FALL OF MAURA
CAUSES RELIEF
KING ALFONSO WANTED TO
GIVE PARDON TO FERRER
Spain Believes a Period of Internal
tranquility Has Been Ushered
in by Cabinets Resignation

MADRID, Oct. 22.-The fall of Pre-
mier Maura and the Conservative cab
met has produced a feeling of relief
and encouraged the hope period of
internal tranquility has been ush-
cred in.
1t is now an open secret Maura's s
refusal to give King Alfonso an OPP
portunity to pardon Ferrer is regretted
by his majesty.
Most of the Republican senators and
deputies express themselves as salts
fed with the latest turn of events,
particularly as they believe it marks
the end of the clerical influence with
the government. One of these said
today:
"The new cabinet contains elements
openly anti-clerical and thus it be-
comes possible to establish an anti
clerical policy so necessary to Spain"
However, radical members of the
cortes announce an intention to fight
the new ministry because of its al
legged monarchical tendencies.
The Liberal papers are filled today
with rejoicing over what they term the
end of the tyrannical rule Of Maura.
Ell Pals, a Republican organ, demands
the passage of anti-clerical laws sim
liar to those of France.
Announcement was made today of
the appointment of the duke of Covar
as governor of Madrid and Senor
Aguilera as mayor.

PAT M'CARREN
PASSES AWAY
BROOKLYN DEMOCRATIC CHIEF
DIES AT HOSPITAL
Death Was Not Unexpected by Man
Who Had Dominated Empire
State Senate Since
1895

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Patrick H.
McCarren, state senator and Democrat
ic leader of Brooklyn, died at ST. Cath
crimes hospital, Brooklyn, at lis this
morning, never having completely rail-
lied from the effects of an operation
for appendicitis October 13.
His death was not unexpected. The
senator himself realized throughout the
afternoon and the earlier part of the
night that the end was near.
Pat McCarren was for years one of
the leaders of the Democracy in Brook
lyn, and for years was an advocate of
horse racing and of the game that was
played by race track men in the Vicin-
ity of New York city.
He was born in East Cambridge,
Mass, and was taken to Brooklyn when
he was years old. He received his
education in the public schools, and
was member of the assembly in New
York state for three terms. He had
been a state senator since 1895.
One of the pathetic features of Sem
ator McCarren's illness is that his aged
mother was not apprised of his condi-
ton She thinks that the campaign has
kept him from home and Senator Nc
Carren has insisted that she be Kept in
ignorance for fear that the shock would
be too great for her.
Patrick Henry McCarren, by trade a
cooper. by profession a lawyer and by
vocation a politician, was one of the
most picturesque figures in the present
history of Greater New York No
leader was ever more roundly con-
demned, yet at the close of sixty-one
L. = r. I,o
most strongly entrenched leader in New
York state and had welded some in
fuence in national politics.
Elected to Assembly in 1882
In 1882 he was sent to the assembly
and has since served almost continu-
ously in the state legislature. He was
elected to the Senate in 1891, but two
years later was defeated Elected
again in 1895, it was to stay until his
death.
Senator McCarren first became rec
ogniZed as a coming leader in the days
when David B. Hill was at the height
of his power BY 1898 he had become
so well recognized that the Democratic
state committee made him head of the
executive committee. Five years later
he wrested the leadership of Brooklyn
from Hugh Mclaughlin, who had held
1t for forty years.
At the Democratic national conven-
tion which nominated Alton B. Parker,
the task of inducing southern leaders
to remain in line following the arrival
of the famous gold telegram" fell on
McCarren.
McCarren's opposition to the candi-
dacy of w. r. Hearst for governor led
to charges of treason against him and
his delegates were excluded from the
party convention in April, 1908, to
name delegates to the Denver national
convention. Nevertheless he appeared
in Denver. with delegates, who were
again rejected. His downfall was then
confidently predicted, but only last
month he received what he regarded
as final vindication when he won nine
teen of the twenty-three districts of his
borough.

HALF-HUNDRED mer

4 HALF-HUNDRED men, repre-
n senting So per cent of the citrus
IA fruit industry of Los Angeles
county, were virtually told to mind
their own business and figuratiVely
kicked out of the board room by the
Solid Three of the board of supervisors
yesterday when they respectfully pre-
sented a petition for the appointment OF
their choice as county horticultural
commissioner and asked the board to
use their influence in securing the ser
vices of two other men as deputies III
the commissioners office.
Never before so far as known in the
countys history, has body of as rep
resentative men as appeared petore the
board yesterday been subjected TO as
great an insult. Seeking to protect
their great industry they were accused
of playing petty politics, and when they
asked for some assurance that their
wishes would receive some consldera-
tion they were informed that the board
would do as 1t pleased.
Meserve Was Favored
The netition presented to the board
vesterdav favored the appointment of
A. r. Meserve for county horticultural
commissioner, and asked the board TO
recommend to Meserve the appointment
Of Charles e, Bemis and S. Strong as
his deputies. Behind this petition were
five fruit exchanges, including eighteen
organizations of fruit growers IN an
ferent parts of the county The petit
tion reads as follows:
'The undersigned citrus fruit eX-
changes and associations of Los Ange-
les county by their respective officers or

lection of the men they decided were
best qualified to care for their inter-
ests.
Fred j. Smith acted as spokesman for
his fellow committeeman, pleading with
the supervisors to consider only the
advance of the fruit industry and not
let politics influence them in their Sc
lection.
Mr.. Smith introduced Gen. S. p. Jen-
nison of Covina, who also asked the
members of the board to discard poll
tics for once.
"The change will be in line with
policy of reform" he said, adding: You
would do more service for the Repuoll-
can party by appointing even Demo-
crat to office if that man was the best
man for the place.
1.-THE same interests are before you
that asked congress to protect their in
dustry Will you not do as much for
us as Massachusetts, Minnesota, Penn
sylvania and other eastern states?"
Eldridge at Bat Again
Before General Jennison could re-
sumo his seat Tus Eldridge was on ms
feet. 1.-The board has kept faith WIN
the growers associations. The board
asked them whom they wanted loi
commissioner, and they have told us
They want us to eliminate politics, but
they are playing politics themselves
when they want to name the men lot
deputies
Then he moved the matter be taken
under advisement, which was equlVa-
lent to telling the growers the board
would do as 1t saw fit
Supervisor Pridham strongly pro-
tested against this action. The matter
should be disposed of at once, he said,
land I make motion to go ahead
and appoint commissioner" He was
seconded by Supervisor Manning, but
to no avail, Chairman Nellis stating
the motion was out of order
Mr.. Smith again protested.
1--WE are asking nothing more than
the appointment of Mr., Meserve," he
said. ''As to Mr.. Benlis and Mr.
Strong, we simply ask you to indorse
them. We cannot understand why you
can't meet this question courageously
and not in some secret session"
NelIs Lends Hand
"Why should we decide it today?"
bluntly demanded Nellis.

interests of the fruit growers are at
stake" was the response. why
