THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1897. LUCRETIA WEARS A ROWN the Proud Possessor of World’s Four-Mile Record. MADE Took a Large Slice Off the| Long-Standing Mark of Ten Broeck. HOPED ONLY FOR A COAST MARK. | Racing for Charity’s Cause at Emery- ville—Two Favorites Only Scored. Emeryville track furnished some racing | yesterday for the cause of charity. The attendance “was not above the average, but quite a striking feature marked the sport. Lucretia Borgia, a meek-looking, rather under-sized daughter of imp. Brutus and Ledette, was down on the card to go against the coast four-mile record of | 7:201, held by Marigold. With eighty-five | pounds 1n the way of little Clawson in the | saddle, she not only accomplished the | feat, but ai the same time lowered the| Deputy Collector Tobin yesterday after- world’s record for the distance held by Ten Broeck, who carried 110 pounds as a | five-year-old, and set the mark at 7:153. | The Brutus mere, paced after the first mile by two stable companio; reeled off the first mile in 1:50, the two miles in :351. the three mules in 5:223, and the four miles in 7:1L The recqrd-smasher, a chestnut just turned 4 years, stepped the last half mile in 5434 seconds, finishing _but slightly dis tressed. Owner Charles Boots will be pre- | sented with a silver cup, and the jockey, Ciawson, will be given s handsome gold meaa! The rest of the racing was marked by n g out of the ordinary, unless it was the downfall of four well-piayed favorites. Crescendo started in the opening five- furlong scramble a1l to 2 choice. With ly & band of “dogs” to beat he was away | Xt to last and finished among the *al<o | rans.” Jerilderio, a 60 to 1 shot, won in a | rive from Chappie, another rank out- | sider. | The six-furlong selling event next de- cided looked rather easy for the 8 to 5 favorite Anabasis, but Snider manaxed to get cut off two or three times with him before the stretch was reached, and, al- though coming very fast at the end, was beaten out a length by Reel, the 9 to 2 sec- ond choice, piloted by Stevens. _ Dolore was third. Billv McClosky was the warm tip for the mile and a quarter, and had Ames not gone to pieces toward the end, the chestuut would have landed the purse. | this_afternoon. | day for the Fabiol | The Position of Colonel Irish Approved | tera; He was backed down to4tol and ina drive was beaten out buta head by the 8 to 5 choice Collins, with Clawson in the saddle. Oakland, the second choice, could not scare up a gallop. The wise ones figured The Roman a *‘pipe” for the mile and a sixteenth, not- withstanding the fact that his last per- formance was not one to exult over. He went to the post a3 tod choice, and was beaten out withont much effort by Sat- <uma, the second choice, well ridden by Patsy Freeman. Marty Bergen got Ta- ranto bome in the show. § Fred McCullongh had Del PasoII right up to it, and the big brown horse was ihe real thing in the mile purse, sixth on the programme. Heavily played at threes, he made all the running, and wasonly | collared and beaten out the last fifty yards by Earl Cochran, a 12 to 1 shot rid- den by H. Brown. Montallade, the 2 to 1 choice, badly interfered with throughou: the running, was a good_third. £ | It was only through Coady’s good rid- | ing that Midas, the lukewarm choice for | the tinal six-iurlong sprint, was enabled | to capture the purse. Coming through | next the rail in the stretch, the bay horse | won driving, a length in front of Fortu- | nata, rather weakly ridden by Ames. WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE. Note. There will be no racing at Emeryville Saturday will be benefit Hospital fund. THAT “DOOTORED” BRANDY. by the Manufaciurers. The Manufucturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation have taken up the matter of the adulterated branay that it is feared will be sbipped to Europe it: spite of the vigorous protest of John P. Irish. It has been the fight of this body to enforce the pure foods laws locally and to prevent “doctored” products of the State from being sent abroad, especially wiih the name of Cali- | fornia attached thereunto. Tne stand of Irish was approved, as shown by tue fol- lowing letter sent to him yesterdas : My 19, 1897. Hom. John P. Irish, United States Custom- house, City—DEAR SIR: We were exceedingly plensed 10 hear the report of your vigorous st against the exporiation of the adul- d brandy referred 10 in un_article in the San