DEPUTIES TAKING
PETITION NAMES
Corps in Field Meets Success on
the First Day of
Its Work
FOUR MINUTES ARE REQUIRED
All Democratic Candidates Rep
resented in the One
Collection
FOUR MINUTES ARE REQUIRED

The Democratic central committee of
Los Angeles county yesterday placed
a corps of verifcation deputies in the
field securing signatures to the petit
tions Of the various county and state
candidates. The petition bearers re-
ported last night that exceptionally
gratifying progress had been made
the first day.
I'VE are gratified at the success to-
day." said Chairman Albert M. Norton,
"for it is especially encouraging to note
the ease with which our men are Sc
curing the signatures to the petitions.
CAN SIGN IN OFFICE
"Tt requires only about four or five
minutes for an elector to sign the en-
tire set of petitions. If he does not
wish to wait for the verification deputy
to call on him he can sign the petitions
at the office Of Harry Dean, ABS Brad
bury building
ut will greatly facilitate our own
work and ealieve the voters of further
worry If each elector called on by the
verifcation clerks will give enough
time to the matter to sit down and
sign all Of the petitions at once.
ALL IN A BUNCH
"All the petitions of the various can
didates for the nomination to state
offices are included and will be present.
ed to the elector for his signatures
along with the petitions of the candi-
dates for county nominations. The
petitions of the state candidates, of
course, must be circulated all over the
state.
when the verif1cation deputies have
secured the maximum number of sig
natures for the state candidates in TINS
county they will be checked off on the
great register and forwarded to the
state central committee in San Fran
cisco, which committee IN turn will file
them with the secretary of state when
each county in which the petitions are
circulated has sent in its full quota
of signatures to each petition.
"While the direct primary law has
imnosed a somewhat arduous task on
the electors, we hope all loyal Demo-
Gratis will come to our aid and that
thew will not hesitate to give enough
of their time to sign the entire set of
petitions"

Chief Galloway will report at the next
meeting of the commission whether IN
his opinion a trial of the case Is ad-
visable. If he so reports it will be
ordered.
APPROACHED GAGE
That he did approach Gage in an
endeavor to have him withdraw his
complaint against Captain Dixon of
the Los Angeles police department,
but did so merely out of friendship for
Dixon and not at the solicitation of
yesterday afternoon by j. Il. Anderson.
Anderson, who Is a real estate and
insurance dealer, with offices in the
Copp building, frankly admitted going
to Gage to have the latter withdraw
his charges, but emphatically denied
he offered immunity to Gage, who is
proprietor of the Hampshire hotel.
The attempt to silence Gage created
a sensation at police headquarters yes
terday.
WHAT ANDERSON SAYS
"I have known Captain Dixon for
many years." said Anderson, land
when I read that charges unbecoming
an officer had been preferred against
him 1 felt 1t my duty, out of friendship
for Dixon, to try and effect an ami
cable adjustment Of the difficulty.
did not offer Gage any financial set
tlement or state he would have police
protection in running his hotel If he
Withdrew the charges.
Neither did 1 act as an emissary
of Captain Dixon, but went to Gage
of my own volition and without the
knowledge of Dixon.
II did not know Gage until I went
to his rooming house and l did not
consult Dixon before the visit, so that
stories to the effect that Dixon wanted
me to use my influence to suppress the
charges are not correct. I acted mere
ly in spirit of friendship"
MAY FILE SUIT
Gage evidently Dies not agree with
Anderson and yesterday consulted an
attorney in regard to the case and in
timated If the police commission did
not take drastic action against Dixon
he would file civil suit for SANDER.
Gage stated the notoriety had hurt
his business and that Captain Dixon
repeated in public the remarks which
were made personally to Gage.
Captain Dixon admitted he knew of
Anderson's visit to Gage, but denied
he requested Anderson to interfere in
his behalf. Chief Galloway, when ques-
toned about the matter, stated 1t was
a problem the police commission would
settle and until he heard the evidence
would take no official action.

is ALMOST KILLED BY
PARTNERS TRAP GUN
Miner Picks Up Piece of Gas Pipe
"a
and Has Narrow Escape

What was at first thought to be an
internal machine was discovered yes
terday morning by James Ingles at
Seventh and Wall streets.
Ingles and his partner, Joe Bowman,
who are both miners living at the Seat
tie apartments, S12 West Fourth street,
packed up their belongings yesterday
preparatory to leaving for Nevada.
Bowman left the apartments first and
Ingles following within a few minutes
ran across the machine which had
dropped from the pocket of the former.
AS Ingles picked it up, bullet was
discharged, barely missing his head.
The machine was turned over to De-
tective Rico and Ingles and Bowman
allowed to catch their train.
The machine is a piece of gas pipe
with a plunger and spring, the latter
causing a hammer to explode a large
caliber cartridge when released.

pany of New York against the Selma
Fruit company for alleged infringe
ment of patented process for pre-
pairing raisins for easy seeding was
decided yesterday by Judge Wellborn

the opinion Of the court that the pro-
cess is an old and generally known one
which was used before the application
was made for the patent.
The process is what is known as
the Forsyth patent, said to embrace
a process discovered by William For
syth. The case was heard at Fresno
The same patent is involved in cases
against other fruit companies.

