BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES
IN CADENASSO EXHIBIT
AIIuring Canvases From Brush
of Local Artist

There are 80 or 40 exceptionally
strong landscapes in oils and pastels
hung in the Cadenasso exhibition, which
opened yesterday morning at the ar
fists studio in Lincoln street. Notable
among the many good scenes he has
been working up since his summer trips
in the counties across the bay are his
prize winning scenes from the Alaska
yukon exposition, which secured for
him gold medal.
The principal of these is entitled
Autumn" It is warm canvas in
spite of the heavy gray clouds, for the
tints in grass and trees and in the quiet
foreground pool are rich with the color
ing of the season.
Sunset Glow in shades of golden
brown, is beautiful. The golden sky
is swept with orange gold clouds, which
find their reflection in the water, and
in the warm high lights on the trees.
winter Sunrise" is also among the
best because of the flaming light which
is reddening the whole skyline and
bringing into warmth and light the
dark shadows of the lingering night.
This view will continue for two
weeks, during which the artists studio
will be open to the general public.

WANTS HOSPITAL
NEARER OAKLAND
Supervisor Mullins Raises Issue
of Consolidated City and
County Government

OAKLAND, Dec. 20.-Opposition to
the plan to construct the new county
hospital on the site now occupied by
the county infirmary was manifested
this morning by Supervisor Mullins
who insisted that it would be better to
erect the hospital nearer the city OF
Oakland. Mullins declared that he had
in mind the possibility of a consoli-
dated city and county government, OF
which Oakland would be the principal
part. and he questioned the adyisability
of authorizing the expenditure of a
large sum of money on a site that will
be outside of the consolidated city
and county as now planned
Mullins said, however, that he was
not opposed to the building of the hos
pital, and that he believed a new hos
pital to be a necessity.
Supervisor Horner said after the
meeting Of the supervisors that the
hospital would probably cost nearer
$3.50, 600 than 100000, and that the
funds would be provided out of the
tax levy of successive years and not
by bond issue.
Mullins urged the erection of a sep
arate cottage for tuberculosis patients
at the infirmary. He offered plans
which were referred to the hospital
committee. In support of his argu-
ment for hospital neareraOakland he
said that the institution would be of
much greater good to patients there, as
II would enable its clinics to be at
tended by large number of sur
geons
The supervisors authorized the pur-
chase of is acres of land adjoining the
present site of the infirmary from E. ]
le Breton for $1O,120.

admitted, a pain that had attacked him
before he went to Bermuda month ago,
and returned as he neared New York.

this world is DONE" he said sadly. I
shall write no more works. attempt no
more lectures or new work. l have half
a dozen unfinished books that 1 have
hardly touched in three years. Among
them is my autobiography, of which
100000 words have been written. There
are still 100000 to write"
do you approve Of woman's suf-
frage2" he was asked.
For so years have advocated it, he
replied, with great seriousness.
But the militant sufragettes: do you
approve of them and their methodist"
Freedom is not won without a hard
fight" he replied, "and many of the
women leading in this question of votes
for women have found 1T necessary to
fight / approve of their lighting"
Have the suffrag cites asked you to
lecture in their behalf?"
"Often, very often" he replied.
Clemens was met at the pier by his
daughter, Miss Jean Clemens and by
Mrs. Martin W. Littleton. He went in g.

calculated. would take later trains.
His wife and his sister in law, Mrs.
J. ID. Hall, had a long interview with
him yesterday Afternoon, at which the
farewells were spoken. De Lancey
seemed reconciled to his fate. AS he
left the county Jail today he said that
he was glad TO begin serving his SEN

came from the estate of A. l. Pound
stone. a civil war veteran, and which

expense and Flood pocketed the money.
Flood confessed to this forgery and
TO completely with other defslcations
while he was clerk and John s. de Ian
cey was attorney for Gray. His testi-
money was used in the trial Of De Lam
cey.
owing to the fact that Flood was a
witness in the De Lancey case, his trial

tion against him when he took the
stand.