Francisco Chronicle of this date. | Your action in the matter is to us but an- | other proof of the fact that California has pub- lic officials who unflinchingly oppose sny en- | deavors by unscrupulous persons to injure the | reputation of her products, | We hereby desire to extend to you our appre- ciation of your watchfuiness and zeal in wc ing for the interest of the State, as well as as- sure you of the assistance and support of our | association in your endeavor to proiect the public and benefit the State. We beg to re- main yours very truly, JAMES W. KERR, President. noon signed a permit for the shipment of the stuff, but Colonel Irish refused 1o give a permit on the ground that the Federal statute does not allow blending in the manufacturing bonded warehouse. Thomas D. Riordan, attorney for the warehouse people, said that there was no statute prohibiting blending and that on Collector Wise’s permit the ‘brandy" would be shipped by rail to New York | and thence to England. . e Damages for Personal Injuries. Two suits for damages by street railway accl dents were filed in the Superior Cou ter- day. C. W. Hibbard demands $7630 forin- juries received on the line of the Sutter-sireet Railway Company, and David Sternscher wants $5100 fzom the Market-stre. ilway Compsny for hurts sustained by him on the 1st of the present month. ———— Thomss M. Jewett Recovering. News was received yesterday from Chihua- bua, Mexico, to the effect that Thomas M. | Jewett, clerk to the United States Attorney in this City, had recovered sufficiently to partly regain the use of his limbs, and that he was | able 10 recognize his wife and iriends at his beuside. The outlook for his recovery is hopeful. —_———— Suits for Divorce. Divorce sults have been fiied in the Superior Court as follows: William Wykes against Alico Wykes for de- sertion. Catherine Gately against William Gately for 1l neglect. Leopold Moller against Jane Moller for de- seriion. w THE *CALL” O:KLAND RACETRACK, First Extra Day, fast. RACING GUIDE. Thursday, lMay 20.

DAYS OF GASLAMPS ARE NEARLY RUN. Some of the Thoroughfares That Will Be First At tended To. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION. What Has Been Done in Three Years Efforts to Create a College of Commer The third annual meeting of the Mer- chants’ Association was held 1n Academy of Sciences Hall last evening, and a new board of directors was elected. It was largely attended, for an Invitation nad been extended to the general public as well as to the members. The work of the association for the past year was reviewed, and plans of propused improvemerts were outlined. F. W. Dohrmann, the president, opened | the meeting with a few remarks, which were followed by the reading of the an- nual report of the directors, which was 1n substance as follows: To-night closes the third vear in the exist- ence of the Merchants’ Association. In_the history of a cily three years are puta brief span. In the sctive life of this association, however, many events have trauspired. It is only possible within the limited scope of this report to recount briefly the most important results accomplished during the past year and allude to the work now progressing or pro- 1 in the near future, Tarce years ugo the Merchants’ Association began its_career with but forty-seven public- spirited citizens. Tywo years ago the roli num- bered 406 To-day 867 business firms are enrolied ss regular members of the asso- ciatiou. Every industry in the City is repre- sented. ‘ihe outstandiug dueson ine 1stof this month amounted to $1340. The amount of cash on hand was $746 21, maKing a sur- plus to the credit of the associntion on May 1, 1897, of $2086 21. Thé comparaiively clean streets end side- walks of to-duy, as compared with their filthy u thres yewrs ago, fully confirms tue praciical efficiency of the specifications pre- pared by this association and twice adopted by the municipality. With the introduction oi better pavements still mors iavorabie re- suits will be aitamed. We regret to report that our earnest efforts in favo: of street-sprinkiing by the municipai- ity, s in other cities, have not yet met with success. Pariial sprinkling is, however, s cured under the present street-cleaning speci- ficatious. Your uoard wiil continue its efforts in naving the Ciiy authorities perform the icipal duty of street-sprink ing. As ferti street-sweepings have | long beeu recognized in many cities. The re- { cent experiment of using