/ VOLUME XII. ATLANTA, ,G&. FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1913. NO 64, BATTLE OF ATLANTA MAY BEJELEBRATEO Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Directors, at Instance of President Moore, Refers Big Project to a Committee Atlanta’s battle semi-centennial may be commemorated next year. What may prove to have been the small beginning- of a great result was witnessed Wednesday when the Atlanta chambef of. commerce took the matter of a semi-centennial in hand, to study it. At the meeting of the board of direc tors present *of the chamber, Wednesday afternoon, with twelve directors pres ent, President Wilmer L. Moore was requested to name a committee of five to consider the suggestion of a semi centennial and- report back to the di rectors. That committee, when it has been named by President Moore, will confer with various patriotic organiza tions and with other interests to de termine whether or not the general sentiment holds the suggestion to be feasible. When that has been done and the report has been mfcde, the directors will decree whether or not the Atlanta pliomlior ftf ^ in in —.. X ii- chamber of commerce is to put its energy behind the movement. If the decision is affirmative, the semi-cen tennial becomes a certainty from that moment,—for what the chamber of com merce decides to do, is as good as done. FIFTY YEARS AGO. On July 22, 1864, was fought the battle of Atlanta. That battle, a “draw,” cost the lives of not less than 5,000 men, most of them younpr men. It cost the liberty of thousands of others who lay in squalid war prisons for months after ward. Otherwise it seemed then to have no effect,—but the years have re vealed that its effect was tremendous. It led to the fall of Atlanta, which in turn marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. Next year, on July 22, 1914, fifty years will have intervened since that battle. The great majority of the men who took part in it and survived long since have joined those who fought besidfe them and died. But there are yet living very many men w'ho were there and on other fields of battle that day. The semi-centennial will be the last great period of time that will find them on earth. Therefore, in order that those sur vivors of war may witness the com memoration of a great event which they helped to shape, and in order too that their grandchildren and great-grand children may associate Them personally with the occasion, the fiftieth anniver sary has been considered the proper one to observe. Meeting of Ambassadors in London Hears Suggestion That Italy, England and Austria Send Troops (By Associated Presa.) LONDON, May 1.—A proposal that the Montenegrin seaports of Amtlvari and Dulcigno shall be occupied by a joint in ternational force of Austrian, Italian and British troops as a further demon stration to King Nicholas that the pow ers are resolved to carry out their de cision in regard to Scutari, was made at today’s meeting of the ambassadors in London. Should Austria-Hungary accept this middle course, its adoption would allow time for further pressure on Montenegro and for an arrangement to provide her with compensation of some kind. The reply of Montenegro to the de mand of European evacuation of Scuta ri was received today by the powers. It is non-committal in character and keeps the door open for further negotiations. The little kingdom tells its big neigh bors that it has the greatest deference for them and declares the capture of Scu tari to be in no way a defiance on their announced decision to give the former Turkish fortress to Albania. At the same time Montenegro suggests that there is room for discussion and reserves the right of bringing up the question of Scutari in the course of peace negotia tions. In the meantime arrangements are In progress for the definite, conclusion of peace between the Balkan allies and Tur key. The European powers have re quested the respective governments to appoint plenipotentiaries who on meeting in London will be invited to sign a draft of the preliminaries which the powers have already drawn up. This course has been adopted in order to prevent pro longed discussion. The moderate tone of Montenegro’s re ply to the powers has cleared much oi the electricity out of the diplomatic at mosphere. The impression served from the Monte negrin note is that King Nicholas is waiting for the “compensation” which it to be offered him to quit Scutari. Iff NAMED TO HIED PLAGE TO ‘COUNSEL . II JOBS NOT ■ • UNDER CIVIL SERVICE 107 Government Positions in Georgia Which Require No Examination to Qualify President Wilson Names E. K, Campbell, of Alabama, Judge in U. S. Court of Claims BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1.—“Posi tions in the United States Service Which Are Not Required to be Filled Through Examination Under the Civil Service Law” is the tautological title of a pamphlet just issued by the federal government that will bring joy to the hearts of many “patriots” who are. will ing to serve their country, but who have run up against the civil service regulations. The pamphlet was com piled by the civil service commission, at the request of the house of repre sentatives. It appears from the compilation that there are in the state of Georgia 107 government jobs not in the classified service! The salaries of the places range upward from $600 to $4,000 per year. There are a score or more $600 places and only one $4,000 plum. In the city of Atlanta alone there are thirty-nine positions not under civil service. The majority of these—sixteen, to be exact—are under the collector of internal revenue, who Is ex-officio the custodian of the postofflce building. They are laborers’ places, and are worth $50 per month each. The private secretary to the post master at Atlanta is not a civil service employe. The salary of this position is $1,800 per year. » There are nine “laborers” in the At lanta postofflce, who each receive $720 a year—$60 a month. There are five “contract station clerks” whose salaries range from $600 to $900 a year each. • THE BEST GEORGIA JOB. The best job in Georgia, not under civil service, is that of warden of the United States penitentiary. It carries e salary of $4,000 a year, with desirably perquisites. The place comes under the department of justice, and the warden Is named by the attorney general. Other positions at the federal prison not under civil service are: Deputy warden, $2,000; chaplain, $1,500; as sistant chaplain, $1,200; physician, $1,600; oculist, $100. The assistant district attorney at At lanta receives $2,500, and the district attorney’s clerk gets $1,800. Neither of them are under civil service. Of course the United States marshal and his assistants at Atlanta are not under civil service. The marshal, how ever, is appointed by the president “with and by the advice and consent of the senate.” WASHINGTON, May 1.—E. K. Camp bell, of Birmingham, Ala., for many years political manager for Representa tive Oscar Underwood, has been 'select ed by President Wilson for a judge in the United States court of claims. His nomination was expected to go to the senate today. When Campbell’s name was first men tioned for the Judgeship it was pointed out by some Alabama Democrats that he had opposed instructing the delegation to the Baltimore convention to vote for Mr. Wilson in the event that Mr. Under wood could not be nominated. The selection of Mr. Campbell for the judgeship probably means the elevation of Judge Charles B. Howery, of Oxford, Miss., to be chief justice of the court of claims. His nomination also was said to be scheduled for today. WILSON NAMES EIGHT GEORGIA POSTMASTERS $3,000,000,000 FOR ROADS ASKED OF CONGRESS Senator Bourne, of Oregon, Wants Billion for Construc tion, Two for Maintenance WASHINGTON; May 1.—An expen diture of $3,000,000,000 for good roads—• $1,000,000,000 being for construction and $2,000,000,000 for maintenance, the in vestment extending over a period of 60 years, was proposed today in a plan submitted to the joint congressional committee on federal aid in the con struction of postroads, by former Sena tor Bourne, of Oregon. Senator Bourne's plan provides for federal and state co-operation. He also suggests the establishment of national schools of highway and bridge engi neering from which trained specialists in road building would be supplied to the various states. The billion dollar construction fund, according to Senator Bourne’s plan would be apportioned among the states upon the basis of area, population, as sessed valuation and road mileage. The states would be required to deposit in the United States treasury fifty-year 4 per cent bonds for the amount due them. The government would then lean the states the par value thereof for road construction, the government rais ing its fund y the sale of fifty-year non-taxable 3 per cent bonds. By crediting each state every year with the excess 1 per cent interest paid on the state bonds and allowing 3 per cent interest on the amount, com pounded annually, a sinking fund would be established, it is estimated, from which the government would pay off the bonds at the end of fifty years and the state would be relieved of the pay ment of principal on its bonds. SECRETARY DANIELS TO VISIT THE SOUTH •WASHINGTON. May 1.—Secretary Daniels began today a two weeks’ trip to include official visits to South At lantic navy yards. The' first stop will be at Wilson, N. C. t where a baiiquet will be given in his honor tomorrow night. His itinerary for the remainder of the trip is as follows: Raleigh, N. C., May 2 and 3; New Orleans, May 5; Pensacola, May 6; Jack sonville, May 7; Key West, May 8; Charleston, S. C., May 9 and 10; Port Royal, S. C., Denton barracks, May 11; Uu latirK. TUnv 12. LYERLA IS NOT MAN WANTED IN ILLINOIS Calhoun Man Now Wants to Prosecute Officials for His Arrest CALHOUN, Ga., May 1.