————— i | INDICTMENTS HANGING OVER THEIR HEADS Three Assemblymen Likely to Be Prosecuted in Court, BERT PACKARD DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION. Dec'ares That He Did Not Send the Telezrams Mide Public in the Legisiature, and That He Has B en U:jus'ly Accused Matters are rapidly cry ng in con- nection with the reports that money had | been corruptly used in ihe Assembly to | secure the passage of bill, The prospects now are that two Grand | Juries will soon be taking a hand in this | melodramatic legacy ot the Legislature. | One may be engaged in investigating the | alleged corrupt connection of Bert Pack- | ard with the passage of the bill. The other may be asked to weigh the evidence | r s charge of criminal conspiracy | gairst the sanctity of telégraphic dis-| patches to be preferred against Assembly- | men Burnett, Anderson and Melick and | the proprietor of the Examiner. | There is no doubt, as will be seen from | the subjoined interviews with Superin- | tendent Jaynes of the Western Union | Telegraph Company and ex-Judge R. B. Carpenter, the attorney of the company. | that criminal proceedings are to be insti- | tuted against the three Assemblymen | Who composed the sub-committee which | seized the box of telegrams at the Sacra- mento railroad depot. While it 1s known | that the Examiner placed money and other means at the disposal of the com- m to enable it to carry out its alleged ul seizure of dispatches, there is tion as to whether it can be con- nected legally with the finsl consumma- | tion of the act. If this can be established | the proprietor of that journal will also be | proceeded agamst. Bert Packard has turned up at Sacr mento and in an interview with a CALL correspondent, given in another coiumn, assexts his, innocence and deciares he is | ious for an investigation. 1 the capital city tue general opinion is | that no money was paid for votes to pass | e coyole bill, and if any was paid to | ackard he retained it all for his own en- | richment. | In the dying hours of the Assemblya | resolution was passed requesting Attorney- General Fiizgerald to defend the members | f the cogote ibery committee in any tion that might be brought against . 1f acivil action were to be insti- tuted he could, and undoubtedly would, appear in their behalf, but he is debarred by reason of being the State’s chief legal prosecutor, from defenaing any person in | acriminal action. 1f any State official | e charged with a_criminal offense his | duty would call him to the side of the | prosecution. For these reasons it can be staied as a fact that he will not defend the three committemen should an indictment | found against them. Superintenaent Jaynes of the Western Tnioa Telegraph Company was somewhat | matter of the | he coyote claims | th Wi U averse to discussing seized telegrams yesterday, deciaring that it was in the hands of the company’s_at- torney, ex-Jud:e R. B. Carpenter. But be felt’ too keenly the manner in which | ihe company had been treated not to take | advantage of the opportunity to explain its- position. *“They used force,” he said, “to compel | the agent of Wells, Fargo & Co. to give up | the box of dispatches. No subpena had been issued for it and there was no poss hie excuse for the violence they used. The committes showed an utter disregard of good faith. They had promised not to resort-to this method, as we had agreed to produce the telegram for which they had issued the subpena. Chairman Melick | eaid that was all that was requirea and | deciared the committee wouid take no | further action in the matter so long as | the box was being brought back to Sacra- mento. “Under the circumstances there is noth- ing for the company to do but to pursue this matter as far as it can 30 as to protect its business. As none of these three men can be reached in a civil suit for damages owing to their financial standing the mat- ter will have to be referred to the Grand Jury in order to meet the issue and make & proper test. “‘Some criticism_has been made on the company’s action in sending the messages out of the State. They were sent away before any processahad been issued, and even if they had been placed beyond the iction of the committee I should not e resused to give up any message that had been properly and legally ordered to be produced. Thatthecompany has acted in perfect good faith is shown by the fact | at the message sent to Constable Long at Truckee was prompily delivered. It could have been held at the office in Truckee. We were not called upon. to gend out and find the constable.

