The block is feet lonz and 240 feet wide. It is bounded by Seventh, Eignth, Irving and Hubbell streets. The land adjoine the coast line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and it is said the oil company will build tracks so trains can run directly to the new buildings to be erected on the premises. Inquiry last night failed to elicit the sum paid for the property, but i1t was an- nounced that the oil company paid cash down for the land. Theimprovementson the property ar= to be extensive and of a | permanent chracter. Thbe residents in the neighborhood are congratulating themselves upon the trans- fer of property, as evidencing the coming enhancement of values.

Complaints Also Made That the Hours of Labor Are a Viola- tion of the Law. The workmen employed in diggine the excavations for the foundations for the new Postoffice are threatening a strike. Their grievance is against John Kelso, the contractor, to whom the San Francisco Bridge Company sublet this portion of the work. At the present time Kelso's force con- sists of fifteen men, not one of whom is married. This la<t state of affairs is due, according to the men, to a peculiar requis- ite on the part of all applicants for a posi- tion under the contractor. Kelso keeps a boarding-house at Sixteenth and Harrison streets, and if the stories of his workmen go for anything they are obliged to live there as a condition to holding their jobs. Ostensibly they are paid $150 a day, but they maintain that 75 cents a day is charged them for their board at the hos- telry of their employer. Married men, of course, would not care to work under such auspices, and the men say that this condi- tion of board that goes with the job has re- sulted in the fact that all the workmen are bachelors. The men have also another grievance. eleven bours a day, although the general rule on Government work calls for eight hours of toil. The last complaint forms the basis of their principal troubles, and may lead to a strike if the men decide tnat they are being imposed upon. There were two indignation meetings yesterday at Seventh and Mission sireets, at which (e matter was discussed, and a commii- tee was appointed to obtain legal advice on :he question of the hours of work. Kelso’s representatives maintain that the law has not been violated in this matter | of the length of a day’s work, as the eight-hour law applies only to work done | ander the direct auspices of the Govern- ment. In the present instance it is con- tended that Kelso is simply a private in- | dividual periorming work under a ceneral competition and in no sense bound by any | regulations governinz regular tasks for the Washington authorities. The workmen also say that they are | being paid in time checks, which are the only currency received at par at the boarding-house. It is probable that 1he matter will be investigated by the Labor | Council. | OLYMPIC CLUB HONORS, The Crop of Candidates for Office Is Developing ix Numbers. George A. Newhall and Mayor Phelan | Ahead in the Race for the Presidency. The coming annual election of officers of the Olympic Club promises to develop a | big crop oi candidates. The nominating committee has not yet reported its selec- | tions and pending this event the names of nearly every prominent member of the club are being mentioned in connec.ion with some of the honors that will be dis- tributed on the first Tuesday of the com- ing month. There are six candidates in the race for the presidency of the organization. George A. Newhall, the present head of affairs, can have the place again if he so desires, and his friends are urging him to allow his name to be used for renomi- nation. The insurance man hasa close rival in the person of Mayor Phelan, who bas always taken an active partin the club’s affairs. J. Downey Harvey has a number of active partisans who would like to see him at the head of the table. Henry J. Crocker 1s mentioned promi- nently in the list of people who wouid grace the throne. W. M. Bunker has a number of adherents, and T. P. McLennon is reported to be a dark horse in case the contest becomes exciting. President Newhall, it is said, wishes to retire from the presidency and hissup- porters are just now engaged in the task of effecting a change of heart on his part. At the present time he is fir-t in the race. It seems to be the wish of the nominating board that as many oi the present board stand for re-election as possible, and this is the general desire of the club as a whole. It is generally conceded that H. B. Russ has the field to himself tor the emoluments of the office of treasurer and Oscar Tolle seems the secretaryship. Eddi- Kolb and How- ard Taylor are ihe asp.rants for leader of the club. For the glory of captainship the race lies between Phil Wana and Fred A. Butz. There was a meeting of the promoters of the new Amateur Athletic Association of the Pacific States at the club headquar- ters last night. The by-laws of the new organization was the subject of consid- eration. It is conceded that the constitu- tion of the association will be very comprehensive and specific on the quos- tion thatlied tothe row with the Ama- teur Athletic Association and the present demoralization of syort. . e At Sutio B.uths.

