The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, October 19, 1897, Page 2

o & THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1897 Channel streets was moved into it. In- candescent electric lights were putin the building a short time ago to be in readi- ness for the short winter days, as the factory hands work until 6 o’clock. It was through the careless handling of one of the bulbs that the disaster which | killed Mary Beck and injured the others isdue. From the stories of several of the girls it appears that James Eva, superin- tendent of the works, was trying the lights. One of the incandescent burners did not appear to work well, and he took off 1he bulb to examine it. It slipped from -his hand and tell to the floor. The hot glass ignited the pow- der scattered there, and though Eva at- tempted to stamp out the sparks with his foot be was unable to do so. Some of the girls in the taperoom who saw the sparks throuch the open door raiseda a cry of “Fire!” There was a mad rush to the door outside of which were the stairs leading to the ground. Just as the foremost girls redched ‘it there was an explosion fol- lowed by a rush of flame. The walls of thabuilding flew outward and the whole structure collapsed. At the first alarm Blanche Barber and Emma Steffens rushed for the elevator in N 1 the spinning-room and let themselves to the cellar floor, escaping uninjared. After the first explosion there was a sec- ond, and then the flames poured out and communicated to the other buildings. William Tregsy, the engineer, wasin the engine-room at the time and he was blown out on the ground, dazed and bruised. Two young men who happened on the scene soon af ter carried bim away from the burning ru:ns. Nora Murpby was caught in some of th2 falling timbers was also Mary Amsler. The second explosion released as the latter and she hastened to the as-| sistauce of, her friend. With a bravery that is remarkable she tugged at the half senseless girl while the flames poured out singeing ner hair and burning ber hands. She finally got Nora away from the wreck, but she was not vet out of danger. Her companion was so weak that she fell three times, and with a strength born of her love for her shopmate the heroic 18-year-old girl half d and half dragged her friend away from the danger, It was oaly after she had attended to her friend that sbe thougbtof herself. She- was assisted to her home in Ocean View and a pbysician, who had been sum- moned, bandaged her arms and dressed the burns. James Eva managel to get out of the building without any serious injury, for he was pear the door and made his escape., - It is believed that Mary Beck, whose back was toward Eva, and who was una- ware of thedanger, was either blown down the elevator shaft or was rendered sense- less by being siruck by a piece of fiying timber. Her cries were heard fora few minytes afier the building coilapsed, but it issupposed the life was crushed out of her he heavy timbers, thus mercitully sparifg ber the agony of being burned alive. The firemen from engine 33 at Ocean View were summoned, but they could do nothing, as the ruins were in flames and there was no water available. No effort was made to get the body out, for it was deemed useless. The Chinese were panic-siricken and acted like a lot of maniacs. They rushed into. the bunkhouse and attempted 1o save their belongings while the hous: was beiug rapidly consumed above them. The arrivai of three young men from Colma brought them to their :enses, and they were driven out of the house and their clothing thrown after them. Foreman Baldwin was burnel seriously about the hands. Feiix Gailagher and James Ryan were among the number who eseaped without injury. Theé in- jured were taken to their homes, and Drs. McLaughlin and Vondree made them as comfortable as possible, The noise of the explosion attracted a large crowd from Ocean View and Colm a, but they could do nothing. William Tregay was seen at his home in Ocean View. He was in considerable pain from the fractured ankle bone, and wasdisinclined to talk about the accident. “All I know 1s that I was in the engine- room, and before I had time to think of anything, I was thrown out into tne street. Itried tocrawl away, but con'dn’t. Some younyg men assisted me ana got me home.” Nora Murphy was lying in bed in her bome at Ocean View, suffering se- verely from 1nternal injuries received by beinig thrown to the floor by the con- cussion. “f was in the taperoom, spooling tape,” she said. “All I know is that the fire broke out suddenly. Somethicg hit me in the head ana aimost siunned me, “I ran for the door, and just as I reached it the floor pave way and we all wentdown, I wascauzht under some of the lumber, and though I struggled hard to free myself could not. Had it not been for the help that my brave little friend Mary Amsler gave me I know I would bave died there. ‘She dragged me out and I tried to ‘walk, but I'was so weak and injured that 1 fell. Mary did not desert me. She dragged me up, but I fell a second time, and then 1 fell again. Finally Mamie got me out of danger.” The sick girl's eyes filled with tears as she told of ihe devotion of