14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1896. THE “EXAMINER” AND ITS SILVER FIGHT. Blundering Inconsistencies Exposed by Its Own Contradictions. Mr. Hearst Was Formerly Opposed to the Policy for | Which He Is Now So Loudly Vociferating. Quite & number of patriotic and thoughtful persons, who have chanced to e.u;;lly glance at the San Francisco Examiner during the past two years, having had their at- tention drawn to it by reason of its erratic freaks and fakes, have been greatly amused lately by its vehement support of Altgeld and Bryan, its advocacy of Bryanism, and its defense of the course taken in the Chicago convention. It will be still more amusing to such persons as have occasionally glanced at the columns of the paper which maintains what it calls a “freak” editor to learn that there are many freaks which that journal does not class as such, which, nevertheless, creep into its editorial columns from time to time with the solemnity of sober earnest. It is interesting, in view of the Examiner’s wild and unqualified indorsement of the money plank of the Chicago platform, to read its views'of a little more than a year ago, when it spoke in calmer tones than now, and before it had grown garrulous over “‘the Boy Orator of the Platte.” The journal that now advocates free silver as a panacea for every economic ill had occasion to answer a correspondent, who inquired for wisdom on sitver, in its issue of June 27, 1895. The correspondent asked: *“Would it be possible that the free coinage of silver could hurt our trade with nations that have the gold standard?” The Exam- iner’s reply, printed in the editorial columns, was as follows: EXAMINER AGAINST FREE COINAGE. The free coinage of silver under proper international agreement would help our trade with all the world, but free coinage by this country alone, unless it suc- ceeded in bringing both metals to a parity, which would hardly be possible, would certainly injure our commerce with countries having the gold standard. We see the same effect now in countries that are on a silver basis. The fluctua- tions in the price of silver so disturb international exchange as to make trade be- tween gold and silver using countries partake of the nature of a gambie. All the profits of a transuction may be wiped out by a change in the silver market, or, on the other hand, they may be doubled. This is a discouragement to legitimate commerce and tends to put trade in the hands of speculators, Having shown how the policy it now advocates would ruin the country the paper which makes freaks its chief feature discoursed on the consequent evils of free silver as follows: To abandon the sale of our products abroad would mean a revolution in our domestic industries, with much suffering while the readjustment was going on. And as we owe large amounts to foreigners we should either have to keep sending on goods enough to pay interest or should have to drain the countiry of all its precious metals. Last year our exports of merchandise exceeded our imports by over $237,000,000, and if we had not the foreign trade ail this would have to be sent out in specie. On June 26, 1895, the Examiner congratulates Chairman Gould for his manly stand in refusing to call a meeting of the State Central Committee of the Democratic party to declare in favor of silver, and adds: Business is reviving, factories are working on good time, wages are going up, farm products are bringing better prices and new enterprises are being daily launched Speaking of Mitchell’s free-silver ideas in the issue of the 28th, the Examiner says: Even such eccentric views as Mr. Mitchell’s ought not to be deprived of whatever benefit they could gain from good manners. The “eccentric” ideas of Mr. Mitchell have since been incorporated into the Demo- cratic platform, made the Shibboleth of Bryan and mdorsed by the Examiner, which commends the Altgeld programme as the acme of American patriotism. Here is what the Examiner said of Governor Altgeld, Bryan’s right power, inits issne of June 7, 1805: The free silver movement in Illinois has not been helped by its identifica- tion with Governor Altgeld. The recent lynching of the perpetrators of a felo- nious assault because the lynchers were afraid Altgeld would pardon the erim- inals has brought into renewed prominence the erratic twist of the Governor’s mind, which makes him distrusted and feared by every friend of order and good government. Having predicted failure for any “wild attempt* on the part of the United States to coin silver at 16 to 1 unaided, the Examiner of June 4, 1895, burst forth in the fol- lowing prediction of bankruptcy and disaster: The attempt of the United States to establish the bimetallic ratio of 16 to 1 throughout the world would, in case of failure, bring us to a silver basis and cause the greatest financial crash we have ever known, On June 28, 1895, it recognizea silver as being a Populist craze