14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY OCTOBER 1 STRIKERS ASSAULT A NON-UNION TEAMSTER AND TWO OF THEM ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED Shasta County Revolver When Assailants Seize Him—Machinists Work for a Day and . Aga in When Concession Is Refused— 3 — HERE were ments in the machinists’ strike yesterday, and for a time it seemed victory would perch on | the banners of the employers. Some thirty-five machinists returned to work after having accepted, so the em- ployers assert, the old ten-hour schedule, | but during the day the pickets got in their work and at 5 o’'clock last evening, ter working nine hours, the greater | number of the men ceased operati with the announcement that they would | not return again until the demands of | the strikers outlined on May 20 had been granted The shop particularly interested in this ultimatum is the National Iron Works, conducted by Messrs. Marshutz & Can- trell at Howard and Main streets. On May 20 when the strike was declared this firm Jost some forty employes and that time its operations were alm completely at a standstill. The firm de- clined persistently to grant hour day with ten hours’ Thursday the executive committee of the Machinists’ Union called upon Mr. Can- | trell and after a conference the agree- ment was reached that the ten-hour ruie would be temporarily maintained, the men agreeing to stand by the old sched ule. The firm was at no time unwilling 10 recognize the nine-hour rule, provided pay for nine hours’ work was accepted This proposition was distasteful to the leaders of the striking machinists, but some of the men themselves secretly favored the plan n_consequence of the ed at with Mr. C important develop- ‘ Last pay. agreement ar- rell, fifteen ma- lacksm! and two mold- the foundry at 7 o’clock ben fully one hundred striki were on hand.

In these | instances the returning machinists were | not so easy of access by the pickets, the result being that the men were not inter- fered with. These men worked the full | ten hours, sccording to the old schedule, | and when they quit work it was the un- derstanding that they would return this morning. Some of the men remained in the work: where the company maintains house, and even if the others do not return those now in the works are certain to remain. No Concessions Made. E. G. Cantrell of the National Foundry made the following statement last night: When the machinists returned to work to-day it was with the distinct understanding that they were to work ten hours. Their failure to do so wes a violation of that agreement. While we have opposed the demands of the strikers we have at no time resisted the nine-hour plan, provided pay for nine hours only should be the yule. When the men went back we believed the strike was practically settling itself, but | we mever intended it to be understood that we were making any concessions to the men. I am confident that the men would never have re- Tused to work more than nine hours had it not been for the presence of the pickets cutside the works. The men feared violence and were com- pelled to take the step they did. We will hold out to the last. I am sorry for the men, many of whom are now in destitute circumstances. They want to work but dare not. That is the 4 ful condition of affairs in this city at the present time. At the office of Business Agent Wisler of thye Machinists’ Union it was asserted in the afternoon that the National Iron Works' managers had agreed to the nine- hour @z¥ at a rate of wages that was “satisfac'tory to the men and to the com- mittee.” ! ES EVERAL union teamsters made an | attack on a non-union driver shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Seventh and Minna streets, and a fusillade of shots | was fired with disastrous results to two of | the attacking party—Chris and John | Ryan. Chris Ryan is lying in St. Mary’s Hos- | pital suffering from a bullet wound in the groin, while his brother John is at the same hospital with a bullet wound| through his thigh. The surgeons say both men will live, although their wounds are very serious. The man who did the shooting is E. W. Gentry, a_driver in the employ of the ‘Western Transfer and Storage Company. He surrendered himself to the police after the shooting and was permitted to g0 on his way by order of the Chief of | Police. The Ryans reside at 143 San Carlos avenue, and Chris is a married man and the father of one child. Before the strike he drove a team for Schussler Bros., but his brother had been out of employment for some time. The teamster who did the shooting came here recetly from Keswick. He had been forced out of employment by _strikers going to the mining camp and offering to wock for fess money #han he was et paid. to this city and secured work as a_team- | ster. Yesterday afternoon he was driving up Seventh street .when his team got stalled. G. F.

