The wide interest in American
genealogy is responsible for the publ
cation by the government of the CEN
sus returns of 1890 in the states in ex-
istence at that time. This census con-
sisted of an enumeration of the popu-
lation and was the original documents
as preserved in the census office in a
collection Of oddly assorted volumes,
the marshals having been obliged to
furnish their own blanks. Because the
names of heads of families we're in.
cluded in this compilation the books
have been in great demand by people
tracing their ancestry, and it is for
the benefit of these that publication
is being made. When completed the
pamphlets will be for sale.

ARCHITECTS HEAR
CONCRETE PAPER
Harrison Albright Discusses Building
Material, and Tells Its History
and What Is Expected of
1t in Future

At the regular meeting of the archi-
tectural draughtsmen last night Har-
rison Albright, the architect, read an
exhaustive paper on the subject of re-
inforced concrete, and at it's conclusion
he was given vote of thanks by the
two-score young draughtsmen present.
Mr.. Albright reviewed the history of
reinforced concrete architecture from
the time of it's first known use in
Carthage, the most ancient city of
Egypt, where, over two thousand years
ago, an aqueduct seventy miles long
was constructed of concrete to fur
nish the water supply of the city. To
cross a valley, over one thousand
arches were built. Many of these were
100 feet high. and some of them are
standing today in a perfect state of
preservation.
To Hennebique is credited the first
to adopt the principle of reinforced
concrete columns, beams and girders,
and companies operating under his
patents alone have erected buildings
which have cost upward of sec, 900 900.
Mr.. Albright declared that the use of
reinforced concrete will continue to eX-
pand as it has in the past and extend
to all parts of the world, until every
village, town and city will boast of
it's reinforced concrete buildings.
lie Sdlu lHdL Tie dDSOlulS HTtpTOOI
features alone make 1t most desirable,
as should the fact that it does not de-
teriorate with age, but becomes
stronger, making repairs unnecessary,
which cannot be said Of any other
building material.
Twenty-Five years ago, he said, the
total annual production of cement in
the United States was $4,000 barrels,
while in 1906 the production had in
creased to 100000 barrels.
Mr.. Albright quoted from reports
showing that reinforced concrete build
ings subject to the great fires in Bos-
ton, Chicago and Baltimore were un-
harmed, and he declares that If San
Francisco had had any considerable
number of buildings constructed of re-
inforced concrete the city by the Golden
Gate would not now be in ruins, as
such structures not only Withstand
fire, but are unharmed by earthquakes,
as was demonstrated at Leland Stan
ford, Jr., university as the time of the
catastrophe last April.

GIANTS LEAVE
FOR THE SOUTH
M'GRAW'S MEN EXPERIENCE A
RUN OF HARD LUCK
Fourth Scheduled Game Is Called OFF
and New Workers Start Toward
FL Paso-WiII Return
Next Year

John McGraw and his New York
Giant team left for Ell Paso last night,
suffering pangs of disappointment re-
garding their failure to get in at least
game during the past four days. A
great chance for the IT told you so"
crowd might be in order now, as Nc
Graw left Los Angeles for San Fran
cisco with ideal training weather exist
ing here.
Nevertheless the New Workers. were
evidently endeaVoring to do their best
and wanted to let coast fans in general
see them at work. With rain in the
north Saturday and Sunday no San
Francisco games could be played. The
expense of transportation and hotel
bills amounted to no inconsiderable fig
ure.
Back to Los Angeles came McGraw
with an idea of meeting the Seraphs at
Chutes park Monday. A late train
brought them to the city too late for
the game. Surely there would be things
doing at the Washington street park
yesterday and McGraw contented him
self with the idea that at least a por-
ton of the expenses would be chalked
off. But, alas, Sir Jupiter shed Just
enough tears to make sad both Nc
Graw, his players and the fans who
had waited patiently for a final ap-
pedIdIlCe VI lHe CeleDraIeQ diamond
artists.
All in all, however, the Giants visit
to Los Angeles may be counted most
successful one. With the exception OF
the unfortunate session which began
| Saturday, McGraw lost scarcely a day
of consistent practice. Had he been
able to round off with the good inten-
tions which went amiss every man or
the squad would have been thoroughly
prepared to taper down to the finishing
touches which sheuld precede a big
league season.
Both McGraw and Manager Knowles
had nothing but good words to utter
last night regarding the treatment ac-
corded them while in Los Angeles. Each
was anxious to tell what a royal gooC
fellow has been Henry Berry, and the
fact that the Giants will again come tC
Southern California another year is
due in a great measure to the countless
courtesies extended them by the loca
management.
After playing at El Paso the Giants
will work their way through the soutf
before opening the league season al

