TRIUMPH AND CALAMITY

htiiio'io1y VI 'uih Pit' oh every field of battle Tuesday, except in Tennessee.
 Every state, save Tennes, see, responded to the demand for equality of men and property under the law.
 The Democracy of Massa- chusetts came into it's own. Theodore Roosevelt could not save the Republican party of New York. Dix in that state won an overwhelming majority.
 Woodrow Wilson, educator, leader among the patriotic thinkers of this country, made a triumphant fight in New Jersey.
 Harmon, great lawyer, great Democrat, has been re. elected ill Ohio.
 In Indiana the struggle is close, with the chances in favor of the Democrats.
 The corrupt Republican machine in Illinois was smashed.
 The lower house of the next congress will be Democratic.
 Ballingerism, Aldrichism and Cannonism have been overthrown in their strong holds.
 The buying and selling of offices, trading in franchises and bartering of legislation for a price in New York and in Massachusetts and in New Jersey have been condemned by the voters of these states.
 Democracy north of the Ohio river has commanded this year the support of the best thought, of the best brains and of the best morals.
 There are no cleaner men and pnrer men in American public life than Harmon and Wilson. Mr. Dix, of New York, has had little expert euce in public affairs, yet lis enemies admitted that he is a man of high personal charae. ter. These men take leader ship from the eraft-palsied hands of Foraker and Dick and Depew and Lorimer.
 The Republican party in the north has become, within the last ten years, the servant of organized corruption and laWleS~ wealth. Its own crimes against the people have been its undoing.
 Only in Tennessee has De mocraey apparently failed. Hooper, on the face of the returns, seems to he elected, but by aiority which k less than was expected by his followers.
 The campaign was made by the Republicans upon is sues that did not exist.
 he result Is a calamity to Tennessee. It is a blow to the national Democracy.
 II is a victory in Tennessee for Taft and Ballinger, for Aldrich and Cannon, which they could not win in those states where Republican rule had been tried.
 The day will come when every fair thinking man who Strayed away from the Demo. cratic party will bitterly re- gret his act.
 In the fuIlness of time they will see the selfish designs. the greed for office and the desire for personal revenge that moved their leaders. and

BIDS ON FIRE HOSE
DELAYED BY AGENT
Manufacturers Representatives
Expected to Offer Prices
Before Limit Expires

Although the council has advertised
it will open bids for 1900 feet of fire
hose Tuesday morning no bids have
yet been received. But the presence
in the city and around the city hall
of representatives of number of rub
ber companies is assurance that bids
will be submitted before the hour set
for opening them. The cost of this
amount of hose may range between
$500 and $12500, according to the quail
ity the council purchases.
The fire hose fund is one of the sub
jec+s the fire commission is investi-
eating in the general examination of
the fire department. While the COM
mission is not prepared to make any
statements on this matter, members
of the board have let it be known that
some surprising things may develop, as
the fund is not in as straight a condi-
ton as it should be.
When the bids are opened by the
council for fire hose they will be re-
fei-red to the fire commission, and the
commission will take the opportunity
to ask some of the agents of the rub
Der companies why hose purchased in
the past at high figure did not last
as long as it should have done.

LOCAL CRIME CHARGED
To PASADENA BURGLARS
Woman Identifies the Pair Who
Fought Police as Men Who
Robbed Her Rooms

r. ]. Taylor and D. w. Graves, alias
Carl Mcmillan, who were captured
in a running fight in Pasadena by the
police Friday after it is alleged they
looted rooms of several persons in q
fa9hionable apartment house in that
city, were positively identified yester-
day a short time after their confine-
ment in the county jail in Los Angeles
by Mrs Laura Seeney as the same
men whom she had met coming from
her apartments in the Plymouth hotel,
sixth and Flower streets, this city,
on March 90 shortly after the rooms
had been burglarized of jewelry. Mrs.
Seeney never reported the robbery to
the police although she had lost a
turquoise necklace and a gold watch,
valued at several hundred dollars.
After reading of the description of the
men in the morning papers she commu-
nicated with the Pasadena police and
was later given an opportunity to
identify the men in this city.
In order that no mistake be made,
Sheriff Hammel put the woman to a
careful test. She was seated opposite
q doorway and engaged i'm conversation
with one of the deputies. Several pris-
oners, clad in their khaki uniforms,
passed her. care these supposed to he
the men?" she asked. "Oh. no." the
duputy replied. "These fellows are
merely going to their work." Without
warning Taylor and Graves separately
passed before her, following the others
and unconscious of their errand. As
the men faced the doorway the little
woman cried in succession, THAT Is
the man."
The police and sheriff's Office believe
they will be able to connect the men
with many crimes committed in the city
within the past three months.

News of the Courts
ATTORNEYS BEGIN FIGHT
ON GARBAGE ORDINANCE
Dispute City's Right to Limit Col.
lection of Refuse to One
Municipal Agent

Arguments as to the constitutionality
of the now city garbage ordinance, pro
viding that the garbage in the city is to
be disposed of by one contractor, who'
in the present instance, is Charles Alex
ander, we're heard in Judge Hutton's
court yesterday morning The plain
tiffs are Boos Bros, +. j. Durham ana

city. and the defendants are the city
of Los Angeles, the chief of police and
| other officials of Los Angeles

the deciding of an application for

| plaintiffs to prevent the defendants
from interfering with them in the col
| lection Of garbage from the hotels,
hinge on the courts decision as to the
constitutionality of the ordinance.
Attorneys for the defendants are re-
| lying on decisions of the supreme court
that a municipality has the right to
dispose of all city garbage in view Of
| the necessity of protecting the public
health.
The plaintiffs dispute the legality Of
the ordinance providing that the dis
posal of all garbage may be entrusted
| to one man. Inc OfulndnCe pIONldeS
! that all applications to dispose of gar
| bage from persons other than the cltys
agent must be made within fifteen days
after its passage. AS more than fifteen
! days have passed since the measure be
came q law there appears to be no
chance for any of those interested to
get contracts.
"The ordinance provides that the
citys agent can collect garbage from
only one person even when a permit is
granted" said Attorney Millsap, for
the plaintiffs. "Why should others be
! limited to one man and why should
! there be any limitation at all as long
as others than the city's agent comply
with every point of the sanitary laws?
| The garbage in question is only gar
bage when it is not used as food for
