THE STATE VOTE
One or Two Candidates Are Still in
Doubt

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l2.-Additiona
returns have increased the total vote TO,
the gubernatorial candidates to the follow
ing figures:
Gage, 3,532; Mcguire, ll4037.
The totals of the tabulation for Secretary
of State to date are: Curry, l04, 1926; Thomp
son, llO,539.
There is possibility that Arnold (Rep J
has been defeated by Toland (Dem) ioi
member of the State Board of Equalization
from the Fourth District.
The State returns on Legislative candi
dates now in the hands of the Secretary oil
State show but two changes from the lst
already published. BY these returns Brain
ard (Dem.), of Redding, wins instead o
Beecher (Rep.), of Anderson, in the Fifth
Assembly District, and Casper (Rep), oi
Tulare, wins instead of Mcclellan (Dem. J
Of Hanford, in the Sixth-fourth In the
Eixtieth, which was in doubt the Secretary
Of States figures give the place to McIvel
(Rep.), of Bishop.
BY this canvass the Republicans have 4
majority of twelve in the Senate, and a ma
jority Of forty-four in the Assembly.
There will probably be several contests
on the Legislative ticket in this city. Leor
Dennery may challenge the right OF Porter
Ashe to seat in the State Senate Patricl;
Graham (Rep.) will contest the election Of
Lawrence Hoey (Dem.) to the Assembly
and Leon Jones thinks he was chosen As
semblyman, instead of j. s. Wardell, who
has majority of twenty-four on the face

ABOUT THE STATE

Last evening, near Shingle Springs, FL
Dorado county, Jack Nickle shot and killed
both his wife and mother-in-law with a
Winchester rifle. Afterwards he removed
his shoe from the right foot, and with his
toes discharged his rifle at his own breast,
killing himself almost instantly.
A desperate Chinese murderer is at large
in the hills back of Oakland, and score of
policemen and detectives are pursuing the
yellow iiend, who is supposed to be high
binder. With huge butcherknife the
fugitive disemboweled one of his country
men this afternoon in a vegetable garden
near Temescal. After the murder the
highlander fled to the hills.
President Elwood Cooper of the state
board of horticulture has issued call for
the annual convention of fruit growers, to
be held at Fresno on November Doth. Every
phase of the fruit industry will be discussed
at the convention.
Six Chinese who were passengers on the
river steamer j. B. Peters, which crashed
into the side of the collier Czarina, are miss
ing 1t is believed that their bodies are
either in the hull of the vessel, or that they
are floating about in the tide. The Chinese
Six Companies offers a reward of $40 each
for the recovery of the bodies of the missing
men. The wreck of the j. ID. Peters oc-
cupies the same position in the mud that it
did on Friday, but wreckers have hopes of
getting the hull ahoat today.

mated cost of which is $4,000; the acquisition
of fire engine and necessary equipments,
to cost $4,000; the improvement of certain
public parks-Pacitic park, $3.50; Ocean
Front park, $4,000.
| After all the legal preliminaries are COM
piled with, the date for holding the election
to vote the necessary bonds will be set,
which will be some time early next January.
The $4,000 school bond proposition voted
upon Tuesday was defeated overwhelming
ly, the vote being: Yes, 150 No, Isl, OF 152
short of the necessary two-thirds. Two
thousand dollars of the $40, 900 asked for was
to pay off the Indebtedness incurred in the
building of the high school, and for which the
contractor, Theodore Lutge, defaulted. This
amount will now have to be paid by a special
levy, the school trustees having no alter
native. The other $4,000 was to be used in
the purchase of land on which to erect more
school buildings, the present accommoda-
tions, the trustees say, having proved made
quate, all the rooms now in the grammar
school on Pine street being overcrowded.
This is the second time in the space of three
months the bonds have been defeated.
Henry G. Dillon has rendered to the coun-
ty superintendent of schools, S. V. Riley,
his resignation as school trustee from the
Long Beach school district.
r. NJ. Lynn has also resigned his position
as school trustee. Mr. Lynn, like Mr. Dillon,
is not satisfied with the result of the vote on
the school bond proposition.
Pine avenue is to be curbed from the
ocean front to Eighth street and from Eighth
street to the high school. The two blocks
from Sixth to Eighth street on Pine will
also be sidewalked, thus making continu-
GUS cement walk from the ocean to that
point.
The funeral of the late Elmer Bacon,
whose sudden death on Friday cast gloom
over this community, will take place Sun
day, the remains being taken to Evergreen
cemetery, Los Angeles, for interment.

