ASSAULTED
AND ROBBED
BY TWO MEN
R. J. Harrison Is the
Victim of Thugs.
WAYLAID ON SECOND STREET
RENDERED HELPLESS BY A
BLOW FROM A SANDBAG.
His Desp«rate Assailants Get Away
With His Gold Watch, Money
and Two Valuable
Diamond Studs.
R. J. Harrison , formerly of th© firm of I
Sherwood, Sherwood & Harrison, is the '
latest victim of thugs. Mr. Harrison was
walking along Folsom street Tuesday
night, and when near Second he was at
tacked by two men, one of whom struck
him on the head with a sandbag, fell
ing him to the sidewalk. While lying
prostrate one of his assailants robbed
him of a gold watch and chain, two dia- \
Bond studs and $15 in silver. After giv- i
Ing him a parting kick the thugs ran !
down Folsom street and made their es- ]
cape.
Mr. Harrison subsequently went to po
lice headquarters, where he reported the
robbery to Captain Spillane. beveral of
ficers were at once dispatched to the
scene, but they were unable to get a
trace of the desperate men.
Mr. Harrison describes the man who
struck him with the sandbag as being
about 35 years of age and having a red
dish mustache. lit- was poorly dressed
and wore a slouch hat, which was pulled
down over his eyes. His companion was
rather short, and had several weeks'
growth of beard on his face.
In telling his story to Chief Lees yes
terday, the victim of the thugs said he
had been visiting a friend, and was on
the way home, when he noticed the rob
bers. They were concealed in a doorway,
and as he passed them the taller of the
two men attacked him.
As he fell to the sidewalk the wielder
of the sandbag told his companion to
"search the bloke." Catching a gljmpse
of the diamond studs which adorned Mr.
Harrison's shirt bosom, the younger rob
ber hastily wrenched them from their
fastenings". After satisfying themselves
that they had secured all his valuables,
the thugs left the scene and immediately
disappeared in the darkness.
During the past few weeks several rob
beries have occurred in the same vicinity.
The police are inclined to believe that the
men who assaulted Mr. Harrison are re
sponsible for the hold-ups, and every ef
fort is being made to apprehend them.
TO SETTLE THE
UNIFORM QUESTION
AN APPEAL WILL EE SENT TO
WASHINGTON.
Labor Men Despair of Being Able to
Make a Satisfactory Agree
ment With Major
Long.
The publication of the fact that a num
ber of the uniforms for the volunteers
■wore being manufactured in Chinatown
has created a stir which promises to res
urrect the old question of Chinese labor.
During the past week every labor organi
zation in the city has discussed the mat
ter ar.d committees from both central
bodies have been conferring with Labor
Commissioner ruzgerald and Major Long
In an effort to have the matter adjusted
without appealing to the War Depart
ment, but no satisfactory arrangements
have as yet been made.
At the meeting of the Labor Council
last night its committee reported that,
while Major Long had promised to re
quest contractors to' give the work to
white people only, he would not agree to
imposing a fine for violation of such an
agreement. A committee from the Build
ing Trades Council was present and re
quested the sister body to indorse the res
olutions published in this morning's Call,
a copy of which ha.s already been for
warded to Washington by telegraph. The
council, after a lengthy discussion, in
dorsed the resolutions and ordered that a
telegram be sent to Washington urging
that in the future a clause be inserted in
all contracts which would effectually put
a stop to the work being done by Chinese.
Bo heated did the members become over
the matter that many are of the opinion
that, should the Government refuse to
grant this request, such action be taken
by worklngmen as would compel recruit
ing officers to go to Chinatown for vol
unteers on the next call for troops.
The routine business of the council was
very light. The Musicians' Union report
ed that the Society of Old Friends had
canceled its contract with a non-union
band and had agreed to have union music
at its picnic. The late Judge Campbell
■was president of this society, and he had
been appealed to to use his influence in
the matter. After his death a letter was
found in his pocket addressed to the
union, stating that he was a friend of
workingmen and would do his utmost to
give the job to union musicians. It was
at a meeting called chiefly to consider
this matter that he died. The letter was
forwarded to the union by Archie Camp
bell, and was ordered spreaa on the min
utes. It was further reported that busi
ness was fairly good, owing to the num
ber of musicians employea in escorting
troops from the depot to the camps.
The printers reported that the strik©
condition was practically unchanged, and
that the union is constantly in need of
financial assistance, as the strike ex
penses average over $1200 per week. Semi
monthly donations are made oy many of
the local unions, which are very accept
able, and an appeal has been sent out to
Eastern unions.

