SIR PURDON on PICTURES.
National Sculpture Society Told OF Coming
Exhibition or American Works.


Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke, director Of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was
the guest last night of the National Sculp-
ture Society at its home, 215 West Fifty
seventh street. Carl Bitter was toast
master. and the chief speakers were Sir
Purdon and Edward Robinson, assistant
director of the museum,
In response to a eulogistic introduction
nv Mr.. Bitter. Sir Purdon said that one Of
the difficulties in sculpture and painting
was the tendency not to admire n work Of
art until it had the sanction Of age. He be-
lieved that a work of art should have the
quality Of merit, and should not be praised
merely because il was 200 or 800 years old.
The works that had to he explained by crit
les and dealers were not. therefore. excellent.
| There was also, he said, an art that appealed
to the unciltivated, and that sometimes
was the art to cultivate.
| and morbid and the brutally strong" Too
much individuality was not necessarily
an indication of genius. 1t had taken him
years TO get into the habit of admiring
| some of the pictures of Michael Angelo,
who seemed sometimes to be brutally strong.
and even now he was not certain that he
had not been guilty of giving way to the
Mr.. Robinson complimented Sir Purdon
on the work that he had accomplished in
"a paternal spirit OF self-efiacement. "
He said that there was an impression that
the museum was not interested in Ameri-
can art. This was proved wrong, as there
would soon be on exhibition in the museum

Mrs. Mary Ambrose, a widow, IS years

stroyed everything in her home on the
third floor rear OF a tenement at 1929 Second

Edward Walters, who lives with his family
on the third floor front. was awakened at
~ 40 o'clock by an explosion. Rushing to

other men, smashed in the door. They

a wild rush down the stairs. Those living
above the third floor had no means oil
escape except by way of the roof, and they
rushed for that part Of the building.
Meanwhile, an alarm had been turned
in and the aremen soon arrived. They
made short work of the flames. Mrs.
Ambrose was found in bed unconscious
and badly burned about the face, arms and
body. She was hurried to Flower Hos

said that she could hardly live through the

POLICE STOP FINISH FIGHT.
SIeuth From the Roof nterfered at Fifth
Round sports In Evening Dress Disguised.

An attempt to pull off a finish fight be-
tween light heavyweight pugilists in a
stable in West Fifty-sixth street was frus-
trated last night by Capt. Zimmerman and
twenty cops from the West Forty-seventh
street station. The police had got wind
of the affair and watched outside the stable.
For a long time they counted automobiles
and carriages that rolled up and discharged
sports, many Of whom were in evening
dress.
Finally. at II o'clock, Capt. Zimmerman
sent Detective Fitzpat rick to gain entrance
to the place. The detective knew he would
be recognized at the door and got in by
climbing up the fire escape of an adjoining
building, thus getting to the roof of the
stable. Then opening a scuttle, he dropped
to the top floor Of the stable in a room that
had been used as dressing quarters for the
fighters.
The sleuth then made his way down
stairs and watched the fight until 1t had
gone five rounds-two rounds over the
limit prescribed by law then he blew
his whistle as a signal to the oops outside.
The police made a rush and carried away
the door leading to the place. Great ex-
! oitement followed. The spectators STAN
peded for the doors and 1t was necessary for
the police to draw their revolvers and
bilies in order to keep the crowd in checs.
Detective Fitzpatrick. after giving the sig
nal, had leaped into the ring and held up the
two fighters and the referee at the point of
a revolver. The inrushing cops nabbed
rhe ticket taker at the door and also a man
whom they charged with being the man
ager Of the affair,
Jack Hyde and Jack Calvin were the
two pugs that were to have fought to a
finish, Dave Sullivan, the fighter, was the
referee; John Heffernan the doorkeeper
and Alfred Eewhouse the man whom the
police charged with running the fight,
These FIVE were taken to the West Forty
seventh street station house and locked up.

