< THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1896. 9 LEGISLATORS TALK ABOUT THE WORK Caucus of the San Fran- cisco Assemblymen- Elect. Their Decision as to How They Shall Act on Certain Propositions. Prominent Measures Proposed to Be Urged During the Coming Session of the Legislature.* ‘The San Francisco Assemblymen-elect held a caucus last night in Justice of the Peace.Carroll's courtroom and discussed matters in which they had a common in- terest, irrespective of politics, in the com- ingeession of the Legislature. The meeting partock more of a social | than a business character and the greater part of the time of the session was occu- pied by the members in getting acquainted with one another. There were present: W. H. Gately, E. 8. Ryan, F. Lundqnui: L. A. Henry, H. C. Dibble, Leon E Jones, G. Pohiman, H. L Mulcrevy, H. Mc@rath, L. J. Dolan, F. Maloney, G. B. Godirey, J. H. Power, J. Treacy, H. M. Kelly, J. Allen and E. F. Lacy. The recommendation recently made by a committee of Senators appointed at the last session of the Legislature to the effect that bills when introduced should not be printed, but referred to a committee, which should reject duplicate bitls or ex- clude from printing unimportant bills, engaged the attention of the caucus. Assemblymen were unanimously in op- tion to the scheme. They were quite willing that the Senate | should make all the rules it wanted in reference to Senate bills, but were firm in the position that every Assemblyman’s right to introduce a bill and have that bill printed and a copy of it placed én the desk of every member should be re- spected. The seventeen Assemblymen present reemed to favor the idea of a primary elec- tion law, similar in a genersl sense to the law which was passed at the last session of .the L ature and declared unconsti- tutional by the Supreme Court. jections indicated by the court can be The | The ob- | semite Commission, two State prisons and four or five insane asylums (ihey are multiplying so fast that it is difficult to keep track of them) when one of each would do. An attempt will be made to boil the two penitentiaries into one and the in:ane asylums into one, which coun- try members say will be a great saving. But they are not willing to _abolish or hamper the usefulness of the Viticultural and Horticultural commissions, and this is the lever which the friends of the other bureaus will use to hoist the country delegates if they become too troublesome, The agricultural representatives are very tender on the subject of the Horti- cultural Commission, and it will be re- membered what a cold frost was tendered address in the Assembly chamber last summer at the annual meeting of the | Btate Horticultural Society. ! Reformers will make another effort to have the Torreus iand act adopted. Like ihe present election law, the Torrens act is & native of Australia, a country which is making kangaroo strides in the direc- tion of political progress, The bill was introduced at the last session and was placed in the hands of a banker, a real es- tate man and a searcher of records, who ! reported that it wasa very good thing in Australia, but that it was rather too ten- der a plant to thrive in the climate of Cal- ifornia, The Torrens act takes a fresh startin the matter of titles. lt establishes. the titie of the present owner of a piece of real estate, and 1f there is no adverse claim pending all the past transactions in the record are wiped out. ‘The new law would paralyze the searcher of records, because’ most of their work consists in searching the same records over and over again every time a sale of the property1s made. What the dairymen propose to do for the protection of tbeir interests was told by Assemblyman Damon of Humboldt in last Sunday’'s CaLr, and it will not be necessary to repest 1t here, ’ The association of San Francisco ieach- rs has appointed Thomas H. McCarthy 1o take care of the proposed amendments to the teachers' pension law. The act as passed at the last session of the Legisla- ture contains some defects which the teachers wish to remedy, The law, as it now stands, provides that a pension of $0 jer month .shall be paid to each superannuated teacher who shall nave served in the San Francisco School D-partment for twenty years. It is proposed to amend by fixing the period at thirty years of service, and if a teacher should pe incapacitated in the perform- ance of her or his duties before the ex- piration of thirty years of service she or he shall receive, instead of the iull pen- sion. only as many thirtieths of the same as there are years of service. The pension funa is made up of 1 per cent of the salaries of the teacners sub- scribing thereto. It is proposed to amend this provision by allowing the 1 per cent payment to run for fifteen years, after which time the payments shall be at the rate of 2 per cent of the salary. Another amendment creates a board of five teachers, whose duty it shall be to pass upon the claims of persons desiring to be pensioned, and to designate those who may be entitled to that relief. Itis also provided that in case of a deficiency Miss Ella Dales Miles. [From a photograph by Hudson.) noted and the law framed so as to become operative. 