CANDY AND AN EXCURSION
Promise of a Man Who Has
Great Sympathy With the
Baby Burglars.
KETCHAM'S HIGH SCHOOL FIASCO
Chinese and Police in a Tug-of-War,
With Lottery Men on the
Short Eud.
Oak i.anp Office Sax Fraiwisoo Call,)
90S Broadway, Marco. 29. )
There, is one man in Oakland with a
herrrr.; • -His name is John T. Bell, who
;.e ox the moving spirits of the recent
exposition, and, althouuh there are others,
there are not many who would admit that
in their boyhood they -were on about the
same plane of boyishness on which the
four baby burglars now at the City Prison
are standing.
"I have a feeling of sympathy for those
young rascals," said Mr. Bell yesterday,
''and believe that if Chief Lloyd, with the
consent of Judge Wood, would spank
them and send them home the safety of
society will not be jeopardized. Later on
when they have added a decade or two to
their.ages it may be necessary, perhaps, to
round them up again and send them to
the penitentiary, but the spanking would
just about meet the needs for this occa
sion.; When I was a youngster 1 had the
same craving for candy which these little
fellows have (and which was seldom grati
fied), and also a desire to see a big city,
and when, at the age of 10, I was taken to
Quincy. li!., with its teeming, swarming
population of 20,000 and was given a whole
half-dollar with which to buy candy there
was not a happier boy in fourteen counties
than 1 was. And then, too, I was some
thing of a thief myself at the same tender
age.
"The first four-bladed knife I ever
possessed I stole from Bill King, a school
mate, and suffered an agony of remorse
for three days, when my crime was de
tected, and I joyfully endured two flog
cings, one at home and the other at school.
1 hope that Judge Wood will release these
embryo malefactors this time, and if
they Will hunt me up 1 will gladly provide
funds sufficient to pay their way over to |
San Francisco ana out to Golden Gate
Park and return, with a margin large
enough to buy all the candy they can eat
during the clay."
As Judge Wood will render his decision
to-morrow morning, Mr. Bell may be
called on to make good his promise.
Oakland can always be relied upon
to reach the extreme in any matter of gen
. eral interest. Whether it be in the pro- j
duction of juvenile criminals or juvenile
elopers or in any form of scandal or mys
.-tcTy,-this "hatchery of the unexpected"
always goes one better than her neighbors.
The latest extremity to be reached is that
of the power of the press. Editor Keichain
of the High School -iEgis is the offender,
and his suspension is of more than pass
ing interest. It is a second edition of the
troubles that fell upon the management of
Jo?k ■ few months ago. It is certainly
rig Jit that the High School should have a
magazine, for the good that it may do by
being circulated over the country is mani
festly great. It is certainly wrong that
the editor— a mere lad— should be able to
use his position for the purpose of showing
any personal ill feeling he may have-against
all* or any of the faculty.
If the iEgis were the personal property
of Ketcham he. could do with it as he
pleased and no one could interfere. But
as it is, the paper is owned by stockholders
and the editor is supposed" to have the
honor of the school so much at heart that
he would scorn to do anything to belittle
it in the eyes of the world. Ii every dis
satisfied pupil is to have the privilege of
, carrying on personal fights in .the editor
ial columns of the^Egis against the fac
ulty there must at once be an end of all
discipline and efficiency. Ketcham used
his power wrongly and is now suffering
the consequences. That is his case.
On the other hand, it would have been
far more praiseworthy if the lad had been
told outright that his manner of editing the
paper was distasteful to the faculty and
that he should adopt a different policy.
The claim made by Professor McChesney
that Ketcham was not standing high
"enough in studies is not altogether correct,
as several pupils have come to the front
who declare that their marks are lower
than Ketcbam's. It is this indirect method
of dealing that has brought several little
trouble? on the high school. There will
probably be some, radical changes at the
- election of teachers in June, as more
than one school director believes there is
j room for improvement in the faculty.
Th^e- : Chinese lottery dealers have en
tered into a tug-of-war with the Police
' Department. For a long time the attor-
n eys for the Chinese have been making ef
forts to defend their, clients by impugning
the motives of witnesses, demanding jury
trials and finally attacking the constitu
tionality of the court. Considerable in
genuity has been shown in these defenses,
but they have all been nullified, and now
nothing is left for the Chinese to do but to
pay their lines or go to jail. They have
L announced that they will go to jail rather
ptn'ith pay tines, and have also expressed a
I belief that the City Council will soon tire ;
I of paving $20 to a special detective for each !
| conviction, and that the warfare against
. lotteries will therefore die. The assump
tion of the lottery men is bad argument
and worse logic.
