CHAMP CLARK FOR SPEAKER.
Democrats Likely to Elect Him If
They Have Majority In House.

Champ Clark, Of Missouri. who once
declared that no one ever declined the
Speakership Of the House Of Represent
atives, may have chance to eat his
words or prove their truth In case the
next House is Democratic, which Mr.
Clark and many other Democrats believe
is entirely possible, the Mssourian will
probably have behind him as candidate
for the Speskership large enough num-
her Of Representatives to insure his Sc
lection.
II has been announced that the Ala
hama, Louisiana, and Virginia delega-
tons have declared for Mr.. Clark. Ken
tueky is known to be for him, and it is
believed that many Northern Democrats
will rally to him il the elections next fall
indicate Democratic majority in the
House.
The only opponent who has so far ap-
peared is Representative Henry, of
Texas, who has the support of the dele
cation from his own State AS Mr.. Clark
is close friend OF Bryan, and as
Democratic House will certainly mean a
Democratic President, it is held that HIS
selection is almost Inevitable.

Up-Waits for Speaker.

Chairman Smith, of the House Dis
trict Committee, did not succeed yes
terday in getting Mr. Cannon to per-
nit him to take the Sims gambling
bill from the Speakers table Mr..
Smith was in the House during the af-
ternoon. but as the sundry civil bill
was up, he no doubt considered that
it would be impossible to bring up the
anti-gambling measure.
As he stated to a reporter for The
Washington Herald on Sunday that
everybody on the District Committee
and almost all the rest of the House
are in favor Of the passage of the
bill. Il is not likely that there will be
much delay in getting it through.
Mr.. Smith practically put the whole
matter up to Mr.. Cannon but no one
has yet been found who would say that
the latter is opposed to the enactment
of any law like this anti gambling bill.

LONG BEACH, April 9.-The Off

A week ago the company was ordered
to pay 800 month business license.
Although startled by this sudden
boost in the cost of amusement privi-
lege the company did not back water
and each night during the rest of the
week two or more patrolmen visited
the hall nightly and looked closely at
the dancing.
The hall continued to draw crowds,
and today the council took up for the
first reading an ordinance providing
that dance halls shall be brilliantly
lighted; that there shall be light for
every ten feet of floor. and that moon
light dancing must be "cut out"
The moonlight effect produced In
the Majestic hall has been secured by

One feature of the new ordinance will
be, 1t is said, that girls under 16 Will
not be allowed upon the floor
The Majestic company claims the
dances are fully as refined as the
dances now or ever given in the audi
forum by the municipal band, and
that if there should ever be case of
misconduct the management of the hall
would at once notice it and ask the
offending party to leave the floor.
The municipal band, in its attempt
to make it's dances p5Yular, is now adj.
vertising free dances, but the othe!
hall has continued SO far to draw thu
bigger crowds.

Woman Tells PitifuI Story of Mis-

SANTA MONICA April 9.-Baffled

Los Angeles, vowing that she would
leave no legal stone unturned in her
Efforts to accomplish the object for
which her maternal love has led her to
travel so far.
Mrs. Whelan, according to her own
story, came from the boys of Ireland
TO America with her first husband
twenty-five years ago. The couple
went to Globe. where the husband was
killed in a mine explosion. The widow
remarked and was subsequently rail-
roaded into an insane asylum by per-
sons who, she says, had designs on
money left her by her first husband.
On her release from the asylum she
discovered that her husband and all
but two of her ten children had disap-
peared Wishing to send these two
roys to friends In Tucson, she put
them on train at Globe, but learned
later that they had been carried
through to Los Angeles by mistake and
placed in an orphan asylum there
Coming to Los Angeles the frantic
mother was told that one of her boys
had been adopted by the family OF Jose
Valenzuela of 241 South Fifth street,
this city. On learning this she came
at once to Santa Monica, where she
encountered an unexpected obstacle In
the refusal of Valenzuela to allow her
TO see the child. She then went to
Justice ]. c. Steele and asked for a
permit toJsee the boy, but was refused;
after which she sought aid from Rev.
Father Callahan, assistant rector OF
the Roman Catholic church. who, she
says. baptized the boy after the lat
ter's adoption by the Valenzuelas.
There she was equally unsuccessful. :.
Il don't want to take him away,
she pleaded with Justice Steele, the
tears starting from her eyes. Il only
want to see him, because he Is my own
flesh and blood and l love him. I'll
promise not to try to take him away
If you will only let me see him.
The judge told her he was afraid ne
could do nothing in the matter, as
Valenzuela was the legal guardian OF
the child.
"Then," said the mother simply 1T
/ can't get permission somewhere TO
see him I'll steal him. Yes. I'll steal
him If / have to go to jail for 1t"
Father Callahan was asked TO-DAY
whether he would, as reported, take
any action in the matter.
