PATTERSON OFFERS To
WAIVE HIS NOMINATION
Democratic Candidate in TenneS-
see Willing to Go Before
People to Save Party

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 11.-As an
outcome of the recent judicial election
in Tennessee, in which the regular
Democratic nominees he supported
were defeated by the Independents, who
had the active aid of the Republican
organization, Governor M. r. Patterson
tonight issued a statement, in which he
expressed a willingness to waive the
Democratic nomination for a third
term which he has already received,
and again test the question of choice
of a Democrat in q primary. Thus he
would hope, he says, to save the state
to democracy. The statement, in part,
follows:
"The pernicious intermeddling of a
Republican president with the affairs
of the Democratic party in our state
should be resented and his well-laid
plans to Republicanize it thwarted be-
fore it is too late.
These Democrats who are actively
aiding and abetting his efforts excuse
their treason by saying that it is neces-
sary in order to eliminate me from
politics.
I'm order to silence criticism and to
test the question of whether 1 am the
choice of the majority, L now offer to
waive my title to the nomination, re-
store it to the people and enter any
kind of a primary to be held in any
way the opposition may elect, with an
equal division of election officers"

SPLENDOR MARKS
CHINESE FUNERAL
Hundreds Attend Ceremony Pre-
ceding Interment of Jung
Chong, Rich Merchant
MOURNERS FOLLOW HEARSE
Roast Pig and DeIicacieS Ranged
on Tables Near Remains
of Late Oriental
M0URNERS FOLLOW HEARSE

Surrounded by good things to eat,
heaped on tables arranged beneath the
shadow of a spreading canvas resting
on a framework of timber which, in
appearance, to one unaccustomed to
Chinese customs, might have been
taken for a feast arranged for some
heather prince, lay the body of Jung
Chong, millionaire Chinese merchant,
while hundreds of his race, surround
ing this structure where it had been
erected in front of the dead mans
former place of business, 321 Apablasa
street, l1neeled yesterday noon praying
for a successful journey of the soul to
it's final destination.
Roast pigs and delicacies, the perfec-
tion of Chinese cooking, ranged the
tables, brought there, according to Chi
nese custom, by sorroWing relatives
and friends to honor the departed and
to make sure that he will not feel the
pangs of hunger while making his final
Journey to the Chinese heaven.
All the most prominent business men
of Chinatown, several American men
of affairs who had known the deceased,
and Chinese in every walk of life made
up the throng that attended the cere-
monies.
After the silent prayers relatives and
lifelong friends, in hacks and on foot,
followed the body to the grave, burn
ing small, circular papers with holes
in the center-representing money
which, according to Chinese custom,
would pay the transportation of the
dead to the final resting place.
At the grave III the Chinese ceme-
terry adjoining Evergreen, only the rel
atives kneeled in prayer, commencing
the soul of the dead into the keeping
of the Almighty.
Chong died Wednesday, at the age
of so years. He came to California
forty years ago, the last thirty-fiVe of
which were passed in Los Angeles in
the mercantile business. At one time
he was considered the wealthiest man
of his race in Southern California, and
even after having lost large for
tune in a Chinese bank failure in Mex
leo he died a millionaire. Most of his
money was invested in Los Angeles
real estate.
Chong was one of the leading men
in the Chinese Empire Reform associa-
tion, an organization that is doing
much good in advancing and modern
izing conditions in China.

