Rain Causes a Postponement
of the Fabiola Mayday
Fete.
Will be held on may 11.
A Restaurant-Keeper Loses Cashier
and Money— Thomas H. B.
Varney Sued.
Thousands of people wheeled or rode
Cut to the Oakland Trotting Park yester
day to see the floral parade and bicycle and
horse races of the Fabiola Mayday fete,
The Ever-Important Policeman.
[Sketched at the Oakland Track yc3ttrday.]
and as many returned without having wit
nessed the events which had been adver
tised to occur.
Rain began to fall early in the morning,
and by 10 o'clock a heavy downpour had
commenced, and even the most hopeful
saw that the celebration was impossible.
Though loth to succumb to the elements,
the management was compelled to post
pone the various events, and set May 11 as
the day for the celebration.
All of those who attended with their
decorated carriages for the parade were in
terviewed by the committee of arrange
ments, and each one expressed a willing
ness to decorate a second time and appear
in the parade, which is intended to be one
of the chief events of the day.
Numerous cyclists assembled at the track
to take part in the races, but on viewing
tie track concluded that it was unsafe, and

[Sketched by a "CaW artist at the Oakland Track yesterday.]
accepted the arrangement of the manage
ment to appear one week from Saturday
and compete for the prizes.
The postponement falls particulary hard
on those who had decorated their car
nages, for some cf the participants spent
hundreds of dollars in floral displays in
the hope of gaining honors and were com
pelled to strip their vehicles without giv
ing the public a chance to view them.
One of the handsomest equipages which
went to the track was that of Mr?. F. W.
Myers, on which P. J. Keller had lavished
a wealth of golden fleece, acacias and roses.
Bin. Isaac L. Requa's buckboard, which
went to the track in spite of the rain, at
tracted much attention.
W. G. Hensbaw braved the rain and
drove his four-in-hand decorated with
yellow marguerites to the grounds.
Mrs. George C. .Perkins, wife of the Sen
ator, accompanied by her daughter, Miss
May Perkins, appeared in a four-in-hand
drag decorated with a profusion of mar
fuerites, but after making a turn of the
rack returned to the city.
Q. M. Stolps' carriage, decorated with
pink roses, attracted much attention from
those who remained to see the parade.
Mrs. K. A. Tattle's surrey, decorated
with red, white and pink roses, was a mar
vel of artistic floral skill.
A number'of handsome carriages started
from Alameda to take part in the parade,
but were compelled to return on account of
the rain.
The management of the fete, which was
complaining a few days ago of not having
sufficient time to do the celebration justice,
has determined to make May 11 as much
of a gala day as yesterday would have been
had not the rain intervened, and vrill re
double its efforts to add new attractions to
the programme.
T. H. B. Varney Sued.
Henry H. Pitcher and John Taylor,
trustees of the estate of Thomas Vamcy,
deceased, have sued T. It. B. Varney, tlie
bicycle dealer of San Francisco, for
$23,000.
On May 2, 1891, the defendant, who is
one of the heirs, instructed the plaintiffs to
pay a claim of the Sather Banking com
pany against the estate for $23,000, giving
his note for the same amount.
Since then he has refused to pay the
note, hence the suit.
Lost Cashier and Money.
J. W. Eubanks, proprietor of the Dafry
Kitchen, a Seventh-street chop-house, is
mourning the loss of $40 and his cashier,
Mrs. Jennie Tuttle, who, he alleges, le
vanted with the cash. Mrs. Tuttle had
been employed in the restaurant for two
month? a"nd was left in charge of the cash
register, containing $-10, yesterday.
On returning from the city the propri
etor missed both money and employe. Mrs.
Eubanks formerly ran an employment
agency in San Francisco. A warrant for
her arrest has been placed in the hands of
the police.
Xew Board of Health.
Mayor Davie has appointed the follow
ing members of the Board of Health: Dr.
B. W. Rodger*. Dr. W. W. Beckwith and
Dr. Sarah D. I. Shuey to fill the offices va
cated by Drs. Pinkerton, Pratt and Foster.
The new members control the patronage
of the board, and will appoint a new
Health Officer and Sanitary Inspector. It
is anticipated that the new board will ad
vocate a garbage crematory for Oakland.
Chose to Go to Jail.
