THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1898. the Jubilee week; or if it will keep away at least until after Monday, the or if it must come, if it til Monday evening—that is most fervent prayer mounting from the Jubilee headquarters just now. If the aqueous imp of the skies can only be persuaded to turn his attention to the | farmers who need his services, to go and play in the country and leave the city to sunshine and celebration, the members of the par: committee, individually -and collectively, will chant a chorus of ho- sannas beside which a brass band will be silence personified. | question of weather 1s a serious K XERREXEKXEEEXE RN GRAND INSTRUMENTAL CONCERT AT WOODWARD'S PAVILION. 1P.

The most feasible way out of the ficulty so far suggested comes from Mr. Daniels of the parade committee. He thinks if it rains that every hall in the city within convenfent distance and capa- ble of holding any kind of a crowd, should be hired for the noon hours of the day; then a speaker or two speakers, or if there is a sufficient amount of talent handy, three or even four speakers, could be sent to each hall escorted by a brass band, and from every quarter of the city the patriotism and enthusiasm which would have been typified by the parade and which no amount of water can dam- pen, could be heard and participated in by the people, and the celebration could go along anyway until the exercises in | the afternoon took up the tide of jubila- tion. | The parade will be started by the ap- | pearance of an immense figure of Colum- bia, which will be outlined in fire five hundred feet in the air. It will be formed | by the explosion of a bomb discharged from the corner of Market and Sansome streets. As the line moves along its pat will be marked by showers of gold and silver, serpents of flame, golden dragons | and turtles and nd birds and all the known beasts of the air and the sea and | the field, and s, too, not so well known, and seen only on occasions of great festivit celebration, and even { then only by vored few of the most roistering celebrants. | “Day fireworks” will be responsible for | , and it will be a safe wager t the procession will be quite as in- | resting far above the housetops as it | will be down on the street. { | There is another fireworks profect on foot, but the question of funds is a more burning one than any fireworks can call | up, and 8o the committee is only talking | of it as yet. The idea is to have displays | of fireworks from three of the most prominent points of the city—Clay street | the old Woodward's Pavilion, and hurry | bled cadets during the drill hour this | and bustie tell of the preparations under morning and the student soldlers enthu- hill, Rincon hill and the Market street cut—at which “day fireworks” similar to those used In the parade can be set off. Such displays would be most effective and the cost for a display lasting over three hours would be but $200 for each station; but the $:00 necessary is not in sight and so the matter is awalting its turn. There are several other attractive feat- ures awaiting their turns and the tangi- | ble assistance tendered by the people to the finance committee. Children’s day according to present appropriations must | get .along on $500. There will be games | for which some little prizes must be of- | fered; there are entertainments to be planned and provided. and there is a small lunch to be set for the boys and girls who are at an age when such an en- tentainment will appeal to them most strongly. On $500 the prizes must be very small indeed, the entertainment must be cut down to almost nothing and the num- ber of hungry children who can be fed on the remainder could be stowed in the dining-room of a small flat. The sub- scriptions have so far been as good as could be expected, but there is a great | deal more to be done to make the pre- | vious subscriptions most effective, and the fate of the general plan cannot be jeopardized for the want of money to provide the minor details. But clouds and rain cannot Interfere with the goings on beneath the roof of | way there. The place is full of decora. tors and the carpenter’s hammer plays a merry tune during the hours of daylight. The plans for the decorations are most elaborate, and when carried out they will have transformed the dingy, barn-like structure Into a classic temple, golden hued and draped with flags and beauti- fled with evergreens. There will be a speakers’ stand with seats for the choral socleties reaching down before it, and the remainder of the floor and galleries will be fitted up to accommodate over 5000 people. The choral children in front speakers’ stand will form one of the most attractive features of the exercises, There will them, and when seated they will form a living flag. The red stripes will be formed by rows of girls with brilliant crimson | and the white with girls in white | cap capes; the fleld will be formed by rows of boys with blue capes, and on the breast of each will shine a silver star. The stand upon which the children will be seated will slope gently from the speakers’ stand to the floor and the ef- fect of the rows of color will be seen from every seat in the building. The children will take part in all the songs, and will be assisted by the older choral societies, which will sit just above them. The University students have considered their decision not to parade next Monday and accordingly the bat- tailons will take part in the great jubilee celebration.

