Washington. - President Wilson
pushed a button at o'clock Saturday
afternoon giving an electric signal
which formally opened the Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco
The fash was conveyed from the
White House to San Francisco both by
telegraph and wireless. President
Moore Of the Exposition Immediately
sent back word that the flash had
come through and that the Exposition
was formally opened.
The President used a telegraph key
studded with gold nuggets which was
ased by President Taft in opening the
Alaskan Yukon Exposition Present at
The ceremony were Secretaries Bryan,
McAdoo, Houston, Wilson and Daniels,
Attorney General Gregory, Assistant
Secretary OF the Navy Roosevelt, Sen

Not having seen Mrs Scoville for q
half-hour without her veil. her inflI-

he began to regret that he had laid
himself open to this humiliation.
She saw that it would be left for her
to wind up the interview and get out
of the place without arousing too
much much attention. With self
possession which astonished both men,
knowing her immense interest in this
matter she laid down the stick, and.

wireless station at Tuckerton. N. ].
Instantly powerful electric waves
leaped out across the continent
A fraction of second later they
were received on aerials strung from
the Tower of Jewels in the Exposition
grounds. Another relay instrument
transmitted them to apparatus which
swung open the doors of the Palace of
Machinery, unloosed the waters Of the
Fountain of Energy and detonated sig
nal bombs in token Of receipt.
All Attendance Records Broken.
AL records for Exposition frst-day
attendance were broken.
BY 4 o'clock the turnstiles had
clicked of 225.00O admissions. and it
was expected that by midnight the
total would have reached more than
100000. The previous record was at
the opening day of the St. Louis
Worlds Fair. 17645S. in 1904
The crowd was spectacle in itself.

she impulsively raised her head and
beckoning the two men nearer she
directed attention to splintered por-

what they saw there.

sergeant. The marks you are look
ing for are higher up"
And you. Mr. Black?"
He saw nothing either but stick. But
he was little less abrupt in his answer
DO you mean those roughnesses? ?"
he asked. That's where the stick
was whitfield. You remember that he
had been whiting at the stick"
"Who?''
The word shot from her lips so vi
olently that for a moment both men
looked staggered by it. Then Mr..
Black, with unaccustomed forbear-
ance. answered gently enough:
Why, Scoville, madam; or so the
prosecution congratulated itself upon
having proved to the jury's satisfac-
tion. 1t did not tally with Scoville's
story or with common sense know.

Il don't know what you mean" The
sergeant looked puzzled. Perhaps, his
eyesight was not very keen.
"Haye you magnifying glass?
There is something embedded in this
wood. Try and find out what it is."
The sergeant, with a queer look at
Mr.. Black. who returned it 18th inter-
