10 C 1SCO CALL, SUNDAY, M 189 CH 20, MOTHERS MAY NOW REIJOICE A Victory for The Call Against Poolrooms for v Women. Chief of Police Lees Issues an Or der to Make Arrests and Sec- | retary Kane Takes a Hand. Stimulated into tardy action by The Call’s exposure of the fact that in this city several poolrooms have been run wholly on the patromage of women, the police department has taken It is a victory for The Call that the re- | spectable element of the community will applaud heartily, » victory which means that a cancerous growth on the morals o* ty will be pared away and a fruitful source ofcor- | ruption to wives and mothers of a wealk tendency destroyed, to say nothing of the good domne to children in the way of remov= steps to abate the evil. the commun ing vicious examples. The exposure of this crying evil was made last Thursday. ¢ opinion on the subject has risen 1o such a pitch that ihe police department has comsidered it unwise action any longer in trying to mitigate the evil. Pro- tests have been made mot only through the medium of The Call, but individually and personally. b and even now y 10 delay Chief of Police Lees sent an order to | Captain Wittman yesterday to detail | two men at each of the poolrooms pat- ronized by women, with instructions to secure the names of all the women who visited the places, and if they were seen 1 once to arrest them there more t as habitu of the place and book them | on a charge of vagrancy. Captain Wittman accordingly detailed Sergeant Martin to take a squad of men with the object of carrying out the | Chief’s instructions: The captain ac- companied the sergeant and his squad, and personall w that two police of- ficers we ationed at the entrance to each of the poolrooms.

Then other places were visited, stly common lodging houses of stionable repute on Market, M Powell and Stockton streets. On street there were eight of these houses, and the last one visited was the “Old Sausalito,” on Ellis, between Mason and Powell. After all the men had been assigned Captain Witt- to their respective plac man said “We could make no arrests of the poolsellers because we could not us any tickets. They women only, but we will stop this business, though it should take all the men in my division. Any woman, no matter who she may be, who makes it a habit to frequent these be arrested for vagrancy. get them to will sell to places will The husbands and brothers of these women ought to look after them. We shall see if a few arrests for vagrancy will not have the effect of calling the | attention of the men to the fact that their wives and sisters are, possibly unknown to them, going to places where they ought not to go. A man | who has a woman relative arrested for | vagrancy is not likely to relish it, but | it seems the only way to close up these | regorts.” It this plan of the police fails, there i another person who will try an en- tirely different method of procedure in endeavoring to destroy the evil. It is Frank J. Kane, secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Vice. Secretary Kane has become keenly interested in | the proceedings, and if he can find that any women who frequent the poolrooms have charge of minor children he will | apply to the Superior Court for letters of guardianship and remove the chil-| dren on the ground that the mother is an unfit and improper person to have | their custody. He said yesterday: “When I read the article in The Call about women frequenting these pool- rooms it suggested to me the advisa- bility of making an investigation of the environments of the children of these women. AE there were no names men- | tioned, and, of course, the reporter would be unlikely to know who they were, I thought I would bide my time and wait developments. “I did not know such pitfalls for mar- rled women, and, as The Call states, | minor girls, existed in the city until I read it in that paper, and I have been debating in my mind to-day whether a man could obtain admittance into these places. I would like to see personally who were there, and especially if any minor girls frequented the place. I don't see why the law can be violated by women and not by men. It seems true that the police should be abie to | break up this poolroom gambling in the case of both sexes. “The practice is more demoralizing in the case of women than of men, as outside of the demimonde class, which | frequent the resorts, there are a great many women with families, and I have ADVERTISEMENTS.

I have had complaints made of boys frequenting the pool rooms, but investigation has shown the reports in | this instance to have been exagger- | ated. | “I purpose to investigate, and if I find that the children of women fre- | quenting the pool rooms are neglected | their mothers’ inattention, I shall | make an effort to remove the children from their custody upon the grounds | that they are not fit and proper per- | sons, for the reason that they are gamblers and the associates of women of ill repute. There was a case which came to.my notice a-week ago of a mother and three daughters living on Turk street. One of the daughters is 16 years of age, and is known to have visited one of the pool rooms within a | block of her home with a woman who bears an unsavory reputation, and when I questioned her about it she ad- mitted visiting the place, but saw no harm In it, as she did not participate in the gambling. “I have information from another source that she has been a capper for | this poolroom. 1 admonished her about visiting those places, and she promised not to do so again, but unforfunately | her mother is a woman of loose habits and I fear that the advice will be heed- ed only for the time. I told her if she sted in going to such places, she | ng still a minor girl, I would appeal | to the Superior Court for letters of | guardianship, and remove her perma- | nently from her mother’s care.” | Here is what some of the répresenla-‘ tive ladies of the community have to say about the evil which seems now in a fair way to be abolished through lhe‘ fight made by The Call: | MME. LOUISE-A. SORBIER—When I read in The Call of women engaging in | pool room gambling 1 was simply horri fied. It is bad enough for men, but in | women it is so deplorable that if there | is any way at all of suppressing the evil | it should be done. I have heard of women going to horse races and betting, but that is a small offense when compared with this. Evervbody should take a hand to stop it, and the police should stretch a point to do their duty, moral if not | | legal. The Call is doing an immense good by revealing the presence of such a con- | cérn, and should be supported by a united effort on the part of all respectable peo- ple. MRS. ADDIE L. BALLOT most corrupt city, It is impossible to rear children here in the way they should be reared. In my opinion this gambling by women is most disgraceful, and 1 think it the stern duty of the municipal au- thorities to devise some way of putting an immediate stop to so demoralizing a prac- tice. I belleve there are constant revela- regarding our city, State and National Government making | it imperative that wives and mothers should have something to say with regard | to the affairs of civil life. Women have a great many foibles, but when comes to affairs like this, In which women themselves take a hand in the furtherance of debauching and demora izing Influences, their moral support | would be a most potent factor for good. | It might be argued from the fact that | women patronize these pool rooms that | in preventing these corrupt practices they would do no better than men, but it is a fact proved by experience that where men and women work together they do so to their mutual advantage and welfare. MRS. JULIA SCHLESSINGER—I think the practice of gambling on horseracing and prize-fighting by men is most derog- atory to the well being of a community. But when it comes w0 women indulging in so degrading a nractice it is certainly time to call a halt. As long as honor remains to womankind there is some hope | for children, but when both fathers and mothers lose respect for themselves, then | the hope we have for the rising genera- tion looks pretty frail. It seems that the police ought to be able to stop these de- moralizing practices in some way or other. If there is no law covering the offense mpw, the Supervisors ought to frame one without loss of time. Mrs. John Pettee said: “‘This is the most disgraceful thing I ever heard of.. In fact, it is contemptible in the extreme. The idea that such a place is allowed to run is more than I can even believe. It should be condemned in every way and work should not cease night or day until the men who are running such disgraceful and harm- ful resorts were driven out of busi- ness. It is bad enough for the men to gamble as they do, but when the women start it is time something was done. Such places are the ruination of young girls, a menace to all and a disgrace to the city. It was a revela- tion to me, but it is hard to tell what may be expected where law is as slack as it has been shown to be in this city. I will do all in my power to help sup- press the evil and I hope nothing will be left undone which may tend to put | a stop to what may result in the sep- aration and misery of many families.” “Such a state of affairs as The Call says exists should certainly be stopped,” said Mrs. Louis Sloss, when speaking of The Call’'s expose of the pool rcoms for women. “I not only think that it is a terrible thing, but I also think it is wicked. To think of women going there and spending mon- ey that does not rightfully belong to them is frightful. How can one help but support a paper in its crusade against an evil of this sort? I most heartily indorse it in every move it will make in order to prevent this state of affairs going on. I think that the paper has opened the eves of many who never dreamed of women leading this sort of life.” | Chis is a it Advances made on furniture and planos, with or without removal. J.

