support it needs.
While financial assistance is needed,
that to my mind is not as much as ii is to
have the assistance of each citizen and
his determination to make Ellsworth
the most beautiful place on earth. With
that spirit prevailing, it can be done;
while without it all the money you could
possibly get together il would not be
done. Most respectfully yours,

BERKELEY, Sept 26.-Eugene Hill

MAYOR is ANXIOUS TO
GET A NEW CITY HALL

Mayor Taylor was enthusiastic yes
terday about the prospect for a new
city hall. We must go right ahead. -
he said There has been enough Of
dawdling and delay. Months ago it
was evident that the old hall would
have TO come down. Personally / be-
lieve that for the plans of the new
city hall we should have an architec-
tural competition The structure will
be of enough moment for that
81 am convinced. too. that a group
of smaller buildings will serve the
city's purpose better than one enor-
nous pile. San Francisco is county
as wei as a city. and it would be well
to have a central courthouse building.
Another building could house the ad-
ministrative boards. etc.
The cost OF sheltering the govern
ment on this scheme would not be
much more than half that OF erecting
a colossal single building BY pur-
chasing land on each side of Marshall
square and opening up the view
toward Market street a group of build
fngs planned in accord with each other
might be made effectual in an archi-
tectural sense as well. But by all
means the thing for US to do is to go
ahead"

OPEN AIR CONCERT
DELIGHTS MANY
Four Thousand Persons Attend
Experimental Affair in the
Greek Theater
StarIit Sky and Balmy Weather
Help in Making the DC.
casion Perfect
BY Waller Anthony

There should be 1000 programs sent
east today by 1000 persons who sat in
comfort and delight last night through
the open air concert given by Paul
Steindorff and his orchestra at the
Greek theater. The California Promo
ton committee is hereby notified of
this evidence of CALIFORNIA; balmy
weather ct the edge of winter time.
and the programs might be used as
souvenirs. to be mailed TO shivering
eastern friends and prospective Cali
fornians.
The big theater under the starless
sky was the center toward which a
multitude crowded to hear an orches-
trail recital of light but artistic music.
And we were comfortable without
overcoats.
The orchestra, under Steindorff, while
rather sparsely settled in certain sec
tions, was in good trim, playing the
program with spirit and Zest. 1t must
be noted that the first affair-that of
last night-was in the nature of an
experiment on the part of the music
committee of the university and on the
part of Paul Steindorff as well. The
question was: would the people buy
seats to hear 2 capable orchestra play
in the Greek theater? Are we fond
enough of music to pay for it-abstract
music, I mean Inc answer was given
last night in a fortissimo affirmative.
The fact is, we will have, it is to be
hoped, a symphony orchestra soon, and
the bandsmen who played last night
should form its nucleus.
It was a varied program that Stein
dorff directed; but it contained enough
10 interest the serious minded musicians,
while lighter numbers were tossed TO
US all. The Barcarolle from "Hoff-
man. was lacking in a harp. but it
was well played and was redeemable.
Flotow's Martha" overture was bet
ter. with its stirring finale in throb-
bing rhythm: Victor Herbert's Ameri-
can Fantasia brought the big audience
to its feet and was demanded again
The Introduction TO the third act OF
"Lohengrin" gave the brasses a chance
and showed great, undeveloped posi-
bilities in the organization, which made
its debut last night.
Miss Lydia Sturtevant sang an aria
from III TTovatore" Annie Laurie
and La Paloma," her fine dramatic
contralto filing the last echo corner
of the big theater.
If the powers that determine the
weather will be kind. the concert mex
Saturday night should be even a great
er success artistically, and the crowC
at least as large 1t could hardly bt
more enthusiastic.

