MEYER LIKES AMERIC German Scholar, a Famous Historian, Finds His First | Impressions Are Wrong R Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, April 1. Dr. Eduard Meyer, the great German historian, is rather more pleased with | America and Americans since he has seen them close at hand than he was when he got his impressions from read- ing about them in books and newspa- | pers in his own native land. Ameri- cans are not the worshipers at the shrine of -the almighty dollar that he had always fancied and there is a real | intellectual and spiritual breath in the | atmosphere of their country. All this and a great deal more he said this morning from the platform in Harmon | eymnasium while addressing a thou- sand students of the University of Cali- fornia. Here are some of the things Dr. Meyer said: In my visit to this country I was most im- | pressed by the energy of the men who consti- tute its citizenship. I had not the time to consider everything, but my attention was at- tracted to this one thing. It is but Aty years since the Argonauts came to the Pacific Coast and less than forty years since the first 1 railroad was built here, yet there is here a great civilization. This entire movement was a great conquest for civilization. When I went to Chcago 1 saw a great eity erected on what was once a waste of country, and as I crossed the cootinent I passed in- numerable cities springing out of this vast area. If I could come in forty years from now I am sure I would not recognize the same territ Where there are now forests and deserts there will be great cities, giving a Ivelihood to millions. It is the general impression In Europe that in the United. States the dollar reigns su- preme; that the materialistic atmosphere is predominant. 1 do not now hold -that view and can refute the impression when I return home. You are not strangers to idealism. You have perfect gentlemen in every American city and your idealism is sound and solid. It makes life worth living here, The other speakers were the Rey. J. K. McLean, president of the Pacific Theological Seminary, and James D. Phelan, former Mayor of San Fran- cisco. Dr. McLean addressed himself to the advocacy of & Christian life and j Mr. Phelan to the student in politics. ——— EASTERN FLOODS RISE AND RUIN INCREASES Dubious Reports Are Received From Indiana, Ohio and Points Farther West. INDIANAPOLIS, April 1.—The flo . conditions throughout Southern Indi- ana and Southeastern Illinpis are still serfous. Heavy rains last night added to the danger. At Portland, where a week ago three lives were lost and heavy damage done, only three or four business houses are above ter. At Peru also the situation is serious. ST. MARYS, Ohio, April 1.—At 11:30 to-night the banks of the Grand reser- voir are still intact, but the situation continues threatening.

Since the founding of the First Con- gregational Church in Alameda twen- ty-five years ago the congregation has | increased until it has assumed such proportions as to necessitate, the build- ing of a new edifice. There will be no delay in building the new church. The contributions are generous and it is almost certain that when it is ready there will be no | debt. The plans contemplate build- ings that will almost cover the entire with a large addition for Sunday school and social purposes. The.type of architecture selected is modified Gothic, from designs of D. Franklin Oliver, architect of the new Oakland theater and other large bufldings in this city and. elsewhere. The lower walls will be constructed of real Ari- zona sandstone, with upper portions and roof covered with cedar shingles. A tower, twenty feet square, affords the principal entrance to the audito- rium, which is to be 50x65 feet. It will seat 500 persons on the ground floor. In the foyer and gallery 400 more sittings are provided. The tow- | er is approached by stone steps and will contain the pastor’s library in the second story. The ceiling and the au- ditorium will be vaulted. The pews, platform and other wood furnishings will be of oak or mahogany. Light will be afforded by triple windows of cathedral glass, and the general col- ors will be white, with ceilings which are to be covered with fresco. The auditorium is without angles, circular in every point; superior in this re- spect to every church in the State, as a perfect system of acoustics is thus assured. In the rear, besides the pul- pit, there is to be the elevated choir and an organ loft 14x20 feet. No church has.provided with greater generosity for the numerous adjuncts of its work. The Sunday-school room is @ model. It is to b in the form of a half .circle and especially well lighted. Around the circumference there will be arranged roller partitions, which, when drawn down, will afford fifteen sepa- rated classrooms, besides a large cen- tral space which has seating capacity for 300 scholars. In the basement below the large assembly hall, seating 400 | persons, Is situated. This will be ar- ranged for banquets, socials and special parish meetings and has, besides, a permanent stage twelve by eighteen feet with dressing-rooms at the sides. Kitchens, pantries, cloakrooms, ete., are all planned for. A dumb waiter will act between the upper and lower floors. In addition every appurtenance of the modern church required by later con- ditfons of religious activities have been planned for on a most perfect and com- plete scale. Lighting, ventiltion, heat- other necessary conveniences have been the subject of anxious forethought. The new church will be a model in all these respects. | A special feature of the new church and a direct innovation in ecclesiasti- cal structures is the open court situated bétween the church and Sunday-school room, in the center of the whole build- ing. This will have a floor of concrete and be filled with palms and rare tropical plants. Entrance to the ladies’ parlor will be through the court. The cost of the church will approxi- mate $35,000. 3 Rev. L.

