10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1896, PALACE HOTEL AB. SPRE(KELS Five of the Cups Which Are Offered This Year by the Horse Show Association of the Pacific Coast. WANT IDLE CAR TRACKS TORN UP, Wheelmen Discuss Radical Ways to Improve the City. NEW LEAGUE'S PLANS. Nominees Must Declare For Reforms to Get the Cyclers’ Votes. WHEELS MUST GO AS BAGGAGE Good Pavements and General Good Government to Be Aimed for by the Riders. The recently formed Wheelmen’s Munic- ipal League met last night at the head- of the San Francisco Road Club, ted ultimately to make the power of ers felt as a great political force in All the large cycling clubs of Francisco were represented. The league will work as a strictly non- partisan organization, bent on securing not only smooth pavemests and impartial | legislation, but good government in all the pranches of municipal business. That article 1 the constitution provid- ing for an executive comntittee of nine members to transact executive business was stricken out by a vote of the meeting. J. 8. Conwall, chairman of the execu- | tive committee, presented a report em: bodying the following recommendations: First—That the Wheelmen’s Municipal League indorse oniy such nominees for the State Senate and Assembly as will pledge themselves to support a bill declaring the bicycle to be baggage. Second—That the committee be empowered to invite each nominee in the Assembly and Sen. atorial districts of the City and County of San Francisco to appear before the executive com- mittee of the Wheelmen’s Municipal League and express himself as to the Armstrong bill and all other measures of interest to wheel- the Wheelmen's Municipal endeavor to secure the nomination and election of such municipal officersas will e of benefit to wheelmen Fourth—That the executive committee be empowered to nominate officers, such nomi- nations to be subject to the confirmation of the association, and that it be the object of the league to secure the indorsement of these nominees by the nominating comventions, such nominations to be consistent with the decision of the ' Stpreme Court in the case | now pending. When the report was taken up for dis- cussion only the first clause, that in regard to legislation declaring the bicycle to be baggage, was adopted, and the other mat- & | ters were reserved for future consideration. | W. L. Maule, chairman of the committee on additional membership and crsdentials, advised as to the methods to be pursued in enlisting the ‘co-operation of ‘the many hundreds of cyclers not attached to any of the clubs. The report as a whole was adopted. T. B. McGinnis for the finance and aud- iting committee submitted a report rec- ommending that the league work for the passage of the Armstrong bill declarin bicycles bagzage; appeal to politica parties and not to individual candi- dates; to eecure pledges from po- litical parties to have new, smooth pavements laid where old basait and cob- ble pavements are now being repaired at considerable expense; to strive to have all street railway franchises forfeited where the tracks are not used and to have the tracks removed and such streets put in re- pair; to demand an immediate change in the plans and specifications of street work | as now performed; to strive to have the park lighted by electricity, perhaps em- ploying, and at small expense, the power- ful machinery already in use for pumping purposes during the daytime; and to show the public that the league is working not only for good streets, but for good govern- ment generally. It was also suggested that inasmuch as San Francisco is already well covered with streefcar lines, all streets not now covered by a franchise be forever preserved from the introduction of tracks and be main- tained as smooth driveways. The management of the Mechanics’ Institute Fair sent word that Friday, September 4, has been set aside as bicycle night. Chairman Frank H. Kerrigan accordingly appointed the following com- mittee to take charge of the programme for that evening: H. F. Wynne, J. W. McGuire and W. B. Faucett. Among the reasons assigned by the officials of the Southern Pacific for im- posing a tariff on bicycles crossing the ferries and to near-by points is that they are subjected to frequent and annoyinely small demands for damages to bicycles injured in transit, and the idea of chary- ing for the transportation of wheels is to indemnify the company for these claims. ‘When this excuse of the monopoly was brought to the attention of a gentieman who has been in the habit of frequently using Huntington’s trains to return from bicycie trips he expressed surprise that such a flimsy and peculiar excuse should be put forward to justify what he terms a bit of petiy and ‘absolutely unjustifiable imposition. ‘‘Few wheelmen who take a train back from a po:nt like 8an Jose,” he said, “‘care sbout twenty-five cents additional ex- pense, but they will resist this tax to the lden Gate avenue, and took steps cal- | utmost of their power, not for the saving they expect to effect, but owing to the gross imposition that they copsider this proposed charge to be. Personally, I con- | sider this departure of the Southern | Pacific Company a very impolitic one and | one that will occasion a loss of revenue | | instead of ah increase. It will also add to | | the unpopular sentiment existing in i reference to