Republicans were victorious in yes
terday's election, Louis Kan being the
only republican not elected and his de-
feat being compassed by a small ma
jority of three votes.
The contest about which it seemed
the greatest amount of interest and
speculation centered was that between
Mike Davis and Monks Goodwin
for the office of chief of police. 1t is
safe to say there was more money
placed on these two men than on all
the other candidates.
Mike" won out with a total of 992
votes against 70S polled for Goodwin.
The reelection of George Kellough,
mayor, which was a certainty from the
start, was effected by a majority Of
53S votes there being a total of 1,0S5
votes cast for him against SAT for w,
NJ. Van Patten.
Oscar Cain won out in his fight for
the coveted office of city attorney on
the narrow margin of "A votes.
The following is a table showing the
number of registrations at each pre-
cinct. the number of votes cast at the
primaries and at the city election.

Diagnosis by DR.. Brajen showed
the cause of the death to be an ulcer
of the stomach complicated by peri
tonitis, caused by drunkenness and de-
bauchery. That he was a confirmed
drunkard and wanderer was shown by
his condition and papers found on his
person.
Recipes and prescriptions found on
his person indicate his name is not
Clifford as he said. but that it is
Adam Miller. Two receipts were
among the papers. These were both

Committee. More Trouble

OAKLAND. CAL, July 9-Hopes of a
speedy settlement of the telegraphers'
strike were abandoned this morning
when the assistant general superinten-
dent refused to receive the committee
of strikers, informing them through the
chief operator the company had no in
tention of receding from its attitude
of not recognizing the strikers other
than as eXemployes and of hearing in
dividually any grievances they may
have.
The committee refused to entertain
the proposition and the conference last
ed little more than five minutes.
Small fastened to strike headQuar-
ters and it is believed that within a
short time he will issue orders for
strike in another large city.
President Small issued the following
statements:
The coming of Labor Commissioner
Neill and the members of our general
executive board will not change my
plans. Our future moves will be for
chile and decisive.
In the future We'll have to pay less
attention to the feeling of the opposi-
ton and public opinion and carry on
our fight with more determination and
with but one object in view, that of
gripping the enemy until they are
willing to meet us in a peace confer
