The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, June 10, 1898, Page 12

12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1898 HIS CINCH - WAS NOT [MMORTAL Lees Rebels Against the Truth. HE IS ANXIOUS TO HOLD ON AND HE INTENDS TO HOLD ON GRIMLY. The Head of the Police Department Denies That He Is to Be Forcibly Retired—But He Is. Information that the head of Chief of Police Lees was to fall on July 5 was not recetved by that gentleman with evidences of joy In fact, he denied that the basket had | been prepared for the receipt of his dls- | tinguished dome of thought. He seemed to have an idea that the cinch he had on the place was Immortal. Nevertheless, the information given yesterday is true. Lees has been slat- ed to go, and Dr. Keeney has been slated to take the place thus made the- | oretically vacant. Chief Lees denies the authenticity of the report. Dr. Keeney smiles and expresses surprise | and a doubt as to whether he will ac- | cept; Chief Lees tears his silvered locks and makes remarks of warmth, but of no particular value. Even Com- missioners Alvord and Tobin refuse to | admit that their plans have been laid | bare. It is true that the Commission- | ers were not ready to have the pro- | gramme declared. It is also true that The Call took the liberty of laying it bare. For a long time there has been so strong a feeling that Lees has outlived | his usefulness. that the commission could not well ignore it. It was the| general opinion that a younger man | should have the place, a man of more ! recent vintage, and free from any barnacle growth. Therefore the in- | timation that Keeney was in training for the position did not come as a sur- prise. He is familiar with police work, | holds the rank of sergeant, has recent- | ly been studying modern methods as | in vogue in Eastern cities, and is withal | a popular and it will soon be Y. the denials which have been made had been anticipated. There are plenty of | reasons why the commission should not wish its plans known, though none why | they should not be known. | Chief Lees says the report is due to | personal spite and that there is noth- ing in it, excepting this. Herein he errs. There Is no spite against the Chief, but that the police force should be under control of a competent ex- ecutive is evident. It has not accom- | plished much of late. The police are doing noth- | ing so far as appears. They occasion- ally figure in a procession, and all ad- mit willingly, look well there. At the | head rides the Chief, brilliant with gold braid. But the best work of a model Chief of Police is not done while he be- strides a prancing steed. The needs | of San Francisco demand a man who does not live In a procession nor in the past. The Chief of Police cannot be | considered as an individual. He may be a good fellow, without the abllity to | catch anybody, who is very decidedly | the contra He may have a recor for bravery and astuteness, but be no longer capable of living up to it. He | may have acquired a great fortune on | his modest salary, and, nevertheless, be incompetent to direct men, to inspire | them with confidence. | Several newspaper men yesterday sought the Chief. They wanted an ex- | pression of his views, and they wanted | consolation for the misfortune of hav- | ing overlooked the most important lo- | cal news. They got these in abund- | ance. The Chief assured them that the | statements were unfounded, and they were glad to belleve him. They found | in his denial a vindication and a com- | fort. He geemed to find the same things himself, and repeated the de- nial at every opportunity. Neither did Dr. Keeney indorse the story. To do 80 would not have been in the best of taste. But he did not appear to be ut- terly flabbergasted as the Chief had been. He sald the proposed action of the Commissioners was a great sur- prise to him. He did not know that he ‘would be willing to give up his prac- tice and accept & situation involving 80 much care. The doctor admitted that he had known about some contem- plated change in the department. He thought there was room for many im- provements and that a younger man was needed for the position held by Lees. Dr. Keeney was busy accepting con- gratulations from hundreds of friends. “I was never spoken to by any of the Commissioners on the subject,” he sald, “and while I had an inkling that they proposed making a change never for a moment thought I would be thei¢ choice. I do not think I would accept the honor, not at any rate until I had glven the matter grave consideration. “There are a great many - reforms needed In the department, but I do not know whether I shall be the one to make them. I am afraid the cares of office would be great. I am physician to the department now and have been for four years, holding at present the rank of sergeant.” But the Chief himself was more defi- nite. He spat and sputtered as is his wont, vowing the while that the whole story was a lle with a capital L and an exclamation point. He went so far as to laugh at it, but the laugh did not resemble a burst of gladness. Everywhere the subject was spoken of the resolution of the commission to retire Chief Lees was commended. The fact was recalled that by years and term of service he is entitled to rest and a pension and upon the date men- tioned will go on the roll for the largest pension paid in the department. There- fore those who had toward him the kindliest feeling were not prepared to