14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1896. FINE CASES OF STATUARY Their Importation Will Be Investigated by the Government. A TALE OF TWO LETTERS They Accuse Waldteufel & Com- | pany of Violating the Revenue Laws. CONSIGNMENTS FOR CHEURCHES. The Matter in the Hands of the Federal Government Officers. What may prove food for thought and action by the United States Grand Jury is being caretully investigated by Collector Wise under the guidance of District At~ torney Foote. Two hours after Achille Waldteufel was found dead in his own parlor, a few days ago, District Attorney Foote and Collector Wise received two anonymous letters. The letters were written by the same person and called attention to the impor- tation August 29 of five cases of statuary from Cologne. The unknown writer fur- ther said that a fraud bad been committed by the importer swearing that the articles contained in the five cases were for a church in Southern California. As is well known, the law provides that any mer- chandise or work of art imported for some particular church is not subject to auty. None of the officers directly interested were inclined to give credence to the charges contained in the anonymous let- ter until ti:e records disclosed the fact that fivé cases had actually arrived at this port from Uologne on the date mentionea. It was further learned that on September 1 Achille Waldteufel appeared before the Collector. and after prod ucing an order from the priest at Banning for certain statuary was given permission to take the goods away. More as a matter of form than anything else a letter was addressed to the priest at Banning asking if certain statuary had been ordered, and if so how many cases. The reply came back that only two cases bad been crdered from Waldieufel & Co., and that the same had been received. Further inquiry developed a very peculiar state of affairs. When, two days ago, a Government officer called at 732 Market street and asked abour the statuary he was told that it bad been shipped to the parties for whom it was ordered. They were then request d to produce the freight receipts, bul they were unable to do this except in the two cases sent to Bgnning. In the meantime the officer observed three statues answering the description of those imported. He asked Assistant Appraiser Doolan if-he identified the articles as those examined August 29, and he replied that he did. These inve tigations were conducted in- devendent of Collector Wise, but when the facts recorded above were ascertained they wer turned over to him, with the recommendation that he take immediate | action in the matter. | As yet he has done nothing, for the | reason, as Denuty Collector Jerome says, the ninety days allowed by law for Wald- teufel & Co. to return the receipt of the consignee for the statuary has not yet ex- pired. In the meantime, however, Dis- trict Attorney Foote is gathering all the evidence in sight. If a fraud has been committed he proposes to see toit that the guilly parties are prosecuted. The Government has secured a sample of Achille Waldteufel’'s handwriting and compared it with that of the anonymous letters. To the non-expert they appear identidal, and there is little doubt among those who have charge of the case that Waldteufel wrote the warning letters to Collector Wise and District Attorney Foote. There are some who affect to be- | Leve that his own connection with the affair preyed heavily on him and that the verdict of the Coroner’'s jury of ‘‘acci- dental death’” was hasty. MANUFAC:URERS PROTEST. The Board of Education Asked Not to Purchase Blackboards in the E: The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation has sent a communication to the Board of Education protesting against the puichasing in the East of blackboards for the new Bernal Heights school. The communication is in part as follows: 1f you buy the Eastern blackboards, the 8600 which comes {rom the taxpayers of ihis com- munity will go out of the State to_help enrich some other community. If you purchase the California-made article at thesame price, $150 will go East for maierial that is not made here, and $450 of the sum will remain in this State to give employment to the people who con- tribute the money to pay for them. We there- fore ssk that you give the order for these black- boards to the California man NEW TO-DAY. A Bottle on hand A Dose in time is more than a remedy ~ for cramps or colic.

