supper at o'clock.
Following are a few expressions of
approval from the members of the
American Woman's league visiting the
Los Angeles chapter house made pos
sible by the Los Angeles Herald:
I have had the great pleasure of in
spectiug the beautiful bungalow of the
Los Angeles chapter of the American
Woman's league, which was won by
the combined efforts of the league
members and their friends in the re-
cent Los Angeles Herald's contest.
The bungalow is a very artistically
designed seven-room house with mod
ern equipment, surrounded by beau
tiful lawn, erected in fashionable
section of the city. The rooms are to
be used for the study of various sub
jects, such as music, languages,
physical culture, etc. A oeautltul
mahogany upright grand piano stands
in the music room, and over the piano
hangs a fine portrait Of E. G. Lewis,
the founder of the American Woman's
league. Musicals will be given fre-
ouently. The piano was won in The
Herald's contest, also a diamond ring
and a $3.50 lot at Brawley.
This bungalow will be temporarily
used by the league members until the
construction of the new chapter house.
1t is conceded that the Los Angeles
chapter is the largest and most flour
ishing in the United States. 1t has
1900 members, and Is IN line for
$5O,O00 chapter house.
Miss Van Allen, the clever and
capable local representative, and the
league members are TO be congratu-
lated upon the wonderful work Whlcn
they have accomplished. The work of

Plans on Foot to Protect the Mayor in
Future.

New York Aug. 10.-The fine con-
dition of the mayor is expected to be
of material aid to nature and the sur
geons in their fight for recovery. The
most optimistic words which those at
tending him utter are that their hopes
that the vigorous constitution which
the mayor has retained by reason of
his outdoor life and fondness for walk
ing will enable him to make a speedy
convalescence.''
+ There must be little time of wait
ing for developments" say his attend
ants. HE realizes that he may have
to put up good fight for recovery, and
is content to husband his resources.
In a talk with DR.. William ]. Arlitz
early this morning after sound sleep
of about four hours, the mayor spoke
of the many pleasant outings he had
had in the Maine and Quebec woods
and said that his unexpected decision
to go to Europe rather than to his old
hunting grounds in the north this year
had led to this trouble.
81 had anticipated much pleasure
from this vacation said the mayor
This whole thing is all wrong. I've
only tried to do my, duty. This strife
and responsibility were forced upon
me and this is what has come of it.
Mr.. Adamson, the mayors secretary,
came to the bedside and the mayor
asked if there were any newspaper
men about. When told that there
were some forty men in attendance be-
low and a great throng of Hoboken
residents gathered outside, he express
ed surprise that the matter had at
tracted so much attention.
Il think you had better stick to the
Office he told his secretary. There
will be lot of work to do over there
Yesterdays attempt on the life of
Mayor Gaynor will probably result in
the taking of greater precautions here
after to guard the person of the city's
executive. Friends of Mayor Gaynor
who realized that he was making Bit
ter enemies because. of his method of
running the affairs of the city have
frequently warned him of the danger
of going about unaccompanied- Par
ticularly, they urged him to drop his
habit of walking to and from his home
across the Brooklyn bridge. 1t was
often dark when he started his walk
over the bridge, but he always de-
clared that he had no fear of per-

Majority Program in Colorado Legisla-

Denver, Aug. 10.-The steam roller
was in good repair and so many kinks
have been Strengthened as well as fiat

session of the state legislature will do
with regard to several Democratic
platform and prediction pledges
which were left untouched at the re-
cent session of the legislature. First
the roller was directed at several
Democrats who favored a Joint caucus
between the senate and the house. The
senate Democrats being the custodian
of the roller, ignored the house Demo-
Gratis and demanded a senate caucus
In this they were successful and a pre-

1t now appears that five of the
pledges are sure of victory. one GER

that the initiative, referendum and re-

election law probably will go through,
it is said, with certain notifications,
retaining possibly the convention fea-

that the Texas bank guaranty plan
will be enacted. A plan. to take the
party labels from the ballot certainly
will fail, it is claimed, and the railway

ON VERGE OF RUIN.
BristOw Says Nothing But Insurgent
Victory Can Save the Country.

Appleton. Wis, Aug. 10.-Flaying
Aldrich and Cannon, denouncing those
Republicans who favored and fought
for the passage of the last tariff bill,
and advocating the creation of tariff
commission with sweeping powers, also
that tariff schedules on specific articles
may be changed as soon as proof ex-
lists that they are wrong, United States
Senator ]. L. Bristow of Kansas adj
dressed a crowd of several hundred
voters here last night in the second
speech of his whirlwind campaign
through Wisconsin in the interests of
La Toilette and the cause of insur-
gency.
A large portion of the senator's ad-
dress was devoted to the subject of
revision of the tariff and in this con-
nection he referred at some length
and with great emphasis to the rubber
and lead schedules in particular. He
said in part:
Under the leadership of Aldrich
and Cannon, instead of revising the
tariff, as was promised, duties were
fixed, not with view to protect legiti-
mate American industries or securing
revenue for the government but for
the purpose of promoting the financial
interests of certain individuals or con-
Germs. For instance the duty on manu-
featured rubber was increased from 80
to 35 per cent while crude rubber was
left on the free list. The advance was
made after the bill came to the senate
which Senator Aldrich is chairman.
The new tariff bill became a law Au-
gust 5. 1909. In September it was dis
covered that the organization of a
rubber trust was being contaminated
with a son of Aldrich as the executive
head.
This trust was formed by merging
a number of rubber companies then in
existence The charter of this giant
CORPORATION was executed under the
| a Nx-co Of Jersey and If a RIGHT
to do almost anything but preach the
gospel. Rubber goods Immediately in
creased 25 per cent in price to the
consumer and in three months and
organization of the company dividends
aggregating 1872 per cent were de-
clared on preferred stock large por-
ton of which is held by Aldrich him
self"
The speaker declared the stability of
the government will be tested at the
coming primaries, the most important in
the history of the nation, and said that
the integrity of this great nation will
depend upon the character of men sent
to Washington.
1.-THE Republican party can not ex-
ist,'' he said, elf it becomes subservient
to the people who seem to and have
thus far succeeded in controlling it
and the fall of the government is i'm
minent unless this battle between the
masses and interests, the Majority and
those prompted by greed and avarice
is won by the former. And If the fall
comes, the crumbling will start from
within, where corrupt and insidious in
fuences are now at work." Closing his
appeal for insurgent support, he de-
clared:
cit is our purpose to keep the party
clean as it came to our hands and not
consent to have men like Cannon and
Aldrich substituted for the immortal
! leaders-Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley and

his friends, it would be from an ir-
responsible crank.
The board of aldermen at it's next
meeting will be asked either by a pc
tition of citizens or through resolu-
ton introduced by a member, to au-
thorize permanent body guard for
the mayors person A still more
radical move which will be recon-
mended will be the passage of an or
dinance to compel all persons carry
ing or owning fire arms to obtain a
license and all dealers, manufactur-
ers and buyers to do the same. United
States Judge George C. Holt is a
supporter of this plan.
He declares that nineteen-twen-
tieths of crime and violence are the
result of the easy access which the
criminal classes have to the use of
revolvers.
The repeating pistol, he says, is

life and it would be entirely justifia BILE
for the government to prohibit the
manufacture or sale of any pistols in
this country except in national ar
mories for the use of the military and

position.
Like Gallagher, Harrisons assailant,
Eugene Patrick Joseph Prendergast,
harbored resentment because of the
continued refusal of employment lie
sought. In both cases the homicidal
mania developed rapidly, its progress
cling marked by threatening COM
munications. Neither of the men ap-
parently contemplated an effort to
escape from the police. Each con-
tended that his crime was justified by
the wrong he charged had been done
him. t
The chief difference between the cases
so far as telagrapllic reports now show
was that. while EACH assassin planned
his deed in cold blood Prendergast
showed decided symptoms of insanity
and his demand for employment was
for an appointment for which he in no
wise was fitted.
The elder Harrison was killed at his
residence, 231 Ashland boulevard, about
o'clock on the evening of Saturday,
October %. 1898, while serving his fifth
term as mayor of Chicago. He had
Eeeif warned of his danger repeatedly
. After an afternoon spent at the
worlds fair he ate his dinner at home
and lay down to rest in room aGjoin-
ing a. spacious reception hall. A ring
of the door bell was answered by
maid AID she told the mayor man
was waiting in the hall to see him.
Instead of waitines PrenGergast was
close to the door of the room in which
the mayor had been resting when it
was opeped.
Whether they spoke together never
was determined At close range Prem
dergast fired three shots, all of which
struck the mayor one in the abdomen.
one above the heart and one in the
left hand The assassin then fled
through the front door Paul Reich

CAST also shot sent four bullets after
the fugitive before losing sight of him.
Prendergast went to a police station
and surrendered, telling of his crime.
which he believed justified He was
soon convicted and hanged.

DODGES THE STRIKERS.
Steamer Adriatic Sails With Full
Force of F'iremen.

Southampton, Aug. 1O.-The steamer
Adriatic sailed for New York punctu-
ally at noon today. somewhat to the
surprise of the striking firemen who
were confident that the company
would be unable to find stokers.
The White Star line officials used a
bit of strategy. Office clerks and 9TH
er shore employees were put aboard
the ship to help get up steam, after
which the Adriatic gently dropped
down the Solent and picked up 100
firemen who had been held in wait
ing off the Isle of Wight The stoke
hole complement was thus made COM
plete and the steamer proceeded un-
der normal conditions.
From the time the strike began
Monday, when the men demanded an
increase of wages up to the hour Of
sailing today, the White Star piers
were guarded by a large police force
but there was no trouble.
