The San Francisco call., 1910-03-14

Dear Sirs and Brothers: The San
Francis labor council and the build
ing trades council of San Francisco
have endeavored for years through
their membership to secure an ade-
quate and pure water supply for
their homes. Our water supply is
held I'm the control of a corporation
practically enjoying monopoly in
this vital necessity.
In May, 1905, the city secured
grant TO use certain reservoirs In
the Yosemite national park, which
reservoirs had previously been sur
yeyed and set apart by the govern
ment and made available through
the laws of congress. The grant has
been persistently opposed by the
great water and power companies of
the country, who have used the so
called nature lovers to fight the bat
Ties of the corporations. They have
led the people to believe that the
Hetch Hetchy valley is a portion of
the Yosemite valley. This is not
true. The Hetch Hetchy valley lies
about 35 miles to the north of the
Yosemite valley and, i'm place of de-
stroying its natural beauty, its use
as vyater reservoir for San Fran
cisco would greatly enhance even fits
natural beauty.
In November, 1905, bond issue
of s5O0,0O0 was authorized by a vote
of more than six to one, the pro-
ceeds of which have been expended
in purchasing privately held or pat
enfed land I'm the reservoirs and in
the necessary work.
On February Ia last a bond issue
of s45.000,000 for the full develop
ment and utilization of the reservoirs
was passed through our efforts by
a mapority of more than 10 to L. The
secretary of the interior has recently
reopened the matter of the grant, as
you will observe by reading the In

Curator Feels Loss

Il feel the loss of the picture deep
ly,' said Baron yesterday afternoon.
L have only been in charge of the
museum since the first of the month,
and I have taken a deep interest in the
work Of the museum and have tried to
improve il in every way. This crime
comes as a great blow to me. But
can not blame any of the attaches of
the place, for the picture might have
been cut from its frame in a few mo-
ments. and it would have been i'm
possible to have guarded against it un-
less every roo mhad its guard.
The museum was opened yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, and the crime
was committed about Is minutes or
half an hour later.
I am convinced that the thief or
thieves had prepared themselves for
the crime and were absolutely familiar
both with the location of the picture
and the arrangement of the rooms, as
well as with the movements of the en-
ployes OF the museum. II was not COM
mitted on the spur of the moment"

No Burglar Insurance

Millet's shepherd and Flock" was
one of three paintings owned by Miss
Spooner and loaned to the park, which
were valued at $4,000 each The Millet
was insured against fire at that figure,
but there was no burglar insurance to
protect the owner. The other two val
liable pictures are Jules Dupre's ''Twi-
light and Charles Francis Daubigny's
Landscape"
When Curator Baron had been no.
titled of the robbery he called for police
aid. Detectives Dobbins adm De la
Guerra were detailed on the case, but
they accomplished nothing, nor were
any clews found TO indicate the iden-
tity of the robber.
At the time the crime was commit
ted there were in the museum the two
police officers, Mrs. Annie Hook and
Mrs Annie Hughes. care takers; Ed
win Auflnson, the check boy. who was
stationed near the door, and Prof
George Blunt, the taxidermist, who
was working in the upper part of the
building. Curator Baron was in front
of the building talking to Park Com
missioner Bemiss. None could give any
information regarding the crime.

The crime committed. at the park
museum yesterday recalls the famous
crime of the theft of Toby Rosenthars
valuable painting, Elaine" which was
cut from its frame in a Kearny street
place. where it was on exhibition more
than 20 years ago. The picture was
afterward recovered and the thief
served a term in prison. The perpe-
traitor Of that crime is now serving
another sentence in the states prison
for robbery committed in Fillmore
street several years ago.
Another celebrated painting theft
was that of Gainsborough's duchl;s of
Devonshire, which was cut from its
frame in the shop of Agnews, ISnd
street, London, in 1876. 1t was re-
covered five or sir years ago through
the efforts of Patrick Sheedy, the New
York sporting man. J. Pierpont Nor
gan purchased it for S150,O00. Sheedy
also recovered a Corregio, which had
been stolen and held by Raisuli, the
Moroccan bandit.

From Mondays Daily.
The city has raised the sidewalk to

change street. back of the Saulpaugh,
so as to, be above the pavement the
required distance This is a great
improvement, and will bring the street
above the mud in rainy wea Their.
The railroads have not made any
move yet to extend the pavement to
the Minnesota river bridge The street
will look very unfinished unless his IS
done, and this part will be continual
eyesore. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that the road will see 20 it that The
street is paved across their right of
way. The Milwaukee road did the
right thing when Jackson stree1 WAS
paved. and there is no reason why the
Milwaukee and Omaha roads should
not do the same thing on Main street
The people of Mankato ara inte ested
in this and will watch the matter
closely.
