16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY., DECEMBER 13, 1896. AIRAME COOK NOT WANTEL Too Honest a Referee to Suit Long Green and Lynch. MORE ABOUT THE BOX-| ING CONSPIRACY. 1 What Julian Will Show by a Score of Witnesses in Court To-Morrow. EVERY TANGLED THREAD WILL BE UNRAVELED. More About the Anempt‘cf the Ex- aminer’s Managing Editor to Buil- doze Baseball M n FEvidence is being accumulated every day proving beyond all doubt that Fitz- mons was robbed of the $10,000 purse a gang of sharpers. The testimony given by Trainers Smith and Allen and by William Abbott has been veritied in every detail as to the job by which it was made to appear that Sharkey was suffering from a foul blow, and as to the reasons why Hiram Cook, after having been visited by Manager Lynch on behalf of Sharkey, was not selected as referee, and why Long Green Lawrence’s man was accepted above all the rest on Long Green’s recommenda- tion. The taking of the depositions will be re- sumed to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock Judge Sanderson’s court, and those depo- sitions wili be coufined to such witnesses as may be non-residents and who may in- tend to leave the City. If General Barnes files his answer to-morrow in the suit brought by Fitzsimmons to recover the the trial wiil be proceeded with at e before the court and without a jury, case being one in equity and to be de- cided by the Judge. Judge Sanderson made a remark on the last day’s session to the effect that it was doubtful whether the case would be tried at all, and it is believed that he meant to imply that the matter was outside the jurisdiction of the court for the reason that prize-fighting is an offense under the | provisions of the Penal Code prohibiting “any prize fight or contention without the use of deadly weapons.” But this part of the code has been interpreted by some lawyers to mean a fight to a finish, and they argue that the Supervisors had a right to pass an ordinance allowing them to issue permits for “*boxing contests’’ for 2 limited number of rounds, the intention | of the State law being to put a stop to brutalizing and degrading exhibitions of two men bruised and bleeding and stag- gering with exhaustion for fifty or sixty rounds in the ring. Colonel Kowalsky said yesterday that | in order to determine that fact it would | be necessary for the court to hear evidence | anyhow. Manager Julian and Bob Fitzsimmons were in good spirits yesterday. They are confident that they can show up all the ramifications of the conspiracy. Julian is asking every one he meets why did not Lynch and Sharkey accept Hiram Cook when they found that he was a square man, and why did they seiect Long Green Lawrence’s bosom companion, a man known to be a gun fighter and believed to be able to take care of himself in case of a row over an unpopular or rank decision, as Barp’s decision was? But up to the present time he has not received a satis factory answer. The manner in which General Barnes has conducted the case thus far is univer- sally conmended. He has not attempted to take advantage of technicalities, and seems to be actuated by & desire i0o getat all the facts in. the interest of honest sport.. 1f he continuesin this course the matter can be decided before the end of this week and the blame can be placed where it belongs. In future no glove contest can take place in this City before a fake cluband a bad man for a referee. The honest sport- ing element will give no countenance to such aftairs, while legitimate clubs before which such contests take place will insist that the referee shall be a man of good re- pute and acceptable to them. Long Green and his man have dealta blow to honest sport in San Francisco from which it will be difficult to recover. The evideuce to be presented 10 the court to-morrow will throw light upon the reason why Sharkey was kept an hour in the dressing-room in the Pavilion after the fight and why Lynch refused to admit any doctors or reporters to examine the pugilist. It isnatural to suppose that if Sharkey had received a foul blow both he and Lynch would have been only too willing to have let the whole world ex- amine the injured fighter in order that there might not be the slightest doubt or suspicion in the matter. Explanation will be offered on behalf of Fitzsimmons as to the motives which prompted Lynch to order Trainers Smith and Allen out of Sharkey’s room when Dr. Lee was about to attend the pugilist and also as to the reason why Sharkey yelled with pain a few moments later. It will be shown also on the testimonvy D NEW TO-DAY. ristmas -- Gifts at” L Ny 227 POST ST 217 BUSH ST of credible witnesses that on the evening of the fight only