Special to The Tribune.
SAN DIEGO, April 25.-Since the
determination was reached by the di.
rectors of the San Diego Panama-C Cali
fornia Exposition to hold a worlds
exposition, and to invite participation
from all of the states of the United
States and all of the countries of the
world, the stockholders of the exposi-
ton corporation have met and voted
down the proposal of the directors to
increase the capital stock Of the cor
poration from 100000 to $4,000, 900,
with the avowed intention of increas-
ing the amount to $3,500,000. Another
meeting of the stock holders has been
called for sixty days hence, when the
action increasing the capital stock to
$780, 900 will be taken.
The additional amount raised by
subscription to the stock will be used
In extending the grounds, in the erec-
ton of more buildings, and in the
further adornment of the grounds to

the expedition. 1T has been deter
mined by the directors that besides
going to every foreign country and
every state Of the Union for partici-
patton, the portion of the exposition
to be built by the San Diego organize
ton shall In comprehensive manner
show the progress Of man from the
primate to the present. In this great
work the support Of the Archaeology
cal Institute Of America and the
Smithsonian Institution has already
been enlisted, and DR.. Edgar l. Hewett,
director of the Archaeological Insti-
tute, has been named as director Of
the exhibit.
The present capital stock of the San
Diego exposition was found to have
been over-subscribed to the amount of
100000, when the stockholders met
In the early part of April, and it is
now confidently believed by the direc-
tors that before the work on the build
ings and grounds is completed in 1913
the total amount of new capitaliza-
ton will have been paid in.

..C|,ARPATnIA ChEERED
AS she DEPARTS
With flagat Half Mast Rescue
Ship Resumes Interrupted
Voyage

NEW YORK, April 25.-The Cunard
liner Carpathia, which rescued and
brought to port the survivors OF the
Titanc, started again her interrupted
trip to the Mediterranean. Her flag,
like every flag in sight, and there
were many on shipping and the tall
buildings which can be glimpsed from
the water front, was at half mast In
honor of the Titanic's gallant dead.
Captain Rostron had another
crowded hour" and between times
when he was not busy looking after
the preparations for departure, attend
ed the congressional committee in
vestigation into the loss of the White
Star liner, reported to the officials OF
the line here and write his report for
the home office in Liverpool. This
report, just before sailing, he made
public.
He and his crew had very little rest
since Sunday night, when the Car
pathia picked up the Fitanic's distress
signal Even though many did not
realize the plight of the Titanic, the
crew turned out to prepare the boats,
to make sandwiches, get ready accom-
modations for the survivors and turn
the vessel into an emergency hospital
in case of need A steward paid this
tribute to Captain Rostren:
Tribute to captain Rostron.
Captain Rostron is soldier al
we'll as a sailor. He ordered the hot
water shut off all over the ship and
turned every bit Of heat into steam.
Ut was speed we needed 10 get there
and we got there. Captain Rostron
did everything that could be done,
and, more than that, he did not con-
tent himself with sticking to brain
work alone. He got down and did the
hardest kind of work. One OF the first
things done was to muster the stew
ards In the saloon and Chief Steward
Hughes told US that q wireless had
been received that. the Titanic had
hit an iceberg and would probably
be wanting help"
When wireless word was received
here that the Carpathia had decided
to turn back to New York instead Of
making Halifax with the survivors the
real work Of getting ready for her de-
parture within a day Of her arrival
fell upon Captain Roberts, Superin-
tenddent of the line.
n The real feat performed by Captain
Roberts after consultation with the
White Star officials was dn the ar
made to prevent STAN
pede and panic when the survivors
began to come ashore. More than
100 employees of the Cunard line and
White Star line were told off and sta.
toned at every point on the pier. 1t
was these who kept back the crowd
and formed the lane through which
the survivors, walked until they were
we'll away from the gangplank Of the
Carpathia.
