THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1896. 5 FLAGSTAFF LOSES TS 0BSERVATORY Telescopes and Machinery Will Be Removed to Mexico. The Astrcnomers Believe Better Observations Can There Be Secured. PLANS FC(R NEW RESEARCHES. Di-mantlirg of a Vantage Point That Has Added Much to Human Krowledge. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Nov. 10.—The Low- ell astronomical observatory, which was established here in 1894 for the study of the planets, and especially Mars, s in pro- cess of removal to the City of Mexico. The lenses of the great telescope have teen removed and the machinery is being ‘aken down, to be shipped to the City of Mexico in a few days. The object 1 go- ing south is to secure better observation during the winter months, and the experts who have studied the question say this can be done on the Mexican plateau, which lies within the tropics and has an elevation of about 8000 feet above the sea level. The observatory was in active operation here during 1894 and 1895, and many hun- . dreds of fine drawings were made of Mars, the result showing that our neighboring plenet 1s covered by an extensive system oi canals, arranged in an artificial way as though the work of intelligent beings. These researches were made by Professors Lowell, Pickering and Douglass and have attained world-wide celebrity, Professor Lowell’s discoveries induced him 10 order a new 24-inch telescope from - Alvan Clark & Sons with a view of prose- . cutin < these studies stili further. The new telescope has been in use here since Augus:, 1896, and many new discov- eries have been made. The work has been centered upon the pianets and southern double stars. Professors Lowell and Douglass have continued their obser- vation of Mars, while Professor Lowell and Mr. Drew have worked on Mercury and Venus during the daytime. In the rair of the afternoon these planets have shown conspicuous markings, and the astronomers have been able not merely to make maps of their surfaces, but to prove conclusively that the bodies rotate once only the course of a revolu- tion abeut the sun. One face of the planet is therefore turned toward the sun and heated to an immense temperature while the other is wrapped in everlasting night. The markings drawn by Lowell have seitled the question of the rotation of Mercury and Venus, which had been partially studied by Schiaparelli some years ago. Mr. Lowell finds that Mercury no appreciable atmosphere while Verus an abundance of it, but for some reason it possesses only a very few clouds. Drawings of its markings have been forwarded to the Royal Astronomi- cal Society in London. Dr. T. J. J. See and Mr. Cogshall have used the new telescope on the southern double stars, and it is announced to-day that since August 1 they have discovered 150 new stellar sysiems, besides measuring 100 stars recognized by previous observers. In Mexico, Dr. See will continue his sweeps for new double stars, and in this more southern latitude opportunity for new discoveries will be especially good. No important vork on the double stars of the southern heavens has been done since the survey of Sir John Herschel, sixty years azo. The plan is to sweep over the whole of the unknown region of the sky about the south pole, and it is believed that hundreds of new twin stars will be found. The Mexican Government is keenly alive to the importance of this scientific expe- dition, and President Diaz has not only - welcomed the American astronomers, but has instructed the Mexican National Ob- . servatory to furnish every possible aid to them in their work. It is said that the - expedition will prove the most important scientific enterprise of this century. TEN YEARS AND FIVE MONTHS. - Sentence of Treasurer George Morrison, Who Pieaded Guilty of Looting a County's Strongbox. TROY, N. Y., Nov. i0.—In the Supreme Court today ex-County Treasurer George Morrison was sentenced to ten years and five months’ imprisonment on his plea of guilty to charges of embezzling funds of the county. Mr. Morrison, prior to the first week in October, was Treasurer of Rensselaer County. Immediately after the closing of the doors of the Nationa! Bank of Trey, of which he was cashier, rumors affecting the solvency of Mr. Morrison and the management of the County treasurership became prevalent. He subsequently transferred to his bondsmen all his real and personal property, valued at about $190,000. On the day of the transfer Mr. Morrison was taken into custody on a warrant charging grand larceny in mis- appropriating about $20,000 due the city of Troy for money collected under the Raines law. He was bailed on this charge, the bond being $4000. A day or two later, as a result of inves- tigation of the County Treasurer's ac- counts by the Board of Supervisors, he was again arrested on a charge of grand larceny in misappro;riating about $250,- 000 of county funds. He was indicted by a Grand Jury two weeks ago and his trial was begun to-day and seven jurors had been obtained wren court aajourned for noon recess. Fora day or two rumors had been current that be would plead ruilty, and at the opening of the court this afternoon this course was taken. The specific indictments on which he was sen- tenced were for refusing to pay bis succes- sor as County Treasurer two distinct sums of mouney. L 0 “DOLLAR WHEAT” IN SIGHT. Shortage of the Argentine Crop Causes the Prices to Run Up at New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—"Dollar wheat” appears to be in sizcht and the vrospect is that the flow of gold from * Europe will soon be resumed. Cash wheat No. 2 red, the standard grade, sold to-day 2t 94 cents a bushel. On August 24 last itsold at 64 cents. The gain therefore in Jess than three months has been 30 cents a bushel. The chief dealings to-day as for some time, were in December wheat, or in other words, in wheat delivered in December. The opening price was 8734 cents, or 13 cents above the closing price of Monday. ‘The low price of the Qay was 87 1-16 cents on a *split sale’’; the highest prics was 89 cents and the final price was 885 cents, or 23{ cents above the final price of Mon- day. The high price previous to Monday for December wheat was 869-16 centson a “‘split sale’ on October 19. A potent factor in moving up wheat was a dispatch from Rosurio saying thatlo- custs had already destroyed one-third of the Argentine wheat crop and were still doing damage. In addition there was in- formation that the drought continued in India and Australia. Ce—— STANFORD VARSITY WINS. Reliance Fails to Score in the Practice Game With the Palo Alto Football Men. PALO ALTO, CaL., Nov. 10.—Stanford Varsity lined up against Reliance this afternoon in a practice game, and kept the Ouklanders from scoring. Stanford made long gains at first through the Reliance line, the work of Fickert at interference being specially strong. His interference made it possible for Seawright to make long gains. Cotton played fullback and his work was of the ‘‘star” order. Cotton made first touciadown from the 30-yard line seven minutes after play began. Carle and Fisher worked especially well together. Siraight made one of the long- est runs to-day by unaided efforts. After the second kick-off Stanford never lost the ball till she made the second touchdown. No goals weretried. The men were changed frequently by both siaes throughout the game. B. Thomas played strongly and Freeman, when tried at fuli- back, bucked and punted well. Dole at left half proved unusuaily strong at buck- ing. .He has not been able to play in practice recently, hence his performance 15 all the more noticeable. For Reliance Arlett and Sexton did the best work, but the tries at the Stanford line were absolutely useless, B. Tuomas made the third down for Stanfora aiter twenty-five minutes’ play. Late in the second half Dole made a pretty 30-yara end run, carrying tbe ball to the Reliance 15-yard line. Fisher and Thomas carried the ball over. Lacuna made several pretty tackles for Reliance. Cotton and Fisher were entitled to more : ard line bucking than any other two men on the fieid. C. Thomas piayed sirong tackle in Cotton’s old position.” A fifth touchdown was made before time was finally called. Score, 20 to 0. — - PILLSBURY COMING HOME. Great Chess FPlayer Talks About Future Tournaments. LONDON, Ex Nov. 10.—A represen- tative of the United Associated Presses had an interview to-day with Henry N. Pillsbury of Brooklyn, N. Y., the Ameri- can chess expert, who is in London on his way back to America from the Continent, where i:e has been playfng, having taken part in the recent chess tournaments heid in Nuremburg and Budapest. Mr. Piilsbury said he wouid not chal- lenge Showalter, but if Showalter should challenge, he would play, not for the title of chamvion, but for money, any amount over $1000; anywhere and at any time after the expiration of two months. The next chess maich by cabie between the representative players of America and Great Britain, Mr. Pillsbury said, would be much more interesting than previous one, in consequence of the fact that there would be two additional players on each side. America, he added. would have to play The the best team that could possibly be got | together in order to defend the trophy, as England would make special efforts to win it. “The time has arrived,” Mr. Pilisbury said, “to hold an international chess tour- nament in the United States, exceeding in importance anything of the kind that has ever been held. In my opinion a double round tournament with eighiesn of the best European players offering to partici- pate, the foreign players to receive the full sum ol their expenses, would bs the best plan. I would suzgest that if Boston and Philadeiphia contribute pecuniary aid to the scheme a portion of the games of the tournament be played in those cities.” Mr. Pillsbury will sail for New York on boara the steamer St. Louis on Saturday. and wiil take a two months’ rest at home. e Basebail Magnates CHICAGO, IrL., Nov. 10.—Baseball mag- nates are gathering in force for the fall meeting of the National League, which will begin at at the Auditorium to-mor- row noon.

