California Election

San Francisco. Oct. TO- Returns
from today's constitutional amend
ments election received up to 1l:3O p.
M, confirm earlier indications that
woman suffrage has been defeated and
that the initiative and referendum
and recall, which includes the judi
ciary, have received most emphatic
endorsement by the voters OF the state.
Tine Enlargement Of the powers of the
state railroad commission also un-
doubtedly has carried, though by Il
smaller majority. The vote in favor
of placing in the hands of the electors
the power of recalling its public OFF,
cials, including the judges on the
bench, was somewhat amazing even
to the friends of that proposed con
stitutional amendment. San Fran
cisco, which voted almost two to one
against woman suffrage, votes more
than four to one in favor of the recall,
while the vote for the initiative and
referendum was almost equally large.

S. Munson Sends Threatening
Letter and United States
Officials T axe a Hand

An endeavOr to secure some easy
money by the blackmailing letter
route has landed Sweeney Munson OF
North Fowler in trouble. the active
agent In his arrest being the United
States authorities.
Some Two or three months ago Mum
son wnte To william Edgar or this
city. who had charge Of the legisla.
tive end Of the bill for the division OF
Otero county and the creation OF
Crowley county, saying that he was
advised that Edgar had appropriated
$1,000 or more OF the cnmmittee's
funds to his own use. 1t appears that
Munson at this time had IA nnte for
$500 in the First National bank Of
Ordway, and he thought he saw way
OF paying II of without personal loss.
Therefore lie wrote In this letter that
unless Mr.. Edgar took care OF this
note for him and sent him 5000 he
would cause a "public hearing" OF
the scandal he claimed to have un-
earthed.
After reading the letter Mr.. Edgar
consulted an attorney and acting upon
the lattcr's advice he turned the let
ter over to the United States postal
authorities. These have had Munson
under surveillance since then. and
when a short time ago he turned over
his property to his wife and It was
alleged was preparing to leave the
country the watch became strIcter.
The other day postal inspector was
in Fowler and was Informed that the
suspect was preparing to "hike" aud
remain away permanently, IL was sup.
posed. The inspector teleRraphed the
authorities at Denver and United
States marshal went to Fowler and
escorted Mr.. Munson to Pueblo. where
he will be tried In the United States
district court on the charge OF using
the malls for an Illegal purpose. II
Munson escapes punishment on this
charge he will still be liable to arrest
aud trial under the state statutes for
blackmail.
Munson Is we'll known in this Sec
tion. He has been Santa Fe employe
for years and has mixed In the politics
OF Otero and Crowley counties In a
small way.
There will doubtless be much rejoic-
ing among the small-fry politicians on
the south side OF the .'crick" at this
denoument. as they charged Munson
with having double crossed them on
the division matter. He recently
wrote an open letter to Governor Shat
roth grilling him for his appointments
in the new county, wherefore 1t seems
that he has an understandable passion
for inditing epistles OF one sort or an
other to prominent men.
After being taken to Pueblo Thurs
day morning Munson gave bonds and
was released pending further action in
his case. Later in the day he was In
Ordway in consultation with officials
of the First National bank.
