L SHOWS VIEWS OF GREAT MARTINIQUE DISASTER | B. B. Baumgardt Delivers Instructive } Lecture and Exhibits Thrilling | Pictures of Ruins. “The Martinigue Disaster and the De- struction of St. Pierre” was the subject of a most interesting lecture by B. Baumgardt, secretary of the Southern | California Academy of Sciences, at the | Young Men’s Christian Association audi- torium last evening. The lecture was | fllustrated with seventy-five lantern | views from photographs taken before and | almost immediately after the destruction | of St. Plerre and gave a vivid idea of the terrible devastation of what was only | lately a most delightful and picturesque | spot ! Mr. Baumgardt’s lecture and pictures | proved to be not only interesting but in- | structive. | ———— INJURIES PROVE FATAL.—Willlam Roes- kamp, the driver who was thrown from his wagon at Third and Mission streets Thursday | afternoon, “died st ‘the Emergency Hospital yesterday. 3 The twelve booths will be under the following management: St. Anthony’s, Mrs. Michael C.

For St. Elizabeth's booth Miss Josephine Smith and Miss Mabel Herman are two of the earnest as- sistants of Miss Elizabeth Shea. The general committee is composed of J. J. Dolan, J. J. McNamara, W.

It is included within that portion of the city bounded by the Presidio on the west, Buchanan street on the east, Jackson street on the south and the bay on the nerth. Rev. Martin P. Ryan, pastor of the new parish, was stationed for twelve years at St. Brigid's Church. The bullding of the new church was | commenced on July 1 last. When it is completed it will be a handsome brick structure with a finely decorated interior, lighted with both gas and electricity. It is being built in the Romanesque style of grehitecture, An entertainment and dance in aid of the building fund was given last night at Maennerbund Hall, corner of Twenty- fourth and Potrero avenue.

Charges Eastern Promoter With Obtaining $250 by False Pretenses. BN George H. Proctor, president of the McCloud River Electric Power Company, is in trouble, and as a result of the con- troversy that has arisen, the affairs of that corporation may be aired in court and new and spectacular features added to the records of the exploitation of Western natural resources by Eastern promoters with and without capital be- | hind them. Proctor was arrested yesterday after- noon at the Palace Hotel on a charge of | obtaining money by false pretenses. George W. Eider, the well-known con- | tractor, was the complainant. He al- leges that Proctor secured $250 from him {on the day previous, pretending that he had to have that amount before night to pay an attorney. Elder says he made in- vestigations later and found Proctor's tale to be a fabrication, that no money was paid by him to an attorney, and that | the transaction was only a part of Proc- tor's general scheme of promoting the corporation’s affairs to the end of his personal aggrandizement. ; Proctor was promptly released on bonds of $00. He characterizes Elder's charge as a preposterous one, trumped up as & scheme of revenge for Elder’s failure to secure a large contract from the com- pany. He denles that he ever received $250 from Elder, while Elder claims that he paid Proctor that amount in cash Thursday afternoon. Proctor is the representative of a New | York syndicate that became interested | recently, through California promoters, in the proposed construction of a great power plant on the McCloud River. Proc- tor was made president of the McCloud River Electric Power Company, and was authorized to come to California and ar- range for surveys for development work and the construction of a great dam, and to secure bids for the construction of the works. BONDS FOR THE WORK. Elder and the San Francisco Construc- tion Company, acting in conjunction, put in a bid, which was accepted, for the construction of the dam, at a figure, in round numbers, of half a million dollars. There was a hitch as to whether the entire cost of the work should be paid for in bonds, or a part in cash and the re- mainder in bonds. During the parley on this point, Elder alleges, occurred the negotiations that ended in his advance of $§250 to Proctor and the subsequent prompt disruption of friendly relations and the beginning of hostilities. Elder tells his story as follows: I first met George H. Proctor about two months ago, He then had a scheme to construct a dam on the McCloud River. He was presi- dent of the company and advertised for bids for the construction of the dam. Myeelf and the San Francisco Construction Company were awarded the contract for the construc- tion work which was to cost about half a mill- fon of dollars. I, myself, made two or three trips to the proposed dam site, taking with me an engineer and making considerable prepara- tion for the proposed work. About ten days ago Mr. Proctor returned from New York City bringing with him a large amount of bonds in blank signed by himeelf and the secretary of the McCloud River Power Company. He located himself in elaborate rooms in the Palace Hotel, putting in a special telephone. 