CHICKEN YARD FOUND
IN CHEFS HAND BAG

When the Golden State limited ar
rived in Los Angeles Sunday night and
the negro chef, H. e. Messenden
alighted, carrying, as usual, his little
black handbag with him, it occurred
to a special officer standing nearby to
wonder what was in the bag
Messenden has been chef on South
ern Pacific trains for the past two
years and the officer had seen him at
least a hundred times with his hand
bag, but had never thought much about
it before.
whats in there?" asked the officer
"Ole suit O. clothes. sub. an NAH
shoes an stockings"
"Open up"
The chefs complexion took on the
shade of dull gray chalk.
Here is your coat and vest" said
the officer, as he lifted out two ia.
chickens, land maybe these are your
trousers" he continued, when half
dozen porterhouse steaks were exposed
to view. "And here are your shoes
and stockings" he said, pouring a few
dozen eggs out on the depot floor
1t is supposed the chef has used his
handbag as a cold storage warehouse
for all the delicacies left over after
each trip for several years. He was
taken to central police station.

FORCES OF DECENCY
BOUND TO TRIUMPH
ESHELMAN TALKS ON TRICKY
TACTICS OF MACHINE
Says Herrln's Workers Are Fighting
Desperately in San Francisco and
Alameda Counties to Save
the Bureau

In view Of the fact that Gov. James
N. Gillett has lodged the queries of the
Anti-Race Track leagues officers, the
presence here of J. w. Eshelman, the
legislator whose anti-race track gamb-
ling measure put the machine on rec
ord, renews interest in that issue.
One of the planks in the Lincoln
Roosevelt leagues platform calls for
the enactment of stringent antl-race
track gambling bill.
Representative Eshelman, who IS
registered at the Hollenbeck with his
wife, called at league headquarters to
note the campaign work done, and de-
clared things looked hopeful for the
anti-machine Republicans. He said:
"The machine members of the last
legislature voted and worked against
the race track bill.
1T was the desire of the machine to
defeat this bill, and although there
were some machine members in the
senate whose personal desire was to
vote for the bill, still in spite of their
statements to this effect to me, when
the show down came and the bill was
| before them they took orders and voted
and worked against it.
1T is being said In some quarters
that the machine is not in favor of the
| continuance of race track gambling IN
this state, but the machine is using no
such argument where trace track gamb-
| ling is popular, and is merely using It
in those sections where it thinks such
an argument will get it votes.
1.-THE Lincoln Roosevelt league has
taken a definite stand on this question,
and it is my opinion that the only way
to be absolutely sure of getting rid of
this evil in the state is to elect repre-
sentatives and senators pledged to the
Lincoln Roosevelt league principles.
1.-THE machine is fighting desperately in
San Francisco and Alameda counties,
but everything looks hopeful for the
triumph of the forces of decency in
San Francisco, and indications are that
the victory of May will be duplicated.
In Alameda county, in my opinion,
there will be one more assembly dis
trict carried than was the case IN the
May primaries.
IAN endeavor is being made in the
north, as here, to cloud the issue, but
this game has been worked so often
that the people are keeping before them
the one single issue, which should be
before every voter, namely, the elimin-
alton of the political bureau of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company"

PAYS HIS MONEY BUT
CAN'T GET HIS SUIT
INSTALLMENT PLAN NOT SUCH
A GREAT SNAP
Prosecuting Attorney Appealed to by
Highland Park Pastor, Whose
Son Had Patronized Main
Street Store

