THE TRUSTS Sacramento Grand Jury Hears | Bar Asse ciation Grap- Evidence of Sensational | Character. PR Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Aug. Ii.—Testimony of a most sensational character respecting brought out at to-day’s investigation by the Grand Jury. Under oath guards told of a state of affairs at the prison which startled the Grand Jury and made them more determined than ever to probe deep- ly into the clrcumstances of the recent break at the prison. It had been the de- sire of the Grand Jury to take only the testimony of the guards and not to sub- jeet the higher officials to the inconveni- ence and embarassment of appearing be- fore it for examination. As an upshot of | to-day’s disclosures, however, it was re- | solved to require the presence of Capiain | of the Guard R. J. Murphy. When the jury adjourned to-night it resoived to | meet again on Monday next to enable a subpena to be served on Captain Mur- phy. Several of the witnesses before the jury to-day were guards who either voluntar- ily quit the prison or were discharged therefrom. The jury might have been in- clined to regard their testimony as preju- diced were it not for the fact that most damaging . statements were uttered by ! trusted guards still in the employ of the prison, and who were not what could be called willing witnesses. One of these guards was Charles Gillice, who had charge of the Gatling turret which over- looked the gate from which tneé thirteen | prisoners escaped, shielded .y thelr offi- clal hostages. ORDERED NOT TO SHOOT. Gillice, mot only had the rapid-firing Gatiing at his side, but he was armed | with a repeating rifle, and he testified be- | fore the Grand Jury this afternoon that| twice he had his rifie pointed at the head | of Convict Richard M. Gordon and could | easily have kiled him had he not twice | been ordered by - Warden Wilkinson to | lower his gun. Under oath he assérted | that while Gordon was using Murphy as | a shield Gordon’s head rose at least a| foot above Murphy's head and he could | have killed him without endangering the | Itfe of the captain of the guard. Con- vict Gordon is 6 feet 1 inch in height, while Captain Murphy is rather short of | stature. Gillice sald he finally dropped | his gun from his hands when he was not | expected to use it. | Lieutenant of the Guard Kipp testified | that while the prisoners were escaping a horse guard came riding up to the armory with his gun lifted, ready to balk the ef-| forts of the desperadoes to reach the| storehouse of the arms and explosives. The guard was ordered by his superiors | to throw down his gun and he did so. It} was further testified that there were sev-| eral guards below the station occupied by | Gillice who had their guns pointed at the | apes, but were likewise ordered by the Warden, or the captain of the guard, un-| der his instructions, to lower them. | For weeks it bas been a matter of sheer | wonderment by the public how the con-| victs could have secured possession of the sticks of giant powder with which they threatened to blow up the armory if their orders to the keeper, coincided in by | the Warden, to open it, were not promptly | obeyed. ! CONVICTS GET DYNAMITE. The Grand Jurors were astounded this evening when their questions adduced the | information from the guards that prac-| tically no restraint was placed upon the | convicts who applied for sticks of giant powder, ostensibly for blasting purposes. | The testimony showed that Charles Tay. i lor had charge of the giant powder store- | house, and that when a convict asked Iori glant powder he would give him the key: and tell nim to go in and take what h Tequired. ‘ The jurors also learned from the testi- mony that Taylor would mnot know | whether five or two dozen sticks of the | explosive were taken by the convicts. To | the jurors this testimony seemed to ex- | plein how it was that the convicts were | able to enforce their order to get at the rifies with enough glant powder to blow up not only the armory, but half of the prison as well. Members of the jury have expresfed themselves as confident thal had Captain Murphy been In sole com- mand he would have ordered the guards | to fire at any cost. | The jury would like to make a report | to Governor Pardee upon its findings, but finds it is accountable only to the Su- perior Court. The report on the Folsom Jury immediately after the State Fair season closes, September 12. It is de- clared that the report will very likely charge officlal cowardice as responsible for the memorable prison break. ———— DAUGHTERS GET EQUAL SHARES OF PROPERTY Supreme Court Reaffirms Opinion in Fair Will Case in Settling Macken Estate. Sarah A. McCurdy, Elfen M. Otto and the division of the estate left by James Macken, according to a decision rendered by the Supreme Court yesterday. The testator made a deed “in trust to con- vey” favoring the daughters Ellen and Elizabeth, and this provision is declared Fair will case. Macken and his wife in 1886 executed and delivered a deed to certain valuable real estate into the hands of Thomas B. Bishop on the understanding that on the death of the assignors the property should revert to Ellen and Elizabeth Macken. Mrs. McCurdy, the other daughter, con- tested the valldity of the transaction when the parents had died and the estate was to be divided. The lower court held that all three daughters should share alike and the Su- preme Court affirms this decision. The defendants’ attorneys argued that the fa- mous Fair will trust was not analagous, but the court differs. e DARING THIEF STEALS KEYS TO SAFE FROM SLEEPING MAN Jung Hun, alias F.

