» e s | b 14 THE , SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1897 ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF BEEF The Cattle Men on All Parts of the Coast Now on Velvet. EARLY SHIPMENTS EAST Mutton Has About Doubled in Price During the Last Six Weeks. BEEF WORTH 6 1-4 T0 6 1-2 NET L. Allen, the Livestock Grower of St Clair, Says Early Shipments E:st Raised the Price. A big rise has recently occurred here and all over the coast in the price of beef and mutton. The cattle and sheep grow- ersare in consequence on velvet. They all have cash, and believe they will con- tinue to have it, for they say there is a short supply and everybody who bas cat- tle or sheep has sometbing as good as gold. There are many cattlemen here now from all parts of tne country. Nearly every Western State is represented, as well as New Mexico, Arizona and British Columbvia. At the Russ House for a week past there bas been cattiemen from all sectior Among the cattlemen now there are C. B. Welshous and R. of Elks; W. A. Tapscott of Kea Bluff, and L. Allen of St Clair, Churchill County, Nevada. “‘Beef steers are now worth in Nevada from 614 to 61 cents a pound net,"” said Mr. Allen last night, *‘and beef cows from 5105} cents. Thisis a good solid rise. For the last five years the average price of beef steers there has been about 5 cents. “Late in December there came & Tise, and it has teen staying right with us. Not only have cattle come up, but sheep have also. Mutton which six weeks ago ago was selling for § a head is now bringing from $3 to $3 50 a head. *“The reason for alt this is the scarcity. In Nevada thera has been a great thin- ning out of livestock. In began in Aug- ust and September, when Eastern buyers came in and bought up the cattle to feed. There was an enormous corn crop in Ne- braska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and II- - linois, and it was to eat this corn that the cattle were bought up. “The Truckee Valley, which is from twelve to thirteen miles long, and which usually hasat this time of the year from 11,000 to 16,000 feed cattle, now hasn’t more than 3500 or 4000. This valley runs irom tbe vicinity of Reno toward Carson, and is in Washoe County. “The Mason Valley has about 4000 cattle now being fattened, which is about #s many as usual. Hay bas been cheap. Alfalfa was so!d for awhile as low as $2a ton. “In the Lovelock Vallev, or Humbolat Bink, there are about 3000 head. Usually at th time of the year there are from 5000 to 7000. “Over in Churchill County there are only about 1800, when there are generally from 2500 to 3000. “In Paradise Valley there are about 3000, and usu. 'ly there are about twice as many. “The same thing is noticeable in Honey Lake Valley and Sierra Valley. There are mot in both more than about 6000 head, whereas there ought to be 10,000 to 12,000. from Humboldt east there are no cattle at all—that is, none worth speaking about, and there is usnally in January from 10,000 to 20,000 head there.’ Mr. Allen is feeding 340 head at his ranch in Churchill Couaty. He says it is the first time in five years that he has had a chance to get on the right side of theledger. Many people in the City have been wondering for some time at the small amount of beef they have been get- ting for a zood-sized amount of money. Mr. Allen’s statement nay tend to some extent to explain i POLICE PENSION SUIT. Counselor Nobby Clarke Begins An- other Action Against the Com- missioners, Alired *Nobby” Clarke has given an- other exemplification of his mastery of the English language by filing a suit which he calls *a bill in equity for re- covery of money wrongfully scooped out of the police pension furd.” The action is mn the name of Mary Campion and is directed against the Police Commissioners and the Board of Supervisors in office in 1896, and com- plains that the defendants, in violation of section 424 of the Penal Code, appropriated for the use and benefit of J. F. Moran the sum of §30; that said sum was a part of the public moneys of the City and County of Szn Francisco; that the payment was contrary to law; that a part of the money was contributed by the oratrix in this action; that in paying the same to Moran the defendants violatea article 14 of the constitutioh of the United States and section 1977 of the revised statutes of the United Steotes, and deprived the “plaintiff or oratrix’’ of ber property without due process of law, and denies 10 her the equal protection of the law. In view of these circumstances Mrs. Campion demands that the court require the defendants to refund the §30 thus “wrongifully appropriated.’’ Counselor Clarke is the bete noir of the court clerks, as he bas a great many cases filed without the payment of fees, repre- senting to_the presiding Judge, as'in this case, that his client is not able to advance the costs. He files a great many com- plaints, but very few of them are pressed to trial. ——eige No Guilty Knowledge. sdward Reynaud was before United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday for examination for passing counterfeit money. Reynaud is & barkeeper in a saloon on Quiney street, and he was accused of passing two bad dollers upon Oscar Hawkine. The Commis- sioner dismissed the charge sgainst the bar- keeper, hoiding that the man received and prid out a lot of money every day, and _that it was doubtful if he knew that the money in question was counterfeit. ..—— Counterfeit Coin. Warrants were sworn out yesterday in the United States District Court for the arrest of T. J. Johnston and William H. Ellis, who were detected passing counterfeit half-doilars on storekeepers in the Mission Monday night. The men are now in the City Prison, but will be transferred to the Federal authorities to-day. | N | | volumes comprising a choice collection of | o/ ST AFRIEDRICH 3 | ROBERT A TENT.

Cornerstons of Affiliated Colleges to Be Laid February 22—Other News. A valuable library gift of particular sig- | nificance was made to the University of | California yesterday by Alfred Greene- | baum of this City. Through the Board of Regents, in session for the initial meeting of the new year, he presented the State in- stitution at Berkeley with some thousand Hebraic works that shall form the nucleus ota library of Semitic languages. They | had bean the reference books of the late Dr. Greenebaum of Germany, a prominent rabbi, student and litterateur. Accompanying the books was a check for $587 50 from the women of the Jewish | Temple Emanu-El of this City, with the request that it be used in proverly ar- rauging and labeling the new collection acd in makin g certain additions to it dur- ing the present year. The gift was rece ved with surprise and manifest pleasure by the regents. Colonel Fred Crocker moved that most general and cordial thanks be returned to al! these concerned. State Superintendent of Pub- tic Instruction Black remarked upon the thoughtfulness it indicated and the wide- spread interest that is now being shown in the work and improvement of the Btate University. Arthur Rogers charac- terized it asoneof the most significant gilts ever made the university; it implied great interest taken by a race remarkable for its shrewdmess and showed that the university is receiving the favorable and kindly interest of the Jewish people. As 'a result of this move Regent Halli- die extolied the gratuitous services of Rabbi Voorsanger as professor of Semitic languages at Berkelev, and the board unanimously decided fo supply an assist- ant instructor for the department as soon as funds will per Tnere are other Semitic libraries—at Harvard, at the Umversity of Pennsyl- vania and elsewhere in the East—ex- viained President Kellogg atter the meet- ing, but this is the first one either private or public in the West. While it is not so large it isa very valuable beginning and will certainly te augmented. Regent Reinstein suggested that the cornerstone of the new Affiliatea Colleges buildings be laid with proper ceremonies on Washington's Birthday, and the idea met with general approval. It was decided by a close vote to pay & superintendent of building $150 a montk rather than $200, as was particularly argued for by certain of the regents who wish to retain for the position Robert McKillican, ex-Sheriff of Alameda County, who has been gratuitously serving while expecting the appointment. Further time was asked by and granted to the special joint committes appointed to devise ways and means for providing a superintendent of construction for the new Affiliated Colleges buildings. The proposition of the Alameda Water Company to supply the university at Berkeley with water for three years from August, 1896, to August, 1899, at the te- duced rate of $7 per day for 30,000 gallons was adopted, and a contract ordered drawn to that effect. Heretofore the uni- versity has paid $7 50 a day for the same amount of water. The new rate provides for an extra charge for water in excess of the stipulated 30,000 gallons a day. The finance committee recommended the expenditure of $15.000 in effecting im- provements thought necessary in the uni- versity’s Sutter-street property, now oceu- pied by Nathan & Dohrmanp. electric elevator to replace the present A new e S By !

