DR. CASE REPLIES TO FATHER YORKE
Denies That He Had 111 to
Say of the Catholic
Sisters.
ONLY THE PRIESTHOOD.
The Rank and File He Declares
to Be Misled, but Many
Are Sincere.
NO THIRD ATTORNEY NAMED.
Mr. Quit/ow Declines to Answer Re
marks Made About Him
self.
Dr. W. W. Case, pastor of Howard-street
Methodist Church, yesterday wrote an an
swer to Father Yorke's letter of the 9th
inst., in which he presents his side of the
H. W. QUITZOW, THE ATTORNEY SELECTED BY REV. DONALD M. ROSS.
[From a photograph.]
controversy between Rev. Donald Ross
and Father Yorke.
The third attorney in the controversy
has not yet been named.
W. W. Foote, who was named by Father
Yorke, and H. W. Quitzow, selected by
Mr. Ross, have not met for the purpose of
naming the other attorney. Regarding
the statements in Father Yorke's letter of
December 9 concerning Mr. Quitzow that
gentleman presents herewith' a brief note
declining to reply, and gives his reasons.
The letter written by Dr. Case in reply
to Father Yorke's letter is here given as
follows :
San Francisco, Dec. 10. 1895.
Editor Call: I see by to-day's Call that
Father (?) Yorke (the Bible says, "Call no man
your father on earth," and, in my judgment,
the titie "Reverend" should be applied to God
only) pays his respects to me in the usual style
of the Jesuits — by grossly misrepresentine me
and by calling me bad names. In my reply I
shail hot stoop to Billingsgate to call him a
liar in return, though the facts mieht wall
warrant the use of that undignified expression.
He certainly knows what I said last Sunday in
the Temple, or he does not. And if he does
not know, he has no right to assume that he
knows. And if he does know, I put it mildly
when I say tnat he intentionally utters that
Which iR false and slanderous.
I think the gentleman deserves to be called
"Adam" Yorke, for no sooner is his sin men
tioned than he takes refuge behind the woman
and cries out, "Traducing the woman, the
woman ! the woman ! the woman !
My strictures were confined in that address
to the priesthood. Is it composed of women?
Then let them no longer unsex themselves by
parading around in men's clothing.
Fifteen hundred people who heard me de
liver that address will bear witness that I
spoke in the highest terms of the consecration
and tender ministries of the sisters. I said I
dare to presume that the greater part of them
believe they are doing God's service in tneir
devotion to Romanism. I believe that some of
them knew of the better way, but dare not
risk their lives in attempts* to escape their
thralldom. I cited the case of Edith O'Gor
man, who has been pursued by Romanists for
twenty years. Furthermore 1 said I have no
words of censure for the rank and file of the
Catholic people who have been trained up
to believe the errors of Romanism to be the
pure Gospel of Christ. They are misled, but
many are sincere. For them I have sympathy,
and for the sisters pity.
But, I said, for the emissaries of Rome, the
priests, and especially the Jesuits, I have no
ttympathy, no pity, but words of severest con
demnation. Tney nre Romanists first, and
Americans second, perhaps. This was the class
of Romanists I aimed at. Mr. Yorke must be
one of them, or he would not flutter so when
they are hit; "it is the wounded bird that
flutters." If to expose the corruptions of the
priesthood is an attack upon woman, then,
again I .say. let the priests change their garb go
that we may be apprised of the fact that they
are not men, and we will spare them out of
regard for their sex. The cry oJ "Mad dc.;r I " in
this case is a perfect failure, for the p'-ople
Btill have their eye on the thief. Evidently
my crime is that I did not use a cquirtgun in
stead of a rifle. I took deliberate aim. hit the
bullseye, and we saw the brownie jump out
of the box, and heard the little bell ring.
If to state simple facts concerning the con
fessional if obscenity then let those who per
petuate this unhcriptural, unauthorized and
blasphemous relic of the dark ages be respon
slole for it. For protesting against such cor
ruptions of Christianity as these Martin Luther
was excommunicated by a bull, and millions
of others were put to death. Not having even
a riff-leaf covering for himself in liis hocus
pocus concerning the insult to women, Mr.
