16 - THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1896. MAY AVENGE A PUBLIC INSULT, Rumor That Neagle Will Be Asked to Go Out of Town. TALE OF A COMMITTEE. Barry Declares That He Knows Nothing Abeut the Matter. POLICY WILL BE THE SAME. He Will Not Try to Have Neagle Arrestea Because That Would Be of No Effect. There may be some aftermath growing [ from the hostile meeting between David Neagle ana James H. Barry, editor of the Star. 3 Certain of Barry’s friends have given out hints that they intend to make Neagle leave town—constituting themselves, in fact, a sort of “vigilance committee’ to cause Neagle to depart. When Mr. Barry was asked about this movement he said tbat he knew nothing about it. Never- theless the rumor was insistent. No one could be found yesterday who would say that he knew anything of the matter. Barry’s friends intimate that something may develop within the next few days, but how or when no one cared to pre- dict. If there is any such movement on foot it naturally would be kept as quiet as possible, because no such proceeding could be countenanced by the regularly constituted authorities of the City. Barry is known to bave strong friends. Neagle, on the other hand. is not sup- posed to be 2 man who could be easily induced to quit the town. Mr, Barry declares that he will continue in the courde which he has pursued in the Star and intimates that on Saturday he will have something severe to say about Neagle and also about others. An article in the Star was the cause which led to the encounter between Neagle and Barry, and the latter firmly believes that the former intended to kill him if he (Barry) had made any move. Barry had been informed that Neagle was threatening him before that meeting. He has since heard that Neagle yesterday threatened to do him harm to-day. Last evening Mr. Barry was seen at his home in the Western Addition. Tuesday night and last night there were many callers at the house. Concerning his plans in reference to Neagle Mr. Barry spoke as follows: “So far as I am concerned I will do nothing. I will await results and will be prepared for results. I do not mean by that statement that I will carry arms, for I will not. 1 have never carried arms, do not know how to use arms and have never fired a pistol.” “Will you move to have Neagle ar- rested?”’ “I will not, because I find after consnl- tation with my attorneys that I cannot have him arrested for an assault to commit murder and could only have him arrested for a minor offense. While I know that in some of our courts justice can be obtained Ialso know that in other courts justice can be defeated. To have Neagle arrested upon a minor charge would have no effect whatever. He would simply be fined and the Southern Pacific Company would pay the fine, so that he would not feel it at all. He would nov be punished, in other words. ““His punishment, if any punishment he shall have, must come in some other way. So far as I am concerned the matter is out of my hands. It is now before the highest tribunal—the peope.” “What will you do in your paper?” “The policy which I have pursued in the Star will be continued in the future, and threats of assassination will have no effect upon me, as will appear by the next issue of the paper.” “What do you know about an alleged committee in process of formation, having for its purpose giving notification to Neagle to go away ?”’ I know nothing about it.” **Currency is given tosuch a reportin an evening paper, and it purports to come from your friends.” . “I know nothing about it. I would like to say.that when the article which an- gered Neagle was written by myseif I had no malice toward Neagle. In fact, I never saw Neacle to know him until Tuesday.” John H. Burke, a writer on the Star, having made a statement to the effect that the Neagle episode will not make any dif- ference in policy, Mr. Barry was asked about that. *“‘Yes, that is true,jevery word of it,”” was the answer. Tuesday night “Brick” McPherson, who is well known about town, went to Barry’s house and offered to act as his bodyguard, but Barry declined to accept his services, and said that he did not desire a body- guard. He would continue to move about as heretofore, unarmed and unguarded, he said, the same as any other citizen. EARP AND NEAGLE. The Well-Known Arizonlan Tells About His Significant Relations With Neagle. The strangest thing in connection with NEW TO-DAY. NO SLEEP DAY GRNIGHT My hands were completely covered with Ee- zema, and between my fingers the skin was perfectly raw. I had to sit with both hands held up, and away from the fire. My husband had to dress and undress me like a baby. I tried the best physicians, but their medicines gave me no lelie},: and drove me almost crazy. I was ad. vised to try CUTICURA REMEDIES, and did so, although my husband had to go twenty miles to t them. As soon as he got back, I used the 'UTICURA, and in five minutes after the first application I was perfectly easy, snd alept soundly all that night. Before I commenced using Coricurs REMEDIES I could get no ease night or day. I could not bear to get warm, it would put me in a rage of itching. I always keep the '1cURA REMEDIES in my house now, and recommend them to everybody, because their wonderful effect. Yours gratefully, AGNES M. HARRIS, Push, Mecklenburg Co.

