CITY ELECTION OF LOS
ANGELES HANGS IN DOUBT
Confession Of the McNamaras Brings
chaos-vote of Women May
ses Decide.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 5.-This city
Is holding what win be the most mo-
mentous municipality election in its his
tory. The ballot is being taken to-
day
Socialism and prohibition are the main
issues and over the whole situation lies
the shadow Of the Mcnamara dynamit-
ing case, with its stunning climax of
confessions.
job Hartman, Socialist, and former
" attorney for the Mcnamara brothers,
is candidate for mayor with full So
cialist ticket behind him.
On the other side is the good gov
eminent" ticket, headed by Mayor
George Alexander which, from top TO
bottom, yielded first place in the choice
of the voters at the primaries on Oct.
81. AT that time Hartman received a
plurality of more than 6,l00 over Alex
ander.
But the startling end of the McNa-
mara trial has thrown everything into
chaos. The confusion resulting from the
confession Of the dynamiters has left
voters in daze and the outcome Of the
balloting to-day is guess. Its decision
lies in the hands of 10000 voters, OF
whom $1,000 are women who have never
cast ballot.

THE PACKERS LAST CARD.
Counsel Asks Full Bench Of Supreme
Court for Delay in Trial.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 5.--John S.
Miller and Levy Mayer, counsel for the
Chicago beef packers, arrived in Wash
ington yesterday to play their last card,
il is believed, in the fight 10 obtain a
stay in the trial Of the packers on
charges OF having criminally violated the
Sherman antitrust law. This move was
sequel Of the trip Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Mayer made to Washington Nov. %,
to get Chief Justice White to grant
a stay. The chief Justice informed them
that the subject was of too much i'm
portance for him to pass upon individ.
ually and counsel announced they would
60 before the entire bench with their
petition. Yesterday was the first OPP
portunity to present the matter to the
court. Il was not expected that the
packers moion would come before the
court until late in the afternoon on ac-
count Of the probability that the tribu-
nal would be busy early in the day an
nouncing opinions.
Counsel for the packers had prepared
a brief ia support Of their petition in
which much reliance was placed upon
the action of the court in granting a
stay Of trial until the constitutionality
Of the federal anti-lottery act was
passed upon several years ago. '1f, in
order to ascertain the constitutionality
OF the anti-lottery act" it was argued
in the brief, this court, both upon orig
inal application for habeas corpus, and
by appeal, undertook to exercise jrris-
diction, we respectfully urge that the as
eertainment of the validity Of the anti
trust statute calls for the same proce-
dure"

pared brief in opposition to the mo.
tion of the packers He said that
stay had not been granted by the SUI
preme court Of the United States where
it was sought merely for the purpose

1T was not until two days later that

against the union" added Mr.. Gompers,
sit will be the duty of the American
Federation of Labor to investigate.
There has been lot of yaporizing
about all these suspicious. But
there has been nothing definite.
In the Los Angeles case you see what
labor does when it finds proof of guilt.
But of all these hundreds of times not
one has ever been proven TO have sprung
from a neighboring unions council. I'm
til that proof comes ignore all the ae-
cUsations as the whisperings of NAL
ieious enemies of labor.
Mr. Gompers nervously but emphati-
cally denied again that he had any ink
ling of the dynamiters' guilt before
their confession. Detective William j.
Burns has charged that Gompers knew
the truth right along and that he de-
liberately lied about Burns. Gompers

Burns name as connected with his ac-
cusation, but turned his attention to the

A Great Triumph for a Great

ELKART, Ind.--'T narrowly escaped

After three years of agony the doctor
advised that the foot be amputated In
order to save my life. Ny family
would not consent to this, but began
to give me Hoods Sarsaparilla.
'To make long story short, Hoods
Sarsaparilla effected a complete and
wonderful cure. The sores healed up,
the discharge ceased, the swelling

him last summer, spent fairly good
night at his apartments and was report
ed little better yesterday. His con-
dition is still serious, however, and it
may be week before he will be well
enough to go into court.
His counsel planned to go on with
the case as usual yesterday, calling the
remaining witnesses for the prosecution.
When they have finished either the de-
Tense will call its witnesses or adjourn
ment will be taken until Mr.. Stokes can
conclude his testimony. Aside from
the remainder of the compainant's tes-
timony, it is understood that the prose
cution has little more evidence to offer.
