PROMOTERS
Attempting to Patch Up a
Compromise With Play
ers and Managers.
COMREME HELD, BIT D flfl
The Disaffected Ones Fail to Be
Assuaged With Honeyed
Speech.
THEY fflß FAIR MET RETURNS.
The Crack Baltimore Team and an
Aggregation of All-Americans
Coming Here to Play.
The local baseball players are aroused
and the "Examiner-Central Park" tourna
ment, so-called, is about to be shattered.
The saffron paper is trying to avert the
inevitable, for the tournament has been
money in its purse. After the expose of
the tournament's methods published in
yesterday's Call, the ochre paper sent
emissaries to •'Napoleon" James Joseph
Fagen, manager of the California Markets,
and E. J. Kaplan, manager of the Will k
Fincks, requesting a conference.
The con lerence was held in the yellow
journal's editorial rooms last night Fagen
and Henry Iberg represented the Califor
nia Markets, Kaplan and Captain Ed
Smith the Will <fe FincKs.
The enterprising emissaries of the Ex
aminer attempted to assuage in honeyed
words the indignation expressed by the
managers of the clubs at the paucity of
the receipts awarded the players in the
games. Fagen and Kaplan said that un
less the clubs received 40 per cent of the
gross receipts their nines should never
appear on the diamond again under tbe
present management. They were, how
ever, unwilling to act definitely in the ,
matter until the Reliance Ciub of Oakland i
was consul, ed. the Reliance Club having i
entered into a compact with the other two i
clubs for 40 per cent of the gross receipts
or nothing.
A feeble attempt was made on behalf of !
the yellow paper's representatives to im- ]
press on the managers tbe enormous cost
of conducting a tournament, especially i
when '20 per cent of the gross receipts ,
were given to charity.
The managers were obdurate, standing ':
out for 40 per cent. After an hour and a
haif of wrangling the conference broke up
with the understanding that the man- '
agers of the disaffected clubs should meet,
the tournament committee in Mayor |
Phelav.'s* office at 12 m." Monday, z ! V
After the meeting Manager Fagen said:
"Yoa may stale ia The Call that the
California Markets will not play Santa
Clara (Soda. ity Athletic Association) in
San Jose as announced in this morning's
Examiner. The California Markets will ;
not don their suits again until thi-* trou
ble is settled or _ new assoc ation is
formed. We are tired of playing for fun
when the games have been so liberally
patronized."
THE MAYOR'S CONNECTION WITH THE TOURNAMENT
"I am chairman of the committee having the tournament in
charge. The members of the committee delegated their authority to
Secretary Pringle. He has arranged the schedule and attended to all
matters pertaining to the games. Since the inception of the com
mittee, aside from looking after the charity receipts, we have passed
on and decided three disputes — the Santa Rosa difficulty and the
trouble between the Fresnos and Bakersfields." James D. Phelan in
an interview.
The California Market, Will dt Finck
and the Reliance clubs are not the only
disaffected nines about the bay. Even
the Bushne.'l Alerts are dissatisfied. Said
one of th^ir member-* to a Call represen
tative: "There never was a bigger hog
ging tiame concocted than this tourna
ment business. The players receive very
little money, wh.l-s the promoters are
making barrels. We played in a game
" here the gross receipt*- were $2800 and
ail we received was $280. I should
like -to ask the public it that is a square
deal? Is it right?"
The rules governing th*i tournament
have been changed almost daily, at the
caprice of D. R. McNeill and the saffron
hued journal. Every change made was in
the interest of the promoters of the
scheme and not to encourage and foster
tbe national game.
Early in the contests on the diamond
the interior clubs rebeled against the
usurpation of the promoter-. The Santa
Bosa incident illustrates the tyrannical
measures pursued by the promoters. Mr.
Keegan of Santa Rosa, who organized the
team, and who spent much time and
money in perfecting its efficiency, sent
SLOW
TO
SPEAK
ssm^mmmmms^am^^sss^mmsssssssssmmmmmmssmsmsmssm
Jack McCarthy as manager of the nine to
this city. McCarthy, who was persona
non grata to McNeill, was ignored. Mr.
Keegan said that he should recognlz°d
or the Santa Rosas should not play. The
promoters stood by McNeill, and Mr.
Keegan took an app?al to the tournament
committee, of which Mayor Phelan is
chairman. The committee decided that
McCarthy was qualified to manage the
team.
McNeill's contention was that McCar
thy, having been a member of the
Fresno „ Republicans, was disqualified
I from acting. The rules were changed do
1 often that it was difficult for any mana
; ger to know where he was at, in fact
they don't know to-day.
Tbe very thing that McNeill thought
was reprehensible in the Santa Rosas has
been followed by theßushnell-Alerts and
other teams without provoking even
! comment. The - Bushnell-Alerts" have
i three player* from Oregon — Rankin,
| Schmer and Nash, signed after the tour
] nament opened, which at one time was a
I violation of the rules
It would be difficult to describe the in
tense disgust of players at the reprehen
sible methods of the promoters. Manager
Harry Walton of the Reliance in an inter-
View said: "The teams have been shifted
I around like dummies, just wherever the
! management saw they could make the
'. most money. It has long been apparent
i that all the talk about fostering the ama-
I teur game has been buncombe, and that
every th ng has been done for the purpose
of filling the pockets of the Examiner
people. Tne Examiner has continually
bowled about its disinterested efforts to
encourage baseball, but it was only wind.
Under no circumstances will we play an
other game unless things are so arranged
that we get some of the proceeds instead
I of the Examiner." HP-S-i
At the meeting on Monday it is thought ]
! that an effort will be made to pull the j
i clubs back into line, in order that the i
; scandal may bedowncd, but like Bunquo's i
i ghost it will not down. Tne work has .!
been of a too deep-yeilow variety.
There was a rumor on the street last
evening that Jac£ McGlynn and others \
i had made a pro; osition to tbe disaffected |
' clubs. McGlvnn, ii was stated, proposed j
I to secure the Velodrome grounds, tear out i
I the track and transform the place into
j ball grounds.
The lovers of the national game will i
have an opportunity in October to see
the crack Baltimore nine and the All j
1 Americans cross bats on the local dia- ■
mond. The All Americans will comprise '
; players from the National League clubs, I
while the whole aggregation of Bali more
l ball-tossers, including Joe Corbett will ap
pear. Frank Selee, manager of the Bos
tons, willmanngettbe All Americans, and
the veteran Billy Barney, now manager of
■ Brooklvns, will look after the interests of i
1 the Baltimores. The clubs are expected i
here on the 17th of October.
A series of games will b* played at ;
j Recreation Park, Eighth and Harrison I
j sireets. The stands are now in the course I
! of erection, and the grading of the grounds j
commenced yesterday, fifty men being at I
work.
Colonel T. P. Robinson is lessee of the j
I grounds.
A meeting of the Eighth-street Im- \
provement. Club, under whose direction i
the park will be improved, was held lust [
j night. The following officers were elected :
President,- T. E. Tract- ; vic-president,
; L. L-hrke; secretary, N. W. Bender; j

that Snow fraudulently converted and ap- j

THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1 897.
A CORPORATION
UNDER ARREST
Contention That the John
Kelso Company Should
Be Fined.
_________
It Was the Sub-Contractor and
a Warrant Issued for Its
Apprehension.
John Kelso the Man Discharged and
John Kelso the President
Prosecuted.
As was foretold in yesterday morning's
issue of The Call United States Commis
sioner Heacock, at the ses-ion of bis
tribunal yesterday afternoon, dismissed
the charge against John Kelso, accused of
violating the Federal eight-hour law.
The reasons were those already stated —
that the proof was thai Kelso was neither ,
the contractor nor the sub-contractor in
the matter of excavating the site for the
proposed new Postoffice building, but that
a corporation, the John Kelso Company,
was the sub-contractor.
After the dismissal Congressman Ma
guire and Assistant Unite. l States Attor
ney Knight presented a complaint charg
ing the John Kelso Company with violat
ing the law. The complaint was sworn
to by Harry Saunders, the representative
of the D. strict Council ot Carpenters and
Joiners, , backed by the San Francisco
Labor Council and the San Francisco
Trades and Building Council. Commis
sioner Heacock issued the warrant and it
was plac-d in the hands of a deputy
United States Mar-thai and serve I upon
John Kelso as president of the corpora
tion. The hearing will be bad early next
week and several novel law points will be
advanced.
Congressman Maguire and Attorney
i Knight say that there is precedent for the
; arrest of a corporation, and that while a
'. corporation may not be the subject of
! punishment by imprisonment, it may be
i made the subject of a fine for a criminal
| offense.