•-It is true that while they had Officer
Banks in their pay it did require a special
detective to insure asuccessiul raid. But I
.Banks has flown to the woods to escape all j
sorts of charges, and it is believed that the I
other officers are more honest and are do- j
ing their duty. As a matter of fact, very j
few convictions acainst Chinese have been I
obtained by men who have to be specially I
paid, nearly all the convictions being se
cured by the regular officers. This is one
reason why the Chinese argue badly. The
City Council is hardly likely to com
promise its dignity by -refusing to nay
r a conviction under one of its own
ordinances. That is execrabh 1 logic. Again,
the dealers.' who are arrested are'in many
instances men of wealth,, and occasionally
a:> emissary of "Big Jim" from San Fran
cisco is caught. For tue sake of a hundred j
dol.ars these men are not likely to go to ;
jail. For every one of this class that is j
convicted the cost of several other cases
v.iH Le paid, and as the rich class are in !
the majority the future for the Chinese
lottery dealers is not very roseate, unless—
there'is a change in the office of Chief of
Police. -""■• -•;-- t . L. W. B.
SECOND WARD REPUBLICANS.
The Three Clubs Will : Probably Be
, Merged Into On«.
OAKLAND, Cal.\ March 29,— Over 100
Kepublicans of the Second Ward attended
'■■■ meeting at Milton Hall Saturday even
i:i£, called by Fred A. Campbell, president
of the "Old" Second Ward Republican j
Club. Mr. Campbell acted as chairman.
He stated that the object of the gathering }
was to take steps which should result in j
there being but one Republican club In j I
dree ward instead of three. He asked F. R. i
•Sorter to discuss the question at issue. <
-Mr. .Porter spoke of * the I*Bo6 "Second '
\\ard Republican Club," of which he is i
president. He alluded to another organi
zation, the "Rejj-jlar Republican Club of <
the Second Ward,' of which P. M. Fisher (
is president Then he referred to the J i
"old" club. He said that in 1894 he was
chairman of the committee on permanent
organization of that club, and he thought
that his committee reported in favor of a
life of six months for the club. Still it
mieht be true that the report adopted
ordained that officers should remain in
authority until their I) successors were
elected and qualified. If this latter idea
was correct then the F. R. Porter club and
the P. M. Fisher club might be deemed
interlopers.
C. A. Fawcett, C. A. Tabor and Morti
mer Smith contended that the "old ' club
was dead. It was urged on their part that
the minutes of that organization would
show that at its last meeting it adjourned
sine die. However, the point was ad
vanced that those minutes were not now
in existence presumably.
Finally L. S. Matberson, assistant secre
tary of the "old' 1 club, was installed as
secretary. On motion, the chair appointed
a committee of five to ascertain the status
of the "old" club and report progress at
a subsequent meeting. As such commit
tee he appointed F. R. Porter, J. S.
Wixson, Mortimer Smith, William Hart
and J. A. Colquhoun. The committee
will meet at 2 o'clock next Thursday after
noon.

OAKLAND, Cal., March 29.— Mrs.
Einnim Miller, the wife of|C. O. G. Miller,

STUDENT MASS-MEETING
Berkeley Collegians Will Discuss
the Eastern Track Athletic
Proposition.
College Republican Club to Be Formed.
Decoration for Dr. Holden
From Venezuela.
BERKELEY, Cal., March;:*).— A mass
meeting of the student body of the State
University will be held to-morrow after
noon for the purpose of considering the
proposition of sending the athletic team
East again this summer. Track Captain
Merwin and Manager Friend will address
the meeting and wiil lay before the stu
dents certain plans which they have in
mind for the raising of the finances requi
site to make tne trip a possibility. Some
thing in the neighborhood of $5000 will be
necessary to take a full complement of
men across to the Atlantic and return in a
proper manner. Last year's trip cost up
ward of $:J6OO, but the itinerary was not so
long as is planned for this year and the
team was lacking in two men to make a
full complement for all the track and field
events.
Manager Friend has already made are
rangements for the raising of a portion of
the sum desired. Seven hundred dollars
has been guaranteed by certain Middle
West colleges providing meets arc held
with them on the dates agreed upon. The
Berkeley co-eds will give the surplus of
their basket-ball game with Stanford on
the 4lh prox. 10 the athletic fund, and
various other benefits, such as a big field
day in San Francisco prior to their de
-s»arture, have been arranged for. Manager
feels absolutely certain that the
necessary money can be raised, if not
through field days and the like, through
the generously inclined citizens of Califor
nia, who appreciate the honor which the
team of "96 brought to the State.
Captain Bierwtlj states that the team
this year will be equally as good as that
of last year, if not somewhat better.
