cere in his fight against Herrin and
the Southern Pacific company.
I'm the face of this he began three
weeks ago by vile insinuations to as
sail my reputation for good faith in
my battle against the same interests
and then finally charged that 1 was
the chosen candidate of Herrin.
"This charge has not been sustained
by one fact or circumstance in my
whole life or public record. Then to
crown his unjust accusations he stated
that, four years ago when I was doing
my best to drive Herrin from the pub
lie life of California he was fighting
the grafters of San Francisco and that
I failed to render aid in their prose-
cution.
For the first time I then challenged
the truth of his declarations, and 1
have been compelled to ask him GER
tain questions about that graft prose-
cution which if answered will show
that it was not patriotism, but pro-
fessional hire that put him into the
prosecution of Ruef and Schmitz. Let
him answer these questions squarely,
and then desist from his unjust assault
upon me, and we will try to finish this
fight in manly, decent and dignified
manner.
MY greatest desire is that this con-
test be settled by the calm judgment
of the voters of California, unaffected
by personal abuse or vilification."

DIRIGIBLE
CROSSES CHANNEL
Voyage in Air from Compeigne to
London Is Accomplished
in Six Hours
Associated Pressl

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Another chapter
was added to the history of aviation
today when the French dirigible ball
loon, Clement -Bayard, made the voy-
age from Compiegne to London in the
remarkable time of six hours, jour-
ney requiring seven hours by the fast
est express trains and boats. Com
piegne is forty-five miles northeast of
Paris and about 1876 miles by air route
to London.
1t was the first occasion on which
a dirigible balloon has crossed the
English channel. The passage over
the water occupied forty-hve minutes.
The Clement -Bayard, with a crew of
six men, left Compiegne at 7:15 a. m.
and reached London without a stop
at about 1:15 p. m. The atmospheric
conditions were perfect and there was
a slight breeze behind. The behavior
of the airship was splendid and the
forty-five horsepower motor worked to
perfection. The passengers expert
enced no discomfort.
An altitude varying from 300 to 700
feet was maintained and all along the
fight over the land the aeronauts were
cheered by thousands of spectators
The balloon made a safe and easy
landing at Wormwood Scrubs.
The dirigible carried M. Clement or
the -Bayard firm, in command;
Baudry and lie Prince, steersmen; Sc
batter, engineer and designer; two
mechanics and Arthur Philip du Cros,
member of the British parliament, rep
resenting the British parliamentary
aerial defense committee. Only seven
were aboard, although the airship can
accommodate thirty-nine passengers in
addition to the crew.
The French government provided
three torpedo boats, which followed the
dirigible across the channel.
The balloon arrived over London just
as the streets were filled with the great
Sunday crowds leaving the churches.
Hundreds of thousands gathered to
watch the end of the flight.
The aeronauts experienced some
trouble with varying air currents. On
this account they circled st. Paufs
and the Tower bridge twice, Dipped
several times and flew close to the
tops of buildings. They passed over
the houses of parliament and along
to Hyde park, where there was wild
scramble of spectators The dirigible
landed safely after describing large
descending circles.

TWO SMALL ITALIAN GIRLS
ARRIVE ALONE, FRIENDLESS

Weeping bitterly and clasping their
dollies to their breasts, two small
italian girls attracted the attention of
kindly disposed persons in the waiting
room of the Arcade station last night
who investigated and learned that the
children arrived from San Francisco
to visit their sick mother and were
unable to find the person who was
supposed to meet them.
Joseph Minetti of the Orsatti Steam
ship company, who was on the train
that brought the little girls to Los An
geles, took the discOnsolate ones to the
central police station and stated their
case to Lieutenant Murray.
It appears that the children, Leora
Bonetti, aged II, and Rose Bonetti,
aged 13 have been inmates of Catho-
lie home in San Francisco for more
than a year Their mother came to
Los Angeles more than six months ago
to make a home for them and week
ago wrote for them to come to Los
Angeles and join her The money for
their transportation was sent and the
little ones were notified that some one
would be at the station to meet them.
They arrived only to find that they
had been neglected.

