CHAPTER XIV.

u a y HEN Mrs. Brooks found
AN herself alone in the street
SHE walked along mechan-
ically, stunned by what
bad just occurred Her heart seemed
to be ptessed down. by a weight, and
her breath came painfully through her
contracted throat She could not be-
lieve that what she had gone through
was real. the thing was so mon
strous. SO utterly inconceivable. Her
husband, Joe, for love OF whom she
had given up life Of ease, for whom
she had borne cheerfully the trials Of
poverty, IN whom she had placed her
entire faith. this man. to whom she
had yielded herself trustingly. in
whom, up to that hour, she had be-
lieved as the soul OF honor had stood
exposed as thief and liar.
TO save himself from the impending
punishment Of his dishonesty he wax
willing to trade the honor Of his wife!
To maintain himself In the material
ease that his thievlng had brought
them for few brief weeks he wanted
her TO prostitute herself for money
had entreated and threatened Ia his
efforts to force her 70 do this thingl
And she, driven to desperation. had let
him arrange a rendezvous for her with
Captain williams In the latters rooms!
She stopped and leaned against a
wall for support A violent trembling
had seized her. and the street lights
were whirline abouf her
MY Godr' she groaned. What shall
dor What shall do2'
The TT Of faintness passed on. and
she was able to collect her thoughts
and consider the best course Of action.
When she had undertaken to call on
Captain Williams at that hour it was
with no thought of lending herself to
her husbands hideous plan. In a
vague, hopeless way she had resolved
to beg mercy for him. to see If there
was not some manner in which atone
ment and restitution could be made.
New she was afraid IL she went to
him, how could she approach him
what could she say? What would he
think Of her coming to his rooms. at
night too2 He would think. and under
the circumstances naturally think. only
one thing. And she would be complete
" in the power Of this colossus. this
ogre whom she secretly feared and de-
tested, who 50 often had leered his
unwelcome admiration Of her when she
was powerless 20 resent it,
Her impulse was to turn from the
ordeal and fly from her husband, leav-
ing him to the fate he merited. She
could go to her mothers home and
await her return from the theater. She
would at least find a refuge there But
In the morning would come the public
exposure and disgrace. No; she must
make the effort. whatever the cost,
whatever the sacrifice.

INITIATIVE PETITION
BEARS 5000 NAMES
WILL BE FILED FOR CHECKING
MONDAY
Council Must Submit Measure Pros
posed by Municipal League to
Vote of People in
December

With 5000 signatures attached, the
for the public utilities ordinance will
be filed with the city clerk Monday
morning. The petition will be present.
ed to the council Tuesday and the coun-
Gil will authorize the city clerk to check
it up with the great register. The
council has to do this whether it is
in sympathy with the movement or
not, as the city charter requires 1t.
The petition is probably the cleanest
that has ever been presented on any
subject, and it is not expected the
loss in checking it up with the great
register will be more than per cent
This is due to the fact that all sig
natures are voluntary. No one was
importuned to sign the petition. sew
eraI stations were established along
the business streets and the attention
of voters was called to the fact that
the petition was ready for signatures
So eager was the public to sign the
petition that the 5000 names were Sc
cured in about four and half days.
The petition was also taken to san
Pedro, where numerous signatures
were secured.
The charter requires only about 1900
names to place the ordinance on the
ballot at the general election in De
cember and the city clerk will check
up only the required number.
1t is expected the clerk will be ready
to report the sufficiency of the petition
to the council at the first meeting in
November and then the council must
order the ordinance placed on the
ballot.
1t is probable the council will also
put it's own ordinance, which the
mayor will veto this week, on the
ballot t. determine if the people want
the one submitted to the council by
Dromgold or the one submitted by the
Municipal league. There are many
points of difference in the two ordi
nances, that suggested by the league
having much the wider scope. The
leagues ordinance is in conformity to
the general commission plan provided
by the city charter, but the one passed
by the council is a radical departure.

