AN OLD STORY RECALLED
Mrs. Putnam Bobs Up at Police headquarters
Once More

Mrs frankie Putnam was until a short
time ago quiet, confiding person, but
now she is angry, and declares she will
never trust anybody in future. She
called at the polic3- station yesterday
and asked for assistance in getting her
clothes from the clutches of the Natick
hotel people, who are holding her ward
robe. Size claimed that while in San
Francisco she met Mrs. DR.. r. j. Terry,
an alleged medium who was broke. Mrs.
Terry told Mrs. Putnam that if she
would put up the expenses of the trip
here the doctor would come to Los An
geles and work the town. Mrs. Putnam
says she paid the doctor about $S5 alto
gether. They stopped at the Natick
house, Dr. Terry having agreed to pay
all expenses in the city. They ran be-
hind in their board and the hotel people
seized the baggage of both. Mrs. Put
nam thinks that as DR.. Terry hired the
rooms her baggage should not be levied
on, too. Nothing could be done for her
by the police, and she was advised to go
to the district attorney.
Mrs. Putnam is the same woman who
was connected with Mrs. Wood in con-
Quoting a restaurant at the San Xavier
hotel, on the corner of Seventh and
Broadway some months ago. Mrs Put
nam thought that her husband had de-
serted her, mad unexpectedly disappear
ed, threatening suicide.

TO WIN THE SIXTH DISTRICT

The hands of the political clock are
for Democratic action in Southern Cali
fornia. AS the hour approaches for party
expression in local and state conventions
the skies brighten and Democratic OPP
portunity becomes plain to the dullest
prescience.
In the Sixth congressional district The
Herald is we'll advised of a widespread
disgust and discomfort in respectable
Republican circles with the conscience

represents them. This machine has
foisted upon them congressional can
didate who cannot command their suf-
frages and formulated platform for
them at Sacramento which. for the most
part, they condemn and despise. That
self-respecting Republicans are ripe for
revolt and ready to administer rebuke
TO the party ringmasters admits of no
question. All that is required of the De-
mocracy of this district is the nominal
ton of an honest, capable and untram-
eled candidate to insure his election
next November.
Los Angeles has score Of Democrats

will venture to name few as they come

THAT OUTLET

The mere fact that preparations for
carving out the Broadway tunnel
scheme have been made by the council
affords no reason for pushing it through
in the face of a better plan for affording
an outlet to the northern part of the city.
No actual work has been done on the
Broadway tunnel and yielding the en-
terprise up would involve no loss to the
city. The plan proposed by the Herald
of extending New High street through
to Broadway just north of First street is
so UNNECESSARILY superior to the other
that even though the latter had reached
the stage of contemplation it would
be policy to drop it in favor of the
Herald plan. There is no more danger
of congestion at New High and Temple
than there is at Broadway and Temple,
while the grade throughout the length
of New High is much more agreeable for
traffic than that of the parallel distance
of Broadway. 1t is wholly imnaterial to
the Herald whether the effect OF the
New High street extension is to enhance

Both Republican dailies Of Los Ange-
les are cheerily supporting Mckinley
as a candidate whose views on the finan-
cial issue are in harmony with those
they entertain respectively. The one
boasts of him as friend to silver and the
other lauds him because. as 1t alleges.
he is not a friend to silver. Each quotes
from the verbal or written outgivings
OF William Of the-tariff, uttered in the
long ago, to prove that its conception Of
his financial attitude is the correct one.
The discordant Republican duet that Is
now under way in Los Angeles is being
repeated all over the country to the dis
traction of the public. And Mckinley
says not a word, but preserves deep
and dignified silence as to what he really
thinks now about the issue between the

those with whom she crossed the plains.
The paper was intensely interesting and
thrilling. Mrs. Mary Bowman told OF
other early immigrants, and owing to
the unavoidable absence of Mrs. John T.

read by Mrs. Houghton. which related
more particularly to extracts from the