COURTS TO BE INVOKED
CLARA AND CHARLES SOLICIT
OUS FOR THEIR FATHER
Rumor Persistent in Asserting That
a Strong Effort Will Be Mad©
to Change the Ole Man's
Residence.
There was a rumor current yesterday
that Charles and Clara Sutro, children
of Adolph Sutro, would resort to legal
proceedings to-day, with a view to having
the enfeebled philanthropist restored to
his home by the ocean. Some weeks ago
a gTeat deal of comment was occasioned
by his being forcibly removed from there
by his daughter, Mrs. Dr. Merritt, despite
the protestations of other children. Since
then he has been occupying apartments
in the Merritt residence, receiving the
care and professional skill of his daugh
ter. It was said that the other children
were opposed to his remaining there, as
he missed the ocean breezes and the fa
miliar scenes of his beautiful home, and
that this was retrmling his recovery.
Rumor also had it that the two chil
dren had combined against Mrs. Dr. Mer
ritt and -had instructed their attorneys,
Messrs. Bishop and Wheeler, to institute
proper legaJ remedies for the possession
of his person.
Miss Clara Sutro, a daughter of the ex-
Mayor, was seen at the family residence
last evening, and although not denying
that such a course would be pursued, was
reluctant to say anything in the matter
and referred her interviewer to her at
torney, Charles S. Wheeler.
When seen the latter did not deny that
he was going to file some papers, whether
to-day or to-morrow he could nor sa\
"There is not to my persona! knowledge
anything in the rumor," said Mr. Wheeler,
"that papers will be filed to-day to gain
possession of his person. It is my opin
ion Mr. Sutro will be in his home within
a short time— that is. as soon as his
strength and the weather will permit. I
am the attorney for Miss Clara, and as
such have not been called on to prepare
siu-h papers. The documents that will be
filed shortly relate to taxes and rmittt-r.-*
appertaining to the estate. I am not de
sirous at present to make known their
contents, as it would be unprofessional.
Everything is going along smoothly, and
I think that the children will reach an
amicable settlement and the old gentle
man will be removed to the Heights. I
can assure you that so far as I know there
will he no effort to have him taken there
by legal means."
PABST CAFE BEOPENS.
Hagerty & Leor.hardt Are the New
Managers Who Will Conduct
It to Success.
The Pabst Cafe at the junction of
Powell and Ellis streets is to be re
opened.
Such an announcement will undoubt
edly come to many of the people of the
city as a pleasurable surprise and the
consummation of a long existent desire.
Since its discontinuance some months
ago San Francisco has been deprived
of one of its most select, handsome and
most appropriate family as well as
private resorts and its recontinuance is
looked forward to by the general pub
lic with eager anticipation.
There are many cafes throughout the
length and breadth of the city, but
there is none that people can look to
with more pride than the gem of ar
tistic and architectural beauty on
Powell street. Its reopening under a
new management will most certainly
inspire the public with confidence in
the indefatigable efforts that are being
exerted by the present owners in open
ing the once popular resort on a larger
and more elaborate style and Bystem of
accommodation.
Messrs. Charles Leonhardt and Rob
ert D. Hagerty, two of San Francisco's
native sons, are the new managers and
need little, if any, introduction to the
public. For six years they conjointly
conducted the Golden Gate Villa at the
Ocean Beach and it Is needless to say
well and successfully. They are young
men who understand their business
thoroughly and intend to put this
knowledge and skilled tact of manage
ment toward furthering the success of
their new venture by first endeavoring
to please their patrons, as they have
been accustomed to do for years.
The accommodation of the Pabst Cafe
at present Is forty private dining
rooms, including one large dining-room
superbly decorated and adorned with
valuable and costly original oil paint-
Ings, depicting the principal character
istic scenery of California, Including
glimpses of Yasemite Valley, the su
perb beauty of our mountain systems,
etc.
The cafe is destined to spring into
popularity almost as soon as it is open
ed under the new management, as un
der a complete and more desirable ac
commodation, the lack of which has
been the cause of Its previous decay
as a popular resort. Its proximity with
the leading theaters and easy access to
almost the entire railway system of
the city will increase its popularity, as
it will be most convenient to theater
goers. *
Alleged Horse Thieves.
F. Buchignani. a teamster living at
1417% Dupont street, swore to a complaint
in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday
for the arrest of C. Bacigalupi and Robert
Jlentz two boys, on the charge of grand
larceny. Buchignant alleges that he had
two horses grazing In a lot at Lombard
and Francisco streets, and Tuesday after
noon the two boys rode away with the
horses and it is thought sold them.
Will Examine the Books.
