THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1896. 9 HONOR WAITS ON | TAYLOR RCGERS, Be Nominated for Congress by the Populists. Will MAGUIRE SUITS THEM.| He Worked in Congress With His Third Party Col-’ leagues. | 1 1 | | THERE ARE COUNTER-BLASTS. | | 1 Fears That the Piacing of a People’s | Party Man in the Field Would | Elect 0'Brien. | = e | The Populists have not succeeded in get- | ting what they expected from the Democ- | racy in the matter of the proposed fusion on Congressmen, particularly in those districts in which the Democracy feels well and strong. Negotiations had been s ing for some time between the two parties with reference to a candidate for Congress from the Fifth District, but no agreement could be reached; and the Con- gressional Convention which will neet in San Jose to-day will nominate a straight | Populist. | Taylor Rogers, Mayor Sutro’s secretary, is the man slated by the party for that office, and he will doubtiess receive the nomination. Mr. Rogers occupies a unique position. | He was a member of the Populists’ Na- tional Convention at St. Louis last month, | and Mr. Bryan is his candidat Bryan is fur the unlimited coinage of silver, while | Mr. Rogers is a fiat-money man and has | written a very entertaining book embody- | ing his thoughts to the effect that goid and silver are commodities and therefore not true money. As Bryan and his silver clients are the nominees of the People’s party as well as{ of the Democrats, Mr. Rogers will bave to | the split act in attempting to smnd‘ upon his book and upon Mr. Bryan’s plat- | form at one and the same time. But there’s no knowing what 8 man can | io when i.e is in politics. Democratic leaders have fixed things | with Poy t leaders with reference to | the Congressional fight in the Fourth et, iit is now conceded that no fate will be nominated against Judge re in that district. X arth District delegation held a | ting just before they went 1o St. Louis d decided not to take any action with | rence to a Congressman until after the on of the National Convention. They | not formally met since, but they | : come to ar understanding that Ma- e will be acceptable toall the members he People’s party. “‘Magwmire is with us on the financial ” said Carlton Johnson of the y State Central Committee ‘and be has worked with the s in Congress on other measures, n will get considerable of the Irisn Demntocratic” votes, as he has many riends in the district, and it thereiore would not do to endanger Maguire’s elec- | tion by putting up a thira candidate.” | R. E. Bush, secretary of the Peovle’s | State Central Committee, resents | imputation that he has been muzzled | the remainder of the committee. He | yesterday that 'he had referred re- | s and other knowledge-seekers to | Chairman Wardall for whatever informa- | Le might choose to give. Mr. Bush | declined to wear a muzzle for any man or of men. re is something back of this little e Populists are not giving out to the reporters. It will be remembered that at ectiag of the People’s party County mittee in Mozart Hall several we communication was read from Sec- Bush in which he asked several s ted questions with reference to the | proposed rusion with the Democracy. The communication was not received with very good grace and J. Asbury | Johnson and others objected to its being | read on technical grounds, but it was read nothwithstanding and was published in Tuz Carn. Its tenor by implication was unfavorable to fusion. | HE DECLINED THE HONOR Colonel Taylor Does Not Care to Consult the State Equalizers.

