Los Angeles awoke today to the most
remarkable situation in its political his

in the hands OF the city council, forced TO
that course by the published threats Of
exposure Of his official and personal
record; with special election but fort

arising upon every side casting doubt
upon further procedure. the situation pre-
sented was one OF complexity and con-
fusion.

day other designations would follow. An
lice Thomas III. Broadhead would send

least one member Of the police commits

tender their designations.
These designations. together with that

member Of the board Of public works. are
stiil hedsed about with Wuch mystery.
Published statements today speak broadly
OF the discovery of fntolerable conditions

George Alexander, candidate of the re-
call element, stands practically unop-

small voting strength.

Mayor Harper today contends that the
Of the mayor vitiates the re-
call election, as there is no mayor to re-
call. The supporters Of Alexander and
the recall movement say the resignation
OF the mayor in no wise affects the recall
and that Alexander will be
chosen mayor March q.
The city attorneys office asserts that
the recall election must proceed and that
the result will decide who is mayor

said Grant, 'savc the usual ones

Across the lagoon the lights of
Venice shone; Venice, which in her
day had seen so much of mans
quest and toll for wealth, so many
cruel and evil things done in the
pursuit of riches, and, with the
lapse of time, had seen all that
piled-up wealth decay. And the
thought of that helped her. Her
courage grew. Her instinct for
what was good in life was true and
wholesome. She saw that Mammon
brings no man or woman satisfac-
ton at the last.
The gondola had turned, and they
we're going back towards Venice
now, and still she delayed her an
swer.
But presently she put her hand
in Grants.
"Help me to escape" she whis-

And Grant kept her hand where
she had put it.
