THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, SLID CRABWISE DOWN THE WAYS Launch of a New Stern- wheel Steamer at the Fulton Yards. She Will Constitute Another Addition to the Yukon Fleet. | The Vessel Was So Anxious to Reach the Water That She De- :ded Prematurely. i It was rather a peculiar launch, be- | cause the great flat-bottomed boat, in- stead of gliding gracefully stern first into the water, a went down the ways sidelon getting into the bay v much after the fas: of a crab. But this method of | launching, adapted merely as a mat- | of convenience and to save valua- | ble ground space, did not detract from | the succe of the event at all. There was bustle and activity at the Fulton engineering yards yesterd: morning when the time of high water drew | nigh. The situation is somewhat ex- posed, looking right across the entrance to the harbor, and the waves of the bay were anxiously watched, to make sure that the swell which broke on the béach was not strong enough to injure the new built craft. The launch should have taken place on Monday but the sea proved too boisterous. Yes- terday, however, the weather was more favorable, and punctually at 11 the lashing which secured the ways parted with a snap, and the vessel glided swiftly down the steep incline into the water. In fact, so anxious was she to reach her native element that she somewhat anticipated the wishes of the shipyard pgople, and went off while men were still knocking away the shores under her bottom. Fortunate- ly no one was injured, though it was a near shave for the shipwrights. There was no ceremony about the launching. They did not even break the traditional bottle of wine over her bows, The Alaskan trade is far too prosaic and money making, and has no to waste upon such frivolities.

Little Alice Loy Tells the Story | of Her Inhuman Treat- i ment. | | Mrs. Clark's “Army” Rallies to lhal Defense of a Man Charged With a Heinous Offense. “‘General” George Spurgeon Duggan | has been held for trial before the Su- perior Court by Police Judge Low, 00, on the charge of brutally attacking Alice Loy, the seven-year-old girl who was brought to this city from Portland by Mrs. J. A. Clark about two months ago. Yesterday's proceedings in the Po- | lice Court gave an insight into the life of the crowd of vagabonds who, under | the cloak of religion, prey upon the charitable for a livelihood, their meth- | ods casting reflection upon the Salva- | tionists and Volunteers, and retarding n a measure the good work in which | those organizations are engaged. | The charge against Duggan bids fair | G to disrupt the half-dozen people who | call themselves God’'s Regular Army, | Clark is the head. It was she who swore to the complaint against Duggan, and yesterday she was one of the chief witnesses for (hEJ prosecution, though it must be ad-| mitted that she was a reluctant wit-| ness and appeared to be shielding the defendant in e y way possible. Dug- gan called upon nearly every member of Mrs. Clark's forces to testify in his | behalf when given an opportunity to| present his case, In addition to taking | @HEEEEPEEPEOEPEPPEPEPEREEREEE® the stand himself, and it is doubtful it Falstaff himself mustered a more | unkempt crowd than that which rallied to the defense of the man.on trial for the most heinous offense known. It | was noticeable that the “‘General” was not supported by any of his own fol- lowers; not a member of ‘“Jesus Christ’s Army” was placed upon the | witness stand. But it is possible that | Duggan himself constituted the rank | and file of his forces | Alice Loy, a pretty tot with a wealth of soft, flaxen hair falling about her delicate features, was brought down from Sacramento, where she is being cared for, and told the story of her in- human treatment with a childish sim- plicity and straightforwardness that carried conviction of its truth. Dr. C. D. McGettigan, medical superintendent = of the Sisters’ Hospital, where Alice has found shelter and friends, came down with the child and gave expert testimony as to the brutality of her ill- treatment. Mrs. Clark and Secretary Frank Kane of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children also tes- tified for the prosecution. The first witness for the defense was Jessie Smith, a twelve-year-old _girl, who was at the headquarters of Jesus Christ's Army with Alice Loy at the time of the alleged assault. When the complaint was sworn out this girl made a statement to Prosecuting At- torney Reynclds, fully corroborating Alice’s st but since then she has modified her story to such an extent that the prosecution did not see fit to place her on the stand. However, | when it came Reynolds’ turn to cross- | examine her he brought out considera- | ble that was damaging to Duggan. | Judge Low asked her if anybody had alked to her about the case, and she admitted that her father and mother | had, but afterward said they had told | her to state the truth. Mrs. Flora Smith and Jacob Smith, the mother and father of the girl, were also called on behalf of Duggan, both seeming to be anxious to shleld him as much as possible. They are both members of Mrs. Clark’s army, and came from Portland with her. J. W. Pray and J. W. Dobbin, two more of God’s Regular Army, testified for the defense, and then the Judge put a stop to the flow of eloquence that Dug- | gan’s attorney was about to uncork by holding Duggan in $3000 bail. _ MANAGEMENT Yreeholders Decide on a Joint Sys- tem of Protection for the City. But little work was transacted last night at the meeting of the Freeholders, The greater part of the session was de- voted to the discussion of the department of electricity. It was decided to place the department in charge of the construction police, telegraph and telephone systems, under the control of a joint commission composed of the Board of Fire Commis- sioners and Board of Police Commission- ers. The {olnt commissions shall appoint a practical and skilled electrician to appoint such assistants as may be neces- sary to keep the system in working order. Any citizen, firm or corporation may, for the purpose of police or fire protection, be connected with the system, but not on the main line, on the payment of such charges as may be fixed by the Super- visors. 1 The convention then adjourned to meet to-morrow night after amending the pro- vislons of the Yollna enslon relief fund so that they will be in consonance with the provisions of the fire department re- lief fund. — e It being the intention of J.

The first indication of her true condition was noticed by Miss Eliz- abeth Wainwright, the principal of the Silver Star Free Kindergarten, where Eva attended. Although the child was naturally inclined to be good-natured, it was found that at certain times she was crabbed and nervous, display- ing an utter lack of interest in the games and exerclses which chil- dren as 2 rule enjoy and which make the kindergarten an attrac- tion to them.

The matter came up on arguments on the appeal by the board | { from the decree of Superior Judgg Wal- lace, which was that the Supervisors be removed from office for not fixing the water rates in February, 1897. The court- room was filled with law books and legal nt. S.

This statute deprives the accused of a trial by jury, which it could not do if it was a criminal proceed- ing.

Fly-Casters Pmc'd:il;; for the Open- to-All Tournament in Sep- tember. The San Francisco Fly-casting Club met | last evening in the new quarters of the Fish Commission, which is room 2 on the seventh floor of the Mills building. In future the club will hold all its meet- ings in the assembly of the building. The next gathering of the fly-casters will be on Tuesday even- | ing, the 22d Inst. Considerable discussion was had relative to the change of posi- tions of the buoys and lines for long-dis- tance casting. Some members were of the opinion that the buoys should be | placed so that every member of the club | could reap a benefit. Then there were others who thought that by casting from platforms, where the back cast would not be interfered with by brush or land, con- siderable benefit would result to all con- cerned in long-distance casting. On mo- tion of President Mansfield, the club de- | cided to place «_e buoys in such a pos | tion that in future there will not be an opening left for argument.

The argument was opened by Mr. Pills- bury, who contended that if the malfeas-~ ance described is to be followed by re- moval from office it is under a general definition of the code a crime, and a con- viction should be by ordinary methods prescribed for the prosecution of public offenses. The attorney further contended that the statutes requiring the water rates to be fixed at a certain time, with removal as the penalty, do not conform to constitutional requirements. Unforeseen things might arise that would make com- pliance impossible, and the law does not require impossibilities. Another point of attack was that the law itself {s defective, inasmuch as It provides for the removal of Boards of Supervisors instead of the individual members of the board. The in- tent was the removal of the officers, not the board. Before taking his seat the at- torney raised the point that Mr. Fitch was not an interested rate-payer. While the plaintiff’s testimony showed that he used water, it did not show that Mr. ¥itch paid for it. Justice McFarland threw out the sug- gestion that rates cut no figure in the controversy. The statute directed that the board fix the rates in a:stated month and If the statute be constitutional and the rates not fixed on time removal must ensue. Frank McGowan argued hat his clients, Rottanzi and Lackman, had done all their power to have the rates fixed ac- cording to law and that they had been held guiltless by Judfe ‘Wallace, although ‘the order of removal applied to them as shall be wriiten on blackbe within full view of the con?gf:ng'fig spectators.

