Registrar Hinton said last evening that
as far as he knew there was nothing in
the story published in an evening paper
that an average of ten suffers had been
found in each OF the precincts of the
Forty-third District.
He stated that there might be that num-
Der of doubtful names reported by precinct
registration officers, but that many were
merely through innocent errors and would
be permitted to vote. In some instances
voters had negligently registered in the
wrong precinct, while in others the mis-
spelling OF names caused them TO be
classed as doubtful.
The large number on the doubtful list
was occasioned by the following circular
issued oy Registrar Hinton several days
ago:
To the Boards Of Precinct Registrdtion-G
MEN: Your especial attention is called TO that
portion of section %. Act OF March 1S, 1873,
which directs Boards OF Precinct Registration
Ito carefully examine and revise the names
OF voters upon their several precinct regis
ters, and 10 ascertain If such are the names of
legal voters, properly on said precinct regis
ters, and entitled to vote in said precinct"
l shall not feel authorized TO sign the de-
mands of officers unless satisfied that this
fully, w. NJ. HINTON, Registrar.
The closing paragraph caused the
boards to exercise extraordinary care, and
many slight Irregularities that in years
past would not have been noticed were re-
sponsible for names going on the doubtful
list

worth of notes and mortgages executed to

he will change the words ''gold coin" to

Ex-Governor says he is not money
lender, and he repels the insinuatlon, be
cause it is opprobrious, criminal and

He says: For forty years 1 have spent

result of the gold standard policy 1t is un-
safe to do so any longer. The notes were

Los ANGELES, CAL. Aug. 12.-The
campaign committee of the Los Angeles
Woman Suffrsgists is waging vigorous
and persistent campaign of education
among all classes of voters. The parlor
meetings have been remarkably well at
tended. and the movement is growing and
gaining strength day by day. Precinct
organizations are being effected in every
nart OF the county with the most fiattering
results. At meeting of the committee
Yesterday the following resolution was
adopted:
ResoIred. THAI inasmuch as women are not
vet voters. aud as it viii require every energy
they possess or can summon from this time
until next November to make them such, we
deem IL extremely unwise for them to identify
themselves with political parties by forming
political cubs.
II was decided, however, that com nit
tee be appointed to secure opportunities
for PRESENTING the matter of woman SUI
frage TO the several political parties.

PEDDLERS ASSISTANTS.

Judge ConIan Decides That They Dc
Not Require a License.
A test case affecting peddlers was tried
before Judge Conlan yesterday. P. Morri:
and Isadore Smith were char ged with PED
ding without license and attorneys Nc.
Gregor and Kenny, who defended them
raised the question that as they were
merely laborers employed by a peddIer
who held license it was not necessary
for hem to have license also.
The Judge, after listening to the argu--
ments. decided that the point was well
taken. He held that the license ordinance
never contemplated that assistants en-
ployed by a licensed peddler should be
compelled to take out a license. He there
fore dismissed the cases.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, Aug. 1.-THE BIZ
cycle races here to-day were postponed be-
cause of a muddy track. In point of
numbers the league parade was one of the
largest that has ever occurred in the his
tory of the league. Fully 5000 wheelmen
were in line. The parade was through the
principal streets, and ended in a grove out
on Jacob Park Boulevard, where a water.
melon feast had been prepared. Two
bandsaws, operated by steam, were used
to slice the melons to supply the 5000 peo-
pie who were waiting for them.

Dillon, who is popularity supposed to have
the Congressional nomination OF the Pop
ulists in his vest pocket, is likely to meet
with the surprise of his life at San Luis
Obispo on the 18th inst. The friendIiness
of the railroad toward Dillon's candidacy
has been used against him during the past
few days with great effect. Several candi-
dates have expressed willingness to stand
for the nomination, among them Z. M.
WardaIl, chairman OF the State Central
Committee of the party; W. c. Bowman.
who made the race against McLachlan
and Patton two years ago; Professor a. R.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Aug. 2l.-Regis-
tration closed here Monday at midnight.
More than 900 names were enrolled, which
is an increase of 500 over the register of
1894. Old Narcio Sebastin, who claims
to be So years old, attempted to register
late Monday afternoon. He claimed TO
have been naturalized in this county forty
years ago, but close search of the records
failed to prove his assertion and he sadly
returned TO the county farm shorn of his
glory as the Oldest voter in the county.

An attempt was made In Judge Lows
court yesterday to get jury to try the
case of John Maher, one of the men ar
rested on the barge Yolo while making

who were all in court, again asked the
Judge to accept bonds for them, as they
were urgently in need of the cash bail de-
posted. He agreed to furnish satisfactory
bondsmen. The Judge consented.

Two Warm Favorites Fail to
Beat Their Fields to the
Judges Stand.
THE TALENT LOSES HEAVILY.
Blue Bell Wins Running Dash From
a Collection of Fairly Coed
Ones.

WILLOWS, CAL, Aug. 12.-The second
day of the race meeting showed much
larger attendance al the track than on the
opening day and the character of the sport
witnessed cannot do otherwise than make
the fair a great success. Visitors to the
track to-day all had their betting clothes
on and traffic with the pool was OF
the liveliest sort The way of the talent,
though, was by no means strewn with
roses, for they went down hard on the
opening event-the 2:19 trot. There were
only five starters, and Nutwood Wilkes,
who won off the reel at Petaluma from the
| same company, was prohibitive favorite,
being barred in the betting. It was
limited previous to the race that one of his
| legs was under suspicion, and after being
beaten out the first heat by Myrtle Thorn
in 2:1914, he was allowed to be drawn by
the judges, being scarcely able to hobble
to his stable.
The 2:15 pace was another bombshell
that exploded in the camp of the specu-
| lative fraternity with disastrous results.
| Colonel Benton, accredited with rafting
| off all sorts of fast miles in private trials,
was an odds-on favorite, but failed to take
q heat. Previous to the final heat his
driver, Crawford, was removed from the
bike by the judges and Nc Manus substi-
stuffed, but it worked no material change,
! for he barely saved his istance, making
! bad break at the second turn.
! Archer Stephensons good mare Blue
| Bell took the running dash, starting a
warm favorite, and the wise ones evened
up their losses.