TACOMA WILL ASK
CENSUS RECOUNT
Sound City viii Wire Washington
Protest Against Enumera-
ton Director Durand
ASSOCIATED Pressl

TACOMA, Oct 16.--Protests against
Census Director Durands allowance
of S2,972 as the population of Tacoma
and the demands for a recount will
be wired to Washington tomorrow by
the chamber of commerce and the
Commercial club.
A direct appeal will most probably
be made to Director Durand, but many
of the civic bodies are urging that the
city go over his head and appeal to
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel. or to President Taft.
Indignation is expressed against
Special Agent Mckenzie because of
the hurried manner in which the re-
count check is said to have been made
1t is not thought here that the charges
of fraud against Special Agent Stacey
NJ. Corwin will be sustained. Corwin
received a straight per diem remu-
neration of IS, and could not have ben
Gifted financially through a fraudu-
lent recount.
Four days after the census began it
was concluded by local organizations
that with only seventy-three enumera-
tors the entire city could not be
counted in the fifteen days allowed.
DISTRIBUTE 100000 BLANKS
At that juncture the civic organiza-
tons took a hand, distributing upward
of 250,000 blanks containing the regular
census questions, but not of official
form.
Toward the close of a census a per-
feet flood of the special slips began
coming in as the civic organizations
increased the supply of special emu
meratOrs.
Corwin had charge of the comparing
Of these slips with the regular sehed-
ules, but was unable to keep pace
with the supply. He asserted at the
time that the names were all bona fide,
but that there was not time to enter
all on the regular schedules by the
districts in which their address was
given.
So, rather than not have them in

secured during the last few days to
be entered promiscuously. Thus, when
Special Agent Mckenzie began his re-

To SHOW STRUCTURAL
WORK Of ALL COUNTIES
Industrial Materials Will Be Ex-
hibited in Ferry Building
at San Francisco
Especial to The HERALD

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 16.-The per-
manent exhibition of the structural
and industrial materials of the state
Lewis E. Aubury has arranged for,
having in view a practical lesson in
the promotion of home industry, is
progressing toward the stage of actual
installation in the Ferry building at
the foot of Market street, San Fran
cisco. In this exhibition all counties
that have structural or industrial ma
terials of mineral origin in their bor-
ders will be invited to take part. The
show is for the purpose of upbuilding
California It will be in the building
through which more persons pass daily
than any other in California. 1t is
the most accessible place in San Fran
cisco, being at a point reached by all
the car lines and where nearly all
overland travel westbound and the
greater part of the travel eastbound
converges. For this reason the exhi-
bition will be seen by hundreds OF
thousands of visitors every year 1t
will be where architects and owners
of realty and public officials and all
others interested in building construc-
tion can reach it with the minimum of
exertion and with the greatest econ
omy of time.
Preliminary to the actual installa-
ton the state mineralogist has sent a
representative, w. w. Thayer, to
Southern California to talk the mat
ter over with those directly interested
as producers. This representative has
visited all central points in the south
ern part of the state and will now call
upon and talk with the producers in
the central and northSrn portions of
California. Producers are showing a
lively interest in the exhibit that prom
ises to accomplish large benefits for
the state. The architectural details
of handsome facade that have been
worked out show that the exhibition
will be finely installed. This part Of
the work has been undertaken by the
manufacturers of terra Gotta. acting
in conjunction with the architect. The
importance of promoting interest in
the exhibition in every possible way
is illustrated by the statement that in
a period of twenty-three years the pro"
duction of structural and industrial
materials of the state of mineral ori-
gin has represented a market value
of Sill, ,0S2 $40 and this great sum rep
resents a score of active branches Of
great local industry.

WILL STAND TEST
Enumeration Says There Is No
Question of Correctness of
Los Angeles Returns
USED CARE IN COMPILING
Northwest Padding May Delay
Report of City'S POpuIa-
ton Till Next Month
USED CARE IN COMPILING

