THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1897 - THEY RISE TO BLAST HEARST’S “NEW JOURNALISM.” His Eastern Paper Is Kicked Out of the Princeton University. THE GREATEST LIBRARIES AND SOCIAL FORCES RALLY TO ' THE CRUSADE. In Sudden and Mighty Concert the Moral Powers of the Land Smite the Hearst-Born Dragon. The most remarkable thing in the history of journalism and one of the most remarkable moral movements of the age is the great and daily accelerated uprising East and West against Hearst journalism. In the East it has within a few days become a vast and sweeping tide. Hearst’s New York Journal has within two weeks been kicked out of the great and ancient Apprentices’ Library, New York, out of the Public Library at Newark, New Jersey, out of Princeton Theological Seminary, out of Dwight Hall, Yale University, out of the public libraries of Bridgeport, Conn., Ansonia and South Norwalk, and out of the reading-rooms of the biggest branches of the Y. M. C. A. in New York. The New York World has been kicked out with its unclean rival. After these fleeing Ishmaelites of journalism are being hurled the curses of the decent men whose duty it is to protect these fountains of intellectual and moral truth from pollution. The action of the trusteesof the Newark Public Library, which was unanimously taken at a regular meeting, was mentioned in THE CALL two or three days ago,.as was the exactly similar action taken by the trustees of the Portland Public Library with reference to Hearst’s other criminals’ gazette, the San Francisco Examiner. Apprentices’ Library of New York. Newark Public Library. Princeton Theological Library. Portland Public Library. Yale University. Bridgeport Public Library. Ansonia Public Library. South Norwalk Public Library. Y. M. C. A. of New York and Watertown. There is deep significance in this list, though it is short. These are strong and representative library institutions. Library institutions represent the best of the character and taste of a community. Those who control such institutions formulate the wishes and reflect the sense and virtue of the general average of the patrons. The New York Journal and World have also been kicked out of the Century Club, the Harvard Club, the Union Club, the New York Club and the New York Yacht Club, all of New York City. The Montauk Club of Brooklyn has excluded the World, as has also the Y. M. C. A. of Watertown, N. Y. The Journal was never allowed to enter them. Many other public and semi-public institutions and schools, and even hotel news-stands, have put these papers under the ban of public condemnation. In many cases these ““yellow ” journals are simply put out of sight and handed out by the custodian on special request, as is done in libraries with certain unclean works of historical value. New York Club. Century Club. New York Yacht Club. Union Club. Harvard Club. Montauk Club. The chief significance lies in the fact that the action of these institutions means that a new and ‘great movement in behalf of public morality and social order in this country has just begun, and it is gathering momentum each day. There has just appeared amid the great strivings which the Nation is watching an uprising against the excesses of this “new (!) journalism ”—against this Hearst-born journalism, which is the latest great abnormal development of the newspaper world. This has just now become one of the great movements of the day which is worthy of studious watching. It is an entity, and different and apart from all the criticisms and denunciations of the press, which have so long been flying from pulpit, rostrum and study tables. These have been sporadic. They were the preliminary mutterings. This is the natural history of reformations. Men here and there shout long and unheeded. Then one day come the mighty blows that drive and crush and build anew. The philosophic historian will doubtless in the future treat of this strong and general uprising against an outraging of the public moral sense and the liberty of the press as 2 new and notable social force which appeared at this time, measur- ing the strain which the average public sentiment could stand and having a definite effect on one of the greatest social influences of the day. The extent and verity of this strong rebellion against ‘“‘Hearstism” is just being perceived. The action of these institutions of learning is only one manifesta- tion of it. In the New York Legislature there is pending a bill prohibiting any news- paper from publishing a person’s picture without his consent. In the Arizona Legis- lature a bill now pending is so stringent that it has been described as a bill making it a felony to publish a newspaper, and here is our own Caiifornia Legisiature engaged in jailing Mr. Hearst’s “‘managing news editor” for ruthless and wholesale libel. And all this is a development of three or four weeks. New York Legislature. Arizona Legislature. California Legislature. Educational institutions and State Legislatures rising in the four quarters of the