THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1898 11 NABLEDTO | HELP McKENNA Hon. Frank A. Leach Back From the Na- tion’s Capital. | 1 Will Be No Cutting of Wages | in the San Francisco | Mint. | stendent Anxious to Rest | Thirty-Seven Years’ | Newspaper Work. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 26. Hon. Frank A. Leach, Superintendent | of the San Francisco Mint, has re- | turned from Washington and says that | as a result of his visit to the Secretary | of the Treasury there will be no reduc- | tion in the wages of the employes of | the Mint. H “The order reducing wages of the | employes in the Mint 25 per cent was | made of course in the name of the Sec- and the twenty-one appointed by the chairman would give a majority which would elect forty-two new members. ““Every Indication points to an_effort being made to control the State Central | Committee, and the parties engaged in the attempt realize possibly that such control s impossible with the membership existing. Therefore the necessity to make removals in order to further their am- | bition."” It is on these lines that a lot of blgi Democrats are stirring their boots. and it is on these lines that the forces are lining | up. There may hLe a governorship at | stake and there may be the local machine | at stake. —_———— Uses Foul Language. Alexander Campbell, a young man | about 25 years of age, was sentenced by Judge Conlan yesterday to pay a fine of | $100, with the alternative of 100 days in | the County Jail, for using vulgar lan- | guage to a young man and a young lady | on Monday.” The Judge said that Camp- | Dbell had the. foulest mouth of any human | being he had ever seen. The defend- | ant’s father, who is a physician in the | sion, had him arrested some time ago and banished him from_ his home owing to his foul language and bad conduct. RESULT OF { CONFESSION F. C.

The issue will be squarely presented on roll call, and the engagement will open promptly. The first note of the war trumpet has been sounded by Colonel J. J. Nunan. member of the committee and partner of Harbor Commissioner Colnon in the Stockton Mail. A long and vigorous cir- cular from him to the members of the committes reached the local members yesterday. He jumps on the suspected programme like a buck on a rattlesnake, and appeals to the members to attend in person. P The vigorous Democratic editor recltes the fact that only official notice of the meeting was an obscure advertise- ment printed one time in the Examiner, “a peculiar method.” Notices sent by mail would have cost a total of $275. “The manner thus adopted in calling the meec ing therefore naturally arouses suspi- cion.” lumors are quite general,” contin- ues the appeal, “that the purpose of the meeting 1s to drop from the roll of membership forty-two members who it is sald falled to pay the assessment levied during the campaign of 18%6. In this connection it might be also proper to say that those who apparently favor this course seem very anxious to give out the impression that the most of these forty-two members represent San Francisco. It is declared that but six of the twenty-cight San Francisco members are delinquent, leaving thirty or more of the interfor. Mr. Nunan wants to know v country members should Dng ass- ments anyway when they spend time to attend meetings, while co members board at home walk. It is shown to be an t and undemocratic scheme. The members are direct representatives of the people, should not be removed ex- cept for grave cause and then vacancies should be filled by county committees. Why should forty-two be humiliated? Then the Colonel sounds the key note of the issue: “The proceeding savors of some plot. s it possible that the wires are being in an effort to control ‘the and capture the Democratic State Central Committee? ‘A shrewd and cunning diplomat is at work, under cover, and possibly several shrewd, cunning diplomats jointly are in_a combination."” Then there s this analysis: There are 108 members representing the people and elected at congressional and county con- ventions, and twenty-one at large named by the chairman. Removing forty-two leaves eighty-seven members, and twen- ty-three members representing the voters The Perfume of Violets The purity of the lily, the glow of the rose,| and the flush of Hebe eomlfinu in Pozzoxr’ wondrous Powder. Frank C. Kretzer was formally | charged with murder at the City Pris- on yesterday by Detectives Dillon and Reynolds who have been for some days working on the case. When Kretzer was arrested in Val- lejo on a warrant charging him with burglary in Fresno he confessed, as was then stated exclusively in The Call, that he had murdered Charles C. Koel- | ling in this city on May 30, 1895. It was thought at first that Kretzer was simply “bluffing” to escape being ta- | ken to Fresno, but subsequent develop- ments showed that he was telling the truth. The detectives found an witness yesterday. bricklayer, was foreman at the time for Koelling. He stated yesterday that he remembered Kretzer and three or four other men coming to 943 Falsom | street, where Koelling and his men were building an oven. Kretzer be- | gan to criticize the men's work and called them “scabs.” Koelling ordered | him away, but he refused. Koelling then attempted to eject him, but failed. Koelling went to the Southern police station and made a complaint against Kretzer, but was told to swear to a warrant for his arrest in the Police | Court. | Koelling returned to the building and Kretzer and his friends had gone. About an hoyr later, when the men were knocking off work, Kretzer re- | turned, and seizing a brick threw it at Koelling. It struck him on the head, knocking him down. Kretzer ran home and remained in hiding for a few days till he learned that Koelling had died. He left the city and went to Vacaville. Detective Dan Coffey went there after him, but some of his friends gave him | the tip and he skipped out for Suisun. From Suisun he went to Woodland, then to Sacramento and finally settled in_ Fresno, where he is wanted for | burglary The police will also have the evi-| dence of Dr. Kuegler who attended Koelling, and of Koelling’s widow who is at present housekeeper at the Golden West Hotel.

Record Review, Auctions and Random Notes. ‘When real estate prices are low there always seems a disposition on the part and wait until the market has reached bedrock, in which cheerless state it has been for many moons. But when the tide turns buyers rush, helter-skelter, to purchase before the change for the | better becomes very marked. Dealers predict that the turning point is here, evidenced by better sales, bet- ter inquiry and a far better outlook. Inquiry, showing as it does that sales good for the past week.

Four bells struck and the lieutenant left the wardroom, where he had been sitting, listening to the customary Saturday night yarns of sweethearts and wives, to take the second dog watch.

President Scott of the board addressed the gather- ing. He favored a new High School building, and said that the proposition was to have a bond issue of $75,000, of | which $60.000 would be expended in the | new bullding, $10.000 for a lot for it and the remainder for fixtures and improvi ments upon the old structures. The mat- ter was gone Into at considerable length and Suplsntendent Sullivan went into de- tall to show the reasons why a new build- ing of the kind prfl)osed for the accom- modation of the High School was de- sirable. It was finally decided that the commit- tee should be given an object lesson upon the condition of the department, and it was planned that they should visit the various schools and see for themselves their needs. This will be done on Satur- | day next, and the committee will meet | again next Tuesday evening. | City Trustees’ Meeting.

The proposed change in the making of requ | sitions and the purchase and delivery of | supplies came up, and it was found that | the system was already in_operation In some of the departments, while in others | the Trusteese had no control. The fact | developed that no change could be made uniess it were brought about by the Treasurer refusing to cash warrants on the ground that due precaution had not been used in m&klnf them out.
