THERE are so many beautiful young women in California, in every class and of every type, that California beauty, in itself, has no claim to distinctiveness. Mrs. VYnez Shorb White takes this view of the situation, as does Mrs. ‘Henry Clarence Breeden, and they have observed feminine charms from thé inside of - society. - ‘This makes the problem all the more pleasing and complex in the Sunday.Call’s purpose to | find the most beautiful American woman within the borders of California. 22 2 i = i 3 - — - - —— - e Types Too Numerous for California to Claim Distinctive Style of Beauty Leaders of Society Discuss Call’s Contest t distant from the Sunday Call’s-thouglit- that -there was possible excuse for a what constitutes a California beat When this paper took the Chicago Tribune ing Miss Della Carson, a Ahna'-u stenographer; the most’ beautiful’ woman- in s a chailenge issued in good faith and based upon ‘the belief that the real American be hard to find within the borders of this State.

JOHN AND DARE WILL FIGHT HARD FOR THEIR- JOBS IN CUSTOM HOUSE Senator’ Pexjki;is' Demand for Resignations Is Ignored C.H. BLINN APPOINTED New Appraiser Said to Be On His Way From: Honolulu ‘ There will be two occupants for one chair this morning when Chauncey M. St John, who was recently asked to re- sign by United States Senator Perkins from his position of Deputy Customs Surveyor, meets,/at the Cystom-house, C. H. Blinn, who was appointed ves- terday to succeed St. John by Chief Customs Surveyor Woodward. Blinn, who is well known in Grand Army eir- cles, was approved of by Collector of Port Stratton and goes to. work today. St. John refuses to resign. Yesterday evening at 5 o'clock v\as the time limit given to St.- John by Senator Perkins in which to send in his resignation. But he did not comply. Instead. he sat on one side of a thin | partition in the Custom-house, while his superior, Woodward, who appointed him and who s now, it is said, anxious l.!o get his resignation, fidgeted on.the [other side and wondered whether St. | John had not.sent his resignation'-to ‘Washington, whence the request came. came. But St. John put his overcoat on’at about 5 o'clock without either sending his resignation to Washington or hand- ing it to Woodward. He demands an investigation. He and his friends claim that the charges of clerical in- competency have been trumped up for political reasons and they propose, they say, that Senator Perkins be made “to show his hand” and divulge the real reasons for.asking the resignation. “Woodward gave me the position,” sald St. John yesterday “without my: solici- tation. If he had wanted the place to give to a friend he had only to ask it and I would have resigned. But I do not propose to be put out In this sum- |mary fashion, with half-expressed charges of incompetency against me. I shall demand an investigation.” ‘Woodward maintains his right to dis- miss the deputy, and there the matter stands, with C. 'H. Blinn and St. John occupying today the one seat at the deputy surveyor's desk. It was reported last night that John T. Dare, whose resignation as Ap- praiser has also been demanded by Sen- | ator Perkins, will not go out without a | struggle and that he will contést the right of Appraiser Sharp of Honolulu | to the place. The fact that the latter |was to be given the prize was an- |nounced last evening and it was said | { that he will arrive on_the next steamer | from Honolulu. X A flock of telegrams fluttered into Washington vesterday from San Fran- cisco by hosts of friends of the two deposed Federal officials, asking for reasons from the Treasury Department | why they should be deposed and urging | their ability and integrity. It is also urged that President Roosevelt knew nothing of the deal in California poli- | tics and that when the facts were pre- | sented to him he would protest against | the removal, without cause, of St. John tand Dare. $ KT S e Ll ECCLESIASTICAL ORATOR | WILL DELIVER ADDRESS Rev.

