16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1896. WHEELS WILL HAVE TO PAY, No Longer to Be Carried Free on the Ferry- Boats. FIAT ALREADY ISSUED. The New Order of Things to Go Into Effect on September First. CIRCLES CYCLING FXCITED. Organized Effort to Be Made to Cir. cumvent the Imposition of This Tax. Whoever desires to carry a bicycle on any train or boat of the Southern Pacific Company after the 1stof September will have to pay a tax to that corporation. Even should the cyclist’s trip exiend no further than Oakland, Berkeley or Ala- meda from San Francisco, he will be forced to contribute the sum of ten cents to the coffers of Huntington, Crockeret al. Circular letters have been sent out to all the agents of the Southern Pacific Com- pany at the stations between which bi- cycles are now carried free of charge, in- structing them as follows: Commencing September 1, 1896, 25 cents will be the charge for the transportation in baggage-car of a bicycle, & tricycle or a baby carriage hetween any two points. 2 The term “bicyele” is here used in its gen- eral sense, as including the wheel commonly called & “fandem.” { Passes must not be recognized as covering & free carriage of the articles above named. This means that wheels carried between San Francisco, Benicia, Livermore, Mar- tinez, Vallejo, San Jose and_any interme- diate point will have to be paid for after the date mentioned. Instructions have also been issued pro- viding for the collection of 10 cents for each bicvele carried across the bay in either direction on the regular ferries, and five cents on the creek route. This action has been under considera- tion for several months, and the matter is one that has caused long-and labored dis- cussions among the ruling powers of the great railroad monopoly. On the 1st of July the same policy was adopted with reference to Los Angeles, in connection: with the other lines which enter that city, but it was not then thought expedient to apply it to the terri- tory about San Francisco. The reason assigned by the railroad people for this charge is that bicycles take up valuable room on the train and fre- quently delay trains by the time con- sumed in storing them. The real reason is, however, that the Southern Pacific has been inspired to the probosed course by the fact that it is one of the very few roads which are now not making any charege for wheels carried to near-by points and does not_intend to longer forego the oppor- tunity of attempting to increase its reve- nue at the expense of the wheelmen. It was believed that this departure would not be unaertaken until after the election, in order not to excite the cyclists to act’on which would result in the choice of legislators who would be pledged tothe passage of a bill providing for the free carriaze of bicyles as baggage everywhere within the State. Such a law is now in force in New York. and it is highly prob- able that united and early action will be taken by the wheelmen of the entire State to secure similar privileges for the riders of this State. Thousands of people in the course of the week cross the bay with wheels, some only on pleasure bent, others who take their wheels with them as a means of :eaching their places of business or their homes with facility and without expense. Many live in sections removel from convenient railroad or streefcar connection across the bay, and these will either have to change their residences and verhaps sell their homes or vay this enforced tribute to the Bouthern Pacific Company. It is this class of residents—they who have given way to the allurements of suburban charms—who will be hardest hit by the new order of things. Those who ride for plessure have the remedy in their own hands to a large ex- tent, and, from expressions heard yester- day, they are disposed to apply it with promptness and vigor. Instead of riding for a distance of fifty miles in one direc- tion and then taking a train back to the starting point, this class of cyclists will ride a less distance from their home and will use their wheel in both directions. Justice of the Peace ¥rank H. Kerrigan, who is chief consul of the North Catifornia Division of the League of American ‘Wheelmen, was full of the new order of things when seen yesterday. “We have known of this matter for some time,” he said, “and we are pre- pared to meet it in the proper and most effective miatter. The Southern Pacific Company has been looking for a chance to ‘cinch’ the cyclists of San Francisco, Oak- land, Alameda and neighboring iowns for a long time, and the thing thai we are most thankful for is that the new regula- tions have gone into effect before election time so that we can show the railroad company the irue strength of wheelmen in this portion of the State. *‘We know the strength of the ballot and how it can be used, and we propose to see that the cyclists of California, and particu- larly the league members, are not given the worst of it. ““More than a week ago information came to local league officials that the Southern Pacific officials would try to charge for wheels crossing the ferries, but it has not bothered us much, because we know that such matters are adjustable and that with the proper pressure brought to bear we shall prevail. *‘The Southern Pacific Company appa- rently does not realize that the thousands of wheelmen in San Francisco and the suburban towns about it are a unit on the question of charges for wheels, and that with our great strength we are quite likely to elect a Lecislature that will block any such scheme as now proposed. We have already had conferences with the repre- sentatives of 3 number of important towns within easy distance of San Francisco, and all are enthusiastic in favorof fighting this matter to the bitter end. *Meetings of the local division of the teague and of the Associated Cycling clubs bave already been decided on, and the g'ght will be fairly under way in a few ays.” ESTABLISHING THE LINE. Homers Will Fly To-Day Under the Auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. The first sending out of homing pigeons under the encouragement of the Chamber of Commerce, procured from the lofts of A. Carlisle, will take place to-day. The birds are furnished free for the use of the Charaber of Commerce by Mr. Carlisle, who has been ready to carry out his lib- eral offer in this connection at the earligst convenience. The first few flignts of birds will necessarily be somewhat experimental, and asa consequence no messages will be dispatched just yet. Assoon as the birds | by the excursionists. { lot of events there were speciul events 1or Al 'Y are familiar with the sea route the regular sending of messages will begin. The first work in this connection wiil be performed by pigeons which will be sent outon the steamer Queen on her whaling and sight- seeing cruise. There will be thirty birds, which will be flown in installments—some from the scene of the steamer wrecksand others from the farthest distance reached No attempt wiil be made for a record. A plan in connection with the pigeon-flying later on is to estab- lish a bulletin-board to contain rexular information for shippers concerning the pigeons and the news chey bring, and this may be located in the Merchants’ Ex- change.

Major Alvord of the Department of Agriculture to Visi¢ the Coast Next Moath. The directors of the State Dairymen’s Association mei yesterday at their office, 113 Davis street, and much business of importance to the trade was transacted. There were present: Directors Jawmes Maillard of Marin County, president; William Niles of Los Angeles, F. H. Green of San Francisco, A. P. Martin of Petaluma, H. M. Le Baron of Valley Ford and Samuel E. Watson of San Francisco, secretary. The principal topic of discussion before the board was the inspection of dairy herds. Inthis connection a letter was read from Major E. Alvord, chief of the dairy division, Department of Agriculture, who will make an official visit to the State in September. “I note,’' he said, ‘the tubercu- losis excitement (very unfortunate and needless) and the extrerae action being taken. I will try to give this particular attention in your State.” Major Alvord’s opinion is based upon clippings sent him by the dairymen. The laws of several States in regard to the condemnation of cattle were discussed, that of Massachusetts particularly being commented upon favorably. In that State cattle condemned for disease are paid for by the State, one-half their value being allowed the owner, provided he has made no effort to conceal the disease. As a result ot the discussion the follow- ing resolntion was passed: WHEREAS, It is evident to the directors of the California Dairy Association thatextreme measures are liable to be taken in the matter of tuberculosis, and that great loss would ac- crue to the dairy interests of the State from general condemnation of cattle, and believing that the most careiul inquiry should be made 1nto the issue involved before further action is taken, therefore it is Resolved, That the legisiative committee of this association enter into communication with other dairy associations for the purpose of securing co-operation in State legisiation upon this subject. W. P. Brewer of San Mateo was elected to fill a vacancy 1n the board of directors, and the legislative committee was in- creased to five by the addition of W. P. Breme and George Dutton. The appointment of Samuel E. Watson and W. H. Saylor superintendents of dairy exhibits at the State Fair was approved. 1t was announced the World’s Fair stand- ard for judging butter will be nsed at tue State Fair, A committee consisting of Messrs. Niles, Green and Watson was appointed to meet Major Alvord at SBacramento on the 15th of next month. Major Alvord will be in Sacramento during the State Fair and will be in this City during the dairymen’s con- vention which will be in session the 29th and 30th of September. He will be asked to address the convention. There will also e speakers present from Stanford, Berke- ley and the Academy of Sciences. The dairymen hope to zet a consensus of scientific opinion upon the tuberculosis question, which is at present their main trouble, ———— Ex Rays Outdone—Brought to Life.

"« This means that the general manager- ship of the Fire Association of Philadel- phia, in San Francisco, will be abolished, if, indeed, it has not already become a thing of the past. 8 The abolition of a general office carries with it the reduction of a large staff or clerks and other insurance men, all trained in their special departments; also the re- ductions of office accommodations, or more likely the dispensing of the whole piant and employes. It is simply a contrac- tion of business expentes, and methods under unfavorable conditions such as have grevailed for some time pastin the local re iimnmnce field, since a rate war de- moralized profits. .

The match was arranged a week ago and grew out of a dispute. Ernest Miller is a butcher in the Clay- street market, wher> he is employed by the Uri Company, for which his opponent, Sam Brownley, works as a stableman. Miller is 38 yearsof age, tall, slim, cadaver- ous and habitually hungry-looking, but appearances are deceptive.. Brownley 1832 years of age, is shorter and of a more rotund form. Yesterday forenoon at 10 o’clock they met in the market to do or die for the honors that were in sight and for fitteen dozen eggs, which they hoped to put out of sight. 1ncidentally there was a bet of $5 a side and the cost of the eggs and the expense of cooking them. The contestants visited A. Fodera’s stall and bargained for the eggs. At 10:20 o’clock evervthing was in readi- ness, and Miller and Brownley, mountecd on stools 1n front of the restaurant counter in the center of the market, began their task. Kaufman Wertheimer, man- ager of the Uri Company, acted as judge, stake-holder and scorer. 3 The first half dozen passed by the board like so much 1cecream at a Fourth of July picnic. An interested crowd had gath- ered. The men gulped their eggs down regu- larly and deliberately in batches of a_half dozen prepared at a time. The crowd was silent and interested. As the courses varied with bolled eges, fried eggs, raw eggs, scrambled eggs, shirred eggs, poached eggs and even baked eggs, the crowd watched with alarm the growing pallor of Brownley’s face. But he stuck to his work and kept brushing away the cold perspiration that stood out in beads on his forehead. - Miller had downed six soft boiled, thirty raw, another six soft boiled, eighteen fried and was finishing the fourth of another raw batch, when there was an agonized gulp from his ri “Umph! I guess I’'m about full,” all he said as he rolled off his stool and was assisted out of the ring by his friends. By the terms of the match Miller had the match then, for the first to quit was loser. Brownley had devoured thirty-six sofl&b{)fled, twelve scrambled, and twelyve {ried. *‘Keep 1t up,”’ some one called out en- couragingly to Muiller, ‘‘there are plenty more eggs.”’ And Miller ate the two remaining on his plate, finishing strong with sixty-six ezgs and a big cup of coffee just as it was twenty minutes to 12 o’clock, after eating for an hour and twenty minutes. Then some one urged the victor to goon and outdo himself. But Miller turned a withering glance in the direction of that man, and remarked, “I ain’t no hog, I guess I know when I've got enough,” INSURANCZ DID Nof PAY. The Fire Association of Philadelphia Adopts a New Plan. Fire-insurance circles were surprised yesteraay at the latest change which was announced in one of the leading offices. The more so was this news a good subject for gossip among insurance men when it was said that this same change was only one of many that began recently,and were expected to occur from time vo time.

Only $115 on the Pair of Sausalito Lights—Successful Concert at Mill Valley. SAUSALITO, Car, Aug. 2L.—Jogging along serenely in the moonlight, with no thought of robbers or anything else, At- torney Sylva, our city legal light, was bhomeward bound at an early hour this morning from Larkspur. He had trans- acted his business satisfactorily, had en- joyed a hearty duck dinrver and was call- ing back once in a while to his friend, Marshal Creed, who was in a buggy be- hind him. They had just reached the summit of the hill by Alto station, when two men jumped from the side of the road and, in loud tones, ordered Sylva to throw up his hands, at the same time covering him with their guns. Sylva can use a pistol himself, but there was no time, and he complied with the request quickly. he two robbers, however, had no thoughts of Creed, the sturdy Marshal of Sausalito, who, soon as he saw his friend Adolphus’ plight, jumped from his buggy, pulled his gun and covered the two men in turns. Ehoy gave in at once, were handcuffed and marched to San Rafael, where they now lie in durance vile awaiting trial next Monday. They are named Jones and Anderson, and belong to this county. They claiin their action was a joke and that they were camping close by, but probably the joke wa< played on the wrong person.

