COMMERCE CHAMBER PLANS
EXCURSION
If Members Decide FavorsbIy Steamer
Sierra VIII Make Two Weeks
Tour, Leaving Redondo
May 25

Postals announcing plans for an ex-
cursion to Honolulu were being sent
out by the Los Angeles chamber OF
commerce yesterday.
1t depends on the answers received
as to whether or not the trip will be
made. The voice of the majority will
decide.
The steamer to be used is the Sierra
of the Oceanic line Of San Francisco.
This is a magnificent 6000-ton craft,
twin screw. and modern in every re-
Spect
It is the plan of the chamber to make
this the finest trip ever undertaken
by this organization.
The plan is to leave Redondo May
25 and return to that port June is.
The steamer will sail to Hilo direct,
and remain there four days while the
passengers visit the famous active VOL
cano.
Then the steamer viii go to Homo
lulu, where she will be tied up to the
wharf for eight days, while the pas
sengers have ample opportunity of see
ing all the sights of that place
As the steamer is a twin screw YES
sci, the expectation is to make the run
from Redondo to Hilo in less than six
days. Furthermore. the accommoda-
tions are to be first class i'm every par
ticular, including menu and service ana
everything about the boat. Special fea-
lures of all kinds are to be presented
Plenty of Room Provided
Reasonable rates for service rem
Sered will be made, while an effort Will
be made to put two in a room through
out the entire steamer If possible.
Full particulars can be obtained at
the chamber of commerce upon in
quiiy.
One feature of this trip on the Sierra
is that it may be the forerunner of
direct line from Redondo to Honolulu.
The Sierra starts from San Francisco
and comes to Redondo and then goes
to the islands. But if the plan is taken
up as a result of a successful trip this
year the chamber of commerce hopes
that a direct line from RedoRdo to
Honolulu may be established.

don, and that the member of congress
whom he was pressing was Mr..
Loud.
Mr.. Marlborough was not willing
witness and at first refused to answer
certain questions on the ground that
they We're confidential, owing to the
fact that he had been private secretary
to Mr.. Loud. but Mr.. Loud released
him from such obligations and he then
told his story.
Mr.. Marlborough produced an anony-

Makes a Correction

Mr. Lilley today made a statement
correcting part of the testimony given
yesterday before the committee of the
house by Franklin Taylor of Water
bury, Conn.
In this statement Mr. Lilley referred
especially to Mr.. Taylor's announce
ment concerning the possible result
of the committees inquiry. On that
point he said:
"Mr. Taylor stated he heard me say
in the Waterbury club before about
dozen men that | expected an ad-
verse report from the committee, and
that | would go on the floor of the
house and tell all | knew about sub
marines. His testimony differs only
in the following particular:
while taking lunch at the Water
bury club some one present asked me
what would happen if the committee
reported adversely. 1t was at that
moment, as l remember, that Mr.. Tay-
lor entered the room and he heard
only my reply, which was that in the
event of an adverse report l would
still have the privilege of making an
argument on the floor of the house to
present my side of the case"
