FOR HOME INDUSTRY

tion." said the governor, in referring
to the spread, which consisted chiefly
of tlie products of tfce company -which
acted as host to the governor, leading
club women, the members of the recp
tion committee and prominent business
men. "Such affairs will bring closer
together the people in their respective
lines of business. It will help them to
boost eacih other's product*. We should
patronize home Industry and should
look for the California brand on the
article we are going to buy if it is as
pood as the article offered by some
body else.
WAV TO ni'II.O CITY
"The way to build up our city and
to build up our state is to let the
people who want to come here to in
vest know that tnere is a market here
for what they can produce.".
Mrs. J. W. Orr, vice president at
Jarge of the California State Federa
tion of Women's c-Jubs, told of her
pleasure at finding that local companies
were making the employment so agree
able for the girls employed by provid
ing them with clubrooms and aiding
them in their social organization?. She
was sure It was an object lesson to
the employers, as it had been to the
clubwomen. She assured those present
that she would agitate the question of
home industry in the state federation.
Tfce women, she said, are vitally inter
ested In the success of the business in
terests of the city, but in these days
of chopping by telephone they are not
always able to secure California goods.

of the work of creating a pride in Cali
fornia goods, and C. H. Bentley of the
California fruit canners' association
urged that consumers insist on Cali
fornia products, F. L. Parker and R.
L* Dunn, both of the American biscuit
company, expressed their pleasure .at
having The governor and the 'other in
vited guests at the luncheon, and
hoped tfcat this new departure in the
week.lv Iwseheorrs -would do valuable
work in promoting the cause of home
industry.

by the young women of the institution:

President of Institution Passes
Responsibility
KAXSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 25.— Byron
L. Church. 56 years old, a pioneer
farmer and for 20 .years president of
the Bank of Holyrood. at Holyrood.
Kan., was arrested. today, charged with
wrecking the institution.'
Church told how, after years of toil
as a farmer, he had amassed a fortune,
only to lose it in the. world of finance
through irregularities of relatives
whom he -had . placed in positions of
trust. He told of moving to "Holyrood
33 years ago. He became rich and 20
years ago obtained controlling interest
in the town bank. \
"A nephew of mine was made cashier
of the. bank." he. said, "and practically
controlled it. Three years/ago I found
that my. nephew, had been bucking the
grain- market in -Wichita, and Kansas
City, and that he was $65,000 short with
the bank's funds. -He ran. away and I
made the shortage good out of my own
pocket. Then I installed my son.-Max
well Church, as cashier.
"About three months, ago an old.cer
tificate of deposit Issued by my nephew
three years ago came back to the bank
and showed my?sbn ( and I that there
was a farther shortage. I was stag
gered when- I -saw this and concluded
that I would say nothing about it for
a little while, that I might have time in
which to raise the . money and make
it good.*

state bank ' examiner went over our
books and- foand this additional short

.•?an Francisco lodge Xo.-6£ of the in
ternational association of machinists
has received the following on the sub
ject of urging the passage of the -bill
(H. R. 15,441) now before congress that
provides for the eight hour system for
the employes of the federal government,
and there is a s'ngrgestion that every
member be urged to do his best for the
measure and urge each individual to
\u25a0write to some member of congress
urging him to have the bill enacted
into law:
I am sending you these few
Jines to call your attention to the
fa<n xhat this great country of ours
is one of the largest employers of
labor in the world. It gives em
ployment to thousands of" men and
•women in the different departments
of the government and in build
in? the Panama canal, practically
< all of whom of working eight
hours i & day, in accordance, with
thp eight hour law passed in ISS2.
While these men and women di
; reetly jn the employ of the gov
ernment are 'enjoying: the advan
tages of the eight hour work daj%'
there «is a greater number em-.
ployed by the government through
contractors or subcontractors, who
are permitted to satisfy their
greed for profits by compelling
their workers to labor 10 and in
many cases 12 hours a day.
.The government, in the last
analysis, is the . people of whom
you and I. are a part. For my part
(small though it may be), *I be
lieve our government should be a
fair employer." whether it employs
\u0084 Its workers directly or through a i
contractor, and that the -eight hour
work day should be established on
all government work without the
Use of strikes or lockouts, with the
suffering and loss that always go
with them.
' I- am addressing this letter to
you, to request earnestly that you
and all your friends write to *the
men who represent you, and ask "
them to' vote for this bilL Remem
ber that procrastination is the.
thief of time, therefore do. not In
jure the movement by delay. Write
.at once to your United States sen

HAWAII'S GOVERNOR
FAVORS EXPOSITION
Frear Urges Every Inhabitant of
Island to Assist San Fran*
cisco Project
.—. — -
Interest In the Panama-Pacific inter
national exposition, to be held in San
Francisco in 1915, is spreading, not
only throughout the length and breadth
of this country, but also in the island
possessions.
In a recent issue of one of the Hono
lulu daily" papers Governor Frear is
quoted as stating that:
"The Panama-Pacific will be the one
exposition in which Hawaii should
make the greatest display it has ever
attempted. The fact that it is to be
held in San Francisco, our nearest and
best port of communication with the
home country, should appeal to every
inhabitant of the island, spurring them
on to exceed themselves inai< effort,
not only to excel themselves, but also
to excel every state and territory of
the United States making an exhibit."
. Several .letters have been received
within the last few days suggesting
prospective site* and indorsing the
project.' A site in or adjacent to Golden
Gate park appears to meet -with pop
ular favor at the -present time; how
ever, no attempt will be made to choose
a site until the financial campaign is
well under way.

