EOULEVARD WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED The Citizens’ Relief Commit- tee Has Adopted This Plan. Intend to Raise Much More Money to Continue Im- provements. Loads of Food Collected Yesterday. Men Opposed to Salvation Army. The boulevard will be built to sive work to the unemployed. This was decided yesterday forenoon at a meet- ingin the Merchants' Association rooms of the relief commitiee appointed by Mayor Phelan. Efforts will be made to raise a large sum of-morey, not $20,000 nor $100,000 espe- cially, but as much as possible in order 10 ‘provide further work than that contem- plated upon the boulevard. A committee, consisting of Con O'Con- ner, gineer Schussler and Henry J. Crocker, was appointed to see about ob- taining right of way deeds from property- 1 vners along the line of the proposed \ boulevard. This will be only s matter of Tm, &8 most of the owners are neartily in favor of the improvement. The Spring Valley Water Company has offered a'way through its 'and. Ex-Mayor ho is one of the fathers of the “plan, will give a way through his land. The boulevard will begin at Seventh ave- wear the Olympic Club grounds, and 1l be buit southward round an Mateo County. r Tuttle said that his appur- tenance bt be used free of charge to the unemployed and that he would also contribute $100 worth of team work toward (L€ bouleyard. Mayor Phelan su should be furnish Contr; sted thet this work niy to the unem- . who uave beea in this City three nths. This wouid prevent an influx of employed from other cities. The com- mittee adopted his suggestion, but de- cided not to make a casuron rule that would work an injustice. Laboy Commissioner Fitzgerald taought that the employment of 1000 men would relieve the present distress. I Meyer of 216 Post street was asurer of the citizens' relief committee, and he will receive fands in- tended for the boulevard work and other s 10 Be projected for the general ment of the men now out 0: work. i hundred men were fed yesterday eadquarters of the unemployed on street, near New Montgomery. are 2000 names already on the of the organized unemployed in this The lead spirits among these 000 raisad to 2 boulevard would practically fur- for 2000 men ouly five days. nt condition would be fel vard work would amount to reliet unless it could be fol- ent. r the second meal us served the fund of the un- amounted o $8 in cash.

The of- ficers of the organization have not at- tempted to obtain auy list of tae trades and crafis represented, fo# the men tnem- selves want work of any kind and do not assert their preferences. A representaiive of THE CALL yesterday inquired the occuvation of just a hundred men advancing in line on the kitchen. The resuit sbould furnish a faic basis for estimating the percentage of the different sses of workmen represented in the whole organization. f that nearly 50 per centof the layed are men of some trade; that 30 per cent are common laborers; ish to about and that the remaining 20 per cent have knowledge of some special kind of labor. e is the percentage for 100 reprc- \ative men among the unemployed: o amsters, 5 miners, 5 carpenters, 3 wait- , 3 ma bookkeepers, 2 porters, 2 painters, 1 decor- ator and painter, 1 decorator and polisher, 1 marble poli<her, 1 barber, 1 marine en- gineer, 1 locomotive engineer, 1 fireman, 1 steamfitier, 1 brick mason, 1 paper- hanger, 1 cabinetmaker, 1 molder, 1 shoe- maker, 1 miller, 1 hoopmaker, 1 confec- tioner, 1 pres:man, 1 salesman and canvasser, 1 kitchen heiper, 1 sailor, 1 seronaut s will furnish an idea of what the mployed are who now wish work of kind. Some of them are married and some have families to support. - -A socialistic feeling prevails among the leagers. To it partly may be attributed 1wo.sentiments that have been expressed. )ne mal s the men opposed (o :he mere proposition of work at = doilar a day. They want$2 a day, on the assumption atas citizens desirous of maintaining eir jespectability and earning a living they should not be offered a pittance that all depreciate the vaiue of labor here. e otner makes them OP]rD!L‘fi to the hods of toe Salvation Atmy in its re- Jief movements. They object to the Salvation Army be- cause it churges 5 cents for a _meal or a bed instead of freely furnishing either to 8 deserving person. Several of those that sppliea at the Salvation Army kiichen just rouad the corner on New Montgom- ery sireet declined to do work equivaient to the value of a meal. They consider such a method degrading to deserving 1abor not in search of coarity, but willing tof accept temporary relief until paying eraployment is obtained. To-day the Salvation Army will open a woodyard, where a limited amount of work can be furnished to about 100 men. Fach man may work an hour and geta meal ticket or a bed ticket. The idea is not to :urnish a solution of the problem of the uncmyloyed, but simply to.relieve temporary suffering. All the Salvation Army organization: | are run so that each may support itself independently of the other. The Salvation- ists’ parades in this City on Washington’s birthday, contrary to the suppositions of the unemployed, who yesterday regretted it s a use of good money on fireworks and a sireet display, cost less than $10, ccording to the statement of the officers who had charge of it. The red fire and the letters of fire cost only a dollar. The trucks were loaned. Only the horses had to berented. Metropolitan Tempy le for the evening cost §50. But the parade was a meaps of filling the hall and a subscrip~ tion of $100 was taken up. So the cele- bration proved a profitable investment. A wrong impression has been gained of the Salvation Army and its objects by the unemployed. They look upon its neat uniforms and its charges for meals as an indication of commercial profit made from charitable work. The common soldiers of the Salvation Army. explained one of the higher officers yesterday, receive nothing for their ser- Vices. They are engaged in various em- ployments, and even help to pay the ex- penses of the army work. The oficers de- vota their whole time to the army and are barely supported by it, the idea being that as Christians they wish nothinz more. A lieutenant-colonel is allowed $14 a week for the living expenses of himseif and wife provided funds are available; if not he gets less, but never more. A major, if married, 1s limited to $14 a_week; an ad- jutant or staff captain 10 $12a week; an ensign 10 $10 50 & week; a captain to $10 a week, All these are the maximum amounts allowed for the living and main- tenance of man and wife, A single man gets about a third Jess. A girl captain is Iimited 10 §6 a week, a single lieutenant to $6 a week and a woman Jieutenant to $5 lor every expense of iife. - The foliowing compose the committees as named by tue chairman, William M.

