SLOSS OF THIS CITY. WHO HAS BEEN SELEC RNOR PARDEE TO SUCCEED THE LATE WALTER VAN DYKE TED SUPREME COURT. The wise politiclans who have been making guesses as to whom Governor Pardee would choose to fill the vacancy | on the Supreme bench caused by the death of Justice Van Dyke of Los An- geles have a real shock In store for them. The high place has gone to a man whose name was mentioned but as .a Governor Pardee announced that he would appoint Su- last night | perior Judge Max C. Sloss of San Fran- | cisco to the place. For the position that | will be made vacant in the lower court | when Judge Sloss is elevated Governor | Pardee says he will name John A. Hos- | mer, the well-kr®wn attorney of this city. | 1t 1s expected that the appointments | will be made in a few days. Governor | Pardee said he would officially name | Judge Sloss at once, but that there are many cases pending-before the latter and before the robes of the higher office de- scend upon him. Down in the southland, where the poli- ; | ticians stay awake nights, like they do over in Alameda, figuring out’ the com- binations on any appointment to office that may be pending, there are some men who have prided themselves on being good judicial timber who had all but made arrangements to wind up their practices that they might take the BSu- preme Court berth suddenly thrown open. These and a majority of the politicians who think they are so far on the inside that nothing can be done without them knowing it long befors. the 'winner comes home were so certain the place was golng to a man below Tehachdpi that they had ceased to consider any one but the orange belt candidates. JUDGE MONROE DECLINED. True, Judge Charles Monroe of the An- gel City had told Governor Pardes he couldn’t accept the appointment because of the brief term it carried with it, but there were others willing to serve, and they never thought the searchlight of the gubernatorial inspection of timber would swing to, the Golden Gate. The names of Judge Slpss and Judge Sweeney of Shasta were mentioned, but it had be- gun to look as if neither had a chance. That Governor Pardee has but very recently decided finally upon Judge Sloss —perhaps during the last two or three daye—is believed by most of the poli- ticians. It is thought by them that the Governor had practically, determined to appoint a man from tHe south up to that time. Swift and powerful political influences in behalf of Sloss have borne Franciscan is the victor in the contest for one of the most prized of judicial po- sitions. It was but pecently that Judge Bloss and Judge omas F. Graham wers rivals for the presiding judgeship of ‘the San Francisco Superior Court. A’ con- test was expected, but Judge Graham stepped aside. He will now undoubtedly be made presiding Judge It is said Judge Sioss' friends were particularly | anxious the last named should be hon- | ored with the place, as it was a step in line with the still higher elevation he t. ; wf\"?m that has deterred many jurists who would have been strong candidates for the Supreme Justiceship in coming | forwara is that the appointment will be only for a little less than one year. Judge Sloss, if he wishes further tenure 2s @ Supreme Justice, will have to ob- tain a nomination and run ‘again this 11, “Se'ven.l Superior Judges with several years yet to serve would otherwise have been aspirants, but they thought it wiser | | it is desired he shall clear his calendar | all down before them and the young San | — to retain something they felt to be more certain. % % BOTH HAVE GOOD RECORDS. Judge Sloss is a graduate of Harvard and has always been known as a hard- working and thorough student of the law. He was elected a Superior Judge of this city on November 6, 1900, and con- sequently has two more years to serve. | Ambition to make a name for himself and serve his State are the main incentives | for him. His family being very wealthy, the financial emoluments of office are 12 secondary consideration to the young 1 Jurist. John Hosmer is one of the best-known lawyers of San Francisco. He has served with distinction as a deputy District At- torney and was connected with such fa- mous cases as those of Durrant and Mrs. Botkin. He was employed as special counsel for the prosecution by the Mer- chants’ Association in the cases of Stef- fens, Wyman and Rebstock, all convicted of election frauds. He made the race once for Superior Judge. It is likely that Hosmer will be assigned | to the trial of criminal cases and that | one of the Judges now sitting In a crim- inal court will take up civil work. —_———— WOMEN BENEFIT BY STRIKE OF THE MALE BOOKBINDERS Are Also Accorded Eight-Hour Day ‘Won by the Mea ip Recent Con- test With Assoclation.

