CIGNS of the first pale dawn that rose be-
- hind the Berkeley hills touched the thickl
white fog lowering over the Golden Gate, and
dimly lighted scene of tragedy unparalleled
in Pacific Coast shipping. 1t was 5:20 Febru-
ary 22 1901. The channel was calm as great
black liner drifted through a rift in the fog
toward Fort Point Suddenly, without warning
the fog bank closed down like a blanket The
vessel struck sharply with her starboard bow
ripped gaping hole in her plates-and sank in
ten minutes.
She was the il-fated Pacific Mail steamship RIO
de Jdneiro, bound home from China SEAS carry
ing 210 souls, passengers and crew. Her cargo
was immensely vauable-a large new crop Of
rice, bales of silk, tea specie and treasure. The
gold and treasure alone were estimated at
100000; the entire cargo at nearly $2000OOO.
Over half the people aboard were lost, total
CT 128 men, women and children The cargo
was never recovered. The wreck ITSELF which
sank in 80 fathoms of water, has not been To-
Gated after 35 years. and her disappearance is
a mystery of the sea still unsolved

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS


Nov 81, 1579-Sir Thomas Gresham
died, destined to be remembered
through centuries for "Gkesham's
Law" 1t is not a law on any statute
book. It is an economic law to which
he called attention, that usually ope-
rates in opposition to man made sta
tuteS.
But Gresham didn't originate the
economic principle which bears his
name. 1t was expressed earlier by
Nicholas Oresme, scientist whom the
French King Charles V called in for
advice when his subjects lost faith
in the value of the country's cur
rency. Oresme called attention to
repeated devaluation of the franc by
issuance of more currency and point
ed out that if poor money and better
money were in circulation at the
same time, the inevitable result
would be that the people would hang
on to the better money and spend
the poorer. The bad money would
drive out the good. Thus the total
amount of money in use would be re-
duced instead of increased, and trade
will be CONSTRUCTED.
Gresham, however, doesn't have to
share credit for one thing; the rec
ord for high-priced drinks. He toast
es Queen Elizabeth with a $4,000
drink of wine. The Spanish ambas-
sador to London boosted of the lavish
ness of his sovereign's court. Gre
sham arranged a sumptuous dinner.
When wine was served, he brought
out a pearl which he had refused
$4,000, ground it to gifts, placed these
in his glass, and downed them with
wine

does not contemplate making any
changes in the State auditors OF
flee right at first and that he prob
ably will make very few changes I'M
til the General Assembly adjourns.
It is generally expected here, how
ever, that Pou will eventually put in
almost a completely new staff in the
auditors office. Thad Eure is also
expected to retain most of the pres
ent employees in the office of the sec
rotary O. tate until after the Gene
raj Assembly meets, although it is
believed he will make some dras-
tic changes in the personnel of that
office later on.
It had been expected that w. Kerr
Scott would probably conduct thor
ough hcuse-cleaining in the Depart
ment of Agriculture as soon as he
took off ce in January, and that most
of the division heads and employees
would be looking for new jobs, if
they are not already dong SO. But
he indicated here this week that
while he will make lew changes
as soon as he takes Office ne intends
to proceed slowly and to give most
of the present employees an oppor-
tunity to show him what they can
do before deciding who he Will Keep

Most observers here belleve these
new State officials are using good
political judgment in deciolng not to
fire present employees on wnolesale
basis before or during the session OF
the General Assembly, also tnat 1t is
good sense to give these oio einployes

A worse blow came when Presi-