a few hours before the men stepped into the ring friends of the swindlers and conspirators who put in Wyatt Earp of the Examiner as referee were given the tip that Sharkey would be awarded the purse, and that on ths strength of this tip several persons who had bet on Fitzsimmons went to Corbett’s poolrooms and hedged on Sharkey. e e THREATS BY LONG GREEN. Manager Aschner Refused to Make a Retraction of the Truth. Another incident has been unearthed which exposes the disreputable character of the Examiner and the bulldozing, threatening tactics resorted to by its man- aging editor, “Long Green” Lawrence, when some truths, outside of prize-fights and referees, comes to the surface which reveals its dishonorable methods. It is baseball this time—the late tourna- ment in which the Pacific Coast champion- ship was won by the Los Angeles Tuits- Lyons, despite all Long Green and the Examiner could do to prevent. December 8 THE CALL published a dis- patch from Los Angeles telling of the very unfair treatment the Tufts-Lyons had received from the Examiner, which showed prejudice in favor of the Alameda Aleris or Nevada Stars winning the pen- nant. It related how the team and all its friends south of Tehachapi returned home deeply, indignant at the Examiner, and uttering imprecations upon it. The Ex- aminer arbitrarily ruled out the crack pitcher of the Tuits-Lyons, after the team had complied with all the rules stipulated by the filth-loving journal, and when the team’s friends called at the editorial de- partment and remonstrated they were answered next day with additional in- sults. At a banquet given in honor of the win- ning team at a Los Angeles rastaurant these facts were stated, and the Examiner was duly “roasted’” for its unfair and partial course. Morris R. Aschner, connected -with the Los Angeles Herald, is now manager of the Tufts-Lyons. He arrived in this City last Wednesday, and that night bappened to meet Long Green Lawrence about 8 o’clock on Market street in front of the Paiace Hotel. Long Green asked Manager Morris R. Aschner if he had seen the article in THE CaLr. Manager Aschner repliec that he had. The bulldozing and threatening meth- ods used by the suggester of referees for crooked prize-fights to secure a repudia- tion of the article and a statement 1o the contrary are best told by’ Mr. Aschner. He said yesterday: ‘I met Mr. Lawrence in front of a store on Market street, in the Palace Hotel block, about 8 o’clock (I can tell you the exact time, it was 8:20) night before last. He wanted me to make or write a retrac- tion of the treatment the team had re- ceived from the Examiner and send it to bim for publication. I declined to do it. 1 was not manager of the team at that time, but the members of the team nearly every one of them—and I can give the names—told me how Harvey had been ruled out of the game and of other unfair treatment from the Examiner. I believe them; I may sav I know it is so. “Mr. Lawrence said,” Mr. Aschner con- tinued, ‘‘that if I did not do that he would drop the team altogether, intimating that we would get the worst of it. 1 told him todrop us if he wanted to. We are not under the patronage of the Examiner any more, or Tufts-Lyons, for that matter. I construed what he said to me as a threat. 1 offered to bet Mr. Lawrence $100 that Harvey, the pitcher—he was about the only pitcher we had—was under 18 years of age at the time he was ruled out. Mr. Lawrence did not bet. In fact he said: ‘T know it. We had made up our minds to rule him out, and he had to go.” Now, what do you think of that?” SUE e GANS AND ROCHETTE. With Ward and Anthony They WIll Entertain Admirers of Boxing Next Monday Evening. The New OcciGental Club has prepared a series of boxing contests to take place at Woodward’s Pavilion next Monday even- ing, that will attract considerable atten- tion in local sportdom. There are two star events—the-first be- tween Jimmy Anthony, the champion bantam-weight of Australia, and Jack Ward, of high repute in Eastern boxing circles, and the second between Joe Gans and Charley Rochette. Gans was brought to this city to be matched with Dal Haw- kins, but owing to illness of the latter the club found it necessary to substitute Ro- chette. Both Gans ana We-d are in training at Alameda and reported to be in first-class condition. Rochette is in superb trim and his backers are confident that he will win. Little Jimmy Anthoay is being brought into excellent fettle by old Barney Farley, *‘the professor.’” The two star events will both be of ten rounds’ duration. There will be a ‘‘cur- tain-raiser’’ in a six-round bout between one of *‘Professor’” Farley’s pets and in all probability Jim Brown. Tickets are now on sale at Mitchell’s and Harry Cor- bett’s, the prices being $1, $2 and $2 50, ac- cording to location of seats, “Young Mitchell” emphasizes the fact that these contests will be fair dealsand that their being Earped is out of the ques- tion. S S LOOKED CROOKED. A Los Angeles Expert’s Opinion of the Fight. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Dec. 12.—Dr. J. D. Kennedy, ex-president of the athietic club of this city, and a gentleman of the highest standing in this community, was asked this afternoon what he thought of Bharkey’s claim of a foul in his late fight with Fitzsimmons, Dr. Kennedy’s reply was: “What do I think of the Fitzsimmons- Sharkey controversy? Well, I gave my opinion a week before the contest, and that was that the issue depended greatly on the selection of a competent refer ee and 1 have had no reason to change my mind. “To me it looks crooked, and I think any fair-minded man who knows any- thing about boxing will agree with me that Fitzsimmons had the contest weil in hand, and was an unquestionable winner when the cry of ‘foul’ arose; and that Fitzsimmons, with the natural advantage of height and reach, his past ring record, his superiority as a boxer, and the fact that he had his man going, would delib- erately joul him as cluimed is simply an absurdity, and evidence is being produced that proves that I am right. I think one or two men clubs have had their funeral, and that in the future these contests will be controlled by responsible organizations incorporated under State laws. You must consider the public, as they support and encourage these exhibi- tions, and the public is tired of supnorting these contests that savor of a job.” ——® The Queen’s Devotions.

More People Will Be Fed Here Than at Any Previous Holiday. An Encouraging Report of the Social Work of the Army for the Past Year. The Satvation Army of this City will give a great Christmas dinner for the benefit of the poor and needy. The place where the good things will be provided for those who have not often had the opportunity to eat a good dinner dur- ing 1896 has not yet been selected, but the leaders of the army will choose the location in a few days. It will be central and commodious. “We are meeting with good encourage- ment everywhere,” said the captain in charge yesterday, “and people of means are beginning to see that our work does a great deal of good, that our charity reaches the really needy. For this reason we are trusted and our work encouraged. ‘We still need aid, however, and any who desire to tontribute may send us money, addressing it to our headquarters, 1139 Market street.” In the past the Salvation Army have probably done more for the poor here than any other society, and they are ambitious to make their dinner this year the biggest success they have ever had. All the lien- tenants and their assistants are busy, working throughout the City, asking here and there for the mites that people can afford. Thousands of letters have been sent to the army’s friendsand to the publicat large. The letter is a trpical one, and shows not only what the army intends to do Christmas, but what it has been doing for the year: 8AN FraNcIsCo, Cal., Dec. 10, 1896. Dear Friend—We beg 1o submit herewith a summary of the work accomplishied by the so- cial branch of the Salvatiou Army for the year ending November 30, 1896. We also wish to outline to you our plans for the coming year. First—We have just started & co-operative farm for the benefit of men discharged from prison and for young men who have been so unfortunate as to fall into the hands of the police, where they can be sent in lieu of being sent to jail. At the farm they work to support themselves and make the place seli-supporting, as the army’s idea is that every man should support himsell. Second — We are endeavoring to found e hospital where the self-respecting poor can have first-class medical treatmentand nursing at such rates as the working people can afford, By this means we know that many will be pre- vented from becoming chronic invalids or peupers. Third—We are arranging to give our annual Christmas dinner to poor men, women and children, so that Christmas may become a day of gladness to hundreds who would otherwise be left desolate; we therefore earnestiy solicit your help in the carrying out of thesé plans. Inclosed please find a card on which you can siate to what object you want your contribue tion applied. When coilectors call please ask for their authority and take a receipt for your gift. Praying that God will biess you and yours according to the riches of his grace, believe me to remain yours to help the hopeless, J. KEPPEL, Brigadier, Joe R. McFEE, Social Secretary.

