EAGLE VISITORS
LOATH TO LEAVE
GOOD TIME CITY
Linger in San Francisco After
Convention Closes and
Boost Hospitality
Even a Whale Contributes to
Their Pleasure at Half
Moon Bay Barbecue
The formalities of the ; thirteenth
grand aerie convention of the Frater
nal Order of Eagles finally disposed of,
the: delegates and grand officers, who
have been working hard In hall and
committee room, yesterday gave them
selves over "to the enjoyment of San
Francisco and its environs. , Large
crowds.spent the day at Halfmoon Bay,
attending a barbecue arranged by the
entertainment committee, while still
others, loath to leave the city,, though
their work be finished, visited the
stores and parks, scattering every
where the universal good will of the
fraternity spirit.
In the evening a banquet was given
at the St. Francis hotel by the local
committee to the new and old sets of
grand officers, and again the mutual
feelings of gratitude and friendship
were expressed by speakers represent
ing the city and the order. The wives
and daughters were represented at this
final affair and were formally thanked
for the part they have played in mak
ing the convention a success.
FAVORS THIRD AERIE
Many of the officers, including Grand
Worthy President Frank E. Hering of
Indiana, will remain in San Francisco
several days on business or pleasure,
or • both. Hering announced last' night
that plans are being made for the
establishment of a third aerie in San
Francisco under the terms of the new
constitutional amendment, and he"- will
stay ■to make final arrangements.
Hering favors another branch of the
order here, he says, because both the
San Francisco and Golden Gate aeries
are large and the order is best served
by smaller groups.
" It* was announced last night that
practically the same committees that
served. the grand aerie during the last
year would-have charge of its business
again. Grand President Hering has
reappointed Thomas J. Cogan of Cin
cinnati as head of the judiciary, com
mittee. Earl Rogers of Los Angeles as
chairman of the committee on griev
ances and appeals, and Theodore A.
Bell of San Francisco, a past grand
president, as chairman of the important
body J known as the committee on the
state of the order. .-.'.:'.*".«
ALL BOOSTERS FOR FAIR *
The convention has not been without
immense value to San Francisco' and
the exposition project of 1915. Praise
is heard on every side for the manner
in which the eastern visitors were re
ceived and . entertained, and every
Eagle returns home filled with Cali
fornia enthusiasm % and a wholesome
ambition to boost- for the fair. . . \f:
This sentiment is general among the
grand aerie officers and leaders, all of
whom promise their support in- their
home communities and with their state
legislatures. Grand President Hering
said last evening: „
"I am certainly, a booster for San
Francisco... I like the city and I like
the people, and I have many warm per- ;
sonal friends here. We are all going ;
back—every,;one of us—to work in aid I
of the fair in 1915, As was shown last
night at the dinner given us by some
of the exposition people, the- Eagles
were instrumental in getting the fair
for San Francisco. ,We have not
changed, but we are now, more than
ever before, boosters for San Fran
cisco."
BOOST FOR THE CITY
. Thomas J. Cogan, an influential citi
zen of Cincinnati and one of the men
who dropped everything and hurried to
Washing.on last;winter' to help along
San Francisco's fight for congressional
recognition, said: -.:..,..-.
--"'I have been in San ■ Francisco a
great many times and there is no place
I more enjoy coming to. I have visited
this city both before and after the fire,
and I appreciate the spirit of its people!
"Personally I have been much inter
ested in the campaign for the fair, and
I went to Washington to do what I
could in your behalf. Our people- In
Ohio, when the time comes, will all be
with you, and our legislature " will be
liberal, as always., San Francisco need
have no worries on that score. \
"This has been a remarkably suc
cessful session and, after the first two
days," has been perfectly harmonious.
We have imade some advances that
have been needed for a long time."
NO COMPLAINTS-—ALL PRAISE
Joseph H. Dowling of Dayton. 0-,
one .of the members of the board of
grand.trustees, said:
"I want to say. that it is wonderful
the way San Francisco and her people
have treated us, especially the women
in our f delegations. There were a
dozen or more women from Ohio, and
they.-tell me - that the girls in your
"stores here say "Thank you" before
you buy, and after you buy, too. *
"There's more than that. , My 18
year old boy is with me and he wants
to stay. i He has been in Portland,
Seattle and nearly every place else,
but he likes San Francisco ; and says
that if I'll give him $200 he will start
In here and go it. alone. —
"I haven't heard a complaint; against
any store, business house or - hotel
.since Tve been In nothing but
compliments. You have treated us fine
in every particular. I: am proud of
the work the Eagles did in behalf of
San Francisco last winter, and we all
go back from here as confirmed boost
ers for San Francisco * In 1915." ,
SAN FRANCISCO. AMAZES
William J. Brennan fof Pittsburg,
newly elected: grand, worthy vice presi
dent of the grand* aerie.. said:
