L THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1898. T WILL TEST THE LAW OF COPYRIGHT To Enjoin a News- paper From Filch- ing News. Charges That Editor De Young Does Not Re- spect the Laws. ew York Herald News Pur- chased by The Call Stolen by the Chronicle. AN IMPORTANT ACTION. Federal Courts Will Decide Whether Publishers Can Claim Protection. Attorney Horace G. Platt yesterday | filed a bill in equity for James Gordon | Bennett in the United States Circuit | t. It is against M. H. de Younsg, he purpose of enjoining the from publishing news that copyrighted by the New York | Cou orth in detail that the | is a correspondent in New | -ures an early edition of | each day, and telegraphs | ws therein to the Chroni- pite of the fact that the <e such filching of | the Herald is copy- h day, and that the differ- betwe the New York the Chronicle to clip ewrite the items and | “This is one of the rt newspaper der the copyright 1 the fact that copy- | operty and that a | rly come under | aws.

Some of the more important | ems thus wrongfully pirated and re- | produced in the Chronicle are enumer- ated as follows: On December 6 im- portant news cabled to the Herald from Paris, particularly exclusive news from the Figaro; on December 7 im- portant news from Hayti, regarding German diplomacy; important news from December 6 to date concerning important foreign news, especially mat- ters pertaining to the condition of the Cubans. The allegations cover hun- dreds of leading articles of news, all of which were either pirated bodily or revamped in such a way as to leave no doubt as to the sofirce from which | the news was obtained. It is also alleged and brought forth in detail that the Chronicle for a long period of time preceding its unlawful acts recognized the fact that the Her- ald was the true owner of the copy- righted news, as it paid for the use of the same, and in every way recognized the rights of property under the copy- right law. It is also shown that the Chronicle has reaped large financial benefits from its fraudulent use of the news owned and controlled by the Her- ald. The prayer concludes with a request | that the Chronicle be enjoined and pre- | vented from selling or exposing for sale any copy of its newspaper con- taining any pirated news, and that all reporters, editors and workmen on the paper be forbidden to do any act that will cause a perpetration of the fraud. In conclusion it is requested that the stereotyped plates of all issues of the paper of the dates named be delivered to an officer of the court to be can- celed and destroyed. The bill*is accompanied by an affi- davit from John D. Sgreckels to the | effect that he bought the sple right to use the Herald news service on No- vember 13, and that the Chronicle has persistently refused to notice any re- e ADVERTISEMENTS.

According to his statement bad cigars had much to do with it, though once they had failed. The at- torney hinted that the confession edi- tor was not averse to using bad whisky if the occasion should warrant it, thowgh an opportunity had not been given for its use in this case. During the investigation T. Garrett, | The steamship Australia is making a fine record in Alaskan waters. From a private letter written by Captain H. C. Houdlette to a wel-known resident of this city, The Call is permitted to make ome extracts. Seattle, March 12, and re Francisco last Wednesday, “Here we are back at Seattle after go- ing the rounds—first Seattle, then Taco- ma, then Port Townsend, then Victoria, Juneau and Skaguay, back to Juneau and Seattle. We had 445 passengers, horses cattle and donkeys, and quarters of bee and mutton the whole length of the deck. “I think the whole community has gone mad. Men who call themselves gentle- men lose all signs of gentility when they start for the mines and act more like beasts than anything else. ived in outside of Vancouver Island up to lati- tude 56 degrees 2) minutes north, then in by Cape Ommersey, hence we had only 243 miles of inland steaming. I think by keeping outside all the time we shall come out all right, aithough we have to pass some pretty bad places and if it should happen to snow or get thick it would make you feel very uncomfortable, for the water is of such great depth that one can- not anchor. % * =% “You never saw such a mob as there is now here, all madly rushing for the gold flelds. There are thirty-five vessels car- rying passengers from Portland and Se- attle to Dyea and Skaguay, and all are going full, with more freight than they can carry. Seattle is booming. “It s a sight worth seeing going up these channels—mountains on both sides from 3000 to 6000 feet high, covered with snow and ice. Some of the glaciers are three miles wide and thirty miles long and from 1000 to 3000 feet deep of the blu- est_ice. “The night we arrived at Juneau we had to keep first to right and then left to keep clear of icebergs. We broke the rec- ord from Victoria to Juneau, 58 hours 13 minutes, and 6 hours 53 minutes to Skag- uay. The best trip of the Queen was 60 hours to Juneau. Our time is not bad for the old ship in strange waters. “The Cottage L.ty came into Juneau while we were there with ner stern and Zorty feet of her keel gone. There were three hundred, passengers on board. She had three feet of water in her engine room before they could find a place to beach her. “The Whitelaw got ashore before she reached Skaguay, and then burned to the water's edge about five hundred vards from us. “I want to give you a little idea about Skaguay. It is bullt, you might say, on a mud flat, between hirh mountains. Everything is mountain up here, and not a bit of level land to be seen. The wharf where we lay is a half mile long to town, and the rise of the tide is 28 feet. The tide goes nearly to the town; and such a town. It Is full of gamblers and gin- mills. You will first come to the house of some family, next door a shop, next a hotel and next a gambling den, and tnat is the way all over town. Up the valley toward the White Pass hundreds of dead horses lie, and the water the people use comes down that way. When summer sets in they will die off like sheep. “We took forty Indians at Juneau to work cargo, as the gang at Skaguay wants 75 cents and §1 per hour. We had to get United States troops to patrol the docks to protect the Indians, The night the Indians were paid on they got up courage and went up town. About 3 o’clock they came running on board. The gang had fired about a dozen Shots at them. You never saw_such a scared lot of Indians in your life. The head one woke me up, saying that three of them | had been shot, but the alarm proved to | be false, as no one was shot. You can form some idea. of the tough crowd at Skaguay.” —_————————— Ask Leave to Disincorporate. . The directors of the Oregon and Cali- fornia Lumber Company filed a petition in the County Clerk’s office yesterday to dissolve the corporation. All o. the debts of the company have been settled, and it is the wish of a majority of the share- holders to go out of business. ¥rops., Bosion. How to Cure Torcding Humors,” free, BABY’S SKIN >ic, 55rminct got, eoe- The letter bearing date | San | “We went from Victoria out the straits | | to Hoff until Saturday last, when Hay- the city editor of.the Examiner, a mitted that he had given $35 of Hearst's money toward securing an option for a few hours on a gold brick that a | scheming operator was willing to sell him. He not only squandered good money, but he made the man who swindled him his guest, entertaining | him at expensive midnight dinners and ing the bills for costly wines that re consumed while the gold brick | swindle was being consummated. The gold brick was an alleged confession that Attorney Haymond claimed he had | | obtained from Albert Hoff, the ac- | cused murderer of Mrs. Clute. The respondent asked to have the | testimony of Hoff taken in the case, but the court gave an opinion that he | did not think it would be proper to put him on the stand while he is being | tried for his life, for the reason that‘he | might be led into making some state- ments that might be used against him | in the murder charge. Attorney Schoo- | ler, Hoff's counsel, objected to his cliént going on the witness stand. He said he had prepared an affidavit and presented it to the court, but he had with the consent of the court with- drawn it. It was to the efféct that | Hoff had never made a confession. Attorney McIntosh was put on the stand in his own defense. He said that about a week ago Hoff had told him that John Connors, a reporter in the employ of ‘the Examiner, had been to him, and offered to give him $10,000 for a confession of the crime of killing Mrs. Clute. The witness told the other at- torneys who are defending Hoff about it, and they ridiculed the story of their client. A few days later, while chat- ting with E. B. Haymond, the state- ment of Hoff that the Examiner had offered the accused man such a large sum for a confession was mentioned. Haymond replied that he would have some fun with the Examiner on the strength