Sy FRED BROWN 00., Philadelphia. e Scene at the Fair for the Benefit of the Youth’s Directory, at Armory Hall. CROWDS ATTEND THE FANCY FAIR Brilliant Opening of the Youth’s Directory Fes- tival. GIVEN IN ARMORY HALL Enthusiastic Words of Praise in Father Prendergast’s Speech. A RAINBOW OF FINE BOOTHS. Many Costly Objects of Art Being Sod and Raifledi—To Last Two Weeks. The First Regiment Armory was dressed up in such gay garb and peopled with | such an army of fair womeh last evening that its somber uses-were all forgotten. It was devoted to light and gayety and rang with music and laughter. The occa- sion was the opening of the festival in the interest of the fund for the new Youth’s Directory. The opening was made the occasion of an eloquent address by the chairman of the committee, J. R. Kelly, and by Rev. Father Prendergast, vicar-general, both of which were calculated to quicken the im- pulse of charity in general, and especially in behalf of the Youth’s Directory. In the course of his address Mr. Kelly said: ‘“‘As the present home is entirely inadequate to accommodateé the ever- increasing number of applicants, the di- rectors have determined to purchase a larger lot and to erect thereon a suitable building. “All the work of the directory is per- formed without the aid of one dollar from State or municipal government; all its labor is accomplished by the zealous priest who is devoting his life to the wel- fare of the children and who performs the | work without noise or the flourish of trumpets.” Rev. Father Prendergast was introduced. He paid a high tribute to those who have so successfully directed the destinies of ihe Youth’s Directory. He said'it filled a place distinct from that of the orphans’ asylum, and, if possible, & more difficult one. For the child whose parents, while still living, are as neglectful toward their offspring as though they were dead, still has no right to apply to these havens. It is_here, and to these forlorn waifs that the Youth’s Directory stretches out its hand to rescue and comfort and saye. Father Prendergast then went on to describe the institution for the benefit of which the fair was being given, and showed how worthy a charity it was. He told of its methods of work, of 1ts struggle for existence and of ‘the ever-present need of a helping hand, a cheering word, a trusty friend. The speaker said there were theorists and workers. ‘‘Among the theories,” he said, ‘*‘there is one that I am sure if re- alized would ;Iarnn most destructive of real progress. Irefer to woman suffrage. “The institution most necessary to the continuance of our Government is the home. Young men laboring for a pit- tance are most caretul how they assume the permanent responsibility of marriage, What, then, is the effect .of woman sui- frage? Alreadv _too many young women are employed. Their empiovment has the tendency to deprive young men of work, and this keeps wages down. Only in the purlieus of society do we find women sup- porting men. Itis unnatural. “The man should support the weaker sex. Therefore, with all due respect to the talented and elogquent and even hu- | manitarian advocates of woman suffrage, I must say that it is my belief that the terrdency is not for good.” A concert followed tle speech-making, vocal solos being rendered by Miss Powell, Mr. Berger, Miss Black and G. V. Wand. Miss Daly gave a reading. O’DONNELL FOR MAYOR. The Citizens’ and Taxpayers’ Party Names the Head of Its Ticket. The Citizens’ and Taxpayers’ Water party, composed of eléctors of this City who favor the municipal ownership of water works, held an enthusiastic meet- ing last night in the courtroom of Police Court 2, City Hall. Chairman John C. Rierdon presided. 