ASHWOR TH IS UNPOPULAR.
Mission Property-Owners Criti
cize the Street Sup
erintendent.
ONE MOST UNSIGHTLY SPOT.
Taxpayers Prove That Their Com
plaints Have Been Com
pletely Ignored.
Superintendent of Streets Ashworth la
wot popular in the Mission. Neither is his
assistant, Andy D< novan. Property
owners all along the line say and stand
ready to prove that these .officials are not
doing their duty and have not done it
since their tenur. t:i -
In many :ih of Marker street
this feeling against the heads of the Street
Department has risen to a high pitch, and
many and uncomplimentary are the things
said of Ashworth and his assistant. Par
ticularly is this ■ the vicinity of
Mission ami Eugenia streets, where un
sightly and unhealthy piles of debris and
putrefying water and filth attest most elo
quently the neglect Of the Street Depart
ment of San Francisco.
In Sunday's issue of The Cam, Mr. Ashr

Mr. Donovan should go down and inter
view the "neighborhood," as a Call man
did yesterday. He would soon ascertain
how well satisfied it is with the Stree* I>< -
pertinent. Mr. Ashworth may also find
out how well the "neighborhood" is satis
lied with his department if he will only
read the following letter sent by the "neigh
borhood" to Mayor Sntro on June 25 last:
To hi.* Honor, Mayor Sutio : We f tbeonder-
Eigned property-owners on Mission and Eu
genia streets, lies of you to relieve us of a pub
lic nuisance and a public obstruction on Mis
sion and Eugenia streets. Tbere is fifty feet
front on Mission street, with about two ieet of
dirt piled up ou the sidewalk, obstructing
travel to men, women and children. Last De
cember Mr. Ashivorth was notified of this Rnd
his deputies also, but it seems that Mr. Ash
worth and the owner of this particular prop
erty defies the community and the law. The
Eidewalk on Eugenia street is also blockaded,
and ii: rotten, stagnant water from this lot is
running out on the street.
Your Honor i? chairman of the Board of
Health, and we beg of you to send a man from
your office 10 see for himself and report the
way we are treated. Hoping you will relieve
us of this deathtrap of sickness and disease, we
are P. RbillY,
and eleven other property-owners.
In to thia communication
T. Graden was detailed by Mayor
Siitro to investigate. He did so at once,
and on .Mine 28 reported as follows:
The ■ mtalned In tali letter are
not overstated. The condition of thia lo
cality is an outrage and a menace to health.
I would suggest thai a letter be sent to Mr. Asii
worth and the Board of Health, expressing the
in strong langimi, r <\
On top of this came Mr. Ashworth's
enl in Sunday's Caj-l that t h«?
"neighborhood was indignant" at Mr.
:.. Yesterday the • 'neighborhood
liad read Mr. Ashwnrth's interview and it
sat down. 'it once to write a letter 10 The
Call over the signature of P. Rellly of
d street, who baa the misfcr
tune to live next door to the monunien,t to
Mr. Ash worth 'a official neglect In it he
takes occasion to thank the Mayor and Mr.
Gaden for their efforts to remedy matters
and states that the property-owners are
tired of asking Ashworth to remove the
obstruction.
In conclusion, he asked that a reporter
be sent out to investigate the matter. In
compliance with this request, a reporter
called yesterday afternoon and was con
ducted around the premises by Mr. Reiliy
and Mr. Geherty. It took only the most
cursory glance to establish the truth of the
assertions made by the property-owners.
The place was the only blot on as fair a
neighborhood as the City possesses, and a
man with half a nose needed but one whiff
of the air to realize the disease-breeding
properties of the stagnant pools surround
ing the building.
•It's a disease-breeding nest," said Mr.
Reiliy. "In these days, when the sun is
hot. the stenches arising are intolerable,
and yet we seem helpless to remedy the
matter. "We have tried every means in
our power to persuade Mr. Ashworth to
do his duty and he has paid no attention
to us. It ruins our property, and is a
blotch on the neighborhood."
