One of the census enumerators was
startled yesterday to find the forego
ing Information on a blank sheet he
had left to be filled out at c the residence
of a woman who had gone out, per
haps to work for the harbor and power
bonds. It was quite a tonic to the
tired enumerator, but It cost him con
siderably more than three cents to
make a return call on the facetious
person to get the correct information.
i "We are caußed a great deal of trou
ble by recalcitrant individuals, who
form n. mistaken Idea of their own lrn
portaaco, or chronic meanness, refuse
at first, to give us the required infor
mation," said 11. C. Llchtenberger, spe
cial deputy to Census Supervisor
J*armer last night.
"All the enumerators have instruc
tions to treat the public with all possi
ble courtesy and to rkfrain from an
officious and authoritative demeanor,
b/at the high pressure under which we
rife all working, necessary to the com
pletion of the census in the required
«ime limit, makes tt Impossible for us
to pass three or four hours with s any
Individual who takes a notion to with
hold information. Furthermore it is a
Ifreat injustice to the enumerators, who
are working by the name.
' "It is quite possible that tho next
refusal to give necessary data to an
enumerator will be followed by the ar
rest of the offender as an example. I
may butt in but won't be a goat," he
says.
"Since the explanation of the census
law to tho hotel men of the city, they
have been doing all in their power to
help us," said Mr. Farmer yesterday,
"arid returns from these, as well as
from all other sources, are coming In
very satisfactorily."
i The enumeration of the Japanese In
little Tokio has been practically com
pleted, and work will be commenced
in Chinatown this morning. The Ori
entals have been very frank with the
enumerators.

COMET GIVES EYEACHE
TO GARVANZA RESIDENTS
Halley's Fiery Flyer Is Seen but
Briefly by Few at
Sunrise
Halley s comet, that njysterlous wan
derer in the skies and for which hun
dreds of persons have risen from their
beds "early and craned their necks to
view, wns seen yesterday morning a
few minutes after 5 o'clock by at least
three persons living in Garvanza. The
celestial body was observed by the
throo spectators Just a little north of
the point where the sun made its orbit
a few minutes later than when It was
discovered by tho early risers.
In appearance it was not unlike the
familiar stars, being a little larger
than the morning star and In appear
ance oval and silvery. It did not sein
tlfate, but when the rays of the sun,
which at the time was below the sum
mit line of a ridge of hills, it made
tl yes of the observers ache and be
come nearly blinded.
The comet wns visible to the behold
ers for the space of ten minuten. when
tho brightness of the sun, which, in
relation to the vision plane of the spec
tators, was close to the «ky tramp,
made it physically impossible to gase
at the object with any degroe of com
fort.
From now on It will be more
difficult each day to observe the
astronomical wonder, until it drops
behind the solar body, when It may
be seen again with approximate ease.
Just after sunset 1 the evening.
No tall could be seen unless It was
the tail together with the head which
gave the aerial traveler the oval form.
WILLEMSTAD. Curacao, AT>ril 19.—
Halley's comet was visible to the naked
eye here at 5 o'clock this morning.
WOMAN SWALLOWS POISON;
DOOMED TO SLOW'DEATH
Admits Intent to End Life, but Ho
tel Man Scoffs at Story
NOGALKS, Ariz., April 19.—A young
woman, American, and a stranger here,
took twelve ounces of corrosive sub
limate with suicidal intent last night.
Physicians say she probably will die
within eight days.
The young woman came to Nogales
five days ago from Mexico and regis
tered at one of the hotels here as "A.
Kennedy." She took a room alone.
Two days later Al Kennedy, a former
saloon man and gambler, carthe from
Mexico and registered at the same
hotel. He took the same room and
the couple were registered as man and
wife. Sunday night or Monday morn
ing Kennedy hunted up a physician
and said the woman had taken poison.
She confessed to the doctor she had
taken twelve grains of corrosive subli
mate with suicidal Intent. The pro
prietor of the hotel doubts that the
woman has taken poison. He says she
has a good appetite and thinks she la
"playing "possum" for a purpose.

LOS ANGELES HERALD
WEDiNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 1910.
CALL URGED FOR
RAILROAD BOARD
Friends Now Believe Local Demo
crat Will Be Candidate
for Commissioner
POLITICAL POT IS SEETHING
Chairman Norton Calls Confer
ence to Canvass Makeup
of Party Ticket
Joseph H. Call has taken under ad
visement the formal request marie by
a committee of prominent local Dem
ocrats that he become an avowed can
didate for railroad commissioner.
Mr. Call, when first urged to an
nounce his candidacy, replied that he
felt rather reluctant to enter the race.
He finally agreed to reserve his de
cision, however, and it is the hope
and the expectation ot his thousands
of friends in the Democratic party anJ
out of it that ho will accept.
Democrats believe that with Joseph
H. Call as the candidate a nomination
is equivalent to an election. They
point out the Importance to the state
of redeeming the railroad commission
from Southern Pacific domination and
they argue that this can only be done
if men like Mr. Call will come into the
fight and thus make it possible for
local shippers to wrest from a hostile
railroad corporation equitable rates,
rates among other things that will per
mit them to compete on equal terms
with San Francisco.
It is the hope of those Democrats
who first proposed the Call candidacy
that Mr. Call's friends will see him,
or call him up on the phone and urge
him to stand for the nomination. This
should be done at once,.and it is prac
tically certain that if enough men
show their interest In the matter and
make it plain to Joseph H. Call that his
party needs him, he will not refuse.
Mr. Call yesterday again declared
emphatically that he would not be a
candidate for the gubernatorial nom
ination. He assured Albert M. Norton
that he realized his candidacy would
result in dividing the vote of the Good
Government forces within the Demo
cratic party and that nothing was fur
ther from his intention than to endan
ger the success of the Good Govern
ment movement within Democratic
ranks.
Judge Ling and J. F. Paulding were
speakers at the weekly meeting of the
Btanton Boosters' club held in the
Hollenbeek cafe yesterday noon. John
T. Pope, the club's executive, presided.
City Attorney Leslie Hewitt, who
had been announced to speak in behalf
of Mr Stanton, was not present.
Before adjourning the meeting Pres
ldeQt Pope appointed Messrs. Harmon
and Leeds a committee to secure the
presence of Assemblyman Cogswell at
next Tuesday's meeting of the club
and to invite him to make an address.
Mayor Alexander is not a Stantgn
man and he doesn't hesitate to say so.
No one yet has ever accused the mayor
of trimming. Certainly he was not in
a conciliatory mood yesterday after
noon when he met Charlie Fleming on
Broadway in front of the city hall and
stopped to speak with him.
"What are you doing now, Char
lie?" his honor askod.
"I'm boosting for Stanton," Fleming
replied. "You ought to come in ith
us."
The mayor didn't hesitate an in
"l'm tired of having people talk to
me about Stanton for governor," he
retorted. "I, personally, would rather
vote for Walter Parker."
Certainly he couldn't have put it
stronger, for the mayor's liking for
Parker probably is Just as fervent as
the liking of the Southern Pacific boss
for the mayor.
W. T. Harris was yesterday named
as secretary of the Democratic county
central committee, vice Irving Walker,
resigned. Mr. Harris entered upon his
duties immediately and from now "on
the committee will undertake a strong
campaign to secure the best possible
list of candidates with which to go
before the people at thf coming pri
mary election.
Harris is a hard worker and a man
who always has been prominent in
the Democratic ranks. Up to the time
of his appointment as secretary he had
been chairman of the campaign com
mittee and he was largely responsible
for the thorough campaign conducted
by Los Angeles county Democrats at
the last presidential election. More re
cently he was chairman of the commit
tee on credentials at the state confer
ence held here a few days ago.
Mr. Harris came to Los Angeles
about six years ago from San Bernar
dino, where he had been secretary of
the local Democratic central commit
tee. He is in the real estate busi
ness.
Albort M. Norton, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
yesterday sent out a circular letter to
every precinct committeeman in Los
Angeles county, announcing the call-
Ing of a county conference to be held
May 14, at which each committeeman
will be entitled to name two delegates.
At this conference the makeup of the
Democratic county ticket will be can
vassed. The letter follows:
"Dear Sir: I desire to have the
Las Angeles county central committee
composed of men who will take an
active part in the coming campaign.
Our county central committee Is well
organized in this county, but I desire
to have It in still better condition.
"If you care to continue to act as
committeeman in your precinct, and
will take an active part in the cam
paign about to come, will you kindly
fill out the enclosed card and mall to
me Immediately? If I do not get a re
sponse from you by April 28 I will take
it that you do not care to act as
oommltteoman; so if you care to act be
sure to answer by that time. If you
cannot act as committeeman kindly
send me on the same card the name
of some active Democrat in your pre
cinct who will act.
"A conference of Los Angeles county
Democrats will be held in Blanchard
hall, 233 South Broadway, on May 14,
1910. By a resolution adopted at the
last meeting of the county central
committee, each committeeman is en
titled to select two delegates to the
conference, to be selected in any way
the committeeman may desire. Will
you kindly decldp who these ti%> d«i«-

