 FOR SHERIFF WILL NOT BE
 COUNTED OUT. COngratulates the People for Their Bold Stand and Determina- ton to Strike Down
 Election Frauds.
THE CALL AND
 THE ANSWER

We, the undersigned Democrats, with sincere belief in the tenets and teachings of our party, with unalloy- ed loyalty and unabated zeal for it's success and the triumph of it's prin- cip.es, and a sincere desire for the preservation of ar honest party-a part that has always appealed to the principles and patriotism of it's ad- herents and that has held a reputa- tion unsullied from the days of it's founder, Thomas Jefferson-in the interest of. that party and fair play, the rule of the people and honest elections, we respectfully urge and appeal to you to become an independent Democratic candi- date tor Sheriff at the September election, as against the alleged and so-called nominee, one Fl. 4. Mccoy, who, by machinations and a parti- san committee, partly made up of proxies held by his attorneys, per- yerted and prostituted the votes of the people, and declared him the nominee.
 We would further submit that the said Mccoy is not now nor never has been the nominee for Sheriff by the Democracy of Jefferson county, but has been declared the nominee by 8 partisan committee, controlled by proxies in the hands of partisans, who for the purpose ot accomplish ing their own ends, resorted to such shameful tactics and un-Demucratic methods as were calculated to shock the moral sense of the con- munity, endanger the future success of our party, and to seriously re- fleet upon the honor and good name of our people.
 The liberties of our people and the future of our County are involved. If such outrageous methods are tol- erated and allowed to go unrebuked, the future of our party is in danger. Honest Democrats will leave the party, disruption will ensue. our material progress willbe retarded, the peace and tranquility of the commu- nity will be disturbed, and the bless ings of a peaceful and happy govern ment will be lost. There is q limit to all things, and halt to unscru- pulous ring methods should be called in the very beginning. The fair name of our county. and the fame of our party demand that such methods be firmly and effect lively rebuked.
 Recognizing your ability and fit- ness for the office, and your aGher- ence to principle and right. we call upon you to submit your name 10 the voters of Jefferson county for 1 Sheriff, and in doing SO pledge our support and such other aid as may
 be necessary to the end that such methods as characterized the Mccoy campaign may be rebuked, and the good name of our county and the
 party forever preserved. To this end your petitioners in duty bound will ever pray, etc.

Throws His Strength
to n. E. Wright.
ALL OVER BUT THE SHOUTING
THE SPEAKERSHIP QUESTION
PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
Reasons Given by the Southern
Californian for His Retire
ment From the
Contest.

The question Of who viii be Speaker
Of the next Assembly was practically
settled yesterday, when L. H valen-
tine Of Los Angeles withdrew from the
contest in favor Of Howard E. Wright
of Berkeley.
Though Wright's strength has been
patent to those interested in his candi-
dacy the fact of Valentines withdrawal
was nevertheless somewhat of a sur
prise to the friends of both gentlemen.
AS a member Of the last Assembly Mr..
Valentine made an enviable record as
a legislator, and his reelection to the
seat by a handsome majority was fit
ting evidence of the manner in which
his services at Sacramento were appre-
ciated at home. When he announced,
soon after the election, his candidacy
for the Speakership members of the
Los Angeles delegation and others
pledged him their support. He was
considered as the one formidable com
petitor with which Wright would have
to contend, and it was not until to-day
that he decided to retire from the con-
test and throw his strength to his OPP
ponent.
Mr.. Valentine arrived In this city
Yesterday from his home in Los Ange-
les. When asked for his reasons for
withdrawing his candidacy for the
Speakership he said
MANY things have combined to In
duce me to surrender whatever claim
| may have to the honor OF being
Speaker of the Assembly. First OF all
is my interest in the candidacy of r.
n. Bulla for United States Senator.
The Los Angeles delegation and many
other Southern California Legislators
are pledged to Senator Bulla, and
should my candidacy for the Speaker
ship provoke a contest between my
friends and the friends of any other
candidate for the position the result
might be prejudicial to Senator Bulla
l do not mean to say that such would
be the result, but l am so much In
terested with others of the Los Ange-
les delegation, in securing his election
TO the high position to which we believe
he is entitled that / hesitate to enter
into any contest, however friendly, that
by any possibility could work him ar
injury.
still another reason, and a very
strong one, for my withdrawal at this
time is that l have a lively apprecia-
ton of the part. Alameda County has
taken in the campaign just closed
Notwithstanding the fact that her can
didate for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton was opposed by a citizen OF Los
Angeles and that he withdrew In favor
of that gentleman, Alameda County
stood solid for Henry T. Gage on cleo
ton day and rolled up a majority in his
favor that entities her to the honor OF
being the banner Republican County OF
the State. Now that one of her favor
tie sons seeks the position of Speaker
of the lower house of the Legislature

