CITY ARCHITECT
MAY LOSE HIS Job
n
,Rumor Assigns Official Head of
Loring P. Rixford to the
{ Chopping Block
Belief Current That Marsden
Manson Will Be Retained
as the Chief Engineer

That City Architect Loring P. Rix-
ford would be about the first man to
lose his official head upon the advent
of the new administration, January 8,
was the generally. expressed opinion in
board of works circles yesterday.
Commissioner Michael Casey. whose
term expires with the incoming of Nc
Carthy as mayor, is slated to reap
pointment and for return to the pres
idency of the board. Casey was op-
posed to Rixfords original selection,
the architect having been appointed by
the affirmative votes of Day and Nc
Gilvray. President Day, 1t is under
stood, has been none too we'll pleased
with Rixford and it Is unlikely that
the two commissioners will seriously
oppose Casey's resolve to get rid of
Rixford
The far more important Office of city
engineer, on account of the Hetch
Hetchy water supply project. the fire
protection system now in process OF In
stallation, the construction of the sew
er system, and the general work of
street rehabilitation, is now held by
Marsden Manson, and Casey with the
other members of the board has af-
forded his department the most steady
support and confidence.
Pledged to the development of the
Sierra water system and the carrying
out of the fire protection and sewer
bond issue projects, the new admin
istration. it was the prevailing opinion
in the works board, would be 10th to
lose Manson, who has been with the
Hetch Hetchy project since its incep-
tion.

Sousa, the March King, Is Here Again With
His Well Trained Band of Musicians
By WALTER ANTHONY

Mimetic John Philip. march king in a
democracy of art and band leader to
their majesties the people,. is here
fanfare of trumpets and crash of
brassy cymbaIs Sousa has come.
The 'lowbrow' who loves his music
in rags is glad, for Sousa remembers
him benignly. The dilettante, who
adores his love for music and takes
it with tremendous seriousness, find
ing red in the trumpet's note, pur-
pie in the horns and pastoral green
in the oboe, is. happy, for Sousa re-
members him likewise and gives him
joy. The pedant who follows after
practice and theories with wrinkled
brow over suspensions and resolutions
he is happy, too. because there's a
counterpart in Sousas marches; and
finally the fellow who loves music be-
cause it hits his backbone and makes
him shiver with ecstasy-he is glad
that Sousa is here, because Sousa is
that kind of a musician. If there's a
man who hath music in his heart or
head or both, Sousa gets him, and so
may he long live and reign the march
king
Sousa is such a genius as Sir Arthur
Sullivan was. He hides profound mas
terry under 1eIcnlnS, brilliant ropes.
He dresses jolly theme with the care
of a classic master clothing a moment
Gus motive He rebukes those who
make good music that doesn't sound
well. and he writes polyphony into his
band. but doesn't brag about it. His
martial music is instinct with rhythm,
brave and spirited. He is never stupid
or tiresome, though his new march. on
yesterday afternoons program, Fair
est of the Fair" is not as worthy as
his other and more familiar marches,
which he graciously presented be-
tween the programmed numbers. Its
theme is more trivial, but the title
suggests its character It is the fair
est of the fair marches. If anybody
else wrote it we would think it better
Sousa has himself handicapped by his
Stars and Stripes Forever" march,
which is pure inspiration.
small audience yesterday after
noon was made up for by a larger
crowd in the evening, and both pro-
grams were greeted enthusiastically.
Lalo's overture. lie Roi D'ys." was

Sousa. The band arrangement, no
doubt Sousa's, was effective and orches-

ILLEGAL VOTING CASES
ARE SET FOR HEARING
Three Men to Appear Before
Police Judges

John Stephenson, who was arrested
election day at the polling booth al
Fourth and Brannan streets on com
plaint of w. ]. Sweigert, assistant dis
trict attorney, for illegal voting, ap-
peared in Police Judge Conlan's court
yesterday and the case was continued
until Saturday. Stephenson registered
from 140 South park, and when chal-
lenged swore that he lived there, which
Sweigert denied.
The case of Frederick Johnson,
charged with attempting to vote ille
gally at the polling booth opposite 635
Washington street. was called in Police
Judge Deasy's court yesterday and con-
tinued until November 10 for prelimi-

