BIG VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT.
Predicted That Los Angeles County
Will Give $4,000 Plurality.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.-"Los An
geles County will give the Republican
national ticket a plurality of more
than 15 900 next Tuesday, and it may
exceed this figure by 1000. We pro-
pose to keep the Republican banner
which we won two years ago by cast
ing the vote which made Pardee Gov
ernor." This Is the statement made
to-day by Chairman Bradner W. Lee
of the Republican County Central
Committee.
There is reason for the statement
For two years the Republican clubs
of Los Angeles County have kept up
active organization. Meetings were
held at regular intervals and in quiet
but effective way some careful polit-
ical work has been done. A close
watch has been kept and advantage
taken of everything which would
strengthen the Republican cause, and
the result of that work will be shown
next Tuesday. The one aim of the
party workers has been to break all
previous records. and so certain is ii
that the result will be that the DEM
ocrats have conducted only half
hearted campaign.

TWO ATTEMPTS
TO ROB TRAIN
Bandits Thwarted Twice in
Their EndeavOrs to Hold
Up Express in Maryland

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-Accord-
ing to the crew of the Philadelphia
and New York express on the Pensyl-
vania Railroad which left Washing
ton at $3.50 tonight, two unsuccessful
attempts were made to hold the train
up at Havre de Grace and PerryY1lle,
in Maryland, by two men. one or Whorn
was a negro. The men escaped.
The men boarded the train at Balti-
more AS the train approached the
long bridge at Havre de Grace. white
man pierced an opening in the front
door of the express car, and thrustinR
a revolver through the opening ordered
Messenger Carter to let him in. The
messenger replied by firing his revolver
and pulling the signal cord.
When the train came to a stop, Con-
ductOr Sibley ran forward to the
engine and there found a colored man
in the tender with a revolver in hand.
He ordered the man down. At first he
refused, but after short argument he
left the tender. Going back to the ex-
press car, he was told by the mes
senger what had happened. The white
man in the meantime had disappeared.
The train resumed its journey and
when it reached Perryville on the fur
ther side of the bridge, two men again
appeared, one on the tender and the
other on the front platform of the ex-
press car. The train was again stop
ped, but before the two men could be
captured they disappeared in the dark
ness.

MORTON WANTS THE NAVY
SECOND ONLY TO ENGLAND'S
Would Build 1t to Proportions Where
1t Will Act as Guarantee
of Peace.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Secretary
Morton does not believe the United
States navy should be the largest in
the world, but does believe that ship
for ship it should be as good as any
other and be second only to that of
England in size. He says:
The Democrats claim that our army is too
large. This they call militarism- They say
nothing whatever in their platform about the
navy, although the committee on resolutions
at the St. Louis convention was in favor of
reporting for liberal annual increase for the
navy, but this plank was stricken out Of the
platform at the suggestion of Senator Tillman
for the very statesmanlike reason given by him
that the navy had votes" 1 believe that
ship for ship should have good a navy
as any other nation in the world. 1t is not
necessary for us to have as large navy as
England has, but stand for a navy second to
that of England. / believe in a navy of such
fighting force that it will discourage any other
nation from wanting to have an engagement
with us. l believe in a navy so formidable
that it will preserve the peace and in one so
well prepared at all times for war that war
will never come.

FIRE FIGHTERS
Alameda City Trustees to
Act on Chiefs Plan to
ReOrganize the Companies

ALAMEDA, Nov. 6.-Chief T. K.
Krauth's plan for the disbanding Of the
three remaining volunteer hose compa-
nies Of the fire department and their
reorganization upon a paid basis will
come before the City Trustees to-mor-
row night for action. 1t is recommend
ed by the Chief that the hose compa-
MES, which now consist of fifteen or
more men and which are allowed $35 a
month by the city, hereafter consist of
four men, one to be designated as fore
man. Each foreman viii be allowed Sc
for responding to alarms within his
district and SO for responding to alarms
without his district. The men of the
companies will be paid S. each for re-
spending 10 alarms within their dis
trict and one-half of that amount for
outside alarms. Nothing will be al
lowed for responding to false alarms.
Chief Krauth also suggests that the
two present district engineers be abol-
ished and that the foreman of one OF
the hose companies stationed east of
Grand street be authorized to act as
assistant engineer when necessary, and
the foreman Of one of the compa-
nies located west of Grand street be
similarly empowered.
Chief Krauth's plan of reorganization
provides for a department of thirty six
men, as follows: One chief engineer,
one engineer Of steam fire engine, seven
drivers, three chemical extra men, six
teen hosemen and eight truckmen.
Because of the failure Of the fire
alarm system to work properly the City
Trustees have taken that department
out Of the hands Of the city electrician,
and hereafter 1t will be looked after by
Otto Leydecker, under the supervision
Of the Chief of the Fire Department.
