12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1898 HAMMOND AND BANTEL [N A FIGHT Exciting Scenes in the Board of Educa- tion Rooms. Damages Amounted to a Torn Cravat and Of- fended Dignity. Other Directors Interfered and Stopped Any Further Hostilities. BARRINGTON RE-ELECTED. The Expected Upset Did Not Oceur. Committees That Will Act This Year. An exchange of uncomplimentary remarks between School Directors Bantel and Hammond, previous to the meeting of the Board of Education last evening, led to a personal - encounter that was as exciting as it was short. Bantel has been accused by his con- | | 1abeled freres on the board of not being willing to assist his brother directors when they wanted trifling favors for friends, and this has led to some little un- pleasantness. Hammond recently asked for the ap- pointment of a friend as a share of his patronage in the department, and it is said that Bantel opposed the appoint- ment. Hammond evidently believed that such was the case, for when the two met in the board rooms last even- ing he accused Bantel of being an ob- structionist. The latter made a hot re- ply and the fun began. Hammond reached for his opponent and succeeded in getting a hold on his cravat. Writhing to escape from the powerful grasp of his adversary, Ban- tel turned his back to Hammond, and the latter promptly planted a resound- ing kick on the seat of Bantel's nether garment. The scrimmage might have gone to still further heights had not other di- rectors interfered and stopped the pro- ceedings. They admonished the com- batants that such scenes would bring odium on the board and succeeded in calming the turbulent spirit: As both directors attended a banquet given during the evening by President Barrington, it seemed as if the un- pleasantness had been smoothed over. The meeting was called for the pur- pose of electing a president for the en- suing year and also for the purpose of arranging the committees serve for the same period. that will | Director Waller nominated Director | Barrington to succeed himself as presi dent of the board, speaking of his past | services in a eulogistic manner. Direc- tor Head nominated Director Derham. Director Barrington received ten votes, Director Derham one, and Director Carew one. President Barrington read an address in which he reviewed the work of the past year, touching particularly on the overcrowded condition of certain schools on account of the inadequate appropriation. The condition of cer- tain school houses was also severely commented on, the state of affairs be- ing attributed to lack of funds. Presi- dent Barrington spoke feelingly of the uniform courtesy and efficiency of the office force of the board, commenting on the fact that complaints of incivil- ity and discourtesy had been unknown during the year. Director Waller stated the position of vice-president was necessary in the department, and moved that the posi- tion be created and Director Carew elected to the place. Director Ham- mond nominated Director Head, who rose to a point of order, to the effect that as there was no provision in the rules for a vice-president such action could not be taken until the rules had been amended. On the president de- claring the point of order well taken Director Waller gave notice that at the next meeting he would propose an amendment to the rules to cover the matter. The following committees were then appointed and unanimously rati- fied. . Finance—Gallagher, Waller, Burns, Elementary—Waller, Ragan, Burns, Ca- rew and Drucker. Supplies—Bantel, Gallagher and Ham- mo) vening Schools—Ragan, Gallagher, Drucker and Ham- Waller and Derham. Printing—Carew, mond. Bluilding and Grounds—Burns, Drucker and C; rew. and Hygiene—Derham, ‘Waller Education—Ragan, Waller, ond and Armer. Janitors—Gallagher, Waller and Burns. Judicia Hammond, Head and Armer, Qualifications—Armer, Hammond and er, Armer and Burns. ller, Ragan and Bantel. d, Gallagher and Derham. The anticipated turning down of Di- rector Bantel failed to materfalize, the most important change being the trad- ing of the chairmanships of the finance and elementary committees between Directors Waller and Gallagher. After the session the board ad- journed to President Barrington’s home in a body and ate and drank his health. MINISTERS’ MEETINGS. Everything Was Quiet at the Re- ligious Gatherings After the Holidays. Perhaps the most interesting session of the ministers’ meetings vesterday was that of the Congregationalists, Rev. Dr. McLean read a most interest- Ing paper entitled “Sixteen days in a pew after thirty-six years in a pulpit.” The réading was very interesting, be- ing a review of his experiences while visiting the various churches in the East. .« Dr. Pond was presented with $1000 by H. G. Noyes to be devoted to the Chinese mission. There was an election of officers at the Presbyterian ministers’ meeting, those elected being as follows: Presi- dent, Duncan Monro; vice-president, H: Bouvier; secretary and treasurer, James Woodward; executive commit- tee, S. 8. Palmer, chairman, E. G. Mathena and E. E. Clark. It was also “‘quiz” day, and among the quizzes were “To what extent should minis- ters use their puipits on the Sabbath | City Cemetery against further | dertakers who have had a monopoly | ing peculiar note, written in pencil: | They have no cemetery of their own, day for the discussion of civic mat- ters, and what are the benefits to be gained for the kingdom of Christ?” The second question was “How can we best extend the work of the Pre: byterian Church within our midst? Both of these questions were discussed at some length by the clergy present. Revs. Farrand, Carson