S THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1897. INJUR A STAT INDUSTRY Remarkable Message Re- garding Labor in the Beetfields. FLATLY CONTRADICTED BY FACTS. Assertion That Oaly Japanese Are Benefited by the Cali- fornia Enterprise, A. B SPRECKELS NAILS THE POLITICAL LIE. He Dcclares Positively That g5 Per Cent of the Work of Cultivation Is Performed by Americans. Armstrong, the Hawaiian Labor Commissioner, now in Washington, wired yesterday this message to Labor Commis- sioner Fitzgerald of California: the number of Japanese and Chinese employed in beet-sugar industry in California. To the forezoing dispatch Labor Com- missioner Fitzgerald sent the following reply: Practically all large beetfields worked by Japanese. 3 are arrlving to meet de- ased cultivation. U le benefit 10 American lnborers. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald said he had just received notice from Watsonville that fifty Japanese arrived there Saturday and that they had not been in the State more than three days before their arrival there. He said the Japanese were con- tracting to clean beets for $1 a ton and that American laborers would be forced to come to tha: f re. “They underbid white labor on piece work,” szid the Commissioner, “‘and they will wait for their money until the crop is harvested. One thousand Japanese huve been employed for some time at Chino and 100 more left here for that place last Sunday. The Japanese work under the contract system ana the employer does | not deal with the men individually, but all transactions ar agents or contractors.”’ The statement telegraphed to Washing. ton by State Labor Commissioner Fitz gerald is flativ contradicted by A. B. Spreckels. When a copy of the dispatch was read to him Mr. Spreckels said: “The statement is not true. on the payroll of the Watsonville factory. The asseriion that the beet-sugar indusiry ttie benefit to American laborers 1s 3 Japanese are worked in the field by the beet-growers, but 95 per cent of the labor of beet-raising at Wat- sonville is done by American laborers. Of course, the factory does not produce the beets, but contracts simply to pay $4 a ton for the beets delivered.” The iabor is chiefly performed by the farmers, who employ men and boys to cultivate the ficlds. The statement is not true that con- tracts to clean beets for $1 a ton have been made with Japanese. Mr. Spreckls expressed surprise that Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, a State officer recelying a salary from the State to promote the interests of American labor, should telegraph such misieading state- ments to Washington. [t seems that the Hawaiians now in Washington are making a great effort to perpetuate the reciprocity treaty between the United States and the republic of | Hawail. In getting the Labor Comm sioner of California to wire that American labor is not beneiited by the beet-sugar | industry they hope to be able to convince Congress that the abrogation of tue treaty would not benefit Amierican Iaborers em- ployed in California. Itis probable that the farmers in the regions of Castroville, Watsonville and Balinas will advise Senator Perkins that | the beet-sugar indusiry is of great advan- iage to American iabor. GAE 0P AL HE A Gay Young Blood Who Failed | to Pay for His Freanch Dinners, . Summoned Into Court He Turns Over to the Ste:iff His Pocket Pieces, F. Loaizs, son of a wealthy coffee-planter of Central America, and himself a young blood of this City, was called before Jus- tice of the Peace Groeznger yesterday on an order of examination. Loaiza had been sued for §71 10 upon a bil! which he contracted at the Maison Tortoni. He confessed that Le owed the money; that he had visited the place with friends, male and female, and had eaten and drank and | slept there—but he had no money and | could not pay the bill. He was ask+d if he had no money at all about him. He felt tnrough his pockets and counted out on the Judge's desk $3 10—every cent he had, he said. The money was turned over to the Sheriff, “But do I have to walk home? the disgusted prodigal. I guess you will,” said the attorney. But bhe did not. He borrowed a half from a friend who was waiting In the cor- ridor. It is said proceedings will be taken to recover the balance of $68 from the young man’s father. ———— OAUGHT IN THE BELT. The Unpleasant Experience of Frank Kevaney in a Factory. Frank Kevaney, employed at Schrock & Co.’s factory, at Sevanteenth and Folsom streets, had a narrow escape from death yesterday afternoon. He climbed up a ladder to oil the shaft that drives the machinery. While doing %0 the Iadder slipped and Kevaney was thrown against a belt and caught. He was whirled to the roof and would have been dashed to pieces had his clothing Dot given way. He fell to the floor and escaped with seversl severe braises. He was taken to his home in a hack, and will be able to attend to his work in a. few days. id ———— Suits for Divorce. Divorce suits were filed es follows yesterday: Clara F.

