Bosses Fin ancially interested in Un dertaking Business One of the most Important contests" Involved in th© Republican primary election is that for the coroner's office. The Herald has repeatedly exposed the system of Coroner Calvin Hartwell in directing the bulk of the business from the coroner's office to the undertaking firm in which Walter Parker and other Southern Pacific politicians are finan cially interested. It is to these men that Hartwell owes his appointment as coroner, and to these men he Is now looking for his renominatlon in return for what he has done for them as a coroner, by giving the coroner's busi ness to the undertaking firm in which, they are stockholders. These men art also looking to Hartwell to defeat Dr. Shlrwin Gibbons, the good government Republican candidate, indorsed by tin Lincoln-Roosevelt league, and are aid ing Hartwell all they can, because they can rely on Hartwell. Dr." Shirwin Gibbons, Hartwell'a op ponent for the Republican nomination, is one of the best known physicians in the county—a man who stands ex ceptionally high in his profession and who has had years of experience. It is obviously to the advantage of the taxpayers to have a physician in the coroner's office, and much more effi cient service can be obtained from a physician than from a layman In the handling of the fatalities which this office is called upon to investigate and determine. GIBBONS PROMISES RKFOKMB Dr. Gibbons has made his campaign for the Republican nomination on a platform that appeals to every fair minded citizen and has made him a host of friends among the undertakers, who are especially interested in his fight because they say Hartwell ha* grossly discriminated against them In the disposition of the coroner cases, which he has given to the Walter Parker undertaking establishment, and to one other firm. Dr. Gibbons has promised to establish a number of re forms in the coroner's office if he Is nominated, one of which will bo to dis tribute the coroner cases on the rota tion basis. Dr. Gibbons has been a practising physician here for a number of years, and has boen prominently identified with the good government crusade in the Republican party. A vote for Dr. Gibbons today will contribute to one of the strongest blows possible at tho Walter Parker machine, which re ceives much of Its sustenance from the coroner's office. If Dr. Gibbons is nominated and elected for this office the present abuses which have charac terized the system now in vogue there will his friends say, be speedily reme died, and Los Angeles county will have one of the beat possible coroners. Mayor George Alexander yesterday issued the following statement, urging the Republicans of Los Angeles county to nominate him: "To the voters of Los Angeles: I heartily indorse the candidacy of Dr. Shirwin Gibbons for the Republican, nomination for coroner of this county. Dr. Gibbons is an active, energetic Republican of the progressive type. As a member of the. city board of health he has given much of his time to the improvement of health condi tions in the city. He is an honest, cap able man, and I believe he will make a splendid coroner. "GEORGE ALEXANDER." MOTHER AND DAUGHTER CONFESS THEFT IN STORE Mrs. V. V. Wilson and daughter, Vera Culen, aged 16, recent arrivals in Los Angeles from Salt Lake City, were arrested yesterday afternoon by B W. Lewis, manager in a Broadway department Btore, as they were leav ing the place, taking with them a pink silk gown which the elder woman had stolen from one of the departments. The gown was being carried by the girl. A search of their large hand bags disclosed many articles of Jewelry and silk goods, which they admitted stealing. . . . The women signed confessions in which they told of the theft of the silk dress. The elder woman took the dress off the counter, placed it under her coat and walked into a dressing room. Her daughter followed her and took possession of the pilfered gown. Im mediately following their entry into the dressing room the clerk missed the e°MrH Wilson was taken to the city lall and booked on a petty larceny charge, while the daughter was taken to the county jail and later trans ferred to the detention home. Her case will be disposed of in the Juvenile court. All the Latest News and Notes in the Realm of Politics BIXBY ATTEMPTS NEW EXPLANATION Chairman of Highway Commis sion Tells Supervisors About Demand for an Inquiry CRITICISM OF COMMITTEE Reply Does Not Cast Light on the Reason for Official's Par tisan Alignment George H. Bixby, as chairman of the Lob Angeles highway commission, ap peared before the county supervisors yesterday and submitted a statement In which he attempted to explain what he had previously "explained" in a communication to the Investigation committee. Mr. Blxby, in his previous letter to the committee, made the following surprising admissions: "I accepted reappointment on the commission and "was chosen chairman. I freely admit that this action in volved me at once in partisan align ment with the faction of my party represented by the majority of mem bers of the board and opposed by the so-called Lincoln-Roosevelt or reform faction." Again, further on, he said: "So I saw nothing particularly ter rifying and took it under a pledge of division of partisan spoils—hardly, nor could I believe that my colleagues did, now that I know them so ij»pll." Again, in a reference to" Captain Manning, he said: "He (meaning Manning) does not belong to that clique or faction In the board which we aliened ourselves with when we took office." LETTER TO SUPERVISORS Mr. Bixby in his communication to the supervisors yesterday admits the first paragraph, quoted above, but de clares that the sentence, "So I saw nothing particularly terrifying," etc., was intended to mean that there was no "deal" involved in his appointment. Mr. Bixby severely criticises the ad visory committee for making public its reply to his communication, and says "It acted in questionable taste, to say the least." He adds that "the investigation committee has been Im posed on," because the advisory com mittee has dared to demand that the inquiry be conducted openly and above-board, and has requested that the fullest publicity be given to the facts involved in the highway scandal. Mr. Bixby did not explain why .to accepted partisan alignment witn "Tvs" Eldridge, Nollls and McCabe. Mr. Bixby's reply would indicate that Mr. Bixby said about everything the advisory committee says he said, only "explaining" that come of the things ho said he did not intend to say, and others he did not mean to say, al though he said them.

