THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1897 CRUSHING QUTTH REVOLT San Quentin’s Warden Resorts to Drastic Measures. GUARDS INSTRUCTED TO SHOOT. Order to Be Restored Though Every Mutineer Is such punishment in the end. They boast that the officers of the prison will be glad to call “quits” whenever they are willing, In their arrogance they are letting drop threats that any punishment inflicted on them or any of their number on account of the present sirike will be visited by dire vengeanc:. When Guard Jones en- tered the dungeons during the riot two days ago aud drove a b.ood-thirsty high- wayman from Shasta County back into his cell he was met with an oath and the threat: “I'll get you, you —, when I get out, Yes you will,” replied Jones, making a pass at the shorn poll of the other with a club, “but I'll get you first if you try ir.” This is but one of many incidents of | this kind. Many of the prison guards | have grown to fear future revenge if they | persist in anv severity on the inmates of | the prison. The prisoners have long ago ;lemned the magic there is in threats of | this sort, and have swaggere! about the yard at times boasting that they had the guards “dead to right.” *“We have got Hala in a hole,” said one of the leaders in the rebellion this morning,’’ and I guess be'll be glaa to | come to our terms.

This was the empbatic answer of the joard of Prison Directors to-day to Warden Hale's application for instruc- jon to quell the present prison mutiny. n top of this came a speciul messags tom Governor Budd in San Francisco de. aring that all prisoners who refused to b o work at once would be denied a batoration of their citizenship upon their kscharge from p ntion for executive clemency in their be- kif would be entertained.

But it 1s this spirit of swagger that char- | acter: every act of the convicts in San Quentin. They work not to obey the authorities but to oblige them. With | these privileges they are much better | situated than a great many people outside the walls who labor from necessity. The present strike promises to change all this. San Quentin, long famous asa sort of pleasure resort for criminals, may give Folsom a race for a reputation of the opposite class. it was proposed at first to | transfer twenty of the most prominent belligerents to Warden Aull’s house by | way of ndding San Quentin of the chief mischief hatchers, but this programme has now been abandoned. Warden Hale declares there wili be no quarter or half way measures meted out to the rebels. San Quentin is going to put on spurs and boots and ride over these men who have set at defiance its whole code of ciscip- | line, he says, if it takes a year to do it | *“The men will find that my kindness to them has behind it the ability to be firm,"" | nesays. “They will be glad enowgh to o allow them to. the convicts will find that they will have a rough road before the thing is over.

The home club deserves a great deal of credit for the completeness of its arrange- ments and satisfactory conduct ot its in- itial meet. Becretary S. J. McKnight bas given constant attention to the prelimi- naries, including the construction of the track, purchasing of prizes, securing en- tries and £0 on, and is entitled to great cr!dil for the success of his arrange- ments. The club made a tidy sum on the meet, an immense crowd being present. The | grana stand was filled to overflowing, and | the grounds surrounding the track were crowded with people. The professionals came out for their first exnibition in a two-thirds mile open, ran in iwo heats and a final. The first heat bade fair to be rather siow at the start, Jones, Downing ‘and McCrea, the contestants, not seeming to care to en- liven it up much, but McCrea suddenly shot out asif to "‘steal a march.” Jones and Downing were hot after him, and in a close finish Downing won, with McCrea | second. Jones did not ride well, and in justifica- tion it should be said that his trank con- taining bis racing wheels and suits did not make connections with the boat, and he arrived here sans wheel, 'sans | suit and everything else. He bor- rowed a wheel, but being unac- cu-tomed to it was at a decided disad- vantage. The Bay City Wheelmen kindly supplied him with oneof their old gold and crimson team racing-suits, with a big Maltese cross emblem on it, and the | Oiympic Club Wheeimen, to which club | Jones belongs, atmost had heart failure | when be first came ‘out, and until the sit- uation was explained to them. feet of timber standing along the illa- guamish River, in Snohomish and Skagit counties. About 20,000,000 feet will be cut annually. Eighty men are at work buiding a_seven-mile logeing railroad from Port Susan on the Sound into the heart of the timber. The magnitude of the work to be done is indicated by the arrival here oi a log- ging transportation outfit, consisting of a b:g locomotive, twenty-six cars and log- ging trucks and four miles of steel rails. They come from Ainslie, Wash., for tran- shipment by water to Port Susan, where the logs will be unloaded into-the water. | This outfit hus been purchased by Cobb & Ciszon, sub-contractors under Mr. Kerry. —_——— To Light Siam’s Capital TACOMA, Wasm, May 3L—Oriental | advices received here state that through the Japanese War Department L.

Governor Budd was informed of the tion of the directors by telephone, and pproved of it. He immediately notified 7arden Hale that he would do all in his ower to assist the directors, and promul- sted an order to the effect that all prison- s who retused to go to work at once or | ded or abetted any further resistance ‘ou!d be denied a restoration of citizen- 2ip on their discharge. The Governor's |der was sweeping in its nature, as it was | irected against even all sympathizers ith the revolt, and contemplates the 1ull cient of the power of the executive for | 1ch an occasion. Immediately after the directors con- uded their delit erations the following no- ce was posied in the courtyard of the tison: NOTICE.

