CHARGES THAT WUST BE PROBED Judge Buck of Redwood Wishes the Affidavit Investigated. THOUGHT IT NEEDLESS. J. H Campbell's Attorneys Ob- jected to an Inquiry Delay- ing the Cass. SHARP THRUSTS EXCHANGED. D. M. Delmas and Patrick Reddy in the Course of Argument Cross Swords Vigorously. The little courtroom at Redwood City was crowded yesterday morning, the time set for argument on the legality of Judge Buck’s order revoking the allowance to J. H. Campbell of San Jose of a monthly fee of $1000 for services rendered the German heirs. It was pot because the people of San Mateo were particularly interested in the fate of Camuvbell’s stipend, however, that they were in attendance. The alleged affidavit of J. H. Campbell, vrinted lasc Sunday, seriously reflecting upon the integrity of Judge Buck, Judge Fitzpatrick and T. B. Bishop directly, and indirectly involving other interested par- ties in the great litigation, has caused in- tense excitement in the little city. Judge George H. Buck has presided over the Su- perior Court of San Mateo County for fourteen years, and during that time his ermine has remained free irom the taint of scandal. He has risen to the judiciary from a humble avocation by untiring in- dustry, and his friends in the county are le%ion. t was for this reason thav the little courtroom was crowded. The spectators believed that this publication was to be discussed. Ana discussed it was. Briefly, it is true, but with a warmth and vigor that allowed no room for complaint on the pert of the courtroom spectators. Patrick Reddy and Joseph C. Campbell appeared as attorneys for J. H. Campbell of San Jose. D. M. Delmas represented the German heirs who are seeking to have J. H. Campbell’'s monthiy fes as their attorney reduced. ‘When Judge Buck called the matter of the estate of Charles Lux he was prepared to act summarily in the matter. He stated that as there had been some talk of corruption in the public press he felt some hesitancy in trying it. He would prefer 1o have some other Judge try the issue. Joseph C. Campbell expiained to His Honor that they felt perfectly satisfied to have him try ibe case. The only article which had appeared charging corruption was in the Chronicle, and that article had not been verified. Mr. Delmas did not agree with Mr. Campbell. He thought the court should be relieved so that the matter could be in- vestigated. The charges could be and should be investigated, he declared. *I knew nothing of the matter until Sunday afternoon,” he explained, “when I was shown a copy of the paper, which con- tained eharges of a most heinous charac- ter, charges that involved even the court ben the battle was on. Reddy de- nded warmly if the courts were to be lyzed simply by the appearance of an e in some public print. If courts were thus to be impeded he thought they might as well close the courts and be ie with it. *“We are not called upon to any charges,” he said. *‘No charges ve been made; no affidavit has been filed. We urge upon the court to proceed upon the hearing of this case.’’ Mr. Delmas stated that he himself knew of no such affidavit, butthat a party whom he has no reason to disbelieve told him ely that he had seen such an affi- u say that you know who wrote is affidavit?” asked Reddy. ‘I do not say that I know who wrote it,” rp rejoinder, “but 1 say that I ieve I know who wrote it, and if you who I believe wrote it I will yoa, sir, and tell you instantly,” - Mr. Ready did not pursue the inquiry urther. If the gentleman will state that he never made such an affidavit,” continued Mr. Delmas, *‘the matter wiil end. Ocher- wise these charges must be investigated.”” Reddy declared they did nol want it to end. They wanteda trial. He demanded of Delmas who the man was who had told him he had seen an affidavit. Mr. Delmas responded that hedid not have to be catechised by Mr. Reddy. “I am not catechising,” declared Mr. Reddy, excitedly. “Who is this man? ‘What is his name ?” “What is your name, sir?” asked Del- mas, turning squarely toward Reddy. “My name, sir, is Reddy,” was the re- tort. “I have no reason to be ashamed of my name.’’ Judge Buck prevented further personal- ities by a few soothing remarks. His Honor was visibly affected that charges of corruption had been brought against him. “l have been in this county for over twenty-one years,” he said. ‘I have been honored by the electors for fourteen years and never before have been charged “with corruption or anything bordering on cor- rupiion. Possibly in campaigns gone by people have said such tuings, but I have never heard of them. If these charges are true I would not be qualified to sit in this or any other court.” As long as such expressions have appeared in a morning vaper I would not care to have the hear- ing of the cuse.” Judge Buck then postponed the hearing until next Saturday with the understand- ing that Mr. Delmas wiil file an affi- davit of the person who claims to have seen the document in dispute. The Court said he would then issue a citation for the person who had signed it to appear and show canse why he should not be pun. isned for contempt. Judge Buck will again be before the peo- ple for election this year, and is partic- ularly anxious to have the matter investi- gated at once. THE DETECTIVE WAITED Willlam McFarland, Collector for a Dairy, Disappeared by u Back Window. Frank Robb, one of the managers of the Milbrae Dairy Company, swore toa com- plaint in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday downlown with him to see al trouble McFarland had with M?&u;n:‘;:: tor Dockery. McFarland told the detec- Uive to wait till he cuanged his clothes. The detective waited for nearly an hour, and when he went in search of McKarland {fi’g\u:dr that the collector had dropped ‘ear windo T b W to the ground and Captain Lees was notifled yesterday morning by Robb, who was lgvised to swear out a warrant for Mclkarland's ar- rest.. The total amount of McFarland's alleged defalcation is not known, but it Wwill not exceed $200. E BATTERY UPON A BOY. William Webber, a Baker, Convicted by Judge Conlan and Will Be Sentenced Tuesday. Willlam Webber, proprietor of the Golden Gate bakery, 26 Sixth street, ap- peared before Judge Conlan yesterday to answer a charge of battery upon Harry Chow, a boy 8 years of age living at 459 Jessie street, The evidence showed that several boys had a row in front of Webber's store a week ago. Webber chased them and caught Harry Cbow. He got the boy’s head between his legs and punched his face so hard that the marks were plainly visible yesterday. The Judge found Webber gailty and ordered him to appear for sentence Tues- day, fixing his bonds av $500. The Judge on Tuesday will also heara charge of battery preferred by Mrs. Web- ber against Mrs. Chow. Mrs. Webber, after the assault by her husband upon young Chow, called upon Mrs. Chow and talked to her severely about threatening to have her husband arrested. Mrs. Chow wanted to end the discussion and pushed Mrs. Webber aside and Mrs. Webber had her arrested for batiery THE 0L RFE CLU Thirteenth Annual Banquet of That Social Associa- tion. With Merriment, Viands and Smoke the Fourteen Remaining Members Spend the Night. The San Francisco Pipe Club, one of the most unique social organizations in this country, held its thirtieth anniversary banquet last night in the rooms of mine host A. Becker at 14 Third street. Thirty years ago a handifui of convivial spirits, all Germans, were in the habit of meeting in one of the then rare beer sa- loons of this City. On one occasion a charitable action had to be periormed ana it was decided that those present should form into a olub and auction off the worst looking pipe that they could find, the pro- ceeds to go to the charity. ‘Without searching very far a most beau- tiful “dudeen” was discovered—beautiful in its absolute ugliness and as malodorous as any pipe that has ever brought a house- wife 1o the verge of desperation. The bidding was fast and generous and the old pipe, which originally never was worth more than a few cents, brought $50. To-day that pipe could not be purchased at any figure from the club in whose room it still hangs in a proud position. How many members have passed away since the organization, thirty years ago, can hardly be estimated, as records were not kept very regularly until the last dec- ade, but that makes no difference to the present fourteen members. Thoy venerate their departed brothers, and no banquet takes piace but they are represented at the foot of the table by a grinning skull, a clay pipe between the teeth and stuck in a big porcelain vase an “‘aquarium” of beer. In addition to this, lasc night the skull was surrounded by thirty lighted wax tapers. The officers of the association are: E. Emmrich, president, his official title being *Over Pipe’’; Louis Dannheimer, vice- president; H. Schoene, keeper of the pipes; C. Wilhelm, treasurer; Edward Zeit- fucus, secretary. Dr. Malech, who is sometimes called “Menelick,” has been appointed *-Poet Laureate.”’ One of the distinguishing features of the club is that ever since its organization there never hus been a card turned for fun or for gambling, a die thrown or any sug- zestion of the kind in the rooms. Aside from the members who enjoyed the impromptu menu last evening were: Dr. H. Lozsas, J. N. Mertens, Dr. Malech, N. von Rosaum, Major A. yon Guglingen, Colonel R. de Clairmont, C, Wilhelm and Dr. W. Hatteroth. The guests were: Dr. C. Becker, J. Burgin, Hans Veroni and L. Beck. (NSURANCE MEN UNITE General Managers Have Almost Reached an Agreement on Rates. A Meeting Tuesday to Finally Settle the Question Now Before Them. ‘What is regarded by fire insurance men as the most satisfactory meeting of gen- eral managers since the old compact was dissolved was held yesterday forenoon at the underwriters’ rooms, California and Sansome streets. The utmost secrecy has been observed regarding this meetfng, and all that could be learned directly about it from those present isthat the managers are now uearer than ever before to a set~ tlement which can maintain rates on fire insurance at a profitable standard. Several preliminary meetings were held during the past two weeks, but with so much secrecy were they surrounded that bhardly one insurance man occupyinga subordinate position was aware of what the general managers were doing. Yes- terday’s conference became known only through a word dropped in one of the leading clubs, when 'a_manager excused bimsefi for burrying off from'a convivial party of bis friends. The managers were surprised to learn that talk of their quiet proceedings had reached the street.” They declined to dis- cuss the subject, but made it evident in many ways that prospects were partica- larly bright. Ve made extraordinary strides toward the establishment of a new com- pact,”” one of the general managers said. “In fact things never looked so favorabie for all of us coming together. I really cannot say more than this, be- cause we are all pledged on our honor to secrecy. There will be another very im- portant meeting on Tuesday next, and that will tell the tale.” *“The proposition is to agree on rates, so charging William McFarland with forgery. McFarlend was collector for the com- pany and he is accused of collecting and altering the bills. The particular instance charged in the complaint isthat of R. Bern- stein, 1439 Golden Gate avenue. The bill originally sent to Bernstein was for $27 10, but it is claimed McFarland reduced it to $4 10 and collected that amount, the pre- vious amounts having been collected by him but not paid into the funds of the company. The case was put into the hands of Curtin’s Detective Agency, and one of the men went to the dairy Friday night. He told McFariand he wanted bim to go that they may be placed at the old stand- ard?"’ he was askea. “Not at all. There is nothing left to raise rates on, as nearly all the business has been written for two or three years ahead at low figures. Rates will never be so high as they were, that is certain. Onl: we hope to establish a schedule which wtfi be profitable.” It is the general belief of insurance men outside the compact members that home offices in the Eul and E glana. having grown tired of losing mouey here, in- structed their local representatives to unite for mutual protection. e e Good morning, have you read Thomas Siater's advertisement for men on page 327 F 1S SPACUS FEW GUARTER Continued Progress of the Steck and, Bond Ex- change.

Judge Campbell Loans a Prisoner Two Dollars to Get a Li- cense. Judge Campbell distinguished himself yesterday morning by making two young hearts beat as one, and it only took §2 to accomplish his object. Robert McClusky, an employe at the Union Iron Works, appeared before the Judge to answer a charge of be[.r.yal under promise of marriage. The girl in the case was Sarah Brown, who lives with her parents at 102 Michigan street. Sheis only 16 years of age. . When McClusky stood up as his name was called the Judge looked at him through his spectacles foraminute. Then his glance rested upon the young girl and turned again upon McClusky. “Why don’t you act like a man and marry the girl?” he said to McClusky. - “I am anxious todo #o, Judge,” replied McClusky. “Will you do it now?” 4T will, but I haven’t the money to get a license.”” “That'll be all right, my boy,” said the Judge. *I willlend you the money and you can pay it back whenever you are abie.” The Judge handed $2 to McClusky, and, accompanied by Policeman Coughlin, Me- Clusky went to “Cupid”” Danforth’s office and procured the license. They returned to the court, and the girl’s parents were sent for and Justice of the Peace Kerrigan was notified to be in readiness to perform the ceremony. After the girl’s parents arrived the two were soon made man and wife and went away together. Edward Pollitz, Vice-President. R. G. Brown, Chairman. Daniel Meyer, Treasurer. John Perry Jr., President.

