"Ah, there is a truly beautiful •woman." said Gibson yesterday as he bowed toward Miss Peters in the lobby of the Fairmont hotel. He had just been introduced to her at his personal request and saw In her the embodiment of that feminine loveliness to which ho has dedicated his talents. MISS PETERS A NOTED BEAUTY Miss Peters was all unconscious of the extraordinary compliment that had been bestowed upon her. She had been in San Francisco for a brief stay and returned last evening to her home In Stockton. The young lady has always been known for her beauty, and has been pointed out at balls and cotillons in San Francisco, as well as In her home city. In fact. Miss Peters is al most a San Franciscan, as she spends much of her time here. She is of the \u25a0w-^ll known J. D. Peters family. which :s possessed of valuable lands and oth er extensive interests in the San Joa quin valley. It was during the reception to the members of the imperial Chinese com mission that Gibson's attention was drawn to Miss Peters. The artist had been driving about the citx in an auto mobile with Norman Hapgood and a number of friends and had observed with unconcealed interest the groups of attractive women. Driving to the Fairmont. Gibson mingled in the throng that crowded the lobby -when the com missioner from the orient and his re tinue arrived. Hundreds of society people had gathered to witness the gala event. MARVELS AT BEAUTY "By George, I never saw so many pretty girls before in my life." ex claimed Gibson enthusiastically. "I should have come to California to cre-r ate the Gibson girl." The famous artist was introduced to many of the women who had assembled, and he frankly confessed his astonish ment at the panorama before him. "I naturally expected to meet very pretty women in San Francisco," he said, "but, upon my word, I was not prepared to see so many of them.":.".-. Then it was that Gibson noted the presence of Miss Peters. He inquired her name of Manager Rich of the hotel and then requested an introduction. They chatted a few moments and then Gibson rejoined Ills friends. "Ah, there is a truly beautiful woman," he remarked, indicating Miss Peters, "and." he continued, "a most charming one." Gibson reached San Francisco on Sat urday night and yesterday for the first time met the women of the city.

The delegation left here for the purpose of burying the hatchet- that is supposed to have been swinging back and forth across the Pacific and reach ing an understanding with the Yan kees of the orient that would ot least place the fight for the commercial su premacy of the Pacific ocean on a friendly basis. According to the four members of the delegation who arrived here yesterday, they found no" hatchet to bury. They found friendship that extended from the mikado himself to the school children of his realm. "I think," said Albert C. Billicke of Los Angeles, "that Japan realizes that the friendship of the United States is absolutely essential to her commer cial existence. On ' accoutn of past happenings on the Pacific coast we ex pected that our greeting mfgnt be somewhat strained. "We were received, however, with open arms and were the recipients of more official courtesies than Japan ever before extended to an unofficial delegation. I have absolute faith in Japan's protestations offrlendr ship. We were in the country for 24> days. In that time we visited Yoko hama, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Nikko, in addition to making a num ber or trips into the- country. Where ever: we went, our reception was , the save. The school children in particular added much to the delight of our visit. Wherever we went they received us with smiles, and on the smallest prov ocation filled the air with "banzais" In honor of the American visitors. "The reception they gave . the fleet was wonderf uL . To us as Ajpericans, however, there was one rather humil iating feature of that reception, and I wish congress could have been as sembled there to share the bitter pill. Because the commander in chief of our fleet was only a rear admiral naval etiquette did not permit Admiral Togo to take part in the welcome cere monies. We met Admiral Togo; he gave us a dinner party, and he is a fine old chap. But It hurt us to think that our admiral, the commander of our fine fleet, should have been sent on a visiting tour without as much rank as any other admiral in the world. This may seem a small thing in Washing ton, but to an American in Japan it hurts." The visiting merchants saw the mikado reviewing his troops. He is a tired looking man, past middle age and much crippled with, rheumatism. The delegates who returned yesterday say that the Japanese ruler impressed them as the hardest worked man in the island kingdom. A report of the trip will be sent to the various chambers of commerce by the committee on trade relations, of which R. B. Hale of this city ; is chairman. The other members of the delegation who returned on the -Mongolia were Arthur . F. Albertson' of Tacoma, Alfred P. Grifllth of Los^, Angeles and -Max Schmidt of this city. , MUTINOUS CREW ON SMALL WHALER Sailors Refuse Duty and Demand to Be Put Ashore, but Are Manacled in Hold After battling with Icebergs and a mutinous crew. , the little whaling steamer Jeariette came . into port'yes terday 52 days from the Arctic ocean. On September ' 2 the Jeariette was sur rounded by Icebergs which threatened to crush her. .- Captain Long . dodged about and for_ 24 hours all hands were on • deck ' helping -to get away - from the 'mountains of Ice. They ; finally succeeded in getting to ward open water, when suddenly a mass of ice struck the* stern of the vessel and carried away the' propeller. At the same time a breeze. sprang up and the vessel ' sailed to clear water. All then went well until July 4. when the, ship was 50 miles north of Nome. At that time four of ; the crew refused duty and demanded that they be • allowed to have a.', small • boat : and go ashore. Captain Long ordered- them back to work. The skipper did his ut most to make, the sailors resume duty, but they, refused. He then put, them below in irons for 18 hours. After that they decided to return- to duty. • The Jeanette brings 3.500 pounds of bone. 15 fox skins and nine bear skins to Roth, Blum & Co..
