8 WORKS IN LETTER THANKS PEOPLE Nominee for U. S. Senator Ex presses Appreciation to Voters of California STATEMENT IS MODEST ONE Declares Victory Not Due to Per sonality but to Party Principles Judge John D. "Works of Los Angeles, the Republican nominee for United States senator, yesterday issued a let ter "to the ppople of California," ex pressing his appreciation of the efforts made by the good government Repub licans of the state to secure for him the party's nomination. Judge Works did a great deal to aid Hiram W. Johnson in his strenuous campaign against the Southern Pacific political machine, and although not a "grandstand" orator or a pyrotechnical politician, his quiet, earnest and con scientious labors won for him thou sands of new friends. His letter to the public reviews this work in a rather self-deprecating man ner and It will be seen he takes no credit to himself for the remarkable victory scored by the Lincoln-Roose velt league; but those -who know the nature of his campaign know that he did a great deal to insure the success of the faction he represented. Judge Works' letter is as follows: To the people of the state of Cali fornia: I desire to express my gratitude to the people of the state for the support they gave me at the pri mary election. I take It as an evi dence that the Republican voters of California believe in the princi ples of good government and not as a tribute to me personally. I feel this the more because I have not made this a personal campaign, but a fight for the principles for which the progressive Republicans stand and the emancipation of the party and the state from machine domination and control. I made no plea for myself on the stump. SOLICITS NO SUPPORT I have not solicited any man's vote for myself or the support of any newspaper. I have issued no cards or circulars about myself, have not adorned any billboard or fence or other place with my pic ture, and have not advertised my self or candidacy in any news paper, magazine or other publica tion. I am glad to say that all the support I have received from the newspapers or from any other source has been wholly voluntary, unsolicited and without remunera tion of any kind. I have had the earnest, sincere, disinterested and . unselfish support of some of the leading dailies, notably the Los An geles Express, Fresno Republican and San Francisco Bulletin. I should also notice the Los Angeles Herald, which, though a Demo cratic paper, has treated me with the most kindly consideration. I feel particularly grateful to the country newspapers throughout the state that have stood so loyally for me and the principles of good gov ernment. It has been asserted that a cam paign before the people for United States senator could not be made for less than $50,000. This would bar any man not a millionaire or not supported by the "interests." I have in fact made my campaign in most of the counties of the state and all for less than $1000, by con fining expenditures to legitimate and necessary expenses, thus dem onstrating- the fact that an Amer ican citizen does not have to be a millionaire to run for United States senator in Califorina. I have had no organization and no paid work ers anywhere in the state. I have had the support of the Lincoln- Roosevelt Republican league organ ization only incidentally and in con nection with the general ticket. SLAKES IMPERSONAL FIGHT Naturally the active fight was made for Hiram W. Johnson, the candidate for governor. He made a brave, independent, patriotic fight for the cause himself and was richly deserving of all the help and support that was given him. The party and the whole state are to be congratulated that he was nominat ed. I was not possessed of his powers of oratory or his magnetic personality, but in my campaign I could make only a plain and sim ple presentation of the issue in volved, the evils to be overcome, and the means of overcoming them, and make my appeal to the voters to support and maintain the princi ples for which we were contend ing. I have tried throughout the campaign to make it impersonally and on principle. I have neither ex pected nor re 'eived any financial help of any kind from any source, while one of my competitors is him self a millionaire and had the pow erful support of the political ma chine backed by the Southern Pa cific Railroad company. I have not contributed to the campaign fund of any candidate for the legislature or put him under any obligation to me in any way or sense. I am the more gratified at the re sult and the generous support I received from the people, because the campaign, on my part, was made solely on principle and with out the surrender of my convic tions or the concealment of my views, and the vote I received was for those principles and not for me personally. I am particularly grate ful to the people of my own city and county for the splendid support they gave me. It was an expres sion of their continued confidence that is deeply appreciated. JOHN D. WORKS. MEXICAN GOVERNMENT GIVES R. R. CONCESSION CHIHUAHUA, Aiiff. 19.—The con tract between the government and the Chihuahua Railroad company for the construction of a road from Monclova to this city has been published. Ac cording to the concession the road will be finished by December SI, 1915, Tt will be 250 kilometers long and will run across the states of Coahuila and Chihuahua. The government will Rive the company a subvent'on of $400,000, to be paid in bonds with a guaranteed interest of 5 per cent. Federal and state troops and officials on state bus iness will be carried by the road free of charge ATTEMPTS SUICIDE WHEN WIFE REFUSES TO RETURN Plunges Knife Into Breast in a Frenzy of Grief Because his wife refused to return to their desert ranch and live with him, but insisted on staying here, Charles Temple, a rancher from the San Fernando valley, attempted to end his life yesterday morning by stabbing himself in the left breast above the heart. The knife blade struck a rib and was deflected, other wise he would have succeeded In kill ing himself. He will recover. Temple came to Los Angeles from the oil fields near Bakersfipld, where he had been working, Tuesday, to persuade his wife to return to him. Yesterday morning he went to 3720 Borel street, where he found the wom an and his four children. Temple pleaded with her to return but in vain. He then asked permission to kiss the children before leaving. This was granted and he kissed the youngest, then plunged his pocket knife into his breast. The police ambulance was hurried to the scene and Temple taken to the receiving hospital and his wound dressed. In the hospital Temple explained that he committed the act in a frenzy of grief, when, as he kissed his child, ho realized that his family was be ing broken up and his children taken from him. He expressed himself as being very sorry that he attempted his life. Temple charges that O. L. Friel, who is living at 3720 Borel street, is re sponsible for his wife coming from Bakersfleld to Los Angeles and for her refusal to return home with him. BROWNE JURY CHOSEN; TRIAL BEGINS MONDAY Seven Hundred Men Examined in Order to Get Twelve to Try Case CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—A Jury to try Lee O'Nell Browne, Democratic leader of the lower house at Springfield for the second time on a charge of bribing representatives to vote for William Lorimer for United States senator, was sworn in today by Judge Kersten in the criminal court. The court then adjourned until Mon day. The sensational expose of alleged rot tenness in the state legislature and the first trial itself, which resulted in a disagreement, made the work of secur ing a new jury tedious. It has required three weeks and the examination of 700 veniremen to secure the twelve men. Out of the army of veniremen 115 were dismissed by the court when they ad mitted that investigators had talked about the case to members of their families. The personnel of the jury—Thomas J. Hanlon, aged 45, sales manager; W. Garnett Hegen, aged 30, engineer; John J. Leng, aged 30, street car conductor; Grant McCutcheon, aged 38, employe of an express company; Otto Roehm, aged 25, stenographer; Arthur J. Shall better, aged 40, locomotive engineer; Alexander D. Skinner, aged 40, clerk; Owen J. Williams, aged 35, clerk; Al bert R. Peters, aged 40, sail maker; Hugo H. Kuhl, aged 26, credit clerk; George H. Foss, aged 28, shipping clerk; Michael N. Elentz, aged 23, clerk. LOYAL LEGION ATTENDS W. G. HALSTEAD FUNERAL Funeral services were held over the body of W. G. Halstead yesterday af ternoon at the chapel of Orr & Ed wards. Dr. Warren F.

DIFFERENTIATION The man whose cash was swept away Was but a rambler, we are told; While he who won, the thou«hlesß say, Was an Investor, shrewd and bold. LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1910. Municipal Affairs FIGHT OVER BUDGET DEVELOPS IN COUNCIL Some of Members Favor Raising Tax Rate from 85 to 86 Cents The opening guns of what may de velop as a fight on the budgest when it Is presented to the council by the budget committee, were fired yester- day by Councilman Whiften, who vot ed against the 85 cent tax rate when a resolution to fix that rate was 'pre sented at a special session of the coun cil. The session was called for the ex press purpose of fixing the tax rate so as to give the city clerk time, to make out the necessary bills. But only the resolution was passed and that by a five to one vote. Williams. Bet kouskl and O'Brien were not present. The ordinance was not passed and the city clerk refused to make out the bills on the strength of the resolution alone for should the tax rate be changed the work would have to be done over again. There is a strong probability that the opposing faction and the 85 cent contingent may come together on an 86 cents basis, for it will require that rate if more than $12,000 is to be ex pended in constructing the proposed annex to the city hall. Whlften and Betwouski want better quarters in the now annex than the $12,000 will provide and the additional