Part n—Pages 9 to 16 LOCAL DEMOCRATS PLAN WAR ON COLE Will Present Resolutions to State Body Asking Chairman Mack to Oust Him NORTON MAKES A STATEMENT National Committeeman Expect ed to Attend Sessions and Defend Charges That the Democratic party of Los Angeles county proposes to rid itself of every man in it, why is known to favor tlio Southern Pacific machino coterie, or who is disloyal to the prin ciples of the platform, was the state ment tnado yesterday at Democratic huadciuarleis. 418 Fay Imlldint;. "The tlrst move to entirely purge our party was decided on today," said Al bert M. Norton, chairman o£ the county central committee. "At the meeting of the Democratic state central committee, to bo hold in San Francisco next Monday, several prominent Democrats of this city will prefer formal charges against Nathan role, Jr., and resolutions will bo sub mitted asking the state central com mittee, to remove Mr. pole from tho national committee, or request him to resign, failing to do which Mr. Mack will be urged to declare his office va cant. "1 am not a liberty to say what will be the nature of the charges to be preferred against Mr. Cole, but will say that they are founded on the re oent oil and sugar stock scandal which came up when Mr. Cole was a member of the Los Angeles police comission. "Mr. Colo has been severely ■ criti cised by the leading Democrats of Los Angeles who freely state that he does not rightfully belong in the party. The action to be taken against Mr. Cole follows close on a similar action taken in recent months against other 'so called Democrats, who now are practi cally lined up with the machine Re publicans. I refer to the action taken against Eddie Morris and others, at Fresno and at the county convention. "Mr. Colo has long known that his presence in the councils of the Demo crntlc party has not been pleasing to many true pemoerats, but he has ig nored the fate of others, similarly criti cise,!, and-has defiantly remained in his position. Ordinarily, tho office of na tional commlttecman wrtuld fortify a man from the action now contemplat ed, but the critics of Mr. Cole in Los Angeles say his attitude has been so agrantly undemocratic that there is nothing left but to oust him from the Mr.'Cole Is now at Berkeley, and It was reported In Los Angeles last night that lie was preparing to be in San Francisco Mortday to meet the charges which Democrats from Los Angeles will prefer. • It is believed 1 Mr. Cole's friends here advised him yesterday of the step contemplated by his opponents, and that he will make a vigorous fight to retain his place on the national com mittee, and exonerate himself from the charges. Mr. Norton stated yesterday, however, the delegation from Los Angeles would go well provided with documentary evidence.

The good work done by the present administration, working under many disadvantages as It is, also was re viewed by the various speakers, and the work that It has outlined which the Good Government leaders hope to see accomplished when the organiza tion Is stronger was explained In de tail. The various speeches elicited much applause.

DEMOCRATS SURE OF ELECTION OF WOOLWINE Predict Support of Lincoln-Roose velt League and Good Gov ernment Organizations "Thomas Lee Woolwine, candidate for district attorney, will receive the support of a large majority of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league, get the Democratic nomination without op position, and the unanimous indorse ment of the Good Government organi zation, insuring his election by a land slide." Such was the euthusiastie prophecy made at Democratic headquarters yes terday afternoo, where the subject of Mr. Woolwine's candidacy was exten sively discussed by a number of the leading members of the central com mittee. "Mr. Woolwine already has 2000 sig natures to his petition," said T. H. Kirk of Pasadena, "and everywhere his verification clerks go they report having received the most enthusiastic encouragement. "Mr. Woolwine will be our next dis trict attorney. He will liave absolute ly no opposition for the Democratic nomination, and I am satisfed that if, under the direct primary law, the Lin coln-Roosevelt league could indorse him, it would be glad to do so. I have information from a reliable source that the league in all probality will put up no candidate against Mr. Woowine, and quietly, I believe, the lea,gue will instruct its members to write his name on their tickets. "Another unusual condition which makes Mr. Woolwine's candidacy ex tremely propitious, I believe, lies in the fact that the machine Republicans are seriously divided in their sentiment relative to Mr. Woolwine, and a great many old-line Republicans, who would not think of supporting a reform fac tion, will vote for Mr. Woolwine at the general election because of their warm admiration for the heroic stand ho took during the recent memorable anti-vice campaign. "The Good Government forces un doubtedly will indorse Mr. Woolwine's candidacy, and the effect, I predict, will be the largest vote polled by any county candidate." FIGHT AGAINST EVIL IS WINNING, SAYS TOPHAM The speaker of the evening before the Epworth league district conven tion held in San Pedro last night was John Topham, who delivered an ad dress on "The Winning Fight." In his address he dwelt on the growing ten dency of the world toward a higher goal of morality, stating that today the people of the country were making a winning fight against the forces of evil. "We are demanding more and more of our public men and are get ting it, and.aroused public conscience is insisting that the private lives of citizens who aspire to public office shall be clean and above board," was the way he expressed the thought.

MAYPOLE DANCERS — MEMBERS OF THE 5:30 GYMNASIUM CLASS WHO GAVE THE DANCE IN THE AFTERNOON NATURE FAKER KILLER NEEDED AT LONG BEACH Eggs Swallowed by Snake Are Re-Set and Hatched, Is Story Told LONG BEACH, May 20.—A hen be longing to W. B. McCracken, 223 West Fourteenth street, had been sitting on thirteen eggs faithfully for many days, Suddenly a snake appeared and drove the hen from her nest. The snake was a-hungered and with three successive gobbles ho gulped down three of the eggs which Mrs. McCrack en had so carefuly placed In the ex celsior. The hen's outcry was not heard at the time, but a little later Mr. Mc- Cracken espied the snake and marveled at his odd proportions. A blow with the family ax led to the death of the snake. The eggs were extracted from the snake, replaced under the hen and to day produced chickens with no birth marks.

Meinecke, who Is able to draw only $150 a month from the large estate left him by his father, declares that the children have been substantially pro vided for by the will of his father, and that it la a hardship for him to be required to pay them an extra $50 a month. His former wife already draws $100 a month from the estate, he says, and as the youngest of the children Is 18 years old, he believes that if they haven't sufficient funds they should get employment and earn the extra money they require. In his complaint Meinecke declares that his son, Erwin Meinecke, aged 24, is being encouraged in idleness by the payment of money for his support, and he believes that he should be com pelled to find some employment in or der that he may not become a useless member of society. The plaintiff declares $300 and $900, Including other sums, have been turned over from his father's estate for the use of the children. He claims that he was not represented in court when Judge James made an order compelling him to pay $50 a month to his divorced wife for the support of the children. On complaint of Mrs. Meinecke, the plaintiff was given one week last Mon day to pay the $75 past due, and he sent a telegram to the executor of the big estate, which is tied up tightly by the provisions of the will, saying that un less money was sent he would have to go to Jail.
