DELAY ACTION ON
MENLO LICENSE
Despite Agreement of Attorneys.
San Mateo Supervisors POST
pone Case Three Weeks
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

REDWOOD CITY, Nov. 15.-After
listening to speech by George z.
Ross, in which the attorney pointed
out why they should refuse to issue
liquor license to Charles Meyer of
Menlo Park, and after a communication
had been read from District Attorney
Bullock advising them to deny the
application, the supervisors of San
Mateo county today refused to take
any action on the saloonmans ap-
plication and put the matter over until
the next meeting three weeks hence
1t is believed that it was the board S
intention to grant the license, but
Ross statements were so clear and
concise that Chairman McEvoy and his
fellow supervisors were completely
baffied and could only escape by letting
the matter go over. The district at
torney, the attorney for the prohibition
faction and the attorney for the saloon
men had decided upon a mode of pro-
cedure which would carry the matter
straight to the supreme court, and to
carry out this plan it was necessary
that Meyers application be refused
But the board has already granted a
license to one Carleton of Menlo Park
and now it does not care to admit that
it is in the wrong
The civil procedure proposed by the
attorneys on both sides would have
eliminated the criminal actions that
have been brought against the saloon
men in the Justices court The 13 de-
PENDANTS have asked for jury trials,
which means that approximately $50
talesmen will be required to try the
cases All of this trouble and expense
to the county could have been avoided
had the board of supervisors seen fit
to refuse Meyers license.

vision and the crime

DEL MONTE. Nov. 15.-The regular
bimonthly meeting of the jury and
hanging committee of the Del Monte
art gallery was held at Hotel del
Monte November IS, the following
members being present:
Mrs. Mary Curtis Richardson. Miss
Evelyn Mccormick Miss Emily Travis,
win Sparks, Gottardo Piazzoni. DIR.
Arnold Genthe and James King Steele,
secretary.
Although at this season of the year
artists are disposed to keep their work
in their own studios, wnere the chances
of sale are good. many new pictures
were sent in for the committee to pass
upon. OF the whole number submitted
about Is were considered worthy of ac-
ceptance, and in order to hang these to
the best advantage nearly the whole
gallery was rearranged.
Among the works that met with the
approval of the jury, were several of
Gottardo Piazzonis French pastoral
scenes and of L. d. Boranda's studies
in Monterey or along, the Pacific coast.
A canvas by Miss Emily Travis was
accepted. DIR. Arnold Genthe submitted
some new photographs, the most strik-
ing being a moonlight scene of the
sort so often depicted in oil color by
Charles Rollo Peters. The quality of
the gallery is improving steadily, as
the committee is able to hold the
painters and photographers to a con-
siderably more exacting standard than
was possible when this exhibition of
the work of artists of Californian birth
was opened two and a half years ago.
Miss Evelyn Mccormick is engaged
upon two or three of her favorite
studies of the picturesque old build

A 23 pound turnip, record breaking
specimen, was received at the state
board of trade yesterday and caused
not a little trouble for Secretary Nc
Donald. While very anxious to pre-
serve it as an illustration of the fact
that California leads the world in farm
products, he was unable to secure a
'iar of sufficient dimensions to con-
tain 1T, and so the huge turnip, which
measures 80 inches in circumference,
was relegated to the storeroom pending
the production of a jar of hitherto un-
heard of dimensions. The turnip is a
Willis product and was grown by
George S. Ward.
