DEMOCRATS BAR
BELL STAMPEDE
NORTON SAYS CONFERENCE
WON'T BE PACKED
TO MAKE CLEAN FIGHT AGAINST
S. P. ROLLER
650 Delegates Expected Will Put Forth
Biggest Effort in 20 Years
on Platform of Solid
Planks
That the Democratic state conference
to be held In Los Angeles April 12-13
v.ill be far the most successful and
best attended In many years; that it
will in no sense be packed for Theo
dore Bell or any other candidate, and
that the organization in Los Angeles
county Is stronger and better ramified
than it has been in twenty years, were
statements made yesterday by Albeit
M. Norton, chairman of the Los Ange
les county Democratic central commit
tee, who is enthusiastic over what ho
terms "the glowing prospects of success
in the next election."
"We have communicated with prac
tically all of the various county organ
izations throughout California," said
Mr. Norton yesterday, "and are assured
that nearly ev^ry county will send a
full delegation. Siskiyou, Trinity and
other far northern counties have ar
ranged to send full delegations, and .ill
over the state there is an exceptionally
keen interest in the conference.
Use Springy Planks
"Live issues will be discussed at the
convention, and Democrats of Califor
nia feel compelled to take part in the
important work which will be taken up
by this assemblage. Among the vital
questions to be discussed is that in
volved in constitutional amendment No.
1, probiding for the separation ot state
and county taxes, which will be fa«
vored by Senator John Curtin. Oppos
ing him in the discussion will be Rich
mond Plant and other prominent Dem
ocrats.
"Senator namlnctti will discuss the
necessity for a Democratic hoard of
railroad commissioners. Prof. L. A.
Handley also will deliver an address on
•Tariff and the High Cost of Living.'
Frank Gould of San Francisco, who
was at one time speaker of the state
assembly when it was Democratic, will
tell 'What a Democratic Legislature
Aeromplishod.' Thomas Lee Woolwine
will discuss 'Los Angeles County Dem
ocracy—Past ajid Present,' and also de
scribe the good government movement.
Among other distinguished Democrats
who also will be present an,d take part
in the discussion of these matters will
lie former Mayor Dunne of Chicago and
.Governor Folk of Missouri.
To Discuss Primary
"The second day of the conference
there will be a discussion of the pri
mary law and the position which the
Democratic party should take relative
thereto."
Mr. Norton said that at least 550 del
egates would attend the conference.
Speaking of the probable candidates he
said:
"The Democratic ticket this year will
be exceptionally strong. The best men
in the party are giving us their aid,
and have consented to make the race.
We realize that the demand for the
defeat of the S. P. machine necessitates
the cleanest and most conscientious
and competent men, and these men are
coming forward rapidly.

William Conley of Ventura and Robert
Bledsoe of San Bernardino will be
among the leading candidates for the
supreme bench,
"There have been ugly rumors circu
lated by the enemy in northern coun
ties that it was proposed by the Los
Angeles delegation to pack the conven
tion for Bell. In order to disprove this
report, Mr. Bell recently announced
that he would not solicit or accept the
Indorsement of the Los Angeles delega
tion. We are trying to have him recon
siler this step.
Prefer Bell
"If Mr. Bell accepts the conference
indorsement there will be no other can
didate. If he does not accept it, it is
probable Senator George rartwrlght or
Senator E. O. Miller will be indorsed by
the Los Angeles delegation. Cart
wright's indorsement probably will be
made unanimous. I believe, however,
Mr. Bell will accept our indorsement,
when it has been shown that there is no
attempt to pack the convention find
that his nomination is to be the result
solely of his popularity.
"Judge John E. Raker, chairman of
the state central committee, will prob
ably be the successful candidate for
congress from the First district, and if
he accepts the nomination a new chair
man will be elected to take his place
on the committee, and the Democratic
stnte headquarters will be moved from
Ban Francisco to I>os Angeles, This
latter change is certain if Judge Raker
is nominated.
