All the Latest News and Notes in the Realm of Politics
OLD HICKORY CLUB IS
DEMOCRATIC .BULWARk
Widens Scope of Political Activity
by Organization of
Branches

The Old Hickory club, one of the
Oldest and best known Democratic
clubs in Los Angeles county, has wild
ened the scope of it's political activities
for the pending campaign, and an
nounced yesterday that at its last
meeting in Highland park it had or
ganized six subsidiary or branch
clubs in Annandale, Eagle Rock and
Precincts 1, 2, and 4, all of which
have started off with a gratifying
membership and will join strenuously
in the work of eleeting the Democratic
ticket
at is a notable fact" said A. M.
Norton, chairman of the central com
mittee yesterday, that all the Demo-
cratic organizations have been grow
ing rapidly and taking on a new life
since the recent primaries, many per-
sons who have not taken part in pol
itics for years now stepping forward
to promote the ticket. 1t has not been
very long since it would have been
difficult to organize successful Demo-
cratic clubs in certain sections OF Los
Angeles which now are bus1ly estap-
fishing clubs and precinct organiza-
tions to support the county ticket. Ihe
hundreds of new recruits who are
constituting about half the member
ship of some of these new clubs un-
doubtedly have been inspired win
confidence by the suden prospects OF
Democratic victory.
""This is Democratic year has
been passed down the line from Shasta
to San Diego, and the fact that the
statement is concurred in by so many
old-line Republicans has given many
Of our Democratic warehouses an I'M
t1 Democratic
fight Whatever may be the cause,
the effect is certain. Democracy mas
become stronger in Los Angeles county
during the last six months than 1t
has ever been before, and within the
last month has become revtalized to
an extent scarcely to have been
dreamed of even by the most optt-
MYSTICAL Democrat. -
everywhere the fight that has been
waged by the Democratic leaders for
better government and cleaner politics
has aroused the interest and won the
admiration and support of the voter
and taxpayer, who had become DIS
gusted with the old order Of things,
and who now recognizes the fact that
the Democrats have made. good IN
their promises; that they have rid the
party of its former bosses, barnacles
and undesirable s. P. politicians, and
election the cleanest, best and most
competent candidates ever presented
to the voters in this county.
'"The prosperity and the promising
outlook of the new and revitalized
Democracy are due to the elevating In
fluences and the patient and eeaseless
struggles of such commendable organ
izations as the Old Hickory club Of
Highland Park, whose branch clubs
have been established for the work
Of teaching and promulgating Demo-
cratic doctrines through wider field
than could be reached by the mother
club. The Old Hickory club is all
that its name implies-Democratic to
the core. and its membership is made
up of good, old-fashioned Andrew
Jackson Democrats. who have no sym
pathies with cut-and-dried bossism,
sub rosa politics and machine conspir-
acies."

WILL SELECT GOOD
GOVERNMENT TICKET
Organizations County Central
Committee Will Meet Monday
to Make Endorsements

Letters were sent out yesterday an
nouncing that one of the most impor-
tant meetings yet held by the Good
Government organizations county CEN
tral committee will take place in SYM
phony hall, 232 South Hill street, next
Monday evening at s o'clock.
The letters sent out by George Baker
Anderson, the newly elected secretary
of the organization, state that the
meeting is Of extreme Importance, in
asmuch as the central committee at
this meeting is to decide on the ques-
tion of indorsing candidates for the
third, or nonpartisan, good government
ticket, which it is expected Will De
headed by Thomas Lee Woolwine, the
Democratic candidate for district attor-
ney, who is running against j. ID. Fred
ericks, incumbent, on the KepuoIlcah
ticket.
All members of the central commit
tee are urged to be present at the meet
ing, as it is likely there will be many
important questions to decide relative
to the merits of the various Candidates
whose names may come up for consld-
GRAFTON by the committee.
The subcommittee appointed by the
executive committee to consider the
various nominees and decide as to the
character and qualifications of the men
on both tickets has completed lts re-
port it is said. but so far nothing, is
known as to what the report VIII be,
and any conjecture as to the identity
of the candidates which the committee
may recommend for Endorsement can
not have much foundation, as all the
members of the committee have main
tained absolute silence and positively
refuse to discuss the matter. The pub
iished statement in one of the morning
newspapers, therefore, that ten Demo
Gratis had been indorsed IS apsoIutely
without basis or verihoation.
since the meeting of the committee
Tuesday there have been many wild
rumors afioat in political circles, ana
the committee seems anxious to correct
these reports.
Until such time as the central com
,nittee meets and acts on the question
Of Endorsement, there will be no infor-
nation given out by any of the COM
mittee, and any reports as to indorse-
nents, etc, should not be needed. IL
is considered extremely important
however, that every member of the CEN
traI committee should attend the meet
ing next Monday evening.

