SUIT AGAINST
THE EXECUTIVE
COUNCIL FALLS
Plaintiffs Claim They
Were Deceived.
DID NOT SIGN THE COMPLAINT
4)
NOTARY SMITH APPEARS IN A
BAD LIGHT.
♦
Talbott and Bourne Demand of At
torney Monroe to Withdraw
Their Names From the
Complaint.
The suit against the executive council of
the citizens' volunteer reception commit
tee haa practically ' fallen. Two of the
plaintiffs, John E. Talbott and William A.
Bourne, deny that they ever authorized
Attorney Henry' B. Monroe to Institute the
proceedings, and the .former, whose name
is appended w the complaint, denies that
he ever made affidavit to the instrument,
although It bears the notorial seal of Mrs.
K. W. Smith, a notary' public in the Mills
building.
Talbott says that about two weeks be
fore the California regiment was mustered
out of the service he was approached by
a man named John Keogh, who claimed
that he was "on the inside" and knew
that the executive council had "decided to
divide the surplus of the volunteer recep
tion fund into there parts and get away
with it." He argued that it should be di
vided among the soldier boys and sug
gested that a petition of that nature be
signed by them. He said that he was not
acting In the matter for his health, and
expected to make something out of it him
self. Keogh was acting as the agent of
Attorney Monroe.
At Keogh's house a few days later Tal
bott was presented with a typewritten pa-
per which Keogh represented to be the
petition he had mentioned, and asked the
soldier to sign it. Without reading the
document Talbott did as requested. He
did not swear to it before a notary-
Bourne was approached in a similar way
about ten days ago, and signed what pur
ported to be a petition to the executive
council to divide the funds. It now trans
pires that the paper was an authorization
to Monroe to commence the proceedings
which have resulted in presenting the at
torney in such an unenviable light before
the citizens of Ban Francisco. Reynolds,
the third one of the plaintiffs, cannot be
located.
bott and Bourne visited Attorney
Monroe yesterday and asked for an expla
nation. He told them that if they did not
care to go on with the. suit he would with
draw their names as plaintiffs. T^his they
demanded, but they were not entirely sat
isfied with such an arrangement. They
claim that the action of the attorney in
using them as his catspaw has greatly in
jured them in the community, and they
t>ropose to hold him to account. They
have made affidavits setting forth all the
facts as stated, and a thorough investiga
tion of the whole proceeding will be in
sisted upon. Notary Smith will be called
upon to do some explaining. She admits
that Talbott never appeared before her to
make the affidavit on the complaint to
which her certificate is attached.
LAWYER MACCABE DIED
OF A BROKEN SKULL
PROMINENT MARKET STREET
FIGURE GONE.
At Seventy Years of Age He Married
a Young Woman and She Left
Him, Whereupon He
Took to Drink.
I. J. Maccabe, the attorney who frac
tured his skull by a fall in a florist's shop
on Larkin street last Wednesday night,
died in the City Receiving Hospital at
4:50 a. m. yesterday. The body was taken
to the Morgue and an Inquest will be held
to-day.
Maccabe's death was brought about in
a singular way. He had been drinking
to excess since his young wife deserted
him several months ago. On Wednesday
evening while on his way to visit his
old friend, Police Sergeant Moffit, he
Htepped into a florist's shop to buy a
bouquet for Mrs. Moffit. While waiting
he reeled and fell heavily to the Boor,
striking the back of his head against a
corner of the counter, fracturing his skull.
The unfortunate man was picked up In an
unconscious condition and taken to the
City Receiving Hospital, in which place
he remained until he died.
Maccabe was a native of Ireland and
was about 70 years old. although he looked
twenty years younger. He practiced In
Denver, Colo., for a while before coming
to this city, "divorces obtained or no fee,"
being his motto. Eight years ago he came
to San Francisco and put up his shingle
on Market street, proclaiming himself as
"The People's Lawyer" and offering ad
vice "free of charge."
Sergeant Moffit notified Coroner Hill
yesterday that he would take charge of
the funeral, Maccabe not having a dollar
to his name.

