THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 1896. 16 ' % e MORE SOCIALISTS . UNDER ARREST, Their Silent Open-Air Mass- Meeting Badly Broken Up. SENT OFF TO PRISON. 0:ficer Whelan Secures a Crowd and Threatens to Use His Club. HE MAKES A FORCIBLE SPEECH Mottoes Carried in a Parade After the Seventh-Sireet Gathering Was Dispersed. The Socialists’ attempt to hold an open- air meeting on the corner of Seventh and Market streets was not a success last even- ing owing to the leaders being arrested for disturbing the peace. The whole affair was curious in the extreme, inasmuch as there was no speaking and no demonstza- tion. In fact it was the most silent as- semplage that ever gathered upon the streets. Several weeks ago those in chargeof the Oda Fellows’ building complained to the police that the public speaking of the Sal- vation Army and the Socialists on Seventh street, near the corner of Marker, dis- turbed the lodge meetings in the building. The Salvation Army moved away when directed to do so, but the Socialists con- tinued to hold open-air meetings there and expound socialistic doctrines. This resulted in the arrest of several speakers for disturbing the peace and one was con- victed. The case will be appealed. These proceedings caused the Socialists to determine to see how far the officials would go in breaking up their open-nirI meetings. They decided to hold what they called an ‘open-air silent mass- meeting,” a gathering at which no one was to speak or in any way disturb the peace of any one. | They prepared nearly 100 banners, on which were painted the mottoes and prin- | ciples of the party. Last evening about twenty members of the San Francisco section went to Sev- | enth and Market streets provided with half a dozen torches. In the party was a large sprinkling of students from the Le- land Stanford Jr. University and a couple of professors of that coil ge. Several of the students were ladies, whose dress, manners and general appearance spoke volumes 1n their favor. A small express wagon containing the mottoes passed slowly up and down Seventh street so as not to obstruct the thoroughfare. Albert Everett, the Socialist candidate jor Mayor, William Edlin, 8. Seiler, Mark Leitis, H. Strumsky and others took a banner and marched into the center of the small gath- ering. C. Sunflower stepped upon a small footstool and held over his head a banner bearing the mottoes *To diseuss public matters isa misdemeanor” and “We have been muzzled.” The torches were held so that all could read the inscriptions. Not a word was spoken. The next banner tv be raised read, “This is an Odd Fellows’ idea of a public meet- ing” and ‘{Speakers should be seen and not heard.” Another reaa, ‘‘Free press. Free speech” and “Don’t make a noise. This is the new way to discuss political economy and public matters.’”” This strange, Quaker- like gathering caused a few pedestrians to stop, read and pass on, wondering what it all meant. For ten minutes this was kept up, and the meeting would probably have been a failure so far as numbers were concerned but for the advent of the police. Up to this point there was room encugh in the street for two teams to pass abreast and at least half of the sidewalk was clear and practically unobstructed. Officer Wnelan, who patrols Seventh street, had been lying in wait on the corner of Mission. Hethen forced his way through the smalil crowd up to where Sunflower stood on the box. *‘Come, get out of here! Move on!” commanded the officer in a loud voice— the first voice heard at the meeting. *“Why should I move on?”’ asked Sun- flower quietly. “Because I say so. Move on, I say,” answered Whelan. His voice attracted the attention of those passing on Market street, and in a few minutes he had an audience that blocked the s‘reet and side- walks from building to building. “Come, getamove on, or Il run you in,” re. sumed the only speaker, to which the colored socialist quietly answered, ‘I am not breaking any law by standing on the street. I will not move on.” But he did, in the custody of the pre- vious speaker, Officer Whelan. Suan- flower was taken to the Southern police station and charged with disturbing the peace. Leon Brown quickly took the other's lace on the little box and waved two anners, but said not a word. The crowd waited to see what wou!d come next. It was in the shape of the police patrol wagon and several officers. Again Officer Whelan acted as master of ceremonies, and made his little speech to the silent ex- ponent of socialism. Brown was hustled into the patrol wagon with his banners. By the time the officer returned he found Manuel Botana on the box. The same dialogue and the same result fol- lowed. A. Delaroche next took the stand and then his seat in the patrol wagon. By this time the street was vacked by people attracted by the police and the patrol wagon. Officer Whelan ordered the crowd that he had caused to assemble to disperse, and several socialists protested against moving until he threatened to club them. The outside crowd hooted and hissed, but the socialists called upon them to keep the peace. This was, in fact, the first address made by the socialists. The latter gathered farther down the street, intending to march after the patrol-wagon to the police station, but the driver forced histeam through the crowd and drove down Mar- ket street. A short time later the prison- ers were bailed out, their bail being $20 each. All were charged with disturbing the peace. The socialists who were in line were prohibited from standing on the street, so they marched down Market street, carrying their banners, which con- tained the following mottoes: “All wno love liberty and justice and have hhe courage of their convictions, fall into ne.” “'Soctalism is keeping war out of Europe to Ay . ‘work. " ‘Schemers grow rich, while labor starves.” Save your money and buy a Judge.” Do you vote your interesis?” “The first shall be last and the last shall be the first.” “‘Can capital without labor produce any- thing?” “Society thet allows poverty to exist is doowmed.’” “The harder we work the less we get.” ages for slaves, profits for masters,” When a man is compelled to beg a job is hg free?” ““Try voting for principles, not men.” Capitalisuc charity—stealing wholesale, giving retail.” “Portray your children’s future.” “We want justice, not charity,” , want better conditions, not harder “Landlords, lendlords and profit lords must go.” “Private employment fails to employ.” “Suicide is on the increase.

The Circular With the Mourning Border Distributed at the Socialist Labor Party Meeting. ““Millionaireism and trampism—iruit of the | change in the manner of conducting the same industrial tree.

The students from Stanford, ladies in- cinded, were in the procession. and all were hic{;hl_v indignant at the treatment they had received at the hands of the po- lice. On the Mint steps the speakers gave vent to their feelings and were ¢ eered by the crowd. The sidewalk and street were crowded to tmhe cartracks, and, although several police were 1n the neighborhood, no attempt was made to interfere with the speakers or even to keep the sidewalk clear. JEe e TO TRAIN SPEAKERS. A College of Sociology to Be Es- tablished by the So- ciallsts. A proposition to establish a training school of oratory and discussion, to qualify speakers for the stump and lecture plat- form, was discussed recently at the busi- ness meeting of the literary branch, Bocialist - Labor party, and was unani- mously approved. Similar schools have been in operation in many of the Eastern cities and resulted in developinga corps of able speakers and debaters, who have be- come a potent factor in the movement in the East. The coming campaign, as well as the continuous propaganda work of the party in this City and througnout the State, necessitates the constant use of a well or- %flnized and effective corps of speakers, he school will open for its first educa- tional meeting next Friday night, and will be continued indefinitely. Theodore Lynch of the propaganda com- mittee, announced an address on Wednes- d"k' September 2, by Hon. Frank J. Mu- rasky. Of Interest to Ladies. Mrs. Rossiter and Dr. Dupuis, at their parlors at 807 Golden Gate avenue, con- tinue to treat all facial blemishes, scars, wrinkles, etc., with the most gratifying success. Mrs. Rossiter is the only party on this coast capable of giving the cele- brated thermo-electric treatment, which is absolutely new, and far in advance of any other method. It isindorsed in the most enthusiastic terms by ladies of the highest standing in this City and by physicians. Mrs. Rossiter invites ladies fo cail and ex- amine the evidences of her work performed i this City, and refers by permissiou to Dr. Bryant, 522 Sutter street. ————— Most of the shoes worn in Japan are made of straw or wood. In the entire country there is but one factory where leather shoes are made, business of the association. The members were entirely satisfied with Mr. Curtis. He having decided to go to Japan in the interest of several San Krancisco business houses there has arisen, coincidently with mittee reported that they could have red fire and bombs for the parade to take place in this City at 7 o’clock in the evening of September 8, Grand Marshal Van Orden reported that the parade would be in fourdivisions, in charge of L., C. Pistolesi of S«iti;uma Parlor, John Porcher of Mission, Henry Stern of California, and D. J. Ellis of Chief South 8an Francisco Parlor. 3 Crowley has promised to have a police escort for the procession on its march down Market street to the ferry, all of the officers to be Native Sons. The following is the programme of the celebration at Stockton: September 8—Afternoon, reception to incoming parlors; evening, grand torch- light procession. on arrivalof San Fran- cisco parlors.

