With District Attorney Brown of

to rush with vigor the prosecution of
John and Peter Claudianes, the Greek
brothers indicted by the Alameda coun-
ty grand jury Wednesday on charges
Of dynamiting the Schenck and Gala
CHER homes, the charges of conspiracy
against them in the local courts were
dismissed yesterday.
This action was taken on motion of
Assistant District Attorney Robert
Duke before Judge Shorta1I, under in
structions from District Attorney Lang
don. The purpose was to prevent any
possible technicality from coming UP
later to interfere with their prosecution
under the indictments returned by the
Alameda county grand jury.
The prisoners will be arraigned in the
criminal department of the Oakland SUI
perior court Monday. the first day the
criminal calendar will have been called
after the return of the true bills. They
will be formally charged. and it is
hoped to secure a plea of guilty or not
guilty from them on that day Brown
has decided to put the cases through
at the earliest possible date, but has no
desire of being unfair to the young
Greeks.

short conference with them. I asked
them if they had secured an attorney

District Attorney Brown, Sheriff
Frank Barnet and Captain of Detec-
tives Petersen have arranged to con-
tinue the search for Felix Pauduveris
in Oakland with the same vigor with
which it has been conducted in this
city. Every clew gathered regarding
the missing man has been turned over
to the Alameda county officials, and no
expense will be spared to run them
down. The Importance of the capture
of Pauduveris as the link connecting
the Greek boys with higher ups of the
graft prosecution is thoroughly real
lied.
The Claudianes boys septn a quiet
day at the Alameda county Jail, smok-

White for 50 from his store of four

for what he wanted the money. John

DEMOCRATS AIM TO
ELECT ONE JUDGE
Los Angeles Convention Names
Lee Stephens for Bench,
With Four Vacancies
Regulars Display Surly Atti=
tude After Defeat by Reform
Wing of Party

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21.-The demo-
cratic convention completed its labors
this evening and adjourned after nomi-
mating Albert Lee Stephens as the only
candidate of the democracy aspiring to
any of the four vacant places on the
superior bench. The failure to nomi-
nate three additional candidates for
judges was due, it was said, to an
agreement between the leaders, who
feel themselves sure of one judgeship
in the election.
Up to the time of adjournment the
convention was dominated by the
league, or reforming party Only in
one of the contests for supervisors did
the regular element secure nomina-
tion.
The following nominations for assem-
blymen were made:
Fifty-seventh district-George P. Cary of
Pasadena
Sixty eighth districtLDr. ]. S. Allison of Mon
rovia.
Sixty ninth distriet-Frank L. Hilton of Al
hambra
seventieth district Charles Cruller Of Re-
dondo.
Seventy first dstrict-C. c. Martin of Los
Angeles.
Seventy second district-Sam ]. Chappelle of
Seventy third district-B f. Hard of Los An
geles.
Seventy fourth district-M. G. Yoakum of
Highland Park
Seventy fifth districts. A. waldrow of Los
Angeles.
Thirty-f senatorial distriet-Coionel Frank
B. Piery of Pomona
Thirty seventh district-Wil d. Gould of Los
Angeles.
Fifth district stpervisor--Anthony Schwamm.
Second district superviser-H. j. WOlacott.
Fourth district supervisor--Frank Haddock-
There were no serious signs of
trouble throughout the day and no
attempt at repetition of the almost
riotous scenes which marked yester-
days sessions. Several of the 'regu-
| lars" were in a surly mood and their
caustic references to the proceedings
lent occasional enlivenment.

waiting, trusting and loving. Her eyes,
shining with the brilliancy of ap-
preaching death, watched for him in
vain. The arms which she longed to
wind around his neck wasted and grew
thin; the cheek which she begged to
offer for a kiss wore the pallor of the
inevitable end. Still she waited and
believed.

her love undiminished. her faith firm.
Once, when the girl was near deaths
door and after his connections with
Miss Yonge had been made public.
Davey, brave with liquor. staggered to
the door of the residence.
Il want my wife," he said. The old
mother faced him and the old eyes
snapped back at him.
Your wife. is itl'' she said. My
daughter is dying. Go-go back to the
other you have ruined. Leave the dying

Davey sobered up at the shock and
then skunk away

Though the mother refuses to have
anything to do with Davey. the police
commissioners and Chief Biggy have
taken up the matter. The case was
put into the hands of Detective Proll
who discovered that Davey had secured
marriage license at San Rafael to
wed May Austin and. following the
trail, discovered the dying girl. He re-
ported his discovery to the chief and
Davey will be forced to answer to ad-
ditional charges. In the face of his
past the chances are that he will be
dropped from the police force without
any further ado. In a few hours, how
ever, death probably will release Davey
from his promises.

