THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1896. 11 THE CUT-STONE CONTRACT SIGNED. Pioneer Stone and Granite for “The Call” Building. MAIN SPECIFICATIONS. John D. McGilvray to Receive $154,710 at the Com- pletion, TO BE FINISEED DECEMBER 13. The Stability of Lofty Buildings as Considered by the “Scientific American.” Another step in the construction of TE Cary building has just been taken. Itis the letting of the contract for the cut-stone work. In accordance with his motto of protec- arc of ten feet, in response to the flercer gusts of a storm, was shortly afterward followed by another writer, whose pen, more given to flu- ency than to fact, wrote down the details of the vibrations of a certain well-known office building, which were described as being_so se- vere as 0 stop the clock on any but the lowest stories! Factory chimneys, church steeples, Tofty monuments end in fact every structure that raises it head much higher than its fel- lows to the buffeting of the elements are lo- cally credited with feats of more or less impos- sible vibration. That factory chimneys do sway to and iro in lhlsh wind, and that a poorly constructed building will rock, can_be proved by careful instrumental tests, and in extreme cases the motion can, perhaps, be detected by the eye, but the frequency and extent to which these motions occur has been vastly exaggemem 1t would be naturel to suppose that the elas- ticity of the steel framework ot a fireproof building would aliow of a certain amount of “‘give” or spring under the severe bendin, stresses to which 1tis subjected by the wini pressure. We have been favored with the result of an instrumental test which was recently carried out on the twenty-first_floor of the American Surety building, Broadway, New York, by the engineer and superintendent of the building, J. Turner. It was made during the heightof the heavy storm which prevailed during Jan- uary 4, when an official wind velocity of eighty- two miles per hour was registered in the neighboring station. The test failed to give the slightest evidence of vibration, a result which agrees with the testimony of the in- mates that in a gale the topmost floors are as stillas the first siories. The test was made with transit and evel, and though it was not a test of the highest instrumental character the result was remarkabie, for both the plumb- boband the bubble remained perfectly still, even where the building was struck by the heavier gusts of wind. We confess to some surprise at this practi- cally absolute rigidity; for the absence of any building on the other side of Broadway, and indeed on that part of the whole block which lies immediately in front of the Surety build- ing, makes it certain that practically the full height, from curb to coping, was exposed to the shock of the storm, Just how great was the bending strain et up within the building is a matter of easy calcu- lation. The front exposed to the wind is 84 feet 8 inches wide by 314 feet high, giving & total of 26,585 square feet. The wind pressure corresponding to 82 milés per hour is some- what problematical, for, although experi- mentalists have discredited. Smeaton’s for- WILL SUPERVISE THE EXAMINER, H. W. Hawley Is Now the Publisher of That Journal. HE OWNS NO INTEREST. A. M. Lawrence Has Been Ap- pointed to the Office of News Editor. OTHER CHANGES TO BE MADE. F. L. H. Noble Wi 1 Assist Mr, Hawley in the Editorial Management for the Present. The article in yesterdsy morning’s CALL announcing that H. W. Hawley bad assumed the management of the San Fran- cisco Examiner created a good deal of talk, not only in newspaper row, but also in po- The Main Entrance of the “Call” Building as It Will Appear When t| he Stonework Is Finished. tion to bome industry, Claus Spreckels has persevered in his course of letting the contract for the steelwork to Pacific Coast manutacturers by contracting for the cut- stone work with John D. McGilvray, who will receive $154,710 when it is completed. The most important specifications of the agreement between the contracting par- ties are as follows: The stonework is to be carried on in such a manner that it shall at no time be more than three stories below the top of the steel frame. By August 12 it must be up to the fifth floor, by October5to the thirteenth floor, and by December 13 com- leted. In case of delay an indemnity of 100 a day is to be paid by the contractor. The payments are to be made as each successive story is completed, equal to 75 per cent of the value of the workmanship actually incorporated in such story. The final payment will be made thirty-tive days after the completion of the contract. There are two bonds—a statutory bond for $39,000 and an indemnity bond for $20,000. To a height of about nine feet the mate- riai nsed will be granite, Above that all four sides are to be of Pioneer stone. About the main entrance, however, the columns will be of white marble, out of which will be carved a group of allegorical figures of heroic size on eacg. This Pioneer stone is a beautiful, light- colored material and the quarries from which it is obtained are situated near the boundary line of this State and Oregon. The stone is to be finished channeled. A dim idea of the beauty of the building when it nears a stage of completion may be gathered from the accompanying illus- tration, showing the main entrarce after the cut-stone work will have been finished. The appendeda article, entitled ‘““Stabil- ity of Lofty Buildings,”” taken from the Seientific erican of March 21, 1896, proves conclusively that the lofty height oi THE CALL building will in no wise inter- fere with its strength. Although the exaggerated proportions of the modern office building render it, architect- urally speaking, somewhat grotesque, there is po doubt but that the steel