16 THE NOMNATION 5 QUESTONE Evidence of Forgery Dis-| covered in the Fifth District. W. C. HANLY’S PROXY. Two Men Who Claim to Hold That Most Important Document. THOMAS J. WALSH'S STORY. James H. Barry’s Friends Will Make a Fight Against His Congres- sional Rival. Trouble is brewing in the Fifth Congres- | sional District over the nomination by the | Democratic convention of Joseph P. Kelly for Congress, and the embroglio promises man named Wilson arose in the rear of the hall and claimed that he held the only genuine proxy of W. C. Hanly and that all others must be forzeries. He produced a typewritten proxy, pur- porting to have been signed by Hanly, and the two proxies were taken by the leaders of the convention into an execu- tive session that was immediately held. The proxy held by Wilson was declared to be the genuine one 1n spite of the ob- jections of the Barry people, and Kelly was nominated by a vote of 49, the lowest number that could haveaccomplished that object. ’%he friends of Barry believed that Kelly had been nominated by anderhand means and searched high and low for evidence. Their efforts were unavailing until yester- day, when W. . Hanly was interviewed by a representative of the Barry faction. He declared unequivocally that he had given a proxy to no one but Walsh and- that his representative had been instructed to vote for Barry and no one else. Furthermore, be declared that at the time he was claimed to have been with Wilson and to have signed the second proxy he was at home and in bed and that he could prove it by a number of witnesses. Immediately on receiving this informa- tion the attention of the executive com- mittee of the convention, of which Eugene Deuprey is the chairman, was called to the matter, and he and Max Popper started on a tour of investigation, Up to a late hour last evening no report had been ren- dered by the investigators, but Barry’s friends had decided on one thing—a de- termined fight against Kelly. An attempt will be made to prove that Kelly’s friends used frandulent means to gain his nomination and that the same is voia. If this is snccessful Barry will still be in the fight. If Kelly cannot be taken off the ticket Barry’s friends will combine against Kelly anyway and try to prevent his election. Whichever way the cat jumps the prom- ise of a big split in the Democracy of the Fifth District is assured and a lively fight will be the result. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1896. MODERN BUILDING FOR SOUTH PARK, A Beautiful Design in Span- ish Style of Archi- tecture. STORES AND TENEMENTS Modern Features in Plumbing, Light and Finish In- troduced. TENANTS READILY RESPOND. James D. Phelan the Builder and William Curlett the Architect. In the early times of San Francisco, South Park was the center of culture and refinement—the home of the rich and the pride of the ar istocrats. In the develop- | tion of catering to the public taste in Plif" companies and prices. essrs. Belasco & Doane intend to produce society comedies and dramas by the best authors, in fact, a whole round, according to their assertion, of the best dramatic works, both musical and literary of the present decade. The opening will be announced later and will probably be in the first week of September. In the meantime the theater will be put in the hands of :Fainwrs, decorators and scenic artists. The pro- ductions will be under the management of Mr. Belasco, who has held a long connec- tion with the Charles Frohman company and with the “Heart of Maryland”’ and who was stage manager of the Grand Opera- house of this City during Frederick Burt’s management. Miss Amy Lee has been secured for the position of comedienne. Miss Lee has been connected for years with Harrigan and other prominent companies. A strong opening play has been secured, the name of which the management will not divulge. ‘““Every effort,” said Hr. Doane, “will be made to place the Alcazar where it be- longs. We are not swine. We do not want it all; we simply desire to have our theater classed as one of the best in town. Every week there will be a change of tal- ent, and we hope that our years of experi- ence in the histrionic profession will be productive in adding another important factor to San Francisco's amusement places. “The Alcazar is a closer counterpart to the Casino in New York than any play- house I have ever played in. We have the plant here and we intend to give the people of this City something that they will con- sider worth