GIFT 70 BERKELEY that after spending this money the prop- erty would still be yielding net 6 per cent |on"a total investmeat of $400,000. The | matter was referred to a joint committee, i composed of the finance committee and the building committee, ‘with power to act immediately. It was decided to postpone until the next monthly meeting of the Board of Regents the payment of the architect’s | fees, pending a_reaporopriation of $125.- | 000 by the Legislature lor the Affiiiated Colleges. A proposition was fayorably considered for an arrangement whereby the library of thee California Academy of Sciences may be at the disposal of the State Uni- versity, thus giving the insutution the use of three important libraries of refer- | ence—the State Library at Sicramento, | the University Library at Berkeley and the one just mentioned. An effort will be made through a com- mittee, with President Martin Kellogg | hibit in one of the large vacant rooms in the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. A Joan was made by the regents from the university funds of $89.000 to N. W. Stower. Another loan for $20,000, solicited by Chris_Henne, a wealtny young stu- dent at Stanford University, “was post- poned for action at the next meeting. The letter accompanying the important | gift of Semitic works in literature is in | part as follows and explains whence came | the books and why they are given: | To the Honorable Board of Regents of the Uni- | versity of California—GENTLEMEN: The growih | i of Semivc learuing and ihe popularity now enjoyed by a study of the history, languages and literature of the ancient Semitic uations have long since induced the more prominent of American universities to institute chairs for the compelent dissemination of every branch of knowledge embraced in these de- | partments of information. |~ As a citizen the greater part of whose life hasbeen spent in California, I sk the privi- | lege of contributing a modest and limited | share to the development of the Semitic de- | partment of the Universty of California. Having lately fallen heir to a valuable collec: tion of Semific works. I desire to_pres collection to the university and here: spectfully ask your henorable body's aceept- ance of this gift and also of the few immaterial conditions which I deem it proper, in memory of a_most reverend and leariied man, to ap- pend to the same. The collection alluded to constitutes a part [ of the library of my late father, Dr. Elias Greenebaum, chief rabbi of Landsu, in Ger- many. and one of the illustrious scholars of his iime. Dr. Greenebaum, whose name is honorably fuscribed on the’ pnges of German nistory as that of a.scholar and patriot, was a man of progressive tendencies, who spent his many years and his great wealth ol scholar: ship in the services of his people, and ma e- riaily aided in ereating that now vast litera- ture, which, at first specifically Jewish, subse- quently branched out nto the many avenues of Semitic scholarship. Believing that the spirit of my late dear father approves, and acting wholly in the liberal spirit that charac- | terized his entire career through an honor- | able and usefuil life of eighty years, I now | present. this Semetic collection of 1000 vaiu- able works to the university in my father's dear. memory, and ask: First, that it be known as “Theé Greenebaum Co.lection of the Semitic Library of the University of Califor- nia,” and that the books be Iabeled as such, and, second, that the Board of Regents from timé to time make adequate provision for the maintenance of this nucieus of the gradual development of a Semitic library of relerence that shail be the most valuable adjunct to the {class of Semitic languawes ard iit rature.

Mrs. Margery Helen Bennett, 506 Ellis street, swore to complaints in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning charging her husband, Frank W. Bennett, and lier brother-in-law, Gates Bennett, with bat- tery. She told Warrant Clerk Glenson that she was married about a year ago. Her hus- band and his brother jointly occupied a { flatat 702 Van Ness avenue, and her un- married sister went to live with her. Hus- band and wife did not live happily to- gother, and finally he wanted her to agree 10 a separation, but she refused, and things went from bad to worse. Satarday aiternoon they iad a violent quarrel, and she says her husband seized a razor and chased her into the sireet. She returned and her husband, assisted by his brother, forciblv ejected her from the house, and she aud her sister were com- pelled to return to the home of their par- ents. Mrs. Bennett also procured asearch- warrant to_obtain possession of her jew- elry and other personal effects which ber husband had reiused to hand over to her. The two brothers were arrested yester- day afternoon and were released on their own recognizance by Judge Low. denied Mrs.. Bennett's allegations and would wait for a vindication in court.