IS MUSCLE Trustees of the Home for Inebriates to Be Sued. The Ex-Superintendent Wants to Recover Back Salary | Due Him. | which are | | Complaint to Be Filed With the Attor- ney-General Regarding the Jewell Trust. Prior to and since March 1, when Dr. S. O. L. Potter resigned his position as he has been unsuccessfully en- voring to obtain from the Board of | Trustees a settlement of his claim for | $1700 back salary* due him. He has | now instructed his attorney, Gavin Mc- Nab, to commence suit against the board for payment of the amount. When the claim was laid befcre the board at its last meeting Dr. Potter | states that the vote stood three for and | three against, and it would have been passed if it had not been for the oppo- sition of ex-Judge Sawyer, the legal adviser of the board. Besides commencing this suit, Dr. Potter intends to file a complaint with the Attorney General of the State against the Board of Trustees in con- nection with the trust fund of $20,000 which his predecessor, Dr. Jewell, be- fore his death gave to the board, so that the interest on the money could be applied toward the care of noor in- ebriates in the home. About six months ago, while the negotiations with the Board of Supervisors for the transference of the home to the city were pending the trustees handed over the $20,000 to Mrs. Jewell, the widow of the late doctor. Dr. Potter contends that this action of the trustees was il- legal, as the trust money could not be returned without an order of court and he holds that the trustees are person- ally responsible to the citizens for the amount. In speaking of the matter yesterday Dr. Potter said: “I protested at the time against returning the money to the widow without the consent of the court, but I was overruled by Judge Sawyer. I was Dr. Jewell’s physician at the time he transferred the $20,000 to the trustees, the interest to be used for the care of poor inebriates, and it was through my advice that he did so. The trustees have since then—at least up to the time the $20,000 was trans- ferred to the widow—been using the in- terest for the care of poor inebriates, and I contend that they had no right, without the consent of the court, to part with the money, as it was a trust for the benefit of the citizens. “Why, City Attorney Creswell gave his opinion that the trustees could not even transfer the home property to the city without an order of court, because it was held in trust, being the property of the people, and I see no difference between that and money given in trust for the benfit of the people. “I have been led to understand that the opposition to paying my claim for back salary is due to the stand I have taken in regard to this trust money, but I mean to see it through and also re- cover the money due me. My attorney will file the papers in the Suit just as soon as he has time and then I will take steps to bring the other matter to the attention of the Attorney-General. 1 | commerce and give to American labor and “In an interview with Judge Sawyer, published in the Examiner last month, | he accuses me of arrogance. My arro- gance consisted in taking exception to his advice on legal points, and the re- sult always proved that i was right and he was wrong. He referred to some- thing occurring that changed his opin- jon of me and he led people to infer that it was something I should be ashamed of, but it was simply my claim for back salary and my protest against the return of the trust money.” —— CANADIAN PACIFIC TRADE.

Members of the G. A. R. to Have @ Room in the City Hall. The City Hall Commissioners decided Yesterday to permit the California divi- sion of the Grand Army of the Republic to establish headquarters in the big mu- nicipal building, and hereafter the battle flags and other relics that the veterans cherish will be displayed in a room ad- joining the quarters of City and County Attorney Creswell, on the top floor. Auditor Broderick brought the matter up, stating that he'had been spoken to about it and that he favored allowing the veterans any privilege that could le- gally be granted by the commission. Mr. Broderick was supported by Commis- sioner Creswell, who said that a big room adjoining his quarters was vacant and available for the purpose. It was decided to notify General War- field of the G. A. R. that the rooom would be allowed for the use of the members of the organization for display and meeting purposes. —_—— Frances Willard Memorial Services.

Crazed by the Startling Announce- ment of the Hlegitimacy of His Child. The fate of Benjamin A. Hill, now under sentence of death for the crime-| of uxoricide, committed some months ago in Oakland, will be decided by Governor Budd next Tuesday. The ap- peal of W. W. Foote, who has persist- ently fought the case in the interest of Hill, and who succeeded six months ago in grasping the murderer from the gal- lows on the night before the day set for his hanging, on a writ of habeas corpus, will be considered by the chief eXecutive and a final gecision rendered, either setting aside the judgment of death, which is to be carried into ef- fect April 6, or commuting it to life im- prisonment. It appears from the evidence ad- duced that there are a number of ex- tenuating circumstances to be allowed for the crime for which Hill i8 now convicted. Attorney Foote, in speaking of the principal arguments that will be ad- x:;xlc.fndg whetn‘lhehcnse comes up for ., set forth the fol as the basis of the de!emaél:mmng o “We will endeavor to prove,” said the attoreny. ‘“that Hill, when he com- mitted the crime for which he is to suffer death, was in the heat of pas- | sion and despair caused by the .start- ling announcement of his wife that the | child whom she had given birth to and which he always thought was his legitimate offspring and the infant she | was shortly to bring into the He became en- raged, and acting under the impulse of the moment, which was one of rage, | disappointment and despair, he took the life of the woman, and with it that of the unbbdrn child. “When he was brought up for trial and the circumstances of the case were placed in the hands of the jurors, elght of whom are now pleading for his life, for consideration he was ada- Jjudged guilty of the crime charged and sentenced to death on the scaffold for the expiation of it. “It was at this juncture In the case that I decided, at the request of a