Kendall, 1410 Jackson street, of Jack, London is waiting a literary deputation which is expected to escort It back in state to fhe headquarters of Uie Martin Eden Clutt. "Any time they want it," say Kendall, writer and former member of the club, "they can have it. But it is in very bad shape and' ought to te fixed." This is the bust that broke the Eden Club, the bust that bent the brotherly bonds of the group ot young writers who used to gather to exchange the gossip of the piitorMhe rejection slip and the hope that is eternal. Under novels were planned, scenarios were born and plots for fiction were hatched of "the heat of discussion and the smoke of tobocco. The bust had to stand for a lot of things.

Recently (he club, which includes a number of writers of national reputation, experienced an outbreak of temperament. It divided Into camps, tbe Free Lancers, clinging to. the old name, and the Rough Writers, pitching their canvas under the he-mannish title AVolf's House." Kendall belongs to the House of the Wolf and he Viao tVio Kucf rtt T.nnlnn Tn an promise was made to the Martin o- Eden Club to return the statue. It was also'explained that the bust is not bronze at all. but plaster.

Here ia what Kendall says on the subject today: The whole incident regarding the Jack London bust 1 ridiculous. On July 10, 1920, Mrs Kliza Shepard presented the 'bust to Mr. Owen Clarke Treleaven and mysdlf, as is certified in a telegram received from Mrs. Charmian K. London.

After my resignation from the Martin Eden Club I offered to refinish the bust which was cracking arid Was in the rough plaster and not bronze as was stated bf Mr. Chambers at my own expense and give it as a permanent gift to the Martin Eden, Club. Before the work was completed, Mr. Elwyn Chambers and Mr. John Mersfreau called at my "home and, In the presence of a witness, demanded that I turn the bust over to them immedi-, atelyi insinuating that it was stolen.

As the' bust was then In a state of repair, I refused Many childish' hearts will be gladdened next month when the first contingent of needy children are sent to the Oakland municipal camp for glorious two weeks' vacation in the open as ward of The TRIBUNE and the Oakland recreation department.

Rough khakl. or costumes will be the fashion, especially wben ine caravan arrives in Sacramento, where everyone will be weariug clothes. blard3, hats, etc, In keeping with the spirit and modes of the days of '49. Peterson's quaint old costume, asj he arrived Here yesterday, attracted great attention.

He was booted and bearded, wore a wide brimmed hat, flowing necktie, long skirted black coat, flowered "weskit" and the other regalia of '49. Peterson said that he had ransacked the Mother Lode country for the component parts of his costume, and that there were hardly any red shirts left. Peterson announced today that William Maxwell Harden, aged 102, an original '49er, probubly will attend Sacramento's celebration of the days of '4 9 this month. Harden lives in Tuolumne county, where he is known as the "century kid." Answering Petersons' question ss to what makes him live so long, the "century kid" replied: "Just lived a natural life, my boy. Never ate alfalfa hay.

The whole proceeding is small and I do not believe it has the backing of the majority of Ute members of the Martin Eden Club. Vhilip M. Fisher president of the Wolf House, today issued a signed statement in which he deplored the manner in which his organization has been brought into the "bust, or perhaps the ding-bust, agalr. He said: The Wolf House has nothing to do with the case. The Wolf House never put in a claim for the bust, if did not house, harbor or hanker for it.

Moreover, the members of the Wolf House are not one wee whit disgruntled. Five of them resigned from the Martin Eden Club and the rest are new members who have joined recently. It is the club's purpose to establish it3elf as a serious center for literary discus- xsion, to build 4 home and to work for the good of Oakland and ct letters.