BOY UNDER ARREST TELLS POLICE BURGLARY PLANS Admits Forming Scheme to Rob Hardware Establishment As a result of a confession made by a 13-year-old lad who refused to be come a burglar, Frank Mitas, aged 14, living with his parents on Boyle ave nue near San Pedro street, was taken into custody last night by Detectives Zlegler and Ingram, who charge him with being the leader of a gang of boys who. made several attempts to burglarize the Western Hardware and Arms company. He confessed to have planned a burglary. The detectives are withholding the name of the boy who gave out the in formation which led to the arrest of Frank Mitas. The lad informed his employer that Mitas and two other boys had requested him to "chip in" some small change so that they could purchase a steel saw and other bur glar tools. The trio informed the lad that they had made a futile attempt to gain access to the store of the Western Hardware and Arms company three weeks ago, but were unable to open the skylight through the lack of proper tools. Last Sunday night they again attempted to gain entrance through the skylight, but were frightened away when a night watchman heard them on the roof. The band then decided that they needed another "pal," so they ap proached the boy and endeavored to persuade him to join them. Mitas confessed to planning the burglary and regards himself as a hero. He will be held at the detention home until further investigation is made by the officers. The police will petition Judge Wilbur to adjudge the young prisoner a delinquent. Thousand Dollars Reward Is Offered by Democrats The Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee of fers a reward of One Thousand ($1000) Dollars for the arrest and conviction of any election officer at the primary election of August 16, 1910, who willfully participate in crediting to one candidate the votes that have been cast and are intended for an other. We do this because of information received to the effect that in certain localities an attempt will be made to write in- on the Democratic ballot the names of certain Republican candi dates, and then to count for those Republican candidates more votes'than actually are cast for them. (Signed) ALBERT M. NORTON, Chairman Democratic County Central Committee, Los Angeles County, California. LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 16, 1910. To the Democrats of Los Angeles County Democracy will be put to a final test today at the primary election. Shall decency and cleanliness in politics triumph over push machine methods? Shall a Democratic organization built up to a point of great efficiency—greater than ever before in the history of Democratic politics in Los Angeles county—be burdened with Republican nominees or "push" Democrats on the otherwise cleanest Demo cratic ticket ever put before the people in this* county? If we win this time it must be by the strength of the men we nominate today. All our nominees MUST BE MEN OF THE HIGHEST TYPE OF CITIZENSHIP. Democrats must see to this by going to the polls today and voting for the men who have the stamp of approval given to them by the conference of Demo crats held at Long Beach, May 27.. All Democrats must vote. Do not stay at home and let the enemy win. Come out to vote, and come early. ALBERT M. NORTON, Chairman Democratic County Central Committee Los Angeles County." SPANISH-AMERICANS READ LEAGUE APPEAL 'Message from Garcia' Contains Counsel Against Machina tions of Southern Pacific "A Message from Garcia" is the title of a last appeal issued to the voters of Los Angeles by Alfonso E. Garcia, president of the Hispano-American Republican league, yesterday. The message is as follows: "To all Hispano-American voters of the state of California: "As president of and in behalf of the Hispano-American Republican league of California, I desire to urge upon you the necessity of exercising your constitutional rights at the pri mary election to be held next Tuesday, August 16, that you may free your be loved state from the political machin ations of the Southern Pacific railroad and allied interests, which for many years have oppressed the masses of cit izens, politically, giving them little or no opportunity to be heard in the af fairs of state. "California, founded by those of our own blood, by our grandfathers, who made laws that were respected—the state which has given us birth, educa tion and livelihood, she who to us has been a mother in whom we take great pride and for whom we would suffer much—today appeals to her sons to release her from the clutches of the arch-enemy of all communities, the political machine. "Let us answer her appeal by rend ing asunder the bonds which so long have held her in order that she may stand foremost in the light of good government. "Fight for her. She sorely needs your help. Put at the helm of the good ship of state a man like Hiram W. Johnson, and safely trust to him to bring about the realization of our fond est hopes. "Pail not to go to the polls August 16 and register in unmistakable terms your protest against a continuance of the Iniquitous thralldom in which we, the children of the founders of the state, long have been held. "Strike for political liberty by choos ing as the champion of ouf political rights Hiram W. Johnson, the greatest leader the masses of citizens have yet beheld. ALFONSO E. GARCIA.

