THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDA_Y? OCTOBER 27, 1896. Q ‘FATHER YORKE ON "UNDER WHICH FLAG" : ’I_‘he Eloquent Priest Lec- "~ tures for Holy Cross 2 Church. He Scores the A. P. A,, the Mer- chants’ Association and the < Charter, Is NOT IN EE POLITICS. Says He Would Not Indicate to Any American . Citizen How He Should Vote. “Under Which Flag?” To the usual big audience employing the full capacity of the big hall, Rev. Father Yorke lectured upon this topic, or under this title, last evening at Metropoli- - tan Temple. After J. J. Dwyer’s felicitous . little speech of introduction Professor - Martinez rendered a piano solo, followed by M. D, Manlloyd, a tenor solo, “Eileen Mavourneen”; Professor Giulio Minetti, & violin solo, “Elegie’’; Miss Julia Cotte, ¢ soprano solo, “Parlo,” and then ‘‘Under ‘Which Flag?’ The lecture was for the benefit of the church fund of old Holy Cross, formerly - _Bt. Patrick and St. John’s, and Mr. Dwyer took occasion to pay a timely compliment to the pastor, Father McGinty, the men- tion of whose name called out a warm burst of applause. The stage was graced with a profusion . of bright flowers and a liberal display of American flags—enough to clearly indi- -cate “under which flag,” .- The itroduction by Hon. J.J. Dwyer to be sure had got the audience on tipioe, paming him as the fearless leader of the fight against bigotry and intolerance. * Father Yorke referred good-naturedly to the encomiums of the chairman, and . then sought the indulgence of the audi- ence for one of his “preludes.’”’. Assent being signified by laughter and applause, the lecturer took the occasion to *“‘take a fall” outof hisespecial antipathy, Rev. D. M.Ross. Then herererred to the Merchants’ Association, saying that that body haa re- cently sent rirculars to the different coun- «cils of the A. P. A., asking them to put watchers at the polis in the interest of the charter. He wanted to kuow if the Mer- chants’ Association could not get decent men for such work; why “they should go : down into the sewers of society’’ for their assistants. “I may use your name,” he said, *in which to demand an answer.”’ The first rounded period of the lecture unfurled the two flags to be touched upon “1in the lecture, ‘‘the black flag of intoler- ance” and the *bright, starry flag of free- dom.” The lecture was another of Father Yorke's onslaughts upon the A. P. A. He | wondered again that such a society, hav- ing for its purpose the repeal of the first article of the consutution—the guarantee that citizens of this Republic ¥ worship their God when and how se; that such a society should be permitted to exist but could in "this the closinedaysof the th century. Such a wonder be- possible, "he said, throl rdice_of newspapers and politicians h ed to speak out and denounce {. what they knew to be evil. He said the coming election would prove the strength of this society; that its candidates for principal cers and its members were working and nail for their success. They within the past few months been o decency and forced back into ss whence they had come, but they were successful they would come forth again, bold and arrogant, and heap “tbeir fiith upon the devoied head of Cath ism. The society had been whipped into nce and decency because the great majority of the people, Catholic nd Protestant alike, were shown to be against it. But this society was not only an anti-Catholic society—a society that is pledged to oppose any Catholic for pubiic ce for no other reason than that he isa tholic—but it is a secret political society with the purpose af electing candidates of . their checice. It is un-American to the . last degree. He called upon his hearers to mark the _ men not only who were avowed members of that society, but every man who had Jbeen indorsed by it “If ycu stand by your flag, my hearers, * we will, upon next Tuesday, have seen the ‘.last of the A. P. A. It will have been buried beyond resurrection and peace will come and bigotry and intolerance will no more raise their heads in this City. “We have indeed the signs of these good times at band. I never knew there were * so many Catholics until after the nomina- tions of all the several parties in this . campaign. Every one of them have pro- ~duced evidence that they at least had a ‘Catholic grandmother. [Laughter.] Itis amusing to see how these feliows seem to -. believe that because their aunt’s cousin was distantly related to some one who knew how 1o make the sign of the cross, . 