THE SAN FRANCI 0 CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1896 8 g THE BANGERRNINEES O IO, R . e EDICOS URGE SECRET CIACLES Project to Ostracize Lodge and Asscciation Docters. Regular Physicians Expected to Exercise Discretion in the Plan. THE MYSTIC KUMBER NINE Fancy of Ignatius Donnelly Employed to Sccure the Greatest Secrecy. A secret organization of medical men has been formed in San Francisco, and it is possible that it may exert ccnsiderable influence. It is organized on the plan of circies of nine, and each member is to be known by a number and not by a name. The purpose of the organization is to mitigate or abate various abuses deroga- ory to the interests of the medical profes- on. These abuses are said to be practiced by lodge doctors, clinicians at free clinics, hospital associations that furnish to the members treatment by the year at a fixed rate per month, prescribing druggists or drug-store steerers, who divert patients from the regular medical attendant to an- other for pay or favors, and medical men holding public positions, such as police surgeons, also engaged in private practice, who advertise in a questionable manner and use their public position *‘unprofes- sionaily”” for the purpose of diverting patients from their regular medical atten- dants or family physician. The secret organization will attack these abuses and aim to secure the osiracism of physicians whose methods are question- able. W A circular pertaining to the association contains the following reference 10 a more extended scope of the society: he members of this association are slso to a secret and concerted manner az tical persous who antagonize what interests of the medical profes- sion as well as fair to patrons. It is not to be ected that members of this association will s, clinic physiciaus or hospital association cfors, but they are expected to avoid con- sultation with such when another can be con- veniently subsfituted, & preference for others being alw sxpressed when-the case and the circamstances will permit or justify such preference. In fact, ihey are noito call such in consultation or favor them in any manner e, and are toavoid patients to hospi- ish for members the yeer at a ionaiiy or otherw treatment by month. The scheme for preserving secrecy is d rate per remarkable. It is s to be after a rion of an organization devised by Dr. . E. Farnum, for the purpose of organiz- ing the wheat and cotton growers of the United States. The plan is really adopted from Ignatius Donnelly’s fancy of an anarchistic society. In the first place ihere is a seli-constituted central commit- tee of nine members. From this may be formed nine other circles. From these nine new circles so formed eighty-one other new circles are to spring. Each of the eighty-one members selects for a ne: circle a new member, who is eight more to complete the circl The control of the association is to be by initia- tive and referendum, each member having the privilege of proposing any measure and voting for the acceptance or rejection of any measure proposed. Any informa- tion to_be proposed to all the members is 10 reach the committee through the heads of the different circles, it being passed up from the head of one circle to another. 1f the membership of the central com- mittee were not secret any measure to be proposed might committee instead of through the heads of the different circles. It seems that the plan renders it impos- sible for a member to know more than eight of his fellow members. A!ll mem- bers are to be known by numbers. Physicians of high standing who were interviewed yesterday on behalf of TnE CarL admit that lodge doctors, association doctors and others are responsible for many grievances, but they doubt the pro- priety orsuccess of a secret organization. The subject was recently brought before a convention of physicians and was not approved. The promoters of the secret plan of dealing with the offenders have, ‘fhowever, deemed it prudent to organize. Santa Clara County is said to have a similar organization which has proved effective. NOW 17 15 CO0-FSHIG Competition in That Line of Business Is Actively Under Way. faskh C to select A New Company With Headquarters at Hunters Point Will Soon Be in Operation. There is to be opposition in the codfish business., For years the Lynde & Hough Compauy and the McCollam Fishing and Trading Company enjoyed a practical mo- nopoly, and their curing-houses have been kept going all the year round. Their schooners went out every season and came back loaded down with fish, and the East- ern markets receiyed their quota as regun- larly as September turned up on the alma- nac. Opposition was slight and prices were maintained. Now, however, the Alaska Codfishing Company isin the field. It has established a curing-house at Hun- ‘ters Point, and next year will send outa tleet of schooners. The La Ninfa is now being got ready. and as soon as the season orens she will be sent into Bering Sea. The La Ninfa is probably the best known schooner on the coast. She has been used asa whaler, a sealer, an otter hunter, been to the halibut banks under charter, and now she will represent the Alaska Codfishing Company on the cod- tish banks of Alaska. The drying-sheds for the new concern are now being rapidly completed at Hun- ters Point. Yesterday the steamer Caro- line 100k up a load of hoops and staves with'which the barrels will be built, and inside of a month the company expectsto bave at least twenty-five men regularly employed. - RE L s PR PRAYER AND COMPLIMENT Rev. C. M. Hill Glves the Pros and Cons for Extempore Orisons. 