STATUS OF LAW
ON ARCHITECTS
Amendment Proposed Forbids Erec-
ton of Building Where Plans Are
Not Drawn by Licensed
Architect

Los Angeles and other architects, as
well as builders, are manifesting lively
interest in the proposed emendments
to the California state law creating
the state board of architecture, created
in 1901. the law being the same that is
in force in Illinois and New Jersey.
Builders have heretofore been prlVl-
legged to direct the erection of their
own buildings where proper statement
is made Now it is proposed to cut out
this privilege.
The present law provides that. the
governor of the state shall appoint ten
persons. five from the northern district
of California and five from the south
ern district. These persons shall be
members of the American Institute OF
Architects, or of some similar institu-
ton.
The members of the board hold Of
flee for four years. All architects IN
good standing were granted certit-
Gates without examination for SIX
months after the passage of the act
After the expiration of six months
from the passage of the act it was
made a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine of from $50 to $500, for any person
to practice architecture without GER
tificate. A provision was made that
anyone might put up his own buildings
or furnish plans for the buildings OF
others If he informed the persons pro-
curing the plans that he was not a
certificated architect. An annual
license fee of So was provided for.
The amendment now before the leg
islature limits the erection of buildings
by those without certificates from the
state board.

ANOTHER BLOW TO OYSTERS.
FRENCH EPlCURES SCARED

Special Gable to The Herald.
PARIS, Feb. 16.-France was awak-
ened to the peril of the oyster by DR..
Meter in paper read before the
Academic de Medicine. Cases of pois-
oning due to oysters have been so
numerous, as have been cases OF ty-
phod, several ending fatally, that the
public began to ask whether 1t was
dangerous to eat oysters. To this ques-
ton DR.. Meter replies no, il the oysteIs
are uncontaminated. He then pro-
ceeded to give the result of his inves-
legations in cases of illness caused by
eating oysters which came from the
beds at Gette.
He discovered that the oyster beds IN
question are situated near place
where the sewage of town of $4,000 In
habitants empties itself into the Medi-
terranean. OF 120 cases of intestinal
arrangements, all appear to have been
provoked by oysters perfectly fresh, but
coming from Gette, he said. Since the
month of September, when oysters are
supposed to become edible, there has
been a regular increase in the number
of cases of castro enteritis and dysen-
terry, with symptoms of giddiness and
cramps. The typhoid cases are of eX-
ceptional gravity, seeing that the NOR
tality exceeds 80 per cent.
These facts, made public in Netter's
paper, have created prejudice against
the oyster, and dealers have grown
alarmed. They claim that the Gette
oysters are an exception and have de-
manded the formation of a service ol
supervision of oyster beds in order to
guarantee against the sale of the con-
taminated article. This measure will,
it is hoped, reassure the public, which
at present is decidedly shy in the pres
ence of the oyster.

CAFES HERE INFERIOR TO
TO LOND0N'S, BY JOVE!
Special to The Herald.


LONDON, Feb. 16.-Bellamy, the
kings poulterer, has returned from
America convinced of the supremacy
of British fare and London restau-
rants attractions.
He says he visited all the smartest
restaurants in New York-Sherry'
the Waldorf Astoria, the st. Regis,
the Cafe Martin and all the rest of
the famous resorts. The meals were
served with admirable celerity, but he
missed the deft, unobtrusive attention
received at English cafes.
Apparently he says, Americans do
not want to eat quietly. They prefer
noise, rattle and din. They also have
yet to appreciate what was long since
discovered by London hotel proprietors
that the ideal combination Is an
English manager and French maitre
d'hotel.
one reason the restaurants in New
York compare so badly with those of
London and Paris Is in the fact that
too much Is attempted.
Today the menu of our leading west
end restaurant rarely contains more
than fifty dishes, and each days bill of
fare is perfect of its kind. In New
York it would not be difficult to find
a days bill of fare where 400 items are
set out. The menus are like books,
and in consequence, the chefs have too
much work to do, and cannot pay the
attention to an individual dish which
an educated gourmant demands.
Speaking generally Bellamy said,
the quality of game and poultry served
in the hest New York dining places
was inferior to that Of the leading
London restaurants.
A majority of the best American
chickens would not fetch more than
18 pence, or SO cents, each in London

PARIS, Feb. 16.-Few renowned
scientists, generals or statesmen can
boast of as many important decorations
bestowed by home and foreign govern
ments as can Jeanne Granier, a favor
ite Partisan actress. There are not
many occasions on the stage when she
can wear her many medals. But in her
play of this season, THE Education of
a Prince" the leading character is not
the demure village belle in muslin
gown or the adventures in flashy sat-
in, but a queen who rules over some
imaginary realm in eastern Europe. OF
course Nine. Granier takes advantage
of this opportunity to appear in superb
robes, whose corsages fairly glisten
with their wealth of bejeweled orders.

stage in stunning" costumes are Mile.

Got Him Snre.

Cbas Kelson. the sheriff of

morning with James Neibert
charged with stealing a piano
from the Boston Piano Company
of this city. 1t seems that Me.
bert had taken the piano on trial
and had not bought it, also that
he had mortgaged his stock of
horses and cattle and about a year
ago he left Scott county leaving
his wife and family and taking
some, at least. of the mortgaged
property, together with the piano
on which he had paid nothing.
He went from there to southern
OKLA, or the Indian Ty.. and
while there he married again and
secured ABOUT $40 from wife No.
3 also one horse and left her re.
turning to Scott county. A short
time ago wife No2. happened to
find a letter that indicated that he
had a wife near Scott City, fol.
lowed him s..there acquainted the
sheriff with the facts the sheriff
knowing of the piano matter went
out and arrest him. A prelimin-
airy was had and in default of bond
he was brought here and placed in
the Barton County Jail until the
next term of the Scott county
District court. We suppose the
next thing will be an action for
divorce brought by wife No /.
