THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1897. (R VIO AND TS HEN Preliminary Examination on Another Charge of Embezzlement. | Aikens Swore That He Never| Received His Salary for | May, 1897, Dillard Repeated His Testimony of the Day Before as to the Forgeries. The preliminary examination of In- | ternal Revenue Collector O. M. Welburn on the second charge of embezzlement was beld before United States Commis- sioner Heacock yesterday morning. The charge was that he had embezzled a por tion of the salary of E. C. Aikens for May, 1897, amounting to §87 20. Just before Mr. Welburn entered the courtroom he was approached by a Dep- uty Unitea Etates Marshal and asked | work. terday morning Mrs. Conlan ordered the man 10 cense work. Denver refused, and he alleges | Mrs. Conlan flourished & revoiver in his face and threatened to shoot him unless he stopped Denver did so and went to Judge Low’s court and swore out the warrant tor Mrs. Con- ian’s arrest. e oo A CAPABLE OFFIOIAL, J. L. Meares Complimented by Chris- tian Endeavor Convention Manager: J. L. Meares, superintendent of City de- livery of the Postoffice depariment, had made ample prevision for the rush of mail mattar caused by the big convention of the Christian Endeavorers, and ho was so well prepared for it that not a single com- plaint was heard. A branch postoffice was opened in the | Mechanics’ Pavilion, in charge of a mem- ber of the force and several substitutes from the general office. All the mail ad- dressed to Christian Endeavorers as such was sorted on the trains and sent to the Mechanies’ Pavilion. During the convention the searchers and active workers were overworked, their | labors extending up to 7 and 8 o’clock in the evening. Amid all the disappoint- ment suffered by the Endeavorers in the | way of delayed baggage, etc., they had one thing to console them and make them giad, and that was that they got their let- ters and newspapers promptly. In recognition of Mr. Meares’ masterly commsnd of the City delivery the follow- ing official testimonial has been forwarded to him: T. L. Meares, Superintendent City Delivery Postoffice Department, San Francisco—DEAR St { of the committee of '07 having On Leha harge the arrangements for the sixteenth in- p1ational Christian Endeavor convention, it us to most heartily commend your de- sent of the postoffice service for ihe most efficient efforts in our behalf at Mechanics Pavilion. We ere assured by those who have attended other conventions and have observed their workings that the postoffice in connec- tion with this convention was far better ma 1 and more eflicient in every way than an pe partm HUST EXPLAIN THEIR TAX BILLS Supervisors Cite Corpora- tions to Appear and Show Cause. the Hearing of the Rep- resentatives, Assessments of a Number of Small | Property-Owners Reduced by }t the Board, Supervisor Clinton stated to the board, sitting as equalizers of assessments, yes- terday, that he had reason to believe that a large number of tirms and corporations | of this City had failed to comply with the |law in making up their stalements of property for the Assessor, and stated that i he would like to havea large number of them cited to appear and show cause why they should not be raised. He offered a resolution containing the following list: vious effort in this direction. American Biscuit Company, Alfred Borel & whether he was armed. For reply the " jrystine that the experience of the men in | Co., Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, Montague & Collector lifted his coattails and showed | charge of the office gave them cause for as | Co., Daniel Meyer, O’Connor, Moffait & Co.; Scene in United States Commi: Gavin McNad. Collector We that he had no arms in the hip pocke! where the American from the South | ally earries his arsenal. { District Attorney Foote and his as-| sistant, Bert Schlesinger, represented | the Government, while Gavin McNab ap- peared for the Collector. The first witness was E. C. Aikens, the | dummy whose salary wasdrawn, and a portion of which was alleged to have been | appropriated by Welburn. Mr. Aikensisa | youug, smooth-shaven man who drew $25 per month for the nominal services per- | formed by him, while the Government was paying $1000 per year to somebody | for the same. He displayed some nerv- ousness on the stand while testifying, but at was natural, considering the fact that he was taking part in a prosecution which might end in his late employer being sent | B, to the penitentiary. Special Agent Thrasher of the Treasury | Department, who was sent here from | Washington to investigate the affair of the Collector aiter the suicide of Cashier Norton, was present and was very much 1terested in the testimony. Mr. Welburn was pale, but more sell- 10-5essea than he was on the day before. e sat beside his attorney and listened intently to the statements of the wii- nesses. Mr. Aikens was asked by Mr. Schlessin- g:r whether he had received any salary for the month of May, 1897, and he re- piied that he had not. He had never seen or received any check or voucher for