FOR STATE SERsIlR
Hon i t Taylor Announces IS
Candidate for ihs Democratic
Nomination
To the Democratic Voters Of the 18th
Senatorial District:

In asking you to give me the nomi-
nation and make me your candidate
for state senator | thought you might
wish to know how I stand on the ma
terial issues now up for settlement.
Without at this time attempting to
give detailed reasons for my views, |
shall briefly state my position. |
will make speeches at various places
over the district before the primary
and will then give the reason for the
faith teach.
In the first place, our constitution
1 is indeed a model 1t throws more
safeguards around the common peo-
ple's rights than possibly any other
like document now in existence; it is
the foundation, it now remains for
+, future legislatures, and especially the
first one, to give grace, shape and
stability to the structure; it would
therefore be my aim to assist in the
adoption of laws which would vital
ize our constitution and not cripple
it.
I would put forth the best effort Of
my life to secure for you one, al
least, of the several institution
which the state will need to locate.
One of the first measures l woult
like to champion would be a bill tt
enforce the separation Of the blacl
race from the whites in schools, il
passenger stations and on trains an
street cars. This state must now b
and forever remain free from negr
domination.
"A mandatory railroad commission
elected by the people, with full pow
ers to enforce obedience to it's fint
ings Is one Of the chief essentials j
this day Of railroad extortiOns an
determinations
The initiative and referendum
the great safety valve in our. govern
ment machinery; no other provisio
Of our organic law is half SO sil
nificant as guarantor Of civic Ii
erty.
/ shall, if your senator, seek
| make our public school system secor
to none.
I Children of tender years shou
not be allowed to work in sactorie
mines and other places where th'
are dwarfed mentally, morally al
I physically.
4 Children convicts should be held
: reform schools and never placed wi
hardened criminals.
A A perfect system Of good roads
y essential to any progressive col
munity. Criminals convicted Of sml
grade offenses should be worked up

WOULD REPLACE TRESTLE
WITH NEW DRAWBRIDGES
Secretary of War Receives Application
Seeking to Replace Ancient
Woodwork with Steel
Structure

Agitation for a drawbridge over the
channel to the inner San Pedro harbor
has eliminated in an application to the
secretary, of war to compel the Southern
Pacific and Pacific Electric Railway COM
panies to replace the present trestles.
The matter has been placed in charge
of Can't. Amos Fries of the engineering
corps, who has called a meeting to be
held at the city hall in San Pedro at half
past 2 in the afternoon of September H.
when those interested will be required TO
present their claims in writing.
The proposed change requires the IN
stallation of a drawbridge that Will per-
NIT of a clear channel 100 feet in width,
to swing sixty degrees from the line OF
the trestle or bridge structure. 1t is also
specified that the bridge be equipped with
machinery capable of operating the draw
in thirty seconds from fully opened or
closed position.
Considerable opposition is expected from
the railroads involved as the change
would require an expenditure OF several
hundred thousand dollars.
The government has at great expense
dredged the inner harbor which, when
completed, will more than double the
present shipping capacity and make San
Pedro one of the largest harbors on the
coast
Two big dredges are at present at work
on the deepening of the channel and basin,
the mud from which is pumped through q
pipe line into the Miner bulkhead In the
outer harbor. The work will require sew
eral years to complete.

Rumors of another transcontinentai
railroad To reach tidewater on the coast
were verified yesterday by John ID.
Spreckels of San Francisco, who arrived
at the Alexandria from San Diego, where
he had been looking over the local end
of the situation.
The new line, which will reach from
San Diego to Yuma, Ariz., will be ex-
tended to San Antonio, Tex, later to
connect with the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railway, which has its western
terminus at that point. The Katy has
long wanted an outlet to the Pac1flc
coast and at conference between Mr..
Spreckels and A. H. Joline, president OF
the NJ, K & T., the details of the deal
are said to have been consummated.
While not denying that the conference
had resulted favorably for the parties In
terested Mr. Spreckels would not admit
that any agreement had been reached.
81 have already had many proposals
for a connecting line for the new road, :
he said, "and the construction work viii

'San Diego is at present enjoying
building BOOM" continued Mr.. Spreckels,
land the prospect of direct communica-
ton with the east will give the needed
vim to the other commercial interests.
"They have recently settled the great
question of an adequate water supply,
lust as your city has decided to bring in
plenty of good, pure water from Owens
river"
Mr. Joline of the M, K. & T. railroad
is also staying at the Alexandria but de-
clined to state anything for publication
in connection with the deal.

HIMSELF

Found in Dying Condition
in Room of Lodging
House

William M. Stratham, clerk employed
at the city hall, made an attempt to Kill
himself last night in a room in the Lacy
lodging house. 126 South Main street. by
slashing his left wrist with a. razor.
He was discovered before he had ac-
coplished his object and was removed to
the receiving hospital, where Drs Quint
and Goodrich bandaged his wrist and
stimulated him so he is in no danger OF
dying.
Shortly after he was taken to the hos
pital his wife, to whom he was recently
married, arrived there and later took him
to their home at SIT Dexter avenue.
Stratham has been drinking heavily
lately, and last night went home in an
intoxicated condition. AS soon as his
wife ascertained his condition she told
him that if he ever came home intoxi-
Gated again she would leave him and re
| turn to her mother in Hollywood. STRAIT
| ham took this chiding much to heart ant
a few minutes later left the house, saying
he was going downtown.
He went directly from his home to a
saloon beneath the Lacy house. There he
purchased bottle of whisky, and going
upstairs to the lodging house rented a
room for the night.
He entered the room, locked the door
and drank portion of the whisky. After
ward he lay down on the bed and slashed
his left wrist with razor which he had
brought from his home.
The wound severed several of the
smaller arteries and If he had not been
discovered within a few minutes he would
undoubtedly have bled to death.
The landlord of the establishment from
whom Stratham rented the room noticed
he was acting strangely, and shortly after
the man had gone to his room he followed
and looked through the transom over the
door.
He saw Stratham lying on the bed with
the blood gushing from his wrist, and he
at once broke down the door and ran into
the room. He first bound up Stratham's s
arm and then sent an alarm to the police
station. The patrol ambulance was sent
to the place at once and the man removed
to the hospital.

CASE AGAINST CHRISTIAN SCI

ING is TO BE GAINED
AIlenIst Who Examined Mental Con-
dition of Church Leader Says
She Is Competent to
Manage Affairs
Rz Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
CONCORD, N. H., Aug. A.-The suit to
detrmine the mental competency of Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, head and founder
of the Christian Science church, was to-
day Withdrawn from court on the motion
of the plaintiffs
Counsel for the next friends an
nounced that the suit for an accounting
of the property of the Christian Science
leader was withdrawn for many reasons
principally on account Of the "unproft-
ableness of any immediate result of a de-
cision in our favor upon the exact issue,
as now framed, compared with the bur-
dens and disadvantages to be endured by
us both before and after suc-- decision. "
Mr.. Streeter, the defendants counsel,
Immediately moved that the masters pro-
ceed with the hearing upon the question
of Mrs. Eddy's competency to manage
her affairs and added: IF we are allowed
to proceed we will show lhat February
q Mrs. Eddy began to arrange for the
management of her property for the rest
of her life and to provide for her kindred
during that time"
Mr. Streeter characterized the suit as
primarily an assault upon great re-
ligion by great newspapers. Said he:
1duced to show that dollar of her money
ever was ,misappropriated. The charge of
her incompetency has completely col
lapsed. 1t is now stated in the press
that this suit was abandoned for the pur-
pose of awaiting the defendants death
and then contesting her will. Mrs. Eddy
has a legal right to a finding of her COM
potency upon the case as it now stands
or upon further evidence she may intro
duce.'
Judge Aldrich replied that the masters
would not be justified in going on with
an ex-parte hearing unless SO directed
by the court.
The Christian Science publication COM
mittee has made public a statement of
DIR. Allen McLane Hamilton of New York,
the alienist who recently examined Mrs.
Eddy Hamilton said: 'I am firmly of
the opinion that she is competent to care
for herself and manage her affairs, and
that she is not coerced in any way.
1t would appear as If she takes the
initiative upon all occasions"

Fake Mortgage with Intent
to Defraud Woman
Client

j. H. Smith, leader of the divorce
ring of lawyers, is once more in trou-
BILE. Recently he escaped conviction OF

vorce from her husband, in which case
Smith acted as her attorney.
The court allowed Mrs. Camp $1,000.
This money she turned over to Smith,
the latter in turn giving her mort
gage on some property he claimed TO
possess. Mrs Camp asked him several
times for some of the money, which ne
gave her. Then one day she asked MN
for a check of 500 or more. rms
Smith refused to give her, with the
alleged remark that he owed her MOTH
ing and he could prove 1T.
Mrs. Camp had yet $3.50 due her from
the attorney. Several days ago she
went to the county recorders office TO
examine her mortgage papers. Sne
then noticed that her name was at
tached to them recognizing payment
for the remaining $3.50. She lmme-
diately referred the matter to the DIS
trict attorney, and now Smith ana ms
stenographer are under arrest.