say that justice would not be done by placing him among the “has beens,” where by virtue of his recent record he belongs. As to denials of the integrity of the revelation made yesterday they cut no figure. . There had been no expectation that a scheme not as yet openly dis- cussed would be acknowledged by the people intimately concerned. Lees would not acknowledge it, because of a desire to resign and avoid the em- barrassment of being kicked out to live on the interest of his money. Keeney would be restrained by a sense of mod- esty, and there is no occasion for ana- lyzing the motives of the Commission- ers. The gentlemen simply are not ready to declare themselves. When they ghall get ready the story told by The Call and denled by rivals who did not happen to have the information will be | that they were outclassed. However confirmed in every pqn_(gulzr. .ln xuxt‘hnd'sy'l Call, MINNESOTA PROVED A TAPIOCA Soldiers Toyed With by Local Players. WAS A ONE SIDED GAME SMALL CROWD SEE THE VISI- TORS MEET DEFEAT. Comrades Cheer Loud and Long, but With Little Use—Frisco Played Great Ball. BY JOE CORBETT. Recreation Park was the scene of a rather unique game of baseball yester- | day, in which a picked nine representing San Francisco met and defeated a club composed of the Minnesota Volunteers. It is not often that lovers of our national game are given an opportunity to see real live soldlers play it, and those who fafled to put In an appearance yesterday most assuredly missed a great treat. The crowd was hardly as large as it might have been, and this scarcity of “fans' was undoubtedly caused by the very threatening weather. The “boys In blue, however, turned out in great numbers bringing with them the Thirteenth Min- nesota Regimental band, and swelled up the small attendance caused by our pe- culiar climate. The stands were liter- ally covered with them, and how they did “whoop her up” when their repre- sentative ball tossers made any kind of an old play. The game opened up in true military style, and really had the appearance of the opening of & new league. The Minnesota band, gayly be- decked in their regimental formed a line and began a procession, followed by - ———105T,THAN ; -NEVER PLAYED ATAl *THE BALL COULD'NT HKEEP AWAY FROM THE and the two contesting teams. On com- ing to a halt In deep center fleld they circled around the tall flag-pole, and while the band played in loud and beau- titul strains the “Star-spangled Banner” an immense copy of the stars and stripes was unfurled amid a tremendous out- burst of enthusiasm among the specta- tors. After this most patriotic in- cident l'n)glre Creamer—who very kindly volunteered his services—yelied ‘‘play ball,”” and in a very few moments all was over with our gallant soldler boys save the shouting, as the San Franciscos immediately piled up eight ruws. After this brief bombardment the game was stripped of its attractiveness so far as a chance for the Minnesota team to win was concerned, as it was quite evident the game_proceeded, each inning lessening the chances of our Eastern friends, until after two hours of good and poor play- ing the San Franciscos came out victori- ous by a score of 26 to 5. This big score, however, does not signify that the game was devold of brilliant plays and other interesting features. The simple fact of the soldiers having a day’s recreation was enough to gladden the hearts of all those present, and the gallant manner in which they cheered and rooted for their colleagues, even when defeat was star- ing them in the face, added additional glory to the occasion. Then the band rendered some very charming and stir- ring music. It even went so far as the “midway’’ In its selections, accompany- ing Mr. Tucker in his rendition of “‘She never saw the streets of Calro.” This very amusing incldent ocecurred when Tucker succeeded Scallon in the box. His walk appealed to the band, who had been inhaling the fumes of cigarett having a decided “Turkish odor,” as be- ing characteristic of the *“poor little country mald,” and so they opened uj with the “muscle dance” music, which, must confess, was not entirely out of place, for if ever a fellow had that *'sus- icious muscular movement” in his work t was Mr. Tucker. a very good account of himself, however, nd if his walk was slightly “Midw {s curves were not. with Mr. Tucker were Mosier, Ritchie and Sheppard. Each of these gentlemen made brilliant individual plays, Mosier, however, outshining the others, his catch being the more difficult. running one-handed catch of a long drive to the left field fence, and was about the best seen at Recreation Park this season. Mr. Mosier should feel very proud of his work. The Minnesota team, although badly defeated, should not feel discour- aged. To be sure they did not play the best kind of a game, yet their work was excellent, when one considers that their facilities for practice are lacking In a ood many respects. Then, again, their S.aring the honors eam was composed for the occasion without an opportunity to practice team work, and this certainly did handicap them. There are some very promising players outside of those who were con- spicuous in yesterday’s game, and with a little more team work, intermingled with practice, they undoubtedly would ive some of our city teams a hard rush. Something in the nelghbprhnnd of $250 will be turned over to the society of the Red Cross. The score 1§ as follows: MINNESOTA. 4 AB. R. BH. BB. PO. A. E.