The only place the team is Xt all weak is
in the apnnt.s and middle distances. They
are far stronger in the weights than last
season, and they have a pole vaulter,
which was lacking in 'fto. Edgren isdoing
better work with the sixteen-pound ham
mer even' week. Yesterday in practice he
hurled it 148 feet, thus exceeding by about
four feet anything lie has done hitherto,
even in practice, uoth the captain and
manager nave strong hopes that some of
the new men now worKing in the short
distances will show up well enough by
May 1 to be taken along. Scoggins ami
Barnes, the 100-yard men of '95, are greatly
missed.
The meeting to-morrow afternoon will
include the entire university, and on ac
count of there being no room in the main
buildings large enough to hold the assem
blage the gymnasium will be used.
Honor for Dr. Holden.
BERKELEY, Cal., March 29.— Dr. Ed
ward S. Holden, director of the Licit Ob
i servatory, has recently received from the
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United
States of Venezuela the diploma and dec
oration of the Order of Bolivar the Lib
erator. The order was founded in 1854 by
Venezuela. It is bestowed in this ca^e for
services to science.
Dr. Holden has previously received the
decoration of Commander of the Ernestine
Order of Saxony, founded in 1690, on t*e
same grounds.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1896.
WORKING FOR FABIOLA
The Artistic Grand Stand Will
Be Completed by
Mayday.
PARADE AND BICYCLE RACES.
All the County Towns Have Been
Invited to Participate in the
Great Floral Festival.
Oakland Office Sax Francisco Call,)
908 Broadway. March 29. )
The directors of the California Jockey
Club at the trotting park have promised
that the new grandstand shall be in
readiness and be at the disposal of the
directors of the great Fabiola Festival to
be held in May.
The grandstand will Be entered from the
park and will present the view as shown
in the illustration, with the tankhouse to
the right and the clubhouse farther in the !
background. The 'park comprises twelve
acres of land and will be laid out in land- !
scape garden style, with miniature lakes
and tropical plants. In each corner of the
grounds will be a small Grecian temple
and one in the center. A historic feature
will be the preservation of the judges'
stand in which General Grant held the
watch when St. Julian made a world's rec
ord. The central entrance to the park will I
be for carriages, with footpaths on either I
side.
The grandstand is 240 feet long and 100
feet wide. From the pagoda there is a
view of the Golden Gate and fifteen miles
out at sea when the weather is clear. For
utility the stand will be occupied by two
water tanks connecting the pumping
plant and supplying four hose reels, one
on each floor in case of lire. Work has
begun on the tankhouye, which will bo
supplied with an electric pumping and
lighting plant in the basement. The pad
dock will be m imitation adobe, with a
tiled roof, and will be in the Mexican
style of architecture. The erection of the
clubhouse will be begun later.
The work of the fete Is now well in hand,
and there is no doubt that it will greatly
eclipse the festival of last year.
The affair is in charge of the following
committees: Executive — William R. Da

BERKELEY, Cai-.. March 29.— The
mass-meeting of the local tradesmen,
which has been called for to-morrow even
ing at Pythian Hall, givos promise of call
ing forth a great number of mechanics
who are connected with the various busi
ness trades. The object of the meeting is
primarily to discuss the recent painters'
strike in t?au" Francisco and to bring the
wageworkers into closer relationship, so
that their efforts along the line of ad
vancement and reform may be more

JUDGE ELLSWORTH HURT.
His Arm Broken in a Driving
Accident at Alameda
Yesterday.
The Wheelmen to Have a Lantern
Parade — A Young Man's Mar
riage Record.
ALAMEDA, Cal., March 29.— Judge
Ellsworth met with an accident to-day at
noon by which he sustained a fracture of
his left arm above the elbow. The Judge
is a lover, in a quiet way, of a good horse,
and lias a couple of fair steppers which he
is wont to drive out down on the speed
track at such hour? as his arduous duties
may spare him from the bench. Yester
day he put a big bay colt through his
paces and showed those who think they
have speedy goers that he was well along
with the procession. In coming home, on
Central avenue, the colt stumbled and
fell. The Judge was driving in n road
cart, and was thrown violently out on the
hard macadam. When picked up and ex
amined by a physician it was found that
his left arm had been broken above and
near the elbow. It is a bad fracture. In
setting it it was found necessary to take
out a piece of bone that had been splin
tered. There is some fear that the arm
will be stiff when it heals. It is certain
that the accident, will serve to keep the
magistrate off the bench for some weeks to
come.
