THE N FRANCISCO CALLU WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1897 SR DIFFERENCE OF OPINION Twenty Changes Will Be Made by the School | Directors. CEMURE WiS NOT INTENDED. ‘ Principals Say the Meaning cf Their Words Was Mis- construed, WILL THE BOARD INVESTIGATE. The Responsibility of the Turmoil Will Be Shifted to the Shoulders of the Pedagogues. The time that the monkey and parrot had or the battle of the Kilkenny cats | were pleasant little diversions compared | with what will bappen 1 the rooms of | the Board of Edu ion during the next few week When the solid nine started to make wholesale changes to accommo- | date its friends, it little thought that the storm that has arisen would materialize, and it was not prepared for the roar of in- dignation that has gone up from all direc- tions. Now that the scheme has been exposed, there has been 8 scurry to hedge, aud in- | stead of carrving on the investigation themselves, the directors are prepared, to | use the language of one of their number, | to “allow the teachers to fizht it out among themselves."" | Fighting it out me ges and re- criminations of all k ad a merry lit- tle time all around, and thedirectors have decided to throw the responsibility off their own shoulders and onto those of the pedagogues. Several teachers who were reported as discipline or t the cipais have pre- | pared for a royal battle, because they say that the reports are the result of spite and that they are less to blame for anv lack of | order or atféntion than their superiors. Some have decided to appear with attor- neysto show that they have been m ~rl“p-; resented and will bring counter-charges against the principals. *The easiest way we can out of this | difficulty,” said Director Waller yester- | , “is to let the teachers fight it out among themselves and show where iney have been misrepresented if they can. “If there has been any spite work it will soon develop, and the board can be governed by what it learns while the in- TVestigation is going on. “In come instances there is certainly something peculiar about the way these reports read. %A short time ago a committee from this board visited a school where a certain teacher is employed and made inquiries as to her standin “We were given the most glowing ac- counts of her efficiency both as an in- siructor and disciplinarian, the principal seeming to take pleasure in recommend- ing her. ‘In the face of this she is reported as as a disciplinarian, and is not spoken of in one way or the other asen instructor. Reports from schools where she preyionsly taught are strongly 1u ber favor, and she as-well as ourselves want to know the reason of this sudden change of beart. She says she will bring an attorney to conduct her case. | ““At any rate sll who wish will be ac- coraed 2 hearing, and if teachers have been misrepresented tbey will be vindi- cated. *The plan of the board now is to make a large number of changes to harmonize the depariment. I have had tour appil- cations from teachers who fear that after what has been published they wiil not be on a pleasant footing with their superiors, Other directors have also had applicu- tions, and I think altogether that there will be about twenty transfers.” There app=ars to be quite a difference of opinion regarding the construction of sentences and the mezning of words in the English language among the edu- caters of the City. The reports of the principals of the various schools on the qualifications of the teachers under them has stirred uo considerable feeling, and those who hzye been censured have taken occasion to cail for “‘specifications.’” From the developments resulting from ihis action on tbe part of tie teachers it appears that the word ‘“‘fair” is not used asa criticism, but means “satisfactory.” Frank Morton, principal of the Lowell High School, yesterday expressed himself as deeply regretling the construction that had been put upon his report concerning J. L. Crittenden, which appeared as ““fair.”" Mr. Morton took occasion to place himself right in the matter to Mr. Crittenden in the presence of Mr. Lillie, and stated that when he reported him as ‘“fair” he in- tended that it should mean that his work was entirely satisfactory. He further specifically stated thal the work of Mr. Crittenden had always been in every way perfectly satisfactory, not only to himseli, but that it had been accepted by the uni- versity as such. He was sorry tnat a mis- construction had been piaced upon his re- port, and desired to have the matter made plain in order tnai no idea of incompe- tency on the partof Mr. Crittenden should ok&l’ain!amonu the peopl ' he following leiiers regarding the ¢ of Miss Julia A. Murphy are selEaSpIB:?: Alfred Lyser Esq—DEAR SIR: Wi 2 1y Iehmenow it s Julia uuquyya(:‘ skn“mlii factory 10 you as a teacher, g u.lL. Hzap, Director. . L. Head—DEAR SIR: In reply 2 the 26th inst., 1 will say that Miss Tl AT Murphy has never been, noris she now, unsatis. factory to me either as a disciplinariat or as & teacher. Very truly yours, ALBERT LYSER, principal, Captain A. J. Itsell, teacher of the ninth grade in the Hearst Grammar Schooi, on Waller street, believes that a great injus- tice has been done him. He is one ot those who appeared on the blacklist in tis uncomplimentary way: “Qualifica- tions as instructor unsatisfactory (see note); ability as a disciplinarian unsatis- factory; Hearst Grammar School.” In discussing these remarks Captain Itsell said: “I tnink that all of this is uncailed for and unnecessary. It may be that poli- tics have someihing to do with it, but I am of the opinion that the principal of the school had more to do in holding me up to disgrace than any one else.” He went on to say that about two months ago he was removed from the Washington Grammar School to the Heesrst Grammar and that the change was to believe that his services were not appre- clated. According to Captain Itsell’s statement, when he arrived at the Hearst School he found that the discipline was anything vut good. He was assigned to the ninth grade—the graduating class—where the bupils were almost men and women grown. The boys were particularly trou- blesome, and while large enough to be- have themselves they were still none 100 large to be made to toe the mark. In order to make the young men keep order, Captain Itsell said, he was obliged to administer corporal punish- ment on more than oneoccasion. This he did by striking them across the hands with a leatherstrap, kept in the school for that purpose. This was against the prin- ciples of Mrs. M. A. Wood, the principal, who declared that moral suasion was bet- ter than the strap. When be learned of the principal’s wisnes Cap'ain Itsell said that he submitted to her higher authority, although it went against the grain to do so. _Continuing he said: *Since then there has been more or less friction be- tween the principal and me on account of this corporal punishment matter. How- ever, I have always bowed to the higher suthority and sent all caxes for punish- ment to her as she desired.” Captain;Itsell went on to say that he believes ghat Mr«. Wood Lad much to do with the unpleasant position in which he is placed. It is necessary for the prin- cipals 6f the schools to send annual re- 15 (o the Superintendent as to the con- tin of their schools and the qaalifica- tions of the teachers und heircommand. He alwavs suppose ! that those reports were private, but in this instance he believes that Mrs. Woods’ report feil into other hands, and the fact that he insisted on making stubborn toys keep order had been used to his undoing. Captain Iisell derives his title from the fact that he held the position of captain in the late war, in which he served for three years. He has been a teacher in the School Department of this City for the past twenty-six years. Said he: *In that time the Board of Education should have found out whether or nov I was in- competent or a poor disciplinarian. Com- ing as this time as it does, I think that | this treatment is unnecessary and very unjust.” PIERCED HIS HEART Tragic Death of Fred Wul- bern While Cleaning His Rifle. Struck the Trigger With the Ramrod and Discharged the Gun. Fred H. Wulbern, 18 years old, was in- stantly killed last night while cleaning his Marlin rifle in the family residence, 1900 Filbert street. This is the third death in the Wulbern family within the last three years. His mother died from natural causes three | years ago, and his father was left with the care of a family of six children. The elder Wulbern was a deputy in the office of Assessor Siebe. He was troubied with heart disease, and one night after he had turned on tue gas in the bathroom he swooned and was asphyxiated. Young Wulbern went on a hunting vaca- tion recently and returned last Friday. At bali-past 5 o’clock last evening he proceeded to clean his rifle—a Marlin re- peater of 25-caliber. He fastened a rag to the end of the ramrod, and in order to prevent the rag from sticking in the breech he placed a cartridge there. Then he vroceeded 1o clean the outside of the parrel, and in deoing so the end of the rod struck the hammer and tbe trigger fell and discharged the weapon. The young man was siiting on a child’s rocking- chair, and the muzzle of the rifle wason a line with his heart, so that the bullet pierced the aorta and he sank to the floor a corpse. . The case was reported at the Morgue, and Deputy Coroner Hallet made an in- vestigation of the circumstances of the shooting. He reacbed the conclusion that it was purely accidental, and