LIGHT PETITION
SIGNED BY 800
Nearly Double Number of Voters
Required by Law Affix
Their Names
MEANS $4,000 TO THE CITY
Vote on Reduction of Illuminating
Prices to Be Decided
at Polls
MEANS $4,000 TO THE CITY

All records were broken by the citi-
zens of Los Angeles when at exactly
Sis o'clock yesterday afternoon the
secretary of the Municipal league tiled
the referendum petition on the lighting
rate ordinance with the city clerk, the
petition containing at that hour olOO
signatures, almost double the number
required by law.
This number of signatures did not
represent the total, as several petitions
had not been returned to the league,
and many signatures were thrown out
because invalid.
1t was stated that if all the sigma
lures had been filed that were received,
or offered, the league would nave had
about 700U names.
OF the number which were filed yes
terday it is believed not over or D
per cent will be thrown out by the city
clerk, as the petition bearers were ex-
ceptionally careful in accepting names.
The filing of the petition yesterday
afternoon means that the city VIII be
saved at least $4,000, because it will now
be possible to place the referendum is
sue on the special councilmanlc electloh
ballot June 30, for the people TO de-
eide whether they want to pay Z or 3
cents a kilowatt hour for their electric
lights.
At this election also, the people VIII
vote for two candidates for the city
council. There are four men in the
race-George H. Stewart and Frederick
j. Whiffen, representing the people ana
the Good Government organization, ana
Barney Healy and Doc Houghton, rep
resenting the machine, the lighting cor
porations and other interests.
The petition filed by the people yes
terday for a referendum vote on the
lighting rate will go to the city council,
after it is checked up, in time for the
session next Tuesday night, and that
body will then order the referendum
placed on the councilmanic ballot for
the election June 80.
Meyer Lssner, president of the board
of public utilities, issued a statement
Yesterday afternoon in reply to the
statement given out Thursday by w
A. Breckenridge, vice president of the
Southern California Edison company
The statement of Breckenridge was, in
effect, a complaint that the city council
acted with undue haste in cutting the
electric light rate, and without the
knowledge of the facts which it should
have had. Mr.. Iissner says the compa-
MES have had every chance to do the
right thing.

EVIDENCE INSUFFICIENT;
KISSINGER Is RELEASED
Damage Suit Started Against a
Deputy District Attorney

H. f. Kissinger, who was arrested
recently at the instance of f: L.
Weller and charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses, was DIS
charged from custody yesterday by
Justice Summerfied. The court found
that there was not sufficient evidence
to warrant sending the case to a high
er tribunal.
Kissnger sold Weller a coHee anu anu
tea route obtaining $500 for it. Weller
stated that Kissinger informed him
the route would net $25 profit each
week. After purchasing. it he could
not net $25 out of it weekly, therefore
he secured a warrant for Kissinger,s
arrest. Weller brought civil proceed
ings to secure the return of his money,
and the action is now pending in the
superior court. Kissinger has lnsu-
Denn+v District Attorney John North
claiming North slandered him by is

PREMIER BRANDS MINISTER'S
RESIGN UNDER FIRE OF
DEPUTIES, CHAMBER.
STILL CONTROLS FRANCE
President FaIiieres Asks Him For
New Body-Ministry Fails to
Act On Laws to Pre-
vent Crises.

Paris, France.-The cabinet of Pre-
mier BRAND, which succeeded the
Clemenceau ministry on July %, 1909.
Unexpectedly resigned in consequence
Of the bitter attacks made in the
chamber of deputies. President Fal-
Heres asked BRAND to form a new
ministry and the latter accepted the
task.
Although the fact that there was a
divergence of views among the min
listers concerning legislative measures
to prevent crises brought about by
the recent railway strike was well
known. the designations created a SEN
sation. 1t had been expected Premier
BRAND would remain and remodel the
ministry in harmony with his views on
a parliamentary program to meet fu-
ture strike crises.
The exact nature Of Brands pro-
gram has not been announced, but it
Is understood both M. Millerand, min
lister of public works, posts and tele-
graphs. and M. Viviani, minister of
labor, ~dissented. particularly Miller
and, who insisted upon the principle
Of arbitration.
BRAND Conservative Socialist.
BRAND, who was a Socialist, was
made more conservative by the respon.
sibility of power and experience. His
opponents took delight in throwing in
his teeth his defense of Herve in 1903,
when the latter was prosecuted for
his anti-military writings. At that
time BRAND identified himself with his
clients opinions, but Nerves attitude
later became more violent.
Chamber Is Defeated.
On Nov. 8 BRAND won a notable VIC
tory in defeating in the chamber of
deputies a proposal TO change the
method of elections of deputies from
representation by reimbursement to
representation by department. He car
ried the day by threatening tt resign
If the reform was voted.
Again or March Is last BRAND re-
ceived an overwhelming vindieation
when the chamber of deputies con
the manner in which the prop
erty of the religious orders had been
but expressed confidence in
the governments promise to take the
responsibility and punish the guilty.
BRAND Faces Rail Strike.
BRAND was confronted on Oct. 10
by the railway strike on the NorthelG
and which, spreading TO other
lines, threatened to paralyze traffic
throughout the republic. He met the
situation with a firmness that chal-
lenged the admiration of the world
A strong Republican majority in the
chamber voted confidence in the gov
eminent but at a meeting of the min
Isters ~dissensions developed anc
BRAND announced that new and Sc
problems grown out of the labor
must be met by a united min
Istry. Accordingly he suggested tbs
of himself and associates.
Plans Kept Secret.
It is likely that Foreign Minister
