THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1896. THEY ALL FAVOR SOUND MONEY Resolutions That Were In- dorsed by Home Build- ers of the State. Meeting of the League of Mutual Building and Loan Asso- ciations, THE MORTGAGE TAX DISCUSSED A Propesition to Have the State Pay the Commissioners Who Super- vise the Asscciation. The annual meeting ot the Calitornia League of Mutual Building and Loan As- sociations was held yesterday in Assem- bly Hall in the Milis building. Frank Otis, president, presided, and Charles F. Nay- lor, secretary, called the roli of delegates: The following essociations were repre- sented: San Francisco Loan, Cosmos Loan, Metropoli. tan Loan of Los Angeles, Encinal Building and Loan of Alameda, San Francisco and Oakiand Mutus! Loan, Granite Mutual Building and Loan, San Francisco Home Mutual, Inter-Nos Building and Loan, Eintracut Saving and Building Verein, People’s Building and Loan, San Diego Building and Loan, Fairmount Loan of San Francisco, Mission ana Home Loan, ~Itelian-Swiss Mutual Loan, Bor- Towers’ Mutual oi San _Francisco.

President Frank Otis presented his an- nual report, a very lengthy document. He drew attention to the reports of the commissioners of building and loan asso- ciations, which in the past year had driven | out of business twenty foreizn concerns which had entered the State. The asso- ciations, he said, during the year dis- bursed to membersin loans and for can- celed shares $8,471,49710. The associa- tions have a membership of 30,150, and were instrumental in building 9343 homes | The profits on with- | within this State. drawals by local associations amounted to 36.08 per cent, by the nationals 15.52 per cent and by co-operative banks 8.16 per cent, while the cost to borrowers in locals dence on Sacramento Street. DR. WILLIAM DOHRMANN and MISS CRISSIE SIEBE, Who Will Be Married This Evening at the Bride’s Resi- Miss Siebe Is the Daughter of Assessor Siebe and Dr. Dohrmann Is the Son of Presi- dent Dohrmann of the Merchants’ Association, a paper on the “Advantage of Member- ship in Building and Loan Assonciations.” Secretary Naylor read a paper on “Con- tingent Fund,” and explained why and how such a fund should be maintained. James L. Fields read along_paper on “Premium Pians, Division of Profits and Cost of a Loan,’” in which he entered into a minute and technical discussion of sub- | jects which requireja thorough knowledge of the methods of loan associations to ap- | preciate. Frank V. Wright of San Jose, past presi- dent and a member of the executive com- mittee and at present secretary of ti.e San Jose Building and Loan Association, read a paper on “Matnred Shares.”” He sug- gested a policy which will aid in increas- ing the loaning and earning powers of the association, rather than allowing its entire force to be absorbed and assuredly les- | séned by the unnecessary disbursement of | funds for the payment of matured stock. | He suggested the listing, in order of ap- plication, the names of the holders of | matured stock who are desirous of obtain- ing their money, and will accent a dis- | count from the par value when cashed. These may be paid out of the one-third | monthly receipts of the funds of the asso- | ciation together with such rate of interest | as may be determined until paid. Any | | shares remaining on the books of the cor- | poration at the annual appropriation of | profits should receive their additional pro rata of earnings. The shareholder who | desires to allow his matured stock to re- | main with the association may receive | guarteriy interesi at say 6 percent per annam and also distribution in the form of a dividend. The committee recommended the adop- tion of a resolution asking the Levislawure to continue the commission at the expense of the State and one that all associations has been B8.96 per cent, nationals 11.10 percent and in cc-operative banks 10.12 per cent. taxes about $230,000 on their mortgage loans. He dwelt at whether it would be wise for_the associa- tions to take part in politics. He took occasion to declare that on the financial proposition it was eminently proper and, indeed, imperative that the associations should place themselves on record. The: ght to do business on business princ ples, and in carrying out this policy it was necessary that they shpuld teke every ' means to uphold the financial honor and honesty of the country. He cited numerons exam- ples to prove that the prosperity of the world was practically confined io such countries as had a gold standard, the re- verse being true of those laboring under the disadvantage of a silver monetary system. He bad every confidence, how- ever, that the good sense of the American people, as shown at the coming election, would forever put at rest the anarchisti theories and schemes of the unthink advocates of the proposed new order of things. 