ANDREWS THREATENED
BY LETTER-WRITERS
Dark Warnings Sent
to Foreman of the
Grand Jury.
GRIM warnings have no dread for Foreman Andrews,
though the malls bring them almost daily from miser
able writers who sign no name. Threats of violence
because of the Grand Jury's activities against vice and
wrongdoing continue to be made anonymously despite tre
attitude of indifference on the part of the Inquisitorial
body's leading factor. He regards them lightly -and for
weeks has divulged to no one that cowardly attempts to deter
his work were being made persistently. On the other hand
the foreman has received many letters offering encourage
ment and even financial aid to prosecute the Grand Jury's
work. Andrews says $20,000 would be available within a
week trom public donation if the money were needed.
Thomas P. Andrews, foreman of the
Grand Jury, Is a target nowadays for
the anonymous letter "writer. His en
ergetic efforts to ferret out the wrong
doer have brought upon his head a de
luge of cowardly threats to do him
violence. The letters began coming
several weeks affo — 6ome in script that
was miserable, others indicating a
defter ,hand. A few were of grim
import and told of dark streets to be
avoided. There has been a deluge of
denunciation, both as to personal char
acter and public acts.
No one worries less about the shud
dery missives than does the foreman
himself. He laughs heartily whenever
they are discussed. •"Oh. they were
written by some Irresponsible cranks
or by the hangers-on about the dens
of vice that we have raided," says An
drews when it is suggested that the
letters ought not be treated too lightly.
Even the other members of the
Grand Jury have not been told of the
contents of the anonymous missives.
The foreman refuses absolutely to let
any one see them. "Too insignificant
a matter," he declares. He is preserv
ing them, however, and when the
Grand Jury and its work shall have
gone into oblivion he will make up a
scrapbook of the choicest ones for the
entertainment of his friends.
Xo attempt has been made to trace
down the writers of the letters. This
Is because Andrews has kept his own
counsel and ignored the threats. Had
he submitted the matter to his col
leagues they would undoubtedly have
taken tome action. It is only recent
ly that Andrews has divulged the fact
that he was being threatened.
TREATS LETTERS LJGHTT/T.
"Owing to my position at the head
of the inquisitorial body," explained
the foreman yesterday, "my name has
appeared more frequently In the pub
lic prints thaa that of any other mem
ber. It has looked possibly as if I
was doing all the aggressive work. Of
course, a Grand Jury is calculated to
stir animosities in its work of hunt
ing out evil-doers. Slander and threats
are to be expected.
I have all along treated these
anonymous communications as a huge
jcke. It would belittle me to give them
OUt for publication. The truth is that
we have been receiving so many
anonymous « letters here that we are
jrfciting tired of them and many go into
the waste basket without being read.
"1 am not to be frightened out of doing
my duty as long as lam foreman of the
Grand Jury. But all these letters I
have received are of so foolish a char
acter that I would not ascribe to them
the dignity of being an effort to de
ter me*
"The only unpleasant experience I
have had thus far with a crowd
of saloon bums, and they didn't worry
me at all. One evening during the raid
ing season I was standing in front of
1129 Dupont street. Lieutenant Conboy
of the Police Department was with me.
Evidently word had been passed into
a near-by saloon, for presently a gang
came out to the sidewalk, and they
muttered and pointed their fingers at
me. Their voices grew louder, and I
could hear epithets, directed probably
at me.
"I was feeling: rather brisk that
evening and was perfectly willing to
go a round with any of those fellows.
The gang seemed to come to the same
conclusion, for it became less boister
ous, gradually subsided and finally
withdrew into the 6aioon."
OFFER FIN'AXCIAJL AID.
All the letters that are received at
the Grand Jury rooms are not of a
fearsome nature, however. On the con
trary, citizens have not been remiss in
encouraging the public inquisitors in
their work. Many missives express
hearty commendation. The number of
such communications heap up evidence
of a widespread interest In the efforts
of the Grand Jury. The campaign
against places of vice, particularly 620
Jackson street and 1129 Dupont street,
haa brought forth hundreds of letters
of approval.
The words of encouragement are
backed up in many instances with of
fers of financial aid. Many have writ
ten that they would be glad to con
tribute to. a fund for Grand Jury ex
penses if money is needed. Thus far
the inquisitors have not been hindered
by want of funds. All that has been
needed has been available from the
city treasury through the court orders
of Judge Liawlor.
"We have not had occasion to accept
any of these offers," said Foreman An
drews yesterday. "Despite Mayor
Schmitz's protestations I do not under
stand that the Grand Jury has been
shut off from funds in the municipal
treasury. Judge Lawlor and Auditor
Baehr will continue to pass our de
mands for expense money.
"But if we were in need of funds I
am assured that we could raise $20,000
in a week's time from public subscrip
tions to carry on our investigations. It
would surprise you to know how many
offers of financial assistance we have
received from people who want to help
us if we are cramped by a shortage of
money. But I do not think It would
be good policy to accept the offers.
The provision made by law Is the prop
er source of Grand Jury funds. No
question can then be raised as to out
side Influences."
The Grand Jury •will meet this aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock In its Mills build
ing quarters. The report of Architect
Newton J. Than?, who has inspected
all the theaters and showhouses of the
city, will be ready for presentation.
Hardly any of them were found to
comply with the fire ordinances, and
at least one is regarded as a flretrap.
It Is possible that drastic measures will
be advteed in some Instances.
