Prominent Men Attend Solemn
Masonic Funeral of
G.T. Bromley
Distinguished Craftsman and
High Priest of Bohemian

With the solemn pomp of the Ma
sonic ritual,, the loving tributes of fel
low Bohemians and amid a host of sor
rowing friends. George Tlsdale Bromley,

ices being held at 2:30 o'clock at
Golden Gate Commandery hall under
the"auspices of California lodge No. 1,
F. & A. M.
At 1 o'clock the body was taken
from the family home in Jackson street
to the hall and there lay In state with
a guard of honor consisting of the fol
lowing Knights Templar In the full
uniform of their order: Eminent Com
mander Samuel A. Clarke, Robert F.
Haight. James Berry Hatcher and Wil
liam D. McArthur. Shortly before the
hour of the cervices a large delega
tion from the Bohemian club arrived
and was seated in & body to the left
of the coffin. The members of Cali
fornia lodge marched to the seats on
the right, and in front of them were
the Knights Templar.
The pall bearers were Judge Henry
A. Melvin, Dr. J. Wilson. Shiels, Ryland
B. Wallace, Hugh M. Burke, Sigmund
Steinhart, General Lucius H. Foote, all
of the Bohemian club, and Past Com

MAXV FLORAL TRIBUTES
The coffin was covered with a pall
of palest pink carnations, maiden hair

utes. From the Knights Templar was
a tall Maltese cross of lavender sweet
peas and other blossoms; from the

read by Dr. D. E. F. Easton, worship
ful master of California lodge No. 1,
of which "Uncle George" Bromley was
a 'past master.
Judge Melvin, president of the Bo
hemian club, delivered a brief eulp
gistie address, in which he spoke of
his long acquaintance with the man to
whom they were gathered to pay final
tribute. He said that term of "Uncle"
was given not as an epithet descrip
tive of age, but because his kindliness
made him kin to all the world. In
nearly 100 years of life. Judge Melvin
paid, he did not believe that "Uncle
George" had ever raised his voice In
unkind speech nor used his wit for
bitterness. ;\u25a0:•;''

closest friends of Bromley, spoke also,
saying that they were two of the
last members of those who were called

JURIST EXPOUNDS
HIS VIEWS ON ART
Judge Deasy Divides Copies of
Artists' Masterpieces Into
Two Classes
A Daniel has come to judgment, and
artists, art critics and dealers In works
of art must sit up and take notice, for
Judge Daniel C. Deasy has expounded
his views on what is art, or, rather,
what is objectionable in art, In render
ing his "decision in the ca3O of Theo
dore Cranz, art dealer, 2252 Mission
street, charged with exhibiting Indecent
pictures which were claimed 'to be
copies of masterpieces.
IX TWO CLASSES
The judge said he would divide the
seven pictures into two classes. The
first class would comprise the pictures,
"Cupid Disarmed," by Munler; "Even-
Ing," by Magnussen; "Love and Life',"
by Watts, and "Judgment of Paris," by
Solomon, which were clearly the em
bodiment of ideas and were works of
art.
The second class comprised the other
three pictures, representing - bathing
scenes, which, in his mind, did not
represent an artistic ideal. The most
objectionable was] to his mind the two
nude bathers in the painting by Bello
vlne. Trie whole Idea of these bathing
scenes was more calculated to do' harm
than good, and. although they could not
be designated as obscene, they were
to his mind indecent. He saw no ob
jection to the others if they were kept
in an art gallery, or sheltered nook,
and not for free public public exhibi
tion in a show window.
In his opinion the /Scene by Bellp
vine and the" German bathing scene
by Possart could be clearly construed
as a violation of the statute, but as
the statute said they must be lewdly
exhibited he did not mean to say that
the defendant was guilty of^ that; and,
therefore, he would only impose a nom
inal sentence. .He would again say
that these two pictures were detri
mental to public morals when viewed
by immature minds.
JUDG ME.XT SUSPENDED
Attorney Van Wyck suggested ."that,
as the court was satisfied the pictures
were not exhibited "Jewdly," the de
fendant be not convicted on his promise
not to expose these pictures for general
public view. :
The judge replied that he was satis
fied the pictures were not exhibited
from improper motives, and he would,
therefore, suspend judgment and put
the case on the reserve calendar for
three months, when- it would be dis
missed if the defendant refrained 'from
exhibiting the objectionable pictures to
the general view of the public.'i^^^^
CALIFORNIA EXHIBIT AT
SEATTLE IS ADMIRABLE
Products of the State Make In-
comparable Showing
That the California exhibit at the
exposition in Seattle far outshone any
thing, else on the grounds was the
declaration made by W. W. Dickinson
at the regular weekly luncheon of the
reception committee of the California
Promotion committee , yesterday. .
"I am a new resident of San Fran
cisco,"" said Dickinson. "A few weeks
ago while passing through the exposi
tion grounds in Seattle I i was greatly
struck by the wonderful exhibit this
state had there. Later, when I came
to California. I observed that the every
day resources of. the state were fully as
wonderful and admirable as the speci
mens on exhibit in Seattle." .. >
The luncheon was planned originally
for a discussion \u25a0 between the repre
sentatives of the eastern -railroads and
the members of the reception com
mittee, but the plan fell through Vat
the last moment as the railroadmen, al
most without exception, had no sugges
tion to offer In regard to doing any
thing for, the' state which'had not al
ready been done or was being done by
the California Promotion committee.
It was decided, however, that the east
ern : trains should be plentifully sup
plied with pamphlets telling of the re
sources of California. f . v \u25a0
: Dr.?Ezecfuiel Chaves, under secretary
of public instruction *of Mexico, made a
brief . address •\u25a0. in which • he asked that
more "Americana visit 'Mexico, saying
that they would be "warmly - welcomed
by his countrymen. ;' Among the guests
at the luncheon was. Frank Miller ' of

