SAYS SOCIALISM
WILL SHORTLY TRIUMPH
Pastor Who Recently Resigned
PnIpit Expresses Views at
Equality Hall

Rev. c. Calvert Smoot, who resigned
recently as pastor of the Second Uni
tartan church to take up socialism, ad-
dressed a large audience in Equality
hall last evening on why Capital
ism Is Doomed" He asserted that
socialism was inevitable and that it
was only a question of time before
the people of the United States realized
that socialism, which he stated was
another name for cooperative owner
ship. was their only salvation. The
speaker explained why trusts were
formed and gave competition as the
reason for the combining of large in
dustrlal and commercial enterprises
into trusts.
smoot said: There are only two
ways in which one man amasses great
wealth: BY controlling the resources
of nature; by obtaining public fran
chises, and by getting thousands of
his fellowmen to work for him, thereby
profting by their labor"

INSPECTORS BATTLE
WITH SMUGGLERS
Mexican Guide Shot and Four
Chinese Captured by Inn
migration Men
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

Los ANGELES, July 12.-In a moon
light battle with smugglers on the
Mexican boundary line at Calexico, two
United States immigration officials cap
tured four contraband Chinese and shot
one of their two Mexican guides, the
other escaping. 1t is believed the
wounded man fell into the main irrigat-
ing canal leading from the Colorado
river into the Imperial valley and was
drowned.
The fight was on the short bridge
that spans the canal. and in the con-
fusion that attended the firing OF 10
shots by both sides one of the snug
gIers was seen to leap into the air
and 20 over the side OF the bridge
into the water, which at that point is
a swift stream six feet deep.
A long search failed to locate the fell
low and Inspector Ames, who fired on
him at a distance OF l5 feet, declares
one OF his bullets struck the man in
the breast The other smuggler fed on
the Mexican side OF the line and es-
caped. The four Chinese were brought
TO Los Angeles and are in the county
jail.
Smugglers are unusually active in the
Imperial valley, and IL was only two
weeks ago that four of them were cap
tured with a half dozen Chinese. The
guard along the line has bee7 strength
ened.

OBALDIA CHOSEN
HEAD OF PANAMA
Is Voted President in Election
That Passes Off With
out Disturbance

PANAMA. July 1.-THE presidential
elections throughout the isthmus of
Panama passed off today without dis
turbance. Jose Domingo de Obaldia
formerly minister to the United States
and acting president during the alb
sence Of DR.. Amador, was elected presi-
dent. The supporters Of Ricardo Arias,
who recently withdrew his candidacy.
decided not to vote, and as a conse-
quence no opposition to Senor Obaldia
was placed in nomination. Notwith-
standing this large number Of voters
registered their choice and demon
strated the overwhelming majority OF
Senor Obaldia's supporters.
From all parts OF the republic news
has been received here that the cleo
tions were carried on in an orderly
manner and that Senor Obaldia re-
ceived all the votes cast. At the con-
clusion of the balloting enthusiastic
crowds, headed by a band OF music,
paraded the streets Of Panama, cheer
ing continuously for the newly elected
president There appeared to be an alb
solute absence Of i'll feeling between
the former supporters OF Senior Arias
and the adherents of Senor Obaldia-
Never before has such a friendly spirit
been shown so quickly after an cleo
ton.
COLON, July 1.-THE election here
passed of quietly today. A heavy
rainstorm prevailed and the only votes
cast were by the supporters Of Obaldia
They totaled 3O4. The police govern
ment faction, with a few exceptions
abstained from voting. The commits
sioners representing the United States
kept watch on the balloting at each
Of the polling stations.

