THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1901. 23 FAIR'S TRUST GLAUSE FALLS Court Orders Personalty | Distributed to the Children. Two Millions Withheld Pend- ing Hearing of Mrs. Craven’s Claim. LS AL James G. Fair's last expression of his desire that the bulk of his fortune should | pass to the children of his children has been blotted out of his will by Judge James M. Troutt. The last testament of the dead millionaire now stands on the records of the court useless in its intended purpose, simply conveying to the world the wishes of James G. Fair, which would have been honored had it not betn for law. z A few weeks ago the Supreme Court adjudged the trust clause in the will Was concerned, holding that to Fair's property was c tees 1o transfer and conves +f his kinared, such a trust thorized by the statute, the same must fall. In the same decision the Supreme Court declared that the invalid trust to convey carried with it the otherwise valid trust for the lives of the testator's chil- - n.d.vg»nd that “therefore the whole trust But the trustees and construed this opinion and the “thereiore the whole trust failed,” refer solely io the trust relating to the real property of the estate.

The action came up before Judge Troutt on a petition for partial distribu- tion filed by the children on April 23, I8!

E. J. POWER. last night in camp will be a mem- orable one in the annals of the First Regiment, League of the Cross Cadets. Never before was there such good-natured, rollicking sport. Every member of the camped here belleved it was his duty to 2dd to the merriment. through camp, playing outlandish music. Every compeny street had its entertain- ment and the hundreds of visitors were treated to novel amusements. Companies {"vied with one another in decorating their tents and streets. Chinese lanterns, bunt- ing, flags and gaudy colors were used and the effect was striking. No one attempted to sleep. Throughout the night discordant sounds and reveiry kept every cadet awake. The camp guards had a busy time quelling the noise, but their efforts were usel The guardhouse was filled to overflowing, but this did not stop the fun. Early in the evening an entertainment was given at headquarters. Major Duffey had charge of the programme. Refresh- ments were served to the guests of the | office Lieutenant John O'Brien ren- dered a tenor solo, Dave Torres per formed on the banjo; Armand Putz, the leader of the band, played a cornet soio; ‘Willard Sloane sang some sweet melodies, as did George I". Keane, and camp come- | dians told of experfences of the week. Short speeches were made by Colonel Mc- Gloin, Father O'Ryan and others. J. Gaughran succeeded in captur- | ing_Camp Power, despite the resistance of Major Duffey’s command. While the sham battle was not as exciting as, the one on Wednesday, it was extremely in- teresting. The-defenders of the camp used the cannon and buckets of water to beat back the besiegers. During a hot battle around the flagpole, Gaughran anu a portion of his command rushed through the gate and claimed possession of the camp. To-morrow at 3 o'clock the regiment will leave by special train and it will ar- rive in San Francisco at 6:30 p. m. It is expected that hundreds of persons. will come to Napa on excursion trains to get a view of the encampment before it passes into history. The ceremony of breaking camp will be watched with deep interest by the visitors. The cadets will prepare for departure during the morning hours. At 2 o'clock the bugler on duty at headquarters will blow the *“general. At a signal from the gun the cadets will | drop their tents. This-is an extremely | pretty sight. The tents are dropped to- ward headqguarters and within a few mo- i ments the field covered by hundreds of | cadets, who strive to beat one another tying up the canvas homes. To-morrow morning the regiment will attend military mass at St. John's Church. Rev. Father O’Ryan will be | chaplain. Rev.

He has been lenient and just and has done everything in his power for the comfort of the cadets. Notes of the Camp. our this morning by hearing a band playing ltvely music. The sound of brass instruments in the early hours made it impossible for peo- ple to sleep in camp or elsewhere. It appears that the band, under the leadership of Austin Morris, stole out of camp with its instruments and took up a position in the vicinity of the graveyard and then played “A Hot Old Time" and similar music. A provost guard was sent out for the musicians, but the latter were too wary. They retreated to another spot and again rendered sweet music. The happy musi- clans continued playing on every side of camp for an hour. When captured by the guard they were takbn to the guardhouse. Captain Frank McCarthy of Company D re- turned to camp this morning. His entire com- pany met him at the depot and escorted him, Jack Donohue, regimental inspector, and Nash Dwyer, formerly captain of Company D, have been in camp for the past three da: Musician Reilly ate at a downtown rotis- serie a few nights back and soup was served to him en tasse. Rellly belleved it was tea | and proceeded to administer milk and sugar. When he discovered his error he was wroth. Colonel McGloin was the victim of a joke to-day. McGloin returned from a trip down town and found a cow contentedly munching straw in his tepee. The cow had the colonel's leggings on her front feet and his hat rested jauntily on the animal's horns. A few other decorations were added that gave the cow an abpearance that was startling iIn the ex- treme rgeant Walter O'Connor keeps his mates awake nights by the interesting mono- logue he carries on in his sleep.

