12 N THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 JUDGE DUBOGE'S MOTION GRANTED Rehearing of Contempt CaseOrdered by Fed- eral Court. —_— Testimony 1o Be Taken by Commissioner Heacock This Week. United States Circuit Judge Morrow and United States District Judge de Haven sat yesterday morning as & United States Circuft Court of Appeals to hear a motion for a rehearing of the contempt case agalnst ex-Judge Dudley DuBose, now serving a sentence of six months’ im- prisonment in the Alameda County Jail for baving advised a client to disregard the court’s writ of supersedeas. The petition was offered by Garret Mc- Eperney on behalf of the prisoner, the terms of the petition being a denial of any intention of setting at defiance the writ of supersedeas issued by the court in the Nome mining cases, and on an un- qualified aission to the authority of the court and of its processes. Mr. McEnerney affidavit of Major Van A ale of the United States ar stationed at Nome, to the effect that the alleg- ! contempiuous language was ‘not used by Judge DuBose. Major Van Arsdale deposes in the affidavit that he was certain that Judge DuBose never | said that he advised Mr. Comptois or any one else to disobey the writ. What Judge DuBose did say was that the military au- no thorities had jurisdiction to enforce the writ, but the United States Cir- cuit Court of Appeals could punish for ccntempt in case of it being disobeyed. Major Van Arsdale deposed further that as soon as he saw the newspaper accounts of the sentenceof Judge DuBose he volun- teered his service to set the Judge right before_the Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. McEnerne read an affidavit by Judge DuBose, in ch he positively centes that he advised Comptois to dis- obey the writ or assist in defeating an: of the orders of the court. He denies hav- inv made the statements attributed to hiz by Kennett M. Jackson and others on | the proceedings before Major Van Ars-| aale. He recognizes the absolute neces- sity for ail courts to maintain their juris- diction and that it is the Guty of all at- torpeys to aid the courts in execution of their processes and orders. | Judge Morrow, after a_ whispered con- | sultation with Judge de Haven, said that | unor a consideration of 2l the facts the court was of the opinion that the showing was sufficient to entitle Judge DuBose to | a rehearing and to admit him to bail | pending that proceeding. The court at its regular meeting in October would re ceive whatever evidence Mr. McEnerney mwight have to submit, said Judge Mor- Tow. Uron Mr. McEnerney calling the atten. on of the court to the ‘act that naviga- to Nome would be closed by the ice that time, the court referred the task of taking testimony to United States Ceurt Commissioner Heacock and fixed e's bonds at $5000. 3 ury, who appeared as amicus curize, remarked that Judge DuBose’s de- rial was a surprise to him, because on the hearing of the case his attorney seemed to admit that Judge DuBose had Ze the statements charged against him. McEnerney explained _that his had said to one of the litigants that e writ of supersedeas was void, but he v the 1 ant to disobey the The court requested Mr. Pillsbury to ap- pear before Commissioner Heacock and Cross examine wit es. | Central. Much interest is being displayed over the production this evening of “A Voice in the Wilderness, the semi-religious play of EGward Elsner. Belasco & Thall have spared no expense in mounting the production, and the full-dress, rehearsal held last night gave every indication that the Central Theater is likely to be the center of attraction in the amuse- ment world r an indefinite period. The ncipal character of John the Baptist will be assumed by Robert Downing, Herod will be portraved by Robert Cum- mings, Pontius Pilate will be assumed by Lawrence Lowell, Herodias is to be en- trusted to Annette Marshall and Salome will be plaved by Oza Waldrop.

Altogether one of ~the daintiest romances of later days is Mr. Marshall's new piece, a quaint and piquant love story, with a setting of royalty behind the séenes. A certain kingdom of Arca- cla, probably so-called because it is a near neighbor to Arcadia, finds itself on the verge of an inconvenient war with a | stronger power. The war equipment of Arcacia is of the comic opera order, it is therefore decided to offer up the Prin- | | cess Alestine Victorine Angela of Arca- cia as a living sacrifice to the belligerent neighbor, the Kingdom of Kurland, through the usual altar of matrimony. The Princess, on having the subject broached to her, and seeing her duty clear, naturally disapproves of the pro- posed alliance, saying that she objects to being “married for the_ purposes of geography alone.” Papa, King of Ar- cacla, reasons, but in vain, and seeks the counsel of the Cardinal Archbishop of Caron, capital of Arcacia. The Cardinal asks permission to manage the matter in his own way and promises to bring the | recreant young damsel to her senses within the stipulated ten days, if allow- | ed to handle the affair. | The King consents and his_own seemingly the very Cardinal singular | way in the matter, to the high disdain of i the Queen Dowager, who is spending a | surprised old age in learning her own inconsequence, ~and evervthing ends L happily ever afterward.

