16 THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1896. . THOUSANDS FOR THE RAILROAD The Government Releases Its Claim on 60,000 Acres of Land. NO REASON ASSIGNED. The Southern Pacific Secures a Clear Title by Paying the Costs. DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S MISSION. He Holds a Long Conference With the Legal Lights of the Railroad. The eight cases of the people, otherwise the Government, against the Sounthern Pacific, filed March 2 last, to recover some 60,000 acres of valuable agricultural and timber land, have been settled. The railroad wins over half a million dollars in the deal, and that, too, by the mere expenditure of a few hundred dol- lars court fees and such other expenses as are incidental to litigations of the first magnitude. The suits in question were to have come up for trial before Juage McKenna during the present week. Yesterday District At- torney Foote received formal notice from Attorney-General Harmon to dismiss the several actions, provided the railroad would pay the costs incurred up to-date. The exact verbiage of the stipulation to release without prejudice was also sent. About 3 o’clock District Attorney Foote visited the headquarters of the Southern Pacificon Montgomery street. He went direct to the sixth floor and for more than an hour was closeted with the legal minds of that corporation. Just what the result of that conference was can only be sur- mised. It was given out, however, that the railroad accepted the conditionsim- posed. They parleved a while, as was to have been expected, but in the end grace fully acceded to the terms named by the Attorney-General. 1t is said that the action of the depart- ment at Washington in ordering the suits dismissed was due to the recommendation of District Attorney Foote. It is pre- sumed that he investigated the cases thoroughly, and finding the title of the railroad good informed the department. | In any event, whatever may have brought about the unexpected action of the Govern- ment, it is not at all likely the railroad will refuse the liberal offer made to it. Ou March 2 laet District Attorney Foote received a telegram from the Department of the Interior to begin suits azainst the Southern Pacific to recover 60,000 acres of land lying along the California and Ore- gon road, the Central Pacific and Western Pacific. They had just five days in which to file briefs and complaints containing full and accurate descriptions of the prop- erty claimed by the Governwment. By working night and day the task was ac- complished and the suits were filed ac- cording to instructions. All the papers made much of the litigation at the time, and people living in the sections directly interested were greatly rejoiced. The news, therefore, that the Govern- ment has summarily thrown up the fight will come like a thunderbolt to those mostly ‘interested, not including, of course, the Southern Pacific. The suits are down on the calendar for trial to-day and will be dismissed provided District Attorney Koote succeeded in his mission, otherwise a continuation will be asked for until later on in the session when they will be finally disposed of. ROBBED A ROOMER. Marie Morero of Sausalito Wanted for Grand Larceny. Manuel Morero, a fisherman living at Sausalito, and Antone S8eaman, who boarda in his house, called 1t police headquarters yesterday afternoon. They wanted Mo- rero’s daughter Marie arrested for stealing $235 out of S8eaman’s trunk and disappear- ing with it. They were told to call this morning and swear toa warrant for her arrest. “My daughter,” said Morero, “was di- vorced from ber husband and she and her child came to live with us. We all came to the City to-day to buy some furniture, leaving Marie and her child at home, When we returned Marie and her child had disappeared and Seaman’s trunk had been broken open and the money stolen. I have seven children and cannot pay back the money.”’ CORNELIUS KING'S FORTUNE. A Jury in Judge Coffey’s Court to De- cide to Whom it Belongs. The controversy over the property of Cornelius King, the eccentric Mission cooper, known during his lifetime as “Barrel”’ King, was on in Judee Coffey’s court yesterday. King amassed a fortune of over $240,000, money in bank, all of which he leit by will to his two nephews, Daniel and James King, sons of a de- ceased brother. Other nephews, nieces and other relatives have come to the front since the old man's death and are trying to break the will, alleging the testator to have been insane. King died in an asylum, but the will was made four years before he was sent there. All of yesterday was consumed in ob- taining & jury. .