When Justin R. Rice, the street preacher,
was called up in the Police Court yester
day to be sentenced for obstructing the
street, the Judge fined him $10, and his
wife, vrho was likewise convicted, was
fined the same amount.
Rather than pay the fines, the Rices
elected to go to jail."
Judge Wood then decided that it would
be working a hardsnip on their children to
deprive them of their parents' care, and
suspended judgment until the pending
case of the Salvation Army is decided.
ALAMEDA.
The new house of worship of the First
Baptist Church on Santa Clara avenue,
near Benton street, will be dedicated next
Sunday afternoon. The first service in the
church was held last Sunday, with Rev.
Mr. Sutherland in the pulpit. The dedica
tory service will be conducted by the Rev.
Mr. Whittaker of the Twenty-third-avenue
Baptist Church, and will commence at 3
o'clock p. m. Rev. W. T. Jordan, who was
lately called to the church as its pastor,
has been very sick for more than four
weeks. He has been at Willows, Yolo
County, for three weeks, but the change
has not benefited his health. The ailment
is affecting his heart.
A Chinese Nuisance.
The Board of Health will be presented
with a petition to-morrow evening request
ing that the Chinese house on the Sather
estate, near Mound street and Lincoln ave
nue, be declared a nuisance. A number of
residents in that neighborhood complain
that the Chinese hut is a decided detriment
to their property. The owner of the hut is
a vegetable-grower, and recently had a
quarrel with a fellow-Chinese and cut him
on the head with a cane. When the offi
cers visited the place they found a China
man suffering from a loathsome disease,
and another smoking opium.
Defects in the Dynamos.
The City Trustees have examined the
new incandescent system of electric lights,
and are >atisried that the machinery is not
what it was represented to be. The de
fects soon became apparent, conspicuously
in the sparking and flashing of the dyna
mos and the constant wearing out of* the
brushes, keeping the electrician busy regu
lating what were claimed to be automatic
regulating dynamos. The result of the in
spection emphasized the reports of the ex
perts, who pronounced the defects in the
i dynamos of such a nature that they cannot
| be remedied.
Electric Road Extension.
A force of men will commence work this
\ morning laying the new track for the elec
tric railway through San Jose avenue
westerly from Park street. The franchise
i provides for a single-track line from Park
I street through San Jose avenue to Morton
, street, thence to San Antonio avenue, west
to Ninth street and north to Santa Clara
I avenue. The length of the new line ap
proximates two miles.
Her r on to Lecture.
Rev. G. D. Herron, about whose views
there has been much controversy among
the clergy, will deliver a series of lectures
on the "Christian State — a Political Vis
ion of Christ," in the Congregational
church from May 7 to 12.
BEBXELEY.
A burglary took place at the meat mar-
I ket of George Gropp, on Dwight way, near
Shattuck avenue, early yesterday morning.
The thieves entered the establishment
through a rear window by cutting away
the screen and turning the fastener. The
empty money-drawer in the counter was
taken out and left on the floor.
The burglars then proceeded to open the
safe. By working at the combination they
succeeded in opening it without the assist
ance of explosives. Nothing of value was
found in it, as Mr. Gropp had taken all his
spare cash to the bank a few days before.
Sawow Kgcape.
A man by the name of Adams had a
very narrow escape from death while at
tempting to stop a runaway team on
Tuesday evening.
.1. Creed of Berkeley had taken a party
of friends to Oakland to witness the bicycle

horses at a corner for a few minutes. The
team, being high spirited, broke loose and
ran away, and in the attempt to stop them
Adams was knocked down and quite seri
ously hurt.
Tuition Fee.
It has been hinted that hereafter a tuition
fee of $50 a year will be charged by the
university on account of the extremely
large attendance, the lack of accommoda
tions and the scarcity of funds with which
to pay the additional number of instruct
ors needed in the departments.
The proposition has caused considerable
stir in coilcge circles, but no definite ac
tion has been taken in relation to the mat
ter.
jliiE SAN FBANCISCO CALL, THUJiSDAV, MAY 2, 1805.
MORE POLICE PROTECTION
Business Men Favor a Sub
stantial Increase of the
Force.
TAXES SHOULD NOT FIGURE.
The Department Believed to Be
Efficient by Those Who Op
pose the Scheme.