of it. He said he had done some work for the Examiner, and he would sell them a gold brick and then give them the laugh. The witness said he did not know what the intention of Haymond was. Nothing more was said about the alleged offer of the Examiner mond volunteered the information to MelIntosh that he was being chased by | the Examiner for a confessicn he had | made the editors of the paper believe he had, and that the city editor of that | paper was sweating blood over it. On | Sunday morning while the witness was in his office Haymond came in and said he wanted permission to go to see Hoff., The permission was refused. “Late in the forenoon,” said the wit- ness, “I went to the County Jail to see Hoff, and when there Hoff told me that | Connors had been to see him on Satur- day night. Hoff told me that a young man named Britt, who is an office boy at the Examiner editorial rooms, came to him, and he introduced Connord. Britt said that Connors was a good friend of the prisoner, and that Hoff could trust him. Connors had a pocket full of cigars, and he gave Hoff sev- eral of them. Hoff 1it one of them, and it made him sick, so he threw it and the rest he gave him away, fearing | they had been doped.: It was about 6 o’clock when Connors arrived at the jail, and he refused to leave Hoff until near midnight. He tried every way conceivable to gain the confidence of Hoff, but Hoff would not entertain any of his pleas. Conncrs even drew a lurid | word picture of a man hanging by the | neck, and gave a most blood-curdling | detail of the agony of such a death. Hoff only laughed at him for his pains, and replied that he would rather die knowing in his own heart that he was Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, cure guarntd. Dr. Gordin’sSanitarium,514Pine, nr.

Borensen, Examiner had and live with the world | believing him guilty. “On Sunday evening I was at home,” | continued the witness, “when a gentle- | man called and presented one of Hay- mond’s cards. He said he had been sent by Haymond to bring me down- | town to see him. He sald Haymond | had been trying to get me by telephone, | but had been unsuccessful and had sent him. I asked no questions but went downtown with him. I did not know who the messenger was until later, when I found it was John Connors, an Examiner reporter. He took me to a saloon on Post street, and there I found Mr. Garrett and Haymond. I at once realized that I had been led into a trap and that they were after the Hoff confession that Haymond had A been | telling the Examiner people about. Garrett asked all to drink, but I| suspected there might be a plan to | drug me and I refused. I refused to | talk about a confession with them and | got away from them as quickly as I could. I had one or two drinks with Mr. Garrett and Mr. Connors after en- tering the place, but I took good care to take my liquor out of the same bot- tle that Mr. Garrett did, for fear of a drug being put in what might be given to me.” - The witness denied that he had ever intimated that there was a confession in existence and flatly contradicted the | evidence given by Mr. Garrett to the effect that he had hinted that he would get a confession if he were paid wel enough for it. Argument will be heard in the case this afternoon at 4 o’clock. SCANT HOPE FOR HIS LIFE The Hangman’'s Noose Grow- ing Tighter Around Hoff’s Neck. The testimony of five more witnesses was taken yesterday in the case af Al- bert Hoff, who is accused of the mur: | der of Mrs. Clute at 803 Guerrero street | 1ast December, and the evidence of | | each one of them went a long way to- | | ward fixing the noose around the neck of the man on trial for his life. Hoff is | now a more interested spectator in the proceedings of the court and scarcely a | word of the testimony of the witnesses | against him escapes his notice. When the trial first commenced he sat beside his attorneys with an air of bravad. and carelessness about him, but now that is all gone. When the awfulnes: of his situation dawned upon him asthe | trial progressed he began to show | signs of uneasiness, but he tried to hide | his feelings behind a mask of joculari ty. That, however, son wore off, and now he makes no attempt to conceal | his uneasiness. The first witness called yesterday was Miss S. R. Blanchard, who had a lease of the premises at 803 Guerraro} street, where the murder took place. | She rented the lower floor of the house | to L. R. Legg, and the day before the | murder Mrs. Clute took the whole of | the upper floor except