8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1896 GILD DEMOCRKTS ON THE TCET Bryan Democrats Were Not Able to Shut Them Qut. Effect of- a Decision Rendered Yesterday in the Supreme Court. ARE “NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.” The Supreme Judges Find This Title, Adopted at Indianapolis, Is Not Deceptive. The State Central Committee of the Bryanite Democracy failed yesterday to shut out the National Democracy, other- wise known as the “Gold Democrats,” from a place on the ticket under an ap- propriate designation. The Supreme Court decided that the gold Democrats are en- titled to designate their electors as the candidates of the National Democracy. The gola Democrats, learning what was in the wind, rellied in considerable force and put up strong arguments, which were found to be correct by the majority of the Supreme Court, sitting in bank. The court proceedings, which took place yesterday afternoon, were far from being devoid of general public interest. The gold Democrats sent up a delegation of attorneys, who sat in a block on one side of the courtroom. The representatives of the Bryidn Democracy sat together, and there was quite a collection of interested observers, mainly political. The proceed- ings had not advanced far, when Attor- ney-General Fitzgerald, who appeared in bebaif of the SBecretary of State, had a few whispered words with Mi. McEnerney. Then he rose and said that the vart of the application which he was pre- pared to argue would not be urged, so he had nothing to argue. This left the only issne before the Su- preme Court a straight-out fight between the two wings of the Democratic party, the National Democracy and the Bryanite Democracy. Justices Henshaw, Harrison, Van Vieet and Temple signed the foliowing opinion, which was rendered by Justice Henshaw: We are of the opinion that the application tfor a writ of manaate should be denied, hold- ing that the desiguation “National Demo- cratic’’ is not caleulated to deceive. Justice McFarland corcurred and de- livered the following opinion: Iconeur in the judgment; but I also think that the guestion, un uliar form which this position for a writ takes, was dej Secretary of State when i mined by the cepted and filed the certificate, and that Wi aciion cannot be reviewed on this proceeding. The dissenting Justices were Justice Garroutte and Chief Justice Beatty. Thne former simply wrote, “I dissent.” Chief Justice Beatty wrote: I cannot distinguish this case from the Dolan and Ewing cases, in which we held that can- dates nominated by petition are not entitled to u party designation, which’ might mislead voters. When the decision was received, which was late in the afrernoon, the telephone was kept busy ringing up those who had expressed a desire to be notified at once. A designation was forced upop us,” said Eaward R. Taylor, speaking for the goid Demociats, “by the Chicago conven- tion. We took up a name by which the Democratic party has been known for many years past. We are the Democratic party. We had to take some name and we are entitled to this.”” Robert Y. Hayne said for the gold Demo- crats: “1f our party choose to take the name of Democrat it does not lie with the court to say that Democrat means one par- ticular thing. The court can only inter- fere if deception is possible.” Garret McEnerney made the only argu- ment for the Bryan Democratic State Cen- tral Committee. He said that the desig- nation of National Democratic party on the ticket would tend to deceive voters. Tae Democratic (Bryan) party is the real Natlonal party, but does not use the name “National”” because it is unnecessary. But the omission of National from the %)emo- cratic designation did not entitle any other party to use tne Natlonal Ddmocratic title. In a copyright case this would be an infringement. Voters can be deluded by the use of this desjgnation. The dropping of the application for one designation wil! result in the Democratic (Bryan) and Populist electors being named twice on the ticket, according to Attorney- General's Fitzgerald’s view of the case, once under the heading of ‘‘Democratic Electors” and again under the heading of ‘‘People’s Party Electors.” BANES OF CALIFORH Report of the Commissioners to the Govermor of the State. An Actual Loss of More Than Four Millions of Cash in Thirteen Months. Paris Kilburn, J. B. Fuller and H. W. Magee, Bank Commissioners of California, have forwarded to Governor Budd the eighteenth report of the commission. The pumber of banks in the State is 303, Toral money in banks of California, in- cluding National banks, $21,775,362 50; total assets, $303,860,772 23; total amount due depositors, $202,663,602 34. The num- ber of commercial banks actively conduct- ing a banking business is 174. The incor- porated State savings banks number filty- seven. From an examination of the aggregate resources of the commercial banks, as shown by their reports of ‘June 17, 1895, as compared with the report of Juily 31, 1896, it will'appear that there has been a loss of $8,093,008 90 in resources during the year. The arourt of cash on bhand June 17, 1895, was $19,053,24842, and on July 31, 1896, $14,654,182 82, showing a loss in cash during a period of thirteen months of $4,399,065 This large reduction, says the report, ‘!is accounted for in some measure by the withdrawal from commer- cial use of $2,575,607 15 of county or public money, and also by th& distrust and con- sequent withdrawal of gold caused by tie financial agitation incident to the near approach of the Presidentzal election.” he savings banks have not lost a con- siderable amount. The number oi depos- itors in San Prancisco savings banks is 128,484; in interior savings banks, 31,372; total number, 159.856, making an average deposit of $82357. The ‘deposits in sav- ings banks on July 31, 1896, amounted t> $131,653,634. The Commissioners recommend some revision of the laws. It