10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1898 HUNTINGTON WON'T LET GO| People Must Fight for Market Street. BATTLE BEGINS AUGUST 6. SPECIAL MEETING OF STREET RAILWAY DIRECTORS. Supervisors’ Order for Removal of Horse-Car Tracks Discussed, but No Action Taken. wrayor Phelan and the Board of Super- visors on one side and the officlals and attorneys of the Market-street Rallway Company on the other are making prepa- | rations for the great battle on the 6th of August, the result of which is of great moment to the people of San Francisco. On that day the legal and, perhaps, phy- slcal contest for the pos sion of Market street will begin. The people quite nat- urally think they have some inherent rights in their thoroughfares, but the ,street rallway monopoly has possession ,of them and does not intend to let go without a struggle. There is but one sentiment throughout | the city in regard to the removal of the /horse car tracks which npow obstruct i\ interfere with traffic on Market street. The rallway officials have felt the force of this popular sentiment and have been compelled to take cognizance of it. Un- fortunately the only appreciable effect tar has been to increase the desire of the Huntington Interests to hold the street indefinitely or force the city to grant them even more valuable concessions for & release. There is a very emphatic difference of opinion among the directors of the Strect ‘Rallway Company on the subject of re- moving the outside tracks, and the two or three public-spirited men on the board may succeed in persuading the others to give consideration to the just demands | of the people for once. majority of | the board are firm in their det however, to stand on what thelr legal rights. The oppone » improvement are depending on a dimin tion of public sentiment and hope that| interest in the 1l die out before the expiration o n day npany to restore the stre N T pspc)Ciul meeting of the directors the Market-street Company was yesterday afternoon and the resolutic ordering the removal of the track discussed at length. Attorney Herrin was present to advl the board .\u‘ definite action was taken, as the dire tors were not all of one mind. Neve theless, Mr. Herrin Informed the new; paper men after the meeting that t company had decided, after mature co! sideration, that it would not actively of ose the city in its track-te: It the | Blayor and the Board of Supervisors carry | out their expressed intentions to remove | the tracks on both sides of Market street | ion they will meet witk no oppost the Market-sireet Rallway Com It was also given out in the Pacific building that not eve injunction would be sued out by the com. pany, but the company will file prot with ‘the Mayor, the Board of Supervisc and the Superintendent of Streets, wa ing them that if any of their prop is mutilated or destroyed by them or by their orders, they will be held personally from i liable for all resulting damage That is the extent to which the Market-street Company will go in their present fight. Herrin reiterated his former opin- fon that “The city officials, according to our interpretation of the statutes and ordinances, have no right to force the Mr, Market-street Company to tear up the tracks and repave their portion of the| street. As long as the pavement, as originally prescribed, is in good condition | they cannot force a repavement. That would be an unwarranted violation of contract.” Mayor Phelan was informed of Mr. Her- rin’s statement that the company would remain passive and not attempt to pre- vent the city officlals from removing the tracks. He sald: “That is a new attitude | for the Southern Pacific people to take. There is nothine new in the controversy and probably will not be until the 6th of | August. We are well fortified with lezal advice and know we are right. We are | not endeavoring to inflict any injustice on any one. The street railway company has mo right to maintain two separate | lines on any street, and will not be per- mitted to do so.” 1. W. Hellman, one of the Market Street | directors, sald last night: The directors of the Market Street Raflway Company have mot as vet decided what actlon | will_be taken in regard to the resolution by the Board of Supervisors ordering the removal | of the horse car tracks from Market street. | In this connection 1 wish to be quoted that there is not a_man on the board who has not the welfare of San Franclsco at heart. But this 1s not a personal matter with us. We represent the intecests of the stockholders, and 18 falthful agents we must protect the property of the people we represent. A valuable fran- chise is {nvolved in this question, and we would not be doing our duty if we allowed it to be taken away by force without making some effort to conserve the rights of the owners. | The convenience of the people who patronize | oo bormotcer limes, cuua also be considered. ege lines are really an outlet for south of | Market street, and thousands of people depend on them to get to and from their places of business. The argument that the horse cars could be transferred to the cable tracks on Market street {s absurd. During certain hours each day the cable cars are running only a length apart, and an attempt to run horse | at the back of Congressman Loud. nee nor al sonal of the truth of the accusa- | were making.

