NOT LIKELY TO PASS. Opinions of Many Electors on the Charter. THE POWER OF THE MAYOR. Fire Commissioner A. J. Martin Gives His Ideas. CHIEF CROWLEY H FAVOR OF IT. Tlio Special Election Leads Some to Think It WillBe Defeated— The "Gang" Will Fight It. Everybody in San Francisco wants a new charter, but it seems difficult to propose an instrument that will meet with general approval. It was only Tuesday morning that the proposed new charter was pub- lished in The Call, yet before noon there were hundreds of men going about the streets announcing their determination to "knife the proposition from beginninsr to end." Even those who were not openly against the charter -were condemning it with faint praise, and very few were out- spoken in its advocacy. Tax Collector Block said he had not given the charter a careful reading, but had gained the impressiou from what he had heard that too much power had been vested in the Mayor. '•I asrree with the Freeholders that the oflices of Tax Collector and License Col- lector should be consolidated." he said, '\u25a0fur I believe that every cent of tax money should be under the bujm rvision of one man. However, I fear that the charter is doomed to defeat on account of the im- mense influence that will be brought to st it."' •1 don't see how they figured that the consolidation of the offices of License Col- lector and Tax Collector could be accom- plished," said Fred Lees, who is the incum- bent in the License Collector's office. "The officer who will preside over the combined departments will not be allowed any more clerks than I now have. The plan is not practicable. From what I can hear the general sentiment of the people is against such radical changes as are proposed, and I look for the defeat of the proposed in- strument by a big majority." "This idea of presenting the charter for consideration at a special election is all wrong," said George T. Marye. "Had the board decided to place it before the people at a regular election, when every one gets out to vote, I would have strong hopes of its passage; but at a special elec- tion many of the better element will not take the trouble to vote, while the element opposed to it, the professional office-seek- ers and petty politicians, will work against its passage with might and main. Of course. I hope for the best, but I fear for the result." Michael Smith (sans whiskers), who may safely be said to understand how tiie "push" stand on the proposition, said. "This business of making the Mayor the kinsrpin of the whole city government won't go down with the boys." They want to see things more evenly divided, "and to have a fair chance for the fat jobs. Under the new charter their chances are poor. Then the civilservice business will make a lot of them hustle against it. For myself 1think it would be poor policy to give the Mayor so much power, and I* would vote -a gainst it for that reason. You can bet the boys will he out in full force on election day." Attorney George K. IJ. Hayes, who was a member of a former Board of Freehold- ers, said: "Of course I desire to see the charter ac- cepted, for we need one very badly, and the instrument, as far as I "have had a chance of reading it, is a good one. but I fear from the fact that it will be voted on at a special election that it will be de- feated. We have had the same experience before, and it will come again. Special elections do not bring out the desirable element of voters, but every member of 'de pang' as it is called, will be on hand to vote as early and often as possible." "I was opposed to the charter," said Chief of Police Crowley. "until I saw by The Call that the Freeholders had recon"- sidered their intention of giving the Mayor the power of removing the Police Commis- sioners and other officers at will. This would have been a great mistake. "Suppose for an instant that under such conditions a man like I. S. Kalloch was to be elected and a serious strike should break out. Bein«: in sympathy with the strikers, lie would refuse to order out the National Guard, ifsuch a course should be necessary, and if the police showed a dis- position or ability to suppress the lawless element that always springs up on s'ich occasions, he could put a stop to their operations by removing the Commis- sioners, Chief or any one else he chose, place bis own men in office and completely cripple the department The Mayor .should be permitted to suspend officials* for cause, pending an investigation, but it should require a two-thirds-vote of the Board of Supervisors toTemovethem permanently." "The fact of the matter is." said Fire Com- missioner Martin, "this scheme of put- ting the power of appointing all these of- ficials in the hands of the Mayor is simply transferring the municipal patronage from one set of bosses to another. The great trouble with the Board of Freeholders was that they did not have time enough to do their work carefully. Instead of eighteen or twenty