THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1896. Z = G TP 3 : > LU, BIRDSEYE VIEW OF PROPOSED AFFILIATED COLLEGES. MR, FITZGERALD WAS NOT THERE The Regents Were Anxious to Confer With the Attorney-General. Contract to Build Colleges Held to Be Valid Without His Approval. UNIVERSITY OF THE FUTURT. A Sketch From a Preliminary Draw- ing by Mr. Maybeck of Berkeley. Regents Governor Budd, T. G. Phelps, William T. Wallace, George T. Marye, H. S. Foote, C. F. Crocker, President Kel- logg, J. B. Reinstein, Charles W. Slack, J. West Martin, A. 8. Hallidie, E. A. Denicke, Charles M. Chase and Major Mhoon (attorney of the board) assembled at the Mark Hopkins Insiitute yesterday afternoon, expecting to meet Attorney- General Fitzgerald and get the complica- tion over the Affiliated Colleges adjusted. The Attorney-General did not appear. The Governor directed the use of the tele- phone to ascertain his whereabouts, but no mformation on the subject could be obtained. Major Mhoon told the board that he had conferred with the officers of the Ray Construction Company, and in deference to the views of the Attorney-General they were willing to strike from the contract the words. ““Folsom granite.” Major Mhoon was convinced by exami- nation of the statute that the contract was valid without the Attorney-General’s approval. He cited an act passed by the Legislature of 1895 which leaves the Re- gents and Harbor Commissioners entirely independent of the Attorney- Generai. That act repealed all functions of the Attorney-General so far as the Regents were concerned. Governor Budd said the act qtioted, amending section 472 of the Political Code, was passed at his own suggestion and was designed to give the Board of Examiners legal assistance. The titie of the act ex- pressed 1ts purpose. The sentiment of the board expressed by Regents Foote, Wallace, Marye and Phelps was favorable to consultation with the Attorney - General, although the opinion was freely expressed that the contract was valid without the signature. Mr. Phelps was sure that the Attorney- General would view the subject in a different light when the fact was made clear to his mind that the contractors were not to be benefited by the use of Folsom granite. A communication from Architect A. C. Schweinfurth was read and placed on file. Ii was in the nature of a protest against the method of procuring plans for the Affiliated Colleges which the Regents nuagled. The Regents adjourned until next Tues- day at 11 A. M. The secretary was directed to communicate to the Attorney-General the earnest desire of the Regents that he should attend the session. Since the receipt of Mrs. Hearst’s gen- erous offer to sustain the entire cost of tbe international competition of archi- tects to secure plans for fitting architectu- ral improvement of the university, much interest attaches to the subject. Mr. May- beck, who prepared the plan from which the accompanying sketch is n.ade, has obtained leave of absence to visit Eastern cities and Europe. Mrs. Hearst provides for his compensation and he will have opportunity to impart his views to the leading architects of the world. The sketch was not designed to illustrate the style of the buildings or the number to be grouped on the site, but to show in a gen- eral sense the conditions. —— FCR DUTY IN THE FIELD, War Department Asks for Names of Able Officers in the National Guard. Captain Carrington Directed to Send On the List in a Supplemental Report. Captain Frenk de L. Carrington, First Regiment, United States Infantry, on duty as instructor and inspector, National Guard of California, forwarded his annual report concerning the condition of the guard to the War Department some days since. He has been advised of its receipt in Washington. The department has now directed him to forwara immediately a supplemental report containing the names of officers of the National Guard who would be able to perform campaign duty atonce as officers of the United States army should the Government require their services, Itis understood that this communica- tion 1s to be confidential. The list is for the information of the War Department alone. In preparing this list of capable | eharge of grand larceny, the latter as al and well-trained _officers Captain Carring- ton will base bis judgment on his own observations as to the performance of | military duty by officers of the