CHILDREN TO
HAVE PUBLIC
PLAYGROUNDS
Business Men Pledge
Their Support.
TO AID CALIFORNIA CLUB
MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION IN
ANNUAL SESSION.
♦ —
Elects a New Board of Directors and
Gives Further Evidence of Its
Appreciation of the City's
Needs.
The Merchants' Association met in an
nual session in Academy of Sciences Hall
last night for the purpose of electing a
hoard of directors for the ensuing year ,
and receiving the annual report of the
retiring hoard. Incidentally the associa
tion devoted a large portion of the eve
ning to a discussion of the subject of .
children's public playgrounds, the estab
lishment of which is being strongly ad
vocated by the ladies of the California
Club. A large delegation from that or- !
ganization was] present by invitation and
they presented their rap.- so eloquently
that the support of the association was '■
pledged and President ihrman was In
structed to appoint a committee of five j
to meet with the department of educa- |
tion of the club for the purpose of fur- i
* *" f) laiii — t&t — VgtiV' ■ I
thering the project.
. According to the directors' port, which
was read by Secretary J. Richard Freud, !
the association, which was organized five j
years ago with a charter membership of
forty-seven, now boasts of a membership
of 1057 and a surplus of J::7::i 41. The re
port refers with pride to the work accom- !
plished by the association during the past '
year and particularly to the progress
of the movement to secure the repave
ment of the streets in the central portion j
of the city and to its efforts in connection i
with the framing of the new charter. Mu
nicipal ownership of a lighting plant is
advocated, as is the perfection of a sci
entific sewerage system. In conclusion
the report announces that in connection
with the question of the next tax levy
with which the association is at present
occupied, a future municipal plan for the
economic management of the city's affairs
and at the me time make possible
many projected improvements, is being i
formulated which will be submitted to ail
the political parties for their endorse
ment.
The. following board of directors, rec
omended by the Dominating committee,
was adopted unanimously: A. S. Baldwin, |
Wallace Bradford. Charles Bundschu, An- ,
drew M. Davis, F. W. Dohrmann, Joseph
D. Grant, Marshal Hale, Hugo D. Keil,
Daniel V. Kelly, Edward B. Pond, John !
E. yuinn, Hugo Rothschild, W. R. Sher
wood, Frank J. Symmes an.l Rolla V. :
Watt.
President Dohrmann then introduced
Mrs. A. D. Sharon, chairman of the de
partment of education of the California
Club, as the first speaker, on the subject
of public playgrounds for the children of
the city. .Mrs. Sharon made an eloquent
plea for the little folks and aroused great
enthusiasm by the vivid picture she drew
of the evil consequences of the neglect
to which the youth of the city are sub
jected and the dangers and temptations
with which they are daily beset by being
compelled t<> pass all their leisure hours
on the streets, subject to no restraining
influence?. She declared that much of the '
evil and lawlessness among the city pop- I
ulation was directly traceable to the
seeming indifference of the people gener- i
ally to the physical and moral welfare of
their offspring. In effect, she said the i
street was a hool of crime, where the 1
natural tendencies of the child were per
verted and criminal habits fostered and
developed. She then sketched the history
of the movement for the establishment of i
children s public playgrounds, which was !
inaugurated in this country about eleven 1
years ago at Boston, and proceeded to il- \
lustrate the great benefit:- which have re- '■
sulted in every city where the play- !
grounds are maintained. Philadelphia. >
New York. Brooklyn, Chicago and nearly
all the large cities in the East had emu
lated the example of Boston, or were pre- i
paring to do so, and the results every
where are shown in a wonderful decrease ;
in the number of juvenile offenders :
against the laws. Her remark that pub- i
lie playgrounds were more economical i
than jails was loudly applauded. In con
clusion Mrs. Sharon told •■• the experi
mental playground recently established
by the club on Bush street, near i ESS?
the success of which had already been
satisfactorily demonstrated and she an
pealed to the association to assist the club
;n establishing a playground south of
Mark' J stre< •
Dr. Dorothea Moore, chairman of the
civic department, followed with a brief
address along the same lines, and de- :
scribed the working of the plan in opera- :
tion n Chicago, where she resided before
locating in this city. Short addresses were
also made by President Mrs. Loveil
nh L te^ H rs V A ' L ' Mann .and Mrs. Krebs
on behalf of the club. reos
D. V Kelly championed the cause of
the club and quoted statistics to show th«
necessity for some such reform In the
methods of training the future citizens of'
the city. He said the report of 'the Chief
of Police for the year just ended showed i
that W)0 children had been arrested in
this city in twelve months, 10 per cent of :
all arrests other than those directly trace- '
able to drunkenness. In New York the
number of arrests of boys under 16 year«
for a similar period was 14,000.
