JUDGE MORROW WAS HONORED Bar Association Unani- mously Favors Him for Promotion. United States District Judge Indorsed for Circuit Judgeship. Meeting Yesterdoy and Resolutions Drafted to Be Seant to President McKinley. The Bar Association of San Francisco | yesterday afternoon draftéd resolutions | indorsing United States District Judge | William W. Morrow for the judgeship of | the United States Circuit Court to suc- | ceed Judge McKenna, who relinguished his high judicial position to accept a place | in President McKinley’s Cabinet. Judge Morrow was the unanimous choice cf the meeting, which was held in the rooms of the Bar Association, at 530 California street, and was largely at- tended, No other name was suggesied. The secretary of the association was in- structed to send a copy of the resclutions to President McKinley, to each of the California Senators and Representatives in Congress, and also to Judge McKenna, the idea being to impress these, who have influence in making the appointment, with the fact that Judge Morrow is deemed worthy of the place and is urged for the office by the largest representative legal | association of the circuit he would preside over. Who Judge Morrow’s may be on the United States District bench should tbis appointment ba made is a question that will come up later. ‘Y'ne meeting vesterday was called prin- cipally for the purpose of discussing the propriety of indorsing some one for the Circuit Judgeship. No other business was brought up. None other was contem- plated. Every one seemed agreeable to Judge Morrow, but for fear that it might be d. cided not to indorse any one the associs tion beld an executive session, in order that no publicity might be given to its de- liberations should they fail of their object. But there were no objections. Those who spoke were enthusiasiic in their yreference for Judge Morrow. The resolutions will be sent on to Washington to-day. | A WORD TO SENATORS. The Local College of Physicians Objects to Certain Legislation. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of San Francisco hassent the following communication to each of the Senators at Sacramento. It explains itself: Dear Senator: The sole object of Senate bill | . 265 is o admit students of our medical | oliege and of the homeopathic and eclectic | medical colleges to the advantages and privil. | eges of clinicel instruction to the City and | Couniy H spital on an equality with the med- ical department of the biate University and Cooper Meaical College, i This has rendered necessary an amendment to the code, because at the time the code was | adopted neither of these coileges was in existence, and the code specifically mentions but two, which effectuaily bars us out until | the Legislature, in recognition of our needs, passes Senate bill No. 265. An amendment has, however, been tacked on to the bill in the Senate that'is foreign to our wishes, and in the House failed 1o receive the approval of the House committee and seri- ously endangers the bill, The amendment abolishes the office of Quarantine Officer. This action not only brings the entie San Fran- cisco House delegation in opposition to the bill, but_the opposition may be potent to in- fluence the Governor 1o veto it if it passes. If the House refuses to concur in this amendment the bill dies, unless the Senate | shall recede from its emendment. Our students are thus denied admission to the City and County Hospital, but the quarantine | office is not abolished. We, therefore, beg und urge, basing our pe tition on justice and equity, that your hon- orabic Senate recede {rom the amendment when the bill returns from the House. Other- wise the biil fails on aceount of the amend. ment. Being near the close of the session there is barely iime now for its return to the Senate, but we .00k to you to help us by concurring with the Assembly amendment to save the bill wh'ch lets our students into the hospital.

He Says the West Is Enthusi- astic Over the Move- ment. The Consul for the North California Division Home From the > E:st Frank H. Kerrigan, chief consul of the North California Division, League of American Wheelmen, returned from the Esast last night, where he hay been to at- tend the National assembly of the league. He was met at the pier by Judge Dunne, Percy N. Long and other intimate friends, all prominent in local cycling matters, and talked freely of his experiences. Asis generally known, Judge Kerrigan went East with R. M. Welch as delegates to the assembly from Northern California, to secure the passage of an amendment permitting Sunday track-racing under the league's sanction in such divisions as desired it. The movement had the hearty support of Illinois, Louisiana and all the Western States, and was promised all the New York votes, but at the last moment Chief Uonsul Potter of New York deliberately broke his promise, and with this opposi- tion the measure was defeaied. Mr. Welei returned a week ago and Judge Kerrigan after waiting ten days to see if something could not be done has come back, his waiting having been fruit- less. He was seen on the boat by a CALL rep- resentative aud said: “Idon’t know whether you know it or not, but this thing is creating ten times more agitation in the East than it has here, though California is lookea upon, as the leacer of the movement. “I read the interview with Welch in THE CaLL a week ago while I was in Chicago, and I have thought just as he has said that we had better wait uutil the National circuit, which will begin late in April, leaves here before we secede if we do tnen. “I was talking with Root of the Referee in Chicago. He said, ‘Going to secede?’ I said, ‘Yes, I think so.” He said, ‘Ihat's right; you vught to. We'll be right with you.! And mind yon, the Referee made the hottest kind of a figut for Potter's election pefore the assemb.y. “Gerlach, the member of the National racing board in Chicago, is ready for secession and hates Potter and his Tam- manv-like methods as he would poison. ‘‘There are seyen members of the Na- tional racing board, and Chairman Gid- eon commands more respect than any man in the L. A. W. to-day. Well, sir, on Judge F. H. Kerrigan. the floor of the assembly he got up and said the board was unanimously in favor of Sunday racing under divisional option ; that every racing msn in the cozntry is in favor of it. Yet it was defeated. That shows how little the ieague cares for its racing interests. It was an outrage to re- fuse professionals admission to member- ship.” Asked directly as to his own position in the matter Judge Kerrigan said: ““Well, 1 feel this way: I am chief con- sul and I cannot be a traitor in office, It's just this—we have tracks to support and men are making a living out of racing. They can’t do it any more unless we have Sunday racing. Saturday aiternoon meets don't payv, and holiaays are too infre- quent. We have tested this thing thoroughly. “1 would say, stav in the league if we could get this mensuruf)usstd at the next session, bur we can’t. I said to Gerlaen in Chicago: ‘Is there any chance of our get- ting this next vear?' 'He said: 'By no means; the same self- ishness, narrow-mindedness and foolish ::nlimenn that prevail now will prevail then.’ Then again a lot of people think that il it was resubmirtted we would win, 2nd there is a chance of this. I waited as lcng | asI couid in New York, but didn’t see Potter again. 1doubt if he or his execu- tive commiitee conld do anything. is the assembly, which bas by a big vote stamped its cisapproval on Sunday rac- ing. How could Potter or the committee llk!? any favorable action in the face of this “‘My idea now is to resnbmit it by mail vote 1o the delegates. Itcould be cone very quickly. That would not obtain if it was not that we have got Potter and his crowd dead scared. *This secession talk, coming as it does from all parts of the country and from so many strong divisions, has frightened them, Potter, of course, wanis a success- ful administration, and here it would get a terrible setback at the very start. “I have been interviewed in a dozen different cities, but have declined to talk secessiun, Iam chief consul of this divi- sion and as such desire to avoid disrup- tion if possible.

