Gompers, Mitchell, Morrison and
other leaders of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor have unsheathed
their swords and sounded the toscin of
war, calling the hosts of labor rep
resented by them to get into politics.
TO what extent the labor world will
respond to this call, the future alone
Will tell. One thing is certain, po-
litical ties do not hold men bound
as they did some years ago. The old
parties, If they maintain their stand
ing, must relegate to the rear all ele-
ments of graft. and unfaithfulness.
Pickwickian politics. horse-play
grand-stand demonstrations and
promises, with peanut fulfillments
will no longer be winked at. The
cry of the old political warehouses,
that the devil was aloose in the coun-
try but confined solely to the other
party and the other fellows is no
longer accepted as gospel truth. The
voter looks into this matter hint
self, and learning how profitable leg
islation and the non-execution of law
has been to this. and that great in
terest, his stock of caution in vot-
ling increases along with his wis
dom. This is giving rise to new part
les and new leaders in the old ones,
and the result will not be without
some good.

1t is pleasant to note that person

question is being weighed according
to its own worth. Too often in mum

pie who have sinister motives in view,

are not in this campaign and the eff

or dishonesty of the city officials has
fallen fiat. The city is to be congrat-
ulated upon this condition of affairs,
and under such conditions there will
be no room for complaint whatever
the verdict at the polls may be.

PASADENA, oct. 7.--Three little

streak Of heroism In the oldest little
boy of a pronounced and unusual sort
this evening. While his little brother
and sister rushed screaming about the
place little Merrill Waterman stayed
bravely beside burning bed, battling
with his naked hands against the
flames.
He never thought to run for help;
his only desire was to put out the fire
which a match, carelessly lit by his
younger brother Howard, had ignlted.
He had been left at home by mother to
take care Of the place and watch out
for the smaller children and he did
his best only leaving the scene Of the
fire when neighbors rushed In and took
him to safety
AS 1t was his tiny hands were quite
badly burned, but he never made any
complaint as he told his story Of how
the fire caught.

said, "and Howard wanted to go into

to help him put the fire out. The bed
was burning and I tried to pound the
fire till 1t would go away. Then some
people came in and they took the bed
and carried 1t out In the back yard
and the fire engine came and that's
all, I guess"
While the little man was telling his
story klnd-hearted neighbor was rub
bing soda over the burned hands The
lad never made single complaint,
though he said when asked that his
burns hurt him good deal. His is an

leave the three children all alone in
the house. The residence is In one of
the better fleighborhoods Of the city
and those who reached the scene of
the fire first came from the Lincoln

almost directly across the street.
When they reached the scene they
found the interior of the small bed

PASADENA, Oct. There were
two lively brush fires at Raymond hill
today, both Of which required the ef-
forts of many of the Raymond hotel
men before they were extinguished.
At one time the situation became quite
alarming and Walter Raymond, pro-
prietor of the hostlery, took personal
charge of the fire fighters.
The first fire started at 1880 down
on the golf links near the ball ground.
Under the brisk breeze the fire worked
it's way UP the hill very rapidly and
1t was feared that it might spread to
the hotel itself. Some young men were
fighting it and they became panic
stricken and rushed to the hotel for
help.
Mr.. Raymond was taking no chances
and called to his aid all the workmen
about the place. After hard fight
this fire was extinguished and the
men went back to their duties. In
less than two hours 1t broke out again
with even more violence than at first,
and this time 1t looked as though it
would not be checekd until it had
reached some of the big buildings. 1t
burned up several handsome trees, but
a number Of men who had been watch
ing the baseball game took hold of the
battle and the fire was put out after

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PAS -OENA, Oct. lone Of the
most exciting accidents of recent
months took place this afternoon when
Miss Bessie Chamberlain and young
er sister of 144 Elevado drive dashed
through the principal business streets
in q light buggy behind a maddened
horse. The horse took fright on North
Fair Oaks avenue near the car barns
and ran straight south to the Hotel
Mitchell corner, where it turned west
on Dayton street, overturnlng the
light buggy and throwing both OF the
women to the pavement with great
force.
Miss Bessie Chamberlain struck on
her head and left arm, badly hurting
the arm and tearing the skin OF her
face. She was picked up in semi
conscious condition and taken into the
Hotel Mitchell, where DR.. A. D. s.
Mccoy attended to her injuries, Later
she was able to be taken to her resi-
dence.
The runaway took place at about
5 o'clock and If 1t had been business
day a collision would inevitably have
happened, as the young woman was
absolutely unable to guide the horse.
In fact, Miss Chamberlain was SO
frightened that she completely lost her
head screaming for help so loudly
that the already maddened animal ran
even faster than 1t otherwise would
have.
While there were many pedestrians
about there were practically no car
riages or wagons on the street. Just
below the city hall the vehicle mar
rowly missed colliding with big car
and had it done so the result might
have been even more serious than It
was.
Several dozen men who were stand
ing near the corner of Fair Oaks ave
nue. and Colorado street heard Miss
Chamberlain screaming for help ana
rushed out into the street to try and
capture the horse. One of them was
Policeman Schultz. He made plunge
for the bit, but Miss Chamberlain was
pulling so hard on the lines that he
missed It and was knocked aside by the
horse.
The horse forced its way through
the men attempting TO stop 1t and
continued for more than two blocks
south. Just below Dayton street q
big pile of broken rock encumbers the
street, for that section is being as
phalted. Had the horse run into this
pile both the young women must have
been frightfully hurt, However, Miss
Chamberlain retained sufficient pres
ence OF mind to pull the animal around
the corner and In making the turn
the buggy was upset.
