IN THE GREAT PAVILION
The Second Day and Night of
the Mechanics' Institute
and Fair.
STARTING THE BIG ENGINE.
Some of the Exhibitors Are Behind
In the Matter of Preparation,
as Usual.
The side doors of the Mechanics' Pa
vilion were open early yesterday morning
and were kept open all day long for the
purpose of receiving the exhibits of the
tardy exhibitors. Delivery wagons stood
in line, and as fast as one was unloaded
and driven away, another took its place.
Goods were rushed in and piled up in
vacant spaces and all was hustle and
bustle. Within the building there was an
army of mechanics — carpenters, painters
end decorators— and from the activity dis-
played on every side one would suppose
that the exhibitors who received space had
not had two weeks in which to prepare,
but had received notice only the night be-
lore.
The carpenters were busy on the frame
work of booths, decorators were cutting
great bolts of highly colored cloth into
lengths and passing them to assistants,
who wove them into fantastic and artistic
shapes, while painters were swinging
brushes, applying paint wherever there
was room for it.
In machinery hall Ihere were gangs of
mechanics putting up all kinds of ma
chinery. The sawing by the artists in
wood, "the clang of heavy hammers on iron
and the continued tick-tack by the deco
rators produced a racket that at times
during the afternoon unstrung the nerves
of Fritz Scheel when he was leading his
nusicians through some difficult pianis- J
6imo passage. Once or twice the tall
wielder of the baton gave vent to his feel
ings, but as what he said was in a foreign
tongue it was lost to many who were with
in earshot. But all this will change in a
very short time, and before Saturday after
noon everything, the managers hope, will
be in place to please the eye.
Almost at the entrance" on the ground
floor there is going up a chocolate palace
in white columns set off with filets of gold
leaf put on at the rate of a yard a minute.
There was another artist at this place who
was streaking the hair of chubby-faced
cberubims at the head of each column,
and the gum-girl in blue, who was watch
ing him. sighed and exclaimed, "Don't I
wish I had golden hair!"
Near tne bandstand there is a pretty
arrangement of water futerers and im
mense glass columns filled with wuter as
clear as crystal. To eacn of these there is
affixed a faucet, but there are no cups or
glasses, and those who view this display,
that is a temptation to quench thirst, turn
sadly aside saying: "Water, clear, cool
water, so much in sight, but not a drop to
drink."
The Swiss-Italian colony of Asti, Sonoma
County, has considerable space near the
front of the building, in which its agents
are temptingly arranging the products of
the place.
The solitary trout which the night before
occupied one of the tanks of the aquarium
had several companions yesterday and he
swam about as if he was crowded. Adjoin
ing the aquarium there is an exhibit of
Hallidie's wire tramway for transporting
ores, and opposite a rock crotto has been
erected to show the difference between
filtered and unfiltered Spring Valley water.
After looking at this exhibit and having
the mind filled with thoughts of microbes
that gnaw at the vitals one may turn to
the west and become impressed witn an
idea of the future state by resting the eyes
on a group of stately monuments such as
adorn plats in the silent city of the dead.
A cheerful combination, that of nasty,
crawling, tbousand-legged microbes and
tombstones.
The saw exhibit that occupied the west
wall on several previous occasions has
been replaced by a display of all kinds of
tools. Two California industries, exhibits
of which are being put into shape, are con
densed milk and California salt.
The borax display is being fitted up with
numerous electric lights, wl/ich, when
turned on, will make the crystals of which
the columns, slabs and blocks of this
pavilion are constructed scintillate like
Aladdin's diamond cave. One youngster
who was near this exhibit caught sight of
an unused column of crystals, shouted
"Rock candy!" and put his tongue to one
end of it, but it did not take him long to
discover his mistake and cry for water.
There was not a very large attendance
during the afternoon, but those who were
there crowded those portions of the gal
leries nearest the bandstand and listened
to the music. Among the visitors were.
Li Yang Yu, the Chinese Consul-General,
and suite. The Consul wore his robes of
office, and on his face there was an appear
ance of content, probably because be was
away from the disturbing element in the j
Chinese quarter and free from possible |
assault.
Another prominent visitor who wandered
from place to place was Reuben H. Lloyd,
and his attention seemed to be particularly
directed to the displays of bicycles. He
looked at them so intently that it was be
lieved that he was making up his mind to
part with his magnificent black charger,
which he has so often ridden in the park,
and get a bike. After a while he saw the
tiny bike that is ridden by Miss Connell, the
three-and-a-half-year-ola cyclist, which
has already been described* in The Call,
and exclaimed : "That's the one I want to
ride, for if I fall I won't have far to drop."
The University of California is putting
in position in the western end of the art
gallery a fine exhibit of plain and colored
drawings, the work of the students. All
day new pictures were received, and there
were more than the hanging committee
could place on the walls.
The song has it, "What a change in the
morning," but the visitor to the fair last
night exclaimed, "What a change in the
evening!" The artisans had ceased their
labors, and many of the exhibits that were
not ready in the'afternoon had so far been
arranged as to make a creditable showing.
Engineer Larry Dunn started ur the big j
engine, and some of the exhibitors in the j
machinery department who had rushed
late in the afternoon set some of their ma
chines in motion.
The attendance last evening was as large
as might be expected on a second night.
The booths that were ready were filled
with attendants, many of them pretty j

young ladies, which added to the attrac
tiveness. Those who promenaded missed
the floral and fruit display of previous
years, but the directors say that applica
tion for space had been made by persons
who wish to show flowers, ferns and shrubs,
and that soon these will be in place.
The art gallery was a favorite place for
the visitors, who viewed and discussed the
pictures which are already in position.
A number of chairs have Been placed
around the music-stand, but not as many
as visitors would like to see. This is the
choice location, the one where those who
are weary of walking love to rest and watch
the promenader pass to and fro and criti
cize face and dress. The galleries were
well filled with ladies and their escorts.

The Recent County 'Committee
Meeting Upset Their Cal
culations.
Charles G. Clinch of the Forty-first
Assembly District has been appointed a
member of the Republican County Com
mittee to fill the place of Leon Dennery.
The latter does not live in the Forty-first
District, so a vacancy was declared by the
committee at the meeting Tuesday night
last. Mr. Clinch is a member of the firm
of H. C. Dietz & Co. He is on the execu
tive committee of the Board of Yosemite
Valley Commissioners, and is also a mem
ber of the (irand Jury, recently drawn
and organized.
Thomas McDermott, an engineer, has
been appointed to fill the vacancy in the
County <'>immittee, caused by the resigna
tion of "King" McManus of the Twenty
ninth District.
A few days ago facts came to the knowl
edge of leading Republicans, who take an
active interest in municipal affairs which
impelled the belief that Senator Jere Ma
honey, Martin Kelly and Sam Rainey, act
ing on the advice of ex-Boss Dan Burns,
had called a caucus of county committee
men for Wedn-sday evening of this week.
Six members of the committee had con
sented to attend the caucus.
Straight-out, loyal Republicans who
have no political dealings with Democratic
bosses decided to defeat the schemes of
Rainey, Mahoney and Kelly at the very
outset, and so a meeting of the entire com
mittee was called.
A well-known Republican who favors
clean politics said yesterday: "We have
resolved that Democrats shall not get in
and capture the Republican organization.
We are al9O determined that Burns, Ma
honey and Kelly shall not be permitted to
use our organization to trade with Demo
crats in the next campaign. The County
Committee is created to promote Republi
can unity and success, and we want to see
it managed without the interference of
men whose affiliations, sympathies and
schemes are with Democratic bosses."
The Japanese method of lacquering is
said to be at least 2000 years old. Pieces
made ten centuries ago are still exhihited.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895.
HUNTINGTON GOES FREE
AII the Indictments Against
Him Have Been "Nolle
Prosequied."
NO MORE DANGER OF ARREST.
District Attorney Foote Thinks That
There Has Been No Breach
of the Law.
Coll is P. Hnntington can now go and come
as he pleases in California. The indict
ments that hung over his head have been
"nolle prosequied," and unless the United
States Grand Jury, now in session, takes
some steps, there is nothing between the
railroad magnate and liberty.