and mail same to me as soon as possi

"By attending to both these matters
at your earliest oportunity, you will
have started what in a very short time
will be one of the best organized coun
ty central committees in the state.
Yours very truly,
"ALBERT M. NORTON, Chairman."
Philip A. Rtanton and a number of
his supporters visited Watts, Compton
and Downey In automobiles! yesterday.
At each place delegations of citizens
were met and addressed by the candi
date.
Mr. Stanton and party left later last
night for Calexico, where an automo
bile tour of the Imperial valley will
be begun.
Next weeek the candidate will visit
all of the beach cities of Los Angeles
and Orange counties, and the follow
ing week will start on his eight weeks
automobile tour of Central and North
ern California.
LAUD NEW ENGLANDERS
FOR PATRIOTIC INTEREST
Now Englanders crowded the assem
bly room of the chamber of commerce
to overflowing last night at the re
ception given by the chamber to the
New England society and the Sons of
the American Revolution, and standing
room in the adjoining rooms and corri
dors within reach of the speakers'
voices was at a premium, although a
large number strolled about the exhibit
hall renewing old acquaintances.
The program wuh opened by Joseph
Scott, president of the chamber of
commerce, with an addre=B of welcome,
In which he complimented the New
Englanders on the interest manifested
in things patriotic by the society, as
well as the prominent part many form
er residents of the "down east" states
have taken in the upbuilding of Los
Angeles.
Judge C. J. Noyos, president of the
New England society, in responding: to
the welcome of the chamber, took oc
casion to compliment that body on the
splendid work it has done in connec
tion with the harbor and aqueduct.
The prinlpal speaker of the. evening
was Dr. Clarkson N. Guyer of the
Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, who delivered an address
on "Patriotic Societies." Bishop T. J.
Conaty delivered a patriotic address,
and Miss Emma Marmon and Mrs.
Carlotta Gotwaldt contributed several
vocal solos to the program.

S. A. DOBINSON IS
CALLED BY DEATH
Dean of Local Dramatic Critics
Dies After Illness of Less
Than a Week
LIVED HERE FOR 35 YEARS
Was Pioneer Real Estate Man
and Active in Developing
Los Angeles
George A. Doblnson, formerly welt
known as a man of affairs, and re
cently noted for his interest in the
drama and authoritative knowledge of
everything pertaining to dramatic art,
died yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
after an illness of less than one week.
He was itrlcken with apoplexy last
Thursday night, but partly regained
consciousness Saturday and hope for
his recovery was aroused. Monday
morning a change for the wor»« took
place and he continued to sink until
the end. •
Mr. Doblnson was born in London,
England, August 21, 1843. He studied
law there, and after coming to Cali
fornia in 1870 was admitted to general
practice. His first residence in this
state was in San Francisco, where he
was associated with the R. G. Dun
Mercantile agency, going from there to
Portland and eventually coming to
Los Angeles in 1875. He became in
terested in real estate and had busi
ness affiliations with prominent men
of the city, among them Tom Rowan,
since deceased, J. A. Fairchild and
Louis Vetter. Ha was interested in
the subdivision of the Bonnie Brae
tract, Just tliis side of Westlake park,
then a meadow land, and was an
owner of extensive property interests
at that time.
Throughout his life Mr. Doblneon
was a student and patron of the stage,
and had a complete collection of lit
erature pertaining to theatrical affairs.
He finally drifted into the position of
literary and dramatic critic on the
daily papers here, a position which
was thoroughly congenial to him, and
in which his authority was recognized.
He was easily' entitled to the title of
deanlof dramatic critics here, not only
in point of ability, but in experience
as well.
Recently he established a school of
expression, which has a large clientele,
not only of students who aspired to
dramatic work, but of others who de
sired to develop good taste in litera
ture and greater flexibility and ex
pressive powers with the speaking
voice.
The surviving relatives in Los An
geles are his widow, Mrs. Florence A.
Dobinson, and one sister, Mrs. \V. R.
Blackman. The funeral services will
be held at Donlnson's auditorium (the
Gamut club) Friday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock.
