THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1896. RAN THREE BLOCKS FROM JUSTICE A Man Who Robbed a Room in the Marechal Niel. AWOEKE THE OCCUPANT. There Was a Brief Struggle and the Burglar Made His Escape. HOT PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. The Stolen Property Found in His Possession—Was Booked for Grand Larceny. The guests in the Marechal Niel Hotel, on Eliis and Jones streets, were awakened from their stumbers about 6 o’clock yester- day morning by a terrific noise on the stairs, and for some minutes consternation reigned supreme. 5 The noise was made by J. F. Mail, one of the guests, who was chasing a burglar, and both rushed down the stairways from the third floor at a rattling gait, and ihen out onto the street, Mail, who is stock clerk in the San Fran- cisco Shoe House, occupies room 49 on the third floor. He got home early yester- day morning, and after taking off his hat and coat, lay down on the bed to read for a short time before retiring, but he soon fell asleep. He had not taken the precaution to lock his door, and was awakened by some one going through his vest pockets. He jumped out of bed and seeing a man in front of him, he made a pass at him with his right hand, but missed nim. The man backed into a corner, and Mail mace a kick at him but azain mised him. They had s tussle, and the burglar got to the door and rushed along the hallway and down the stairs pursued by Mail, who was shouting “‘Stop thief!” The burglar kept ahead of Mail and when he got to the street he ran north to O'Farrell street and turned west toward Leavenworth. Mail kept close behind bim, shouting for Lelp, ana J. G. Welsh, a hackdriver, who was walking along O’Farrell street, heard his cries, and tak- ing in the situatior, he grabbed hola of the burglar. There was a brief struggle and before Mail reached them the burglar broke away. A milk wagon happened to pass just then and Mail and Welsh pressed ‘the driver into service. They started off after the burglar, who turned down Leaven- worth street, but Mail and Welsh kept shead of the milk wagon and overtook the burglar at Eliis street. Mail found that the burglar had taken his gold watch, chain and charm and $48 45 in coin. The burglar delivered up the watch and coin but denied that he had the chain and charm, saying he must bave dropped them. Mail and Welsh marched him back over the route taken, looking for the chain and charm, but did not find them tiil they got back to the hotel, where they were found in the hall- way. The burglar begged Mail to let him go for the sake of his wife and family and told bim if he had been a bad man he could have shot him with the revolver which he saw on top of the bureau. Mail wae not in a forgiving mood an made him siton a trunk in the hallway till Police- man George Collins was notified and he placed the burglar under arrest. The man was taken to the City Prison and charged with grand larceny. He gave ithe name of Henry Meyer, 23 years of age and his oc- cupation as a wailer. He had in a purse $20 75 that beionged to himself and a nickel watch and two keys. All the detectives had a look at Meyer In the prison, but none of them recognized him. His wife called to see him, but was uncommunieative. Meyer haa walked into the hotel as the proprietor, according to custom, had tarned out the hall lights at 5 o’clock, and opened the front door. He had evidently tried several bedroom doors, but found them all locked till he reached Mail's on the third floor. Two or three weeks ago the room of an- other guest at the hotel was entered dur- ing the night and nis gold watch and chain were stolen. The police think that Meyer was the thief and that he may have been implicated in the recent burglaries in several hotels. Detectives Silvey and Reynolds found the room occupied by Meyers, and to their great surprise aud satisfaction made a dis- covery that was not anticipated. Meyers bad a stock of jewelry, fancy articles and clothing in such large quantities thata second-hand store might be opened with the stuff in his room. The detectives packed the jewels and smal. thingsintoa valise and bundled up the clothing, sticks and umbreias and took them all 1o Cap- tain Lees’ office. Among the jewelry were found a fine gold waich and an opal pin beionging to Charles O'Byrne, 405 Montgomery street, stolen some months ago. A beautiful crazy-quilt, the property of Colonel J. G. C. Lee, United States Quartermaster, was among the recovered articles. Thobe other things found in the room are as follows: A handsome silk plush cape trimmed with fur and passementerie,a gold necklace of balis one-fourth inch in diameter, a gold thimble with the name = Kittie W. Terry engraved on the rim, a borseshoe diamond scarfpin containing thirteen diamonds, a scarfpin with an emerald surrounded by diamonds, a large diamond and emerald brooch, designed like a star, with a cluster of diamonds ana five small emeralds and five diamonds forming rays or sprays; a lady’s pin, scroll-shaped, with three large diamonds; two diamond screw earrings, two paney- leaf earrings with garnet centers, onew ding ring of gold, one long fine ¢old chain woven in a string, sleeve-links of the knot- and-rope pattern of gold and platinum, a plain gold scroll lady’s pin with ships en- graved on it, a circular locket with an in- taglio and an onyx back, gold sleeve but- tons with finely cut horses’ headsin relief, plain, round, gold sleeve-buttons; a pair of black opera-glasses mounted in gold; a gold web oriental belt worn by ladies; a peari handls, silver-ylaud ‘revolver; also several pairs of men’s tan gloves; silver mounted umbrellas and canes, several pocket books, cizar bolders and purses, il empty, a dust coat and a long blue tloth overcoat. Captain Lees said he wonld be glad to hear from people who lost similar articles, and he believed most of the property will p» identified and claimed within a few days. Santa (ruz Wins Again.

