14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1897, NAILS A AKER T0 THE WALL “Examiner” Yarn About the Watsonville Plant Exposed. CLAUSSPRECKELS MAKES ANSWER. Names Were Given of Iadi- viduals Who Had No Stock in the Company. THICK AS ERRORS WERE BEES. No Struggie to Get Possession of Dr. Buckley’s Shares, as Noae S ood in His Name. The faking newspaper of San Fraucisco has been exposed sgain. This time the exposure is so complete and convincing that the faker has no honorable course open but retraction and apology. Claus Spreckeis takes up a yarn printed in the Examiner of May 23 and estab- lishes the fact beyond the shadow of a dount that the story, heralded under con- spicuous display lines, concerning the shareholders and the stock of the Watson- ville sugar vlant is false from top to bottom. Here is the way in which Mr. Spreckels disposes of the Examiner's ex- clusive canard: % To the E of May The Call: In the Examiner there is an article with such headings as these: “Held Up by the Trust,” ‘Outside Stockholders in the Watsonville Plant Forced to Sell,” “Clans Spreckels Gave the Stockholders No Option,” “Grip of the Beet-Sugar Plants” This article goes on to sey that the Watsonville Beet-Sugar Company was largely owned by San Francisco business men and that “more than haif of the stock wes owned by Mr. Spreckels”; that in order to turn over control of this beet-sugar factory 10 the sugar trust ~Mr. Spreckels forced the de stockholders to that “not one ixious to surrender the stock, which paid nandsomely, but that no one dared to disobey the request to seil it I wish to say that this article is utterly e—faise in assortion, false in insinuation end faise in innuendo, There is nothing in t that s true except the assertion that the Watsonville Beet-Sugar Company had a eapi- | al stock and had paid dividends of $117 per : on same. Any one of the genticmen ) named as holding stock will, if asked, sey that the srticle is untrue. Even the table sholders is not correct. This is u cor- list of what were called the “outside shareholders”: man, 80 shares; Joseph Ehrman, 40 redericka Ebrman, 50 shares; Louis es; John L. Koster, 100 shares; muel Sussman, 80 | Plummer, 50 shares; E. J. W. C. Waters, 250 shares shares; A. B. Spreckels, 200 shares. | In the printed list in the Examiner there | were, among the Vrious other errors, the names of peopie Who hxd no stock atall. The Examiner put down Dr. Bucklev as possessing fifty shares and said: “The last fifty out- 9 ned without a strug- is said that Dr. Buckley was paid & higher price than his feliows. Jn every case have received all their money back and 17 & share to boot.” This is also false. There were no fiity shares standing in the name of Dr. Buckley. There were no shares in the name of Dr. Buckiey at all. Therefore there could not have been a “struggle over the shares standing in the name of Dr. Buckley,” and therefore Dr. Buck- ley “could not have been paid a higher price than his fellows.” As tothe “original stock- holders receiving $317 a share,” thatalso is salse. Each stockholder received $300 s share. wtement that any one of them receivea a ehare 15 also false. So is the statement they were *‘held np” by Mr. Spreckels or sreed to sell” by him. The stockholders sold their shares voluntarily. 1 do not see that there is much left to reply toin thisarticle. From the heading o the last line, from top to bottom, from the middle up and down and across, it is false, But if there be any one who is inciined to believe such a circumstantial and detailed falsehood ; if anybody believes I “held up” these gentle- men o- ““forced them to sell,” or if any one believes that 1 sought an unjust advantage over them by paying them 300 a share for stock which cost $100, I can only say that I will sell my shares 10 them aay day for $10 Jess than 1 paid them for it. They received £300. Iwill turn over to any one of these siockholders ths amount of stock hesold me a1 $200 a share. Thus theycan make money by buying stock back again.

