WHOLE CITY NAMED
ON THE COMMITTEES
Will Give President-elect
Lively Entertainment for
Three Days.
(By Associated Preaa.)
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7. Quota-
tlons. on high silk hats and .frock
coats have taken a sudden Jump In
the local market and It Is all on ac
count of Judge William Howard Taft.
When It became definitely known
that the president-elect would return
from Panama via New Orleans next
Thursday, and that he had accepted
the invitation of this city to be Its
guest ,forv two days, the citizens who
assumed the task of making plans
for the entertainment of the dis
tinguished' visitor Immediately got
busy. The first step was the appoint
ment of several dozen committees,
and their membership runs Into the
thousands. There is a committee on
tb? land reception and a committee
m the river reception, a committee on
Invitations and a Vommittee on pa
rade, a committee on automobiles and
a committee on carriages, a commit
tee 'on the banquet anfr a committee
on hotel accommodations. These are
but a few of the numerous commit
tees appointed, and then there are
sub-committees on menus and music,
decorations, souvenirs anil many oth
er things. '
Must Discard Kloiirh flats.
It has been officially announced
that everybody who appears In con
nection with the reception before 6
o'clock In the owning must wear the
conventional frock coat and high silk
hat. On account of climatic condl
.tlons and for various other reasons,
thV--smbmtlon 'ha never been a.
popular on In. New Orleans, and in
consequence there are several hundred
committeemen who find the day set
for Judge Taft's arrival fast ap
proaching with their Wardrobes still
minus the precious articles and little
hope of securing them.
The pre Icht-elevt is to arrive at
the month of the river late Wednes
day night or Thursday morning.
There he is to leave the battleship
North Carolina and go aboard the
lighthouse tender Oleander. The
Oleander will put him aboard the
scout cruiser Birmingham, and the
Birmingham will bring" him within
sight of New Orleans, where he will
be put aboard the steamer 3eneral
Newton and brought to the landing.
With Dancing ami Feasting.
The parade will traverse the princi
pal streets of the city and will lie
brought to a halt at the city hall,
where President-elect Taft will be
formally and officfally welcomed to
New Orleans by Mayor Martin Beher
man. The president-elect will also
make a speech, and then the parade
will start again and pass in revdew.
At o'clock the same evening the
president-elect and Mrs. Taft will at
tend the ball of the Elves of Oberon.

the old French opera house.
Friday morning at 10 o'clock a re
ception will be tendered the president
elect by the colored Y. M. C. A. of

Japanese legislation will be to the

will be the subject of discussion of
reconsideration In the assembly on
(.Wednesday. One of these, aireany
parsed by the house, segregates Jap

other empowers cuniclpalltles o se
gregate In residential quarters all un
desirable aliens whose presance
might. In the opinion of the boards
cf supervisors be' inimical to the pur
pose, health and morals of the com
munities.
It is the school bilMhat most deep
ly concerns President Roosevelt and
bftween this time and Wednesday it
la expected national authorities will
throw additional light on 'the subject-
It is supposed that this will show the
true state of diplomatic negotiations
now pending between Japan and the
United States, and reveal the reason
for Mr. Roosevelt's numerous tele
grams to the governor urging post
ponement of further action on anti-
Japanese legislation.
Commends Speaker.
The following telegram has been
sent by President Roosevelt:
Hon. Philip A. Stanton, speaker of
the assembly: "Please cccept the ex
