 It is marvellous how one forgets that he is viewing the work of man and i'm agines he Is looking at the valley itself and it's select inhabitants as he studies the details of the work. The painting Is of madder water colors, on a 7x10 parchment, and the observer wonders as he gazes upon the magical blending of mountain grandeur and great horses at rest how so much of the sublime and beautiful ever became woven into such a web of glory in so small a space as the masterpiece occupies.
 Coming to the details of the painting it is seen that no strong feature has been omitted. Far to the left are stacks of the first crop of alfalfa, some what sunburned and mellowed by age. The second crop is cut, and there are suggestions of activity around 1t. There are ranch wagons, emigrant wagons and an old prairie schooner" in the distance, the great valley stretching over peaceful areas on and on to the foothills The third crop of alfalfa IS growing and the horses have been turn ed into the field to nip it off. It Is noon. Their stomachs are full and they have come down to the valley to drink from the crystal stream that has rippled from the whitecapped mountains in the distance. Many of them are stand

"A Select Gathering" by J. R. Hod- son, is a painting of nineteen famous race horses, grouped so true to life in a picturesque mountain valley that the entire effect is surprisingly natural, one of those happy results of inspira- be forgotten.
 Standing in and about a purling stream made by the melting snOWs of a distant mountain peak, with an old adobe house and beautiful fields of alfalfa in the background, the impress sion is irresistible that the artist has performed nothing less than a feat of magic He has caught nature in a happy mood, and torn leaf from her great book of life. Aside from the marvellous achievement of painting the horses so true to nature that their owners could pick them out if they chanced to stroll past their resting place, the painting is rich with the sug- gestions that go with all high art-the poetic splendors of soft landscapes, the glories of melting color, and the per feet vision of halcyon afternoon in one of the most picturesque retreats on the continent. In the distance the grand old mountains are clothed in marvellous blendings of blue and pur- ple. Over wonder are shadows of clouds. while here and there are such tints and tones of sunlight as to dispel

and discussing municipal matters the Grand Jury adjourned for the day.
 Judge Charles A. Low was seen yes terday afternoon regarding his connec- tion with Olsen's case and said:
 ''The Call has been nisinformed about me and the action of the Grand Jury, and the article published to the effect that I was being investigated by the Grand Jury in connection with the alleged irregularities of MT. Olsen, the stenographer of my court, was without foundation in fact. At my request l was allowed to appear before the Grand Jury this afternoon and every man on the jury declared that there was abso- lutely no truth in the statement that such a report had emanated from any member of that body. I told them that I was ready at all times to have the affairs of my court examined into, and their committee will always be welcome to do so.
 ''So far as MT. Olsen is concerned, his position has been declared vacant, as I understand the Grand Jury has filed two indictments against him. l refrained from removing him until now, believing it only just that he should not be removed until such action had been taken"
 In the evidence before the Grand Jury Judge Low testified that he re- lied upon Olsen's oath in passing bills presented to him. and when the matters came before him properly accredited and sworn to he had no other supposi- tion than that they were correct, and had no reason for questioning their ac- curacy.

VACANCIES IN THE
 BOARD OF REGENTS
Governor Budd Will Probably Reappoint J. West Mar
 tin of Oakland.
A New Man May Be Named to Sue. ceed George T. Marye of
 This City.

The duty will soon devolve upon Cover nor Budd of appointing two Regents of the State University, to fill vacancies caused by the expiration of the terms of office of J. West Martin of Oakland and George T. Marye Jr. of San Francisco. The in formation Is obtained from what is con- sidered trustworthy source that MT. Martin will be reappointed. His first ap- pointment as Regent was made by Cover nor Haight in 1871, and he has served con- tinuousy ever since. He was reappointed by Governors Perkins and Waterman, and will, 1t Is said, be reappointed by Governor Budd.
 Mr. Martin was a delegate to the State convention which gave H. H. Haight his first nomination for Governor. He also served in the convention which renomi- mated Governor Haight, and had the honor of presenting the Governors name to the convention. MT. Martin also served as a delegate to the constitutional conven- ton of 1878, and took deep interest in framing the article of the constitution which declares the university to be a public trust.
 The impression has obtained that Mir Marye will not be reappointed. Diligent inquiry fails to elicit the name of his successor.

BUSH STREET MAY
 BE A BOULEVARD
The Street Committee Reports in Favor of the
 Scheme.
The Grade of the Electric Road Rails on Harrison Street May Be
 Changed.

The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors, by unanimous vote taken yesterday afternoon, decided to recom- mend the passage of a resolution declar- ing Bush street, between Kearny and De- v1sadero, a boulevard This action came somewhat as a surprise, as 1t was sup posed that the opposition of certain prop erty-owners would delay action on the measure for some time to come
 During the past few weeks property owners have appeared before the com ynittee on number of occasions and have voiced their opposition to the plan of making Bush street a boulevard The main opposition was based upon the as sertion that If the street were kept open an electric road might eventually ex- tend throughout its full length
 Supervisor Sheehan took the initiative in advocating the proposition and stated that as long as numerous property-own- CTS desired the boulevard 1t should be declared by the board The decision to report the matter favorably followed
 The San Francisco and San Mateo Electric Railroad Company addressed the committee regarding the cost of reducing the grade of its tracks on Harrison street The company expresses its willingness to comply with the wishes of the Superyis- ors in spite of the fact that its rails are now on the official grade, but wishes time to consider the cost.

ELEVATOR ACCIDENT.
The San Francisco Tool Company Not Responsible For
 Damages.

The Supreme Court in a decision hand ed down yesterday held that maker oi elevators cannot be held responsible for accidents where the plans are not pre- pared by him.
 The case was that of H. H. Bancroft against the San Francisco Tool Company There was an accident in the Bancroft elevator and several persons were fn- jured For these injuries Bancroft had to pay damages, and he sought to ob- tain redress by an action against the company making the elevator. In the lower court he was non-Su1ted ana rom an order denying new trial he ap- pealed The facts showed that Bancroft ordered an elevator with 15-inch drum when competent engineers and the tool company held that this was too small one of 30 inches being the proper thing for the purposes intended.
 The elevator was constructed accord ing to the plans and specifications pre- pared by Bancroft, and an accident ,was; the result. The Supreme Court decided that the company was not responsible for and damages resulting from an ac- cident in an elevator, the plans of which were not of its preparation.

For long tune the movement hung fire and It was not until the San Francisco Farmers Club took hold of the helm that the matter assumed any definite shape: The convention of the producers was the re- suit, and out of this grew the perma- nent committee which now has the work in hand.
 The work has been divided so that the advance will be made under three heads. SuDcommitteeS will confer with the liar DOT commissioners as to securing ia vorabie site on the city front, and with the commission merchants and the trans portaton companies looking to favorable rates on transportation of freight.
 These gentlemen are also making in quiry as to who are friendly to the move ment and who will give their financial as well as moral support. The first to come to the front in both lines were the Petaluma Poultry Keepers Association and the Petaluma Grange. Their hrst contributions, besides moral support, was $5 each. Some of the money will be used in the publications of bulletins de- scrlptive of the movement and the pro- greSS made.
