Their Convention Warmly Dis- cussed These Matters Yesterday. A Commiltee Appointed to Act in the Interests of Ca'ifornia Growers. Some of the most representative wine growers and dealers of California met in convention this morning, under the auspices of the College of Practical Viti- culture, for the purpose primarily of dis- cussing the pending reciprecity treaty taking action in opposition thereto, as a measure calculated to injure the wine The result of the convention’s deliberations was a resolu- tion empowering the chairman to appoint in conjunction with the Eastern representatives and to take the necessary steps to oppese reciprocity in so injure the State wine industry. The State Legislature will also be requested to forward resolutions to Washineion and to see that the interests of the wine-growers are properly repre- sented. An amendment was added to the foregoing, to the effect that 1n view of the fact that the finer d older varieties of California wine are seri under the present tariff r tions, this committee should bs instructed to earnestly advocate a judicious increase in the present schedule of our wine tariff. Among the members present were the following: Arpad Haraszthy, Charles A. Wetmore, Clarence Wetmore (represent- ing the Livermore Valley interests), John Swett, Mr. Croft, William Scott, A. Sbar- boro, A. P. Hayne of the State Unmiversity, P. Devaux of Mission San Jose, William Palmtag of Hollister and the San Beuito County region, B. H. Upham of Contra Costa County, E. F. Sagar of the Eisen Vineyard Company, Emil Garnier of Emil Garnier & Co., P. T. Morgan of the Cali- fornia Wine Association, Charles Bund- schu of the Gundlach-Bundschu Wine Company, J. J. Jacobi of Lachman & Jacovi, Peter Streiff ot the Santa Cruz wine depot, R. W. Lemmer of St. Helens, R. Jordan anda R. Jordan Jr. of Napa, Paxton of Sonoma. President Arpad Hara¢zthy called the convention to order soon aits 1 o'clock yesterdsy morning in the Chamber of Commerce baii, and briefly explained the t of the gathering as stated above. t has been rumored,” he said, “and you bave no doubt seen some slight inti- | mation in the newspapers that such a treaty was about to be established, and stern importers would derive some tuerefrom, together with a casual nference that the wine industry of Cati- fornia woula suffer by the.admission of French wines at much lower figures than heretofore. “This rumor has beer. confirmed by pri- vate letters from the East, stating that ac- tion is about to be taken by large canni | such as Armour, for the purpose of intro- | ducing tueir canned goods into Frauce. Alter having considered these matters, it s proposed to deal with the subject of bottling in bond. It has been suggested that we shou!d have some representative sent East, and I also beg to state tbe ad- visability of either raising or maintainin, the present tariff on imported wines. would like to hear from gentlemen pres- ent on these subjects.” Charles Bundscher said he would like to know whether the convention had any other than newspaper information to pro- ceed upon. Some of the local papers had contended that the old tariff schedule of | 40 or 50 cents should be reinstated, while others urged that the present rate should be sustained. J. J. Jacobi said that he had received a letter from Congressman Loud, in which he stated that nothing had been done be- e’'s recommendation ola McKiuley tanff should be re- ed. As far as reciprocity was concerned they had heard nothing from Washington to lead them to believe that any decided action had been taken. Secretary W. Scott informed the con- vention that he had a letter from the Wine that the 100 | und Spirit Traders' Society of New York, 15 | in which he was informed that reciprocity would be supported, and that the present scheduls of 30 cents for dry wines and 50 cents for sweet wines would be main- tained. The chairman pointed out the necessity for immediate action, as the Congres- sional committees were now hard at work on the reciprocity question. J. J. Jacobl bere moved for the ap- vointment of a commitiee to guard against reciprocity affecting the wine in- dusiry of the State. He suggested also 1wo or three should have power to delegate iis fanc- tions to others. People like Jacobl & Browfeldt of New York had access to the Ways and Means Committee; they were continually posted, and should the neces- sity arise they could be in Washington in ten or fitteen hours. Mr. Jacobi did not consider it wise to expose their hand in this matter in the presence of the press. Mr. Bundsch believed they all op- posed the scheme of reciprocity, if con- ditions were offersd to Western packers, under which they could export their meats to Europe, while the wine-growers here were sacrificed. But did the conven- tion desire to favor an increase in the present tariff, or did it consider the pres- ent duty satisfactory? e thought that the committee sugeested by Mr, Jacobi should enlarge its scope so as to include the whole question of reciprocity and | tariff. Mr. Jacobi, however, would not accept the amendment for the reason that under the present tariff they knew they would not be injured to any deadly extent, though some might think it advisable to restore the duty to what it was a few years ago. But Mr. Jacobi held that it was a bad policy to go into battle with divided forces and he, therefore, wished to leave the tariff guestion entirely in the back- ground. Reciprocity was such a serious menace that tbey could not afford to bur- den themselves with any other business. If the Ways and Means Committee gave ‘them a 50-cent duty, or should the com- mittee leave it at 30 cents, none of them woula pe seriously injured. John Swett cousidered it advisable to appoint a committee for one specific puc- vose, butdid not tkink the convention should dodge any issue. Personally he believed the tariff was as bigh as it should be and that they conld ao fairly well nnder it, though a higher tariff might benefit them teraporarily. A second com- mittee should be appointed to consider this question. W. Wehmer said he had thought that when they voted for McKinlev it was on the assumption that the tariff would not be lowered. It would certainiy be a bad thing to have both McKinley and a lower tar ff, [Laughier]. C. A. Weimore earnestly contended that the convention should stand by its agree- ment with the New York Wine and Spirit usly suffering | Traders’ Society at the time the tariff was last adjusted. He expressed himself in favor of reciprocity, though it might be well to define the kind of reciprocity they