allowed the body to remain in the home of the de- ceased. Wauloern was recording secretary of Presidio Parlor No. 194. He was at the meeting of his parlor la: Monday night, when he received an en- thusiastic greeting from the brothers, and a vote of tharks was tendered him for his efforts on behalf of the organization. THE NEW ASSOCIATION, A Meeting of Amateur Athletes Will Be Held on Friday Evening, Some of the amateur athletes of this City who are opposed to the manner in which the Pacific Athletic Association conducts its affairs have called a special meeting of amateur athletes and clubs which are interested in amateur sports, for the purpose of forming, if vossible, a California Amateur Athletic Association, The meeting will convene at the Olym- pic Club on Friday evening next, and un- less something drastic is accomplished in the way of organization, tbe chances are tha: the project will drop out of sight, as the leaders of the scheme in prospect have concloded that unless the clubs will lend their support, it will be absurd to advance any further in the plan of organization. The representatives of the Pacific ad- visory bosrd do not hesitate to say that the proposed California Amateur Athletic Association wili never amount to any- thivg unless it has the sound advice and assisiance of the Amateur Aculetic Union, which i< the parent body of nearly all the large and prominent amateur athletic clubs’ot America. They also contend that the men who are at the head of the new movement to form a great Pacific Coast Athletic Asso- ciation of Amateur Clubs are quasi ama- teurs and Know comparatively noth- ing concerning the rules which govern amateur sports. Owing to the taint of professionalism which has pervaded this City for months several amateur boxers have become afflicted with the contagion. They are anxious for 1the opportunity to delye their paws into the golden sack, and nothing less than golden skekels will inauce some of them to box a four-round bout in an amateur club for the edification of club mem bers. Of course there are exceptions. but the bona-fide amateur boxer is fast becoming a rare bird in this City and it is with the object in view of teaching those amateurs who have a predilection for professional fame a sound lesson that the board of Rovernors of the P. A. A. imposed severe punishment on the renegades who had been found guilty of transgressing the amateur rule<. The board of governors has acted in good faith with the amateurs and, indeeq, it i through its strict rulings that the Olympic Club and other promi- pentamaleur ciubs have now whatever little amateur talent they possess. The true amateur atblete who stands aloof from any and all taint of professionalism cannot help but support the action of the not of hisseeking nor to his liking in the least. He had been under Principal T. B. ‘White for a long time aud had no reason governing board of the A. A. U.in its struggle to suppress professionalism on this coast, A NEPEY OF AIEY S FREE The Governor Has Par- ! doned Burglar Dave Smith, PRISON BOARD NOT COXSULTED. No Reason Offered for the Ar- bitrary Action of the Executive, ONE WAY OF SEALING A COMPACT. Smith Had Served but Three Years Out of Eight and Has a No- torious Record. There seems to be no limit to the friend- ship that has suddenly grown up between Governor Budd and Sam Rainey. The executive has gone so far in his efforts to vlease the boss as to pardon one of the most notorious burglars that ever was called upon to do time. Whats make the affair still more interesting 1s the fact that the released convict is a nephew of Rainey. Dave Smith is the man who has been restored to liberty. The order opening the doors of San Quentin for him was made late yesterday afternoon by the Governor in Sacramento, The action was an arbitrary one, and noreasons were ad- vanced by the executive. Moreover, it was taken without any consultation with the Board of Prison Directcrs, which in itself is a prodeeding so extraordinary as to excite comment at ary time. It is customary when a Governor takes it upon himself to pardon a convictto give elaborate reasons for his work. Oanly in cases of extreme emergency has this exumple been resorted to. What the dire cirenmstances are that called for £mith’s release at this time, when be has still five | years of an eight years’ sentence to serve, | is a secret that will probably remain be- | tween the Stockton statesman and the local boss of the Democracy. Smith was convicted in 1894 of burglary beiore Judge Belcher after a rather spirii- ed trial. Hiscrime was committed dur- ing the height of the gubernatorial cam- paign, his victim peing no less a person than M. M. Estee, the Republican candi- date opposing Budd. Estee was avsent on a stumping tour in the