days they should have had six months. The head of each department should have been called on for a consulta- tion with the members, and after his sug- gestions had been exhausted the subor- dinates should have had a hearing. In this manner the board would have arrived at a better understanding of the needs of each department and the public would have had a better document to pass upon. "As to whether the public willaccept the charter, I will guarantee that it will never receive the necessary majority. The work- ingmen are against it to a man, for while the heads of department* have in many cases been granted a raise in salary, the subordinates have been cut down. "Take the draymen of the Fire Department, for instance. The teamsters of some of the large firms of this city, Holhrook, Merrill & Stetson as an example, receive .S9O a month and do not even have to care for their own horses. Do you think that will be a popular measure? The engineers, ma- chinists and ironmakers of this city will also right hard against the charter, because the pay of the men holding similar posi- tions in the department have been reduced below what they could make working for private individuals. I have talked to fifty men, at least, this morning, and each one said he would vote against the charter." A WEALTHY BURGLAR. Philip Keichert Causes Judge Campbell Some I'crplexity. The question of whether Prfilip Reichert, charged with burglary, is of unsound mind perplexed Judge Campbell yesterday morning, when Keichert's preliminary ex- amination was held. Rei chert is a man of means. He owns a hotel in Calistoga and the house and lot, 2H19}4 Folsom street, where he resides. About 4 o'clock in the morning of January 28 he was found in the cook's room in the Ahlborn House, Dupont street. He could give no explanation of his presence there and was handed over to Policeman George Brown, who booked him for burglary. He had a sack with him and in his pockets were found a large number of keys and a claspknife ground down so fine that it could easily be forced between the sashes of a window. The witnesses for the prosecution testi- fied to the facts as stated. Carrie Wicks, a buxom German girl,testified that she had been engaged to be married to Reichert for a long time, but recently she found he was a married man and broke off the en- gagement. Reichert begged her not to give him up and he would obtain a divorce from liis wife. Reichert accounted for having the sack with him by saying that he was on his way to the market to buy onions. He gave such queer answers to some of the ques- tions that the Judge was perplexed as to whether he was sane or not, and was more so when Attorney Louis T. Durnand testi- fied to his good character. Finally the Judge decided to hold Reich- ert to answer before the Superior Court in $1000 bonds. AN EAST VICTIM. John Brntinlln Swindled Out of His Money by a I'.uiiko Man. Charles Paulsen, known among bunko men as "The Swede," was booked at the City Prison yesterday by Detectives Dillon and Crockett and Policeman J. J. Riley on the charges of petty larceny and vagrancy. John Braunlin, who had been working on a ranch in Sacramento County, arrived in the city on Saturday night. He went to the Reno House, where they met Paul- sen, and they had a talk together. Paulsen got into Braunlin's good graces by the promise of a joband finally steered him to the Jack Rabbit saloon on Jackson street. While standing at the bar a tall man came in and he and Paulsen began to throw dice. The usual result followed. Paulsen borrowed $10 from Braunlin and. accompanied by the tall man, slipped out of the saloon. Braunlin caught Paulsen and demanded his $40. Paulsen said he had given the money to the tall man, but if Braunlin would go with him to a friend on Third street he would get the money. When they reached Third street Paulsen bolted, but ran into the arms of Policeman Riley. The detectives are hunting for the tall man. AN OLD MIXER'S SORROW. Deserted by His Kindred He Goes to the Almshouse. Tribulations of Edward Delay, Once the Associate of Many of the Bonanza kings. Eighty years of age, poor, deserted by his kindred, and at one time the associate of John Mackay, James G. Fair and other kings of the Comstock lode, Edward Delay willspend his last days in the Almshouse. Delay told the story of his life to Secre- tary McComb of the Humane Society yes- terday. He told how he came here in I^4o to seek after gold, and how some years later he and John Mackay worked togetoer with the pick and shovel near Grass Valley. "I met John O'Brien on the Allison ranch in 1856," remarked he, '"and later went to the Comstock, where I met James G. Fair. We worked together for a long time and owned one or two mines together. But Fair's luck didn't come until later, and mine never came." Mr.Delay was unable to work at mining when he reached his sixty-fifth year, and in that time his former associates nad risen to eminence in the