4 THE SA ' FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1896. NOW THEY DARE SCORE THE DEAD Rev. Brown and His Cousin Talk About Sarah B. Cooper. An Enmity That Grew Out of the Assault of the Pastor on Ingersoll. Audacity of the Disgraced Divine in Commenting Upon the Career of a Christian Woman. CHICAGO, Irr., Dec. 12.—"During all $he time that Dr. Brown was pastor of the First Congregational Church in San Fran- cisco he was opposed by Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper,”’ said Rev. John T. Blanchard of 437 Leavitt street to-day. Rev. Mr. Blanch- ard is pastor of the Covenant Congrega- tional Church, on the West Side, and a cousin of Rev. C. 0. Brown, D.D., whose gensational trials on charges brought by women of his congregation attracted uni- versal attention about a 'year ago. He rises to defend Dr. Brown and deplores the reopening of the discussion in which his relative and brother-pastor was in- volved. In addition to this Mr. Blanchard gives a reason for the enmity of Mrs. Cooper, who with her daughter died from gas asphyiation in San Francisco yester- day morning. “As all but willful enemies of Dr. Brown know,” continued Rev. Mr. Blanchard, #‘the accusations brought against him in San Francizco were plain blackmail and he was proved not guilty, both by the civil courts and the ecclesiastical court which sat on the case an entire month. As to Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper, who was a prominent member of his church and be- came his opponent and accuser in the trial, I can give you an explanation of the whole matter. “Mrs. Cooper was a cousin of Colounel Robert Ingersoll, and though opposed to bim in religious matters always main- tained a warm friendship with him. Be- fore Dr. Brown went to San Francisco he was pastor of the First Congreg ational Church in Dubuque, Jowa. While there he attacked Colonel Ingersoll and made one of the best arguments against the agnostic lecturer that has ever been pub- lished. “Friends of Ingersoll in Dubuque sent him a copy of what had been said and he made an answer to the sermon, but would not come to Dubuque to debate with Dr. Brown. The latter, however, preached another sermon in rebuttal, and the whole matter continued for some time. Mrs. QOooper did not desire Dr. Brown for the pastor of her church on that account. She had no reason, of course, to oppose him at the start, and ostensibly was his friend. In reality, however, she was his enemy. This she showed at the trial, though she never gave any testimony and had no real evidence to give, but simply made a state- ient which was believed to be of a dam- sging character. **As to Mattie Overman being reformed, 1do not believe it. She reformed once be- fore and was taken into the home of Dr. Brown by him and his wife. The result was that she tried to blacken his repata= tion and ruin him, she being a member of a party which went into a conspiracy against him.” Rev. 0. 0. Brown lives at 930 West Polk street. When seen to-day he declined to say anything abeut Mrs. Cooper or her daughter. “It would be very much out of place, after their death, to dig up an old story,” saidhe. “I cherish no ill feeling against them, - Mrs. COooper was a remarkable woman and did great good in her work; but she made the mistake of her life when she attacked me, Itcaused her the loss of nearly all her friends. I received letters just recently saying that the people who were her best friends before that time had forbidden her coming to their house, and she was ganerally shunned.” SUICIDE OF AN ALLEGED PRINCESS Claiming to Be the Niece of a Polish Hero and Imagining Herself Rich, Josephine Jeroski Dies in Squalor. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 12.—Miss Josephine Jeroski, an alleged Polish princess and grand-niece of General Pulaski, committed suicide in her dingy little room, 44 Smith street, this city, some time between last Wednesday and this morning. Her death was discovered through the arrival of a letter addressed to her which the landlady, who had taken it from the postman, was unable to deliver because repeated knocks on Miss Jeroski's room door broughtno response. The door of the room was burst open and she was found dead on the bed, fully dressed with an empty bottle at her side, which had evidently contained laudanum. Neigh- bors and some charitable people had con- tributed to her wants, and she had plenty to eat and was cosy and warm in her small room, but other events combined to make ber despondent. Miss Jeroski frequently stated to thasze with whom she had intercourse that the United Btates Government had $2,000,000 belonging to her, and which had been deposited with it by the Russian Govern- ment to satisfy a claim for damages made by the descendants in Amerjca ot General Pulaski, and that the United States was trying to cheat her out of the money. She 'was thought to be mentally unbalanced. el Bl DIFFERENT IN ILLINOIS. Indiana’s Simplioity Not to Be Followed in the Inaugural. SPRINGFIELD, Iy, Dec. 11.