THE CITY HALL ANGEL,
Sculptor Marion Wells Tired
of Mayor Sutro's Inde-
CiSiOn.
He Furnishes the Commission With
the Formula of the White
Metal.

Marion Wells yesterday received COM
munication from the City Hall Commits
sioners requesting him to state the formula
for the white metal of which the much de-
bated statue is to be cast according to his
contract with that body, upon the same
basis as that understood by all who COM
peted for that work. This formula was
handed in and is as follows: Zinc so, an
timony 10, tin 6, lead a; total 100. This
composition is far in excess of that used
for commercial purposes, such as the ex-
terror ornamentation of buildings, cornices,
etc.
"Why," said Mr.. Wells, "does not the
commission, instead of experimenting on
and assaying these metals, accept one
which has been proven by the centuries to
be capable of resisting all atmospheric eff.
fects and which every nation uses for pro-
auctions of this character. Now, if the
Commissioners who have advocated bronze
and whose intelligence and experience
have led them to this conclusion hesitate
it can only be from the desire to avoid adj
verse criticism, melted by unsuccessful
competitors.
This, to say the least, is unkind on the
part of those who have failed to obtain
this work, injurious to art and unbecoming
the spirit Of the true artist. Communities

ALAMEDA.

Civil Engineer Bannister is devoting
much of his time to the proposition of hav-
ing two highways for the use of railroads
established on either side of the encinal,
and will submit another communication
to the City Trustees. He first called the
boards attention to the desirability of hav-
ing such highways in the month of Feb
ruary, and the matter was referred to a
special committee, consisting of President
Forderer, City Attorney Taylor and the
Street Committee.
1.-THE building of transcontinental rail-
roads to this coast is inevitable" said Mr..
Bannister yesterday, land Alameda should
prepare herself for them. 1t has the nat
ural terminus, and it is none too soon to
make arrangements. There is ample room
on either side of the encinal to devote to
a railroad highway, and on such should
the roads be concentrated. Alameda has
no improved streets to spare for such a
purpose"
Violated an Ordinance.
Valentine Egenberger was found guilty
in the Recorders Court yesterday of a
violation of the ordinance requiring horses
to be hitched when left standing in the
public streets.

lions from foreign countries from those
who have never seen the statue, and who
are not identified with the social, political
or financial interests of this State or of
this country, have been received continu-
ously by the commission. Those letters
are, to say the least, impertinent, ungen-
tlemanly and uncalled for, and are written
in the pure spirit Of mischief.
81 have never in all my artistic expe-
rience in New York, in Philadelphia or in
San Francisco, encountered such despic-
able attempts to injure an individual who
has been successful competitor. Malice,
malice, malice" added Mr.. Wells with an
indignant flash of his blue, artistic eye.
"For ten weeks this discussion has been
dragging it's slow length. Every meeting
it crops up and is published by the news.
papers. am tired of it. 1t is a new thing
in my experience in art, extending over a
period of twenty-five years in California.
There is apparently no end to it. Mayor
Sutro is like the 1rishman's flea. When
you think you are putting your finger on
him he is not there.
"Why, he wanted the eagle on her girdle
loaded with tin instead of copper, which
would cost more than copper, and this I
consider an unmistakable proof of his
mania for white metal. 1t seems to me
that Mr. Sutro cannot be convinced as to
what metal should be used. The majority
of the commission desire to have the
statue cast in bronze, and this was in ac-
cord with Mr.. Sutro's wish when the metal
part of the work was first discussed. Now
he has changed to white metal. and Il
would not surprise me if next week he be.

BERKELEY.

