The Executive Committee of Fiity Appointed by Mayor Phelan. Expressions of Deep Sympathy at Y:sterday’s Mass-Meeting—Tele- grams Received. The mass-meeting convened yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce | hall for the purpose of devising means for | the relief of the famine-stricken districts | of India was bui sparsely attended, | though those present were fully entitled | to represent the most important interests | of San Francisco, The result of a brief and amicable debate was the adoption of a motion which empowered Mayor Phelan to appuint a committee of ways | und means to consist of fifty members for | the purpose of determining the nature of the assistance to be afforded, together with the arrangement of all other deiails | reiative to the same. Mayor Phelan bhaving been introdnced as the chairman of the meeting by Presi- dent Craig of the Chamber of Commerce saia that the failure of the crops in India had resulted in widespread famine to which the bubonic plague had afterward added its horrors. The distress was genu- ine and had assumed such proportions that the English Gevernment could not cope with it. *‘The magnitude of the calamity is such,”’ continued Mayor Phelan, ““that the sympathy of the whole world bas been enlisted in that behalf.” He added that he had acted after consul- tation with L. J. Truman, president of the Civic Federation and the Columbian | Banking Company, who had agreed to | make arrangements for the receipt of do- nations and their transmission to the | afflicted districts, Telegrams had been received from the chairman of the committee caring for the distressed in India and from the Lord Mayor of Loudon, which afforded authen- tic evidence of the real condition of affairs and the present need of relief. With these facts before them he thought the people of San Francisco could not but respond to the call made. The secretary, Captain W. L. Merry, | then read the following telegram received | from Sir Francis Maclean, Chief Justice of Bengal and chairman of the relief com- | mittee at Calcutta: NEw YORK, Jan. 26, 1897. Hon. James D.

Will be grateful contribu- | tions which will be publicly acknowledged. SIE FRANCIS MACLEAX, Chief Justice Bengal and Chairman Com- mittee, Calcutta. A second important cable message, ad- dressed to the public, was received from the Lord Mayor of London, stating tbat | he will accept aid from the public of America with'profound gratitude, and will ask the royal family to contribute to the fund. Archbishop Riordan wrote expressing regret that illness prevented his attend- | ance and adding that the object of the meeting bad his warmest sympathy and heartiest support. Later in the afternoon additional mess- ages were read from the Governors of Nebraska, lowa, Oregon and Washington proferring assistance in the shape of food- stuffs. The Right Rev. Bishop Nicholls was then requested by the chairman to address the meeting. He said that the truest recognition of the present necessity wonld be in the shabe of names wrilten at the bottom of checks and by committees vromotly proceeding to materialize as- sistance. Modern civilization had tended in a good many ways toward India. Columbus started out for that country and was surprised when his prows ran aguinst this continent of ours. Rev. Dr. Stebbins briefly deseribed the seriousness of the twofold calamity with which India bas been visited. The Enz- lish Government was deeply impressed by this calamity, and had alveady remitted | to the afilicted country the sum of a mil- | lion pounds, or $5,000,000. | Belore the question was put Rabbi Voorsanger made a few remarks. It was not necessary, he said, to ada anything to | the excellent words which had been ut- | tered, He believed in the witrdom and ex- pediency of attending to this matter at | once, and that the committee suggested | could take it in hand. “I believe,” he said, “that the real test of the humanity of the community does not come from the checks of the wealthy, but from the mites | of the poor, and in addition to tbhe com- mittee of ways and means I suggest that the people of San Francisco should be put complefely in touch witn this movement through the agency of public subscription lists, to be opened in the press of the Uity, =0 that those who cannot be reached by this committee may swell the fund with contributions from the municipality at large. I make this motion.” The original motion and the amend- ment were then carried, together with that of Rabbi Voorsanger, to the effect that the question of opening public sub- scriptions be referred to the committee and solicited through the newspapers. On motion of Rabbi Voorsanger the Mayor was appointed chairman of the committee. Professor Davidson alluded to the im- portance of transportation and of deciding at an early daté as to the nature of the relief to be afforded. ~He stated that during his travels in India in 1874 the rice was brought to Rangoon by steamers, and hud to be carried by bullock-wagons into the starving districts. Maize, or Indian corn, so far as he could ascertain, did not grow there. President Craig suggested the adv bility of leaying these details to the com- mittee, and_ Bishop Nichols further moved that the committee be empowered 1o bring the matter before the congrega- tions of the City at an early date,. The motion was adopted and the meeting adjourned. The committes subsequently chosen by Mayor Phelan is as follows, subject to revision: Frank Janes, H. E. Huntington, Herman L. E. Meyer, A.