FIGHT IS DIRECTED
AGAINST GAMBLING
President of Anti=Poolr0om
League Urges Cooperation
in Marin County
Davis Charges Pistolesi With
Fighting People and That
Butler Broke Pledge

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 21.-Charging
that l.. c. Pistolesi, elected on an anti
poolroom platform, is fighting against
the people as the paid attorney of the
gamblers, and that Ed Butler, assem-
blyman, likewise broke his pledge when
racetrack legislation was before the as
sembly, R. ]. Davis, president of the
anti-poolroom league, issued circular
, letter today asking the cooperation of
the republicans of Marin county in the
fight against the racetrack which he
will make in the convention.
The county convention will assemble
tomorrow in San Rafael and will wit
ness a hot fight against the poolroons.
The indications are that the Sausalito
crowd which is backing gambling will
be defeated and that strong anti-pool-
room plank will be adopted.
THIRD CANDIDATE IN SIGHT
Both candidates for the assembly, S.
Olmstead and Ed Butler. profess TO be
against the poolrooms, but Buffers vote
to reconsider the Eshelman racetrack
bill after it had passed the assembly
has antagonized many of his constitu-
ents. S. M. Augustine, who may enter
the race as a third candidate, is also
against the poolrooms. 1t seems as
sured that whoever is nominated will
have to pledge himself against the
evil that has Sausalito by the throat
From communications received in the
last two days from leading republicans
in Conta Costa county, it appears that
f. B. Martinelli, chairman of the Marin
county central committee, will be the
next senator from Marin and Contra
Costa. The letters say that Belshaw
will withdraw in favor of Martinelli
DAVIS ISSUES APPEAL
The circular letter sent out by Davis
reads as follows:
You will doubtless remember that at the re.
publican convention held two years ago the fol-
lowing plank, after a lively discussion, was
unanimously adopted and added to the platform
The republican party of Marin country. in
convention assembled, does unqualifedly declare
Its opposition 70 the selling of pools and we
pledge our nominee of this convention TO the
state assembly to support any measure that will
place pool selling within the statute prohibiting
gambling.
The will Of the people has been defeated by
certain men In the party who are not using their
positions for the good of the community but only
for their own private ends; the chairman Of
the poolrooms In the courts; the supervisor from
the third district, elected republican is also
fighting against the people as paid attorney
of the pool sellers, and your representative in
the assembly after pedging himself before you.

TAFT TELLS BRYAN
|. PEOPLE HAVE RULED
Republican Nominee Answers
Challenge OF Nebraskan.
Pointing to Party Record
Fifty Thousand Virginians Cheer
Speech at Country Picnic
on Popular Hill

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. The
people have ruled through the repuo-
lican party
This is William H. Taft's answer to
Bryans challenge, Shall the people
rule?"
The answer was made in an address
the republican presidential candidate
made today before a gathering OF many
thousand Virginia republicans who
came to the mountains to see and hear
him and to celebrate Virginia day. To
make his point perfectly clear, Taft re-
ferred to the first election of Mckinley
as ''one of the most intelligent and ef-
fective expressions of popular will ever
manifested to the world, and the main
tenance of the gold standard and a pro-
tective tariff by his administration was
correct Interpretation of the peoples
will.
This was shown to be so," he con-
tinued, "by even a greater majority for
the party in 1900 and still greater ma
jority in 1904, when Roosevelt was
elected, and" he added, we well may
submit to the country whether his ad-
ministration has not expressed the will
of the people,
MANY VOTERS DISFRANCHISED
Preceding Taft in short address,
Congressman c. S. Slemp had this to
say in answer to the same question:
Can it be possible that he (Bryan)
had reference to the political situation
in Virginia. Does he not know that
under existing laws so per cent of the
white and 80 per. cent of the coIored
population of voting age have been dis
franchised? Does he. not know that
they have no voice in the government
of either this state or this nation, and
can he call this rule of the people2
No wonder Mr.. Bryan will make no po-
litical speeches in the south. Condi-
tions here don't square with his battle
cry?"
FIFTY THOUSAND CHEER
Taft was surrounded during his
speech by approximately $4,000 persons.
Accompanied by Mrs. Taft, Colonel B.
S. Allen and Representative Slemp, he
drove to the ball park in a carriage,
with little Charlie Taft on the box with
the driver. Vorys and Alvah Martin,
national committeeman from Virginia,
accompanied the party in another car
rage.
The scene at the park was typical of
real country picnic There were
seats for only a few hundred While
the thousands had to stand or sit on
the ground Taft occupied a hastily
erected speakers stand in front of the
{ sibleacher9 btnehes.. He was introduced
by Colonel Allen and his reception was
cordial and his speech heartily ap-
plauded.
Taft today made an appointment to
meet in Cincinnati on September % a
delegation of negroes from the ma
tlonal Baptist convention to be held in
Lexington, KY, from September Is to
Il. IL is said every state and territory
Will De represented in the delegation.