continent to protect good citizenship from “new journalism!” Shades of Addison and De Foe! Shades of Franklin and Greeley | That list of libraries is not long, but is growing daily. There are others, and there will be others, but there is a relevant point of interest to note. The list cannot become very long, because the New York Journal has never gained an entry into the great majority of libraries. Library reading-rooms in even third and fourth class cities make a point of having from one to a half-dozen representative New York dailies. lances at a large number of library reports for 1896 show that while the Herald, Sun and Tribune are nearly always taken the Journal appears with great rarity, and the World is but slightly more popular. So the New York Journal is only being kicked out of the few libraries into which it was ever ‘allowed to enter. The men who are the head and front of this new crusade are not cowled saints and cloistered *‘ goody-goodies.” They are mainly strong, honorable, respectable and intelligent men of the world, with average respect for the good and average sense of human rights and what protection society needs. They are members of legislatures and members of the governing boards of public and. semi-public institu- tions. Besides, the decent press of the country and decent citizens gerferally are in the ranks and giving force to the movement. The expressions that are pouring forth in condemnation of the Hearst type of journalism would fill volumes. Strong and prophetic words are the following by Rev. Dr. William C. Roberts of Princeton Theological Seminary : ““ Princeton is extremely conservative, and would not have taken this action without good and sufficient cause. 1 think the example will be productive of much good, as educational institutions will now take the matterup. *Other religious bodies will also fall in line. People cannot take such papers home without danger. If some concerted movement could be inaugurated to suppress these examples of ‘new jour- nalism’ it would be a grand thing, and I, as well as other ministers, will say ‘Amen’ to any effort to accomplish this.” From the Apprentices® Library of New York comes this explanation and declara- tion by C. C. Alexander, chairman of the reading-room committee: ““We have excluded both the World and Journal from our reading-room, because we have concluded that neither of them contains the kind of literature we care to put before our members. We do not wish to disseminate this sort of reading matter. ““Far and wide I find that there is a2 wholesome sentiment growing in opposition ‘to it. 1 have occasion to learn what is going on in many large institutions, and in all of them I have found the same feeling of repugnance. In our library we take the same ground practically that was taken by the officials of the Newark Public Library in excluding these papers. taken them off our tables.” In short, we have no use for them, and have, therefore, The New York Society for the Prevention of Vice has not yet taken any formalac- tion regarding W. R. Hearst’s “new journalism,”’ but at a recent meeting under the auspices of the society in Carnegie Hall Rev. W. H. P. Faunce, pastor of the Fifth- avenue Baptist Church, boldly put forth applauded sentiments which well ex- pressed the average sentiment of men. Among his words were the following : ““There is a fierce struggle goingon to-day between reputable and truthful jour- nalism on the one side and what calls itself the ‘new journalism,” but which is really as old as sin itself. The newspapers in this metropolis penetrate every hamlet and village between the tvo oceans. If our journals were united in the defense of evil, our task would be almost hopeless; If they were united in the defense of good, our task would be well nigh needless. divided against itself, and therein lies our But now the journalism of our time is a house opportunity. Let every man who respects himself, who loves his country and his home stand by, cheer and encourage and sub- stantially support - those journals which to-day are standing for truthfulness in the reporter’s pen, honor in the editorial chair and honesty in the business office. (Ap- plause.) “One journal, published in this city daily, which fears neither God nor man, before whose natural propensities no manhood is be- yond attack, no womanhood is secure, and no childhood is safe, has recently been excluded from the public library in the clty of Newark by the unanimous vote of the management. Would to God that all its kith and kin might be excluded from every library and every home where American childhood is permitted to enter! “New journalism. They call it new? Itisold as the orgies of Nero on the Tiber; as old as the nameless vice of Pompelii, that God burned and buried beneath the hissing lava out of the wrathful throat of Vesuvius. It is as old as the shame of Noah and the murder of Cain, and the man who daily introduces it into his home is opening up direct communication between the cradle and the sewer, between the