Wyatt Earp is here also, and the general suppositon has been that his presence would cause Neagle to remove himself, just as sunshine dispels darkness. There is some friction between Earp and Neagle. Earp, in particular, frets when Neagle is around, because he does not like him. Some years ago he told Neagle that they must not remsin in this City at the same time, and it would be best for the slayer of Terry to seek the stelter of the woods whenever he (Earp) saw fit to come to town. On the other hand, while Neagle does not like Earp, he has heretofore ob- served the latter’s desire, and, for seven years he has never been seen in this City while the well-known Arizonan has been here. “I don't like to court notoriety by speak- ing of this matter,” said Mr. Earp yester- day. “Itis past history, but it was very displeasing to me at the time. In some interview published in one of the City pa- pers Neagle was quoted as saying that he had driven me out of Tombstone, Ariz. “I did not like that and I wrote to Chris Buckley, Neagie's friend ana who put him in the position of Deputy United States Marshal where he killed Terry, that I must have Neagle’s statement retracted. I gave him three daysin which to doit. Neagle was in jail at the time and I did not like to press him. I was in Napa, and on the fourth day I gave an interview there, telling the story as it really was and show- ing thdt Neagle had not told the truth. “Subsequently I came to this Oity, and one day I stood with my back turned to the street, talking to some friends, in front of the Elite saloon on Kearny street. “Suddenly I noticed my friends scatter asif afraid of being in my company. No one told me what was the matter, and asI turned around- to see, there was Dave Neacle reaching out to shake my hand. “ ‘You gave me a hard deal in that Napa paper,” Neagle said to me. ‘Of course I did,’ I told him, ‘and I said nothing but the truth.’ “Neagle agreed with me and denied ever having opened his mouth to anybody in regard to our affairs in Arizona. “I am located in this City now and I don’t think Neagle will come around looking for me. I am engaged at the present time doing some newspaper work and will be on duty to-morrow.”” Lecture by Rev. A. M. Clark. Rev. Arthur M. Clarg, C.S.

You must know how to play handball, football, wrestle, box and occasionally kick at your nearest neighbor’s shin. You must never get mad, and at the most. aggravating and undue advantage taken in any of these gentle pastimes by some opponent, you must turn the other cheek and say, “Slap again.” By all means you must not forget to smile as you limp away from the scene of sport and tell your fellow-sufferers about the great joy that has been yours, and how much better you feel for the exercise.

HOW THE MEN THE CIY VELODAOME A Project to Erect a Big Struc- ture Near the Park Pan- handle. It Will Be Devoted to Various Kinds of Amusements and Will Cost $40,000. It is the intention to establish in this City a *“Velodrome,” nsmed after the Paris structure, to be devoted to various classes of sports. Articles of incorpora- tion have been filed by J. D. Gibbs, Cress Unger, J. Bruckman, E. Calisher and William H. Chapman. The capital stock is $50,000. A seven years’ lease has been secured of the block of land bounded by Baker, Feil, Lyon and Hayes streets, and upon it the corporation intends to put up a corrugated iron bpilding to cost ,000. It will be 400x375 feet in dimensions, covering the entire grounds. Details are as yet unde- cided, but it is generally understood that within the inclosure there will be a six- lap bicycie track, a cinder path and a 100- {nrd straightaway. There will also be a awn tennis and handball courts, a riding academy, salt water baths, a cafe, etc. Provisions will be made too for concerts, chutes and scenic railroads. The building will have an arched roof, with outer walls 30 feet high, It will seat 21,000 persons and have stalls for 1100 horses.

Daniel Frawley, Jake Gottlob and the other members of the “‘Sanicult”’ Club are feeling just now. They are terribly sore physically, but highly elated mentally over their new de- parture. The fact is that both Gottiob and Fraw- ley have been taking on flesh at an unwar- rantable rate during these past few months, and they have decided not ex- actly to lose it but rather to contract its bulk and make it harder. With thisin view they recently fitied upa private gymnasium in the cellar at 110 Powell street, where every afternoon at 3 o’clock they meet. No one who has ever seen these suave gentlemen in their daily intercourse at the Columbia Theater could be made to be- lieve the terrible things they do to each other in that basement. Yesterday, after stripping to the most abbreviated costume that could be toler- ated at the least exacting seashore bathing place, they started in at a game of hand- ball. Ralph Ross, the athletic tutor of the school, refereed the game and was phys- ically able to pull Frawley off when he had his heel on Gottlob’s neck. Handball developed enough cholar between the con- testants to fivthem nicely for a four-round bout with the gloves. These four-rcund affairs are such in name only. Ross regularly announces: “It istime now, gentlemen, for the four-round go.” Frawley and Gottlob pick their gloves and goat it. Buch swinging upper cuts, counters and cross courters no one ever saw. How on earth in such a small gymnasium they can manage to fail hit- ting each other is astounding. But, if they do not cripple or disfigure each other, | they do great work in reducing their corpulence and keep the janitor busy | swabbing the floor. DELEGATES MAY WITHDRAW. Serious Trouble Has Arisen in the _Building Trades Council, There will probably be a stormy meet- ing of the Building Trades’ Council to- night, and upon its proceedings depend the continuance or withdrawal of the dele- gates of several of the largest unions in the council. As a fact Carpenters and Joiners’ Union No. 22 has already voted to withdraw its delegates and No. 483 will probably follow suit. That No. 304, the Amalgamated Carpenters’ and the Italian union will also draw out is also predicted. This trouble has been brewing for some time and the causes may be traced 1o three sources. - When the unions affiliated S8ixX or eight months ago, it was decided that each union should be represented by three delegates, irrespective of the mem- benhi}z of the unions. As time passed the council found large experises had tobe met in the shape of ‘wages for its two business agents, printed matter, etc. Each union was taxed at so much per capita. Carpenters’ Union No. 22 found that it was amdh&g nearly 30 per cent of the expenses, and No. 483 about 18 per cent. Yet neither had any more voice in the proceedings of the council than a small union that pays not over 2 per cent, The next bitch was relative to admitting the delegates of the Shinglers’ Union, and the decision was adverse to the shinglers mainly npon the demands of the car- penters. The shingler question was not buried but brought up again by other unions favoring their admission, and the matter 'Was again thrown into the council, much the annoyance of the carpenters, for :i?iofi.l“ consideration. It is still unde- e The third cause was ths Lathers’ Union. Many non-union lathers have been com- ing to town who take work wherever they can get it. As a result many good jobs vromising long work were struck on their eccount and non-union carpenters filled the vacated places. At present there are probably twenty- five such ‘‘struck” jobs in this City, and hundreds of union carpenters are wniking the streets while non-union men are doing the work. To put it plainly, the carpen- ters came to the conclusion that the coun- cil could not carry the lathers, because that union, they say, has caused more trouble and strikes than all of the others. Moreover, the lathers are upholding the shinglers against the carpenters. In fact, many lathers are also shinglers. The trouble has now arrived at a crisis and the carpenters have given the coun- cil the ultimatum that the Jonah must be thrown overboard or they will abandon the ship, It is this matter that is to be decided to-night. Whether or not the lathers will be thrown out remains to be Bseen, The District Council of Carpenters and Joiners took the bull by the horns last night and made a decisive move by ap- pointing C. W. Page as business agent for the five carpenters unions. At a recent meeting of Union No. 22 it was decided that if the Building Trades Council does not throw out the lathers the District Couneil will ignore the working card of the former body, and on Monday next will issne working cards of its own.

