14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1897. LAND HO! FOR LABOR Booth-Tucker's Plan for Helping the Poor in Cities. VEGETABLES TO GROW ON VACANT LOTS. Hemiculture as a Substitute for the Degraded Chain- gang. LABORERS WILL BE TAUGHT AGRICULTURE. Rousing Salvation Army Mo2eting in Metropolitan Tempie for the Benefit of the Poor. Commander Booth-Tucker spoke to a CALL Teporter with great enthusiasm yes- terday on h.s project to put the unem- ployed at remunerative labor. Hisscheme, he said, was for the permanent relief of the poor rather than for cases of tempc- rary emergency. At the same time, when emergency arises the Sal- vation Army has all the machinery for bandling it on a large scale. The com- mander added: “In New York City we fed and sheltered 3000 people every night for a fortnight cduring the cold and bitter weather. In the city of Detroit alone we distributed clothing and groceries costing $200.000 in three months. The citizens co-operated splendidly with us there. “Under the present condition of thines the honest man is turned into a rogue and the hard- working man is made lazy. When = man says, ‘I cannot earn my own liviug,’ then society has a right to say, ‘You shall get your living,” and drive him out upon a piece ot land. Our remedy is briefly to form city colonies as a tempo- rary expedient to enable us to sort out the worthy and willing, and, having done that, we turn our eyes to the land and endeavor to guide immigration from the 1 have coined a word w hich seems to fit the case. It is ‘homi- cuiture'—the cultivation of men. I propose to effect this object in three or four weys. First, by arranging s course of lectures to City workingmen and the masses who attend our meetings, delivered | the most attractive manner possible, with stereopticon views and music. We propose to give away plants and roots for the people to zrow iin pots on their win- dow-sills, with the intention of implant- 1g in the minds of ihe people a knowl- edge of the uses of land and a love of nature, together with a practical knowl- edge of aericulture. “In connection with that work we will get ‘the owners of vacant lots in and around the City who are hoiding their lands for speculative purposes to lend us for the use of workingmen in not so much those who are out of work sltogether, but we take them be- fore they get absolutely out of work, We catch him before he is Teduced to his last cent, when he is earning buc a bare living and whan atany moment he is liable_to be turned out of his employment. We let him and his wife raise vegetables on this land, not for the purpose of selling but of eating them. “This will be of great educational ad- vantage to them. Thbey aud their chil- dren get to know and to like the laud. You say to them after they have reached that point: ‘There is a five-acre lot twenty or thirty miles outside the City and by paying out of your earnings a Gollar a week you can become the owner of it. The land is fenced, the plants are in, a cow and some chickens ara there all ready for you and you can walk rightin. You don’t need to give up your job in the City, but send your wife and children there and pay us $La we “T want it to be a business proposition, not a charitable one, but something which will return a reasonable percentage of in- terest. It will be necessary to establish a fund of $20,000 or $25,000, for with a small amonnt you can accomplish a great deal. We will bond s tract of land and bay it as we are able to develop it. It must be good soil which will yield a re- turn for the work put into it. Bad land is dear even if it cosis nothing. “Let some of the business gentlemen of this City risk something for once for the love of God 10 help their fellow man, ana if they desire they can have the manage- mentof it, They will beina position to get 5 or 6 per cent interest. “In addition to_that [ want to_utilize the existing ranches by telling the pro- prietors that we will help them to find men from the cities who are suitable to work on their places—not the riff-raff, but men in whom you can place reliance. In addition to their wages they should be ven a little bit of laud and if possible board and lodging. They should say tothe men, ‘Come with your wives and children and settle here,” and allow cach man dur- ing good behavior the use of three or| five acres where he can grow what he likes. That will prove a stepping-stone out of the mitery of thestreets.” Commander Booth Tucker called on Mayor Phelan vesterday by appointment and explained to the City’s chief execu- tive the plan of the system he hopes to in- augurate. The Mayor was deeply inter- ested in the matter and asked many ques- tions, showing that he is thoroughly up- to-date on the business outlook of such a provosition. He promised Booth Tucker all the as- sistance possible in carrying out the plan. The Mayor is also much interested in the Pingree plan for aiding the unem- vloyed, which is named after Governor Pingree of Michi-an, who originated it and demonstrated its fess bility at Detroit, Mich. In the Eastern city 421 acres were tilled by several hundrea unem- ployed or persons who were only partially employed,and the result was that out of an outlay of $2400 for seed and other matters that had to be paid for there was a net profit of $28,505during 1896. The crop was in the main potatoes. Such a scheme for helping the unem- vloyed and utilizing idle city and private Jand may be tried when the boulevard is finished. Mayor Phelan thinks that the proposed driveway should be disposed of first. e ATMETROPOLITAN TEMPLE. The Army Indorses Booth-Tucker’s Plan to Colonlize. The Salvation Army mass-meeting at Metropolitan Temple held in honor of Booth-Tucker and his proposition for peo- pling the vacant lands near the City with the surplus population was largely attended, and the audience indorsed both the commander and the proposition. There wasa good deal of Salvation Army enthusiasm in the beginning, led by Lieu- tenant Keppel before he introduced the chairman of the evening, William M, city 1o the connt | Is it useful? | These are qui o " 1139 Market Stree PACIFIC, EF DJVISION MBSO = San Srancisco: e e 189 The Salvation Army Plan to “Employ the Unemployed” as Explained by the Commander-in-Chief. Bunker. Mr. Bunker on assuming the| chairmansbip spoke in part as follows: | Fellow-citizens and friends, we are here to | help the homeless and 1ift the hopelesstoa | higher plane. We are not here from a mere sense of duty. We are here because we wanied | 1o o here.” And glad we are ihat we are | ere. | Hard times have besieged the peopie, press- | ing poverty has pressed harder than ever and | sickness and snffering have been felt on every | hand; but now, thank God, the siege is raised, | andin the distance we seem 1o heer that famous cry, “Dinna ye hear theslogan? The Campbells are coming!” The Salvation Army is 10 the fore and all s well We know tuatin these times happiness is | not the proper thing, that it is bad form, out of date and plebei-n. but as it suits us 0 be happy and try to mal happy, we will Tejoice and be exceeding glad. Who ‘nas bet- ter cause for general rejoicing? Are we not | fathering a glorious movement—a movement for permanent prosperity? Mark the distine- | tion—permanent prosperity! Any movement, public or private, that simply alleviates the | suffering of the poor is & makeshift, an emer- gency mecessity, one of a dozen social ills the couditious force upon us. In planniug homes for the homeless, or, rather, in so planning that the homeless mey get homes for themselves, the army is true to its prineiples and fighting for the right. It resis its cause_on the crucial test of utility. | Does it meet material needs ns it asks ahd answers. | Satisfied that it is right, that it has a blessing for mankind, it dashes at the problem of pov- erty with the living force of truth. Booth-Tucker was then introduced and was received with a “volley.” He said: “We_came here as practical sociologists; we deal with the problem of the homeless in a fashion that is likely 10 bring relief most speedily. We believe it is the business of the Lord’s and the busi- ness of the Salvation Army to look aiter the homeless. We regret that we are not able to do ten thousand times more good than we are doing, but we are on the road toward doing mnre and mora. ““We are criticized from some quarters because we do not give aid for no:hing to all who apply because we have donations given to us for the purpose. I can illus- trate to you readily how impossible it would be for us todo the great work we are now doing if we did it that way. If we did not require them to help them- selves a little we could only help 200 where we now help 2)00. Besides we don’t be- lieve men with manliness in them want it that way. Since I was here I have trav- | eled over a great part of the country and | talked with prominent men everywhere, legislators, leaders, and newspapermen in all the cit “‘There are about 4.000,000 peonle in this country who are receiving aid in some fashion, or who are in need of it. We must grapple with this problem. I had hoped that here it would not present itself in such proportions as elsewhere, but I find tuat you have the same trouble as afflicts the rest of the world. If we undertake the,remedy unon specific lines, I think 1t may be met efficiently. I speak humbly, but I have the advantage of having studied tne question in the places of the older civiliza'ions, not only London, but in the great cities of the Continent, where the problem is in its most aggra- vated form. and Legislatures and writers Jook forward gloomily into the futare.” ‘I'he speaker then outlined the plan, which has been given in tne report of his meeting with the members of the Cham- ber of Commerce. Briefly, it 1s to inaugu- rate the ‘‘Pingree pian” of cultivating the | vacant Jots of the City, and then to secure a larce tract of land near the City where small houses could be built, the tract being divided into five and ten acre lots and colonized, the little farms being properly stocked and sold upon install- ments of $1 per month, with interest at 5 per cent. He held this to be a simple and ontirely feasibie plan for permanent relief of the congested population of the cities. The meeting concluded with singing and prayer. s A S RED MEN TO-NIGHT.

