H E SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MARCH 2 2, 1902 ’ HOPES T0 UNITE MINES OF UTAH Quincy, Daily West and Anchor Lodes May Be Combined. W. 8. McCormick Comes With Proposition for. Consolidation. A proposition is on foot to'effect a com- n of the Quincy, Dally West and or mines, which are reported to be three largest and richest silver and | Jead producers of Utah. Although lhei deal has not yet assumed a definite shape, it is expected that it will be consum- mated within the next week. W. 8. Mec- Cormick, representing the Dally West mine at the Palace Hotel. He has traveled all the way from Utah to treat with Keith & Ferrel, the representatives of the Quincy mine, When seen last night McCormick was Joth to say anything about the proposed obination, but he admitted that ‘the that control the mines in | question were considering the advisabil- ity of such a step. He sald that the ob- ject of the combination would be to settle putes that had arisen between | and Daily West companiés, | McCormick stated that if the mines were c corporations not consolidated or*some other - adjust- ment made a legal controversy . would likely ensue. As the mines represent a | lue of several million dollars, a strenu- | effort will be made to prevent them | from becoming embroiled in any.expen- | sive lawsuits, The Quincy, Dally West and Anchor | mines are’ situated at Park City, Utah. | FORMALLY CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER | ou John Cahill Held Responsible for Death of Eugene J. Mc- Carthy. John Cahill, who has been held at the City Prison since the night of March 16, pending an investigation into the death of Eugene J. McCarthy, was formally | charged with manslaughter last night. | The complaint was based on the verdict <f the Coroner’s jury, which found that McCarthy meét his death by being run over by car No. 10 of the Sutter Street Company, at Ninth and Folsom streets, after being knocked down by some party or parties unknown. The testimony showed that Bugene and Dan McCarthy and John Cahill had engaged in a fight, and in view of this the jury decided that Cahill was “‘guilty” of inveoluntary man- slaughter. Dan McCarthy, who was ar- rested at the same time as Cahill, was discharged Some evidence was introduced tending to show that others might have been en- gaged in the fight which ended in Mc- Carthy's death, but there remained con- siderable doubt as to the identity of the man who actually delivered the blow which sent the dead man beneath the car. —————— EUPERVISOR ALPERS IS GAINER IN THE RECOUNT Labor Candidates Continue to Loss Votes and Chances of Success Are Slim. party candidates in the recount continued to lose | vesterday, while Alpers gained in | proportion.

DUNGAN MUST PAY PENALTY Jury Finds Him Guilty on the Charge of | Murder. |Last of Rice’'s Slayers Is | Convicted of Brutal Assassination. After an hour's deliberation the jury in the case of Edward Duncan, charged with complicity in murdering George W. ! Rice, on the night of October 11, returned a verdict last evening finding the defend- ant gullty of murder in the second de- gree. This makes the fourth conviction in this case. 1 of the men accused of the crime were found to be implicated. Rice | was a non-union machinist employed at the Golden State and Miners' Iron Works, 237 First street. On the evening of Octo- Ler 11 he lert his place of employment and boarded a Howard-street car on his way home. According to the theory of the prosecution he was followed by Willlam Buckley, Thomas Moran, Charles Don-, nelly and Edward Duncan, who intended killing him. They boarded the same car, | and when he descended at Twenty-first street fo go to his home they left the car) and struck him down in the street. While | he was prostrate one of the men, clal i to be Buckley, fired five shots Into Rice's | | body, from which he died in a few hours. Buckley was convicted of murder in the first degree and is now awalting sentence. Moran was found gullty of murder in the | first degree, with punishment fixed by the | jury at life imprisonment. Donnelly. llke | Duncan, was convicted of murder in the | second degree with a prior conviction of | felony, The prosecution claimed that Duncan was the man who watched Rice leave the iron works and signaled to the other men that the victim was aboard the car. He | was shown to have been present when | Rice was shot, but claimed to have been <ollecting at a grocery store at