12 MANAGER DAILEY'S PLAYERS IN CONTEMPT A Dozen Actors in New Roles in the Supe rior Court. A MENACE TO DURRANT. Judge Murphy Says He Will Take All Means to Stop That Play. BASED ON THE TRAGEDIES. Playwright White Admits That His Drama Is Based on the Church Murders. Manager Dailey, Playwright R. C. "White, the eight male members of the cast, head ed by Mortimer Snow, and the three ladies of the Alcazar Company, were all on hand in Department 3 of the Superior Court yes terday morning when Judge Murphy took the bench to sit in judgment on the con tempt of his order on "The Crime of the Century" made the day before. The actors and the manager had passed a fairly uncomfortable night in the County Jail and that probably accounted, as much as anything else, for the pallor of their coun tenances. Carroll Cook and his brother, William Hoff Cook, were present to represent the respondents, while General Dickinson sat on the other side of the table as the partic ular friend of the court and the champion of public morals as against the violation of the order of the court. His colleague in the Durrant case', Eugene Deuprey, sat close to his elbow and District Attorney Barnes and Mr. Peixotto sat close at hand to give that moral support which the gravity of the case demanded. The court room was crowded. William Hoff Cook opened his part of the proceedings by asking that the District Attorney select one case among the fifteen presented upon .which to proceed. The latter responded, after a hasty consulta tion with Mr. Deuprey, that he would select W. R. Dailey, the'manager. This was enough ' and Mr. Cook at once plunged into the middle of things. He immediately attacked the service "of the order of the court, the matter of the return of the Sheriff on the order and, generally, contended that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter at all. On this matter of jurisdiction he contended strongly that the court had nothing to do with any case that did not come within its immediate view. Mr. Cook continued along In the same strain for half an hour, and concluded with the assertion that, if the court ruled against him, he was willing to introduce evidence in support of the contention that his client had not committed contempt. "You seem to anticipate," said Judge Murphy, "that the court will overrule your motion to discharge the respondents, Which the court now does." Mr. Cook gracefully took an exception and asked that he be* allowed to introduce the minutes of the court in the case of the People vs. Durrant, especially regarding the adjournment. There being no objection this part of the minutes was read by the clerk, and Mr. Cook moved for a dismissal upon this re cital, for the reason that the order made was insufficient in that it did not specify what those arrested for contempt were sup posed to answer for. Mr. Cook and the court had a few pas sages at words in which Mr. Cook seemed j to have got decidedly the worst of it. At | the conclusion General Dickinson stated ] that the matter having proceeded thus far i he wished to introduce evidence for the in- j formation of the court. He added, also, j by way of emphasis, that it was not at all necessary to have issued an order. The position" taken was dependent, not upon the codes of the State and not upon the restraining order of the court, but rested upon the constitution of the United States, the doctrine of which was affirmed in the 99th California in the case of Shortridge. - General Dickinson then asked that he be allowed to produce testimony to show that Manager Dailey and his players were plainly in contempt of court. "Proceed with your proof," said the court. General Dickinson then offered the affi davit of Durrant in the main case, to gether with the affidavits and the Sheriff 's return. Carroll Cook, for the respondents, ob jected on the general ground of irrele vancy, and on the further ground that the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. The objection was overruled after consid erable argument and W. H. Byington, the deputy sheriff who served the order on Darey and his players, was sworn. . B s testified in substance as he had af firmed in the affidavit of the day before. He told the story of the play as he had seen it, and was closely, questioned as to the incidents in the piece. ' "How many people did you see take part in the production? ' asked Carroll Cook on cross-examination. ; '.'Well," answered witness, after a little thought, "there were four. There was a young man and a young woman, an old woman ' 'j__gl_B Then he paused. "Any more?" said the attorney. ' "I don't know," replied the denuty, "whether the devil had got on at that time or not, but I saw him." There was a laugh