_.THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCITOBER 27, 1898. 11 DEMOCRATS ARE , STRIVING FOR THE PATRONAG Their Campaign Has No Foundation. AGAINST A STONE WALL| “HONEST JOHN TALCOTT” NOTHING TO FEAR. HAS Points to His Roads and Bridges and Relies Upon Them to Carry Him Through the Fight. Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, %8 Broadwa¥, Oct 26. The great struggle In the local campaign at this time is for the control of the Board of Supervisors, and for the time be- there 1s & subdued interest in other fights. Messrs. W. H. Church and J. R. Talcott are the retiring members of the board, and they have been nominated by the Re- stand. Prior to calling for her testi- mony counsel took occasion to explain the circumstances that led up to the' litiga- tion for her cunodg Eleven years ago the litigants were divorced by a Fresno court. Two children were placed in the custody of the father, and one was placed in the mother's care. Subsequently, | stated the attorney, the child given into the custody of her mother left this city and returned to her father. Mrs. Alex- ander hurried to Fresno and, with the ‘as- sistance of a policeman, created considera- ble trouble, and when she returned the child was with her. Again her father's brother came to this city, found the child, gave bher money and told her to go to her father. As the child was boarding the boat on this side her mother, again accompanied by a policeman, frustrated the plans and placed the child in a con- vent in the Mission. The child was then questioned regard- ing her peregrinations during the last few years. She said she had been trans- ferred from school to school, having been but a week in the Mission convent. She expressed no choice between life with her father or dwelling in a convent at her mother’s bidding. In consequence, the court postponed the case a few days and in the meantime the child will deter- mine In whose custody she chooses to re- main until she attains her majority. —_——— HIS CHARGES UNTRUE. Officer Reardon Heavily Fined by the Police Commissioners. Policeman Neil Reardon of the Seven- teenth-street station was before the Po- lice Commissioners last night charged with contumacious conduct in openly as- serting that Detectives Fitzgerald and Graham and Prosecuting Attorney Gra- ham of Judge Low's courf had destroyed the complaint in a felony case for a mon- ey consideration. The evidence showed that Reardon had arrested a young man named Smith on a warrant charging him with robbery. Shortly before the preliminary examina- tion of Smith in the Police Court Rear- T BOND 1SSUE T0 BE SUBMITTED ON SATURDAY Merchants’ Exchange Favorable.

Church, a Fresno merchant, and the woman who was once his wife, but who now bears the name of Mrs. Alice A. Alexander, for the custody of their child, Cecelia Church, aged 15 years, again occupied the atten- tion of Judge Dunne yesterday morning. The child is now in the legal custody of Mrs. Alexander. Church has brought habeas corpus proceedings, an odd mode of ‘attempting to gain the custody of the child, but, as she is of sufficient age to nominate her own guardian, it is said that it is simply a step taken on the part of her father to find whether or not the child is being properly cared for. ‘When the case was called yesterday a continuance was requested, but before the court would consent to grant the re- ques: the child was placed upon the | The expenses of’ appraisement amount to |/McLaughlin & Co., 777 Market street, G. | clever sleuths of thé Mission district, had | conspired with Prosecuting Attorney Gra- ham to “job” him.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held Tuesday night by the Citizens’ In- dependent Political Club at the offices of H. Burchard presiding and S. G. West acting as secretary. fter balloting was concluded the secretary was instructed to notify the successful nominees of their having secured a majority vote of the club, members having previously agreed that candidates getting the largest vote should have the support of the club on election day, and up to that time its as- sistance in furthering thelr interests. — e————— Henry T. Gage Club. The Henry T. Gage Club held its regu- lar weekly meetin, Monfi:;y night at 133 Eleventh street. Henry Clement, can- dlldgte for Buperior Judge, addressed the club. “It is proposed that the city of Oak- land shall {ssue $320,000 twenty-year 4 per cent bonds, the proceeds to be used as follows: For the purchase of Adams Point (62 acres).. i $240,000 For the improvement of the same.. 50,000 For the improvement of West Oak- land Park. ceeee 20,000 For the improvement of Independ- ence Square, East Oakland........ 10,000 “If these bonds are issued, the annual tax therefor for the first ten years will | be 2% cents on each $100 worth of as- sessable property within the city. ‘A property owner paying taxes on $1000 at the rate of $110 (the average city rate for the last ten years) now pays $il tax. When the park bonds are issued he will pay $11 27. This will be a tax of only 27 cents a ar, a total payment of $270 distributed over ten years. “If a taxpayer goes to Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, three times a year because Oakland has no park, the cost for his family of three persons would be $2 70 per year for fares alone, or $27 in ten years. “For the second ten years, while the park bonds are being redeemed, the tax on $1000 will be $11 69%. This will be an additional tax of only 421 cents per year or a total payment of $4 25 on each $1000 worth of property, distributed over the second ten years. “‘This statement is based upon figures furnished by the City Auditor.” JOHN A. BRITTON, J. K. McLEAN, R. W. SNOW, JAMES MOFFITT, JAMES P. TAYLOR, W. B. ENGLISH, J. F. W. SOHST, FRANK K. MOTT, Executive Committee. The West Oakland Improvement Club is divided upon the proposition. A long discussion occurred at its regular meet- ing, and Colonel Irish opposed the issue of bonds for park purposes. Auditor Snow differed from the colonel. “l object to the whole thing,” said Colonel Irish. “I don’t think that the roposition is fair to the people of West akland. It is proposed to take $488,000 out of the pockets of the taxpayers for parks, streets and sewers for the benefit of the people about the lake and give ‘West Oakland only $20,000 for the improve- mer;(t of its 11%-acre potato patch of a ark. l7“'!'1’16 eople of Oakland have not been treated fairly with regard to the measure. Had it not been for the action taken by this club not a louu word would have been spoken. This whole matter has been urged under seal of secrecy and in a cor- ner. The advocates of this measure have sought under silence to secure a vote in its favor, trusting that no _opposition would thereby be developed. Mr. Adams asks the people of Oakiand to pay him $4760 an acre for land that, when it was assessed for $3000, he claimed to be an excessive valuation, and went before the Supervisors to get it reduced to .. ‘What is there so sacred about the Adams property that it should be treated differ- ently from others? Adams is ordinary flesh and blood. I know him, and he has the hereditary Instinet for looking out for his own Interest.” A motion to favor the bonds was finally passed, Colonel Irish stating that it was understood the motion did not carry an indorsement of the club. At a former meeting the club opposed the bonds. Friends of A. C. Berthier. The employes of the leading wholesale butchers of South San Francisco met last evening at Myrtle Hall, Seventh and Rail- road avenues, and organized a club in the interest of A. C. Berthier, Republican candidate for Recorder. Judging from the interest displayed Mr. Berthfer has a large number of friends in that section of the city. The following named gen- tlemen were elected as officers: Presi- dent,. W. Scheflian; vice president, Thomas Moran; secretary, Charles Wid- man; corresponding secretary, L. An- drews; sergeant at arms, T. Reagan. The meeting was addressed by A. C. Berthier, Martin Fragley, Charles F. Curry and others. —_————— IN THE THIRTY-NINTH. A Poorly Attended Meet.ng in the Interests of the Democratic Candidates. The Democrats in the Thirty-ninth As- sembly District did not rally to the meet- ing in Golden Gate Armory on Ellis street last night, although two huge bon- fires were blazing in the vicinity and a band of music played outside on the side- walk. At no time durfng the meeting was the hall more than half filled and the chair- man, Dr. T. L. Mahoney, had several times to beg the small audience not to leave till the conclusion of the meeting. The cheering and applause came from about a dozen young men gathered to- gether in the rear of the hall. Mayor Phelan was the principal speak- er. He made a long, rambling attack up- on bosses and corporations and declared that he and the Democratic ticket were fighting for the principle or popular rights ainst corporate domination, Bfi!arclay enley, candidate for District Attorney, asserted that all the respectable and honest people in the city were sup- porting the Democratic party and all the evil, sinister and damnable influences were opposed to the party. He denounced Buckley and Rainey and sald it was to get away from their influence that the convention of One Hundred met to select candidates, and it seemed to him as if the selection was an inspiration from above. About twenty other candidates for office addressed the meeting, but as a rule they contented themselves with a few words in regard to what they would do if elected. —_———e UNITED LABOR PARTY. Supreme Court to Decide the Question of Its Legal Existence. An effort was made yesterday by tue United Labor party to get the names of | its candidates on the official ballot by ap- | plying to the Supreme Court for a writ of mandate. This political body on tne 18th inst. applied to Registrar Biggy to have the names of its candidates placed on the officlal ballot. The Registrar re- fused to do as asked, claiming that the alleged party had not held a convention and that the application by petition was a fraud on its face. He said that a large number of the names appearing thereon were not the genuine signatures of the persons that they pretended to represent and that many of the other names were obtained by fraud and misrepresentation. Yesterday W. P. Grace, chalrman of the party’s committee, applied to the Supreme Court for a writ of mandate to comrel | the Registrar to grant his demand. He takes the position that the United Labor | party is an organization and at the last | election polled 3 per cent of the total vote. He meets Biggy's objections by stating that the Registrar has no right to go be- | hind the certificates for his facts. He | says that if the matter is not declded vy | the 29th inst. it will be too late and h candidates will be barred by the fact of | the ballots being printed. Chief Justice Beatty ordered that the writ issue, and made it returnable to-day at 2 o'clock. —_————— HOEY INDORSED. Rattan Workers Offer Generous | Praise and Promise Support. The Rattan Workers have adopted the following resolution: Whereas, The Rattan Workers' Protective Union of San Francisco has existed twelve or more vears, and its membership is entirely composed of California residents of the Eigh- teenth Senatorial District; and whereas, during that period and in that locality John A. Hoey has been known tof us all; and whereas, he has during all this timeto our personal knowl- edge been the firm, unwavering and consistent | friend of labor, and especially a kind, inde- fatigable and sincere friend of this union, giv- ing it moral, political, soclal and financial aid; | and whereas, he is now a condidate for Senator | from this district, | Resolved, unanimously, That irrespective of party we as a body indorse his candidacy and urge his overwhelming election, being coufl- dent that we will thus obtain an active, ener- getic and able man.

