16 THE SA AN OPEN LETTER IN:REPLY TO OF “THE MONITOR.” Rev. Peter C. Yorke—DEAR SIR: In my first letter to you I said: “If after reading thislet- ter you do not feel fully satisfied with the facts herein given, I shall be most happy to respond to any questions or to furnish any oral or documentary corroborative evidence which you may think wise to request.” ) In response to this, and aiter having read my letter, you saw fit to address me an open letter, which I published in full in THE CALL of Thursdsy morning. Your letter is now be- fore me, and I note therein seven questions which you have asked me to answer more fully than I did in my former letter. Your first question is this: 3 Is it true after Marshall had made this cor- rupt proposition, namely that Hudelson and ihe other leaders of the A. P. A, would sell out ihe order for $50,000, more or less—is it true that you then referred said Marshall to John D. Spreckels, the local leader of the Republican party? My answer is that Marshall called upon e and made statements regarding his power in the order and the intention of himself and others whose names Igave in my first letter to use their influence in the order for their selfish purposes. He requested of me a letter to Mr. Spreckels, that he might be received by that | gentleman and thereby enabled to present nis plans and purposes. 1declined to give him etter. 1 did not refer said Marshall to Mr. Spreckels with any corrupt proposition or any position; but I did say that if he had polit- ical matters which he desired to discuss with Mr. Spreckels he would find him at his office on Market street. Answering your second question: 1. acramento Rep iaction, headed by the on, oo-operated with ontrolled the conven- Is it true tha Convention the 2 Rev. Benjamin Hu onn D. Spreckeis and ¢ ion? I was not at Sacramento at the meeting of the Republican State Convention. I therefore can only answer on the testimony of othe: have, however, made diligent inquiry of Mr. Spreckels and of other gentlemen who were at the convention, and who were in a position to know, and I am sssured and speak with au- thority when I say that Mr. Spreckels entered into no combination with B. F. Hudelson at Saeramento, nor did he before the meeting at Sacramento, nor has he since entered into sueh & combination or understanding. Mr. Spreckels has already made & similar denial of this over his own signature. Question No. 3. the P L Is it true that this co-operation was the re- sult of & combination between the Rev.Ben- jamin Hudelson and John D.Spreckels by which, as proposed by Mershallin January, | the Rev. Benjamin Hudelson agreed to throw the solid A. P. A. vote to the side of Jobn D. | Spreckels? 4s1 said above in answer to question No. 2 1 know of no such combination and I am | sssured that there wss no such arrangement made, and I now affirm from my knowledge end belief that there was mo arrangement, | combinstion or understanding entered into at | Sscramento &s the result of any agreement | made between Marshall, Hudelson or any other member of the American Protective Association with John D. Spreckels. Iknow of no testimony that would sustain this charge, but if there are those so low as to make these charges I can reply that they have perjured themselves and do perjure themselves when they make such statements, Answering your question No. 4: Iv. Was 1t not the threat to publish Firsi—The combination between the Rev Benjamin Hudelson and others to sell the A.P. A, and Second—The subsequent corrupt proposition made to you by Marshail in the January of this not'the threat to publish these facts caused the stealing of the documents coniaining the expose on the 10th of April and the loss of Marshall's front teeth four days | later? Asto the stealing of Marshall's affidavit, I am of the opinion that G. W. Owens could best testify @s to the motives which induced him to take the affidavit from the hand of one Wood- worth. 1 was assured by Woodworth that Owens did so take the afidavit, and gave it to | M. T. Brewer. Ican answer the remeinder of question No. 4 by saying that it was not any threat on the part of Marshall to publish the affidavit that caused the loss of his front teeth. The full ex- planation of that matter Mr. Spreckels and myself will be called upon to make before the court in the case now pending. Question No. 5: V. Can you explain the fact that though you knew that the Rev. Benjamin Hudelson anl Henry F proposition to sell out the A. P. A. you permitted the said Rev. Benjamin F. tative of the anti-Catholic side of tne roversy and that you retained Henry F. hall, who sdmitted to you that he was & upt politician, in your employ until after episode of the front ieeth in the following April? THE CALL did admit articles signed by B.F. Huaelson relstive to the great religious con- | troversy in which you took such a conspicu- | ous part; but THE CaLL did not indorse the truth of any statements made by B. F. Hudel- so, nor did it indorse him personally or oth- erwise. H.F. Marshall was not employed by me after his blackmailing scheme had been folly developed. 1 desire to restate now that Marshail was not at tha’ time £ member of the regular staff of THE CALL; but was employed st 0odd times in special detail matter, and never even in this capacity after his charac- ter was fully understood by me. Question No. 6: VL Do you consider that the Rev. Benjamin F. NEW TO-DAY. S Fred Brown’s Jamaica 2 Ginger stands to-day as 2 itdid 75 years ago, the standard preparation of = pure Jamaica Ginger—a rem- iability. So great has been = its success that hundreds of imitations are made to-day := and foisted upon the public as “Brown’s Ginger.” These should be strenuously avoid- ed. A simple means of get- = = ting the genuine is to ask for FRED Brown’s Jamaica Ginger, and see that the red label is on the wrap- per with this trade- F. Marshail were engaged in this cor- | s Hudelson to anpear in your columns as a rep- | THE EDITOR Hudelson 1s & reputable citizen and a credit- able witness? 1 desire to say most distinctly that I have never produced B.F. Hudelson as & witness of mine. Ido not know the distinguished gen- tleman by sight even. I never had one word’s conversation with him 1n my life. I never re- ceived a letter from him, and never sent him word or letter. I do not desire now to pre- sent him asa witness. I am much grieved, | from the general reputation which he bears in this community, to have him presented by good men as & witness against me. Question No. 7: VIL | It you think that the said Benjamin F. Hudelson is worthy of credit, what have you to say to his expianation that he wrote the tin- type letter under the conviction that you would appoint Marshall to be a sDy upon the | doings of Catholic Iadies? Idonot think B. F. Huaelson worthy of credit, if he makes any such statements or draws any such conclusions. I might make | this broader by saying that I do not think any human being worthy of eredit who would | make the charge that I had appointea Mar- | shall or would appoint Marshall toact as & | spy over any Catholic or other institutions in this or any other State. The proposition issim- ply monstrous. It could never emanate, save from a man wholly corrupt and unworthy of belief. It could not be proven by any testi- mony, however vile or damnable. Such & proposition was never presented to me in any form, either by Hudelson or any one else; and in all probability Hudelson well understands that fact. Finally, therefore, whatever he | might say regarding this matter that would connect me in any wise with the doings of himself or those with whom he was associated Ipronounce it to be absolutdly and mesnly | false. i Referring to the fact that I addressed you as [“\uurs for political and religious freedom,” { | | yousay “It is sad, indeed, that these senti- ments have been so long concealed.” I have to say that, so far as I am concerned, my senti- ments on this subject have never been con- cesled. From my earliest youth all who have known me have known that I stood for the broadest freedom of every man to worship God according to the dictates of his conscience, | and answerable to no man, institution or gov- | ernment. I have heretofore publicly declared | these things: | Iam a free-born American citizen. My rights | to religious liberty are guaranteed to me in the | constitution. Theright to think, the right to | believe also as I may, comes from a higher source. No man or set of men have the right, nor | should they have the power, to enslave my mind, any more then they should have the | Dower to place shackles upon my body. 1 stand for religious liberty. | Igrant to every human being liberty of mind and conscience. Every men should have the right to build | his own church, or no church. He must be | permitted to worship God as suits him best. | "So far asIam concerned I freely grant him | that freedom, that liberty. 1do not fear bigots. 1am notso anxious to get on in this world as to offer for coin my religious opinions or my freedom to think on all subjects just as it snits my purpose best. be plain and to conclude: Iam not s slave; I am a free man. I will use my freedom on religious matters at all times to please myself. Iamnotacrank. Iam not & bigot. I de- | spise bigots. Ipitya crank. I demand free- dom—ireedom for all. Freedom for the Catho- lic, freedom for the Jew, the Methodist and the Baptist. Freedom is sunlight. Iturn my face to the sunlight. Ilisten to the voice of truth. Ihate bigotry. I loath slavery. Upon these lines I shall move steadily for- ward and fear not. I cannot think of giving | up my freedom, my liberty. I am willing to grant to all others absolute freedom to worship | God as they may, and as for myseli I demand, and God granting me power I will exercise, the same precious privilege which, with all my heart, I freely accord to others. CHARLES M. SHORTRIDGE. | CONCERNING COWARDICE. An Editorial Written for “The Mon- itor”” That Is Somewhat Pointed. The following note and the sccompanying | proofsheet therein mentioned reached THE SALL yesterday evening: | Sax FRANCISCO, Aug. 13, 1896. | To the Bditor of th» San Francisco Call—S1R: The inclosed is a proot of an editorial which will in this week’s Monitor. If you desire 10 use it you | are at liberty to do so. Respecttully, { MONITOR PUBLISHING COMPAX The Cowardice of the *‘Chronicle.”” The latest development in the controversy has been the publication of the opeu letter of Charles M. Shortridge to the editor of the Moniior. The | reply to that letter was furnished (as we believe custom demands) in