"Do you think it's a fair deal," ex
claimed Mr. Geherty, somewhat excitedly,
"that such a nuisance should be allowed
to remain? Do you think that Ashworth
or his deputies are doing their duty? Not
much. They don't pretend to do their
duty. They are robbing the taxpayers;
that's ail there is about it. You can say
for me that when Mr. Ashworth says we
are satistied with the Street Department
he tells a falsehood. We are dis
tinctly dissatislied with him, his deputies
and his department, and the sooner he
knows it the better we'll like it. 1 '
Mr. Gaden, who was seen a little later,
had something to say concerning Mr. Ash
worth's interview.
"Referring to the article in Sunday's
Call," be said, "headed 'Ashworth Indig
nant,' in regard to the nuisance complained
of by numerous property-holders at Mis
sion and Eugenia streets, I would say, for
the purpose of setting myself straight in
the matter, I revisited the locality this
morning and found there a gathering of
indignant citizens writing a letter to The
Call denying every statement made by
Chief Deputy Donovan as being maliciously
fai.se, and in every way doing them a gross
injustice.
"Mr. Ashworih complains that the May
or's office and the Mayors experts are ma
liciously, willfully and inexcusably igno
rant of public proceedings, when, really,
31 r. Ashworth is proving every day that
he is absolutely incapable of handling the
problem of streetworK, or the duties de
volving upon him in the ollice of Street
Superintendent. Mr. Ashworth complains
that I am making a personal right against
him, which he knows very well to be un
true. When I was detailed by Mr. Sutro
to look into the public work I was joined
by George Elder, expert for the chairman
of the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors, and we had no trouble in ar
riving at an agreement to work in har
mony for the public good. This, we sub
sequently discovered, was very necessary,
as Mr. Elder has been refused all informa
tion from the Street Department, not
withstanding repeated requests directly
from the chairman of the Street Commit
tee of the Supervisors.
"My visit to Mission and Eugenia streets
was made in response to a letter received
at the Mayor's office, signed by Mr. Reiliy
and other property holders, calling his
Honor's attention to the nuisance. As a
proof that I was not ignorant of public
proceedings the report I made is on rile.
"One of my first moves when I entered
upon this work for Mayor Sutro was to
call upon Mr. Ashworth with a letter of
introduction from his Honor. I then asked
Mr. Ashworth to allow me to co-operate
with him in every way, and that he should
do likewise with the Mayor's office to see
that good work was done. Mr. Ashworth
at the outset appeared indignant at, what
he called, such interference, and said the
Mayor had nothing to do with any assess
ments or final acceptances further than to
certify the signature.
"Were Mr. Ashworth in close touch with
the Mayor's office as he should be there
would be none of these complaints. The
work would be done and that would end it.
But Mr. Ashworth is not in close touch,
and many letters written him by Mayor
Sutro, calling attention to complaints
coming into the office, have been given no
attention.
"In one part of his interview, Mr. Ash
worth says he has been looking for a re
port from me, but that it has not reached
bis office for the reason, possibly, that
''Gaden has since discovered that he has
been barking up the wrong tree.' The
facts will bear me out in saying that Mr.
Ashworth is in the very condition that he
accuses nic of being. Perhaps, too, if he
would bark up more trees than he has done
the public would be better satistied with
his administration. One thing is certain,
I am being complimented in every direc
tion, on the street and in the Mayor's of
fice, for the work that is being done for the
taxi avers.
"The most extraordinary part of the
whole proceeding is that Mr. Ashworth
supposes that I had a personal grievance
and a lL'ht against him and his depu-
That is not the case. Out
side of public duties, I can meet Mr.
Ashworth on as friendly a footing as any
man that I know in the City. I simply
have a duty to perform and report things
aa 1 'find them. The controversies
that have so frequently been ventilated in
the newspapers have emanated entirely
from the weak points I hiive discovered in
the administration of affairs in the street
department. For this Mr. Ashworth
cannot blame me, while he may blame him
self."
BAGMAKERS ON A STRIKE
A Walk-Out at Ames & Harris'
Factory Yesterday
Morning.
The Eoys Want More Money and
Refuse to Pay for a Broken
Machine.
An incipient infantile strike occurred at
the bag factory of Ames & Harris on the
corner of Sacramento and Drum streets
yesterday morning.
The labor and ultra-sociali6tic spirit of
the age is rampant for the time being
among the outwalking youngsters for
merly in the employ of Ames & Harris.
