2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1897. ured terms those who have instigated the protest, Asan indication of how Mr. McKenna stands in California it is said by his iriends here to-day that before his dspar- ture for the t to enter the Cabinet he was tendered a banquet by the people of the State irrespective of party. Tais was followed by a ban: by mem- bers of the bar of Sain Francisco. Later Mr. McKenna was received in open ses- sion by the Califernia Legislature. There is no doubt that there would be serious trouble if a fizht were made in the Senate on the nominauon of Mr. Mc- Kenna. President McKinley would, it is said, consider it a personal affront to him- celf, and would so treat it. He knew Mr. McKenna many years before offe:ing him Lis preseat positions His almost daily contact with Mr. Mc- Kenna since the 4th of March ougbt to l:ave enabled bim, he will say, to judee of the qualitications of the Ca'ifornia man. He wili consider himself as a competent judge of the man end the situation. It is believed that much will be de- termined by the atiitude of the California Senators and it is not now known that have any more reason to oppose Me- a for the bench than for Attorney- General. The Attorney-General himseif thin ge Gilbert is at the bottom of the wnole matier. - POLITICAL OPPOSITION. The Northern Pac'fic Sald to Be A rayed Azainst McKenna Also. TACOMA, Dec. 4—It develops to-day that politics has much to do with the pro- test of Washington and Oregon lawyers against Judgze McKenna's appointment to succeed Justice Field. Attorney-General McKenna has stanchly upheld the civil service law. The politicians of this State, Senator Wilson included, oppose civil service, root and branch, There are many fat jobsin the customs and other branches of Federal service here which Republicans would like to fill, ousting the incumbents, mostly Democrats, where necessary. It is well understood 1n the Northwest that Secretary Gage also believes in put- ting Republicans on guard and has lent his powerful assistance in several in- stances in meking changes. Attorney-Gene:al McKenna has opposed this and by opinions and otherwise has rgidly upheld civil servi There has been friction bLetween Attorney-General nd Wilson R. Gay, recently appointed Federal Attorney for Washingten.- It is s3id McKenna. will oppose Gay's con- firmation. This friction was brought about partly throuzh the Attorney-Gen- eral’s refusul to remove Conrad Robert- son, Assistant Federal Attorney, who was found, by strict construction of the civil rervice law, to have practically a fee simple title 10 the office. This did not please Senator Wilson, Gay and other politicians, because they haa selccted ex-State Senator Claypocl to be Gay’s assistant. Gay wanted Claypool's assisiance in trying some important crim- inal cases last month, but Ilobertson still beid ctlice. Finally Robertson was pre- vailed upon to send in his resignation, effective December 1, and by this means Senator Wilson triumphed over civil sery- ice and Claypool was appointed. Since the protest was forwarded to Wash- ington many attorneys here have received copies of a printea le sting them, if they oppose McKe: 10 express their views in_writing and ward them to a Boston These letters firm of lawyers, were sent from Boston to Williams, Wood & Linthicum, atiorneys at Portiand, and th-m sent 1o attorneys through the orthwest. 1t is understood the jetters tent to Boston will be used in attempting to defeat Judge McKenna's confirmation. The Northern Pacific Railroad, for some reason, is suprosed to be opposing Me-. Kenna. Senator Wilson is considered iriendly to the Norihern Pacific interests, and Crowley and Grosscup, attorneys for the Northern Pacific, are credited with knowing us much about the protestas anybody, thouch they will not talk. Itis not likely Senator Wilson would support Judage H d in any event, »s tueir volitical interests have not been Identical. SPOKANE, D-r. 4. —When scen to-night Colo: John W. Feizhan said: ““I have no knowiedge of any deal between Wilson and Han:iord. On the contrary, I know that" Judge Haniord and some of his friends were not supporters of Sen- ator: Wilson. From my knowiedge of Judge Hanford, both as a man and as aJudge, 1 know that he would not com- promise himself as a Judge by entering inio a poliiical combination for his own advancem nt. That there is nothing in story I feel convincea, for a brother of udge Hanford was among the members from King County who vo'ed against Wilson. J son’s iriends at the capital during the session which chose the Senator, expressed the utmost surprise when told of THE CALL never heard of sucha| nd I surely would had There can be no truih in it, Hanford, a brother o: the Judge and a member of the lower House from' King County, voted agdinst Wilson.” e LAWYERS FAVOR McKENNA Tha Bar of San Francisco Almost Unzn mous in Indorsing Him for the Supremes Court. There is a general feeling among mem- bers of the Ban Franci-co bar that the fight against Judge McKenna is the out- growth of malice ana petty spite on the one hand and of political jobbery on the vther. The most casual inquiry among those who have known the distinguistied jur.st longest and best reveals the fact that he is véry povular wherever he is thoroughly kuown. The following are a few strong | opinions of representative lawyers who frein a postion to know most about the matiers at issue: General W. H. L. Barnes—I have known Judge McKenna jor about twenty years. 1 have the nighest respect for him in every way. S0 far s his appoiutment by the Presi- dent is concerned the President has known | Judge McKenna for two terms in Congress and he has been closely associated with him on the most important committee of the House, the Ways and Means Commi 3 Heappointed him Attorney-General and has had since the 4thday of March au opporinuity to kuow him and undecstand him. The ap- pointment is the President’s right. He is re- sponsible for it to the people, aud he under- sinnds, doubtiess, toat thuse Federal-Judge- suips are awardgd to the President and ne is held responsibl® for them. ‘1t the President desires to make that ap- pointment e anows more thananyb,dy else, wnd the opinion of Judges whoere chagrined because taey are not advanced and the judg- mentof inw ‘ers who have lost cases arc not worth consideriug lor one moment. They ate following in this case the usual course in California. In any other State if a high ap- pointmentis to te made everybody is proud of it and works for it. In this Siate success is the basis for attsck and libel In every possible form and 1 suvpose it will continue so until this generation passes away, and the soouer it gors the better. .Jadge Robert Y. Hayne—I do not a prove of this attack upon Judge McKenna. It is the same old siory. Wheuever a Califor- ninn has 4 chance of preicrment other Cali fornians set upon him ana try to destroy his chances. We shou.d have some State pride, There are only nine gllcen on_the Supreme Court and forty-four States. We ougnt to do everything in our power 10 keep up the tra- dition that one place goes to California. If we let it go the chances are we will never get it back again. There is no foundation for the case altempted to be mnde against Judze McKenaa. 1do not say that he is one of th great lawyers of the world, There arc very jew of that kind. I think there never hak beca a time that there were more than two— or at most threc—such men at one time on the Supreme Court of the United States. I think Judge McKenpa will make a fairly re- spec Judge—as £00d ns the ayerage man Who hins sat upon that bench—and in’ the pe- e J. 7. Moore, who was among Wil- | throughout | | eu 1ar local questions that come up from cali- | | fornia he can steer the court right. J. €. Campbell—I have known the Judge | for 15 years, and in that time 1 have had a fine chance tosindy him in every way. Bince he has been a judge I have had a great deal of business before him. 1 have found him nctive, painsieking and upright as a judge. Ihave no hesitancy in saying that I think he will fill the bill and thathe wili serve with credit to | himself and honor 1o the Siate. You can ses that thisis the opinion of the bar. Read the speeches made by leading Inwyers at (b6 ban- quetgiven him when he was appoiuted Attor- uey-General. They were uol, of course, re- | ported very fully in the newspapers, but I | Temember Yery distiuctiy that the best lawyers in this city, all honorat e members of the Bar | Ascogiation, saia that McKenna was an able | and upright judge. Judge J. F. Suilivan—Judge McKenna is | & conscientious, able and carefullawyer. He is | thoroughly honest, which is bestof ail. Itaoes | not require a mere technical lawyer fer that | exealiea position, but an hojest man of ‘some depth and knowledge of general principles. I think Judge McKeuna 15 fully quaiified to discharge the duties in an able way. Thoma: 1. Bergin—I believe Judgs Me- | Kenna's abilities arc up o the average o1 the members of tne Supreme Court. e himseif would not estimate himself as one of the most profound of living jurists, but it ix not necessary he should be such. He iss hard worker, & student, an houest man and & good lawvyer. Thet 1s enough. Ex-United States Dlstrict Attorney Charles A. Garter—He is an honest man | and 1 think he has as much ability es the | Cbicf Justice of the Supteme Court of the United States. George W. Towle—I have taken no inter- estin the contest, as it does not concern me persona:ly, but I think Mr. McKennu is a much vrighter mau_than he is generally given the credit of being. 1 can see no reason or ex- cuse for the traming of this protest A. N. Drown—I was at one time involved in a litigation before Mr. McKenna which was decided against me. and under such circum- stances I preier 1o say nothing about the matier. Henrv E. Highton—I think the vaciney ceused by Judge Field’s resignation should be filled by the ablest available lawyer in the United States, who hus not been an active | polftician, and whese leanings are Demo- cratie, 1do not think Judge McKennashould be appointed. His personnl character I be- lieve 1o be very good. Itis possible that he mny havo undisciosed capacily for the posi- tion. ButIdonot consider that he has so far exhibited the qualifications essential to a station than waich there is none more ex- | alted, and which should command the greai- est ability, the deepest learning, the widest | experience and the loftlest reputatiin in the | United States. Amidst the many projected | invasions of the constitution—such, for in- | stance, as the annexation of Hawati—the dis- trust of the judiciary by the people is growing | intense, and there 18 no more ominous sign of | | the times. 1f President MeKinley is wise, in | my opinion, the place of Judge Field w1 fillea by the ablest and most unexceptionable | man who ¢an be found, and not by & geutle- | man who has certaiuly not shown any s | fitness §ior the position, and whose anteced- ents have been largely political. g EXPEDITION TO MOMBASA.

Queer Antics Which Indicated That He Was Unbalanced Mentally. Specia. Dispatch to THE CALL BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 4 —When court adjourned this afternoon the Davidson murder case went over to 2 o’clock Mon- day. Tne defense is making a bard fight to sabstantiale its insanity plea. Evidence was introduced detailing queer or crazy actions by the prisoner prior to the time he murdered his wife, and even before the Werrington episode, which the defense is making such a stron - effort to prove was the final undoing of D vidson’s mind. J. W. Gaston, tormeriy of Denvar, knew Davidson in that city and Los Angeles. He testified that the prisoner showed signs of insanity when he resided in Den- ver, and that he belisve! the mun to be insane. Davidson was married in Den- ver to the woman be killed in Decerber, 1890. A picture of the man taken in that ¢ity at that time wes introduced. This picture showed a finely developed man, an d, apparently an ordinari.y intelligent man of the world. Davidson is quite the contrary now. Detective Hi l of Los Angeles, who was employed by Werrington to watch David- son duting the pendency of his damace suit, testified to all kinds of craszy antics by the pr soner. He saw him on one oc- casion butt his head azainst a telezraph pole, and again, zet on bis knees at his wife’s door and Kiss the mat. On Monday Davidsou will undergo a rigid examination for insanity Ly the local board of phy: ns, assisted by ox- perts from th ate easylums.

Suburban Trains of Detroit Meet While Going at High Speed. One of the Victims Is John Savage, the Superintendent of the Line, Epecial Dispatch to THE CArL DETROIT, Mica., Dec. 4 —Two subur- ban cars, carrying some twenty passen- gers, and both running at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour, collided on the Detroit and Oakland Electric Railroad at 10 o'clock this evening. The result was that three men were killed and a score of persons injured, several of them seriously. The dead: John Suvage, superintendent of the road. Charles M. Whitenead, motorman. John Kelly of Detroit, book agent. Injured—Frank McHugh, motorman, leg broken; Louis Harneck, seriously bruised; Mrs. John Doty, two ribs broken; aged mother of Mrs. John Doty, of Pontiac, badly crnshed and leg broken; John Riegel, Pontiac, leg broken. A dozen others were mora or less cut by flying glass and biuised. The exact cause of the accident is asyet in doubt. According to the schedule, a car leaves each end, Detroit and Pontiac, every hour, and there are three sidings along the road. To-day the cars were be- hind. The one bound southward for Detroit had passed an outbound car atthe switeh, two miles from Pontiae, the crew apparently being ignorant of the fact that anoher outbound car was approaching them less than two miles disiant. The weather was foggy and the rails slippery from sleet. The collision came near a gravel pit about midway between Pontiac and Bir- mingham, at the foot of two steep grades, down which the feted cars ran at full speed. The impact was terrific. Thecars were driven hulf through each other and crushed to pieces. Buperintendent Say- age Wwas 1n the motorman’s vestibule operating the outbound car. Both his legs were cut off and his dead body was frightiully mangiea. Motorman McHugh, who stoed behind Savage, narrowly escaped a simiiar fate. John Kelly was evidently the only pas- senger who saw the northebound ecar ap- prosching. He rushed for the vestibule door and he and Motorman Whitehead were struggling together o get ont of the deor when the crash came. Both were killed. Kelly’s head and shoulders were jammed cutof the vestibule window and his neck was broken. Whitebead’s head was cut open an | his chest crushed. Had it not been for the stout construe- tion of the -cars, it is doubtful whether any of their ocenpants wou!d have escape.l As it wae, nearly all of the fourteen vassengers in tl.e south-bound car suffered some injury. Some of the injured were taken 1o farmhouvses snd others brought to city hospital: MURDERER HOLINA STLL AT LARGE Kern County Officers Fail to Capture the Slayer of Ramos. Has Been Seen Several Times, but Not by the Law's Minlons. Special Dispatch to THE CALL BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 4.—Molina, the elayer of Ramos, is still at large, but from his acticns does not appear anxious to get out of the country. He was seen and rec- ognized about 9 o’clock yesterday evening near town walking along near a main thoroughfar: with his pistol in his kand. This morning some of his blankets and clothing and tobacco pouch were found in a cornfield a few miles south of town. They wero fully identified. A Portuguese stonevreaker saw Molina yesterday and talked to him, but did not know he was wanted for murder. He said the man did not seem to be the least concerned about anything., A nume ber of officers are seerchbing that locality and all around where the murderer has been seen, but for some reason they can- not get sight of him. A number of offi- cers are cut to-night, and declare they are going to have Molina before they return. It appears that Molina has never been more than a half-dozen miles from the scene of the kiiling eince it was com- mitted. e L3 Ll MUST REDUCE RATES. Transportation Competition by Way of Gu'f Ports Will Cause Rival Roads to Make Reductions. CHICAGO, Dec. 4 —It is possible that the Transcontinental roads will be com- pelied tomeet the same troubles that have caused the roads between Chicago and Missouri River points to reduce their freight rates. The arrangements that the steamship companies have made be.ween New York and Gulf o! Mexico ports from there 1o San Francisco with the Southern Pacitic have proven so satisfac- tory to shippers that it is altogether likely that they will send much freight in tbhat way 1f they are given equal rates via the district mail rontes. Freights ahipped by steamer from New York via Houston to San Francisco have been carried through in nine and a half darvs, whicn is fast