The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, August 26, 1897, Page 8

THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AGAIN THE 'PRICES GO SAILING UP Wheat Made aSharp Advance and Was a Surprise to the Dealers. A JUMP OF FIVE CENTS MADE SPECULATORS WILD. Telegrams From Chicago Indicate That the Clique Is Getting Ready to Do a Little More Manipulating in a Few Days. Twenty-eight thousand tons of wheatjand it is fikely the clique will bull the changed hands on the call board yester- day on a rising market. The loss of Tuesday was almost recovered and every- | thing at the ciose indicated higner prices | yet to-day. While foreign markets were weaker Chicago showed a sharp advance and San Francisco followed closely at the heels of the Windy City. The change in tone was much ofasurprise to the bears, but the long-headed dealers expected it and made i good profits on their recent sales. Wheat | has had the call so far, but indications now are that corn will soon come in for a | | market to-morrow. I think the December | and September bulls who unloaded in the neighborhood of a dollar will take hold again to-morrow and it is possible that some of to-day’s decline will be recov- ered.” Yesterday morning at 8:30 the following came: “There is a strong undertone fo every- thing. The weak longs evidently liqui- dated yesteraay.” At 10 came 1he following: “Foreigners are buying cash wheat in New York."” E IN BEHALF OF CHRISTIANITY St. Charles Parish Fair Suc- cessfully Inaugu- rated. A Host of Visitors Listened to Speeches and Patronized Booths, A Reception Will Be Held This Evening Under the Auspices of the Y. M, L | The fair for the benefit of St. Charles | varish, under the direction of Fathers | Cummings and O'Mann, assisted by the ladies of the church, was formally opened last evening by Father Yorke in tie Mission Turn Verein Hall. The hall, which had been decorated for the oc- casion, was filled to overflowing early in the evening. The address by Father Yorke was at- tentively listened to, and immediately after its close the lady managers in the booths started the ball rolling. The fair, which is to be opened for three weeks, will without doubt be a success. Father Yorke, among other things, said: “We gather here this evening to open the second fair for the benefit of St. Charles parish which has been beld ia the past ten years. Many people are preju- diced concerning these fairs, but I am satis- fied their minds would be changed if they could see this gathering here to-night. There is no reason for those who claim to have religion to wear long facesduring life, for our work in the interest of the church and for the glory of God is some- thing we should ba proud of. «“Prosperity shines on our parish and we care not whether it comes from the whence comes our precious wheat. We are working in a noble cause and a just reward awaifs us.” frozen North or the sun-kissed valleys | NOT A SNIRCH ON “O0LD GLORY A Vast Movement to Pre- vent the Desecration of the Flag. Often the National Emblem Has Been Treated With Scant Ceremony., Initial Steps Taken by the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution. At the meeting of the Sons of the Amer- ican Revolution, held last Saturday nigtt in Pioneer Hall, there was read a letter from Edward Hagman Hall, secretary of the National society, Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution, requesting the co-opera- tion of the San Francisco society in a movement by the National society to honor the American flag and prevent its desecration and calling attenticn to the following resolution that was adopted by the National society some time ago: Resolved, That thissociely appoint a permas nent committee of thirteen who shall, on be- half of the society, bave charge of the foster- ing of public sentiment in 1avor of honoriug the flag o1 our country and preserving it from desecration and initiating and forwarding legal -measures to prevent such desecration. That such commiltee shall join with and in- vite to join with it other patriotic societies and committees of the same to co-operate in the aforesaid objects and ends. Tnat such committee have power to fill all vacancies, to fix its own quorum and make its own rules, and that such committee shall be known as the flag committee of this society. In the letter the writer asks for a full report of the efforts, if any. thatthe San | Francisco society may have done in that line. He then writes: Many societies have already performed ex- | pensive, laborious and highly commendable work in'this field, but the results have Leen disproportionately meager. Itis the purpose of this committee to make a critical study of what has been attempted heretofore, what Scene at the Produce Exchange During the After Session of the Call Board. share of the excitement, as there is a strong bull feeling in it. Wheat closed weak at $1 581 Tuesday night, and the bears were flattering them- selves that they had the market all their way, but when the opening news came from the East yesterday morning there was a scary feeling and soon a stiff ad- vance began which went forward withou a reaction