things that happened to Gus Kruger.
who pleaded guilty yesterday in Pas
adena justice court to the charge OF

Krugers place has been watched
carefully for almost three years. Not
until last wetk, however, did the author
tiles gain sufficient knowledge to con-
meet him with the illegal sale of liquor.
Then his place was raided. A large
amount of booze" was loaded into an
automobile and Kruger was placed In
the front seat. Just before reaching
Pasadena the automobile hit an OBJ
struction, stopped with g. jerk and
Kruger was thrown headforemost into
a ditch. A score of bottled cheerful
ness followed, and Kruger. believing he
was being bombarded with his own am
munition, started to retreat. He was
retaken, the automobile was pried from
the place In which 1t was stuck and
the trip was resumed. He pleaded
guilty before Justice Klamroth.

"Since I was notified to abolish dice
shaking" said Weber FEEDER, a Broad
way dealer, "my business has been
cut down one-half I cannot stay in
business long without dice. I cannot
see that our little dice shaking is any
worse than, il indeed it resembles gam
bling so much as, the rafting of prizes
that goes on everywhere over the city.
OF course, If it is law, we must abide
by It, but 1 never heard of such a
thing in any city in the states"

HALT IS CALLED IN
MESERvE- -BURBRIDGE
WAR OVER POULTRY
Fight Ii Out to Bitter End Is Slogan
of Both Parties, but Court
Orders Postpone
ment

There were no recitals in Justice
Summerfields court yesterday of the
troubles that led to a break in the
amicable relations between the families
of Harry w. Meserve, clerk in the su-
perior court, and o. III. Burbridge,
broker and clubman.
Mrs. Burbridge, charged by Meserve
with disturbing the peace, appeared in
court with her right arm still in a
sling. the result, she says, of injuries
inflicted by Meserve when she refused
to leave his duck ranch Friday. Be-
cause of these injuries Mrs. Burbridge
caused Meserve's arrest on a charge of
battery. Both cases were set for 8
o'clock yesterday, but it took more
than an hour for either sidelto discover
that no settlement out of court could
be reached.
Meserve wanted Mrs. Burbridge to
agree that she would never again ap-
proach his home. Mrs. Burbridge
wanted Meserve to stipulate that he
would move forthwith from the prop
erty he claims to have leased.
Don't agree to anything of the
kind" Burbridge told his wife. II will
supply you with all the money you
want to fight this case"
"Fight it out to the bitter end,
Harry" Mrs. Meserve told her hus-
band.
And each side decided to follow this
advice. Attorney A. d. Warner repre-
sented Mrs. Burbridge and objected to
a continuance of the case suggested by
S. S. Sanders, employed by the district
attorney. Justice Summerfield con-
tinued both cases until November IL in
order to give Sanders an opportunity
to make an investigation. Pending the
trials it is believed an agreement will
be reached satisfactory to both sides.

ONE LONELY ELECTOR
PROVES BIG PROBLEM
Santa Monica Man Cannot Act SINGLE
Handed as the Judges, the in-
spectors and the Ballot
Clerks