FOR GOOD ROADS ONLY, Three Delegates to Be Chosen From Each Club in the City. WILL DECIDE ON A CAMPAIGN An Informal Talk Held Last Night, During Which Many Ideas Were Advanced. Prominent representatives of the leading bicycle clubs of this City met last evening at the Imperial Cycling Club house on Van Ness avenue to discuss the question of wheelmen launching into the political arena with the single object of gettiig well-naved and well-lighted thoroughfares. Although last night’s was in some re- spects an informal meeting, it is consid- ered of profound importance, inasmuch as it is the first movement toward a new and well organized political power, the lever of which may do much in determining who shall next fill the municipal offices. The members present were: H. F. Wynn, vice-consul L. A. W.; J. 8 Cor- well, Edwin Mohrig and R. C. Lenny, of the Cycle Board of Trade; R. L. Radke, president, W. L. Maule, vice-president, and J. L. Barrow, cn{;&ain, of the Imperial Cycling Club; John Buckley of the Union Iron Works; Captain F. B.” Robins, Presi- dent C. Micnner, of the California Cycling Club; H. C. Franks, captain of the Ein- tracht Cycling Club; Charles Albert Ad- ams, president, and W. B. Fawcett, ca tain, of the Olympic Club Wheelmen; W. 1. Pixley, captain, and Sol Piser of the San Francisco Road Club, and Captain W. J. Black of the Golden Gate Cycling Club. The meeting was called by the Imperial Cycling Club and was presided over hy Edwin Mohrig, who stated that the meet- ing had been called in order to ascertain the proper steps to be taken toward a complete organization. As a preliminary move C. Michner pre- sented the foliowing resolution, which was adopted: It is the sense of this preliminar: that each wheeiing club be invited i?&‘l’l'c‘- three delefmeu o constitute a central body which shall devise waysand means and perfect plans looking to the part which shall be taken y the wheeimen of this City in the coming municipal election. R. L. Radke believed that prompt ac- tion should be taken, and suggested that the meeting or convention mentioned in the above resolution shouid take place on Wednesday, August 1. This was so de- cided, the place to be the parlors of the Imperial Cycling Club. The Secretary, W. B. Fawcett, was in- structed to send notices to all the clubs to this effect. . F. Wgnn said that not only the clubs should be impressed with the im- portance of this movement, but also the vast body of wheelmen at large. “‘We must,” he said, ‘‘feel that this means work, We must be careful that we are not merely used by politicians. If this proves a.success it means a great deal to the wheelmen and to the good of this City.” He said that good, clean substantial men must be chosen for office, and that when such a candidate was found he de- served the wheelmen’s undivided vote. Mr. Michner was of the opinion that the serious question was the securing of the unattached wheelmen’s aid. Mr. Lenny suggested that certain places on the ticker should be asked for and the remainder of the ticket pledged. Mr. Pixley said the voting of the wheel- men this year would be unusually large. They would, he said, have no particular love for any one candidate, but would pledge their vote to the man out for good streets. Mr. Conwell thought the wheelmen would be strong enough to demand their wants. He also advocated that the wheel- men vote solid for the new charter, as that would prove the surest means to their end —good streets. = John Buckley of the Union Iron Works said that the 300 wheelmen of that plant would join heart and soul with the clubs in any political fight for good streets. He was appointed as a delegate and was given ower to select two more from among his ellow-workers. NO MORE DISCOUNTS., Retail Dry Goods Merchants Will Give No More Commissions. The retail dry goods merchants of this City have for some time past been suffer- ing from the system of giving discounts to purchasers who were not entitled to the same. This principle of giving discounts does not prevail in any other city, and in order to effectually protect themseles against abuse arsing from this practice the retail dry goods merchants of this City have now resolved to discontinue al- together giving discounts or commissions. %hey claim that this will enable them to sell to their customers at lower uniform rices and thus do full justice to their legitimate customers as well as them- selves. The following prominent dry goods firms of this City have voluntarily agreed upon this course, and the agree- ment_ will take effect from and after the 15th day of this month: G. Verdier & Co.; Raphael Weill & Co. : Kohlberg, Strauss & Frohmann; Doane & Henshelwood; New- man & Levinson; The Hamburger Com- any; Paracon Cloak and Suit Company; Michels & Wand ; D. Samuels; J. J. O'Brien & Co.; L. Magnin & Co.; Davis, Schonwas- ser & Co.; O’Connor, Moffatt & Co., and R. T. Kennedy Company. ——————————— PROGRESSIVE POTRERO. No Stagnation in the Advancement of the South Side. If the cutting down of hills, removing of rocks and filling in ravines, making of streets and sidewalks, building houses, and, in fact, transforming an entire sec- tion of the southern portion of the City, be a sign of improvement, then the Potrero is right in the van of progress. Among those who have lately added im- provements to their property are Cornelius Jacobsen, who has