CLOSE FIGHT
FOR THE TOCA
San Diego Delegation Seems
to Hold the Balance of
Power in the Southland
REVIEW OF SITUATION
Election Commission Must
Decide Where the Voting
Machines Shall Be Placed

San Diego County seems to hold the
balance of power in the south on the
question of the United States Senator
ship. In Riverside, Orange, Ventura,
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, Bard
is credited with ten votes. In Los An
geles Frank r. Flint is credited with
IL. Fresno and Kern counties are
counted for Bard, but neither county is
classed as belonging to Southern Calf
fornia. Eliminating Tulare, San Luis
Obispo, Fresno and Kern from the
calculations the list stands Bard TO-
Flint IL Should the three votes Of
San Diego be given to Bard, the junior
Senator would have Is against Flint's
IL. On the other hand should Flint
win the San Diego delegation he would
have IA against 10 for Bard.
Senator Bard has developed strength
outside of his home county and the
politicians assert that Flint must de-
velop support outside Of Los Angeles
County in order to make his candidacy
formidable.
The situation in San Diego County is
thus presented by the Union:
"As has already been stated, the
Union believes that it will be mis-
take for the convention to instruct for
any Senatorial candidate. San Diego
County Republicans owe their first
duty to their own interest, which is
that Hon. NJ. L. Ward shall re-
ceive the nomination for Congress
from the Eighth District.

SAN DIEGO DIVIDED.


party of San Diego County is divided.
although without any bitterness, on
the Senatorial question. Senator Bard
and Mr. OXnard and Mr.. Flint have
each their supporters. Mr.. Ward, on
the other hand, has the united party
behind him. In these conditions it
would certainly seem that consistency,
to say nothing Of good politics, de-
mands that the candidate whom the
entire party is supporting should be
given the preference over aspirants for
another office among whom the party's
strength is divided. Surely it is hardly
just to the party itself to take a course
that might damage the chances of the
candidate on whom the party is united
in order to advance the interest Of a
Senatorial aspirant who has only
portion of the party behind him.
'San Diego is certainly not indifferent
on the Senatorship question. Neverthe-
less it is only natural and proper that
the matter of first importance-the one
that comes directly home to the people
lis the success Of the San Diego COun-
ty candidate for the Congressional
nomination. The men who are most
active in promoting Mr.. Wards candi
dacy, and who are in position to judge
pretty accurately as TO the effect of any
action that the convention may take.
believe that instructions as to the
Senatorship cannot possibly increase
Mr.. Wards chances. and may damage
them. 1t would seem that this view
should control. And it is probably un-
necessary to suggest that the objection
thus made to instructions is not to be
taken as indicating the least unfriend-
illness to any one of the three candi-
dates. The whole affair is purely a
matter Of expediency from the stand
point of an overshadowing local inter
est"

ASPHYL[ATED
IN BATHROOM
Louis B. Wiley, Formerly of
Seattle, Meets EndThrOugh
Careless Handling of Gas