Three members of the commit- tee out of the nine issued a subpena on Mr. Senf, the Sacramento manager of the Western Un.on Telegraph Company, to produce a‘telegram sent from the Sacra- mento office to Bakersfield, directed to Bloage: and signed “Bert.” Mr. Benl is an old gentleman, over 80 years of age, yery infirm in every way, and he in obedience 1o the subpena, appeared and then asked them to be allowed to consult counsel. The Examiner was represented by Mr. Clunie, and Mr. Clunie insisted tiat he had no right to counsel, and th: fraction of the commiitee so decided. ““ITie disp=tches had been sent away by Mr. Senf, and he told tnis committee that lie hnd sent them away and where he had sent them. The committee telegraphed to & Constable at Trugkee to getthem, and at that stage of the proceedings I ar- rived in Sacramento and had an inter- view with the committee. I spoke with its chairmap, Mr. Melick, and he told me THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1897 that all they wanted was the dispatch they had asked for, and I agreed with him that Mr. Senf would produce that dispatch. It was known that the dispalches were on their way back, and it was arranged that at 8 o’ciock in the morning the man- ager of the telegraph company and mysell would be at the committee-room; would unfasten the box, take out the dis. patch they wanted and give it to them. They said this was entirely satisfactory. “Instead of doing as they agreed they went down to the depot between 6 and 7 o'clock in the morning, took the dis- patches by force from Wells, Fargo & Co., carried them to room 72 in the Capitol and rifled and examined all the dispatches that had been sent from Sacramento from the 4th day of March down to the 18th. “This was done with locked doors. No- body was permitted to 2o in or have any access to them whatever. “It was reported, and Mr. Burnett { stated it in & speech, that Mr. Jaynes broke open the door. 'He did nothing of the kind. The door was opened ior some body to go in and he followed. There was no breaking of locks or doors or anything else. “We regard the whole performance as an outrage, indefensible from any point of tirst place, no demand had been made for any other than the one dispatch, and that we were ready to give them. “In the next place there had been no authority conferred upon the committee to take any such course, and if the Legis- lature had attempted to confer sucn power it would have been illegal. These dispatches were our property. The com- mittee had no right to them whatever. It Iaid no foundaton for securing any of them, except the one of March 11. “It'goes without saying that it is illegal and a public offense for any telegraph company’s agent, mana:er, operator ‘or any other person to take the dispatches that belong to the company that have been sent by its patrons and examiue them and make them public. “Qur rights have been invaded ruth- lessly by this part of the committee. What course wiil be pursued in the future I do not now care to discuss. The Western Union Telegraph Company has a large property. Its entire value consists of its good faith and the secrecy of its dispatches. It every demagogue, because he happens to be in the Legislature and on a commit- tee, can violate the sanctity of those dis- patches and destroy our property ruth- lessly, we may as well know it and go into some other business.” How the Examiner figured in the case and how the matter was viewed by the committee is shown in this statement made by Chairman Melick at Sacramento on Saturday: “After the adjournment of the Legisla- tnre last night there was a tender of a special train by the Examiner people to take us to Truckee, and get the box which contained all the dispatches sent from Sacramento from the 5th of March up to the present time. 1 considered that ihe Examiner was doing this for a sensation rather than for the good of the State, and T felt that it was notri_ht for us as officers | of the State to accept the tender of & irain in that way. “‘After we had declined the offer the committee azain held a session until about 2A. ., and we d-cided that three of us sbould go up to Rockiin. Afterward we found ihat we could not get through in time, and we decided to meet at the depot | as the train came in at5:50 A. M. Messrs. Burnett, Anderson and myself were at the depot as the train came in and met Con- stable C. W. Long of Truckee, who told us that he had got off at each station be- tween here and Truckee, and he was po: tive that the box which he had taken into his possession was on the train in the express-car. “We did not see any box put off, and just as the train was about to puil out we | rushed into the car and served a blanket subpena through the sergeant-at-arms of the Assembly, who accompanied us, and we demanded to know where that box was, and we said that the train would be held until he toid us. *‘Tke conductor heid the train, and the messenger said that the box had already gone into Wells, Farzo & Co.’s express of- fice at the depot. We went into the de- pot and found that the agent had un- locked a large box, and inside of that was a box weighing about thirty pounds. We demanded it nnder the subpena, and after signing a receipt for it we entered a hack and returned to ti.e committes-room 72 in the Capitol at about 6:30 A. M “There Anderson, Burnett, John Wra; our clerk, and myself locked the door and went into executive session and examined all the dispatches in the box from March 5 10 the present date. We separated out of the whole baich fourteen that had a direct bearine on this case. We tied up the oth- ers us they were before and sea ed them in the box, and delivered them to Jaynes in person. From the telegrams and the fact that Bert Packard was contlnually on the floor lobbying on behalf of the coyote scalp biil, I