The Interview Caused Some Excite- ment in the Rotunda of the Baldwin Hotel. Miss Emma Ashloy surprised ‘‘Lucky” Baldwin and about twenty guests of the Baldwin Hotel yesterday morning by rushing into tle rotunda from the Powell- street entrance and pouncing upon the illionaire with a demand that he buy 0 or $40 worth of tickets to the perform- ance at the Auditorium to-nicht, an enter- rainment for the benefit of her sister, Lilliun Ashley. The capitalist was sitting quietly and reading a newspaper at the moment of the young woman’s appearance, and he was greatly surprised when he looked up to sce his nemesis holding out a bundle of tickets, saying: *It's a shame for me to be hustling around and seliing tickets for the support of your aaughter, Anita Bald- win, while you are enjoying lifeand living on the interest of your millions.” “Go away and do not bother me,” said Baldwin, “for I want no conversation THE SCOT MUST DON RIS KILTS Preparations All Completed for the Great Picnic. To-Day the . Caledonian Ciub Will Play for Burns’ Monument. The Spirit of Hospitality Sti'l Lives in the Scottish Bosom and Will Find Vent at These Gam:s. The fame of the Caledonian Club’s hos- pitality is world wide. Many famous men of many nations have at one time or an- other accepted it, and at the annual gath- ering and games to be held at Shell Mound Park this afternocn it will be dis- pensed in the good old-fashioned way, but with the accompaniment of a number of modern irilla, The proceeds of the games are to be turned over to the Burns monument fund, and the day’s proceed- ings will have a decided Burns flavor. The chief and chieftains of the club will re- ceive their friends and visitors in a cot~ tage built in imitation of the home of the great Scotch poet in Ayrshire. In for- mer years it has been the custom to re- ceive in the “‘tent,” and vleasant recol- lections of the good times had there linger with all who have been fortunate enough 10 have enjoyed them.

The teacher hopes to avert the impending trouble by refusing admittanee to the classroom of nearly the whole | class. Last night, after spending e most exciting evening with them, she toid no less than twenty-five of them ‘o take their books and go home, and forbidding tbem, at the same time, to return. The class last evening numbered thirty- three pupils, and of these only eight were exonerated [rom biame and given permis- sion to continue attendance at the school. The Washington Grammar School is iocated on Washington street, at the cor- ner of Muson. Miss McQuade's class is rather lively boys they are. They have bzen given to playing prac- tical jokes upon cach othef, and the | teacher herself has not wholly escaped. A few nights ago a powder was exploded in the classroom that caused such an ill | smell and coughing of the pupils and teacher that it almost compelled & dis- missal of the class. On the next succeeding evening, when the class was called up to recite, almost every lad in the room, as he moved out from bis desk into the aisle, stepped upon an explosive match, and the result was like an engagement of infaatry or a Ohi- nese holiday. The teacher was given a nervous saock, not knowing for &n in- stant the cause of the explosions, | She posiponed the hearing of the les- | sons ana undertook to discover who had done the mischief by a system of thorough questioning. No one knew where the matches bad come from, so far as she could learn from the boys. As the pupils moved about, going forward to be ques- tioned or returnin: or moyving aboui in their seats, a desultory fire was kept up as they trod upon a stray match, and this added greatiy to the amusement of the punils and the irritation of the teacher. One boy said he had been struck on the head with a package of matches that were apparently thrown in from- the road. This was accepted as an explana- | tion, and the matter was dropped at that | time. Last night the class was being in- structed in geography by means of pic- | tures thrown upon & screen through a | magic lantern. Suddenly the explosions began, as upon the previous night, from all over the room. Miss McQuade began another vigorous | inquiry at once which s..e kept up she had convinced herself that a great majority of her pupils were in & conspir- acv to turn the class from ils purpose of acquiring an education 1nto that of sim- ply making merry. BShe found that the matches had been prepared by cutting off all the woo1 &nd leaving notning but the explosive end, so thai they might be dis- tributed over the floor without being dis- covered until trodden upon. She bacame assured that they were not thrown into the room by an outsider. She thereupon dismissed all those whom she had reason to believe were in the con- spiracy, with a result of leaving only eight pupils in good standing. Most of | the pupils di-claim all