THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1897. HELPING HAND FOR WORDEN Mass-Meeting of Sympa- thizers at 0dd Fellows’ Hall. A R U. Speakers Declare That the Condemned Man Is Innoc:nt. When the Wreck Occurred Worden Was in a Drunken Stupor at Sacramento. Muslin stretched across the sidewalk | last evening in front of the Seventh-street entrance to Odd Fellows' Hall bore this inscription: **Mass-meeting of citizens to protest against the legal murder of Wor- den, at this hall, Thursday, June 3, at 8 o’clock.”’ When the meeting was called to order by J. W. Rose shortly after 8 o’clock 1000 people, some forty or fifty of whom were ladies, were seated. Two policemen at the door iooked on. Mr. Rose, in the course of his prelim- ry remarks, spoke of the interviews which bad been held with Governor Budd by representatives of labor unions. He | said that men had b een acquitted of com- plicity in train-wrecking on_ the same ground that Worden was convicted, yet it was presumed that the Governor thought that Worden was guilty. The speaker further said : *I tell you, standing here as an honest man, that Worden 1s innocent. [Ap- plause.] This poor man, addicted to lhquor, was a tool. The raiiroad influ- ences kept the poor tool plied with liguor and extorted confessiops from him. When we sent our lawyer to see Worden last Monday the man sentenced to be haneed 10-morrow said he had never made a con- is sober senses. ilroad detectives and hirelings gave bim whisky by the:gallon. There was a motive for fastening on some one the crime of train-wrecking, for if tne corporation could not prove that the train was wrecked it_would be responsible for The Southern | vast damages. We are in position now to prove that rden innocent. We n prove that Worden was in Sacramento intoxicated and asleep when the wreck occurred. Here is tne I that put him toled, that man xit- ting there with a red necktie. “To-morrow morning at 6 o’clock a com- | mittee will meet United States Marshal 3aldwin at the Occidental Hotel and send ramento teli toWarden Aull not the man Worden. [Great ap- Wo Porden will bang Worden will not hang at ail. if they do Lang him you people in take notice that the & ea fancy to bang rn Pac.fic may | and ao X e of yo | Craig was the next spesker. He | Perhaps some of you peaple here went 0 Sacremento during the A. R. | U. strike. Some of you may navs be- Jonged to the State militia that was or- | dered out at the behests of the railroad | ion to terrify ouar wives and chil- | ; but I tell you that Wordea was a physical wreek from the day the strike commenced until the day of his| death sentence. 1 did put Worden | to bed at heaaquarters on Second | and J streets, Sacramento, the day tne | train was wrecked. He was then in a veastly state of intoxication. 1 know | from my own personal knowledge that Worden is innocent, and my wife, who is as honest a women as ever lived, knows that he is innocent, as she saw me put bim to bed. She saw me take him from Hotel Fremont and lock him up. We will acquit. Worden on a trial in the Fed- eral court. The last few days in our struggle to help Woraen we bave been nounded from pillar to post by railroad detectives,” Mr, Rose, the presiding officer of the meeting, asked contributions of money in aid of the cause in which the promoters of the meeting were engaged. He sai the question involved was: **Can corpora- tions take an innoceat man and hang him?? Harry A. Knox was the next speaker introduced. He spoke of the interviews which had been had with Governor Budd. He said the case with his mind made up that Worden was guilty. I know,” continued he, *'that Worden is innocent and I will help to save his life if it takes from my family | the last crust of bread and causes | me to lose my last job. I know absolutely from my own personal knowl- edge that Worden was in Sacramento drunk when the train that was wrecked left that city. He was in Sacramento drunk when the wreck occurred. The A. R. U. had nothing whatever to do with the wreck.”” The following resolutions were intro- duced and adopted : WHEREAS, 8. D. Worden has not had a falr and impartial trial in the Superior Court for various pe asons of an iilegal and u.table and should in ali fairness candor have been tried in the United States Distric; Court, Resolved, That we call upon the Supreme Court of the United States to grant a sufficient stay of proc case and secure s tne Fede: be estab) o enab.e us to preseat our for the said Worden in ) the end that justice may sbed in the premises. Before the meeting closed other resolu- tions as follows were read by W. M. Willey and adopted by the audience: WHEREAS, In the j nentof this meeting, after an exhaustive héuring of the evidence in his case, Salter D. Worden, now under sen- tence of death for aileged complicity in the well-known wrecking of a train during the A. R U. strike of 1893, causing the death of several personx, is innocent of the crime fastened upom him by perjured evidence, secured at the instance of the railrosd corporations inter- ested in his conviction; and whereas, experi- ence has taught us that the great railroad interesis of this country have no scruples of conscience as to the length they shail go in defending their interests, even though the Jives of innocent pers)is may be involved; and whereas, it hes been time ana age proven that those corporations will dest iheir own property, imperiling the \ives of in- nocent people, if the end to be gained requires such a & sacrifice; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the citizens of San Fran- cisco, bereby solemnly deciare our faith in salier D. Worden’s innocence end vigorously | protest against his murder by processes of inw significant.y iu the interest of railroad corpor- etions and prodigal of tne lives of our feilow citizens that corporate wealtn and power may onserved and the common people subdued, terrorized and ensluved. Afier_the udovtion of the resolutions Editor M. W. Wilkins addressed the meet- Simowpeticiog for uearly an hour. He said that he never knew a strike of any great magnitude that was not based on justice. He declared that corporations Uestroyed their own property and perpe- trated all sorts of ou 'rages when the ends demanded such destruction. He claimed that Carter Harrison of Cnicago was mur- dered at the instigation of capital. Just before the meeting dissolved the chairman read this dispatch: SAN RAFAEL, June 3, 1897. George J. Crossby, Enginecr Spreckels Building, 927 Market street, San Francisco: Bonds ap- proved. Citation issued. Worden all rigut. Good night. GEORGE W. MONTEITH.

