Returns were received at the Elks' Home
and it was not until about three o'clock on
Wednesday morning that the result was
known, and then there were some cases
which required the official returns to
settle. One instance was that of members
of the county Republican committee.
When the sheets were closed on Wednes-
day morning it appeared that Howard
Russ had been successful, but when the
election officers sent in their papers it was
found that Mr.. Russ had run about one
hundred votes behind Mr.. Kingdom.

INTEREST OF MILES LONG Is
ATTACKED IN SUIT
Property Valued at Sixty Thousand

With the hope that the courts may
restore to the estate of the late Miles

$50 900 decided to Miles Long, q former
Los Angeles policeman, and his wife,
Julia f. Long, Attorney J. Il. Carrigan,
representing a number of Riley's heirs,
filed two suits in the superior court
yesterday, asking that the deeds be de-
clared null on the ground that they
were obtained fraudulently and at a
time when Riley was suffering from
the effects Of a stroke of paralysis,
Already a contest has been started
over Riley's will, the provisions OF
which make Long and his wife bene-
ficiaries for a large amount of his prop
erty. This hearing, which Is set down

to some future day by Judge RlVes OF
the probate court.
The property involved in the suits
filed Yesterday includes house and lana
at AIS Temple street and tract on
Buena Vista street. The first named
property was decided to Mrs. Long, the
latter to her husband, in 1902, but the

WILD WEST TO
CONQUER BEACH
COWBOYS AND GIRLS PLAN
CHARGE ON OCEAN PARK
WEEKS RUN OF "RoUNDUP" TO
HAVE EXCITING PRELUDE
Big Time Will Start at Venice This
Afternoon with Dash of Horse
men Along Ocean
Front

The "Round-Up" at Ocean Park, a cell
ebration of the Crescent bay cities
which Is to open Monday for week
run, will have a most interesting pre-
lude this afternoon on the beach from
Venice through ocean Park to Bristol
pier. The members of the Outwest Rid
ing club Of Southern California, and
who are to assist in the Roundup cell
ebration, will be the central figures,
together with the lady members of the
"Going Some" company playing at the
Auditorium this week.
To add to the realistic feature of the
performance, a band of Apache Indians,
under the direction of Antonio Apache,
will be on hand.
An interesting feature of the Round
Up for the coming week will be a Wild
West section, in which will be seen
cowboys cowgirls, wild west riders, In
dians and the old Concord stage known
as the Horace Greeley stage of sixty
years ago. now owned by Los Angeles
parties. 1t is still in good condition,
and to 1t will be hitched eight horses
that are kept we'll in hand by the Out
west riders.
In the stage coach will be seen sew
eral of the Outwest Riding club girls,
and with them, as their guests, the
women of the "Going Some" company
On the top of the coach will be the
treasure chest, and several OF the cow
boys, all accompanied by wild west
outriders.
A dash will be made from Venice
along the strand at low tide, at A
o'clock, in truly wild west style. On
approaching Bristol pier band of the
rough riders, disguised as highwaymen
will dash out, hold up the overland
coach, secure the treasure chest, take
the fair passengers prisoners, and after
killing most of the escort with their
captured horses, will return to the
''robber cave" under the pier.
The escape of one of the western girls
from the coach, a quick dash to one of
the riderless horses, and her escape
along the strand on the captured horse,
pursued by a number of the bandits
endeavoring to lasso the daring rider
and her horse, will add to the excite
ment, while her escape to the interior
of the corral will allow her to notify the
sheriff and cowboys assembled of the
predicament of her theatrical guests
the loss of the treasure and the captiv-
ity of her friends and the guard of the
outhl.
/ body of scouts, rough riders and
tn, wild west members of the "Going
Some company, on horseback will
dash up the strand to the rescue. A
fierce fusillade, a hand-to-hand strug-
gle, the annihilation or capture of the
band of outlaws the rescue of the fair
prisoners and the repossession of the
treasure chest will enable the posse to
return to the corral in triumph.
This little side issue as a prelude of
the wild West" weeks entertainment
is only on a similar line of the scenes
enacted at the Tournament of Roses.
and this afternoons free entertainment
undoubtedly will be "Going Some" for
those who have feeling OF enjoyment
over outdoor sports.
The Going Some" girls will be intro
decd for the first time to real action
in wild west scene.

