14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1896. HOW MIKE TOUCHED A BROTHER-IN-LAW Deane Might Have Beaten Broderick for City Auditor. Mournful and Impressive Lesson Taught by a Faded Cam- paign Card. BLIGHTED BY THE CHRONICLE. That Journal’s Friendship and Double Dealing Cost a Popular Man a Good Position. Swinging wearily in the wind, impaled by a solitary tack that still held itin bond- age to a telephone-pole near the Chronicle | office, a post-eiection campaign card was to be seen at a late hour last night, bear- ing the inscription 3 VOTE FOR WILLIAM A. DEANE FOR AUDITOR. Regular Repub Labor Nominee. an and United : That handbill, clinging like the last rose of summer to its barren support, buffe ted by the breezes that sweep over the Twin Peaks and up Market street, drenched by the nightly fogs rolling in through the Golden Gate and bleached by the giaring sunshine of the day, that lonely, solitary placard is a sad memento of the recent municipal cam paign. ‘Worn out, dilapidated, passe, steeped in the gloom of innocuous desuetude, that unconsidered scrap of pasteboard 1m- presses an important lesson upon the mind of at least one unhappy journalist of San Francisco. That disgruntled newspaper provrietor is M. H. de Young, editor-of the Chronicle, and he is vigorously kicking himself for having caused the defeat of his brotber-in-law, Wiiliam A. Deane, who, but for Mr. deYoung’s over-ruling propen- sity for double-dealing might to-day be the Auditor-elect of the great City and County of San Francizco. It was a fatal error, allowing that snug salary to escape from the family, and no one realizes it more than does Mr. de Young at the present moment. He yearns in vain for another chance at the game, but the stakes have been won and Mr. Broderick, the successful competitor, would be ungrateful to his friends i he would think of making a race a second time, even if the Election Commissioners should agree to pay the incidental ex- penses. Billy Deane is one of the best known and best liked of the young generation of politicians of San Francisco. Everybody likes him and over 23,000 citizens voted to make him the City’s Auditor, notwith- standing the fact that there were five ca didates in the field. This is really a re- markeble vote, and no other candidate receiving anything like that support has suffered defcat. One candidate for the Superior Court bench actually gains his seal with a total of only 16,898 votes. There is not an incident in Brother-in- law Deane’s canvass on which Brother-in- law de Young c.n depend for consolation When Mr. Deane was nominated by the regular Repubiican Municipal Convention the Chronicle came out with a scathing artizle, declaring the entire ticket to be composed of boiters and indorsing the nominees put forward by Martin Kelly, M. H.de Young and a handful of fsllowers, including Asa R. Wells for Auditor. Fora while THE CALL and other friends of Mr. Deane hopea tha: the Chronicle wou!ld give him a chance to win by re- fraining from tendering him its support. But, alas, he was not destined to enjoy any such luck. The Chronicle began, one fatal day, to publish articles in his be alf, and that seaied his fate, though, despite the Chronicle’s efforts, he was defeated by & very narrow margin. Lest Brother-in-law de Young has not vet fully comprehendea the situation, the following statistical statement is furnished for his perusal: Broderick’s vot Deane’s vote. 24,251 23,.92 Broderick’s plurality, 959 Itisknown that Mr. de Young’s domi- nance of the Martin-Kelly convention was 50 complete that he could have secured the indorsement ot Mr. Deane if he had so desired, or at least he could have put up a man of straw who could have been knocked down with a feather. Before his sympathies for his brother-in-law were aroused he ignored these conditions. At last he decided to do his best to elect his relative_and induced Mr. Wells to with- draw. But the siroxe came too late. Mr. ‘Wells is areputable citizen, though un- fortunately tound in evil company for one time at least. His withdrawal from the race was published on the first page of the Chronicle, and was given prominent men- tion by all the papers of the City, but his popuiarity is so great that he received nearly 2500 votes, since it was impossible at that late date to take hisname from the blanket ticket. Now, here are a few more fipures for Brother-in-law _de Young. If De Young had taken Mr. Wells out of the fight at an earlier day it is fair to presume that Brother-in-law Deane would have got the Republican votes that were cast for Mr, Welis, and the result would have stood thus: Broderick’s vote Deane’s vote Wells’ vote. .. 24,251 190 7 Total celver 25,782 Any schoolboy can tell Brother-in-law de Young that this would have given Brother-in-law Deane a lead of 1531, which might have been greatly auge NEW TO-DAY.