and Ed Jenks were appointed a committee to further evangelistic work in this city. At the Baptists’ meeting, Rev. Rob- ert Whittaker, of the State Baptist Missgion, spoke on “The Brethren of Our Lord or the Children of Mary.” There were reports also from the dif- ferent churches. The * ministers of the Christian churches decided at their meeting that all the pastors of the Christian churches around the bay shall meet once a month to confer cn matters of common and mutual interest. Steps were taken for concerted missionary work in this city. Revs. Berry, Gardner and Ford were placed in charge of the Morgan Tem- perance Saloon to help Mr. Morgan. The saloon is at 753 Market street, and will be run on a broader scale. The ministers of the churches had an election of officers, those elected being: President, Rev. F. Bomn; vice-president, H. Cordes; secretary, W. C. Schmutzler; treasurer, H. L. Dietz. BY THE STRYCHNINE ROUTE Peculiar Message Left by F. Nest of Los Gatos, Who Committed Suicide, Fred F. Nest, a ranch hand from Los Gatos, took his departure from the | world yesterday at the Baldwin House, 16 Ellis street, by the strychnine route. He had lodged at the place since De- cember 22. Shortly after 8 a. m. E. McKenazie, the clerk of the house, heard moans issuing from Nest's room. He opened the door and walked in, with a query as to the cause of the trouble. Nest confessed that he had taken poison. He died soon afterward. By the man’s side was a small bottle, “strychnine,” and clutched tightly in his left hand was the follow- German “You can get a description of me in yesterday’'s Examiner by Shirley Dare. This is more than I can bear.” On the reverse side of the paper was written: “I ask forgiveness of all to whom I | have wronged.” This latter sentence concluded: “‘Signed, F. Nest.” Nest seemed to be | of a jovial disposition, and no reason | is known why he should have com- mitted the deed. The article to which he referred was entitled, “How to Have a Complexion if You Would Be Beautiful,” and the Coroner is mystified as to why the sui- cide should have referred to it. There is a belief that he committed the act 1 while temporarily insane. The body was removed to the Morgue. UNDERTAKERS PERPLEXED The Closing of the City Ceme- tery Affects a Close Con- | tract. The Chinese and the Indigent Dead | Are Left Without a Fixed Place | in Which to Rest | The ordinance passed by the Super- | visors some months ago, closing the inter- ments on and after the 1st of January, 1888, has left out in the cold those un- of the Chinese burials, as also the Western Addition Funeral Directors, who have the contract with the city for the interment of the indigent dead. In the former case the Chinese are sorely pefplexed in their situation. and none of the others owning burial grounds are willing to admit the Mon- golian corpse into their reservations. | The awkwardness of this position dawned on the Mongolian mind yes- terday for the first time since the or- der went into effect, and to overcome the situation Attorney Charles Nagle made his appearance at the office of the clerk of the Supervisors in the aft- ernoon and tried to impress on Mr. Russell the fact that it was the duty of the Board to provide a cemetery for the interment of the Chinese since the city had violated its implied contract with his clients. Mr. Russell soon set his mind at ease by reading the per- mission under which the Chinese, as all others, were granted the privilege of using the city’s land for a-burying place. As the situation now stands the Chi- nese must find a cemetery where they can deposit their dead previous to their removal to the Land of the Ris- ing Sun. The case of the Western Addition Funeral Directors, who have the con- tract with the city for the burying of the indigent dead, is in a much worse position, as the funeral firm has a con- tract which will not expire until next July. At the time the contract was let undertakers had the privilege of in- terring the indigent dead in the City Cemetery without any expense other than that of paying a man for opening and closing the graves. As a conse- quence the undertakers bid against each other until the price was re- duced to $4 for each body turned over to the contractor from the city’s pub- lic institutions. Now that the City Cemetery is de- clared closed the firm having the con- tract finds itself in a financial dilem- ma. The sum of $4 will not go far in covering the expense of burying a man when the price of a grave has to be provided, and yet there is no help for the undertakers who put their bids in 80 low as to freeze all others out. The contractors are bound by a bond of $6000, with Dr. Henry Gibbons Jr. and Dr. E. E. Hill, both of whom have justified in the amount named. It was stated that it was the inten- tion of this undertaking firm to pur- chase a tract of land in San Mateo and set up a cemetery of its own in which the Chinese and the indigent dead may be buried. ————— Civil'Service Examinations. The Civil Service Commission has or- dered that the spring examinations for departmental, postoffice, custom house and internal revenue service be held at San Francisco between March 15 and April 25 of this year. Applications must be on forms prescribed by the commis- sion. Departmental applications can only be obtained from the United States Civil Service Commission at Washington, D. C.. and for the others from the sec- retaries of the local boards. All applica- tions must be filed by March 1. A deadeil il sa v Wants Property Back. W. J. Bernard is suing John F. ana Frances E. M. Bernard to set aside a deed conveying from Ellen F. Bernard, the plaintiff’s late wife, to the defendants some property on Harrison street. The plaintiff claims the lot was community property, and was conveyed away unlaw- fl;lly 1!