Byrnes and Abel of Brooklyn. ‘While many rumors are ir circulation 1 as to what will be done to-morrow, no definite forecast can be made. The outlonk, however, does not seem to indicate a very exciting meeting or one of great importance in its final conclusions, though a number of questions that have vexed the league managers during the past season Wwill come up for discussion and possible settlement. The indicatious to-night favor a rather quiet meeting. DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 10.—Word has been received in the city that Des Moines is practicaily assured a franchise in the Western Baseball League next sea- son. The annual meeting of the league will be held in Chicago to-morrow anda strong delezation of leading business men will be present from here.

PAUL BEFORE IT WENT TO PIECES. PACIFIC GROVE, CAL.. Nov. 10.—The steamer St. Paul, which crashed on the rocks near Point Pinos during a fog in August last and which broke to pieces a few days ago, is being carted high and dry on the beach and hauled away by the Del Monte work teams. The management of the Hotel del Monte does not own the wreck, but it does own the prop- erty lying adjacent, and claims the wreckage &s it comesin. Abner Bassett, who purchased the steamship for $30, had perfected arrangements, and was all ready to save considerable from the doomed vessel. He was to begin operations in a day or two. The craft went to pieces before he got ready, and now the Pacific Improvement Company claims all the wreckage as driftwood. even to several kegs of rum which floated ashore. CAUGHT BY USAL'S TIRELESS RIDERS Two More of the Mudgett| Murder Suspects Taken. [ 0 ficers Come Upen Their Camp n a Fastness of the Mountains. NO RESISTANCE IS OFFERED. One of the Prisoners the Father of the Young M.n Caplured on Monday CAHTO, CaL., Nov. 10.—A second posse of man-hunters returned to Usal to-night after a four days’ exciting chase, having in charge George Ferguson and John Dodge Sr., the latier father of the young Dodge | | apprebended yesterday. Noble‘and Smith | |are stil! at liberty, bat are being closely | followed by a posse in charge of Deputy Sheriff Hart and all of the men suspected | of the murder of Rancher Mudgett are ex- | pected to be jailed to-morrow nighe. | Fergnson and Dodge Sr. were brought | in by Deputy Sheriff Hart and others con- | nected with the pursuit and placed in the i jail. Soon a hundred people congregzated about the jail and in the hallways leading to it to gain the latest information from within, Tue doors to the chief officer's office | were locked, and only a few were admit- ted, and when any of those who were for- tunate enough to gain an entrance refired they were plied with all manner of ques- tions, From information gleaned from Under Sheriff Handy, 1t is believed that the Dodges were the prime movers in the plot for the killing of Mudgett and the burning of his property. All the officers declined to permit any one to see the | prisoners outside their attorneys. The posse of man-hunters left Usal last Saturday, going north to Island Moun- tain, thence to the Trinity County line and east to the Yollo Bolle range. Here the fugitives had taken to the shrubby foothills, returning to Island Mountain again. The posse separated here after the capture of Dodge Jr. and wife, who were escorted back to Usal by Bheriff Handy. The remaining branch, in charge of Officer Hart, continued the gearch for the other fugitives. Gorge and canyon were thoroughly explored. No one can have a just apbreciation of what the offi- cers were called upon to undergo until he has traveled over chemisal mountains, going through places where a grizzly bear would scarce attempt to force its way. Like Dodge Jr. and his wife Ferguson and the senior Dodge surrendered without the slightest resistance. The outlaws were camped in a grewsome spot in the forest. Their campfire scarcely showea through the impenetrable underbrush, but one of the men stumbled on it, and the suspects were surrounded before aware that danger was near. 0 e ’gv.r; 2 THE TiX4> ALL RIGHT, Tugs at Work Pumping the Water Out of : Her Hold. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 10.—The United States battleship Texas was to-day lying at her berth alongside tte Cob dock at the Brooklyn Navy-yard with the wrecking tugs still pumping hard en- deavoring to clear her of the water which flooded part of her interior when she sud- denly sank yesterday. As soon as the engine-room of the Texas was pumped dry of water, work was begun by engineers and firemen to prevent any serious injury to the machinery from the salt water in which it bad been sub- merged. It is said that there will be little or no permanent damage sustainea in this re- spect. The engines were given a thorough washing down to-day to clear them of the muddy water, and a force of men is at work on them, rabbing and oil- ing to prevent ru<t or other injury. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 10.—Secre- tary Herbert has changed the president of the court of inguiry in the Texas accident, which is to meet at the New York navy- yard to-morrow, on account of the iliness of Commodore Miller.

