PLANS FOR FAIR
CAMPAIGN GROW
Panama-Pacific Exposition Com
pany Ready to Touch Fuse
to Publicity Explosive

Many and formidable are the cam
paign plans daily reaching perfection
at the meetings of the directors of the
Panama-Pacif1c exposition company,
and by which they intend TO capture
the 1915 fair at the December session
of congress. Yesterday afternoon was
spent by the directors in conference
with Governor Gillett. The various
new schemes which are expected to
assure San Francisco the federal recog-
milton for which 1t has been working
are expected to be put into operation
shortly.
That San Franciscos claims have
found almost universal favor is made
evident from the action Of the Inter
national Federation of Commercial
Travellers recently in convention at
Thousand islands in the ST. Lawrence
river. At this convention two resolu-
tions were offered, one favoring New
Orleans and one favoring San Fran
cisco as the site for the fair. The dele
gates discussed the subject at length,
and ended by indorsing San Francisco,
which in the popular opinion presented
better opportunities of entertaining and
earring for the thousands who would
journey to the exposition city.
The International Federation OF Com
mercial Travellers includes in its mem
bership an army of $4,000 men who
sell goods all over the world. The or
ganization is credited with being one
of the strongest in the country.
A. L. Crane of the Sacramento
chamber of commerce was in the city
yesterday in the interests of the state
fair to be held in Sacramento in Sep
tember He said that from present in
dications the fair would be a great sue
cess. The dry farming and irriga-
tion exhibits are expected to attract
visitors from the entire southwest
whose services will be Immediately
listed in support of the San Francisco
1915 fair.

SUNSET RESIDENTS WORK
HARD TO RAISE FUNDS
SI7,3O0 Subscribed Toward the
$4,000 Needed

The residents of Sunset are making
strong efforts to raise the $4,000 re-
quired by the United Railroads before
IL win consent to bid on the franchise
proposed over J street and Ninth ave-
nue. in that district To date 1900
has been subscribed by the people, and
an appeal to downtown merchants was
made yesterday TO aid in bringing in
the final S2,7O0 needed.
The United Railroads estimated that
st would have to eXpend 100000 in
constructing the extension from Ma
sonic and Third avenues out the six
blocks of J street and the six of Ninth
avenue to p or Pacheco.
The supervisors have expressed a
willingness to readvertise the privilege
for bids if the $500 for printing is put
up and this the Suburban land COM
psny stands ready to do provided the
entire $4,000 subsidy TO the United
Railroads is in sight. The company
claims that only $4,000 uan be secured
for 100000 bonds, and it wants the
difference.

wv W. WEBSTER, city passenger
M agent of the Pennsylvania
w lines, has just given out a
story of mis- experiences at Reno during
the Jefries johnson fight. 1t seems
that when w w. w" left this city
he had no fight ticket In Reno he met
= friend with a pull who wanted Wv
W w" to exert his pull with the Pull
man company and get him a berth on
one Of the first trains back to this city
Webster promised to get the berth If
his friend would get him ticket Tor
the fight. With this understanding
Webster secured the berths, one for
himself and the other for his friend.
He was promised that the ticket would
be waiting for him at the hotel. At
the hotel he met his friend, turned
over the Pullman ticket and received
the assurance-as his friend rolled
away in an automobile-that the ticket
would be waiting for him at the gate or
the arena.
Webster didn't get the ticket. Later
in the evening, when the trains were
pulling out for San Francisco, Webster
saw his friend in the Pullman, waved
to him and started TO board the train.
YES this is the third section of %,
said the conductor, but your car for
some reason or other wasn't put on this
section. Itll come in on the next sec
ton"
And TO think said Webster, after
getting him the ticket and losing out
on the fight ticket / was unlucky
enough TO give him the Pullman ticket
for the early section. I warmed my
feet at the Reno depot until o'clock
in the morning and reached here at
4 o'clock the afternoon after the fight"
