in something like quiet.
"Goings has committed damnable
crime" he concluded. He has been
guilty of political treason and he
ought to be punished by political
death" Then Theodore A. Bell the new
dictator of the democracy in California
appeared on the platform to take a
hand in the melee. There was no
mistaking his attitude after his first
sentence.
81 am glad" he said. that the great
issue which is before this state has
come before this convention in con-
crete form. If the hirelings of the
Southern Pacific want to exercise po-
litical influence they must henceforth
look to the republican party. 1t has
been the shame of the democracy that
men claiming to be democrats have
done the dirty work of the railroad
machine. The reason Herrin, Parker,
Jere Burke and the rest of the gang
are in control is that they name the
republican Legislative candidates in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento
and the other cities and then get a
bunch of recalcitrant democrats to put
up men against them that the people
can't vote for. | asked Goings to
withdraw his name from the demo-
cratic ticket two years ago. He did so,
but after that he went out to beat the
democratic candidate for governor Let

Great applause greeted this speech.
Bell is going to the bat, all right"
was the general comment. M. B. Jones
of Goings' delegation wanted 1t under

not head the delegation from the sew

A. C. Harper" he said.
At this point Archibald Yell of Sac
ramento, former warden of the state
prison, suggested that Goings defend
himself. 1t was explained that he was
at home with his sick wife.
Hasn't he a friend in that delega-
tion to say a good word for him ?''
asked Yell.
"No-no-not one, not one," came a
roar from the Los Angeles delegation,
which was now solidly against Goings.

US 10 refuSe TO pass on these contests,
but we can't help it. You have given
US a feather duster and asked us to
brush the spines off all the cacti in
Los Angeles county and we can't do it."
At this point "A. D. Warner of Los
Angeles. nicknamed silver Dick, arose
with fire in his eye and a voice that
foreboded trouble to move as an
amendment to the committee report
that the name of R. F. Goings of the
seventieth district of Los Angeles be
stricken from the roll of delegates TO
the convention. The convention i'm
mediately scented trouble from the
stormy southland.
A RAILROAD CONSPIRATOR
Warner strode up to the platform
and began his remarkable fight to have
Goings branded a traitor and read out
of the party by reading a resolution.
1t declared Goings the keeper of a
disreputable saloon in Los Angeles and
charged that he had accepted the dem
ocratic nomination for railroad COM
missioner two years ago as part of a
conspiracy arranged by Eddie Morris
for the Southern Pacific machine by
which the republican candidate, Theo-
dore Summerland, was to be assured of
election. The resolution ended with a
plea that Goings and his coconspira-
tor, Eddie" Morris, be declared unfit
to associate with men of honor and
they be forever barred from the coun-
ellis of the party.
This resolution acted like an ex-
plosive on the convention. The friends
of Goings in Los Angeles county's dele
cation raised an uproar and delegates
from other counties Joined in without
much knowledge of the merits of the
dispute.
There was pandemonium when "Si1-
yer Dick" started to speak to his reso-
luton.
II am not here" he started. YOU
are shouted somebody, and bursts of
laughter added a new note to the con-
fusion. Cries of ''sit DOWN. "go
aheadr' soak him some morer drown
ed Warmers voice, but did not dismay
him.
That voice comes from a band of
blackguards from Los Angeles" he
cried. There are only 80 of them.''
Are you member of the Union
League republican club or were you
blackballed?' came voice from the
uproar.
Warner persisted, his voice rising
from time TO time above the storm
and his violent gesticulation helping
him to queIl the disturbance. He told
how Herrin and Walter Parker used
the democratic party in the south to
AID the election OF tnelr machine re-
publican candidates for the legisla-
ture, the railroad commission and the
assessorship.
I'VE made cleanup against the
machine yesterday" he cried. Lets
go down the line and kick all the
rascals out"

STOCKS BREAK SHARPLY.
Discouraging Reports Precipitate
 Rapid Drop.

New York, March 1S.-Following reduction in the New York Central div idend from six to five per cent. year. the passing of the common stock divl- dend of the Union Typewriter company, and reports of more dividend reduc- tions by other leading companies. stocks broke very sharply this after noon, closing near bottom.
 New York Central, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Union Pacific, and Reading led the decline. New York Gen. tra dropped four points, from 100 to S6, by 2;45 o'clock Others were nearly as much down.
 Some very poor statements of earn ings, notably that of Baltimore and Ohio, which showed a decrease of S1, 216,O00 gross for February, making a decrease of s3,509,O0O for the last three months, and a decrease of s, 106, GOO net for three months, led many to believe that other trunk line railroads would have to reduce their dividends. But action by Pennsylvania will not come until May, and that on Baltimore and Ohio is still further off. The Atchison is expected to take action soon

New York, March 1S-The stock mar

 presented such sharp contradictions that it had the effect of greatly con

 the leaders and these persons succeed ed in so befogging their actions and their intentions as to leave the would
 be followers in considerable distress of mind. The strong recovery in yester- days late market was held to indicate that the bull leadership had let down
