The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 8, 1897, Page 2

2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 897. et s e B e T e e e i e el e e b e S e Slee Lo s R e e e e by himself, was the brightest in the city. Other newspapers published long, dull, coramonplace discourses on events of the day, which nobody read. Dana’s articles were sharp, piquant, brilliant, sbort, flashing and to the point. Kverybody read them. Instead of filling his columns with endless dreary news dispatches he hired a man, who won the sobriquet of “‘the great American condenser,” 10 cut down the news 1eports so as lo yresent the pith of them and nothing more to the reader. People found out that they could get all the news in five minutes by read- ing the Sun, whereas it took them half an hour or more to dig it out of the other dailies. He devoted especial attention to local rews, but he compressed an account of a local event into a paragraph of a few lines, while his rivals gushed over it 1o the extent of a column. He acted upon the principle that people don’t read new: papers because they want to, but because thev have to, Tne effect of this policy was twofold. The Sun acquired a very large circulation, indeed, and Mr. Danz, who had bought tue bulk of the stock held by his asso- ciates, became a rich man. Secondly, the certainty that the Sun’s articles were read, while the editorials of the Herald, Tribune and World were not, imparted to the paper a vast influence. There have been times in the last ten years when the Sun was more influeniial than all the other papers in New York tozether. Being buman he made mistakes, excellent people resented his hostility General Grant, and thought he should have subordinated his versona! grievance to his sense of the public interest. Ina momentary fit of aberration of mind he fell in love with that typical demagozue, enjamin F. Butler; the affiliation cost him friends whom he might have retained, Nor were his sarcastic attacks on Mr, C.eveland in good taste. He did notiike the man; herein he was like most people, but it was thought he might have given him credit for the sincerity of his pur- poses and the stalwartness of his patriot- ism—which, ot all men, Dana was fitted to ppreciate. These eccentricities apart, conduct of the Sun has been a model for journalists to follow. He has slways aimed at being truthful; he has always tried to be guided by lofty principle, and his skili in dodging the faker has been marvelous. There has been foundation for the saying, “If you see it in the Sun, it is so.” The editorial columns of a newspaper are a reflex of the nature of its editor. When they abound in abuse of rivals or others, it is safe to infer that the editor is a cross-grained, ill-natured, malignant churl. The editorial columns of the Sun have reflected tne kindly, good-hearted disposition of Mr. Dana. He has never stickled at calling a spade a spade, or of making fun of political imposters; but his humor is genial, and his naicule so de- void of bitterness that its victims cannot find it in their heart to resent ir. There is no gall in the sancium where Charles A. Dana writes. When riches came to him and he had paid all his old debts he bought himself an island in Long Island Sound and bumilt thereon a mansion after plans he had nursed when they were mere day dreams. In bis house he collected one of the best private iibraries in the State of New York; not the library of a working journalist, but a gentleman’s collection of choice clasaics, in fine bindings, and rare editions of the standard works of belles lettres. No price was too high for him to pay to secure a book on which he had set his heart. In the basement of that house is a wine cellar, stocked with tne priceless vintages of France, Germany and Italy. When the guests, woom 1t was his delight to entertain, were men aiter his own heart, he would astonish them by producing a Chambertin, which, as Na- poleon said, was like bottled velvet, tipped over the lips, or a flask of Lacrimz Christi, which, by some witchcraft, had been carried over the sea without losing its bouquet, or a long-necked bottie of Johannisberg, whose presence couid only be accounted for on the theory that Prince Metternich’s batler had stolen it {rom the cellar to sell it at $50 a bottle. Mr. Dana was a princely bo:t. When he sat at the head of his table and with quip and jest watched the wine sparkle in a glass no thicker thana film he looked like one of the old barons, too noble to be a mere pen- man, 1 saw kim frequently last April, and nothing in him struck me so much as his boyishness. He wastull of good-humored jokes and pleasant stories, as if he never remembered that he was the last survivor of a generation of great journalists. He said he was 2s insatiate a reader es ever; but, said he, “I never read the learned and wise books which Hazeltine reviews for us. I read love stories, and cry over them. A reallove story is the best read- ing in the worla.”” The man’s heart was as youthful as it had been when I first met him. He loved to talk toa pretty girl as be did in the fifties. *‘Ana upon my word,” saia a lady 1o me, *he is more fascinating than any of the young men of my acquaintance; but don’t you think it ig ridicuious for a gentieman of his age, ith such a patriarchal beard, to be put- ting his arm round a girl’s waist and squeezing her?"”’ Joux BoNNER. FUGITIVES WILL KETUGN. Those Who Fled From HKew Orleans Are No Longer Afraid of the Yellow Fever. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 7.—The fever situation was consideraoly improved io- day. There were but two deaths reported to 6 o'ciock to-night, one of which was mentioned last night in these dispatches. Yesterday by noon there had been nine- teen cases and five deaths, and the dispar- ity between ihe records of the two days is apparent. Asamatter of fact the situation bere is no worse than it has been for some time, and excitement has absolutely died out. Now that the disease bas shown no symptoms of epidemic form business men are making arran ements io bring their families back to the city. At 6 o’clock thirty-two new cases had been reporited and the deaths of Miss Anunie Recket and Miss Pauline Imm- brau, Cases continue 10 appear on Jackson avenue, one of the finest boulevards of the city, and it is a matter of fact that while Carroliton is one of the cleanest and best portions of New Orleans more cases Lave developed there than in any other quarter. Dr. Simson and one of his fam- ily are among the stricken to-day. The Chateau Yquem, the steamer bear- ing the Sicilian immigrants, arrived at Piaquemine parish, and her passengers were landed, after proper examination and disinfection, atthe quarantine station, There is one case of yellow fever re- poried at Clinton, Miss., while no cases have occurred at Niita Yuma. BILOXI, Miss., Oct. 7.—There was an- otber death to-aay from yellow fever, that ot Dr. Breckstaller. e Coursing at San Jose.

BREAKING DOWN E DEFENSE Evidence of Two of the Chief Witnesses for Luetgert Crushed. lilinois Making Out a Strong Case Against the Big Sausage-Maker. Overtures of a Hypnotist Arouses the Anger of the Alleged Wife-Murderer. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGO, ILL, O —One more day of evidence and the finish of the Luetgert trial will be in signt. The State an- nounced to-day that it had but few wit- nesses and that it would get through them without much delay to-morrow. An adjournment will then be taken until Monday, when the defense will offer a small amount of sur-reputtal, and then the way will be clear for the argu- ments of the attorneys, which will take about one week. It was a bad day for the defens The evidence of two of their chief witnesses was almost destroyed. Mary Siemmering and William Charles, Luetgert's business partner, were the sufferer Witness after witness came on the stand and swore that when Mary Siemmering had denied that she had admitted improper relations with Luetgert she had not told the truth. They said she had admitted it and in the most unequivocal manner. Mostof these wit- nesses were members of the Grand Jury which had indicted Luetgert, and their evidence was crushing. Tney all told the samestory and the most desperate efforts of the delense could not shake ome of them. Prominent business men who haa dealings with Cnarles and bankers with whom he had done business swore that he could not be veiieved underoath and told of shady business transactions with which he had been connected. 1n this case, 25 in that of Mary Siemmering, the defense made frantic efforts to savs the character of their witness, but were not sable to accomplish anything. . The crowd at the Criminal Court build- ingz was larger than it has been upon any other morning during the present week. Hundreds were turned away, disap- pointed and angry. Never before in Chi- cago has the interest in a murder trial been sustained from start to finish as in the Luetgert case. ‘When court opened the police officer, Charles Griernow, was called to the wit- ness-stand to testify to certain dates of material events in the case in contradic- tion of witnesses for the defense. Wiltiam Fulbeck, Luetgert’s former hosler, testified that he missed Mrs, Luet- go-rton May 1, but said notking unul ay 3. “Then I asked Mary Siemmering where Mrs. Luetgert was,” said the witness, ““What dia she say?” inquired State’s Attorney Deneen. “‘She said Mrs, Luetgert was upstairs in bed,”’ responded the witness. Attorney Phalen tried 10 get Fulbeck to change ihe date to a day in the latter part of April, but the witness was obdurate and clune to his original statement. Luetgert’s heavy features, which had been contorted by his habitual frown, augmented by physical pain, caused by an atmospherica! change, relaxed some- what as he caught sight of Mrs. Christine Feldt. He smiled, then an expression of scorn shone in his eyes. Mrs. Feldt' was in court to-day to con- tradict the evidence of Mrs. Mary Charles relative to the rings worn by Mrs. Luet- gert. Mrs. Charles empbhatically denied on the witness-stand Tuesday that she had ever asked Mrs, Feldt to say, if ques- tioned, that the rings found in the vat at the Lueigert sausage faciory were not the ich had belonged to Mrs. Luet- gert. day Mrs. Feldt, with equal emphasis, declared that Mrs. Charles aid request 1 er 1o deny that she ever saw the rings bef Mrs. Feldt refused to do so. She said to-day tue rings were those of Mrs. Luetgert. She was po-itive. Police Matron McMahon of the Chicago- avenue station was placea on tha stand to deny Mary Siemmering’s story that she had been subjected to humiliating treat- ment when she was placed under arrest and brought to the station. Matron Mc- Mahon declared it was uatrue that the young woman was dejrived of all her clotbing in her cell, as she bad said, and that a policeman had stoud guard at her cell door while she was without raiment. Then came a horde of wiinesses to im- peach William Charles, Lueigert’'s busi- ness partner. Mr. Charles sat in the courtroom and he heard his reputation assailed right and left. He heard his reputation for truth torn inio ribbons, and while these were flaunting in his reddened face his ears were greeted by the harsh toned of former business associates, who questioned his integrity. Abram Selig, who bought the grocery department of Luetgert’s sausage factory for $800 at the Sheriff’s sale, testified that he found 159 boxes of soapin the store, and that much of it was “scrub soa This was brought out to show that Luet- gert did notneed to make soap tocleau the factory. The State will close its case to-morrow. Judge Tutbi:l will adjourn court until next week. Judge Tuthill will leave town for Nashville, where he will be orator of the day at the exposition on Saturday. The trial will be resumed at 9:30 o’clock sonday morning with sui-rebuital. Luetgert was moved to deep sub-cellar profanity in the County Jail to-day by the visit of a professional hypnotist, who asked Luetgert’s permission to hypnotize him. With a ricnly flavored German oath Luetgert observed as he stood behind the bars: *If I was out there on the corridor I would hypnotize you with one poke on the jaw. I'd put you to sleep, and good and plenty, you humbug.” APPOINIED BY /HE PRESIDENT, Two Dewspaper Men Among Those Sent dbrond as Coemrwln, WASHINGTON, D.

Rumors of the Withdrawal of Van Wyck Revived by the Retire= ment of Rupperts Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK. N. Y., Oct. 7.—There is every indication that the Republican rati- cation meetin: in Cooper Union on Satur- day night will be a great success. There will be only two speakers, but they will be men to whom the audience will want to listen as long as they will talk, General Tracy and Senator Josepa Benson Foraker of Ohio. The meeting was postponea from to-morrow night until Saturday night, partly because Senator Foraker could not get here before Saturday. The Tammany situation remains the same. Judge Van Wgyck, nominee for Mayor, joined the Croker-Sheehan confer- ence this afternoon, and the rumor that he was to be withdaawn was instantly re- vived. It was promptly denied, but in view of the Ruppert withdrawal, Tam- many denialsare no longer accepted as settled facts. It was said that Van Wyck bad come to consult with Croker aboat the make-up of the county ticket and the selection of a .man to take the place of Ruppert. But it was evident there was a good deal of uncertainty among the lead- ers who flitted in and out of the confer- enceroom. Some of them admitted that they would not be greatly surprised at anything. The most important political events of to-day were the yielding of Richard Croker to the demand of nearly all the other Tam- many leaders that the nomination of Thomas F. Grady for District Attorney for New York County be not forced upon them, and the withdrawal of jacob Rup- pertJr., Tammany candidate for President of the Council of Greater New York. This ticket, prepared by the executive commit- tee, was subsequently nominated by the corumittee: Sueriff, Thomas Dunn; Dis- trict Attorney, Asa Bird Gardiner; Reg- ister, Isaac Frommes; County Clerk, Wil- liam Sohmer; Supreme Court Judges, Francis M.Scottana C..arlesH.Van Brunt; City Cour: Judges, John A. McCarthy and Edward F. O'Dwyer: President of the Borough, Augustus W, Peters; Coroners, Edward L. Fitzpatrick, W. W. Hart, Jacob E. Bauch and Antonio Zucea. The Republicans of New York County to-nizht nominated this ticket: Judees of the Supreme Court—Charles H. Van Brunt and Thomas Allison; Judges of the City Court—Elisha K. Camn and Henry C. Boetty; Sheriff—Thomas L. Ham:lton}; County Cierk—James R. Osborne; Regis- ter—George H. Van Schaack; District At- torney—Willlam Olcott EREAT INGREASE IN THE EXPORTS From Present Figures This Year Promises to Be a Record-Breaker. During the Month of August There Was a Marked Decrease In Imports. Special Dispatch to THE CALL WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—The Bareau of Statistics has issued a table showing the exports and imports for August, the first full month under the new tarift law. These figures show for that month the largest exports of domes- tic merchandise of any August in the his- tory of the Government, T exports were $79,490,264 sgainst §66,689,981 for August, 18%. For the first eirht monibs | of the year the exports were $61,810,000 in excess of the first eight month- of 1896, so that the bureau officials believe that the exports this year will far exceed those oi iast year, which was its record-breaking year in the matter of exports. The value of all imports for August was $39,848,312, of which $18 629,607 were free. These fizures show a decrease of about $10,000,000 beloew those of 1896. The de- crease was due to a heavy reduction in the importation of raw wool, which decreased from $4,651,000 pounds in August last year to 2,877,877 pounds last August; manufaciured wool from $3,709,000 to $639,000; wood and manufactures thereof from 1,963,600 to $1,271,000; manufactures of cotton from $2553,000 to $1,623,000; manufactures of jute. flax, hemp, ete., from $2,221,060 to $999.289; iron and stee! from $1,766,067 to $887,344, and sugar from §5,340,000 to §2,956,000. 1he following table shows the balance of trade with the several continents: | Exports to.

