Are Relied Upon.
NO APPEAL MADE TO
UEASOXS SENTIMENTAL
K. I. Halo Doclurcs City by Uio Gold
en Gnto Has the Money and the En
ergy to Make Affair Successful
San Francisco Hus Ability to Enter-
tain All Visitors.
Washington, Jan. 30. In his offi
cial capacity as acting president of
the Panama-Pacific International ex
position, R. B. Hale, of San Francis
co, today prepared a statement for
the United Press on the fight before
congress as follows:
Mr. Halo's Statement.
San Francisco, In Its fight for the
exposition, Is relying entirely on facts.
It Is making no appeal to sentiment,
nor is It drawing political or party
lines. The campaign for recognition by
congress has become a personal one
and day by duy the facts in the case
are being prsented to those members
who have open mlnas and who are
ready and willing to decide on the ac
tual evidence.
The factors in the case are many.
Ban Francisco expects recognition for
several reasons. It has the money
and the energy with which to make a
success of the exppositlon an exposi
tion which will reflect not only the
pride of the Pacific coast in one of the
world's greatest achievements, but
the pride of the whole people of the
United States.
The campaign has been carried on
by the San Francisco delegation on an
extremely high plane. Everything has
been open anj above board. There
has be-n no trickery attempted, and
no votes sought except on the ground
thai San Francisco from every point
of view, and for every reason, Is the
logical place to celebrate the opening
of the Panama canal.
Fact after fact has been presented
clearly and tersely, and little by little
the significance of the situation has
appealed even to the men who had ex
pressed their indifference early In tho
fight.
Business Viewpoint Urged.
From a business point of view there
Is no gainsaying the statements and
assertions of the promoters of San
Francisco's Interests. Congresnun
havu been asked merely to consider
tho proposition from a business point
of view, but every congressman has
also been impressed with the fact that
the man or woman who went to Cali
fornia to see the great Panama ex
position would find in the state Itse'.f
many things of greater Interest, of
greater beauty, and of greater Bttrac
Hon than would be contained in the
white city of the exposition Itself.
There has been noticeable In the
past tew days, a steady drift In the
houso of representatives toward San
Francisco. This has been due to' the
continued and continuous work of the
delegates, both In congress and out,
who have presented the situation
from tho point of view not only of the
people of California but of the gov'
eminent Itself.
'Frisco Hns Ability. '
It Is generally admitted that there
Is no doubt whatever of the ability
of San Francisco to hold an expc.:l
tlon which would be unique, success
ful, both from a financial and artistic
viewpoint.
San Francisco wants no government
Bid, recognizing the fact that the fed
eral government time and again has
been drawn Into expositions and then
compelled to foot the bills. It does

prosperous in the history of Cuba.
Many reports to the contrary have
been circulated in the United States

another Inlervenatlon, but they are :
baseless.

Wilson have also accepted invitations
to speak. Other cabinet ministers,

supplied by the members themselves,
that February 26 was given as his
birth date. In a life insurance policy,
however, McKinley's birthday is set
down as January 29, and it is believed

LARGE CELEBRATION
IN ENGLAND SOON

celebrations to be held this year. This

first Stuart sovereign of Great Brit
ain, but it Is denied that it was cre
ated to provide the British Solomon
with money. The celebration Is a fun
ction in which the public generally
will feel but little interest, but on the
other hands, those most interestej
are preparing to celebrate the occas
ion with befitting solemnity, for the
baronets, of which there are alto
gether over 1200, are very proud of
their order and have recently taken
steps to clear Its ranks of unlawful
intruders.
WU TING FANG HAS
HIS QUEUE CUT OFF
In China today Mr. Wu Ting Fang
may his tribe Increase will visit a
barber to sacrifice his queue on the
altar of progress, and his example Is
being followed today by scores of
Chinese In New York. The queueless
Chinaman, not long ago the exception,
will soon be all but universal. Rl
ready the great shearing has had its
effect upon the rat and puff market,
and dealers in human hair are begin
ning to view with alarm the great
slump that Is bound to follow today's
big shearing.
Originally Imposed upon them by
their Manchu conquerors as a mark
of servitude, the Chinese in the course
of time came to consider the queue a
badge of honor, without which a Chi
naman was distinctly "in bad" with
his fellows. The passing of the queue
heralds a psychological change, in
volving an acceptance of the civiliza
tion of the whites, which may even
tually make China the ruling power
of the world. At least, so say the stu
dents of oriental conditions.
