THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SU AY, MARCH 28, 1897 T KERRIGAN N Secession From the League‘ of American Wheel- ! men Begins. | 1 STRONG REASONS GIVEN| FOR ,WITHDRAWAL. The California Division Now | Without an Executive Head. A NEW AND POWERFUL BODY TO BE FORMED. | Associated Cycling Clubs to Be the} Basis of the Organization in This State. Chief Consnl Frank H. Kerrigan of North California Division League of American Wheetmen has tendered his | resignation as an official of the great cycling organization, thus firing the fir: guD in the secession movement that wi eventually involve all of the league mem- bers in the division mentioned. i The trouble is of long standing, but| first came to & head when Mr. Kerrigan went East as the dslegate of the North | Californiu Division of the annual meeting | of the leagne. The California representa tives fought vigorously the proposition to | refuse sanction for Sunday racing and an- nounced that, the majority of league members in this State would withdraw if they could not race as they desired. They | were laughed at and the Sunday racing | voted down. | On Judge Kerrigan's return to this City | meetings were held and a majority of the large clubs piedged themselvesto with- draw when ihe membership of their mem- bers expired. It was then decided to | form a new organization on this coast with the California_Associated Cycling Ciubs as a hasis, ana ignore the league en- tirely if it did not see_fit to recognize the California wheeling interest in its new | form. | With this end in view aresolution was | adopted at & meeting of the board of governors_of the California Associated Cycling Clubs, held on the 19th inst., authorizing changes in the constitution of the body that wou'd make it in all intents | and purposes the successor of the league. Chief Conaul Kerrigan’s resignation was eent to Stanley G. Scovern, the secreta treasurer of North California Division, last evening, and reads as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 1897. Stanley G. Scovern, Sceretary-Treasurer of the N. Cal. Div., League of American Wheelmen— | DEAR Ste: 1 herevy tender my resignation as chiet consul of the North Cailforma Division of the League of American Wheelmen. In explanation of my action in this behalf 1 believe it fizting that I should outline the reasons which have brought me to the con clusion that this is the only course I can con- sistently take. As the hend of & cycling orgenization in this State taking money from its members in the form of aunual dues, it seems 1o me that [ should be in & position to say <0 each contrib- uting member: “Our organization is doing | the best work possibie for you and for eycling interests in this State, and is_expending the | money you furnish it o your greatest advan- tege.” If I resch the conclusion that I am not in & position to say this, if I come to b lieve that with the same annual dues, wit the same expenditure of money, a cycling or- | model our own Federal co: | to control every detail of the destiny of e | stand, ana this, 100, & | the a | of the league is couid not long | pastime. ing a false position in remaining chief consul of the North California Division. And I have reached that conclusion, not hastily, but sfter a careful consideration of the conditions that surround us here in Cali- i sonal comparison with those tates. The North California division now numbers some 1600 members. It ali these should re- new their membership for the coming year they wouid pay into the League of American Wheelmen the sum ot $1600. Of this sum $1040 would be sent to the Eestern officent the league for its support and $560 retained for the support of cycling interests ir Cali- | fornia. We sent East last year from February 1, 1896, to January 31, 1897, of money reccived irom members $1069 23, and for money re- ceived for sunciions for race meets over the sum of §300 net. 1n_return for this money what do we get? The League Bulletin 1s really the only prac- tical and tangible result, which o the Nationa body is & mere nominal expense. Of course, there is the general work of the league for the improvement of roads and highways, but the effects of that branch of its work dou’t begin toresch 10 this western porder, and we have not felt them. Work in those lines must be done_locaily, with our own iegislatures, our own Board of Supervisors, and by and ihrough our own efforts. That has been the ever has been done has been nccomplizhed in the past and I see no reson 10 expect more cf ficient aid from the National body in the fu- | ture. California isa State far removed from the center of government of the league. The cou- Qitions here are vastly different from those | that exist in the New England States. And yet, trom our very remoteness, it nas proved Impossible to bring the governing body of the to an undersiauding of these differ- | Tne wihole trouble with the National organi- zation may be summed up broadly in the words, “It has onigrown itselL” Iis existing constitution was not patterned on lines fitted for the organic law of an associntion of State divisions us numerous, as widely separated, as diverse in_nceds, habits, temperament and characteristics 8s it now contaius. 