12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, EDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1898. STORM BREWINC N TURF CIRCLES Edward Comgan and President Androus at Duts W, B Sink a Heawy Stock Jockey Club, Management. holder in the Pacific Coast Criticises the The few snatches of tart repartee in- dulged in by President S. N. Androus and Edward Corrigan, Master of Haw- thorne and of Ingleside, at the latter track on Monday are apt to cause some sorfous complications in the director- ate of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club ere the spring flowers bloom. For some time it has been whispered that the officers and directors of the local track were not the happy family peo- ple of the outer world supposed. Rac- ing folks from the st say Ed Cor- rigan hung his old motto of “Rule or ruin” on the walls of the club office in the Palace Hotel, and that now the foreshadowed storm is brewing. When §S. N. Androus, president of the club, offered the suggestion to the Master of Hawthorne on Monday, ac- cording to current rumor, thata harrow might prove beneficial to the surface of the track and the latter in an angry mood told him to attend to his own business, it is just possible the big Chic horseman overplayed his hand. At any rate, the incident is the theme most discussed in turfdom at present Neither of the principals in the little affiair could be seen last evening, but | W. B. Sink, a prominent horse owner and one of the largest stockholders in | the Ingleside Association, very reluct- antly consented. to be interviewed on the internal dissensions existing in the club management. Said Mr. Sink: “In the first place you may say that I will sell all of my horses. Two are already as good as sold, and the others will go as soon as purcha can be found. I have al- paid my trainers’ salaries and ey fees, but when it comes to a stage when I cannot start my horses in the races in which they are entered it is time a man: got out of the busi- As the sport- is now conducted at ness. Ingleside it is nothing more than a ‘skin game’ " When questioned as to what treat- ment brought him to this determina- tion when he was apparently infatu- ated with the game Mr. Sink con- tinued: “My horse Alvarado is a hard animal | to get away from the post, and I in- formed Secretary Green that it was | said that starting a horse. over the hurdles improved the animal's disposi- tion and asked him whether if Alva- rado were entered in a jumping race he would be allowed to start, and he answered in -the affirmative. On Sat- urday last Alvarado was entered in the le event. In the morning of that | day he worked through the stretch in seconds, which fast work was ob- | served by Ed Corrigan.. A little later | the secretary received word by tele- phone from Corrigan to scratch Alva- rado. ‘On going to:the track my train- | er asked me if I had scratched the | horse, and I'told him no. On inquiring | of Mr. Green the reason, he said, | “Well, "Mr. Corrigan ordered scratched.” ™ “Are there other reasons for your withdrawal from the turf?” was asked. ‘Yes, there are,” replied Mr. Sink. “I| consider that many races are made up for Corrigan’s horses or his friends, and on other occasions horses are scratched to make safe betting propositions. | Take the last race yesterday, for in- stance. - Do you suppose that race would have gone through had it not looked a certainty for Geyser, . with three horses going to the post, one of them a 250 to 1 shot?” Mr. Sink then said that he thought he had been wronged all through the meeting, and intimated that he had heard that Mr. Corrigan had beenheard to say that “none of Sink's horses would ever win a race if he could pre- vent it by scratching out.” He dated the antipathy of the Hawthorne turf- man toward himself from a time some two years back when he gave a note given by Corrigan to a bank for collec- tion. “It was paid,” said Mr. Sink, “but I lost his friendship.” The injured stockholder then went on to relate what he considers the fallaci of the Western Turf Congress. “Now, said Mr. Sink, “what becomes of this $25 that is required of trainers for a license before they can start.a horse at Ingleside? What becomes of ‘the hundreds of dollars collected from jockeys for fines? It is sent on to Latonia and that is the last heard of it. There was no reason why Ingleside should have been placed under the jurisdiction of the Turf Congress. The California Jockey Club races under its own rules, and the sport at Emery- ville is good enough to suit the most fastidlous.” Mr. Sink then said: “I guess I have said too much already, but as long as I have consented to be interviewed you can say that if President Androus, Vice-President Crocker and the other officers of the club allow Corrigan to act in the role of dictator, running things to suit himself, after the first ‘of May my stock will be for sale in blocks from five shares to six hundred shares at par valuation. “If Corrigan is deposed, I will retain it and consider it money well invested. him | Theré is no need of talk about adverse | legislation; the present management will kill off the sport soon enough. Friends in the East tell me racing will never be allowed -in Cook County, Illi- nois, as long as Corrigan is financially interested in the tracks. He is said to owe money on unpaid markers in the betting rings here,” continued Mr. Sink, “but of this I know nothing.” Sanborn, Vail & Co. have only large stoék here of Screens, parlor lamps, onyx tables, framed pictures and easels at moderate prices. . — el Bohemian Club Election.

ANOTHERBIG | ~ DROP IN RATES Canadian Pacific Contemplat- ing a Further Cut of $10 on Through Travel. Self-Preservation Will Soon Force | the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe to Cut In. { CHICAGO, March 1.—The Canadian Pacific road is contemplating another | sensational cut in North Pacific Coast rates. When next it applies the knife it will, If reports are true, take an ad- ditional cut of $10 off the rate. It was understood that this cut was to be made as soon as the American roads actually put in effect over the lines the | reduced rates it made in the first place ten days ago. So far, however, there | has been no official announcement of the new cut. . Whenever the Canadian Pacific makes the announcement the | American ‘lines, it is expected, will meet the new rates. The American | lines seem to be prepared to follow the cut down to a dollar if necessary to protect business.” They are apparently in for a fight to a finish and the offi- cials hint that should the contest be a prolonged one the Canadian road may | find itself shut out from doing business | in American territory. An agitation in that direction has 'begun and Congress is In session. When M. M. Stern, local agent of the Canadian Pacific, was questioned re- gardingtheabive patch, he said that as yet he had received no advices look- ing toward such a move, though noth- ing. that might happen particularly in the territory of -the northern lines would greatly surprise him. The inten- tion of the Canadian Pacific is to*allow | matters in San Francisco to remain as | they are now unless some new move of its comnetitors should necessitate a corresponding one ‘on its part. |- 'Said Mr. Stern: ““As long as the pres- | ent rate of business continues we are perfectly willing to stand by our pres- ent rates. The increase has been so | material that we are perfectly content- |'ed with the existing conditions, and, providing the run keeps up, we can stand this thing for the rest of our nat- ural lives.” The steamer Walla Walla, first of the vessels that will run on the new five- day schedule from here to Vancouver, leaves to-day with a nearly full pas- senger list. The O. R. and N. are selling through | tickets: from San Francisco to New | York via steamer to Portland for $52 and $36 second class. This rate is made up of the $12 and $6 steam- er rate from here to Portland and the | 840 and :$30 rate from there to the east- ern terminal over the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and trunk lines. Though Vice-President J. C. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific says that noth- ing mew has developed in the situa- tion and that the loss that his com- pany will sustain on their through travel by the action of the Canadian Pacific ‘Railroad is so trifling that it will not be necessary for them to en- ter actively in the war as far as San Francisco is concerned; yet the opinion of other competent railroad authori- They claim that neither the ‘Southern Pacific por the Santa Fe can stand quietly by and see all of the cream of the travel turn from them and go- over the northern | roads, and that it is but a question of time when both those roads will be | forced into the fight for their own self- | protection and, when they do, things will come down with a drop that will make somebody either weaken or break. The whole street is at present on tenterhooks waliting for something to happen, though where it will come from or what it will be, when it does come, are at present only matters of conjec- ture. 2 TO EELP THE JEWS. Inception of a‘io’vie;ent to Find a Home for the Persecuted. A representative audience of the Jews of this- city assembled in B'nai B'rith hall last evening to organize a Zionistic socie- ty