THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TI—IURSDAY, -APRIL 28, 1898, NATIVE SONS CHEER THE RED CROSS FLAG. “HOW. ARE YOU, .SANITARY ?” Down the picket-guarded lane Rolled the comfort-laden wain, Cheered by shouts that shook the plain, Soldier-like and merry ; Phrases such @s camps may teach, Saber cuts of Saxon speech, Such as, “Bully!” “That’s the peach!” “Wade in, Sanitary.” Right and left the caissons drew As the car went lumbering through, Quick succeeding in review Squadrons military; Sunburnt men, with beards like frieze ; Smooth-faced boys, and cries like these; “U. S. San. Com.!” “That’s the cheese |” “Pass in, Sanitary.” In such cheer it struggled on Till the battle front was won; Then the car,’its journey done, Lo, was stationary ; And where bullets whistling fly Came the sadder, fainter cry, “Help us, brothers, ere we die— Save us, Sanitary.” Such the work. The phantom flies, Wrapped in battle clouds that rise ; But the brave, whose dying eyes, Veiled and visionary, See the jasper gates swung wide, See the parted throng outside, Hear the voice to th ose who ride— «“Pass in, Sanitary.” N the troops to march away from California will be many native sons. They will go willingly, eagerly, and know that the love of the State that sends them forth will follow them to bivouac and battle-field, may reach them as they lie in distant hospitals, and will inspire countless prayers for their safe return. They will know this, be- cause the people will bid them godspeed with tears and cheers. They will re- member it because all that is possible to do for their welfare will be done. This State proposes that her sons shall have every comfort that can find its way | into the haunts of war. The red cross waves close to the stars and stripes. Yesterday the Grand Parlor of N tive Sons in session at Nevada passed a resolution favoring the work of the Sanitary Commission. That the resolution carried an appropriation of $100 was a pleasant incident. It was an earnest of sincerity. It meant more than words alone. The Native Sons are not only in sympathy with the movement, but they realize that many of their own number will go to the front, and they do not shrink from the possibility that some may never return. In this city the red cross has nothing but friends. Everybody is anxious to help the cause along, and nothing but | the exact opportunity is lacking. - Or- ganization could not be accomplished | complete, | in an hour, but it is almost and soon the method by which each one may assist will be understood. - The Board of Education has decided to per- BRET HARTE. mit school children to hold fairs for the purpose of raising funds, but it is stip- ulated that all offerings shall be volun- tary. There is to be nothing in the na- ture of an assessment. Monday night there is to be a meeting at the California Hotel at “which de- tails will be arranged. .The proper committees once appointed, an execu- tive staff at work, and the mioney will come pouring in. Such a small sum is it will be due to a surplus. Yet no gen- erous impulse is to be checked by this possibility. The sum asked will repre- sent the actual and pressing necessity. of the California volunteers there must | be provided a little more than $9000. This will be for the present volunteers. | But soldiers of the regular army are al- | ready in the -South, having gone from { this post. . Although they came from | various -parts of the Union, California now regards them as her own. And there is no telling what the future may hold. It may be that there will be an- | other call and more taken to the front. Above all it must be remembered that the red cross gathers under its’ folds no clement of selfishness. Wheérever there are men in pain it waves for all. Wherever there is opportunity to bring a cup of cold water to fevered lips the red cross is the emblem.. So there is no need to think that because the sum specifically called for is small there should be laxity of effort.” No amount that could be raised- would be in any needed that if any embarrassment, arise | It has been estimated that for the care | measure wasted. There are citizens in plenty who might be willing to write a check for the entire amount, but the people feel that each desires to contri- bute. The sum must represent more than money. It must be a tribute from the people to the brave boys going to the front, a token of common patriot- ism, an offering from friend to friend. — - NATIVE SONS PLEDGE SUPPORT. The Red Cross League of Vital Importance to the Order. NEVADA CITY, April 27.—The Na- tive Sons of the Golden West are for | war. The ten thousand members-of the order, through their representatives who are here as delegates to the Grand Parlor, have made a public declaration of their patriotism and declared their willingness and readiness to shed their | blood for the flag of their country. This | was a day long to be remembered in | the history of the order because it was | devoted almost wholly to the expression | of -sentiments that breathed of love of | country and the desire to let the world | know that the Native Sons of Califor- nia are ready to lay down their lives in the service of the State and the na- tion. Not only this but the delegates to the | Grand Parlor gave practical proof of the earnestness of their loyalty by | | pledging their moral and material sup- | port of the recently organized Red Cross League, which has for its object the sanitary equipment of the brave | men who will form California’s quota of volunteers for immediate service in | the war with Spain. The