Senator Gorman's Letter Regarding
the Patent Office Gazette Printing.
The right of the Commissioner OF Patents
to award the contract for the production Of
the Official Gazette without reference to
the Government Printing Office was dis
cussed yesterday by the lawyers OF the con-
tractors who bid for the work before Judge
Hail, the Assistant Attorney General for
th eInterior Department.
A mild sensation was caused when Judge
Hall read a letter from Senator German,
in which he stated that in his recent letters
to the commissioner he had not intended to
have it understood that he was acting in
his capacity as chairman of the joint COM
mittee on printing.
The letters Were so signed, but this had
been done through mistake, made by
clerk in 'nding him some papers and he
endorsed the typewriter copy without
noticing the fact

FIRE IN CAMP LAWL0R,
An Oakland Party Startled at
Midnight by the Dreaded
Cry.
Lady Organizes a Volunteer Brig
ade and Extlnguishes the
Flames.

Early Thursday morning fashionable
Oakland party camped on Frank Pixley's
grounds at Larkspur were awakened by
the cry of fire. The party consisted of
Mrs. T. L. Brown, Miss Alice Piersol, DIR.
Clayton Piersol, Miss Florence Mcdonald,
Harry w. Merritt, Miss V. NJ. Brown, Miss
Jessie White, L. E. Lawlor and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarke.
The previous evening the campers had
given a carnival, concluding with a camp
fire. All the neighboring campers were
invited, and the merry lawmakers broke
up about A. NJ. An hour later the whole
camp vas aroused by the cry Of "6re."
The alarm was given by Harry Merritt,
whose tent was discovered to be one mass
of flames. AS other tents were in close
proximity to the one on fire, and as the
overhanging branches and brush were dry
as finder the awakened sleepers at once
saw that they were facing a real danger.
The ladies were the first to take action, and
under the leadership of Mrs. Clarke, they
battled braveiy with the blazing tent.
The fire was just about under control
when it was seen that Mr.. Lawlor's tent
was also abiaze. The ladies turned their
attention to the Lawlor tent as the Merritt
canvas was past nope. Inc implements
for extinguishing fire were unique, con-
sisting of dishpans, wash basins, lemon
ade pitchers, an icecrsam freezer and
garden-hose.
Barely had the ladies commenced to at
tack the second fire when an awakened
apparition appeared at the tent door, and
a moment later the volunteer fire brigade
had disappeared into the surrounding
darkness. By this time the men were
awake, and they finished the work Mrs.
Clarke's department had so well begun.
The fire originated with a Chinese Ian
tern and totally destroyed the Merritt tent
and did considerable damage to Mr.. Law
lor's. All the party returned home yes
terday ana the ladies are taking unto
themselves lots of glory for their heroic
work as the Larkspur Women Volunteer
Fire Brigade. They declare that fire has
no terror for them hereafter, but little is
said about the apparition.

cal of the scenery in the neighborhood OF
their camp and OF that part of the county.
One OF these sketches, reproduced here
with, is of scene on Sweetwater Creek,
almost opposite the camp. 1t is rich in
coloring, accurate in its execution and as
full of natural suggestiveness as the creek
which ripples at the base OF the angular
powders is of trout.
Nearly all the members of the party were
attired in bloomers and provided with high
topped rubber wading boots. Mrs.
Loosley's costume was complete in this re-
spect. With several of her sketches she
found it necessary to take up her point of
view in the middle of the creek, and she
spent several hours at time seated on a
rock with her feet and lower limbs Great
ing swirl in the current of the brooklet.
Though the surroundings were pregnant
with artistic inspirations as well as that
OF the poetic, the hunters instinct was
equally present, and she frequently
dropped the brush and mahlstick to pick
up her rife and have try at some inquisi-
tive gray squirrel who disturbed the syl-
van solitudes with his bark, or attracted
her attention by the dislodging of an acorn
or pepperwood-nut. But the chattering
squirrel was not the only one to suffer
from her craftsmanship. She cut off the
head of vicious rattesnake with a bullet
from her rife one afternoon, and brought
the skin, head and rattles home to add to
the collection of curios from all parts of
the civilized and barbaric globe.
sit cannot be successfully contradicted, :"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-11

she said, sthat if a woman wishes to enjoy
camp life to the fullest capacity she must
wear boomers, and take along a pair of
high-topped rubber boots. We had a de-
lightful seven-roomed cabin, free from OBJ
servation and intrusion, two miles up in
the hills and mountains from Skaggs
Springs, and we spent as pleasant a six
weeks as we had ever experienced in our
lives. The scenery is diversified and in
spring; hunting and fishing are all that
could be desired, and the man or woman
who could not drink his or her full of
pleasure from the natural delights of the
beautiful environment must be devoid of
all feeling, sentiment or sympathy. On,
but it was charming, and | feel that the
odor of the woods clings about me yet"
She spoke truly. In the sketches as we'll
as in the freshness of her sympathy, still
fingered the perfume of the pines, the
music of the matin bird songs and of the
brooklets, and that Undesirable harmony
lof sound. scent and CLINT which nature
imparts alone to her sylvan solitudes. She
has the material for several pictures, and
will begin work on them as soon as she has
reeuperated from the natural fatigue OF
her outing.
Mrs. Loosley's first picture exhibited in
the Paris salon was entitled Eau Bord de
pEau'-"By the Water" Her professional
name is Susan Sroufe. Nearly all her
paintings are exhibited in New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago. Her class here is large,
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-08-11

which she was member and the moving
spirit artistically, if not in all other re-
spects, was located on Sweetwater Creek,
two miles north of Skaggs Springs. There
were FIVE in the party-Mrs. w. q. Tiffany
and daughter Zelda, III. G. Merrill, Ralph
and Miss Gladys Merrill and Miss Hag-
gard.
Mrs. Loosely always combines bust
ness with pleasure on these annual
outings of hers-her easel, palette and box
of paints are the companions OF boomers,
rubber boats and a complete spoTtsman's
outfit. When she goes out to sketch she
carries her shotgun or rifle with her, and
when she seeks the chattering gray
squirrel deer or silver-sided trout, the
easel and artists paraphernalia go with
her also. AS a result, she brings back as
many trophies of the chase as she does
sketches; and her artists notes are often
illustrative of scenes of her Diana-like ex-
periences with rifle. rod and shotgun. 1t
may be said that on these occasions she
thinks no more of drawing bead on bear,
rattlesnake or gray squirrel than she does
of drawing Preferential outlines of roman
tic sylvan glades, frewning crags and
wild enchanting LANDSCAPES.
She brought several sketches home typi-
