BOOST GIVEN TO
GREAT ENTERPRISE
Executive of Every State in the
h Union Notified of Panama-
Pacific Exposition
Promises of Hearty Co«opera*
tion and Aid Come to Com«
mittee From Every Quarter
The governor of every state in the
union has received official notice «>f
San J-'rancisco's intention to hold an
international exposition in 1913. Cor
dial responses have already come to
hand, many of them pledging co-opera
tion and others carrying assurance of
future assistance.
LETTBR TO GOVEU.VOItS
This is the form of letter addressed
to the state executives:
I have the honor to advise you
that since the year 1904 the citi
zens of the city of San Francisco
have been continuously active in
formulating plans for a great in
ternational exposition to celebrate
the completion of the Panama ca-
This work has been carried on
by an Incorporated company organ
ized in 1906 and at a very early
date a financial campaign will bo
inaugurated for the purpose of
pledging the people of San Fran
cisco in the amount of $5,000,000
for this enterprise. The plans al
ready tentatively arranged assure
the subscription of the entire
amount within six months from
date. The state legislature of Cal
ifornia will, undoubtedly, supple
ment the amount by an appropria
tion of $2,500,000 and participation
of the counties of the state of Cal
ifornia will, in all probability,
amount to a like sum.
The first bill introduced in this
session of congress was one by our
representative. Hon. Julius Kalin,
asking for appropriation by the
congress of the United States in
the sum of $5,000,000 for govern
ment participation.
The Panama canal having cost
the United States some $400,000,
000, it is considered most fiting that
upon its completion the people of
this country should celebrate this,
the greatest material achievement
of the history of nations, by an ade
quate demonstration.
Other maritime and commercial
nations of the world, which will
profit by this great expenditure on
the part of our government, with
out any arbitrary toll in favor of
the United States as against their
own commerce, will, undoubtedly,
recognize the obligations of inter
national courtesy and participate
in this celebration as they have
never participated before in any
celebration held in this country.
As soon as our city is finally
pledged to the financial support of
the exposition, both yourself and
the members of the legislature of
your state, will be memorialized
wUh the idea of enlisting your in
terest and co-operatton in the
holding of this international ex
positon to the extent of your lib
eral participation.
Commercially considered the ex
position will be most valuable to
the industries and productions of
your state in that it will, by its
magnitude and its location in the
nearest large port to the rapidly
developing and promising traffic of
the far east, call these wares and
resources to the attention of mil
lions of consumers whose trade de
mands them and will be the means
of materially adding to the pros
perity of the citizens of your state
as well as those of the entire Unit
ed States.
Will you kindly accept this let
ter as a definite announcement on
the part of tiie people of San
Francisco of their intention to hold
the Panama-Pacific international
exposition, pending further advice
from us as to details of plan and
scope, which will be duly forward
ed to you and the members of .your
legislature.
I have the honor to be, sir, your
most obedient servant,
HOMER S. KING, President.
QIICK RESPONSES MADE
Governor Frank B. Weeks of Con
necticut and Governor John H. Brady
j of Idaho were among those that offered
immediate aid. Further information
was requested by Governor B. M. Fer
nald of Maine, Governor Brooks of Wy
oming and Governor Denen of Illinois.
An indorsement from the Marysville
chamber of commerce reached the ex
position officials yesterday in the form
of the following resolution:
Resolved, that the Marysville
chamber of commerce indorses the
action of the San Francisco cham
ber of commerce in the action it
has taken toward holding the
Panama-Pacific international expo
sition in the city of San Francisco
in I'jls. or upon the completion of
the Panama canaL It is the sense
of the meeting that San Francisco's
position as the largest port on the
Pacific and its geographical loca
tion make it the proper place for
such an exposition.
Be it further resolved, that the
Marysville chamber of commerce
extend to the San Francisco cham
ber of commerce and the committee
' in charge of the Panama-Pacific
exposition all aid within its power
to the. furtherance of paid exposi
tion in the city of San Francisco.

KEIR HARDIE WANTS
TO ABOLISH LORDS
President of Labor Party Says
That Liberal Policy Is *
Not Inspiring
NEWPORT, England, Feb. 9.— ln his
address opening the tenth annual meet
ing of the independent labor party to
day. President James Keir Hardie
threw cold water on all suggestions
that the laborites in the forthcoming
parliament should be the blind follow
ers of tne government. He said:
I confidently assert, that those
who hope to see us bring about our
own undoing by entering into some
agreement or understanding with
the government are doomed to dis
appointment. At all costs and
hazards we must maintain a com
plete freedom of action both in
the house of commons and in our
constituencies. The treatment met
ed out to our candidates by th«
liberals in the recent contest was
not the kind to predispose us in
favor of any friendly relationship.
President Hardie declared that the
policy of the liberals toward the peers
as outlined did not inspire the laborites
with confidence.
He said that the policy of the labor
party remained unchanged and that
was to sweep the house of lords into
oblivion. The same unsullied Independ
ence which had produced so many labor
measures in the past must continue to
work for ends yet to be won.
Redmond Heads Nationalists
DUBLIN, Feb. 9. — John Redmond was

pate in the election. «
WANTS GUARANTEE
AGAINST GERMANY
Member of Dutch Parliament
Recalls Threat to Occupy
the Netherlands
THE HAGUE, Feb. 9.— The hereto
fore veiled reports that Emperor Wil
liam at one time threatened to occupy
Holland unless that country was placed
in a state of defense against the pos
sible descent of the English were given
a more definite form in the first cham
ber of the states general this afternoon
during a discussion of the foreign
office's estimates for the year.
Baron yon Heckeren urgently, de
manded that steps be taken to secure
a guaranty of the integrity of The
Netherlands in the event of trouble
between Germany and Great Britain,
and gave as a reason "that a neigh
boring sovereign intimated a few years
ago that he would be obliged to have
Dutch territory occupied if Holland did
not place herself in- an "adequate statt
of defense against Great Britain."
Foreign Minister Van Swinderenden
declared that he was not in a position
to refute Heckeren's assertion unless
the latter explained precisely what was
meant -by the words ."neighboring sov
ereign" and ; "intimated." He urged
Heckeren, in the interest of the coun
try, to be' more explicit. The latter,
however, had no more to say and -the
matter was dropped without further
light being shed upon iL

pear to give recognition to interference
