2 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1896. DELMAS DENIES THERE 15 A ROW. Not a Party to Any Legal Scandal in the Lux Case. GOES OVER THE STORY. Says Campbell Hastily Assured | Him of His Friend- ship. GERMAN HEIRS “HAD A KICK. Ridicules the Chronicle Story of the Affidavit as False on Its Face. D. M. Delmas indignantly denies that there is a great legal scandal brewing for | himself and James H. Campbell of San | Jose as pival attorneys for the Lux heirs. When seen last night he said regarding | his knowledge of the affair and his rela- | tions with the interesting case: | In the first place, no row is pending between | James H. Ca ell of San Jose and myself. In order to understand the nature of the pro- sending in Redwood it will be to review the history of the and the connection of James H. Campbell with it. In March, 1887, Charles Lux died, leaving & will by which balf of bis property passed in equal shares to his widow, Miraude W. Lux, and the remaining half, in | practically equal parts, to his five brothers and sisters or their children. John Reynolds, then a. practicing attorney and now Judge of the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, was appointed by the court at | sentation of | rs of Coarles | This included bis f the five brothers and s He continued to represent them from | or April, 1887, until Jenuary 6, 1888, v LUX of “an Jose was appointed he absent heirs. in fact Henrv Lux then made s contruct with Jumes H.

From January, 1888, 1890, & period of two and a half Campbell acted without present on. ract was modified on July 14, 1890, und e terms of which modification the | German helrs conveyed :0 Mr. Campbeil 3-100 | of their share in the estate, with the under- standing that every allowance made to him by the court should be deducted from and cred- ted upon the 3 per cent. Under this contract years, M. rder was made, with the consent of the German , allowing Mr. Campbell $12,000 # vear, to be paid nstallments by the executors of Lux, and the order was made retroactive, so that he should receive this $1000 & month from the time of his first empl yment. nder this order and contract the German s claim that Mr. Campbell has received | $03,000. He admits ha received $88,000, | the difference being moneys that he received | under the contract from the sale o the Buri Buri ranch. When dissension arose between the German heirs aud Jesse S. Potter as executor, Potter refused to make any further payments to Mr. Campbell. Pending that litigation a special | administrator was appointed and during ten and a balf months Mr. Campbell received nothing. He ciaimed that for this perioa hLe was due $10,500 and sought to bave an order made by the court allowing him this sum. The German heirs claim that under his con- tract with them he was not entitled to more than 3 per cent of what they would receive under any conditions, and that the $93,000 he | had received was equnl to or in excess of the | 3 per cent to whicu he was en titled. cou- | tended that the $93,000 plus the $10.500 which he was then sevking 1o obtain would | fall short of the 3 per cent, and further that the payments made under the order of | allowance were independent of the 3 pér cent | Y.’(I\'ldx'd for in his contract with the heirs. being thus wide apartas to the comstruction trac: the German heirs were forced the matter to the court for its de- termination. 1 had beeu employed by the German heirs as counsel for them in all of these matters under & separate contract which was arawn by Mr. Campoeil himseli. When they came to me directing that I should present Mr. Camp- bell’s contruct and the questions arising under it to the court 1 had no option in the matter, but before the petition was filed in response to a letter from Mr. Campbell I wrote to him | fully in regard to the matter on July 29, 1896. The petition was filed by the German heirs on August 8. In the answer filed by Mr. Campbell it was alleged that the proceeding had been insti- gated to further the interests of Thomas B. Bishop 1o revenge himself upon some ects of Mr. Campbell in other matters. Ot this [ have absolutely no knowledge. The proceeding was trought upon the written direction of Mr. Campbell’s own clients and mine. On August 27 when the matter came up for | hearing before Judge Buck at Redwood I stated that Iresented the imputations con- tained in that answer tothe effect that Mr. | Campbell’s clients, or I as their attorney, were | inflenced by Mr. Bishop. Mr, Campbell was | not present in court, but yesterduy I received | from him a personal letter, written entirely by himself, dated August 28, and couched in the most friendly terms, in which he stated that | my remarks had been reported to him and | that he felt deeply regretted thatanything con- tained in his answer shouid have given rise to them, that there was nothing in the matter pending before the court thatshould cause the the least personal feeling, and that nothing had been further from his intention than to impute in any way that I had been moved in the matter except under my auty to our mu- tual ciients. As to the story contained in the Chronicle this morning that I was attempting to pre- vent the filing of any affildavit by Mr. Camp- bell, I can only say that its absurdity is ap- parent upon its face. 1 could not prevent the filing of an affidavit by any one. All that one need do is to present the affidavit to the clerk of the court and tender him the trifling fee and it must be filed. As to the truth of the statement contained in that affidavit as re- ported I know absolutely nothing. I had! never heard of any of the arrangements | spoken of in the affidavits until the Chronicle was handed to me this afternoon. I was never consulted in any such matter. I am informed to-night that James H. Campbell, who, it was reported, made the affidavit, denied ever having done so, or ever baving such an afidavit made or his name connected with any such statement, and also that it is absolutely untrue. Isincerely hope that my information-ou this point is correct. CHOYNSKI WAS A STAR. The Pugilist Figured With Big Actors at the Stockwell Beuefit. L. R.

