THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1896. CHAINS, BULLETS AND MASKED MEN J. A. Campbell, the Missing Hawaiian Millionaire, Returns. TELLS A LURID TALE. How He Was Decoyed Into a Strange Room, Bound, Shot at and Robbed. A BULLET-HOLE IN HIS HAT. Captain Lees and the Other Detec- tives Confer and Search for the Suspected Miscreants. James A. Campbell, the largest indi- vidual taxpayer on the Hawaiian Islands, an elderly man, said to be worth $6,000,000, returned to the Occidental last night with a story to the effect that he was the victim of a bold conspiracy to rob him of a large sum of money. He left nis hotel last Monday afternoon in company with a man of notorious repu- tation. Tuesday morning he was to have sailed on the Austiralia for his home in Honolulu, passage having been already engaved for himself, his wife and twolittle daughters. As he failed to appear at the pier up to the hour of sailing Mrs. Campbell can- celed the tickets and, returning to the hotel, notified Detective Curtin and he and his men began a search for the missing millionaire. Yasterday morning, however, the case was called to the atten- tion of Chief of Detectives Lees. All day the force was on the alert for a trace of Campbell or of tLe man with whom he was last seen. Neither was found by the detectives or by the police. It was reported that at five minutes before noon the man who had left the Occidental with the wealthy planter eatered an up- and made certain inqairies. and left no trace when the ved. tes before 9 o’clock last night all old capitalist walked into the tal office and went at once to the He was accompanied by his TVundenberg, Postmaster- Hawait during the monarchy. ndenberg had only met Mr. pbell on the sidewalk near the hotel. The two men went at once to the Campbell apartmenis—a suite of rooms on the second floor, Montgomery-street front—where the anxious wife was plan- g with Attorney C. W. Ashford, a for- resident of Honol and “Gov- nor’’ E. G. Freeth as to the course to be pursued on the morrow. When her husband suddenly appeared upon the scene, well and apparently un- injured after his inexplicable absence of over two days and two nights, Mrs. Camp- bell fainted, and her condition became so alarming that no other thing was thought of just then but a doctor. While Mr. Ashford and. Mr. Freeth ¢ summoning a physician and ephoning for Detectives Lees and Cur- Mrs. Campbell revived, and the order a doctor was countermanded in ac- 1ce with s determination to keep ng as quiet as possible. he meantime the husband told the v of his absence. He said that he had out by appointment with a friend. They went into a saloon and had a dnnk. Having withdrawn to a side-roem they were in conversation, when a masked man suddenly entered and, covering Campbeil with two pistols, said, “Give up.’’ He didn’t give up. There was a tussle. A shot was fired and a bullet_passed throtigh the millionaire’s hat. He was overpowered and, to use his own words, “‘was chained to the floor.” He was robbed. Last night he was liperated and gwen a nickel for carfare. It ail occurred somewhere near the French Hospital. This is in substance what Mr. Campbell told his wife. Then Detectives Lees and Curtin and three other men—including the one who had been detailed in the hotel office for two days—arrived, and a discreet silence became the watchword. After over a half hour's consultation Lees telephoned lengthy orders to his as- sistants at headquarters and returned to the room while Mr. Ashford hurried away from the hotel to engage a hack as de- velopments showed. Socn after Campbell himself, Curtin and one of his assistants left the hotel by thé side entrance and started toward Market street. Lees came down shortly and refused ab- solutely to say anything about the case and walked leisurely up Montgomery street. In the entrance to the Masonic Temple Campbell and the two detectives awaited the chief, He joined them and at the Kearny-street corner of Post street a carriage came quickly up and the whole party was driven rapidly up Post street. It was then 10:30 o'clock. They were going to visit the place where the old gen- tleman had been held in durance vile. Mr. Campbell came into the Occidental Hotel about o’clock this morning. He was escorted by a man, presumably a detective of the Curtin agency. The only answer he gave to the in- quiries of the reporters was, “Please do not ask me anythicg now. Iam too tired and have not slept for several nights.” Mr. Campbell walked up the stairs as if baying gone through a severe ordeal. His escort repeated his inability to answer any questions, saying, “He can’t answer any questions to:nignt; don’t ask him, gentle- men. James A. Campbell is a very tall, wiry