their money.” ————————— Sued for Damages. Alfred Emery, who, on July 26 last, was ar- rested on acharge of petty larceny, preferred by the proprietors of the Golden West Hotel, has sued Fred P. Plageman et al for $5250 damages for alleged malicious prosecution. hal sy | I T L LY il ; ’ il 2 g (B (T2 J = }" Wi < . NOT A LEPER DUMPING GROUND. San Francisco Won't Take Refugees From Other Counties. MENDOCINO MUST PAY. Responsible for the Support of Lena Grimm in the Pesthouse. SHE MAY YET BE SENT HOME. The Board of Health Will Take a Stand Against Unlcading Lepers in This City. A rather nice question has come up for settlement between Mendocino County and the City and County of S8an Francisco over the case of Lena Grimm, the little Drawing in Perspective of a Modern Building in Spanish Style of Architecture to Be Erected at the Southeast Gorner of Third Street and South Park by dames D. Phelan;_From Designs of Architect William Gurlett, to be of the most bitter kind before elec- | tion day arrives and the voters are ready to cast their ballots. Kelly was only nom- inated after a redhot fight against James H. Barry,in which the strength of both candidates was brought out to its fullest extent. Now Barry’s friends claim that the nomination was obtained by fraudulen means and that Kelly’s name will not appear on the ticket when election day comes. They claim that had the conven- tion been carried on in the proper manner Barry would have been nominated and that the man who apparentiy received the approbation of the delegates only received the nomination through a forged proxy. Previous to the convention there wasa great scurrying around among the friends of the two candidates, Barry and Kelly, for the proxies of those who would not be able or were unwilling to attend. Among the former was W. C. Hanly, a haidware man, who was prevented from taking a part in the proceedings of the convention by business that took him out of town. Previous to leaving he gave a written proxy to Thomas J. Walsh, a clerk in the White House, and instructed him to cast the vote for James H. Barry, should the editor be placed in nomination, under gtner circumstances to vote as he deemed est. When the vote was being taken at the district ccnvention Walsh voted Hanly’s proxy for Barry, but the vote was immedi- ately challenged by Kelly’s friends, and a NEW TO-DAY.

Bullock, Al Stetson’s Asso- ciate, Returns From Arizona. Expected a Business 'Telegram and Received News of the Suicide Instead. T. 8. Bullock, the raiiroad operator and builder associated with the late Al Stet- son 1n their prospective Yosemite line, returned to the Palace yesterday from Arizona, whither he went a few days be- fore the suicide occurred. “Ileft here on Monday,” said Mr. Bul- lock. “Mr. Stetson and I parted the best of friends. He came down to see me off. We had made a proposition to the Yosem- ite people. Stetson was to telegraph me their answer. The first word I received after that was that Stetson had committed suicide on the Friday following. ‘‘That there was any disappointment in regard to my part in the proposition is entirely untrue. Istand ready yet. Iam still willing to build the Yosemite road. My offer is open. I think that Stetson must have talked with Miss Amy Head about that Yosemite road, otherwise she would not have been able to say anything about it. “1 came out here first from New York in connection with that railroad from Stockton to the mother lode. Then I got into this Yosemite proposition. Those are two independent propositions. Istand ready now to carrv qut one or both of them according to my original terms,” ——————— HE FOUND REST, NOT WORK Jesse C. Fruchey Commits Suicide by Inhaling Illuminating Gas. Jesse C. Fruchey, a native of Ohio, 69 years of age, and a salesman by occupa- tion, committed suicide in his room, 418 Minna sireet, yesterday afternoon by in- haling illuminating gas. The body was discovered last evening at 7 o’clock by Sarah J. Fruchey, widow of deceased, upon her return home after an absence of several hours. Fruchey had not seen much of life’s eunny side. For years he had been strug- gling against an incurable disease. Fruchey had takén no chances. With an old newspaper he had_ stuffed every chink and crevice of the door and win- dow, turned on the gas und laid down to die. Theold salesman had looked over the field nngi decidgd that the chances were against him, an . rntlons‘for death. Sply msteren Yesterday morning he visited the paint- store of G.

His old em- or distressing reaction, Askfor Fred Brown’s, Sold everywhere, FRED BROWN 00., PHILADELPHIA. plf\)jet had told him not unkindly that he could not take him back as he was not strong enough to work. Fruchey knew what that meant—there was no hope for him. He went home, and in a well- worded letter to his wife told her that he would ‘‘take the short cut across lots,” and he did, ——————— Petition in Insolvency. John A. Roberts has filed a petition in in- solvency. He owes $322, and has no assets. Roberts was a dealer in electrical trimmings. ' ment of the metropolis, the home-builders who were favored with great riches sought the hills and thereon built mansions, Still South Park retained its pride and much of its exclusive luster. It seems now that some of its lost prestige is to be restored, although at the cost of modern innovation. James D. Phelan has decided to build at the southeast corner of South Park and Third street a three-story structure, fash- joned in the style of Spanish architec- ture. The land on which tne edifice is to be erected has a frontage of 137 feet on .{ Third street and a depth of 45 feet on South Park. On the first floor there will be six stores facing Third street. On the floors above there will be eight flats or tenements— four in the second and four in the third story. % The flats will be modern to the very date, containing the latest wrinkles in sanitary plumbing, the best facilities for bathing and the regulation convenience for supplying gas and electricity. The duty of designing the structure de- volved upon the architect William Cur- lett, and the sketch here presented was drawn from _his plans by a CALL artist. When Mr. Phelan was first taken with the fancy of erecting the building at South Park he deemed it best to have in- quiry made as to pmspecd‘f tenants. When the architect’s plans were un- folded the demand for flats and stores was instant, and so without turther hesitation the decision was made to a ward contracts and go right ahead with construction. The building will present several fea- tures very agreeable to the eye. The gitched roof, in Spanish style, of the South ark elevation, and the angle and center bay-windows, together with the wrought- iron balconies, add to the beauty of the extension. The material of the structure above the foundation is to be wood, but it will be finished to resemble brick and stone plastering. South Park, as a pleasure ground, has been incorporated in the system of munici- pal parks, and its maintenance is no longer a charge on the property-ownersin that immediate locality. WILL AWAKE ONCE MORE The Alcazar to Open Again Under New and Energetic Management. The Managers Determined to Make It Rank First as a Place of Amusement. The Alcazar Theater, that has been sleeping and full of shadows since ‘the latter part of June, will soon awaken into light and life. Since Manager Grover's assignment there has been a blank place on O'Farreil street between Stockton and Powell. Hereafter the old Alcazar will be itself again. It has been leased and will be managed by Frederick Belasco, brother of Dave Belasco of Leslie Carter fame, Frank Doane, the well-known and popular East- ern comedian, and J. B. Jordan, a business man whose reputation extends from British Columbia to 8an Diego. The new managers express their inten- P, B. CORNWALL COMING The Electric Light Magnate Ex- pected to Arrive Early Next Week. Registration Cases Will Be Taken Up by the Grand Jury To-Day. P. B. Cornwall has been detained by business engagements north and will not be present at the Grand Jury session to- day. The information comes that he will be in San Francisco by Tuesday or ‘Wednesday of next week. The Grand Jury will this afternoon take up three cases of illegal registration re- ported by Registrar Hinton. Other cases of a similar character may be developed as the examination of the registration list progresses. Several important committee reports may be presented to the foreman of the Jury at the session W-dli. An elaborate report is being prepared, but that does not signify an immediate adjournment. There seems to be a perfect understanding be- tween the Jury and Judge Slack, and so it seems to be settled that the Grand Jury will not adjourn until the accusation against the seven Supervisors shall be heard. : The case against the Suvervisors is on the calendar for hearing August 11. As the record now stands the Grand Jury in oven court presented to the District Attorney an accusation against seven of the Super- yisors. District Attorney Barnes is now in the country enjoying the fishing on Stevens Creek, back of Mountain