16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1901. SCANDAL HINTED AT IN AFFIDAVIT Fire Department Cfficers Make Interesting Statements. AT Motion for the Inspection of | Maxwell's Books Is Filed in Court. L Afdavits filed in the Superior Court vesterday hold out a promise that many important political secrets of the Fire De- | partment of San Francisco may soon be | | revealed to an eager public. Some time ago George F. Maxwell brought a suit | 1o restrain the kire Commissioners from dissolving the San Francisco Fire Depart- ment Mutual Aid Association and creat- ing a new protective society. The impres- sion exists that Mayor Phelan is behind ‘he mew organization, manipulating the by-laws and providing conditiors of mem- | bership that will exclude from the soclety George F. Maxwell and others who are not active members of the Fire Depart- | ment. When the true history of the last | municipal campaign is recorded it will' be written truthfully that Phelan entered intc a league with politicians of the Fire Department wherein it was agreed that Maxwell should be retained in office as secretary of the Commissioners under the new charter. The covenant with the poli- ticlans was broken by Phelan for reasons best known to himself, hence Maxwell was turned out. Makes Big Promises. 7 he proposed new protective association which is supposed to be inspired by Phe- lan promises the substantial benefit of $10 | a week to the disabled firemen, and also | holds out assurance that the “boys” may in the future express their wishes as to the management of the association by se- cret_ballot. - The cld association as man- aged by Sam Rainey and George Maxwell | places ihe voting power in the foremen of the respective engine companies. The Fire Commissioners are the defend- | ants in the suit instituted by Maxwell to perpetuate the old association, and these Aefendants, through Lloyd & Wood and J. C. McKinstry, now ask the court for the right to inspect the books and ac- counts of the old Mutual Aid Association | of the Fire Department. The motion is backed by afidavits of an interesting | character. J. Dougherty, assistant chief | engineer, is one of the affidavit makers. His memory goes back to 18%9. He calls to mind_ that $1400 or 3150 was paid to George F. Maxwell in that year for pri- mary election purposes. The measure of benefit conveyed to the sick and suffering by this disbursement is not set forth in the afidavit. The payment was entered on the books as money expended “for col- lective interests of the associatio Money Paid Out. Dolan, battalion engineer, says in avit that he was treasurer of the association in 1900. It is his recollection that the book showing disbursement of assoclation monev contains an entry of the pavment in 1885 of $900 to the ‘‘com- mittee on legislation for use in the Legis- Jature.” Dolan does not aver that this payment alleviated distress among the sick and disabled of the department. No doubt it was a great boon to suffering members of the SBan Francisco delegation in the Legislature. Dolan's refreshed memory recalls anMher item signifying the payment of 3365 for the “engrossment of resolutions in favor of Sam Rainey.” The amdavit M. J hie affd does not dwell on the beau and extent of the tribute to Mr. Rainey's private character and public service, but logical study of the sum persuades one to the conclusion that the testimonial must have combined elegance with marvelous ampl!- tude to have cost $386 for engrossment nlone Battalion Chief Dolan also remembers the payment to Dougherty ot §1400 “‘for collective interests of the association, Moreover, he remembers the payment in 1600 of $1208 to banquet the upper men in office. Perhape the sick, sore and needy felt much better after the big men in the upper office were banqueted, but as to that feeling the afflant Dolan is silent. The motion to inspect receipts and ac- counts of the old association will be heard on demurrer in Department 12, Superior Court, Tuesday, May 28, at 10 a. m.