Attempts Made in London to Organizs Syndicates to Buy the Road. It Is Belleved, However, That the Property Wiil Be Secured by the Reorganization Committeé. Speclal Dispatch to THE CALL LONDON, Ex6., Oct. 7.—The following message has been received in reply to an inquiry of the Consul-General cabled to Attorney-General McKenna: “To to the Consul-General of the United States, London: T e Union Pacific has not been sold to the Schiff syndicate. It will be sold to the highest bidder on No- vember 1, McKENNA.” Itislearned that there have been sev- eral sttempts to organize a syndicate here for the purchase of the Union Pacific Rail- road, but none of them thus far has se- cured important financial backing. CHICAGO, ILr., Oct. 7.—A Journal spe- cial from Washington says: After many conferences between Attorney-General McKenna and ex-Governor Hoadley rela- tive tothe sale of the Union Pacific Rail- ‘way it appears that the road will without much deubt be knocked down to the re- organization committee fora sum approx- imating $50,000,000. OMAHA, Ngpr., Oct. 7.—The approach- ing sale of the Union Pacific Railway, its probable purchasers and the likelihood of changes in the present management are the topics most discassed by local and other railroaders to-day. It is practically conceded that the reorganizalion com- mittee is going to purchase the property, | and the only big question that remains to engage the attention of those fond of pre- diction is who will be the new president. A man who is very familiar with the work of the reorganization committee said this morning: “I believe Mr. Clark will be the president if his health will permit.” That is the consensus of opinion, and most railroaders are inclined to believe Winter will be offered the place should Clark not accept ir. . A query that has agitated railway cir- cles for some time is the future of the Kansas Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific branches in Kansas. At Union Pacific headqnariers in this city it is be- lievea by those supposed to know, that the Gould interests will buy the Kansas Pacific and will operaie it in the future in connection witn the Missouri Pacitic and Iron Mountain Railway system. This, it is argued, is the most natural division for the Gould system and Vanderbilt inter- ests both of which are represented in the Union Pacific reorganization. The men who take this stand in their predictions say that the Vanderbilts will take the Union Pacific and overate itin | connection with their other railroad in- teresis. It is not believed that the Union Pacific will be made a part of the North- western system, but will continue to be operated with close traffic alliances with the Northwestern and other Vanderbilt raiiroads. It is pointed out that the Vanderbilts, although they own railroads from New York !o the Missouri River, have alwavs run each railroad separately, with nothing more than close traffic con- nections with the other lines. A promi- nent official of a Vanderbilt line said the Union Pacificand the Northwestern would never be operated as one railroad, and many other circumstances corroborate that statement. FRINCE OF HOTEL BEATS CAUGHT. Gibson, Alias Slra:in—, Also Found Time to Swind-e Henry C.ews and John Wanamaker. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 7.—Captain McCluskey to-day arrested Emmet C. Gibson, otherwtse George A. Snerin, who McCluskey declares is the ‘‘prince of hotel beats.”” While beating many hotels, east and west, he has lately victim- ized many prominent men, among them John Wanamaker and Henry Clews. Gib- son, according to the police, by means of forgery, bogus cnecks and dealings in stocks and bonds and playing his wiles upon first-class hotel-keepers during the last few years, has succeeded in getting and spending in the neighborhood of $400,000. *‘This Gibson is a prince of beats,” said Captain McCluskey. ‘He won over even Henry Clews. door in the Mills building. When he had worked himself into Mr. Cews’ good graces he calmly laid down with him a $100,000 check. Mr. Clews cashed it only to discover how worthless it was, but Gib- son had gone. A padlock was puton his office door. Gibson met Mr. Wanamaker in Philadetphia some time ago and swin- dled him out of several thousana dollars.” — - POWERS” PLAYS NOT COPYRIGHTED.