Judge Maguire rfrgued that to give so
narrow a con-truction to the statute as to
hold that the corporation and not Kelso
personally was liable for the violation of
the law would result in the destruction of
' the law, and that an unjust discrimina
j tion between persons would be made. The
I shield of corporate right should not ne
permitted to protect tne individuals who
compose th's corporal. in violating the
: law.
"It may be," continued the speaker,
"that the law may have been juggled pur
posely by its authors ior the purpose of
pretending to do something for labor in
order to obtain its good- will, and at the
same time to pass a law that would be in
operative."
The defense will now resort to the con
tention, among others, that the corpora
tion as a corporation was ignorant of the
fact that its president, Kelso, was violating
the eight-hour law and that it, therefore,
was not amenable to punishment.
. Tbe case from now on will be watched
with interest by organized labor, not only
in Cal. fornia but in every part of the rest
of the Union. ; Y ... .'
BEAKDSLEE RECEPTION.
Speeches of Congratulation by Promi
nent Membeis of the Chamber '
of Commerce.
Rear- Admiral Beari'.slee of the United
States navy was tendered a public recep
tion in the rooms of the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce at 3 o'clock yester
day afternoon as a mark of appreciation
of his patriotic record as a sea soldier and
a citizen.
The navy was represented by the follow
ing named officers: Captain Barker, Chief
Engineer Milligan, Paymaster Colhoun,
Lieutenant Jobnsou, Lieutenant Miller,
Lieutenant Overstreet, Captain of Marines
Davis, Lieutenant Eberle, fcnsign Hussey
and Cadet Leahy.
Hugh Craig presided at* the reception,
and introduced the admiral in a graceful
speech. Captain Bermingham and Cap
tain Simpson followed with brief speeches
of congratulation.
Irving M. Scott was as felicitous as
usual in his remarks on the glory or the
navy and its quality. He spoke of the
admiral as a man thoroughly conversant
with the geography — physical and politi
cal — of the Pacific Coast, as well as of its
v, ants in the way of protection.
Captain Merry read a letter from George
•W. McNear regretting his inability to be
present and congratulating the admiral
on the valuable service*! wh eh he had
rendered the nation.
The admiral responded briefly and feel
ingly. He began by thanking the assem
blage for their kind recaption. Ho spoke
of the interest which bad been expressed
by the people to see the flagship Philadel
phia, and told how he had taken her down
the coast Irom Portland to San Diego and
had piven the people an opportunity of
seeing her. He complimented the Naval
Reserve as a valuable auxiliary to the
defender* of the nation.
Major Sherman closed by extending to
the distinguished guest the felicitations of
the Mex. can War veterans, and the recep
tion came to an end. Monday evening
Admiral Beardslee was given a banquet in
the Occidental Hotel by the members of
the Loyal Legion.
LIKE EMPLOYER,
LIKE SERVANT
The Hearst Eepresentatives
Throw Stones From a
Glass House.
Charged Walter Main With
Greed, but Greed Prompted
the Charge.
Were Afraid He Would Start an Op
position Ball Ground, So They
Assailed Him.
"The tinkle of the guinea heals the
hurt that honor feels."
This happy little quotation, born of an
unhappy but true condition, fittingly ap
plies, it is said, to William Hearst's per
sonal representatives employed on tbe
"Yellow Journal." On the other hand,
however, the tinkle of the guinea in the
pockets of others heals no wounds within ,
their breasts, but when they hear it vitu
peration within them knows no bounds.
Such is the belief of Walter Main, propri
etor of the big circus which lately showed
at Eighth and Harrison streets. A brief
personal contact with two of those repre
sentatives led Mr. Main to form this spicy
opinion of their personalities, and be says
the end is not yet.
"About two weeks prior to the arrival
of my show in town," he said, "my gen
eral agent reached the city and immedi
ately went in search of a piece of ground
on which to pitch the tent. He endeav
ored to rent Central Park and was re
ferred to the Examiner people, who are in
terested in the Sunday ball games held in
that lot. I tinders and they have a lease
of the grounds, but they would not listen
to our proposals. Mr. D. R. McNeill,
owner of the park, was seen and he was
anxious to have us show on the grounds.
He also exposiulatep with Hearst's gen
erals, but his words were wasted. It was
suggestea by them that the circus people
be informed that a good show ground
could be had at the corner of Sixteenth
and Folsom streets. Accordingly we were
so informed, but as the grounds were too
far out we failed to follow the suggestion.
Finally we succeeded in obtaining the
grounds at the corner of Eighth and
Harris. streets.