Stone, San Francises, Cal.—MY DrAR S1R: Your letter of April 29 came duly. Our State Legislature has already passed « bill making Lincoln’s birthday a holiday, and ur- doubtedly many other States will do the same. 1 think the teechers in all schools should arrange lessons upon men, and women as well, who bave done work to help the world on to higher and better ground. Quite a number of the teachers in our city schools set apart the birthdays of persous who have thus distin- guished themselves, and have tne children read up, bring to school and recite something which they have said or written,or write and read sketches of their lives. Of course, it the really great meu and women who have served the countrs; butall can, in the way [ have indicated, teach children that those great people lived and what they d:d for the world. I see by your closing paragraph ihat your aim has been to have some discussion {n all the schools on Friday, the 28th inst., on the War of the Rebelllon, by securing .veterans to talk to the children. I wish I had passed your letier over to one of our teachers earlier; but I will now see that it gets into the hands of oue of them, who will, I am sure, bring the matter 10 the notice of ail on tbeir regular Saturdsy meeting, and they will doubtless help you siong in your work to the best of their ability. I think the best monument possibie for Lincoln, or any grest man or woman, is the establishment of a school for manual training, or some other purpose, for the children of the poor. Still, if you can get money enough, it is perhaps all right to have the marble shaft as well; but, aiter all, education is the great need of our day.

The Ceremony Performed on tke Teg Vigiant Three Miles Out at Sea. The Bride's Grandparents Obj cted to the Marriage, but This Was Not Considered. The romance of being wedded out on the dizzy ocean, away from grandparental frowns and scolding, is a joy never to be forrotten in the opinion of R. L. Duncan and his young wife. Mrs. Duncan yester- day morning was Miss Irene Wood. Duncan and Miss Wood resided in Capay Valley, near Woodland, and wished to be made man and wife, but the young lady’s grandparents, with whom she resided, objected. In another month the voung woman will be 18 years of age, buta monthis a year to hearts that are fond | when they are separated, and with tears and proiestations the young woman pleaded her grandparents’ consent. They were adamant, however, and the tears went for naught. Mr. Duncan had read that outon the ocean a sailor could tie a marriage knot lirm as any minister of the Gospel, even hough the bride had not passed the years of youth. There was a consultation in Capay Vailey, and yesterday morning the g Vigilant steamed out through the Golden Gate Mr. Duncan and the girl, now | his wife, seated on her deck. The voung couple were anxious to be | joined ‘by a minister if one could be lo- cated willing 10 perforta the ceremony, and after quita aplea Rev. J. Rowell the Mariners’ Church consented to unite the couple in marriage. When out three miles the Vigilant's buzzing engines were stopped, and as the trim vessel rocked idly on the ocean the ceremony was performed. The Vigilant then turned her prow homeward, and the happy hus- band and his happy bride in & short time slipped from the vessel's deck onto Fol- som-street wharf. To-day the young man and his wife will | return to Capay Valley and beg a blessing from Mrs, Duncan’s grandparenis, but if it is not forthcoming they care not, as | they are now lawiul mon and wife. | POLICE COMPLIMENTED, | Yorke, “never was suen HONORED IRELANDS GREATEST MAN Commemoration of Death of Daniel 0'Connell. the Father Yorke Speaks of the Dea!