—Thomas Ly- crla, Who was arrested here yesterday afternoon, on suspicion of being Roy Screvens, wanted in Pontiac, III., for murder, was released in Cartersvllle aft er an officer from Illinois declared he was not the man wanted. He has returned home and is now see ing if he can prosecute the sheriff of Bartow county, and his three deputies who made the arrest, and also his wife’s uncle, S. L. Jones, of Cartersville, all of whom are said to have been responsible for the arrest. W, F, Brown Draws Carrollton Plum-One Hundred and Fifty Postmasters Named BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1.—One hundred and fifty postofflce nomina tions were sent to the senate by Pres ident Wilson today and among the number were Georgia officers as fol lows: W. F. Brown, Carrollton, vice Claude •E. Smith; Henry M. Miller, Colquitt, reappointment; Charles. V. Clark, Louisville, Vice Lewis R. Farmer; An drew J. I. Irwin, Sanders ville, Vice Sameul B. Robinson; Mattie E. Gunter, Social Circle, reappointment; B. F. Baker Woodbury, vice Mary E. Hinton; Samuel B. Lewis, Fayetteville vice J. W. Kitchens. J. M. Wright at Screven, Wayne county, vice J. H. Walker, re signed. The Carrollton and Woodbury post masters were nominated by Congress man Adamson in the fourth district; Carrollton is the home town of Judge Adamson. The Louisville and Sanders- ville offices were filled on the recom mendation of Congressman Hardwick, Sandersville being Mr. Hardwick’s home. The reappointment at Colquitt was recommended by Congressman Roddenbery of the Second, and the re appointment of Miss Gunter at Social Circle was the recommendation of Con gressman Tribble of the eight district. The Fayetteville place was recom mended by Congressman Bartlett. The salaries of these offices are in dicated as follows: Carrollton $2,200; Colquitt $1,400; Louisville $1,600; Sandersville $1,900; Social Circle $1,400; Woodbury $1,200; Fayettville $1,000. Under postmaster General Burleson, all of these postmasters will be re quired to devote at least 8 hours a day to the duties of their offices, which precluded the possibility of their engag ing in another business. The largest number of postoffice nominations for a single state were for Iowa. Nineteen postofflees in this state were filed. It is stated that sev eral weeks ago a number of Iowans were held up by the president, because it came to his knowledge that most of the men nominated were not pro gressive democrats. These names had been sent in at the suggestion of National Committeeman Martin Wade, who was a Clark man in the pre-con vention fight. Nominations by President Wilson to day also included: ^ Commissioner of corporations, Joseph E. Davies, of Wisconsin. Assistant comptroller of the treas ury, Walter W. Warwick,^ of Ohio. Collector of customs for district of Jacksonville, Fla., John W. Martin. Surveyor of customs for port of Louisville, Ky., Warner S. Kinkaid. United States marshal district of New Mexico, Andrew it. Hudspeth. Receiver of public moneys at Lead- ville, Colo., Mrs. Annie G. Rogers, of Colorado. Congressman Adamson today recom mended to the postofflce department the appointment of Merritt L. Moore as postmaster at Bowdon, Carroll county, vice J. J. Walker, Republican. Judge Will B. King, of Portland, Dem ocrat! cnatlonal confmitteeman for Ore gon, has been appointed chief counsel of the United States reclamation service, by Secretary Lane. Mr. King was associate jnstlce of the OregQn supreme court up to 1911. HOUSE REACHES SUGAR SCHEDULE OF TARIFF Underwood Tightens Screws and Allows Two Hours' Debate (By Associated Pross.) WASHINGTON. May 1.—With the legislative machinery running smothly and rapidly, the house today reached the first of the big rough places in the Democratic tariff bill, the sugar sched ule. Representative Underwood at the throttle, drove the Democratic majority steadily ahead, disposing of the last paragraph of the metal schedule and going through the lumber and wood schedule without allowing an amend ment. A fight to restore to the dutiable list shingles, which the bill placed on the free list, provoked a wealth of ora tory, particularly from representatives of the north Pacific coast states. They made much of the “Oriental labor” troubles on the coast, citing the pres ent anti-Japanese agitation in Califor nia. / When the sugar schedule was reach ed it became apparent that more ora tory, in large volumes, was clamoring to be let loose and Representative Underwood, following his declaratoin that he intended to put on the screws, secured an agreement to allow two hours’ debate on the sugar schedule and all amendments offered to it. Representative Broussard, of Louis- ina, representing the Democrats who oppose the free sugar provision of the bill, joined the Republicans in the futile battle to alter the committee rates. The W'ood schedule, incolving the fights of the anti-free lumber