to another until he became chairman
of the committee On ways and means
and then speaker.
We claim that he is a practical re-
former, and not a rainbow chaser, and
that his name and influence are con-
nected with all the principal reform
measures that have been enacted dur
ing the past eight years, including the
anti-race track law and the direct pri-
mary act.
He is a good fnancier and publicist.
Mr.. Stanton is the author of the pres
ent California banking law, which is
recognized by bankers as one of the
best in operation in the United States.
His experience in state affairs is very
valuable to the people, being founded
on the making of the laws which ex-
ecutive officers, like the secretary OF
state, must execute.

HOLD ENGLISHMAN FOR
THREATENING GEORGE v.
Declares Intention of Public At
tack in Letter

LONDON, Aug. 6.-John Symes, de-
scribed as having no occupation and
living in Chapter street, Westminster,
was charged before Sir Albert de Rut-
zen at Bow street police court this
week with addressing to Mr.. Asquith
a letter containing a threat to make
an attack in public on the person of
King George.
Mr.. Bodkin, who prosecuted, said the
defendant was for years a member of
the metropolitan police force and held
the rank of inspector when he was dis
missed few months ago. On the 9th
threatening letter which necesstated
proceedings. He said in the letter that
he was not given to idle words and
had for some months past been con-
sidering his course of action. Having
thus described himself, he said he
might be compelled to make an attack
on some public occasion, even on the
person of the king.
In reply to the magistrate the de-
fendant said he had no intention Of
injuring the king. His sole desire was
to bring his case before the public.
For eleven months he had been trying
in vain to obtain justice. Several
members of parliament admitted that
he had been unjustly treated by the
police authorities, hut not one of them
would put a question in the house of
commons on his behalf.
Sir Albert de Rutzen told the de-
fendant that he must enter into his
own recognizance in $500 to appear at
the court on October IA.

LAUGH At USE OF
CHARLTON'S PLEA
Italian Murderer to Be Sent Back
to His Country for Pun
iShment

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-That an Ital-
ian wanted in Italy for murder can
not escape extradition on the same
technical grounds advanced by the
lawyers of Porter Charlton, the Amer
lean who, it is alleged, slew his wife
in Italy, was clearly demonstrated
yesterday, when Salvatore Guida, 90
years old, was arrested at his home,
1856 Cherry street, on a charge of muir
dering Mauro Lombardo in Cerda,
Italy, on September 26, 1908. When he
advanced Charlton's plea in order to
be set free the police laughed at him.
Guida was convicted of the alleged
crime in his absence and sentenced to
twenty years Imprisonment. AS few
assassins live more than ten years in
italian prisons, Guida regards his sem
tence virtually as condemnation to
death, and he purposes to resist his
eXtradition, which is requested by the
Italian government.
New York police officials assert that
the circumstances are in nowise SIM
liar to the facts in t. Charlton case,
and that there is no hope for Guida
to escape extradition. They point out
that Guida is not citizen of the
United States, but a subject of the
king of Italy and a fugitive from JUS
tice.
1t is charged by the Italian author
tiles that Guida and Lombardo quar-
relied over money matters and that
after a quarrel between the two men
Lombardo's body was found with a
stiletto in the breast. 1t is said that
certain witnesses established his con-
nection with the crime.
He was traced II New York, where
he has worked as a laborer.

two rounds, Johnson is a big black

time at Bostock's arena at Dreamland.
They do a friendly wrestling match for

sugar. She had been so pleased at the
wrestling spectacle of the bears that
she threw in the piece of maple sugar
between the two big fellows
Jeff fell on the candy johnson
brought over a fierce wallop, and Jeff
went down for the count of seven. He
arose groggy. Johnson thought the
purse already won and started to
MUNICH it, But here was a Jeff who
could "come back" He landed two
right swings forcing Johnson into a
clinch; then brought in two hard leg
.uppercuts and finally put over a hay
maker" that sent the big black fellow
down to defeat. The sugar that had
been sent to the back of the cage went
to jeff Johnson moaned as he saw
his victorious opponent lick the very