at this, and the wit ness stated that to the best of his informa tion the play was based entirely on the Durrant case. Assistant District Attorney Piexotto was next placed on the stand. He stated that the play was the poorest excuse for a play he bad ever seen, and he had seen a good many. In his opinion, taken from all the circumstances, it was based on the details of the Emmanuel Church tragedies. Mr. Peixotto confessed, as had the Dep uty Sheriff, that he had witnessed the performance through the courtesy of the management of the theater. ■ It was gathered from the testimony of Mr. Peixotto and from that of Fred Law rence, a reporter on the Chronicle, who followed him, that Mr. Dailey had stated that he intended to produce the play, order of the court or no order of the court. Under Sheriff Clack followed Mr. Lawrence . in the afternoon and testified that he had served the warrants of arrest on the management. Charles Micnelson of the Examiner testified that he had written the story of the play, "The Crime of the Century," for the - Examiner, and had got most of his information for that article from R. C. "White, the playwright. Al this point Mr. White was sworn. He was instructed by the court that he need not testify as to any matters where he thought his evidence might incriminate himself. In answer to questions he stated Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U.S. Gov't Report ' ■'■'■'' / '■ f' ff ■■••■•.- ">-:•.■■' ABSOLUTELY PURE that he bad written the play, but Insisted it was founded not upon the Emmanuel Church murders but upon the story of an Austrian tragedy which he had read as a boy. He admitted, however, that in the play two girls were murdered in a church. At the conclusion of Mr. White's testi mony Carroll Cook asked that Mr. Dailey and his employes be discharged and the proceedings against them be dismissed, Judge Murphy could not see it in that light. He dwelt at length upon the sanc tity of an order of court and concluded by informing Mr. Cook that it had been pub licly stated that he had instructed Dailey to disobey the order of the court. Mr. Cook denied this and went on to explain that he was not in the City when the matter came tip. "Well," said Judge Murphy, "if it had come to my knowledge that you or any other lawyef had done so I would have bad you brought into court and punished." There was more argument and a plea finally by Mr. Cook, when it became evi dent that the hour was getting late, that all of hi 3 clients but Mr. Dailey be released on their own recognizance. Judge Mur phy read them a lecture, which made them all" feel bad, Miss Gassman dropping into tears, and finally released them, General Dickinson joining in the plea with Mr. Cook, on their own recognizance. They promised the court solemnly in a THE THEATRICAL. DEPENDANTS ON TRIAL. FOR CONTEMPT, AND THEIR COUNSEL, IN JUDGE MURPHY'S COURT. ' .

The Dailey matter "was continued until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, the man ager being placed on a bond in the sum of $2000. . FOR NEW HEADQUARTERS. Young Men's Institute Prepar ing to House Itself on a Grand Scale. Committees Appointed by the City Councils to Work In Unison. The Plan. The San Francisco councils of the Young Men's Institute have combined for the pur pose of considering a plan for the estab lishment of new headquarters on an ex tensive scale, commensurate with the pres ent membership in this City. It ; was strongly impressed upon the ac tive members of the society that the pres ent headquarters at Market' and Tenth streets, occupying a whole building and containing offices, reading-rooms, gym nasium and fraternal meeting halls, were wholly inadequate to meet the demands from the various branches. The question of moving into new and more commodious quarters was discussed from time to time at various meetings until at last Ignatian Council No. 35 took the first active steps toward accomplishing the desired object, when at the last session of that branch the executive committee re ported a plan. The proposition offered was to rent either a whole building or floors, in a modern structure and there fit up large rooms for the councils; also a large hall suitable for entertainments, balls, etc., a library and reading-rooms, offices and all other conveniences of a well equipped society hall. It was also recom mended that' each council appoint a com mittee of three to form a general commit tee on headquarters. The recommenda tions were adopted. The twelve branches in San Francisco were notified, and already six of them have appointed committees. Rom all the coun cils, however, a unanimous expression of sentiment has been obtained, and it was favorable to, the project. A meeting of some of the committees was held a few days since and they decided to call a con ference just as soon as the thirty-six com mitteemen are appointed. It will be their duty to devise ways and means for furnish ing and maintenance of headquarters, which will be placed under the manage ment of the Board of Presidents. Ignatian Council went further and select ed a committee as follows to make arrange ments for a grand entertainment to raise a nucleus fund: I. B. McGinnis, E. B. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1895. Thomas, Leonard Fox, John Fitzgerald and- J. J. Smith. They will work with the following committee on good of the order: P. J. Lawler, James Gildea, Hugh J. Mc- Ginnis and Frank McGlynn, who is president of : Ignatian Council and ex olficio member. Thomas McGinnis, Thomas Fallon and George Maxwell were appointed a committee from the council to act with the other bodies and also in conjunction with those committees in re gard to the entertainment. The California Theater has been secured for September 13 and 14 and a high-class programme- is in preparation. The first part of the, show will be a minstrel per i formance by talent selected - from the in- I stitute, and the . second will be a vaude- I ville entertainment in which some of the J best professional talent in town are to par i ticipate. ' In addition to this method of obtaining i funds the general body will contribute its ! share and subscriptions may be asked, or j stock issued among the 4000 members of | the society in San Francisco. V y; :■ » • ■» ■ EUGENE ABE MURDER. Trouble Between Mrs. Belle. Spanier ; and Sirs. Nancy Lund. An incident arising out of the murder of Eugene Ware cropped up in Judge Con lan's court yesterday. Mrs. Belle Spanier, 506 Jones street, sister of the murdered drug clerk, obtained a warrant to search the lodging-house of Mrs. Nancy Lund, Ninth and Mission streets, for a bookcase, easels, pictures and other effects valued at $100. , The property was recovered. Mrs. Lund was a witness at the inquest on Eugene Ware's body, and in speaking of the trouble between them Mrs. Spaniel said : '-Mrs. Lund gave some testimony at the inquest which I told her was wrong. She got angry at me for doing so, and afterward treated us cruelly. We left her house in April, and she kept the articles I have just recovered. I . considered I was doing right in pointing out to her where she was wrong, although it was a trifling matter." PRODUCERS' ASSOCIATION. The Directors Consider Some Matters of Importance to Home Production. '. The directors of the Manufacturers' and Producers' Association held their regular meeting last night, Julian Soqntag pre siding. ; M. M. McGlynn and Julian Sonntag were appointed a committee to address a mass-meeting at Santa Cruz on Saturday evening, August 3. The fuel committee reported on the fa vorable conditions for laying down Cali fornia coal at a low price in San Fran cisco. Louis Saroni.L. R. Mead and John Ham mond were appointed a committee to con sider the advisability of incorporating the association and instructed 'to report next Tuesday evening. A communication was received from the Harbor Commissioners assuring the asso ciation the specifications for the new ferry depot would be altered to permit the use of California material. A vote of thanks was tendered tbe president of the Harbor Commission. • W. G. Bowers of the grievance commit tee reported that the State Board of Prison Directors gave assurances that no action in the manufacture of jute goods other than grain bags at San Quentin would be taken without due deliberation and that they would in no way seek to compete with white labor. Time was allowed the same committee to report on the status of the broom-manu facture industry in State institutions in conflict with regular makers. A communication from the Oakland Board of Trade urging action in the jute bag industry at San Quentin and declaring its evil effects upon Oakland manufac turers was read and. the meeting adjourned till Tuesday evening, August 6. The Southern Heights Club. The meeting of the Southern Heights Im provement Club which was scheduled for last evening was postponed owing to the small at tendance and the important nature. the busi ness that was to be considered, which it was thought best to delay until a full meeting could be had. The club is in a fair way to accomplish much of the work it has in hand. It has secured the assurance of the Supervisors that at least part of the street lights asked ; for will be granted, and work on the paving of Solano street, from Kentucky to Connecticut, is soon to commence. The next meeting of the club will be held on Wednesday evening of next week. . . . y,^ • The First Bloomer.

