CONDITION CF THE CONTEST The contest is divided into three pe- riods, constituted as follows: First, November 19 to Japuary 18, elght weeks; second, January 13 to luarch 3, seven weeks; third, March 3 to April 14, six weeks. There are twenty-five prizes to be competed for during each contest pe- riod, consisting of twenty-five purses of gold coin, ranging in amount from $20 up to $500, and making a total of $2000 from each period. There are also twenty-five special purses of grand sweepstake prizes for the twenty-five contestants making the best scores during the entire contest, the largest of these purses being $1000 and the smallest $40, and amounting to $4000 In the aggregate. The final distribution of the prizes will be made on April 18, the first an- niversary of the San Franclaco fire. The twenty-five purses for each of| the three contest perlods and the twenty-five special sweepstake prizes make a grang total of 100 prizes, amounting to $10,000, to be distributed among the winners. Subscribers to The Call will have the privilege of selecting the winners of these prizes by preparing thelr sub- scriptions for any length of time that may be convenient, each pald sub- scription counting for a certain pumber of votes that may be cast in favor of any contestant whom the subscriber may desire to assist in getting a share of the money. The contestant receiv- ing the highest number of such votes during any contest period will receive the largest purse; the one receiving the second highest number of votes the next largest purse, and so on until the number of prizes alloted for that pe- riod is exhausted.

As yet the Su- preme Court has not given an opinfon on the valldity of the indictments. One of Ruef's attorneys is authority for the statement that there is a strong pre- sumption that the Supreme Court will not act until the Mayor returns from the White House. Those in the District Attorney's of- fics do not believe that the Supreme Court will await the pleasure of the Meyor before passing upon the quali- fications cf the Grand Jury. Assistant District Attorney Heney would not say last evening what steps would be taken in the event that Ruef should use the Mayor's absence as a reason for the postponement of his day of trial. Since Ruef and Schmitz have punctiliously kept themselves as well apart as they could in the legal proceedings growing out of the French restaurant graft, it is a matter for conjecture whether Ruef will have the face to insist upon a postponement of the court’s ruling merely because his companion in al- leged crime is holding a powwow with the Great White Chiet over the yellow race problem. SCHOOL GHILDREN HONOR LINGOLN The school children of San Francisco propose to repeat tomorrow a lesson to their elders in patriotism and devo- tion to the memory of Abraham Lin- coln by observing the anniversary of his birth. As heretofore the exercises in the various schools will be wit- nessed by delegations from the various Grand Army posts of this city. Every grade In the public schools will be visited by the veterans, who will take an active part in the informal ceremonies. This day is a favorite one with the children, for the grizzled vet- erans who fought with Meade at Gettys- | burg or Grant at Vicksburg, or marched with Sherman to the sea, tell the story of their days of battle, march and | hardship. The children sing songs of | patriotism and recitations are enjoyed. | Through the éfforts of the Grand| Army Lineoln's birthday is rapidly be- coming recognized. John H. Roberts, adjutant general of the department of California and Nevada, said yesterday that plans are well under way looking to a State celebration of the hundredth |anniversary of Lincoln's birth, two | vears hence. For the thousands who cannot journey on that day to Hardin| | County, Ky., where Lincoln was born, |and listen to the speech which Roos: velt will deliyer and the other cere- | monies of the occasion, there is being planned a great celebration which will | be held in San Francisco and attended | by lovers of Lincoln's name from all over California. Lincoin’s birthday will be made memorable this year by the introduc- tion of a bill in the Legislature pre- pared by Judge Advocats Henry C. Dibble, which will provide for the fly- ing of a flag from the masthead of every school in the State. A feature of the celebration will be the visit of Lincoln Post to the Lincoln Night School. For eleven years Lincoln Post has been the guest of the pupils of Lincoln School. This year the school | is wiped out, but Principal A. H. Mec- Donald of the Lincoln Night School, which meets at the Hearst school bulld- |ing, has issued an invitation to the | post and has arranged a programme | appropriate for the occasion. Abraham Lincoln was the theme of the address of Rev. I Curtis Meserve, D.D., of the Plymouth Congregational Church at the evening worship last night. Dr. Meserve spoke in the high- | est terms of the ability and integrity | of Lincoln and dwelt at length