THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 1896. CAPITALISTS OF STOCKTON SUED, Three of. the -City’s Rich Men Charged With Fraud. ACCUSED BY A PARTNER. Declared to Have Conspired With a Defaulter to Rob Him. HEAVY DAMAGES DEMANDED. Papers in a Sensational Suit Filed in the Superior Court. ¢ STOCKTON, Car., Aug.l—L. A, Rich- ards, through his attorneys, James A. Louttit of this city and Van R. Paterson of San Francisco, to-day filed in the Supe- rior Court a sensational suit against P. B. Fraser, D. S. Rosenbaum and D. A. Guern- sey, three of the most prominent men in financial circles in tnis city. The suit al- leges all sorts of frauds and deception, and it.-will without doubt bring abeut a hard- fought legal contest. Z The complaint alleges that the plaintiff and the three @efendants entered into an agreement in December, 1891, by which they were to engage in the purchase of farming lands in this county on a partner- ship basis. The transaction that caused all the trouble was the purchase of 3000 acres of land from J. F. Mosely, the de- faulting County Recorder and Auditor; who is now sojourning in Europe on the money that he took with him from this country and from Central -Amerioa, whither he went after he had tired of the: plessures of life in Steckton. The complaint recites the fact that none of the propérty was conveyed at the time to Richards, but that a half-interest was conveyed to Rosenbaum, one-fourth to Fraser and the remaining fourth to Guern- sey, and that the trio entered into a con- spiracy with Moseley, the County Re- corder, at the time. Itdeclares thatthe defendants ‘‘fraudulently designed and schemed to entice said Richards’ into the partnership for the purpose of fleecing him, and that all three **conspired with J. F. Moseley to keep secret the actual agree- mient between the seller of the lands and the purchasers as to the price -paid.” This, he claims, was done for the purpose of defrauding him, as the price paid did not exceed $40 an acre, while the defend- ants represented to him that they paid $75 an acre for the land, and made him pay forhis proportion of it at that rate. As Moseley was the sellerand alsothe County Recorder, Richards claims there was no difficulty ia arranging to keep the actual price secret. Richards claims to have made two pay- ments of §6250 and $8240, in cash, and to have given Rosenbauni his note for $56,000 for the.balance of the purchase price. He now wants heavy damages SANTA CLARA COLLEGE. Studies- Will Be Resumed on Tuesday, With an Increased Number of Students.

To-morrow, the clos- ing'day of the meeting, .will be observed by religious services. : g This morning’s session of convention was opened, by Rey. James Small of Oakland. The report of the finance committeq; reconfmending that the BerKeley Seminary be kept up to.a high standard as aneducationsl instifn- tion, . was presented. The committee urged that the endowment fund be in- creased as soon as possible to $100,000, with the view of ultimately bringing it up to A resolution was introduced asking the tonvention to join with the Sabbath Ob- servance Association in & petition to the Legislature® for a law demanded by that association.” This resolution created con- siderable discussion, as the Christian church does not belieye that there 1s a Sabbath day, but that the Sabbath went out by linritation, and this church obs serves the Lord’s day, or Sunday, under Christ’s dominion: It was agree tition the Legisiattre for Sunday as a rest day, not as a-religious right, but as a mat-. ter of protection against Sunday excur- sions and the like. But the .petition is to be so framed that employes shall not be in danger of losing their positiong through observance'of the day. This church believes that every one may worship according to his own will. * The committee on obituaries expressed cordolence for the family of the late Rev. James A. Logan, who died ‘at- Madera since the present meeting was begun, and for the families of Dr. I. N. Hodgen of Woodland and others. “The convention then adjourned for one year.

There was a large crowd in attendance, the greater portion of which wéat from Los Angeles, during the evening. Bogan was the favorite from the start. He showed great improvement in form over two weeks ago, and justified the faith of his backers by putting Rapp 1o sieep in the tenth round. Fred Monahan officiated as referee, and gave general satisfaction, his. decisions being fair and impartial, while he enforced the rules. Bogan is now looking for a match with any man of bis weight i1 the.country. -He is in condition and able'to make. a satis- factory showing, so he believes, againstall comers.

To further guard against filibusters .Spain is, through her consul at this. port, offer- ing & reward of $10,000 for information leading to the capture within Spanish waters of filibustering expeaitions. Jose Congosto, Spanish Consul, sent a letter to Captain Murphy of the Laurada offering the rewara of $10,000 and immu- nity from -arrest to the informer, The captairf treated this as an attempt at bribery and turned the letter over to Cap- tzin Kerr, counset for the J.