The Captain of the Wrecked Steamer St. Paul Tells How the Casualty Happened. The official inguiry 1nto the cause of the wreck of the St. Paul, which occurred near Monterey August 8, was held be- fore Snpervising Inspector Bermingham yesterday In all seven witnesses were examined, the testimony going to show that the steamer was lost under conditions similar to the Colombia. Captain Downing said that at 8:56 o’clock on the night of the disaster the St. Paul was off Point Sur. He took his bearings and found that he was one and a quarter miles off the regular course. At 11:08 p. M. land was noticed ahead and he steamer was backed at full speed. When she struck he again took his bear- ingsand found he was two and a half miles from where he expected to be. Shortly after the 8t. Paul struck the chief engineer reported that the engines would not work. Captain Downing then ordered the chief officer to take one of the smaller boats and find land. He then loaded the | four remaining boats with passengers ana provisions and awaited the return of the chief officer. The other witnesses, J. J. Coleman, third officer; E. K. Knowlan, watchman; | Jack Anderson, lookout; F. Nelson, at the wheel; Andrew Hall and Philip D. Ward, seamen, corroborated the testimony of Captain Downing. They said the night was dark and foggy, rendering it almost impossible to see a ship’s length ahead. Captain Bermingham took the case under advisement. STUFFERS NOT HUMEROUS Registrar Hinton Takes Time to Explode a Ridiculous Story. ;’1 Maguire Laughs at Some ames That Are Called Those of Stuff.rs. Congressm of the The sensational stories. that have ap- peared in a morning paper regarding the stuffing of the registration lists by fraudu- lent voters are nothing more than crea- tions of the writer's brain, according to Registrar Hinton, who stated most em- phatically yesterday that, as far as he knew, there had been little or no stuffing. “Of course there are a laige number of | names that have been classed as dount- ful,”” besaid, ‘‘but, as has already been stated in THE CALL, there is no tangible ground for, declaring them stuffers and the papers that are making all this outery are doing those whose names they publish a great injustice. “‘The instructions [ issued to the regis- tration officers are responsible for the big doubtful list. I told the men that I would not feel justified in signing their salary demands unless they exercised the most extraordinary care to prevent stuf- fing and reported every name where there had been the slightest irregularity, even to the spelling of names, mistakes in ini- tials, etc. “In consequence they sent in big lists of doubtfuls and Inow have eight men out investigating these lists. Of course there may be a few stuffers, it would be strange if there were not out of 73,075 names, but I think the number is very small and as a. matter of actual fact at the present time I do not know of any. The majority of those on the douhtful list will be shown to have inadvertently registered from the wrong precinct, to have moved since reg- istering or to have left the City to work elsewhere.’” Frightened by the sensational reports of stuffing Congressman James G. Maguire went to the Registrar's office yesterday and eagerly scanned the lists of doubtful names that had been written up as stuffers. *‘Humph,” he ejaculated with a relieved look on his face as he finished his inspec- tion, “these men may be stuffers as has been stated, but I don’t believe that they are nearly all in that class, for I see men here classed as doubtful that 1 know per- sonally to be good men.” He called attention to the names of George T. Bromley, the grand old man of Bohemia, and a number of well known newspaper men, among them Frederick Lawrence. “I don’t believe those men are stuffers,’”” he said laughingly as he left. HOW TWO MEN DIED. | One Sent a Bullet Through His Head. The Other Selected His Heart. Peter Lenno, laborer, aged 45, living at 122 Rroad street, Ocean View, committed suicide yesterday by sending a bullet | from General at the meeting and suggested that Colonel | through his heart. He had been sick for Taylor, as chairman of the Finance Com- mittee, was the proper person to attend to the matter, but Mr. Taylor said that private reasons, as well as his attitude re- garding corporation assessments, would preclude his acting and askéd that some one else be detailed. City and County Attorney Creswell said that he thought Mayor Butro was the proper person to look out for such matters, and that the Mayors of municipalities were expected to look out for the people’s interests. Colonel Little responded that Mayor Sutro was at his ranch near Calistoga suf- fering from physical disability, and would pe unable to undertake the task. The matter rested there. The committee discussed the matter of sending attorneys to Washington to fight before the Supreme Court of the United States the suit of the Delaney heirs against the City, which involves the own- ership of twenty-four varas of land in Lafayette Park. The City won before the State Supreme Court but the matter has been ecarried to the court of last resort. ‘The choice lies between the tirms of Craiz & Meredith and Sullivan & Sullivanand the decision was left to a future m&ting 10 be held on Tuesday next. e REPORTS OF BANK3.