Alainnda Wheelmen,
ALAMEDA, Cal., March 29.— Captain
Dodd of the Alameda Cyclers would like
to get up a lantern pa r ade and entertain
ment to take place early in May. The
streets of Alameda being generally and
perfectly macadamized would afford un
usual opportunities for a wheel display
with CfiUMM lantern features, it has
been settled that the finish of the annual
relay race shall be at Morton street, on
Central avenue. The races will turn off
the San Leandro road at High street, which
leads straight through the easterly end of
the town. They will turn thence west on
Central avenue, which is broad and ad
mirably paved and without cartracks or
any obstruction.
Too Much Married.
ALAMEDA, Cal., March 29.— 8. C. Aus
tin Jr. is in doubt as to his matrimonial
status. Fanr.io Oneuia Austin was re
cently granted a divorce from him in a San
Francisco court, and the trial disclosed the
fact that another woman in Colorado
claimed hi 3 name. The evidence went to
snow that the Colorado woman was mar
ried to Austin in Carson City on June 21,
18()o. A ceriitied record was produced
showing this state of things to exist,
though Austin denied it. Austin's legiti
mate wife, who has just been awarded a
divorce, learned of the tacts through re
ceiving a letter from the Colorado woman.
Things are, therefore, becoming interest
ing for Mr. Austin.

HORSE FLESH FOR FOWLS
People Using It Have Cornered
the Egg and Chicken Mar
ket at Fruitvale.
COMPELLED TO SELL CHEAP.
One Rancher Says That the Horse Is a
Clean Animal, and Its Flesh, if
Healthy, Is Desirable.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)
908 Broadway, March 29. )
The chicken ranchers who feed their
stock on horseflesh have cut the knees of
those who feed the usual food, and there is
trouble at Fruitvale.
In the Fruitvale district lying between
Lynn and the terminus of Peralta avenue
are numerous chicken ranches varying in
size from one to five acres. Until the last
few months they have been a source of
profit to the owners of the once peaceful,
quiet neighborhood. Now all this is
changed.
The trouble commenced when an en
terprising Portuguese saw a profitable
speculation for himself, and obtained a
small ranch on Nichol avenue not far dis
tant from the Hermitage. Here he lo
cated and started up Btarving or disabled
horses and opened up a slaughter-house.
Then he proceeded to offer the chicken
raisers the meat at such cheap rates that
it proved a great temptation, and the ma
jority of them have found its use a bo
nanza. A whole carcass can be bought
for $1, or smaller portions at like rates.
This haa enabled the dealers to increase
their 6tock of poultry and eggs so that
they are now cheaper than ever. The
places where horseflesh is used the chick
en-raisers are receiving 11 cents in market
for their eggs, which are retailed at 12)4
cents a dozen.
Those who are opposed to using the
horseflesh as chicken food and compelled to
compete with these prices, say chickens are
■without profit, as wheat, corn and scrap
meat cost too much to feed hens whose
eges bring only 11 cents a dozen in the
market.
The consequence is that chicken ranches
for sale in Fruitvale are numerous.
Those who want to sell out are indig
nant at those who introduced the horse
meat into the vale, and those who buy it
are pleased to find a food so cheap and
egg-producing. The horse-dealer now
slaughters from eight to fifteen animals
every week, and disposes of every pound
of it in Fruitvale and vicinity. The bones
also find treir place of usefulness in the
poultry business. It is either burnt for
the lime it contains or crushed as egg food.
One of the largest chicken-raisers is
located on Peralta avenue, two blocks from
the Finch Orphanage. He owns 1500 lay
ing pullets, healthy looking, and their
main diet is cooked horsemeat. An acre
sowed In alfalfa supplies the green food re
quired.
The owner, who is a very intelligent man
from Maryland, said : "I have four acres
of land and I lino every foot of it profita
ble in my poultry business.
"As for horseflesh for food I can see no
objections to it when the animals are
healthy, for there is no cleaner animal
than a horse, especially in the selection of
iis food. This notion against it is only
prejudice and in a short time it will wear
away. Chickens are naturally dirty in
preference of food and if they always eat
things as clean and wholesome as horse
meat no one need complain."

Crowds to Hear Sankey.
OAKLAND, Cal., March 29.— Several
thousand people who attempted to hear
Ira D. Sankey to-night at the Tabernacle
"were disappointed, owing to the great
crowd that tilled the big building. Not
since General Booth was in this city has
such an enormous aggregation of people
been assembled as gathered in the vicinity
of Twelfth slid Harrison streets to-nisht.
The meeting was held under the auspices
of the Young Men's Christian Association,
and au attempt was made to raise $3000 to
lift the deot off the Oakland Corps. There
was some response, but the amount
promised will not be known for a few
days. Secretary McCoy delivered a short
address and Mr. Sankey spoke of the
Young Men's Christian Association work
and his travels with Mr. Moody. All the
churches were closed so that the members
could hear the evangelist.
