TAGGART WANTS JUDGESHIP.


Porter has a few personal friends
and warm supporters on the Santa
Barbara delegation. AS his brother-in-
law, Easton, manages the Sisquoc
ranch, in which Porter is an owner,
il is not surprising that Santa Barbara
should have friendly leanings toward
the WatsonVille man. That the county
is tied up to him is an impression that
is not altogether correct. Santa Bar
bara has an aspirant Of her own, Judge
]. w Taggart, for whom is sought the
nomination for an Appellate Judgeship
in the Third District composed OF the
Southern counties. Consequently II
has been very plainly stated, except
where direct interest of some other
candidate has a contrary statement.
that the Santa Barbara delegation is
for Taggart These were the instruc-
tions, and a Taggart delegation was
named. =
1t is not outside the limit of posi-
bflfty that Porters claim on the Santa
Barbara delegation may go the way OF
his San Luis Obispo hope. 1t is to be
admitted, however, that the local feel
ing is friendly toward him.
Gillett has been through the south
ern coast section, and it is recorded
that he made a good impression Par
dee has been up and down the coast
several times within recent months, but
he mas not ldNOTSu SANTA odi poA q Wlli
a visit He has dealt literally with
Santa Barbara County, the State Hor-
ticultural Commissioner appointment
coming to Elwood Cooper, and a num-
Der of other appointments having
reached this zone.
Former Mayor George 6. Edwards is
Trustee of the State School at San
Luis Obispo. Edwards and Pardee were
classmates at the University of Califor
MIA, and II was thought at one time
that Edwards was slated for a regency,
but there was slip somewhere. and
the polytechnic institution at San Luis
Obispo was substituted. Cooper is not
much of a politician, and neither is
Edwards so classed, although he did
active work for Pardee four years ago.
There is no sign of a Pardee boom in
this county, but, as the delegation is
unpledged, as far as everything but
Taggart is concerned, there is no tell
ing where the county will finally line
up.

BRADBURY TO HIRE
ALL MECHANICS.
Mccarthy Explains How
the Strike at Stanford
University Was Settled
ALL ARE PLEASED

P. II. Mccarthy, president of the
State Building Trades Council, desires
TO correct certain erroneous state
ments that were given out in eonnee-
tion with the settlement of the strike
Of the union carpenters at Stanford
University. According to President Nc
Carthy, all carpenters will be hired
hereafter directly by Thomas Bradbury,
vice president OF the Colusa Stone Com
pany. a man whom the union carpen-
ters look upon as their true friend.
The principal topic of discussion at
the university was over the hiring OF
workmen by the engineering commits
sion and the board of trustees Presi-
dent Mccarthy and the union mechan-
les contended that this duty should fall
upoF a contractor and that he should
be given full power TO act.
In order that the differences might
be settled a conference was arranged
several days ago between President
Mccarthy and the board OF trustees of
the university. The matter was thor
oughly discussed and another confer
ence. to which the commission OF engi-
neers was invited, was arranged. This
took place on Friday afternoon. Both
sides had their inning and peace was
restored when it was decided that
Bradbury, the contractor in charge of
the work, should be given full power
TO hire all mechanics employed at the
university.
Mccarthy says that this agreement is
very satisfactory to him and the car
penters employed at the university.
Mccarthy adds that the board of
trustees Of the university and the COM
mission of engineers were extremely
courteous to him. he says they were
very fair-minded and willing to listen
to every argument he made on the sub
Ject, and that the settlement of the
trouble seemed to please these officials
fully as well as ii did the union work
men.

