INSILTS ADDED T0 I\ RY Business Men Protest and Are Assailed by the Bulletin. Talk of Presenting the Matter to the Grand Jury. Fifty-Six Firms Represented at a Meeting to Consider the Grievance.

I do not want my name mentioned, for I do not want to have to commit battery on some fellow for writing a batch of lies concerning me. Caught with the spolls of robbery in its possession, the Bulletin now agrees to make restitution. Crothers did not attend the meeting of the Mer- chants’ Association at the Mills build- , but sent an apologetic letter in which he agreed to settle with individual members and refund money unjustly paid. The business manager was present, and the way he was cross-questioned by the victimized merchants was a caution. Fifty merchants attended the meet- ing and the discussion lasted for two hours and a half. The Call was men- tioned frequently and highly com- srended for its course in protecting the mercantile community from the raid- ing schemes of the twilight thief. Thursday evening the Bulletin sought to blacklist a score or more of the firms seeking redress and thus prevent 2 large attendance of the wronged merchants. The threat proved a boomerang. It was regarded as adding insult to injury and caused increased interest in the meeting. “Did the merchants show any signs of weakness under the Bulletin's threat?” was asked of one member of the association who was present. “Not the slightest,” was the reply. “On the contrary, they showed more strength and evinced a firmer deter- ination to fight the Bulietin to a fin- ish. The business manager was in an awkward position. He was sharply in- terrogated, and when he tried to laugh down the tumult of indignation the metrchants were angry indeed. He was confronted by the men who were robbed and those from whom the paper had sought to fraudulently obtain money. He was compelled to describe how the bunko game was worked from the inside and how many men were employed in the execution of the fraud. At first he declined to state the num- ber of sharpers employed, but finally confessed that eight men were hired to do the job. It was decided to name a committee to represent the victimized merchants. This committee next Monday will sub- sent out, in lett o in- | _ | and submit the ultimatum consists of y to char- | 1 by the sheet as | HENRY GRAY TO WED A DENVER SOCIETY LEADER. !

There was much talk in the meeting of presenting the mat- ter to the Grand Jury. The committee appointed to prepare William Metzner, Q. A. Chase and Dr. Charles S. Haley. There will be a | meeting of the committee next Monday | forenoon and every account will be | considerea. The fact has come to light that sev- eral merchants paid after theéy re- ceived the threatening from | Jennings, the legal 1 ¢ engaged by the Bulletin to co! ney from | the so-called advert The money | | s0 paid must be refunded. The com- | | mittee will insist on such payment. | | Confession and restitution must go | hand in hand. In fact, Crother: | letter to Mr. Dohrmann ¥ throws up his hands. He will also remember that I ad ou agreed that the better way | be that these parties come to the | individually and we will each case, and if there were grounds of complaint adju: to their satisfaction. You will a member that in stating your own c you inforrned me that you had p: { the amount in question and w speaking for the others. I replied t the fact of the payment was imma rial. The Bulletin would not permit an injustice, but that if any were found, if paid, the money would be re- funded.” The foregoing sentence is slightly awkward, obscure and ambiguous, but the English is so much better than that commonly used in the Bulletin | that the reader can guess that Croth- ers intends to refund money. Information was received from an authentic source last evening that the | proprietor of the Bulletin was begin- u | d and | ning to see things in th proper light. Feor the first time since his | recent troubles began he was | convinced that the merchants them- | selves were the first to complain | against his paper. He had all along supposed, so he said, that The Call was | responsible for all 4he remonstrance | and indignation. Now being conv ed | | that The Call is not responsible for his | bad’ plight, he is willing to make an | end of the whole controversy by re- | funding all the money he collected on | | account of the bunko contracts and | make no claims on accounts unpaid. | _One can hardly credit the statement | that Crothers could have been so shamefully deceived and betrayed by | the men who have had his confidence, but the story comes to The Call very straight. The Bulletin’s assault last evening caused many of the merchants who | were at first inclined to temper justice with mercy to recommend investigation by the Grand Jury as suggested in the language addressed to the business manager of the paper at the meeting of the Merchants’ Association yester- day forenoon. The twists and turns of the Bulletin are grotesque. Its accounts of yester- day’s meetings is full of contradictions. In the opening paragraph it said {that “the meeting was in no sense a | meeting of the Merchants' Association | nor was it called by that body.” In