"Wherever playgrounds have been es
tablished." said the speaker, "the decrease :
In the arrests of children has amounted to
30 per cent. In Boston $200,000 is annually
spent In the. maintenance of public play
grounds for the children ana it is con
sidered exceedingly well spent."
Mr. Kelly thought San Francisco should
he well provided in this respect in view of !
the number of parks and vacant lots in i
the city which are at present bring put to I
»b*olutrly no use. A. S. Baldwin thought |
th<* association should pledge itself to
provide the playgrounds asked for south
of Market street, Other directors were of
the same opinion. It was admitted that
in view of the state of the city's finances j
th^re was but little chance of securing
aid from the Board of Supervisors, and
finally on motion of Director Bundschu a
resolution was adopted pledging the as
sistance of the. association to the club
and directing the president to appoint a
committee of five to confer on the sub
ject with the department of education
repreenting the club. The joint commit
tee will meet in the club rooms in the Y.

THE GRAIN SCHEDULE
IS NOT RESCINDED
Blunder Committed by Lawyer Herrin,
Blackstock and Laumeister De
feats the Railroad
Scheme.
SOME one connected with the law
department of the Southern Pa
cific has blundered, and the blun
der places Commissioners Black
st"fk and Laumeister in a sorry
plight These Commissioners, in their
hast*' to obey the commands of \V. F.
Herrin. did not inform themselves of
the fact that the preceding Board of
Railroad Commissioners not only
adopted a series of resolutions reducing
rates, but in order to make the reduc
tion effective subsequently framed and
adopted a schedule of rates. Lau
meister and Blackstock. on May 9,
voted to rescind the resolutions
adopted by the old Board of Commis
sioners on September 14, 1595, but did
not rescind or suspend the schedule of
reduction which the board adopted on
September 16. 1895. in order to make the
resolutions effective.
The injunction against the eight per
'• nt grain reduction has been dis
missed by request" of the Southern Pa
cific Company, and the grain schedule
adopted by the old Board stands as it
stood on the day that the Southern Pa
cific Company received the twenty
days' notice of its adoption.
Following is a copy of the Blackstock
rescinding resolution adopted by the
present Board of Railroad Commis
sioners on May 10. 1899:
Whereas, On the 9th day of May,
IW. the Railroad Commission "f the
State of California passed and adopted
a resolution amending a resolution
by said board passed and adopted
April 24, 1599, repealing and rescinding
the resolutions adopted by said board
on the 13th and 14th days of Septem
ber, lS9n. providing for a reduction of
grain rates, etc.. and
Whereas. The board is of the opinion
that the case now pending in the Cir
cuit Court of the United States known
as the 'grain rate" case should be set
tled and the injunction against the
board be dissolved: but that the same
shall be done without further cost to
the State;
It is now therefore ordered and re
solved, that the Attorn-- General "f
the State of California be am! hereby
is instructed to secure a dismissal of
said case as soon as such dimissal can
be obtained, and upon the conditions
as to costs as herein indicated.
The resolution was adopted by the
votes of Blackstock and Laumeister,
Edson voting in the negative.

THE JAPANESE TRAINING-SHIP HIVE.
TRAINING SHIP
OF THE MIKADO
AGAIN IN PORT
Cruiser Hiyei Anchors
in the Harbor.
+
The Japanese training ship Hiyei ar
rived from Puget Sound yesterday. This
• is her second visit to this port with boys
and men learning the business of war.
About four years ago she came here from
Hawaii and after remaining in port a
month. proceeded north. On this occasion
she went direct to the Sound from Yoko
hama and from here will 'go to Honolulu.