her brave friend. Nora Murphy was one of the new girk in the factory, having gone Lo work there Jast Friday. Mary Amsler, the heroine of the ex- plosion, was sitting in the dining-room of her mother’s home in Qcean View three hours aiter the explosion. She had ber rigkt arm in asplint and there were bandages about her hands and around her neck. Her face was blistered and her hair was singed, but she looked comfortable and chatted pleasantly with friends who called to inquire after her. “I wag sitting in ihe taperoom facing the door_leading into the spinning-room and «aw Mr. Eva working at the el-ctric light. He took the buib off and then I suw it drop to the floor. Immediately the sparks started and he tried to put them out witu his foot. - If he had used his coat I think he could have put the fire out, “When I saw the fire I started for the door. Nora Murphy was in the far corner of the room, but_she reached the door as soon as I did. Bejore we could get out the floor gave way and I was tbrown out on the ground clear of the fallen building. Nora Murphy was caught by some of the timber and couldn’t get out. “I ran to ber aud pulied her free and tried to help her, but she fell. 1 had 1o drag her for she couid not stand up. She fell threetimes before L got her awav, but at last I succeeded, ana Iam that 1did. I wanted to save N did nut think about the others.” The heroine is a small girl, and it seems like a miracle tnat she was' able 1o per- lerm such a deec as she did. Amelia Hamilton was more seriously injured than any of the others. Her clothing was literally burned off her. She was one of the girls who were in the top room when the flames burst out, and she appears L0 have peen in the midst of them, ca; Her story of the explosion did not differ from the accounts given by the other girls. on after the catastrophe James Eva went to his home-in the city. He stated that the exposion was caus:d by the droppine of an ineandescent bulb upon some inflammable material. L zzie B ck, a s ster of the girl who was buried beneuth the ruins, brought the sad news to her mother. Mrs. Beck hastened to the scene of the fire, hoping that the intelligence was not true, She was heart- broken and sobbed piteously when she seemed to realize the trath. Her son, who accompanied her, took her home. At the time of going to press the coal- house was still burning. The fuseworks was nothing but a muas: of smoldering ruins, beneath which lies the charred body of Mary Beck.

Hughes, correspondent of Black and White of London, was found lying dead on the Prado, in this city, on Thursday night, He recently visited Pinar del Rio, with a pass from the Military Governor. A party of Bpanish guerrillas, however, maltreated and robbed him of everything in broad daylight. Ragged and starving, he eventually managed to reach Havana. Having jst his passport and other papers he could neithar establsh his identity nor cable his friends. Tne British Consul wes unable to assist him, and, being practically a stranger, he existed on the streets until he was found by the police starved to death.

SCAROEDER Charges to Be Made Against a Professor at the Cath- olic University. Teachings That Have Caused Mem- bars of the Faculty to Shun the Instruc or. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—A special from Washington says: The arrival here this morning of Archbishop Corrigan of New York, who comes to attend tne annual meeting of the board of directors of the Catholic University, marks tue beginning of a fight. The question of the retention or re- moval of the Right Rev. Mgr. Schroeder, professor of dogmatic theology in the university, will precipitate the trouble. When the directors meet an array of for- mal charges will be preferred against tue distnguished German divine. These charges emanate from certain | professors on the executive commitiee, who for years have stubbornliy resisted the tendencies of the Monsignor to ger- manize the methods of the university. Back of them, however, are said 10 be Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul and Bishop Keane, former rector of the umversity, who are poth bitter opponents of Mensig- nor Schroeder. Italways hes been charged that the in- fluence of Professor Schroeder with the aged Cardinal Ledochowskv, prefect of the Coilege of Cardinals in Rome, was the prime causs of the deposition of Bishop Keane. Archbishop Ireland and the so-called Amer.can wing of (he Catholic hierarchy have never forgiven the German professor for the downfgll of the popular predeces- sor 10 Mgr. Conaty, the presenti rector. But the central figure in the controversy is the metropolitan of the Archaiocese of New York. Charges against Manage r Behroeder are already prepared. The princial indictment against him is that he 1s persona non grata 1o his colleagues in the fecuity; that for nearly two years all of the prolessors have been forced to treat him as 2 stranger; that in view of this he has severed himself from univer- sity lile and is on generally bad terms with his lfellows; ihat a man in this positicn cannot be capable of devoting his whole power to the good of tne institution. = —— WILLIAMS’ TRIAL BEGUN.