is their opinion that the merging of savings and commer- cial banks should be prohibited. The law should be amended providing' that when a bank is declared insolvent a re- ceiver should be appointed by the court to take charge of the affairs of the ‘bank while_it is in htigation, with ‘the power placed in the commission to fix the salary of the receiver. . t is also recommended that loans made to officers and directors of commercial banks should be approved by at least three members of the voard of ‘directors, who are not directly or indirectly interested in said loans; and that'said approval should be indorsed upon the note or obligation executed by the bank. It is recommended further that the re- ports of the president and secretary of a bank shall be revised by the directors. MRS. MARCEAU SUED Shreve and Company Want Payment for $1100 Worth of Goods. Shreve & Co., jewelers, filed suit yester- day against Mrs. Amanda J. Marceau for $1087 95 for goods sold and money loaned during the past year or so to the former wife of Theodore C. Marceau. The creditors’ attorneys, Fox & Gray, were busy late yesterday afternoon trying | to learn from Fresno just what real prop- | erty Mrs. Marceau possesses in that county and how heavily it is mortgaged, for they wish to geta lien on something. Soon after the divorce was granted Mr. Marcean brought suit against his former wife for $75,000, which he claimed to have loaned her at different times on her Fresno property. Yesterday that suit was dismissed at the request of the plain- tiff, who it is understood agreed to a com- promise on a cash settlement for $40,000. That amount Mrs. Marceau purposes to raise by mortgaging her Fresno property. Mr. - Short of Fresno, Mrs. Marceau's lawyer, was here yesterday to arrange for the transfer of the $40,000, a local building and loan association having agreed, it is said, to advance that amount on the Fresno real estate. !HUTEHINSU_N'S_ CRUELTY| Terrible Manner in Which Two Little Girls Were Mal- treated. A Father Who Beat His Children With a Poker and Drove Them From Home. . Jennie C. Burnett, guardian ad litem of Helen E. and Catherine Hutchinson, the | 15-year-old twin daughters of Joseph W. Hautchinson, yesterday brought suit | against the father to’comvel him to sup- port his offspring, and also askea for an order of court giving the plaintiff com- plete control of the two little girls. Hutchinson 1s the man who, in .April last, treated his motherless children so cruelly that they ran away from home and for nine days lived beneath the front steps of a vacant house on Mission street. They were discovered by the police and taken to the City Prison. During the period of their residence beneath the sieps the little outcasts lived on such things as they could get on their father's credit at | the grocery at which he traded. They ob- tained sardines, bread, eggs and a few other articles, cooking what they could in a tin can over the flame of a candle. ‘When the children were arrested Hutch- inson visited them and bid them good-by, saying he would leave them in charge of the police authorities. They were subse- quently sent to the ‘“Hill Home,” and trom there transferred to the residence of their present guardian, to whom Hutchin- son agreed to. pay $26 a month for their support. Recently the parent has refused to pay the $25and applied for the custody of the children, saying he intended to pat them in the Magdalen Asylum. Mrs. Burnett says that they are mild-mannered, well- behaved and gentle children, and thatit would be an outrage to confine them in a home for fallen women. She also says she isafraid that ir Hutchinsou secures con- rol of the girls he will again resort to the brutal treatment which first drove them trom home. He was accustomed to curse them and beat them with whatever insiru- ment came first to his hand. Among other articies the weight of which the children felt are a strop, an iron pokerand an iron hammer. e e PHRENQLOGY EXPLODED. Meets Its Death at the Hands of Scien- tific Men. The subject of phrenology has, for a number of years, been discussed in all | It has had a num- | parts of the country. ber of advocates who believed that it was a science, or who pretended to believe that it was a science. study of the subject in a greater or lesser Cegree, believed some of the demonstra- tions, while others, too intelligent to be deceived by charlatanism, unhesitatingly pronounced the alleged science a fraud. The force of the phrenological wave has now been broken because the leading scientific writers, journalists and popular authors, not alone of this country, but of the entire civilized world have now prac- tically come to the conclusion that the study is a delusion and asnare. As a con- sequence in every advanced circie these men are dealing death blows to the deceit as will appear from the varied and lucid extracts on the subject which are here appended : ““A person exercises a justifiable and even a philesophical degree of caution in withholding his assent from phrenology.’” Penny Cyclopedia, London, 1840, vol. XVIII, page 120. “Phrenology is _almost played out.”’— Public Opinion, Dunedin, New Zealand, June 4, 1881, “That phrenology has arrived or is likely to arrive at the dignity of a science is denied or doubted by the best physiolo- ists.”’—Cassell’s Concise Cyclovedia, Lon- on, 1883, “Phrenology * * * was wrong in its theory, Wrong in its facts, wrong in its in- terpretations of mental processes, ana never led to the slightest practical re- sults,” —Popular Science Monthly, New York, October, 1889, ““The exploded science of phrenology.”— Dr. Manouvier, anthropologist and French scientist, in the Scientific American Sup- | plement; New York, June 18, 1892. “Phrenology does not make much head- It seems to live largely upon flat- —Tit-Bits, London, July 23,1892. ‘ests had proved that phrenology * * * was, in the mgin, a mess of error.’’— Dr. A.