one room. She said she had occasion to go through the rooms frequently, and when she was shown the coupling pin with which the life was beaten out of Mrs. Clute | she said she had never seen the weapon | about the house. | The intention of the prosecution is to | show that the weapon had been taken to the house by the accused murderer the day the crime was committed. Percy Armstrong, an eleven-year-old boy, who resided at 12 Liberty street, | was called to the stand. He testified to seeing Hoff going down Liberty street, from Guerrero to Valencia, on the afternoon of the murder at 5:15 o'clock. That was only a few minutes after the crime was committed, and Hoff was fleeing from the scene of the murder. £ | Mrs. Armstrong, the mother of the | boy, corroborated the testimony of the 1ad in fixing the time at which he had seen Hoff on the afternoon of the crime. Harry Jackson, a carpet layer, told of having called at the house at 803 Guerrero street in company with Jo- seph Foley to lay some matting on one | of the rooms of the flat Mrs. Clute had | taken. He sald they arrived at the! | | house at 3:55 p. m., and were admitted to the house by Mrs. Clute. They went upstairs, and the witness and his com- panion were engaged at their work | when Hoff entered the house. Jackson | was only at the house a few minutes, | and when he left the anly persons on | the flat were Hoff, Mrs. Clute and his | companion, Foley. Joseph Foley testified to laying the matting on the floor of one of the rooms of the flat, and when he had completed his work at about 5 o’clock he went away, leaving Mrs. Clute and Hoff in the house. The cross-examina- tion of Foley was in progress when the court adjourned. —_——— In the Divorce Courts. Judge Seawell yesterday granted Ada ‘W. Childs a divorce from George Childs on the ground of willful neglect. The fol- lowing new suits for divorce were com- menced yesterday: Etta Sorensen from esertion; Anna Kenny from P. H. Kenny. failure to provide; Katie Ruef from William Ruef, failure to provide, and Mary Silva from Peter Silva, desertion. R e ‘Were Unable to Agree. The jury in the case of Wesley T. Lewis, accused of having feloniously as- saulted Florence Ready on May 25 last, was discharged last evening by Judge Dunne. The jurors, after being out eight- een hours, returned to court and an- nounced that it was impossible for them to agree on a verdict. | schooners. WILL SAIL FOR KOTZEBUE SOUND A Fleet of Sailing Vessels Bound for the Kowak Gold Fields. The Battleship Oregon Is Now Ready to Sail at a Mo- ment’s Notice. Salling of the Walla Walla for Puget Sound Ports Crowded With Passengers. When Captain Cogan put the bark Alaska on the berth for the Kotzebue Sound gold fields he little thought the rush would assume the dimensions it has. The Alaska was soon filled up and the Northern Light was purchased and got ready for the trade. When all the pas- senger accommodations were taken Cap- tain Cogan withdrew, and ever since has been getting a stern wheel steamer ready and perfecting his arrangements for a start the latter part of next month. The rush was not fairly under way then, however, and the demand for pas- sage to the Kowak River has been so great that at the present time there are on the berth for Kotzebue Sound the barkentines Catherine Sudden, Jane A. Falkinburg and Leslie D, barks Mermaid and Bounding Billow and a couple of The Falkinburg was brought over from Oakland Creek yesterday and | was docked at Howard-street wharf. She will be built up in order to provideaccom- modations for about 150 passengers, and a stern wheel steamer will be broughtalong 1o take the prospectors up the rivers. The lumber for the steamer is now being dis- charged at Sausalito and the work of construction will begin at once. e steamer Walla Walla left for Puget terday crowded with pas- sengers and Ireight. In order to provide for the 500 and odd souls she took away, one hundred berths had to be built up in the vessel between Wednesday evening and yesterday morning so that all on board might have a place in which to sleep. The majority of the passengers were taking advantage of the cheap rates East, but still there was a good number of Klondikers aboard. Among them was A. J. Rosborough, late wharfinger at ‘Washington and Clay streets. A host of his friends on the water front were down to see him off, and “Alec” was almost broken-hearted over having to leave them all. As he promised all and sundry a good-sized nugget on his return the wishes for a speedy and successful round trip