BIG FIGHT TOOK PLACE TODAY
WHEN CITY ELECTION
WAS HELD.
Campaign Was Extremely Lively and
Interesting and Many Of the
Voters Were Out early.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 12-The wave
of reform and municipal ownership,
which caused such upheavals in the
political texture of the large cities all
over the country at the November
election, did not fail to reach this city
and seldom has there been a more Wig
between the various political parties
of Boston, than at the present time.
The campaign, which preceded today's
election was extremely lively ana IN
teresting and the voters showed I'M
usual interest. Today the fate of the
city will be decided at the polls and
judging from present indications the
vote will be very large. The fight is
practically on straight party lines, al
though in the case of the candidates
for mayor the reform question enters
to a great extent. The fight is prac-
the republican reform candidate and
John F. Fitzgerald, the democratic
| candidate. It is generally admitted
| that the other candidates do not count
| except in SO far as the votes cast for
them will diminish the totals for the
two principal candidates.
| At today's election the voters Of this
city will elect a mayor, a street COM
| missioner, aldermen and councilmen
| the number of citizens qualified to
vote is 1926, of whom 54,7O1 were
enrolled as democrats and 21,964 as re-
publicans, while the rest constitute the
| doubtful vote. 1t would require near
| ly the entire doubtful vote to give the
| republicans a clear majority, if the
battle were to be fought out on strict
party lines. 1t is, however, ex-
| pected that many democratic voters
will vote for the republican candidate
/ for mayor, while some of the republi-
can voters may vote for Fitzgerald.
| Both candidates are confident Of sue
cess and both admit that the election
| will be rather close.
| A majority of the candidates for al
dermen and councilmen have declared
themselves in favor Of the resolution
passed by the present city council,
favoring the establishment of city
lighting plant. They nave pledged
themselves to vote for the resolution
again, as the law requires, SO that the
question may be submitted to a vote
of the people.

nation service, mas ordered a careful
reconnaissance of the area previously
Withdrawn under what is known as
the Big Bend project, in Washington,

tracts should be permanently reserved
for future development by the govern

Engineer Anderson has been detailed
to make this investigation at the earli-

areas which in his judgment should be

Private enterprise is seeking op-

reclamation service to withhold extern

this means, an investigation is being
undertaken that the development of
the state by private enterprise. may
not be retarded.

MUST SERVE TERMS.
Kaiser Has. Mortgage On the Sons
of WeIl-Known Opera SINGER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Mme. Scnu-
-Heinck, the well-known opera
singer, now appearing in Loves Lot
terry" has appealed to the state de-
partment in Washington to help her
untangle her badly mixed up domestic
affairs Under the German law some
of her children are detained in Ger
many, while her property in that coun-
try is tied up in the courts because of
legal proceedings following her second
marriage. Nine. Schumann-H einck
has suffered much from illness recent
ly, largely due to worrying over her
troubles.
The opera singers marriage last
summer to William Rapp, an American,
and her desire to bring her sons here
to be educated, is said to be the foun-
dation of the difficulty. This brought
her into conflict with the law, which
provides that all German youths must
serve in the army, and the German
government stepped in and said that
the elder son must remain in Germany
for military duty.
Nine Schumann- Heinck, after her
marriage last summer, went abroad
with her husband, and after weeks of
futile effort to obtain possession of her
children and the estate, they returned
with the three youngsters of the family
two boys and two girls. They were
permitted to accompany their mother
on condition that they be educated in
accordance with German ideas and
when the boys are Of age that they re-
turn to Germany for service in the
army. They are now at their mothers
house in Ludlow on the Hudson.
The other five children, one of whom
is married, must remain in Germany.
In case the boys now in this country
should refuse to return to Germany
for military service their share in the
estate will be confiscated.

CONGRESSMAN JONES ASKS SEC
RETARY HITCHCOCK APPROVE
IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
Urqes Him to Let Water Users Asso-
citation Question to be Settled
by People.

Congressman Jones wants approval
of both the Teton and Sunnyside irri-
CATION projects made absolute so far
as the secretary of the interior can do
So leaving complications that may
arise in the future to be settled, is the
report that comes from Washington
city. In a letter to the secretary he
asked that Mr. Hitchcock approve
both projects, subject. to adjustment
of water rights and the formation of
water users association and other
contingencies.
Explaining his request, he stated
that if the secretary should take this
action it would bring more people into
line with the departments policy than
if the question of approval should re-
main open.
Will Allow $2,000,000.
Secretary Hitchcock although he has
expressed a willingness to authorize
the expenditure of $2,OO0,0OO or more
on the Okanogan, Teton and Sunny
side projects, will not take final action
until he is sure of his ground. Esti-
mates submitted to him indicate that
the amount of Washingtons restricted
funds in 1903 will be approximately
50, 100000, within 100000 the esti-
! mated cost of the three projects
named.
There is a contingency, however
that congress may repeal the timber
and stone act, in which event Washing
| toms share of the irrigation fund will
be materially affected. The secretary
is having tables prepared showing the
| receipts from sales under the timber
and stone act, with estimates Of fu-
ture sales under this law for the next
| three years, in order to determine ap-
proximately what effect the passage
of the repeal law will have.
Timber and Stone Act.
| 1t is admitted that the proceeds of
| public lands sales will show a de-
crease in the future, but estimates of
the condition of the reclamation fund
| to 1908 are based on continuance of the
timber and stone act on the statute
books. The new statement will have
an important bearing on the 1mme-
date or remote approval of the Wash
ington irrigation projects.
The Sunnyside project may be put in
| jeopardy, if the decision of the assist
ant attorney general for the interior
department should be that the govern
ment cannot purchase the Washing
ton companys holdings because of GER
tain restrictions in the bill of sale.
A decision on this offer is expected in

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
SPEEDING AUTO DRIVES
WOMAN TO MYSTERIES

The antics Of an automobile driver
caused a serious accident on South
Broadway, between First and Second
streets, yesterday afternoon.
The auto was big blue touring car
and was driven by dainty young man
with a nice blue ribbon around his hat.
He started in front of the Broadway
Department store and then skidded
down in front of Coulter's. AS he
crossed Second street, an officer at
tempted to warn the young man that
his fancy actions might land him In
Jail, but the youth climbed the Broad
way hill. and getting a good start
started the descent at high rate Of
speed.
AS the machine sized toward Second
street Miss Pauline Gold of South Olive
street started to alight from a car in
front of the Chamber of Commerce
building.
She reached the ground in safety and
started to cross to the sidewalk when
the juggernaut hurled itself between
the walk and the car, missing the
young woman by about five inches
Miss Gold tainted. AS she fell her
arm struck the asphalt and painful
bruise resulted. She was carried into
the Central drug store and the police
ambulance sent for.
From faint the young woman went
into fit of Mysteries and after receiv-
ing medical attention from Police Sur
geon Freedman she was sent to her
home. ~ n
Prominent men of nearly every busi-
ness firm of Los Angeles have declared
against the speed craze.
A member of one of the foremost law
firms of Southern California made the
following statement regarding automo-
biles yesterday: From the very first
l do not care for the people OF Los
Angeles to get 1t into their minds that
only long hairs are trying to bring
the auto craze out of the chaos into
which 1t has fallen.
Los Angeles is noted for its fine
streets and roads, and do not think
the reputation Of the city ought to he
jeapordized for the fanatical desires OF
few men. l have owned an automo-
bile for several years and l have en-
joyed riding In It but have never had
an accident.
Il have always gone at as fast rate
OF speed as the law allows but never
have exceeded that regulation. The re-
cent disaster In which Hancock met his
death and in which the lives OF his
family were endangered should be the
signal for the officials OF the city Of Los
Angeles to take q determined stand
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-23

and suppress this criminal nonsense.
The people might as we'll learn first as
last that dashing auto is more dan
gerous than runaway horse. The
sooner they find that out the sooner Los
Angeles will be free from these terrible
calamities. In the meantime do not
think that my statement ought to be
taken amiss when I suggest that the
speed fiends try their antics up the
Mount Wilson trail or on the Mojave
desert, where they would risk only their
own fool lives"

Jerry Thomas Steps In Front of In

Crushed

In passing behind an outward bound
street car at the corner of Sixteenth
and Arlington streets Jerry Thomas, a
negro, 65 years old, living at 5331s Sea-
ton street, was struck by an inbound
Santa Monica flyer and killed at $50
o'clock last evening. Thomas was
killed instantly, his skull being frac-
tured. The body was taken to the
undertaking rooms of Pierce Brothers.
Thomas was returning home from
his work in Pico Heights, where he
was employed as a hod carrier. Mo-
torman Watts of the Santa Monica car
said he was certain that Thomas did
not see the car, as he stepped imme-
diately in front of it. When seen by
the motorman Thomas was only few
feet from the car and there was no
time to stop.

Then they catch another cold and be-
gin to cough. Then they take cough
syrups which do no good.
BY and by they get tired Of taking
medicine and give up in despair. Their
cold continues and their cough grows
worse.
Then they apply to doctor, only to
find that they are in the first stages of
consumption.
At any. time during the progress of
the catarrh, from the first onset of the
cold to Its final settlement in the lungs,
Peruna can be relied upon to check the
progress of the catarrh.

sumption has been made by competent
physicians, Peruna has permanently

Further than this the law states that
local authorities shall not pass or

mobiles except as 1t is limited in this
law, which leaves the question of speed
largely at the discretion Of the chauf-
feur up to twenty miles an hour on
streets free from traffic and fifteen on
business thoroughfares. The law, how
ever, does specify that machines shall
be slowed down at street crossings.

Perhaps the victim pays no attention

Such cold Is more apt to anect the

The moral Of this Is that at the slight

Peruna should be taken.
There should be no "let up" in the

RACE OF BATTLESHIPS.
Test of Speed of Seven United States
Ships Off VirainIa Coast.

New York, May 8. - News of an
eight-hOur ocean race in which seven
big United States battleships partici-
pated was brought here by the battle
ship Alabama, which arrived in COM
mand of Rear Admiral Charles H.
Davis and will go to the navy yard to
be overhauled because of the poor
showing which she made In the con-
test.
The ships were coming up the coast
last Saturday and were about 200
miles south of Cape Henry when the
word was given for a speed test. For
two hours 1t was nip and tuck, there
being scarcely a change in the rela-
tive position of the participants. By
that time excitement was running high
on board the battleships and the speed
contest had developed into a race.
Finally the Massachusetts and the
Alabama began to fall behind and
when the signal ending the race was
flashed both these ships were far In
the rear. The Alabama, which has the
record Of being one of the fastest bat
tleships in the navy, was fully mile
and half behind the Massachusetts.
At the finish, the Missouri, which
had drawn away from the others, was
only TN miles south of Cape Henry,
having covered 12Gh miles in the
eight hours.
During the last six hours of the
race, the battleshlps were under
forced draught With the exception
Of the Alabama all the vessels went
to Hampton Roads.