Committee’s Report Is Likely to Cauce Serious Dis- sension —_—— Action Is Taken Which Is Regarded as Victory for the Party Con- tending for Full Con- sideration. £ PR T HOT SPRINGS, Va., Aug. 21.—At the morning session of the American Bar As- the annual address was soclation to-da | delivered by Hon. Baron D. Colt of Rhode island, United States Judge of the First Cireutt. Judge Colt's subject was, "“The Reasonableness of the Law. ‘Walter 8. Logan of New York made a verbal report from the committee on commercial law. He commended the na- tional bankrupt law and then dlscussed | He gald it would have | the trust question. to be settled by the lawyers; if they did not, the demagogues would. 1f combina- tions continue competition will ceage and | commercial jurisprudence will eventually | be emtirely changed. The committee, he said, had reached the unanimous conclu- sfon that modern industrial commissions should be stayed. Hon. Charles F. Manderson of Nebraska said the report was calculated to rend the association asunder. He asked that the report be read. There was opposition to the motion and considerable confusion. The convention, however, agreed to hear the report at once. It was fully dis- cussed. On the subject of trusts the report says this is the important question now before the American bar. It says combinations are rapidly driving out of business the small dealers and the small producers. These two clai heretofore have fur- nished the largest number of petitioners in bankruptey courts. But now industrial combinations of sigantic magnitude, too large for a bankruptcy court to manage and too rich to need ever to be called be- fore it, have been substituted. The re- port adds: X “The modern combination's primary ob- ject 1s to control trades and commerce in plain articles of production and substitute a more or less perfect monopoly in place of a more or less free competition. It changes entirely the basic principle of commercial relations between man and man, and, if they are to continue to grow and develop In the future as in the past will renfler nec: most important changes in the principles of our commer- cial laws. Combination, as an economic force, is fast coming to take the piace of competition. The producers are combin- ing, the transportation companies are combining, tradesmen are combining, workmen as well as employers are com- bining; everything seems to be coming into some form of combination and evary- body seems to be a,combiner, The com- | petition that still remains is fast disap- | pearing. Workmen are refusing to com- pete for jobs. Labor unions are enlarging the spheres of their activity and extend- ing their operations. UNION OF EMPLOYERS. “The union of the emplovers is still stronger and more farreaching than the union of the workmen. We are now hav- ing combinations of combinations. The United States Steel Corporation is a com- bination of a dozen theretofore competing producers, - who themselves were com- binations of still other producers, and these in turn often combinations of still others. To trace them back to their be- ginning is ke discovering all the multi- ude ef sources that go to make up the volume of the swollen Mississippi. The property which the Amalgamated Copper Company now controls was ouce perhaps a thousand mining claims, each one very likely owned in common by half a dozen miners. The department store trust has combined the business of merchants, some portions of which they acquired by purchase and others in some other way. It is estimated that the Standard Ofl Company has taken, by con- tract or by force, the business of ten thousand corporations and merchants in all parts of the Unlon. The few present | great rallroad lines of the country have been made up by the combination of hun- dreds of smaller lines, some extensions of one another and others competing lines. “The ambition of the shipping trust, per- haps the pet project of the great Ameri- can combiner, has been to control all the ships that sail the ocean. A hundred years ago there were hardly two ships owned by the same individual or corpora- tion, and even fifty years ago there was scarcely a ship owner, individual or cor- poration that owned a half-dozen ships. No one knows but that within the next ten years a greater man than J. P. Mor- gan will arise who will combine into one organization all the industries of the land so that the workman who works for wages can find but one possiile employer and the purchaser of wares can find but one possible seller. The steps toward the formation of one universal industrial cor- poration which shall erowd out all other corporations and assume to itself all the industries of the land have already been more than half taken. It is not so far to go from now to that end as we had to go to reach the present industrial conditions. “A monopoly is economically desirable; that is, for the rionopolist. The United States Stecel Corporation can produce, no matter what it sells it then for, its goods cheaper than the elements out of which the combination is composed ever pro- duced them. The Standard Oil Company is economically holy, for it pays 40 per cent dividends. The Sugar Trust is eco- nomically correct, for whereas the indi- vidual sugar refiners lost money on small capitalization the Sugar Trust pays big dividends on a large capitalization. The railroad combinations are