Gage, Happy and Confident, | En Route to Vallejo. Hon. Henry T. Gage spent half an hour In this city yesterday, en route to Vallejo, and shook hands with his friends. The energetic labors performed by him dur- ing his recent tour of the State have left no trace of fatigue, and Gage laughingly | remarked that he would willingly repeat the task, together with what he has yet to accomplish. The warm receptions and the good sentiment which prevails every- where for the party is responsible to a great extent for the high spirits of the an. ge’l‘?k';gaepuhncan clubs eagerly awalit the coming of Webster Davis, and it is safe to predict that thousands will be turned away from the doors of Woodward's Pa- vilion on Monday evening. Van R. Pa- terson has been selected to act as chair- man of the evening. —————— A Brophy Club. At a meeting held in Berger's Hall, in the Thirty-first District, attended by about 150, a club was formed for the purpose of advancing the interests of Thomas E. Brophy, the Republican nomi- nee for the Assembly in the Thirty-first District. Speeches were made by Gus Planz, P. Kerrigan, A. A. Friedlander and others. The following officers were elected: President, Louis Berger; vice- president, P. Kerrigan; secretary, A. A. Friedlander; treasurer, George Arthur Donoghue; executive committee, J. J. Hourigan, Ed Nolan, John Campbell, William Offerman, Henry King, A. H. anz. —_———— In the Forty-Fifth. A large Republican meeting was held last night at 412 Jackson street in the Forty-fitth Assembly District. The meet- ing was addressed by Judge A. B. Tread- well and Thomas F. Graham, Howard Black and Edward Holland. The Troutt quartet was recelved with great enthu- siasm. Colonel John H. Roberts spoke at length on the issues of the campaign and after mentioning the various candldates Urged the necessity of active, energetic action for the success of the Republican ticket from Gage down. —_—————————— Slavic Republicans, A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Slavic Republican Club was held last night at Alcazar Hall, O'Farrell street. There was an Interesting address by J. J. Calish touching upon the national, State and local question. It was decided that on some day next week a large ratifica- tion meeting of the club will be held for Gage and Neff and the whole ticket. — e XKahler Lectures on Art. Joseph Kahler, chief of The Call's art department, delivered a lecture before the Good Samaritan Club at Second and Fol- som streets last evening. Mr. Kahler told how the great daily newspapers were {llustrated, and in a very interesting manner explained this new and advanced branch of journalism from the first han- dling of the subject until the finished production of the picture in the columns of the paper. He sald that the methods and processes employed by the San Fran- cisco dallies are far more complete and efficient than those introducel in any | other city of the United States, with the exception of New York. As a finale to his remarks, the artist touched upon the subject of cartoons and converted the features of some of the candidates in the present camp: into ludicrous carica- tures. His address was enthusiastically applauded. Amateur Night at the Chutes. The third ‘“gmateur night” at the Chutes will take place this evening, when a number of non-professionals will make their first appearance upon any stage.