W., will have for their guests Orinda Parior, N. D. G. W., and the *“Curly Bears’’ of Alcatraz Parlor will have a big ‘‘growl,”’” which is known in the order as something very elaborately funny. SALARIES TO BE PAID. Treasurer Widber Has Found a Way Out of a Threatened Shortage in Municipal Funds. Treasurer Widber has been lying awake nights to find some way out of the threat- ened shortage in the municipal funds that bid fair to cause many City employes to have recourse to the money brokers dur- ing the next sixty days to get their war- rants and he has outwitted the dilemma. After figuring up the amounts that will fall due on Tuesday, the surplus carried over from last vear and the amounts in the sinking and public buildings funds Mr. Widber concluded that he could bor- row enough from the latter two funds to pay all warrants, including teachers,when presented. This money will be replaced when taxes begin to come in. THE FAIR T0 BE OPENED Speeches and Music at the Columbia Theater Tuesday Night. Many of the Exhibitors Objzct to the High Bandstand in the Pavilion. The Home Products Fair will be opened with a programme of speeches and music at the Columbia Theater Tuesday even- ing, September 1. As the occasion will celebrate the first combination of the Mechanics’ Institute with the Manufac- turers and Producers’ Association for the purpose of showing thé number and di- | versity of California products, sométhing better than.the ordinary is promised in the openiag exercises, which will be as foliows: March and Cortege from “Queen of Sheba” (Gounod); address, President E. A. Denicke; “Torreador and Andaluse’’ (Rubinstein; soprano solo, “Waiting” (Miilard), Miss Jeannette Coleman; introduction to third act of “Lohengrin” (Wagner); Kuickerbocker Male Quartet, “In Silent Mead” (Emerson), D. M. Lawrence, R. P. Evans, D. B. Crane, L. A. Larsen: oration, James D. Phelan, 5 reverie (Vieuxtemps); i2cilation, “At Lox Branch,” Miss Liliian Dhu; overiure, “Nort] Star” (Meyerbeer). A number of the exhibitors have ob- jected to the high bandstand placed in the middle of the Pavilion, claiming that it obstructs the view and is out of place. This is the way the subject has been pre- sented to the board of directors of the Mechanies’ Institute: GENTLEMEN: The undersigned exhibitors beg Lo submit to you that in their opinion the -high bandstand in the main aisie is detri- mental to the best interests of many exhibi- tors and therefore indirectly to the fair in general, and to request you that said band- stand be cut down so that the floor shall not the consideration of the appointment of his successor, some discussion as to whether it is necessary for the present to keep up the existing scale of expenses, which amount to about $800 per month. There is no desire to abandon the iden- tity of the oreanization nor to permit it to lapse so that it would be d .ficult to revive it whenever occasion might demand. At the same time many members think that the Traffic Association may well be com- bined, for a time at least, with the Cham- ber of Commerce, the San Francisco Board of Trade or the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association. Some of the members advocate a union with the Chamber of Commerce, and the employment of Captain William L. Merry, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, as manager. Others favor union with the San Francisco Board of Trade, and there are aiso strong advocates of an alliance with the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association. The main purpose is to save expense and to make the total outlay not to much exceed $150 ver month. To do this the force of clerks. and sten- ographers now employed at the Traffic Association office at 214 Pine street would necessarily be discharged. The whole subject matter will come up for discussion at the regular monthly meeting of the executive committee of the association next Wednesday. The execu- tive committee has power to finally decide what will be done, being empowered by the constitntion of the association with full tontrol of the administration of the association’s affairs. The association had for its first manager Joseph 8. Leeds, who was succeeded by Mr. Curtis, when Mr. Leeds went to St. Louis to take a position with the St. Louis Merchants’ Association. Captain Merry, who may be selected as manager, while still retaining his position with the Chamber of Commerce, has been a member of the Traffic Association from its organization, and was the president of the North American Navigation Company, -vhich for a time man an independeut line of steamers, in connection with the Panama Ra Iroad Company, between this City and Panama, as a part of the through-sea route between San Francisco and New York. THE NINTH ATSTOCKTON Programme of the Admission Day Celebration of the N.8. 