The Hiyei is a composite vessel and be
j fore she became a schoolship was classed
as a "belted cruiser." She was built at i
j Milford Haven, England, in IS7S, and is of
! 2280 tons displacement. She is 231 feet
i long, 41 feet beam and 17 feet 5 inches
draft. She is bark rigged, but her en- '
gines, of 2270 Indicated horsepower, are ;
supposed to drive her at a speed of 13
knots. No attempt s ever made to get
j that speed out of her, however, and If

blunder there will be music in the yel
low building. The excuse that Railroad
Commissioners Laumelster and Black
stock adopted the rescinding order will
not go down. These Commissioners
went to Herrin's house to rehearse,
I and the head of the law department
should have taught them that the grain
schedule of September 25th should have
been revoked. How Herrln and his as
sistants happened to overlook the im
portant part of their work cannot be
explained at this time. Referring to
The Call of September 15, 1595, the fol
lowing is found among the general
resolutions providing for the reduc
tion:
Resolved, That this board proceed at
its earliest convenience to adopt a re
vised schedule of rates in accordance
herewith, in order that the same may
be in force on or before January 1,
l^9i» . and be it further
Resolved, That if the necessities of
the case so require this board will at
once proceed to the ascertainment of
the proportion of reduction due any
commodity which by reason of its na
ture requires to be moved between
now and the date herein fixed of the
taking effect of said general reduction.
The Call of October 9, 1895, respond
ing to the public demand for informa
tion regarding the reduction, made this
statement:
"The printed copy of the reduced
grain rate was served on the company
September 26, and therefore the new
rate does not go into effect until Oc
tober 16. The twenty days' notice be
gins to run only after a printed copy
of the schedule has been served on the
company."
The foregoing information was avail
able, Uut the Southern Pacific lawyers
and the two Southern Pacific commis
sioners were soanxious to undo the work
of the former board that they struck
at the first thing in sight.
Robert Y. Hayne, in his argument be
fore the United States Circuit Court,
clearly cited the distinction betweeen
the general resolutions and the sched
ule. This is tht- language used:
"So there is a provision that the
rates do not take effect until the twen
tieth day after the service of the
schedule, and that, of course, presup
poses that a schedule has been made.
But as to grain rates, there has been a
service of the schedule. As to the other
25 per cent reduction, the board has not
she. jogs along at an average of 8 knots
everybody aboard is satisfied. It took her
five days to come down here from Ta
coma.
Captain Nakayama is in command of
the Hiyei and has under him 15 officers,
58 midshipmen and 250 men. She will re
main here for several Weeks and the^erew
will be given shore liberty to-day. Some
of the officers came ashore yesterday.
They are a fine looking lot of men and
much above the average height of Jap
anese.
' The' British ship G. W. Wolff had a ter
rible time of it off the Horn during the
voyoge from Puget Sound to Cork. She
left Tacoma on December 24 with 57,154
centals of wheat valued at $55,250, shipped
by Gibson & Kerr. She arrived at Cork
on May 12 and was ordered to Antwerp.
The latter port was reached yesterday
and then the Dews of her troubles was tel
egraphed to. the Merchants' Exchange
here. Captain Barker says that the 1
weather was something unusual even for
the "Cape of Storms." The wind blow
with hurricane force and the G. W. Wolff
was thrown on her beam ends. The oar
go shifted, sails were blown out of the
bolt ropps, th.> cabin doors were smashed
in and the cabin tin >«]od ; the deckhouses
were damaged and the men's belongings
washed out of them: the hatch covers and
all things movable on deck were washed
overboard and when a sounding could be
made there was 10 feet of water in the
hold. The Wolff weathered the storm and i
reached Cork in the fair time of 139 days.
