JOHN S. SWAJf, President.
MRS. G. F." JAEGER, Secretary.
Hearty indorsement of the Palama
l'acific Int^nutiional exposition project
and a suggestion for openign the for
*>ign oanipaijrn of exploitation during
thf coming summer was received yes
frdsy from the New York headquarters
of the American Industrial exposition,
to be held <in Berlin during June, July
and Auguf-t.
The c-oniing American exposition at
Berlin is barked by some of the great
est financial interests of the country,
and is th*> first exposition of exclusively
American products ever held in a for
eign <-ountry. The letter to the Panama-
Pacific international exposition com
mittee was written by James I*. Farmer,
general secretary of the Berlin exposi
tion commission.
Farmer calls attention to the oppor
tunity for exploitation which will arise
at Berlin, and proposes that a bureau
of information should be established
there to give publicity to the aims of
the international fair in San Fran
cisco. The Berlin fair will appeal
particularly to the merchants and man
ufacturers of Europe, and as Germany
lias a strong. hold on South American
trade. Fanner believes that an infor
mation bureau at the Berlin exposition
Mould lead to favorable comment in
foreign countries and aid materially
:n laying the foundation for securing
foreign participation at a later date.
He also believes that favorable com
ment abroad would rear^J. to bring about
more extensive participation by the
federal government and states at home.
Word came from Ukiah yesterday of
n unique scheme of exposition pub
licity already adopted by prominent
businessman of that city* interested in
the success of the coming fair. A big
electric sign was erected last week
over the J. S. Hart building at one of
i ho principal corners in the city, con
taining a large facsimile of the expo
sition boosters' button recently issued
to meet preorganiration expenses, and
around the button the words, "Airship
landing, Ukiah No. 1."
Motor Club Indorses "Expo"
The Idea >of the *ign was proposed by
Harry P. Stems of Ukiah, who secured
the approbation and co-operation of
Mayor T. I.*. Carothers and the board of
town trustees. Sieius wrote that the
sign was attracting much attention and
\u25a0would remain ip position until the
Panama-Pacific international exposition
had become a matter of history.
The exposition was indorsed at a
special meeting of the board of direc
tors of the San Francisco motor club
last week, and the. club offered its
services In promoting the fair and as
sisting the committee in every possible
way. A suggestion also was made
through President Henry 11. Owens and
Secretary William R. Johnson that the
»-lul> should hold a great automobile
road race during the exposition.
At the annual meeting of the em
ploying' photo engravers' association of
California a resolution was passed
unanimously approving the exposition
plans and pledging support. A letter
referring to this action was received
yesterday from Secretary Milton A.
Nathan of the association.
Consider Finance Chairman
The commfttee in charge of the se
lection of a chairman of finance to
conduct the local campaign to raise an
rxposition fund, of . $5,000,000 has not
as yet made its choice. Several names

however, and it is expected that the
announcement of the chairman will be
made today or;tomorrow.

Petition to Remove Guardian of
S50 ? 000 Estate Is Partly
Heard
That Mrs. Chide Tilton. widow of
diaries Tilton. who was formerly the
surveyor of the city and county of San
Francisco, is perfectly sane, notwith
standing that she has beon confined in
the asylum at Napa since April 15", 1905.
was stated in Judge Coffee's court yes
terday by R. F. Crawford, a former
judge of the superior court in Sonoma
county. A motion to remove Ida A.
Killey. cousin of Mrs. Tilton, from her
guardianship was partly heard by
Judge Coffey and continued to next
Friday. Mrs. Tilton is said to own
property worth $30,000*
"I have been, to see Mir. Tilton a
number of times." testified Crawford,
"and in my opinion she is a very
bright, intelligent lady, fully compe
tent to manage her own affairs. She
recognized me at once' when she saw
me walking up the pathway."
Dr. Elmer E. Stone,' superintendent
of the asylum, testified that Mm. Til
ton is suffering from a form of mania,
but that it would b«» safe % to releaso
her from the asylum if she w*ere placed
in the care of a competent nurse. She
is not violent, he said.
Mrs. Killey, the guardian, stated that
for 20 years before the death of
Charles Tilton he put up with his wife's
willfulness and eccentricities because
he had sworn an. oath never to place
her in an asylum. But finally he was
forced to have her committed to Napa,
the guardian asserts, and the thought
that he had broken his oath caused
him to brood so that his life was de
stroyed and ruined. He gave no atten
tion to his business, and when he'dled
a year later he was insolvent.
The guardian complains that sho has
been harassed and Insulted by hordes
of "friends" who * wish to'' get Mrs. Til
ton out of the asylum so as to find
employment for certain persons as at