J. Keppe! has- just issued the following address apropos of the dinner now under preparation: Christmas has been a day of rejoicing ever since that all-impor.ant event when the angels sang, ‘Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a savior, which is Christ, the Lord.” Ever since that time, in all Christian coun- tries, men havelaid aside more or less ranks and creeds on a common platform. And those who have been fortunate enough to secure a iool portion,of the good things of .this world ave met their less fortunate brethren and en- deavored to make them forgeg for that day at least their misfortunes. = This has been done in various countries ac- cording to their customs and accompanying circumstances, but has always. taken on more orless the character of administering to the material comforts of those participating. To the children' of the rich, through St. Nicholas, Christmas means a day which would bring to them the riches and good things they had long anticipated. On the other hana, to the children of the poor St. Nicholas is known by name only, except as some warm-hearted LRI IR T R I IR R L R R R LA TS ; SOTR: Mt Noerary. THE SALVATION ARMY. ! friend ocedsionally sends in tne thing they most need. Often it takes but little to make Christmas a red-letter day in the life of one of these unfortunates. I remember the case of & lady, who had spent her former Christmas days mid all the sumptuousness of the ducal palace. The next was spent on a barren rock, with no worldly comforts, and with no shelter to protect her from the furies of the storm. Yet through a single act gt kinaness it was made the happiest of her lifé. It was brought about by the presentation of a single albatross egg, the only remaining one ‘| ofastore laid by to be used s a delicacy in the event of sickness. In the history of the Salvation Army many such incidents” have taken place where some very insignificant thing has brought greltfloy into the life of some needy one. This has been especially the case in San Franclsco where the army has won the name of almoners for the rich. When this distinction was first conferred upon them in San Krancisco the public would not believe their declaration that a thousand poor men would be in need of a Christmas dinner. Yet when dinner was served twelve hundred sat down to it, and to their utter amazement three sons of million- aires were pointed out to them, and muny others who had been cradled in the lap of luxury. Some of these men who ate this din- ner declared it was the first warm meal they had exten for months. The next Christmas 2200 men were enter- tained, and a permancnt food and shelter depot opened where men could get & good meal or bed for 5 cents. The following Christmas was & monster demonstratiou, 3300 men, women and chil- dren being provided for, and 2600 children found themselves reveling in all the wealth of toys, candies and other good things; and for. four months afterward a Christmas tree was provided that furnished the poor and meedy with clothes, food and fuel. Each succeeding Christmas has found the Salvation Army feeding thousands of men, women and children, and adding some perma- nent feature for the welfare of the poor of this City, 80 that now the Salvation Army has a men’s shelter, a women’s shelter, a children’s home and a farm or home for ex-convicts. It is very probable 1hat the dinner this year will excel any ever given and that more people will be fed by the Army on that day than ever before in this City. TERRILL'S CONTEST. He Says He Defeated Sidney Hall for State Senator. John G. Terrill has filed a contest to the election of Sidney Hall to the office of Stats Senator for the Twenty-third Sena- torial District. The allezations of the complaint are to the effect that there were many irregulari- ties in the receiving and canvassing of votes throughout the district. It is set forth that the election officers and clerks were guilty of misconduct in mark- ing ballots, so that secrecy was destroyed, in counting Terrill’s votes for Hall, in becoming intoxicated to such an extent that they were unable to properly perform their duties, and in doing many other things of like character. According to the figures submitted by Mr. Terrill he ought to be elected by 1000 plurality. Testimony in the case will be heard by Justices of the Peace Barry and Cook. Another contest to Mr. Hall's right to the seatfor the Twenty-third Senatorial District is already pending, the plaintiff in that case being M. J. Welch, in which the same Justices will take testimony for theinformation of the State Senate, where the matter must be at last decided. —— A MOVABLE -BEDROOM. William Gould Asks Damages for a Fall F¥rom a Merced Kiver Bridge. The first suit against the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad, Company .for personal injuries has been filed in this City. William Gould asks for $20,000 damages, and for cause of action alleges that on the 14th of last May he went into a sleeping-car or caboose supplied by the company for the use of employes near the Merced River and that after he had re- tired the caboose was run out on a bridge over the river without his knowledge; that during the night he started from the car to get a pail of water and not knowing of the change of the caboose stepped from the caboose to the ground below, a dis- tance of forty feet. He fears that the acci- dent has incapacitated him for work and be demands $20,000 as compensation. More Unfortunate Children.

