12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1901. BUTCHERS S~ CARDS MUST 0 Summary Action Taken in Regard to Waiters’ Strike. Dealers Decide to Refuse Meat to Restaurants With Cards. = The join executive committee of the | Whkelesale Butchers' Assoclation and of | the Retail and Jobbing Butchers held a| meeting yesterday afternoon and agreed | to furnish no more meat to restaurants | displaying the union card. { Last night notices were sent to all the | restaurants in the city to the effect that | after 3 o'clock to-day no more meat would | be furnished to restaurants displaying | the union card. This practically settles | the strike, the wholesole butchers being | all included in the agreement. It is un- derstood that the wholesale oyster deal- ers intend to take similar action. 3 It is claimed by the Cooks’ and Waiters Unfon that there are upward of 200 union | restzurants in the city, but the whole- | salers say they have only been able to | find about 130. The petition for an injunction against the restaurant pickets came up on the calendar yesterday in the United States Circuit Court. Judge Morrow postponed the heéaring of the argument until next Monday and intimated that even then he » might not be ready to hear it San Francisco Typographical Union No. 21 has decided to assess its members 2 per cent of weekly salaries for an indefinite period to as: the striking machinists. OPPOSE CENTRALIZATION. Cearpenters Will Not Change Building | Trades’ Constitution. At the meeting of Carpenters’ Union | No. 453 held last night 175 members voted | against the proposed revision of the con- stitution of the Building Trades Council The Teason given by the members who | wvoted “nay” was that the proposed change | in the constitution repudiated national ! unions and afforded an opportunity for the centralization of power. | The union also withdrew its support from Organized Labor on the ground that }he paper no longer represented organized sbor. The dues of the members of the unicn were raised from 6) to 7 cents per month by an almost unanimous vote. | e AP The Sheet Metal Strike. “¥We are not borrowing a great deal of trouble about the strike of the men em- ployed by the American Steel Hoop Com- pany,” said Grove L. Avers, manager for Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, yesterday. “All the Eastern mills are crowded with | work now, and we have considerable dif- | ficulty in having our orders filled. Of course, 2 strike at this time will not make our troubles any the less. But beyond the difculty of filling orders for sheet metal | and hoop iron I do not think the strike | will be felt in San Francisco. But little | sheet iron is manufactured on this coast. | Our whole trouble will be the difficulty | in filling orders promptly in the East.” | “We have a few men at work making | black iron,” said Irwin Ayers of the Pa- cific Sheet Metal Works. “They are at work now, and if they have been ordereds to strike 1 will know it no sooner than anybody else. 1 know nothing about the strike of the sheet metal workers beyond what 1 have seen in the dispatches to the ! newspapers. Our own men have given no signs of Gissatisfaction.” All the “black” iron workers in the city were at work as usual yesterday, and there were no indications that a strike was in prospect. Some of these men are employed by W. W. Montague & Co. and others by Francis Smith & Co. it e No Strike of Street-Sweepers. “We put 100 of our old men to work on | | the streets this morning,” said G. F. Gras of Gray Brothers, street-sweeping | contractors, yesterday. ““We have had no | strike in the proper sense of the word. | Some of our men formed a Street Sweep- | ers’ Union weeks ago. We did not pay a great deal of attention to that. Then they got an idea that they might lose their | Jobs, and on Wednesday night they held | 2 meeting, disbanded their union and that | was the end of it. 1 did put some eight | or ten colored men at work, but they have | 2s good a right to work for a living as | anybody else, and are good workmen. As| 1 said first, 100 experienced men reported | for duty this morning and were put on | their jobs CUTS HIS THROAT WITH A RAZOR IN THE PARK Body of Unidentified Man Found Among Sand Dunes Near the Ocean. | Constantine Cisneros, a boy, living with | his parents at 1317 Powell street, found | the body of a suicide yvesterday morning | in Golden Gate Park. The boy was walk- ing among the brush-covered sand dunes not far from the life-saving statfon south of. the CIiff House about 8 o'clock, and he observed a strong odor proceeding from | & clump of trees and bushes. Drawing Tearer to the spot he discovered the body | of a man, the clothing blood-stained and en open razor lying near. The throat had been cut. The body was removed to the Morgue 2nd searched for evidence that might lead to identification. Nothing was found in the pockets but a carpenter's two-foot rule, two lead pencils, a pocketknife and two keys. The body was so much decom- d that the ‘eatures were unrecogniza- je. It was that of a man about five feet nine inches tall and was attired in a dark | ambitious scale, alway: suit, with white shirt and turned-down collar, black tie, black congress gaiters, gray irousers and black slouch hat. MORDSGO SELLS HI3 PLAYHDUSE Ackermanand Meyerfeld Head Purchasing Company. Policy of the Grand Will Not Be Changed by New Owners. The Grand Opera-house was purchased yesterday from Walter Morosco by a com- pany of which Charles L. Ackerman, Mor- ris Meyerfeld and Harry Morosco are the organizers, and which will be incorporated under the name of the Grand Opera-house Company. The transfer of ownership will not affect the policy of the management, and a stock company will be installed at the close of the Frawley season of eight weeks, under the management of Harry Morosco. There will be the regular grand opera season, as last year. The purchase price was $60,000, and the transfer included a three-year lease, of | which but two menths has expired, an op- | tion for a five-year lease at the expiration | of the present icaseand all the furnishings of the opera-house. The building is owned by James L. Flood and John W. Mackay. Negotiations between the purchasers | and Moroseo began but four days before | the consummation of the sale. Agreement | was reached Sunday and the frst pay- | ment was made vesterday, Charles Ac erman receiving for himself and asso. tes the lease and option and a bill of sale for the theater furnishings. Other parties approached Morosco re- cently with a vieW to the purchase of the theater, among them a client of Otto L Wise. Morosco named his price, but the deal was not made. Knowledge of the ne- gotiations came to Messrs Ackerman and | Meyerfeld, and they conceived the idea of | adding _to their theatrical investments. Mr. Ackerman conducted the megotiations for the proposed company. Morosco stipulated from the start that | his son, Harry Morosco, should have a | one-fourth interest in the new corpora- | tion, and the sale was made under such | arrangement. From Vaudeville to Drama. | the demented man could not be located. LEAPS TO DEATH FROM A BLUFF Demented Man’s Tragic Suicide at North Beach. Neil McCarthy Springs From Telegraph Hill to Rocks Below. Neil McCarthy, a plumber residing at 316 Chestnut street, committed suicide by leaping from a seventy-five-foot 'bluff at; the end of Kearny street early Sunday morning. The body was discovered yes- terday afternoon under a pile of frames, where the unfortunate man had dragged himself after he had made the fatal jump and just before he expired. = McCarthy was suffering from dementia, due to the excessive use of “intoxicants, when he rushed from his home to the scene of his death, attired only in an undershirt. McCarthy had been drinking for some time. He was arrested several days ago by Sergeant of Police Christiansen and Officer Robert Silver after a desperate struggle on Stockton street. After his re- lease from jail he was sent to his home, Tihere his relatives attempted to care for Sunday morning the unfortunate man became violent and could not be con- trolled. He jumped out of bed and before he could be stopped ran into the street. He was soon lost to signt and all effort to find a trace of him proved futile. For two days friends conducted a search, but Yesterday afternoon Morris Halloran, employed as a watchman for a North Beach iron works, located the body of Mc- Carthy under the pile of molders’ frames and reported the case to the Morgue. Mec- Carthy had fractured both legs by the fall and bled to death. BREUSS CAFE . HAS REOPENED The well-known Breuss Cafe, bakery | and lunchrooms, 70 Third street, after The theatrical investments of Messrs. | Ackerman and Meyerfeld have in the past been limited to vaudeville houses. Meye: feld is president of the Orpheum Circuit Company. Ackerman is president of the reorganized Chutes Company. Both are heavy stockholders in each of th also in the Olympia. The purcha Grand_Opera-house is their first invest- ment in a playhouse devoted to the dra- | ma. The new company will be incorpo- | rated within a tew days. It will be a close : | corporation, with a few other stockholders besides the three named. it is said that Morosco has expended | $100,000 on the furnishings of the play house during the last seven years. Two years ago he refurnished it at a cost of | $40,000. The electric lighting system alone | cost $10,000. | Retires From Theatrical Field. ‘ The sale of the Grand Opera-hnuset marks the retirement of Walter Moros from the theatrical field. | The veteran manager and proprietor be- | gan as a circus rider and acrobat, at the | age of 15. His real name is Walter Bishop. That is the name upon the door- | plate of his elegant country home in the | Fruitvale hills, and the name he uses in private business transactions. Lewis H Bishop, financial manager of the Grand Opera-house, is_his half-brother. Morosco’'s father, Joel Bishop, was a Guilford, Conn., merchant of old May- flower stock. son Walter left home at 15 to join a circus and took the name of Walter Melville. Finding that other acro- bats bore the name of Melville he changed to that of Walter Morosco and had the name copyrighted. And as Morosco has | he always been known here, and his son | and his son’s children, though Bishop is the name of the three generations. In 1880 Morosco became manager of Dan Rice’s circus. He came to San Francisco in 1852 and with his son, Harry Morosco, appeared in Andrews & Stockwell’s stock company production of ‘Humpty Dumpty” at the Grand Opera-house, of | which theater he secured control just | twelve years later. { Long Career as Manager. Morosco made a tour of the coast with | Sherman’s circus in 1884, and afterward took the show to the Hawalian Islands. | In 1885 he opened the Wigwam, located on the present site of the Spring Valley Waterworks Building, as an amusement | house. It had previously been used for | political meetings. He first installed a cir- | cus in it and it developed into variety and then into vaudeville, the Orpheum being the final outcome. | It was in 1886 that Morosco opened Union Hall on Howard street, afterward known as Morosco’s Theater. 'He installed there San Francisco’s first stock company play- ing at popular prices. | After eight years, in which he amassed a considerable fortune, he disposed of the Howard-street playhouse and took a lease on the Grand Opera-ho: in 1894. He fol- lowed the same policy there, but on a more priding himself to the| upon furnishing amusement humbler classes. Three years ago Morosco built one of the finest country homes in the State on his farm in the Fruitvale hills. Of late the active management of his theater has been in the hands of his son. while his at- tention has been devoted to his horses and other blood stock of his farm. His latest | fad is a team of ten Shetland ponies | driven tandem fashion. He announces | that he will not re-enter the theatrical | field, either as manager or proprietor. Shortridge Was Not There. The Commissioners of Building and | Loan Associations met yesterday and se- lected D. W. Field, a newly appointed Commissioner, to serve as president for the ensuing year.

