THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 1902. RACE QUESTION 5 BROUGHT P Gilbert of Kentucky Talks of Prejudice Against Negroes, Says Sentiment on Social Equality Is as Strong in North as in South, ————— INGTON, April 21.—The House | entered upon consideration of the ademy bill. In addition to the items it contains provisions for | isive improvement of the grounds | ildings at West Point. These im- | are to cost $6,500,000, of which ppropriated in the bill. | & the general debate on the mil ademy bill Gilbert of Kentucky pitated a discussion on the race ! sestion. Gilbert took occasion to reply o some remarks recently made by Gil- f Massachusetts, Bromwell of Ohio General Funston, which he thought | *ted upon his State. In the course of | ks Gilbert said that in Ken- | , and, in fact, in all the South, they | d with supreme contempt upon the | equality of the races.

The prejudice against | social equality was as strong in the | North as in the South, he declared, and Ik to the contrary was ‘‘hypocritica nd rot.” Tl's remarks drew a reply from tt of Massachusetts. Gillett said he willing to admit the prejudice egainst the negro in New England. He thought that perhaps there was a greater sical toward the negro e South. But because one man personally felt a prejudice against the negro he did not think he had a right 1o attempt to force them upon others. Bartlett interrupted to ask whether | some time ago Booker T.

CROWDER MAKES REPORT ON CAMP President and Cabinet to Consider British Acts at Chalmette. Boer Agents Allege Facts Show Violation of the Neutrality Lawa. ) Special Dispatch to The Cali. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, April 21.—President Roosevelt and his Cabinet will consider to-morrow the facts in connection with the British camp.at Chalmette, La., as reported by Lieutenant Colonel Crowder, . assistant judge advocate general of the army. The report is a most comprehensive document, covering 300 pages, describ- ing the conduct of the British agents in Louisiana. Colonel Crowder saw the President to-day, and in compliance with | his suggestion made some important ad- ditions to the document. The report will be made public to-morow, simultaneously with the action of the President. In accordance with the request of,the President, the War Department refused to-day to give any idea of theycontents of the report. Lieutenant Colonel Crowder also refused to discuss it. Agents of the Boers, who are deeply in- terested in the army officer’s conclusions, declared this afternoon that the facts as stated in the report show conclusively that there has been a violation of neu- trality. The fact that the report is to be made public so promptly, together with the instructions of the President to Colonel Crowder to make additions to the document, has created the hope among British diplomats, on the other hand, that it has been found that the agents of their Government have acted entirely within the neutrality laws. The Boers say that the effect of the in- vestigation will certainly result in mak- ing the British more circumspect. At the same time they are hopeful to-night that the President will notify the British Gov- | ernment that it is desirable to withdraw the British officers who are engaged in the purchase and transportation of ani- mals to South Africa. Representative Cochrane of Missourl made a speech in.the House to-day in which he argued that it was the bounden duty of the Government to stop the ship- ment of war material to South Africa. He declared that within forty miles of his home there was a British garrison en- | gaged in buying war supplies, and said the existence of a camp near New Or- leans was notorious. NEW ORLEANS, April 21.—The steam-’ | er Tampican cleared to-day with Ameri- can mules for Cape Town. —_— BENICIA-NAPA VALLEY RAILWAY INCORPORATES Its Electric Line to Lakeport Will Be One Hundred Miles in Length.

S. Willard, has given during his present engage- ment contains quite the delight that does his David Garrick, done last night at the Columbia Theater. Pure claptrap, as some of the play s, with a last act that is as stupid as they make them, there are two immortal scenes worth going (walking) miles to see. The plot, it will be remembered, rests on the love of an olden day matinee lassle for the famous play actor—David Garrick. The girl's papa, a rich city man, disap- proves and conceives the\idea of buying up the actor and shipping him to Paris, “Morris” chair chat Hardly a day passes that some customer in- quiring for reclining chairs does not express amazement at the great number of different styles we show. By actual count twenty-five designs are now on display. Prices run from $7.50 to $75.00. The chair pictured above has an oak frame finished golden brown. Cushions are « ersible and covered with velour in attractive co orings. Price $10.00.

