8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1597. A START THAT WAS NOT A START Paying No Heed to thei Recall Flag Suisun Won Cleverly. | 1 Five Out of Six Favorites Suc- cessful at Emeryville Yes- terday. i | | | i Summertime Too Sp2edy for Moylan aad Chartreuse II—Daylight | Won at 0dds of 20 to 1. i The recall flag used by Starter Ferguson in connection with the starting gate at Oakland track came very close to causing | a serious entanglement in the second race | vesterday. In one of the line-ups Mr. | Ferguson pressed the lever and the bar- | sier was released. Marionette wheeled and was left,j upon seeing which the | tarter waived his recall flag, but his assistant apparently did not notice it and failea to lower his. H. Martin, on Ap- plause, started to pull his mount up, but, | seeing Latah and Suisun well under way, | took after them. Not until the horses | { had covered Lalf the distance did the judges in the stand press the electric but- ton notifying the crowd in the ring that | the horses were off. Inadrive Suisun the 7 to 10 favorite, ridden by ‘‘Pebble” | Thompson, beat Applause out half a length. Quitea crowd collected uround the stand, thinking that it might be de- clared no race, which, however, did not oceur. 1f starters would stand less of the dilly- dallying tactics resorted to byj ockeys at the post and discipline them more se- verely the recall flag is entirely superflu- ous, only causing tedious delays at the post, during which some of the more learned of the riders look for a *'shade’ the best of it. The jockey not willing to accept sn even breskaway from the post with his mount should be severely pun- ished. The week’s racing opened most auspic ously for the favorites at the course over the bay, five out of the six delegated to carry the coin returning home in front. The track was still heavy and slow timo | marked the running of the different events. There was a fair attendance, with an apparent dullness in the money mar- | ket. Frank Phillips' mare, Marjorie, was triea over a mile and captured the open- | ing mile run from a cheap field in the | easiest possible fashion. She wasa 6to 5 choice and taking the lead in the stretch, led Pollock out by five lengths, Last Chance ¥ a fair third, The racy Wheel of Fortune opened a 6 to 5 favorite for the mile and a sixteenth | purse event, but dubious reports circulated of her liking for the heavy zoing seut the price back to twos, which latter was cut down to & to 5. The oads against Stentor were forced down by Eastern money {rom threes to 9 to 5. Hennessy on the Wheel went to the front as soon as the field was sent away, and never headed, won, ridden out ourths of a length alead of Sten Thorpe landea Peter the Second | a distant third. | There were but four starters in the mile and a guarter handicap. Imp. Sain, the black colt, with 98 pounds up opened a | 710 5 choice, but a heavy play on Ostler | Joe, delegated to carry 109 pounds, sent the odds agamnst the three-vear-old back to 2101, Ostler Jjoe, which closed an 8 105 choice, took the lead from Sain in the run | rome from the head of the stretca and | won bandily. The Bachelor also passed the black youngster the last furiong, capturing vlace honors. Morte Fonse made a bid at the end, but could not get up. The last time out Daylight made a very poor showing, but yesterday was in fine fertle. He went to the posta 15 to 1 shot ior the fifth event, a mile selling affair, and in a drive downed the 4 to5 favorite Formal over halfa length. Bueno was an indifferent third. In Summertime, Moylan and Chartreuse a very likely trio of sprinters lined up in the final six and a half furlong run, The first named mare wasa pronounced | 310 5 favorite in the ring and, passing Moylan and the cbestnut mare in the stretch, finished half alength in advance | of Moylan at the wire with a pound or so | in reserve. e Notes. There will be a spectal maich race run | (538)Unity on Wednesday between Schillerand Morte Fonse at two miles for a $500 stake. L. Rockman, secretary of the Fresno Jockey Club, visited the track yesterdsy, and stated that his club would give a run- ning-race meeting beginning April 29 and ending May 1, Four or mote races will be run off each day.