MANY JAPANESE
SWARM SEATTLE
tcontInued from PAGE one,

citizens of Seattle. Afterward they
were guests of honor at a reception in
the Washington state building, and at
10 o'clock an elaborate fireworks dis
play began, the most gorgeous feature
of which depicted the fall of Port Ar
thur.
The commissioners are anxious to get
into their special train. Some COM
plain of too much entertainment and
too little sleep.
The entertainment of the Japanese
commercial commissioners was largely
in the hands of the local Japanese, who
for months had been preparing for the
celebration Of Japan day at the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition, and had
collected $4,000 to defray expenses. All
japanese in the Pacific northwest who
could conveniently come to Seattle to
see the commissioners and the eXposi-
tion did so. There are 1000 Japanese
residents in Seattle.
The thoroughfares of the exposition
were hung with $4,000 Japanese Ian
terms, and the Japanese, being granted
a free hand in the matter of arrang-
ing flowers, etc, gave the fair genu-
inc Oriental aspect.
Downtown Parade
The events of the day began with a
downtown parade. The procession was
led by a picturesque Samurai horse
man in armor Then followed a hun
dred or more automobiles carrying the
commissioners and the Seattle business
men. The four Japanese women with
the visitors wore native dress and took
part in the parade
At the exposition gate a national
pageant was formed which absorbed
the automobiles. Fifty Samurai in an
cient armor were followed by 100 flower
girls in native dress.
Then came 200 merchants in native
costume, and after them 500 Japanese
representing the various trades and
professions OF Japan, with the garb
appropriate to each. Two beautiful
girls, riding on a temple float and rep
resenting the goddesses of wealth and
beauty, threw 10000 Japanese coins to
the crowds as they passed
After the parade the Japanese com
missioners were entertained at strict
ly Japanese dinner in the national
building, and later there were formal
exercises in the exposition auditorium,
the exposition officials welcoming the
commissioners and Baron Shibusawa
and others responding.
The celebration at the exposition end
ed tonight with the fireworks display
representing the capture of Port Ar
thur.

Objects to Moore's Orders
Regarding the wearing of the G.
A. r. button the following are the
facts as L understand them and which
I have never heard denied: Shortly
after the promotion of the treasurer
to the Office which he now holds
major), he had number of men sent
before the governor for mutllatlnS
their uniforms. The mutilation con-
sisted of working a small hole in the
cloth to hold the button. Technically
speaking, we were not forbidden to
wear the button only told that we
must not make a place for it. The
mutiIation of clothing cry looked to
us as excuse to Danish the button.
I'm all the years this home has been
established no such complaint has
ever been found. Coming from a man
without a minutes military training,
an Englshman who would not be-
come an American citizen until neces-
sary to do so to secure a government
job, made it still harder to bear and,
for a while, things were blue in camp
AS a pacifier, an order was issued that
all who wished to wear the button
could have hole worked in their coat
at the home tailor shop. But the
damage had been done and nothing
ever will take the soreness away until
those in authority here who have
shown so little respect for us are rele-
gated to civil life.
1.-The full board of managers will be
here September g. and 8. They are
anxious to hear complaints, but it
is evident that but few will go before
them, preferring to await the long ex-
pected congressional investigation
Nothing ever comes from going before

managers of the National Homes sup

Free Trial of Stock TONES

There is really no secret about stock
tonics-neither about their ingredients
nor their effects on live stock. There is
also no doubt about the usefulness OF
stock tonics Their good effects are as
certain as are the nutrient action OF
foods. In fact the benefits of rightly
compounded tonic are more certain than
that of food.
Feed sometimes nourishes and some
times doesn't It depends altogether on
the condition organs Of digestion assim-
ilation.
But good tonic. used as intended, al
ways acts with stimulating and restora-
tive effect on the functions that make
nutrition possible.
The Wilbur Stock Food company offers
to demonstrate the certainty of the bene-
fits of their stock tonic, in every case, by
giving away, in locations where they
have no agent, a 25-pound pail to any
stock owner who will ask for it. accom-
panying the request by a statement of
the number of head of stock he owns.
They have been making this stock
tonic for Is years, and know absolutely
what it will do. They run no risk in Civ
ing away the 20 pounds, as they are GER
tain it will be it's own best solicitor in
the hands of the intelligent stock owner.
Every keeper of live stock ought to
take advantage of the offer for his own
satisfaction and profit Write the Wilbur
Stock Food company, 73S Huron street
Milwaukee, Wis, stating the number OF
hogs, cattle and horses you own, or fill
out the coupon attached to the compa-
ny's advertising and send it with request
for a pail of stock tonic, which will be
sent promptly without any charge.