—The ex- ample set by Governor-elect Mount of In- diana in sternly interaicting any tomfool- ery at his inaugural, and especially any purade of the military or an inaugural ball, will not be followed by the State Re- publican machine which has charge of tke preparations of the inauguration of Governor-clect Tanner early next month, It has previously been given out ‘that the inauguration was to be one of the most britliant and spectacular affairs in the history of the capital, and members of the executive committee say to-day that these plans will be adhered to. The military is to be brought from all parts of the Btate, the parade amd in- augural exercises will be attended with mp and ceremony; there will be fire- works at night and there is talk of a pri- vate banquet for the machine and its man- agement, at which the wine is to flow like ‘water. ® “Governor-elect Mount’'s = suggestion that it is in bad taste to invest inaugura- tiops with pomp and ceremony when the common people are struggling for a livell- hood, may be all rightin Indiana,” said one of those concerned to-day, *‘but so far as Illinois is concerned we propose to celebrate the incoming of a Republican successor to Governor Aligeld with a jollification only second to that which will oe witnessed in Washington on March 4 next,” Applications have already been made to the railroads for special rates to the capi- tal, and an invasion of at least half a million enthusiastic Republicans is looked for. S gy CHICAGO POOLROOMS RAIDED. Mad Scramble of Bsttors to Escape, but Over Three Hundred Prisoners Are Taken. CHICAGO, Iin, Dec. 12.—Every open poolroom in this city was raided by the volice this afternoon and the number of prisoners taken is larger than in any raxd made here in months. Warrants were taken out for the thirteen poolrooms which were recently opened here, but only five were found open when the police arrived. These were filled with patrons and more than three hundred prisoners were taken to the station: The keepers were arrested under State warrants, while the patrons will be arraigned as inmates. Bail was quickly obtained, and within three hours from the time the raid was begun all of the prisoners had been re- leased, It is said that the managers will refuse to close their docrs in order that a test case may be mdde. They claim that they are not operating in violation, although Chief Badenoch is acting with the advice of the law depart- ment and says that he will raid the places as fast as they are opened. Notification had been given the managers to close, but five ignored it. The raid this afternoon was filled with the usual incidents. Ten patrol wagons were brought into service and nearly twenty loads of prisoners were taken to the station. At Powers & O'Brien’s place on Madison street the appearance of the police caused intense excitement and about thirty' of the inmates escaped while the officers were guarding the doors, The poolrgom: is on the second floor and many escaped by means of the dummy elevator through which drinks are sent up from the saloon before the police dis- covered it. Many others escaped down fire escapes and several ran past the po- lice in the doorways. The other places raided were: Perry's, 119 Clark sireet; Leo Mainer's, 176 Clark street; H. W. Williams’, 98 Randolph street, and Bud White’s, 125 Dearborn street. Some claim that the poolrooms wers operated within the law. Insteaa of ac- cepting the bets the managers claim they acted as agents only. The police, however, are investigating and believe that the telegram alleged to have been sent to an'd from Milwaukee did not leave this city. They expect to find ah instru- ment somewhere in Chicago which was used to induce the people to believe that the telegrams were sent abroad and the place of agreement therefore was not Chicago. They have so far, however, been unsuccessful, and the managersclaim that the bets were actually consummated out- side of Chicago. On this ground they will tight the case. e HOKE SMITH SAVES HER. The Ex-Secretary of the Interior Success- fully Befends a Woman Accused of Robbery. ATLANTA, GaA., Dec. 12.—Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith appeared in a magistrate’s court as ‘counsel for Mrs. M."L. Henson, who was charged by Dr. F. T, Powell with robbing him of his pocket book. The doc- tor stated that Mrs. Henson had visited his office to get a prescription, As she was leaving he asked her ii she would not kiss him, and he declared that she did kiss him and at the same time pickea his pockets, getting a purse that contained $45. The defendant denied the statement and asserted that she ran out of the office when he became offensive. Mr. Smith in- vited the doctor, who weighs 225 pounds, to show the Justice how the woman picked his pockets. ‘[he doctor accepted the in- vitation, threw his arms about the neck of the ex-Secretary and they hugged each other tightly, but the docter did not reach Mr. Smith’s hip pocket nor could the ex- Secretary reach the doctor’s gun pocket, and the magistrate decided that it was physically impossible for Mrs. Hengon to have robbed the physician, even if she had hugged him, and dismissed her. T IS EL DARING BURGLAR CAUGHT. But They First Held as Prisoners Some of Their Pursuers. CORNING, Kaxs, Dec. 12— Deputy Sheriff Charles Andrews and City Marshal Bensing of this place, re-enforced by a posse of several hundred armed farmers of the locality, succeeded in effecting the capture of two burgiars, wanted for safe- blowing here. When the officers first attempted to ar- rest the men on the highway, there were a display of revolvers and a retreat to the timber. Two farm workers in a field next tried to capture the men, but after a pre- tended surrender they made prisoners of the farmers and compeliled the owner of the farm to drive all four to the house. Here the farmers’ bodies and that of an infant which one of the robbers snatched from a cradle were utilized as a protection against the gathering host of men and boys. The younger of the robbers became separated from his companion and was captured, while the other calmly ate a supper he had ordered prepared, with the three citizens and the baby as body-guard, Then he surrendered. e —— __ _To Attend @ Bryan Bangquet.