Reference to the municipal election re- turns will show that the top vote for the Martin Kelly ticket was only about 7000, Mr. Laumeister leading the proces ion, and the phenomenal strength disclosed by Mr. Deane must be ascribed to his per- sonal popularity and to the meager circu- lation of the Chronicle, which prevented a great many voters from ascertaining that that journa! was supperting him. BURGLARY CON POWELL. The House of Mrs. J. S. Mayer Entered. Ladies Frighiened. A burglar entered the residence of Mrs, J. 8. Mayer, 6061 Powell strest, near Buslll, some time during Thursday night. Itis thoueht he entered through the front door and passed thréugh the hall into a front room occupied by a young man who lodges in the house. Then he must have passed through the south side of the bay-window out onto a small veranda, and from there entered the bay-window of the front par- lor. He probably went back into the back parlor, which is the sleeping apart- ment of the Misses Birdie and Tress Muyer. There had been left on the bureau a purse containing $575 and some rare coins, All these were taken exceptthe purse, which was leit behind with 1 cent in it. On the way in the burglar went through tne pock-ts of the young lodger and se- cured $2 95. It is believed that he must have been scared off before he could do any more damage. He went out by unlocking the varlor door from the inside and passed out through the hall. The mere thoughtof a man having beer. in their room has almost given the Misses Mayer nervous prostration. FIND HE LIBELED JUDGE HEGBARD Grand Jury Found Two In- dictments Against Fred Marriott, The Defamatory Articles Were Published in the News Letter. LANGUAGE OF THE LIBELS, Circular Signei by Depositors of the People’s Home Bank Published After Signers Were Indicted. The Grand Jury went into Judge Slack’s court yesterdav afternoon and through the foreman, Frederick Hobbs, pre- sented two indictments for misdemeanor libel against Fied Marriott, proprietor of the San Francisco News Letter and Cali- fornia Advertiser. On motion of K. D. Peixotto, Assistant District Attorney, a bench warrant was issued for Marriott’s arrest and bail fixed at $500 on each charge. The complaining witness in this case is J. C. B. Heobard, Judge of the Superior Court. He submitted to the Grand Jury, through Mr. Peixotto, a copy of the San Francisco News Letter of October 31, 1896, The circular signed by T. H. McCarthy, E. F. Kendall, Thomas 8. Williams Jr., George B. Conant, Benjamin Lucy, A. L. Casarair and T. H. Qualman, People's Home Savings Bank depositors commit- tee, was published under the following display lines in the News Letter of last Saturday: AN APPEAL TO VOTERS. What the representatives of the swindled depositors of the People’s Home Savings Bank ink o JUDGE J. C. B. HEBBARD. Substantial reasons why he should not be re-elected Superior Court Judge of the City and County of San Francisco. Shortly afier the circular was first cir- culated as a campaign document, the men who signed it -were indicted for libel by the present Grand Jury. One indict- ment against Fred Marriott is for the pub- lication of the same document in :he News Letter. The second indictment found yesterday was for publishing the following comment on the document first mentioned : part t- In another A WORTHY JUDGE, of tue News ter appears an article signed FORSOOTH! by & committee of the People’s Home Savings Bank depositors showing adequute cause why Judge Heblard should not be re-elecied. “The statements made in this terrible document will cause every honest man to shrink from voting for a creature who is thereln clearly proven to be the enemy of numerous widows &nd orphans, and morally liable for the loss of their littie savings. Is that the sort of man to re-elect Judge? Not so. Intelligent men will learn well the lesson that article teaches, and will see 1o it that he is removed from the high po- sition