The indictments found against him by
the previous Grand Jury were dismissed
yesterday by District Attorney Foote, and
Marshal Baldwin, much to his delight, has
no longer to keep watch upon the niove-
ments of the president of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company.
When the United States District Court
was called to order yesterday there were
not a dozen people in the room. Judge
Morrow was on the bench, and the entire
force of the District Attorney's office was
at the desks set apart for the legal profes
sion. Court was opened, and there being
no business of importance to transact, the
District Attorney announced that he had a
! motion to make. He referred to the find
ing of certain indictments against Collis P.
Huntington for having issued a "free pass"
to Frank M. Stone over the lines of the
Southern Pacific, and pointed out the fact
that in New York a Federal Judge had
held that no breach of the law had been
committed, because Stone had only used
the pass to Red Bluff, and had thus no*
gone into another State.
"In the circumstances there was no
breach of the interstate commerce law,"
said Mr. Foote, "and 1 think that a charge
I of issuing a 'free pass' to Mr. Stone will
not hold. The Attorney-General is of the
same opinion, and I have been instructed
to dismiss the cases now pending airaiust
Mr. liuntington."
Judge Morrow was prepared for what
was coming, Hecalle for the affldarita
made by Attorney Monteith and a num
ber of the strikers and then read the evi
dence in the case. The transcript of the
testimony talcen in New York was also
perused by his Honor, and the outcome
of the whole matter was, as The Call
stated yesterday morning, the indictments
were "nolle prosequied."
"The indictments would not hold
water," said District Attorney Foote when
talking about the matter. "•Huntington
was charged with a breach of the inter
state commerce law, and, while he may
have had the frailty intention, it was never
carried out. The pass called for transpor
tation for Frank M. Stone over the
lines of the Southern Pacific Railroad, but
Stone only used it between San Francisco
and Red Bluff. Therefore there was no
interstate question in it. Of course, the
strikers say that Stone was bo'.ind for Ash
land, Or., but then he didn't go there
Had he done so Huntington could have
been prosecuted, but as the ticket was
never used, he cannot. The Grand Jury
brought the indictments against my ad
vice and 1 am .satisfied that in the circum
stances no conviction can be made."
When Judge Morrow made the order
dismissing the cases one or two of the
strikers in court could not suppress a smile,
and one of them remarked in the corridor,
"I told you so," whereat the others
laughed.
The dismissal of the indictments against
Mr. Huntington was one of the matters
discussed by the local lodge of the Ameri
can Railway Union last night.
Acting President Harry A. Knox said it
was rather singular that Huntington
should escape without a trial, and yet the
members of the union, Messrs. Cassidy
and Mayne, had to stand a trial which kent
them bound and fettered by the law for
over rive months. "It was easy to explain
it, however," he remarked. "Huntington
is a rich man and the two members named
were poor."
The following resolution condemning the
authorities for their action was then
adopted, Messrs. C. J. Deseda, Thomas M.
Cantwell and W. W. Craig being chosen a
committee to draft them:
Whereas, The indictments against Collls P.
Huntinfttou have Deen dismissed by the United
States District Court upon motions to nolle
prosequi made by the United States District
Attorney, acting presumably under instruc
tions from th« United States Attorney-General
at Washington; and whereas, said Collis P.
Huntington was duly indicted by the United
Slates Grand Jury for violating the interstate
commerce law, the same law for the alleged
violation of which certain members of the
American Railway Union were not only in
dicted, but were tried by the court at great ex
pense to the people of the United States; and
whereas, it is apparent that the judicial system
of the United States operates ia such a way as
to favor the capitalist, and to discriminate
against the mechanic who has to worit tor his
daily bread; therefore be it
Resolved, By the American Railway Union
No. 345 that we hereby place upon record our
condemnation of the proceedings and manner
whereby said indictments against said Collis P.
Huntington Avere dismissed, and call upon all
labor organizations to take cognizance of the
action of the United States District Court in
this matter.
Carlos J. Deseda, Thomas M. Cantwell, W. W.
Craig, Committee.
MONTEITH'B OPINION.
The Action Denounced as Both Disgusting and
Disgraoefnl.