one cent on the tax levy will provide it. There are other members of the council who would like to see more money expended on the annex if there is a possible way to accomplish it and they may side with the leaders of the opposition. The present budget committee is hampered by precedent for the tax rate last year was 85 cents and the committee does not feel that it can in crease this amount, although the de mands on the treasury are much great er than they were last year. The as sessment roll is increased, but the growth of the city has made the de mands more than the increase. The work of the city clerk has also greatly increased. Last year there were twenty-four books and four rates. This- year there are thirty-five books and eleven different tax rates. SAN PEDRO CITY FERRY LIKELY TO COST $30,000 Inspector Humphreys Has Esti mates on Boats and Service Thirty thousand dollars is the esti mated cost of the municipal ferry at San Pedro and Wilmington, accord ing to figures secured by W. M. Mumphreys, chief inspector of public works, and W. J. Washburn, chair man of the budget committee of the council, does not know where so much money is to be obtained. The $30,000 will provide two ferry boats of twenty passenger size and maintain them for the fiscal year. It will require two shifts of two men for each ferry boat and the wages to be paid these men is one of the largest items. The boats can be constructed for about $2500 each. Mr. Washburn would like to start the municipal ferry business with one boat, but it has been declared that one boat, serving San Pedro, East San Pedro, Wilmington and Terminal island, would be but little better than none at all as the service would be inade quate. Some provision for the establishment of the ferry will be made In this year's budget. It is intended' to charge a fare that will merely cover the cost of operating. The pre-consolidatlon pledges say that the fare on the ferry will he 2 cents only. It is Mr. Humphreys' plan to charge 2 cents from San Pedro to East San Pedro, 2 cents from East San Pedro to Terminal Island and 2 cents from Terminal is land to Wilmington. It will be but a few months until the 5 cent fare on the street cars be tween Wilmington and San Pedro will go into effect and the travel then by ferry will not be so heavy. CITIZENS FILE PROTEST AGAINST MUNICIPAL FARM Object to Prison Experiment in Their Own Neighborhood Complaint against the proposed mu nicipal farm in the San Fernardo val ley was made yesterday when the citi zens of Burbank, Lankershim and the vicinity, filed a protest asking the city council not to establish the pro posed farm In their neighborhood. They say that such an Institution would make It unsafe for their children, that It would retard the development of the section and depreciate the value of property. The municipal farm is to be a place where prisoners accused of minor of fenses can be sent to work out their fines in raising garden produce and It means the abolition of the present chain gang system. Experiments of the kind in Cleve land and other eastern cities have shown that not only does a profit ac crue to the community through the farms but the prisoners are much bet ter in every way. Mayor Alexander is the authority for the statement that tho chain gang costs $3 for every J2 worth of work it does. WILMINGTON RESIDENTS TALK OF BOROUGH PLANS A resolution of the Wilmington chamber of commerce, filed yesterday lor the benefit of the city council, dep recates the agitation at Wilmington for the formation of a borough of what was formerly enclosed in the Wilming ton city limits. The resolution recites that a number of Wilmington people, dissatisfied with the delay of Los Angeles in Keeping its pre-consolidation pledges, have started a movement for the borough system, which is permitted under the present city charter, but that the chamber of commerce believes the time is at hand when work will begin for the redemption of these pledges. "My ancestors came over in the Mayflower." "All very well; but mine came over In the same ship with Roosevelt." MAKE HOT CRITICISM OF TRACT SUBDIVIDERS Private Ownership of Streets Leads to Muddle - W. M. Humphreys and A. A. Hub bard had the time of their lives yes terday afternoon when they got an opportunity to express their sentiments on some of the methods pursued by tract subdividers. J. Harvey McCar thy appeared before the board with some of the owners of lots on DaKon avenue, In what is known as the Uni versity tract to urge the city to ac cept Dalton avenue, between Santa Barbara and Vernon avenues, as a public street so they can borrow money with which to build their houses. Dalton avenue between these two streets was never a public thorough fare but was reserved as a private street by McCarthy when he laid out the tract so he could give a free right of way over the street to the Los An geles railway. Now the records show the street has been sold for non-pay ment of taxes and banks and other financial institutions have, refused to lend money