It is composed of Sergeant Koch, Privates Ed Marden, Arthur Wicks and Al Marden. A. R. Fouratt of Company A was captured by a band of Indians led by Chief Doling. Fouratt wes tied to a stake and after being properly blackened was left there to be gazed at by visitors in camp. Dr. Giannini arrived in camp this morning and in company with Dr. Morrisey proceeded to add more pains to the unfortunate cadets who were compelled to seek their aid. Captain James Toohey of Company G was officer of the dageand Lieutenant Johnson was officer of the guard. Company D is the largest in camp. There are forty-elght members here. Last night all but three spent the night in the guardhouse. The trio were on guard, otherwise they would have been among those ‘‘jugged.’” Captain Frank Fontaine, an executive offi- cer of the regiment and Company O’s advisor in_matters military, arrived in camp to-day. ““The Sons of Rest’”” occupy stately apart- ments In Paulist avenue. P. Merle, G. Henno, E. McKebitt and Bob Power are members of the soclety.

He received his educa- tion in that city, being a most studious youth, and at 16 years of ago spoke Ger- man, French, English, Spanish and Dutch. He entered the banking house of his father at Aix-la-Chapelle in the early part of the last century, subsequently visiting the principal financial centers of Europe and remaining for a long season at Frankfort-on-Main, in those days the great financial center of the world. Con- ceiving, at that time, a desire to see the New World, he came to America with his brother Albert. After visiting most of the States, he concluded to see California also. and reached San Francisco in the summer of 1852. He became manager of a leading mercantile establishment of the time shortly after arriving here and also engaged in private banking and in several successful business operations at the mines. He accumulated considerable wealth by these means, and at the time of the Fra- zer River excitement, in company with his cousin, the late Adolph Sutro, he left this city for Victoria and Westminster. At the latter place the cousins made large in- vestments in land. They returned to San Francisco the same year, and Charles Sutro once more engaged in the exchange and banking business. He had been bred to it and understood it thoroughly. He at once attracted a large clientele, and in a cosmopolitan city such as this is his muhery of languages stood him in good stead. Charles Sutro, although of foreign birth, was a patriot and at the beginning of the Civil War headed the subscription list for the first national loan. His brother Al- bert joined him in business in 1865, and later on two other brothers, Gustave and Emil, since deceased. The firm then be- came Sutro & Co. They were the largest dealers in bonds on the Pacific Coast and were quoted as the authority on that class of securities. After the death of his two brothers Charles Sutro retired. In a few years the banking and exchange business in his family will have reached its one hundredth year. He was a man of the most strict honor and integrity. His charity was un- bounded, but not ostentatious. He lived the life of a good citizen—the life of a man who gave strength and character to the community in which he dwelt. Residents of Napa,were startled at an early | tent- | Company M. Whenever one of the trio sleeps | | | | | | | | | TEAMGTERS OW GENTER OF TROUBLE Draymen Threaten to Discharge Their Em- ployes. Men Are Notifled That They Must Obey Orders or Lose Their Places. ot Proposed Strike of Street Car Con- ductors and Gripmen May Yet Assume Formidable Pro- portions. e = A general tie-up of the wholesale and retall trade of this city may develop to- morrow, unless the Draymen’s Associa- tion and the Brotherhood of Teamsters come to some agreement. Efforts toward the accomplishment of such a result will be attempted to-day, but the prospect of | an dgreement is not very bright. ‘When the announcement was made that the Morton Special Delivery Company had been boycotted by the San Francisco La- bor Council, and that its affiliated branch, the Morton Drayage and Warehouse Com- pany, was incidentally concerned in the matter, the Draymen's Association noti- fied the men emploved by its members that they would be expected to live up to the agreement made some six months ago. At that time a schedule of wages was adopted and hours of labor fixed. These remained in force until the influx of Bastern visitors with a myriad of pack- ages, valises and trunks. The climax came when members of the Brother- hood of Teamsters refused to han- dle any baggage consigned to the boycotted firm or those who were assisting it. The details of the contro- versy were difficult of adjustment. Extraneous matter cropped up during the controversy, and the Draymen's