Our tender called for insur- ce to satisfy the board—that is, wmple to satisfy their views in the mat- :r—and a committee was appointed to scertaln what the proper insurance hould be. Members of the corporation ent to a number of large insurance ympanies in the city, the names of hich I don't know, and told them the icts of the case. The committee was teered to call on these companies, and ‘hen the companies were asked how uch insurance they would carry it as found that they would only carry 324,000 insurance on these buildings, h was another pretty good plece of vork.

I never was able to get the three men to meet me at the same time, and as a consequence never re- celved any satisfaction. 1 approached Snook regarding the matter at a later date and was told that I had got all I was going to get, and if I did not quit kicking about it I would be assessed out of what had already been given to me. Q. Did you ever get any money from them? A. From the corporation? Q. Yes: | A. Not from anybody whom I have mentioned. Q. Well, you hypothecated your stock, didn’t you? A. Yes, sin. Q. How much did you get for that? A. Subsequently, when James A. Snook was elected president of the cor- poration— Q. [Interrupting] that? A. Shortly after the lease was granted and Henry Trevor elected sec- retary and treasurer I decided to hy- pothecate my stock. I first borrowed $200 from Sanford Plummer. Shortly after that, needing more money, 1 bor- rowed from Henry Trevor $500, turning the stock over to him. Since that time I have received from Mr. Trevor $1300 in all. Q. For which he holds your stock as security? A. He holds my stock as security. Q. Did you ever have any dealings | with the members of the Board of Ed- ucation personally? A. What do you mean? In the way of passing coin? Q. No; in connection with this busi- About when was THERE WAS MO BAIBE ce to Reynolds’ story: i $5 lence or his information.” “Reynolds’ tale is ) from Jim Snook. It 1bsurd in the highest bid and they reatened to tell wh formation to the he knew of the newspapers, as I of the turning over of this property to the corporation until the city had taken time to eject certain bad tenants who were not paying rent, leaving us a clear fleld. We did not want the property until after those tenants were out, and I believe the city paid the ex- pense of throwing them out. Q. Then the board has al s been very lenient in the matter of not ex- acting rent on the date specified. A. Those were the services rendered. Q. When was Waller pald this $4000? A. He was paid it at the time the contract, or immediately after the con- tract was turned over to the corporas tion. Q. Immediately after the award of the Board of Education? A. No, sir; not the award, but imme- diately after the execution of the con- | tract. Q. Did you see it paid? A. No, sir. Q. Who paid it to him? A. It was paid to Waller, as I under- stand, by James A. Snook. Q. Who told you that Snook paid it? A. T don't recollect just now how the conversation occurred, but I asked it Waller had been paid. He said “Yes. Yes, of course he has been paid.” And “Well, how did you get around You have got to get that into the books of the corporation, haven't you?” And he said: “Oh, that s easy”—this is Williams tal He said: “Oh, that is easy. as counsel fees for Jake Samuels.” Q. Do you know. whether or not that item appears as counsel fees appear on the books of the company? A. I am satisfied that it does, but I don't know of my own personal knowl- edge. b Q. You never have seen it? A, No, sir; I never have asked for the books. Q. What were you to get for your services? A. I was to recelve 25 per cent per cent of the 10,000 shares constitut- ing the capital stock of the corpora- fon. & > Q. What became of the other 25 per cent? A, Tt was paid for the use of a certi- fied check for $5000—the check that took the place of the ome put up by Mr. | Martin—and for the use of $5000 in coin paid to the Board of Education. Q. You say that Waller was paid $4000, and that he received a 31000 se- cretly for his personal services? res, sir. & Aeei that makes the $3000 of which you spoke? A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you ever get your stock? A. I received 1000 shares. I demand- ed a settlement after the lease had been granted and the contract entered into by the Board of Education. I dema,nd“: ed a settlement and asked for my 1875 shares. Snook said, “That is all right. We will hold a meeting some of these days and get the matter all S[rnighl.- ened up. 1 am tired now and don't want to go into these things now, but | we will fix it up later.” And I said, “All right.” About a week later I walked Into the office of the Justices’ Court clerk and I said, “Well, Ed, how about We have at meeting?” and he said ;};TA; that meeting,” and I said, “Well, that is funny. I wasn't the:c,” and he handed.me a certificate for 1000 shares, which T refused to accept at the time, and I told him that that was not my share of the thing and called his atten- tion to the fact that he and I had had | @ distinct understanding that I was to receive 25 per cent of what stock was left of the 7500 shares after the capital- ists had been paid. He said, “I Know that, Jack, but Crimmins and Snook overruled me,” and I said, “Snook 1s foolish. I had a distinct understanding with him also. He knows I am entitled to 1875 shares of it,” and he sald, “Well, I can’t help it, they overruled me, but I am willing to do what is right with you. I am willing to give you as much as my share of this to secure you,” and 1 said, “Well, that looks