For San Francisco Guests

One of the delightful affairs of yester-
day was the tea given by Mrs. Page
Brown at her Kenwood avenue residence
for the Misses Brown of San Francisco,
DR.. Browns five sisters, who have been
abroad for five years and recently ar
rived for a visit, en- route to their north
ern home
The party left five years ago for an
anticipated absence of three years, but
the fire in San Francisco, two years ago,
altered conditions in the northern city
and they decided to prolong their stay on
the continent. They will probably remain
in Los Angeles several weeks.
Mrs. Brown, who had asked nearly
three score of her women friends to meet
her sisters-in-law, was assisted in re-
ceiving by Mrs. ole Leonard and Miss
Cameron Leonard. Blossoms of vivid
scarlet and the deeper shades of red
graced the reception rooms, and in the
dining room, where the guests were
served, the decorations were in pink.

MAYOR MUST ACT ON
SIGN ORDINANCE TODAY

Mayor Harper must sign or pocket the
sign ordinance today, the last day.
This is the much-amended measure
championed by Councilman Dromgold.
The municipa; art commission fought the
swinging electric sign clause which the
hotel and restaurant men wanted insert
ed. saying it would interfere with the
electrolier system. AS a compromise the
council agreed that signs could protrude
thirty inches from the building line. This
practically limits electric signs to per-
pendicular affairs or those on tops of
buildings
The mayor says he Is uncertain what
to do, as he favors swinging signs, but
as both sides have made concessions 1t
is believed the ordinance will be signed
by the executive.

RIGHTS OF
WA YFARERS
AN ISSUE
FINED PATR0LMAN APPEALS
FROM DECISION
LATE WAYFARER REFUSED TO
IDENTIFY HIMSELF
Stubborn Pedestrian, After Being
Locked Up for Withholding Name,
Wins First Round
in Suit

In appealing the case of W. p. Gisske
week, the city's legal department expects
to settle the point whether police have
the right under reasonable circumstances
to force any wayfarer late at night to
Identify himself. The city will appeal
the easel this week.
Glsske, while walking near Figueroa
and Sunset boulevard on September "a,
1906, refused to tell Patrolman Sanders.
who was on the lookout for suspicious
characters. who he was, and was invited
to go to the central station and there
identify himself. Desk Sergeant John
Mcclure apparently neglected to investi-
gate the case thoroughly, and when told
that Kisske refused to answer questions,
ordered him locked up until the detectives
could question him the next morning.
Must PatroIman Pay?
Suit for $4,000 followed, judge Charles
Monroe of the superior court awarding
$500 damages to Gisske. If this verdict
is sustained by the supreme court San
ders will be forced to pay the fine out of
his own pocket.
Sanders maintains that he acted within
MS iA6HlS DIS three lelepDOne' messages
told of a man prowling around the cor
ner mentioned that night; and moreover
II there had been any fault 1t lay with
the desk sergeant. who, under police
rules, takes charge of prisoners after
they are sent to him. determining
whether they should be released at once
or detained for further investigation.
If Gisske's case is sustained the police
say it will practically stop all arrests of
suspects as patrolmen will not hold up
men If they are liable to personal dam
ages. In all large cities the right of
questioning wayfarers at night is recog-
nized, and when they fail to give salts
factory account of themselves they are
invariably arrested, so department re-
ports state.
Deputy City Attorney John w. Shenk
argues that defendant acted in a sus-
picious manner, in such a, way that the
officer believed that Gisske was in that
locality for an unlawful purpose.
1t appears that Gisskes wife was sick
at the time, although he went away that
evening to attend a lecture at Simpson
auditorium. The fact that he was locked
up all ngiht brought a nervous spell
on Mrs. Gisske, the doctor having forbid
den that she be excited in any way.
A jury was waived by mutual consent
in the trial.

GiIchrist Grateful.

The HERALD nun ON Friday
asked Gen. Gilchrist what he
thought about the vote given him
in this county He said he was
very grateful for it and that he
felt no resentment towards those
who voted against him, as he ac-
corded to every man the privilege
of voting as he pleased. That he
was glad that those precincts
which voted against him had not
done him worse, as they might
have done.
Regarding the Arcadia vote, he
thought that much of il that was
cast against him was due to a mis-
understanding Of what his atti-
Jude as governor would he on the
question Of county division. He
had repeatedly announced that,
neither as candidate nor governor,
would he take any stand on purely
local issues, that he would not use
his personal or official influence
either one way or the other. In q
word, that, II elected governor, he
would not use his position to in.
huence the passing by the iegisla.
ture of any purely local bill,
whether for county division or
anything else Of purely local
character.
He thinks that, If the people of
Arcadia had clearly understood
his position in this particular, they
would have given him larger
vote. He is thankful TO those
who did support him, but he cher
ishes no i'll will towards those who
did not.

