them fatally, in runaway accident
at the Presidio yesterday afternoon
Sister Bernhard and Sister Geanne of
the Home for the Aged. both of whom
are much beloved by the inmates OF
the institution, were thrown from a
buggy and badly bruised about the
body and cut about the face. John
Hogan. an old man who lives at the
home, was so seriously hurt that he
may not recover from his injuries.
Sisters Bernhard and Geanne left the
Home for the Aged at Fifth and Lake
streets early in the afternoon for a
visit to the Presidio camps. Hogan
offered to drive them there. and this
offer was accepted. When the vehicle
reached the gate of the artillery post

COMMERCIAL METHODS
INTERFERE With ART
Chris Jorgensen Sells Indian Prince
One Picture Instead
of Three.

Artists of the brush and easel who
aspire to high things in art and fire.
quently get the sky line have their
perplexities just like common mortals.
Chris Jorgensen is in the Yosemite Val
ley inhaling inspiration and turning g
out pictures galore. Many tourist
has gone from the valley bearing a
beautiful souvenir of the trip in the
shape of a canvas painted by Jorgensen,
but that is not all. Two pictures that
were ordered recently by the celebrat-
ed Prince of Baroda to adorn a palace
in India. remain in the valley as a re-
suit of divergent views entertained by
the Prince and the manager of the
Prince. The Prince saw the pictures
painted by Jorgensen and selected
three. The manager of the Prince,
who seems to have authority in the
premises when the disbursement of
money is involved, ruled that one ex-
ample of Jorgensen's genius was ample
and hence two of the three gems OF
art were placed in the holdover.
Returning tourists assert that Jor-
gensen received $500 for the accepted
picture and would have received an
equal amount for each of the other
two If the intrusive business manager

orally sympathize with Jorgensen, and
If Tavernier were alive there would
be an indignation meeting in the art
colony. What right under the blue
vault has cold-blooded business man
ager to clog the progress of true art?

Buenos Ayres Visitor
Tells. How Argentine
Republic Is Growing

Lyman Lancaster of Buenos Ayres
says the people of the Argentine Repub-
lie and Brazil were looking forward to
Secretary Elihu Roots visit with great
interest when he left his South Amer
ican home. Mr.. Lancaster, who is a
big stock raiser in the Argentine Re
public, arrived yesterday on the steam
er San Juan.
we want to show Mr. Root that
President Roosevelt, whom we all ad-
mire," said Mr.. Lancaster, has been
doing US an injustice in chasing us
with the irresponsible and ouarrelsome
republics of Central America I believe
his trip will open Mr.. Roots eyes and
that In future utterances from Wash
ington Brazil and the Argentine Re
public will be recognized as countries
o: some dignity"
Mr.. Lancaster deplores North Amer
lean ignorance of South America and
thinks a little light on, the subject
would be beneficial all around.
He says that in all Western America
there is not a port to compare in
equipment with Buenos Ayres.
"Buenos Ayres, has a population Of
more than 100000 people says Ian
caster, "and is one of the healthiest
cities in the world. Our death rate is
Il per mil and our birth rate 33 per
mil. New York's death rate is 25 and
the birth rate only 20.
I'VE have 200 newspapers.
"In 1905 we exported 436,000 tons of
wheat. The commerce for the Argen-
tine Republic last year amounted to
s52S,201,743 gold, compared with Bra
zn's 1921, ,591. 900.
I'm 1891 we exported 1920 tons of
butter Our exports of butter in 1905
amounted to 100000 tons.
I'VE have 12,0o0,0o0 head of cattle in
the Argentine Republic. Our biggest
customer is England Most of our beef
is shipped chilled in specially construct
ed chambers, the air of which is care
fully sterilized. Meat shipped in this
way brings a higher price than the
frozen article. We no longer export
live cattle"
Mr. Lancaster expects to remain in
San Francisco a few weeks, and will
go from here to England

MASKED MEN HOLD
UP STREETCAR.
Panic Among Passengers
Scares Footpads and
They Obtain No Coin
FLOURISH PISTOLS