Both Captain Barker and his ship are
well known in San Francisco. %
The steamer Roanoke will sail for Pug.M
Sound to enter the Klondike trade in a
few days. Captain Kidston and Chief Of
ficer "Ferguson, who commanded the yes- !
sol when she was a transpo" " •■; .will go to
Norton Sound, on hep as passe: kers. Cap
tain Weaver and <'hijf Officer Spiers, late |
of the Valencia, will :'ake the vessel out. .;
Chief Steward Schubert will look after
the commissariat of the Roanoke. It was {
originally the intention 1 to run the- Roan- j
oke between Seattle and Dyea, but now
yet made any schedule. The conse
quence is that the 25 per cent reduction
has not yet gone into effect. As to
that, the action is entirely future. In
that regard the bill alleges as follows:
That, pursuant to said resolution,
said defendants have prepared sched
ules of grain rates in accordance
therewith, and on the L'6th day of Sep
tember. 1895, served the same upon
your orator, and are proceeding to pre
pare schedules of rates upon all other
classes of freight, in accordance with
said resolutions, and threaten to and
will at the earliest possible period, and
not later than January 1. 1896, unless
restrained by this honorable court, put
the same into force and effect, and will
attempt to compel your orator to
comply therewith.
"So that, according to the aver
ments of the bill, the service has been
made upon the complainant of the
schedules in relation to grain rates."
It is the judgment of lawyers that
the grain reduction schedule was not
disturbed by the adoption of the Black
stock resolutions. W. W. Foote and
Robert Y. Hayne entertain the opinion
that the grain schedule was not re
scinded by the Blackstock resolutions
and was not affected by the order of
the court dismissing the case. They
maintain that the schedule is now in
existence.
Last night this question was ad
dressed to Tirey L. Ford, Attorney Gen
eral: "Is me grain rate schedule of
the old board still in force?"
He replied: "This is a question that
has suddenly presented itself, and I
have not had time yet to examine it.
The question of costs is engaging my
attention just now and must first be
considered. Furthermore, the question
you ask is one that Is likely to reach
me officially through the Railroad Com
mission, and it would scarcely be
proper for me to express an opinion
thereon in advance."
It is surmised that ex-Railroad Com
missioner La Rue was the first man to
discover that Laumeister and Black
stock had made a mess of the repealing
job. The news reached the law depart
ment of the Southern Pacific yesterday.
C. P. Huntington may adopt extreme
measures, requiring Laumeister and
Blackstock to vote for a supplementary
resolution rescinding the grain rate
schedule.

GOLDEN GATE
COMMANDERY'S
INSTALLATION
The Ceremony Was a
Public One.
BEFORE BRILLIANT AUDIENCE
SWELLEST MASONIC EVENT OF
THE YEAR.
Reception to the Grand Master of
the Grand Encampment and
Grand Commander of
California.
The elected and appointed officers of
Golden Gate Commandery, Knights Tem
plar, were publicly installed in the main j
assembly hall of Golden Gate Asylum last
night.
For the occasion the hall was profusely
and most artistically decorated with bunt
ing, ferns and palms, while on the stage
were draped the emblematic colors of the
Knights, and at the station of the emi
nent commander in the east were the
American flag and the Beauseant, while
overhead was the red passion cross, and
which, being transparent, its brightness
was made apparent by the light burning
behind it. A very large red passion cross
rested on a field of silver lilies at the back
of the eminent commander's station. The
main body of the hall was occupied by the
Sir Knights of the commandery, in their
beautiful and attractive uniforms, and
each wore his white-plumed chapeau.
Back of these were a large number of la
dies and gentlemen, who filled every
I available bit of space, many standing
against the side walls. In the gallery
every seat was occupied, and there were
so many ladies in full dress that one was
reminded of a first night at the opera.
The stage was occupied by Most Eminent
end Grand Master of the Grand Encamp
ment of the United States R. H. Lloyd,
Past Grand Commander George D. Met
calfe", Charles E. Hyde, deputy grand
commander of the State of New York, and
: a number of high dignitaries of the order.
I The installing officer was the Right Em
| inent Sir John F. Merrill, who was as
sisted by Eminent Sir Jonathan M. Peel
as marshal.. The music incident to the
imposing ceremonies of the evening was
under the direction of Sir Samuel D.
Mayer and Frank Coffin, C. L. Gage and
Sir Knights J. R. Jones and W. C. Camp
bell. The captain general, Sir Harry D.
Loveland. and Junior Warden Sir Robert
W. Campbell being out of the city, and
Sir Herman J. Sadler, treasurer, and Sir
Thomas Kirkpatrick, standard bearer, be
ing ill, were not installed.