knowledge of the affair and the matter will probably be taken Lefore the Board of Education. WED AH FONG’SDAUGHTER. Rumors of the Engagement of Willlam A. Henshall and the Mongolian Belle. The latest matrimonial rumor from Honolulu tells of the approaching nup- tials of Miss Helen G. Ah Fong, the lovely daughter of the famous millionaire Chi- nese merchant of the island, and William A. Henshall, a young attorney, formerly of this City, but now connected with the firm of Thurston, Hartwell & Stanley, the most prominent law office of Hawaii. The date of the wedding is set for June 4, and it will be one of the prominent events in Honoiulu society. A sisier of the bride wa- married some two years ago to Captain Whiting of the nevy. Young Mr. Henshall is the gon of the Rev. Dr. Henshall, a Charch of Eagland clergyman, who resided for some time in Los Angeles, but who three years ago re- turned to the “old country.” His children remained here, bowever, and two of his s0ns are now stuaents at the State Univer- sity. Another, Herbert, is a salesman for a Jocal commission-house, and a married daughter also lives here. The Editorials In to-day’s News Leiter show vigorous thought, with you and do not want to buy any tickets,”” Miss Emma held her niece in her lap ast night and told the story of her en- counter with the man she is pursuing. *1 saw him yesterday morning,” she said, “and I rushed into the hotel to have an interview, for I had been trying to see him every day for a week. I was going up sireet with Mrs. Carrie Clarke Ward, on a Powell-street_ecar, so I got off and hurried into the hotel. Baldwin was much excited when I appeared and he moved his hanis like an old woman, nervously nrging me to go. This was great amusement for the office-boys and those assembled, for they had been accustomed to seeing me muke fre- quent trips througn the hotel in search jor my niece’s father, and they were pre- pared for the fun, but the old man would not put upa cent for tickets and would not give any encouragement, so I said, ‘We'll have to meet again some day. Good-by until I meet you alone some day when we can have a quiet conversation,’ and with that I left.” Miss Ashley says she has been ap- proached by a man who asked how much she would take to cancel her engagement at the Auditorium, and she replied that it would be worth about §$1000. She thinks she will have a gocd audience. The programme for the living picture exhibition is unique, each picture being furnished with a legend. In the first an actor is dressed to personate “Lucky’’ Baldwin, kneeling before Misz Ashley. He is made to say: “Ilove you, Lillian! Oh, how Ilove you!” In the secona pic- ture Baldwin is refusing the appeals of the mother and babe for aid, and saying, “No, not a cent!” The story throughout is told largely in an allegorical style after the manner of the old mystery and miracle plays. Miss Ashley =ays the sale of tickets has been very encouraging for to-night's perform- ance. FIREMAN ARRESTED. John Foster, Foreman of Engine Com- pany No. 6, Charged With Tamper- iog With Airbrakes. John Foster, foreman of Engine Com- pany No. 6, was arrested Thursday morn- ing by special officers of the Southern | Pacific Company, charged with tampering 1! with the airbrakes of a freight train. Foster, besides being a fireman, finds time to perform the duties of lamp- lighter. While making his rounds Thurs- day morning to extinguish the lamps at the foot of SBeventh street, on Townsend, he saw what he supposed was a man lying under a train standing there. He stopped and looked under the car. As he came from the train, proceeding on s way, he was arrested and, although he explained his business, was locked up. ‘I'bis is his statement of the circumstances. He was taken before Judge Campbell on Thursday. Neither of the persons who arrested him appeared, and the case was carried over until this morning. Foster has borne an excelient reputa- tion beretofore. He has taken no action toward securing counsel. The counsel for the railroad suggested that a mistake might have been made. Foster is a_mar- iied man and lives with bis family on Sixth street, opposite the engine-house. - CHINESE MURDER TRIAL. Chin Ah Wah Making His Defense in Judge Dunne’s Court. Chin Ah Wah, charged with the murder of Gin Lum Lee on the 4th of last Octo- ber, is on trial for his life in Judge Dunne’s departmant of the Superior Conrt. District Attorney W. 8. Barnes is con- ducting the prosecution in parson, as sisred by Thomas D. Riordan and Walter §. Hinkle. The jurors impaneled to try the case are as follows: Thomas R. Norton, 8, Howe, L. G. Schord, 8. Aaron, P. D. Dunn, James Ros.iter, J. H. Paige, M. J. Kelly, William T. Grasse, James F. Swift, A. J. Armsiroug, J. F. D. Curtis. During yesterday’s hearing of the case Jee Chong Jone, secretary ior the Chi- nese Six Companies, testified that he ana the companies represented by him are doing all in their power to convict the ac- cused. He said that they would pay $600 to their special counsel if a conviciion of murder of the first degree should be se- cured, and $400 for a verdict of murder of the second degree, with a smaller amount of compensation for convictions of minor gegn-l. The trial will last for several ays, beloneed to his guest. The stranger was monarch of all he surveved and nothing was 100 good for him. Even the life of his host’ was at his command if it was necessary that it should be sacrificed in defense of the visitor. Tue spirit of those days still lives in the Scottish bosom and finds vent in the enlertainment during tHese prosaic modern times at the an- nual gatherings of the clans in the recep- tions in the “tent.” In the Burns cottage will be exhibited a number of relics of the poet—his snuff- box, a wooden loving-cup, a cup and sau- cer which belonged to his wife,a teapot used in his h. me, a chair and a number of other articles connected with which are circumstunces in the life of the bard. It has bern suggested thata man made up to impersonaie “Bobby’ Burns be chosen to receive the visitars. The games have aroused even more in- terest among competitors this year than Dbefore. There will be miore participants, and it will not be surprising i! a number of records are shattered.

The Attorneys Formu'ate a New Plan to Delay the Ex:- cution. All Sorts and Conditions of Crank Letter-Writing Fiends Are’ Develcp ng. Durrant and his attornoys expect much from this day. After two weeks' atten- tion to the case Governor Budd is to ren- der his decision on the application for a respite or commutation of the death sen- tence of the condemned man to life im- prisonment. The last is only viewed as a vasue possibility, even by the most ardent advocates of Durrant’s cause, The Governor sent word to the City last night that he would make public his deci- sion this morning. Those who are best acquainted with him and his methods say he will not inter ere with the death sen- tence at all. The closing appeal of the condemned man’s attorneys for a respite, in order that the Minnie Williams case may be tried, if indicative of anything, tends to show the desperation of their cause. Durrant himself is hopeful. He was disappointed to learn last night that the Governor had not yet acted. He will re- ckive the news—either good or bad— rough his mother, who intends visiting him at San Quentin to-day. The attorneys for the condemned are prepared for any emergency with which unfavoravle action on the part of the Gov- ernor may confront them. If a respite is refused it will not necessarily foilow that Durrant will be hanged on June 11. Botn Eugene F. Deuprey and Geueral Dickin- son have already formulated a pian of ap- peal to the United States courts for the purpose of delaying the execution of the death sentence. First, it is possible to apply to the United States District Court for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground tnat Dur- rant is imprisoned in violation of the con- stiwtion. Such a proceeding will, of course, be purely formal, but on account of the peculiar wording of section 763 of the Federal statutes it paves the way for subsequent procedare that may tend to postpone Durrant’s death some months. The section in question provides that an appeal of a case may be taken from the final decision of any court “inferior to the Circuit Court”” of the United States. The word ‘“inlerior” in this instance is the key by which Durrant's advisers hope to do business. Were an appeal taken direct to tne Circuit Court of Appeals, as the law permits, a refusal would bar further hope of delaying the deaih sent:nce. So the programme is to apply for the writ of habeas corpus first to the District Court. A refusal of the application would enable the attorneys to then appeal from this decision to the Circuit Court of Appeals. ‘The matter then at issue would not be the guilt or innocence of Durrant at all, but the refusal of the inferior court to grant a writ of habeas corpus. Then, of course, th re is still an appeal to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of error, or something of this sort. The lower Federal courts might, of course, be first attacked in this way. O: course, all these various phases of appealing the case will take time, and that is what Deu- prey and Dickinson are striving for these days. Should they be successtul in oj.en- ing the ‘“appeal’’ door ot the Federal courts Durrant’s life is safe for many months. The Supreme Court of the United States or the Circuit Court of Ap- peals will not convene until October, and the very fact that the case in any phase is pending before these tribunals would in NFFW 70-DAY—DRY GOODS GREAT SPECIAL OFFER M | SATURDAY’S TRADE!

