THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1903. GARMEN WINS DESPITE A COLD Marchesini Sings at the Tivoli Regardless of Handicap. “Prince of Pilsen” at Colum- bia and “Chaperons” at California. SRR required for a great : a might say that the wom and the occa- slon are re ging, espe- clally wk the opera and the Tivo ian opers company were at the last night—and the cul- ieater's fond memories of t was her chance. But the kind to the brilllant young wough her work was remarka- € g the handicap of a cold. tor at her elbow, and the fear 1o rasp her nerves, her battle ble—and the audience was kind. he result of this misfortune was that steners recelved every promise of a and brilliant Carmen, but each se, alas, was necessarily broken just t of fulfillment—and none were so #orely disappointed as the finished Mar- chesin! herself, whose heart sank as she trembled on the border of great things, then had to h ate and hold back as she felt the clutch of an enemy in her bron- chial tubes. The fear of @ strain or a breakdown kept her from soaring to the Pplaces where she has already made her fame. Though not herself, she was nev- ertheless artistic and pleasing. Lacking the dash abandon of consclous bealth and strength, she vet scored a de- kided hit, and the audience showed its ap- preclation. Russo was there, and, know- ing the circumstances, he yet expressed hiimself to the effect that her Carmen was tuperb.

All Proposed Improvements Are Advocated by Resi- dents of Mission. e R As many as could—men, women and | children—crowded into Mission Turn Ve- rein Hall last night to attend the meet- ing of the Mission Park Association, and those present were amply repaid by good speaking and an interesting programme of ried musical numbers. The hall was beautifully decorated with | American flags and the stage, filled with | flowers and potted plants, was dressed in semblance of a sylvan dell hung with Jap- anese lanterns. A finger post bore the legend, ““To Missfon Park.” Eustace Cul- linane presided and opened the meeting with a few felicitious remarks. He was followed by Miss Carroll, who sang in a delicious soprano voice two selections, the latter in response to an enthusiastic en- core. Mrs. Keith, well known in public work and an ardent advocate of the proposed new park system, was the first speaker. | She made a forcible plea for all the im- provements contemplated in the pending bond issue, but above all she urged the necessity for parks in behalf of the chil- dren pining for fresh air, of the wearied men and women, to whom the fragrance and beauty of a block or two stolen from the fields and mountains would act as a blessing beyond price. After the Orpheum Quartet had ren- dered three numbers in a highly accept- able manner former Mayor James D. Phe- lan, himself a resident of the Mission all his life, was introduced. He was accord- ed a welcome from his neighbors of such a prolonged and vociferous nature as to assure beyond question the esteem in which he is held by them. . He sald that he was glad that for the first time the city had before it a cam- paign in which measures and not men were the issues. These measures, he said, were certain to remain in office forever, as they were in the nature of permanent improvements and would carry out all the promises that had been made for them. We are not engaged in building a city, he said, but in repairing one. We had been forced by circumstances, he said, into erecting a great city, but the conditions under which this was done were such that much of the work had been accomplished in a haphazard and unsatisfactory manner. One of the omis- sions, he sald, was a sufficiency of parks, which would insure resting places and fresh air reservoirs for the great popu- lation now here and the greater popu- lation that was bound to come. The speaker advocated all the proposed parks, | dwelling especially on those for the Mis. sion district and St. Mary's Square. Arnold and Ethel Grazer gave two mu- sical specialty numbers and were followed Thomas Hickey, Charles Sweigert and P. H. McCarthy, each of whom in short speeches urged upon those present to use their utmost endeavors to secure the pas- sage of the entire bond issue. The meet- ing was earnestly enthusiastic and showed the zeal of the campalgn that is being waged for a “City Beautiful.” R il i, (S WORKMEN'S GRAND LODGE IN SPECIAL SESSION The New Assessment Plan Is Ex-| plained by Past Supreme Master ‘Workman Wilson.

