ADMISSION DAY. The Institute Urged to Postpone the Annual Fair. Potent Reasons Presented to the Trustees by Kative Sons, Pioneers and the Mer chants—Action Delayed. Tie Trustees of the Mechanics' Institute were waited upon last evening by a delegation, lor the B pose of inducing i hem to postpone the annual lair 10 afford lire Native Sons of the (101. west and the Pioneers the use of the pavilion on September Sth, 910 ana loth, in celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the admission of Cali fornia into lie Union. The Native Sous were represented by K. P Hammond Jr., M. A. Horn and Charles L. Welter Jr. ; the Pioneers by Secretary Hiram T. Graves, the Chamber of Commerce by President George c. Perkins, the Produce Exchange by President Barry Baldwin, the State Board of Harbor Commissioners by President William D. English, and Hie Citizen's Relief Committee by William 11. Bunker. EI lie usual business was suspended to hear tho visitors, Chairman Hammond of the Native Sons' Com mittee made, on behalf of his organization, a formal application to the Trustees for the pavilion during the celebration of Admission day. The Native Sons, he stated, constituted a large body of young men born la tills Slate, who annually celebrated the t'lh of September, and in tins manner honored their fathers, the pioneers. . The order has met yeerly in Interior towns, hut IHi is year bad been asked by the Pioneers to celebrate with tbem. Ibis is the first time th opportunity has been offered to jolu with the Pioneers in a celebration of the day, ant* it was desired to celebrate In a fitting way, for which the pavilion is necessary. AN HISTORICAL DEMONSTRATION. The celebration, lie said, would bring 50.000 people and 12,000 Native Sons to the cily aud would insure a demonstration that would become i i.toi real. At a conteieuce of Pioneers aud Native sons last Thursday it had been decided l.r.it the pavilion was necessary to success. About 185 pallors would be represented and the celebration must be held together; to scan r It over the whole city would prevent its being en ji vable and successful. II tbe Pavilion can be obtained It Is Intended to locate all the parlois lv booths and to have dancing, music, etc. The Native Sons desired to honor the Pioneers, and the coming celebra . tion Is the only time when they can fitly do so. The celebration would do the city and Institute Incalculable good and would cause the distiibu lion of $500,000. The sentiment of the people and -state farmed the proposed demonstration i ere. Mr. raves said that the Pioneers and Native S lis desired to make the celebration a credit to themselves and the Stale. All kindred societies wo ii, .l be invited to Join, Some have already igulfled their willingness and others would, lu \ tatlons bad already been sent to Eastern cities ivlllng societies there, and some would come. To carry out such a celebration as is contem plated the pavilion is indispensable. Whatever fuin's an necessary to cany out tlie programme, lie pioneers would' contiib'ute as a society and Individually. There was no doubt tbey would contribute freely. 'I he pioneers had looked for aid to the probability of secuiing Itie pavilion for the event. The Intention Is to make the cele i :at ion of the 9th of September exceed anything ever held m ihls city, not excepting the demou jjiions of; lie Knights Templar and the Grand — .Briny of the Kepuldic. THE PAVILION M Cl SBABY. There is nothing io prevent having a larger com se and a grander observance than that of I either of those organizations, but without tbo pavilion the programme will have to be cut tailed. Every Native son. Pioneer and resident desired tire festival of the fortieth anniversary held here. If the pavilion is secured the celebration will be one "t winch every citizen will be proud. William H. Bunker drew attention to the fact thai the Institute Is a semi-public concern, winch had obtained from $5000 to $20,000 rearlj from the citizens and in ennsequeuce it should have a pride in fostering ibe prosperity ot the com munity, and lv giving way to the Native Sons. If the inembeisof the Institute voted upon the l position of postponing ttie [air, ninety-nine out of every Candied would favor lb measure. It had be a said that $2500 wunlinf printing would cause a refusal of the request; but this • would be liquidated. Tlie citizens would consider It a disgrace to allow the celebration to go to a country town. A question of two weeks should not allow the Trusters to fly iv tlie face of public opinion that lias pa, d the Institute (30,000 a year (or many years. There appeared to be but one opinion iiboul the celebration, and lire >;.