wanted. But he did not see any harm in Chicago trying to extend the market for canned goods to European countries. To-day they conld not export one gallon of spirits 10 France because there they had two tariffs—a high one applied to the world zenerally, ana a low one applied to those countries which treated them well. Suppose Congress was asked to empower the Government to add 50 per cent to every item in the tariff and 25 per cent on the free list tc the country waich did not place the United States on the footing of the most favored nation? Tuoen France - might be expected to extend to us the privilezs we do not now enjoy. Mr. Jacoby asserted that Uslifornia only actepted the 30-cent duty as a compro- mise. The convention was not opposing zeneral reciprocity, but merely wine re- ciprocity, nor did he see why they should be sscrificed upon an altar of Illinois canned goods. At Mr. Morgan’s suggestion several of the winemakers present spoke on the question. P. C. Rossi said that the large majority of winemakers desired an in- crease in the tariff. Heinformed the con- vention that e was able to state authori- tatively that California wines could not realize a high price because Bordelaise sold in New York at55and 50 cents a gallon and a certain prejudice existed in its favor. In the faceof these conditions, a shori crop here calculated to raise the| price of native wines 5 or 10 cents a gallon, would immediately bring them into com- petition with Spanish and Iialian wines. Mr. Palton expressed similar sentiments on behalf of Sonoma County. Mr. Crabbe called attention to the manufacture of spurious wines in Eastern vineyards, and aaded that if the 50-cent duty were re- | stored it wonld be necessary to have a | pure National wive law in order to derive | any great benefit from it. Mr. Rossi said that the only reason why artificial wines were not consumed in greater quantities was because people were able to discriminate between them |and the purer varieties, but that wines could be manufactured with sugar at half | the price of those manufactured with | grapes here, and that manufacturers using | sugar would certainly make more when the duty was 50 cents than now when it | was 30. But under a duty of 50 cents the | highber class wines would be better pro- | tected and the cheaper varieties would be { regulated by competition. In Italy the law proposed 10 include the wines manu- { fectured with raisinsas belonging to the | artificial category. | . Mr. Sbarboro provoked Mr. Bundschu's indignation by affirming that the wine tar- | f question was decided at the tifne of the last election and that many wine-makers | on the Democratic side of the house voted for McKinley for that reason. To reverse that decision and declare tuat they wished | toatters to remain as they were would be ridiculous. Mr. Bundschu held that far greater issues were involved and,reverting | to the subject under discussion, advised the | trade, while holding fast to what it already had, to ask for more. He moved therefore that in view of the fact that California wines are serionsly suffering under the present tariff regula- tions the committee be instructed to earnestly advocate a judicious increase in the present schedule of our wine tariff. This was carried with the understanding that the committee consist of five mem- bers, who will be named by the chairman in the course of a few days. The secretary before the convention ad- journed explained the bill recently intro- duced into Congress by Eva f Louis- ville on the subject of bottling in bond. The bill provides that any distilier with a certificate of twenty bushels cupacity of hall have the right to bottle h whiskies in bond practically under the same regulations as those ander which whiskies are now bottled in Canada. The 1egulations respecting brandy will bedrawn up by the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue. This law does not pro- vide for the blending of different ages, and the distiller can only reduce in proof, without adding color, nor can the product of two distilleries be bottied. A vainat- tempt was made a year ago by Mr. Evaus to get the privilege of blendin tered. The convention, however, did not act on the foregoing, and adjourned sine aie. THE ABBUTY (GREEMENT Expert Kytka Says Her Mar- riage Contract Was Fabricated. He: Agrees With Experts Ames and Cavalho in Regard to Erasures on the Papers. T. Kytka, an expert in photography and bandwriting, gave some strong testimony in Judge Seawell’s court yesterday against the claims of Mrs. Nancy Abbott to be the wife of Thomas M. Quackenbush, sn aged capitalist, Mr. Kytka swore that in his opinion the so-callea marriage contract between Mrs. Abbott and Mr. Quackenbush was a fabri- cated document. He said that the paper bearing Quackenbush’s genuine signature had formerly contained some other writ- ing which hiad been erased and that the so-called contract had been written over the first writing. Another paper on which Mrs. Abbott placed great reliance was designated as the Thanksgiving acknowledgment of marriage, which read as follows: November 30, 1893, Took my Thanksgiving dfuner with my wife to-day. There is no place for me like home. May ihe Lord spare us to_have many dinners together. [Signed.] N.A QUACKENBUSH, T3 Q. This was by Mr. Kytka declared to be also in the nature of a palimpsest. He said that he could detect some of the orig- inal words with the naked eye, and when he applied the microscope he couid clearly discover that the original date was April instead of November. According to Mr. Kytka’s opinion the work of erasure had vLeen performed with an ordinary rubber eraser, and he drew attention 10 the *‘woolly’’ appearance of the surface of the paper on which the dif- ferent contracts had been written. He thought the signatures by Quackenbush were genuine, but that when written they were appended to orders for merchandise and the like, as he was able to make out parts of words that would indicate such to be their nature. Mrs. Abbott admitted that the contracts were written by herself, so the logical conclusion, if tbe erasures had been made, was that she or some one in_her interest had done the work. Experts Ames and Cavalho of New York examined these disputed documents some time ago, and gave it as their opinion that they were false and fabricated, acreeing substantially with the theory advanced by Mr. Kytka. The taking of testimony was declared closed, and argument by counsel will be heard next Tuesday. ———————— ORANE TQOK LAUDANUM. An Expert Accountant Who Was Out of Work Killed Himself, Lauren E.

Rauer Says He Will Have the Debris on the Site Quickly Removed. Architect Shea and tha Supervisors, Tired of Waiting, Force a Sudiea Move. Work on the Hall of Justice may now proceed. The Buildings Committee of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday. The chairman of the committee is Super- visor Sheehan, whose brother-in-law, Mr. Buckley, was on Monday appointed sup- erintendent of construction on that build- ing. Before the committee yesterday appeared “Jake” Rauer and Architect Frank Shea. Shea had caused Mr. Rauer to be called to d2 something to speed him in the clearing away of the debris from the site upon which the new building will stand. This purpose was accomplished, | for before Kauer left the committee-room he had signed a document of which the following is copy: SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16, 1897. In consideration of the material received of the old Uity Hall building and the contract made with the Mayor of said City and County 10 tesr down the said building cnd remove all the material from said lot, I hereby antaorize the srchitect, Frank Shes, to remove all the dirt. debris, brick or other material from said lot, and that &ll expense incurred in the per- formance of said work will be mot and pald by me on demand of said architect. J. J. RAUER. Rauer, It wiil be recollected, secured the material of the old City Hall for $600 with the agreement that he should re- move ail the debris and all the old build- ngs from the site, leaving a_clear site for the new building. The old City Hail was torn down and the debris accumulated up- on a solid concrete floor. Instead of first carting away the debris, the contractor to whom Rauer had sublet the job pulled up the concrete in great blocks and moved that. Some time ago Architect Shea wanted to view the foundations of the old_build- ing, and secured an allowence of $100 from the Supervisors to diz a trench all around | | Blessington, who at once sent word to the So- the inner edge of the walls. This brought to light the large amount of work vet to be done in the removal of the buildings. The contractor for Rauer, slowly plodding along, filled up this trench and this some- what exciled Architect Shea. The next move was to bring Rauer before the com- mittee ard try to have the work accele- rated and also to have a complete job made of it. With Rauer was the con- tractor. Rauer protested that he was not re- sponsible for any delay and said that be would just as soon have a hundred mn at work, “He also promised greater haste. Architect Shea reminded the committee that Mr. Raver had made similar prom- ises before and_requested that he s sign & paper. Then Clerk Russell of the Board of Supervisors drew up the paper already mentioned, to which Rauer at- tached his signature, ing that he was suited. Architect Shea was suited and so was the committee, which was a happy condi- tion of affairs all round. The salary of the new Saverintendent of Construction, which is §250 per month, will begin as soon as coustruction is actually begun. There will be a lively scratching of dirt from now on. N0 ODD FELLOWS IN LINE. Lodges and Encampments Will Not Join the Golden Gute Carnival. There was & meeting of representatives from the subordinate lodges, encamp- ments and Rebekah lodges of order of 0dd Fellows in Oid Fellows’ Hall on Satnrday night. Grand Secretary George T. Shaw pro- sided and the several representatives pre- sented the views of the bodies they repre- sented in the matter of taking part in the Golden Gate Carnival celebration. 3 It was proposed to have an Odd Fellows’ day on the 26th of April, the anniversary of the founding of the order, and the proposition was laid before the carnival committee. That body announced its willingness to do all it could in the way of courtesy to the order, but found upon con- sultation tbat the date named could not be designated as *'‘Odd Fellows’ day.” This havine been reported to the various | bodies it seemed to have had its effect, for when the roll was calied it was founa that fourteen sutordinate lodges, three encampments and one Rebekah lodge were opposed to tuking part in the carni- val, that five subordinates and Rebekah lodges were in favor of the proposition and that three lodges were willing to go with the majority. That put & stop to any further action in the matter, and the committee adjourned sine die. ————— Ran Away From Home.
