DRAGGED IN THE MIRE
OF DAN BURNS' SHAME
Leon Dennery Chosen Secretary of
the Board of Health.
The Mexican's Creatures Obay His Commands to the
a Motley Herd Appointed to Administer
Health Affairs for the City.
EHE Board of Health presented
■ ■ last night :i spectacle of in
decent, official degradation that
I Is perhaps without parallel in
" the history of the city. The
members of the board drank the nau
seating dose of blackguard patronage
presented to them by Dan Burns, and
rined in disgust even at their own
/actions. : They, were forced to sacrifice
their, personal and professional reputa
tions, to dishonor themselves in the
: ?y<?s of their friends and of the public,
.;to cover themselves with humiliating
shame and appoint to public office the
ruffianly crew selected by their political
master. .
The scene was pitiable in a public
place. It seemed an act of gratuitous
maliciousness to force decent men so
to debase themselves at the dictation
<>f a political outlaw. But the mem
bers of ..the board had to submit. If
they had not done so Burns would have
dismissed them from their positions as
contemptuously as he would discard a
shoe which did not fit him. The mem
bers of the Board <>f Health are his
creatures and their only pledge and as
surance of official station is their syco
phancy to him.
So they became last night his official
lackeys. They placed themselves cheek
by Jowl with the unspeakable Dennery,
lifting his disgusting personality Into
their own nest. They brushed shoul
ders In fraternal goodfellowshlp with
the 111-smelling, vile-mouthed, foul
brained denizens of the tenderloin who
become public servants because they
are in the train of Burns. The mem
bers of the board followed their in
structions to the letter. Each was pro
vided with a typewritten list of ap
pointments and each in turn proposed
shamefacedly the name of a favorite of
the Mexican for an allotted position.
There was no deviation, no suggestion
■ of independence of action.
As a spectator marked "It is bad
enough to submit to the indignity of
• another man's lash, but it seems to me
the' limit of endurance is passed when
.'ft man must drag himself through the
mir.e of another man's shame and then
exhibit himself to public scorn." But
the Mexican's command had been given
find it was obeyed. The programme as
foreshadowed in The '"all was carried
out with one exception.
.Long before the meeting was called
tn order the rooms of the board were
crowded by a motley herd, whose pres
ence made it necessary frequent to
open the windows as a measure of
sanitary precaution. At 9 o'clock the
board convened. After the transac
tion of some routine business Dr. Cof
fey arose, and hesitatingly moved to
declare the position of secretary va
cant. There was a buzz of expectancy,
and Secretary Dunne presented a
written protest against removal. It
was ignored, and Secretary Dunne's
officialhoad was decapitated.
Then fo.llowed one of the dramatic :
■incidents of the session. Dr. Coffey
moved that Leon ] '••!■ !.••!■;. be appoint
ed to. fill the vacancy. There was a
murmur of surprise In the room. The
sound- seemed to strike Dr. Coffey like
a ; 'blow. His face flushed until it was
crimson, and some one said pityingly
that the young physician was not yet
altogether lost to shame. He probably
fe.]twhat the name of Dennery typi
,fies,-'and he is not yet ready to accept
. tho-:cnnsequencvs of his own action.
He-is not yet ready to admit thai since
.; he .■■<!!<] not raise Dennery to his own
level, he has sunk to thai of Dennery.
.... Dr. < 'offey sal down and Leon Den
• riery was unanimously elected secre
tary. Mayor Phelan was not there
and did not attend during the evening. |
: .Dr-rihery's friends, us a matter of j
course, are gratified at his appoint- i
merit. They take it as a vindication!
«>f is manner and method of life.
Four reputable physicians have made
him their official equal, arid it is only \
■ an imaginary line that divides the offi
cial .from the Individual. As an equal
of the members of the Board of
Health, it is suggested that Dennery
be dined by I >■■ boa at the home of
John. I. Sabin, th father-in law ■■• Dr.
Payne, ' for . example, in honor of the re
habilitation of '■'■■ tenderloin's most
disgusting representative.
After the. election of Dennery the ap
pointments came quickly. The next in '
Importance was that of Assemblyman
L.. A. Devoto to succeed J. p. Dockery
as .Chief Food Inspector. All thai 1 >■•
VOtO knows about food is to eat it. His
qualification for the position to which
he has been chosen is thai he voted
..for Burns for Senator and will do so
again at the extra session of the Legis
lature. The position of Food Inspector
is the bribe of allegiance to the Mexi
can.