‘;\“ dbe;ors his ‘:v-l‘;e's ‘lz;llh and after the defendants r mind against him. g POLICE PUT ON PENSIONS The Reason Given Old Age and Physi- cal Disability. Is Three Sergeants and Four Patrolmen in Re- tirement. Much Specuiat n in the Department asto Who Will Be Promoted From the Ranks. As predicted in The Call a few days ago the Police Pension Commissioners, at their quarterly meeting yesterday, retired three sergeants and four patrol- men owing to physical disability or ad- | vanced age. The sergeants were Cornelius Martin, Michael Fitzgerald and A. J. Houghtal- ing, and the patrolmen Michael A. Lof- tus, Michael Murphy, George A. Ander- son and Thomas McNulty. Sergeant Martin was born in 1827, and joined the force August 1, 1865. He has been for a number of years hack | inspector, and made a host of friends. Sergeant Fitzgerald was born in 1837, and joined the force April 1, 1868. He has been recently stationed on the water front. Sergeant Houghtaling was born in 1831 and joined the force July 19, 1870. He has been for a num- ber of years in charge of the warrant | department and was, perhaps, one of | the best known and best liked men in the department. The records of the four policemen are: joined the force May 1, 1870. Murphy— born 1833, joined the force August 30, 1870. Anderson—born 1836, joined the force November 30, 1877. McNuity- born 1842, joined the force May 22, 1878. Anderson has been incapacitated from duty for some years, and McNulty, through a blow on the head some time ago which affected his brain, has been almost blind. The retirements take place imme- diately. Previous to the passing of an act at the last Legislature the Police Commissioners had first of all, as was done in the case of Captains Stone Short, Douglass and other officers, to request them to send in their resigna- tions because they could not be put on the pension list until they had ceased from active duty. By the recent act the Pension Commissioners have the power to make the retirements, to take effect at once. There is considerable speculation in the department as to who will be selected to fill the vacancies for ser- geants. It is conceded that Owen Gor- man, who has been for some years As- sistant Hack Inspector, will succeed Sergeant Martin, but as to the other two a number of names are mentioned any one of whom through merit justly entitled to the position. It is expected that the vacancies Loftus—born 1836, | will be filled at the meeting of the Po- | lice Commissioners Wednesday night, | | and that the vacancy in the detective department caused by the promotion of Captain Bohen last April will also be filled. Corporal Ayers, who has been doing station duty at California street, was notified last night to take Sergeant Houghtaling’'s place as warrant offi- cer, and he will in all probability get his promotion as sergeant Wednesday night. He is an able and courteous officer and richly deserves to be pro- moted. WO PETERS MAY ENGAGE Big Heavy-Weights Are Ar- ranging for a Champion- ship Contest. Jackson Will Leave To-Day for His Training Station—Maher’s Condition. Peter Jackson will be the next heavy weight who will meet Peter Maher, the Irish champion, in the ring. In a quiet way correspondence has been carried on between the managers of the champion colored heavy weight of England and the Australias and the Irish champion, and articles have been signed by Jackson for a twenty round contest and forwarded to Maher for his acknowledgment. The contest will be held in this city if a permit can be had, but in case “the powers that be” should refuse permission for a bout of this kind the event will be pulled off at New Or- leans. Jackson is now satisfied that Maher means business, and feeling that he needs several weeks of careful training to condition himself properly for a contest of this nature, he will to- day leave for Joe Dieve's training quarters on the San Leandro road, at which place he will remain until cnl;ed upon to give an account of him- self. Tom Sharkey has an idea that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and will now remain in Vallejo until the National Club can assure him a promise that his prospective match with Jeffries some time in the iatter part of this month can be pulled off | with the sanction of the authorities. Billy Delaney, who is looking out for Jeffries’ interests, is perfectly satisfied to wait a few weeks, as he has every reason to believe that the Health and Police committees of the Board of Su- pervisors will grant the National Cllub permission to hold the contest in this city. There are thousands of people here who are anxious to see a bout between Jeffries and Sharkey, and they would welcome the news of a permit being granted to the National Club. Billy Elmer has departed on the State of California for Portland, where he is booked to fight Dick Case on Jan- uary 17 before the Olympic Club of Portland. The boxers will meet in a fifteen round contest for the light- weight championship of the Northwest. Elmer says that he is very sanguine of winning. ————— Socialists in the Western Addition, A series of meetings to be held by the Socialist Labor Party will be opened to-night in Franklin Hall, Fill- more street, between Sutter and Bush. The meetings will be conducted for the propagation of the principles of Social- ism, and the opening address will be made by M. W. Wilkens, who, since his arrival in this city, has taken a front rank among the advocates of Social- SAN FRANCISCO CALL.
