He sped away into darkness, and in

trying to greet him with smile. He

trembling little woman in his arms and
told her that he understood.

t1ARPER'S RESIGNATION DOES NOT HALT RECALL;
ELECTION MUST Be HELD, SAYS CITY ATTORNEY

Immediately after his re-
turn from Sacramento, where
he had been looking after the
city's interests before the
legislature, Mr.. Hewitt began
consideration of the problems
that arose following Harper's
resignation. In his opinion
that the recall election must
be held he sustairis the un-
official ruling of his deputy,
Emmett H. Wilson, who had
expressed the belief that the
resignation of Harper did not
arrest the recall movement.
MIR. Hewitt holds that the
recall movement was in opera
ton before the mayor of the
city resigned and that to halt
the election at this date would
deprive the voters of the priv
lege of deciding who shall serve
as the chief executive of the
city. :
Following is the opinion OF

ton, Which Is Ac-
cepted

Herbert d. Kennedy, mayors secre-
tary resigned yesterday. He declared
that his position was a confidential one
and that it was better for the mayor
to have some one in the place whom he
knew well to act as his confidential
clerk.
Mr.. Kennedy had some difficulty in
inducing the mayor to accept his res
ignation, but at last Mr.. Stephens did
so and Mr.. Kennedy gave up his keys
last night. Mr.. Stephens has no one
in mind for the position. but will try
to use some one around the city hall
for the two weeks he is in office.

no reason So far as he knows why he
should resign.
Sergeants Sebastian, Redmond and

tender their designations to Chief OF

Each OF these officers says his record
is clear in the department and that
there is no evidence of wrongdoing.

Prominently Mentioned

Among the names prominently mem
toned as a successor to Chief of Police
Thomas Broadhead, if the latter re-
signs, Is that of Samuel L. Browne,
now at the head of the department of
criminal investigation in the district
attorneys office. Although Mr.. Browne
is comparatively a recent arrival at
Los Angeles. his work in the office. OF
which he is the head, has been such
as to direct special attention to his
superior ability.
Mr.. Brownies record as civil service
officer of the United States is a
source of natural pride. His services
for the government during the Spanish
American war have been highly spoken
of by those under whom he was direct
ly employed.
In a recently published statement of
Gen. Leonard Wood, Mr.. Brownies
services In the Philippines are referred
to in terms of high praise. His duties
then consisted partly in running down

NITY ATTORNEY LES
LIE HEWITT has Off
cially ruled that in his
opinion the recall election
must be held and that the
resignation of Arthur c. Har-
per does not in any way ar
rest the proceedings, as has
been the contention of the ma
chine element and its attor-
neys.
City Attorney Hewitt holds
that the voters of the city can
not be deprived of the right of
electing the successor of the
mayor sought to be recalled
merely because that official
saw fit to resign under fire.
The opinion of Mr.. Hewitt
is hailed as a great victory by
the advocates of good govern
ment, who see in it protection
for the principle of the recall
against those who seek to
overthrow it.

SCIENCE CUT COST OF
TANNING LEATHERllN HALF

Offered 100000, which he refused
for a process he has discovered that
is bound 10 cause an upheaval in the
tanning and heavy leather industry
an unassuming and little known Ger
man chemist Of modest means is to-
day going about his daily tasks, in
different 10 the fact that his discovery
is causing uneasiness and alarm among
the masters Of the leather manufac-
turing world.
For many years now the tanners Of
not only the United States but the
world generally have been turning first
in one direction and then in another,
trying to tind new process Of tanning
leather. The tanners are to-day more
uneasy about this matter than ever,
for the reason that hemlock bark upon
which commodity the tanning indus
try depends, is fast becoming scarce.
Now. along comes another chemist,
educated in the German university,
Adam Hoch by name, and living in Red
Bank. n. j., with a process of tanning
that outrivals the Chrome process and
has set all the leather world agasp.
Hoch hasn't anything TO sell the
leather trust or anybody else in the
leather business. He is an expert or
tanning. made so by thirty years close
attention TO that work. More thar
twelve years ago he discovered a pro-
cess Of tanning without hemlock BARI
far cheaper than the present process
Not only that, but by his method hides
are turned into high graed sole anC
belt leather in fourteen DAYS whereas
by any known process today the best
Leather workers can do is to obtain
the same results in seven months. Fur
lthermore. experts admit that the hides
tanned by this German chemist are su-
lperior in quality TO those tanned witt
lhemlock bark and treated for sever
months.
For seven years Hoch has been oper-
ating an experimental plant in the
quiet Of the New Jersey town, perfect.
ing his discovery. His process ha.
been passed upon to the satisfaction
of the Associated Leather Trades o.
New York State. and the leather trus
from time to time have made over.
lures to him TO adopt his process. Blu
this wise German chemist, with tn,
ishrewdness Of his race. has decline,
to enter into any dealings with tn,
lcoinbine. Several months ago an offe
came TO him from that source of 5000
900 and a position for the rest of hi
life, but 1t did not appeal. Lately. /
is understood far more substantial
offer has originated from the sam,
source.
What Hoch's process or method is
re mains a secret with him. All tha
&C. irnor-n about II is the facts that
does not require hemlock bark. tn
most important fact in the tanning
! trade, and the further fact that. owinl
, TO the short period required to trea
a hide. his method will release the vas
sums tied up in hides for seven month.
, while undergoing the process OF bein
made into sole leather and betting.
Hoch has proved in his experiments
, Jersey tannery that with fifty men h
can tan 1000 hides a day, whereas a
] tho present time to accomplish tn
'same result, a force of 600 men ar
necessary.