economically impregnable_ for they pay. If Mr. Mor- gan's shipping trust and Mr. Schwab's shipbuilding trust are failures they are exceptions to the rule. We cannot there- fore rely on natural forces, on the laws of supply and demand or on economic considerations to limit the growth of modern combinations. “If they are undesirable, if the people of the American nation would be better off without them, or with limitations put on them, they must put these limitations on by the actlon of their legislatures, their conditions and their courts. The American bar must act, and the Ameri- can Bar Association must take the lead. If the Northern Securities Corporation had been allowed to 80 on, the next thing to follow it would naturally have been a United States Securities Com- pany, which would hold the majority of the stock of every railroad where the American flag fiies.” ) REMEDIES PROPOSED. The report proposed the following rem- edies: g “First, we can tax them to death; or 1t that is too radical, we. tax them until their growth and enlargement is impeded. There are constil provisions re- auiring direct taxations to be uniform. hundreds of | CLUIMS SHE WAS WILL DISCLOSE WIFE OF COUNT Alleged Widow of Van der Velde Writes to His Friend. Petaluma Woman Says She Was Secretly Married to the Dutch Nobleman. —_—— Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1113 Broadway, Aug. 27. Signing herselt ‘“Marfe, Countess Van der Velde,” and claiming to be the be- reaved wife of the late Count Van As- peren Van der Velde, whose romantic ca- reer came to a tragic termination on the sand dues of the ocean boulevard in San Francisco a few days ago, a Petaluma woman has written to Abram Binneweg of this city, a friend and countryman of the deceased nobleman, requesting him to have a photograph taken of the dead Count and forwarded to her. Count Van Asperen Van der Velde's embalmed remains are lying in a local | undertaking establishment prepared for the interment, which is arranged to take place to-morrow afternoon, and Binneweg is anxiously awaiting to have the author of the letter from Petaluma put in an appearance or explain her relations to the dead nobleman more definitely. While Binneweg asserts that the Dutch Count never hinted to him that he was married, he says he will treat the ti lady from Petaluma with all due courtesy if she calls upon him, but until she does he will regard her as a stranger. | the Netherlands confided that he had | spent six of the happlest months of his | life as a favorite of the fast and fickle | Princess de Chimay in Paris, and was | then given the ‘“‘marble heart” by that | beautiful adventuress, who ‘deserted him for the Gypsy musician, Rigo. In her communication to Binneweg the | writer from Petaluma states that she | was secretly wedded to Count Van der | Velde while the Hollander was stopping | with his countryman here at %0 Broad- | way. Careful search of the marriage license records for two years and a half | falled to disclose that any license had been issued to any person bearing the name of the Dutch nobleman. The epistle from *“Marie, Countess Van der Velde,” of Petaluma, received by Binneweg this | morning, was inclosed in an envelope bearing the address of the Petaluma | Rochdale Association and read as fol- lows: PETALUMA, Aug. 24, 1008.—Mr. Binneweg —Dear 8ir: You will-undoubtedly be surprised to know that the late Count Van Asperen Van | der Velde was my husband. We were married privately with the understanding that it should | be kept secret until some of my financial af- fairs were settled. | I have read the many articles in the daily | papers with great pain and sorrow, for al- though I knew his finances were low, for I | sent him money often until he refused’ to ac- cept further assistance, still I cannot believe | he took his own lite. | We were married while he was living in | your house I winter. He was suffering men- tally, I belleve, but I am sure he died a nat- | ural ‘death. [ 'do not yet know what step to | take in the matter and do not believe I am | strong enough to attend the funeral, which I | see you have In charge. T have many letters | from bim, but no pictare. Will you have a | photograph’ taken for me and I will call upon You as soon as I am weil enough to get your advice as to making myself known as his wite. Poor, dear man; he was a sensitive, high- minded man and should have lived longer un- til I could have arranged my affairs, when we | expected to have our marriage made known to | the world and have gone East and later to | Burope. Peace be to his soul is all that I can say, and thanks for your kindness. Believe me, I Will call upon you soon. And with my best regards, 1 am in the deepest sorrow, sincerely, MARIE, COUNTESS VAN DER VELDE. | P. 8.—Do not forget the picture. I look upon you as @ brother in this affair. It places { me in a most em ng position before the world. M. Funeral services for the late Count will | be conducted in Oakland to-morrow by | the Consul for the Netherlands at San | Francisco, George G. J. Marsily. The | burial will be in Mountain View Ceme- tery. If Countess Marie Van Der Velde lives | in Petaluma she could not be located last night. Nobody seems to know her | or can recall having heard of such a woman. —_——e—————— Marriage Licenses. OAKLAND, Aug. 2.