Ing the later hours of yesterday. more
than thousand people thronging the
Palace hotel for .'the dansant" from
to o'clock, and an even larger
crowd than on the opening night be-
ing present in the evening for the
second performance of the episodes OF
the pageant at Dreamland.
The promptness with which the cur

in minute of the scheduled time
Jason and his argonauts began their
episode
Smoothness marked the entire affair
last night and swing and dash made
it go merrily. Every one had gained
in grace, confidence and all the other
attributes necessary to success, and
1T is safe to say that tonight will be
the best of the three presentations of
the gorgeous spectacle
An added feature last night was the
dancing of a Brazilian tango by Mr.
and Mrs. Douglas Crane in the inter-
mission.
The dansant proved conclusively
yesterday that San Francisco, in COM
mon with the rest of the world, is
dance mad Those who did not
dance were enthusiastic onlookers.
Tables lined the palm garden of the
Palace and the crowds who were un-
able to find more than standing room
stood behind those who were seated
in close packed rows.
There were exhibition dances by a
number of the experts of the city,
which were the focus of serried ranks
of 1orgnettes.
This afternoon the children's day
program Will be given at Dreamland,
consisting of stories, dances and a
scene from Alice in Wonderland .
and beginning at $3.50 o'clock. To-
night will witness the final perform

MODERN CRIMINALS TAME
The criminals of two score years

with whom the police of today have
to cope, according to Hogan. Hogan
says the criminal of this century is
more modern in his way, because he
must compete with the authorities.

ancient methods and theories.
Hogan's suit OF gray was the only

cherishes it as a memento. When the
blue uniform was adopted. he went
into the detective bureau and still
holds that rank.