financial world. Once in a while Mackay and Fair rendered him assistance in a financial way that neces- sary help which was denied him by his children. If Mr. Delay's story be true his son, Daniel J. Delay, principal of the Ocean View School, does not figure in a favorable light. The old man alleges that he repeat- edly asked his son for help and that all of his appeals fell on deaf ears. "I nave three other sons," said he, "but Ido not know where they are. I haven't seen them for a long time and know noth- ing about them. All I desire now is a place where I can rest my bones until I die." Secretary McComb informed Delay that he had no jurisdiction in the case, but that he would send him to the Almshouse with a note recommending his reception there. This was accordingly done. CEIME IN CHINATOWN. Rev. Dr. Blasters Replies to the Asser- tions of Miss Dunham. Certain statements were made by Miss Lucy Dunham, a house-to-house mission- ary in Chinatown, at the meeting on Mon- day of the Occidental Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church, which have called forth the following reply from Rev. Frederic J. Masters, the Methodist missionary : Chinese Mission M. E. Church, 916 Wash-) ington street, Rev. F. .1. Masters, Supt. > San Fkakcsco, Februarys, 1896. ) Chief of Police P. Crmelen Beq.—uti* Sir: My attention was called this morning to a re- port of a statement made by a lady of another mission reflecting upon ihe police in China- town. I have noticed for the last four or fivemonths the great improvement in the condition of thai once lawless place. Thinking that with the ad- vin! of a new squad the past deplorable evils had possibly cropped up agflin I made a tour of the street slums this afternoon to see what ground the lady had for her ciianres. I think it is* only fair to slate that I found Chinatown in a condition exactly the opposite of that described by her. Highbinderism is dead. I failed to find a sign or flag whore six years ago twenty secret societies terrorized over the whole place. I also failed to find any tan or lottery den and only two agencies of lot- teries where a year ago the town wai full of them. Ross alley, that was once given up to tan, is now deseru-d. Half the houses were to let, and every house on that street was closed. I also noticed that the once notorious resorts on Cum Cook, Baker and Spofford alleys and other quarters are' closed, and prostitution is only carried on where solicitation is an impos- sibility. I have great pleasure in testifying to the efficiency of Sergeant Gillen and his squad. They were indeed a terror to the evil-doers arid the praise of them that do well. I suppose that you had good reasons for making nchange, although all good citizens must feel that.his removal will be a great loss to the community. In making this remark I do not wish to re- flect upon 1:is successor, who may bean equally good man. I remain yours very truly, Frkdsbxc J. Masters. I have written this letter unsolicited by any person, and you are at full liberty to make what use you like of its contents. I congratu- late you for the good work already accom- plished by men who are a credit to your force. Was Promised the Estate. Jacob H. Lindecker is suing Mary Broughton, executrix of the estate of George Ashton, for possession of the prop- erty left by the deceased. The suit is now on trial before Judge Slack. Lindecker's claim is that while attending the deceased dunng part of his last illness he was prom- ised the estate which would be left. After Ashton s death, however, a will was found making different disposition of the prop- erty and naming Mrs. Broughton as executrix. Undue influence was used, Lindecker claims, and he wants to break the will on that ground. The estate is valued at $5000. A Carpenter's Isad Fall. Samuel Carpmili, a carpenter living at 529 Howard street, met with a probably fatal accident yesterday afternoon. He was employed in tearing down a house on Hayes ana Octavia streets and foil from the second story, alighting on his head. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital where it was found that his skull was frac- tured, that he had sustained internal in- juries, and there were wounds onhis scalp forehead and nose.

