SPEECH BY CARNEGIE
Carnegie bowed as he removed his
rough gray hat, and during his ad-
dress gestured freely with it in en-
phasizing his points. He said:
When I came to California l
expected to see many new things
and many strange things, many
things that would arouse my won
derment. But the sight that is be-
fore my eyes at this moment is be-
yond anything that I had fmag

Visit to Oakland Library
OAKLAND, March 13.-Andrew Car
negie viewed for the first time today
the library building which he gave to
the city of Oakland several years ago.
The building was the first public place
he visited on his trip to this side of the
bay this afternoon, lack of time pre-
venting the steel magnate from in
specting the Margaret Carnegie library
which he founded at Mills college in
honor of his daughter.
Carnegie reached the free public Ii
brary at Fourteenth and Grove streets
at 2:30 o'clock. He sat wrapped in lap
robes in the tonneau of a touring car,
with Mrs. Carnegie at his side. There
were two machines to carry the party,
which was made up of Dr. and Mrs.
Laurence Draper, Judge and Mrs. w. W.
Morrow and Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Foster
The machines stopped in Fourteenth
street and the library builder was
helped to the sidewalk. He viewed the
building from the sidewalk, chatting
with Librarian Charles S. Greene and
the staff. Then he was taken inside
the building.
In the children's room Carnegie
stayed for several minutes, reading the
notices on the walls and looking at
interest in the mural paintings, but
seemed to care nothing about the alle-
gorical nature of the pictures. The oil
portrait of himself pleased the donor
of the building more, for he smiled
broadly as he stared at the faithful
likeness.
The philanthropist passed only
rev moments in the building before
he was on his way to Berkeley In
side the library, however, he tarried a
few minutes to caress Morton and Isa-
belle Lindley, children of years or so,
who had accompanied one of the
library attendants to the place to gaze
at the famous Scot