WEDDING To END
ROMANCE OF NAVY
Miss Swift to Wed Paymaster
AuId, Who Acted in Defense
of Her Friend
Especial TO The Herald

BOSTON, May 1S,-The announce
ment from Washington that Miss
Madeline Swift, daughter of Rear Ad-
miral Swift, is to wed George Percival
Aud, paymaster in the marine corps,
has caused little surprise among Miss
Swift's friends here. Since Paymaster
Aud and Surgeon Robnett were court
martialed for knocking down DR.. E. S.
Cowles, a cousin of Rear Admiral
Cowles, because, as the accused men
charged, DR.. Cowles had spoke insinu-
atingly of Miss Dorothy Hesler,
Chicago friend of Miss Swift, who was
visiting In Maiden, 1t has been known
that Miss Swift had turned her af-
fections from Harry Duer Storer OF
Atlanta to Aud. When Storer arrived
in Boston to make arrangements for
the wedding he was informed that the
ceremony would be indefinitely post
poned, and at the court martial Miss
Swift's testimony that DR.. Cowles had
placed Miss Hesler in an embarrassing
position aided materially in the de-
fense of Auld and Robnett. Since the
trial of the two officers Miss Hesler
has become the bride of Robnett and
the announcement of the approaching
marriage of Miss Swift and Aud viii
complete the romance which started
when the prospective groom cham
pioned the friend of the br1de-to-be.

STOPS SMELLING
OF BLUEF|ELDS
Commander of Gunboat Paducah
Orders No Bombardment
by General IriaS
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Com-
mander Gilmer of the United States
gunboat Paducah has served notice on
General Irias. who is in command OF
the Venus that he will not permit q
bombardment of the city of Bluefields
Nicaragua, and he has also notified
General Estrada and President Mad
riz that he Will not permit any armed
conflict within the city.
These notices were sent after Irias
had given notice of his intention to
lombard the city should General Es-
trada not surrender.
General Estrada, it is learned. has
refused to comply with the demand for
surrender.
Mr. Moffat, consul at Bluefields,
telegraphed yesterday that the Venus,
with 300 men and mounted guns on
board, had reached Bluefields.
A demand for the surrender of the
city and the customs house at the bluff
were made through the gunboat Padu-
cab and the consulate. The demand
stated that if the surrender was re-
fused Bluefields would be bombarded.
Commander Gilmer served notice that
for the purpose of protecting the lives
and property of Americans and other
foreigners in Bluefields he demanded
first that there should be no armed
conflict in the city; second, that only
such armed forces not exceeding 1OO
men be allowed in Bluefields as were
necessary for purposes of police duty
until a stable government was estab-
lished; third, no bombardment of the
city be permitted. since there was nc
armed force in Bluefields and such
bombardment would result only in the
destruction of the lives and property
of American and other foreign non
combatants.
Mr.. Moffat also reports that Estrada
has replied to Irias refusing to sur
render.
The steamship Dictator of New Or
leans was Just entering the port wher
Mr.. Moffat telegraphed and notice OF
the blockade was being served on hel
by the commander of the Venus.