4 He then said that all loans of building and loan associations to their members were made under the present monetary standard, and asked if it wou!d not be un- fair for borrowers to pay back in a depre- ciated currency. He added: “The prop- osition that full and unlimited legal ten- der will relieve the debtor is clearly a confession of its iniquity, for, by that very , it will rob every creditor, no matter v small may be the debt due to him.” He closed by arzuing the fostering of building and loan associations. Secretary Naylor called for the indorse- ment of the following resolutions that were adopted at the convention of the United States League of Building and Loan Associations on the currency ques- tion held in Philadelphia: First—That it is the sense of this meeting that the interests of all shareholders' of build- ing and loan sssociations in the United States demand that the present standard of values upon which our monetary system has been based since the resumption of specie paymen ts in 1879 shall remain inviolate. Second—That we eve that the interests of ery class in the community, and especially - those of the great wage-earning class, impera- tively demand that every doliar in circulation, nether coin or paper, shail be equal in pur- chasing power, and therefore equai in value to every other. Third—That patriotism demands that the dollar bearing the mint mark of the United States siall be equal to the dollar of the most advenced nations and entitled to the full faith | and credit all over the world, and to thatend it must be maintained free from all suspicion of debasement or repudiation. The resolutions were indorsed by a unanimous vote. A. Bbarboro read a paper on “State Supervision,” in whicn he said that the building and loan societies had reached such a magnitude that it was deemed ad- visable by the league to have a State Com- | mission appointed te_inspect and super- vise the societies. He, while speaking favorably cf the supervision, thought the tax on the societies to maintain the Com- missioners is very heavy, dnd offered a resolution to the effect that the Legisla- ture continue the Commissioners and pay them from the treacury of the Siate. 0. K. Cusbing read a paper on the ‘‘Abolishment of Premiums.” He said that premiums sre not a fundamenial principle of the associations, and that ihey are not a feature of mutuality, be- cause at one meeting a loan may be at a very high premium and another a very low one, He urged the abolition of this feature. George G. Wright read an interesting paper on ‘‘Mortgage Taxation.” He re- ferred to the introduction of the system, and stated that he had at first been in favor of the proposed amendment reliev- ing the lender of the necessity of paying the mortgage tax, but further investiga- tion had caused him to change his mind. At the afternoon session there was a dis- cussion on the mortgage tax. One mem- ber was of the opinion that there was no good reason for the abolition of the mort- gage tax. ¢ Mr. Sbarboro said it was a wrong con- ception of the matter to hold that the mortgage tax was the cause of reduction The associations paid last year for | length on the. subject | in Cahfornia create a cortingent fund in | keeping with such conditions. These | were aaopted. | papers in which they suggested means to 5 | treat delicquents. George A. Fisher, one of the Building |and Loan Commissioners, delivered a | short address commending the good work | the league has done. Mr. Fisher did not | | think it wise to ask the Siate to pay the cost of the commission, as the smount, | only 25 cents a share in ten years, is too | | " Tue last paper was by C. K. Clark on | “Uniform Methods” in conducting the business of the offices under the several | rules in vogne. Messrs, Clark, Wood, Naylor, Wright and Sbarboro were appointed a committee to present a report at the next meeting on the best rule for conducting the affairs of | associations. | The following officers were re-elected for the ensuing year: Frank Otis, president; | Albert Meyer, first vice-president; | L. Fields, secona vice-president; Charles | 0" King, third vice-president; Charles E | Naylor, secretary; B. Harris, treasurer. i BIG FEES DEMANDED Attorneys for the Estate of Hi- ram A. Pearsons Ask for Judge C.ff:y Inclined to Believe the Compensation Is Out of Proportion. “It was once a theory,” said Attorney Haight in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday, “that an estate was for the benefit of the heirs, but now it seems to be thought that the estate is for the lawyers.” and Thomas F. Barry, the legal represent- atives of the executor of the estate of Hi- ram A. Pearsons. Messrs. Mooreand Barry had just presented a request for payment for their services in behalf of the estate, and the former bad modestly demanded $25,000, while Mr. Barry had announced that he would be content with half that sum. Judge Coffey took a hand in the contro- versy and remarked that the matter of fees was something