An Indirect Result of the War With the Weighty “In- | ner Circle.” J. C. Nobmann’s Strong Langusage at | an Election—Trouble Over a Pienic. As an Indirect result of the war waged by Emmett Dunn, president of the San Francisco Commercial Travelers’ Asso- ciation, against the “famous eight” of the California Commercial Travelers’ As- sociation, the committee appointed by the Retall Grocers' Association to represent that body on the larger committee com- | posed in addition of members of the| Wholesalers’ Assoclation and San Fran- | cisco Travelers, which had in mind the| making of arrangements for the big pic- nic to be held in June, has withdrawn ab- | solutely from affiliation with the San Francisco Travelers. On Monday evening the larger commit- | tee met in B'nai B'rith Hall. Here it was | discovered that Dunn, in harmony with his previous actions, had taken men off | the sub-committee from the San Fran- | cisco Commercial Travelers’ Association because they were members also of the so-called “inner circle.” The two men taken off were Charles Fay and A. E. Green. The two substitutes were C. C. Miller and Dunn’s own brother. The Retail Grocers’' Assocfation was in favor of Schuetzen Park as the place of holding the big icnic scheduled for June 8, and the California men would have sovoted, but Dunn wanted the picnic held at EI Campo. Realizing that his | two substitutes or lieutenants would vote for El Campo the Retail Grocers’ com- mittee refused to vote. This was a wise move, as they would have been defeated by one vote. Tuesday evening the San Francisco Travelers held their semi-monthly meeting in the Alcazar building. When it, was learned that the Retail Grocers’ committee -~ had with- drawn and absolutely refused to af- fillate longer with the San Francisco Commercial Travelers considerable con- cern was felt, as the Retail Grocers’ sociation is one of the most, powerful commercial organizations in the City. Even Dunn had to admit from the chair that this was probably so. The grocers’ committee was composed of John Nob- mann, Joseph Stultz, J. J. Hayes, Super- visor Lackmann, .__Fleiger, Henry Rawe and John E. A. Helms. In plain deflance of the by-laws, so far a8 casting a ballot was concerned, the | cared that the split was wholly owing “eight’” remain suspended. The by-laws | require that a vote on the question of | suspension must be carried by a two-| thirds majority of all the members on the | roll, but Dunn ruied that a two-thirds | vote of th present would be legal. He had blanks already prepared,and it went through. The men remain suspended. As | a result, the rest of the twenty will re- | sign from the San Francisco Commercial Travelers' Association. Last night the Retail Grocers’ Asso- ciation held 4ts annual election of dl- rectors at B'nai B'rith Hall. The fol- lowing were elected as directors for the ensuing year: E. I Flieger, J. H. Haarge, E. H. Hanjes, A. Irvine, John Lackmann, John C. Nobmann, H. Rawe, John Schloen, William Warnke and J. H. Witte. It was decided hereafter to affiliate with the California Commercial Trav- elers and to hold a picnic in June in conjunction with them. J. C. Nob mann made a speech, in which he de- to the machinations of Emmett Dunn. “Dunn is the man,” declared Nob- mann, ‘“who is not content with the odium he has acquired in dealing soar- bitrarily with the California Travelers, but must needs carry his methods into the grocers’ camp. Wc will have none of him.” e CELESTIAL PREPARATIONS. Their New Year Almost at Hand. 'WIII Have a Week of Fire and Decorations. A large crowd visited Chinatown last evening to watch the preparations now going on for the new year, which begins next Friday. Booths had been arranged all along the sides of the streets and ina lanterns were lighted on all sides. ief of Police Lees will in all proba- bility have a large force of officers on hand when the noise begins, and it is ru- mored he will give the Chinese but one | hour in which to fire off rockets and | other fireworks. The hour in which this | bhappens will without doubt be exceed- | ingly warm. The Chinese are making | more elaborate preparations than were | made last year, as the police orders were noted to the letter. ————————— WHO SHOT GARDINER? The Question Will Be Settled Sooner Than Expected. The preliminary examination of Adam Stroh on the charge of burglary was continued before Judge Conlan yester- day and after Policemen Meagher and Floyd and Detectives Dillon and Crockett | had given thelr evidence the prosecution | rested. This brought Attorney J. N. . | Wilson to his feet and he demanded that the prosecution should piace Frank Mur- phy. the patrol’ wagon driver, on the stand as his client had also been charged | with assault to murder for shooting Gardiner, the stockbroker, when the po- lice knew that Murphy fired the shot. Prosecuting Attorney Mogan demurred to calling Murphy, as the assault to mur- der had nothing to' do with the burglary charge. Besides they had a sure case without Murphy's evidence and he de- clined to have him subpenaed. ‘Wilson insisted and the Judge ordered that a subpena be issued for Murphy's appearance to-morrow, when it will be shown, who did fire the shot. By that means the defense expects to get the charge of assault to murder disposed of at once. BOLD CRIME OF A DARING BURGLAR He Robbed His Vie- tims While They Slumbered. Two Detectives Scouring the Barbary Coast : for Him. Residents of the Mission Apply to the Police Authorities for Protection. KNOWN AS A HARD CROOK. His Booty Derived From a Life of Crime Is Estimated at Many Hundred Dollars. Two detectives from the Central sat- tion are scouring Barbary Coast for a burglar who has been operating in the