San Francisco, Aug. z5.7FThe federal
commission on Industrial relations, with
Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City as the
chairman, opened its inquiry here today

mony of John P. Irish, secretary of the

director of the Merchants, Manufactur-
ers and Employers association, and An
ton Johannsen, organizer for the San
Francisco Building Trades Council
Irish gave the views of the manufae-
turers regarding the controversy, while
Johanssen explained the stand of the
workmen. Irish was questioned BY
Commissioner Garretson. He was ask
ed the difference between communica-
ton Of 40 employers against one union
and 40 unions against one employer.
"Do not both these combines ask.
cd Garretson, "lend moral support and
money in time of trouble to the best
that is in themf" ;,
oNot the best from our viewpoint,
answered Irish.
"The best is coercion by force"
Johannsen denied the statements

HELPED CELEBRATE
MIR. RYAN'S BIRTHDAY
One Who Was There Tells How the
G.. A. R. and Others Surprised R. R.
Ryan at the Public Market.

The lalies of the G.. A. R. did them
selves proud when they got up that
fine banquet dinner Saturday, August
%, in the r. r. Ryan Market building.
1t being .dr. Ryan's 6Sth birthday
anniversary it was certainly an ap-
propriate time, and place to celebrate
that event and also to give the G. A.
RS a good time.
There were about twenty-five Old
soldiers present TO enjoy the good
things TO eat, which were all provid d
for them in such an abundance. Then
the ladies and their friends also had
a good social time while partaking of
the feast.
Mr.. Ryan thanked his friends, his
comrades. and particularly the G.. A. K.
ladies for so kindly remembering him.
He made few very appropriate re
marks. and also few promises as to
what his building the market meant to
the people. He spoke of intending soon
to have q large hall finished up staits.
which he wished to have dedicated, OF
words to that effect, by having all the
cold Boys and their wives and
daughters-diln't say a word abou!
their sweethearts, maybe he thinks they
haven't any-prcsent to enjoy good
old fashion dance. Probably they will
dance the Lancers, Virginia Reel, and
such; the Tango will be barred-unti
after the old folks 60 home, any how
Mr.. Ryan s remarks were often il
terrupted with hand-claps, and cheers
! He certainly pleased all who heard him
| During the time before and afte

promising new market, asked question
of all concerne !, and become bette
acquainted with the whole scheme
showing Mr.. Ryan had the future vel
fare in mind of the farmers, as well a
the consumers when he built this fin
City Market.
Its place where both classes o
people can be benefited, it fills Ion
felt want.
But it cannot all be accomplished b

operate with him to make it a success

CHINA TO SPEND 100000 IN MARVELLOUS DISPLAY AT
THE PANAMA-PAClFIC EXPOSITION.

Globe trotters and officials from all
parts of the world who have visited
the Panama. Pacific International Ex-
position grounds at San Francisco have
expressed their ast0nishment and de-
light at the wonders already revealed
there. "The most stupendous under
taking of the kind in history" and
"'the most beautiful site and color eff
feet in the worl " are the expressions
rom men and women who are familiar
with all of the worlds great exposi-
tons. The young lady who secures the
largest number of votes in the Capital
Journal s contest will see these splen-
dors complete in every detail, as the
Fair association has assured the world
that every exhibit palace and every err
hibit will be in place when the gates
swing open on February 20, 1919.
The only effort required by the con.
testants is to ask for sales checks and
receipts from number of progressive

cash or paving your monthly bills.
These sales checks or receipts may then
be exchanged for votes at this office
one vote for every cents shown on
your slip. The young lady who has
the largest number of votes on January

exposition as the gdest of the Capt.

Residents of Monterey and Carmel
were indignant over Kodani claim
that Miss Smith was in love with him
and that a quarrel over another woman
led to the murder II was asserted by
friends and acquaintance of the mur-
dered woman that KOdani 5 desire 10
secure money was the real motive for
the murder.
The Japanese is known to have
squandered considerable money ON
woman of the red light district of Mon
terev. with whom he was madly infat-
uated. 1t is generally believed here
that NOdani went to the home of Miss
Smith, requested Il loan, and when he
was refused deliberately murdered the
artist in her own home, secured a check
for S252.22 which she received that
day, and under the cover of darkness
took the body in a buggy to the beach
and buried it. This belief was strength
eued by the finding of buggy tracks
near the spot where Alisg Smith 5 body
lay.
Kodani was ON the verge of nervous
prostration today. He still stuck to the
story, however, that he killed Miss
smith on the beach after she had quar-
relied with him, he says, because he told
her he was going to Nevada to join an
other woman.

HOLDING PRIMARIES
in CALIFORNIA TODAY
Claimed Some of the Races Will Be
Close-Heney, of Land Fraud Fame,
in Race for U. s. Senator.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-Polls for
the primary election throughout the
state opened at o clock today and will
close at I 0 clock tIis evening. Cali
tornia S total registration WAS placed
at l,099,440, but Register Zemansky, of
San Francisco, predicted early today
tnat nor mons lhhn 10 Per cent of the
registered voters will exercise the fran
chise.
Republicans here predi, ted that Cap
tain John d. Fredericks, OF Los Angeles,
will win the republican nomination for
governor over Francis V. Keesling
They figured that Fredericks will poll
almost the solid vote of the south, while
the vote north OF the Tehachapi will
be split among Keesling, Charles NJ
BeIshaw and W. G.. Raston, the other
republican candidates. The northern
candidates, however, were each conf
dent of victory.
johnson Not opposed.
Five candidates are in the field for
the democratic nomination and the re
suit will probably be in doubt unless
the last vote is counted. San Francisco
politicians believed that either John B.
Curtin or Fred II. Hall would secure the
nomination.
Hiram B. Johnson, unopposed, is the
progressive candidate. 1t was not be-
Ilieved that he will poll sufficient votes
at today's primary to re-elect him gov
ernor without participating in the gen
eral state election in November
The race between Francis j. Heney
and Chester H. ROwell for the progress
sive nomination for senator is close
one, but opinion here seemed to be thai
Heney will win out.
Close Race Predicted.
The closest race of all in the senator
ial squabble is that between Samue
Shortdige and Joseph Knowland fo
the republican nomination for senator
Both candidates were confident Of vie
tory but were making no wild claims.
: James D. Phelan and Thomas Griffith
: are the democratic candidates for Unit
ed States senator. Each believes tn
other will be beaten and both clair
ma iorities in San Francisco and Lo
Angeles.
The contest for non-partisan nomina
tion for chief justice of the state 81
preme court also was attracting muc
attention. Judge Conley, of MADEIRA
| Judge Angelotti, of Marin, and Judg
Bordwell, of Los Angeles, were the car
} didates. The two who receive tn
, highest vote will contest for the offic
at the November election.

WILL TAKE APPEAL
ON BENSON HYDE CASE

Attorney General Crawford SAID to-
day that he would appeal to the ST.
preme court from the ruling OF Judge
l.. 4. Harris of Lane county in tine
Benson-Hyde case. Mr.. Crawford holds
that the statute Of limitations does not
run against the state, as the state is c
sovereign power aud not subject to the
above statute. Judge Harris recently
held that the state mad been guilty o.
negligence and delay in this ease and
that the state should show cause why
the matter was not disposed of within
the limit set upon other cases. Mr.
Crawford said that in 1905 when the
case was first begun that an investi-
CATION on the part of the certain state
officials who we're interested failed to
reveal fraud. In 1908 it was taken III
again and at this time the investiga-
tien was not productive of any tangi'
Bile evidence of fraud and as result
the case was permitted to lapse.