that gave him more trouble than any one thing in the business of his department. He said that the pay- ment demanded by Mr. Moore was, to say the least, the largest ever asked during his experience for similar service under similar circumstgnces. He also bad a word for the lawyers representing the heirs, want- ing to know why the protection of the es- tate was left entirely to the court, and why they did not speak out in behalf of their clients. The Pearsons estate has been in the courts for over six years, Hiram A. Pear- sons having been arowned in Lake Michi- gan in 1889, He left real estate in this City valued at almost $500,000, a portion of which was sold to get money to pay be- quests made in Pearsons’ will. As it now stands the estate is worth $393,953 95. Besides the $25,000 now asked Mr. Moore has already received from the executor in &ny ment for services rendered $6960 and r. Barry has had $5000. His Honor, in looking over the account handed in, has already discovered a mis- take of §1240, made by computing the ad- ministrator's commissions wrongly. He has taken the entire matter of fees under consideration. ————— Cuarged With Murder, Fong Yet has been arrested by Officer Flynn and Sergeant Wollwebber on a charge of mur- dering Lee Ab Mee,who waskilled at 840 Wash- ington street on the night of October 12. Mee was going down Washington street when a man stepped out from the door and shot him in the back. Sergeant Wollwebber has been working of interest on deposits. D. Henderson, & banker of Santa Clara County, said a formidabie obstacle would be presented by the repeal of the mort- goge tax. It would not, in bis opinion, reduce taxation. The repeal, he lhought, would result in double taxation and be a great hardship on the borrowers, who are gererally people of very limited means. Mr. Meyer thought that if the tax is re- Eealed it would result in benefit to the orrowers, as the savings banks will give borrowers the benefit of the change and the difference would be equal to the tax. Charles 0. King of 8an llfll Obispo read on the case since that time and yesterd, - cluded that he had sufficient ev’id;v.oe .tz :V"l‘:v rant the arrest of kong Yet. The sccused man is said to be a member of the See Yup Society. ————— Union Iron Works Sued.

Moore | JUDGE HEBBARD'S RIGHT T0 VOTE He Denies That He Is Not a United States Citizen. Although Born in Canada He Did Not Need to Be Naturalized. HIS ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE, Laws of the Coustry Quoted in Sup- port of His Honor’s Claim to Citizenship. In reply to an article published in a morning paper, in which itis claimed that !Judgz Hebbard is not a citizen of the | United States, his Honor has given a de- tailed history of his family for several generations back, and explained his claim to citizenship. Judge Hebbard’s family, he says, on both sides, are and have been Americans, | in every sense of the term, ever since their Puritan fathers landed on Plymouth Rock. Upon his mother’s side he traces his descent back to Roger Williams. Upon his father’s side he is a descendant of the French Huguenots. Timothy Heb- bard, his great-grandfaiher, was born and resided at Royaiton, V. At the time of the birth of Judge Heb- Dbard’s father in 1824, there existed upon the statnte books of the United States the following act, approved Avbril 14, 1802 (2 T. 8. statutes at large, page 155), which provides as follows: Section 4. And be it further enscted, that | the children of persous duly naturalized under any of the laws of the United States, or who, previous of the passing of any law on that subject, by the Government of the United States, may have become citizens of any one of the s»id States, under the laws thereof, being under the age of 21 years, at the time of their | parents being so naturalized or aamitted to | the r ghts of citizenship, shall, if dwellirg in | the United States, be considered as citizons of the United Stetes, and the children of persons who now are or have been citizens of the United States, shall, though born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, be considered as citizens of the United Stales; proyided, also, that no person heretofore pro- seribed by any State, or who has been legally convicted of having joined the army of Great Britain, during the late war, shall be admitted & citizen as eforesaid, without the consent of the Legislature of the State in which such per- son was proscribed. Section 5. And be it further enacted, that all acts heretofore passed respecting naturali- zution be and the same are hereby repealed. At this time, therefore, Judge Hebbard's father under this law, immediately upon his birth, acquired the status of a citizeh | of the Unite:: States and consistently with that status after his arrival in California, and about 1867 or 1£68, he became a regis- tered voterin Nevada County, having been advised as to nis rights by the