14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1896. LAST HOPE OF LONG GREEN It Depends Upon the De- cision of Judge San- derson. WAS IT A PRIZE-FIGHT ? The Civic Federation Will Put on the Gloves Before the Grand Jury. WILL DEMAND INDICTMENTS.' L J. Truman of the Federation Pro- nounces the Affair a Disgrace to the State, H. L. Kowalsky, representing the Fitz- eimmons end of the $10,000 controversy, after consultation yesterday with Attor- ney David Freiaenrich, decided that no deposition would be taken to-day when the case is called in Judge Sanderson’s court. W. H. L. Barnes will present his motion to dissolve the 1njunction against the pay- ment of the $10,000 check, and will base the motion on the ground that the affair | in which Sharkey and Fitzsimmons en- gaged at the Pavilion on the night of December 2, was a prize-fight, pure and | simple, contrary to the laws of this State, making it a felony as agaiust all partici- pantsin it. “Barnes’ stand is untenable,” stated Attorney Kowalsky yesterday. ‘‘A prize- | fight and a glove contest are two distinct | things. The former is prohibited by law | and would never have been permitted by | the authorities. On the other hand, a boxing contest, such as we eclaim took place, is sanctioned by law, and was con- ducted under proper supervision and with the consent of the Supervisors and the | police. ! “The whole matter is quite plain to me,” | added Mr. Kowalsky, “General Barnes is | interested only in the civil end of the case, | and no doubt on a contingent fee. He is| after that $10,000, and will do all in his | power to reach it regardless of subsequent disagreeable possibilities. rinstance, say the court should dis- 80! the injunction, taking the grouna that it bas no jurisdiction in settling con- troversies emanating from prize fighting or other felonions engagements between parties, see in what a position all con- | cerned will be placed. Tney will virtually be branded by the court as baving com- mitted a felony, and the result may be disastrous, not only to Barnes’ clients, but to all the people who have had anything to do with the unforturate affair.” I. J. Truman of the Civic Federation had a_ little sometning to say yesterday regarding the proceedings in Judge San- derson’s court. “I am astonished,” he said, with con- | siderable emphasis, “that the court did not throw out the whole matter. It wasa perfect disgrace to allow the fight and it 1s worse now that our courts shouid be called upon to settle the differences arising from such illegal proceedings.” “QOur body will not meet until Monday, when we will unquestionabiy discuss this prize-fight business. I suppose that any action we may take will be more or less vere according to the action or decision of Judge Sanderson. “If it be shown that a felony was com- committed I believe prosecution should follow. If the affair was not a prize-fight, but was simply a glove contest, I believe some effort shoald be made to put a stop such engagements in this City.” | T T Sharkey Is Sued. J. J. Rauer, assignee of Billy Smith, one of Sharkey’s trainers, has brought suit against the latter to recover $900 for services rendered. The claim is made | that when Sharkey was praparing for his meeting with Fitzsimmons Smith wasin constant attendance upon him and ren- dered services to the vaiue of $1000, only $100 of which he had received. BT AT Another Suit Against Sharkey. J. J. Rauer, as the assignee of George Allen, one of the pugilists who trained Sharkey for his fight with Fitzsimmons, has begun suit against thesailor pug. The complaint alleges that Allen expenaed much time and energy in fitting the mariner for the battle with the Cornish- man, and that he received but little recompense therefor. He demands that he be paid $299 additional for his services. Rauer has still further tied up the famous $10,000 certificate of deposit by placing garnishments in the suit on the Anglo- California Bank, where the money is on deposit, and on one Dowdelle, who is sup, posed to have in his posseszion the cer tificate. LIGHTWEIGHT PUGILISTS. Gans and Hawkins Will Be Matched After They Have Finished Talking. Jim Neil, the ex-manager and trainer of fisticuffs that be is the master of Haw- kins or any other fighter of his class resi- dent of this coast 1n a limited contest or a “go” to a finish. Unless some of the clubs guaranteed Gans another mateh in this City it is only reasonable to presume that he would not dally on this coast for any length of time. Hawkins will sell at a very small figure in case he is matched against the Eastern crackerjack, which he certainly will be after the managers have finished their little all-in-the-play discussion over a few pounds’ weight. VERY BAD SEWERAGE. How Contractors Are Favored and the Law Dodged at the City and County Hospital. On September 28 last the sum of $10,000 was appropriated by the Board of Super- visors for repairs to the City and County Hospital. It was well known at that tinie that the hospital was sadly in need of a new sewerage system above all other re- pairs of urgent necessity. Doctors and nurses were being laid up with matarial fever for lack of it. s When the money was appropriated it was then believed that contracts for the work would be let without delay, as mat- ters had reached such a critical stage that loss of time was regarded as dangerous. To follow out this method, hawever, would not give general satisfaction to those in control of the proposed repairs. The consolidation act provides that all City work amounting to $300 or over shall be awarded by .contract to the lowest re- spousible bidder in open competition. This is easily avoided by letting out large contracts, in