The next head to fall was that of
Ben Davis, the Market Inspector. The
prize went to William Gans, a friend
of Senator Eddy Wolfe. In the ap
pointment of Gans there is a disap
pointment. The place was promised
by Burns to Mike Dunn, bunko man,
ex-saloon keeper and rounder. The
friends of Dunn are justly indignant at
his defeat. They admit with the frank
- ness of their breed that his appoint
ment would have been an outrage upon
the city, but they justly insist that
purih Us a paragon of respectability in
comparison with Dennery, and the
honorable physicians who could place
a Denn.ery in their nest would befoul it
no more by throwing in a Dunn.
But there is compensation In all
games and the disconsolate may find
some balm In the fact that the Board
of ' Health has appointed Long John
Wilkins messenger to the Quarantine
Officer. Long John has been a night
mare to a political generation. He has
haunted with his unwelcome presence
every political gathering for years, and
at last the Mexican has thrown him in
with 'the rest in the political refuse
created by the Board of Health.
' The members of the board demon
strate last night that Burns has a
nice discrimination In the distribution
of his favors. He has taken care of
Ed Niles, late of Los Angeles. Every
body knows Ed Xlles, the blajid, small
seeking attendant of power, living in
the sun of anybody's favor and grasp
ing with feeble grasp on the fringe of
that nondescript class known as men
of the world. Ed has at last got a Job.
He is now Afslstant Dislnterment In
spector, with full authority to dig up
dead Chinese and other things. It
se< ms like trifling with the dead, but
| the Mexican must rind berths for his
retainers.
And so the appointments went last
night down the line. The hospitals and
Almshouse were invaded to find places.
Inspectors, matron?, engineers, pate
keepers, watchmen, gardeners, deck
hands went the slippery road nut of of
fice. Nothing was too small to be over
; looked. But there may be a saving
Be to it all. The raid of the Mexi
can may not be so serious after all.
The Supervisors have pledged them
selves to a dollar limit in taxation.
That will mean that provision will be
made only for the statutory places In
the gift of the Hoard of Heaith. This
will mean an appropriation of (21,000
instead of $70,000. which was granted
last yea,r.

Raisin -Seeding Plant for Woodland.
WOODLAND, June 27.— The Chico ral
sin-seeding plant is to be removed to

THE SAN FBANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1899.
THE PRESIDIO IS
A MONTE CARLO
THE Presidio is a veritable Monte Carlo. Despite the fact that there is
a regulation in the army prohibiting gambling, games of crap and
chuck-a-luck operated upon a large and princely scale are running
under the very nose of the commanding officer. It is not the fault of
Colonel Freeman, for he is about as powerless to put an end to the
evil as the lowest private upon the reservation. This is the case for the rea
son that the soldiers who are running the games have dozens of "lookouts"
on guard, who at the first sight of an officer pass the signal and the game
disappears as completely as If It had been swallowed up by the earth.
Yesterday there were two games of crap and one of chuck-a-luck running
In full blast just In the rear of the quarters of the Twenty-fourth Infantry
below the adjutant's office. There Is no limit to the games and a soldier may
wager an entire month's pay upon one turn of the bones If be so desires.
The men shoot for any amount from 10 cents up, and it can be safely esti
mated that several hundred dollars a day are made by the operators of the
banks. Of course on pay day the games are largely patronized, but a soldier
and his money are soon parted, and as a consequence few of them have a
cent the next day unless they have a run of marvelous luck.
CRUELTY TO A HORSE.
Question of Veracity Between a Po
liceman and Louis Anixter, the
Driver of a Milk Wagon.
Louis Anlxter, the driver of n milk
wagon for his uncle. Harris Anixter,
Devisadero street, appeared before judg*-
Graham yesterday on the charge of
cruelty tn animals. Policeman Rlley tes
tified that about 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing he saw the defendant on Pierce street,
rear Waller, striking his horse on the
face with his fist, kicking it in the stom
ach and bringing it on the ribs with an
■ mpty milk can. The wheels of the wagon
had g^it stuck In a rut on the roadway.
The officer shied a rock at the horse him
self i" make it go.
He rliri not think much of the treatment
of the horse under the circumstances, but
about twenty minutes later he reached
Scott street and saw the defendant lie
laboring the horse with a board. Ttv-n
he considered be was acting cruelly, as
the wagon wheels were not in a rut. and
he placed him under arrest.
Anixter denied thai there was any truth
in the officer's story, and his uncle took

BY THE ARCHBISHOP
Rev, Patrick T. Collodu, Who Will Enter the Priest
hood To-Morrow Morning,
<y7TP X event of importance in Catholic circles will take place to-morrow
I \\ morning in St. Mary's Cathedral. Rev, P. T. Collopy, a young md
ll —^.\ brilliant candidate, is t" l> ordained to the hob' priesthood by his
[j \^Grace Archbishop Riordan with all the solemn ceremonies attendant

in the morning and will be participated In by many priests of the diocose.