FATHER OTIS WANTS PUBLIC CO-OPERATON WOULD FORCE VICE TO HIDE ITS HEAD. Movements and Whereabouts of Fallen Women a Matter of Mo- ment to Those Who Would Suppress Them by Law. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26, 1398 Editor of The Call—Dear Sir: A line would be suffiicient to dispose of the communication published in to-day's Call from the writer who advocates the localization of the perpetrators of a misdemeanor if we considered it in itself, | but for the sake of the question with which it deals we shall give it a little more atten- tion. In the first place we “~ve never favored the diffusion of the evil under discussion. We have demanded, as we had a right to demand, its extinction. Why, therefore, does the writer unjustly represent us as having declared our- selves In favor of diffusing it? His own declaration that, “If, then, the example of God 1s to be followed,” and we hope he does not think It a bad example, “the evil complained of in this city should be stamped out on the spot where it has existed from time immemo- rial,” meets with our hearty approval, though we cannot say that we indorse his disapproval of the means empioyed bv God in blotting out the evil trom Sodom and Gomorrah. It we had consulted with him before writing that ill-ad- vised letter we might not have classed thieves with fornicators and aduiterers and the disso- lute. Unfortunately St. Paul made the same mistake, and as we have familiarized ourselves with his episties we may be pardoned for ex- pressing ourselves in a similar way. We are grateful for the information that there was but one temple in Jerusaiem, but we did not think Jerusalem embraced Samaria. and besides our divine Lord would seem more uncharitable if he had lashed the thieves out of the temple and there was no other temple for them to go to. St. Matthew spoke of “buying and selling in’the temple.” If he had only used the word “‘precincts” we doubtless would have copled him, and our critic would not have had to men- tion’ the important distinction. He says, I refuse to belleve that some of the statements connected therewith have come from any clergyman.” I take this opportunity of assuring him that it is true “‘some of these | statements” did come from a clergyman and he may no longer refuse to believe. Rut, Mr. Editor, there are one or two state- ments In his letter that are worthy of serious consideration. I shall confine my remarks to them. He says that he “had incontrovertible Droofs that a movement was on foot to remove many of the fallen women from that area and dump them at our doors.” I ask him in the name of the respectable citizens of the city of San Francisco to furnish me with “‘incontro- vertible proofs’” against the promoters of such a scheme and I promise him that they will ! not be left free to attempt it again for some time. No one can lawiully engage in such a tratfic. It is illegal. The Penal Code—sections 415 and {16—makes it a misdemeanor, and it is unlawful to locate or impound a misdemeanor. Because it is unlawful and a misdemeanor, it is the duty of every police officer of the State— and 1 may add of every good citizen—to en- deavor to suppress it. To ‘impound”’ that which is fmmoral and unlawful—even if it could be done—would be to hold it up before our ‘‘virtuous mothers and maidens”’ and say that our city fathers, our local lawmakers, our local police officers, yea, even our fathers and mothers, approved of the vice, at least, in this limited way. But the Legislature in its wisdom thing impossible, and we are thankful that it has. If we admit that it {s a necessity there | 15 no argument for the virtue or the morality of man. Our monasteries, our convents, our colleges, our very homes, would be but store- houses of shame, society would be a mockery and man would be no better than the ordinary brute; animal passion would dominate reason, marriaze would be @ farce and Christ a failure. These women are free, and because they are free they are under no restraint except the common law to which we are ail subject. They can go and come as they piease, they can live as they please, they can do as they please, pro- vided they do mot violate the law. They are not policemen, they are not soldlers, they are not employes of the city, hence they are in no way subject to the orders of our local legisla- ture as to their abode. If you attempt to set apart a place for fallen women to carry on their nefarious practices, it is but to extend an invitation to such women to come from all parts of the State and elsewhere, not to abide, but_to make this place a center from which to disseminate their immorality and to estab- Itsh in our midst a veritable hell of all that ig vile_and destructive of the morals of the city. We do, indeed, agree with the writer when he says ‘‘the evil complained of in this city should be stamped out on the spot where it has existed from time immemorial."’ Make these people behave others do, and If the vice continues to exist, it will not be because a public example is main- tained in the city: The second statement, Mr. Editor, that strikes ne as noteworthy In our critic's com- munication is that ‘he states he knows that fallen women are in the neighborhood of Pine and Dupont streets. He comes forward as a witness and declares that such Is the fact. They are there. Does the Chief of Police know {t? If he does why are they permitted to defy the law. Does the law not prohibit the crime or misdemeanor, if you prefer? If _ he does not know it where is he? In either case i8 he doing his du Again we declare onsible for their that the Chief of Police is res presence. And we ask the press of the city | to join with us in forcing him to act or in get- ting him replaced by a Chief who will. He did much when he was upheld by the senfiment of the community and we were grateful to him. He seems to fear to act again. Why, we do not know. He has left us to commence pro- ceedings and we have been forced to gather evidence that will secure conviction in court. On last Monday an ordinance was introduced to closé these resorts. Heretofore most of the Supervisors have come forward In defense of virtue and we have no reason to think that any one will be able to ‘‘cajole’” or ‘‘coerce’* them into receding from the position that they Yours gratefully, M.
