marks Of great age, they are remark
ably we'll preserved. They were de-
signed originally as decorations for the
imperial palace Of Mono Yama, built at
Fushimi in the sixteenth century. More
than 200 years ago two Of these screens
were appraised at a value Of 1000 yen,
equivalent now to $1,000. but perhaps
then equal to twice that sum.
A second rara avis OF the exhibition
is vase Of the world-famed peach
blow pottery. This is q certain tint
and glaze OF delicate pink originated by
a Chinese potter centuries ago and
since lost to the world. Only two other
specimens OF this rare and costly ware
are known to exist in the United States.
One Of these was bought for $4,000,
and the other. very small specimen,
sold in New York recently at the start
ling figure Of $13,5OO. The exact value
Of the Stanford piece is not known.
Taking the collection all in all it rep
resents some Of the most exquisite art
work that has ever been imported into
this country from Japan. 1t Is not only
a valuable addition to the collections
Of the Stanford museum. but II is also
an excellent acquisition to Americas
ceramic possessions. Mrs. Stanford con-
siders it the most satisfactory purchase
ever made for the museum.

EPPINCER JURY
IS STILL OUT
Defendant Occupies the Lux
uriously Furnished Rooms
of Judge Carroll Cook

Reported About the Hall
of Justice That Majority
Is Voting to Convict

| After deliberations lasting MANY
hours the jury in the case Of Jacob
Eppinger failed to agree on a verdict
! last evening, and was again locked IN
| for the night at the Palace Hotel. The
case was submitted to- the jury at S
o'clock Friday afternoon and annie
! time has elapsed to admit of a fore
man being chosen and scores Of ballots
taken, but not word has been heard
! from the talesmen.
Jacob Eppinger is still in the CUSTODY
of the Sheriff and still enjoying the un-
usual privilege Of being held prisoner
in the chambers Of Judge of the Su-
perior Court instead of in the County
Jail, as is the fate OF others in his
predicament.
From the time he was remand
ed to the custody Of the Sheriff he has
occupied the chambers of Judge Car
roll Cook, now absent on his vacation.
He has also been permitted to choose
his own dining room, and accompanied
by a Sheriff's deputy has taken his
meals outside the walls of the Hall of
Justice
The corridors of the hall were
thronged all day yesterday and until
late last night with friends of the de-
fendant. his attorneys and others in
terested in the case. Speculation was
rife but facts there were none. The
jurors were closely guarded during
their deliberations, one deputy taking
a seat at the doorway leading from
the jury-room to the courtroom and
another being stationed at the door
opening into the corridor. The corri-
dor was kept clear of all but officers of
the court and attaches of the Sheriff's
office.
Early in the afternoon It was rumor-
ed that the jury stood eight for con-
viction and four for acquittal and later
it was said that but one man was hold
ing out for acquittal, the other eleven
being satisfied as to the guilt of the
defendant.
In his improvised prison Jacob Ep-
pinger, surrounded by family and
friends, is anxiously awaiting the ver-
dict He slept but little Friday night
and during the day would alternately
sit in gloomy silence and pace nervous
ly up and down the room. The en-
forced confinement even In the lux
uriousIy furnished chambers Of Judge
Cook was irksome and the suspense al
most uncomfortable. At about 10 o'clock
he had one of his spasms which from
time to time have delayed the trial,
but it was of short duration and no
physician was called in to minister to
him.
The Jurors will resume their delib-
erationS this morning.

VASE OF MARI WARE.

Another beautiful porcelain is a vase
of Imari ware. made in Hizen province
in 1886 The exceptional point about the
vase is the decoration While the
archaic pattern is principally followed,
two different methods are employed.
The design is alike on each side. At the
base, on a jet black background, is
shown a Chinese lion, or karashishi, in
a crouching attitude guarding a double
crest The whole is framed with a
white border of blue. Immediately
above, over the glaze, is depleted the
imperial ho-ho bird. or royal pheasant,
surrounded by sprays Of the wonderful
kiri tree. Altogether the vase is an in
tensely interesting piece of the old SYM
bolic pottery.
The most highly priced part of the
collection is made I'D of several gorge

CURIOS ARE INSTALLED.

CURIOS ARE INSTALLED.
Some difficulty was encountered in
getting the goods released from bond,
but this was finally accomplished and
the consignment was delivered to the
university several weeks ago. Since
then Curator Peterson, assisted by
Ikeda and Inada, has been busily en-
gagged in putting the articles in place
in the museum. The entire collection
has not arrived, but will reach the uni
versity in two weeks, at which time
the Japanese room will be again closed
to permit the installation of the new
goods.
Nearly every famous artist Of Japan,
both modern and ancient, is represent
ed. Some Of the most interesting pieces
are figures Of Japanese NEUROLOGICAL
characters. These are extremely odd
and many Of them of great age. One Of
the rarest of these is an ancient exam
pie of Kyoto ware. The legendary fox
is depicted as an old man in long-f1ow-
ing robes and a strange hood. He car
ries a parasol and a cane. 1t is the
handiwork of Nonomura Ninsei, cele-
brated artist in this ware, which was
produced about 1866 A. D.
The most notable piece Of cloissone
in the whole exhibition is huge IN
cense burner, or korO, of the Chienling
period, 1t is globular in shape, sup
ported by three short gold legs, with a
fret-worked cover surmounted by con-
ventionalized lotus blossoms. The body
of the koro Is Of dull light-blue, the
ornaments, consisting of flowers and
scrollwork designs, are worked out in
white, red, green and dark blue enam-
els. On the cover appears a crest thrice
repeated. The handles are unique. in
the form Of a blocked dragon, with
sides finished in FURNISHED gold. The
whole stands on base of similar work