Eh TRLE AT First Display of Paintings of Chrysanthemum Land Ever Seen Ontside of It U L T < {PRINTS TO BE BARRED| [ o5es FExclusiveness) This Form of Art, Declares Shimada Sekko, Not Art at All, but Artisanship ! { | | | first exhibition of Japanese paintings ever held outside of Japan—a distinction and preciate. The exhibition will open on February 12, at the Institute of Art, and will re- main open for three days. But friends, “if you have tears, prepare to shed them now.” In that display, the decree has gone forth, there will be no prints—absolutely and resolutely ‘no prints. ” And the reason? Because, say the Japaneses painters and critics, prints are not examples of art, but specimens of artsanship, and upder no circumstances would they be included in an exhibition of painting in Japan— therefore must they mnot be entered here —a decislon that at least holds the dis- tinction of being logical. But alas! The discrimination is a cruel Jolt to the neophytes in Japanese art lore—to those of them that preen them- selves upon the possession of a few ‘'old” prints of ‘“priceless’” value. Far be it from me—mere tyro at Buddha's shrine of beauty—to have pro- mulgated so heretical and revolutionary a decision. But I have it from the lips of Shimada Sekko, now dwelling among us —acknowledged one of the best of lving Javanese painters and a man of unim- peachable knowledge of his craft. Like- wise have I corroboration from Henry P. Bowle, founder and president of the Japan Soclety, he who studled for five years in Japan under the best masters of the empire, and who latterly was hon- ored by the Emperor and Empress each purchasing pictures from his brush that hung in the spring exhibition at Tokio. With these impeachments against their character and worth it looks pretty bad for the poor old prints. And we who loved them had so fancled ourselves :ldepu in the mysteries of Japanese art, as! But back to the exhibition. It will contain 150 authorized genuine specimens of paintings upon silk toshi— Chinesé paper, gold screens or anclent torinoko, Japanese paper—and from these pictures we may get a focus upon what Japanese art really is; that it is not the distillation of hdsheesh dreams nor the essence of grotesqhé horrors, but & beautiful scheme of symbolism, in which spirituality is the basic principle. And let it be remembered that he who holds no spirituality in his soul holds not the key to Japanese art, as exhib- ited in the paintings of the Land of the Mikado. The pictures to be shown will be water- colors and sumiyea—the latter done in a liquid of great possibilities, perfumed with the breath of cherry blossoms and capable of Infinite expression. Among the schools of painting will bé shown specimens of the following: Bun- jin, Kanaoka, dating back 1200 years; Takuma, 1000 year old; Sumiyoshi, Tosa, Besshu, Kano, Chinanpin, .China school; Korin, Korean school; Maruyama _or Okyko, Bunchu, Yosai, 8ai, Ukiyoye, Bu- bota and the modern China school. So, too, will there be twenty or thirty specimens of famous writings, notably those of Ichiroku, the personal friend-of the Emperor and pet of the empire, who passed away four months ago honored and mourned by the entire nation. The pictures to be shown will be in water-colors and in sumi—the latter called sumiyea—pronounced sumiya. —_————————— Youth Shoots Pistol in Street. ‘Wine imbibed at the Newsboys' ban- quet in honor of the return of Mitch- ell, familiarly known as “Mitch,” who ran the Britt-Nelson fight mioving pic- tures for Coffroth in the East, was the indirect cause of a shooting in front of the Haymarket Theater on Mason street at 11 o'clock last night.

John Jarg, a bottle-washer employed by the Reiner Brewing Company and residing at 8272 Eighteenth street, was walking on the railroad track on Har- rison street, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth, yesterday afternoon as the outward-bound Santa Cruz train came thundering along. As soon as the en- gineer saw the man- he blew the alarm whistle. Jarg pafd no ~ heed to the frenzied tooting. The engine was glowed down and fortunately hit Jarg only hard enough to knock him down. He only gazed vacantly at the snorting agent of death that wae so near to sending him, to the Morgue. He went to the City Hospital, where Dr. Fisher dressed a few slight abrasions on his hips and back. Celtic Hall ASsociation Meets.