The men who are to rule the destinies of thenew Democratic City and County Com- mittee met in secret caucus yesterday and began the making up of the slate that in due time will be handed out to the public as the true expression of the will of the local Democracy. Other things than the preparation of a slate were developed at the back-door meeting. There no longer remains a doubt that the Democratic party, through the | new governing body brought Into exist- | ence by McNab, Gould and Alford, has fallen into the hands of a combination | composed of Governor Budd, Mayor Phe- lan and Boss Buckley. The fact that such a combination was formed was suspected by shrewd poli- ticians when Buckley joined with Phelan to secure the adoption of the new char- ter, and Budd, as a member of the com- mittee having in charge the pacification of the local Democracy, went back on the Rainey-Harney faction and pooled issues with the powers that brought the pres- ent Cityand County Committee into exist- This suspicion became a certainty yesterday when the controlling spirits in THE BALL WHEN RUNNING BASES « « ¢ @« §R.RITCHIE WENT BACK T0 DAYS AND CRAWL HIS BABYHOOD ED TO SECGND ON HIS NEBBER COMES, M:n%é SAID HAIRLESS POP HARDIE AFTER %IXO(K(NG THE LL UPABOVE THE CLouDs. . | money. When she refused to tell them | one of the men struck her in the face with his clenched fist, knocking her to the ground. He then jumped on her and threatened to kill her if she did not re- veal the hiding place of her money. Fear- Ing that they would Kill her thelr aged | victim pointed to a bed In the adjoining | room as if to indicate that her money | was hidden there. While one of the brutal robbers stood | over her to prevent uer from making an | | outery his_accomplice searched the bed, | | securing 347, which was hidden under the | pillow. They then left tue house, after threatening to return and kill her if she | | notified the police. The pititul screams of the Injured | woman attracted the attention of several neighbors, and they went to her assist- ance. While they were endeavoring to | force an entrance to the house the aged | husband of the unfortunate woman ap- peared. A police officer named Peshon, | evidertly anxious to .swe.. his record, | promptly placed him under arrest. He was taken to the City Prison and his name entered on the small book. Mrs. Bonnet, covered with blood, was subse- | quently taken to the Receiving Hospital, | | where it was found that “she baa re- celved a lacerated wound of the forehead, a contusion of the face and alsp wounds | of the nose and cheek. For some reason the police did all in their power to suppress the facts of the brutal assault. patrolman named Knight, who, through his nfluence with Chief Lees has beenassigned toautyin the City Prison on account of the absence of Desk Sergeant Bidwill, even went so far | as to prevent the reporters from obtain- | ing Bonnet's statement. He declared that he was running the prison and would do | as he pleased. Captain of Detectives | Bohen, on hearing of his Czar-like meth- ods, promptly sent Detective Dillon to call him down. To Detective Dillon the ed prisoner at his wife said that the first he knew tl had been assauited and robbed was when he walked along Stark street on his way home. He saw a crowd standing in front of his house, and, fearing that somethin had happened, he became excited started to elbow his way through the throng. Just as he had reached the steps leading to his house he was seized by an | officious policeman, who placed him under arrest for assauiting his wife. Bonnet, who is 87 years of age, was ve wrathy when he was locked up an threatened to Institute proceedings against the city for false imprisonment immediately upon his release from cus- tody. 'l‘gu'ough an interpreter Mrs. Bonnet sald that she was mending an old dress when she heard a knock at the door. She paid no attention to it and resumed her work, when suddenly she heard the win- dow being opened. The next instant she was attacked by two evil-looking men, one of whom struck her In the face, fell- ing her to the floor. e unfortunate describes one of the robbers as being about 30 years of age and rather tall. The other was of me- dium height and had a dark mustache. She says that lhe{ both wore slouch hats, which were pulled down over their eyes as iIf to conceal their features. The doctors at the hospital regard Mrs. Bonnet's condition as being very serious, principally on account of her old age. —_—e————— In the Divorce Courts. Decrees of divorce were granted the following mismated couples yesterday. Charles P.