would infer that money was used, but I frankly confess t.at there was no absolute proof beiore the committee that Packard was not bleeding Banker Blodget for his own gain.” Later Mr. Melick added the following statement: “In two respects I think the Western Union Telegraph Company made grave mistakes to put it mildly. First, in undertaking to defeat the ends of legisla- tion by thus hurriedly sending desired telegrams from the State, and second, by | its superintendent breaking into a room where a le-islative committee was at work. Ibad no personal ends in view in this investigation. I did not desire to take it up, and twice vigorously objected on the floor of the House to underiakinz it, but as it was forced upon my com- mittee I made up my mind to leave no stone unturned in doing the work directed, regardless of whom 1t might hit, or whether a poor person or a great corpora- tion is directed to do anything - Attorney-General Fitzgeraid’'s impres- sion of the action of the committee is in- dicated in the following few but signifi- cant sentences: *‘The committee sent down to me to ask my opinion as to whether they had the right to open the box of dispaiches. I found that they had already opened it, and refused to give them any opinion. No committee has the right to require me to give an opinion, but the Lesislature may county, thought it no more than a duty 4ue his constituents to try and have the bill pa-sed, and succeeded by agreeing to assist Mulcrevy. “That not one cent of money was used to procure this result Iam fully convinced in my own mind, and that Packard used any is also a mistake. The idea that Power received any is farcical, because we were very friendly, and I never knew him tobe in” funds only after drawing his rooney on his warrant. How I know these things I do not care to state, but you can just bet your pile that what I am telling you is dead straight.” Bert Puckard, who was very much in evidence here tb-day, said to a CALL repre- sentative: “I am not very ambitious to be inter- viewed on this subject, not because I have used any underband means to procure the passage of the coyote ciaim biil, but_be- cause I consider the cliarges farcical in the extreme, and a foolish method on the part of the Examiner to kick up a sensa- tion and to get square on the Hale & reross fake. for me that I have never made any attempt to keep shady or to es- cape public view. I never sent ane of the telegrams which are attributed to me and which have created such an uncalled for sensation; in fact, 1 cannot see in what way they have been as yet connected with the pussage of the coyote claims bill ex- cept by inference. I wish also to say that I huve never under any circumstances paid one cent of money toany member ot the Assembly, nor have I promised to pav any member any sum to procure the pas- sage of the coyote orany other claims. “I am only too willing to be investi- gated by any Grand Jury, and will make Lo effort to e:cape such investigation. There are other Berts in the worid and there are other claims beside coyotes, and ONE DAY WITH BOOTH-TUCKER [He Explains His Coloniza- tion Scheme to Busi- ness Men. This Will Be Presented Later to Capitalists for Ap proval. Y.sterday Morning the Commander Urged the Co-Operation of tte Ministers. Commander Booth-Tucker of the Salva- tion Army presented a clear exposition of his colonization scheme toa representa- tive audience of San Francisco business men at the Chamber of Commerce yester- day afternoon and twenty minutes later the following resolution, proposed by lieved and these people instead of becom-! ing tax consumers would become tax pro- ducers. More than that, the value of land would be increasea right away. and iand now worth $3 or_$4 per acre would then be worth from $100 to $1000. This was what happened in Eneland. We pur- chased some time ago 1000, acres of land near the mouth of the Thames at the rate of $100an acre. It 1s now'selling at from $500 1o $1000 an acre. The root of t present_difficulty is’ that while the cities are suffering from over-population the agriculturists are suffering from the very opposite evil, The centripetal forces of the city have been such as to attract the population, and our charitable institu- tions have encouraged 'this ten-i®ncy in. stead of setting centrifugal influences in operation for the distribution of surplus labor over the country. “This scieme can thoroughly tion—able to pay its way onable interest as well. Suppose we have 1000 acres of land which we are going to colonize with 200 families in five-acre blocks. Our idea would be to senc out twenty single men to prepare the first twenty lots, after which twenty fam ilies would walk right in and take posse: sion. They in their turn would prepare the way for the next fifty families and those seventy families for the next hun- dred, and so on. Out of the money earned from the sale of milk, butter, etc., and oc- casional work on the ranchesin the neigh- borhood they would soon be in a position to pay for the land. Presuming five-acre block to cost $500 the owner would be asked to pay a dollar 2 woek, or 5 per cent for interest and 5 per cent for repayments.

I reiterate that I never sent one of those telegrams to Blodzet, nor have I paid or promised to pay one cent to any member for his vote on any claim. I don’tcare whether I am quoted or not, as I have been unjustly jumped by the press in this coyote matter ever since its introduction during this session. I have an idea that it will be hard to prove a man guilty of what he is perfectly inno- cent of.” Governor Budd has left the city fora short vacation, and could not be inter- viewed on the subject. In speaking of the subject Controller Colgan sai * As far as the merits of the coyote claim bill are concerned I per- sonaliy pbelieve that the bill is all right.