At the weekly meeting of the Harbor Commission yesterday a petition was pre- ented by the Western Pacific Rallway Company for space In the ferry building for passenger and baggage accommoda- tions. The petition was signed by W. J. Bartnett, president, and B. M. Bradford, secretary. They stated in their petition i it ‘was the intention of their com- pany to build a line of railroads connect- ing San Francisco with San Jose, Stock- ton, Sacramento and other interior points. Possibly they might extend the road as far as Salt Lake. They stated that terminal facflities had been purchased in Oakland and Stockton and that they were already making sur- veys at those points. They also asked that & pier at the Terry building for the use of their boats be placed at their dis- posal. They also stated that they were willing to advance funds for the construc- tion of the necessary improvements and changes that their wants necessitated. ———————— Ryan Regains Health. ST.

Morse Stephens last night at the Mechan- | ics’ Institute. There was a big attend- | ance and thelecture was enjoyed for its | | force, its sincdrity and for the new aspect which Professor Stephens throws around | the familiar subjects. | In speaking of the troublous events that have long ago passed in France, but! which at all time make interesting mat- | ter for discussion, Professor Stephens made it plain that it was his intention to | tell of historical periods and personages | of France in a truthful vein—that is, sans the particular historical form or attire which it had pleased Dickens in his “Tale |of Two Cities” and Carlyle to paint in | | lurid, dramatic colors. | | Professor Stephens sald that it is the | aim of the historian of to-day, with the ! facts he has at his disposal, to give in-| formation of men and affairs as they | were. He would have the student know | that the historian of the present period | | is untrammeled, while the historian of the | past was subjective. Though the object ! of present day historfans is to place his- | tory in its bare and unvarnished form be- | | fore the world, the change from the hysterical and dramatic had not yet, he | said, quite penetrated into the minds of | the publie. The new history, sald Professor Steph- ens, throws an entirely new light on the | | past, and while it is less dramatic and | iless picturesaue, it is mgqre ‘intelligible. | | He treated historical personages as they | were, gave credit where condemnatlon | had been plastered thickly*on the inno- | cent, while he raised to dignity men whose names had been spotted with ex- | ecration by historians of the past. The | unfolding of the truth, the whole truth | | and nothing but the truth, is the object of the modern historian, declared Profes- sor Stephens. The picturesque may fade | | when they come to tell the true daily | condition of men and women, he said, | but then they had the facts, and facts | at this period were more than poetry | | and poetic prose and descriptions that | were hysterically dramatic. | Last night's lecture was a vivid, power- ful and interesting preface. The lectures proper will follow, Louls XVI and Marie | Antoinette being the next historical sub- | Jects to receive the attention of Profes- | sor Stephens at the Mechanics’ Institute. | — LIQUOR DEALERS PLAN FOR CHARITY’'S CAUSE | Two Performances to Be Given at the | | New Tivoli to Raise Sufficient Funds. | The charity committee