1 Rev. C. M. Hill - aadressed the Baptist Preachers™Conference vesterday on “Puab- lic Prayer.”” After remarking. that no Christian service would be complete with- out prayer, he compared the relative mer- ity of liturgical and extempore prayer. Some of the objections urged against ex- tempore prayer wers that it is apt to be- come long aad tedious, that the uncon- be sent direct to that | scious codicil of the hearer is, “Thank God we are through with that”; another objection cite¢ was that sometimes prayer isapt to become a mutual exchanee of compliments between a visiting minister and the pastor of the church. The visitor thanks heaven that the people have a pas- tor possessing so many virtues, and the pastor, in the final prayer, exalts the vir- tues of the visitor. i Next week the Baptist Preachers’ Con- ference 1s expecting the arrival of Rev. Dr. F. L. Wilkins, head of the Baptist Young People’s Union of the Uniied States, and Rev. Dr. H. E. Woods, superintendent of Baptist missions for the United States, and Rey. Dr. H. C. Woods, superintendent of Baptist missions for the Western States. Under the auspices of these speakers there will be a Young People’s rally in the First Church, Oakiand, on the 24th inst., and rally 1n San Francisco at Emanuel Church on the 30th inst. Congregational Ciub. Rev. W. A. Tenney spoke to the Con- gregational Monday Ciub yesterday morn- ing on “Christ as a Missionary.” The divine leader, he said, was essentially the missionary of the people. He addressed the masses, and the rich and mighty were offended at him. Mr. Tenney took excep- tion to, some of the modern methods of evangelization, and said there was no necessiiy for paying pew rent. Christ preached in the open air. The discussion brought out some dis- cussion of modern methods, but Rev. \W. W. Scudder urged his hearers to wipe off the charge which had been sometimes made against Protestantism that it cared most for the rich and neglected the poor. After the club’s meeting the Congrega- tional Ministers’ Relief Society elected the following directors: Rev. George Mooar, Rev. W. Friar, Rev. T. K. Harrison, Rev. W. C. Pord and Rev. H. H. Wikoff. It was voted that $1100 belonging to the Relief Society should be invested in Oakland real estate. Methodist Ministers, “Jeaiah and His Times” was the subject of an address which Rev. John Coyle, D.D., gave to the Methodist Preachers’ Conference yesterday. The doctor pic- tured the prophet to his hearers in graphie words, and introduced also a good deal of historical iniormation relative to Isaiah. A petition was read addressed to the War Department, which was signed by most of the ministers, respectiully re- questing the transfer of Rey . Macom- ber, now the post chaplain at Angel Island, to the Presidio. WS OVER 200,000 ACRES The Court of Appeals Decides a Case in Favor of the Railrcad. Property at Stake Is Si‘uated Mainly in Portland and Is Worth Millions. By a decision of the Court of Appeals vesterday the Oregon and California Raii- road secured the right and title to over 200,000 acres of land lying in and acjacent to the city of Portland. The victory means a clear gain of several million dollars to the corporation and a corresponding loss on the part of the Government. The Court of Appeals, however, was not | unanimous in its conclusion, Judge Mec- Kenna filing a lengthy dissenting opinion. The two opinions were based on an action nstituted by the Government some months ago to declare forfeited certain lands in Oregon granted by Congressin 1866 t0 the Oregon and California Railroad. The suit involved many minor details and in & way brought into question many old land grants. The principal contention was that the grant to tne Oregon and Cali- fornia Company was within the reserva- tions of the grant made to the Northern Pacific Company. It wasalso held that by filing its map of definite location before the Northern Pacific Company had fixed its line of road, either by map or general route, the defendant company acquired priority of right by the exceptions in the grant made to, the rival corporation. The Circnit Court of Oregon held a con- trary opinion, however, dec:ding that the land had reverted to the Government by reason of the defendant company’s failure to comply with all the conditions of the grant. The case was taken to the Court of Appeals, which body, throngh Judges 2oss and Hawley, now