the aggregate,reaching into the thousands, and paying for the work in bills of less than $50u each. The contracts wou!d not appear as such, how- ever, and consequently there 13 no power to stop the system of paving in small sums. Notixing was heard of the work at the City and County Hospital until James J. Flynn presented his demand to the clerk of the Bo: of Supervisors for $480 for whitewashing. This was paid a month ago. On December 4 Flynn presented another demand for kalsomining five wards and three operating-rooms, $325. { This latter bill was passed by the Board of Supervisors at Monday’s session and has now gone on its way toward the Treasurer. . With it went other bills of a_simila nature. The H. G. Layng Maeachine ‘Works had one in for $425 for ‘‘renewal of steamn pipes covered cased with valves and fittings connecting with boiler and tanks.” George I. Drew sent in his bill for $218 50 for additionsto the hospital morgue and the pantry of officers’ dining-room. His bill for the month of November amounted to $144 50, for alterations in ward O and for labor. E. Alexander’s bill, dated December 3, for material for sewers and tor labor, was $38945; his bill dared December 8, for similar items, was $44765. John T. Burns‘ had two bills dated Novem be! for repairing a water tank, $55, and shingling a stable roof, $36. There were other bilis exceeding the $5(0 in the aggregate from the Swift Lumber Company for lumber supplied the hospi- tal for repairs; and they alsu went through. In this way the $10,000 appropriated is being eaten up, anda the only check upon the bills is the signature of Dr. Stahie, superintendent of the bosnital, under the printed word ‘‘correct.”* On signature the Hospital Committee of the Supervisors have signed and passed the bills, which then went through the board without a question. RICH AT ROSSLAND. Arrival of L. N. Payton, One of the Owners of the Le Koi. Among the arrivals at the Palace yester- day was L. N. Peyton, one of the bonanza kings of Trail Creek, who is en route to his winter home in Santa Barbara to pass the holidays with his family. Mr. Peyton is one of the owners of the famous Le Roi gold mine at Rossland, a property shipping, as he says, 150 tons of ore daily, the average of the ore being abont $40 per ton. One of Mr. Peyton’s partners is ex-Judge George Turner of Spokane, a leading can- didate for the United States.” The mine is stocked for $500,0€0, the par value of the shares being §5 each. But the real value of the shares now is about $8. Mr. Peyton’s home has been at Spokane for seven or eight years. All this time he has been engaged in mining. Two or three years ago he went into Trail Creek, and as a result has had great success. ““We have paid $250,000 in dividends al- ready,” said Mr. Peyton to THE Caryn representative yesterday, “‘and it will go right along. We are putting in a new plant of machinery now, and have sunk a new shaft. Assoon as we get things in shape, instead of shipping 150 tons a day we will ship 300 or 400 tons. “Our ore at present goes to four smel- ters—to Tacoma, Everett, East Helena and to the British Columbia smelter at Trail. The mine is now 500 feet deep by the old workings. The main shaft or in- cline started atan angle of about 35 de- grees, but we straightened it to 50, then to 70,and it is now nearly perpendicular. Tne new shaft is straight. “We are putting in forty drill com- pressors and a new hoist. The ore, which averages about $40 a ton in gold, carries also from 3 to 5 per cent of copper and four or five ounces of silver. The owners with me are George Turner, Colonel Turner, his brother, W. M. Ridpath and L. F. Williams. ‘‘Rossland, which is now but two and a half years old, has 7000 inbabitants and is very prosperous. The Spokaneand North- ern Railroad will be completed there this week. We have no labor strikes there, and the town is free from rough charac- ters, including vprize-fighters. The judges and constables there are all appointed, and it seems to work very well. “Spokane is very prosperous. Over $1,000,000 was paid intc that town in divi- Dal Hawkins, is anxious to match his vrotege against Gans, the colored lignt- weight, of Baltimore, under the same con- ditions the pugilists fought in the East. Al Herford, the manager of Gans, says that his charge cannot possibly reduce to the weight demanded by Hawkins’ man- ager, which is 128 pounds. Herford states that Gans was weak when he faced his opponent the last time they met and that he journeyed to this City under the im- pression that the contest here would be fought at catchweights. It is safe to pre- dict that a match wiill be consummated and that the pugilists will agree upon fighting at 130 pounds. It is also safe to say that Gans will prove to the lovers of NEW TO-DAY. A SHAMP0O dends last year from the Slocan, Ccear d’Alene and West Kootenai districts.”” Mr. Peyton will return to the north some tume in January. BUATTITIO L S M Dr. Merritt’s Millions. . United Stetes Circuit Judge McKenna has granted the appeal of James P.and Harry Merritt, who are fighting the trustees of the Bowdoin College. They are nephews of the late Dr. Merritt of Oakland. The latter left his estate to the late Mrs. Garcelon, who willed about one million dollars to the Bow- doin College. The nephews contested the will of Dr. Merritt on the ground that it was un- reasonab.e, and they contested in the United States Circuit Court the carrying out of the bequest of Mrs. Garcelon for the same reson. Judge Hawley of the United States Circuit Court held that the will was perfectly legal and it 1s from this decision thai it is desired to appeal. The c¢ase will go now 10 the United States Supreme Court.

Golden Gate, Temescal and Clare- mont Interested in the Movement. George P. Morrow Explains the Rea- sons Why the Change Must Be Made. The important movement to have Gol- den Gate, Temescal and Claremont, three pretty suburbs of Oakland, incorporated into the larger city is on foot among the heavier property-owners of the three places named. “Greater Oakland !” is the cry of those most interested, and a determined effort is to be made at the next municipal elec- tion across the bay to have t}xe project carried through. Golden Gate, Temescal and Claremont have grown until they bave become an important ‘factor in the development of the eastern shore of the bay, and yet to- day they are backward in the way of municipal government and protection as they were five years ago. Emeryville, which is not more ad- vanced in the way of population and im- provements than the towns named, has been incorporated as a separate city and has its own municipal government and functions. Yet Golden Gate, Claremont and Temescal have not the semblance of government, and even police protection, though little needed, is denied them. This state of affairs has led to the moye- ment looking toward ‘‘Greater Oakland,’” and its leaders believe that it will be suc- cessful. A meeting of property-owners was held in the office of George P. Morrow, the well-known hay and grain man, yester- day, at which C. E. Kuickerbocker, C. A. Bon and others were present, It was decided to begin operations at once, and to raise funds to carry on the fight. In speaking of the matter yester- day Mr. Morrow said: “Two years ago Mr. Knickerbocker took hola of a movement to annex Clsremont, Temescal and Golden Gate to Oakland, but apathy and a lack of appreciation of the benefits to be derived thereby brought about defeat at the election, although Oakland’s citizens voted for the propo- sition. Since then a marked change of sentiment has manifested itseif in the out- lying districts, and to-day there is hardly a question but what another election on slightly different lines would result in a ‘Greater Oakland,” more especiully as little Emeryville has now necom’e a ‘real city.’ *‘It is high time the Rip Van Winkie city across the bay awoke and realized the Ifact that the districts in question are as much a part of Oakland itself, and it is of even moré importance for the people of these smaller burgs to appreciate the fact that if they are to grow in importance, to have sewers, to have sidewalks, to have increased school facilities, in brief, to be- come metropolitan, they must have muani- cipal government, and just so sure as ripe apples drop from a tree 1o the ground, just s sure and natural is it that these suburbs must and will fallinto the lap of Oakland.” MARRIED IN PRISON. Thomas Tierney, a Longshoreman From Crockett, Wedded to Cassle Kelly. Thomas Tierney, a longshoreman trom Crockett, was arrested yesterday morning at 111}4 Minna street by Policeman Hol- land and taken to the Harbor station, where a charge of beirayal, under promise of marriage, was booked against him. The complaining witness was Cassie Keliy, a young woman, 22 years of age, living in Crockett. Tierney, who is 29 years of age, came to this City about a week ago and tbe girl followed him. She discovered where he was living and noti- fied Constable Lee of Crockett. who reached the City Tuesday night and asked the help of the harbor police in arresting Tierney. Tierney was removed to the City Prison and, after Constable Lee had a talk with him, he agreed to marry the girl. Lee took her to the prison and, after a license had been procured, Justice of the Peace Kerrigan performed the marriage cere- mony. Mrs. Tierney remained beside her husband till an order for his release was procured and the two left the prison to- gether. s READY FOR THE PARADE.