THE CHINESE SIX COMPANIES ARE DISRUPTED. A Boycott Declared on the Sam Yups by the Others. SITUATION IS STRAINED. Mock Tai, Accused of Murder, Is the Cause of All the Trouble. CONSUL LAI IS IN DANGER. The Five Companies Are Acting as a Unit— Overt Hostilities Are Feared. There is an armed neutrality in China , town. War is likely to break out at any time and in consequence thirteen special policemen are keeping watch and ward. One of Chief Crowley's best officers is con stantly on guard in front of the Chinese consulate. Cyy- There was posted in conspicuous nlaces throughout Chinatown yesterday large cir culars proclaiming the practical dissolu tion of the Chinese Six Companies. They were issued by the Ning Yuens or See Yup Company, notifying their people that they had withdrawn from the combination and that no member of the Sam Yups. could work in their stores or factories. The cause of the rupture between the See' Yups and the Sam Yups is' the atti tude of the latter company and the Con ul-General, Li Yung Yen, in seeking to send to the gallows one Mock Tai, who is Reused of murdering Yee Foo. i ||The See Yup or Ning Yuen Company, of which Mock Tai is a member, declares be is innocent of the crime charged against him, and consequently there nave oeen sev eral stormy meetings of the Six Companies in regard "as to how the Consul-General should act in the matter. r y Consul-General Li Yung Yen has taken sides with the Sam Yup Company. , The See Yup people claim that his pref erence for the Sam Yups is on account of Vice-Consul King Owyang:. [From a photograph.] the large button on the cap of Lee Li Chun, president of the Sam Yup Company.' A large button signifies that a person who is fortunate enough to receive it lias passed a creditable examination' in China prior to his coming to this country to represent the company to which he is assigned. Be that as it may, war is likely to be de clared at any moment in Chinatown, y The See Yup, Hop Woo, Kwong Chow, Young Woo, Ning Yung andXen companies have withdrawn from the six consolidated companies and in the future propose to make it interesting for the Sam -Yup peo ple. The See Yups have certainly the ad vantage, for they are represented here by at least ; seven ' out of every ten Chinese in California. B The pork j butchers in China town are all Sam Yup men and not a mem ber of the other five companies can buy or sell to them, and a number of See Yup men who worked for them have been called out.';.:; • . yy- XyXy. .'. '■: y In order to further carry out their inten tions , the Laundrymen's Associations, numbering 600 houses, has called a meet ing and also ordered a boycott against the Sam Yup butchers. \: When it is considered that the laundrymen purchase on an aver age pork to the amount of $1000 per day, not to speak of the large amount of | starch and other . articles which .? is ' necessary : for themselves and'tbeir employe.'! it is plainly to be : seen that the matter is ; assuming serious proportions.-. : / '>;. l . The arrest of Mock Tai is likely to be a costly affair for the Sam Yups. . -7-A'mfif , Another measure by way of retaliation that has been adopted by the Chinese as against Consul-General Li Yung and the Sam Yup Company is refusing to pay a $3 a head tax by all the Chinese who are taking : their departure for 3 the Flowery Kingdom, and still further trouble is an ticipated as ; it is understood that the We Leong or Merchants' Exchange is also in a state of disorganization on account of the intense feeling displayed by the See Yups and the Sam Yups. ; " * Apparently Lee Li Chun, president of the Sam Yup Company, thinks that some over-zealous See Yup man is likely : to an nihilate him, for at the stormy meeting Thursday evening he was known to have been clad in a coat of mail, such as is worn by highbinders when bent on committing some .murderous deed. The circulars posted in conspicuous places in Chinatown this morning were removed by order of Li Yung Yen, Consul-General. A visit to Chinatown . last evening re vealed the fact that intense excitement prevailed. Mock Tai's examination' takes place to-morrow, and should the Judge of the lower court hold him to answer for the crime of murder there will be an outbreak. Consul-General Li Yung Yen expects' it, and in consequence has offered a reward of $600 for the capture of the first Chinese caught using a pistol in Chinatown. He very rarely leaves the consulate, fearing the vengeance of the See Yups, and : when his deputies leave the place they are al ways under guard. At 9:30 p. m. last even ing one of the vice-consuls returned to the consulate, and his body guard consisted of ten able-bodied Chinese. , The notice torn down by Sergeant Shea and his posse yesterday morning was a warning to all members of the companies siding with Ning Yuens or See Yups not to have any more dealings with the Sam Yups and the Chinese consulate. A free translation of the document secured by Sergeant Shea is as follows : ' Boycott the Sara Yups. They are rene gade Chinese. and. will not help a coun tryman when he is in trouble. Pork butchers, do not work with them. Laundry m en, do not deal with them. Storekeepers, do not buy their goods. We will have nothing more to do with them and will not meet them in friendly counsel until Mock Tai is free. We owe no duty to Consul-General Li Yung Yen, as he has '. not faithfully represented Kwong Sue in this matter. Ning