he disgraces. If tools are 1o be elected to the judiciary, then honest men had better getoutof the City. But it will be more nutu- Talior us 10 relegate the tools to the oblivion they so richly merit. The indictments set forth that the arti- cles published are malicious and defama- tory, tending to impeach the_ integrity, viriue and honesty of J. C. B. Hebbard, a Judge of the Suferior Court, and to ex- pose him to public hatred and contempt. The members of the Grand Jury attend- 1ng the session at which the indictments were found were Freaerick Hobbs, Harry Durbrow, C. C. Burr, George Joaes, H. 8. Hogan, William L. Ashe, William F. Man, Robert Haight, David B. Faktor, August E. Drucker, James C. Nealon, Richard Pecnt, E. P. Farnsworth, Frederick W. Zenfuss, M. Spiro and Wilham H. Pratt. ‘While Judge Hebbard was waiting in the anteroom for members of the Grand Jury to arrive he was greeted and con- gratulated on his success in the election by many of his friends in the City Hall. Gbn- c_ermnf'the libel proceedings against the News Letter he remarked that the indict- ment was not sought on his own account, but as a matier of public duty and im- portance. It is expected that the trial of the case will reveal the names of persons or corporations that expended money in eon- sidernt‘.lle sums to print and circulate cam- paign documents designed to deieat Hebbard. g i —_— —_— The Latest is Art. We are indeed living in a great age. Valuable discoveries are daily being made, and inventors are constantly at work try- ing to benefit mankind. The art of pho- tography has not been forgotten as many useful processes have been discovered. The Bas Relief, a raised photograph which is the invention of our worid-renowned photographer, I W. Taber; ranks as the finest and most artistic discovery of this decade. Mr. Taber's gallery has been e uipped with the latest photographic np;}mnce!, also a new elevator running from the ground floor of 121 Post street to his pho- tographic parlors has been erected for the benefit of Lis patrons, and it now only lies with the public to furnish some ex- cellent subjects. ——————— One English railway company al s sucs over a ton of railway tickets weekly. WOMEN WORKERS FINAL RALLY Resolutions Adopted Declar- ing for a Renewal of the Fight. They Raise a Good Sum of Money to Pay the Last Cam- paign Debt. A ROAST FOR DE YOUNG The Metropolitan Temple Mecting Was a Rouser in Numtbers and Enthusiasm. The convention of the State Suffrage Association concluded its business yester- dey and adjourned, baving furnished Ellen C. Sargent, whose valuable time and ser- vices for the past year have been wholly de- voted to the cause of woman suffrage. whose house was used as headquarters for nine months and whose home has been placea at the service of our Eastern assisiants during the entire campaign. Resolved, That no formula of words can ex- press the gratitude and reverence we feel for our honored Nationsl leader, Susan B. An- thony, who has given eight months of ier precious life to the women of Calilornia, with- out any financial recompense ‘Wwhatever, reu- dering the same unse fish devotion to the pres- entcampaign that she has contributed to the whole Nation for fifty years. Resolved, That while we accept the verdict of the election, we do not regnrd it as final, but believing that ourcause is just and must prevail, we will enter at once upo : & vigorous campaign which will end only when the bal. lotis placed in the hands of California women. Iay Harper, Rey. Elizabeth er Mary A Swift, Ida_V. Stambach, Hat- otton, Ads H. Van Pelt, committee. A vote of thanks at the su-gestion of Mrs. McCann was given by the conven- tion to the men who voted for the enfran- chis-ment of women. - Following is the report of the committee on plan of work to be undertaken at once and continuea: 1. Work for constitutional amendment at the next Legislature, pians 10 be hereafter de- veloped. 2.