were many and fervent. The British Steamer Cape Otway is_on her way from Australasia with a load of Klondikers. She left Auckland, N. Z., on the first of this month and is to stop at Fiji, Samoa, and Hawali on her way. She will coal at San Francisco and will then proceed to St. Michael direct. The Cape Otway is & new vessel on her maiden voyage. Henry Peterso: launch Willlam D took a distingui arty around the bay erday. composed of Ar- hur all of aine, the Democratic ndidate for President, his son, Frank Sewall, tain Baker of the ship Kenilworth, and W. A. Morrow, son of Judge Morrow. The launch stopped at Oakland long wharf and Mr. spected closely the fac sugar brought here by sailing vessels from Hawaii to the East. The steamer Leewenaw, now out 14 from Boston with coal for John enfeld's Sons, was formerly the Brit- ish steamer Earnwell. She was purchased | ¢ the Saginaw Steamship Company and 000 spent on her in repairs. She was rechristened and placed under the Ameri- can flag. The sailors aboard the battleship Ore- gon are on the tenter hooks to get away. | They are confident that there is going to be a war and they want their vessel to be as far on her way toward the Atlantic as possible when hostilities commence. Every man’s wash was taken aboard yes- terday and the warship is now ready to sail at & moment’s notice. She has 1600 tons of coal in her bunkers. The water tanks have all been replenished and the magazines are full; so for the first time since she was launched the Oregon is in full fighting trim. The Harbor Commissioners. decided to postpone the work of repairing Spear- street wharf yesterday so the bids for | that work and those also for the treat- | ment of piles were returned to the bid- ders. The commissioners were not cer- tain but what there might be some trou- ble over the work even though the per- mission of the court had been given, so it was decided to call for new bids. The suggestion of Chief Wharfinger Root_that the Naval Reserve's training ship Marion be moved into the stream un- til the rush of business on the front abates somewhat was agreed to. The Chief Wharfinger explained that it was only the urgency of the case that made him suggest such a measure. Several ves- sels are now lying in the stream awaiting an opportunity to dock to discharge. Af- ter some talk on the subject it was de- cided to move the Marion to inner berth | on the north side of Lombard street until such time as she can return to her old dock. The San Francisco and North Pacific Company's steamer San Rafael will make an excursion trip to Mare Island, Mar- tinez and Vallejo next Sunday, leaving Sausalito at 9:15 a. m. and San Francisco at 10:30 a. m. A band will accompany the excursionists. The *cargo of the wrecked ship New York will be sold at auction in the Mer- chants’ Exchange at 1:30 p. m. to-day. - Was Not the Coya. Owing to a misunderstanding of the names the steamer stranded on Baxa Point, Straits of Magellan, was given as the Coya yesterday instead of “the Corocora. All the other particulars were correct save that the Corocora is a Jarger vessel, being 4006 tons gross burden, 365 feet long, 43 feet broad and 18 feet 7 inches deep. —_——ee——— HE BROKE HIS ANKLE. Garrett Cochran’s Assistant Meets With a Painful Accident at Berkeley. *Smith, of Princeton College, who came to California with Garrett Cochran, the famous end and captain of the Prince- ton football team of last year, to help him train the Berkeley baseball team, met with a most painful accident Monday that will incapacitate him from any ac- tive part in the college athletics for this season. Smith was illustrating to some of the students a few of the football tricks that are in vogue at Princeton, and in so do- ing he turned his ankle so severely as to break one of the small bones and tear the ligaments in the leg from their proper lace. Smith did not have on an ankle grace. and besides he wore an old pair shoes. nfCoaCh Cochran said yesterday that he hoped that Smith would be able to get out on crutches in about three weeks, but he does not believe that he will be able to play agaln this season. ———————— A Laundry Thief. George Hayes, a boy 19 years of age, who is known to the police as the laundry thief, had four charges of petty larceny booked against him at the City Prison yesterday by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea. He has been for some time stealing packages from laundry wagons and dis- posing of them in second-hand stores. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
