LOS ANGELES, July es.-Josephus

after he arrived from San Diego to-
night aboard John D. Spreckels' yacht

The descent was not made aboard
the yacht or in submarine, however,
but in the banquet room of downtown

of the Los Angeles Press club.
Nearly 200 newspapermen assembled
to honor the editor who is now mariner

congested eastern districts.
The exposition officia1s are used to
hearing San Francisco business men
praise the fair and what it stands for.
Then they close their eyes and are not
able to see beyond the mountains to
the east. But they must--they must sell
every man east of the Mississippi river
after he learns what San Francisco has
to OFFER in 1915. Otherwise the at
tendance will fall short of what is an

Speaking of William Woodhead, the
newly elected president of the Associa-
ton of Advertising Clubs or America.
Mr.. Briggs said that Woodhead was
the strongest man in the organization
today and his election was on the plat

San Francisco will have to fight for

/ Greater. publicity. among the people

necessary for the success of the Pan

A. M. Briggs OF Cleveland, chairman Of
the executive committee of the Associ-
alton of Advertising Clubs of America,
who arrived in San Francisco last
night to establish a branch off1ce for
his firm.
The exposition must be advertised
to the so called middle class popula-

from 500 to $3.50 a month-because
they are the people who will remain
here and help develop this wonderful
state said Mr.. Briggs. The rich man.

cisco in 1915 any way. but he'll go
back after he sees the great show.
The time to start showing these
men and women why they should live
in California is now. They must be
educated to saving the money neces
sary for the trip.
The exposition must be made a
topic for table talk and household
gossip, so that the trip to San Fran
cisco will come almost as a matter of
course
For months the great fairs OF Chi

Finally the exposition heads got to-

they had to offer. just as Barnum ad

came and turned apparent failure into
success.

sition in San Francisco. Eastern peo-
pie must be made to realize what it all
means-what it's educational value will
amount to. and, above all. how much it
will cost to get here. Many of them
have an idea it costs as much to go to
California as 1t does to Italy. They
put the two trips In the same category.

tion. He said:
The Panama canal opening will
mean more rapid growth to your
city than it has ever experienced. There
is no question about that, if the coun-
try is to reap any benefit in COM

is to gain the greatest, perhaps. of

NO DEFINITE PROMISE
Il regret that I can not make any
more definite promise as to just what
the Western Pacific will do here, but /

We will do that which Is necessary

LOBBY COMMITTEE
WORKS FULL SPEED
Five Hundred Letters Read
Into Record-Dernocrats
Accused of Politics

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The senate
lobby committee put on full speed
ahead today and in an unusually short
session got into the record nearly soc
letters of Martin NJ Mulhall, alleged
political worker and lobbyist, for the
National Association of Manufacturers
Mulhalfs testimony today covered a
slack period in the summer and fall OF
1903 and the early part of 1910 when
there was nothing to do in his line
except to work on strikes. tinker at a
few odd jobs in politics and keep things
generally moving in Washington.
In several letters, Mulhall told of a
desire on his part to see Charles F.
Murphy. Boss" of Tammany hall, in
the interest of the candidacy of George
Gordon Battle for governor of New
York.
WANTED TO SEE MURPHY
Mulhall was trying to see Murphy
through Herman Black. who appeared
in the correspondence as an attorney
of III Broadway.
Mulhall swore that Black was a
sort OF confidential lawyer" to Muir
ply. He said he never saw Murphy on
this matter and testified that Mr.. Bat
tie was q man of the highest charac-
ter and clean politically.
Mulhalrs personal political aspira-
tiors came into the proceedings again
today when several letters were read
in which he was spoken of by officers
Of the association as being mention ed
for congress-" from the fourth dis
trict" (probably Maryland). James w.
Van C1eave, one time president of the
association. wished Mulhall well in this
matter as did John Kirby Jr.
SECRETARY FOR TARIFF BOARD
Many of the letters spoke of an
effort to land r. c. Schwedtman, secre-
tary TO Van Cleave, on the tariff board.
Several others told of public documents
oficers wished Mulhall to get, includ-
ing the report of the national none
tary commission.
Questioned by Senator Reed. Mulhall
said the association was interested in
that report, but he didn't know just
how. He swore that copies of the Con-
Eresslonal Record were ranked to
prominent members of the National
Association of Manufacturers, and in
one letter boasted that he and Joseph
Merry, counsel for the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, could get al
most any such document and frank it
out
Neither Senators Cummins nor Nell
son. republican members of the COM
mittee, appeared today at the hearing.
Although neither would discuss the
matter. it is known generally that they
claim the democrats have been playing 6
politics with the investigation, partic-
uIarly in the case of S. w. McClaye.
who was defeated for congress in the
sixth New Jersey district in a special
election yesterday.