'all -good Catholics should fall on tbeir ."necks and cling to them as long lost brotaers.” [Laughter.] . The speaker then referred to and de- plored dissensions within their own ranks and callea upon his hearers to unite and stand by their flag. “It has been said that I had, or was about o, advocate the election of this or that candidate,”’ said the speaker. “I ‘wish to take this opportunity to deny it. | I would not be likely to descend into the | filthy pool of politics. I would sooner sce | .a member of the A. P, A. in every office in the City, from Mayor to poundmaster, . than t0 much as move my little finyzerl toward dictating a vote to any American citizen. If the A. P. A.candidates are elected you have yourselves to blame— | . certainly I am not to blame. |[Laughter.] If we are beaten, however, itsimply means | that we must_take off our coats for two i It must be admitted that disagree with us. t bad [Laughter.] “I have said that the Catholic voter is the freest voter on earth, and I repeat it. “I have said that no Catholic priest ever would undertake to interfere with any mangin the exercise of his franchise, . and I repeat it. I declare that the people ere fully capable of running their secular . affairs,” I will ®ay, however, as 1 have a .right to, that no Catholic should help to place in authority any man pledged to or . supported by that dark lantern brigade, “ tue American Protective Association. I will say further that all of the candidates for the Mayoralty save one are fighting “under the banner of freedom.” The speaker also spoke strongly against the proposed new charter and called upon his hearers to vote against it. He ‘said it had been made in a hurry by men many of whom were in no wise fitted for the lask. a telling peroration the speaker called upon his hearers to enlist under the anner of liberty and freedom, the stars nd stripes, and oppose intolerance and Il would be well. .

FORTUNE WON BY ERROR The Mutual Life Insurance Com- pany Falls a Victim to a Technicality. How the Clerk of a Court Swears to One Thing When the Records Show Ancther. Mrs, Nellie Phinney of Portland, execu- trix of the estate of Guy C. Phinney, ob- tained a peculiar but substantial victory in the United States Court of Appeals yes- | terday. Through the fault of some one— | said to be A. Reaves Ayers, clerk of the United States Circuit Court for the District of Washington—the right of the Mutual Life Insurance Company to be heard by | the Court of Appeals in an action involv- | ing $98,000 was denied and the suit pr- | dered dismissed. | The facts leading up to this unexpected climax and the condition which brought | about the original suit may be briefly told | as follows: Some months before his death { Guy C. Phinney of Portland insured his | life for $100,000. When the widow made 2 {demand for the money the company re- fused payment, alleging misrepresenta- | tion on the partof the deceased. A suit { to recover the face of the policy, less the | premium due, was instituted by Mrs. | Phinney in the Circuit Court of Washing- | tan, the company finally los'ng. 3 | “Notice of an appeal was at once given | and the writ of error later placed in pos- session of the clerk of the couri, A. Reaves Ayers. When the papers finally reached | the clerk of the Court of Appeals it was discovered by Mrs, Phinney’s attorney, | Lorenzo 8. B. Sawyer, that the writ of | error had never been filed with the clerk | of the Washington court. At least there | was no recora of such act on the docu- ment itself. At the June session of the { Court of Appeals Mr. Sawyer moved to idismiss the entire action on the ground {that no proper or legal citation on the | writ of error had been issued or served, and further tbatthe writ had not been | filed with the court below. | The court took tne matter under advise- | ment and yesterday a majority of that body, Judges Ross and Hawley, rendered an opinion sustaining the contention of | Mrs. Phinney’s attorney, and ordering the | action dismissed with costs to the plaintiff |in error. Judge Gilbert returned ‘a dis- | senting opinion, to the effect that the in- | dorsement on the writ of error of the clerk }in the lower court was not essential. The { fact that he had the document 1n his pos- | session was ail that was necessary. | Itwas stated yesterday that the failure | of the clerk of the lower court to place his | indorsement on tbe writ of error would probably cause that gentleman no end of trouble, if the insurance people see proper | to push their claim. Mr. Ayers has made | affidavit that the writ of error was filed, | though the document itself gives no evi- | dence of this. In the meantime the com- { pany may take an appeal to the Supreme | Court, asking that body to oruer the Court of Appeals to review the case. Opinions were also rendered in the fol- lowing cases yestercay: Southern Pacific Railroad, plaintiff in error, vs. David R. Brown, defendant in error, peti: { tion for rehearing denied. J. J. Hennessy. et al., piaintiff in error, vs. H. S. Bond, defendant in error, judgment of lower court affirmed with costs. s Balley, plaintiff in error, vs. H. S.