Lots of Fun Over the Payment of a Bet on the Farallones Yesterday. It Was a Cas2 of a Fine Hcal of Hair Versus a New Suit of the Best Underc othirg The echo of the Corbeit-Fitzsimmons fight has reached the Farallones. While separated from the Golden Gate by a stretch of thirty-two miles of sea, still the news of the doings of the gladiators was received at weekly intervals. When the last papers reached the island it looked as though Corbett was a sure winner. Nevertheless, Miss Daisy Doud, the new “schoolmarm” on the island, had no faith in the pompadour, and 5o expressed herself. The lightkeepers were firm fol- lowers of Jim, and each and all of them were williug to wager a month’s salary against Miss Daisy’s glove that the Cali- fornian would win. Miss Doud was game, however, and called at least one of the men down. Ed Cashin, tbe chief assistant keeper, was her chief tormentor, and she got “even witn him.” “You think Corbett will win,’”’ said sbe. ““Well, I'll bet you a new suit of underclothes, a new shirt and a new collar and necktie against your head of hair.” ow, Cashin’s hair is the pride of the Farallone station and he thought twice pefore he accepted the offer. After think- ing the matter over and reading the Ex- aminer's account of the condition of the men, he came to the conclusion that he could not lose, and made the bet. That bet was his undoing and now he is as “bald as a badger.” ~ When the news of Fiizsimmons’ victory reached the rocky isiand Cashin was reading “Trilby"” and dreaming about Little Bilhe and some of the other characters. He had a rude awakening : owever. Chief Keeper William Beeman, Captain “‘Gill” Brokaw of the tug Reliance and two or three others appearea on tie scene and aroused Cashin from his reverie. Miss Doud showed him'a copy of TaE | Cavy which chronicled the defeat of Cor- bett and at once demanded her ‘‘pound of flesh.” The gallant light-keeper made ail kinds of excuses and finally refused point blank to give up his abundant crop of hair. It was a case of “willy nilly” as Captain Beeman, Captalu Brokaw of the Reliance and two other of the men on the island were in attendance. Cashin wzs strapped into a chair and Captain Beeman did the barber’s work. As soon as the luxuriant growth was cutsnort Miss Doud was called for and a well-sharpened razor was handed to her. It was wonderin! the change that came over Cashin. ‘Where before he had been fighting at every clip made by the scissors, he was now as quiet as a lamb, He didn’t even wince when his scalp was lathered, and twenty minutes later when his scalp was as clean as a whi-tle he got out of the chair and said: ““You made & good job of it, Miss Doud.” He looked at himself in the glass again, and again remarked: Ves, it's & great job, but iU’s awful cold. Captain Brokaw fathers the story that Cashin has ordered a Chinese scalp-piece and pigtail, in order to make at least the appearance of a heathen during the time Lis bair is growing. Miss Daisy has won her first bet and she is satisfied. FAIR'S REAL ESTATE, Children of the Dead Millionaire Hanker for a Speedy Distribution of the Landed Property. Charles L. Fair, Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair, children of the late James G. Fair, have filed a petition n Judge Slack’s court to have all the real estate be- longing to the estate of their father dis- tributed to them forthwith. Relying on the decision heretofors ren- dered by Judge Black touching the trust ciause in the will of their father the peti- tioners allege that the reat property of the estate was not disposed of by the will, snd that as sole heirs at law they are entitied to allof said property. They say that the estate is but littie indebted, that the personal property is of creatvalue and more than sufficient to meet all demaads of creditors, and that the distribution asked for may be made without loss to the creditors of the estate. The list of property embraced in the petition comprises 127 parcels of real es- tate, including the property in this City claimed by Mrs, Netue R. Craven-Fair, the title to which is still in litigation. The signatures to the petition are Knight & Heggerty, attorneys for Charles L. Fair; Lloyd & Wood and Bishop & Wheeler for There:a A.

