POOR MAN'SSCHOOl
Structure Costing $250,OO0 to
Rise on Old Post Street
Near Kearny Site

The cornerstone of the new Mechan-
les institute was lowered into place
and cemented in by a silver trowel
yesterday afternoon in the presence
of the officers and a large number of
members of the institute. In a nine
story f1reproof steel building the So
clety comes back to it's own on its old
and familiar site in the south side of
Post street between Montgomery and
kearny. Its history and its future
plans, when its s250,000 home is COM
pleted next April were the themes of
the addresses of Rudolph ]. Taussig,
president of the trustees, and Prof.
Henry Morse Stephens of the Univer-
sity of California in the exercises that
preceded the formal laying of the
stone.
Joined together as it is said Presi-
dent Taussig, speaking from the rough
platform draped with Portola colors,
with the old Mercantile library asso-
citation, 1 can not help thinking that
the Mechanics institute has great
future before it, not merely as a IL
brfry, but as one of the factors in the
educational system of San Francisco"
The institute began its career in
1895 with room in the upper story of
building where the Kohl building
now stands. Three years later it held
the first of its annual fairs. which be-
came in 1882 features of the Mechan-
les pavilion at Larkin and Hayes
streets. Part of the pavilion site was
mortgaged to provide for the building
now under construction. The Post
street lot itself, bought in 1868 for
$4,000, is now appraised at $500, 600.
In regard to the Institutes future
plans President Taussig said:
We wish not only to collect books
but as our means make it possible we
wish to go ahead and establish lee
lures and courses of study for members

WITH BULLET IN BRAIN
Doctors Hope for Recovery of
Victim of Wife's Wrath

According to the latest reports DIR.
Walter Alvin Lampe, whose wife shot
him week ago in their apartments in
the Hotel Holland, has a chance to re-
cover. For several days after the
shooting DR.. James PRESLEY, who is at
tending the wounded man, despaired of
his life. 1t was not thought he could
live with the bullet three-fifths of the
way in his brain, but like other strange
turns of nature Doctor Lampe seems to
be gaining strength and probably will
survive. the wound.
Since the shooting Doctor Lampe has
been at St Thomas hospital, 500 Page
street. 1t was there, by means of the
X-ray, that Doctor Presley and his
associates located the bullet For sew
eral days after the shooting brain mat
ter oozed from the wound.
Mrs. Lampe is being held at the CITY
prison waiting developments before she
is charged and given a preliminary ex-
animation. She is in a highly nervous
state, insisting that she did not mean
to shoot her husband; that she merely
intended frightening him to stop his
abuse.

growers in this section Of the state

NO HERD LAW At
MONITOR

Some of the people of Monitor had
an idea that a herd law was estab-
lished in that section in accordance
with the provisions of the last legis-
lature. Judge Grimshaw, however.
decided that the legal steps have not
been complied with in the formation
of this herd district. The case was
instituted by L. Sharp, who some
time ago had Guy Chapman, Dude
Brown and Fred Claypool arrested
for allowing their stock to run at
large. These men employed Ira
Thomas to defend them and the pre-
liminary trial was held before Judge
Fleisher, of Monitor. He held that
the men were guilty of violating the
law and imposed penalty. An ap-
peal was taken to Judge Grimshaw.
who reversed the decision of the JUS
tice court and held that the herd dis
trict of Monitor had not been legally
constituted. County Attorney Kemp
represented the state In this action.

MILLIONS To FIGHT

TWENTY-EIGHT STATES APPRO-
PIRATE 100000 FOR SUP
PRESTON OF THE DISEASE
PLAN SANITARIUMS.

New York, Oct 8.-Appropriation
of over 100000 for the suppress
sion of consumption have been made
by twenty-eight state legislatures in
session during the last year, accord
ing to statement issued today by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis.
Since January 1, 1909, forty-three
state and territorial legislatures
have been in session. OF this num-
Der, twenty-eight have passed laws
pertaining to tuberculosis; eight
others have considered such legisla-
ton, and In only seven states no
measures about consumption were
presented. In all, 101 laws relating
to tuberculosis we're considered and
out of this number Ga were passed.
OF the sixty-four laws passed, four
teen were in reference to building
new state institutions. New state
sanatoria for tuberculosis will be
built in Pennsylvania, Connecticut
(where three will be erected), Ore
gon, South Dakota, North Dakota,
and Florida. There are now twenty
seven states where such institutions
have been established.
Hospitals for Patients.
Every state east of the Mississippi,
except Illinois, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, South Carolina
and Mississippi, has provided hos
pitfalls for tuberculosis patients.
Five states, Illinois, New York,
Ohio, Minnesota and Iowa, passed
laws giving their county officers
power to erect tuberculosis sanatoria.
In Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land, New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa
and Kansas laws providing for the
strict reporting and registration Of
tuberculosis were passed. The Ma
tional Association considers laws of
this character as the first requisite in
nearly 100000 to be spent only for
an organized moement against tuber-
culosis.
Ten states have this year granted
the education of the public about tu-
berculosis.
Yearly Death Toll.
On the basis of 10000 deaths
yearly from tuberculosis in the Unit
ed States, the United Association for
the Study and Prevention OF Tuber-
culosis computes that there are
684,934 persons constantly sick with
this disease.