The venerable old lady was born in Johnstown, New York, more than eighty-six years ago, and only to have brought her added dignity and grace, while her mental powers, like wine, seem to have improved with age. “] suppose,’’ she said yesterday, I am the oldest woman suffragist in this City, and I am proud to say that my dear husband, who left me years ago for a better He came to California a year before Idid, on the Pal- His heaith was delicate, and this climate agreed with him so well that after & year he went back to the States and fetched me I love this State and Ishall woman shall enjoy political equality with man, as she surely will.” Mrs. Wood was a schoolmate with Elizabeih Cady Stanton, her father and Judge Cady. the father of Mrs. Stanton, being Justices on the same bench.

BULLETS IN THE BLACK. The Thirty-Eighth Annual Festival Attracts Large Numbers. THE PRIZES ARE PLENTIFUL Naval Battalion and Independent Rifles Hoid Their Monthly Medal Shoots. The thirty-eighth annual festival of the San Francisco Schuetzen Verein was cele- brated at Sheil Mound park vesterday, the piece de resistance of an interesting and varied programme of attractions being the competition shoot for members of the or- ganization. For this and the bowling, which almost rivaled it in popular esti- mation, no less a sum than $500 in cash had been specially provided—a circum- stance tending to promote much more than the normal excitement invariably a feature of all such competitions. The attendance of outsiders was cousid- erable, though the members of the Schuetzen Verein, regplendent in refur- | bished uni‘orms, were necessarily con- | spicuous among the throng, and those whose attention was not altogether ab- sorbed by the shooting and the bowling found time to devote to the gentler pas- times of dancing and lovemaking—for it goes without saying that pretty frauleins were there in plenty. | A festival of any kind, with which a son of the Fatherland is concerned, would greatly belie traaition if music were lack- ing. On this occasion Ritzau’s brass band charmed the listeners with the **concord of sweet sounds’’ and discoursed classi- cally and otherwise most indefatigably from mora till dewy eve. The interior of the park pavilion was appropriately dec- orated with banners and bunting, the stars and stripes and the flag of the Schuetzen Verein being most frequently displayed smong the former. A gayly- colored inscrivtion below the bandstand extended a laconic, but none the less cor- dial, “Willkommen” to one and all. Throughout the day, which was one of the thirsty variety, luger beex and milder potations for those opposed to alcoholic stimulants, were liberally on tap and as- similated in large quantities—by the smoke-begrimed riflemen in particular. The shooting began at 10 A. M. and was continued until 6 o’clock, with an inter- mission at noon for lunca., The pro- gramme included shooting at company targets, most points and best centers. The final resuit of the two last-named competi- tions will not be known until this evening, inasmuch as the process of determining the same involved a difficult calculation by machinery, which measures shots to the thousandth part of an inch. The whole of the prizes, for both the shooting and the bowling, will be distributed on Thursday evening next at the California Hall, Bush street. The result uf the shooting at company urjeu. fifteen men participating, was as under: John Utschiz 69, J. Tiedeman 69, Frank Kocu 69, D. B. Fakior 64, J. C. Walier 63, A. H. Pape 63, Charles Tierbacn 63, F. Attinger 63, George Alpers 63, L. Bendell 62, L. N. Rit- zau 61, John Tuode 61, K. Woritieimer 60, Henry Tietjen 60, Willism Glindemann 59. As late as 4 o'clock Glindeman seemed certain’ winner in the bowling tourna- ment, he baving then scored 36, aud by so doing rendered defeat impossible, though a tie might ensue for first place. The Ioilowing coOmmittees were re- sponsible for all arrangements in connec- tion with the conduct of the festival: General Committee—Loufs Haaker, chair- man; Henry Stelling, secretary; H. Huber, treasurer. Shooting—J. Utschig, F. P. Schuster, R. Fink- ing, Hermann Huber, O. Lemke, C. Thierbach. Bow.ing—J. Thode, William Platt, E. Inser. Ruffic—Captain J. 