THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1902 NOT SHIELDING THE ASSAGSIN Protection Association Denies Aiding Bartholin, Supposed Slayer of ‘Sweet- heart and Mother Is Not Located. A R CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—The idea that Bartholin, the supposed murderer of his| mother and his sweetheart, is being aided a fraternal society in his escape was | shattered to-night. Bartholin had been | a member of the Mutual Protection As-| sociation, but was expelied July 1. The | officers of the organization emphatically denied that they had had anything to do | with Bertholin, and declared they would | not protect him under any circumstances were he still a member. Thompson, the boarder at the Bartholin house, was again put through the “swea.(-‘! ing” process to-day, but nothing addition- | al was learned from him. He main-| tained that the story told by him when | first arrested was the truth and that he| knew nothing about the crime. The po-| lice do mot credit Thompson's tale and he is still under arrest. At midnight the police declare that they hed not & single reliable clew to the whereabouts of William Bartholin, who is wanted for the kililng of his mother and of Minnie Mitchell During the day Bartholin was reported from the follow- ing places and in nearly every 1nsla.n(i‘e‘ the Jdentification was positive: St. Joseph, | Mich., Kenosha, Wis,, lkhart, Ind., Doris, Ia., Guthrie, O.

ALMSHOUSE INMATES VOTE. Lame, Halt and, Blind Help Gage in Thirty-Ninth. The lame, the halt and blind were im- pressed into the services of Gage in the Sunset end of the Thirty-ninth District. Eddie Graney, once the fire department horseshoer and Democratic boss, was out in the hills doing politics foF Martin Kel- ly.> Graney was out with a double-seated arouche and three other missionaries for Kelly. Over the hills to the poorhouse went the wagon, to return with the city’s wards. The latter were marched to the polls with a ballot in one hand and a dollar in the and so they voted. Some of the men were blind, others were crippled, some were partly paralyzed, others bor- dering on a state of imbecility. But one man’s vote was as good as another’s out in that precinct, and everything went. The Almshouse holds 175 inmates whose names are on the Great Register. Of this yumber 142 were tak®n to the polling place in Graney's wagon or the Almshouse bus. A shanty a block away from the election booth did service as a saloon, and there beer was dispensed. Early in the morn- ing the price of votes was a glass of beer and 25 cents, but the inmates of the poor- house got together and raised the rate to $1. Of course, as soon as the unfortu- nates voted they got no more beer, but Sa T. liam Chisholm Charles H. | many of them received a sufficient dose to send them to their home in a bewildered and bellicose condition. Graney and his cohorts were early on ipal conventions and had things | | | of 554 Folsom street. the field and before 10 o'ctock in the morning they were herding the city's poor into the booth. No chances were taken with the unfortunates, and in some cases they were paid at the door of the beoth. When this was done the police were telephoned for and Sergeant Helms and a posse responded in hot haste. When the police reached the ground no one was found so brave as to make complaint i any of the wrongdoers. Eddie Graney, in the fullness of his sympathetic heart, declared that it would be a shame to arrest “those poor fellows.” So the police returned to the city and the vot- ing ¥rom the Almshouse proceeded with- out further interruption. Billy Hawe, Martin Kelly's son-in-law; Dave Becker, Sam Barman, George Mc- Ginnis and Mike Smith, lately of Nome, cond District. In the polling place at Turk and Polk streets the election laws were entirely disregarded, Democrats be- ing buttonholed within the 100-foot limit and bargains made for their votes. A complaisant policeman, the number 'of whose star is 526, looked on and said nothing. Complaint was made against the policeman and unequivocal orders to attend to his duty were sent to him from the inside office. After that “business’ was done outside of the 100-foot limit. In the Thirty-ninth District, where the carmen of the Sacramento, Jackson, Su- tro, Geary, McAllister and other lines reside, there was considerable talk of the union labo ticket early in the day, but many of the carmen refused to vote the new ticket and stood by the Republican delegates. At 4 o’clock in the afternoon a poll of the district showed the follow- ing vote: Republicans, 1083; Democrats, 43; Union La- bor, 213, e o3 FOUR TICKETS IN FIELD. Twenty-Eighth District a Hotbed of Political Rivalry. The Twenty-eighth District was a hot- bed of political rivalry. There were four tickets in the fleld, the Republican, Mu- tual Alliance, thé Primary League, Union Labor and the Democratic. Martin Kelly had entire charge of the district on the Alliance end, and his cohorts were le- gion. Fire Commissibner Parry mar- shaled the Primary Leaguers, though he voted the Union Labor party ticket. The Union Labor party voters cut quite a fig- ure in the district. As they had no fight on hand, many of them voted the Repub- lican tickets. Some of them joined forces with the Primary League, but probably the greater portion of them cast their votes for the Mutual, Alliance ticket. Rows wers frequent and the district lived up to its reputation of having a lively election day. Early in the day Big Jim Welch, who is employed on the State tug, Markham, mixed up with Matt Lally, a Primary Leaguer. The trouble occurred on Mission street below Third, and for a time it looked if the whole outfit of ri- val poli ns would. become involved. Welch, who is one of Burns’ faction, had some words with Lally over a voter from Brick Dolan’s lodging-house. Welch struck Lally and then they began to make the hair fly. After some aifficulty policemen managed to quiet the belliger- ent politician nd order was restored. Johnnie Greeley, warrant and bond clerk, Dodge’s deputies, had a Democratic ticket in the field. It polled a good vote, con- sidering the fact that the principal inter- | centered in the Republi Precinets 12 an fight. 13 and 15, Pete Kelley, Larry Conlon, Barney Conlon and Billy Harrington, all of whom are pets of Kelly d Dan Burns, looked after the Mutual iance end of it. They were opposed by ncent Bello and Tom Gorman for the Primary League, at the precinct, but in the main the day passed away quite peacefully. In the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth precincts the vdting booth was situated at Mission street. Kelly's supporters claimed these precincts by an verwhelming majority. George Keefe nd Jack Bard handled the Primary League end of the fight and they made a gallant stand against large numbers of Al- liance workers. Harry Meade and William Cole headed the Kelly-Burns forces. The voting booth for the Fifth, Seventh and Eighth precincts was situated in front Nathan Whitcomb and Walter McCauley led the Primary League forces and Tommy Bryant, an ex. Deputy Sheriff, and Ex-Assemblyman Charlie Franklin marshaled the Kelly- Burns crowd. Martin Kelly's precinct stayed with him almost to a man. At least that was the claim his supporters made when the poll- ing place at Beale and Folsom streets closed for the day. This precinct polled one of the largest votes in the district. e LODGING-HOUSE DISTRICT. Heavy Vote Is Polled in Southern Portion of City. Charlle Keneally and the Condon family laid claim to the Twenty-ninth district for the Burns-Kelly ticket when the voting ceased last evening. Jack McNamara and “Speck” Smith, who was once a clever amateur boxer, led the Primary League forces in the district, and they worked tooth and nail to pull their ticket through. Voters in the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth precincts voted in the booth in front of 765 Harrison street. Charlie Keneally and the Condons had personal charge of the electioneering around this booth. No trouble occurred. The Second and Third precincts were merged into one and the polling place was situated at 1014 Mission street. There are many lodging-houses in this neighborhood and the voting was quiet and conserva- tive. Both of the Republican factions claimed these precincts. The Union La- bor party vote was small. Sammy Braunhart had a Democratic ticket in the field which got a few scattering votes. In the upper end of the Twenty-ninth there was little opposition to the Alliance ticket. L e e i B e e 2 e ) LURED TO DEATH BY THEIR GREED Shrewd Angler Uses a Trick That Stirs Capricious Appetite of Black Bass. To predict about black bass with much confidence is unsafe and unwise, says an exchange. That fish has an _ appetite most puzzling in its whims. One thing certain is that selfishness is largely de- veloped in black bass, particularly in big O A well-known sportsman was fishing for plack bass in the St. Lawrence River. He bhad poor sport. At last he got a strike from a small bass. The bass had taken his leader fly. He was reeling in, when suddenly he got an- other strike