George W. Monteith, who drew up the
original complaint for T. Roberts, one of
the strikers, against Collis P. Huntington
charging him with a violation of the inter
state commerce act in the Stone pass mat
ter, expressed deep indignation, mixed
with disgust, over the action of the Federal
authorities in dismissing the indictment
aga inst Huntington. He said :
The abandonment of the Huntington prose
ration by the department of justice is simply
disgraceful. A plainer case was never pre
sented to a prosecuting officer, and in this case
the prosecuting officers were both present and
heard the testimony against Huntington given
under oath during the trial of the strikers
Mayne and Cassidy.
They placed Frank M. Stone on the stand as
an interstate passenger, who had been inter
fered with, and now coolly maintain that there
i is no evidence that the pass was used.
The manner in which this case has been
turned and twisted is certainly an object les
son. Can it be possible that C. P. Huntington
can not only violate the law with impunity.but
can snap his finder at an indictment which is
fniined against him?
It is inconceivable that just as he is about to
arrive within the jurisdiction of the court he
can find a District Attorney obsequiously will
ing to save him annoyance by a convenient
dismissal of the indictment. Indeed, the
whole proposition is as disgusting as it is dis
graceful.
AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
Address Issued by the Local American Bail
way Union Last Night.
The following address to the public was
issued by the local American Railway
Union at its meeting last night:
To the fair-minded public of San Francisco: A
little over a year ago several thousand of our
members voluntarily gave up our means of
livelihood in a well-meant endeavor to assist
'Mir fellow workmen in Pullman, 111., who v;ere
being crushed under the exactions of the cruel
and heartless Pullman monopoly.
In doing ru in the midst of "the hard, dull
times, we willingly, to sustain a true principle,
sacrificed the little all of ourselves and our
lamilies.
In the great strike of a year ago we kept our
tempers and preserved order in spite of every
species of aggravation the railroad could
devise. Our course was a grtfat disappoint
ment to the railroad, not in what we did, but
:u what wo failed to do.
The only way they could defeat us was to
turn t he t.de of public sentiment against us by
either our doing something to shock the public
or our being charged with so doing. The
former we would not do, so the plan was laid
to falsely charge us with something that might
result in our ruin.
The horrible "trestle wreck" was brought
into play. We were falsely charged with it, as
the records of the courts show, and one of our
members, a poor, crazy man, was railroaded to
the gallows on perjured testimony.
He-ides all this we have been persecuted,
blacklisted, boycotted and prosecuted on false
charges. All the hideous power of the great
Southern Pacific octopus was used to crush us
and to starve our families.
We have been good citizens; wo have spent
our lives in honest labor, ana because we
flared assert our ristht and our manhood in the
interest of our down-trodden brother workmen
we are made the special objects of all the hate
and venom of the most powerful and at the
same time most cowardly institution on this
coast.
On top of all this the commanding officer of
the United States army here at San Francisco
udds to our load by placing upou the grave of
the poor unfortunate men who died to enable
the great corporation to crush us a black
ghoulish libel charging us with murder.
For shame that the representative of the
great Government of the l.'nited Btates should
stoop to thus inflict so cruel and outrageously
unjust a stab into our backs while we are
struggling for our own and our families' exist
ence.
Before our great God we know, ana our op
pressors know, we are guiltless of that fearful
crime, nnd we take this means of calling upon
every fair-minded citizen, every laboring man
una every friend of labor to come to the Metro
politan Temple, Saturday night, hear us, and
if you believe us, join in one mighty and indig
nant protest against the cowards that stab
from behind and fear the light of day upon
their black deeds.
HAHKY A. KNOX, Acting President.
W. W. Craig, Secretary.
Among the speakers expected to address
the Saturday night gathering are James
11. Barry, George W. Monteith, Taylor
Rodgers, M. MeGlynn, president of the
Labor Council, and Rev. Joseph E. Scott.
Harry Knox said at the meeting of the
union last night that it would be shown at
Metropolitan Temple how the train was
wrecked, by whom it was wrecked and
why it was wrecked. ''We have frequently
tried to do this in the courts,'' he ex
plained, "but the authorities would never
let us have any opportunity. We will now
take the opportunity."
