GREATER CITY
IS FAVORED
Continued from Page OneJ


be about sixty days before annexation
was accomplished to the extent of ex
tending police regulations to Ascot
park. This would permit of the COM
pletion of about half of the racing
season of ninety days.
1t Is believed, however, that unless
the owners of horses now on their
way to Los Angeles are assured of at
least sixty days of racing they will
ship their strings to other southern
circuits.
The complexion of the incoming
council may have an important bearing
on the question.
Very little interest was taken in the
election in Los Angeles, as it was gem
orally believed that the vote in the city
would be overwhelming in favor of an
neXation.
In Los Angeles there were 1866 votes
cast, of which 6741 were in favor and
925 against the project.
The same degree of apathy prevailed
throughout the district to be annexed,
with the exception of Green Meadows,
in which is located Ascot park, by rea-
son of the belief entertained by many
that the vote in Los Angeles city would
decide the question and that this vote
practically would be in favor of an
nexation. This belief resulted in at
least 100 voters remaining away from
the polls.
Another reason for the light vote
in Los Angeles was that. many voters
were not aware of the fact that many
of the polling places in the various
wards had been combined for the oc-
casion, with the result that those peo-
pie who went to their accustomed
voting places and found that they had
been consolidated with others refrained
from voting rather than search for the
elusive ballot box.
TO Come Into Los Angeles
The district annexed yesterday COM
prises several square miles of territ ory
adjoining the present limits on the
south. Below the present boundary the
eastern boundary will be Central ave-
nue., while the western boundary will be
Arlington avenue.
From this district southwark runs
what has been termed the "Shoestring,''
which is half a mile wide and runs
along the eastern side of Vermont ave-
nue. almost half the distance to San
Pedro and then crosses Vermont ave-
nue., which then is the eastern line OF
the "Shoestring."
At the lower limit the boundaries OF
both Wilmington and San Pedro are
skirted.

Gates CORRECTS
WRONG QUOTATION
FAv0RS CITY OPERATING ITS
WATER SUPPLY
General Plan Of Municipal Ownership,
He Believes, However, Would
Jeopardize city's Credit
at This Time

Members of the non-partisan city
committee and advocates generally OF
the non-partisan movement yesterday
expressed themselves as highly graft
fed by the successful opening of their
campaign Saturday night at Simpson
auditorium.
"The size of the audience and the en-
thusiasm displayed certainly were aug
uries of success" said Secretary Liss-
ner Yesterday. From now on we will
conduct an active campaign in the sew
eral wards. The campaign in the Ninth
ward, where M. T. Collins is a candi-
date for the council, will open Thurs
day night. The meeting will be held in
the A. o. U. w. hall on East First
street, Boyle Heights. Mr.. Collins will
be one of the speakers"
Lee G. Gates, non-partisan nominee
for mayor, said yesterday that in the
report of his speech at the auditorium
Saturday night he was quoted as op-
posing municipal ownership of the
owens river system. In correcting this
error Mr.. Gates said
Il am most heartily in favor and
am a most enthusiastic supporter of
the municipal ownership of the entire
city's water system, as will be seen
from perusal of my letter of accept
ance
1.-THE water of Owens river and the
consequent light and power generated
in its transmission form most valua-
BILE part of our municipal properties,
and should be most zealously and care
fully guarded for the use and benefit
of the city and it's people No part
thereof should be squandered, but all
should be held. used and applied for
the benefit of the city and it's inhabit-
ants.
GAS stated in my letter, the owner
ship of these commodities will form an
experimental base from which further
municipal ownership may be extended,
in case it be found advisable from ex-
perience, but to enter at this time,
upon a general plan of municipal own
ership-that is, an ownership of all
public 'utilities-would be to frighten
the investing public and to interfere
with or seriously retard the selling of
the bonds for the water project
This is the threat which 1 see in the
proposal to enter into general mu-
nicipal ownership scheme"

Be BESOLD' s WIFE
WOMAN SEEKS ANNULMENT OF
MARRIAGE
Says Man on Trial for Murder Claimed
to Have Wealth and Proposed
on Day Body Was
Found