and to learn its objects. The movement is one at present active among the Jewish centers of the world. It has for its object the transportation to Palestine and the maintenance of all persecuted Jews wherever found. Tn cer- tain countries of Europe where the Jew is denied the privileges of citizenship and even the rights of justice, they are emi- grating in large numbers to colonies in the Holy Land where, at the expense of the Jewish race, they are assisted until their lands are fruitful and they establish a home. The result of last night’'s meet- ing was the formation of one of these Zionistic socleties in this city. The programme prepared included sev- era] musical selections, but among them were addresses by various rabbis of the | city, explaining the motives of the society and’ calling for their assistance. Rabbl M. S. Levy spoke first. He said that the Jew who had found in this county so fair a home could well afford to lend his aid to him who was persecuted and reviled. ‘What the Salvationists had done in Sal- inas for their Christian brothers he was sure the Jews could do for their brethren in_Palestine. Rabbt Isidore Myers, the founder of the movement in this city, told of his per- sonal observations of these Jewish colon- ies in Palestine, and of the persecutions from which they had fled. There are 100,- | 000 acres, he said, which form a home for 15000 Jews. They are contented and happy, {and he believed that the nucleus of a | haven of refuge for the Jewish race had | been formed by them. They are not try- ing to establish a government, he said, but are only seeking a place where they will be let alone. Rev. Dr. Mosessohn followed in a sim- lar strain, and then cards of member- | ship in the society were sent around among the audience. Within a few min- utes over 200 of these had been returned bearing name and address, and promises of liberal subscription. A meeting of those whose addresses were sent in will be called within a few days and the so- clety will then fuily organize. —_——— | Ten cents for a hottle of Low’s Hore- . WILL RULE ST. PATRICK'S DAY The Spirit of ’98 to Control a Grand Cele- bration. California Is Bound to Aid Ma- terially in the Great Movement. Wil Assist in Building a Monument in Dublin to Wolfe Tone and Other Patriots. Jeremiah Mahoney, president of the '98 Centennial and Monument Associa- tion, has cabled to Dublin: “Califor- | nia will contribute at least $2000 for the monument fund to Wolfe Tone and the heroes of '98.”” The reason for his cabling was that on March 4, next Fri- day evening, there will be a great cel- ebration there to start subscriptions to- other French expedition, and on this expedition Wolfe Tone was captured and died in prison. All over the world the Irish are cele- brating the centennial of '93. In Ire- land the celebration will begin in May. and each place where a battle was fought will have a local celebration. August 21 next the corner stone of the monument will be laid on Grafton street, facing Stevens Green, Dublin, and there will be a monster procession and banquet, etc. On the 28th of Aug- ust at Castlebar there will also be a great demonstration. This will be na- tional, and the descendants of the French officers and men who took part have been invited. There will be il- luminations all over Ireland, and cele- brations on a grand scale all over the world, in fact. From the enthusiasm shown by the Irishmen of California, it is certainthey also will take proper part in these ob- servances, and the celebration here on St. Patrick’s day will be the central one on this coast. The literary commit. tee Is now preparing a programme, and it promises to be a very fine one in- deed. The exercises will be held at Woodward’s Garden day and evening.