-.... felt that tbe Trustees would concede the request. Ueorge C. Perkins thought the institute should defer to the desire of i tie Pioneers an.l Native Sons, as there Is no other suitable place iv tbe clly, aside from the Pavilion, suitable for a cele oration, or wheie it would be attractive. A DKLAT OF TWO WEEKS. A delay of only lwo week, would be Involved, but the Trustees should lake a broad view of tire mallet, and lie felt confident tliey would do tbls and grant the use of lire Pavilion. Barry Haiti asked, on behalf of the Produce Exchange, that the request be granted. Nothing would be lost by o*l III; the fair for two weeks, aad the Institute would really gain there by, as tne farmers would then be through their \-oi k. na! have lime and inouey to spend In the city. I ie-id Kerr replied that as It would renuhe two weeks to place the Pavilion in shape, the postponement really meant lour weeks. M. A. Horn suggested that ibe lime for the lalr be advanced two weeks so that it could be tirr-e.l several days ber.ne September 9th. lie believed that the Institute should deter to the Native Sons. A canvass, so lis had been told, Ira. been made among Its 4000 members, and of these 3900 were eulliusiastlcally in favor of the postponement, 98 wore not reached, 1 was an irredeemable fossil aua 1 was in jail, so that tbe mailer was practically unanimous. Mr. Horn said the institute could not live un less San Fiancisco flourishes aud it owes some thing to Sau Frauclsco. If the Institute would permit the use of i lie Pavilion it would give the opportunity of bringing $300,000 to tbe city. Unless the Pavilion can be obtained the celebra tion would have to go to the country. A print ing bill ol (2500 was said to stand In the wav, bin Hie Native Sods aud Ploueers would assume that bill and ail others io save the Institute from loss. THE IXSTITCTE'S PItOSPEEITV. The institute thrived by the good will of the public, but It would not take in good grace a re fusal 10 permit' the bringing of tbe ceiebratiou here. Tbere would be no San Francisco but for tlie Pioneers, and the sentiment ot patriotism wtilcb actuated them should be heeded and de lened to. Tbe Native Sons exist in liny com memorate the memories of ihe days of '49. 'ihe Pioneers had asked Ibem to unite with them in celebrating the fortieth anniversary ol ihe Stale's birthday, aud in reviving the days of '49. The pioneers are (lying oil fast, and tiie lifnetb anuiversaiy would be too late. This is the lime; no other time would do. Mr. Dot then suggested tha: If the Trustees did not feel like assuming the responsibility, they should call a general meeting oi the institute and let tbe members decide. It was not good policy Co permit the celebration logo elsewhere, as it would bun the city more than the institute could till 101 It 11, Ove years. Charles 1.. We 1 Jr. was then Introduced and said that if the young men did not learn patriot . Ism from the Trustees, be did not know where they Miould go to obtain it. He said that tire Insti tute aud the Trusters should be grateful to the Slate and the pioneers who made a .state here possible lor the bounteous favors they bad re ceived and should defer to public opinion. lit- did uot think that a postponement of four w,.-ks would be asking too much for the men who made tin- State and gave the Institute an op- Mntuiiity to exist. The men who stood by the Declaration of Independence aud who fought the -Mexican aud civil wais did not look at the flnauclal sine of ll, e questions which caused them to shoulder muskets and (Her up their lives, and the pecuulaiy feature should not enter into the present measure, which was puiely patriotic. This concluded the speeches, and, after a mutual exchange of thank-, the delegation with drew and the Trustees went Into secret session to consider the matter. After some consideration the request was made the subject of a special meeting to be held to il, 01 low evening. MABIXE NOTES, Two Seamen of the Ship Dawpool In jured at Sea.

She is the defendant In a suit brought by W. M. Mac- Millan to recover $150 as a commission for effecting the sale of a piece of real estate on Middle street. Objection was made to the jurisdiction of the court on tin- ground that the action in volved the title to property, and to sustain this a witness was produced who swore that the sale was not effected because of a cloud in the title.

A WHISKY TRANSACTION. Litigation Growing Out of William T. Colemnn & Co.'a Failure. There was filed in the Superior Court yes terday an agreed statement of facts upon which a controversy exists between Outer bridge Horsey and William T. Coleman & Co. and the assignees of the latter, L. L. Baker and Louis Sloss. It is set forth in tho statement that Horsey is a distiller of whisky in Maryland, and was in the habit of consigning his goods in bulk to Coleman & Co. for sale in lots, and then, instead of waiting for payments, to draw cash from the firm against the con signment. When Coleman & Co. failed in May, 1888, there was an apparent overdraft of Ilorsey's to the amount of $8000, but there should have been sufficient whisky belonging to Horsey in the possession of' Coleman & Co. to pay the dralt and all expenses and leave Horsey a profit on the consignment. However, it is alleged that shortly before the failure Coleman & Co. sold a lot of whisky 10 the Bank of California, including Honey's consignment, at 800 per barrel, when it was really worth 8100 a barrel, and that when the assignees entered niton their duties Horsey demanded the return of his whisky. It could not be repurchased from the bank unless the entire lot was taken. This action was finally taken and Ilorsey's and the Other whiskies were purchased at $00 a bar rel. It is now proposed to have a judicial determination of bow much is due Horsey out of the transaction. THE SOUTHERN UTES. Protest of lira Indian flights Association - Against tlie Proposed iteinnval. The Government's proposition to remove the Southern Ute Indians to another reser vation provokes a vigorous protest from the iudian Rights Association. No removal of Indians from their homes should, they claim, be dictated purely by greed of white men for Indian land, but primarily by considerations affecting the welfare of the -Indians themselves. In this specific case the removal would be a viola tion of this fundamental principle of sound policy, lt would take the Utes from lands which are their own under pledge of the Government— from lands sufficient for their support, well adapted to agricultural and grazing purposes; from immediate contact with white civilization and proximity to markets, and would place them on a tract of land much larger in extent, far removed from civilizing intluences.difiictiHof access, occupied already by a band of renegade and outlawed Indians who claim it as their own, with no arrangement for joint ownership. Then it is argued there would be an un doubted expense to the Government of from SGCio.OOO to SSuo.OOO, not estimating damages to those whose property off tha reservation will be injured, nor the increased expense lor transportation of supplies for all time to come. Better results could be secured, it is claimed, by leaving the Indians on the present reservation aud allowing them to enjoy the benefits of the allotment in severalty act. FEDERAL INDICTMENTS. True Bills Found by the lulled Stales Grand Jury. The recently impaneled United States Grand Jury yesterday made its first report, bringing in six indictments, one of which was placed 011 the secret file. John V. Glover, the letter-carrier who was recently arrested -for stealing decoy letters containing money, was indicted for embezzling letters containing articles of value. His bail was set at $3000. William F. Maurer, who was arrested on January 3d for throwing letters into the stove in a saloon, where lie had loitered to play cards, was indicted tor detaining let ters intrusted to him for mailing. His bail was set at $900. James Dasey, the young hoodlum who was arrested by Postoffl » Inspector Irwin on March l'.'tli la.st on a charge of assaulting a letter-carrier, was indicted on that charge and his bail set at SoOO. A true hill was also presented against Charles W. Ingram, the young man who stole two packages containing Postofflce funds from the Cazadero Postofflce during the mouth of March. His bail is §2000. William A. Gordon, who used canceled stamps to send a letter to the Duke of Buccleugh and was arrested on March 25th, was also indicted and his bonds set at §1000. COPYRIGHT PROTECTION. The San Francisco I ypoihel ._■ Favor an International I.nw.

Believing as we do that this measure of justice is called for by every consideration of common honesty and business fairness, as well as by the Interests of all engaged in either the wilting, manufacture or sale of books, we would bespeak the active co-op-ratinu of our llipresemalives In securing the speedy passage of the law, that our country may maintain as high a standard of na tional morality and international fair play as Ihe other nations of lire world, aud set Its fool uriuly on llteraiy piracy and fraud.

THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1890-EIGHT PAGES. ALONG THE RAIL. Election of Directors of the Cen tral Pacific. An Important Meeting of the Stockholders of ths Southern Pacific to Be Held To-Day— A Bad Year. An election of Directors of the Central Pacific Kailroad was held yesterday at Fourth and Townsend streets with the fol lowing result: Belaud Stanford, C. P. Huntington, Charles F. Crocker,. C. E. Brotherton of London. A. N. Towne, Timo thy Hopkins and E. H. Miller Jr. To-day the Board of Directors will meet for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year. It is already decided that this election will result as follows: Leland Stanford, President; C. P. Huntington, First Vice-President; C.F.Crocker, Sec ond Vice-President; A. X. Towne, Third Vice-President; Timothy Hopkins, Treas urer ; E. H. Miller Jr., Secretary and Con troller. Secretary Miller's report for the year ending March 31st shows the gross earnings of the Central Pacific to have been $15,530, --215 15; operating expenses, $10,3<_4,5-iO Id; --net profits, 81,350,000; funded debt, Slio.bGO; sinking fund, $10,250; leaving a balance of $50,610. A meeting of the Southern Pacific Direc tors will also be held to-day. lt will be the most important meeting for many years. Building projects and a general policy for Hie ensiling year will be discussed. Mr. Fillmore lias returned from a tour of inspection on the lines in the southern por tion of the State. in an interview yesterday he said: "it has been a hard winter for the Southern Pacific Company. Not alone in the mountains, but in Southern California also. We have been compelled to make extensive repairs In that section, for the rain played sad havoc with our bridges and roadbed. All is running smoothly now. however, and traffic lias resumed its normal condition. "The prospects of a good wheat crop were never better. The outlook for fruit tbe coming season in that section is good. The country was never in better condition or more prosperous." When questioned as to the prospects of a transcontinental road being built to San Francisco in conjunction with the Donahue line Mr. Fillmore said: "It is not at all probable. What would they come in here for? Tho travel and freight business is now divided between several roads, nnd the Southern Pacific Company is not monopolizing the traffic of this Coast by any means. The Atlantic and Pacific is virtually a competitor of the Southern Pacific. This road can run its trains through to San Francisco, and by an agreement with our road are entitled to the same privileges. They have a road to Mo jave of their own, and from that point they lease our road. So, why are they not as much a competing line as any road could be?" When the general passenger agents of the Western lines adopted a form of agree ment for the reorganization of the Western States .Passenger Association Secretary Thompson was instructed to obtain the signatures of the companies necessary to make it effective. If all the roads had not signed it by April 2d a meeting was to be hold in Chicago on the 4th. The representatives of the roads did not sign the agreement and the meeting was held on April 4th. At this meeting it was shown that only nine roads had thus far consented to the arrangement. It now seems that the failure of the com panies to append their signatures to tlie agreement was due to a misunderstanding. Since this meeting all the roads concerned have signed with the exception of the Wis consin Central. This road, since its ab sorption by the Northern Pacific, has left its traffic officials without the power to act, and they must in all cases obtain the con sent of the controlling power before sign ing any agreement. It is probable that the Wisconsin Central people will come to some understanding with the Northern Pacific management which will enable them to be come a party to this important alliance. .M- inlay was an unusually busy day with the ticket-agents along Montgomery and Market streets. Many of them claimed yesterday to be all worn out with the work of Monday in an swering the eft-repeated question, "Do you think rates will be any lower?" "People wont ask us that much longer," said an agent in the Eric oflice yesterday, '• I can assure you that before many days the reduced rates will be restored to the old tariff." A Raymond & Whiter excursion' will be run from Boston to San Francisco, ar riving in this city April 2_!tti. The rates will be greatly reduced, for on this Dera tion the California Pioneers of New En gland, to the number of about 250, will visit California. The Canadian Pacific Railroad's earnings ■ for the month ending March 31, 1890, were $303,100, against 53t9,000 for the corre sponding mouth last year. CKEED 11AYJIOXD. "There is a great deal more in the resig nation of Creed Ilnyiuoud Irom the law department of the Southern Pacific Com pany than meets the eye or is generally known," said a prominent railroad man to a