M'CARTHY CALLED
TO PROVE LIBEL
Judge Shortall Overrules De
raarrer lo Complaint Against
Statements In The Call
Labor Union Candidate for
Mayor Denies Having Attend
ed Conference With Burke
Police Judge Shortall yesterday over
r^led the demurrer to the complaint
cf P. H. McCarthy charging the pro
prietor, general manager and manag
ing editor of The Call with criminal
libel, and in his capacity of committing
rsagistrate began hearing the testi
mony on which McCarthy expects to
have the defendants held for trial in
the Bup*>rior court.
P. H. McCarthy, the complaining wlt
cees, as well as Michael Casey, com
missioner of public works, and County
<:ierk Harry I. Mulcrevy, swore that
they had not attended the conference,
.tho new* of which, published in The
Call, is the basis for McCarthy's com
plaint.
Walter O'Connell, business agent of:
th« building trades council and a mem
ber of the conference committee which
•elected McCarthy as the union labor
candidate for mayor, testified to the
interpretation which an ordinary news
paper reader would place upon the al
leged iibelous article.
WITNESSES ARE ABSE.VT
"McCarthy expected to call two other
witnesses at the session in the police
.court yesterday afternoon — Jere Burke,
the chief lieutenant of Political Boss
Herric. and State Senator Thomas F.
Finn, the two 'who were named as
having attended the conference with
McCarthy, Casey and Mulcrevy. Burke
begged °ff on the score of important
business, while Finn failed to obey the
subpena. Both are expected to take
• the stand when the hearing is re
sumed at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
In overruling the demurrer inter
posed by Attorney Walter Bacon for
th»» -defendants. Judge ShortsJl declared
that he recognized some of the defects
• pointed 'out_ by counsel, but considered
that it covered the ground sufficiently.
. .CASEY SEEMS AMUSED
Th<> reading of the alleged libelous
article by Attorney Bacon in the course
of his argument afforded Michael Casey
si great deal of amusement. He smiled
and smiled, and \u25a0when he heard him-;
s*lf described as "the creature of a
reform administration" he shook with
qui«>t laughter. McCarthy - took the
matter more seriously, deigning to
BxnUe only st rare intervals.
Baron pointed out that Attorney 1
Dam, representing McCarthy, did not,
f*>Tn to understand the pleading neces- \
fsry in a case of libel. He argued;
that the article complained of was not
iibeioug -on its face, and that, under
faction 550 of the penal code, exposi
tion of the libelous matter t was neces
sary.
OBJECTION TO COMPLJLIJfT "
""This complaint." he said, "is open to
th* serious objection that ft has an
innuendo without an ."adequate, state
ment of facts." ...\u25a0--"„ - - -.-W
Bacon declared that it. was not;_li
b'lous to state that a combination be
tween the republican machine and the
. .union labor party had been attempted,
unless it could be proved that the re
publican machine was in bad odor.
sr.d also that it would be discreditable
to .affiliate with it- He pointed out
that there was nothing in the com
plaint covering this vital matter.
"There are- no facts stated," he said;
"only a conclusion, and I submit that
w#» can not go to trial on a conclu
sion." .
Bat-on showfcd that owing to the de
fective drawing of the complaint. In so
far as a sufficient "inducement" was
concerned, it would be necessary for j
the complaining witness to prove the
innuendo, and he cited authorities to
chow that an Innuendo is not suscep
tible of proof.
IJLEADIX; HELD SUFFICIENT
When Judge Shortall held that the
charge of libel was based on the state
ment that McCarthy had been a party
to a conference with an agent of the
republican machine. Bacon called at
tention to the fact that the complaint
contained nothing which would Indl
<at<? that the combination sought for
in this conference would have been a
bad thing.
"For all we are allowed to learn
from this complaint." declared Bacon,
"there Is nothing to show that such a
combination would not have been the ,
best thins in the world for McCarthy
and the union labor party. Elections
are commonly won by such combina
tions."
DAJI QUOTES DICTIONARY
At this point Judge Shortall admit
ted that the pleading might have been
much better, but : added that he
.thought It sufficient.
Attorney Dam commenced his rebut
tal by reading Webster's definition of
the word "plot." a term which "was
used in the headlines of the article.
He started out to show that McCarthy
lied practically been called a conspir
ator, when Judge Shortall interrupted
him for . the purpose of overruling the
demurrer
Both parties expressing: their desire
L to £o ahead with the hearing of wit
nesses, John w. Burrows, cashier of
The Call, was called to the stand. Bur
rows* testimony was needed to prove
the publication of the alleged, libelous
article, but Attorney Bacon objected to
the line of questions put by Dam. It
was finally agreed .: that exception*
should be noted to all questions deemed
objectionable by the defense and that
the answers should be admitted, sub
ject to the right to strike out later on.
McCarthy dexies iat^erview
McCarthy took the stand to deny
' - iat he had been present at the con
rrence described in The Call as hav
"ng.occurred on May 10. Then Casey
_/*%i-a«'" called. He admitted that he knew
Burke, but declared that he knew
McCarthy was not present at the con
>ren<*e alluded to because he himself
*>&d not been there. After Casey had
.ntangled this peculiar logic. Mulcrevy
ollowed. also admitting that he knew
j>re Burke, but denying: that he had
attended the conference in question. ",
Walter O'Connell. business agent of
the' building - trades council, was the
last, witness.. Called, to explain the
depth of heinousness which he, as a
newspaper reader and a union lat*or
man. attached to the charge made
against McCarthy, he proved a well
schooled witness and gave his answers
with an academic' correctness and a
sober demeanor which were thoroughly
satisfactory to the complaining witness.
O'Connell explained what he thought
th« article meant and added that know-
In? McCarthv.-a.B- he did,; he could not
believe - that he had attended such a
-***>nf«?rence; especially as McCarthy had
Hi' o nied having been present.- He added
Tat the charge was extremely, detri
mental. ' not only to P. H.T.. McCarthy.'
but to" union" labor m general, tending
to show, if true.: that McCarthy was a
traitor to organized labor. . #i i

WILL BID HOTELMEN
OF WORLD TO CITY
James Woods Will Go East and
Plan Special Train for
Portola Festival
Unique Plan to Be Carried Out
by Manager of the St.
Francis Hotel
With credential* from Governor GH
lett and Mayor Taylor, James "Woods,
manager of the St. Francis hotel, will
leave for the east tomorrow morning as.
speciaj commissioner of the Portola
festival. He goe« on a unique mission,
for he will undertake to bring the hotel
men of the world to San Francisco for
the carnival next October. If his plan
succeeds, and he has high hopes that it
will, he will arrange for -a special train
to run across the continent from the
Atlantic to the Pacific to bring the most
powerful and influential men ,of the
hotel world. The train is to be the
most elegantly appointed that has ever
traveled the tracks.
Woods will be the second commis
sioner to go forth in the interests of
the Portola festival. To C. C. .Moore
has been entrusted the important tank
of obtaining the co-operation of the
foreign nations through the . presence
h«re of war vessels from their navies.
He ha.s met with great encouragement
and has enlisted the aid of the state
department. The plan which Woods
will endeavor to bring to fruition will
call him to alt the large eastern cities
and to the capitals of Europe.
WOODS THE BEST MAN I
Himself a hotelman of long experi
ence in New York, Woods was selected
for the task because of his acquaint
ance with men that the festival com
mittee desires to Invite. He has not
made definite promises, but has stated
his belief that the project is feasible.
If the hotelmen of Xew York express a
willingness to come Woods Is , of the •
opinion that the others will join. He
will therefore de\*ote his initial effort*
to work In the city of New York. \u25a0
"San Francisco^is the greatest hotel
city in the world In proportion to its
population," said Woods yesterday. "It
Is to the interest of these A men to
come. I think they will see that- I
shall endeavor to convince them that
It Is."
It is the intention to ask the pro
prietor-managers of the big hostelries.
They are all men of large means and
not only will they be shown San Fran
cjsco, but they will be afforded an op
portunity to see the «ntlre state. The
train in which it is proposed they shall
journey will be remarkable not only
for Its elgance, but it will be in every
particular "a hotel special." Aside from
the engineer and firemen, the special
will be manned as a h©tel. There will
be a chief clerk from one of the big
eastern houses, bellboys in place 6f
porters, a noted chef in charge of the
kitchen, hotel waiters in the dining
room, and staff assistants in every de
partment from hotels throughout the
country. Even the stenographers on
th« train will be those from noted ho
tels and the telephone board will be
operated by a "central** from a hotel
exchan ge.
"If I can interest the New Yorkers,
the work will be more than half done,"
said Woods. "It will be my intention
to get such men to join the excursion
as Mr. Boldt of the Waldorf -Astoria,
Mr. Weatherbee'of th« Manhattan, Mr.
Ham of the St. Regis, Mr. , Sterry of
the Plaza, Mr. Batea of the Belmont,
Mr. Regan of the Knickerbocker, Mr.
Muschenheim of the A»tor, - Mr. Bau
mann of the Holland, Mr. Woolley of
the Marie Antoinette, and Mr. Sweeney
of the Victoria and Marlborough. If
they are agreeable, the men of the
other eastern cities "and of the big
European hotels will certainly co-oper
ate.
EUROPE WILL TRAIL XEW YORK
"If New York is with us. I know that
London. Paris. Berlin and other big Eu
ropean cities will fall in line. The Eu
ropean, hotelmen - know the value of
their American trade, and I do not be
lieve they will hesitate to, make the
trip.
"I exp«ct the railroads to co-operate,
so that we have a train of splendid
equipment. We will start from New
York as we travel and pick up the
hotelmen of such cities as Boston, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Buf
falo. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit,
Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans,
Denver. Salt-iLake City, and the cities
of the Pacific coast. It is our plan that
there shall be no sections on the train,
but rooms. Ev«rT^member of \u25a0 the ex
cursion will be assigned to a room by a
head clerk who will be in charge. In
fact, in; every particular it will be a
hotel special. ; . - ,
"As we cone' westward we can stop
at the big cities and visit the big
hotels. At' each city we; can, take _ on
provisions or have special dishes pre
pared for which the city is famous. \u25a0
"I would have each man bring his
family and make the .trip one of enjoy
ment for aIL We. would not only \u25a0, be
able to show them, the^ new city of San
Francisco, bu t • the train could » tour . the
state so that the visitors might ' see for
themselves the glories of California." ',-r :