Shatters the Six-Day Mark by Wheeling Nearly Two Thou- sand Miles. Little Rice, the Wilkesbarre Boy, Gains S cond Place by His Heroic - Perseverance. NEW YORK, N. Y.. Dec. 12.—Twelve thousand people saw Teddy Hale, the hero of the six-day bicycle race at Manison- square Garden, cross the finish line to- night, & winner, with 1910 miles and eight laps to his credit. Hale broke all records from 101 miles up, and shattered the six-day record by 310 miles and seven laps. He set an ex- ample of what can be accomplished by pure grit and determination that will live in the memories of the thousands who shouted themselves hoarse in applauding the pluck which prompted the Irishman to stay on and finish his task even after nature herself had given out. At ten minutes before the hour set for ending the race only three of the fifteen men who had literally plowed their way since early morning in a semi-conscious state were left on the track. One was the winner and the others were Burns Pierce, the Canadian, who bails from Boston, and Orry Moore of Philadelphia. -Pierce and Moore were struggling slowly along, but the boy from the Emerald Isiand was bent over his handie bars sprinting for all he was worth, Again and again the crowd burst forth into uncon- trollable enthusiasm which was absoluteiy deafening when the hands of the garden clock reached the hour of 10, and the greatest six-day bicycle race ever seen was ended. .. The band began to play the Irish national air, but the music was drowned. The pandemonium increased when Hale wrapped himself in an American flag which was threwn to him from one of the boxes. The rest of the division having secured their places by 9:30 o’clock had retired, Some of them were physically unable to continue, while others haa had more than enough of the strain, mentally and bodily. Little Rice, the Wilkesbarre boy, who ran into second place, made a terrible effort to keep on. But he had done more than enough to show of what mettle he was made. When Dame Nature refused to give him any more support and he bad to he helped to his quarters, there was a reception accorded him which in volume and sincerity was but little behind the ovation accorded to Hale., Never did mortal man persevere under such circumstances as Rice did. Poorly hanaled and suffering from swolien and bruised knees, which he received be- fore the start, hestill kept on. Time after time mind and body gave way, but game- ness came to the rescue and he resumed the torture. His performance is even more worthy of praise than Hale’s, be- cause Rice began the struggle behind while Hale was battling in front. Rice nobly lived up to his name of ‘‘forced marches.”” Every one of the eleven placed men beat the previous record as did also Cassidy. The latrer with Gannon, Mec- Leod and Glick were each presented with $100 as a voluntary gift on the part of the management. After the race Hale was tendered an of- fer of a banquet by represeutatives of a prominent Irish society of this city. All of the contestants were weax and scarcely able to articulate, but with rest and care- ful handling will undoubtedly lose the ef- fects of the terrible strain of the past week. After the endurance contest was over there was a twenty-five mile professional scrateh race, which was won by Jay Eaton. Al Weining was second and Charles Car- ter third, Time, 1 hour 3 minutes and 35 3-5 seconds. The winning score at 10 o’clock, 142 hours (the previous record, 1600 miles 1 lap, made by Schock) was: Ed (Teddy) Hale, Ireland, winner, first prize, $1300, 1910 miles 8 laps. J. 8. Rice, Wilkesbarre, Pa., second prize, $800, 1882 miles 6 laps. Ned Reading, Omaha, Nebr., third prize, $500, 1855 miles 3 laps. Fred Forster, New York, fourth prize, 1829 miles 4 laps.