Seventy of the men in the tanks tpituleted this evening, and were allowea ) return to their old quarters. From a )mmon-sense standpoint, aside from the rath that wili now fall upon them, the ftitude of the remainder of the convicts ould appear ridiculous. They may be ile to sustain themselves on bread and ater and thrive on the sunless atmos- here of the tank cells for weeks, but in ie end it would seem that they must ipitulate with disadvantage. But right here a factor enters into the tuation tnat ought to have no piace in tnal institutions. A sort of shuffle- sard politics reaches out of the rear way )ihe prison. Men have come to San uentin and retained their pull after don- ing the siripes. Some of the miscreants hodemolished the dungeons on Satur- Ay have iriends outside, to whom they bk for assistance, and the: strange irt of all is that in the past these |riends’’ have been equal to the task of ferting some mysterious influence in be- U of a recalcitrant felon.

Shortly afterward the nozzle of the big | hose was inserted through the grating and a full head of water turned on. Some sixty of the tank cells were treated in this manner. The effect was magical. The occupants, after being drenched from head to foot, became dumb. The force of example was contagious, and at 9 o’clock the dropping of a pin could be heard in the courtyard of the prison.

Mr. Dunlap’s oration was an eloguent tribute to the heroes of the war, living and | : | t0 a patriotic and beautiful tribute to the dead. He said: Ladies and_gentlemen, soldiers and veterans: The most sacred thing in all this world is erty—liberty of life, liberty of thought, liberty of action. When the immor1al of thix most splendid political structure ever conceived by the brain of man, wrote, in the most importaut | document ever penned, those deathless word “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they gave inspiration to a sentiment and es- tablished a truth, the force and power of which at once wrung the scepter from a King | of the Republic; Edw: and became the tundamental principle of the | greatest Nation of {frecmen the world has ever seen. This loyal love of liberty, the holy patrimouy of our fathers, is the moving powei which brings us to-day around tne graves of | all our mariyred dead, where we may pledge ourselves anew 10 guard and keep this gener. ous legacy of freedum.which their lives and blood 50 dearly bought. To-day & picture of the past comes before us | | like a dream. Again we stand upon the threshold of mighty conflicts; we see many assemblages of cit.: s and statesmen; we hear the impassioned words of orators appeal- ing to the patriotism and coursge of thou- sands of braye men, whose dust now slumbers beneath the soil on which they fougnt to make forever free; we hear ageiu the bugles wila and warlike cry; we watch them all when they part from those they love—we hear tne piteous cries of mingled anguish and joy wrufg from the breastsof mothers, sisterc, sweethearts; we hear the cannons’ thunder roar; we see a thousand bayonets glistening above contending columns. The clouds of war have settled once again on Bunker HIil!, and sli the air is pregnant with the awful sound of battie. The vision widens, and we see farther down the panorama of our country’s battiefields the wave-washed wails of Sum- ter, rocked and rent with shot and shell. In the shadow of the Nation's capitol stood the Nation’s greatest pairiot. We are with him once more in all the fierceness of that fright- ful struggle; we see his bowed form beuding beneaih the mighty losa. Sympathy, sorrow and duty are alike the burden of his swormy life. Again the cannon peals; we hear the stately tread of marshaled men’in biue and gray— the union of the greatest nation that time ha ever known now trembles 1n the balance. Again we stand amid the hungry whiriwind of nlong and bloody strife. History, old or new, has no record such as this wild and fear- some war has painted. Human speech has no ianguage to poriray the depth of suffering or | the breadth of sorrow which the furies of {his fearful conflict wrought. Again the vision widens and we see emid all the storm aud_cloud of war one deter- mined, silent man, bronzed and battle scarred, but resolute ‘as desuny fisell. He is the hero above them all, ‘whose genius, resistiess as the rolling tide, brought viciory outof chaos, With the last iong peal of mus. ketry the shackles fall from millions of homan forms.

Over the mounds which mark thy heir sense of honor and candor, and T be guided by their example of loyal patriotism, and let us stand as they have stood—beneath the hoiiest flag that ever waved upon the breeze, the freeborn peers of all the princely blood of earth.

Since that time I have doctored considerably in order to get relief from the results of the grip. can candidly say I have obtained no real help until I began takirg the Flectro- Medical treatment. I can now sleep and eat. [ feel hungry now as I did not b ease, and my cough is gone. am, in fact, cured, and place it all to the credit of the Electro-medical treat- ment. Especially is th.s happy result re- markable, as T am now past 70 years of age, and could hardly have expected to Tegain mv health and strength so readily.” | Signed May 29, 1597, MARY STEVENS. This is but one of the many remarkable cures made at the State Electro-Medical Institute during the past week. The curing of disease by the Electro-Medical treatment, which, by the way, cannot be is on every wrapper _of CASTOKIA. had st any other place then at the above Institute, is bevond the comprehension of the local doctors. Many of them bave visited the Institute to solve what seemed to them a mystery. i A WOMAN SAVED. A SEVENTY-YEAR-OLD WOMAN STRICKEN WITH THE GRIP. ‘Mrs. Mary Stevens Tells a Story of Suffer- ing and How She Was Cured. The people, too, are interested in the work of the State Electro-Medical Insti. tute, because it means that henceforth the burdens of heavy doctors’ fees with maximum of charge and minimum of benefit have been lifted from theix shoulders. They are interested because the Electro= Medical trestment gives new li‘e to worn- out bodies, new elasticity to lagging steps, new activity and life to paralyzed mus- cles, new rest to sensitive and upset nerves. That is exactly what the State Electro- Medical Institute is doing for the sick of this Coast. Is it any wonder that the Institute is thronged from early mormng until late at night ?