4 A committee of three, J. C. Rierdon, J. Smith and J. Kelly, was appointed to se- cure permanent bheadquarters, which will be advertised 1n the daily press as soon as a suitable place can be found. Dr. C. C. O’Donuell was nominated by acclamation for Mayor to head the mu- nicipal ticket. —_—— Appeal From a Mission. The Gooa Samaritan Mission, corner of Sec- ond and Folsom streets, urgently appeals to ‘Water clothing ot all sorfs. The expansion of_the work and the hard times render the dem&nd for those articles extremely large. Contribu- tions wiil be thankfully received and worthily bestowed. e . THE AFFILIAD D COLLEGES. Ground Broken on the Site hy Dr. Cole and Regent Relnstein. The ground was broken by the con- tractor on the Affiliated Colleges’ site yes- terday. There were present: Dr. R, Bev- erley Cole, Regent Reinstein, Dr. William- sorf, the coutractors and a number of other people. The first shovelful of earth was moved by Dr. Cole and Mr. Reinstein. The site was christened by the opening of cham- pagne, which flowed quite freely for a few moments. Speeches were made by Dr. Cole and Mr. Reinstein regarding the bright pros- pects and benefits to be derived from the colleges. After this work was at once pro- ceeded with by Mr. Buckman, the con- tractor. A FORTY-NINER GONE. Death of George L. Faulkner, & Ploneer Printer of This City, in the Mexican Capital. George L. Faulkner, who for many years has been associated with the printing in- terest of this coast, died on September 13 in the City of Mexico. He was one of the early settlers of this State. He came here with his father, William Faulkner, in 1849, when a vouth, and established one of the first newspapers on the Pacific Coast, the Pucific News. Mr. Faulkner was a native of Norwich, Conn., born February 27, 1833, He came to San Francisco around the Hora in the sailing ship Trescott. In later years he started the first type foundry on this coast. He was well known and respected by all the printing fraternity, and ali the old pioneer printers and publishers will greatly regret to hear of his death. He was one of the early settlers of Oakland, and his family has resided there ever since. He was also a member of the So- ciety of Pioneers. NHGSLEYS MISFORTUNE Suit Brought to Foreclose a Mort- gage on His Beautilul Home. Bookmaking on a Racetrack Not as Easy a Game as Scme People Think. *Prince Charlie’” is practically broke. Five years ago he was worth a round hundred thousand. Yesterday suit was brought to foreclose a mortzage on his home. Charles H. Kingslev, the pool- room proprietor of Pauper alley, or “Prince Charlie,” as his friends were pleased to call him during his halcyon days, ha s at last met the gambler’s fate. Like many another of his ilk, he had a pyrotechnic sort of career, to the falling- stick period of which he has now come. Kingsley, who per<onally is a genial, gentlemanly, cheerful feliow, arrived in San Francisco about ten years ago. He is «aid to huve come direct from New York City, where he held a minor position in a pooiroom. Soon after his arrival here, however, he became interested in the management of e similar place on Leides- dorff street, and was the pioneerin this City of the reprehensible business which flourished for so long and was stamped out with so much difficulty. Ensconced in hisrevolving chair, behind the brass railing in his smoky room in “Pauper Alley,” Kingsley levied tribute on the n{mruvaly inclined downtown werkers. The dollars of the clerks were raked in as cheerfuliy and with as much regularity as were the twenties and hundreds of their employers. As tin.es went on, ‘‘Prince Charlie” grew rotund ana prosperous of appearance, and his bank account more than kept pace with the increase of his avoirdupois. When the poolrooms were forced to re- move to Oakiand in 1890, Kingsley was commonly reported to have laid aside $100,000 for the prospective rainy day. The people of the City of Churches, how- ever, refused to tolerate the presence of the gambling establishment in their city, and from the day of his removal there- from dcates Kingsiey’s downfall. It is said that all the stock in trade a pool- room proprietor needs is a slate and a piece of chalk, and that having them he will surely make money. With a bookmaker on the raccetrack it is different, Many a knight of the chaik and chamois has been forced to ‘‘turn his slate.” Such was Kingsiey’s fate. When he could no longer run his poolroom he sought the racetrack and there hung out his shingle. The luck that had been his seemed to have deserted him, or else the percentage obtainable -in the betting on foreign events was missing in the new field. At any rate, at the end of the first winter’s racing, the genial ““Charlie” was badly bent. A few months laier he w: reported ‘‘broke.” Whether the report was true or false Kingsley forsook the racetrack and em- barked in the mining business, in which pursuit he was