the sweepings of our strecis for this purpose proved so in- vigoratin to the growing plants in Gate Park, that arrangements satisfac- ihe Park Commissioners and to the -street Rallway Company were under ¥, whereby it was hoped this experimeut would become a permanent feature oi the Cit; Uniortunuely the recent decisiou of the At- torney-teneral, declaring the hauling of sireet sweepings us beyoud the legal power of the | street1aliway company, has interrupted our pans in thisairection aud will deiay their fu.fillment until other arrangemonts may be effected for the transportation of the street sweepings 10 Goiden Gate Park. The cobbies that have sv long disfigured muuy of the principal streets in the nenrt of the City, are at last_disappearing. The efforts | of this association in counection with the City and property-owners have resulted in final arrangemenis for the modern repavement of several blocks on Stocton and on Geary streets. The repavement of a number of other biocks wiil shortly begin. Your board oi direcrors consented to under- take tue experiment of ahowing the advan- tages of lighting the principal streets ot the City with powerful electric arc lights. 1wo hundred and twenty-eight arc lights are now suspended along seven y-two blocks through- out the City. The entire expense of this ex- periment 1o better street lighting hes been voluntarily borne by the m €riy-owners along tue sireets iluminated. is 1w proposed i0 secure a readjustment of the gas and electric lights, o tha. the better illumination of the streets may be accom- plisned by the City uta very slight increase over the present cost. A carefuily prepared plun for effecting this desirabie result will be submitted to-night. Tue progress of & city 18 often judged by things that_appear irivial. The absence of the littie sign-guides giving the iames of ieut cause of annoyance, espe- ciaily to visitois to our City. A detaned list of all missiug signs has been furnisi.ed to the Superintendent ot Btreets, with a request that the ordinance of the City requiring :hese signs at street corners be fully enforced. The partial report made by the official en- gineers in 1892 shows conciusively that the resent defecuve drainage of ihe City de- munds radical improvement. Many of the sewers are in suca a dilapaated condition that more patchwork is really a waste of pub- lic funds. Your board beileves thata thor- ough and scientific construction of a perfected system s imperative. Your board, therefore, has recommended the appointment of & commission of Teliable engineers 10 com- plete the work begun by the previous Sewer- aze Commission. Based upon such a report the City authorities conidsa‘ely proceed 10 de- vise ways and means for the early construc- tion of & correct sewer 8ysiem, tnatnay also coutain conduits for ail the wires that now disfigure the streets. The citizens of San Francisco would then, no doubt, be wiiling to vote for the issuance of suflicient municipal bonds for the consummation of this much- needed improvement. The experienc- of other cities as well as the experiments upon our streets, clearly prove that & more liberal policy should be adopted by San Francisco in street pavements. The custom in vogue of excluding certain desira- ble puving materials shouid be changed. No g0od reason appears Lo exist ior the absolute exclusion of asphalt, woud and brick from competition in the street pavements of San Francisco. Specifications for the use of these materials’ under mainienance guaranteed of at Jens: five years have been carefuliy pre- prred by he engineer of this association and recommended 10 the Board of Supervisors for incorpuration in future contracis for sireet pavements. The question of ascertaining the materials best suited for street pavements in San Francisco s all the more urgent in view of the contemplated repavement of Market stzect at au early date. The proper repave- ment of this muin artery of the City will largely determine the character of the pave- ments upon the many streets tributary i it. Wit a modern phvement there {s ardiy an: other street in the world that would present & more imposing appearance than this mag- nificent thorougiifare. A special commitiee of twenty-five promi- nent citizens was appointed by your bourd of directors 1 secure a suitable site forthe Wi.