The men who followed me up the street from the truck I recognized as being men I had seen in the crowd when I was trylng to get the team out. When they fol- lowed me up_the street they called me a “scab,”” but I did not pay any attention to them; nor did I pay any attentlon to them when’ they abused me while I was trylng to get the team out. I thought I could get the team out without having ~any trouble with them. When the gang grabbed me on the cross- ing they tried to drag me into the alley oft the main street. I have a widowed mother and three sisters whom I have to support. I was engaged to drive team here by the Independent Employ- ment Bureau on California street. I wrote to them about getting work and they replied that they would put me to work driving team if I would come down. RIOTERS IDENTIFIED. Ringleaders in Sunday Morning Shooting Affray to Be Prosecuted. Any doubt as to the guilt of Smith, Tate, Duggan and Johnson, the “inoffen- sive citizens,” who were arrested Sunday morning for participating in the riot at Market and Kearny streets, was dispelled last night when the four strikers were positively identified as being the ring- leaders of the mob. In addition to being identified by the four special officers whom they tried to murder, Police Officer A — | | i | | B B NON-UNION TEAMSTER SERIOUSLY WOUNDS TWO OF A GANE@ OF STRIKERS AND STRIKE SYMPATHIZERS WHO FOLLOW AND AS- SAULT HIM WHILE POLICEMAN IS GUARDING THE TRUCK. | horses to help him out of his predicament. Gentry went to a saloon at Seventh and Minna streets to telephone, and as soon as he left the place he was attacked by several men. The attacking party pinioned his arms and proceeded to.beat m. In some way Gentry got his right arm free and grasped his pistol, which was in a holster hanging to his left sid He fired immediately, the first shot plo ing through the shoulder of Chris Ryan's coat and setting the cloth on fire. The second shot entered his groin. John Ryan, who was with his brother, received a bullet in the thigh. Gentry fired all the cartridges in his revolver and a house wall at Seventh and Minna streets shows the course of those bullets that did not penetrate the bodies of the Ryans. A The Ryans say they were perfectly innocent of any intention to harm Gentry, According to their story they happened upon the street by accident and were un- fortunate enough to reach Minna street when Gentry was having some _trouble with a few boys. Gentry tells a different story and identifies the men he wounded as the men who attacked him. Statement Made to Police. Gentry made the following statement to the police last night: My name is Ernest W. Gentry. My home is in Taylor, Shasta County, California. I came to San Francisco on September 13, 1901. I have been stopping at the International Hotel on Kearny, street and later at the Osborn House on Kearny street. I have been advised to re- turn to the International Hotel, and I think I will do so. I am employed as a driver for the Western Transfer and Storage Company. I am & non-union man, This afternoon I was driving my team from the Santa Fe depot to a store up on Market street. (By Policeman Livingston:: The store of Quadt, on Market street, above Larkin.) .1 got stalled at Howard and Seventh streets and the special policeman who was with me ad- vised ma to telephone to the head office for a team. A crowd collected around the truck and 1 went up the street to telephone. I went up Seventh street to between Mission and Market. 1 could have gome into a place nearer the truck, -but I thought the keepers of the places 80 near the truck would not let me telephone, Between Mission and Market I went into a store and telephoned. Four or five fellows fol- lowed me up the street from the truck, and they were standing at the door of the store when I came out. I then walked a few doors further and went into a saloon and had a drink, thinking I could get rid of them. Two of them followed me into the saloon, and they had a drink. When I left the saloon I walked down the street toward my truck and the same five fellows followed me. "I had walked about one block and was crossing an alley when the fellows closed up around me on the sides and at my back and one of them said: ‘“Grab him now.” They then grabbed my arms and tried to get me by the back. While I was swinging and struggling with them I pulled my six- shooter and =ald that if they did nét turn me loose I would shoot. They would not let go of me. I managed to get ‘my six-shooter around to what I thought was the right place anfl then I shot the man on my left. The other two men who had hold of me then let go, and I shot at the man at my back. They then grabbed me and threw me down and tried to beat me. As I was going down I shot another man. I think I hit him in the breast. As I Was getting up I fired the fourth shot, and then they all ran away. I then ran down to