Yorke tries to work up a boycott of Methodist
Highest of all in Leavening Power. — Latest U.S. Gov't Report ;
ABSOLUTELY PURE
people apainst the pastor of the Howard
street Church. In other words, he would like
to have them burn the heretic, or put him on
the rack. But they won't do any such dirty
work. They never do such popish things. I
do not have to goto Methodist people to ask
permission to speak my thoughts and senti
ments. I do not have to go to ttM Pope to beg
permission to join the Muooi or Odd Fellows,
or Knight! of Pythias-, nor do I ever make a
Protestant woman, marrying a Papist, promise
to bring up her children in the Protestant
faith. Such binding as that is left to Komish
priests. Protestants are free. The Methodist
church— like the Catholic in one particular— is
a unit the world over. We are one. She is
solidly anti-Koman and intensely Protestant.
God raised up the Methodist church to check
popery, and she is here to stay till the war is
ended.
Again, I did not say that 80 per cent of the
criminals in our prisons are from the parochial
Khools. That is a half statement which Mr.
Yorke makes, which amounts to a gross false
hood. I did say they were from parochial
school* or from countries where they have no
schools except such as the priests and the
church provide.
Apain, if Mr. Yorke know-; what I said at the
Temple why did he not pay his respects to my
statements concerning the imprisonment of my
cousin. Pastor J. 11. Nelson, in Soutn America
for six months for savin? in the paper which
be piiits for the Methodist church there that
"to worship the Virgin Mary is idolatry."
That is the kind of liberty Rome gives where
she has the reins.
I am heartily ie!ad Mr. Yorke is in the neigh
borhood. He* is unwittingly a boomer of
Protestentism. He seems to lack the shrewd
ness and conning of Mr. Montgomery, who
us.'d 10 be the mouthpiece of the Archbishop:
but he is evidently youni? in the business and
may (trow to it in time. He reminds me of the
story of the Dutchman who laid out an in
fidelin argument and wound up by saying,
"The Bible tells us of a fool who said in his
heart there is no God, but you are a bigger fool
than he was, for you. old fool, you blab it all
out. " " Wk-twood Wright Case.
Following is Mr. Quitzow's brief note:
San Fkancisco, Cal., Dec. 10, 1895.
Editor Call: As I have been selected as one
of the judges in the controversy between Rev.
Donald Ross and Father Yorke I deem it im
proper for me at this time to reply to Father
Yorke's allusions to me in his communication
of December 9. H. \Y. Qurrzow.
A UNIVERSAL SISTERHOOD
Mrs. Kneib's Strange Plan for
Unifying the Interests of
Women.
An Organization of Native Daughters
Opposed to the Women's
Federation.
"Who is Mrs. Kneib?"
Everybody asked the question when it
was learned that some one had protested
against the methods of the Women's
Federation for Public Good. It developed,
not that she was a creature of some organi
zation or person opposed to the federa
tion, as some of the good ladies belonging
to it supposed, but that she was interested
in similar lines of work herself.
She advocates a universal sisterhood.
Her pet scheme is the unification of the
interests of all San Francisco womanhood
in an organization to be known as the
"Star Sisterhood."
Her plan ignores social or moral in
equalities. She wants to place side by side
in the sisterhood the residents of Nob llill
and the denizens of low alleys. Free
hospitals, reading rooms, rescue homes
and other branches are included in her
line of operations, but her strong point is
that there should be neither high nor low,
bond nor free, in its membership.
God sent her the plan in a vision, she
says. She saw a great biasing star, iri
descent with gems at every point, and in
its center a brightly outlined circle to
denote union and strength. God spoke to
her of this wonderful star, tailing it the
symbol of what is to be a worlu-wide union
of women.
She beiieves this vision was a call to the
duty of organizing such a union.
Her first step was to attempt to interest
the directors of the California Girls' Train
ing Home in the scheme. Hho narrated
the vision and offered them $1000 for the
home if it might be incorporated In the
great whole and she be made a director.
The ladies thought the sum was not
enough, all things considered, and de
clined the offer. This angered Mrs. Kneib,
who called the organization a one-woman
power, and that the power of Mrs. Kose
French.
Slie left the meeting in high dudgeon
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1895.
and the directors did not see her again un
til some of them who were with the party
presenting a petition for a woman inspector
saw her again under circumstances that
were calculated to imprcsß her personality
upon them. She it was who led the move
ment against the Women's Federation for
Public Good and who has aided in the
plans for a mass-meeting for a similar pur
pose to-morrow evening.
The Women's American Union, com
posed largely of Native Daughters, with
Mrs. A. B. Shepard for president; the
Women's Liberal League, of which Mrs.
Susan M. Theall is a promoter and which
is an anti-A. P. A. movement; and the
Silent Workers, an outgrowth of the
organization known as the Daughters of
the Good Shepherd, are the prime movers
in the mass-meeting. Mrs. Shepard will
be one of the speakers.
Mrs. French's advocacy of Durrant's in
nocence and her presence as his friend at
the trial is one of the factors in the op
position movement.
The lady disclaims any malice in the
matter and intends to attend the meeting.
MR. MAYNE'S ILLNESS.
The A •;«•■! Capitalist Is in No Immediate
Danger from the Attack of
Pneumonia.
Charles Mayne, the capitalist, who was
taken seriously ill Saturday at the Pacific-
Union Club with pneumonia, is out of any
present danger. Dr. S. S. Kahn, who is in
constant attendance, is quite hopeful of
his ultimate recovery. Yesterday he had
somewhat improved.
The danger of a serious turn is, of course,
increased by the great age of the patient
and the consequent weakness of his heart.
However, the fever has considerably de
creased and much is expected from Mr.
Mayne's naturally vigorous constitution.
Dr. Kahn says that the cause of his pa
tient's fainting at the club was the com
ing in of pneumonia and not heart dis
ease, as at lirst reported, although, of
course, at his age the heart is weak, and
so it was unable to withstand the attack
of pneumonia. Mr. Mayne is at his old
quarters in the Palace Hotel, and besides
Dr. Kahn a trained nurse is always in
attendance.
CUR ASSAY PERCENTAGES.
Affidavits and Legal Tilts in the
Hale and Norcross
Case.
Judge Hebbard Makes a Ruling Con
trary to One Made by Judge
Seawell.
The great Hale & Norcross case, or rather
that part of it sent back by the Supreme
Court for further trial, was on again yes
terday before Judge Hebbard, and most of
the day was taken up in legal tilts between
the attorneys as to the admissibility of
evidence of the plainti f fs.
The only question before Judee Hebbard
now is a? to how much were the plaintiffs
defrauded of in the returns of ore milled.
The Supreme Court sustained the decision
awarding $210,000 mill profits and rinding
that fraud had been committed, but that
part of the lower court's decision award
ing $789,000 to the plaintiffs as the differ
ence between the amount of bullion re
turned on the ore milled by the defendants
and the amount they should have returned
on a basis of 74 per cent on the car assays
was returned for further trial, as the evi
dence was not satisfactory.
The plaintiffs dspend for their evidence
largely upon proof of what was
the percentage of returns of bul
lion on car assays in other mines
on the Comstock, " and most of the
dpnositions read were in this direction.
Votn the admission of this sort of evidence
in the Consolidated Virginia case Judge
Seawell ruled adversely, and yesterday
morning Judge Hebbard, in r*»ply t< a
motion to strike out the evidence of cin
cials of other mines as to percentages ob
tained, said :
As to introduction of records of other min
ing companies, as I said yesterday, I am not so
entirely satisfied as to the competency of that
kind of evidence, and in making "a formal
ruling I have not done it to preclude you from
raising the question before tlie ease is finally
submitted, and I shall permit you to do ttat
very thoroughly. But at this time it seemi *o
me that these books would be evidence -n
some cases. Now then, lam very free to say
no* that if there shall be no evidence in the
case to prove that this ruling was not
properly done, except the fact that the books
of those corporations show a higher percentage
than was returned from the mine, there never
could be a judgment against the defendant.
