THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1896. BARNEY FARLEY'S EXAMINATION, That Is, Joe McAuliffe Was Sounded By Dr. Barrett, WEIGHS 222 1-2 POUNDS. Vast Difference in the Way His Trousers Fitted Once and Now. PROVED PHYSICALLY PERFECT. Results of the Rigid Examination McAuliffe Was Put Through by the Physiciaa. Joe McAuliffe is in perfect physical con- dition for his fight with Choynski. Such was the verdict oi Dr. J. 8. Barrett, City autopsy physician, delivered at his offices yesterday afternoon. A party, composed of McAuliffe, Barney Farle oung Mitchell’” and a few news- paper representatives, went up to Dr. Barrett’s office with the express intention of learning if Joe’s losing sixty - four pounds in about two months had materi- ally interfered with his health. Asfaras the skill of the physician can determine, it has not. ‘‘How tall are you, Joe?" queried the examiner. “Exactly 6 feet 31§ inches,” was the re- ply. “‘How much do you weigh ?” “Just 2221¢ pounds. I was weighed this morning. “That's what he does,” chipped in old Barney delightedly. ‘“Joey is all right so far as weight goes.” Then the physician began 10 measure the fighter's chest. - He was made to stand Eerrectly erect and follow directions in reathing. At the close it was announced hat at forced respiration Joe’s chest easured 39 inches, at forced inspiration 43 !inche:, and at normal breathing 42 inches. he next step was to tap the giant over ungs, heart and vital organs. Finally stethescope was applied. During tais ocess old g:mey hung round like a ardian angel. heart sounds, respiration and ulse beats are normal,” announced the octor, *“and the pulse beats seventy-five times a minute.” ‘What is that you say, doctor?” said Barney anxiously, edging a little closer. , verything is all right,” was the an- delivered with a grin. e beatific expression thatsprung into ence on Barney’s face was a pleasure witness. He chuckled, rubbea his ands together, shook hands all around, and then wanted to go out and treat. As his protege’s physical examination was not over, this was considered highly inex- pedient. “Ah, but I knew when I had Joey run those nine or ten miles a day it was going to put him in shape,” said the veteran irainer, “‘and here lately I have reduced the distance to six or seven.” | The measurements of the biceps muscle | of the arm extended was given at 133 | inches; flexed, 15){ inches; forearm, 13 | inches. Both arms measured exactly the | same. i The thigh measured an even 25 inches, | and the calf 17 inches. Most wonderful ot 11, the waist measurement was only 36| res. Thisis a pointer to those who w the big fellow two months ago, when his paunch was simply a human bay-win- dow. As his waist was measured, Joe laugh- | ingly caught his trousers by the waist- | band and held them away from his body. The cavity thus formed was large enough to drop a fifty-pound sack of flour in. I"I‘hey used to fit me tight,” he ex- plained. After going over McAuliffe carefully the cian announced that his liver was and all organs in a normal condition. make no discovery of abdominal ons,” he asserted, ‘“‘and obtain nega- tive results from a urinary examination. I might sum up my examination by stat- ing tnat I find McAuliffe’s physical con- dition as nearly perfect as man can be.” The words were hardly out of his mouth when Mitohell warningly laid his hand on Barney’s shoulder and told him to keep c0ol. The look on the faithful trainer’s face showed that he would probably have grabbed Joe and delightedly hugged him if the words had not been spoken. Here one of the party expressed a desire to see Joe's reach, so DFf™Barrett kindly measured him. The result was almost stunping. From finger tip to finger tip McAuliffe measured exactly 803/ inches— 6 feet 83{ inches. He could stand with hi: back on a central column between large folding-doors and touch the buter joint of each one at the same time. McAunliffe’s perfect condition is wholly due to old Barney’s indefatigable efforts to bring him into form. Choynski will go through an examina- tion to-day. 10 LOVGER A CHPTH, Downing of the St Paul Loses His License as Master and Pilot. to hi Supervising Inspector Bermingham Gives Some Good Advice to Other Captains. Captain Downing of the wrecked steamer Bt. Paul is without legal license or title. This was decided in an opinion handed down by the Supervising Inspector of Hulls and Boilers yesterday. After reviewing the testimony oi Cap- tain Downing relative to the course and speed of the vessel Captain Bermingham says: “It was still foggy, but he thought he could see 2 long way. The ship was all the time going at full speed, and, without at ény time geiting a cast of his lead, she took the rocks and became a wreck at 11:10 ». . The testimony of Captain Downing as to the course steered is largely corroborated by his third officer, J. J. Coleman, who had charge of the deck watch from 6 p. 3. up to the time the ship took the rocks. The court at this point reviews at length the testimony of Quartermaster Wilson and then comments rather severely on the statement of the master: The court is of the opinion that the St. Paul encountered a current between Point Sur and Point Cypress,which retarded her speed by the land, possibly & mile and a half between those poinis; in no other way can her final position be accounted for, judging irom the course tes- tified 10 as having been steered at10:35 P.