1f we are_ever to have a lasting and success- ful National organization it must take for its stitution—that is lay down the broad principles of the objects of the body and the few general characteristic: needed to give uniformity to the organizatiou; but leave to the various State divisious the right (o legislate pon matters of local or tem- porary import, upon matters dependent on local conditions and environment. This is not the spirit of the constitution of our National organization. It isnot the spirit of the majority Of the members who compose its governiug body. Tne desize seems to be State division; to legislate for localities and people they heve never scen, and do not under- u agaiust the expr wish of the aivisions they are seeking to con- trol. On the floor of the National Assembly and through the press of the United Statesa de- | monsiration has been lately made to the Na- tional Assembly of the needs of the Western and Southern divisions in the matter of ex- tension of racing privileges. Because a_me- jority of delegates, coming from the N landStates, felt that their localities wauld not be | benefited by such an lege, whien proposed privil have exercised, the measure was voted down and the Southern and Western divisions were Genied the privilege of local legislation on a subject, trom its very nature, local. I mention this instance merely as an exam- ple o1 the narrow policy that concentrates the legislative power in the National body in sach a way as to impede the progress and retard elopment of those State divisions where progress and advance is most possible. 1 need not mention here tnat I have always been in tne past an_earnesi advocate of the league and its work (though with the feeling vs that greater returns comd be afforded this was for the reason that I felt the ity, i1 eyeling was to live, of some power strong enough 1o control the Tacing side of the sport. For a time the league scemed capabie of doing this—seemed to be doing it— despite the fact that ihe control of racing was not originally contemplated in the scheme of its organization. Bui at the recent meeting at Albany it becime unmistakably apparent that a body composed as_the governing board continue to give proper attention to this branch of the The apaihy, the entirs lack of ap- preciation of the importarce of racing to the general prosperity of Lhe league, was painfully in evidence. Even the very head of the league, Isaac C. Potter, a year g0 took an open stand in oppo- sition 'to racing, and, slthough he receded somewhat s & matier of political policy from that position during his candidacy for presi- dent this year, still it will be noted that every emendment 10 the constitution proposed with the idea of broadening and exiending racing privileges was defeaied by the following of ilie present administration. To any wheelman of Calilornia this will indicate suficiently an important reason for the bringing into exist- ence of another organizatio But this is not all. Upon the head of the National organization depends its successiul conduct as & Nationul body. 1f the president of the league is & man who is tricky, who has attained his position on broken piedges, by deceit and misrepresentation, 1 cannot bring mvself (o, feel that he wil manage ieagus xtension of racing privi- they need never and I wiil not serve in any capacity under the leadership 0f such & man. That Mr. Potter is such a man [ have abso- lute proof His treschery to California on ganization can be formed in this State that wi and can do more good for cycling and for the State, then I consider that I should be occup: | | I the floor of the National assembly, his Juaas- kiss to President E:liott prior (o the election, the disreputsble Massachusetts trade, whici way what- | al at was proposed | affairs for the best interests of the wheelmen | resulted in the refusal of Gideon to again ac- cept the chairmanship of the racing board, are familiar instances of treachery to_the wheelmen of America indulged {n by the New York delegation from Potter up. Tt has seemed plain to me, thecefore, that the league division here has reached the limit of its usefulness. It only remains 1o be shown that a cyeling anization can be formed in California that could do more for the wheel- men of the State than is done by the league. 1 believe that it is perfectly feasibie for the California Associated Cyecling Clubs 10 80 ex- tend its scope as to_assume: all tne functions of the Northern California division. The As- soclated Clubs have met with unitorm sucCess in everything they have undertaken. They have established amicable relations between the severs! clubs of the State, and to-duy con- siitute the suthorized body for the expression of the opinion of the organized wheelmen upon any subject. They have taken road- ing into their charge, and have done for that branch of cycling ail that the league has done for racing on the track. What, then. is to prevent the California As- sociated Cycling Ciubs from absorbing and taking advantage of tbe energy that in the past has made this division of the league what itis? . Potentialiy, California is one of tne greatest cycling States of the Union. . In no city of the greater energy in ail branches of wheeiing | work than right here in Caifornia, 'And it is to say that in no Stat: is tho Dumber of riders grenter in proporiion 1o the popula- tion. Our road-racing events are unexcelled. | We have established more records on the track dnring the past two seasons than any other State. The goodfellowship and fraternal jeeling that exists among wheclmen here has been the frequent subject of comment from visitors from without™ our borders. During | the past year we have iitiated aud encour- | azed an agitation tor the improvement of highways that calmipated in the passage by the present Legislature of a bill appropriating mors than $600,000 1or the purpose. We have secured the passage of the bicycle baggage bill. Surely it 1s beyond question that we bave in this State material ior the formation of a local organization that can do more for Californin than is possibie tor any hampered branch of s National body. 1 am aware that with some of the members of the California Associated Cycling Clubs it might be a matter of hesitaney to engraitupon that body the numerous functions now per- formed by the Lesgue Division. But in this connection it must be borne in mind that no radical changes in its organic law wouid be necessitated, and to its present corps of effi- cient worke?s could be added those who have heretofore devoted thumselves to the advance- ment of the league. To establish & system of hotels ana local consuls, to afford legal protection to its mem- bers, o facilitate touring, 1o I urnish informa- tion concerning roads and stopping places, to continue the agitation for the betterment of highways, to secure needed legisiation from our Legislutures and Boards of Supervisors— this 1s the work before us. All this has been done by the League Division. But, let me ask | you, has 1t not beeu done by the efforts of the | Wneelmen of our State? What aid has been afforded by the Nutional organization? In- Qdeed, the matter seems simpie, the course is piattl. 1t has become the duty of the Califor- nia Associated Cycling Clubs to step into the breaca and save cycling tor us here. 1 bave gone thus fully into my reasons for thi siguation that there may be no misun- derstanding as to what has fuduced it. Tam well aware of the tenaency on the part of peo- | ple to ascribe an sction of tuis kind 10 per- sonal pique or disappointment. But I believe a readiug of this letter will convince any one that no such element has entered into the present result. 1 have but to recall the man- ner in which we humiliated not ourseives, but the wheelmen ot California before those who | had succeeded by the means iudicated in_get- | ting into coutrol when we went to New York after the National Assembly had adjourned and strove in every way 1o effect some com- promise with Potter, and were even denied u | hearing. | T cannot close this communication without | taking oceasion to thank Frank W. Fuller for his abie and energetic National Assembly. Mr. Fuller lcft his busi- | ness ut New York, went to Albany and re- mained there throughout the session, all at his own expense, and did splenaid work for us. He gertainly deserves the gratitude of every California wheelman. T also wish to thank the members of our local board of officers, and of the committees, both of the present year and the past, 1ot the earnest work they have done and the results hope that they wiil deyole to the organization which will take the place ot the league division here the same energy and enthusi. asm. Yours very respectfully, FRANK H. KERRIGAN. Vice-Consul Henry H. Wynne will take Judge Kerrigan’s place as consul as long as tpe division exists, which is not ex- pected to be a great while, inasmuch asa majority of the members will withdraw when the time expires. It is expected that not more than 500 out of the 1600 members now in the divis- ion will remnin at the end of nineiy days. Others will withdraw as their member- | sbips run out, ana within six months there will not be enough members left to | support the division. A meeting of the board of governors of | the Californian Associated Cycling Clubs is to be held at the Bay City Wheelmen's | headquarters on April 3, and at this gath- pected to do so much | eveting interests, will be launched.

It Refused to Recognize the New San Francisco Kennel Club. Allegations of Underhandcd Msthods to G> B:fore the N .tional Body. Strife is rampant in dogdom. The blue-blood canines themselves are not snarling nor growling, but it happens to be their masters who have clinched and who are cudgeling each other unmerci- { fully. | This war has been smoldering for some timo past, but it did not reach the crisis until yesterday, when a telezram was re- | ceived from Secretary A. P. Vredenburgh of the American Kennel Club announcing that the St. Bernard Club of this City had been formally suspended from afitiation with the National body, and ha also been disqualified for an indefinite period from participating in any bench shows given under the sanction of the American Ken- nei Club. This was a stunner for the St. Bernard uvreeders, but not altogsther unexpected, for to this particular dog story there hangs a tale, It dates back several months, to a time when the old Pacific Kennel Ciub of this City—the only one then existing here— decided, after having passed through a veritable maeistrom of trouble and tribu- lation, to go out of existence. Ithad given many successful bench shows, and financially was standing on both feet, but the fact that dog shows are like baby snows, inasmuch as only the blue-ribbon winners will admit that the judges are wise and the ciub honest, left many epe- mies in the organization’s wake, and the members finally vetermined to disband in diszust. They were loyal to the dog, how- ever, and rather than sece 1897 pass over without a bench show maue a proposition to the Olympic Gun Club. This was to the effect that the latier undertake togive this year’s exhibition. Snouid the Olympics assent the Pacifics would agree to turr: over all of their costly paraphernalia to their successor, lend every ssistance within their power and in ad- dition surrender the residue in their treas- ury—amounting to something over $300. The Olympic men thought the. matter over carefully and finally concluded that they could see their way clear, with all of the promised assistanceand the encourag- ment accorded them, to undertake the task, and so informed the retiring Pacifics. There were certain formalities that had to be observed before the gun men could launch forth into tie dog show business, the most important of these being the re quirement that the organization should join the American Kennel Club and se- cure its sanction for this year's show. ‘The way: seemed open for this, and to help matters along the Pacific Club for- warded an open-hearted indorsement of the pru&;ct and of the Qiympic Gun Club to New Yorks Then a snag was encountered. It appears that there is Lere whst is known as the Pacific Advisory Board of the American Kennel Club, and it also happens that this board is made up principally of the same men who, the Pa- afic members claim, nagged them into abolishing their club and getiing out of dogdom. However this may be, the aa- visory board, heuded by H. 1. Payne, Dr. | d’Evelyn and others, took it upon itself to pass resolutions condemning the Olympic Gun Club’s ambition, proclaiming that the latter organization was here looked upon ‘‘with distrust and disrepute,’”’ and declaring that it should not be permiited to engage in a bonch show. Here are the resolutions complete : WHEREAS, The death of the Pacific Kennel Club opens the door 10r tae organization of & s dog show association, composed of & Detter element than has heretofore beeu con- | nected with_the management of kennel exhi- bitions in San Francisco; and whereus, the Olymp.c Gun Club, an organization to which disrepute and distrust; and whereas, should the saia Olympic Gun Club become a member of the American Kennel Club its dog shows | would be under the controlof the same men whose efforts have not been employed 10 bet- ter ‘he welfare of kennel matters—in fact, be- ing detrimental instead of beneficial—there- fore be it Resolved, That in the opiniou of this board it would be a stroke of bad policy on the part of the American Kennel Club to grant a f chise (o the said Olympic Gun Club, orto any other organization whose v.ry object and pur- poses would necessitate the muking of dog | shows a secondary and minor ferture. Resolved, That the American Kennel Club be 1 and it _is hereby requested by the Pacific Ad- visory Board—iu the fulfillment of what it deems to be its duty—to refuse admission to the Olympic Gun Club, in order that a kennel club pure and simple niay be organized and ad- mitted to membership, and the holding of annual dog shows placed in the hands of an organization whose best efforts will be exerted in the advancement of the kenuel interests of San Francisco and the whole coast. Resolved, That the secretary of this board be instructed to forward at once a copy of these resolutions to the American Kennel Ciub. Attest: H. T. PAYNE, Secrotary Pacific Advisory Hoard. These resolutions were atonce forwarded to the American Kenuel Club, and only through that medinm became public. The Olympic Gun Club, which, as is known by ad sporting mien here, is conposed of some of 8an Francisco's most representative aund respected men, emanating from the most dignified professions and callings, grew highly incensed when the wording of the resolutions reached it, and demanded a hearing and a vindication at the hands of the National 'body. This, the members say, was denied them, and they accuse Secretary Vredenburgh of being 1n collu- sion with Payne and ’Evelyn and of con- niving to heap this alleged injustice upon them. Following upon the heels of the appear- ance of the resolutions at the Nutional headquartrs in New York came the for- mation here of the San Francisco Kennel Club, and the Olympic men say its com- position was that of the antagonistic ad- visory board, and of the men who had worried the Pacific Glub out of existence. To make a long story short, the new or- g.n::-unon'; claims were presented to the ational body by Secretary Vredenburgh in such a manner that it was granted a petition for a bench show, whereas the Qiympic Gun Club was not only ignored, but in addition denied membership. And this, as might be expected, had anything but the effect of assuaging the feelings of the indignant Olympics and ex-Pacifics. The 8t. Bernara Club, which is and al- ways has been