Annie Russell, slim. spirituelle, little creature, is the Princess, and it is not possible to conceive of ished and graceful than her perform- ance. She has the clearest, sweetest voice, and a spirit of high-bred, delicate comedy that could hardly be excelled.

On Monday and Tuesday nights the Neills will produce for the first time here Dion Boucicault’s famous comedy, “The Jilt,” and on Wed- nesday night Mr. Neill's masterpiece, “A Bachelor’s' Romance,” will be produced for the last time. “The Royal Box” is the bill selected for Thursday matinee and night. That hilarious comedy, “The Lot- tery of Love,” will mark the concluding performance on Friday night. Alcazar. 2 “Ingomar,” the cattle filching barbarian, Wwho speaks Greek like a poet and makes love like a fool, is the attraction this week at the Alcazar, with White Whit- tlesey in the name part and Florence Rob- erts as Parthenia. Their conception of the characters, while differing somewhat from that of their predecessors, is cor- rect with but few flaws. They were warmly applauded last night during the progress of the beautiful love comedy and were thrice called before the curtain to receive the crown of applause. Barton Hill, who was a leader in the McCullough- Barrett Stock Company in the days of the old California, has the ungrateful part of the miserly Polydor. He plays it with all his old-time fire and fidelity and shares the applause with the stars at the head of the cast. Frank Bacon, who would be funny on his deathbed, makes charming comedy out of the part of Myron, the father of Parthenia. Not only Ingomar but the audience laughs at his tears and ridicules his funny sorrows. Paul Gerson's Alas- tor is a manly impersonation, and Lucius Henderson’s Himarch is sufficiently virile even for a Mayor. Orpheum. The attractive biil at the Orpheum this week drew another packed house last night.

TENOR WHO HAS BEEN shares honors with the dainty star, for her clever picture of the poor old Queen Dowager, who is occupied in fighting for ‘four horses that are horses” to her chariot, and for other forms of recog- nition. " She looked tho part most fully, a very manual of etiquette in her every move, and was most heartily welcomed by the audience. Eleanor Sanford fills the reigning Queen's part acceptably. here are three men in the cast who do, in their separate roles, work as good of its kind as we have had here—Laurence D’Orsay, the King; W. H. Thompson, the Cardinal, and Orrin Johnson, the lover. Laurence D'Orsay makes a most person- able king to begin with and a polished and courtly monarch that any kingdom might | do much worse than acquire. Mr. Thomp- son, as the Cardinal is a fine old Machia- vellian figure, splendidly played through- out. Orrin Johnson as the prince makes a handsome and pleasing lover. The smal- ler parts are all well taken and the set- tings and costumes, with the picturesque military uniforms, leave nothing to be de- sired. Tivoli. The Tivoli company fulfilled all that had been predicted concerning the per- formance of “Norma.” That most tune- ful of Bellini's operas was put on last evening, with Barbareschi in the title role, and an excellent Norma she proved to be. In fact this was the best appear- ance that she has made so far this sea- son, and the audience was corresponding- ly enthusiastic. Bravura is the music generally, and the Barbareschi voice filled the requirements very thoroughly and _satisfactorily. Poletini’s contralto was heard to ver; y good advantage in the duos wi Barbareschi. Castellano’s role of Pollio was handled very well. He sang as usual, his high notes being very strong. Dado was a triumphant Oroveso. His solos in the first and last acts de- serve special mentlon. Of course the “‘Casta Diva” by Barbareschi, and the hackneyed ‘‘Hear Me, Norma,” were the features. The orchestra fairly outdid it- self in the loving and caressing manner in which it devoted itself to the render- ing of the flowing and sensuous melodies of ‘the score. *Norma' was popular with our grandparents, surely, but it has not lost its charm with the present genera- tion. The performance last evening would alone be sufficient to make memorable the present Tivoli grand opera season. The less fmportant roles went to Miss Sannie Kruger and Cortesi. “Norma' is billed for Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings. This 'evening ‘“Mignon” will be revived, with Collamarini as_Mignon, Repetto as _ Filina, Russo as Wilhel Nicolini as Lothario_and Poletini, Cor: tesl, Napoleoni and Davenport also in the cast. Grand Opera-House. There was a splendid welcome for Jos- eph Haworth at the Grand Opera-house last evening, and curtain calls that brought him before the footlights many times after each act. Lester Wallack's old drama ‘‘Rose- dale,” in which the new star of the Mis- sion-street house made his appearance, is one of those few dramas that age can. not wither. The stirring scenes and ex- citing situations still rouse an audience in the same fashion that they roused those of twenty years ago. In Elliot Gray, the cool, daring, dash- ing soldier, Haworth has a part that fits him easily, gracefully and becomingly. The company with which the star has surrounded himself lends him a splen- did support. Laura Nelson Hall is pret- ty and charming as impulsive osa Leigh, Charles Waldron makes a _very earnest Matthew Leigh. Lilllan Buck- ingham is a very attractive Lady Flor- ence May, and Fred Butler an unusually convincing Niles McKenna. The play is very artistically staged.