HAY. pluck and patience such as should quiet forever the calumny that women do not know how to govern themselves—that they become hysterical in face of defeat. Just before adjournment the women of the convention subscribed $1125 to pay off a campaign debt of $900 and to begin a re- newal of the fight for suffrage. Not one note of real discouragement was struck during the convention. The meeting at Metropoiitan Hall called in advance as a rejoicing over an anticipated victory ‘‘was by no means a funeral,” as Miss Hay remarked. It was a strong “last word” to a magnificently fought campaign. The proceedings of the convention yes- terday morning took the form of a gen- eral leave-taking of the women who have stood and fought together for the past eight months. In the alternoon the real business of the session was transacted in rapid shape. Officers were elected and the committees on *“plan of work” and of “resolutions” made their report, and at the sol.citation of Miss Mary G. Hay the big sum of money was subscribed by women who have for the past eight months been daily paying out money in their work. Following are the ofticers elected : President, Mrs. John F. Swift, San Fran- cisco; first vice-pr sident, Mrs. F. M. Smith, Oakland; second vice-president, Mrs. General John -Bidwell, Chico; third vice-president, Mrs. Elmira T. Stevens, Los Angeles; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Judge ©Cotton, San Francisco; re- cording secretary, Mrs. Nellie H. Blinn, San Francisco; treasurer, Mrs. Mary 8. Sperry, San Francisco; auditors—Mrs, Lovell White and Mrs. George Oulien, Ban Francisco. The State delegate to the National com- mittee was not chosen, but will be at a meeting of the ex cutive committee to be held at Mrs. Sar-ent’s home this morning, Mrs. A. A. Sargent and Mrs. Knox Goodrich were by resolution made hon- orary presidents. 2 Mrs. Sperry, treasurer, made her report throuzh Mrs. Emma B. Sweat, whom Mrs. Sperry credited with doing all the real work connected with her office. She reported that over $15,000 had been sub- scribed and expended during the cam- paign; that over a million Woman suf- irage | aflets had been sent out. Miss Anthony remarked that this was the largest sum of money ever handled in a State campaign in the cause of suf- frage. Following is the report 6f the commit- tee on resolutions read by Mrs. Ida Harper, chairman of the press commit- tee, and whose appearance on the stage was greeted by applause: WHEREAS, After an eight months’ campaign to secure suff.age for the women of L‘-H!ornf-, supported by a large proportion of the press and all the moral and educational forces in the State, we find a majority of the popu.ar vote against conferring this franchise; and whereas this campaign has revea'ed a deplor- able skepticisi in regard to umversal suffrhge and a decline of faith in American principles, as shown by this refusal to furiner exlemfum franchise; and whereas it has been unmis- tekably demonstrated that the dominating political parties of the State are controlled by corrupt and vicious influences; therefore be it Resolved, That we see in this defeat of woman suffrage a menace to the S ate, a majority of whose voters have declared in Iavor of con- Unuing present conditions and against ad- mitting to a share in the goyernment the only element which can be depended upon to change them for the better. Resolved, That lnll{ recognizing and appreci- ating the services of nearly 800 newspapers in the State which supported the sixth amend- ment, we hereby exp ess the thanks of the State Association and of-all friends of suffrage, aud we urge that their assistance be continued until our vl(-mry: s won. Resolved, association cordially acknowled; the splendid work that has been done by thousands of women in all parts of the State to secure their political freedom, and considers that any individual mentiou would be an unfair discrimination. We take rnuunu. however, in making one exception favor of our retiring State president, Mrs, 10. A local correspondence bureau, to be established, through which letters shall be written, under a nom de plume, to be submit- ted to the censorship ot 8 comm{ttee. 11. The pre: ation of work before other or- ganized bodies; also, an endeavor to interest women's clubs. 12. That woman suffrage speakers and workers shall be absolutely non-partisan.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt made a tell- ing aadress at the close, urging woman suf- fragists to inform themselves upon affairs, to prosecute the work of education upon political service in their clubs and to mn always in the movements looking to good citizenship. AL SRS L MISS HAY SURPRISED. e She Recelved a Handsome Testi- monial Signed by Governor Budd. Governor Budd headed a list of signers to an engrossed testimonial which was presented last eveming to Miss Mary G. Hay, National organizer and president of the Weman Suffrage State Central Com- mittee. The presentation took place at the headquarters of the committee in the Parrott building. A. T. Hatch, W. H. Chapman, Dr. N. T. Bird and Guy A. R. Lewington were the delegation which bad charge of the