! ecutive of Maryland he will devote his time
to the affairs of the Baltimore Traction Com
! pany, .! which he is president, until May l.,
when accompanied by his children, he will
go 10 Europe. He may make circuit of the
globe. but the chances are that he will not.
1t is his present intention to return to
America early in the autumn, not to take part
in the political campaign, which will be going
on at that time, but to look after his interests
as president of the traction company and his
private affairs.
The Governor and Governor-elect Lowndes

will tender Mr.. Lowndes a luncheon on in

SAN JOSE, Feb. 14.-An enthusiastic meet
ing of prominent business men was held in
the Board of Trade rooms this evening to
receive the report of the committee dele
gated to confer with the merchants COM
mittee of San Francisco relative to the
proposed branch railroad line for this val
ley and to take steps toward awakening
popular enthusiasm in the project.
The meeting was presided over by w. G.
Andrews, president of the Board of Trade
Mayor Paul P. Austin reported that the
committee had proceeded to San Francisco
and had laid the claims of this section be-
fore the committee. The latter stated
they had no power to either receive OF
make propositions, but took an apparent
interest in the arguments of the commit
tee, which was encouraging. 1t was voted
to make the committee permanent execu
tive committee in the matter.
Mayor Austin stated that the committee
had decided that c. NJ Wooster was the
proper man to conduct the canvass in this
county, and the meeting approved of the
choice.
A committee of five, consisting of ex.
Mayor S. n. Rucker, w. G. Hawley, A. c.
Darby, S. E. Smith and Robert Summers
was appointed to make arrangements for
two grand mass-meetings, at which prom.
inent movers in the competing road en-
terprise will be invited to attend. The
Supervisors of adjoining counties will also
be invited to be present.
The first meeting will be held next
Wednesday evening. Another meeting
designated principally for people from out
side towns who cannot conveniently stay
in town at night, will be held about week
later in the daytime The object of these
meetings is to awaken popular enthusi
asm, which will aid Mr.. Wooster and the
committee when the work of securing sub
scriptions is commenced.

JOHN CHASB'S SUIT
AGAINST THE CALL.
PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE CULPRIT
ARE AMAZED AT HIS
lMPUDENCE.
MORE FACTS CONCERNING HIM
ACQUAINTANCE PARADE THE EX-
PEELED FORESTER IN A
VERY BAD LIGHT.

The filing of a suit for $4,000 damages
by John G. Chase against THE CALL for
| alleged defamation of character was COM
mented on with amazement yesterday by
all who are acquainted with the plaintiff.
| Chase was recently expelled from the
Ancient Order of Foresters on the ground
of fraudulently appropriating sick benefits
while acting as chief ranger of Court
Enterprise. After his expulsion it was
found that Court Enterprise had been
nearly wrecked by Chase, and the members
of that body were forced to apply to other
courts for assistance in order to maintain
existence.
Mrs. Calvin, chief companion of Paragon
Circle, Companions of the Forest, of which
Chase was prominent member before his
! expulsion from the order, denounced him
vigorously yesterday.
"He is man. said she, ''who proved
himself to be utterly unreliable in every
way. During his connection with Paragon
Circle, he caused trouble continually. He
desired to run things to suit himself, and If
he met with opposition trouble was sure to
ensue. 1t is well known among the men,
bers of the circle that he collected money
belonging to the circle, of which he made
no accounting whatever. | cannot under
/
toriously bad reputation, will dare TO sue
newspaper for libel, especially when the
truth concerning him has been published.
Chase says he has a pull in the courts,
but don't believe it will suffice to pull
| him through"
representative of THE CALL sought in
| vain yesterday for some person who had
kind word to say in Chase's behalf.
! Mrs. Esther Chase, who, according to her
own statement, suffers the disgrace OF be-
ing John G. Chase's daughter-in-law," was
seen at her residence, S03% Treat avenue,
! last night.
Il married John G. Chase Jr. five years
ago." said she, land [ have had reason to
regret that act ever since. My husband is
the exact counterpart of his father. When
| Chase junior attempted to whip me | left
| him
81 cannot see how he estimates the
| damage to his reputation at $4,000, for he
has absOlutey Y no reputation unless it is q
bad one. The records of the Superior
Court show that he has been in jail for re-
fusing to pay alimony to his wife, and he
is rather proud when he is made the de-
fendant in some suit or other in court.
Referring to Chase's acts as a member of
Paragon Circle Mrs. Chase stated that his
conduct was frequently unbecoming a
gentleman. He bulldOzed the male men,
bers and intlmidated the ladies of that or
ganization until he began to believe him
self veritable ear
The resolution adopted by Court Star of
the Mission Wednesday evening denounc-
ing Chase as an unreliable, untrustworthy
and dishonest man has been placed in the
hands of Secretary J. Falconer to be sub
mitted by him to the executive council for
| Endorsement. The resolution will be signed
within few days, and it is quite probable
| that within a short time thereafter the en-
| bezzlement charge made against Chase by
the council will be reported to the Grand
| Jury.