"Senator Caminetti informs us that
Los Angeles county put up the best
fight in the last campaign, and that it
is now the best Democratic organiza
tion in the state. .Northern Democrats
favor the change of headquarters from
San Francisco to Los Angeles.
Out for Congress
"It is understood that Prof. 1.. A.
Handley and John B. McQroarty are
out for congress, and much interest at
taches to their candidacy, as a keen
struggle seems Imminent.
"A. C. Irwln of San DiegO also is ill
the race for congress from the Eighth
district againsi ( ongressman Smith.
"It can now be definitely announced
that the consolidation committee ap
pointed by the Jefferson club iiiid Dem
ocratic league to merge the two organ
izations has decided on definite plans.
and that the organizations probably
will be united. There will be a reor
ganization, and the new body probably
will be known as the Jefferson Demo
cratic league.
"We heard yesterday that Tom Mo-
Caffery, Martin Marsh, Tom Vacher
and Jim Craig all had deserted the
ranks and registered with the Republi
cans. As these men are known as ma
chine allies, their presence is not
missed, and we believe that as regulars
in the old push they are rightly
aligned."

helping to replace a wooden casing
with one of concrete. The work was
practically completed, when a cavein
occurred, burying the man beneath
earth and timbers. A force of men
worked ceaselessly for days In an ef
fort to reach Pickering alive. Hope
was abandoned after three days, but
sine then a force has been employed
constantly and the body was recovered

LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING. MABCII 31.. 101.0.
DENIES REDONDO
RIGHTS IN CITY
SAYS CARS OPERATED WITH
OUT FRANCHISE
CASE DISMISSED AGAINST MAN
WHO BLOCKS TRAFFIC
Court in Its Decision Declares Railway
Has No Legal Standing in Los
Angeles and Cannot Claim
Municipal Protection
That there is no such thing In the
cttj as a Los Angeles and Redondo
electric car, and that cars of that com
pany do not exist in the eyes of the
law when they are operated within the
City limits of Lot Angeles, is the opin
ion of Police Judvre. liose. in a .1'
rendered yesterday in the case of W.
N. Patton charted with violating the
traffic ordinance by bioeking the proJ
gress of a Redondo Beach ear in
Grand avenue, between Ninth ami
Eleventh streets.
In giving his decision and dismissing
the case against Patton, Juii«< Rose
stated thai the Los Angeles and Re
dondo Railroad company operated ears
over tracks within the city limits with
out having a franchise to do so. The
court declared the company has. no
legal right to run their ears over tracks
within the city limits. He staled that
under the law a Los Angeles and Re
dondo ear running over tracks in the
city limits is not to be considered a
reality.
Blocked Street Car
Patton, It seems, was driving his
auto on the tracks in Grand avenue.
He was directly in front of an out
bound Redondo Beach ear and kept on
the tracks between Ninth and Elev
enth streets and refused to turn out
and allow the ear to proceed. The
motorman of the ear became Incensed
at being delayed and summoned Pa
trolman Penman, who promptly placed
Patton under arrest for a violation of
the traffle ordinance, a section which
requires all vehicles to give right of
way to street cars.
Judge Rose is familiar with corpora
tion franchise matters and Is well in
formed ns to the date when fran
chises were granted to various railroad
companies. He happened to remember
an agreement made by the officers of
thn Los Angelos-Rcdondo railway com
pany with tlie officer? of the Los An
geles Street Hallway company, whereby
the former corporation was allowed to
use the tracks of the latter and run
cars from Second and Spring Streets,
west to Broadway, thence to Seventh
s t, t. From Seventh street the Los
Angeles and Redondo company operates
cars on the Los Angeles Railway com
pany's tracks to Grand avenue, thence
out Grand avenue and beyond the city
limits. ,
Uses Tracks of Other Company
According to Judge Hose the Redondo
Beach line has been in existence for
many years and during that time has
run Its cars over the tracks of the
other company and has never obtained
a franelse or paid one cent for the
privilege.
