The morning call., 1892-05-28


from the day Of its opening.
But nine residents Of San Francisco own
ing property in the block bounded by Mar
ket. Third, Mission and Fourth streets
signed that accursed document just the
same.
They were willing to make themselves
responsible for the maintenance Of the vile
place for another three months.
Here are the nine and their places Of
residence:
z. ROURKE, 1925 Page street
JAMES o. F4IR, Occidental Hotel.
TIMOTHF 3. HcSHEEHY, ESQ Jessie
street.
J. G. ROBERTS. 1909 Post street.
Or. DAVID BOOSTER, S13 Webster
street.
s. II. SEI MOUR, Russ House.
JOSEPH ROSS, 600 Bash street.
FILLI4II EHRENFFORT, sol Fillmore
street.
AS4 FISK, 700 Hayes street.
Besides these there were three other 81 g.
natures. One Of these-that OF resident
Of San Franeisco-was withdrawn last
night, due notice being given the Police
Commissioners, Chairman r J. TObin him
self being notified.
The other two names were those OF non
residents. They are:
il. FLOOD. Menlo Park.
II. Z. SHOOK, san Jose.
Both of these men own property in the
block tainted by the vile presence Of the
Cremorne, but, as is seen, they do not re-
side in San Francisco.
Clear as daylight is the law on this point:
But ID the case OF the refusal Of such consent
upon application, SAID Board Of Police Commits
sfoneTs shall grant he same upon the written
recommendation OF not less than II tjtt-eus Of
san Francisco, owning real estate IN The block
or square IN which SAID business Is 10 be car
Tied on.
And furthermore:
Every person violating any Of ;he provisions
OF this section, or falsely representing him
self as being a citizen Of San Francisco
shall be guilty Of q nllSdelnednoT.
Evidently the non-residents who signed
that Unspeakably EtrociOus document did
not know the law on the subject What
other friends Of those eminently Tespecta-
bic citizens. Jack Mailman and Ed HOman,
are willing to render themselves liable TO
punishment for misdemean0T by signing
for them when they are not residents Of
San Francisco?
No man, even though he own several
millions, can be a resident Of two towns.
a. l. Flood. residing at Menlo Park" as
he signs himself on the Cremorne document,
is not, therefore, J. L. Flood, residing in
San Francisco.
Menlo Park is 80 miles from the corporate
limits OF San Francisco
Re. SnoOk'sname is not in the San Fran
cisco directory. He has put himself down
AS residing at san Jose" He is therefore
in law a citizen Of San Jose, aud not of San
Francisco. lie may be very dear friend
of Mailman q HOman, but those TWO
worthless, no matter now mighty may be
their pull viii not be able TO make any
man reside in two different towns 20 miles
apart
What, il heavens name. are our laws for,
If such men as these are TO maintain such
vile resorts on mere technicallties?
In any event. counting ia the two non
residents, Flood aud Suook (Which the law
explicitly states cannot be done, and VIC
latOn Of which law is punishable as mis-
demeanOr), there are still only II names,
and the law says there must not be less
Timothy B. McSheehy Of 256 Jessie street
Is said to be very we'll iDtentOned man.
BE has never signed such an atrocious doc
ument as this CTemorne abominatiOn be-
fore.
Now, look here, Mr.. McSheehy, you still
have time to set yourself before this CON-
munity as man who loves decency. This
is your first offense. Blot 1t out now. Send
in the withdrawal Of your signature, ad-
dressed to the Board OF Police Commission
ers. Old City Hall, to-day, and save your
self from a lasting disgrace.
A neighbor Of yours did this yesterday.
Mr.. McSheehv, there is going TO be reign
of decency In San Francisco. Help il TO
come soon, will you not? Have you any
daughters, Mr.. McSheehy? Think what q
horrible place you are trying to maintain
and what danger Ii is TO them. II you have
no daughters other people have, and. MI
McSheehy, they love them and hate to see
such a girl-debauching place as the Gre
morne ready TO snatch them and drag them
down TO ruin.
Go to the mass-meeting Sunday after
noon in the Metropolitan Temple, Mr.. Nc
Sheehy. and learn something about the
CremOrne.
Here are some Of the crimes Of the Gre
mOTne. as certified to by sworn witnesses,
whose statements Will be presented to the
GraEd Jury:
Two innocent girls were drueged and
violated there on the night OF the 10th inst.
This was done by an attache Of the house
and another man.
& "box-manager" OF the Cremorne swears
II Is regular practice TO rob drunken men
there.
II drunken man gives a waiter $50
piece when buying bottle OF cheap nasty
beer, sold at 81. that is the last he ever sees
OF his money He will get back no change
frequent visitor to the place swears to
what he has seen done In the boxes. No
publication can be made Of the frighTfully
Indecent scenes.
Residents in the rear of the Cremorne tell
what they have seen in the way Of horribly
vulgar exhibitions by nude women at the
back windows.
The incident OF a married woman being
dTugged in the place is also related
The CTemorne has a man known as "the
cattle. driver" who goes around among Inc
girls, swearing at them and cursing and
using vulgar language when they do not
rustic" among the visitors of the place
that is, make them buy beer.
Any person who is asked to sign for the
CTem0Tne should bear these facts IN mind
The results Of this sworn testimony will
be shown when the Grand Jury brings II,
an indictment against Jack Mailman and
Ed HomRn.
Sergeant McKenna, who has charge of
the license business for the Police Commits
sion, sai0 last night
81 will not grant the CremOrne license
until after the Board of Police Commits
sioners has passed upon the matter at its
meeting next Monday night With one
signature withdrawn and two noD-resdents
on the list there is certainly no chance of a
lcense being given for the place unless
three signatures CT residents OF this city
can be secured. TIE signerS must be.clti-
gems Of San FrantiscO. That is a settled
fact and do not think any license can be
granted to the CremOIne unless such Is the
case"
The fight gees bravely on. The Police
Commissioners. the Supervisors the citi-
zens In maSs-meeting, the Grand Jury and