this corporation. They would | have done much better, both pecuniarily | and politically, had they, instead of im- | posing additional annoyance on wheel- | men, arranged their baggage-cars so that | wheels would be properly cared for during | transportation. As they run things now, the wheels are tumbled into the baggage- | car just as if they were bales and boxes of freight, and no wheel that is once entrusted to the mercy of a Southern Pacific baggagemaster ever comes back to its owner without being scarred and scratched, if not actually damaged. “If they would only provide racks or | hooks so that bicycles could be safely | stored in a car, few, if any, woula demur to paying a small additional fee for the carriage of wheels, but they could well afford to provide such accommodations and not charge a cent for the transporta- tion of bicycles, for such a move would 80 popularize the road that the increased | patronage would soon more than recoup the small expense entailed, and every one who rides a wheel would call them blessed | instead of cursing them, as isnow the case. | “But the most outrageous thing in this | new move is to charge for carrying wheels | across the ferries and to th2 terminais of the local trains 1o Oakland, Alameda and | Berkeley. This entails no extra expense | on the company, nor does it impose any additional labor on the empvloyes con- nected with the ferry or train service. Whoever has had occasion to bring his bi- cycle from one side of the bay to the other | knows that he carries tue machine aboara | the ferry steamer and leaves it wherever he can find a convenient place, and that | he has to load it into ahd unload it from | the basgage-car without even the proffer | of xid from conductor, brakeman or bag- gageman, though one or the cther may be | | looking on and grinning with gratification | over the awkward efforts of the inexpe- | rienced wheelman to perform the duty | that properly belongs to a trainman. “General Hubbard, when he wasout here, expressed surprise at the anpopu- larity of the Southern Pacific Company in | this State. This latest development would be an object lesson that would open his eyes on the subject. Here is an instance | where everything was being done to in- commode and annoy patrons of the road who use a wheel, and when complaint is | made, instead of seeking to remedy the evils complamed of, the sore is made to | smart the more by a new imposition and | a new source of aggravation. “So far as I am personally concerned, | their action will prove a source of loss to | them. We are usually a varty of seven or eight on a Sunday, and we generally bring | up at San Jose. Hereafter instead of re- turning by the Southern Pacific train o | San Francisco, we will ride to Alviso, and | | there take the boat to the City, and we | shail give our patronage, as far as possible, | to the roads which operate in Marin County. The roads there are good and the railroads are accommodating.” GRAND HRNY CHPERS, The Pacific Coast Veterans De- parted for St. Paul Last Evening. San Francisco Miy Have the 0id Solaiers in 1898—Past Hospitality Not Forgotten. Representatives from the Department of California to the Thirtieth National En- campment, Grand Army of the Republic, which will be held this year at St. Paul, Minn., took their departure last evening on the 7 o’clock train by way of Portland. The party consisted of Department Com- mander T. C. Masteller, Comrades T. K. Stateler, John P. Roberts of San Fran- cisco;J. N. Guinn, A. H. Johnson, Ed- ward W. Clark and wife, Los Angeles; Commander Turnbull, Atkinson and Smith of Oakland; H. H. Richmond of Auburn; D. H. Coats and wife of Camp- bells, and J. D. Barnett of Santa Rosa. At Portland the California representa- tives will be joined by the commander of the Department of Oregon, his staff and others; at Spokane ' by those from the department of Washington, and at Hope by the delegation from Idaho.. The Mon- tana representatives will augment the Pacific Coast delegation at Butte, the whole forming an unusually largze body of representative veterans. { The encampment will open on Monday next and continue until Friday, Septem- ber 4. The headquarters of the Pacific Coast veterans will be in Stee’s block. Some time !ago the posts in Southern California determined to appeal to the National Encampment this year - to authorize a division of two departments in this State. This feeling has been over- come, and the project of the Southern California veterans has been aabndoned. There will be a strong contest for su- premacy between the East and West for commander - in - chief. Comrade T. S. Clarkson of Nebraska is the only candi- date of prominence from the West, while Eastern comrades will put forward Com- rades D. R. Ballou of Rhode Island and John R. Lineban of Connecticut. An- other' candidate may be Rear- Admiral Richard W. Meade, U. 8. N., retired, who is being strongly advocated by Lafayette Post No. 140 of New York City. Another important matter to be decided is the question where the encampment for next year will be held. Buffaloand Balti- more are most prominent in the battle, but no matter which place is selected, there is a general desire on the part of Eastern and Southern posts to hold the encampment for 1898 in Ban Francisco, the generous hospita:ity of her people in 1886 being still in their minds, : -——— | year.

