ON THE HOME STRETCH.

This is the last week of the cam
paign The appeals to the voters will
be practically finished By next Satur-
day night, the minds of the voters
will be made up, and little else can
be done towards making converts.
The betting-there is less of it
than was ever before known in a
ampaign-appears to be little in
favor of Taft, but it is admitted that
the changes that are taking place are
about all in favor of Mr. Bryan. The
great labor vote, which has been reti-
cent throughout the campaign, is
showing signs of having decided in
his favor. If this view is confirmed
in the next day or two the belief will
prevail that he is going to win. and
there will be a tremendous move
ment to him.
1t doesn't look as if there will be
a landslide for either candidate. The
best opinion is that the election will
be a close one, and that the success
full candidate will not have many
votes to spare That this is the
opinion of the managers of each of
the great parties is evident from the
fact that they don't intend to relax
their efforts until the polls are
closed

pear as a defendant in a suit brought

panied by two attorneys and intends

WANTS FRANCHISE
FOR GAS COMPANY
Northern Capital Seeks o Enter
the Local Field. Trustees to
Decide at Special Meeting

Louis A. Thomas, a well known
mining man who is heavily interest
ed at Jumbo and at the present time
is operating the lease on the Mey-
ers- Stauts property, at Dry Lake to
the southwest of this city, appeared
before the Board of City Trustees
last night and through his attorney,
James D. Finch asked the city for a
franchise to erect and maintain a
gas sytem in this city. The fanch-
ise is to extend over period of fifty
years.
The proposed franchise was refer
red to the City Attorney and a spec
ial meeting of the board has been
called for tomorrow night TO take ac
ton on it.
Under the terms of the proposed
franchise the grantees will have the
right to erect, maintain and conduct
gas works or manufacturing pant
inthis city and utilize the streets, al
leys and highways for a period of
fifty years. The franchise also fixes
a rate of not more than $3.50 the
thousand feet on gas for lighting
purposes and $3.50 for domestic pur-
poses. 1t also provides that the gas
shall at al times be first class in ev-

of land in southern California.
Those acquainted with the matters
pertaining to this deal state that T.
B. Hickey has arranged to have the
100000 the price of his property,
paid to him in Germany so that he
will be able to avoid his Nevada
creditors. This may not be the case,
but the Germany provision in the pay
ment clause of the deal looks pecu-
liar.
Attorney Mack states that his part
ner, Attorney Greene, has gone to
Independence, Cal, to fight the case
against the State Bank & Trust Com
pany and T. B. Hickey, and that he
expects to win the suit. T. B. Hickey
gave 100000 shares of Keane Wonder
stock to D. M. Ryan as security for
money Ryan had in the State Bank &
Trust Company, and later recovered
this stock by giving Ryan other Sc
curity. Bank Examiner Wildes now
contends that this stock belongs to
the State Bank &Trust Company and
therefore must be included in it's Sc
curities, while Hickey contends that
the stock belongs to him and not to
the bank of which he is president.

Definite action will probably be
taken at the meeting of the board on

A lengthy session Of the city trus-
tees was held last evening and be-
sides the application for the franchise
many other matters were considered.
The board allowed bills to the amount
of $500 for the improvements on
North Carson street that are now
nearing completion. The question OF
rdestricting certain houses of ques-

that the city attorney be instructed
to take the proper steps to close
three of these places at once.

SPECIAL

Of Pardoning Board Will
be Held on
Thursdey

On Thursday next special session
of the State Board of Pardons will
be held to consider the case of Buck
aroo Jack, the Indian murderer who
is sentened to be hanged on Friday
for the murder of his wife.
sSince the Supreme Court denied
the Indian a new trial and he has
been resentenced to hang move has
been set on foot to have his sentnce
committed, on the ground that in
the murder of his wife he but fol-
lowed out the teachings of his race
as regards the fate of squaw who
proves unfaithful to her husband.
Considerable influence is being
brought to bear on the Indians case
and it is not improbable that the
board may take some action in his
behalf such as committing his SEN
tence to life imprisonment instead Of
death.
In the meantime Warden Maxwell
is going ahead with the arrange
ments for the execution on Friday
and unless the board should inter-
fere the decree of the Jaw will be car
ried out.