1 called there to see him a number of times with regard to the contract, but he always put me off with the excuse that Mr, Schuyler, the engineer in charge, was very busy getting {up final plans and epecifications in Los An- geles. He represented that the directors of the company in the East were Teady to put up the money for the work on the dam. To satisfy myself I sent several dispatches to New York City and I found on investiga- tion that only one director, Robert Gibson, had any rating financially, being rated through Bradstreet at from $175,000 to $200,000. then telegraphed Mr. Gibson, asking him how much he and his assoclates’ would personally guarantee toward the payment upon our con- tract. Gibson replied that he would take a ten- thousand dollar bond at eighty cents during the construction of the dam and was willing to join with any others to underwrite the re- mainder of the half million, but personally he would not take more than $25,000 in bonds. That would only be a very small proportion of the contract. When I confronted Proctor with the proposition of the telegram-from Gib- son he at once proposed that I should deposit $8000 cash in the bank tp his credit and then we should take all the’balance of my pay- ments in bonds which were worth nothing mors | than the paper upon which they were written, | they not being guaranteed or underwritten by jany one. I told him I would take the bonds | In payment providing that the others who held | bonds would underwrite whatever amount was due them for machinery and other things. SAYS PROCTOR WANTED MONEY When I presented this proposition to him Thursday he objected to it but was anxious that I should put up the $5000 for a $10,000 bond st once. I refused to do so until the | other bonds were guaranteed. After consider- { able talk with him he said that perhaps we | could fix the thing all right in the morning, as.a Los Angeles contractor was on the way here who, he claimed, was ready to put up $8000 and take the bond which I had refused to accept. Proctor then became very confidential and informed me that he owed an attorney $250 which he must pay that night, and asked me to accommodate him ‘with that sum. I did so. Afterward I learned that all he had eald was false and that he did not want the money for that purpose. I intend to prosecute Proctor to the finish, and I will do all I can to show him up in his true colors. p Certain members of Proctor's corpora- tion are not pleased with the promoter’s management. It is said that his handling of funds has not met with their approval, and steps will be taken to supplant him as president. . Thomas E. Haven, of Haven & Haven, attorneys for the McCloud River Elec- tric Power Company, gave an interview yesterday _afternoon, . denying Elder's charges. He asserts that Elder agreed that bonds should be accepted in entire payment for work done under the con- tract. Later, he asserts, Elder demanded that changes be made. Haven stated that Proctor's management ‘of the company’s affairs has been above question, —_— YOUNG GIRL IMAGINES SHE IS AN INVALID Pretty Christine Ladd Is Committed to an Insane Asylum at Her Own Request. Miss Christine Ladd, a pretty girl, just out of her teens, is laboring under the hallucination that she is an invalid. She was admitted to the Stockton Insane Asylum yesterday at her own request. To all appearances the girl is in good health. Two months ago Mrs. Ladd and her daughter Christine registered at the Hotel L’Alglon. .As soon as they arrived at the house the girl went to bed and refused to get up. She said that she was an invalld and suffering from some aflment which doctors could not cure. Her mother ad- vised her to go to the asylum. —— el s Claims Sole Right to Impors. A suit for 360,000 damages was filed yes- terday by the American Import Company ‘against the Schloss Crockery Company. It is alleged by the plaintiff corporation that its business has been damaged to that extent by the defendant in importing crockery known as ‘“‘Wupperman ware.” The sole right to import the erockery, it is alleged, rests in the plaintiff. - Gentle ngrl of a tambourine is re- quired to I lnfiu Shah to sleep for his || | afternoon nap. A FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY ANOTHER VOWS TO SLAY SWEETHEART | H. W, Trost Shoots Him- | Pretty Maria Prete Re-|| aiways fresh. self Because Girl Rz- fused Him. : Maud Watkins Weeps, While Father Sternly Says It Is Better So. —_— Henry W. Trost, a messenger boy, 24 years of age, sat down in front of a mir- Tor in a room at 271 O'Farrell street yes- terday morning and shot himself near the heart. He was dead when assistance reached him. The cause of his deed was the refusal of the girl whom he loved to! marry him. The woman whom Trost loved is Maud Watkins, who lives at 502 Bush street, rooming there with another girl. Last Saturday Trost took out & mar- riage license, in which the age of the ‘Watkins girl was given as 19. The two had béen engaged for some time, but when Trost became insistent and went 8o far as to procure a license to marry, the glrl began to aveid him and told him that she did not want to get married. Trost brooded over his disappointment, and the good-natured ‘joshing” of his friends did not make the burden more easy to bear. He bought a cheap re- volver and began planning the deed that at last snuffed out in an instant the life that the boy no longer valued. Maud Watkins is beside herself with grief. She weeps and moans and cries for her “poor Harry.” She says she thought he was only joking about getting married. Meanwhile the boy's heartbroken father, Robert Trost, chokes back his tears and sternly says that it is better for his boy to be dead than married to such a woman, Trost was employed by the California Speclal Messenger Service, 294 O'Farrell street. Thursday night he worked behind the counter from 7 in the evening till 7 o'clock yesterday morning. After he went off duty he began drinking. At 8 o'clock he met an associate, James Feighery, and took him to his room on-the third floor of the lodging-house at 271 O’Farrell street. Feighery was sleepy and went to bed in Trost’s room. Trost went down- stairs and across the street to the mes- senger office and gave away his watch, a diamond ring that Maud Watkins had given him and several trinkets to the boys there. On the street he met Albert Bry- ant and told him he was going to kil himself and warned Bryant not to follow him to his room or he would kill him, too. Trost went to his room, forced the door leading into an adjoining room, sat down on the edge of the bed before the mirror and shot himself. Feighery was awak- ened by the pistol shot and found Trost in his death struggle. The Coroner consented to let the father take charge of the body and it was re- L e R R T ] Smuggled Goods to Be Forfeited. Two suits are being prepared by United States Attorney Woodworth, for the for- felture and sale of certaln goods attempt- ed to be smuggled into this country sev- eral months ago by Mrs. Charles Boetch- er and Miss Nellle McMurtry, both of Denver. The ladies paid fines aggregating $7000 imposed upon them by the Secretary of the Treasury, and for that reason no criminal proceedings were instituted. Explosion of Gas. An accumulation of gas at the corner of Ellis and Powell streets exploded early yesterday morning with sufficlent force to blow the cover off e manhole of the conduit of the Central Light ahd Power Company. The explosion was caused by a leak in one of the large maihs. Tt is supposed that crossed electric wires caused the ignition of the gas. The ex- plosion caused considerable excitement, but no one was injured. OCTOBER 4, 1902. CCUSES POWER | ONE LOVELORN YOUTH KILLS HIMSELF, fuses to Wed Cris- tobal Guerrero. He Creates a Scene in Bond and Warrant Olerk’s, Office. A pathetic scene was witnessed in the ond and warrant clerk's office yesterday, hen Cristobal Guerrero, 22 years of age, leaded with pretty Maria Prete, 17 years | f age, to merry him and put an end to is misery. He declared he could not live ithout her and wanted her to marry him nd go to Mexico with him. The young girl lives at Green and Ma- n stjeets, and Guerrero, who is em- loyed on a steamer plying between here nd Mexico, lives at 310 Montgomery ave- ue. Guerrero has been overpersistent in | is attentions, and had written her let- | rs, she claims, that caused her to be | fraid that he might resort to violence tp compel her to marry him. |'The girl, accompanied .by her mother and Guerrero, called at the bond and warrant clerk’s office yesterday and !he; asked advice as to what she should do to ut a stop to Guerrero’s persecution. She aroduced the last letter Guerrero had ritten her, which was translated by At- terney A. Campbell. In it he wrote: ‘“You must be mine. I will follow you to the ends of the earth, and if needs be I will Walk over your grave and declare you mine.” Guerrero admitted to Bond and Warrant | Clerk Fitzpatrick that he had written‘the lotter, and said his only desire was to get the.girl to marry him. He was | warned that unless he promised to let the | girl alone and go to Mexico without her he would be arrested for sending her threatening letters. He turned to the girl, and .with tears stry ing from his eyes Hegged her to acc to his wish and ac- company him to Mexico. The girl told Him, firmly but kindly, that she was too | joung to think of marriage yet, and fur- | thermore she did not sufficiently care for | m to become his wife. | Guerrero promised not to molest her again, shook her warmly by the hand and walked . sadly. away, followed by the young girl and her mother.

ARGUES CHARTER GLAUSE 15 VOID Question of Concurrent Jurisdiction in Issue. The argument on the motion of At- torney George D. Collins in the case of Dr. Dudley Tait, charged with libel by Dr. Carl W. von Tiedemann, to test the constitutionality of a provision in the charter which gives the Police Court con- current jurisdiction, with the Superior Court in misdemeanor cases not otherwise provided for, which would include crimi- nal lbel, took place yesterday afternoon before Judges Cook, Lawlor and Dunne, sitting in bank. Attorney Collins, in opening the argu- ment, said that Judge Cabaniss, believing that the charter provision gave him the power to sit as a trial Judge, had tried the Tait case and a warrant of arrest had been asked from the Superior Court to establish the question of jurisdiction. He argued that the charter provision was In conflict with the State constitution and was necessarlly inoperative, as it gave concurrent jurisdigtion. So long as sec- tion 5, article 6, of the constitution re- mained in force there could not be con- current jurisdiction. That had been set- tled by the Superior Court in the case of Greene, and the Supreme Court had also decided in another case that prosecution for libel must be based upon an indict- ment or information or by preliminary ex- amination before a committing magis- frate. The provision in the charter was void in so far as it gave concurrent juris- diction to the Superior Court, which it obvigusly could not do, and being vold in that Tespect it was void in all other re- spects. ! Attorney Peter F. Dunne argued that the framers of the charter in using the word *‘concurrent’”” meant it to fill up the gap then existing between high and low misdemeanors so that the Police Court could try all misdemeanors, including those formerly tried exclusively by the Superfor Court. The distinction between these classes of misdemeanors had been abolished by the Supreme Court in the Greene case. He argued at considerable length on these lines. The Judges had interjectd remarks dur- ing the arguments and Judge Lawlor at their conclusion sald he was not satisfied as to the meaning of the word “concur- rent” in the charter provision and sug- gested that counsel should each submit authorities to-day. covering the range of discussion. This was aogreed to and the matter was ordered continued till Mon- day. New Pastor to Take Charge. The Rev. A. C.