Inducements - Are Now Offered for Pacific Coast Bred Horses. AGENTS VISIT COUNTY FAIRS. i In Some Classes No Preference Will Be Given to Horses With Trimmed Tails. The horse show, which opens on the 9th of next December, promises to be the best which has yet been held on the Pa- cific Coast. Every effort 1s being made to induce different classes of horse owners to exhibit. Agents of the association have toured the country, visiting farms and ranches as far north as Puget Sound. The county fairs are all being watched for ex- hibitord, and as especial inducements are offered this year to Pacific-Coast-bred horses, the probability is that there will be a Jarge increase in the number of ex- hibitors. A number of cups are offered this year, and it is expected that there will be more before the date of the show. Five hand- some cups, being made by Shreve, are just about completed. In the thoroughbred class the Pacific Coast Jockey Club offers for the best two- | year-old colt a silver-gilt cup, studded with amethysts. A. B. Spreckels offers a silver | cup for the best performance of an ama- teur in driving a four-in-ltand through ob- stacles. This cup was not offered last Among the other cups, not offered last year is the Robert F. Morrow chal- lenge cup for the best four-in-hand Pacific Coast bred horses, to be shown before a coach, break or wagonette, no preference to be given to horses with docked or trimmed tails. This cup must be won two years in succession by the same ex- hibitor before becoming his Eropertv. and in the meantime it is to be held in trust by the association. In the trotting class the Shreve silver cup is offered for the best stallion, four years old or over. The Palace Hotel, in class 17, donates a silver cup for theg best pair ot driving horses, The foliowing scale of points will govern in judging class 17: Each horse, 25 per cent—350 per cent; the pair, 20 per cent; wagon, 10 per cent; harness, 5 per cent; robes, blanket and whip, 5 per cent; general appointments, taste, etc., 10 per cent; total, 100; speed not essential. The cups, the designs for which are not yet accepted, include the John Braibury cup, new this year, for the best perform- ance of an amateur in driving a tandem through obstacles; the California Jockey Club cup for the best jumper, perform- ance over fences only tocount; the George A. Pope cup for the best pair of horses ex- ceeding 15 hands 1inch, to be shown be- fore a brougham or victoria, horses to count 50 per cent and the appointments 50 per cent. The H. J. Crocker cup is offered for the best polo pony, fourteen hands and under, manners and handiness to be especially considered. To secure this cup owners or amateurs must ride. The Joseph D. Grant cup is offered for the best team of two or three-Fire Department horses, to be shown to regular fire engines. Thiscup is to be Won two years in succession. It is expected that the class for Pacific Coast bred horses, which is new this year, will add considerably to the interest of local owners. In this class no preference will be given to horses with docked or trimmed tails. Last year it was found that owners of livery-stables were deterred from exhibiting by the fear of having to compete with wealthy owners, like Walter S. Hobart. This year there is a livery class, in which no preference is shown to horses with docked or trimmed tails, as livery-men complain that docking or tnlmmmg a horse's tail interferes with its sale, It is expected that the class for horses and ‘delivery wagons will add a pictar- esque feature to the snow. The horses are to be shown before an appropriate deliv- ery or express wagon, the horse to count 60 per cent and the wagon and apvooint- ments 40 per cent. In the class for horses in harness the rules have peen changed in a way which will obviate the possibility’ of one horse sweeping the whole thing. Among those who bave already secured private boxes for the coming show are: H. J. Crocker, C. A. Spreckels, George A. Pope, George A. Newhali, John Parrott, C. de Guigne, James D. Pheian, W, H. Crocker, Charles F. Crocker, Mrs. Charles Baldwin, Mrs. C. W. Crocker, R.J. Wil- son, G. W. Prescott, Timothy Hopkins, J. D. Grant, E. E. Eyre, Mrs. E. L. gfl . B.

Censured by a Coroner’s Jury for the Deaths of Netchen and Murphy. Richard Sherlock, nurse at the City and County Hospital, was formally charged yesterday by a Coroner’s jury with criminal negligence m the cases of David Netchen and Thomas Murphy, who were accidentally killed a few days ago by being given a deadly poison instead of & draught of medicine. The management of the County Hospital was also severely censured, and recommendations made that certain rules be more rigidly enforced. It will be remembered that on the after- noon of August 21 Sherlock left his ward in the care of a patient with instruction to fiive certain inmates their medicine at the ours named on the card. During the afternoon the.temporary nurse Netcher and Murphy a dose of wh ;s)resumed was the regular med hortly after this the two men were | violently ill, Nechter dying that nigit Murphy the following day. Prior to thus, however, it was ascertained that the men had been given cocculus Indicus, a deadly poison. After hearing the evidence in the two cases the jury returned the following verdict: And we further find that the said poison in both cases was administered by one Mr. Malla- bar without eriminal interest, and we further find that the nurse, Richard Sherlock, is guilty of criminal carelessness and negligence in leaving the ward before being relieved by a professional nurse or some one equally com- petent. And we further find that certain rules of the City and County Hospital are not properly enforced. A. L. Piper, foreman; Claus Jacobson, V. J. Fell, Joseph G. Cox. A. C. Elder, John A.

