SAN FRANCISCO, 1915


One day in San Francisco Mr.. Mad
dox took me over to the general offices
of the Exposition and Introduced me
to some of the pccple he knew. They
introduced us around and we became
pretty well acquainted with the heads
OF departments.
Among these were Mr.. c. c. Henion.

N. Wright. chief editor of Exposition
stan. Charles A. vogelsang. commits
sioner OF state and foreign organiza-
tions. and George Hough Perry. direc-
tor of division CT sxpioitation-
These men maze up a live bunch
and they took special pains TO tell us
and show us a great deal about the
wonderful Exposition tina. is to be
pulled on in 1915.
Mr.. Perry took us in an automobile
out to the Exposition site and We were
driven all over the grounds while Mr..
Perry showed us and told US all abcnt
it. He introduced us to the chief ar
chitect. designers. ETC.. who showed
us the plans and pictures of what the
Exposition will look like when COM
pleted.
Mr.. Perry is a live wire. He is an
advertising man from New York One
O. his multitudinous duties under the
disguise of Director. Division OF
Exposition" is to get, one way or an
position, a million dollars worth OF
advertising from the newspapers OF
the world.
VIII he get IL? Well. after two OF
three hours spent under the seductive
influence of Mr.. Perry's pleasing and
persuasive personality i am willing To
venture bet that he will. am cor
vinced that Mr. Perry win get what
he goes after-and noticed nothing
to Indicate that there Is any modesty
in his makeup that will prevent him
from going after everything imagin-
able in the way of Exposition pubIici-
~.
Heads of the other departments will
have the pleasure OF spending the
twenty-five million dollars that has
been raised for the exposition while
Mr.. Perry is expected 10 make the
Exposition a success by advertising
It over the wide. wide. world without
any real money. And be will do 1t

The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1913-06-05

The exposition people are much
disappointed that Colorado has made
no appropriation for state building
am of the opinion that there never
has been an exposition where II would
pay Colorado so well to make n show
ing as at this one. California is
having a great boom Just now. That
boom will be practically ended in
1915. The people looking for invest
ments will be coming back. Colorado
will catch a lot OF these. She might
catch a whole lot more Of them by
making good showing OF her re-
sources at the Panama Exposition.
Colorado is in position TO profit very
greatly in 1915.
The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1913-06-05

After we had had little talk with
Mr.. Perry something was said about
Canon City. Are You from Canon
city," said Mr.. Perry. Just yester-
day wrote letter to a chap at Cam

to run the Exposition" He had the
stenographer look up the hle and he
read to the crowd my letter to him
of a few weeks ago and his letter %
me written the day before and We all
had a good laugh. or course when !
wrote him had no idea OF going TO
California or OF ever meeting so i'm

RoosexeIt,s Popularity.

That the popularity of Theodore
Roosevelt is waning or that his ad-
mirers have abandoned the hope of
again seeing him in the White House
seemingly was disproved when the g.
500 diners at the Lincoln day banquet
of the National Progressive Club. at
the Hotel Astor in New York City.
went wild at the mere mention of his
name. Bainbridge Colby in an address
practically placed him in nomination
for 1916, and spoke in the most lau,
datory terms of his aims and achieve
ments. The assembled multitude was
as enthusiastic as though Col. Roose-
welt were the man to be inaugurated
president on March next.
Among the speakers beside Mr..
Colby, were Col. Roosevelt. William
H. Hotchkiss, Senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge and Oscar S. Straus.

MANY PERISH IN HOTEL FIRE
The Building, Which Was An old
One, Was Mass Of Flames
Before the Firemen
Arrived.

