WILL AID ADMINISTRATION.
Democrats in California Support VIII
SON and Bryan.

An indication of the form Demo
cratic opposition will take to the pro-
posed Webb draft Of the anti-alien
land bill was given in the California
state senate at Sacramento Thursday
when the measure came up for final
action.
It was the original plan Of the pro-
gressive Republican majority In Its
assurance Of successful issue to
force the bill to a vote at once but at
the request of the Democrats g post
,ponement Of one day was granted at
the last minuate.
In return for the delay the admin
istratien leaders received a pledge
from the minority that it would abide
bv the results as shewn In the final
roll call and not demand reconsid-
Grafton. Thus the Progressives felt
that although apparently they lost a
day, in reality they saved several
by checking further efforts to impede
their plans.

KILLED A SQCEALER.
New York Gangmen Shoot Member
Who Was Telling.

Suspected of "squealing" to the
district attorney, Jerry Mazda, known
as Jerry, the Lunchman," met his
appointed death on FirtE-First street
near Broadway, New York, early
Tuesday. He was shot down by
gangsters who sent bullets into his
body.
The shooting occurred only a cou
pie of blocks away from the scene OF
the murder of Herman Rosentnal last
July, but the gunner had less luck
than the Rosenthal murder crew.
Five policemen who were in the I'M
mediate vicinity heard the shots and
pounced upon FIVE men whom they
accused of the killing.
The police allege toat the men
caught are members Of tao !aul Eel-
" band of gangsie-s. Of which jerry
was an adherent. They say that Jcr-
~ had recently fallen under snspi'
c,on, however, and that he was
thought to be revealing the gangs
secrets to the district attorney.
None Of the men caught were arm
ed. but witnesses said they had seen
them throw revolvers away and three
Of the guns were found in garbage
can nearby. The police say tna'
"cninea Sam, one Of the prisoners
was under arrest two years ago II
connection with the murder OF an
other member of the gang under SIM
flar circumstances.

before the "freak" trunks can be re-
fused. Notice is required in order to
reject them lawfully.

a1URERER IS CONVICTED.
Unwriten Law Fails to Save Man In
Georgia Trial

The unwritten law has received a
severe jolt in Georgia by the conVie-
ton and sentence to three years OF
penal servitude of Elmer T. Darden,
who shot and killed c. NJ. Goddard in
the Union Depot at Atlanta last
month.
Darden admitted all the circum-
stances Of the killing, practically as
alleged by the prosecution, and bas-
ed his plea wholly on the nuwritten
law. The judge charged that there
were no such thing as unwriten law,
and the jury found Mr.. Darden gull
ty Of manslaughter. Before dismiss
ing the jury, Judge Roam said, you
are a set of brave men. Not every
Jury ignores the unw:i:tsa Law, and
yet there is no such thing as an un-
written law in this county. Only
savages or people who cannot write
have unwritten laws"
In sentencing Darden to serve
three years the Judge said, "Still !
recognize that you had some provo
cation for what you did, and while
the law should punish, they should be
lenient under certain circumstances" "

HUMAN BEINGS FILL GAP
HEROIC WORK on MISSISSIPPI
LEyEE WHEN BROKEN.
Water is Held Back By Human Bod
les Until Laborers Could FIJI the
Breach With Sacks Of Earth.

Quick work by determined farmers
and a small bunch Of willing negroes
who were thrown into an incipien'
crevesse in the absence Of sand bags
Thursday saved another disaster
along the turbulent Mississippi river
The dozen negroes who lay in the
gap of the Poidras levee, holding
back the water until sand bags could
be filled to take their places, risked
their lives, but saved the day when It
appeared hopeless to even try to hold
the fact crumbling embankment.
The Poidras levee, which is only
13 miles south Of New Orleans, began
to cave rapidly shortly after O'Clock
Thursday morning. When the cav
ing was discovered the entire batture
in front Of the Poidras store,
100 feet wide and extending from
the levee to the river bank 200 feet
out, had cayed and a small gap in
the levee had gone. The alarm was
given and within 20 minutes score
of negroes were brought up by a
planter who lives a few hundred
yards south of the scene. The levee
was caving rapidly when this small
force arrived water about two inches
deep was pouring over the embank-
ment.
It seemed too late to prevent the
crash. A desperate chance was TAX
en- when two 12-inch boards were put
along the top of the broken levee and
a dozen negroes accepted the task OF
holding it in place. These human
sand bags might be taken with the
verdy next slice of the levee but they
held on until row Of bags filled
with dirt were put in place behind
the boards. Other bags were hastily
slipped into the gap and soon q hum
dred more negroes and white men
were working like ants filling sacks
and carrying filed sacks to the gap.
Then without warning. the stretch
of the leyee crown where the human
sand bags lay few moments before
fell away to a depth Of % feet. A sec
ond row Of bags held the water back
and within an hour 1000 Of the dirt
filed sacks were in place and the
caving was temporarily checked and,
for the time, the levee saved.

New Yorker Has His First Square
Meal in Fifteen Years.

Daniel J. Curtain, Of New YORK
city, an employee Of the Street Clean
ing department, ate his grst square
meal in fifteen years few days ago

cannot swallow solids any more than

diet is much more satisfactory than
the soup menu he was compelled tc
endure for so many years. His first
square meal" consisted OF chicken

Jersey City Church Sues
Railroad in Novel Case

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Smoke
and cinders from locomotives may
prove a heavy liability for the rail-
roads If the Supreme Court decides
against them in two cases now be-
fore It.
The Roman Catholic Church of st.
Anthony of Padua, In Jersey City, NJ.
j., and A. Webster Richards, a prop
erty-owner of this city, have brought
novel questions to the court as bases
for damages against railroads.
The church claims that the smoke,
cinders, SCOT and gases from passing
locomotives darken the glass In its
buildings, cause irritating flashes as
the sun strikes them, and Injuries the
furnishings. 1t says the noise also
disturbs the health and rest of priests
pupils, teachers and members.
Richards claims that the vibrations
of the trains together with the smoke
and cinders emitted by locomotives
have damaged his property thousands
of dollars.
The trial courts In each instance
held that the complainant was OBJ
jecting to the inconvenience to be
expected in city life and that the
damages were incident to the opera
ton OF railroad. for which nothing
could be recovarad.