MILLIONAIRE MUST
PAY OR GO TO JAIL
Henry Miller and His Associates
; Adjudged inConterapt by
Judge Seawell
Henry Miller, the 86 year old mul
timillionaire who owns more than
half the broad acres and cattle con
stituting the assets* of Miller & Lux,
was adjudged guilty of contempt by
Judge Seawell yesterday and ordered
Imprisoned lintil the ?22,902 dividend
due Mrs. Melissa A. Potter shall have
been paid. His fellow directors,, J.
L.c ( Roy Nickel) Edward F. Allen,
Louis F. - Monteagle and , Gustav
Gutsch, were also found in contempt.
Although the court order states spe
cifically that Miller *and his associates
must be imprisoned if. they 'continue"' to
withhold. Mrs. Potter> dividends, there
is no likelihood they will be confined
In a cell. ' .
TIME GIVE.V FOR APPEAL
'•» Execution of the order was stayetK
10 days by. Judge Seawell, and in \ the
meanwhile Miller and the other direc
tors will apply •to the supreme court
for a writ of review. If that court
confirms Judge Seawell then they will
have no alternative but to pay or go
to jail. They will pay.
The decision marks an important
victory for Mrs. Potter and her son,
Jesse 'Sheldon Lux Potter, In their
fight to keep the control of • the vast
properties/of the corporation under
the laws of this state. The Miller
faction allowed the license Qf the Cali
fornia corporation to lapse and f firmed
a new corporation "of the same name
under the laws of Nevada. The Pot
ters have from the first refusedto ac
cept stock Tn". the Nevada corporation
in. exchange for their holdings in the
California corporation. That is why
Miller and; his associates have* refused
to pay Mrs. Potter, and her son their
dividends] \u25a0
compromise: is rejected
There is now a little: over .$90,000
due to the Potters, representing divi
dends of the last two years. i Miller has
offered to let them have this money
on condition that they. will at the same
-time accept stock in the Nevada cor
poration and surrender their stock in
the California corporation. As they;re
ject this condition they have been kept
out of the' enjoyment of their $90,000.
Henry Miller, who was one of the
founders of the corporation, is
derstood" to bo worth ~ $20,000,000.
Notwithstanding his great age he con
ducts his fight with the daughter and
grandson of, his dead partner with the
spirit and bitterness of a man of less
than half, his years. •
.MILLER SCORES OXE POINT
In' the suit of Jesse Sheldon Lux
Potter over property held in trusty for
the young man, Miller and his fellow
directors' won a point yesterday, Judge
Seawelf sustaining their demurrer to
Potter's, complaint. The .Judge held
that Potter could -not complain of the
distribution of dividends •' among
other stock holders of the California
corporation, . in view of the fact -that
Potter contends that the ..corporation
is still in existence 5 . Slye & Kitts,
attorneys for Potter, will ; file" an
amended complaint.

received word that
all records for the
J climb to Tassajara

ken last Sunday, when Louts Fenton of
Salinas,- Cal., drove his Studebaker
B-M-F "30" into the springs in 3 hours
and 30 minutes and out in 3 hours and
23 minutes. The previous record held
was 3 hours and 50 minutes for the in
trip and 3 hours and 25 minutes com
ing out. The grade is one of the most
difficult In the state, and while the
roads are in the best of condition, as
they are at the present time, according
to Fenton and members of his party,
the climb is no easy task. Fenton was
accompanied on his record run by