"Then the wail of Hearst's little man
and his brother reached to the very
heavens. We had done just what he had
endeavored to pi event. Word was sent
us that we were doing the ball-game pro
moters an irreparable injury; that we
were placing money in the bands of the
Eighth and Harrison stre t property
owners and that we wre starting an op
position bull ground. We did not come to
San Francisco for the purpose of starting
a ball ground in opposition to the enter
prise (f the absentee editor's collegue,
and his protest bewildered us. We dis
cussed the matter as calmly as our turbu
lent emotions would allow, and were un
able to solve the mystery as to just how
the 'little moa' had arrived at the con
clusion that we bad brought a circus to
town as a side attraction, the tent to be
be pitched in one corner of the opposition
ball ground. / . *V, ■ •*
, ."I assure you that we had no such in
tention, and in explaining the proposi
tion to him found "that.. he bad no fear
that we would start the grounds, but in
formed us that they would be started on
ti e money we paid out for the rent of the
property. It was again suggested" to my
representatives that we take the Folsom
street grounds; that by so doing we would
not seriously decrease the crowd that
weekly gathers In Central Park to witness
a few amateurs wear eacb other out in an
endeavor to play ball. We explained that
by going so far out we would lose seveial
thousands of dollars, but to the Exam
iner's Shylock it mattered not. Again he
expostulated, but we were adamant.
"Then mild hints of a coming 'roast'
were made. Nevertheless we pitched our
tent at Eighth and Harrison streets, and
in consequence the anger of the brother
representatives could no longer be re
strained. We received word that it would
be useless lor us to send a representative
to the Examiner ollice, as we could get no
favors there.
•'We inserted an ad in the Yellow Jour
nal and paid for it at advanced rates. Then
to further pacify the generals we presented
the office with JjoO passes to the circus.
The passes were accepted with alacrity
and more demands were made. One even
ing the wife of an Examiner printer, ac
companied by eight of her neighbors'
children, appeared at the elicits entrance
and endavor. d to gain admittance for her
self and kindergarten on one pass. She
was refused by the doorkeeper and left
with threats that the circus would receive
a scorchine in her husband's paper.
"The following evening a party ap
peared at the entrance and wanted hair a
dozen boxes. AH but two of the boxes
were taken, and on receiving this infor
mation the puny began to roar and stam
pede for the street. Raul Blume,* press
agent, managed to head a portion of the
crowd off and it was seated. - V
"By this time the 'little mon' had made
up his mind to use the paper he represents
to further his own interests, and to vent
his spite he ordered a 'roast.' It came — a
weak statement of a number of as foul
lies as ever crept into a newspaper. No
injury, however, resulted, as the paper is
too well known. Honest people never
pay any attention to its wailings, so it
wailed in vain."
Paul Illume, press agent, has also
formed an opinion of the Examiner, its
methods and its manngrmen, which to
say the least is unenviable.
. "It has been my pleasure during several
years' connection as press agent with the
circus of Walter Main to become ac
quainted with the policies of America's
leading newspapers," he said. "it has
been my pleasure during these years to
rind that honor and justice constitute the
foundation on which the influential
journal is builded." It has also been my
surprise to find that the proprietors and
managers of many papers have found
financial success by conducting - journals
that are rotten to the core and that know
not what principle means.
. "M'be most perfect exemplification of the
latter quality of journalism, the most per
fect exemplification of. yellow journal
ism journalism tainted wiih the deepest
of that Color that tells the cvr — I have un
fortunately found in the Examiner of San
Francisco. That paper can be referred to
only as the foul calumniator ot the un
fortunate poor; the' thirsty bloodsucker
of the sinnine; rich and the slanderer of
the indifferent. It charged Walter Main
with greed and shameful mismanagement
in conducting bis circus, but greed on the
part of Hearst's representatives prompted
the charge, and as for mismanagement
that shortcoming in the office oi the Ex
aminer has resulted in that paper being
branded by all who know it as the "yel
lowest journal' in all creation."

HELD ON THE
MURDER CHARGE
Theodore Figel .Must Stand
Trial for the Killing
of Hoffman.
Judge Campbell Holds Him to.
Answer to the Superior
• Court.
His Honor Expresses Himself as
Strongly Convinced of the
Defendant's Guilt.
The decision of the case of Theodore A.
Figel, charged with the murder of Isaac
Hoffman, was rendered by Judge Camp
bell yesterday morning, and the defend
ant was held to answer to the Superior
Court without bail.
