In addition there were present the mem.
oers OF the Board OF Lady Managers Of tue
california Worlds Fair exhibit and men,
bers OF the National Commission
c. +. Evans Of Colfax asked IL the exhibit
in the California building would be as a
unit or by counties.
To this interrogatory was due the wrangle
which did not cease with the conclusion of
the evening session. Secretary Thompson
of the commission introduced a resolution
providing that all questions should be SUBJ
mitted IN writing to the Commissioners.
who would consider the queries aud make
replies at a later session.
This Toussd a storm Of criticism. G. C.
Edwards OF Alameda asked: What are we
here Tor? Are we 10 receive instruction
from the Commissioners or are we to in
struct them?"
IF Thompson's resolution Is adopted"
said Colonel F. Fl. Meyers of Alameda,
I'VE may as well adjourn at once. Unless
the question can be answered directly and
positively Alameda will lose all interest in
the exhibit l insist upon direct and
immediate answer"
Jones Of Placer. DR.. o. Harvey OF Sacra-
mento. Adams of Yolo aud Northrup Of
Amador also voiced their objection to
delayed answer. but the resolution. as pre-
sented by Thompson, was finally adopted.
The passing Of the resolution did not end
the discussion upon it. however. Barnard
sion with sharp stick. "What is the use
OF this sabterfuge?" he asked ''Those
Commissioners know the plan they have
already formulated and they can Just as
we'll snlighten us now as to wait three
years"
Jeffries of Alameda moved that the com.
mission return an unequivocal answer to
the question at the evening session, and
alter adopting this motion, the convention
adjourned until 80 o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
When this hour arrived Chairman Cooper
announced TO the convention that the COM
mission was wrestling in executive session
with the question whether the exhibit
should be classified or by counties. A long
wait ensued and to vary the nonot the
kicking members kept In practice by reviey W
Ing the commissions work.
81 understood Mr.. Phelan to saw" said
David Lubln OF Sacramento, "that the
State appropriation would be exhausted
when our exhibits were housed In Chicago,
and that the commission expected the coun.
ties to do the rest. That's very kind Of the
Commissioners. They say that their work
is voluminous. 1 think they had better do
more work and have less volume. 1t Is not
right"
Jeffries of Alameda. Berry of Tulare and
Nortbrup Of Amador grew sarcastic Mt the
expense Of the absent Commissioners and
proposed sending a sergeant-at-arms to
gather them In. when about o'clock they
appeared headed by ice-Presldent Phelan.
The latter said the commission had re-
solved some time ago that the exhibit should
be cumulative, the counties being given due
credit for their exhibits as they appeared in
the general display. In view OF the gem
orally expressed desire for a county exhibit,
however. the commission had modified Its
action. and In accordance Herewith he pre-
scented resolution providing that there
should be both general and q county CLASH
fication OF exhibits. In the former, coun.
ties contributing will be given credit by la
bells and catalogues. and there would be an
harmonious California display In each de-
comfy will be given reasonable space for
a compact exhibit, and will be expected to
contribute to the general classification when
called upon for this purpose.
COLONEL BUTTONS VIEWS.
Colonel r. w. Button Of San Bernardino
said that the United States exhibit would
acquire its success by putting the countries
of tbe world in competition, and that Cali
fornia would be similarly benefited by the
stimulating influences Of county rivalry.
NorthruO OF Amador said his county
play was to appear as part Of the general
display. Amador insisted upon preserving
her identity, otherwise she would not ap-
propriate cents.
Berry made similar statement regarding
Tulsre. which brought Thompson to his feet
with a contradiction.
Maslin Of Placer, Larue OF Sacramento
and Mintie Of Santa Clara favored the reso-
luton as amended. while Wells OF Los
Angeles, Young Of San Diego and others
argued la support Of q cumulative exhibit
only.
The amended resolution was adopted by
vote Of SO to %, the latter number being
understood to oppose separate county dis
plays. j. N. Mccarthy of San Joaquin
