. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1896. MAKE PORT UNDER SHORTENED SAIL The French Warship Du- guay Trouin Has Arrived. She Used Both Sail and Steam While Gaining an En- trance. MADE A PRETTY PICTURE. Trouble Is Brewing in South Amer- ica amd Several Vessels Are Ordered There. The French warship Duguay Troumn will not remain in port after to-day. She was to have gone to Mare*Island for a thorough overhauling, but the Venezue- lan guestion seems tobe no nearera set- tlement than ever, and warships are in demand in South America. The Trounin was to have remained here a month, and after docking at the Mare Island yard a thorough overhauling was to have been given her. Now, however, all this has been changed, and the vessel will sail for Guaysquil this afternoon. None of the men have been given shore liberty, and the sailors are angry in consequence. Every man aboard is on waiting orders, and the chances are that the gunboat may trip her anchor and sail at a moment’s notice. The Duguay Trouin made a very pretty picture as she entered port a few days ago. The engines were undera slow bell, and Captain Bavle was making all the use possible of his sails. The departure cf the Trouin without allowing the men shore liberty will spread consternation among the French colony. The United States cruiser Philadelphia got into port yesterday. Her destination also uncertain. She came here from Puget Sound, but whether she will go to | first importance. More than gold or sil- ver or the choice of an_executiye of the Nation was the question of the life or death of the community. To live as long as possible is a duty. He who neglects to do this commits suicide. There was a iygienic law of self-defense. Nations erect fortifications and teach children self-defense. Only recently bad it been realized that there was as much need to teach the mind as to steel the arm; there was as much necessity for guarding the lives arainst noxious gases as for providing fortifications and heavy guns for defense against hostile nations. People did not take care of themselves nor of the public health. The individual should care for his health because the in- dividual is the cornerstone of the public health. More people die from a careless treatment_ of natural diseases than irom the vicissitudes of the battlefield. In a hundred fashions people commit suicide; by gorging, by alcoholic stimulants, by highway robbery of rest, turning night into day, by poison, by the inhalation of poison. The law of God bade men to live long in the land. The vanity of men taught them to let to-morrow take care of itself. The first duty of a wellordered com- munity was to provide the means by which the lives of the public can be pro- longed. In Queen Elizabeth’s time the mortality in London was 40 and a fraction in the 1000. Now the death rate in Lon- don was only 19 to the 1000. That makes London the healthiest city in the world. That was strange, for in London and the suburbs are at least 5,000,000 people. The city is so crowded that the authorities have to allot the cubic space. There are thousands who are homeless, without medical attendance. driven to excesses. Chicago and New York were the bealth- iest cities in the United States, in spite of MAY YET OBTAN MY OBSERVATOR New Trial Ordered Con- cerning the Spence Trust. A Partial Victory Scored for the University of Southern California. STORY OF A TELESCOPE. It Was to Be the Largest on Earth, but the Lenses Were Sold to Chicago. In a decision banded down in the Su- preme Court yesterday the judgment of the Superior Court in the case of Anna M. so much vice, hunger and poverty. The Spence, executrix of the last will of E. F. i d managed the bUsiness of the trust. Bo ‘When Spence died the surviving trustees continued in possession of and cared for the trust property. September 7, 1893, Mrs. Anna M. Spence began an action and the Superior Court canceled and set aside the conveyance of the property from Spence to the trustees, and also denied a new trial. Then the case came on appeal to the Supreme Court, from which a de- cision 1ssued yesterday. The Supreme Ccurt found that the trus- tees intended to go ahead with the per- formance of the terms of the trust, and that the University of Southern California has never consented to the abandonment of the trust. Justice McFarland dissented. He saw no reason to dispute the judgment of the lower court. The conditions can never be fulfilled, for the trust provided that Spence should approve of the choice of the site for the observatory, but Spence was dead. Again the trust provided that four trustees should concur in the per- formance of ‘certain essential matters, but this was impossible, as three of the six were dead, the number including Bovard, to whom special powers were entrusted. No conservatory, such as was contem- plated in the trust, could be erected, and no selection of site could be made in the manner specified. NO MORE A REFUGE. The Old French Hospital Rented to Lumber-Dealers. The old French Hospital on Bryant street, between Fifth and Sixth, will no more be the refuge of the afflicted. It has been rented for §200 a month to Harris & Jones, dealers in lumber. The company will use the grounds to relieve its over- crowded yards, and it is understood will fit the building up with machinery for manufacturing dressed lumber. The building was erected in 1852, and was used continuously