Over Seven Hundred Thou- sand Acres Revert to Uncle Sam. Orangs and Lemon Culture of Scuthern Ca'ifornia Depends on the Raservation. Special Dispatch 10 THE CALL. WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—A case of great importance in Caiifornia decided in the Supreme Court to-day was that of the Southern Facific Raiiroad against the United States, involving the ownership of over 700,000 acres of land known as the Atlantic and Pacific forfeited lands. The case was brought b2frre the United States Supreme Court on appeal trom the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for tne Ninth Circuit. The land involvel is in Southern California, and the United States claimed the title to it, alleging that the Atlantic and Pacific Company in Cali- fornia had not complied with the condi- tions and requirements made in the grant of 1886 and which grant was for- feited in 1886. The further qu:stion was raised whether naving besen s, forfeited to the United States and restored to the public domain they were subject to be taken by the Southern Pacitic Railway Company by a grant made later, tecu- nicaliy known asa “‘junior grant.” The Court of Appeals decided unanimously in favor of the United States. The decree of the Circuit Court for the Southern D.s- trict of California was to the same effect and gave the Government a jud gment for all the lands sued for, they being em- braced in the following two classes: 1—Lands within the primary limits of the grant to the Southern Pacific Rail- road, overlapped in part by tbe granted limits and in parts by the indemnity lim- j1s of the Atlantic and Pacific. 2—Lards witnin the indemnity limits of the Southern Pacific grant overlapped in Part by the granted limits, and in par: by the indemnity limits of the Atlantic and Pacific grant. The Supreme Ccurt to-day affirmed the decision of ths Circuit Court of appeals 0 far as it conc rusthe raiiroad company, but remanded 10 the lower court for de- cision in the case of about 200 persons who bad purchased part of the lands from the railroad. The Government, by the act of Uon- gress of 1891, set as e the greater part of the lands as a ‘‘orest reservation,’’ for the benefit of the public and especialiy for the people of California who ure de- pendent upon irrigation. The greater part of the nge ana lemon culture of Southern California de- pends upon this reservation to protect its waier supply for irrigation, LITIGATION IN STORE. The Goverrm n: May Su> the Southern Pac fic for Millions Go® From Land Sales. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18.—By the de- of the United States rendered to-day in the case of the Southern Pac fic Company vs. the United States the interests of 800 or 900 settlers in Ventura, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties are effected una about 700,000 acres are involved. It may also result in that corporation being sued for several million dollars by thée United States. Ever since the Atlantic and Pacific grant was declared forieited, the Southern Pacific has been se'iing oft the lands it thus claimed and at the present time there is littie of the disputed area left that is worth anything. Most of tha' which now reverts to the people is said to be fit only for horned toads, ratile- snakes and cactus. The revenue derived from the sale of these land~ has gone into the coffer« of the Southern Pacific Company ana ata Jow estimate amounts to several millions of dollars. To this it is claimed the Gov- ernment has a technical right, and 1t may eventually bring suit to recover from the corporation. Congress has already passed an act pro- tecting those who purcha:ed from ihe Southern Pacific, but the eflicacy of tie act i8 now in controversy. ‘Tne landsin qu on lie along the line of the Southern Pacific between Ventura and Yuma, and much of it has been highiy improved and even become sites for flourishing towns. Some of it is covered by the :owns of San Fernando, Burbank, Yomons, Spadra and Cucamonga. Senator White, who is thoroughly familiar with the controversy, made the following explanation of it to Tre CALL correspondent to-day : “Judges Sawyer and Ross some time ago decided that the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Uom;lny had forfeited their land grant, and not only did they. fail to assail the validity of the Southern Pacific grant but held that the latter wa« goou as agaipst the United States. The ma- jority of the Supreme Court reversed the decision and tne c: was remanded to the Southern California Circuit Court. Afterward the case, which had thus been passed upon, together with another suit involving a much larger tract of land, was submitted to Judge Ross and, fol- lowing the Supreme Court, he decided that the Bouthern Pacific had no title whatever o the property invoived. “The difficuities which aret us vigitea upon the Southern Pacific are very unfor- tunately shared by numerous purchasers frorh that corporation. It has veen tie policy of the Southern Pucific for years to avoid an application for a patent unul the making of a sale to a third party.’” FIERY SEA GF OIL Springs Ablaze in the Center of the Gil-Producing Region of European Russia.

