PALO ALTO, July 2.-The arrange
ments for the fitting celebration of the
nations birthday have been completed
and the indications are that there will
be an unusually large attendance of
visitors. The committee in charge of
the celebration has worked hard and
earnestly and that success will crown
it's efforts is now an assured fact.
The parade will be most striking fea-
ture of the festivities and many Native
Sons and Native Daughters from ad-
Joining towns will be in line. There
will be large delegation of visitors
from San Jose. and it is considered
likely that the crowd in Palo Alto on
Monday will far exceed that on pre-
vious holidays. The committeeman will
carefully look after the visitors and
nothing will be left undone that might
contribute to their pleasure. Owing to
the fact that the railroad has given
special holiday rates. many residents
of San Francisco will take advantage
of them and join in Palo Altos cele-
bration.
At meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the town of Palo Alto, held to-
day, the following resolutions were
adopted:
"Ffrst-ResolveH, That, whereas
certain article entitled 'Palo Alto May
Have Trouble, has been published in
an evening paper of the city of San
Francisco at the instigation of the Citi-
zens' Alliance and one Herbert George,
president of the San Francisco Citi-
zens' Alliance, rejecting on the good
name of the college town Of Palo Alto,
and the residents of said town, and
further rejecting on the city govern
ment of said town, it is hereby resolved
that said article is false, unjustified
and injurious to the interests of the
foundation whatever.
Second-Resolved, That, whereas,
said article contained the statement
that law and order will be maintained
by the Palo Alto Citizens Alliance at
any cost: that any such action would
be unlawful and tend to injure and de-
stroy the harmony Of the celebration on
the Fourth of July.
"Third-Resolved, That law and or
der will be maintained by the authority
of the city government of the town
where said authority is vested by the
laws of the State Of California, and any
disobedience or interference with said
authority will be summarily dealt with
according to law.
"Fourth-Resolved, That, whereas,
the Board of Trustees of said town
have already amply provided for police
protection on the Fourth of July, any
attempt on the part Of local organiza
tions to control in the interests of said
organizations would be uniustifiable
and injurious to the celebration of the
Fourth of July.
"Fifth-Resolved, That the Board Of
Trustees of the town of Palo Alto here
by pledge themselves in the interests
of harmony, peace and good will, and
in the interests of the visitors and resi-
dents of the town, to promote and es-
tablish so far as in their power friend
ship and good will between each and
all, that the Fourth of July, 1904. may
go down into the history of Palo Alto
as day of joy. and not of regret, and
to this end the Board of Trustees. in
behalf of the town, ask the co-opera-
tion and assistance of all.
"Sixth-Resolved That we deplore
the publication of the article that has
caused these resolutions to become
necessary at this time.
Passed by the Board of Trustees of