CANNOT GO TO TRIAL Captain Lees and the Prosecu- cution Are Ready for the Battle. CAMPBELL WAS NOT PRESENT. The Throng in Judge Wallacs’s Court Was Devoid of Women Criminal Worshipers. Only star cases can attractsuch a motely' crowd as was in Judge Wallace’s court yesterday morning when the Winthrop case was called. The defendant was less in evidence than the people around, who erowded and glared at each other, no one apparently knowing just who was the prisoner. Winthrop sat calmly and chatted be- and he knows he can win it even without the testimony of ‘‘Pete” or ‘Dollie.” STARVING SNAKES. Air and a Chance Fly or Two Has Been Their Bill of Fare for Several Days. The establishment in the ground floor of theold Y. M. C. A, building on Sutter street, long known as the “Snake Drug- store,” has became a scene of starvation and suffering. A short titae ago the orig- inal proprietors moved their business to the corner above. Another drug firm rented the shop, and by way of an adver- tisement established a menagerie of rep- tiles in one of the show windows, The business met with setbacks and reverses, and at length the Elnca was closed by order of court, a Sheriff’s officer being placed in charge of the premises, The man's job Was an easy one. Solong as he did not attempt to sample the drugs he might well have been envied by many a busy merchant-prince or hard-worked professional man. The weltare of the snakes, however, had not been taken into account. For days and days tbe luckless even though un- canny creatures have been living on air, thszfight diet being varied by an occa- sional fly. A good man, versed in the ways of snakee, passing by the place per- ceived that the reptiles were in danger of dying of inanition. Hereported the matter to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty | to Animals, which has taken measures to have the snakes fed or dispatched. o e o ‘Wine Men Meet. The annual meeting of the California Wine Association was held yesterday at Second and Folsom streets. As many as 30,912 shares were represented. The following officers and directors were elected to serve for the ensuin year: Percy T. Morgan, president and general manager; Albert Lachman,. vice-president; Henry Van Bergen, secretary and treasurer: directors—Charles Carpy, A. I, Tubbs, Heary Kohler, J. Frowenield; Henry Lachman, gen- eral superintendent; Henry Kohler, superin- tendent winemaking; E. Frowenfeld, chair- man New York Board; Carl Van Bergen, New York, assistant treasurer. 0. W. Winthrop Being Arraigned in Ccurt. tween Captain John Curtin and Detective Seymour in one of the front rows near the attorney’s desk. There was nothing in his demeanor to indicate he was the chief actor in the drama about to be developed, and even when he rose when his-name was called, and faced the bar to listen to the reading of the indictments found against him there was nothing to indicate that he was a whit more interested in the affair than the people who surrounded him. The absence of the morbidly inclined women who usually gather around men charged with great crimes was particu- larly noticeable, He, the hero of the oc- casion, an alleged kidnaper of men and a proposed abductor ot old ladies, as the story goes, stood unsupported by any pet- ticoat and without a floral offering. This appeared an entirely new departure in criminal court circles in this City. Attorneys Bell and Quitzow, who have been in conference with Winthrop for many days, with every facility to grasp every thread of the defense, made the astonishing announcement to Judge Wal- lace when their client’s case was called that they had just been brought into the case and would require a couple of weeks 1 which to examine the merits of thein- dictments. The court was not inclined to grant the delay, saying that the proceedings at the b ar, after all, were only in the sbape of an arraignment. *‘Surely,” spoke his Honor, ‘‘your chient can say now whether he is guilty or not guilty.” Attorney Bell, the suave voung student W. H. L. Barnes’ office, in- sisted upon a delay and was willing to compromise on one week instead of two. “What do you want it for?'’ asked Judge Wallace. “Give me some good rea- son and 1 may entertain the motion.” Bell could say nothing more than he and his associate'had not examined into the framing of either the Grand Jury or the indictment. Assistant District Attorney Black, who is attending to the prosecution, asked that matters in the case be expedited, as the complaining witness (Campbell) had all his interests in Honolulu and they were being neglected during his absence. “It is no fault of ours,” putin Attorney Bell, “if your client is being detained in this City.” “There is where we difter with yon,” answered Black. *“Without you we would have boarded our last steamer and would now be at home in Honolulu.” *That is & matter of fact that will have ;;})le passed upon by the jury,’” replied