ACCUSED SLAYER
FACES SWEAT Box
Alleged Murderer of Boy Will
Be Examined by Police
and Interpreter
Delmonte Known as Having
Amiable Disposition and Ar
rest Surprises Companions

Augustine Delmonte, arrested on sus-
picion of having murdered John Buch-
noff, will be put through an examina-
ton by the police today. Since his ar
rest the man has been kept in solitary
confinement. No one but the jailers
have been allowed to go near him and
no effort has been made to put him in
the sweat box.
The reason for the delay was due to
the absence of Victor Martini, the Of
fetal Interpreter, from the city. Mar
TIM will be back today and the suspect
will then be closely questioned. So
confident are the police that in Del
monte they have the man responsible
for the crime that nothing further was
and Regan, who made the arrest and
who were detailed to run down the case,
ceased their labor after arresting Del
monte.
The only relative the man has in this
city is a sister with whom he lived.
Little is known of him. He came here
direct from Italy, shortly after the dis
aster of 1906, and went to work as a
scavenger at the sanitary reduction
works He was put in charge of the
bins few months ago. He was chosen
for the position on account of the ami
able disposition he had shown through
out his stay at the works. and his fell
low workmen were surprised to hear
that the police had arrested him on
suspicion of having killed the boy.
His position was one which required
a great deal of tact. Other men who
had preceded him were constantly get
ting into difficulties with the wagon
drivers, and he was given the job for
the purpose of bringing about harmony.
A theory is held by some of the work
men that Delmonte did not strike at
the boy in anger, but accidentally hit
him with the heavy hook in chasing
him off the premises and then seeing
the youngster fall unconscious and
thinking he had killed him. endeavored
to cover the crime by dumping the body
into the bin.
Further investigation disclosed that
1t would have been practically impos-
sble for Buchnoff to have been rem
dered unconscious by falling into the
bin. The bin was full. 1t being the
close Of the evening after the drivers
had dumped their loads and the mass
of refuse was almost on level with
the platform.
Delmontes comrades at the sanitary
reduction works. AS far as could be
ascertained he worked alone by the
bins, directing the drivers and raking
up fallen refuse. AS the drivers had
finished their days work, Delmonte was
left alone when the boys annoyed him.
AS the man was badly frightened
when arrested and has been in abject
fear since being incarcerated, the police
hope that he will talk readily and clear
up the mystery surrounding the death.

AMATEUR ACTRESS
ABANDONS CAREER
Miss Grace LIeweIIyn Jones to
Marry New York Attorney
at Trinity Church

Miss Grace Llewellyn Jones, one of
and well known here and abroad as a
keen dramatic student and literateuse,
will be married to Robert Gibson Jr.,
a New York lawyer, August 10, invita-
tions to that effect having been sent
out yesterday.
The invitations were the first inkling
of the coming event. There was not
the slightest whisper or knowledge OF
an engagement and the announcement
was as surprising a piece of news as
society has received for some time past.
Though well known in society, Miss
Llewellyn Jones first came into public
notice through her exceptional ability
is an amateur actress. Her remarkable
beauty and still more remarkable voice
won her instant recognition. She was
in demand a every amateur production
of note.
PLAYED LEADING ROLES
She took the leading role in "Phedre"
at the inauguration of the Greek the
ater at Berkeley and also in the German
performance of Frau Koenigen" given
for the benefit of the German hospital.
She was more than an amateur actress
she was a student of the drama. She
took up that subject with such earnest
ness and diligence that her friends felt
certain that she would eventually tread
the boards as a professional.
The thought was strengthened when
Miss Llewellyn Jones, accompanied by
her mother, left San Francisco for
Europe two years ago and there con-
tinued her studies with redoubled
vigor, working under the best masters,
developing her natural abilities. In
San Francisco her name was linked
with things dramatic.
SURPRISE FOR FRIENDS
She was remembered as a beautiful
girl with a brilliant mentality, as one
who had made her mark in literature
and drama; but never for an instant
was there supposed to be a man in the
case. The common supposition was
that she was welded to her art; but
society was not aware Of Robert Glib
son, the Wall street lawyer, and the
progress of the most momentous drama
OF all.
1t was all very quiet, very secret
behind the scenes, SO to speak. The
curtain was not rung up until the last
act, the closing scene of which will be
played in public at Trinity church at
noon, August Is. There is little doubt
in the minds of her friends that. prior
to meeting Gibson, Miss Llewellyn
Jones intended TO make drama her life
study. Since then, however. dramatic
ambitions have been flung aside.
Miss Llewellyn Jones Travelled all the
way from Europe to San Francisco in
order to be welded in the midst of her
friends. She arrived in this citv
with her mother two weeks ago and
they are staying at 1922 Sacramento
street.