Craig Obeyed the Law as He Found It Written. Decisions in Other States That Authority to Punish Is Not Unconstitutional. An End to Taking Depositions Be- fore Ministerial Officers if Power to Punish Does Not Exist. The commitment for contempt of Law- rence and Williams, the Examiner de- fendants, for refusing to answer certain questions before Notary Craig presents a question of widespread interest to lawyers and others. The opinion of Ready, Campbell & Metson rendered to the Sheriff and the off-hand expressione of several attorneys do not settle the ques- tiens involved. There was a great cry made at Sacramento last winter that the Legislature had no power toimprison a person for contempt, but the highest court held to the contrary. Had Sheriff Whelan obeyed the order of the notary and arrested the defendants here, who re- | fused to answer the questions before Notary Craig, the pointin dispute might have been settled on habeas corpus pro- ceedings. There will be further testimony taken before the notary, and refusal to answer may be followed by commitment for contempt. The question is one of sufficient importance to be determined in | this State as it has been elsewhere. J. F. Cowdery is recognized as an | authority on the written law. His books are quoted in the practice -of law before the courts of the country. He was asked | to explain the statutes bearing on this | question. In his explanation Mr. Cowdery said: The codes of California were compiled { by a commission of lawyers who ranked among the very best. The codes were sub- sequently, in 1873-74, revised and corrected by Judge Field of the Supreme Court of the United States, John W. Dwinell and { Judge Catlin, They were revised and thoroughly discussed during the two years that intervened between tueir adoption and revision, put no voice was raised against the powers given to a notary publtic to punish for contempt. The original Civii Code contained, and now contains this section: Section 1201. Officers authorized to take the proof of iustruments are authonzed in such proceedings: 1. To administer oaths or hffirmetions as prescribed in section 2093, Code of Civil Pro- cedure. 0 employ and swear interpreters, 0 issue subpena as prescribed in section Code of Civil Procedure. 3 . To punish for contempt, as prescribed in s:ctions 1991, 1993, 1994. C. C. P. The following-named ministerial of- ficers have each authority to ‘‘take proof of instruments” : 1. A clerk of a court of record. 2. A county recorder. 3. A notary public and others. Section 1991, Code of Civil Procedure, provides: Disobediencg to a subpena, or a refusal to Worn, Or 10 answer as & witness * * * may be punished as & contempt by the court or officer issuing the subpena. It does not say, ‘‘provided such officer has power 10 so punish.” That power 1s aforesaid. Notary Craig was proceeding under sec- tion 1991, Code of Civil Procedure, when he attempted to commit ihe witness to the custody of the Sheriff, and on this point Mr. Cowdery said: “'The notary evidently knows that section 1201 of the Civil Code gave such authority, and also referred to section 1991 for occasions under which | ministerial officers might punish. In the Leziensky case a witness refused to answer a notary’s question. A Superior Court undertook to punish the witness because FOR LINGOLN'S HONORED NAME Big Mass-Meeting in Met- ropolitan Temple To-Night, A Varied Programme of Musical and Literary Exercises Prepared. Addresses Will Be Made by Well- Known Citizens in Memory of the Martyred President. The Lincoln Monumant(Lesgun met in Washington Hall last night for the pur- oose of making the final arrangements for the big mass-meeting this evening in Metropolitan Temple on Fifth street. W. W. Stone was in the chair and called upon Judge Cooney of the committee on arrangements for a report. The Judee announced that all arrangements for the meeting had been perfected and that a good attendance was expected. On be- half of the committee the following pro- gramme was adopted: Remarks by the chairman, Hon. George C. Perkins; grand organ fantasie, ‘‘National Alrs.” Samuel D. Mayer; “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (Howe), Walter C. Campbell; ad- dress, Sumuel