Special Train Bearing Party Arrived
in the City Over the Central
This Afternoon-Dr. But
Ter to Speak.


met by a large number of citizens
who were determined to show the
visitors that they were in city OF
entertainers. The party is travelling
| in a special train of six Puilmans
and baggage car that was placed at
their disposal by the Wabash rail-
road. AS soon as they disembarked
from the train and after a general
exchange of greetings they were Ia
ken in autos for a spin over the city.
The program for the afternoon and
night will be carried out as was print
ed in this paper yesterday
| Those gentlemen lay stress on the
statement that they have rot come to
the southwest for the purpose of cap
turing all or any part of the trade OF
this territory from another market,
They say they are in Texas in sup
port of a crusade to get acqua1nt-
ed. They want to meet and shake
hands with the people here, hoping
first that it will cause the cementing
of friendships both new and worth
while, and second, that it will result
in other things beneficial to Texas
as well as to Chicago. Texans have
advertised that they have much raw
material and vast undeveloped re-
sources. The Chicagoans are anxious
to learn more of these things.
I've might want to buy some OF
| them" one remarked.
| Nevertheless it is not denied the
| desire is that this trip shall result in
| closer trade relations between Chi
eago and Texas. All trade or nearly
all they believe, is based upon ac-
auaintance if not upon friendship,
the conditions in this respect having
changed in the last few years. They
will be satisfied if they make more
friends in Texas, but they will be
gratified if these friendships result
in more business.
That this trip is not for purely
commercial gain is shown by the fact
that Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the Uni
versity of Chicago, one of the most
| highly cultured and entertaining men
| of the day. is member of the party,
| by express and pressing invitation of
| the organization. DIR. Butler is con
sidered an acquisition to any com
pany. and is widely known for his
courtesy and broad mindedness. He
| was asked because the Association OF
| Commerce desired to show that Chi
| cago is not wholly given over to
things commercial; that, Instead, its
people have an appreciation of art
and science.
Dr.. Butler will deliver an address
| at Trinity University at O'Clock to-
night The public is invited to hear
him.
| Several others of the travellers are
| leaders in their fields, Chester Cor
ey is one of the important factors in