As- sociation determined to end the matter in the shortest time possible. As the men left or returned to the barns yesterday they were notified that unless they complied with the agreement made at that ume they must quit their jobs. About 1000 men were reached during the day, and the balance, approximately 500, will be notified as soon as possible. Secretary George Renner of the Dray- men’s Association said last night: Fight to the Finish. “We have notified about 1000 employes of the various firms that are included in the agreement we made some time ago that they must obey our instructions or quit our employ. We gave the teamsters all they asked for, and intend to see that they get it. But we do not propose to be dictated to by any body of men. We in- tend to stand firm, and if these people are carried away by a single idea we propose to discipline them. The emplover must run_his buginess and not be subject to anybody’'s hims or inclinations. Our fight is a fight to the finish.” As a result of this determined stand matters are in a chaotic state. Under the resolution declaring a boycott against the Morton Special Delivery Company a large number of union men employed in whole- sale and retail establishments will have to refuse to deliver any goods that may be consigned to the company for delivery. A large number of unions, directly and indirectly connected with the delivery business, are involved. Just what the out- come may be will depend upon the con- ferences to be held to-day. If the Broth- erhood of Teamsters insists on its boy- cott it may result in serious consequences to the city. These questions were discussed at a meeting of the Brotherhood of Team- | sters held last night at 672 Fourth street, but as no conclusion was reached at mid- night, it was determined to hold a meet- ing in a larger hall, some time to-day. So grave did the situation appear y terday afternoon that Chief of Police Su livan was called into conference. He sald that he would provide all the men he possibly could, but would be compelled to ask for additional assistance. He pro- posed to go before the Board of Supervi- sors to-morrow 2nd ask for authority to employ additional men, to be sworn in either as regular or special officers, to prevent any possible disturbance which the members of the Draymen’s Associa- tion seem to fear. Sympathetic Strike Expected. A sympathetic strike of the porters, packers and warehousemen, men employ- ed alongshore and others whose duties brirg them in contact with the teamsters and draymen is expected. Efforts are be- ing made on the part of the employers composing the greater portion of the wholesale and retall districts, to avert any extended tle-up of business. The Brotherhood of Teamsters last night issued the following statement: We desire to place ourselves in a right light before the public, as we are not on a_strike, nor do we intend to go on strike. But we are locked out by the Draymen's Association, urder the orders of the Manufacturers’ and Employers’ Assoclation. ing_for firms owning. their own teams to work as long as_they do not interfere in out- side hauling. We intend to hold a special meeting this morning at the Turk-street Tem- | Dle to dlscuss the situation' and instruct the drivers as to what course to pursue. According to_Manager Vining of the Market Street Railway system full infor- mation of the actions of the men em- ployed by the company regarding the for- mation of a union was conveyed to head quarters some time ago. He confirms the statement that the men who were dis- charged were leaders, in a_movement to unionize the system. and while admitting that the number of men named in The Call were discharged, would not admit that it was because of their desire to form a union. He was not disposed to discuss the situation. The Car Employes’ Union has sent an ultimatum to the managers of the road which takes the form of the usual de- mand for increased pay and _shorter hours. Two weeks was given the com- pany for compliance with the demands. This_time will expire within a few days, In the meanwhile some of its trusted secret service employes have been called to the city and are now enjoying rides to the scenie points of the city with a view of determining just what the situation may be. Some of these men may be called upon to see that, in the event of a strike, the mail cars go through on time. Union Labor Party. The following address has been issued by the executive committée of the Union Labor party: The executive commlttee of the Union Labor | party desires to inform the voters of organized labor that they are not actuated by any in- structicns received or given by the Sax Fran- Cisco Labor Council, or yet is the San Fran- Cisco Labor Council responsible for the calling together of