The couitroom was crowded with peo
ple expecting something out of the or
dinary, but they were disappointed, as the
proceedings consisted simply of the read
ing of his decision by the court and a few
brief remarks by Judge Murphy, express
ing the thanks of the attorneys to Judge
Troutt for the use ot his courtroom during
the case.
Judge Campbell's decision, stripped of
its compliments to court officials, follows:
! The defendant, Theodore A. Figel, is charged
with the crime of murder by a complaint be
fore me and duly verified, in which he is ac
cusea of willfully, leloniously and with malice
aforethought killing ana murdering Isaac
Hoffman in tie city and county on the Ist day
of June, 1»97.
I have endeavored all through the case to
act impartially, and I feel that I have done so.
In viewof the consequences that may flow to
the defendant, I have carefully considered the
entire testimony in the case atid, indeed, re
read the same.
fitting as a committing magistrate, my
dunes are defined by section 872 of the Penal
< ode. which is as follows: "11, however, it ap
pears from tne examination that a public
offense has been mine 1, and there is
sufficient cause to believe the defendant guilty
thereof "
The first question for me to determine is.
has the crime of murder been committed, and
I am, from the testimony in this examination,
! irresistibly led to the conclusion that a mur
i der has been committed, namely: That on the
! Ist day of June, 1897, in his store ou the cor
j ncr ot Battery and Bush streets, in this city,
Isaac Hoffman was murd .•red. The theory
which has dc*-*:i suggested during this exami
nation,that Mr.Hoff.nau's death was caused by
his own act, that is, that he committed sui
cide, I. do not believe. In my judgment the
I testimony to this case renders the idea of sui
; cide by Mr. Hoffman absolutely unbased and
j without foundation. The evidence fully con
vinces me that Mr. Hoffman, instead of com
i mitting suicide, had everything to live for.
j Be was wealthy, had a prosperous business, a
i young family to whom he was devotedly at
j tached, and about twenty minutes prior to his
receiving the fatal shots, according to the tes-
I timony of the defendant himself, he was
i cheerful and happy, and spoke of his great
i prosperity duriug the last year, and looking
j forward to equal, If not greater, successes for
| the next. 'I'nere was nothing tangible offered
why Mr. Hoffman should commit suicide, and
I do not entertain even an iaea that there is
any truth in such a theory or suggestion.
Having determined the fact that a murder
has been committed, the next question is,
Is there sufficient cause to believe the defend
ant, Theodore A. Figel. guilty thereot ?- I am, j
from the evidence in the case, fatty convinced
that there Is sufficient cause to be leve the
I defendant gui lhereo*. It is therelore or
j dered that the defendant, Theodore A. Figel.
be held to answer to the superior Court of
this city and county of San Francisco upon the
' charge of murder, and that ne be delivered
| to the custody of the Sheriff of I the city and
county of nan. Francisco and by him detained
until he be legally discharged. I.3ASHB
Now in regard to bail in this matter. Sec
i tion 1270 of the Penal Code reads as follow*:
j "A defendant charged with an offense punish
; able with death cannot he admitted to bail
; when the proof of his guilt is evident or the
I presumption thereof great." It seems tome
| from all the circumstances surrounding this
j cms;, that at least the presumption of his guilt
I is great, and it is therefore ordered that he be
i held without bail. ::,■;*.*,::."■ f

WHY SO MANY^OTLAE PHYSICIANS FAIL

A woman is sick ; some disease peculiar to her fax- ' -/^■^
sex is fast developing in her system. ' She goes -^fl*-Bf^fmf-r^TM
to her family physician and tells him a
Sheholdssomethingback", loses her head, t^^^^^^^^^"^^^^^^^j^^\
becomes agitated, forgets what she wants fifflffi fiSf^Hr*-, J&%^2&^A

her family physician. I / 'viw I kr 'i r
years ago Mrs. Lydia E. Pink- • ' ' ' ™
ham, at Lynn, Mass., determined to step in and help her sex. Having had consid-
erable experience in treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en-
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into
her ears every detail of their suffering,
In this way she was able to. do for them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and, the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs. Pinkham during the last year is indicative of
the grand results which are produced by her unequaled experience and
training. ' \j
No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of the womb.
This, therefore^ is the reason why Mrs. Pinkham. in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. »
The testimonials which we are constantly publishing from grateful women
jstablish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Co_>
oound to conquer female diseases.
