WORLDS FAIR MAYOR
James Rolph, Jr., Is Inaugurated in
san Francisco.

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-James
Rolph, jr., the worlds fair mayor, =
whose task it will be to prepare this
city for the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tionaI exposition in 1915, took office
today, relieving P. G. Mccarthy, the
labor leader. Since Mccarthy was
elected two years ago the city charter
has undergone radical change. All
municipal elections are nonpartlSan,
the direct primary system allows only
two candidates for any office at the
actual elections and the term of the
mayor has been increased to four
years.
There were no ceremonies attending
the change of administration. Rolph
declared in his inaugural that it was
to be a business administration and
urged the board of supervisors to
waste no time in preliminaries but to
get to work.
Among the projects expected to be
completed under the new administra-
ton are the purchase of the municipal
water system, expansion of the mu-
nicipal street railway now under con-
structiOn, establishment of a civic
center and the construction of a city
hall to replace the structure de-
strOyed in the fire of 1906.

of SkibO positively refused to accept
the invitation extended to him by the
steel investigating committee to appear
before it as a voluntary witness. In
stating that he would not come to
Washington, Mr.. Carnegie who for
months has asserted he was perfectly
willing to testify, gavs as reason that
his personal counsel at the last moment
had. advised against it.
Mr.. Stanley expressed his great sur
prise and brought argument to bear
upon Mr.. Carnegie, outlining to him
the character of testimony he would be
asked to give, and stating his doubt
that the evidence would supply the
government with facts for its suit
against the steel trust, which it could
not get easily from other sources. But
Mr.. Carnegie was obdurate.
