MESMER SURE FOR
BOARD OF WORKS
MAYOR YIELDS TO TAMMANY
CLUBS DEMAND
IS ASSURED OF ITS SUPPORT
Conference Between Leading Demo-
Gratis and Mr.. MeAleer Believed to
Have Resulted In Decision on
One Member Of Board

Joseph Mesmer will be the Demo-
cratic member of the permanent board
of public works unless a break occurs
in the present program Some of the
best known politicians in the city make
this statement and Furthermore de-
clare that the entire board will be
named and confirmed within six weeks
from the present time.
mayor McAleer has already agreed
to appoint Mesmer to the board" said
a politician yesterday. "A short time
ago, after his first board had been
turned down by the council, he sent for
the directors of the Tammany club and
asked them to name the Democratic
member Of the board.
Accordingly the directors of the
club called on the mayor and had a
consultation with him lasting several
hours. He asked the club to indorse
the appointment of John r. Mathews
to the board, but this the directors
refused to do.
Mayor Yields
"Then the mayor asked who the
clubs man was and he was told that
Mesner represented the clubs notion
of what a member Of the board of
public works should be. McAleer Mt
first declined to consider his candidacy
and rehearsed to the directors the his
tory of the old feud between himself
and Mesmer, adding, however, that
that was all over now and that he was
willing to let bygones be bygones.
when the meeting broke UP the
directors of the Tammany club went
away with the mayors assurance that
Mesmer would be named. With the
clubs backing there is little doubt that
he will be confirmed by the council.
"The only thing left for the club to
do now to complete it's work is to
get the disgruntled members of the
Democratic party who have been fol-
lowing Mathews into line, and from
the outlook at the present time 1 think
this will be easy.
''Mr. Mesmer is one Of the best
known men in Los Angeles. Every
body knows him and everybody knows
that he is honest. He is a man of wide
business experience who has held posi-
tions Of trust and has gained the con-
fiderce of the people. He will not be

Feel Grateful to Roosevelt

Baron de Rosens reports regarding
his interview with President Roosevelt
have been received here, and their pc
rusal by the government has only in
creased their feeling of gratitude and
appreciation for President Roosevelt's
continued efforts. Baron de Rosen's
communications to the emperor are
such as do not require special answer
Hopefulness was especially noticed
here yesterday, and it is believed by
some that Russia's answer will give
material evidence OF such sincere de-
sire to reach settlement that Japan
will practically be forced to accept it or
appear before the world as utterly un-
reasonable and Unsuitable.
1t is believed that the questions of
the surrender of interned ships and the
limitation of Russias naval power in
the far east will be satisfactorily set
tied There then remain the questions
of the payment of indemnity and the
cession of Salkhalin by Russia. The
first may be overcome by Russia's fol-
lowing Japan's lead in avoiding the
use of the word Indemnity" but con-
senting to make certain payments to
Japan on other scores, the chief of
these being Japan's bill for keeping
900 prisoners, which is expected to
be very heavy. The sums mentioned
as the possible payment on account Of
these prisoners range from $4,000, 900
to $150,OOO,0OO.
Little or nothing is obtainable here re-
garding the possible disposition of the
question relating to Sakhalin. Inter
est has been manifested lately in the
attitude of the Japanese people, and it
is recognized in some quarters that the
Japanese government and plenipoten-
tiaries may have to shape their course
to meet and satisfy the demands voiced
by the Japanese public.
There is reason to believe that the
idea that Japan might not be able to
find money to continue the war has
not been considered here as serious
weakness in the Japanese position.

with the receipt of st. Petersburg's last
message the brief breathing spell will
have ended. st. Petersburg leaves the
final word with her representatives at
Portsmouth.
The Associated Press is in a position
to state that when the naturefof these
communications becomes generally
known IT will be seen that, in a sincere
desire to effect satisfactory settle-
ment, the government has gone as far
as its extremely vital state interests
will permit. 1t can further be said that
for this reason the government is firmly
negotiations, the responsibility will not
rest with Russia, which has conceded
much already. While 1t is impossible
to learn the actual contents of the
governments communication to M.
Witte it can be declared that the re-
quirements of the state make conces-
sions of the questions of indemnity and
Sakhalin, as those questions were or
iginally presented by the Japanese, i'm
possible.
1t is certain that the four points now
in dispute have been considered and
studied in the light of the concessions
Russia already has granted on the
other eight articles.
The foregoing is a brief but accurate
outline of the platform upon which NJ.
Witte will meet the Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries today.

Senator Plumb particularly need d
him, the senator introduced a resOlU-

OF any kind of liquor to employees of

livered an impassiOned speech in favor
of the resolution.