this, 1 know a Judge VINO took these favoTs,
saying he did so TO show that he was above
being influenced by such little c~onsidera-
tions.
There is nothing 80 foolish as the enact
ment of a law incapable of enforcement.
As, for example. the prohibition of the sale
of liquors in a place where IL cannot De
enforced. Such a law is generally passed
by the country members of the Legislature
who are not affected by It, and who are
~righteously concerned in making better
their city brethren who are affected. The
enforcement OF the law comes on theSe
who are not in favor Of it.
Nv here the sale of liquor cannot be pro-
hibited it is much better to restrain II tnan
TO submit TO q constant VIOLATION OF law,
which leads in time to a contempt OF all
laws.
II have observed since l spoke here last
June before the law school that one OF
Our prominent alumni has come out in a
statement paliating lynch law. This Is a
dangerous tendency. 1t would be far better
for violators to go free than that such law
should prevail, first, because of the danger,
of innocent persons suffering and second
because Of the chaos under lynch law. -.
Nothing is 80 bad that people should
take the law in their hands. The only,
way is to repeal the law that makes 1t hard
to bring criminals to justice. -.
Mr.. Taft tool up the alleged contempt OF
common law by great corporations which
he said employ skilled counsel to try to
evade the law. He said the common law
was THAT railroad companies should carry
freight az reasonable rates without any dis
elimination. But, the secretary continued,
secret rebates began to be given by railroad
corporations until great sums Of money were
passed over tol privileged patrons,
The railroads Of course favor their
large shippers. This has become so general
that it he's demoralized the whole railroad
business. Railroad men at last began TO
appreciate this INC an agreement was
reached to discontinue this rebate prac-
tice, but with this came an agreement be-
tween the companies on a question OF rates
This was a violation Of the Sherman Anti
Trust law and the railroad companies
found themselves between the devil and the
deep sea. a most unfortunate position.
1T is noticeable hat the defects in our
| criminal law we're not brought home WITT
force to the citizens at large until powerful
: violators of law with immense sums OF
! money back of them managed by skilful
legal advice to escape prosecution.
II do not believe that the whole picture
, is black. The last ten years has been a
decade Of prosperity never before known
In this prosperity, in which we have al
| shared, some. have taken, it is true, ill
gotten shares
In closing Mr.. Taft said:
The courts are the background OF civil
l"ization. The United States Supreme Cour,
is the background of the whole Govern
rpent. 1t is the last resort. lts power
rests upon the supremacy OF Fundamental
law.
1T is possible to bring legislatures t.
adopt new amendments to the laws tina
will bring criminals to justice. Exercise
of this privilege is one of the highest duties
of citizenship"

LET FRISCO BUILD FIRST.
New York Not Likely 10 Compete for the
Temporary Work.

Though several New York companies
engaged in the steel construction business
nave either sent or are about to send e1-
perts to San Francisco, il was announced
by representatives Of some OF the largest
Of the firms yesterday that New York
builders will not take part in the immediate
rebuilding of the city.
Il do not think that any of the larger
houses Of this city will bid for the erection
of such temporary buildings a. San Fran
cisco business men will require for their
OF the firms. That will be left, as it should
be, entirely to San Francisco builders. They
will need the business. and it would be- i'm
proper for New York firms to crowd in and
deprive them Of their own,
dThe experience in Baltimore is a case in
point. Immediately after the fire there,
before even the ashes cooled, there was
a hepira Of builders from this city invading
Baltimore. They arrived so promptly that
business men Of that city became disguised
and rave their immediate orders TO home
people. II looked too much like unseemly
haste in making money ont Of the mis-
fortune of others.
I'm the case of San Francisco. while the
rebuilding Of the immediate future will be
done by Californians. when il comes to a
question Of erecting large permanent DUST
ness blocks. undoubtedly San Francisco
will want all the help and advice it can
secure in making plans for buildings that
will endure the shock Of an earthquake.
Our advices concerning the condition
in which the modern steel buildings OF the
city we're left by the earthquake convince
us that we already have constructed build
ings that will resist a severe shock. But

tanning the exact effect of the earthquake
