PLANS WONDERFUL
DISPLAY FOR FAIR
Worlds Greatest Electrical Ex-
hibit Suggested as Panama
Pacific Exposition Feature
Citizens Accept Positions on
Permanent Ways and
Means Committee

The rough outline of an elaborate
plan for making the dominant feature
of the Panama Pacific international ex-
position an electrical display more
wonderful and magnificent than any
the world has ever known was among
the suggestions received yesterday by
the temporary exposition COMMITTEES.
The suggestion was contained in let
ter from Ferdinand Fish of ESQ Mont
gomery street. and so unusual and
striking is his conception of plan
of electrical display that it undoubtedly
will receive the serious consideration
OF the permanent committee as soon
as the matter of organization is COM
pleted.
1t is Fish's idea that precedents set
by other fairs should be thrown to the
winds and that inventions still to be
perfected should be relied upon for new
and wonderful effects such as the
world has never seen.
ELECTRICAL BUILDING
Fish suggests that one great build
ing of the exposition should be devoted
exclusively to electricity and that the
electrical manufacturers of the world
be given ample time to perfect novel
and scientific features that would make
1t both a marvel of scieRtffic progress
and at the same time the worlds most
brilliant palace of light. 1t would be.
he declares. the most talked OF wonder
of the fair
In connection with this suggestion
Fish also proposes a gigantic electrical
tower of steel that would dwarf the

MANY ACCEPTANCES RECEIVED
Prior to 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon III acceptances had reached the
headquarters of the temporary COM
mittee from the citizens invited to act
upon the general committee on ways
and means. and in every instance they
were accompanied by expressions OF
the utmost enthusiasm and pledges of
earnest effort. Few refusals To act
were received and these. in every in
stance, were based on Illness, absence
from the city OF kindred reasons.
Articles of incorporation for the ex-
position. bearing the official name
chosen for the fair. were fled yester-
day by Attorney Gavin McNab, repre-
senting the exposition committee.
