GREEN ENVY OF
VERDANT PAINT
Madison's Injunction Suit Is
Laughed AT by Architect
Edgar Matthews

Eaves in light, atmospheric green:
walls of creamy gray sanded plaster;
dormer windows in antique French de-
sign and a porch arched by sweep
ing. sloping roof-these architectural
fancies which adorn the country home
in san Rafael of Frank Madison. San
Francisco attorney and cIubman. and
which lie cherishes so dearly that he
has gone TO court to prevent their being
duplicated in any other house OF the
neighborhooo, have become the stand
ing joke of the fashionable suburb.
according 10 Architect Edgar Mat
thews. the defendant IN Madisons suit
.'Tn laugh il out OF court" said
Matthews OF the suit yesterday. Mad
ison has been so enraptured OF his
house since IL was built he has laid
awake nights worrying for fear some
on would use some of the ideas 1 put
into the house and which he has the
notion are his. He has been very
tragic about il all. 1t has come TO be
ite comic jest is for one resident 10
warn another that he had better not
build z duplicate bay window or he
would find himself IN the tolls of the
law.
Incidentally. a part which is not
quite so funny to me is that despite
all his frantic fight for the plans OF
for the plans. He owes me $1.25o-
But half the joke seems to be on
me that my selling talk TO Madison
when 1 induced him TO adopt my plans
should have been such a boomerang.
When he first came to me he wanted
a single house. but told him shin
gle house was too common for man
of his esthetic taste, and I vividly pic
tured the beauties OF the kind of house
later built for him. There was moth
ing new or unique in the house-sim-
ply a changed combination OF the ele-
ments I use in nearly all my work,
but Madison became so enthused over
the house that he thought he had
something the like of which there was
nauxht in the wide world. AS a mat
ter of fact. I built a house almost ex-
actly similar in San Francisco several
years ago-but Madison doesn't know
that
His complaint, asking for an in
junction, is the funniest, though, said
Matthews with a laugh He seems tc
think he even has copyright or
green paint Listen TO this:
The outside mill work OF platntns saic
dwelling Is painted green and plaintiff is in
formed and believes. and upon such Information
and belief states. that the defendants intend
TO paint with green paint the outside MIL WorL
Of said dwelling.
And see how he is suffering II
wounded pride and feelings:
The damage resulting to plaintiff as aforesaid
wiz be more than 5000. but no pecuniar.
ccmpensntion would afford adequate 10 plaintiff
for bis damages in the premises.

HALF MILLION IS
STOLEN IN MAILS
London Reports Loss of Postal
Bags Containing S500.000
During Transit

LONDON, April 2e.-The London
postal authorities have learned that two
bags of mail from this city containing
securities and other valuabIes worth
100000 were stolen in New York dur
ing the latter part of March. Accord
ing to the reports received here. one
of the bags was destined for st. Louis
and was shipped by the Majestic. which
arrived in New York on March 26; the
other destined for Brooklyn, was
shipped by the steamer Quila, which
bags disappeared in transit between
the steamers and the postoffice. 1t is
stated that they were handed over to
the mail boats and receipted for. Ef-
fort has been made to keep the theft a
secret while the investigation is go-
ing on.
NEW YORK. April 26.-Postal au-
thorities in this city tonight professed
to know little about the loss as re-
ported. Postmaster Edward NJ. Nor
gan and Postal Inspector Walter S
Mayer both stated tonight that there
had been no complaint or inquiries, and
they thought it impossible for $500, 000
worth of securities and other property
to disappear without complaint being
received.
Postal Inspector Mayer said that fl
was true that a couple of mailbags
which should have arrived here late
in March were missing and as yet unac-
counted for, but the authorities here
were inclined to believe that the abb
sence OF the bags was due to an error
He said he thought they had probably
been wrongly labeled.

any great propaganda must necessarily
come from organized forces, and not
from the impetus given by individuals.
DIR. Peixotto declared her belief that

fact that the greatest amount of good
would be obtained by close adherence
to the demands of law and order rather
than by creating an uproar about an
indefinite aim.

Greek Letter NTen.

Forty-five Greek letter fraternity members last night took the initiative in the establishment of national or ganization of Greek letter fraternity members. to include residents oi Canada, Cuba and the tributary coun- tries under the United States flag.
 They also voted to organize local association as part of the proposed na- tional organisation and directed the appointment of a committee on organi- zation to consist of one member of each fraternity represented with Hon. W. A. Blount, who presided as chairman of the committee.
 This was the outcome of the Greek letter outing. the action cited being taken on motion of c. A. Waterman in behalf of the Alpha Tau Omega fra ternity.
 The outing was the outgrowth of a chance meeting of five fraternity men a few nights ago in the Osceola Club. They belonged to different fraternities. projected an outing to Santa Rosa Is- land and organized it under the chair manship of E. S. Roberts. Theta Delta Chi. The other four members of the committee of arrangements were A Nj. Tvery, Jr.. Pi Kappa Alpha; Paymaster Bull, U S. N. Belta Tau Delta; John Wheatley, Chi Phi; H. M. Young. Pt Kappa Alpha.
