SOCIALISTS GIVE THEIR
CHAMPION WARM GREETING
Speakers at Peoples Theater Find
Nothing to Critieise in George
Alexander's Record

That George Alexander was capa-
BILE man to take up the reins of gov
eminent of the city of Los Angeles
and that his record was one that must
command respect was all that the
Socialist speakers had to offer against
George Alexander at rally last night
in the Peoples theater. 523 South Main
street, held in the interests of Fred c.
Wheeler, the Socialist candidate for
mayor at the recall election next Fri
day.
There was a large attendance, and
in the audience were noticed many VINO
have not previously been Identified
with with the Socialist cause, but at
tended out of curiosity to see on just
what platform the Socialist candidate
was running.
Job Hartman, A. r. Holston and
Fred C. Wheeler were the speakers OF
the evening.
Mr.. Holston dwelt on the point that
the recall action was placed in the
charter through the efforts of the So
cialist party and that this party had
been denied the credit which was now
being usurped by other powers.
Mr.. Wheeler, who was introduced as
the next mayor of Los Angeles, devot-
ed most of his time to telling his au-
dience what he had accomplished for
the workingman and the trades unions.
He described his life in Los Angeles
and his twenty-five years of service in
promoting the cause of Socialism.
While denying that he possessed any
egotism, his speech teemed with what
he had achieved without recompense
for the working people of Los Angeles,
and every sentence was uShered in with
the letter 81"
Vigorous applause greeted the speak
er, and when he pictured himself as
the imaginary mayor and told what
changes he would effect. what graft he
would suppress and how he would
toost Los Angeles, his listeners rose
and gave three hearty cheers for the
champion of the working class.
Mr.. Hartman spoke in a similar
vein and detailed the fight in which.
as he claimed. the Socialists had
caused the recall to be inserted in the
city charter. Although not admitting
that the Socialist candidate for mayor
would be defeated, Mr.. Hartman stat
ed that it would be better to go down
to honorable defeat without having
made promises that could not be con-
scientiously fulfilled.
All the speakers had only words of
praise for George Alexander. and in
discussing the issues of the cam
paign prefaced their remarks by saying
that they were not talking against Mr..
Alexander as an individual but as u
representative of party, and as the
Socialist party was the only one that
could redeem Los Angeles from its
present predicament Mr.. Alexander
must necessarily be second preference
to it's candidate.

LAST SHIPMENT OF
OPIUM is UNLOADED
Final Legal Importation of Drug,
Valued at $75o,ooo, May Mark
an Early Renewal of
Smuggling

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.-Tht
last shipment of opium that will enter
the United States with the knowledge
and sanction of the federal government
was unloaded from the Orient on the
steamer China today. 1t consists of Al;
tins of the producing drug, val
ued at $750,000.
Within a few days. and before the
next liner arrives from the far east
the new law by the te; ms of which the
importation of opium in it's compare
lively refineu form is absolutely pro-
hibited, will go into effect
1t will be a sad day in the Chinese
quater and in all probability 1t viii
mean also the beginning of a season
of greater activity for customs Off
Gals, as the days of opium smuggling
are likely to come again.

BOSS PARKER
is SUNNI ONED
BY GRAND JURY
HAS LONG INTERVIEW WITH
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
scHENcK AND SAVAGE EXPECTED
TO TESTIFY TODAY
Joseph Durand Refuses to Answer
Questions and Is Committed to
Jail for Contempt of
Court

wv ALTER PARKER, head OF the
Nv machine which for many years
w has dominated the political des-
tinies of Los Angeles, according 10 DIS
trict Attorney Fredericks, VIII pe
called as a witness before the graLu
Jury either today or later in the Weeh'
Parker was a visitor at the district at
tnrnav,s office Yesterday and remained
seated in the corridor for half an hour'
awaiting the adjournment of the IN
vestigating body. For two days the
grand Jury has been holding sessions In
the private office of Mr.. Frederlcks.
Following the departure of the Jurors
Mr.. Parker was closeted for some time
with the district attorney and Deputy
Nv. !. Ford in the latter's office. Be
fore entering Mr.. Fords office the d1s-
trict attorney stated that Mr.. Parker
had been served with subpoena ana
would be required to appear before the
Jury as a witness.
Earl Again Sole Witness
Edwin T. Earl was again the only
witness yesterday, remaining In the
Jury room throughout the day.
'slThey say they are through with me
for the time being at least, said MT
Earl as he left the International Bank
building.
h
noon to be called as witness ana
probably will be called some time to-
day. Tom Savage is also expected to
testify today.
No further news regarding the
whereabouts of Nick Oswald, former
ruler of the tenderloin, or his asso-
ciate William Lawrence Vetter, was
received yesterday, and the officers to
whom has been assigned the duty or
bringing Oswald to Los Angeles appear
to be playing a waiting game.
Durand viii Not Answer
Joseph Durand who refused to
answer questions in the jury room
Friday, was before Judge James on
contempt proceedings yesterday. His
attorney, Fred Thompson, again con-
tended that the questions contained IN
Foreman Fishburn's affidavit were i'm
material and that his client acted with
in his rights when he refused to make
replies. The danger that Durand
might incriminate himself by answer
ing the questions was also advanced
by Mr.. Thompson as an argument in
support of Durand's position.
Judge James decided that the ques-
tons appeared pertinent and material
and that Durand must answer them.
Durand was committed to Jail for con-
tempt and ordered kept. in custody
until he agreed to make the desired
responses. Durand will have an OPP
portunity to answer the questions to-
day, as he will be called by the grand
jury as it's first witness.
RumorS were plentiful about the
court house and district attorneys Of
flee yesterday that further indictments
would be handed in by the grand jury.

MERGER OF SUNSET AND
HOME COMPANIES RUM0RED

San Francisco was Interested yes
terday in a rumor that IA general con-
solicitation had been effected between
the Pacific States and the Home Tele-
phone interests, including Los Angeles
as we'll as other California points. The
statement was not credited here, al
though, it is said, the Bell interests
have been anxious for a merger, for it
is known that the Home company's
franchise is so drawn as to prevent
any such combination Unless the
prohibitive clause could be knocked
out legally the company would lose it's
franchise by signing such an agree
ment.
Owing to recent movements of the
interests behind the Home company in
San Francisco this is not considered
improbable in the bay cities, but Los
Angeles is not concerned A promi-
nent telephone official said recently
that all operations at San Francisco
were up in the air." intimating that
a change was taking place there.
The rumor is supposed, by those who
follow telephone matters closely, to be
inspired by telephone merger plans in
the east which have occasioned q rapid
rise in telephone bonds. Western tee-
phone securities have been marketed
lately in large amounts in New York.
and this has added strength to the
rumOrS.