guard. Four years ago, when a similar request was made, Captain Barry, the inspector, consulted wilth regimental commanders as to tte efficiency and qualifications of the officers in the various regiments of State troops. Captain Carrington will not follow this precedent. He has been on duty as in- spector of the guard for very nearly two years, and has therefore had opportunity to judge for himself as to the merits and demerits of the commissioned ®ificers of the guard. While the demand for this supplemental report does not signify the War Depart- ment apprehends an 1mmediste call for service in the field of more officers than the regular army can supply, it does indi- cate that preparations are making for an emergency. Should the emergency arise the officers wlio are listed as competent to command troops will receive first consid- eration. i Captain Carrington’s supplemental re- | port wiil be forwarded from Sacramenty | within the next week. | PICKPOCKETS JAILED. Joseph Stephens and Joseph Reldy Arrested on Market Street. Joseph Stephens and Joseph Reidy were arrested last evening, the former on a vagrant. Stephens was detected picking | a woman’s pocket. P. B. Nagle and E. B. Wilber grappled with the man and neld him unul the poli \ PIKEER OF RED 006, Colonel Mulligan’s Strange Story | of How He Made { $75,000 ¢ | Now He Is Oid and Lives a Lonely Life on the Snake-Bick After Thirty-S x Yzars. Among the arrivals here yesterday was Colonel D M. Mulligan, formerly of Missouri, who in 1849 was one of the first tomine at Yuba City. Afterward he lo- cated claims at Red Doz and later he | joined the rush to Columbia, in Tuolumne County. He was there when Bret Harte | was in Tuolumne teaching school, und it was also there that he met and becamea firm iriend of Mark Twain. The colonel made 2 lot of money while in these camps. He says everything went his way. But in 1860 he went to the | Snake River gold fields, some fifty miles Colonel D. M. Mulfigan. from Boise. Here he met with reverses for many years, and the result was that till now he never came back to Cali- fornia, - The colonel’s whiskers are long and tangled, and likewise very gray. His face is covered with wrinkles too, and he says he by no means feels as lively as formerly, one reason being that he has the rheu- matism, which he hopes to get cured at Paraiso Springs. I got $50,000 out of the placer mines at Columbia,” he said. ‘[ had previously 2ot $10,007 at Yuba and $15.000 at Red Dog, so I had in ali $75000, and in bard cash. When 1 had it it didn't seem like anything. I thought any man who was any account could go out and make that much. I even pitied men who did not have sense enough to know how. It never occurred to me that I &sad been lucky. I attributed it all to my own long- sightedness. “And as it had been got so easily, I figured that it wasn’t much anyway, and that if I really hoved to fizure asa finan- cier I must have $1,000,000 at least. So I went to plunking in this $75,000 in all kinds of holes in the ground. It didn’t take long for me to get rid of it, and since then for almost thirty-six years I have been up on the Snake River living 1 a little old log cavin, and subsisting on bacon, beans and coffee. Oftentimes I. have been lucky to get these. Then I bave been largely a recluse, a hermit. “I have lived alone until the sight of a woman haif scared me. If I had that $75,000 again and the youth that went with it I would like to see any one cateh me going away to the remote frontier from a State like California and there passing my days in hardship alone. Some of us don’t know what's good for us, nor what comfort is till age comes, and all we have is a uemory. I may strike it vet in some of my claims on the Snake River, but even if I did what great good would money do me now ?'" The colonel has a reputation on the Snake as a hunter as w-ll as a miner. He will leave for Puraiso Springs in a day or two. When he gets cured of the rheuma- tism he hopes to visit the old camps in California where he made his raise. ————— No ope can breathe at a greater height than seven miles from the earth. x FLUNG HAMMERS AND HATCHETS Serious Charges Against Mate Harvey of the Stetson. His Arrest Caused Yesterday by One of the Vessel’s Crew. CLAIMS HE WAS SHANGHAIED. The Complainant a Sailor Whese Chircgraphy Rivals That of a Bank Clerk. Fiist Mate George Harvey of the ship George