mittee-Notes.

Last Friday evening, at meeting Of the
General Committee of the Native Sons Of
the Golden West, Chairman Chamberlain
asked on behalf Of the officers of the COM
mittee to be empowered to change their
headquarters from the Grand Hotel, stating
that this move if made would only be in
order to sustain the pride and standing OF
the Native Sons. The officers were there
upon empowered to make the change when
ever they saw fit
No reasons for the request were given
the committee, who demanded none Ru-
mors had already received credit that if the
move was made it would be en- account of
the stand the hotels had taken on the
question of subscriptions.
Yesterday afternoon the matter was sub
mitted to the Executive Committee of the
Finance Committee. John 81. Hegler, cat
ing Chairman, presiding.
After assembling about him about
dozen members of his committee and the
officers of the General Committee he en-
tered into detailed account of the visits
made by his committee TO the various hotels
and of their reception at and progress with
each one.
GRAVE, VERY GRAVE.
When he came to the names of the Palace
and Grand he waxed wroth. He claimed
that the Executive Committee, the Finance
Committee, and through them, the order of
Matt We Sons, had been insulted by Manager
Thorn, ana he demanded.that since Mana
ger Thorn had said the NATIVE Sons were
impediments to his business, and were beg
gars, the General Committee should hear
their grievance and let Mr.. Thorn have his
rooms.
The rooms in question are suite and
not suite 8. the latter being occupied
by the Reception Committee. and not in
vOlved in the issue.
Chairman Chamberlain thought that
since those rooms had been so we'll ad-
vertised throughout the State as headquar-
tiers and were so well known as such by the
interior parlors 1t would not be doing JUS
tics to the order TO change on account of
the insult of an individual directed against
a subcommittee
This brought Mr.. Hegler to his feet. He
said: 81 am not child, an ass or fool. l
regard Manager Thorn's actions as pre-
posterous, outrageous, and l, Tor one, wont
stand it.
Nor either" said Henry Martin.
Nor NOR l, said George II. Puppy
and Mr.. Wieland, all of whom were with
Mr.. HeEler ON the special committee for
hotels.
Then, first as we'll as last, may as well
give my ultimatum," said Chairman Cham
berlain. 81 admit we have been grossly in
suited. l must have proper apartments for
my office, where l can be alone, and. at the
same time, near the betting, place of the
subcommittee. If y6d can find such quar-
tiers, am decidedly in favor of going"
MORE ROOM AND MORE MONEY.
1t was thereupOn decided to visit the
apartments offered by Il. A. Unruh. tenn
porary manager of the Baldwin Hotel. This
was done in body.

on the second floor, waiting-room, lobby,
baggage, coat and cloak and reception
rooms were offered the Sons as induce
ments.
All were so pleased with the extra advan-
tage OF the new over the old quarters that
the Executive Committee recommended the
removal, and, acting on their recommend
alton, the officers decided on the change.
which will be made by tomorrow.
Suite OF the Grand Hotel will still bs
occupied by the Reception Committee. IN
less change by that committee be decided
upon.
The Committee on Hotels and Accommo-
dations will remove to the office-room in the
Baldwin Hotel, on the corner of Market
| and Powell, tomorrow. There will be
| sitting-room and room for the temporary
| checking of baggage connected with this
, sBnulng OF guests TO their proper rooms
| throughout the city will be used.
The Mexican Veterans held meeting
last evening with Colonel Andrews in the
chair. 1t was decided to turn out in the
celebratIon parade in full costume.
Dr. Decker says that the removal of the
headquarters to the Baldwin has been the
means OF raising the subscriptions of bust
ness men in that neighborhood
treasurer Dockery stated last night that
as mucn money was raised last night as in
any week previous. Only about $4,000
more is needed, all of which is In sight.
