THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1898 " MR. GAGE WILL SAVE MR. GUNST’S OFFICIAL LIFE So Declared to Governor Budd and Admitted He Acted For Dan Burns. Democrats Say That Prompt Reprisa Budd Should Make 1 by Appointing a Successor to the Late J. G. Edwards. : facts concerning the plan that s been mapped out by Colonel Dan s and Governor-elect Gage for the ointment of Police Commissioner Gunst will here be told Those } ApY A who read cannot fail to believe, and if discredit attaches to the gentlemen hose names have Dbeen mentioned ve, they have only themselves me. In brief, the situation is that Gov- to ernor-elect Gage has undertaken, at the request of Colonel Burn to continue Mr. Gunst, Burns’ gambling partner, in office. To do this he has found it neces- sary to disregard the provisions of the law and the dictates of common cou tesy by fixing the date of his inaugura- tionfor January 4, thus shortening Gov- ernor Buc term by six days. Mr. Gunst's term of office as Police Com- missioner expires January 5. Gov- 1d ha I Governc expires Jar ssary for declined to reappoint Budd's term of office y 11. Thus it becomes Governor-elect Gage, nece , to resort to measures that may lered somewhat tandpoint of law and good manner in which he has the task partly made The it is by Governor Budd at the The Governor at first discuss the subject, but 1 for an answer he ago I received a message Gage, through my private Mr. Gage wanted to know f I intended to appoint & successor to Commissioner Gu Continuing, Mr. Gage s ‘Colonel s has been very kind to'me, and that I am under obligations.to wants Gunst to continue in He an anc is matter for him I feel that ougt urated, and would prefer to let s take their 1 ual course, but if becomes necessary I can be inaugur- 1 in time to handle this appoint- ment. Unless I get the proper assur- | ces 1 feel that I ought to take such | a course as will prevent any mistakes.’ I sent Mr. Gage a rey assuring m that I would take the matter un- r ddvisement.” Have you ever been solicited by any | concerning this appointment?” was | itte “By no one except Mr. Gage and Mr. Gunst himself. Mr. Gunst eame to me some time ago and said that he de- sired to be ppointed. I gave him no definite reply, but he may have ga -4 from what I did say that I to his reappoint- was not favorable ment. “Mr. a « ge called on me on Tuesday ounced that he had fixed the and in | to carry cut his promise to Dan | questionable | following statéement made | now that T am in a p\.smun( [ t to do it.

When Mr. Gage went to the hotel to keep the appointment rhe went upstairs, but instead of going direct to Governc he went into a private room in another part of the building, where he was soon closeted with Colonel Burns. The con- ference was strictly executive and last- ed almost an hour. When it was final- | ing announcement that he had been in- structed by the executive committee | of the Republican State Central Com- mittee to fix upon January 4 as the | | date of his inauguration. Budd's apartments | | | | | In order to bring about the inaugu- | ration of Governor-elect Gage on Jan- uary 4 the preliminary business o { % £ the | B ird was spent In latiude 37 degrees 10 Legislature will have to be rushed through with such haste that many im- portant matters will be neglected. The Legislature will convene on January 2 and permanent organization will not be perfected until January 3. After per- manent organization has been effected a committee from each house of the Legislature will wait upon Governor | Budd and formally notify him that the Legislature is in session and ready to proceed with the transaction of busi- ness, The Governor will then transmit his message to the Legislature and af- | ter it has been read both houses will adjourn for the day. On the following ‘ day, January 4, the vote for Governor | and Lieutenant Governor will be can- } vassed, after which Governor Gage will lhe notified of his election. The can- | vdss of the vote requires considerable time and it does not now appear how it can ‘be accomplished in time to al- low for the inauguration ceremonies {on the same day. As the matter at stake is the saving of Mr. Gunst's of- ficial life it may be that decorum will be thrown to the winds. The spectacle | will no doubt be interesting and in- structive. | . Democrats in this city are indignant |at what they are pleased to call the | high-handed proceedings of Governor- elect Gage. Governor Budd's attitude regarding Board of Equalization to fill the va- cancy caused by the recent death of Member-elect J. he possesses the right to make this ap- pointment, feeling of delicacy, had declared his in- tention of allowing Governor-elect | Gage to name a Republican to fill the | vacancy. This fact is recalled by the | Democrats, who are now protesting | against what they term the indecent | action of Mr. Gage in anticipating the |lawful date of his inauguration in or- | der to be able to take out of the hands | of Governor Budd the appointment of a )f his inauguration for January 4 the request of the executive com- ee of the Republican State Central ommittee. I presumed that ended the nmatter, and so expressed myself. I was somewhat surprised to read in the pers this morning a number of inter- date at ws with members of the executive nmittee in which they state that there has been no meeting of the ex- ecutive committee since the election, and that the matter of the date of Mr. Gage's inauguration has not been dis. cussed by its members. “Th the first time in the history sre a Governor's term £ s. Governor Markham was inaugurated on Januery §, 1891 My inauguration occurred on January 11, 1895, and on January 11, 1399, I will have held office four years. The appointment of a Police Comm!' oner for San Fran- cisco is the only appointment of any | importance that will occupy the con- sideration or demand the attention of | the Governor of this State between January 8, 1899, and January 11, 1899.” Some days ago The Call obtained the information that Governor-elect Gage had sent a message to Governor Budd announcing his intention to reappnint Police Commissioner Gunst. Acting on tHis information John D. Spreckels held 4 conference with Mr., Gage. What oc- ed at that conference and the pur- in the following statement made by Mr. reckels yesterday: When .Mr. Gage and I met I k iched the subject of the appoint- of a Police Commissioner for San o for the purpose of learning Fr wt ing the reappointment of Mr. Gunst. I was desirous of preventing him making the same mistake made by Governer Markham when he appointed Gunst and which reculted in the holding of ma meetings in this ecity at which promi- nent citizens demounced the appowni- ment as a disgrace put upon the city. “Mr. Gage evaded the point and de- clared that he had not yet given the matter serlous consideration. I then told him that I wished him to appoint | e to the position. I did this for no other reason than a desire to force him to say, if such had been the case, that he could not do so because he had al- | ready promised the place to Mr. Gunst. Instead of doing.this he asked me why 1 did not seek the appointment at the hands of Governor Budd. I replied that being a Republican I would not seek an appointment at the hands of a Democratic Goveérnor. ““Mr. Gage then said that he felt him- self to be under heavy obligations to me, but that he would be forced to live | up to a rule he had adopted of declin- ing to make any promises in advance of his inauguration. I saw that noth- ing would induce him to disclose his intentions regarding the reappointment of Mr. Gunst, so I let the matter for which it was held is set forth | ction he intended to take regard- | | the benefit of the sufferers from Police Commissioner for San Fran- | cisco, to whem it rightfully belongs. | Those Democrats who were willing to | discuss the subject yesterday declared | that Governor Budd should now assert | his rights and appoint a Democrat to | fill the vacancy caused by the death of | the late J. G. Edwards. They say that ‘X\'In Gage, having seen fit to ignore | common courtesy as well as the law in | the matter of his inauguration, can |have no fault to find with Governor | Buaa if that gentleman sees fit to ap- | point a Democrat to a place cn the Board of Equalization. |TRIED THEIR GAME | ON THE WRONG MAN | TWO MEN OFFER STOLEN GOODS | TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER. | Believed to Be the Famous Showcase Thieves and Will Be Held | for Burglary. | Ofcer W. J. Smith last night arrested | Roy Allen and Albert Mont for attempt- | ing to dispose of stolen goods. It is con- | fidently believed by the authorities that they are the same men who have been | breaking open showcases south of Mar- | ket street for the past two months. | The young men were noticed along the | street attempting to dispose of bracelet to passers-by, and Officer Smith watched thelr movements closely. Finally | they met a man named Marks, who keeps | a_jewelry store at 239 Fourth street, and offered him the bracelet at a low figure. He examined it closely and recognized it as one which had been stoien from his store a few days ago. He at once gave | the men into the custody of Officer Smith, | who took them to the Central station where they were charged with burglary. The two men answer the description for breaking showcases and them of their contents, and several other ‘ghnrgcs will be placed against them to- ay. —————— JAPANESE OFFICERS HERE.

The complete complement of officers for | the Japanese cruiser Chitose arrived here yesterday afternoon on the steamer Cen- tennjal from Seattle and are staying at the Palace.

The barkentine Tropic Bird arrived from Tahiti Tuesday night with the French mails after a long passage of forty days. She was scheduled to safl again on the first of the year for Papeete, but as sne will have to go on the drydock and be overhauled she will be late in getting away.

