of Southern California editors met and
agreed to support San Francisco in her
fight to have and to hold the great
fair which will celebrate the opening
of the canal across the isthmus.
The heads of fifty-two newspapers
south of the Tehachapi arrived in this
city at 11:40 this morning. The dele
cation, which was under the Leadership
of D. c. Collier the prime mover of
the effort to secure an exposition for
the city of San Diego to run con-
Jointly with the one planned for San
Francisco, was met at the depot by
Mayor Clio Lloyd and heads of city
departments, who, on behalf of the
citizens of the Channel city, extended
a hearty welcome. The scribeS, led by
q band marched to the Hotel Potter,
headed by James McNab, San Fran
ciscos exposition chief, who was hand
cuffed to Collier.
At the hotel the third degree was ad-
ministered to all of the visiting writ
ers. The third degree, it may be re-
marked, was fearfully and wonderfully
planned. One by one the victims were
led into one of the hotel bathrooms,
where a copy of the proclamation OF
the mayor of Santa Barbara was read
and a committee of citizens carried out
its dictates. The editors were released
from the room penniless. One fortunate
visitor found S cents on reaching the
corridor; this great wealth was no
ticed and he was hurried back into the
chamber of poverty and relieved OF ms
last nickel.
Mayor Lloyd's proclamation follows:
