became worse at nightfalI, and about
two and a half inches of snow fell "A
high northerly wind arose and con-
tinued throughout the night, but the
snow was so damp and sticky that it

CHARGE is GRAND LARCENY
Andrew Layton Under Arrest; Hearing
on April 10, A. M.

Yesterday afternoon Albert Beedorn
got out "a warrant for the arrest of
Andrew Layton OH the charge of grand
larceny i'll the first degree, alleging
the theft of $1,000 in certificates of
deposit and $lS in currency, at the
city Hotel night before last. Layton
could not be found last evening, but
was found in a saloon this forenoon
by Chief Osten and Deputy Sheriff
klughertz, and the latter served the
warrant upon him.
Later in the day, Layton was ar
raigned before Judge Comstock, and
desired an examination, and this was
set for April l6 at a. M, and he
was held without bail.
Layton claims that he is not guilty,
and that he cannot be convicted He

with Bleedorn, and says that during
the excitement at the City Hotel

time he has unloaded coal on one oc-

OFFICER SIMMONDS TO RESIGN
Will Return to His Former Occupa-
tion of Moving Houses.

Officer Simmonds will present his
resignation to Mayor Andrews and the
council this evening, to take effect
Saturday. He has decided to resume
his business of house mover, in part
nership with Mr.. Flemming, and has
considerable work ahead. He will start
! Monday to move house in Dukes,
addition, and also has job at Blue
Earth.
MIR. Simmonds has made one OF the
best men OH the police force, and mis-
resignation will cause general regret
for his friends had expected that he
would serve another two years, at
least. He has been faithful, conscien-
tious. and unhinching in the discharge
of his duties. The salary at present
paid to policemen in Mankato is not
sufficient to induce men like Mr.. Sim
mands to remain on the force.

Even the noise of Roosevelts send
off has been forgotten in the roar of
dynamite from the explosion of the
Hoboken viaduct which is still ring
ing in the ears of New Workers TODAY.
If an earthquake or volcanic eruption
had struck Manhattan Island, it could
have caused scarcely less commotion
than did the report of this accidental
blast as it doomed out in the dead
of night. Not since the explosion of
the Tarrant drug house has New York
city experienced as startling sound.
Millions of windows were slammed
open, and from the stiffness of night
the city iii few moments began to
buzz as it does at midday Accidents
OF this sort are rare on this island.
though enough explosives are stored
III scores of cellars and lofts of the
Wholesale district to blow the town
to atoms. Everyone is hoping that
the scare will teach lesson to the
citys careless inspectors.
Eager For Fight.
More New Workers are mad for the
excitement of the prize ring today
than ever fiocked to the fights when
this game was leeitimatzed here
.abouts ten years ago. To see the
polite little bouts HAichs crafty pro-
motors are now holdmg before dozen
gllded clubs. thousands of fight fans
are beginning to pay heavy prices and
cry in vain for real action. The BIG
negro johnson is today drawing crowds
OF white men each night simply to
watch him punch the bag at music
hall. This general mania for the sights
and sounds of the pueilistic ring is
being made much of by the sporting
gentry and theatrical managers of this
city, and no one would be surprised
to see efforts made to again turn Man
haitian into an island of prize fights.

The municipal election yesterday did
not result in many surprises to those
who have kept close watch of events
but nevertheless there were individual
disappointments and heart burnings
such as are inseparable from political
contests. Whether the choice of the
voters was wisely bestowed in every
instance will remain to be seen by the
experience of the next two years.
Defeat of Scherer.
The defeat of A. H. Scherer was
forcshadowed when the democrats put
I'D no candidates for aldermen in the
fourth and fifth wards, for this pre-
vented local contests to bring out a
full vote, as was the case in the other
wards. The fourth and fifth wards
are the strong republican wards, and
without their assistance, it is almost
out of the question to elect re-
publican. Then, again, Mr.. Scherer
was tied down by his work in the
city recorders office, and did not have
G.. Krost, the successful candidate,
was not hampered in this respect
Mr. Scherer has fulfilled the duties of
the office accurately and intelligently
although coming into the office per-
feet stranger to it's duties few weeks
ago, under circumstances that required
the exercise of tact and delicacy. His
friends felt that he was entitled to an
election, but Mr.. Krost piled up such
large majority that it is apparent
that even the fourth and fifth wards
could not have saved Mr. Scherer from
defeat
Dieke Close to Election.
Ben Dieke came very close to an
election i'll the first ward, but in the
second Alderman Mahowald went in
by good sized majority, although c.
normal democratic vote there and made
large gains. In the third ward Martin
Wiltgen was chosen, and in the sixth
Aid Eichstaedt was reelected The
council will stand three republicans
and three democrats, and with the
republican mayor the election of a
republican city attorney and repub-
lcan assessor by this council ought
to be assured.
\. G. Meyer was elected mayor with
out opposition, and d. c.. Davies city
treasurer, as well as George Pass and
Peter Lloyd aldermen.
The vote for the various candidates
was as follows:

HERALD LED PAPERS
THAT MADE EARNEST
CAMPAIGN FOR UNION
e. d. SEWARD, San Pedro

AS secretary of the consolidation
committee of this city, I have followed
with great interest the special ten ar
ticles on San Pedro harbor as written
by T. r. Gibbon in the Los Angeles
Herald.
Their effect on the voters of this city
in giving them an insight into the true
conditions of the history of this har-
Dor, it's present and future possible
ties, cannot be estimated, The placing
of the paper in the homes of every
voter here was magnificent idea, and
the result of the election yesterday is
undoubtedly due to the education of
the voters by means of newspapers,
dodgers, public meetings and syste-
matte personal work by our loyal com
mittee and the many friends of con-
solidation here.
The work by the newspapers was
led by The Herald, which, for the past
year, has devoted more space to the
consolidation and harbor questions
than any other paper in Los Angeles.
Much credit is given The Herald by
our citizens, who believe in good gov
ernment and the protection of the
rights of the people.