My mother has been a victim to ulcers from

suffering were endured, with all sorts of remedies
on trial and numberless physicians' calls and
proscriptions applied, but all practically with
but little benefit. However, at last the remedial
agent was found in Cuticura (ointment), which
surely proved its weight in gold, alleviating pain
and causing healing processes to commence and
a cure speedily effected. She has, also, used
Cuticcra with marked benefit in erysipelas
Of the face and eczema. The Cuticura Soap,
also, has established a record only as the best
cleansing, purifying, and healing in its nature,
having proved itself a most excellent and valu-
able auxiliary to the Cutiouoa (ointment).
I would remark that this testimonial is entirely
unsolicited, being a voluntary contribution for
humanity's sake, and the commendation of the

being satisfied of their purity, genuineness, and

The transport Conemaugh arrived from
Manila yesterday after a passage of thir

came home on the Conemaugh. They say
their quarters on the Newport were not
fit to live in and the food was disgusting.
They therefore seized the first opportu
nity to leave the vessel. The United States
Consul at Nagasaki sent them home on
the Conemaugh. Among them were fif

INVESTIGATED
MAIL SYSTEMS
OF EUROPEANS
♦ ; j
Congressman ; Loud
Back From Abroad.
4, . ;
Congressman Eugene F. , Loud returned
yesterday from a three months' trip
through some of the principal countries
of Europe, where he had gene to investi
gate the postal systems in' vogue there
for the purpose of adapting to our sys
tem any desirable Improvements he might
find. His daughter accompanied him on
the trip. Congressman Louts was in Paris
during the height of the Dreyfus excite
ment and made some interesting com
ments thereon in the course of an inter
view. He went to Europe '.on behalf of
the Postal Commission, which was cre
ated by Congress two years ago and of
which body he is a member. Speaking
of the official part of his trip he said:
"I went to Europe to Investigate the
postal systems there for tile purpose of
making comparisons with oiir own, more
particularly as to cost. I have, however,
been unable to work up ail the figures,
and it will be a month before I will be
able to do so. We found it a- difficult mat
ter to get the kind of Information we
wanted. We had to get a little here and
a little there as best we could. To illus
trate, we desired to ascertain what cer
tain railroads were paid for: carrying the
mails. We got the price, but we then had
to go through a lot of records to ascer
tain the mileage of the roads and the
amount of mall matter they transported.
"I found nothing in Europe that was an
improvement on the service we have.
Without boasting, I think our service is
superior to any in the world, and when
we consider the high wage's we pay in
comparison with the wages paid in
Europe it is surprising thai our service
is as economically handled as it is. We
pay four and five times as touch for ser
vice as they do in Europe. I The English
service is the highest paid in Europe. The
highest salary a man may gain there is
80 shillings, equal to about 47 50, a week.
They begin at 18 and work tip to 30 shil
lings. This applies to clerks,' carriers and
railway mail clerks. Our postofflce clerks
average $900 a year and begin at $600. Our
carriers average $950 and get, $1000 after
two years, while railway mail clerks aver
age $1050. Yet . our service son the whole
is about as cheaply managed. as theirs
This is largely due to the svstemlzing of
the work with us- and to th™ fact that
our men do more work than- the men em
ployed in the European countries. This
applies to all branches of business."
London, Paris and Berlin ! were visited
officially by Congressman Loud, but he
also traveled through Belgium and Hol
land. Referring to his experiences in
Paris he said: i' i
"I was in the French capital all through
the Dreyfus excitement. It. was a dif
ficult matter to get at the real sentiment
of the people on this sublet. ! I was told
by a gentleman who has been connected
= -
MISS MINDEL DREYFUSS.
with a foreign legation in Paris for
twenty years that the sentiment of the
better class of people was for Dreyfus,
but that the lower classes, being' more
closely allied with the army, were against
Dreyfus. I will say this, if it were not
for the English and American newspapers
which we get there we would not have
known that there was any excitement in
Paris. I reached London after the riot
had taken place in Paris, and I was ad
vised not to go there. When I arrived at
Paris I saw no indications of any trouble.
The people there did not seem to appre
ciate that anything extraordinary was
transpiring."
KOPP WAS HEARTLESS.
His Daughter Testifies *in Favor of
Her Mother, Who Shot Him.
Evidence to prove that Mrs. Louisa
Kopp was justified in ending her hus
band's life on June 28 last was produced
yesterday in Judge Dunne's court during
the trial of the woman on a charge of
manslaughter. Miss Amanda Kopp,
daughter of the defendant, was again
placed on the stand by her attorneys, and
said that her dead father never con
cealed his attachment for. Mrs. Monte,
the widow, who was the Immediate cause
of the killing. The young witness testi
fied that on frequent occasions her father
threatened her mother with a hammer,
and one time struck her with It. Again
he used a piece of a chandalier as a
weapon, and on another occasion choked
his wife. In order to make her life the
harder to bear he inserted an advertise
ment in the papers to the effect that he
would not be responsible for any debts
contracted by her. When Mrs. Kopp saw
the advertisement, the daughter said, it
almost broke her heart, and she did not
recover from the nervous strain for some
time.
Mrs. Monte remains in court most of the
day and is an interested listener, and, not
withstanding the relation she bears to the
case, she will not be called as a witness.
The case will probably reach the Jury to
day.

SAN FRANCISCO
DROPPED MONEY
IN THE CANAL
Right to Dig Ended on
Tuesday.
— —
BONDS BECAME WORTHLESS
♦ .
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND THE
LOCAL LOSS.
♦ ■
Funds Were Subscribed During the
Period of Enthusiasm When
the Outlook Seemed Bright
for Nicaragua Ditch!
During the present week Nicaragua
canal securities to the amount of $200,000
or upward, held by San Francisco mer
chants mainly, have become valueless.
That amount approximately represents
the actual cash help San Francisco gave
to the Nicaragua canal,, in addition to
years of hard work to promote that pro
ject. No one says anything about the loss,
for it has been foreseen for some time
that It was inevitable. The concession j
under which Warner Miller and his asso
ciates operated until the funds gave out
expired by limitation last Tuesday.
Under the concession given to the Eyre-
Cragin syndicate, Nicaragua is estopped
from entering into any dicker for the re-;
newal of any contract with the Warner |
Miller or any other companies. The Eyre- ■
Cragin contract is in actual force. The |
stocks and bonds issued by the Nicaragua j
Construction and Nicaragua Maritime Ca- ;
nal companies were necessarily based on
the possibility of completing the canal. in ;
cash something like $0,000,0u0 has been ex- ■
tended on the ditch. Now the exclusive
privilege to build a canal in Nicaragua :
has passed into other hands and the new j
contract runs for 500 years.
It will be recalled that Senator Miller |
visited this city and opened headquarters j
for the taking of subscriptions for Nica- ;
ragua canal securities a few years ago. |
Local subscribers, in common with many j
subscribers in the East, who took bonds I
of the Construction Company, got as a j
bonus a certain proportion of stock of '
the Maritime Canal Company. The Con- i
struction Company and the Maritime Ca- j
nal Company were controlled by the same :
men, and Warner Miller was the head of j
the enterprise. There was much local en- i
thusiasm upon the occasion of that visit |
of Senator Miller. Committees of citizens j
co-operated with the Chamber of Com- j
merce, which manifested lively interest j
in the work. One large business house
took securities to the amount of $10,000.
Others subscribed .lesser amounts.
It is difficult to get at the exact total of
the Investments at that time. The Bank j
of California acted in a fiduciary capa
city, but subscriptions were taken of j
which the bank had no knowledge. The !
prospect for building the canal then
seemed to be very bright and the move
ment was at the height of its local popu
larity. Had other parts of the United
States responded as well proportionately
as did San Francisco the necessary funds
might have been raised. They did not do
so and Congress failed to support the en
terprise and it has failed for the present.
The San Francisco bond subscriptions
were not a total loss. The bonds carried
interest at the rate of 6 per cent per an
num, and this interest has been regularly
paid. Most of the subscribers Invested
because of public spirit. At the same time
the investment looked to be a very fair
one. Warner Miller and his associates
worked under the Cardenas-Menocal con
tract. The following extract from the
contract made between the Government
of Nicaragua and Eyre-Cragin tells of
ficially the fate of the first named con
tract: '
It la understood, for the purposes of this
contract, that the Cardenas-Menocal contract
shall cease on the Sth day of October, 1599; and
therefore, all the foregoing stipulations shall
take effect without necessity of further ac
tion, declaration or law, on the 10th day of Oc
tober, 1899, or sooner, should the Messrs. Eyre
and Cragin, their heirs or assigns, obtain the
rescission of the Cardenas-Menocal contract.
FRAUDULENT PENSION CLAIMS.
United States Marshal Shine yesterday
arrested William Leland, an Inmate of
the National Soldiers' Home in Yount
ville, Napa County, on a warrant issued
by the United States Attorney at Au
gusta, Me., charging Iceland with having
sworn falsely to a claim for a pension.
The crime was alleged to have been com
mitted in Chelsea, Me., in October, 1897.
The Federal authorities of the State of
Maine have been looking for Leland ever
since. Marshal Shine was notified only a
short time ago and succeeded in landing
his man. Mr. Shine will take the prisoner
back to Maine.

The public will never cease to entertain a
particular affection for operas like "Girofle-
Girofla," wherein jolly music and bright dia-
logue unite in producing a pleasant entertain-
ment. One thing must be put to the credit
of the Grand Opera-house and that ie the
pains taken in the production of its plays.

always a chic appearance. Alfred Metzger la
