certain also that DIR. Pratt will defeat
Calvin Hartwell, the machine candi-
date for coroner, and that Albert Lee
Stephens, Frank Finlayson and Perry
Wood will be elected to the superior
court bench.
AS a matter of fact, the county fight
is considered by many as of greater
Importance than that in the state, out
side of the judiciary. In the county
the issue is clearly drawn between good
government and domination by the
corrupt Southern Pacific machine.
Voters of Los Angeles have not been
slow to realize this fact, and there is
in evidence all over the county stern
determination to retire every machine
henchman on the Republican ticket to
private life. A hard fight in the county
will be that between Walter j. Des-
mond, Democratic and Good Govern
ment candidate, against w. o. Welch,
machine Republican, for tax collector.
Democratic leaders claim the entire
county ticket will be elected.
George Baker Anderson of the Good
Government organization said last
night:
"If all Good Government voters fol-
low the advice of the Good Govern
ment organization and utterly disre-
gard the party circle there is little
doubt that the ballots they cast will be
counted properly and that the entire
Good Government ticket will be elected
considerable confusion has arisen in
the minds of voters regarding the use
of the party circle. The safe thing for
voters to do is to shun it, using the
stamp opposite the name of each can
didate for whom they desire to vote,
regardless of whether the name Of such
candidate be found in the Republican,
Democratic or Good Government
circle.
at believe that the use of the party
circle by those intending to vote for
the candidates we have indorsed, ana
whose names will be found in the in
dependent column, will result in such
a confusion of marks as to cost our
candidates thousands of votes.
"It will require not more than min
ute or two to mark the ballot as we
have advised-UNDER NO CIRCUM-
STANCES STAMPING THE CROSS
WITHIN ANY PARTY CIRCLE-and
voters who want to insure the counting
of the ballots they cast should take the
time to do this.
'I am satisfied that with intelligent
voting and an honest count, Iom rom
Woolwine will carry Los Angeles city
by 1000 plurality, and that he will at
least break even in the precincts out
side the city"
Polls will open at o'clock this
morning and will remain open until 6
o'clock tonight. At one minute past
six the work of tabulating the vote
will begin. All public buildings, city
and county, will be closed throughout
the day.
The Herald has made unusually COM
plete arrangements for being the first
to secure returns, and election figures
from county, state and nation will be
flashed on a big screen in front of The
Herald office at the earliest possible
moment. Moreover, The Herald will
follow its usual custom of telling the
truth.
The full returns will be bulletined as
they are received-fairly, impartially
and accurately.

SCIENTISTS TO CONTEST.
Judge Finds Parents Guilty of Neglect
In Not Calling Physician.

Laiunta, Colo, March 21.-Judge +.
w. Mcdaniel of the Otoro county court
today rendered decision holding D.
=. Messenger and wife guilty of me
gect" in failing to call a physician
to attend three children. after three
other children in the family had died.
1t is said that followers of Mrs Mary
Baker G. Eddy will carry the case if
necessary to the highest court in the
land to have final decision regarding
the legal status of Christian Science
healing.
In the trial Of the Messenger case
Christian Science was not mentioned
but Gray Montgomery. an officer of the
Christian Science church, gave out the
following statement tonight:
"B. D. Messenger is not a Christian
Scientist; but after losing three chill
dren IN the care of physicians he fin
ally. when the three remaining chill
dren were stricken. turned wholly to
Christian Science treatment. Two
children. Martha and Mabel and the
parents were helped by Christian Sci
ence treatment. The remaining child.
Arthur. was under Christian Science
treatment when action was brought
against the parents charging them with
neglect whereby under the juvenile law
of Colorado the children became de-
pendent"

his house. The money was done I'D in a
shoe box and was to be distributed
among councimen for their votes and in
f1uence for the passage of an ordinance
by which the city would vacate a certain
street.
He pleaded no defence to the charge
in which he and John F. Klein are accus-
ed of conspiracy. DR.. Weber made
complete confession of the transaction
and said that Klein called him on the
telephone and said that a package of
money was on the way to him Asked
what he did with it. DR.. Weber said
that he gave it to about 30 or 40 coun-
cilmen. He could not remember all the
names, but rected a list which included
some of the most prominent and active
members of both select and common
councils.
The procedure was most expeditions.
Each man, as he stepped mp, was told
by the court that he held in his hand an
information entered against the defendant
by Henry Muth, chief of county detec
tives, charging him with having received
a specified amount in consideration for
his vote in councils on the ordinance or
resolution then pending.
What do you wish to do?" asked the
court.
II will waive a hearing" was the in
variable answer.
Defendant valves a hearing and is
held for court in $500 bail" said the
court and the man in question stepped
aside for another to take his place.
An indictment was then returned by the
grand jury and almost Immediately the
defendant entered a plea of nolo con
tendere.
When the confessors acknowledged that
they We're present members of counsel
Judge Frazer demanded they Immediately
resign and invariably the resignation was
written to Mayor William A. Magee be-
fore the man left the court house.
During a recess tonight District At
torney William A. Blakley gave out a
statement to the public in which he said ::
II have in my possession a complete
detailed confession from John F. Klein.
The confession has been corroborated in
many of the minutest details.
The distribution was made among so
large a number of the members of coun-
ellis and in such small sums as to indi-
spiracy and were being used tools or
pawns by those chiefly responsible.
1T was. therefore. deemed in the inter
est of the administration of justice and
especially to expedite such administra-
ton, to bring these graft prosecutions to
a final close and remove this cloud of
suspicion which has been lowering over
the community and to offer to those
councilmen who will come forward and
promptly and frankly admit the receipt
of money where they have received the
same. to ask the court to suspend SEN
tence, and where they are present mem
bers of councils to demand their resig
nations.
In all other cases, however, where the
parties stubbornly persist in their wrong
doing by demanding trial, wherever con-
victionS are obtained the court will be
asked to deal with the parties according
to their deserts. Every case which the
grand jury indicts will be pushed by the
commonwealth to plea, conviction or ac-
quittal."

evidence strongly discredting the
