MACHINE LEADERS GLOOMY
WHEN RETURNS ARE RECEIVED

for the benefit of the crowd that many
persons left the place doubtful as to
the result. Others were elated, and
were correspOndingly disgruntled when
they emerged on the sidewalk and
learned from the bulletin boards the
actual facts.
Inside the inner office where the chos-
en- few gathered a group of men let
their cigars burn out while they tried
to explain among themselves how it all
happened. Among them were Council
men Yonkin and Lyon, the former hay
ing admitted his defeat early in the
night.
The city central committee members
blamed the executive committee the
latter said the defeat was due to the
campaign committee, the campaign
committee looked askance at the chair
man Of the finance committee, who
continued to dream peacefully, and was,
perhaps, the most contented person in
the room. Then everybody said re-
sponsibility should be placed at the
door of the election day committee
But one man, more sincere than his
fellows, stated the truth when he said,
"The whole fault lays with the voters;
they are tired of present conditions and
they want voice in the affairs of the
city"
on all sides the result was proclaimed
as forerunner of what will happen in
the county campaign in the coming
year. Many persons so closely identi-
fed with the machine that their names
are synonymous to leaders in the or
ganization were not in the least back
ward in predicting a defeat for the ma
chine in the county next year

gloom rested upon the few among the
faithful who remained to hear the last
despairing word from the election that

him on the rump convention tcket
beneath the votes Of the Good Govern
ment organization.
Until long past midnight the crowd
outside the sanctum where choice rev
gathered to bemoan their fate were
supplied with inaccurate figures IN
order that their failing spirits might
he revived The complete returns
showing the gains for Alexander, were
carefully sidetracked. Where pre-
cinct showed a gain for Smith the re-
suit was hastily circulated and posted
in large figures, but even TINS ny
pocrisy was at last discerned when men
began arriving from the city nall ana
Good Government headquarters with
their reports of defeat, and the OWN
ding away of the gathering singly ana
in couples became a stampede.
In the Sanctum set apart FOR a
chosen few Tobe Newman, chairman or

a dilapidated armchair and dreamed OF
what might have been.

bravely as he could. AT midnight ne

HAVE A SORFEIT
LANCASTER "DRYS" ADVOCATE
FIFTH SALOON
Applicant WthdraWs Plea in Favor of
Glendale Only to Be Succeeded
by Another Seeking
License

A peculiar situation prevails at Lam
caster, where aVoWed temperance ad-
Vocates are boosting the establishment
of a fifth saloon, making one grog
shop for each 100 inhabitants, while
their efforts are being contested by the
legally installed dispensers of joy water
already on the ground.
The matter was taken to the board
of supervisors, Monday, when F. Isch
applied for license to conduct
saloon. -Four saloonkeepers manifested
a spirit lacking in comradeship by
fighting the application. claiming there
was TOO much competition in the busi-
ness already. The temperance element
took the opposite view. Lancaster
voted wet" at the election last year,
and they believed the town should be
so overrun with these places that it
would be an object lesson for the
future. Besides, they argued, If four
saloons are good for, a town, five would
be better.
Isch withdrew his application, how
ever, deciding that Glendale held out
better prospects for an additional
saloon. But this did not halt the plan
for an increase at Lancaster A second
application was filed with the board
yesterday by o. F. Goodrich, who is
regarded as one of the leaders in the
anti-saloon fight. Hearing on this APP
,plication was set for 10 o'clock Sep
tember q.

looms, and now they should get a belly

VERNONITE SAYS
FOES CONSPIRED
TO POISON Him
TRUSTEE DERBIN APPEALS TO
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
FOUND IN WATER
AND IN BUTTER
Wealthy Rancher Says Drug Was Also
Placed In the Food of Former
Mining Partner, J. P.
Haskins

Believing himself to be the object of
conspiracy among his enemies and
that they are trying to poison him, P.
]. Derbin member of the board of
trustees of Vernon and wealthy ranch
man of that city, has appealed to the
district attorneys office to make an
investigation and, if possible, locate his
unknown foes. The matter was turned
over by Chief Detective Browne to De-
tective Ramsey, who, for several days,
has been making inquiries and says he
has learned enough to make him feel
assured of ultimate success.
Derbin came to California from Colo
RADIO six years ago. Three years ago he
was Joined by a former mining partner,
j. P. Haskins, who now lives on Der
bins property.
81 suppose l have made some enemies
since coming here" said Derbin, but
I did not think they would go so far as
to poison me or try to direct suspicion
against me by placing poison in Has
kns' food and water"
Poison Found in Food
Haskins, he said, discovered strych-
nine in his butter July 1 and again on
July 16, and a week later the same
poison was found by Derbin in his
drinking water.
"Stories were circulated" said Der
bin, "that l wanted to get rid of Has
kins and 1 believe the poison was put
in his butter in order that L might be
suspected. When that plan failed the
poison was put into my drinking
water"
Samples of the butter and water have
been analyzed at the direction of De-
tective Browne and are said to contain
large quantities of strychnine.
AS further evidence some person
wants him out of the way, Derbln says
rifle bullet whizzed past his head
while he was riding on the outskirts of
Vernon late in July. He offers $500
reward for the identity of his enemy or
enemies, and says he has already spent
more than $1,000 in his efforts to dis
cover them.