up to eighteen months ago by the French Mutual Bene- fit Society as a hospital. Then it was oc- cupied by the Salvation Army at a rental which was little more than nominal. The present arrangement is considered one of advantage to the society, although the rent is not high for the extensive premises. It is understood that the ar- rangement now entered into with Harris & Jones will result eventually in a sale. The society values the property at $60,000. — - . Day’s i-ecord of the Morgue. J. . Mooge, a clerk, aged 40, committed sui- cide yesterday morning by asphyxiating him- self with gasin the closet of his room at 20 Ninth street. The suicide bored a hole in the closet and then attached a rubber hose to the asjet and thence to the hole in the door. The 5ecensed was found crouched on the floorin a corner of the closet. Moore has been out of work for some time and committed the rash act as the result of despondency. Three other cases, ail natural causes, were reported at the Morgue vesterdar, as follows: John Titus, plumber, 230} Third street; Frank Holland of Fresno, found dead on section 1 of the sea- wali; H. Hendrickson, died at the Celifornia- street Police Station. Holland was an expert pool. uyclrlsng Jvas known in sporting circles 1holland. e TV AP e Ay : s The French Warship Duguay Trouin as She Appeared Making Port a Few Days Ago. Captain Bayle Brought All the Sails Possible Into Requisition. Mare Island or South America remains to be seen. In the mean time she swings to an anchor in Mission Bay, and keeps the Duguay Trouin company. *“Is there any trouble down south?” is the general ques- tion asked along the front just now. The Kilbrannon may not come to San Francisco aiter all. The purchase price has not been paid, and the Fearless may come back to this port light, The big tug sailed yesierday with the lighter in tow, and on her arrival at Port Townsend Captain Randall will make 'all the neces- sary arrangements. If the owners of the Kilbrannon do not want a tow, then the tug will come back light. If they do then the ship wiil be towed to San Francisco for repairs. The steamer Umatilla was floated yes- terday, and the chances are that she will bein San Francisco inside of a month. Captain C. Miner Goodall has been a thorough success as a “‘wrecker,”’ and the company is more than pleased. The_British tramp Flintshire got in from Yokohama yesterday. She was in ballast, but took twenty-six days to make the run. She will load wheat for Europe. The steam schooner National City put in here yesterday in order to unload some machinery from Eureka. Some repairs have to be made to C. A. Hooper’s mills at Eureka, and in consequence the machinery bad to come to San Francisco. To accommodate the mili-owners the steamer took the stuff and put in here to deliver it. PONIARD N EACH POUNC. Dr. Voorsanger Deciares That Death Lurks in Bad Food. Scientific Sanitation of Greater Local Value Than the Maintenance of Forts Dr. Voorsanger delivered a Friday evening lecture at the Temple Emanu-ElL last night, taking for his subject “The Health of the City and the Duty of the Citizens Toward It.” Dr. Voorsanger said that the subject was suggested by an agitation last sum- mer. The Board of Health asked the Board of Supervisors to inccease its ap- propriation, making a figure which was then considered prepusterous. Good vork was done, and the appropriation as brought up to $57,000 for the present ear, and - this enabled the Board of ealth to organize the sanitary work on a scientific basis, For this the Supervisors deserve thanks. The health of the community was of | with sanitation. explanation was sanitation and the lib- eral expenditure of money to preserve the people’s health. Since 1878 there have not been more than a few sporadic cases of yellow fever in Southern cities. Formerly there was an annual epidemic. Sanitation was the explanation, with cleanliness, flooding of streets and medical skill. A careless community makes a careless government. If the people of San Francisco were not so indifferent concerning the important mat- ter of the health of the children no Board of Supervisors would ever permit any hoard of competent physicians to come before them as beggars. The competent inspection of milk in New York had reduced the mortality of children in that city by at least 18 per cent. The food of the people of San Fran- cisco needed to be inspected. Pounds of fish, meat and vegetables were being smuggled into San Francisco, and in every pound was a poniard to stab some poor sufferer to death because of its taint. No armed fleet, shooting the City to pieces, could effect such ruin as may enter through the Golden Gate in the shape of a plague. Competent quarantine regulations were necessary. No body of men or immigrants had the right, by their own unsanitary condition, to threaten the public health. The filth of Chinatown deserved attention. Professor Macewen had said at Cooper College that San Francisco had a great danger—not the Chinaman, but China- town—and that in his travels all over the world he had never viewed elsewhere such unsanitary conditions as existed in China- town. Every man had a doty in connection Every man_should up- bold a competent Board of Health, that the standard of sanitation of San Francisco might be as high as that of any other community, and that the people might live long in the land that the rd their God hath given them.