Stetson, which arrived here from Baltimore on the 11th inst.. was arrested yesterday on the complaint of George Williams, one of the crew of the vessel, who charged the mate with assault and battery on the high seas. Williams, who is an intelligent young man of about 30 years, and who writes a hand that a bank clerk might be proud of, tells a story that promises to evolve some- thing more sensational than the alleged brutality of Mate Harvey. As a preface to his charges against the accused he stated that heis hot a sailor, but a steamship fireman and never before his voya.e on the Stetson went to sea before the mast. I was walking along Caroline street in Ba!timore one day,’”” he said, “when I was approached and asked if I was a sailor and it I wanted & job. Ianswered tbat I was not a sailor, but a fireman. I was told to come along, and the first thing I knew I was on the Stetson. I explained to the mate that I was not a sailor and told him that I wanted to go ashore. He said to speak to the Shipping Commissioner. I aid so and was told to stay aboard that night and on the following day I could go ashore. ““When I awoke next morning the vessel was far out in the bay and it was impos- sible for me to leave the ship. So you see | I was in reality shangbaied. “From the day the Stetson hauled up her anchor on the 4th of July until a few weeks before we got into San Francisco it was knockdowns, beatings with belaying- pins, mallets, hammers, batchets or any- thing that came handy. These the mate wouid send flying at us on the least provo- cation, and often without any cause what- | ever. On one occasion that [ remember distinctly he yelled at one of us: ‘[f it were not for the law, youn — —— T would put this hatchet into your — heads.’ ‘‘But when we were within a few weeks of this port he became as sweet as sugar, expecting, I suppore, that we would for- get all about our mistreatment. “I am not the only one who will make charges. There are two others—Carl Rin- kie and Charles Hayes. They would do so now, but the Judge will only take up one case at a time. I can prove by wii- nesses everything that I cbargeand have a written memorandum of some of the occurrences.” Here the complaining witness produced his record, which displayed a chirography that would have been remarked for its beauty and reguiarity anywhere. This is what it told : “July 29, 2 30 A. M.—Beaten with matted ropes about the head. *‘August 20, 3 p. m.—Beaten with closed hand encircled with ‘palm.” (A ‘paim’is a leather fastening for the hand, fitted with an iron thimble, and is used to sew sails). “September 1, 10:15 A. M.—Knocked down with closed hand. “‘November 6—8truck with fist for obey- ing orders.” “If any man was spoken to,” he con- tinued, *‘in a favorable way by the cap- tain, he was a mark for the enmity of the mate from that hour. He would strike a man without warning and without cause simply for the love of it, as it seemed to e Mate Harvey was arrested yesterday morning and brought before “Commis- sioner Heacock, who released him on $500 bail. The case will be heard on Tuesday. MILITIA WITHOUT FUNDS. Alameda’s Company Also Lacks a Com- manding Officer. ALAMEDA, Caxn, Nov. 14.—The mem- bership roll of Compeny G has now the requisite number of men to entitle it to be recognized by Colonel Fairbanks and draw the necessary $100 per month from the State for armory rent. But all is not plain salling yet. Lieutenant Simpson, in command of the company since Captain Chipman resigned in September, has been unable to draw the State money. Alreadv two months have slirped by, and bis creditors are beginning to get impatient at the delay. It now appears that when the lienten- ant first applied for the State warrant the foilowing answer was received: PETALUMA, Oct. 16, 1896, W. M. Simpson—S1R: I send you a communi- cation from the Adjutant-General concerning Compauy G. You cen see something must be done at once there. You must get in new material and do it Tight away or the compeny will be mustered out. Yours respectfully, D. B. FAIRBANKS, Colcgml coénmudln' Fifth Regiment Infantry, Tke communication referred to reads us: ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFT SACRAMENTO, Oct. 15, 1%?6* Colonel D. B, Fairbanks, commanding Fijth Infantry, N. G.C., Pctaluma, Cal—SIR: Your attention is respectfuily called to the report of Company G, Fifth infantry, for the month