unworthy of seri- ous attention, and said: A dangerous growth in the Populist vote would encourage the silver men to new efforts, while the maintenance of Democratic strength would be taken by the politicians as an indication that free silver could be safely dropped. The files of the Examiner for a long period show conclusively its antagonism to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, while its twin, the New York Journal, de- nounced Bryan’s plans and the Democratic platform so late as the week following the promulgation of the Chicago platform and the nomination ot the “‘boy orator’’ amid scenes of unexampled revelry and political hallucinations. HE WAS HELD P AND SEARCHED The Experience of Morris Newton With a Policeman. Mr. Newton is of a very nervous tem- perament and is excitable. His station in life, quiet habits, family and social rela- tions are such that he has never felt the heavy hand of the Iaw on his shoulder until Sunday night last, and the new ex- verience has well nigh unstrung him. He spent all of Sunday at his country home, where, in his vast garden, he culled an immense basket of fragrant flowers for presentation to his sister-in-law, Mrs. Thomas Morffew, on this side of the bay. As night fell Mr. Newton,wearing a wide cowboy biack sombrero and carrying his floral offering, started for this City, which be reached shortly after 8 o’clock. Anticipating the pleasant surprise he was about to give his relation he silently stole along the sireet near Gough hoping to suddenly enter the house at 1725 Pine street and astonish everybody with his presence. But !hcegolicemnn, a burly fellow with misdirected detective proclivities, was on his track. He had foliowed Mr. Newton for some time, and his bewhiskered face under the shade of the broad hatdid much to make the officer believe that there was something wrong about the man.’ “Stop there!” shouted the policeman rushing up to the flower bearer, who was stealthily trying to enter the house. Newton looked back, but continued to move on—actions caiculated to excite the suspicion of a true guardian of the peace. He therefore pressed the pace and with club on high seizeda Mr. Newton by the collar and beld kim against the wall, RESCUED BY A FRIEND The Zealous Officer Detained Him as a Suspicious Character. A LOVELY FLORAL OFFERING The Trouble It Made for the Wealthy Owner of Moscow Cottage in Sonoma County. While there is a theory current that oft- times the police officer is scarce, some- times the opposite is found to be true. This is an impression indelibly settled on t'e mind of Morris Newton, the wealthy merchant at Pine and Front streets and the owner of Moscow Cottage, one of the loveliest summer homes in Bonoma County. NEW TO-DAY. petent to fully appreciate the purity, sweet. ness, and delicacy of CUTICURA BoAP, and to discover new uses for it daily. To cleanse, purify, and beautify the ekin, to allay itch. ing and _irritation, to heal chafings, excoris- tions, and ulcerative weaknesses, nothing so pure, eo sweet, s0 specdily effective as warm baths with CuTicona Soar, followed, when Decessary, by mild applications of OUTICURA (olntment), the great skin cure. She. fi%flfiv'fl Pt g ] T ConE S ooy B e e, “What have you got in that basket?” he asked in an authoritative tone. ‘‘None of your business,”” was the first answer that came to Mr. Newton’s mind, but he modified it by saying, “Flowers,” *‘Flowers; are they?' suspiciousl: nluked? the officer. "Wyhors did you xeyt them ?” And he reached to investigate, Newton drew away as ne uigz i brought them from my home at Moscow Cottage.” That settled it in the mind of the police- man. Of Moscow Cottage he knew noth- ing, but his knowledge of geography located Moscow somewhere in Russia, a place so distant and _so prolific of nihilists and so devoid of flowers that the man under detention must be worthy of fur- ther investigation. At this juncture Dr. Thomas Morffew, ex-president of the State Dental Associa- tion, brot:er-in-law of Morris Newton, hove in sight on his way home. He saw that a struggle was going on in front of his house and Newton recognizea him. **Tom, Tom! For heaven's sake come here, this man takes me for a burglar!” shouted Newton. J Dr. Morffew approached his relativeand 1dentified him, avoiding thereby any furtier melee. The officer continued on his beat, a rather discomfited man, while Mosris Newton went inside to nurse a bruise or two. Last night Dr. Thomas Morffew, who was seen by a CALL Teporter, saida: “I don’t blame the policeman a bit, Newton looked like a burglar under that hat and the oflicer had every right to over- baul him. If all suspicious-looking in di- viduals were siopped as Newton was and made to explain their actions as in this case honest people would stand a better chance.” e It is proposed to send forty thousand unmarried women from Eastern Canada to British Columbia for the purpese of supplying the demand for wrvea.