TRIES NEW REVOLVER;
LITTLE SON IS VICTIM
Child Has Narrow Escape from
Death When Father Ex-
perimentS with Gun

While examining a new automatic
pistol at his home, 1412 Rich street,
last evening r. Q. Hughes, superinten-
dent of an irrigation gang at Whittier,
forgot there was a bullet left in the
chamber, pulled the trigger and shot
his 3-year-old son Howard in the right
side of the abdomen.
Fortunately the shot was a glancing
one, and although 1t was first thought
the bullet had penetrated the body, ex-
animation at the receiving hospital
showed that a four-inch penetration
of the abdominal wall resulted. The
police surgeons state the child will
recover.
Hughes purchased the pistol yester-
day and last night was studying its
mechanism. He had removed the bull
let's from the magazine, not realizing
another remained in the chamber. AS
he was pulling the trigger the child,
attracted by the click of the gun,
playfully toddled toward his father.
The baby was almost opposite when
the bullet in the chamber was dis
charged, penetrating the abdominal
wall, but not the cavity.
Before leaving for the hospital the
father tossed his recently purchased
gun out of the window. vowing never
again."

Santa Clara Astronomer Says the
Sunspots and Long-Tailed
Flyer Are Cooperative

SAN JOSE, May 1S.-Prof. Jerome
S. Rickard of the observatory of Santa
Clara college tonight issued the fol-
lowing statement:
After two months of rest, the solar
surface is showing a recrudescence OF
activity, worthy of a maximum period,
MAY IS, at 1 p. m, there could be seen
a large, intensely blue-colored spot,
convex to the westward, concave to
the eastward, in shape nearly like a
half-moon
AS a master spot, it had a retinue OF
fourteen little ones, or pores, follow
ing. in the rear of the eastern side, led
by a vanguard of one taller and bigger
than the rest. 1t was about twelve
hours east of the solar axis. West OF
the north and south line through the
center of the sun, at disc of few
degrees, stood another group of three
spots, big one and two small ones
The first and larger group is, say
eight degrees south latitude, and the
second about ten degrees same lati-
tude.
The largest black spot measures 2S6,
31S by 1878 miles. The smaller grouT
appeared May IL and was single; ther
became triple. The larger group was
first seen May Is on eastern limb as
q family of seven, then of nine, May
16, or eight, May II, finally of fifteen
May IS.
Why this sudden change on the stal
of day? 1t may be held, it has beer
held. it is we'll nigh demonstrated, that
the rise and the wane of sun spots and
faculae is due to planetary influence
The greatest of the worlds long-range
forecasters is going by the planets
positions. I go by the sunspots anc
faculae. Our dates always agree,
Therefore, planets and sunspots are
indissolubly connected.
Halley's comet may be viewed an6
ranks as a formative planet.
Therefore, it must have a reactive in
fiuence on the sun and consequently

festations at 6:25 p. m, on the two in

DISTURBANCE ON SUN
MAY EXTEND To EARTH

VALLEJO, May 1S.-Prof. T. ]. ].
See of the United States naval observ-
atory at Mare Island tonight reported
the following observations on sun
spots:
Great sun spots were noted at p.
m. here today. The largest spot was
slightly northeast of the sun center.
and was made up OF three parts rough
ly joined together by bridging, such as
characterizes complicated spots. This
seemed to indicate that the disturb
ance of the sun is destined to last sew
eral days 1t appears to be increasing
in magnitude, and to be of the vortex,
or whirlpool type which often gives
rise to disturbances to the earth's mag
netism.
"The sun spots will reach the SUMS
central meredian in another day or
two and if any disturbance of the
earths magnetism is to occur from
this cause, it is likely to come about
Friday The spots now seen are not
believed to have any connection with
the comet, and if any aurorae or cleo
trio effects occur tonight we should
probably ascribe them to the comet
rather than to the spots on the sun.
1.-THE largest spot observed at Mare
Island was estimated to be $4,000 miles
long and $4,000 miles wide"