- merding School of Industrial Ars. Confer- ences have been held with s commitiee of the board of regents of the muniversity of Califor- nia and a number of availuble sites have been offered. The regents of the University are now deliberating upon the selection of one of these sités, and 1t is hoped that the boys of California will soon enjoy the beneficence of J. Clute Wilmerding, one of the nobie pioncer merchants of San Francisco, The continued depression in all lines of business makes the sirictest economy neces- sery in public as well as in private affairs, The onerous burden of axation must be les- seued as much us possible. An annual ex. penditure of from $5,000.000 0 $6,000,000 or the simple maintenance and operation of this City government is altogether exorbitant, s and prop- | t 1n the report submitted last year to the Board of Supervisors by the Merehunts’ Association it was clearly shown that upon & total valua- tion of $330,000,000 the City government could be properly and efficiently operated UPpOR & levy of $1 upon the $100 assessed valu- ation. With this end in view another report will be prepared and submitted to the Board of Supervisors before the levy for the next fiscal year is made. Renewed efforts will also be made to prevent a repetition this year of any unjust increase by the State Board of Equal.zation in the assessed valuation of Pproperty in San Francisco. The absolute necessity of a new organic law for San Francisco becomes more potent every day. The utter lack of method and responsi- bility in the present consolidation act has caused confusion and uucertainty. Under such unfavorable conditions it s well nigh impossible for the City to go ahead. Not only docs this defective municipal structure per- mit lavish expenditure of the public funds, but it also stands as & bar to the construction of nefssary public improvements. At the last meeting of the Citizens' Charter Associa- tion the president of that organization, Mayor James D. Phelan, was empowered by ‘unaui- mous resolution'to appoint a committee of 100 citizens, representing all classes in the community, to prepare a new charter for San Fraucisco.” 'We “sincerely hope and believe that the wise selection of this representative committee will resuit in the early preparation of a model charter that will win the hearty SUPDOrt of every citizen having at heart the welare of the City. With a modern organic law to direct her course aright, and under the benificent influences of the new primary elec- tlon law, Sap Francisco will at last be enabled to take Her Just place among the MmOt Progres- sive cities oi the world. In conciuding this annual address, your Dboard desires to congratulate the Citizens of San Franciseo upon their recent awekening to the vital importance of taking creater interest in munioipal affairs. The commendable ef- forts of the present Mayor and Board of Super- visors to bring about measures of economy and reform in the administration of the City government deserve the encouragement of the peopie and the co-operation of every elvic organization. The only hope for the future of our community rests in the civic pride of our people. Once let the spirit of civic pairiotism e thorougnly aroused and no bafrier can y the frresistible power of reform. ' This was followed by a report of the committee selected to nominate the board of directors for the ensuing year. The filteen names presented were: A. S. Baldwin, Joseoh Britton, Charles Bund- schu, James S. Conwell, F.W. Dohrmann, A. Fusenot, Hugo D. Keil, Daniel V. Kelly, Herbert E. Law, Alexander McCord, Henry Michaels, John E. Quinn, Hugo Rothschild, W. R. Sherwood and Vander- lynn Stow. The gentiemen selected were elected unanimously. The retiring board presented an inter- esting plan for the lighting of the City by electricity instead of by gas. President Dohrmann explained that it was not the idea to secure a perfect system at once, but tbat the plan suggested would be a great improvement on the one now in | operation. In substance the improve- ments to be worked for were as follows: In order to make & beginning in the im- provement of our system of lighting, the board of directors presents the following plan {or the better lighting of our principal tuor- oughfares during the next fiseai year, with the sion throughout the City. The leading prin- ciple of this system, with « few exceptions, is that of xuspending an arc light in the cenier of ench crossing of el the business sireets o the City and aispensing with adjacent gas lamps which will thereby be rendered unnec- essary. In addition to'the regular