THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1901 DOORS OF TOPEKA JOINTS CLOSED Owners Heed Warning of Police aud Citizans’ Committee. ——— Mrs. N:‘fim’- Manager Parts Com- pany With Her and She Says She Is Now in the Hands of the Lord. PSRN TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 11.—As a result of the meeting of oitizens of Topeka vester- day afternoon all the joints of the city The citizens made ths peremptory order that the saloons be closed by noon to-day, and as far as Is known the order was regarded. Early this morning Chief of Police Stahl, with some of his officers, made the rounds of the joints and notified the keepers as far as they could be found that they would na expected to close. They were in each case presented with a printed copy of the citi- Zens” ultimatum and commanded in the 1a- terest of law and order to close at once. Chief Stahl told the jointists. th: ere was an army of a thousand men, ting to march on a)minute's notice, to close the joints of the city, and that they were of a class that would not be freightened out of performing their duty, as they in- terpreted it. Notices were slipped under the doors of the closed places. In only one place did the officers find any liquor sold, and this place agreed to close at once. To-night Topeka is practically a dr; town so far as the joints are concern: Some of the drugstores are sald to be do- ing a thriving business, but the condition is much different from a week or even a day ago, when there were about eighty Jjoints running openly, all of which were | equipped with the finést of fixtures. Ths citizens’ committe has made all the naces- sary arrangements for the enforcement of its orders regarding the joints, and will insist that the order be carried out to the ietter. and that every drinking place be closed and the stock and fixtures removed from the city by next Friday noon. The condition of public sentiment in Topeka to-night is somcthing remarkable. as never been anything here ap- proaching it. The vigilance committee is ready to move on very short notice. HOLTON, Kan., Feb. 11.—The crusade against the jointists which was com- menced here Sunday was vigorousiy continued to-day. At a mass-meeting held in the Methodist church a commit- tee was appointed to investigate the regort that the piace owned by Mrs. Hicks,which was raided Saturday, was open again. The committee discovered that the report was true, and as a result the temperance workers again raided the place and com- pelled Mrs. Hicks and her son to sign a contract, drawn in a legal form, to the effect that they would never again sell iiquor during their vatural lives, and the son agreed to leave Holton and remain away for a period of ten years. Later in the day another mass-meeting was hald to conslder a proposition to destroy all the liquor that had been scized by the Sherift and stored at the courthouse. A motipn that this be done was defeated, but afier | the meeting adjourned most of those in attendance went to the courthouse ana demanded the liquor. The deputy in charge made a tame effort to protect the property, but to no avail. The raiders ,turmed the liquor into the gutter, and, | taking the bar fixtures outside, burned them In the street, making the work of destruction complete. To-night the Sheriff, accompanied by a posse, raided a joint owned by Mrs. Halst teking possession of all liquors foum there and closing the place up. MUSCATINE, Towa, Feb. 11.—Mrs. Na- tion arrived here at moon to-day and was met at the train by 4000 people. A squad | of police was on hand, as she had re- | quested, to escort her to her hotel. The crowd, however, was peaceable and evi- dently turned out through curiosity, for less“than 50 people attended her meeting to-night. After the mecting closed and the re- celpts of the evening were counted the financial manager of Mrs. Nation dis- solved partnership with her, and he, with four of the six women who accompanied eri returned to Kansas to-night. He said: - “My management of Mrs. Nation ends here. 1 return to Topeka to-night and four of the six women go with me. The women will return to their homes, and | Mrs, Natlon, I understand, wil proceed | to_Chicago.” Mrs. Nation sa of the Lord, ani in the hands for Chicago 1 will do no smash- I am will leave the hell holes in my own State are wiped out of existence. Then I will organize a band of women who will smash all the saloons in the world. The United States first, Europe next.” FINDLAY, Ohio, Feb. 11.—The methods of Mrs. Carfle Nation were adopted here last night by three women and one man with success. A large number of penny- in-the-slot machines had been distributed in the city by a confectionery firm, The machines were hung on telephone poles iu front of every schoolhouse in the city, and aroused the bitterest condemnation of the parents of school children. At a late hour { last night three women, accompanied by a man, armed with natchets utterly de- moiished the machines in front of every schoolhouse in the city. Public sentiment appears to be with them, and some of the more ardent Woman's Christian Temper- ance Union women of the city are now crying to have the saloons, which are run notoriously open here, treated in the same manner.

