John S. Mitchell, president OF the

the entertainment of the visiting hotel

San Bernardino and Riverside today.

association will go to San Bernardino
this morning, and aid in conducting
the visitors to Los Angeles, arriving
here with the party this evening.
Mr.. Mitchell had some doubt as to
the advisability of going to San Ber-
nardino yesterday caused by the re-
ceipt of several kilograms from the
travellers en- route. The first one came
early yesterday afternoon and stated
the narrowing news that H. j. Bohn,
j. X. Blatchford and John Wiley
were all under arrest at lei Tovar, and
as result the trains had to be held
there until they could be extricated
from the clutches of the law. The
telegram did not state what their Of
fense was, Mr.. Mitchell was in a guam
dairy as to the best method to proceed,
finally deciding to wire for full par
ticulars.
The answer returned was that the
three Chicago hotel men had been ar
rested by the United States marshal
for trying to tear up the Grand canyon
and ship 1t to Chicago. Their release
was secured. kilograms of similar
tenure kept the wires In this city hot
yesterday and evidently the excursion
lists are having the time OF their lives"
or the trip here.

ern California for more extended
visit. Two OF the excursions, those
from Chicago and New England. dis
band here, the one from New York be-
ng the only one to go straight through.
