SAN BERNARDINO VOTERS
BOYCOTT WATER WAGON
SaIoonists Celebrate Victory by
Closing Up Shops-BuSineSs
Men Win Fight

SAN BERNARDINO, April 25.-The
"wets" of San Bernardino won a sweep
ing victory today when by majority
of 465 votes the city cast its lot against
prohibition and defeated the proposed
ordinance that would have closed the
saloons
Each of the five wards Of the city re-
turned a majority for the ''wets." The
total majority exceeded by $50 votes the
estimate of the saloon mems campaign
ers. Out of the 2506 votes, the largest
number ever polled in ali election in the
city, 1864 were cast for the "wets" and
999 for the "drys."
Not even after the polls closed at 6
o'clock did the "drys" concede defeat.
The "wets" at that hour claimed vic
tory by a majority of about 300, conced-
ing two of the largest wards in the city
slightly dry. In the supposed strong
holds of the prohibitionists the vote
went against them.
San Bernardino now remains the only
wet" city for a radius of many miles.
Almost as a unit the business men OF
the city stood for the continuation of
the present policy of licensing saloons.
and without a doubt it was their in
fiuence that won the fight for the liquor
interests. Their views were given to
the public in published interviews. The
eighteen saloons of the city tonight, in
stead of joyously celebrating the vic
tory, are discreetly remaining closed.
The detailed vote is: F'irst-ward, 172
wet, II dry; Second, 247 wet 1913 dry;
Third, S67 wet, 100 dry; Fourth, 27S
wet, 243 dry; Fifth, 400 wet, 327 dry.

SLAYER OF WIFE TRIES
TO END HIS OWN LIFE

In a desperate fight with Patrolman
Craig, in the upper tank of the city
Jail early yesterday morning, Ernest
Wirth, who stamped out his wife's s
brains Friday in the TraVers house,
Fifth and Crocker streets, was over
come and prevented from carrying out
a carefully planned plot to end his
life.
After his arrest Wirth boasted he
would end his life in the Jail. For this
reason a patrolman has been in con-
stant watch before his cell night and
day His feet have been chained to his
bed and his hands bound in cuffs.
Wirth had been feigning Illness and
receiving medical attention from the
police surgeons. On the preteXt that
he wished to go to the toilet room his
leg irons and cuffs were removed. Ac-
companied by Patrolman Craig he
started along the hallway, apparently
in a weakened condition.
With a sudden spring he jumped from
Craig and sprang to the top of the
toilet room. Then he dived head first,
intending to dash out his brains on
the concrete floor.
atrolman Craig caught the man be-
fore he struck the floor. A fierce fight
followed, and the scuffle attracted the
attention of Jailor Boaz. 1t was with
difficulty that Wirth was overcome by
the two men, led back to his cell and
securely bound. AS a result of his at
tennis to end his life, and as three
natrolmen were detailed to guard the
prisoner, his preliminary hearing, orig
inallv set for Thursday, was changed
10 ii o'clock this morning.

SHE LIKES DYNAMITE,
BUT OH, YOU LEG 0 LAMB
See What Happened to the Land
lady and Her Hungry
BoarderS

NEW YORK, April 25.-When Mrs.
Elizabeth Jones, who keeps a boarding
house at No. 1857 Broadway, Brooklyn,
told her paying guests that there would
be a leg of lamb with mint sauce for
dinner Sunday they were pleased. 1t
happens that Mrs. Jones boarding
house is one of those rare establish
ments in which the boarders' tastes
agree. The five boarders said they
could hardly wait for Sunday to come,
so anxious were they to partake of the
lamb.
Seated at the table with anticipatory
smiles lighting up their visages the
boarders saw the lamb carried in Sun
day night. 1t was flanked by new po-
tatoes, new asparagus and other SUD-
sidiary dishes and it looked very tempt
ing-very tempting, indeed.
Mrs. Jones lifted knife daintily and
prepared to apportion the delicacy
among the hungry boarders. AS she
held the knife over the lamb the lamb
exploded-blew up like a Black Hand
bomb. One of the flying fragments hit
the new white waistcoat one of the
boarders wore for the first time. A
cross section landed on a new spring
gown. The rest of it went all over
the place. There was no salvage and
Mrs. Jones was distressed beyond ex-
preston.
She caused the arrest of David Kahn,
a butcher of No. 1927 Broadway, from
whom she bought the lamb. She told
Magistrate Harris Kahn had given her
the money back and she had given him
the wreckage of the lamb. 9 Magistrate
Harris, who does not think explosive
legs of lamb should be sold, held the
butcher in $500 bail for hearing.
Poor Mrs. Jones says she has had ex-
perience with dynamite, isn't afraid of
it and never was. but in the parlance
of the street the 'leg o. lamb effectual-
ly got her goat"