Shotwell | and Twenty-first streets when the murder occurred. This testimony was contra- dictéd by the proprietor of the grocery, who sald Duncan had not been at his | place of business that evening. i Duncan expressed himself as confident | cf acquital during the entire trial and seemed not particularly _concerned re- garding his position. = When he first | learned that he was wanted for the crime he gave himself up. F. . WHEELAN LECTURES AT GOLDEN GATE HALL| | Says Bessemer’s Invention Was tle | Greatest Discovery of the Nine- teenth Century. The lecture of the Unity Club, which | will reorganize on April 1, was held at | Golden Gate Hall last night. The lecture was delivered by. F. H. Wheelan. His subject was ‘‘The Greatest Invention of | the Nineteenth Century.” The speaker | explained the rude life of the ancient Ro- | mans and told of the great number of | years that elapsed before the people | awoke to the fact that improvements on | the old ways were a necessity. He then | spoke of the great inventors and their | inventions, ending with an explanation of Bessemer’s method of making hard steel | cheaply. This he called the greatest in- | vention of the nineteenth century. | Mr. Wheelan closed his lecture by say- ing: “Blot out Bessemer's Invention and you would put the world back fifty years. Bessemer's Invention is a benefit to all| humanit; Mr. Wheelan also spoke of the small | percentage of inventions of the other | great countries as compared with those of | the United States.

B PHINTINGS * MAKE THOUBLE A peculiar point in the recent changes in the tariff laws relating to the insular possessions of the United States was de- veloped yvesterday at the Custom-house, when D. A. Socci, an art dealer of Manila, endeavored to secure the release of two mammoth paintings of the battle of Ma- nila, which he brought to this country for exhibition purposes. Soccl shipped the paintings from Manila on March 6. On March 8 the Copgress of the United States passed a special bill taxing certain commodities 20 per cent ad valorem. The pictures came under a par- ticular classification. When Socel shipped them by the regular route of freight from the Philippine Islands to San Francisco be knew nothing of the newly imposed special duty. The plctures, which represent the cap- and are historical representations of the events that then occurred, were shipped to the United States for exhibition pur- oses. r’\Soc::l made his necessary declarations at the Custom-house, but ®he appraisers held them far payment of $3000 duty. The duty was arbitrarily imposed by reason of the declarations made when the pict- ures were shipped to San Francisco. It was necessary for Socci to place a valua- tion on the pictures, and the first figures that came into his head were used. That is_where Socci's troubles com- | menced. He dld not know that on March | 8 a change was made in_the tariff laws. | When he went after arrival to the Cus- tom-house to secure the release of his | pictures he was confronted with the fol- lowing dispatch: WASHINGTON, D. C., March 15, 1902. Collector of Customs, San Francisco: Phil- ippine merchandise which arrived before 8th | inst., enlisted, free entry. = (Signed) 0. L. SPAULDING. Assistant Secretary. | While Socel was on the high seas with ainting the following dispatch was Red from Washington: | WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 12, 1902. Collector Customs, San Francisco, Cal.: Act March 8, 1902, provides that on and after that date the same tonnage taxes shall be levied, collected and paid upon afl forelgn vessels | coming into the United States from the Philip- pine archipelago which are required by law to be levied, collected and pald upon vessels coming into the United States from foreign countries. Take action accordingly. Further ns by m: It CHAMBERLAIN, Commisstoner. Under the instructions received by mall there was nothing left for Socci to do but get his pictures out of the Appraiser’s clutches the best way he could. Walter M. Castle and W. H. Wolf went his sure- | tles for $8100, covering the duties and ex- penses, and it is expected that the paint- ings will be released some time to-day. This merely releases .the paintings on the proposition that they will be returned to lge g’hmpplnes within_six months. In the meanwhile John H. Boden, the Cus- tom-house broker, will take the matter before the General Board of Appraisers of the United ‘States. rece! Bekins Van and Storage Co.