affair. The testimonial was worded as foilows: To Mary G. Hay: As mén of the Pacific Coest we beat wiinestland muat aeknowiedge that the campaign fought for woman’s suffrage has been one ol'the cleanest and one of the best organized and managed that has occurred in our midst since California came into the Union. The highest degree of credit. for this result is due to Mary G. Hay, National organizer and chairman of the Woman Suffrage State Central Committee, who has shown unusual executive ability and tact. Her organizing power, head and gentle irmness have won forfher what we all cover. It has proved to us that ‘women in politics, as elsewhere, are ou: ana able co-heipers. X Therefore we have determined to sign our names to this, our sincere opinion, that Mary G. Hiy may know in what respect and esteem we hold her.” The other briihant and capable women whom we have been ed to honor and 10 welcome to our State and to our politi- cal platforms, under the leadership of that grand and steadfast woman, Susan B. An- thony, know what our orinion of them is. Miss Hav has taken the guieter J‘"’ the busi- ness part, the executive part, the o:pnhh(_ Ppart, and this we all know is one of the most difficalt of all; and for this reason we wish to express to her personally our most sincere congratulations and keen appreciation of her exceptional - biliy, from first to last, in the campaign of 1896 for woman suffrage in the State of California, A. T. Hatch presented the testimonial with & neat presentation speech. The other members of the delegation also made briei remarks, also adding «'eserved words of praise for the work Miss Hay has faiihfully performed.’ Miss Hay spcke briefly in acknowledg- ment. She said that she did not think that she deserved the mark of favor which bad been given to her, but she could ap- preciate it, coming as it did from gentle- men who know something of business and of political work. She would be glad to show the gift to her people and tosay that there were 80,000 good strong men in Cali- fornia. She appreciated the gift more than she could ever express in words and mora than those present could possibly understand. Miss Hay has been the executive officer of the woman suffrage cam paign, to whom all the workers looked for direction. She has worked several months in this State for woman suffrage. —_—— DE YOUNG ROASTED. A Rousing Meeting at Metropolitan Hall-Ringing Speeches. The meeting at Metropolitan Temple was a “‘rouser,” filling all the seating and standing space under the big roof, As Miss Hay said, it *‘d1d not look like a lost cause.” Miss Anthony presided and had the audience with her all the time. The officers of the convention of the afternoon read the resolutions and told of the work of the campaign, the resolations read by Mrs. Harper being warmly ap- plauded. Judge Maguire was introduced by Miss Anthony and was greeted as a friend. He said that among the best speeches he had heard during the campaign were made by women while advocating their cause. He said he had been embarrassed during his own canvass. For himseli he stood for Wwoman suffrage not as such but as favor- ing a part of universal suffrage for which he stood. His embarrassment had arisen from the fact that his own party in con- vention had refused to indorse woman suffrage in its platform, and speaking under the suspices of that party it would have been unseemly in him t¢ speak his views upon the subject of suffrage. He hoped that at the next convention of his party the plank for svifrage would be favored by a large majority. So far from the fight being finished he declared it was 1n full flood, and would not finish until women voted with men. Rev. Dr. McLean of Oakland was intro- duced a:a relat.ive-in-law of Miss An- thony—her eldest sister had married his eldest brother. **‘And my eldest brother got a very ex- cellent wife,” said Mr. McLean. ‘“And, further, some man has missed the best wife that God could have furnished him in that Susan B. Anthony remains un- married. [Great applause.] Dr. McLean made a strong littie talk, followed by Miss Hay, whose likeness to Miss Shaw keep things a little confused in the woman's suffrage camp. Mrs. Catherine Chapman-Catt made an eloquent talk. She had hoped, she said, that their great leader would be able to walk with them into the promised land, but now shedid not know. Certainly this woman, she said, had been divinely gifted for this special mission, and her place was already secure among the immortals. ““But there is a newspaper of this City, a ‘great’ newspaper, and an owner of that newspaper wiose name will be held in loathing and contempt by men and women who look for honesty and rightin hich places. 