12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL AY, JANUARY 18, 1897. SHAKEN UP BY SEISMIC FORCES, San Francisco Trembled . for a Brief Space Yesterday.

In Oakiand the nature of the shocks and the peculiar noise with which they were accompanied we Iv similar to those that accompany 2 The people in Oakland are so accus- tomed to such shocks that everybody at once concluded that the periodical explo- sion at the powder-works had taken place, ed to b w many lives had e asiieat: the report was re- ceived earthquake, layed. The effect of the severe shock was most | apparent in the churches. At the fenth Ave 1st Church the shock cameas a dramatic climax to the pastor’s address. Rev. C. M. Hill had just reached the point | where he had placed the grave question of the acceptance or rejection of salvation | vividly before his audience. *‘Can you safford to be inaifferent?'” said the pastor. The next moment the sanctu- ary was vioiently shaken. Many of the conzregation stood up in terror, and several of the younger mem- bers ran out of the buildinz. Several women were so shocked that theg burst into tears and others turned deathly pale. The greatest excitement prevailed, and from all parts of the house hysterical screams were heard. Deacon Joseph Piaw allayed the feelings of some by rising to his_ feet and “You need not be afr If you you should rejoice. It is simply the voice of the Lord peaking to his people.” One of the members of the church stated that the feeling was like that wnich would be experienced if some giant had got below the church and shaken it up. The vibrations of the seismic needle at the Chabot Observatory showed that there was a_heavy disturbance and that the vibrations were mainly from east to west. EMBLEM OF SCCIALISM G. B.

The socialist movement in this City and vicinity is becoming more enlivened every week. The meetings are more largely at- tended than ever before, and as may be expected many new fuces are observed at the weekly gatherings and propaganda meetings. With some it is a desire for knowiedge upon economic matters; with others it is curiosity to sce what the so- cialists do and he.r what they say. It is rarely the case that the first visit fails to lead to the second and the third and so on until a regular attendance resalts. This bas been the experience of the American branch of the San Francisco section. At first the members of the paity met in small halls and heid meetings on the street corners. Increasing member- ship made iarger halis necessary, and when the plan of holding Sunday-night lectures was decided upon the branch moved into one of the large halls in Pyth- ian Castle. For several weeks past even this apart- ment, which holds over 300, has not beer, large enough 10 accommodate all who de- sired to be present, and many have been turned away, for there was not even standing room. Last week the branch decided to secure a still larger ball, which was done, and during the remainder of the year, begm- ning in_February, the lectures will be held in Washington Hall on Eddy street. The socialists are about to make another movement in the line of progress, and be- fore long they wul publish a socialist newspaper. W. W. Wilkins will be the editor. Thi is well known all tes, may be not as a_socialist, but certainly as a Populist. He it was who was the author of the Omaha platiorm of that party. Lacer he got out of the Populist traces and became known as ihe leader of the middle-of-the-road element. His next mov ment was as the organizer of labor exchanges, and in tis line of work he is known all over this coast. While always a socialist in principles, 1t was not until recently that he came out asa full and pronounced socialist, and the party be- lieves that he will represent it in the new paper. It will start-as a monthly, but as soon as possible it will become a weekly paper. A new section, to be known Section Berkeley, was formed yesterday noon almost in the very shadow of the State University across the bay. Messrs. Hecht, Benham ang Wilkins went to Berkeley yesterday in response to a call from a number of liberal-minded people of that place, and in a surprisingly short space of | on Bunker Hill | pression and slavery of mankind. { row the emblem of the emancipation of time the new section was formed and the following officers selected: Organizer, A. C. Hawkins; recording secretary, Mrs. Grebs; financial secretary, E. Grcbs, treesurer, John H. Eustice. In the jormation of the new section there is a litule feature that is not gener- ally known even in soc alist circles. It is well known that a large number of stu- de at the Leland Stanford Jr. Univer- | sity and some of the professors too are so- cialists or have socialistic tendencies. The Berkeley students, at least many of them, Lave been making inquiries inio the un- principies of the issue and have » much impressed. It is not always policy to openly declare the nature of one’s convictions, even to friends. How- ever, the new section was created as much for the benefit of the Berkeley students as for any class and the people who may fig- ure most prominently in the Berkeley section may uot be the only ones who are deeply interested :n its welfare. This | promises to be the liveliest section in the Stat ated in the foregoing, the lcctares of the American Branch of this Citv are largely attended and iast evening's enter- tainment wae as iully altended as anv preceding. The hall was not large enough to accommodate all who desired to be present. W. Wilkins presided There was a little change i the pro- gramme. T. M. Anthony was expected to speak on ‘‘Progress.” He was absent, but nis place was ably filled by G. B. f‘on- ham, whose subject was the “Red Flag.’ Among the uninformed the red flx\" (»r to be the emblem of disorder and bloodshed, any who listened to Mr. Benham en ained such notions they were unde- ed before the address was half over. address showed careful preparation, familiarity with ancientand modern his- nd logical reasoning. Mr. Benham, in “substance, stated tHat the red-fl origin is last in antiquity. 1t¥as the fl of ancient Tunis, Tripol, Turkey and other countries. Tho-e who recognized the sun as the mainstay of life saw in the tlames of fire its counterpart on earth, and sun and flames were symbolized by a tlaming ba In mythological lore the goddesses Ceres, Minerva, Pomona and Proserpine, who presided over the food products of the carth, were depicted as being clothed in flaming red. This color was adopted by the agricultural laborers, and later by all e who toiled for their bread. As a contrast the azure and white were adopted by those who did not labor and who exalted themselves by a pretense of superiority—the azure, the grandeur of the blue skies, the white to show that no soil came from the grim hands of labor. Amoang the toilers of ancient Athens, Roms and other places were labor com- munes, also represented by tne tlaming banner is believed anarchy, riots, but | flag. Coming down to more modern dates, Mr. Benham called the attention of his audience to the fact thatin1 during the War of tke Revolution, General Put- nam raised a red flag on Prospect Hill, Mass. It was then regarded by the colo nies as an emblem of liberty. The same belief caused ared banner to be placed fter that great victory was won. W working in the same great cause Pulaski was presented with a crimson banner by the nuns of a convent at Baltimore. The Commune of Paris recognized the flaming banner in the sanie way mmy that is good, the fellowship ot man, the industries of the world and the hope of the oppressed and the downtrodd: and it stands against everything that is bad, the op 1t i the worla.” FRENCH IN THE SCHOOLS Work of Education Conducted in This City by I’Alliance Francaxse. N arly Four Hundred Pupils Being Taught the Mother Country’s Langurg:. Charles Marais presided at the annual meeting of I’Alliance Franc: held Sat- urday night at Union square Hall, This institution was brought to light some years ago by a number of patriotic Frenchmen, at the head of whom is Daniel Levy, who assess themselves for the pur- pose of employing professors to teach the French language to pupils of the local public schoo The executiv lowing gratifying report, committee made the fol- including the work of the organizailon during the year | ending December 31, 1896: After thanking the Board of Education for placing the schools and classes at the disosal of 1’Alliance the report enumer- ates the schools where ciasses were formed at the beginning of the year 1896 and in which pupils to the number o1 322 were taught, as follows: Whittier, 28; W, ington, 34; Hamilton, 52; Denman, Hearst, 26; Horace Mann, 60; Crocker, 22; Le Conte, 54. These pupils were divided into eleven classes, six of which were organized in November, 1895. Some seventy-live pupils dropped out shortly after the first of the year 1896 be- | cause of lack of aptitude to learn a foreizn language or else that they had not time to study. The remaining pupils, however,were enthusiastic and encouraged the committee in its work. With the assistance of W. principal of the South San Francisco School, and Eugene Legallet, Berirand Salles, Jean Boyle, J. Milly and A. Com- batalade, thirty-three pupils were secured in that section of the Potrero never before attended to in the work, and 140 new members came into I’ Alliance. In March classes were estabiished in the Sherman, John Swett, Clement and North Cosmopolitan schools, and at the end of the year L' Alliance had classesin thirteen schoo!s ana a total of 347 pupils. In six schools classes are held five times each week, and in seven others three times a week. T.e completed list of schools, teachers and number of pupils at the present _time is as follows: Whittier, Mrs. L. Bous- quet, 30; Washington, Miss E. Ram- pillion, 29; Hamilton, Miss M. Ramp: iion, 26; Denman, Mre. Lanfranchi, 36; Horace M.«nn, Mrs. J. Osboru, 29 South San Francisco, L. Ravauit, 33; Hearst, Mrs. E.