MUDDPLE IN BASFBALL CIRCLES. The Los Angeles Team Will Play Next Sunday Without Their Phenomenal Pitcher. The excitement over the baseball game Sunday at Central Park between the Tufts-Lyons nine of Los Angeles and the Monograms of Oregon is growing with every moment that passes. The lads on either side of the homeplate have friends galore divided into even amd clamorous camps, and, while the bitter- ness so recently engendered is developing into unlooked for proportions, it promises well foran unprecedented throng at the next meeting on Sunday. The same two teams that acquitted themsalves so well at the former meeting will meet again, and it will be “for blood,” sure enough, this time. The people know that, and, preferring that kind of play to the methodical and perfect action of trained professionals, they will test the capacity of Central Park more than it has ever been, making it so much better for the charitable fund to which the dollars are to be devoted. The existing trouble between the Tufts- Lyons nine of Los Angeles and the man- mate strength of our nine. With Harvey, we believe we are invincible, but if we can’t have him we believe we can defeat the Monograms anyhow.” The local mansgers of the baseball tournament chaperoned the Monograms and the Tufts-Lyons last evening to the performance at the Columbia and to a late lunch at Norman’s. At the former. place Manager Friedlander made the rival clubs comfortable in the four lower proscenium boxes, where they enjoyed an ex- ceilent show, and for the time being for- ot that there had ever been a controversy {wesn or nbouft:kllum. e n speaking of the points of difference whichphave %een raised, both the local managers denied that there was the slightest degree of favoritism shown any particular team. 3 “There is this about the affair,” said one of them. “The Examiner will have to put up about $18,000 this year for tie hos- pital, and we propose grabbing every dol- lar in sight and laying it away in advance. We are not making a cent of money out of this thing ourselves, and we have no reason to antagonize the Los Angeles peo- ple or to favor those of Portland. “We want this tournament to be played out on fair-play rules especially, aithough the National League rules wiil be abided by on the field unless we sée that they are not in accord with ourrules. For instance, the National League rules require an umpire to continue throughout the game, and we reserve the right and power to put him off the field at any time we deem his removal necessary. “When we gathered these boys to play ball we inaugurated a private system to determine their proper ages. The age limit was 18 years and 6 months. Well, by means of our own we discovered that Har- vey was at least 18 years and 11 months old, notwithstanding affidavits to the con- trary. As a matter of fact Idon’t believe in the affidavits of mothers and fathers in these cases. See the Flemming case back East, where even the tombstone on the grave of Flemming’s twin sister was de- stroyed so asto hide hisage. No, sir; I will accept no affidavits as to Harvey’s age. I will rely only on our own investi- 11 1] SHIELDS 11AvaGER ERVIN K. HARVEY, the Lad Who Is Said to Be Too Old to Play in the Baseball Tourn. ament. His Manager, M. M. Shields, of the Los Angeles Tufts-Lyons Club. agement of the series of games isclean cut. The Examiner people refused to allow Harvey, the phenomenal pitcher from the south, to assume the box in which he has repeatedly played since the tournament began. They claim he has passed the age limit of 18 years and 6 months and is not entitled to recognition. The Tu:ts-Lyons nine declare that this is wrong and have demanded of the pro- testors that evidence be produced show- ing Harvey to be over-aged. This so far has not materialized, even in the face of the evidence the nmine has presented that Harvey is ot yet 18 years old. As Managzer Shieids states, “It's a poor mother and father who can’t tell the age of their owa child, and here is the affi- davit Harvey’s parents have sworn to be- fore d notary as to his right age”: James C. Harvey and Clara A, Harvey, belng duly sworn, say: That they are residents of the city and county of Los Angeles. State of | California, that formerly they resided in the fown of Saratoga, county of Santa Clara, State of Caltfornia, and that they so resided during the year: from 1874 to 1880, inciusive; that Ervin Haryey is their son and was born in said town of Suratoga on January 5, 1879, and that, therefore, he will not be 1! 