Mr.. George Gibbs brings home some very
substantial results to show for his stay at
Ocean City. Among the studies which he
made there is a scene OF the mainland, a
water color, painted on a hazy day, on
which the sun alternately showed .ts face
and hid behind the clouds. The effect of
light is particularly well managed in
pastel which Mr. Gibbs made of sunset
in color. and an added element of pic
turesqueness is given by the old OK cart
numbering along the beach in the fore
ground. A pastel of the surf by moonlight
is another one Of the good things which he
made. In the September number of the

An accident which came near having
serious consequences for John l.. Stoddard
was one of the experiences which will
make memorable his late trip to the Vel
lowstone National Park. A friend who
was driving him about made a mis:ak in
the road, and came to place where a
fording of the river was necessary. The
attempt was unsuccessful, and horses and
carriage were soon in such deep water
that it was only by climbing quickly on
top of the buggy that Mr.. Stoddard and
his companion were able to keep out of the
water above their waists. While I'm this
perious position the horses were plunging
wildly, I'm fear of drowning, and must soon
nave overturned the vehicle and precipi-
tated the passengers into the river. For
tunately the driver of the stage which
was following, had seen their peril. He
hastened to the spot, and, jumping in. soon
reached the horses and cut the traces en-
abling them to swim to safety. Mr. Stod-
dard then divested himself of his outer
garments and managed to swim ashore
After nearly an hours exposure he was
reached and cared for by friends in the
stage. Had the current in the stream been
as rapid as in places above and below Mr..
Stoddard would hardly have escaped drown

Five Hundred Chinese Getting
Ready to Vote Here in
the Fall.
STUDYING THE CONSTITUTION.
The United States Supreme Court May
Intervene by Overruing Judge
Morrow's Decision.

There is activity among the native sons
of Chinatown. About 500 of them are pre-
pairing to vote at the coming election. and
vote they will unless the United States
Supreme Court hands down al opinion
setting aside the ruling of Judge Morrow.
And this latter contingency is not at all
improbable. 1t is rathef expected-hoped
for. at any rate. Judge Morrow merely
decided, in accordance with the precedent
established by Judge Field, that native
born Chinese was defacto citizen. This
was in the case of Quan Won-merely a
test case. The briefs have gone to the
Supreme Court of the United States. A
decision is hoped for this spring.
But in the meantime, the local Mongo-
lian native sons of Cakfornia--or at least
members of the Native Sons organization
In Chinatown-are preparing to register as
voters. They have learned that they must
be able to read the constitution in order to
get their names on the Great Register, and
now the little brown men in Chinatown
are burning the midnight oil over copies
of the constitution. The constitutional
amendment which makes it obligatory
upon the voter just coming OF age to be
able to read and write was ratified at the
election in 1894 and reads as follows
And no person who shall not be able to read
the constitution in the English language and
write his name shall ever exercise the privi-
1ege of an elector in this State; provided that
the provision of this amendment relative to an
educational qualification shall not apply to
any person p -evented by physical disability
from cOmpl Jing with its requirements, nor to
any person who now has the right to vote, MOI
to any person who shall be 60 years OF age and
upward at the time this amendment will take
effect.
These SOC would-be voters in Chinatown
may or may not be native Anne ricaDs.
The trouble is there is no way of telling.
They may have been born in this coun.
try, and they may not have been. There
is reason to believe great many OF them
were not.
In the past q great many young Chinese
have been admitted to this port as native
sons. Their certificate of landing is, o1
course, prima facie evidence that they are
entitled to places on the Great Register.
There are, again, some physicians who
have been known to give certificates Of
birth to full-grown Chinese. There are
such physicians in the City mot many OF
them, 1t is true, but one or two could
do and doubtless have done great deal oi
mischief in this way.
Indeed, it is not esser tial that a Chinese
should have been born in America in or
der to pose as q native son and great
many OF the 500 who will vote at the COM
ing election-unless the United States
Supreme Courts decides that the son of 8

GIVEN NOTICE TO LEAVE,
Health Authorities After the
Warren & Malley Hog
Ranch.
The Porkers at the Foot of Laguna
Street Will Not Be Tolerated
Any Longer.

THE Calls expose of the existence of a
hog ranch at the foot of Laguna street.
within the limits which the regulations
of the Board of Supervisors say no
porkers shall be kept, has caused the
health authorities to investigate the mat
ter and take steps to have the evil reme-
died at once.
The Health Inspector in charge of the
district was not aware that the firm of
Warren & Malley had maintained hog
establishment within the limits of his
domain, and hurried to the place yester-
day to examine its condition ana see what
could be done.
He found the pens as described in THE
CALL and eighteen fat porkers waiting for
their daily feed of swilI.
Without further delay q notice was
served on the firm warning them to remove
their hogs at once.
If this notice is complied with nothing
further will be done in the matter. but in
case the firm does not heed the warning
within the time usually allowed the men,
bers will be arrested and charged with
violating the regulations of the board.
Market Inspector Rivers also visited the
place to ascertain whether any slaughter
ing was going on within the prescribed
limits. He found q drove of hogs. some of
them weighing 300 to 400 pounds, but dis
covered nothing to indicate that any had
been killed. At the same time he be-
lieved that other hogs had been slaugh-
tered to supply the big contractors camp
with meat. A close watch will be kept on
the place until the contractors comply
with the notice served by the health In
spector.

large cities which are spending large sums
of money are compelled to take up most of
the plants in winter time and replant them
in summer. as it were, almost compelled
to repeat the original cost OF the work,
San Francisco has no such requirement.
Shrubbery will grow the year around: the
climate is favorable to them.
'San Francisco ought to be made typical
of the State. We spend thousands and
thou sands of dollars advertising Califor-
nia-its beautiful climate, its picturesque
ness-in q word, we aim to make it the
one hoped-for place of residence for all.
THE cost of making practical adver-
tisement of it-of making the City attrac-
tive with drives and bonlevards-is almost
nominal. In the Van Ness avenue propo-
sition the loan would cost about 13 cents
per foot, seed about 5 cents, trees 81 each;
five per 100 feet would be cents addi-
tional. One group of shrubs, at % cents
each, would make II cents more per 100
feet; seeding cents per foot-a total Cost
of $35 per 100 feet of q feet wide: If paid
for by each side of the street the cost to
each owner would be about $17 per 100
feet. To this must be added the cost of
excavating three feet
. at is not quite certain as to whether the
City funds are such that these improve
ments can be ordered by the Supervisors.
Should that be the case, it will then fall
upon Tie OWHeTS uiTcCl IL Is W Oc uOpcu, !,
however. that the City will find some
means of meeting the proposition. If the
present laws do not permit of it, such
changes could be effected as will give them
that power. An improvement of this
character improves the City as whole.
1t is not an individual improvement.
while progressive property owners are
willing, as rule, to bear their portion of
such expenses, yet there are always just
enough in district opposed to paying out
dollar to defeat general movement.
The City government provides for the
park. The same fund should be made to
provide for everything that pertains to the
park in the way of park ways. which are
of as much greater general benefit to the
people themselves. for the number who
have need of park way in the City will
by far exceed the thousands who can
afford the time and expense to make long
journeys out to the park. The daily asso-
ciatlon and living amid beautiful sur
roundings are of more benefit TO one than
the occasional visiting of beautiful spot.
1.-THE City's future in this direction will
depend largely upon the activity ard
action of the present board. Their actions
thus far promise much. 1t is to be hoped
the one radical effort necessary to start
the ball thoroughly on the way will now

EFFORTS OF THE MERCHANTS
A Memorial to the Governor and Uni.
versity Board Now in Course
of Preparation.

A determined effort is being made to
secure the establishment of the Wilmerd-
ing School of Industrial Arts on this side
OF the bay. The Merchants Association
in particular is making strong fight to
this end. Yesterday afternoon special
subcommittee met In ]. d. Phelan's office
for tine purpose of preparing a memorial
on the matter to the Governor and Uni
versity Regents. There were present be-
sides Mr.. Phelan, who represented the San
Francisco Art Association, Hugo D. Kyle
of the Merchants Association, Alfred
Bouvier Of the State Development Com
mittee, and ]. Richard Freud of the Mer-
chants Association, who acted as secre-
tary.
Mr.. Phelan and Mr.. Kyle presented
drafts of the proposed memorial, both of
which seemed to express the sense of the
association on the matter at issue. Mr..
Phelan was requested to use both drafts
in preparing the memorial, which will be
forwarded to the Governor and Board of
Regents as soon as ready.

Mr.. Freud yesterday, ''eeven live in this

1t is easy to see that any recommendation
by the Governor may aid our project ma
terially. Mr.. WiImerding's will provides
| for the establishment and maintenance of
school of industrial arts, wherein poor
boys shall be practically taught how to
make an honest living by the exercise of
certain trades; but unhappily the benevo-
| lent testator neglected to say where he
wished the school to be placed. But we
have every reason to suppose that Mr..
/ Wilmerding had the poor boys of San Fran
cisco in his nina while making the bequest.
ut is urged by those who oppose the
establishment of the school ip San Fran
cisco that we have already the Lick and
Cogswell schools, and need no other. But
| these two schools, both excellent in tneir
way, are not workshops, as the Wilmer
ding school will be, nor have they sufficient
accommodations, since they are con-
tlnually forced to deny admission to
would-be students owing to their over
crowded condition. The Wilmerding
school will not conflict with either. In.
deed, 1T is strongly desired that it nav

president of the Lick School, is strongly i'm

important witness in the case, would be

PARK FUND NOT AVAILABLE.
Expense to Property.0wners Will Not

Hundred Feet.

The first actual step in the matter OF
converting Van Ness avenue into boule-
ward has been effected by the Street Com
mittee reporting favorably on the propo-
sition.
Their action at this time means a great
saving, since that portion of the avenue
which is biturninized is at present in very
excellent condition and will so remain
for many years, provided no heavy haul
ing is INDUCED in. Should general traffic
be permitted, however, it would not be
long before the avenue would be full of
ruts.
1t is common custom for heavy teams
coming down hills to drop brick or a
log in front of the wheel to check the
speed. and thus rip up foot or more OF
the pavement. The hauling of heavy
cannon has been especially destructive.
Fortunately the Supervisors have taken
this matter IN hand in time, and the road
bed of Van Ness avenue will be protected
before lasting damage is done.
A petition was filed Monday, signed by
the property-owner in the six blocks
living north of Union street, having for its
purpose the completion of the plans pro-
posed by the Van Ness Avenue Improve
ment Club, emitting strip twenty-one feet
wide from the center, decorating 1t with
trees and shrubbery and making shaded
walks and convenient seats.
In word, what is wanted is parkway
where one may find recreation without
taking a long journey to the park for that
purpose, and after all, while Golden Gate
Park is undeniably beautiful and serves a
great purpose the parks in the center OF
our City, where the people may have
breathing space, are patronized far more
thoroughly and are OF greater practical
benefit to the masses than a recreation
ground at long range, accessible only
under expense and requiring long trip.
AS now outlined it Is intended tina. six