Frequent Doses of Innumerable Medicines for the Late Senator Fair. A Probability That Counsel for the Estets Will To-Day Cose Their Side of the Great C-se. Valet Herbert Clarke, who, however, de- Dominates the position he held while in Senator Fair's employ as tbat of “a gentleman’s gentleman”—Clarke, the man of marvelous memory—returned to the witness-stand in the ¥air-Craven trial yesterday for a few brief moments. Dur- ing uis career there, nevertheless, he in- jectea avout all tuere was having a sem- blance of life and ginger that developed during the entire day’s proceedings. It was the first real awakening since Experts Amesand Gumpel went through the tor- tures of their cross-examination. The foundation having been laid by the attorneys for the Fairestate execators for the introduotion of evidence intended to show that Senator Fair did not go to No- tary Cooney’s office and acknowledge the disputed Craven deeds on September 27, 1894, Clarke was recalled for the purpose of relating how it was that the Senator could not have eluded his chful eye on that momentous day, and did not. Clarke, with his wonderful memory was bandily equal to the occasion. Why, he could recollect even the slightes: moye made by the millionaire on that Septem- ber day and could without difficulty fol low his meanderings into the night. While giving his direct testimony, guided by the dulcet queries of Attorney Garret McEnerney he gave the exact time that Fair awoke at the Lick House that morn- ing, the moment he ate his breakfast, when he ambled down 10 his private office with his “gentleman” in his wake, the in- cidents of the two bours spent at the of- fice, lunch,a meeting of the bank di- rectors in the afternoon attended by the bours spent in reading to the man of money; then about supper; after that a stroll up Market street and back and then to bed. All this in mostexact detail. The fact that the occurrences related, dole- folly common-place as they were, took place three years ago, dia in no manner leave them impressed in confusion on his phenomenal memory. At least he said such was the case. But when Clarke was taken in hand by Attorney Delmas for cross-examination he was forced to admit that he had some- what exaggerated the tale of his own ubiquity. Those two hours that the Sen- ator devoted to his private office and affairs in the morning constituted a stumbling block. Clarke wanted to be sure that the millionaire was within con- stant view, because the witness was in and out of the sacred chamber in order to give him his medicine. Of course—and this was told in an easy and confidential way —he was not dosing the Senator every fraction of a second making up the two hours, but he.wasat it pretty ofien. There were several kinds of medicines« to be ad- ministered, bromo seltzer being the first on the list. “How many times did youn give him Mr. Delmas. “Don’t remember,’” revlied Clarke. It was a disastrous confession for the man of memory to make and he blushed when he did it. e methods by which the medi | cine was given. Clarke said he didn’t understand. “I mean, as to whether you gave it to him in a bucket, a dipper or a spoon?” “Oh, spoon.” It developed a little later on that the first dose of medicine was given the Sena- tor that morning about haif an hour after he reached his office, and Clarke had to admit that during that half hour Fair office. He bad time enough to do it any- how. Then there was another lap<e in the afternoon, when Clarke left the Lick House to purchase more medicine, during which the Senator could have quite easily attended to his business with Cooney, so Ciarke confessed. The *-gentleman’s gentleman’ will have to undergo some more cross-examination when court convenes again this morning. This will not be the only interesting feat- ure promised for the session, for it is un- derstood that the plaintiffs will close their case before the day is over, and that the deferae will be given achance. Every- body has been on the tiptoe of expectancy for this, for there seems to be a feelinz that the defense’s opening will be inter- esting to say the least. Judge Siack opened yesterday morn- ing’s proceedings by announcing that he was prepared to give hisdelayed ruling on the admissibility into evidence of that all- important ‘“‘proofsheet” of the acknowl- edgment blanks printed by the Crocker Company in January, 1896. He said he had gone carefully over the evidence of the printers and proofreaders who bandled this paper, and was satisfied that they had sufliciently identified it to warrant 1ts admission. Mr. Delmas ventured that the court had misunderstood the import of the evidence referred to. He said that all of the wit- nesses had said that tbey thought the paper brought into court looked like the original proof, but could not swear that it was it. A long argument foi'owed, during which transcripts of