A DUTCH BARON'S FEARFUL THREATS Blue-Blooded William G. Shreckkenburg Gets Into Prison. WOULD KILL HIS WIFE. Accused of Administering a Drug and Practicing Ex- tortion. SUIT - FILED FOR DIVORCE. The Prisoner Claims Noble Lineage and Speaks Fluently in Six Different Tongues. Baron William G. Shreckkenburg rests out at the City Prison, in a cold steel cell, sad lot fora man of so nohle a lineage and such a name. The primal cause of the Baron’s ignoble position is threaten- ing to kill the wife of his bosom, but that is not all of the Baron’s infelicity, by any means. There is, incidentally, a suit for divorce on several well defined and very strong charges. Schrekkenburg, who hails from, Amster- dam, and claims to be a Dutch Baron, came to San Francisco last March, and has at various times exercised his muscles in serving viands to the patrons of the Palace Hotel and the Maison Doree. The rest of the time he spent in loafing and disposing of the $50 a month he received from some source or other. He himself has said it was received from blue-blooded relatives.in the Netherlands. In the latter Eart of April or the early part of May of the present year, the Baron met Miss Frances R. Lamon, who has lived in this City for the last four years, but whose parents live in Monterey.” The young lady is possessed of certain” valua- le property near her native city, and in addition has about $4000 or $5000 in a sav- infs bank here. The two kept company until July 29, when they were married at the new City Hall by Justice Cook. Rooms were at once taken on Mason street, near Eddy. Last Monday suit for divorce was brought and the case assigned to Judge Hebbard’s court. In this suit the lady is represented by Attorney Joseph = A. Mitchell. The defendant’s time in which to answer will expire next Thursday. The complaint states some very curious things, such, however, the complaint itseif says, as mngixt be expected from a man of title. The first charge is that defendant has continuously treated plaintitf 1n a cruel and inhuman manner, and that he has frequently applied vile and indecent epithets to her. The second charge isthaton July 30, the daF subsequent to marriage, the plaintiff believes defendant administered a drug to ber in their apartments on Mason street, and that while she was in a weak and over- powered condition he demanded that she sign a check in his favor for a large sum of money. If she refused to do this, the complaint states, he asserted he would kill ber. As soon as she was able, or on August 1, the woman says she left Shreckkenburg and took ug quarters in another lodging- house on the same street, fearing that he would carry his threat into execution. It is mentioned that he immediately followed her and took up quarters on the lower floor of the house, where he could badger and threaten her as she came and went. The next charge is that Shreckkenburg maliciously circulated false reports about his wife, with the view of forcing her to give him money. He has further, she says, not only refused to pay a cent toward her support, but left her to pay several small bills of his own. This, the com- plaint incidentally mentions, is ample proof of his blue blood. On the night of August 14, Mrs. Shreck- kenburg cuarges, her husband forced his way into the room where she wasreclining on a lounge and violently hauled her around the room, declaring that if she would give him $100 ail wonld be well, but otherwise he would “fix” her so she could not tell who did it. On account of his actionsshe called in a po- liceman, who ejected the infuriated Baron without ceremony. Since then she has been, she says, in a state of nervous pros- tration. ‘When the papers for divorce were served on Shreckkenburg. Attorney Mitchell says he was very abusive, and said in the pres- ence of several that be would kill his wife, Wwhether she obtained a divorce or not. Friday night the Baron’s wife says he went 10 herroom with a large knife in his band, which he flourished ina very suggestive manner, and used most abusive language toward her. A warrant was issued for his arrest on the ground of threatening to commit murder. Besides being an accomplished linguist the Baron is said to have traveled all over the world, coming here directly from Denver, and to have acted as interpreter for distinguished Americans traveling on the Continent. M. F. TARPEY’S POSITION He Explains a Varlety of Matters and Makes Some Quite Interesting Statements. The following communication has been received from M. F. Tarpey: To the Editor of the San Francisco Call—DEAR SIR: Your issue of this morning on the thir- teenth page contains a column of matter headed in double-leaded t. Plumes Smootkied Down,” which 18 so entirely incorrect that 1 request you to publish this correction, and give 1t equal prominence with ;)l;xemlnficle of this morning which I com- ain of. First—There is no fight between Warren Euglish aund myself for the nomination for Congressman in the Third District. Mr. Eng- lish is, I am informed, seeking the nomination in the district, and many of my friends are soliciting me to permit the use of my name in the same connection. Second—I was not & candidate for delegate to the Nationsl Democratic Convention at all, nor was my name canvassed, to my knowl- edge, in that connection—my name was men- tioned to succeed myself on the National Com- mittee. Mr. Dwyer was selected to suceeed me and that action of the delegation has never been criticized by me, nor have I eriti- cized any individual for that set. Third—There is no ““plan’ to *put up Tarpey for v;;:e xolu' urpose of beating Warren lmf- lish,” and “Tarpey being the most available man, is being used by Daggett for that pur- 0se,”” nor is there any *‘plan” to do, or not to 0, anything in that or in any other matter in which I am personally connected, and 1_did ot refuse “to enter the contestexcept War- ren English should support me.” Fourth—I do not believe Mr. Daggett or any other man controls the Demom-at’c State Cen- ;r.-tll g(‘)gz:nnlee. .n‘d %do 1ot believe Mr. Daj ny more to do with my appointment gy‘g)vilhm xuord thau the mmylnm:ge moon Fifth—‘Tarpey was then in a position where be could dictate.” I have not used my position for any purpose other than that to serve the D§mocuue party to the best of my ability without one thought of a versonal a vantage. Sixth—I l}nda uo speech at the conference uylnfl I ‘“‘was in favor of giving them (the Eopn sts) everything they wanted,” or that 1"“ Populists' had been advocates of siiver lmx T than the Democrats, and that as silver s the predominating question at the coming election it wouid do no harm to give the Pop. ulists all they ask for.” There i3 not one word of truth in all the above.