UNCLE SAM HANGS OUT WORD
Wants Settlers on Farms Await

Irrigation Projects
UNCLE SAM HANGS OUT WORD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. g.
'Wanted-Five hundred farmers" This
is the notice that Uncle Sam has hung
outside the official front door in WASH
ington. Any man who wants to take
up practical farming and answers the
advertisement may have the land free.
The government now has about five
hundred farms awaiting settlement
under the various irrigation projects
in the northwest. These farms vary
in size from 20 to 80 acres of irrigable
land depending upon location. In many
sections a tract of grazing land has
been included in the farm unit, bring
ing the total up to 100 acres.
There is no drawing or any element
of chance in applying for one of these
farms. 1t is only necessary to make
a. homestead entry at the land office.
The farms are for bona flde homeseek-
ers who are entitled to make a home
stead entry, the only charges, besides
a land office fee for filing, being the
actual cost of getting water to the land.
Payments may be made in ten annual
installments without interest. The Of
fetal circular says:

area of unoccupied public domain op-
portunities to secure desirable farm

it is doubtful whether the present fa-
vorable conditions will ever occur
again.
"rhe farms now awaiting settlement
include wide variety of soil and cli-
mate. If you desire to engage in gem
eral farming or to specialize in the
growing of apples, alfalfa, sugar beets,
garden truck, stock raising, dairying,

RELIGIONS ARE MIXED
IN TWO ELOPEMENTS

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 6.-Two ro-
mantle elopements were brought to
light today. In one the bride was a
Jewess and the bridegroom d Chris
tian, while in the other conditions
were reversed. Miss Ruth Samuels,
the Jewess, became Mrs. Herman Nor
wood despite the opposition of her
mother. Coatless and wearing a pink
morning wrapper, she was borne away
ried her to the parsonage of the Wal
brook Methodist Episcopal church,
where the two were united by the Rev.
John r. Edwards.
Hugo Steiner told his friends that
he was going for quiet vacation trip
to Nova Scotia, but he did not tell
them that he was first going to Wilkes
Barre, Pa, with Miss Sophia Landon,
there to have the wedding knot tied
by Justice of the Peace Landon. This
the friends of the pair learned today.

WIDOW MAKES CAREFUL
PLANS FOR SUICIDE

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.--Mrs. Pauline
f. Dastler, widow of DR.. Franz Das-
tier. once a we'll known New York
physician, committed suicide in her
apartments by inhaling gas. Failing
health and loneliness in her advancing
years are supposed to have been the
cause. She was 81 years old.
1t was evident that Mrs. DastIer had
laid careful plans. All the silver in her
apartments, articles of jewelry and
many trinkets were marked with cards
reading ITO my sister," "To my SON
in-law" and to various friends by
name. This note, without address, was
lying open on the bureau; May God
and all belonging to me forgive me for

Delaware Girl Falls in Fit After
Eating Chocolate
Candy

LAUREL, Del, Aug. 6.-Miss Loleta
Tumey, aged 20, the belle of Blades, a
Broad creek village six miles from
here, fell in commissions, apparently
caused by strychnine supposed to have
been administered in chocolate candy
given her by man admirer who feared
a rival would get her. DR.. Andrews j.
Fleetwood of this city was telephoned
for at noon. When he reached the
Tumey home he found the girl in vio-
lent fits and held by four men.
After using a stomach pump and ad-
ministering medicine, Miss Tumey re-
gained consciousness long enough to
say that friend had given her candy,
of which she ate three small pieces
and had bitten the fourth when she
began to feel i'll. She soon again went
into convulsions.

of candy for analysis and Coroner Grif-
fifth has begun an investigation.

blymen. Necessarily with the rhenom-
enally rapid growth of Southern Cali
fornia the redistricting should result in
a greatly increased representation in
the legislature from this part of the
state.
On the basis of the census of 1900
our representation is now numerically
weak in the legislature, we having but
9 senators, from Santa Barbara to the
Mexican line, as against 81 north of
Tehachapi, and but 16 assemblymen as
against 64 in the north, and in secur-
ing a just apportionment of senators
and assemblymen under the new GEN.

ing of the Governor, who may veto any
bill that fails to meet with his ideas of

DAWN OF GOLD FIESTA
WILL ATTRACT CROWDS
Sacramento Prepares to Enter
tain 100000 Visitors