6. W. The joinl committee of the 9th of Sep- tember Stockton celebration met last evening at Native Sons’ Hall to hear the reports of the different sub-committees. Eugene Levy, chairman of the room com- mittee, stated that the requests for lodg- ings at Stockton during the two days’ festivities were coming in slowly and 1t behooved those who had not yet secured their lodeings to do so immediately. The chairman of the advertising com- mittee stated that he desired to suspend a banner across Market street, but had been’ informed that such would not be permit- ted by the City authorities. However, he had seen a large political banner stretched over that thoroughfare and he would as- certain whether the Native Sons could have the same privilege. A notice bhad -B)pnred in the news- papers that a $2 round-trip rate haa been secured from the railroad for the members of the order. This was incorrect, as the rate had been secured for all who desired to attend the celebration from San Francisco. Chairman Pistolesi of the parade com- be over two feet above the floor of the hall. Our opinion and request are based on the following considerations: First—The height of the stand obscures al- most completely the view of exhibits from any side to {)eop!e on the other side. This means chat all the exhibits along the main aisle as well as many other exhibits within fifty feet of this bandstand are robbed of a more or less large percentage of visibility and conspicuousness. Second—It has a depressing effect on all ex- hibits in the vicinity, gives the impression that the band 1s more important than the ex- hibits, instead of serving merely to enhance their advertising value. Third—It spoils the effect ot the main aisle, depriving it to a great extent of the sweeping, impressive view tbat would be otherwise ob- tained at the entrance to the hall. Fourth—It will be at best an unsigntly ob- ject as compared with the surroundings, and therefore look out of place; hence it is our firm belief that it should be cutdown so as not so appear a prominent structure, thrown in among and overshmowlnf the exhibits, but merely a slightly raised platform, so that the view of spectators will extend uninter- ruptedly across the heads of musicians to ex- hibits and parts of the hall on the opposite end or side. Knowing that you, gentlemen, are as sin- cerely interested in the success of the exhib- itors as they are themselves we feel thatyou will cheerfully ?rnnt our petition.

KORESHAN TEED HAS RETURNED. He Says Eastern News- papers Have Lied Fear- fully About Him. HAS BEEN DOING RIGHT “Never Broke Up a Family Anywhere in All My Life.” BIG COLONY IN FLORIDA: He Tells of the Progress of the Teed Religion in D.fferent Parts of the Country. Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, the celibate, whose institutions are in Chicago, Florida and other sections, and who had an institution here some three years a:o, since which time he has been in Chicago, arrived here last night and is at the Palace. He left Chicago several weeks ago and has been stopping off in several places on his way west. He claims to have about 100 followers yet in San Francisco and is out to look after them. How long he will stay. he says, is a little uncertain. “I stopped off at Denver, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek, Salt Lake and Sacramento,” said he. *‘I might say a good deal about the progress of the faith [ represent, but the newspapers have treated me so harshly everywhere that I don’t care whether I do or not. “If it is of interest, though, I might say we have a colony of about 200 on the galf 1n Florida and a colony of about 100 in Chicago. Besides these we have little communities in different parts of the country, We have a church in Den ver and several different churches elsewhere. The work is progressing. We have a few people here, and I probably will interest others. “1t is true that we are a religious and commercial community. We believe in the Christian religion; believe that the Bi- ble is inspired. But we are not orthodox. ‘Wedon’t believe as a good many of the de- nominations do. *Of conrse, we are in favor of celibacy for both sexes. We believe it is the key to immortal life. “‘Butif celibacy is a crime, we cannot be wotse than one great church. Still this is regarded as one of our offenses. We haven't quite as much backing, and there- fore we must suffer, I suppose. “Our colony in Florida is flourishing, and I think we will build up quite a town there. It has an excellent harbor, isin an orange belt below the frost line and people are coming there right along to locate and become part of us. We have several mills and other enterprises started. The colony is in Lee County. “We bave two orders. One is called the celibate order and the other the marrtal. ‘With the latter people are united in mar- riage by law and live as they ordinarily do, the children being reared towether. The celibate, however, is a higher order and the people enjoy special privileges. “Itis false to say that I ever broke up I have seen those charges repeatedly in the papers, but they are all untrue. 1 have been charged with break- ing up families.T have never seen. “One man in Chicago, whose wife had been divorced from him for eight years, charfed me with breaking up his family, and [ had never even met his wife. I re- member the same charge was made with other families. All the stories were un- true. ““When I went to the papers they wouldn’t correct them, and Iplel them go. If I had been worth a million dollars in- stead of being poor I would have sued them. They are lies pure and simple that ibey have been telling.” Dr. Teed was engaged in couversation with two ladies who had called to meet him for some moments after his arrival. He is smoo.h-shaven, dresses in black, his firince Albert coat being closely buttoned. is hair is getting a little thin, and in one place baldness has set in. TO PROVs oPiRITUALISM.
