He told of a recent visit to Sac- | ramento, where he found the hotel ac- | commodations wretched, the Capltol’ building in decay, and almost every prospect vile. He argued that the Capi- tol building was a ruin, only compara- ble for desolation to the City Hall in San Francisco. The appropriation of $350,000 made for its renovation would hardly cover 'its case., Doul the amount was demanded and even that ‘would not serve. ¢ “Why not,” said Titus, “spend the money for a new Capitol building and then put that building where it belongs —in a center of population, a center of business, ‘accessible to all and of use to everybody?’ Continuing he said: “Why not put it in Berkeley?

Mas- | sive limousines, stately touring cars,| humble trucks and coquettish abouts stood at attention while th»‘ crowds paraded back and forth along| the spacious aisles. | The exhibition takes rank as San Francisco’s most elaborate show. There have been flower shows, dog shows and horse shows, but none has been on so| magnificent a scale as last night's ex- hibition. There was lacking only /(he living element in the exhibit, but this was largely supplied by whirling ma- | chinery, srevolving wheels and adjust- able cranks. If dogs can bark and horses can neigh, automobiles can honk. | ALL OF AMERICAN MAKE i run- | In the entire exhibition not a ma- chine honked in foreign toungfe. All spoke plain United States, some with the twang of Tarrytown, others with the precision of Massakhusetts, and one in what Gertrude Atherton styles ““na- tive Californese.” Some foreign cars will be placed on the floor before the’ end of the week, but none has yet been installed. Places have been reserved for the\ Mercedes from Germany, the Darracq from France and the Fiat from Italy. !

BIG COLISEUM CROWDED Hundreds of automobiles which had paraded the city streets drew up I front of the Coliseum doors shortly after “8 o'clock. The crowd gathered in such numbers that turnstiles were ripped out and the throng was allowed to pour in{ The great auditorium pre- sented a - magnificent scene. Stars formed of electric lights shone from a ceiling of sky blue. In the center was a2 great American flag formed of col- pred incandescents. Bunting of pale blue and great garlands of greens stretched gracefully to the sides. High above the center aisle hung clusters of laurel, from which red flowers out. About the floor were ranged palms and other tropical plants. A brilliant touch was given by the bright red and flashy brass of the au- tomeobiles. The crowds paraded along the aisles, stopping to Inspect and comment upon the machines. At each exhibit were stationed experts who explained the details of the mechanism. One young woman whe, upon enter- ing. asked an expert how many wheeis it took to make a horse power. emerged from the Auditorium talking fluently of sparkers, limousines, and chassis. Greatest interest was taken in the bare framework on exhibition. The full details of .the mechanism were ex- plained by experts. In short, the pub- lic was really introduced to the aute- mobile. SEVERAL SALES RECORDED Prospective purchasers were legion. Many a’person found himself bewil- dered at the close of the evening. There ‘was such a variety of makes and the advantages of each had been so clever- 1y set forth that it seemed impossible to choose. Before the doors of the Auditorium had been thrown open two sales had been made. F. W. Smythe ~ Continued om Page 7, Columm & ‘ Y