nursery and the poisonous swamp, and the result is the immediate introduction of moral typhoid into his family. ““Is it of any advantage to us to have the suicide of some embruted wretch pre- sented to us with the picture of the man at the moment he takes his hapless life ? It is simply an attempt to fill the private purse by public ruin, to make life hideous and degraded, and to poison the wells out of which the Nation must drink. ““All honor to those journals in our metropolis which are launching their broad- sides against this thing. Success to their work, and let every honorable and reasonable man stand by them.” A famous triumph is Mr. Hearst’s for me and my paper!” cries he. “new journalism.” “What a great ad An inscrutable wisdom provides uses for all things and Mr. Hearst has afforded atime and a measure to sound the moral sense of the ‘American people anew. ENGINEERS AND PILOTS NECESSARY New Regulations Regard- ing Gas and Naphtha Vessels. Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Receive Impeortant In- structions. An Act of Congress That Affects a Large Numb:r of Craft Plying on This Coast. The United States Supervising and Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels have just been notified by the Treasury De- partment of important amendments re- cently passed by Congress to the statutes relating to vessels propelled by gas, fluid, naphtha or electric motors. Hitherto it has not been necessary for vessels propelled by the means men- ticned to have licensed engineers or pilots, or to observe the regulations that pertain to steam vessels. As a conse- quence a large number of small vessels operated by gas and naphtha have come into use, the cost for both help and fael being far less than that of steamboats. On January 18 the following act of Con- gress was approved: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled: That ail ves- sels of above fliteen tons burden carrying freight and passemgers for hire, propelled by gas, fluid, naphtha or electric motors, shall be and are hereby made subject to all the pro- visions of section 4426 of the Revised Statutes of the United States relating to the inspection of hulls and bollers, and_requiring engineers and pilots; and all vessels 5o propelied, with- out regard to tonnage or use, shall be sabject to the provisions of section 4412 of the Revised Statutes of the United States relating to the regulation of steam vess n passing cach other, and to so much of sections 4233 and 4234 of the Revised Statutes relating to lights, fog siguals, steering and sailing rules as the supervising inspactors shall by their regulations deem applicable and practicable for their safe navigation. The Boara of Supervising Inspectors under the authority of this law have adopted the following regulations in rela- tion to the class of vessels meéntioned, the regulations applying to all the navigable waters of the United States: All rules relating to lights, fog steering and sailing contained in section 4233, Revised Statutes, and applying to steam ves- sels, shall a0 apply Lo ail vessels propelled by gas, fluid, naplitha or electric motors, and be- tween any of such vessels and sicam vessels on the racific Cosst inlan® waters, with the ex- ception that the red and green lights on oven vessels ob ten gross tons and under pro- pelled by gas, fluid, naphths or eleciric motors, may be exhibite b{ & combined lantern showing & red light and a green light, as described in rule 13 of sald section 4233,in lieu of all other lights for yessels under way. When the range and side lights are carried on such vessels of ten gross tons and under, the after-range light shail e carried at an elevation of at least seven feet above the light at the head of the vessel. S8uch vessels of ten gross rons and under, if proviaed witha bell six inches in diameter, of good tone and quality, to be rung by hand in fog or thick weather, shall be deemed properly equipped in that respect. The local inspectors have notified the owners of a large number of vessels carry- ing freight and pussengers on this coast that their boats must carry licensed en- gineers and pilots, and all violatiors will be reported and the guilty parties pun- ished. # The regulations as to lights, fog signals, etc,, apply to hundreds of launches that are in use on the bay and the streams emptying into it, and will be of great in- terest to the owners of these craft, NEW TRIAL FOR EGAN, Supreme Court Reuders & Declsion in a Case Arising From the Kleo- tion of 1894, The Supreme Court has reversed the decision of the lower court in the case of James Egan, who was convicted of violat- ing the purity of election law. Five other election officers were » similarly charged. The Supreme Court held that the case for the prosecution was circum- stantial, and that while there was a gross error in the returns, the records show that the evidence did not warrant the verdict ‘Therefore Egan’s petition for a which was denied by the lower court, w: The trouble grew out of the contest between C.

