TRIBUTE PAID TO GENIUS Exposition Crowds Say Farewell to liberty Bell and President Moore N. " ( Proposes Toast to Animate Spirit It Typifies. ' BT AVNE BHANNON MONROE. OB.EOON EXPOSITION BUUJDING. Ban Francisco. Nov. 11. Tuesday waa Joaquin Miller day and also the last day of the Liberty Bell's stay, with special ceremonies marking its fare well. The Joaquin Miller ceremonies -were held in Festival hall, where a. large crowd gathered. Commissioner Logan . represented Oregon on the programme, as Oregon is one of the three states that claim the poet of the Sierras. In diana having given him birth, -Oregon his early Western experiences and Cal ifornia his later days of poetic tri umph. The Mayor of Oakland an nounced that the poefs home, "The Heighte." would be bought by the city and kept in commemoration of him who sang the song of the sun-lands and the Sierras. Mrs. Miller, widow of the poet, gave two of his poems, and there were readings by Edward Wharton James and bits of biography by other lifelong friends. Miss Juanita Miller, the poet's daughter, led the einging of songs for which he had sup plied words, as well as a beautiful de scriptive dance which closed with the placing of garlands of flowers over the bust of the poet which occupied the central position on the platform. OreEon'a Claim to Poet Asserted. Tndiana and California speakers re viewed the life of the poet as it touched their own states, but I really think Commissioner Logan made out the best case for Oregon's claim. He reviewed the history of Joaquin Mil ler from the time he came west over the Oregon trail, the first trail blazed westward toward the setting sun. in 1850. when California was still Mexican territory. Mr. Logan said, among other things: "Joaquin Miller lived among our tall pines near where rolls the Oregon and here the genesis of genius was writ ten into his life. He ran away from his home in Indiana at the age, and kept running all his life; and so he got to Oregon, and then to Eastern Ore gon, where he became a pony express driver, later he studied law. then be came an editor. During the Civil War nil paper was suppressed for advocat ing peace. He came to Portland and wrote there his first book, 'Specimens'; ho next wrote 'Joaquin and Others,' and in derision was called Joaquin; the name stuck. He then went to San Francisco, but even this city did not recognize his greatness at once; it remained for England to put the laurel wreath on our poet of the Pacific, be fore we who loved him also sensed his greatness. Ha returned to Portland in 1905 where Harvev Scott receiver! him royally, and here he received as wen tne homage of all the state, due the boy who was forever running away and had once more run away to Oregon. Oregon joins California in honoring one of the great geniuses of the Western coast, who will be honored as one of the great geniuses of the world." Thousands Bid Bell Farewell. All the time outside the liberty bell, sitting enthroned before the Tower of Jewels, was being passed in review by mousanus who had come for a last look. There were speeches and good wishes, and there were waving hand kerchiefs and wet eyes; and ther were garlands of roses and bursting arrasful of chrysanthemums; every state and nation had sent a floral tribute, till the old bell nested in flowers and showered and draped in them. As we came out of Festival Hall a little after B the new moon, clear-cut and strong in its young purity, hung above the Liberty Bell In a ski without a cloud. A good mone. some way. The crowds, still standing before the beloved relic, the men wth bared heads, the women silent and awed, seemed taking part in some old sacrificial rite. It was a holy time. At the exposition luncheon honoring the Philadelphia escort which has ar rived to convey the bell to its home, President Moore, who thinks of so many splendid things, proposed that all drink a toast to the Liberty Bell instead of to the Mayor, the Governor of Penn sylvania or our President. Lieutenant-Commander Woodward, who is the censor of all social and military nice ties, on being consulted as to its pro priety, emurred; it had never been done before, he said; toasts were not drunk to Inanimate objects. Whereupon Pres ident Moore instantly arose and pro posed the toast "to the Liberty Bell, not an inanimate thing of bronze, but animate with the love, loyalty and pa triotism of the whole people of the United States." The response left no doubt as to its fitness. Sorrow Seen In Contrast. On Wednesday at 10 a large crowd Kathere-d the full length of the parade route in the grounds for a last sight of the bell and to view the parade. It was a magnificent outpouring of stron handsome, uniformed men, of glistening bayonets, of shining brass. The bands played stirring martial airs and every one hummed or kept step and said now well the men marched; the army, the navy, the artillery, even the mules and the supply wagons seemed alive and alert. As I came back to the inn I passed a woman seated in a small recess of the verandah crying bitterly;, I stopped and then moved on. I had met her at breakfast a Canadian woman who had had to come away from Canada to try to forget. She had told me that every mother in her part of Canada had lost at least one boy in the war and some of them six. "1 don't know how many she had lost she couldn't talk any more about it. I Just left her crying it seems all a woman can do but some way the spring went out of my step and dragged my feet heavily on my way to write aoout the gorgeous military pa rade of handsome men. m "w TOMORROW TOMORROW ooct- ark" Doll Day, Monday, November 15 Starting at O A.

II HI POPE URGED TO FLEE Rome Hears of Scheme Central Empires. of CRUISER ONCE WAITING British, Belgian and Russian Minis ters Turn Scale With Assurances That Italy Will Give Com plete Guarantees. ROME. Nov. 13. (Special.) Particu lars are now available of a plan said to have been made by the Austrian Ambassador accredited to the Holy See, Prince Schonberg Hartenstein, last May, to induce the Pope to leave Home. It Is known when the Italian gov ernment denounced the triple alliance, the Kaiser and the Emperor of Austria confidentially informed Alfonso of Spain, that war between Italy and Aus tria was inevitable ana tnat as tne Pope might be in danger in Rome when war waa declared and the law of guarantees suspended, they sug gested Spain, as the only Catholic neu tral European power, should offer hos' pitallty to the Pontiff. Allies Obtalm Assurance. The suggestion was immediately acted upon, but news of this became known, and British. Belgian and Rus sian Ministers accredited to the Holy See hastened to assure the Pope that the Italian government absolutely guaranteed full independence to his spiritual ministry and personal safety. The Italian government would not even demand the departure of the diplo matic rei resentatives of Austria, Prus sia and Bavaria accredited to the Holy See, nor exercise any censorship over any official correspondence, the Pon- tur was assured. The Pope was so reassured that, be sides agreeing to special modus Vivendi with Italy and insisting himself that the Ministers of Prussia, Bavaria and Austria should leave Rome when war was declared, he declined without the slightest hesitation Spain's offer- of hospitality. . EUeventh-Hour Effort Made. This happened about the beginning of May. The departure of the Pope from Roma would have created an un favorable impression against Italy throughout tha Catholio world, and possibly would have caused aerious dissensions in Italy. The Austrian Am bassador did not reconcile himself to the failure of getting the Pope out of Roma, and. with the aid of Monsignor Csiszarlk, ecclesiastical consultor of the Austrian embassy, and members of the Pope's entourage, who openly sympa thized with the central empires, be decided on an eleventh-hour effort. He hired automobiles to carry the Pops , aoa xus jussage, togetuer Vila, ail val uables, from Rome to Gaeta, the route by which it was proposed to carry the Pope. A Spanish vessel was also char tered and waa to be escorted by the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII. When plans were completed the Am bassador Informed the Pope, who lis tened in silence and then calmly said: "Mr. Ambassador, please inform your government that the Pope has decided to remain in Rome."
