14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 1898. PHELAN T0 SKIP THE SHORT TERM And Then Run for the Czar’s Office. SEEK OBLIVICN IN TRAVEL HOPES TO BE WELOCOMED AS A SAVIOR. Will Escape the Third Term Cry and Try to Be the First Mayor Under the New Charter. Mayor Phelan has an idea, so large an idea that it has drifted away from its source and is being discussed where politicians gather. He is said to have reached the conclusion not to be a can- didate for Mayor the next term. It is| to be a short te! and while he does not plan to lay aside forever the joys of municlpal office, he likes better the term of greater length which is to fol- low. Moreover, the short term will not carry with it the honor of czardom. It | is to be but the connecting link between local government under the consolida- tion act and the same government un- der the charter. The Mayor’s idea has crystallized into an actual scheme. He intends to go abroad on a sort of triumphal tour. He | will thus get clear of the possibility of | entanglements. Such mistakes as may be made in his absence will be no con- | cern of his. While he fraternizes with the crowned heads of Europe, San Francisco will have to take care of it- gelf. Of course it will make a failure of this, and Phelan will come home just in time to be welcomed as a savior, | bow to the acclaim of the multitude | and accept the nomination which he figures will be thrust upon him.

When the murderous tinker was ar- rested, after a “show of arms” by the “crack” rifle team of the Police Depart- ment, his cabin was searched, with the result that $985 in gold was found secreted under the floor. The policeman who dis- covered it turned it over to Lees, who placed the amount in his safe. Evidently .anxious to save his neck, | Haynes emploved Attorneys J. N. E. Wil- son and Eddie Sweeny to defend him. Through their efforts he managed to es- cape with a life sentence. A few days prior to being taken to Fol- som to spend the rest of his days the ec- centric tinker sent for Attorney Wilson and offered him $25 for his services. “That is all you deserve,” remarked ynes. “If you had allowed me to plead case I would have been nc-[ the murderer of | He has the | quitted. 3 | Without deigning to reply Wilson left | the jail and on the following day he ap- plied to Judge Troutt to have him fix the amount to which he was entitied for his services.

As Wi- son has already collected $80 from Haynes, judgmem was accordingly ren- dered for $1920. Notwithstanding that Wilson showead Czar Lees a certified (‘:(Yy of the judgment he persistently refus to_turn over to him the money. found in Haynes' cabin. Angered at the seemingly childish obsti- nacy of the head of the Police Depart- ment, Wilson, yesterday afternoon, went before Judge Hunt and had him issue an order citing Lees to appear before him to show cause why he should not re- llnt}_li\lsh his firm grip on the money founa in_Haynes' cabin. The order is made returnable on next Friday, and a lively fight for the posses- sion of the money is expected. Chief Whitney’s Body Exhumed. The body of Frank E. R. Whitney, ex- Chief Engineer of the San Francisco Fire Department, was exhumed from its un- marked grave in the Odd Fellows' Ceme- tery last Sunday and reinterred next to 18 working to secure a monument to mark the resting place of the dead fireman. e e ASSIST INTENDING VOTERS. Citizens’ Republican County Commit- tee Will Aid in Their Natu- ralization. The regular weekly meeting of the Citi- zens' Republican County Committee was held last night at its headquarters, 26 Geary street. Upon the suggestion of M. W. Coffee a committee of three was appointed to aid in the naturalization and registration of men who desire to exercise the right to vote. The remaining members of the committee, of which Mr. Coffee is chair- man, are Bartholomew Wren and J. J. McCarthy. D. J. O'Brien, chairman of the head- quarters commiftee, was given one week in which to complete its furnishing. As there is but little to engage the at- tention of the county committee at the present time it was suggested by J. C. Gardiner that the meetings be held here- after at the call of the chairman. The suggestion was adopted. Charles H. Forbes presided over the deliberations of the committee, Thomas B. O'Brien act- THE TROTTERS AT OAKLAND. The Card Promises Ijivsly Contests Between Saturday’s Winners and Other Good Ones. The new system of harness races inaug- urated at the Oakland race track last Saturday under the auspices of the Pa~ cific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders’ As- sociation bids fair to be successful. Pro- fiting by the experience of that day the | management has determined to have only twenty minutes’ intermission between | races, Instead of half an hour, thus insur- ing a short afternoon’s racing. Colonel Park Henshaw and his com- mand have been invited to attend the meeting to-day. Colonel Henshaw is one of the directors of this assoclation and has a string of fast trotters and pacers at the track in charge of James Sullivan, the well-known driver from Willows. The programme of to-day’s races con- tains the names of many horses that | achieved fame on the California tracks last season, but it would not be surprising if their colors were lowered by some new recruits for fame and glory in the turf world.