Mr. Collopy, who is to be ordained, Is .i native son. having been born In

NO HARMONY
IN THE CAMP
OF DEMOCRATS
Heap of Trouble on
Phelan's Mind.
HIGH TREASON IS SUSPECTED
CLUBS EXISTING ONLY IN FANCY
INDORSE THE MAYOR.
Rainey Is Selected as the Outcast
to Suffer for the Sins
of All the Other
Bosses.
The camp of local Democrats 1b
crowded with politicians who are eager
to boss the party in the next municipal
campaign. The vast patronage under
the new charter Is the prize in view.
The high-handed usurpation of author
ity by the so-called Democratic County
Committee has provoked a spirit of
hostility in the ranks that threatens an
open revolt. To-day the moving fac
tions manifest so much bitterness that
party leaders predict disaster to the
Democrats in the next election.
There is a heap of political trouble on
Mayor Phelan's mind. One faction of
the party, that claims the exclusive
privilege of providing a pedestal for
the Mayor and conducting the exercises
of adoration, is assailed by A. M. Law
rence. The story goes that Lawrence
has broken with the Committee of One
Hundred because he cannot manage
the executive committee of twenty
which Jasper McDonald recently ap
pointed. The cause assigned for the
break is the report that the executive
committee has resolved to recognize
certain Assembly clubs as official or
ganizations. Mr. McDonald asserts
that no such recognition is promised,
but Lawrence is apprehensive of dan
ger to his scheme in this direction.
A supporter of the One Hundred re
marks: "For a lightweight in politics
Lawrence is playing a heavy game.
He has taken Into his confidence ex
boodlers and old-time outcasts. He
instructs them to get out and shout for
Phelan, to organize independent clubs
and adopt glowing resolutions of con
fidence in the Mayor's integrity as a
citizen and his speed as a political
runner. The game Is to convince the
Mayor that the people cannot be happy
without him. It is the hope that the
Mayor will be thus lulled to sleep by
the soft music of the praise service,
and that while he sleepeth Lawrence
may get ample time to do politics with
Rainey's men."
The leaders of the Committee of
One Hundred are certainly anxious to
convince the Mayor that they own the
works. They want him to understand
that the fountain of inspiration for the
next municipal campaign is in the
Columbian building. Accordingly they
have given Phelan some pointers to en
lighten him as to Lawrence's duplicity.
In the first place they have given to
Un> Mayor positive proof that one of
the great mass-meetings which in
dorsed him, and which was heralded
by Lawrence as a great outpouring of
independent Democrats, was attended
by only six persons. Proof was given
to the Mayor that many of the clubs
reported as having organized and
adopted Phelan resolutions do not exist
now and were never organized. The
resolutions were simply sent in for
publication 1 by rounders. The repre
sentatives of the Committee of One
undred also told Phelan that Law-
rence was ambitious to become a
"boss," and with the assistance of
Rainey's m<">n hoped to make the ticket
in all respects save that of Mayor.
The story comes that Phelan is get
tins very uneasy. He suspects that
Lawrence Is nut sincere. When it
comes to naming Supervisors it must
be confessed that Lawrence can hardly
l>ick nut a worse lot than Phelan once
selected. There are a great many Dem
ocrats, however, contending that the
convention should nominate the ticket
and that the bosses, hip and little,
should be compelled to stand aside.
It would be very embarrassing for
Lawrence at this time to point out any
dubs for official designation. His In
dependent organizations belong to the
realm of fancy, while the Buckley clubs
and the organization formed under the
auspices of the executive committee
are bands of visible and veritable roar
ing Democrats.
The Democratic municipal campaign,
so far as it relates to the renomina
tion of Mayor Phelan, is to be con
ducted under a pretense of rebuking
the bosses. Some particular boss is to
be selected as the "bogie man" of poli
tics. Rumor goes that Rainey, whose
abdication was heralded a few weeks
ago, is to take the role of had man.
He is to be execrated and driven to
his Ldvermore ranch. The programme
is still elastic and may be warped to
meet new conditions. The political
managers of the Southern Pacific bu
reau may introduce some original
features in the campaign. A boss
other than Rainey may be put up for
public execution. It is a sure thing,
however, that Phelan will be put for
ward as the arch enemy of the boss in
local politics.
PRIMARY OFFICERS.
Election Commissioners Act Upon
Three More Districts.