the form of advance sheets to THE CALL and Examiner. Thouzh there were in the letter expressions which reflected severely on all the papers impartially, the directors of THE CALL and Examiner had the courage to print_the letter precisely as it appears in our columns to-day. The editor of the Chronicle heard of the fact that advance sheets were t0 be published. and he sent his representative to ask for them. We had no particular wish to oblige tne editor of the Chronicle, and no particular desire to see the Open Letter in its pages. We had. moreover, experience of the uoreliable character of John P. Young, and we made the distinct condition tbat the fetzer should be run as it was written, or mot at ali. Only on this condition were the proofsheets farnished. As usual. John P. Young was 100 cowardly to | print the jetter in full and 100 cowardly to keep bis word. He was anxious to injure a rival paper, but could conceive no other way of Injuring it than the cur's way of snapping at its heels. He mutilated the letter and printed what he considered would hurt, while the many circumstances related in the letter which throw a different light on the matters treated were relegaied to the waste-basket. To hide what is true is often more mendacious than to suggest what is false. The Chronicle’s method of d aling with the open letier to Charles M. Shortridge shows that John P. Young is & past master in the art of suppressio veri. We, of course, are anXious to prove that the Monitor has been right in its past course, but_we emphatically declive such wespons and such afd. | " While we resret the necessity of calling public attention to this contempt.ble piece of shysterism we feel that it is our duty to show that the same cowardly, insincere and dishonorable policy obiains t0-day in the Chronicle office which obtatned ten months ago, There has been no amendment. Now as then it is impossible to find a man in the entourage of John P. Young who knows the valne of his word. FOURTH OF JULY SURPLUS. The Money May Be Apportioned to City Grand Army Posts. All the financial obligations of tks | Fourthof July celebration committee have been paid, and there remains an unex- pended balance of $500. Nearly ali the leading contributors to the fund have signed a petition requesting that the sur- | pius be divided among the Grand Army posts of San Francisco, as these organiza- tions drew on their own resources to de- fray the expenses of Memorial day obsery- | ances. These facts are set forth in the body of the petition, and the signature of every vank, firm or individual that contributed $20 or more to the celebration fund is sought. It is set forth that in the observ- ance of Memorial day the principles of patriotism recognized in the celebration of the Fourth of July are justly remembered. ——————— THROWN GUT OF A BUGGY. Lillian St. Clair, a Living Picture, Ejected by Her Companion. Lillian 8t. Clair, 19 years of age, who poses a living picture in a “Barbary Coast” dive, and lives at Fifth and Clara streets, isin the Receiving Hospitalina semi-conscious condition. She was out in Golden Gate Park yester- day afternoon driving in a buggy witha young man. At the speed track they quarreled and he threw her out of the buggy. She was found by a park police- man, who had her taken to the h in the ambulance. S The doctors at the hospital are some- what puzzled over her case, but they think she is only suffering from alcohol- ism. « MONEY COULD NOT BUY THE LAND, So the Luning Building Will Have Eight Sides. VALUE OF ONE CORNER The Owner Wanted $25,000 for a Little Cigar-Store Site. NORTH BEACH LOTS HELD HIGH Demands Were Rejected and a Large Structure Is Going Up Around the Qbstructions. The Luning Company has had an un- pleasant experience in finding something that money could hardly buy. The com- pany owns real estate all over San Fran- cisco, but in this instance it could not add a tithe to its block at Montgomery avenue and Vallejo street unlessa sum fabulous in comparison with present values - w: paid.

If the twosmall lots could have been purchased the new building would have but four sides. Now, however, it will presenteight distinet exterior lines, with the most im- portant corner cut off, and a small, old- fashioned frame house cutting into the Stockton-street front. The block in which the Luning Com- pany is building is bounded by Vallejo and Stpckton streets and the avenue. At the angular corner of Vallejo street and REV. H. FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1896. value. So this little slice of land was also indignantly passed by. At that particular point property has become valuable since Stockton street grew into a busy and prosperous business thoroughfare. With one large structure divided into stores, with flats or offices above, the Luning block would soon be- come the center of business activity in | the North Beach district. The difference of ovinion over property values, however, has changed the aspect altogether. _ A HAT FULL OF MONEY. Peddlers Organize to Fight the New City Ordinance— ¥our Hundred on the Roll. Responding to a call for a meeting to protest against the ordinance affecting peddlers, recently adopted by the Board of Supervisors, about 400 peddlers mef. last night in Federation Hall, on Mission