Must ‘Answer the Charge of Burglary Preferred by Yee Gee. Entire Machinery of the Treasury Department to Be Exerted In Thelr Behalf. Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL. PORT TOWNSEND, Ot 18—Dz J. E. Gardner, Government Chinese Interpre- ter, and C. E. Lewis, Special Agent of the Treasury Department, are constructively tehind the bars of the Jefferson County Jail in Port Townsend. That is the way itis putin legal phraseology. Asam ter of fact they are in Seattle, to all ap- pearances free men. They had a hearing here to-day on a charze of having en- tered, without a warrant of law, the house of one Yee Gee and robbed him of valuatle books and pavers. They were bound over to the Superior Court for trial with bonas fixed at $1000, waich were fur- nished. This is but another chapter of the famous Chinese smuggling case. In order to procure evideuce acainst the alleged ring Special Agents Whitehead, Cuilom and Lewis and Chinese Interpre- ter Gardner swore out a scarch warrant that gave them access to the house next door to Yee Gee's home and then en- tered Gee’s place and capiured a lot of his private books and papers which were used asevidence against him in the hearing of the smuggling cherges. When Yee Gee was discharged from custody by Judge Hanford he swore out a warrant charging them with robbery. A truce was arranged with Yee Gee's attorneys whereby the treasury agents were spared the humiliation of actually going to jail, alttough an order of com- mitment was issued and delivered to the Bheriff and they were nominaliy in his keeping, 1t beiny the desire of their tor:ey to make an effort to have them re- leased on writs of habeas corpus. United States District Attorney Brinker, wno appeared to-day as counsel for the accused Government agents, admitted that he did'so by direction of the Attorn. Genersl, and says that the entire mach:n- ery of the Treasury Department and th~ Department of Justice will be thrown to the delense of the accused men. Brinker's motion for the release of the men will, he asserts, bring up points never before raised in behalf of treasury agents in their secret work, and is slaied on the records as foliow Because the acts charged against the de- fendar is do not constitute any crime nor of- tenseagainst (he laws of the United States nor ngainst the laws of the State of Washington, and that the sei acts charged against said de’ 2 ts at the time alleged were committed, 118t all, by the said def-ndants us officers and agen.s oi the United States, acting under the laws of the United States and while engaged in the exceution of lawful process, issued by an officer of the United Siates pursuant to tue laws of the United State MYTHOLOGY IN EDUCATION. Dr. Griggs of Stanford Favors its Use in Developing the Child’s Mind. HANFORD, Oct. 18. — At the an- nual session of the Teachers’ Lustitution of K ngs County Dr. E: H. Griggs of Stan- ford University delivered a lecture on “The Use of Mythology in Education.” His address was an able presentation of the great value oi the use of mythology in de- veloping the mind of the child. Primi- tive mythology, he said, gave vitality to all art. Whe great painters and sculptors went to mythology for that inspiration that made them famous. Writers did the same. Dante, Bhakespeare, Tennyson drank of the fountain of mythology, and thus became in touch with humanity. Mythology differs from the general fund of fiction. It was not direct history, vei in many countries long befora there was any written history Yradition inciunded the whole thought of the nation. Dr. Griggs favors the use of mythology in educating the child, because it taught him the first prineiples.