supposed to have made quite a sum of money. If he did, he has since dropped it all, for last winter he was quite a constant attendant at the Bay Dis- trict Track, and was occasionally seen at 1nzleside. Kingsley possessed a beautiful home at 1546 P street, near the Golden Gate Park, and it is on this that the morteage is to be foreciosed. The Golden West Bnilding and Loan Society holds the docu- ment, &‘he mortgage was originally for the charltably disposed for supplies of cast-off | $6000, of Which $4950 is still unpaid, DON'T WANT THEIR WORK CRITICIZED The Health Officers Dislike the Report of the Grand Jury. THEIR CAUSTIC REPLY. Many New Political Positions Created at Yesterday's Session. DOCKERY'S NICE NEW JOB. Dr. Lovelace’s Long List of Buildings That He Wants Condemned by the Board. The much advertised reply of the Boara of Health to the recent report of the Grand Jury was read at the meeting of the former body yesterday, Secretary God- chaux going through twenty-three type- written pages filled with personalities and vituperation. The board found fault with the manner in which it had been criticized by the Grand Jury, and in answer descended to personal abuse, even going so far as to attack the characters and business pur- suits of some of the members of the jury. The board first gces into hysterics to the extent of fourteen pages, in an effort to prove that the criticism of the Grand Jury that the Health Department bas shown a ‘“fine scorn of economics,” is untrue, and then devotes seven vages to an attack on ex-Superintendent Weaver of the Almshouse, in an effort to show that the jury’s finding of his official efficiency was not borne out by the facts. The remainder of the report is devoted i{ the committee that signed it—Drs. art, Morse and Fitzgibbon—to throwing bouquets at the board. Having disposed of the mangled remains of the Grand Jury the board began the work of creating positions to eat up the additional $30,000 appropriation given by the Board of Supervisors on Monday last. The resignation of at least one employe, the stenographer, who consented to take the position when the pay was not at all | certain, was “‘accepted” and a friend of Dr. Morse was substituted. Positions were created and filled as fol- | lows: Chiei food and vinegar inspector, $200 per month, J. P. Dockery; chemist, $150 per month, W.T. Wenzell; veteri- nary surceon, $150 per month, J. O’'Rourke; health inspector, $100 per month, P. Millard; stenographer snd | typewriter. $60 per month, Mrs. M. Turner, vice Mrs. M. Sichel, resigned; three assistant fooc inspectors, $75 per gornh each, Messrs, Hanlon, Regan ana all. Dr. Lovelace recommended that build- ings at the following numbers be inspected with a view to condemnation: Nos 718, 720, 808, 1108, 1110, 1ii4, 1116 and 1120 Stockion ; 823, 825, 807, 80734 and 847 Clay; 734, 705, 639 and 635 Pacific; 3, 614, 7, 6,8, 10, 13, 14, 16}4 and 22 Fish alley; 724, 726 Washbington; 809, 811 and 813 Sacramento; 534 Vallejo; northwest corner of Jackson and Battery ; 416 and 418 Jackson. The board decided to see the structures atan.early date, Drs. Williamson and Fitzgibbon were appointed a committee to select uniforms for the emvloves of the board. —_— COQUETTISH CORBETT. The Astute Pugilist Seems to Be Play- ing One local Athletic Club Against Another. Prize-fighter Corbett seems to be playing fast and loose with local patrons of the manly art. For more than a weak he has been in almost daily telegraphic corre- spondence with the National Athletic Club, which has been trying to .get up a match between himself and Sharkey. The Nationals offered him $10,000 if he would come. Thechampion saia he would not accede to the proposition unless the cash were put up.. The club offered gilt- edged security, but Corbett remained ob- durate. Then -the club sent a telegram Eeomixlng to deposit the cash in case Cor- tt and Sharkey would each put up $5000 in coin to cover the wager. Corbett’s answer arrived by telegr?h last night. He declines the club’s offer on.the ground that he has been engaged by the Eureka Club. It is understood that the Eureka Club offered Corbett $12,000 for a match of ten ,Tounds, which offer the champion had re- fused to consider. Local sportsmen are entirely at sea as to what Corbett is driving at. ABE SRS L Theatrical Pienie.