one of the most important and most desired exhibitors at the local bench skows, was one of the first to take umbrs at tie alleged underhanded metiods by which the Oiympics suffered indignity and by which the San Fran- cixco club came into existence, anu it promptly announced that its members would not exhibit a dog at the coming sanctioned show. Realizing that this ac- tion would serfonsly handicap the pro- jected exhibition the Advisory Board-San rancisco Club combination set about to coerce the St. Bernards into going into the show, the first step being to mnotify them that their suspension would be recommended unless they acquiesced. But the St. Bernards were stubborn and de- clared they would not exhibit, suspension or no suspension. The advisory board’s recommendation then journeyed to New York, and yester- day’s dispateh from Vredenburgh is the sequel. This means that the St. Bernard Club cannot appear now at any bench show which receives its sanction from the American Kennel Club—in other words, that it is an ontlaw. The war is going to be a merry one. The St. Bernards, the Olympics and the ex- Pacitics intend to carry 1t right into the camp of the National body and_ declare that before they are through they will show up in an unenviable lirht Vreden- burgh, Payne, d’Evelyn and numerous others. GROEZINGER BACKS DOWN. Consents to the Entry of Judgment in Favor of C. Wesley Keed. Justice of the Peace Groezinger has filed a stipulation in Judge Seawell’s court, in which he argues that judgment may be entered as prayed for by Autorney C. Wesley Reed in Lis pstition for a review. The litigation out of which this compli- cation arose had attracted considerable public attention. J. 8. Reid, by nis attorney C. Wesley Reed, sued Pauline Selig for the recovery of some furniture which she had obtained on a lease for $143, and, according to Mr. Reed’s statement, judgment was given for the full amount. Subsequently it developed that Bier & Regensburger hud lent money to Mrs. delig on the furniture, and when Mr. Reed looked up the record he alleges that the figures had been changed from §143 to §22. Mr. Reed alleged that this c unge was made in the interest of Bier & Regens- barger. He made the following state- ment in bis affidavit: Affiant further states that 1t is currently said by those mmiliar with the practices of the Justices’ Court that the said G. C. Groezinger is under heavy obligeiious to the suid Bier & Regensburger 1n a political way; that the said Bier & Regensburger have many cases to (ry in said court, and that in every way possible the said Groezinger aids them in their litign- tion; that affiant charges the said Groezinger with changing the said docket in order to favor tne said irieuds, Bier & Regensburger; that the said Groezinger has made many contradic- tory statements siuce muking toe said change. Justice Groezinger offered an explana- tion by saying that Mr. Reed had deceived him when he presenied the decree for sizning. To this Mr. Keed replied by showing that the figures had been written by Justice Groezinger and that he had made several interlineations. While the case was pending in Judge Seawell’s court the matter was taken up for consideration by the Grand Jury. It is thought that Justice Groezinger’s action will put a stop to further proceedings, as Mr. Reed will obtain judgment for the full amount demanded and Justice Groe- zinger will pay costs of court. CHANGES Mfiunc&. Policeman Shadrach Campbell Promoted to Be Ser- geant, Eight New Patroimen Sworn In by Chief Crow.ey and the New Station Occupred. Policeman Shadrach Campbell has been promoted to be Sergeant, and has been as- signed for duty in the Mission district. The promotion wasa genuine surprise to Campbell, who is one of the most popu- lar and efficient men in the department. When the men assembled at the Central station Friday evening Captain Wiitman asked Campbell to step forward. He read an order from the Chief promoting Camp- bell to be sergeant, and warmly congratu- lated bim, telling him that the promotion was earned solely from merit, and that nothing had given him greater pleasure during the fifteen years he had been con- nected with the department. After the Captain had finished there was a burst of applause from the men, which continued for a minu te or two, and Campbell was so taken aback by his un- expected good fortune:that for the first time in his life his tongue failed bim and he could not utter a word. The new sergesnt joined the department on January 10, 1887, and since then has done splendid service, making many im- ortant arrests. He was often detailed or detective duty, his coolness, good Judgment, shrewdness and bravery always making him invaluable for such work. Several vacancies have occurred in the department recently from various causes, and yesterday Chief Crowley swore in eight new men, as follows: Henry C. Jones, native of California, clerk, 26 years of age; Robert I. Grabam, California, car- penter, 27; Cornelius Cregan, Ireland, railroad mun, 30; assigned to_Captal Wittman’s division. Charles Peterson, California, boaiman, 29; William J. Smith, Massachusetts, plumber, 32; John J. Till- man, California, special officer, 28; as- signed to Captain Spillane’s division. Michael J.