The board of public works viii rec
ommend to the council Tuesday that
the salary of H. A. Mcdonald, deputy
inspector of public works at San Pedro,
be Increased from $10O to $125 a month.
The boards action was taken on the
recommendation of w. M. Humphreys,
who said that Mcdonald is one of the
hardest worked and most efficient men
in the employ of the city.
Mcdonald is serving as an emer-
gency employe, but there seems to be
no doubt that he will be regularly ap-
pointed as soon as he qualities under
civil service. An examination is to
be held for this position, and if Nc

Tribute to Alexander

Councilman A. j. wallace paid
strong tribute to the ability of George
Alexander and his record as mayor in
addressing the meeting of the Good Gov
ornment organization last night, when he
said:
81 want in justice to him and to my
observation as a councilman to say some
thing about cur mayor. ] must confess
that | was not particularly enthusiastic
about his selection at the start. Not
that did net know him TO be a straight
forward man, 1 did not estimate that he
would make an unusually able man.
had known him and he had my respect.
but must say that 1 did not know him
by half.
''In my official duties 1 have had to
meet the mayor and to note his method
of handling the city's business many
times. George Alexander is no less HON
est than / thought he was. He is not
less familiar with the people and with
public affairs than l had naturally sup
posed. But he is amazingly beyond that
in his ability. He has been maryelously
shrewd, able, clear wiiled, strong minded
far more than l had supposed. This
1 have seen demonstrated many times.
''They talked of him at one time as an
old man. Let me give you some incl
dents applicable to this. Many man
when you are called TO talk with him on
business matters will fail to get down to
the business at once. He will make OBJ
servatiOns about the weather or other
immaterial things. That Is never the
case with the mayor of Los Angeles.
have had him say to me: Wallace, come
in to see me at 10 O'clock. When l
went there was no time lost on anything
but the city's business in question. With
in the first thirty seconds the mayor has
said: Look at this paragraph and he
would canvass It with clearness and
force, showing a close attention to the
city's needs, not in one instance, but in
numbers. When man can do that with
intricate questions, when he can canvass
a problem so quickly and dispose of it,
that man is not old if he is ninety.
I'VE have a man as mayor who gives
all his time to the work, who works all
the time at the job, works eOmpetently,
thOughtfully and clearly, knows the city
and county as few men know them. He
Is the best mayor the city has ever had
81 cannot think for a moment that
the people of the city of Los Angeles,
with the intelligence they possess, can
do anything else than to return George
Alexander Overwhelmingly their
mayor for the next term"
Councilman Wallace's remarks were
frequently interrupted by spontaneous
cheering, and as he closed there was
tremendous outburst demonstrating the
belief of the Good Government organiza-
tion in all he had said regarding Mayor
Alexander

Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-24

The most enthusiastic meeting held
in Los Angeles this year, not except
ing the consolidation ratification fol-
lowing the San Pedro election, was that
of the Good Government organization
held at Symphony han last night. The
main business was consideration of the
report of the committee of eighteen
members appointed to consider the ad-
visibility of selecting a definite list
of councilmen to be voted for They
reported against such move and this
was approved. 1t was the weekly
experience meeting" of the Good
Government organization, but the en-
thusiasm of the delegates and their
conviction that good men would be
chosen at the polls instead of the
rump ticket turned the gathering into
more of a ratification meeting.
Every statement made by speakers a s
to the certainty of election of candi-
dates favorable to the cause was greet
ed by the heartiest sort of cheering.
None of the delegates from precinct
clubs who spoke was at all uncertain
as to the result and more than a ma
jority of those speaking was positive
that twelve to eighteen candidates for
the council who will be selected at the
primary nominating election will be
allied with the Good Government or
ganization.
Mayors Name Cheered
An overwhelming enthusiasm came
with the mention of George Alexander
and the necessity for re-electing him
as mayor. This occurred informally
but all differences of opinion as to
procedure regarding councilmen, which
bobbed up good-naturedly throughout
the meeting, were swept away in a
unanimous demonstration for the
mayor.
"san Pedro is going to give George
Alexander a majority of more than
three to one over all other candidates" !"
said Captain Lewis Hansen, land that's
what you've got to do in your part Of
the city"
Marshall Stimson started the Alexan-
der enthusiasm by short speech.
Zone or two men have said they want
to know what to do; there is one thing
we've got to do" he said There is
one man we can all get behind and
carry through, and that's George Alex
ander You may have your personal
choice for the council, but whenever
you are working for. him at the same
time get behind George Alexander. He
deserves the biggest vote that can be
polled to ratify his selection again as
mayor Of the city"
Report Is independent
The discussion on the committee re-
port which resulted in a refusal to
recommend any special list of men as
Good Government organization candi-
dates for the council was full of a
vigorous independence. The committee
was almost evenly divided, reporting
sgis1ist specific recommendation by a
majority of one vote. The meeting ap-
parentiy was almost equally as well