until the high point wa: reached at the close, and then on the curb | the stiffness continued and prices again aavanced to $16334, with a feeling all around that those who failed to get in would have to pay higher prices on the opening to-day. The trading all day was large and at times the pit looked as if the traders had gone wild with excitement. Books were thrown across the room, hands were raised in wild gesticulation, voices reached the top pitch, while the hammer of the caller could scarcely be heard above the din. The wgak long element that has been realizing for the past two days now discovered that they napping and everybody seemed to be try- ing to get more of the golden grain be- fore it went to the top again. Telegrams came all day from Chicago indicating that the clique was in control and would bull prices away above former prices. San Francisco dealers are of a conservative nature and have ljttle of the plunging disposition shown on the Chi- cago board, and the result is that there | is little or no danger that anybody will be caught very hard. The brokers have | s0 much straight commission business to do that they let the speculative field se- verely alone and attend to the wants of their customers, while the latter element deal directly with their cash, being satis- fied with small gains and quitting when they make small losses. One broker sized up the situation here pretty clearly when he said that wheat prices were pretty much a matter of sen- timent. According to his belief the farm- | ers and outsiders got an idea that they | could make large profits and would come in and speculate. This would cause a risa | in prices until the flarry was over. Ac cording to his views present conditions had been duplicated many times in the | past without the rapid increase in price | and without the fluctuations that have marked the market for the past week or | two. | Cutter & Moseley were the heavy deal- [ ers both yesterday and Tuesday. They sold tens of thousands of tons of wheat | Tuesday and broke the market, but yes- | terday they ‘urned around and bought | more than 10,000 tons, causing much of the sharp advance. Their action yester- day was largely based upon the telegrams received from their Chicago agent. The first bull information came at 5:30 Tues. day night in the following telegram: ] think the feeling has changed some- what on corn. The late cligue is supposed to have sold from five to six million bushels. With some probability of frost to-night corn will likely be higher to-mor- row. Anyway December is not high at 30 cents. It looks this afternoon as though had been caught | Then immediately followed the corn news, which indicated thaithat cereal will | take a hand in the game. “Samples of growing corn from Bush- nell, Ill., show very small berry and look like being nubbins when husking comes. I tnink the yield will be very disappoint- ing.” | Then, at1:15 came the following, which ave the cue for the afternoon action: | me that September wheat will sell at $1 15 and December at $105 in ten days’ time. It looks from to-day’=c osing that all stuff | wiil be higher to-morrow. The Consul- General at Frankfort. Germany, revorts Russia’s crop 70 per cent of normal. Rou- mania only half of last year. Hungary 47,000,000 bushels less than last year. In- dia has only 78,000,000 bushe!s, or 16,000,000 | less than its own normal consumption.” These telegrams all indicate that the prophecy of the leader of the clique is not far wrong in his estimates of what the market is going to do within the next ten days. Some very wild speculators talked of $1 wheat brought out a few months ago. Andrew 8. Moseley of Cutter & Mose- lev, which firm seems to have led the market for the last two days, said last which was certain to come after such a steady advance, It was brought about by the weak longs, who desired to realize when they bad fair profits, and the talent, or old dealers, took advantage of the slump and got in more wheat. When we come to look at the condition of the Eng- lish markets and the freights it can read- ily be seen that December wheat is not too high. There is no inflation to the prices. - 1tis worth every cent of the price it reached to-day. “The conditions in San Francisco are not like those 1 Chicago. Here there is no headlong buying and seiling and the trades, which are very larze in the aggre- gate, come from a large number of deal- ers. The brokers are all so busy attend- ing to their commission business that they have no time to speculate and the result is that a strictly legitimate business is be- ing done. There is no possibility of any heavy failures here as the speculative ele- ment has no plungers.” The general feeling on the curb last nignt was that this morning would wit- ess some very exciting scenes, and there was quite a deal of covering along the line. Prices were very stiff and showed an advance over the close on the Call Board. Divorces Granted. Divorces have been granteu in the Superior Court &s follows: Frank Elvin from Clara Elvin, on account of her desertion. John Henry Olsson from Mary Ann Olsson, for hanitual intemperance. Cynthia A.

LONG DISTANCE RECORDS, Bozio. and Curtis Will Try for Twenty and Forty Mile kecords. E. A. Bozio of the Imperial Cycling Club has determined to make his attempt against Kraft’s twenty-mile road record next Sunday, and has about completed arrangements for proper pacing. There will be two Acme Club tandem teams, one from the Reliance, one from the Cali- fornias and one from the Olympics, be- sides an Olympic triplet team. To'this will be added all the available material in the Imperial Club. Bozio firmly declares that all he needs is fast enough pacing to bring down the recora fully a minute. But Kraft is fally as- certain that Bozio won’t conze within two minutes of equal- ing it. Arrangements are being made to bring these two combatants for long-distance honors together on som e track, at a meet to be promoted by the Bay Citys and Imperials. It would be one of the besi attractions ever shown here. M. G. Curtis of Alameda will try for the Fruitvale-San Jose record next Sun- day. The distance is about forty-three miles, and the record of O. L. Pickard made June 10, 1894, still stands. Chance Acquaintance Cyclers will havea run to Bear Valley next Sunday. They will take tue 8A. M. Sausalito boat, di-- embarking tor two speciaily reserved coaches to Point Reyes, the round trip be- ing $L. At Point Reyes the wheeling will commence, and coaches will be pro- vided for those without wheels. Olema, the fish hatchery and Country Club will all be visited, The club invites its friends to enjoy this run with the members. Itis said 1o be a nice trip for a novice. ‘‘Bring yvour own lunch” is theenjoinder, this being deemed better than trusting to that which might be obtained at stopping places. Tickets can be had of members at the ferry the morning of departure. Over thirty ladies and gentlemen attended the club’s twenty- mile ride to San Mateo a fortnight ago. The following is a programme of events and prizes announced by the Capital GCity Wheselmen for their meet at Sacramento on Sunday, September 12: One mile, novice race, medals; half mile seratch, amateur, $25, $15 and $10; one mile handicap, professioual, $50, $25 and $15; two-mile handicap, amateur, %25, $15, $10} one mile, C.

He|stated that they expeet- ed an immense entry list of amateurs. No entry fee will be charced for any event. Should the professionals now in the North- west not return here in time for the meet the yrofessional open race will be scratched and another amateur event added. . — New Divorce Suits. Suits for divorce have been filed in the of- fice of the County Clerk as follows: Anthony H. Seward against Jennie Sewara, for alleged desertion; Jennie M. Nichols against John J, Nichols, for failure to provide. has been accomplished, what has failed and why it has failed, and by co-ordinating the action of our own societies of the Sons of the American Revolution with that of other great patriotic bodies not only make their efforts more_fruitiul, but also bring to greater frui_ tion their past labors. The united committees representing the supreme and subordinate bodies of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Loval Legion, the Founders and Patriots of America, etc., acting as a greal conierence committee on the protection of the flag, with headquar- ters at New York, have inaugurated & cam- puign which it is velieved will receive irom the President of the United States and otner 1 fluential citizens such active sympathy us will secure from Congress adequate legis- lation. In accordance with the request the local soclety appointea the foilowing commit- tee to co-operate with the one of the Na- tional society: Horace Davis, Columbus Bartlett, George C. Boardman, Mark Shel- don, George W. Spencer, D. B. Marwick, Colone! A. D. Cutler, Colonel 8. 1. Kellogg Jr. and Judge A. P. Catiin of Sacramento. The society will endeayor to secure tho co-operation of local patriotic societies in ihe movement. In 1879 an effort was made to prevent the desecration of the American flag by placing advertisements upon it. On the 7th of January, 1880, a bill was introduced in Congress declaring it a crime to use the flag for advertising purposes, but it went no further than that. ‘The following named were elected mom- bers of the society: Oiiver Hendrickson Simons, physician; Dr. Rawlins Cadwa!