port to the Board of Charities and Cor

Irvine plant built this year at the peni-
Tertiary. Practically no work was done

cry. However, Swenson has. counted that

if the convicts were numerous enough tc.

Investigating Wreck.
Investigation was started at once today
to fix the blame for the wreck Of last
night when a Rock Island fair grounds
passenger struck a Fort Des Moines street
car filled with people. Councilman Ham
cry, who is superintendent of the depart
ment Of safety, said today that no arrests
will be made for the present. Up to to-
night no deaths had resulted, though a
number are seriously injured. The street
car was packed with people, many standing
in the aisles and on the front and rear
platforms. The street car gained the
middle of the Rock Island track before the
motorman discovered the mistake and al
most instantly 1t was struck by the engine
and carried thirty feet and lodged against
the framework OF bridge across the Des
Moines river. But for this bridge the car
full Of people would have been carried
into the river.
AS nearly as can be ascertained at this
time the street car conductor misunder-
stood the signal of the flagman stationed
at the crossing. The flagman claims that
he signaled the Rock Island passenger to
proceed. 1t is claimed, however, that the
flagman used the wrong flag or else that
in the dusk Of the evening the motorman
could not see the color of the flag.

OLD DAYS RECALLED
AS to the building which this one

all know more than l do. You all
know how it was built by those
who bore the heat and burden of
the early days, how great bust
ness matters were consummated
within its walls, how children
were born there, how young men
and maidens loved and married
there; how, in the course of years.
people died there and were buried
from there, and how, after our
great calamity, its walls standing
strong and naked, called forth our
tears for the grim warrior who
stood as best he could after the
battle, reminding us of all our
strength and youth, and love. and
JOY, and everything so closely
bound in our hearts.
So much for the past. The king
Is dead, long live the king And
so we come to the living present

ADDRESS BY GEORGE A. KNIGHT
George A. knight spoke of the old
days, dwelling on the persons who had
made the name of the city great and
mentioning in particular the builders
/ of the Palace.
'To live in the heart is not to die.
Individuals stand out prominently in
history, men who have builded fame for
! themselves and for eternity. One of
! these was w. c. Ralston."
The speaker related how the Palace
! idea was conceived by Falston in con-
versation with Charles FELTON,, how the
banker said that he would build a no.
tel that would be a pride to the people
of the city and the wonder of the
world"
He reviewed the management of War
rem Leland, of Alexander d. Sharon and
the men who followed. He told of the
illustrious men who had slept under its
roof-of Sheridan, of Pacheco. Scofeld,
Henry W. Dodge, General Grant, Prin-
cess Louise, King Kalakaua, Roosevelt,
Taft, Don Pedro. the duke of Sutherland
and a host of others. He paid tribute
to the early pioneers, Stanford, Crocker,
Huntington. Flood, Sloss and Hearst,
and said that as long as the blood Of
these men flowed in the veins of their
sons the city would remain forever the
metropolis Of the west.