GOV. HUGHES HOPS
ON To BIC BENCH
Welcomes Chance to Become AS
Sociate Justice of U. S.
Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, April 25.-President
Taft late today received from Governor
Charles r. Hughes of New York let
ter accepting a rendered appointment
as an associate justice of the supreme
court of the United States.
Five minutes after the letter was
handed to the president the nomination
of Governor Hughes was on its way to
the senate. That body had adjourned
for the day, however, when the papers
reached the capitol, so the senate Will
not hear officially of the designation of
Governor Hughes to succeed the late
David ]. Brewer until tomorrow.
While it is expected Governor hughes
will be confirmed with little or no de-
lay it is understood here he will re-
main as the chief executive of New
York until October and will not take
the oath of his new office until the fall
term of court opens, the second Mon
day in that month. That recent dis
closures regarding corruption and graft
in the New York legislature filled Gov
ernor Hughes with disgust and indig-
nation made him welcome an oppor-
tunity to sever relations with Repub-
llcan politicians in New York is ad-
mitted.
There has been much speculation ever
since 1t was first intimated Governor
Hughes would be rendered place on
the supreme bench as to whether his
appointment would take him out of the
fall campaign in New York, where Re-
publican leaders say he is very sorely
needed
President Taft would not discuss this
phase of the case today. He has been
anxious to secure the best man he
could for the supreme court vacancy,
and he feels he has done so. He was
much elated over Governor Hughes ac-
ceptance and tonight said:
II am very much delighted to secure
Governor Hughes for the bench. He
is a man Of wide experience and
marked ability and it is a mighty val
liable thing to have on the great bench
of the supreme court a man of af-
fairs. Governor Hughes is As years old,
1 think, and even If he should retire
at 70 he would have twenty-five years
of solid usefulness on the bench"
The news of the appointment and ac-
ceptance of Governor Hughes reached
the Justices of the court just as they
were adjourning for the day. All were
surprised and pleased.
II am delighted" said Chief Justice
Fuller
"A fine appointment" said Justice
Harlan.
Il am delighted to hear it," declared
Justice White.
governor Hughes is a man of high
character and great ability" was JUS
tice McKenna's comment.
Justice Lurton smiled; no longer
would he be the newest member of the
court.
Members of the New York congress
sionaI delegation received with satis
faction the news of the appointment.
Speaker Cannon declined to comment
on the appointment, but Representa-
tive Champ Clark said;
"It is a good appointment. Cover
nor Hughes is a strong man."

EXCLAIMS WILLIAM J. BRYAN

LINCOLN, Neb., April 25.-Comment-
ing tonight on the appointment of Gov
ernor Hughes of New York to the
United States supreme court bench, w.
]. Bryan declared that while Governor
Hughes is believed by many people to
be a reformer, his record does not bear
out this view
Bryan says that Governor Hughes
vetoed the bill for the reduction of
railroad fares in New York; that he is
a close personal friend of Rockefeller;
that trusts have contributed largely
to his campaign expenses; that he be-
gan opposing the income tax after
Rockefeller had expressed his opposi-
tion to it and that he is friendly to
large corporate interests. Summing up,
Bryan says that while Hughes eXemph-
fies the individual virtues and demands
honesty in public service, he shows no
indignation at the larger forms of le-
galized robbery.