Covers were laid for fifty or more, Messrs. Albert Gerberding (president of the Produce Exchange), W. C. Morrow and President Harrington of the Merchants’ Exchange being among theinvited guests, and for two hours all thonghts of securi- ties and business were put aside and the time was devoted solely to fraternal sociability. President Jobn Perry Jr. delivered® an address of welcome and Chairman R. G, Brown acted as toastmaker. Following is a list of the toasts: *‘TheStock and Bond Exchange,” responded to by Vice-Presi- dent Edward Pollitz; “The Press,” by Edward 8. Spring of the Daily Re- port; “Our Guests,” by Al Gerber- ding of the Produce Exchange. Then followed a number of impromptu, wiu{and enjoyable speeches and songs, in which Messrs A, C. Hellman and A. 1. Langerman were especially felicitous. Wine flowed freely, the atmosphere was filled with the aroma of fragrant cigars, daily cares were forgotten and everybody was oblivious 10 all save the pleasures of the hour. For many years past the Stock and Bond Exchange, organized in September, 1882, by leading 8an Francisco brokers, for the express purpose of dealing in local securi- ties, mining excepted, has occupied a small corner room on the second floor of the Merchants’ Exchange building. Its increase in membership and patronage has necessitated a change and now it is domiciled in spacious and convenient new quarters on the south side of the building, adjoining on the norih the rooms of the n Francisco Chamber o Commerce. It isanart of the old boardroom formerly tenanted by the San Francisco Stock and Exchanee Board. The mnew room is 22x40 feet, with high, arched ceilings, and three windows on the south side which admit plenty of light and sunshine. The walls and ceilings are colored in warm tints and a wainscoting or quartered oak ruus around the entire length of the room. The callers’ d-sk, at the west end, is of polished oak and the members’ chairs, of the latest design, are arranged in thgform of a horseshoe. For visitors ther ample seating accommo- dation. The approach to the room, from the main bail, is through a vestibule ana an anteroom, paneled with primavera wood and contamning hatracks, etc. Tre price of seats, which was originally $50, has since advanced to $2300, and the total transactions for fourteen years amount to §87,000,000. Coxuservatiye in its policy, the exchange bes been instrumental in bringing abont a better understanding between capital and labor, and by smooth- ing the way to investments has materially ni§en in the business prosperity and de- velopment of the City. 4 Following is the list of officers and members of the Stock and Bond Ex- change, as at present constituted: John Perry Jr.; vice-presiden oliitz; chairman, k.