THE SAN F IiANGISCb GALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUAIiY 1, 1910.
ARRESTED HUNTERS
ARE HEAVILY FINED
Cunning Violator of Game Laws
Is Caught After Two
Years' Watching
"Walter Louis, a hunter who operates
in the 'Prunedale section, east of Cen
terville, was caught last Friday with
an excess baggage of quail after, two
years' careful watching by Deputy Fish
and Game Commissioner Frank Sh,ook.
Louis pleaded guilty and paid a fine of
?100. Judge" David Wallace of Salinas
notifying the prisoner that a repetition
of the offense} would call Jor the max
imum penalty of a fine of $500 and 150
days in prison.
With remarkable cunning Louis has
eluded the vigilance of the officials for
the last two years, making his bag and
rither bringing it in person or through
an accomplice to the San Francisco
market In a suit case or trunk. When
the arrest was made Louis had a tele
scope basket containing 168 quail, the
lawful bag being 20.
.ludge J. S. Cluck of Visalia assessed
lines of $100 each against D. J,. Thomp
son and 11. M. Thompson of Alpaugh.
Tulare county, they having pleaded
guilty to killing more than the legal
limit of wild- ducks.. S. L. N. Ellis«, the
arresting deputy, had been watching
these men and ' discovered that they
were shipping the game into the San
Francisco market in bags containing
25 each, marking the tags with bogus
names and claiming the different ship
ments on arrival. It was found' that in
one day one of the. men had shipped
seven separate, bags, making the con
traband duck business a ' profitable
proposition.
It is the "opinion of the commissioners
that the heavy penalty now being im
posed by the -trial' judges -will tend to
decrease the «number of offenses; as a
matter of fact shipments , to the local
market have dropped from 50, t0 three
bags withinthe last three "days.

WALTER ANTHONY
As weird as a I,)e Quincy dream, as
shivery as a Foe story, but otherwise
utterly unlike anything else in the
world, is "Vasta Herne," the play at
the Van Ness theater this week. It is
soaked in. laudanum. This tincture of
opium percolates ..through Edward
Pepl-e's dialogue, splashes, on the sofa
pillows and supplies an atmosphere
throTigh which Mrs. Leslie Carter, with
her flaming hair, wanders in wop.
It is a powerful plajv to which you
will not take your children. It is not
immoral. Jt is just frank. It dis
cusses spades as such, and in the. third
act climax there are words that— well,*
they are not often heard on the stage.
They are not. objectionable, either, any
more than "damnation" is when the
preac-her says it. ; Besides;:, Mrs. Car
ter's wonderful — it is all of that—por
trayal of the woman on the rack is a
picture the vividness and reality of
which will dwell in the observers"
minds for many and many a day.
/The plot of the play is not involved:
the characters . are all clearly, drawn
and not of "complicated nature. Then;
! is the doctor who loves Vasta; there is
| the publisher who fattens from the
books she writes'undf-r the influence of
the drug she was driven to take, be
cause of; his wickedness. There is
Vasta Herne herself, who struggles
tremendously in the mists that, the
opium exhalations have smothered her
soul in. There are throe or four other
personages in /the play more" or less
•remotely attached to the central
theme, but, of little consequence save
to bring on the silver platter of com
edy when that sort of refreshment be
comes . a necessity. But the play as
such has merely, to do with the strug
gles of Vasta to escape from Hartley
Bellaire, whoso viciousness has ex
ploited h«r, and from the drug that is
killing her, and to' rerlaim herself to
necome worthy' the love of Doctor
; Maury.
It is a heartrending story and a re
markable exhibition of emotional pow
ers, which, apparently, Mrs. Carter
still possesses in undiminlshed meas
ure. The ethicaT message of the play
may be "not totake drugs," or it may
he that "the wages of sin is death."
For Vasta dies in the final act, refusing
tho drug that her nature needs. She
dies fighting to regain the confidence
of the man she loved.
Peple's lines are lrequently orator
ical and elocutional; but Mrs. Carter's
reading of them could scarcely be im
proved upon. .She " makes ' them ring
with truth, even though they might
otherwise sound like an echo from the
Central.
• The large audience at the Van N*s*.
forgetting its fashionable conventions
last night, frequently Interrupted her
in her play, apd , at the conclusion of
the third act broke out into a storm
of approval. That was where Bellaire
having tracked Vasta, tells Doctor
Maury of her single, sin, and he de
nounces the victim. Her cry for pity,
for belief, for confidence and for love
was a supremely thrilling outburst;
such as only actresses touched with
genius would be capable of. She held
her.audience in the hollow of her hand.
One might wish that Mrs. Carter's
gifts as tragedian had led her to a
happier, wholesomer play; but "Vasta
Herne" will remain as one of the most
startling, vivid and characters
that Mrs. Carter has ever placed, full
blooded, on the stage.
. The support is good. .