ell, After this, Judge Wallace took matters in his own hand and ordered the defend- ant to be present next Monday morning for arraignment. The two indictments against Winthrop recited the robbery of three hundred and odd dollars and “an assault to commit murder. They were found against 0. W. ‘Winthrop and John Doe Pete. Winthrop answered when his name was called, but Pete, the mysterious, failed to put in an appearance. y ““Where is the other person, ‘Pete’?"” the court asked. “Your Honor,” explained Anome’ Black, ‘‘there is on‘l]y onevgrisoner here.” “Oh,” exclaimed Judge Wallace, “that’s it, is it? There is but one defendant, All right, go ahead with the case.” Attorney Black insisted, however, in placing affairs on their proper footing by saying that while there were two enact- ments for two different people only one had been apprehended and that John Doe Pe_;: was an:!'n luige. e proceedings in court being disposed off, Winthrop was escorted bw‘k &op&nx 84, in the dark recess of the jail. “While I am quite ready” with my evi- dence,” said he, “and willing to g0 ahead Itook the advice of my attorneys and asked for a delay, The reason for this is that neither Messrs. Bell nor Quitzow has had an opportunity in_this short time to grasp the magnitude of my defense. The evidence I have to produce is overwhelm- ing, but it must be presented in easy stages and in a comprehensive manner.’” ‘aptain Lees, on the other hand, regards the work of this day asa distinctive vie- tory. Heis ready to goahead with the trial at the "“drop of the hat,” as ke says, GOOD LUCK THE MOTTD, William Fahey Entertains His Friends of the Horse- shoe Club, A Pleasant Social Event in the Cos. mopolitan Hotel Followed by a Banqust. William Fahey; proprietor of the Cos- mopolitan Hotel on Fifth ana Mission streets, assisted by Mrs. Fahey, enter- tained a large party of friends lasteven- g and all bad a most enjoyabla time. The occasion was humorously called the hanging of the horseshoe and many of the guests were adorned with the lucky em- blem. Infact most of those present are membpers of what they call ihe Horseshoe Social Club. The large parlors were ablaze with light, and flowers were scattered everywhere, The early part of the evening was spent in listening to songs, recitations, instro- mental music and character sketches, James M. Ward, the actor, sang and gave several recitations. Harry Gleeson and W. D. Hendrickson cleverly disguised themselves so their best friends did not know them, and gave several well sus- tained character sketchbes. entertained the party with several violin solos, and among the others who contrib- uted to the evening’s enjoyment were Miss Leah Heineberg, John E. Gleeson Jr., William Gleesox, the actor, and Professor Andonegui. At a late hour the host invited his friends to a sumptuous banguet, and to reach the banquet hall overy one had to pass_under an old rusty horseshoe, and Mr. Fahey and his family wished them all the good luck the eniblem is supposed to carry with it. Toasts, short addresses and humorous recitations were the order until it was time to say good-night. Many of the Fnestu were prominent members of the Police Department.

The Fairmount Improvement Club held a meeting Thursday night at Jansen’s Hall, 235 Chenery street. The Pesthouse question was brongkt up and the scheme to remove it to the Almshouse tract was roundly denounced, as such a course would blacken that entire section of the City and would be 2 serious obstacle to improvement and sro{n It was suggested that some old hulk could be secured to be used as a Pesthouse, and anchored where it wonid do no harm and cause no discomfort.

REGISTRATION CASES. Registrar Hinton Has Not Pro- duced the Desired Proof. INDICTMENT FOR FORGERY, Arthur Arlington Tried to Palm Bogus Checks on Rosa Kormarony. P. B. Cornwall, president of the Mutual Electric Light Company, was a witness be- fore the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon. Some weeks ago information was con- veyed to Frank McLennon, the secretary, and Theodore Payne that Mr. Cornwall knew something of .the peculiar methods adopted by seven of the Supervisors. Ac- cordingly a subpena was issued for Mr. Cornwall, but when Detective Robert Hogan went to serve it he was informed that the desired witness had gone to the Puget Sound country on a business trip. In due iime Mr. Cornwall came back to town and signified a willingness, without expressing a desire, to go before the jury. Yesterday afternoon he was engaged thirty-five minutes in telling what he knew of the subject under inquiry. He was followed by W. R. Summerhayes, manager of the Mutual Electric Light Compauny, | Whether the jury got as much valuable information as was expected cannot be definitely ascertained at this time, but facts of sufficient importance were brought tolight to induce the members of the Grand Jury to pursue the investigation still further. Anotner