of the California | Liquor Dealers’ Association met yester- | day afternoon and completed arrange- | | ments for their annual distribution ofi money and presents to charitable insti- | tutions during the holiday season. The| liquor dealers inaugurated this worthy | plan last year. At that time thousands | | of dollars were collected and donated to the different” charitable institutions | throughout the city, and this yvear it is| expected that the amount will be In-l creased. Instead of presenting patrons | with Christmas “bottles” the money which would have been spent in that m-i rection is given to the suffering and the | | poor. The new Tivoll Opera-house, at the cor-| ner of Mason and Eddy streets now in | the process of construction, has been en- | gaged for afternoon and evening perform- ances on Thursday, December 10. Thig| | day will be regarded as a liquor dealers’ | holiday and the proceeds of both enter-| | tainments will be awarded to charity. The | committee in charge of the affair con- sists of A. G. Hagedorn (chairman), D. B. | Faktor, T. Lunstead, Willlam Clack, T. | | H. Lindsay, P. J. Weniger, H. M. Meyer, E. L. Wagner, R. H. Stafford and Jesse E. Marks. The auction sale of boxes, which will seat over 200 people, will take | place at the regular meeting of the asso- ciation in November. ——————————— APPOINTS SUCCESSORS TO SUSPENDED INSPECTORS ‘Health Board inri Warned Negligent | Official to Be More Attentive to Duties. The Board of Health yesterday appoint- ed Drs. Robert C. Howe and Henry D. | | Fanning as assistant sanitary inspectors | to fill vacancies caused by the suspension of Drs. Fitzgibbons, Hartley, Green and | Hereford. Howe is on the civil service | | eligible list, but Fanning is not. The| positions were also offered to Drs. J. Kuykendall and Reuben Hill, the remain- ing two civil service eligibles, but they | declined appointment because it was for too short a period. Dr. Fred C. Muller was also appointed to one of the vacan- cies, as told in yesterday's Call. It ‘appears that the four suspended in- spectors were warned several times to be | more attentive to their duties, but failed to heed the warning. It was then de- cided by the Health Board to make an| example of them in the hope that they would be more attentive to their sanitary inspection when they are restored to their positions on October 5. —_———— LANE NON-COMMITTAL. Democratic Candidate for Mayor Will Not Say Whether He Will Accept. Not until to-night’s session of the Dem- oratic Municipal Convention will the del- egates know whether Franklin K. Lane, their candidate for Mayor, will accept the nomination. Many friends advised Lane yesterday not to go into the fight, as his party was divided. When asked yester- day what he would do Mr. Lane sald: “T believe it is my duty to express what- ever views I may have on the subject to the delegates who nominated me. Mr. Lane was asked whether he would appear in person or send another letter. He declined to say what he would do in the matter. The Democrats will hold another ses- slon to-night in Union Square Hall. Nom- inations for other places on the ticket will be made. The “Horses and Carts,” led by Colonel Herbert Choynski. and Joseph E. O'Donnell, will have more fun with Chair- man Hickey. A lively. meeting is anticl- pated. It is the impression in political circles that Lane will accept the nomination. Dies From a Fractured Skull.