Goode and Gannett Obliged to Use Ropes and Alpenstecks. Sulphur and Smoke From the Moun- tain—The Recent Qutburst Merely a Rockslide. Richard U. Goode and Henry Gannett of the United States Geological Survey arrived here yesterday after several months in Idaho and other partsof the Northe west. On their way down they went to the top of Mount Hood with the idea of estanlish- ing a triangalation station there, but found that the smoke from surrounding forest fires was so dense as to make>ihe idea impracticable. They went to the town of Hood River, on the Columbia, by boat, and then took a buckboard coach and saddle horses by way of Cloud Cap Inn. They proceeded onward to the snow line, climbing the mountain on foot, as is necessary for a good portion of the journey. The gentlemen were there at the time of the alleged outbreak of stones and ashes, but say that all it appeared to have been was simply a rockslide. There are loose piles of rocks along the great mountain in many places, and the moving of any one of these, which occurs frequently, causes scores of tons of rocks to be dislodeed and go clattering thou- sands of teet away, This lfipelrs to haye been about all the Mount Hood outburst amounted to. However. there is and has been for a great many years, so Messrs. Goode and Garnett state, smoke and sulphuric emis- sions irom the mountain. The air is at times very strongly impregnated with the smell of smoke and sulphur. “On tne upper part of the mountain there was a good deal of ice,” added Mr. Goode, “and in places the mountain dipped at an angle of about forty-tive de- rees. It was so steep that it was quite angerous, and we were obliged—three of us, with the guide—to rope ourselves to- gether and proceed very carefully with alpenstocks in hand. “We had hoped to be able to establish a triangunlation station on_the top, and would have done so, and made some triangulations, but it was impossible be- cause vi the smoke from the burning timber in the surrounding country. The woods were burning in all directions.” The gentlemen are glad to again be in 8an Francisco, after their long absence, 'l‘hey say that sheep men are this year in- vading the crests of the bigh mountains in Idabo, and of the Cascade Mountaing in Washington. These have aided in driving out the game, and it is said they even make the fish scarce by muddying the streams. e A Despondent Laborer. Sam Wallace, a laborer living at 227 Harri- son street, jumped into the bay from Powell- street whar{ yesterday, but was quickly broucht ashore and taken to the Receiying Hospital. He has been sick for two months, aud, being unable to obtain work, he felt despondent and wanted to end his life. He is about 35 years of age. 11 CLEVER CAPTURE OF TWO BURGLARS They Broke Into a House on Bush Street, Near Hyde. THE OCCUPANTS AWAY. Dr. Walter N.- Thompson, Who Lives Opposite, Noticed Them and Gave the Alarm. WERE CAUGHT IN THE HOUSE A Third Burglar Succeeded in Making His Escape, but the Police Are After Him. A clever capture of two burglars was made by Policeman J. D. McLean last night while they were in the act of robbing the house at 1116 Bush street, occupied by William D. Keyston of Keyston Bros., whip manufacturers. He is at present in Europe, but his wife's sister occupied the house until a few days ago, when she went to San Jose on a visit, leaving the servant girl in charge. The servant girl went out last night and it was during her absence that the burglar entered the house. The burglars gave their names as George Green and Thomas Kelly. Green is the taller and younger of the two. He gave his age as seventeen. Kelly is a year older. Dr. Walter N. Thompson lives at 1123 Bush street and about half-past 9 o’clock last night be noticed three young men acting suspiciously on the opposite side of the street. Knowing that the family who occupied No. 11i6 was in the country he decided to watch the movements of the three strangers. He saw them go to the rear of the house and be at once went in search of a policeman. The doctor met McLean and together they went to the house. They noticed a dim light in the top story and as they halted at_the front steps the light went out. McLean wisely concluded not to waste time whistling for assistane, so he stationed Dr. Thompson at the front door, which to their surprise they found open, and he went to the rear. A window was wide open, through which entrance had evidently been effected, and the rear door was also open, the burglars leaving both front and rear doors open as ameans of escape either way in case of being surprised at their work. McL an cautiously made his way to the top floor, where he gld seen the light, and as he neared the top of the stairs be heard the burglars drop on the floor. He caught Green and marched him downstairs and on to the street, where he manacled him to an iron hitching-post. Word had been telephoned to the Cen- tral police station and Lieutenant Bird- sall instrected the wagon at ti.e North End station to drive as quickly as possible to the bouse. As the wagon reached the house McLean was searching for the other two burglars. Policeman Charleston, who accompanied the wagon, assisted him and they found Kelly concealed in a closet. Every nook and corner in the house was searched for the third buargiar, but he could not be found and the officers were forced to the conclusion that he hLad slipped out by the rear door while Mec- Lean was hitching Green to the post in iront and had made his escape. The two young burglars took their arrest uietly. They refused to say anything. %uthin,«z is so far known about them by the police. LATE SPORTING NEWS.