SLOSS IS TO BE MADE!PMN T0 SHOW [SMART SET PLANNING “TO LEAVE BURLINGAME Burlingame will soon cease to be swelldom. Members of the Smart Set are planning an exodus. | The exclusive village has become too thickly populated by the hoi polloi of late and the ultra exclusive are preparing to pull up stakes. Because of Town Lot Boom. i Object of Muck Bitterness. 1hriftity Opens the| Portals Wide to Hoi Polloi. Exclusive Burlingame will soon be transformed into an ordinary village,’ for the members of the smart set have | decided to move out. Already they have made arrangements to move the clubhouse, golf links and polo fleld beyond San Mateo, where they flopo to find refuge from the ordinary class of people that is fast flocking into Bur- lingame and establishing residence there. A merry row is brewing between Henry T. Scott, one of the largest land owners of Burlingame, and the other members of the exclusive colony. The socioty folks blame Mr. Scott for the influx of humble householders. He re- cently subdivided his land intg town lots and sold them rapidly. The place began to build up at an alarming rate, and even now groceries, butcher shops and pretty little cottages cover a large area of the land that the exclusive Blingumites were so very anxious to re- tain for their own- benefit. The society people have been worried for nearly a year now. Many confer- ences were held recently, and finally, in a fit of desperation and despair, they decided to abandon their beloved Bur- lingame and take to the woods back of San Mateo, where another clubhouse will be built, another golf links laid out and another polo fleld leveled off. The plans are already completed and the colony is liable to be shifted at al- most any timg now. A sort of syndi- cate was recently formed and the new land secured without any difficulty. E. J. de Sabla Jr., president of the Califor- nia Gas and Electric Corporation, was mentioned as the prime mover in the new deal. He strenuously denies that he has been commissioned to purchase the new tract, but admits that the smart set is about to desert Burlingame and .take up theil abode elsewhere. CAROLAN WILL LEAVE. There is also a rumor afloat to the fect that Francis Carolan will leave Burlingame forever. Carolan is the owner of the beautiful Crossaways Farm, ong of the finest country places in the State. The house was construct- ed at & cost of more than $100,000 and the stable is worth about $60,000. Carolan returned from Europe with his wife a few days ago. When he learned that Burlingame was being in- vaded by men, women and children in the ordinary walks of life he is sald to have been dumfounded. He is quoted as saying that it is impossible for him to return to Burlingame, now that the place has lost its air of exclusiveness, and rumor has it"that the grand house and grounds will be disposed of just as soon as their owner can manipulate the deal. The rush of suburbanites to Bur- lingame commenced about a year ago. It was then that Henry T. Scott declded to cut up some of his property Into town lots. He saw a chance to dis- posc of the land at a big profit. When the lots were put on the market they sold like the proverbial hotcakes. Scott's example was followed by the executors of the Howard estate, and soon the entire country for miles around was laid out in town lots that invited the home builder. SCOTT COLDLY AFTER COIN. This started trouble between BScott and the other members of the exclusive colony. Scott, bes being a big property owner at Burlingame, is in- cidentally & member of the real swag- ger crowd. Of course, they all thought Scott was their friend, and never dreamed of his thrifty scheme and the opening of his pockets for profits from the hoi pollol. But Scott “put one over,” as it were, and performed the feat so quietly that it was some time before the others became wise. The feelings of #he members of the country club were ruffled beyond de- scription. They became so sore that a committee wag sent to walit on Scott and ask the meaning of such an out- rage. Scott was extremely cold and hard-headed about the matter, and cas- ually informed his associates in the so- clal sphere that he 'saw a chance to gather some money out of his realty holdings and forthwith seized it. He added that his land was still up for sale, would remain so till it was - all sold, and that any man who had the price was welcome to a lot, no mat- ter what sort of an election precinct he voted in. The members of the hunt club do nmot relish the {dea of being stared at by the common pop- ulace when they start out for a little chase in the afternoon. As it s now, the thriving villagers of Bur- 1 know ‘too much altogether of what is doing in the realm of swell- dom, It is hard indeed to be exclusive when the baker or the candlestick- ‘maker is fathering a noisy family next 1f the Carol decide to fogxsake Burlingamé the p] is surely doomed as the headquarters of the elect and select.