man of angular build. For his age he is strong and active, a physical condition in- auced by years of hard work. In 1850 he went to Honolulu. He was then a boy of 20, an apprentice to a ship’s carpenter. He was born in the north of Ireland. His father was Scotch. In time he accumulated some property and con- tinned to ada to his wealth. He owns a handsome residence on Emma street, in Honolulu, and another at Kapiolani Park. He owns plantations on several of the islands. One of these ranches alone is re- puted to furnish an income of $45,000 per annum. In Honolulu he owns business blocks. Altogether, he is the moneyed man of the Republic of Hawali. The Lahaina plantation which he first owned in partnership with Henry Turton proved to be a stépping-stone to his great wealth, " r 4 He early made sugar mills with his own bands and with his own hands tended the vreat iron kettlesiu which the sugar was boiled, crawling wrapped in wet sacks under the furnaces to revair the flaws. It was his great physical energy and his inherent tenacity that made him a danger- ous old man for persons to tackle with intent to torture or intimidate into paying a ransom. > About sixteen years ago he was married toa native Hawaiian, and four girls are the result of that union. Three months ago Mr. Campbell came here with his family, and recently the two olcer girls were put in the college of Notre Dame in Ban Jose. In a year Mr. Campbell was to return from the islands and take his daughters General o on a tour of the world. He would not have them educated at Honolulu, as he entertains a violent dislike for the mis- sionary element. He is a royalist himself. He made his fortune under the monarchy, and when the missionaries, whom he had so often remembered in a handsome way, gave their sympathy to the republic, he became bitterly opposed to them. 5 Some time ago Mr. Cawmpbell, it is said, was a heavy drinker. Then he gave up drink entirely, Since his arrival in this City and during hisassociations with sev- eral companionable tipplers he took kindly to his afternoon toddy once more, and on one or two occasions, it is asserted, he showed signs of the times. The presumption is raised that Mr. Campbell may again have returned to his old fondness for liquor; may have been off for a quiet time, and may have seen fit to keep up a plausable story by engaging the detectives to aid him in carrying out his pian. COLORED SUFKFRAGISTS. Much Interest Is Being Stirred Up by Mrs. Naomi Anderson’s Lectures in Oakland “T am astonished to observe the inter- est and enthusiasm which the woman suf- frage campaign has stirred up among the colored people across the bay.” Tuus did the Rev. J. E. Edwards, pastor of the African Metuodist Episcopal church of Oakland, pay tribute to the elo- quence of Mrs. Naomi Anderson, whose lec- tures across the bay have proved fully as successful as her course in this City. The pastor, who is always a welcome guest at the Woman Suffrage Bureau, dropped in there yesterday to cheer the friends of the cause by giving them a glowing yet truth- ful picture of an important branch of the work to which they have pledged their best endeavors. “Mrs. Anderson,” pursued the reverend gentlethan, ‘‘is a wonderful orator. Mak- ing no attempt at display, without any straining after effect, she has a way of marshaling solid, stubborn facts before her audience which is most expressive and convincing. On Tuesday the nucleus of a club was formed, the permanent organiza- tion of which will be effected on Friday, | when the first meeting is to take place at the residence of Mrs. Parker, 813 Myrtle street. At last night's lecture the ques- tion of woman suffrage was put toa vote and the immense audience was unanimous in its favor. It looks as though the cause could rely upon Oakland’s colored vote.” SUFFRAGE 1S, SUCILISH Miss Anthony Addresses a Meet- ing at the Turk-Street Temple. She Edits a Query Column and Im- parts Some Homely Bits of Wisdom. Miss Susan B. Anthony addressed a meeting of socialists at the Turk-street Temple last evening, and at the close of her remarks answered a number of queries relating to woman suffrage, It cannot be said that the questions asked the noted advocate of her sex and exceedingly quick- witted lady were burdened with profun- dity or blaziug with brilliancy. They were unique, however. One asked if woman, more or less re- ligious, would not carry her faith into politics, and do mix church and state in confusion worse confounded. Miss An-| thony replied that the influence of any de- | nomination or any minister of the gospel could not be de:rimental to a state founded | on the principles of morality, and more- over the influence of a clergyman who was dependent upon his