Hon. Ad- dison C. Niles, late Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of California. Judge Hebpard himself was born in Can- ada Avpril 11, 1854. At the time of his birth the act just quoted was in force and conferred upon him the status of American citizenship. Upon_his arrival at his majority in 1875 he applied for letters of citizenship, not understanding at that time that he was @ ready a citizen. The ofhcer haying in c..arge the registration of voters in San Mateo County, upon the narration of the foregoing facts, advised him that he was already a citizen, and that he had but to register to vote, and that nothing but reg- istration was necessary to entitle him to vote. Judge Hebbard thereupon regis- tered and cast his first vote at that time. During the twenty-one years that haye elapsed since then Judge Hebbard has registered and voted at every election in this State, either in Sah Mateo County or the City and gonnty of San Francisco, ex- cept twice, when temporarily absent fro; the State of California. = This question of his citizenship is not a. new one. In 1879 when Judge Hebbard was a candidate jor Superior Judge in San Mateo County the same question was raised and disposed of. In 1890 when he candidate for Judge of the Superior Court in San Francisco the same question was again raised and disposed of, The question is now raised for the third time, — NO MEETING WAS HELD. Ocean View Republicans Indignant Over the Publication of a False Statement. The effort of certain interested parties in the Ocean View District to cause trouble among the loyal Republicans of that sec- tion has caused much indignation and efforts are being made to discover the author of a number of false stories that have been circulated. The latest canard published relates that on Friday night last a meeting of the Farallon Non-Partisan Club, & mythical organization, was held at Murphy's Hall and that 200 members acted on certain matters. The names of B. Mnrpg and J. Pen- dergas are mentioned as officers of the or- ganization, the names of the other officers being unknown in Ocean View. Both Murphfi and Pendergas are known to be stanch Republicans and members of the Ocean View McKinle; Club, and the form where the meeting place, denies that there w y such gathering or that he ever was identified with any such movement. ) R, PHELAN NONG - HiS OLD FRIEADS Spoke Within Half a Block of His Birthplace and Home. Municipal Affairs Ought to Be Conducted on Business Principles. FREE WATER FOR THE CITY. That Is One of the Reforms That Ought to Be Accomplished. Other Economies. James D. Phelan, nominee for Mayor on the regular Democratic ticket, addressed an enthusiastic meeting at Native Sons’ Hall, on Seventeenth street, near Valen- cia, last night. A goodly number of ladies were present, and they joined heartily in the cordial reception that was tendered to Mr. Phelan. 4 As the hall where he spoke is within half a block from the spot where Mr, Phe- lan was born and where he has lived ail his life the greeting that was given par- took more of the nature of a neighborly reunion than a political demonstration. The hall was handsomely decorated, Mr. Pheian’s picture being conspicuously displayed in front of the speaker’s stand. A. L. Mann called the meeting to order and presented Daniel O’'Callaghan as the chairman ot the evening, who introduced Mr. Phelan. Taking for his theme the need of the municipal government Mr. Pbelan re- ferr ed to the fact that be had lived in the Mission all his life. He felt that here he was among friends and neighbors, and it was a pleasure to be with so many with whom his life had been spent. The nowmination for Mayor by the Dem- ocratic party, Mr. Phelan said, nad been tendered to him without his solicitation, and subsequently the Non-Partisans had offered their indorsement. Wishing to do som e seryice tor the people of San Fraa- cisco, his native City, he had accepted the nomination, and now he was doing his duty by going forth to meet the electors and confer with them in regard to the issues of the campaign. Mr. Phelan contended that he stood as the nominee of the Democratic party of San Francisco, whereas the man who is the figurehead at the top of the other so- called Democratic ticket is simply the representative of a foul and vicious boss, who in times past was compelled to flee tiie country, pursued by the otficers of the law. It would be a shame and a disgrace, Mr. Phelan said, to allow any man who is tainted with the support of Boss Buckley and bound to him by political ties to win in a contest like this. National politics and National themes, Mr. Phelan szid, are eood for the orators, but when it comes to every day practical affairs the people are more interested in the management of the municipal govern- ment than in the genera! princiles that some people talk so mucn about. For in- stance, the City pays $350,000 for water for fire purposes, when