The San Francisco call., 1896-07-24

Christiansen reports light and battling
winds during the entire trip, so 1t is no
wonder that the brig took twenty-five days
to make the run. The Spreckels holds the
record, having come from Kahulul to San
Francisco in little over ten days.
San Francisco will be well supplied with
tramp steamers in a few weeks. One is
now loading at Port Costa and two more
are on the way from Yokohama the
Agordat, 1728 tons, from Santos; Long
ships, 2S43 tons, from Singapore, and the
Cedar Branch, 1912 tons. from Yokohama.
All six vessels will load wheat, and in con-
sequence the vessels at Sausalito will re-
main idle for some time to come.
John and Caesar Cummings, the River
side murderers. and Charles Marshall, the
San Jacinto murderer, were taken across
the bay on the steamer Tiburon yesterday.
TIE two brothers are to be hanged at San
Quentin on September 25, while Marshall
has to serve sixty years at hard labor.
The Cummings murdered a farmer named
Murramer on the Riverside ranch, and
Marshall killed Frank Hamilton in April,
1894 He was convicted, but secured a
new trial on technicality, and was found
guilty of murder in the second degree.

LEFT HERE LATE LAST NIGHT.
Captain Paterson and Thorn as Grahame
Advised by British Authori-
ties to Flee.

When the Mariposa left this port late
last night she had among her passengers
two political refugees from England, who
were ringleaders in the Johannesburg
outbreak, and who left Paris three
weeks ago at the instance of the Brit
ish Government to make themselves
inaccessible as valuable witnesses for an
official inquiry into the origin of the up
rising in South Africa.
The men are now on their way to Aus
tralia. One is Captain W. S. Paterson of
Stirling Scotland, who is bound for Sgd
ney. The other is Thomas w. r. Gra-
hame, an Englishman, upon whose fash
ionably engraved calling card appears the
address, 1859 West One Hundred and
Eighteenth street.. New York city,; his
destination is Brisbane.
They arrived here Tuesday night di-
rectly from New York and took rooms at
the Lick according to arrangements made
by Grahames younger brother, whp
reached bore several days previously, but
who did not himself stay at the hotel until
Wednesday night.
That last night was an unfortunate ex-
perlence for the captain. He got out
alone and attempted quietly to lose his
identity while exploring the ''cock tail
route" and the mysteries of the Bar
barry Coast. He succeeded in losing his
identity. He lost his way. He lost his
personal liberty. And he lost $50.
But these are all trivial facts gathered
from his remarks yesterday afternoon as
he sat on the edge of his bed sucking
mechanically at an extinguished cigarette
and occasionally passing his fingers
through his disheveled locks to take the
temperature of his feverish head.
I'VE were sent away just as fast as ever
we could co." be explained. "Mr. Cham
berlain advised us 10 light ont.
'The way OF it was 1 had brought the
Arawa from Sydney to Durham. The
Arawa is a $500 ton steamer. Was an ex-
pertinent of the company's coming
straight across from Australia. Won't do
it again. They lost 10000. Never got
any freight Put in at the Cape and got
butter-just some cases of butter. All had
on trip up on way home was 100 pounds
beef.
"Well, when I was at Durham 1 got
orders from Sir Frederick Carrington-
What do you want to know how all these
names are spelled for? He was down at
the Cape at the time. So l organized a
cavalry ompany-twenty-f in the COM
pany-and started for johannesburg. 1

of the police. l was told to get ready to
go to Johannesburg, and we went. Tom
was trooper with me. Tom2 Tom Gra-
hame, of course. Where is he now2 I'll
be blamed if l know. Amt he here2''
And then the captain got up and hesi-
tatingly peered round the room and over
the foot of the bed in search of his COM
rade.
'I never tried to boss my men when I
took command. l just treated them like
companions. I said to them, Boys, we
got to start d quick and in ten
minutes we were in the saddle. And when

Taxpayers Are Willing to Support
the Grand Jury With
Money.

It is asserted that the postponement OF
the Grand Jury meeting until next Mon
day at 2 P. NJ. does not signify that the
members OF the jury are idle or indifferent.
Inquiry made yesterday disclosed the fact
that important preparations have been
made for the next session.
When the committee from the Grand
Jury submitted statement of the assess
ment case to District Attorney Barnes and
sought his advice he decided TO recall
from vacation one of his ablest assistants.
1t is well known that money has been
rendered by interested taxpayers to en-
ploy additional counsel If the District
Attorney should require more assistance.
The seven Supervisors who voted to re-
duce the personal property assessments OF
the Spring Valley Water Works, the Mar
ket-streeJ Railway Company and the San
Francisco Gaslight Company do not say
very much. They are awaiting with some
degree of Apprehension to ascertain what
line of investigation will be developed by
the Grand Jury.
The members of the Grand Jury must
have some positive information on the
su piect, but details of the knowledge pos
sessed by the jury are carefully con cealed.
The Grand Jury was invited to meet the
Supervisors last night and consider esti-
mates lot maintaining Gue local govern
ment during the fiscal year ending June
80 next.
This invitation was not accepted. The
jury has resolved to confine its future
action to an investigation of the assess
ment case. No other business will be
taken up.
1t is certain that the Grand Jury will
not lack means 10 employ attorneys, ex-
perts and detectives in case money should
be required in the search for proof that
improper Influences were used to Induce
certain Supervisors 10 favor the corpora
tions.
A well-known citizen who served on the
Wallace Grand Jury has offered to con-
tribute money himself and to raise con-
sideaable sum to defray expenses of the
in vestigation. The Grand Jury has re-
ceived many assurances of support from
leading taxpayers of the City. The opin-
ion is expressed that the Supervisors
should be brought into court to state under
oath what induced them to reject the fig
ures of the Assessor and the Grand Jury,
and then, without any data to guide them,
reduce the personal property assessments
of the corporations.