Morris Levy, secretary to the Board
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1905.
of Public Works, yesterday turned
over to Foreman Andrews the $100 that
he has kept on hand for over a year
without warrant of law, the Grand
Jury» says. It was paid to him as a
deposit for the purchase of Confiscated
property at the "corporation yard,"
but forfeited by the man who came to
the conclusion that he had made a bad
bargain. Levy will resign his position
on March 1, having made announce
ment to this effect some time ago.
BYINGTON ANSWERS SUITS.
Alleges That Violation of Resort Or-
dinances Justifies Police Raids.
Diatrict Attorney Byington filed his
answer yesterday on behalf of the Po
lice Department, Grand Jury and
Sheriff, defendants m^the suit brought
by Elysa Malenolre and seven other
proprietresses of houses on Belden
place for an injunction restraining
raids upon their resorts. He declares
that the houses in Question are used
for evil purposes and are a menace to
the peace and good morals of the
neighborhood. Arrests, he asserts,
are being made pursuant to warrants,
of persons actually inmates or patrons
of the resorts.
Mr. Byington also filed answers to
the suits of Sebastian Ravani and Ed
ward Moran, which resulted in the
temporary stoppage of police raids at
620 Jackson street.
CRASHES THROUGH THE ICE.
Mr. Triplett confined to his bed with
pneumonia owing to an unexpected
plunge in the lake. It was thought at
first that his own weight was respon
sible for the ice breaking, but an in
vestigation of the matter disclosed the
fact that his small nephews had pur
posely weakened a certain portion of
the pond and then decoyed their un
suspecting uncle to the spot. Realistic
\lews can be seen in next Sunday's
comic.
REPORT ABOUT
WAR IN WINES
Shareholders Hear of What
California Association Has
Done During a Year
The shareholders of the California
Wine Association have received a re
port of the management, from which
it appears that the assets amount to
$7,997,589. The items include wines in
ventoried at $2,561,716 74; bills and ac
counts receivable, $1,142,784 20; stock
In other companies, $2,503,241; real es
tate, plant, machinery, etc., $1,721,122;
cash in banks, $42,667 33. Among the
liabilities are the capital stock of
$-i,054,200; special reserve against fur
ther sweet wine competition, $250,000;
bills payable, J2, 464, 680 24; outstanding
srape and wine accounts not due or
discountable, $182,587 40.
The matter of most general Interest
contained in the report relates to the
competition in eweet wines ana means
that the association took in this re
gard. Some paragraphs are as follows:
There was Inaugurated durlnf the year what
rr.'.eht fairly be characterized as a senseless
and most unnecessary cutting of price la
sweet wines and brandies by to-called Inde
pendents, principally vineyard proprietors and
wine-makers who. rendered prosperous by the
sheltering influence of your association's opera
tions, hoped thereby to extend their relations
with the general trade to the detriment of
the large distributors, little realizing that
while it Is easy to break prices It Is difficult
afterward to re-establish them.
Tour association refrained. In common with
other large wine houses, for several months
from lowering their price list to meet this
competition, until Inroads into their sweet
wine business became so serious that they
were forced to act, and in the early fall the
breaking of minimum sweet wine and brandy
prices became quite general, though your as
sociation has been able to maintain th« list
on hich grade wir.es and standard brandies.
The upholding of conditions for all con
cerned, including grapegrowers. has thus been
rendered duncult by the action of people who,
having much at stake in the maintenance of
their vineyard values, should hare be«n the
more loth to precipitate a breaking up of the
favorable auspices for all concerned, which
for several years have been created and main
tained through the Influence of your associa
tion.
Fortunately your directors, through a settled
policy of keeping down the book values of
wines to low nirures. have for several years
beeirfreparing against such a contingency, and
now find matters in excellent shape to meet
the Issue.
A new move was also reported as
follows:
Tour management realizes that It must en
deavor to minimize such fluctuations in the
amount of annual profits by the firmer estab
lishment of special brands, and to this end
plcns are being forwarded to bring closer to
the notice of the public the excellence of Cali
fornia wines by bottling and distributing the
better varieties In a manner which has hith
erto not been exploited. With the prestige
which such a campaign of publicity should
glvo the wholesale customers of your asso
ciation will doubtless find It greatly to their
advantage to closely patronize Its wines Instead
of purchasing, on the encouragement of a few
cents less per gallon, the immature and
roughly handled wines of those whose equip
ment and capital limitations render their
turning out of a finished article uncertain If
not Impossible.
For directory the following were se
lected: I. W. Hellman, J. W. Hellman
Jr., Percy Morgan, Daniel Meyer, Hen
ry Rosenfeld, E. Frowenfeld, J. J.
Jacobi, C. Schilling, P. C. Rossi, W.
Hansen and J. Frowenfeld. It was
voted to reduce the monthly dividends
from 60 to 42 dents.

TO ALVA ADAMS
Colorado Legislative Com
mittee Will Report in Fa
vor of Democratic Governor
Special Dispatch to Th* C&IL
DENVER, Feb. 23.— The majority re
port of the committee which haa been
hearing evidence in the contest pro
ceedings brought against Governor Al
va Adams by James H. Peabody will
recommend that Peabody be given
leave to withdraw his petition, as his
showing was not sufficient to change
the result apparent from the face of
the returns. This announcement is
made on the best of authority, enough
members of the contest committee hav
ing declared themselves on the ques
tion to justify the statement.
A minority report will be presented
and on this report Representative T.
H. Thomas, who has taken the lead
of the Peabody partisans, is engaged.
The majority report will be laid be
fore the joint session of the House and
Senate. It is almost certain that the
Legislature will adopt the report and
take action in accord with its recom
mendations.