northern part of the State. His residence at 1001 Leav- enworth street was left in charge of the servants. Swith was not slow to lay his plans. In company with a confederate named Botkin he apveared suddenly before the | Estee mansion one afterncon during the ahsence of the housekeeper and, gaining | admittance by a passkey, proceeded to | ransack the place from top to bottom. | They even bad the effrontery to ring a telephone for an express wagon, into which they loaded the booty. Accumu- | lations of thirty years on the part of Estee disappeared. Heirlooms, mementos of all sorts, brica- brac gathered in many places, jewelry and piate were loaded into the wagon as so much freight in broad daylight. Among the articies taken were the emblems pre- sented to Estee as grand master of tne Masonic lodge at several cornerstone | ceremonies. Even the clothing of the members of the household was taken by the thieves. The booty was disposed of in pawn- broking shops for what it would bring, and it was through this avenue that the police gained the clew that ultimareiy re- sulted in the arrest of Smith and his com- panion. All ot Rainey’s influence was brought to benr to save his kinsman from the venitentiary, but in vain. The pris- oners were sentenced to San Quentin for eight years each after pleading guilty. Previous to bis conviction Smith had borne an urenviable recora. Through the influence of his uncle he had obtained a position as driver of engine 3, but his con- duct and predatory hab were 100 pro- nounced for the late Chie! Scannell, and he was discharged after a short period. Rainey next got him a position under Aa- sessor Holz, but he soon drifted back to his old habi His antecedents he carefully concealed, but it was known that he was the son of the notorious Maggie Smith, who gainea fame as a keeper of a Morton-street house. Atone time he kept a resort on Howard street, near Third, which in time became <0 notorious that the police reiused him a license. Governor Budd’s action is a surprise to his friends. Ithas been known for some time that he and Rainey had joined forces, but nobody supposed that he had 80 far fallen into the clutches of the boss as to pardon Dave Smitli. The prisoner’s friends have been confident for some days past that he would be released shortly, but the arbitrary action of the Governor in granting the pardon without consuit- ing the prison board has astounded even them. How Rainey will pay the debt of the re- lease of his notorious kinsman remains to be seen.- Budd has the iteh for office, and of course the Demoeratic boss may be re- lied upon now to throw his forces in favor of the man from Stockton. Interesting developments are looked for. The Prison Directors, it is reported, are about to rebel at this high riting over their heads. But possibly after all Rainey may be able to avoid such com plications. With the headquarters of the Democratic machine transierred to Sacramento Chair- man Alvord and his State Committee purists are preparing for a glacier. JOKED MR, AMBROSE, Stockton-Street } roperty-Owners Take Advantage of the Klondyke Ex- citoment, Some enterprising property-owners on Stockton street, between O'Farreil and Geary, having a grievance against the Su- perintendent of §treets, took advantage of the Klondyke excitement Jast nignt to make their woes known and created no end of amausement for a short time. The street on the block mentioned has been torn up for some time past and will be repaired when the Superiniendent gets ready to continue the work. Last night, when the theater - goers passed the corner of O'Farrell and Stock- ton, they saw a young man industriously di:¢ing in the sand, wbile a gang of urchins picked up ore and nuggets from all directions. About were signs reading about this way: Kiondyke nuggets have been tound. For claims apply to the Superintendent of Streets. This street will be paved in the sweet by and by.

WORK OF EDUCATION STARTED. First Gun Fired at the Palace Hotel Yesterday Aft- ernoon. CENTRAL COUNTIES ARE INTERESTED A Burean of Information to Be Es- tablished in the City of New York. “San Francisco, the summer convention City of the United States.” This is the slogan to be used in a cam- paign of education that is .10 be carried on by the California Hotel Association. The first gun in the great campaign was fired yesterday at a meeting held at the Palace Hotel. The primary object of the projectors of the new movement isto secure for San Francisco one or more of the political con- ventions of 1900, the National Encamp- | ment of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1899 and the Triennial Conclave of the Knights Templar in 1900. They have been encouraged to thisac- tion by the unqualified success which marked the Internetioral Christian