Judge Belcher yesterday granted City
Attorney Creswell permission to examine
the books of the City Treasury for the
purpose of securing evidence to be used
in the suit of the city against ex-Treas
urer Widber and his sureties, the Fidelity
and Deposit Company of Maryland. In
;>!! probability the suit will be tried next
month.
Found a Babe.

Robert Fair, a young man living at

newly born baby last night on a doorstep
of a house on Howard street, between
Fifth and Sixth. It was taken to the Re
ceiving Hospital.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 28, IS9B.
A NEW PARK COMMISSIONER.
Dr, John F. Morse Will Succeed Irving M, Scott, Who
Has Just Resigned,
Irving M. Scott has been called East to consult the Navy Department forth
with on matters of grave importance. In order to make the trip without violat
ing that law which forbids park commissioners to leave the State he has for
warded his resignation.
Mr. Scott's term had really expired, though under the law a commissioner Is
allowed to hold office until his successor is appointed and qualified. It will
please those who know his sterling qualities to learn that Dr. John F. Morse
will probably be appointed to the position made by Mr. Scott's resignation, and
that the appointment will be made at an early date. Dr. Morse has a wide circle
of friends, and nobody stands higher among laymen as well as among mem
bers of his own profession than he. His education and habits have been such
as to carry out his esthetic tastes. He is a lover of good horses and an admirer
of art and landscape gardening, so he will bring to the duties of commissioner a
most thorough comprehension of the needs of the park and a skillful taste
in helping to mold it into various forme of use and beauty.
COMMISSIONERS
ARE PATRIOTIC
Golden Gate Park for
Military Drills.
PARADES ON THE ROADS
TBOOPS IN THE CITY'S PLEAS
UBE" GROUND.
Full Use of the Main Driveway Up
to 9 O'Clock a. m. — Side
Boads Are Freely
Accorded.
The volunteer troops !n camp at
Richmond find Golden Gate Park a de
lightful place for exercise. The broad
avenues and smooth place around the
music stand afford ideal drill grounds,
and the Park Commissioners in their
patriotism have ignored many idle ob
jections to the use of the park for the
purposes of military instruction and
given the regimental and company of
ficers much greater freedom than is al
lowed for purposes of drill on the Pre
sidio reservation, owned by the Gov
ernment. At the Presidio only the
drill plain can be used by the soldiers.
At Golden Gate Park the main drive
way can be used by the troop 3 until 9
o'clock in the morning. Use of the side
drives and the ample spaces around the
music stand is permitted at all times.
At the last meeting of thu Board of
Park Commissioners some protests
were made by persons who ride and
drive in the park against the use
of the main driveway for drilling
troops. The protests allege that the
evolutions of the various command.!
frighten the horses and increase the
danger of accidents. In order to ac
commodate the military people and at
the same time keep the main avenue
free for the pleasure and convenience
of the public, Irving M. Scot! intro
duced a resolution, which \va9 adopted,
giving the soldiers free use of the main
driveway until 9 a. m. each day, and
after that hour giving it exclusively to
the public use.
No restriction was placed on the use
of any other section of the park drives
by the troops. The lawns, of course,
are not used for drill purposes at any
military post and are not so used at
Golden Gate Park.
The generous use of the grounds in
Golden Gate Park accorded by the
Board of Commissioners Is appreciated
by the officers and enlisted men of the
volunteer army encamped at Rich
mond. It Is a beautiful sight to see the
men marching and drilling, and thou
sands of spectators enjoy the spectacle,
regarding it as an additional attraction
of the magnificent pleasure ground. It
will be counted to the credit of patriotic
San Francisco in years to come that
her superb park was practically given
to the Government as a camp of in
struction for the volunteer regiments.

El Campo.
The Ukiah was pretty well crowded the
day our boys sailed for Manila, but on
Sunday there is an abundance of room
for all comers. Four round trips give
plenty of deckroom for all. There is no
dust at El Campo. so the rain wasn't
really necessary. It made the trees look
fresher, however.
Dairymen Seek Pasture.
In consequence of the dry season and
the advance in the price of feed several
dairymen have sought new pasturage for
their stock. Among those who have de
cided to move their stock from San Fran
cisco is Richard Keller. Kelier has start
ed his entire herd for Marin County,
where he expects to obtain better and
cheaper feed. Several other milkirfen will
move their stock to adjoining counties in
the near future for the same reason.

NEWHALL
STANDS PAT
Olympic President Talks
of the Dismissals.
SAYS THEY WERE JUSTIFIED
BUT THE MAJORITY OF MEM
BERS ARE IN REVOLT.
They Strongly Object to the Methods
of the Management as Sacri
ficing Clean Sport to
Money.
