mans Opportunity to See
Original Canyases

will be the news that Il or 10 of the
most famous canvases of Wilhelm
Funk, the noted artist who stands
with Sargent in the foremost rank Of
New York portrait painters, will be
exhibited in San Francisco this week

several of the most prominent people
in the New York social set, among
them being Mrs. Ernest Wiltsee and
her son, young Burke-Roche, Mrs.
Frank Gould and her children, Sir Cas-
per Burton Clarke, Miss Dorothea
Bigelow and Ann Seton. These pic
lures are coming expressly for this
view from New York. Later this year
they are to be displayed at the Knoed-
Ter galleries in New York. and in De-
cember. by special invitation, the main
hall of the Corcoran gallery in Wash
ington will be given over to the most
complete exhibition of Funks works
ever held in the United States.
FIRST SIGHT OF ORIGINALS
Funk is as we'll known in London as
he is in New York, and while repro
ductions of his paintings have been
seen on this coast this is the first time
the public here has been given the
opportunity of seeing any of the orig
inal canvases. The exhibition will
open Wednesday morning. 1t is TO be
held at Vickery, Atkins & Torry's
new quarters in nSutter street and will
continue for a week.
All the portraits to be displayed are
painted with a master hand and with
the distinctive touch that marks Funk's
work and gives it a charm peculiarly
its own. Some one has styled him the
painter of personality" and a study
of his work will readily explain the

TRIBUNE ANSWERS SUIT
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Says Article About DIR. MoosIin
Was Printed in Good Faith

The Tribune publishing company in
its answer fled yesterday to the S5o,000
libel suit Instituted by DR.. Maurice R.
Mooslin pleaded that the Oakland Trib-
une published the story to the effect
that the physician was guilty Of the
murder of Mrs +. J. Haskins and that
Detectives Riordan and Wren were
searching for him. in good faith, ald in
the belief that il was true.
The story was based upon facts
which the Tribune says were gathered
by q very competent and experienced
and reliable and truthful correspondent.
It is claimed that the correspondent
made diligent inquiry from different
persons before writing his story
Mrs. Haskins died January %, 1909,
and according to the Tribune her death
was the effect OF an Illegal operation
performed by Doctor MOOslin. The
physician had disappeared. it was as
serted. and detectives were searching
for him. The Tribune now denies that
these statements were Hbelous or de-
famatory and denies that they brought
disgrace or loss upon the plaintiff.

larly strong picture, and one THAT
shows Hittell at his best.
Ferdinand Burgdorff, who has been
spending a few days in town, has re-
turned to his studio in Carmel, and
has settled down to work. He has been
painting in his attractive studio there
for the last two months, and as a re-
suit there are seven or eight beauti-
full oil scenes of his on view at Wick
ery's.
Last October, in company with Fer
dinand Lundgren, the Santa Barbara
artist, Burgdorff took a months "trip
across the Painted Desert" in Arizona
and through the Taye and Del Muertc
canyons. The journey was taken leis-
urely, with wagon and team, and
the Navajo Indians of that quarter
treated them kindly. AS a result OF
this trip, Burgdorff has been doing
some splendid work in a new key, and
his canvases are creating favorable
comment in the world of art
One of the most fascinating of his
pictures, now on view, he has called
Sunshine and Wind" 1t is scene
near Laguna, N. NJ, and is painted In
the brightest kind of desert sunlight
1t represents a scene of Indians at rest
on the porch of an adobe house at the
noontfde hour The ssdobe is of the
pinkish white variety seen in that re-
gion, which in the midday glare is very
brilliant The sunlit plains and the
dazzling light effect destroy, or rather
absorb, the shadows, which as a rule
in the desert are very positive. This
effect the artist has brought out ex-
quisitely, the only dark spot in the
picture being the blue black hair OF
the Indians This painting will only BIZ
on vew a few days, as it is to be SEN
on later to the Grand canyon.
Another of his most attractive scene,
is his Eucalyptus Walk" 1t is a scene
of eucalyptus trees over a leaf strewr
walk, on which the brown and rec
leaves of summers growth are mix
ture of gold and bronze. The ligh-
pervading the picture is that of lat.
afternoon, coloring the hazy atmos
phere of fog to a delicate lavender.

PICTURES SHOW CHARACTER

Funk goes beneath the mask of
everyday life and catches the under
lying expressions that the world does
not always see. There is an amusing
little story which Funk himself tells.
He was painting a very beautiful
woman of the fashionable New York
set, and one day, after hours of tedi-
Gus sitting with no results, the lady
grew weary. We'll, what do you
want?" she exclaimed, springing to her
feet.
Just what you are doing, madam
forgetting yourself. and showing a
quality of fire and strength which dom
mates your character" and the work
of the portrait progressed satisfactor-
lily for them both.
WORK VITALITY HUMAN
Funk had caught beneath the cold
exterior shown to her world the
woman's real self, and he painted the
two personalities into his picture.
This explains the charm of his work
apart from the graceful poses and the
trueness of execution. He studies the
character as he paints and to many
critics his work is more vitally human
and real than even that of the great
Sargent.
Funk has been out here for about q
month as the guest of Mr. and Mrs
Frank Powers, at their home in Car
mel. Most of his time he has spent a.
the easel. AT present he is engaged or
portrait of Mrs. Powers, which /:
also to be exhibited this week. He
expects to return to New York the first
week of November.

PLAN TO ABOLISH

There is a general disposition among
lawyers favorable to the plan TO abolish
the United States Circuit Court which. 1t
is said, the Congressional Committee on
Revision of Laws will incorporate in its
report to accompany the next volume Of
codified laws to be presented to Congress.
The first volume of codihed laws, cover
ing the penal statutes of the United States
has Just been issued. The succeeding
volume will comprise the laws relating to
the judiciary, and include those statutes
relating to civil rights, labor, injunct on
and sociaistic legislation.
In place Of the Circuit Court, it is pro-
posed to have a Circuit Court Of Appeals,
thus throwing upon the District Court the
work now divided between the Circuit and
District Courts. The change, II is claimed
would not reduce the number Of Federal
Judges. but, in some districts might in
crease the number The change, it Is be-
lieved, would make procedure simpler
