ii the final returns leave Roosevelt
still In the lead they will challenge
the vote of Los Angeles county where
the progressives rolled up their heavi-
est plurality and where Wallace ran
behind the other Roosevelt electors.
The final disposition of California 8
thirteen electoral votes may he decid-
ed by the courts. Democratic man
ayers, in the announcement Of their
determination to challenge the Los
Angeles county vote in the event of a
Roosevelt victory on the final count
said their action would be based not
only on the alleged counting of pro-
gressive ballots invalidated by pencil
scratches, but on alleged errors and
irregularities Of republican judges Of
election In excluding valid democratic
ballots.
James d. Phelan andh Rudolp
Spreckels today authorized the demo-
cratic state committee to offer a re-
ward of $4,000, to any one supplying
evidence leading to the conviction of
any person on charge Of perpetrating
election frauds: According to the
terms Of the offer, this reward will be
paid for each conviction.
The wide discrepancy in the COM
plete returns from Los Angeles coun-
ty as compared with earlier returns
a change that wiped out an apparent
lead Of approximately 5000 votes for
Wilson in the .state-was due in part
to switch in the method of tallying
the popular vote. At the outset the
record was made. UP from the vote cast
for the head of each electoral ticket.
Later. when 1t became apparent that
many progressives had not voted for
Wallace, the. first Roosevelt elector,
progressive. leaders demanded Of the
county clerk a recount in which a vote
cast for any elector in the progressive
column was tailed as vote for
Roosevelt.

Was KILLED
Honduran Trouble Maker
Was Slain in Skirrnish
With Government.

Tsgucigalpa. Honduras, Nov. O.
General Jose Maria valadares. the
noted revolutionist. who at times has
caused much trouble to the govern
ments of Honduras and Nicaragua.
has fomented his last uprising. He
was killed yesterday by government
troops IN a skirmish near Ojojona, his
native town. which lies twenty-five
miles southwest of Tegucigalpa.
The last uprising Of Valadares was
short lived. He started it yesterday
near Ojotona. and Immediately came
In contact With the government troops
in a short. sharp skirmish, in which
he was shot. His death ended the
outbreak.
Valadares hated foreigners. espe-
|cially Americans. In 1901. when
Fenton R. McCreery. the new Ameri-
can minister. reached Amapala Presi-
dent Davila wired the comma ndant of
that port. General Valadares, to re-
ceive Mr.. McCreery officially and ac-
cord him proper honors. Valadares
replied that he would not receive any
Of Taft's dogs with any honors' and
Davila was compelled to entrust the
according Of honors in his name to
several Germans. valadares later
threatened the lives Of foreigners and
was ordered deposed.
Valadares. however, came out in
open rebellion against the Davila
government and state Of siege was
declared. British, German and Amer
ican war vessels were sent to Amapala
to protect the interests of their ma
tionals. and landed forces. These
were not compelled to interfere in the
situation however for shortly after
wards Vafadares surrendered and was
ordered to leave the country. He
went to Nicaragua.
Valadares next was heard Of as rev.
lutionist when. In March of this year,
he crossed the Saliva dorian frontier
with his forces and captured the, town
Of Aramencia. He was defeated by
the government troops on March at
Comayagua. but escaped to the noun
tains There he encountered General
Juan Ramon Soto. prominent Hon
duran general who was Ill in he'd, and
assassinated him and n companion.
Regathering his scattered forces
Valadares continued harassing the
government forces until March 81.
when at Horac he was decisively
beaten. Again he succeeded in fleeing
the country and had not been heard
of since until he started the revolt
at Ojojona which resulted in his
death.

prisoner authorities cared to discuss
the mtater today. They have. how
ever. on more than one occasion ad-
mitted that dynamite was found hid
den within the prison walls. During
the time the militia was guarding the

the leading officials. in the presence of
newspaper men. discussed plans to
prevent possible prison deliveries If
convtcts or confederates succeeded in
touching off explosives.

that the Russian popular feeling will
force the government to take the part
of the Slavic states. and in this she