skeleton system upon which it is built provides all the neces- sary rigidity and strength. The vast areas of towering wall which these buildings presen to the wind naturally raise the question o their ability to withstana the accumulated pressure which must result when they are ex- posed 1o 8 gale of any strength. Tl bration of lofty buildings has ever been & favorite theme with those who write in the field of engineering romance. The party who, not so long ago, gravely as- sured the Eublic that the lantern at the top of the Eiffel T mulw, they have given us no substitute upon which they are well agreed among themselves. Smeaton gives 31 pounds per square foot as the pressure corresponding to miles per bour. This is undoubtedly too high. Pro- fessor Martin’s jforrmaula. pressure — 0.004 V3, works out at about 25 pounds to the square foot, which we will assume to have been maxi- mum pressure upon this occasion. This gives a pressure upon the whole front of 332 tons, and a bending or overturning moment of over 52,000 foot tons.. These figures give us an impressive idea of the solid- ity of a construction which proves to be en- tirely insensible to such powerful disturbing forces. It must be due to the combination of & thoroughly well-riveted steel structure with the inertia ‘and r?ldiéy of massive walling into which it is tied and built. A NEGLECTED BABY. The Little Girl of Mrs. Addie Walsh, a Widow, Found in a Dying Condition. Mary Frances Walsh, a preity baby thirteen months old, was taken to the Re- ceiving Hospital last night in the ambu- lance. It was suffering from brain fever and was supposed to be in a dying condi- tion. Under the careful treatment of Dr. Thompson and the watchful attention of the matron the littie mite began to gradu- ally improve and it will probably recover. Officer McMurray of the Society for the Prevention of- Cruelty to Children was no- tified that the child’s mother, Mrs. Addie Walsh, who was not in her right mind, had been neelecting it. She livea at 318 Minna street, and on go- ing there McMurray found that the com- plaints of the neighbors were well founded. The woman’s husband died shortly after the child was born and it was sent to Mount St. Joseph Orphan Asylum. The mother took it out of the asylum about a week ago and it became sick. Dr. Brennan was called in, but it was ascertained that the mother neglected even to get his pre- seriptions filled. Some action will be tak- en in regard to the mother to-day. ——————— McGlynn Gets a Vacation. M. McGlynn, president of the local Labor Council and editor of the Voice of Labor, will leave for Tombstore, Ariz., next week for the benefit of his health. His Interest in the paper has been transferred to A. B. Kennie, and it is rumored that Mr. Benney will take charge oi the editorial department. e —— QUAKER shopping and opera bags in silk and leather are the latest things received in our ower swept to end fro through an | to $2 50.

It came some- what in the nature of a surprise, for it had been announced a few days previousiy that A. M. Lawrence, one of the New York Journal's writers, was to sit in the manag- ing editor’s chair in the Examiner office, This impression was left upon the public mind because 1t was known that Managing Editor K. H. Hamilton, who has achieved much distinction as a graceful and classic writer, was not satisfied with the weighty responsibility and the grinding drudgery of his position, and sighed for the pleas- ures of the soul which were to be found in the theater lobbies and the clubs in the companionship of intellectual men, few of ‘course, but like diamonds, all the more valuable because of theirscarcity. But uvon Mr. Lawrence has fallen the mantle of news editor, which, as its name indicates, is about the most important po- sition on a newspaper. F.L.H. Noble, one of the most scholarly pioneer editors under the Hearst management, will assist Mr. Hawley in the editorial management of the paper. His position has no name, because the office of managing editor will remain vacant for some time, Mr. Hearst, or Mr. Hawley, evidently having some Eastern or Western man in the mind’s eye for that place. Mr. Hawley’s title will be that of pub- lisher. He will have the generat manage- ment of the paper as a whole, embracing both the business and journalistic ends. In other words, he will be Mr. Hearst's resident representative, and will not only look after the editorials and the news, but after the dollars that come and go through the business office. Mr. Hawley said yesterday that he had consented to accept the position of pub- lisher of the Examiner and hold it fora year at Jeast. No change would be made in the business department except that Mr. Hawley would act for the proprietor. For the present Mr. Hawley will concen- trate his attention on the editorial end of the paper until he becomes thoroughly fa- miliarized with its workings. Mr. Hearst visited relatives in Santa Olara yesterday and left for the East last night with George Pancoast, his private secretary, and K. H. Hamilton. Mr. Ham- sights of Gotham by invitation of Mr. Hearst, and will be likely to attend the various National conventions which will meet this summer. On his return he will write special articles for the Examiner. “I have not a dollar’s interest in the Examiner,” said Mr. Hawley yesterday. “I would like to buy ir, because I know it to be a very remunerative property, bnt Mr. Hearst will not sell a dollar’s worth of nis interest. He could not invest his money to better advantage in any other business, and besides that he has tue sat- isfaction of being the proprietor of a jour- nal so influeatial as is the Examiner,” Notwithstanding Mr. Hawley’s denial that he has purchased an interestin the paper- the opinion of newspaper men is that sach will be the fact in the near