Utterly at cross-purposes are the mer- chant and the actor. The merchant has never been inside a playhouse, the actor as much despises the ‘“city,” and the de- licious play of character upon character is irresistibly humorous. r. Barfoot as the merchant, Simon Ingot, was an ex- cellent foll to Mr. Willard's Garrick, his ‘well-assumed, unconscious vulgarity serv- ing to show up the actor's polished and fine art with the happlest dramatic ef- fect. The following s where Ingot's vulgar, rich city friends\ come to dine with him and can’t find anything to talk about is another scene of grace, managed to admiration by Mr. Willard's support. His acting as the tipsy player is a mar- vel of balance, swift transition and nice Ernest Stallard does a very clever sketch as Richard Chivy, and Miss Ellen O’Malley, without much opportu- nity, makes a very pleasing impression. To-night Mr. Willard will be seen in “Tom Pinch,” a dramatization from Dick- ens’ ‘“Martin Chuzzlewit,” that should suit him not a little. California. The Neill company, in “Captain Lettar- blair,” opened its season most success- fully at the California last night. In spite of the inadequate transportation facilities, the house was crowded. The audience was very appreclative and as the old ac- quaintances appeared on the stage they were tendered enthusiastic receptions. The play is a clever little comedy, with the scene lald in England. James Nelill, himself, in the character of a humorous Irish_officer, was quite the favorite. Edythe Chapman, in the role of the hero- ine, also proved very popular. Cliffgrd Dempsey made a veri:' acceptable villain, Frank ificvlcus. John W. Burton and Scott Seaton, in humorous' parts, had no difficulty In creating a plenty of amuse- ment. The rest of the cast furnishes ex- cellent support for the leaders. “Captain Lettarblalr’ 4s funny enough and well rendered to have the best kind of a run and it will undoubtedly be one of the greatest attractions of the week. Alcazar. “The Two Escutcheons,” a comedy, was presented at the Alcazar Theater last night to a crowded house. It scored a pronounced success. Honors were about evenly divided between George Osbourne as the millionaire pork-packer of Chica- go and Howard Scott as the German Bar- on, proud of his ancestry. M. L. Alsop as Captain von Vinck, and Henry Shu- meras, the Baron’s son, were effective and convincing. Marion Convere made a fascinating widow, and Oza Waldrop was clever and interesting as)the pork- packer’s daughter. Lillian Ellibtt did ex- cellent work as the Baroness, and the other parts were well sustalned. Grand Opera-house. Age cannot wither nor custom stale the popularity of Sardou as interpreted by Melbourne MacDowell and ~ Florence Stone. “The Empress Theodora” was the attraction last night, and it drew an over- flowing house, for this is a drama strong in scenic effect and emotional passages, there being in the cast two live lions, Nero and Jung, loaned for the production of “Theodora’” by the Chutes manage- ment. This is ihe last week of Mac- Dowell and Stone. “Theodora” will be repeated this evening. To-morrow night “Fedora’ will be given, on Thundai:‘ mat- inee and evening '‘Gismonde,” on Friday and Saturday evenngs and Saturday mat- inee “‘Cleopatra” and on Sunday matinee and Sunday evening “La Tosca.” ST [ 2 Orpheum. There are no poor turns at the Orpheum this week. Every member {s a top- notcher. The show opens with the Petch- ing brothers, two clever musicians. They are followed by Bank and Winona Win- ters, who are clever conversationists and’ dancers. The elght girls comprising the pony ballet still dance and sing clevers 1y, and the skit, “Why Walker Reform- ed,” by the Nobles, but adds luster to a fine programme. Susie Fisher is proba- bly the best girl barytone ever heard here, The three Mortons present new features this week, which, If possible, are funnier than_those presented by them last week.

