proportion to the total vote cast, and
within Los Angeles proper, was made
by the old third ward, where the fig
ures on the harbor proposition were
1887 for and only 56 against. The dis
trict which constituted the fourth.
fifth and sixth wards gave bigger ma
jorities, but not so large in proportion
to their respective totals.
Albert NJ. Norton, chairman of the
Democratic county committee. was
one of the men who were overjoyed
at the result of the vote.
1.-The very substantial majority ac-
corded the power bonds," said he, 'is
especially gratifying to me, as I was
a member of the committee from the
Democratic league which a year ago
called the attention of the mayor and
of the council to the fact that no pro-
vision had been made in issuing the
Owens river bonds for power plants.
The league was the first to raise this
point and to make plain the city's
need. AS a result of our representa-
tions to the then city. government a
board of engineers was appointed the
possibilities of power development
canVassed, and finally, at the election
just completed, the people indorsed our
stand.
"As for the harbor bonds, they
should mean the immediate construc-
ton of municipal wharves and of a
municipal railroad which should come
into the city through the river bed
right of way still, thank God, under
the city'S control. Without this rail-
road the wharves will bs useless, for
the Southern Pacific road certainly viii
make rates from the sea to Los An
geles high enough to offset the advan-
tage gained by the shipper who docks
at the city's wharves, unless, indeed,
the city by active and businesslike
competition compels an equitable tar
iff."
STEWART is GLAD
George H. Stewart, a member of the
harbor commission, said:
1.-The vote is most fratifying. We
were fortunate in being able to make
campaign of education through the
newspapers of the city. The papers
did their share and did it thoroughly.
1 believe the city is to be congratu-
lated, and heartily that the bonds
carried by so handsome q majority.
This election clears the way for an
immense development of Los Angeles
business within the next few years.
1, personally, am happy to live in a
city where the average voter contin-
ues to show discrimination and good.

Men who have worked hard in furth-
erance of the bonds were overjoyed
last night, as the returns came in, to
find the majority in their favor so
large Some of them had expected a
heavier vote, but practically everybody
was satisfied, the vote being sufficient
to secure a ready market for the Sc
curities when they shall be issued, and
to make Ii plain to congress that the
citizens of Los Angeles are for free
harbor and that they stand ready at
all times to pay their share of the
money required to achieve that end
EARLY VOTE HEAVY
The early vote all over ths city was
heavy. This, friends of the bonds in
terpreted as a good sign and the final
tabulation proved them right. 1t was
pointed out, Joo that the vote against
the bonds doubtless represents prac-
tically the full strength of the opposi-
ton. The stay-at-home vote was for
the issues and was not cast merely
because the result was regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
There are no longer ward boundaries
in Los Angeles An analysis of the
vote, however, shows that every one
of the old wards in the city returned
SuDStant1dt DOnu IlldJOrlllSS' III Ollly
one or two precincts in the entire city
was either issue denied its required
two thirds vote.
The election passed off quietly, with
little excitement and with no unpleas-
ant incidents. So thoroughly we'll as
sured were voters of the result that
there was scarcely a handful of on
lockers at the city hall to await the
returns. Among the few, however,
were George H. Stewart of the harbor
commission and A. P. Fleming, the
commissions secretary.
Before the first precinct had re-
ported Mr. Fleming predicted that the
harbor bonds would be carried by a
vote of ten to one and that the total
vote would be about the same as that
cast at the Wilmington consolidation
eletcion. His guess was close in both
instances, and his total was only
eighty-six out of the way.
Returns came in early and rapidly.
By 9:15 last night every precinct in
the city except Hollywood had re-
ported. The Hollywood judges, how
ever, their arduous labors completed,
went serenely home and to bed. The
returns never reached the city hall at
all, though the figures were finally Sc
cured over the telephone.

MISS GOULD WEEDS;

Police Eject Women from Church.
Hundreds Stand in Rain
to See Young Bride
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, April 19.-Miss Mar
jorie Gwynne Gould. eldest daughter of
GeorgeJ. Gould, and one Of the richest
girls in America, today became the
bride of an American.
In a heavy downpour of rain She was
married at 6 o'clock this evening to
Anthony j. Drexel, jr., of Philadelphia,
forming an alliance between two or
Nthe wealthiest families in the land. St.
Bartholomew Episcopal church was
thronged and police reserves kept back
the crowd of hundreds who, wet to the
skin, stood on the sidewalk for nearly
an hour to catch a glimpse of the
bride.
Two hours before the wedding the
church was stormed by a crowd Of
women and before the police arrived
blossoms were plucked and vines and
ferns were torn down in the rush for
souvenirs.
A funeral service was held in the
chapel adjoining the church at noon,
and many women went to the
funeral, it is said, as a ruse to gain
admittapce to the church for the we'd
ding ceremony. The sextons assistants
tried in vain to compel them to leave,
and finally the police were forced to
interfere and the women were uncere-
moniously elected. Outside, however,
braver feminine spirits stood in the
downpour regardless of soaked clothing
and ruined hats.
The ceremony. performed by Bishop
Scarborough of New Jersey, was sim
pie, and was preceded by musical
program.
The bridal party passed down the
central aisle between two rows of
twenty-four torches. These torches
were wrapped and festooned with gar
lands of pink ribbons, and were sur
mounted by bouquets of roses.
The altar was banked with 1000 Gala
lilies and boughs of apple blossoms.
Daisies were distributed about the
steps of the altar and the chancel rail.
The pillars of the church were draped
with smilax and hung with calia
mollis, a graceful pink flower. The
sides of the church and the organ loft
were hung with daisies and smilax.
Flowers of springtime also predom-
mated at the Gould home in Fifth ave-

SHIP LURUNE DAMAGED;
WIRELESS CALLS VAINLY

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.-Noth-
ing has been heard since noon today OF
the steamer Lurline of the Matson line,
bound from Honolulu to San Francisco,
which is making its way to this port
with a broken rudder. At that time the
Lurline, according to a wireless dis
patch, was 294 miles off the Golden
Gate, and reported that all was well
and that the steamer was making good
progress.
All efforts of the wireless stations
here to get a response to their calls to-
night for the Lurline have been in vain.
No uneasiness is felt, however, and ii
is believed that the wireless operators
on the steamer will "tune in" before
morning and get In touch with the
stations.
The Lurline sailed from Honolulu
last Tuesday with seventy passengers
and lost her rudder yesterday The
steamer reported by wireless that a
steering tackle had been rigged, but
asked for assistance to help her
through the narrow harbor entrance
here.

TWO SUFFRAG|STS
RESIGN POSITIONS
Oppose Active Connection of
Women of Wealth and Social
Station with Work

WASHINGTON, April 1.-two of
the "old line leaders" in the National
Suffrage association today refused to
follow the administration. Because of
opposition to certain policies of Rev.
DIR. Anna H. Shaw, president of the
organization, Mrs. Rachael Foster
Avery, first vice president, and Mrs.
Harriet Taylor Upton, treasurer, re-
signed their positions.
The designations were offered at a
meeting of the executive committee.
Both Mrs. Avery and Mrs. Upton con-
sented to serve one month longer, but
declared their successors must be ap-
pointed by that time.
Miss Shaw is strongly in favor of
having society women and women or
wealth identified actively with the suf-
frage work, while the two "insur-
gents" it is said, are opposed to this
policy.
Respectful attention was given the
speakers when they appeared today
before the committee of the senate and
house to urge their cause.
Both committees were urged to vote
on the proposition, the suffragists indi-
eating they would prefer unfavorable
action to no action.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton of Ohio
had no little fun with the house COM
mittee by begging 1t to report against
the resolution providing for consti-
tutional amendment allowing women
to vote. She said she represented
merely "wifehood and household" and
that she was "one of the best house,
keepers in the ROOM"
Gentlemen" she said smilingly,
"why don't you report against this
resolution and give us your reasons for
1t. We know you are not going to
vote for it. We know also, you are
not going to vote against us. You are
Just going to do nothing at all. You
certainly are not afraid Of us. We have
no votes and cannot hurt you. Please,
then, vote against us and tell why you
do it. Please, gentlemen, won't you
do this? This is all we ask, and it is
not very much"

TO SHORTEN W0MEN'S
SKIRTS--BUT HOW MUCH?

BOULDER, Colo, April 12.-An ordi-
nance to prohibit the wearing OF long
dresses on the streets of Boulder was
introduced in the city council last
night. 1t provides that '1t shall be
unlawful for any person whose wear
ing apparel or skirt shall be of such
length as to trail on the ground and
become a dust sweeper or otherwise
obnoxious to the public health and re-
fined taste, to appear on any sidewalk
in this city"
The document is entitled "An Ordi-
nance to Promote Public Health and
Concerning Displays on the Side
walks" which was interpreted by one
alderman to mean that IF the council
intended to define the length of skirts
one way, it must also define it the other
way"