Mission street and got on the car and rode out to the Seventeenth-street police station, where 1 told the officer in charge what had happened. The officer telephoned and learned that some officers had already n_sent to the place. He then advised me to go back on the Howard- street car. I did so, and when I got back to where my team was I had police protection and pulled my team out with the aid of a team Which had been sent from the head office. Then I came on home. Before the shooting, and while I was trying -+ Tillman recognized them as the men who were seen hanging around the Thalia on the night of the trouble, inciting their fellow strikers to wreak vengeance on the quartet of Curtin’s men. Shortly after 7 o’clock last night the imprisoned strikers were taken from their cells and lined up with several ‘‘trusties’” who were dressed as laborers. The four specials were then escorted to the prison and told to pick out the men who were responsible for the riot. Special Officer Bogan, without a moment's hesi- toncy, pointed to Johnson, Duggan and Tete as the men who took part in the at- tack on him and his companions. Special Officer L. A. Decote positively identified Tate and Johnson, and Special Officer Grandall had no trouble in picking out Duggan, who, he declared, was one of the most aggressive of the mob. The identification was made complete when W. ¥. Rawlins, a sallor who was with the speclals when they were fired on, picked out the four strikers. To-day Captain Seymour intends to charge them with rioting, under sections 401 and 405 of the Penal Code, which makes it an indictable misdemeanor, punishable by two years’ imprisonment in the County Jall or a fine of $§2000, or both. Johnson was, on May 6, 1895, sentenced to six months in the County Jail for petty larceny. April 19, 1898, he got six months for misdemeanor embezzlement, and De- cember 9, the same Year, he got six months for petty larceny. June 12, 1800, urder the name of John Brady he got forty days for petty larceny. January 10, this year, he got sixty days for petty lar- ceny, and April 15 he got six months for patty larceny, both under the name of rady. ‘He was released from the County Jail on September 9. Captaln Wittman yesterday preferred charges before the Police Commissioners against Samuel Caldwell, the hackman who refused to drive a mnon-union wounded man to the Emergency Hospital when requested to do so by the captain at the time of the riot. The case will come before the Commissioners to-night and Caldwell will probably lose his license. e SAILORS BEAT CURTIN. Victim of Dynamite OQutrage Again Suffers at Strikers’ Hands. John Curtin, the sailor boarding-house keeper whose place of business was blown up with dynamite during the sallors’ strike of seven years ago, was last night injured in an altercation with union sail- ors. A laceration of the scalp was stitched up at the Harbor Hospital by Dr. Diggins. The violence committee had a little splutter of life yesterday. Three men on_their way uptown from Oakland were pulled off a Castro-street car about 5:30 p. m. They were surrounded by about twenty strikers, but managed to break away after receiving a few contusions. George Brown, a painter, attacked Young Pow, a Chinese in business in_Oakland, at Market and BEast streets. Policemen Edner and Hightower rescued the €hinese and arrested Brown, who claimed that the g{iental had taken his job away from m. H. Castagnino, who lives at 527 Bay street, Oakland, also received some atten- “tion from the water-front reception com- mittee. His lacerated scalp was stitched up at the Harbor Hospital. —_———————— Your medicine chest is incomblete if it s not stocked with Jesse Moore “AA" Whiskey.* Man, Driven to City by Influx of San Francisco Union Laborers, Uses Quit N its efforts to fasten the responsi- | bility for the riot at Kearny and Market streets Sunday mormng upon the special policemen engaged, the Examiner has not disdained to misquote and falsify, and the Rev. Poter C. Yorke, relylng upon information fur- nished by that paper, makes assertlons equally at variance .with the facts. In his letter to the Examiner yester- day, Father Yorke comments upon shooting of Sunday morning and after re- ferring to the appearance at the Thalia of the special policemen engaged in that affair he says: ‘What happened last might? The epecial policemen who are empowered to preserve law and order in San Francisco got so violent and intolerable in the Thalla that the proprietor was compelled to telephone for the police. Did the police come? No; the police were too busy chasing ghosts on the water front. Did the specials leave? They did; they left full of whisky and fight. This statement, which is reinforced by another in the same issue of the Exam- iner in which it is made to appear thit the special policemen flourished revolvers in the faces of patrons of the Thalia, i3 