A couple of San Francisco vessels are having a hard run of luck. The ship Republic is following hers up in Aus- tralian waters, while the river steamer F. M. Smith is having hers right here in the bay. The Republic went from here to Puget Sound and loaded lumber for Aus- tralia. After leaving port she was caught in a heavy storm and had to put in here in distress. She was leaking badly and had to be thoroughly overhauled be- fore she could proceed. She reached Aus- tralia, and after discharging her lumber cargo'was sold and put under the Chilean flag. She then went to Newcastle, N. 8. W., and loaded coal for Honolulu, but soon after putting to sea she Sprang a leak and had to put back to Sydney. For months the underwriters and owners have been squabbling over the insurance, and yesterday the Merchants' Ex hange | received word that the cargo of coal had to be discharged and the vessel dry- docked for repairs. The F. M. Smith was formerly the H. C. Grady. She came here from Portland and went into the Sacramento River trade, carrying fruit and vegetables for the Oakland market. The venture did not pay, and the vessel was soon plastered She was sold by the United States Marshal and pur- chased by F. M. Smith, who fitted her out ‘When the bot- tom fell out of the boom she was put on the Alviso run. During one of her runs she got caught across the creek, and the tide leaving her hllgh and dry, she nearly broke her back. In spite o one or two other mishaps she was doing well, how: and was a favorite with the travel- public, but her bad luck had not for- saken her. Last week while moving from Washington to Jackson street wharf she backed into the latter structure and not only broke her fantail, but cracked the shaft. She was moved to the south side of the Mail Dock and there beached for repairs. Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the galley, and at one time it looked as though the steamer was doomed. The Fire Department was called out and after some trouble the fire was put out, The British ship Eaton Hall arrived from Swansea yesterday after a long pas- sage of 180 days. During the latter part of Augyst the Ship ran into a terriic Storm. The waves broke aboard in such |a volume that the decks were damaged and all _the boats were washed away. Captain Lourison decided to run for Rlo de Janeiro, and arrived there on Septem- ber 3. It took a fortnight to make the necessary repairs and then the Eaton Hall made another start for San Francisco. The Japanese cruiser Chitose made an- other start for the Santa Barbara chan- nel yesterday morning. It is blowing a gale of wind behind her, she 50 | should make a record run down the coast. ,?{nnll goes well and the gale has blown a_gold | self out, she will probably have her trial {lrfi,) to-morrow, but if anything has to be done to ship or machinery it will be Sat- urday before she has her race against time. —— BASEBALL AS YOU LIKE IT. A Strong Leaéus Formed to Furnish the Live Article During the Coming Season. A season of good baseball is promised the followers of the national game next year. The success achleved by the league at catered to the public in tne tourna- | ;l"l‘l"‘“[c:'hk)h closed last week has incited | the stockholders who represent the entire capital stock of the Recreation Park As- sociation to meet and form a strong o:- ganization for the purpose of furnishing Snappy playing. A meeting of these stockholders was | held in the offices of Eugene F. Burt last pight and the following board of directors ; was unanimously elected: Henry Harris, 127 Bonnet, Eugene F. Burt, Nate Ja: cobs and James H. Anderson. Upon ad- journment of the stockholders’ meeting ihe hoard of directors convened and eléct- ed the following officers of the corpora- tion, to sefve the ensuing year: President, vice president, Nate Ja- the Anglo-Californian ; secretary, James H. Anderson. Henry Harris, the old-time baseball magnate, who is better known as ‘Hank,’ has been appointed general manzger, and this fact alone eaks well for the sac- ciss of the lea; . Eugene F. urt, T. F. "Hank'' Harris will control the destinies of the home team. They are already in search of good material and have hopes | of placing a strong aggregation of play- ers in the race for the pennant. A meeting of the managers of the vari- ous clubs which will compose the Califur- nia League next season will be held in this city next week, at which time the officers of the league will be elected and a schedule will be adopted. —_————————— Twenty-Four Japs Landed. The National Commissioner of Immi- gration notified Commissioner Hart North by wire yesterday that the appeal recent- ly taken from his decision in the case of twenty-four Japanese had been decided in_their favor. The Japs shipped from Honolulu on the Alice Blanchard under a two years' labor contract to gather guano on the €lipperton Islands. At the expira- tion of that perfod they were to be re- turned to Honolulu. They went to the islands and worked for a few months un- til the supply of food gave out, and they were taken to this port and dumped on December 16 of this yvear. Commissioner’ North refused to allow them to land, his refusal being based on the fact that their fare had been paid bg the corporation em- loying them, and