The work was interpreted with nobil-
ity and poetry.
Sousa's suite, Looking Upward" has
been heard here before. by the Light
of the Polar Star" is a jingly, jolly
measure, wherein whips crack. the
sleigh runs smooth and the spirit of the
theme is in every bar. Under the
Southern Cross is oriental or Spanish.
with langourous moments and ami
mated ones, where castanets punctuate
pretty waltz movements. An unusual
effect is achieved by the joining of the
tuba, big and deep, to the clicking of
the castanets. Mars and Venus" is a
brave story in tones of the soldier boy
and his little sweetheart. A wonderful
exhibition of what drummer may do
with crescendo is given in this section
of the suite, and Sousas drummer
did it.
Berlioz' "Fugue" and Grand March
from the 'Damnation of Faust an
other Sousa transcription from orches-
ira to band was a splendid and bril-
liant success. He developed the march
theme through the choirs of his band
with consummate skill and energy.
Miss Florence Hardman. the violin
ist with the organization, is welcome
visitor. She is a true artist with a de-
lightfully pretty tone, sympathetic and
round. She played with considerable

Misses Hoyt sang Edward Germans
Come to Arcade a pretty, graceful
number. They gave o. Strauss The
Merry Husband" for an encore. Their
voices are light and pleasing, though
scarcely brilliant enough to strike
through the band accompaniments with
effectiveness.
Herbert Clarke remains the cornet
ssoloist of the band and his command of
that instrument is even surer than be-
fore.

PROBABLE REMAINS OF
FIRE VICTIM DUG UP
Unearth Human Bones and
Skull in Sutter Street Lot

Human bones and a human skull that
are probably the remains of a victim
of the big fire were dug up yesterday
of Sutter street near Stockton.
The coroner's office was notified and
an examination by Autopsy Surgeon
Clark showed the remains to have lain
under the ruins a long time, just how
long could not be ascertained

PLAN TO MAKE MONEY.

Two New York girls are planning to set up breadmaking establish ment, the idea being to make bread with the "bread ball' as starter. They quote Gov. Stubbs as having once said at a club meeting that nothing will bring love into a fam fly like homemade bread on the din- ner table. They plan to have their agents go about and teach women how to make this bread, at the same time to advertise a certain kind of -four and certain make of butter, and think they see fortune in tbe experiment.

BIRDS THE FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature That HabituaIy Does So, Ac-
 cording to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as 1 know every rep tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on the ground when not actually carrying it. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the famingo, which, having only two, and those like will low wands, tucks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on its stem.
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as superfluous. The germ, or bud, must be there, for the Dorking fowl has produced a fifth toe under some in- fuence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls, one is turned backward, and by a cunning contrivance the act of bend- ing the leg draws them all auto- matically together. So hen closes its toes at every step it takes, as if it grasped something and of course when it settles down on its roost they grasp that tight and hold it fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism is only an encum- brance, so many of them, like the plovers, abolish the hind toe entire ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.

SHE WAS GC,NG BATHING.

She was a very pretty girl clad in diaphanous summer gown. She was going to the beach and she didn't care who knew 1t, for she car ried her bathing suit in a most primitive fashion. 1t was simply inclosed in a bath towel and carried by a narrow strap. Shoes, stockings, powder, comb, brush, hairpins and other feminine necessities were not in evidence. Perhaps she dispensed with them. Anyway, she reused the curiosity of a car full of people.

TO ExTERMINATE MOSQUITOES.

Dr. William Tell Kudlich has brought to the notice of the health board of Hoboken, N. J., plan for exterminating the mosquito, which consists in planting mosquito-infest- ed tracts with arzolla. The plant is a native of Africa. In n short time it covers marshy laul with layer three inches thick. thus both sulfo- eating mosquito larvae and prevent ing the living insects from deposlt- ing their eggs in the water.

In process recently patented in Germany for the regeneration of vulcanized india rubber, fragments of old rubber are mixed with from one-tenth to one-ffth their weight of anilin, and the mixture is heated until it becomes fluid.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen, ThymOl, Glycer-

1t really seems strangs that so
many people suffer year in, and year
out with eczema, when It is now no
longer a secret that oil of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine,
etc., makes wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, 1t is true, can
not be cured in a few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and

ing few drops of the wash the rem

There is no need of experiment-the

Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thermol, glycer-