business streets {t 18 ulso proposed to piace electric lights at each crossing on Golden Gate avenue, from Market sireet to Devisadero, and on Folsom as far out as Niueteenth sireet, from Nineteenth street to Twenty-sixth being siready lighted in tnis manner. It seems very desirable that one | main thoroughfare to the park siould be well lighted, and in order that (qual fact.ities may be afforded the Mission residents it is propose to include their boulevard in the same system. Upon the main business sireets south of Murket, such as Third, Fourtn, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth, and Sixteenth streetin the Mis- sion, where the blocks are double the length of those north of Market, it 1s proposed to place a lignt in the middie of the b.ock in ad- i | dition to those on the ecrossings. It 1s pro- | posed to suspend over the centerof Markel | street a uniform line of lights reaching from the ferries to Valencia str ese” lights are to be placed os follows: From East to First streets, the biocks being 275 teet long on the | south side, a light wiil be suspended opposite | the intersection of each of the streets south of | Market. On the succeeding blocks, which are 825 feetlong, there will be two additional ligits Dbetween intersections, and on the 550-foot blocks one additional light to each biock. This will require thirty-five lights, all about 300 feot apart. In order todo away with the unsightly appearance of the usual lot of wires and ropes required to haul the lumps to the side of the street to be trimmed it is proposed to suspend these lights from small wire cables stretched from the side of the streets, and the wires conducting the electricity are to be n- closed in conduits and fastened close against the cable. All ropes will be dispensed with and the lamp trimmed from the center of the street. The districis to be lighted are as follows: Market street, from Kast to Valencia; the business streets south of Market, from Third to Ninth; Valencia, from Fiiteenth to Twenty- third; Mission, from First to Niath and from Flfteenth to Twenty-fitth; Folsom, trom Third to Nineieenth; Sixteenth, from Guerrero to Folsom; Devisadero, from California to Oak; Fillmore, from Geary to Washington; Uaion, irom Octavia to Buchas.an; Polk, from Sutter to Vallejo; Larkin, from McAliister to Sutter; Pacific, from Jones to Hyde; Goiden Gaie avenue, from Market to Devisadero; Hayes, from Market to Laguna; Luguua, irom Fell to Golden Gate avenue; the retail district north of Market and east of Taylor, including the retail portions of Montgouiery avenue, Stock- ton and Dupont streets, together with several other blocks in sundry localities. The cost of this system of lighting will be as follows: On all the streets north of Market and in the Western Addition, as well as on the greater portion of the streets south of Market, each elecuic light will displace four gas lamps. Taking the figures of the present con- tract with the City, these four gas lamps will cost 48 cents per night and the electric light 55 cents pe- night, the difference in cost thus belng only 7 cents per night for sach_eiectric light. Cost of 281 electric lights at 55 cents per nieht, 8154 55; increase in cost of eleatric ights pernight, $29 51; cost of 1042 gas iamps 12 cents per night, $125 04: or $796 77 per month of twenty-seven days, or $9561 24 per year. We are satisfled, however, that if the electric iamps were lighted every night during the year the rate per lamp aL present charged could be sufficiently reduced so that tne total cost of the proposed system would come within the estimate above calculated upon the basis of a moonlight scnedule. The president siaied that the Supervis- ors will be asked to make provision in the next tax levy to put into op ration this improved system of street lighting. A Tesoiution 10 this effect was passed by the meeting. This finished the regular business of the meeting and the remainder of the session was devoted to addresses upon the pro- vosed college of commerce. Arthur Rodgers, regent of the Uni- versity of California, who introduced a resolution before the Board of Regents to aad to the university a college of com- merce, delivered an interesting address upon his pet theme. A. A, Wnkmu, president of the City Board of Trade, also svoke upon the same subject. THE ELECTION ALL RIGHT. Resolutions of Denial Passed by the Women’s Press Association. 'Ac a recent meeting of the Pacific Coast Women'’s Press Association the following n:‘ylunons were unanimously adopted: HEREAS, An article appeared in the Chron- icle of May'15, setiing forih that discord and inharmony were ruling in the Pacific Coast Women’s Press Association, anl that its presi- den’ was not the choice of tho club at the last election; ana whereas, Mrs. Dickinson was the only candidate presented by the nominating commiltee for the office, aud was the omly canaidate voted for by the club, her election being unanimous, b it Resolied, That the article here referred to is a fulse siatement throughout, made against our worthy presidentand the ‘action of the club in electiug her to its highest office; that the instigation of such a report is working di- Tectiy against the best intereats of the associa- ton; that any such action, without the knowl- edge of the members of the association, is & persoual insalt, calculated to foment and ios- ter discord und inharmony, and deserves the severest condemnation.

Inquiry has disclosed the fact that the Kahn allowance was paid from the current expense fund of the university. The de- mand therefore was not presented to the State Board of Examiners for approval. Here is how the money was paid: The finance committee of th e regents, of wh eh A. 8. Halii iie is cuvairman, autvor- 1z:d Lovis Sloss, the treasurer, to advance the sum nam:d to Juuus Kaun. ‘This ac- tion of the finance commitiee was subse- quently approved by the regents in o-.en ession, a maj rity of t.e membe:s voling ou the appropristion. Governor Budd was Inctin the room when the roll was called on the finance commitiee’s report at the | lust meeting, but beore he left the session | e said he was opi 0sed to the allowance of that money_to Mr, Kuhn. Speaker Frank L. Coombs voted 1n the negalive on the | call of the roll. | The factis now established than the sum of $1250 was advanced to Julius Kann by Louis Sloss, treasurer, on Lhe order of | the finance committze. Mr. Slosa ex- plained yesterday thut he had no discre- tionary power in the premises. He was ordered by the regents in accordance with the prescribed methods of disbursing the funds of the unive-sity to pay this amount, and he accordingiy paid the money, tak- ing Kahn’s receipt therefor. Woen the treasurer makes an advance of this kind he receives a :ew days later a check signed by the president and secre- tury of the Board of Regents, to cover the amountadvanced. Thischeckis made pay- able to the treasurer. Whatever Governor Budd’s views may have been on Tuesday, May 11, when the regenis held their last meeting, it is cer- tain that he aporoved, as president of the board, the advance to Kahn as early as May 14. Lowss Sloss, treasurer, holds a check dated May 12, 1897, duly signed by James H. Buad and tue secretary of the bo.rd for the amount advanced to Kahn. THE CALL requested that one of its arusts be permiited to make a tracing of this check bearing the Governor’s signa- ture, so that a fac-simile could be pre- sented. but the treasurer held that the paper Was the property of the regents and its reproduction could not be allowed with- out the consent of the finanze commitee of the Board of Regents. Among the regents themselves there is a disinclination to talk about the matter. Several of them admit in private conver- sation that a mistake was made in authorizing any outsider to lobby at Sac- ramento. When the Rev. Dr. Bonte was secretary of the board, he went to Sacra- mento as occaxion required and kept the board inlormed regarding the various bills introduced. After his death it was thougzht advisable 1o have a man on the lookout, and Regent Reinstein’s influence caused the appointment of Julius Kahn. Members of the Legisiatore assert that Kahn did not do anything to promote the passage of the bill atiowing th- university un additional tax levy of 1 cent. There were graduaies of the university in the Scnate and Assembly, and they were so eager to obtain credit for serving the college that quite a rivairy sprang up among them. Assembiyman Wright of Alameda guided the bill in the Assambly and Senator Stratton of the same county rushed it through the Senate. The payment of $1250 to Julius Kahn is likely to cause an ugly scandal which may be thoroughly investigated at the next session of the Legislature. Governor Budd said last night that he was compelled to sien the check to cover the amount paid to Kahn. As president of the board his function was only cleri- cal. KEW TO-DAY.