A Tower of Olive Oil.
One of the attractions at the World's Fair
was a huge tower composed of bottles of Cali
fornia olive oil. After the fair was over one
half of the tower was sent to Santa Barbara
and the other half to the State Board of Trade
rooms on Market street. This tower is to be
united again. Yesterday Secretary Filcher
sent word to have the other half packed for
shipment when the main exhibit passes
th rough that section to Atlanta. A large lot of
Southern California exhibits will be seat from
then: at the tame time,
TOMLINS TALKS TO-DAY
An Eminent Exponent of Song
to Address Five Hundred
Pupils.
TEACHERS ABE ENTHUSIASTIC.
His Success on Original Lines Is
Said to Insure Musical De
velopment.
This afternoon William L. Tomlins of
Chicago, the president of the celebrated
Apollo Club there and instructor of 1500
children as a choir for the World's Fair
concerts, will address 500 pupils drawn
from various grammar schools of this
City at Golden Gate Hall. The authorities
of tl/e School Department and the school
teachers are enthusiastic over the results
to be expected from Mr. Tomlins' influ
ence \ipon the schools.
School Superintendent Moulder is in
clined to indorse Mr. Tomlins' work as
likely to be of the highest benefit to the
children. As far as he has been enabled
to judge, Mr. Tomlins is a very competent
man and comes indorsed both by Eastern
authority and his known record.
Deputy Superintendent Babcock has ac
companied Mr. Tomlins. to various gram
mar schools, and has derivedl a high
opinion of the aims of the musician.
"Mr. Tomiins," said he yesterday, "is
more than a singer or an instructor of
song. As I understand him his object is
not so much to teach pupils how to read
music as to direct their attention to what
the soul of song is. What I see or hear in
his singing ia the art of developing the
chili morally and making him a uetter
child at home in every way. He is more
than a mere singing-teacher; he is :ui edu
cator in the broad sense. While I was a
little prejudiced against him at first I have
learned to feel that we are to be congratu
lated on having Mr. Tonilmi here, even
for so short a time. Ithinkitwil! benefit
us greatly.' 1
All the teachers interviewed expressed
the greatest enthusiasm on the subject of
the jiroposed lectures. Many of them have
banded together to take private lessors
from Mr. Tomlins in the art ot instructing
in music, and are looking forward to de
riving substantial results. Among them
are teachers from the Clement, Broad
way, Deuman, Pacific Heights, Hamilton,
Crocker, Hearst, John Swett, South Cos
mopolitan, Mission Grammar, Spring Val
ley and other schools.
Elisha Brooks, principal of the Girls'
High School, has arranged for Mr. Tom
lins to give a lecture to the pupils twice a
week, the first to take place tomorrow
morning at 9:45 o'clock. In Bpeaking of
the matter yesterday Mr. Brooks said:
"1 don't know Mr. Tomlins, but I think
the project an excellent one. The whole
school wilL be given an opportunity to
hear him two houra a week for live weeks,
and I consider the benefits to be realized
will justify the sacrifice of the regular
class time."
Mr. Tomlins has been in the City a
month and has arranged to lecture at the
high schools twice a week, while the pu
pils of the grammar schools will come to
hear him at a central point twice a week.
Speaking of his opinion of Californian
children as "music material' 1 Mr. Tomlins
said yesterday:
"As far as I have seen I am greatly en
couraged by the outlook. Of course it is
too soon for me to speak with absolute
confidence, but I think I notice a recep
tivity as far as physical tone co«?s which
may be attributable to the climate. Na
tively there is something, which I may
perhaps call a greater spontaneity, and
which may be traced to the free, open-air
life and favorable natural conditions.
Possibly this great advantage may have a
counter-balance in a lack of intensity or
concentration, but of that I am not quite
sure. It is absolutely essential in my
method that the attention of the pupils
should be concentrated, keyed up to the
supreme point of attention, and it may be
that I may have to address particular
study to dtveloping lhat essential. lam
very much pleased with what 1 have heard
and seen, and very much interested in
drawing out the finer differences in the
splendid material offered me."
In a circular to the pupils and friends of
the Girls' High School Director Charles A.
Murdock has this to say:
Mr. Tomlins makes no charge for his services,
trusting to the success of the concert for the
benent of the library and piano fund of the
Girls' Higji School, to be given at the conclu
sion of the iessons. An exercise-book and two
song-books; are required, which will be fur
nished to those who wish them at 25 cents (a
third of their retail price). The books will bo
loaned to those who do not wish to buy them,
but it will save trouble and be an advantage to
the pupils if they own them.
Mr. Tomlins imparts a new conception of
music and the possibilities of song. He makes
singing vital and real and reveals its soul. In
ten lemons he cannot teach technical music,
nor does he attempt it; but he gives an idea
that can never be forgotten, and teaches how
to sing.
A BOHEMIAN ANNIVERSARY
Harry Edwards' Widow Recalls
the Old Bohemian Club
Days.
She Is Forgotten by the Old Mem
bers and Unknown to the New.
The Founders.
The widow of Harry Edwards, the well
known scientist nnd actor, and o' <£> of the
founders of the, Bohemian Club of this
City, leads what might be called a retro
spective life at her home at 1808 Tillmore
street. Her chief pleasure, but one that is
mingled with sadness, is in recalling the
days of companionship with her gifted
husband.
The room in which she received a Call
reporter yesterday was a treasure chamber
of souvenirs of their travels and of Mr.
Edwards' scientific investigations.
"He was a many-sided man," she said,
with a fond look at the portrait of her hus
band. "He was equally gifted in many
lines. lam living now on the proceeds of
the sale of bis entomological collection
which numbered 350,000 specimens." She
showed with pride some rare shells which
he had collected, and said he was an en
thusiastic conchologist.
Recalling his interest in the Bohemian
Club, she said: "My husband and Mr.
Newcomb were the founders of the club,
and many were the happy hours we spent
there. After we took up our residence in
the East and, indeed, until his death the
club honored him by every courtesy that
love and esteem could dictate. When we
stopped at San Francisco en route to Aus- '
tralia and again on our return we were
feted by the club."
She drew from a pile of souvenirs the
menu card of the breakfast tendered Harry
Edwards five years ago to-day by the
Bohemian Club. It contained his photo
graph and a complimentary quotation.
"He died four years ago," she continued.
"I have been in the City the past two
years and have only visited the club once.
I went one Wednesday, which. I believe,
is ladies' day. I shook bands with Mr.
Bromley and saw one or two familiar
faces, but the associations and the changes
were painful, and I have not been there
since. The club haa forgotten me," she
said, smiling sadly. "Not one of the
members has called upon me since I re
turned from the East, two years ago. A
letter was addressed to me in care of the
Bohemian Club, and it was there for
months. No one took the trouble to learn
my whereabouts. Finally a friend hap
pened to see it in the rack and brought it
to me. I have received two invitations to
the club, I believe, during two years."
It was evident that Mrs. Edwarcls felt
deeply this indifference and regarded it not
only as esli o ht to herself but her hus
band's memory. She was guarded in her
statements and said repeatedly: "if I said
all I thought of the matter I might antag
onize some one. I am alone in the world
and shrink from entering into a contro
versy or making enemies. Besides, my
husband, if he were here, and I do not
think he is far away, would say: 'I don't
think it best, dear.'
Mrs. Edwards' face shows traces of her
great grief at the loss of her husband, but
she is, notwithstanding her occasional ab
straction when she speaks of that loss, a
clever conversationist and a woman of
strong yet winning personality.
AGAIN TO SAN QUENTIN
Mrs. Worthington'3 Third Trial
Resulted in Convic
tion.
The Jury Declared the Woman
Guilty of Murder In the Sec
ond Degree.
Mrs. Louisa Worth ington, with an infant
child in her arms and two or three other
little tots clinging about, has been again
found guilty of murder in the second de
gree.
She "killed Harry Baddeley or May 2,
1893, and three times she has boon before
the court to answer for the crime. At her
first trial she was convicted of murder in
the second degree,, when Attorney Dennis
Spencer was engaged as special counsel to
prosecute her. Judge Seawell sentenced
her to prison for twenty-five years. The'
Supreme Court granted her appeal for a
new trial, error baring been found. When
the case was brought before Judge Belcher
the jury disagn d, the members dividing
on the question of acquittal or a verdict of
manslaughter.