that month’s salary, and be had notauthorized any one to draw his salory or to sign the receipt for it. He had not sizned any re- ceipt, check or voucher for that month’s n response to questions by Mr. Mc- Nab Aikens said that he did not go to werk in the Collector’s dffice until about a year after he had been appointed. | ng that interval Captain Youngberg | had acied as the substitute for the wit- ness and had been authorized by Aikens to sign whatever papers he (Aikens) would be authorizea to sign. He thought it was “funny’ that he had never been asled tosign any vouchers. William H. Dillard, the messenger for the Collector, testified that he went to work in tue office in 1893. He was shown by Mr. Schiesinger the voucher for Aikans’ salary for May, 1897, and said that he kad forged Aikens’ name to the voucher by order of Collector Welburn. The wit- | ness did not begin signing receipts for | Aikens when Arkens’ name was placed on the payroll. He did not think that he sign=d the receipt for the first month that Afkens went on the roll. Hecollected the monay on all the checks that were signed by him and, with one exception, he gave the money to Mr. Welburn., The excep- tion was with reference to the proceeds of | one of the Aikens checks, which pro-| ceeds he gave to Deputy Louis Loupe. H Diliard said that it was the custom for | many of the employes to hypothecate | their salaries, Tue vouchers were filled t by Dillard and were indorsed by the clerks. Then the money was collected | v Welburn, who paid the broker and the | | | | | | | )a one occasion Dillard made out a voucher for Arthur L. Webb and indorsed it with Webb’s name at the requesi of Welturn, That was after Webb had died, but the money was due Webb, and Wel- b d it to Webh's widow, who was stratrix of the estate. s P. Burns, cashier of the United Btates sub-treasury in this City, was called as a witness to show that the Check in question bad been paid at the sub-treasury, This he did to the satisfac- tion of the court. s closed the testimony for the Gov- Threatened to Shoot, i1 Denver, who lives at 426 Cntr'o =wore to a complaint in Judge Low's resicrday charging Mrs. olary Conlan iz ts against life.

Wood, who asked that the | assessment _on the personal property of | the estate be reduced from $1.795,057 to $3498. The attorney gave as a reason for the request that the property consisted of money in bank in New York, already as- sessed there, and stocks and bonds not assessable. He also argued that if it is assessable half of it should be assessed to Mackay, | who is a resident of New York and who holds Lalf. | Deputy Assessor Herzer recommended | that the application be denied and a mo- tion to that effect was adopted. |* Reductjons on real estate improvements | were recommended and granted as fol- lows: Martha Clifford, University Mound Traet, fi:woo to $2500; Maria San Pedro, Taylor an ireenwich sireets, $7000 to $6000; Frederick | F.

To Whom It May Concern: 1 have' been sick for over a year, and have by several good physicians without hope of recovery been left to my fate, My pains ere unbearable. Iam & helpless crippie, so that I thougnt to seek relief by the gas route. My sister will attend to my funerat—Julia Rennert, 1109 Howard ! streel, ANTHONY A. FISCHER. Fischer wasfound dead in bed yesterday morning at hall-past 7 o'clock, .in his room, at 603 Eddy street. He had fastened a small rubber tube to a gas jet and placed the other end in his mouth. He wasa cabinet-maker by occupation, a native of Germany, aged 64 years. He worked as a panper distributor in the Postoffice from 1884 to 1890. The body was taken to the Morgue. AFTER THE ASSEMBLY. Presbyterian Ministers Discuss the Events of the Recent Meeting, It Seemed Not Up to the Expecta- tions of Several Who Were There. The Presbyterian Union elected the fol- lowing officers on Monday for the ensuing three months: Rev. E. H. Jenks, presi- dent; Rev. G. W. Lyons vice-president; Rey. Dr. Wood worth, secretary and treas- urer. The subject presented at the meeting was “Echoes From the General Assem- bly.” Eider Bostwick of Trinity Presby- terian Church expressed his appreciation of the excellent work done by that body. Dr. Brush of Oakland said the Pacific Coast men had been well recognized and made prominent at the assembly. He was not impressed, however, with the spiritual aspect of that body. He also said that the foreign missionary board was re- markably well represented and missionary work in general emphasized. Rey. 8. S. Palmer was impressed with the personnel of all present, among whom were General Harrison, John Wana- maker and Dr. Agnews. Rey. John Hull in speaking of Dr. Gray said he considered him a great politician, for it 'was he who helped Sheldon Jack- son to_the moderatorship of the assem- bly. Much of the spirit of young America was displayed, he said, but there was not the intense earnestness much needed— there was much that was light and frivo- lous. Dr. Minton said California was well rep- resented by Dr. Chapman. His opinion of the assembly was that it was good- natured and could be