BIG Ji FLED FOR HIS LIFE The Giant Mongolian Has Left This Field of Strife. He Became Alarmed as the Price on His Head Increased. The Coroner’s I-quest Threw No Further Light on the Murder of “Litte Pete.” “‘Big Jim,"” the Chinese plutocrat and hated rival of the murdered *Little Pete,” has fled the town for his life. The giant Mongolian owns a clubhouse on Waverly place, various business houses and banks in this City, but he cast business aside when he learned that §$5000 had been of- fered for his hea Wednesday last he caught a train and surrounded by his guards rolled over the rails to his farm near Fresno. Full well he knew that lurking in the dimly lighted streets and alleys of China- town were scores of highbinders thirsting for his biood. Many of the pagan friends ing and anxious to cut short lie are strangers to the ed, respectable Chinese element. flocked from interior and coast towns when they learned that there was blood money to be earned in this City. Everywhere “‘Big Jim” went in this City be was ciosely guarded by a Cauca and never permitted him out of his sight. The strain on his nerves, however, soon became too great, and he decided to leave the field of contention and strife. Whether he is safer on his ranch than in this City remains to be seen. The Fresno Chinamen have offered $1000 to the man who will slay nim, and it is safe to that. many a hatchetman will stalk around the “Big Jim” ranch ready to assassinate its owner when opportunity offers itself. S THE INQUEST. No Further Light Thrown on the Murder of Little Pete. The inquest on the body of Little Pete ally established two facts. First th le Pete is dead and second that be murdered while in a barber-shop. ‘urther than this nothing was presented to throw any light upon the trageds. hose witnesses who or may not e possessed knowledge as to the dark deed and darker motives that prompted it knew enough to keep silent as to im poriant poinis. A proper regard for thei own safety had something to do with their silence. Autopsy Physician Morgan discussed the position of the fatal bullets. George Welch, a private watchman, tes: that he was in a tailor near by and saw two men running away from the scene of the shooting. He led the officers to 12° Waverly place, where the men went, and found them. The men were arrested. Welch believed that the two Chinese (brought to the inquest) were the men he saw and who were arrested. Won Lung, who was being shaved at the time the shooting took place, testitied: that | some one went into the shop and began shooting. His barber ran away and he followed. Wong Chung, the barber, testi- fied that he was walking into an adjoining room for a towel when the shooting began. He aid not know who did it, although he heard four shots. He thought that there shooting, but he was not sure. In fact ne was like the other witnesses and not sure of anything in particular. After hstening to such testimony for an hour or two the jury turned in the follow- ing stereotyped verdict: We tind that Fong Ching, aged 34 yea: ns China, occupation merchant, re de Washington street, City and County Francisco, came to Lis death January 23, at 817 Washington street, said City and County, from shock from gunshot wounds, and we further find the wounds were inflicted by DErsons or & Person unknown to us. WL PRESERVE PEACE Chie! Crowley Details Two Hun- dred Patrolmen to China- town. The Officers Instructed {o Make Ar- rests at the Slightest Indica- tion of Trouble. The prospects of a Happy New Year are very slim for those residents of the Chi- nese quarter who cannot enjoy themselves according to the strictest ideas of law and order as interpreted by vigilant members of the police force. Two hundred patrolmen under tkeim- mediate control of ten sereeants and the entire detail commanded by Captain Witt- man will be distributed through China- town. The men were instructed yester- day afternoon that not the slightest breach of the peace will be tolerated, and congregations of hard-looking Celes- ials will be dispersed with more vigor than gentlenes; Two patrol wagons are to be in attend- ance to carry away the petty malefactors who are expected to be influenced by Chinese ein to celebrate 100 boisterously. 