Stone, scipline of these classes has been such that neither the teachers nor the committee have had to find objection in any case. The report on finances showed as fol- : Toral receipts, $3324 42: total ex penses, §3303 05; surplas receipts, $21 37 cost of maintaining the schools, $2006 4 recetpts from the parents of pupils, $2208 80; surplus expenses, $757 65. The latter deficit is so well covered by the monthly dues of the members and by the donations from the 14th of.July com- mittees and others that there 1s an actual fund of $1163 50 to begin this year’s work. The members of I'Alliance Francaise aredivid:d as follows: Life 2, honorary 73, contributing 230, yearly mambers 160. This brings the number to , or an in- crease of 69 members in twelve months.

Detective Michael Arthur Conroy of Australia, One of the Most i Remarkable Professional Athletes Who Has Ever Come to San Francisco. He Is Here to Assist in the Capture of Butler, the Murderer, Expected to Arrive on the Swanhilda. DETECTIVE AND ATHLETIC STAR Australian Sleuth Conroy a Phenomenon on the Track. As Jumper, Sprinter, Vauiter, | Putter and Thrower He Is a Wonder. | He Also Has a Record as Boxer, Oars- man and Wrestler—A Mod- est Champion. One of the two Australian detectives | sent here to capture Butler, the atrocious murderer who escaped on the ship Swan- hilde, is an athlete of most unusual abil- itv. His name is Michael Arthur Conroy. He is a native of Springfield, Victoria, Australia, and is 26 yearsof age. He is | garb. For sixteen years, or.ever since he was a mere boy of ten, he has been a pro- fessional athlete, competing wherever there were professional events in different parts of Australia, New Zealand and Tas- mania, Like many other men in Australia, where professional atbletic sports attract more attention than anywhere else in the world, he has constantly followed the circuit of meets and games for a living. He has been in hundreds of competitions and has won thousands of pounds ster- ling, or many thousanas of dollars. Here are some of his best records, all made in competition and attested by of- ficials at the different big professional | meets in which they were made: Running High Jump(world’srecord) 6 ft. 5 in. Standing High Jump o Eipin Running Broad Jump. 10 7 in. Standing Broad Jump(wich weights). u m 4 in Pole Vault (for heizht) 1 o Running Hop, Step ana 3 Three Standing Jumps Putting 56-pound Weig 8 m Throwin 5€-pound Weight & o 75-y ¢ (stending start 100-yard Sprin. (standing start). 50-yard Sprint (standing start) . 200-yard Sprint (standing start) . 120-yard Hurdles (10 leaps, $ In addition to these surprising per- formances in speed and agility Conroy is an oarsman, a boxer and a wrestler. He is young, bright, fearless, withal quiet and unassuming. And this is the man that the Australian police chose to assist in capturing'and returning to Aus- tralia a desperate criminal of considerable physical power. He had been in the Police Department but one day when he was detailed to help in the search for Butler. He joined the Melbourne, New South Wales, police on November 23, 1¥96. Before that he had always been an athiete by profession. The next day he was called out and put op this murder case, the first and only detective | work he bas done. But he is the only man here that actu- ally knows and is known to Butler, and upon his recognition the United States Marshals that are to make the arrest will be sure of their man. From November 24 to December 12 Con- roy was busy investi:aling the case in Syaney, New South Wales, with Detective Roach. On the latter date he sailed from Sydney with Detective McHatt in the smamsmp Miowera for Vic- toria, B. C., in pursuis of the murderer, whom they had finally traced to the Swanhilda, which had already sailed for <an Francisco from Newcastle, the home of Detective McHattie. Conroy’s first appearance as an athlete was in & boys' race for a tin of sweet biscuits. He won the prize and at once sold it for cash. Un the same dav he also won the boys’ high jump and the pole vault. That was when he was 10 years of age. E e next season, when only 11 years of age, he began competing in professional events with men and won the running hi h jump with a leap of 5 feet 8 inches, a performance that fully developed colleze athletes on this coast consider unusually good, particularly wten it is remembered that the Pacific Coast amateur record was very little better than that until the last few years. Thatsame year he also tied for first vlace in the pole vault by clearing 9feet 9 inches in competition with old vrofessionals. From-that time on he de- veloped steadily year by year 9s his size and strencth increased. When 19 years of age he cleared 6 feet 84 inches in the running high jump, which is his star performance. He has competed 242 times 1h this one event and bas never been beaten from the scratch. At Melbourne in the exhibition games on. | 5 feet 10 inches in heig: ¢, gracefully