GENIUS ABSOLVES DISHONEST MaN Noted Sculptor Not Amenable to Moral Laws. Albert Gilbert Af- fords Interest- ing Problem. Epecial Dispatch to The Call LONDON, May 7.—Does the posses n of u ic talents of the highest their possessor from the of common konesty, which are held to be binding on ordinary mor- tals! That is the interesting question which has been raised here by the ex- posure of .t.l;red Gilbert’s dealings with one of his clients. Mrs. Franksu, bet- to the literary world as nby,’” whose book, ‘“Pigs in " sold remarkably well on both the Atlantic. Gilbert is y the most gifted ptors. Some of his countrymen ® Lim bigher even than Rodin in e Tanks of great present day artists, His statue of Queen Victoria at Win- thester is regarded as one of the finest ®f medern times. He has been engaged for some time on the memorial to the Duke of Clarence in the Albert Chapel, Windsor—a deeign be: of extraordinary uty, which is, however, still jncom- - rs. Frankan gave Mr. Gilbert a com mission to execute a m nument to her deceased husband, which he accepted with slacrity, readily promising to somplete it within six months. The price lgrud upon was $3000. It was arrang- #d on Mr. Gilbert’s suggestion that he should receive $750 on the signing of the agreement, $250 per month for four months on his certificate that the work Was progressing satisfactorily and the on the delivery of the monu- ment. On the strength of ki yeports, re received $1000. W wrecks of the time when he ha taken to complete the monument, he wrote that his work ‘‘is progressing even betier than I had expected.”” But when the time arrived for its delivery, sccording to the terms of the contract, scovered that it bad ge of a the bronze, for which payment been demanded, there e.

Meanwhile, as Mr. Gilbert lives in Bruges, he is outside the pale of Brit- ish law. He is a Royal Academician, and & member of its Council, but when sppezled to in the matter, Bir Edward Poynter, the Pr of the Academy, took the groun to interfere in the pr members.’’ It is not the first time that the dis- bnguished sculptor has done things that would be zecou msa who eoul Jttes of genius. late Bir Heary I Ineluding several ‘‘supers’’ at the Ly- eeum, subscribed for a presentation to him which was to take the form of a bell. The commission was given to Mr. Gilbert = the money was paid over to him. The bell has never been deliv- ered. When an artist or sculptor is elected §o the Royal Academy it is customary for the recipient of the homor to pre- pent the inmstitution with a specimen of %is work. Mr. Gilbert borrowed for the purpose s silver statue which he had sold to & friend and made the Acad- emy & gift of it. The friend bas never sinee been able to secure the return of the money which he paid for it or ob- tain & replice of the work.

Human bones that evidently came from the bodies of two human beings, an adult and a child, were found Sun day in the rdins of the rooming house at 964 Geary strect by Mrs. N. Jones - of 1395 O’'Farrell strest. The bones were among & pile of bricks that had evidently crashed through from the roof, and it would look as if two pecple had been crushed to death there by the falling bricks were it not that the frontal bone of the adult skull shows the neat work of the surgeon’s saw. This indicates t the bones are from articulated skeletons that were probably in a doo tor's office. Mrs. James formerly lived at 98{ Geary, and was looking among the rulns there because of curiosity whes she saw the relics.