that made everything hum, and out of the water at least two feet came a good three-pounder. This bass had fast in its jaw the dropper fly next ahead of the fly the small bass was on. After @ hard fight both bass were landed. The angler, encouraged, began to cast again, but a long time without success. Then another small bass took his lower dropper fly. He was reeling the fish in—zip! came a second strike, and, as before, out of the water leaped another big fellow. This one had taken the fly but ahead of that the little bass was on, and that gave the fisherman an idea. He had often noticed in a pool or aquar- fum where large and small black bass were together, that a large bass, after declining i would instantly make a rush for it if a small bass attempted to take it, and would frequently abandon the pursuit of one minnow to go after one & smaller bass was pursuing. It was this selfish greed that had ac- tuated the two big bass he had hooked immediately after hooking the two small cnes. Thus the angler argued, and after landing his second catch of bass he left the small one on the hook, to test the correctness of his theory. The result was that the use of the small one as the imaginary pursuer of that dropper fly aroused the determina- tion of no fewer than ten big bass to cir- cumvent it and gobble that fiy them- selves, much to their own discomfiture and to the satisfaction of the fisherman, who has tried the same ruse many times since with similar results.—Cincinnati En- quirer.

There is or was an army mule a_pen- sioner of the TUnited States—tradition says that army mules are immortal, hence the doubt as to inse. But this mule, Mexique, was ordered to be sold at Mount Vernon Barracks, Alabama, in 1283. He had been at the post a long time and had grown gray in the service, having an honorable record in the Mexi- can War, and the officers at Mount Ver- non asked the quartermaster general to retain him till the end of his days. This application, signed by Willlam A. Kobbe, then an artillery lieutenant, and indorsed by a_ dozen proper military authorities, including General Hancock and General | Sherman, is on record at Washington. How the white mule’s record grew in honor with successive indorsements may be seen from the commanding general's letter: “I have seen that mule and, whether true or false, the soldiers believe it was left at the Big Spring, where Mount Ver- non Barracks now are, at the time Gen- eral Jackson's army camped there, about 1819.20. Tradition says it was once a sor- rel, but now it is white from age. “The gquartermaster’s department will be chargeable with ingratitude if that mule is sold or the care and maintenance of it thrown on the charitable officers of the post. I advise that it be kept in the department, fed and maintained till death. “W. T.

STRONG FPLEA FOR MORE PUBLIC BATH HOUSES Englishmen and Americans Far From Being the Cleanest People on Earth. Readers of English fiction and even of literature less ephemeral cannot fail being | struck by the frequent references to the ‘tub,” as if it were a peculiarly British in- stitution unknown to the rest of mankind, !in which English writers are so fond of indulging. The inference, of course, i3 that the English as a people are cleaner than any other. An atmosphere of self- righteousness envelops the assertion, as a ‘rule, and leaves the average traveler who remembers the steam baths of the Russian peasants; who has seen a Fili- pino patiently go with a small wet cloth over his entire body, In case neither river nor lake is handy; who knows that 99 per cent of the population of Japan does not | retire for the night without previously | undergoing a thorgugh cleansing in hot water—the averagé traveler who recalls all this, and much more besides, must | sometimes be puzzled to account for this strange assumption of a virtue of which {4t has truly been said that it is next to godliness. We, too, as a nation ‘are apt to fall into the same error and vaunt our superior facllities for bathing and point with pride to the princely fortunes amassed in this country by successful plumbers s an evi- dence that our “tubs” are finer and more numerous than those of any other nation. | Indeed, the joke constructed around the | occasional bathtub of Continental Europe and _the gibes accompanying a description | of the ceremonial which is supposed to at- | | tend its use have from time immemorial | | served to replenish the exchequer of, | the newspaper paragrapher. Yet it may’| | be asserted, without the slightest fear of | successful contradiction, that in no civi- | | lized country has less been done by | municipalities or through private agengjes to supply the poor with decent opportuni- ties for maintaining bodily cleanliness than in_ the United States. Public baths are, with few exceptions, unknown in this country.