August one day suggested to his ministers scheme
for relieving his family congestion, and at the
time honoring his old friend of Bayreuth by giving
to the hereditary Prince fair daughter of Saxony
to wife. King August selected one of his daughters
and asked his advisers to take the subject of her
marriage to Fritz Henry under consideration. For

importance that promoted the Kings pleasure and

OFFICIALS CANCEL
PART OF PETITION
DEMAND FOR VOTE ON LIQUOR
ZONE MAY FAIL
Half of Number of Names Signed Are
Not on Register and Some of
the Crculators Lacked
Authority

Unless an extraordinary whirlwind
campaign is made in the next ten days
the petition demanding an initiative
election to extend the wholesale liquor
zone will fail, and the public will not
be called on to expend several thousand
dollars for a special election in the in
terests of a few men who want liquor
permits.
The petition presented to the city
clerk, was checked up yesterday, and it
was found that only little more than
half enough names on it are those of
qualified, registered voters. To make
the petition operative, 4709 signatures
were necessary, and only 2797 qualified
voters were found among the 5000 sub
mitted.
The city clerk began by throwing out
seven sections of the petition. This
was done because the circulators. who
had taken oath to the signatures on
their respective sheets, were not them
selves qualified voters. The circulator
makes oath that he has signed the pc
tition and that the foregoing facts
are true. The foregoing facts are that
1--WE, the undersigned qualified voters OF
the city of Los Angeles, demand etc.
This affidavit invalidated the sections
of the petition to which it was at
Seven Sections Cancelled
When these seven sections were
thrown out only 4501 names were left
on the petition, all told. and had they
all been those of persons qualified to
sign such a document the initiative
would not have been sufficient But the
city clerk declares that in no petition
he has handled for initiative, referen-
DUN or recall has the percentage of
loss been so large.
The law gives the petitioners ten days
in which to amend. Ten days from yes
terday the petitioners must have 1912
signatures of qualified voters to pre-
sent to the city clerk, and it is i'm
probable that this can be done. At the
same percentage of loss displayed in
the first petition about 5000 names
would have to be secured, and this will
be most difficult as most of those who
favor the matter at all have already
signed. 1t required a number of weeks
to get the first 5000 signatures, and I'M
less an extraordinary impetus is given
the matter this week the election will
not occur.
The petition demanded a special cleo
ton, and the friends of consolidation
breathe a little easier because it was
feared that to save expense the liquor
zone question would be submitted at
the same time as the consolidation mat
ter. Many persons who favor CONSOLE
latlon are opposed to an extension of
the zone, and would vote against both
measures in order that no mistake
would be made.