"The discovery of padding in the
census figures Of several cities of the
northwest will not affect the census
returns of Los Angeles declared Cen
sus Supervisor Bert L. Farmer last
night. THE figures we turned in to
the government are absolutely correct
and will stand any sort of test. A few
days ago, in answer to an inquiry that
l sent to the census bureau regarding
when the people here might expect to
get the returns, 1 received a letter
saying that because of padding in re-
turns from the northwest there might
be delay in giving out the figures on
Los Angeles. 1t was intimated that
because of the padding in the north
western cities a bureau expert might
be sent out here to check over our re-
turns, but such an official has not ar
rived, and there was no positive in
formation that he would be sent.
do not believe that any government
investigator has attempted to go be-
hind the figures we turned in.
Mr.. Farmer stated that from let
ters he had received from Washington
he did not believe the census figures
for Los Angeles would be made public
before the first of next month. lie
said that the discoveries of padding in
the northwest had considerably de-
layed the work or tne government OH
cials in going over the returns, and
that unusual care was being exer-
cised in checking over the returns at
Washington.
Mr.. Farmer declined to comment on
the alleged padding of the returns OF
Tacoma, Seattle and Aberdeen, Wash;
Portland, Ore; Minneapolis, Mimi;
Boise, Idaho, and Fort Smith, Ark.
He said, however, that a great deal of
care had been exercised in taking the
census here, as it was realized that
this citys advance in population would
appear so large as to invite scrutiny.
He expresses conviction that there
would be no difficulty in fully sub
stantiating the figures turned in from
this city, and says that the methods
alleged to have been used in padding
the census in the northwest were not
used here by any of the enumerators
Farmer says that by far the majority
of the people of this city live in their
own homes, and that the proportion of
"boarders" and "lodgers''-the type
used in the alleged stuffing in the
northwest-is probably smaller here
than in any other large city in the
country.

a recount of the population has been
broached, do not look upon the idea

No Sermon on Sunday.

Topeka, Kan, April IS. Does the
preaching of a sermon on the Sab
bath for pay, the singing in a church
for compensation and the playing
the church organ for money on the
Lords day constitute a breaking of
Topeka's Sunday anti-labor law?
Mayor Ballard says these things
are just as much an infringement
of the ordinance as the working of
actors, actresses and stage hands
who are now prohibited from fol-
lowing their vocations Sunday.
Mayor Billiard also calls attention
to the operation of street cars on
the Sabbath and to open drug
stores, cigar stores, peanut stands
and soda fountains. The plain in
ference is that he expects to make
Topeka the highest" blue law town
in christendom unless the people
repeal the present anti-labor law.

Children Slaughtered.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 17.-As
a result of investigations made in
this city, it has been discovered
that 100 children, inmates of Block
ley, the great Philadelphia hospital,
and of St. Vincent's Home for Or
phan Children, mostly very young
infants, and even babies less than
a year old, have been used as hu-
man material" for pursuit of ex-
perlmental research by physicians
of the William Pepper Laboratory
of the University of Pennsylvania.
Following the incubation of the
babies an epidemic of measles broke
out at the hospital and it was adj
mitted by the sisters in charge that
IS per cent of the infants died.
This unusual percentage of mortal
ity is said to be due to the inocula-
ton, rather than to a disease that
rarely results fatally.
After the experiments we're con-
Cluded it was announced by the
physicians in The Archives of In
ternal Medicine, published by the
American Medical Association, that
the results were such as to render
part of the practices unjustifiable in
medicine, the eXperimenters admit
ting, over their own signatures, that
on beginning the tests they had no
knowledge of the serious results
their use entailed.
They admitted that permanent
disabilities of vision were such as
to follow one experiment they prac-
ticed on one orphan, and one test
might lead to the destruction of the
CyColSllt'
The result of this campaign of
experiment on helpless, destitute
and orphan babies was to bring
about friction between the manage
ment of the hospital and the ply
sicians in charge of the medical de-
partment, which resulted in the
resignation of the entire Board of
physicians" -. 1919. q. &C.. ...-,-

Who Pays?

Did you ever think about it?
Who pays for the advertising of
merchants and other business men?
Not the advertiser, for the cost is
returned to him two-fold in increas-
ed profits. Not the purchaser, for
he buys cheaper from the adver-
tiser and has a better assortment
and fresher goods to select from.
Who, then. really pays the adver-
Using bills? The non advertiser, of
course. A just proportion of the
money he loses by his lack of en-
terpriSe finds way eventually to the
printer, to advance the cause of ed
ucation and the interests of the
community Who pays for that
advertising which attracts the peo-
pie OF this town to other towns?

that trade, but in that loss pays
for the other fellows ADVERTISING
