HOW TO MAKE AMERICANS.


Principal Horne of Kamehameha
school spoke of the great events of
Franklfn's life, telling how he had
been governor of Pennsylvania at
eighty years of age and until he had
refused longer to accept the place. He
spoke very eloquently, and was follow
ed by United States District Attorney
Breckons, who paid a high tribute to
Franklin as being second to no other
American in his life and work From
the drawing down of the lightning
from the sky TO the achievements of
the master mind in diplomacy, Frank
lin yielded first place to none.
And in the course of his remarks,
which closed the meeting, Mr.. Breck-
ons advanced the timely suggestion
that this should be only the first of a
series Of gatherings to be held for the
discussion of the lives and 1abors of
men eminent in American history at

EXPOs|1I0n.,B|

WASHINGTON, January Ga bill
to provide for a Pacific Ocean Exs
position at San Francisco in 1913 was
introduced by Representative Kahn in
the House today. His bill is framed
upon the most meritorious features of
laws enacted by Congress for the Co
lumbar and Louisiana Purchase ex-
positions. 1t provides for q Govern
ment commission of nine members,
appointed by the President, and nom
partisan in character to have con-
troll of Government interests in the
proposed exposition. Five million dol
lars is appropriated by the bill, con-
ditioned upon the raising of a similar
amount by the people of San Fran
cisco and California. In addition to
the appropriation it is provided that
the United States shall erect a build
ing at cost of $3.50, 900 for housing
Government exhibits, this building to
be sold TO the city of San Francisco or
exposition company at the close of the
exposition.
The bill provides for grand inter
national naval review in San Fran
cisco bay. The President is requested
TO invite all nations TO send war YES

kept open that long with profit.
One reason for offering the bill at
this time is to forestau the rumored
action on the part of Los Angeles in
terests looking to the holding IF

1909 or later, in celebration of the
completion of the Panama canal. Rep

though by all odds the most damaging.
For many years the municipal au-
thorities refused to permit tall build
ings in the city because of the fear OF
earthquakes, several of which had al
ready been experienced. Finally the
Introduction was removed, however,
and number of skyscrapers resulted.
Prior to 1890 there was hardly a
building in excess of five stories and
only few of that height Today there
is one eighteen stories high and quite
number from twelve to fourteen
stories
In the spring of 1898, about 10 o'clock
one night the city had a seismic shock
that put TO test its high structures. 1t
was the worst earthquake since 1865,
when for eight or nine blocks on the
cracked open several inches.
In the upheaval of 1898 the tall build
ings were given fearful shaking, and
some of their occupants were made
dizzy and sick The structures were
uninjured, and ever since that time
there has not been SO much question
Of the safety of high buildings of mod
ern construction-that. is, buildings Of
structural iron frame and facings Of
pressed brick, terra Gotta or stone.
1t was NJ. H. De Young the proprie-
tor and editor of the Chronicle, who
was the pioneer in this respect. He
met with opposition from the munich
pal authorities fourteen years ago when
he decided 10 erect a ten story house
for his newspaper. 1t was believed 10
be a dangerous undertaking because Of
the earthquake fear but Mr.. De Young
won out and thereby set an example OF
enterprise TO other wealthy men who
have since built more tall buildings.
For instance, u. O. Mills, the New
York banker who owns a great deal
of San Francisco property, has one Of
the tallest and finest structures I'm the

In The freight.

The fire upon the hearth is low
And there is stiffness everywhere,
While winged spirits, here and there,
Like freight shadows round me creep
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a farther room
Comes, Now / lay me down to sleep"
And somehow, with that little prayer
And that treble in my ears,
My thoughts go back to distant years
And linger with loved one there;
And as hear my child's Amen,
Ny mothers faith comes back to me
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again,
Oh, for an hour in that dear place!
Oh, for the peace of that dear time!
Oh, for the childish trust sublimel
Oh, for glimpse of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
l do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone,
And Now / lay me down to sleep"

The practical destruction of six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense

throughout San Francisco and the en-

Charleston earthquake OF a few years
ago.
San Francisco has suffered from
many slight seismic shocks. one of
them occurring about Il year ago At

one Of the papers, signed by pro
fessor In one of the obServatories near