MRS. LANe's CHILDREN.
Two Taken From Her Because OF He1
Alleged Indulgence in lntoxicants.

Two Taken From Her Because of Her
Alleged Indulgence in Intoxicants.
Frank ]. Kane of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice was yesterday
appointed as guardian of two infant
children of Mrs. Bessie Lang of 917
Greenwich street. Kane is already the
guardian of her 10-year-old son, having
been so appointed several months ago.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Lang Is habitualIy
incorporate and therefore not fit person
to have charge of her babies. She is suing
her husband, Charles Lang, who formerly
conducted cigar-stand at 328 Pine street,
for divorce and she says that few weeks
ago he deserted her and is now on his way
East. She recently received a letter from
him dated at Ogden, Utah, in which he
stated she would never see him again.
There was quite a miscellaneous lot of
swearing IN Judge Coffey's court during
the hearing of Kane's application for let
ters of guardianship. Mrs. Lang does not
seem to have got along amicably with
some of her neigh bors, and more than one
OF them swore that she neglected her off
spring and devoted herself to the bottle.
One woman declared she watched an in
FAINT Lang roll in the dirt in the rear yard
of the parental domicile for four hours,
meanwhile chewing vigorously on the un-
nutritious rubber stopper of a milk bottle.
This amiable argus said in all seriousness
that she never once during that four hours
took her eyes off the wallowing babe.
Other neighbors corroborated this testi-
mony, but Mrs. Lang denied that she
drank to excess, which statement was also
made by her ten-year-old son. She ac-
knowledged occasionally taking a glass of
beer. but said one glass was her limit.
Judge Coffey interposed, saying:
There has never been a woman in this
court who acknowledged to more than one
glass. They probably fill and empty that
one many times"
Mrs. Lang made quite a scene in the cor
ridor outside the courtroom when she was
separated from her boy and declared she
would work faithfully and sell her frrni-
ture if necessary. to support her offspring
if the court would only allow her to keep

bers of the committee and School Director
Knox ok part.
Daniel Sullivan, president of the Bernal
Heights Improvement Club, spoke in ia
vor of an appropriation for Bernal Park.
1t would cost between $4,000 and $4,000 to
complete the park, and Mr.. Sullivan
thought that the Improvement is needed.
joseph Ellis asked for an appropriation
of $1,000 for the improvement of Yerba
Buena Park.
NJ. S. Kohlberg, vice-president of the
Merchants Association, spoke briefly.
He asked for $4,000 for sprinkling the
business streets. He said that one-fourth
of the sum is now paid for sprinkling Van
Ness avenue. The Merchants Association
pledges itself to sprinkle Van Ness avenue
and all other business streets if $4,000 is
granted. If the appropriation is not
enough the association will make up the
deficit. 1t costs the merchants a large
sum for sprinkling business streets which
they ought not properly to pay.
The association in asking for the sprink-
ling appropriation did not wish to en-
were discussed by Mr.. Kohlberg and the
committee. Mr.. Kohlberg spoke of the
park appropriation. He said that he had
information that the Park Commissioners
would be satisfied with $250,00O. He
thought that the way to provide for
schoolhouses was by bonding the City.
The Merchants Association delege etion
consisted of Mr.. Kohlberg. w. s. Doane
and Secretary Freud. The delegation filed
a report with the committee with sugges-
tions. The substance has been previously
published. Mr.. Kohlberg said that the
Merchants Association favors economy,
but at the same time wants the heads of
the City departments to have enough
money to carry on their work. At the

The association wishes to call attention to
the fact that the City is charged higher
rate for lights than private parties are
charged. The association sees no reason
for that.

D. I. Russell asked for the setting aside
of $1,000 for making a survey and setting
monuments in the section bounded by OF
tawa avenue, Mission street, Regent street

S. T. Nolan of the Fourth-street I'M
provement Club headed a delegation ask
ing for the repairing of the Fourth-street
pavement, which has been put in bad con-
dition by the raising OF railroad tracks to
the grade. The street is below grade.
Peter T. Seculovich appeared in favor
of the acquisition of piece of land at the
junction of Mission and Valencia streets

T. o. Downing, Being Once Nonsuited,
Fares No Better on Appeal to

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
decision of the lower tribunal in the case
of F. o. Downing against NJ. W. Murray
and others. The plaintiff and Defendants
Murray, Treadwell, Fuller and Carroll
were joint owners of the Bears Nest,
Douglas Island and other mining proper
ties in Alaska. He had a separate one

there was no evidence of separate owner
ship on his part III the other properties.
In the latter part of 1891 the Bears Nest
mine and certain other mining properties
were sold, the cash received for them being
$3.50. 600. Downing received $50, ,374 as his
share and gave receipt in full settlement
of his claims. Three months later, the
entire business being thought to be con-
cluded, he rescinded his final settlement
and demanded fifth of all the money re-
ce.ved for all the mines. He was nom
suited In the first action at law and Jared