En- deavor Convention from every point of view. The ultimate object is to educate the people of the East toan appreciaiion of the attractions and advantages California has as a place for homre-building for the industrious. | At the meeting of the California Hotel Association yesterday there were present the following memvers: S. F. Thorne, | president of the association, representing | the Grand Hotel; R. H. Warfield, vecre- | tary of the organization, representing the | California Hote. and the Hotel Rafael of San Raiael; J. C. Kirkpatrick of the Pal- ace, G. P. Sneil of tbe Hotel Vendome of San Jose, K. . Souie of the Lick House, Colonet J. ¥. Napa Sods Springs, and representing the Palace, the Coronado and the Del Monte. The vrincipal business transacted was the adoption of the following resolution: | Resolved, That this assogiation put itself in commuuication with the different boards of trade of ihe counties of Ceniral Caliiornia for the purpose of dsvising ways snd means to properly aivertise that portion of the State in the East,and to maintain a bureau of infor- mation in New York City. In furtherance of the object of this resolution G. W. Lynch was appointed a committee of one o take the matter in hand, and to visit the Boards of Trade or other representalive bodies in the coun- ties north of Tehachapi, with a view toward securing their co-operation. As soon as a sufficient number of in- terior counties have been interested in the work a meeting of the representatives of the various bodies will be called to con- There is no intention to say or do any- thing that will even appear to detract from the prestige of the southern portion of the State, but no effort will be spared to bring to the attention of the visitors to the State the merits of the centrai and northern parts of the commonwealth. It has Leen demonstrated in the past that Francisco visit any of the section lying in the vicinity, witn the exception of a few points, such as San Jose, Santa Cruz, Monterey and other towns that make up part of the regular tourist itinerary. Itis preposed to uring other sections of North- ern ana Central California into more prominence by inducing visitors to make trips to San Rafael and the points of in- terest in Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Lake ana Mendocino counties, and also the counties 10 the east of these, It is claimed that within a radius of fif- teen miles from San Francisco all the plants and fruits thatare grown in South- ern California can be seen, and in just as great perfection as south of the Tehachapi Pass. So far as the claims of San Franeisco to become the summer conveation city of the United States are concerned it 1s pointed out thay we have ample transpor- tation facilities and bhotel accommoda- tions, and that people receive better treatment at the hands of hotel proprie- tors than at any other city in the country during convention periods, as has been repeatedly demonstrated and generally acknowledged by visiters. PERJURY IS CHARGED, Charles K. Garey, Salesman, Arrested on the Complaint of His Di- vorced Wife Charles K. Garey, salesman in the Hub clothing-house, was arrested last night on a warrant charging him with perjary. The complaining witness is Mrs, Frances B. Garey, his divorced wife, who alleges that in making his affidavii on the com- plaint for divorce he made accusations that he knew to be false. Gazey says that he and his wife came here from Pittsburg, Pa., abourt eighteen mounths ago. Last January he took his wife back East to her mother because she was running around too much to please him, and told her that he wou!d send enough money to support her provided she remained there, which she promised to do. He went to New York and had just got asitustion there when she made her ap- pearance. He was so diszustea with ber at not keeping her promise that he came on to this City, and in April commenced the suit for divorce on grounds of inbu- man treatment and being constaatly in the company of other men. He obtained the divorce last month. All this time he did not know where his wife was and was surprised to find that she had returned to the City. ———————— JABEZ HOWE ILL.

