WI cation of the citizens of his State
who have journeyed westward TO
greet Funston and his returning heroes
arrived at the Occidental Hotel last even
ing.
They came via the Santa Fe, and as the
train was little late the party at once
went to dinner and afterWard retired al
most Immediately to their rooms to enjoy
a good rest and endeavor to recover from
the fatigues of their long trip by rail
When seen for few minutes in the lob
by the Governor said that as yet nothing
definite had been determined upon regar-
ing the reception that would be accorded
the troops after they have reached their
native State.
The State has not appropriated any
money for the free transportation of the
men to their homes, but will do so. and
the Santa Fe has agreed to carry the regi-
ment from this city to Topeka and take
it's chances of recovering the cost of
transportation from the people Of Kansas
at some future time.
At Topeka a monster reception will be
given the veterans who stand so high in

the battle records of Luzon. The particu-
lars of this reception have not yet been
fully worked out, but it is promised that 1t
will surpass anything that has ever be-
fore been attempted in the State of Kan
sas.
AS to Funston himself, the delegation
that arrived last night said that he can
have any political Office he wishes that is
in the gift of the people of his State.
With the Governor are Adjutant Cen

BUSINESS MEN
FORM TRAFFIC
ORGANIzATIO
Will Defend Trade Of
the Coast.
H. D. LOVELAND CHAIRMAN
Leading Lines of Business Repre-
sented in Central Body, Which
Will Be Increased by Other
Cities.

The Pacific Coast Traffic Association
Was called into existence yesterday after
noon at the meeting of wholesalers, job
bers and manufacturers. An executive
committee was elected and the organiza-
tion was further forwarded by the cleo
ton of II. D. Loveland as chairman and
w. r. Wheeler as vice chairman by the
executive committee. The immediate pUr-
pose Of the association is to oppose the
suit Of the St. Louis jobbers before the In
terstate Commerce Commission to put into
effect graded rates and to make other rul-
ings which would seriously affect the buSi-
ness Of the whole Pacific Coast.
The meeting was called TO order by H
y. LOveland, who nominated Charles Hol-
brook for chairman. The choice being rat
flied, Mr.. HolbrOok addressed those pres
ent at some length. Nearly every large
business house in the city was repre-
sented.
II. D. Loveland said that the business
men Of the coast must defeat the Eastern
men or be defeated in business. The
Eastern jobbers sought TO wipe out the
dinerential between the carload and less
than carload; to grade rates from the At
lantic seabOard to St. Louis; TO do away
with Pacific Coast terminals Graded
rates would mean that every point west
of New York 10 St. Louis should have
lower rates than New York on Pacific
Coast business. If it was proper TO grade
to St. Louis it was proper also to grade
TO Reno, Truckee and BeniCia, and these
points would have lower rates than San
Francisco. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission was the court of last resort.
Grading rates would put the Atlantic
Coast at disadvantage, for which reason
the Atlantic seaboard should make com
mon cause with the Pacific Coast. This
was understood in the East. and COM
munications had already been received
from Eastern commercial organizations
Grading would limit the market in which
San Francisco could buy or sell. Mr.
LOveland also showed the disastrous ef-
feet that abOlishing Pacific Coast ter
minalS would have.
W r. Wheeler reported a plan of or
ganiZatiOn which was adopted. This fixed
the name, provided for an executive COM
mittee of nine to represent the principal
lines Of business on the coast, five mem
bers to be a working body; Los Angeles.
Sacramento, Portland and Puget Sound
cities TO appoint additional members; pro-
VidinS also for committees from principal
lines to collect funds for expenses; also
that the. executive committee should ap-
point officers. This was adopted

A NEAT CROSS OF BRONZE
South Dakota Men Will Leave for
Home on Their Special Train
at Five O'Clock To-Mor-
row Evening.

Governor Rogers and several members
of his staff, besides q number of ladies,
visited the general hospital yesterday In
search of any Washington men that
might be there, SO they might decorate
the sufferers with the State medal to be
presented TO the men of the regiment
when it has returned.
There were seven Washington men in
the capitalization Churchill. John J
Mcneil, Louis E. Brittson and c.
H Hovey Of Company H, Robert
b. Bucklin of Company K and
Jesse Arnold and Robert T Golden Of
Company c. Golden was so i'll with ty-
phoid that no one but the Governor was
allowed TO see him, but the others were
all ready and anxious to see the delega-
ton, and in each ward where there was
Washington man quite a levee was held.
Governor Rogers himself decorated each
man, at the same time acknowledging
his service in the name of the State.
The medals are of bronze, in the form of
4 Maltese cross, in the center Of which is
design of soldier holding a flag, with
q fortified sea coast In the distance and
CannOnS and rifles in the foreground On
the arms Of the cross are the name Of the
regiment and the date of the war The
medal is swung by tricOlOred ribbon

milton of service in the Philippines" The
decoration IS an exceedingly neat one.

not come back to this side of the bay,
but will leave its present camp to go on

what transport the regiment will sail on,

SOME LOVERS, A BOAT,
SOLDIERS AND TROUBLE
What Happened to Jones When He
Tried to Further the Plans of an
Unmilitary Cupid.

To go a-wooing and end up by getting
half drowned and being shot at by an
unsympathetic private in the army is
rough indeed. But when the woOing is
a sort of Miles Standish affair and some
one else is to profit by your devotion then
the unpleasantness becomes akin to pain.
None know this better than Clarence
H. Jones, an enterprising theatrical man
from Portland, Or, who has only been in
the city a short time. According to the
story of Mr. Jones, told at the Palace
Hotel, he and another gentleman under
took yesterday afternoon to convey the
solace of affection to two imprisoned of
fcers of the Thirty-first Regiment, at
present quarantined at Angel Island.
This solace was represented by two love
ly young ladies, the sWeethearts of the
quarantined officers.
Everything had been so nicely arranged
by letter that there seemed to be no pos
sibility of a slip. Jones and the precious
freight he was conveying were to go from
this city to Tiburon, where they We're to
get a small boat and row over to the
island. The officers had subsidized an i'm
pecunious private to keep watch and no.
tify them of the arrival of the boat,
which they were to meet at certain
Jones and his friend carried out their
part of the campaign to the letter and
all went well until the watching private
gave the signal of the boats approach.
This signal not only aroused the ex-
pectant officers, but alarmed the guard,
who arrived on the scene just in time to
see the boat within the quarantine line
and the TWO officers waiting on the shore
TO meet it.
The officers We're at once ordered to
their quarters under arrest and the oc-
cupants of the boat were directed to land
and be chained up also.
This they were more than willing to do
as the plug in the bottom of the boat had
come out and the ladies were sitting in
water up to their knees with a fair pros
pect of the boat sinking.
Before they had proceeded many yards
landward Jones found the plug and, put
ting it in the hole. directed his companion
to pull for the Tiburon shore while he
bailed out.
AS soon as the soldiers on the beach no
tiCed the boat change direction they called
upon its occupants to retrace their course
or be shot. The ladies pleaded for Jones
to keep on and get them out of the
scrape, which he-gallant fellow that he
is-did, nor was his speed toward the
Tiburon shore lessened by three bullets
which the minions of Uncle Sam sent
whistling over the boat.
However, the bullets went wide of their
mark, and the whole party escaped to
Belvedere and thence to the city
Jones. in summing up the engagement
last night, reported the following losses
in his command: Two ruined pair Of
trousers, two pair damp silk stockings,
number of skirts stained by sea water.
silk and otherwise, two pair blistered
the Palace Hotel on the verge of nervous
prostration. II is said that the tears that
were shed caused an unusually high tide
on the Marin County shore.

County Hospital Contractors Serve
Notice on the Supervisors.

The Finance Committee of the Board Of
Supervisors yesterday heard further COM
plants from the contractors who have
been supplying the City and County Hos
pital with provender, but nothing further
claims than at the meeting on Thursday,
when the committee announced that the
hospital authorities must keep their ex-
penditures within $5S33 per month or take
Company Mau, Sadler & Co., H. Levi &
Co and L. Paetek were all represented,
and for a time there was some warm
talk Chairman Perrault, however, was
obdurate, and served notice on them all
that they would have to keep their bills
within the appropriation or close up shop.
The contractors filed official notice with
the board that they would furnish no
more supplies unless their claims were
paid.
