DEATH OF WATTS.
Eminent Painter and Sculptor Died in
London Yesterday.

A cablegram from London last night
says: George Frederick Watts the painter
died of bronchitis today
George Frederick Watts, painter and
sculptor was born in London In 1917 When
he was still hardly more than boy he was
admitted to the Royal Academy In 1895
he retired. In the period of his activity he
was known as the most prominent artist
of his time. The greater part Of his life
work-didactic canvases and portraits-he
presented to the National Gallery of British
Art and the National Portrait Gallery
where they were meant to form "a nucleus
of national gallery of purely British art"
The most interesting of Watts work was
symbolic and didactic. Watts preached of
the danger of riches. the cruelty of greed,
the power of love and the fallacy of the
fear of death. He deficient in aca-
demic training, but his constructive powers
were good and his ideas of color, which he
got for the most part from Tntoretto, in
Venice, were powerful His symbolic fig
ures were always ideal and ella ssical, and it
IS said that he drew his Inspirations for
them largely from the Elgn marbles
Among his portraits-and Watts painted
more famous contemporaries than any
other man of his time-are those of Glad
stone the Duke of Devonshire, Tennyson
Browning Swinburne. Matthew Arnold,
William Morris, John Stuart Mill, Carlyle,
Lord Leighton, Rosetti, Garibaldi. GuiZot
and Jerome Bonaparte. The nobility and
breadth of his sculptures were perhaps I'M
surpassed in his period. Among his best
known marbles are "Clytie, Lord 10th
ian, Physical Energy" and Hugo Lupus"
Watts lived a quiet life and was entirely
devoted to his art. He refused to sell much
of his best work and gave 1t to the nation.
An early marriage with Ellen Terry, the
actress, was dissolved in 1885, and Watts
then married Miss Mary Fraser-Tylet. who
survives him. He twice refused a baronet-
cy took first-class medals at Paris and
Antwerp. was elected to the French Insti-
tute in 1903, and on building memorial at
Aldersgate for those who lost their lives
endeavoring to save life received the Order
of Merit from the king.
Love and Life" the most famous paint
ing of the dead artist, is hanging in the
private apartments OF the White House.
1t was placed there by order of President
Roosevelt. There was objection on the
part of a number of people, but the picture
has continued to remain where it was hung.
1t was originally presented to President
Cleveland for the White House a number
of years ago. When he undertook to hang
1t in the White House there was an uproar
from people of overtime sensibilities, and
he directed that it be sent to the Corcoran
Art Gallery. There 1t stayed until Presi-
dent Roosevelt concluded he would like to
have it in the White House, and sent for it.

Free Scholarships in Colleges.

Mr. Sutherland reports that next fall
he will be able to classify them and dis
tribute the most of them among the pre-
paratory schools and colleges in different
parts of the country. Two years ago the
IL e John r. Proctor, president of the civil
service commission at Washington, who
was absorbed with interest for the Filipino
people, undertook to secure from different
educational Institutions throughout the
United States offers of scholarships-tha
is. free tuition-fOr Filipino students. Near
ly every institution to which he applied re-
spOnded favorably, Offering to undertake
the education free of cost of from two to
twelve students continuously as long as the
government desired to send them. Several
colleges offered to remit room rent in their
dormitories, and few proposed to pay all
charges except for books. clothing and in
cidental expenses. The results of this can
vass were submitted to Col Maurice Ed
wards, chief of insular affairs at Washing
ton and 1t is probable that the offers will
be accepted from this time on.

Diamond Robbery in Mt. Clemens.

A dispatch from Mount Clemens, Mich,
last night says: Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F.
Furst of New York city, who, with their
daughter, are staying at the Park Hotel,
were robbed Of about 5000 worth of dia-
monds some time yesterday afternoon. The
diamonds were in a trunk In Mrs. Furst's
room. They consisted of a 1880 brooch
and rings, pins and pendants. The trunk
was locked, and the thief evidently had a
key, as the trunk had been relocked after
the jewels had been stolen.
The robbery was not discovered until
Mrs. Furst's went to dress for dinner.