One of the features of the afternoon per- formance was the exhibition of Joe Choyn-~ ski, 1he recently rejuvenated lion of local pugilism, who punched a leather bag in the most approved style. There were others who did and said clever things, but Choynsk, it must be remembered, recent- ly played to 5000 spectators at fancy prices, and just plain, talented actors have no such hold upon the popular taste. The Frawley company did “The Picture,” a taking = little one-act comedy. “The Rough Diamond’” was staged after the presentation of a number of special indi- vidual features. In it Mr. Stockwell him- self appeared in a humorous character well suited to his personality, and the au- dience clapped its approval. ———————— ABOUT MUSIC. William Xader on Its History and Origin. At the evening service in the Third Con- gregational Churcn last evening Rev. William Rader spoke on music, and said music antedates man, It began with creation. Thousands of years before Rev. | Pythayoras dreamed of harmony ths reeds und forest trees and waves were a part of nature’s orchestra. The highlanders, with a true reverence for this melody, laid their dying under the stars, that they might catch this flood of natural music. _This simple custom contradicts Mr. Hawies’ claim that “music is the creation of man.” The patriotism of men has been esti- mated by music. The “Marseilles” thrilled all France, and “America’” and “Yankee Doodle” have become the language of our Nation. When Jenny Lind sang the “Star-Spangled Banner” in Washington Daniel Webster arose and joined in the immortal hymy until his wife pulled him back into his seat, The Christian faith has been preached by the ministry of music. The oldest scriptures contain fragments of immortal hymns. The “Psalter’ is the oldest hymnbook. The ‘‘Magnificat” and *‘Te 4 D, & Deum,” the doxologies and anthems of the early church, remain to us as the ex- pressions of the deepest life of the soul. HGHBINER IARESTED Lee Gin's Man Takes a Shot at Dang Quong, but Misses His Mark. Two Highbinder Meeting-Places De- molished by the Police—Fears of Anotker War. Lee Gin, a Chinese highbinder, was arrested last evening by Sergeants Wool- weber and Anderson, and was detained | at the California-sireet police station on a charge of assault to murder. About 6 o'clock last evening, while Dang Quong, a merchant and member of the Suey Sing Tong, was on his way to his store, 5 Sullivan alley, he was assaulted by Lee Gin and two followers. Lee Gin was heard to say, at the same time pointing at Dang, “‘There he is, kill him.” With- out warning one of the highbinders drew his revolver and fired a shot at the merchant. The bullet missed, and without waiting to see the effect of the shot the fighting men disappeared in the crowd. Sergeants Woolweber and Anderson were informed and started out to find the highbinders. After a short search they found Lee Gin and placed him under ar- rest. They also discovered that the shoot~ ing was the aftermath of a stabbing affray which occurred in Bartlett alley about a week ago, in which a Suey Sing Tong man seriously stabbed a Bo On Tong man. After receiving this information the sergeants visited the headquarters of the Bo On Tong, 1 Brenham place, and searched the building. A number of knives, revolvers and a large quantity of cartridges were found, showing that the society was ready for war. They also found a coat of mail weighing fully fifty pounds and which would defy the bullets of even a Chinese highbinder revolver. After demolishing this place the head- quarters of the Suey Sing Tong, 742 Com- mercial street, was visited and laid in ruins. The police are confident that a-other war is brewing in Chinatown, but will do ev;ry(hmg in their power to preserve order. e High School Alumni.

