HARPER
QUITS UNDER
CHARGES
NEW COMPLICATION IN
LOS ANGELES SCRAP
Executive Facing Recall Re-
signs Rather Than Risk
Chance of Vindication at
Hands of Electors.

Los Angeles. March 11.-Mayor A.
c. Harper rendered his resignation
as mayor tonight. He announced that
he would have no statement for the
press or public tonight.
The mayor has been n candidate
for recollection at a special election
called for March 26, under the recall
act of the city charter. He has been
recalled from office by a petition
signed by ten thousand voters be-
cause of various allegations of mis-
conduct made against him.
Following his resignation Mayor
Harper announced that he would
withdraw as a candidate for. re-elec-
ton. This created even more sur
prise than the resignation. coming as
il did in the heat of the campaign.
1t follows closely the resignation OF
Edward Kern as a member of the
board of public works whose appoint
ment by Mayor Harper was given by
the opponents of the mayor as the
principal reason for the recall.
For several months two of the
leading spape of this city ave
been publishing articles alleging that

all kinds to be protected and that his
own official and private deeds have
not been above reproach.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
by Thomas Lee Woolwin, "A former as
sistant district attorney. to bring be-
fore the grand jury specific charges
Of grating and misconduct against
the mayor.
Following the resignation, which
was presented to the city clerk. there
appeared in an extra edition OF an af-
ternoon newspaper a letter TO the
manager, in which the mayor said.
"In fulfillment Of my obligation en-
tered into with you when | promised
70 withdraw my name from the ballot
in the present recall election when
ever YOU demanded that / should do
so. | hereby notify you that in COM
pliance with your demand made this
DAY. 7 have requested the city clerk to
recall my name from the ballot"
In explanation of its action In max
ing n demand for his withdrawal
upon the mayor. the paper asserts
that " the reasons that II has taken
this drastic action are unpublishable.'

Washington, March 1.-THE Amer
lean Federation of Labor hereafter
may freely refer 10 the boycott
against the Bucks stove n Range
company, of st. Louis. except by in
clusion of the company's name in the
I'VE don't patronize' list.
This, in substance, Of widespread
Importance TO the labor world, to
| manufacturers and to newspapers
generally, is the sweeping decision
handed down by the court of appeals
Of the District of Columbia in the
noted injunction case of the Bucks
stove and Range company against
the American Federation of Labor,
| which has been before the courts of
the District of Columbia for months.
The opinion holds th,t the decree
should be modified to the extent that
there be eliminated a restriction on
the federation and other defendants
from mentioning, writing or refer
ing TO the business of the Buck
company or its customers. other
wise the decree is confirmed. The
court holds that "a combination" and
boycott in furtherance thereof, and
the publication in tho we don't pa
~tronize' list in aid of a boycott, Is
Illegal.
The court held that the defend
ants could not be restrained from all
publications referring to the Buck
stove and Range company. but only
TO such as are made in furtheranee
of an illegal boycott.
In a partial dissenting opinion.
Chief Justice Shepard cook a strong
hand in upholding the freedom of the
press. He says that even assuming
that the publication OF the com
piainant's name in the 1--WE don't pa
| ~tronize column at' '7c Tederationist
was "a step in the formation of a con
spiracy to coercc independent dealers
into refusing TO have further business
relations with the company, Il can
not agree that the publication a be
restrained for that reason. Regard
less Of it's character or purpose the
publication is protected from restraint
in my opinion by the first amendment
of the constitution, which forbids any
law abridging the freedom of he
press.
The chief Justice held that "the
only remedy for libelous or otherwise
malicious. wrongful and injurious
publication is by civil action for
damages II criminal prosecution
There is no power to restrain the pub
lication."
The decision does not settle the APP
peal in contempt proceedings in which
Messrs. Gompers. Morrison and
Mitchell were given Jail sentences.
The case will be heard later by the
appellate court.
The labor leaders clai so 1t il
said, that if the reasoning adopted By
Chief Justice Shepard and Justice
Van Orsdel is followed in the decision
of the contempt proceedings they VIII
be able to upset the findings OF Jus
tice Wright and avoid serving terms
OF imprisonment.

The speedy passage through both

of the bin changing The county seat
Of sierra county from Hillshoro to

county seat fights in earnest. The ST.
ezra county matter has boon kept
very quiet and was done in a speedy

seldom been equalled.
Scarcely had 1t been started before
willard was in the field with a re-
newal of ITS fight of two years ago.

county away from Estancia. The
Willard people are here in force. They
say their own has grown ana pros
pered and that il has demonstrated
it, fitness to be a county seat. that II
offers the advantage Of moro central
location. and that Il has two railroads
which bring 1t into touch with every
section OF the county. The bill in
troduced In the house Wednesday
making the change has strong support
and although the Estancia people and
their friends are making a hard fight
Willard appears TO have it's claims in
much better shape Than two years

The governor has not yet acted on
the matter and Il is extremely i'm

on their way TO the capital. The gov

ers. The bill, while it carries a maxi
mum annual salary of forty-five
hundred dollars for all counties, pass

SCISSORS and %treasurers four per cent
upon licenses issued and collected. In
several of the counties the bill as
amended will make an Increase in the
salaries of these two offices of eight
hundred dollars or more. The opposi-
ton to the bill was led by Mr.. David
son. Of Grant County, who described
in singing terms the system of re-
ducing salaries of county officers at
one session to take effect W years
hence, and then repeating the act
when the two years had passed. Mr.
Davidson said that the great trouble
with many of our counties had been
that the greater portion of the reve-
nue. was paid out / salaries. He
said that il any action was taken,
county salaries should be lowered, and
that the original bill was bad enough
without the addition of the amend
ments allowing the percentage on the
licenses. Mr Davidson moved to Ia