members of organized labor for the purpose of calling a convention for the nom- ination of a full and complete municipal ticket to be voted for at the next coming elec- tion in November. Such action as is now be- ing taken by members of organized labor is actuated by principles they believe to be only fair, equitable and just to all organized labor. That In the past they have rendered valuable assistance {o the two great parties in the cast- ing of their ballots for their candidates, and as a mark of gratitude in this their great hour of irial when labor naturally expected a_sym- Dathetic word from their public servants they find that thelr appeals and supplications were only met wita scoffs and rebuffs. In view of the fore the executive committee of the Unicn Labor party believes it is the duty of every man whether skilled or unskilled who are members of any labor union, or any work- ingmen who are not affiliated with any union for the preservatfon of themselves and fam- flies, to urge their friends and fellow work- men to enter in earnest into the movement for the purpose of holding a convention, and on the day of the general election march up in ol phalanx and elect the ticket of the peo- ple, so'that the shackles that have bound them in ke past will be unfettered aRd that they can all assume the godiike attitude of free- We allow men driv- | | | | | | | 1 | | | QUIETLY WED AT HOME OF THE BRIDE’S MOTHER Miss Clara Byington Becomes the Wife of Fred Boeckmann and- the Young Couple Leave Immediately on Thelr Honeymoon, to Be Spent on Shores of Lake Tahoe ot ISS CLARA BYINGTON and Frederick O.

THOUSANDS ATTEND x CONCERT AT PAVILION Frogramme m‘dered in Presence of Largest Audience Ever Gathered , in City. The second grand concert of the conven- tion took place last night at the Pavilion before as large and friendly an audience as on the first occasion. Every seat was filled, and the concert in many important respects was an even greater success than on its first giving. The Tuesday pro- gramme was repeated, with some changes in the solo numbers, but the choice of | Saturday night for the concert was rather unfortunate in its effect on the chorus, which was very considerably smaller than at the first concert. What was lost in Volume wzs perhaps gained in accuracy, however, the ensemble being distinctly bettar than it was with the larger chorus, though this was largely owing v fhe really phenomenal work of W. B. King at the organ, by which the imperfections of ihe Instrument as it is now placed were quite obviated. Cheir and organ were ex- actly together, and the choruses went with a noble swing and ajr. W. F. Skeele played the prelnde and finale from *‘Con- tert Plece in G’ (Guilmant) and “‘Varfa- tions on a Scotch Air,” of Dudleyvnuck s, in addition to nis numbers of Tuesday, snd was heartily applanded. The. Park Sisters, cornetists, received their —usual ovation, and Miss Anna Park, substituting for the Juanita Club, played “Columbia,” by Hartman, and ‘‘Bonnie Sweet Bessie as a cornet solo, Miss Katibel Parks ac- companying her on the piano. Captlain Wiltman managed the crewd admirably. There was no jam at any time, as on Tuesday last, and the vast audience was seated comfortably by 8:30 o'clock, when the concert began. EPWORTH CHILDREN HOLD A CONFERENCE At 2 meeting of the junior conference of the league, held yesterday morning at 9 o'clock in the Howard-street Mcthedist Church, metkods of inducing the cnildren to enter the Methodist church and {0 un- dertake the work of the league were dis- cussed. One feature of the meetinrg was the first appearance of the women of the league on the platform. The Rev. T. Al- bert Moore of Ontario, Canada, directed the conference. J. C. Hill and Mrs. Fan- nie E. Poorman of Sacramento. C: led the scng service, while Mrs. Annie Hobbs Wocdcock of Aurora, Neb., treated the subject of “Devotional Meetings.” In ac- cordance with her ideas revival mectings should be held for the children as well as for their elders. ““A Reading Course for Juniors” was the subject of an interesting address by Mrs. Annie E. Smiley of Lowell, Mass. She stated that children should be permitied to use none but the very best of litera- ture. The seeslon was concluded by a round- table conference, led by the Rev. 8. T. Bartlett of Ontario, Carada, during which all the leaders present related interesting incldents in their experience. _— Ho Yow Makes Reply. Chinese Consul General Ho Yow vester- day addressed a communication to the Ep- worth League convention in reply to an | official address to that body by the San Francisco, Labor Council a few days ago, in which the Chinese were declared to be a menace to American industries and re- questing the convention to urge the re-en- actment of the Chinese exclusion iaw.

