mittee, Motley H. Flint proposed the
following official expression of pur-
pose at the meeting of the executive
committee at Mayor Harper's office
yesterday afternoon:
I'm order that several important
questions relative to the entertainment
of the officers and enlisted men of Ad-
miral Evans fleet may be thoroughly
understood by the general public, the
executive committee presents the fol-
lowing statement:
After careful deliberation and con-
sultation with navy officers and dis
charged enlisted men, we find that a
parade of the sailor boys would be ex-
ceedingly distasteful to them, and in
this case we are the hosts and it is
our duty to properly entertain our
guests and not to expect our visitors
TO entertain US.
"The entire program has been pre-
pared with a view of showing our
guests the bounteous hospitality OF Los
Angeles and Southern California, and
that our entertainment will be such as
to give to each and all of our brave
men of the navy the most pleasant
recollection of their visit to our city.
"Chutes park, which has been Sc
lected for our barbecue and athletic
sports, and Agricultural park, which
has been selected for our Wild west
show, will both be under entire charge
of the committee during the entertain
ment, and no intoxicating liquors VIII
be permitted to be sold or given away
Coffee will be served at the barbecue
and soda water and lemonade only will
be on sale The athletic sports at
o1.1Y Exi1l q a nrOfRSG10nAl
exhibition, but will be under the rules
of the Pacific Amateur association of
the Amateur Athletic union, for which
a sanction for an amateur boxing tour
nament has been issued by the chair
man, George w. Bradon, physical di-
rector of the Young Mems Christian
association of Pasadena"
Held Back Subscriptions
One of the causes of this pronuncia
mento. which was adopted unanimous
ly, was the Indifference of many in the
matter of subscriptions because they
had bee ntold that the celebrations at
the Chutes park and Agricultural park
were to be marked by liquor selling.
Because of this doubt subscriptions
were refused. After adopting the
above the committee, which had full
er attendance than at any other meet
ing, took up a long list of details and
committee reports.
Chairman Prescott of the committee
on neighboring cities submitted a list
of representatives from seventy cities
included in the scope of ''neighbor-
ing cities" This list, while it eX-
tended far to the east, was arranged
so as not to conflict with the arrange
ments of San Diego and San Francis
CO. The names were obtained by ap-
pointment by the ehairmen of the local
fleet committees, the suggestion of
mayors and, where such sources were
not available, by appointment of the
committee here, in such cases the rank
ing official being designated:
