.LANGDON TALKS TO
CONTRA COSTANS.
Independence League Can
didate Speaks in the Va
rious Towns of the County
RICHMOND Is FRIGID
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


MARTINEZ. Sept. 27.-Praeded some
twenty minutes by the fife and drum
corps he has engaged to serve as the
advance guard of his trip through the
State, William H. Langdon. Independ-
ence League candidate for Governor,
arrived in Martinez this afternoon. Ths
party had been delayed an hour or
more at Crockett with punctured tire
and the delay was utilized by the can
didate to expound the evils of boss rule.
The breakdown caused complete
alteration of the schedule adopted for
the tour of this county, and it was not
until late in the afternoon that the
party reached San Ramon
While in Martinez Langdon took oc-
casion to recall to the minds of his
auditors his deep regard for
dear old Contra Costa County," where
he had spent several years of his life
and graduated from the public schools.
He spoke at length on the receptive
condition of the minds of the people
throughout the district he has invaded
and assured his hearers that his party
is clean and honorable one and will
make no pledges it cannot fulfill.
We will rout corporate rule and
the bosses and give the people of this
great State a clean administration,
something they have needed for some
time, he said.
He scored the Southern Pacific Com
pany and Herrin for the manner in
which, he claimed, they dominated the
convention at Santa Cruz and Thomas
McCafery, Abe Ruef and Gavin McNab
for the way they were said to have
controlled the convention at Sacrament
to and regulated the nominees. He
closed his oratorical effort with the
statement that there were several
planks of the platform he did not care
to dtcuss, but that the paramount is
sue was the question of whether the
people or the bosses shall rule this
beautiful golden State
Small crowds awaited the party at
Concord and Walnut Creek, but made
no demonstration upon his appearance.
Langdon appeared in Richmond late in
the evening, but met with a rather
frigid reception, owing to the strength

LACK Of FLOORING
HELPS DESMOND.
Failure to Procure Lumber
May Keep Speedway Open
Until After October 1
SOUP KITCHEN GAINS

Because of delay on the part of rep
resentatives of the land and building
department of the Relief Corporation
to place orders for lumber to be used
as flooring in the refugee dining
at Ingleside the removal of the nom
supporting refugees at the speedway
to the Ingleside camp may be delayed
until after October /, the date which
has been fixed for the removal In
the meantime the soup kitchen at the
speedway will continue under private
management
Part of the necessary flooring was
ordered on Friday last and the balance
not until Tuesday Of this week.
D. ]. Desmond, proprietor of the soup
kitchen, is on his part making strenu-
Gus efforts to have his establishment
continue in operation until October Is.
Early in September the plan was per-
fected to have the non supporting
refugees removed to Ingleside, where
their meals will be served by the Re-
lief Corporation. It was then sug-
gested that the removals beAmade about
September 15, but this plan was finally
abandoned and the date fixed for Octo-
Der l, although it was known that Ru-
dolph Spreckels, head of the depart
ment of camps, desired the change
made as soon as possible
Desmond is feeding about 500 refu-
gees at the speedway He receives s270
day for this service, at an expense of
less than 10 cents meal, or $3.50 a
day. This leaves Desmond a profit of
at least $50 a day. Naturally. he is no
hurry to have the feeding of the refu-
gees taken over by the Relief Cor
poration.
Mr.. Spreckels says that no definite
day for the removal of the people at
the speedway has been fixed. but that
it will be done as soon as practicable.
The plan by which the corporation will
take over the soup kitchens. Mr..
Spreckels says, will not be abandoned.

REPEAT STORY OF
TILDEN' s DEATH.

Despite the efforts of both sides to
hurry through the trirl of Malcolm
Vance and George Simmons for the
alleged murder of Heber c. Tilden last
April, the attorneys were only able to
finish the summing up late yesterday
afternoon. Judge Carroll Cook, before
whom the case is being tried, will
charge the jury this morning and the
fate of the two young men will be
probably decided today.
Yesterdays proce edings began with
the continued cross-examination of
Malcolm Vance by Assistant District
Attorney Hanley. AS the time for
limited to fifteen minutes by the court
little change was made in the youths
testimony given Wednesday.
George Simmons was called to the
stand and told practically the same
story as his co-defendant- He alleges
that the hail to halt was ignored by
the automobile party and that he fred
when the machine was passing. Very
little material change in his version of
the fatal shooting was made by the
s-questioning of Hanley-
Hanley then began his opening argu-
menty 1t was brief and to the point
and outlined the principal facts that
the prosecution has maintained. He
claimed that the firing was a reckless

ants and intirnated that II the verdict
could not be murder that at least a
verdict of manslaughter should be re-
turned against the defendants.
j. w. Henderson. who has been as
sociated with Robert Ferral in the de-
Tense of the accused. made the opening
argument for stife defense. He dwelt
solely upon the .tmeasurements and
speed of the .auto and the bullets and
the various phases OF the expert testi-
mony concerning them.
Ferral delivered the closing appeal
of the defense for acquittal. He began
by calling to the jurors minds the
scenes following the fire. He attacked
the statements of r. G.. Seaman. the
mflitiaman in charge of the auto, who
was the principal witness for the de-
Tense. He characterized Seaman's as
sertion that he was not excited when
fifing at the defendants as false.
Ferral claimed that as the prosecu-
ton alleges that there We're from six
to eight men in the party firing upon
the automobile, there was reasonable
doubt that the bullet which killed TIL
den did not come from the rifles of
the defendants. He added that it was
possible that Seaman. shooting wildly.
might have fired the bullet that killed
Tilden, and argued that Seaman was
morally responsible for the death of
1iiuen Dy urging uiiu " Son tihue the
autos flight after being hailed by the
guards.
Hanley made the closing argument
for the prosecution. He urged the jury
to cast aside sentiment and convict the
defendants for crime that was in
excusable. He pleaded for verdict
in proportion with the testimony in
the case, and declared that Seaman
could not have possibly shot Tilden.
The courts charge to the jury will
begin at $3.50 this morning.

Whether Pet of Refugee
Camp Is Public Nuisance
COMPLAINT is FILED

Whether an ilI-smeiling goat is a
public nuisance is to, be. determined
shortly by the Board Of Public Works,
to which that momentous question has
been referred. The determination OF

Leary Of eel Golden Gate avenue. Leary
makes complaint. that goat now being
harbored IN the refugee camp on Ber-
nal Heights, adjoining cottage which
he owns at III Montcalm street is an
intolerable nuisance, owing TO its mai
odorousness.
Leary further AYERS that the afore-
mentioned goat is in bad odor not only
with the tenants Of his cottage but
with everybody else in the neighbor-
hood save the refugees. Leary tear
fully pleads that the goat be at once
removed from his domain, in order that
the adjacent atmosphere may not be
contaminated by its ill-smelling pres
ence-
The Board of Public Works deemed
Leary's plant to be of such Importance

TO get. rid of the goat. After discuss
ing the goat in all of its odorous de-
tails. the board directed Policeman
Beach forthwith TO take the goat by
the horns and remove It from the To-
cality in which it has held sway.

be, made Of the beast. Cuello says he
will at once procure a barrel of cologne