AYALA'S SUPPORT. She Says Her Husband Ought to Pay Her $75 a Month. Mrs, Kittie Ayala bas sued J. Ayala for permanent support and maintenance. Mrs. Avala avers that she aund her hus- band were married on the 5th of July, 1888, and her husband abandoned her in | October, 1894, since which time he has con- tinued to !ive apart from her without | sufficient reason and without her consent. In consequence of this abandonment Mrs. Ayala has become dependent on tke charity of friends. She says her husband is in receipt of $200 a month and she de- mands that he be compelled to contribute | $75 8 month for ber support. - —— Mechanics’ Institate ection, 1 The annual election of directors of the | Mechanics’ Institute took place last night. | The polis were open from 9 to 11 o’clock, and fourteen aifferent perzons were voted for asfollows: R.

The teachers and vupils of the Horace Mann School on Valencia, street, near Twenty-second, came near losing their principal—Joseph O’ Connor—on I'hursday last. The particular thing creating excite- ment in connection with Mr. 0’Connor is that the janitor of the Horace Mann Schoo!, Eugens T. Jones, did his utrost to assassinate the principal last Thursday aiternoon. Jones, who is one of the newly ap- pointed employes of the Board of Educa- tion, assumed his duties about a month ago. He was regularly instructed by hi predecessor as to what work he had to do, and he scquitted himself in the premises to the satisfac.ion of the teachers untit a couple of weeks ago. He claimed he was overworked, and he was allowed an as- sistant, who took chargeof one of the yards and of some of the day class rooms* Complaints from the teachers came pouring in that the night schooi rooms especially were being neglected, and Prin. cipal O'Connor informed Jones he must be more atientive or else a complaint would be lodged with the Board of Edu. cation. Jones brooded over this, and at 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon he forced his way into Mr. O'Connor’s private office, where some of the teachers were making their final reports for the day. “Come out here d look at those rooms,’”’ he ordered in a manner'indicat- ing that darink had control of him. 5,6 cooks, 5 gardeners, 5 hostlers, | pal, “and what is more, I don’t want you ninists, 2 biacksmiths, 2 iron- | ally when your breath smells so strongly workers, 2 plumbers, 2 shipping clerke, 2| of whisky.’ 1 will not do so,” answered the princi- to come in here in that manner, especi- “You are s liar!” exclaimed the jani- tor. “I'm not drinking, and if you say s0, you lie.” Mr. O’Connor closed the door on the fellow and went along attending to the teachers, who were terribly frightened. At 5 o'clock that afternoon, when Mr. 0O'Connor was leaving the school building Jones encountered him in the hallway and insisted again that the schoolrooms be inspected. A The principal was anxious to leave the place to attend to other business and he was particularly desirous of huving noth- ing to do witn Jones, who was inflamed by liquor and an idea that he was being abused. ‘As Mr. O'Connor opened the door to step out of the building Jones drew a pis- tol from his pocket and pointing itat him pulied the trigger. The weapon, al- though loaded, was not “‘cocked.” Being a single-action pistol the repeated pulling at the irigger by the drunken jenitor failed to explode it. Professor O'Connor, who is a powerful man, could easily have reached his would- be assassin and disarmed him but that he is suffering at this time from a painfal accident he met with while exercising a couple of weeks ago in Sausalito, rs. Jones,” the wife of the drunken janitor, who had been evading him for some hours for fear of his frenzy, rushea in and grabbed the pistol. berging him all the while to stop—that Mr. O’Connor had not done him harm. Between the two the frenzied janitor was disarmed and sent home. Yesterday Detective Cody arrested Joues on a charge of ussault with a deaaly weapon be wi bsequentiy reieased by Juage Conlan on bonds in the sum of $1000. The story reached the Board of Edunea- | tion, and Eugene T. Jones has been stricken from the list of schoolbouse jani- tors, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. GEORGE W.