The business community of San Fran
cisco is in favor of increasing the police
force of this City to whatever extent the
Police Commissioners and the Chief of
Police think necessary. The matter of in
creased taxes seems to cut no figure so long
as sufficient police protection is secured.
The Board of Supervisors favor an in
crease in the force and has really been
waiting to learn the sentiment of the
heavier taxpayers and the merchants be
fore fixing the tax levy and taking steps
to increase the force by 125 new men.
The Grand Jury, which is dealing with
all sorts of questions of public interest
besides finding indictments against crimi
nals, will probably recommend in its final
report that the police force be increased.
A large number of the prominent tax
payers were seen yesterday. Some bad not
looked into the question deep enough to
express a good opinion, but the majority
were decidedly in favor of the proposition.
Those who had carefully considered the
subject as one of interest to taxpayers and
merchants were virtually unanimous in
favor of granting Chief Crowley's desire.
The few who were found to have adverse
opinions believe that the present force has
done such efficient work in the past that it
needs no increase.
The general feeling is*, however, that the
new men appointed be taken on some sort
of probation, so that the police authorities
can become conversant with their ability
before making them regular officers. At
the present time the Commissioners, as a
rule, know little about the new men's fit
ness for their position and it sometimes
occurs that men are appointed who make
poor officers.
A good idea of the feeling of the business
community in regard to the matter can be
gleaned from the following interview?:
General W. H. Diruond, of Williams,
Dimond & Co., said :
I am strongly in favor of an increase in the
Police Department. I believe that we have the
best police and fire departments in the
world, but the present police force is too small
to cover all the territory which mnst be guard
ed. The police did so well in the late strike
trouble that I believe In giving the authorities
all they ask. They proved themselves most
efficient". They know what they need, and they
should have it. Thy slight increase in taxation
is a matter of uo consequence in comparison
to what good results can be obtained. The old
saying of "a stitch in time saves nine"' is most
true in this case. If Sacramento had had an effi
cient force to guard that city during the strike
last year the State would have been saved
$200,000.
Charles Webb Howard, President of the
Spring Valley Water Works, said :
There is no use of having half a city. If the
necessities of San Francisco authorize it, the
cxtru policemen should be put on. I think
that it will be found on investigation that Sun
Francisco is lacking as greatly in the number
of policemen as in the number of lire pi ugs on
her water mains, and in that latter particular
she has less proportionately than any of the
other large cities in the country.
General W. H. L. Barnes said :
The meter of the present state of the treasury
should rut no figure in this matter. Judging
by the lew officers one inet-'ts in the residence
part of the city and the difficulty one has in
finding a policeman when he i« wanted, I
should pay that the present force was alto
gether inadequate. If it is, it should be in
creased without delay. What would be of almost
as much value would be the weeding out of in
capable officers after the plan adopted by
Chicago.
Huph Craig of the New Zealand Insur
ance Company said:
Chief Crowley has done remarkably well
with his small force. I believe he needs at
least 150 more men. The business men ar?
ready to pay the additional tax for the needed
increase in police protection. We are also
ready to pay extra taxes for bltumeniztd
streets, good "sewers and. above all, a continu
ance of the seawall south from Market street to
the terminus of the new railroad. Then we
could have a belt line road which could deliver
goods to warehouses and our stores at a greater
saving than the improvements would cost.
Frederick G. Voss of Voss, Conrad &
Co., insurance agents, said:
I most certainly favor the proposed increase
in the police force. There is no protection in
the Western .Addition. It is a nice neighbor
hood, but that does not prevent footpads from
going there to plunder people because there is
a lack of police protection. The beats of the
police are too long and the police too few.
There is really no protection to the city from
4A.M. to noon. An increased force will change
these conditions materially. The additional
tax should not be given the slightest thought.
J. W. Raphael, president of Raphael's,
The police force could be doubled with ad
vantage. The outlying districts are now so
mcagcrly protected that a dozen men might
be murdered and no one discover it for hours.
This is no fault of the patrolmen. They do
theirduty, butare expected to cover too much
ground.
