MASS-MEETING FRIDAY.
Both Sexes VIII Be Represented
In the Audience and on
the PLATFORM,

In the Audience and on
the Platform.
A wide-awake committee, thoroughly in
earnest as to the absorbing question IN
hand, met at the office of H. w. Outflow
in the Mills building yesterday afternoon.
1t was composed of Rev. D. M. Ross, Rev.
C. A. Rabing, J. E. Ellington, u. Z.
Walker, H. W. Outflow, Mrs. M. Z. Rich
ardson, II. w. Bowman, Mrs. j. M. Young
and Mrs. e. Y. Graham, who constituted
the committee appointed at the good cltl-
zenshlp meeting on Sunday.
The following resolutions were drafted
and will be submitted for adoption at the
mass-meeting on Sunday:
WHEREAS The fair name of our. City has been
disgraced, the senctity of the home despolled,
the purity OF childhood threatened ana the
blush OF shame brought TO the cheek OF virtue
by the preparation OF the shocking I'M
moralltles recently brought to light IN THIS
City; and
WHEREAS, The voice of outraged childhood
suited womanhood demands that justice be
meted out to the guilty wretches, ana
the honor of the moral manhood OF
our best citizens requires a speedy
punishment Tor crime that is a
foul blot on our civilization and dlshonor TO
the name OF man; therefore be it
Res0Ued, mat we, the patr1olc cltlZens OF
San francisco. in mass-meeting assembled, DO
hereby express our adherence and disap-
prevail of the shocking criminality so recently
revealed, and do hereby demand IN the name
OF civic virtue, in the interests OF home purity
and the sanctity of childllfe, more vlgliant
guardianship of morals, a closer watch OF crlml-
nals, better protection for CITY walls, by the
officers of law, and the speedy bringing to con-
dlgn punishment of all the known perpe-
traitors OF the foul deeds of immortality that
have sent wave of moral Indignation
over this community; and as the 1mputaLlon
contained in the newspaper reports In regard
to the public schools being the primary cause
OF the downfall Of the children, is base cal
jimmy upon our schools and should be lndig-
nantly repudiated by loyal Americans who do
not believe the public school is fountain OF
vice, be it further
Res0iued, That We as patriotic defenders of
the American system of education, do hereby
denounce the said articles, and record IT as our
opinion that it was the failure of many OF these
children to attend the schools rather than
through their attendance thereat which was
the primary cause of their downfall, and that
the unearthing of the base immortality by a
teacher in one OF the schools is complete vim
d1cat1On of the moral status OF our pubic
schooIteachers.

THE WOMEN ARE WORKING,
Unanimous in Their Support of
Mrs. French for the Po-
lice Force.

The W. G. 7. Q. headquarters on Meal
lister street were the scene of numerous
meetings and consultations yesterday, for
the women are still deeply, terribly in ear
nest in their determination to erect food
gates against the stream OF vice in the
land
The proposition to request the Police
Commissioners to appoint Mrs. Rose M.
French supplementary aid on the police
force. made at the women's mass meeting
on Sunday, was much discussed and met
with general appro baton. 1t will devolve
upon Mrs. Henrietta E. Brown, the secre-
tary OF that meeting, to notify the Com
missioners of the wish of the ladies, and
she will send such communication TO
Judge Tobin to-day. Mrs. French will
serve if appointed, and there is consdera-
BILE conjecture as to what the action OF the
Commissioners will be.
The committee on plan OF organization
met in the afternoon and discussed long
and earnestly the feasibility of plan for
uniting all the womens' societies in the
City in federation having for its object
the suppression of social vice. After a
long conference the matter was left open
for discussion at an adjourned meeting on
Wednesday at 10 A. NJ. The committee.
which consisted OF Mrs. Henrietta H..
Brown, Mrs. M. E. Richardson, Mrs. r. L.
w. Davis, Mrs. w. w. Allen and Nine. L..
A. Sorbier added to its number Mrs. Frank
K. RUSSELL Mrs. Rose NJ French and Mrs.
M. K. Harnish.
Owing to the necessary absence from the
City of Mrs. M. E. Richardson it was de-
cided to hold no mass-meeting during the
week, but to gather the forces on Sunday
afternoon at the First Congregational
Church, when definite line of action will
be considered.
When the suggestion from the women's
meeting that Mrs. Rose French or some
osher woman should be engaged by the
Police Department to assist the authorities
in preserving children from contamination
goes to the Board of Police Commissioners,
it will probably be referred to Chief Crow
ley. THAT line of reference is usually
followed by the board," said Commissioner
Gunst last evening, "and surely III this