The labyrinth of mystery that sur- rounds the disappearance of little Evelyn Loscum, the = two-year-old child whose mother gave her away to a strange woman, was not straight- ened out by the persistent inquiry that was made to-day into the case’ Compiications turn up with every new link to the story and it is no nearer solution than it was yesterday. The mother of the child is a tailoress, who works in Oakland. She has as- sumed her maiden name, Lillie Groth, though she uses it with the prefix of Mrs. instead of Miss. This is the out- come of an unfortunate marriage with Edouard Loscum, now a Nome miner. Mrs. Loscum’s mother, Mrs. R.' B. Mitchell, told two different stories about this unhappy affair to-day. One is that her daughter married Loscum when she was under age and the other that she discovered that Looscum al- ready had a wife when he married Miss Groth, who is 20 yedrs old. At any rate, an annulment of the mar- riage was secured. Mrs, Mitchell’s story about the child is that her daughter came to visit her last Tuesday in company with a strange woman. The mother and strange woman took the child with them for what was presumed a short walk. In a little while the mother re- turned to the Mitchell home at 1620 Idaho street, Golden Gate, but alone. Upon being asked for the child, the mother said she had given it to the strange woman. She confessed, too, that she had not taken her address or name. SEARCHES FOR STRANGER. Mrs. Loscum-Groth was rather dis- inclined to tell her mother all. Her feelings were so wrought up,rhowever, that she was brought to tears and a realization of the - enormity of her thoughtlessness. She was so affected that she came to Berkeley to inquire of some people named Cheney for the name of the strange woman. It seems that the stranger had given a Mrs. Mary Cheney of Berkeley as one of her reférences. Nothing came of this quest, how- ever, and the mother and grandmother have made no real attempt to find the child. address given by her mother in Oak- land to-day. In fact her mother was not very sure as to the whereabouts of her daughter. She gave several ad- dresses to ‘the inquirers, the most like- ly one being a room in the Playter Block in Oakland, but. all attempts to find the woman failed. She probably has disappeared since last night, for yesterday she was working.at 2117 Ade- line street, Oakland. One of the strange features of the case is that the child; Evelyn, had been with her grandmother several months before the grandparent knew that she was her grandchild. Mrs. Mitchell had advertised to take care of & child and her own daughter had answered the advertisement. In the transaction that accornpanied the ex- change of the child the mother and daughter were unknown to each other. house this afterncon and could no explanation of her daughter's duct, INCOHERENT STORY. con- As a matter of fact, Mrs. Mitchell. does not tell a very coherent story.| said.

She had been chargéd by E. Derosa with having taken;a locket which he highly prized, and_upen her refusal to give it up he ‘| went to the police station and swore | out a:search warrant. When Policemen Sill and Murray, with the warrant, ar- rived at- Mrs. Turnbull's residence thex found the door locked. Mrs. Turnbull wanted to know the mission of ‘the men, and they explained . it to her. She told them that they would have to wait until.she dressed, and while they wait- ed the woman went out of the back window and away. When the room was finally entered Mrs. Turnbull was missing. Mrs. Turnbull occupied room No. 20 in the hotel. Her window opened upon an areaway twenty-five feet below, Down the side ‘of the house there runs a pipe, and stepping out onto the window sill she was able to reach the pipe and slide to freedom. The locket was found hidden in the top of an oil'stove after the policemen, with the assistance of the hotel land- lord, got into the hastily vacated apart- ment. e ——— EXPLORING EXPEDITION ON ITS RETURN HOME British Steamer Discovery and Relief Vessels Arrive at New Zealand From Antarctic. LYTTLETON, New Zealand, April 1. —The British Antartic steamer Dis- covery and the relief steamers Morning and Terranova arrived here to-day. The ‘relief ships, which left Hobart December 5, reached the Discovery February 14 and found all the members of the expedition in excellent health and spirits. Scientific work was con- tinued by the explorers throughout the winter of 1903. They established the fact that the interior of Victorialand continues at a height of 9000 feet and is evidently a vast continental plateau. A new route west was found, and a depot was established 2000 feet up the glacier. Captain R. F. Scott, R. N., of the Discovery says the winter of 1903 passed pleasantly and that the members *of the expedition enjoyed much greater comfort than in 1902, Sledging opera- ticns began in September, under sevare conditions, owing to extremely low temperature, which frequently fell to 60 degrees below zero. In November one party reached a point 160 geo- graphical . miles southeast of the ship. There was no trace of land and evi- dence was obtained showing that this was a vast floating ice plain. Captain Scott, with another party, made two excursions westward in Oc- tober over a glacier. They gained the summit October 11 and crossed the magnetic meridian October 20 in longi- tude 155 east. Proceeding still west- ward the party reached a point 270 niles from the ship, in latitude 73 south, longitude 146% east. The in- terior of South Victeria is evidently a vast continental plateau. The glacier valley affords magnificent scenery and gives a natuyal geological section of the mountains. “In the middie of December the party attempted to cut a canal through the |- ice, which was frozefi from seyen to eight feet thick, but the effort was futile, owing to constant refreezing and the party desisted. The open water was then seventeen miles. from the ship.” ———— BIG BUSINESS BLOCK IN MONTREAL BURNED Fire Threatens the Board of Trade Building, but Firemen Confine It % to Small Arca.

BELGRADE, Servia, April 1. — The regicides question is considered here to have been finally settled, all those im- mediately concerned having been re- moved from the King’'s entourage. A degree removed the last two, namely, the notorious Colonel Popovitch, the King's first aide de camp, who has been appointed commandant of the garrison at Belgrade, and Colonel Solarovics, who becomes director of the military academy. The return of the foreign diplomatic representatives is expected shortly. The Government is informed that M.