For City and County Attorney—Archi- bald Barnard. Record of Naturalization, District Court ot the United States, September 21, 1896 —Archibald Barnard, a native of Canada, h‘mlttitn citizenship. The Mahoney-Kelly faction has been driven to its wits’ end to finda an attorney who would accept the nomination from its convention for the office of City and County Attorney. Try as it would not one lawyer could be brought to the scratch. So the next best thing was done. The one- wingers selected 8 man who never voted in the United States—an alien whose name does not appearon the great register, and who cannot vote in the coming elec- tion. Archibald Barnard was a favorite—a lone, solitary stand-by of the sideshow politicians—and it made little difference what his privileges were, or what claim he would have upon the people as a candi- date for the important offic: of City and County Attorney. They took him with open arms and gave Mr. Barnard, late of Canada, the ‘“‘glad hand.” To be sure Attorney Barnard was not a naturalized citizen of the United States, but then a little thing like that could be easily remedied. And as the District Court was regarded as a place sequestered from the eyes of men interested in politics the sideshow managers imagined that the remedy could be applied in that tribunal during a quiet moment and the world would be nothing the wiser of a record in the clerk’s office. \ Barnard jumped at the proposition pre- sented to him, even if it did go againstthe ¢rain to foreswear her gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria. From a subject to a citizen was a very dizzy tumble for a man wno declared his intention to become a citizen as far back as January, 1889. But it had to be taken. “I'm not a citizen,” he declared in agonized tones when asked to accept the nomination. *That’s all right. We’ll fix 1t, but keep mum,” was the assuring reply. This hlgpenad on September 21 and forthwith Barnard was .marched to the District Court, where, with the assistance of Attorneys Hoefler and Heenan as wit- nesses, he was naturalized. The follow- ing is a copy of the document which tells the story that did not pass unnoticed: [Page 5873.] UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. RECORD OF NATURALIZATION. In the Distfict Court of the United States for the Northern District of California. ARCHIBALD BARNARD, } Be it remembered, that on this 21st day of September, A. D., 1896, being a dayin the July term, A. D. 1896, o1 said court, Archibald Bar- nerd, a native of Cxnads, an_alien, and late a subjéct of the Queen of Great Britain and Ire- land, appeared in said court and applied to be admitted a citizen of the United States of Amer- ica, pursuant to the acts of Congress in relation thereto. And having thenand there produced and exhibited to the court a certified copy of his declaration of intention to become a citi- zen or the Uniled Stat s of America, made in the Sup: rlo- Court of the State of Californiain and for 1he City and County of San Franaisco on the 34 diy of January, 1889, and proved by the oathg of L. M. Hoefler and John Hee. nan, citizens of the United States, his residence wiilifn tie United States for ‘the last five In the Matter of the }fltunllnfion of vears and his residence w'thin the State for the last year, and by said witnesses and other _ satisfactory = proofs that he is entitled to be made a citizen of the United States, and having on oath -hen de- clared, before said court, that he will sup- port the constitution of the United States of America, and tnat he doth absolutely and en- tirely renounce and abjue all allegiance and fidetity to every forcign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever, and particu- larly fo Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, of whom he has hitherto been a sub- ject. Whereupon it is ordered by the court tnatsaid Archibaid Barnard be admitted, and he is hcreby adjudged- and deciared.o be a citizen of the United States of America. In open court. W. W. MorrOW, United States District Judge, Northern Dis- trict of California. Attest: SOUTHARD HOFFMAN, Clerk of said Distriet Court. Now, indeed, was Barnard a fit man for the Keliy-Mshorey faction to present as a candidate for the office of City and County Auornev of San Francisco. He was nomi- nated Wednesday night—two days after having been naturalized. WOMAN SUFFaAG: FLAG Within a Few Days Its Folds Will Wave Across Market Street. “Let’s have ‘Old Glory’ with all thestars init. All the States will give the ballot to women pretty soon, anyhow,” Thus spoke Mrs. Neilie Holbrook-Blinn at a conclave of Woman Suffragists yester- day, and thus the decision went. 2 For some time past friends of the woman suffrage movement had been of the opinion that a fine banner hung across arket street should mark the where- abouis of the Suffrage Bureau. But weeks passed, and there was nothing but ialk, until the Alameda County ladies gét to work and raised a subscription for tue purchase of the banner. The amount thus realized, with a small additional sum raised in this City, was forthwith devoted to the object designated. The flax will be 24 feet long by 18 feet wide, and attached to iis lower end will be the words, “Woman Suffrage Head- quarters” in large black letters on a white ground. The banner will be in place in a day or two. Itistobe hnnf across Market street, {rom the Parrott building to the opposite property, and will, it is hoped, prove effec- tive in attracting visitors to the burean. —————— Mulcted the Railroad.