of September, '1896. The membership of the company for the latter partof the month was but thirty-five. This isin direct violation of 8‘“‘81’!1’" 1, section 1962, of the Political ode, and imperils the standingof the com- pany in the guard, not to speak of the molllhlr allowance of 8100 to the company; the legal- ity of the allowance of which ;or the time trom which the company 1s under the legally re- Qquired number i{s questionable, to say the least. Very respectfuily, R. L. PEELER, Assistant Adjutant-General. Simpson did not give out the reason for this letter at the tme it was received, but began at once to recruit his company. Last Thursday night the roil numpered fifty men and he applied for a notice for an election to fill the vacancy. Tae call was issued from headquarters for an election next Thursday evening, with Major Dorn in the chair. "He failed to get his draft, however, but in its place received word that no money would be paid on account of the company until there was a head to it, Lieutenant Simpson and Private Pickett have been openly in the field for the cap- taincy of the command, but to-day Pri- vate Pickett withdrew in favor of Simpson and anuounced himself a candidate for the lieutenant’s straps, and for which, it is now understood, he has the suEpon of Simpson’s following in return for his with- drawal from the contest with Lieutenant Simpson. ——— Ran Down a Wagon. OAKLAND, CaL., Nov. 14.—A car of the Haywards Electric road collided with a wagon at Elmhurst to-night. One of the occupants of the wagon named Antone Vega was seriously hurt and may not live, . SHE WINS MORE LAURELS Music Lovers Make a Better Showing at Yssterday's Zeisler Recital. They Begin to Realiz» That a Great Artiste Is in Their Midst. There was a better attendance at the Temple yesterday afternoon on the occa- sion of Mme. Bloomfield Zeisler’s third piano recital. Possibly S8an Francisco is beginning to realize that unless it bestirs itself, and gives art the ‘‘glad hand” in a somewhat less gingerly manner, there might be a possibility of its losing the ex- clusive reputation it fondly reserves for itself that of being a city of *‘art connols- seurs.”” Of course there 1s an exonerating contention not to be lost sight of. Mme. Zeisler did not chance to be the “fad,” consequently genuine unalloved art has been lost upon serried ranks of empty chairs instead of gladdening the heart of the traditional San Francisco ‘‘music lover.” The programme yesterday was as fol- lows: Gavotte and vay Sonata, op. 3 .Ramean Caprice (transcril Mazurka, op, Stude, op. 1, ade, op, 23. bestraum” (Lo “Midsum mer Night Liszt). . .. The pianist’s rendering of the Beethoven ‘‘Sonata” was warm and richly colored. The minuetto and trio were especially plelsillf, and for an encore she played the dainty little Minuet in £ flat major by the same composer. Under her n.anipulation the “Warum” by Schumann was a living, palpitating question. One almost wonders if the com- poser himself could have made the mean- ing plainer. The laughing, coquetish little Caprice of Paganini, transcribed by Schumann, was given with sparkle and “vivacity, and upon an enthusiastic demand Mme. Zeisler obligingly repeated it. The Chopin “Mazurka” was played with Characteristic brio, and the ‘‘left hand" Etude, Op. 1, No. 12, brought out her marvelous technical power more bril- liantly perhaps than any number on the programme. After an intensely sym- patbetic rendition of Chopin’s beautiful “Ballade” (Op. 23), madame delighted her auditors with the popular *“Minute Valse” (Chopin, Op. 64, No. 1), as an encore. Li:zt’s well-known ‘‘Liebestraum” (Love’s Dream) was played so tenderly and plaintively that its familiar theme assumed a new mganing to the ears of its many admirers. The recital was brought to a close with the wedding music from the “Midsummer Night's Dream.” This artiste possesses in a marked degree the faculty of painting a musical picture so that nct an idea is lost or the light and shadow biurred by a single false stroke, and the Mendel-sohn music brought out this gift vividly. To vociferous applause Mme. Zeisler re- sponded with a dainty little piece entitled “‘The Flatterer,”” by Cecile Chaminade. The last recital takes place to-morrow evening at Metropolitan Temple. e — Park Music To-Day. The following attractive programme has been prepared for the open-air concert in Golden Gate Park to-day: Marche Militaire, “Les Hirondelles de enne” cozis essusnen L. 8 “Le Lac des Fees”. “Sigurd”. . ... edding Marc Vi- abrt um's Gi uppe elected ott, G, Sohlott, Willlam Dabe- low and F.

