THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1904. CANINE STEAKS OFF THE MENU Officials at the Fair Put a Stop to the Dog-Eating Exhibitions of Ygorrotes DECENCY WINS VICTORY Exploitation of Disgusting Habits of Savages in the Filipino Village Barred BY PAUL EDWARDS. CALL BUREAU, PRESS BUILD- ING, WORLD'S FAIR, ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26.—Word has gone forth from the Philippine exhibit at the World's Fair that there will be no more dog eating by the Ygorrotes in the reservation. It is stated in this manifesto concerning these savages that the fair has edu- cated them up to a standard where fox terrier spare ribs are no longer looked upon by food; that the visit of Colonel Clar- ence L. Bdwards, chief of insular af- fairs at Washington, on Philippine day had something to do with the abandon- ment of the nauseating practice and that the efforts of the St. Louis Hu- mane Soclety were not a factor in the reform. Dr. W. P, Wilson, chairman of the Philippine Exposition Board, who is resident head of the exhibit, i= not credited with doing anything toward putting a2 stop to a state of affairs that was reflecting unfavorably elike on the Government of the United ates, the Insular Government and the World's Fair management. the intimation that Colonel Bd- ds put a stop to the practice and widespread press agenting of the that the United States encour- among its benighted wards, he late ac! before when m wonde fact aged it caphones were rasping ight of the savage out the of those benighted \ed satisfied and re- g eaters were not attracting ¢ patronage SOCIETY MAKES PROTEST. a full sha s been here st through it of the St ting in the A than human- ded.

It was hoped to give a dog feast in front of the White House and have the Ygorrotes jump into the air after bones, but the President busy. That the Ygorrotes are intelligent and could learn better things is shown by their faces, their demeanor and the way they scramble after coins when they are thrown to them. They learn fast. ——— s FAIR STILL ATTRACTIVE TO PEOPLE FROM WEST Many Californians Visit the Exposi- tion and Register at the Golden State Building. ST.

Militiamen also told the court of inquiry appointed by Governor Terrell that the Sheriff | and his deputies aided the lynchers. { The two sergeants on duty at the | | cell of the negroes testified that the | Sheriff told them to turn over the pris | Riot Quick oners to the mob, as he had seen ('An—: | | tain Hitch and had been Mstructed by the captain to let the mob have the men. Captain Hitch testified that the plans of the mob had been so carefully laid that not even a regiment of soldiers could successfully have resisted them. He told of having before participated in riot duty and of having observed the moral effect upon a crowd of the com- mand “load guns.” This command he had intended to give at the proper time, but just be- fore that time, in his opinion, was reached, he was seized by a deputy | sheriff and thrown downstairs to the | mob, which promptly disarmed him. The soldiers, not having any loads in their rifles, were soon overcome and the mob completed its murderous work unmolested. He said he had no inti- mation of the purpose of the mob to selze and lynch the negroes as soon as ; were convicted. Captain Hitch and non-commissioned officers and privates testified to the collusion of the Sheriff and some of the deputies with the mob. Some of the soldiers swore that Sheriff Ken- drick had himself opened the door of the guardroom and pointed out the isoners to the mob, which; was hard on his heels. WAR INVOLVES THE RAILROADS Fight Between Steel Trust| and the Gould Corporation Takes an Interesting Turn | B Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—The an- nouncement that the American Steel and Wire Company of the United States Steel Corporation will ship 500 carloads of products over the Union Pacific Railroad at a cut freight rate of 41% per cent to carry on a war against the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company means aggressive re- taliatory movements at other points. George J. Gould is at the head of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. As soon as the invasion of that com- pany’s territory by the United States Steel Corporation was made possible by the Union Pacific’s cutting of reight rates from Chicago to Colo- rado the Gould lines came to-the res- cue of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company by announcing that they would make corresponding reductions in rates from Pueblo and other Colo- rado points to Missouri River points. The Union Pacific and other Harri- | than lines joined in the crusade of the United States Steel Corporation against the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, because that company, being controlled by the Gould interests, naturally gave | all its competitive business to the | Gould railroads. So far the fight is | confined to the Joliet plant of the | American Steel and Wire Company and { the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company’s ‘plam at Pueblo, but this fight in- | volves all the railroads from Chicago | to Ogden. If the other plants of the steel trust become involved the other railroads will too. —_—— Death Follows a Fall.

FRESNO, Aug. 26.—The of Fresno who wish to free themselves from marriage vows seem to have e: tered into an agreement to boycott the lawyers' union. Encouraged by the success of Mrs. Mary E. Cook, who ob- tained her divorce without a lawyer, a | couple of weeks ago, Mrs. Almeda M. Grey has filed a suit for divorce from | J. M. Grey, who lives at Byron. Mrs. Grey owns a grocery at 1362 F | street. As grounds for her suit she al- | leges failure to provide. She says that whisky has ruined her home and her husband has never looked after her as he should. Mrs. Grey has gone a step farther than Mrs. Cook, who had previously ob- tained a divorce and from the samse | man. All Mrs. Cook had to do was to change the dates on her complaint. But Mrs. Grey had to make her own complaint. She went to a lawy who | told ber the charge would be $50. She borrowed a copy of a complaint from a friend who had obtained a divorce on the same ground she wished to allege, and with this for a sample she to-day tiled her TS. —— Whenever the German Emperor un- | dertakes a trip to Norway he engages | as his pilot a mariner named Nordhus, ‘ who receives 3000 marks for his ser- vices. women | CREDITORS ADD A LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD] 0 THE SUITS Network of Litigation In- volves Former Treasurer of Catholic University PROPERTY IS ATTACHED Two Washington City Banks and a Number of Mary- land Citizens File Actions WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Further legal action against Thomas B. Wag- gamann, treasurer of the Catholle Uni- versity, against whom bankruptcy proceedings were instituted to prevent his making the university a preferred creditor, was taken to-day when a number of citizens of Maryland filed suits asking for the appointment of a receiver. The complainants allege that they at various times placed in Waggamann's hands certain money for investment and received in return mnotes which caused him to become, as to each of the complainants, a trustee, and that he was bound to hold the notes for the benefit of the complainants. Be- lieving that Waggamann was insolv- ent, the petitioners asked the court to remove him as trustee and to appoint a receiver to take charge of the notes with the title deeds and other secur- itles relating thereto. The Columbia National Bank en- tered sult againt T. E. Waggamann and J. L. Waggamann, his son, now living in California, on a demand note for $10,700 held by the bank, and the National Capitol Bank brought suit against John L. Waggamann for $20,000, | represented by two notes of $18,000 and 2000. Attorneys representing the two banks proceeded to levy attachments on the erty of J. L. Waggamann in the Marshall Palmer took pos- session of the Hotel Lincoln and other property. This action is taken under a section of the code which allows an attachment before judgment in a suit against a non-resident defendant. ———s The Patriotic League of Peru has raised the sum of $414,000 for the pur- | pose of building a man-of-war.
