AT HOME AGAIN.
The Native Sons Ensconced in the
Baldwin Hotel,

The general committee headquarters
of the Native Sons was moved at 10 80
O'Clock this morning from the Grand
hotel to the Baldwin. Chairman w. HI.
Chamberlain and Secretary r. G. Doo-
Ian themselves packed the great bronze
bear which has been a feature of the
rooms, and Assistant Secretary Blum
carried the little bear. The plain hands
of an ordinary eXpressman packed the
rest Of the paraphernalia, and by IL
O'Clock the committee was at home in
the Baldwin.
A. w. Furlong of Gilroy was the first
visitor at the new rooms. He said, $50
you've moved" 1t would have been
all right had he been the only one to
say that, but as each of the many Wis
itors who followed him said the same
thing it grew monotonous, and Secre-
tary Doolan, to anticipate the remark
froun future callers, hung out the sign,
eyes, we have moved" However, any
one could have seen that, for the pres
ent quarters are a welcome change
from the cramped situation at the
Grand.
Room "a is the private office of Chair
man Chamberlain and Il. G. Doolan.
Room 26 is for the assistant secretary,
stenOgrapher and the reporters. Rooms
% and 80 are for the subcommittee
and meeting-rooms. The parlor of the
hotel is the general reception room,
though the headquarters of the recep-
ton committee are in the hotel reading
room. The finance committees head
quarters, J. H. Hegler acting chairman,
are in room 80, and the Office of the
hotel accommodation committee is on
one side of the hotel lobby.
Decorations will begin at once. The
six corridors of the main quarters will
receive a dress of bunting, and the dec
Grafton which has ornamented the cor
this morning. will be placed this after
noon on the Baldwin Hotel, at the cor
ner of Powell and Market streets. A
banner will be stretched across Market
street, and loopings of evergreens and
bunting will be placed about the entire
building. The design of the Baldwin is
such as to make its decoration effective
from an artistic point of view. Alto
gether the greatest satisfaction prevails
at the new move.
Thorn, the manager of the Grand,
has persistently refused to be seen or
talked to about his interview with
Acting Chairman Hegler of the
finance committee, but he has allowed
his friends to say that cit looks like
bIackmall." The committee is natu
rally indignant and says that it does
look like blackmail, but not on the COM
mittees part. Thorn says the rent of
the rooms at the Grand was equal to
$3.50. In this he told an untruth, accord
ing to the committee, but be this as it
may, he offered the rooms to the COM
mittee when it took them for 500 a
Nuh Jnh hu
Fay of the Grand Hotel bar, and was
paid in advance, too. So Thorn was
trying to charge the committe $3.50
month more than he had agreed to let
it have the rooms for.
The finance committee this morning
had refreshing letter from the Lon
don, Paris and American bank. The
banks letter was entirely unsolicited
which made it's reception, with that of
the enclosure, particularly welcome.
The letter is as follows:
