landslide struck Colorado where mu-
nicipal elections were held today In all
cities and towns except Denver. In
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Leadville,
normally Republican, the Democratic
tickets were successful in the latter
case the first time in twenty years. In
the smaller towns where party lines
we're drawn the Democrats won. the
notable exceptions being Cripple Creek,
Victor, Golden and Central City. John
T. West, Democrat, was elected mayor
of Pueblo by at least 300 majority.
The rest of the Democratic ticket was
victorious by larger majorities.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, April 4.-By a plurality
of 24,24S Judge Edward Fitzpatrick
Dunno, the Democratic nominee was
today elected mayor Of Chicago, to
succeed Carter II. Harrison, after the
most spectacular campaign witnessed
in many years.
BY this sign the second city in the
United States has gone squarely on
record in favor of immediate munich
pal ownership of her street railways.
This feature of the election gives to the
result national interest and impor-
tance.
Chicago is the first city Of any size
and Importance to return a munich
pal ownership verdict at the polls. So
biologists and students of municipal
problems will watch with liveliest in
terest the outcome of the experiment
about to be made.
Verdict Is Positive
1t will probably cost the city 100000
900 to purchase the traction lines and
an additional s5O,00O,000 to rehabilitate
them. The popular verdict Is so plain
and positive that there Is nothing to do
but face the issue squarely and work
out the municipal ownership problem.
After winning successfully five re-
markable biennial fights of independ-
ents against the regular Republican
party organization here, John May
nard Harlan, son of Associate Justice
Harlan of the supreme court of the
United States, was a loser as Repub-
lican candidate for mayor. The defeat
is attributed to several causes, starting
with political revenge and embracing
the most up-to-date socialism as
factor.
Seldom, If ever, has Chicago wit
messed a more lively and picturesque
contest. Tonight the city was hideous
with the ringing of COW bells and the
roar of cannon crackers.
Socialists Help Dunno
! The overwhelming Democratic vic
tory was evident before the balloting
today had been in progress an hour.
| Districts where Republican majorities
had seemed constant and time honored
as the seasons were ominously report
| ed today as "slow."
1t was a raw. clustering day, gloomy
and cold for the most part until about
an hour before the close of voting.
Fear of domination by corporate
wealth appeared to sway many voters.
Harlan was harassed during the cam
paign as the reputed representative
of Wall street interests intent on
fastening burdensome franchise grants
upon the city.

"All Los Angeles should take an IN

ing section in Nevada. 1 am in favor
of holding a mass meeting" said w.
H. Workman, city treasurer, yesterday,
in discussing the new country that is
to add so much to the business inter-
ests Of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Workman added: "The cham
ber of commerce and similar assoca =
tions should take the subject in hand
at once and formulate some plan to
give substantial encouragement to any
company or syndicate that will under
take the enterprise of extending a line
from the Salt Lake road into the min.
ing region.
Looking at the map, I should say
that road from either Soda Lake or
Ivanpah would be of more advantage
to Los Angeles commercially than from
Las Vegas.
"A road from the last named point,
125 miles further away from Los An
geles, would be to the benefit of Salt
Lake, the city we have to contend with
for the business of the new territory
In my judgment, the branch road
should start from some point as near
Los Angeles as possible.

England Supports France

The English press universally rec
ognizes that such declaration is ir-
rcconcilable with the position taken
up by the kaiser, and that one or
the other must yield if the peace is to
be kept.
AS between the contending parties the
sympathies of the British government
will inevitably be found to lie with
France which, while guaranteeing the
open door, is regarded as being, with
England, the natural heir to the Sui
tans North African possessions when
ever the Sick Man of Europe" shall
finally relax his grip. The intrusion Of
third party into this comfortable
family pact is naturally regarded as
insufferable.
The more conservative portion of the
English press is consoling itself with
the reflection that the kaiser's bark
is apt to be more alarming than his
bite, and is citing the celebrated Kru-
lger telegram as an example.

OPEN REBELLION AGAINST
a. RULING FACTION
Members Engage in Heated Argu-
ment During Proceedings-One

"Farce"

Since the smoke OF battle has rolled
away facts have come to light which
indicate that unity was not the pre-

Monday 4-
One of the members put it mildly
when she remarked that "the club was
not of one mind" and it took two
hours and half to elect ten officers,
The officers are nominated by a COM
mittee appointed several weeks pre-
Vious to the date of election. The COM
mittee makes out a ticket and presents
1t to the club, allowing members the
privilege of scratching" and putting
in other names.
When the nominations were an
nounced some of the members objected
and declared that one faction was run
ming everything.
Open Rebe eIIion
For several days previous there had
been rumors to the effect that all were
not satisfied with the condition of af-
fairs, and it was thought that the
ticket would be scratched in many
places, but few were prepared for the
open rebellion which took place.
The session was opened with Mrs.
Florence Collins Porter in the chair,
the president, Mrs. Frank w. King,
being absent The report of the nom
iinating committee was read and Mrs.
King was nominated for reelection.
Discussion arose and Mrs. F. w. Fer
guson of South Pasadena, speaking for
a large number of the members, de-
clared that she considered that method
of electing officers farce.
Mrs A. l.. Danskin of the nominat-
ing committee arose to defend the
action of her side, saying that MEM
bers were at liberty to suggest 7li,lmes
to the committee and. that this fact
had been announced at three different
meetings. -
Mrs. Ferguson made some remarks
to the effect that she had been present
at all the meetings, but agreed that
there might have been something
wrong with her ears. At any rate she
had failed to hear the announcement.
Mrs. Danskin further stated that she
and other members of the committee
each had telephone and a door bell,
and if information was desired 1t could
have been had.
Some one remarked that although
there was nothing against the women
who were nominated she disapproved
of the system, as it gave all the power
to one faction. and there were others
who believed that some on the ticket
were not the ones who had done the
most earnest work for the benefit of

ness men of Gold1eld are thoroughly
aroused over the proposed building of
railroad to Goldfield. -.--
The F. M. Smith Borax company has
surveyed line from point near
Soda Lake to Ash Meadows, and it IS
stated that there is strong proba bill
ity that the borax company, which is a
wealthy corporation, will soon begin
grading for the new line to reach the
borax field John Ryan, the field su-
perintendent for the company, who was
In Los Angeles recently after supplies,
stated that the company was going
ahead as soon as the weather settled
and build the road. The borax prop
erty is located near Ash Meadows, ard
to make the enterprise profitable a
railroad is absolutely necessary. The
Smith company surveyors are yet in
the field, travelling toward Bulfrog and
Goldfield.
Ali of the people in the interior, It
is said, are looking forward to the time
when they can reach Los Angeles by
gas or Tonopah; and mining companies
are also anxious to have the road built
in order that the ore may be taken
from the mines at profit.
January Jones at Work
January Jones, the lucky mine own
er, is one of the leaders in the field
working for a railroad into the noun
tains. He is known to favor the Salt
Lake route. 1t is also known that Mr..
Jones has seriously considered join
ing forces with the Borax King Smith
people to hustle the building of the
Soda Lake branch. Letters from Gold

camps are enthusiastic over the act

pany.
Owen Prentiss, one of the principal
attorneys of Goldfield, in recent let

Jones mining claims, says a railroad
to Goldf1eld would mean increased

OF the entire section.
Mr.. Prentiss writes:

Meeting
Directors Run Up Big
Bills for Private
Expenses

According to Clifton advices stirring
times were had at the last annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Standard
Copper Mines company, resulting in
the arrest of the president, C. A. Ross,
on a charge of embezzlings funds of
the company.
The stockholders, it seems, had be-
come dissatisfied with the management
of the company, and resolved to re-
move Ross and his cOterie of friends
from office. The trouble was precipi-
tated by President Ross proposing the
election of the old board of directors.
Instantly several stockholders were on
their feet, and objected to this pro-
position, declaring themselves in favor
of a new deal.
They accused Ross of practicing pc
culiar economy in abolishing the Lon
don office of the company, which cost
only $500 year, and spending large
sums of money for travelling expenses
for himself and other officers. In one
year Ross, it was claimed, drew from
the company $4,625 in salary and ira
yelling expenses, and there was an item
showing the directors salaries and ira
yelling expenses to have been 1925.
With such extravaganza the stockhold-
ers could see no dividends in prospect
for them. They questioned Ross S
motives and several accused him of
not being exactly honest.
The discussion became very warm,
and when it was at its height share
holders appropriated such books of the
company as they could secure, and in
vited Mr.. Ross to inform his New York
friends of the occurrence.
The meeting broke up in a row. and
after adjournment Ross returned and
organized himself into a meeting, at
which he reelected himself president
and also reelected tn old board of
directors, voting his stock and the
stock he held by proxy. He then
made preparations to return to New
York the next day, but shortly before
train time he was placed under arrest
on a warrant secured by William Hoff,
charging grand larceny by misappro-
prlatiOn of moneys during the years
1904 and 1905. He was given a hear
ing before Justice Neff, who bound
the defendant over to the grand jury
in the sum of $4,000. The bond was
furnished, and Ross left for New
York.

IS TO BE TAKEN HOME.
JEFF Davis Leaves Tomorrow in Charge
of Brother.

jeff Davis will leave Prescott to-
morrow in charge of his brother for the
family home in Inyo county. Because
of business affairs, and to make sure
of reaching Mohave station at the
day set for their arrival, it has been
necessary to delay one day.
The many friends of the sick man
have assisted in every possible manner
to make his stay here as pleasant as
possible. and every effort is being
mad to tighten the burden of his broth
er. w. L. Davis, who has him in
charge. There will be a conveyance
to meet them at Mohave. and convey
them to their home, some twenty miles
distant. 1t is in order to meet this
engagement that Mr.. Davis concluded
to remain in Prescott rather than lay
over at Mohave.
1t is the sincere hope of the host of
friends of the sick man that the change
to his old home will prove a cure for
his malady. His residence in Jerome
several years ago, and his acquaintance
there. led to several inquiries by tele-
phone, which have been received here
by a representative of the Journal
Miner. asking as to his condition.
The more intimate friends of the
sick man are hopeful that he will gra-
dually recover with the change of
scene and careful attention which he
is sure to receive at his home, and
among his own relatives Al Marsh,
who is one of JEFF s warm friends. will
probably accompany him as far as Ash
Fork Junction.

DOG OWNERS, BEWARE!
Poisoner of CANNES Is Again at His
Tricks.

The most contemplate of all das-
tardly work is again in evidence in
Preseott-the poisoning of harmless
dogs-by eowardly persons who dare
not adopt more manly measures to rid
themselves of what they may term a
nuisance. A victim of the poison laid
by some degenerate was Ben Belcher,
the owner of a fox terrier which was
raised by him and. his wife, but by
knowing of the matter in time they
succeeded in, saving the life of their
pet.
From the fact that the dog has been
taught to eat nothing from the street,
and will take no food from strangers
unless offered from the hand, it is GER
tain that some evil minded person fed
the dog with poisoned meat.
Owners of pet dogs who have heard
of this attempt have requested thai it
be made public so that proper precau-
tions be made or taken to prevent fur
Their outrages. There are many va
luable animals owned here, many of
which are popular favorites about the
town, and it is suggested that spe-
eial attention be given them to pre-
vent them picking up poisoned food.
