MERRY THRONGS
TO CELEBRATE
NATION'S BIRTH
Independence Day to Be Ob
served Throughout Bay Re
gion in Elaborate Manner
Mayor Taylor to Preside at Pro
gram to Be Held in Golden
Gate Park
Over all the bay region today Inde
pendence Day wil be celebrated In
whole hearted rejoicing expressing It
self in a score of various ways. The
grand chorus of schooJ children at
Golden Gate park will no more speak
the spirit of the day than- will the
dozen of plcnicF, the celebration, with
Goddess of Liberty and "horribles," at
Mill Valley, the tennis tourney at San
Rafael, the grala time promised In
Alameda and Oakland, or the unquali
fied gJee of the small boy with the
cracker.
That latter form of celebration re
sulted yesterday in the injury of four
lads who could not contain their pa
triotism until today. They are Charles
Case of 596 Valencia street, who struck
a torpedo cane on the sidewalk while
holding the loaded end In his 'hand;
Fred Turner of 2608 Lombard street,
who accidentally discharged a 22 cal
iber bullet into his leg: Harold Kelson
of 110 Eighteenth street, who lingered
about a cannon cracker after he had
lighted it. and Arthur McChelsen of
£6 Nineteenth street, who daringly held
a bunch of lighted crackers In his
hand. These formed the vanguard of
the usual fourth of July migration of
youngsters to the emergency hospitals.
The great noise of wide mouthed
coast defense guns at the Presidio will
salute the nations natal day at noon.
While todays' principal celebration
will be at the park, with musical and
literary exercises, and a program of
athletic events, yet other attractions
of almost equal interest will take their
share of the crowds, among them be
ing the aquatic events at the foot of
Van Ness avenue, in which skiffs,
shells and barges will be propelled
through the water for prizes, base
ball at Recreation par. and the great
prize fight. Not a few will witness
the beaching of the Gjoa. Amundsen's
sloop which navigated the northwest
passage, south of the Cliff house at
2 o'clock.
While landlubbers are disporting
themselves ashore the state naval
militia, aboard the gunboat Alert, will
be plowing the Pacific under com
mand of Captain Bauer. The vessel
steamed out of the bay yesterday In
fine trim for a spin down the coast.
Mayor Taylor will act as president
of the day at the Golden Gate park
exercises, "besides serving a« honorary
referee at the athletic events. The
school children's chorus, 1 edby Miss
Estelle Carpenter, supervisor of mu
sic st the public schools. Is being an
ticipated with eagerness by all who
intend to be present. : ~'_-l
TARIFF BILL WILL COME
TO VOTE THIS WEEK
Income Tax Measure Also
Likely to Pass
WASHINGTON. July 4. — It is expected
by senators generally that the senate
•will reach a vote on the passage of the
tariff bill by the end of the wpek. The
measure has been before the senate so
long that men of all factions are be
coming tired of it, as has been made
evident since the action on Friday last
on the income tatf question.
At 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon the
senate will enroll its vote on the propo
sition for a constitutional amendment
looking to the levying of an income
tax. Senator Brown of Nebraska is the
author of the resolution on which the
vote will be taken, but the proposition
Is a part of the general administration
scheme with reference to income and
corporation taxes.
There is no doubt that the resolution
will be adopted by the senate, and It is
believed that it will run the gauntlet of
the conference and become a law, so
that before long the various states will
be called upon to say whether they de
sire a federal income tax. Twelve states
can defeat that provision.