George Whittel, manager of the Luning
estate, is in favor of an increased police
force as a necessity.^ He said:
I am in favor of putting on more men, for the
City is nearly four times as large as when the
present force was organized, and the police
nave not been increased in proportion. Their
beats are too long even as it is, and as a man
can only .see just, so much any way the police
we have now are bound to rai^s a great many
things which they ought to know, merely be
canse their beats are too long for one man to
patrol. In the Richmond district they have
practically no police protection at all, and that
part of the City should be patrolled. 1 think
tiie extra expense is not to be considered with
the necessity of more patrolmen.
Charles G. Lathrop, manager of the Stan
ford estate, is heartily in favor of more
patrolmen. He said:
Out in the Richmond district, where I live,
we have no police at all. The city is too big to
be patroled by the force we have, 'and it should
be increased, as the Chief has a^-ked for it.
My neighbors and myself are now paying for an
extra watchman, »nd he in doing just the duty
that the polio 1 is supposed to do. But as it is
now their beats are so long they cannot prop
erly patrol them, and, therefore, they do not
see any more than a little of what is going on.
The force should be increased, I think, for it is
not large enough as it is.
Captain Charles Goodall of Goodall,
Perkins & Co., said:
I confess that I don't know much about the
police force of San Francisco. Chief Crowley
ought to know whether or not his 500 men
are sufficient to patrol the city properly. If
they are not, then without question the num
ber should bo increased.
Charles Holbrook, president of Hol
brook, Merrill & Stetson, said:
I have not heard this matter discussed and
know nothing of the police needs of the city.
It 6eeins to me the city had better pay for its
provision! before contracting new obligations.
still, I would not want to see any part of the
city go unprotected.
George Easton of Easton, Eldridge &
Co., said:
If there is a necessity for more policemen
the Supervisors should appoint them, by all
means. Tlie city covers & great deal more
ground now than most people realize. The
different districts lying on the edge of the city
are not well protected. I think that before
hiring new olticers, though, the Supervisors
should provide for the paying of those they
have nt present.
L. 8. Sherman, president of Sherman
Clay & Co., said:
The police, it seems to me, have patrolled the
city well. The awfnl crimes of the past few
months were not caused by lack of police pro
tection. If there were a great influx of crim
inals, or unusual violence or riots in the city,
I would advise an increase in the force.
Daniel Meyer said:
I have not allowed my min<i to be bothered
with municipal matters. I have too much else
to do. I pay my taxes and there I let it end.
I don't know whether more policemen are
necessary now or not. If they are? Well— if
they are I think wed better -wait another year
till we get out of our present hole of despon
dency before we appoint them.
Louis Lebenbaum of Goldberg, Bowen &
Lebenbaum said:
I live near O'Farrell and Webster streets, and
I haven't seen a policeman in a month, I think.
At present we have not enough officers to give
good protection to the City. It is my opinion
that we cannot have too efficient a police
force. Any improvement in it should be wel
comed.
Achille Roos, of Roos Brothers said :
I have not felt the necessity of more officers.
If we need more policemen they should be ap
pointed, thougn.
James S. Angus, who is ore of the trustees
of the Fair estate, says the Fair interests
have always had sufficient police protec
tion , and reasoning from that he cannot see
the necessity for any increase in the force.
He said :
Our buiidings have always been well
looked after, and we have never felt any need
of more men on the force. Of course what the
needs of other localities may be, and what is
the capacity of the present force to patrol the
city in other districts, Ido not know, but we
have always had police pcotection enough
with the present force.
I. J. Truman of I. J. Truman <fc Co. is one
of those who think the present force is
large enough for all needs. He said:
We have police enough for all present needs
and as the City is now in such a financial
tanele I see no necessity for increasing the ex
pense. There are now 450 men on the force,
and if they are all made to do their duty I
think they form a sufficient force to patrol the
city.
P. N. Lilienthal, the banker, said:
Our police foroe is the best in the United
State?. As they have taken care of everything
that has come along I think the number of offi
cers :s sufficient for the present.
A. A. Hooper of Hooper <fe Jennings,
wholesale grocery and provision dealers,
said:
Whatever additional taxes there would be to
provide for an increase of the police force
would be money well spent. The lorce is not
large enough now in case of trouble. In fact it
is not large enough to properly guard the dis
tricts when the City is quiet. The police have
the full confidence of the business community
at least, whatever other inhabitants of the City
may think. We realize that they have taken
good care of everything that hus come up, but
we believe they have worked harder than was
reasonable to expect ol them, and luck was also
with them. When the strike was on the West
ern Addition was necessarily left uncovered,
and burglars and footpads had a good chance.