breakfast was disposed of, and with a
shout of enthusiasm lined up for the
morning practice. The greater part OF
the time was given over to signal work
but during the last ten minutes the haro-
est kind of practice was played.
IN the afternoon the team played again,
this time for regular practice. The Of
fensive work lacked harmony and unity.
There was a slowing down of the backs,
who did not get into the play fast enough
to suit the coaches. The defensive work
was much better and more satisfactory.
In the practice Gilman sprained his an
kle, but not seriously. No other injuries
occurred. Freeman is recovering slowly
from his disocation of the shoulder. The
coaches are reticent about the certainty
of his playing in the game on Thursday.
He did not play to-day and will not be on
the field before the intercollegiate game
From present indications it Is the inten-
ton of the coaches to play him Thurs

Their Unusual Interest in the Pro-

ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXPOSE
FOUR. ELDERLY MEN UNDER
WATCHFUL EYES.

Matters progressed quietly yesterday IN
the trial of Elsie Williams, Grace Loose
and Myron Azhderian, charged with ex-
tortion. Vague rumors We're current that
gold was being freely circulated, either
by the defense or prosecution, it mattered
not which to the sensationalists, and an
expose was likely to occur at any mo-
ment.
Four old men, all respectable in ap-
pearance, and bearing no outward or Wis
ible signs of dishonesty, were under the
eye of the officers of the court all day.
These men Cwho they are no one appar-
emily knows) have drawn the shafts of
suspicion toward them by reason of the
fact that they are interested in the trial.
That is all. Since the courtroom opened
on the first morning of the proceedings
these men have sat and, with hands to
ears. have digeSted every word OF argu-
ment, testimony and ruling. This is why
suspicion is directed toward them. They
watch every movement of Judge, counsel
and prisoners keep their specialized eyes
on the jury when it leaves the room,
and in fact, take unusual interest In all
the official movements. This is the ree-
son suspicion is directed against them,
and it is the only reason.
Mrs. Elsie Williams was again subject
ed to a rigid cross-examination yesterday.
About the only fact that developed was
that Mrs. Williams did not live with New
ills for gain alone. She loved Nevills, she
said, for many months, but when he be-

CAST HER DEAD
BABY into A
GARBAGE CART
Awful Discovery at
the Crematory.
AN UNKNOWN MOTHERS DEED
SOUGHT TO RID HERSELF oFTHE
BODY OF HER CHILD.
A Richly CARRIED Infant Found in a
Pile of Refuse Just as It Was
About to Be Inciner-
ated.

While attending to his duties at the
garbage crematory at the foot of Eighth
street last evening William Cronin, a la
borer who is employed at the works.
made a horrible discovery. In one of
the hoppers into which the refuse is
poured before being burned Cronin found
the body of one day old infant 1t was
richly clothed in deliberately embroidered
fiannels, and on the sleeves of the hand
some dress were pink ribbons.
Cronin lost no time in notifying the Su-
perintendent of the works, who after a
cursory investigation reported the matter
to the police. Detective Tom Ryan was
hastily dispatched to the scene, and after
having the body of the infant removed
to the morgue he proceeded to make an
investigation. The long clothing was
carefully folded over the babes feet and
the tiny body wrapped in handsome
pinned UP with safety pins.
From Cronin he learned that at least a
dozen scavengers had visited the works a
short time before the body of the infant
was discovered. After dumping their
loads in the several hoppers they drove
away from the works.
Cronin did not have the least suspicion
that anything was wrong until he found
the dead infant on the top of a pile of
garbage. He was about to lower the re-
fuse matter in the furnace when he made
the startling discovery.
AS the infants clothing was not soiled
by contact with the refuse the suppose
ton is that the driver or the cart winch
carried the remains to the crematory Sc
GREETED the body under his seat. and after
reaching the works threw it into the hop
per in the hope that all evidence of the
crime would be destroyed after it had
reached the furnace.
The police are working on this theory,
and they are inclined to believe that the
scavenger was paid we'll to get rid of the
dead infant.
An examination of the body did not re-
veal any marks of violence. Coroner
Hawkins is inclined to believe that the
infant died few hours after It was born
and the mother, anxious to hide her sin,
employed the scavenger to do away with
it. To-day a strong effort will be made
to find the scavenger who conveyed the
body to the crematory.
The police hope that by arresting him
he will reveal the name of the woman
who employed him to get rid of the body.
