Sculptor Schmid. in his O'Farrel
street studio, this week has completed
a number OF striking sculptured
groups and figures to adorn the dis
plays of the various California coun-
ties. Chief OF these is his life-size
California Guiding the Bear" The
beautiful, semi-nude figure of a typical
girl of the Golden west, wearing a
chaplet of California poppies. is shown
mounted on an aged grizzly bear.
Gracefully poised in an attitude at
once queenly and full of charm of radi-
ant health and youthful Ioveliness,
California guides the shaggy lord of
the Sierras with a bride woven of
flowers; and that the griGzy takes
kindly to his captor is shown by his
half waggish grin and his air OF quiz
zical good nature.
For this bear Mr.. Schmid made doz-
ems OF careful sketches of the old
master grizzly in Golden Gate Park.
But ii is the living model for the
charming figure typifying California"
the San Francisco high school girl,
who alone in perfection of figure and
feature met the exacting requirements
of the sculptor's ideal-that arouses
Mr.. Schmid's greatest admiration.

the city Jail yesterda- afternoon oc-
Cured a revolving crime ana one pun

The cell was occupied by William

William Bates. a peg legged negro
well known in local police circles.
They had previously been arrested on
a charge of disorderly conduct.
They will be tried later on a charge
OF crime against nature. This morn

Magistrate c. ]. Smith on charge OF
disorderly conduct and we're sentenced
TO the county jail for 40 days, but the

GOOD DSTANDINCOF
CITY IN SHIP FUND
Rock Island a Generous Con
tributor Toward Christmas
Contribution to Europe.

In the list of cities appearing in the
accounting of the work of the Christ
mas ship published in yesterday S
Chicago Herald, Rock Island made a
very good showing, both with regard
to amount of toys and practical gifts
sent and the sum of money ccntribu-
ted 1t should be most gratifying to
all of the friends of the Christmas
ship who will have helped to ring the
bells of Christmas in Europe to know
that The Argus campaign for aid
was successful as a whole.
Approximately-no one can tell eX-
actly-4, 100000 gifts valued at more
than 100000 comprise Americans
dren's Christmas ship.
Some of the Chicago Herald's men
who have been working on the ship
insist the local number of gifts will
be greater by million, but if so there
will be that much more joy and thank
fulness in the war-ridden countries of
Europe on Christmas day.
If the gifts were purchased at re-
tail the value would be much moro
than s2,00O.O00.
More than $685. in cash has been
received for the ship, and the mer-
chants OF Chicago have cooperated so
generously that for every dollar spent
there has been received practically
81 in value.
The generous donation of services
by railroads, express companies, ware
house owners. teaming corporations
and other business men. who have Civ
en- freely, probably represents service
valued at more than s250,0o0. No
vessel could make the delivery trip
TO be undertaken by the United States
ccl!er Jason for less than $4,000 II
is due to this generosity of nation,
corporation and individual that the
cost of handling and forwarding the
enormous number of gifts-at least 30

The name of this native daughter
of California whose charms have been
so faithfully reproduced to grace the
interior of the magnificent California
Counties building at the exposition, is
given out as Miss Mabel p. Perry, and
she lives with her mother on Leaven-

while her middle name doubtless is
Paragon, her last name is not really
Perry; that being merely her stage
name; or rather her pen name; for
while she is a singer and "a writer of
dramas and playlets showing excel
lent promise, she has not yet achiev-
ed her ambition to go on the stage.
Schmid shakes his head dolefully over
this errant ambition.
Miss Perry should not apply her
talents so," he insists. "She is too
modest and unspoiled-it would be a
pity; but to be a dramatist-yes. The

ord of 1858 Pages.

Washington, May 15.-Democratic
economists of the house, including Rep
resentative Barnhart of Indiana, chair
man of the house printing committee,
were stirred today over the appearance
of q special edition of the Congressional

LaFollette Of Wisconsin desired pub
lisEed, on the question of railroad rates.
The special edition contained 1853 pages.
mostly printed in fine solid type and
devoted to communications from indi-
viduals and organizations on the rail-
road freight rate question inserted as
remarks by the Wisconsin senator.
THE greatest abuse Of the Congress
siOnal Record printing and ranking
privilege since 1 have been a member
of this house." is the way Representa-
tive Barnhart characterized the publi-
cation of the Record. Mr.. Barnhart
told the house that the publication, as
computed by the government printing
office, meant total cost to the tax
payers of the country Of $13.760.
IF each of the 531 senator's and men,
bers of congress were to pad the Con-
gressional Record said Mr.. Barnhart,
1T would cost the country $780,, oil,
and to this safely could be added sew
eral more thousand dollars as the cost
of the wrapping and ranking necessary
to get this publication out to the read
ing public-in all a colossal expense"
Representative Murdoch of Kansas,
Progressive leader, protested that Rep
resentative Barnhart was out of order
as he was criticising a member from
another branch Of congress but Speak
er Clark overruled the objection.
Mr.. Barnhart insisted that the re-
markable speech" illustrated the i'm
portance of prompt action on his print
ing reform bill. under which no senator
or representative could "inflict extern
sion of remarks expense upon the peo-
pie of more than four Congressional
Record pages without a regularly passed
resolution to authorize it,