HERMAN OELRICHS Explaining to Mr. Delmas Why She Thought the Pencil Wit Was Genuine and Why She Changed Her Mind About It. WHY MRS, OELRICHS CHANGED HER MIND Says She Does Not Think the Craven Deeds Are Genuine. AND THAT EXPLAINEDIT Birdie Fair Will Also Tell To- Day Why She Changed Front. BUSY DAY IN THE BIG CASE. Delmas & Shortridgs Dismiss Craven Suits as Against All But the Three Children. the Mrs. Theresa Alice Oelrichs, very pale, complaining of a raging headache, a little awed by the occasion, too, but still wear- ing a look of determination that charac- terizes her, sat for nearly two hours yes- terday afternoon at the other side of a narrow table from D. M. Delmas, answer- ingand refusing to answer and sometimes evading the answer to a chain of very per- tinent questions respecting herself and her sister and her brother and her father and her father’s wills, Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair and Reuben Lloyd and Charles 8. Wheeler and Russell Wilson, their counsel, arrived on time and spent the waiting half hour quite pleasantly. Before the proceedings began, however, the ladies and the lawyers were all served with notice of the new move made by Delmas and Shortriage on the part of Mrs, Craven. It wasa dismissal of the suits of Mrs. Craven against Charles L. Fair and others to recover possession of the Mission- street property, and of the sunits against Theresa A. Oelrichs and others for the re- covery of the Sansome-street property— that is to say they were dismissed as to all the defendants except the heirs. The ground upon which this wasdone is thede- cision of Judge Slack annuiing the trust clause in the will of the 21st. Under that will the title to the property would have passed to trustees. The court baving decided the trust clause void it is held that the title goes immediately to the children, and so the suit was dismissed with regard to the others. An affidavit was made by Mr. Delmas setting forth that Mrs. Oelricks and Miss Fair were neces<ary witnesses for plaintiff, and notice was served that depositions would be taken regarding the validity of the deeds at 10 o’clock next Monday morning before Notary Phillips. As stated botb the ladies snd the lawyers were served, and Knight & Heggerty ac- cepted service for Charles L. Fair. 'Fhe witness in answer to questions stated that her name was Theresa Alice Oelrichs, her residence Fifth avenue, New York, her husband’s name Herman Oei- richs, and that she was married June 3, 1890, she thought—yes, she was pretty sure it was 1890, Continuing she said: “I am the mother of one of the contest- ants; he was born in New York November 2, 1892; be still resides there with me; I am the eldest daughter of the late Senator James G. Fair; I was born in Virginia City, Nev.; I came to this City when 13 years of lzfl; 1 resided here until my marriage, when I removed to New York, where my husband resided ; the last time I saw my father alive was in the latter part of November, 1895; T am not sure of the date; I was visiting here at the time; I had visited the State once and perhaps twice between that time and 1890; I came here immediately upon hearing of my father's death; Iremained here until the latter part of May, and went from here to Newport, R. 1., remaining there about three months; I sailed the 8th of last April for Europe; visited London and Paris; nturnini I went to New York, where I remained one day, going thence to Newport again and returned to New York, remaining until two weeks ago, when I came here.” “When 1n this City after your father's death did you see a document purporting to be the last will of your father? I re- fer to a paper dated September 24, 1895, writren in lead pencil.” 1 did, in Mr. Lloyd’s office, on the 16th of March. Mr. Lioyd, Mr. Wheeler, my sister, my husband and_ Mr, Dey were present. I don’t think I saw the docn- ment afterward. 'Chat was the only time I ever saw it, there in Mr. Lloyd’s office. My brother, Charles L. Fair, was not pres- ent at the interview. 1donot know where he was at the time. “Did you on the 18th of March or there- abouts sign a petition to the court asking for the probate of that document?’ 5 he&n we did; yes, sir.’’ “Who suggested that ;on sign it, or how dm%ou come to sign it?"’ “We thought best to sign it at that time. We thought it was the genuine will?” “What made you think so?"” “‘We thought it was my father's hand- writing,” ‘‘Had you ever seen your father write?"” “Many times?” “You had received letters from your father?” "YES, sir.” ‘‘Before sizning the petition did any one advise you to do so?” “Yes; my legal adviser and my friends advised me to—to use my own judgment.” ‘‘And did you use your own judgment?"’ “To a certain extent.” “'On what else besides your own judg- ment did you rely 2’ “Upon the advice of triends*’ “You acted upon their advice 2"’ I signed it; consequently I must have acted upon it.” *‘You sizned it pursnant to the advice of friends?'” “I dor’t know what you mean ?** “Will the reporter read the question ?” The reporter did so, and Mr. Delmas changed the question, saying that perhaps the witness did not understand the word pursuant. ‘“Was there any consultation between yourseli and your sister and your brother on the subject 2" “I don’t remember; I knew what my sister was to do; I knew nothing as to my brother.” *Did you know that your brother had already signed 1t?" “I don’t remember.” “When did you learn that Judge Van R. Paterson had been appointed guardian of your child?” “I don’t remember the date. It was after we reached home; we learned about it through our attorneys.” “Did you meake examination of the pencil will and sufficiently satisfy your- self of its genuineness as to warrant you in petitioning the court for its probate?’’ “It was difficult to examine it; i a glass case. I did examine i and thought it was my fathe; “What caused you to change your view of the matter?’’ “Weil, since we first saw the will cir- cumstances have changed. Numerous thiags have come to our notice that we did not know of before and '‘changed our belief in the matter.” “Will you please tell us what circum- stances have changed ?” “‘Well, one of the witnesses has produced adeed, which she claims my father gave her, to the Sansome-sireet property and at the Mission, and I am quite sure, know- ing my father as I did, that he never gave any one anything, let alone such valu- able property as that. Then within the past few days we have heard of a party who1s willing to testify that he saw the will written, the first few lines of it, any- how. These circumstances and other things have made me come to the conclu- sion that ewrynhin; that has been pro- duced is a forgery.” “When did you learn of the party you speak of 2" **About a week ago.” “From whom?" *“I decline to state.” “What is the party’s name?” “I do not know."” *Where does he live?” “1 never heard that he lived anywhere.” “Did you yourself seek to communicate with this party ¢’ *1 did not.”” ““Was it not your brother who informed you of the existence of this party?” “1 decline to state.” “Was it Mr. Knight or Mr. Heggerty ?’ “It was not.” “Was it Mr. Dey?” *No, sir.” “Was 1t not your brother?” *I decline to state.” *‘What did your brother say to you on this subject ?” “Iiut.hmg particular. Ido not remem- T, ““What did he say “What interview ? *“‘The interview whereat this subject was mentioned.” “Nothing particular.” *Have you stated all the circumstances that have caused you to change your mind on this matter of the genuineness of this will of September 24.” “I have not stated all of them, no; but Idecline to state ‘‘Have you examined the deeds thatyou referred to?”’ “I have seen the photographic copies. The writing does not look at all like my father’s?” . “How long did you remain of the belief that the will of September 24 was gen- uine?” “‘Until three or four months 0, when the other documents were produced. I heard numerous circumstances then and :’;:3 ,l'hen that caused me to change my “*‘Were you advised that until Thursday of last week your attorneys were in court "-.'olixlm,e,r:dmg for the genuineness of this ‘‘We were advised of the proceedings of the attorneys, but I have not been person- ally following the matter; my husband was attending to the matter.” The witness admitted being a reader of the San Francisco papers and following the proceedings in that way. Mr. Delmas read excerpts from printed reports of proceedings in court, as follows: “If Mr. Oeirichs had done what I conceived to be his duty,” retorted Mr. Paterson, “if he had filed & contest of the pencil will, [ would not interfere with his management of his son.” The witness said she had not seen it.

