Gotch arrived early. Jeffries is
particularly fond of Gotch since their
association on the stage before JEFF

Frank is the greatest wrestler that
ever locked arms with an opponent
and Gotch has the same opinion of

Jeffries' inclination is to direct his
own movements from now until he faces
johnson. He was asked today whether
he planned to do any more work.
Il couldn't say" he replied. 'If

STUBS AT JUNCTION.
Governor Well Received and Good
Meeting Held.

Junction City, Kan. July Gov
ernor Stubbs made a characteristic
speech here last night, and extended
no mercy to any of the men opposing
him. He named them, then told why
they were opposing him. The crowd,
which was large one for a political
gathering in Junction City. listened to
him and was apparently in hearty sym
pathy.
The governor arrived from Con-
cordia, and was met at the station by
2. H. Hemenway, president of the local
Stubbs club. and Mayor Muenzenmay-
err who is a candidate for the legis-
lature, and a committee made up of
other professional and business men
In the afternoon he visited his friends
This county gave Stubbs majority
of only SO two years ago and his
friends claim he will carry by much
larger majority. G. w. Schmidt, repre-
sentative from Geary county, is d
wagstaff man, and says Wagstaff will
carry the county. E. H Hemenway,
president of the Stubbs club, says
Stubbs will carry the county by a
greater majority than he received two
years ago.
The Woodman band gave a concert
in the park before the governor began
talking.

ION OF J. Ogden Armour who with his
wife arrived today on the steamer La
provence from an automobiling tour
In france. Mr.. Armour said he would
leave at once for Chicago.
L do not think there will be a ma

crop or corn is harvested and until, I
may add, we get a new crop of live
stock, said Mr.. Armour, when asked
ABOUT possible reductions in food COM
monty prices. THE latter matter is
Que which is seldom seen in its true

At any rate it has not been given due
significance in agitations which have
sprung up recently in regard to the

Mr. Armour characterized as "ridi-
culous and untrue" published reports
that large quantities of meat were be-

the attorney general and the governor
would readily agree to an investiga-

quite certain when that investigation
was finished that it would not be the
same kind of showing that was made
by an investigation, or audit, by the
present accountant of the different of
fees in the state house. under a for
mer administration, whereby those of
fees were compelled to pay back into
the state treasury thousands of dol
lars that had been grated for the per-

fees.

not fact that practically all of the

REFUSES TO ATTACK RIVAL
Audience Which Packed Theater
to Hear Democratic Standard
Bearer Wildly Applaud Him
Especial to The Herald

VALLEJO, Oct. 13.-Theodore A. Bell
made a triumphal entry into the town
of his birth tonight For more than
two hours the town was in the glare
of red fire and rockets to receive him.
Men who knew him when he was a
poor farmers son struggling for an ed
ucation crowded about him to grasp
his hand ard to wish him victory In
his candidacy for the goVernorship OF
California. The reception surpassed
even the enthusiastic greeting accorded
President Roosevelt several years ago.
Visitors came by special trains, auto
mobiles, farm wagons and afoot. one
train from Suisun brought more tnan
300 persons and 200 came from Napa
alone.
The meeting was held in the Farra-
gut theater and 1t was necessary to
call out the entire police force to con-
troll the crowd. The theater was
packed far in excess OF its seating ca
pacity of 1900 and Georgia street was
blocked with @ crowd estimated at 1000
or more. 1t was necessary to arrange
an overflow meeting in order that Bell
and his running mate, Timothy Spell
lacy, might appear to acknowledge the
tumultuous greeting and present their
message.
TURNS TABLES ON OPPONENT
Bell replied to Hiram Johnson's in
situations that he is not free from
railroad control. He propounded the
following questions to the Republican
nominee
when were you retained as special
prosecutor in the San Francisco graft
cases?
by whom were you retained and by
whom were you paid?
when was the first indictment re-
turned against Ruef and Schmitz?
did you know that Ruef served as
one of the campaign committee hav-
ing Gillett's fight in charge until the
end Of the campaign
lis 1t not fact that your prosecu-
ton of Ruef and Schmitz was a pro-
fessional matter for hire and not a
matter of patriotism?
do you think 1t was within my
province to interfere at. that stage,
when Mr. I.angdon, the district at
torney and sworn prosecutor had time
to campaign the state as present
candidate?"
The questions hurled at johnson set
off the enthusiasm of the audience and
for several minutes there was wild
demonstration.
''I will make no personal attack on
Johnson" said Bell. 81 have left in
structions at headquarters that he be
treated as a gentleman. Throughout
this campaign l have said hundred
times that I accord him the respect of
believing him sincere. If I can't win
without villifying my opponent, don't
want to win"

Enthusiastic Reception

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-By an
audience that filed Dreamland rink to
overf1owing, Hiram johnson, Republi-
can candidate for governor, was well
coined home tonight after his tour
covering the greater part of the state.
Johnson's appearance brought an out
burst of applause that continued for
several minutes. The demonstration
was repeated when the party leader
took his place on the platform.
City Attorney Percy v. Long pre-
sided. Following q brief address by
A. j. Wallace of Los Angeles, candi-
date for lieutenant governor, Johnson
was introduced. He spoke for about
forty-five minutes. His speech rang
with denunciation of those who had
corrupted state politics. He renewed
his campaign pledge-the elimination
of railroad influence from state af-
fairs. The speaker again referred to
his opponent, Theodore Bell, inquiring
what the Democratic standard bearer
had done when civic uncleanliness in
San Francisco was exposed.

tIing Old Account

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 13.-The chief Of
police was notified today that Ypifanio
Ga1lego, a cattle dealer of Sonora,
Mexico, had been shot from ambush

he appears here. Gallego was a part
ner of Morales in the cattle business
in this county years ago and was in
strumental in causing the capture Of
Morales, who had killed a deputy
sheriff near Los Angeles. For that Of
Tense Morales was sent to prison for
ten years. He was recently released,
and shortly afterward, coming to this
city, is reported to have declared he
would never rest until he had squared
accounts with Gallego.

that Gallego when dying declared his
belief that Morales was the man who
shot him.