everyvody knows that no such amount of water is used by the City. That much water could not be used uniess we had five fire departments as big as the one we now have. This could be cut down, and it ought to be done. In this regard Mr. Phelan desired to re- ply to an articie 1n a morning paper which had suegested that he would not make a good Mayor because he had not had ex- perience in wmunicipal affairs, He ap- pealed to his hearers as citizens to say whether they did not know of evils in the municipal government and whether they did not believe that he wouid kuow enough about business to correct the abuses, concerning which the peonle rightly complain. [Applause.] Mr. Phelan continued: It is outrageous that the City should have to pey so many thousands of doliars for water and light when these ought to be supplied free of charge in part payment for the franchises that have been 8o freely given to the corpora- tions. Golden Gate Park costs the City thousandsof do!lars every year. Those who go out to the park will find thatall the railroad lines con- verge there,and it would eppear o an un- biased observer that the park was a grand scheme-got up to help swell the receipts of the street railroads. Yet these raiiroads have never been called on to heip support the park; and they wouldn’t do it if so requested. [Laughter and applause.] In recent years a new force has made its ap- pearance in our civilization. The wheel has come to stay, and everywhere wheelmen are for progess. They are for good sireets and they are right, for in a great degree a city’s prosperity depends on'the excellency of its thoroughfares. [Applause.] The bicycle is in some measure supplanting other methiods of transportation. It costs llothh‘lg for its keep- ins,lnu in addition to freeing the man from ordinary restraints of travel, itadds to his health and strength as well as giving a pleas- ingdiversion. In all these effects the wheel is a benefit to the community and must be 80 recognized by public-spirited citizens. The wheel is proving of practical bencfit by making the suburbs more accessible to the businessman. It bringstheshopof theartisan closer to his hofne and opens up opportunities that ne never enjoyed before. As a conse- quence the outlying aistricts are becoming more presentable because the wheelmen insist that they shall be g!lt in condition for the bicycle. This is a direct benefit to the entire community, The Mission is feeling the effect of this in- fluence for good in & marked degree. Our people are demanding and obtaining better streets, and will soon have a beautiful park and a spacions High School buildiug. [Ap- plause and cheers.] These improvements and others that are | bound to come will draw population to our City; will draw people from Oakland, San Rafnel, Ssusalito ana other bav cities, besides attracting the residents of the interior to the City. In this we will be but getting our own, as we shall call back bundreds, or even thousands, ‘who have imperceptibly drifted away to other locelities, because we have not made the best of our opportunities. It pays a city to have its affairs conducted on ‘business principles, because then the revenue of the municipal government may be ex- pended for the improyement and embellisi- ment of the streets and parks and pablic build- ings, If chosen as Mayor of San Francisco, 1 shall attempt to have some of these good things put in force. [Applause.] In conclusion, Mr. Phelan said that be aspired to serve the City in which he was born, and that he hoped by the suffrages of his fellow-citizens to be put in such a position that he may be the humble means of helping S8an Francisco to realize her dream of prosperity. Sitting here by the Golden Gate, our City hasa right to ex- pect the grandest destiny of any city on the continent, and he will at all” times be ready to contribute his share in working out and fulfilling that destiny, Mr. Phelan’s remarks were well received by his hearers, and at tho close of his speech he was repaid by applause and a round of cheers. William Broderick, Democratic nominee for Auditor, said he wanted to speak a word for Mr. Phelan. It was true that Mr. Phelan had not had any experience in municipal government, but according to Mr. Broderick’s opinion, Mr. Taylorand Mr. Dimond had not had any m so far as practical affairs go, since he said they had notaccomplished a single thing during their two ycars in office. Mr. Dimond, he said, had not been in a position to do anything, and had not tried to worry the majority into doing right, Asto Mr. Taylor, that gentleman, he declared,j although chairman of the Supervisors’ Finance Committee, had not cut off 2 nickei from the exorbitant bills of rapacious contractors for the past twenty months. Joseph A. Spinetti, J. J. Dwyer, J. A Carroll, L. H. Church and others spoke on the political issues of the day. GREAT NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.