The fiftieth anniversary of the death of Daniel O’Connell, the Liberator of Ir: land, was celebrated at Metropolitan Tem- ple last evening under the auspices of Company A, League of the Cruss Cadets, the great hall being fillel to itsutmo-t capacity with loyal Irish residents of this City of both sexes. | The decorations were of the handsomest | ciaracter, tne American colors being | everywhere in evidence. Over the plat- | form, on which sit the cadets under the care of Colonel William P. Sullivan Jr. and Captain Frank S, Drady, hung a huge flag caught up in tha center so as to form | a canopy over the speakers. | Along the front of the gallery was a line | of palms and ferns, and in conspicuous | places were shields bearing the emblem | ofthe cadets—crossed cannon surmounted | by a red cross. | The .xercises opened with an organ prelude by Professor R.J. Harrison, ihat | wa« well received, and then Hon. E. W. McKinsiry in a short address told the object of the gathering, calling attention | to the noble character ofg 0'Connell and | the great services he had rendered to the cause of the Irish people, characterizing | him as the benefactor and almost liberator i of Ireland. The glee club of Company A of the cadets sang “The Anvil Chorus’’ with great effect, and received a hearty en- core. A tenor solo, “The Harp That Once Thro’ Tara’s Halls,” was sung by D. Man- lloyd, and then Father Yorke was intro- duced. His theme was: * Bursting a ation’s Bonds.” Since the time of Moses,” said Father ight seen as when 1i 0 the rescue and God sent Daniel O'Conne | emancipation of the Irish people. “In this Iand of liberty, where religious freednm is the foundation of the Constitution, it Is fitting that we should meet on this the filtieth anniversary of the great patriot’s death.” After briefly reviewing the history of Impressions of Superintendent Hinde of the Pinkerton Agency. | Captain Wittman yesterday received the | following letter from F. Hind, superin- | tendent of Pinkerton’sagency in this City: I want to compliment you and the officers of | your command on the admirable showing made by them on May 31.

IHe left here March 7 last to visit the correspond- ent of the house in Sydney, N. 8. W. Be- fore his departure he did not intimate to any of his friends that the firm was in | deep water, and it was general y under- | stood that he was going on a purely busi- ness trip. While Williams was away the crash came. At that time it was thought he | was in Sydney to secure an adjustment with Falk & Co., the Australian agents of the firm. ‘Inis is denied by Mr. Williams. “I had no expectation when I sailed that it would be necessary to suspend the | business of the firm,” he said this morn- ing. I believed my affairs were in good | condition, and_it was with the zreatest surprise that 1 received the newsof my failure. On receipt of the news I took .he tirst steamer for thi« City, and now that I am here I will endeavor to straighten out matters. I have formedno rlan of action. What action I may take wili depend en: tirely upon the demands of my creditors.” | The liabilities of the firm are $500,000, and Mr. Williams will try and come to some undersianding with his creditors to- | day. —_——— J.

Last evening he was re. the Irish race up to 1707, to show that the laws had been made so oppressive by King William asto drive the Irish peo- ple to desperation, he called attention to the opportunity given 1o O'Connell 1o unite his countrymen. Those who m:de the penal laws that op- pressed the Irish Catholics, he character- zed as enemies, not only of Catnolics themselves, but of mankind. Then he re- sumed : But we need not go to England or those days to find narrow-minded bigots who would oppress all those from whom they cannot re- ceive benefii. There are the same kind in this country, even in this State. An_Atiorney-General recently went from this City who was of this ik, a Judge whom noone even accused of being & lawyer. Iam sorry he went from Californis, because we are Calilorniaus. The Government provides a handsome place of worship at West Point, but it is provided lor only one religion—that of the Protestants. Toe Catholies who attead llhexe are compelled 1o worshipin a hut—s cowshed. Some time ago a liberal-minded preacher thought that the Catholics should bave a bet- ter place of worship and raised $20,000, which he offered to the Government to build a Catholic chapel where they mightattend services, fittingly and in comfort. Then 'this great and good McKenns, who was aupposed tobe & Catnolic, wrote an opin- fon that such & proceeding would be illegal. He would allow tnose of his own blood to worship in a hove!

Young man, is this your condition? Then why don’t you listen to the voices of thousands who have been cured?