"The court takes judicial recognition
of the fact that as far as the law is
concerned the Los Angeles and Re
dondo cars do not exist in the city lim
its," said Judge Rose in ruling on the
matter. "Therefore, it is quite plain
that n person cannot commit an of
fense against the traffic ordinance by
DONT KISS the baby,
or allow others to do
so, unless their mouths
have been cleansed and
purified by the daily use of
Dr. Lyon's
PERFECT
Tooth Powder
which cleanses, preserves and
beautifies the teeth and im
parts purity and fragrance to
i the breath. Mothers should
teach the little ones its daily use
blocking a car that does not exist. 1'
Judge Rose then dismissed the case
and announced t,hat he would do like
wise in all other cases in which the
Redondo cars are concerned.
There were a number of voluntary
witnesses who wanted to testlfiy to the
fact that the Redondo Beach ears do
not stop to take on passengers within
the city limits. Their testimony was
not admissible.
ENTERS HOUSE AND
ROBS WOMAN OF $5
Thief Garbed as Cowboy Forces Vie.
Tim aat Point of Revolver to
Give Him All Her
Money
Armed With a largo revolver and
wearing the sn!i of a cowboy, a rob
ber entered the home of Mrs. N. Qrel
mer at 7it» K.ist Seventeenth street at ,
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, walked
into the kitchen, where she was hold-
Ing her baby, and under threat of be
iiiij shot compelled her to hand over
her money, amounting to };>.lO.
Mrs. Greimer had taken her infant
into the kitchen. She wis seated with
the baby near the rear door when the
robber entered and commanded her to
give him all the money she had in the
house.
Mrs. Greimer. although frightened, |
denied she had any money or anything j
to oat.
"I don't want anything to o it." the
man replied. "1 want money, and if
you don't produce some soon I uni go
ing to shoot you," following up his re
mark by thiriFhiiig a revolver.
"I mean what I say." the Intruder
continued, "and if you don't give me
some money you never will live to tell
the police about this matter."
Mrs. Qrelmer hurried into her bed
room, the robber following her, and as
soon as she took her pur.se from a
drawer the man snat* hed it and rushed
out. Before he disappeared from view I
he told her if she made an outcry or j
attempted to inform the police she
wo'ild be killed.
As soon as she saw the man Lave
the yard Mrs. Greimer by telephone
notified the University police station.
The police wars unable to find any
trace of the bandit.
Mrs. Grelmer gave the detectives an
excellent description of the robber.
She said he Is about 6 feet tall. 175
pounds in weight, was dressed like a
cowboy, spoke in a hoarse tone and
appeared nervous. He was smooth
shaven and kept his hat pulled down
over his eyes. ,
PRIZE PIANOS MUST
BESEEN-GOSEETHEM
We record another day's progress in I
the conteit for new subscribers, which
The Herald is now conducting, and this j
day has brought another increase In |
the number of contestants who wish
to make an effort to win one of the |
high-grade planoi which are being of- ,
i. i.-d among the prizes. AH those who
' have called at the store, of the Fitz-
I .Music company, 523 South
Broadway, where these two pianos are
!on exhibition, have pronounced them
: i van more attractive than any pub
lished description has indicated.
It is seldom that two such hand
some pianos are offered as prizes. The
Henry & S- '»• Lindeman, alone, is
; worth more than two or three ordi
nary instruments. It. is one of the
tinest pianos made by the Lindeman
c 'in) any, and aside from being excep
tionally handsome, Its general con
struction is perfect, and its tone can
not be excelled, even if it can be
equaled by any other piano on the
market.
The Kteger & Sons upright, which is
aisn one of the prises ottered, is guar
anteed by the Fltlgerald Musi.: com
pany to be one of the mr><t perfect
instruments ever shipped them from
j that factory, and anyone winning this
i piano may be justly proud of it. Its
1 beautiful finish and massive construc
tion makes it most attractive, and in
and action It more than justifies
! the promise of its appearance.
