A creditable library is just being es-

not such great distance between a

south and will probably never be ablt
to return, but this library will remain
as a monument to her literary tastes
and interest in the dissemination ol
good literature. Two professional mer
of the city were selected to address the
woman's club on the appointed tfth
Saturday. One of them presented the
value and necessity of library in so
convincing q manner there seemed
nothing else to do but to inaugurate the
work. The other presented a general
plan for raising the necessary funds.
which was carried out to the letter.
This was followed by pulpit discussions
OF the beneficert and refining influences
of good books. The newspapers coop
Grated most cordially. A mass meeting
was held and subscriptions called for at
the close of an effective exhortation.
Then twelve committees were appoint.
cd to solicit funds, each committee be-
ing assigned specific district, of which
the members of the respective commit
tees were residents. The most hopeful
had expected to raise - 500. When the
business districts, which have usually
been mainly relied upon for subscIip-
lion purposes. failed to meet expects-
lions. it seemed that the effort would
not be the success hoped for. But the
'ystem was 30 thorough and complete
or csnvassing purposes that when the
residence districts were heard from
he result was pledges for nearly $1,000.
In addition to the cash subscriptions
more than one thousand volumes have
'een presented to the library. What.
yer may be the usual experience in this
'ork it is fair to say that greater
ortion OF these contributions are eli.
ible to place on the shelves.

ppointed and it is expected that in
ew weeks the public library will be in

The surprising part of it all was the
eadiness OF the public to respond. A
ominant enthusiasm was easily aroused.
t was soon discovered that well-to-do
itizen had already anticipated the
natter and had stipulation in his will
o set aside $4,000 of his estate to erect

Disappearance Of Alexander Hall, a
Wealthy Farmer, Living Near
Sacrarn enfO

Alexander Hall, a we'll known and
wealthy farmer living near Sacramento,
has been missing since Saturday and 1t
is now thought he went down with the
steamer San Rafael Hall left Sacra-
mento at 1 o'clock Saturday to visit his
friend Patrick Cassidy at San Rafael, and
he was to take the boat for that place at
6:15 o'clock. His disappearance lends
color to the belief that he fell a victim to
the disaster which shocked the entire
State.
Alexander Hall was well known In this
city. His cousin, Robert Cassidy, a track
man, lives at ia Lily avenue. Patrick
Cassidy, a brother of Robert, lives at San
Rafael. where he conducts a draying busi-
made the trip from Sacramento to this
city Saturday. arriving just in time to
make the 6:15 boat for SausalitO
Robert Hall, a son of the supposed VIC
tim of the bay disaster, arrived here on
the hunt for his missing father yester-
day He was. Joined during the day by
Patrick Cassidy, and all of the emergency
hospitals were visited. No traces Of the
missing man were discovered. The two
searchers went to San Rafael last night in
the hope of finding some clew as to his
whereabouts in that section, If indeed he
is still alive.
Robert Cassidy said last night:
do not doubt that Hall went down with the
San Rafael He was to take that boat on her
heard from since leaving Sacramento con-
vinces me that he was passenger on the ill
fated vessel. Had he not been, he would GER
tainly have shown up and made his where
abouts known to his family. He was always
very particular about acquainting his wife and
children Of his movements while away from
home. He intended to visit his wife, who Is
i'll in a sanitarium at Iivermore, but he has
not been seen there since the bay accident
This convinces that he is either dead or Iy-
ing somewhere in condition which prevents
him from communicating with his wife or SON.
Hall was about 80 years Of age, over
six feet tall, and of slender build. He had
bright eyes, set deep in their sockets; his
face was thin and complexion ruddy. He
wore a mustache and close-cropped hair
tinged with gray. He was a man Of
wealth, and we'll liked by all who knew
him. Every care is being taken to keen
the news Of his disappearance a secret

Mrs. Clara Kingsley, for whom much

returned this morning on one of the early

San Rafael and returned, staying with
friends in San Francisco over Sunday.
She was the last of the Sausalito people
on the sunken vessel to be accounted for.

The wreckers were out looking for the
remains of the San Rafael yesterday, but
none Of them have any hopes of locating
her bones, let alone raising the vessel.
Diver Roach says she is somewhere near
the City of Chester, while Captain White
law is of thefppinion that she is some
where in the Vicinity of the place where
the Rio sank. He said yesterday:
There was a strong flood tide running at the
time OF the collision. The current would carry
the steamer down toward Lime Point. Accord
ing to the best fnforma tion she hOated for
twenty-five minutes, and must, therefore, have
sunk on the edge Of the ffteen-fathom bank.
If she escaped that and was carried further
