THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1S97T. FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS GIVEN Revised Value of the Life of a Poor Man's Son. Third Trial of the Suit of Loren Fox for His Child’s Death, Three Thousand Dollars Less Than the Verdict Rendered Years Ago OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsCO CAry,) 908 Broadway, Oct. 28. § The trial of the damage suit brought by Loren Fox to recover from the Consoli- dated Railway Com- pany for the killing of his son five years ago was conciuded before Jndge Greene to-day. The testimony in the case was very short compared with that | offered at the two pre- vious trials, and this time the value of the 1ad’s life is fixed at $4000. This afternoon the arguments were made. Major Fred Whitney and ex- Mayor Chapman appeared for the plain- tiff and Robert M. Fitzgerald for ibe defendan The leading argument on bzhalf of Fox was made by Mr. Chapman. Althouzh not referring directiy to the opinion ot the Supreme Court, which held thatit vas not reasonab'e to suppose the boy would have nroved of a value to his father equal to $6000 belore arriving at the age of 21, siull he did show tne jury that Justice Van Fleet's decision Was uppermost in his mind. Mr, Chapman’s conciuding words were as follows: ‘Reason- able diligence on the part of varents does s not presume that pa rents must have ther children incessantly in their arms, or lesd them by the hand. The law does presume that it is the duty of all concernea to siiow reasonable diligence in conserving the general welfure of the general public. In this case we have proved that reasonable diligencs was not shown on the part of the company, and | we nave also proved that the mother ot the child did do all that can reasonably be expecied of a parent. n this case all we can ask is $5000. I would to God it were the law of the land that we could ask for ten times that amoant, but, gentlemen, such is not the law. Mr. Fitzgerald’s remarks referred to the o= Guestion of damages a~ much as 1o the question of neeligence. He claimed that permtting {a voung chiid 4 years of age to be unattended on tbe street upon which electric cars were author zed to travel conid not be construed as rea-onable diligence. The jury was in- siructed at great lengtn by the court at 4 o'clock and retired. Avout an hour later they returned with a veraict for $4000. The- verdict of the first trial was ior §7000, and 1his was set aside a techmcality. The second jury arded damages for $6000. Judge Van Fleet said the amonnt was too large and sent it back for re-trial. CHANGES. POSTOFFIO . CE John L. Meares and A. M. Cox Pro- moted for Meritorious >ervices. The changes predicted some time ae~ n Tue CarLL to be made in the Fostoffice were announced yesterday by Posuma..cr Montague.

A Novel Religlous Body Holding Its Annual Meeting. The conference of a unique refigious body is now in session at Gospel Hall, 832 A Howard street. The members are known as “brethren,” or direct followers of Christ, and claim to be the only frue| Coristians of the present day. Their meetings are heli pur without form and with no visible head, Christ in the spirit being recognized as the only ruler, The New Testament is taken as the guide and ritual in ail things, and the belief is that Christ will spiritually preside at anq direct all meeiiugs and deiiberations u(' the body until his second coming, when be will take his place as the actual angq | v.sible head of the brotherhood. _ The meetings are opened with the sing- ingofa hymn at the sugeestion of any brother. "Then there is a brief pause until some one feels himself directe: 1o preach or pray. There are no regular preachers connected with the brother- hood, but many of the membvers go ‘orth from place to rlace as did the disciples in olden times, preaching and baptizing as FOOD.

The business is now in the hands of the Shenff, but a meeting of the creditors will be neld the last of this week and the case will be presented to them for action. P. N.