The Heavy-Welght Will Make San Francisco His Home in the Future. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 7.—Joe Goddara, the Australian heavy-weight, who is matched to box Tom Sharkey at San Francisco next month, arrived in this city this morning from England on the steamer Cunada. Assoon ss he set foot on American soil the fichter was inter- viewed by a CALL correspondent regarding the coming mill in San Franci:co. He said at once that he was firmly convinced that he could whip Sharkey. He says Kid McCoy is a liar. Goddard says he is determined to fight Fitzsimmons and that he will follow him until he gets at him—this, of course, after the Sharkey fight. Goddard aims for the championship and says he is going to get it, too. Though Goddard has been in America before this is his first visit to Boston. Goddard isin pretty fair condi- tion, feeling hrst rate, is full of confidence and nerve and at present weigns about 206 pounds. Goddard will probably make America his future home and he told THE CaLn man that San Francisco would undoubt- edly be the spot he would select for his residence. There is plenty of money, he says, in Australia, but those who have it will not let it 2o, so he can see no reason for staying there. Johannesburg, where he spent a num- ber of months and from whick city he went to Engiand about a month ago, is dead as far as boxing is concerned. Dur- ing his stay in South Africa Godaard made good money and he can now back himself against any one for $15.000, Though Goddard is a fierce fighter, he is one of the most pleasant fellows outside the ring. There is nothing about him that wouid give the uuninitiated an idea that he is a fighter. Heis a good talker onany subject, and has none of the swag- ger or tough ways of some fighters. He is confident of defeating Sharkey, but does not think he will have the easy time that people believe. He admits Sharkey is a tough castomer and that he will not have an easy work of putting him on the shelf, but he has no doubt of the outcome of tue fight. Referring to *'Kid” McCoy, he said to a CALL correspondent: “That fellow has been teiling a lot of untruths about me since he came to Amer- ica. His taik that he offered to bet me 500 to $10,000 in South Africa isa lie. I offered to bet him any amount that I could stop him in ten rounds, but he wanted me to make it four rounds. I would be a {00l to agree o any such thing. The people of Johanne-burg were sore on Lim when he left for home, and they had goou reason, for he did nol treat them right. He did not make the money there that he has been telling you Americans he did. Peter Jackson, I am satisfied, is gone, but if he really intends to fight again, I would like 1o get first chance at him.” ‘When asked if he had made any plans Goddard said: “I think I'il make San Francisco my home. After I get through my contess with Sharkey I am going after” Flizsim- mons. He has no right to refase me a chance at the championship after I defeat Sharkey, and he won't dare to doit; I'll make him fight me. I don’t think he'il refuse when he sees that I really mean business. 1'll post a big forfeit, all my own money, and challenge him to fight forany amount. I do not blame him for ignoring Corbett, for the latter treated every one the way that Fitz is now treat- ing him.” **'What kind of a boxer is ‘Tut’ Ryan, who is expected here next Saturday?-’ “Heis a good one,” repiied Goddard. “I have meat bim a couple of times and he made the going very rugged for me.” Goddard left for New York this after- noon to meet his manager, Billy Madden. Before leaving ne said: “1 shall be glad to get to San Francisco. That's a great town, and I know that there will be great interest in the match. If I gt a fair show I shall be satisfied, but of course I expect to find a big Sharkey crowd at the ringside, but they can’trattle me.” REGRETTED ERRORS An Old Letter Shows That He Was Sorry for Attacks on Americans. Admitted Rashness In Publishing Those Crude and Most Bitter Tirades. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 7.—In view of the comment occasioned by the dis- covery that the name of Thomas Moore was omitted from the roll of poets in the Congressional Library on the ground that he bad vitterly attacked Americany, and particularly Thomas Jefferson, a letter written by Moore in 1816, twelve years after his American poems were published, to the editor of the Philadelphia Port- folio, is of great interest in showing the poet’s change of attitude. The original letter is in the possession of Senator George Hoar, who has given it to the Worcester Gazette for publication. In this leiter the poet says: *“This life is just long enough to commit errors in, bat 100 short to allow us time to repair them, and there are few of my errors I regret more sincerely than the rashness I was guilty of in publishing those crude and bearish tirades agamnst the Americans. My sentiments, hoth with respect to the national ana individual character, are much changed since ihen, and I <hould blush, as a lover of liberty, if Tallowed the hasty prejudice of my youth to blind me now to the bright promize which America affords of more, better and u happier order of things than the world has ever yet witnessed. If you but continue to be as zood republicans as we in Europe seem determined to be good royalists, the new and the old worlid need soon have no other distinction than the hemisphere of freedom and the hemi- spuere of siaves.” 2 Sl To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