on the difficulties he had to overcome before he reached the Presidential chair. THOUSANDS ENJOY SUNDAY IN PARK Golden Gate Park was thronged yes- terday from the panhandle to the ocean shore by mfany thousands of men, women and children, the bright sun- shine and clear, cMsp air luring the people from their homes. The rains recently brought out the early spring blossoms and freshened the verdure of greensward and shrub- bery, and the park presented a most in- viting appearance. The acacias and the daffodils were in bloom and nature smiled everywhere. The crowd at the bandstand was the largest since the fire. Every one who had an automobile was out, and many who had none raised the price and hired one.. Two chauffeurs, Leslie J. Travis and Max Becker, allowed the exhilaration of the atmosphere to get the better of their caution and were arrested by a mounted policeman on the south drive for speeding beyond the limit of the ordinance. Across the bay the Beérkeley and Marin hills, wearing their early spring gowns of fresh green, were the scenes of many picnic parties. The ferry- boats were taxed to accommodate the throngs. The United Rallroads reported the biggest day's business for many months, and from the appearance of the cars between 65 and 6 o'clock In the evening the report was quite cor- rect. The only disagreeable feature | | To Restore Famous Paihting Artists Plan Traveling Gallery By Hanna Astrup Larsen Among the pictures at Mark Hopkins which were saved at the cost of being mutilated by being cut out ef their frames at theé time of the fire last April was the Constance de Beverly, by Toby Rosenthal. The famous painting was one af the best works of the artist. It ‘was painted many years ago to the or- der of Irving M. Scott. The subject is the scene from “Marmion,” in which oc- curs the trial of Constance. Irving Scott had a particular fancy for the scene, and not only suggested the theme, but also many of the details. The painter spent about six years over his pieture, laboring with painstaking faithfulness to make every detail per- fect in historical accuracy. An interesting insurance question arises in connection with the picture, which is now the property of Mrs. Scott. Being extremely valuable, it was naturally very heavily Insured. The terms were that in case it sustained any injury whatever the full insurance could be collected, the picture then be- coming the property of the company. The Scott family, however, refused to part with the picture, which, though injuredq, is still of great Intrinsic value, besides being dear to them for senti- mental reasons, having been a favorite of Mr. Scott's and being first hung in his house on Rincon Hill. They have therefore accepted the partlal settle- ment offered by the insurance company and they will have the picture restored. It i{s now at the home ‘of Dr. Knight Smith. Mrs. Smith was Miss Scott be- fore her marriage. It is probable that the Constance de Beverly will be sent to Europe to be restored by experts under the super- vision of Rosenthal himself, who has expressed a wish to that effect. It will require very delicate handling, for, in addition to being rippéd out of the frame, it has other serious injuries. In the shoulder of the principal figure there is a square about four inches long and two inches wide where the paint is loose from the canvas. It will prob- ably need to have a hole made in the canvas and glue poured in between the canvas and the paint. Artists claim that there is no one in this country to whom work of such delicacy can be safely intrusted, but that it must be sent to Europe, where there are firms which employ experts and make a spe- clalty of restoring pictures. The vicissitudes of the Constance de Beverley recall the story of another pleture of Toby Rosenthal, the Elaine. 0Old timers in San Francisco will tell the story of how the Elaine, then on exhibition in this city, was stolen by being cut out of the frame and carried away. It was finally recovered, but the boldness of the robbery made a nine days’ wonder which the great value of the picture served to intensify. Toby Rosenthal last visited his na- tive city in 1879, when he took part in | the midsummer jinks of the Bohemian | Club, making & number of sketches of the event. He is now living in Munich. . . . The Bohemian Club in erecting its new building, which is to be at the corner of Post and Taylor streets, will not forget the artists. There will be a large jinks hall, capable of seating a thousand people, and it will be at the disposal of the artists for exhibitions. It will be built with this in view and will be arranged in such a way that there will be a good light for pic- tures. The exact plan is not yet deter- mined upon. Of the pictures which covered every available Ini of wall space in the old club rooms but few were saved and these are mostly portraits. Perhaps the most irreparable -loss is the many cartoons made by famous men and commemorating soms special occasion, for these have a