1f the batchetmen take any part in this year’s festivities they will have to show a remarkable degree of caution, for with the men to go on duty there to-day, many of whom are sirangers to Chinatown, every Chinaman will be an object of sus- picion, ana the known members of the murderous tongs will bs shadowsd by the men of experience in the Chinese squad. One hundred men will go on duty at 7 o'clock this morning, and the other hun- dred wil] serve at night. SOUTHSIDE OLUB. At a Meeting on Thursday Considera- ble Business Was Transacted. A meeting of the Southside Improve- ment Club was held in the parlors of the Hughes House, 214 Third, Thursday even- g, &t which Dr. Tullio A. Rottanzi, the esident, presided, with the following property - owners in attendance: J. C. Meussdorffer, 8. Schwartz, Jultus Lemle, P. H. Cahill, Thomas F. Mullee, R. E. (von:. Barney Jacobs, A. Becker, Leon Bamuel, . Goodman, B. Katchinski, R. A. Cole, C. attell, J. 8. Elliott, J. M. trauss, A discussion was had over the general improvement of Third street and its co- operation with Kolsom street, which has been recently declared a boulevard. With iy LS T S this object in view the foliowing commit- | ByesoricInst., 6 O'Farrel, teach, treat, * ] re several men in the party that did the | tee was appointed to co-operate with the Folsom-street Improvement Club: Leon Samuels, P. H. Cahill, R. £. Cole, J. M. Strauss, L Scowartz and Dr. T. A. Rot- tanzi. The obstinancy of the property- owners on the block from Market 1o Mis- sion street, with a few exceptions, was commented on, and in order to try and persuade those stiff-necked ones to join in with the others a commiitee of three, con- sisting of B. Katchinski, A. Bakerand C. Attell, was appointed 1o interview them and induce them to_join with the others. It was announced that Third street, from Mission to Harrison, would be light- ed with electric lights insice of a week, and that it would be fit and proper to bave a celebration on that occasion.. To carry this idea out the chair ap- pointed B. Jacobs, Julius Lemle, J. C. Meussdorffer, J. H. Cavanagh and W. 8. Hughes a committee to make all suitable arrangements, J. M. Strauss offered a resolution in- dorsin ; the 23 cent carfare biil now be- fore the Leslature, and also a vote of thanks to the San Fraucisco delegation for its support of the same. Owing to other duties Dr. Rottanzi re- signed his seat as president. This led to a general election all around, with the fol- lowing resuit: Rienzi Hughes, president B. Katchinsky, vice- president; 8. Schwartz, secre.ary ; Bernard Jacobs, treas- urer, and P. H. Cahill, sergeant-at-arms. The new president was authorized to appoint an executive committee of twenty, the names of whom will be ap- nounced at the next meeting. SUPERISDAS WOSDERE Then They Refused to Approve Bills for Turkey and Fixings. A Bill for Surgical Instruments Failed, Along With Quail and Asparagus. Supervisor Rottanzi pulled outs whet- stone at the City Hall yesterday ana sharpened a long-oladed knife, and then went into the several supervisorial com- mittees in which he is mncluded and pre- pared to do a slashing business. He had not been sitting long in the Committee on Health and Police when a bill of Waller Bros. amounting to §254 90 came along. This was for surgical in- struments furnished to the Receiving Hospital. The bill had been approvei by Dr. Weill. Supervisor Delaney and Super- | visor Rottanzi casta side glance at this | bill when it was up before the committee | last week. During the week, by agree- | ment, Supervisor Rottanz: went about to | inquire into the reasonableness of the es. | ound out,” said Supervisor Rot- esterday, “that the same instru- for | i an be bought 1n_open mark $168 05, which is fference of $8 | Where there was any question I inguired | the price of the imported instruments, putting them in at the full price. The difference still remained nearly $90.” The committee slso learned another si act, which was that the bill of Waller Bros. nad been 0 K'd” by Dr. Weill before he had opene. tlie cases containing | the instruments. The result of this knowledge was thst the committee re- | fused to approvk the bill. | Sam L. Waller of the firm of Waller | Bros. made an explanation of the transac- | ton. He was authorized by the old Board | of Supervisors to purchase $600 worth of | instraments for the Receiving Hospital. | The instruments were to be seiected by | Dr. Weill. The lasi-named City official | would not consent to purchase the instru- | ments of any one except Bervet Bros., whose store is near the new City Hall | Waller went to one otber place with Dr, | Weill and proposed to visit others, but could not persuade Dr. Weill to go with | him. Consequently there was no com- | petition in prices. Mr. Waller charged 15 per cent profit for himseif, taking a trade discount of 10 per cent and a profit ebove the open market rate of 5 per cent. This | he considered only reasonable pay for his trouble. He will try to make the dealers take the instruments, back for the City will not pay any such price for