PAULDELoNePRE TURNS POET
Anthem Of Liberty" Written and
Composed by the Famous
Flower Artist

Paul de Longpre, the famous flow.
er artist, who has also won considerable
reputation as a composer of late, has
added poetry to his other accomplish
ments. He has just completed the
words and music of his Anthem of
Liberty" which Director Vessella of the
Long Beach Italian band has adopted
for orchestra and band, and that or
ganization will play 1t Sunday. The
director has also forwarded the score
to the Banda Republique of Paris for
rendition there. The verses which M.
de Longpre wrote follow:
ANTHEM OF LIBERTY
Through dark ages the world
Was prey to fire and sword,
The despots f1endish glee,
And no human was free.
Brutal strength was the law,
The people had to bow low.
On rushed the scarlet tide.
No stars illumed the night.
At that stage all humans,
Tossed by storms of war
Saw like a golden light
Immortal liberty, bright star, bright
star!
A new era at it's dawn
At last on the world shown,
Gave all men progress and right,
Brought light out of night.
Chorus
God! o grant thy sons
Liberty and fraternity.
Unite all nations.
Give hope and prosperity.
Throwing aside all war weapons,
All nations this glorious day
Give thanks to God after the storms
Make a day for posterity.
God! grant thy sons
Liberty and fraternity,
And forever
Bring peace and love to humanity.

AMERICAN BRIDE
WON BY MEXICAN
SWEET MUSIC AID TO LOVE-
MAKING
Vaudeville Stunts Tell Audiences OF
His Happiness-slngs to Them
the Airs Which Won Him
His Pretty wife

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25.-On a honey
moon Journey which is to extend to
Europe and Mexico and back to this
country. Senior Nevardo T. Eldrado,
Mexican troubadour, and his American
bride, who was Miss Glare Hoblit,
daughter of Judge James T. Hoblit of
Lincoln, ILL.,, spent yesterday at Piasa
Springs hotel, Piasa Chautauqua.
When Senior Eldrado appeared for the
first time on the auditorium platform to
thrum his suptemar and sing with i'm
passioned vehemence the Spanish love
songs that had won the heart of the
American girl he took the great audi
ence into his confidence. In English
just imperfect enough to be plquant
ne told how great was his pleasure in
appearing because 1t was In Lincoln,
the home of Manager Paisley, that he
had won his "little American wife"
"And 1 love her vera much" he added
with an intensity that caused his little
American wife, sitting with Mrs. Pals
ley, to blush prettily and set a-futter-
ing the hearts Of a few hundred other
women in the auditorium.
Last August Senior Eldrado sang and
played at the Lincoln Chautauqua as a
member of the Mexican trio of sere-
naders. Judge Hoblit, one of the
wealthiest and most prominent men of
that section, was in the audience. He
wanted to hear LA Paloma," his favor
ite composition, and sent a note up to
Senior Eldrado, requesting that he give
it. After the concert there was a re-
ception, and Judge Hoblit, after thank
ing Senior Eldrado for La Paloma," in
troduced his daughter to the Mexican.
Last winter Miss Hoblit went to New
York to stay at the home of her sister
and apply herself to musical compost
ton. Senior Eldrado had a studio there.
They met again and it was not long
until the ardent troubadour was sing
ing serenades to the American girl in
very great earnestness.
When Miss Hoblit returned to her
home she had promised to be the trou-
badour's bride. Senior Eldrado can
celed a European professional engage
ment to give his undivided attention
to his love engagement. When he
learned from the letters of his
"chicka" that her father was none too
we'll disposed toward their romantic
plans he hastened to Lincoln, and, with
all the ardor of his nature, pleaded
with the father for his consent.
The judge was won, as his daughter
had been won, and he agreed to an
early marriage. 1t took place at the
Hoblit home.