9’; ars of age until the 5th day of January, 18t Furthermore, they affirm that the aforesaid Ervin K. Harvey is the same person who is a member of the Tufts-Lyons Arms Baseball Club, and &s such member played in 8 contest between said Tufts-Lyons Arms Club and the Alameda Alerts Baseball Club on Saturday, the 12th day of September, 1896. In witness whereof, the deponents have herennto set their hands and seals this 14th day of October, 1896. [s:nl JaMES C. HARVEY. Seal CLARA A. HARVEY.

SUMNER, Notary Public. “This trouble,” Manager Shields of the Los Angeles nine stated last evening, “dates pack to the game the Tufts-Lyons played with and won from the Alerts of Alameda by a score of 12 to 1 on Septgm- ber 12 of this year. Within twenty-four hours, the regulation time, a protest was entered against Charles Franck, our short- stop, claiming he was over age. #No one else was protested against, al- though Harvey pitched for us then as he has ever since, excepting on Sunday last. Franck, however, proved his age to be within the limit and he has since been re- instated. ‘‘About one week after the Franck epi- sode a protest was entered against the en- tire.team, a thing which was clear beyond the right and power of any person, as the National League rules limit the time for protests to twenty-four hours. At this time, however, Mr. Burke, then the man- ager of the nine, sent in a correct list of ages of all the lads. “A month later, for the first time, we learned through the press dispatches that Harvey was disqualiied. If he was re- tired honestly, so should have been the entire nine. We immediately asked that Harvey be reinstated and furnished evi- dence to the effect he was of proper ags in support of our request. No answer was m.J’e to this, and ever since they have re- fused to let us see the evidence upon which the aisqualification was based. “Suriday we subnitted to the arvitrary ruling and played tne best game ever wii- nessed in this State. We first offered to give the game to the Monograms provid- ing they allowed us to play Harvey. We did not want to disappoint the thousands of people who had come to see the game, ‘and we wanted to show them we could play ball. ““We have no desire to fool or humbug the public by putting in our mine any player not justly entitled to be there, .As | 1o the cup, trophy or ‘collar,” whatever name you may call it, we.do not care for the t?ing, but we do care to have the public see us play with the full and legitiy gations, and, as I told Manager Shields of the Tufts-Lyons, 1 will produce evidence that the disqualification of Harvey is but just when the Los Angeles team will be ready to return home.” o S THE THREE CHAMPIONS. Pertinent Comments by Nevada Papers About the Interstate Baseball Management. There are now three clubs remaining undefeatea and cl.ampions of their re- spective States. They are the Monograms of Oregon, the Stars of Nevada and the Tufts-Lyons of Californla. Two of these clubs at least are chafing under gross injustice visited upon them. The Tufts-Lyons, as already published, show how an injustice was done them when Harvey was disqualified from assum- ing the box without first having been given a hearing as to his right to pitch last Sunday in the game ageinst the Mon- ograms, In addition to thisthey are chai- ing under the arbitrary rule or order given by the Examiner to close the day’s play with a tie game when, after twelve innings, the Monograms were permitted to go to bat in the beginning of the thirteenth and have one man—Iunovan—put out at first. The Stars likewise are angered, und behind them voicing their grievance is the press of Nevada, A few comments made on the methods used during this series nf interstate games were gathéred by the Daily Territorial Enterprise of Virginia, Nev., and are reproduced here under the original caption: THE FAKER’S POLICY. STILL TRYING TO BULLDOZE THE STARS INTO