From what I learned I feel sure if this were resubmitted we would get New York’s support, *That story about Welch and I being joshed while on the floor is all rot.

I told them aiterward that when we did_crooked politics in San Francisco, which was very seidom, we prided our- selves that they were pretty crioked; but we couldn’t hold a candle to them. “The most despised man on the floor was Monaghan, chief consul of the South- ern Calilornia division. Nobody liked him and he was hissed time and again. He wanted us to secede, conduct Sunday racing and take chances of getling back in the leasue next year. This was be- jore the vote. I replied that he was un- fair—that he wanted us to commit a wrong to establish a right. “The kastern delezates could not under- stand why California_was divided against itself, the south not favoring Sunday rac- ine. Iargued that the environments were different, so different that a division of the State had been found necessary. “I told therm abont the influx of East- ern people into Southern Caifornia. They had tried Sunday racing down thiere and it failed. Any meet would fail with only twelve riders competing, for that is ail they had. I quoted the Native Sons— only seven pariors in Southern California, against twenty-one in San Francisco alone and 180 in_Northern California. I lold them San Francisco was as far from Los Angeles according to train service as New York1s from Chicago; that to deny us the reasonable legislation we asked would strike at the very foundation of our cycling success, and yet they voted against ue."’ Judge Kerrigan said he had enjoyed his trip very much.

Application for Habeas Corpus Drawn to Balk Extra- diticn. Says He Is John Newmai and Was Unlawfu 1y Arrestcd on British Territory. Murderer Butler is destined to remain here many moons yet. His case will be carried to the United States Supreme Court on a certain appeal of an applica- | tion for habeas corpus. The application has been drawn up { by A. L. Black, counsel for the prisoner with many aliases. To-day it will be properly attested, so that it may be ready for hasty filing in the United States Cir- cait Court, ‘The nec-ssity for haste lies in the fact that ®legraphic orders may come to-day or to-morrow from Washington permit- ting the extradition of the murderer and the departure to-morrow of tiue Australian detectives with their prigoner aboard the steamship Alameda, bolind for Sydney, New South Wales, the city in wuich in the distant future the fiend of the Biue Mountsains must stand trial on a charge of several murders. The writ, however, will not be applied for until an order shall have been receive.i permitting Butler to be transporied to Australia. Should it come later the ob- jection will be interposed in time to pre- vent his removal by the -next steamer, which sails about two weeks hence from Victoria, B. C., for Sydney. Last Saturday all the papers in the case were mailed to Washington and will reach there to-day. On Sunday Mr. Cormac of the firm of Cormac & Donohoe, attor- neys for Great Britain in the Butler case, left here for Washington, presumably to see that no slip occurs in the issuance of the extradition papers. These are in substance the grounds upon which a writ of habeas corpus is asked for: The prisoner is not Frank Butler, or Frank Harwood, or Lee Weller, or any of the other aliases uner which he is con- fined. He is John Newman, a British subject, who has committed no erime sgainst the laws of California or the City and County of San Frangisco. He is here detained and deprived of his personal lib- erty by Barry Baldwin, United States Marsbal for the northern district of Cali- fornia. He was arrested wnile on British territorv—the British flag covering the Swanhilda and her cargo—and while on ‘his way from one partof the British do- main to another. He was not seeking the United States as an asylum or a refuge, and was forcibly and against his will re- moved from the British vessel in which he came from Austraiia. As the days pzss by Attorney Black is wondering if the check that Butler gave him on an Australian bank is g for anything. He sent it to Australia, but will not hear from it for neariy two months.

The report of a pistol atiracted quite a crowd to the corner of Powell and Eddy streets last night about 9 o’clock, and for some minutes the wildest rumors were afloat. It appeared that three young men had come ont of the Louvre and one of them had been fooling with a revolver. It went off accidentally and the bullet mearly killed S8am Marks, a young man well known among the sporting men. Marks was going up the steps leading to the billiard-rooms on the first floor of St. Ann's building at_the moment the pistol was discharged. He felt a stinging sensa- tion in his right hLip, but did notfora minute imagine that he had been bit by a bullet. The three young men disappeared as s00n as the pistol was discharged. Marks had a narrow escape. gy IMPERIAL COYOLERS' RACE. Entries and Handicaps for Sunday’s Road Event at Haywards.
