Wouldn't be surprised if this goes back to 1870s or so. Looks like the MSM was complicit even back then:

"The Bohemian Club was organized in the San Fransisco Chronicle office by Tommy Newcombe, Sutherland, Dan O'Connell, Harry Dam, J.Limon and others who were members of the staff."

Are any of these folks part of "The Family"?