like business. Let's get them together.” And he sald, “I will see that you are all right. You go and see Crimmins and Snook.” I went up there and Crimmins said, “Bring Snook and Williams at 8 o’clock to-night and we will fix this thing up to-night.” But when I wert up there Snook wasn't there and he said to wait until the next afternoon and Willlams wasn't there, and I couldn’t get those two together and I never got my 1875 shares. I had, in the meantime, accepted this 1000 shares because I thought it was better to have half a loaf if I could not get a We have got that down | | “of 75 | | ness that you transacted with Director A. Q. Yes. Who were thev? A. Mr. Waller, as I have described, | and Director Head. | Q. What was the nature of the busi- | Head? A. Director Head was at that time a candidate for the nomination for Sher- iff. Mr. Crimmins called on him and told him that he would like to have | him stand in on this proposition and | Head promised to do so. Mr. Snook was instructed to keep him in line, to | him in the City Hall on this or any watch him. Mr. Snook was incapaci- | tated from business on the night that the lease was grante.. and I heard that Head had threatened to bolt and refused to stand by the corporation. I immediately telephoned to Philip Crim- mins, telling him the state of facts and asking him what I should do. He sald: “Hold things out as long as you can and 1 will go out there. Meet me in| the corridor.” He came out immedi- ately. met him in the corridor, and | he said, nd Ed Head out here.” He | got into a dark doorwav vpposite the | head of the stairs leading to the Board of Education rooms and I sent Head | out to him. The conversation resulted | in Director Head advocating all mea- | sures looking to the welfare of the com- pany. | 0."Did you ever talk business person- | ally to any of these members except | Waller? | A. No, sir; all of that was done by Snook. Q. Then you don’t know as a matter of fact that any of them received that | money which Waller had agreed to | pay them? A. Except from the fact that they all stood up and voted as they were ex- pected to vote, reducing our bond and insurance and making our fight in every way. Q. What are you going to do to ob- tain the balance of 875 shares of the | capltal stock of this corporation which | is due you under your agreement? | A. 1 have begun a suit against the corporation and those with whom I hai | agreements to pay me one-quarter 2 7500 shares of that stock for the balance due me, and I am going to make efforts to press the suit to trial to force them to pay me what is due me.

He Never SusueM That the Lincoln School Case Had Been Juggled With, School Director Edward L. Head, when questioned last night regarding | the radical party complaints are heard | the charges made, disclaimed all knowledge of any crooked dealings in the transaction, and further said that he could not see how any could be done. “I voted to award the contract to the syndicate,” he sald, “simply because it was the highest bidder. Its offer was $4000 a month and the next highest was about $50 less. “Mr. Crimmins never approached me at any time concerning the transfer of the property. I did mention it to him once at his place of business. At that time the board had not fully decided whether it would be wiser to lease the property as a whole or in portions, and I asked Mr. Crimmins if he intended putting in a bid for the corner he oc- cupies, and he sald he hardly thought he would. I have never spoken to other matter.” —_— SOME SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS ARE PREDICTED Gloomy View of Gau- lois on Philippines. Special Dispatch to The Cail, PARIS, Nov. 12—The Gaulois this afternoon, after referring to the Philippine question as pre- senting serious complications, he thing to be faced is no longer a renewal of the conflict between America and Spain, ow- ing to a rupture of the negotia- tions, but general European conflict. The Fashoda incident is only the prologue to a biz drama which is soon to occupy the theater of international poli- tics and on reading the papers of Berlin, London and Madrid one feels that something uncomfort- able is in the air. Spain knows that resistance upon her part, isolated as she is, would give no chance of succe and she is looking for a friend in Europe. Before Fashoda any such search would be useless, but now Eng- land is anxious to satisfy her ambitions in the far t."” Continuing, the Gaulois as- serts that Great Britain is try- ing to bring about an offensive and defensive alliance with the United States, of which alliance, according to the Gaulols, Great Britain alone would reap the benefit. The Gaulois then says: “Her programme is the following: She will induce the United States to refuse any concession to Spain and to refuse coaling stations in the Philippine Islands to Russia and Germany. A con- flict breaks out; England, as America’s ally, intervenes, which forces the other powers having interests in the East to take up arms. The question becomes no longer that of the Philippines, but that of China, and finally a European war breaks out.” - MINOUS FEATURES ‘ OF THE NEAR FUTURE‘ Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1895, by James Gor- don Bennett. LONDON, Nov. 12.—Lord Salisbury's momentous speech is still the cenuul‘ topic of interest, but it failed to do away with that unrest which is the dominant feature of the situation. His reference to the United States is ve- | sented by that section of the commun- ity which is loudest in advocating an | Anglo-American alliance.