street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. Organization of the Peddlers’ Protective Association was perfected, with the elec- tion of the following officers: President, Meyer Bloom; vice-president, M. J. Mahoney; financial secretary, Ernest Lang; recording secretary, A. Bloom; treasurer, Daniel Keefe. These officers were also made the financial and execu- tive committee. Jonn Bowen and John Shea were electea sergeants-at-arms, and a committee on by-laws was chosen as fol- lows: L. Herold, 11, Munter, Jonn Kramer, Thomas Gibbons and John Nellman. . Attorney Frea McGregor made a speech, in which he spoke of the peddlers being robbed of their rights by a Board of Supervisors, which he described in terms anything but complimentary. About 400 signed the roli of members and paid 25 cents initiation fee, and nearly a hatful of silver was collected. Resoiutions landing two decisions of Judge Conlan in peddlers’ cases were adopted. There will be another meeting at the same place next Thursday night, when more members will sign the roll. HOBURG IS WILLING, The Attorney Will Not Oppose His Wife in Her Efforts to Get a Divorce. l_"nnk T. Hoburg, the attorney, is not going to oppose the efforts of his wife, Mary Gibbs Hoburg, to geta divorce. A default was entered in his case vesterday in Judge Hunt’s court. The trial will be had this morning, but the testimony will all be presented in behalf of the plaintiff. The suit caused quite a sensation at the time it was filed, because of the promi- nence of the parties, and every effort was made to avoid publicity. Mrs. Hoburg claims that her husband has been extremely cruel to her almost from the very day of their marriage and that he has failed to provide for her, and so forced her to draw upon her separate estate for maintenance. RICHMOND'S NEW PASTOR A Clergyman Who Has Found a ‘Church Teo Small for His Congregation. Bright Ecclesiastial Prospects in Store tor the Residents of the Fa- vored Valley. Richmond will in the near future have a new Episcopal church, and one that will in & measure be large enough to accommo- date the increasing congregation which has been aroused from a condition of lethargy since the appearance of the young pastor, the Rev. H. H. Clapham. It is generally understood that a church is to be erected in the place of the present guild hall, which will be turned around and set at the back of its present site, leay- ing room for a larger and more imposing structure. This would have become a ne- cessity before long, on account of the rap- idly increasing congregation ; but the erec- tion.of the new building of the Maria Kip Orphanage within a few blocks of the resent house of worship, which will be gun in a few weeks, makes the call for better church accommodatfon urgent. H. CLAPHAM, PASTOR OF ST. JAMES PARISH. Montgomery avenue there is a little tri- angle measuring 24 feet 103 inches on Vallejo street, 33:107 on the avenue and 23:103{ on the base. Upon this bit of land Peter Alferitz, the owner, has a cigar-store, with a few rooms overhead for a doctor’s office. The Luning Company wanted this corner so that the new store would have an unbroken front. Alferitz intimated that he did not want to sell, and then offers were made till the $20,000 mark was reached. This was met with the reply that the bit of land counld be had for $25,000. Negotiations were at an end and now the coveted correr could not sell for $10,000. The Luning lot measures 137 feet 6 inches on Vallejo street and 140 feet on the ave- aue. Its Stockton-street front is cut up by a small lot owned by P. Marsicano, which hasa frontage of 20 feet and adepth of 5714 feet. OM the north of this lot the Luning property has a front of 51 feet, while on the south, extending to the Vallejo-street corner, its length is 6634 feet.. Marsicano heard that his wealthy neighbors wanted ihe lot and he valued it ata price which those who know about the matter declare- was doubie the real Several meetings have recently been held to consider the matter, with the result that a vigorous effort is being made to raise the necessary funds. The Rev. H. H. C!apham was appointed to the church about two months ago. He was formerly rector of Los Gatos, and pre- vious to that was at Bakersfield. He has bad large and successful experience in mission work, and is said to be peculiarly | fitted for that which he has now under- | taken. | . The officers of the church are: J. H. k\chgrd-. warden; F. H. Seely, clerk; W. C."Wise, treasurer. —_———————— FOR EARLY CLOSING. The Drygoods Clerks Xffect Permanent Organization. The fourth meeting of the Retail Dry- goods Clerks’ Early Closing Association was held last evening in K. R. B. Hall A perrcanent organization was effected. communication was received from the directors of the Emporinm stating that it was impossible for them toclose their dry- g?odu department Saturday evenings at 6 o'clock. The executive committee was in- structed to take vigorous action in the matter. There | present, were over 150 drygoods salesmen SMITH ASPIRES T0 BIRD-LIKE FLIGRT His Airship Said to Be Undoubtedly a Great Success. BUILDING TO COMMENCE The Company Satisfied That the Problem Has Been Solved. ALUMINUM, GAS AND WINGS, How Dr. Smith Has Discovered a Means to Sail Thrcugh the Air. Dr. C. A. Smith is more enthusiastic than ever before over his flying-machine since he received a telegram Wednesday from Washington, D. C., informing him that a patent had been granted on his de- vice for sailing through the air. A company was incorporated in this City last Saturday for the purpose of building Smith’s airship, navigating air- vessels and carrying on a general business in them. I J. Truman, president of tbe Cclumbian Bank, and George T. Gaden are among the stockholders and directors. The attorney for the company is the Hon. M. M. Estee. These well-known men declare that Smith’s air-machine appears feasible as a mechanical proposition, and that it is really a most ingenious solution of the difficult problems that have faced the scientific aeronaut. Dr. Smith himself claims it will lift it- self and additional weight, and, more than that. he can so control its flight as to prac- tically imitate a bird on the wing. This means that the airship can be lifted from the earth and depressed at the will of the engineer, who may also steer his vessel hither and thither, describe circles regard- less of the wind and perform evolutions like a ship at sea. It is still further claimed for this wonderful invention that it can be driven into the very teeth of a storm. Indeed, if all that is claimed for it proves true the long-talked-of airship— the chimera of visionary men—will soon be an accomplished fact. The new company intends to open a workshop at once and begin the construc- tion of Dr. Smith’s first airship. And then, in the course of a few months from now, expectations of seeing the new ma- chine arise and float aloft will be very strong. The machine, as described by directors of the company, combines three princi- ples well understood in aerial navigation, but only poorly applied. First of all there is to be a cigar-shaped cylinder of alnminum, the lightest of metals, whica will contain gas to give buoyancy. With gas for a partial support there will be wings, one on each side. These wings are to be onerated after the principle of birds’ wings, and to act as aeroplanes as well as parachutes. They are so devised that they can be opened to a great extent, and so spread outward like monsirous fans. With them in motion the ship can be raised or lowered and propell-d at will. When closed by touching a button, they are designed to fold close against the sides of the gas cylinder. In coming down with the airship they are to be opened and extended, under which condition the mon- ster is to seesaw its way to mother earth. In the rear, according to Dr. Smith’s plans, there will be a screw propeller with large fa This will be driven by a small eleciric engine supplied by pewer from condensed storage batteries in the machine. What is said to_be one of the most in- teresting features of this invention is the steering apparatus, by which it is con- tended that the ship can be positively guided. They consist of fans that will work in connection with the wings in directing the flight. While soma of the directors are not in- clined to believe that the airship of Dr. Smith can be utilized in navigation of the air beyond limited reconnoitering in war, its inventor declares that it will cross the continent from sSan Fraancisco to New York in twenty-four hours. The technical description is still with- held by the inventor, as he is not satisfied to tell all he knows until the patent docu- ments come from Washington. TREADWELL RESTORED. The Supreme Court Restores the At- torney - His Offense Held to Be Attoned For. Attorney W. B. Treadwell is a happy man. After more than eleven years passed under the stigma of disbarment he has at last been reinstated as an attorney in good standing with authority to prac. tice his profession in all the courts of this State. The Supreme Court in raising the ban of disbarment refers in terms of the highest commendation to Mr. Treadwell’s blameless record during all the years which he has spent under censure and cites a number of English and American precedents for its action. The petition for Mr. Treadwell’s rebabilitation is signed by E. B. and George H. Mastick, in whos2 employ as confidential managing clerk Mr. Treadwell has been for nine con- secutive years, during which time their confidence in him has never been be- trayed. The petitioners also call the court’s at- tention to Mr. Treadwell’s unstained fam- ily life, and further show that the money, the misappropriation of which caused his disbarment, bas been fully refunded and repaid to its lawful owners. They believe bim to haveatoned for his one misstep and urged that his reinstatement could in no way bring discredit upon the legal profes- sion. Inrestoring Mr. Treadwell to gooa standing the court.says: No cases holding the contrary view have come to our attention, nor do we find any- thing in the statutes of this State to alter this rule. The statute merely regulates the pro- cedure and in no way defines the effect of the order upon the powers of the court. That ef- fect must be determined by the ordinary rules of law, which, as we have shown, authorize the court to mitigate the sentence upon s showing of good cause arising subsequently. We think, therefore, that upon the showing made and the authorities cited the application should be granted. meme SR SR Matt Kerr’'s Saloon Attached.
