DEMOCRATS WILL
NAME CANDIDATES
Bourbon County Conference to
Convene at 10 o'clock
This Morning
R. F. DELVALLE TO PRESIDE
Meeting Will 'Indorse' One Man
for Each Office on the
County Ticket
The Los Angeles county Democratic
conference will convone at 10 o'clock
this morning in Blanehafd hall, Vi
South Broadway. More thun 500 delo
gfttM aro expected to attend.
The conference will select one candi
date for each office, and ■whore there
are several candidates in the field for
the same, nomination the conference
will Indorse the candidate it deems to
be the best man for the place.
Headquarters afterward will be
opened in I,os Angeles, where the Dem
ocratic county central committee will
take charge of the various nominating
petitions, relieving the candidates of
this strenuous and somewhat compli
cated feature of their campaign. Those
petitions can be signed by registered
Democratic voters at any hour of the
day they desire to visit the headquar
ters.
The sessions of the conference today,
says Chairman Albert Norton of the
Los Angeles county central committee,
promise to be important, not only to
candidates, but to all Democrats alike,
and it is earnestly urged that all mem
bers of the committee bo sure and at
tend and that each brings with him,
wherever possible, two delegates from
his own precinct.
The conference will select one candi
date for congress from the Seventh dis
trict and one for the Btato senate and
assembly. Candidates also will be se
lected for township justices, judges of
the superior court and other county and
city offices.
Proxies are not to be uced at this
conference, which is one of the fea
tures that will distinguish it from the
old-time county convention. Like the
recent state conference, the county as
semblage will be marked by none of the
old-time methods in vogue before the
enactment of the now direct primary
law.
Many namoa have boon received of
prospective delegates, and Chairman
Norton says there will be a large repre
sentation from all the townß In the
county, including: Pasadena, Long
Beach, ?anta Monica and other plates
embracing numerous precincts.
Chairman Norton announced yester
day that Clinton Judy of Sun Fernando
Is a candidate for county treasurer.
Mr. Judy Is a well known Democrat,
and It la expected by his friends ho will
receive the indorsement of the Demo
cratic county conference. It Is prob
aole former Senator Del Valle will be
chairman of the conference.

OREGON WOMAN COMING
TO PROSECUTE HUGHES
Mrs. Clara Kuper of Portland
Charges Private Detective
Is Bigamist
Thomas Hughes, a private detective
who ' was arrested Tuesday night In
San I'edro by Patrolman Clary on a
warrant charging him with bigamy,
was arraigned before Police Judge
Chamber* yesterday and his trial set
for May IS at 11 o'clock. Unable to
furnish $2000 bail, he was remanded
to the city jail to await his trial.
Hughes mysteriously disappeared
April 17, only twenty-four hours after
Miss Cora J. Beck became his bride.
After being absent for about ten days
he returned to his bride and told a
story of having been on the trail of a
person he was shadowing.
According- to Detectives Hawley and
HcKenzle, who were detailed on the
case, Hughes left Los Angeles April 18
with a strange woman. He was seen
driving down Central avenue with her
by a negro porter who assisted him in
securing his license to wed Miss Beck
only two days before.
Through press dispatches sent along
the coast telling of his disappearance,
Miss Clara Kuper of Portland, Ore.,
who says she was married to Hughes
on February 25, 1908, learned of his
whereabouts. She notified the local
detective bureau and a warrant was
issued for his arrest. According to a
communication received yesterday, she
will leave for Los Angeles today.
Hughes is said to have operated as a
private detective In various coast
cities and in British Columbia.

BOOTH TOO BUSY
FOR SENATE JOB
Reluctantly Declines Republican
Nomination Because of
Business Pressure
WISEACRES ARE SKEPTICAL
Believe That Refusal Is Due to
Fear of Machine's Re
ported Weakness
T. SHELLEY SUTTON
Willis Booth will positively r.it be a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for the United States senate.
Mr. Booth so informed The Herald
last night, after several weeks of care
ful consideration, stating that his busi
ness interests in Los Anicelea demand
so much of his attention that he has
found it utterly Impossible to arrange
his affairs to make the sacrifice.
"I earnestly regret," he said, "that I
have been so long in reaching this de
cision, but I have been in hope that
I could so arragne my buelneßß that
it would bo possible to become a candi
date, and, if elected, devote myself to
the work and duties which would be
expected of me by my friends.