His atwrne{ has not as yet given an opinion on the legul- ity of the resolution passed by the Su- pervisors. FIRST SESSION OF THE KNOCKER’S CLUB. Chairman McLaughlin Re- ceives a Large Delegation of Citizens. A session of the “Knockers’ Ciub"” was held in the rooms of the Republican State Central Committee yesterday morning for the purpose of dealing a stealthy b}u;v The on was strictly executive, and the over-cautious members even went so far as to suggest that the cracks around the door of the meeting room be stuffed with cotton in order to insure against a breath of the proceedings reaching the ears of the newspaper men. The first intimation had by Chairman McLaughlin that anything unusual was likely to occur was when a messenger ar- rived at headquarters and informed him that a large and important delegation of citizens was about to visit him for the purpose of waiting on him and protesting aganst the candidacy of one of our rep- resentatives in Congre: This seemed to portend something serious, so the major, always a pertect picture of self- on, assumed his most dignified and prepared to meet the chosen rep- resentatives of an outraged populace. He had not long to wait. The sound of the messenger's footsteps had hardly died away upon_the stair before the dele- gation appeared on the scene. It con- sisted of George W. Schell, Tho Chambers, 1. Simons, a man named kroo- berg, e ergeant of Police Cohen, and two others whose identity is still shroud- ed in mystery. They filed into the r ption Toom and Stood gazing awk- wardly at Chairman McLaughlin. H: ing been advised that he was expected to receive a delegation of prominent citizens, it was several minutes before the major realized that the heralded delegation had arrived and was before him. When it 1ally dawned upon him he rose, care- ully “laid aside his company expression and the nervous “Knockers saluted Are you the delegation?” We are,” came tl feeble answer, “and we would like to see you privately on a matter of great importance. “Do I understand that your business s to protest against the candidacy of one present Congressmen? that is what we wanted to see There are some newspaper entatives here and I presume that no objection to their hearing what you have to “Oh, We don’t want to newspaper men. We just want a little private talk with you, want it to get into the paper well,” said the major, as ved a deep sigh and led the way into a private room. When they were beyond the reach of prying ears the Knockers drew _their \ammers and set to work. They object- ed, they sald, to the proposed candidac of Congressman Loud and they wante the State Central Committee to prevent | his nomination. When asked for reasons sorts of charges, n that they had no per- ves we have. to he We don't o they would be serving s of the party. fifteen minutes the Knockers away, and then Chairman Mec- Laughlin put a sudden stop to the pro- ceedings. He calmly but firmly informed the hammer wielders that they had brought their wares to the wrong shop; that if what they sald was true it was their duty and privilege to call a district ass meeting and lay their charges be- fore the voters. The State Central Com- the candidacy of D.n?‘ man _and—well, really, he was very busy and he would have to bid them good-by. That settled i{t. One minute later the Knockers’ Club had adjourned sine dle. R g e DEWEY REPUBLICAN CLUB Beginning of a Strong Organ- ization for the Coming Contest. There was a meeting of the executive committee of the Dewey Republican Club last evening in room 28 of the Columbian building. P. B.

DESERTED THE “MOLLIE MAGUIRES.” Nameda County “Straight-Out” Populists Organize a New County Committee. AKLAND, July 23--The Populists of Alameda County, or that fac- tion that cast off their Populistic ralment at Sacramento and surren- dered themselves to the embraces of the Molly Magulres, have found that they are unable to deliver the goods they bargained to the Democrats. The County Central Committee met to-night, and after a long and exasperatingly te- Slous wrangle, those members who have remained steadfast to their party prin- siples abandoned the meeting and organ- zed a straight-out Populist County Com- mittee. D. T. Fowler, the regular Populist nom- inee for Lieutenant Governor, called the first meeting together as temporary shairman and as soon as Secretary Cor- 2ell had presented resolutions of respect :0 the memory of Charles White, Gus Koch and C. 