5 % & As the Legislature is Republican in both branches, and the caucus was composed of eleven Democrats and six Republicans, | questions of patronage were not dis- cussed. The talk was informal. It was decided to defer the permanent organiza- tion of the delegation until the members shall meet in Sacramento. One invitation was accepted. The As- sembiymen agreed to become the guests of the State Board of Harbor Commis- sioners for a trip around the bay to- morrow. * Sig Bettman was the only Assembly- man absent. He was seen at the Bald- win Hotel last evening. He said he had no intention of holding aloof from the | conference and that his absence was main)y due to bis own negligence. Several members of the delegation in- tend to leave for Sacramento mnext Friday evening and the others will start next Sat- urday morning. One of the delegation observed facetioualy that it would be wiser, better and safer to leave on New Year’s night than to try to get upat6 o'clock in the morning the day after with that tired malarious feeling and attempt to catch the train. The Assembly deiegations wiil holda caucus in Sacramento next Saturday even- ing and the Senate will caucus on Sunday, 80 that there will be no day of rest on ths first Sunday at the beginning of the year, nor on any other Sunaay during the ses- sion, for that matter. The coming session of the Legislature promises to be replete with interest. Econ- omy will be the battle-cry on one side, and to the victors belong the spoils will be the slogan on the other. The past hasnot been a prosperous vear with wool and raisin growers under the Democratic system of non-protection, and the wine-growers would have been much better off had tneir industry been protected. The tiller of the soil, the shepherd and the stock-raiser have been hard hit, and therefore the rep- resentatives from the bucolic woods and meadows have been instructed to fight for economy and retrenchment. Ttis likely that there will be a concerted movement against the bureaus and com- missions whicb have increased so rapidly during the past decade and whose salary and maintenance bills are heavy drafts upon the State treasury. It is said by the representatives of the granger element that the greater part of these bureaus are sinecures—that they are shady alcoves of repose generously provided by the law- makers for the reward of their faitaful {riends, They say that the State Mining Bureau is for the benefit only of rich men who are assisted in the sale of mining proper- ties by the recommendations of the State there shall be a pro rata pension, and the fund shall not contract any debt thereby, One quarter of all the moneys placed in the permanent fund shall beus d in the payment of annuities, and the permanent fund sball remain intact until it has reached $350,000, after which it shall go into the annuity fund and will be invested in State or mnnicipal interest-bearing bonds. Parts of salary forfeited because of absence from school will be placed in the fund. There is now $3000 in the treasury and seven pensioners drawing $350 per month. As the amendment will not increase taxation, the fund being made up volun- tarily by the teachers tbemselves, it will not likely be opposed. Foreign Song birds for Parks. An interesting experiment is to be tried in Lincoln Park, Chicago, which, if suc- cessful, will add a new feature to the at- tractions of that beautiful resort. About fifty of tbe choicest kinds of European song birds, including linnets, goldtinches, bullfinches, and other varieties, have been imported, and they will spend the winter in the spacious paim house of the con- servatory. They will be properly fed and cared for, itis pelieved they will do well, as the nter temperature of the palm house is about the same as that of the latitudes from which they came, In the late spring the little songsters will be released anu allowed to seek nesting laces in the park trees, or make their Enmu inside the building at r own sweet will. Practical ornithologists are of opinion that the birds will remain in the vicinity of their winter quarters nuring the summer to raise their young, an that the colony will eventually become a populous one. At any rate the ex?ori- ment was thought worth trying, and if it turns out well the visitors to the park next summer will be charmed with some of the sweetest bird music known. Here- tofore the feathered population of Lincoln Park has been limited to very ordinary native varieties, principally bluejays and robins. . —————— The Tender-Hearted Soldier. “We had a man in our company,” said an old soldier, “whose patriotism was fervent, but who was so tender-hearted that he hated to inflict pain on ' anybody. At the first fight the reziment was in, when the order was given to commence tiring, he said to the Captain: “‘I don’t want to shoot over there—I might hit somebody.” “+Ohb, go ahead,” said the Captain. ‘I guess there’s no daneger.’ “But before the war was over—such is the influence of & man’s surroundings—he Governor Budd at the conclusion of his | 10 BE MARRIED NEW YEAR'S FE Miss Ella Dales Miles and H.