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 6.-Secretary
Filcher of the California State Agrlcul-
tural society is being overwhelmed
with applications for space for eX-
hibits at the state fair. So great is
the demand that the directors are pre-
pairing EXTENSIVE additions to the pres
ent accommodations at the fair grounds
to afford exhibitors an opportunity to
display their wares and products.
The magnificent program of the
Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold, which has
been arranged for the entertainment of
visitors, is undoubtedly largely re-
sponsible for the extraordinary interest
that has been aroused in the coming
fair, not only in California but all
over the Pacific coast.
That Sacramento will be called upon
to care for a vast number of visitors
during the eight days of the fair is
further indicated by the hundreds OF
letters that are being received daily
by the leading hotels asking for reser-
Vations during that period.
The fiesta committee has estimated
that there will be at least 100000
strangers in Sacramento during the
fiesta, and it now looks as though this
estimate would fall far below the
actual number. At meeting of the
fiesta committee a subcommittee was
appointed to make all necessary ar
rangements for the housing and feed
ing of the expected throngs. An in
formation bureau will be established at
once, and a list of all the hotels and
lodging houses will be made to facili-
tate this work.
The question of transportation is also
receiving attention. The local street
railway companies are laying new
tracks and preparing the roadbeds in
preparation for the increased traffic,
and it is probable that their equipment
will be augmented by bringing a large
number of cars from other points. The
new automobile road to Agricultural
park will be completed before Septem-

FLAMES FROM A CANDLE
ENDANGER WOMAN'S CORPSE
Friend Who Tried to Kiss Dead
Causes Fire

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.-Lying in
her coffin, awaiting burial, the body
of Mrs. Catherine Flynn, who died at
the age of so, narrowly escaped Gre
nation as it rested in the parlor of
her home in Germantown.
AS an old friend leaned over to kiss
the corpse, she accidentally Knocked
over a candle. The flame communi-
Gated to a lace curtain and other dra-
peries near the coffin and Immediately
there was a panic among the mourn
ers. Women rushed to the door to
escape and became jammed in the pas
sageWay, while two jumped out of the
window. They were unhurt.
In the meantime, Thomas Bradford
and John HolloWel, neighbors who
were present, brushed aside the burn
ing draperies and carried the coffin
into the Kitchen sustaining burns of
the hanGs and face by so doing, but
saving the body from harm. Their
injuries were treated at a nearby drug
store.

COAL OUTPUT DECREASES
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug g.
Consul Frank c. Denison of Fernie, in
his annual report, states that during
1909 there was decrease of about
100000 tons in the output of the coal
mines of that Canadian district, as
compared with 1908. caused by the sus-
pension of operations in the Crows
Nest district during April, May and
June, owing to disagreement between
the owners and miners. The total out
put in 1909 was about 1,750000 tons.
The output at the F'ernie and Michel
mines now averages about 5000 tons

THE EQUALIZATION DIS
TRICTS

The matter of redistricting is made
even more pointed by glance at the
equalization districts as now constitut-
ed. Our weakness was illustrated to
our cost last year when the assess
ments of Ventura county were doubled
by the board of equalization; those OF
Los Angeles county were increased 40
per cent and other southern counties
were advanced by the state board OF
equalization, as we think, unreason-
ably. In equity the territory covered
by the Fourth district should embrace

REDISTRICTING THE LEG
STATURE

Within the term of the next Governor
the state will be redistricted as to as
sembly, senatorial and congressional
districts, and Gf Stanton is GovernoD
as to equalization districts upon the
basis of the census of 1910.
The importance to Southern Califor-
MIA of the form that this redistricting
will take cannot be overestimated.
Under the constitution of the state
there can be but forty senatorial dis
tricts, with forty senators, and eighty
assembly districts, with eighty assem-

Why Southern California Should

two districts and two members of the
board. With a strong man as Cover
nor, such as we know Mr.. Stanton to
be, we might anticipate that no redis-
tricting bill that failed to be just to
his part of the state would meet his
approval, nor would he consent to be,
nor would we desire him to be unjust
to any other part of the state. All
that we desire is exact justice for
Southern California, and that can
wrong no other section, but he is the
only candidate who has declared him
self in favor of such u redistricting.

SERVICES TO HIS CONSTIT-
UENTS

Mr.. Stanton has "helped out" in so
many matters of deep interest to Los
Angeles that it would be difficult to
enumerate them. Among them, how
ever, may be mentioned the Owens
river aqueduct, the consolidation of
Los Angeles with Wilmington and San

L = are most excellent business rea-

these reasons follow:
