HAS NOT PUT OIL LETTERS
BEFORE LOBBY PROBERS
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.—Thf following is a letter from Mr.
William Randolph Ilearst. in reply to a letter sent to him by Con
gressman Clyde II. Tavenner asking Mr. Ilearst to put the Stand
ard Oil letters before the Garrett lobby investigation committee
in the House of Representatives:
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 5, 1913.
Hon. Clyde II. Tavenner, House of Representatives, Washing
ton, D. C.
My Dear Sir:
Did you write me a letter and make the letter public, ask
ing me to submit all the Standard Oil letters that l have in
my possession to the House committee now investigating the
charges of lobbying made by a certain Mulhall t
I would be very glad to submit again to the Congressional
committee or to any responsible body the Standard Oil let
ters which I have already submitted many times to the public
and to bodies which more or less accurately and sincerely
represent the public.
T would prefer, however, not to submit these Standard
Oil letters in connection with the Mulhall letters and charges
for the simple reason that the Standard Oil letters are very
important to the nation, very serious in their incriminations
and wholly authoritative and genuine, while the Mulhall let
ters and documentary evidence have never appeared to me
especially important or serious or genuine.
The Mulhall letters and charges were offered to one of my
magazines, the one that published the Standard Oil letters, but
the editors of the magazine with ray approval declined to pur
chase or publish the Mulhall documents and confession. The
reason we did not purchase the Mulhall letters was not at all
because of tiie price. That question was not even considered.
The reason we failed to purchase them was because we
had not full_eonfidenee in them. We felt that the more or less
innocent or at least moderate wording of the documents did
not justify the extravagant allegations on which Mulhall based
the documents, and we felt if that any part of Mulhall’s evi
dence or testimony was untrue that all of it was open to sus
picion.
Furthermore, our magazine had just performed what we
had every right and reason to believe a great public service.
We had performed this service with the utmost sincerity and
consciousness and with the most scrupulous care.
We had exposed the corrupting influence of privilege
seeking corporations in polities. We had revealed the con
nection between these corrupt corporations and certain im
portant public officials who were supposed to represent the
■ people in office, but who in reality, prostituted their offices to
serve the illegitimate interests of criminal trusts.
The editors of the magazine were agreed that we did not
wish to diminish or discredit the effect of these genuine reve
lations by the publication of Mulhall’s letters, which seemed
to us less serious and sincere.
The Standard Oil letters can not be denied, because there
always have been additional documents to disprove every de
nial made to confuse and confound every falsifier.
We did not wish our magazine to associate a great public
service and a vital political exposure like this with an extrava
gant series of exaggerated accusations, as the Mulhall confes
sions appeared to us to be, and I would rather not associate
the genuine with the questionable at your Congressional in
vestigation.
Of course, I am expressing only my preference. I can
control the course of my magazine, but 1 do not Seek to control
4 or influence the action of your committee. I shall always be
ready to submit to any sueb committee any such information
I have which can be considered of public interest or impor
tance.
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.

SMmith Says Coast Route Means
Much to South—Senate In
dorses American’s Plan.
The campaign inaugurated by
Hearst’s Sunday American for an all-
Southern highway reaching from At
lanta to San Francisco received an
other boost Thursday when Shelby
Smith, chairman of the Fulton Coun
ty Board of Commissioners, declared
the project to be an epoch in the
progress of the South.
“The proposed highway from At
lanta to San Francisco,” said Mr.
Smith, “is splendid and the most com
mendable movement for good roads
all over the South that has been
launched in recent years. This road
is unlike other roada, for the coast-
to-coast route leads somewhere. In
other words, it has a definite point
as its destination.
“Each State, as well as each town
all along the route, is bound to be
materially benefited by this monster
highway. We have many railroads in
(he United States, hut how many
really good roads have we in pro
portion—roads that could be used if
there were no railroads?
Expects Laws on Topic.
“I repeat that this campaign means
big things, not only for Georgia, but
for the entire South and Southwest,
and I do not hesitate to say I am
more pleased than I can tell to know
that Hearst’s Sunday American has
taken up the movement te push it
through to ultimate succes? ”
Mr. Smith said further that he ex
pected to see great development in
the laws, including the creation of a
State highway commission, as a re
sult of just such definite movements
as proposed by Hearst’s American.
Commissioner Smith’s remarks con
cerning the great highway emphasize
the marvelous Interest manifested in
the campaign which will be inaugu
rated by The American next Monday.
Tuesday Governor John M. Slaton
placed his stamp of approval on the
campaign, and Wednesday morning
the Georgia Senate passed unani
mously a resolution offered by Sena
tor McNeill, of the Twenty-second
District, indorsing the coast-to-coast
project.
All of these expressions of ap
proval are distinctly pleasing to Of
ficial Trail Blazer Ferguson, accord
ing to his statement Thursday.
“We are going to conduct this cam
paign strictly on a scientific basis,”
declared Mr. Ferguson, “and intend
to check up the entire trip in de
tail. so that adequate road maps may
be prepared, to be compared later
preparatory to selecting the very best
route from coast to coast.
“I will carry several instruments,
including a thermometer, which I
shall use to make records daily, in
an effort to demonstrate beyond ques
tion that the South and Southwest
Offer the very best facilities for ex
tended motor touring, such as Is con
templated on this monster transcon
tinental highway.”
To Make Trip in E**y Stages.
Mr. Ferguson declared the trip
would be -nude in easy stages, so thaT
every detail In connection with the
plan for the highway may be exam
ined en route.
Stops will be made in all the prin
cipal towns and cities en route, and
information concerning the promotion
of better roads and interstate high
ways given to those interested. The
first official stop between Atlanta and
Birmingham, the first lap of the long
journey, will be made at Anniston,
Ala.
The official start will be made Mon
day, following a monster parade of
automobiles and motorcycles, includ
ing the private car of the Chief of
Police, the Fire Chief and various city
officials. Plans for this parade were
completed Thursday.

U
Dangerous Crossing
Cause of Injunction
COLUMBUS, Aug. 14 —The city of
Columbus has enjoined the Central of

additional tracks across Eleventh