Omaha, Neb.-Fire destroyed the
Dewey Hotel, at Thirteenth and Far
nam streets, at least score and pos
sibly more persons losing their lives.
The register of the little hostelry was
burned, and the names of those who
died in the flames probably never will
be known. Only four bodies of viz
Tins have been recovered. These
were of persons who either jumped
from windows or who died from ex-
posure or injuries.
The fire occurred at an hour when
few persons were in the vicinity, and
the interior of the building, which
was an old one, was a mass of flames
before the firemen arrived. Not less
than so persons were sleeping in the
building and estimates run as high
as rs. At least 80 are known to have
escaped. Many of them were scantily
clad and they were taken either to
the Emergency Hospital or to hotels.
About third of the guests were Ne
braskans who had come to the city
to attend the automobile show. Most
of them had rooms near the two exits
and, so far as known, all escaped to
the street.
Owing to the inflammable nature of
the structure, the heat was intense
and the firemen did not get the flames
under control for several hours, when
the interior had collapsed and fallen
into the basement Here, beneath
hundreds of tons of debris, lie the
bodies Of the victims, and 1t may
require two days to remove them from
the death cellar. Until this debris
has beeH removed the number of dead
will not be known.

PUBLIC PAID FOR INCREASE
Hard Coal Companies Increased
Wages $4,000, o,ooo--Price OF Anthra-
cite To Consumers Was In
creased $13,45o,ooo.

Washington.-Har coal companies
increased the wages Of their employees
$4,000,000 year by the strike agree
ment OF last May and increased the
price of anthracite to consumers $13,-
100000, according to report based on
an investigation by the Bureau of La
bor, submitted to the House
The report is the result of an in
vestigation conducted in response to
a House resolution asking for the
elements of cost and profit included
in the present high price of anthra-
cite"
An average increase of 26 cents a
ton in wholesale coal prices was dis
covered to have been made since the
strike agreement of last May. In
spite of the fact that the workers
benefited about $4,000, 900 in increased

panies, of whom there are at least
several whose costs of production
either decreased or remained station
airy during the same period"
Coal for domestic use increased a
fraction over 81 cents ton, that on
pea coal and the smaller steam sizes
16 cents ton. These figures were
based on comparison of net receipts
by the operators after the agreement
of May last with their receipts dur
ing the same months, June to Septem
ber, 1911. OF the more than $4,000,
900 gained by the operators after the
strike agreement, $10,9O0,OO0 was de
rived from general increase in prices
and about $2,550,00O from the sus
pension of April and May dis counts
while in addition limited number OF
operators are reported to have "re
ceived very large sums through the
sale of coal at premiums made pos
sible by the shortage of shipments
incident to the strike.

MANY WOMEN IN
SUFFRAGE PARADE.
Marchers Jeered and Insulted
by Washington Mobs.
100000 ON THE STREETS.
Women Paraders Compelled To Fight
Their Way Almost Every Step.
Troops From Fort Myer
Summoned.

Washington.-It is estimated that
5000 women marched in the suffrage
parade and that 100000 persons looked
on. Women of national prominence,
social leaders, wage-workers, students
and representatives Of all female voca-
tions turned out.
The police arrangements proved to
be SO imperfect that the paraders
were almost completely at the mercy
of uncomfortable mobs, who jeered,
hurled insults, stopped the progress of
the line and repeatedly broke it up
into small detachments.
Soldiers from Fort Myer had to be
summoned to restore a measure of
order; militiamen being also called on
to give protection from the unruly
element.
Students from the Maryland Agri-
cultural College rendered valiant serv-
Ice as a guard.
Suffrage paraders felt so outraged
as to shed tears, and the demonstra-
tion In behalf of votes for women, held
after the procession, was turned into
an indignation meeting, at which the
police were roundly scored and a
resolution was adopted calling on
President-elect Wilson to demand of
Congress a thorough investigation.
The women, trudging stoutly along
under great difficulties, were able to
complete their march only when
troops OF cavalry from Fort Myer
were rushed into the city to take
charge ofNPennsylvania avenue. No
inauguration has ever produced such
scenes which in many instances
aHounted TO thing les than riots

success, the parade also being voted
most impressive spectacle.
Probably the greatest applause was
showered upon General" Jones, the
commander of the "Army of the Hud-
son." which was disbanded after the
pageant