"I could not, however, consent to
become a candidate unless certain that
If elected I could discharge my duties
to the fullest extent of my ability, and
devote all my time and energy to giv
ing our great state the fullest repre
sentation in the United States senate.
"I wish to thank my friends, through
The Herald, who have been so ardent
In their support of what they believed
would be my candidacy. The Influence
that has been brought to bear on me,
in the hope that I would try to become
the succossor of Senator Flint, has
been truly tremendous, and I am
greatly honored at this wide manifes
tation of friendship, for it has come
from men of all political factions,
and therefore has been difficult for mo
to resist. Nor would I resist it if by
any means I could arrange my busi
ness to permit of my absence In Wash
ington for the next six years."
BLOW TO MACHIXK
Mr. Booth's announcement will come
as a blow to the so-called machine
Republicans, who, according to the
best authenticated political gossip, had
planned to get back of Mr. Booth if
he became a candidate. He was gen
erally recognized by the machine Re
publicans as the strongest man they
could possibly put up, and they hoped,
with Mr. Booth in the race, to win the
senatorship.
Several political wiseacres, including
not a few of the close personal friends
of Mr. Booth, stated last night, when
the rumor of his negative decision
leaked out, that his refusal was due
not so much to his business affairs,
which are admittedly extensive, as to
his fear of the weakness of the ma
chine.
It Is generally agreed that It will be
extremely difficult this year for the
machine to get the kind of man neces
sary to win the election against such
candidates as Hiram Johnson, Judge
Works, Theodore A. Bell and others,
whom the Democrats and Lincoln-
Roosevelt league have been putting
Into the race.
The practical indorsement of such
clean-cut men by these organizations,
whose strength is Increasing every day,
means that if the regulars hope to
keep them from getting the nomina
tion they must put up men of similar
clean^ut character and spotless repu
tation, with equal zeal, competency
and active familiarity with the needs
and conditions prevailing In the Golden
state.
WAS ONE BEST BET
When the name of Willis Booth was
suggested, it is said, the word came
from San Francisco to indorse him.
"He will win," said the San Francisco
machine men. "We can't do better."
And as there is a dearth of desisable
timber in the northern section of the
state, the Los Angeles machine was
delighted at the prospects of securing
such a commendable candidate.
But all these hopes have been blight
ed In the bud. Mr. Booth evidently
does not wish to be tarred with the
S. P. stick, and after several weeks of
careful consideration he has declined
to run.
So passes another delusion.
Who, now, will be the candidate?
Long ago, when the present cam
paign was young and In its swaddling
clothes, Mother Grundy whispered the
name of Ed Meserve. When the nous
leaked out last night that Mr. Booth
had "gone back" on the machine, one
of the political Cassandras of the old
wing stated confidently that "Meserve
would be the man."
"It seems to be Hobson'a choice now,
anyway," he si id. "If Booth won't
run, it looks like It must be Mesorve.
However, I think Meserve will make
a good showing- It's too bad. though
—I really wanted to see Booth go
after it."
That seems to reflect the opinions of
most of them.
YOUNG ASTRONOMERS WORK
OUT COMETARY TIME CARD
Eclipse of Moon May 20 Will Af
ford Fine View
Look for the comet at 3:04 tomorrow
morning, 3:25 Monday morning, 3:49
Tuesday morning, 7:50 Thursday even
ing, 9:51 Friday evening. Saturday
evening, May 21, until May 28, it may
be seen any time after sunset, although
growing fainter each evening.
This schedule has been worked out
by the young astronomers of the Uni
versity of California and is cheerfully
guaranteed to prevent cold feet and
unnecessary loss of sleep on the part
of comet gazers who are guided by it.
The comet will not be visible on May
18 on account of its proximity to the
sun, which dims its brilliancy.
The best view of the comet will be
obtained the evening of May 20. An
eclipse of the moon by the earth last
ing 51 minutes and beginning at a few
minutes after 9 o'clock will make the
comet a brilliant object during its dur
ation. _~^.

today, so that the delegutes and their
families could enjoy an outing at Cata
llna.
Tho delegates and their wives and
daughters met at the Pacific Electric
station at 8 o'clock yesterday morning,
from which place they left in a spe
cial car for San Pedro, then taking one
of the Wilmington Transportation com
pany's steamships for Avalon. The
visitors passed the day on the island,
diking in tho famous submarine gar
dens on the glass-bottom boats, and
also visiting the various points of in
terest for which Ctitalina is noted. An
elegant luncheon was served at the
Hotel Metropole, after which the mem
bers of the party returned to the city,
more enthusiastic than ever in their
praise of the good times they have
been shown since their arrival here.
There will be but a brief session to
day, it was stated. Chattanooga, Term.,

of the most satisfactory yet held by
the association, and several of the del
egates Stated yesterday that it is hoped
to hold another convention in Los An
geles within the next few years, as the
delegates say they have been more
cordially welcomed and better enter
tained in Los Angeles than in other
cities.
DRANK WITH SEVEN MEN
AT ONCE, SAYS HUSBAND
C. A. DeVellis, Hollywood Carpen
ter, Declares Plans to
Please Wife Failed
C. A. De Vellis, a carpenter of Holly
wood, waxed humorous in his testimony
against his wife, Louise De Vellis, in
his suit for divorce in Judge James"
court yesterday on the grounds of
cruelty and desertion. His wife ex
plained to him, he said, that her friend
ship for a street car conductor was be
cause he allowed her free rides, but
When lie met the conductor the latter
charged him full fare.
"If Mrs. De Vellis secured free rides
on the cars through her friendship," he
said, "I ligured that I could get along
with the same kind of friendship.
Strange to say, however, the conductor
failed to give me free rides for friend
ship, and I came to the conclusion that
something was wrong."
PIANO FAILED
The plaintiff explained that Mrs. De
Vellis refused to stay at home and was
continually making a nuisance of her
self to the neighbors by unwelcome
visits. He bought her a piano, he said,
but she clawed it up in such fashion
that it was ruined.
He declared that the street car con
ductor wore the rings he had given his j
wife, and if this was not a proof that
thorn was a warm friendship between
tin in lie did not know what was good
proof.
Later she took up with a plumber, he
said, and her "mushy" conversations
with him over the telephone made the
husband feel seasick. He talked to her
and she promised to "cut out" the
plumbor, the conductor, the baker and
the candlestick maker.
SKVKN MKN WITH HKR
"She would hand out a smooth line
of talk." he said, "but would forget
her promises and commence running
around with other men again. On one
occasion 1 found her in the Eureka caffl
drinking beer with seven men. I fol
lowed her after she went out, and she
went to the Preston rooming house. I
talked to her when I found her and
asked her where the man she was with
had gone, but she declared there was
no man."
De Vellis said he treated her as best
he knew how, and on one occasion in
Riverside, when she pined for the
strenuous life, he gave her half his
money and told her to take a "jaunt"
and when she got tired he would take
her back to his heart and home. She
returned home, but was not happy for
any length of time, he said.
I'OKGOX DATE
When asked the dat% of his marriage,
De Vellis tried to remember but failed.
He did not even remember the year In
which he was married until his attor
ney coached him and asked him If it
was not in February, 1907, when the
plaintiff said he thought it must have
been on that date.
C. A. Kramer, a baker of Hollywood,
was a witness for the husband. He
said:
"She (meaning Mrs. De Vellis) used
to stick around the bakery and I didn't
like it. She pretended she came to road
th<i newspaper, and I told her to take it
along home with her. I didn't want
her around, as she interfered with my
husiness. Being a good customer I
hated to tell her this, but I had to
do it."
The plaintiff was given an interlocu
tory decree.
PIANO WRECKS LAW FIRM;
PRODUCES MUCH DISCORD
The story of a piano that smashed a
law partnership; severed the ties of an
old-time friendship and Involved its
claimant in four lawsuits costing many
times the original value, was told in
Justice Stephens' court yesterday in
the suit of C. A. Anderson against I.
J. Stiene for the recovery of the in
strument.
Stiene's mother-in-law has entered
the contest for possession of the popu
lar instrument by levying an attach
ment for $85. Judge Stephens has con
tinued the case until today, when lie
will endeavor to decide who the piano
really belongs to.

MYSTERY VEILS
ATTACK ON BELL
Detectives Make Inquiry Into the
Case Reported by Attor
ney for Victim
PERJURY CASE SET FOR MAY
Blow on Head Apparently Dazed
Man and He Was Then
Tied
A mystery has grown out of the al
leged brutal attack on Frank. M. Bell,
who was found hound and gagged in
his room, a small shack In the rear
of the residence of J. P. Fleming, 1520
Fleming street, Thursday night.
Bell is to Vie tried in the superior
court on May 28 on a charge of per
jury In connection with criminal
charges he died against O. P. Weld
man and A. n. Hanger. They were
dismissed from the charge and a per
jury charge filed against Bell. Bell
was recently discharged by a disagree
ment of a Jury, which stood eleven to
one for his conviction and a new trial
was granted.
Fleming, who was the first person
to discover Bell bound and gagged and
who notified the police, will represent
him in his coming trial.
Fleming was attracted to Bell s
shack by his moans. Fleming was
seated in his home, which is about
seventy-five feet away from Bell a
shack. Bell was gagged with a towel
in his mouth, which was securely
bound by another towel. .
(Vfter taking the gag out of his
mouth Fleming notified the police, who
reached the place a half hour later
When they reached there Bell was still
lying on the floor In a supposedly dazed
condition with his hands piped behind
him and tied to his feet. While being
taken to the receiving hospital Bell re
peatedly complained of his wrists pain
ing him. He said they felt numb. They
were slightly red but were not swollen
when they were examined at the hos
pital.
Bell was taken into the receiving
room of the hospital, where an examin
ation showed that Bell was dazed prob
ably by a severe welt on the side of
his head. He was put to bed, and yes
terday morning went to his home.
All the minor details which might
lead to the identity of the supposed as
sailant were all pointed out to the de
tectives.
F. M. Bell, who was recently found
not guilty of perjury in charging A. R.
Banger and O. P. Widaman with as
saulting him with deadly weapons
about two years ago. Is again named as
a defendant by Banger, who Is his
brother-in-law. This time, however.
two civil suits are aimed at Bell, who
was mysteriously assaulted Thursday
Sanger asks the court to order Bell
to pay h:m *489».24 on a stockholder's
liability complaint, and In a second
charge Sanger names Bell, Charles Caa
satt, J. W. Beasloy and others as de
fendants in a stockholder's rabihty
complaint as representatives of the Los
\ngeles Engineering and Construction
company, the plaintiff claiming $6500 is
due him" on the second charge.
The trial of the charges will be
watched with interest in view of the
fact that Bell charges that Banger trl( d
to secure deeds to property valued at
! about 1200,000 belonging to him previous
to the perjury trial.

DRIVE HALEY OUT?
'NUNNO,' HE YELLS
Clamorous Attempt to Oust the
President of N. Y. State
Society Sidetracked
SAYS HE'S GOING TO STICK
Cool Heads Quell Rumpus on the
Ground of Maintaining Dig
nity of Organization
What at first promised to be a sen
sational meeting of the. New York
State society, at Maple hall, Frater
nal Brotherhood building, last night,
when an attempt was made to force the
president of the organization, Francis
G. Haley, to resign, ended In placing
the resolution which embodied the re
quest on the table. ,
President Haley repeatedly charged,
indirectly, that the meeting was packed
with non-members and others, repre
senting his opponents.
J. A. Foshay and Judge Will D.
Gould, members of the New York Stata
society, both made speeches urging tho
society not to take the step asked by
the committee appointed to investi
gate the charges against Mr. Haley,
which were to the effect that he is
dictatorial, arbitrary la his rulings
and unparliamentary, that he caused a
change in the by-laws which made it
impossible for the society to declare
the office vacant, and that he appoint
ed himself a delegate to the conven
tion of the Federated State societies.
Both Mr. Foshay and Judge Gould
stated it would be "shameful" for the
society to oust its president," and Mr.
Foshay eloquently urged that inas
much as Mr. Heley had but one more
month to serve, the motion to request
his resignation bo laid on the table.
Speeches were made against this ac
tion by A. A. Sturgess and one or two
others, and when the matter was fin
ally put to a vote Mr. Haley and his
friends won by a considerable ma
jority.
The meeting was marked by num
erous spirited discussions, and Mr. Ha
ley, as presiding officer, was brought
face to face/ with, many embarasslng
situations, frequently putting to a vote
questions which involved the issue of
whether or not he should remain in,
office.
Mr. Haley made a short but spirited
speech in which he said he would not
be driven from office; that at the next
meeting of the society he would still
be found in the president's chair, and
would not 'seriously consider the op
position of his enemies unless they pre
ferred their charges in the right man
ner, before a court or investigating
committee.
It became quite evident early in the
meeting that there were many persona
present opposed to any action which
would cause the society to be censured
or criticised, and Mr. Haley's friends
rallied quickly to his support.
Another interesting situation arose
which involved the secretary of the
organization, who was accused of hav
ing made a mistake in recording tlia
election of one of the vice presidents
of the organization, but this was ad
justed by a vote directing that the
minutes of the December meeting be
amended.
