4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1896. PEACE REIGNS Reform School Trustees Ac- cept Miss Olmstead’s Resignation. OTEERS WILL FOLLOW. Teachers Accused of Cruelty to Inmates Are Allowed to Withdraw. THE INVESTIGATION DEFERRED Corporal Punishment Is Abo'ished and a Diszgreeable Incident Closed. los ANcELES OFFICE OF TRE CALL, 328 South Broadway, Los ANGELEs, Oal., Aug. 3. ’ The investigation into the affairs of the Whittier State School is beginning to show results. At a late meeting of the board of trustees the resignation of Miss V. Oimstead was read and promptly ac- cepted. Miss Olmstead is the teacher who is accused of having applied a cat-o’ nine-tails to the bare back of Rhoda Webb, one of the inmates. After the Webb girl's last flogging and confinement in a cell on bread and water, she attempted suicide. This act precipitated the inves- tigation. i Other offending teachers are expected to resign soon, corporal punishment is to | be avolished and peace is ‘to reign over | Whittier. The investigation has been in- | definitely deferred and will probably | never be resumed. At least one of the| trustees, the superintendent and boys of the institution are having a three weeks’ picnic at Santa Catalina MURDEE BY ARSON. | Une Life Lost in a Fire of Alleged Incen- | diary Origin. | LOS ANGELES, CaL, Aug. 3.—Max Meyers is in the City Jail, charged with arson, as the result of a fire which oc- curred at First and Los Angeles streets this morning and caused the loss of one life. Meyers kept a second-hand clothing store in a row of onestory buildiugs | owned by J. A. Bullard: Three men, pass- | ing his place at an early hour this morn- ing, aliege that they saw Meyers throw a lighted match onto some paper under a | gasoline stove at the rear of his store, | atter which he hurried into the street The gasoline was evidently turned on, fo almost instantly there was an explosion | and the building was in flames. The fire spread rapidly to _a Chinese | washhouse adjoining and J. B. Hunter’s | cigar-stand on the corner. A number of | Chinese laundrymen, who were at work | when the fire broke out, barely had time | to reach the street. Wo Bing, one of the | excited Celestials, returned to get some | money w he had in a table drawer in I a back but before he could secure the treasi:e cscape was cut off, and he perished m serably in the flames. The FireDepartment was promptly on the spot, but the three buildings were gutted before the flames could be checked. | Bullard's loss on the buildings is about | $1500. Hunter's loss is $300, uninsured. | The loss on the ]aundr{) is $500. Meyers | was insured for $500, but his loss is be- | lieved to beless than that amount. Fire | Chief Moore says this is not the first time | that Meyers has been suspected of arson. Satetes e A OIL SUPPLY DIMINISHED, Well- Owners Cannot Provide Enongh for | ocal Consumption. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 3.—The ex- | ecutive committee of the 0il Exchange of this city, at its meeting to-day, decided to move the headquarters of the exchsange to 426 Bryne block, where the office of the American Oil Company is located. Secre- tary Strasbury of the exchange said this afternoon: “I hate very much to admit it, but the fact is that it is only the question of a few weeks when the oil industry of Los An- geles will be a thing of the past. The American Oil Company has just sunk a new well, ana the production is only about eight barrels. For the last four months | the supply has been 40,000 barrels short of the consumption. This is an average of 10,000 barreis monthly. It will not be| long until the furnaces here are again consuming coal.” e panint CAUSED A CHILD'S DEATH. Manslaughter Charge Filed Against a Thirteon-Year-Old Boy. LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 3.—A re- markable charge has been filed against | 13-year-old Willie Challis, who, while “playing fire engine” with a tricycle lighted with a gasoline lamp, caused the | death of little Roy Hazell as the result of an explosion. Just how young Challisis gmlty of manslaughter does not appear, ut that is the charge against him, and he will probably be committed to Whittier for - his rashness in playing with an ex- plosive in company with a boy smaller than himseif.

' SOUTHERN PACIFIC TAXES' INCREASED. State Equalizers Add to the Assessment on the Railway. PLACED AT 816,573,334 Slight Raise Over the Original Figures Submitted to the Board. REDUCTIONS ON FOUR ROADS. No Change Made on the Pullman or Atlantic and Pacific Property. SACRAMENTO, Oarn, Aug. 3.—The labors of the State Board of Equalization as far as they appertain io the railroads of the State were completed at noon: to-day. The Southern Pacific’'s assessment was side parties, and I want Mr. Harrison ap- pointed as expert. Now, here’s the claim of M_x;. Funston. He has not been work- ing. “‘Mr. Funston keeps check on the book- binding employes,’ explained Mr. John- son. ‘“‘He has been sick, but was allowed his wages.” “Why?” demanded Fitzgerald, “Because he worked overtime during the session of the Legislature,” answered Mr. Johnson. “Well, here area list of eight employes who have been paid for sixteen days while the State printing office was closed,”’ said the Governor. ¥ *‘Well, the practice of taking a vacation is common in all eivit offices,” remarked Fitzgerald. “Idon't care whether it is or not,” re- torted the Governor. ‘‘When a man comes inand swears that services were rendered on the dates and in the manner named in the bill, when they werenot, the system should be revised, as much for Mr. Johnson’s })robecuon as anything else. If the State of California cannot pay $50 to bave claims examined it cannot get me to pass them, that's all.”” “Well, I presume that with these excep- tions the lLill- approved are all right; are they not?” asked Fitzgerald. “That's what I propose to find out,” remarked Governor Budd. ‘*Mr. Jolnson has a big office and.I want it so regulated that it will be impossible for his foremen to deceive him should they so desire.” “Who 1s this Harrison?” asked Fitz- gerald, turning to Jobnson. “wHe H n éxpert printer and & ‘square’ man,’ wered Johnson. “Has ny feeling againstyou or your office ?”’ olitical feel- Johnson. ! said Fitzger- **Well, I believe he has a ing. He is a Democrat, u'l'Tmt's his misfortune, ald. “And I think it’s his glory,” interrupted the Governor.

The S8an Francisco and San Mateo elec- tric road was rednced from $150,000 to $120,000; the Pacific Coast Kailway Com- vany obtained a reduction of $70 50; the Gaulalag River Company a reduction of $10,000; and the South Pacific Coast, for- merly assessed at $1,300,000, was reduced to $1,153,920, a $146,000 decrease on the valua- tion from last year’s assessment. The other roads remain unchanged, as does the rolling stock of the Pullman Palace Car Company and the Atlantic and Pacific Company. WAGES FOR TYPESETTERS Governor Budd Inquires Into State Printing O!fice Methods. Demands the Appointment of an Ex. pert to Audit Books and Bills. SACRAMENTO, Car., Aug. 3.—In re- sponse to a message, State Printer John- son appeared before the Btate Board of Examiners to-day and was questionea by Governor Budd, who declares it to be his intention to make a thorough examina- tion into the methods employed in con- ducting the birthplace of schoolbooks and official State documents. State Printer Johnson declares that investigation can- not take place any too soon or ba con- ducted in any too searching a manner to suit him. The first question to which the Governor required an answer was: **How comes it that the board receiverd aclaim fora foreman’s salary when the entire plant was closed ?"" Mr. Johneon said that the office was never entirely closed, some of the men working right along, and in a few cases where men had worked heavy overtime under press of work it was customary to allow them wages during a vacation to reimburse them. Governor Budd then stated that he desired an expert appointed to go over the bilis of the office, and to perform that duty he favored Mr. Hatrison. He aiso declared that he would sign no more bills until they had been experted. “lsit nota fact, ked Attorney-Gen- eral Fitzgerald, this matter has been under mnvestigation and that Secre- tary Markley has been approving these bills right along without objection, and un;' no flaws have been pointed out to me 2 “I wrote to you about it,” retorted the Gow'r’nor. “and I also spoke about an ex- Tt “But you did not tell me that you sus- pected anything or anybody,” answered the Attorney-General. “It is the system I am afraid of,”’ said the Governor, “not Mr. Johnson. He has to rely upon the statement of hix fore- men, who ars notrequired to certify under oath, and they may be deceiving him. I claim unx the ting should not cost more than it would to have it done by oute always used thisone and, I am sure, to ood advantage. Some piecework has to nid for double.” hen the Governor turned to Fitzgerald and said: ‘*We agreed to appoint an ex- pert and Mr Ely, who gave me the infor- mation that the office was closed for six- teen dsxs. was three days later dis- charged.”” *‘He avas discharged for good cause,” in- terrupted Johnson, ““and has written reas- ons stating why he was discharged, and it was for no such reason as you intimate.” “The reason you gave was incompe- tency,” said the Governor, ““and he is as | 2ood a workman as thers 1s in the State.” “Mr. Rodgers, who gave him hisdis- charge, ill be glad to show you some of the work he has done,"’ said Johnson. “I have known bim for years,” replied the Governor. “He was & compositor in the Stockton Mail office, and while I can’t help his discharge, I don’t feel right that it should be caused simply because he an- swered my questions.” “‘We asked the resignation of the former Erlntlng expert,” said Fitzgerald, “‘because e had nothing to do, What do you want with another?” ‘“Yes; but since that time we have had several cases before the board which clearly demonstrated that there shouid be an expert to pass on supplies for the print. ing office.” And then the matter was postponed till to-morrow, as were the chargesagainst the Yountville Soldiers’ Home. i, Swanberg Goes Free. SBACRAMENTO, CaL, Aug. 8.—Gov- ernor Budd this morning denied the ap- plication for the requisition of C. O.