M. 8hortridge; soug, “The Rose,” Mills Quartei—Miss Maude Stanford, Miss Maud Fay, Miss Alice Brooks and Miss Mabel Phill: dress, General R. A, Fried- rich; patriotic song, ~The Bauner of the Bear” (Roeckel), Ellen Coursen-Roeckel; ad- dress, Hop. James G. Maguire; song, “Colum- bis,”’ Miss Faunie E. Rvan; address, H. C. Dibble; cornetsolo, Alfred P. Black; address, Colonel John O’Byrne; address, M. M. Estee; ‘Could 1,” Miss Grace 1. Davis; adaress, A. Knight; song, “‘Sword of Bunker Hiil,” Alfred Wilke; address, General P. F. Walsn; cornet solo, Alired P. Black; grand chorus, “Star-spengied Banner.” Judge Cooney exvlained that all the persons to take part had volunteered their services free of all charze and that there would be no expense on that part of the affair. Senator Perkins had promised to preside at the me-ting and to make a brief address. All the addresses would be patriotic, he said, and none of them woul t occupy longer than ten minutes. Judge Cooney expressed the thanks of the committee to THE CaLL for the assist- ance which it had rendered to the com- miitee. It had been a con:istent and un- selfish friend of the movement from the beginning. The committee had sent letters to the Governors of all the States in the Union, and replies had been received from the following; Governor Lord of Oregon, Governor Hol- comb of Nebraska, Governor Cook of Connecti- cut, Governor Pingree of Michigan, Governor Lee of South Dakota, Governor Lowndes of Maryland, Governor Wolcoit of Massachusetts, Governor Russ 1l of North Carolina, Governor Richards of Wyoming, Governor Smith of Montana, Governor Rogers of Washington, Governor Welis of Utah; also Secretary of State Sherman, Secretary of War Alger and Attorney-General McKenna, Many ne apers throughout the coun- try also baa noticed the movement favor- abiy, and had send the committee marked copies. Applause greeted Judge Cooney’s an- nouncement that Mayor Phelan had promised to preside at the meeting. M. M. Estee was calied upon for some suggestions, and he proposed the appoint- ment of « committee to ask the morning newspapers to liberally advertise the meeting of this evening. The memory of Lincoln, he said, was dear to the heart of the people, and they would remember him long ufier the most enduring monument should have crum- bled into dust. General P. F. Walsh was the next speak- er, and spoke in favor of having the meet- ‘iing prominently noticed in the papers to- ay. Captain Murray Bailey and W. W. Stone followed witn appropriate remarks, and the meeting ad journed. S MEMORY REVERED. herefused to answer the notary’s ques- tion. The Supreme Court, on review, | held that the Superior Court had no juris- diction to punish the witness for contempt not of the Superior Court but of the notary’s order. “If there is any inference to be drawn it is that the Supteme Court knew that the notary had authority lo punisa contempts in pro- ceedings before him in which he acted in tak- ing a deposition in a quasi judicial capacity, and for that reason would not uphold the or- der of the Superior Court. Mr. Cowdery was asked: *‘Has this question | been raised in other States,” and roplied: | “Yes. InKansas, and Nebraska and Missouri it has been held by the Supreme Courts that | where the Legislature gives such power to | minfsterial officers, when taking depositions, | such authority is not unconstitutional.” “‘Are there decisions holding that Legisla- tures have 2o authority to confer such power on notaries?” Mr. Cowdery replied: *I can find a few. One is Whitcomb's case, 120 Mass., p. 118. This | shows that such questions are not to be de- cided offhand by all classes of people, but per- | tain to the high functions of the nighest | courts of the State and Nation. The only rea- | son why I raise my voice in this matter is to | protest agaiust miscellaneous people assum- | ing judicial functions higher than those of | our Justices of the Peace.’” | It was suggested to Mr. Cowdery that in all the interviews, including those with the At- tornev-General of the State and Judge Me- Kinstry, surprise was implied, if not ex- pressed, st the conduct of & notary public 1n ssuming the robes of a high Judge, and