Budd, the mother of the Governor, Mrs. Durrant began to search for William Meakin, a hotel clerk. Mrs. Budd had re- called to Mrs. Durrant a siory she had heard some Weeks ago in a roundabout way thata friend of Mrs. Dr. Freeman of 122 Turk street had been told thata ‘‘Stock- ton hotel clerk,” very much resembling her son, nad ridden on the Powell-street car with Blanche Lamont from the Nor- mal School. It transpires that Meakin was in Stockton at the time of the mur- ders, an employe of the Mansion House. This resemblance to Durrant caused him some annoyance among his associates at the time, and led him to shave off his must: and side whiskers. Meakin is now residing at Eighth and Minna streets and told Chief Lees that he never knew either Minnie Williams or Blanche La- mont. The case has developed the letter-writ- ing fiend. Attorney Deuprey and Dickin- son are hesieged with dozens of letters of all kinds. Governor Budd gets a dozén communications a day_informing him what to do. Chief of Police Lees’ mail has its portion daily of similar messages. Communications are flowing into all the newspaper offices in a way that shows the malady is widespread. Elair Case Postpouned.

A FEUEHAL_[JI!AHANIINE.W Dr. Resenau Has Receivad Defi- nite Orders From Wash- incton. Co flict of Authority Batween the | State and National Dcctors Ended for a Time. H Dr. Rosenau, the Federal Quarantine Officer, is now supreme, and captains of incoming ships may in future take his say-so on all occasions. The State quar- antine officers have all along claimed the right of priority inspection, but now that is done away with, as Dr. Rosenaun re- ceived his commission from the President yesterday. This action definitely settles the exist. ing deadlock between the State and Fea- eral auth rities. The authority of the Federal cfficer is now paramount and his decision concerning any question of disin- fection or detention is final. Collector of the Port John H. Wise has been so .in- | formed. The action of the President is the result of an investigation made by ex-Governor Caleb V. West, who was sent to San Fran- ciseo from Washingten to investigate the conflict of authority between the two quarantine officers. As a result of his re- port the authorities at Washington have decided rhat only the permission of the ! Federal Quarantine Officer 18 neces sary to enter the Custom-house and that the local authorities have nol the right of priority of inspection. e | In view of the thoroughness of the Fed- eral quarantine and the fact that the offi- cials have letters from health officers| abroad and are prompily informed of changes in health ‘conditions 1n all parts | of the world it would seem that the main- taining of a State quarantine was a need- less expense. There has bsen many a clash between | the two quarantine officers, and time and again steamers have b:en detained await- ing either one or the other. from China, Japan, Australia and British Columbin have growled frequently be- cause they were not allowed 1o Jeave the ship. Then the growling would break ont again_whenever they found they had to submit to a second inspection. In the case of the Colon a few days ago one doctor passed her, while the other physi. cian ordered her into quarantine. All this trouble will now be done away with, aud ships can hereafter be docked and cargo discharged on Dr. Rosenau’s order. 2 e Laplanders often skate a distance of 150 miles a day. ' NEW TO-DAY.
