Mrs. Walter Pomeroy, CALIFORNIA; Chosen Beauty Would
Have No Cold Cream Cosmetics-The Spirit of Youth
Instead Will Make it Natural, She Declares.

Los ANGELES. Cal, Aug. H.
That feminine beauty Is not a mat
ter of cold cream, cosmetics or ath-
letics is the opinion of Mrs. Walter
Pomeroy, of Los Angeles, who has
been chosen to represent the State
of California in the worlds beauty
contest to be held in September, in
Brussels. Belgium.
Mrs. Pomeroy says that she has no
faith in the numerous popular sug-
gestions offered to solve the problem
of how to be beautiful.
I'm my opinion, the beautiful wom-
an is not the one who may have the
most perfect features. Even physical
beauty depends ultimately upon
beautiful spiritual thoughts. Many
women attach too much Importance
to physical beauty.
Beauty is that which pleases the
esthetic sense, and we love beautl-
full woman as we love a beautiful
flower, but it is neither beauty nor
money that brings happiness. If
am beautiful, 1t is merely the result
of circumstances. I grew in beau
tiful garden and was protected and
cared for since l can remember.

beauty and the devotion of those

SEIZE $4,000 CANS
OF TOMATO SAUCE
Local Board of Health Will
Destroy Flood of Con-
demned Condiment.

Every one of so, 800 cans of con-
demned tomato sauce, seized by the
Board Of Health today, will have TO
be opened and the decomposed con-
tents removed.
The food inspectors didn't seek the
job, but they had 1t forced on them
by a queer coincidence. Chief In
spector Samuel Scharwell and In
spector Charles Conrad were in Hayes
street looking for umawfuliy exposed
foodstuffs when they tried to question
a man who could not speak English.
e. Di Santo, who was passing, vol
unteered to interpret and when the
inspectors had finished their ques-
tions. he asked them to help him out
in predicament he was in.
MY firm, E. Di Santo & Del Campo
Co., wholesale grocers, of 81 Hayes
street, paid $1,000 to Francisco La
marc, of Italy, for $4,000 cans of
italian sauce" he said. 1.-THE sample
cans he showed us were all right,
but the consignment was no good.
We found out afterward that the
shipment had been billed to A. Serge
& Co., New York, and that the cans
bore that firms name. When 1t ar
rived in New York. the Serge people
wouldn't accept it and they told
Lanaro that they didn't want him to
sell 1t anywhere in New York, be-
cause it would hurt their reputation.
He came over and sold it to us. Last
month we had him arrested in Jer-
sey City and he was held in $4,000
bail for the grand jury"
The inspectors examined few of
the 200 cases and then confiscated
them
The prosecutors office, in Jersey
City, has no record of any case pend
ing against Lanaro.

MU[HALL' lob IS
!. DEFINED BY EMERY
Chief Representative of N. A..
M. Says Lobbyist Merely
Kept Tabs on Laws.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Thames
A. Emery, chief representative of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers here, defined to the Senate lobby
committee today the duties of Martin
M. Mulhall, who claimed to be the as
scciation's lobbyist
"Mulhall kept me supplied with
copies of bills and public documents
In relation to the work here and got
information of the status of legisla-
ton in which we were interested. In
this work he gathered information
and learned the views of members of
| Congress. He made inquiries about
hearings and requested an opportun-
ity for me to appear" said Emery.
Denies Capitol Negroes Were Hired
Emery denied fatty that Henry
Neal and Harry Parker, two negro
employees at the Capitol. were in the
pay of the manufacturers. Mulhall
| swore that for almost a year Emery
gave him each month a 800 check, of
which $50 was to go to l. II. McMi-
chael, one-time chief page of the
| House, and $50 went to Parker and
Neal. Emery denied he ever drew
such a check. He declared Mulhall
| told him he had a friend at the Capt.
toll who could get the public doeu-
ments and bills. Later Emery
| learned the friend was McMichael
| Emery testified, however, that he
did draw a check for $50, sent it to
Mulhall and told him to divide it be-
| tween Neal and Parker, merely to
pay for the many courtesies they
! performed for our members
Paid MulhalI for McsIichaeI.
did you ever make any payments
| to Mulhall for McMichael?' asked
attorney McCarter for the manufac-
| turers.
YES" said the witness. 1T never
exceeded 500 a month, and it termina-
ted when / left for Europe in 1910"
| The payments were made, he said,
for services in getting bills and docu-
ments and for courtesies.
"Too absurd to contemplate" said
Emery when McCarter asked him
about the secret room in the Capitol
that Mulhall swore was furnished to
| the association by Congressman Nc
Dermott, of Illinois.
Martin M. Mulhall continued his ac-
count of his relations with congress-
men in his work for the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers before the
House lobby committee today.
| In a letter to Secretary Schwedt-
man in 1905, Mulhall reported Repre-
sentative Burke, of Pennsylvania, as
pledged to vote for the anti-pilotage
bill, which the manufacturers We're
pressing in the House.
Mulhall testified today he had
known Burke many years and that
his support of the bill was not the re-
suit of any undue influence.

Delicate Politics Involved in

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL.
In the appointment of Thomas
Birthwhistle for postmaster at Engle-
wood, which was sent to the Senate
at about the same time that Repre-
sentative A. NJ Hart, of the Sixth
district, was sworn in as a member
of the House this afternoon, Senator
William Hughes seems to have
played some rather delicate politics.
It was said at the Hhite House that
Birthwhistle's appointment was made
by Senator Hughes and the Senator
admits the impeachment; asked
whether there was any purpose lin
having the nomination made before
Hart took his seat, Hughes said there
was not and that so far as he knew
Birthwhistle was satisfactory to all
factions of the party in Bergen coun-
ty. THE appointment has been held
up for several months said Hughes,
land the post office department was
demanding that recommendation be
made. l don't think there will be any
dissatisfaction kith the choice" Rep
resentative Hart who was elected in
the special election in the Sixth dis
trict, two weeks ago, to succeed the
late Lewis D. Martin, was sworn in
as a member of the House this after
noon. Mann, the Republican leader,
objected to having him seated be-
cause his credentials were not in pos
session of the House. Representative
Kinkead, however, vouched for Hart
and said the certificate of election
was merely delayed, and Mann with
drew his AFFECTION.
Immediately after being sworn in.
Hart disappeared from the floor of
the House and could not be found
this afternoon. 1t is understood here
that Hart had another candidate for
Englewood Postoffice, and that the
White House helped Senator Hughes
to put over his man by sending in
the nomination before Hart was Off
cially in a position to make a recon-
mendation. H. B. w.

Mexican problem and the veXed ques-

The invaders on investigation