Actinc under the directions of a committee
composed of masters Frank Nolan, Thomas
A mams. Thomas Parkinson and Jerry
Mack about liftecn of t!:e juvenile bag
manufacturers went out .Saturday nii, r M.
They appeared in a body yesterday
morning and through the committee
ynu^ht to bring about an adjustment of af
fairs. The boys claimed they irid been
unjustly treated ; they itanted an advance
in wages, and a kick in concert was made
at the tine of $3 imposed on one of the boys
for breaking a machine, the repair of
Which, it is said, cost less than $1.
The youngsters marched on the office
with solid front and warlike mien and de
manded satisfaction and redress instunter.
Their insistence was strong.
A laugh greeted the youngsters, and
their ire fell like the nicrinrv after a Jan
uary sundown. The foreman informed
them that thfir services were no longer
needed, and that they would have to settle
for the broken machine on the under side
of the great hereafter.
Their spirits were dampened, but being
true Americans and imbued with the fever
of labor's equality and a stand-off with
capital, they maintained an upper lip that
was stiff and fulfilled all the promises and
conditions of a walk-out.
Mr. Ames smiled good-naturedly when
as-ked about the incipient strike. "It is
all due," he said, "to one discordant spirit
we have had in the factory for some time
Boys will be boy;;, though, and the
worst I can wish them is that they will
take home their experience as a wholesome
i. So, we have never had a strike on
our hands and I don't think this could
hardly be dignified by such a name."
The boys arc earnest, however, and con
tinue to demand justice.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1895.
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES
Red Dick Proved a Good Thing
in the Last Race of
the Day.
BACKED DOWN FROM 12 TO 1.
Through Superior Jockeyshlp Hln
richs Landed Gold Bug Win
ner In a Drive.
Piggott rode the winners ot the first two
events, and was second in two of the following
races.
Walter J, the good-looking son of that prom
ising sire imp. True Briton, ran a remarkably
fine race from where he got off. Away in tha
first flight he could hardly have lost.
A rumor was in circulation yesterday at the
tract that the meeting would close down for a
while owing to a lack of entries, but lacks con
firmation. There is some talk, however, of re
turning to the old regime; racing but fivedays
a week.
After Gold Bug had won the fourth heat
Billy Beverly, the bookmaker, rushed down to
the stand intending to bid up the sprinter,
who belongs to an aged owner with but little
means. Wyatt Earp held a short consultation
with Mr. Beverly, and the bookmaker returned
to the ring without carrying out his intention.
About three years ago old Guadaloupe,
to whom "taking the sticks" was then for
eign, was what is known in turf parlance
a "good thing" in a five-furlong dash run
in the mud over the Bay District track.
Opening in the betting at 40 to 1, he was
backed down to 6 to 1 at post time and won
in a gallop. His owner, C. W. Chappell,
was several days cashing his numerous
winning tickets. Since that time until
yesterday Mr. Chappell has done nothing
to startle the turf world. In the last event
on the card, a cheap five-furlong dash, he
had entered the Montana short-horse Red
Dick, whom he has been reserving for a
soft spot. Opening at twelves, a rapid
transit play knocked his price down to
threes, quicker than it takes time to tell.
The horse from the land of record-breaking
half-breeds won by an eyebrow at the wire,
after having at one time a lead of nearly
eight lengt ns over his field, and the folks
that had the "right thing" cashed their
tickets. The ring was not nit as hard as it
might have been, for very few of the pen
cilers at present doing business at the
track will take over a $20 bet on o horse
unless he ''hears something" from his out
side man.
The attendance, of which there has been
a noticeable falling off of late, was light
and a poor lot of entries furnished an un
exciting clay's sport.
In the opening event O'Bee, the 7 to 5
favorite, ran over the top of the three
"dogs" in against him, finishing the five
and a half furlongs in 1 KJSJf, Ike L was a
handy second over My Charm.
Starter Ferguson experienced much
trouble in getting the eight youngsters
away that lined up in the two-year-old
event at half a mile. When the flac finally
fell the 8 to 5 favorite, Clara Johnson,
showed in front followed by the Gladette
gelding and Britannia. The result was
problematical as they turned into the
stretch, Lady Leinster rillv, Don Pedro,
the Linda Vista filly and \\ alter J show
ing prominently in'the front rapk. Well
on toward home the Linda Vista filly
shook her tieid off and won by a length
from Walter Jin 50]^ seconds. Don Pedro
was a good third. The winner went to the
post at f> to 1. The favorite fell out of the
race soon after the start.