I The WAR AMONG THE WRITING EXPERTS The Defense in the T. A. Figel Case Shows Its Hand. Dave Carvalho Says the Hoff- man Receipt Signature Is Genuine, Ex-Judge Louderback Claims to Be Backed Up by Gumpel and Kytka. Under the lash of adverse criticism the defense in the case of Theodore Figel, charged with embezzlement, gave the first intimation yesterday of the kind of battle they intend waging against the prosecu- tion. The latter so far have bent their efforts more to prove forgery than to clinch the embezzlement charge. Whether it is with the purpose of laying a foundation of a civil suit has not yet developed, but the fact remains that more attention is being paid to the $9500 receipt which Figel claims was given him by Isaac Hoffman and which the other side claims is a forgery than to numberless allezed em- bezzlements and even the ciaim that de- fendant committed murder. In an issue of one of the afternoon papers Monday a statement was made to the effect that the great Eastern experton handwriting, David N. Carvaluo, had been employed by the defense to examine the Hoffman receipt and that he had not been retained to testify, as he found that the signature was a forgery. Torefute this, ex-Judge Louderback yesterday pro- duced the following letter from the ex- vert, with the accompauying remark that Expert Kytka, who was paia for his services by the prosecution, was not called by them as a witness because he gave his opinion that Hoffman’s signature was genuine, and that the defense would put him on thestand to proveit. Here isCar- valho's letter: SAN FraNcisco, July 28, 1897. Hon. Davis Louderback—DEAR SIR: At your request I to-duy made a cureiul examination of the receipt dated May 18, 1897, for $9500, and signed *Isaac Hoffmav’ in juxtaposition with certuin standards of Mr. Hoffman’- genu- ine signature in the presence oi Judge Camp- bell. "I have toTeport to you as my opinion and judgm that the signature to said in- strument was signed by the same person who wrote the exemplars which were supmitted (o me, and it Mr. Hoffman wrole the exemplars Mr. Hoffman is the same person who signed said receipt “Isaac Hoffman ” Answering your request relative o my giving testimony in this case, I regret (o state tnat my howme e gagements are mandatory and I am compel:ed 10 leave for New York to-night, having com pleted arrangements so 10 do xome days ngo. Yours, respectiully, DAVID N. CARVALIO. So much for the first clash between the handwriting experts. Attorney Ach, when the court session began yesterday, called expert Peter Davis Horton, a writing teacher ot Oakland who spent thirty years in the study of chir- ography. He testified to having exam- ined the §9560 receint and to having com- pared the signsture thereon with the ac- cepted signatures of Isaac Hoffman. In his opinion the signature on the receipt was a forgery. He gave blackboara dem- onstrations showing the Hoffman charac- teristics in writing which he claimed he could not observe in the receipt submitted to him. In explaining himself the expert used a few words not generally heard 1n a police court, as Judge Campbell stated, some of them being: *Conoidal,’’ *‘heterogene- ous,” “‘rubric” and others, the strangeness causing a ripple of laughter. *‘Is there any cross-examination, Gen- eral?”’ asked the court of Attorney Barnes. “‘Let bim go, he's not through vet,’”” an- swered counsel. “You may laugh, gentlemen,” put in the witness, ‘'you may not understand what I'm talking about, but that’s not my fault uor that of the dictionary.” On cross-examination by Barnes, wit- ness testified that he had been a witness in the Davis will case sud he had declared the will a forgery. He also worked on the Durrant murder case, but he was not called as a witness. *Who gave you that case? Was it Cap- tain Lees?” asked the court. Witness gave no answer. *You were given some pipers to ex- amine and you were not cuiled on to tes- tify—Is that i1?” said Judge Campbeil. Again no answer was made. Witness mentioned the Fair will case, the Martin case and others he had worked upon. **You've always had zood jobs, then?” asked Barnes. Again no answer. sumed this morning. _——— One person in two millions is killed in railway traveline, The case will be re- NEW TO-DAY. There is no joy in this world equal to the happiness of motherhood. A woman finds ample compensation for her trials and wor- ries and bothers in the soft, clinging little body nestling close to her own—in the trustful clinging of the little hands, and the love light in the little eyes. A woman’s health is her dearest pOSs- session. Good looks, good times, happi- ness, love and its continuance, depend on her health. Almost all of the sick- ness of women is traceable directly or indi- rectly to some derangement of the organs distinctly feminine. Troubles of this kind are often neglected because a very natural and proper modesty keeps women away from physicians, whose insistence upon ex- amination and local treatment is generally as useless as it is common. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will do more for them than o9 doctors in 100. It will do more than the hundredth doctor can unless he pre- scribes it. It is a prescription of Doctor Pierce, who for joyears has been chief con- sulting physician of the World’s Dispen- sary and Invalids’ Hotel, at Buffalo. “T lost six babies by untimely births.