Rwmors That Archbishop Ircland May B Kemoved. CHICAGO, IrL, Nov. 10.—A morning paper prints a dispatch from St. Paul to the effect that rumors are afloat that Arch- bishop Ireland may be removed from the see of St. Paul.

The Murder Quickly Followed by the Suicide of the Assassin. TRAGEDY ON RAILROAD STREET A Weak-Minded Iauvalid’s Revenge for What He Claimed Was Malpractice. TACOMA, Wasn., Nov. 10.—Dr. J. 8. Wintermuth, a prominent physician of this city, was shot and fatally wounded by Samuel S. Tucker on Railroad street at 10 o’clock this morning. Tucker after shoot- ing Wintermuth placed the muzzle of his revolver against his own head and blew out his brains. The doctor died at 10’clock this afternoon at the Fannie Paddock Hospital. Witnesses of the tragedy say that Tucker accused Dr. Wintermuth, who had been treating him, ot malpractice, and without further ado drew a revolver and fired. Tucker was subject to fits of insanity, and had been arrested while mentally unsound two years ago. Dr. Wintermuth was conscious for an hour and a half after the shooting, until put on an operating-table. An exami- nation showed that the bullet entered the left side of his spine, four inches below the lower ribs, passed through the trans- verse processes of the spine and severed two intestines, lodging in the fat in front of the abdomen. Death was caused by internal hemorrhage. Tae victim knew he was doomed, but had hope tc the last. Tucker died within five minutes after he placed the pistol to his head. His body was removed to the morgue. He had no known relatives hereabouts. Tucker had been brooding for the last two weeks and made several threats against the doctor’s life. He claimed that while under medical treatment he had not been given fair treatment. Dr. J. 8. Wintermutn, who was shot and fatally wounded by S. 8. Tucker in Ta- coma yesterday morning, was a brother- in-law of F. K. Lane, an attorney, who re- sides in this City, at 1714 Pacific avenue. He was also a nephew of E. Stinson, a Chicago capitalist, and stockholder in the Central Pacific Railroad. He was professor of surgery in the Tacoma dental college, regent of the Washington State University, ex-vice- president of the Washington Medical Soci- ety and gnysicinn and surgeon of the Fannie Paddock Hospitar. HENSHAW 1S INSPECTOR Colonel Sperry’s Resignation Was Not Accepted and He Was Dismissed. The State Executive Does Not Desire 10 Discuss the Affair at the Present Time. The resignation of George B. Sperry of Stockton, colonel and inspector-general of rifle practice staff, of Governor Budd, was not accepted by the commander-in-chief of the National Guara of California. The Governor, however, revoked Colonel Sperry’s commission and appointed Park Henshaw to fill the position of inspector of rifle practice. Colonel Henshaw com- manded the Eighth Infantry Regiment, N. G. C., befor ' the reorganization of the guard, and is one of the best officers in the State. He brought his regiment forward 10 a high degree of efficiency. The Governor speaks with some reluc- tunce about the incident of Colonel Sperry’s dismissal. When asked yester- dn:ri?(}olonel Sperry was not still an offi- cer of the National Guard, notwithstand- ing his removal from ff duty, the Governor replied: ‘He is no longer an officer of the National Guard. He was re- moved for cause and another officer ap- inted 1n his place. I apvointed Colonel rk Henshaw of Chico. I do not care to discuss the subject for publication.” LOBGE DOCTORS CHAMPIONED The County Medical Society Has Voted in Their Favor. Dr. C. G. Kuhiman’s Resolutions Rejected by That Body. SCME STRONG STATEMENTS. Kuhlman Does Net Despair—O ficers Elected for the Coming Year. The County Medical Sociely held a stormy session last night in the Shiels building, 32 O’Farrell street. It was all owing to the resolution of Dr. Charles G. Kuhiman in regard to lodge physicians, coming up for a second reading. The resolution was not adopted, in spite of the efforts made in its behalf by Dr. Kublman and his sympathizers. The resolutions were read by Dr. Wood- werd, the secretary. Dr. Kuhlman then arose and made a formal motion that they be laid over till the next meeting and published, and a copy sent to each mem- ber. The motion was defeated, and then Dr. Frank Donaldson moved for their adop- tion, being seconded by Dr. John Mont- gomery. On vote the motion was defeated. Dr. F. W. Cheney then moved that they be tabled and the motion prevailed. Their text was as foliows: To the officers and members of the San Fran- cisco County Medical Society: WHEREAS, Certain incorporated bodies and certain so-called charitable and benevolent societies have within this City and County, in ursuance of certain clauses inserted in their aws, entered into contracts with certain medi- cal men, members of