Now, that counter-attractions no longer exist and the popularity of this fair is so well estab- lished, the ladies in charge of the booths look for and have made preparations to receive and entertain the many who have promised to visit them, The fair presented a very lively appearance last evening, and there is no doubt but that the few remaining evenings will wit- ness crowds night!v in attendance. The ladies express the hope that the deferred visits of their many friends will be made between now and the 20th inst., on which eveninz the fair will be brought to a close. The many discom- forts to which visitors are generally subjected are not noticeable in this fair, nor are they permitted.

This has more | than a passing interest. E. F. Spence, during his life, conveyed to M. M. Bovard, H. Sinsabaugh, J. P. Wianey, P. M. Green, R. M. Widney and himself, as trustees of an express trust, certain lots of land in Los Angeles Coanty. His purpose was to provide means for the purchase and establishment of a great astronomical observatory, which should be an adjunct of great value to the Uni- versity of Southern California. This was to be known ab the Spence Observatory. _ The scheme was a large one. A feature of it was the ambition which Mr. Spence en- tertained to have the observatory equipped with the largest telescope in existence, in fact that it should have a forty-inch lens. The observatory was to be abso- lutely the property of the University of Southern California, to be managed by the trustees of that institution. The trust was accepted. The conveyance bore date of January 22, 1889. When the news was first made public that Mr. Spence had provided for the biggest telescope in the world for Southern California the an- nouncement caused a great stir in scien- tific and educational circles. One of the tirst acts of the six trustees was to authorize Alvan Clark & Sons of Boston to contract with M. Mantois of Paris for the purchase of a forty-inch telescope at the cost of 80,000 francs. The agreement was that the trustees would gn{ 20,000 francs when the first lens was elivered, 20,000 francs upon the delivery of the second lens, and the balance of the contract price, 40,000 francs, one year after the second payment should have been made. When the first lens was done the trustees borrowed $5500 with which to mace the first payment. That was the only payment for which the trustees made provision. The money for the first lens was borrowed from the State Loan and Trust Company of Los Angeles, to which the trustees gave their note and also & mortgage on the land donated by Spence. The first 20,000 francs went to Paris and M. Mantois worked on the second lens and in time delivered it to Alvan Clark & Sons. But when the second lens arrivad there was no money on hand to be used in paying for it. The trustees had a great deal of serious talk about the situation. J. P. Widney was the president of the University of Southern California at that time. He conferred with Mr. Spence, and the two agreed that the best thing that could be done under the circumstance was to sell the two lenses and to begin all over. Mr, Bl?enee died soon after this, on September 19, 1892, The two lenses were sold to the University of Chicago and a part of the money was devoted to taking up the mortgage on the Spence lots. The evi- dence which has been taken during the litization developed that the lenses were sold at a profit over the original cost price. ‘While Messrs. Bovard and Spence lived T0 TR FOR FREDOW Habeas Corpus Proceedings in Behalf of Louis Green- wa'd. His Attorney Claims That His Term of Imprisonment Is More Than Up. Application has been filed with Judge Ross of the United States Circuit Court for leave to file a petition for a hearing, under writ of habeas ccrpus, of the case of Louis Greenwald, now serving a s'x years’ term in San Quentin for smuggling opium. The application has been filed by Crandall & Buli, who have been engaged for the purpose. It will be heard in open court on Monday, the United States At- torney having been notified. This is a re- vival of the famous Emerald smugghnz case. Greenwald, together with George Wick- ham and George Thomas, were sentenced on the 15th of June, 1894, under a convic- tion of a ‘‘conspiracy to smuggle opium,” to undergo an imprisonment of two years on each of three counts and to Bay a fine of $2000 on each of the same, the second tern not to begin until the expiration of the first term and the payment of the fine. The attorneys will plead for the imme- diate release of Greenwald on the ground that there is no authority in law for such a sentence, the effect of which would be, if the prisoner were unable to pay the fine or were too poor to employ a lawyer, to keep bim confined for life. "*‘In the first place,”” said Mr. Bull, speaking of the matter yesterday, ‘‘there is no such erime known to the law as ‘conspiracy to smug- gle opium.’ The crime with which these eople should have been charged in the indictment is ‘conspiracy to defraud the United States Government.’ The maxi- mum punishment upon conviction of such crime is two years and a fine of $10,000. *‘But there is no provision that the im- prisonment shall continue until such fine is paid. Here Greenwald and the others were sentenced to six vears and fines, the fines to be collected at intervals of two years and the imprisonment to continue until the money be paid. The fact is,”’ he continued, “Greenwald’s lerm is more than up. With credits for good behavior and the limit of imprisonment being two years for his offense, he should have been released in Kebruary last. The matter will be fuliy heara in court on Monday." e —————— Charter Publications Free to All Any person calling or writing to the Charter Association, Mills building, will receive all charter publications free. * 10 MARCH FOR REPUBLICANISM The National League Pre- paring for a Monster Demonstration. Committees Appointed to Work Out the Details Quickly and Well LOCAL POLITICS BARRED. The Transparencies to Be Restricted to the Advocacy of McKinley and Hobart. The parade committee of the National Republican League is not idling away its time. It is very busy and the results of its labor promise to appear on Saturday evening, the 3lst of this month, in the largest and most inspiring political dem- onstration ever seen on this coast. Colonel George A. Stone, grand mar- shal, promises 15,000 men in line and 20,- 000 visitors to the City to witness it. Every member of the committee is en- thusiastic und fully alive to the import- ance of not only making the procession long but representative of the big issues in politics this year, representative of Re- publicanism, dignified, intelligent, - structive and honest. A meeting of the parade committee was held last evening at the National League headquarters, Colonel Frank W. Sumner, chairman of the committe, presiding. The fact of the parade was first deter- mined upon, and 'all organizations in sympathy were invited to participate. That being done the men who must gather the funds and look out for the thousand and one details were to be chosen. It was determined to split up the committee into smaller committees on inance, on music, transportation, etc., and it was done by Colonel Sumner, as follows: Finance—L J. Truman, Frank Johnson, Wiliiam Cluff, John F. Sheehan, Andy Branch, T. B. Morton, Frank D. Worth. M usic—Hugo Keil, B. W. Spear, V. T. North- rup. rl"irewotks—()mr Lewis, George H. Fair- child, James Kipp. On suggestion of Colonel Stone, the chairman of the general committee, Colonel Sumner was added to the com- mittee on finance. The question of transparencies and the legends they should bear was calied up by Thomas Bannerman. His suggestion for excluding objectionable signs was ap- proved and the matter turned over to the grand marshal, who wiil call for reports from all clubs as to numbers, equipment and the banners to be carried. It was sugeested that a committee could do good work by originating terse legends for inscription upon banners which could be made to tell the whole story of the campaign, or rather to explain the Repub- lican view of the issues involved. The committee named by Colonel Stone for this purpose included, besides himself, Thomas K. Bannerman and Frank W. Sumner. It was determined that no transparen- cies be permitted in the line in the interest of any candidates but McKinley and Ho- bart and the Republican nominees for Congress. This was formally decided upon by resotution. As to the industrial features of the pa- rade Colonel Stone said all the different industries hoping to be benefited by the success of Republican principles and the election of McKinley would be invited to join in the demonstration and make a big and interesting showing. The committee will meet again Tuesday evening, and the finance committee wiil meet this morning. ‘While this was going on the Ladies’ Annex was holding - a busy meeting, directed along tbe same lines, in an ad- joining room, Mrs. Georgie Spencer pre- siding. Mrs. N. J. Vidaver was elected ermanent- secrelary of the annex, an &m J. E. Harvey, treasurer. $ The following committee was appointed on parade: Mrs. H. Noble, Mrs. Nellie Holbrook-Blinn, Mrs. Hester Harland, Miss Maud Jamison, Mrs. Vidaver. Add. »sses were made by Mrs. J. Murray Builey, by ‘Mrs. Ballou and Mrs. Hester Harland. An entertainment and dance will be given by the ladies of the annex for the benefit of the parade fund in Pioneer building on the evening of the 26:h.