PLAYING. The edition of the monarch of the fakers to reach us yesterday contains two colurans of fine type and some pictures caiculated to be funny, the subject of which is its jobbea base- ball tournament. The Examiner evidently ‘believes that by its siurs aud caricatures it can drive the Stars to play the winning team of next Sunday's game, but the Stars are made of different stuff. They will not recogn:ze the Tufts-Lyons combination as champions in the monarch tournament, but will play the Los Angeles team' for & purse or gate receipts. Should the Monograms win, then the Stars will play them a game for the final champion- ship, provided they could get some guarantee that they would be treated fairly by the Ex- aminer. The boys have smail faith in any promises the schemers of the Examiner may hold forth and will probably demand some satisfactory guarantee of fair play. The Examiner jobbers who have the baseball tournament in charge evidently do notknow what “fair play’’ mean: The Examiner to reach us yesterday says: This contest is the final one for the trophy in the great championship tournament—that is if the Nevada Stars adhere to their determina- tion to rest where they are. Los Angeles is sending the champion baud of this”State to meet the spelibinders of Oregon, and the win- ners of this game will keep open house for the Stars, provided those Indians conclude to leave the reservation for another ghost dance at Central Purk. The Winnemucca Silver State says: The Nevada Stars Baseball Club. has Treturned home, having declined to pi the Los Angeles team to decide the California-Nevada championship. It is & fair sample of Californ unfairness for the Examiner to require the Nevada team to meet two Cghfornia teams when but one could be champion of ‘Califor- fornia. The Examiner evidently intends to keep the trophy in California if possible, The action taken by the Stars, of course, lets them out of the fight for the championship, but they have proven that they know how to play ball better than California’s best, and would have en excellent show for the coast championship but for the unsportsmanlike stand taken by the Examiner. g 3 ‘The Oregon champions are to meet the Los ‘Angeles team at San Francisco next Sunday. If the Oregon boys win we predict that they will be compelled to meet the defeated Alerts, as the pr me is to give California two chances for the prize where any other State has only one. ROYAL HAWAANS VISIT MR, FOSTER They Oppose.Any Foreign Flag Over Their ' Country. The Ex-Secretary Is Presented With an Address on the Peru. ASKED TO0 FAVOR NATIVES “When Americans Want the Union Jack Then Kanakas Will Want a Foreign Banner.” Just before ex-Secretary Foster sailed for Honolulu on the Peru yesterday he was visited by a committee from the Royal Hawalian band, whose purpose was to invite him to talk with their country- men fuily on the status of Hawaiian af- fairs before expressing an obinion favor- able to annexation. Mr. Foster graciously received the com- mittee and heard what it bad to say, promising to be fair in his hearing of matters of a political nature, - Just as the Peru sailed, to make its purpose more ex- plicit, the’ committee handed Mr. Foster the following letter: SAN FrANCISCO, Oct. 26, 1896. | Hon. John W. Foster, San Francisco, Cal.—SIR: You were Secretary of State in the Cabinet of President Harrison, when, early in 1893, a treaty was negotiated by you, on behalf of the United States, with certain gentlemen pro- fessing to represent the Government of the Hawaiian Islands, the object of which treaty was the absorption of our nativeland, and the extinction of the Hawalian nation, by the United States. You are now on your way to Honolulu, and reports and interviews pub- lished in the press of this City represent you as being bent upon the further promotion of the Ero)‘eu of annexation, which was stayed by the act of President Cieveland, out of re- gard for the political rights and desires of . the Hawaiian people. We are native Hawaiians, members of the musical organization formerly existing under the name of the Royal Hawaiien Band. We are absent from our native land against our desire, having been denied the privilege of earning a livelihood