CORNER STONE OF HOSPITAL IS LAID Lieutenant Governor-Elect Wal lace Consecrates Columbia Institution Before Crowd OSTEOPATHS' HEAD SPEAKS Association* President Tells Pur poses of First Building of Its Kind in U. S. Albert J. Wallace, lieutenant gover nor-elect. In the presence of a, crowd, laid the corner stone of Columbia hos pital, at Orange and Wltmet streets, yenterday afternoon. Copies of the dally papers of Los Angeles, a program of the afternoon's exercises, another of the banquet given at the Angelus hotel last night in celebration of the event by stockholders In the hospital associa tion, a list of tho stockholders, names of state officers and members of the legislature, a list of the faculty of the University of Southern California, and many cards and names handed to the chairman, wtra placed beneath tho stone. "This corner stone is laid for tho glory of God and the good of human ity," were the words with which Mr. Wallace consecrated the building. He ■aid: "I wish to express my happiness at being here among you at the establish ment of another hospital. I am always glad to Bee such buildings erected. When I was traveling abroad I went to Pompeii. AH through the land I looked, for public schools, for homes for home less children, for buildings such tea this erected for the sake of helping suffering humanity—but I found no such places. "It has been my observation that these features of helpfulness follow only In the footsteps of Christianity. With every hospital erected in our land we are Just that much farther along in our path of progression. It is a great pleasure to me to dedicate this one." With a smile the lieutenant governor elect ended his address by saying: "I have so worn out my voice during the last few months that at this mo ment I can talk no longer." OSTKOI'ATHS' IIE.W 81'KAKS ■ C. P. Drum, president of tho General Osteopathic association, which is back of the institution, is responsible fur this new style of hospital. "In St. Louis," said Dr. Drum, "there Is a small Osteopathic hospital, which admits no other practitioners, but this is the first one In the United States where all medicinal and surgical prac titioners are Included. We chose the name 'Columbia" because several other hospitals In different parts of the coun try by that name have been eminently successful—we want It for a mascot." The afternoon program was closed by an exhibition of running concrete. Dr. G. F. Bovard of U. S. C, the Rev. Charles LaFontalne ajid tha Rev. Matt S. Hughes of Pasadena were among the other speakers of the afternoon. Several songs were sung by a male quartet. The building Is to be absolutely fire proof and great attention will be given to the beauty and cheerfulness of Its surroundings, as well as to the prac tical phases. The cost when finished will bo $115,000, the equipment $40,000, and the grounds, which will be ter raoed and provided with attractive automobile drives, at least $65,000. Glassed-in porches, fitted exclu sively with an eye to making conva lescents feel at home and cozy, will finish two sides of tho building, and the avowed Intention of the manage ment is to supply a dining room ser vice which will be free from the usual earmarks of a hospital. A roof garden commanding a view from the moun tains to the seashore, furnished with flowers and ferns, will surmount the entire building. As a fitting close to the day the offi cers and directors of the Institution held a banquet last night at the An gel us hotel, about 120 stockholders and friends of the new Institution having been present. Strictly informal in na ture, the banquet served to bring those who have made the new hospital possible into closer touch with one another and to allow the leading spirits- of the enterprise to outline to a certain extent its future work. John S. McGroarty acted as toast master. He was Introduced by Dr. C. P. Drum, president of the Hospital association, and after a few prelimi nary remarks Introduced .Dr. William J. Hayden, who spoke on "Hospitals as an Investment." He waa followed by Frank G. Tyrrell, responding to "The Columbia Hospital." Others who spoke and their themes follow: Dr. C B. Dickson, "The Surgeon and the Hospital;" Prof. P. B. Owen, "The Hospital and the Public;" Prof. C. A. Whiting "The Hospital as a School for tha Sick;" Dr. Mary J. Green, "Hospital Treatment for the Sick vs. Home Treatment for the Sick," and Dr. F. M. Collier, "Tha Hospital and the Specialist."

SHELLS SHOOT AHEAD IN RACE WITH ARMORPLATE Projectiles Are Improved, but Ex pert Says Defensive Methods Are Not Keeping Step WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The shot appears to bo getting the better of the armor in the never-ending contest for supremacy between the two, according to Rear Admiral N. E. Mason, chief of the naval ordnance bureau. In his annual report Admiral Mason nays that the conditions and outlook with regard to armor-piercing projectiles, formerly unsatisfactory, have improved very much during the year. The quality of the shells supplied by certain firms Is better, though the lack of an adequate supply of large caliber shells continues to be a matter of seri ous concern. On the other hand, the advance in armor has not been entirely satisfactory so far as thick plates are concerned, and certain new processes have failed to lend themselves to the installation of the armor on shipboard. The older processes are being left be hind by the improvement in projectiles. But thin plates have shown marked Improvement and the hardening meth ods formerly limited to two-inch plates have gradually been extended to plates up to four inches.

LAUNCH BIG SHIP AT LGNG BEACH First Steel Steamer Ever Built in Southern California Plunges Into Western Water (Continued from l'aite One) waters and Astoria. Capt. l.udlow, now on tho schooner Yellowstone, will be in command. ' The Craig Shipbuilding company lo cated In Long Beach three years ago, after having disposed of its former holdings in Toledo. 0., where the com pany built a number of big vessels, many of which are now in the Pacific coastwise traffic. Long Beach citi zens subscribed $100,000 at a maps meeting in the auditorium and bought the tract of about thirty-five acres now occupied by the ship plant. The site was donated as an inducement to lo cite the industry here. Since that time from 200 to 360 men have been employed at the plant almost continu ously. The company first built a bier steel hull for the dredger now working in the local harbor, and later built a $75,000 seagoing tug, the Virgil Bogue, for the Western Pacific Railroad com pany's use at San Francisco. The firm had the lowest bid on the con struction of a tug for the port of Portland, Ore., but the commission favored local contractors. The General Hubbard was about half built when the metal workers' strike temporarily crippled the plant, riveters and molders walking out. Mr. Craig remained firm in his stand for an open shop and gradually rehabili tated his force of men. There are more than 200 men now employed in the yards, it is said. Several hundred people were ad mitted into the yard this morning, having received personal invitations. The rest of the spectators were lined along the opposite shore, on the muni cipal docks and at other points of vantage.
