The WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union ) asked the Reverend Mark Matthews, a Presbyterian minister well known for his moral crusades in Seattle, to view the Igorrotes and offer an opinion on the propriety of the natives' dress. Matthews led a delegation of civic leaders, including Judge Thomas Burke, Washington governor M.E. Hay, managers of the Igorrote display, and Exposition president J.E. Chilberg to investigate the Igorrote camp. |