advocates, was the first target of attack when the house today resumed debate on the tariff bill. Democratic leaders expected to make great progress in the reading of the bill for amend ment by the conclusion of tonight’s session. The agricultural schedule, involving contentions of the minority that the majority has put almost everything that the farmer holds dear on the free list, the wool section, which will precipitate the struggle of the opposition to free raw wool and the income tax with its graduated system that is expected to bring $100,000,000 into the treasury cof fers annually, were in sight when the Democratic leader reviewed the situa tion as the discussion began today. The leaders were confident, however, that there would be no disturbance of the caucus-approved bill, and the minority was wearying of the steady fight, with scores of constantly rejected amendments. The sparring of the parties for po litical advantage has been good-natured in the mdPn, and an occasional sparkle of wit with clashes between individual members has leavened the monotony of debate over dry figures. Representative Sims, of Tennessee, was questioning the reason for duty on motorcycles, and asked if the commit tee regarded them as luxuries or ne cessities. GOES BEFORE OF NEW JERSEY President Taking Stump for Jury Reform and Constitu tional Convention BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Hay 1.—At 3 o’clock this afternoon President Wilson broke from the manifold and pressing obliga tions of his office to return home to New Jersey for the purpose of redeem ing a personal and political responsi bility. It is an unusual thing for a president to do, but the president is moved by considerations not always usual to presidents. A New Jersey ad mirer stated it this way to The Jour nal: “President W r ilson’s return to New Jersey to urge the fulfillment of the Democratic party pledges as to jury reform and a constitutional convention, represents a final effort to fulfill a personal obligation. As governor, he participated in the drawing up of that platform with the other members of the legislature. He still holds their vote of confidence and will hold it un til another is elected in his place. His promotion to president makes necessa ry the succession of another to his of ficial functions within the state, but in stead of relieving him of responsibility for the party program merely gives him a wider leadership with which to insist on it. Mr. Wilson is still mor- of New Jersey, and his re sponsibility for leadership is the same. “President Wilson left the delicate Japan situation, the alnfost equally critical Mexican situation, the insistent crowding of Great Britain for an in terpretation of his policy on the Mon roe doctrine in relation to the over whelming foreign debts of Guatemala, unremitting run of conferences on the tariff, the same with regard to cur rency legislation, the multitude of questions affecting the distribution of patronage, the amalgamation of the Democratic national and congressional committees, and many other problems to which he has been devoting unceas ing attention. All these lie laid aside until Saturday morning. And In the meantime he has arranged a New Jer sey program which reads like one of Colonel Roosevelt’s most strenuous time cards.” BILL CELS 1 DETECTIVES ELIMINATE EVIDENCE IN CONFLICT WITH THEORY THAT PHACAN GIHLNEVER LEFT FACTORY All Efforts Will Be Concentrated at Inquest Thursday After noon to Show That Testimony of Witnesses Who Claim to Have Seen Girl After She Entered Factory on Fatal Day Is Vague and Indefinite and Contradictory When thfe coroner’s jury reconvenes Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock the city detectives will endeayor to eliminate all testimony which tends to refute the theory that Mary Phagan never left the National Pencil company’s factory after she went there to collect her two days’ wages last Saturday about noon. v The testimony of Edgar L. S'entell, employe of the Kamner’s gro cery company, has been a stumbling block in the way of the case from the very first. The detectives have never believed that Mary Phagan left the factory, yet they were confronted with Sentell’s positive state ment that he saw and spoke to her between 11:30 and l':30 o’clock Saurday night. At Wdnesday’s inquest he said that he was positive that he saw the girl, and said that he believed her companion was Arthur Mullinax SALS SENTELL WAS IN DOUBT. Thursday, however, D. W. Adams, a trolley car motorman, came to Chief Beavers and told him that he heard Sentell say shortly after he had testified at the inquest, that he was not certain that the woman he saw was Mary Phagan. “It might have been Miss Pearl Robinson,” Adams quotes Sentell as saying just a short time after he swore positively that he saw and spoke to Mary Phagan. Miss Robinson, who was at the inquet, was wearing on Saturday evening a dress very much like the one Mary Phagan wore, and earlier in the evening she and Mullinax says they were together. German Forest Fire (By Associated Press.) CELLA, Germany, May 1.