POLICE BAR DICK
JOSE FROM THEATER
Say Playhouse Owners' License
Expired and Prevent Singer
and Company Appearing
SAN RAFAEL, July 4.— Dick Jose the
contra tenor, and his company \u25a0\u25a0 of 14
were prevented by the police tonight
from producing "Jane" in the Garden
th°™t*r. Back of it all Is a fight in the
courts and on the street. Fists have
l.een doubled up and writs have been
Invoked, but Jose was unable to appear
° Fully two weeks ago Manager Thon-
as Phillips of the Garden theater booked
Jose and company for tonight. Soon
afterward Building Inspector J. MUlen
decided that the house was not prop
erly wired. He notified Phillips that the
theater could not be used according to
the building ordinance.
Phillips inristed that Jose would sing
anyway, and so last night secured- an
Injunction from Judge Murasky of San
Francisco to restrain the' police from
interfering with the performance to
night. The writ was made returnable
Wednesday, three days after the date
of the performance. •••
The .vrit aroused the ire of Town
Marshal Hal'ey, and when he and Phil
lips discussed the matter on the street
last night Haley dealt Phillips a blow.
Today Phillips got a brass band and
paraded the streets, announc'ng that
Jose would surely sing. About • this
time, however. Town Attorney .; Jo«
Hawkins found that Phillips' license to
operate a theater In San Rafael had ex
pired July 1. He advised with various
lawyers- concerning, the matter, and
they agreed that Phillips was not en
titled to open his theater -without* a
license.
Just before the time for opening th«
performance tonight, three policemen
and two plain clothes -'men went to
the theater and prevented the box of
fice from opening. , Every seat had
been reserved and more than 200 per
sons were seeking standing room, but
the police turned every one away from
the theatre."
Phillips still insisted that -he -would
give a performance, but subsided when
Hawkins threatened to order his ar
rest, and also to jail Jose, his company
and the audience.
As the prospective audience was
turned away from the theater Jose
hummed his. favorite, ."Goodbye. Dolly.
Gray," and sadly stayed the prepara
tions of the. members of his company
who were making up for the perform
ance. Jose paid the- members of .his
company V out of his o"wn pocket.
Phillips is now planning to institute
damage proceedings because he was
not permitted to open his theater to
night.

TOWN PLANTED TREES
TO HIDE A BILLBOARD
Railroad Company's: Advertis
ing Blocked From View
In one of the back streets of Brigh
ton, up. which the tramcars pass to the
Dyke road and the golf links, stand
four little trees. The road Is not- an
avenue, . and one { wonders how . these
four little trees" strayed there, till,
says Home Chat, the conductor explains
that they were placed by the munici
pality- to hide an. advertisement bill
board put up by the railway line, and
which mars the view of a very pretty
wooded cutting. As the company de
clined, the town fathers promptly
planted their, trees, and now, when
summer comes, the billboard Is almost
hidden from view. — London Globe. '

MRS. C. H. BLINN
DIES OF CANCER
Wife of Deputy Surveyor and
; Mother of Noted Actor "
Expires Here
Was Famous as Actress, as
Speaker and Woman of V
.Intellect
Mrs. C. H. Blinn, wife of the. deputy
surveyor of the port of San Francisco;
famous as an actress, political speaker
and woman suffragist, .and \u0084who was
long recognized as one of the' most:re
markable and brilliant American wom
en of the day, died at her residence, 100
Edgewood road, at 7.45 o'clock ye6ter-^
day morning. She had - been . ailing
for. the last six months from cancer.
Her son and .only v. child, Holbrook
Blinn, leading man with Mrs. Fisk's
company, playing "Salvation Nell,"
came to San Francisco from Sacramen-r
tto Saurday brut left again to joinhis
company at Portland as hethought his
mother's condition greatly improved. '•
The death of Mrs. Blinn brings. to a
culmination a life replete with success
es, a career remarkable for its unself
ish devotion- to her - . \u25a0\u25a0 country arid a
dauntless striving for the attainment
of her ideals.' - . : , .
She was born in Salem, New Hamp
shiree,- the«eldest r child- of Albert Hol
brook, a noted lawyer, and Lucy Laten;
She was educated at Barre academy,
Vt., and from her. earliest, youth was
remarkable for her intellect, graduated
with the highest ' honors and, at 16
years of age. became. a teacher. She
came to San" Francisco in 1868, the day
before the earthquake of, that year and
soon after was appointed viee 'principal
of the Washington . grammar school.
Two years, later,' December 15,' 1870,"
she became. the wife of C. H. Blinn. .
GOES OX STAGE
. Following .her marriage she went
upon the stage, takings the name • of
Nellie Holbrook. Her beauty, ' her: per
sonality,. intellect .and,< above all, her
exceptionally .fine " and musical voice
soon won her fame. Her first appear.
ance . was as . Lady .Isabel In "East
Lynne," ' played In San . Francisco. | From
that time on she went from success to
success, till, following a performance
in New York, a grateful and fascinated
audience took the horses from her car
riage a,nd . hauled the vehicle them
selves through the city streets. She
took up the stage :> on the advice of
John McCulloc hand Lawrence Barrett
and played with these famous actors
in the California theater. She then
went to the Grand opera house with the
Kennedys:- after that with. Barry, Sulli
van at the Baldwin in Shakespearean
plays and later as leading lady with
the famous Sheridan. She was the first
woman to play "Hamlet" in the United
States..
While at the height of her theatrical
success she left the stage and entered
the political field, tl was in this
sphere that, she was at her best. — She
was* not remarkable alone for her
speeches, but also for. her singing.; She
spoke, o nthe same platfor mwlth such
men-'as Logan. Morton, the war goVer
nor of' lndiana, Blame, Ingersoll . and
Gar field. %t

caem an ardent worker for the suf
fragist-movement and was among the
first women in the'weet to come out
for votes for women. !.

giving the news of her death were sent
to her son, Holbrook Blinn. at Portland,

When is the ande In art of, sufficient
art to be allowed oa exhibition . for
commercial .purposes? '
These are the- questions which the
art dealers of San Francisco would
have Judge Daniel Deasy answer as
his recent decision in \u25a0 the pollc« | court
finding against the exhibition of copies
of masterpieces in the nude haa left
them hopelessly* In the dark as to what
may' be exhibited . and what ? must be
kept in the background., . . /'
Plans are* now on, foot for a. proposed
campaign for a .more liberal "recogni
tion of. the nude in art' to be waged by
the artists and art dealers, of. San
Francisco., According.;; to the present
indications the dealers will band 'to
geher against what they consider, an
injustice and say that' if they are not
allowed' to exhibit a certain class of
works of ; art j they will see to It ' that
the same law is enforced in the, parks,
museums and . art galleries , of the city."
"We have no intention of antagoniz
ing anybody." said Theo.'Cranz of 2252
Mission street, 'whose arrest brought
Judge Deasy's decision, -'"but we be
lieve that we are not - being treated
justly and we intend to fight this mat
ter out to a finish. If the. nude In. art
is not allowed in -the windows of art
stores it -should not be allowed in
art galleries. If we cannot **\u25a0 have" a
photograph- of a nude statue in our
windows than, f.he, statue ; itself should
not be exhibited in the park and pub
lic places of the city. \u25a0
"I have taken this question up with
several art dealers and they • are as
eager as myself to. put. a stop to this
prudery which sees evil in that which
is beautiful. Our plan is to. see if we
cannot thrash this question out in the
courts in order to arrive at some kind
of understanding, and also to give as
much display as legally we may to
masterpieces in the nude so that the
public may become accustomed to them
and regard them In the same light as
it does the statues in the park.
"The evil lies -not In the paintings
but in the opposition to .them. Since
Judge Deasy has - made me take my
pictures out. of my store windows I
have. put out a sign, stating that he
has done so and that on account of his
rulling I have* been forced to exhibit
them in a special' gallery."

\ Mrs, Thrifty-- "My husband is in the coal business and

N iia cool | or lukewarm water, either in
summer or winter, you : save: —
Fuel— No necessity for hot fire or
boiling water.
Clothes — Your clothes last twice as
long when washed with Fels-Naptha,
because they are not weakened by rx>il-
. ing v nor worn out by hard rubbing.
Doctor* s Bills— You &on\ risk your
health by bending over steaming suds or
a hot fire and then going into the cool
Time — The Fels-Naptha way of