View. He wiil be in town on August 11 to pre- sent the case to the court, but it seems probable that the Supervisors will not be there in person. Four of the seven have already left the City for a long vacation. At the session of the Grand Jury to-day Mr. Hosmer, the first assistant” in Mr. Barnes’ office, will perform the functions ot District Attorney. WOMEN IN PRECINCTS. Suffragists Have Now Over Fifty Clubs in the City, With Others in Process of Formation. The precinct elub work of the Woman Suffragists is now fairly under way. In fifty ed})l‘eeincu clubs have been estab- lish inud others are in process of forma- tion. In order that the heads of these numerous organizations may compare notes for their mutual advantage a meet- ing of the organizers will be held at the oman Suffrage Bureau next Wednesday afternoon. The maadn& is to take the form of a conference, and various metheds of work will be compared. 5 Each lady organizer will be asked for a condensed report of her work and a chance is to be given to all for a free exposition of their views as to the most efficient mode :j(“ gmnx on the campaign in the pre- REMEMBER that Colonel Andrews of the Dia- mond Palace, 221 Montgomery street, is still selling his fine stock of solid sterling silver at 95¢ per ounce, 30¢ ounce less than an: house in the ch!‘. onds, watches an Lo'elrv in % proportion to close out his stock, as e is positively retiring from business. . leper, now an inmate of the Pesthouse, out on Twenty-sixth street. The health authorities claim that a pri; ciple is involved in the matter which calls for immediate settlement. It is this—if San Francisco must receive leper patients from all parts of California and support them for an indefinite period, without ever receiving assistance from the county whence «he afflicted one comes. In addi- tion to this point, the present question suggests again the proposition to estab- lish a State lazaretto for the care and maintenance of lepers, as offered by phy- sicians and local improvement clubs. This, however, in the Grimm case is a sec- ondary consideration. “The point directly involved is wnether a leper from Mendocino County must be an expense tc San Francisco County. As in the case of Lena’s voung brother, who was recently sent to the City and County Hospital, but escaped and was then re- turned to Mendocino County, this aispute may end in the transfer of the afflicted girl to her former home at Ukiah, or at least to the Mendocino County infirmary. About three weeks.ago Lena was de- clared by the Mendocino physician to be a leper, with the result that she was hur- ried out of the county just as fast as the o fficials could provide her with transpor- tation to San Francisco. Her father has a smeall ranch a few miles from Ukiah, and he lived there for about three years. 8o he was a citizen of the county and a taxpayer there. When it was discovered that his young daughter was stricken with the horrible disease of leprosy she was shunned. 5 The county health officials were in sore straits. They did not know what to do .with her. There was no provision for such ag she in the whole county, nor could they imagine for a while how to dispose of the girl. In this extremity they sent her to this city. The girl’s father accompanied her, and they went direct to the Pesthouse. Lena was in a wretched condition, almost naked for want of a few articles of clothing, and greatly emaciated. Her condition, so the doctors said, denoted neglect and an ab- sence of nourishment. Ske was taken in and given a room in the leper hospital, and then some charitable ladies sent her bundles of warm clothing. Seeing that she would be an expense to the City and County perhaps for years to come, Dr. A. P. O'Brien, the City Physi- cian, addressed a communication to the Board of Health setting forth the facts of the case and suggesting that Mendocino County should pay for the girl's mainten- ance at the Pesthouse. The Board of Health has tuken up the matter, and will notify the Supervisors of Mendocino that they will be required to snpport the girl. It is thus proposed to establish a precedent and let the counties understand that San Francisco shall not be used as a refuge or a dumping ground for lepers. i % I think,”” said Dr. O’Brien, “that Men- docino should pay for her support and at- tendance.” It Mendocino should refuse to pay?"” “We would have to ship ber back to TUkiah. She could go to the County In- firmary there. The State has no funds to devote to such cases.” NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. EXTRAORDINARY REDUCTIONS Force Them TO Out To-Day! Our GREAT CLEARING.
