INDIAN PICTURES
PLEASE ART LOVERS
Collection of Oil Paintings Placed
on Exhibition by Mrs.
Alice Coutts
Quaint and Picturesque Side
of Red Mems Life Is
Depicted

Prior to her departure for Australia
where she will spend the coming six
months, Mrs. Alice Coutts, wife of
Gordon Coutts a we'll known artist, has
placed on view at the Gump galleries
in Post street 13 of her later paintings.
revealing the quaint and picturesque
side of the life of the Indians of Ari-
zona and northern California.
The exhibition is in every sense OF
the word a splendid one. Her work
betrays not only the faithful portraya al
Of her Indian subjects in delfght1ul
poses that show them at their best,
but also a keen appreciation of the
beauties of nature, an appreciation that
she has worked up with wealth of
detail that is marvellous. For many OF
these studies Mrs. Coutts went into the
woods of the northern part of the state
and camped near the Indian towns. An
Indian maid bringing water from the
stream, little basket maker at work,
child basking in the sun, or sleeping
on a shawl of varied hued plaids, would
all appeal to her genius. Her sojourn
among the Hopi Indians of Arizona also
proved a pleasing theme for her brush,
and these. the most primitive type of
the race to be found in the states, she
has worked into some of her most
charming pictures.
Quite the most delightful of the
number on view is her Young Hunt
ers. 1t is a painting of a young
puppy, all paddy paws and Topping
ears, straining his every muscle to
reach a solemn green frog hopping
sedately along in the dust. A small,
chubby fat arm. belonging to a no less
plump and chubby child with a face
radiating unmitigated joy, is holding
him back, the whole canvas expressing
a youth and a n exuberance of JOY that
is charming.
AS in the Days of Old" is considered
10 be one of the best Sh display 1t
represents weather beaten old hunter,
with MS hardened, wrinkled face, raw
aged by time and hard labor, teaching
his young son to handle the bow and
arrow. The contrast of the two figures.

PRUSSIAN ELECTION
REFORM DEBATED
Socialist Deputies Cries of
Shame" Interrupt
Chancellor

BERLIN. Feb 1o.-The debate on
the Prussian election reform bill was
begun in the diet today. The authori-
ties, anticipating a great socialist dem
onstration outside the chamber, took
the precaution of surrounding the
building with a strong Gordon of po-
lice, but the demonstration did not
materialize owing to a heavy snow
storm.
When Chancellor Bothman Won Holl-
veg arose to make the opening speech
on the new measure he was received
by the socialist deputies with cries OF
"Shamei"
The uproar continued for some min
utes, the conservatives replying with
shouts of Put them out"
that the bill had been brought in only
to fulfill the promise in the speech
from the throne in 1908, and said thai
promise expressed the earnest purpose
of the king of Prussia.
He added that the only hope of the
socialists was to undermine the Prus-
sian state through the means of d
democratic suffrage law.
The state and government" he said
does not permit itself to be influenced
bv public clamor. Tricks to secure
popularity are far beneath it."
AS the chancellor proceeded to de-
fend the present electoral system he
was frequently interrupted by the So
cialists. The latter announced today
that 38 meetings of protest would be
held in Berlin and vicinity Sunday The
police are taking elaborate measures to
preserve order during these meetings

SOUTH POLE EXPLORERS
IN STRAIT OF MAGELLAN

BUENOS AIRES. Feb. 10.-The cap
tain of the steamer Sud, which arrived
at Punta Arenas today, reports that he
spoke the antarctic exploring steamer
Pourouoipas. anchored at Port Gallant,
in the strait of Magellan. DR.. j. M.
Charcot refused to give any informa-
tion concerning the results of the
French south polar expedition.
The French antarctic expedition
headed by DIR. J. NJ. Charcot sailed from
Havre August Is, 1908, and Punta Are
mas December II. 1908. The expedition
reached the island of Deception Decem-
Der % and from that point the last re-
port of the party was sent.
Doctor Charcot expected to be absent
about two years. The primary aim, it
was said at the time, was not to reach
the south pole, but rather to make
scientific observations.
Doctor Charcots staff includes M.
Bougrain, who was to make the astron-
omical observations; M. Rouch, a spe-
cialist in meteorology and oceano-
graphy; NJ. Godefroy, who was to study
the photography of the coast and the
tides; NJ. Gourdon, genologist, and Dr.
Jacques Liouville, marine zoologist and
botanist. Six automobile sleds were. de-
pended upon to assist the expedition to
make its way into the interior. The
Pourquoipas registers 500 tons.

MINISTER CALHOUN
PLEADS FOR WOMEN
Diplomat Asks Illinois Court to
Limit Their Work to
Ten Hours
Bases His Argument for Uphold

SPRINGFIELD. III. Feb. 1O.-William

court of Illinois today in an appeal to
have that body overrule a decision
bearing upon the 10 hour law for
women. Judge Tuthiu last July held
the law limiting the working day to 10
hours unconstitutional on the ground
that il infringes on wOman's right TO
contract for the hire of her labor.

NEW SPANISH PREMIER
LEADER OF RADICALS
appointment Causes Surprise
Among Reactionaries

MADRID, Feb. l0.-The assumption
% the premiership by Jose Csnalejas V
Mendes the radical and anti clerical,
has caused great surprise among the
dictionaries, who had assumed that
when Moret fell King Alfonso would
institute a more moderate rather than
a more radical regime.
The impression prevails that the king
has outwitted the intriguers by boldly
confding the government to Canaleias
for the purpose Of giving TO the coun-
try a clear proof Of his sincerity in the
role Of a constitutional sovereign.
