of the chamber of commerce, regard
less of politics, to act as a reception
committee of which Mr.. Washburn
will be the chairman.

ments has been selected a committee
of fifty, including the members of the
committee on arrangements and the di-
rectors of the Democratic club, and

Los Angeles, will act as one general
committee for the reception.

RULING ADVERSE
TO ONON-PART|SANS
JUDGE DISoUALIFlES 5000
VOTES
Contestants viii Make Strong Fight
and May Ask That Soldiers
Home Precinct BE Thrown
Out

Despite the fact that Judge u. b..
West yesterday ruled that certain bal
lots, numbering about 5000, be dis
qualified in the non-partisan contest
OF the county election, now being held
i'm department five of the superior
court, the recount of votes will be re-
sumed today and argument on the
judges decision will be taken up at
later date.
Up until yesterday 1t was believed
that the non-partisan candidates, in
Guiding Attorneys Young and Groff,
contestants for superior bench, and DR..
Booth, contestant for the office of coro-
ner, had some chance to turn the the
of votes in their favor, but that chance
now seems small one.
At the time of the election the ballot,
because of the many tickets upon 1T,
was a most complicated affair. In
many instances. numbering to the
thousands, votes were thrown away
and 1t Is now apparent that there was
hardly a really intelligent vote cast In
side the county outside of the straight
ticket votes, when the voters held
themselves down to a single ticket.
First Favors Non-Partisans
Croft anC Young contested the cleo
tions of Hutton and Houser on the
them had not been counted. Booth,
with scarcely a 200 minority, contested
the election of DR.. Lanterman as coro-
ner. 1t was q question involving the
validity of the soldiers home vote and
several other issues close to the people
of both city and county, and Judge
Conrey, before whom the election con-
test was to have been made, sent for
Judge West of Orange county to re-
lieve him of the responsibility.
Judge Vests first ruling favored the
non-partisans in that he allowed a
number of votes, those in which the
candidates names apeared on both
tickets to be counted in, when both
tickets had been marked.
That would have given each man
about 1000 votes more and would have
meant that Young and Croft ana
Booth had won. At that stage of the
proceedings the attorneys agreed to let
the contest of the soldiers home vote
be laid aside unless it was necessary
to take up the question at the last.
Yesterday, however, came a surprise
when Lanterman's attorney petitioned
that all votes marked straight non-par-
tisan and at the same time marked in
dependence league, be cast aside as
worthless. 1t was found that about
5000 votes had been voted that way
and as a result 5000 men of the county
will lose their votes. The ballots, ac-
cording to the markings, showed that
the voters had placed cross at the
heads of the county and state tickets
of the non-partisan county and the
independence league state tickets.
These were disqualified because OF
the fact that the league ticket had g
number of county candidates on 1t ano
so those votes by the ruling of Judge
West were cast aside and the at
torneys spent the day in arguing thai
point
The count will be resumed today an6
Judge West will take the decision
handed down by him yesterday and
the objections thereto under advise
ment.
The decision of yesterday may neces-
~itate a contest of the soldiers home
vote and a sharp fight is promised.

FIND HUMAN BONES
IN GARBAGE PILES
Letter Heads of Well Known Medical
College Believed to Explain
Mystery of Grewsome
Discovery

Three skulls, one evidently of a new
born babe, the second of woman with
flowing tresses and the third that of a
man were found with portions of hui
man bodies on the city dump at Santa
Fe avenue and the river by woman
living near there yesterday afternoon.
The CHASTITY find was at once reported
to the police, and Detectives Ritch and
Roberds were detailed on the case. 1t
was thought by the department that
some grewsome murder had been COM
mitted and that the murderer had
taken these means of hiding traces of
his crime.
When the officers reached the scene
they found many pieces of flesh scat
tered about the dump with the three
skulls, fully exposed to view, occupy
ing a position on top of mound of
dirt.
They at once began to explore the
piles of rubbish which have accumu-
lated with the result that many other
portions Of bodies were brought to
light.
and soon his deputies were on the field
and succeeded in finding other bones
and pieces of flesh.
In the search letter heads bearing the
name of a we'll known local educational
institution were brought to the sur
face. This institution includes among
its other branches a medical class and
it is thought the students had dumped
the pieces Of the bodies there after
they had served their uses in the class
room.
The bones and pieces OF flesh were at
once turned over to the coroner and
will be given to some undertaking es-
tablishment for burial.
Whether the city officials will take
any notice of the case is not known,
but II is thought probable the atten-
tion of the college authorities will be
brought to the matter.

for Assessor Mallard to dig up the dol
lars by a strenuous assessment. A
large part of last years income, which
was greater than before, was parceled
out in an increase of salaries for city
employees by the old council.