Finely illustrated article in the March number of Sunset Magazine, * RAISES JURY APRAISEMENT Judge Hunt has been the victim for | the past two days of a misunderstand- ing which has led a number of prop- erty owners of the vicinity of Twenty- fourth street and New York avenue to censure him for an alleged decision tending to lower the value of prop- erty in that neighborhood. Judge Hunt was incorrectly reported as having given judgment for $500 in. a con- demnation suit brought by the West- | ern Pacific Railroad Company against Mre. Catherine Himmelman, after the company had offered to compromise for $1600. Tnstead of this, the jury returned a verdict awarding the $500 Jjudgment and Judge Hunt personally took the stand that this amount was too low and ordered a settlement to be made at a higher figure; The mat- ter is still pending out of court, but it is thought that the $1600 compro- mise will be accepted.

CLARK WISE & CO Cut Rate Music Dealers 1420 VAN NESS Avflzwa Between Bush a $6a Month |2 room at the Byron Hotel lies the dead |Skill of Rosenthal ‘Amazes Students of the Piano By James Crawford Rosenthal is a strenuous pianist. At the conclusion of his recital last even- | ing in Christian Science Hall his brow was beaded with perspiration as .acknowledged the thunderous tribute hurled at him by the audience.” Indeed |- the beads were \lslble ere he had con- .cluded his second number., and fre- ‘quently thereafter his pocket handker- chief was utilized as a mop. Rosenthal is an enigmatic artist as well. At one moment he is revealed as an intellectual musician, a thinker, an interpreter who respects the direc- tions" of.the composer.. The next mo- ment he is conveying impression that his distinction as a Vvirtuoso lies al- most whodly: in his technical accom- ‘plishments—and- they are marvelous..| ‘His is the power to create astonish- ment at uneommon digital feats and also his is the power to bring out the essential musical beauty of a _eom- position. © No wonder he has ' been dwbbed “The Little “lzard of = the Keyboard.” Yet he is not a showy pla)er. Even in his most strenuous mood he is-re- poseful in- comparison with . Pade- rewski playing a nocturne. He lacks | the .physical grace .of the Polish pianist, for his stature is short and his arms are long and his hands large. ‘He, could not posture prettily however hard he might try to do so. His opening ' number last night, Beethoven's - “Sonata Apassionata,” fairly brought out the enigmatical ‘ar- tistry I have alluded to, each of its contrasting movements being played in a way that made it difficult to conjec- ture how any of them could be better treated. The andante- seemed to be caressingly coaxed from the instrument and the robust finale came as a revela- tion of sustained power and speed and accuracy of tone. So it was with the | Chiopin Sonata, Op. 58, that followed; only the concluding movement, a largo, was plaved with even greater poetic velocity—it the paradox is permissible. Then he gave us a Chopin-Liszt chant polonaise (substituted in the . pro- gramme for a Chopin nocturne), a Chopin scherzo in B ‘flat minor and a Chopin valse arranged as a contrapun- tal study in thirds by . himseff, and which- lost. its charm of swing: by tle arrangement. . The Schubert-Liszt “Lindentree,” with its hymn-like theme, f was beautifully treated, and then came a number that fairly set the audience frantic by the brlllinnc) of its execu~ tion. It was (he pln\'ern own composition, | "Pnp‘fllons (butterflies). and nothing | like its interpretation was ever wit- | nessed here, because no master pianist | other than Rosenthal would attempt it | in public. His hands flew over the ! keys with a rapidity that blurred them in the vision as they faultlessly phrased the fluttery theme, and| { while he worked the audience stt’ aghast. The final number. a Immnre:qun\ ‘and fugue on waltz themes by Johann | 10NS Friday and Saturday Specials Shop of Fashi “Miss Muffi The iiFRAT ” Boys Sailor and Strauss, was also written by Rosen-| thal, and it, too, is immune from | ’ " < piracy, for the same reason that ap- | e Russ]an ts It seemed. as Breasted Model Two- a plies to his “Papillons.” if all the most Intricate technical dif- flculties ever concelved were in the | variations that chased and enmeshed | the themes of “Wine, Women and Song” and “Die Fliedermaus.” Tt was the crowning demonstration of Rosen- | thal's diabolical speed and perfect | mastery of the piano.
