Cincinnati, April 27.-The new Ham
burg American liner, Cincinnati in port
in New York, was the scene of a pref
ty ceremony yesterday noon, when
committee of representative citizens
appointed by the mayor of the Ohio
city arrived on board the vessel,
bringing a gift from the people of Gin
cinnati, consisting of four panel paint
ings of characteristic scenes of the
city
The citizens of Cincinnati believe
that having liner named after the
city is worth making a fuss about. So
when the new ship arrived in New
York on it's maiden trip last June,
Frank B. Wiborg and H. F. Fanny,
loyal Cincinnatians, were on hand to
ascertain what would be the proper
thing to do under the circumstances.
They found in the ladies' salon, mag
nificent room finished in white and
gold, four empty panels as suitable
for views of Cincinnati as if expressly
made for the purpose. Returning to
Cincinnati they made a recommends
ton to joint committee representing
the city council, the Chamber of Com

California Must Present United
Front to Secure Congress
sional Appropriation

That frantic efforts are being made
Francisco and California the honor OF
holding the exposition of 1915, in COM
memoration of the opening of the Pan

tive businessmen of the Crescent City

cessity of concerted action, holding
that the dissension in the state OF
California at the present time may
have damaging influence with con-
gress when the matter of an appro-
priation is broached
In letter from Congressman Kahn
received yesterday. he says that it is
absolutely imperative that the entire
state, and as a matter of fact the en-
tire Pacific coast get into the "boost
all pulling for San Francisco, which
is the logical position for the exposi-
ton. The letter states that every ef-
fort is being put forth by the Dixie

that be in washington, adding that the
matter has now become a state issue