A Grizzled Veteran of the Civil War Locked Up 1 a Padded Cell in the Insane ‘Ward. Dr. D. Kienborts, a gray-haired veteran of the Civil War, is locked up in a padded cell in the Insane ward of the Recelving Hospital. Yesterday morning his wife, who ‘lives at 30% Twenty-eighth street, ‘went before a Superior Judge and swore to a complaint charging him with in- sanity. According to her story, she was forced to leave her husband some time ago, as she feared that he would kill her. She also declared that he was addicted to the use of cocaine and likely to commit mur- der when under the effects of the drug. Mrs. Kienborts further stated that she had received a letter from her husband dated Stockton, in which he said he had grown tired of life In Stockton, where he went last March, and intended to return to this city. Thinking that his object in coming here was to wreak physical vio- lence on her Mrs. Kienborts concluded to have him arrested for insanity. A Deputy Sheriff, who was intrusted with the warrant, learning that Kienborts had already reached this city, started out to find him. After considerable trouble he located him in a friend's house at 311 Broderick street, and placed him under arrest. Kienborts offered no objection and was taken to the insane ward of the Receiv- ing Hospital and placed in a padded cell. ‘When spoken to by one of the doctors Kienborts denied that his mental facul- ties were impalired. “This is a job to get rid of me,” he re- marked. “I am not crazy. They want to get hold of the little pension I draw every month, and to accomplish their purpose they have concelved the bold plan of hav- ing me sent to an insane asylum.,, ‘‘Last March I separated from my wife and went to -Stockton, where I practiced medicine. Longing to see my wife again, 1 wrote her that I intended to return to this city. Why she should have me ar- rested for being insane is beyond my com- prehension. “It is true that I have used cocaine, but not to any great extent. Frequently, when suffering from pains in the head, I would dip a piece of cotton in a solution of the drug and apply it to_my nostrils. It is ridiculous to say that I am a slave to cocaine. I intend to vigorously resist any attempt to have me sent to an in- sane asylum, and will show the commis- sioners that T am being persecuted solely for the purfmse of forcing me to surren- der the little pension.I recelve as a vet- eran of the civil war."” The doctors at the hospital are unani- mous in their opinio: is n that Kienl sane, ~ e “FORT FRAYNE™ MAKES A HIT The Columbia Presents a Fine Comedy. “BOCCACCIO” AT THE TIVOLI “THE GOSSOON” CROWDS THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE. “Frederick The Great” a Success at the Alcazar and Standing Room Only the Rule at the Orpheum. The presentation of “Fort Frayne” at the Columbia last evening was a gala oc- casion and a proud one, not only for the author, Brigadier General King, but for the Frawley Company and the manage- ment. The pay was a success from the | start, and what with the w ners, the old-time Union cheers, mingled with the startling rebel yell, contributed by some of the Tennessee soldiers in the audience, the présence of Generals Mer- ritt, Otis, Whittier and King, a large number of officers and boys in blue and a crowded, enthusiastic house, everyuung went merrily as could be desired. At the end of the first act when “'Old Glory” in heroic size came gracefully down in the place of the drop curtain, to the music of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” the audi- ence arose en masse, and for several min- utes there was a most stirring scene in which cheers and singing mingled with flg: various patriotic airs from the orches- General King was called for, but de- clined to appear until at_the close of the third act, when he made a brief, well- worded speech of thanks, In which he said he agreed with his old soldiers in Arizona that there was “no place like home—ex- cept San Francisco.” This, he thought, ved by the reception of his humble s and the able work of the company. Everybody was happy and “Fort Frayne’ had a most auspicious introduction, which | promises a very successful run, The play is picturesque, full of bright, pleasing scenes, with sufficient of the pa- | thetic to give a sharp contrast to the rich vein of comedy and humor running through it. There are some tears, but it is mostly laughter, of the wholesome, well-deserved kind, that follows the catchy lines and harmonfous situations. Mr. Frawley as a lleutenant of the Na- tional Guard of New York has a line in which he says “The National Guard is where it ought to be—shoulder to shoul- der with the regulare.” General King, in his speech, said that the words were pro- phetic, as ‘they were in the original lines of the drama, as the two branches of the military were now ‘“‘where they ought to be—shoulder to shoulder The company is deserving of much credit for the excellent manner in which the members carried their respective parts, especially on a first night. Miss Bouton as the unhappy wife of the dis reputable soldier, had a part that gave fine opportunities to show her abilities, well-deserved praise. Mr. Frawley was a most ‘admirable persistent lover and Sam Edwards as Dr. Wayne, the wretchedly absent-minded spinster,* Miss Lucille la Verne, afforded much of the genuine comedy of the play. Thomas O'Mally as the_Irish sergeant created genuine fun, and Mr. Roberts, in the part of the noble redman, fitted the character nicely. Mr. Wilson as the com- fresh young officer from West Point, and Mr. Burke as the degraded soldier, were very natural and acceptable. Mr. Bell, however, could not escape from his own personality, and appeared to be the Prince lifted out of *‘aristocrac; Miss Maude Winters was charming as the willful and loveable young missand appeared to much better advantage than heretofore. Too much of the vixen in Fanchon Camp- bell's lovers' quarrel somewhat marred e creditable plece of work. The old maid of Miss La Verne was a iracter and decidedly funny. rey as the widow of the for- Eleanor C ‘| mer commander of the post presented the part very agreeably. The theater was beautifully decorated with flags, shields and coats of arms, and | the management is to be congratulated | on the success, artistic and otherwise, of the production. At the Alcazar. Lewis Morrison and the Alcazar Stock Company grow in favor and each new play brings forth a hidden star in some member of the company. Last night in “Frederick the Great,” Frank Denithorne, as Baron Frederick von Trenck, lieutenant of the King's own guard, made a great hit by his rendition of the part. “Frederick the Great” is a comedy in four acts, and some been taken with historical to bring it within the scope of the play The happenings of twenty years are com- pressed Into less than. that number o1 months for dramatic purposes, but this has been so skillfully done that the lin- erty is forgiven when the performance 1s viewed. As Frederick the Great, Lewls Morrison presented himself in a new role and won the hearts of the audience and incident- ally a number of recalls. Howard Scott and Wallace Shaw ably supported the star, and_as the Princess Amelia Miss Gertrude Foster was very successful ana gained much applause. There e crowded house, and judging from the manner in which it was received, the Al- caz:lx‘r should be filled throughout the week. Grand Opera-House. Carroll Johnson loomed up as well in white at the Grand Opera House last night as he did in black at the Orpheum two weeks ago. “The Gossoon” gives him a fair opportunity of showing his versatility, and his appearance in Irish comedy was a base hit and a home run for popularity. The play is well supplied with dramatic situations, with two Eenvy villains to the fore. The Gossoon is, of course, the hero. His support is excellent, the ladies of the company being at thet best. Maud Edna Hall as Rose O'Connell, the deceived but unspoiled Irish girl, was interesting but brogueless. The rol® of Annabel Gray by Lorena Atwood was charmingly and naturall layed, while Julia Blanc made lots of fun as Pansy Peters. Her smile is worth a week’s sal- ary. Max von Mitzel was a fair Bernara O Xialley. Maurice Stewart's Rhody Dugan was a neat bit of comedy and shared the applause with the Dandy Darragh of H. Percy_ Meldon. In the last act Mr. Johnson sang My Honolulu Lady” and “Take Your Presents Back,” and sa.nfi them so well that ne was encored hall a dozen times by the delighted audience. The play will” hola the boards for the rest of the week. At the Orpheum. A splendid bill was presented at the Or- pheum last night to a crowded and appre- clative house. Among the new features the most sensational were the aerial acts of the three Watson sisters, assisted by the noted mnast, Juan de Zamora. Falke and Semon, musical artists and comedians, made a most favorable im- ression, and Charles Wayne, the well- nown eccentric comedian, ‘at once estab- lished himself in the good graces of the audience. Jones, Grant and Jones, the colored comedians, and Anna Caldwell, complete the list of the new attractions. The Four Cohans have made themselves “Running for Office,” is exceedingly clev- er and amusing. Tim Murfh in his char- acter sketches, the two Judges in their equilibristic feats, and Carlin and Clarke, the German comedians, were as entertain- ing as ever. Tivoli Opera-House. There has been a revival of comic opera at the Tivoli and a change of bill is promised for every week. The man- agement has made a happy selection of shapely and comely artists whose vocal abilities are second to none.