Banker Crook Tells Them What to Do and What Not to Do, Haywards Would Like the Institute for One Year to 8how Its Hospitality. The feature of to-iay’s sessions of the Teachers' Insiitute was the speech of Banker J. E. Crook of Haywards, Mr. | Ciook is president of the board of trus- tees of the Union High School of that town. Trustee Crook was introduced by Presi- dent Garlick as & “model trustee, who would teil teachers a lot they should do.” | Incidentally Mr. Crook paid s bhigh | compliment to the generosity of the mer- | chants of Qakian . He said: “I have been ching these institute meetings for some years and envying Oak- land their possession. I we had you at Hsywards at least one year we would try to entertain you as well #s the OQakiand business men do. Of course, we could not keep up their lavish yearly entertain- | ment, but it wouid not hurt us much for one year, These Oakland business men are wealthy, enterprising and energetic, snd have » keen eye to business, hese :nstitutes embrace much of the brains and culture of the couaty, and so those business men naturaily desire that there shouid go out into the countya #ood report of their public spirit and hos- pitality, hence the excursions on the bay, | grand balls, iree tickeis to the theaters, banque:s, etc, “Of course the good tcachers of this city entertain you as best they can in | their delightfully social way, but when | the business men here take hoid of a thing it goes through regardless of ex- pense. This excess of hospitality is what makes the county teachers get their win- ter overcoats and spring bonnets in Qak- Jand instead of San Francisco. ‘*After your appointment as a teacher the first thing vou do call on the local cditor and pav him $2 for bis paper. They are usually weekly papers. This will be the best invesiment you can make in that town. You wiil hencetorth be spoken of as a very able educator and yonr class will be pointed cut 1o the community as a model one. Try it. “Avoid idle gossip. There are in every | community s few gossipers and they d | like to have a woman come in and inter- business. They never for- ne who does so ints | Above ail do not, I beg of vou, criti | find fault w vour fellow teachers. dislike exceedingly ‘eachers, no matter | what their merits otherwise, who carry i1l reports of their fellow teachers to either principal or trustee. ‘‘Ican honestly say that while some- | times obliged to listen, such information has never been of the least service either to me or the school, except it may be that the informer found another school, sooner or later. Do the best vou can in your room and vou will find your reward eventu- ally. Ot course, you will not forget that this is from ‘the standpoint of a Trustee. ““Now, about ihe church, and wh bad policy to mix up church and St yet I feel a little acvice on this subje might notdo ary harm. If you ieel like going to church dv so. If you do not de- sire 10 go don’t do 1 am speaking now of strangers in a strange piace. Inmy opinion your calling as an educator is quite as high and noble as that of any minister of the Gospel. Indeed, in the country towns in which I have livea churches are incidental to schools and education. In my opinion educatisn is | the thing and the only thing, too, for the uplifting of the buman race.” Dr. Joseph Baldwin, Mrs. Florence D. Jackson and Dr. John Gamble were the | other speakers.

Whnen asked about the maiter to-day Mr. Hilborn said: *Itis not true that I have linked my political ambitions with those of any other candidate. Neither bave I been asked or approached by any ome to enter intv such an agreerent.

The Singers Applauded Last Night by | a Large and Representative Audience. in a certain sense a spe- music- lovers at- tended the California Theater lastnight on the occaslon of the second of a series of three song recitals by Mr. and Mrs. George Henschel. The programme, A large, and CavrL, was one.of distinction and variety, and in interpretation it found the same felicity that marked the success of Tues- day night. It would hardly be possible to over- praise the work of the Henschels. They attempt nothing that does not bring cut the best of their art, and they are notably versatile. The final concert 1s announced for Saiurday afternoon, but probably the enthusia-tic success of last nignt will per- suude Mr. Henschel to give a supplemen- tary season. San Francisco always has taken more or less pride in her appreci: tion of the be t, and, in their own artisti- cally unique sphere, the Henschels are unapproached. —_———— WILL PURCHASE PROPERTY. Socialistic Nominees Will Make 'Them- selves Eligible to Offics, The members of the Socialist Labor party have been very much annoved lately over a story which has been going the rounds of the public with reference to their candidates for Freeholders. At the county convention a full ticket was put in the field, but as ail the candi- dates are not proporty-owners in the city, and therefore not eligible to candidacy, 1t | was reported that the County Committee | ha! agreed with a prominent firm of real | estate dealers to furnish these candidates with one inch of ground, thus circura- venting the iaw. This story was emphati- cally denied by one of the leaders of the rty, who said: | Such a story as this altogether ridiculous, and we are very sorry it was ever started. On our ticket there are perhaps two or three men who do not own property in the city, but it will be alto- chase land for them, as they were nego- tiating for the purcnase of property before | there was any tak of naming them as candidates. In case they do not purchase uny proverty they will simply resign, and | the committee on vacancies will name others in theirstead.” — THE KELSO OASE. Defendant Moved to Quash Proceedings in Court. R. Percy Wright and E. L. Foster, coun- sel for the John Kelso Company, charged with having violated the Federal eight- | hour law in excavating the Postoffice site, | argued Wednesday before United States | District Judge Morrow the motion to quash the summons citing the company | They argued that there was no such proceeiaing known to the common law or to tie Federal law as a summons to bring a corporation into | court to answer for a criminal offense. | Assistant United States Attorney Knight made a sirong argument on behalf of the Government. He quoted a case directly | in point—namely, a decision of the Su- | preme Court of New Hampshire,-handed down in 1842, wherein the Boston and | Montreal Railroad Company was brought into court by a summons similar to the oné in the Kelso case. The case was taken under advisement, —_———— GOULET'S ASSAILANTS. Preliminary Examination of Bert C. Grey, George Rowe and Charles Keily Commenced. The preliminary examination of Bert C. Grey, alias Miller, Georze Rowe and Charles Kelly, three boys, on charges of assauit to murder and robbery was com- menced before Judge Conlan Wednesday afternoon. Isidere Goulet, the old man who was the victim of the trio, was not able to ap- The most important testimony was that of George Rowe, one cf the defend- ants, who has turced State’s evidence. He detailed how Grey planned the rob- bery, telling bim and Kelly tbat the old man usually carried from $75 to $100 in | bis pockets. Grey arrangea on the night of the robbery that Rowe was to knock the old man down with the iron bar and rob bim while he and Kelly would keep a lookout. Rowe detailed getting the signal from THE BALL GAME ON SUNDAY: Both Van Haltren and Harper madea big hit by their clever work in the box hool.” An excel ent musical pro- | for Macdonough and Kale and Edwards for Balewia, baseball game at Recreation Park last Sunday. In the coniest between the Olympics and Reliance next Sunday Van Haitren will do the twirling for the nine | 13 irom across the bay. Matt Stanley will be the receiving end of the battery. Stanley's throwing to bases is a revelation. With- out much effort he plants the ball squarely in the hands of the baseman. The make- up of the Reliance nine, with possibly an exception, will be the same as it was in last Sunday’s game. Reliance is hopetui of being the winning team at the end of the tournament, thus realizing the handsome sum of money which is rapidiy accumulating in the hands of ex-Mayor 8. N. Rucker of San Jose, 5 per cent of the gross receipts in each game being placea in his charge to be given the winnin: nine at the end of the series. The Olympics will play the same men asin the game with Reliance before, and where the score was 4 to 0 in favor of the men from Oakland. it was a ereat game; alivegame, played by live players, with = live ball, on live grounds and before a live crowd. There was nothing mournful about it. It did not partake of those melancholy, funeral- appearing, sepuichral-inspiring condi- tions, which always pervade a game played with a two-bit dead ball. The na- tional game can only be played witha Na ional League ball. It is equally as nonsen ical to play bascball with a dead balt as to play cards wit' out a deck. Wheeler and Ford will be -the battery for the O ympics. The local nine has been hard at work practicing for this second pout with Reliance. To-day at Central Park teams from Mac- donenzh and Baldwin theaters will cross bats. Game will be called at 2 o’clock. The batteries will be Wattrous and Shra GENLI PERSIAN AND TURKISH RUGS AT AUCTION!

Then he robbed him of his purse and watch and lifted him uo on the steps.