Franklin. Attorneys Are Preparing for the Legal Combat to Follow. The Small Estate Explained Conveyanzes in His Lifs- time. by The two sensatlonal petitions which | are the forerunners of a will contest against the estate of Julius L. Frank- lin were filed yesterday morning in the County Clerk’s office; and concealed in their legal verbiage is a story, the main facts of which were told in yesterday’s Call. The allegations of fraudulent conveyances during the lifetime of the deceased are emphasized by the attor- | neys who will conduct the opposition to the will, and they also asseverate that they have an abundance of proof to justify the action taken by their clients. The Indian woman—a genuine Chi- | nook with the blood of a line of chiet- tains in her veins—was supposed to have disappeared from the sight of the world when Franklin changed his ad- venturous career as fur trader in the wilds to that of business man in civil- ized Portland. The children by that | union accompanied him to that city, but nothing is known positively about the | wife during Franklin’s residence there. | But that she was alive at the time is a fact that certain men who knew Franklin persist in declaring. There are men in this town who say that the | dusky native-born daughter of the heather was alive four years ago and that there is every reason to believe she still draws the air of this terrestrial sphere. That she was as a Nemesis to Franklin in his lifetime is assured, for he never mentioned her name, and the subject was at all times painful to him. Those with whom Franklin was en- | gaged in business say that he never | spoke of his former red-skinned com- | panion. They knew that the report | was current that he had children | whose blood was not pure. In his wili | he distinctly declares Benjamin, Mol- | lie and Lena Franklin to be his own | children, and to each he leaves a spe- | cific legacy, small in amount in com- parison to his reputed wealth. But to | the children of his second union he be- queaths nothing, trusting to his wife | to attend to their wants. The attor- neys of the children of the dead cflpl-‘ talist and the dusky princess are of opinion that im his lifetime suitable | provision was made for the offspring of | his present widow with a view to pre- | vent all possibility of a successful con- | test of his will. | The lawyers are beginning to pre- pare for the fray. Coogan and Kahn, attorneys for Mrs. Pauline Franklin, | | say that they will protect the interest | of their client, and if a contest of the | will 1s necessary it will be fought to | the bitter end. " They declare that the ‘ will is valid and it will stick like muci- |lage. With scorn they laugh at the | 1dea of fraudulent conveyances with ‘ the purpose to defraud natural children | | of their interests. Julius Kahn Bald{ | yesterday: “Mr. Franklin's wealth was | much overrated. In his lifetime, seve- | Yal years before his marriage, he gave | to his wife presents of property, both personal and real, but that he did this with intent to injure others is ab. surd. Of course, he recognized these | | other children as his own, for he men- | | tions them in his will.” | | But there are some who think other- | | wise. John F. Riley, attorney for Ben~ | jamin J. Franklin, the first born and | | issue of the deceased, tells another story. | | He sald: ‘That the-.inventory shows | value is nothing. We intend to prov: that Franklin was devoted to his chil | dren during the early part of his mar- | riage with Mrs. Pauline Franklin and | | that gradually his affection for them | was alienated. We have evidence that | real property worth $60,000 was con- | | veyed by Franklin in his last year of | | life, and that this was done to exclude | his first children from inheriting any | portion of his estate. Also that large | blocks of bonds, shares of stocks and | | personal property were' converted wm.i the same intent. Nothing in the in- ventory shows an accounting of Frankiin’s interest in the firm of Metz- ger & Franklin, lottery dealers.” Felix H. Merzbach, also an attorney for the children of the early union, is equally asseverative of the rights and justice of his clients’ cause. “We in- tend to frame a bill in equity to set aside every conveyance which was an act of fraud against these children. ‘We will show that the history of their childhood was full of malice and op- pressicn, and they were deprived of their paternal estate without justice or show of right.” The merry dance goes on, and now the dramatis personae are the lawyers, an Indian mother, a widow and a half- dozen children, O COMMERCE WITH CHINA.

A local private institution, variously known as the Shepard Publishing Com- pany, the Manufacturers' Register, Reg- istration and Employment Office, and Clerks’ Exchange, has become mixed up with one of the State officers, because of the many complaints made that all the business is not conducted as it should be. It is the Clerks’ Exchange department that seems to be in the most trouble, and to-day the Labor Commissioner will make an officfal investigation to see if of the laws relating to labor have been violated. There are two offices for the Clerks’ Exchange, one at 313 Bush | street, and the other at 1039 Market. For | many days there have been complaints | made to the Labor Commissioner that the managers of the business have been tak- ing money from their victims on the promise of getting them employment. One of the latest complainants was a | man to whom fate has been very unkind. He said that a few days ago he paid the managers his last §2, they promising to | provide him with work by the 1st of March. In order to bridge over the inter- val he sold his furniture at a great sacri- fice and_waited for the job which never When he asked the managers to make good their word he was told that they had no place for him. The man, who has a family, is really destitute and his lot is similar to many other cases re- ported to the commissioner. Yesterday the latter decided that it was time for him to act and he summoned W. H. Shep- &rd and Isaac Sheely, the managers, to appear before him and show if they are transacting a legitimate business. If not they will be prosecuted.

Confmon soda is all right in its place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, & habit which thousands of people prac- tice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger. Moreover, the soda only gives temporary rellef, and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. The soda acts as a mechanical irri- tant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intestines, caus- ing death by inflammation or periton- itis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia) an excellent prepara- tion sold by druggists under the name of Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20-grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste, and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison the blood and nervous tem. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements, and finds them a certain cure not only fof sour stomach, but Ly promptly digest- ing the food they create a healthy ap- petite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness, and will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents per package.