'D. Cameron, who were illed in the Melrose explosion, the trou- ole began. G. R. Reed sounded the first discordant note by offering a resolution indorsing the Bhanahan ticket. The resolution was dereated—16 to 10. Some of the fusionists wanted to have the meeting held behind tlosed doors, but when several of the mud- le-of-the-roadsters threatened then and ig:re to walk out the motion was de- le . Green Majors then got wup and itrajght to the point. He ca‘fled att;}:xlggg :0 the difference of opinion that prevailed umong the members and said they might 18 well diviue then as later, for it would de {mpossible for them to work in har- nony. der attempted to speak, but was was promptly called down by ‘the chair- ol Oberg said he could not see that he tould be of any use in the committee and walked out, being the first to bolt. The matter of permanent organization was then taken up, and the fusionists samed J. F. Gregory for cl an. George R. Reed was nominated bv the straight-outs, and on a rising vote Greg- Or'% recefved 16 votes, to 7 for Reed. ‘hat was the signal for the anti-fu- sionists to walk out. Reed, Btewart, Bol- ten, Paulinbaum and Grimmins left the hall without waiting to hand in their resignations, while Fowler, Majors, Hesse and Hale wrote out formal resignations. Fowler, in presenting his, sald he was guided by what he thought to be right in the matter, and he believed those who opposed him 'to be actuated by similar motives. He predicted that all would be working shoulder to shoulder in 1900, There was a long kick over Majors' res- ignation because he had addressed it to the “‘fusion county committee.” While they were wrangling over it a messenger brought in the resignations of those who had walked out first, and these being ad- dressed the same way only added to the confusion. It was finally decided to de- clare their places vacant and to have them filled by the proper clubs. Cornell was elected permanent secre- tary and J. M. Moore treasurer. B. Cor- nell and J. J. Manning were appointed committeemen-at-large to fill the vacan- cles caused by the withdrawal of Majors and Fowler, and then the members drift- ed into a long and senseless debate, tir- ing out most of the members who did not bolt, and finally adjourned for two weeks. The straight-out Populists, when they walked out, met in the office of A. Bretz and temporarily organized the Populist County Committee, with the ten bolters, Reed, Majors, Fowler, Stewart, ale, Batten, Oberg, Grimmins, Hesse and Paulinbaum. To these were added the names of C. L. Matthews, 1. Van Buskirk, D. R. Ford, R. Reeed, A. Bretz, Mr. Silver, W. A. Thompson, J. C. Estey, T. T. Frickstead and A. T. Dewey. The com- mittee temporarily ormlzec{ with George R. Reed as chairman and D. R. Ford as secretary, and adjourned to next Thurs- day night when a permanent organi: tion will be effected.

The leaders of the finger were lanced at the German Hospital and the operation seemed so successful that on the day it was performed Mr. Corman went to his employers and informed them he would be ready for duty in a few days. The day following the hand became very painful, and that evening when Mrs. Corman returned from a short ab- sence from her husband’s bedside she found him delirious. The family physician was summoned, but being unable to dlagnose the case he called in other medical expeorts. The com- bined efforts of the doctors to al- Jeviate the suffering of the patient or to ascertain the exact cause of his delirfum were unavalling, and Mr. Corman dfed yesterday morning without regaining consclousness.

THAT GALVANIZED IRON WORK CALLED “AN IMPRACTICABLE BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE JOB.” The State Called Upon to Pay Bills Incurred by Contractor Camp- bell While Doing the Boards’s Work, The Harbor Commissioners held a lively session yesterday. The question of the galvanized iron work that was put in the new union ferry depot contrary to the plans and specifications was discussed during a morning session and late into the afternoon, but no conclusion was ar- rived at. It appears that the plans and specifica- tions as prepared Brown called for the putting in of cer- tain galvanized iron work in a manner which Chief Engineer Howard Holmes and Architect Swain declared impracti- cable. The plans and specifications were accordingly modified, and the work done in & much cheaper and easler manner, s0 it was asserted. A few days ago .he con- tractor presented his bill for payment, and Commissioner Harney raised the question of a reduction in the contract price for the reason that the same amount of labor was not entailed as would have been required if the original plans had been followed. W. J. Cronan, the contractor, combated this view, holding that he had well earne every cent that was coming to him. Fl- nally it was decided to submit the matter to arbitration. The Commissioners named Seth Babson, Contractor Cronan named Willlam Curlett, and the two architects selected G. Alex Wright. the present Grand Jury expert, as umpire. Yesterday afternoon Babson and Cur- lett rendered an _opinion upholding Holmes and Swain. In their report they say it would be ‘“‘entirely impracticable to secure the galvanized iron to the frame workflln ‘accordance with the plans and specifications.” pThen Mr. Babson modified his report by saying that the work as called for in the original plans was not impossible, but it certainly was impracticable. Mr. Curlett retorted that he would