BLOTTED OUT BY JUDICIAL. INK Last Hope of the Blythe Contestants Under a Cloud. The Supreme Court Refuses to Let the Matter Be Carried Higher. There Was No Error in the Judgment and Order of Distribution of the Estate. The Blythe contest is drawing to an end. By a decision of the State Supreme Court yesterday Florence, the child of the late Thomas H. Blythe, secured a stronger hold upon’ the property of the pioneer millionaire. As alast stand Chandler, Halladay & Conroy, representing William 8. Blythe and_the heirs of James T. Blythe, de- ceased, made an effort to have the case carried to the United States Supreme Court. The petitioners state that the question they wished to take to the United States Supreme Court was whether the Superior Court of California was not utterly with- out jurisdiction to hear the petition for distribution filed by Florence Blythe for reason of the fact, appearing upon the face of her petition, that she was at the time of descent cast, a non-resident alien and incompetent to take said property by descent or to sue therefor.

At last ex-Mayor Sutro has signed the desired deed now securely reposing in the vault of the Nevada Bank. A few pro- visos still stand in the way, but they are fast vanishing. When the last stumbling- block is consigned to the “backward and abysm of time’’ the Supervisors will accent the deed without any redtape and work will begin, Practically speaking, preliminary work bas already begun. Taking six men with him Mr. Eagan went out to the park yes- terday and made a call upon Superintend- ent McLaren, who pointed out the loca- tion of the wheelbarrows. The men at once begun putting them in condition for heavy use. To-morrow morning construc tion will begin on the toolhouse. ‘Work will commence on the Almshouse road, about 100 feet from the Sutro_tract. The question of transportation is still giv- ing some trouble, for the men must travel to the terminus of the Haight-sireet line, then take the Park and Ocean steam cars, and finally make a walk of fifteen or twenty minutes’ duration. The sub-committee, composed of W. M. Bunker and Messrs. Ellert, McCord, 0O’Connor, Bemis and Wheeler, met at Mr. Bemis’ office, 324 Montgomery street, yes- terday. Thomas Eagan was elected super- intendent and Mr. Terrill his assistant. The wages agreed upon are $1 a day net, if free transportation 1s given by the rail- road; if not, $110 will be paii. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald has embarrassed the company in its work a good deal by demanding that the men be paid twenty cents an hour. He seems not 1o realize that this is a charitable movement for which benevolent-minded persons are working with no desire for pecuniary reward, but to think that it is to find regular employment. The boulevard fund is rapidly swelling. The following subscriptions were handed in to Treasurer Daniel Meyer yesterda: Pope & Talbot, $50; Buena Vista School teachers, Rincon Grammar School teach- ers, $13§50; Girls' High School teache: John Sweet Grammar School teacher: Hancock GrammarSchool teachers,$16; Shes man Primary School teachers, §9; Agassiz Pri- mary School teachers, $3 50.

The applicants belonged mostly 1o the laboring class, but there were many men stepped up and wrote their names iu a hand which showed pretty conclusively that the graphite was no stranger. One of the applicauts was 8o strangely out of place as to be worthy of notice. By a letter which he submitted for the in- spection ot the secretarv it was revealed that he was a Kunight Templar who a few years ago was worth $80,000. His health failed, his means dwindled away, and now he is oblived to resort to manual la- bor to support his family.

