MERRY MUSIC

HETHER the big-wigs Of music
m / approve of Sousa as a writer of
wv comic opera or not. no reluctant
audience ever fills the chairs when
his productions are staged, and II they
are not so classical as a certain NTH
symphony, neither are they so dry as
Beethoven fugue. SOusa never does the
unexpected. His musical intelligence IS
expressed in no hesitating tones-he seems
10 hold nothing in reserve and 1t would
be difficult to sense the possibilities OF
his future work by his last production.
To me he always seems to have frankly
said all that he had to say and meant TO
be silent ever after But it is good, jolly
music. the time count IS possible from
first 10 last without interruption, ana
nothing puts one in a better mo3d ~ ~than
the rhythm OF a SouSa march. harcIes

motion that makes it interesting-a study

wobbiness of carriage needs adjusting,

Ills tone production has seemed like the
persistent identity of bad bass in what
had otherwise been a good composition.
If Mr. Wolf were not clever and intelli-
gent. SO much criticism would be a foolish
waste Of time, but he has been applauded
into these eXaggerations-he needs to
think il over and make a resOlute, Vigor-
GUS powerful dash for variety. If he
does he will gain immeasuTably as an
actor and win applause more wOrthily.
His drinking song is an excellent piece of
work Miss Mason makes a dignified
Isabel and Mr. Persse, save for the Celtic
touch he gives the dialogue, a satisfactory
Count Verado. Miss Ladds Estrelda
lacks spirit and dash, but it is rather
unsatisfactory part. If Taciturne makes

Sousa's Stars and Stripes, with the
waving flags and calcium effects, the

one OF the stirring choruses, was ap-
plauded to the echo. Mr.. Morosco's
fights to the opera expire with this pro-
duction, so it is not likely to be heard
soon again. "FatintZa" is in prepara-

glare to the electric lights to illurnine
the way and the usual San Francisco
early evening crowd had no difficulty
in massing itself in such numbers as
absolutely to bar street car travel for
the time being
1t took nearly twenty minutes for the
parade to march from Mason street to
the ferry depot, with every step
cheered and no step lost on the way.
As the head of the line crossed East
street numerous whistles on the water
front footed in honor of their arrival
and there was an extra great flare of
red fire.
Ten minutes were left in which to
catch the boat for the Oakland mole
and in that short space of time the
natives made things hum in the ferry
building. Every band and each drum
corps did its level best to whoop
things up, and the universal verdict is
that they accomplished their purpose.
1t was a whoOp-up worth seeing and
hearing and was just the necessary
touch to give the boys the send off
they needed to make them bury any lit
tie regret they might have had at leav-
ing San Francisco for ever so short a
time for such pleasant place as Santa
Cruz in carnival time.
The scene on the boat going over was
just as hilarious and that on the mole
was a duplication. The great crowd
piled on the gayly decorated excursion
train shortly before o'clock, and latest
advices from Santa Cruz are that the
hilarity was at its height when the ma
tives hit that holiday town shortly
after midnight.
A large number of natives who were
unable to get away last night will take
the train at 6:25 o'clock this morning
and reach Santa Cruz in time to par
ticipate in the Admission day parade,
which is scheduled for II o'clock this
morning.
SANTA CRUZ. Sept. 9. 12:15 a. m.-The
first train with Native Sons parlors ar
rived at 12:10 this morning. Two other
trains followed. They were received by
the local parior with a band a process
sion was formed and the visitors amid
the glow of red lights were escorted to
their hotels. Although so early in the
morning the streets were crowded.

FRENNA HELD TO ANSWER.
Judge Graham Decides He Must Be
Tried for the Turner
Ki1linr

Joseph Frenna was held to answer for
the murder of James F. Turner yester-
day by Judge Graham. The court had the
matter under advisement for several days
and when the case was called yesterday
said that after reviewing the evidence
he had concluded that the crime of mur-
der had been committed and that there
sufficient testimony to warrant the
belief that the defendant was guilty
thereof Bail was fixed in the sum of
$4,000.
Attorney George D. Collins objected
strenuously to admitting the defendant
to BAIL and at once filed an affidavit be-
fore Superior Judge Daingerield upon
which a writ of certiorari was issued, re-
turnable before Judge Lawler at s o'clock
last evening. AT that time Attorney John
A. Hosmer attempted to file a demurrer
to the writ, but Attorney Collins object
ed, and after lengthy argument the court
refused TO allow the respondent to in
terpose the demurrer. The case went
o'clock. In the meantime Frenna will
have to remain in jail, although he has
bondsmen ready to qualify in the sum
fixed by Judge Graham.