the testimony were referred to repeatedly. The conclusion of it wa- a decision on the pari of the court to ad- here to the original ruling. The proof, therefore, became one of the many per. manent exhibits in the case. This matter being disvosed of Mr. Mc- Enerney, on behalf of the plaintiffs, re- called Attorney Hu Jones to the witness- stand and resumed the slow and uninter- esting process of having that gentleman identify innumerable notarial acknowl- edgments executed by J. J. Cooney in 1894, Charles Crocker, general manager of the H. S. Crocker Company, was placed on the witness-stand when “court met for the afternoon session and wasasked by Mr. Mc- Enerney if he had kept his promise to pro- duce in court the bound volumes contain- ing samples of legal blanks printed by his house. It was scarcely necessary to ask this question, becauve Mr. Crocker had a bundie of volumes under bis arm when he took the stand; but then Mr. McEnerney bad to begin somewhere with his queries and chose this as a convenient point. Mr. Crocker’s reappearance on_the stand was anything but sensational. He was willing to testify as to how those volumes came into existence, but when Mr. Delmas asked him if he conld speak from his own knowledge and he admitted that be could not he was sent back to his place of busi- ness. Edmund Marks, who on Monday testi- fied that the deed he produced in court with a Cooney acknowledgment affixed had been taken from him by Detective Seymour, was now called—also to fullfil a promise. He had agreed to bring into court the receipt Sevmour gave him and did so. It was Mr. Delmas’ object in ask- ing for the production of the receipt to Senator, the trip back to the hotel, and the | medicine during the two hours?”’ asked | said the attorney, “to inquire | might have gone over to Notary Cooney’s | have something on record showing the connection of the San Francisco Police Department with the plaintiff’s side of the case—to show that it had taken sides in a civil proceeding, Before leaving the stand Mr. Marks said he mude a mistake Monday when he testi- fied that he got that receipt last Novem- ber. He received it in January last. “Well, Mr. Marks, I don’t suppose you claim to be one of those fortunate in- dividuals who cap remember the exact date and hour of an occurrence two years -lgo. anyhow, do you?” said Mr. Delm: slyly. . 8ir,” replied the witness. Attorney Wheeler took exception to Mr. Deimas’ poke in the ribs and asked that it be labeled in the record as ‘“‘mis- conduct.” Mr. Delmas playfully remarked that he would repeat the statement in the event that it was not distinctly heard, but his offer was declined. A short recess was taken here in order that Messrs. McEneraey and Delma: might Lave an opportunity to confer. The Tesult of their talk was an agreement that the record should make it appear that R. A. Crothers, proprietor of the Bulietin, bad been in court and identified a copy of his paper of tie date of December 29, 1894. This issue contained the publication of the “trust’” will executed by Senator Fair. Judge Curtis of the defense objected to the introduction of the publication on the eround that 1t was intended merely to support an inference—a conjecture—to the effect that Mrs. Crav n had sufficient op- portunity to read the terms of the *‘trust’ will, and from that could have copied or caused to be copied those expressions in the “pencil’” witl, Messrs. McEnerney and Wheeler ar- gued that the evidence was admissible, but the court ruled against them and the pablication was rejected. It was at this point that Clarke was called, and he finished the day on the stand. . PREPARE TO CELEBRATE. The Finance Committee of the Eoard of Supervisors Selects the Fourth of July Committee.

Hankin & Co. of Shanghai in regard to the possible development of San Fran- cisco’s Oriental commerce was read: We find a splendid opening for California goods and general American manufactures in the far East, but people here are slow and it takes time 10 gain their confidence. We find there is an opening for goods among the bet- ter class of Chinese, provided they are put up under certain “chops” or marks. We find we | can compete with the foreign manufacturers. It is only necessary for our people in Califor- nia to send out the best grade of goods, lower their freights, their prices if possibie, and cater o the peculiarities of the Chinese and matives in other parts of the Orient, to o come the prejudice inst American goods | and considerably increase their market. | We find Shanghai to be the center—the New York, a5 it were, of the East—and business | here is booming, owing to the erection of sev. eral cotton and silk filature milis. In $04p and cheap eandles there is an enormous market, especialiy the latter, now controlled by Eug- lish; also in plece (cotton goods), cigarertes, | provisions, flour and other lines.