denied by Joseph Schwartz, proprietor of the Thalla, as being false In every detail. Mr. Schwartz made the following state- ment to a Call reporter last night: The published report that the specials were violent and unruly in my house on Saturday night is absolutely false. They disturbed no one, No attempt was made to display a pistol nor did they utter a single word to the dozens of strikers who wers in the place. My atten- tion was called to a remark made by one of the strikers, which was to the effect that the strikers intended to do the specials up. Fear- ing they intended to assault the specials in the house, I made preparations for the event by warning my waiters to look out for trouble. The specials left the place about five minutes to 1 o'clock, and were followéd by the entire gathering of strikers, which at that time.num- bered not less than 100. The specials left with- out saying a word to any one. I can get fifty witnesses to swear to the truth of this state ment. Garbles an Interview. In its reference to the shooting affray the Examiner quotes Leon Cohen of 790 Bush street as saying that the firing was begun by the special police who were on the east side of Kearny street, while the pursuing strikers were on the west side. Mr. Cohen is made to say: I was on_the west side of Kearny street, near Unfon Square avenue. I saw half a dozen men on the opposite side of the street. Just then another group came out of the avenue. As these men came on to Kearny street one of the crowd across the way said: ‘‘There they are; now let them have fit.” A shot followed the words and the next instant a dozen men were' firing at each other, I am positive the men on the east side of Kearny street fired the first shot. Mr. Coben indignantly denies the truth of the spublished report of the affair as far as he is concerned. He said last night: I did not mike the statement attributed to me by the Examiner reporter. I am positive the specials did not fire the first shot. I was on the right side of the street where the strik- ers were gathered, and I know the shooting did not begin on the east side. The Examiner, for purposés of Its own, has deliberately falsi- fled my statements, and I to-day sent a letter protesting against being placed in a false posi- tion. The letter addressed to the Examincr by Mr. Cohen is as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 1901 To the Editor of the Examiner: [ most em- phatically deny the statement published in the Examiner relative to the shooting affray which occurred on Kearny street Sunday morning. I did not make the remarks attributed to me by the Examiner reporter, swho misquoted every remark made by me on that occasion. Yours truly, LEON COHEN. e J T Says He Stole to Get Food. Harry Howell, who says he is a striking machinist and that he formerly worked for the Joshua Hendy Machine Works, was arrested yesterday morning by Police- man Sylvester and booked at the City Prison on a charge of petty larceny. He stole a telescope basket from a second- hand store on Mission street near Fourth. He told the officer that he wanted to get money to buy food. Arions Entertain. The Verein Arion gave its initial per- formance of the winter season at Union- square Hall, Sunday night, and epter-- tained a large and appreciative audience. The programmse contained an overture by the orchestra, selections by the Verein Arion, a pretty alto duet sung by Miss Juliet Levy and Miss Ernestine Goldman and a well-rendered piano solo. The conclusion consisted of a roaring one-act farce, entitled “Das Fest der Handwerker,”” which kept the audience in a continual roar of laughter. The male characters, mainly grotesque, were well sustained by George C. Beauchamp, Franz Goldstein, Hans Veroni, Carl Kahler, L. Warnke and Dr. H. Bech.

ANGRY AT JOE WALGOTT Claims the Black Boxer Is Filled With Duplicity. Tom O’Rourke, the erstwhile manager of Joe Walcott, the colored pugilist, is very wroth against the Herget brothers for alienating the interests 0f the colored | boxer to themselves. He claims that| “Young Mitchell”—John Herget—and his brother have acted ‘‘unprofessionally” in | the matter and talks about evening scores. O’'Rourke says he is jubilant that he came out here before the fight, as the visit opened his eyes to Walcott's du- plicity. He knew that Walcott was gping to give him the cold shoulder, he says, anc he was so angry on the night of the contest that he wanted to go behind Gardner, just for the pleasure of seeing | the black man worsted in the fight. After the battle O'Rourke devoted his | attention to the money the colored man | received for winning. Walcott owed him nearly $1300 on a mortgage and for per- scnal loans and he was determined to col- lect the amount. On Sunday night O'Rourke went to Mitchell's saloon and made such a protest that Walcott and the Hergets turned over to him the sum of $1270. This sum was deposited in Charley Newman's until yesterday afternoon, wkhen it was placed in a bank. “I thought the Hergets were my frinds,” said O'Rourke yesterday. ‘‘Their actions prove that they are not. They are wel- come to Walcott. Mark my words he will prove a stumbling block in their path and a thorn in their sides. 