4 WOMEN, WOMEN, LOVELY WOMEN-EVERYWHERE Mere Man Is Relegated to the Dark Corners or the Sidewalk The capture of San Francisco by the clubwomen of America is an accomplished fact. The siege that began last week when the vanguard of the general federation army swept down upon the city resulted in complete capitulation yesterday when the last of the big delegations poured into Market street from the ferry and coast line depots iinc took possession of the entire town. Mere man had no place in the scheme of things around the principal hote.s yesterday. His particular loafing places and his favorite arm chairs in the various lobbies have been usurped, and he bids fair to remain a rank outsider for two weeks to come. There wasn't a single corner in the Palace court or corridors where a man might sit down with a few favorite cronies to discuss calmly the political issues at stake in Baltimore, to dilate upon the enormity of what happened last week in Chicago or to settle any other affairs of state.

The St. Francis lobbies were closed to him, also, by reason of the awe-inspiring number of beribboned and badge-bedecked women who thronged them, and if he wished to Fmoke he must perforce betake himself to the sidewalk. MALE OF SPECIES PHILOSOPHIC The same state of affairs prevailed in the smaller hotels of the downtown district. The male of the species found himself relegated gently but unquestionably from the haunts that he has long looked upon as his own, and was left to make the best of it as he might see fit. To the credit of the men of San Francisco, history will record that they took their banishment in good grace and that most of them, after one look, grinned and then retreated.

The eleventh biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's which will open formally today, end will continue through July 5, gives every promise of being a record breaker. The credentials committee has made no report as yet upon the number of thousands of visitors now in San Francisco, but visual evidence attests the fact that the convention that has attracted them is to be an affair of ro mean magnitude from the standpoint of attendance. HOTEL XAVIGATIOX DIFFICULT The "biennial special," that arrived yesterday morning, brought the Ohio delegation and eastern officials of the federation to the number of nearly 100, and early in the afternoon the "Illinois federation special train de luxe" from Chicago brought 150 Illinois delegates and guests, the largest single delegation of any that has arrived. Then the throng around the headquarters at the Palace became a crush, and it took skill and determination to plan out and accomplish a trip from the main court of the hotel to the committee rooms in the south corridor and return. The arrival of the two eastern specials the main event of the day, for they brought many prominent clubwomen who are expected to take leading parts in the work of the convention.

With their coming politics, which had been kept under more or less successful refrigeration until yesterday, began to simmer. The boiling point hasn't been reached yet and there are no indications that the gathering will develop any close family resemblance to last week's republican national convention in Chicago, but still it isn't all going to be serene and colorless. Mrs. Philip Carpenter of New York and Mrs. Percy V.

Pennybacker of the rival candidates for presidential honors of the general federation, may be perfectly willing to present their riaims and lay their ambitions at the feet of the convention for selection without injecting themselves into the bitterness of an active campaign, but each of them appears to be blessed with hundred friends and supporters are not onf- bit averse to getting down to cold facts in regard to I relative merits. rF.MIMXE ELECTIONEERING committees met every incoming delegation and opened full Tories of arguments any unnec- skirmishing. It was Mrs. Carpenter this or Mrs. Pennybaoker that from the moment the newcomers set foot in San Francisco.

The approved method of persuasion is to Is to pay. to grasp a delegate firmly by and to open the conversation with a remark: My dear, there's only one possible, logical, acceptable, deserving candidate for president of this federation, and is Mrs. Then follow the 57 varieties of reasons. This may not a political campaign, but It has a mighty familiar favor of some kind. was prepared yesterday to predict the outcome of the presidential situation, but every one was ready to express a preference.

The Ohio delegation is said to be all lined up for "Mrs. Carpenter and will back the New Tork contingent from start, to finish in her favor. On the other hand, members of the Illinois delegation asserted that eat of the mo or more votes that' 1t will have in the convention all but two or three win be cast solid for the candidate from the Lone. Star state. TOPICS SLATED FOR ACTTOV Illinois, however, has an ax of its own to grind in the convention, and that is to secure the biennial gathering in ISI 4 for Chicago.

