16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1896 A STRANGLER BEHIND THE BARS, Isabella Morris Narrowly Escapes Being Mur- dered. ASSAULTED BY J. LEWIS The Victim Thrown Down in a Deserted- Alley and Se- verely Used. POLICEMAN ROBLES' CAPTURE. Heard the Struggle in the Dark and Succeeded in Arresting the Offender. Another supposed strangier is behind the bars of the City Prison, and unlike those who have preceded him he isin a measure self-confessed and was also caught in the very act of throttling 8 woman of the half world in a dark and desected alley off Montgomery street, near Wash- ington. It-was at an early hour this morning when the crime was committed, and at that time, the electric ts being out, it was dark as pitch. Officer F. Robl, who patrols Mont- gomery street, was walking along his beat, when he was startled upon reach- ing Merchant alley, to hear the gurg- ling sound of a strangling human being. His mind being full of the recent out- rageous murders, he quickly arrived at the conclusion that another helpless woman was being assassinated and rushed up the alley. Just as hereached the center of the block, he heard a mgn’s voice cry out: “If ! you cry, I will strangle you to death as I i | | did the other notorious women of your | class.” This spurred him on in his search and finally he spied a larze man with his fingers clutched around the throat of & woman who was prostrate on the pave- ment. The would-be assassin and the officer saw each other at the same time and the former released his hold on his victim and sprang as if to escave, but Robl was too quick for him and soon had him safely ironed. The woman then got up and both were started for the California-street Police Station. . On reaching the light it was ob- served that the victim of the assault was a young colored woman. When they reached the station a mes- senger was dispatched for Detective Ben Bohen and in the meantime the man was charged with battery. He gave the name of John Lewis and said that he wasan iron-molder by occupation. He f{ailed, however, to explain the motive which led him to assault and nearly murder the young colored woman. When Detective Bohen arrived the girl toid her story. She said her name .is Isabella Morris and that she lives in Hinckley alley. “I was going through Merchant street,”” she said. “in order to buy some medicine at a drugstole on Montgomery street, near Clay. As I reached the center of the block the prisoner jumped on me and threw me to the ground. He grasped my throat with one hand and placed the other over my mouth to prevent me from making an outery. “To add to my terror he kepi cautioning me not to make an outcry, as he said that in event I dia he would strangle me to death as he had strangled several other girls of mv class during the last five months. This failed to silence me, how- ever, but I could make no outery and only a gurgling sound came from my lips when 1 tried to scream. “Finally he released his hold and I im- mediately saw that it was a policeman who had turned the tide in my favor. 1 honestly believe that if he had not been interrupted in his work I would have been strangled to death.” While she was telling her story the prisoner stood by but never offered to contradict her statements. When she had finished he was led back into his cell mumbling incoherent sentences as he wal ked. Detective Bohen, although he isnotsure that Lewis is responsible for the recent murders, is not certain that he is not, and he will be heid pending & lengthy inves- tigation. Inany event he will be convicted of assault and battery, and while he is serving his sentence the detectives will have ample time to look up his record. — PREPARING TO COMPETE, The Full List of Athletes Who Will Appear To- Morrow. | i Central Park B:ing Put in Condition for Record-Breaking Per- formances.

PAINTINGS LIKE KEITH'S The Meteoric Jules Mersfelder Proved a Clever Imi- tator. SIDE BY SIDE IN A STORE. Keith Went Wild and the Artists Grinned—Eccen(ricities of the Young Painter. ‘Something has happened in art circles in this City to disturb the even temper of William Keith and to set the artists all a- laughing. Gossip of the studio hasit that the eminent landscape painter is furious and indignant. Atthesametime theartists draw mental pictures of Keitu in his gal- lery on Pine street tcaring out his hair and fuming all apout the oriental carpets. And the innocent cause of it all—Jules Mersfelder, votary of what he used to call the “quality school,” is far, far away. Mersfelder’s meteoric career went out in San Francisco quite recently. His fading away from the local artistic firmament contained a pathetic story hidden beneath the surface, and, unconsciously, it was ac- companied by a little transaction which ruffied the lofty soul of his beau ideal— Keith. Bringing the subject down to the present, there are paintings by Mersfelder and Keith sige bv side in a Geary-street art store, and only competent judges of an artist explained when laughing with fellow-painters over the story. R Merstelder vanished from” the City im- mediately after selling his pictures. He met Chris Jorgensen on the Sacramento train, and contided to him that he was zo- ing to his only friend in New York. artists and connoisseurs here had con- s{nrczl against him, Whereat be wept bitter tears.. He had a ticket to Sacramento, and. appeared in stylish attire. And now a story comes from Sacramento of & wonderful dash maae there by the im- ressionist artist. It was told in Chris orgensen’s- class at the capital. . Accord- ing to it Mersfelder went to the best hotel in town and gave out that he was there on 4 contract with Mrs. Crocker to paint some great historical picture. Anyhow, he got the best aEartments in the botel, and set the piace by the ears with language that passed through his sombrero. ~He put on tremendous airs, and talked big things about art, and Mrs, Crocker's order in par- ticular, till at last the people imagined that Raphael had come back again to earth and somehow alighted in Sacra- mento. - This did not last long, however, for Mersfelder had to subdue his soaring fancies abruptly. The latest account is he lost himself somewhere at the other side of the Capital city, B S ART IS FREE FOR ALL, | No Admisslon Charge To-Day at the Murk Hopkins Institute. To-day being the first Friday of the month of May, the superb spring exhibi- tion of patronage by San Francisco artists will be open to all, free of charge, at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. As the weather indications point to a bright, sunshiny ddy, a very large throng may be expected. Possibly the existing record of 2000 admissions on a single day may be surpassed. The paintings displayed at the magnifi- cent mansion on the hill are hi:hl{ credit- able and worthy of careful study. Nothing 1s more gratifying to W. G. Stafford, the A FOGGY MORNING IN THE OAKS. This Is One of Mersfelder’s Paintings' Which Closely Imitates Keith’s Pictures, and Was Placed Beside Them in an Art Store. |Reproduced from a pen sketch by the artist.) technique in ‘painting can _distinguish which is Keith's and which Mersfelder’s Such a thing became possible throug! the ambition of the young artist. “It dawned upon me early in my | career,”’ he :laimed one day in the Press Club, “that it was my destiny to be distingnished as an exponent of the qual- ity school of painting. I went East and studied, and was recognized in New York, where my pictures hafi the place of honor in the exhibition.” He produced a well-worn catalogue with a sketch of a marine painted by him and exhibited in the New York Academy of | Arts. “That is proof of what I say,’”’ he con- tinued. ‘I despise pretensions. I met Innes there, and found that he and I were jollowing the same ideals. We painted in the quality school. w that reminds me. People out here have said that I imitate Keith. Ridicaulous. Keith is a great artist, [ admit, but he is work- ing in_the same direction. That is all | there is in the similarity. of our work. There is soul in the landscape when painted in the impressionist, quality siyle.”” | Then some friend of Mersfelder tendered | him a benefit concert in Golden Gate Hall. | He had been exceedingly unfortunate in disposing of his pictures ever since he | ! | genial secretary of the Art Association, to Mr. Martin, thé manager, and to the lead- teachers, Messrs.

