Griffith, who. on July 1. will succeed B. S. Jos selyn. president of the company Mr. Griffith returned yesterday from a visit - to New Vork. Philadelphia and other Kastern cities. "Business in the East Is Improving." said Mr. Griffith, who is attorney for the company, "and I expect the pros perity that is everywhere evident In that part of the country soon will spread to the Pacific Coavt. In fact I look for pronounced improvement in the local situation before the end of the Summer." While in Washington Mr. Griffith ap peared before the United States Su preme Court and argued tbe case of the Milwaukie commuters who are seeking to enforce a 5-cent fare be tween the city and Portland. Public Xow Arrepts Receipts. The case has been carried to the highest court on the contention made by Mr. Griffith for the company that the Slate Railroad Commission, in seek Ing to require the company to carry passengers between Milwaukie and Portland for 5 cents Is requiring the company to utilize Its property with out compensation. The city ordinances provide for a 5-cent fare within the city limits. Milwaukie is outside the city. Pending a final decision In the case the people are paying the usual 10-cent fire between Portland and Mil waukie but are accepting receipts. If the case Is decided against the com pany these receipts will be rebated for differential between the present Tare and the S-cent fare. It Is estimated that about 123.000 worth of receipts now are neid ty the public. Mr. Griffith went into conference yesterday with other officials of the company relative to the various Im provements now in progress here. He was particularly interested in the East fiae. cross-town line and In the new Una on Broadway. Promises to Be Fulfilled. "We will do exactly what we prom ised on the East Side." he said. "We are ready to proceed with the work there as soon as the necessary legal and other requirements have been met. There Is no disposition on the part oi our company to delay work or to delay giving service. "We will proceed with the work on Broadway as quickly as possible. I sup pose that it Is pretty generally under stood that the pending application foi franchise for standard-gauge cars over the new Broadway bridge will make a material difference In the time of completing the work. It will be -necessary for us to order new equipment and new material If the broad-gauge line is to be built on Broadway and it will take a lot of time to get it-. "It is useless for anyone to point out that we can give Immediate service over the bridge when we are unable to make satisfactory connection on either side of the bridge. We don't accomplish anything by carrying peo ple over the bridge If we can't take them anywhere after we get them across." Mr. Griffith seems enthusiastic ovei business prospects in Portland, in plte of some of the unfavorable indication that have been apparent recently. Eateasloa to Be Built.

On account of the alleged pernicious activity of attorneys and individuals calling themselves "locatlnB; agents" In seeking to direct homeseekers to the Southern Pacific lands In Western Ore gon recently declared forfeited by Judge Wolverton. officials of the Gen eral Land Office htrs Issued a general warning to the public to pay no loca tion fees or to take any other steps toward securing title to any of these properties. Even should the decision of Judge Wolverton be sustained by the higher courts, these lands will not be open for Immediate settlement under the homestead law or under any other law until some action is taken by Con gress. L. L. Sharp, chief of the fleld division of the General Land Office, yesterday branded all assertions being made by any persons pretending to be agents of the lands Involved In this suit as fraud ulent and advised all prospective in vestors to refrain from negotiating with them. "A letter dated May 10, 1913. has been received by me from the'Commissioner of the General Land Office, In which my special attention is called to the pro visions of the act of August 20, 1912, wherein it is expressly provided that the lands embraced in this grant shall not be subject to entry or to the initia tion of any right whatever under any of the public land laws of the United States," said Mr. Sharp. "The Commis sioner desires that the attention of the public be called to the provision of the said act in order that persons may not be deceived in attempting settlement on these lands, assuming that they could secure title provided the decree of the lower court is flnaliy sustained. "Considerable difficulty is being ex perienced by the representatives of the Government in protecting prospective land claimants with honest intentions from the numerous alleged land locat ors who are commercializing the desire of such people to acquire a home. The fraud practiced by these locators upon their victims cannot be reached under any Federal statute, unless they have used the mails In accomplishing their purpose, which thew very rarely do. Any representation by a locator or an attorney to the effect that any rights might be acquired by the tender of the purchase price to a railway company, by the filing of notice of settlement in the County Recorder's omce, or by the taking of any other similar action, is a misrepresentation and should be so treated."

S. Hald to recover 120,000. In his apology Hald says that he has no remembrance of saying anything derogatory about Beach or anything which could be distorteu, but If he did, it was unintentional and he is sorry.

ADMEN G(IG SOUTH Joseph Blethen, President Seattle Club, in Town. of HUTCHINS' WORK PRAISED Change of Time In Service. North Beach Effective Saturday, May 17, steamer Harvest Quean will leave Portland. Ash Street Dock, daily, except Sun day at 9:30 P. M.. Instead of dafly except Saturday as neretorore. Politics In Pacific Coast Admen's Association Points to E. K, Hoak, of Los Angeles, as Keit President.. Joseph Blethen, president of the Pa cific Coast Advertising Men's Associa tlon, came down from Seattle yester day on his way to the Sacramento con ventlon. He will remain here today to complete arrangements for combin ing the Seattle delegation with the Portland and Spokane crowd on the Sacramento special tonight. Mr. Blethen will preside at the' Sacramento conven tion, and will make formal response to the address of welcome to be deliv ered by Governor Hiram Johnson, of California. Mr. Blethen last week was re-elected president of the Seattle Ad Club, which office he has held three times in former years. "We're all back In the reconstructed Times building, bigger and better than ever,- with the Are of February 13 marked off as a forgotten episode," said Mr. Blethen at the Oregon last evening. "I suppose the boys thought I'd have an easy time from now on, so passed the Ad Club gavel back to me. It means a lot of work, but It's good work. It builds business character and boosts for Seattle. Fire Proves Paper's Worth. "Speaking of the fire, I venture the statement that few of my Portland friends know that the fire came to our building from the Denny building next to us, which suffered by far the greater destruction. It has cost us some money. but It proved our worth as an institu tion. We did not miss an issue in all those trying weeks. We've rebuilt the third and fourth floors and the roof. and have much better facilities and quarters than before." According to Mr. Blethen, the Seattle Potlatch will be but four days long this Summer.' There will be fewer events than last year, but each will be bigger and more costly than the corre sponding event of former seasons. Mr. Blethen, who was president of the Pot latch last year, is chairman of the pub licity committee this year under Presi dent Walter F. Foster. Politics in the Pacific Coast Ad Men's Association points to E. K. Hoak, of Los Angeles, as the next president, ac cording to Mr. Blethen, and one of the ocean resorts near that city as the con vention place. Carnival Work Praised. Mr. Blethen bad a good word for the work done for the associated carnivals of the whole Coast, under Secretary Hutchln, of the Portland Rose Show. "The southern Coast has a great tourist traffic, and deserves more," he said. "We of the north Coast Port land, Tacoma, Seattle and the British Columbia clties have but little, and are out to win much. We will not rival California, only supplement It. Cali fornia in the Winter, the north Coast in the Summer, that's our game, and 'Hutch' Is on the right track. "This tourist crop is the only one in the world that does its own financing. It can be added to all the natural and acquired resources of the north Coast, and be made very, very profitable. It's a part of the great movement to 'See America First.' " MORE ADMEX ARE COMIX G Spokane Delegation to Be First One to Arrive Here Today.