them. Waller was exonerated from all blame. Dr. Rottanzi was instructed to buy the needed instruments. Shortly after this happening the Finance Committee sat. It opened its eyes when | Dr. Rottanzi entered objection to a bill of luxuries from the Almshouse amounting to $106 But all the members of the committee involuntarily smacked their ips as they thought of the delicacies which the Almshouse people have en- | joyed. | For on the bill, which represented only | supplies furnished from December 2 to December 30, irclusive of both dates, were mentioned turkey and cranberries repeat- edly, the latter presumably having been converted into a prime article of cran- berry sauce to make the turkey slip down official throats more easily. The bill omitted to mention the price of turkey per pound or chicken per pound or any- thing else per pound. The viands were simply furnished in delicious bulk with- out any unpalatable details on the bill to clog the delights of feasting. There was a long list of delicacies. Mouths watered av the thought of as- paragus, pineapples, bananas, Japanese oranges, Isabeila grapes, black grapes, figs, oysters, turkey, quail, chickens--and cranberry sauce. The bill was laid over to be further considered. STILL NO SWANHILDA. British Ship Burmah Arrives From Newcastle, but Started Little Earlier Than the Squure-xigger. The Swanhilda will not come in and everybody who takes any interest in the capture of Butler, the so-called murderer, is getting disgusted. ‘“‘Square-riggers” {bave been reported time and again, but on almost every occasion the vessel has proven to be either a coaster ora bark, while the long-looked-for vessel is a four- masted ship. The following messace, dated “Farallon Island, January 28, 1897, 11:45 A. M.,” was received by A. Carlisle, 417 Monigomery sireet, yesterday: Square-rigged ship just hove in sight about fitteen miles southwest. Last night at sunset sighted & ship to soutnward. Too thick and .dark to make her out. W. A. BEEMAN. Mr. Carljsle has a number of carrier pigeons out at the lighthouse station and every ‘'square-rigger” sighted means the liberation of one of the birds. They go direct to the owners' lofts in Berkeley and from there the news is telephoned to 8an Francisco. The ship reported by the carrier pigeon upon coming close in was reported by the Merchants’ Exchange to be the British snip Burmak. sixty-nine days from New- castle, N. 8. W. She started four days anead of the Swanhilda. The Burmah reported having had south- erly and easterly winds to latitude 38 deg. south, westerly winds to latitude 30 deg. south, northeust and easterly winds from latitude 30 deg. south to 29 deg. north, longitude 14 deg. 34 min. west. She crossed the equator on the last day of the year, in longitude 124 deg. west. From that time and place to this port she had westerly and southeast winds. EURETE At the Chutes. The Chutes will reopen this afternoon, and till further notice everythingat the Haight- street grounds will be in active operation. This afternoon there will be a potato race, Ordway, the trick bicyclist. will verform, and Brown ‘will coast down ihe chutes on his wheel.

FATHER YORKE - CRACKING NUTS Lectured to a Crowded House in Scuth San Francisco. His Purpsse Was to Show That Catholics Founded Religious Liberty. Y. M. I. Members Occupied the Stage and There Was a Solo by Mrs. Trey. “Nuts to Crack” was the title of Rev. Father Yorke's lecture last night in the Opera-house in South San Francisco. It was delivered to “‘standing-room only,” under the auspices of Younz Men’s In- stitute No. 32. A solo was sung by Mrs. Troy. ¥ Past Grand President Frank Kierce. presided, and in his speech introducing Father Yorke he reviewed the history of the Y. M. I. Prominant members of In- stitute No. 32 were seated on the stage. Father Yorke reviewed the history of the Romaa Catholic church from its in- ception almost down to aate. One object of his lectures, be said, was education. Many Protestants were sincere in their beliet and antipathy against the Catholic church, and he desired to present facts which would enlighten them. The Catholic chuich was not opposed to edu- cation. It did not want to keep the people ignorant in order that it might more effectually rule over them. The Catholic church had taught the barbarians of early history, and had 1t not been for that church very little learning would have been preserved to the world. The word of God and works of art had been saved by the monks. *It has been said that the man who lifts up his voice against che Roman Catholic church owes it to that church that he can speak at all,” he said. “The schools and universities of Eu- rope,” be continued, ‘‘were founded by the Catholic church, among them Ox- ford and Cambridge. The same was true in France, Germany and Italy. While nations and empires had passed away the Catholic church has continued through 2000 years and was growing stronger. Still there were people who claimed that it was played out and could not exist in free America. Before the reformation and be- fore the star of liberty had shown itself in the Western world a Catholic had pre- vailed upon a Catholic Queen to pawn her jew els, and had planted a Catbolic cross, with_Catholic 1rayers, on the shore of the New World. The Catholics had been,” he said, *{oremost in learning—in religion, in exploration, in daring deeds and colonization for Christ, church ana civil- ization. Catholics had discovered and ex- plored nearly all sections of America and been first in California.” How the enemies of the Catholic church got it into therr heads that the church is opposed to liberty was a hard nut to crack. The Catholics had been first in this country for relizious liberty. Jesuits seemed to be a nightmare to Protestants, who seemed to fear that if the Catholics got in the majority they would start the fires of the inquisition again. England, up to the sixteenth century,was a Catholic country. He snid that during the time Luther was stirring up Europe Henry VIIL who had beén called “a royal ass and a kingly swine,” became enamoured of another woman and sought to putaway his wife. The Catholicchurch does not recognize divorce, and the Pops allowed the whole Kingdom of England 10 g0 1nto schism and heresy rather than do wrong even to the smallest of Christ’s children. That was the beginning of Protestantism in England. The peo- ple were turned into Protestants and persons were burned who did not agree with that church. Sects multiplied and fought each other for 200 vears. Some tired of persecution got away from England, sailed for America and founded colonies, seeking in the wilderness freedom of conscience for themselves, but careful not to allow it to anybody else. Though Puritans, Quakers and other sects guarreled with each other, all agreed that the Papist should huve no show. Catholic priests actually laid down their lives for the crime of say- ine mass. “In 1683 ;Lord Calvert, afterward Lord Baltimore, and otbers from England, saile: up the Chesapeake, landed at a place cailed 8t. Mary’s, founded a_colony and what i8 now known as the State of Maryland,” continued Father Yorke, “They were supreme in that colony; they | bad a chaster from England. It was this colony of Maryland which made religion free to Protestants alike, where the perse- cuted Puritan or Quaker might seek a safe refuge, gathered in one brotherhood under that freedom of worship which is the highest star in our flag.” The speaker said that after Roger Williams, who was a Baptist, returned from England with a charter that no man should be interfered with in his religions belief the first thing that was done was to pass an act that Catholics be deprived of ail rights, and _all Catholics were disen- franchised. The lectvrer said the first declaration of liberty in this country was made by Catholics, and added: ‘'l would like to bave them crack that nut for me.” Thomas Dungan, a Catholic, made Gov- ernor of New York by Charles II, put for- ward a chaster of religious liberty, but, said the speaker, w en a Protestant was appointed in Dungan’s place the charter was repealed. Father Yorke drew from history to show that Catholics had taken a leading part in the Revolation and the War of the Re- bellion, and that Washington recognized that fact in regard to the Revolution, “Above all, thank God,” he said, **Catho- lics are tolerant.” Fatner Yorke promised to reply to Rey. Mr. Coyle of Oakiand in a lécture he wil] deliver soon in Oakiand. HUGD GEROLIS BECTL The San Francisco Barytone Is Very Warmly Re- ceived. A large number of music lovers were at- tracted to Golaen Gate Hall last night to hear the singing of Hugo R. Herold, who recently returned home to this City after winning a number of musical successes in Europe. The choice of programme showed that the California singer’s taste inclines more toward concert than toward opera. Some of Mr. Herold’s friends were disappointed that he had not given them a single operatic aria_in arranging last night's programme, but the selections showed such culture and refined taste that no lover of music had anything to regret in any of the numbers. _ The vocal part of the concert was all contributed by Hugo Herold, his clusters of songs coming between instrumental numbers. The recital opened with Adam’s famous “Cantique de Noel,” the robust style of which suited the singer’s voice admirably. Mr. Herold isa rather deep barytone, his voice being full and even throughout its entire compass, and it shows great cultivation and finish. The *“Cantique de Noel” brought the enthusiastic encore it deserved, and the singer responded by re- peating it, using the English instead of the French text. The first cluster of songs consisted of Gormng Thomas’ *“Dream wancies,” C. Paston Cooper’s “*Where ?” and Gounod’ “The Fountain Mingies With the Rive: They were all excellently sung, the final one being the best number for displaying the singer’s voice. In response to another warm encore Mr. Herold responded by re- peating “Wh re?”’ In the next song cluster Schumann’s “Ich Grolle Nicht,” and Rubinstein’s *‘Du Bist Wie Eine Blume” were especiaily well suneg. As anencore Mr. Herold re- peated Grieg’s “Ein Schwan.” The con- cert also inc.uded songs by Quaranta and Tosti and Schubert’s “Erl King.” In uil the four languages, Enclish, French, German and Italian, Mr. Herold's enunciation was equally distinct and ex- pressive. He was sympathetically accom- panied by Miss Genevieve Maroney. The instrumental part of the programme was contrivuted by Minetti and Roderick Herold, who opened the concert with Grisg’s sonata in F for violin and piano. Later in the programme Mr. Minetti's playing of Sarasate’s “Spanish Dances” and Wieniawski’s **Airs Russes” won him thusiasiic encores. AMONGTHEWORKINGMEN A Big Mass-Meeting to Protest Against the Sailor Laws., The Southwick Convict Goods Indorse¢—Tenement-House Maie Cigars. Bil Beveral matters of interest were dis- cussed at the meeting of the San Francisco Labor Council last evening. The first was a Tesolution passed recently by the Ironmolders’ Union indorsing the South- wick bill, now pending before Congress. The resolution recited that the industries of California have been for years cripplsd by tue unjust and unfair competition with the Eastern State prisons that have shipped their convict goods into the Pacific Coast markets and sold the same as free goods, but at ruinously low prices. Many buy these articies under the impression that they are the product of free men. The Southwick bill provides that all such goods be marked or branded so that the public may know what it is purchasing. ‘Ibe resolution says: Resolved, By Ironmolders’ Union No.164 of San Francisco, that we earnestly request the Congressional Committee on Labor aud Capl- tal to report favorably on said Southwick bill, now in its possession, at an early date, that the same may be adopted by Congress and go into operation at once, 80 thatour people may have the much-needed relief it will'afford. ‘The council indorsed the resolution and the secrewary was direeted to send copies of the same to the committee named and 1o a!l of the Pucific Coast representatives at Washington. The delegates from the Sailors’ Union stated that on next Wednesday evening there will be a mass-meeting at Metro- politan Temple, the purpose of which is 10 protest against enactments in the mari- time laws now being made by Congress. Ed Rosenberg stated that Seuator Frye of Maine is aoing all in his power to revive the sailor slavery of former days, when seamen could be flogged at the direction of brutal masters and be imprisoned in American ports on the slightest excuse and where no crime is committed. He cited the case of the folir Arago sailors on this coast, who were imprisoned for nine months simply because they declined to sail trom a northern port after having signed articles in this port. The Unit-d States Supreme Court decided in favor of the ship-owners, and it is likely that the men will be imprisoned several months longer when their cases are disposed of in the United States District Court. The meeting will be addressed by Mayor Phelan, James Barry, H. H. Hutton and other prominent speakers, who will voice a protest against the injustice to the sea- faring men. It was decided to hold the meeting under the auspices of the Labor Councit. The offic: rs nominated at the last meet- ing, as puvlishel in THE CaLL, were elected and installed. Michael Raphael, business agent of the cigar-makers' unions of New York, deliv- ered an interesting address upon the sub- ject of tenement-house-made cigars. He spoke particularly of one Jarge firm that employs thousands of persons who live in the vilest of surroundings and scarcely earn $0 a week when the whole family la- bors. The cigars made under these con- ditions are regarded and sold by the mil- lions on the Pacific Coast as the best. He is making a fight against the firm in ques- tion because the