'.These sermons and massmeetings have
no influence whatever upon me-" said
Jud ge Campbell. 'It's mere waste of
time to call this matter to the courts at
tention."
"You are too thin-skinned," suggested
Mr.. Forbes to Mr.. Cook.
The fact that the examination of the
witnesses has been conducted by Judge
Campbell and not by Prosecuting Attorney
Forbes has attracted some attention.
The charge heard was an attempt to
commit feionious assault upon Angus
tine Parritt. The crime is alleged to have
occurred in Meyers office, in his stone
yard on Gold street, and In the presence of
Lille Lindsay. The testimony of both
these children was substantially the same
in character as that given in the hearing
on Saturday last, the details being unfit
for publication. As to the essential par
ticulars. the girls substantially corroborate
each others account.
During the taking of the testimony of
the Parritt child the attorneys for the
! defendant showered objections at the man
ner in which the witness was ques-
| toned. The child stood close beside
Judge Campbell and he had his arm about
her. Attorneys Cook, Fire baugh and Sui
| livan took turns at arguing the impro-
prietv of this and said the child should be
seated.
1--WE know this witness has been inf1u-
enced, and oppose coaxing facts from her. Z"
said Mr.. Cook.
"This is child of tender years" re-
piled the Judge, land l think it is only
proper to do as am doing. Why, it's all
l can do to stand off you gentlemen.
What chance has this little girl with yoh?"
; At one time the Judge directed Mr..
Firebaugh to take his seat, and dir ected
that the attorneys agree among tn en-
! selves as to who should conduct the exa M

MAMIE O'CONNERS' LETTER.
A Druggist Accused by Woman
Who Threatens to Take Her
Own Life.
give addresses.

A letter of peculiar interest in connec-
ton with the recent expose of the old
men, Captain Peter F. Lane, Leon F.
Meyer and Phillip Ratz, was received by
Coroner Hawkins early yesterday morn
ing and it was Immediately turned over to
Chief of Police Crowley.
In it the writer. who signed herself
"Mamie O'Conners," threatened to commit
suicide because of the arrest and prosecu-
ton of Ratz, Lane and Meyer, and she
accused another man with being equally
as bad and as responsible for her own
downfall. The letter read:
SAN Francisco, Nov 16, 1895.
Coroner Hdtrktns intend to commit suicide
since Philip Ratz, Peter F. Lane and Leon E
of the girls who visited their rooms.
There is another man equally as bad as they
are. His name is Gustave A: Huester. He
keeps q drugstore on Howard street, and j,
about 80 years old. He is the man who caused
my ruin. know of twelve young girls he ha.
taken in his bedroom in the rear of the drug
store. He has two accomplices--hIs clerk anG
roommate. Yours truly, MAMIE O'CoNNERs.
So far the promised suicide has not ma
terialized, nor has Mamie O'Conners beer
found.
Chief Crowley detailed Detective Byran
on the case, although he expressed him
self as not placing any reliance upon the
contents of the letter.
Mr.. Heuter druggist on the corner o.
Twenty-fourth and Howard streets, is sup
posed to be the one mentioned in the let
ter. He characterized the charge, as fal
as he was concerned, an outrageous lie
He never knew girl named Mamie
O'Connors, and thought the whole thing
was cruel joke. He finally said: "Fol
the past year / have absolutely been perse
cuted. and every effort possible has been
made against me TO ruin my business as
we'll as my social reputation
MY enemy is a woman who claims to
be my wife, and asserts that borrowed
$500 from her which | refused to repay.
She has haunted my store for weeks. and
the other night / ordered her out. She
left, saying she would get even with me. u
Being pressed to reveal the name of the
woman Mr.. Heuter said: "She is woman
by the name of Mrs. Caravan. l feel
positive she has written that letter and
signed the name Mamie O'Conners to it.
This is terrible shock to me, as 1 am
engaged to be married in a month"
Mrs. Caravan denied knowing Mr..
Heuter or writing the letter to the Coroner.

LANGLEY CAPITULATES.
The Directory War in This City
About to End in a
Consolidation.

The executors of the estate of J. B.
Painter have applied to Judge Coffey for
an order of sale of some of the property.
The property referred to consists of the
Langley Directory, and the application for
an order for it's sale means that it will
probably be transferred to Croker.
Both Crocker's directory and Langley s
directory have lost heavily during this
year. Croker has lost, it is reported,
$2O, 600. while the Langley concern has run
$4,000 behind. There was too much COM
petition. and rather than stand another
year like the past one the Langley people
have decided to capitulate, particularly as
their rivals were preparing to enter the
field again next spring.

The school question will be re e.sub.
mitted. The law governing in such
cases is peculiar in its wording. Like
other laws of similar character the pur.
pose is undoubtedly to secure ga ma.
jority of the votes cast" But it is not
stated in that language. 1t varies from
the usual form, and requires "a majority
of the electors voting at said election. {"
In cases where majority of the votes
cast is required, Courts have held the
tally sheet as evidence ofthe votes cast.
This is in accord with the evident intent
of the statute. This being true, vote
is not considered as "cast" until it has
been counted, and its entire purpose as
an expression of the voters will has been
accomplished. Though, possibly, not so
clear, there seems to US good reason for
holding that "a majority of the electors
voting" means majority OF those cast.
ing valid ballots. A ballot, in the box
is no more vote than ballot in the
gutter until it has indicated the will OF
the voter. Yet, we believe the election
authorities were perfectly honest in
their action. More, we believe they
did the best thing. 1t would be cheaper
and better to re.submit the question
than to sell the bonds under suspicion
which would reduce their premium, and
might lead to costly litigation. While
we believe they would be perfectly
valid, the establishment OF that fact by
litigation is a pleasure our city car
afford to leave to some other munici
pality.