How Poison Of Cobra Acts.

From st. Nicholas.
The venom of the cobra contains an in
gredient not well known that acts upon the
nerves. Its effects are rapid and difficult
to counterfeit. This ingredient exists IN the
cobras venom to greater extent than the
other substances that make up the poison.
The poison of the viperine and crotaline
snakes Othe rattlesnakes. copperhead. moe
casin, &c. contain but a small percentage
of this nerve destroying: or paralyizing
element The poison of these snakes acts
principally upon the blood, and In conse-
ouence Its action is slower.

A Popular Plan.

The plan of sending young Filipinos
abroad is very popular and has awakened
great interest in every town of the Islands.
The departure of the first company of stu
dents was attended by formal ceremonies
and great demonstrations. special per-
Torrance was given in their honor at the
opera house, a mass meeting was held at
which speeches were delivered by Governor
Taft, Commissioners Smith and Tavera and
several prominent Filipinos, and a process
sion with half dozen brass bands, many
civic organizations and thousands of ciIi-
zens accompanied the boys to the docks.
This year the selections have been made
after competitive examinations, and each
province has been given its quota. The
examinations were much more severe than
ever before and fine class Of boys has
been secured. Next year girls will be in
vited to participate in the examinations,
which would have peen done before but
for the fear of exciting opposition and dis
trust.

ALAMEDA, March although
the family of William NJ. Schwartz of
1906 Ninth street had known Louis B..
Wiley, who was found asphyxiated by
illuminating gas at Al Oetavia street,
San Francisco, yesterday, for a
year, they learned but little of his life
prior to the time of making his ac-
quaiIltance. They believed him single.
Mrs. Schwartz said: I'VE had known
Mr.. Wiley about year. but for the
last eight months we had not seen him.
He was acquainted with my sister,
Miss Wilson, and apparently took a
fancy to her, but the relation was only
of a friendly nature. He did not give
us the impression that he had wife.
He was a travelling man and had
friends but no relatives in Smartsville
that we ever heard him speak of. He
once mentioned his mother. who.
think he said, lived in New York State.
We do not know what business Wiley
was engaged in at the time Of his

William Knapp, importer of German
goods and formerly a Deputy City AS
SCISSOR, who fell heir to a fortune from
his parents estate in the fatferland,
has caused the arrest of DR.. H. Rozsas,
a prominent member of the local Ger

libel. Knapp declares the physician
wrote and circulated a printed COM
munication which declared that he,
Knapp, was not fit for the society of
decent women.
According TO the complaint there
has been much trouble brewing among
the German residents. Knapp quotes
the alleged libelous circular to show
that RoZsas objected because Knapp
had been made one of a reception
committee at banquet which the
Oakland Turn Verein gave February
l9 to the officers and cadets of the
German schoolship then in the har-
Dor.
DR.. Rozsas, il is charged, warned the
women of the Oakland Turn Verein

OAKLAND, March 8.-Detectives have
been busy to-day in an effort to trace
the pair of desperate heusebreakers
who tried last night to kill Policeman
Alfred ]. Hall when he surprised them
trying to force an entrance to Henry
Herrs residence, 1862 Fifty-fourth
street That the men are responsible
for the large number of recent bur
glaries that have occurred in that sec
ton of the city the police have no
doubt. hence they have double cause TO
capture the murderous prowlers.
Unfortunately, Policeman Hall was
unable to get fair sight of the men.
AS soon as they saw him both burglars
commenced shooting from the front
porch of the Herr place. They jumped
down and separated as Hall dropped to
the ground to avoid the bullets. One
burglar ran around the east SIDE of the
Herr place and the other started west.
This burglar was within four feet of
Hall and he fred a shot at the pros
trate Datrolman. Then the fugitive
ran through an alley on the west eide
of Herr's house, Hall sending one shot
after the fleeing man.
The patrolman pursued. but both
burglars had disappeared over back
fences into Fifty fifth street, and there
wasn't sign Of them by the time the
policeman was well started after the
thugs. The shooting aroused the