Yuen, See Yup, Hop Woo, Kwong Chow, Young Wo, Len Hing companies. "I do not know how the matter is going to turnout," said Sergeant Shea last even ing. "When the squad went on duty this morning they found those boycott notices all over the walls and I at once gave notice to have them taken down. If Mock Tai is held on a charge of murder there will be trouble, but I think we will be able to handle it. y ' .. ■ . "You see the Sam Yups are nearly all merchants and well-to-do Chinese, while the other five companies are powerful mainly in the point of numbers. The Six Companies held a meeting last Thursday night and the Consul-General was hissed. A demonstration seemed imminent at any moment, and we had to conduct the Con sul-General and the president of the Sam Yups to their homes. , "A man named Murphy, who lives on Twenty-fifth and Guerrero streets, has been doing a great deal to secure Mock Tai's acquittal. The Chinese worked for him for twelve years, ; and X according to him there was never a more faithful ser vant. No one could take '■ care ,of the children like Mock Tai, and if one of the family was sick the Chinese would f always go to bed with his clothes on in order to be able to f make a fire at a moment's notice. Murphy is certainly doing all in his power to help Mock Tai. y:-Y\. "As to the extra men now employed in Chinatown I know nothing." , Vice-Consul King Owyang was very reti cent when seen in regard to the matter last night at the consulate. : "There is some trouble between : , the Bee Yups and the Sara Yups," said he, "but I think it will all.be settled. Some circulars 5 were posted in Chinatown last night, but I did not pay ■ any attention to them. , I know nothing as to the guilt or innocence of Mock Tai and the Consul has decided to allow the law to take its course. Ido noe think there will be any disturbance, but one thing is : sure,' the * first man who at tempts a murder will be arrested.'.' ■ In spite of; the Vice Consul's statement the fact still remains that for almost the first time in the history of Chinatown a policeman is detailed in front of the con sulate. A reward of $600 )is offered by the consul i for • the ' first v man " caught using a pistol, and ■ thirteen a special A officers are now on duty about the main thoroughfares and alleys in Chinatown. . The boycott is now in ! force, X and ; many : Sam Yups were discharged ' from : the > stores lof •■ the other companies, while the factories and butch er's shops of the former were almost with out labor.?* Things are in this strained con dition and it is probable that a change will occur within the next forty-eight hours. ' This is the second time in \ thirty years that there has * been ' a rupture in the Six Companies, and on each occasion a murder caused the trouble. ,y The word miscreant ; formerly f signified only an unbeliever, -' an", infidel.

BERKELEY'S GREENHOUSE. Facilities for Study in the Agri cultural Department Much Increased. The New $13,500 Hothouse Fin ished and Partly Filled With Rare Tropical Plants. Among the other recently added facili ties for study and original research which the students of the State University will be privileged to enjoy during the coming year will be the newly built greenhouse, which has just been completed. The house is situated upon the slope be tween the Students' Observatory and the Botanic Garden. The location is con sidered most desirable because of the highest temperature secured by elevation, and because it will also bring the structure into view from the main portions of the campus and the other buildings of the university. The range of buildings front south. The extreme length is 170 feet, and the greatest depth 87 feet. . The total interior area will be upward of 7000 square feet. The dimensions of the several portions of the range are as fol lows: Vestibule, 10x12 feet; palmhouse or central portioa, 45x45 feet, with a clear height of dome 42 feet; extensions on each side of the palmhouse, 20x37:6 feet, 14 feet high; wings on each side of the range, 25x60 feet, 16 feet » high. Thus the main structure consists of five apartments inter communicating and still isolated, so as to admit of the maintenance of different tem peratures as required for different classes of plants. In the rear of the palmhouse there is to be erected ' shortly an addition 29x30 feet for offices, potting sheds and heating furnaces. A brick chimney fifty feet in height will also be reared from the furnace. The entire cost of the building and its appurtenances is upward of $13,500, most of which comes from the Morrill a;d fund. ".."•' '":'.-' Captain Kellner, foreman of the experi ment station, said yesterday that the facili ties which the new building will afford have long been ereatly needed. ."Though the new building itself is finished," said he, "the work oi arranging the trees and plants will not be completed for several months. -fi,y<y^ "The west end is already filled with various tropical trees, including coffee, banana, guava, pepper, cinnamon, China, nut, Mexican pear and alligator pear, be sides . a ; fine 'collection of tube-rooted : be gonias, rex begonias, tamarisks and thirty varieties of palms.'.' : The central part of the building or palm house, is being excavated nine feet deep, and when finished seven kinds of soil will be used in place of the adobe thrown out, for the exclusive growth of palms. ; *» r • For Those Who Angle.