I. V. LYNCH WARNS
MOTOR CAR BUYERS
Says There Will Be a Shortage
of Automobiles Within
Next 90 Days
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
It is hard to believe the glowing ac
counts of the great automobile outlook
for this season that are being brought
back from the east. L. V. Lynch of the
Speedwell motor car company has re
turned, from a visit to the factory and
the Chicago show. In speaking of the j
outlook Lynch says: -
"Within 50 days automobiles win be I
selling; at a premium, at least those of
standard make, as by that time the
season will be open ail over the United
States. Even at the present time they
are beginning to offer bonuses."
While at the Speedwell factory Lynch
saw several letters containing checks
for the full amount for Speedweil cars. >
from individual buyers, who had hoptrd j
to get cars direct from the factory
by this means. These \u25a0 i-hecks were
returned, as the Speedwell factory
has sold its output and the only chance j
a buyer would have of getting a car]
would be through one of the ageats. j
He saw 50 cars awaiting shipment at 1
the factory, that could not be moved on t
account of the lack of railroed facilities.*
He says the conditions In Detroit are
even worse, for he was informed that
there are about 3,500 cars there waiting
to be moved. He saw several shipments
leaving on flatcars only protected by a j
makeshift wooden covering.
Any one expecting to get a delivery
during May will have to place the order
within the next 10 days. Another rea
son for the big increase this year is
the fact that in Texas, Oklahoma, and.
in fact, all through the southwest the
public have begun to take up the auto
mobile enthusiastically. The only hope
that the buyers on the coast have is
the continued bad weather in the east,
which precludes the delivery at this
time. But as soon as spring opens the
dealers in the east will have to be
supplied and coast buyers will have to
take their turn.
At the present time the east is ex
periencing some heavy snowstorms,
and. in fact. Lynch encountered snow
all the -way west until after he came
down the great divide. When he
reached Colfax and the spring- blossoms
and green fields came into view he
thought of what he bad just parsed
through, and could appreciate more
fully what makes life worth living in
California, Before leaving the factory
he saw to the shipment of a- carload of
machines which contains the semiracer,
the close coupled and the torpedo body.
These cars should arrive within the
next 10 days.
Lincoln Beach y, the youngrest aero
laut in the -world. who has made more
>. successful airship
flights than any
other aeronaut, has
V, just come up from
Los Angeles in
two ana a hair days' time in his new
car. equipped with the Goodyear de
tachable tires and rims. He found the
roads in a very bad shape, but he had
absolutely no trouble -with tires. To
look at the tires one -would think they
had not traveled more than 100 miles.
In the Los Angreles aviation meet
Beachy made a record for the diirifrible
airships. He will probably spejnd at
least a month In San Francisco and vi
cinity, leaving for the east at the end
of that time.'

ISSUE INJUNCTION
Judge Sturtevant Rules That
Attempt to Test Liquor 0r»
dinance Is Premature
Judge Sturtevant yesterday refused
to pass upon the validity of the liquor
ordinance in the suit begun by N. B.
Turner, a property owner near the Pre
sidio entrance, to restrain the police
commission from granting licenses for
saloons in that vicinity. He also re
fused to enj-oin the commission from
granting the licenses. f.*VS
"Tour suit is premature — you start
too.far back." Judge Sturtevant told
Attorney J. J. Webb, representing the
plaintiff. "When somebody opens a
saloon out there then it is time for m?
to consider whether an injunction
should be granted, directed against the
"Bat they have laid the foundation
for opening a saloon by applying t->
the commission for licenses'."' arg-ued
-When they lay their foundation by
putting in a bottle or two then you may
seek to enjoin." returned the judgv.
with a smile. %
- \u25a0 Judgf* Sturtevant s«aJd the polic*
commission was a co-ordinate, branch of
the city government, and there was
no power in the superior court to en
join the executive branch from per
forming an executive act.
• "I will not strike at the police com
mission in this proceeding." said hls
honor. "1 will not enjoin talk. I wiU
not enjoin letter writing. I will v.r.t
enjoin the granting .of licenses. But
when you are able- to plfad some overt
act by a salwn keeper that injures thy
property of your client then I will con
sider whetlier the saloon keeper may be
enjoined.**