Two masked highwaymen held up an
electric car, southbound, on. Railroad
avenue, between Thirty fifth and Thir-
ty-sixth. a few minutes after IL
o'clock on Saturday night. The pas
sengers became panic-stricken and
jumped from the car, which alarmed the
footpads. and they ran away without
obtaining any booty.
George James was the conductor on
the car and James Leary motorman.
The car runs between Sixteenth ave-
nue. and the county line James re-
ported the hold-up to Mounted Police
man a ]. Gaughran on Sunday morn
ing about o'clock. but Gaughrans re-
port did not reach police headquarters
till yesterday morning, when Acting
Captain of Detectives Wren detailed
Detectives Regan and O'Connell on the
case.
James reported that when the car
reached the point indicated two men
made a signal for it to stop. The mo-
torman slowed up, and one of the men
jumped on the front of the car and
ordered Leary to stop. The man wore
mask and held revolver in his right
hand, which he pointed at Leary's head.
The car was promptly stopped.
The other footpad jumped on the
rear Of the car and. pointing a revolver
at James head, dema nded his coin He
d4SO wore HidSA- ne passengers De
came frightened and began to jump
from the car and shout for help The
footpads took fright and, jumping from
the car, disappeared in the darkness.
They obtained no booty.
The highwaynnan who confronted the
conductor was coatless and had cheap
revolver. but James said the other man
had a new 3s-cahber automatic wea-
pom, The only description that could
be given of the robbers was that they
were of medium size and wore dark
clothes Their faces and necks were
entirely concealed by large black
masks
From the fact that the highwaymen
were so easily scared the police believe
they were novices at the business and
that they live not far from the scene
of the hold-up. Detectives are working
on that theory

SAILORS DENY USE
Of ANY FORCE.
Furuseth Swears That
Men Did No Violence
to Non-Union Crews

H. W. Hutton, solicitor for the sea-
men, filed in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday the answer in the in
junction suit of the Hammond Lumber
Company against the Sailors Union of
the Pacific, the Marine Cooks and
Stewards Union and the Marine. Fire
mems Union It is general and par
ticular denial of all the allegations of
conspiracy and violence, and averments
are made that the defendants have
kept within the provisions of law.
Special denial is made of the allega-
ton that the defendants are insolvent.
and 1t is averred that they have a COM
bined fund of $3.50, 1000 in bank. The
answer sets forth also that the United
Shipping and transportation Associa-
tion of San Francisco is an unlawful
combination in restraint of, trade 1t is
averred further that each of the mem
bers of the trasportation associate
has made a deposit of $4,000 with the
president of the Citizens Alliance to be
. forfeited should the member violate his
agreement with the association.
After Henry Ach of the counsel for
the petition had finished reading affi-
davits concerning acts of violence by
defendants, Andrew Furuseth, secre-
tary of the Sailors Union, took the
witness stand and denied that his men
had been instructed to commit any act
of VIOLENCE or to make any threats, or
to resort to intimidation, and he assert
ed that no such acts had ever been re-
ported to him. All that his pickets
did. he. said, was to advise sailors and
others not to work at the present scale
of wages.
Mr. Ach asked: Did you ever in
vestigate the attack on Mr.. Gilbert, a
shipowner in Oakland. to ascertain
who the guilty parties were?"
Certainly not replied Furuseth,

in getting acquainted with each other.
The first regular meeting OF the new

J. E. Brannan. foreman Of the Grand
Jury, is indignant over the reports to
the effect that the inquisitoriaI body
would not give a fair investigation OF
the accusations made against the
Mayor by former Police CommisstSE er
Reagan. He says there is no reaS0n
why any member of the body should
not perform his duties fearlessly- Bran
nan is a capitalist and an old resident
of this city and has been a member OF
other grand juries.
Neither Mayor Schmitz. Abe Ruef
nor any other man in San Francisco
has any strings on me and the reports
going forth that the Grand Jury is
tool OF the administration is a down
right lie, said Foreman Brannan yes
terday. eff the Grand Jury decides at
its meeting Friday ito investigate the
accusations made by former Commits
sioner Reagan against the Mayor. will
prosecute the investigation just as Wig
orously as the were an ordinary citi-
zen.
There are several other members on
the jury whom have known for many
years. and I know their actions would
be the same as mine in dealing out
justice. The matter will be dealt with
in the regular way and no favors will
be shown any one so long as I am a
member of the jury"
District Attorney Ian gdon is reticent
about committing himself as to his ac-
tions in the Police Commission scandal
He will not admit that he will prose-
cute an investigation into the accusa-
ttons made against Mayor Schmitz by
Reagan.
Commissioner Reagan Is still de-
ternnined to have the Mayors political
scalp He said yesterday that he would
in time answer under his own signature
the charges assigned by the Mayor as
cause for his removal. II will prove
that I am not a liar" said Reagan YES
