A jury was impaneled in Judge Dunne's court yesterday in the case of George McFadden, charged ‘with murder, and the taking of testimony will be pro- ceeded with this morning. McFadden is eccused of the murder of Charles Tucker, an old man who came to this city from Martinez on April 28 and was found in a dying condition in the hallway of a lodg- ing house at 831 Howard street. McFad- den was the last person seen with him, and it is alleged that he robbed the old man and knocked him down, his death resulting from the fall.

R HERE was a famous gathering t of umbrellas in the grounds of | the University of California yes- terday afternoon to witness the laying of the cornerstone of the new Hearst Memorial Minipg Building. Plebeian cotton jousted ribs with aristo- cratic silk for the saving of radiant gowns and holiday attire, and in the dull gray light of a sunless day looked for all the world like a small forest of ebony hued mushrooms. The owners of these umbrellas began to assemble at the Mechanics building shortly ‘after 1 o’clock. There they wait- dismal concertos in a m:nor key quite in keeping with the wretched weather out- side. At 3 o'clock the rain had dwindled to a feathery mist and the order was given to form the academic procession and start for the place of ceremony. First came the regents in double file, and then the invited guests and the fdc- ulty, followed by the students in blue jeans, jumpers and overalls, Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, W. R. Hearst, President B. I. ‘Wheeler, Prof. 8. B. Christy, and Archi- have invisible $5.00 tect John Galen Howard, nearly 500 in all, After a long, circuitous tramp through slushy paths and over plank-covered mudholes the procession arrived at the site of the new building, where an am- phitheater of seats had been erected around a canopied platform near the cor- nerstone, which hung suspended from a crane above its proposed resting place. Mrs. Hearst and the chief dignitaries were escorted to places beneath the can- opy and the guests and students scal- tered themselves as best they could around the raised seats, but nobody sat down. The planks and chairs were too wet. Then the clouds opened up again and let loose a flood of chilling rain that even a fish would have shunned as too much of & good thing.The whole crowd shivered and some of the guests swore, but the ceremony went on, while hundreds of feet, from dainty 2's to cumbersome 9's, shifted and shuffled in sad and soddened sympathy. - AN APPROPRIATE MEMORIAL Professor Martin Kellogg offered a brief and fervent invocation, arter which the students lifted wet and mournful voices in the choral “Eine Feste Burg ist Unser Gott.” Then President Wheeler stepped from beneath the sheltering canopy where all could see him and bared his head to the falling rain while he delivered the following address: The act Which we perform here to-day marks the decisive step in the erection of a memorial to one of California’s most highly honored and best beloved men. He belonged to & day when_there were giants in the land and that day he fitly stands to characterize and rep- resent+stalwart, large-souled, open-handed, impatient of narrowness, fearless of risk. Hé built up and tore not down, he discovered and hid not away, he prospered and filched from no other’s store, the structure of his weaith he reared/ on the wrecks of no man's fortunes, He opened paths by which Individuals_and communitles entered in unto abundance. What came to his own hand he held, as the wiscly rich will ever do, rather as sieward than as eternal possessor. To the cry of need his ear was not stopped; to the vision of a public meaning for life’ and a pubiic responsibility for_weaith his eye was not closed. The peculiar form of the memorial which is here to be erected to him is due to the choice of his wife, confirmed by the approval of his son. It will be appropriate and it wiil be worthy. It assumes first of all the form of a bounteous gift to the State—to the State within whose borders the keenest activities of Mr, Hearst's life were exercised, to the State under whose shelter his fortune was assembled and solidified, to the State which honored him with a most dignified office and confided to his keeping most important trusts. It assumes in the second place the form of a contribution to the service of thaf technical profession of which he was one of the earliest and one of the most skillful practitioners. Its mission will be to raise and liberalize that profession by freeing it ever more and mdre from slavery to the rule of thumb and the wastes of ama- teurism, and placing it ewer more and more under the rule of intelligence and within the sovercignty of reason. It assumes in the third place the form of a largess to the public school system of the State, a system which offers to the children of thé State from every level of condition and estate the free oppor- tunity to shake themselves loose irom tae bonds of tradition, class and birth, and rise to the place their industry and native worth may rightly claim for them even 'unto leader- ship among the sons of men.

The building which is to rise here will ‘be dedicated to the use of the college of mining. It is to be built of the strongest and cleanest stone produced out of the California hills. When completed it will be not only the largest but the most completely equipped building de- voted exclusively to the study of mining en- gineering in the world. The plan of the build- ing has been devised after long and patient study by the supervising architect of the uni- versity, John Galen Howard, who has worked\ in constant conference with Dr. Samuel Bene. dict Christy, the dean of the coilege of mining, Between them these two men have visited pearly every mining and technical school of rank in the old world and the new. ‘The = exterior treatment,”” to quote Mr. Howard's own words, “'is of an extremely sim- ple, dignified character, based upon the classic tradition, but strongly influenced by the naive and charming work of the Spanish fathers in this land, and like that work depending largely for its effect-upon the careful proportioning of 1ts volds and solids and upon its low roofs Of heavy terra cotta tile overhanging broad unornamented surfaces of wall.” The bullding will be adequate for all needs of the department for decades to come. It is 8o planned, however, that it can be in- definitely enlarged without gacrifice of sym- Toetry or beauty. Moreover, the greatest elas- ticity will mark the interior plan., The frame- work 1s of steel, the floors are wholly inde- pendent of the nterlor walls, and -flues for furnaces, hoods, heating and ventilation are provided in large number. The chief entrance, in the center of the south facade, opens into the memorial vestibule and museum, a lofty m, measuring forty by )elghty-eight feet, rising through =~ three stories and sur- rounded by balconies at the level of the sec- ond and third floors. Light will come from three arched windows, seventeen feet broad by twenty-eight feet high, on the southern slde, and from three circular domes, fifty feet above the floor. The room wiil be paved with marble and finished in buff pressed brick, The. administrative department, with public and private offices for the dean.’ will open at the west of the memorial vestibule. On the east Will be a lecture room, and an office for the curator of the museum. At the north will Tise marble stairways, In double flights, lead- ing to right and left, The general mining laboratory will open on the central axis, opposite the main entrance. It will be virtually a great central court, forty-six by one hundred and eighteen feet, oren to the roof and lighted from above. - A traveling crane will provide for the moving of beavy mining machinery. Broad galleries at the height of the first and second stories will serve as idors and as vantage points for viewing mining operations. VALUABLE LABORATORIES. In the east wing there will be metallursi- cal laboratories for juniors and seniors, in the west wing research laboratorles, and in the central northern portion of the building a dry-crushing tower, three stories high. The tower will be flanked by two rooms, forty by sixty-two feet in size, one to be used as a smelting room for copper and lead, the other for @ gold and silver mill. On the second floor, opening from the gallery of the memorial vesti- bule, Will be two lecture rooms, one forty by forty-two feet, the other twenty-four by forty- two, and private study and drafting rooms for the dean. On the third floor will be a li- brary and stack room, and attic rooms for drafting, photographic work and other pur- poses, Adjolning each lecture room or labor- atory will be & private study for the instruct- ors, : In the basement there will be two large locker-rooms, each provided with shower baths; forge rooms, heating and ventilating apparatus, .[1can Consul; General R. H. Warfleld and | He was supposed to drive over the same TYNDALL DOES MARVELOUS FEAT Blindfolded He Makes Wild Drive in a Carriage. Goes to the Lick Houss and Picks Out Name on ! Register. Alexander J. MclIvor Tyndall, renowned the world over for his celebrated feats of mind-reading, successfully performed one of the hardest and most daring tests krowp to his peculiar psychic art yester- day. Tiage down Kearny street to California, down California to Montgomery and thence along that crowded thoroughfare to the Lick House, where he picked out a name on the hotel register selected by a responsible rcommittee about fifteen minutes before. To this feat Tyndall add- ed additional wonders. He