—New York Tribune. —_— | SOUTH AFRICA TO BE ANOTHER AMERICA So Says Lord Kitchener at a Presen- tation Dinner in P London. A dispatch from London yesterday says: Amid tremendous enthusiasm, Lord Kitchener was to-day presented with a | sword of honor, the gift of Cape Town. | Colonel Dimsdale, Lord Mayor of Lon- | don, made the presentation in the course | of a South African dinner, which was at- | | tended by many notable persons. When the enthusiasm had sufficiently subsided | for Lord Kitchener to make himseif heard he modestly returned thanks for | the gift and expressed the confident hope | that in South Africa, at any rate, the | gword would not again be drawn from its | scabbard. Lord Kitchener eulogized Lord | | Milner, the British High Commissioner | | In South Africa, and made a striking ap- peal, based upon his intimatd and per- sonal friendship with and knowledge of the South African Administrator, that he be given the confidence and sympathy of the British nation. Referring to the mineral and agricultural wealth of the new territory, Lord Kitchener said: “You may assure yourselves that you haye nothing less than the makings of a | new America in the Southern hemis- phere.” He sald the question as to who would supply the energy, brains and money re- quired to carry out this great develop- ment was one more for his hearers than for himself, but when, as in South Africa, patriotism was joined to self-interest he was not afraid they would fail to sow the reed and reap the harvest for which he hoped those who, had recemvl‘y been in gau%h Africa had prepared. ashington ost. e — French Origin of English Lions. Although at the time of the union with Ireland the fleur-de-lis ceased to be quar- tered with the arms of England, we can- not altogether eliminate a French origin from our royal standard. Of the three lions of England two are said to have been the badge of the duchy of Normandy before the conqueror adopted them as his English device, while the third, “the golden lion of Aquitaine,” was added by Henry II in right of his wife, Queen Eleanor. In early heraldry the lion pas- sant guardant (as presented in the royal arms) was sometimes called a leopard; hence the folloAving quaint description in the old chronicle of Edward I's banner: “‘On his banner were three leopards * * fierce were they, haughty and cruel, thus placed to signify that, like them, the King is dreadful to his enemies. For his bite is slight to none who inflame his anger, and yet, toward such as seek his friendship or submit to his power, his kindness is soon rekindled.” —_— e Technique of Things Dynastic. Most people, says the London Chronicie, have got the technique of things dynastic at their fingers’ ends this year. Never- theless, our old friend, the heir presump- tive, has again made his incorrect ap- pearance, this time in the current num- ber of the leading illustrated paper. The eldest son of the Prince of Wales is thus called in the underline of a first-page Ii- lustration. The Prince in question is no- body’s heir presumptive; if his heredity is to be mentioned at all he must be called the Heir apparent of the heir apparent. An heir ]‘))resummlve is heir pending the ossible birth of an heir In the direct ine. There is only one person more gen- erally misunderstood than the heir pre- sumptive, and that is the morganatic wife. This irreproachable lady is gen- erally alluded to by English journalists as though her title were a euphemism for some name of much more common kind and as though an alllance with her were not exclusive. ————— Courtesy Desirable on Both Sides. A Chicago street car company has dis- tributed among its employes a pamphlet containing rules as to, how they must treat the patrons of the line. The In- structions ‘apply especially to the con- ductor, and insist upon invariable cour- tesy on his part toward all passengers and a readiness to give information when asked, and prohibits all wordy wars on any disputed point between the conductor and riders. In short, the employe is to be, polite, pleasant, patient and prudent under any and all circumstances. This is all very. well and the Chicago street car company deserves thanks for its attention to the interests of the pub- lic. But it ought to complete its work.