'F. Bolts, F. Wagner, H. Kosier, A. Huber, L. Bauer, E. H. Goetze, O. Sablfeld, A. Hagedorn. Floor Manager—J. Lankenau; committee— W. Marker, F. Rathjen. The Schuetzen Verein and the majority of the visitors returned to the City by the 9 o’clock boat exhausted but happy,while the unanimous opinion expressed atthe conclusion of the festivities was that rarely has a day been more enjoyed or passed away under happier auspices. When contrasted with the ‘‘Teutons’ dread artillery,” the other rifle ranges were quiet and peaceable. Apart from a practice shoot induiged in by Company I of the First Infantry, N. G. C., in_order to prepare for the Mangels and Wieland trophy competition a fortnight hence, the only clubs at Shell Mound yesterday were the Independent Rifles and the Naval Baitalion, both of which held their monthly medal shoots. The tollowing are the scores: Naval Battalion—J. Peters 34, J. Kearney 41, E. L. Duncan 37, Oscar Smith 36. J. F. Murphy 38, — Emmerich 3 Mills 3. . McMillan 26, D. Weir 38.

It Wou'd Double Rents, Depress Busi- ness and Mike Men Leave the City. The impression prevails that it is the intention of the State Board of Equal- ization during the present week to add $30,000,000 to the assessment roll of the City and County of San Francisco. Prop- erty-owners and tenants are in conse- quence more or less alarmed, and there exists among them a general feeling of uneas'ness. Oneof them said yesterday: “‘About one-tl ird of the entire State tax is now paid by Ean Francisco, and interior counties, in their eagerness to see her assessment increased, seem to forget that they will be called upon to sustain a raise in the foilowing year. ‘ Last year the assessment of this City and County was increased, despite the &;;]olest of the Board of Supervisors, $30,- .000, and considering the business de- ression which has prevailea since then, a ?lk— increase now would be equivalent to $60,000,000. The existing standard of values is very high and equitably there sbould be a reduction rather than an in- crease of $30,000,000 in the assessment roll. “If the increase be made it will, in the opinion of competent judges, compel !and- lords to double the rents of their tenants, whbo will then probably be induced to go into business in Oszkland or some other neighboring city or town. Then the land- lords will not care to make any further in- vestments and theresults will be a general business stagnation,” “The State Board of Equalization,” said Alfred D. Miesegaes last night, ‘‘has in its mind a standard of full cash value of prop- erty, but just what that is nobody seems to kuow. All counties, however, must conform to it. What is your assessment in proportion to the true valuation of property in e3uur county? This is the question asked by the Equalizers. “From their decision an appeal has never yet been taken in this State. Ap- peals, though, have bean taken in other States and can be in this, but &s to the precise method to be pursued I sm not advised. Property-owners, however, have an undoubted Tieht to petition the Supreme Court to review the action of the State Board of Equalization if they think they have been treated unjustly.’” A. Chesebrough, one of the Equalization Board, left last night for Sacramento. FUSION FUSED INTO A FIZILE After a Warm Session the Conference Failed to Agree. ROGERS ENOCKED OUT. Vann Was Prevailed Upon to Withdraw and English Won. LOS ANGELES DISAFPOINTED. Barlow of the Sixth Chosen in Place of Harry Patton, Who Was Induced to Quit. First Distriot—Cutler (D.), Monteith (Pop.). Second District—De Vries (D.), Mec- Glashan (Pop.). Third District—English (D.). Fourth District—Maguire (D.). Fifth District—A. B. Kinne (Pop.), Joseph Kelly (D.). Sixth District—Barlow (Pop.). Seventh District—Castle (Pop.), Mad- dux (D.). The friends of Warren B. Englsh, headed by Frank J. Moffitt, after a hurd fight succeeded last night in securing his nomination as the fusion candidate. The committee, having failed in its ef- forts at fusion, expended its remaining strength in finding a soft place on which to fall, so that the dullness of the thud might not jar too severely upon the ear of the public. Finding that they could not agree they fixed up matters so that Messrs. Patton and Vann withdrew and left the field open for English and Barlow, who were chosen as the fusion cundidates. Only one district, the Fifth, was left. The conference called Mr. Rogers into the | secret shrine and delicately informed him that the Democratic members of the com- mittee were afraid that he would not receive the votes of citizens of the district who did not believe in A. P. Aism., and that for that reason he would not be as available a candidate as was desired. A. B. Kinne, a Populist member of the committee and of the People’s Party State Oeniral Committee, was proposed, and Mr. Rogers withdrew in his favor. James H. Barry was proposed in Rogers’ lace by the Democrat who appeared to running the whole shaw, but the Popu lists objected to him on the ground that he had uttered his thoughts concerning some of their ieaders. The ;Third and Sixth districts were voted for together and the joint vote showed a majority for Eunglish. Then a separate voie was (aken and English was chosen, one authority says unanimously, | and the other that Leggett voted against him. In the separate vote on the Sixth Bar- low received twelve and Patton three votes, the three being Dempsey, Hassett and Legpett. Vann withdrew in order to | help Barlow, whom the Populists wanted. Itis reported thatin a few days Castie will be prevailed upon to withdraw in favor of Maddox. That will give the | Democrats five candidates and the Popu- lists only two and those two in the hope- less districts. 2 The joint conference committee will meet at 1 o'clock this afternoon to sign the report to be made by Lawior, Gesford and Londsborough. The report will be submitted to the State Central Committees of these parties for approval or rejection. he conference did not adjourn until midnight. e ENGLISH AND BARLOW. Los Angelenes Determined to Have What They Ask. TrE CALL was the only paper in San Francisco yesterday that gave the true inwardness of the fight in the Fusion Conference Committee last Saturday night. The assault uvon Warren B. English, Democratic candidate for Congress from the Third District, by a Democratic fac- | tion headed by Daggett, Tarpey, Foote, McNab, Gould and Budd, was the general subject of conversation among politicians yesterday. Interwoven with the little faction fight is the reminiscence that Mr. English while in Congress, voted against the railroad funding bill, and that he | thereby incurred the hostility of the Southern Pacitic Company. Thus far that corporation has won every fight it has made in the fusion commit- tee. It has succeeded in preventing its enemy, George W. Monteith, from being selected as the fusion candidate from the First District; it has been equally for- tunate in the turning down of McGliashan from the Second; and on Saturday night | it succee ied in causing a deadlock in the | committee, which had the effect of pre- venting, at least for that session, the ve- lection of Mr. Knglish as the fusion can- | didate in that district. | Judge Maguire was spared for reasons | which have not yet been brought to ligi.t. | Tne Judge stands so high with his part; that to have turned him down woul have brought about a reaction that would have been very damaging to the railroad ! company during the present campaign, and might have awakened an issue whicn the Populists have discarded for that of free coinage—ramely, the railroad ques- tion, which the company is always wiiling to let sieep. J. Tayior Rogers, Populist candidate from the Fifth District, is Mayor Sutro’s clerk and be is not liked by the Southern Pacific for that reason, added to the fur- ther one that as a Populist he wouid be obliged to make a tight against the fund- ing bill. Hence, it surprised no one when the fact came to light that the committee would turn him down for some one else, even if that some one else should be a Populist. esterday it was reported that Rogers’ friends put up a fight for him. He coula be saved if the Populists, or four of the six in the committee, would vote for Pat- ton (Democr-t? n the Sixth. This would leave two Populists on the ticket, and necessarily the vacant place, that in the Third District, would have to be filled with Populist Vann, Rogers being used as the club to knock out both Eng- lish and Barlow