give Mr. Babson a year in which to make a square inch of the galvanized piping call Page Brown’s plans, and would (hatl he lw‘tl)lld aot T:l eevden tl rtion in the time . poCummissloner Herqu then took up the matter and drafted a resolution that he thought would suit everybody. Messrs. Curlett and Babson were willing to sign it, but Mr. Swaln, the board’s architect, objected most strenuously. It was a criticism of his work and that he would not allow. It was his province to advise the board as to whether the work had been properly done or mot. He did not object to the Commissioners seeking out- side advice, but he would not have those outsiders pass ugon his work. Commis- sioner Harney then tried his hand at a resolution thathwould straighten out all the kinks, and that ended in an appeal to Webster as to the meaning of - practability” and “impossibility. After a close study of the dictionary the Com- missioners decided that the words were synonymous and that settled the discus- sion for vesterday. It will come up again next Tuesday, and in the meantime Con- tractor Cronan has to wait for his money. ThedCommlts;hxa?rs are ::?; 'J':"fihcf;;’, ercised over the disapi X tractor named G. M. Campbell. He had the work of putting in the offices on the Folsom-street wharf, built the shed over the addition to the Mafl dock, and all the offices for the Spring Valley Water Works at Folsom street. He collected every cent that was coming to him from the bor Commission, but fafled to pay a number of tradespeople who had l“gpl!ed him with mateérial for the work. Among these was the Ralston Iron Works an Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden, and the; have written the Commissioners demand- ing payment of their bills under thq act of )x:mh 27, 1897, which makes the let- ter of a contract responsible for material supplied and labor employed on the work. 'Jx‘x?er this law the Btate will have to pay these bills and then seek to recover the amount from Campbell’s bondsmen. oty el MISSING FOREST QUEEN.

Quarantine Officer Craw of the Stutel Board of Hortlculture had a lively time on Jackson street whart yesterday. Some wormy g;[:urs came down from Sacramen- to and Mr. Craw threw them overboard. Captain Nelson of the California Trans- portation Company attempted to stop him and a row followed. The matter may end in the courts, as Mr. Craw threatens to have Captain’ Nelson arrested for inter- fering with a State officer while in the execution of his dutles. Another Klondike schooner, the Carrie and Annfe, arrived in port yesterday. She was bound from Boston for Seattle, but put in here for supplies and repairs.” The voyage of 182 days was a long and tire- some one, and when finally on the 19th inst. the flying jib-boom and head stays were carried away it was decided to head for Ban Francisco.

Kennedy Whipped Allen in a Round, and George Murphy and Jake La Rue Boxed a Draw. The Excelsior Athletic Club gave its first ptofessional boxing entertainment last evening in Woodward’'s Pavillon be- fore a small crowd, but President Ken- nedy said that enough money was taken in to pay expenses. The first event was a ten-round bout between George Murphy and Jake La Rue, which ena.d in a draw. Murphy got. an unmerciful hammering from La Rue in the first two rounds, but La Rue fell away after that, and Murphy scored a lead up to the sixth round, when he had La Rue Broggy. In the eighth round Murphy staggered his opponent, but In return for a right :n ;ila Jaw dhe received a smash on the asal appendage that induced to flow Ireely. L.a Rue had the bess of the last round, wut Referee Jimmy Lawl &fr\lxgght that a draw would be the propg: Joe Reay of the Olympic Club and Phil Green, “a’bold soldier’ b0¥ from Oakland, had a warm argument for ten rounds. Green opened with a_ wild rush at his opponent, and Reay had no easy time stopping and ducking right and left hand swings, which appeared to come from no particular direction. Green is a very wild and woolly fighter and understands very little about Queens- berry rules. In the fifth round Reay, who had been figuring for some time how he could put a stop to Green's very low sys- tem of ducking, caught the soldier a g‘e;zxyyguppercult,“whlch gpened a gash reen's left eye, fro: t blood flowed freely. A e Gradually Green lost his dash and Reay, having discovered how he could reach his antagonist, waa content with keeping Green's face as a target for up- per cuts and some straight leads. Green was game, though, and In the ninth and tenth rounds he tried hard to swing on Reay’'s jaw, but his blows were poorly directed and falled to do any damage. Reay left the ring without a scratch, while Green’s face was badly disfigured. According to Queensberry rules Reay certainly won the contest, but if they had fought ~ under rough-and-tumble rules Green would certalnly have won. Lawlor decided in favor of Reay and for 80 doing was hooted by those who com- posed the “rough-and-tumble” ‘element.
