Or­ San Francisco, Aug. 27.—An aggres­ sive commercial campaign to recover trade lost to the merchants of San Francisco through the alleged indiffer­ ence, neglect and lack of concerted act ion, _ was decided upon today at a meeting of the trade and commerce committee of the Merchants’ Ex­ change. Steps were taken immediately to organize a traffic bureau, with an ex­ perienced traffic manager in charge, which will be a central organization for the mercantile bodies of this city, whose object will be to see that mer chants, manufacturers, wholesalersand jobbers of San Francisco receive rail­ road and water rates that will enable them to regain the territory taken away by other cities, particularly Los Angeles. ____________ POSTPONE EXPOSITION. Japanese Public Clamoring Vast Expense. Against Tokio, Aug. 27.—The unpopularity of President Kaneko, of the Tokio ex­ position, has caused difficulties which may result in the postponement of the great exposition, which is now set for 1912. The people are clamoring against the methods of Kaneko in spending great sums of government money and the re­ ports of the postponement have been so frequent that today the minister of agriculture and commerce found it ne­ cessary to issue a formal denial. He said the exposition would be held at the time set, but even this assurance is not sufficient to quiet the reports. The strained industrial and financial situation in Japan is the matter upper­ most in the minds of most of the peo­ ple and there is a widespread feeling that the government chose a poor time to go to the enormous expense of hold­ ing the first great world’s fair in the .Orient. ________________ “And now, Cryptomeria,” said the young man, still holding her hand, but with a note of anxiety in his voice, “where shall we go for our wedding jour­ ney ?*’ “Some quiet little place in the country, not far away, Gerald,” she answered, Will Expel Undesirables. “will suit me a great deal better than a Marysville, Cal., Aug. 27.