Reichsrath Reassembles to Pass Amendment to Recruiting Law. L —— BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept. 23.—The text of the royal autograph letter rein- trusting Count Hedervary with the forma- tion of a new Cabinet was published to- day In a special issue of the Gaszette. In | it Emperor Francis Joseph says he is deeply grieved at the deplorable circum- stances which hinder the working of the state machinery. He cannot, however, assent to any measures regarding the common army which would possibly weaken both halves of the monarchy and which are not in accord with the interests of Hungary, the integrity of which they would jeopardize. The Emperor adds that he is nevertheless desirous of glving ef- fect to the concessions announced in the lower house of the Hungarian Diet by former Premier de Czell and by Premier Hedervary, which he deems to be admis- sible reforms. The conclusion of the Emperor's post- script runs as follows: aided the plunderers and murderers, the “‘pogromshiks,” as the Russians called them. The troops, supported by many educated and well-to-do Christians, formed a movable' shield behind which the “pogromshiks” ruthlessly demolished the Jewish homes and shops and cruelly elubbed such Jews as fell into their ! hands, leisurely proceeding from street to street and from district to district as they aid so. The commerce and industry of Gomel, which is considerable, is largely in the hands of the Jewish population, number- ing 25,000. Few of the residents are | wealthy, but none is a pauper. The Jew- ish artisans incline to socialism. The trouble began September 11, a holi- day, the day of the beheading of John the Baptist, in a wrangle in the fruit and fish market between Moujiks (peasants) | and Jews. The wrangle ended in a free | fight, in which many were wounded, one | moujik succumbing to his injuries. The moudiks demanded vengeance and | employed the following days, Saturday | | and Sunday, in inflaming the anti-Semitic feeling, the leaders being an named Penski and a rich Petrachenko. 3 | EXPECTED THE “POGROM.” i Everybody knew that a pogrom would | occur on Monday and the Jews appealed for protection to Chief of Police Ravaki, who summoned an infantry regiment | from #Hs summer encampment. Thus‘ there were 1600 soldiers in the town. At| luncheon hour on Monday the antl-' officer merchant named | | Semitic rallway workmen to the number | of some hundreds began an organized at- | tack on the Jewish houses in Zamoovoky | street, sacking them and demolishing or | spoiling the bulky articles by soaking them with kerosene. Police Chief Ravaki | had placed police and troops on the Za- | moovoky, but they acted as though they intended to protect the pogromshiks from interference. The Jews from the outside | who attempted to rescue their co-religion- ists were brutally clubbed by the soldlers' guns, bayoneted or arrested. recruits for the pogromshiks poured in steadily over the bridge leading from the railway workshops. A bystander begged the commander of the gendarmerie to| send troops to guard the exit from the bridge. The officer replied threatening the man with arrest and saying: ‘We know what we have to do.” The plunderers now proceeded from street to street, the troops and police fol- lowing them and cutting off access to the devastated Jewish houses. They subse- | quently visited the Jewish quarter called | “America,” then Konnaya Square, the upper end of Roumianzovskaya street, the | principal thoroughfare of the town, and | the district called “Caucasus.” FIRE UPON JEWS. Altogether nearly 400 houses and, shops were wholly or partially wrecked, the | windows smashed, the blinds and frames being splintered and every scrap of furni- ture and effects, even the samovars, sew- ing machines, mirrors and lamps, destroy- ed or stolen. refuge with compassionate Christians or conceal themselves 1In cellars were se- verely beaten and in many cases dan- gerously wounded. Some young Jews, ex- asperated by the action of the police and troops, armed themselves with any avail- able weapons and tried to force their way to the threatened houses. One Jew- ess attempted to shoot a non-commis- sloned officer and twenty-five revolver shots were heard in the vicinity of the bazaar, but were apparently fired in the | air_as no one was hurt. The police then undertook to disarm the | Jews. Forty bullding laborers collected | in the busiest part of Roumianzovskaya | street and stopped and beat every passing | Jew. This gang was encouraged by As- sistant Police Captain Charlononsky and Rural Police Commander Yeleinski. The gang clubbed Berg Kevesh to death in the presence of these officers, and after the victim had been removed to the hospital Yelelnski continued an amicable conver- sation with the murderers, none of whom was arrested. The Jews rallied in force at Kennaya square at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the military fired on them, killing three and wounding others, Presumably on the Governor's instruc— tions, the military employed their fire- arms against the pogromshiks in the Caucasus, killing three. This action and | nightfall put an end to the pogrom. DISORDERS RENEWED. Four hundred peasants arrived in Gomel early the following day (Tuesday), but were €aslly driven away by the military. A few houses were plllaged that day and two more on Wednesday, after which no disorders occurred until September 18, when a frult gardener named Zvagelsky was barbarously slaughtered by thieves, The other Jews killed were Pilatsky, mur- dered by peasants in the village of Ver- ouimo, five miles distant, whers he had taken refuge with his wife, who has be- come insane. and in Gomelitatf, Davidov, Leikin and Elpern, clubbed to death by the military or the mob; and Kagansky and Oberman, shot and bayonetted. Sixty- four Jews were registered as wounded and probably forty others left the city without being registered. During the week following the riots all the traine leaving the city were crowded with a thousand Jewish familjes. The Christlan dead numbered five, of whom the troops shot three. Ten Christians are recorded as wounded. The Jewish committee claims to be able to identify ninety-five pogromshiks, but only about twenty-five have been arrested, including one telegraph of- ficial. Over fifty Jews were arrested for carrying weapons or conspiring agalnst the police.

