14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUES DAY, MARCH 30, 18 WELLS STILL THE CYCLE KING He Left McFarland, Down- ing and Jones Lengths Behind Him. Stevens of Towa Tock the Three- Mile Event From a Speedy Field. A Big Crowd Attended the Opening Night of the Sccond Week of tke Cycle Tournament. The cycle races st the Mechai Pa- | vilion last night drew a large house—much larger than was expected for a Monda: night—and certainly the high qua: the sport furnished warranted the people in going. The second week of the big indoor tour- nament opened auspiciously. There were two good profes events on the card, each necessitating six preliminary heats and three semi-fi ore the starters in the final hes determined. These made seventeen actual races, be- sides the usual record trials, comprisinga | long and interesting programme. ! The best race of the evening, ana judsed by many to be the best yet seen at the tournament, was the final of the mile open, which was won by Wells, with lots | of space separating him from McFarland, Downing and Jones. 1t was a very popu- | lar victory | Ten men qualified in the five prelim- inary heats of the mile open, professional. They were McFarland, Dow, ‘Bob” Terrill, Downing, Wells, Suliivan, Jones, Morris, | Stevens and Davis. They were required to ride in three | semi-finals, winners and fastest second to | qualify for the final. The field was tnen reduced to Mckarland, Weils and Jones, who won their heats, and Downing, who was second in the fastes: heat, 2:17. In the third_semi-final Jones was lead- ing, Stevens, Sulliv ing. This was the order the last turn. Stevens rear wheel and_fell pletely over him also went Davis rounded the wreck and second. Fortunately neither Sullivan was more than scratche The line-up at the tape for the final was McFarlana. Jones, Weils una Downing. Tt was paced by Morris on a single. Jones was first to catch him, but Downing rode around bim and dropped back, and the order was Downing, Jones, McFarland, Wells. McFarland started his usual early sorint, but the others would not be left behind, and there then ensued one of the vrettiest finishes of the tournament. Welis, from last position, forged ahead{by a magnificent sprint, and once 1n the lead the race was his, as he gained at | every stride, finishing fullv ten lengths avead of McFarland, who ran second, a length in front of Downing. The time | was 2:11. Wells received a splendia re- ception as he dismounted. “The three-mile race was a beautiful con- test. After four preliminary heats had been run, to cut down field, the starters i the hinal were Ste of iowa, McFarland and Downing of San Jose, and | *King" Eaton of Chicago. Morris was put in 10 pace, and Downing was the first to catch on behind i Stevens w. Eaton third, McFar- 1and fourth. riand rode up alone- side Stevens, and the latter allowed him | to drop into second vlace. Sullivan took tne pace on the second | mile, and the order behind him remained | unchanged, the men evidently preferring | to save themselves for the final sprint rather than fight for positions. When the bell lap came Eaton had at- tained the lead, but Stevens went by him ou the outside and held first place (o the | finish, Eaton a close second.

Kenna of the Bay City Wheeim gave a pretty exhibition in a mile record trisl, paced by the Griffiths-Daviason and Hall'’Kraft tandem teams. The former team carried him the last half and ran away from him on the last lap, but he still made it in 1:59 1-5, a world’s record. Had he been able to hold the tandem all the way this time would probably have been cut three seconds lower. C. M. Smith and W. S. Bacon of the Olympic Cyclers rode a_balf-mile exnibi- tion on a tandem, the time being :59 1-5 seconds—above the record.

Stevens has the reputation of being the quickest starter on the track. When there is s tandem to be caught he always gets there first.

CHINESE DEPORTATIONS. The Kirst Case of u Series Was Begun Yosterday. The case of Leung Ab Fang, one of the Chinese girls up for deportation, was partly heard by Commissioner Heacock yesterday, but Attorney Dibble had the case postponed until to-day. 4 A Chinese inspector_ani two Chinese women identified the girl as one who came from South America, though she cluimea she was born in San Francisco. WORKING PINGREE'S PLAN A Tract of Land in the City Has Been Secured as a Starter. There ths Unemployed May Be Taught Pract.cally How to Farm. Major Winchell, chief of the social de- partment of the Salvation Army, is rap- idly perfecting his plans for carrying out the colonization scheme of the Salvation Army. Mrs. D. M. Morey has offered him a small tract of land at Colma, on the line of the San Mateo electric line, which, 1f he finds upon examination that it serves the purpose, he will turn into an agricultural school, so to speak “To get men down upon the land, with instructions to dig their sustenance out of the earth, is good in theory, but in prac- tice it is expecting a good deal'of them if | they have never tried their hand at it be- fore,” said Major Winchell yesterda: “Pingree’s plan contemplated a little in- struction in the art of iilling the soil, and that is what we opose to do. I think we will have no difficlty in getting land, both in and out of the City, and on most favorable terms. “This at Colma 1s_easily accessible by electric car from the City.

We will have :0 sell it at a reduced price, perhaps, in order to purchase edibles.” e S IMPORTANT TAX SUIT. Another Big Claim Filed by a Banking Institution Against the City and County. An action at law t'as ‘been commenced by the San Francisco Savings Union against the City and County of San Fran- cisco for the collection of $31,37578, al- leged to be due for taxes paid under pro- test. The claim of the plaintiff is based cn the alleged error of Assessor Siebe in de- manding the payment of taxes on per- sonal property said to be outside the State of California on the day the assessment was levied. The bank’s officers set up that itis not material. so far as the A.- sessor is concerned, where the property is owned; that he has no authority to assess it unless it is in his district on the first Monday in March. Assessor Siebe held a contrary opinion and levied the assessment in accordance with his information touching the owner- ship of the personai property. He believed that under the law the money ougnt to be taxed here because it is actually owned here, though actually outside the State on the first Monday in March. In order to avoid the penalty for delin- quency ihe officers of the bank paid the taxes under protestand brought suit for recovery as allowed by law. A dozen suits of this character are now pending against the City and County of San Francisco, involving more than half & million dollars, and the 1mportance of the litigation bas led City Counselor Creswell to devote great cars to the work of preparing for the trial of the questions involved. The matter has not yet been adjudicated in this City, but some of the cases will be heard soon. In view of the wreat interests at stake, the Supreme Court wiil, of course, be called upon to finally settle the dispute. If the City should fail in the litigation it would be a serions loss to the public revenues, and uitimately would have the effect of greatly increasing the rate of the tax levy. LAND DEAL OOMMISSIONS. B. E. Loomis Wants George W. Phelps to Pay Something Like $10,000. B. E. Loomis has sued George W. Phelps for an accounting aud a settlement of fees said to be due on account of certain real estate transactions in the city of Stockton. The complaint alleges that Phelps em- ployed George W. Hopkins to sell a tract of land; that Hopkins handled the prop- erty and secured purchasers, thereby earning his fees; that Hopkins assigned his interest in said fees to Loomis for $10,000, and that Phelps refused to pay any part of the money due or to give an accounting. Judgment is asked to com- pel tne defendant to show up his books, so that the amount of Hopkins’ comm! sions may be ascertained and that Pheips be compelled to pay the same. Pending the hearing an injunction has been grant- ed by the Superior Court restraining Phelps from doing anything that might impair the rightsof the plaintiff in the premises. e Dickey Sentenced. 8. R. Dickey, who pleaded guilty to sweating gold_coins, was sentenced by Judge Morrow vesterday. He was given eighteen months on each of five counts and fined $500. e JEWELRY store, 5-7 Third, removed to 203 Kearny.

President McKin ey May Consu Waymire Before Appointing a Circuit Judge. List of Applicants for Important Places—Congressman Loud May R:- sign to Become Postmaster. Judge Waymire, who left his home in Alameda for Washington last Saturday evening, will not tarry on his way to the National Capital. He wants to get there without delay, as Mark Hanna wired him to come. Washington that the Judge was not sum- moned by those in authority, but such is not the fact. He has documentary evi- dence to prove that his presence was sought. Judge Waymire may not be appointed United States Circuit Judge to succeed Mr. McKenna, but he will be asked to give his opinion about the distribution of party patronage in California. Judge Morrow may get the coveted Circuit Judgeship or Judge de Haven may get the place. Itis thought, however, that the President will talk the matter over with Judge Waymire before any appointment is made. ‘While It has been wired from Washing- ton that the delegation from California had agreed upon Colonel J. P. Jackson for Collector of the Port, thers are many here who insist that Joseph Spear will get that position and that Jackson will do as he did eight years ago—accept the office of Assistant United States Treasurerin San Francisco.

Sheriff McKenzie of Napa and A. J. Martin of this City are mentioned as as- pirants for United States Marshal for the Northern District of Californ The dele- zation, it is said, has agreed on H. Z. Osborne of Los Angeles for Marshal of the Southern District. The fight for the superintendency of the Mint has been reopened. The delegation, at the instance of Congressman 8. G. Hil- porn, did at one time decide to recom- mend Frank Leach for that office. Itis said that high indorsements in favor of State Senalor E. C. Voorheis of Amador and State Senator Eli Denison of Aiameda have been placed in the hands of the dele- gation. Judge Morrow’s son is also an active candidate for Mint honors. *Billy’” Hamilton is said to be slated for Naval Officer 0 succeed John P, Irish, and Paris Kilburn is on the list for Sur- veyor of the Port to succeed William D.

Y., secretary of the American Refining Company, or sugar trust, about which thers has recently himseif for & part of the time yesterdsy in been a greatdeal in tne dispatches, enjoyed looking about the City and then attended to some business he had in hand. Mr. Searles is accompanied by Mrs. Searles, Miss Searles, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Chapman, Miss Chapmsn and A. J. Oxenheim, his private secretary. Mr. Searles is a ratner tall man of good weight and wearing a full beard, with the ex- ception of the mustache. The beard reaches a pretty good length and is getting rather gray. Mr. Searles wears epectacles, but they are not gold-bowed. He wears also a black Prince Albert coat, which he keeps well buttoned. Altogether, the secretary, about whom 80 much has been said, looks much like a deacon in a prosperous church. He is pleasant to meet, but not much in he came to the point without any superfiuou “Icame out here,” he sald, “to sttend clined 0 go into an interview.