Scovern Dies, NOYES WILL DEAL OUT NO MORE LAW TO MINERS OF CAPE NOME Pending Contempt Proceedings Against Him He Is to Be Suspended- -=-McKenzie’'s S — entence Commuted. 3 L NITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE NOYES for the district of Nome, whose attitude in the recent mining litigation of that district has resulted in his being cited for contempt of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, is to be suspend- ed or transferred to another jurisdiction pending the outcome of the contempt pro- ceedings. Noyes’ case has just been decided upon by the Judges of the Circuit Court of Appeals and by the President, and Judge James Wickersham of the Eagle City district has been appointed to fill his place at Nome. Following close on this announcement also comes the news that the xentence of the former recelver, Alexander McKen- zle, who has been several months i the Alameda County Jail for contempt simi- lar to that charged against Noves, hus been commuted in order that he may be released from vrison, his health being 80 poor it was feared he would dic if confined longer. The charge of contempt against Judge Noyes includes also Dudley Dubose and Thomas J. Geary, the attorneys who nd- vised McKenzie in the course that led him to jall. This course sted in disobey- ing the writ of the Circuit Court of Ap- peals, which commanded McKenzie to re turn to the owners certain ounces of gold dust worth about $200,000, and_forbade the District Court to take any further pro- ceedings in the matter. McKenzle dld not return the gold dust and for a good part of the time sl he has been in jail in consequence. Noyes disregurded the writ directed to his court and continued to di- rect matters with orders of his own, and he further refused to make any order ¢n- foreing upon McKenzle the writ of wuper sedeas from the Court of Appeals, as he claimed the Court of Appeals had 10 ji isdiction in the matter and that in & case the proceedings appointing a receiver were not appealable from his own court, The whole case turned upon the appoint- ment of McKenzie by Noyes to act us re- ceiver of valuable mines then under u lit- igation that gave every appearance of having been started with an evil purpose, and an appeal to the Circuit Court of Ap- peals from the order of appointment. Noyes’ Hasty Order. In all the litigation that stirred to its depths_the temper of the miners of the north Noyes was looked upon as a party to a scheme to secure possession of the richest claims with the aid of the judi- cial machinery. Noyes had not been twelve hours in Nome before he appoint- ed McKenzie a receiver of some claims that rapidly put thousands of dollars in gold dust into his keeping, and all through the trouble the attitude of Noy .nd the court orders he made were on a var with his first order appointing McKenzie before the vessel that brought him had well set- tled at her anchorage. McKenzie was tried first and his con- viction of contempt was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where it was affirmed. Tn the meantime, however, proceedings against the others implicated in the doings at Nome were stopped, pending the decision of the Supremo BAIN DRENGHES THE SOUTHLAND Los Angeles Reports Al- most a Half-Inch of Precipitation.

Eve string that powerful influence could puil Was Tbgulled, and they reached out all over the Union, for the deal to gather in the claims of Nome had big men behind it. It was all in vain, however, until sickness seized hold of him and he began to fail. Three weeks ago another effort was made to bring his case before the Presi- dent, with McKenzie's failing health as excuse for his release, but when the Pres- ident asked if he had complied with all the requirements of his sentence by re- turning all he was ordered to return, it was found that the shortage of $10,000 in dust and the $900 in cash were still In his trunk. When he heard, this the President refused to consider any petition whatever. Thursday the shortage was made good, and yesterday Samuel Knight appeared before Judge Morrow and announced that all had been pald. Knight is one of the attorneys who fought McKenzie in Nome. There was also sd‘bmmed a communica- tion from McKenzle, which was as fol- lows: McKenzie’s Plea. \ Having been adjudged in contempt by your honorable body in disobeying a certain writ of supersedeas {ssued out of the above court, and as one who has hitherto always rendered Court, for it was tacitly agreed that should the Supreme Court reverse the convictlon ke other cases would not be taken up. In view of the decision of the higher court, however, the contempt cases have been taken up again and it may be that n before they have all been gone through with there will be others to occupy the cell which McKenzio oscapes only becauso to keep him longer would be to make his ventence of a year's imprisonment o sen- tence of death, It was only cn the 14th inst. that the af- fidevits In the contempt proceedings agninst Noyes were flled in the District Court here, and the eftect I8 ngpnrent al most at once, It was discussed at length whether to suspend Noyes or to transfer nim to some place where he was not so well known and so thoroughly disliked. 1t seems, however, that transfer is not to e bis unless he shall get Wickersham's plece at Bagle City, but in any event he will digpense no more law at Nomsa, at least for a while, The proceedings against him will be the seme as those against Mo- Kenzie. The same (e!t'mon{ that brought conviction home to McKenzie will support the case against Noyes, and Noyes can- not i\d\- nce the plea that he was badly advifed, for he was_ supposed to know that writs from the United States Court of Appeals are not issued for fun.

Physiclans had been sent over to the Ala- meda Jall to examine McKenzie, and their report was that he had heart disease brought on by worry over his incarcera- | tion. It was required that he be brought over to this city to testify in the cases against Noyes and Geary, but the physi- cians declared that he could not be sub- jected to the ordeal. The President was assured that {f McKenzie were compelled to remain longer in prison he could not survive to the end of his term. The President consulted with the Judges of the Court of Appeals, with the result that it was decided to release the pris- oner. It is not a pardon, it i{s expl: but a_commutation of the sentence. the odium of a vear in jail is still there, and it lacks only the time necessary to complete the twelve months. The sen- tence was commuted to the length of | time McKenzie had already served, and | that amounts to a release at once. He will probably gain his liberty to-day or to- morrow. Judge James Wickersham, who has been transferred to Judge Noyes' court, was up to a year ago a Probate Judge in the State | of Washington. He was appointed to the Eagle City District Court, which has ju- | risdiction over the southern portion of Alaska, about a year ago.