President Shaffer Urges Mert to - Continue the Strike. [ PR PITTSBURG, July 20—The first week: of the steel strike ended to-day i this district with two big meetings, one in« dorsing non-unionism, the other condemn< ing it. -The first was held at Vandergrift this afternoon, where the sentiment of the workers of the Vandergrift, Leech« burg, Apollo and Saltsburg plants of the American Steel Company was expressed in speeches and resolutions. More tham 1800 men attended the gathering. Speeches wers made by prominent mill workers in dorsing non-unionism and declaring loy- alty to the company. When the speech< making had concluded the following reso« lution was adopted: ‘Whereas, There is at present troubls extsting between the Amalgamated Association of Ironm, Steel and Tin Workers and the American Sheet Steel Company, which has arisen by reason of the sald association demanding that all mon- union mills be organized inte the union, whicl, demand we o not indorse; therefore, be it Resolved, by the ironworkers of Vandere grift, Apollo, Leechburg and Saltsburs, asseme bled 'this 20th day of July, 1901, at Vandergrift,. Pa., that we hereby express our loyaity to the. managers of the American Sheet Steel Come pany. During the years we have worked fors said company we have recetved omly the fair< est treatment at their hands; our wages hava been entirely satisfactory and we ask that we be permitted to work non-unfon, as we have. been doing since 1393, We feel that mo labow | unfon can make our condtion any better o™ | more honorable than ft s at present, since war are subject to no one man's dictation. Shaffer Asks for Unity. The meeting at McKeesport was dia« metrically opposed to the Vandergrift gathering in its object and action. It was held in White’s Opera-house nuder the auspices of the Amalgamated Associae, tion and was addressed by several of the prominent officials of the association,, principal among whom was President Shaffer. The hall was crowded ta the doors and much enthusiasm was evie denced. In an impassioned speech Presiv dent Shaffer urged the mill men to stand up for their union. In the course of his talk he said: | _Representatives of the American Sheet Steel | Company have repeatedly told me that it tha laboring men were all organized_the associa« tion would become too strons. I have neves spoken of this before. The men are now out. on strike, and I advise them to stand together,, Another official told me there ought to bs non~ union mills In order to hold the balance of power. Men of McKeesport. are you not tired chewing bones? The trusts have not eonly kicked you this time, but are fighting you. The combine_has threatened to move the Woods mill to Vandergrift If the men don't return to work, but you can rest assured the Woods mill will never be moved to Vandersrift or any other place. The mill officials have implored the officials of the Amalgamated Assoclation ta start the plant, as they needed the product. A report is being circulated that the mill will start Monday with non-union men, but it never will be. The only thing which will start the mill willé be the taking back of the old men, and as long as the men are out the mill cannot be started. | There are not enough men in the country to start the Woods mill, and there is not now suf- ficlent time to make men to put the plant in operation next Monday. Organized labor is bound to win, but remember, men, a peaceabla and bloodies victory is the best and most hon orable victory. I would not advise the saloons to be closed during the present trouble, because proprietors of such places nave patd a license to operate them. I advise you, however, to ba careful to abstaln from Intoxicating beverages %o excess. to observe the law and commit no act | of violence. Increase Made in Wages. It was- stated to-night In McKeesport that the organization of rolling mill men of the National Tube Company had been completed to-day and that twenty-eight men had signed the agreement to join the assoclation. The association officials would not confirm the report. A telegram from Steubenville, Ohio, to-night says: “An important announcement was madd at the National Steel Company’s mills at Mingo Junction this evening, based on an order from the Carnegie Company, to the effect that the future wages of all employes, including laborers, will ba raised to that paid in the Carnegie mill The manufacturers claim to be well sat= isfled with the developments of the week as there are still in operation the non- union mills at Vandergrift, Chester, Dun- cansville, Old Meadow.
