France Has poWers' Support.

In her trouble with Venezuela, France
has sufficient ground TO justify her
conviction that there will be no appo-
sition from the other nations having
claims against that country, in fact
Great Britain, Italy and Germany have
already so assured her. When you Sc
lect medicine for any stomach, liver,
bowel or kidney disorder you want the
one that offers the best assurance of
being able to cure. Then you want
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and as
proof OF its merit we refer with pride
to the thousands of persons it has al

IN EARLY HOURS
Greatest Interest in Central Wards
Approach of Time for Closing

In the city and town election in pro-
gress today there is a notable stir
among the people and politicians
about the streets The early hours
found things rather quiet. the central
wards. the Third, Fourth and Fifth
showing the greatest interest In the
lower precinct of the latter ward there
were a number of wordy scraps be-
tween committeeman and poll workers,
but no harm was done With
the hour for the closing of the polls ap-
preaching there was an increase in ac-
tivities on all sides, and while there
are close races in some OF the wards
the indications are that the full vote
will not be polled today. The saloons
are closed, according to the re.
quirements of the law.
In the morning, Chief of Police Nc
Caskrin had a white 100-foot wash line
drawn on each side of the approaches
to the polling places as a warning 10
poll workers. 1t was an unnecessary
procedure, but it was characteristic
and harmless.

numbers given by the glee club were
received, as were the
selections of the individual members

numbers ever given here The three

session was held.

California with gas factories in his
train. Reports to the effect that the
Standard OIL Company is going into
the business of making and selling IL
Illuminating gas or that it has any in
terest in any such industry in Califor-
MIA are officially denied from the prin-
cipal Offices of the Rockefeller corpora
tion in New York City.
For some time rumors have been
current in financial and industrial cen
ters that the Standard Oil Company
had new fields of enterprise mapped
out for exploitation in California and
that it had decided to enter the gas
making industry.
1t was announced through some pub
lie channels that Rockefeller would
come to California as the gas man.
The tale carried with it the inference
that the Standard Oil money was to be
used to gain control, perhaps, of some
of the big gas corporati tions in this
State. 1T was said that Standard Oil
coin would be used to establish a
larger plant at its oil works at Point
Richmond. Millions OF dollars seemed
about to be poured forth on these en-
terprises. But this is all fanciful, ac-
cording to a dispatch which has been
received by D. G. Schofeld. vice presi-
dent of the Standard Oil Company. at
the company's Offices, Tenth and Filbert
streets. this city. The telegram reads:
YOU are authorized to say Standard
OIL Company has no interest whatever
in any gas company in California and
has no arrangement to- generate gas
from tanks at Richmond Cal"
The message is from high officials of
the company in New York.

as she started the automobile toward
the center of the road the front wheels
slipped on the wet roadway and one

theatrical life the world over other
wise Mrs. Carrie Holpin, has won her
battle for the PapinJa stock farm, her
beautiful Contra Costa County home
after long litigation, in which she con-
tested against her deceased husbands s
relatives.
Superior Judge Wells decided today
that Mrs Holpin was entitled to letters
of administration upon the estate and
declared her to be the lawful devisee
under a will of her spouse which had
disappeared.
The, contestant was James Holpin,
the dainty dancers father-in-1aw. Mrs.
Holpin charged that a will devising all
of her husbands estate to herself had
disappeared from a trunk at the farm
house between the time of her hus-
bands death in March, 1905, and her
return from the East. When she ar
rived Mrs. Holpin found the farm in
and his daughter, Mrs. Dickson. She
petitioned for letters, as did Holpin, as
next of kin.
At the hearing before Judge. Wells
oral proof was made of the drawing of
the will and documentary proof was
made as to Mrs. Holpin's wifehood,
which her father-in-Iaw tried to deny

turned from South Africa early this
year to make the fight which was won
today.