enough for the average shipper, and with lower rates this method of retting freight to the Pucific Coast is bound to prove a sirong competitor of the straight rail routes. The western passenger men_are watch. ing the course of the Union Pucific with great interest and many ¢f them admit thatits course under lhe new manage- ment will, for the next few months, shape the course of its comyetitors, Some of the passenger men expect it to cut the rates and others are claiming that it will be bendled in a conservative manner, the men of ibe latter opinion being in ade- cided majority. It is edmitted on all sides that what the Union Pacific will as- sume toward the passenger associations will bave very much to do with the reor- ganizati on of the Trans-continental Pas- senger Association and with the future of lhrl Western Pussenger Association as we Gross earnings of seventy-nine railroads for the month of November were $9,118,- 056. an increase of a trifle over 16 per cent over the ug:regate earninys of the same roads for the same month of last year. DRANK AL THE NE WHISKY Herbert and Cleveland Enjoyed the Mellow Liquor. But the Ex-Secretary Went Back on His Invitation to Miss Richardson. Arid Then Cam2 the Squabble as to Who Shall Christen the Bat- tle-Ship Kentucky. Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL LEXINGTON, Ky.,, Dec. 4. — There promises to be some racy dévelopments growing out of the negleet of Governor Bradley to mske good the statement made by Hon. Hilary Herbert, when Secretary. of the Navy, to perrgit Miss Richardson to christen the battle-ship Kentucky, and exclusive circles in Washington, as we‘lv asin the bluegrass region, are anxiously | awailing a denouement. Governor Bradley to-day received a let- ter from his daughter, Christine, saying she would not allow him to appoint her sponsor for the new battle-ship, at she | does not wish' toembarrass him. Upon receipt of the letter the Governor wrote o Becretary of the Navy Long, giving him all the facts in the case, and requesting him to appoint a sponsor for the ship. It is believed the Secretary will appoint Miss Bradley. Ii so, she will accept the honor. Miss Richardson will not be appointed under any considerations, She was indig- nant to-day on reading the statement of ex-Secretary Herbert, saying they met at the home of a lady friend iu Washington, Miss Richardson was incensed at what | she termed Mr. Herberl's dishonest state- ; ment. She gave the interview, tion to her was not given ina | jest, as he intimates, but in earn- | his invi spirit of est, and was so understood by all presen at the celebrated Shoreham supper, given | by Congressman Bennett. She also gave out the following ieiter, which she savs shows Mr, Herbert to have been in earn- est: NAVAL DEPARTMENT, ] WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4, 1896.§ My Dear Miss Richardson: Please acc thenks for the bottle of 45-year-old w which came safely to hand. President Cle Iand shall taste it when I give my Cabinet diuner. 1 am afraid I shall not be able to | make good the eallant sveech to you aboul | having you christen the Kentucky. The | christening always takes plece when the ship is :aunched. I fear it wiil probably not be launched during my administration of this office. With best wishes, I am, very sincerely yours, H. HERBERT. Miss Richardson showed a letter from Congressmen Benuett in which he said: *“He (Herpert) is still profuse ir his com- pliments to the Kentucky belie whom it has peen his good fortune to meet. If you comply with the request of the Honorable Secretary of the Navy L am sure there is nothing in this vicinity you may not ask for.” Continving her interview Miss Richard- son said: “‘These extracts prove that Mr. Herbert understood tkat the invitation had been sincere and formal. Idid not consider that the old widower, in his dotage, who cannot remember honest facts in such a matter would be guilty of flatrering publicly by asking girls to christen battieships. Since reading Sec- retary Herbert's dishonest statement the contempt I expressed for the under- handed- petitions of the gallant Governor is but a trifle compared with my feeiings toward the ex-Secretary of the Navy.”’ Miss Richardson bhints strongly that there is sometbing back of a'l this which, when disclosea, wi'l make Herbert sorry he was so flippant. She says she sent the whisky and that Mr. Cleveland got his share of it. KcKINLEY AND CURRENCY. In His Message 7He Will Not Discuss in a Significant Way the Monetary Negotiations.
