DEMOCRATS OPPOSE FUSION.
Do Not Favor an Alliance With the
Hearst League.

Hearst League.
SYRACUSE N. Y, Sept. 17.--An ad-
dress to the Democrats Of the State has
been issued by the committee appointed
by the recent Democratic conference at
Albany. The address declares strongly
against fusion. In part 1t is as follows:
The Independence League has held
its convention and nominated its ticket
and has asked Jefferson Democrats
and Lincoln Republicans to support it..
There was presented at that convention
petition from a number OF men call
ing themselves Democrats proposing
that there should be conference be-
tween. the managers of the Independ-
ence League and the Democratic con-
vention looking toward fusion.
Now fusion, by which two political
parties unite upon the same candf-
dates, usually means sacrifice OF po-
litical principles by both sides for the
chance OF temporary success. 1T al
ways is and must be shameful fall
ure. There Is no reason whatever why
the Democratic party should be be-
trayed into fusion; 1t has principles and
should proclaim them. 1t has plenty
of men fit to be named for places to be
filled at this election. Let 1t place
them in nomination.
Still less should the Democratic party
submit to be annexed by movement
originating for the personal exploita-
tion of one man, however worthy or
worthless the movement and whatever
the character of the man.

FACULTIES TO REGISTER.
Three New Places to Be Opened During

pose of facilitating registration for the

been slow in Registering at the Mission

WILL STRIVE FOR PEACE.
The executive committee of the Mod
crate party at a meeting this after
noon voted to continue its efforts for
peace. Terms were informally dis
cussed. 1t is generally agreed that
Secretary Of War Taft must be the
eventual arbiter, and both in cuban
and foreign business circles the hope
is freely expressed that not only Will
the United States settle the present
strife, but that the American Govern
ment will retain sufficient hold on
Cuban affairs to prevent repetition
Of the past months experiences.

Points OF special and present consid-
GRAFTON in the peace negotiations are
the fixing OF a neutral zone and camp
ing places FOR the insurgent forces and
the supplying Of them with food which
be done by the Government
It Is not believed possible for the
Cuban Government and the insurgents
10 come TO any definite arrangement in
the matter Of securing peace before
the arrival in Havana of Secretaries
Taft and Bacon. This is the way the
situation looks today
Another party OF emissaries left
Havana this morning for FL Cano to

1t viii be impossible to reach and con-
fer with all the rebel leaders before
Wednesday. The most hoped for now is
that Secretary Taft on his arrival will
find matters in readiness for him to
begin adjudication. The moderates are
not yet willing to make large con-
cessions and neither are the liberals,
considering their strength in the field,
willing TO recede much from their orig
inal demands.

SENIOR HEAvIA RESIGNS.
Action Believed TO Be Due to DIssen-
tfOn With Palma.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-The Cuban
Legation late tonight received a cable
gram from the Havana Government
announcing that Senior Heavia, the di-
rector of the State Department OF
Cuba. had resigned; that his resigna-
tion had been accepted. and the Pedro
Diago, the director OF the Department
of Justice. has been appointed to sue
eeed Mr. Heavfa.
The appointment OF q successor to
Diago as director of the Department OF
Justice is not announced.
1t is believed here that the change
grows out of dissention between Pres
ident Palma and Dfago over the forth
coming investigation by Secretary Taft
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon.

NO RIPARIAN RIGHT
AGAINST PUMPS

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 6-An I'm
portant suit, having to do with the
matter of irrigation and of large i'm
portance to Southern California and
all other sections where the matter of
a water supply for the growing of
crops is a factor, was decided by Judge
Munroe in the Superior Court today.
The gist of the courts decision was
that an owner of land is entitled to
sink wells and pump water from be-
meath his own land for necessary pur-
poses, regardless of how the pumping
out of the supply of water may affect
others.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Vic
toria Hudson against a large number
of farmers residing between La Puente
and Spadra, in this county, in which
the plaintiff prayed for an Injunction
against the defendants to restrain them
from pumping the water from beneath
their land and thus depriving her of
a water supply on her own lands. Mrs.
Hudson recited that she was the owner
Of a large tract OF land located on a
tower level than that of the defendants
and that the latter. by drawing water
from the ground, destroyed her own
supply. Her petition was based upon
riparian rights. The court denied the
injunction.

Organized labor works along other
lines than industrial. 1t has done
much for the cause of temperance
among workingmen. There is prob
ably no other philanthropic organiza-
ton which is doing more in this di-
rection. In many instances there is
a prohibition clause in the contract

War Department Agent Sends In Re-
port VIII Insure beginning
of Work at Once

Completed plans and suggestions for
the great docks and warehouses at Fort
Mason for the transport department
were sent yesterday to the War De-
partment in Washington by Captain B.
Frank Cheatham. Since his arrival
here early in November he has devoted
all his time to making surveys OF the
bay. off Fort Mason, with regard to the
building of the Government docks
there.
In the report Of Captain Cheatham
the data on soundingS shows that the
wharves can be built on a thoroughly
substantial foundation. one almost
equal in strength to the rock Of Glib
raltar. The soundings were in every
way satisfactory to Captain Cheatham.
The big docks are to be the most SUBJ
stantial and completes belonging to the
War Department and will cost 1,000,-
900. This great work. which is to be
of such an enormous advantage to this
city. will begin within a short time The

are to begin simultaneously with the
big docks, will cost another $1,000. 600.

The machinists' lodge of Los Angeles

is leading many non-union men to
join. Notwithstanding the strike that
has been in progress on the Santa Fe
system for many months, the mem
bership of the lodge is constantly in
creasing and is stronger now than ever
before.
Inquiry by the postmaster of St.
Louis into the organization of the post

that the new organization is the result
of friction in the National Associa-

branch in that city. Most of the
clerks who have joined the new union
were members of the older organiza-
ton. They withdrew, claiming to have
grown dissatisfied over the continual
chickering's of that body. The new
union is affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