session will be held next Friday and the same line of inquiry followed. It transpires that Mr. Cornwall could not tell the Grand Jury of any specific tran=action in which wonev had been cor- ruptly paid to the Supervisors, but he nar- rated some of the facts brought before the Wallace Grand Jury when he was con- nected with the Edison Light and Power Company. The revelations in this respect were so pertinent that the Grand Jury yes. terday resolved to examine the books and accounts of that corporation to ascertain if the old methods of buying Supervisors have not been again introduced. The Grand Jury has ample power to make this examination, and it was decided that Hor ace D. Dunn was the right man to look into the books. Actions were cited to show that the solid seven did not extend favers withoat compensation. The tavor shown to the gas company in reducing the assessment of its tranchise, and the prompt and easy gowng manner in swhieh the contraot for lighting public streets and buildings was renewed, creates theimpression that seven of the SBuperyisors are on the payroll of the corporation. Payments may be con- cealed now, and the-disbursements in- volved in mystery, yet, members of the Grand Jury are still confident that a clew will be found to trace the payments. Should Mr. Dunn require assistance in the examination of the books, another expert will be engaged to help him. Another hitch occurred yesterday in the consideration of the illegal registration cases. It wasinferied that the failure to bring forward these cases at the session of the jury last week was due to pressure of work in other directions, which claimed so much of the Districs Attorney’s time that he could not put the evidence in roper form. Yesterday District Attorney Enrnes intormed the jury that he was ready to take up the cases, but that Regis- trar Hinton bad not produced the desired data. Asa large increase in the number of registered voters has been returned, an examination of the lists may be made to ascertain if fraud cuts any figure in the large enroliment, Arthur Arlinfiwn. alias Llewelyn Miller alias Charles Holmans, was indicted by the Grand Jury yesterday. According to various accounts of undoubted veracity Arlington is an article quite as smooth as salad oil, but he made a great blunder in trying to palm off on Rosa Kormarony three checks, respectively, of ilo. $50 and $5000, drawn on the Donohoe-Kelly Bank- ing Company, of which James A. Thomp- son is manager. The checks were dated April 20, 1896, and bore the signature of J. M. Carsons. One reason that the checks were not honored was because J. M. Car- sons was not known at the bank, and another reason was that he had no money on deposit there. Either circumstance would have caused Manager Thompson to view the checks with suspicion, and the conjunction of both convinced him that some one was seeking to perpetrate fraud. Mr. Thompson was a witnessat the Grand Jury yesterday, and in bis devotion to public duty probably missed the San Ra- 1ael boat. ¥ Arthur Arlington, slias Llewelyn Milier, alias Charles Holmans, regards the fair sex as fair game in his confidence operations. The fact that he has been convicted twice of grand larceny and is now in juil for several other offenses did not help his cause before the Grand Jury yesterday. When he sought to fleece Rosa Korma- rony he proposed marriage. At 3 o'clock P. M., April 20, 1896, he first saw Rosa at 78634 Harrison street. At 3:20 P. M. he proposed marriage. The twenty minutes delay is explained by Rosa’s companion, Mrs. Teresa Hankazy. Arlington could not speak German or understand it. Un- fortunately Xosa could not speak or un- Sk | derstand English, so Teresa, who speaks osep! and understands both English and Ger- man, required twenty minutes’ time to transiate what the wooer said to the wooed, and what the wooed saia to the wooer. Whether Rosa accepted when | Arlington proposed is ot divuiged. That is a Grand Jury secret faithfully guarded. Edward Neumann, official interpreter, interpreied to the Grand Jury what Rosa Kormarony had to say for herself. She testified that Arfington tried to take some money from her pocketbook, but she de- tected him in the act and caused him to desist. Arlington went to ber place os- tensibly to engage a room, 8o he said, for a girl aged 18, who needed special care and attention for a certain period. Detective Anthony told the Grand Jury something about Arlington’s record as a swindler and his peculiar knack of de- franding women, ‘When tbe roll was called in Judge Slack’s court the following members of the Grand Ju responded: Frank l(:.k Freak ;’ cLennan, A]ghmg Bull Jr., E. E. Cheever, John F. Cline, T, C. L. Haskell, H. H. Hencke, C. 8. Lau- meister, Edward Malley, Jacob Marten- stein, P. McG. Bean, C. O'Connor and 'I!.‘F. Payne. On motion of Walter Hinkle of the Dis- trict Attorney’s staff Arlington’s bail was fixed at $2000.
