Washington Feb, 9.--The Senate to.
day became involved IN a discussion
of the type of canal that should be
constructed at Panama. Kittredge
chairman of the committee on inter
oceanic canals precipitated this de.
bate by bringing in an adverse re-
port on the Hopkins bill authorizing
the secretary Of the treasury to issue
bonds to the eXent of $500,000,000 for
demonstration of the canal Reading
statement of expenditures on the ca
nal up to date, he declared that tha
completion Of the lock canal would
cost $f0.000,G00 and insisted that a
great mistake had been made in not
adhering to the plan for building a
sea level waterway across the 18TH
mus, which he said would be cheaper
than lock canal Foraker and Teller
both joined Kittredge in declaring the
belief that a sea level canal should
be constructed, and Kittredge said

WORST IN TWELVE YEARS.

Sioux City, Iowa, Feb 9-Rivaling
in intensity the worst blizzard of pio.
neer days, the storm which has swept
down from the northwest is at its
height in Sioux City.
Thirteen inches of snow had fallen
UP to seven o'elck tonight, but this
figure gives little idea of the great
drifts which have been piled high on
the streets by the heavy northwest
winds, which at lines reached maxi
mum velocity of fifty-tive miles an
hour.
Cars are stalled in the streets by
huge drifts, being unable to get back
to~the barns after attempting to get
through early in the day.
Tran service from Nebraska an,
South Dakota is cmpletely cut off.
The Milwaukee got train in from the
east tonight, far behind the regular
scheduled time.
Reports from Pierre, Mitchell. Wa
tertown, Huron and Yankton say
that not for twenty years has so much
snow fallen at one time, and report
that the blizzard in general is the
worst in twelve years All freight
and passenger trains are abandoned
or stalled indrfts.

MAYOR OF Los
ANGELES RESIGNS
Harper Quits Office in Vain
Effort to Prevent Recall
Election
Continued from Page 1

up by the Municipal league and petit
tions circulated for the recall of the
mayor, according to- the provisions of
the charter of the city. These petitions
were signed by more than 10000 voters
of the city, and the election was set by
the council for March 20.
Tonight Harper states that his rea-
sons for resigning at this time were Of
private nature and not for publica-
ton He said that the principal rea-
son, however, was to defeat the recall
election and permit the council to
name the mayor for the remainder of
his term
Harper was elected on the demo-
cratic ticket in three cornered con-
test, for a term of three years, and
has served two years and three. months.
His successor will, therefore, have but
nine months to serve
Tonight it is said on authority of
those who have had the recall cam
paign In charge that they are in pos
session of facts in regard to Harper
which made his resignation impera-
tive and that it was the intention to
public these facts unless the mayor re-
signed. 1t is not admitted by these
men that Harpers resignation at this
time nullifies the recall election. They
say that the election will be held and
that the election of Alexander is as
sured
There are many rumors circulating
about the city tonight that the resigna-
tion of Chief of Police Broadhead will
be rendered tomorrow thus compIet-
ing the retirement of the three officials
regarding whom the stories of corrup-
ton in municipal affairs have been
principally directed.
The protection of vice throughout
the city among the saloon keepers and
keepers of restaurants who have LIQUOR
licenses and the demimonde, who have
been driven from their usual haunts
and scattered about the city are among
the more serious charges that have
been made against these officials. and
also there have been charges of graft
in connection with various corporations
of which the mayor is an official. and
the stock of which it is alleged, has
been sold to saloon keepers and keepers
of disreputable places
1t was stated authoritatively by those
who brought about the expose resulting
in the mayors resignation that the
matter was one which concerned Har-
per personally The alleged misconduct
by which he appears to have been
forced to resign was said to have been
in no wise connected with his official
duties as mayor, but was entirely a
personal transgression. This, it is
stated, was what was referred to in
the newspaper publication as "uripub-
lishable," but no details on the subject
We're youchsafed.
A majority of the members of the
city council met tonight and it was de-
cided to name George A Smith, a for
mer councilman and leading republi-
can, as mayor. Although a republican,
Smith has been a personal friend of
both Harper and Kern, and has been
opposed to the recall movement. He is
a wealthy real estate dealer

M'CLOUD IS LIKE
NOTEDOHIOAN
Oakland Police Sergeant
Type of American
Citizen

when he is intent, is singularIy like
Taft's gaze The upper lids are as
heavy as the presidents, and roll into
the nose in the same way. Also. Nc
Cloud is of nearly the same age as
Taft.
REPRESENT TYPE OF AMERICAN
- When Joseph D. Redding, Bohemian
clubman, lawyer and lecturer, pre-
sented Newton T. Tharp, San Fran
cisco's city architect, as the double of
Caius julius Caesar, he found reason
for it. 1t indicated the continuity of
the Aryan blood, he said. In like man
ner, it might be said that Taft and
Sergeant McCloud are Americans; that
their resemblance indicates the evolu-
tion of true American type after a
couple of centuries in the crucible of
the continent-intermarr and COM
mon ideals. The best bloods of the old
world have been fused and produced
William McCloud of California as the
double of Taft of Ohio.
McCloud joined the police force about
the time Taft became a. federal judge.
Since then the policeman has been ad-
vanced few grades and made a ser
geant.< He is detailed at the police
station for desk work, having charge
of the booking room at the city hall
eight hours of each day. He lives at
705 Market street, has family, and
pays his taxes. He is one of the re-
liable and efficient police officers of the
city.

from two jets was not enough to read
by in the early evening.
Mrs. r. S. Guppey, at 427 K street
protested vigorously against the quality
and price of the gas. Il am very eco
nomical with the gas and only use 1t
for a couple of hours in the evening for
light as we retire early. / cook on a
range and only occasionally use the lit
tie gas shelf to cook for two people
vet my bill is never less than $3.50 and
frequently more.
BILL ALWAYS THE SAME
Il have noticed that no matter how
little / use the bill is always the same
Some months I have not used the
gas stand at all and only burned the
lights for an hour or so in the evening
but it made no difference in the bill
have frequently protested to the com
pany and have gone to the office to see
some one in authority. but could get
no satisfaction"
NJ s. Hammer, a hardware dealer al
Ninth avenue and II street, and II. Nc
Farland, at 433 X street, had the same
complaint to make, and both stated
that the service was becoming worse.
O. +. Williams. a hardware mer-
chant at 1924 Ninth avenue, said that
the electric bill at his store was al
"
used for three hours in five burners
was 81 a month. He characterized this
as exhorbitant.
williams said that the company had
taken advantage of the property hold
ers in the Sunset district and that be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh avenues
and NJ and n streets they wanted to
charge 800 to take tfie pipes to one
house.
ITS nothing short of robbery said
Williams II have a lot between l and
J streets, and although there are a
number of other property holders there
willing to have the gas taken to their
houses, the company viii not take the
pipes UP for less than $25 each. When
you consider the price they charge for
the gas itself and the poor quality of
the stuff it seems like a sort of a
holdup The city should take a hand
and regulate the charges and the
service of the corporation"
Many protests have been lodged with
the Sunset Improvement company
which will take the matter up with the
company There are many protests
against a new meter that is being in
stalled in place of the old ones, and 1t
is generally believed that this device
hold UP. One woman at 1927 Ninth
said that an employe of the gas com
pany had told her that the new meter
was "bunko game and that the con-
sumers should not allow the company
to put IT in.
