MARK SMITH SENSES
VICTORY FOR BRYAN
ARIZONA DELEGATE THINKS
OUTLOOK FINE
Nominating His Successor Has
Caused Great Discomfort in
Republican Ranks

Mark Smith of Tucson, Ariz., who
has been territorial delegate to con-
gress since 1886, is in Los Angeles on
his way home from the Denver con-
vention. Mr.. Smith, when seen at the
Alexandria last night, appeared greatly
pleased. He inquired about the senti-
ment in Southern California for the
Bryan-Kern ticket.
Il think there is great dissatisfac-
ton among the Republican ranks over
the nomination of Taft. For the presi-
dent of the United States to nominate
his successor is un-American and saw
ors of imperialism. Mr.. Roosevelt has
established a dangerous precedent.
There is little doubt that Bryan has
struck terror into the Republican fac
tions, and every one of impartial judg-
ment will agree that his chances of
election are better than ever before
That goes without saying"
When asked about the prospects for
statehood in Arizona he said: "Ari-
iona should be admitted to the Union
at the next session of congress If the
promise made at the last Republican
convention is kept. 1t is the first time
a national convention has declared for
statehood for the territories. Arizona
is far ahead of other territories that
have been admitted in the matter of
population, and there Is no reason why
the matter should be delayed longer.
l have introduced a bill for admission
at every session of congress for the last
twenty years, and there is one now
pending before the committee that has
the matter in charge
Arizona is also in need of more
reservoirs and more public buildings.
IT shall remain in Los Angeles a
few days and then attend the terri
terial convention for the nomination
of delegation to congress, which
meets on September s."

TWO MORE SOCIALISTS GO
FREE FROM CHAIN GANG
Acting Mayor Pease Unwilling to Tel
egraph GilIett as Prosecutor
Woolwine Declined to
Sign Message

Although Acting Mayor Niles Pease
did not consider that circumstances
warranted his signing a telegram to
Governor Gillett asking a pardon for
the Socialists who were serving terms
on the chain gang, appeals were taken
yesterday and two of the three were
released. George Van Ness still re-
NAMED in Jail last night, his friends
being unable to find Justice Frederick
son, who had left police headquarters
Van Ness probably will be released
when Justice Frederickson appears in
his court today.
Acting Mayor Pease said that he
had not signed telegram requesting
that the governor pardon the Social
ists because he was not familiar with
all the details of their conviction. He
said ne would have been willing to
sign the telegram had Prosecutor
Woolwine also consented to sign it,
but the latter objected.
J. P. McNally and j. A. hewitt, who
have been on the chain gang for nearly
two weeks, when they returned to the
city Jail yesterday evening were al
lowed to go. They were met at the
Jail entrance by a number of their So
cialist friends.
These last prisoners were released
directly an appeal was filed. The So
cialists took this step as a speedier
method of securing the release of their
associates than would be the asking
of the governor for pardons.
The appeals will never be heard.

PUGILISTIC PROWESS HIS
SPECIAL FORM OF MANIA
Inventor, Under Examination for Inc
sanity, Gives Cory Details of His
Performances with Noted
Przefighters

II knocked out fifteen men in one
night when 1 was being initiated into
the Elks and Masons," said William A.
Small during his examination before
the insanity commission in Judge
Rives' court yesterday. "They put up
the best men they had, but 1 cleaned
them all out. l knocked out Malachy
Hogan, Packy Mcfarland and a num-
Der of celebrated fighters. There was
nothing to it; 1 was too much for
them"
Small was arrested some time ago at
local hotel, where he had terrorized
the guests by chasing several walters
from the dining room with a pistol. 1t
seems that several years ago Small in
vented a noiseless attachment for type
writer's, and in perfecting the contriv-
ance applied himself so studiously to
the task that his mind became unbal-
anced.
He was adjudged insane and will be
sent to Patton.

liam Jennings Bryan's suggestion that

SAN DIEGO ORDINANCE

unconstitutional in that it conflicts

The substance of the opinion is that
opium and preparations containing the
same are recognized as being of
poisonous nature, and the sale and dis
position of such drugs is a proper sub
ject of legislation under the police
power of the state, even to the extent
of absolutely prohibiting the sale and
disposal thereof.