told the date of the page in the register and spelled out or rather wrote out the name picked out by the committee. ¢ It was a wonderful feat of mind-reading and it was a wonderful drive that Tyn- dall gave the human freight inside the4 carriage, who went along to\see that there was no trickery. ‘William Greer Harrison, Newton J. Tharp, the architect; A. K. Coney, Mex- Clarence Leavy composed the committee selected by S. H. Friedlander, manager of Fischer's Theater, under whose aus- pices Tyndall performed the feat. Promptly at noontime Tyndall and the members of the committee, none of whom were personally known to the mind-reader, arrived at the corner of Third and Mar- ket streets, from which spot the start was made. Tyndall was taken into a store and biindfolded by Consul Coney, and the Consul and Clarence Leavy were delegat- ed to remain with him to see that nobody communicated with him. Willlam Greer Harrison, Newton Tharp, General War- field, Theodore Bonnet, proprietor of the Town Talk; Eustace Cullinan and W. F. Britt got into a carrlage and started Gown Kearny street. Before starting several hotels were mentioned and finally the party agreed to drive to the Lick House and select a name from the regis- ter there. No one save those in the con- veyance knew the hotel that had been se- lected and as they were all interested in seeing whether or not Tyndall could fair- ly perform the feat there was no chance for collusion. The horses were driven along Kearny street and over the route already outlined by Newton J. Tharp, he having been chosen to drive by Greer Har- rison. At the hotel the register was tak- en thto a private room and only the com- mittee and the three newspaper men were allowed in the room. A MAD DRIVE. BSeveral names were suggested and then one of the newspaper men pointed out that of E. L. Ritson, written on Novem- ber 15. This was satisfactory and Har- rison guarded the register, while the rest of the party returned to the carriage and drove back to Third and Market streets to get Tyndall. Nobody left the carriage and a crowd of 2000 people saw Tyndall mount the driver’'s seat and start on his wild drive. He was securely blindfolded and trembled like a leaf when he took hold of the reins and put Architect Tharp's hand to his head to read his mind. route as the committee traversed, a rather dangerous undertaking for everybody in the carriage. Suddenly Tyndall received his Inspiration and he lashed the horses L e o i e e e e S ) a carpenter's shop, storercoms and Jjanitor's quarters, An analyss of the motives expressed in_the mining bullding is given by Mr. Howard in the October number of the University of Cal- ifornia. Magazine, in language whose exquisite- ness of touch is not likely to be outmatched even in his fine treatment of the materials native to his_art. “The aim has been to give expression to the character of a college of mining engineer- ing,” says Mr. Howard, ‘‘as distingujshed from one of art, letters or of natural scidhce. The expression’ of belles-lettres in_architecture de- mands a more purely classic character than that of scientific studies. Such a building as a library, for instance, may without incon- sistency rejoice in all the sumptuous glories of Roman architecture or the Henalssance; the tradition of the world leads one naturally | enough In this direction. But the architect conceives that such delicate and highly organ- ized motives find little place in a mining build- ing, which demands a treatment, while no less beautiful, much more primitives less elab- orately developed in the matter of detail, less influenced by the extreme classic. tradition either as a canon of proportion or as an arch- itectonic scheme. The profession of mining has to do with the very body and bone of the earth; its process Is a ruthless assault upon the bowels of the world, a contest with the crudest and most rudimentary forces. There is about it something essentiallv elementary, something primordial; and its expression in architecture must, to be true, have something of the rude, thé Cyclopean. The emotion roused must be a sense of power, rather than of grace. Even the scale of materials, the blocks of stone of which the walls are built, should be bolder and more strongly masculine than that of any other structure likely to find a place in a great university. “To produce a design for a mining bullding which shall in all sincerity express its pur- pose and at the same time shall harmonize with future buildings quite as sincere in the expression of their purposes—purposes in al- most every case of greater amenity—this has been the alm of the architect in appréaching his task in its artistic phase. If in its treat- ment he shall have secured a true outward and visible expression of the inward and spiritual organism of the buflding, and if at the same time he shall have succeeded in throwing over it a degres of charm which shall make it seem a kind, bluff brother amid 8 bevy of lovely sisters, he will feel that his efforts have not been wholly in vain.” This, then, s the memorlal we found to- day, better memorial and more lasting than the’pyramid that Cheops reared; better, be- cause it stands to help the life of men toward Detter things; most lasting, because it grafts itself upon the richest, warmest blood of the generations, and looks toward frultage in the life of all the days to come. And the measurs thereof 'no man can reckon. Here let it stand to tell of a virlle character that struggled with nature and rude beginnings and struggiing won, but blended in the message must lis reminder, though she wills it not, of a gentle woman whose thought went forth unceasingly toward others and others’ good. In a volce faint and trembling from emotions born of associdted memories Mrs. Hearst responded briefly as follows: This cornefstone is laid in honor of an earn- est student of mineralogy, & practical miner— 2 man who measured men by their truth, and methods by their honesty. _It is our sincere hope that the department work of the Hearst mining building will add to the world’s sclentific and practical knowl- edge and that students may be here inspired to realize the highest ideals of labor. LAYING THE STONE. Then President Wheeler presented Mrs. Hearst a beautiful silver trowel, the gift of Clara Reed Anthony, and with trembling hand she placed a bit of mortar upon the foundation stone and carefully, almost tenderly, spread it into place. Willilam R. Hearst, President Wheeler and Architect Howard followed her example with a brief touch of the trowel upon the stone. Then the great symbolic block of granite was lowered slowly into . place amid the resounding cheers of students and guests.

In front of the Chron- icle building a citizen narrowly escaped being crushed under the horses’ hoofs. Architect Tharp did not say a word to Tyndall. He kept his eyes straight ahead and whenever he saw a team or an elec- tric car in the way the thought was in- stantly transmitted to Tyndall. In fact Tyrdall claims that he saw every object that passed through Newton's mind and the manner in which he pulled up the horses and turned out of a car track or away from a passing vehicle at the right time seemed to indicate that he saw everything he claimed. At California street Tyndall swung around the corner in a reckless fashion, but Tharp thought of slowing up going down hill and Tyn- dall slowed up. In swinging into Mont- gomery street Tharp saw a clear track for two straight blocks and Tyndall whipped up the horses and sent them along at breakneck speed. Whenever Tharp grew cautious in his mind about coming to a corner, Tyndall slowed up, just as if he were driving with his eyes open. PICKS OUT NAME. Upon arrivifig in front of the Lick House, Tyndall swung the horses into the curb and holding on to Tharp, went di- rectly to the hotel register, and after fingering it fota time, found the page and pointed out the name. After doing this he wrote out the name on an envelope handed him by the clerk. Fully 500 peo- ple crowded into the hotel corridor to witness the crowning stunt of the test. After picking out the name, Tyndall went back to the carriage and drove back to the starting point. The feat opened the eyes of the com- mittee and the others who knew that Tyndall had given a truly marvelous test of mind reading. Upon arriving at Third and Market streets,Tyndall almost fell oft the séat and the crowd oheered lustily for him. He was taken inside a store and began to revive from the terrible strain he was under while performing the ‘wonderful test. Architect Tharp sald the moment a thought of danger from passing teams or cars entered his mind, Tyndall would pull up the horses and the moment a clear way showed along the thorough- fares traversed, he would let the horses have the whip and their heads. The drive was marvelous In itself, but those who rode inside the hack said they would not care to take another ride like it for many a day to come. —_— Tyndall’s Last Seance.
