cesstul conclusion, and to whom all honor
was due for the perpetual memorial of its
success to be dedicated this day.
Mr.. de Young, amid general applause,
mad risen to tell the story of how, not
many months ago, the people had gath
erea not lar from the spot where they were
now to witness the turning of the first
shoVeltul of earth for the building of the
fair. Since that time the fair. with its 100
buildings, the glory of it's 1900 incandes-
cent lights, Its great tower, its manufac-
lures, arts and Midway, had lived and
dled: Its medals have been distributed,
and, said the speaker, nothing has
been left undone that will cause the slight
est reflection on the people Of the State OF
California. Applause.
The committee realized that there
would be some net surplus, and they de-
clded to utilize the Art building and secure
some OF the attractive exhibits of the ex-
position as permanent reminders of its
glorles. 1t was determined to create nu-
cleus OF what some day would be great
museum. The idea was not original.
Away back in 1851, when the London Ex-
position was held, the surplus funds were
used to create the great South Kensington
Museum, to-day one of the largest and
best museums in the world. After the
Centennial Exposition was held in 1876 a
great memorial museum sprang into ex-
lstence, which now occupies place in the
park at Philadelphia, and following the
Chicago Expositione there was established

Grand Jurymen and Police Officers
Dressed as COuntrymen.
Mrs. Alevina Stein, proprietress of the
Little Casino, on the corner of Stockton
and Bush streets, appeared in Judge Lows
court yesterday morning to answer to the
charges of selling liquor without license
and keeping house OF i'll fame. The cases
were continued till Tuesday next. The
three women-Agnes Baker, Annie Smith
and Mary Smith-arrested for visiting the
house, were each fined SIS, which they paid.
This is the house adjoining the new
Polytechnic School, which was raided on
Friday night by Sergeant Gillen and Police
men Butterworth and McGrew in citizens
clothes, as reported in yesterdays CALL.
The teachers of the school and parents of
the pupils had complained repeatedly to
the Board of Education to have the place
closed up, and finally an appealwas made
to the Grand Jury, with the result stated.
Three members of the Grand Jury,
dressed as countrymen, had gone to the
house on Friday night to secure evidence
against Mrs. Stein unknown to the police,

miles across our own country people are
shivering with the cold. When the idea
was first preached of a great exposition
out in the woolly West. where the people
were supposed not to know the use of fire
and ate their food raw, it was thought we
would make but apoor showing. But with
dominating energy and pluck an exposi-
ton had been created in marvelously short
time that would compare with the great
expositions of the world"
Mr.. Knight said that he had nothing to
say for Mr.. de Young. He could not prop
erly speak of the services he had rendered,
but the future would give him his proper
place as one of CALIFORNIA; benefactors.
With strong characteristics, goaheada-
tiveness that accompllshes whatever he
undertakes, he seems to thrive upon
difficulties and opposition. What he had
done In this instance would be appreciated
more and more as time passed and the flu
ture would do him justice. On behalf of
the Park Commissioners he accepted what
the fair had given them and the people, a
heritage they must highly prize;

CLOSE CALL OF A CRUISER.
How THE SAN FRANCISCO ESCAPED
FROM AN UNKNOWN
PERIL.
ARRIVAL OF THE MEN WHO AL
MOST SANK HER IN CHI
LEAN WATERS.

The steamer Belgic arrived from China
and Japan yesterday afternoon. Among
her passengers were Commander E. J.
Garin and Lieutenants A. Vargas and A. F.
Valderrama of the Chilean navy. Garin
was in command of the Chilean cruiser
Esmeralda, which was bought through the
Ecuadorian Government by the japanese
Captain Garin sailed the warship safely to
Yokohama and delivered her to the Jap
anese Government, receiving very hand :
some bonus for his trouble.
The crew of the cruiser arrived on the
last two China steamers and complained
bitterly of the treatment of their comman-
der. They openly stated that he feared to
accompany them, knowing that his life
would be in peril.
The Chileans refused to speak Of their
trip from Valparaiso to Yokohama further
than to say that their Government sold
the vessel to Ecuador and that the Esme-
ralda had totbe delivered at any port where
that Government desired.
The three officers are said to be from
among the flower of the Chilean navy.
Although they would say nothing regard
ing themselves to a reporter, they seem to
have talked fast enough on the voyage
from the Orient. Lieutenant Vargas was
second in command of torpedo-boat dur
ing the Chilean revolution which nearly
sunk the cruiser San Francisco.
The little craft stole out to the white
cruiser under cover of darkness while
the vessel was at anchor in Valparaiso.
The insurgents supposed that the San
Francisco was one of the enemy's fleet. A
torpedo tube was trained on her and the
order given to fire. Luckily the command
was misunderstood, and before it could be
repeated the lookout sang out in a low
tone OF voice, UNITED States" The next
moment the torpedo craft was steaming
away and the crew of the San Francisco
never knew of their danger.

BATTERED BY GALES,
Two British Ships Experience Rough
Weather in the Pacific.

Two British Ships Experience Rough
Weather in the Pacific.
The British ship Sierra Marinda arrived
from Hongkong at an early hour yesterday
morning. This was the vessel that was to
beat the American ship e. K. Wood across
the Pacific. The Yankee arrived here
about three weeks ago, discharged her
cargo and is now loading lumber at Port
Blakeley. The Sierra Marinda made the
trip in SO days, and had a very rough time
of it. Gale after gale swept down upon the
vessel, and number of sails were blown
out of the boltropes. The forward boat
was smashed and carried away from the
davlts, and everything movable on deck
was washed overheard.
The British ship Wasdale, which made a
quick trip from Liverpool, arriving yester-
day in lis days, also had rough passage.
The weather down to and around the
Horn was fine, but furious gales were en-
countered in the Pacific, several big seas
were shipped, and number of the crew
were injured. Augustus Thayes, a sea-
man, was knocked down by sea and had
his leg broken, and was badly cut about
the head. The unfortunate fellow was de-
lirious for two days

Objects to the kindergarten idea.

Maria Hudley of 1910 Baker street yesterday
said concerning Professor Fritz ScheePs musi-
cal estimate of San Francisco: "In answer TO
an article in Fridays March 22) CALL headed
More Like kindergarten l would like to say
that 1t seems to me San Francisco can take
slap IN the lace better than any city know of,
and l have travelled over q great part of the
world. Here is very second-elass musician

calls for the use of thirteen different colors
in the decoration of the rooms, only two
have been used, and that, moreover, the
job is not being done in workmanlike
manner. The matter will come up before
the Commissioners at the meeting on Tues
day morning next, and the contractor will
be called upon to explain why he has not
done the work according to specifications.

the United States all athletes are watch
ing closely the results in the American
Athletic union championship events IN
Manhattan field today, hopeful that rec
ords would be broken, but they were
doomed to disappointment as only two
RECORDS were equalled during the after
noon. The international games, which
will take place next Saturday, between
the representatives of the London Attn
letic club and those chosen by the New
York Athletic club, have put the athletic
cranks on edge to get possible clue to
the proba bilitles. Every one of the Lon
don men and Cambridge college athletes
occupied boxes in the grand stand.
Every movement of the Americans was
closely watched by the visitors, and
when the world s record time was
equalled by Wefers in the 220.yard Hat
race they generously applauded. The
Boston boy distinguished himself by
beating out the western crack, Crum, in
the final of the 100-yards dash with a
fifth or second up his sleeve. The
timers disagreed as to the exact time,
which was given as 10 seconds fiat, but
two of the officials and several reporters
who.Bhad watches on the boys, made it
40 seconds. Crum' showing today did
not fulfill all that was expected OF him,
but he seems to be running a bit off.
Although the Iowan would not give in,
his legs seem to trouble him. but it is
quite possible he will redeem his lost
laursls when the test comes on Saturday.
The 220-yard hurdle race was run in
two trial heats and final. Cady won
the first heat from Cohen, who was four
feet In the rear in % 1-5 seconds. The
second heat was won by S. A. Syme of
the New Jersey Athletic club. who ran it
in the same time. His final effort. in
which he succeeded in covering the dis
lance faster, bad fail over the next to
the last hurdle, stamped him as plucky
racer. and he ended in 26 80 seconds,
beating Cohen of New Jersey by three
yards in easy fashion. Sam Liebgold
won the ono ana three fourth mile walks
as he pleased. His brother Louis was the
only contestant that could push him.
