PREACHER PLANNETTE
IN THE ASYLUM AGAIN
Minister I'm Whose Path Followed
Death and Tragedy Committed
I'm Iowa.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. REV. E. E.
Plannette, whose arrest here one
Sunday night a year ago, after his
church service. for stealing potted
plants, and subsequent commitment to
the Southern California State Hospital
for the Insane at Patton resulted in a
tragedy and sensation, has again come
before the public. He was released
from the institution as cured, but has
now been committed to an asylum at
Marshall, Iowa. He had preached twice
there and his strange pulpit manners
led to comment, which made him vio-
lent.
At Patton Plannette's wife alleged he
received cruel treatment at the hands
of DR.. Doland and this brought about
the recent investigation which led to
Superintendent Doland's dismissal and
sudden death at Riverside and the sub
sequent suicide and shortage confession
of Secretary Clark.

OAKLAND, Nov. THE campaign
has closed here and Alameda County.
which has given to the country Cabi-
net officer, a Governor Of this State. a
United States Senator, a Congressman
and many other able servants of the
people, is preparing to give the largest
vote for Theodore Roosevelt and the
Republican ticket that 1t has ever
polled in a long and honorable history.
The voters Of Alameda County have
not great deal to vote for this year.
Outside Of the ten Presidential electors
there are only few district officers
to be chosen-three State Senators,
seven Assemblymen, three Supervisors
and one Congressman. So few officers
are there to vote for that in some
districts there is only a Congressman
and an Assemblyman TO ballot for,
aside from the electors
The night before the battle is always
one for predictions, and a conservative
estimate of the situation assures that
Alameda County will elect every one of
the Republican nominees, and give an
unprecedented majority for the Repub
lican electors. The Democrats have
made no fight at all for the leaders
Of their ticket, and the only contests
that have made their appearance on
the political horizon are purely per-
sonal ones and involve salaried offices.
An effort has been made to displace
all the three Republican nominees for
Supervisor. but even this is not party
fight, for in two cases the Democrats
have indorsed disgruntled Republi-
cans. Even the Democratic County
Central Committee, as already reported
in The Call, has been compelled to
come out over the signature of it's Of
ficers and denounce one Of its party
nominees for Withdrawing from the
fight at the last moment in the inter-
ests Of a disgruntled Republican.
In spite of all of this kind Of work
the three Republican nominees will be
elected-C. F. Horner in the First Dis
trict, H. D. Rowe in the Fourth Dis
trict and John Mitchell in the Fifth
District.
There is not even a shadow of
contest in the matter Of the three Re-
publican nominees for State Senator,
and the following candidates will carry
their respective districts: J. G. Mattos
Jr, Thirteenth District; Captain W. NJ.
Simpson, Fourteenth District; G.. r.
Lukens, Fifteenth District. Captain
Simpson will succeed j. r. Knowland,
who will be elected to Congress to sue

of the relatives Of Mrs. Leona Mathe-
son and Mrs. NJ. B. Eitten, the women
who were killed by a South Side local
train last evening. have visited the
Morgue, where the bodies lie, to claim
the remains.
Deputy Coroner James Fowler and
DR.. ]. A. Collinge, the latter of whom
was with the women when they met
death, got into communication to-day
with Malcolm Matheson, husband Of one
of the victims Of the fatality, and ne

Fowler that his brother would arrange
for the disposition of his wife's re-
mains.
DR.. ColIinge is endeavoring to locate
relatives of Mrs. Eitten in Los Angeles
and expects to hear from them to-mor-
row.
Coroner H. B. Mehrmann has set the

train which ran down the women Will
be summoned to give evidence, as will
also Dr. Collinge, his son and daughter.
who narrowly escaped meeting the fate
that befell the two women. DR.. Col
linge is at a loss to explain why Mrs.
Matheson and Mrs. Eitten did not hear
the train rushing upon them from be-
hind. The women were walking close
to the track and engaged in conversa-
tion when the bumper Of the locomo-
tive struck them. hurting them both
from the track and fracturing their
skulls. Percy Collinge, a son Of DR..
COllinge, was close to the women when
the locomotive struck them, and it was
the impact of their bodies that knocked
him to the macadam. causing him TO
sustain a fracture Of the nose and
sprained ankle.

district Senator Lukens viii succeed
himself Senator Leavitt is a hold
over and has two years more to serve.
Just a shadow of a fight has de-
veloped in one Assembly district.
County Assessor Henry P. Dalton has
turned loose upon Assemblyman Phil
NJ. Walsh. Dalton, who lives in the
Forty-eighth Assembly District, now
represented by Walsh, to-day flooded
the town with personal letters asking
his friends to vote for W. S. OBrien,
the Union Labor nominee. Dalton is
possessed Of great influence in his dis
trict, but ii is not believed that he Will
be able to defeat Mr.. Walsh. Dalton
charges Walsh with attacking Cover
nor Pardee at the last session Of the
Legislature. Walsh tonight issued a
reply in which he shows that he was
a consistent supporter of the admins
tration, and supported every bill the
administration favored.
Clarence Crowell, chairman Of the
Republican County Central Committee,
has issued a statement in which he
calls upon every Republican to vote
tomorrow. He urges them all to save

Oakland to Bring In and
Dump Any Outside Waste

ALAMEDA, Nov. 7.-Oakland scav-
haul and dump their garbage in Ala
media, as the City Trustees tonight
ordered the City Attorney to draft an
ordinance to prohibit the bringing Of
outside waste and filth into the NUM-
cipality.
Fritz Boehmer appeared on behalf
of the scavengers and asserted that the
garbage was being utilized to improve
the Bay Farm Island without cost,

the highway was not unsanitary. Trus-
tee w. M. Bowers replied to Boehmer
that it was not a question of cheap
road construction, but matter that
concerned the general health of the
community. He alleged that the
former dumps on Webster street had
been the cause of several cases of ty-
phoid fever. Bowers moved and Trus-
tee B. E. Combs seconded the motion
instructing the City Attorney to pre-
pare a prohibitive ordinance against
the carting of outside garbage into the
city.

pliance with a request from the City
Trustees, filed his written resignation

ton was read from Arson w. George.

there can be no yielding.