What was the result? Another ship piled upon the rocks, from which, fortunately for the safety of the lives on board. she did not the St. Paul was valued at about $100,000, and her cargo at $15,000; that her loss was occasioned by the negligence and unskillfulness of krer licensed master and i C. Downing, who, besides violatin ection 4233, United States Revise Statutes, by runping his ship above a moderate | speed in'a fog; therefore itis hereby decreed | that the license of said J. C. Downing as master and pilot be revoked, and he is hereby for- bidden to exercise the duties preseribed in his said license. 1t is not unappropriate for $he court to state, for the information of licensed masters and pilots, that it is & common remark in the office of the local Boards of Inspectors of steam vessels here that, if masters of wrecked steam- | ers took a tithe of the pains in keeping their ships at a safe distance from ganger that they subsequently do in their examinations in explaining how they ran ashore, there would be fewer disasters of the kind. JOHN BERMINGHAM, Superyising Inspector Steam Vessels, First istrict. SHE SIGNED IT AWAY. How Miss Maud Smith Lost Her Sev- enty-Five Shares of Stock to Leroy Harvey. In the trial of the case of the people against Leroy Harvey, begun yesterday morning before Judge Bahrs, Miss Maud Smith, the complaining wit- ness in the charge of embezzlement, told her story of how she parted company with seventy-five shares of Oak- land gaslight and heat stock. She says that Harvey was an old friend of the fam- ily; that one day in March, 1894, he came 1 SOCIALISTS WERE HELD GUILTY, A Police Court Jury Is Against Open-Air Meetings. DISTURBED THE PEACE.

Many hundreds of people, men and women with strong opinions as to their right of free speech, were interested spec- tators in or about Judge Conlan’s court The Defendant Listening to His Attorney’s Address to the Jury. to her mother's residence at 2226 Jackson street and said to her (Miss Smith) that he had a ereat favor to ask of her; that some Eastern capitalists with whom he ex- pected to have large dealings were com- ing to San Francisco and he was very de- sirous of presenting a good appearance in the business world; that he had only some real estate to make a showing and that he did not think it enough. The > agked was that Miss Smith should sign dver to him temporarily her shares of stock that he might exhibit it as his own. The witness said that her mother demurred to this greatly, but that Harvey finally persuaded her (the wit- ness) to consent, against her mother's ad- vice. She signed the certificate anad it never returned to her. The case is still on trial. —_— THEIR HOMES BROKEN 0P A Young Wife Who Objected to Her Husband Studying So Much. The Customary Lodger Who Won the Affactions ot the Land- lady. A divorce was granted to James J. Walsh from his wife, Minnie B, Walsh, vesterday by Judge Hunt. The couple were married only last October. The cause of complaint was extreme cruelty, The vlaintiff is a young draugbtsman, He testified that his'wife complained that be was (oo studious and that he did not take her out enough; that she neglected their home and that he frequently went out to look for and found her in sa- loons; that he would take her home and urge her to do better; that she would admit that he wus a good husband to her, but that she found .it tiresome at_home, with him studying all the time. He ex- plained that it was for her benefit as well as his own that he desired to advance him- self, but the explanation did not have any eff]ect; she grew more and more neglect- ul. Andrew Brill was granted a divorce yesterday from his wife, Effie. The cause was a simple case of desertion. The minor child was given into the custody of the plaintiff. The case was bei. e Judge Murphy, John F. Wood, a mechanic living on Clara street, filed an answer and cross- complaint to petition for divorce entered by his wife Lillian. The wife had ac- cused the husband of cruelty. Wood de- nies this, and in his complaint says he lived happily with his wife until 3 few. months ago, when Joseph Murdock was taken into the house as a lodger. They were then living at Vallejo, where Mur- dock still resides. He found a letter ad- dressed to his wife from Murdock, and this started the trouble. They then moved to this City. Since then his wife has more than once left him, declaring she was goingto stop over night with a certain lady friend. He learned on each of these occasions, by means of the telephone, that Murdock was in San Francisco. Also he learned that his wife did not stop with her lady friend on either occasion. On one occasion she stayed away from home seyeral days and during her absence he met Murdock on Grant avenue and they quarreled. He also alleges that on one occasion he saw his wife entering a lodging-house on How- ard street in company with a man named Barlow. He followed and took her home. He makes no direct allegati that his wife has been unfaithful. % A Window Smasher. Fred Btein, a young man, is fond of jail life, and to enjoy it he adopts the plan of smashing windows.

The defendant and seven other mem- bers of the Bocialistic Labor party were arrested on the evening of the 15th inst. while holding a public meeting on Seventh street, near Market. The offense with which the prisoners was charged is but a misdemeanor in- volving only a light fine in the event of conviction, but the principle involved— that of a citizen’s prerogative of giving free utterance to his speech—rises so far above all other considerations that attor- neys, politicians and men in every walk of life were interested enough in the pro- ceedings to remain about the City Hall even after nightfall to learn the results. Juetice of the Peace John A. Carroll, acting as Folice Judge instead of Judge Conlan, who is on the sick list, presided. R. H. Lloyd was special counsel for the prosecution with Attorney J. J. Coffey. Attorney Guilfoyle represented the de- fense, it being understood that the cases of the eight defendants would stand or fall upon the jury’s verdict in the Costley case. Some forty talesmen weré examined be- fore the jury was selecied, the challenged jurymen being principally members of the Odd Fellows or other fraternal socie- ties. The twelvechosen men were: C. A.

Aune. party, also testified in the same vein as defendant, and the prosecution, to save time, agreed that the forty odd other wit- nesses would also testify in a like manner. The prosecution waived the opening address to the jury, and the case was sub- mitted on orief arguments. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence will be pronounced this morning. THE MORE ESTATE ROW. The Suspended Executor Explaing Why He Should Not Be Punished foe Contempt. Jokn F. More went before Judge Cof- fey yesterday with affidavits of himself, his attorney, Thomas McNulta, Frank M. Whitney and others by way of explaining why he should not be punished for con- tempt of court in not presentingan in- ventory and other accountings of his stew- ardship, as_executor, over the estate of Alexander P. More. The orderwasmade at the time More was suspended as ex- ecuior and his sister, Elizabeth Muller, wis appointed special administratrix. He states in his affidavit that Mrs. Muller took possession of the property on Santa Rosa Island, began shearing the sheep and otherwise prevented him from fulfilling the order of the coart. An order was made by the court vacat- ing the order of June 23, authorizing the special administratrix to hypothecate wool. An order denying a motion to va- cate the order of July 21, authorizing the special administratrix to sell wool and some 60,000 mutton sheep. ELECTRICITY FOR GAS. Supervisor Hirsch Will Suggest That This Substitution Be Made on Folsom Street. A private letter from the Folsom-street Improvement Club has been filed with Alphonse Hirsch of the Street Lighting Committee of the Board of Supervisors, petitioning his influence in procuring the substitution of electric lights for gason Folsom street, betweeu Nineteenth and Second. Mr. Hirsch said yesterday: *I will pre- sent this matter at the next meeting of the Street Lighting Committee, which oc- curs on September 21. According to the figures of the Folsom-street Improvement Club gasis far more expensive than electric lights wouid be. ‘‘At the same time the cost of removing the gas lamp posts and putting up the electric lights would amount up seriously. I am, however, moroughly in harmony with the proposition, and shall suggest the substitution at the next meeting of the committee.” LIGHTS TO BE SHUT OFF Gas Inspector Newman Reports on Many Useless Lamps. The City Will Save Several Thousand Dollars a Year by the Change. If the recommendation of Chris New- man, the municipal gas inspector, is adopted by the Board of Supervisors the City will save from $14,000 to $15,000 on its gas bills within the next two years and 160 useless gas lamps that have been burn- ing for years past will be dispensed with. Some time ago the board passed a reso- lution instructing the gas inspector to look into the matter of gasconsumption and report instances where lamps were 110flicers P. Whalen and Edward O’'Day, the complaining witnesses, as well as the arresting officers, testified to the numer- ous complaints that had reached them as to the disturbance caused on Seventh street by the socialistic meetings. They told how they had informed the defena- ants they must move on, but that they re- fused to do so. “The defendant was not personally abu- sive,” the policemen said, “‘neither did any of them use obscene language. But they roundly upbraided the authorities, Judges, juries and Police Department for having convicted one of their brother so- cialists for speaking in the open-air meet- ing held at Sixth and Folsom streets.” Ex-Judge Louderback, 8. M. Wycoff, C. M. Q’'Neill, F. W. Warren and Andrew J. Cleary, all directors or officers of the Odd Fellows’ Hall Association testified to having tbeir peace disturbed by the social- istic meetings held from time to time on Seventh street, opposite their building. They deniea having any particular dislike