The Election Commissioners had a busy
day df ii yi sterday. They mcl tirst in the
morning and transacted routine business,
ami again ai night, when a large number
of voters were examined us to their ir-;-il
iflcations to serve us election officers for
tin- primary election on August S.
At the morning session Registrar Step
pacher reported that registration was in
creasing and promised to be satisfactory.
Bids for printing and stationery were
opened and the contract for printing was
awarded to the Commercial Publishing
Company for XlSft. Cunningham, Curtlss
& Welch received the contract for sta
tionery. their bid of $."iO being the luwst.
The board decided to erect election
booths except in precincts where ,1 •■;■
cant .store could be rented ai less tlvin
$17 TiO, the cost of erecting booth*:.
In the evening the board examined
several hundred voters, who had been
summoned in accordance with tho v>ro
visions of the new primary law. Men to
fill the vacancies in the precinct boards of
the Thirtieth District were firs; called.
and more than a sufficient number were
nnss"d temporarily. Then in turn the
Thirty-first. Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth districts were taken up. The plan
proved pntirely satisfactory, in many of
the precincts more than the number re
quired being: found who will be ablo to
serve. These names will be considered
to-day and the selections made. The
Thirty-fifth District was not acted upon,
the board excusing the persons summoned
until Thursday night, to which time the
board adjourned. Besides the Thirty

Meeting of the Executive Committee
in the New Headquarters in the
Columbia Building.
Thf executive committee of the Demo
cratic Committee of One Hundred mrt in
Its now quarters in the Columbia build-
Ing last evening. As yet the room* are
! not prepossessing, but they will be bet-
I tered later, and to that end it has been
! decided to let out a. little of the patronage.
There will be an assistant secretary ap
pointed, whose business it will be to sit
in the rooms of the committee and extend
a glad hand and winsome smile to any
of the faithful who may wish to spend
the day in one of the chairs.
The distribution of this bit of patronage
was considered sufficiently momentous
by the executive committee to warrant
the nppointment of a special committee of
three to see that the right man gets it.
So far the only man spoken >>f is that vet
eran place-holder J. H. Zemansky, who
has just emerged from the Registrar' 5 ; of
fice under the turn of affairs political.
The committee on assistant secretary is
composed of Howard Park. George Mc-
I Gilivray and Barna McKenna. The com
mittee "promises to furnish a suitable as
sistant secretary within ;i few days, and
one who will put in all his spare time in
the headquarters.
Most of the time of the committee was
spent in listening to Mr. McCarthy, who
had a few words to say on nearly every
thing brought up. He was responsible
for the idea that something ought to be
done to bring out a big vote on August
S. and he moved that a committee of three
be appointed to prepare an address to the
voters upon the subject. The committee
will be appointed later, 'he chair decid
ing that it would take some time to pick
out the literary geniuses of the organiza
tion.
M H. Hernan of the committee on
registration stirred up a parliamentary
tangle that t"ok tho remaining part of
the session to unravel. It was whether or
not the registration committee could be
charged with the task of supervising the
roll of Democrats who had hern nr would
be appointed to serve as election officers.
It was finally decided that the matter
should be left tn the registration com
mittee, as was suggested in the first
place. The Registrar will be notified that:
tiic members of that committee will offi
cially represent the Democratic party in
tlu> matter of election officers. The mem
bers of the committee are M. H. Hernan,
J. li. Grady. Barna McKenna. P. li Mc-
Carthy and YV. D. Farren. They will call
on the Registrar to-day.
Maxwell, for the finance committee, re
: ported progress and then went on to tell
i what good work the committee had done.
! It seems it will not be necessary to assess
! any of the followers of the Democratic
| prophet if the Committee of One Hun
dred will only come to the front. That it
I will has been promised by several who.
! however, did not at the timp speak for the
: whole committee. This Mr. Maxwell was
j careful to explain, though at the same
' time ho threw out a hope of financial im
munity that was refreshing and reassur
: Inir.
The committee on hall pointed with
! pride to the uncarpeted rocms and an
nounced that the janitor of the building
would keep them clean without extra ex
' pense. One man of discernment. Mr. Far
ren. observed that there were no acoom
! modations for the press, and the hall
i committee was ordered to add the re
i <)tiired furnishing. Maxwell was the first
I to get tired, and he moved to adjourn, a
motion that met with favor, and the com
i mltteemen departed.
There was a short meeting of the regis
tration committee after the executive
committee had adjourned, the result of
! which was that the "press is requested to
j call attention to the fact that unless a
i man registers his removal from his pre
viously registered address by July 8 he
i will forfeit the privilege of voting, for
! July S is the limit of time for the record-
I ing of changes of residence."