Heavily backed at 6 to 5 and 11 to 10
Normandie was considered a certainty for
the third race, a nille run, but the best she
could do was to finish second to Miss Gar
vin the, 5 to 2 second choice, who took the
lead from Greenback Jr. before entering
the stretch and won easily in I:42J£. Clau
dius was a good third.
The only race to cause a flatter of ex
citement was the finish in the fourth, a
live-furlong sprint. Everything in the race
outside of Banjo and Tillie B. who were a
drug on the market, received support. At
post time Lady Jane, whose price had re
ceded in the betting, had a slight call over
Myron with '6% to 1 against him. Gold
Bus and Sir Richard were found next in
the order named.
Myron took the lead soon after they
were dispatched and appeared to have the
race up his sleeve as he entered the stretch
with an open lead of two lengths over Lady
Jane. Tiilie 8, who was here second, fell
out of it and Sir Richard and Gold Bug
started after the leaders. After somewhat
of a bumping match the last hundred
yards, Hinrichs, by good riding, got Gold
hug past the wire by a close margin, finish
! ing a head in front of Sir Richard, with
Myron next the rail a close third. The
judges disqualified Sir Richard for the
place, which gave Myron second money
and Lady Jane third.
The 2 to 1 favorite, Tuxedo, finished sec
ond to Rev Dick in the last race, although
catching the fastly dying sprinter at every
jump. Wild Rose was third.

JOHN DAGGETT'S PARTY.
Some Celebrated Democrats
at the Palace
Hotel.
Forty Millions of Gold and Silver
Out of Sight In the
Mint.
John Daegett, Superintendent of the
Mint, accompanied by Congressman Ma
guire, ex-Congressman Geary, John Boggs
and Dennis Spencer, strolled into the court
of the Palace Hotel last evening. This as
semblage of noted California Democrats
excited some curiosity, but inquiry dis
closed the fact that no political signifi
cance was attached to the gathering. They
called to see H. W.Van Sender and take him
to Marchand's for dinner, but the private
secretary of Mr. Carlisle was at the thea
ter.
It was suggested that these illustrious
Democrats were inclined to celebrate the
advent into this world of the third Cleve
land bahy, but incidental to tbe celebra
t'on it was surmised that some influence
would be rallied In behalf of Dennis Spen
cer for attorney of the Hoard of Health.
Mr. Spencer very frankly says that he
would accept the office, and iiis friciuls
assert that he is entitled to it. The selec
tion, according to Mr. Suencer's idea, rests
wholly with Governor Budd, who has
authority under the law to appoint the
attorney.
John 'Daggett feels elated over the fact
that tlie money in the Mint has been
counted and found correct. "I have a
clean bill of health,"' said the Superintend
ent, "which is very gratifying considering
the scandal at the (.'arson Mint und the
close investigations everywhere else.
"The process of counting was thorough,
being conducted by two representatives of
the Government and two of my own. This
accounting is made annually of the work
ing material on hand. The $40,000,000 in
the vaults when I took the office were not
counted. The vaults are sealed with the
Government seals and may not be opened
until my successor is appointed. Of this
amount'silver is represented to the value
of eleven million ounces, purchased under
the Sherman Act."
John Daggett said politicians who were
disappointed did not trouble him. He had
given a bond to manage mint affairs and
proposed to conduct the office as his
judgment dictnted.
Charm 7
A Bicycle Thief.
George Rodders, a waiter, was booked at the
City Prison last night by Detective Handley
on the charge of grand larceny. On June 25
Frank Ryan was riding a bicycle on Van Npsr
avenue, when Rodgers knocked him off it and
rode away on It. Another charge will likely
be preferred ngninst him for selling a bicycle
that he had hired from a cyclery.
The grocer sends some other brand of
baking powder simply because it costs him
so much less, and he can make more profit
by seling it than the Royal. The Royal is
made from the very finest and purest ma
terials and costs much more than any other
brand, which accounts for its superiority,
although it is sold to consumers at the
same price.