- lader; Rhodes Borden, Assistant City and County Attorney; Ralph Bell Kittredge, salesman; Warren Olney, lawyer; Walter Emerson Dennison; Henry Cowell, mer- chant; James Nathaniel Rogers, horticul- turist; Charles Cushing Beck, cashier; William Francis James, attorney-at-law; Henry Holden Wood, secretary; Edwara English Chever, retired; John Walter Parknurst, accountant; Kdward Kverett Perley, real estate; Reginald Webster, Superintendent Common Schools; George Hiram Buckingham, real estate. The Sons of the American Revolution will on the 17th of September celebrate the one hundred and tenth anniversary of the completion, signing and presentation to l{m Colonial Congress of the constitu- tion. ¥ QUIGLEY GOT JUSTICE. Offended the Court and He Was Given Twenty-Four Hours for Con- tempt. John B. Quigley ran up against the stern arm of the law yesterday when he offend- ed the dignity of Justice of the Peace Ker- rigan by using violent language in the latter's courtroom while thc court was in session. “i’ll get justice,’” said Quigley, prefac- i ing the remark with language more forci- ble than e.egant. “Yes, and you'll get twenty-four hours for contempt,” said the Justice, and Quig- ley was taken away in the custody of a stalwart Deputy Sheriff i spite of the pleading of theg attorneys on both sides that be be let off with a reprimand. “This is an aggravated case,”’ taid the Juutice', ‘and the man must take his sen- tence.” —_——————— Police Tribunal. The Police Commissioners met last night and dismissed a charge of being absent {rom his beat pending against Poiliceman John R. Lewis, 'he case of Policeman Winzler, charged with shooting a supposed boy burglar, was continued for s month. AUGUST 265, 1897. BILLY HENEY COMING BACK The Fee Clerk of the Treas- urer's Office Arrested in Mexico. Charged With Embezzling Funds of the City and County of San Francisco. Afterward Released at El Paso on an Order From Chief of Police Lees. For some time past the office of City and County Treasurer Widber has been buzzing with rumors of a political scandal. Tunese rumors assumed a concrete form when William Heney, one of the depu- ties, was dismissed by Treasurer Widber. The matter was kept secret, although the rumors hinted at an embezzlement of public moneys. The story went on to the effect that Heney had made good the amount of whatever shortage there might have been before he left the Treasurer's office. Then ke went to the springs. Where the particular springs were he did not say. City officials were very reticent about the affair. Auditor Broderick, whose special duty it 1s to act as watch- dog of the funds, was seen at his residence last night, In answer to direct questions he said that he had heard that Heney had got into “trouble” in the Treasurer’s office, but what that “trouble’’ was he did not know. Infact he did not inquire. He could not say whether or not the clerk’s name was on the salary rolls, be- cause he will not come into possession of them until to-morrow. After Heney left this City Chief of Po- lice Lees was notified by Treasurer Wid- ber that Honey’s accounts were short. ‘Thbe Chief set the wires in motion and it was found that a man answering Heney’s description, accompanied by a lady, had passed through Los Angeles on the way to El Paso. The Chief of Police at EI Paso was im- mediately wired to be on the look out for Heney and yesterday a dispatch was re- ceived that he had been arrested at Chihuahua, Mex., having passed through El Paso and had been brought back to the latter city. The Treasurer was notified of the arrest and_subsequently a dispatch was sent to El Paso to release Heney from custody and requesting him to return to the City. The lady who accompanied him was his wife. and they left by the first train from Ei Paso on the return j urney. It was at first reportea that Heney’s shortage was about $3000, but it. was sub- sequenily learned that it did not ex- ceed $400. From the fact that Heney was arrested and subsequently released, it is supposed that the deficiency had been made good by Heney’s friends. There was a desire to keep the matter quiet, and it waanot till last night that it was dafinitely known that Heney haa left the City. The following dispatch was received last night from THE CALL's special correspond- ent at Bl Paso: © EL PASO, TeX., Aug. 25.—W. J. Heney and wife, en route fiom Chihuanua, Mexico, to £an Francisco, registered at a hotel here to- day. On August 3 Heney went through El ! Paso en route to Chihushua, and on August 4 the Chief of Police of San Francisco wired the El Paso police to arrest him. These instruc- tions were carried out to-day. Heney stated that his trouble had been ad- justed in San Francisco, and thathe was no longer wanted there. This proved to be the case, as & wire to the Chief of Police in San Franc sco was answered by & request to liber- ate Heney, as he was on his way home on his own recognizance. Heney would make no statement of his case. He simply said that the charges against him were without founda- tion. The charge against him is said to be em- bezzlement in connection with the Treasury Department of-San Francisco. He will con- tinue to California to-dey. It issaid that Mrs. Heney has been the mediator between her husband and his difficulties. EDITOR LAWRENCE HURT. His Collar-Bone While Scorch- ing Near Ingle- side. Broke An unfortunate and serious accident be- | fell A. M. Lawrence, managing editor of the Examiner, while he was cycling yes- terday afternoon on the ocean road from Ingleside. In company with Joseph Quales, news editor of the Examiner, be was taking a spin awheel for pleasure. Returning from Ingleside they made the grade all right. When tbey reached the level stretch be- vond they developed scorching speed. Mr. Lawrence’s wheel struck a viece of wood and he was thrown with great violence to the ground. His collar-bone was broken, his scalp laceratea over the right eve and his body generally bruised. He lay uncenscious for some time and was finally brought to his home by a man chancing to passin a buggy. Dr. McNutt, who is attending him, says that Mr. Lawrence will be laid upand confined to his home for at least a month. e e Only Digging a Well. OAKLAND, CaL, Aug. 25.