| The county campaign is going
on as regular as the days go by
and much speaking is being done
to fairly large crowds. The
candidates were at Raft Swamp
Thursday, Saddle Tree Friday
and Attention Saturday. The
Robesonian man was unable to
make the two last-named places
but he has been informed that
nothing unusual took place. Oh
these three places Raft Swamp
was. probably the liveliest. Mr..

speech making and Mr.. w. H
Kinlaw closed it, that is, as fan
as the candidates were concern
ed, but just here is where things
happened. Messrs. Jno. E. Car.

spell. Mr.. Carlyle was the frs
to take the stage and he loudly
warned the people against Re
publicanism; and then came Mr..
Culbreth, or Windy Billy" a!
he is sometimes called, and il
Prof. Norris had not been calico
to sing a song there is no telling
when that speech would have
ended.
The candidates have gone tt
Kingsdale today.

Left on Her Doorstep For This
Mother.

Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Liver
moore, CAL, writes: Il picked
up from my doorstep one day a
little book in which soon became
very much interested. My little
girl of five years of age had been
troubled for a long time with loss
of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all
rundown and in a very delicate
condition.
This little book was very
comprehensively written, and
told of the new method of ex-
tracing the medicinal elements
of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil
which is so hard for children to
take.
" Just the thing, said I, for
my little daughter and l i'm
mediately went for a bottle of
Vlnol. 1t helped her wonderful
ly. She has gained rapidly in
flesh and strength. and she does
not take cold half so easily.
Il am extremely grateful for
the good it has done her, and l
hope other mothers who have
weak, delicate or ailing children
will be benefited by my expert
ence and just give Vinol a trial. -

TOATTEND NORTHERN
BOOSTERS CONGRESS
REALTY SECRETARY LEAVES
FOR SACRAMENTO
Will Gather Ideas for Service in
Southern California in Connec-
ton with Proposed "Pros-
perity Week"

Herbert Burdett, executive secretary
of California State Realty federation
left yesterday for Sacramento to at
tend what for want of a more dignified
name may be called a boosters con-
gress," which will be held in the capital
city on Wednesday and Thursday OF
this week.
The real estate men of the Sacra-
mento valley, the promotion men of the
valley, including secretaries and other
officers of chambers of commerce and
boards of trade, the newspaper men
and the mayors of various towns trib-
utary to Sacramento will each hold a
separate meeting and probably will ar
range the details of an organization
and finally a general meeting of the
delegates present will be held.
1t is believed that participation in
this congress will incidentally bring q
number of realty agents, not yet af-
filiated with the state federation, into
line.
Perhaps the principal idea of the
congress is to centralize and unite the
advertising and other promotion eff
forts of the Sacramento valley. Bur
dett expects to CLEAN some ideas tina
may be of service to Southern Califor
mia in connection with the proposed
prosperity week." and it is possible
that upon his return an invitation will
be sent to real estate men of the south
ern counties to meet in convention in
Los Angeles during prosperity week.

DOG FIGHT PROMOTERS
FALL DOWN ON SCRAP
Had Planned Lively Little Go OndeT
the orpheum Stage, but Circun1-
stances Made the Match
InadVisable

A choice little bunch of sports about
the Orpheum, mostly in the region
known as "back stage who have been
frcming up a quiet little dog fight for
the past ten days, We're Woetul!y dlsap-
pointed yesterday. And those Whom
they did not let in on the game III IL
was exploded are wing them no rest,
in consequence.
When Fred Warren, the ex-mlnstrel,
arrived at the Orpheum week before
last he brought with him Jessie, as tlne
a specimen of a bulldog of the Boston
variety as one would care to see. Jessie
became friendly with all the stage crew
and was much admired.
When Frank Gardiner, who is in this
weeks bill. wrote about his dressing
rooms last week, he asked that pro-
vision be made for Buster, an imported
English bulldog of 'mean disposition
fame and fighting qualities. Then 1t
was that the boys "back' put their
heads together, fitted up small room
i'm the basement under the stage, bought
gunpowder and raw meat, let few
f,,'o,7 $ "in on" it, and prepared for the
scrap.
Jessie was carefully groon-d all last
week. though Fred Warren was not ad-
vised as to why his pet attracted so
much unusual attention. And great
plans were made Tor the reception Of
Buster Monday morning, Wheh Gar
1er was due.
Buster came. Jessie, at the same
time. happened to be in the greenroom.
The word went back that the two dogs
were at hand, and the crew deserted to
see the fun
Jessie slept peacefully in one corner
of the greenroom. Buster was cor
rallied by one of the boys, and taken
there
"Now, sic M" was the word.
Jessie aWoke. Buster walked GIN
gerly over toward her; shifted, and
the two dogs licked their chops and lay
down quietly in the corner the best Of
Tciendsi
1t developed afterward that they had
crossed the continent together, and this
was the first occasion they had been
separated in several weeks.
You couldn't get a bet, even of a
lostage stamp, on a dog fight within a
mile of the Orpheum these days.