Richard Bernstein, a 17-year-old lad, is in the city prison awalting investigation on several charges of burglary alleged to have been committed within the past week. According to the police records the youth is exceptional in his criminal in- clinations, and has made accomplices of several small boys, three of whom are un- der arrest with him. Three months ago Bernstein was re- the Whittier Reform School, whither he had been sent for having committed a re- volting crime. His condutt about the in- stitution of reform became so obnoxious that the superintendent would not Keep him and ordered him returned for trial. | Judge Cook was merciful and offered the | lad another chance upon his promise to appear in court once a month and to mend | his_evil ways. | Now Detective Edward O'Dea has ac- | cused the paroled offender of two burg- laries and expects to trace more deeds to his door. On Sunday morning Bern- stein is said to have broken into a grocery store conducted by Dreyfus & Constine at 1605 Geary street. After applying a “jimmie” to the cash register and ex- tracting its contents he passed a quantity of groceries out to a number of | little boys whom he induced to accompany him and disposed of his plunder In the neighborhood. Three boys were arrested | with Bernstein. The other burglary was | Van N hostel ss avenue. One of the rooms in the v was rifled and $10 in cash taken. e !

Supervisor McCarthy introduced aresolu- tion yesterday in the Board of Supervis- ors which provides that any person or corporation operating an electric street railroad in this city shall be required to maintain an arc-light fixture over the center of every street intersection crossed v such road. The ordinance also pro- vides that the light shall be kept lighted at the expense of the owners of the elec- tric roads during the hours that city street lamps are lighted. If the owners neglect to comply with the ordinance the Board of Works is vested with the power to 1emove the overhead wires, after giv- ing two weeks' notice. The ordinance was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The Printing Committee was authorized to order books from the firms which had the contracts for furnishing them to the city during the last fiscal year until such time as new contracts can be awarded. The Board will sit as a Board of Equal- ization on July 9 at 2 p. m. for the purpose of hearing applications for the correction of assessments. A rule was adopted as to the manner in which persons, firms or corporations are to be notified to show cause why their assessments should not be increased. For corporations, a written or printed notice will be delivered by the sergeant-at-arms to the president, secre- tary or managing agent and written no- tices will be mailed to the addresses of {;ersons, firms or companies at least 'welve hours prior to the time set for hearing. 5 The Assessor was authorized to add to the assessment books all property which may have escaped taxation during the fis- cal year 1901-2 and to make corrections of clerical errors. The City Attorney was directed to re- port to the Board the list of county roads in this city. An ordinance was passed to print de- claring Tuesday, A t 13, from and af- ter 2 p. m., a municipal holiday and also designating all municipal election days as legal holidays. The ordinance providing a schedule of fees for trenching work and making a flat charge of $12 per month to corpora- tions o?etaflns continuously was passed to Tgrln e Board of Public Works was author- ized to expend $25,000 in erecting a fire- gngine house on Howard street, hear rd.