toward the socialists, as the Salvation Army soldiers bad been quite as annoy- ing. But the soldiers never hesitated to move away when told to do so, while the socialists have resisted all appeals to that end. The defendant took the stand in his own behalf. He told of his occupation as a coachman for Mrs, A. Morgan, He said that on the nighc of his arrest he was a member of the Socialistic Labor pariy’s campaign committee and the chairman of the meeting which the police interrupted. - § unp?oaed Ihad a right to speak at the meeting,”’ said the witness. ‘I introduced the speakers and believed th? had aright to speak. Therefore when I was told to stop and move on I refused to do so. “The object of the meeting was to ex- und the doctrines of the Socialistic }:bor party, and nothing objectionable so far as Janguage goes was uttered. Some of the speakers were men whom we hope to have placed on the legal ballot as nomi- nees from our party.’” for Oliver Everett, an architect, and E. T. ) Kingsley, two prominent members of the burning in proximity to electric lights, the idea being to dispense with those that were not really needed. In- spector Newman has made a thorough investigation of thé matter and the re- sults of his labors were embodied in a re- port rendered to the board yesterday. He stated in his communication that from 150 to 160 gas lamps could be shut off without material damage, the electric lights in the aifferent neighborhoods being amply sufficient to give the necessary light. In a_ very few instances the gas Jamps were 150 to 175 feet from the electric lights, the large majority being within 100 feet. The districys most affected are those furthest re: d from the center of population, and ‘the inspector states that he does not think that the service will be the least bit the loser. Each one of these lights costs the City 1234 cents per night, und the saving, in case the report is accepted, will go far to eke out the street licht fund for the next two years. e . MRS. JOHN T. FARRELL DEAD. Dr. Robert Macbeth Charged With Her Marder. Dr. Robert Macbetb, Grant avenue and Sutter street, was booked at the City Prison yesterday afternoon on the charge of murder. Mrs. John T. Farrell of 20 Henry street, upon whom he is sccused oi criminal practice about a month ago, died at her resi®ence early yesterday morning, and he; was taken to the Morgue. Dr. th ggcnml in denyineg any knowledge of the woman. He said he first heard of her when the officers placed him under arrest.” In April last year the doctor was ar- rested on 2 similar charge, the victim be- ing Mrs. Catherine Quinn, but he was acquitted. — e ——.—.

Candidates for Congress fo Be Rechosen by the Fusionists. BOLSTERING UP MR. SEWALL, i’opulish Thronghout the State De- clare That They Will Not Vote for Sewall. ‘The conference committee from the Peo- ple’s party, the Silver party and the Democrats held a session 1n the Calitornia Hotel heaaquarters yesterday afternoon, and formulated thé following plan of ac- tion on the suggestion of John 8. Dore. It will be seen that the plan provides for the kicking out of George W. Monteith, Populist candidate for Congress from the First District, in spite of any claim he may bave on the office, and despite the fact that a candidate nominated regularly by his district convention ecannot be legally removed by his State Central Committee against Lis consent to smit the pleasure of a corporation so powerful as is the South- ern Pacific Company. The following is the full text of the plan as adopted : SAN FrANCIsCo, Cal., Aug. 24, 1896. To the Joint Conference Committee of the Demo- cratic and People’s Parties and of the California Silver Campaign Committee—GENTLEMEN: Your sub-committee to whom was assigned the duty of preparing & plan having in view the union of the parties- represented in this joint con- ference committee on one candidate for Con- gress in each of the Congressional distriets of California, having considered the same, sub- mit the following: WHEREAS, The controlling importance of united action on the siver question, the re- funding of the Pacific railroad debts and the building of the arogosed Nijcaragua canal (to the end that the wishes of a large majority of the people of the State of Calilornia a8y be obeyed), appeals to the patriotism of the peo- | ple of all parties, and demands the exercise by them in general, and particularly by those be- nmfm. to the Democratic party, the People’s and silver organizations—all of whom agree on these subjects—of an unseltish devotion to principle rather than men or parties,and to the general welfare rather than to spe- cial " interests or favorea classes; and whereas, the omens shadowea across the path- way ot the Republic described by the immor- tal Lincoln when he said: “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me .and causes me to tremble ior the safety of my country; &s a result of the war corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor (o prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the Keo‘ple until all wealth is aggregated in a few ands and the Republic is destroyed; I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of the war,” are no longer conjectures, but living dangers. Di- vision of the people’s power, as expressed at the ballot-box, as he feared, has prevented and will continue to make impossible needed re- forms in methods of administering the fiscal affairs of the nation and 1n the readjustment of the unequal conditions produced by the legislation of the Republican party, benefit- ting the class interests at the expense of the masses. Minorities introduced behind such laws dictating the financial destiny of the country have by reason of lack of harmomy baffled the efforts of a patient people to secure the free and unlimited coinage ol silver and meet their aspirations to be gov- erned by laws based on the principle of “egnll nxhtstofllhndnpnclnnflv‘fie es to none;and whereas, & large majority of the citizens of California favor the free coinage of silver, the building of the proposed Nicaragua cansl, and are unalterably opposed to the refunding of the Pacific railroad debts; and whereas, any course of action by either the Democratic, the People’s or the Silver organization which will maintain and foster a division of said ma- jority for any cause, personal or othgr, thereby inviting deiéat, while these importaut issues are hanging in the balance, would in this erisis be guilty of inexcusable' folly and merit universal contempt; and whereas, the success of the issues so intimately connected with the general welfare of the Nation, and particulariy affecting the people of our State, not only re- uire the election of Hon. W. J. ryan to the Presidency of the United States but also the election—the election or a major- ity of the House of Representatives in the ¥ifty-fitth Congress that would support his ad- ministration; and whereas, by the exercise of prudent self-sacrifice and in the spirit of mu- tual concession, it is certain that unity of ac- tion will secure & delegation of seven Congress- men from California who will vote as one in harmony with Mr. Bryan and in favor of the principles herein enuneiated. In order, therefore, that divisions may be avoided and that & union may result in each of our Congressional districts on one candidate for Congress, and setting aside for the time being all personal or party differences or pref- erences, do join in the following plan and recommend its adoption: In view of the foregoing, it is by the Demo- cratic party, the Peovple’s plrlr and the Cali- fornia Silver Campaign Committee, each rep- resented by its dulyaccredited committee, Resolved and declared: L That each of said parties hereby pledges itself to use all honorable means to produce a union of the respective organizations in sup- portof the candidates mutually agreed upon &s herein provided, That & committee of fifteen members, com- posed of six members of the Democratic party, six members of the People’s party and three members of the Californis Silver Campaign Committee, shall be appointed by the “!m tive parties on the 25th day of August, 1896, which committee shall be called the Joint Congressional Conference Committee. L. ‘That said joint committee shall not later than Saturdsy, August 29, 1896, meez at the Lick House in the City of San Francisco and immediately effect an organization.

That no action taken by such joint commit- tee shall be valid for any purpose unless ap- proved or sdopted, by & two-thirds vote of all the members composing the same, and pro- vided that in the selection of candidates for Congress 1t shall be necessary that two-thirds of each separate committee comvosing said oint committee shall agree on each candidate fore the joint committee recommends such union candidate. o That representation or voting by roxy shall not be allowed. \ VIL That 28 soon as said joint committee has organized, it shall proceed without delay to carry out the objects of this plan.

THE DOG IS SICK. . Judge Low Has to Continue a Cage in Consequence. The unusual spectacle of a dog clogging the wheels of justice was witnessed in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning, George Thackeray, who lives at 3439 Twenty-second street, owns a valuable bulldog and John Williams and Willlam Farrar, his neighbors, are the joint posses- sors of a fine setter dog. One day last week the setter poked its nose through a hole in Thackeray’s fence and_the buildog promptly seized the inr}nlsitive nasal ap« ndage of the setter in its deathlike grip. illiams and Farrar, hearing the howls of the setter, rushed to its assistance armed with a cleaver and slashed the buli- goix over the face to make it releaseits old. Thackeray wes indignant at the mutila. tion of his bulldog and swore to com- plaints against Williams and Farrar, charging them with cruelty to animals. When the ‘case was called yesterday it was announced that the bulldog was too ill to appear in court, and the Judge granted a continuance till such time as it would be able to make its appearance.