The delegation started right In boosting and pinning blue "Chicago, 1914" ribbons on ell romers the mimite they arrived Incidentally Philadelphia. Washington and Manila are each prepared to prove their claims for 1914. The subject of uniform marriage and divorce laws is one of the chief topics to come before the convention and there Ik trouble in sight over the question of indorsing or denouncing the Owens bill providing for a federal health bureau. The, matter of equal suffrage is not on the formal convention calendar, but there isn't a doubt in the world that it is going to arise in the form of a resolution to be presented several days before the conclusion of the session, and that merry warfare will result. MoADIE KEPT OUT OF SIGHT All of these matters were informally discussed around the lobbies yesterday.

Other topics of conversation were confined to compliments upon the hospitality of a real California welcome and to weather. The one man in all San I'rancisco who probably feared most to maJce himself known to the clubwomen rday was A. G. McAdie, chief of the weather shop. He would have lust about as popular as a mouse at a tea party.

eastern delegates were particularly directed to leave umbrellas and goloshes at home, because "it never in San Francisco in June." Then same delegates sloshed around all day Sunday and part of yesterday morning Through rivulets and puddles, and by the time a lot of finery had been ruinod and the owners had gone and purchased new umbrellas the rain stopped and the sun began to flirt with the visitors. Last night the delegates had their first, real taste of convention hospitality at the orchestral concert in the Pavilion rink, for never was a convention hall tastefully and elaborately decorated the big auditorium, whjch they saw for the first time under the soft glow from more than 1.000 Japanese lanterns. Mrs. Mary Bates Mc- Lellan was the genius under whose directing hand the huge, barnlike structure in Sutter street was converted into a marvel of beauty, and the magic she wrought was greeted with many "Ohs" and "Ahs" of appreciation. SYMBOLIC DECORATIONS The Pavilion has been decorated to suggest California's wealth and variety.

Around the khaki covered walls are framed pictures of California scenes, each surrounded with characteristic decoration of flowers or foliage from the section pictured. There are Shasta daisies from the north, cactus from the Mission el Solano in Sonoma county, giant pine cones from El Dorado, redwood from the forests of the Sierras, palma and huckleberry from the interior, kelp and seaweed and shells from the coast and oranges and lemons and mae-nolias from the south. Festoonea above all are ropes of fir and redwood foliage, the tHusands of lanterns and groups of flags. There are Indian rooms, oriental roms. restrooms, telegraph offices, wraproomsanda postoffice in the lobby, and in the main hall are seats for 4.000 persons on the main floor and another 250 on the spacious stage.

The Chicago delegation that arrived yesterday was captained by Mrs. Minne Starr Grainger, president of the Illinois federation, and was under the traveling direction of Miss Kate F. O'Connor, chairman of the Illinois transportation committee. Mrs. George Bass, president of the Chicago Women's club, the largest women's club in the United States, was one of the leaders on the special There were also four women physicians on the Illinois train de luxe, Dr.

Alice Barlow-Brown of Winnetka, Dr. Mary G. McEwen of Evanston. Dr. Rachelle Yarros of Hull House, Chicago, and Dr, Violet Palmer Brown of Kankakee.

THREE MEX "With the exception of conductors, engineers and other train officials, there were only three men on the Illinois train. They were "vV. F. Hayaen, Charles Griffin and R. Pennington, all of Chicago, who accompanied rneir wives.

Other notables in the Illinois delegation include Mrs. Frances Squire Potter of Chicago, Dr. Cornelia B. de Bey of Chicago, Mrs. John 11.

Yolk of Chicago, Mrs. Frederick A. Dow of Chicago, Mrs. Charles E. Hull of Salem, Mrs.

John C. Hessler of Decatur, Mrs. Francis D. Everett of Highland Park and Mtss Helen Bennett of Chicago. Mrs.

T. .1. Gist, state president of Nebraska, and Mrs. Lucy White Williams, state president of Michigan, were among yesterdays arrivals. Delegations from a number of states, including Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Minnesota and others, arrived a few at a time yesterday, the complete delegations not being expected in until today.

A HOTEL IV EAR-TRAGEDY Utah's delegation of -2, members arrived in the wee sma' hours yesterday morning, much to the surprise of the night clerk at the Hotel Colonial, who had not been told of any reservations I for these guests. After some- trouble, accommodations were arranged for the rest of the night. Tn the morning it appeared that a suite had been waiting for them all the time, but that the rhaneger had been told by the railroad that the train was delayed and the delegates were not due until 6 o'clock in the morning. Naturally the night clerk was not told of guests expected before that hour, and the arrival of the train several hours nearer to-schedule than had been looked for caused some confusion. Mrs.

C. H. McMahon of Salt Trnke City, a director of the general federation, and chairman of the program committee for the convention, came in on the directors' special train instead of with the state delegation. She will make an address of welcome on behalf of the lnterrnountain states this morning. Mrs.

A. J. Gorham of Salt Lake City is the president of the state federation, while Mrs. J. T.

Beless, also of Salt Lake, is the state organizer. Mrs. Elizabeth Coray of the same ftfty will deliver an address during the course of the convention. THE WESTERN EDISOX Mrs. Ada Van Pelt, a delegate -from the Ebell club of Los Angeles, and called by the magazines the "western Edison" on account of the number of inventions she has made, arrived yesterday at the Palace hotel.

She is a former resident of the bay cities, having been editress of the Pacific Ensign in San Francisco for six She was also president of the Oakland Red Cross for a time, and was presented with a red cross set with rubies by the First Tennessee regiment on their return from the Philippines. Her latest invention is an electrical device, for purifying water, said to be remarkable for its simplicity. BAY STATERS ARRIVE The Massachusetts and Rhode Tsland delegations arrived last evening on a late train and took apartments at the St. Francis. There are.

54 the Bay State delegation, representing 238 clubs and 233,000 women. Many women prominent in club life in the state are in the delegation, notably Mrs. Henry CoolidgA Mulligan, president of the state federation; Mrs. Emmons Crocker, vice president and chairman of the national conservation committee; Mrs. George A.

Rlocomb. retiring- president of the Worcester chapter: Mrs. C. Pennock, chairman of the state bureau of Information; Mrs. Lillian Folger, state chairman of the health department, and Mrs.

Ella C. Whiton, vice president. The Rhode Island delegation Is small, hut. according to Mrs. Maude E.

Rider, hopes to create quite an impression on the convention. It Is made up of Mrs. George H. Fowler, past president of the state federation; Mrs. Edward K.

I Aldrich, Thomas W. Aldrich and Mrs. 1 E. Rider, who is a paper woman, representing the Provii dence Tribune. The Rhode Island delegation represents a club force of about 3,000 women.

I With the Massachusetts delegation they intend to hold open receptions at the I St. Francis during the period of the convention. The delegates reported that they had had a most pleasant trip and looked forward to a pleasant and busy stay in the exposition city. ENGLAND WILL PAY $25,000,000 OF DEBT LONDON, David Lloyd- George, chancellor of the exchequer, confirmed in the house of commons toriay rumors that he proposed to devote of the surplus of $32,500,000 to the reduction of the national debt The rumors had led to an improvement in the price of consols on the market.

Automobiles Needed for Federation Jaunt About City Continued From Page 1 of Mills college. In consequence, the members of the Mills club of this city are working with their best efforts to make California solid for her. Several of the middle western states are strongly in favor of Mrs. Pennybacker, It is understood, and the final vote will probably be needed to make either one certain. There is no great excitement as yet regarding the other places on the ticket, but more than a week remains in which to fill out the list of general federation officers.

Mrs. L. Blankenburg of Philadelphia, now the second vice president, is mentioned as the most prominent candidate for the first vice presidency, although it is.whispered that the Ohio delegation is going to make a strong battle for Mrs. Sneath of that state as first vice president. Mrs.