Judge Maguire has made a careful canvass of the Democratic side of the House and Barham and Hilborn have been mingling with the Republicans. Judge Maguire helieves that the refunding bill may be defeated in the House. He says that the sentiment on the Democratic side is strongly opposed to the measure, and that Hilborn and Barham report that they have interviewed many Congressmen on the Republican side, who have announced their disap- proval of any refunding scheme. With a1l deference to the opinion of Judee Maguire Barham, Hilborn and others: who are making California’s fight against the Pacific railroads’ refunding bill, it is the opinion of. others equally conversant with the situation that there never has been a time when the pros- pects for the bill’s passage were so favorable as now. this belief. F Senator Perkins shares WORK ON A TARIFF BILL. Ways and Means Commitiee Ready {to Begin Preparation of the Measure. WASHINGTON, D, C, Dec. 12.—Two hours were spent at the Capitol to-day by the members of the Ways and Means Committee discussing the basis of a new tariff bill and selecting the members who shall study the different features of the bill so that they may report from time to time as experts. It was also decided that the bill should be framed by the full com- mittee, and not built up from a series of reports made by different sub-committees, as bad formerly been the case. : ‘While no definite date was assigned it ‘was understood in a general way that hard work would be:in on Monday, the 28th inst. It was also decided that a resolu- tion should be reported to the House for a holiday adjournment from the 22d of De- cember until the 5th of January. % In the division of labor the woolen schedule will receive the particular atten- tion of the chairman, Dingley of Maine, and associated with him will be Russell of Connecticut, Grosvenor of Ohio and Dal- zell of Pennsylvania. Groavenor of Ohio and Payne of New York will give their attention to the sugar schedule which, it is expected, will prove a source of consider- able embarrassment, owing to the diffi- culty of fixing a rate of duty which will be satisfactory from a political and economic standpoint. Another feature of the bill—reciprocity in trade with countries from which we import certain articles that are produced to little if any extent in the United States —is expected to be another stumbling block, owing to the difficulty of securing a suitable treaty with Brazil, from which most of our coffee is purchased, and with Spain for reciprocity in Cuban products. The State Department has been advised that Brazil is unwilling to revive the old reciprocity treaty of 1890, and our strained relations with Spain will, 1t is believed, militate against a treaty with that coun- try. Venezuela refused to negotiate such a treaty six years ago and it is not ex- pected that her position has been changed during the interim. The fuller consideration of this reci- procity guestion will be left principally to Mr. Tawney of Minnesota and Mr. Hop- kins of Illinois, who, during the last ses- sion, prepared an exhaustive report on the subject, showing how greatly the United States had been benefited by the arrange- ment. It was agreed that careful attention should be givea to the - agricultural schedule, and this schedule would be largely in the hands of Dolliver of Iowa, Tawney of Minnesota, Johnson of North Dakota and Steel of Indiana. The interpal revenue features of the bill—liquor and tobacco—form the main subjects which will be left with Evans of Kentucky and Russell of Connecticut. Cottons and silks will receiye the attention of Dingley of Maine and Russell of Con- necticut. The iron and steel schedules will receive the attention of Dalzell of Pennsylvania, in view of the large manu- factories of that product in his State, ana Tawney, in view of the fact that he repre- sents the great iron ore regions of Min- nesota. No decision, not even of a tentative character, was reached regarding the ad- ministrative law, which will probably be prepated by the full committee. There was no division of opinion regarding a substitution of specific for ad valorem rates. The general discussion of the sub- ject showed that it is the committee’s intention, as was statsd in the Unitea Associated Presses yesterday, to framea conservative and by no means an extreme measure. In no case will the rates in the former McKinley law be exceeded, except where, as a member expressed it thisafter- noon, this was done by the Democrats “for good and sufficient reasons’” when the present tariff law was formed. On the other hand a reduction in duty will follow in each case where it is prac- ticable, keeping in mind only the neces- sity o{ protecting home industries with such additions to the revenue as will pre- vent a deficit in the National treasury. A full committee meeting, at which the Democratic members will be present, has been called for Monday next, at which the gurpose of the committee will be ont- lined and a definite understanding reached regarding the date when hearings will be- gin. Itis intended that the bill shall be completed not later than the 1st day of March, in order that it may be reported to the House the day that the extra session begins. —————— EX-QUEEN LILIUGKALANI'S VISIT. Its Object Is to Obtain From This Govern- ment a Demand for Indemnity From Dole’s Crowd. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—Cgmsar Celso Moreno, once prominent in. Ha- waiian politics, has received a letter from one of the leaders in the late revolt from which Queen Liliuokaliani was arrested and imprisoned. This letter throws some light on the Queen’s yisit to America. It speaks of the robbery of the crown lands which were hers by right and which would have given her competence. The Dole Government usurped her pension, which was given, says the letter, on the pretended promise of intervention by President Cleveland in Hawaiian affairs. The apparent purpose of this visit of the ex-Queen, as disclosed in the letter, is to demand indemnity sor the loss of the crown lands, as well as her regal author- ity, which, it is claimed, were taken away by a revolutionary movement instigated by the United States Consul and aided by United States marines from the oruiser Boston. : —_—— ELEOTROCUTIO.

CHICAGO, InL., Dec. 12.—Chief of Po- lice Badenoch to-day refused to recom- mend to the City Collector that a permit be issued to publicly electrocute the man- killing elephant Gypsy, and unless Mayor Swift, who is out of the city, takes favor- able action, the beast will not be killed as a show to pay the expenses of hisde- parture from nfe. W. H. Harris, the owner, is in a quandary as to what to do with ti:s monster, who is so dangerous that he is kept in solitary confinement and Do one dares to venture within reach of his trunk. Chief Bacenoch bases his re« fusal: because .no assurance is given that the animal would not break away before being killed and cause a fatal panic among the people.

The Board of Education Petitions for a Portion of the State Normal Grounds. SAN JOSE, CAL., Dec. 12.—A meeting of the City Board of Education was held this morning to discuss the matter of se- curing a part of the lands occupied by the State Normal School as a site for the new High School building. The following resolution was adopted and will be for- warded to Governor Budd: Resolved, That it be the unanimous sense of the Board of Education of the cil{ of San Jose that the é\roposed High 8chool building should be located on the State Normal School grounds; that the Board of Education snouid use alf honorable means to secure from the State of Califorma and the trustees of the State Nor- mal School & portion of sald Normal Schoo- grounds for the abova purpose; that if a porl tion can be secured that the Board of Educa- tion pledges itself to keep said sllt of ground, other than the portion occupied by the build- ing, in lawn and shrubbery aud in as good condition as other portions of said park. The Normal Square occupies twenty- eight acres, and, as but very little of it is used for school purposes, it is thought that the State will readily deed to the city a portion. The property was given to the State for school purposes. Anissue of $75,000 in bonds has already been voted for the school building. It is said that Governor Buddis in favor of granting the city the land desired, The local representatives in- the Leerislatura will introduce a bill favoring such action at the coming session.

Wild Scramble and a Flight Among the New York Con- sulate Attaches. Upon Being Disarmed and Arrested the Would-Be Assassin Recites Alleged Wrongs. | NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 12—A man made a futile attempt to kill the German Consul-General, August Feigel, at the corsulate, 2 Bowling Green, at 11 o’clock to-day. The man appeared at the con- sulate at 10:30 and asked to see the Con- sul, and when told that he could not see bhim went away. He returned half an hour later and was again denied admit- tance. He thereupon pushed his way through a swinging door at the counter and at- tempted to get into the private office of the Consul-General. One of the clerxs stopped him. Then the man drew a re- volver, fully loaded, from his overcoat pocket, just as Consul-General Feigel ap- peared at the door. Uttering a curse in German, the man leveled the pistol at the head of the Consul-General. Paul Falcke, the Vice-Consul, jumped toward the man, grabbed him by the shoulders and in the scrimmage the revolver fell to the floor. ‘The man fought like a madman to re- gain the pistol and finally succeeded. Then everybody save the infuriated man fled.