this society, where- by medical and surgical services are rendered to the members in said bodies, regardless of the charges specified 1n the fee bill adopted by this society; and 'WHEREAS, The State Medical Society and several connty medical societies throuzhout this State have adovted resolutions condemn- ing said medical contractsystems; tnerefore be it hereby Resolved, That it is the sense of this society that said medical contract systems are perni- cious, for the following reasons: First—They operate to isolate and remove from general medical competition about 75 per cent of the sick in this City and County. Second—They ojerate to concentrate in the hands of about oue-tenth of the members of the medicai profession fully 75 per cent of the sick in this City and County. Third—They operate toenable unserupulous, undignified and unqualified medical men to exist as such, contrary to the laws of the sur- vival of the fittest and th2 best interests of humanity. Fourth—They operate to pauperize the scru- pulous, dignified and qualified members of our honorable protession, whouse appreciation of the calling is -uch as not to ailow th.m to stoop to such nefarious practices. Fifth—They operate as pauperizing agents upon the mas<es by lulling them into years of false securily, during which they neglect to rovide by proper cconomic methods for the Pegmnme expenses of competent medical services and honest medicines during seriovus illness requiring skill not possessed by the average contract doctor. Sixth—They operate to cause substitution of drugs and other dishonest prescription prac- tices on the part of physicians and pharma- cists, as neither can do justice to himself or the sick under contracts that limit the price of prescriptions to from 15 to 25 cents each. Seventh—They operate to prevent scientific medical investigation, as no scieniific physi- cian can afford to give the time necessary for a proper investigation of a case while he is limited by contract to a few cents per visit, Eighti—They operate to deprive the sick of proper and timely medical consultation, oft- times disastrous to the life of the patient and for the following reasons: (a) The contract makes no provisions for this most valuable aid to the attending physician aid patient; “’{1 the patient will not pay a consuitation fee when his contract calls for necessary medical services and medicines during il.ness, and tha soclety would regurd such procedure as an ad- mission of incompetence; (c), & contract doc- tor would rather allow his patient to die than to callina consulting physician at his own ex- pense and run the risk of being exposed as 8. contract doctor to the rest of the fraternity. Ninth—They operate to lower the scientific standard of medical men, as the only qualifi- cations required of contract doctors are poli- tical cunning and unserupulousness. Tenth—They operate to lower the physical and moral standard of medical men, s con- tract doctors mustquite frequently participate in nightly orgies with members of the ring upon whose influence their jobsdepend,where food, drink and language incompatible with physical and mental nealtnfulness of brain- workers are freely dispensed. Eleventh—They o) perate to destroy that pe- culiar, inherent, scientific and ethereal har- mony upon the lines of which alone scientific medical men can'act in unison to carry out the grave objects of their profession, namely, the prevention, amelioration and cure of dise ase.

Eleo Bricea, a child eight years old, died yesterday morning from the effects of in- juries sustained by being run over by a truck on the afternoon of the 4th inst. The little fellow lived with his father, CASTORIA For Infants and Children. iEm B2 Tz C. Bricca, at 915 Battery street, and on the aiternoon of the day mentioned he was playing in the street on Battery and Vail-jo. How the accident happened is not known, but after the truck passed the unconscious child * was picked up and taken to his father’s home. The wheels of the vehicle did not pass over the body and it is supposed that he fell under the body of the truck and was rollea over and over, causing internal injuries. The case was reported to the Coroner who asked for police assistance to find the driver of the truck. s e Surrendered Himself. James Nasn, alias McCann, the vagrant, who, with Beecher Manson, escaped the vigilance of the House of Correction guards on Friday last and left for parts nnknown, turned up at the jail yesterday and gave himself ap to Guard McDermott. Nash was just finishing a six months’ sen- tence for petty larceny when he escaped, and will now face six months more on a conviction of vagrancy. Nash concluded that sure food and lodging was better than facing the rainy weather, particuiarly as the pursuit was getting warm. Manson is still at large.
