ASSERTS DEMOCRATS WILL
BE IN CONTROL OF HOUSE

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Democratic
National Committeeman Roger G. Sui
livan of Illinois, who is in New York,
"looking over the ground" is alarmed
over the national dearth of Democratic
presidential possibilities.
"Just as present there seems to be a
strange lack of aspirants," he said. "Of
course, Ohio is backing Harmon and
New Jersey is grooming Woodrow
Wilson for the candidacy. But these
are the only two possibilities I have
heard suggested, unless it be Senator
Bailey of Texas. Bryan, of course, is
out of it, though / presume he will
try. But 1 doubt if he can command
the delegates from his state in the next
national convention"
Mr.. Sullivan expressed complete con-
fidence that the Democrats will con-
troll the next house of representatives,
and, that Champ Clark would be Can
mons successor as speaker.

Some Startling Figures
Setting Forth ExtravaganceS
of District Attorney
Expenses of Fredericks' Office Are
Shown by. Official Records to Have
Almost Doubled in Three Years

T its last two issues The Herald has published fac sim
lies of claims made in the district attorneys office
in favor of his brother, but not in his brothers full
name, that the beneficiary under the claims could be
identified The Herald knows that the district attorneys

information concerning the management of his office which

that his BROTHER who 'an eminent physician in the
east undertook this work "as patriotic duty only asking
that if possible his be kept from publication as he
was starting his professional here at that time and
did not want to start detective worthy

1t appears that the district attorneys brother received
nearly $500 county of Los Angeles within period
of about months for dischargng his patriotic duty
and it also appears from the district attorneys explanation
that he starting his professional here at that time

If he able his repugnance for the work

for it, it is somewhat surprising that he not also able

FURTHER THE REMARKABLE RE ARK Fact FACT IS
MONTHS OF 1902 $1,000 MORE TO RUN THE DIS
TRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE THAN 1T DID TO
RUN ALL OF THE TWELVE DEPARTMENTS OF
THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THIS COUNTY, AND
NEARLY DOUBLE WHAT 1T COST TO RUN THE
SHERIFFS OFFICE.
One remarkable item of the district attorneys expendi-
ure for the first half of 1909 shown by the auditors
port as Special detectives $7o3943 For running the
sher office the auditors report shows the salary of sher
f land detectives $15002 Or to put another way the
district attorneys office spent for special detectives almost
SO per cent much expended by the sheris office
in the salaries of the sheriff and all of his deputies.
In connection with the claims for payment shown for
his special detective work would ike ask the district
attorney two questions
FrstIs not true that at the request of Walter Parker
he has placed members of Mr. Parkers political machine
his payroll detectives simply for the purpose of making
places for them?
Seconds that detectives paid by the county
money have been employed about his private business

significant in the light of certain figures concerning
the expense of running the district attorneys office which
The Herald has collated.
FROM THE REPORT OF THE AUDITOR OF LOS
ANGELES COUNTY FOR THE SIX MONTHS END
ING JUNE 80, 1906, IT APPEARS THAT THE COST
OF RUNNING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OF
FICE FOR THAT PERIOD WAS $19O08.
For the purpose of comparison would also call at
enon the that the report shows that the cost
running the departments of the superior courts for
the period including the salaries of nine superior
court judges, was $22,67075
The of running the sheris office for the
period $13,23461.
THE AUDITORS REPORT FOR THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF 1909 GIVES THE TOTAL COST OF
RUNNING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE
AS $35, 5,18154.
The total cost of running the TWELVE DEPART
MENTS of the superior court is given as $3319168.
The total of running the sherifs office for the

