SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-Sec-

freely, hoaXed the newspaper men and
hugely enjoyed his own joke.
81 have something on my mind
have long waited to express" he said
confldentially, and the reporters edged
in closer. Then Bryan's face spread in
an expansive grin.
81 think California climate is great"
he conflded.
Laughngly he called attention to a
"bunch Of bald heads" when the hats
We're removed. Another laugh was
raised when Mr.. Bryan posed for Jap
anese newspaper photographers.
With Mayor ROlph in an auto Mr..
Bryan was driven to the exposition
headquarters, then to a hotel for a
luncheon given by the fair directors.
Later he motored through Golden Gate

PAVING ON BROADWAY
IS NOW IN PROGRESS

At last the work of laying pavement
on Broadway is we'll under way, and
from this time on much progress is
looked for along this line. The big
mixing machine was started this morn
ing. and large force of men is en-
gagged laying the five inches of fOun-
dation cement. This will lie eight or
ten days before the surface Of rock
and btumen will be placed on top,
when the road will be ready for use
again.
Superintendent Miller Of the Barber
Asphalt Paying company said this
morning that it will take about three
DAYS TO lay block Of the foundation
and about as much longer to lay the
surface when the time comes for it
to be applied.
On top OF this pavement will he
worked the twelve ton roller when the
surface is placed, this great weight
working the material down into the ce-
ment and also developing any possible
weakness in the foundation.
A large crowd gathered at the works
this morning to watch operations and
much satisfaction was expressed over
the class Of work being done.
Mr.. Miller said he was annoyed by
the report that some person has jump
ed the gravel pit near DiXieland and
threatens to charge a half dollar load
for gravel. This may necesSitate the
contractors getting gravel elsewhere.

CITY OFFICIALS TO ENFORCE

The city trustees lest evening decided

City Health Officer Dr.. McCombs

isting in parts Of the city, where filth
IS allowed to accumulate, in violation

Secretary Bryan declined to dis

situation in Sacramento is the subject
Of wide speculation among the legis-

A delegation from the Lodi Anti

P|NDELL' 8 NAME
AS ENVOY HELD
UP BY WILSON
Letters Sent by J. Ham Lewis Of
fering Peoria Man Russian
Post Investigated.

WARRINGTON, Nov 10.-The
domination of Henry R. Pindell, Of
Peoria, ILL.,, to be Amba ssador to Rus
.na will not go to the Senate for the
present. President Wilson announced
this to visitors to-day.
This is taken to mean that Sena-
rors will not be allowed to investigate
at the present time the facts related
in letter sent by Senator j. Ham
Lewis to MT. PindeM.
To the amazement of his political
friends and advisers, Senator Lewis
admitted the genuineness Of the pub
lshed letters to Pindell offering him
the appointment as Ambassador 10
Russia on condition that he resign his
post on October / next.
Lewis Tells of Letters.
Although he was shown a dispatch
from Peoria in which Pindell was
quoted as saying that the letters as
published were absolute forgeries and
we're never received by him, Senator
Lewis said:
The letters are not forgeries.
sent the letters Substa ntially as prin--
ID, and Mr.. Pinden received them.
They were stolen from Mr.. Pindell s
,Ges1k In his Office in Peoria. Mr. Pin
dell has known for more than two
weeks that the letters were stolen.
He came to Washington and told me
that he knew who had stolen the let-
ters from his desk. The matter was
quite we'll known at the Capital"
Senator Lewis here offered a new
~3planation-if not the first eNplana-
tion--of that phrase in his letter to
Pindell where he says, But # you
accept this position it must be with
the understanding that you will re-
sign on the 1st Of October, 1914"
Why Stipulation Was Made.
The reason I made that stipula-
ion" said Senator Lewis was that
at the time l wrote that letter early
in September no one could be APP
pointed Amba ssadOr to Russia for
more than one year. The appoint
ment at that time must have been for
the unexpired term of Curtis Guild,
hen Ambassador.
"Mr. Guild had been appointed for
a rour-year term and he had still one
year to serve. My understanding was
that If Mr.. PindeL or anyone else
we're appointed Ambassador to st.
Petersburg It would be incumbent
upon him to regard the appointment
as made only for the uneMpired term
Of one year, at the end of which time
he would be expected, as any gen
teman would, to tender his resigna-
lion
Since the letter was written the
situation has changed. Mr.. Guilds
term was terminated in such a way
that it no longer is necessary to lp-
point his successor for an uneXpired

That the election Of Judge Frank

ion of things in regard to the forth
coming appointment to the position
of postmaster at Thomasville there
seems no doubt, and some OF those
who had sent in their applications
some months ago are feeling their
hopes for the office silently steal
away"
There were a number OF appHca-
tons for the office sent in to the late
Congressman Roddenbery, but it is
not thought that he made any recon-
mendation in the matter before his
death, as the term of Postmaster Dis
nuke is not out until the coming
spring. Had Mr.. Luke been elected

for, the Office would have been equally
as good as with his predecessor, az

but with Judgs Park to distribute the

emily situated. To- AS one of the appli-
ly, his prospects for being the hand
Ter of Uncle Sans mail have gon"

OF course, Judge Park is not going
to find it difficult to fill the position
as there are already rumors of several
from among the Park adherents who
are getting up their applications
ready to send in, some of them prob
ably reaching Washington as soon as
the Congressman himself does.

If Walter P. Andrews agrees to be-
come a candidate for Mayor of At
lanta, there is no doubt whatever that
his race will be watched by interested,
and in hundreds of cases entirely
sympathetic, eyes all over the State.
There is hardly a better known At
Iantan than Walter Andrews No
only was his circle of acquaintance
large before he began taking any sort
or active interest in politics, but it
mas been greatly enlarged since AS
one of the managers of Presiden.
Woodrow Wilson's primary campaign
in Georgia. Andrews came in contact
daily with scores of Georgians from
all sections. and the impression he
made upon them invariably seemed to
be pleasant.
He devoted very great deal OF his
time to the Wilson headquarters-as
ne does to all matters in which he
becomes interested-and it is a sure
thing that he would be Mayor con-
stantly on the job if, in the course Of
events, he should become the head of
the government of Georgia's capital
city.
Mr.. Andrews too, has perhaps
among the Elks the very greatest
number of friends and well wishers
OF any member Of that antlered tribe
in the State. He unquestionably is
credited among his brethren with the
present high standard of the Atlanta
lodge. For time he was district
deputy grand exalted ruler of the
State, and is now a member of the
Grand Lodge of the nation.
To be sure, the latter circum-
stance has nothing whatever to do
with politics, but it is a fact that
through these high positions in the
Order Of Elks Walter P. Andrews has
had opportunity happily improved, o:
meeting and knowing, after a heart
to-heart fashion, very great number
of Georgians.
Whether Mr.. Andrews ever makes
the race for Mayor of Atlanta &C
tually, it is a fact that he is temper
amentally, Intellectually and every
ton.
On Saturday the Governor of Geor-
gia received Letter addressed thus:
Mr.. Slaton,
hon. Cuff.

And then he laughed. and shower

good laugh, at his own expense!
The outcome Of the municipal pri-
mary to be held in Cordele on We'd

at this time as between the open

those advocating an open town"
notwithstanding the fact that the
shut town" element claims a ma