reverses the Circuit Court and remands the cause, with direc- tions to the court below to dismiss the bill. Judge McKenna, dissenting in a lengthy opinion, concludes as follows: The default of the Northern Pacific Company, if it was in any, was no concern of the Oregon and California Company. This company had 10 rights except, as I have a.ready said, those its grant gave 1t. It could get noneéfrom filing amap of definite locdtion or none by building its road, or impair none that the Northern Pacific received by its grant. This seems very plain, but may not the reasoning be extende still further?” Whatever rights passed to the Northern Pacific Company by the:act of 1864 could only be lost by abandonment or by resumption by the United Stgtes on account of non-periormance of conditions. Abandon- ment is not claimed, and if it were abondon- ment of rights or jorfeiture of rights it has always been held not to contribute to railroad ranis. BVere the rights of the Northern Pacific Company taken away by forieiture? The ma- jority oi the court say ne. My brother Ross’ iangyage is, “Tnat the Oregon and Caiifor- nia Ratiroad got nohing by the forfelture of september 29, 1890, is cléar, for the forfeit- ure was for the benefit of the Government only. But if not by that act, notat all.” Judge McKenna also holds that the Government never had any richt to make the grant to the Oregon and California road in 1866, for the reason that ithe same had alreaay been granted to the Northern Pa- cific road two years previously, and that they still had a right to come in and claim it. ————— SOME RARE PLANTS. ‘Wonders That Are Growing in the Park Conservatory. Headgardener Holbrow of the Park Con- servatory takes pride in showing some rare plants that have bloomed in the past two weeks. One is an orchid from Mex- ico, which is without a common name, but is known to floricuiturists as tHe Palumna Nobilis, a beautiful white flower with a yellow center, one that is very rare out- side of the country from which it came. Another is called the rattlesnake orchid, from Manila. From the leaves shoots a long stem, at the end of which is a fiower, dirty white and brown, that is a perfect imitation of the rattles of. a snake. One of the rarest of all orchids is the Cypripe- dinm Speceranum, or the East Indialady’s siipper, which is in a deiicate shade of purple. Within the domes there is now in full bloom, with a wreata of orange-red flowers, whatis said to be tue plant that creeps higher than any other known. It is the Cape of Good Hope trumpet vine, and its flowers are pendaut from the high- est point in the dome, at least seventy feet above the ground. e ——— Prohibitionists File a Petition. The Alameda County Committee of the Pro- hibition Party yesterday petitionea the Su- preme Court, by Joseph Humphreys, chairman of the committee, for a writ of mandate to compel the County Clerk of Alemeda County 0 place their nominees on the ballot, - The Prohibitionists, alier the County Clerk refused to eccept their nominations, on the grouud that their application did not show that they had received 3 per cent of the vote cast at the Jast election, took the matter into the Superior Court. That tribunal refused to issue an order. Then the petition was brouzht into the Supreme Court. Wi S Charter Publications Free to All.

John Herman Miller, who is wanted in Seattle on a charge of betrayal under promise of marriage, was arrested here Sunday and locked up in the “tanks” at the City Prison. T The complaining witness is Maggie Owens, a pretty but unsophisticated girl. She arrived in Seattle about a year ago from Ireland. She met Miller, who prom- ised to marry her and the weddmng day was set. The morning of the wedding she received a letter from Miller telling her to be a good girl and to forget and forgive. It was learned that Miller kept in hiding for ten days and then came to this City. The police here were notified and his ar- rest followed. - Chief Crowley received a dispatch yes- terday from the Chief of Police of Seattle that an officer had left to take Miller back. —————————— HE WAS DESPONDENT. Joseph J. Richard Shoots Himself at the Presidio Reservation. Joseph J. Richard commitied suicide in the Presidio Reservation on Sunday morn- ing by shooting himse!f through the right temple. The body was found by George Herold, a soldier, at 7:20 yesterday morning near ;_ha terminus of the Union-street cable ine. 7 The deceased was a Frenchman, aged about 50 vears, and had been a miner, but bad luck caused him to become despond- ent, with the result narrated. EX-GOVERNOR COLCORD of Nevada, Who Says His State Will Cast From 3500 to 4000 Votes for McKinley. [Sketched from life by a “Call” artis'.] them there, and that if a vigorous cam- paign had been inaugurated early enough there would have been no question about carrying the State. “As it is we will get from 3500 to 4000 of the 10,000 votes that will be cast in Ne- vada,” said the ex-Governor.’ “The Re- publican National Committee, which has sent out large quantities of literature to all the States, has been very liberal toward us. It has sent us about a ton of printed matter. It came in the form of hand- books, pamphlets, circulars, clippings and composed in part entire speeches of emi- nent men on finance. “This literature was printed in six or seven different languages, and we have sent large lots of it to every mining camp and ranch in Nevada. “When the St. Louis convention ad- journed there were a great many men in the State who were thoroughly dissatis- fied with the financial plank. Even the leading Re&nbllcans were almost ready to indorse Mr. Bryan a iittie later when he was nominated, but when they read the whole platform and saw how the Presi- dent was condemned for calling cut troops in time of danger, and saw that all the dangerous men were supporting Bryan, their faith was shaken. But more than this, Bryan came out and emphatically indorsed everything in the platform. “The Republicans have had no speech in Nevada yer, but we are now trying to raise a little money to do a little cam- paigning during these closing days. We are arranging ior some public speakers, We already have enthusiastic Kepublicgn clubs in four counties. These clubs are at Carson, Reno, Wadsworth and Wel- lington. ‘“‘Besides these we have four newspapers in Nevada that are out and out Republi- cun. These are the Reno Gazette, the Car- son News, Elko Free Press and Yerington Rustler. There are also one or two others that aid us some. “If we only had a longer campaign I am satisfied we would carry the entire State for McKinley. I will admit that when this campaign opened 1 did not under- stand the money question. Like many others I was nominally for free silver, but as soon as I began to read up on the sub- ject I saw as clear as day that it wouldn't do. *‘And all our people are open to convic- tion. All that need be done is. to show them they are wrong. That is why the c;uuhni epublicanism is bound to tri- umph. “Take it on the Comstock for instance. The miners there get the uniform rate of $4 a day. Well, if there was free coinage of silver they could not hobe to get §8 a day, and so they and the peoplz who do not own silver mines have concluded that free silver could only be of benefit to the silver-mine owners. “It would be a good thing for Senator Jones, Senator Stewart and Mr. Newlands, selfishly considered, but how could it help the masses? I[am satisfied that even if Bryan were elected the mints would never be opened to the free coinage of silver white the commercial ratio is so far from the existing ratio. The reason is that when Congressmen are elecied they will have had time to look into the matter. They will realize that they are responsible to their constituents, and they will not do something that will be of lasting injury to the country.” Ex-Governor Colcord expects to start on hisreturn to Nevada this evening. Ocean View Non-Partisans, The Farallon Non-Partisan Club met in Murphy's Hall, Ocean View, on Friday night to indorse candidates for municipal offices. The club is composed mostly of residents ot Ocean View aod was organized about a month ago. The membershipis about 200, #nd it is proposed to make itn permanent political or- panization. The officers are: George E. Traung, president: Ray Barry, vice-president; J. Pendegas, sccreiary, and B. Murpny. ser- cent-at-arms. It was ‘decided that the voting or_indorsing candidates shall be by secret Dballot. At alate hour,after a lively discus- sion, Wililam Ambrose was indorsed for Super- I DEFENSE OF HS LIFE Mitchell Arraigned for Murder of Edward T. Hicks. A Search Warrant Issued for Hicks’ Brass Knuckies and Revolver. Attorney Joseph A. Mitchell was ar- raigned in Judge Joachimsen’s court yes- terday for the murder of Private Detective Edward 1. Hicks in the building at 927 Market street last Thursday afternoon. Attorney J. N. E. Wilsony who was with | John F. Mullen for the @éfendant, said they were not raady to go on with the ex- amination because the Coroner’s inquest had not been held, bat as Mr. Warren, one of the witnesses for the prosecution, desired to leave the City, asa matter of accommodation he was ready to consent that his testimony be taken. J. B. Warren said: I am a Presbyterian minister by profession, but at present emploved by the Massachuseiis Benevolent Association. The office of the association is on the sixth floor ot 927 Market | street, diagonally neross the hall irom the office occupied by Hicks and Mitchell. I was sitling in my office about 2:30 P. M. last Thursday when I neard u_pistol shot. Jt had a muflled sound, 1 rushed to the door of the office end saw Miichell standing at the head of the stairway. Ile had & pistol in his Land and his attitude gave me the impression 1hat he had just wheeled nround facing in my direction. I then saw Hicks just standing outside his office door. His hands were clasped 10 his breast and he seemed to be stooping. As I saw Hicks, Mitchell raised his pistol