Massive Designs in Stone, Sur- mounted by - Bronze Sphinxes. WILL BE THE MAIN ENTRANCE. Designed by C. E. Hodges, and to Be Completed Before Com- mencement Day. Asa fitting monument to Mrs. Stan- ford’s ultimate triumph in the great Gov- ernment suit for $15,000,000, a beautiful gateway is being erected at the main en- trance to the university campus. It is the first substantial building in keeping with the original designs of the extensive quadrangle group that has been attempted since the death of Senator Stanford nearly three years ago; for soon after that the estate became involved in the litigation that barred all its sources of revenue and left the university dependent solely upon Mrs. Stanford’s private for- tune for its necessary expenses, amount- ing to nearly $1000 a day. in the minds of students and visitors first passing through the portals, the new sphinx-crowned pillars will hereafter be associated with victory and wisdom, and when the present seniors shall go out from their alma mater at the end of this month as graduates, content in the assured pros- perity of the institution, the sentiment connected with the new gateway willleave 8 lasting impression of one of the best tra- ditions of the college. Each gatepost is formed of rough-hewn yellow sandstone blocks, with four stone | pillars at the corners, and on the top of this substantial pile is to be a solid block of stone as a pedestal fora bronze Egyptian sphinx that will surmount the whole ana make the top of the gatepost fully eighteen | feet above the ground. From the nccumpnnying sketch, made from the designs of Charles Edward Hodges, the university architect, may be gained a good 1dea of the general appear- ance of the whole structure, which will be completed about May 13, Mr. Hodges is also authority for the statement that the long-expected and much-neded large auditorium or hall for t')mpl"l“ lectures will probably scon be uilt. The temporary chapel building with seats for 400 has long been made to accom- modate over 600 on specidl occasions,when the extra persons have had to stand in | compact bodies and occupy every avi able space on the sills of the tiers of small windows peculiar to the Moorish architec- ture. It is probable also that this deco- rative gateway marks only the beginnin, of more extensive buildings to be erecte: on the campus in accordance with the elaborate but ancompleted plans suggasted by the present beautiful quadrangle. The gateway marks the Palo Alto en- trance to the grounds, and is within 100 yards of the railroad station. At it begins also the Palo Alto avenue, a broad drive- way skirted by fan palms and leading to the quadrangle, a mile to the southward, The Beautiful New Victory Gateway Being Built at the Main Entrance to the Stanford University The Design Is of Yellow Sandstone, Surinounted With Bronze Sphinxes. Campus. ainted the panorama of San Francisco Por'the Columbian Exposition. The con- cert gave him a new startand with the generous !oan of costly Turkish rugs and draperies he fitted up a studio in the St. Anne’s building. “Now, indeed, do_I feel inspired to per- form great deeds,” Mersfelder exclaimed, as he reclined on an oriental couch. “If the artists of San Francisco were not jeal- ous of me, ii they'would only give me & chance I know my pictures would create a sensation.”” He worked industriously for a month. He went into the country and made sketches of trees, and painted half a dozen large scenes of glades in the forest. “A Fogzy Morning in the Oaks,” “An Open- ing in the Forest’” and ‘*‘Sunset,’”’ the last representing the glow of evening glinting upon an autumnal scene tinging the foli- age with fantastic hues. These were the best efforts of the month, not devoid of merit, and remarkably similar to some of Keith’s pictures. But the second month’s rent upset the ambitious young artist's nerves. The luxurious draperies of the East were returned and Mersfelder disposed of his whole stock of pictures to the Geary- street dealer for—*'a song.” i It seems that some of Keith's paintings were in the same store, one of them a $1500 beauty lately purchased by C. P. Hun- tington. 3 As the story goes, Keith dropped into the artstore the other day. The first thing his eye met was this picture, and then be- tide ft were the copies of Mersielder's all looking so nearly alike that the uninitiated might easily believe the one artist painted the entire jot. The master of landscape went wild at the sight and engry words followed, with the result that the dealer and he are friends no more. “The pictures were like peas in a pod,” dren have been extended the freedom of the grounds and free transportation has been given by the railroad company.