Mouser of Los Angeles, candidate for secretary of state, re turned yesterday from a six weeks campaign trip to San Francisco. Mr. Mouser has made a personal canvass throughout the state. While in 3an Francisco he canvassed the business section, giving to both the employer and employe his personal card. He has been indorsed by a number of well known business men of this city. Mr. Mouser says last Thursday he handed 1000 cards to the employes of the Union Iron works. He says he was intro duced to an audience last Friday night of over 4000 people and received a most enthusiastic reception. He feels con fident that he will carry both San Francisco and Los Angeles by a large vote. MAYOR URGES SUPPORT OF HENRY STANLEY BENEDICT "To the Republican Voters of the Seventy-second Assembly District: "I would earnestly urge that you vote and work for the nomination of Henry Stanley Benedict as the Repub lican candidate for the assembly in your district.

("Muggins") McDonald, the discredited Democrat who is seeking 1 the nomina tion for state senator in the thirty eighth district, has been "called" by one of the Democratic voters to whom "Muggins" sent a letter directing his attention to the fact that he had signed his nominating petition and therefore that he is morally bound under the law to vote for him. McDonald has gent this kind of bluff to -every man who signed hla petition, although It is believed the menace will be without effect, for nearly every voter in Los Angeles county has in telligence enough to know that merely because he signs a nominating pe tition he is not legally bound to vote for a candidate. A. B. Boswell, a prominent Demo crat, has seat tho following self-ex planatory letter to the strenuous Mc- Donald, which, however, will have no effect on him, for a six-mule team couldn't check Muggins in his political career: Henry M. McDonald: Dear Sir —Some time ago I re ceived a letter from you thanking me for signing your nominating petition, and in which you stated that as I had signed your petition I was now morally bound by law to support you at the coming pri maries. In this connection I wish to state I signed your petition when pre sented to me by a gentleman I know, probably with good intent to support you, but as a free-born American citizen I reserve the right to change my mind at any time upon receiving information which would lead me to do so, and there is no law governing my decision. Your letter requires no answer. However, knowing that you have sent these letters broadcast to • those who signed your petition, it appears to me that your method of attempting to obtain votes in this way is along the lines of coercion, and many who do not understand the law would feel that they were morally bound to support you. This letter alone would prevent me from supporting you if nothing else, and more especially since I find that a man of Martin Bekln'9 reputation and character is in the field against you, whom I shall support. I purpose making this letter public in order to set myself right with the regular Democrats of this county and the central com mittee of which Mr. Norton ia chairman, as my sympathy and support are with the regular Dem ocratic party. Yours very respectfully, A. B. BOSWELL.. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO CANVASS POLL BOOKS The board of supervisors will meet tomorrow to canvass the returns of to day's primaries, though it is believed that complete returns will not be in by that time. The board members will examine the poll books to ascertain it they are properly signed. If they are not properly signed the clerks of pre cincts where the books were used will be subpoenaed to correct the errors. Clark McPherron of the board in formed the supervisors that about fifty five clerks should be employed on the canvass at the commencement, and as the work progresses part of this num ber will be laid off.