SBACRAMENTO, CaL., March 23.—The general consensus of public opinion as ex- pressed by such of the public officials as could be prevailed upon to talk upon the subject, by the attaches of the late Legis. lature and by sundry shrewd members of the Third House who linger around the battiefield, is that not one atom of money was used to procure the passage of the coyote claim bill, and that the sudden switch of fifteen voles made on reconsid- eration was the resuit of one of those legit- imate combinations which were so much in evidence during the entire session. ““There has never been a session in the history of the State,” said one of those shrewd manipulators of legislative meas- ures, *in which there has been so much of this oid talk *You vote for my bill and 1'l1 vote for yours’ and such a dead square carrying out of such propositions, as has been done at this session; and it is my opinion that Bert Packarn had a very small portion in having the vote changed in the coyote scalp claims bill, not but what he would Lave been perfectly willing to have assumed that honor could he haye done so. And who would blame him ? *Now, although I do not want to be personally quoted in this matter, as I was in no way connected with those interested in the passage of this bill, still there were other bilis that I was interested in, and in my connection with these 1 often came indirectly in contact with the coyote bili, and, in my opinion, the change of votes was procured by a combination which re- sulted in the appcintment of Harry L Mulcrevy as Registrar of Voters in ‘San Francisco, and was mainly due to the efforts of that ambitious young Assem- blyman from Kern, E. J. Emmons, who, knowing that a large portion of these claims were held by the people of his . |heirogiuion are Iraudulent, I can see but. little chance for false ciaims. I think the bill should become a law, I think that it possesses so much merit that there was not the siightest need to use money to lobby its passage, nor do I think for one moment that any mbney was used, but this is only my individuai opinion.” TRIO OF WILLS.

Among other prominent Balvationists at yesterday’s meeting, ir addition to the commander, were Lieutenant - Colonel Keprel, Major Mclntyre, the general sec- retary, Major Milsaps of the War Cry, Major Winchells and Adjutant George 8. Moutgomery. The ctiairman, Hugh Craig, introduced the commander, and in doing so spoke briefly on the questions at issue. He re- ferred to the existing situation in San Francisco and the melancholy fact that 1estitution makes men willing to work for $1 a day, and eightor ten hours a day. He insisted that the solution of the problem must be found in some plan whereby the surplus population can be placed upon the land. Commander Booth-Tucker dealt- with phases of the sociological problem before speaking of the army’s plan of coloniza- tion. He undertook to correct certain mistaken jmpressions as to the cope of its proposals to ameliorate poverty, de- claring that it was ridiculous to suppos as some people apparently believed, th: the expenditure of $500.000 would ' wipe out destitution altogether. The commander gave some interesting statistics to show the extert of the'army’s social work; calling special attention to the city colonies in this country and their remarkable development during the last few months. The institutions in San Francisco included a prison-gate farm, a labor bureau, a clinic, a poor man’s law- yer and a children’s home. The Pingree plan for the cultivation of vacant lots was referrea to as an excellent expedient for temporary Telief and one calcuiated to give the cultivator a rough and ready xnowledge of agriculture, which would the better qualify him to join one of the army colonies. 'he commander explained the latter the following terms: ‘‘These farm colonies are to consist of from 100 to 1000 acres of land in as close proximity to the City as possible, divided into five-acre lots or thereabouts, on which to settle the people as peasant proprietors.