URGE MAYOR To
ACT ABOUT GAS
Some Writers Favor Municipal Gas
Plant as Quickest Remedy; 9TH
ers Favor Buying Out Pres
ent Concern

Mayor Harper's mail contains many
letters from citizens and taxpayers ask
ing that something be done in the pres
ent gas crisis.
The letters are mainly of one tenor
that for weeks the gas supply has been
weak and irregular. that bills have in
creased, that the supply is not suffl-
cient for cooking or heating and that
the gas company gave few promises,
and usually broke those.
Many of the letters suggest that a
municipal gas plant is the only solu-
ton.
Others think the city should step i'm
and buy out the Los Angeles com.
pany's plant
All of the letters are being eourte-
ously answered with the statement that
a gas commission may act ON the sub
ject before long.

A Slight Gap.

A genealogist, like a poet, must be
born, not made. The naive statements
offered by persons whose one desire is
to show lineage which will secure
them admittance to some exclusive
organization drive the real genealo-
gist to rage or tears.

Tests For Boiler Water.

Will you please print some simple
tests for boiler water?-E. G. A.
Answer.-Test for hard or soft
water: Dissolve a small piece of
good soap in alcohol. Let a few
drops of the solution fall into a glass
of the water. If 1t turns milky, it
is hard water; If it turns clear, it is
soft water.
Test for earthly matters or alkali:
Take litmus-paper dipped In vinegar,
and, If on immersion the paper re-
turns to its true shade, the water
does. not contain earthly matter or al
kali. If a few drops of syrup be
added to a water containing any
earthly matter, it Will turn green.
Test for carbonic acid: Take equal
parts Of water and clear lime water.
If combined or free carbonic acid is
present, a precipitate is seen, and
If few drops of muriatic acid be
added, effervesence commences.
Test of magnesia: Boil the water
to twentieth part of its weight, and
IhSn uAOp AS" 6ldihS VI uSulIdi
carbonate Of ammonia into a glass
of it and few drops of phosphate of
soda. If magnesia is present, 1t will
fall to the bottom.
Test for iron: Boil little nut-gsll
and add to the water. If it tul ms
gray or slate-black, iron is present.

Weather and Turkeys.

Turkeys condition depends on tho
weather." said a poultry farmer,
quoted by The Dundee Advertiser.
''I'll tell you why. If it's mild wea-
Their the turkeys go trudging about
from morning till night, up hill and
down dale, hunting worms and grubs
and bugs. They cover twenty or
thirty miles a day, and get muscular
and hard with exercise. They become
athletes. And, of course, to eat ath-
letic turkeys you need an axe. In
cold, snowy weather the ground
freezes. and the worms and grubs and
DugS all disappear. ~ s,-~--.-.
therefore, cease their all-day jaunts,
and, loafing in the farmyard, eat
corn and those other fattening foods
that they won't look at If bugs are
to be had. So, taking no exercise,
gorging themselves on starchy food,
they become fat and soft. They are
all out of condition from the football
standpoint, but, from the culinary
standpoint, they are prime. That Is
why a warm autumn means tough,
scraggy turkeys, while a cold one
means fat, tender, juicy ones"

FARM AND HOME.
Care of Young Chlckens.

Take care of your young chickens,
They should not be let out of their
coops too early in the morning, or
when the dew is on the ground still
less should they be suffered to range
over the wet grass, which is COM
mon cause Of diNaase and death,
They should also be guarded against
sudden unfavorable changes of wea-
ther, more particularly If attended
with rain. Nearly all the diseases Of
gallinaceous fowls arise from cold
moisture. The period at which chicks
are left to shift for themselves de-
ponds upon the disposition of the
hen. Some will continue their atten-
lions to their chickens till they are
nearly full-grown, while others will
cast them off much earlier. In the
latter case an eye should be kept up
on them for few days, for chickens
in this half-grown state are much
more liable to disease than when they
were apparently tender little weak
lings.
