THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, NON-PARTISANS' LABOR ENDED With the Exception of Two Blanks the Ticket Is Filled. Lachman Nominated for Super- visor From the Sixth Ward. WRANGLE OVZR LEGISLATORS A County Committee Appointed, With Full Powsr to Act for the Convention. With the exception of two names the Non-Partisans completed their ticket last night, The business was concluded with a dispatch which spoke volumes for the adroitness of the powers, visible and in- visible, which swayed the destinies of the convention. The attendance was so small that the lecture hall of the Academy of Sciences, small as it is, had a deserted, lonesome look. Barclay Henley reported that the Ju- diciary Committee had decided mnot to propose any one for nomination to the office of District Attorney, leaving the nomination to th e convention at large. Jeremiah Lynch of the committee on legislative nominees, presented the fol- lowing report: Your committ ee on legislative nominees beg leave to submit for your consideration the fol- lowing eandidates from the various Senstorial nd Assembly distriets. only way, however, in which we have allowed the Senatorial question to interfere has been in the division of candidates between the parties. The candidates here named have been divided equally between the two National parties, in one district only the Repubiicans adopting & Populist- Republican, Calvin S, Ewing. The Republicans have been given two Sena- tors and the Democrats three and the Republi- cens ten Assemblymen and the Democrats eight. 1n order that the best effect may be given to the moral influence of our indorse- ment, Republicans have been recommended in Republican districts and Democrats in Demo- cratic districts. the candidates upon this list havesigned ollowing pledge: 8ax FRANCISco, Cotober 1, 1896, I hereby promise that if I 'am elected to the Legislature I will by my vote aod influence en- deavor to secure the adoption of the new charter in its entirely and without amendment by the Legisiature. And I also promise that I will, by my vote and influence, preveit the passage of any lecislative enactment that shall in any man- ner impair the usefulness or destroy the efficacy of the present Australlan bal.ot law, or the so- called purity of ‘election law.

Employes In Factories and Foundries to Be Addressed During Lunch. The bright new banner waving across Market street attracted many visitors to the Woman Suifrage Bureau yesterday. In the forenoon the joint campaign association held a large and enthusiastic weeting, Mrs. A. A. Sargent presiding. Reports from all the precinet presidents in the City and State were read, and the out- look was judged more than promising. The committee decided in fayor of in- formal meetings to be held during the lunch hour in the vicinity of the various factories, foundries and other places where large numbers of men are employed. | While aisposing of the contents of their | lunch-pails, the men will have a chance to | hear some sound speeches on political | equality, and to receive a few simple in- structions as to the right way to vote. The bureau has just received from the printers a large stock of woman-suffrage literature in pamphlets and leaflets.

Zeile, who shouted : “] vote ‘No’ in order to show my con- tempt for the action of the convention in this matter. It we continue in this way we wil! make ourselyes ridiculous. We should not mix City politics with State and National affairs. I shall oppose any motion having a tendency in that direc- tion.” And thus, with the substitution of M. J. Welch for Mr. Tyrrell, and two blanks, one caused by the elimination of the name of Mr. Dennery, the list was voted on as a whole and the candidates nominated unanimously in the twinkling of an eye. Mr. Henley presented a resolution point- | ing to the spoils system as the root of all municipal evil and advocating civil ser- vice in the City government. This was adopted. Another resolution giving to the County Committee fnll power to fill vacancies on the ticket was also adopted. The following resolutions, introduced by Frank J. Sullivan, were also carried: WHEREAS, The Superior Court of every city and county in the State of California may ap- point court commissioners, whose dJuties are defined by secilon 259 of the Code of Civil Procedure, Resolved, That it is the sense of this conven- tion_that our nominees for Superior Judges shall in no case vote to appoint or to retain auy attorney who isa partner or employe of any legel firm as such court commissioner; Resolved, That this convention will require writien assurances from its nominees to that effect. On motion of L. R. Elfert, the nomina- tion for Supervisor from the Sixth Ward was next taken up, the candidates being John Lachmann and Attorney Henry E. Monroe. The vote stood 31 to 9 in favor of the first-named nominee, and Mr. Lach- mann’s nomination was declared unani- mous. Mr. Lynch_reported that Elliott Mc- Allister and William A. Plunkett had re- signed the nominations for School Di- rector. The resignations were accepted and B. J. Waller and E. J. Gailagher unanimousty elected to the vacancies. Barclay L{’;nley and W. 8. Barnes were then proposed for nomination to the office of District Attorney. Mr. Henley declin- 1ng the nomination Mr. Barnes was nom- inated by acclamation. Mr. Le Breton moved that the chairman be instructed to appoint twenty-four mem- bers from the County Commiztee to serve during the campaign and until the next convention, and that Mr. Fitch, the chair- man, be added thereto. Mr. Fitch made the following sppoint- ments: Ludwig Altschul, Charles Ashton, Joseph le efforts should be put forth to | tions. The concert promises to be a grand event. D. M.

She Was Condoied With During Sev- eral Hours, but Arthur Mills Was Not Dead. Mrs. Busan Mills, who lives at 707 Shot- well street, near Twenty-first, bad a sin- gular and very unpleasant experience last evening. Her son, Arthur Mills, was badly hurt in an accident Thursday even- ing while riding on an electric car on the Mission-street line. The motorman per- mitted thecar to collide with a cart loaded with iron pipe and Mills was struck by the pipe. He is well known about town, be- ing in the insurance business and em- ployed by Montgomery Briggs on Cali- fornia street. The news that he was hurt was pub- lished in THE CaLL yesterdsy morning. All day caliers went to the Mills beme to express regret. Late yesterday afternoon the rumor spread about that Mills had died from his injuries. This startling news brought gtief-stricken friends of the young man who met his mother with trembling voices and tearful eyes. Itgave Mrs. Mills a shock to hear the friends say that her boy was dead, and when this was repeated several times she was much de- pressed, although she knew that he lives and will probably recover. But all through the evening mourning friends and relatives arrived to extend condolence, Mrs. Mills spoke last night of the shock which nad been given her. She said that her son, who is her principal support, will recover if blood-poisoning does not set in. His escape was narrow. ‘He was badly cut and lost a great deal of blood. His friends will begin a suit against the Market-street Railway Com- pany for damages, claiming that the acci- dent could easily have been avoided. Four or five persons other than Mills were in- ured moreor less. A young man named ones, who lives on Ban Carlos avenue ‘had his back hurt and yesterday hobbled about half doubled up. His injuries are less serious than the hurts of Mills. —————— The Siiver Question and Hard Times. John J. Valentine, president of Wells, Kargo & Co., contributes a masterly article to this week’s News Letter on the above all- absorbing tepic. The free-silver fallacy is made so apparent by this writer's able reasoning an no voter should fail to re- fresh his mind by perusing the facts so ably set forth therein.

A Brisk Traffic in His Photos Is Carried On by a Business Agent. So Far No Cures Are Officially with a hand grown to the size of a base- ball catcher’s mitten. Each of these cases, the ailment being so apparent, were given extra time so that this count would stand for a fair average of the day. According to this count—the number passing and the sales of photographs—the revenue must have netted an hour for more than eight hours. This makes no allowance for the dollars and even $5-pieces that are often handed to the agent. The coat-pocket of the salesman where he kept the coin bulzed out like an open mailbag and was so heavy that it dragged the coa!down to one side and threw the man and the garment badly out of poise. Bat still the chink of the falling coin went on, and the soft-voiced man with the rapt, prayerful expression kept pass- ing the purchasers along. All of them seemed satisfied, however—there is- that to be sad; They had been blegsed and seemed to feel that they had reeeived their money’s worth. The Kearny-street cars did @ big business carrying cripples and the blind and the infirm. But those who had to pay car fare to reach the place were also compelled to pay the corpera- tion to carry them awsy—for they were not made able to walk. Not a few un- heppy people hobbled along on their cruiches both to and from the place, with as much difficuity returning as going to the healer. CHARTER QUESTIONS. A Contiruation of the Interrogatories of the Charter Association, The following questions on the charter l have been submitted for publication : Who appoints at present the clerks and em- ployes in the service of the City? They are appointed by the heads of each de- partment of the City government, How are they appointed ? Acoordlnf to their politics and political “pull” or influence, and generally without any regard to their ability or fitness for the vositions. Does any principle of civil service now exist in the selection of City clerks and employes ? Absolutely none. What provisions are in the new charter on civil service? lame seeking a charm that might enable them to walk erect. If there be some individual in this great City who believes that the age of simplic- ity and credulity has passed by let him visit the International Hotel while Schra- der, the “Divine Healer,” remains there going through his pantomime of blessing and healing. The throng of unfortunates that have stood in line for the past three days waiting to be blessed and cured have not the assurance presented them of a sin- gle cure. Despite the uninterrupted suc- cession of failures, however, the line of waiting invalids constantly lengthens, ‘the crowd at the door increases, and the mar- vel of it is that every man ana woman in the throng seems to be there with the most profonnd faith—with no thought whatever that they are being imposed upon. The ‘‘healer” yesterday moved to new but adjacent quarters. His business was 80 large that it materially interfered with the business of the hotel, and he was re- quired to make new arrrangements. There is, or has been, a vacant storeroom in the block and he engayed this. A large plain table was placed in the farther extremity of the room and at one end of 1t and in the corner of the room the “‘healer” took his stand. At the oth®r end of the table, at the other corner of the room, the ‘‘agent,”” with a large, leather, open- mou‘;hed bag full of photographs, took his stand. The door was opened and a gruff, loud- voiced man ordered the people to keep in line one behind the other, and thus they marched to the corner where stood the man who had made himself up to look like Onrist. A passing of the hand over the forehead, a touch on the breast and on the stomach, a clasping of his hauds over the handkerchief, a looking upward for a brief instant, and then the sufferer was passed on to the agent with his photo- graph for sale. Every individual was re- quired to pass out behind the long table at the end of which was the tradesman. Yesterday the photograph dealer put a price_upon his wares—that is, he had a limit on the minimum. « When the sufferer approached the man with the vhotogrsghu, the latter inquired if he would not buy. The sufferer in- quired the price. If the man or woman wore the appearance of having indefinite sums of money the answer would be, “Anything you choose to give.” If, in reaponse, the sufferer chose to give 10 cents, the agent would brusquely re- fuse, declaring that the cards cost 12 cents. If the sfflicted }:omon wore the appear- ance of carrving little coin and there was ikerefore no expectation of receiving a larger sum the agent would, to the ques- tion of cost, answer directly, “'25 cents.” The photographs are of cabinet size, roughly made by an urknown New York photographer, and, as everybody knows, .may be bought in quantities for 3 cents eacti. Not more than one in ten passed with- out purchasing, ~According to a count be- un at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, it ust took thirty-two mindtes for 100 per- sons to-pass.

Mrs. Nettie R. Craven Granted Six Months’ Leave of Absence. DIRECTOR MURDOCK RESIGNS, Richmond Parents Protest That the Health of Their Children Is in Danger. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Education was held last night. The Commiitee on Rules’ report was adopted, to the effect that Miss Kate F. Quinlan be granted a leave of absence from October 5 to October 10. The report of the Comuiittee on Judi- ciary was referred to the committee of the whole board. It represented that the Farallone Islands are within the City and County limits of San Francisco, and that 1f there are the necessary number of chil- dren on these islands they are entitled to & school with the same effect as if they were in the City proper. There are sev- eral applications for the position of teacher, and as the United States lighthouse offi- cials on the islands have stated in their petition for a school that there is a suffi- cient number of children there it is be- lieved a school will be established on the bieak Farallones. The Committee on Salary recommended that the salary of Mrs. Mayberry, teacher of sewing in the Irving Scott 'Prlmuy School, be fixed at §50 a month; that the salary of Miss Anna Love of the Starr King Primary School be $83 a month ; that of the principal of the Horace Mann Even- ing School be §75, and of Miss Mary W. Busteed, principal of the Fairmount Even- ing School, be $60 a month, The report was adopted. Superintendent Babcock submitted an amendment to section 169 of the rules, which refers to the appointment of pro- bationary teachers. His recommendation was that if such teachers be finally elected they shall not be dismissed, except after a fair hearing, and only for violation of the rules of the Board of Education, or for incompetency, insubordination, profanity, intemperance, unprofessional or immoral conduct. The amendment was adopted. The petition from the people of the Richmond district was read as follows: ‘We, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers residing 1u the Eighteenth Precinct of the Thirty-eighth Assembly. District, fespecttully ask you to consider the following pétition: Our children, who are in the first, second and third standards, have been satiending the school situated upon the corner of Geary street and First avenue, which is only six short blocksfrom here, but they are now requested 1o attend the Park School, situated on Sixth avenue, near Fulton street, which is about eleven long blocks from here; and whereas, the children are all very small, they will also have to go for five blocks along asidewalk which skirts the edge of a high, dangerous and totally unprotected embankment of the old racetrack, aiter which they will have to cross two dangerous car-tracks, viz., the Geary and Sacramento. We, therefore, respectiully ask you to allow our children to attend the Geary street and Firsg avenueschool as here- tofore, as the school is very much nearer, free from danger in going and returning, more suited to the children and agreeable to ourselyes. Another petition signed by residents of various parts of the_ district praying for prompt action regarding the Sixth-avenue School was read. Itstated that heaps of manure were piled near the schoolhouse and that there was no outiet for the sewer, by which the children’s health was menaced. Director Henderson replied that the building stood on sand and its sanitary condition was perfect. A letter from the Point Lobos Improve- ment Club asking for postponement of action on the matter was read by the Superintendent. The board deferred ac- tion for another week. The Committee on Rules recommended that Mrs. Nettie R. COraven be granted leave of absence for six months from October 1, 1896, to April 1, 1897. “Mrs. Craven has been sick for six months or more,” said Director Murdock, “and she has not been at the school for a long time. It might be a quite graceful thing for her to !Oligfl. so that the school be put in proper hands. For myself, I don’t feel like patting a mortgage on the school for six months by’ giving her leave of absence.’” Director Knox said that it was quite regular to grant the request, as it had been done in other cases. Dr. Clinton left the chair and declared that Mrs. Craven was entitlea to a leave of absence, and the board had no moral right to refuse it. The request was granted, Murdock alone voting no. The following preamble and resolution were presented by Director Murdock : ‘WHEREAS, The appropriation for the support of the public schools for the ensuing year is 140,000 less than was expended for that pur- pose during the past year, and it is evident the schools cannot be maintained for the entire year at the present rate of expenditures; and whereas, it devolves upon the bonratg thoroughly investigate the situation and determine what action shall be taken in the serious emergency; therefore be 1t TResotved, That the president be asked o ap- point five members, who, with the Superin- tendent, the president and acting president, shall constitute a special committee, which shall Teport at its earliest couvenience, max- ing such recommeudations as they think roper regarding the conduct of the schools. R‘nny shall specially report their conclusions on the following points 1. What action can be taken by the board to restrict miscellaneous expenditures to the lowest possible sum consistent wiih the wants of the schools and to restrict committees to purchases or expenditures approved or au- thorized by a majority of the board. 2. To what extent the expenditures for special teachers can be reduced without se- rious disadvantage to the scnools. 8. What consolidation of classes can be ju- diclously made? 4. Isitadyisable to increase the number of pupils in any of the classes ? 5. Whether the salaries of janitors may be reduced without injustice. 6. Whether the inevitable deficit, should the schools be continued for the year, shall be met by a reduction of the salary schedule or by withholding a portion of the vacation salary. 7. 11 by a reductien of salaries, to submit f schedule that b‘rlgld economy in_ other di- rections may enable us to continue the schools for the year within the appropriation. “1 agree with Director Murdock,” said Director Carew. “This is a very serious has decided not to prosecute the employe who stole about a ton of the history plates and sold them toa local firm. Speaking of the matter Jast night, Mr. Richards said: “I have become convinced that an out- side party, once employed by the firm, is the real criminal. He will probably be arrested soon, but I think there are rea- sons why we will let the old employe, whose wife died, go free. He has been a man of s0rrow. “The other plates stolen were Pelton’s ‘Sunbeams and Shadows.’ There was a scheme to sell the history plates and other valuable works at 3 cents a pound.” It requires a good deal of faith to doubt. question. If the Bupervisors or any per- son outside of this board comments with- out reason on the School Department and then reduces the appropriation, that is no reason why the salaries of teachers should be reduced. Iam opposed to touching teachers’ salaries, and believe that this wkole matter should be submitted to a committee of the whole,” Director Comte moved to refer to a com- mittee of the whole, which was done. The questions will be considered next ‘Wednesday night. On motion the sanitary condition of the Richmond schoolhouse will be investi- gated by Directors Clinton and Soper, who mll invite a Health Officer to accompany iem. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. A resolution that Miss Edith Stafford be elected a member of the evening substi- tute class was carried, at which Director Murdock grew angry and resigned his office. g Instantly there was a motion to lay the resignation on the table. £ “Ido hope, gentlemen, this motion will not prevail,’”” said Mr, Murdock. “My vote 1s of no value in this board, and the only way I can protest is to resign. Teach- ers and others have been after me all the time with petitions to ad mit them to teach. Ithought 1 could stand this for three months more, but I am tired of the ex- travagant méthods of the board.” The Directors promised nat to sign any more of these petitions and extended the “glad hand'’ to Mr. Murdock while laying hfx resolution on the table.