Mission. During the past few weeks he has entered a number of Itallan vegetable gardens on San Bruno road and got away with valu- able property belonging to the owners of the gardens. His booty has amount- ed to several hundred dollars. Several day ago the much wanted burglar entered the house of an Itallan gardener on Mission road and asked for employment. He said he was from Sacramento, and was in need of work. He was given a place to sleep in a cabin set apart for the hired help. ‘While the other gardeners were asleep he went through their clothes, secur- ing several watches and a small amount of money. He immediately left the place and went to another veg- etable garden several blocks distant. He told a sorrowful tale of being hun- gry and asked for something to eat. He again worked the same scheme, robbing three of the hired help while they slept. From a description given of him, the police are convinced that he is the man who a shoft while ago held up the driver of a vegetable wagon on the San Bruno road and robbed him. It is claimed that at one of the places he visited he was detected in the act of robbing one of his victims, and was asked for an explanation. He imme- diately drew a revolver, and, pointing it at his accuser, threatened to blow his brains out. He then ordered him to throw up his hands, after which he took his purse, containing a few dimes. Last night several Itallan gardeners visited police headquarters and enlisted the services of Chief Lees in finding the desperado. They claim that the Italian residents of the Mission live in fear of the robber, and beg for protec- tion. One of them claimed that the desper- ate man visited his garden a short time ago, and, claiming that he was desti- tute, asked for a place to sleep. He was taken in and allowed to sleep with the other men employed about the | garden. When the men awoke on the following morning they found their clothes scattered about the floor and the stranger gone. A subsequent ex- amination revealed that he had got up during the night, searched their cloth- ing and taken their money and val- uables. The detectives who were looking for him last night found several watches, which he had stolen, in a pawnshop on Montgomery avenue. In one of them the proprietor said that he expected the man to return, as he promised to call again with some valuable silverware, which he claimed was given him by a friend. They walted until after mid- night and as the robber did not appear | they started out to find his room. It was located on Stockfon street and a large quantity of stolen property was found. They are hopeful of arresting him to-day. e ALMOST A MUTINY The British Ship Laomone a Scene of Trouble for Two Days. For the past two days troublq has been brewing on the British ship Laomone Captain Jones, which arrived from New- castle the 4th of this month, and last evening the climax was reached when Henry Snowdon and Adolph Heynisch, two of her crew, were locked up at the Harbor Police statlon and charged with being drunk. It is claimed that the two men have been indulging in intoxicating | liquors for days past, and that the trouble was partially caused by them, but this the men deny, and state that there are two men on board who are the friends of the captain, and that they ro- cefive more attention than should given to them by their captain, and that the rest of the crew suffer almost for the necessaries of life. Early last evening the men started to go aboard, but they were refused and trouble commenced. e watchman was told to keep them off the vessel and car- ried out his instructions by blowing a police whis with the above result. Lost Girl Found. Josephine Kane, the girl who disap- peared from her home last Monday, was found last night by Detective Anthony. She was living with a family at 833 Bush street, where she had secured employ- ment as a domestic. In_ explanatior of her absence the girl said that she had 't‘:)‘ edl):low:’le ; roa school, !:.hl:: cher had _inform parents, s feared to go home.

MIDWEEK THEATRICALS. “The Girl From Paris’ Comes to tbe Baldwin on Monday. ‘The success of Willie Collier in *““The Man From Mexico” continues unabated at the Baldwin. The attraction could easily crowd the house for another week, but it must give way to Rice's big pro- | duction of “The Girl From Paris,” which commences a three-weeks' engagement Monday night. Rice himself accompa- | nies the company and promises to give San Francisco as good a show as that which recently closed a record run at the Herald Square Theater, New York. Marje Dressler and an excellent band of farce-comedians are giving the California a much-needed taste of prosperity and good nature in “Courted Into Court.” Miss Dressler is scoring & tremendous personal hit. ‘The Tivoli's Ipl"oductlon of “Brian Boru,” the new Irish apera, will continue | for several weeks. - Mr. Paulding’s curtain-raiser, “A Man's Love,” s making a strong appeal to the sympathies of the Alcazar's patrons.

Worden may count him- self comparatively safe. Ever since his conviction the labor unlons have been striving by almost every known artifice to save the neck of their brother-worke man, and since the United States Su- preme Court refused to interfere in the matter have resorted to the last method— petitions to the Governor. The first move was made by the two central bodies—the Labor Council and the Building Trades Council. Besides formulating petitions themselves, the; instructed all subordinate unions to fo! low the same course, and these instru tions have been followed out to the letter, Each union which met last week form- ulated its petition, which will be duly forwarded under the seal of the union to Governor Budd.
