After the Herman and

ACCUSED OF POACHING.
Both Vessels Frequently Over
hauled but No Proof of
Guilt Found.
SAILING OF THE ALAMEDA.
Nat Goodwin's Comedy Company Drew
a Big Crowd to Folsom-Street
Wharf.
The otter-hunting schooners Herman
and Edward E. Webster, according to
latest accounts, are having lively times of
it in Bering Sea with the revenue cutter
Rush. They have been chased time and
again and on several occasions they suc
ceeded in getting away, thus saving an
overhauling. When they did heave to in
response to guns fired from the revenue
cutter it was alwas found that the schoon
er's papers were all right and that there .
was nothing contraband aboard.
The revenue officials are keeping a bright
lookout on both schooners and if they are
caught an example will be made of the
owners and crew.
According to reports both the Herman
and Webster have done remarkably well.
They have secured quite a number of otter
skins, but every time they have been over
hauled in forbidden territory there has not
been a skin found on either. The revenue
officials think the skins have been cached
and also assert that the crew of the two
schooners are trading with smuggled
liquor.
Whether any of these charges are true
remains to be seen, but the fact is that the
Rush is constantly on che lookout for
boft- schooners, and a race between the
three is almost always on the tapis. With
a strong fair wind the schooners have a
good chance of holding their own. The bet
ting on the water front is that both vessels
will be seized before the season is out.
A. P. Lorentzen, the agent of the two
schooners, is indignant over the idea of
any one thinking his schooners are poach
ing. He insists that they are out on a
legitimate otter-hunting cruise, and that
no such thing as "liquor" ever entered
into any of the captains' transactions.
That the vessels have been overhauled
and nothing found wrong In either their
manifest or cargo is strong presumption
that there is nothing wrong, but then
otter skins are worth nearly $300 apiece,
and the Rush is constantly on the track of
both schooners.
Quite a number of people were down to
see the Oceanic Steamship Company's
Alameda off for South Sea Island ports
yesterday. She was loaded to her full
carrying capacity and had, for this time
of the year, an unusually large number of
passengers. Among them was Nat Good- j
win and his comedy company. Blanche
Walsh, who was said to have withdrawn,
was among the number, and, with her
mother, was prominent on the forward
deck as the steamer moved away from the
dock. As the Alameda got under way the
tug Vigilant was also brouuht into requisi
tion. She had been chartered by -the
theatrical people and accompanied the
oig steamer to the heads. As the two
steamers passed Fort Point Mr. Goodwin,
in pantomime, made a vain attempt to get
the captain on the Alameda to stop the
ship, and, with one hand on his throat
and the other pointed to the Cliff Hous«,
attempted to make the crowd on the tug
understand that he wanted them to take a
farewell drink.
Among those on the Vigilant were Mel
ville Marks and Miss .Gertrude Elliott of
the Columbia Theater, George Lask of the
Tivoli. M. Clarlc of the Frawiey Company,
HugoToland, "Charley" Morel, T. Daniel
Frawiey and others. The Goodwin com
pany will be gone about five months and
during its stay will produce "A Gilded
Fool," "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "In
Mizzoura."
Among the other passengers who sailed
[ on the steamer were Mrs. Charles M.
Shortridge and her daughter, who are
bound for Hawaii on a vacation. Some
years aeo Mrs. Shortridge visited the Par
! adise of the Pacific with her husband and
the trip was such a thoroughly enjoyable
one that she has determined to revisit the
| country. Colonel J. H. Soper and P.
I Soper also sailed for Honolulu and United
States Consul-General W. Churchill and
wife went to Apia, Samoa.
The Harbor Commissioners held a short