The author of the scathing document, C. H. Davies, did not mince matters. There was not even a saving clause in the entire resolution. From a socialistic standpoint it was an aamirable document, full of fire from beginning to end, and reeking with the most courteous abuse the blue-coated guardians of San' Francisco have ever been called upon to face. Nor was this sll. The heads of the de- partment, Captain Lees and Chief Crow- ley, come in for a large share of individual criticism, though their rames were not mentioned directly in the resolution. The meeting was called to order by George Aspden, chairman of the evening. He said by way of introduction that the interference of the police was pobably a good thing for socialism. Such acts would call attention to the party and the princi- ples for which it was fighting. These same tactics had been adopted in other cities with indifferent success at first and finally failure, ps The audience then sang the Marseillaise with great spirit and earnestness, after which 8. Siler, the speaker of the occa- sion, delivered a ringing address on the benefits of socialism. Among other things he said that socialism had become an American institution. He said if the paper which announced yesterday taat the men arrested Saturday night could only look in on the audience they could see that it was American to the backbone. Siler declarea that the Socialistic party was‘a party of peace. “The police are only trying to provoke us,” he said, ‘‘into committing some act so that they can shoot us down like dogs *’ At the conclusion of Mr. Siler’s remarks C. H. Davies gained the floor and asked permission to read the following resolu- tion: WHEREAS, Of late un warranted and igno- minious arrests have been made by a pam- ered and truculent police force: and whereas t is in evidence that peaceable and law- sbiding citizens cannot assemble to voice their just and honest couvictions; and where- as, we are convinced that the basis for the arrests by our obnoxious and hireting police force is not as assumed—disturbing the ace and quiet of a certain secret society— ut is found in the vrinciples enunciaied by the culprits, which are in .opposition to capitalism; and whereas, the boasted liberties of the American people are hourly and daily imperiled when such an_arbitrary act as the suppression of iree speech cun e successfully achieved by such an indoient, detestable and malodorous hoard of 1gnorant sloths us San Francisco’s police force; and, whereas, the virtuous indignation of an honest but indul- gent people should be aroused by the efforts of our insidious and implacable foe—the police force—to further curtail our liberties for reasous entirely at variance with equity and justice; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the Socialist Labor party and iis sympathizers and all lovers of liberty, condemn and denounce in measured but un- mistakable terms the dastardiy and cowardly actions of the poiice for their arrests of last night and in the near past; also be it . esolved, That it is the sense of this meetin; that persistent efforts be made and pushed to a victorious conciusion to sustain our consti- tutional rignt to induige whenever and wher- ever we deem it fitting and proper our right of {ree speech, and invite all lovers of justice and fair play in all walks of life, independent of color, sex and creed or party affiliations, to aid “i- m our getermined efforts to establish that right; an " Hesolved, That we deplore & condition that necessitates unworthy surveillance of honest and upright citizens by an ignoble gangof brutes masquerading in the guise of conserva- ors of public weal; and be it further Resolved, That the press of this City be fur- nished with a copy of these resolutions for pub- lication. Hardly had Davies concluded reading the resolution when cheer upon cheer was sent up by the excited audience. Chairman Aspden quickly submitted the acceptance or rejection to the people, and only one man of the 500 present voted agamst it.. He endeavored to explain his position by declaring that tae Poiice Judge who haa sentenced the Socialists should be condemned and not the policemen, who sumply - carried out the instructions of their superiors, Sl S VIEWS OF SOCIALISTS. Particlpants In Saturday Night's Silent Meeting Disgusted With the Authorities. The Socialists are highly i1ndignant over the results attendine their attempt to hold an open-air meeting Saturday night. They declare with much earnestness that the police are persecuting instead of pro- secuting them. The officers go out of their way, they say, to antagonize them in their constitutional right of free speech. ‘Whether this be true in fact or simply an assumption based on observation is not clear, but the developments at the meeting held yesterday afternoon seem to verify the position. Socialists to the num- ber of thirty or more had gathered at the corner of Grant avenue and Market street. Hardly had the first speaker, Charles D. Sunflower, uttered a dozen words before a great crowd gathered about the stand. The sidewalk was fairly well filled, though not sufficiently to hamper in any way pedestrians. Officer J. M. Heard was on duty at this particular point and apparently experienced no difficulty in keeping a.clear passageway. When the second speaker, George Speed, mounted the platform it was observed that Officer Heard wus becoming nervous. Finally he rushed across to a cigar-store and telephoned to headquarters for in- 73 C SUNFLOWER. 