THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1896. The Former Ruler of the Potrero Succumbs to Dropsy. He Was Once a Power{ul Factor in the Politics of This Couaty. HOW HE 10ST A THRONF.| The Murder of His Favorite Brother Drove Him to Drink and to a Premature Grave. Frank McManus is dead. As “*King of the Potrero” he was once a power in the political arena of this County. His boarding-house was the resort and home of the men from the slaughter- [ 10ng and faithiul services. The presentation | specen, which was made by John Durneen, | Showed in & measure the feeling of warmih and friendship that exists between them. Mr. MeGivgey responded in his usuai ready an witty $av, after which all present sdjourned to u neighboring cafe where speeches, s0ngs, etc., were indulged - EMBEZZLED THE FLOUR. M. A. Cunningham Arrested for Failing’ to Carry Out a Contract. M. A. Cunningham was arrested last evening by Officers T. L. Ryan and E. 0’'Dea and detained at the Southern Police station on a charge of felony embezzle- ment. Robert Baker, a teamster, the com- plaining witness, alleges that he employed Cunningham to haul forty sacks of flour to Saeramento and Davis streets. The flour was delivered to the p: ner, but he failed to follow instrucsions, and after dis- posing of filteen sacks left the remaining lot in his truck and drove to Fourth i street, near Howard. | Cunningham then disappeared and the flour on the truck was ruined by the rain. | Baker reported the facts of the case to the | police, and after a thorough search of the south of Market street district Cunning- nam was found and placed under arrest. S OCEAN VIEW VOTERS. Big Republican Celebration Held at Murphy’s Hall. The loyal Republicans of Ocean View | gathered at Murohy’s Hall last evening to do bonor to a number of Republican can- didates who appeared to address the faith- | ful on the issnes of 1he day, both National | and municipal. ) | . Congressman Loud, who is a’candidate | for re-election, and Charles M. Depew, | who is expected to succeed Supervisor J. | K. C. Hobbs as the representative of tne The Late Frank McManus, Known as the “King of the Potrero.” houses of Butchertown and the laborers from the shipyards and the Union Iron Works. A powerfnl man physically, he was the terror of his guests when he chose to dom- inate and contrc! them; still, when in his better mood, his generosity and urban manner won back to him the friends he lost when in his tantrums. The “King,” as McManus has been known for years, held the scepter and wielded it in the Potrero until the Welch boys moved over there and ran arival house. The Welch boys had gone there t{o stay and the King ordered them to leave, The clash came. Jack Welch and McManus met, fought and the throne was tonpled. King fell. ® Thrice this occurred, each time with the same result, and the Welch | boys ruled. The ciimax came when Cornelins-Me- Manus, a brother of the King, came over here from Ireland. Bent upon re- seating his royal relative, he went forth to meet the Welch faction. In the first scrimmage the “‘Gossoon,” as Cornelius was known, shot Jack Welch in the side, almost removing the vanquisher of his brother to the great beyond. Welch re- covered, however, and was magnanimous enough to refuse to prosecute his as- | dailant. Shortly after that the Gossoon mixed matters with a bas>ball-player named Sweeney. The latter is now servinz a ten years’ sentence in San Quentin for man- slaughter and the Gossoon liesin a grave at Cypress Lawn Cemetery. Frank McManus never got over the death of his brotter. drink, and his once magnificent physique 1ellfawny to a mere skeleton of his former self. About one vear ago dropsy set in upon him, and he had been under the care of pbysicians from that time until the mo- ment of his death. One week ago he sold a half interest in his Third-street liquor-house to an old iriend—George A. Ginn—who at one time ‘was known as the **Mayor of Sausalito.” Believing his interests safe in the hands | of his partner be hied himseli to the home of nis brother James, an undertaker in Oekiand. It was at the latter's home he died yesterday afternoon, during »n operation in which he was being *‘tapped.” McManus was born in County Leitrim, Ireland, in 1850. In 1882 he located per- manently in this County. He leaves a widow and a son 13 years old, also bis brothers, James, Patrick, William, and a nthew named Terrence McManus. The funeral wili be held Wednesday morning. FREMONT CLUB. Met Last Evening in Honor of Various Candidates. The Fremont Citizens’ Republican Club held a meeting in its headquarters, New Montgomery and Howard streets, last evening in lronor of James B. Brown, nominee for Senator from the Seventeenth Senatorial District, Peter J. Quinn, nom- | inee for Assemblyman from the Twgnty- eighth, and William F. Wood, nominee for | Assembly from the Twenty-ninth Assem- bly District. Owing to the inciemency of the weather, or some other cause, the at- tendance was small, but nevertheless the members present decided to march in the | parade on Saturday afternoon, October 31. Martin Ket!ly made some interesting re- marks regarding the capabilities of the various nominees on the Citizens' Repub- can ticket. He then introduced the aspi- rants for election to the Auemblly and Senate. Those gentleman spoke at length on the issues of the hour, and at the con- clusion of Mr. Woods’ remarks the meet- ing adjourned. <3 The ciub will hold a meeting either this or to-morrow evening—it depends upon the condition of the weather—to complete arrangements to take partin Saturday’s grand parade. = ——————— A Token of Esteem.