E. L. Newbern, connected with the @uyallup Indian reservation school, near Tacoma, Wash., stated that nearly every Indian school and reservation west of the Rocky Mountains was represented either n person by its teacher or by proxy in some other teacher. The main object of the institute is to censider how to teach the Indian to be civilized and how best to do it. In the audience were a number of Indians, in- cluding three very intelligent young In- dian ladies. Dr. R. E. L. Newbern officiated as chair- man of the evening. Among the distin- guished visitors on the platform were: Dr. W. N, Hailman of Washington, D. C., general superintendent of United States Indian Schools; the three United States Indian Supervisors — Moss, Mead and Rakestraw; Mrs. Nellie B. Eyster, presi- dent of the California Branch of the Woman’s National Indian Association; State Superintendent of Instruction Black, G. M. Irwin, Superintendent of Public In- struction of Oregon; Superintendent of City Schools Madison Babcock. Superintendent Baboock delivered the address of walcome. State Superintendent Black in his ad- dress said that the whites obtained this country not from England, but from the aborigines, No work of the Government was doing mhore for civilization and hu- mamty than the Indian Department, and he expressed a hearty welcome to the insti- tute in behalf of California, saying the hearts of the people of California are al- ways warm, The response to the addresses of wel- come was made by Dr. Haiiman. Hesaid: *The Indians as much the wards of the State as of the Great Fatner. I hope the Indian wards will be taken out of the hunds of the Great Father and cared for by the several States as soon as possible. “You know their need much better than we. But still, as yet, we are strungers in the land in which they were born. The only way to teach them citizenship is to teach them citizenship in practice. We are trying to teach our Indians under con- ditions that do not promote rivilization. His bravery, his courage are unquestioned; his devotion to duty is & lesson to each one of us. His heart is as tender as ours. Wecan learn much from the Indianin things great. To civilize them in dress is not enough; we must otvilize them from within."” Hon. J. M. Irwin, State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Oregon, said in his address: ‘This is one of the most important questions that confronts us. Thirty years ago it was found necessary to surround the Indian with a certain kind of environ- ment—a military environment. Now the question is not so much how to protect the white man, but to give the Indian the advantages of the white man; how to make a citizen of him, The Unitea States in order to preserve its existence must educate its people and moralize 1ts people. The United Statesin general and L ___________} ~__ Children Ory for ) Pitcher's Castoria. eanch State in particular should bear in mind those two things. *“It is the duty of this Government to absorb the body of red inen on this coast and make them a partof us, instead of surrounding them with the environment of the Government. We have legislated as though they were a foreign people and not as a people that belong to us. The red man has a right to go to a saloon and get as drunk as a white man, but he has no right to citizenship! I have seen black | faces, yellow faces and white faces in | school in Portland, but I never saw there a red face. The red boys are as capable to lenrn as the yellow, black and many white | faces. Why not admit them to our pub- | lic schoois?”’ | This concluded the speech-making.

The Great Specialist, Doctor H. manently Estab Cook, Is Now Per= lished in Their Very Midst. There are not many communities where- in the aflicted are so particularly fortu- nate as they are here in San Francisco. They need not suffer unless they choose to do so. There is help for them. The gréat American specialist, Doctor H, Cook, the glory of whose fame is spoken of in France, Germany and other European countries, is now a practitioner in our midst. He is here in Ban Francisco—here to stay. This is his adopted home. He has made investments here, as shown by the official records in the County Record- er's office, and his future, which will be no less glorious than his past, will be given over to sufféering humanity here and throughout the Western United States. Although it is only recenily that Doctor Cook bhas offered his valuable services to the Ban Francisco public, he does not have to build up a name for himself. Thatis already firmly established and is world wide. His fams preceded him.