Land Peeled Potatoes in the Rear of the Hotel He Now Owns. Csp'tal City Politic'ans Comment on Stephens’ Pub'ished Interview. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 18 —One mark of distinction which is a most commendable feature of the Republican mnunicipal ticket lies in the fact that every nominee is & man who, in the strict sense of the word, is seli-made, William Land peeled rotatoesunder the back stairway of the hotel he now owns. A. A.de Ligne was a messenger-boy, and his scant earnings went to the support of a widowed wmother. Charles K. Lirman started out to battle with the world at the age of 12 years,when he worked asa cashbboy in a San Fran- cisco store. Paine and Pemish are Sacramento boys and have had to work fora living from their earliest days of boyhood. H. L. Frast and Pail Douslass, Wach- horst and Panataker were all poor boys when their struggle begun along the high- way of humanity. Chariey Robertson and Captain Young are not exceptious, and, as siated at ihe outser, every nominee on the Republican ticket owes 10 no one his snccess in life. Not one among them had a single yard of his journey paved by any one but himseif. Not a single stone was turned, not a sin- gle obstacle removed by other hands than their own. No silver spoons or luxuries of wealth were theirs to begin witn, and each one of them who can now boast of a competency can do so with the satisfac- tory feeling of one who has honestly earned every dollar he can call Lis own. With such men it is safe (0 trust the ad- ministration of municipal affairs. The many lavorers employed in and ar.und the departments of public works may feel that, with such men at the head of our city government, a faithful service will be appreciated, a good record re- warded. There is much comment in the city to- day cver the interview with Mr. Stephens published in to-day’s CALL. “Upon what meat does this our Casar feed that he bas grown so much better and purer and greater than otber men?” asked a prominent Democrat to- day. “He didn't come in, eh, until a gr at cry of dissatisfaction arose against all the other nominees? The probpie flocked to him, did they, as the only man in SBacramento who could gracefully and properly biing respectability 10 the Muyor's robe? Doyou want to know who flucked to him?’ continued the excited Democrat. “Well, I'll tell you—a hand- ful of men who have never drawn an easy breath since they were born. They are men who are never saustied with anybody or anything when com.ng Irom any quarter but their own. Why is Steinman for Stephens, I'm ask - in’ you? For thesimple reason that heis wi.d at Land, on account of recent evenis, and wiluersuill at Hubbard on account of alittle election episode which took place abouta year ag). He wouldn’t come over to Leonard for like reasons; so there you are. He is benind Stephens, for no other reason than his desire 10 see both Hub- bard and Land defeated. Stephens will be third in the race, and you take my word for it, “*Who will be first? Leonzrd, of course.” But as iesaid it, this prominent Demo- crat winked the other eye. A friend of Hubbard who does not wish to have his name mentioned spoke as fol- lows: *I shoult not think thatan old po.itician like Russ wo speak as he did, 1f reported correctly in to-day’s CALL. Taere was no necessity of his saving that there was a generai feeling of dissatisfac. tion with Land ana Hubbard. It is perfectly natural that some d ssat- isfaction should arise—that would be true whoever was nominated — but to say that it was general is, in my opin- ion, putting it rather sirong. Ithink that among Repuvlicans in general, W.lliam Land wa:, and is, acceptable. 1think that among those who supported Hubbard two years a:0 he has lost none of his popu- larity, and while a few of his supporters may have gone to Stephens, there 1s by no means a feeiing of dissatisfaction which is general. Mr. Stephens, I think, will find this out on election day. *Those who were with Hubbard two yeaurs ago are, in the main, witn him to- day. The Republicans as a W .ole, will support Land. Leona:d wiil carry his party vote. Now, ifyou will tell me what is left for Ruus I will be obliged 10 you. Iam not much of a politician, but I some- times figure a little, and my figures are very discouraging to Russ.”” Tue friends of Lnd are litile if any dis- rbed over the prospects, and a plain and candid and correct estimate just at this time places Land undoubtealy in the lead. —_—— CONSUL-GENEKAL AT TANGIERS.

