14 AEPUBLICAN EANI]II]ATQ ARE ACTIVE Kirkpatrick Decides He Will Not Enter the Race. Cannot Neglect His Business Affairs to Serve as Mayor. Stock of Auditor Wells Is Advancing. Politicians Speak of a Slate. Democratic Convention Plans. e Since J'ast Saturday the politiclans *who are particularly interested in the affpirs of the Republican local convention Liave been remar kably active. Common political gossip is to the effect that Auditor Asa R. Wells is y"rowing in favor as a candi- date for Mayor. Wells stock advapced immediately ox' the report that Johu C. Kirkpatrick, Harbor Commissioner and manager of the Palace Hotel, would not permit his name to 8o before the conven- tion. It is true td1at Mr. Kirkpatrick has made up his mind to give a negative an- swer to his supporters who have been ad- vising him to enter the race for the nom- ination. To-day he will speak frankly to his supporters and submit his reasons for the negative answer, Discussing the topic last eveming Mr. Kirkpatrick frankly said: “When the suggestion was first made to me that my candidacy would be accept- able to many delegates in the convention and to other citizens and that my nom- ination would reconcile many of the dif- ferences in the party I was extremely gratified. At thai time I promised to con- sider the subject, remarking that my first obligation was 1o the people with whom have long been associated and whose business ingerests I am bound by every sense of loyvaity to guard. I informed my friends that 1 would give them a definite reply by Tuesday of this week, and to- morrow 1 will state to them my reasons for declining to enter the race. Duties of Office Require Time. “I do not say it in a spirit of boasting, but speak of it as an incident, that many Democrats have sald to me that they would gladly support me at the polls pro- vided 1 received the nomination of the Republican convention. Expressions of this kind are certainly gratifying in view of the fact that I am not an old resident of San Francisco and have not sought political advancement. “Going over the ground earefully I reach the conclusion that the duties of the of- fice Mayor demand more time and work than I could give without sacrificing business affairs which I am charged to protect died the subject suf- ficiently I would be obliged to res e position of Harbor Commissior er re elected Mayor of P3N it THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1901.

It is the general jmpression among well informed observers of the local contest | that Mr. Kirkpatrick could win the Re- publican nomination and be elected May- or if he desired to enter the race. It is not settled by any means that Auditor Wells will carry off the first prize in the convention, but his stock has gone up several points since it transpired that Mr. Kirkpatrick would not enter the race. | Last pight there was talk of this slate: Mayor—Asa R.

The committee on platform (General R. H. Warfield chairman) held a long session at the California Hote] last evening. The action of the chairman of the convention, Thomas P.

The platform was County |'strike agitation would not be mentioned | in the resolutions reported by the com- { olution T. church, but the convention will seem in- complete without the familiar and stately figure of the late Right Rev. Henry Ben- jamin Whipple, Bishop of Minnesota. The death of Bishop Whipple is regret- ted by a wide cifcle of men in and out of the church. A man of extraordin; attainments and engaging manners, he was consecratad Bishop when Min- nescta was regarded as an out- post of civilization. The cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis_existed only as frontier villages and the fertile fields as reservations of savage Indians. Consecrated in, 1853, before a mile of raflroad was built in that State, the Bishop has had a large share in its de- velopment. In the early days of his cpis- copate his greatest efforts were expended in the conversion of the Indians. In 1862 the Sioux rose in insurrection against the whites and the northern frontier of the State was crimson in flame and blcod, A war of extermination was waged against the Sioux Indians by Government troops. Bishop Whipple raised his pow- erful voice in behalf of the savages and journeyed to Washington to appeal to President Lincoln on behalf of the sav- ages. His Intercession was successful, and largely through his efforts the meth- ods employed in dealing with the Indians were changed for_the better. In 1865 Bishop Whipple was appointed commissioner to report on the condition BB e e a2 o ) practically agreed upon, but there wiil be another session of the committee Thurs- day afternoon to revise the document and see if instructions touching amendments have been properly carried out. The plar- form is brief. The statement was made last evening by the chairman that the mittee. Democratic Local Convention.

