SAVES LIFE But
LOSES HER HOME
Miss Grace Wishaar Forced by
Flames to Leap From VIM
dow TO the Ground

OAKLAND, July Cropping her way
through flames and smoke which awak-
ened her from sleep early this morn
ing. Grace n. Wishaar. scene artist OF
Ye Liberty playhouse, reached win
dow of her room and jumped to the
ground to escape death. Her handsome
home at Folkers and Lake Shore ave-
nues. Piedmont, was burned to the
ground.
The fire was caused by a defective
CRATE. Goals had been left smolder-
ing in it, and about o'clock this
morning the blaze broke out. All in
the house were asleep. Before the
alarm was given the house was filed
with smoke. and much of it was in
flames. Miss Wishaar was in a room
upstairs. She was awakened by the
smoke pouring into the room, and had
just time to get away in safety. A
few minutes after she had made her
hasty way out of the house it was all
in flames.
The house was worth $4,000 and had.
besides valuable furniture. a collec-
tion of paintings that were of greater
value than the house itself. All of
these were lost, though some of the
neighbors made efforts 20 save them.
Owing to the fact that Piedmont has
no fire protection, nothing could be
done to save Miss Wishaar's home. The
Oakland fire department was telephoned
TO, but an alarm in Oakland kept the
department busy. A small fire at the
Empire foundry at Third and Broad
way was the occasion of the Oakland
alarm. AS soon as it was seen that this
fire was not serious two engines We're
sent to the Wishaar home in Piedmont.
1t was necessary to lay $500 feet
of hose to reach the blaze, and before
this could be done the fire had spent
itself, leaving the house in ruins.
With Miss Wishaar in the house
were her mother, Mrs. NJ. I. Wishaar
brother, Louis Wishaar. and Carroll
Peete.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL is
AMONG THE MISSING
Miss Wilma Snow Disappears
and Police Search in Vain

BERKELEY, July 2.-Telling Mrs. G..
L. Bair of 231S Grove street that she
was going to see her cousin, Wilma
Snow. a II year old girl who had been
making her home in this city for the
last four months, left the home OF her
employer June q, and has not been
seen since that night, when friend, A.
NJ Scott a letter carrier of Addison
and Grove streets, saw her In Idora
park with two young women friends.
The girl Is large and handsome, and
her father, H. B. Snow, carpenter of
Santa Clara, Is fearful that she has
met with harm.
Added to the mystery is the fact that
she is said to have been engaged to
Harry Williams, prominent young
man of Woodland. The girl, however,
regularly correspondent with Otto M.
Baum and John f. Kakasha, both or the
hospital corps of the army, stationed In
the Preside OF San Francisco.
At the home of Mrs. Blair, where
Miss Snow had been employed as a
servant for the last two months, the
statement was made that the girl left
rather suddenly. as she wore her old
clothes instead of the new dresses she
had secured lately.
The family is unable to account for
her mysterious disappearance. but adj
NIT that there may be man in the
case, as the young woman was popular.
The police believe that she will turn up
at her home in a few days and are not
alarmed that she has met with foul
play.
Miss Snow is only II years of age
and has large brown eyes and is large
and we'll proportioned for her age. She
is of refined appearance.

Berkeley Chamber of Commerce
Continues Campaign for Gov
eminent Tree Planting

BERKELEY, July 2.-United States
Senator Perkins has written a letter
to the chamber of commerce of this city
commencing the effort of that organi-
cation to reforest the islands in San
Francisco bay.
Perkins took up the matter with AS
sociate Forester Allan F. Price. who
mailed the following letter, which has
peen turned over to the local chamber:
Your letter TO Mr.. Pinchot. chief of the for
estry service. inclosing copy of the resolutions
OF the Berkeley chamber Of commerce. is re-
ceived In his absence from the office. am very
much interested in the plan Of the chamber OF
commerce, and am referring your letter, to-
sether with the resolutions. TO the district for
ester at San Francisco. with the request that he
take up the matter directly with the chamber of
commerce and with the commanding officer of
the department of the Pacific since / under
STAND the Islands are under the jurisdiction of
the war department. 1 am sure the district
forester VIII appreciate, as do, your recon
mendation In the matter and be very glad to
help In any way he can.
! Commandant EberIe of the naval sta
ton at Yerba Buena (Goat) island has
sent formal invitation for the dfrec-
tors OF the chamber of commerce to
visit the island and make an inspection
of the work of foresting already ac-
complished and TO obtain information
that may be of service in offering sug-
gestions to the proper authorities In
the matter of extending the work.
The navy department is active in
planting trees over the area controlled
by that department, but the war de-
partment and the treasury department,
! each having charge of part or the
island, have done nothing in this re-
gard, but it is expected that they will
soon take an interest, now that their
attention has been drawn to the plan
submitted by the Berkeley chamber of
commerce.

MAKES A DEFENSE
OF NUDE IN ART
Prof. F. M. Clapp, Florentine
Student and Lecturer, Decries
Drapery in Painting

BERKELEY. July 2.-That art fnds
in the nude its greatest possibilities for
achievement and expression was the
statement made this afternoon by Prof.
Frederick Mortimer Clapp before an
audience which filled the large assem-
bly, room in California hall to attend
the daily art lecture. Following, as 1t
did, upon the heels of the war now be-
ing waged in San Francisco over the
degree of modesty which may prevail
in the nude, Professor Clapp's address
aroused interest among the audience.
Professor Clapp is staff lecturer at
the University of Chicago, and Is at
present special lecturer on art at the
summer session of the university. For
six or eight years he has spent con-
siderable of his time in the study OF
art in Florence, Milan, Rome and other
cities of the continent
The lecture delivered this afternoon
was the seventh of a series dealing
with Italian art. In throwing upon the
stereopticon screen a reproduction or a
Masaccio nude, Professor Clapp said:
This figure shows the first attempt
of the Italian artists to represent feel
ing or emotion in the nude, and on this
account SldnoS punt o1 ucPoA hNA -
all future nude art. The human body
in painting gives the opportunity OF
conveying the most direct message from
the master artist to the spectator.
I'VE are human beings and our bodies
are all important from the artistic
standpoint, since in their mobility they
portray quickest and most sincerely the
stream of emotion.
CLOTHES are only of value in art in sc
far as they convey an impression OF
what is beneath them and in second
airy manner In other words, they are
an impeachment to art"