Cutler in Charge of the Work Here. TOE IOTEIEST FAIRLY ISDER WAY. Tho School Board Will Be Asked to Take Action at Once — Coomb's Billin Congress. The movement recently inaugurated in the East to provide for military instruction in the public schools throughout the United States has readied San Francisco and in a short time steps will be taken in this city and State to interest the Boards of Educa- tion in the matter. Colonel Alfred D. Cutler of George H. Thomas Post No. 2 has been appointed special aid to Ccmmander-in-Chief Thomas G. Lawler of the Grand Army of the lie- public to conduct the movement on the Pacific Slope. Colonel Cutler is a •well- known military man, whose selection to supervise the work in this State is deemed by Grand Army men to be an enviable honor. The movement to introduce military in- struction in the course of study of the pub- lic schools had its origin about two years ago. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining suitable instructors the movement did not progress favorably, but on December 19 last Hon. William J. Coombs of Brooklyn was induced to introduce a billin Congress which provides that "those schools and educational institutes of the several States which shall adopt a system of military in- struction shall receive the assistance of the Government in order to secure to the United States such a knowledge of mili- tary affairs among the youth of the coun- try as will make them efficient as volun- teers if called upon for the national de- fense." The bill authorizes the Secretary of War to issue at his discretion ordnance and stores belonging to the Government re- quired for military instruction in the pub- he schools, and to detail for such instruc- tion officers of the army stationed in towns of over 500 inhabitants. Such instruction in all cases shall be free of charge. The passage of the bill by the present Congress being assured, Commander-in- Chief Lawler has already appointed aids in various parts of the country to in- augurate the work. Colonel Cutler was one of the appointee?, and, when his com- mission arrives, which will be in a few days, he will actively enter upon the dis- charge of his duties. "The main purpose of this great move- ment," said Colonel Cutter to a Call rep- resentative yesterday, "is to introduce military instruction in all the schools of the country. It is intended by this instruc- tion to inculcate a spirit of patriotism in the minds of our growing boys and to create in their hearts reverence for the Hag, fpr the preservation of which their fore- fathers bled and died. "I believe with General Nelson A. Miles that 'to instill patriotism in the minds of the youth will render the Government per- manent and happy. 1 The man who honors his country's nag is necessarily a good citizen. Itis therefore important, in order to perpetuate the great institutions of our country and to render the hearts of our citizens loyal, that some military training shcii id be given to our young boys." Colonel Cutler has not yet clearly out- lined the course he will pursue in pushing the work on the Pacific Coast. He will in I few days confer with the Board of Edu- cation and seek to have the course of study in the schools altered, so that thirty minutes each day will be devoted to in- structing the pupils in military tactics, patriotism, etc. flic Grand Army posts nave already been notified of Colonel Cut- ler's appointment and the request made that each post detail instructors to act when the necessary authority to do so is granted by the School Directors. The work having been established here it will be vigorously prosecuted in other cities on the coast by Grand Army men. EEIOEM COMMITTEES. Discussion of Matters Now Pending in the Legislature. At an executive meeting of the Commit- tee of Eleven, held yesterday afternoon, George T. Gaden, the president, tendered his resignation, offering as a reason that his business did not allow him time to at- tend to the duties of the office. The resig- nation was accepted and C. C. Terrill was chosen to tillthe vacancy. A. W. Thompson introduced a preamble and resolution, which wore unanimously adopted. These are in effect that as each branch of the Legislature seems to be op- posed to a committee of its members being appointed to investigate election frauds and official corruption it is for the best interests of California that a commis- sion be appointed, and that it enter upon the work of investigation with all con- venient dispatch. Secretary Reynolds was instructed to notified the Civic Federation that the com- mittee of eleven is ready to co-operate with it in a mass-meeting to be held on Saturday night. The sub-comniittee onlegislation was in- structed to devise ways by which each of the organizations having for its object the investigation of frauds may have repre- sentation by attorney with right to pre- sent facts and question witnesses. Several matters were discussed in con- nection with the proposed inquiry, but the members were pledged to secrecy as to these for the present. The committee will meet again Saturday afternoon in the Mills building. A WOMAN'S WRATH. Mrs. Hannah Sullivan 'Finds Herself in a Serious Predicament. Mrs. Hannah Sullivan, who lives on Chesley street, near Seventh, was arrested about ten days ago on the charges of bat- tery and using vulgar language. It is now probable she will have to answer to a fel- ony charge instead. The victim of her wrath was Mrs. Annie Cummins, a neighbor. They met at a vegetable wagon, where they were making some purchases. They were not on friendly terms, and soon they were in the midst of an angry discussion. Mrs. Sulli- van knocked