Otficers of the Lccal Anti-Spanish Society Get Much Aid From Italians Here. Senator Mills of Texas made a speech on the Cuban question on Monday, which was soimpetuous as to include Italy in its denunciation of the enemies of Cuba. The local leaders of the Cuban move- ment number many Itahans in their ranks, and they are indignant over Sena- tor Mills' utterances. Ths following ex- cerpt from the Senator's speech bhas par- ticularly offended the locat contingent: Are we going to be tcared by the tremendous army of Italy? Signor Crispi has declared that Italy would regard our recognition of the independence of Cuba as a very serious com- plication of foreign affairs. Crispi? Who is Signor There was a day when the Romen name was acknowledged throughout the whole earth, but that day has passed, and the symbol of power ot Italy to-dny is & monkey and an organ-grinder. {Laughter in the gal- leries.] v, if Signor Crispi takes offense at the action of Congress—if, in conjunction with Spain, he is disposed to make a ioly alliance, let tnem come with their moukeys and organ: grinders and_their hot tamales. [Laughter.] This Government is 00 great {0 situnder & threat of all the armed powers of the earth. F. E. Mascherini and J. H. Jones, lead- ers of the local sympathizers with Cuba, denounce the expressions of Senator Mills, especially in regard to the alleged hostile attitude of Italy. They state that Senator Mills is wrong as to his facts and that Italy, far from being opposed to the liberation of Cuba, is strongly in favor of that liberation. “Rome itself,’”” said Mr. Mascherini, ‘‘is a central stronghold for Cuban relief, and i the Italian leaders in the mavemeni there include Felice Giufrida. Hon. Im- briani and G. Bovio, all members of the Itahan Parliament. “Mr. Mills, the Senator from Texas, is wrong in supposing that Crispi speaks for the Lialian race, and at the present time Marquis Rudini is Prime Minister there. As to the Senator’'s sarcasm regarding | Tralians being only good for playing or- gans with monkeys attuched, and selling tamales on the corners of streets, it is well recognized that the [talians are as patri- otic and have shown as much devotion to the cause of freedom as the people of any other nation.” Mr. Jones said: “The iocal Italian colony is heart and soul with usin our movement for Cuba’s freedom and it re- sents the baseless insinuations of Mr. Mills. Itis true that Mr. Mills believed that he was doing the best for Cuba, but his efforts will be thrown away if he in- cludes in his campaign such attacks upon a friendly and sympathetic peopte. It might be well before he makes a sveech of such impor:ance, and which will be spread all over the world, that he should at least ascertain the name of Lialy’s Premier, and avoid a gratuitous insult to a peeple that love independence as well as the Italians have proved they do.” L'Italia of this City bas taken up the cudgel against Senator Mills, saying: “Italy was yesterday heavily off=nded by Senator M Ils.” It iakes the position that Crispi does not stand for Italy and that Italy is not against Cuba. STRYCHNINE OB FITS. Mrs. Lizzie Lampman Causes Excitement at the California Police Station. Mrs, Lizzie Lampman, 46 years of age, was arrested Monday afternoon on Bush street by Policeman Leonard on a charge of drunkenness. She was locked up in the California-street station, and about 4 o'clock yesterday morning she was at- tacked with violent convulsions. She was sent to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon, and Dr. Fiizgibbons founa that she bad all the symptoms of strych- nine poison. He applied the usual reme- dies with successul results. Mrs. Lampman denied that she swal- lowed any poison, and said she was sub- ject to epileptic fits. Her husband, <he said, was an engineer on one of the Pacific Mail boats.