Boyd Commits Suicide in a House on Market Street. Alonzo P. Boyd, a teamster, committed H. Cla’r Cantelow. suicide early yesterday morning by shoot- ing himself in the head at 719 Market. He went to the house on Sunday evening and engaged a room. About 3:30 o’clock yesterday morning the other lodgers were awakened by the loud report of a pistol. George Keefe, the dptopriemr, opened Boyd’s door and found him stretched on the bed with a bullet-hole in his forehead. W. J. Gamble, a friend of the deceased, called at the Morgue and said the sui- cide’s widow, who resides, with het five children, at 698 Twenty-fourth street, Oakland, received a letter from the dead man a few daysago, in which he stated that want and lack of emaployment had driven him desperate, and tgu he had de- cided to take his life. “NOW UNDER WAY,” ‘What Acting Secretary Curtis Has to Say About the Proposed Postoffice Buildiug.

Joseph L. Moody Demands Re- payment of $11,000, With Legal Interest. Peculiar Position of a Msn Whe Could Neither G:t His Land Nor His. Money. There was a surprise in the T, H. Wil- liams estate when the matter of the final distribution of the property came up for consideration before Juige Coffey in the Probate Court. It was expected t'nnt the decree of distribution would be signed, the executor of the will discharged, and that the probate proceedings that bhave lasted for more than ten years would be closed, This result would have been reached, and Thomas H. Willams Jr. would now be in sole and undisputed possession of his patrimony had not an obstacle been placed in the way by Thomas Magee, agent for Joseph L. Moody, who hps a claim of $11,000 against the Thomes H. Williams estate, with accruing interest from September 10, 1890, ‘The manner in which this obligation on the part of the estate arose is an exempli- fication of the queer entanglements that are possible when a lot of eminent attor- neys are engawed in_important litigation, In 1890 Gegrge E. Williams, executor of the wiil of Thomas H. Williams, made a contract to sell a certain tract to Gustave Niebaum for $10,000, and in due course of time filed a return of the sale ir the Pro- bate Court, asking for a confirmation of the sale, the purchase price having been paid and a deed given. A uay was appointed for hearing the application of the executor for a confirma- tion of his act, and on that date Mr. Moody appeared and offered $11,000 for the property. The executor of the will ac. cepted the money, it being understood that he would hold it until the matter was settled by the courts asto whether Nie- baum or Moody had’'a right to buy the land. ‘The Probate Court took the view that, as the executor had asked for a confirma- tion of his sale, he had recognized the jurisdiction of the court to make such au order, and if the court had yuwer to ap- prove such acuon of course it had power to refuse approval. The sale to Niebaum was therefore ordered set aside and the executor was directed to deed the prop- erty to Moody. On this an appeal was made to the Supreme Court, George E. Williams, executor of the T. H. Williams estate, joining in the demand that the decree of the Probate Court be set aside and that Niebaum be not disturbed in his title to the land. Insupport of this view the pro, visions of the will were cited wherein it is stated that the executor shall have full power to do with the proverty exactly as the testator might have doneif living: that he should have authority to lease or sell any part of the real or personal prop- erty without order of any courtor tribu- nali, and that his acts in this r should not be subject to review by any ¢ urt. Inorder to more fully provide for the carrying out of this design the prop- erty was by the will devised to theexecu- tor, in trust, for the benefit of the legatees. On this showing the SBupremé Court re- versed the decision of the Probate Court and lelt Niebaum in possession of the land, holding that as the ownershipof tue roperty passed directly to the executor -by the provisions of the will the Probate