WANT DIXON CHOSEN
CAPTAIN OF POLICE
NO APPOINTMENT WILL BE
MADE AT PRESENT
Mrs. AubIe's Name Placed on the
Pension List-Will Receive
$66.66 a Month from
City

The police commission yesterday re
ceived a resolution from Bartlett-Logan
post, G. A. r., asking that Lieut.. c. E.
Dixon be named captain to fill the
place left vacant by the death of Capt.
Auble. The resolution was based on
the ground that Lieut.. Dixon was ell
igible by reason of his being the only
one on the civil service list, and from
the fact that he had served in the
Spanish American war. The resolution
was ordered filed.
A similar resolution was presented to
the board at it's meeting a Week ago
by the Spanish-American War Neter-
ans, and this resolution also was filed.
1t was explained by Mayor Harper
at that time that no one would be ap-
pointed to the captaincy. as the good
of the police department did not de-
pend on the extra captain. To snow;
however, that no animosity toward
Lieut., Dixon existed, the commission
recommended to the civil service board
that the time of his eligibility be eX-
tended one year.
Mrs. Florence Auble. widow of Capt.
w. H. Auble, yesterday applied to the
police board for pension.
Under the state law regulating such
matters Mrs Auble is entitled to one
third of the amount received as salary
by Capt. Auble when he was killed,
which will be $66.66 month. When
she is placed on the pension list she will
draw the largest widows pension paid
by the pension board in Los Angeles.
Her request was referred to the city
attorney, which is the regular method
in such matters. AS soon as he makes
his report, and he is asked to hasten
it, Mrs. Auble will be placed on the
pension list. The pension board, which
as composed of the same members as
the police commission, will hold a spe-
cial session as soon as all the techni-
calities are complied with.

A. M. Beardsley, Arrested, Says He
Thought He Had Sufficient
Money in the
Bank

A. M Beardsley, a contractor of

Deputy Constable Jack Johnston on
a charge of passing a check for SIS

by Burns, and bonds were fixed al
$500. Examination was set for Octo-
ber 20 at 2 o'clock.

GAS COMPANIES
DENY MERGER
REPORT OF CONSOLIDATION Is
DECLARED ERRONEOUS
PRESIDENT CLINE SAYS NO SUCH
ACTION CONSIDERED
Rumor That Domestic Company Had
Absorbed older Concern Said
by Officials to Be
Mistake

Officials of the two big gas COM
panies in Los Angeles deny the report
that there has been consolidation OF
the corporations or that the Domestic
has in any way absorbed the Los An
geles Gas and Electric company.
Walter B. Cline, president of the
Los Angeles Gas and Electric COM
pany, was emphatic yesterday in his
denial that consolidation had been ef-
fected.
Mr.. Cline said:
"The report that the company OF
which I am president has been alb
sorbed by the Pacific Light and Power
company or the Domestic Gas com"
pany is entirely erroneous.
"Such an action has not even been
discussed"
OFFICIALS of the Domestic Gas COM
panv and the Pacific Light and Power
company yesterday denied also that
consolidation had been made.
The report started from the action

what she was doing. Her testimony
confirmed the deposition of the drug
clerk Yesterday that Mrs. Finn was
suffering from temporary insanity when
she committed the act.
]. r. Ritch, the detective who es-
corted Mrs. Finn from the scene of tho
tragedy to the station. and got a vol
untary confession from her in bed at
the city jail next monring, was called
to the stand, but only after heated
disagreement was his testimony all
lowed. Attorney Thompson objected to
the hearing of the confession on the
ground that it had not been proved
conclusively that J. E. Mahaffey had
met his death by the gunshot wounds
inflicted by the revolver of the defend
ant AS the only witness able to give
expert testimony on the subject is DR..
G. w. Campbell, who performed the
autopsy, but is now in Canada, coun-
sci for the defense urged that con-
tinuance be given until he should re-
turn.
The court finally overruled the OBJ
lection, and the detective testified that
he was sent for by Mrs. Finn in the
morning after the shooting and was
admitted, with the matron, to her ward,
where the accused was in bed. Mrs.
Finn said that all the previous night S
happenings were clear to her now and
she related them to Ritch. She said
Mahaffey came to her lodging house
and set down his suit case, but when
she answered the bell he left and re-
fused to come back when she called
him. She saw her brother go after him,
and, fearing bodily harm for the for
mer, took gun from Mahaffey's suit
case and followed them. When she
saw them together she fired two shots
at Mahaffey, and declared she knew
not why.
In leaving he asked her if she were
in a delicate condition and she replied
yes" Ritch also testified that he had
heard from her brother that Mahaffey
was responsible for her condition.
The hearing will be resumed today.