He said that Mrs. Schofield told him on the of the shooting about a heavily mornin ] bearde man shooting at Schofield through the door and then hanging around the house alt night and throwing rocks at the house and calling, *You bau better come out. If I don’t get vou to- night I'il get you in the morning.” He said Mrs. Schofield said the sound of tae voice came from the hillside and the rear of the barn. 3 Mrs. Schofield said the shouts con- tinued all night. She told the witness that on the morning of the murder she gotup with Schofield. They went to the front gate together, and then Schofield went toward the barn, She then went in- side, and was in the kitchen when she heard a sbot and saw her busband fall in front of the woodshed. At the same time a man ran from behind the shed and dis- appeared in the brush. He seemed to be disguised. Schofield, when he went out that morning, announced his purpose to look for the man who had shot at him the night before. She went out, she said, to protect him. At the time her husband was killed she was building the fire. On reaching her husband’s body she saw the murderer again at the corner of the barn. The only remark about Dutcher made by Mrs. Schofield was that when she screamed on seeing the body of her hus- band Datcher came out of his room en deshabilie. The witness said Mrs. Schofield told him that Schofield went for his rifle after the evening shot was fired, but, asit had no cartridges and be could find none, he took the gun and would have gone out but for Ler objections. After the shot was fired, Mrs. Schofield said, she went in and locked the door. Sheriff Lvndon, Ben Patron and E. J. COrandall were then called to the stand in their respective order. Their testimony was unimportantand corroborated inparts the foregoing. Mrs. M. V. Collins, a stenographer, tes- tificd as to Dutcher’s testimony at the in- quest over Schofield’s body at the ranch near Madrone. Duicher’s stcry of the killing was similar 10 that related by Mrs, Schotield 10 Price. Bennie Fourcade, an 1l-year-o.d boy, who resides near the Schotield place, was the next witne: “I know Dan Dutcher,”” the little fellow said clearly and composedly, “and I re- member the day Schofield was killed. I saw Dutcher the day before this side of Schofield’s house about 9 o'clock in the moruing. Irving Mann was with Dutcher. Tney wera going to fix a fence and had an ax with them. Dan Dutc.er said he was going to kill Mr. Schofield if he tried to whip ber (Mrs. Schofield) again.’’ On cross-examination he ~aid: “l have lived on the Uvas seven or eight years, The time when I met Dutcher might have been 8 or10o’clock. Isaw Danand Irving come out of the house. They walked along with me a ways. I think they told me other things, but I have forgotten what they were. They came out of the house and I asked what the matter wasand they said Mr. Schofield had jasttried to kill his wife, but did not say how he tried to kill hes e rving Mann told me Mr. Schofield had just tried to drag his mother to tne bedroom to kill her. Dan Dutcher sai¢ he wouid kill Schofield if ne again tried to kill Mrs. Schofield. They told me that when Schofield was dragging his wife to the bedroom Irving Mann tried to get the gun and Schofield kicked him and knocked him down.”” The witness said Irving Mann told him that at the break- fast-table Schofieid had hit Mrs. Schofield with a cup in the face. Here an adjournment until to-morrow was taken. B:CKED OFF A HIGH GRADE. Unmanageable Horses Cause a Fatal Accident on an Oregon Road. MARSHFIELD Og., Oct. 18.—Ex- Judge J. H.

A cut in an artery means death if it 1s not stopped. That may appear an exaggerated statement, but itisnot. Itis the secret arteries that bring most of the fatalities that we deplore. A man is as fairly dead when he loses all interest in things gen- erally as if he were buried. And he is wise who sees to it that he is pot on tne road to the living grave.