Installator and race—Benamela, Unity and Three Nearly 2000 of Their Countrymen on the Coast—Their Story of the Struggle of Crete. The Greeksof this City mean to lend all the assistance possible to their brothersin Crote in their struggle against Turki Last night the committee from the Hel- lenic Socisty met at the residence of C. Demetrik to make arrangements for hold- ing a meeting of Grecks and giving a ban- quet and ball. Not only do they intend to raise money, but if need be they will send a company of resident Greeks to aid in fightlng the Turks. The committee consisted of A. Kosts, M. D. Vanvales, C. Demetrik, N. Damianakis, P. Vrettos and P. Pandazes. “There are about 1000 Greeks in Califor- | nia, 600 of whom live in San Francisco,” said Mr. Damianakis; “in Oregon there are about 300, in Washington 200, in British Columbia 200, and in Arizona probably 100, making = total of about 1800 on this coust. We are all anxious to do what we can to help the Cretans. “Few peonle understand much about the presenttrouble. Theisland of Crete, in the Mediterranean Sea, is about 300° miles square and has about 300,000 people, a fifth of whom are Turks and_the others Chris- tians of the Orthodox Greek church. For 427 years prior to 1821 Greece was under the dominion of Turkey. Then she re- beiled and all of 1t secured independence except Crete. The war had lasted six years. “*Since then there has been revolution after revoiution in Crete, I think no less than six to the present time. The last one was in July and lasted till September. it was ended by Turkey agreeing to give Crete a parliament and governor and re- ceiving an annual stipend from Crete. But Turkey did not keep the agreement and hus recently commenced slanghtering the Christians the same as she has \bith. erto done in Armenia and Crete.” The committee is to secure a hall and complete other arrangements for the work that is laid out.

Jones and Mascherini went forth to com- plete the list of names of those designed | to carry out the plans of the league in this | City. “I shall appoint the list of iifty de- sired,” said Mayor Phelan, “as soon as the Cuban League in this City gives me the names of that many sympathizers. While I am busy with affairs nearer at nome, I am cognizant of the fact that it is our duty to recognize the efforts of patriots elsewhere who are struggling for recognition.” The efiorts of the committee have re- sulted in secvring the required list of nemes, and the following names will con- stitute the official committee to act in conjunction with the New York league and similar bodies throughout the United States: D.

W. 8. Bcott, who practiced law at Kan- ses City in the early cowboy days, is billed to speak at the mass-meeting. Referring to the Cuban movement yesterday he said : “Itis a shame that the Cubans have not long ago been granted their freeaom. It was promised them by capitulation many years ago, and I am for the cause of the oppressed in every land. They may call these people negroes or what they will, but their hearts are all right, and they have learned the difference between slay- ery and freedom.” Ex-Treasurer Reis, member of the Pioneers, sai T am heart and soul with the Cubans, asis my friend Jewetto! this society, and as are all other lovers of lib- erty in its best form.” Colonel A. Andrews said: “Iam heart and soul with the cause of liberty, but I cannot take any active part, owing to business engagements.”” R. P. Clement—This is one of the purest and best movements ever begun in San Francisco. The cause of humanity is back of it and I heartily subscribe to the declaration. Trie CALLis nobly carying out here what the great leaders of thought are doingz East. Coonet Charles L. Taylor—I am not for noisy belligerency, buc I favor every just means of gaining for Cuba the liberty she 8o richly deserves. Judge F. W. Van Reynegom—It will be a pleasure to serve on the committes and do all I can for struggling Cuba. Dr. D. D. Lustig—The Cubans are en- gaged in a struggle for liberty and every honest Aimerican heart must beat in sympathy for them, H. W. Hutton—You may write me down for freedom everywhere. I think Cuba ought to have the aid and sympathy of the great American people. The following letter from Sacramento, received yesterday, shows the feeling hat prevails throughout the State on the Cuban question : SACRAMENTO, Cal., Feb. 13, 1897. Mr. Faust Mascherini, Sceretary Cuban League, 2006 Mason Street, San Francisco, Cal—DEAR Str: 1 notice my letter of February 9 appears in THE CaLL the following day. Iam very much pleased o see THE CALL take such & deep interest in arousing the people to action in Cuba’s beball. The people of California are brave and true 1o auy noble cause, so they willbe in this, only show them how to pro- ceed. Having always manifested a deep in- terestin the Cuban war, and having studied the situation from a neutral and unprejudiced standpoint, 1 do not hesitate to'express my views in & most decided manner. 