Time Afternoon. Mayor Carl 11. Keller, of Toledo, was tho nrst to arrive. Ho has a strong personality and he means business.

"Boys," ho said, "I'll tell you of a llttlo war wo have been having all to our own In Toledo. It's war on tho traffic Just plain ovcry day street railway traffic. For seven montliB-tlio people of Toledo rodo freo on tho street 'cars." going some for Toledo. Mayor Mltchel, of New York, wore a light suit, light both In color nnd weight, and no overcoat. Tho, youngest Mayor certainly proved favorite with tho both old nnd young.

They turned i lout In lnrge numbers to hear him Bpeak Vt WItherspoon Hall. "He's so good to Ws wife," ono of tho fair sex was heard to say. "How did you llko Wlthcrspoon Hall?" ono Mayor had naked another. "Don't know her," camo tho reply. "Where Is sho playing?" Deleted by the censor Mayor of Mayor of Mayor of and a few others discussed at tho hotel bar.

Mayor Blankcnburg's double attracted a. good deal of attention as ha sauntered through tho lobby and down "Peacock alley." Ho Is C. .1. Kclm, Burgess of Catasaun.ua, Pa. The rcsem-blnnco Is striking, especially at first glance.

Mr. Kelm also has a slight German accent. Louts D. Brnndcls registered nt the University Club. Mnny of tho visiting Mayors spent tho afternoon there.

There are BoVeral hundred delegates at tho confer- dice. Tho mnjorlty are at the Bcllcvuo. Mayor Charles II. Ellis, of Camden, was late. Ho said ho had good excuse, namely, tho trolley service In Camden, or the Public Service Corporation.

"Wo certainly havo a nervy Public Service Corporation nt homo," ho said. "I havo coine hero to learn how to unnerve It." "Traction Director Tabor's report on rapid transit Is the finest work of Its kind I ever read," said Alfred Bettman. former City Solicitor of Cincinnati, who Is attending tho conference. "Cincinnati Is about to spend J10.000.QOO on rapid transit, and wo hope to learn a lot here." All MnjorB look nllke to the bell boys- thai all but Mayor so called by one of the Montreal delegates. vThe bell "hops" certainly had a buiy ony.

Standing In line to register was quite the thing. Something like election dny. "I am stopping here, at least I hope I Btni" ono Mnynr was heard to Bay. He had somo difficulty In getting a room. Mayor Oscar B.

Marx, of Detroit, was willing to discuss anything but tho war. Tho corncob plpo Is tho latest at tho Bcltovuo. T. S. Scnnlou, Commissioner of Finance of Huntington County, believes In comfort.

Ho prefers the corncob to perfectocs, nnd acted accordingly. Said the Mayor of North to the Mayor of South "it's a long time-since we saw anything like this. We don't know rbul and not a soul knows us. Home was never like this." "You bet," came Iho reply. "If we had a 'Peacock alley nt home we'd charge admission." Harvey S.

Chase, representing the Bos ton City Club nt the conference, was tho only delegate. "This seems like old Utiles," said, as he gleefully rubbed his hands. "I don't quite got 3 on," tlii inquisitive one ventured, nnd asked, "What old times?" "World's setles1 times, of course." Mayor T. W. Kevin, of Easton, looked quite "natty" In a neat gray suit nnd "top" lint Mayor Kevin said Mnyor Ulnnkcnburg acted with wisdom nnd tact In cnlltug down the suffragist who upbraided him.

"Wo haven't nny suffragists up r.ur way," Mnyor Nnvln said, "but wo have a fine college, won't say that's the reason." It was somo Job to find the Mayors. Members attending the American investment Bankers' Association woro badgei, and In tho early afternoon they wcro stopped on several occasions and mlstnkcn for Mnyors. Mayor Wallace a. Kjc. of Minneapolis, snld ho wts elected because he was a relative of tho famous "Bllt" Nye.

Ho spent yesterday morning nt Vn'lley Forge. According to Mayor Nye, Minneapolis has "some line" street car service. Mnyor George N. Soger, of Passnlc, N. said Philadelphia trnfllc regulations were tho best "ever" nnd that tho policemen were among the finest W.