Louise Royce, as the poet and novelist, Boccaccio, re- celved her share of the applause, and John J. Raffael as the Prince Pietro filled his part well. The introduction of Tony Ryan as the mad musician into the opes is not in the best of taste, as his ente taining specialties are foreign to every- thing presented. Of course, Edwin Ste- vens had a part, which he filled to the satisfaction of all.

The usual large Monday evening audi- ence gave a hearty reception to the spe- clalties at the Chutes Free Theater last evening. Tom Gleason and Lottie Holmes | made their first appearance on this coast and their burlesque boxing act was very unique. Almont and Dumont, mu ar- tists; Jacklin and Grodgens, descriptive vocalists, and Marion and Lynton, a com- edy sketch team, duplicated their suc- cess of last week. Walter and Lola Leon repeated_thelr thrilling trapeze perform- ance and the new moving war pictures were greeted with enthusiasm. Henr{ Maurice Cannon, the big Swiss, is a great favorite at the Haight-street grounds, and his'receptions every afternoon and Great prepa- rations are being made for the Fourth of July celebration at the Chutes. California Theater. The California Theater will be reopened Saturday evening with a great produc- tion of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The cast will include Rhys Thomas, L. R. Stock- well, Jeffreys D.

United States Attorney General Griggs transmitted to the United States Marshal in this city sterday an order to take James F. Rodgers from the penitentiary at San Quentin to the penitentiary at Yuma, Arizona, Rodgers being afflictea with consumption. The prisoner was sen- tenced a few months ago by United States District Judge de Haven for mai- ing counterfeit money. The “prisoner's father was also sentenced at the same time for the same offense. ————— Died in a Street Car. F. E.