George McGregor Demcon Arrested on a Bench Warrant. George McGrezor Deacon, the defanlt- ing bookkeeper of W. R. Larzelere, com- mission merchant, was released yesterday morning by Acting Police Judge Kerrigan on $1000 bonds. 3 Shortly afterward Larzelere appeared in court and protested against the small amount of the bonds. He said that Deacon’s defalcations would reach the sum of $15,000 and he thought the bonds for his release should be increased. Judge Kerrigan said he was not awars of the extent of Deacon’s deficiency when he fixed his bonds at $1000. He at once rescinded that order and fixed the bonds a1 $5000. He also issued a bench warrant for Deacon’s arrest. Deacon was arrested and locked up in the Gity Prison. ————— Allowance of Ex for Witn City and County Attorney Creswell has fur. nished an opinion to the Board ot Supervisors that ever since 1876 a witness in attendance upon a trial can be given an allowance by ti court when necessary for his expenses.

There was a long-continued and stormy meeting of 400 of unemployed last night in the main hal! of the old armory that th‘e’y make their headquarters. e-President Davies, late chairman of the recently ousted relief committee, had preferred charges against Leffingwell, the president of the organization. He charged him with misappropriating funds; with depleting the commissary; with want of executive ability, and with not having done anything to get the men work. Leffingwell made a statement in which he said the old relfef committee had done much to attempt to harass him and to thwart the purposes of the organization, and he denied each one of the charges. One temporary chairman, despairing of maintaining order, resigned and Munn presided during the remainder of the meeting. Leffingwell was put on the stand, while Davies did the questioning As the pecu- liar trial progressed it gscamo evident that the charges were unfounded and untair, but though a good majority stood firmly by the imperiled president of the organization, there was a large enough number of diszensionists to form an ef- fective opposition ready and willing for almost any kind of a change. In this wa) the storm and strife was maintained until 11 o’clock, at which hour an adjournment was taken until 1 o’clock this afternoon, when the remaining charges will be dealt FOOTE'S ACTION RATIFIED Opium Seized at the Instance of Special Agents to Be Released. Treasury Department Te'egraphs to That Effect — M jor Moore Much Cispleased. The immense amount of opium seized by the customs officials at the instigation of Special Treasury Agents Moore, Cul- lum and West will be returned to its own- ers as soon as they care to call for it, for the Treasury Department has bacxed up United Btates District Attorney Foote in his opinion that there is no legal ground R The United States Attorney recelved a telegram from the authoritiesat Wes ington to that effect yesterday afternoon, and as soon as Collector Wise has been officially notifiad of the Treasury Depart- ment's action the opium will be released. It will be placed at the disposal of H. P. Davidson, assistant ‘accountant of the Bank of British Columbia, who figures on the Custom-house books as its owner, but who, the special agents claim, is simply the agent of Quong Fong Tai & Co. and other Chinese merchants who control the opium market in this City. To say that Major Moore is chagrined at the turn_ affairs have taken is putting it m:laly. Encouraged by the first opin- ion of Attorney Foote, which was to the effect that if the facts were piesented there was a good case against the opinm and its importers, the agent bent all bis energies to get the matter in shape. He worked long and earnestly with_his as- sistants, and thought that the filing of an information against the big consignment of Davidson was certaiu. Then the attorney changed his mind after looking into the subject more thor- oughly, and the agent’s work was simply 80 much time wasted. His comments on the United Stat es Dis- trict Attorney and Collecior Wise are somewhat drastic, but he sees at present no way out of the dificulty. IV HONOR OF THE STATE Native Sons and Daughters Getting Ready to Celebrate May 4 A Parade in the Forenoon and a Ball and Entertainment in the Evening. =The joint carnival committes of the Native Sons and Daughters of the Golden ‘West held a busy session last night, at which considerable progress was made toward the completion of an,attractive programme for May 4, “California Day.” The fons and Daughters will hold a grand parade in the forenoon, and a feat- ure of this part of the programme will be ten or more arcistic floats, symbolizing the most important events in the history of the State, the carnival executive committee having undertaken to prepare the samwe. Sol Jacobs, L. Lansing and Mrs. H. M. Green were appointed a commitiee of three to devise some form of entertain- ment for the forenoon of the 4th, in addi- tion to the parade. In this connection a suggestion was made that the Chutes should be utilized, but no definite ar- rangement was concluded. _An evening dress ball will be