APARTMENTS STIRRED
BY PECULIAR NOISE

A sound similar TO a pistol shot
emanated from the upper floor of the
Winton apartment house in O'Farrell
street between Taylor and Jones yes
terday morning at 2 o'clock. Mrs.
Taught, the landlady, asked James
Lawrence, a capitalist living at the
house, to investigate. and he did
through the proxy of Policeman Quinn,
summoned from the central police sta
ton.
On the top floor Quinn found e. w.
Mishaw. craftsman in the en-
plov of the Southern Pacific company.
and his wife. Mishaw was sure that
no pistol had been discharged. In
slamming door an alarm clock had
become alarmed and toppled off the
shelf, he said. That made the noise.
Both Mrs. Taught and Lawrence de-
clared that the peculiar sound they
heard could not have been made by a
clock no matter how far it had fallen.
They recited tale of a quarrel on
the top floor.
But Policeman Quinn took his way
back to the station and the Winton
apartment house went to sleep.

EXCLUSION LEAGUE
BRANDS HERRIN MACHINE

The Japanese Korean exclusion league
took steps yesterday to cast its strength
against the machine of William F. Her
rim. At a meeting which was occupied
chiefly with the making of bitter
speeches against the Southern Pacific
attorney it was decided to investigate
the legislation regarding Asiatics which
had been proposed during the last year
by California congressman, styled by
the speakers Herrin puppets. COM
mittee to that effect was appointed and
was ordered to report at the league S
next meeting. AT that time definite ac-
tion will be taken.
According to the speakers more than
1000 petitions sent to congress by citi-
zens of the coast protesting against the
Japanese had been misplaced.
Congressman Kahn was the most Bit
terly scored. Senator Perkins and Con-
gressman Hayes came in for their share
but speakers arose to defend each of
the latter. Among those who accused
Kahn of bowling to the will of Herrin
against the interests of those he had
been chosen to represent We're Andrew
Furuseth. j. Richardson. A Specknitz
George Benham, J. Kilday and Henry
l.. Bienfield.
The recent agitation against the Ko-
reans in the public school of Sausalito
called for much favorable comment
from the delegates to the league. A
resolution commencing the action OF
the Sausalito trustees and extending
them the support of the league was
proposed. But the matter was consid-
cred out of the jurisdiction of the
league and the resolution was tabled
and the question referred to the execu-
tive committee.

ABSENCE OF PARK BAND
DISAPPOINTS THOUSANDS

The thousands of persons who were
attracted to Golden Gate park yester-
day by the sunshine were keenly dis
appointed when they learned that there
was to be no band concert. The
United Railroads discontinued the con-
certs, believing that the traffic to and
from San Francisco's natural beauty
park would not be decreased thereby.
The seats in front of the music stand
were not occupied, but a majority OF
the visitors spent their time in walking
through the beautiful avenues and Wis
iting the many places of interest.
Fully 1000 visitors passed through
the turnstile at the museum of natural
history and art, and the conservatory
also was visited by several hundred.
Many donations were made to the
museum of natural history last week.
Among those who con ntributed to the
already large collection were: Pa
trolman Clark of the park police, who
gave an excellent specimen of the
Cooper's hawk; Louise Schneider.
whose gift was a plumage of the black
wood grouse, much worn by the Tyro-
lese peasants. A large number of birds
from the Celebes islands and from Cen
trail America. purchased by the late
Professor Gruber from the Walter Bry-
ant collection, have been given to the
museum and are being mounted.

MORAL OF UNION PRINCIPLE

Hamilton square Baptist church
listened to a talk by Will J. French.
ex-president of the San Francisco labor
council. yesterday, in which a close
parallel was drawn between the aims
of the church and the union. French
said:
At times hears both the church and
the union severely criticised. There is one
thing sure: the trade union vigorously com
bats the theory that woman snd child must
toll; that the tenement house must thrive,
and that men may be considered much
merchandise to be battered in open market.
The church says ~''love thy neighbor thy
self; the union puts it, help the other
fellow" Let those who biased against
the labor movement appreciate the stupendous
problem which 1t presents. 1t Is impossible
to settle 1t by any policy of negation by
closing the eyes to patent facts. The unio,'
welcomes fair criticism, but il resents the
opposition that comes from greed.

BUSY MERCHANT

A. w. Gregg Proves That One
Can Be Artistic, Yet Re-

RECENT WORKS EFFECTIVE
HAS THREE SKETCHES ON Elk

Mr. A w Gregg. one of the propri-

While Mr.. Gregg has been exhibiting
pictures for the last seven years in

tied in some of the metropolitan cities
of the east, few people are aware of
the achievement he has attained in
the line of art.
He has in the east window of the
Starr Piano COmpany's ROOM an in
teresting and affective display of
some of his recent works. This collec-
ton is made up of three pictures,
which show that he has made vast
strides in his art in the past year.

of color. The three canvases shown
here are notable for tonal qualities,
one of these pictures. called Candle
Light, shows a candle burning, the
light Pickering across an old leather
worn book. This picture is remark
ably handled and shows a depth of
feeling and pains taking execution
that is admirable; the other larger

interior of a wagon shop in one of our
nearby villages. with the work bench
and tools of all kinds. The old paint

floor covered with shavings, the sun

This is a clever piece of work and
shows a strong ability in the feeling
for teChnic that is worthy the view
ing many tirses
Mr.. Gregg eXcels in texture, quail
ity in which many artists are lacking.
The other one of these three pictures
is partly over turned basket of
oranges. This picture is a very strik-
ing example of how color can be han
died. The fidelity with which he has
presented the form united with the
breadth of handling, has produced a
remarkable realistic effect