the same paragraph it mentions the name of the president of the associa- tion as the presiding officer, and also { mentions the name of the official sec- retary of the association as the secre- | tary of the meeting. | _Further along the Bulletin says that the management of The Call urged the | business men represented to the action | they have taken. The truth is that | the merchants called the meeting on { their own motion, and that the.call for | the first meeting was issued before The | Call published a line of the robbery. It was said incidentally in The Call | yesterday: “There was a period in | the history of the Bulletin when a half | million dollars placed for its conductors on the side of infamy and dishonor | could not as much as tempt them to | ewerve from the path of journalistic | honor.” | The Bulletin can only conjecture | what this means. Since the Bulletin | wants to be enlightened the light will | be given. When the Bulletin was con- | ducted by Fitch and Pickering it did not hold up the Republican State Com- | mittee and demand money for sup- | porting the National Republican ticket. | It did not promise merchants a free write-up and then charge them a dol- lar a line and threaten a lawsuit If they did not pay instantly. The Bulletin, under its present man- agement, sought to hold up Frank Mc- Laughlin, chairman of the Republican State Committee, and when he re- fused to pay the money demanded, the paper turned about and reviled the committee. The Bulletin, under its present man- agement, employed a string of solici- tors to promise a hundred or more merchants of the city a free write-up of their respective business establish- ments. The ink on the paper iwas hardly dry when the Bulletin sent its collectors, backed by an attorney, with a demand that each merchant men- tioned should instantly pay $1 a line. Fifty-six merchants of San Francisco will subscribe under oath to the truth for obtaining money under false pre- | ten es. Is that lucid? A. Hooper, of the house of Hooper | & Jennings, was too clever for the bunko gamester. The lines were nicely lajd to take in the firm, but nothing was ornamented with the much-de- sired “O. K.” The firm got a notice and paid the sum stipulated. C. B. Parcells, agents for safes, at 6 California street, will not pay $59 which | the Bulletin demanded. He has the let- ter from the Bulletin management in | which an absolutely free write-up is | promised and will stand on that docu- ment. He has not yet received a threat- g letter from the Bulletin’s legal t, d the chances are that no at- tempt will be made to coerce him. Mr. Parcells did net attend the meeting of the Merchants’' Association yesterday. Conradi & Goldberg, at 730 Montgom- ery street, did not send a representa- tive to the meeting of the Merchants’ The firm r“ld’ » after the attorney made a threat of 1 proceedings to collect the money. The firm holds Crothers’ receipt for that sum. Conradi & Goldberg under- stand that the money will be refunded.

The Union Bible Class at the Young Men's Christian Association, Mason and Ellis streets, conducted by Rev. George C. Adams, D.D., will resume sessions to- of this charge against the Balletin, and some cf them are ready to go before the Grand Jury and demand that the proprietor of the Bulletin be indicted day after the holiday vacation. The class meets every Saturday from 12 to 1 o'clock, and is instructed on the Internationai Sunday School lesson for the following Sabbath. It is open. free to all, At the outset the preacher drew a well-defined parallel between the an- cient and modern preacher. “‘One must understand the evolution of the ancient priest to the modern rabbi to understand the subject fully. ““We can tell from the complexion of things that the rabbl of to-day is not the successor to the anclent Jewish priests who were buried beneath the ruins of the temple of Israel. The rabbi of to-day in the strict sense of the word is merely a teacher. “The ancient Jewish priesthood was composed of the greatest minds of the nation—men who were educated in every department of learning, science, literature, poetry and the liberal arts. The nearest type of that old institution, the Jewish antiquity, 1s the Roman Catholic priesthood of to-day. It is the only institution that resembles closely the old Jewish socletyof priests, Not even the modern rabbl can come so0 closely to that ancient society as the Catholic priesthood. Before the destruction of the temple of Israel the priest was the intellectual head of the Jewish people. He was the custodian of that indestructable wisdom of the that they should give up their lves without any of the benefactions of the people, without being ridiculed and made the butts of rude jokes?" Dr. Voorsanger traced the profes- slon of preachers from the early ages down to the present day; but he re- marked that in no creed had he seen such a society of gentlemen and schol- ars as were enrolled in the Roman Catholic priesthood. “Give me an army of four hundred intelligent preachers of the right kind,” he said, “and I will go out into the world and I will sweep castes and sects before me until not a vestige of them appears.” ——— New Commission Corporation.