future. Mr. Hawley is possessed of con- siderable means and has hitherto been a newspaper-owner, and it is said by those who know him intimately that he would not work for a salary. Mr. Hawley said yesterday that no fur- ther changes would be made at present, but the air is thick with rumors of a gen- eral shake-up in the establishment. FISHING WITH SET NETS. Two Seizures Recently Made by a Dep- uty Fish Commissioner. Deputy Fish Com missioner John Davis writes to headguarters in this City from Martinez of the work heisdoing in the upper bay. On the 20th inst. he found a set net anchored with pigiron in Honkers Bay. He took it to Collinsyille. At the head of Suisun Bay a set net in four sec- tions, amounting to 600 fathoms, was found. It was fastened with five anchors, While taking it up J. Bergstrom appeared and claimed the net. This was better luck than the deputy expected, ana he arrested the owner of the net for violating the fish law., Berg- strom was taken to Benicia, and his case is now before Justice Barry and a jury. Davis reports that the spring run of sal- mon is exceedingly small, the fishermen not averaging over three or four a day to each boat. Bass, however, are plentiful, but they bring a very small price. PHELAN PRIZE-WINNERS, Artist Mathews Awarded First Honors in the Compe- tition. KEITH GETS THE SECOND. Emil Pissis Captures the Third Prize—The Rules of De. cision. . The committee appointed to award the Phelan prizes, aggrezating $1000, organized Wednesday, and yesterday submitted the tollowing report: SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 1896. To the Directors of the San Francisco Art Asso- ciation—GENTLEMEN: The committee appointed to award the prizes offered by James D. Phelan for certain historical pictures to be painted by California artists has the honor to submit the following report. The letter in which Mr, Phe- lan defines his offer is as follows: NovEMBER 12, 1895. o the Directors of the San Francisco Art Associa- tion—GENTIEMEN: I hereby make the following proposition for the encouragement of local art and historical research: I will give the assoclation $1000 to be usea for the following purposes: Eight hundred dollars 1o be paid for the best picture painted by a California artist, resident in the State, Tepresenting one of these subjects ery of the Pacific Ocean,” by Balbo covery of California,” by Cabrillo: “The Discovery ofthe Bay of San Francisco,” by Portala. The second cholce in the competition shall recelve $150 and the third 850. The picture shall belong to the assoclation and sll the competitive canvases shall be exhibited at the next spring exhibition of the association, April, 1896, at which time the selections snall be made by the judges. The judges shall be chosen as foliows: Two art- -since the openin ilton will spend a vacation of a few weeks a-walking down Broadway and seeing the ists by the competitors, (wo laymen by the di- rectors of the assoclation and a fifth, who shall be an artist,by the four so chosen. The voes of three of the judges, who shall act during the first week of the sald spring exhibition, shall be necessary for @ decision. The directors of the assockition shall make all other rules not inconsistent with the fore- going. J. D. PHELAN. In accordance therewith the board of direc- tors of the Art Association appointed as judges the following lJaymen: F. 8 Samuels and Cep- tain Robert H. Fletcher. The competitors selected the following artists: Ernest Peixotto and Douglas Tilden. These four gentlemen chose from among the resident artists Bruce Porter. Their organization being thus completed the judges assembled at the art institute April 22 at4 r. ., all being present. The meeting was called to order by Captain Fletcher, who was requested to act as chairman, and deliberation | ensued as to the hest means of transacting the business before it. After due deliberation it was decided that Mr. Phelan’s wishes 8s interpreted by the terms of his letter received is best promoted by the consideration of these salient features in the works submitted: First—Historical value—i. e., the story-telling quality of the picture; its’ unmistakable por- trayal of the incident, nature chosen, so that the histoty and motive of the scene should be plainly apparent, a requirement which would also include treatment of the peculiarities of the local landscape, accuracy of details as re- gards costume, race characteristics and other points tending to make the picture vivia and renl in its presentation of an important epoca in the history of California. Sec ond—Technical exgelll)ence—il_‘ e., color, v omposition and those other techni- 5‘3“‘2‘?5{&0, P hich should be found in & picture representative of the local art at this CFiess two considerations, in the opinion of the judges, were of equal weight. Third--Dramatic interesi—i. e., the depicting by grouping, attitude or otherwise, the signifi- cance of the scene and the emotion naturally attending such a supreme moment. Tt was furthermore decided that the opinions of the judges should be obtained by secret bal- lot. Four paintings had been submitted by the io\lowlnpg artists, viz.:- William Keith, A. F. Mathews, Emil Pissis and A. W. Best. These paintings having been on exhibition of the spring exhibition each of the judges had ample opportunity for viewing them, and each accordingly an- nounced that he had arrived at a decision and was ready to proceed to vote. The first ballot awarded the first prize of $800 to A. F. Mathews’ “Discovery of the Bay of San Francisco. The second_batlot awarded the second prize of $150 to_Willlam Keith’s “Discovery of the Bay of San Francisco.” ‘The third bailot swarded the third prize of $50 to Emil Pissis’ “‘Discovery of the Bay of san Francisco.” We are, gentlemen, vours very respectiully, FREDERICK S.