Loud will resign next year to accept the position of Postmaster of San Francisco. The rumor is nct traced to an authentic source, but it is said that Mr. Loud can get the vlace by ths asking for it, and as Mr. Mc- Coppu’s term will not expire until July of next year only a small part of Mr. Loud’s Congressional term would be sur- rendered in taking the office of Post- master. General 8. W. Backus is men- tioned also us a probable successor of Frank Mcuoppin. Dr. Marten’s Sanity. The sanity of Dr. Arthur E. Marten, now confined in the asylum at Ukiah, is to be tested by a jury. Dr. Marten became notori- ous in connection with the Alma Josselyn case, and after he served his sentence in the County Jall he wrote several tnreatening letters to General Barnes. This led to his being sent to the asylum as being a person dangerous to be at large. After several efforts to secure his re- lease on a writ of habeas corpus his attorney, M. M. Foote, got the matter before the Su- preme Court, which yesterday issued the or- der for the ‘writ to {ssue. This action practi- cally establishes Marten's right to a trial by ! jury, for tho writ presented that Dr. Marten ‘must be tried by jury in this City. — . -——— IF your printer can’t get the “Genuine Bank Stock’’ paper, send to Mysell-Rollins, 22 Clay.* . HE SIAD SHE WAS A FLIRT [It Lod to Serious Trouble on Eighteenth Street. Peter Leonard Severely Beaten by Jerry Lynch and His Relatives. Leonard Was Arrested and Discharged Yesterday, and Now the Others Will Ee Arrested. Peter Leonard and Jerry Lynch are neighbors on Eighteenth street, the for- mer living at ) and the latter at 42: Nothing disturbed the serenity of their lives until a few weeks ago, when Leonard heard that Lynch had been saying that his wife was a flirt. Leonard spoke to Lynch about it, and Lynch told him he had said so, but he wanted to know why Leonard had called his wife a flirt. Honars were even, and they decided to make a quiet investigation. It resuited in each acknowledging that he had no foun- dation for the charge. Leonard thoucht this mutual acknowl- edgment settled the business, but Lynch apparently was of a different opinion, as the sequel proved. Last Friday evening Leonard’s doorbell rang, and on opening the door he was confronted by Lynch, who had with him Mrs. Mary Lynch, his wife, James Lynch, his brother, J. Granville, his father-in- law, and M. Granville, his brother-in-law. Thinking it was a friendly call Leonard invited them to come in, but he was very much surprised when Lynch knocked him down, and, assisted by the others, gave him a terrific beating. To defend him- self Leonard drew a pocket-kniie and cut Jerry Lynch on the right arm. After bostilities had ceased Leonard went to the Seventeenth-street siation and asked for the arrest of his assailants. While telling ms story Policeman J. J. Kern, who bad heard of the row, made his appearance, and placed Leonard under ar- rest on the charge of assault with a dezdly weapon for cutting Lynch on the arm. Leonard appeared belore acting olice Judge Carroll yesterday morning and was defended by Attorney T. F. Graham. After hearing the evidence the Judge promptly dismissed the case, remarking that Leonzrd was justified in using the knife to defend himself and that Lyuch should have beeu in the dock instead of Leonard. Leonard immediately swore out com- piaints chargine Jerry Lyvnch, Mrs. Mary Lynch, James Lynch, J. Granviile and M. Granville with batiery, and the Judge will have an opportunity of again listen- ing to the story of the troubles of the Leonard and Lynch families. Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church.

Isidor Jacobs, chairman of the invita- tion committee of the Pure Food Congress, has sent the following communication to the Boards of Supervisors of all the coun- ties in the State: Gentlemen: A Pure Food Congress will be held at the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, Californin street, in San Francisco, at 10 A. X., on the 30th day of April, 1897. The question of pure food in California being of far-reaching importance s effecting, not only the health 01 our people, but the standsrd and demand ur products, has enlisted the attention and energies of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association now for more than : ayear. This organization finds, however, th in prosecuting the work against the adultera- tion of foods ana_dealers in adulteraied foods in San Fraucisco it is simply driving these products into the Interior, aud it has become convinced that in order to make the move ei- fective it must be State wide. Hence, the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, in conjunction with a strong committee from the Council of Associated Indusiries, have re- solved upon the proposed Pure Food Siate Con- gress and desire that all Tortions of the State shail be strongly and ably represented in the said congress. We therefore appeal to your honorable bodx to ppoint from your ablest and most public- spirited citizens at least ten delegates 1o this congress, and in the sclection we beg you 10 try to name those who you believe will attend. We want to make this, if possible, the event of the year. We would like to see it the rreatest convention ever held in Californie. It should be so large and representative in character, and positive and practical in action, as to startie those that src contending against us in this contest for pure foods, good health and the tame and good name of California. We trust we shall have your hearty co- operation in this matter, and that through you your county wili be fully end ably revre- sented.