PROBLEM OF TAKING
CARGO UNSOLvED
Riggers Provide Means of Dis
charging Ship That Is
Without Labor
Bark KiIIoran Fast Getting Rid
of Its Big Shipment of
Marble

The British bark Killoran. which ar
rived here September from Europe.
brought as part of its cargo 500 tons
of marble in enormous slabs. the prob
lem of discharging which in reasonable
time had been something of a problem
to the consignees. At Genoa where the
marble was loaded the work had been
done with hydraulic cranes and other
time and labor saving gear which this
port is without In the past marble has
been discharged by means of shear legs
and the process has been slow and ex
pensive- As an. experiment the work of
discharging the Killoran's marble was
turned over TO Smith & Rice, a local
firm of riggers who have solved the
problem so satisfactorily that the Kill
loran is getting rid OF it's awkward
freight at the rate OF 500 tons day
The blocks of marble vary in weight
from eight to 16 tons and they are laid
like a piece of giant mosaic tightly
wedged in the windjammer's lower
hold. To the lay eye they are there for
keeps and with ordinary facilities for
unloading they would be undisturbed
for quite time.
The work is being done with a huge
mast derrick paced on Filbert street
wharf. which towers above the bark's
masthead and with this contrivance
the massive blocks are being lifted
out of the ships hold and gently low
cred on trucks almost as fast as the
trucks can be brought alongside. Under
ordinary circumstances it would have
taken three weeks 10 get the marble
from the Killoran's hold to the wharf.
As it is. the work Will be done in about
four dayS

MRS. RICE TELLS
OF MEETING DAVIS
Says DR.. Rustin introduced Her
to Man and Released Her
From Compact
Her Substitute Was to Do the
Shooting and Then Take
Poison

OMAHA, Neb, Sept. 26.-Mrs. Abbie
B. Rice at the hearing here today of
Charles Edward Davis told of the plans
arranged between DR.. Frederick Rus
tin, the physician recently killed at his
residence here, and Davis. whereby
Davis was to shoot Rustin and then
commit suicide. Objections were made
to nearly half the questions put by the
county attorney. Mrs. Rice. however,
was permitted to say that Rustin told
her he had arranged with q man to
kill him and later she was permitted
to identify this man as Davis. The
state then rested. Counsel for the de-
Tense was given an opportunity TO
cross examine the witness, but this was
deferred until Monday.
Mrs. Rice's story follows:
.Dr. Rustin told me he had secured
e. man to kill him and that 1 was re-
a man who had several times attempted
to take his lac.
THE doctor told me he had arranged
TO have this man do the shooting on
condition that the physician give him
enough poison to take his own life.
He said Davis was to come to the
Office at o'clock that evening. l then
left with the understanding that DR..
Rustin would meet me shortly on the
him on the corner and when DR.. Rus
tin came got on a streetcar going past
his home. He got off near the house
and I went to the end of the line and
then back down town.
by appointment I went to Rustin's
office at o'clock and found Davis
there l stayed only short time. The
doctor sent to the drug store for a
bottle of aconite. He poured half of
it into another bottle, giving me one
portion and putting the other in his
pocket He then told me to go to the
street corner, where he would meet me
shortly. I did so and he came down
on the street with Charles E. Davis
They waited until the first car came
when the doctor put Davis on the car
going west toward his home and then
Joined me. We walked west to within

We talked of his plan. 1 shuddered al

BOSTON AFTER CHASE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
BOSTON, Sept. 26.-President John
S. Taylor of the Boston Red Sox is
working hard to put uniform on Hal
Chase, the seceder from the New York
Americans. Through his own Califor-
MIA connections Taylor is making every
effort to prevent Chase from doing any
thing that would result in his being
blacklisted by the national commission.
He will also be prepared to pay Chase's
fine if one should be imposed for desert
ing the Highlanders during the active
season.
Taylor is very friendly with Frank
Farrell, the New York club owner, and
it is likely that the latter may consent
to Chase's return to major league com
pany. though Boston will have to pay
a good price for him.

claim that an attempt had been made to

Any one who has known Samuel

better than to expect any accurate

misinterpret and misstate and many
times deliberately lie on public ques-
tions.
Now the acts are. neither the
manufacturers association nor the citi-
zens association would give him or
any one else one single five cents to
obtain all the inside information pos
sible regarding the proposed plans of

tions are conducted for the purpose of

tionai rights as citizens to their own