The saloon keepers of Berkeley refuse to
pay the additional 800 asked of them by
Town Marshal Lloyd. They claim that
injustice is being done in attempting to
collect more than was required by law at
the time they took out their licenses. The
new charter, which went into effect last
month, provides that all such ordinances
must have to vote in order to carry
Hence the present board declares the
liquor license ordinance void and are
attempting to collect the other 500 from
the saloon men.
The majority of the dealers took out
500 law and they now absolutely refuse to
matter in court.
Music by the Blind Students.
The regular annual musicale by the stu

Dumb and Blind took place last evening
in the auditorium of the school. The en-

Among those who performed were Misses
Fallon, Young, Scolberg, Oxton, Smith,

paid it, and large new building was de-
cidei upon, the old building to be con-
verted into an annex.
The new building is now almost COM
pleted, and perhaps another month will
see its every room occupied with bright
pupils. Principal Richard D. Faulkner
has been very enthusiastic in arranging a
complete system of manual training, Were
it not for the fact that the necessity and
advantage of manual training are now
well recognized this would be said to be
Mr. Faulkner's hobby, for all his efforts by
day are devoted to it, and pleasant dreams
OF a score or two OF full-fedged young
mechanics graduating next year make his
nocturnal rests delightful to him.
He is so devoted to the school that. in
stead of rushing away as fast as possible
and enjoying the full length of his vaca-
ton, he will manage to put in his time
discussing all sorts of possible improve
ments in the numerous details, with Con-
tractor Olsen, and will only spend few
days at Auburn. Contractor Olsen has
entered into the spirit of progress fully as
much, and has ever been willing to receive
and ready to follow practical suggestions.
AS result of all this the Potrero is get
ting pretty good school, as judged by the
present, and one quite appropriate to the
manufacturing interests located there. A
CIlduCe VlSlpOr might mistake one OF the
classrooms for an amateur carpenters
shop. There are little work benches in it,
instead of the customary com bination
school desks, and tools galore, with famil-
lar planes, chisels, saws, hammers and
most everything woodworker rejoices in.
The public is fairly well familiarized
with the sloyd system of manual training
by this time, SO a description of it would
be an old story. OF course il must not be
supposed that this is distinctively school
of manual training to the exclusion of the
studies in books. 1t has the usual num-
Der OF grades up to the ninth in ali the APP
pointed studies, and the manual training
has simply been added, considering the
business character of the Potrero and the
practical nature of its residents.
The first inducement to the pupils to put
forth vigorous efforts to excel was offered
this year by Director Scott. Being presi-
dent of the Union Iron Works, he con-
ceived the idea of offering. as prize to the
boy who could draw the best position as
apprentice in the draughting department
of the works. Quite number of the boys
competed for the prize, and it was difficult
to tell to which of two it should be
awarded. These two boys were David
A. Dickie and Bernard Hedstrom. Finally
it was given to young Hedstrom, and as
young Dickle stood the highest generally
in the school, the Bridge medal was
awarded to him. The names of the twenty
four graduates were published yesterday.

the relation of niece and uncle to each other,
married on September 25, 1885. the plaintiff
being only Is years old. an Italian and not
aware that the marriage was void. In 1893
she instituted proceedings for divorce for cru,

rage was annulled on the ground of the rela-
tionship of the parties In the meantime they
had accumulated property valued at $12 900,
including house at 81 Lapidge street, which
Paul Arata occupied with his children after
the annulment of the marriage. The plaintiff
asks for $1,000 for rent of the house and $500
damages for her labor, the use of premises and
the injury to her good name prior to the an

JORDAN's ANSWER.
He Denies That His Utterances Injured
Haskins as Claimed.

James G. Jordan has filed an answer
denying the allegation of A. Haskins that
certain expressions complained of are
scandalous. The expressions include:
Did you know that Haskins was an en-
bezzler?"
why, he is; he was arrested at San
Diego and tried by jury, and only escaped
because the jury disagreed. The jury stood
eight for conviction and four for acquittal.'
He was arrested for stealing tools.''
"Haskins is a thief and l shall put him
where he belongs"
"There are places in the State where
Haskins dares not go to, for the people
would kill him if he went there"
Jordan says all the said expressions are
true, denies that they were uttered on De-
cember 26, 1894. in the hearing of C. c.
and others, or that Haskins was injured
by them in the sum of $4,000 or any other
sum.
