STRUGGLE BETWEEN

Embarrassed JaiIers Finally
Blanket Nude Woman
Especial Dispatch to The Call

LARKSPUR, Aug 19.-Bare footed
and carrying pet chicken on her
shoulder, Lottie Foltz, an ark dweller of
Greenbrae, startled the citizens here
this morning by parading the streets
and declaring that she was Pocahontas
on the warpath.
She was taken into custody by Dep
uty Constable E. l.. Doherty and lodged
in the county jail at San Rafael. When
Deputy Sheriff George Agnew and
Peter Crane visited her cell in response
to her cries they were forced to turn
away to conceal their official embar-
rassment
Laboring under the belief that she is
an Indian princess Lottie had garbed
herself accordingly, and as neither
Crane nor Agnew possesses the artistic
sense in its fullest development they
could not appreciate the surprise which
she had prepared.
"She will catch cold,' said Agnew
with averted face. you had better
help her on with a blanket or some
thing"
Crane. with his back to the door,
blushed like a school girl. Il don't
know anything about Indians, and be-

The two deputies stood hesitating be-
tween modesty and duty for several
minutes, but finally Cranes heart soft
ened, and he assumed the responsible

Arrested as "a Short

"The mysterious Mr.. Raffies' of the
San Francisco Chronicle made an un-

appearance last night at 64 Eddy street,
which. by the way, also happens to be
the central police station. He did not
brush shoulders with the captain of de-

door, as he claims to have done on q
former occasion, but instead, he was
somewhat unceremoniously detained.
The Chronicle has not come forward
with the reward of $500 for the capture
but the police nevertheless entertain a
suspicion that an offer equally large.

Explains His Meaning

So the question arises naturally Has
religion produced the greatest music?
1t depends, according to Farwell how
one defines religion.
THAT is why" said he yesterday, .I
used the term in my reply to Doctor
Evans, religion, formal or otherwise
Beethovens Fifth Symphony is much
more religious than an anthem by
Danks or quartet by Dudley Buck.
Tschaikowsky's symphony Pathetiaue'
is more religious than hymn tune by
Charles Gabriel. or e. o. Excel.
s.At present the churches are adj
dicted to stuff, mainly. Much Of the
music is nearly blasphemous. The rit-
.ualistic music of the Episcopal church
is frequently dry. prim and uninterest-
ingly correct.
There is no great music coming out
of the churches now. That is fact.
Handel, Haydn, Bach are not writing
any more. Such inspirational music as
the world listens to these days is not a
part of the churchs contribution to
art, That's what / meant when said
that for inspiration in music we must
seek the grove these. days. I did not
mean necessarily the grove near
Guerneville, but any groves where ma
ture is to be found and loved

Reply to Clergyman

This is Farwell's reply,
I regret that there should have been an error
in the expression of my meaning in the article
referred to- Taken without the context quota
tion. even when made with strict accuracy, often
fails to convey the exact meaning intended.
Religion formal or otherwise. always has pro-
duced. and probably always will produce the
greatest expressions in music and art generally.
The greater and more universal the religion the
greater the art arising from it.. A moderate
sized lake not produce as large fish as the
ocean, and specialized and somewhat isolated
sect can not produce the art which great
racially or nationally unified religion can produce.
Dr. Eliot is limiting in the right direction.
When the broad and simple spiritual truths un-
DERIVING the national life find expression in the
great American religion to be, and which will
not be far from the heart of Christianity re-
lgion will again produce great music

Farwell recently returned from Bo.

with the wonders OF the music which
was there presented by the composer
Wallace A Sabin, said some things
about modern music, sacred and secu-

clergyman, who demands to know
whether Farwell did, as matter OF
fact, say: There is no inspiring infiu-
ence in the churches to make great
music; but in the grove-there you fine

Farwell talked, and perhaps he said
what was attributed to him. He doesn't
deny that he did, but-weIl, this is the

saw NJ Dnmanset in an Antoinette
monoplane approaching at right angles
and on the same level with him. Cur

plane. His machine instantly shot up
ward and scared safely over the
Frenchman.
Spectators watched the maneuver
with abated breath, but when they saw
it was successfully and brilliantly
carried out they applauded the Ameri-
can wildly. The third machine in the
air at this time was that of Nj.

Experts tonight were agreed that
Curtiss had made a fine demonstration
of his skill and ability to control his
machine. They declare that his BIZ

Admits Cudahy Is Iii

Miss Amy Brewer, sister of his
fiancee, freely admitted that there was
a grave danger of Cudahy falling VIC
tim to tuberculosis.
ut has not been definitely decided by
the physicians whether he is suffering
from tuberculosis" she said. THE en-
gagement, however, will not be broken,
and from all accounts we expect Mr..
Cudahy to regain his health in a very
short time. Owing to his health the
wedding has to be postponed, and for
the same reason it is indefinite as to
when it will take place. Under the cir
cumstances it was considered the wisest
policy to postpone the wedding. Every
one interested in it agreed to such a
course
Mrs. Jack Casserly, a sister of Cudahy
emphatically denied that her brother
was suffering from a tubercular bone
in the heel She said that his ailment
was what it was first given out to be-
bad attack of grip.
With Cudahy on the ranch near San
Diego are his sister and Miss Nora
Brewer.

Engagement to Be Broken ii
Doctors Decide Youth Has
White Plague

Is the engagement of Miss Nora
Brewer to Edward J. Cudahy Jr., son
of the millionaire packer, to be broken?
Despite the assertions of the rela-
tives of thesyoung couple TO the con-
trary, society has all but given up
hope of ever attending what was going
to be one of the most notable we'd
dings of the year. 1t developed yes
terday that "the attack of grip" which
necessitated a postponement of the
event has turned out to be far more
serious ailment, and there is the grav-
est danger of the young millionaire
becoming a tuberculosis victim. The
fact was not known until few days
before the date set for the wedding,
when Cudahy was found to be suffer-
ing from what was thought to be a
tubercular bone in the heel No sooner
did Cudahy pere hear the news than
he commanded his son to postpone the
wedding. The groom to be was hur-
ried to a ranch near San Diego. where
he is at present. A coterie of eminent
physicians gathered around him and
the only ray of hope is that they have
some doubts as to whether or not their
patient is victim of tuberculosis.

May Prevent Marriage

Should their ultimate decision prove
their fears. there is but little possi-
biIity of the marriage taking place.
Cudahy Sr. showed by his peremptory
orders to postpone it that he holds
strong views on the subject. and, under
the circumstances, the others interested
in the affair will. in all probability,
agree with him.
The discovery was as much sur
prise to the young millionaire as to the
others. His health was good until
after a long walk, from San Mateo to
Santa Cruz, which he took with a
party of his friends recently. In the
party with him was his fiancee, Miss
Nora Brewer; Miss Amy Brewer, Frank
Brewer, William Ronaldson and Mr.
and Mrs. Duplessis Beylard. The walk
lasted three days and at its conclusion
Cudahy began to suffer. At first it
was believed that the ailment was
nothing more or less than strain
produced by the walk, but later de-
yelopments showed that he had the
symptoms of a tubercular bone in the
heel

horseback. AS they drew near Ma
jor Lee refined up his horse and asked
the lieutenant If Ii" did not know
that he was disoboying orders. His
tone was sharp and angry. Mcclellan
answered that he was not aware of
any disobedience and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. Lee replied that all officers
had been told to remain in their quar-
tiers, awaiting orders, and asked for
the lieutenant's namn.
Mcclellan gave his name and said
that no order of that kind had reached
him. But Lee in d peremptory tone
ordered him to go to his quarters and
remain there. Then he rode off and
rejoined General Scott and the staff,
who had not stopped. Mcclellan went
to his quarters. as he had been directed
to do, but was quito indignant at the
way III which Lee had treated him, for
he had not knowingly committed a