Judge Slack Decided That It Could Not Be Collected in Court. An interesting suit was called for trial in Judge Slack’s court yesterday. It was an effort of A. R. Schafers to collect a poker debt of $345 from 8. Attell. The claim was based on a note for the amount regularly signed by Attell on the 8th of October, 1895, and drawn in favor of 8. Hoffman. Iu the answer of the defendant it was alleged that the promissory note set forth in the complaint was made and delivered to the payee therein solely for and on ac- count of money won by said payee from the defendant a gambling transaction, namely, in_2 game played with oards for money, and that no other consideration was given for the note. The testimony of all the parties to the litigation sustained this allegation and Judge Slack at once gave judgment for the defendant and directed that the plain- tiff pay the costs of court. —————————— POLIOE PENSION FUND ALL RIGHT Judge Slack Says That It Cannot Be Declared Insolvent. Judge Slack gave short shrift yesterday to Counselor Clarke's petition 10 have the police pension fund declared insolvent. The matter came up on the demurrer of the Commissioners having charge of the fund, who alleged that the court had no | to the conclusion that the present hospital | | necessary to erect a new building. | building arose. | The total receipts were $36,635 59, | will conclude the festivities. | the event a success, and one that wil! long right to consider the petition inasmuch as the law does not grant the court jurisdic- tion over such organizations. Deputy City and County Attorney Bro- beck represented the Police Commission- ers and argued in favor of the position assumed by the demurrer. Counselor Clarke made no direct reply in regard to the question of jurisdiction, but indulged in an oration touching the acts of the Commissioners in paying out money to J. F. Moran and others, In this he ignored the claim of the Commissioners that the money paid to Moran was for the purpose of deiending the suits instituted against the fund by Mr. Clarke himself. Judge Slack said it was clear that the court had no_jurisdiction of such a case, and as it would be impossible to amend the petition in a manner to bring it within the provisions of the law the pro- ceedings were ordered dismissed. @00D WORK DONE, | Annual Meeting ot the German General Benevolent Society and Election of Officers. The annual meeting of the German Gen- eral Benevolent Bociety was held last night at Druids’ Hall, Sutter street, and there was a large attendance.

FUR SEALS OF THE FAR NOATH President Jordan Tells of the “Sea Bears” of Alaska. Thousands of Pups Are Trampled to Death by the Fight- ing Bulls. How Scientists Stretched Forth Hu- mane Hands to Save Young Seals From Death. President David Starr Jordan of Stan- ford University delivered an interesting illustrated lecture al Goiden Gate Hall | last night on “The Fur Seal, or Sea Bear of Alaska.” Before touching on the subject of seals the speaker dwelt at some length on the extent of Alaska and its picturesque won- He showed views of sublime Mount St. Elias, towering 20,000 feet above the Arctic Ocean, described the marvelous volcances and volcanic islands of the far north, and tola of the wonderful rookeries infested by thousands of seals. The talk was interesting and informal throughout, and the audience greatly enjoyed the photo- opticon views, which were unusually good. The speaker gave a Incid account of the expedition of Gerassim Pribilof, and in- cluded a brief history of the tur-seal islands, which were bought from Russia in 1868 and leased to the Alaska Commer- cial Company in 1870. He showed how there has been a great decline of the herds, owing to an indiscriminate killing. /| One of the interesting fsatures of the lecture was the educator’s account of how he and other scientific explorers went to great pains to arrange many of the rook- eries so that the young pups will not be killed during the fights of the bulls during the coming season. “Dauring the fighting season among the bulls,” said the speaker, “they trample thonsands of pups to death. On one bat- tlefield alone we counted 14,900 dead pups that had been tramped upon by the an- gered bulls in their deadly combats. We threw hundreds of big stones over the rookery so that the pups will be protected hereafter.” In conclusion the lecturer said he hoped for an amicable and_honorable