—A great forest fires has been raging in this district since Wednesday evening. It has devastated 10,000 acres and now menaces the village of Rebberlah and the royal forest. y District of Columbia Commis sioners Praise Press and Say Censorship Is Inadvisable WASHINGTON, May 1.—“The public ity given by the press generally tends to lessen evil conditions and thus ren ders a useful service to the public,” say the commissioners of the District of Co lumbia in a report submitted to con gress today on the Works bill to pro vide a censorship of the news. “That dread of publicity has a deter- rant influence upon those disposed or tempted to crime, may be inferred from the fact that most offenders seek to avoid exposure of their misbehavior In newspaper reports.” Detectives Starnes and Campbell have convinced J. L. Watkins who testified that he saw Mary Phagan Saturday afternoon about 6 o'clock that he was mistaken and that the girl he really saw was Miss Daisy Jones, who lives at t.ie corner of Fox and Lindsay strets. Miss Jones will be at the inquest Thursday afternoon and Watkins will take the stand to make the statement that his first testimony was in error.. In demonstrating to ^fr. Watkins that he had seen Miss Jones instead of Mary Phagan the detectives got Miss Jones to put on the same clothes she had on Saturday afternoon and took her out on the street where Mr. Wat kins had seen her. Watkins was im mediately convinced that Miss Jones was the girl he had seen. Before the hour of convening of the inquest a number of detectives were en gaged In talking to employes of the factory aboutn general conditions, espe cially with reference to the conduct of the men, employes and employers alike, toward the women who worked there. A number of former employes were among the people who Were In confer ence with 'the detectives. SIXTH ARREST MADE. A sixth arrest In the Phagan murder case was made by detectives at 2 o’clock Thursday. James Connally, a negro “sweeper” employed at the National Pencil factory, was seen washing a shirt at. a faucet in the rear of the building. Before he had completed the work de tectives who had been phoned, walked in and placed the man under arrest. There were certain marks on the rfian’s shirt. He claims that they are “rust” marks. The detectives will hold him, at least until a chemical analysis can de termine for certain whether' or not the stains were caused by blood. The negro declared to the police that the shirt was the only one which he possessed and that he washed so he' could appear in it at the inquest, to which he had been summoned. His statement is believed by the police. NEW INFORMATION SECURED. A report that Newt Lee, the night watchman, has given the detectives much additional information was cur rent at police headquarters Thursday morning, and was not denied by the officials working on the case. Lee went through another hour’s examination Thursday morning, and when he was locked in his' cell again orders were given that he be allowed to communi cate with no one. It is now reported that he will go be fore the coroner’s Jury, when it con venes again at 4:30 in the afternoon. The detectives intimate that Lee has given them new information which will materially help them in solving the mystery of Mary Phagan murder. It bears out ** the theory, they say, upon which they have been working for the past two days. Shortly . after 9 o’clock Thursday morning Lee was brought from his cell at the office of the chief of detectives. Ther© he was examined- tot an hour by Chief Lanford, Chief Beavers, City De tectives Black and Rosser, and Harry Scott, the Pinkerton representative. FACTORY GIRLS TO TESTIFY. Coroner Paul Donehoo has announced his intention of summoning practically every woman employe of the National Pencil Factory, and. many of the men, before the jury, which will resume the investigation of the death of little Mary Phagan on Thursday afternoun at 4:30 o’clock. Trouble, expense and inconvenience cannot be considered in making an in vestigation in a case of such paramount importance, the coroner declares, and it is possible that Sume fact of the greatest importance may be developed by thoroughly examining the employes of the factory. Probably some of the girls there have in their possession facts that would lead the detectives directly to the mur derer, yet the girls holding this infor mation may have no idea of Its im portance. Coroner Donehoo told Chief of Detec tives Lanford of his dicision early Thursday and that official immediately offered the coroner two of his men who will serve the subpoenas. According to the present plan the detectives will secure from the manage ment a list of the employes. Their names will be written on the subpoenas, which the detectives will immediately serve. x Repeated rumors that employes of the factory know more than has ever been developed by the officers, has led, it is said, to the necessity of continuing the probe among them. Of especial value is the coroner’s inquest for when the witnesses go be fore it they are placed under oath, and if their stories vary at the trial of any party, who may be indicted for the crime, then the record of the coroner’s investigation may be produced. It is said that there are between sixty and eighty women and about 104 male employes of the National Pencil factory. MAY EXHUME BODY. Coroner Paul Donehoo is considering the advisability of having the body of — Mary Phagan, interred at Marietta! Monday exhumed in order that physi* cians may make an examinaton of th® contents of her stomach. The coroner took the matter up, fol-* lowng a conference with D. G. Buch anan, formerly a sergeant of police aft Augusta. Mr. Buchanan, who Is now in business in Atlanta, advances th® theory that Mary Phagan was drugged early In the afternoon, and that th®^ tying of the cord and piece of her un* dersklrt about her neck was either a* simple “stall” or was done for the,pur pose oT jnoving the body around by someone, who feared that he would! bloody his clothes If he touched It. FRANK REGRETS DELAY. Leo M. Frank, when seen by a Jour nal reporter Thursday morning, said that he has no statement to make until his testimony Is given before the coro ner’s Jury, which will probably be at the afternoon session this Thursday. Mr. Frank said that a complete sten ographic statement had been dictated by him, and that he was anxious to have this before the Jury. He locked worn and tired, but de clared that he regretted the delay and was anxious to have his testimony In troduced as he was confident the ooro-f ner's inquest would completely estab lish his innocence. UNCLE TO AID HIM. It was learned Thursday that Moses Frank, one of the city’s most substantial citizens, is returning to Atlanta today to assist his nephew, L. M. Frank, in establishing his innocenc® of the crime with which his name has been linked by the charge of suspicion. Mr. Frank had started to Europe, but was reached by wire in New. York and immediately started back here, giving up his ourney. L. M. Frank is said to be a favorite nephew and the probable heir to his fortune. The coroner’s investigation of the mur- red of little Mary Phagan at the Nation al Pencil factory Saturday or Sunday, will be resumed at police headquarters at 4:30 o’clock Thursday afternoon, and the principal witness is expected to be L. M. Frank, superintendent of the fac tory, who is being detained by the po lice. *When the inquest, which had been In session from 9 o'clock in the morning adjourned for* the day Wednesday at o’clock, the mystery pf Mary Phagan’s death had not been solved, and the crime was far from fixed on any Individual. Coroner Paul Donehoo expects to hold a long night session Thursday. He fixed the hour for the re-convening of tjie In quest at 4:30 o’clock in order that the city detectives might utilize the entire day In their hunt for evidence which, may tend to throw additional light on th'e factory tragedy. WEDNESDAY'S SESSION. G. W. Epps, a fifteen-year-old newai boy, who says that he lives just around the corner from the dead girl’s residenc® proved one of the most Interesting of the witnesses heard by the coroner's Jury at Wednesday afternoon’s session. Epps, who rode to town with Mary wheit she went to the factory to get her earn-; ings for two days’ labor, was to meeHj her again at 2 o'clock at Five Points,j and they had arranged to watch the Me morial day parade together. Coming in on the car, he declared that! Mary told him that Mr. Frank had wlnk-> ed at her and looked “suspicious.” Shaj requested him, he said, to meet her atf the factory whenever he could. Edgar L. Sentell, of 82 Davis street^ was positive that he saw Mary with a* . male companion on Forsyth street, neaif the factory between 11:30 Saturday even* lng and 12:30 o’clock Sunday morning* They spoke to each other, be said. Sentell was not quite positive that he* companion was Arthur Mullinax, the» former street car conductor. GALIFORNIA WILL TAKE JAP BILL DURING DAY Secretary Bryan Goes to Country to See Conditions Among Jap Farmers SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 1.—When the state senate convened today It ex pected to take up the Webb re-draft of the alien land law bill in the regular order of business without further con ference with Secretary Bryan. Senators Birdall and Thompson, joint authors of the original bill, were con fident that it would pass at once. Mr. Bryan, who returned here from the banquet given him last night in San Francisco by the Panama Pacific Exposition directors, went by automo bile with Governor Johnson for a sight at first hand of conditions as they; exist in one of the Japanese farming j colonies of Sacrarilento county.
