He left the matter at this point in the hands of his son-in-law, Dr. G. T. Trommald. The nobleman did not pay back the deposlit because, he said, he was tem- porarily embarrassed, but at the re- amount, due in thirty days. 10 the note expired unpaid and a re- quest was sent to De Albergaria to have the plcture in Trommald's office at a certaln hour of the day to avoid legal proceedings. Trommald now has the picture and the nobleman is think- ing seriously of removing to Pasadena, bitterly complaining about the lack of appreciation gf true art shown in Port- land HE BLAMES LOCAL DEALERS He sald that when he asked Poulsen to give him the names of the artists who had declared the cow and the cornfleld spurious the millionaire re- fused to do so, but he was convinced that tha painting was adverfely criti- cised by a well-known San Francisco art firm which wanted -to buy it. “1 @idn’t want the painting to go to them,” he explained, “because I knew they would run it down so as to dis- courage Mr. Poulsen from taking it. He was told that the painting was not good and that he had better have noth- ing to do with it.” De Albergaria created a profound impression in the northern city when he first established himself there.

Weill did not really reach the seventy- year milestone before today, but his employes would not let the week pass without some demonstration of thair affection for him. A number of Welll's friends called during the day to offer fragrant with rare flowers. When the owner of the White House came to his daily work at 8 o'clock in the morning, as his custom has been | all these years, he found all the 300 employes of the house lined up to meet him with a rousing cheer. He thanked | them, saying how much he hdd always appreciated their affection, and that it was even more preclous to him this year than ever before. He did not like the word employe; they were cowork- ers, and after this they were to be co- workers in bullding up the new San Franclsco. Mr. Fairweather, the oldest man {n the house, who has been with it for their congratulations, and the office was | PROSPECTS FOR ISLAIS HARDOR PRLJECT BRIGHT Senate Committees Favor Issuance of $1,000,000 in Bonds WATER GAINS VALUE Out Lands That Have 10wners Want to Dredge | ! Been Filled In ] At a joint meeting of the finance committee and the committee on com- merce and navigation of the upper House, called by Senator Welsh in Sac- | ramento Friday night, the bill submit- | ting to a vote of the people the propos | sitfon to {ssue $1.000,000 of bonds for the purchase of land in Islals Creelt basin to provide a locked harbor was unanimously indorsed. At a caucus of San Francldeo’s dele- gations in both branches of the Legis- lature the project was given unqual fled support and the local advoeates of the measure declare themselves en- tirely satisfied with the progress being made. This success done by the committes of allied com- mercial bodies of the ecity, which re- { cently visited ramento terest of the bill T. P. Andrews of the Potréro Asso- ciation, which organization started tha Islais Creek movement, sald last night that he and his assoclates, although they believed absolutely in the merits of the proposition, had not expected such favorable results in so short a time. Promotion bodies and business associations of all kinds, including the Labor Council, have adopted resolutions indorsing the bond issue and at the election two years hence it is expected that the people generally will favor it with their votes. The plan is to condemn and purch: sixty-four blocks bounded by Islal Creck on the north, by the India Basin {on the south, by First avenue on the west and the bay on the east. This nificent system of docks and wharves | as fast as the money for the work could be procured. It would necessi- tate the employment of thousands of workmen. The rallroads have ap- peared to be favorable to the project and have promised to run their tracks to the basin, so that cars could be loaded and unloaded at the sides of ships. Another proposition which has been @iscussed In connection with the land- locked harbor is the bullding of an ele- vated railroad from North Beach to Central avenue, along the water front, for the relief of trafiic. It i{s proposed that the State build this road, but if it cannot & group of Eastern, Los An- geles and local capltalists is ready to enap up the proposition. It is said that Henry Huntington is one of the men who would be glad of the opportunity to spend his money on such a road. Harbor improvement had been recog- nized as a crying need for some years, sald Andrews. When Thomas Mages, chairman of the committee which rep- resented the allied commercial bodies at Sacramento, discussed the matter with the Governor recently he ex- plained that as the San Francisco rep- resentatiye of Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderblit he would like to see all the land which had been fliled in by their father at great expense dredged out | again and used for docks and wharves. {11e sald that he could make more money for his clients in a month with the water on this land than the rent from | the filled-in land would amount to in & | year. George Senter, the Mission million- | aire, also is a firm believer in increased | harbor facllities. He remarked recently ing in their property on the water front that they were “spoiling good water with mighty poor dirt.” A A A A A AP AN NN AN forty-one yedrs, then stepped forward and presented Weill with a beautiful silver smoking set, bearing the inscrip- tion, “From the employes of the White House, 1837-1907, to Raphael Welll Clarum et venerabile nomen.".
