SOUTHERN CLUBWOMEN
SEEK STATE PRESIDENCY
Plan Campaign to Elect Mrs.
Russell j. Waters
| Special Disp0ich 10 The Cain

Los ANGELES. Nov. 16.-Delegates
to the annual convention of the Los
Angeles District Federation of Women's
Clubs, now in convention at Pasadena,
were practically unanimous in pledg
ing themselves yesterday to the cam
paign OF securing the presidency of the
state federation for Mrs. Russell j.
Waters.
Clubwomen of southern California
frequently have expressed resentment
at what they term the domination of
the federation affairs by the northern
members, and Mrs. Waters campaign
has crYstallized into an aggressive ef-
fort to break the power of the northern
women. The announcement was made
yesterday that Mrs. Waters had refused
TO serve another year as president of
the Los Angeles district federation.
and this was taken as tacit admission
on her part that she would be can
didate for the higher office. Mrs.
Waters has a strong following, not
only among Los Angeles clubwomen,
but among those of San Francisco.
AT the meeting of the presidents
council this afternoon plans were out
lined for an aggressive campaign
gainst the sale of adulterated food
and impure milk.

BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua. Nov. 16
(by wireless via Colon) The provi-

American interests are fully protected.
Zelaya's troops still hold Greytown,
but General Chamorro, with large

He is also guarding the San Juan
river to prevent government troops

Prisoners in the hands of General

jungles. There are no signs of the

APPEAL TO PEOPLE
Opposition Leader in Lords Noti=
fies Premier Finance Meas
ure Is Doomed

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The terms of
Lord Lansdowne's motion to reject the
budget of which he gave formal notice
in the house of lords today. were COM
municated 10 Premier Asquith and dis
cussed by the cabinet council. Union
lists anticipate that 500 peers will sup
port Lord Lansdowne, while supporters
of the government in the house of lords
number only 40.
On the rejection of the budget it is
expected that the premier will move in
the house of commons a resolution
condemning the peers action, affirming
the sole right of the commons TO deal
with matters of taxation and declaring
the peers attempt to force dissolu-
tion unconstitutional.
Lord Lansdowne's action will be con-
Sidered Monday. IT reads:
II move that this house is not justi-
fed in giving its consent to this bill un-
til it has been submitted to the judg
ment of the country"
This undoubtedly seals the fate of
the financial bill and assures a general
election in January.

PAPERS GRILL PEERS

Liberal newspapers describe Lord

The Daily Chronicle says:
The lords have chosen the way of
destruction. 1t is as though some
malign influence has set at work to
bring the house of lords before the
peoples gaze, with all its imperfections
on it's head. Bold and unashamed it is
standing forth as the selfish defender
of privileges in land and liquor and the
champion of taxation on food. A more
shameful conspiracy against the COM
monwealth has never been unmasked."

WILL NOT Be DENIED
STICKS TO STATEMENT AS TO

Prosecution Rests Its Case-FormeT
Banker Expected to Introduce
Witnesses When Trial Is
Resumed Today

William H. Carlson banker and pro-
moter, charged with making a false
entry Of $4,000 on the books of the Con-
solidated bank in December 1907, failed
to break down the testimony of Miss
Ida McKittrick while cross eXamining
the former cashier of the bank at the
resumption of the preliminary hearing
in Justice Stephens court yesterday.
Miss McEittrick reiterated firmly
that an overdrawing of the account of
one of Carlsons investment companies
was covered by a $4,000 draft on the
Ralston Realty company and that this
demand was not forwarded for collec-
tion to San Diego until May of last
year.
Carlson asked the witness if he did
not, in May, offer to give a check for
$4,000 to the bank to take up the draft,
but to this Miss McKittrick replied with
a decided negative. you replaced the
Ralston draft with another drawn on
William Graves of New Jersey" she
said.
The prosecution, in charge of w. ].
Ford, deputy district attorney, rested
it's case yesterday. The examination
will be resumed at 2 o'clock today,

AGAIN ATTACKS
SCHOOL BONDS
SECOND SUIT is BEGUN TO
STOP THEIR ISSUE
TEMPORARY ORDER GRANTED BY,
JUDGE JAMES
Board of Supervisors Likely to Re.
ceive Bids Today, but Will Not
Be Able to Accept
Them

Another suit to prevent. if possible,
the carrying out of the wishes of Los
Angeles citizens, as expressed in the
school bond election in January, was
filed in the superior court yesterday.
The action seeks to restrain the board
of supervisors from accepting bids for
the, $3.50, 0C0 issue of Los Angeles high
school bonds. the plaintiff, I. j.
Spencer, being the same who began in
junction proceedings last Thursday in
an effort to stop the issue of the $780,
900 common school bonds.
An order temporarily restraining the
board of supervisors from accepting
bids for either issue of the bonds was
made by Presiding Judge James of the
superior court yesterday afternoon on
the application of Hiatt e. Selby, at
torneys representing Spencer, who, it
is believed, is acting for interests OPP
posed to the bond issue and the in
crease in school facilities, so badly
needed by Los Angeles school children
This order is made returnable at 10
o'clock Friday, when the defendants,
the supervisors and members of the
board of education, are expected to
appear in Judge Hutton's court to
show cause why a permanent IN
junction should not issue and the bond
sale be made impossible.
Urges New Contention
In addition to the reasons contained
in the Injunction suit filed last week,
the complaint in the high school bonds
case attacks the existence of the Los
Angeles high school district, claiming
no such district was ever organized by
a vote of electors.
Two o'clock today is the time set for
the receiving and acceptance Of bids
on the school bonds by the board Of
Supervisors. While bids may be re-
ceived. it will be impossible, owing to
the action of the court in issuing the
temporary restraining order yesterday,
to accept any of them.

Many of these have been sentenced

having found that sending a drunken

to prove and test the Golden Rule.
Finally. the great problem of the

beautiful autos, princely palaces for the

and a cheaper portable tenement for