MUCH SOUGHT TOOL THIEF
Is GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE

A. ]. M. Perry, who is known to the
police as the much sought "tool thief"
was given a Jail sentence Of 1S0 days
yesterday by Police Judge Chambers
on a charge of petty larceny.
Perry was arrested last Friday by
detectives while he was endeavoring
to dispose of a kit of carpenters tools
he had stolen from a house under con-
struction in the southwest part of the
city. 1t is believed that Perry is the
man who has been stealing carpenter
and plumbers tools from various
houses being constructed, which have
been reported during the last two
weeks.

the questions to be decided, will file
protest with Mr.. Archer against the
postponement. They believe that an
affidavit made by a resident in the
valley with relation to the character
of the land, and which they assert is
untrue, is responsible for the post
ponement. The affidavit, it is said, is
in substance that the land is over
flowed.
Settlers in the valley are opposed to
the proposal to change the channel of
the Colorado river, recently made, on
the ground that there is no reason for
such action. An attorney will visit
the valley to gather evidence in sup
port of the assertion of the protestants
that the land is dry.

daily, the city receiving no compensa-
tion for the earth, stated Commission
er j. B. Lippincott, and on his motion
a resolution was passed ordering the
acting park superintendent to prohibit
further unauthorized hauling from the
mark

United States land office in this CITY

CHIEF To PROBE
CHARGE OF CAGE
Commission Directs Galloway to
Investigate Case Against
Captain Dixon
URGE ACCUSER TO DROP CASE
J.F. Anderson, Realty Dealer, Ad-
mits He Talked with the
Hotel Proprietor
URGE AcCUSER To DROP CASE

At it's meeting last night the police
commission referred to Chief of Police
Galloway for investigation and report
the charges preferred against Captain
Dixon by d. Gage OF S14 South Broad
way. Gage charges that he was sum-
moned to the office of Captain Dixon
and there falsely accused of degen-
eracy and insulted by opprobrious cpl
IneJS.
Not only will Chief Galloway inves-
tigate these charges, but it Is probable
that Cages latest assertion that an
effort was made to square" the case
with him and persuade him to drop his
charges will be investigated by the
executive head of the department.

WITHDRAWS REQUEST FOR
$4,000 TO WIDEN STREET

The request made to the city council
for an appropriation of $4,000 for the
widening of Sunset boulevard through
to the Plaza was withdrawn yesterday
by representatives of property owners
along the boulevard. The committee,
owing to the objections with which
the request seems to be met, changed
its request to include only the county's
assessment which is figured at $1,000.
No action will be taken until written
opinion of the district attorney is made.

oRAroR1cAL AND ATHLETIC.
Association for Oconco High Schools
Has Been Organized.

Seneca, Oct. 24.-Editor Keowee
Courier: Two weeks ago the prin-
clpals Of the Westminster, Walhalla
ana Seneca High Schols met at Sem
eca and organized the Oconee Coun-
ty Oratorical and Athletic Associa-
uon. Oconee now enjoys the dis
tinction OF being the only county in
South Carolina thoroughly organized
along this line.
We believe in a sound mind in a
sound body, and for that reason we
wish to encourage athletics to give
the sound body, and oratory to de-
velop the mental and moral side.
Our aim is three-fold-that Is, to
develop the physical, mental and
spiritual. If either Of these Is push
ed more than the other, the ones neg
lected will suffer and the individual
Will pay for it, For example, sup
pose a boy breaks down his health
trying to get an education, what
good will it be. to HIM? Health is
happiness and wealth if one has en-
ergy and push. For my part am
glad that the world is waking up to
the need OF well developed manhood.
The spirit which healthy athletics
cultivate In school will unity the
interests Of that school as nothing
else will. 1t was the forming of
athletic clubs In Prussia that made
her the unit for the organization of
the great German Empire. All these
things must be governed; rules and
regulations must be behind them or
they will fail. Everything must be
governed. Turn n steam engine
loose without an engineer 10 steer
ii and YOU will have destruction.
We want all the high schools in
Oronee to Jon this association. They
can Join the Oratorical feature If
they are not strong enough to get up
a track team. This alone would do
wonders If the high schools Of Oco-
nee would take hold. We want the
association to do the greatest good
to the greatest number. The ora
torical contest will be held on Wash
ington's. birthday and will be held
this year In the auditorium Of the
Westminster High School with Su-
perintendent w. C. Taylor as host.
There care Townville. Oakway,
South Union and others, all Of which
would add much enthusiasm and in
terest to the association. The con-
stitution and bylaws will appear in
the papers OF Oconee this week, per-
haps along with this article. would
like to hear from the principals Of
all those schools saying that they will
join us in the step forward for Oco-
nee and her young men.
Yours faithfully,
NJ. T.. BrOckman, Stunt.