congregation for his sustenance could not exert a very over- whelming influence over the individual members of his flock. He could not have nearly so much influ- ence as the great corporations upon whom so many voters were dependent for their daily bread. Another querist asked if women, who are generally ignorant of the principles of government, could use the baliot for her own and the improvement of the masses. The answer was that the workingmen had been voting in this country for a cen- tury, and, according to the socialisis, their political and economic condition was most deplorable. One doubting Thomas asserted that women were intellectually inferior to men, and also that she had no knowledge of economic and labor questions. He was told that the first seven years of a boy's life were in the hands of his mother, and during that time she laid the foundation of his future intellect and usefulness in the world. She imparted the same in- struction to his sisiers, and their early training was identical. The schools were now graduating three girls to one boy and the higher educa- tional institutionsat the ratio of five girls to three boys. Intelligent men always sought the society of women and unless the former were like oysters closed tightly in their own individual shells they certainly would impart some of their intellectual gifts to the latter. suffragists did not ally themselves to the labor cause Miss Anthony answered that a woman was a cook and baker and always had been, and was in symglthy with their cause, but she could only be ot use to them and their brother workers when she uad the ballot. She was not a partisan, only a suffragist. And regarding a woman’s alleged eco! omic ignorance, she asked what man could make a dollar go as far as could a woman. One speaker got the floor and uproari- ously asserted that a woman who could not trust her husband to do hervoting, he, the speaker, would not have for a mother. He quoted Christ, St. Paul and went back into the dust of Egyptian centuries to prove that a woman was at the bottom of the world’s bad luck. The chairman apologized for permitting him to talk with the explanation that the orator was evidently wound up, and it was bet'er to let him run down. A num- ber of other speeches of the same caliber were indulged in, while Miss Anthony sat patiently and listened. MYRIADS OF DOLLARS.

A Little Difference of Opinion Over Committee Work. IN REVIEWING. INJUNCTIONS. Partial Victory for the Clubs in Their Fight Against the “Rat- tler Test.” The San Francisco Association of Im- provement Clubs met last eve..ing at B’nai B'rith Hall and discussed matters of par- ticular interest to the City. There was a large attendance, so that the meeting was a thoroughly representative one viewed from all districts. James D. Phelan pre- sided. C. D. Samuels reported for the law and legislative committee with regard to its work in preventing the sale of the Geary- | street franchise. He related how he and others had secured the injunctions which were served on the Supervisors last Mon- day stopping proceedings in the franchise | matter. He also madea complaint that he had not received all the assistance from the law and legislative committee that he | should have. In fact, he claimed that more assistance came from outside parties than from the eommittee. The report was received, and imme- diately Secretary I. Schwartz moved that A. P. Van Duzer and George R. Rankin be requested to resign from the commit- tee. This gaverise to a discussion that lasted & long time, and brought out strong opinions on both sides. A member pro- tested that it was a very harsh measure, even foolish, and at best showed poor judg- ment. John Rafferty differed from him and supported Schwartz. Dr. Salfield, as chairman of the committee, talked against the motion. “If any one was delinquent,”’ said he, ‘it was the committee on finance in fail- ing to collect funds for this purpose. Mr. | Van Duzer met with an accident and counld | not attend. Not one of these gentlemen | fell down. The legar papers were got out in time and referred to Mr. Samuels.” George R. Fletcher, chairman of the finance committee, took issue with Sal- field with regard to delinquency on the part of his committee, He had the neces- sary money when called upon to defray the legal expenses of the injunction pro- ceedings. A. B. Maguire insisted that everything had been done in the matter; the associa- tion should, therefore, be satisfied and the motion ought not to prevail. The secretary was asked to withdraw the motion. “I cannot possibly withdraw my mo- tion,” said Schwartz. ‘‘The matter would have gone by default if left to the com- mittee. ' There would have been no in- junctions.”” The motion was lost