Buying suit of clothes on the in
you do not get the clothes till the
final monthly installment has been
paid it does not seem to me to be par
ticularly advantageous to the pur-
chaser" said Rev. e. A. Child, pastor
of the Highland Park Christian church,
when he visited the prosecuting attor-
ney's office yesterday to see what
could be done about it.
The peculiar business methods of
certain tailoring establishments of Los
Angeles were we'll illustrated by the
clergyman's tale.
my boy has just returned home
from the Pacific university in Oregon,
where he has been attending school.
He thought he needed new suit of
clothes, so he decided to buy one on
the installment plan. While casually
looking at the clothes in the windows
of the American Tailor company, 260
South Main street, of which A. Granas
is proprietor, he was approached by a
fat gentleman from within who asked
him to enter and examine the stock.
He was shown a number of samples
and inquired the price.
ooh, the price don't matter he was
told. You pay me two dollars-one
dollar a month till the suit is paid for.
You like this one, yes? l make it to
you for thirteen dollars
ct will take that one, said the
young man. Have 1t ready for me
Saturday, as 1 want to wear it.
THE boy paid down two dollars,
with the understanding that he was to
pay two dollars more when the suit
was finished and the remainder at the
rate of two dollars month. The next
time he went there they could not find
the suit. They hunted all over the
shop till finally they came across one
that bore some resemblance to the
original piece of goods selected. The
suit was wrapped up in a bundle be-
fore the young mans eyes and two
more dollars accepted by the cashier.
Then the suit was placed up on a shelf
out of reach and the suave clerk asked
him what he was waiting for.
MY suit. 1 want to wear it,
"'Oh, mister; you understand you
don't get the goods till they are all
paid for replied the clerk cheerfully."
Many similar complaints, some of
which are against the same tailoring
establishment, have been received at
the prosecuting attorneys office. A
terday: "Of course nobody wants to
buy $40 suit of clothes, pay for it a
dollar month and then not get the
clothes till months and months have
expired. We don't look that far ahead
in this world. Firms who do this sort
of business rely on the fact that their
unfortunate customers will not bring
suit against them for so small sum"

Fraudulent Voting
"Great care should be taken to pre-
vent fraudulent voting. Examine the
original registration to see that the
voters compare as to age, residence,
ETC., with the original registration afti-
davit; compare the signature of the
voting roster with that of the affidavit
Section 1904 of the political code pro-
vides that the signature on the roster
must be compared with the signature
on the registration in the presence and
view of the bystanders.
1T is important to remember that the
same safeguards are thrown around
primary elections as apply to general
elections. Nothing should be permitted
in the way of irregularity at primary
election that is not permitted at gen.
eral election. The same laws as to
fraudulent voting, counting the ballots
etc, apply, and the same care should
be exercised.
Challenges on the ground that the
person is not the one whose name is
on the register or that the party has
voted before are determined by his TAX
ing the oath. Challenges for non-rest-
dence are determined by the board
upon hearing the evidence. A mans
residence is where his habitation is
fixed, and that is where a man family
resides.
Should Be Arrested
Judgment should be exercised by
challengers and workers. Rash OIL
unnecessarily antagonistic statements
should not be made. At the same time
suspicious persons should be politely
but firmly informed that no unfair OF
illegal practices will be tolerated, ano
that any one guilty Of attempting fraud
will be arrested and prosecuted.
Voting Illegally, or attempting to DC
so, is a felony, and any person wit
Messing the same can himself arrest
the offender or call upon the police tc
arrest him at once; no warrant il
necessary. If a voter takes the oath
and votes, and you are satisfied OF the
fraud, cause his arrest.
Watching the.Count
Arrange with your co-workers sc
that some one of them is present dur
ing the entire counting of the vote. Let
one man watch the officer who reads
the ballots, and another one the clerks
who tabulate the returns. Remember
you have a perfect right to be present
and have a view of the proceedings
Section 1852 of the political code says
The canvass of votes must be pubic
| in the presence of the bystanders.
workers in country precincts ar
especially urged to guard against ir
regularities and attempts at chicanery
The election in country precincts /

ton of the county central committee

LEGAL POINTS CLEARED UP
FOR BENEFIT OF VOTERS

AS the workings of the primary law
are not clearly understood in some
quarters extracts from the opinions OF
District Attorney j. D. Fredericks and
Deputy Hartley Shaw are repeated
here.
There is no law applicable to these
elections outside of Los Angeles and
Pasadena in Los Angeles county. These
primary elections are regulated by
party usage or custom and the rules
of the governing committees.
The great register will not be at the
polls unless so decided Ey the govern
ing committee.
In the nature of things. of course
only Republican electors can vote at
Republican primaries, and of course
only those living in the precinct Woulo
be allowed to vote.
The pledge required is a matter OF
regulation by the governing committees
The Republican county central COM
mittee OF this county in its petition to
the board Of supervisors has made pro-
visions which are applicable 10 primar-
les outside of the cities. The party
test which has been adopted is:
"I, -, do solemnly pledge my

nominees of the Republican party al

have not since that time changed theil
place of residence. are entitled to vote

affillation.
If their names are on the old regis