Barry Captured With a Forged Warrant. THREE OTHERS CASHED. Thieves Made a Heavy Haul in the Registrar’s Office Yesterday. SOME CLERK WAS CARELESS. The Stolen Papers Realized On Be. fore the Theft Was Dis- covered. A clever thief or thieves succeeded in purloining five warrants calling for $200 from the Registrar's office yesterday and in cashing three of the demands, aggre- gating $120, before their loss was noticed. Deputy Registrar Peter McGlade is the man on whom the responsibility of the loss rests, for he has charge of the office and 1s expected to be on hand there at all times. The first intimation that any- thing was wrong came when some one came and called for his warrant. [t was then noticed that the small remaining bundie of election officers’ warrants was missing and the chief deputy at once hur- ried to the treasury to stcp payment on the missing documpents if possible. To his chagrin he learned that the war- rants of W. R. Plumb, M. Grady and H. A. Von den Nunberg calling for $40 each, had been forged and cashed. While McGlade was standing in the Treasury -| asking about the missing papers a man came in and presented one of the war, rants, to which the name of M. McKenzie, the owner, had been forged. On seeing the chief deputy he dropped the warrant and ran o1t into the corridor. McGlade follow:d, and fortunately saw Policeman H. J. Wright passin’ and asked him to place the man under arrest, which was done. On being taken to the City Prison and charged with forgery he gave the name of James E. Barry and said he was a shoemaker living at 361 Clementina street. He said that the warrant had been given him as a present by & man who said he owned it and that he did ne know it was forged. He could not explain why he ran when he saw the chief deputy nor would he give the name of his generous friend. - The officials of the Regisirar’s office do not believe that Barry stole the warrant, but that it was purioined with the others by some one who gave the pers to different persons to cash after ro.rging the names. This ?erson is being searched for. There is still one warrant missing, made out in the name of M. O’Brien. McKenzie, whose warrant aided in Barry’s detection, served as an officer in the thirteenth precinct of the Thirty- ninth Assembly District. Registrar Hinton said last evening that he was not in the office during the hours when the papers were stolen, but that it mauast have been done during the after- noon. He thought some clerk after lookin, through tne only remaining bundle o warrants must have laid it on the counter for an instant and attended to some other duty, and during that time t'e warrants were stolen. All of the other papers were not taken, the demand for the rent of the registration place being left. Barry claimed that it would be found it was all a mistake and that the demand warrant was all right. WANTs k1 MONLY NOW. John M. Cavarly Jr. Seeks to Terminate His Father’s Will Trust Another uction has been brought to terminate & trust made by will. This time it is the testament of John M. Cav- arly thatis attacked. Mr. Cavarly died about a vear ago, leaving property valued at $87,543 41, $37,210 of which is in real estate. By the terms of his_will he bequeathed the prop- erty to the Union Trust Company in trust for his five children. The trust was to continue until Frank B. Cavarly, the youngest of the heirs, shoulu attain the age of"so, or, in the event of his death, until he would have reached that age. It wasalso provided that in case of the death of any of the legatees his suare should go to any issue he might leave. Yesterday John M. Cavarly Jr. peti- tioned the Probate Court for partial dis- tribution of the estate, alleging that the trust created was void in its inception. He asks thata fifth of the value of the rsonal property be at once delivered to im and that bis share of the real estate follow s soon as the estate is settled. ——————— A species of irog in Borneo has very long toes, and these are webbed to the tip.