JACK SULLIVAN
.ENGLISHMAN TRAINING HARD
AT EAST SIDE
Is GIutton for Work and May Give
Twin a urprise-Referee
Question Hangs
Fire

AS though they had not the slightest
fear of Jack Palmers rim, prowess
local dopesters have already placed
Jack Sullivan as favorte over the Eng
lish heavyweight who is to do him
battle at Maud Junction next Tuesday
evening.
Despite the fact, however, that Sulli-
vans chances are liked the Briton
continues to prove an attraction at the
east side gymnasium quarters where
he has been steadily preparing for the
fray One thing may be said relative
to Palmer's training and that is that he
apparently does not know what it
means to slow up.
Stamina has ever been a feature of
the English athlete and in distance
events on foot they have time and again
defeated their American brothers.
TO go route in the ring, however, is
something of a different proposition,
and Jack Sullivan is noted for being
able to wade through a savage battle
and be around when the final gong
sounds.
Necessarily the Briton is generally
supposed to be at his best after a
rather lengthy training process, and
this Palmer has been unable to expert
ence in view of the short notice given
him in connection with the present
schedule.
Manager McCarey forms one Of the
colony at present occupying the east
side club quarters Tom finds it very
convenient to take little exercise and
is gaining weight every day.
The referee question is hanging fire
again, and the problem" has not yet
been solved satisfactorily. Several are
after the position, but the club officials
will probably think long and often be-
fore making another move.

Librarians Promise to Young Woman
Meets with Bitter Opposition
by Senate, Arguing for

Four members of the civil service
commission faced twenty women MEM
bers of the public library senate for an
hour yesterday afternoon and came out
of the ordeal without a scratch.
1t all hinged on the case of Miss Julia

whom Librarian Charles r. Lummis
had promised a place. over this prom
Use all the employees are up in arms.
If Miss Blandy is given the oppor-
tunity of taking two examinations in
one day-for general attendant and as
sistant principal-as seems likely, she
will figuratively jump over the heads
of the eight members of the training
class who served a six months proba-
ton without pay, and be in line with
employees of the local library who have
put in years of work here.
The senate is fighting the idea on
principle.
A half dozen of the best speakers in
the library, led by Miss Nellie Beckley,
argued with the commissioners.
"sets Bad Precedent"
Briefly, they said it set a bad prece-
dent, disheartening to faithful en-
ployes. Miss Blandy should serve six
months probation, just as all others
here DO she deserved no IlOIe JUSTICE
than the eight young women who
would suffer in the line of eligibility.
The fact was not proved that she had
yielded chance to get a good position
| in Portland, Ore, on Mr.. Lummts'
promise to find her job here.
All the talking ran along these lines:
Commissioner Young felt that Miss
Blandy should be placed because of the
promise held out to her.
you young women should be chari-
table-should exercise the golden rule"
was his advice.
1t fell on deaf ears. The debate start
ed afresh.
Chairman Perplexed
Chairman Haynes said that the case
was unfortunate, as every employe in
the public library was up in arms.
THE eff cheney of every department
of public service depends on the whole
heartedness with which it's work is con-
Quoted by the employees. Good feeling
should prevail" he said.
"If this commission should back
track every time a department rises
up in wrath it would be a very flexible
body" retorted Commissioner Young.
1--WE are in this position because Mr..
Lummis has undergone a change or
opinion on rules" said Chairman
Haynes.
The case was finally taken under ad-
visement.

Mrs. B. Canzone, 914 East Ninth
street, was severely burned by the ex-

of her house early last night.
Mrs. Canzone was sitting near the
table on which the lamp stood when
it exploded. The woman tore the table
cloth, which had caught fire. from the
table and attempted to throw 1t out
of the window. Her dress caught fire
and by the time help reached her she
was badly burned. The loss was
about $40.