BALLAD OF THANKSGIVING

1t was Captain Pierce of the Lion who
strode the streets of London,
Who stalked the streets in the blear OF
morn and growled in his grlsly beard;
"By Neptune. quoth this grim sea-dog. 81
fear that my masters undone!
IT'S bitter thing if all for naught through
the drench of the deep I've steered!'
He had come from out of the ultimate west
through the spinning drift and the
smother,
Come for guerdon of golden grain for a
hungry land afar;
And he thought of many wasting maid
and of many sad-eyed mother.
And how their gaze would turn and turn
for sail at the harbor bar
But famine lay on the English isle, and
grain was a boarded treasure
So ruddy the coin must gleam to loose the
lock of the storehouse door;
And under his breath the captain groaned
because of his meager measure,
And the grasping souls of those that held
the keys to the precious store.
But he flung laugh and a jeer at doubt,
and Drawing the roaring city,
He faced them out-these moiling men
whose greed had grown to a curse
Till at last he found in the strenuous press
heart that was moved to pity,
And he gave the governors bond and
word for what he lacked in his purse.
So the Lion put her prov to the west in
the wild and windy weather,
Her sails all set, though her decks were
wet with the driving scud and the foam
Never an hour would the captain hold his
StanCh little craft in tether.
For the hunting thought of hungry eyes
was the lure that called him home.
Sooth, in the streets of Boston town was
the heavy sound of sorrow,
For an iron frost had bound the wold,
and the sky hung bleak and dread;
Despair sat dark on the face of him who
dared to think of the morrow,
When not a crust could the good wife
give If the children moaned for bread.
But hark, from the wintry water-side a
loud and lusty cheering
That sweeps the sullen streets of the
town as a wave the level strand!
"A sail! sail!' upswelling the cry, speed
ing the vessel steering
Out of the vast of the misty sea in to the
waiting land.
Turn the page of the dimming past that the
dust of the years iss dry on
And see the tears in the eye of Joy as the
ship draws in to the shore,
And see the genial glow on the face of
Captain Pierce of the Lion,
AS the governor grips his faithful hand
and blesses him Ger and Ger!
Oh. the rapture of that release! Feasting
instead of fasting!
Happiness in the heart of the home, and
hope with its silver ray!
Oh, the songs of prayer and praise to the
Lord God everlasting
That mounted morn and noon and eve on
that first Thanksgiving day!

mans Home Companion.

SOUTH CAROLINA RIOTS
DO NOT CALL FOR FEDERAL IN
PREFERENCE
The Tolberts Have Got Away Safely
and Further Disorders Are Not
Looked For

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-Except in the
unlooked-for event of recurrence of the
race riots in South Carolina, it is altogether
improbable that the government will inter
fcre by force or otherwise. The Attorney
General had another conference with the
President this morning in regard to the
matter and the conclusion was promptly
reached that, as the demonstrations were
not directed against the Collector of Gus
toms in the performance of his duties as
such, the government had no authority un-
der the Constitution or laws to exercise it's
Federal authority. Collector Tolbert was
shot while away from his home and on bus-
ness entirely disconnected from that of his
ofhce, and under these circumstances the
government, it is said has not u shadow of
right to interfere. If tine Collector had been
shot IN the discharge of his official duties
ana In an effort to enforce the laws of the
United States, the duty of the government
would have been clear. In the present case.
It is said, however, that the lawless acts of
the mob were not directed against the exc
cutlon of the laws of the United States, but
against the individual. The case would have
highway by robber. Administration off
cials have no sympathy with the Carolina
rioters and regard their acts with abhor-
renee, but up to this time it is said there
is no evidence that would warrant any in
reference by the government. The Attor-
ney-General late last night sent the follow
ing telegram to the Assistant United States
Attorney at Anderson, near Phoenix, S. c..
department of Justice, Washington, Nov.
ll.-Ernest f. Cochran, Assistant United
States Attorney, Anderson, S. c.. You will
at once take energetic steps, incurring Che
necessary expense, to ascertain the exact
situation in Greenwood and adjoining coun-
ties, and report the same Immediately BY
wire to me, with a view to advising me
whether any condition of insurrection or dis
turbance exists, as iustifies the Federal au-
thorltles IN interfering to suppress it.
"JOHN w. GRIGGS,

received:

After studying Senator Quay's manifesto
as "the exultant yell of political boss, y
Mr.. Wanamaker notifies the senator that
the contest against his domination is not
ended. and reiterates his purpose of carry
ing on the contest until Quay's rule and
his methods are exterminated from the
politics of the state"
Mr.. Wanamaker closes his address with
an offer of $4,000 for information that "will
secure the conviction of any one who cor
ruptly gives, or offers to give, directly or
indirectly, to any member of the general
assembly, any money, appointment to Of
flee, or thing of value, to secure the vote of
such member for any person for the office
of United States senator, OF information
that will lead to the conviction of any men,
Der corruptly receiving any money, appoint
ment to office, or other valuable things for
the vote for United States senator"
Mr.. Wanamaker adds that this offer will
continue in force for year after the cleo
tion of United States senator, and that he
will pay all costs of prosecution in any case
coming within the purview of the offer.

His Ideas on Politeness

A California school teacher writes as
follows:
1.-THE school law requiring that morals
and manners be taught in the public
schools, 1 had my boys write hundred
lines on politeness-partly as a punishment
and partly to ascertain what stock of that
rare commodity they had on hand. The re-
suit was not altogether discouraging, as
the following extracts from the written
papers amply testify
POLITENESS
polite is to play fair game"
Polite is to talk kind to every person."
polite is to say 'Hullo' to people when
from and DO you want anything and
Excuse me- who is it?"
Polite is to lift your hat''
Polite is not to take big chew
Polite is to pass the food that Is on the
table to the person by"
You should not talk when you are chew
Ing the food you are eating
You must not sing in the table"
You must not cry on the table,
You must not lay on the table,"
You must not be growing at everything
what there is.'
You must not sleep on the table"
You must not look mad when you are
eating"
Polite is not to lay on one side of the
chair"
Polite is, you must not indifere."
1T Is more better good not to indifere
with the girls, they always are telling
You must comb your hairs wen you go
to eat"
You must not walk and hit your feet
down."
You must not laugh in the table,"
You must not sit and squeal"
Some men are more polite than Others
for some men are indecine and do not no.

Most women are polite and when they
see gentleman they bow their heads and
say Good morning." "
The most polite people ever saw were
men and boys, and women and some girls"
The savages that live In Africa have no

see anybody they will run after them and