1 S D 2 i structions. Just what instructions were given is not known, but the officer went directly to the Hammam Baths and, it is claimed, begged authority to arrest the speakers. The stand, by the way, had been placed airectly in front of this insti- tution, hence it was necessary for the management to protest in order to make arrests legal, It so happened that the pro- prietor was absent ard no one present ap- peared willing to authorize the arrest of the alleged offenders. A colored clerk finally told the officer to clear off the steps, but not to adopt violent measures. Potice- man Heard had his authority. Without stopping to clear the steps as authorized, he pushed roughly through the crowd and informed Speaker Speed that he must stop instantly. “I have only one more word to say—I am nearly done,’’ protested Soeed. *‘That is all right,” replied Heard as he placed his hand on the speaker. ‘*You must stop now or I will arrest you.” Without another word the Socialist stepped from the stand, and then some one suggested jthat it be moved to the oppo- site side of the street. This was done, and for more than an hour the speakers, un- interrupted, harangued an audience of more than a thousand on the needs of the hour from a socialistic standpoint. ‘“Last night our speakers were arrested and cast into prison for holding a silence meeting,” said C. H. Davies. *“To-day we hold another public meeting, this time giving utterance to our sentiments, and we are simply required to move from one side of the street to the other. This shows conclusively that it is a matter of police persecution and not legitimate prosecu- tion. We have rights and we propose to exercise them, though we are practically satisfied that justice is not to be had in the police courts. The juries there are pledged to _conviction, but thank God, there are higher tribunals, and we feel confident they will interpret the law justly and honestly. _The men arrested Saturday night are in- dignant over the action of the authorities. *'I consider that they exceeded their au- thority,” said Oliver Evegets, Socialist candidate for Mayor, yesterday. “Our desire last nifint was to_test the sincerity of the Odd Fellows, who had protested against noisy demonstrations. e think the result “shows that they were not honest in their position. We don’t pro- pose in future to be muzzled. We will maintain the right of free speech at all ha: Ido not see how an intelligent jury can possibly convict us. Heretofore juries have been against us, though whether through ignorance or prejudice Iam not prepared tosay. There will be a different ending this time, for there are higher courts in California.” T. F. Burns, president of the Labor Council, was among those arrested Satur- day nig}:t‘. In explaining the occurrence he said yesterday: : * “I was not speaking, neither was I at- tempting to speak. I was standing on the east side of Seventh street and there were perhaps 150 people in that immediate vi- cinity. Suddenly the crowd shifted to the west side of the street. I went over and saw a policeman endeavoring to make two ladies getout of the street. The officer failed to intimidate the ladies. I was prob- ably seven or eight feet away when the po- liceman turned to me and ordered me to move on. I started to move on, butI didn’t happen to move as fast as he thought I should, whereupon he ordered me to move faster. I replied thatI was perhaps the best 'Endgc as to how fast I wanted to move. Thelellow then grabbed me by the shoulder, and, drawing his club, said, * — —— you; Iwill knock your brains out.’ I replied that I knew he was anxious to use his club on me. I was then carried. to the station and charged with obstructing the street. I have no particular comment to make at this time except 10 say that it was an outrageous, high-handed” proceeding. =We have the law on our sideand I am sure that an hon- est court will so decide.” TURNED FROM THEIR OLD PARTY Will No Longer Cast Their Ballots for Democ- racy. SOUND MONEY THE ISSUE Two of Berkeley’s Town Board Turned in Favor of Mc- Kinley. DEMOCRATS FOR 20 YEARS. Professor William Carey Jones and John Martin Speak in Favor of Republicanism. BERKELEY, CiLn, Aug. 30.