was conducted on even a more elaborate
scale.
To keep their beauty from fading,
Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Verrault used to
call In a face specialist. No lines of
care on their faces were ever visible.
Among the most devouted suitors
Mrs. Brown has had during her stay in
New York was a Missouri Pacific Of
fetal. He was about the most liberal
patron of the place and wine would
flow like Niagara whenever he came
to town.
In Police Court
Mrs. Verrault and Mrs. Brown, richly
attired, went to the Essex Market
police court yesterday. They sat
patiently until a motley crowd of
prisoners was disposed of. Then they
approached the Magistrates bench and
Mrs. Verrault told Magistrate Sweetzer
that she wanted a warrant for the ar
rest of her husband on a charge of
abandonment Verrault left her just
before the horsewhipping incident a
year ago. Magistrate Sweetzer said
that she would have to so to the West
Side court.
AS they f1ounced out of the court
room Mrs. Verrault saw young man
standing near the door.
advancing with parasol uplifted.
The man turned around just as the
parasol descended on his head Mrs.
Verraut glared at him and said:
1T serves you right"
The stranger stammered and she
broke in: Count Zolinoff-a nice nut
you are! The idea of your lying about
me-"
Count nothing" replied the man,
rubbing his head. I'm Joe Levy, the
duke of Essex street"
Mrs. Verraut had made mistake
She thought the duke" was one of the
complainants against her.
I'm awfully sorry" she said as she
hurried up the street.
Kiesler, the insurance man, who was
one of the matrimonial "come-ons,"
was given a two weeks vacation by
the Mutual Life yesterday. The vice
president of the company. Robert Nc
Clintock sent word that he wanted
Kiesler to get out of town in a hurry
and stop getting his name in the
papers. Kiesler had not expected his
vacation until September.

WOMAN MAKES A
STRENUOUS PROTEST
OBJECTS TO CONFIRMATION OF
ASSESSMENT
Isabella Hayes Presents Twelve Rea-
sons to the Board Of Public Works
Why improvements Should Not
Continue on Darwin Avenue

Isabella A. Hayes, 3O7 Sichel street
has entered a vigorous protest against
the confirmation of the assessment dis
trict for opening Darwin avenue and
has presented an even dozen argu-
ments to show the board of public
works why it should not be done.
Her objections to the assessment are
that the opening of the street is not
a public necessity; it will be of but
slight advantage to any property east
of Avenue Nineteen; the amount of
damages awarded by the board of ref
erees is largely in excess of the value
of the real estate; the actual cash value
does not exceed $4,000, whereas $26,09l
has been awarded; said appraisement
was not determined by jury; referees
did not file bond; protestant was not
made party to the condemnation pro-
ceedings; assessment unequal and un-
fair; assessment was made in an ar
bitrary manner; special assessment
against land of protestant is wrong,
in her opinion.
The number of the protestants' ar
guments almost staggered the board of
public works and this body is in doubt
what course to pursue In the face of
such strenuous opposition, although
Isabella Hayes is the only one of a large
number Of property owners in the as
sessment district who has made any
formal protest against the improve
ment.

Y. M. C. A. OPENS NEW WORK
Courses in Engineering and Applied
Mechanics In Night
School


During the week the educational COM
mittee of the Young Mems Christian
association has completed arrange
ments for the organization of new de-
partments of educational work, and
expects to be able to make definite
announcements in regard to several
other courses after their next meeting
August 29.
The committee finds that the demand
for industrial and commercial educa-
tion in the city increases much more
rapidly than the facilities in any of
the schools. So many new industrial
plants are being established and former
ones enlarged that there is continual
call for trained men in various indus
trial lines.
A department of steam engineering
and applied mechanics is one of the
departments the association is organ
izing to meet this need.
The department will be in charge Of
John f. Stratton, at present engaged
as superintendent of construction for
the Edison company at power plant
No 3, where the company is making
extensive improvements. Under his
direction the association will offer
three distinct courses. The first, a
NoulSS III PidOtlCdl Stedln engineering,
fitting the student for operating engi-
neer and to pass the civil service ex-
aminations.
The second, modern engine and ma
chine design and engine room practice.
This course will be open to men In
shops and engine rooms, machinists
and machine ereotors having a practl-
cal knowledge of other respectice
lines of employment. Students In both
these courses will be taken on frequent
trips of inspection to the leading power
plants and machine shops.
Mr. Stratton's instruction will be sup
plemented by lectures by other prom
inent engineers