finished a neat three- story flat on Twenty-second street, be- tween Tennessee and Minnesota, The residence of Ernest Johanson and Fred Schulz, which had recently been de- stroyed by fire, has been rebuilt and will be occupied in the course of a few weeks. The property-owners on the westerly line of Indiana street are raising their houses to conform to the street erade es- tablished on that line. On the eastern line of Connecticut street, south of Twentieth, is a handsome two- story building, almost finished, which will also be occupied by its owner, adding one more family to the increasing number of the southern heights. ———— Except in the Ottoman empire, Persia, Arabis, Siam, China and the interior of Alfrican countries slavery is now extinct. l...! WARRIORS N SILVERS CAUSE Have Been Secretly Organ- izing for Several Years Past. WAGE-EARNERS UNITE. Are Ready to Take Up Arms in Behalf of the White Metal. IN OPPOSITION TO TRUSTS. Their Membership Said to Be Eight Hundred Thousand Strong in the West, For several years past secret, persistent and apparently successful efforts have been made throughout the United States to unite the wage-earners of the country under one banner to do battle for free silver ana to wage war against the power of monopolies. This secret organization is known as the Freeman’s Protective Silver Federation west of the Missouri and as the Videttes east of that river. The two bodies are dis- tinct in their organization and are per- Iectly independent of one anotber, but are prepared to co-operate to the fullest ex- tent, their objects being identical and their methods also. It isclaimed that the Western federation is now 800,000 strong and is growing more rapidly in membership than ever before in its history, and the Eastern allied body is 8aid to be even more powerful. For the past two months W. S. Lair has been in_ the local field establishing new companies, as the subordinate bodies of the federation are called, and aiding to in- crease the membership of the old com- panies. The local membership is reported to be in excess of 500. Although the constitution and by-laws of the institution are printed they are held in the strictestsecrecy, and the mem- bers of the organization are not supposed to be known as such to any one outside of the inner circle. 3 Its organization is on the military plan, and a significant article of ite constitution, which intimates that the members are prepared to even take up arms in support of their cause, reads as follows: The military part of this organization is not in force, except and only at such times as we may be called upon to act as & military body. The preamble of the constitution begins with a declaration of rights couched in the following language: We hold that these truths are seif-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator witn certain inalien- able rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The preamble further declares: ‘We believe that labor is the true basis and foundation of all wealth, and that money is only & medium of exchange by which all labor 1ts productions are p: ased. ‘We also believe that the wealth of the world has become concentrated in the hands of a few monopolists who neither labor nor frodnca; thet labor, although the basis of all wealth, has been s0 degraded and hedged about by favoritism as to be found only by a very few, and then at starvation wages. We believe it to be an elomentary truth that our forefathers, the organizersiof this Republic, made it a fundamenial principle that both gold and silyer should be used as money of our country, and we further believe that Congress has committed a great wrong by demonetizing silver, thereby leaving the money in circula- tion entirely inadequate for transacting the business of the country. Furthermore, as the amount of gold is insufficient to pay ‘our foreign creditors, we are virtually a bankrupt nation, with our laboring classes reduced to a condit{on equal to or worse than the peasants and seris of the gold countries. Therefore we denounce this conspiracy and demand an 1ncrease in our medium of ex- change by the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and the issuance of & paper currency, which shall be & full legal tender for ail debts and dues, both public and private, paid direct to the people in discharging government obligations, such as salaries, pensions, Government im- provements, ete. We demand an initiative and referendum law such as is now in force in Switzerland, or of some similar form. In the constitution it is provided that: Each State shall be known as a department. The grand councils shall be composed of the commanding-zeneral of each department and his staff, and the captain of each company and two elected delegates. The supreme council shall be composed of the commanding-general and staff and the fol- lowing delegates from each department: The major-general commanding the department, the brigadier-generals and field officers and two delegates at large. This is the gledge of mecrecy that all members are obliged to take: As it is necessary to_organize our campaign against the monopolies and trusts of the world, and relying upon the staunchness and Sveazitr ol the-havsherc of the federation, we agree to bind ourselves by a solemn obligation mever to reveal any of the secrets or plans of this organization or any of the members thereof. 