Never in the history of the Olympic
Club has there been such Internal strife
as has been created by the discharge of
Professor Walter Watson and Professor
Hugo Beleau. Members have risen in
open revolt against the action of the
board of directors, and threaten all sorts
of things, while the board, believing as
it does that it has acted wisely and in the
interest of the organization, vows to re
sign if its action is not upheld.
The exclusive story of its action as pub
lished in The Call last Thursday has
created a deal of discussion among mem
bers and the large following of the manly
art in this city. It would seem that the
consensus of opinion is that the directors
are making- a grave mistake when they
discharge such a recognized exponent of
boxing as Professor Watson.
Charges of lack of interest on the part
of the leader, Howard Taylor, are fre-
I quenMy heard, and the directors are crlti
i cized for their bad management. It is
! said that if the latter had paid more at
; tention to the welfare of the members
I and not to money-making ventures such
| as professional fights there would be no
need to retrench by discharging Watson
and Beleau.
Howard Taylor's unpopularity with the
members is another reason advanced to
account for the present conllict. In
years past, it is said, the gymnasium was
crowdeil daily with gymnasts, boxers,
wrestlers and fencers, because the leaders
created interest by frequently holding
tournaments. During the past six months
members have been compelled to buy
their way into the club to see men pum
mel each other, while under other di
rectors they were able to witness clever
exhibitions" without charge. Under the
present leader the interest in athletics
has subsided, and now, as was pointedly
remarked by one dissatisfied member,
"the club has been turned into a good
bathhouse."
With a view to meeting the present
crisis President Newhall called a meeting
of the board in his office yesterday, but
owing to the inclement weather but one
put in an appearance, and he was "Billy'
Kennedy, a salaried employe. Another
notice was sent out by Mr. Newhall for a
special meeting, which will be held in the
club on Tuesday next.
When asked whether the directors
would be governed by the wishes of the
members, Mr. Newhall said: "We have
acted in this matter as we think proper,
and if the members are not satisfied with
what we have done it is about time we
resigned. The reason why Mr. Watson
was discharged was because of his slow
ness and inattention to business. We had
Occasion to remonstrate with him. but he
paid no attention to what was said. It is
said that DeWitt Van Court was slated for
the position of instructor, but it is not
so. He has been recommended by mem
bers, as also has Professor Bean. The
latter hns been strongly objected to, and
if we can decide on neither we will send
Kast and get the best to be had. Mem
!» rs have frequently complained of Mr.
Watson, saying that he went about a les
son as if he was conferring a favor. He
lias gone round to many prominent mem
beri who are my friends and asked them
to intercede in his behalf. They have
done so. but I do not consider them judges
of Mr. Watson, as they are not in the
habit of going into the gymnasium. The
reason why we let Mr. Beleau out is that
there is not enough for him to do during
the summer months. On June Ist the
juvenile class closes for two months. Then
again, a great many of the ladies are
away in the country, and it was thought
that Professor Meihllng was able to at
tend to these along with his other duties,
thus saving quite n sum to the club. I do
not care to say anything about Mr. Tay
lor's qualifications as a leader, as he is
acting as su^'n under my administration.
I do not think the directors will interfere
in the matter, as the change Is needed
and is the best thing fnr the club."

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.
Poor digestion often causes Irregularity
of- the heart's action. This Irregularity
may be mistaken for real, organic heart
disease. The symptoms are much the
same. There is, however, a vast differ-
ence between the two: organic heart dis-
| ease' Is often incurable; apparent heart
disease Is curable if good digestion be
restored.
A case In point is quoted from the New
Era of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Col-
som. Newpoint, Ind., a woman 43 years
old, had suffered for four years with dis-
tressing stomach trouble. The gases gen-
erated by the indigestion pressed on the
heart and caused an irregularity of its
action. She had much pain in her stomach
and heart, and was subject to frequent
and severe ' choking spells, which were
most severe at night. Doctors were tried
in vain; the patient became worse, de-
spondent, and feared Impending death
- . r**
A Case of Heart Failure. .
She was much frightened, but noticed
that in Intervals in - which' her ' stomach
did not annoy her her heart's action be-
came normal. -Reasoning -correctly that
her. digestion was alone at fault she pro-
cured the proper medicine to treat that
trouble, and with immediate good results.
Her appetite came 'back,; the •• choking
spells became, less frequent and finally
ceased. Her weight, which had been
greatly reduced,' was restored, and she
now weighs more than for years. Her
blood soon became pure and her cheeks
rosy. ■
The case Is of general interest ' because
the disease is a very. common one. That
others may know the means of cure we
give ■ the I name of the medicine used— Dr.