HEAVY RAINS END
WESTERN DROUGHT
Reports Show Practically Entire
West Has Passed Through
Record Dry Spell
NATURAL RESOURCES SUFFER
Scorching Weather FavorS the
Spread of Fires and Loss
in Irrigated Sections
NATURAL RESOURCES SUFFER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE heavy
rains which have fallen in various
parts of the west during the week have
broken the severe dry spell which has
worried the settlers for more than two
months. Reports to the weather bureau
show that practically the entire west
ern country, from eastern Wyoming
and Colorado to the Pacific coast states
and from the Canadian boundary to
Mexico, has just experienced one of
! the worst droughts of the last quarter
century. The only times in recent
years when the lack of water has been
felt as much were in the summers of
1894 and 1901.
Prior to this week rain to amount to
anything has not fallen for months
throughout the Rocky mountain region,
the great southwest nor in parts of the
far and central northwest, and as
result everything reached the condition
which the settlers called burned up"
The long siege of scorching weather
has caused great losses of many natural
resources, particularly the forests
where conditions became favorable for
the spread of fire, and water in the
streams used for irrigation and for
power development. In the distribution
erner as if the east received it all.
In many states the rainfall has been
less than 65 per cent of the normal
amount, and in some places it has been
as low as 2S and 35 per cent. This is
serious in a country where the normal
rainfall is always low, compared with
the eastern and northwest coast states.
While the eastern states have had in
most cases from ten to twenty-four
nf since March
western states have been having only
one and q half to six inches. AS a gen.
eral average for the western states, this
is only about 45 per cent of the normal
fall.
In some sections rain is still needed
to relieve the situation. The forests
are as dry as tinder and flames are
licking through valuable timber in
half dozen states. Many water holes in
some regions are drying up, and cattle
are compelled to walk many miles for
water The ranges are scared, and the
dry. dead grass and other forage plants
offer less than half nOurishment for
stock. Both cattle and sheep and par
ticularly sheep, are suffering as re-
suit, bringing about a serious loss of
food resources. Crops are suffering,
especially in the dry farming region
where there is no irrigation, although
crop losses are reported not to be as
heavy as might be expected under the
unfavorable conditions.
More rains ere hoped for by all the
interests affected by the drought. This
weeks rainfall in parts of the Rocky
mountain states, the southwest and the
far northwest has done much to check
losses. 1t is now up to j. Pluvius to
continue his good work and visit the
many other sections where he Will find
a hearty welcome.

WOULD-BE SOLONS ARE
QUESTIONED BY WOMEN
Leeds and Sanders Bombarded
with Queries at Meeting
of Suffragette Club

Walter Leeds, Republican aspirant
for nomination as assemblyman, and
George Sanders, Republican candidate
for nomination. for senator, were the
speakers at the meeting of the Votes
for Women club in the clubrooms in
South Olive street last evening.
Both candidates are said to have
previously admitted they were opposed
to equal suffrage and it was with
great difficulty they made themselves
heard above the din of questions
hurled at them, suppressed now and
then by the rappings of the chair
woman's gavel.
"Women have the right to vote, of
course-there is no argument against
that at ALL" said Leeds, but 1t Will
take a great deal of persuasion to
convince me that the majority OIL the
women want to vote. You are but a
small part of the women of Los An
geles. Would all the other women of
the city vote, and would you vote in
telligently?"
After enthusiastic women had pelted
him with pertinent questions for near
ly three-quarters of dn hour he was
driven to saying: "When you can
prove to me that the majority of
women in my district are ip favor of
the ballot, then 1 will not hesitate to
cast my vote in that manner"
One suffragette cried out: "Mr.
Leeds, do you recognize the fact that
every time a woman pays the rent,
buys loaf of bread or a pair of
shoes that she is helping to pay the
taxes which pay the officeholders'
wages?"
Mrs. Cora Lewis in closing her ad-
dress said:
II want the ballot because mother
hood is my profession and housekeep-
ing my business, and need the vote
to protect my business"
George Sanders appeared in the ex-
cittement which followed and his voice
cut into the noise which was occa-
sionally made louder by the sound of
the gavel.
"The standard of civic purity will
rise or fall by the standard of the
home. Will that standard be lifted
higher when you get the right to vote %
he asked. when you can go to the
legislature with a complete knowledge
of the American government and how
to deal with big subjects-then and
then only should you obtain complete
suffrage"
Time adjourned the meeting at TINS
stage of the argument as meetings of
the club are scheduled to close prompt
ly at 10 o'clock. Sanders question was
left unanswered.

CARUSTS SEEK WORD
OF VATICAN SUPPORT
Holy See Is Reluctant to Take the
Steps Which Might Cause
Civil War

ROME, Aug. 1.-THE Vatican is re-
ceiving reports from Monsignor Vinco,.
papal nuncio at Madrid, and three
Spanish cardinals and bishops which
were forwarded after they had received
Cardinal Merry del VaIs instructions
to abandon the demonstration at San
Sebastian planned for last Sunday.
According to these reports the Cath
olc organization on the peninsula is
perfect, making it impossible for Pre-
mier Canalejas to repeat there what
the Fench ministry did in France,
bringing about the separation of the
church and state.
Some of these reports state that only
word from Rome would be necessary
TO have the whole population rise and
sweep away all the enemies of the
church and religion. On the other
hand, the Carlists declare they are
ready to intervene, with certainty of
carrying the day, If Rome will order
the clergy and Catholic generally to
support them. The holy see, it is said,
is reluctant to take any such steps, as
1t does not wish to bring on civil war,
which it believes would not benefit the
church,