firm refuses to betier the condition of its employes. The council passed a resolution indorsing the move- ment of the biue label crusade that Mr. Raphael represents. HER FINAL REST IN LAUREL HILL The Remains of Mrs. Mary E. Flood Laid in the Vault. Only Four Mourners Belonging to the Family Followed the Casket. No Will Known to Exist, as the Prop- erty of the Deceased Had Been Transferred to H-r Children. The last sad rites of the church and the final adieu of the immediate relatives of the late Mrs. Mary Emma Flood, widow of the deceased millionaire, James C. Flood, were held at the brownstone resi- dence of the Flood family yesterday fore- noon at 10:30 o’clock. The Rev. Father Wyman of 8t. Mary’s Church, on Dupont and California streets, conducted the services in the parlors of the mansion, after which he withdrew, leaving but the immediate relatives to bid a final adieu. There was no coneourse of visitors, and the usual formalities attending the fune- ral of the rich, such as honorary pallbear- ersand floral offerings, were entirely dis- pensed with. N. Gray, the undertaker, provided the body-bearers, and with two black horses attached to the hearse, the casket was silently borne to its last resting place in Laurel Hill cemetery, followed by four carriazes. Two of these contained James L. Flood, Richard H. Follis and his son James H. and James E. Walsh, the privatesecretary of James L. Flood. The other two car- riages contained the male servants and the manager of the San Mateo residence. There were no ladies present. Miss Flood remained at home. There were no services of any kind at the cemetery. The front siab in one of the niches in the Flood mausolenm had been removed and the casket was placed, in its last receptacie beside the one contain- ing the body of James C. Flood. As 1ar as could be ascertained from Mr. Walsh, who is thoroughly conversant with the business of the Flood family, there is no will left by the deceased, for the simple reason that there was nothing to convey by will as Mrs. Flood had some time ago deeded ail her realty to her two children, and the bestowal of all her ver- sonal property to the same persons was sufficient in itself to convey title and pos- OO FFIE BN After a Stormy Meeting They Oppose, His Bills to In- crease Pay. . There was a stormy meeting of the Iroquois Club last night and it was nearly midnight when the warring factions dis- persed. The friends of the Police and Fire de- partments were numerous at the meeting. Police Court clerks, Fire Department em- ployes and many from the Street Depart- ment packed the halls and a desperate effort was made to have the ciub indorse those bills now vending in the Legislature which seek to increase the salaries of de- tectives and of nearly everybody in the Fire Department. After a long, neated debate the Fire and Police aepartments were defeated, except that the club favored a paid Fire Depart- ment and recommended that Fire Chief Sullivan’s salary be raised to $5000. Joseph Leggett and Raymond Robins made arguments against the proposed bilis. Mr. Legeett said it wonld be crimi- nal folly to pay out more money at a time when the public schools are about to close for lack of funds. Hesaid that the pro- posed measure would increase the e: penses of the City nearly $200,000 per annum. The attempt to have the elub indorse the pending bills was defeated by a vote ol 4l 1o 34. e e Astronomical Lecture. At the meeting of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, to be held at the California Academy of Sciences this evening, Charles B. Hill will deliver & lecture on the recent de- velopments in sstronomical photoeraphy, illustrated by lantern slides. Charles Burck: halter will read n paper on the next total solar cclipse in India.

It is the element of success in all his undertakings. The snap and vigor that is the characteristic of some men is the gift that nature has bestowed upon all mankind who has not abused-her laws. Some men have never experienced .the strength of nerve, the courage and self-confidence that mark the manly man. They have wasted their vitality in early indiscretions. Others have felt the fire of youth only to lose it by dissipation and excesses. These are the men who look with envy upon the man who has preserved the gift of nature, and the feeling of despair at their own weakness destroys the little confidence they have in their own abilities. Young than, is this your condition? Then why don’t you listen to the voices of thousands who have been cured? Why go on from day to day realizing that you are losing your nerve force, your manhood, when you can see a cure within your grasp? DR.