The com- mittee will be appointed in the course of the next few da; A vote of thanks to ulae commander brought- the meeting to a close. ST Er Asks Pastoral Ald. Commander Booth-Tucker made an ad- dress to the Presbyterian Ministerial Union Monday on the Salvation Army and 5 its work. The ministers of other evangeli- cal denominations had been invited to-be present and most of the members of the Baptist, Methodist, Congregational and Chtrmnn ministerial societies were pres- ent. Sympathy with the army work was what the commander had come to ask and he touched mainly on what the army bas achieved and hopes to achieve among the natives of India and among the masses who dwell in the slums of Chris- tian cities. Members of the army had been severely criticized by missionaries in India for living like the natives, but the commander deciared that by doing so the natives could best be reached. “With the natives the question of Chris- tianity is largely a question ot bread and butter or of curry and rice. Three-fourths of the inhabitants of the villages never saw sach a thing as money; they are given a share of the crops. The moment a man steps across theline of heathen- dom his food supply is cut off by the Hin- doos. I am certain India cannot be really Christianized till the missionaries face this question.” The commander said that General Booth’s desire was to obtain a large tract of land from the Government for Chris- tisnized natives. He earnestly commend- ed the scheme to the various mission boards, declaring that the Government l6oked favorably upon the plan. In regard to the social plan Commander Booth-Tucker declared that to take the surpius population from the cities to the land would open up a great vista of pros- vperity for California. ‘‘Another point of view,” he said, ‘s that of safety. If our bretlifen here had to face some of our people in the slums their dangerous char- ucter would impress itself upen them.’” A detailed accountof tae army system was given, the commander answering ob- jections which might be made g the strict rystem of discipiine. He concluded by commending the work to the sympatay of Christian churcher, A numbsr of pastors asked questions relative to the statement that tae Salva- vation Army gives converts to the churches. Some of the questioners seemed to regard the army as an active rival to the churches, but Commander Booth- Tucker declared that the Salvation Army gives more members to the churches in the way of converts then it takes from churches in the way of army workers. JULIN SHYS T Champion B.b Did Not Punch an Englishman in the Stomach. Fitz Will Join the Thespians, and a May Is Now Being Writ- ten for Him. Rotert Fifzsimmons, who now signs himeelf the ‘“‘retired middle and heavy weight champion pugilist of the world,” left this Uity yesterday for Sacramento for the purpore of giving an exhibition in the capital city last evening. He will re- turn to-day, it is thought, and his man- ager, Julian, is now arranging a tour for him through the country. Julian, the manager and director-gen- eral for the champion, Was not in a pleas- ant mood last evening, and when asked questions regarding the future move- ments of Fitzsimmons he replied in an evasive way. In fact he would notsay anything because he did not apparently know anything. ‘When asked about that litsle disturb- ance which was reported to have taken place Sunday morning in the griliroom of the Baldwin Hotel between Fitzsimmons and an Englishman who had taken Cor- bett’s part, the “‘only’’ Julian replied that the report as published in the evening papers was without any foundation of fact. Julian said he had not spoken to Cor- bett nor his manager Brady since his ar- rival in this City and that so far as he was concerued he had no business to transact with either man. “What in the name of all that is good,” said Julian, ‘does Corbett want wits me now. 1 nave been trying for the past six years to get Corbett and Fitzsimmons to. gether, and the now ex-champion, as I understand, is looking for a return match. Everybody knows that Corbett refused to meet Feter Jackson a second time and here he is now, aiter getting a good lick- ing, expecting an immediate return con- test with the champion of the worla. he will bave ta wait until v, and that will be many years, a simmons has an- nounced his retirement fram the ring, having won all the honors and emolu- ments that are attached to a champion- ship contest.

Julian said Fitzsimmons will tour through the country, and that a play is now being written for him, but the title will not be made known until after it is copyrighted. Fitzsimmons has been ordered to appear in the Justice Court to-day at 1 o’clock to answer to an order of examination taken out by J. J. Rauer. The clairn on which the order is based is that of Jimmy Carroll, the light: who sued Fitzsimmons for service got a judgment for §967 and costs. ‘When Fitzsimmons was here oefore, at the time of the Sharkey fight, an attempt was made to collect the money, but he was not so opulent at that time as at tne pres- ent, and the attempt failed. —_——— FITZSIMMONS® CASH.

MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF FEELING OUT OF SORTS IN VARIOUS ways and yet are not able to tell what causes it. to take a course of medical treatment, but know that something is wrong. They do not feel bad enough Of course something needs attention, for no one feels bad without a cause, and here is where Dr. Sanden proves his great value. He has the faculty of telling his patients what the trouble is, and the honesty to advise them for their benefit. Often it is only a little nerve trouble which can be cured in a few weeks with Dr. San- den’s famous Electric Belt, or it may be the foreboding of serious complications which require hasty action. In either case Dr. Sanden will frankly guide his patient to renewed health. He has had thirty y:ars” experience in medical prac- tice and knows disease in all its forms. He charges nothing for examination and advice personally, or by mail, and if he says the Dr. Sanden Electric Belt will cure you he will give the patient the benefit, free of charge, of his personal attention until the cure is completed. This is the great advantage gained in using Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt—you use it under a physician’s direction. electricity. It is unsafe to use electricity any other way.