approval of | the order and the support of the order has been pledged to this humane work |and as an earnest of what may be ex- pected in future the Grand Parlor has donated the sum of $100 to aid in pro- | viding California’s heroes with . what may be necessary to alleviate their suf- | ferings from wounds and from sickness on the field of battle. This action took the form of a resolu- tion introduced by five members who had been selected by the Grand Parlor as a committee to consider measures involving the causes of the present war with. Spain. When presented to the main body E. L. Head of San Fran- cisco proposed the adoption of the reso- | lution. This was acceded to without | debate and the motion was carried | without a dissenting vote. The resolu- tion is as follows: Whereas, The patriotic men and women of California having organized a Red Cross League, to the end that the brave | men who ‘are to lend their lives to the | service of the nation may be better pre vided with sanitary equipment and may receive on the fleld of battle such care | and attention as will in a measure allev ate their sufferings from wounds and from sickness, therefore be it | _Resolved, That the Grand Parlor of the Nativé Sons of the Golden West do hereby heartily indorse the action and a plaud the humane and patriotic senti- ments that prompted it. And be it further | Resolved, That the grand treasurer beé | | and 1s hereby authorized to pay to the | president of the California Red Cross m of $100, which sum to be | ng the work of the league. | it further Resolved, That the attention of subordi- nate parlors of this order throughout the State be- called to this good work and that they be recommended to lend it such | support and sympathy as may under the circumstances be possible. GEORGE E.DE GOLIA. FRANK L. COOMBS. FRANK D. RYAN. THOMAS FLINT JR. JAMES P. DOCKERY. Many of the delegates say that they consider the organization of the Red | Cross League a matter that is of par- ticular and vital interest to the Native Sons as theré are many members of the | order who are among those who will in a few days be-sent from this State. to do their share in'the battles,that will be fought for the honor of the- nation. OAKLAND CHILDREN ARE FIRST. The movement among the people of Alameda and San - Francisco Counties looking toward alleviating ‘the suffering of soldiers and sailors in the conflict likely soon to come has extended to the yvounger element. The pupils of Miss E. 1pson’s room in the Lincoln School, of which T. O. Crawford is the have organized what will be as the Junior Red Cross Society No. 1. ; The object is to. gather and prepare the supplies of bandages for surgical use. The officers of this, the first socfety, are: Harry Leach, president; Marion Walsh, vice-pri sident; James Mitchell, secre- v committee—Cornelia Strat- man), Edith Downing, Bonnie Ray Coyle, Etta Dickinson.

MONEY AND HOW TO GET IT. The California Red Cross Will Need $9000 to Start With. Twelve Ambulances, $350 each ... $4200 Fifteen Major Operating Cases, 5150 each 2250 Four Emergency Cases, $120 each . 480 Ten Ficld Tables, $15 cach 150 Hospital Supplies, includ= ing First Aid Packets, Ficld Tents, Absorbent Cotton, Antiseptic Gauze, Bandages, Pots, Blank= ets, etc... 2000 This is the estimate furnished by Dr. Hopkins, surgeon-general of California, and by Dr. Gallwey, his right-hand man, of the requirements of the Sani- tary Corps of California, when, within the next few days, the State shall be called ‘upon to furnish 4000 men to the | Government. Every dollar of this $9000 is as ab- .solute a necessity for the California soldiers as are the guns with which they are provided. 'But this Spanish war, coming on so unexpectedly after thirty years and more of peace, finds the Sanitary Corps altogether .unpre- pared. Dr. Hopkins says: *“We are on"a magnificent peace footing. When it comes.to real war we lack just $3000 worth of nécessities. The National Gov- nt—though orgdnized on excel- ipl e to-provide for If our men a to-morrow they leave with proper hospital sup- They go to ke part -in a gn wh > will be more us tha ind we of the nitary Corps mpany’ them, knowing that when » sudden’ call is made for our ser s, we shall be handicapped by lack of the ammuni- tion with which surgeons fight.” ‘It will be the t care of the San- Horace | is the inventor. of the litter now in use itary Commission, now thoroughly or- ganized and enthusiastically preparing for work, to supply these deficiencies. But, though they are not yet aware of the fact, a host of small auxiliary branches of the commission are about to be formed, to share in this particu- lar work. There are thirty or forty thousand school children in San Francisco. And every one of these young Americans is aflre with patriotic ardor. “Why,” writes a school girl, “if every one of us gave only 10 cents, a third of the cost of properly equipping the Sanitary Corps would be done already.” But there are some small patriots to whom that “only 10 cents” might as well be $10,- or ten thousand, so una- vailable is it. Hearts as loyal, hopes as enthusiastic, there are south of Mar- ket street as upon the hill, where a girl's candy money in a day is more than nine out of ten children in other localities see in six months of a year. But difficulties were made to be over- come. The remedy for the non-pro- ductiveness of the tiny patriot, beggar in all save hope, suggests the drummer of his school, is that those who have shall be taxed double. “At our school,” he says, “we're go- ing to form an auxiliary of the Red | Cross, and we're going to pay a nickel | a month till the war is over. Just wait | till you see the Red Cross badges blos- soming out in this school!” There’s a whirl of suggestions in these young brains. Some are for a monster fair, where every school chila, be he rich or poor, shall be able to con- tribute his share, in money or in talent. For genius, the first, great democrat, knows not social conditions. Its flams | {s as pure, as bright in the breast that's covered by a threadbare coat, as be- neath the well-cut jacket. So soms are for entertainments, where the gift- ed may shine, while the fortunate ones pay their nickels to witness the con- stellation the united forces of San Francisco’s school children would pro~ duce. . And for the child who lacks both great gifts—who has neither wealth nor fame to lay down for his country? However poor he be, he has still love of country, and in the great outpour- ing he will find his opportunity to be useful. San Francisco school children are a bit piqued that Berkeley has got ahead of them. But they lay stress upon the fact that it is the High School of Berk- eley that has organized the first schol- astic Red Cross association, and that there is still opportunity for a F~>mmar school and a primary school in town to be the first to hoist thc banner of the Red Cross. There. are schools that declare it is their intention to purchase an ambu- lance, or an operating case alone, and that this contribution to their country shall go to the front bearing the name of their Alma Mater in the inscription that makes the gift to the boys in blue. There is a dispute between two pri- mary schools on the subject of first aid packets. First ald packets, these children suddenly grown wise in the use of technical terms will tell you, are | the four-ounce packages supplied to every soldier in the ranks. They con- sist of a triangular bandage, of one- quarter of a yard of antiseptic gauze, of half an ounce of abscrbent cotton | and a piece of -mackintosh ten inches | square. These packages are so com- pact, so light, that they take up little room in a soldier’s knapsack, and when the emergency arrives the first aid| packet arrives with it. These first aid packets cost but 14 cents apiece, since Dr. McCarthy of the Sanitary Corps has perfected arrangements for having them made here. Whic® school shall supply these is the question which has | nct vet been settled. 3 | Apart from the lack of funds the | Sanitary Corps of -California is in ex- | cellent conditiori. There is not a bet- | "ter trained corps in the United States. | The men have been thoroughly drilled in ambulance .work and in the man- agement of the simpler casualties. The thirty surgeons and 140 men composing | the corps have worked wonders under | Dr’ Hopkins’ guidance. Dr. Gallwey | [§ BEING RAILROADED, SE THINKS Mrs. Grainer, an Old Woman, Charged With Insanity. Judge Coffey Ordered Her Locked Up in the Hospital. Rabbi Nieto Declares That Her Relatives Are Trying to Get Rid of Her. SECURES HER RELEASE. Possessed of Considerable Money Left Her by Her Deceased Husband. For a few hours yesterday afternoon Mrs. Bertha Grainer, an old woman who llves in Alameda, was locked up in a padded cell in the insane ward of the Receiving Hospital. She was or- dered into custody by Judge- Coffey, pending an examination as to her sanity. Angered at what he termed a delib- erate attempt to railroad an unfortu- nate woman to the insane asylum Rabbi Nieto last night visited the Re- celving Hospital and secured her re- lease. Some time ago the husband of Mrs. Grainer died, leaving her an estate valued at several thousand dollars. She employed Attorney Peixotto to assist | her in getting possession of the estate, and according to her story she gave him $800 as a retalner. Several relatives of the old woman, becoming alarmed at what they termed her “extravagance,” petitioned Judge Coffey to declare her incompetent and also to appoint a guardian over her. Yesterday the matter was heard, and as the unfortunate woman realized that an effort was being made to “job” her, as she expressed it, she became ex- cited and proceeded to denounce the pe- titioners. Thinking that she was men- tally unbalanced Judge Coffey ordered hie bailiff to take her into custody and lock her up on a charge of insanity. She was then taken to the Receiving Hospital and thrown in a padded cell. | A friend, learning of her sad predica~ ment, at once communicated with Rabbi Nieto with the result that he | lost no time in reaching the hospital. After a short conversation with the woman he became convicted that -she was sane and he sent for Wallace Wise, | his attorney. They both declared that it was an outrage to have -locked the | woman up and at once proceeded to | secure her release. | tig, one of the Commissioners of In- | sanity, they told him of the action of | Judge Coffey and requested him to have a talk with Mrs. Grainer. subsequently visited the hospital, and, Ia ter a short conversation with the | woman, gave as his opinion that she was sane, He then ordered the hospi- tal authorities to release her. Amid many exclamations of joy Mrs. Grainer left the hospital after fre- quently thanking Rabbi Nieto and Dr. Lustig for their efforts in securing her release. Rabbi Nieto has known the woman for nearly five years, and during that time he sdys he never discovered any symptoms of insanity. He strongly believes that her relatives are doing all in_ their power to have her com- mitted to the insane asylum in the hope of getting possession of the estate left by her husban.