AS an aftermath of the exposure of
Anton Besold's many marriages and
of his most recent marriage to Mrs
Martha d. Pickett, in connection with
the murder trial, Mrs. Pickett yester-
day filed a petition for annulment or
marriage with the county clerk and an
immediate trial will be granted.
The power of Besold over women and
the smooth and easy way in which he
managed to install himself IN their
good graces is set forth at length in the
petition for annulment.
According to Mrs Pickett's state
ments, Besold became known to her
early in July and at that time was
married to Mrs. Cladie Besold, the al
legged victim of the Temescal canyon.
Mrs. Pickett was a hard working
woman, manager Of boarding house
on South Figueroa street, and, accord
ing to her statements. Besold told her
that he owned 32O acres of timber land
In the state of Washington which was
valued at about $4,000 and which was
constantly increasing In value.
She further alleges that he told her
he possessed considerable personal for

Y0UNGW0RTH IS FORCED
TO TURN DOWN SCHWAEBE
AS DEPUTY U. S. MARSHAL

There is much wailing in the Mutual
Admiration society," section of the local
Republican organization.
City Auditor Schwaebe, turned down
for the nomination as county auditor
at the Venice convention, again has
been given the Same treatment in con-
nection with the chief deputyship under
United States Marshal Youngworth.
Youngworth greatly desired to ap-
point Schwaebe to the position, which
draws a salary of $500 per year, but
Walter Parker stepped in and dictated
the appointment of Albert Sttel, at
present deputy in the office of the
county surveyor.
Youngworth is said to have clung to
Schwaebe until Senator Flint advised
the marshal to heed the dictum of the
boss, and announcement of SltteFs ap-
pointment followed.

tune and that he had just inherited an
estate of $4,000 by the death of his
mother in Switzerland.
That was the beginning of the court
ship and Mrs. Pickett told of her own
ership of property in Dolgeville and
other property holdings.
He disappeared for a time and upon
his return proposed to her on August
8. That was the day after the grew
some discovery of the body in the
Temescal canyon.
They were married at Santa Ana on
August 21 and later, just before trip
to Switzerland, Besold disappeared and
was later captured in Washington and
brought back on the charge of murder.
According to many other pieces of
evidence held in the trial of Anton Be-
sold. the Bavarian told many such
stories to Los Angeles women. His ver-
satility is shown in the numerous
stories already told of the disappear
ance of his wife. He first alleged she
had run away to a Mexican mining
camp with one of his enemies; later
that she was in a West Virginia sani-
tarium under treatment for consump-
tion; that she had died and had been
cremated in San Francisco by his or
ders. and last that she had disappeared
and he presumed that she had gone to
visit relatives I'm some distant town.
These stories as we'll as those told
by Besold of his many possessions are
all discredited, and Mrs. Pickett is GER
tain that she can secure an annulment
on the ground that she was deceived In
the marriage even II she fails to prove
that Besold was bigamist. The latter
is doubtful, because OF the fact that
with Mrs. Besold's death Besold was
free to marry whom he wished, and the
deception theory will probably form
the chief feature of the trial.

TO SEND GIRL TO WHITTIER
Mother Despalrs of Being Able to
Control Wayward Daughter
at Home

Bertha Spellman, the sixteen-year-
old girl who ran away from her home,
2391s South Hill street, last Monday
morning and did not return until Fri
day night, will be sent to Whittier, ac-
cording to her mother, who in COM
pany with detectives. had searched the
city and suburban towns for her
daughter.
"I am sure don OF know what to do
for the girl" said Mrs. Spellman last
night. 81 have done everything in my
power to keep her from doing wrong,
but recently she got in with bad COM
panions and her running away was the
climax of a number of wayward things
she has done. If she goes to Whittier
1 feel sure she will be taught what is
the right thing to do, and although 1
hate to have her leave home, am sure
1t will be the best for her."

nADE FROrI NATIVE ROOTS.
SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure'
Of human maladies Is we'll proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
sQuaw to get we'll as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy Tor te-
same root-called Blue Cohosh-in his

Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use OF Doctor

Prescription is a harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without drop OF alcohol In its

quantities OF spirituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate

is generally taken by some party:
They do not recognize. the fact
that it is the independent who

means the opinion of the men