RAWHIDE MINE SUIT.
The Owners Win-Sale by George NJ.
Pinney Set Aside.

News comes from Boston that Yesterday
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts up
held the judgment rendered by the lower
court in favor of Nevills, Martin and Bal
lard, the owners of the Rawhide mine,
and against Norton, Pinney and associ-
ates, the opinion holding that the sale of
the mine which George NJ. Pinney pre-
tended to make to one Norton was illegal
and void.
The facts as shown on the trial Of the
case are that some four or five years ago
George M. Pinney, who is not entirely
unknown in this State, induced the own
ers of the RaWhide mine to give him a
letter of attorney to sell their stock on
the Boston Mining Board upon certain
terms and conditions, one OF which was
that all sales of the stock should be for
cash and the money be turned into a
bank in Boston for the owners it being
agreed that this bank should hold the
stock until it was sold. Pinney was
mere broker to find customers and was
not intrusted with the stock or the money
coming from the sales. Not long after
this arrangement there was a big i'm
provement in the mine, and Pinney as
sumlng to act for the owners, made an
agreement with Norton to sell him the
whole stock upon eight or nine months
time. The owners promptly repudated
this transaction, claiming that Norton was
q man of straw and that the whole busi-
ness had been concocted by Pinney and
his confederates, including one Pierre
Humbert Jr., to cheat and defraud his
against the owners for damages on ac-
count Of refusing to carry out this Illegal
sale which has now been finally decided
against Norton and his associates.

Then came the feature of the parade.

ing at Santa Cruz. Marching six
abreast came the men of the First Cal
ifornia Volunteer Regiment, head
ed by Lieutenant Colonel Box
ton and other officers, and
members of the California Heavy
Artillery, led by Captain Dennis
Geary. Without respect TO company
affiliation they marched, some in blue.
some in khaki, and all together, to re-
ceive cheer after cheer on their way.
The second division. headed by Mar
shal Leo WELLER, marched to the music
made by the Alumni drum corps at
tached to El Dorado Parlor No. 50,
which turned out no less than 100 mem
bers. Bay City Parlor followed with as
large a turnout. National Parlor, with
badges suggestive of the name,
marched in numbers after its own
drum corps. Alcatraz Parlor made
fine showing of members and brought
up the rear of the division.
The boys of ting Hamilton Evening
School Band, in white duck trousers,
dark uniform coats and helmets from
which f1oated punches of yellow horse
hair, set the step for the third division,
headed by Marshal Bowley and his
aids. Alcalde and Mantle parlors fol-
lowed. The drum corps and the other
marching members Of San Francisco
Parlor No. 49 made a large and splen-
did showing, while Stanford Parlor No
rs, it's members in white hats with red
bands, brought up the rear Of the divi-
sion.
Hesperian Parlor's band Of fourteen
pieces, in caps and uniforms of white
duck, led the fourth and last division,
under the direction of Marshal A. K.
Daggett. Hesperian Parlor's turnout
of members seemed to be the largest
in the line. Precita and Marshall par
lors, with their drum corps, ended the
parade.
The demonstrations as the parade
passed along Market street were pleas
ing in the extreme. Rockets were shot
from many buildings, red fire lent its

CHINESE GAMBLERS RAIDED.
Twenty Nine Willy Celestials Ar
Taken Into Custody by the
Chinatown Snnad

While Sergeant Duke was absent from
his district in Chinatown last night tele-
phoning nice things about himself to a
morning newspaper the squad he is sup
posed to lead raided Tie Cows fan-tan
game at $40 Washington street.
AS a result of the raid twenty-nine
gamblers We're captured along with their
complete paraphernaia and $6S in coin.
Tie Cows place is known as the Union
League Club of Chinatown and has given
the police trouble for a long time on ac-
count of the cleverness in which its man
ayers and members have eluded arrest.
1t has been the custom of the players
to place their gambling outfit in safe
the moment the bluecOats were spotted
by the lookout, thus leaving no evidence
in sight by which they could be taken
into court This trick was repeated last
night by the willy Chinese, but this time
1t did not work for the reason that one
of the officers had had the forethought
to provide himself with a search warrant.
By virtue of this, the safe was opened
and the paraphernalia secured. The cap
tured Chinese were escorted to the Cali
fornia-street station.