built, | for three standing backward jumps was and weighs 189 pounds in meager athletic | | Coast record 1s 10 feet 1015 | vaulter. St. Patrick’s day, 1891, he conceded twelve inches to his best opponent and then won. Though his best attested performance i regular competition for a prize is 6 feet 5 inches, made at Warehouseman's cricket vrounds, St. Hilda road, Melbourne, in 1891, he cleared the bar while in practice for that match at the height of 6 feet 71{ inches. This performance was witnessed and measured by Professor William Mil- ler, now an athletic instructor in Mel- bourne, but formerly well known in this City, and by P, H. Reynolds of the Royal Mail Hotel, Bourke street, Melbourne. In the games at Jerilderie; New South Weles, in 1892, there were thirteen events. Conroy entered them all. He won twelve first places and tied for the other. On that occasion he established his record of 47 feet and 4 inches in the running hop, step and jump. In 1888 at Geelong, Victoris, he made his record of 11 feet 1 inch in the pole vault. How good that is may be inferred from the fact that the present Pacific inches made last April by Dole, the great Stanford pole But Conroy equaled this latter record last St. Patrick’s Day in a contest at the Sydney Cricket Grounds. His standing high jump record of 5 feet 815 inches was made in the games at Al- | bury, N. S. W., in April, 1895. That record alone would here be considered creditable for the running event, though only last | year Patterson of the Olympic Club and littie Bert Kerrigan, then of the Multno- mah Athletic Club of Portland, but now of Stanford University, both cleared the bar at 6 feet 2 inches, and surprised the athletic world on this coast by establish- ing a record not approximated before in the West. His record in the running broad jump, 21 feet 10 inches, was made at Melbourne in 1891 It does not, how- ever, compare favorably with his other performances when contrasted with rec- ords on this coast. His record of 27 feet mede at the Crystal Palace, Melbourne, in 1890, He put the 56-pound weight 20 feet 8 inches in the games at Murchison, Vic- toria, Australia, and he threw the same weigh feet 4 inches at Hobart Town, Tasmania. In 1890, at the Melbourne Exhibition Building, he won both the all-comers’ wrestling contests against nine competi- tors each time. These are the only wrest- liug contests he has entered. In the sprints his records were all re- corded by Baird’s automatic judging ma- chine, which is supposed to make none of the mistakes so frequent among timers using stop watches. He covered seventy- five yards on the Lilly Bridge Running Grounds in Sydney last year irom a stand- fig ota7C 10 Sneiondn. . Nasa100 vards he ade in 97 seconds and the others as in- icated in the list of records above. When Walter Henry ot the University of California established at the Olympic grounds in 1893 a world’s amateur record of 153 seconds for the 120-yard hurdles his record waslooked upon as phenomenal. Conroy as a professional hns covered the same distance over the same obstacles in 14)4 seconds, though that is over a second awuy from the world’s professional record. In'some years Conroy has competed in over 200 events, and in’ Sydney contested continuously once for six days during a big meet. In most of these professional 1614 sec. | CONtest there isa cash prize of at least £50, or $250, to the winuer. Often it is £100, or $500. 1ln one event in 1889 the first prize, won by Conroy, was over $1600. Ia :ddluon to the big cash prizes Con- roy has won twenty-four gold medals and has four tropiy cups, all ot which are twenty-five inches in height. He modestly says that he wonld like to go in for some athletic contests while he is here, though so far his time bas not been his own. A DOOTOR ARRESTED. The Warrant Charges Him With a Serious Misdemeanor. Dr. W. E. Eidenmuiler was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer J. M. But- | terworth on a warrant issued from Police Court 3, at the instance of Edmund God- chaux, secretary of the Board of Health. The prisoner is charged with violating sections 1 and 2 of order 2314, which makes it a misdemeanor ior doctors to neglect to register the birth of a child, He was released on $20 bail. e e Stabbed Eight Times. Petrions Quinones, a servant working in the boarding-house at 1008 Van Ness avenue, was taken to the Recelving Hospital last evening suffering from eight wounds inflicted by a small knife. Soon after Herman Cohn, a press- man working for Francts, Valentine & Go., gave himself up at the Central station and ad- mittea having stabbed the woman. He was very drunk and would make no more definite statement. The woman said she had been keeping company with Cohn’s brother, and lnsr. evening Cohn came to her room ana knocked. When she opened the door he com- menced to slash at her with a kuife and he cut her eight times and made his escape. The ‘wounds are not serious. i S Benevolent Hebrews.