i ance was done. Commissioner Cole is ex

then many matters that have been in abey

SUIT TO FORECLOSE.
The Central Trust Company Seeks to
Gain Control of the Nevada
Railroad.
The Central Trust Company of New
York began suit Wed nesday in the United
States Circuit Court against the California
and Nevada Railroad Company for fore
closure of a mortgage held by them and
the appointment of a receiver. C. K.
King, recently appointed receiver as the
result of the suit of Charles H. Smith to
have certain bonds declared illegal, is also
made a party to the proceedings.
It appears from the complaint that in
1884 the railroad company determined to
borrow $5,000,000 for the purpose of com
pleting the road. An issue of 5000 bonds
of a par value of $1000 each was accord
ingly authorized, the same to be payable
thirty years after date. The trust com
pany agreed to float the bonds, the com
pensation named being $100,000, payable
at the maturity of the bonds, the interest
on the same to be paid annually.
It now seems, however, that the railroad
only issued 545 of the bonds authorized.
To "cover this a mortgage was given the
trust company embracing all the prop
erty owned by the railroad, including the
proposed line from Oakland to Bodie, a
distance of 250 miles. The complaint now
alleges that the defendants in the suit de
faulted in payment of interest in 1885 and
every year thereafter. In consequence of
this the complainants now file a claim of
$376,050 interest due on bonds, and in ad
dition to this prays for a foreclosure of the
mortgage, the appointment of a receiver
and an injunction against the receiver ap
pointed under the Smith suit, riled May 28.
HEALTH MEASURES AFAR,
Congress Asked to Defeat a
Senate Bill Relating to
Vivisection.
Milk Inspector Dockery Wants the
M;lk Permit of P. McDonough
Revoked.
The Board of Health took an important j
step at its meeting Wednesday when it
passed a resolution requesting the Cali
fornia representatives in Congress to op
pose the passage of Senate bill No. 1552,
which is now pending.
This measure prohibits the use of live
animals for experiments and was intro
duced at the instance of the National So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals, which is opposed to vivisection for
any purpose whatever. The resolution
was introduced on a request from the Bu
reau of Agriculture at Washington, which
desires to use live animals while pursuing
its investigations into the causes ot many
diseases of a dangerous character.
The board decided to send the following
communication to the Boards of Health
of the various counties of the State:
Dear Sir»: The Board of Health of the City
and County of San Francisco, desiring to co
operate with the Boards of Health of the va
rious counties of this State in the extirpation
of contagious diseases, and principally tuber
culosis or consumption in cattle, desires to
call attention to the general prevalence of that
disease in dairy herds throughout this State,
nii'l to the absolute necessity of combined
elforta for its eradication.
It neodsno suggestion by us, that it is to the
interest of owners of dairy herds to free such
herds from animals afflicted with contagious
diseases as the entire herd must soon become
infected, and within a short time thus De lost
to their owners.
The Board of Health of this City and County,
following the wise example set by the United
States Government, has begun the inspection
of dairy herds in this City and County by the
United States tuberculin tests, in conjunction
with the Boards of Health of Santa Clara and
Alameda counties, and will continue such in
spection until every animal in these counties
has been inspected with the United States
tuberculin tests and thus proven to be free
from consumption.
We desire to call your attention to the fur
ther fact that the milk ordinance of this City,
recently passed, grants to this board the
power to inspect all dairy herds furnishing
milk to this City and to quarantine against
milk from cows not thus inspected, and we
hereby respectfully notify you that on and
after October 1, 1896, we shall quarantine
against all dairy cows and the mils from dairy
cows thßt have not been inspected by the
United States tuberculin test, according to
the rules and regulations of the United States
Agricultural Department, Bureau of Animal
Industry.
A complaint from residents of the dis
trict about the intersection of Sausome
street and Broadway that a chemical fac
tory there is creating a nuisance was re
ferred to Health Officer Lovelace for in
vestigation
The board, by a unanimous vote, con
demned the sewer on California street,
which terminates at Walnut street without
an outlet, and also the one on Walnut
street terminating at California street in
the same manner. It was decided to ask
the Board of Supervisors to remedy the
matter by having the sewers joined to an
outlet into the sewer on Central avenue.
Milk Inspector Dockery sent in a com
munication recommending that the milk
permit of P. McDonough, a rancher on
the San Bruno road, be canceled because
of his habit of permitting his cows to feed
in the morass near his place. It was de
cided to give McDonough a chance to de
fend himself at the next meeting of the
board.
The Great Kush Increasing.
The silk department at the big dry goods sale
(by order of the creditors, at 45c on the dollar
of the if ßs 000 stock of James M. Moran & Co.,
1009-1015 Market street), was the center of
attraction yesterday, and from the smiling
faces of the ladies who were fortunate enough
to approach the counters and get waited on,
one could safely surmise that the bargains
were immense. There was no getting near the
underwear counters in the afternoon, as the
jam was terrific. The big cut in prices has
captured the town. •

THE MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION.
Sup rvisors Recommend a Change in
the Order of Traffic Exclusion
From the Avenue.
A boulevard may be a thing of beauty
and a joy forever to the disciple of driv
ing pleasure, but a boulevard from which
all wheeled vehicles excepting those for
recreation and pleasure are excluded is
not the kind of a thoroughfare that the
dwellers in the eartern division of Goiden
Gate avenue are clamoring for.
The property-owners and the venders of ;
merchandise enjoy the smoothly paved ]
street. The sight of carriages rolling by j
to the park and ocean is enchanting from
the purely esthetic point of view, but the
gorgeous procession brings no trade. \
When a vehicle with a trader aboard
comes in sight the police turn it aside
and the merchant languishes. The result
of this exclusion is the alleged deprecia
tion of property values on Golden Gate
avenue, from Market to Polk streets.
Rents have declined likewise, and owners
of property find it extremely difficult to
keep tenants on their premises, even
with offers of greatly reduced rents.
Perceiving that something should be
aone to restore the lost trade and enhance I
declining values in real estate, property
owners petitioned the Board of Super- I
visors to amend the boulevard order (No. j