That standing alone as independent direct
evidence it would not be sufficient, Rnd I fur
ther say that it will be of little value anyway,
unless the conditions are the same, of sub
stantially the same — that is to say, the charac
ter of the ore and the raani er of assays. But
it-seems to me at this time, in view of the tes
timony already in the case, the objections to
which have not been sustained by the Supreme
Court so far, that it would be valuable, not
only to this court, but to the Supreme Court,
as circumstances taken in connection with
other testi-nony, whiL'h maybe direct or cir
cumstantial, of "another character, against the
defendants, if there is nnv such, and it is for
that purpose that lam allowing it in at this
time, and with the understanding that before
the case is submitted counsel may thorougly
argue the point, and if I am sativtied that this
evidence is incompetent I then will cast it en
tirely out of my mind and strike it out of the
record. I will permit you to renew this objec
tion at the close of plaiti tilts' case, and we can
have it thoroughly argued.
In the afternoon the point was again ar
gued by Mr. Wood and ex-Judge Mc-
Ki3ick, and Judge Hebbard finally denied
the motion to strike out the evidence.
The deposition of Albert Lackay, super
intendent of the Overman mine, was read,
showing that the bullion returns from the
milling of that mme 1 !" ore were 77 per cent
of the car samples. The Hale & Norcross
returns, upon which the fight is being
made, were 52 per cent.
The affidavits of W. H. Lowell, a clerk
at the Con. California and Virginia, and
of I>. B. Lyman, the superintendent,
showed that the average returns of bullion
were 83 per cent of the car assays from Oc
tober 1, 1894, to September .SO, 1895.
The plaintiffs rested their case after call
ing A. W. Havens to confirm the reports j
from the Con. California and Virginia, and !
Mr. Deal began reading affidavits for the
defense.
Affidavits of James Barclay and Adam
Gillespie wore read to show that certain
samples taken from the tailings of the
Hale <fc Norcross were not tampered with
on their way to the assay office. Then the
affidavit of Orrin F. Peck, for whom the
samples had been taken, was read. Peck
had the samples taken and assayed with
the object of buying the tailings to work
by the centrifugal process, but testified
that they were of very little value and he
had offered only $1 a ton for them.
The court adjourned until this morning,
when the reading of defendants' affidavits
will be continued. They expect to con
sume two daj's with them and the case
will be argued with briefs.

BOODLE THAT CAME BACK
Martin Gallagher Will Be Seri
ously Advised to Tell the
Whole Story.
LILLIENTHAL'S MAN WALTERS.
Grand Jury Will Take Up Franchise,
Pound Order and Fire Depart
ment Scandals.
The Grand Jury will hold another ses
sion this evening and make special in
quiry to ascertain if improper influences
were used to prevent the passing of an or
der to extent the pound limits.
Assertions have been made that the
dairymen, hearing that a petition of prop
erty-owners for an extension of the limits
hud been presented to the board, straight
way proceeded to oppose the petition,
and in their zeal to defeat the exten
sion raised the sum of $1800 to intiunce
municipal legislation.
It is the purpose of the Grand Jury to
ascertain definitely how much money was
raised, and if possible find out if any of the
"boodle" was paid to an agent or attorney
of the Solid Eight. Many witnesses
have been called and some interesting de
velopments are expected.
Since the last session of the Grand Jury
an important communication, touching
the management of the Fire Department
in the method of purchasing supplies and
passing upon building permits, lias been
placed in the hands of the foreman, Oliver
Eldridge.
The Grand Jury committee on tire de
partment, tire alarm and Fire Marshal
consists of 0. F. Wilier, John A. Ham
mersmith and J. J. Groom. Shortly after
the jury was organized Joseph Gordon
was engaged by the committee to make a
thorough 'examination of Fire Department
affairs. The fact of Iris employment was
kept a profound secret for a long time,
and while he was observed once or twice
in the anteroom, waiting to speak to Mr.
Willey, it was supposed that his business
was of a private character. The communi
cation in the hands of Mr. Eldridire and
the report which Mr. Willey is preparing
may constitute an interesting contribu
tion to Fire Department literature.