ECONOMY THAT DID NOT SAVE High Statute Prices Charged for Bread and Sugar. Judge Morrow Found They Were Served Short on the Viking. UNCLE SAM A GOOD PROVIDER. He Legally Prescribes a Daily Diet for the Men Who Plow the Deep. Because five members of the crew of the trading schooner Viking, owned by the J. F. Cunningham Company, were not given their legal daily allowance of bread and sugar during a voyage of the vessel to and from the Fanning Islands, Judge Morrow of the United States District Court yester- day awarded the complainants a pe- cuniary recompense for what they had been deprived of, though they had mnot undergone any suffering through lack of such food. This award was made in ac- cordance with the statutes of the United States enacted for the protection of Jack Tar against the economical propensities of ship-owners, This js the first case of this kind that has been tried in this jurisdiction for many years. ltappears that Uncle Sam, in his solicitude for the merchant mariner, has by law prescribed the daily diet of those who plow the deep for a livelihood. Among the things which Jack must bave for his sustenance are a certain amount of bread, meat, tea, peas and sugar. In the case of the Viking five of the crew—Joseph Peterson, first mate; Wil- liam Bievers, cook; J. Johnson and R. Car- rooll, seamen, and Kores Sanowski, o Japanese boy, claimed that during part of the return voyage to San Francisco,shortly after the vessel had leit Kusaie, Caroline Isiands, they were puton a short allow- ance of bread, peas, meat and sugar, and were also stinted in the matter of lime juice and sugar to sweeten it and vinegar. According to the opinion rendered by Judge Morrow the testimony showed that the allowance of meatand peas was up to the legal requirement, but that the sup- ply of bread and sugar was inadequate. The captain claimed that the ordinary ship’s bread haa been substituted by a composition of one-third flour and two- thirds copa (dried cocoanut), but the Judge held that this was far from containing the same amount of nutriment that was de- rived from an equal weight of genuine bread. According to the statute, when the sup- ply of any one food runs short, owing to the carelessness of the captain of ‘he ves- sei_or the owners thereof, the crew are entitled to a sum not exceeding $1 per day during the period of the shortace when the supply falls below one-third of the legal requirements, and not exceeding 50 . cents a day when tue shortage exceeds one-haif of the prescribed amount. In the amount of bread, Judge Morrow found that the shortage exceeded two- thirds of the statute provision for forty- nine days, and fixed the compensation at 75 cents a day, or $183 75 for the five men. He also decided that for twenty-nine days the men received less than one-third o1 the lezal uup‘rly of sweetening material, and for this deprivation he awarded them 75 cents a day, or a gross amount of $108 75. In the matter of lime juice and the sugar to go with it, and vinegar, he expressed the opinion that these did not come under the food statute, but under that prescrib ing the medical precautions to be taken by thecaptain or owner of a vessel, and suggested that a criminal action, having « fine for a penalty, would lie for this offense. PLAYED PEDRO. George B. Flint, a Rancher From San Luis Obispo, Arrested for Grand Larceny. George B. Flint, rancher from San Lui: Obispo, was arrested last night by Detec- tives Whittaker and Reynolds on a war- rant charging him with grand larceny. The complaining witness is J. C. Castro, saloon-keeper, Montgomery and Bus! streets, who alleges that about a week agc Flint was in his saloon playing cards wit! another man. Flint came to him and saic he haa lost $300, and wantei the loan o the money. Castro demurred, saying i was steamer day, but Fiint having tol. him he had plenty of money in the bank. ard would pay him next day, he handec over the money and Fiint signed a note Castro waited for several days, and a. Flint did not show up he swore to & war rant for his arrest. Flint tells a different story. He said h: went to Castro’s saloon, and was invited by another man to join him in a game o })edro for 50 cents a game.