1 was the only man who could handle: him and get any results out of him. He owes monev to everybody and will owe money to more people before he leaves town.” Walcott yesterday affixed his signature to articles of agreement to fight “Kid” Carter before the Twentieth Century Club on Tuesday- evening, October 15. The wirner of this battle will receive 75 per cent of the gross receipts and the loser 25 per cent. Walcott will start in training | to-day at Frizzes, Larkspur. Carter is at work on_the Wilson rancn, near Bolinas. He was in town two days ago and looked heavier and more rugged. He has been rusticating and stated that he weighed 170 pornds stripped. He will train faithfully for the match and expects to defeat Wai- cott again. Tc-morrow evening the Olympic Club will hold a boxing exhibition in its gym- nesium. Six pairs of boxers will do bat- tle. The contestants are the cleverest am- ateurs on the coast. Handsome trophies will be awarded the victors. STAGE-STRUCK MAIDEN ENCOUNTERS OBSTACLE Thirteen-Year-Old Mary Smith of Sausalito Is Sent to Magdalen Asylum. Little 13-year-old Mary Smith was rude- ly awakened from her dreams of a career on the variety stage by Judge Fritz yes- terday, and sent to complete her educa- tion at the Magdalen Asylum. Until about a month ago the would-be actress lived in Sausalito, but tiring of pastoral life across the bay she resolvea to try her talents in the metropolis and ran away from her fosterparents. Much to her surprise she found that theatrical managers did not appear to take kindly to her and she entered the employ of a tion she became proficient in the care of rooms. Not content with her success she scoured the city’s places of amusement and finally secured a posttion as amateur at the Chutes, where she appeared for two or three successive Thursday nights. From there she went to the Olympla, where_she sung last Friday evening. On Saturday her course was arrested by Sec- retary White of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children, who took charge of her until she was committed. JAMES F. DUNNE SUES FOR AN ACCOUNTING Surviving Partner of Cattle Firm ‘Wants Executors to Settle Accounts. James F. Dunne, surviving partner of the cattle firm of Donnelly, Dunne & Co., filed a suit for an accounting in the Su- perior Court yesterday against T. V. Maxwell and R. L. Barry, executors of the will of the late E. T. Donnelly. Dunne alleges in his complaint that at the time of Donnelly’'s death in April, 1400, the firm of Dunne & Donnelly owned property valued at $200,000, with liabilities amounting to $190,000. He further alleges that the property, if sold, would not realize a sufficient sum to pay the debts. Dunne claims that he has asked the executors for an accounting and that his request was not granted. He therefore asks the court to declare the partnership still in existence and to order that the executors be required to turn over suffi- cient property to pay the debts. The principal item mentioned in the complaint is a loan of $100,000 secured by Dunne from the Hibernia Bank. A large sum is also due A. B. McCreery for the rent of the Los Aguilas ranch. —————— = CAPTAIN GILLIN TO BE RETIRED ON HALF PAY The Commissioners Have Decided to | Pension Him at Their Next Meeting.

HAWAIIAN CHINESE ARE RECELIVED AS CITIZENS Decision Adding Several Thousand Mongolian Voters to American Register Is Handed Down. A decision by the United States Treas- ury Department affecting the status of Chinese born or naturalized in the Ha- waiian Islands before the annexation was handed down yesterday to Port Collector Stratton. It -was in the case of Ti L1 Hong, a merchant, who arrived from Hon- olulu several weeks ago. Ti is a native Chinaman, but became a citizen' of Ha- wall several years ago. On leaving Hono- lulu for this port Ti applied for a certifi- cate to the effect that he was a merchant * and entitled to wisit the United States. The Collector of the Port at Honolulu was of the opinion that Ti, being a natural- ized citizen of Hawall at the time of tha annexation, was therefore a naturalized citizen of the United States, notwith- standing that the naturalization laws of this country extend only to the Cauca- sian and African races. The annexation act provides that all citizens of Hawail at the time of annexation became citizens of the United States. This view of the Collector at the port of Honolulu has been indorsed by the Treasury Department, and Collector Stratton yesterday allowed Ti Li Hong to land as an American citizen. —_——— » Landlord Seeks to Recover Trunks.