Nordica, the Prima Donna, Has Arrived in the City. She May Make a Short Trip North After Her En- gagement Here. Americans Are H:rd to Please, She Says, for They Aiways Have the Best. Charming, fascinating, vivacious, ap- parently unwearied after her lone jour- ney overland, Mme. Lillian Nordica smil- 1ngly stepped from her carriage last night and repaired to her apartments at the Palace, where she was instantly besieged by an army of reporters. She expressed herself as delighted with her trip, having traveled by way of Denver, Salt Lake and Omaha. ““Oh, I enjoyed it so much!” she said. “The scenery was beautiful, and I passed almost all my time at the car window.” “Yes, I made two appearances in Chi- cago and was the only soloist. I expect to make a third on my return trip, assisted by my own company. {‘My- favorite role? Isolde, in ‘Tristam and Isolde’ It is a very arduous role, and requires, one might say, years of study and hard work.” Wien asked how Chicago audiences compared with those of New York she said:- I think the audiences in Chicago are most discriminating; in fact all Amer- ican audiences are very difficult to please. You see they have the very best that can be had, and I do not think they are very hospitable to newcomers. “Yes, they are harder to please than foreign audiences, and do not show their pleasure so Tuckly. Americans are very quick to make up their minds as to what they like and what they don’t like. For- eigners take more time in judging and give the artistes a little more chance for their lives,” she said, laughingly. ‘“Here we are apt to judge in one performance, and if it does not piease we have not much use for it.” Msdame was asked if *‘stage fright” ever claimed her for its own. ‘‘Stage fright! Oh, horrors, always! It just made me shiver to think of it as we Were coming here. Of course in opera one does not become so nervous; there are more distractions. There are the ‘demons’ fiddling away below and the *head devil’ waving his baton, bat in concert—oh! Every hand goes up so, and every head bobs this way and that way, and, well, 1 don’t think one ever really gets over it— stage fright I mean.’ Mme. Nordica would not speak directiy concerning the Metropolitan Opera-house affair, but incidentally observed that she thought it was unfair that “one man or woman should receive four or five times as much as his ‘running mate,’ so to speak.” “Ithink,” she saiq, “for any one artist in a company to take upon himself to dis- tribute roles or to say who shall do one thing and who the other is wrong. Re- muneration should be controlled more by the managers and less by the artists, and then there woul\l be a better understand- ing all around.” Mme. Nordica does not expect to sing in any other part of this State, although she expressed a hope that arnnxements might be perfected regarding a northern trip which sbe intended to take after her engagement in this City, but about which she appeared rather dubious. The beginning of March will see the fair American prima donna fulfilling a two months’ engagement at the Opera-house in Paris, after which she will sing in Lon- don at the Covent Garden Theater. The other members of the company arriving last night were Mme. Scalchi, the famous contralto, who is in splendid voice; Barron Berthald, tenor; J. C. Dempsey, basso; and Isidore Luckstone, pianistand conductor of the orchestra of firty. HE TOOK OYANIDE. R. Michael’s Deliberate Suicide—He Left a Letter for the Coroner. R.