and to knock in Patton, and thereby please the Los Angeles pe vle and the Southern Pacific Com pany well. Bouth of the Tebachapi there is a large and influential population, and they demand that the candidate should come from Los Angeles. They say that Mr, Barlow lives in S8an Luis Obispo. and that when he wants to go to Los Angeles, all the way by rail, he must first come to San Francisco and take the train from this place for the citrus land. The Los An- geles people are an energetic crowd, and they vsually obtain what they ask in poli- d:s_. kW;mn thuyr:ilon't geL & the welkin shrieks for several consecutive months thereafter. b The fact that the Southern Pacific Com- Mrs. Chapman-Catt, the Famous Woman-Suffrage Orator. Last night’s overland train brought to town a little lady who has earned the title of the *‘Woman-saffrage Gatling-gun” by reason of her splendid achievements in the battles which the women of the United States are waging for equal political rights. “Three years and more have passed,'” she said last night, “since I was last in San Francisco, and I have missed the place ever since. Perhaps some may disagree with me, while other® may think I am ‘giving taffy,” but to my mind San Francisco is the oniy city worth living in. I have beard great thines of the woman suffrage work here, and can hardly express my delight at the noble, whole-hearted fashion in which THE CALL has espoused our cause. ‘I hope to do my share in the work of winning the ballot for Californian women, thoush it looks as though the labor would State seem to be on our side.

Two Men Could Defeat the Will of Thirteen. The plan of action under which the Fusion Conference Committee of Fifteen was organized was peculiarly drawn, so that two of the three silverites absolutely controlled the entire conference. No man could be nominated without their consent. The plan provided that in order to seiect a fusion candidate the votes of two-thirds of eachor anization would be necessary; that is, four of the six Democrats, four of tbe six Populists and two of the ihree silver men, making a total vote of ten. Shoula a link in the chain be missing, should a candidate rec-ive the votes of six Democrats, six Populists and one silver man, making thirteen out of the fifieen votes, he would not be chosen. | It was no doubt with an eye to the future that this plan was formulated, and there is no doubt also that the authors of | it, who arranged things so that ten votes would elect a man and thirteen votes would defeat him (probably because thir- teen is an unlucky number), had the English and other contingencies in their mind’s eye, and prepared themselves to meet it. | CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Interesting and Enthusiastic Rally at Westminster Presvyterian Church. The Christian Endeavorers of Westmin- ster Presbyterian Church held a rally last evening in place of the regular service. Many Christian Endeavorers from other churches were present. J. 8. Webster, vice-chairman of the "97 convention committee, presided. The meeling was opened wiih a brief praise service, followed by Scrintural reading and prayer by Harry Vanderlip. A. 8. Jonn- son spoke on *“Missionary Work in Our Christian Endeavor Societies.” = Donald Mackenzie addressed the Endeavorers on “Spiritual Results of the Convention at Washington.” *“T'wo hundred ana thirty- one thousand young ople joined the church last year througrlne efforts of the Christian Endeavor societies,” said Mr. Mackenzie, “Who wilt say, then, in the face of these ngures that the Endeavor conventions and societies are not produc- tive of great good ?”’ Rolla V. Watt, chairman of the 97 com- mittee, who bas just returned to this City, took for bis subject ““Washington Briefs.’ “Tne people at” Washington were deeply impressed with the convention,” said gr. ‘Watt, ““and they could not help being im- pressed, for evervwhere they went they saw the badges of the Endeavorers. Fulily 27,000 crowded the great meeting-places.” J. 8. Webster then spoke on *‘San Fran- cisco, '97." After the consecration ser- vice, which was led by Rev. H. C. Minton, D.D., the Endeavorers joined in repeating the Mizpah benediction. —————— LOANS on dlamonds. Interest low. Harris, 16 Grant avenue.
