Omaha, Sept. 16, 1910.
Mr.. J. B. Haynes, Special Representative,
Worlds Exposition, City:
My Dear Mr.. Haynes have your cir
cular letter OF Sept IS. relative to the
Worlds Exposition and note carefully
all that Is contained therein. 1 take is
sue with you in reference to San Fran
cisco.
1 do so fully appreciating the fact that
you are a special representative of New
Orleans, and it is your duty to plug for
that city. but when 1t gets down to
brass tacks. in my judgment there Is no
comparison between the two cities as
rivals for the Panama exposition.
/ have visited both cities many times.
New Orleans is not in the same class
as San Francisco, in climate, beauty Of
surroundings or in general interest to
the average traveller.
think it is unfair to damn San Fran
cisco on account of something that the
Chronicle has printed, or to GO into an
cient history and quarrel over an act OF
the California legislature.
have in mind what SaE Francisco
has gone through in the last few years,
and the undaunted spirit of it's people,
and what the people of the west owe to
that spirit and which they can only pay
by encouraging them in their future I'M
dertakings. Yours truly,
(Sfgned) r. MILLER.

schwab For San Francisco.

Charles M. Schwab. former head of
the steel trust says: 81 favor San
Francisco for the Panama-Pacific ex-
position in 1915, and you can put me
down among the boosters. I will also
promise that if San Francisco holds
the exposition the Bethlehem Steel
company will take part by exhibiting
its products of armor and armament,
an exhibit that has not appeared
since the Centennial exposition in
1876"

Hitchcock Favors San Francisco.

Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster
general, says: Nothing would please
me more highly than the selection of
San Francisco for the Panama-Paciflc
exposition. and I think the record OF
rebuilding and the recovery from the
fire, as well as the remarkable record
made In the raising OF money for the
support OF the fair, should be recog-
nized, and will have great weight
with congress in reaching decision
as to the location Of the exposition"

SAN FRANCISCO Is
THE LOGICAL PLACE
Omaha Man Tells Why Exposition
Should Go TO California.
San Francisco has some very good

San Francisco has some very good
friends in the middle-west and in the
Mississippi valley section, friends
who are not at all backward in ex-
pressing their preference for this
city as the site for the proposed ex-
position In celebration of the compile.
ton of the Panama canal.
This fact was strikingly illustrated
recently through the effort of the spe-
cial representative of the New Or
leans exposition boosters, in Omaha,
to secure an endorsement for the
southern city from the Commercial
club, Omaha's leading organization OF
business men.
In trying to secure this endorse
ment, ]. B. Haynes, New Orleans
special representative. addressed
circular letter to the members of the
club and received reply which must
have had the effect of cold douche
on his hopes.
Haynes letter and the reply, which
is signed by r. Miller, one of the
most influential members Of the club,
are here given:

Telephone: Douglas 1927.
Omaha, Neb, Sept. 10. 1910
My Dear Sir-I understand the Com
mercial club has asked it's members to
express in the form of a postcard vote
a preference as between New Orleans
and San Francisco-the two cities which
are competing for congressional action
designating a city in which to celebrate
the completion OF the Panama canal in
1915. Before casting your vote, please
read the enclosed circular containing
points bearing directly on the subject.
In forming a conclusion in the case, do
not forget the shabby treatment accord
ed to the big Nebraska delegation which.
ut large expense, took a special to Cali
fOrnia to induce the legislature at Sac
ramento to provide for an exhibit at the
exposition in Omaha in 1898. That leg
islature passed such bill, but before
the Omaha delegation had Travelled many
miles on the return trip the bill was re-
pealed, and California did not partici-
pate I'm the Omaha exposition More
over, within the last few months the
San Francisco Chronicle printed an edi
torial asserting the failure Of the Omaha
exposition. That city is positively I'M
friendly to Omaha for some reason or
other.
The Worlds Panama Exposition COM
pany Of New Orleans Is bidding for
Omaha's support. 1t has done what no
other exposition company ever did by
establishing branch Office in Omaha,
which is a compliment to this city, to
say the least. and is enough to entitle
the New Orleans Dr0jact TO the thought
full consideration Of every citizen Of
Omaha.
would appreciate reply.
Yours truly,

A VANISHING Tip.

When vanishing wood the work
must be done In warm room at q
temperature of at least Is degrees E.
At lower temperature the moisture
In the air will give milky and cloudy
appearance to the varnish. On the
other hand, at the higher temperature
the moisture is not precipitated until
the alcohol of the varnish has sufti-
GENTLY evaporated to leave a thin
smooth film Of shellac. The durabil-
ity and gloss are dependent on this.

GOAL FAMINE
IN HAMMOND

The consensus of opinion among the
coal dealers of the city is that there is
enough of supply on hand to meet the
immediate needs of the city, and 1t is
known that there are large shipments
of coal on the way here from various
parts of the country.
Some of the dealers in the city have
raised the price of coal from $3.50 to
IS a ton, but this advance is not gener-
al over the city. There seems to be
plenty of soft coal on hand, but the
chestnut coal is short.
Walter Sohl of the City Fuel company
said that he has been fortunate in or
dering a large supply of coal in an
ticipation of this demand and says he
has five carloads on the tracks now.
The soft weather of the past two
days is making the movements of coal
easier, and it is expected that there will
be a good supply on hand in another
week.

BURT NEW
RETURNS TO
GIVE REPORT

But New returned to Indianapolis yes
terday, and it is understood that he
has made his report to the governor
regarding the poolselling situation in
Lake county.
So far nothing has been heard of
this report. However, the probabilities
are that Governor Marshall now knows
just who is boosting the game in Chi
cago adm in Lake county.
Whether he will take occasion to
criticise the lack of activity on the
part of certain city officials is not
known. In fact the next word from
the governor will be awaited with in
terest.
There are further reports about the
activity of the gamblers. How they
propose to bet in Indiana and have the
bets paid in Illinois, but those who are
close to the situation do not believe
that any further effort will be made to
operate the Dearborn Park poolroom.

features of the decoration is an ever
green tree reservation set aside pur-
posely /as a resting place for the Ia

place of palm trees for similar occa-
sions. These evergreen trees are ar
ranged along one side of the hall and
make a very pretty effect Invitations
have been sent out to all the singers
and they are privileged to bring their
friends along. All are urged to bring
their children along, as the big Christ
mas tree at one end of the hall will
have something for every child. There
will also be good music, singing and
dancing.
The celebration is an annual event
and Judging from the attendance it Is

"BO'S" FLOCK TO

Bewhiskered Knights of the
+, Road Make City Their
Stopping Place.

Two thousand, two hundred and
twenty eight dodgers were harbored at
the local police station during the year
1909, as against 2,24e in the year 1908.
The statistics have just been complete
by Des Sergeant Henry Sahfer and
will be embodied in the annual report
of the department.. While the number
this year is somewhat smaller the de-
crease is hardly worthy of mention in
so large a number. The hobos rep
resent practically every nationality in
America. Few of them lay claim to any
home. and most of them give their
occupation as that of laborer.
The biggest majority of them, of
course, drift in during the winter
months-January. February and March