The following was the order of . exer
cises:
Entry of commandery, "Crusade March,"
; orchestra: prayer, prelate; "The Lord's Pray
er," choir; Installation of eminent commander;

] "The Christian Warriors"; Installation of re
i maining officers; music, "Holy Father," choir.
Then came the proclamation made to
i the East, the North, the South and the
I West, after which the deputy grand com
mander of the Stale of New York was
i presented and he made a few appropriate
remarks. This was followed by the pre
; sentation by Sir Knight J. M. Gassaway,
past grand commander of the District of
Columbia and worthy matron of Ivy Chap
ter of the Order of the Eastern Star, to E.
Sir Knight Charles 1.. Patton, the retiring
commander, of a magnificent jewel, con
sisting of the red passion cross, at the
jointure of which is a valuable solitaire
set in a sunburst of gold. Sir Knight
Gassaway then on Dehalf of the com
mandery presented to Mrs. C. L. Patton,
who is a prominent member of the Gold
en Gate Club, composed of the wives of
Sir Knights of the commandery, a snow
white case in which there was a silver
berry Bet, the bowl oeing rilled with red
and white roses, the offering being like
that to the retiring commander, an offer
ing of the love of the knights for the re
cipients on account of their zeal for the
commandery.
This was followed by a musicale, dur
ing which the following numbers were pre
sented: "Soldier's Song," C. L. Gage; "A
Song of Sunshine," Miss 1,. C. Sneider;
cornet solo, J. Bromberger; "Farewell,"
Frank Coffin; "Sunshine and Rain," W. i
C. Campbell; "The Star-spangled Ban
ner," by the orchestra. As a finale to the
exercises in the ball there was in one of
the parlors a reception to the M. E. R. H.
Lloyd, grand master of the Grand En
campment, and to R. E. Sir John F. Mer
rill, grand commander of the Grand Com

What Miss Lucy A. Heiser, a trained
nurse of eight years' experience and a
graduate of the Homeopathic Hospital
of Minneapolis, Minn., hero says of
Paine's celery compound vitally con-
cerns every suffering woman:
"I am glad to testify to the merits of
Paine's celery compound especially as
a tonic in cases of convalescence. I
have noticed very satisfactory results
with patients under my care when
Paine's celery compound was pre-
scribed."
The above indorsement is corrobo-
rated by the experience of Mrs. Hasei-
ton:
"We have been using your Paine's
celery compound in the Xazarene
Home for some months, and it is with
great pleasure that I can say that our
aged people have invariably been bene-
fited by Its use. I have been using it
myself, as has also my niece, and there
has been a marked improvement in our
health. I was very much run-down
after the winter's hard work, but am
feeling very much better. I have rec-
ommended it to a number of friends
outside of the Home, and they, too,
have been greatly pleased with the re-
sults. We shall never be without it in
the Home." Mrs. M. A. Haselton. Man-
ager Nazarene Home, 2032-2034 Colum-
bia Aye., Philadelphia, Pa.
Mrs. Chandler, President of the So-
ciety for the Promotion of Health.
Chicago, 111., says:
"Too constant application to work
has at times caused sick and nervous
headaches, very persistent and painful.
At such times Paine's celery compound
has afforded me quick relief, and I
know of nothing that will take its
place." Lucinda B. Chandler.

WILTSEE-NEWHOUSE CASE.
Maxim of "Unclean Hands'' Again
Discussed Bsfore Judge Ssawell!
The •"unclean hands" maxim that en
tered into the Newhouse-Wiltsee mining
case now on hearins before Juds-' Seawell
was again argued yesterday, but evidence
alleged to be in possession of the defense
tending to prove that Oscar N'ewhouse,
the plaintiff, had taken unfair advantage
of the defendant, whs not admitted by
the court. It is now said th;it thr- de
fense will again urge the point on evi
dence they claim to have proving that
Xfwhousp caused bills for various ma
terials, used in the. development of Wilt
see's properties, to be raised, cashed by
\Viltsee and the difference pocketed by
Newbouse. These charge? and like coun
ter charges have been woven into the case
sine., its beginning, hut the court up to
date has refused to consider them.