num- ber of friends of Hill and prominent men and women all over the State, to take up the case and endeavor to have the sentence of death commuted to that of imprisonment, as the man in my im- pression was not in his right mind at the time, but was crazed by the an- nouncement that his children were il- legitimate and not his. “‘About six months ago,” he con- tinued, “I applied to the Governor for a pardon, but being ill at the time my petition fell into the hands of Lieuten- ant Governor Jeter, who was acting chief executive in the absence of Budd. “Jeter went over the arguments of the case and refused to grant a com- mutation of the original sentence of death; but his refusal to ac. in the mat- ter will have no bearing in the present petition, as he has advised Budd not to act on his judgment in the case, but consider the arguments for himself and pass judgment on them according to his own discretion.” Foote claims he is recelving absolute- ly no remuneration for his services and that he is defraying the expense of car- rying on the defense from the lucre in his own purse. “I think the man is deserving of len- fency,” he said, *g"d heing of this opin- ion I intend to fight the case in behalf of my client to the end, whatever that may be."” The following are a few ¢° the names of prominent men that have been af- fixed to the petition for clemency: George W. Baker, F. W. Mowry, Judge Carroll Cook, Stephen White, Judge Oster of San Bernardino County and George La Monte. Foote claims he has a letter in his possession which was written by a sis- ter of the murdered woman on behalf of the man who was resposible for her death. | Making a Technical Defense. Judge Cook vesterday listened to argu- ments on the motion made to dismiss the indictment against School Director Wal- ler, who was recently indicted by the A PECULIAR FACT. Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia in Its Worst Form and Do Not Know It. A weak stomach is the cause of about nine-tenths of all disease, yet in most cases the wrong thing is treated | and the true cause overlooked. This is because a weak digestion pro- duces symptoms resembling nearly every disease, because it weakens and disturbs the action of every nerve and organ in the body; poor digestion causes heart trouble, kidney troubles, lung weakness and especially nervous breakdown or nervous prostration; the nerves cannot stand the wear and tear unless generously fed by well digested, wholesome food. Keep the digestion good and no one need fear the approach of disease. Mrs. M. H. Lee of Rochester, N. Y., writes: For the sake of suffering hu- manity I want to say that from a child I had a very, weak stomach, threw up my food very often after eating, and after a few years' nervous dyspepsia resulted, and for more than twenty years 1 have suffered inexpressibly. I tried many physicians and adver- tised remedies, with only temporary re- lief for nervous dyspepsia, and not u: til I commenced taking Stuart’s Dys- pepsia Tablets last September, six months ago, have I been free from suf- fering, caused by the condition of my nerves and stomach; in short, chronic nervous dyspepsia. I have recommended Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets to many of my friends, and now I want in a public way to say they are the safest, pleasantest and I believe surest cure for stomach and nerve troubles. I write my honest opinion, and I will gladly answer any letter of inquiry at any time and feel that I am, in my small way, helping on a good cause. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is not a patent medicine, but they contain only the fruit salts, digestive acids and peptones necessary to help the weak stomach to promptly &nd thoroughly digest food. All druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets at 50 cents for full-sized pack- age, and any one suffering from ner- vous dyspepsia, sour stomach, head- aches, acidity, gases, belching, etc., will find them not only a quick relief | but a radical cure. Send to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., for little book describing caunse and cure of stomach troubles, giving symp- toms and treatment of the various | forms of indigestion. world | The defense interposed on the ground that if Walle: was guilty of any crime it would not amount to more than a misdemeanor, while the indictment charges After listening to the argument of coun- sel, Judge Cook gave both sides one week’s time in whicn to file their briefs, citing the law bearing on the case. —— —e———— OPIUM SMOKING. Extent to Which the Drug Is Used Shown by the Enormous Duty Collected. The Surveyor of the Port has been fig- uring on the duties being received for opium imported from China into this port. He has found that during the year 1807 there were received as duties on lai yuen (opium for smoking purposes) $728,408 85. From January 1, 189, and up to and In- cluding yesterday there were paid as du- ties on the same article §146,340. There are in the bonded warehouse 20,315 pounds of 1ai yuen on which the duty at $6 per pound is_$121,890. It is expected that the Belgic, due here next Tuesday, will bring between $300,000 and $400,000 worth of opium. This drug is distributed from San Fran- cisco all over the United States. The fact that it is of the kind used only for smok- ing shows the great extent to which a vicious and demoralizing habit is prac- ticed, not only among the Chinese, but among Americans. Opium used for medicine and for the manufacture of morphine, laudanum and paregoric is imported into the United States from Turkey, and is known com- merclally as Turkish opium. It comes to California via New York by rail —_—e————— Starving in Squalor. Secretary Dimpfel of the Eureka So- ciety for the Protection of Children has taken from their parents the children of Charles and Maggle Patterson. From in- formation received by him it was evident that the little ones, who are seven and two and a half years of age, were being sadly neglected by their mother. The lattér is said to be given to drink and the father is none too particular, al- though he provides fairly well for the household. The money goes for liquor and the children are compelled to go hungry much of the time in consequence. When the secretary found the children they had not had anything to eat for at least twenty-four hours. Their surround- ings were filthy In the extreme.