—The following marriage licenses were issued by the County Clerk to-day: Antone Niermeyer, over 21, Contra Costa, and Gertrude Van | der Dussen, over 18, Hanford; Leonard J. Thomas, 24, and Margaret F. McVicker, |21, both of San Francisco; Peter J. Vitheer, over 21, San Francisco, and Mary G Lynch, Oakland, over 18; George W. Benson, over 21, and Mamie Benson, over 18, both of San Francisco. L e e and in view of these provisions, it is prob- i ably tmpossible to discriminate in the | matter of direct taxation against corpora- | tions holding large amounts of taxable property. There Is, however, a franchise tax imposed by most of the States upon corporations at the time of their incor- poration, and annually thereafter. This franchise tax Is in almost all States in some way graded, so as to tax the small corporation at a higher rate than the large one. The first million dollars pays a higher rate than subsequent millions. In our judgment the gradation should be continued, but it should be a grading up instead of down. We would leave, per- haps, the first hundred thousand free and the first million cheap, and raise the rate with each succeeding million. The United States Steel Corporation has a capital- ization of over $1,000,000,000. The gradation stages might be slow and easy enough to please the most conservative and yet re- sult in a taxation of ten per cent upon the last 100,000,000. How long would the United States Steel Corporation continue under that system of taxation? “Second—We can compel them to render better and cheaper service. If the com- bination of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern rallways is a great enough public disaster to have the atten- tion which it has attracted it could be prevented much easier than by a hundred Sherman anti-trust laws by a single Unit- ed States statute that required any cor- poration engaged in interstate commerce to reduce its rates 50 per cent to and from every point where competition has been prevented by combination, mer common control or agreement. Congress can enact that any corporation or indi- vidual who engages in interstate com- merce must furnish its services or sup- ply its goods at lower rates wherever by any combination competition fs prevent- ed than where competition is left free. “Third—If necessary, the State itself can enter the industrial fleld as a producer and restore the force of competition to its former supremacy by becoming itself a’ col titor of the great trusts.” Great applause followed the reading of the report. The report is signed by all the members of the committee, consisting of Walter S. Henry Budd, Gardiner Lathrop, George Whitlock and John Morris Jr. At the night session a resolution was adopted directing the report to be com- mitted with instructions to the committee to report remedies for iilega! combina- tions which threaten commercial inter- emm'rmumm 1s regarded as a vic- tory the subject of trusts s an appropriate one for the American Bar Assoclation to con- elder. 3 | It was to Binneweg that the noble from | | stood in one corner of the room and ab- - LLOYD'S HISTORY Son Files Contest to Testament of Dead Capitalist.

The housekeeper and the wife, young Lloyd says, conspired against him. He alleges that they worked together and had his father under their control and polsoned his mind against the son by charging him with cemplicity in the crime committed by his cousin. For some time after Lloyd was shot his life was despaired of.

The State Board of Health and | United States marine hospital service concur in the adoption of the sanitary | regulation. The resignation of Charles Moreau, en: gineer at the Almshouse, was accepted. The board condemned a number of un-l sanitary buildings in Chinatown and set Thursday, September 17, at 10: a. m., | as the time for hearing complaints | against the order for the vacation of premises at 07, %9 and §11 Stockton | street. | The action of Resident Physician Mc- | Eiroy in suspending C.

Wideberg, clerk at the City and County Hospital, on the recommendation of the Civil Service Commission, which had dismissed the charges against him. | No action was taken regarding the dis- | approval of the Civil Service Commission | of several temporary appointments. The | board wants more than one name certified | by the commission for the positions, but the latter persists in certifying to but one | name, although the City Attorney has rendered a contrary opinion. —————— TWO CHINESE WOMEN MAKE | REPORT OF DARING ROBBERY Claim That Two Thieves Forced Them | to Give Up Keys to Chest Con- | taining Valuables. A report of a most sensational robbery was made to the police yesterday by Ah Ying and Ah Lon, two Chinese women residing at %09% Clay street. The com- plainants allege that on Wednesday even- ing at 8 o'dlock two white men entered their home and compelled Ah Ying to de- liver up the keys to the chest which stracted therefrom $545 in gold, $130 in Mexican money, five gold rings and a Chinese gold bracelet. The women could not give a good de- seription of the men other than that one of them was tall and thin with a black mustache and the other short and stout. Deteetives McMahon and Dinan were detalled on the case and after an inves- tigation are of the opinion tnat the story told by the women is not true, as it ap- pears improbable that the thieves should know that the chest in question contained any valuables. pribien RS ey RS RE Steamship Peru Arrives.