HOLD INQUEST OVER
BODY OF H. H. DWIGHT 7
Witnesses of Last Act OF Former Ar
chlteet Testify at Inquest
In Pasadena
Parlors

That death resulted from strychnine
poison, self administered with suicidal
intent, was the verdict given this
morning by a jury at the inquest held
over the remains of Henry Hyde
Dwight of San Rafael Heights, who so
dramatically killed himself last Thurs
day afternoon. Coroner Hartwell con-
Quoted the inquest at Adams, Turner &,
Stevens funeral parlors. Pasadena.
That the poison which was swallowed
by Dwight has been prepared when he
was in the room q short time before
the suicide was the testimony given by
R. M. Weed, special administrator to
the wifes estate, who said he was alb
sent for short time after his visit to
the room in taking Mrs. Eldredge to
the car, and gave the opinion that
Dwight took the opportunity to seize
a glass from set on the table and
prepare the potion during his absence.
Mr.. Weed produced a small bottle
labeled "strychnine," which he says he
afterward found in the bath room.
Constable Walter C. Austin, whose
attempt to arrest Dwight was thwarted
by the latter's suicide, produced a yell
low sale check which he found on the
table, showing that Dwight had pur-
chased on March 26, the date of the
suicide, a 25-cent bottle of strychnine
and 50-cent bottle of chloroform from
the Owl Drug company in Los Angeles.
No statement was made by Dwight,
he said. Dwight merely replied "Yes,
I've swallowed strychnine," when asked
If he was trying to commit suicide.
e. L. Rogers, one of the furniture
packers who went upstairs when Aus
tin went to call doctor, said he found
the mans face buried in a pillow which
was so saturated with ChlOrOfOrrn tha a +
he had to desist in his efforts to restore
the man until he had thrown 1t away.
After the arrival of Dr. .1cCoy,
when the poison began to cause cramps,
Dwight frequently requested he be
turned from one side to the other. DR..
Mccoy testified to finding evidence of
both poisons in Dwight's stomach when
he performed the autopsy.

HOUSES FOR BLOCKS SHAKEN

Eighty Dollars Is Taken by Robbers
Who Escape Before the Police
Department Is Mo-
titled

Professional safeblowers, by the use
of nitro glycerine, wrecked the safe of
the Modern Overall laundry, 767 North
Main street, early yesterday morning
and secured $50.
The outer door of the safe was torn
from it's hinges and the safe bulged
out Of shape. From Investigations
made by detectives working on the
case it is evident the combination had
been pried off, nitro glyserine poured
in the opening and the charge set on
by pistol shot.
The inner door had not been locked,
and the robbers had no trouble in secur-
ing the money after the explosion had
wrecked the outer door. More than So
in small change was scattered on the
floor and the combination was found in
corner of the room.
Mrs. A. E. Grober, living next door
to the laundry, was awakened shortly
after 2 o'clock by the report of a pistol
shot, followed by an explosion which
shook the house.
She aroused one of the occupants of
the house, who stepped out on the
porch, but seeing nothing went back
to bed.
the place was opened yesterday morn
ing. G. H. Wood of 2102 Darwin ave-
nue., manager of the laundry, arrived
at 6:45 o'clock. He entered the office
and found the safe shattered and
quantity of small change on the floor.
The burglars had evidently been In q
hurry and did not take time to pick up
the loose money
Wood is a collector for the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and Sec
1etary of the Engineman's Aid associa-
ton. More than $50 of the money taken
belonged to those two organizations.
This is the second time the place has
been robbed. Five weeks ago the place
was entered and a cash register was
taken into the yard, broken open and
$3.50 obtained.
A description of man seen hanging
around the place early in the afternoon
was given the officers, and the police
believe they will capture him shortly.