Information Bureau Successful. Secretary W. M. Weil of the California Colony Association says the work of the information bureau has resulted most suc- cessfully so far. During the month of June $54,000 worth of land was sold di- rectly through the efforts of the associa- tion, and forty-one people were settled in the 'State. In addition employment has been found for fifty others, which makes a total of ninety people who have iden- tified their interests with those of Cali- fornia. The organization has been in ac- tive operation but three months, and re- sults are highly satisfactory to_the com- mercial bodies of this city, under whose auspices the work was inaugurated. It expected that the Epworth League convention will bring hundreds of people to California who may be induced to lo- {hie et pemenei, o e Mari o cf strongl, to this end. it RIVAL BIDDERS LE PROTESTS Contracts Are, However, Awarded by the Supervisors. (e TR Another protest was filed with the Board of Supervisors yesterday by seven book- binding firms against the award of the contract for the city's printing to. the Hayden Printing Company. The ground for the protest was stated to be the rule incorporated in the proposals providing that no bids should be received from par- ties not regularly engaged in the business. The protest was of no_avail, however, and the ordinance awarding the contract was finally passed, because the rates for printing are 20 per cent lower than last year. Notice was served on the Board that a restraining order was issued at the in- stance of the Del Monte Milling Company to restrain the Board from awarding the contract for groceries to Hooper & Jen- nings because their bid was not accom- panied by the requisite 10 per cent check. As_the city institutions will suffer for lack of, the supplies, the case will be tried immediately. The protest of W. W. Montague against the award of the $10,000 contract for pipe to the Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Company was denied. The protest of John Roebling’s Sons against C. F. Sloane for copper conduit wire was referred to a joint committee for adjudication. James Hagan protested without avail against the awarding of the contract to bury the indigent dead to Edward Kelly. The action of the Health and Hospital Committee in ordering® the readvertise- ment for bids for hay and other supplies for the Almshouse and City Hospital be- cause the price asked was higher than the market quotations was approved. The City Attorney was directed to de- fend the suit brought by the Spring Val- ley Water Company nst the Board to declare the water rates ills The same official was asked whether Board had the power to employ. special counsel to defend the sult. The petition of the Board of Publie ‘Works for authorization to paint the ex- terior of the Hall of Records at a cost of $2000 was referred to the Building Com- mittee, The Hayes Valley Athletic Club was re- fused a permit for a boxing exhibition after Braunhart had opposed it on moral grounds. The resolution directing the Board to in- vestigate the Peoples’ Mutual Telephone Company with a view toward determin- ing if it has forfeited its franchise was indefinitely postponed. A resolution was adopted commending Assessor Dodge for increasing the assess~ ment roll from $350,000,000 to $415,000,000. ° - . Six Months for Shaw. Michsel, allas Martin, Shaw, who_was ordered Into custody Saturday by Judge Mogan on a charge of vagrancy, appeared in court yesterday and offered to plead guilty, as he was afraid a felony charge might be brought against him. The Judge sentenced him to six months in the Coun- ty Jail, and remarked that if he could have made it six years it would have been one of the pleasures of his life. The deli- cate young girl, Ethel Shaw, who for two vears has_been under the Impression that she had been legally married to Shaw, will be cared for by two philanthropic la- dies who read of her story in the news- apers, They are Miss F, H.

Edward J. Casey, one of Tax Collector Scott's deputies, resigned his position yes- terday, and rumors are rife around the City Hall that Casey's action is the be- ginning of a weakening in the opposition to the appointment of civil service eligi- bles to succeed the deputies who refuse to give up their positions. Casey giv the reason for his resignation that Coun- ty Clerk Deane has promised to appoint him clerk. of the Police Court to succeed J. J. Groom, who has resigned. Of the fifteen deputies employed in the Tax and License offices only three were sufficiently high on the eligible list to be certain of certification by, the Civil Ser- vice Commission. - They aré Ben Salomor, A. W. Janes and James McCabe. Since the annpuncement of the eligible list Casey and William Hume would be as- sured of selection because several eligi- bles have either left the city or have been appointed to other positions. Al Lewald, another deputy, who did not take the examination, sued out a restrain- ing order some time ago to prevent the Civil Service Commission from interfering with the positions of the deputies. Judge Murasky has the case under advisement and wiil render a decision in a few day: The deputies have not drawn salary for two months because of the protest of the Mayor against their payment by the Treasurer. Some of the deputies are chafing over the fact that they are not drawing any pay. It was on the cards that McCabe, Casey and Janes intended to resign under an nlleged agreement be- tween Tax Collector Scott and Mayor Phelan whereby the other deputies would be discharged and the eligibles, certified by the commission,- would replace them. This would. insure the appointment of ga;ey. Salomon, Janes, Hume and Mec- ‘abe. ‘When the leaders in the opposition heard this disquieting rumor a commitree of deputies waited on Scott at his resi- dence and as! him pomt blank if he had made the agreememt mentioned with the Mayor. Scott swore that he made no such compact. The deputles retired satisfled that thelr superior would not go back on them. They are still somewhat 'perturbed over the rumored intention of some of the dep- uties ‘to retire from the fight against civil service, and Casey’s resignation has made them still more uneasy. Caught Between Two Cars. William Ripley, a quarryman employed by Gray Bros. at their quarry in San Ma- teo County, was caught between two load- ed cars yesterday and was badly crushed. He was removed to the City and County Hospltal in one of the express wagons from the quarry. It is thought his inju- ries may prove fatal. —_———————— Gamble Is Charged.
