Another of Its New Bulldings { Ready for Occupancy. The big main “Central” KExchange building which the telephone company | is erecting on Bush street, opposite the California Hotel, is rapidly approaching completion. This structure, consisting | of eight stories and a basement, occu- pies a lot that has a frontage of forty feet and a depth of 120 feet, and is fire- proof from foundation to roof. Every one of the eight stories of the big structure will be devoted to the business of the telephone company. On the first floor will be a public conversa- tion room of ample dimensions; the offi- ces of the manager, a test board, the rooms of the wire chief and his assist- ants. | The second loor is to be set apart solely for the use of the operators. Here | will be a retiring room, a resting room, {a reading room and a hospital, all equipped jn a way calculated to con- vince the employes that the company tukes an interest in their welfare. All of the third floor will be taken up by the long distance operating room. ¥From this room connection can be made at short notice with any of the hun- dreds of Pacific Coast towns and cities in which the company has offices. Com- munication can be established with towns as far north as British Columbia, and as far south as San Diego. On the fourth floor will be the schoot operating room, hitted up with apparat- us costing over $10,000. Here new op- erators will be taught how to manipu- late the switchboards, and no employe will be permitted to work in any of the regular operating rooms until she has graduated from this school. One of the operating rooms of the local service takes up the whole of the fifth floor. On the sixth floor will be the kitchen and lunch room. Here lunch will be served to the operators at the expense of the telephone company. Another operating room occupies the entire seventh floor, and there is still another one, equally as large, on the | eighth floor. These two operating rooms and also those on the other floors given over to the operating department will contain the latest equipment, including the new multiple switchboard.

He says Miss the Schuberts’ booking, and that she has a wider field with the other concern. According to Russell, he, in connection with Florenz Ziezfeld, husband of Anna Held, signed up with Miss Nielsen to give operatic concerts. Russell sald he was in England at the time and came to this couniry at considerable expense. He adds Ziegfeld changed his mind and when he arrived here found that an In- ferior orchestra had been engaged for Miss Nielsen and no arrangements made for her debut in New York for the sea- son Russell savs that other performances were arranged for and that bad manage- rient and bad handling by the booke: were encountered all the time. He says | Miss Nielsen scored a big success, de- spite all her troubles, and when she ar- rived in San Francisco everything was in readiness for her and she has far ex- | ceeded expectations here. Accoxding to Russell Miss Nielsen never had a contract with the Schuberts. She | simply went under their wing get | clear of Ziegfeld. Russell says that Miss | Nielsen intended to go back to the syn- | dicate as soon as she entered comic opera | again. According to these plans Miss Nielsen | will be hereafter booked under the man- | agement of Klaw & Erlanger. the theat- | rical trust.? Russell received a wire from them yesterday and the deal is completed. NEW YORK.

But the strollers were and far between, besides being of the stout-hearted class, for the waves, instead of being sad, as usual, were angry and boisterous and seemed ‘to bespeak their wrath by the foam which they tossed on the shore. The entire beach from the Cliff House hundreds of yards down was washed all day by the breakers that rolled in with a threatening roar. The crowds, instead of taking to the welcome beach, were forced to line up against the wire fence on the great highway and watch the white-capped billows as they tossed rest- lessly against rock and shore. All day long the roadside was lined with a vast muititude watching the rough seas. Although the weather was extremely cold the cars were crowded from an early hour till late in the afternoon by pleasure- seekers going beachward. Carriages, bug- gies and automobiles flew by at frequent intervals, and the highway from the CHff House to the Ingleside road presented a gav spectacle, as well as an extremely lively one. The park was also the sceme-of much life and activity, thousands visiting the museum, tennis courts, conservatory and other places of interest. A vast multitude assembled in front of the band stand and { listened with interest to the concert. No accidents of any serious import were reported to the police station or the hos pital.