Among the red men he was known as Straight Tongue; the whites have known him as “‘the apostle to the Indians.” He was one of the original members of the Peabody fund, and during the war of the rebellion a member of the Sani- tary Commission. In I870 he was offered the bishopric of the Sandwich Islands, but declined. In 1888 he preached the opening sermon in Westminster Abbey before the Pan-Anglican Synod. He has built a handsome cathedral in Faribault, besides schools for both sexes. Hospitals have been erected in several of the lead- ing cities of the diocese, and in conse- quence of his active labors there is scarcely a hamlet that has no church and rector of his denomination. He has converted most of the Indians and turned them from the warpath to the avocations of peace. His friends in Eng- land are numerous. In the Anglican church he was considered a most accom- plished and persuasive preacher. Among his own people Bishop Whipple was regarded with superlative venera- tion. An intimate friend of Archbishop Ireland, the two prelates were often united in measures looking to the public good. In Minnesota the loss of Bishop Whip- ple will be felt among all classes of peo- ple, but in his own church, deprived of his counsel and example, the passing of one so greatly loved and honored will cast a deep gloom. Bishop Whipple has been succeeded by the Right Rev. Samuel Cook Edsall, who has lately been translated from the Dio- cese of North Dakota to become Coadju- tor Bishop of Minnesota. mittee of the city and county of San Francisco hereby expresses its sincere sorrow for the un- timely death of the President, and extends its sympathy to the bereaved widow. FATHER SHAHAN LECTURES ON CATHEDRAL BUILDING To-Night He Will Speak on “Cru- sades,” and General James F. Smith Will Preside. “Building of the Cathedrals of Europe" was the subject of the lecture delivered last evening by the Rev. Father Shahan at Metropolitan Temple under the aus- pices of the Catholic Truth Soclety. The distinguished divine held the inter- est of a large audiénce for two hours, in which he described the sweeping away of the temples of paganism and the estab- lishment of the edifices of Christianity. He detailed the expansion of the small places of Christian worship into the mag- nificent cathedrals of the Catholic church, and explained the different kinds of archi- tecture in the past centuries. Father Shahan minutely described the artistic | features of the Romanesque and Gothic styles of building, and how the cathedrals became the center of activity. To indi- vidual help the cathedrals owed their ex- istence, the people adding to the generous Father Shahan paid a tribute to the workmen who erected the sacred edifices, and said that the erection of them stimu- lated all the arts. This evening Father Shahan will lecture on the “Crusades” at Metropolitan Tem- ple, and General James F. Smith will pre- side and deliver a short address. e e DRUNKEN SAILOR TEARS DOWN MOURNING CRAPE Thomas R. Hamlilton, fireman in the engine room of the Appraisers’ building, saw a sailor yesterday afternoon tearing down the black crape festooned above the Jackson-street entrance. Hamilton took him into custody and downstairs to the engine room to interrogate him, but the sailor, exclaiming ““To h— with McKin- ley,” made a show of fighting, and Hamil- ton subdued him by knocking him down with a chair. Secret Service Agent Hazen was sent for and questioned the sailor, who appeared to be stupidly drunk or daft. All that the fellow would say was that he had caught hold of the crape and that the ter what kind of shoes you have hitherto had, if you will try on a pair of our $3.50 shoes (which we keep in patent leather and all mate- rials, sizes and widths), note the in- comparable effect of our latest exclu- sive styles and experience the pleasant sensation of wearing one of our finely built, perfectly fitting shoes, you will hereafter wear our shoes exclusively. Trial tests merit. We are ready to abide by the result of your trial. whole decorations came down. Mr. Hazen took him to the City Prison and preferred | & charge of malicious mischief against m. At the prison the sailor said that he was a Swedg, 47 vears old, a seafaring man, and that his name was Emil Johan- sen. ' He had been observed loitering about the corridor of the Appraisers’ building in front of the Shipping Commissioner’s office for the past three or four days. —_— e Suit for Property Commenced. Action was commenced yesterday by Jesse G. Millsap, husband of the late Jane F. Millsap, against William McKee {to have a certain deed of conveyance declared void. Millsap charges that at the time the conveyance was made by his wife she was not of sound and dis- posing mind, and that the document was of First Shot at Oakland. —_— Smart Ones Overlook Sug- den and He Wins—The Trot Postponed. . —— The track at Oakland yesterday was in no condition for the harness horses, and the 2:14 trot was postponed until this aft- ernoon. The usual crowd crossed the bay and six running events were decided, first choices in the betting capturing three. J. Ransch rode in excellent form, finishing first on Quadra, Eonic and Galanthus. At the very commencement the sharp- shooters made a botch of target practice, getting aboard First Shot at 8 to 2 and seeing Fine Shot win almost easily at 6 to 1. Burlingame nad the mount on the lat- ter, and shaking off the mud at the start ‘was never caught. Ruiz on the favorite did beat Cousin Carrie for the place. As they looked pretty &venly matched the books laid 6 to 5 and take your pick in the betting on the flve-furlong scram- ble for two-year-olds. Quadra took to the going like a hobo to the brakebeam, win- ning all the way. It was quite as easy for Botany to down Arthur Ray for place honors. Bookmaker Caesar Young's fllly Eonic went to the post a 1 to 3 chance for the third number, a six-furlong dash. Ransch rated along in third position with her to the stretch before ~making his move. Then mowing Huachuca and slul of Tar- sus down at lelsure the favorite disposed of the first named colt by less than a length. McDermott on Mike Strauss made sad work of it. Owing to the condition of the track the four-cornered race between Meehanus, Rey Dare, Sir Hnmgton and Sir Dougal was declared off, and a six-furlong affair substituted. Flamero fell into a very cheap set, and at odds of 3 to 56 won as he lan.:ed‘t Estado took second place from orrien nsch astride Galanthus clearly outfin- ished Hoar on the even money favorite Lizzella for the mile selling run. At the start Ransch lost no time in getting to the front and making better use of his mount in the sail home got the decision by a long head. Hoar, who rode Lizzella, ave promise of being a very clever rider, ut his head outgrew all of his old head coverings. This has interfered with his rogress. Mike Rice ran a fair third. he winner was 2 to 1 in the betting. Not many days ago Sugden was backed off the boards by the shrewd ones and ran away with his rider. Yesterday in the speculating on the closing chapter he was almost overlooked in tae scramble to get the checks down on Duckoy. The latter never looked a contender, and under ITke Tullett’s good handling Sugden got up in time to beat Clarando a head on the wire. Nullah ran third. Summary.