That a wen- eral conflagration may be the outcome of the near future is an opinion fre- quently met with here during the last few days. Two Consular Appointments.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.—The greeting given to Henry T. Gage by the citizens of Los Angeles to-night at the reception by the Co- lumbia Club was something the like of which has never before been seen here. Between the hours of 8 and 11 o’clock 6000 people passed along in line in the clubrooms and shook the hand of the Governor- elect. All details had been carafully arranged to receive the tremen- dous crowd it was known would desire to meet Mr. Gage. President Bushnell, Vice President Ensign, Colonel J. B. Neville and other members of the club did not fail in their calculations. Two thousand peopis passed each hour, and it was three hours before the crowd ceased to come. Mr. Gage was flanked on either side by Senator Robert N. Bulla and Captain H. Z. Osborne. Congressman-elect Russell J. Waters also was at hand. . The crowd entered the club and passed down a line of about 100 feet upon either side of which members of the reception committee of the club were standine. President Bushnell presented each visitor to Mr. Gage and then to Mr. Waters and the guests then filed out. The club quarters were beautifully decorated with flags, bunting and potted plants. Across the street in front were three streamers of electric lights in red, white and blue. Prior to the reception there was a parade headed by the Americus Club of Pasadena and including the Army and Navy Republican League. There were 25,000 people upon the streets to view the specta- cle, and they were well repaid, for it was very beautiful. As the Gov- ernor’s carriage passed down the street the cheering thousands went wild with enthusiasm. In speaking of this after the reception to- night Mr. Gage sald: “I can truthfully say that when I looked to either side of me as the hack was driven down Spring street and saw thousands of my . neighbors whom I knew all so pleased and happy it was really the proudest moment I have ever known since the day I first realized I was on earth.” MUST ACCEPT OR REJECT 1T IMMEDIATELY Spain Told to Decide on the Demand. UNCLE SAM IN EARNEST DETERMINED TO BRING PHILIP- PINE QUESTION TO A HEAD. Cabled Report From the Peace Com- mission Causes the Cabinec to Take Most Vigorous Action. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—The adminis- tration hasinstructed the American com- missioners at Paris to bring the Philip- pine question to a head next week, as a result of a cabled report from Judge Day received this morning, indicating that negotiations were not advancing as rapidly as the President desired. The President thought it sufficiently important to require immediate consid- which was called as soon as he had re- ceived the cablegram. At this meeting the situation at Paris was thoroughly discussed until a general agreement was reached that the American Commissioners be informed that Spain’s Commissioners must be brought to understand promptly that they must definitely meet our demand for the Philippines and accept or reject it. No for- mal ultimatum is to be given, but the| main question is to be settled speedily, | so that the only thing the United States | treats as open to discussion, namely | the matter of compens: n, may bel taken up for early d osition. The President received this morning the views of every member of the com- mission based upon the information | that they have received and considered, and arguments submitted by the Span- ish commissioners as to the policy the United States should pursue respecting the Philippines. From what could be gathered there is apparently some per- sonal difference of opinion at least| among the commissioners as to the ex- tent to which the United States| should go in taking territory in the far | East. It was reported that Senator Gray was opposed to acquiring any ter- ritory in the far East except for a coal- ing station, and that a serious differ- | ence had arisen between himself and | the other commissioners, but this I was | anfionnaanaanaianunafifi The action of the President in call- ing for the views of the American rep- resentatives is considered highly sig-| nificant, and the authorities were very | much averse to discussing them in| But it was stated that the commission had been informed that the | matter would be left to their judgment, and to expedite the negotiations as rap- idly as possible. It is the ‘desire of the Presfdent that the treaty shall be ratified by the time Congress meets next month. It is ap- preciated that such expedition will nec- essarily mean the making of important concessions to the Spanish commis- sioners, as they will undoubtedly resist as long as possible the transfer of sov- ereignty over the entire archipelago to the United States. THE MARIA TERESA. The Big Cruiser Is Lying Half a Mile Off the Shore of Cat Island. NASSAU, N. P, Nov. 12—The tug Potomac, from Santiago de Cuba, which has been visiting the stranded cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa, aground off Cat Island, has arrived here in order to ob- tain a permit to work on the ship. She will return to Cat Island. The cruiser is lying one mile off shore and is in two fathoms of water. The natives have destroyed the temporary deck and have carried away everything movable. = & Nebraska Returns Complete.

A woman hates to think that sh. is growing day by day less charming and attractive and youthful to her husband’e ~yes than in the days of courtship.
