To Gain In Population

This table plainly shows that when
Los Angeles gets per capita supply of
1850 gallons that 1t will have plenty of
opportunities to grow. The present
population can multiply many times
and yet there will be water enough and
to spare. And the value of water can
not be overestimated.
aside from having plenty of water
for domestic use there will be enough
to make Los Angeles the cleanest city
in the world. There will also be an
abundance for park use and the water
ing of yards"

URGES ALL TO
VOTE FOR BONDS
WATER is NECESSARY SAYS
COUNCILMAN SMITH
LOS ANGELES WILL LEAD
Metropolis of Southern California Will
Have Greater Supply Per Capita
Than Any Other Municipal
ity in the World

THE water bonds will carry 1 be-
lieve, but it is the duty of every citizen
of Los Angeles who has the best III
terests of his home and this section at
heart to overlook the little inconven-
ience it may cause him and go to the
polls and vote for the bonds, for those
opposed to them will be out in force"
declares George A. Smith, councilman
from the Fifth ward and chairman of
the finance committee.
Mr.. Smith has been all over the
ground and knows the Owens river
and the district well. He has been in
and out of the valley for the past
fifteen years and knows whereof ne
speaks when he declares the water
first-class and the supply large, and
that it is of absolute vital Importance
to the city to secure the water.
All over the city men are discussing
the proposition and politicians predict
a heavy vote. In these discussions the
point is taken that no city can be great
without a sufficient supply of water and
many comparisons with other cities
along this line are being made.
Otto Benz of 1877 South Flower street
has made an exhaustive study of this
subject and in a statement to the Her
aid yesterday said:
Los Angeles Will Lead
"If Los Angeles brings the Owens
river into the city as water supply it
will give the city per capita supply of
1850 gallons. What will this mean to
the city? 1t means that Los Angeles
will always be ahead of the whole
world.

Uncertainty in Ohio.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6.=One of the
hottest campaigns in the history of
Ohio closed Saturday night with a
roar of emphatic oratory and in a
haze of uncertainty as to the out
come. The chairmen of the two par
ties gave out estimates based on a
poll of the state which were SO far
apart as to add. to the uncertainty
rather than to indicate a possible
middle ground. For the Republicans
Senator Dick said that his poIl-most

Governor Herrick will be reelected
by not less than $4,000 plurality,
while Chairman CARRIER of the Dem

plurality.

President Roosevelt sees No Way to
Be of Assistance in Russia.

Washington, Nov. e. President
Roosevelt has decided that no action
can be taken by this government at
present which viii be of any benefit
to the Jews of Russia.
This Information was made public
al the White House today in the fol-
lowing statement:
oscar Straus called upon the presi-
dent this morning. not to ask him for
action but to consult with him as to
whether there was any possibility of
action which would result in a cessa-
ton of the horrors connected with the
massacre of the Jews in Russia. The
president stated that, of course, he had
been watching with the deepest con-
Germ the reports OF these nassa cres;
that he had been appealed to within the
last few weeks to try to take some ac-

ians, Poles and Firms. The result Of
the presidents inquiries coincide with

follows:
THE government is horrified at
these outrages. You know that I do
not sympathize with such savage out
breaks All 1 can do to stop the dis
orders is done, but as the country is in
such an unsettled state the local au-
thorities are often poWerless.

ders which actually exist in Russia
the president does not see that any
action can be taken by this gOvernmen

IN A FUSS AT NEWTON.
Mayor CASTOR Boyd Tells of His TrOu-
bles With the Council.

DR.. CASTOR BOYD, mayor of Newton.
was in the city today.
Mayor Boyd is at outs with the city
council of Newton and the echoes of
the disagreement have reached the su-
preme court. 1t was in connection with
his case in the supreme court that he
was in the city today.
The city council is not exactly playing
the Alphonse to Mayor Boyd's CASTOR.
They are not particularly polite to each
other. They do not wait for each other
to act but are each trying to act first.
Mayor Boyd says that the city has been
run eXtravag agantly in the past, that
money in the city treasury has been
prOdiga1ly thrown about. 7 have been
a resident of Newton for the past "a
years. he says, 'and I have managed
to accumulate a little property the re-
suit of hard labor and personal priva-
tions and I have al of this money in

taxes have become so high that 1 find
they eat up all the surplus rental and
there is nothing left.

Mayor Boyd does not mince matters
when he talks of the waterworks super

husbands out of work and starving
wives and children. The pinched
faces and tattered clothing Of the
women, some of whom had babies in
their arms, bore eloquent testimony to
the truth of their complaints.
Enormous crowds of women from
all parts of London marched through
the streets headed by a deputation
which Mr.. Balfour received at the
Office of the local government board.
The "Marseillaise'' was heard as the
procession advanced. perhaps the first
time it was ever heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets of London.