by a large negative vote. What appeared to be a reasonable and satisfactory explanation was made by Van Duzer after the association had stood by him, and the matter was such, so he said, that no apology was due the meeting from him. “I understand why this was done,” he added. ‘'L can see through the motion of Mr. Schwartz, but I've nothing to say to that. I'm sorry the motion was defeated.” With these covert remarks he took his seat and the motion was expunged from the minutes. For the committee on the rattler test for rock Van Duzer reported that through the committee’s efforts Richmond and the Sunset District were exempted from the test. He also zave itas his opinion that the amendatory order now before the Supervisors for a license on quarries was unconstitutional. The committee was given a vote of thanks. L. J. Dwyer called for a revort on the Pesthouse removal. Dr. Rottanzi re- ported from the committee on public buildings that he had seen the Mayor, but received no satisfaction. The report was received as progressive. The chair announced that I Schwartz and A. P. Van Duzer were appointed as delegates to the charter convention. The Fourth-street Improvement Club ir aletter stated that Messrs. Sullivan, Ladd, King, Nolan and Hammond had been elected delegates to the association. A vote of thanks to the Supervisors for appropriating money for the Mission High School was tendered. Dwyer moved that it was the sense of the association that a petition be pre- pared calling for the removal of the Pest- house. From the West of Castro Street Club a protest was promptly made and a request that the associated clubs would not advocate removal to the Aimshouse tract. *Don’t send a curse upon our district,” exclaimea a member of the Fairmount Club. “It is a growing district, though it suffers through neglect of the City Fathers. The Pesthouse would ruin it.” Salfield wanted the west of Van Ness avenue and Mission street reserved, and A. J. Fritz asked for a petition to the cerned. Yesterday Superintendent Dag- gett said that during the present month 750,000 standard silver dollars would be coined 1n addition to the usual subsidiary coinage. Mr. Daggett has just returned from a brief outing in the northern part of the State and seems to have been much bene- fited by his temporary escape from the daily grind of official auty. —————— Will Meet to Ratify. A grand Republican ratification meeting will be held at American Hall, corner of Pacific and Leavenworth streets, on Mon- day evening, August 10. It will be under the auspices of the Forty-second Assembly District McKinley Club. ————— To Meet W, H. Alford. Friday evening the Iroquois Club will receive Hon. W. H.

Sullivan, chair- man of the general committee of the Democratic party of San Francisco. ———— There are_seventy-two places called St. Etfenne in France, Supervisors that the hospital be not placed ou the Almshouse park. Van Duzer, Dwyer, G. L. Centa and Maguire claimed that it was unfair to make distinctions of districts. Maguire moved to lay on the table, which motion was carried. The following communication was re- ceived and referred to the transportation committee: ' To the Son Francisco Associated Improvement Clubs—GENTLEMEN: At a regular meeting of the West of Castro-street Improvement clubs on Friday evening, July 24, a resolution was passed requesting the San Francisco Associated Improvement Clubs, through its committee on street railways, to try to induce the Market. street Railway Company to issue transfers from its Sixteenth-street line to the cars of the Potrero and Bay View line and vice-versa, at least during the early morning hours, thus enabling the worxing classes to reach their destination in just the time it takes to go the roundabout way of Third street. The following was referred to the pub- lic utilities committee: To the President and Members of the San Fran- cisco Association of Improvement Clubs—GENTLE- MEN: We beg leave to report thatat the last regular meeting of the Western Addition Tm- provement Club, held at Coakley’s Hall, Geary street, near Central avenue, on the date last above written, a resolution was unanimously adopted and it was ordered that the same be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors in be- half of extending to the Board of Health the appropriation asked by said board for the pur- pose of aiding them in the carrying out of their good work for the sanitary condition of the City and its inhabitants. The cause for such action was governed by the following reasons, to wit: First—That the intended appropriation to be extended by the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors is less than that given twenty yearsago when the population and the populated area of the City were hardly more than half what it is to-day, s Second—That the appropriation extended is less in proportion for the purposes required than that of any other city in the United States of America of over 100,000 inhabitants. Taird—That the appropriation extended to insure the health of 340,000 citizens is less than what is paid annuadly to the janitors who care for and cleanse the new City Hall, Fourth—That the appropriation extended is & miserable and murderous economy. In a word, this beggarly appropriation sought to be given by the.Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors means disease, disgrace and wholesale murder. In view of the facts herein stated, we earn- estiy supplicate for the co-operation of The San Francisco Association of Improvement Clubs, and respectfully and sincerely ask for the undivided and individual support of each and every member in behalfof the just elaim and urgent appeal clearly made by the Board of Health for & larger allowance than that which is now being scheduled by the Finance Committee of the Board of Suvervisors, as we believe that such expenditure of public money is money expended 1n & right direction, and that the health of the people is paramount to all other issues, and should receive first con- sideration. JAMES BOWLAX, President, RICHARD 0. BLiss, Secretary. It was decided that the various com- mittees of the association must submit final reports at the next meeting, FRE I THE FARMOUAT Last Evening’s Blaze Caused a Damage of Ten Thousand Dollars. Prompt Action of the Fire Department Prevented a Poss.ble Con- flagration. The Fairmount Hotel, corner of Market and Fell streets, narrowly escaped destruc- tion by fire last evening. Owing to the prompt action of the Fire Department, however, the fire was checked after de- stroying the stocks of goods contained in three stores occupying the ground floor of the hotel building. At about 8 o'clock flames were seen among the furniture in Wilson & Co.'s storage-rooms. An alarm was sounded from box 76, but before the department arrived the flames had gained considerable neadway. The hotel rapidly filled with smoke and the guests gathered together such effects as were handy and hurried into the street. The heat and smoke of the burning fur- niture was suffocating, arnd for a time water seemed to have put little effect. Peyser's Emporium, 1706 market street, was soon in flames, but owing to the na- PROPERTY-OWNERS WAX WRATHY, Will Form an Association | to Resist the Board of Health. LAND-OWNERS TO JOIN.

The Chinese are now bearing the weight of another affliction. In fact, it is seldom that the Celestial back is free from a load of trouble. This time they have company. A few of their sympathetic white land- lords and associates are also in a peck of | trouble. The Board of Health seems to be the cause of it. That board believes that in the fumigation of Chinatown and the sum- mary tearing down of the worst of its dens of disease lies peace and health for San Francisco. What is more the board, seconded by Dr, Lovelace, has about worked itself up | to the acting point. All this, though the ‘ laying on of violent hands has not the | sanction of Chief of Police Crowley, Chief | of the Fire Department Sullivan, nor Dr. Fitzgibbon of the board. In order to offset this the white and Chinese owners of property in the region of the almond-eyed will form a protective association 50 soon as conditions show the need of one. This association will be organized to prevent the razing of the shanties unless | under proper condemnation proceedings, | and failing in that, to bring suit. All the | prominent Chinese merchants have signi- fied their intention of joining the associa- | tion, and say that if the police, the fire- | men or anybody else within hearing dis- | tance of the American eagle’s piercing | shriek attempts to tear down a single | shanty, there will be a row kicked up that | will add to the edification of nations and make somebody’s pocket part company with the legal coin of the country. | ‘When Sergeant Price made his locally famous raid on the highbinders about four years aco, demolished their property, insulted their divine-faced josses and ex- tinguished their burning punks with the | dated Junuary 27, 1892.

During the fire a hand-saichel disap- peared from the room of Mrs. K. Curtis, a guest at tue hotei. It contained a gold and silver wateh, a pursecontaining $30 in gold, passes for four to Portlana by steamer and a draft for $100. The loss was reported at the €entral Police Station. ————— Laurel Republicuns, The Laurel Republican Club will en- gineer a mass-meeting to be held in Coak- ley Hall, on Geary street, near Central avenue, on Tuesday evening, August 8.