The Board of Health, at a meeting held vesterday, declarea the Japanese ports of Yokohama and Kobe, from which revorts of the prevalence of smallpox have re- cently been received, to be infected, The following resolutions covering the matter were passed: Resolved, That the Japanese ports of Yoko- hama and Kobe are hereby declared infected, and that the Quarantine Officer of the Port of San Francisco 1s hereby directed to remand 1o the United States quarantine station at An- gel Island for proper disinfection ail passen- gers and blf;l;e coming from these ports. This resolution shall be so construed as to apply to passengers from Japan coming over the Canadian Pacific steamship line via Vic- toria, B, C., as well as to those who come di- g!li:ly to this port by the 0. & O.and P. M. S. nes. Dr. Hart called attention to the fact that for eighteen months past complaints had | been eontinually coming to the board about the unsanitary condition of the City and County Hospital. He made the fol- lowing motion in reference to the matter: That the Board of Supervisors or the Legis- lature, whichever is the proper authority, be urged atonce to proceed with the construc- tion of a new hospital and the removal of the present charity nospital in this City. It was decided to attend the meeting of the National Association of Master Plumbers, which takes place on Friaay next, in a body. The Milk and Food Insvector of the board recommended that the permit of the Pioneer Dairy Company be revr?lkeu be- cause of infractions of the milk ordinance. The secretary was ordered ¥o communi- cate with the owners of the dhiry and ask them to appear and show cause why the permit shall not be revoked. The complaint of the Mission Five-Mile Improvement Club against the sanitary condition of the Monroe Primary School was referred to the Health officer, who was ordered to inspect.the school and re- port its condition at the next meeting of the board. It was decided to require inspectors and other employes of the board.to wear uni- forms after January 1. The style of the uniform is yet to be decided on. G:éret McEnerney, the attorney of the board, sentin a written opinion regarding the Yowers of the board in reference to public schools. He showed conclusively that the board exceeded its authority when it closed the Mission, Marshall and Everett schools by force of its inspectors. In conclusion he said: r If the department of the City government charged with the education of the children of the municipaiity does not co-operate with the Department of Health, or, if the parents, being warned by the officers charged with the preservation of the public health, persist in allowing their children to attend schools in buildings unfit for such a purpose, or in build- CHRISTMAS ONLY ONE WEEK AHEAD.

The Board of Health performs its whole duty when, ascertaining the fact that buildings 5o used Ao menace health and life, it gives public warning of the fact. It was decided to urge the Supervisors to pass the ordinances recently submitted, prohibiting expectorating in public build- ings, in streetcars, on the sidewalks and other places. HUSTLING IN THE MINES. Henry Atwood on the Work Done, on the Mother Lode. Henry Atwood, owner of the Quartz Glen gold property, near Mokelumme Hill, Calaveras County, is at the Grand. Mr. Atwood has recently sold his property for a large figure on a bond. Those who took it, he says, are develop- ing a large body of ore. There are 158 acres in the property altogether, and it in- cludes a placer ciaim. *'I have held this property for thirty-six years,”” said Mr. Atwood, “and for a long time it seemed like very slow work getting any money out of it. I did not get any, in fact, for years. Now that thereis no silver mining, or comparatively none, those who formerly mined for silver are mining for gold. This has helped California wonderfully. I never could understand why any Californians should be in favor of silver, when it does not help out the gold mining industry of this State in sny way. +“In Tuolumne, Calaveras and Amador counties especially the mines are looking fine. Itis lively in all these. Not for twenty-six years has there been such an interest in mining. Itis like the old days. I am very glad to see it, after holding on so long. I always felt that the time would come when we would see prosperity in the gold mines. It has been slow in com- ing, but it is here, and as a result we will see zeneral prosperity vrevail again, in my judgment, all over the State. “‘At the Gwyn mine in. Calaveras a 40- stamp mill has just been completed, and a run was made on the first lot of ore the other day. It assayed about $10 a ton. At this rate there is lots of money in work- ing the property. “It is about the same with my own property. The ore can be milled there for 75 cents a ton. We have cheap water- power. We have an 800-foot pressure. Everything else conspires to make the mining and milling one of the cheapest propositions in the country. I think the ore there will average $10 a ton. It is mainly a white quartz, with some ribbon quartz, with shades of blue. There are sulphurets in the ore, and with picked lots you can get ore that will run $1500 a ton.” Mr. Atwood brought a lot of samples of ore down with him. He was long in the notel business in the mountain counties. He kept the hotel at Big Trees for several years, and also for a long while ran the hotel at Murphys. He will remain here till after the holidays. NEW. TO-DAY. BARRETT & SHERWOOD, Jewelers, REMOVED FROM MONTGOMERY ST, —TOo— No. 7 KEARNY ST, 'OPEN EVENINGS.