that they were, there- ore, assisted immigrants under the meaning of the law. Advances made on furniture and pianos, with or without removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission. e e The Fearless Again Libeled. Joseph Duarte filed a libel yesterday in the United States District Court against the steam whaler Fearless to recover $646, alleged to be due as wages and lay. b sl s T iy True story of the Philippine Is- lands, by Sol N. Sheridan, special cor- respondent, in next Sunday’s Call, Bonnet and | PAID ALL ARK LANE'S injunction has not enjoined. Despite its fronclad prohibi- tions and its ingenious phrasing the ready wit of the shifty crew that manipulates the Board of Education has found a way to evade its provisions, and the debts, political and financial, of the past year have been paid off with interest and with neither let nor hindrance. No new teachers have been appointed for the reason that it was not necessary. No promotions have been made from the “extra substitute class” for the simple reason that no such list exists in the de- partment. Against both these things Lane’s injunction warned the board, but it said nothing against transfers nor against the creation of vice principalships at fat salaries, and of this little oversight the board took advantage to the extent of recognizing every request made upon it from whatever source or upon what- | ever consideration. S8ix vice principal- | ships were created and filled and two that were provided some weeks ago were assigned to favorites of the gang. Night school classes were consolidated and the teachers transferred to the “Day unas- signed list.” In fact, the unassigned list played the biggest part in yesterday's disgracerul meeting. It was used to put beyond the reach of the incoming board favorites of the Directors who might lose their jobs through the abolition of night schools. The shaky ones were all consoli- dated out of their positions and stuffed on the unassigned list, where no such word s fired is known. From that list they transferred only to the day schoois, and when that glad day comes it will mean an increase of from $2 50 to $5 in the monthly stipend and no more night school work. Presldent Barrington was not present when the meeting opened. He had been there earlier in the afternoon, but his daughter was lined up for one of the vice principalships, and the strain was more rest who were ‘‘on’” he turned up missing when his vote was wanted. Miss Bar- rington, however, got her job. Director but he got in shortly after Director Wal ler, as chairman of the Elementary Com- mittee, had got his report through. It was Waller’s report that started the ball. It is a self-explanatory document and needs no foot notes. It recommends as follows: That Mrs. J. D. Cooper be transferred from the Franklin Grammar School to the day un- assigned list. That Miss E. F. Baker of the day substi- tute list be elected a probationary teacher and assigned to Miss Cooper's class in the Frank- lin_School. That Miss McGreevy of the South End School be_transfererd to the day unassigned list. That whereas ‘the three Teceiving Classes of the Marshall Primary School are in a con- gested condition and contain a surprius of puplls far in excess of the rules; therefore, be it resolved that a new class be formed at said Marshall Primary and that Miss Michener of the Spring Valley Grammar School be trans- ferred to that class in the Marshall Gram- mar. That Miss Alice Dunn be transferred from the Hancock Grammar School to & class in the South End School. That Miss McGough, having been transferred to the Lincoln School by mistake, be trans- ferred back to the Hancock Grammar School. That Mrs. Ostram be transferred from a class in the Horace Mann School to one in the Crocker. That Miss I. Roberts be transferred from the John Swett School to the Horace Mann. That the following schools, possessing the proper requirements according to_the rules, be raiged to the ranks designated: Everett, from second to first-class grammar; Denman, from second to first-class grammar; Fairmount, from primary to intermediate grammar; Richmond, from primary to intermediate’ gramma Haight, from primary to intermediate gram- mar; Humboldt, from primary to intermediate grammar; Hawthorne, from second to first- class primary; Irving Scott, from intermediate to second-class grammar, That Miss L. Cox be transferred from the Fairmount Intermediate Grammar School to the Qday unassigned list. That Miss R. Harvey be transferred from the Crocker to a class in the Fairmount School and elected vice principal of said Falrmount Intermediate Grammar School. That Miss J. B. Hinds be transferred from the Richmond Intermediate Grammar to a claas in the Gooper Primary. That Miss H. Lannigan be transferred from Cooper Primary to a class in the Rich- mond Intermediate Grammar School and elected vice principal of seid school. That Miss F. Barrington be elected a vice principal of the Everett First Class Grammar School, in which she is now a teacher. That Miss §. C. Farwell be transferred from the Denman Grammar to the John Swett Gram- mar. That Miss Alice Breese be transferred from the John Swett Grammar to the Dudley Stone Primary School. That Miss M. R. Carew be transterred from