Boatman Henry Peterson and

Trial Trip of the Steamer Adams-Ar-
rival of Three Deep. Water
Ships.

The bright, sunny day and warm, pleas
ant weather drew many people down on
the water front yesterday, and conse-
quently the wharves were crowded with
visitors.
The sociable and courteous officers. of
the Italian cruiser Cristoforo Colon bo
again invited the public to inspect their
vessel, and several tugs gayly flying the
tri-color of Italy carried passengers be-
tween the ship and the shore. Henry Pc
terson, with his launch Amy, by bright
stroke of policy, provided music for the
patrons of his craft, and caught the greater
part of the passengers vino went out to
the Colombo. His landing place was

The music was not quite Paderewskian,
but the artists stuck faithfully to Peterson
and filled the little Amy till her gunwales
were level with the water. A rival boat

cruiser was in lred thereby. is going to

FELL OFF THEIR BIKES,
Two Riders Meet With Serious
Accidents Near the
1ngleside.
The Victims Are Dr.. J. T. Rowand,
Dentist, and Mrs. Sarah Bowman,
DresSmaker.

The Ingleside was the scene OF two BIZ
cycle accidents Yesterday. one of the in
jured being a lady and the other a men,
ber of the sterner sex.
DR.. ]. T. Rowand, dentist, was riding
with friend, and when opposite the dairy
farm near the House of Correction, his BIZ
cycle struck against an obstruction in the
road and he fell heavily to the ground.
He struck on his face and right side, and
when his friend jumped off his machine
and ran to him he was unconscious.
Blood was pouring from wound over the
right eye and another on his nose.
Help was procured, and the unconscious
dentist was carried into the residence on
the dairy farm and the ambulance was
summoned. DIR. Rhine accompanied the
mbulance and dressed the wounds. He
was under the impression that the skull
might have been fractured. There was a
large lump on the forehead just over the
right eye. DR.. Breyfogle; the family ply
sician, was also summoned and he took
charge OF the case. IL was thought ad-
visable to keep the patient at the dairy
farm until he recovered from the shock to
his system.
While the ambulance was there DR..
Rhine was notified that lady had fallen
| from her bicycle little further east, and
it was driven there. The lady was Mrs.
Sarah Bowman, a dressmaker, living at
324 Brannan street She and party of
! friends started out to ride through the
| Ingleside to the ocean beach. Her bicycle
| got stuck suddenly in some wet sand and
she was thrown Off She fell on her left
| size, and the shock made her uncon sclous
! for a few moments.
| She was taken in the ambulance to the
Receiving Hospital, where Drs. We'll, Fitz-
! gibbon and Bunnell attended to her. She
was unable to lift her left leg, and the
doctors were afraid that one Of the bones
and elbow were also badly confused. She
was detained in the hospital until another
examination can be made after the swelling
was reduced. She declared that she would
never ride bicycle again.

Artists Produce Wonderful
Changes at the Hopkins

STANTON Is CHIEF MAGICIAN.
Artistic and Bizarre Decorative Eff

the Maskers.

Had Artist John Stanton lived in the
time OF Aladdin that LUCKY young magician
would not have needed his lamp to secure
beautiful interior decorations for his pal
ace. He might have turned Stanton loose
in room with a miscellaneous assortment
of tacks, wire mesh fencing material, old
clothes and tub of water thickened with
plaster of paris, and 10, bare walls would
be transfigured into immense, elaborately
carved panels. Some soft colored paint
and lot of gilt powder, and gorgeous
trappings would result.
That is what was being done at the Hop

piece OF wire netting was bent and tackled
on the wall. A piece of cloth wet in pias-

The Outdoor Order of Public Ownership
has issued new circular setting forth
socialistic principles, the principles of
which are to secure for the people popular
control of the Government and of public
industries, public ownership of all lands
and of all railroads. The circular in one
clause sets forth:

political state is advanced into an industrial

but we cannot have it without public owner

for union is therefore this principle of public
ownership. 1t is the one potent and com pre-.
hensive combining thought.

ter of paris is fastened over it. There is q
smearing of gold paint, and-presto-a
massive gilt vase of classic form, daintily
poised, stands out from the wall in strong
relief.
The scene at the institute was a stirring
one. Stanton and half dozen art stu
donts dressed in dirty loose blouses and
old clothes were transforming the recep-
tion hall into a room of wonderful artistic
beauty and novelty. Queer effects in
lighting and original and bizarre decora-
tive ideas have been given full sway. so
that the rooms for the Mardi Gras will
present an artistic appearance.
There were hve young men with tangled
locks and bronze bedaubed faces assisting
Mr.. Stanton. They were William Huba-
eek, Ralph Robinson, Charley Burnett,
Mr.. Aitken ana M. Urunuela. All are art
students.
One of the most striking features of the
decoration are the hangings of glorious
oriental rugs. This work was being super
intended personally by Hadji Ephraim
Benguiat who also furnished the rugs,
most Of which are of rare historical inter
est. Mr.. Benguiat is well known among
the artists for his striking work, and five
years ago did the decorating OF the rooms
for the great artists ball in Boston.
There are to. be many distinguished
guests at the ball. His Higness the Duke
OF Abruzzi, A. Bertolini, commander of
the Christoforo Colombo, and officers, and
General Forsyth and his staff are to be
present in full uniform, Paderewski Will
also attend. Besides this there have been
answers to the invitations from over two
hundred and fifty of society's 400.
Sir Henry Heyman, who is to lead the
orchestra, promises that the maskers will
have music such as they never danced to
before. Mr.. Martin merely beams and
says: '.lt will be beyond every ones ex-
pectations."