DELAYED BY LIGHT WINDS A Fleetof Overdue Coast- ers Reached Port Yesterday. Some of Them Encountered Heavy Weather and Several Were Damaged. Arrival of the Torpedo-Destroyer Sparrowhawk on Her Way to Esquimalt. Light winds and calms have kept a big fleet of coasters outside for over a week. Yesterday, however, the clerk of the weather turned things around somewhat, and at noontime a steady breeze was blowing from the north at the rate of twenty-four miles an hour. Early in the morning the wind came from the west, but at 9 a. m. it chopped around to the north and blew a forty- mile breeze; at noon it was only twen- ty-four miles an hour, 'and at 4 p. m. there was almost a dead calm. The change in the weather was a godsend to the coasters, and over twenty of them seized the opportunity and made port. Several of them are the worse for the storms encountered, but all are still in the ring. Among those that got in were the ships In- vincible and Yosemite, barks Gatherer and Harry Morse and the schooners Volante and Lily. The ship America took Pilot Alex Swanson, but the cap- tain would not accept a tow. Conse- quently when the bar was crossed and the wind fell light the ship had to be put about, and Captain Swanson head- ed her out to sea again. The Morse, Yosemite and Gatherer, all of which made unusually long passages from the Sound, took tows and reached an anchorage early in the day. The captain of the Yosemite reports that on December 30 he spoke the schooner Wing and Wing with her rudder-head gone. She was then be- ing steered by means of a log, which ‘was being towed astern. The schooner was in no immediate danger, and her captain said he required no assistance, but wished to be reported. The ship Invincible encountered a succession of southeast gales, during one of which she shifted her cargo of lumber to starboard. The schooner Volante took nineteen days to make the run from Tillamook, and ran out of provisions. Durine a heavy southeaster her deckload of lumber was carried away, and H. Jan- sen, one of the sailors, went overboard with it. Luckily he reached some of the lumber that had formed itself into a kind of raft, and it kept him afloat until a boat was sent to his rescue. During the same storm the main boom broke, so that the schooner had to work her way south under short can- vas. Provisions began to run short, and on January 5, when the Lily was sighted, the captain of the Volante The Lily gave them all the goods they wanted, and then both started for San Francisco, arriving the same day. The Volante could not beat her way in without the mainsail, so she had to anchor off the North Head until the tug Vigilant came along and towed her in. The old monitor Camanche is to be returned to the navy yard to-morrow. She will go up the river under her own steam but will be convoyved by the State tug Governor Markham for fear of any accident. Owing to the illness of Governor Budd the sloop-of-war Marion, that is to be the new home of the naval battalion, will not be brought down until the opening of the golden jubilee. She will then come down un- der her own steam, and on anchoring in the stream will fire a salute in honor of the occasion. Captain Debney of the City of Puebla went out in command of the steamer Queen yesterday. He has not been very well of late and he is going to see whether the Southern route will bene- fit his heaith. Captain Jepsen of the Queen has taken command of the City of Puebla and will take her out on her next voyage to Puget Sound ports. ‘When the crew of the steamer Moana and the men employed on the dock learned that the steamer would be delayed several days on account of the non-arrival of the mails, they formed a football club and every day, during the lunch hour, they have a practice game on Pacific street wharf. This will be their last day in port and the game on this occasion is to be for a dinner to be paid for by the losers on the arrival of the steamer in Sydney. ‘When the ball is kicked overboard it is nothing unusual to see two or three of the players go in after it and con- tinue the game in the water. On this occasion men, armed with buckets, will be stationed along the stringers so that the ball can be fished out in a minute. Yesterday Freight Clerk Fulger gave The "British torpedo destroyer Spar- rowhawk ran away from her convoy, the cruiser Phaeton, and. arrived in port yesterday unexpectedly. She made the run from San Diego in twenty-nine hours and then covered the 482 miles at only half speed. The Phaeton is not expected to get into port until some time to-day. The little steamer Yosemite, em- ployed by the Government as a light- house tender, broke down off Lime Point yesterday afternoon. The cap- tain set a distress signal and anchored until the tug Vigllant came to his re- lief and towed the vessel in to the Pa- cific-street wharf. NEW TO-DAY. The only genuina Hunyadi Watsr.
