creting Stolen Coin

psyche knot decorating the head of Mad
Singh, a Hindu laborer who was before
Judge Conlan yesterday, exposed q
novel method by which the swarthy
foreigners hide their money. Mad
Singh and Gunda Singh were arrested
for lighting in Turk street near Mason
When brought before the court Gunda
accused Mad of having stolen some
money from him. An interpreter was
brought in and Gunda stated that he
was sure the money was concealed in
the braided mass of hair which Mad has
piled on his head. Mad was ordered
to take down the phyche knot and as
he unwound the braids two 20 dollar
gold pieces fell to the floor Mad
claimed that the money was his. Judge
Conlan ordered both men back to jail

CONFIDENT OF SUPPORT

Johnson came from a triumphant
tour Of the great valleys Of the state
into section where disaffection was
said to exist to a great extent. He
goes out of that section tomorrow
morning confident of the fact that
wherever he has lost republican vote
in the southland he has won at least
one democratic vote TO offset it, and
further secure in the knowledge that
factional differences within the party
are being rapidly healed.
That there are some such differences
is not TO be denied In part they are
due to an old soreness growing out of
the primary contest, but in larger part
they hinge upon local factional fights,
which are not going to be of much
consequence so far a the state ticket
is concerned.
Wherever Johnson has come in con-
tact with these republican "soreheads'
he has not stopped 10 beg them to come
back into the fold. He has sized the
situation up for exactly what it is
worth and he has told his opponents
in the most forceful language at his
command that he is going to be the
next governor of California in spite
of them

PREDICTION OF VICTORY

Lissner declared his belief that Los
Angeles county alone would give the
republican standard bearer from Is. 900
to 10000 plurality, that the counties
south of the Tehachapi would double
this. and that the addition of the coun-
try vote would take Johnson into San
Francisco with 10000 plurality, as a
conservative estimate.
Johnson left San Diego by train at
$50 o'clock this morning, reaching San
Bernardino at ! o'clock He was greet
ed by a large reception committee,
headed by z. D. Roberts, and after
luncheon made an address to between
200 and 800 persons gathered in the
street before the hotel at San Bernar-
dino. From the latter city he took an
all afternoon automobile trip, accom-
panied by a big delegation from the
neighboring cities. Short stops and
brief addresses were made at the state
hospital at Patton and at Highland,
Aedlands and Cotton, at all of which he
was enthusiastically received
The San Francisco call., 1910-10-05
PLEDGE OF PARTY UNITY

The dominant theme tonight, just as
it has been at all the dinners and gath
erings which Johnson has attended on
his trip, was that of party unity. Jledges
of support were given in unstinted
measure by every speaker, and some of
the toasts came from the lips of men
who Were aligned with one or the other
Of Johnson's opponents prior to the pri-
mary election in August.
The banquet was opened by H. l.
Carnahan. chairman of the Riverside
county republican central committee
while Mayor S. E. Evans of this city
presided as toastmaster. The speakers
were W. J. Pentelow of Corona w H
Ellis of Perris, w. ". Phelps of River
side, District Attorney Lyman Evans
and Chairman Meyer Lissner of the re-
publican state central committee
Lssner Joined Johnson's party in
Los Angeles, and in(his speech tonight
summed up conditions as he has found
them and predicted a victory in No
vember by a majority of anywhere
from $4,000 TO 10000 for the republican
ticket

knowing beyond doubt that within the
state of California there lies solid

stream of republican party unity flows
strong and unpoluted in San Bernardino
and Riverside counties. just as in the
mountain districts of the north. in the
great valleys and in the other counties
which he has visited below the Tehach-
api.
Johnson's preliminary tour of the
southland came to an end here in Riv-
erside tonight, and it closed with a
banquet that was a fitting climax of an
unparalleled political journey. Two
hundred and fifty republicans of River
side and San Bernardino counties sat
at the banquet board with him in the
famous Glenwood Mission inn and
cheered him with an enthusiasm that
could only come from whole souled
sympathy with the man himself and the
cause he reDrPSentS

MILESTONE TOWARD VICTORY


However, Johnson was not forced
into a meeting with opponents within
the party ranks tonight. He was given
a reception that bespoke the utmost
measure OF republican unity and en-
thusiasm. It was just another mile
stone passed in the march toward an
overwhelming republican victory in No
vember
The handsome banquet hall of the
Mission inn of Riverside was crowded
TO its capacity, and in the throng of
diners was practically every republican
editor of this and San Bernardino
county. 1t was an informal dinner, but
the tables were profusely decorated
with flowers. At the end of the hall
behind the speakers table were hung
three portraits in frames. surrounded
by incandescent lights In the center
was a large picture of Abraham Lin
coin, and at either side was one of
Roosevelt and one of Johnson.

Haskell VetoeS
Election Bill
Governor Objects to Law to Keep
Negroes from Voting on Constitu- :
tional Amendments.

GUTHRIE, okl, March S-.Governor Has
kell yesterday vetoed the so-called
Taylor election bill under which It Is
claimed most OF the negroes OF the state
would be barred from voting on cofFti-
tutional amendments. The governor pointed
out several features OF the bill TO which
he objected. among them that prohibiting
the printing Of sample ballots, The Tay-
lor bill limited the franchise on const'-
tutional amendments to those whose faith
ers and grandfathers were freeman.
In the vetoed measure the provision for
a ballot title proposing an amendment to
the constitution specified hat there shall
be printed I'm the title and in the same
size type as the title the words FOR the
amendment and to make a ballot et-
fective against the proposed amendment a
voter Is required to strike out every let
ter OF the words 'for the amendment
with a black lead pencil.
otherwise the ballot would be counted
for the proposed amendment. II Is claimed
that large numbers OF negroes being H.
literate could not discriminate between
the words FOR the amendment" and the
other lines Of the ballot title and could
not therefore vote as they might desire.

who gets the velvet?

Who gets the velvet?
The Northwestern railroad for tax as
sessment declares the ice in it's storehouses
costs GO cents a ton to put in and should
be assessed at that figure.
Compare this with the figure paid by the
retail purchaser of ice, who pays about 50
cents for 100 p~ounds-almost as much for
the h~undredweight as it costs the railroad
to store a ton Of ice.
There is a big profit somewhere for the
ice dealer.
The tax return by the Chicago. st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha railroad. which is a
part of the Northwestern system. is inter-
esting because the road is scrupulously
careful not to state other than what 1t
would cost to reproduce it's property within
the jurisdiction of Douglas county The re-
production value, which is the only one
given, is placed at 81, 500, Si9.