Wright Re- Served for Others in High Places. Herrin, Chief Counsel, Ex- pected to Resign or Give Up Outside Work. : SR T Inside Story of the Initial Clash Be- tween Manager Xruttschnitt and the Decapitated Division Superintendent. C. M. Hays, president of the Southern Pacific Company, his issued this order: “No employe of the Southern Pacific shall be a director or an officer of an oil company or of any other outside corpora- tlon, or engage in any outside business, but must give his entire time to the ser- vice of the Southern Pacific Company." Entorcement of the foregoing order will compel many well-known employes of the railroad corporation to leave the service of the company or surrender lucrative employment in other fields. It is accepted as a certainty that the displacement of J. B. Wright from his position as division superintendent will soon be followed by other changes of equal or greater note. The inside story of Colonel Wright's de- thronement constitutes one of the most Interesting chapters in the history of a great corporation in politics. He served the company ably and with rare discre- ton. He knew the public men of Cali- fornia and understood how to deal with the rank programmers and the smooth statesmen. Moreover he was a ‘capable superintendent and managed the affairs of his division fairly well. Politics, as di- rected by the head of the company, claimed 50 much of his time and atten- tion that Jullus Kruttschnitt remonstrat- ed and directed Colonel Wright to keep out of political combinations and attend strictly ~ to railroading. This remon- strance was made some time before Pres- ident C. P. Huntington. passed away, and Wright belleving that the leader of the company's affairs expected him to protect the ‘company’s interests in Sacramento and elsewhere in thezone of his influence, demurred to Kruttschnitt's instructions, In fact, he declined to obey the order of the manager, and appealed to W, F. Her- rin for support in his disobedience, Her- rin advised Wright to pay no heed to Kruttschnitt's order, holding that Presi- dent C. P. Huntington, a higher author- ity expected polities to be cared for by th‘nv;llvlul‘r;‘n superintendent, hen the conflictin, to the president, Mr. Huntington sus- tained Herrin, advising” Wright to pro- tect the company's Interests in the future a8 he had protected them in the past. Mr. Kruttschnitt had nothing more to say at that time, but later on, after Mr, Hunungton's death and the installation of C, M, Hays at the head of the com- pany's affairs, he resolved to renew his efforts to eliminate political work from Colonel Wright's department.

President Hays' order means that he must surrender these lu- crative outside engagements and give his | entire time to the rallroad company or sond In his resignation as the chief coun- sel of the corporation. A careful study of | the new order shows that it applies with sweeping force to Herrin's range of out- side business.

Muir was the trusted political manager of the rnmfinny in Southern California, and he banked on the support of H. E. Huntington. He did politics to the-satis- faction of the old ragime, but his skill in that line¥ls no longer required. It is com- mon talk that Muir {s “next.” Fillmore May Be Affected. The reference to oll ousiness in Presi- dent Hays' new order was caused by diffi- culty at rallroad headquarters in obtain- ing prompt responses to messages sent to Los Angeles, Bakersfeld, S8anta Barbara, Fresno and“other points where the ofl in- dustry has engaged special attention. It was ascertained or suspected that em- ployes of the company were neglecting the business of the road in their zeal to promote private enterprises. | J. A. Fillmore is interested in quarries and gravel beds, and the order therefore may include him. It is said to be the intention of the president in readjusting the forces of the company to assign Mr. Fillmore to a new fiela of duty outside of the operating department. W. H. Mills’ long term of service with the Southern Pacific is nearing a conclu- elon. He was divested of his chief author- ity when the business of issuing press transportation was transferred to Mr. McCormick. He attaches considerable importance to his outside enterprises, and would not care to surrender his right (o conduct a newspaper for the privilege of holding a position of divested responsibil- ity in the railroad company. Mr. Mills is high splrlt?d and not in- clined to_submit to dictation. R. P. Schwerin of the Pacific Malil Steamship Company is slated to go. Per- sonally he is not heid wholly accountable for the rumerous wrecks and appalling disasters during his administration of af- fairs, but the losses sustained suggest a. change of management. : PLANNING A PLEASANT DAY IN THE COUNTRY Picnic of the Young Men’s Catholic TUnion to Be Held at Fern- brook Park. An enjoyable time is promised those who attend the annual pienic and reunion of the Young Men's Catholic Union at Fernbrook Park on Thursday, May 30. Ever since 1883 the members have been accus- tomed to go with thsir families to some pretty place where they could devote 1hemselves entirely to fun and frolic and the greeting of their many friends. y The last year has seen a remarkabie ‘owth in the membership of the Young gen.’s Catholic Union. As a result there will be many more people than usual at the picnic this year, and elaborate prep- arations are being made for their enter- tainment. The comx::'tteetot n:n-nngeE ments has been preparing for the even for several weeks. Already 3000 tickets have been distributed. As heretofore a large number of valua- ble prizes will add to the interest of the occasion. These prizes are divided among many different events, so that every per- son who attends wiil have a chance to get at least one. Thcre will be games for the girls and the boys, the young and the old. There will be dancing and all sorts of festivities. Those seeking enjoyable recreation and a pleasant ride will do well to attend. All are assured-a glorious day’'s outing and a splendid time.