A Political Avalanche.

Two weeks ago, the Orlando
Reporter-Star said; Zone of the
greatest changes in the political
phase in Orange county is The
number of warm supporters
tlocking to the Standard of John
N. Q. Stockton for governor.
y y From every county in
the State comes the report that
Stockton is gaining in strength in
leaps and bounds and the vote
next Tuesday promises to he a
regular avalanche for Stockton"
Yes, it was an avalanche, and it
was SO sudden that Stockton failed
to escape it, The vote in Orange,
for example, was Browne 112,
Gilchrist 96S, Stockton 535, Gill
cbrist's majority over both, 32l.
The Reporter-Star will please
bring on some more ayalanches;
they will benefit the State.

Just as Claude LeWrangle, Of

just as Claude LeWrangle, of
the Tallahassee Blister, predicted,
Stockton's campaign was a losing
one; and had last weeks primary
occurred three weeks later, Stock
ton's vote would not have been
large enough to admit him to a
second primary, This fact was
illustrated by Suwannee county
Live Oak, which, three weeks
ago, was conceded to Stockton,
but later came over to Gilchrist
and gave him a majority of 1856
over both his competitors. While
Stockton's campaign was thus a
losing one, which it will continue
10 be, Gilchrist's was a gaining
6ne. The latter's strength was
constantly increasing and it will
20 on increasing till the end.

A Misplaced Issue.

ernOr and that it was used in that
race solely for the purpose Of get
ting votes
The governor Of Florida cannot
propose, submit, reject or veto u
prohibition amendment to the con
stilution; and with all due respect
for the few eminent lawyers who
pretend to think differently, it is
only through an amendment to
the constitution that we can have
State prohibition.
That is General Gilchrist's po-
silion and it is logical and correct.
The issue, therefore, of State
prohibition is now settled as far
as it can be settled this year, be-
cause it rests with the members Of
the legislature, nearly all Of whom
have been nominated. Scarcely
half dozen Legislative aspirants
are left to contest in the next
primary.
If the members Of the legislature
see fit to submit II prohibition
amendment to II vote of the peo'
pie, the governor cannot possibly
prevent them; and if, after being
submitted, it is ratified by the
people, The governor cannot posi-
bly, veto or nullify it. Ina word,
he has absolutely nothing to do
with it.
We repeat, then, that the pro-
hibtion issue is now eliminated
from this second primary cam
paign for governor, and all those
good people who are SO ardently
in favor of it are now without
worry reasonable excuse for sup
porting Mr.. Stockton on that
ground,
But even if this issue were not
out of place and obsolete in this
campaign, we submit that the
State is suffering more from high
taxes and mal-administratinn in
general than it is from the sale of
liquor in II few counties, and that
the postponement of State prohib-
ition for four or even eight years
could not possibly hurt us worse
than the continuation and perpetu-
alton of the policies of Governor
Broward, which would be sure to
result from Mr.. Stockton's being
made governor.
Mr., Stockton and Governor
Broward are ''birds of Il feather"
members Of the same political
school and faction, the arch lead
ers of the famous"Three Friends
political combination, whose pub
lie records show athat they are
banded together for selfish rather
than really patriotic purposes. A
single instance of their objects
should suffice to convince every
citizen that this political combina-
ton should be broken up, and that
is the downright gift of two sums
of $4,000 each of the peoples mon
ey to Ex-Governor Jennings, who
is a friend of the administration
and q supporter of Mr.. Stockton.
Claude L'Engle, of the Tallahassee
Sun, WHO'S supporting both Stock
ton and Broward, says in his paper
that these gifts to Ex-Governor
Jennings were''graft-pure graft
--legalized, but graft all the
same"
Now consider this, and look at
your tax receipts, and remember
the Wholesale pardoning business
which has disgraced the State, and
the unblushing utilization Of rep.
utable newspapers which have de-
nounced these abuses, as we'll as
the arrogant disregard of primary
elections and recommendations of
county executive committees