The Hughes-Baxter controversy, which started with the alleged jilting of Gerald Hughes, son of a Colorado millionaire, by Cornelia Baxter, the beautiful Denver girl who subsequently became the wife and then the widow of Hugh Tevis, had another chapter added to it last night when former Governor George W. Bax- ter, the young lady's father, arrived at| the Palace. San Krancisco papers printed a dis- patch from Denver last Sunday in which it was stated that the Baxter home in Denver had been purchased by Hughes, and that the sale had been forced on the Baxters by the social ostracism to which the family had been subjected since the | daughter became the bride of the Cali- fornia millionaire. ‘When seen last night Governor Baxter was mad clear through. He declares the story is absolutely false and that it was | instigated or written by the Hughes, father and son. Governor Baxter decided | it was time for him to do a little talk-| ing himself and he dictated the following | statement: Inspired by the Hugheses. “I am surprised the papers of this cily should lend themselves to the publication of such malicious and venomous slush as | appeared Sunday morning. For more | than five months past 1 have seen from time to time in the public press numerous articles intended to reflect upon me.and my family which 1 have passed over in siience, as they were all written by Gerald Hughes or his father, C. J. Hughes, or inspired by them. Most of this was paid for at the regylar advertis- ing rates. “*As I have assumed that any differences which I may have with them or they with | me were of a purely personal character and not subject to newspaper controversy I have ignored them, under the impression that I could not reply without lowering myself to their level. But there comes a time when self-restraint ceases to be a virtue. Much as I dislike now to say any- thing for publication I feel that I should take some notice of their most recent screed, even at the risk of jeopardizing the estimate of me by a community in which I am a stranger. “First, 4s to the articles appearing in Sunday’s papers, I have to say that they contain a wiliful and malicious distortion of the truth. The fact is that my home in Denver has been for sale for the past three years. During that period a real estate. firm there, which had the matter In hand, has shown the house to not less than half a dozen persons, who, it was thought, might be possible purchasers. Paid a Big Price. ““These facts were known not only to all the Hughes family, but to many of | my personal friends as’ well. “When in California last July I deter- mined to sell the place at any sacrifice in furtherance of the plans I then agreed | upon with my daughter. Upon my return to Denver I immediately placed the house in the hands of another agent. I selected with great care one I thought could reach the Hugheses. It was no surprise to me to know that Mr. Hughes was the real pur- chaser. On the contrary, I knew it all the time and as a consequence made him pay some $10,000 more than I should have accepted from any one else. Mr. Tyson Dines, in whose name the negotiations | were conducted, is a lawyer and was a | artner of C. J. Hughes. It was well mown to me, as it was known to every | one else, that Mr. Dines was not able to | buy or live in such a house. However, it | was not left to surmise. The agent whom | I employed told me several times that Mr. Hughes was to be the real purchaser. “If Gerald Hughes or his father can | extract any revenge or comfort from buy- ing the property at a price far in excess of what any one else would pay, whicn | had been for sale for three years, it only Indicates they are easily satisfied. Why Hughes Waited. “As it afforded them, however, an op- portunity of sending broadcast through- out the country a baseless and scurrilous article, which appeared in Sunday's pa- pers, it may have ministered somewhat to their vuigar pride. The fact is that the house was sold on August 22, at | which time a part of the consideration was patd. On August 28 deeds conveying | the property were passed and payment made in full. On either of these dates Mr., Gerald Hughes could have indulged in his vain boasting and self-congratula- | tions. But it is characteristic of the man that he should wait until the even- ing of the 3Ist, until within a few min- | utes of the time I was leaving the city, to indulge his self-conceit. Mr. Gefaid Hughes is about the size of a coyote, but the resemblance is made more strik- ing because of the sneaking and cow- | ardly traits common to both. “The idea of being driven out of any | ,(‘ummun“)‘ by such a 30-cent runt i { amusing to any one who knows him. E pecially’ so in_ view of the estimate | placed” upon the Hughes courage, when it is remembered, as it practically is by | every one in Denver, that Mr. C. J. Hughes, the father, crawled at the feet of Hon. T. J. O'Donnell, begging for | merey like a whipped cur. Will Build a New Residence.