There is a peculiar situation in pre-
cinct No. 8, Santa Monica. When the
election board arranged it's election
proclamation it was supposed that pre-
cinct was without a voter, SO no
place was designated in which TO holu
the election and no officers were ap-
pointed. ,.. of
fidayits, Deputy County Clerk BroWn
has discovered one lonely quallneo
elector in the precinct in the person
OF D. A. Machado. Now the questinli s0nta
Is what to do. Machado must vote.
He cannot vote in another preclnct
and his precinct cannot be added 10
an adjoining one because OF the inter-
ference of ward and assembly lines;
The law provides that whenever tue
board of supervisors fails to designate
fhe nlace for holding an election the
iIstice of neace of the township must
NV an order name the house or build
ing in the precinct where the VOTES
must be cast. If the board mas not
appointed the election officers the elec-
tors present at the hour of opening
the polls may name them.
But the law also provides for TWO
Judges, two inspectors, two clerks and
two ballot clerks, and there are but
two or three residents in the preclhct
other than Machado, who, moreover
is the only qualified elector. ., :
How to provide for these officers is
a question that is disturbing the minds
of Brown, Deputy District ATTORNEY
G.. Ray Horton, to whom the matter
has been submitted, and the super
visorial body. The law must pc prok-
en- in some way and in the least op-
iectionable manner. 1t is probable
Several electors will be sent to pre-
cinct the morning of election day to
act as officers and receive, record and
announce Machado's vote.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 27.-The tribute
of his home was paid to Gen. Benta-
min Harrison today, when thousands
of citizens gathered, despite disagree
able weather, to witness the unveiling
of the striking bronze likeness of their
fellow townsman.
Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks,
who is president of the Harrison Me-
mortal association, in a few remarks
presented the monument to the people.
A parade participated In by the
Tenth u. S. infantry from Fort Ben1a-
min Harrison, one regiment of the In
diana National Guard and 700 civil war
veterans including many members or
the Seventh regiment, of which for
mer President Harrison was colonel,
preceded the unveiling exercises.
While the great silent throng looked
on, little Elizabeth Harrison left the
side of her mother in the reviewing
Btand opposite the monument and made
her way past the seats of the hun
dreds of her fathers army comrades
and up the steps till she stood before
the draped figure of the man whose
last picture was taken with her in his
arms.
Draping Is Drawn
She reached out and tugged at q
cord that hung loose from the flags
that formed the drapingI The flags re-
leased, opened out and revealed the
bronze figure. The little girl then lifted
an American flag from the base of
the monument, uncovering an immense
laurel wreath sent by President Roose-
welt. Carrying this she returned as
she had come to present it to her
mother. a
On the stand were the distinguished
guests. The family party included Mrs.
Harrison and daughter and Russell B.
Harrison; three members of General
Harrison's cabinet, John w. Noble of

.ESTUDILLO MEN

SANTA ANA REPUBLICANS ARE
DESPERATE
coin-Roosevelter Rally with Den-
ocrats for Wheeling Orange
County Into Line for Cam
didate Gill
Especial to The Herald.l ]

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 27.-The local
political pot is now seething caul-
dron, beneath which the fire is being
industriously stirred by a fairly we'll
united Democracy and two factions in
the Republican ranks, to say nothing
of Socialists, Prohibitionists and few
followers of Hearst, who are not quite
certain as to where they are at since the
Los Angeles Examiner took up the
fight against Bryan and gave aid and
comfort to the Republicans. The main
fight here is against Estddillo, Repub-
lican nominee for the state senate, and
with the help of the Lincoln -Roose-
Velters 1t now looks like the Democrats
were going to defeat him.
The exploitation of Estudillo's rec
ord in the assembly, as given by La
fayette Gill, the Democratic nominee,
has aroused even the most careless
among the younger voters, with the
result that open announcement has been
made by many dyed-in-the-wool Re-
publicans that this time the hard and
fast rule will be broken and that they
will scratch the name of the Repub-
lican candidate for state senator from
their tickets and substitute that of
Lafayette GIL.
AS a last resort to injure Gill, stories
were put in circulation yesterday re-
fiecting upon his private character and
domestic relations which if true would
cut no figure in this connection, but
as they are absolutely false they will
fail of their purpose and constitute
easily refuted roorbacks.
A feature of the organized opposi-
ton to Estudillo came to light this
afternoon, when petition setting
forth the reasons for voting for Gill
instead of the Republican nominee
was circulated and is being largely
signed by prominent Republicans, who
thus pledge themselves to support the
Democratic nominee.
In the meantime a careful canvass
of the county has been made and the
result is said to show that Gill will
receive more than enough majority to
counterbalance the majority of Es-
tudillo in Riverside, even If the latter
should get as big a vote as was given
Governor Gillett, which is believed to
be very doubtful.
Gill announced at his last meeting
here that he would not return to
Orange county before election, having
decided to spend all the time possible
in his home county, but developments
of the last two days may make it i'm
perative for him to deliver one more
address.