Tivoli. The Tivoli is still pleasing large audi- ences ‘with “The Fortune Teller,” which contains enough tuneful airs for half a dozen operas. Miss Anna Lichter easily carries off the honors with her delightful singing and her clever acting. Miss Annfe Myers has but little to do, but she does that little well. Ferris Hartman has Wranched out as a German comedian and is ably assisted in the funmaking by Ed- ward Webb and Harry Cashman. Hart- man’s topical song is a Dig success and his verse about the strike created a fu- ror last night. Harold Gordon and Ar- thur Cunningham do full justice with their fine voices to the exacting require- ments of thelr respective parts and the chorus and ensemble work is done in the admirable manner for which this popular playhouse is noted. Fischer’s. The sensational success of the merry burlesque “Fiddle Dee Dee” was not af- fected last evening by the tie-up of the street car lines, for very seat In Fischer's Theater was sold before the curtain went up on the performance that commenced the third week of the attraction. There Were many new songs and dances introduced, and it has been many years since theatergoers have seen such a laugh- making production as “Fiddle Dee Dee." The travesty on. the “Florodora” sextet went like a whirlwind, and flve encores were demanded by the audience, Central. A “Child of Fortune” was the bill last night at the Central Theater. It was most effectively produced and served as a means of introducing a number of spe- cialties. Georgle Cooper sang “My Lady Hottentot,” and was enthusiastically en- cored. Miss Myrtle Dingwall of Los An- geles, who is known as the juvenile An- na Held, gave the “Fan Song” and the “Gayety Dance,” made famous by her prototype. George Webster and Anneite Marshall have the herolc roles, while lit- tle Norman Phillips, a clever youth, en- acted the title role.’ All the rest of the cast sustained their parts with the usual cleverness displayed by the Central The- ater stock company. MARE ISLAND DESERTER KILLS COLORED WOMAN Claims That She Attacked Him With a Ragzor and That He Struck Her in Self-Defense. VALLEJO, April 21.—Jullus Thurston, a marine, attached to the Mare Island bar- racks, while on guard duty on Saturday night at 9 o'clock, deserted his post and crossed over to Vallejo in a small boat. After visiting several saloons, he went to a house kept by Rose Jackson, a colored woman, where he fell asleep. Shortly be- fore 12 o’clock she awoke him and ordereq him to leave. Thurston claims she was armed with a_ razor and slashed at him and that in self-defense he struck her twice on the head with a club. A doctor, sum- | moned to attend the injured woman, found ‘it imposible to save her lire, her skull be- ing fractured. Death ensued shortly u{md. Thurston is in prison here. HANA REFUSES FURTHER HONORS Declines Chairmanship of the Congressional Committee. Says That He Is Not Looking tor Any New Political Duties, Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, April 2.—Had Sen- ator Hanna been disposed to assume the additional responsibility he doubtiess now would be chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee as ‘well as chairman “of the Republican Na- tional Committee. In that case it would be Senator Hahna instead of Representa- tive Babcock of Wisconsin, who would have charge of the Congressional cam- paign next fall, but Hanna is not look- ing for new political burdens, being con- tent with his present position as head of the national organization of his army, nor is he pleased with the record the House is making, so the Congressmen must swim wtihout his help. The statements made in this dispatch are upon the authority of a Republican Senator who is a member of the Con- gressional Committee. A few days before the committee organized with Babcock as chairman the Senator in question, after a conference with some of his colieagues on the committee and acting as their rep~ resentative, went to Hanna and asked him if he would consider a proposition of becoming its chairman. . Hanna explained that, although he had the best interests of the party at heart and would do all that could be expected in contributing to party success, he owed it to himself not to take upon himseif any additional burdens at this time. Bab- cock’s re-election was then made unaai- mous. EXPLORER DE WINDT REACHES VERKHOYANSK ‘Writes to a Friend in England That All Members of the Party Are Well. LONDON, April 2L.—Letters were re- ceived here to-day from Harry de Windt, leader of the expedition which is attempt- ing to make its way overland from Paris to New York, dated Verkhoyansk, Siberia, at the end of February. In spite of the forebodings of the officlals at Ya- kutsk, who strongly urged De Windt not to continue his_journey, saying the con- ditions were wdrse this year than ever, the expedition reached Verkhoyansk, 600 miles north of Yakutsk, February 2 The members of the expedition had a ter- rible experience while crossing the Verk- hoyansk Mountains. The cold was in- tense, 63 degrees below zero being regis- tered. All the travelers were frostbitten. Otherwise they were well and in good spirits and were leaving the same day for Zenedne Kolymsk, a town of East Si- beria, 900 miles farther on, which the party hoped to reach about the middle of March. Then it was their intention to push_on 1500 miles to East Cape on Ber- ing Straits. Probably the next news of the expedition will be its arrival in the United States via Bering Straits. De Windt mentions a report that the Baron Tolles expeditoirary ship Seria was stranded on the Siberian Islands; that only seven tons of coal remained on board. CUSTOMS MEN CAPTURE NOTORIOUS SMUGGLER Take Six Chinese From a Boat Tha: Had Brought Them Into Puget Sound. SEATTLE, Aprii 21.—Customs Inspec- tors Brinker and Delaney captured six contraband Chinese and two white men who were bringing them into this country at an early hour this morning. The Chi- nese were pounced_upon while they lay hidden underseath the folds of a canvas in the bottom of a canoe, and the two white men in charge, John Willlams and George Ross, seeing the odds were against them, made a peaceable surren- der. The capture is the most important in local customs circles in some time, as the man giving his name as Williams has been identified as Willlam Stewart, an old-time offender and one of the kingplas in the opium smuggling business on the Sound. he Chinese have been ordered deported. The men started in the canoe from Vancouver, B. C. - Californians in New York. NEW YORK, April 21.—The following Californians are in New York: From San Francisco—A. E. Castle and Mrs. F. L.
