Campaign Not Obtainable, but They Run High — Can. vass of Votes Complete figures of the cost of the recent anti-saloon election are not to be had at present, but some of them are available. Yesterday the council approved the demands of the officers of the election boards In 108 precincts, the total amounting- to JSIS4. This represents only about half of the actual expenditure by the city. The estimate made by the city clerk's office is $11,000. The officials believe that this is a close and conservative estimate. At the city hall yesterday politicians were making guesjses as to how much money was spent on the day of the election. It was generally agreed by all that tho antl-prohlbitlon forces, both through the Business Men's asHO clntlon and private interests, who hired workers for the day, spent in the neighborhood of $25,000. The amount of money which the no ealoon forces spent June 2 can only bo approximated, but it la considered by men competent to Judge that $2000 is a conservative estimate. Thus it will be seen that the no-saloon election itself cost between $35,000 and $40,000, to say nothing of the money spent by both sides during the month of hard campaigning which preceded the elec tion. Competent and conservatlva politi cians place the money expenditure in the anti-saloon campaign at approxi mately $150,000. The loss of time of the workers and general falling off In busi ness cannot even be guessed at. The official canvass of the votes at the last election by the council yester day gave 8349 for the ordinance and 1C.487 against It, showing a majority a,galnst the ordinance of 7135.

POLITICIANS MUST TOE THE MARK CLUB WOMEN ADVOCATE AN INVESTIGATION SUFFRAGE SOCIETY MEETS Declare That Careers of All Men Who Come Before the Public Should Be Looked Into Thor. oughly Politicians beware! Look to your past! Following in the footsteps of some of the women of eastern cities to con duct a crusade against corruption in politics, Los Angeles women have ex pressed their views on tho subject. "The careers of all men who come before the public for offlro should be investigated," was the statement made yesterday by Mrs. Caroline M. Sever ance at a meeting of the Los Angeles Equal Suffrage association held in the Woman's club house, and nhe was only one of a large number of women who think the samp. The women declare that the best men of the land should b<* the onrs to rule, and that only niPn with rlear nnd open records should be allowed to enter the race for political honors. Airs. Severance also gave an interest ing talk upon the subject of taxation without representation, and Mrs. K. B. Retchun, who is on her way to the convention at Portland, declared that the power to do things lira in the little white ballot, and until thin is secured the energy and vitality used in accom plishing any work is to a great extent thrown away. Mrs. Retchun criti cized the position which Orover Cleve land has taken against club women, saying that he speaks of a subject which he knows nothing about. "The man who knows the least of women's clubs condemns them the most," said Mrs. Retchun. "The wo mun'H clubs are doing a great work all over the country." ■The' committee is preparing to give a reception in honor of Susan B. An thony, Anna Bhaw and other promi nent women who will come to Los Angeles after the close of the conven tion at Portland. Resolutions were inmaed deploring the death of Mary A.

Mrs. Smith's report to Superintendent Foshay'goes into details as to the suf fering incurred by the youngsters In being deprived of their daily supply of soup. She further outlines the plans of a great enterprise by which her school intends to take the initiative in the work of relieving dyspepsia and indi gestion among the school children whilt at the .same time decorations for the school are secured. Superintendent Foshay has bestowed his support on tho enterprise and It is only a matter of a brief time until the Ouster street school will have the distinction of being tho only local school fully equipped with cooking an 3 serving apparatus sufficient to feed all the children within -a radius of several blocks. For some time children have been ap pearing at the school with only lunches of cold bread and cheese, which, ac cording to the school teachers, are not conducive to inspiration in child edu cation. Six children, the report de clares, have neither lunch nor the money with which to purchase lunch, and therefore have to remain through out the entire day without food. A Real Soup Trust Forty-six children have the consent of their parents to take five cents to school each day to purchase their bowl of Kiiup, and with a promised trade of at least $2.30, the teachers went to work to form a soup trust. Three dozen little blue and white bowls, each hold ing the certain quantity of the warm soup which is supposed to be about the capacity of a child's stomach have been purchased. Some charitable person has donated a gas stove to the new culinary department of the school.

"The short man stepped directly tn front of me, while the other one stayed behind. I thrust my gun forward and said 'Throw up your hands.' As I gave this order I displayed my star and the short man in front did as I told him. "As the man In front threw up his hands the tall man drew a revolver from his pocket and fired at me three times In quick succession, the first bullet grazing my right temple and blinding me. As soon as I could re cover myself I opened fire and believe that I wounded the tall man. I emptied The Mathie Brewing Co. Telephone East 66.