Court had no jurisdiction of his acts in disposing of the real estate, and therefors had no authority to make the order ap- pealed from. ¢ Moody then demanded that his $11,000' %e returned, and applied to the Probate Court for an order u}nmng the executor to reimburse bim. Judge Coffey, before whom the petition was presented, said that according to the decision of the Su- reme Court the Probate Court. could not Knve jurisdiction of the matter in any phase, and therefore the application for a mandate on the executor. was ¢ This ruling was subsequently sustained by the Supreme Court. ¥ Moody then brought suif in the Su- | perior Court for the recovery of his money, the executor taking the position that 1t was necessary for a court of com- petent jurisdiction to pass on the question of refunding the money before he would be in a position to do so, as otherwise he might be held responsible tb the minor beirsand others interested in the Thomas H. Williams estate. Moody obtained judg- ment against the estate for the amount due, but the sum was so small in compari- son with the $2,000,000 involved in the estate that it was lost sight of fcr a time and'only came up again yesterday because oi the public announcement in the news- papers that the estate was about to be distributed. It was not mentioned in the accovnt of the estate’s debts, As Moody stands in the relation of a jud:ment craditor to the estaie he will insist on the paywent of his claim before the decree of distribution 1s signed. On apolication of the attorneys in the case a continuance was granted until 10 o'clock this morning, at which time a settlement of the dispute will probably be made and Moody will get his money. HI§ WIFE'S PROPERTY. $. C. Baldwin Sued for the Money in His Possession. T. W. Read, as executor of the last will of Mrs. Caroline F. Baldwin, yesterday brought two suits by his attornevs, Wal- ter H. Linforth and George E. Whitaker, agamst 8. C. Baldwin ior the purpose of recovering from the defendant certain proverty said to belong to the aead woman's estate. At the time of Mrs. Baldwin’s death she was, and for tweanty years prior thereto, had been the wife of the defendant, and itis charged in the complaint that after her death, on the 8th of last September, he uniawfully took from Kast Oakland, Alameda County, $487 50 belonging to his | wite's estate, that he converted the same to his own use and refuses to return tie same to the plaintiff, who is legaliy enti- tled to possession thereof, though fre- quently requested so to do. An order of court was asked for requir- ing Baldwin to give up the property thus unlawiully beld by him. iFER A FOURTH THIL Louisa Worthington Asks the Supreme Court for Rehearing. Twice Found Guilly of Murder in the S-cond Degree and Once Jurors Disagreed. Louisa Worthington, who killed Harry Baddeley, has broken the record in her attempts to get new trials through the agency of the Supreme Court. She has already bad three trials. Once the jury disagreed; twice she has been found guilty by a jury of murder in the second degree. The case came first before Judge Seawell in 18vo. There were errorsdur- ing the trial, and the Supreme Court gave the woman another chance. The second Lrhlsgéok‘;}llu before Judge Belcher, in May, 1895. pon this trial the jury stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction. Then the case came before Judge Wallace to be t‘r{ied the third time, and a verdict was found of murder in the second degree. The Supreme Court, when an appeal was taken from that judgment, found that the Superior Court had not erred, and a new trial was denied. Nothing daunted by this, Mrs. Worth- ington urged upon her counsel to make another appeal. The decision of the Su- preme court adverse to her was handed down iust three weeks ago. Yesterday B. G. Haskell, acting for Mrs. Worthing- ton, fled a petition for a rehearing. In. this. document it is asserted that Mrs. Wurthinfiton has not had a fair trial, and the question:of whether she was in. sane when the shooting occurred was dis- cussed.

CRASHED DOWN AN ELEVATOR SHAFT The Cage at 120 Sutter Street Dropped Over Two Stories. Four Pissengers Narrow'y Escape Death in the Swiit Descent, The Statz University Owns the Building and Will Now Put In Modern Apparatus. An accidentoccurred to the elevator at 120 Sutter street yesterday aiternoon at about 1 o’clock ' that fortunately was at- tended with but slight injury to four men who were passengers in the cage- atthe time, The exact cause of the accident was at first shrouded in mystery, which went to the extent of every one connected with the building refusing. to discuss the sub- ject. Eveatually the agent of the build- ing, Benjamin Bangs, was found in room 55, on the top floor, and’ when asked re- fgarding the affair confessed he knew very ittle. All he did know, however, was that when the elevator was ascending be- tween the second and third floors in charge of the elevator-boy, R. H. Jones, 1t shot suddenly up and then came down with a crash, striking the bottom, where it re- bounded some distance, doing very little damage. He understood there were three passen- gers in the cage at the time, but who they were or as to the extent of their injuries he possessed no knowledge. As to the cause, his mind was in a similas biank condition, but he had sent for Mr. Mc- Nichol, who built the elevator, to make an examination of the damage and inves- tigate the cause that led thereto. A further investigation from the janitor, and the elevator man, Jones, was equally fruitful of results. All said they had been cautioned to keep their moutas closed, and undoubtedly they obeyed or- ders to the letter. Others, however, who had not been en- joined told what they knew, which 1ein the main the correct account of the acci- dent. The elevator was in charge of Gus Le- veque, who is the regular elevator man of the freight elevator which runs in the rear portion of the building, but on this ocea- sion he relieved R. H. Jones, the regular attendant, who went to lunch. There were three persons besides Le- veque in the cage when itshot up to the top of the shait. They were: J, W. Thomas, an agent for the Pacific Coast department of Lamson’s Consolidated Store Service Company; W. N. Sanderson, jamitor of Golden Gate Hall, 625 Sutter street, and Frederick Schmedmann, an emplove of R. M. Tripp & Co., room 62, same building. None of them were seri- ously injured. Dr. W. McNutt, whose office is at 301 Sutter street, was summoned to attend to Frederick Schmedmann and W. N. San- derson, whom be found to be suffering from a sprained ankle each, with no bones broken or internal injuries that he could detect on a hurried examination. Scomedmann was sent to Dr. McNutt's private hospital on Bush street, while Sanderson was sent* home in a carriage. Leveque’s only injury was a slightly abrazed left arm, while Thomas escaved without any injuries whatever other than acontused shoulder, where it struck tie cagze on the rebound. The building is now the property of the California State University, it having been recently purchased from the heirs of tb; Kate Johnson estate. he elevator is one of old model, such as were put into buildings some years ago by McNichol & Co., and was latterly con- sidere | by all to be of a shaky and unsafe construction at best. 8o much so, in- deed, that the regents of the university had given instructions to have it taken out and a double elevator of modern con- struction put in its place, but at the re- quest of some of the tenants who had goods for cale the change had been de- ferred until after the holidays. Now the change will be made without delay. The highest score in an international football match was made by England vs. Ireland at Belfast in 1881. It was 13 goals to none. NEW TO-DAY. s .

Sead for free books ONLY THE VERY BEST. That Is the Advice Which the Leading Physicians of the Land Give. Thousands of people at this time of the year tind themselves in a low state of health, and many are now asking the question, “‘How can I regain health and strength and feel as I ought to feel ?” For the benefit of people who ask this question, it may be stated that some of the best physicians in the land say that Na- ture requires assistance, the sluggish blood needs stirring up, impurities driven from the system, and the great organs of the body endowed with new life. “For produce ing these effects no stimulant has ever equaled pure malt whiskey, providing it really is pure and free from adulteration. Eminent physicians throughout the world agree on this point. Dr. 8. Weir-Mitchell, Philadelphia, says: “T adhere to the belief that pure whiskey is the least injurious, safest and best alco- holic liquor.™ Dr. Frank H. Wade, Pittsburg, says: ‘*After many years of careful study, I am fin‘nly convinced that whiskey is the least injurious, and, therefore, the safest and best of alcoholic liquors for people to use.” While the above opinions carry weight and conviction, it must be remembered that ordinary whisksy cannot be depended upon, and will usually do more barm than good. What people in a weak, run-down condition need is a pure medicinal whis- key, aund the only whiskey that has ever answered this description is Duffy’s malt. ol Bi Treatment THE | DR.
