PANAMA-PACiFiC INTERNATIONAL

CISCO GETS THE CROWD.
NEARLY 100000 FIRST DAY

pie of All Nations There.

San Francisco.-All records for ex-
position attendance were broken Sat
urday at the opening of the Panama
Pacific International exposition. BY
O'Clock in the afternoon the turnstiles
had clicked off 225 900 admissions The
previous record was at the opening day
of the st. Louis worlds fair, 1877 1893, in
1904
The crowd was a spectacle in itself.
1t filled the grandstands, it packed
the great courts and concourses, it
poured through the aisles, it over
flowed the sidewalks into the avenues,
from the hills to the bay as far as the
eye could reach, in unending rivers of
bobbing heads
To-day is the triumph of San Fran
cisco that a decade ago lay PROSTATE
in ruins" declared Governor Johnson
looking out over the sea of humanity
before him.
San Francisco today" said Secre-
tary Lane, is the gayest city of the
globe" To prove it the crowd gave
him a titanic cheer.
AS the presidents personal envoy,
Secretary Lane was heard with the
closest attention. The great throng
gave him the sincere compliment of
absolute silence. In the more solemn
passages of his Grafton the vibrations
of his voice stirred the audience in
sympathy.
The day broke threatening and rainy
The enthusiasm of the crowd seemed
to burn away the clouds and by sun
set there was scarcely cloud in the
sky. One shower fell during the ded
licatory exercises. AS the first drops
began to patter 1000 umbrellas went
up. 1t was like the magic growth of
a field of fairy mushrooms.

nations rose on manifold poles and pin
nacles. Signal bombs were de-
tonated from towers. An aeroplane
circled about the Tower of Jewels,
| scattering doves of peace. The doors
of the Palace of Machinery swung open
and the exhibits within were seen in
motion.

Controller Refuses to Allow More
for Officers Obsequies.

There does not appear to- be a. =
valid reason why an .1cer who dies
and leaves a widow should have a
more expensive funeral at gov ornment
expense than an officer who leaves no

The controller of the Treasury. George
E Downey, setting down this opinion
ruled that If more elaborate funeral
service than can be provided for So is
desired for deceased officer of the Ma
rine Corps. the expenses in excess
should be borne by that person de-
serving the more costly obsequies. and
not by the government from public
funds

Police Officer Convicted in Rosenthal
Case Alleges New Evidence.

NEW YORK. February e5.-A motion
for new trial for Charles Becker. the
former police lieutenant, convicted for
the murder Of Herman Rosenthal. was
made in the supreme court today. Beck
er's counsel said he based his motion on
newly discovered evidence to the effect
that one of the states witnesses to a
material fact had testified falsely at
Becker's second trial.
Attached to the papers was the affi
davit OF James Marshall. made in 'Phila-
delphia recently. in which Marshall re-
pudiated a part of his testimony at the
second trial.
