Republican Party for Hadley.

The republican party has almost unani-
mously gone on record for Attorney Gen
eraI Herbert s Hadley for governor.
Mr. Hadley's prosecution of the Standard
Oil octopus entities him TO make the race
for governor leaders of the party think.
While nearly every republican county
committee in the state has Endorsed him
for the nomin ion. lie has not YET stated
definitely that he will accept the no'nl-
nation II IL Is offered him. He has
had his eyes on Senator Stones tosa for
more than year. anu the fact that the
party has not seen fit to offer him its
support has TO some extent ruffted the
attorney general.
With Hadley heading the state ticket
and a strong presidential candidate the
republicans think the state could he car
ried for the G.. O. p. as IL was in 1871.
Tie fact however. that tire party lead
ers have bren unable TO get together thus
far Oh a man for President has been con-
sidered feather in the bonnet of Miss
Democracy. But. on the other hand. the
democrats are warning as they never
were before. The fight between stone and
Folk will divide the party, leaders fear.

Chairman Edelman had instructed

WANT COUNCILMEN
TO SERVE LONGER
FIVE.YEAR TERMS PROPOSED
FOR CHARTER
Argue as Long as Recall Exists People
Can Demand Good Service
from the Public
Servants

Certain interests say they will make
an effort befort the charter revision
commission to lengthen the terms of
councilmen in Los Angeles to five years.
The argument will be made that
skilled service is required of lawmak-
ers and that once elected these men
should serve at least five years.
AS the recall exists the people have
in their hands the remedy ii the legis-
lators go wrong. Besides 1t will do
away with the cost and interruption of
recurring elections.
Communications on the subject are
being prepared for the commission and
will probably be filed on Tuesday next.
Secretary George Nolan is in receipt
daily of letters from college presidents
and professors as well as mayors and
students of municipal affairs discussing
the series of questions promulgated by
the Los Angeles revisionists.
These are referred to the various
subcommittee to be used in connection
with their researches and reports.
Next Tuesday the commission will
debate the commission plan of city gov
ernment and all information on the
subject is being studied by the COM
mlssioners in the meantime.

MAN SEEKS
DEATH WHEN
CRITICISED
DRINKS BENZINE AND THEN
STABS HIMSELF
NEIGHBoR CALLS HIM "A LOW
DOWN CITIZEN"
Austrian Plunges Knife Into Abdomen
and CalLiIy Waits for the End.
Condition Believed to
Be Serious

Because accused of being worthless
citizen John Pollock, an Austrian labor
er, aged 5S, made peculiar attempt
at suicide yesterday.
Pollock was working about the yard
at his home, 211 West Fifty-second
street. One of his neighbors passed
and told him he was a low down man.
Pollock replied and told the neighbor
he was as honorable man as any one.
He continued his work, but began TO
brood about the remark.
Finally he ceased his labors and en-
tered his house and secured a bottle
containing about a quart of benzlne.
Going into corner in the back yard
he uncorked the bottle and drank the
liquid. He sat and waited, but the
stuff did not have the desired effect.
He then opened a large bladed pocket
knife and unbuttoning his shirt made
a small cut just over his stomach.
Then steadying his hand he plunged
the weapon into his stomach. Remov-
ing the knife from the wound he calm
ly wiped the blood from the blade
closed it and placed the knife in his
pocket. He bled profusely but made
no outcry and sat and waited for the
end.
Pain Causes Screams
Finally the pain became so acute he
could restrain nlInSeI no loHSei anu
started to scream His wife rushed to
his assistance and took him into the
house.
She was almost overcome with fright
but quickly recovered and sought to
check the flow of blood by bandaging
the wound.
The man began to grow gradually
worse, and several hours later phy-
sician was summoned. He saw that the
man was in a critical condition and
telephoned the University station ana
the new automobile was hurried to the
scene.
The injured man was quickly placed
aboard and rushed to the receiving hos
pftal, making the trip in 13 minutes. |
This was the 1.rst emergency run OF the
new machine.
After reaching the hospital the man
was prepared for an operation. He had
penetrated the stomach with the knife |
and several stitches were taken to close
the wound. He is in a critical condi- |
ton and has small chance for recovery.
1t is thought he was suffering from
mental arrangement, due to religious
frenzy as he had been acting queerly |
for several days.

found herself inquiring of a very
ancient and elegant old gentleman In a
voice scarcely audible, "Sir, shall I
show you to a seat?"
What, what, what?" demanded the
elderly party, irascibly, holding his
hand to his ear.
Sir" screamed the fiustered novice,

Then five late handkerchiefs were
crammed into five titering mouths,
while Miss Margaret boltedl from the
scene of her discontinue, and the five
were left to do the honors.-Harper' s
