0cot1ord, manager of the Pacific rail-
ways advertising company The scheme
was outlined at a meeting of the San
francisco advertising mems association
at the Techau tavern. When it was

The journey of the delegation

offers of help. On their heels trooped
another party of Denver newspaper
men, together with citizens delega-
tion headed by Mayor Cooke. At Jules
burg Junction there was another re-
ception.
At North Platte, Neb., Mayor Patter-
son, leading an unusually large num-
Der of his fellow townsmen, met the
train with cheers and well wishes and
similar scenes were enacted at Grand
Island and Fremont. The chief topic
of the conversations and the subject of
the speeches was ths feat of raising
more than $4,000, 600 in two hours This
fact seems to have made the deepest
impression on the country at large and
the general sentiment is that a city
which is SO ready to help itself ought
to receive federal encoura cement
BANQUET AT WASHINGTON
The delegates will give a big banquet
at the Metropolitan club Friday night
at which the guests will include sena-
tors, congressman, diplomats and news
papermen. Senator Perkins will pre-
side and Governor Gillett will voice the
sentiments of the state
request was sent out by acting
Mayor Kelly to the heads of all munic-
ipal departments asking them to aid in
the work of the Panama Pacific COM
mittee and to post blank subscription
lists in their offices so that those under
them who wish to purchase stock will
nave an opportunity of doing so The
executive council has decided to accept
no single payment of less than S. in
order to save the big expense and labor
OF book keeping. This means that
person buying a single share of stock
may pay for it in two payments.
Must Throttle Vice
That San Francisco. like SEATTLE will
have TO go through a process of civic
mouse cleaning" in advance of the
exposition if this event is to be sue
cess will be one of the arguments
against the extension of vice offered
at the mass meeting to be held in
Dreamland rink next Sunday afternoon.
The claim of the women who are be-
hlnd the movement for the better
ment of the moral condition of San
francisco is that the eastern home
builder and investor likely to be at
tracted here by the exposition will be
driven away to other places where
there is not as much temptation for his
children. 1t is argued that San Fran
cisco is losing many valuable home
builders solely on this account.
The general committee in charge of
the mass meeting is composed of Mrs.
John s. Merrill, Miss Katherine Hit
tell, Mrs. Helen S. Moore Mrs. Eliza
beth Gerberding and Mrs Charles A
Hawkins.