spontaneity and charm seldom seen In works that are made for lucre. One of the first efforts of the club will be bent toward acquiring | a new collection of pictures and to re- place its librar; Thére were many sites discussed for the location of the new club bullding. In choosing that on Post and Taylor streets and in planning for a buflding with a large number of rooms for rent- ing out many of the old-time members feel that the club will lose some of the true flavor of Bohemianism and they are afraid that it will be the entering ‘wedge of the commercial spirit. . . . The art section of the California Club has langulshed under the difficulties in- cident to keeping together In these times. The members haye been study- ing the old masters from reproductions. The classes have been under the leader- ship of Miss Idella C. Emmons. The club is planning very soon to take up a line of work that is new to the coast. It will try to collect a trav- eling gallery of paintings by California artists. By means of this small towns will have the opportunity of seeing goed art, which otherwise would sel- dom come their way. After it has made the rounds of California towns the library, may be sent East and may be the means of making Western art known in other sections of the country. Artists who have been Interviewed on the subject are very enthusiastic about the plamr and a number<have promised to contribute. Among those who have been asked to contribute are Keith, Cadenasso and other of the most wéll- kpown artists of California. The plan of a traveling gallery has been tried with great success in Chi- cago by the Illionis Federation. The California Club hopes to havé its gal- lery before autumn. . . . The Art Assoclation hopes to have the school of design in working order by April so that one month of the spring term may be given. Then in June there will be a complete reorgani zation with election of a board of di- rectors. It is not yet given out who will constitute the faculty. Mathews severed his connection with the school some time ago. Stanton is reported to be too busy painting pictures, and Dr. Alderson, former teacher of anat. omy, has a growing practice to at- tend to. Meyer will not go back, and indeed it 18 known that he has ap- proached some of the former pupils of the school with questions as to whether they would transfer their allegiance to him in the event of his starting a school of his own. So the institute, be- sides losing most of its old teachers, may find itself with a rival to compete with. A very Interesting collection of photographs is on exhibition at the Sequoia Club rooms. They are the work of E. 8. Curtls, who has made a speclal study of the American Indlan and is remarkably successful in catch- ing the noble red man with his camera. | Some of the pictures have a beauty of | composition that really lifts them, | though produced by mechanical means, | into the realm of art. One of the| most beautiful is that called “A Van- | ishing Race,” and picturing a group| of Indians riding away from the light into the darkness. | Curtis {s engaged in writing a his-| tory of the American Indian to be il- lustrated by the photographs he has taken @uring his sojourn among the| Indians of Arizona, New Mexico and| the Dakotas. President Roosevelt has interested himself in the work and has | written a letter to be used as a fore word in the first volume, which is to| be {issued this summer. J. Pierpont Morgan has contributed $75,000 for the | field work in connection with the book. | It is to be gotten out “regardless of | expense,” and will be within the reach of no one but millionaires among pri- vate persons, and, in fact, of but few libraries. PRESS CLUB DEANIND RELIEF MONEY DIES SUDDENLY Willlam Maitland, popularly known as the “dean of the Press Club," died on Saturday night of pneumonia at the Brevoort Hotel in New York. A tele- gram announcing his demise was re- ceived by his son, Louis W. Maitiand, yesterday. He was a well known min- ing man and vineyardist, owning much valuable property in this State, in which he had lived since October, 1884. Maitland was born in Scotland about 62 years ago. He went from his na- tive country at an early age to Liver- pool, where he became a merchant. He was sent by his firm from Liverpool to Bombay for a period, and, return- ing to England, he was married when 30 years of age. Late in 1874 ha re- turned to India, where he became the Sheriff of Bombay. He left India In 1882. He, leaves two children, a son, Louis, who represents him here, and a daughter, Helen Maitland, now in the East. It was while on his way to England to attend to some business for the Trinity Gold Placer Company of this State that he was suddenly taken {ll in New York. While the final disposal of his body had not been definitely planned, it is believed that it will be sent directly to Scotland. The Press Club of this city has telegraphed to New York an order for a suitable floral tribute. K ‘Maitiand was a clasical scholar and a brilliant writer, his contributions ap- pearing frequently in British periodi- cals. He came of a family that for generations had been prominent in the official and commereial life of Scotland. On terms of intimacy with the titled aristocracy of the United Kingdom, he preferred the democratic simplicity dear to Americans, and had planned to pass his declining years in the land of gold and sunshine. R e ity BREAKS THAOUGH of the day's outing was the struggle to get_a handhold or a foothold on the overcrowded cars, but In all save a few instances the tired crowds took the inconvenience of the poor service good naturedly. i g DENOUNCE THE MURDER OF PATERSON JUSTICE New Jersey Itallans Ask That Reward Be Offered for the Capture of the Assassins PATERSON, N. J., Feb. 10.—Several hundred persons, mostly Italian, met today to conelder the murder of Justice of the Peace Robert Cortez, who was killed by an infernal machine in his office Friday evening. Resolutions to be presented later, be- sides exprenlas regret at the death of Justice Cortez, will call upon the Federal, State and County governments to offer rewards the arrest and con- victign of the manufacturéers and send- ers of the bomb. Business men gen- erally will be asked to contribute toward a fund to be used as a reward which will bring about the arrest of the murderers. SHON BLOCKADE MISSOULA, Mont., Feb. 10.—The first train from Wallaes, Idaho, to Missoula for two weeks arrived today. The snow blockade on the'Couer d'Aléne branch of the Northern Pacific has been the worst ever experieniced. In many places the road was covered by forty feet of gnow, particularly in the Bitter Root Mountains. . The train which arrived today had four feet of snow on top of the cars. Although the road i now clear of snow, there is still grave danger to bridges d to the line in the moun- tains from snow-.slides, which may be expected when a thaw comes. Thé main line was cleared of snow some time since. % Thus far the opium poppy is found to thrive better in Vermont than in either Texas c;rm mlu—;tnlzc !oin‘e:-. States in whi Department of culture FOR THE PARKS From members of the Relief Corpora- tion it has been learned that the city will not receive the $174,000 it wants to repair the damage done by the refugees while camped in the parks. The members of the cerporation de- clare that the rellef money cannot be used to help the city or to repair any part of it. The refugees were citizens of San Francisco, and such they were entitled to the, aid furnished them by the city in glving them a camping place. The money subscribed for relief was not intended, it is pointed out, for paying the city for favors to its own people, but for re- lieving the suffering of the victims of the big fire. It gyas expected when the executive committee of the Rellef Corporation met Friday that representatives of the Park Commission would be present, as authorized by the commission, to ask for aid for the parks, but they did not appear. - The executive committee will meet Tuesday afternoon, and the matter may be officially settled at that time.

Burnett Succumbs to Stroke of Paralysis PIONEER OF STATE - Another of the veterans of the Mexi- can war has passed away. Wellington C. Burnett, who for five comsecutive terms was City Attorney of San Fran- cisco, .gnd at onme time a State Sena- tor, dled Saturday evening at the St. Luke Hospital. Few men were better known in this city than Burnett. As City Attorney from the years 1869 to 1878 much im- portant litigation was fought by him to a successful termination. He waged the fight for the possession of public square and school property against squatters and the suits were fought up and down the courts of the State. Burnett was born in Hampton, Conn., September 21, 1828, and was direct Qescendant of Roger Conant, who built the first house in Salem, Ma: At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Fifteenth Regtment, Regular United States Infantry, and fought with Scott through the Mexican war. He was a member of the storming party that re- duced the Castle of Chapultepec, and | before entering the City of Mexico he |was given a commission as second }uoduten:nr. He was then only 18 years old. After the war he studied law at Har- vard and was admitted to practice. | Then he came to California. He was | State Senator from Yuba and Sutter | Counties, and In 1859 came to this city, | where he practiced law up to about |a year ago. Two years ago he was | struck by a Polk street car and it is | believed that the injuries then received { were the Indirect cause of his death.| | About a week ago he suffered a stroke| |of paralysis from which he did not | rally. He was taken to St. Luke's Hos- | | pital, where he died. | He leaves a wife, three sons, Isaac,| Lester and Marius Burnett, and two | daughters, Olive and Gertgude Burnett. | | He was president of the Assoclated | | Veterans of the Mexican War for some years, and was also president of the| Yountville Home in Napa County.