his pistol. At the Herr residence Mrs.
Herr and two daughters, occupying a
room the window of which opened on
the porch, heard the burglars at work,
but she said to-day she thought the
noise was made by dog on the porch.
Mrs Herr paid no attention to the dis
turbance until the shooting startled
her and she went to the window, but
saw nothing, the burglars having dis
appeared, with the policeman after
them.
Earl Hedemark, a boy, found bull

where Hall dropped. They were turned
over to the police.

Hall said to-day:

This burglar took a shot at me that
was so close it powder burned my

him, but it evidently didn't hit him, be-
cause he kept on running. Both men
were out of sight by the time I got

MACDONALD PAYS OVER
BALANCE ON HIS BID
Opponent of Oakland Transit ConsoIi-
dated Completes Financial End of
Fight for Franchises.

OAKLAND. March 81. H. Mac
donald, who outbid the Oakland
Transit Consolidated last night in a
contest for street railroad franchises
before the. City Council, paid over a
balance Of $500 due the city on his
bond Of $500 10 the City Clerk this
afternoon. The payment was in the
shape OF a certified check on the
Union National Bank. Macdonald
also filed an agreement to allow
United States letter-carriers TO ride
free on the cars over the roads that
might be built under the franchises
These documents were prepared by At
torney Sam Bell Mckee.
Within five days Macdonald will
have 10 file a $4,000 bond to fulfill the
provisions Of the franchises.
Much speculation concerning the
men behind Macdonald in the pur-
chase of these franchises has been
INDUCED. The theory that the South
ern Pacific's hand is in the deal is ac-
cepted by a few. but the most of the
street talk points TO prominent bank
ers and holders of large realty inter-
ests as the real persons concerned in
the deal.

Robert Vincent Unable to
Get Meat From the Whole
salers and Shuts Doors
BOSSES SEEM SATISFIED
Efforts Being Made by the
Men to Interest Eastern
Organizations in Fight
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
Ills Broadway. March s.

Another pro-union butcher-shOp
closed its doors tonight because it
was unable to get meat, but aside
from this there was little change in
the butchers strike. Robert Vincent,
on Washington street, near Seventh,
sold his last piece of meat tonight,
and not being able to replenish his
supply he was compelled to shut up
shop. Neither Vincent nor Nevin, who
closed yesterday for the same reason,
has signed the employers agreement
Paul Wuthe, East Oakland; Neuman
& Korn, corner of Sixth and Clay
streets, and George II. Minall, corner
of Twelfth and West streets. still have
supplies of meat and will run as union
markets.
The other butcher-shops in Oakland
are still in nearly full operation. The
bosses are helping each other out in
every way. In some cases the deliv-
cry of meat has been delayed or
stopped, but as a general rule the
bosses say that they are getting along
in first-class shape. Fred Becker,
around whom is the main fight, said
to-day that he could get forty non
union men, enough to stock every mar
ket in Oakland. He added that the
bosses would never recognize the
union.
The Butchers Union held a meeting
last night and it was decided to stand
by the fight. 1t is reported that every
member of the union has remained
loyal, despite the lockout, and that
not a man has deserted.
Efforts of various kinds are being
made by the union men to meet the
conditions. but nothing has been ac-
complished as yet. An effort was
made to-day to get the slaughter
house men into the fight for the union
and to have them refuse to dress meat
for the wholesalers. 1t is claimed
that two-thirds of the stockyards men
are members of the union. The effort
to get the Cooks and Walters Union
into the fight for the butchers has
practically failed. Many of the res
taurant proprietors have agreed to
stand by the boss butchers if their en-
pIoyes support the union workmen.
The most important effort that is being
made is to get the Eastern unions into
the fight and prevent the butchers
here who refuse to recognize the
union from getting any supplies from
the big packing-houses