—Two of Berkeley’s most prominent citizens and members of the Board of Town Trustees, who have voted the Democratic ticket for the last twenty years, have declared them- selves in favor of McKinleyism and will vote the Republican ticket at the coming Presidential election. They are Professor William Carey Jones, head of “ne depart- ment of jurisprudence at the State Uni- versity, member of the board from the Second Ward, and John Martin, a promi- nent San Francisco business man and rep- resentative from the Fifth Ward. Both men are members of families that have long been distinguished for their staunch adherence to the Democratic party, and both have never before felt the least inclination to turn from the political paths followed by their ancestors. But they say that the issues of the present campaign are such as will amply justify them in breaking the long chain of pre- cedent forged by their ancestors. Professor Jones, who has been more or less prominently connected with the ad- ministration of affairs in Berkeley for the past six or seven years, having served a previous zerm of office on the Town Board, while determined to vote for McKinley in November, says that his official position in the university will not admit of his making a statement as to why he has turned from the Democratic party further than that the financial policy of the Dem- ocrats does not suit him. “A man in my position,” said Professor Jones to-day, “isin a dilemma to know what to do when he has the interests of his university on the one hand and the interests of his country on the other. He cannot speak with absolute freedom for fear of criticism on the part of those who might mistake his views given from the standpoint of a private citizen for those of a professor of jurisprudence in a State institution. “ ““It is most unfortunste for the Nation that the present money question has tobe so_insanely contested as it is. Some men think one thing to-day and another to- morrow. Certainly affairs are in a great turmoil. While I have an honest respect for Democratic principles 1 cannot sup- port the issues they now have before the people of the United States.” Trustee John Martin when interviewed this afternoon was very outspoken in his views, and stated concisely his reasons for laying aside the party of his fore- fathers and the party he has supported since the nomination of Hancock, for Mc- Kinleyism. Mr. Martin has_been known as one of the strongest Democrats in Berke- ley, having organized, four years ago, the first Democratic club at Lorin, which cast a vote of 68 for Cleveland as against 63 for Harrison in the last election. “The Democratic party,”’ said be, ‘‘has not carried out the principles under which it'was founded. especially with reference to the tariff. Instead of providing revenue enough by the tariff they deliberately pre- pared a bill for the purpose of decreasing the revenue and then attempted to make up the deficit by’Busing an act to collect an income tax. Thisincome tax was de- clared by the Supreme Court to be uncon- stitutional, and then we were left without Professor William Carey Jpomes of Berkeley University, Who Has Be- come Converted to Sound Republi- canism. a means to pay our national indebtedness. The party in 1896 advocated a measure for free coinage, the passing of which wilt prove disastrous to the entire Nation and will create monopolies never thougnt of prior to this time, and much more vicious in character than heretofore existing. Be- lieving it necessary to maintain the credit of the%overnmant and to create an honest dollar with which to pay our workingman for his services I deem it my duty as a citizen to support the Republican National platform. i “I favor a Government which will col- lect more revenue than is necessary rather than oxne that will collect less than is needed. With a shortage in the National treasury, what are we to do in_time of war? Iam satisfied without peradventure of a doubt that the next President of the United States will be the advocate of sound money, and that advocate, as mat- ters now stand, is William McKinley of Ohjo.” The Republicans of Lorin will havea grand rally av Lorin Hall, Alcatraz avenue, to-morrow evening, at which Trustee Martin will give in detail his views with relation to the financial ques- tion and his further reasons for leaving the Democratic party. Amon%a the other speakers of the evening will Hon. Wil- liam Lair Hill and Hon. 8. P. Hall. Ttis ax‘rcled also that Congressman Hilborn will be present and give expression to his views.

Under the present unorganized system of labor about the grounds and buildings much time and money are lost. “Some of the emploves have grown to believe that the university cannot get along without them, and in consequence have been taking life easy. Regent Rein- stein remarked to me the other dav thatit took two men half a day to move one plank 100 yards. Though it will cost con- siderable to get a suitable man to look after the carpenters, gardeners and jani- tors, yet we believe that the appointment of such a man will be economical in the long run.” Regent Reinstein sent over from San Francisco last week McCallum, superi tendent of Golden Gate Park, McLaren’s first assistant, to look into the situation and make a report.

They found that the bids were about $14,000 in excess of the $250,000 appropriation.
