Matters Talked Over by the Citizens
Executive Committee Yesterday
Afternoon.

There was 8 meeting of the Carnival
Executive Committee yesterday at Cur
tis, Carmichael d Brands o11ce. Chalr-
man Joseph Steffens presided, with G. ii.
Hubbard as Secretary. There were pres
ent also Mayor Stoinman, T. B. Hall, Il.
j. Small. G, B. Katzenstein, L. l.. En-
right, Director General j. .. Coleman,
W. +. Knox, NJ. ]. DilIman, o. w. Erie
wine and r. ID. Stephens.
Mr.. Coleman said that owing to the de-
lay in the arrival of incsndescent lamps
he was making efforts 10 procure suil-
cient number in San Francisco TO supply
the demand. Some Of those on the way
from the East may, however. soon be
heard from.
Invitations have been sent out to tho
Governors and Secretaries Of State OF
most of the States and to Native Sons
parlors The work of sending out invi-
tations is progressing as rapidly as possi-
BILE.
ON motion of Mr.. Katzenstein it was
ordered that each member OF the Execu-
tive Committee Oe allowed twenty invita-
tions for his own use.
Chairman Steifens explained that the
reason no Accommodations committee
had yet been appointed was that the Ma
tive Sons had been very active IN the
matter. The Chairman Of the Native
Sons committee IS in the office OF DI-
rector General Coleman, and 1t had not
been deemed necessary for the Carnival
Committee to take action in the matter
until the Native Sons might ask Tor as
sistance.
Major Steinman thought it was now
time Tor the Carnival Committee TO DO
something toward providing for the ac-
COmmOdatiOn of the vast number OF peo-
pie that will be here. a committee should
be appointed 10 see that charges for
rooms are regulated so that nobody Will
be oVercharged.
Mr.. Hall thought no stated price should
be placed on rooms. Some are worth
fifty cents night, others a dollar, while
some families might provide accommo-
dations that would be worth more, and
there will be visitors who will be willing
to pay it.
Mayor Steinman moved that q commit
tee be appointed to secure aCcOmmoda-
tions, and that it employ a. .. Herrlck
to look after the matter, whose duty 1t
shall be 10 list all rooms that may be
offered. He the Mayor would be will
ing to provide Mr.. Herrick with an Office
free of charge.
The motion was carried, and the Chair
appointed as such committee Frank
Miller, II. Bennett and a. c. Herrick.
Mr.. Coleman announced that j. A.
WoodsOn would not be able to act as
Chairman of the Press Committee for the
entertainment of visiting newspaper men,
aud l.. Is. Willis was named III his stead.
The committee then went into execu-
tive session to consider matters relating
to finances.