in the land of our birth, Dby the usurping and non-representative party who, since January 17, 1893, have ruled Hawalif at the pdint of the bayonet,such de- nial being basea upon our refusal to swear alle- iance to the usurpers, and to forswear the orms of government under which we were born, and had always lived, untii the date named, and which had existed in Hawaii from time immemorial. We assume and believe that in your rela- tionship to the treaty mentioned you acted in ignorance of the conditions existing in Ha- wail, of the means by which the party then claiming 1o be the Government of and seeking to convey our country to a foreign nation, ob- tained theiriease of power; and of the true sentiments. of the people justly entitled to speak for Hawaii npon the subject of its ab- sorption by the United States. We therefore welcome the prospect of your visit to our country at this time,and trust you will hold yourself in a receptive mobd for the acquiring of information upon the true condition of Hawaiian sentiment concerning political an- vexation to America. And we have every confidence, in view of your known reputation 8s a promoter of political equality and justice, and as an advocate and exemplar of true Te- publican principies of government, that you will not, after learning the sentiments of the Hawaiian people upon this momentous ques- tion, further seek to have imposed upon them olitical condition from which they shrink with dread and with grave forebodings as to its effect upon their future as a people. The proverbial devotion of the American ople to. the principle expressed by your President Lincoin, of a “government oi the people, by the people and for the people,” shou!d, we humbly submit, now suggest to this great Nation the propriety of deierring any further steps iooking toward the political annexation of Hawaii until the will oi the ! qualified voters of our country, as tested by the constitutional provisions existing January 17, 1893, shall have been formally registerea through the medium of & plebiscite. With sincere wisbes for your health and en- joyment upon yonr proposed trip, we remain, sir, on behalf of the band..yours very truly, JOE K. KAAUA, SoL A. HIRAM, JOSEPH ALA, SANUEL K. KAMAKAIA; JonN A1U. Mr. Kamakaia, one of the leading spirits of the band, said, relative to the matter: “Onr people do not want annexation. They prefer a chance to get some of their friends in power some day and cast their fortunes with their own country rather than become an annex to vour country, ‘DANGER IN DISGUISE. The Serious Troubles That May Come Upon People as This Time of Year, “'Oh, it’s only a cold,” Such a remark as this is often heard at this time of she year, when the weather is chiily. The people who make such a re- mark seem to jorget that a cold is really a dangerous condition of the system, a weak spot, a disease. A cold may lead toa cough, and then to pneumonia, or it may sow the seeds of consumption. For this reason it is dangerous to neglectacold. It isbecter to stamp it outatonce. Fortunately there is one means of doing this that is always safe and reliable. What it is and what ‘it will do can be seen from tue following: Mr. M. O. Connor, 271 Scott st., Brcok- lyn, says: down with congestion of the lungs, and, though having the best medical attend- ance, I did not improve.. I had a cough that seemed to coniract my chest to balf ,its natural size. I was in constant pain, and had no rest day or night. At last I was advised to try Duffy’s pure malt whis- key, and it effected a speedy cure. The Iung trouble and cough entirely disap- peared, my appetite was regained, and breathing became as natural as eyer. I now feel like a new man all over.” No ordinary whiskey could have pro- duced these unusual results. As a means of building up the system and restoring the health, Duffy’s pure malt has always been. unequaled. If it were kept in every household, and used in ali cases of emerg- ency, a vast amount of sickness and suf- fering could be entirely prevented. You’ll always buy ’em once you try ’em, and you’ll recommend them to others. SHIRTS ARE HOME-MADE. NEUSTADTER BROS., Manufac'rs, S. F., C FINE CARPETINGS, ELEGANT UPHOLSTERY, RICH FURNITURE!