with- out a shadow of authority cousigning a fellow- | citizen 10 & dungeon. | “Mr. Cowdery replied: “There are a few | lawyers in San Francisco, on the bench and | elsewhere, who hold the codes in such con- tempt that they consider it a merit not to know anything about them. They ure always surprised at the contents of the codes, ana’l, having introduced the Code of Civil Pro- cedure, as amended in 187374, into the Legis- lature, frequenily feel crushed when 1 cali their atteniion o an overlooked section. They seenf 1o ho'd me responsible because it is not alwavs the same as the common law.” “What do you think of the question In- volved? Hasanotary power to punish as for contempt in certain cases?” Mr. Cowdery replied: “Ifhe has not, then | who has such power {n the case in which Mr. raig made his order? The code gave him such power. The Supreme Court bas said thut | it lid o such power in a case before a notary where a witness was under examination. Ifa uotary canuot punish then a witness need not answer, and 1 a wituess need 1ot auswer theu there is un end to the taking of deposition be- fore ministerial officers. I am astonished that so many of our emi- nent iawvers were surprised that Notary Craig St. Andrew’s Societj.' Helds an El_ltertainment. at Scottish Hall, The One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Anniversary of the Poet's Birth, Irving M. Scott's Ovation, Last evening was an cccaslon on which the memory of Sir Walter Scott, the Cale- donian bard and novelist, was glven honor. It was the one hundred and twenty-sixth anniversary of his birth, and in honor of the event St. Andrew's So- ciety gave a literary entertainment and social dance at Scottish Hall, 105 Larkin street. A zood-sized audience was present when Irving M. Scott, the orator of the occa- sion, stepped upon the platform and pro- ceeded to eulogize the famous author. Mr. Scott’s remarks were delivered ex- temporaneously, and dealt with the novei- ist and poet and bis reputation very broadly. He said Scotland to-day owed much of its attractiveness to tourists from the fact that its scerery and places famed by tradition had been so largely exploited in Scott’s works, The following programme was then ren- dered, all the performers being encored : Overture, Scott’s selections, orchestra; vocal solo, selected, J. F. Fleming; song, “Bonnie Dundee,” Miss Jennie Doble; duet, cornet and tiombone, “Hail to the Chief,” the Misses Pearl and Mand Nople; song, ““The Flowers of the Forest,” Miss Daisy Keane; vocal solo, ‘“The McGresors’ Gathering,” Frank Coffin; dance, Reel o Tullock, Ethel Manning, Eva Ayres, Franc's Ayres,” Hattie Wright: song, +*Jock o’ Hazeldean,” Miss Ann Gordon; whis- tling solo, poyular melodies,”Miss Gertrude Judd; recitation, war song of the Royal Edioburg Light Dragoons, Captain R. B. Scott. Quartet, seiected, Eureka quartel—First tenor, D M. Lawreuce; second tenor, R. P. Evans;: first biss, J. F.' Fleming; secor d bass, C. L. Parent Jr.; R. D. Burness, accompsanist. At the conclision o: theliterary features James R. Webster rose and proposed a vote of thanks toail who had offered their i services, ana especially to Mr. Scott for obeyed the law as he found it written. They evidently believed that the notary shouid | have done what the Supreme Court refused to do—viz, suy that the codes are violative of the constiution. In my opinion a lawyer ought to uphold an officer when he obeys the written law, and a ministerial officer should never be encouraged in violating ute. Allstatutes should be obeyed until repealed or declared to be unconstitutional.” Three Hide Thieve On complaint of E. C. Ward, agent of the Oregon Ratlway and Navigation Company, warrants have been issued by Judge Joachim- sen for the arrestof Richard Simpson, Richard Adams and John Doe Taggart, the three com- panions of Witliam Brady, who was captured early this week stealing hides from the com- pany’s wharf ————— ‘Welburn Wiil Be Indicted To-Day, The United States Grand Jury will report in Judge de Haven’s court 10-day at 11 A. ., and will present indictments against ex-Collector Welburn for embezzlement, and against Stark aud other counterfeiters his eloquent treatment of his subject.

