The San Francisco call., 1896-10-21

ing to the complaint filed In the Justices
Court yesterday by P. A. Bergerot, the at
torney for DR.. Bazet, the physician at
tended Mrs. Sutro's father, Henry w.
Clinton, until his death on May 8, 1898.
and then rendered bill for $142 so. From
that day to the present ne has been en-
deavoring to collect, but with little sue
cess, the only payment made being the
sum of $42 so in October. 1895.
At the time of his death the defendant's g
father was in reduced circumstances, and,
according to the complaint, dependent on
his daughter for maintenance and medi-
cal treatment. He had few hundred
dollars insurance on his life, and, desiring
to collect this, Mrs. Sutro wrote to DIR.
Bazet from New York, to which place she
removed Immediately after her fathers
death. asking him to send her certificate
OF his death.
This DIR. Bazet refused to do until his
bill was paid, and then Mrs. Sutro went
to the Board of Health for the necessary
proof and obtained it there.
The correspondence between the par
ties was voluminous in the extreme, but
outside of the $42 30 mentioned DR.. Bazet
could get nothing beyond promises, and,
growing impatient of these, he brought
suit.
The complaint alleges, in addition to
other things, that the defendant is and
was at all times mentioned in the COM
plant in afhuent circumstances and fully
able to pay the sums due the physician.
Mrs. Sutro's husband is. made a CO.

Architect of Affiliated Colleges Will
Not Secure Pay From Faculty
or Con tractors.

Monday evening Governor Budd tele-
graphed to Sacramento requesting that
Levi Rackliffe, State Treasurer, and Lewis
II. Brown, Secretary of State, come imme-
diately to San francisco. Under the law
appropriating $250,000 to build for the
Affiliated Colleges these officers and the
Governor are bound to approve the ac-
cepted contracts for construction, More
over no changes or modification OF plans
can be made without their assent. In re-
sponse to the Governors wire the Treas
urer and Secretary arrived in the City yes
terday morning and attended a joint
meeting OF the law and building COM
mittee of the Board of Regents, which was
held prior to the regular session of the
board yesterday.
Complications growing out of the prom
ise of DR.. Beverley Cole and the medical
faculty to pay the architect $11, 900 to
make good commissions waived in order
to bring the cost of the building within
the limit of S250,000 rendered immediate
action of some kind necessary. The Gov
ernor was convinced that some agreement
had been reached by which the contrac-
tors had consented to REIN burse the fac
ulty, and therefore manifested firm de-
termination to change the order of things

Scanty Contributions for
the Democratic Cam
paign.
People Give as They Vote and
This Year Mckinley is a
Winner.
NOT LIKE A BEANsTALK STORY
The Popular" Fund Started by the
Examiner" Has Proved
Flat Failure.

The Democratic State COMMITTEES is not
yet happy. The members of the commit
tee, led by young Mr.. Afford. the boy
manager of the boy orators campaign in
California, are panied because the people
of California are not responding to the
appeal for campaign funds.
This want of alacrity in sending in
money is looked on as lack of enthusi-
asm on the part Of the people, for if the
people were really in earnest in their de-
sire to help along the election of Mr..
Bryan, they would certainly put up
enough coin to keep the campaign COM
mittees machinery in working order.
Undoubtedly these gentlemen of the
Democratic State Committee are right,
and their gloomy forebodings are well
founded. The people of the State are eyi-
IDENTIFY Indifferent to the pleadings of Mr..
Afford and his associates, nor has the eff
fort of the Examiner to arouse a little arti-
fetal enthusiasm proved to them suffi-
GENTLY satisfactory. By offering to dupli-
cate all the contributions of its subscrIb-
ers the Examiner in about two weeks
time has realized but $2652 so, which
means that "tne common people" to
whom an impassioned appeal was maze
have given only half that sum, which is
exactly $1326 IS, which is not very good
financial showing for the alleged majority
predicted by the Democratic State Com
mittee.
In political affairs as well as in all other
matters it is an established fact that peo-
pie give as they vote and feel, and when
the people show such an absence of inter-
est in Mr.. Bryan's campaign it is clear
illustration of the truth that they are no
longer warm and strong in the faith.
The Republican State Committee, on
the contrary, is constantly in receipt of
support from the voters throughout the
State. They are enthusiastic for McKin-
ley and believe he will win.
This falling away in Democratic en-
thusiasm worries not only the Democratic
leaders but is extremely annoying to the
newspaper that started this popular"
subscription. 1t was at first expected that
this would be another case of Jack and
the BeanstaIk." but so slow were the peo-
pie in coming forward that the campaign
will be over before the sum of $4,000, which
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-21

was said to be needed, Will be realized
provided it ever does touch that high
water mark.
In the meantime the Democrats are GO
ing ahead and doing the best they can on
funds supplied by the California Silver
Campaign Committee and the syndicate
of silver mine owners. 1t is noticed that
there is really no dearth of Democratic
speakers throughout the City of San Fran
cisco and in different parts of the State
though they are compelled to submit to
the humiliation of speaking under the
auspices of the silver league instead of
having their expenses ana the bills for
bonfires and bands paid by the Democratic

The latest news from India yesterday
afternoon was very disheariening, and
there will be no '97 wheat to export as the
sowing is now at standstill. The con-
tinued drought has ruined the present
prospect of crop beyond recovery. Aus
tralia and Argentina are suffering and
Russia is light. The Pacific Coast alone
must supply the deficiency, consequently
the farmers of California, Oregon and
Washington who have held on to their
wheat are in clover Even France, which
has always been able to supply her own
demand, may have to import, as there is
a probability that her fields will go short
also.

$500 of this date last year. and disen-
gagged 29,600 tons against 1880 OF last

The Egermont Castle will take for Cal

valued at $4,000.
L. w. McGlaufiin of California street
said yesterday that the market was steady
and strong and while huctuating had an
upward tendency. The continued call for
wheat from India, where no seed can be
sown on account of the absence of rain,
will keep prices up for the present at least.

For several days Mr.. Sutro has been
almost at the point of revoking his gift.
Last Monday he consented to extend the
time until October 80. This brief extern
sion explains the prompt action of the
Governor in calling the Treasurer and Sec-
retary to the City.
The Joint com mittee meeting yesterday
was attended by the Governor, Judge
Wallace, Arthur Rodgers, J. West Martin,
II. S. Foote and the boards attorney,
Major Mhoon. II was decided in effect TO
modify the specifications Admit the use
of Folsom granite on the easy terms
granted by the Board of State Prison Di-
rectors, and through such changes bring
about reduction of $4,000. Under this
order of proceeding the architect will re-
ceive his commissions from the board, ac-
cording to contract. The faculty and the
contractors will therefore be absolved
from ali responsibility in the case.

in regular session the following responded
to the rollcall: Governor Budd, Judge
Wallace, Arthur Rodgers, Albert Miller,

and II. S. Foote.
The session was brief. Judge Wallace
from the law committee reported that q
conference had been held, and that all the
difficulties were in the way of speedy ad-
justment. He observed that the Treas
urer and Secretary of State had readily
assisted in the settlement. He asked that
this statement be accepted as report of
progress and that the committee be given
until Saturday at 10 A. NJ. to prepare the
final report. On Judge Wallace's motion
the board adjourned until that time.

suggestion has been made that spe-
cial exhibit of six-ln-hand teams should
be arranged for, and in all probability this