The Grand Jury is not clone with Martin
Gallagher. The impression on the minds
of the members \va.< stionger than ever
yesterday that the witness was withhold
ing something important connected with
the $125 transaction which the jury ought
to have known. He will be advised for
his own good to make a frank and
straightforward explanation of the entire
transaction and not reserve anything to
shield anybody. The statements which
he mads to Langdon and the testimony
which he gave to the Grand Jury differ so
widely in essential particulars that the
jury cannot ascribe the divergence to lapse
of memory. The District Attorney is
taking especial note of the contradictory
testimony in this Langdon case and there
may be a sequel to the investigation.
It came out somewhat unexpectedly in
George Rose's testimony last Monday that
the pool-sellers who contributed $500 a
month for J. H. Dickinson's services ex
pected him to look after their interests in
the .Board of Supervisors. Rose, on ex
plaining the many annoyances the pool
sellers were subjected to, and their final
decision to employ an attorney to take
care of their interests, mentioned the
ordinance as one of the matters Dickinson
was supposed to adjust. One of the jurors
asked :
"Was he supposed to look after the
ordinance to prevent pool-selling down
town?"
The witness replied in the affirmative,
saying that he understood the attorney
was to look after all matters threatening
to obstruct the business in which the pool
sellers were engaged.;
"Then, why," said a juror, "should he
not oppose the Wagner ordinance, wnich
abolishes pool-?«lling at the track!"
The witness hardly knew what to say in
renly to this suggestion.
Rose's recommendation that a license of
$500 a month should be imposed on pool
sellers was clear and direct. He was asked,
in order to prevent misunderstanding, if
he did not mean to say $500 a quarter.
Replying, he said: "No, I mean what I
say— $500 a month."
In The Call's report of Monday's pro
ceedings, Samuel Whitehead was spoken
of as Charles Whitehead. He testified
that he had rented his premises to Mr.
Driscoll, and had no personal knowledge
whatever as to what Mr. Driscoll had done
in the matter of paying an attorney.
It is now obvious to members of the
Grand Jury that John Curtin, the well
known detective, should have been called
first in the matter of Langdon's payment
of money to Gallagher. The fact would
then hove been developed tb.it Lillien
thale man Waters was called in ultimately
to ret the permit for Langdon to make
alterations in the building at 7 Stockton
street. Watera and Lillienthal have not
yet testified before the Grand Jury.
Langdon was in the liquor business be
fore he came to this City from Chicago,
and did not want to limit his independ
ence by placing himself under particular
obligation to any wholesale liquor firm,
but be found San Francisco conditions
such that powerful influence was required
to break the blockade in the Board of
Supervisors, so he appealed to Lillienthal
& Co. ior assistance. Mr. Waters, the out
side man of the firm, was detailed to take
the matter in hand, and it is said that he
ultimately secured from the Supervisors
the desired privilege.
IflThe connection ot Lillienthal & Co. with
the proceedings was not disclosed to the
Grand Jury until John Curtin gave his
testimony last Monday. It seems from
these incidents now coming to light that
Langdun haa more trouble than a little.
Supervisor Taylor was one of the first of
the board to suspect something out of the
usual line of obstruction. When he got
his facts together he went after his fellow
Supervisors in sledge-hammer style, de
manding to know why this permit was re
fused to a man who proposed to mate
needed improvement and engage in a
business enterprise. So much publicity
was given the matter that the permit was
granted.
It is understood that Judge Sanderson is
now anxious that the present Grand Jury
shall conclude its work and report to him
live days before the lßt of January, so that
during his term as Presiding Judge of the
Superior Court he can impanel two
Grand Junes. When this jury was im
paneled he said to the members that he
would expect them to conclude their in
vestigations by the middle of October.
When that time arrived he expressed sat
isfaction with their work and told them to
proceed further. Now he wants the jury
to finish its work as soon as possible with
out detriment to the public interest so that
he can impanel another Grand Jury be
fore his successor, Judge Slack, becomes
the Presiding Judce.
SANG THE "ELIJAH."
Concert of the San Francisco Oratorio
Society.
The San Francisco Oratorio Society gave
its first concert last night, wheii a really
praiseworthy performance of Mendels
sohn's "Elijah" was presented.
There is no doubt about the excellent
work this society is doing in cultivating
the taste for oratorio. It was not to be ex
pected that a newly gathered chorus could
take up a work like the "Elijan" and sing
the difficult score with the skill and
majesty of choruses that have had years
of oratorio experience. There were por
tions ol the choral singing that had ragged
edges last night, some of the parts pre
ponderated too much, and there were oc
casional differences of opinion between the
orchestra and the chorus as to the exact
moment of the beat.
But for these things not to happen in a
new chorus, unused to oratorio singing,
woula have been a little short of a miracle.
The inequalities will disappear with ex
perience.
There was much to praise in the per
formance last night. The volume of tone
was good, shading was by no means neg
lected, and some of the choral work went
with a good swing. The Baal choruses
were unexpectedly satisfactory and
"Thanks Be to God" was excellently ren
dered.
Homer Henley sustained the part of
Elijah with a good deal of dramatic power.
His voice was scarcely low enough to give
full effect to all the arias, but it was a good
voice, and he used it conscientiously and
artistically. Mrs. Beatrice Priest "Fine's
voice was scarcely dramatic enough for
the part of the widow, but she sang pret
tily, and never forced her tones. Miss
Rowena Tarrand was thoroughly effective
as the youth, and Frank Coffin proved a
satisfactory tenor. Mrs. SedKley-Rey
nolds, the contralto, seemed to imagine
that the art of oratorio singing consisted
in affecting an exaggerated legato.
Considerable credit is due to J. Hamil
ton Howe, the conductor, and to B.
Mollenhauer, the concert-master. The
audience, which was large enough to more
than half fill Metropolitan Temple, re
ceived the performance with marked favor.
A Flaw in the Title.
Every person who owns, or ever faaa
owned, real estate knows what it is to
have a flaw in the title. Whether the
flaw is little or big makes no difference.
The least it can do is to stop the sale of the
property. The most it can do is to plunge
its owner into litigation, from which he
can emerge only with an enormous bill of
costs and attorneys' fees and the possible
loss of his property. In either event the
flaw is certain to cost more in sleepless
nu'hta and apprehensive days than can be
paid (or with money.
As everybody knows, there are two titles
by which real estate may be held. They are
the legal and possessory titles. The latter
is the oldest, being the first title ever recog
nized by civilized mankind. The legal title
is the title as it stands upon the records of
the county where the property is located,
and wherever that title comes in contact
with the possessory title the latter gives
way to it. This is the law, and being the
law it is easily seen why a piece of real
estate having a flaw in the record title is
well nigh worthless. No one desires to
purchase such a piece of property for the
very simple reason that he does not wish
to subject himself to the danger of law
suits and annoyance. So it is that no one
will l>uy a title with a flaw in it.
Title insurance has been invented to re
lieve ttie owners of real estate of the an
noyance of defending their titles against
the assaults of adverse claimants. Once
insured, all an owner need do is to keep
the company which insures him informed
of all attempts which may be made to
cloud his title and the insurer does the
rest.
The California Title Insurance and
Trust Company insures titles and defends
them. Starting with an apparently clear
record, its policies guarantee the title
against every latent defect, which includes
lawsuits, the interests of minor heirs,
creditors, false impersonation, invalid
powers of attorney, insane grantors, forged
deeds and the various other devices by
which adverse claims are sought to be
established in court.
A person owning real estate without an
insurance policy upon the title is in the
position of a man \yho does not carry hre
insurance upon his house. There is, how
ever, a material difference between title
insurance and fire insurance. The latter
requires an annual premium. The former
is a continuous risk during the lifetime of
the insured for a single premium. *
Liquor His Ruin.
John Mitchell, a carpenter, living at 1264
Eighteenth street, who was serving a twenty
four hours' sentence for drunkenness, had a
warrant served upon him yesterday rnorning
charging him with threatening to kill his wife
Mary. He is a. capable workman, but liquor
has got the better of him and when drunk he
abuses his wife. On Monday he chased her
out of the house with a knife and threatened
to carve her. His wife and children are in a
destitute condition and the latter will be
cared for by the charitable societies.
Union League Club.
A meeting of the Union League Club was
held la.st evening to select a committee to
nominate officers for the ensuing year. The
committee will submit its report at a meeting
to be held two weeks hence. The honor of
serving as president of the club during a
National campaign year is one of the highest
that the organization can confer and there will
be no lack of aspirants for the position.