EVERGLADES 0B THE PRESIDIO? Enlisted Men of the Fifth Artillery May Go There or Stay Here. One-Fourth of the Regiment May Elect to Remain in San Francisco. OFFICERS MUST GO0 SOUTH. Belief That Petticoat Influences in Society Caused the Order of Transfer. The Presidio is in a state of turmoil and agitation. It will be cause for special wonder if the Fifth Artillery is not prac- tically disorganized. The only topic of talk at the post is the order transferring the regiment to Florida. A new element of confusion is introduced by the supple- meatal orders received Sunday and an- nounced yesterday to the troops. The orders provide ‘“that all enlisted men of the Fifth Artillery who desire to remain at their present station will be permitted to do so and be transferred to batteries to arrive. All enlisted men of the Fifth Ar- tillery who have six months or less to serve, and who do not intend to re-enlist, will be leit at their present stations for transfer to organizations to arrive.”” Under this ruling an election to remain or leave is practically in progress. Yes- terday the men all along the line cau- cused and discussed the question. Itis common report that all men who en- listed on this coast will elect to go to Fiorida for the reason that at the expira- tion cof the period of enlistment they will receive from the Government a consider- able sum of .money as an allowance for transportation to the place where they enlisted. For like reasons men who en- listed 1n the Bast will stay here to get the transportaiion allowance back to their Eastern homes. The operation of the rule will take most of the registered voters away from this City before the election. Already twelve men of Battery E and at least fifteen of Battery L have elected to remain at the Presidio. Several days’ time will be allowed to make a choice. Among Californians who have enlisted in the Fifth Artillery there is a strong desire to go East and the order of transfer gives them pleasure, but when they hear com- rades wno have served at Key West talk of yellow fever ravages they hesitate about rendering a decision. Seryice at_8t. Augustine awakens pleas- ant memories among soldiers who have been there, but the men realize that only two batteries can be stationed at that post. If the two batteries to be placed there were now designated the men could vote intel- ligently, but the assignment is to be made by General Ruger commanding the de- artment of the East, so General Graham gimulf cannot now say which batteries will be sent there. According to the indications at the Pre- sidio last nig t one would infer that at least one-fourth of the regiment will re- main hereand be transferred to batteries of the Third, In point of discipline and soldierly qual- ifications the Fiith Artillery is not sur- passed. Itis familiar with the armament of San Francisco harbor. What the regi- ment will be or what San Francisco will get in the way of a garrison, when the authoriiies at Washington have carried out the scheme to save the First from Southern duty, is a matter of conjecture. The suspicion has deepened into belief that important facts have been withheld from the Secretary of War by underlings who are privileged to handle communica- tions at the department When Senator Perkins returns from Fresno leading citi- zens will request him to present the facts in the case directly to Secretary Lamont. Senator White will also be asked to re- quest the Secretary to investigate. Army men here are confident that the Secretary of War does not know that the First Artillery has served only one tour of three years in Florida since the war, while the Fifth has served three terms, nine and a half years all told, and is now ordered for the fourth tour of duty. Besides, it is roposed to deprive San Francisco, whose ortifications are extensive and modern, of the troops fami:iar with the armament. The Secretary, taking the matter in hand for his personal investigation, will likely discover in a short time that petticoat in- fluence: rather than requirements of the service 1ve suggested a transfer of the Fifth to keep the First in New York so- ciety. lie undue haste in time of peace to rush the troops from California 1o Florida lends color to the suspicion that the under- strappers fear t'at the scheme will be up- set i the transfer is not rushed. WOES 0. A PJULIC.MAN. John T. Euler Erought Sumit, but His Wife Is Divorced. Judge Seawell yesterday granted adi- vorce to Elizabeth Euler from Policeman John T. Euler on the grounds of cruelty. The case is a peculiar one. Euler orig- inaily began suit against his wile, allezing cruelty, vulgar language and habitual in- temperance. The parties were married April 28, 1894, and resided at 853 Fifteenth street, ‘The husband said that his wife would take money heentrusted to her and 0 off on a spree. 2 On May 10 last Mrs. Euler is alleged to have, in _company with another woman, visited Golden Gate Park, where thoy met iwo men, unknown to the policeman. The party of four is alleged to have visited a number oi saloons and drinking resorts. Al any rate, the policemun says his wife came home early next morning in a state of intoxication, her new clothes dirty and ruined, and reviled him when he expostu- lated. The next morning, referring to a former experience, the husband inquired, “You will not ask to come back after your con- duct of yesterday 2" To which inquiry he says she replied: *No, I don’t want to come back., I thought you would get on to yourself after a while.” ” Mrs. Euler filed an answer and cross- complaint to her husband’s charges, denying all his ailegations ana in turn charging him with extreme cruelty. She said he frequently cursed her ana often drove her from home. Euler did not oppose his wife’s cross- complaint and consequently she was awarded the decree. Judge Sanderson yesterday granted a divorce to Henrietta Hansen from Jorgen A. Hansen on the ground of desertion. Floretta Doyle was divorced from James Dogle Jr. by Judge Murphy. Desertion and failure to provide were the grounds. —————— Von Tiedemanu’s Trial.