That they did not avail themselves of the
chance was the citizens' luck. The police force
was too «mall to do the necessary patrolling
then. I believe New York City, which is slight
ly smaller in urea than Francisco, has 4000
policemen. Of course there is no comparison
as to the population, but the same amount of
territory has to be covered, and there is no
reason why San Francisco should only have
one-tenth the number of policemen New York
has. Besides the 4000 policemen the firemen
of New York have to do patrol duty.
E. R. Lilienthal, the wholesale liquor
merchant, said :
I am most favorable to the proposition to in
crease the police force. In fact I have heeu an
advocate ot it for a number of years.
William Cluff, the wholesale grocer,
said :
I am in favor of an increase in the police
force so long as the department can be kept
out of politics. It womd be far better as a
business proposition for the commercial men
to pay an increased tax so that a sufficient
number of policemen could be obtained to
guard their property than to have to pay for
special watchmen. There are too few police
oflieers.
Daniel Roth of Roth, Blum & Co., hog
butchers and pork packers, said :
I believe in increasing the police force if it Is
necessary, and I believe it is. The increased
tax should cut no figure.
William Haas of Haas Bros., wholesale
groceries and provisions, said:
I look open the proposition to increase the
police force most favorably. The City certainly
needs more policemen. Other cities have a
much larger force proportionately. The tax
cuts no figure.
Paul Breon of Wheaton, Breon <£ Co.,
wholesale dealers in provisions and dairy
products, said:
I seldom see a policeman where I live out on
California street. I believe the force should be
increased. 1 used to take walks in the even
ings as exercise aftsr my day's work la the
store, but Ido not do so any more. Footpads
have too good a chance out in the Western Ad
dition, where there are not enough police
men.
Joseph Getz of Getz Brothers, wholesale
dealers in dairy produce and provisions,
said :
I would be willing to pay $25 a year more
tax if I felt sure of good police protection
where 1 live, at "Ellis aud Franklin streets.
That Is a well-settled part of town, and I would
like to know that a policeman parsed my house
at least once every twenty-tour hours. We
must have more police and better protection,
though we have been very fortunate in the
past.
E. W. McCarthy of McCarthy Brothers,
wholesale dealers in teas, coffees and
spices, said:
I strongly believe in an Increase in the num
bers of policemen in this City, and a substan
tial increase as well. I believe we hay Uie
best of Police and Fire departments, but more
police are a great necessity. I have watched
the work of the Police Department lor years
and have noted its efficiency. I think it, as
well as the Fire Departmeut, is the best in this
or any other country, but they could well be
strengthened,
I know by the municipal reports of Eastern
Cities that the difliTence proportionally in the
numerical strength between the cities of the
KastandSan Francisco as regards the police
department is a very wide. one. Taking into
consideration the work performed ours is fur
in advance of police departments in Eastern
cities. The fact that the police have done so
weli in this City is no reason why we should
not have a force sufficient to properly cover all
the territory. The increased tax would be
Kindly paid by the people in order to gain a
feeling of security. In Chicago there are tfOOQ
policemen, in round numbers. Though of one
third the population of Chicago we have but
47;"> officers. This is a great seaport City, and
the force should be increased so that the large
territory could be properly protected.
C. M. Keeney, general manager of the
Pacific Ilollin g M ills, is one of the strongest
advocates in favor of the proposition to
increase the police force. He said :
There is not the least deubt in the world that
we need a larger police force. All of the busi
ntefc" men are In favor of it as the City is not
hall protected. The increase in the tax would
cut no figure with even the heaviest taxpayers
as they would feel more secure that tlieir prop
erty would be safe.
LOVE'S DESPAIR.
W. A. Miller Breaks the Windows of
the House Where the Object of
His Affection Lives.
\V. A. Miller, who says he is connected
with a wealthy family in Buffalo, N. V.,
is madly in love with a young woman who
lives at 317 Ellis street.
Unfortunately for him his love is not
reciprocated. This fact has not had the
effect of cooling his passion, but has
rather intensified it. His persistence and
ardor frightened the object of his affec
tions and she gave him to understand that
his absence would be preferable to his
company. Finally she ordered him not to
call upon her again, as she would posi
tively refuse to see him.