Cai.i, reporter yesterday. "Haymond is not a rich man, and he is not one to lose sight of the dignity and emoluments of his position. The actual fact of the matter Is he is disgusted, as several persons inti mately acquainted with him well know." "How is thai?" "Well, when he entered the service of the company ten years ngo there were on the pay-roll many men whose business it was solely to keep down the anti-railroad agita tion then in vogue. They were called upon to light hostile legislation both at Sacra mento and through the State, went to con ventions and talked to candidates. Now their occupation is gone. The necessity for them no longer exists. Feeling has in a measure died out. Some of these parties have already been cut off by Raymond's advice and others are expecting their sen tence any day. They are all angry, and in selecting a victim for their wrath have singled out Haymond. TIRED OF STKIFE. "I know men who are even now on the company's pay-roll," continued the official, "who make 11 their business to vilify him through railroad papers, at meetings and in conversation with politicians in bar-rooms and hotel corridors. I know, also, ho has received threatening letters, and tbe result is be has become tired ol it and prefers to go elsewhere so as to free from such annoy ance. One rumor, I know, that was circu lated to injure him with Senator Stanford was that he intended entering for the Sena torship against him. "There is another thing, and that is that Raymond has been responsible for the with drawal of the Southern Pacific Company from continued litigation. When be took charge at the death ol Judge Sanderson there were 300 cases en the company's records. Now there are not fifty. He took hold of the cases promptly, settled the ma jority of them when the claimants had any rights and pushed others to speedy trial. It. means a good deal to the public who is in charge of that law department. If ono is appointed who is a stickler for technicali ties, every one who gets hurt all over the State will have a tight on his hands in stead of having a chance of settling the manor equitably, Hajmond's policy in tills respect has caused an outcry against linn among the lawyers of the company. With the Directors lie Is on good terms aud they will, I guess, regret to accept his resigna tion.'' OUT OF (INK METKB. Market-Street Store-Keepers at Law (Ivor the Use of Ori. Judge Hunt and a jury were engaged yesterday in the trial of Goldstein & Colin against Will & Fiuck to recover $1050 for an alleged theft of gas. The parties liti gant occupy adjoining stores in the Phelan Building on Market street and it is charged that for ten mouths the defendants used gas which came from the plaintiffs' meter. The defendants deny the allegation, but aver that during the time mentioned they occupied the rear portion of the store and the plaintiffs the front. That they began using gas on the 2Mb of last June and had no knowledge that their burners were sup plied by gas from the plaintiffs' meter. They continued using gas until Novem ber nth, when they discovered the fact that said burners were connected by pipes with plaintiffs' meter and upon such discov ery discontinued the uso of said burners, notifying the landlord to change the con nection to a meter on their own premises, whereupon the change was made. Ihe defendants aver that the amount of gas used between June and November did not exceed the value of $75, which sum they tendered plaintiffs, who refused to ac cept the same. They charaterize the suit as a matter of spite. The case will proba bly go the jury to-day. Remanded Into Custody. Judge Gibson of Alameda County yester day afternoon rendered his decision in the habeas corpus case of W. W. Knott, ono of the late proprietors of the Enterprise, sen tenced for conspiracy to blackmail to serve one year in the County Jail of Sau Frau- Cisco ; and to pay a fine of $500. The pris oner was remanded to the custody of the Sheriff of San Francisco to serve out his term. The grounds on which it was hoped to secure his - discharge were the double judgment of fine and implisonment and tho jurisdiction of . Police Court 2 of San Francisco. Judge Gibson made a thorough examination of the law and decisions of the Supremo Court on the subject. EARLY THEATRICALS. : -lapwiiimi m m -\ Recollection* of Them in San -Francisco's Embryo Day*. J. Q. Adams read a paper on "Recollec tions of Early Theatricals in San Fran cisco," last evening before a meeting of the Historical Society In the Palace Hotel. What he said was quite interesting and was heard with a good deal of satisfaction by the society. He said that the first circus in San Fran cisco was Bowes & Foley's ; it was held in a tent on the corner of Kearny and Clay streets early in 1840. The first concert was held Jane 28, 1819, in the old school on the southwest corner of the Plaza by Stephen C. Massett. The hall was crowded at $3 a seat, but only four ladies were present. The first theatrical