Previous to this the record for deep souhdings was held by our old warship Tusearora, which MUD HORSES IN DEMAND Shield Bearer Was the Only Winning Favorite in the Slushy Going. PERHAPS WAS IN HIS ELEMENT Fannie S Was Played Down for a “Killing”—Walter J Again Scores Very Easily. Horses with an especial fondness for juicy going had a great'day of it at the track yesterday. The mild “April show- ers’’ poured down incessantly, making the course very splashy. Rain beating in their faces proved very distasteful to the favor- ites; ‘Frank Phillips’ mud lark, Shield Bearer, being the only pronounced first choice to get home in front. Thoughts of damp feet, pneumonia ana big doctors’ fees did not keep the attend- ance down, for it was quite up to the average, and the betting was lively. One of those plunges, the foundation for which is penerally bidden in mystery, was made on Fannie 8, astarter in the four- furlong dash for maiden two-year-olds. From 30 to 1 the odds against the filly were hammered down to twos, and a feeling of uneasiness pervaded the ring until the race was decided. Fig Leaf, who opened 83 to 5 favorite and receded to 4 and 5 to 1, proved an easy winner, with Senator Morgan finishing in the place in front of Viking. The *‘good thing’’ éxhibited some speed the first part of the journey, but her showing scarcely warranted the wild plunge.” Viking, who finished third, was the post favorite at 3 to 2. The talent made a sad mistake in choos- ing the horse to carry the bulk of the_coin in the opening six-furlong run. Veva, with H. Martin, was made a 7 to 5 choice, and failed to finish among the first three. Edgemountand Virgie A fought it out from start to finish, the former getting the de- cision by a short head. The winner went to the post at odds of 6 to 1. The next event, a five and a half furlong selling dash, was also taken in a hard drive. After showing out in front with the outsider Lady Terror, the even-money favorite Crawford shook the mare off, and through the stretch looked a winner, but the last forty yards wascollared and beaten out by Starling, the second cheice, ridden by Willie Flynn. Yreka finished a close third, The fourth race, a six furlongs under selling conditiens, was about the most open betting problem of the day. The crowd was undecided between Tonino, Perhaps and Heartsease, the general price in the books around post time being 2'to 1 and take your pick against any one of the trio. Ike Johnson on Perhaps sent his mount out in the lead when the field was dispatched, and showing the way through- out passed the stand a length before Tonino, who in a drive took the place from Senator Bland by a neck. A seven-furlong run with four starters again demonstrated what a vastly im- proved colt Walter J is. Startingan 8to5 second choice he immediately went to the front when the barrier was raised and fairly rolled in, passing the judges with hisrider pulling him up. Five lengths away Scimitar beat the 7 to 5 favorite out nearly a length for the place. Shields on Shield Bearer was a great combination in the last race of the day—a five and a half furlong spin—and followers of the favorite all got aboard at odds of 7 to 10 to even up the day’s losses. The re- sult was never in doubt, for the favorite was away first at the start and won as he pleased, with the 20 to L shot, Last Chance, finishing in the pla Track and Paddock Items. Old Jim R, the sprinter, was a starter in the second race. It was his first appear- ance since he stepped on that beer bottle e e e e —— “THE CALL” Track slushy.