The Oceanic Mail Company’s steamship Australia got away for Papeete, the capi- tal of Tahitl, yesterday. She was a lit- tle behind time owing to some freight coming down at the last minute, but as she s In first class trim Captain Lawless thinks he can make up the delay in port and make the islands on schedule time. The Australia did not také away many passengers, but there were a number of tourists among them, and when this new paradise of the Pacific comes to be known the rush there will be greater than to Hawalii. The Ventura Delayed. The Oceanic Steamship Company's mail { boat Ventura will not get away for Ha- wail, Samoa, New Zealand and Australia until_Thursday, February 14, at 9 p. m. The English mails are delayed and wili not get here until about 7 p. m. on the 14th, and as soon as they are aboard the mail boat will sail. The accident on board the steamship Ventura on January 23, in which five men | were killed and five injured by the burst- ing of a steam pipe, was lnvesflguted yes- olles and Bulger, local United States inspectors of steam vessels. The principal witnesses were 8. N. Haines, chief engineer; T. W, Lawrence, first assistant; J. V. Ainsworth, second tant, and M. McGinn, repre. senting the builders. The chief engineer and his assistants told about the break- ing of th eam pipe, which they ascribed to imperfect construction on the part of the builders. There was 165 pounds of steam pressure at the time of the frac- ture. There was absolutely no unskiliful- ness in the handling of the engine, they sald. Mr. McGinn said that he did not believe in the theory of faulty construc- tion, but when he was pinned down to detalls admitted that he did not know anything about the cause of the accident, The inspectors will render a decision next week. 2 P o The Overdue Flest. The Bertha is now out 111 days from Weihaiwei for Portland; the Otto Gilder- melster eighty-nine days from Yokohama for Portland; the Cape Wrath 102 days trom Callao for Astoria or Portland, and the Andrada ninety-two days from Santa Rosalia for Portland. On all these ves- sels the underwriters are paying 90 per cent to reinsure their chances, but the gamblers will not touch one of the fleet. {On the Ardnamurchan, seventy-one days out from Frazer River for Liverpool 70 per cent Is being paid, and on the Ilala, ninety-two days out from Montevideo for British Columbia, 45 per cent. The schooner Vine, which was almost given :}) as lost, has arrived at Mollendo, Peru, ter a very long run of 125 days from Fort Bragg. Captain Jansen of the schooner Willlam Renton was out in the gale that is sup- posed to have made trouble for the over- due fleet. He says that off Flattery there was never two hours at a time the wind could be depended upon. Off the Colum- bia River it was still worse, and while on one tack with a strong southeaster blowing, in five minutes it would have changed to northwest, and the schooner would be thrown on her beam ends. Then it would blow a gale from the southwest and so work its way around all the points of the compass. P “hiidini A Water Front Notes. A fleet of coasters made port yesterday and six more of them were outside at sundown. All of the lumber vessels are now making good runs down the coast. The ship Edmund left S8an Diego to-day in tow of the tug Luckenback. She should reach here about Friday evening or Saturday morning. The new ferry steamship for the Sausa- lito run is expected to be ready to go into commission about June 1. She is almost a duplicate of the Santa Fe steamship San Pablo. i NEWS OF THE OCEAN.

PRI Santa F= Also Bids for Immigrants From Eastern States Who Will Come to Settle in Cali- fornia. ‘With the arrival of the steamship Para yesterday from South American ports an entirely new branch of freight business has been established for the Southern Pa- cific Railroad. The steamer has on board 500 tons of freight, which would have gone fh the usual course of routine to the East- ern States and Europe via the Panama Railrcad. A short time since the Panama foad formed a combine with several Cen- tral American lines. This combine was lered a menace to the Southern Pa- cific, and as the latter company controls the Pacific Mail Steamship Company or- ders were issued that all freight carried by the mail company’s vessels should be brought to this port and shipped to the East and Europe, using San Francisco as the gateway. Freight “Trafic Manager Willlam Bproule said yesterday that all arrange- ments had been made to handle the freight from South American ports. Freight that was consigned to New York would go via Ogden, and that all Buro- pean shipments would go via the Sunset rouse: It is the intention of the Santa Fe Rail. road to strengthen its position and te handle a larger proportion of the trans- continental traffic via Galveston and the part sea route to New York. News ar- rived in the city yesterday that an engi- neeriug corps in the employ ¢of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe RailwAy had com- menced running lines westward from San Angelo, the present western terminus of the mpasas branch of that pailroad. The objective point of the survey is Pecos City, about 135 miles west of San Angelo. It is the purpose of the company to_ex- tend the Lampasas pranch to Pecos City, where connection will be made with the Pecos and North and Northeastern Rail- road, which was purchased by the Santa Fe system some time ago. From Pecos City “the Pecos Valley Railroad gives a straight shoot to Raswell, N. Mex., run- ning northeasterly from Roswell and con- necting with the Southern Kansas di- vislon of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe at Amarillo, Tex. It is also_the pur- pose of the Santa Fe to build a line from Roswell to some direct point on the Santa Fe. This will result in a reduction in the distance of 39 miles between Galveston and the Pacific Coast. The Santa Fe on and after to-day until April 30 will keep hot on the trail of the Southern Pacific in competing for the Immigration travel to California. “Only $30 for a ticket from Chicago to San Fra cisco™ is one of the frontispieces of the many books that are being distributed in all the Eastern States. A prominent offi- clal of the road stated yesterday that they expected to handle an enormous amcunt of the so-called immigration traf- fice this year. » IS IT AN EPIDEMIC?