and fired, the buliet passing through Hicks’ hat and striking the jamb of the door. Hicks started to walk toward my door and taken only two or three steps when. Mitchell, who had not changed his position, fired again, the bullet striking the wall. He held tne pistol pointed in my direction, and s his manner was that of a man about to fire again I dodged behind the door [rame and was about to close the door, when Hicks staggered, threw his hand against the glass of the door, smashing it, and rell on his face. Ishould think that between the sound of the first shotand the dalling of Hicks' body about & minute elapsed. On cross-examination by Attorney Wil- son the witness said that the shot that killed Hicks was evidently fired in the office and that Mitchel: was apparently running away from Hicks whea bhe first saw them. _The further hearing of the case was con- tinued till Friday, as the Coroner’s inquest will be held Thursday. ment already published that Mitchell will plead self-defense. Following up this line of defense Wilson yesterday afternoon obtained a search warrantin Judge Campbell’s court for a rnirul brass knuckles and a revolver be- ieved to be in Hicks' safe-deposit_box 86 of the Pacific Coast Savings Society, 806 Market street. The articles will be looked for to-day. In the complaint sworn to by Wilson it isalieged that Hicks, on the morning of October 15, committed an assault with in- tent to murder upon Mitchell with a pair of brass knuckles and a revolver, and thst the articles are necessary for the defense of Mitchell. Mrs. Gregory, Hicks' sister, was granted letters of administration on her brother’s estate by Judge Coffey yesterday. —_————— Ingleside Improvement.

Fifteen Lepers Will Get the Relief They So Eagerly Desire. SUPERVISOR BENJAMIN'S WORK The Marke{-Strezt Comp-ny Called to Time—Numerous Boxing Per- mits Granted. Supervisor Benjamin carried out bis in- tention of asking the board to appropriate money to buy the Goto remedy for lep- rosy for the use of the Pesthouse yester- day and succeeded in getting all he asked for. At the close of the meeting he intro- duced the following resolutions which were preceded by an appropriate preamble: Resolved, That until further orders of this Board the Goto remedy as prepared and sold in Japar be provided for the treatment of all persons who are maintained by the City and are afflicted with leprosy, and that a suflicicnt quantity be kept on nand at all times for this purpose. Resolved, That the Committee on Iealth and Police is bereby empowered 10\order the pur- chase of this remedy to the extent of $600, and that the said sum of $600 be and is hereby set aside out of ihe appropriation for urgent necessity purposes in the General Fund for payment of the same. Supervisor Benjamin made a strong speech to back up his resolutions and they were adopted unanimously. He also said that the inmates were in need-of clothing, and that any contribu- tions that were reported to him would be collected and delivered to the unfortu- nates. Clerk Russell reported the following changes among the employes of his office: H. C. Farquharson, index and report clerk, promoted to a deputyshin; J. C. Tomalty appointed to fill the place left vacant by the promotion, and Charles C. Parent appointed requisition clerk to fill the vacarcy ereated by Tomalty’s promo- tion. The board made the fellowing appoint- ments: J. M. Williston, appointed carpen- ter of the City Hall,vice Charles E. Parent, appointed to a clerkship; Thomas H. Mar- tin. appointed operator of fire alarm and police telegraph. Suvervisor Hobbs was granted sixty days’ leave of absence, with permission to leave the State, and the leave of absence of President of the Board of Education Henry T. Scott was extended fifteen days. The board passed a resolution directing the Market-street Railroad Company to comply with the terms of its franchise by running it cars to the Precita-avenue terminus. The resolution closes with the following significant phr “Thereby ‘preventing further action by this board.” The company is also directed to pave the space between its tracks on Eighth street, on penalty of a forfeiture of its franchise. Tha resolution recently passed granting the Park Commissioners permission to extend the fences of Golden Gate Park to the outer line of the sidewalks on Osk, Fell, Stanyan, Fulton, D and H streets, was rescinded., This is a fight that has been waged by the property-owners for years past, and they are much elated over the result of their labors. The permit to conduct a boxing exhibi- tion recently granted the St. George Club was extended to November; the Golden West and New California Athletic clubs were granted permits for November and December, and the National Club was given a permit for December. In spite of the injunction served on the board forbidding the beginning of work on Lafayette Park the bids for the work were opened. - Action was postponed pending the hearing of the petition for a perpetual injunction.