1 have gone over the history of Spanish con- quests, from the discovery of Cuba by Colum- bus up to the present time; and have reviewed Spanish- invasions and conquests in Mexico, South Americaand Cubs, including the ten e failed to dis- cover a single instance wherein Spain has been in the right or acted in and for s | exchequer occasioned by the loss of her South | American colonies by taxing Cuba to destn. noble cause. No one can read the history of these corquests without a shudder of horror. | In a period of sbout four hundred years Spain hes siaughtered millions of people, o say nothing ol the loss ot her own subjects. She | bas plundered the countries of her conquost | of billions of dollars and devastated and de- stroyed biilions more in property. Treachery and deceit have been her prinoipal mode of warfare, Her sole object in & msjority of in- stances was for mere plunder. Indeed, she es- tablished e regular line of yessels betweenSpain and the seat of conquest, carrying soldiers and munitions of war ome direction and the spoils of her victims the other This was kept up for over 200 years s & regu- lar business. In the province of Peru alone millions of nettves were murdered and billions of treasure taken. Oune of the many atrocities committed was during this conquest, when Pizarro treacherously murdered Atehaulpa, the Incs, or ruler, of Peru, on the 15th of No- | vember, 1532. Atahsulps aunounced his in- tention of visiting the Christian commander, and Pizarro arranged and perpetrated a black actof treachery thatcompares in many respects with that of his brother in butchery, Wesler, | ¥ho recently betrayed and murdered that | brave and gallant general, Antonio Maceo. The Governor of Peru, suspecting nothing, came into the great square of Cusco in grand regal procession. | He was suddenly attacked by Pizarro’s soldiers, who were in ambush, his escort being murdered in cold blood (they be- | ing unarmed) and the Governor made a pris- | ouer. The Governor was promised his liberty for a ransom in gold. After having secured $4,000,000, and having ceducted -the royal fiith, tho invaders divided the remainder | among themseives and then murdered the | doner of all this wealth, | This same line of policy was pursued in Brazil, Mexico and all countries visited by these Spanish highweymen and bushwhackers. For a period of over 250 years this nation of | bull-fighters carried on a war of extermination | and plunder, for no other purpose -than their | | Breed for gold. To-day they are carrying on | the same tactics in the Philippine Isiands ena Cuba, only in the disguise of taxation. This bloody work will never ceaso until Spain is driven from the waters of the Atlantic for- ever, wnich must certainly soon come to pas The island of Cubs, 900 miles in length with &0 average width of about 30 miles and 7000 miles of coast development, including the small adjacent islands, produced one-fourth of the sugar of tne worid up to the breaking out of the present war. Tobacco and coffee come next in value of productions. However, the variety of products is innumerable, two- | thirds of the island being under cultivation | during times of peace. | The population is principally Spanish. i i | Then come French creoles in the east; Anglo- Americans and Germans in the north; Ame n Indians, or Yucatan, in the south- west, with quite a number of negroes sud Chinese throughout the isiand. The island being a province of Spain, s sub- ject to her laws, which have grown more and | more oppressive, inasmuch as Spain has attempied to make up the deficiency in her The Cubans have learned through bitter | experience that any promise of reform on the pert of Spain will not be kept. Her sons and daughters are now in the fleld, ill fed and clothed and only half equipped for warfare, fighting for that liberty our fathers fought for in this glorious free land of ours. Shall we sit idly by, and see this fair land at our very door, depopulated of its brave defenders, or made slaves forever? The time is past duo for this country toact. Let us urge without fur- ther delay cur Representatives in Washington to press the question of recognition. Cuba | onee recognized by the United States, her trials will soon be over. Yours truly, D. E. BOHANNOY, 1117 Fifth street, Sacramento, Cal It will be but a few days now until the committee calls a mass-meeting and be. gins the Cuban movement on the same lines as carried on in New York. The | following gentlemen will speak at the meeting: Attorney W. 8. Scott, ex-Judge Robert Ferral, R. C. Clement, H. W. Hut. ton, Judge F. W. Van Reynegom, Edward | Salomon and H. E. Righton. & The committee has been busy for sev- eral days writing letters to persons who imagine the purpcses of the league are velligerent. All have been notified that the work is wholly sympathetic and along lawfal lines. CITY REFORMS. Organization of the Cltizens’ Municipal Alliance by Prominent Gentlemen of San Francisco, Articles of incorporation of the Citizens' Municipal Alliance were filed in the office of the County Clerk yesterday. | The purposes of the society are alieged to be the formation of a non-sectarian, non-partiean association for social, politi- csal and moral purposes, and to advance the educational, industrial and commer- cial interests of San Francisco. A remarkable clause is insertea which provides that “neither the good offices nor the influence of this corporation shall be used to give unmerited prominence to any of its members, nor exercised in any way to aid them in their political ambitions.” Of course ambitious members may deem it proper to decide for themselves what constitutes ‘‘unmerited prominencs” when the question of political preferment is un- der consideration. There are to be eleven directors of the corporation, and the gentlemen chosen to serve during the first year are W. W. Allen Sr.. D. Gilbert Dexter, Rickard Lam- vbert, C. M. Arnold, R. P. Clement, M. 8. Woodhams, A. McFadyen, Mark Strouse, Lucius H. Foote, H. O. Stearns and W lace Bradford.