Van Ness avenue should be excepted from
boulevard regulations.
One of the petitions was signed by the
owners of one-half the property affected.
The names of a large proportion of the re
maining property-owners were embraced
in other petitions. The interested real es
tate owners were largely represented at
the street committee meeting of the Board
of Supervisors yesterday forenoon. Su- j
pervisors Hughes, Benjamin, Morgan
stern and Dunker listened to what was
said.
It was taken into account at the session
that the Merchants' Association bad a high
regard for boulevard attractions, holding
that certain thoroughfares should be re
served and improved for purposes of pleas
ure, travel and recreation. Thomas Mat, r ee,
Captain Taylor, ex-Supervisor Farns
worth and Theodore Knight repre
sented that the merchants on Golden j
Gate avenue stood as high in the
community and were quite as loyal to San
Francisco as the citizens belonging to the
Merchants' Association. Relerence was
made to the depreciation of property
values caused by the exclusion of other
than pastime travel, and the argument i
was strenuously advocated that the ex
clusion of trade wagons west of Van Ness
avenue ought to be sufficient to satisfy the
most ardent adherent of boulevard pro
prieties.
The commercial expansion of the City |
was such that Golden Gate avenue was on j
tne line of development, and no good rea- j
son existed for denying the owners of !
property on that thoroughfare the benefits
of such advancement.
The Supervisors listened respectfully to
all that was said by the delegates from the
avenue, and then they considered a peti
tion from the directors of the Merchants'
Association. This petition, of date June
20, asked that the directors should have a
hearing before the committee recom
mended any amendment to the existing
order.
It was put on record that the Street Com
mittee was always willing to hear the Mer
chants' Association on all pubJi; matters,
but it was deckled, nevertheless, to recom
mend that Goiden Gate boulevard, from
Van Ness avenue east, be opened to traffic.
The question will come up for final adjust- j
ment when the Supervisors in regular ses- ;
sion *hail taKe up the report of the Street j
Committee. Meanwhile Magee, Knight, j
Farnsworth and Taylor ma}' gather their \
forces for the fight in the board, and the j
boulevard advocates may rally to main- j
tain what has been scoured.
The Street Committee also recommended
the full acceptance of following streets:
Fell, from Clayton to Cole.
Fell, from Cole to Shrader.
Fell, from Shrader to Stanyan.

THE GERMANS
ARE PLEASED,
Their Coming Biennial Na
tional Convention the
Cause.
IT WILL BE HELD HERE.
Visiting Delegates Expf cted From
All States in the
Union.
THE TEST OF CITIZENSHIP.
A Strong and Progressive Union
of Patriotic German.
Americans.
Though it is two years in the future a
thrill of pleasurable excitement is al
ready felt among the German residents of
San Francisco over the eighteenth annual
convention of the Turner Union societies
of the United States, which will begin
| herein June, 1898. The "bund" or union is
| now in session at Louisville, Ky. , and the
j selection of this City for its next conven
| tion is due in a great measure to the ac
i tivity of Albert Culm, a prominent jour
nalist of San Jose. This will be the first
National convention of the union ever held
on the Pacific Coast and it is a significant
event to all loyal German-Americans.
The Turners' Union aims at physical
and mental culture and takes an intelli
gent interest in all of the social, political
and economical a uestions of the day. It
is represented in nearly all of the larger
I cities and towns of the United States, and
I has upon its roll 3 the names of some
50,000 members.
The societies number upward of 300.
Americans as well as Germans are
eligible to membership, but every
foreigner must become a citizen of the
United States. The union was organized
! some thirty-five years ago, and its history
has ever since been marked by cuiture and
prosperity,
It is expected that the visiting delegates
alone will be not fewer than 500, exclusive
|of their wives and friends, which will
I make at least a thousand. Like other or
! ganizations of its class, the purpose of the
| convention will be to frame general laws,
j etc., for the thirty odd districts within its
jurisdiction. There will also be the usual
election, speeches and banquets and a jolly
good time is confidently anticipated.
The oldest Turner Union organization
on the Pacific Coast is the San Francisco
Turn Verein. It has been in existence
since 1852 and is pleasantly located at 323
Turk street, where it has a fine gymna
sium, library, reading-room, etc.
The following is the list of its present
officers:
President, G. A, Trost; vice-president,
Henry Dunck; recording secretary, Louis
Brune; corresponding secretary, Hermann
bteklin ; treasurer, Henry Planz; financial
secretary, Henry Stieber; first leader,
Albert Furth ; second leader, Hermann
i Alpen; first librarian, Charles Schullkoff;
'second librarian, Adolf Bergman; ser
j geant-at-arms, B. Baumstark; trustees —
I Louis Marcus, Louis Schneider, Theodore
! Planz, William Plageman and G. A. Trost:
instructor, Professor Robert Barth ; presi-
I dent of the singing section, John Siramen.
The other societies of this City are the
Mission Turn Verein on Eighteenth street,
the Forward Turn Verein on O'Farrell
street and the Verein Eintracht on Twelfth
street. They comprise a total member
ship of about 1000, and the twelve socie
ties scattered throughout the cities ana
towns of - California have at least 3000
more. These figures added to the list of
visiting delegates and friends will give a
total of upward of 5000 persons who may
be expected to assemble in San Francisco
in June, 1898.
