) THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903 Next Sunday's o— —_— < _0 L — e st iy | SR s ——O 'f o _ SUPPLENENT, B — S, ) “King of the Flock” is reproduced from a painting by the celebrated Belgian painter of poultry, E. R. Maes. The original, which hangs in the Chicago Art Institute, shows the fowls life size, and the remarkable real- ism of the painting is faithfully preserved in § cvery detail in The Call’s Art Supplement. The artist’s remarkable skill is shown not only in the accurate delineation of the fowls and the lifelike rendering of their sleek plumage, but also in the painting of the land- scape background and the accessories. The artist raises his own models and keeps them on a farm which he owns at Coutich, near Antwerp. Many of them, like their master, are winners of medals and prizes, for they are not of common stock, and Maes is one of the leading poultry fanciers of Belgium. His pictures show clearly his great familiarity with his subjects. Each hen and chick shows distinct individuality. They differ not only in form and color, but their attitudes and even their expressions difier. Note the air of watchful responsibility of the mother of the chicks, the alertness of thé brown hen, and the pride of the cock. -1 Edgar Remy Maes was born at Puers, near Antwerp, in 1849. His father was a black- smith, and at the age of 12 Maes became his assistant. It was a visit to an uncle, who was a portrait painter in Brussels, that first gave him the idea of becoming an artist. He was about 15 years of age when he began to paint. For several years he made copies in the museums to earn a livelihood. Finally a dealer, who saw his ability, agreed to pay him 30 francs a week to paint pictures of animals for the trade. This gave the young artist an opportunity to attend the night classes of the Antwerp Art Academy, and hie so well applied himself that in four years he had won three prizes. It was his ‘ambition to become a figure painter, but his reputation had been launched and connoisseurs came so rapidly for paintings of animals that he found no time for figure painting. He was engaged for considerable periods to work exclusively for a London dealer, a Paris dealer, Mr. Wilson, United States Consul at Brussels, and, final- Iy, by Dhuyvetter, the Antwerp dealer, for whom he has painted nearly 300 pictures since 1875.

Though the original divorce suit of Max | Rosenfeld against Agnes S. Rosenfeld been dismissed, and in consequence her cross-complaint, they are still contest- ants for honors in the divorce court. The original suit and the cross-complaint, in which cruelty was alleged, was dismissed yesterday, and within an hour thereaf a sult for divorce on the ground of deser- tion was filed by Mrs. Rosenfeld. This means that the young couple have come to an agreement concerning their difficul- ties, with the result that Mrs. Rosenfeld is permitted to obtain a decree on ths/| desertion charge, thus saving a public exposure of their domestic infelicities. Mrs. Rosenfeld alleges in her complaint tbat her husband deserted her thirteen months age. ational affidavit in connection divorce proceedings brought by | I ‘Wallace against Dora Wallace on the charge of infidelity was filed by Mrs. Wallace yeSterday.

MURASKY HOLDS FIRST SESSION OF NEW COURT Six Delinquent Boys Appear Before Him and Are Taken Care Of. The first session of the new juvenile court was held in Department 2 of the Superior Court yesterday, with Judge Mu- | rasky on the bench. The cases of six young boys, arrested for running about the streets, and who are known as ‘“de- linquent children,” were heard. One of them, John B. Lawson, 10 years of age | and a bright and sturdy youngster, at- | tracted considerable attention because of | the strange tale he told the court. He said he was from Iowa; that a short time | ago his parents had a quarrel and left him to shift for himself. That he was | able to take care of himself 1s evidenced | by his statement that he came all the way from his homg to California on a brakebeam. He was“lurned over to the | Boys' and Girls' Aid Soclety. The other boys were Andrew Wood, James McDonough, Fred F. Brown, Eu- | gene Hickey and James Wallace.

Polygamy Declared to Be Openly Taught and Practiced. Fia RN i Charges Are Result of Recent Expul- sion of Missionaries From Ger- many and Statement of President Smith. Crledii Special Dispatch to The Call. SALT LAKE, Utah, May 8 — Open teaching and practice of polygamy on the part of the Mormons is alleged in affida- vits which have been sent from Salt Lake to Secretary of State Hay and to Baron von Holleben, the German Embassador in Washington. The affidavits result from the recent ex- pulsion of Mormon missionaries from Germany and the following statement on the subject, made by President Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church: “Polygamy is not authorized by the Mormon church nor permitted under its auspices. The German authorities have allowed themselves to be swayed by re- ligious prejudices and groundless re- ports.” The affidavits are made by Charles Magstyn Owen, who was prominent in the prosecution of Brigham H. Roberts. They have the indorsement of the Salt Lake Ministerial Association. Several instances of polyamy are cited, but the most im- portant is that of President Smith him- self. The statement is made that he is living openly in Salt Lake with five wives, and that he took one of his plural wives with | him to the dedlicatory exercises of the St. Louis Exposition. Of his forty-two chil- dren, it is stated that three are less than 3 years of age. Two of his wives are sald to be sisters. Their names and addresses in Salt Lake are given as follows: Julia 1. Smith, 333 West First Northstreét, which known as the personal resldence of President Smith; na L. Smith, hersister, who took the St. Louis trip, living around the corner at 143 North Second West street; Sarah E. Smith, at No. 157 of the )ame street, a sh distance away; Alice K. Smith, next door; Mary T. Smith, 5 st North Temple street, a couple of blocks away. Several other cases are cited, with more or less detail. GREWSOME FIND MADE ON MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE SITE Workmen Engaged in Excavating for New Structurs Unearth Mystery of Dim Past. Workmen engaged in excavating for the new Merchants’ Exchange building on California and Leldesdorff streets made a grewsome find yesterday afternoon in the form of a human skull and several of the larger bones of the' body of a man. M. Kelleher, the contractor in charge of the work, immediately communicated office and Deputy Brown repaired to the scene to investi- gate. The find was made in a trench about fifteen feet below the street level on the Leidesdorff side of the property. The skull and saveral bones were Ccollected and taken to the Morgue. Owing to the fact that any further search with shovels might cause a caving in of the earth all | work in the direction was abandoned un- til to-day, Bones could be plainly discerned in the sand and startling developments may re- sult from the find. All of the ground be- low Montgomery street is made land and a tragedy of the dim past has undoubtedly been brought to light. —_—— A Big Hit.

INGANE IMPULSE PROMPTS SUICIDE Irene Otto the Victim of a Mood When She Shot Herself. Coroner’s Jury Hears Story of Mad Freak of an Un- fortunate Girl. s —— ‘Tke inquiry into the death of Irene Otto, the 15-year-old girl who fatally shot her- self in the basement of the home of Mrs. Margaret Steadman, at 153 Cook street, on last Sunday morging, developed the fact yesterday that the child undoubtedly acted upon a mad impulse, prompted by & pecu- liar temperament which was wont to brood over fancied wrongs. The testl- mony failed to show that her act was the result of ill treatment or fear of the wrath of her fatiger. Mrs. Albert Cantor, the married sister of the dead girl, who lives at the home of her father, 360 Grove street, told of the quarrel which had taken place be- tween herself and Irene on the morning preceding the shooting when the younger girl wanted to go to the Chutes contrary to her father's wishes. She denied that she had threatened the ire of the elder Otto as a means for keeping the child at home and stated that her sister had always recelved kind treatment, though she was inclined to be moody, willful and a hoyden. Richard Otto Jr., Albert Cantor, his brother-in-law, and Richard Otto, the father of the dead girl, told the story of their search for the missing child on the night of her disappearance. The fath- er of Irene declared that she has always been his companion: that he had never maltreated her, and that he could give no reason for her hasty act other than her moody nature. Mrs, Margaret Steadman of 153 Cook street told of how the young girl, who was a constant playmate df her children, had spent Saturday at her home and re- fused to go home at night, although she assigned no reason for so-doing. Accord- ing to her testimony, Irene carried the pistol all day in her blouse, saying that she did so only to frighten the children. The witness sail that Irene never com- plained of cruel treatment. Mrs. Roman, an artist of 441 Point Lo- bos avenue, took the stand to! testify to stories of cruelty which she had heard from neighbors, but the father denied these. The jury rendered a verdict of death by gunshot wound, self-inflicted with sui- cidal intent and prompted by despond- ency. .--*tx.:¥v *"';}.‘."'!.

DENVER, May 8.—The building at 1510 to 1514 Larimer street, occupied by Mi- chaelson Bros.! clothing store, with a rooming-house on the second floor, col- lapsed a few minutes before 8 o’clock to- night.