BATTLING FOR THE MARSHALSHIP Sheriff McKenzie Has the Prize Aimost in Hand. He Telis of His Strong Support From Many Different Sources. The District an Enormius One, Reaching From Fresno to the Oregon Line. Sheriff George 8. McKenzie of Napa County, who is msking a formidable tight for the United States marshalship of the northern district of Califoraia, to succeed Barry Baldwin, was among the urrivals here yesterday. Of course it is considered that Mr. Baldwin will not aspire to sue- ceed himeelf under a Republican adminis- tration. The Sheriff of Napa, who has arrested 50 many stage-robbers and other bad men during his official career, believes that he has an excellent show to get the office. He apparently has lots of people working tor him, and with enthusiasm, too. From what is learned at different sources Le seems to have an open roadstead to the prize. It is an important office and bolds sway over a vast area of country. A good many deputies are. required, but as at present they are appointed under civil service rules, no -great pull can be made on a candidate for the marshalship. Still it is said that with these and other offices under other departments an effort is to be made to make them partisan as before, on the plea that as good men may be ob- tained in the party as out of it. Sheriff McKenzie is at the Grand. He said in regard 10 the campaign he is mak- ing for the United States marshalship: “I have about seven-tenths of the Re- publican county committees of the whole northern district, and Ialso have the in- dorsement of the Republican members of the Benate and Assembly from the dis- | trict. *‘Besides this I have the indorsement of the State officers, and of the county cffi- cers of different counties in the district. In addition to these a great many of the Republican State Central Committee and some of the Republican electors, who only recently cast the vote of California for Major McKinley, are my supporiers.” | “Whatabout your support in Congress?" | was asked. | “Well, some in Congress are friendly to | me, t00.’” he said, with a smile. | The Sheriff seemed very well sat with the number and kind of frienas he | Bad. He considered them, he said, the strongest in the Republican party. Talk- ing of the extent of the district, he said: “What is called the Northern District of California extends from the northern line ol Fresno County to Oregon, lnking the | whole of the upper portion of the State. | It is a very large territory, of coarse.” | Ttis said that Senator Perkins is one of Sheriff McKenzie's supporters at Wash- ington, Tne Sheriff says he is not going to theinaugural. BILLS FOR JURORS' LUNCH.

The Supervisors resolved not to pay any | such bills after Febr 1 Last week the Judiciary Committee failed to approve | bills which were sent down from Judge ‘\ Cook’s department, and the board yester- day transferred them to the Finance Committee, Dr. Rotianzisays he does not !ue how be can approve of the bills until | the Judiciary Committee bas passed upon | their legality. { Whether the Finance Committee will | pass them around to another committee remains to be seen.

CALIFORNIA TO SHOW AT OMARA Party Coming From the East to Awaken Local Interest. President Wattles and Manager Hitchcock Will Visit Sacramento, Vice-President G:orge W. Parsons Furnishes Some Facts Concera- ing the Exposition. George W. Parsons, vice-president for California of the Trans-Mi: ippi and International Exposition at Omaha, to takc place next year from June to Novem- ber, has received a dispatch from E. C. Hunt, superintendent of promotion, in- forming him that Manager Hitchcock, President Wattles and other prominent Omaha citizens will visit Sacramenato. Their purpose is to confer with legisiators in reference to the appropriation to have Catifornia represented. The dispatch is in full as follows: OmAHA, Nebr., February 18, 1867. Hon. George W. Parsons: Committeeof promi- nent Omaha citizens, headed by President Wattles and Mansger Hitcheock, accompanied by their wives, Wil arrive at Sacramento next week on & special car to present exrosition matter. Arrange for joint session of Legisla- ture if possible and i1 not have a meeting of & joint committee of both houses. Have papers unce coming. e the Governor co- operate. Legisiatures citfes thus far visited have sccorded bandsome reception and every courtesv. It gives the project a decided impetus. W1l wire Lime of &irivalas £00n as possible. E. C. HUNT, Superiutendent Department of Promotio Mr. Parsons said lagt evening tuat he considered that it will be of much impor- tance to California to be represented. He also explained at length the facts concern- ing the Omaha exposition. It 1s the outgrowth,” said Mr. Parsons, “of the trans-Mississippi congress. The exposition will represent directly all the States and Territories west of the Missis- | sippi River. The remainder of the coun- try will beinvited to take part, but the exposition will be distinctively stern. ““The sense of the eighth trans-AMissis- sippi congress was that such an exposition would be of great advantage to the West. In fact, the vote was unanimously in fa- vorofit. The trans-Mississippi congress is a very representative body, embracing many eminent men. “The claims of the country west of the Mississippi to have a distinctive exposi- tion are well based. Two-thirds of the area of the United States iies west of the Mississippi, and that area contains one- third of the population and one-half of the wealth of the entire country. “The Eastern States had their chance for exploitation at Philadelp. in 1876, The central part of the United States was advertised Chicago. The South had the Atlanta Exposition and also the Cotton-growers' Exhibition at New Or- leans. The West has never had a distinct exhibition. Omaha, which was Selected | as the site, is 1he gateway to both the East and the West. Within a radius of 500 miles, taking Omaba as a center, a circle would touch filteen States and Territories, in which reside 20,000,600 per-, sons, 1f only 10 per cent of the-e should attend, the gathering wou'd be very large. “California certainly sbould be well represented. The United Staies Govern- ment bas recognized the importance of the exposition. The sum of $200,000 has been appropriated and a bill is pending before Congress asking for $300,000 more. Tle bill appropriating $50,000 pending at Sacramento it out of the Assembly and on | its third reading in the Senate.”’ The articles of incorporation define more fully the purposes to be the holding of an exposition of all the products, industries and civilization of the States and Terri- tories of the United Siates of America west of the Mississippi River, and also such exhibits as may be provided by the United States or any State in the United Btates, or any foreign country, for the purl)ose particularly of exbibiting to the world the products, industries and capa- bilities generaily of the said States and Territories west of the Mississippi River.

The Defense Rests Upon the Articles of Incorporation of the Club Objection Raised by the Defense to Every Question Put to the Witnesses. The first of the ceses arising out of the big raid made by the police on tbe so- called Chinese ciubs on Saturday night, February 13, came up for trial before a jury in Judge Joachimsen’s court yester- day afternoon. The venire of forty wasexhausted and only eight jurors had been selected. Rather than suffer the delay of issuing another venire, it was agreed on both sides to try the case with the eight jurors. Yee Chee was the defendant. - He was arrested by Sergeant Harper and posse at $23 Washington streat, and was charged with visiting a tan game. He was repre- sented by Attorneys Joseoh V. Coffey and J. F. Smith. Ex-Judge Louderback con- ducted the prosecution. Sergeant Harper was the first witness called. He tesiified ‘to raiding the place and finding the defendant there. He seized sticks, coins, bagsand other articles used in a tan game, which were produced and shown to the jurors. Attorney Coffey objected - to every ques- tion put to the witness in something like the following: object to the quesiion as immaterial and misleading; calls for the opinion of the witness and is not the besc evidence. “Objection overruled. “Exception. “Exception noted.” Then after the question was answered Attorney Coffey would s “I move to strike out the witness. “Motion denied. " Exception. “Exception noted,” swer of the [ Three policemen corroborated Sergeant Harper and the prosecut.on rested. The defense simply placed in evidence the articles of incorporation of the club. Ex-Judge Londerback made an_admira- ble address to the jury, contending that the evidence. clearly showed that a tan gime was being played at the time the 1aid was made, which, according to the law, was an illegal game.