have suggested the use of a little more
potash than you used before and little
less phosphoric acid. For corn prob
ably 10 per cent of potash is more de-
sirable than per cent but wheat does
not make as heavy a draft on the land
as corn. We would say to use this fer
tilizer at the rate of not less than 800
pounds per acre, though probably 500
pounds would be better.
The advisability of top dressing with
nitrate of soda will depend almost en-
tirely on the character of growth made
during the winter and early spring. II
the crop is backward or if you should
Craze it at all this winter and thus re-
tard the growth, you would probably find
1t advisable to top dress with nitrate Of
soda. This should be done early in
the season, say ABOUT the first of March,
and In some sections of the state, prob
ably before this date.
There are a great many varieties of
wheat on the market, and our expert
ence in testing this crop has been quite
extensive So many of the old varieties
are put on the market under new names
that it is difficult to purchase seed and
get just what you want, but if you can
secure a first-elass strain of the old Full
caster or Mediterranean, we believe you
can hardly do better. Fultz wheat has
given good results in many sections. Blue
Straw is probably a corruption of the
name, Blue Straw Fultz, which is a fair
ly good variety, but hardly as good we
think as the first two mentioned.

GOOD TIME OVER
GEORGIA ROADS

From Savannah to Atlanta in an auto
mobile in just II hours is the record es-
tablished by James L. Sibley, Jr., of Sa-
vannah on Monday. He made the drive
in a 30-horsepower Cadillac owned by
Samuel B. Fowler, who also made the
trip.
The machine left Savannah just after
the pace maker in the Georgia reliability
run, but some ten miles out of the city
passed the leading car and came to At
lanta in great time. The fast time made
on this trip shows the Improvements that
have been made on the state roads within
the past few months in anticipation of the
state contest.
Mr. Sibley left Savannah Monday morn
ing about 4:45 o'clock and pulled into At
lanta the same evening at $50 O'Clock.
The entire trip covered Is ga hours in
GLIDING several stops of 20 minutes each.
his actual running time being II hours.
Mr. Sibley was greatly pleased with
the condition of the roads from Savannah
and stated that he did not believe another
stretch Of as good roads could be found
anywhere. He was loud in his praise OF
the good roads movement and asked that
the car be entered for run next year.
The other Savannah cars making the
run to Atlanta stopped over Monday
night at Milledgeville and started Tor
Atlanta early Tuesday morning. They
all reached the city Tuesday.

BALLINGER CALLS
CLAWS A LIAR
Says Article In Golfers Attack
ing Him on Alaskan Coal Lands
Is Tissue. of Falsehoods. "
Others Denounce 1t.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Secretary
Richard A. Ballinger, of the department
of the interior, has issued the following
statement:
my attention has been directed to the
text of an article purporting to have been
written by Mr.. r. l.. CLAWS, which
is to appear in Golfers Weekly, and ad-
vance copies of which have been furnish
ed by that weekly to the press.
1.-The CLAWS story is tissue of false
hoods and insinuations utterly unwarrant-
ed. in view of the facts easily obtained
bv ANYBODY who wants them. The state
ment of CLAWS has gained nothing either
as to its veracity or justification in the
interval since it's presentation to the pres
ident and in view of the complete vindica-
ton by the president of myself and the
other officers of the department concern
ed. I will make no further statement at
present"
BENNETT ALSO DENIES.
Commissioner Fred bennett of the gen.
eral land office, made the following state
ment regarding the CLAWS charges:
THE article is simply a repetition of
the charges submitted to the president
and which the president, after examining
all the evidence and the officials records,
characterized as spreads of suspicion
and so disingenious that he authorized
CLAWS dismissal It is the same false
coloring Of isolated portions of the record
and OF a series of transactions which, in
their entirety refute the inference CLAWS
wishes drawn from the portions pub
lished."
MOORE REPLIES.
wALLA wALLA. Wash, Nov. Eek
Governor Miles c. Moore, one Of the
claimants to the so-called Cunningham
group Of coal mine claims in Alaska, who
is in this city today made a statement
in reply to the CLAWS article. in which he
says;
Part of Mr.. CLAWS communication con-
tanning what purports to be statement
from me has one serious defect. 1t con-
tains no truth.
CLAWS quotes me as saying, Secretary
Ballinger would have patented the Cum
ningham claims but for my protest No
such statement was made by Ballinger to
me or to CLAWS"