Sneath has never held a national office, and has taken little part in club politics save in her own state, where she is extremely well known and popular. Mrs. Eugene Reilley of North Carolina, one of the directors of the present board, is mentioned for the second vice presidency or for the position of corresponding secretary, and Mrs. Harry Kecfe of Nebraska, also a member of the board, is said to be a strong candidate for the recording secretaryship. Mrs.

John Threadgill of Oklahoma, who is treasurer, and Mrs. Frank White of North Dakota, now national auditor, are both eligible for re-election and probably will be named again for their respective offices. Both are extremely popular. The office of treasurer la a particularly hard one to fill, and Mrs. Threadgill has proved especially capable and businesslike.

Mrs. Elmer Blair of New York, a director, of necessity will be left off the ticket this time, Mrs. Carpenter's candidacy precluding any possibility of her re-election, as there may not be two from the same state on the board. Mrs. John A.

Nash of lowa is eligible for re-election to the board of directors, but It is announced that she will not accept office again under any circumstances, on amount of the serious Illness of her daughter. NOMINATING METHODS Mrs. McMahon of Utah, Mrs. Mathewes of Louisiana, Mrs. Breckenridge of Kentucky and Mrs.

Bailey of Massachusetts are all eligible for re-election as directors, and it is understood that their states will make a vigorous demand for them to succeed themselves. The method of nomination of the general ticket is rather out of the ordlf nary, as there are 48 members of the nominating committee. Each state elects one of its delegation as a rnemmer of the committee and they meet and thrash out the matter of the nomination of the entire ticket. It was decided in tho meeting of the board of directors yesterday morning that the of business of the official program would be changed a trifle and the report of the nominating would come later than o'clock "Wednesday morning, July It will be made some time during that morning, however. A KAFFEE KIJITSCH SESSION Tuesday, July 2.

will be particularly full of good things, and none of the, committee wants to miss anything. It has been decided, therefore, that they meet at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, July 3. prohably at the Hotel Normandie, to transact the important business of making up the ticket. Tt will not be quite so bad ac it sounds, however, as breakfast ie to be served to the 48 at 7:30 o'clock, and over their coffee and toast they will say who is to be who. They can not settle it positively, however.

They bring in the name of one candidate for each office as their choice; but nominations are made from the floor as well, immediately after the reading of the report. That is when the excitement begins for the whole body of delegates. The election of the choice of the nominating committee is by no means an assured thing, Mrs. Moore, who now holds the office of president, having been named from the floor. HOSTESS STATE BARRED There are a.

vast number of regrets expressed at the refusal of Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles. first vice president, to appear as a candidate for the presidency. She was the logical candidate for the Office, and was most popular; but when California won the contest for the biennial convention she at once said positively that she would under no conditions accept the nomination. It is acalnst biennial precedent to elect the in fact any officer the hostess state, and although there were those insistent that she depart from precedent, Mrs.

Cowlea was ptrong in her self sacrifice and positively refused to permit her name to be put up. The only official action of the general federation yesterday was the holding of an all day session of the board of directors. During the morning reports were heard and communications discussed, while in the afternoon the resolutions to be offered were considered and discussed at great length. OFFICIAL ORGAN DISCUSSED Mrs. Shiek, e.oresponding secretary, reported had received a large number of requests from physicians.

No Place in Hoteldom for the Male of Species to Sit And Smoke scientists and presidents of national and international societies that they be supplied with the printed volume of the full report of the biennial, which is to be issued as soon as possible the close of the convention. Requests also have been received from several magazines, asking that they be permitted to establish regular club departments in their publications, to be officially recognized by the federation, and that members of the organization be appointed to supply This matter was left for the new board to decide. HEADQUARTERS OF DELEGATES Nothing was told of the resolutions discussed, as that is held to be secret matter until it comes before the general body of the federation. A new list of official headquarters was prepared yesterday by the states' headquarters committee, of which Miss Kathrryn L. Cole is chairman, as follows: Rmaau-EI Sundsy school building.

The Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution will, give a reception in honor of the visiting daughters on the afternoon of July 4 in the ballroom of the Palace, which promises to be one of the most enjoyable events of the convention. Today the Pacific Coast Women's Press association will give a luncheon at the Cliff house in honor of the visiting press women of the country. Mrs.

P. N. Moore, the general federation president, and many other prominent members of the federation have heen invited, and it is expected that about 125 guests will be present. Mrs. I.

Lowenberg, president of the association, asks all press women who have been invited to meet at the Palace hotel at 11:45 this morning and from there they will be taken in automobiles to the Cliff house. The credentials committee, which met all day yesterday at the Palace hotel, will meet there again today instead of at Golden Gate eomjnandery hall, as was orginally announced. AUTOMOBILES ARB WANTED A committee composed of Mrs. Galllard Stoney, Mrs. Ernest Simpson and Miss Helen Wheeler is actively engaged in obtaining automobiles for the trip over the Rite which they are tendering the delegates to the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs on the afternoons of Saturday, June 29.

and Monday, July 1. between the hours of 4 and 6 o'clock. Thus far Mrs. Phebe Hearst has volunteered the use oft two of her machines, and also has engaged two sipht seeing cars for both days. Machines have also been volunteered by Mrs.

It Is planned to take 1.500 delegates over the exposition site on each day. Machines are to start from the Palace hotel at 4 o'clock and will return at 6. All offers of machines should be sent to the information bureau of the Exposition building. I EIRST CONCERT IS ORCHESTRAL The series of concerts, which promise to be one of the moat delightful fea tures of the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's Clubs now meeting in this city, was begun I last evening in the Pavilion, Sutter and Pierce streets.

It was orchestral night, and Herman Perlet's musicians occupied the plat form, giving a program of selections fraught with originality and beauty I The director presented his own com I position "Mount Tamalpais," a I tone poem based upon a melody of the I Lake county Indians. Never has the big Tink presented so tasteful an appearance, a bower of palms and pine boughs beneath myriads of Chinese lanterns, lending a soft, restful glow of Illumination. The program in full was as follows: Overture "Midsummer Night's Mendelssohn Andante from minor (tragic) Schubert (string orchestra) Perlet Tooe poem, "Mount Tamalpais" (by requests (This work la based upon a melody of the Lake county Indians.) "Spinning Song" Mendelssohn Valse. Sibelius "Tannbauser" Wagner This evening the Sierra mixed quartet, consisting of Zllpha Ruggles Jenkins, soprano; Ruth Waterman Anderson, contralto; Carl Edwin Anderson, tenor; Lowell M. Redfleld, barytone, and Mabel Hill Redfield, accompanist, will give a program of songs.

These concerts will continue throughout the period of the convention. Illinois Clubs at Sacramento Dispatch ia The SACRAMENTO, June special train bearing the Illinois delegation to the General Federation of Women's clubs arrived in Sacramento this morning at 10 o'clock. Local clubwomen gave the visitors a royal welcome for the half hour spent here. The special was filled with flowers and friiit contributions from local florists and fruit men. Owing to the short time spent here no elaborate program was planned, some points of interest.

There is but one piano today which clings unswervingly to the highest ideals of artistic piano but one piano which has never sought to enhance its position commercially by the building of miniature grand pianos to meet the competition of low price, nor felt the necessity of installing the piano player in its instruments in order to maintain the market for its product. The Piano is the one perfect piano of one piano which meets, unfailingly, every demand, satisfies the most critical musicians, arouses the enthusiastic admiration of the most exacting critics; which, by the nobility, resonance and majestic quality in its tone, is winning new admirers, making new converts, building a home in the hearts of lovers of the truly artistic, and has created a demand that is the marvel of the music trades. i Mason Hamlin pianos invite severest comparison, yet recognize no competition. Because they are better made, embodying in their construction the finest materials obtainable, and because of their patented features, Mason Hamlin Pianos cost more than other pianos, yet, so superior is their quality, so perfect their architectural design, so beautiful their finish, that the additional cost is doubly justified. All styles of Mason Hamlin Pianos are shown at our stores, and are sold on easy payments, when desired.