easily coaxed. The Pacific Coast men, he said, were not uni- fied in their interests. The. rope that bound them together was only of sand. Dr. Alexander said there was a pretense of pushing forward and a want of sincer- ity. Moderator Jackson, he said, was more of a United States Government of- ficer than a representative of the home missionary board. He made vearly trips to Alaska at the expense of Uncle Sam. There was a great deal of manipulating that was not at all creditable to the as- sembly. *Iremember the time,’’ hesaid, “when the assembly was a grave and re- spectable body of men. Now it is simpiy a mass-meeting, lacking in deliberation.” Mr. Brush then said: *“It has been said that a powerful machine operated ihe whole assembly, If that were so Dr. Gray was the machine that elected Jackson moderetor, for be commenced to work for him just eleven months before the assem- bly met.,” Mr. Brush also said that the Presbytery of Alaska hzd convened a year ago and elected some one to represent it at the General Assembly, but after receiv- ing a letter from Dr. Gray it bad rescinded its action and elected Jackson 1 his place. At the Congregationlists’ Monday meet- ing yesterday thers were some short ad- dresses by visiting clergymen. Rev. D. K. Noble of Norwalk, Conn., and Rey. Samuel Green of Seattle each made five- minute speeches. The principal address of the day was de- livered by Rev. Selah Merrill, LL.D., of Jerusalem. He spoke of the **Condition of Affairsin Jerusalem.” He saia that the size of the city and the number of Jews in it had been greatly exagcerated. The popula- tion was only 50,000, including 30,000 Jews. “So far as I can see,” he said, there is no hore of successfully colonizing Jerusalem with Jews. Those that are there already are so poor they have to be sustained by wealthy Jews outside, “For Palestine there is s future. Ger- many, Russia and ¥rance all want Syria, and one of them will get it. The coun- try, if pxoperl_v cuitivated, would be ex- tremely rich and productive, But at Jerusalem there is nothing. It is 2500 teet above the level of the sea, and isfar in- 1and. The railroad that runs there is bankrupt and has been ever siace it started. It never paid and never will.” After this address, resolutions of deep- est regret at the death of Rev. John Kim- bal, formerly editor of the Pacific, were drawn up. At the Metbodist Monday Club, Chap- lain Macomber presided.” There ware short addresses by Henry Pearce, W. W. Case, S. J. Carroll, A. Kummer, J. ). Ham- mond, E. R. Dille, Matt Hughes, Miss Eugenia St. John, J. N. Beard, W. Shinny, F. K. Bike and Dwight H. Robinson. At the suggestion of Rev. Dr. Bovard, resolutions congratulating the recent con- vention on its great success, were passed. After this the meeting adjourned for two weeks. Cathedral Coudeil, Y. M.

CINNABAR ORE ON THE HILL A Piece Rich in Quicksilver| Picked Up by a Little Boy. Russian Hill Furnishes a Rival Excitemeqt to the Klondyke, If the Ledge Is Found It Will Make the Lucky Finder a Very Wealthy Man, Somewbkere on the San Francisco pen- insula there are several rich ledcesof quicksilver ore, which if discovered would cause a mining excitement second to none except the Kiondyke fever. From time to time small pieces of float cinnabar have been picked up on various | parts of the peninsula, but the main ledge has never been found. Out on the hills near Sunnyside and along Twin Peaks, on Telegraph Hill 2nd on Russian Hill much of this float in small pieces has been found in the clay and sand. The latest discovery was made yester- day by little Chris Jones of 1221 Filbert street, the 11-year-old son of one of THE CavL's staff of compositors. He was play- ing with other boys of about the same age in a vacant lot on the southeast corner of Filbert and Larkin strests where there is | a high bank of clay. Here he picked upa smalil red stone intending to throw it at one of the other boys when his attention was attracted by the great weight of the stone. It seemed to be as heavy as a riece of | lead the same size and he examined it more closely. He was struck with ils beautiful deep crimson coior, and woen he fourd that on rubbing it on his hand it imparted a bright blood color to the skin his curiosity was excited and he showed the stone to his father and askea him what it was. His father identified it as a piece of rich quicksiiver ore, and the lot was visited and examined for traces of a ledge, but there did not seem to be any- thing there on the surface but a deep yel- low clay with scattered fragments of slate | and soapstone. Itis believed that the ledge is not far away, and perhaps only a few feet under grou 1t may lie concealed below the | surfsce in the backyard of the residence of some noor day laborer, who, if he suc- | ceeds in finding it, will never sigh for the | ice-tound fields of the Clondvke. In Canten, China, they name the streetsafter the virtues, as here they aie named after persons. Thus there is a street_called Unblemished Rectitude, a | Pure Pearl street, a street of Benevolence | and another of Love. NEW TO-DAY.