Marin County Milk Ranchers Are Preparing to Make a Fight. A preliminary meeting looking toward the adjusting of the local milk question was held in the rooms of the Board of Health yesterday. Legal representatives of the dalrymen of Marin, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties were present, as well as a number of San Fran- cisco milk dealers. The main matter under discussion was the proposed quarantine of milk from adjoining counties where the J.PDIGNAN EX.COM._ @F THE CAUSE. ward the movement, and the Dublin executive desired to know what might be expected from California. At the last meeting of the associa- tion in this city a letter was read from Dublin, stating that the monument would cost about $50,000, and Mr. Ma- honey was Instructed to answer as to California’s contribution of the above sum. The association In this city has been organized for some months, and in that time subcommittees have been formed in different centers. At Juneau, Alaska, a committee is working under the presidency of Mar- tin Conway. The Los Angeles com- mittee is doing good work with Judge Ryan as president. There are com- mittees also at San Jose, Oakland, Val- lejo and other places, so that it is ex- pected that a considerable sum will be realized. The St. Patrick day conven- tion recently decided to add the sum realized by the celebration here to the amount raised, and this will be hand- ed over to the '98 association. Con- sidering all these sources it is expected that the sum of $2000 will be easily realized. The sentiment among Irishmen to- ward the men of '98 is a deep and abld- ing one. There are few Irishmen but who have traditions of that perfod in which their forbears figured with pike and staff against the British soldiery. It was a time of frightful persecution and no part of the Isiand was exempt. A few years before Grattan’s volun- teers had everything their own way and the crown promised legislative re- forms of all kinds and freedom of wor- ship. Then England had her hands full, however. Cornwallis was penned up in this country and the French were carrying everything before them. The promises were never kept after the volunteers disbanded. But in place bigotry was sown among the people. Men who had been as brothers in the volunteers became deadly enemies. To remedy this was the mission of Wolfe Tone and the United Irishmen. They worked against British gold, and were working successfully, to the dis- may of the Government. The only plan that Pitt and Castlereagh could desire, therefore, in order to hold the country, was to precipitate the rebel- lion, and this was done. The leaders were arrested—Lord Edward Fitzgerald and other gallant souls—and the poor people were crushed, not before they made a splendid campaign, however. There were many patriots in the differ- ent courts, and the rebels were treated in the most inhuman manner. It was a reign of terror for the people, and they were treated with the greatest savagery. In Wexford the main fight- ing occurred, and, notwithstanding that the people were without leaders, with- out arms or supplies of any kind, still for over two months they held their own against the British regulars. It is related by impartial witnesses that on several occaslons they fought with such desperate courage that, although far outnumbered, they yet drove before them the well drilled and equipped reg- iments of Cornwallis—veterans of the Revolutionary War in America. The latter part of August the French landed under General Humbert. Mat- thew Tone Wolife, Tone's father, was with this auxiliary force, and he suf- fered death in consequence, and is in- terred alongside his brother at Bodens- town. The French were very success- ful, and at Castlebar defeated four times their number, and in such man- ner that that battle has since been called the “Castlebar races.” Not be- ing reinforced, however, and being in constant action, the French force was finally captured. Afterward came an- FORCED T0 SURRENDER IS MONEY Bucolic Stranger Held Up by Three Men on Grant Avenue. Joseph King, an Ex-Con- viet, Was a Party to the Crime. Arrested on Suspicion of Bur- glary Confesses His Share in the Robbery. KNOWN AS A BAD MAN. Two Policemen Overlook His Mask ‘Which He Had Secreted in His Sweater. Joseph King, the ex-convict, who was arrested Monday night on suspicion of being one of the burgars who have been operating in Oakland, will have to an- swer to a charge of burglary commit- ted in this city. Last Friday night King and two other men, who have not yet been arrrested, held up a bucolic stranger on Grant avenue and robbed him of a few dollars and a gold watch and chain. The robbers were masked, and as their victim appeared King, at the point of a revolver, ordered him to throw up his hands under penalty of being made a subject for the Coroner. He was then forced into a doorway, and while King held the revolver to his head his companions in crime relieved him of his money and watch. After taking his valuables the desperate rob- bers ordered him to “skip out” or suf- fer being riddled with bullets. The un- fortunate man, 1-ealmn11 that they meant business, took to his heels and disappeared down Sutter street. Immediately after ‘the robbery King and his confederates entered a saloon on’ Grant avenue, near Bush, and se- creted the evidence of their crime. A few minutes later Police Officers Fen- nell and Colen, who had been apprised of the robbery, visited the saloon, and, recognizing King, they proceeded to question him. He denied that he had a hand in the robbery, and offered to prove by several men, who were pres- ent, ithat he was in the saloon at the time of the holdup.