Move to Put Two Policemen in Each Theater to Keep Aisles Clear.| Condon Succeeded by J. E. Buckley as Sup:rintendent of Municipal Building. Dr. Rottanzi presided at the Board of Supervisors’ meeting yesterday in the Mayor's absence. A vacancy was declared in the office of superintendent of construction of the municipal bailding, thereby dismissing Daniel E. Condon, and John E. Buckley, who is a relative of Supervisor Sheeban, was elected to succeed him and todraw a salary of $250 per month. The beard also dismissed James Taylor, a janitor, and named William O’Brien to take Lis place. The session was dull, but one matter came up which develoved a ripple of in- terest. This was a proposed ordinance the import of which is to transfer from the Fire Department to the Police Depart- meat the duty of keeping clear the lobbies, aisles, etc., of places of amusement during performances. Supervisor Britt championed the ordin- ance, but admitted that the Chief of Police hes use for all the men in his department. Supervisor Smith opposed the ordinance on much the same ground that Supervisor Britt favored it. On Supervisor Smith’s motion the matter went over for one week. In the meantime the two departments will discuss this new move. The ordin- ance provides for two policemen in each, theater. Supervisor Clinton introduced a resolu- tion, which was adopted, asking the Legis- lature to take tavorable action upon a bill pending before it for the relief of John C. Pelton, of whom Dr. Clinion spoke as the tather of the public-school system of Cali- fornia. A resolution instructing the clerk of the board to advertise fur_proposols for sup- plying the City and County Hospital and the Almshouse with milk for two years was indefinitely postponed. The resolution stopping all work south of Golden Gate Park wasrescinded, The order prohibiting the opening of the Fourth-street bridge between 6:30 and 7:30 A. M. and 5:30 and 6:30 p. M. was finaliy passed. —— STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Summary of the Week's Work Acted On by the Board.

What a Leading Chemist Says Is the Best Thing to Do at This Time of Year. There has been more discussion over the subject of quick consumption, pneumonia and sudden deaths within the last six months than ever before. Doctors and all thinking people have been interested in it, and the fact that more than two-thirds of all deaths arise from throat and lung troubles has intensifiad it. The best thing upon the subject that we have seen is from William T. Cutter, State Chemist of Con- necticut. He says: “Some years 8go, while in Kentucky, I received a letier from & number of the leading physicisng of N'w York, asking if I would furnish them with a pure article of whisky for the sick. Idid so, and_for several years fur- nished them with a whisky as nearly suit- &ble for their purpases as I could find; but neither at thattime nor since have I tound what they required until I chemically analyzed Duffy’s pure malt whisky. Hav. ing.a practical as well as a chemical knowledga of the manufacture of whisky, perhaps I am & better judge of its merits than one having only ‘a chemical knowl- edge. I was surprised at the analysis of Duffy’s pure malt whisky to find it was absolutely pure, as I had never found this to be the case in any other whisky. Its advantages to those suffering from pul- monic troubles, nervous prostration o menzal exhaustion must be great. I con- sider that its absolute purity, ‘as well as scientific mode of manufacture, must commend it to public favor.” Philadelphia Shoa Co, Ho. 10 Tuiro St D e ——— STAMPED ON A SHOE MEANS STANDARD OF MERIT NOBBY, NEAT, STYLISH. | ONLY $2.00, WILL STAND THE TEST. | | Our competitors often claim that tney | 11 as £00d shoes for the money as wo do.