The Disease Gained Such a Hold That All Remedies Were Useless. Dr. Brune Used the Antitoxic Treat- ment Without Avail—He Died in Great Agony, ¢ Bernhard F. Fisher, a plumber, who lived at 1163 Mission street, died yesterday morning of lockjaw contracted in a most remarkable manner. He was employed to do some plumbing work in Chinatown early last week, and while connecting some vipe that had previonsly been used, scratched his right hand slightly. Such occurrences were nothing new to him, and he paid little attention to the wound. The next day the scratch was slightly inflamed, but he kept at work and felt no particularly bad results until last ‘Wednesday, when his neck began to stiffen and his jaws to swell, ana he was com- pelled to remain at home. Dr. A. E. Brune of 1104 Market street, was called on Friday to see him, and at once pronounced it a case of tetanus, whicn is the scientific name for lockjaw. Everything posible was done for the unfortunate man, but the bacilli of the terrible disease had worked thoroughly into nis system and he died yesterday in terrible agony. Dr. Brune said last evening that it was one of the most remarkable cases that had ever come under his observation. “Tetanus from any cause is an uncom- mon disease,” he continued, “‘but this is even more extraordinary. ‘‘As a usual thing, tetanus, which is al- most invariably fatal, is contracted from & wound in the foot. The germs of the disease are found, in a- large majority of instances, in the ground, and usunally get into the system by the patient stepping on a rusty nail that has been lying long in contact with the earth. It is prevalentin the East Indies, where many children who are allowed to play about when very young contract it. “In Fisher's case, however, it came from an insienificant wound in the hand and had obtained such a hold on him that there was no remedy that would check it. His jaws were set when I first saw him. lapuplied the anti-toxic treatment for tet- anus as sgon as I saw from the swellings of his jaws that it was a true case of lock- jaw, but there was no apparent relief and hedied. ““This is the first case that has come under my notice of a man dying from tetanus caused by so slight a wound.” WIRT SEEKS A MANDATE To Compel the Governor to Name Two Police Commissioners. N. 8. Wirt, an attorney, seeks to reopen the question concerning the power of the Governor to remove the Board of Police Commissioners from office. This question was supposed to have been settled by the Supreme Court in the contest between Menzies and Gunst, but Mr. Wirt has peti- tioned the Supreme Court for a writ of mandate, directed against Governor Budd, to bring about the removal of Police Com- missioners Alyord and Tobin, and the ap- pointment by the Governor of two others to fill the vacancies thus to be occasioned. In his petition Mr. Wirt alleges that William Alyord and Robert J. Tobin were appointed as Police Commissioners April 9, 1878, by the Judges of the Fourth, Twelfth and Fifteentb Judicial districts; that they failed to take oath or qualify after their appointments within the time required by law, and did not, in fact, qualify until May 5, 1835; that they held office without ftitle and were usurpers; that they were appointed Police Commis- sioners by Governor Waterman July 11, 1890, for the term of four years, and that they qualified July 17, 1890; but after their terms had expired they were not appointed and the offices have been vacant since July 11, 1894. For these reasons a writ of man- date is asked for commanding Governor Budd “to appoint two reputable citizens to fill the vacancy in the office now occu- pied and unlawiuily beld by said Alvord and Tobin.” ———————— Dr, €. W. Hibbard Injured. Dr. C. W. Hibbard met with an unfortunate accident Friday night. He had been attend- ing the horse show, and going home boarded a Sutter-street car. At the intersection of Polk and Sutier streets the car struck the “bumper,” and Dr. Hiboard, who was sitting on the rear seat of the dummy, was thrown backward with sufficient force to break his coilarbone. He was assisted home by tne company’s physician, and the bone set with the assistance of Drs. Satter and Taylor. None of.the other passengers were injured. e = PIAN0 and banquet lamps, silk shades and onyx tables, splendid presents. Sanborn, Vail & Co. * NEW TO-DAY. INDUCEMENTS EXTRAORDINARY S A TS J.
