Gillett Is Used as Buffer II
Work of the Interests
BY George A. Van Smith

Stockton for Speaker, and Miguel Es-
tudillo of Riverside as the stalking
horse.
The campaign, so far as the candi-
dates are concerned, seems to be
most perfunctory canvass, with more
or less whist1ing for courag ge, pending
the decision of the determining power
The candidates are p A. stanton of Los
Angeles; A. NJ. Drew of Fresno; N c.
Coghlan, San Francisco; Miguel Estu-
dillo, Riverside; Frank Devlin, Sacra-
mento, and Warren NJ Johns, San Luis
obispo.
Shortly after election it was given
out that a Speaker from the southern
part of the State would be logical, both
as a too long deferred recognition
of the claims of the south and
as delicate compliment TO
the organization and voters who so
highly pleased Gillett by giving him
the votes that made him Governor A
little later the idea of good, close party
men was still that the south should
have the Speaker. but. of course, if the
southern strength was not garnered in
by one man, this altogether desirable
preferment stood a chance of again re-
posing in the north. Then the Los An
geles delegation got together and
agreed to do nothing. That served as
an excuse for turning out the Stanton
lamp.
JOHNS Is CONFIDENT
Warren Johns says he is candidate
for the Speakership and with char
acteristic modesty announces that he
is to be Speaker. Through his rosy
colored glasses Johns can see himself
the chosen, champion, marching at the
head of a solid phalanx. including all
the central coast counties members, a
considerable portion of the delegations
from the southern counties, a slice Of
the San Joaquin Valley strength and
others equally certain, but less def
nitely located.
Johns say the central coast coun-
ties have not had the Speakership in
years, but that they will have it in
the next Assembly and that he will be
It The organization people admit Johns
has the right line on history, but in
sist that he is showing poor form as a.
prognosticator.

RUEF's INFLUENCE GONE

And Coghlan. poor Coghlan is a
stall" The wheel horses of the or
ganization have discovered that Ruef
is too busy attending to theAmore i'm
mediately personal matter of avoid
ing vindication from the charge of
municipal looting to elect a Speaker.
even if he never did have any serious
intention of electing Coghlan It is
also pointed out with considerable
show of probability that those mem
bers from the country districts who
were relied upon to take their cue frorf
the curly boss have, since the San
Francisco Grand Jury got perniciously
active, taken to another clump in the
political woods. Regardless of the al
legged fight of Ruef's country members.
the San Francisco delegation will be
able to hear its masters voice until
he is a political dead one which de-
termination Ruef is not attempting to
hasten by expediting the wheels of irs-
tice.
Devlin is a Pardee man, which makes
him wholly undesirable from so many
standpoints. During the recent cam
paign and before it he is reported to
have said real cutting things about Gill
lett and the manner of his nomina-
tion. A slam at Gillett might be for
given, but objection to the manner Of
his nomination is heresy of.the kind
to awaken very grave doubts of his
Willingness to stand hitched.
Estudillo. it is given out, is a spIen
did candidate, really quite the ideal
man to take the Speakership to the
south, but there comes the ever-present
fear that the Riverside man cannot
unite the south in his support 1t is
really most discouraging, and it seems
that the friends of good organization
government will be forced to unite
behind Beardslee of Stockton

capable. In some respects he could be
considered desirable Speakership tim
Der. But unfortunately his attitude
toward the head of the ticket and un-
named previous political conduct have
raised a fear that he is a ..wobbler,' .
in fact lacks that tremendous strength
of character essential in-the man who

liberations of the Assembly.

NEW INSURANCE LAWs.
Legislation Affecting sO,0OO Members
 is Adopted.

New Orleans. Oct. 24.-New insurance laws affecting SOOOO policyholders were officially adopted to-day by the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias. The fea- lures of the laws are:
 An increase in the maximum policy from S3,O0O to $5,O00.
 An increase in the age limit at which members can be insured from 50 to 60 years.
 The creation of new fifth class of insurance. This class involves a com plete change from the old fraternal congress to the American experience ta- ble with interest at 1-2 per cent.
 There will be annual accountings, an annual dividend policy, returning to. the member at the end of each year all over and above the cost of carrying the risk and expense of management
 All policies under the new system be- come ineontestable after three years.
 Privilege is given policyhoders in the fourth class to transfer into the new fifth class, taking the same amount without new medical examination

nLARsr MEETINGS.
Addresses the ItaIiun American Voters
 at Cooper Union.

New York, Oct. 24.-Demonstrative welcomes were given William Randolph Hearst, tie Independence league and democratic gubernatorial candidate, at several meetings addressed by him in Manhattan and Brooklyn tonight. The largest meeting was arranged by Ital- ian-American voters at Cooper Union. In his address there MT Hearst said;
 II did not make the fight against the coal trust, in which I spent $250,OOO, to save the increased cost of coal at my home. but to save hundreds of thou- sands of dollars in increased cost of the homes of all the people. did not fight the ice trust and the gas trust to save the increased cost of the ice and gas which used in my own home, but to save the cost in your home and in all the homes in this city
 "Mr. Hughes says that did not make the fight against the gas trust, but that Edward B. Whitney made that fight
 "Mr. Hughes began by saying that he himself won the gas cases, but when we disproved that, then he said that Whit ney won it. Now, four years ago MT. Whitney was employed by MT Shearn a few times to attend to gas matters. He lost some of the cases and 1 am sorry he did, because I paid his retain CT, which was $1,500. I can understand why Mir. Hughes mentions Whitney, for if he exhibited any public spirit at all in the insurance investigation he ex- hibited just $25,000l worth. And in the election cases I retained Austen J. Fox at $7,500 If I got any patriotism out of MT. Fox I got $7,5OO worth. That is all he had. MT. Fox was so afraid of the corporations that he said he was not in sympathy with the case, but sim ply took 1t for the retainer. I do not deny his right to do that, nor the other lawyers that I paid $1,50O, $3,OO0 and $75OO to.
 "The point is just this: I do not deny the right of a corporation attorney to argue any side of the case for fee, but I do deny their rights to question the sincerity of men who are making fights without any fees for the people.
 T will unceasingly continue to carry on the fight to have your votes counted as cast, and we will not cease that fight until we have driven out of the city hall that wretched little sneak thief who stole your votes and does not be- long there"

SUMMER HOME BURGLARIES
TWO AT GREENWICH ARE RE-
 PORTED TO POLICE.
Places of Two New York Families En- tered--Nraid and Cook Alone in One of the Houses nt the Time-Former Claims She Was Chloroformed--- Money and Jewe1ry Taken.

Greenwich, Oct. 24.-Burglaries at the summer homes here of two New York CTS were reported to the police this aft ernoon. One of these is alleged to have occurred at the residence of K. w. Rus. sell, of New York, during the absence of the family. It is alleged that the maid and cook were alone in the house, when a stranger, who is described as a tall man with a sandy beard and wear ing dark overcoat, knocked at the door The maid opened the door and it is said that the man then struck her, knocked her down and chloroformed her, after which he went upstairs and secured $55 from the maids room and several hundred dollars worth of jew elry from Mrs. Russelrs room, and dis appeared The maid was discovered by the cook, who summoned medical at- tendance and the police, to whom the maid told her story.
 The other burglary is said to have been at the house of Dr. F. H. Brinley of New York The house is locaed at Riverside, where, it is said, large part or the houSenOlu gOouS Hdu been pdckeu ready for removal to New York. There had been no one at the house for sev- eral days, and the burglary, which, it is believed, occurred on Sunday, was not discovered until to-day, when the two sons of pr. Brinley went to the house. They found, it is said, that burglars had gained entrance through rear window and are believed to have spent there all of Sunday and until early Monday morning. They had evidently cooked meals and slept in the guest chamber, where an alarm clock set for 4:S0 a. m. was found. Several hundred dollars worth of goods is said to have been taken, including silver, silk goods and other articles. The police are in- vestigating.