Louis B. Wiley, a member Of Seattle
Lodge Of Elks, met death by gas as
phyxiation, probably on Sunday in a
fat at Al Octavia street, which he had
recently rented. Wiley's body was
found in the bathroom, fully dressed
but for coat and vest.
The body was lying on the floor, near
the door. The tube leading fran the gas
jet to small stove was connected to the
handle of the gas stove stopcock in
stead of to the pipe, as it should have
been. The handle of the stopcock was
smaller than the tube and a stream Of
monoxide was escaping. The bath tub
was half filled with water and a small
kettle stood on the stove.
1t is thought Wiley must have been
attacked by a fainting spell when he
made such a fatal connection between
the gas tubing and the stopcock han
ole. In the bathroom were towels. The
kettle he is supposed to have intended
using to heat water for his bath. He
may have made the connection, as he
thought, right, and fallen asleep. Or
he may have suddenly tainted from
heart trouble.
The dead mans watch was still go
ing yesterday. The Morgue officials
state that Wiley had been dead for
about a day and a half.
The landlady, Mrs. Clara Thompson,
smelled the gas yesterday. and. think
ing the pipes were leaking, summoned
c. J. Jacobson, a plumber, of 1866 Mar
ket street. jacobson discovered the
body and notified the Morgue. The
bathroom door was locked and the
plumber had TO enter through a win
dow and unlock it from the inside.
Mrs. Thompson said that Wiley rent
ed the furnished fiat, which was part
of her apartment-house, on February
q last, for $40 and paid a deposit of $40
He told her he was from Nevada and
expected his wife down in a week or so.
She knew nothing else about him.
In the dead mans pockets was found
a membership card of Washington
Lodge No. 92, B. P. o. E., of Seattle,
and several letters that had been ad-
dressed to him in Smartsville, Yuba
County.
What part of Nevada Wiley came
from could not be learned. He had
eNlQenlly lTdNeleu SOOQ zeal, from
the variously addressed letters found
on him. Letters from his wife were
signed Leila" but the missives bore
no address and the postmarks could
not be read.
A telegram received from Seattle lasr
evening stated that Wiley had not been
a resident Of Seattle for two years, al
though the records of the Elks Lodge
there contained his name and gave his
address in San Francisco as 2022 Cali
fornia street. The house at that number
is now vacant. He was known in Seattle
as a single man and is so registered in
the Elks' lodge.
1t was learned last evening that
Wiley had lately been visiting a Miss
! Wilson, who lives with her sister Mrs.
w. NJ. Schwartz. at 1906 Ninth street.
Alameda. Mrs. Schwartz admitted last
night that Wiley had been calling on
her sister. Miss Wilson, it was
claimed, was now staying in this city.
The Schwartzes had not heard of
Wiley's death. Mrs. Schwartz said
that all she knew about Wiley was
that he formerly lived in SmartsvilIe

KOREANS HEAR
OF VICTORIES

PIacards Record Mar.
veIouSV VaIOr ofNa-
tive Troops.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEOUL, March S.-Placards reporting
Korean triumphs over the Russians on
the northwestern frontier are being
distributed broadcast throughout the
country, probably with the object of
arousing the patriotism of the people
and counteracting the efforts of the
faction which is opposed to the jap
anese protectorate. One placard an
nounces the killing Of thirty Cossacks
by Koreans in the vicinity of Chenam-
pho, and another reports the rout Of
large Russian force by a small band
of Koreans, the scene of the exploit
not being announced.
To further incite the natives, pla-
cards charging the Russians with
gross cruelties are posted in public
places in the larger towns. 1t is
claimed that the invaders are mall
treating women and robbing the inhab-
itants of the districts which they have
occupied. Japanese official reports
make no reference to occurrences of
this kind, but it is believed the Jap
anese are interested in the spreading
of the reports among the Koreans
An official bulletin has been issued
asserting that Korean army has de-
feated the Russians at Hwangju and
driven the entire Russian army across
the Yalu River.
Practically all of the Japanese troops
that landed at Chemulpo and occupied
Seoul have now proceeded on the
northward march. While the censor
ship will not permit the sending of
any news regarding the advance, it
may be said that the entire japanese
army in Western Korea is expected to
have routed the Russians on the Yalu
and begun the invasion of Manchuria
by the end of April.

EDELNIAN's SECOND CONTEST
OF WIFE'S WILL DISMISSED
Interest in the Property Left
by His Spouse.

On motion Of Garret McEnerney the
contest Of the viii of the late Hannah
Edelman. brought by her husband
Charles Edelman, was dismissed yes
terday. The motion was based on
the ground that Edelman had no in
terest in the estate and it was granted
by Judge Coffey.
This ma kes the second defeat Edel-
man has met with in his attempts TO
get the property left by his wife, which
in her viii was devised TO her daugh-
ter by 2 former marriage. Mrs. Edel-
man left two wills, containing prac-
ticaIy the same bequests. When the
first one was offered for probate Edel-
man contested il on the ground that
his wife was Unduly Influenced by her
daughter. The case was heard by a
jury. which sustained the Will upon
1IcEnerney's showing that Edelman
had. years before his wife's death,
signed q paper giving UP any claim
DE might have against his wifes
estate. The second viii, which was
found after a decision in the first case
had been reached, was then offered
for probate and Edelman filed a new
contest. The second document was
probated yesterday, despite Edelman's