But enough of a nauseating subject. ‘There's an cla Spanish proverb that fits the case, ‘It's a waste of lather to shave an ass.’ " It is said that Governor Baxter's view of the matter is the one generally ac- cepted in Denver, where the general opin- ion prevails that Hughes should as a gen- tleman have kept his mouth shut, no mat- ter how badly he imagined himself in- jured. Governor Baxter is a_native of Tennessee and was Governor of Wyoming when life was more strenuous in that sec- tion of the country than is the case at the present time.

He had been taking his meals there and had also. according to Andrew Jaeger, the proprietor, been bor- | rowing small sums of money. He went into the restaurant yesterday afternoon under the influence of liquor and Jaeger asked him for some money. He called Jaeger a liar and struck at him. Jaeger defended himself and Boyd pulle. a re- volver out of his pocket. Jaeger grappled with him and took the revolver from him, beating him on the head with it till he subsided. Boyd was arrested for exhibit- ing a deadly weapon in a rude and threat- ening manner. 5 —_———— Luther Thrasher’s Funeral.

The Tevis and Crocker estates gardens carried off the first prizes in the dahlia show which was held yesterday after- noon at Sherman & Clay Hall under the auspices of the California State Floral Soclety. It was the first dahlia show ever held in this city, and was a revelation to even the most ardent flower lovers. The flow- ers shown were gorgeous in coloring and with petals as dainty as those of the most highly cultured blossoms. The new varieties of the dahlia which were exhib- ited resembled most the chrysanthe- mums of finest quality. In fact garden- ers and cultivators to-day declare that the dahlia is about to supplant the chrys- anthemum in public favor and is des- tined to be the fashionable blossom for some time to come. The most gratifying part of the exhibit to those having the affair in charge was the fact that the handsome blossoms were those of California seedlings. R. Lichtenberg, who showed a -large and pleasing variety of California seedlings, had seeds distributed to visitors. Besides the dahlias there was a splendid exhibit of gladiolus made by Mrs. T. Sachau of San_Lorenzo, and also a beautiful display of Romneya, or wild Mexican pdppy, a dainty blossom with delicate white petals and .rich golden heart, shown by Mrs. E. W. Maslin of Alameda. The judges of the show were: E. Gill of Oakland, Charles Abraham of San Francisco and T. P. Fitzgerald of Mill Valley. The awards made were as follows: General_collection of dahlias—First prize, Willlam Eldred, gardener for Dr. Harry Tevis: second prize, J. W. Bagge, gardener for Prot- estant Orphan Asylum.

Mr. Keyes has always stood high in the estimation of his fellow employes and they have long looked for a fitting op- portunity to give him some testimonial of their appreciation. that a watch would prove accepiable and a beautiful jeweled timepiece was select- ed. The gift came wholly in the nature of a surprise and the ceremony of prasen- tation was the occasion for the display of much humor on the part of all concerned. Assistant Manager . B.