1t is provided under the by-laws that: Any person of good moral character who has attained the age of 18 years, having renounced all allegiance to both the old political parties and agrees to become a supporter of the prinei- les of (his federation to the utmost of his or er ability, shall be elhigible to membership herein, with the exceptions herein provided. Among the proscribed are: Any person interested in the National bank- ing business, as stockholder or officer; any lawyer practicing law, unless where satisfac- tory evidence is adduced to show that the in- dividual is thoroughly in harmony with and interested in the promulgation of the princi- ples of this order. Not only is an organizer at work in this City, but agents are busy throughout the State and coast, and they are reported to be making jmany enlistments to this polit- ico-militant organization. B. N. Carrier. of S8pokane, Wash., is the greaent commander-general, and George . Weaver of the same city is the adju- tant-general. THE CHARTER CONVENTION. All Large Organizations in This City 'Will Be Represented. Official communications have been re- ceived by the Merchants’ Association from the following additional associations, announcing the appointment of their dele- gates to the Charter convention, to be held to-morrow night. The French Na- tional League has appointed E. Meyer and A. Freling. Court Diana of the Inde- pendent Order of Foresters has appointed J. B. Knudsen and J. W. Coleman. The Waverly Cycling Club® has appointed P. Allen Joy and Sidney W. Elston. The Verein Eintracht has appointed Captain F. A. Kuhls and Arnold Enzmann. The Harmonie Verem has sent George Volz | and A. Rehm as its two delegates. Accompanying these communications were words of encouragement to the work of the convention. The letter from the Order of Foresters stated that “the order of which we are members is strictly out of politics, but loves good government.”” Fifty-four organizations have now been heard from, making the number of regu- tes so far announced 108. The ors of the City—Frank McCop- pin, William Alvord, M. C. Blake, Edward lB_.lPondA and L. R. Ellert—who are now living will be delegates at large to the convention. The following Freeholders who are not already regular members of the convention will be delegates at large: Joseph Britton, George T. Marye, J. A. Anderson, Colin M. Boivd, Henry N. Clement, J. J. O’Brien, Irving M. Scott, Louis Sloss Jr. and G. H. Umbsen. These regular delegates and delegates at large together with the directors of the Mer- chants’ Association will make the conven- tion so far number 135. Many more dele- gates have been promised as soon as the organizations hold their meetings. ————— MARSICANO’S SALT. Still Being Evaporated for the Savoring of Food. Patricio Marsicano makes the following statement with reference to the attach- ment and execution on the American Salt Company for $11,830: Mr. Marsicano has, in addition to otherlarge JEopexty interests for thirty years, alone and n severalty, individually and absolutely large and extensive salt works near Mount Eden, in Alameda County, upon which he has been pro- ducing large quantities of salt. In the year 1885 a_corporation was formed under the name of the American Salt Company, to which Mr. Marsicano zgreed to sell his salt at ceriain figures, the corporation to dispose of it in the San Francisco market. The business of the corporation was & profitable one for many years. About two years ago Mr. Marsicano con- cluded to deal directly with the San Francisco market, instead of selling to the American Salt Company. Amicable seiilement was made be- tween the parties interested, when it was as- certained that the corporation owed Mr. Mar- sicano a balance of $11,800 or thereabout. An arrangement was the consequence, by which Mr. Marsicano released all the other stock- holders from personal liability, attached the funds of the corporation in bank, took a judg- ment against the corporation and, by agree- ment with the s-mes. carried on the business himself individuelly under the name of the American Salt Company, all the assets of the corporation having been transferred to him, 0d he is now doing business under thatname, and intends so to do in the future, A few days ago Mr. Marsicano caused an ex- ecution to issue upon this old judgment in his own favor, for the purpose of levying upon some additional property of the old American Salt Company that had not come to his hands. —————— Near the Caspian Sea there are several “eternal fires,” so called by, the natives, where mturaf gas issues from the ground and has been on fire for ages.