CROWDS VIEW THE PLANS.
University Designs Will Be on Public
Exhibition Until Next Tuesday.

The Hearst plans for the new State
University will be on public exhibition
at the ferry depot until next Tuesday
evening. At that time the work of dis
mounting and repacking the rejected de-
signs preparatory to shipping them back
to Europe will be begun. The plans that
were awarded prizes in the architectural
contest become the property of the uni
versity Regents, but what disposition will
be made of them has not as yet been def
nitely decided. The Bernard plans, which
won the first prize and after which the
new university buildings will be de-
signed, will unquestionably be taken to
Berkeley and will likely be placed in the
Bacon art gallery. 1t is proposed to send
the other prize-winning plans to the Hop
kins Institute of Art.
Crowds inspected the designs all day
Yesterday and in the evening until 10
o'clock, when the doors to the exhibit
We're. closed. Harry Newman, Paul
Smith, William Mitchell and Eugene
Grove of the Morse Patrol have charge
of the police end of the exhibit They
have been cOmplimented by Mrs. Hearst
and the university representatives for the
careful, watch they have kept on the VAL

ROSENBERG COMPLAINS.
Seeks the Arrest of the Managers Of
the Union Iron Works.

Secretary Rosenberg of the Federated
Trades Council called at the office of
United States Attorney Coombs yester-
day and asked that a complaint be drawn
against the managers of the Union Iron
Works for violating the Federal eight
hour law. He said that men working on
the Government transport Hancock were
obliged to labor ten hours each day.
Assistant United States Attorney Ban
ming, to whom the complaint was made,
requested Mr.. Rosenberg to call on Mon
day, as he desired to occupy the interven-
ing period in examining authorities as to
whether the Federal eight-hour law ap-
piled to work on Government transports
In time of war. The statute prohibits the
employment of laborers and mechanics on
Government work for more than eight
hours per day, except in cases of extra
ordinary emergency"
Mr. Banning has written letter to the
managers of the Union Iron Works noti-
flying them of the complaint made by Sec
retary Rosenberg.

such talent and efficiency.
Miss Meta Asher has acquired a splen-
did control of the technical difficulties
demanded by the advanced pianist. Bar
ring a little nervousness, which always
creeps into the first pieces of a pro
gramme. the young lady did not by any
means disappoint those of her admirers
who expected to find her a splendidly
equipped musician. She takes great pains
in coloring her recital and she seems en-
dowed with a natural poetic temperament
which assists her greatly in interpreting
her pieces with musicianly taste. Her
execution is clean and intellectual Her
attack is firm and yet soft. Her Chopin
selections were no doubt her best work of
the evening.

Dameron Will Contested.

Mary E. Morgan yesterday filed a con-
test to the will of James NJ. Dameron,
who died in Stockton February 4, 1899.
The contestant ayers that when the de-
ceased executed the testament he was Of
unsound mind. and also that an Illegal
trust is established. Dameron proved by
the language of his will that he was &C.
centric. He asked that his body be Gre
mated and the ashes spread on the flower
beds of the park, as they would make the
flowers grow.
These manifestations of eccentricity are
declared to be evidence of insanity of
such degree as to incapacitate him from
making a legal testament, and hence the
contest was filed by a disinherited heir.

parlors headed last night for Santa

ready to catch the first train this morn
ing for the carnival city, where such
great preparation has been made to eel
citrate this anniversary Of Admission
day.
The scenes attending the departure Of
the natives-even if on q smaller
scale-were reminiscent Of the big night
demonstration with which San Fran
cisco welcomed the returning California
volunteers. The only features missing
were the uncomfortable crowds and the
great blaze of electric lights. There
was a parade and a good sized one at
that; there were red fire and rockets and
roman candles; there were brass
bands any number of them and drum
corps to burn; there We're waving flags
and cheers and there was Jim DOckery
leading the procession, looking as
pretty a s a new milkwagon. with a sash
around his midriff that made it appear

The parade was formed on Mason and

of the certainty Of a good time ahead.

many a breast; men of the First Cali

numerously with the crowd; ticket sell
lers were thick as a Scotch mist: men
with beribboned canes did lively bus