ONE MORE SLAVE GlAL RESCUED A Raid Made on Spofford Alley With Good Results. TWO SLAVE KEEPERS ARRESTED. The Man and Woman Who Kept the Den Taken to the Station. JUSTICE DONE 0 TIWO OFFICERS. Their Action Due Purely to a Question of Authority to Do the Work, Another slave was rescued from a den in Chinatown last night and the man and woman who were running the place were arrested and booked at the California- street station on the charge of having a minor in a disreputable house. The warrants for the arrests were sworn out about two weeks ago by Mrs. Hull of the Methodist mission, but they were not served until last night, as it was desired that the girl should be rescued at the tima of the arrest, and the mission workers were compelled to wait until they were snure that the girl was in the house. Last night the information was received and the Chinatown squad accompanied the mission workers to the place on Spoi- ford alley and quickly forced an entrance notwithstanding the fact that the China- man who ran it fought the oflicers with the assistance of all the people of the establishment. The girl is under 16 years of age, and when the party went into the house she seemed to know at once that she was wanted, for she ran to a rear entrance and attempted to escape, and would have succeeded had it not been for ar officer who was stationed at that point. When captured the girl began screaming and swearing &t the top of her voice, and con- tinued it until she reached the mission. The man and woman Jought and strug- gled, ard it took 1he combined efforts of two officers to each to get them out of the house. Mrs. Lake, matron of the Mission- house, feels that probably an injustice was done to the officers who were with her when she made the rescue Tuesday nignt, and says it is due them that she now belicves that they did all in their power to assist her and her companions. Her complaint arose from the fact that she aid not understand the limit of their authority, and she thinks that had the men not been hampered bv lack of au- thority $o.act they would have done much more than they did. This was evidenced by the fact that aiter the sergeant arrived and told them how far they could go in protecting the ladies they rendered them all the assistance necessary. In the excitement consequent upon the raid and its results Mrs. Lake was not as definite 1n her account and credit was given to the Chinatewn squad for tne as- sistance, when it should have been given to the sergeant and detailed officers from the Caliiornia-streev station. These men answered promptly to the call, and as soon as they learned just how far their powers went they rendered all possible aid to the ladies in the rescue. As a result of the raid of Tuesday night the mission house was shadowed all aay yesterday by Chinamen and several ai- lempts were made to get communication with the girl. Last evening a writ of habeas corpus was sworn out before Judge Carroll Cook and was served upon Mrs. Lake, calling on her to produce the girl in court this morning at 10:30. WAS NOT MURDERED, De Gray, the Missing Man With a Klondike Fortune, Locited at Chicago. Albert de Gray, the successful gold- hunter from the Klondike, who wassup- posed to have been murdered, has just been located in Chicago, suf- fering only from the effects of looking upon the wine when it was red. De Gray left the Klondike early in the summer with $30,000, leaving behind a mine which he valued at $70,000. He sent word to his father, who resides at Grand Rapius Mich., to meet him in Seattle. complied, but upon reaching Seattle he cou.d learn nothing of his son. He lingered anxiously in the vicinity for some time and then notified the authori- ties of that city, who sent word tn the police all over the country. On July 17 De Gray sent a dispatch from Seattle to his mother, in which he said he had been detained and had so failed to meet his father, and then nothing was heard of him. Detective Anthony was detailed by Chief Lees to see it he could find any trace of the missing man, The detective found that De Gray arrived at this City in the latter part of July and registered at the Golden West. He dis- posed of his gold at the Selby Smelting ‘Works and then proceeaed to Chicago. A dispatch received by the police from Chicago yesterday stated that De Gray was staying at the Great Northern Hotel of that city, and had evidently been spending his substance in riotous livine.
