SAN FRANCISCO. Oct, 2.-After n
strenuous day spent in sightseeing the
delegates to the thirty-fifth annual
meeting of the American Humane AS
sociation convention last night in the
Colonial Ball Room Of the Hotel st.
Francis, and perfected the final pro-
gram that will govern the three days
convention that opened there today.
1t was decided to divide the list OF
speakers and their topics into two
broad divisions. The first day and a
half of the conference will be devoted
to addresses and discussions on ami
mails alone, while the second day and
a half will be given over to addresses
and discussions pertaining to children.
This arrangement will give ample
opportunity for debates upon the
points raised by the various addresses
and at the same time keep the two
departments of the societys endeavor
separate.
With regard to social features that
will break up the monOtony of the
conventions sessions, arrangements
have been made by the local humani-
tartan associations to occupy all the
leisure of the visiting delegates. Trips
have been planned to the show places
of San Francisco, banquets, receptions
and theater parties will fill up the
evenings, and personal escorted junk
etings are already being organized.