—Two men digeing a well on the east shore of Lake Merritt this morning started the familiar rumor that they were looking for treas- ures of the mythical practical band. PLAINTS NADE BY SHIPPERS Several Charges of Dis- crimination Filed Yesterday. Alleged Violation of the Long and Short Haul Clause. An Admission by the Southern Pacific That Illegal Rates Had Existed. Several cases of alleged discrimination in rates were ander consideration by the Railroad Commissiou yesterday. R. V. 8. Quigley of Lakeport complained in a communication sent to the board that he had been charged $4 75 for 170 pounds of miscellaneous freight from Hopland to Vanderbilt, San Bernardino County, whereas some time previousiy he had shipped a barrel of apples weighing exactly the same to Blake, San Bernardino County, a distance thirty miles less, for $175. He added that he had asked for an explana- tion in reference to this great difference, but had been unable to get a satisfactory one from the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. g The freight in question moves over the Southern Pacific for most of the distance between th&points named. The secretary was instructed to write to the San Fran- cisco and North Pacific asking for an explanation. Peterson Bros. of Vinton, Cal., voiced the. grievance of the people of his com- munity against the Nevada, California and Oregon Railroad. He claimed that freight rates were 7}4 cents per 100 pounds greater from Sacramento to Vinton than from Bacramento to Beckwith, notwith- standing that Vinton was eieven miles nearer to Sacramento. He charged that this was done in order to favor the town of Chat. As the Railroad Commissioners have no means of learning whether it was the Ne- vada, California and Oregon or the Sierra Valley Railway, the secretary was in- structed to communicate with both of these companies and ascertain all the facts in the matter. At the last meeting of the board it was decided that the Socthern Pacific Com- pany should have its attention called to a charge of discrimination made against it to the effect that rates from San Francisco are higher to Mojave than to Lancaster, despite the fact that Lancaster is twenty- five miles more distant. A communica- tion was received from C. H. Smurr of the Souihern Pacific yesterday admittine that such discrimination had existed and add- ing toat instructions have now been given that in no instance shall higher rates be charged. from San Francisco to Mojave than from San Francisco to Lancaster. The new schedule of freight rates issued | by the Alameda and San Joaquin Rail- road, popularly known as the Corral Hol- low line, was approved by the commissien. Tt gives the rates in cents per 100 pounds fn“ ver 1000 feet on lumber, and is as fol- ows: 2] = g B38| ¢ BETWEEN STOCK- le 3 2 g o hE TON AND s HE SERGEANT. 855 af 2 Sergeant | 1345 Garrison | 134 San Joaquin River. | 1 Rhodes. 11 2 Ludwig. 2 Kerlinge: 2 Carrolls. 354 | 1214 |23, Castie Roc! 5(5 " | 1245/ 21p Gravel Fil.

Kenneth Duncan, at one time a preacher in this City, was declared insane yester- day, and was committed to the State Asy- lum at Agnews by Judge Hebbard. Charles Montgomery was the complain- ing witness. He testified that Duncan is sometimes seized with an irresistible im- pulse to take things not hie owr, and that sometimes he would return the purioined articles and with tears in his eyes confess his guilt. For several months Duncan has peen greatly depressed. He has frequently ex- pressed a determination to commit sni- cide by jumping into the bay. In view of the circumstances the friends of the unfortunate man thought it best to have him placed in some institution where he could be restrained until he recovers. SaEreCo g S Broderick Signs the Warrantas. In spite of the veto of the Mayor, Auditor Broderick has begun signing the bills for public printing that were rejected by the chief executive of the City government several days ago. Mr. Broderick thinks that Mayor Phelan Aas exercised the right of veto under a mis- taken impression. He holds that the section of the consolidation act on which the Mayor bases his veto does not refer io stationery, rinting nor items of that kind, but to build- ng and official printing contracts, which are always let by bids. Siatiouery and printed blanks can b: obtained by committees at any time, without advertising for bids on a sworn statement from the head of any department that the supplies are necessary for the proper conduct o1 the business oi the office.
