Carnegie enjoyed yesterday hugely.
At Santa Cruz he inspected the $4,000
library which he gave the town and
then was taken to the big trees. He
paid his respects in particular to those
trees which were named after prom
inent men.
Il was too young to vote for Ere
mon.' said the ironmaster gazing up
at the tall namesake of the general,
but. thank God, l voted for Lincoln.
He paid respect to Grant as he passed
the tree and approaching Roosevelt
removed his hat as he said:
Roosevelt is just as straight man
as that tree is straight tree; there is
no sham about him. He is the most
phenomenal man in the world today"
At luncheon Carnegie responded to an
expression of thanks from Mayor L. w.
Drullard for thel library which he had
given the town. He was presented with
three small redwood trees by President
III. A. Van c. Torchiana of the chamber
of commerce. He declared that he would

Woman Pursues Steel King

Mrs. Donald Mclean, who says she
is Carnegie's second cousin, went to
Pajaro to meet the party today and is
said to have tried TO force her way
into Carnegie's private car. At Apton
she slipped into the car, her purpose,
supposedly, to have been to ask Car
negie for donation for church or
gan. Carnegie denied knowing her and
later refused to allow her to enter an
automobile when she attempted to join
his party. Mrs. Mclean said Carnegie
had written her letter and sent her
two kilograms asking her to meet him.
A busy day has been planned for
Carnegie. At noon he will be the guest
of the chamber of commerce at a
luncheon at the Cliff house, and at
stone of the new Scottish hall in Lar
kin street In the evening he will be
the guest of honor at a banquet to be
given in the st. Francis. There will
be places for $50.
The Carnegie apartments at the ST.
Francis are on the fifth floor. There
are two parlors, a private dining room,
five bedrooms for members of the
party and four for servants. The SER
wants are on the same floor with their
employer

Obligation of Wealth

The obligation of wealth, he said,
lay in that it affords an opportunity
for education and advancement and in
giving scientists the opportunity of
| research work.
That is what is being done in the
Carnegie institute" he continued.
Professor Murray of oxford told me
that the Carnegie institute in the first
seven years of its existence had done
more for the furtherance of human
progress than oxford university had
done in its entire history.
1--WE have the observatory on Mount
Wilson, which 1 intend to visit. and
the world have gathered. They are
making valuable discoveries there
Carnegie spoke of all his works in that
impersonal way.
Now the idea that there are canals
on Mars is foolish. The observatory
aims at practical things and does not
speculate.
Now it was suggested to the instf-
tute that ne compass on an iron or
steel ship can be accurate because of
the attraction of the magnet for the
iron. 1t was advised that ship of
bronze, which is not magnetic, be con-
structed. One was built. 1t did not
have a single bit of iron about it. 1t
was named the Carnegie, after the in
stitute," he added naively.
Now that ship has cruised about
correcting charts and it has been found
that there is the greatest inaccuracies
existing on the charts owing to the
defections of the magnetic needle on
the usual steel ship.
This cruise showed that the charts
of the British admiralty were defective
That is a great thing for this young re-
public today-a splendid vocation--to
correct the Inaccuracies of the old
world, to guide the older nations"
That there were other errors in Brit
ain outside the charts of the admiralty

pay taxes on them, as 1 should on
valuation commensurate with the value
of improved property in the vicinity.
The assessed valuation, therefore, is
within 10 per cent of what the lots
would bring on the market. And every
three years they are reappraised. Now
if they were situated in London I would
pay but nominal rate on the prop
erty. Property should be taxed in re-
lation to the value of the adjacent
property. Now, near the port of Glas-
Cow, Scotland, there was property held
on which tax was paid which was
what the tax on agricultural land
would be. But when the municipality
bought that land it. paid 100000 pounds
sterling for the property 1t is an in
famous system

Mccarthy Cut by Businessmen

For the second time within a few
weeks Mayor p. II. Mccarthy has been
given the cut direct by the chamber of
commerce. There is no quarrel be-
tween the mayor and the members of
the chamber-far from it. But yet
there may be differences of opinion
where no open animosity exists.
Mayor Mccarthy is not to be q guest
at the banquet to be given Andrew
Carnegie tonight by the chamber of
commerce. He was not invited. The
list of guests is conspicuous for the
absence of his name, and it is not due
to the receipt of the mayors regrets
that his name does not appear on the
list. He was considered-no one de-
nies that--but 1t was decided that the
social amenities, which might have
been best conserved by extending an
invitation to him, were not of so great
Importance as the preservation of
peace.
Explanations were naturally avoided
as long as possible, but they were easy
enough to make. In view of the fact
that the mayor, in the course of a pub
lie speech last Sunday, denounced An
drew Carnegie as "a foul sot of philan-
thropy," it would have been the height
of folly to have expected him to attend

feast at which Carnegie was to be
the honored guest.
But explanations are not always so
simple.
few weeks ago the chamber of
commerce of Los Angeles visited San
francisco on special excursion and
the southern commercial men were the
guests of the local chamber at an eob-
crate banquet. Aayor Mccarthy is not
upon record as ever having termed the
Los Angeles men foul sots'' or ever
having applied any other uncompli-
mentary term to them. So far as is
known the mayor holds the southern
ers in the highest esteem. Yet the
mayor was not invited to the CONNER
clal banquet, at which many local no.
ia bleS were guests.
somehow there seems to be q strange
relation between the two incidents
tollowlng the commercial banquet
members of the committee of arrange
ments for the affair were loath to dis
cuss the mayors absence, which was
generally commented upon 1t was
only by devious methods and persistent
inquiry that the information finally
was elected that the mayors absence
was not due to indispostion upon his
part, but to his failure to receive an
invitation. Furthermore it was learned
that the question of inviting him had
been raised in committee and was only
disposed of after long debate.
