The pittsburgh Exposltion.

PITTSBURGH, IA, sept. 81, 1913.
Special to the IntellIScucer.
The Second Annual Exposition under
the new management commenced to-day
amid the greatest enthusiasm. Thousands
Of the most prominent merchants, business
men and manufacturers were present. AT
/ o'clock p. NJ. the gates Of the yard were
opened and the dense throng passed into
the vacant area Immediately in front OF the
building. At2l o'clock the exercises were
opened with music by the 18th Regiment
Band. Rev. J. Gillespie led in prayer, fol-
lowed by speeches from Messrs. Moore
head, Hays and Marshall. The doors of
the building were then thrown open to the
public. All the space is taken, but not
more than one-half OF the exhibits are per-
fected. The Floral Department is the only
department entirely ready for inspection.
1t is really grand and worth seeing, a fall
ing cataract adds largely to its beauty.
Fully weeks work will be required
to get all in proper shape. The
interior OF the building is tastefully deco.
rated with flags and paintings. The
grounds surrounding the building are Gle
gantly laid out with beds OF blooming
flowers. There are nearly twice MS many
exhibitors as last year. Many fine and
costly articles arc on exhibition, The fair
closes in four weeks.

New York Custom House Investigation

New York Custom House Investigation.
NEw YoRK, September 3.-The Custom
House Investigation Committee met to-
day. Jackson 5. Schulz was the tirst
witness. He said the consular system and
bond system should be looked into and be-
lieved that many OF the bureaus and de-
partments OF the Custom House should be
consolidated. He asked that day be set
apart to hear the Chamber OF Commerce
OF New York and the Boston Board OF
Trade on these questions and Wednesday
week was decided upon rs the day.
Collector Merritt, Naval Officer before he
became Collector, related the process after
the arrival OF ship; how duties are as
certained, goods handled md revenue col
lected. The Collector being asked If there
was any reason why one class OF officials,
we'll paid, could not do all this business
quite correctly, and il the Naval officers
corps was not entirely supernumerary, he
answered: II you could appoint otiicials
who would always be correct and honest,
one class would be sufficient perhaps. 1t
has been estimated that by the correction
OF errors more than the expense OF the
Naval Officer is saved TO the government.
Collector Merritt being i'll, here left the
stand, saying he had been making an ex-
animation with view to reducing the
clerical force, and he would be glad to CO.
operate with the committee on any plan
for reducing the expenses OF the service
and for simplifying 1t. There were two or
three matters which had suggested them.
selves to him rs aiTording desirable ground
for investigation, and he would put his
suggestions in writing and submit them to
the committee.
Charles Freichcl, Auditor, said he was
now preparing a written statement for the
Collector regarding the possible reform in
his department, and would submit 1t to
the committee.
Adjourned until tomorrow.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Every thing was fa-
vorable for the reception OF the President
and for the fireman 'sparade this morning,
the weather was pleasant and the streets
in fine condition, and every public build
ing was gay with bunting. Atan early hour
the principal streets were thronged with
expectant thousands, while every incom-
ing train, street car and private convey
ance contributed additional crowds in
holiday dress, anxious to witness the
parade, and to carch glimpse OF President
Hayes. Towards noon the crowd along
the line Of the procession became
almost painful. The train in which
the Presidential party came was met
at Kingston, Just outside the city
limits by delegation OF eminent
business men, and reached here at s
o'clock. The reception accorded the party
was brilliant. A salute from the battery
al the exposition greeted the arrival Of the
train, and the immense concourse OF citi-
zens cheered Justify, throwing their hats
In the air,and enthusiastically calling for
the President. The party took carriages
from the depot for the Grand Pacific Hotel,
but so crowded were the streets that
the distance OF half dozen blocks was not
accomplished for nearly IN hour. The
Presidential party proper Is composed
OF the President and Mrs. Hayes,
Attorney General Deyins, and Birch
ard, Webb G. and Rudd Hayes,
Arriving on the same train was the party
OF commissioners Of agriculture. II in
cludes Pay Director Hooker, Of the Navy;
Hon. T. @. Jones, OF Ohio; Gen. Yancy,
Senator Butler, OF South Carolina; Gen.
Lomas and wife, OF Virginia, and others.
The influx OF firemen and outside fire com
panies, by the mornings train, was very
large.
About 150 visiting organizations partici-
pated in tho parade, which began at noon.
The procession was nearly five miles long.
The military regiment Of Chicago headed
the procession, followed by the President
and party; then came the fire companies.
with numerous devices on their engines.
The hook and ladder, fire patrol and re-
serve companies were all in full uniform.
A continuous shout greeted the procession,
where the carriage containing
the President, standing with uncovered
head, passed along. The reception COM
mittee will give the President q drive in
the parks this afternoon, and tonight re-
ception will be held at the Grand Pacific
Hotel, at which several hundred veterans
will be present a

SAN FRANCISCO, September 3. The
Farmers and Mechanics Bank OF Savings
closed its doors this morning and goes into
liquidation. The amount due depositors
is about $4,000. Assets, including $G0,-
600 paid up capital, probably sufficient to
pay the depositors and perhaps leave a
small margin for stockholders. The bank
has been doing q mixed commercial and
saving business and the suspension is
mainly attributed to bad loans on COM
