LOS ANGELES DEMOCRATS.
Boss Buckley Defeated in the County Central
Comm Htee-A Motion to adjourn
Goes 7hrouqh.

LOS ANGELES, Call, May 16.-Owing
to the presence in this city of Chris
Buckley of San Francisco, who, it had been
declared, had everything fixed to con-
troll not only the Democratic primaries in
this county, but those of all Southern Cali
fornia great interest attached to the meet
ing of the Democratic County Central
Committee to-day.
At the forenoon session Secretary Ram
ish rendered his resignation, which was
accepted, and a recess taken until P. NJ.
The country mem bers were conspicuous
by their absence. The burning question
of the hour related to the forthcoming
primaries-whether they should be held
by wards or precincts.
General c. F. A. Last, George S. Patton,
William r. Burke, Abbott Kinney, VIII
Z. Harris, Councilman NJ. P. Snyder, Tom
McCaffry and other waf-horses among the
Democracy were early in the hall and in
consultation with their associates. Buck
ley was not present in person, but some of
his friends were and watched the pro-
ceedings closely.
After the roll was called and 1t was
found that sixty-fve mem bers were pres
ent in person or by proxy, George S.
Patton moved that the committee adjourn
for one week. He said he made the
motion because many members had not
teen notified; there was confusion about
the place of meeting and comparatively
few delegates were present from the
country.
Patton spoke of the gratultous presence
OF Buckley in the city, and intimated that
pins had been set up to prevent free ex.
preston of opinion.
McCaffry demanded a rollcall on the
motion, and dozen members were on
their feet. all talking at once Patton told
McCaffry, "of the Arcade depot" as he
deslgnates him, that if the country had a
week to prepare in it would give him COM
plete defeat. Several points of order were
made, and before the roll was called Pat
tor withdrew his motion to make en-

ON STANF0RO'S DIAMOND.
Faculty Members Practicing for

Seniors.
They Are Regaining Old.Time Form
and May Surprise the Younger
Mn

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nav
16.-Professor Nathan Abbott, head of the
law department here, was suddenly called
East yesterday to the bedside of his
mother, who is very i'll. His classes have
about completed the semester's work and
will probably be dismissed. A thorough
law course is to be given here this year as
part of summer school work. All the
courses are much more complete for the
summer work this year than ever before.
The trackmen are at work each evening
and are all in pretty fair condition at the
present time. There is talk of holding a
field day next Saturday, though on ac-
count of the faculty-senior baseball game
there may be change.
The faculty members are practicing on
the diamond, getting into shape for the
annual game with the senior class and
working off the stiffness induced by class
room and desk work. Several OF the
"profs." are fine players, and their work
is watched with great interest by the stu
dents. Nearly all the mem bers of the
faculty team have been members of COL
lege teams, and haven't been off the dia-
mond so long but that they can wear the
rust off with few afternoons work
Professor Angel of the psychological
department is the crack man of the team,
but DR.. Jordan is not far behind him, and
before the doctor had to wear glasses he
could outbat any man on the team. He
has ''lost his eye" as he expresses it, and
necotiates base hit but rarely.
Professor Richardson of the chemistry
department is catcher and played that
position for Lehigh. He is very sure and
it is dangerous work to attempt to steal
second on him. Professors Murray,
Young, Wing, Fish and Hoskins are ali
good helders. Professor Fish is an ex-
Cornell pitcher and will fill the box here
for the faculty.
The Glee and Mandolin clubs are to give
concert in San Francisco during the
coming week for the benefit of the track
fund. most enjoyable concert was
given here last evening by the clubs.
This afternoon the Stanford diamond
was occupied by two school teams-one
from the Berkeley Primary School and the
other from the Palo Alto Primary School.
About 1000 schoolboys were on hand to
cheer their respective representatives., and
it has been long time since the campus
| rang SO loudly with the high trebles of
coming collegians. Both mines were
| heavy batters and both played good ball
for young amateurs. The Palo Alto team
won by score of Is to 10.

THE sTREETCAR EYE.
A Nervous Affection of the Eyes Which
Is Becoming Common.

One of the commonest nervous affections
of the eye is produced by continuous rid
ing in streetcars. That is what the ocul-
lists say. Some streetcars run their seats
lengthwise and therein lies the difficulty
Some day as you are riding downtown
wa tch the movement of the eyes of the
man across from you. He is gazing out
of the window. possibly reading the
signs of the business houses Just to kill
time. First his eyes glance ahead of the
car fall on the sign and as the car passes
by his eyes turn back. Then they shoot
ahead again.
Sometimes this constant shifting of the
eye up and down the street is very rapid,
as passenger watches the people on the
sidewalk. In half an hours ride his eyes
will have twiched back and forth with
continuity that brings on fatigue. But he
keeps it up to the end of the ride, and
later in the afternoon wonders why his
eyes are tired and why they water.

This precipitated another scene of wild