Mrs. Sadie Robison, a Cripple, Becomes Tired of Life. Mrs. Sadie Robison, a married woman, 33 years of age, in a fit of despondency swallowed adose of morphine in her room, 393 Sixth street, last night about 9 o’clock. She was discovered in an unconscious con- d to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Bunnell expressed the opinion that she could not recover. The woman was paralyzed on_one side and this made her despondent. She often said it would be better to be dead than live a e. Her usband is a business man in France and has been sending her regular remit- tances.

Traffic Manager Mossof the Valley road is no more allowing the rust to gather on the rails of his line than is Chief Engineer Storey permitting the grass to grow along the surveyed route of the rosd. Operating and construction departments vie with each other in energy and effectiveness, and almost daily the transportation bur dens of the people of the San Joaquin !

T.is is over the Southern Pacific line to Raymond and thence by stage into the vailey. The route of the new combination will be to Merced over the Vailey 10ad and thence to the scenic | Mecca of the Sierras by stage via Coulter- | ville. While the distance will be somewhat longer than by the old route the traveling will be more ineresting, more comforta- ble and less expensive. The stage service will be under the contral and management of E. M. Stoddard & Son, veteran stage- | line owners. The proposed stage line, | from Merced to Yosemite, is about eighty- eignt miles long, and it will enter the | valley at the lower or western end.

As soon as this is decided the slow work, such as tunneling, will be at once commenced and tie building of the extensions toward Bakersfield and toward Point Richmond will be prosecnted simultaneousiy. A serious problem is presented in the crossing of the large marshy tracts this side of Stockton, and there is -a proba- bility that the Point Richmond extension may be routea so as to strike the main line at some point south of Stockton, so as to avoid crossing these swampy tracts Three routes are now being surveyed, and if it is deeided to connect south of Stock- 1on, Modesto will in all probability be the town of junction.

The Valley road was de- barred from making a traffic airangement with the Gillis company by reason of the fact that the latter was unfavorably situ- ated in the matter of the Siockton dock, and that it did not have the necessary transportation facilitiss.