Mrs. Cummins down and lumped on her, using language more forci- ble tnan polite. Mrs. Cummins was in a delicate condi- tion, and since then she has b,een laid up in bed. When the cases were called in Judge Conlan's covirt yesterday a medical certiiicate was handed to the Judge that Mrs. Cummins was dangerously ill and might not recover. The cases were con- tinued till Saturday. THE GRAND AEMY. General Interest in tHo Next Annual Encampment. The various Grand Army posts in the Department of the Pacific are making prep- arations for the annual encampment to be held at Sacramento at a date in April to be selected hereafter. It is expected that Commander-in-Chief Thomas G. Lawler of Rockford, 111., will be present, and the date of the encampment will be fixed to suit his convenience. The committee having in charge the ar- rangements consists of Frank Miller and D. J. Simmons of Sacramento. They have already issued various circulars relative to the encampment calculated to rouse public interest in the affair. The main feature of the encampment will be the election of a department commander. The contest for that office is unusually lively, and thus far three candidates have announced themselves. They are: C. E. Wilson of Thomas Post, San Francisco; W. R. Thomas of Appomattox Post, Oak- land, and John Burke of Sumner Post, Sacramento. The friends of Mr. Wilson arc making a strong fight in his behalf, and the general opinion is that he will be elected. BURGLAR-CATC HING CRAZE Mrs. Constance Foiielic Is the Latest Heroine. She Tells in Court How She Caught a Burglar in Her Room and Effected His Arrest. This winter will be remembered in police circles for the number of burglars that have been captured red-handed by young and pretty women. Miss Willetta Robertson, who captured Gus Griffiths in the Hotel Savoy, and Mrs. Blanche Whitney, who arrested Fred L. Lpwen at 1012 Bush street, have had their deeds of heroism told in the press, and now Mrs. Constance Fouche, a petite and charming French lady, conies to the front. On the night of January 28 Mr.--. Fouche went to her room in the Gailhard Hotel, 509 Pine street. As she walked in she saw a burly, thick-set man, who walked quickly toward her. With a woman's quick in- stinct, she realized she had a burglar to deal with and darted out of the door, closing it after her. She held on to the knob and screamed for help. The burglar on the inside tried to force the door open, but she placidly held to the knob with all her strength. \Vhen assistance arrived she was nearly exhausted. When she released her hold the door flew open, but the burglar was confronted by several men who had been attracted by Mrs. Fouche's screams. The burglar drew a bludgeon from his pocket, but he was quickly overpowered and held till Police- man McNulty arrived. The burglar gave the name of Albert Johnson. When searched, a pair of opera glasses, some money and jewelry Delonging to Mrs. Fouche were found inhis pockets, besides two skeleton keys. Johnson's preliminary examination was held before Judge Conlan yesterday morn- ing. Mrs. Fouche modestly told her story and identified the articles taken from Johnson. Her husband, Eugene Fouche, gave corroborative evidence, and the Judge held Johnson to answer before the Superior Court in $2000 bonds. '•If this sort of thingcontinues," remarked the Judge, "we won't need any policemen for capturing burglars, as the ladies seem to be catching them all." RIVAL SODA MEN. They Take Their Grievances Into the Poltoa Court. There is a bitter feeling between P. G. Somps and M. Mouret & Co., rival soda- water manufacturers, which has been car- ried into the Police Court. Yesterday morning Mr. Somps swore out warrants in Judge Low's court for the ar- rest of three of Mouret & Co.'s drivers, John Lacon, Dennis Bellgarde and John Barrare, on a felony charge of stealing his siphon bottles. Mr. Somps said that the drivers of Mouret & Co.'a wagons had been gathering up his bottles, breaking them and selling the lead. Last year 3000 bottles, worth $1 each, had disappeared in that way. A few days ago some of Somps' men dressed themselves in shabby clothing and went to Mouret & Co.'s establishment on Montgomery street, near Jackson, repre- senting themselves as rag and bottle men. They found a barrel filled with broken bot- tles belonging to Somps. On Tuesday Somps obtained a search warrant. He accompanied the officer to Mouret & Co.'s, amt they discovered a large number of his bottles packed under some hay. 80 yesterday he swore out the warrants for the arrest of the three drivers. He threatens to bring Mouret before the Grand Jury. CAPTAIN REED EXONERATED. The Charpo of Cruelty Against Him Oimkly Dismissed. The charges of cruelty against Captain E. W. Reed of the American ship T. F. Oakes were dismissed by Commissioner Heaoock yesterday. James Murphy, the seaman who brought the charge against Captain Reed, fared worse at the hands of his own witnesses