FRESNOS Conducted by Coropsr in July. | ‘FRESNO, CaL,, Aug, 1.—The number of fatalities during the month of July was unprecedented in Fresno’s history. Coro- ner Long held thirteen inquests during the month. In July, 1894, Coroner Stephens had eleven cases, and this record was at the head of the list of Coroners’ reports until this vear. It appears that fatalities have always been more numer- ous during July than in other months. The sawmills in the mountains and the harvesting machines always supply their regular quota during that month. n his report to the Board of Superyis- ors to-day, County Health Officer Adair saysithat almost all dairymen ‘have re- formed their methods of carrying on busi- ness, and that as a result the city is sup- plied, with one or two exceptions, with pure and unadulterated milk. Dr. Adair considers this a great improvement over what has been the case. All dairies, with the exception of that of J. B.

SPEECHES BY PARTY LEADERS. Snrronndfni Towns Send Large Dele- . gations—Ex-Governor Markham Talks for Protection. 328 BouTH BROADWAY, Los Aneeres, OAL., Aug. 1. Republicans of this section turned out in large numbers to-night to attend the opening of the new quarters of the Young Men’s Republican League of the Sixth Congressional District. The league has taken the former quarters 6f the Los An- geles Athletic Club on South Spring street, and has ample room at ite dispesal for similar crowds which will gather in the rooms during the campaign. All of the speakers favored the gold standard and were opposed to the iree coinage of silver as proposed by the oppo- sition. Republicans were urged to stand loyal to the party and not to go after the will-o’-the-wisp of Bryan. Mention of McKinley brought forsh loud applause. In addition to members of the Superior courts, various city and county officials and other prominent Los Angeles Repub- licans, delegations were present from Pasa- dena, Pomona, Orange, Redlands, -San Bernardino and the surrounding towns. Previous to the speaking, a general re- ception was held in the rooms of the club, fruit being served to the guests. The re- ception committee consisted of W. O. Dow, W. A. Blakely, F. P. Frost, I. P. Harrison and A. Waldie, A. W. Kinney, president of the league, called the meet- ing to order, and referred to the remark- able growth, recently, of the Kepublican league in this country, and saida that or- ganization was necessa: Ex-Governor H. H, rkham was in- troduced and spoke briefly. He said that the people ought to stand on the wold basis and support the Republican party. The vital issue, however, was, he declared, protection to American labor. The Democratic party was the party of promises, and now it had started out in this campaign with a new one. It bad never fultilled any of the promises it had maae. The speaker said that he had al- ways been friendly to silverand had hoped to see it some day used as an extensive cir- culating medium, but much as he wanted silver he could not sacrifice those three great Republican principles—protection, Teciprocity and internal improvemenis— 1 to it. J. R. Newberry treated of the financial issue princivally, and spoke from the standpoint of a business man. The com- mercial people were keenly alive, he de- clared, to the present situation and had closely drawn the lines between the two standards of money. = The commercial Los Anaeres Ofrice o THE CALL, } - MARKET AND: TAYLOW Sya.

COLUMBUS, On1o, Aug. 1.—The confer- 1.— | ence of gold Democrats here to-day was | 824 We will ha the stage, Secretary Morton was pre- sented 10 thie audience by Hon. John Mat- tis:Jr. Morton was grateful to the citi- zens for the confidence expressed in ex- tending the invitation to speak on the financial question. He entered into a dise cussion of the history and functions of .money. He declared that there was no ¢riminal demonetization of silver in 1873, but that it was done after full discussion. The is- sue of depreciated silver money caused the hoarding and taking by foreigners of the better gold monev. This was the cause of the panic of 1893. The creation of the gold reserve of $100,000,000 declared the purpose of the Government to maintain a gold standard. If there was any cone spiracy in 1873 against silver there was & crime againsc the flatboat by the steam- boat and a crime against the steamboat by the railroad, and against the horse by the trolley-car and bicycle.. People confound the desire and demand for more money. There is no demand for money unless you have something to give in exchange. All desire money. The silver doilar is not mentioned in the act of 1873, but was de- monetized in 1853, and the law did not harm nor hinder the circulation of silver dollars among the people. Thers are plenty of them—snough tc put eighty-fiva in the hands of every man, woman and child in the land. There is no demand for the silver. Nlu'agy-uvon per cent of the wholesale business and 50 per cent of the retail busi- ness of the country is done without tae use of any coin. The mortgage indebted- ness of Nebraska 1s not nearly as large per capita as that of New York. If this audi. ence was given all the money in the uni- verse on condition that they hold it and ::t use it they would be as poor as could It the silyer men carry their point, all who purchase of us will pay us in silver, and all who sell to us will demand gold to pay the premium.