After Spending a Few Hours in Jail Judge Low Comes to Their Rescue. ARE CLEVER “GRAFTERS,” Their Ball Fixed ai the Ridiculously Low Sum of Twenty-Five Dollars Each. Policemen Ellis and Shaw yesterday ar- rested flve bunko men while in the act of robbing a gullible stranger in a water- | | front saloon. At the Harbor police sta- | tion-they gave the names of Joseph Wil- | son, Willlam Hartman, George Lester, Gus Smith and William Riley. Hartman was dressed as a ‘“hoosier,” and when asked his occupation he modestly re- marked that he was a ‘‘farmer.” Shortly after the men were arrested another of the gang, who managed to elude the policemen, visited the office of Attorney Arthur Mack and gave him $125 in gold as bail money for his imprisoned companions. The attorney at once sought Judge Low, who was holding court at the time, | and ‘Informed him that he was ready to furnish bail for the five bunko men. For some unexplained reason Low set their bail at the ridiculously small amount of $25 each, notwithstanding, it is claimed, that the arresting officers had informed him of the dangerous character of the mien. As the clerk of the court was present, Judge Low consented 14 take tog money and deposit it witn the desk ser- geant of the City Prison. In the mean- time Attorney Mack had filled out the reguune orders of release and induced Judge Low to sign them. Mack at once started for the harbor station, intending to present the orders for the discharge of the prisoners. Shortly after he left Judfe Low’s court the bunko men were transferred to the city prison. Desk Sergeant Bldwill, acting under in- struetions from Judge Low, after hook- ing them, allowed them -to go on the money given him by the Police Magis- trate. A short time afterward Mack visited the city prison and on learning that the men had Leen relcased handed ‘the desk sergeant -the orders of discharge signed by Judge Low. The action of Judge Low in placing the bail of the men at $23 each caused con- siderable surprise in poiice circles, Here- tofore the minimum bail_has been $150, and at times as high as $500. When taken into custody the defend- ants had a complete outfit for robbin; the unwary, but notwithstanding tha Judge Low was shown their seheming devices he fixed their bail at the ridicu- lously low sum of §25 each. As.the men boast of a “pull” it is thought likely that Low will dismiss their cases to-day without the formality of a trial. COLLECTED IN THE CORRIDORS C. F.

There was, however, one thing which troubled him. He had seen so much of women that he realized how little value they set on roney, and he did not want to marry 2 girl whose inclinations would be to spend on dress and other frivolities the nest egg that he had spent years de- veloping in his pharmaceutical incubator. But how to find the kind of a girl that .would prove the realization of his ideal was the thing that troubled him. Finally he resolved to take his case to an old maiden aunt and get her advice on it. The aunt listened to his dilemma and, when he had finished, said: “My dear nephew, I certainly agree with you that it is a good idea for you to marry and provide yourself with a2 home. I also think that you should know something of the disposition of the woman who you in- tend to wed. Now, I'll tell vou what we'll | house. do. You go and invite all ‘the ladies you know to come up here I will give an apple paring which will be both a pleasant and an in- expensive entertainment. We will watch the girls as they pare the apples and, I think, the girl that pares the quickest and closest .can be safely depended upon to make you happy.” The party was given, the girls came and were watched, and the young lady who pared the closest became a wife before sixty days had passed. The young couple have been liv- ing together for some time now, and the husband has no reason to repent of his choice. The only thing that interferes: with their domestic happiness is the trouble they are continually having with servants. As yet they have not suc- ceeded in keeping a girl with them over a week. young to the party, Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Goodhue of Hono- lulu are at the Palace, where: they ar- rived yesterday morning. H.

From Denver he will visit Portland and the Yellowstone Park, thence on to Washing- ton via Chicago. s —————— In the Divorce Courts. Judge Belcher yesterday granted Jo- sephine A.

A yard of yellow bunting sewed to the end of an American flag that was flying from the window of a photograph gallery, at 31 Third street, aroused the indignation of M. Irvine and Robert McCall yester- day afternoon. They deemed it an insult to the flag, and in their enthusiastic pa- triotism they appealed to the Chief of Po- |- lice to have it removed. Their appeal had no effect and they took the matter upon wnemselves. Armed with a long ladder they climbed to where the flag with the offensive tail was flying, and amid the shouts and applause of a crowd pulled the yellow bunting from the folds of the starry emblem of liberty. _ —_————— Stole a Large Mirror. _W.