given on the it of May 4 in the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion, the price of admission being $1 for lady and gentleman and 50 cents extra for each additional lady. . Mrs. Lena B. Mills of Orinda Parlor, with the help of others among the Native Daughters, is preparing a series of living pictures for production in connection with the ball, anager Friedlander having kindly promised to provide the large frame, lights and other necessary ap- pliances for the purpose in use at the Cal- ifornia Theater. He hes also undertaken to supply suitable taleat for the entertain- ment which will precede the ball. The executive committee will bear the expense of furnishing the music and decorations. The Southern Pacific Company has agreed to extend the time for which tick- ets issued to delegaies attending the Grand Parlor at Redwood City on April 26 are available, so that the holders may remain over the carnival. At tne suggestion of ths executive com- mittee, two more members were added Lo that body from the Native Daughters and the Native Sons, in the persons of Mrs. er{{.Tillm-n, grand president, and Jos- eph K. Hawkins of Pacific Parlor. The committee then adjourned antil next Saturday evening. ALARMS THE MERCHANTS Theaters Buy Their Tickets of a Chicago Printing- House. Will Be Called to the Attention of the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association. It has recently come to- the knowledge of members of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association that another big slice of business that should go to local hcuses has been diverted to an Eastern concern, and the matter will be called to the attention of the organization that has for its motto “‘Keep the Money at Home’ at the next regular meeting. To people unacquainted with the cost of furnishing tickets for the local theaters the items of cardboard and printing would seem small ones, but when it is known that the tickets cost the play- houses on the aggregate $1500 to $2000 per month the importance of -this item of trade to San Francisco paper and print- ‘ing houses can be understood. The agent of a Chicago concern known as the Globe Ticket Company recently came to this City and made contracts with the majority of the theaters to print their tickets. His prices were somewhat lower than those quoted by local printers, and he secured the plum, The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation will probably make a deter- mined eftort to bring the trade back to Ban Francisco as soon as the presentcon- tracts expire, or before, if possible. The manager of a prominent paper-house said yesterday that Eastern concerns were making constant inroads into the busi- ness of local paper and printing houses becanse of the prices they quote. “The local printing-houses,” he said, “do not seem to understand that they are cutting their own throats by letting these jobs go out of San Francisco. The diffe ence between San Francisco and Chicago prices on this very item of theater tickets is not very large, and there would still be a profit if the printers would take the work at the prices quoted by the Eastern houses. “It would not be quite so profitable, but it woud give men work and keep the money in circulation here. I have no doubt the association will look into the matter and see what can be done, and I am sure the theaters will be glad to atronize home industry if the prices can Ee arranged satisfactorily.” —————— Music at the Park, The programme of music at the park for to- day 1s as follows: March, “Pride of the Navy, Oregon” “Danza Fantastiza” “My Darktown Next Sunday E.

The Greatest Treatment of a Great Specialist. It Has Cured Thousands Throuzhout the Country and Will Cure You The private formula of Doctor Cook for the secret ailments of men is regarded by the medical authorities in general, as well as by he himself, as the crowning glory of his professional carcer. It is a treat- ment known to no other physician in America. It is distinctly of bis own origin or discovery, and is the result .of a lifetime of hard work and persistent atu}iv, diligent research, and scientific investiga- tions in this and foreign lands. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effect. It does not stimulate temporarily, but restores permanently. During the past fifteen months it has been tested on more than six thousand young, middle-aged and old men, who, as the result of errors or ex- # cesses, were tortured fi' by the woes of nerv- ous debility and sex- ual decay. It has never yet iailed, even in the worst of cases, to bring back manly power and to remove every frace and symptom of W ness. Doctor Cook is not only an expert on all sexual diseases, de- formities or debi ties, but he treats with wonderful sucoe: female complaints, piles, rupture, rheu- matism, catarrh, blood and skin diseases, end functional diseases of the eye, ear, brain, nose, throat, heart, lungs, liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder and urinary orga; The doctor is in his office, which is per- manently located at 865 Market street, every day from 9 to 12 A.