PUSH PLAYS WITH TWO HANDS Machine Plans to Win with Either McDonald, Democrat or McCartney, Republican TWAIN AGREEABLE TO BOSSES Fight in 38th District Assumes an Added Importance in State Legislative Contests The situation fn the Thirty-eighth senatorial district has assumed a more than local Importance in Southern California legislative contests on ac count of the desperate attempts made by the S. P. machine to defeat both Hewitt and Sanders, Republicans, and Bekins, the Democrat, and thus to ad vance the Interests of McCartney and McDonald, between whom the Herrln crowd have no choice. The crafty manipulators, whose sole desire it is to elect men who will do their bidding-,- are bending every en ergy to induce the old liners of both parties to play Into their hands. It Is ludicrous to see the attempts they make in their desperation to defeat the best interests of not only the Thirty-eighth senatorial district, but the whole state at large by putting up McCartney as the Republican and McDonald as the Democratic senato rial nominee in this district, and thus be able at the November election to sit by and watch Republicans and Democrats alike search the ticket for a choice that they will be unable to make, for these two candidates repre sent the same standard of subservi ence to the great master of push poli tician destiny at San Francisco. There has thus far been said not a single word reflecting unfavorably on the candidacy of Hewitt or Bekins. On the other hand it seems that there can be put forth no more urgent rea sons than have recently appeared- in the daily press why the voters of the Thirty-eighth senatorial district should not register their votes for men whose standing cannot be questioned and who if they become the respective nominees of the Republican and Dem ocratic parties will make it only a selection of one good man over an other to represent this great district in the November election. GROCERS FLAY PUSH At a recent meeting- of the Retail Grocers' association one speaker sum med up the situation in these words: "We are not fighting- pure food regu lations; on the other hand we are heartily in favor of throwing safe guards around the food our people eat. The enforcement of reasonable regulations protects us in our en deavors to supply to the consumer good, wholesome foodstuffs. We do resent, however, the peculiar tactics adopted in the enforcement of the so called pure food laws now on our statute books. This seems to be the sentiment among aH our dealers from the smallest to the largest. The at tempts of McCartney to enforce his measure has been in many cases little short of a farce, aptly Illustrated by the remark of one of our magistrates in a trial before him. He said to the prosecutor, 'Why don't you go out into the country and make the farmers put veils on their fruit trees to keep off the dust from the highways? You see there is great danger to the public health from fruit so exposed on the trees.' "In one Instance a can of salmon was seized in some small stove and, according to the terms of the McCart ney measure, It was then and there opened and one-half taken out and sent to the state examiner at Sacra mento. When It reached that official it was about as odoriferous as Mc- Cartney's legislative record. "We have tried to obey so far as possible the general terms of the law, but it is impossible to know just what the standard of purity is' that tho statute calls for as section 4 of that act prescribes that the standard of purity in California shall be that pre scribed by the United States secretary of agriculture, and the result is that whenever one of Prof. Wiley's poison squad get a bad stomach pain the secretary decides to change his ideas of the standard of purity, a»d presto the California pure food law standard likewise changes. We are asking, how ever, for certain amendments to the law which will fix a standard that can be depended upon to remain the same for two days in succession. We want to see a law adopted that will not only establish strict sanitary food inspec tion but also take the enforcement out of politics." It will probably be well for the voters before they cast their ballots to ask their butchers and their grocery men what they think of the present pure food law, and whether or not its enforcement has been impartial. The S P. bunch, who have never been famed as solicitous for the welfare of the dear people of California, are back ing McCartney, and did any one ever hear of this crowd doing anything beneficial? HEWITT SUCCESSFUL The voters will undoubtedly turn out today and see that such statesmen are left at home. There Is dissension in the regular ranks between the McCart neyites who, under the motto, "The people be damned," are fighting to down Sanders, whose only fault in their eyes Is that he is a regular but not a Herrin Republican. In the meantime the Lincoln-Roosevelt candi date Hewitt, seems to be meeting with great success in his efforts to beat both McCartney and Sanders. Sanders was brought out by certain Republi cans at a time there was no good gov ernment candidate against the rotir lng state senator from the Ihirty- Voters of Los Angeles County: Vote at Primary Election Today The Good Government organization of Los Angeles city and county urges all voters to vote at the primary election Tuesday, August 16, for the best candidates in their respective parties.

The Lincoln-Roose velt league decided, however, to put forth a full and complete ticket and selected one of its very strongest men to make the race against both Sanders and McCartney. The Democrats on their side have as a candidate in this district Martin Bekins, whose sincerity of purpose and uprightness of character leave no doubt as to where he will stand on every measure affecting the people's interests. His opposition In the shape of Muggins McDonald seems to be more in the fervid and overheated imagination of that Tammany poli tician who, in the closing days of the campaign, has been going about shout ing "perjurer" to every one who since signing his nomination paper has fore sworn allegiance to Muggins. The indications all along the line point to a sweeping and decisive defeat for McCartney and a Democratic dis avowal of McDonald that will make that politician hie himself back to "Dear old Broadway," where Tam many recognizes political genius of his type.