than the accused cap- tain. The testimony went to show that Murphy was a lazy "fellow who shipped as boatswain, and was disrated on account of incompetencv. The sailors he put on the stand all admitted that they had com- plained of his rough treatment while he was boatswain. They saw Captain Reed throw Murphy to the deck, but they did not see Murphy kicked, as he alleged. Cap- tain Reed said he shoved Murphy down on a pile of sails as the latter attempted to strike him. There was no evidence against Reed sufficient to hold him on any charge. Martin Sachs* Estate. The executors of the will of Martin Sachs have filed their lirst and only account. There is now, says the statement, property and cash to the amount of $227,197 76 on hand ; $180,273 93 of this is in cash. Many of the smaller legacies have been paid and the affairs have all been satisfactorily settled. The estate was worth altogether over $900,000. FUNERAL OF FELIX DEUTSOH. Large Attendance at the Obsequies of the Young Attorney. The funeral of Felix Deutsch took place yesterday from his late residence on Pine street, a large number of friends accom- panying the remains to the Home of Peace Cemetery. The services were performed by Rabbi Voorsanger. There was an ex- traordinary number of beautiful floral tributes sent by friends. Felix Dcutsch was a Native Son, having been born here less than twenty-four years ago. He was an attorney, attached to Pierson & Mitchell's office. But his most notable characteristic was his strong en- thusiasm for reform in municipal affairs. As founder and president of the Good Gov- ernment Club Mr. Deutsch was known as a most devoted worker for political purity and the introduction into local govern- ment of the civil service system. He was especially earnest in denouncing the recent appointment of a Police Commis- sioner, since removed, and, indeed, his un- timely death was generally attributed to too rigid devotion to the prosecution of his high aims. The pallbearers at the funeral were chiefly composed of members of the Good Government Club. Mr. Deutsch was for- merly secretary of the Philharmonic Society. Mayor Sutro Will Speak. In addition to the usual entertaining Sunday programme at the Sutro Baths next Sunday there will be a grand demon- stration to" celebrate the defeat of the Reilly funding bill in Congress.

There Is No Better Medical Service Than That Given by the CopeUnd Medical ,-j ;.:.' Institute. The best medical service in this season ol "hard times" should not cost more than $5 a month. This is the stand that Drs. Copeiand, Winn and Neal take. This is the gauntlet that they throw down to their confreres in the pro- fession. The physician who charges more than that amount as his monthly fee does so because his practice is so limited that he is obliged to, or because he feels that he is able to bamboozle his patients to swell his receipts. There is no better medical service than Drs. Copeland, Winn and .Veal give in their special- ties. Their large practice attests this fact, their established situation proclaims it, their testimonials emphasize it. \u25a0*.'\u25a0 . Five dollars a month is the only charge for treatment and medicines. If you pay more you are simply giving away all over and abovo that amount. STATEMENTS LIKE THIS Hare Appeared Time and Again and Prove the Success of the Treatment. Thomas . Richards, who lives at 1519 Eddy street, says: \\u /sassy, dgrSl Thomas Richards, 1519 Eddy Street. "About three years ago I took a severe cold, a common thing "in this climate, but a serious thing for me, for nothing I could do would break itup, and itsoon became a case of chronic catarrh. My eyes, ears, nose, throat, and, In short, my whole system was affected by the trouble; my appetite failed me; what little I managed to eat caused trouble in my stomach. I could not sleep at nitrht, and was generally in a bad condition. Itcontinued- to grow worse, until 1 became alarmed that my lungs would become affected. 1 doctored myself and tried nil the. old remedies, but nothing seemed to help me at all. I read of the success of l>rs. Copeland, Winn and Neal in cases similar to mine and concluded I would give them a trial. I did so, and now, after a short course of treat- ' ment, lam comparatively a well man again. I feel better than I have for years, and cannot say enough in praise of the skillful treatment of Dr». Copeland, Winn and Neal. My advice to sufferers from chronic maladies is to give them a trial." HOME~TREATMENT. Every mall brings additional proof of the suc- cess Of the home or mail treatment. R. T. Meeker, Occidental, Cal., writes: "I will not need any more medicines, for I am sure that I am cured. There has not been a sign of the symptoms for some time, and I feel splen- did again. I will always recommend you to any one suffering, as I have confidence in your treatment. Itcured me. $5 A MONTH. No fee larger thin $5 a month asked for any disease. Our motto is: "A Low Fee.