Dr. von Koerber said some of the Hun- garian demands were calculated not only to undermine the unity of the Austro- Hungarian army, but to affect Austria’s rights in the common army. The Em- peror maintained this view, and the pro- posed bill provided that Austria should not enroll an increased number of recruits unless a corresponding increase was pro- vided by Hungary.

BERLIN, Sept. 2.—Dr. Karl Ballod read a paper to-day before the Interna- tional Statistical Conference on the mor- tality in large cities, contending that citles having a population of a million in Western Europe were healthier than smaller cities, because the latter’s sani- tary precautions were far inferlor to those of the larger cities. Berlin, he said, was the more healthful and London and Vienna came next. Paris was the worst of all. Country populations were the least healthy, but country peo- ple going to the cities were healthier than town-bred people. While the rural popu- lations were stationary in Germany since 1§71, the citles had doubled their popu- lations and the country was increasing in population by nearly a million a year. e BURRELL'S CLAIM GIVEN LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL San Salvador’s Finance Committee of Congress Reports Favorably Upon Agreement.

The matter was thoroughly gone into, documents read and a copy of the evi- | dence submitted. Further consideration of the |"subject was deferred until later in the present | sesston. The councll awarded jurisdiction of | putty glazing to the brotherhood of painters and decorators. The Amalga. mated Glass Workers International Asso- | ciation was denied jurisdiction over plate glass and cathedral glass makers. The dispute between the Machinists’ Associ- | ation and that of the Allied Metal Me- chanies was compromised by an agree- ment that the International Association of Allled Metal Mechanics shall call a constitutional convention to be attended by a delegate of the International Associ- | ation of Machinists for the purpose of | effecting a working agreement between the two organizations. A charter was denied to the National Die Cutters and Makers because various branches already | e under the jurisdiction of existing in- ernational unions.

B RIS Thousands Join in Demon- stration at Docks at Liverpool. LONDON, Sept. 2.—To the strains of “The Star Spangled Banner,” “Marching Through Georgia™ and other American airs some 200 members of the Honorable Artillery Company left their London ar- mory to-day and took a train for Liver- pool to embark on the Dominion Line steamer Mayflower, bound for Beston, Mass, Prior to the departure of the ar- tilleryman, Lieutenant Colonel Earl of Denbeigh commanding, paraded the com- pany, whose smart uniforms and good aillxnment created an excellent impres- sion. A splendid reception was extended to the artillerymen on their arrival at Liv- erpool.. The Lord Mayor and other city officials met them at the rallway station, from which the company marched to the Town Hall, where a formal greeting was given them. They afterward marched to the docks, where thousands gathered and | gave them an enthusiastic sendoff. As the Mavflower salled at § o'clock this evening Lieutenant Colonel the Earl of Denbigh received the following tele~ gram from the King: “I wish you and the Honorable Artil- lery Company a good passage out and a safe return home.

BERLIN, Sept. 20.—The Deutschen Medesche Voschiegrift publishes a synop- sis of a lecture which Professor von Behr- ing of Marburg will deliver before the German materialists’ congress at Cassel next Friday. Professor von Behring does not believe that tuberculosis ean be in- herited or contracted epidemically by an adult. He asserts. however, that a de- cisive factor in the spread of tuberculosis is the nourishing of infants with milk taken from cows suffering from that dis- ease. The human infant like the young of all animals lacks the digestive apparatus and protective organs which in the case of Srown-up persons prevents the germs en- tering into the tissues. As a consequence he contends young children should be nourished with milk free from the germs of tuberculosis. Professor von Behring's efforts are be- ing directed toward the substitution of sanitariums and a system of inoculation for consumption hospitals. He is firmly convinced that, like animals, human beings can be rendered immune by inocu- lation with tuberculosis toxine obtained from cows. The professor, however, dis- tinctly says that his experiments to ob- tain a perfect toxine are not completed, —————— BRITISH WEST INDIES SCOURGED BY FAMINE St. Vincent Journal Bitterly Attacks Home Government for With- holding Aid. ST. THOMAS, D. W. L. Sept. 23—The Gazette of the British island of St. Kitts says: The moment for the helping hand of the Government to be extended cannot much longer be delayed if the laboring population of the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis are to be kept from starvation. An appalling condition of poverty exists. The estates have been compelled to lessen their expenses owing to the lonlg droughts and able-bodied men and women are hard- ly earning enough to supply their daily wants. The Times of the British island of St. Vincent blamed the Government for the misery prevailing since the volcanic erup- tion on that island, adding that starva- tion and disease are killing many per- sons and that a large number are half naked and homeless. Laborers of both sexes sleep in sheds and tattered tents erected a year dgo—“harbors of disease and immorality and a disgrace to the colony.” ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.—Not a word had been received by Dr. Herran, the Co- lombian Charge, up to a late hour to- night regarding the Panama canal treaty. Dr. Herran says he would not be prised if Colombia should take the tory steps for a renewal of the canal ne- gotiations along somewhat different lines from that on what the last conventfon was framed. That this is possible, he says, is indicated by the communications which have come to the State Department from the Colombian legation to the‘effect that the Bogota t was anxious to keep alive the canal negotiations. The report from Minister Beaupre indicates that the whole subject has ended in a deadlock. ; ‘edding Engagement Announced. il >
