more than five hours in the sweltering heat
of the packed hall and listened to speeches
for the greater part carefully prepared in
advance. They were growing tired. There
had been little spontaneous oratc:y and
few of the direct. vigorous hits that a con-

a stimulant. He had not spoken hundred
words before ripple of rearoused attention
ran through the hall 1t was much like

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 10
Music and words of good cheer were
yesterday transmitted to the ears of
invalids lying sick in hospitals and
homes, not only in Los Angeles, but
towns miles away, by telephone.
Seventy-five persons, with receivers
at their ears, heard distinctly the
service conducted by Rev. Albert A.
Kidder, chaplain of the Strangers
Friend society, at Burbank hall The
innoyation, which is practically new
in America, has never before been at
tempted on the Pacific coast. 1t was
pronounced entirely successful.
During the service, which began at
3 o'clock, over 100 calls were made
to be connected with the telephone
at the hall. Many were denied the
privilege of hearing the service be-
cause of lack of accommodations at
the central Office.

SOCIALISTS
May: CONTEST

how the ballot was marked and de-
termine whether he was getting all
he paid for.
Mr.. Cullen said last night the So
cialists would at once canvass the
city and ascertain how many pre-
cincts were provided with booths
which were worked by the vote buy
ersand that as soon as this was de-
termined protests against the votes
in those precincts being counted
would be lodged with the board of
canvassers.
While it is true that some of the
muslin shielded voters booths open
ed toward the street, attorneys for
both the republican and democratic
candidates say il is not matter suf-
ficiently important to warrant the
throwing out of precincts and prac-
tically DISTINGUISHING thousands of
honest voters. Neither, they say,
would 1t benefit the socialists, as
the arrangement of booths was the
same in the precincts where they re-
ceived their largest vote, which would
also be thrown out could such rul-
ing be brought to pass.

Tullios brain is wholly abnormal,
says Professor Lombroso, and his re-
markable skull formation shows him
to be undoubtedly an irresponsible.
Lombroso believes the murder of the
count was due solely to a fixed con-
viction in Tullio's mind that Linda
was being abused by the count, caus-
ing an uncomfortable impulse to kill
his sisters husband. Lombroso does
not deny the implication of Rosa
Bonetti, Tullio's mistress, in the
crime but says Of her that she should
have been in an asylum long ago, be-
ing highly hysterical, epileptic and
neurotic." The girl has suffered

Unless new books are speedily
placed in the library, by the time it
is moved to the new building there
will be not enough books to supply
the demands. AS it is now there are
barely sufficient books to go around.
This deficiency is due to the rapid
increase in the number of applica-