Miller called at the house on Tuesday
night and was denied admittance. He
nleaded, but in vain, and in his anger he
broke some of the windows and created a
general disturbance.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Emily Heimler,
the landlady of the house, appeared in
Judge Joachimsen's court and swore out
a warrant for Miller's arrest on a charge
of malicious mischief.
The Meyer Will Case.
The hearing of the contest of the will of
Charles Meyer, late proprietor of the Wigwam
Theater, was commenced by Judge Slack
yesterday. Little that has not been published
was developed. The afternoon was chiefly
consumed in reading the deposition of Bertha
Tischbeln, stepdaughter of the testator, by
which it was sought to show that the widow
and sole legatee had been distrusted by Meyer
at the close of his life, and that she hud subse
quently favored "fixing the books" of the
theater. Assistant Revenue Agent Bert M.
Thomas, a creditor of the estate, testified that
Mrs. Meyer had told him that she wanted to
make the Wigwam a "'losing business" after
her husband's death. The presumption that
she had intended to deceive the creditors of
the estate was strenuously combated by Mrs.
Meyer's attorney.
REBUKED THE ATTORNEY
The Second Trial of Louise
Worthington Opens With
a Scene.
HER BABY BORN IN PRISON.
Judge Belcher to Cite B. G. Haskell
for Contempt — Slow
Progress.
The second trial of Mrs. Lonise B.
Worthington for the murder of Henry
Baddeley in April, 1893, opened yesterday
in Judge Belcher's court. Mrs. Worthing
ton shot the man at the Washington-street
wharf as he was about to leave for Stock
ton. She was convicted of murder in the
second degree and was sentenced to twenty
five years' imprisonment. The Supreme
Court has granted her a new trial, and it is
not expected that a conviction will result,
as the principal witness against her has
died.
The hapless woman appeared in court
yesterday carrying her baby, which was
born within prison walls. She sat quietly
throughout the proceedings, her gentle,
shrinking appearance being strongly op
posed to the accepted bearing of one
charged with the crime of murder.
The prisoner was represented by Attor
ney B. G. Haskell, who announced the with
drawal from the case of Attorney Robert
Farrel. Mr. Haskell soon brought down
on himself the wrath of the court. Judge
Belcher, at his request, read the provisions
of the Penal Code on the rights of prison
ers to challenge jurors, but counsel did not
seem satisiie.l that those provisions cov
ered all his client's rights. He remarked:
•'I shall now, to preserve th_ rights of
the defendant, take an exception to the
failure of the court to sive the instructions
required by law."
"To what refusal do you refer?" asked
Judge Belcher in suprise.
"I decline to answer," said Haskell. "I
simply desire to take advantage of the ex
ception."
The court's indignation was evident and
instant. "Mr. Haskell," said he, "I will
cite you to appear before the court at the
conclusion of the trial to show cause why
you should not be punished for contempt.
This is one trick which the court will not
tolerate for an instant."
Haskell was abashed and endeavored to
apologize and explain, and to obtain a
modification of the Juage's purpose. The
court ordered the parties to proceed with
out further comment.
The tedious work of impaneling a jury
was then proceeded with, only four jurors
having been secured at the close of the
day's proceedings. The line of defense, as
shown by the questions put to talesmen,
will probably be temporary insanity, as ad
vanced in the first trial.
Alleged Frauduleiit Conspiracy.
Suit has been commenced in the Superior
Court by the Eaton, Cole & Burnham Com
pany vs. Fletcher l<\ Ryer, J. A. Maguire, Louis
E. Arnold, Charles S. Arnold, West Coast Plumb
ing Supply Company and others; to recover
$6176 43, "as value 01 goods obtained through
alleged fraudulent conspiracy on the part of
defendant*. The goods were furnished on
credit on the order of Louis Arnold for the
Supply Company, of which Ryer was president.
Ryer and Maguire are charged with evading
liability for the goods by secretly transferring
a controlling amount of stock to Virginia I.
Arnold, mother of Louis and Charles Arnold,
which was paid out of the proceeds ol the
goods furnished by the plaintiff*. The Bather
hanking Company has brought a similar suit
against the same uefendants to recover $4,700
on promissory notes.