The Supreme Court decided yesterday that documents may be filed in public offices at any time on days not forbidden by law, regardless of the hours regularly set apart for the transaction of official business. The subject was intrducéd by a man named Stark from Santa Clara County, who was involved in legal difficulties by reason of failure to file certain papers on a specified day. He arrived at the Coun- ty Clerk's office after closing time, and after hunting up a deputy delivered the documents to him. The deputy did not, | however, make the necessary entries until the following morning, and _hence the court held that the papers were not filed on the day in question, It was stated by the court in closin, that had the deputy followed the usua! course of procedure the transaction would have been perfectly legitimate, as regular hours do not necessarily constitute a legal day in public offi e Collins Not to Blame.

It is now generally known that Hays' resignation was hur- ried by the Huntington cliqie of this city, which could not tolerate his too rapid re- forms and lightning changes in the per- sonnel of the staff. Charles M. Hays was appointed to the responsible position he now wishes to give up by the Speyer interests. That the con- trol of the road passed into the hands of Harriman in a few weeks s well known. The moment that Harriman took posses- sion President Hays was one of the first sent for to appear before Harriman and give an account of his stewardship. He made quite an impression with Harriman and was told to “go way tack” and held his position. He was led to Infer that his word was law and that he would be sus- taired in all his orders. President Hays returned to this city and made new rules and chsnges that he thought were of benefit tc the Southern Pacific. Among the changes was the dise missal of Colonel “Jack” Wright and the appointment of J. M. Herbert as manager in Fillmore's place. Wright, who was su- perintendent of the Sacrariento division, did_not believe in giving up his position without a good fight, and it is sald that he kept the wires warm asking H. E. Huntington to intercede with Harriman on his behalf. The Huntirgton influence was not strong enough to save Wright, but he was told that he would not lose anything by “taking his medicine,” and it is now generaily known that he will soon hold a responsible position in the “big yellow building." Fillmore also fell back o1 H. E. Hunt- ington when he was removed. The liquor | men of this city worked tke wires trying to get Harriman to revoke the order re- moving the saloons on the ferry-boats, sion of time. All these wir: pullings wers distasteful to President Hays. He packed his things, went to New Ycrk and wanted to know if he was president or not. Har- riman’s answer was not satisfactory te Hays and the raflroad president promptly handed in his resignation. A sample of the feeling in the “big yel« low building” toward Hays is very ap- parent just at present. He Is ceptainly a dead issue, judging from the altions of other officials. When President Hays firs: arrived in this city visitors to the railroad bullding were confronted with cabinet bust portraits of Hays In ¢very office and corner of the building. The¢se photos have all disanpeared and now photos of the late C. Huntington, handsomely framed, are placed in their stead. Accused of Steuling.
