San Francisco, Nov. 7. For forty-six
years Robern McCann, who Iim m out In
McCarthy's district in the Mission, has
wig-wagged in heated polltli-ai urgu
ments a tuft of whiskers of a stWe i.
cullnrly their own. IlLs neigtdi.ir
lHnnla. I,ucey, has prided himself . rt
hirsute' adornment, of a slightly differ
ent school of gardening- mme luxur
iant of growth, us It were, but I.'
distinctive.
Today the etucco on Robert's chin
Will fall before the cruel .-re ra. b
mcnta of a razor blade; the curtains
will be drawn, the hedgo mowed, Mi"
chin for tho flrat time In 46 years ex
posed to the elements. I'emilx will eon- I
Untie to cultivate tho same old crop. I
And all because P. H. McCarthy wis
not elected mayor of San Francisco.
McCann'a pride In this llttl bunrh (f
whlskera on his chin was equaled only
by his faith In McCarthy's ability :..
win. Heated arguments he had had in i
great number with those of his neigh
bors who failed to agree with him.
Lucoy was one Sit them. Being n
Ryan man of the most pronounced type. ,
he would not, for a. moment, concede
that McCarthy had a chanco to ,jc i
elected.
"I'd bet anything I've got on Mc
Cart by,'' said Robert a few days ngo. I
"Would you bet your whiskers?"
Robert stroked thn beard affection
ately and then came out with an em
phatic "e."
Well, ill Det my wnisKers ngaint
yours that McCarthy does not win,"
said Dennis.
They clasped hands on It.
So today, off comes the most distinct
facial thicket south of Market street.

In their ast rooms. The painting repre
sents Lot and his daughters fleeing
from the destruction of Sodom and Go

drawn the figures of nmre than life
Size, standing out strongly from the
background or darkened skies and llght-ning-rlven
clouds.
Ihe teutonic type, 'vhlcn is so strong
ly evidenced in the female figures, Is
always a little fonfuslng In association
with early Hebraic history, and the fore
most figure Is especially heavy and vo
luptuous In type. Thu flesh tints, too,
have a pallidness which seems unreal,
unless it were Intended to represent ter
ror a rancy which is contradicted in
the facial expression.
Tho figure of i,ot Is thoroughly in
character, with a pose and prophetic
statellness that Is striking and the pic
ture as a whole Is free in action and
vigorously expressed.

ROOT'S RETIREMENT
IS RETORTED AGAIN
U'DltnJ Ftm Leased Wlra.)
Washington, Nov. 7. Secretary Root's
retirement from the cabinet la once
more reported, this time it la on good
authority. Ill health ia the reason aa
slgned. The secretary is suffering from
both nervous and digestive troubles.
Mr. Root wants nat only to retire from
public Ufa, but to-taka a long;' rest,
ires from business -cares of any sort
After a personal Investigation extend
ing over two days. In which the opin
ion of leading brokers, based upon the
latest quotations, was obtained, mem
bers of the city ways and means com
mittee of the city council reported to
that body this morning that the funds
of the city are well secured, that there
Is no cause for alarm, and that "it
seems to bo the opinion of bond dealers
that the bottom has been reached on
hlgh-rlass securities, and that the mar
ket Is firm."
The report of the committee was
unanimously ndopted by the council,
which met Informally to express its
gratitude toward the method followed
by City Treasurer Vrlln In depositing
city funds and securing them against
loss.
Mayor Harry Lane was not present
when the cuuncll convened, due to the
fact that he had Sot been notified by
City Auditor Barbur. Mr. Barhur ex
plained that he supposed Mayor Lane
knew the meeting was to be held this
morning. Mayor Lane entered the coun
cil ehamoer after the reoort of tliA com
mittee had been approved and relieved
i'resldent wills, wno presided during t lie
mayor s ansenee.
X.esa Than Charter Semanda.
The committee's report showed that
the money deposits of the city were se
cured on the average rate of a fraction
over more than 91-20 for every dollar
on deposit. This Is about 6 cents Jess
than tne cnarter requirements, hut Is
considered exceptionally good rating,
considering the financial stringency of
the Past few weeks.
Opinions as to the quality of the
bonds from various financial authori
ties confirm the decision of Treasurer
Werleln In accepting them as security
for city deposits.
Although the average rating was
91.20, the rating ran at various banks
all the way from 9105 to 92.10. That
the funds are well protected Is th con.
census of opinion with ths exception of
9130,000 on deposit at Ladd & Tllton.
This sum Is without aecurltv. hut th.
council is powerless to do anvthlne
with it because it is the residue of a
sum resulting from bond sales under
the provisions of the old bonding act.
Amount on Decraas.
Originally thla sum amounted to
nbout 9200,000, but as the bonds have
been recalled and paid for, the amount
has steadily diminished and will en
tirely vanish In about four years.
The work of the committee in nass-1
ing uuon mo city securities was incom
plete. Tho members went to the var
ious safety deposit vaults where the
bonds are kept, handled them and listed
them personally. After noting their
presence the members sought the opin
ion of bankers as to their value.
Htirther the members asked the opinion
of Frank Robertson and Morris Broth
ers, leading brokers, as to the present
value of the bonds.
Mr. Robertson furnished his estimate
ij,m,1iiv tl niAl-kef nnnttiiim of thnl
hay. As a result he gave the bonds a
vtolue .which meant a rating of 91-2054
for evefy dollar on deposit.
An Indication of the firm tone of tho
market and showing the present up- ,
ward trend of prices on securities was j
the report of Morris Brothers which
was- furnished by Mr. Robertson. Mor
ris Brothers' quotations show a rating
of 91.2093 for every dollar on deposit.
These quotations were secured by
wire from New York city on the day
they were furnished to the ways and
means committee.
Condition of Deposits.
A summarv of the city funds shows
9725,407 In the hank balances certified
by the banks; cash ready for deposit,
911.465; in vault, 99.865; certificate OB
deposit. 9130,061. ,
After the report had been approved
by the council. Treasurer Werleln mads
an address to the council in regard to
the future handling of the funda.
referred to the remarks of Mayor
Lane at the special meeting of the coun
cil Monday afternoon, In which he took
exception to the criticism of himself
and the council made by Mayor Lane
for allowing the funda to be outside '
the city's vaults without compliance
with the provisions of the city charter.
Mr. Werleln said that he .
harshly criticlsfxi for his actions and
that In the future the city should fol
low the provisions of the charter, which
requires the city funda to be deposited
only on awards made on bids at a se
curity rate of 91.26. To do this It ,
would be necessary to spend about 911.
oini in fitting up the city vaults tn his
office because the banks -would not
bid for city money under tha provision
of the charter.
City Vault XTeeda Safeguards.
However, declared Mr. Werleln, If
the city kept its money In tha city
aalt It would be necessary to estab
lish proper safeguards In the way of
watchmen nnd added equipment to the.
vault. He said It would not be feasible
to withdraw the money from the banks
at this time because of the fear it
would Instill into the hearts of the small
depositors. He added that the city's
money Is entirely safe and such action
would be unwarranted.
Councilman Bennett followed Mr.
Werleln and said that he too thought
It a poor time to withdraw the city's
money and expressed the opinion that
the city's funds are amply well secured.
Ho said that everybody should help
the banks at thla time and believed the
city should be the first to do so.
Councilman Wills then rose and stated
that he agreed with Mr. Bennett. He
said that to withdraw money which la
so well protected would only result in,
frightening the people whose funds are
unprotected and that the action would
b unwarranted at the present time
when there seems to be a general Im
provement of the money situation all
over the country. , ,
Bashlltrnt Years on Oil. . '
Councilman Rushlight got up at thla ,
time when It seemed as if a mtsander
stnndlng of the motives of Mayor Lane '
f.nd City Treasurer Werleln would re--suit,
and poured soothing oil upon
troubled waters by saying that both
Councilmen Wills and Bennett were un- ..
rt oil b telly in error because he did1 not
believe either Mayor Lane or Mr. Wer- -
leln intended to withdraw the city's
funds from the banks at this time. '
"There is no question as to our se
curity,'' said Mr. Rushlight "Out ... '
money Is ptoterted and what Mr. Wer
lein and Major Lane mean ia that it '
Is the duty of the council and city - . .
trensii'-er to see that the city's money
Is amplv protected, and I believe that
has been done."
Previous to the utterances of the
councilmen. Mayor Lane read a mes
sage which he stated he wished to have
read before the council took action on1;
the committee's report, explaining; that
he expected to read the message when - ,'
the council met this afternoon, hs r '
me age advised the council and city
treasurer to take all precautionary
methods in regard to the city's funds.'
The message was accepted by the roem
hers in the spirit offered, the counell
men realizing that the best interests,
demanded the cooperation of 4he mayor : '
and council. " - s" - : t .
Mayor Lane said that the ' council '
and city treasurer had gone outside th
chatter provisions in the present dff
positing city funds as they bad ami
while agreeing with the executive, tha
councilmen were of the opfhlon that ths
present conditions would not -warrant
them in withdrawing the city funda at
this time. , . . . .. ,- . "