It was in this case that Judge Belcner
censured the jury in a manner that was
regarded as detrimental to Mrs. Worthing
ton. rthl on that account the third trial
was as scned to Judge Wallace, with the
result already stated. Insanity was the
woman's defense.
Mrs. Worthington has not displayed
much emotion at any time in court, and
spectators have usually regarded the little
woman as almost unconscious of the pro
ceedings about her, but when the jury yes
terday declared her guilty her lips trem
bled and she clutched the infant tightly in
her arms. That is about the only bit of
emotion that has been observed.
Sentence will be pronounced by. Judge
Wallace on Friday of next werk.
Attorneys Haskell and Guilfoyle, who
defended 'Mrs. Worthington, say thatthev
will again appeal to the Supreme Court.
They allege that there was error in the
rulings relating to the questions of in
sanity. _____________
"A NIGHT IN NAPLES."
That Is the Idea Which
Sausalito Is Now
Considering.
A Preliminary Meeting Held Yes
terday and a Business One
Called for Saturday.
The idea of holding a water carnival at
Sausalito has developed into a fixed pur
pose. The fact was demonstrated at a
preliminary meeting held late yesterday
afternoon, presided over by Dr. J. B.
Crumpton. The purpose was to arrange
for a general meeting, which all citizens of
Sausalito and summer residents were in
vited to attend, for the formation of a
permanent organization to provide ways
ar.d means to the end in view.
There were present at the meeting yester
day: Dr. J. E. Crumpton, J. W. Sperry;
John H. Dickinson, president of the Board
of Town Trustees; ' Commodore Harrison,
C. P. Sonntag, Town Trustee Miller, H. A.
Cobb, William Hannon, Superintendent E.
H. Shoemaker of the North Pacific Coast
Railway; J. W.Davidson, principal of the
public school ; J. E. Slinkey, proprietor of
El Monte Hotel; Robert George, secretary
of the Sausalito Land and Ferry Company ;
8. S. Fiedler, Peter Ciaridianos, Srtiobl
Director Thomas, Town Treasurer Law
rence; J. H. Prior, editor Sausahto News,
and M. M. Barnet, editor San Francisco
Journal of Commerce.
The time fixed for the general meeting
is SatUi'dav, Aupust 17, at 4 p. m., at the
town hall. Officers are to be elected and com
mittees appointed for action. The geneTal
opinion obtained that the event should
occur about the last of September or the
first part of October, and it shall be "A
Night in Naples" with a Vesuvius in the
background.
Sausalito's admirable situation, m lull
view from the bay, and the imposing ap
pearance of the dwellings on the hill, with
the advantages of the water front, were
presented by the several speakers.
"There is no reason why Satisalito
should not have this grand fete," said
Colonel Sonntap, "and there are many
good reasons why it should. Sausalito
ought to wake up."
"Our location is the finest on the bay,"
said General Dickinson, "and if the lire
works are properly handled they may be
seen in San Francisco. Let us have the fete
by all means and begin active preparations
immediately."
School Director Thomas was enthusiastic
over the prospect and said it was due to
the pride which the citizens took in the
town that the fete should be held.
"I am heartily in favor of the project,"
said Major Cobb, "and Saturday will not
be too soon for holding the general meet
ing. Let us all be there."
Commodore Harrison spoke heartily in
favor of the idea and expressed the opin
ion that the fireworks and the bursting of
Vesuvius should be prompt and not occu
py too much time.
J. H. Prior of the News favored the se
lection of a water queen to rule over the
destinies of the night, rather than a direc
tor-general.
J. B. Stetson, president of the North
Pacific Coast Railway, who has offered to
head a subscription list with $500, has ex
pressed his desire to attend the general
meeting. Word came from him through
Superintendent Shoemaker that he will
provide a grand bandstand on the pier and
run a string of electric lights along the
water front.

D. Morris, a teamster at 245]L£ Perry street,