The first business to be determined was the permanent organization of the City and County Committee. This was speedily | disposed of, it being decided that at the | meeting to be held this evening John P. Dunn shall be elected chairman. Since Dunn graduated from the sand lots un- der the e of Denis Kearney he has been a persistent office-seeker and has established for himself a reputation that commends him to such politicians as now have control of the governing body of the local Democracy. The secretary of the committee is to be Thomas Walsh, a member of the Iroquois Club and one of Phelan's most ardent : supporters. An attempt was made to in- duce Harry Kelly to become a candidate | for the position, but he was apprised of the fact that I andidacy was desired | for no other purpose than to give to the | proceedings the semblance of a contest, | 80 _he gracefully declined the honor. Some progress was made in_the prepa- ration of a local slate, but for obvious reasons the work of the caucus In this direction was limited. The nomination of Harry Cry for the office which he now holds was decided upon. Ex-Senator Pinder is to get the nomination for Coun- ty Recorder and Tax Collector Bloch is to be given an opportunity to be re-elect- ed to the office which he now holds. There was a difference of opinion as to who_should be glven the nomination for Public Administrator, and for the pres- ent the place is still open. It was agreed, however, that no matter who the nominee may be M. C. Hassett is to secure the ap- pointment as attorney for the official | when he shall be nominated and elected. | Superior Judges Wallace and Seawell, | whose terms expire with the present year, are to be tendered a renomination. So f: the office of Auditor is con- cerned Phelan is firm in bis determina- | tion that Broderick shall be left off the | list of ellgibles. Whpo the lucky man is to | be has not yet been agreed upon, but it | will not be Broderick. | This is as far as the new Democratic | dictators have gone with the local slate. As to what part the new powers are to take In State politics there seems to be an entire unanimity. The chiefest con- sideration, and one upon which all are agreed, is the defeat of Maguire. Not| Congressman’s late guber- | natorial aspirations to be nipped in the | bud, but the powers have decrecd that he shall even be defeated for the Congres- sional nomination. To attain the first- named object Phelan is to be put for- ward as the Democratic candidate for the place at the head of the ticket and every effort will be made to secure for him the nomination. To prevent Maguire from securing the Congressional nomina- tion another plan has been agreed upon. This {s to hold the Congressional conven- tion before the State ~convention, con- trary to the ordinary custom, and to give the nomination to another man, possibly Joseph Kelly. The success of this scheme depends upon jts recy, the motive of ADVERTISEMENTS. PUUDLVS MUNYON’S GUARANTEE. Strong Assertions as to Just What the Remedies Will Do. Munyon arantees that his Rbeumatism Cure will cure nearly all eases of rheuma- tism In a few hours; that his Dyspepsia Cure will cure indigestion all stomach troubles that his Kidney Cure will cure per cent. of all cases of kidoey trouble; that his Ca- tarrh Cure will cure catarrh no matter how long standing; that bis Heudache Cure will cure auy kind of beadache in | Harry Hackett, P.

By holding the Congressional conventlon first the statesman will taken by surprise and he will not be left a leg to stand on. James H. Barry is to have_ the Con- gressional nomination in the Fifth Dis- trict. Hinton will be nominated for Rall- road Commissioner, and John H. Grady will be put up as a’ candidate for a place on the Board of Equalization. Budd, Phelan and Buckley believe that they are in a position to dictate their own terms to the party, and there is little doubt their ability to do so if they can retain their hold on the new City and County Committee. 1In this they have the assistance of such able lieutenants as McNab and Gould of this city. Fitzgerald of Oakland and_Corporal Braunhart. Al- ford will probably retire to the wilds of Tulare County when he finds that he has been made a catspaw of to haul the chestnuts of more astute politicians out of the fire. The report of the coming in- terview between Alford and his friend Maguire would no doubt be interesting reading. The McKinley Club. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Mc- Kinley Republican Club was held last night. Addresses were made by E. J. Jackson, A. L. Demus, J. T. Hawkins of Pasadena, Willlam Sampeon of Los Angeles and sevéral other speakers. Hon. George Pardee was elected to ?r?norwhry membership. Quite a number signed e roll. PO S The Olympia Club. The Olympia Republican Club was perma- nently organized last Tuesday night at Cali- fornia Hall, 620 Bush street. Every seat in the hall was occupled, and from the interest taken by those present and the number of signers to the roll, the assurance is that the club will be one of ‘Lhe largest and best organized in the ! city. The club effected temporary organiza- tion at the same hall on Tuesday evening, May 31. Judge Severance delivered an able address and was followed by John D. Kersey, A. P. Wagner, David Carn, George W. Adams and others. "The following are the officers elected: President, James D. Hart; ; treasurer, Angelo L. Brizzalaro; sergeant-at-arms, Charles Riordan; executive committee (incomplete), J. G. Shannon, James E. Wilson, Manuel Sidlowski, Upton, W. Poehlman, D. J. McCarthy, August, Kohler and George R. Pidgeon. The club at its next meeting will elect seven more to complete the executive committee. Alice Rix writes about “The Men They Left Behind Them,” in next Sunday’s Call.