the Dudley Stone Primary School to the Den- man Grammar School, and elected vice prin- cipal of sald Denman Grammar School. That Miss L. Orr, a teacher of the Haight Grammar School, be elected a vice principal of said school. That Miss G. Carrol of the Humboldt Inter- mediate Grammar School be elected vice prin- cipal of said school. ‘That Miss M. F. Lorrigan, a teacher of the Whittier First Class Grammar School, be elected vice principal of said school. That Miss L. F. Simon, a teacher of the Hawthorne Intermediate Grammar School, be elected vice principal of sald school, That Whereas, the course of study requires the teaching of elocution, rhetoric and debate in the high schools of the department, we re- commend that E. Knowlton, vice and acting principal of the Lincoln Grammar School, be elected a high school teacher and transferred to said department of elocution in the high schools of the department under the direction of the committee on secondary education. That Madison Babeock, a regular teacher in ‘the department, be and is hereby elected prin- cipal of the Lincoln Grammar School, vice E. Knowlton transferred. “I move the adoption of my report,” said Mr. Waller. “I object,” velled Armer. “It is noth- ing but a scheme to evade that injunction and stuff this department with teachers, tand 1 won't see Waller paying political debts that way.” ‘Waller insisted, and the injunction was ulled on him, but, with the aid of Gal- agher, he proved conclusively that Judge Belcher's restraining order dealt = with the ‘“‘extra substitute list,”” and that there was no such list known to the depart- ment. The report the necessary votes, including Hammond’s, though he was for a time afraid. Head got in at | this polnt, and upon discovering what was | before the house said, “Mr. President, want to talk on this report. There are two or three little jokers in it that this | board ought to know about. Take sec | tion 16, for instance, It makes Miss C: rew vice principal of éhe Dudley Stone—’ Gallagher attempted the rescue of Di- rector Carew, who was in the_ch at this point, by trying to stop Head from dealing any further with the Director's daughter, but Head would not be ntoPped | nor would Carew have it, but_ insisted that he go on with what he had to say. But Head let Miss Carew alone. Head also dealt with section 28 and claimed that it gave Professor Babcock the principalship of the Lincoln Grammar School in payment of a political debt owed him by Dr. Ragan, and he said that there was no more use of a teacher of elocution In the high schaol to which Knowlton_had been nptwlmed to make room for Babcock than there was for two Boards of Directors. He finally changed his vote and gave notice that he would move for a reconsideration at the next meeting. He was promntly headed off by Dr. Ragan, who moved as an amendment that the question be reconsidered then and there.

It was cualcu- lated to care for all of the teachers who were teaching special classes and make their jobs sond Ey making them regular teachers of the department. The resolu- tion was as follows: Resolved, That the teachers of special classes, now in the department.and drawing salaries as such, holding regular certificates, be, and the same are hereby elected regular teachers in the department for grades cor- responding to the grades of their certificates, their assignment to remain @s at present. That in accordance with the resolution the following special teachers be and they are hereby elected regular teachers in the de- partment: Mrs. Spencer, _stenographer In Mission High School; Miss Estelle Carpenter, music; Miss D.

Maguire. book- keeping; Miss L. Graham, bookkeeping; Miss Rae Cohen, bookkeeping. Then came the report of the Evening School Committee. It was couched in most ingenuous terms and was as redo- lent of virtue as a grammar school grad- uate. But it did the buMines: It put fifteen Evening School teachers in safe berths on the day unassigned list and it robbed the incoming board of its thun- der by consolidating a dozen of the Even- ing School classes, It also offered an op- %ortunny to get back at Louis de F. artlett for the active fight he has made in behalf of the teachers who insist upon boin%{ paid their salaries. Mr. Bartlett was kicked out of his job as an Evening School teacher and put on the rather shaky evening substitute list. he report of the Committee on Even- ing Schools recited that there has dur- ing the last year been a falling off in the nightly attendance of . the evening schools and ingenuously says that a ‘“‘ju- dicious, careful consideration of classes should be made at this time.” It there- fore recommends: That a class in Fairmount Evening School be consolidated and Miss Mary Mangan be transferred to the day school unassigned list. That the class taught by Miss Carle in the Franklin Evening School be consolidated and Miss Carle be transferred to Miss Cohen's class in_the Horace Mann Evening School. That the class taught by Dr. F. G. Baird in the Franklin Evening School be consolidated and Dr. Baird be transferred to the Horace Mann Evening School. That the class taught by Miss Taylor in the Franklin Evening School be consolidated and Miss Taylor be transferred to the day un- assigned Ifst. That Miss C.
