The exodus of society
folk this season seems
unprecedented. t II e
Passion play at Ober-
amnergau is respon-
sible for many of the
enjoyable pilgrimages,
but several of the visi-
tors from this country
will travel for a more
extended time than
those who are going
abroad to see the great
play. Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis CaFolan will
sail June s for Europe,
but Mrs. Carolan is in
Chicago at present,
where she is the guest
of her mother, Mrs.
George Pullman. Fran
els Carolan will leave
in a few days for the
east. and after a brief
stay, perhaps a visit of
a few days, in New
York they will join the
travellers abroad.
Three of the younger
girls who are making
preparations for a trip
abroad this summer and
are very enthusiastic
over the prospective
tour of the old world
are Miss Dorothy Chap
man, Miss Dorothy
Baker and Miss Clara
Allen. They have had
any number of re-
unions making plans
for the voyage and have
been entertained in an
informal way prior to
their departure.
The Glenn Tobins are
established in their new
home at FL Cerrito,
and with the exception
of various brief trips
during the summer will
probably pass the sea-
son there. They go to
Santa Barbara every
year for a brief stay
with the Eugene de
Sablas. but have recent
ly returned from an
outing in the south, so
that they will be at
home for a while. Their
new home is an eX-
tremely attractive place
and will be remembered
as the former home of
Mrs. Eleanor Hyde
Smith and her daugh-
ters. The house is one
of the beautiful coun-
try seat at Ell Cerrito,
and one that is splen-
didly fitted for enter
tainment. 1t is likely
that Mrs. Tobin will en-
terrain at some of the
most notable house par
ties of the summer, and
her debutante sister,
Miss Vera de Saba, will
be frequently a guest.
The house is situated
next to the De Saba

PLAN GREAT HARBOR FOR
GULF WHEN CANAL OPENS
The Transmississippi Commercial
Congress to Consider Aran-
sas Pass Improvement

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. A-One of the
projects under discussion at the twen-
ty-first annual session of the Trans
mississippi Commercial congress which
convenes In San Antonio, November
22-25, is the question of deep water al
Arkansas pass and the proposed action
OF the national congress for an appro-
priation with the view of making that
harbor q great naval point contiguous
to the Panama canal.
At the Oklahoma session in Musko-
gee three years ago the Trans-missis-
sippi Commercial congress unanimous
ly recommended that port to the at
tention of the national congress and
requested the selection of a commits
sion to investigate the possibilities in
view of the speedy completion of the
canal. Upon that recommendation con-
gress passed law creating commits
sion, and the following year that COM
mission recommended a preliminary
appropriation of $29 900, together
with a systematic proposition for the
expenditure.
Last winter Congressman George F.
Burgess introduced the preliminary bill
and during the past few months gov
ernment engineers have been at work
making surveys and creating plans for
government buildings, dockage, etc. It
is asserted that at this point there will
be sufficient water for the entire navy
at present and for years to come.
If the plans are carried out 1t is
proposed to make a harbor on the gulf
coast contiguous to the canal that will
compare in size with any naval estab-
lishment yet created in any country.

HOUSTON MAKES PLANS
FOR NOTABLE FESTIVAL
Twelfth Annual Event in Novem'

Surprising SpIendor
[snecial TO The Herald

HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 4.-To two
southern cities goes the credit for Or
iginating a period of real mirth and
play covering an entire week and serv-
ing to illustrate the old adage that all
work makes for dullness. New Or
leans, with her world famous Mardi
Gras celebration, and Houston with her
No-Tsu-Oh festival have proved that
in these days of rush and business
worry. the people appreciate an oppor-
tunity to halt and play awhile.
During the second week in the next
month this city will be given over to
the most distinctive festival in all the
country, this being the twelfth annual
carnival. The entire business district
is gayly decorated, and by night the
gorgeous electrical illumination con-
verts it into blaze of light. King
Notice, who is supposed to sail from
the realm of Tekram, arrives on
royal yacht at the foot of Main street
and is escorted through the streets Of
the city at the head of a most impos-
ing parade. That is the signal for the
frolic to begin and confetti battles rage
over Houston for the succeeding five
days
There is nothing serious about this
carnival 1t is just time for play

The TheaterS


'aThe Blue Mouse" Clyde Fitch's
lively farce that has been delighting
big audiences at the Belasco theater
for two weeks, will commence the th1rd
week of it's record breaking success
next Monday night. Although 1t was
the intention of the management to
make this week the last Of 1.-The Blue
Mouse" 1t was found necessary last
night to announce another week, ow-
ing to the business that the play has
enjoyed and the demand which the
box office was unable to supply. With
the third week of 1.-THE Blue Mouse"
a new record for long run farces Will
be established, as this is the only fun
show that has ever been given for
three weeks by a local stock company.
The piece is all that it has been
termed, "rich. rare and racy," and
throughout the humor runs high.
Eleanor Gordon is giving what might
be said a perfect bit of work as Paul
ette Divine and is giving it Just the
proper touch of Partisan coquetry
which in contrast with Mr.. Stone,
sombre and sedate secretary, is the
basis for three acts of uproarious fun
with scarcely a letup from the rise to
the fall of the curtain.

MUMSEN SAYS LOS ANGELES
CENSUS COUNT is CORRECT

That there are no errors in the CEN
sus figures of Los Angeles which
would justify a recount was the
opinion expressed by Hart Mumsen,
representative of the census bureau
at Washington, yesterday just before
leaving for Seattle, where he will
probe alleged padding an the census
count of that city.
Further than assuring his question
ers that Los Angeles figures were cor
rect, as far as he could ascertain, Mr..
Mumsen would have nothing to say on
the investigation being conducted by
his department. my visit to Los An
geles," he said yesterday, was more
on the order of checking UP the fgures
of certain localities than an investi-
cation of the entire recount"

$l00 less than the amount due now, it
was far moreSthan she could pay. She
is a widow and is dependent on the
