MILLION TO WITNESS BIG
NAVAL REVIEW IN BAY
By Associated Press.

| By Associated Press.
! SAN FRANCISCO, May 5.-Probably
| the largest crowd in the history of San
| Francisco will be assembled tomorrow
| around the shores of the bay to witness
| the arrival of the Atlantic fleet.
Thousands of persons are arriving
daily by train and boat from all parts
of the coast. and many are coming from
as far east as Chicago. Special trains
are coming in every hour and all are
crowded to their utmost capacity.
1t is estimated the number of visitors
and residents here to greet the war
ships will be not far from one million.
The elevated character of the shores
affords many vantage points, and a
entering the Golden Gate and sweeping
in long curving lines to their anchorage
in Mission bay.
Goat island, on which is located the
naval training school, will be thrown
open to the public and will be thronged
with people who will have an unex-
celled position for observing at close
range the evolutions of the battleships.
Across the bay on the Marin county
an unobstructed view, not only of the
bay but of portion of the ocean out
side the heads.
Many excursion steamers have been
chartered and every available craft will
be pressed into service. The bay doubt
less will be crowded with visitors as
never before, though a broad passage
way will be left clear for the ships of
the fleet.
The decorations throughout the city
are now complete and present a beau
tiful appearance, especially at night
when illuminated by thousands of in
candescent lamps.

absolutely ignoring public opinion and

entering into the controversy at a