WHITES HARD JOB.
Making Peace With Russian People
More Difficult Than With Japanese.

st. Petersburg. Nov. 6.-The political
situation is most complex. Whether the
government will be able to outride the
popular storm is problematical for
Count Witte will have a harder task in
making peace with the Russian people
than he had with Japanese. In the
midst of the confusion following the alb
dication of absoIutisn there has not vet
been time for a realignment of parties,
but the lines of cleavage are clear.
The extremists, including the socialist
WOrkmen and students, refuse to Sup
port Count Witte and have pronounced
in favor of a democratic republic. The
intellectuals and the professionals un-
der the leadership Of the Moscow zenlst-
VOists are not yet ready to overturn the
monarchy but are convinced that the

Prince Lvof explained to the Associ-
ated Press today that the deputation of
the Moscow constitutionalists, the group
of which he is a member which called
on Count Witte, demanded the convoea-
tion Of a Constituent convention be-
ieved that such a concourse was the
only solution of the present situation.

1T IS ALL OVER NOW.
Norma Grover and Philip Provost
We're Married at Clyde, Kas.

Miss Norma Grover, who has had
more than her share of newspaper
publicity on account of her romantic
love affairs, into which are woven an
elopement and a breach of promise
suit, was married to Philip Provost,
the man in the case, Friday evening
Miss Grover met the man whom she
married about a year ago while visit
ing her brother, who lives near Clyde
ana shortly after became engaged to
marry him. The marriage was Op-
posed from the first by Miss Growers
parents. The opposition of the par
eats Cnly strengthened the determi=
ration on the part OF the young folks
TO marry, and from time to time clan
destine meetings were had. About
three months ago the engagement
was broken and a damage suit for
$1,000 was Immediately commenced
in the district court of Cloud county
against Mr.. Provost. This suit is still
pending in the court there. Miss Gro
yer has been working for the Inde-
pendent Telephone company of this
city for the last few weeks, and this
has given her an opportunity to see
her lover and lay the plans for an
elopement which occurred last week.
On last Thursday Miss Grover left
her home in the morning for her work
and not returning at the usual time
her parents became alarmed. They
instituted search for her and learned
that she had left the city in company
with MI Provost and woman who
is unknown to them.
SIR. Grover, the father of the
5oung lady, said. My daughter left
the city last Thursday in company
with Philip Provost and a lady friend
OF my daughter who mas been assist
ing them in planning their marriage.
They went directly to the home of
brother of Mr.. Provost near Clyde,
" here they We're married Friday
evening at s o'clock Tney Will go
to housekeeping Immediately on one
of the farms which the groom owns
III Cloud county. While we have op-
posed the marriage from the first, it
was not necessary for them to leave
in the manner that they did, for my
daughter is of age and 1 could not
have detained her even if 1 had cared
to. There is no doubt that they are
married, as I have had word from the
priest who performed the ceremony
and also from friends who were pres
ent at the ceremony. They did not go
to Leavenworth, as was at first re-
ported, but took the train for Clyde.
I trust that this marriage viii close

are concerned, for while they have

Waeers of 100000.

indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 6-Both the
Republicans and the Democrats claim
to be confident of victory in the city
election tomorrow. The campaign has
been conducted with much feeling on
both Sides the advocates of former
Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter urging
that the result will have it's effect on
the national campaign three years
hence, as the term of Office of the
mayor has been changed to four years.
while the followers of Mayor John w

insist that the contest has local signifi-
cance only. The sum of 500, 600 has

In salt Lake.
The municipal campaign in Salt
Lake City has been notable principally
for the open attack made on the Nor
mon element, which has dominated
local affairs. Republicans have nomf-
mated William J. Lynch, chief of po-
ice, d gentle. Opposing him in the
race for the mayoralty are Richard
L. Morris, Democrat, and Ezra
Thompson, candidate of the American
PARTY Norris is a Mormon but the
leaders of his church have not openly
shown any preference as between him
and Lynch. In public betting, how
ever, the odds favor either Thompson
or Lynch against Norris.
In Chicago.
President of the board of trustees
OF the sanitary district is the objective
of the race in Chicago, and four can
didates are running. The Republicans
are congratuladng themselves on the
nomination of Robert R. Mccormick,
who has the backing of influential
papers and large financial interests.
Frank Wenter, the Democratic choice
for the Office, is strong among the
union labor element. The Prohibit
tionists and Socialists also have candi-
dates
In Philadelphia.
The election of sheriff, a coroner
and two county commissioners has
provoked a trial of strength between
Mayor Weaver and the Republican
machine. In the five weeks of the
campaign 45O mass meetings have
been held under the auspices of the
Cry party. Mayor Weaver estimates
the majority of the City party at 1OO,-

chine in the city. predfcts a victory
for the organization by a majority OF
from 5000 to $4,000.

Chicago. Nov. 6.-With a general
expectation on all sides today that the
vote win be light, managers of both
the Republican and Democratic or
ganizations expressed confidence OF
victory at the polls tomorrow. Re
publican claims are the more sweep
ing, however and are based upon
allegations of d more thorough or
ganization. Managers have found 1t
almost impossible to create enthu-
siasm for their ticket among the rank
and file of voters and it has become
apparent that the results of the cleo
ton may be determined largely by
organization work in getting out the
voters.
Although there are five judges of
the superior court and one judge OF
the circuit court to be chosen, chief
interest centers about the election OF
a president and nine members of the
sanitary board. A new law govern
ing the election of sanitary trustees
has caused the political parties to
place in nomination full sets of candi-
dates for the first time in the history
of the sanitary district