settlement at an early date of the many vexatious questions that have arisen between Great %ritnln and this country on the seal ques- tion. FOR HUSBAND AND FATHER. Mary E. Hagarty and Her Daughter Sue the Southern Pacifio, Delmas & Shortridge yesterday insti- tuted an action at law on behalf of Mrs. Mary E. Hagarty and Mary Margaret Hagarty, a minor, against the Southern Pacific Company for $50,000 damages. Mrs. Hagarty is the widow and Mary Mar- garet is the daughter of Henry Hagarty, who was killed by an accident on the rail- road near Palo Alto on the 9th of last Oc- tober. The complaint sets forth that on the date mentioned Henry Hagarty was em- ployed by the company as a locomotive engineeron an engine attached toa freight train, and when the train was near the station of Palo Alto, by reason of the “negligence and defective manner in which the track, sidings, switches and ways of said railroad were constructed,” | and by reason of the negligence of the de- | fendant, the engine was wrecked and Hagarty was, without fault on his part, so injured that he died. At the time of his death Mr. Hagarty was 36 years of age and in the enjoyment | of perfect health.’ He was a railroad en- gineer by occupation, and his services were then, and for a long time prior thereto, had been worth and he had been actually receiving $125 a month, THE QUACKENBUSE SUIT.

Superintendent Corballey’s Res- ignation Accepted by the Directors. Dividend No. 4, cf $30,000, Was De. clared—No Change in the Train Service. A change in management has been adopted for this year by the directors of the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail- road. The directors met last Wednesday aflernoon. At that time there was the first dull thud of the official ax and the head of one of the most prominent officers of the road rolted into the list of the un- employed. Official titles were metamor- phosed, being added to and subtracted from, and more work was partialed out among a decreased number of officials. It is understood among the employes of the railroad that the policy of retrenchment is to be pursued farther and they do not know exactly where they are at. Itis feared the guillotine will be run along the main line and branches and sidetracked to do some work at way sta- tions and division points. Superintendent W. G. Corballey is the man who presented his resignation to General Manager H. C. Whiting, and through him to President A. W. Foster. It followed the usual red-tape methods and got finally before the board of directors, where it was acted upon. ‘W. G. Corballey has been with the road 80 jong that he has almost grown gray in its service. His connection with the sys- tem began as a peanut butcher. Next he emerged into public view as a brakeman. his next promotion brought him a train, and the honors of superintendent of the whole system were finally bestowed upon him, which position he has held a number of years. Thera is said to be not a man. woman or child, a eross-tis or a fish-plate from Tiburon to Ukiah that he does not know. The other changes are as follows: In addition to his duties as president President Koster was also made general manager. H. C. Whiting resigned as gen- eral managerand was appointed general superintendent. The office of superin- tendent was abolished. Mr. Whiting’s headquarters will be at San Rafael or Tiburon. been appointed assistant superintendent in addition to his duties as civil engineer. At the meeting the directors also de- clared dividend 4 of 50 cents per share, or $30,000. The official changes will not in_the least affect the operation of the road. President Foster said, in fact, that it is the aim of the company to improve the service. No action was taken in regard to a reduction in the price of commutation tickets. A NEW LEADING LADY. Miss Lorena Atwood to Temporarily Replace Miss Victory Bateman at the Grand. The leading lady who temporarily re- places Miss Bateman at the Grand is Miss Lorena Atwood, who is reported to be a very clever young woman, and who has held several responsible positions in East- ern companies, In private life this lady is Mrs. Clarence Arper, who is well known in local theatrical circles, 1t has not yet been decided who will per- manently play leads at this theater, but the management are in communication with several, and will soon make known their choice. e e ——— Asa Fisk Kecognizes His Son.