WOMAN'S CLUB BUILDING The Press Association Will Erect a Beautiful Structure Socn. It Will Bz the Headquarters for All ot the Literary Ladies of This Locality. | | ! The Pacific Coast Women’s Press Asso- ciation 1s preparing to locate 4n perma- | nent headquarters. To do sd, according to the present plans, will nvolve the erection of a fine structure that will be called the Women’s Club bmlding, and will cost not less than §100,000. At a re- cent meeting a committee, consisting of Mrs. P. T. Dickinson, Mrs. M. B. Foster | and Mrs. Laura Y. Pinnie, was appointed | to take charge of the arrangements. An | attempt was made_to secure a building on | Geary street, near Powell, in which altera- | tions would have to be made, but the cost 1 ;lqe{]eor and the landlord’s terms were too | high. This left nothing to do but to arrange | for a new building to be constructed tc | suit. ~This will be located well downtown. | While no plans for the siructure have bcen | made the ladies have decided on the main | features. There will be reading-rooms | and a larze library, the nucleus of which is already in the possession of the associa- tion. Tue arrangements will all be of the modern order. In order to secure and | hold property tke association will be in- corporated at once. - The members of the association do not propose to occupy the building entirely by | themselves. The committee has been | authorized to call uvon_the officers of all the Iadies’ literary societies and clubs in { the City and ask that their organizations | make the Woman’s Club Building their | home, for the structure will be so arranged that a dozen ladies’ clubs can be housed | under the one roof. Among the organiza- ! tions to be invited are the Danghters of | the Rebellion, the Colonial . Dames, the Sorosis Club, the Laurel Hill Cluband otbers. The intention is to make it strictly a women’s building, similar to those in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York. It will also be a hesdquarters for all literary women from abroad, and invitations will be extenaed to all lady visitors to this City | to make the Woman’s Club building their home during their stay here. The Pacific Coast Women’s Press Asso- ciation held its regular social meeting yes- terday in Native Sons’ building on Mason street. . The subject under consideration was “Art.”” Much regret was expressed | on account of the absence of Miss Alice | Friedlander, who was delayed in Portland and who was to speak upon “The | Drama.” | The programme was as follows: ‘‘Development of American Art,” Mrs. D. W. Gelwicl llustrative Art,” Mrs. Emily Remseu; aria, “Jewel Song” from ‘‘Faust’ (Gounod), "Miss Jennie Lind Shelley; “Art and Morals,” Mrs. Katharine S.

He Claims That the Terms of the Contract Have Not Been Carried Out, JEROME MILLARD COCMPLAINS, Judge Low Ciaimed 1o Have Author- \ izad Exorbitant Fees for Interpreters. Mayor Sutro surprised the Board of Su- peryisors vesterday when he vetoed the order of the board authorizing the pay- ment to City and County Surveyor Tilton of $7000 as final payment on the oflicial map recently ordered. The Mayor's reasons for the veto are that the public has not had time to look nto the matter and that the terms of the contract have not been strictly adhered to. The Mayor in his message made the following suggestions: First—That.the map, when fully completed, be placed on exhibition for the period of sixty | days, and that the public be invited to exam- ine the same for any and all defects. sSecond—That your bady authorize me to ap- point some competent and wholly disinter- ested surveyor 1o thoroughly inspect the map, to verify all ot its statements and to report tnerecn in writing, within such sixty days, as to its accuracy and completeness. When the public has bad this opportunity | for the time uamed and such surveyor has re- ported, and the map has stood this reasonable then the claim can be presented for | final puyment and the map can, by resolution, be with certainty accepted as official. Your attention is respectinily pointed to the fact that the contract called for “the per- jormance of the above mentioned work on or before the 1st day of October, 1896.” This claim is dated Octover 12, 1896, and the authorization was passed October 19, 1896. It is understood from the siatements of the engineer and his deputies that the map is not yet completed for actual delivery. Hence it might be questioned if anything is now due, Jerome Millard presented a protest to the board, calling attention to the exor- bitant fees paid to Chinese interpreters in the Police courts. He says that the City isannually mulcted of an immense sum by this means. The protest is probably the outgrowth of the recent friction between Millard and Judge Lowe, whom the interpretér recently characterized as being an advo- cate of Chinese cheap labor. As a result Millard was indicted for libel, but was dis- charged by Judge Wallace. D. 8. Wesnver applied to the board for permission to take possession of certain | materials and fixtures furnished the City, alleging that he has never been paid for the stuff. The Finance Committee ce- cided that it could not grant the request, forlack of jurisdiction, although the mem- bers said thatpersonally they wouald will- defrauded of his due. It was decided to roise the license im- posed on ticket brokers from $10 per quarter to$i00 per month. The Health and Iolice Committee was authorized to spend $600 in purchasing instruments for the Receiving Hospital, R O STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court in sus- taining the demurrer in the suit of John Mullan against the State of California. This has been a 1amous action. Mul- lan brought suit aganst the State, alleg- ing tLat between December 12, 1878, and March 1, 1891, he rendered tervices to the State, at its special request and instance. This alleged service consisted in recover- ing $216,357 37, paid to the United States under the act of Congress of August5, 18G1. Mullan claimed that he was entitled 10 20 per cent of this money, but the State Board of Examiners refused to allow the claim either wholly or in part. | Tne Superior Court sustained the de- murrer, which claimed that the alleged employment of Mullan was unauthorized and created no valid obligation against the State. . Whether Mullan was legally employed is inquired into by Justice Van Vleet, who Wwrote the opinion of the Supreme Court, Justices Harrison and Garroutte concur- ring. His conclusions are that ‘*‘there could be no valid employment of plaintiff by the State for the purpose alleged with- out authorization by the Legislature.” —————— Foreign Money for Hawail.