The Board of Election Commissioners decided yesterday not to interfere with voting of the inmates of the Almshouse, in spite of the protests of Attorney Ruef, who said that he represented the Repub- lican party. This claim was not taken very seriously by the Commissioners, in view of the fact that T. J. L. Smiley has been the recognized champion of the party since the active preparations for the cam- paign began. Attorney Ruef said that it was the duty of the Commissioners to strike off the names because the constitution of the State read thatno person should be deemed to have gained or lost a residence by reason of being an inmate of the Alms- houyse. Under that rule, he contended, the paupers were not entitled to be regis- tered from the Almshouse precinct. City and County Artorney Creswell stated that he thought it was a matter for the courts to decide and that in order to give the petitiouers for the measure a chance to test it he would move that the matter be left in its present state. At this point Max Popper, who repre- sents the Democratic State Central Com- mittee, said he desired it to be understood that the Democracy joined in the request. He added that if the rule should be fol- lowed the Republicans would lose many votes at Yountville. ““We don’t take that view of it,”’ said Ruef. “Well,” said Creswell, ‘“‘aslong as this matter has assumed a political aspect, I will withdraw my motion.” ‘The motion allowing the paupers to vote was passed unanimously. . P. Grace, representing the Labor party, appeared before the commission and demanded that the arty be given Tepresentation on the election boards, claiming that it was as much entitled to recognition as the People’s party. he Commissioners took another view of the matter, however, and after reading the law t6 Mr. Grace and assuring him that the votes cast by his party would be fairly and impartially counted, refused to grant his request. The Registrar reported that he sent out forty citations to persons who were sus- pected of having registered xllefitllm but that only tnree had responded. As the citations were on postal cards, there was no eyidence that they had been served, and the commission therefore decided not to strike the names off the register, but to send out second citations by special delivery, . ———— M'CALLUM AT REST. Funeral of the Late Frat Officer of the Steamer Gipsy. The remains of Charles McCallum, first officer of the steamer Gipsy, were laid to rest yesterday afternoon in Odd Fetlows’ Cemetery. Long before 2 o'clock, the hour set for the funeral, Memonal Hall, in which the services were conducted, was filled with sorrowing friends of the de- ceased. The services were under the i“apiees of Golden Gate Chapter No. 204, Several hymns were sung by the Knickerbocker quartet. The casket was completely hidden beneath the many floral offerings, the principal one being an immense broken wheel sent by the crew of the steamer Gipsy. The pall- bearers were selected from California Har- bor No. 15, A. A. of M, and from Golden Gate Chapter No. 204. ; Lightning is most destructive in level, open count. Cities, with their numer- ous projections and wires, are compara- tively exempt. UNION PAINTERS WIN A VICTORY, School 'Department Work Will Be Done by Them in Future. DIRECTORS UNANIMOUS. | Tne Board of Education Rejects - Several Unsatisfactory Jobs. MR. MURDOCK'S RESOLUTION. 4 A Proposition to Curtail the Appoint- ment of Teachers V-gorously Opposed. The union painters of this City won an important victory when the report of the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Education was adopted at the meeting last evening. Some time ago the painters sent a com- munication to the board stating that the work that was in progress on sixteen buildings belonging to .the department was being done by non-union labor snd in a slovenly and entirely unsatisfactory manner. They asked that the matter be investigated, and that, if possible, it be given union men. The matter was referred to the Build- ings and Grounds Committee and that body reported last evening. The report stated that the grounds of the union men were well taken, and tha* the work was not being done in a satisfactory manner. The recommendation was made that in future all big contracts be given to firms employing union men, the time of labor being limited to eight hours per day. Attached to the committee’s report was a communication from the architect of the department stating that of the six- teen contracts let four had been rejected and ordered done over because the work was badly done, and that the twelve re- maining unfinished would be kept under a close watch to see that the work was ac- cording to'specifications. The report was adopted unanimously. The matter of teachers’ appointments was discussed by the bunrg Director Murdock oftered the following resolution: Resolved, That in view of the curtailed ap- propriation no new classes be formed in either day or evening schools, unless they can be provided for by consolidation, and that no fur- ther appointments of teachers be made, ex- cepting to fiil vacancies occasioned by death or resignation. Directors Knox and Clinton opposed any such measure vigorously, saying that the department should not be allowed to suffer in its progress because of alack of furds. If the schools must be closed be- fore the end of the school year let the blame fall where it belonged, on the shoulders of the Board of Supervisors. *‘8an Francisco,” said Director Knox, ‘s already behind the other great cities of the country in its school facilities and we must not allow the impression to zo abroad that we cannot properly educate our children. We must have teachers for branches that are demanded by the exi- gencies of modern education. If the Supervisors choose to cut down our ap- propriation and cripple our Department let them stand the brunt of the storm of public wrath that will certainly fall upon some one.”’ It was decided to lay the mat- ter over for two weeks to allow some of the directors to look more closely into the question. i 2 The Classification Commiitee reported as follows: That five] elasses have been consolidated in the Lincoln Evening School, one class in the Washington and one 1n the Lincoln Grammar School ; that the Franklin Evening School now contains five classes, the Fairmount Evening School three classes, Mission Evening School two classes; that one class has been trans- ferred from the Crocker Grammar School to the Dudley Stone Primary Scnool; that a new clase has been formed in the Richmond Primary School; that & new sixth grade class has been opened in the Crock r Grammar School; that on August3 onecl sswas con- solidated in the Irving Scott Primary-School; thatone class was consolidated n the Emer- son Primary School. The committee also recommended that Miss K. H. Crowley be transferred from the prin- cipaiship of the Richmond Evening School to the same position 1n_the Horace Mann Even- ing School ; that W. J. Gorman be transferred to the Fairmount Evening School, Rosella La Faille to the Franklin Fvening School, Miss Abbie Hurley to the Franklin Evening Echool; that Miss Eliza L. West be assigned to the substitute class; that Miss Lillie Me- Mahon be transferred to the Franklin Evening School; that A. J. Hunston be as- signed to the Franklin Evening Schooi; that Miss Sophie Athearn Dbe trans- ferred to thc Mission Evening School; that Miss Mary Moran pe transferred to the Dudley Stone Primary School; that Miss Aimee Hirstel be transferred to the Crocker Grammar School; that Miss Mary C. McKinney be assigned to the new class in the Richmond Primary chool, The following transfers were also recom- mended: Miss L R, Brown to Hamilton Grammar School, Miss J. N. Sykes to the James Lick Grammar, Miss Margaret A. Bur- nets to the Lincoln Grammar School. It was recommended that the high school class in the Horace Mann Evening School be discontinued and that the teacher, George Bates, be transferred to the Franklin Evening School; thet the high scnool class in the Wash- ington Evening School be discontinued and the teacher, Miss Jennie Powers, be trans- ferred to the Lincoln Evening School to in. struct the class of Miss M. H. Jones during her absence; that the high school classes in the evenin, 7 School building be e i sy he SRranosia Pratique’s by ul Bercy as & text book, and that Mrs. Mary M. Fitzgerald of the day substitute class be as- signed to the San Francisco Normal School as assistant teacher at & saiary of $83 per month. On Director Barrett’s motion Miss Mary Murphy was transferred from the Jeffer- son Primary School to the principalship of Le Conte Primary Schoo! and Miss Pauline Hart from the Rincon Grammar School to the principalship of the Jeffer- son Primary School. Miss M. J. Wolf was elected a regular teacher of the depart- ment. —_— PAINTERS STILL ALIVE. Journeymen Will “Hold a Mass~ Meeting Saturday Evening. The union painters did not hear of their victory before their meeting adjoun?ed last evening. The schoolhouse question was brought up, and it was decided to send a communication to the Building Trades’ Council requesting that body to ask the Board of Education to make an examination of all the schoolhouses. The union offers to send a committee with the board to show where slopwork has been done on nearly every schoolhouse. Tt was decided to hold a special mass- meeting on Saturday evening to show the boss painters that the union is still alive and will contest every attempi to cut wages, which, it is rumored, the bosses bave threatened to do. entertainment is being prepared. The meeting will be held at 115 Turk street. Last evening the union issued its first manifesto to the public. In the letter which is addressed particularly to house- holders, it says: The large Lolders of J)roperl_y are deceived through architects and certain agents who have control of all repairing and renovations. They generally have & certain party do their work; for this the painter boss must give up ar; profit to the agent,and to make up the Bifference, he uses inferior material or puts on one coat less than is called for. * * The above does mot apply to all master painters, agents or architects, for some men in these branches are endeavoring to act justly. The following are the ingredients of paints used by many men cailing themselves master painters: They are lye, water, whitening, putty, coal oil, fish oil and a great deal of ben- zine, or what is called “'66,”’ or “French turp{},” by some, 50 a8 not to give the fraud away.