8o long as the name of S san B. Anthony is revered the names of these others will be despised.” [Applause.] Rev. Anna Shaw was the lust speaker and her effort was one of the most elo- uent of her series of addresses. he told her hearers that suffrage was as certain as the incoming tide, the cause and the efforts of those engaged in itas resistless as the sea. In conclusion she simply said, “‘Good-by."” i M ss Anthony bade farewell on_behalf of herself and the other six Eastern women who came out for the campaign. WELCH CHARGES FRAUD. He Says His Defeat Was Accomplished by Foul Means. M. J. Welch, the Republican candidate or State Senator i n the Twenty-third District, will contest the election of Syd- ney Hall, the Democratic candidate, who claims to havs been elected. ‘Welch will not only contest but declares an intention of bringing suits for illegal voting or register-stuffing that he says will certainly land some individuals in San Quentin, there to keep company with one Louis Steinberg of Mahoney-Baldwin Hotel unsavory memory. The unofficial returns show that Sydney Hall received 1667 votes, J. G. Tyrrell 1659 and M. J. Welch 1632, A little figuring will show that Hall re- ceived 35 votes more than Welch and Trrrell 27, Mr. Welch will call for a recount imme- diately upon the Election Commission declaring the result officially. ‘Welch claims to have positive evidence of fraud directed against himself and which was sufficient to place the narrow margin over in the columns of his oppo- nents, to his defeat. He refuses, however, to go into particu- lars at tne present in the fear, he says, that those whom he hopes to convict and remove from the possibility of doing an further polities of their peculiar kind wi{l fly to Canada. He promises, however, that there wiil be sensational developments be- fore long. Warrants may be sworn out to-day for the arrest of certain individuals of con- siderable prominence in political circles. —_—— ‘Welcome to Dr. Hemphill. A welcome home will be tendered the Rev. Mr. Hemphill, pastor of Calvary Church, and Mrs. Hemphill Tuesday evening in the church purlors. The members of Calvary Church had arrariged to give the reception last evening, but owing to an unavoidable delay Dr. Hemp- hill was unable to reach the City until too late an hour for the reception. The arrange- ments for the welcome home are in charge of an executive committee, of which D. W. Hors- burgh is chairman, and indications point to a very large attendance of the members of the chureh. The parlors will be beautifully deco- rated by a committee under the direction of Mrs. A.-R. Baldwin, and an interesting pro- gramme has been prepared. ——— Faro Game Raided. Captain Al White's faro game, 13 Third street, was raided by Sergeants Davis, Done- van and a squad of policemen at 12:30 o'clock this morning. The dealer, lookout and six players were arrested and booked at the South- ern Poiice station, but were subsequently re- leased on bail. A complete faro iayout was secured and will be used as evidence against 1he offenders. e Tardy in His Payments. The Home Mutual of New York and the Pheenix of Hartford, two insurance companies, have caused the arrest of Thomas Agnew on a charge of feiony embezziement. Agnew, it is claimed, has been acting local nt for both comvanies, and, it is al- leted,‘?n been holding out some $300 he should have paid into them for premiums collectdd. ———— Robert P, Keating’s Will.

Rauer, the col- lector, and Moses Barnett of the Journal of Commerce were the principals. 1t was one of the very few interesting fights re- sulting from the election and the audience enjoyed it greatly. Barnett, who was interested to some ex- tent in the canvass of W. A. Deane for the office of Auditor, has been making statements that Rauer put up $600 to keep Mr. Chapman, the independent candidate for Auditor, in the fi ld, for the express purpose of defeating Deane.. These tales came to the ears of the collector, and when he met Barnett yesterday he de- manded to know the truth of the matter. “Yes, I did say that you were trying to beat Deaune,” answered Barnett, “and moreover I can prove it. You were stand- ing in with another candidate to beat him, and you know it.” . Rauer looked him in the eye for an in- stant and then said slowly: “You are a liar, sir.” Barnett did not delay about beginning hostilities, but swung his right on Rauer’s eye and was preparing for another blow when the porily and thoroughly enraged collector closed on him and a rough-and- tumble contest, without regard to the rules of :he ring, ensued. Both clawed and punched desperately and by the time they were separated by clerks were exhdusted and somewhat the Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. worse for wear. Barnett had several scratches about the forehead and Rauer a | somewhat contused eye. | After tne fight Barnett reiterated his 8 atem¢nt that Rauer had worked and used mouney in the Auditor fight and that Chapman bad told him so in the presence of his brother-in-law. *I went to Chapman and told him that he could not win and. had_better get out of the fight,” he said, “and in answer he told me that he would lose, but that Rauer was putting up the money in the interest of another candidate and that he was go- ing to stay in anyway. He tackled me about it and I punched him, that’s all* Mr. Rauer was somewhat ruffled over the incident, but indignantly denied that he had_put up $600, or any other sum, to defeat D-ane. *‘This man went into a losing fight and was sore over it,”” he said, “‘and spread these lies about to make trouble.