MEETS DEATH IN BALLOON

BRESLAU, Prussia, April 4.-Pro-
fessor Richard Abegg, a distinguished
chemist and professor of chemistry at
the University of Breslau, was killed
while attempting to land following a
balloon flight yesterday.
Professor Abegg. who was fond OF
ballooning, assembled here yesterday in
the balloon Silesia, which belongs to
the aeronautic society. He was ac-
companied by a woman relative and
Karl Gerstel Sn engineer. Strong
wind currents were encountered and
when the balloon reached the vicin-
ity of Tessin, in Mechlenburg Schwer-
in. ii was decided dangerous to con-
tinue the flight Accordingly the gas
valve was opened and the balloon
dropped slowly to the earth
Gerstel and the woman landed safe
ly but before the professor could get
out of the basket a gust of wind
caught up the half Debated balloon
bag and dragged the basket along the
ground for some distance. Abegg's
skull was crushed and his legs bro
ken. He died soon afterwards.

CANNOT ACT AS CENSOR.
Telegraph Companies Say Not Re-
sponsible for Bucket Shops.

NEW YORK. April 4.-Intimations
from Washington that the federal
government is keenly interested in
the leased wire contracts under which
some of the companies indicted in
Washington for running bucket shops
are said to have paid the Western
Union Telegraph company 100000 a
year each. brought forth a statement
tonight from Belvidere Brooks, vice
pres dent of the American Telephone
G. Telegraph company and the new
general manager of the Western
Union.
Some years ago the Western Union
abandoned it's racing service to pool
rooms.
Mr.. Brooks said in part tonight:
Telegraph companies are required
to render service to the public with
out discrimination and cannot and
should not be permitted to inquire in
to the character of the message or its
purpose. 1t is utterly impracticable
for telegraph company to investi-
gate business affairs of persons deal
ing with it. and it is under no duty
to make such investigation.
in most states this right of the
public to have it's business transmit
ted is provided for by severe statutory
penalty. Neither courts nor the pub
lie would for an instant permit a
telegraph company to act as censor.

Stock Market is
Dull During Day

NEW YORK. April 4.-Some fea-
lures of interest were discernible
through the intense dullness of the
days dealings in stocks, although the
net price changes were inconsequen-
/ tial One was the extreme thinneSs
! of the market periods when there
were any STRINGS of animation. This
was strikingly manifest in the wide
| fluctuations at which orders were ex-
ecuted in the little furry which sue
! ceeded the assembling of the supreme
court There had been some selling
! by bear traders in the first hour on
1 the chance that a decision adverse to
/ the American Tobacco company would
be handed down today. But the point
| Of interest was that in the filling Of
! buying orders there was fiuc-
/ tuation from 1876 SIS to 1876 IL on the
purchase of a 500 share block OF I'm
i ION Pacific.
The question was suggested whether
the interstices disclosed in the mar
ket might be due in part to the going
/ into force today of the new reform
rules of the stock exchange directors
/ against manipulative practices.
| A favorite device of the manipula-
! tors was to put in an order for
! large amount of stock for "all or
none" which was effective often in
moving the price without any actual
| transaction being necessary. 1t was
| inferred that the new rule, in dis
couraging such orders, might be re-
sponsible for the open spaces bare of
orders that were encountered when
prices moved today with any decision.
j The relapse of the market into stag
nation after it became known that
no American Tobacco decision would
come today gave force to this suppo-
sition of other causes for the neglect
of the market than the suspense of
awaiting this important judicial de-
cision Statistics of the Journal of
! Commerce on the recent output of
new securities threw light On the
causes of the present symptoms of
glut in the market. For the past
quarter the total reaches the pro-
digious figure Of $664,733,765 par value

March. Last year there were but
! 1852, 376,SS0 issued for the whole of
the first quarter and but. $75,225, 400
for March.
That the money market is unaf-
fected by the gold export movement
and by the low surplus reserve shown
by the Saturday bank statement, is
due to the languid demand for stock
market purposes.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales,
par value, $1,964, 900.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

grant an audience to Mr.. Roosevelt
created greater interest than In
France. and it is expected to prove
a strong card for the government in
the coming elections as supporting
the contention of M. BRAND. the pre-
mier that the recent agitation of the
French episcopate was inspired by the
present intransigent and intolerant
attitude of the vatican.