performance was given in the Eagle Theater.. On January 16, 1880, "The Wife" was played in Wash ington Hall, near where the Holla Union now stands. The prico of admission was $3. Tickets were sold in the saloon in front, and the Treasurer gambled awfty all the receipts in an hour or two afler the per formance. The Jenny. Liud Theater was opened in September, iB6O, on the corner of Clay and Montgomery streets. It was de stroyed by fire shortly afterward, and a theater with the same name was built where the old City Hall is at present. The Adelphi, on Dupont street, near Clay, was opened in 1853 as a French theater and had a successful run. That year the American heater was opened on Sansome street. An audience of 2000 filled the house, which Bank three inches iv a few hours. Other theaters and halls and gardens were opened in the fifties, but the only gar dens surviving are Woodward's, In "these earlier years the Spanish residents pre ferred their national sport of bull-fights in the Mission, near the Mission Dolores. FOUNDERS MOURN. Thirteen of Their Imported Molders Sent East. A Spy Ejected From Headquarters— Sympathy of lh» Democracy — Contributions From Unions— Two Arrests. Yesterday morning the Executive Com mittee of the J_lolders' Union tinned itself into an examining board and subjected the men captured on Monday from the Manu facturers' Association to a rigid investiga tion as to their ability to mold iron. The purpose in proving the ability of the Easterners was to decide whether they wore worthy of assistance, for the union has de termined that it will not spend another dollar to support or send back to the East Incompetent mechanics, who are brought out by the bosses. THIRTEEN CO-IU'ETE-N'TS FOUND. Thirteen of the men examined were found to be competent workers and were sent back to their homes in the East on the 3 o'clock train. They said they were wi limn to go. The remaining members of the gang captured by the strikers will probably be sent home to-day. The Executive Committee fears that tha Manufacturers' Association has sent some of its agents with the departed men, for the purpose of inducing them to come back to this city. They say that spies in the em ploy of the manufacturers have been de tected in the room where they met daily and that they ejected one of these gentry on Monday afternoon with a considerable dis play of energy. IUGUEB WAGES IX CHICAGO. To bear out its oft-iterated assertion that higher wages are not paid in this city than men employed in the East receive, the Ex ecutive Committee produced the following letter, which was received yesterday from a member of the Machinists' Union, who is now at nik in Chicago: I have arrived here all safe alter a very lone trip ol ten (Iriyv VMitle In Chicago I bouclit « paper in winch tUeie were six ditlerrnt adver tisements lor machinists, hveryihmg Is lit cood shape all over the East.

The Blessing of Strong Nerves Is recoverable, not by the use of mineral sedatives, but by a recourse to effectual tonic treatment.

A trust deed executed by ' the late Betsy Kosencrantz, who died about a year ago, is likely to bo the cause of long litigation In the Superior Court. There is quite a story attached thereto. Mrs. Kosencrantz lelt an estate valued at 8150,000, and it was bequeathed .to : her children, to be held in trust, however, by Moses hehg and Moses Kosencrantz under certain conditions. It appears that upon the subject of religion Mrs. Kosencrantz held very decided opinions, she having been brought up in the strict orthodox Jewish faith. Among the provisos of the deed was one that if any of her children married out side of the Jewish faith they were not to receive anything from her estate. lier son Isadora was to receive $5, and since the deed was executed, one of the daughters. Came, has married a Christian, thus cutting herself off with lsadore from any benefit under the trust. '■■ Jjador and Carrie, whose married name is V\ oods, yesterday began suit iv the Su perior Court against Selig and Moses l.osencrantz, in order to have the deed of trust canceled. In their complaint it is alleged that the deed was ■ procured by fraud and undue inlluence; that for a long time prior to her death Mrs. Kosencrantz was enfeebled in body and mind, and that her thoughts were confined to religious matters and to the saving and accumulation of wealth. She had been reared in the most rigid orthodox Jewish faith, and her religious belief assumed the strength and form of fanaticism, and the thought of any of her children marrying a Christian would produce iv her mind the utmost fear and horror. It is also asserted that Moses in duced his mother to make the deed by threatening to marry a Christian and also to burn a matzoth bakery in which she had started him. It is therefore asked that the deed be declared void and set aside, that an account ing of reuts, profits, etc., bo taken, and that a receiver be appointed and an accounting made of the estate.