Improvements in the Bathing Department Will Be Expensive. SOME OF THE EMPLOYES T0 GO Professional Boxing Clubs Are Look- ing for Good Talent. Which Is Hard to Find. Members of the Olympic Club who take an interest in club elections are still dis- cussing the nominations for directors and the proposed opvosition ticket, which will be made known in a few days. The members who do not favor Newhall for president say that be will certainly be defeated on election day, as he proved himself a poor financier during his term as vice-president of the club. H. 8. Crocker, whose name will figure on the recular ticket for the office of vice-presi- dent, is seemingly a favorite with all the members and his election is consequently certain. During & conversation on Olympic Club affairs Mr. Crocker said he was in favor of abolishing the annexes, as they were, if anything, damaging to the interest of the club. He thought that the wheelmen of the club should be known as the Olympic Wheelmen and that the club should develop its own talent instead of selecting first-class riders from outside clubs and offering them inducements to join the Olympics. “The Gun Club has just as much right to advance guard, will report at the armory on Fl‘ldlg, August 7, at 6:30 A. .

But there is good room for improvement and I think that the Olympic Clubcan be made self- sustaining.” Mr. Crocker spoke very favorably of the retiring president, Mr. raton. Superintendent W. J. Kennedy feels un- easy over the defeat of the Eaton ticket. He is of the opinion that the change in the administration will mean the curtail- ing of expenses and the discharge of some employes. It is common talk around the club that the new broom will make several clean sweeps; that Billy Kennedy will be dis- charged; that Professor Tronchet, the fencing instructor, will receive an indefinite | E. Licbess leave of absence; that the salaries of the boxing, wrestling and gymnastic instruc- tors will receive a trimming, and that some of the colored employes will receive a notice that their services will be no longer required. Ketrenchment will be the war cry of the new board, and a new system of government will be inaugura- ted. Itisa safe prediction thatthe nextgov- erning board will find hard climbing at the start. There are many improvements to be made in the club, which will call for quite an expenditure. In the first place the bathing department must undergo re- pairs, which must necessarily be exten- sive. Ata low estimate made by one of the present board of officers, it will cost the club $2500 to remove the timbers of the bath-rooms, and also the leaden pipes which have been greatly damaged by the salt water. Galvanized pipes will replace the pres- ent lead ones and the bathrooms must be constructed of some material impervious to the inroadsof the salt water. Inthe second place if a football team be or- ganized the club must dig into the treas- ury as uniforms, instructors, grounds, training expenses, etc., will cause a fur- ther depletion. The general opinion is that few enter- tainments wilt be given during the next year unless the present membership be strengthened by an addition of several hundred. What the next board will do to attract new members is at the present time & puzzle to the knowing ones. Robert McArthur, the clever boxer who met Georgze Green at the recent Olympic entertainment in a four-round bout, has been suspended from the amateur ranks by W. F. Humphrey, president of the Pa- cific Coast Amateur Athletic Association. McArthur's case will be investigated next Friday evening at a meeting of the asso- ciation. Van Buskirk, the heavy-weight who whipped poor old Jagk Davis, has silently stolen away from the City, and is now en- joying himself somewhere in the moun- tains. The National and Colma Athletic clubs offered Van Buskirk a large purse to meet Jeffries in a ten-round contest, but when Van ‘sized up” the loose- jointed and strapping big representative of the orange groves of Los Angeles he wisely concluded that he had a hard con- tract vefore him, and rather than take any chances of losing a great reputation, which he gained by whipping Jack Davis, he said not & word to club managers as he de- parted for parts unknown. Young Mitchell of the Occidental Club has signed a year’s lease of Woodward’s Gardens, where he intends to hold boxing matches. Thne first event will take place on the evening of the 28th inst. It will be a ten-round contest between Joe Mec- Auliffe and Paddy Slavin, and a ten-round bout between ‘‘Spider” Kelly and Gus Herget. Slaven is on his journey from the East. McAauliffe 1 said to be in good condition now, thanks to the close watch that has been kept on him by Professor Barney Farley, his manager. Next Tuesday evening the Manhattan Athletic Club will give a first-class enter- tainment at its gymnasium, 1749 Mission street, when the feather-weight champion- ship will be decided. The Columbia Amateur Athletic Club of 1108 Golden Gate avenue, elected the fol- lowing officers to serve for the ensuin, year: President, Bob Cook; secretary, Ms Mamlock; treasurer, Joe Michaels; ser- geant-at-arms, I.
