 ANGELES OFFICE.

 Does So.

Los Angeles. Cal. March 11.-Mayor A. c. Harper resigned tonight. He de- clined to explain his action,
 The hnayor is candidate for re- election at e special election called for March 2S under, the recall clause of the city charter. He had been re- called from office by a petition sign ed ny 10000 voters because of various alterations of misconduct made against him.
 Mayor Harper announced that he would withdraw as candidate Tor recollection. The mayors actions were a surprise, coming In the heat of the campaign.
 Mayor Harper's resignation follows closely that of Edward Kern as a member of the board of public works. Kern's appointment by Mayor Harper was given by the opponents of the mayor as the principal reason for the recall.
 For several months two leading Los Angeles newspapers have been charg- ing that Mayor Harper has permitted vice of all kinds to be protected. In an extra edition of an afternoon pa per there appeared a letter written by the mayor to the manager thereof. It said:
 Tn fuifillment of my obligations en- tered into with you when l promised to withdraw my name from the bal lot in the present recall election when ever you demanded that I should do so. I hereby notify you that in com . pliance with your demand made this day. I have requested the county clerk to withdraw my name from the bal lot"
 In explanation of its demand that the mayor withdraw, the paper asserts that the reasons that 1t has taken this drastic action are unpublishable." and 1t did so after searching the mayors official and private record in order to protect the people of Los Angeles"
 Mayor Harper was elected on the Democratic ticket for a three-year term and he had served two years and three months.

 OF HUNDLEY Alabama Lawyers See
 President. OPPOSITION TO THE JUDGE Appeal for Another Man on the
 Bench. Taft Pr0mises Delegation to WeigA Carefully the Ob3ecttons-My. Underwood in the Party
 st White House.
EXPOSITION TO THE JUDGE
BY ALFRED J. STOPPER.

Washington, March 11.-(Specfal.D-A President Taft gave audience today for nearly one hour to a delegation of ell-known lawyers of Alabama to present further reasons why Oscar R. Hundley should not be retained as Judge of the Northern District.
 Although he has taken no pant in this bitter controversy, Representative Underwood went to tue White House with the visitors and was present throughout the argument.
 The committee which came on to make another protest against Hundley was composed of Walker Percy, ex- Representative Bowie, Capt. Frank White and J. P. Tillman of Birming- ham. and J. Lawrence Cooper of Hunts vile. the latter having been here for a week or more and who several days ago had an interview with Attorney General Wickersham.
 All Of these well known lawyers had something to say to President Taft. and each Is known to have presented exceptionally strong reasons why a new man should be appointed as Judge They went oonfidentialiy over all the points at issue and pictured to the President that there would be a de- plorable condition In the judicial dis trict if Hundley were to be given q permanent appointment.
 The President was informed that the various bar associations would. in thf course of a few days, recommend a lawyer of character and ability. against whom no objection could be raisedv
 The President did not commit him. self one way or the other. though he did say the appointment given Hundley last Saturday was only temporary to fill in the gap and to prevent a lapse when a special term of the court wa1 to be held at Birmingham. He prone tsed to bear in mind all reasons adk vanoed by his callers why HundIe! assuring them that before final actios was taken In the matter he would weigh carefully the arguments sub- mitted and endeavor to settle the cons trovsrsy as soon as possible.
 The Alabamians went from the White House to tho Department of Justice and had a conference with At- torney-General Wiokersham, before whom they laid substantially the sarne facts.
 Mr. wiokersham promised that if he was asked to make Q recommendation in the case he would take into con- sideration the statements of his call- CTS.
 The understanding Is that a deIega ton of Hundieys friends and backere will come to Washington to put in fur ther efforts in his behalf. They have been doing this in quiet way from the very day that Mir. Taft was sworn in. only they have not been much in evidence so far as the public could discover
