proved by the project Of police. In case
Of accident the chauffeur will be held
fully responsible If his speedometer reg
listers a speed Of over fifteen miles an

sponsibIe for an accident shall have his
license withdrawn for a period of two

Arranged to Catch King.

So she arranged that one morning when
the king was taking his morning walk
by the side of the lake near the palace
she should throw herself in and
shout for help An attendant was to be
near at hand in case anything should go
wrong or if the king should refuse to play
the part prepared for him. But it seemed
almost certain that the king, who was
noted swimmer, would jump in to save
the singer
The singer found to her cost. however,
that opera singing and comedy are two
very different arts. Not only did the
king notice at once that the spot where
the half-submersed prima donna was APP
pealing for help was one of absolutely no
danger, but he also saw through the
meaning of the by-play Turning to his
secretary, he said: What q pity that
such an artist cannot put a play on bet
ter than that and then sent an equerry
to the diva and her ''rescuer to ten
them Of his displeasure. Fraulein
Schefsky, who had been eight years at
the Munich opera house. never sang there
again. though she eventually returned to
Munich when she retired from the stage

Reason Once Famous Prima
Donna Left Munich

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
BERN, November 80. 1872
With the death of the once famous
prima donna Fraulein Josephine Schefsky
at Munich the secret has been revealed,
after being religiously preserved for
forty years, of why the great singer SO
suddenly fell into disgrace in 1879 and
was practically compelled to leave
Munich to sing at the opera houses at
Nuremberg, Karlsruhe and Berlin. The
disgrace came from the within of two
people. one of whom was the opera singer
herself and the other Louis ii, King of
Bavaria. Fraulein Schefsky was the
principal star singer at the Munich opera
house, which in the reign of a king so
renowned for his generosity toward ar
lists Of all kinds meant a tacit assurance
of princely treatment.
Fraulein Schefsky, however. misunder-
stood the meaning of the many valuable
presents that were heaped upon her and
had some aspirations to become court
favorite. After much hesitation as to
how to achieve her end she decided that
for SO romantic mind as that of the
King of Bavaria nothing could make
stronger appeal than dramatic rescue
from drowning.

appropriate an aggregate OF a million
dollars for the same purpose. The
city of San Diego has bonded itself for
81 100000 to beautify Balboa park for
the purpose and another million to
improve the wharfage facilities.
AS the Panama-California exposition
is in no sense a rival of the Panama
Pacific exposition, planned to be held
in San Francisco, from May to October
of the same year, the two eXpositions
are working in harmony; one to be a
worlds fair, and the other to be an
unique exhibition of arts and sciences
in the most beautiful setting that can
be arranged for it.
The Panama California exposition
will show to the world what the Fran
ciscan fathers tried to do and what
the people of the southwest hope to do
with the heritage to be found in this
country's vast commercial possibili-
ties just touched by the moulding
hand of modern endeavOr.
San Diego is building her exposi-
ton now.

moment in grading and construction in

that knows how and when and where
to grasp. San Diego will show the
world that, far from being the back
door of America, the ports of the Pa
cific are in future to be the very front
steps of the front door.
San Diego is the place where be
gan all history on the Pacific coast.
At San Diego landed the first Spanish
navigator, Cabrillo, in 1912. Sixty
years later Viscaino. In the eighteenth
century came the spiritual conquests
of Junipero Sierra and the Franciscan
fathers associated with him. The his
tory of this place is crowded with fas-
cination, picturesque romance and ira
dition. Nothing can be more appro-
pirate than mission city along the
lines of Spanish colonial architecture,
the most beautiful inspiring and en-
during of all forms of American archi-
lecture.
To do this work San Diego has
called her most gifted sons. At the
head of the exposition stands Presi-
dent D. c. Collier, a man of energy
and genius; L. S. Grant, Jr., son of
the eighteenth president of the United
State, is chairman of the board of di-
rectors; Bertram G. Goodhue, world

Features of the San Diego exposi-

United States reclamation, forestra-
ton, conservation and immigration
bureau; archaeological material. the
most complete ever gathered in
America, covering the entire American

the peoples that ever lived on the
continent; the ancient ruins and rel

discovery and conquest of America

exposition the most beautiful exposi-
ton ever held in the world, and Who'll
ly unique. Millions of plants are be-
ing propagated now in a huge nursery
in the 1400-acre park for this purpose
The directors have ordered that all
buildings shall be finished by Janu-
ary 1, 1914, one year in advance, to
give the landscape architects and
gardeners a chance to grow the palms,
ferns, vines and Towering plants over
the buildings.
The structures finished and under
way are the Administration building,
the Memorial arch over the main en-
trance and the California state build
ing. Plans are almost ready for the
agricultural and horticultural build
ings.
All architecture and all ensembles
Of architecture and landscape are in
the beautiful Spanish colonial, or mis-
sion style. The scope of the eXposi-
ton covers the southwestern United
States, Mexico, Central and South

that the Latin-American architecture
grew to it's greatest beauty. The ex-