The event was the first.of what is to be annual parades. They presented an imposing and mag- nificent appearance. There were 390 plain policemen in line, forming the fifteen compfnies of the department. Two offi- cers, a sergeant and corporal were also afoot with each company, and five cap- tains were either mounted orafoot. Aside from these there were a dozen mounted officers, making in all about 450 pol cemen in full regalia, bright, clean and active, in the parade. All along the line of march, from Spear and Market streets to and along Van Ness avenue, the sidewalks were aimost im- passable, so crowded were they with peo- ple, who did not hesitate to give vent to their admiration by prolonged cheers. The Police Commissioners, Alvord, T obin and Gunst, who were near the head of the procession and who reviewed the men, were more than gratified at their showing and, through Chief Crowley, they 80 expressed themselves to Captain Witt- man’s command in Assembly Hall after the parade. : *‘Men,” said the Chief, “I want to say iel was repentant and took John to the Receiv- ing Hospiial. ¢ —_———————— No Excursion to Canton.

Another Pathetic Letter From the Heart of the Moslem Kingdom. TRADE STOP?, MURDER REIGNS Relatives in the Sultan’s Benighted Land Send a P teous Appeal to Their C.usin Here. A letter has reached San Francisco from | the heart of the Armenian massacres, an appeal from the terror-stricken there to their relative in this City, asking bim to send them money forthwith to enable them to hasten to this asylum of the op- pressed. The gentleman who received the letter dare not give his name, for it would get him in trouble with the Turkish anthori- ties, through the Consul here. The letter, however, gives a vivid idea of the horrors to which Christians are sub- jected and suggests the extent of the heartless murders there raging by royal command. It is the fear of the addressee of the let- ter and of others who know a great deal of Turkish affairs that the scheme of the Turks is io raise the green flag, called “Sanjack She’eiff”’—which means ‘‘the holy banner’—and wheh that is raised no Christian is spared, no quarter is given, :\_m;l1 all in sight are killed without hesita- 1on. b The letter received is as follows: CONSTANTINOPLE, August 29, 1896. My Dear C.usin: On the 26th of this month, heard some loud reports from the neighbor- hood of Galata. We at once quit our work and ran to the windows and we noticed that all the stores on our streets were closed. Just a little while after that I saw carloads of wounded and dead coming from the direction of Galata. They were of all nations, but most of them were Armenians. At this time there were re- jorts of roaring guns and this lasted until 10 “/clock in the evening. The Kurds and Softas of our street were all on foot with the tradi- tional batons in their hands. With this terror we heard that the Armenians had surrounded the Ottoman Bank. We were so terrified that I could not come out until half-past 10 in the night. Then joining with some comrades we took the train from Sirkadji and went home. At home 1 found your mother and sisters pale and sick through fear, because they had heard all the reporis. We passed that night in great fear, because all the Turks were very excited, but, thank God, we have ‘not been molested et. b4 On Thursdey morning we did not work, be- cause all the stores and shops were closed.

It is a beautiful custom _prevailing among the Armenians and native Chris- tians of Turkey for relatives who feel that they are nearing the shadow of the valley of death to send their distant relatives locks of their hair to keep- like little im- mortelles as a suggestion of the meeting again. In view of this fact the reference in the letter beeomes significant and beau- tiful, and altogether it is a pathetic picture of the horrors of life among the cruel butchers of unspeakable Turkey.
