 Then there was offered another motion to adjourn But the people responsible for the double commit tee meeting were determined to carry out az far as possible their programme for delivery of the republican party into the hands of the democracy for the coming elec- ton, and Mir. Anderson offered motion to adopt the second and third clauses of the democratic programme, as set forth in the proposition, as 1t came through the conference committee. That was to provide the permanent commit tee from both parties to fight state hood, and to recommend the county conventions to divide the delegates to the constitutional con- vention. Upon that proposition the battle again ragged fercely. Messrs. Gaddis, Dysart, Hnbbell, Hogue, Molloy, Bird and Atkinson all opposed the proposition with all the vigor at their command. When 1t came to a vote seven deserted the programme; three went over to the opposition and four refrained from voting. The result, as recorded in the roll call was twenty-nine for the proposi tion, and eighteen against. About thirty-eight per cent of the vote cast going on record against the infamous proposition, and forty three per cent refusing to support 1t.
 Then the committee adjourned sine die, and the great political snake dance was over.
 Now then to sum up the work done. What is the result? Why, a republican territorial committee in Arizona has tabled a resolution to support the policy of the nation al administration; and has adopted a programme for coalition with the democracy against that de- cIared policy of its own party. No wonder that old veteran republican, Captain Hogue, characterized the whole affair as "an infamous per- formance."
 But the anti-statehood push, in both democratic and republican parties have received a staggering blow. Upon the democratic side they secured unanimity by exclud- ing in advance twenty-two per cent of the membership of their governing body; and upon the republican side they found twenty nine per cent arrayed in a solid front against them, finding also that forty-three per cent were op- posed to the extreme measures they propose. With those two meetings of representative men from both parties there have vanished into thin air the claim that mot five per cent of the people of Ari- zona are in favor of joint-state- hood" And the result that will show when the ballots are counted out of the boxes on the sixth of November, will give them a far greater shock. Things look good tO me.u

LAW COLLEGE
WINS VICTORY
DEFEATS THE COLLEGE OF
LIBERAL ARTS
Factions of the University of Southern
California Engage in Battle for
Control of Oratorical
Association

A contest which has ragged between
the college of liberal arts and the col
lege of law of the University of Call
fornia resulted last night in a victory
for the lawyers Tue trouble arose over
the control of the oratorical contests in
which the university engages each
year. The management of all oratori-
can contests between u. S. c. and
kindred institutions has been left to
an organization Of students called the
oratorical association.
1t is asserted that this organization
has for the past few years existed
practically as a close corporation,
lege of liberal arts and in which only
those standing in" would be admit
ted.
For the last two years the students
of the college of law say they have
been practically refused access to this
association under various pretenses.
Soon after the opening of the school the
students of the law school obtained
possession of the constitution of the
oratorical association and found that
the provision as to membership was
that any student of the University, by
signing the constitution, could become
member. Having procured the con-
stitution, the lawyers proceeded to
affix their signatures thereto and ac-
cording to another provision of the
constitution forthwith called a meeting
of the association at the college Of lib
eral arts
The law students turned out In full

BREAK "H0ODOO"
Tells Heartrending Tale to Police
Court Judge, but Must Serve
Five Days in the City

Hard luck has pursued Martin Cole
during the last three months, but as he
is going to pass the next five days in
Jail he is hoping the 'hoodoo" will be
broken before he again visits the haunts
of men.
He was arrested yesterday morning
charged with begging and in the after
noon told the story of his hard luck to
Police Justice Austin. According to the
tale he arrived in Los Angeles from
the east three months ago. He secured
employment in a machine shop at once,
but a few days later became tangled
with the machinery and his left arm
was broken.
When he recovered he secured a Sec
ond position, but soon afterward
stepped on nail and was compelled to
pass two weeks In a hospital, where
physicians thought he would die Of
lock1aW, but he recovered.
His next experience was with fire,
which occurred in building In which
he was holding his third position, and
he was so badly burned ii was thought
for time he would die. He did not DO
So but when he was able to go on the
street again he was i'm such condition
he could not work. His money had
given out and he was compelled to re-

Police Justice Austin sympathized
with Cole IN his hard luck. but stated
that begging must be discouraged and
sentenced him to five days In Jail.

is to at once set a city value upon it
instead of being situated as it now is,
commanding only county value.
Last night Secretary Virgins said re-
garding the annexation project:
I'VE want to push it for all there is
in it. The chamber has done hard
work in bringing it to its present state
and It is now given over to the consoli-
dation commission for q successful is

strip to San Pedro. 1t is needed in very
many ways. 1t will make another great
opportunity for beautiful boulevards
and other advantages too numerous to
mention"
The following communication has
been sent to voters throughout the
section of proposed annexation:

ber of the junior class of the college
of law, was elected president for the
coming year; Ernesto B. Garcia vice
president and H. j. Bauer, '09, of the
college of law, secretary and treasurer
AS majority of the members of the
association were found to be from the
law department it was decided to hold
further meetings at the law depart
ment Members of the organization are
greatly incensed over their defeat and
threaten to lay the matter before Presi-
dent Bovard for settlement. The law
students are much elated over their
victory
1t is asserted that the breach which
has occurred between the college of
liberal, arts and the college of law is
the first of a series which has culmin-
ated in the alienation of all the col
leges of the university from the col
lege of liberal arts.

GARDENA SHOWS
DEEP INTEREST IN
ANNEXATION PLAN

The consolidation commission was
well represented last night at the mass
meeting held in Jeffries hall at Gar
dena with reference to the annexation
question. B. Tanning was the chair
man.
w. F. Haas, former city attorney of
Los Angeles, spoke earnestly of the ad-
vantages to be achieved by the annex
alton proposition. He explained the
great haste necessary in getting the
project started. He gave facts and
figures that were well received by the
large gathering.
He dwelt upon the legal status of the
project and the advantages to be de-
rived from the privileges to be attained
by annexation to Los Angeles.
Mark Keppel, superintendent of
county schools, candidly expressed his
Ideas regarding the school system and
the advantages which he considered
would be the result of the annexation.
Walter Bacon, attorney of Los An
geles. having in charge the Slauson
tract of 800 acres just outside the city
limits, made a general speech against
the whole proposition, in the course of
which he stated that it was his belief
that San Pedro was decidedly against
the annexation. Upon this several
men claiming to know the status of
affairs in the harbor town refuted Mr.
Bacon's assertions, which brought
forth loud cheers from the audience.
A general discussion arose and the
questions propounded were plainly
answered by Messrs. Haas and Keppel
The chairman of the meeting ex-
pressed his ideas that previous to the
meeting of last night he thought that
the people of Gardena were about
equally divided in the proposition of
annexation, but said that the meeting
had changed the feeling greatly in
favor of the project.
A mass meeting will be held this
evening at the corner of Slauson av-
enue and Main streets in regard to the
proposed annexation. Walter F. Haas
will make an address,
Voting places will be as follows at
the election next Monday:

l. have Just read with keen inter
est Rev. Winfield c. Snodgrass' pro-
test against the lecture which | had
the honor to deliver recently in
Perth Amboy, and your editorial COM
ment upon 1t. 1t is evident that you
were not present, Mr.. Editor, and did
not hear the lecture. Any man less
Omniscient than an editor would have
questioned his competency to pass
judgment upon a controversy concer-
ming which he was totally ignorant.
Let me inform you that the audience
whose patriotic blood" you say
fairly boiled,p was exceptionally in
telligent and responsive. 1t has rare
ly been my privilege to lecture to an
audience so sensitive to every touch
of reason, and quick to answer every
call to human sympathy. Your dis
covery of boiling patriotic blood" is
entirely original with yourself. The
people who heard me must have been
astonished to learn from you that
they had passed through such an ex-
perience.
But Dr.. Snodgrass' protest has real
interest for me. The touch of vindic-
%tiveness in 1t puzzles me. l do not

man. Had the protest ONE from a

scented my illusions In jest to the

the Old Dominion might be able to
account for the evident heat of the
good Doctors emotion. If there were
among his pewholders some substan-
tial citizens owning blocks of watered
stock in railways and traction lines, |
might be able to account for his in
dignation by attributing to him some
selfish motive. If some of his finan-