until the title to the street is clear. They fear that anyone so disposed would buy the private street for the taxes and close it up, which the purchaser would have a right to do, leaving the houses without any outlet to a thoroughfare. mi i>m i, IS CAUSED But the board of public works re fused to have anything to do with the street until the property owners se cure it themselves by condemnation proceedings and turn it over to the city, free of all encumbrances. "Like other tract subdivlders you retained that street as private prop erty in order to give Huntington a right of way so he would not have to secure a franchise," said Mr. Humph reys to Mr. McCarthy. "It was only for the purpose of beating the county out of what it might have secured for such a franchise." Mr. McCarthy acknowledged that such was the case and this only kin dled Mr. Humphreys' ire. "This procedure of retaining streets as private property is a fraud on the purchaser," continued Mr. Humphreys, "for they consider they have a public street when they buy their lot and they do not know that it Is necessary to pay taxes on this street because it has never been dedicated to the city. It U a grave injustice and something should be done to stop it." Since the specifications requlrng higher grade of street work in new tracts have become part of the city's laws, some real estate operators are filing maps of their subdivisions show ing the streets as lots. As long as the streets are not dedicated to the city, but are privately owned, the real estate man can put on any kind of street improvement he chooses and some of them adopt this method so as to use the cheaper class of work. Sooner or later this action on the part of the real estate operator reacts on th lot owner. ACTRESS CHARGES MAN WITH THREAT TO KILL Jumps from Taxicab and Is Seri ously Injured by the Fall on Roadway PARIS, Aug. 19.—With a number of bruises and a broken bone protruding from her shoulder, a pretty, but per haps imprudent actress is now lying in bed and has, through her lawyer, lodged a complaint against a casual acquaintance made at a casino. The man who is thus complained of as the cause of the adventure is himself as tonished at the facts of which he is accused and points to a long career of respectability as a triumphant an swer to any Insinuations. The actress went to the casino to see the manager, to whom she had been introduced by a police official. Her object was to discuss the terms of an engagement for appearing at the casino. The police official, in the course of the evening introduced her also to a friend of his, a former police inspector and a very honorable man. It grew rather late, and when after midnight the actress was about to go to take the train for Paris the man offered to take her to the city in an automobile. A taxi was hired and had barely started in the direction of Paris when, as the actress alleges, she felt the barrel of a revolver pressed to her temple. It gave her a horrible chill and she seized the hand that was hold ing it and succeeded ,in pushing it aside. She screamed to the chauffeur to stop, but before the automobile could come to a halt she flung open the door and jumped out to the road. The driver had heard her and at once turned back to where sho was lying. "What have you done?" exclaimed the chauffeur to the man inside. "The poor creature has killed herself!" The man replied that it was all a mistake. The lady had taken fright because he was changing his revolver from one pocket to another. The actress fainted and was con veyed to Paris some time in tho morn ing She had been cut and bruised about the forehead and eyes and all over her body by the fall. Her right shoulder blade was broken and one of the bones, protruding through the skin, almost touched her cheek. A friend afterward, when seen at her house, was indignant at the delay in bringing her to Paris. Tho unfortunate lady, she said, was allowed to lie in the hallway of a hotel on a stretcher from 2 o'clock until 9 o'clock In the inorning. There was. it seems, no one to.take care of her during that time. The gentleman who had been with her re turned alone to Paris, it is said, and as he entered his house he made the following statement: "I have had a curious adventure. An actress who was with me in an auto mobile got frightened and thought I wanted to kill her. I simply changed my revolver from one pocket to an other. It is terrible to be thus false ly accused." The police official who had intro duced the actress to his friend says that he cannot understand why rhe should have thought that his friend intended to kill her, as it was the first time that he had met her. BIG AMERICAN INVASION Liverpool, Aug. 19.—A newspaper here says that the American tourist ■eason will be of longer duration this season thnn ever before. The Ameri can Incursion commenced earlier than usual, and arrivals are still unprece dented In number. Some of the earlier comers are now returning, with the re sult that the liners are pretty full on the westward trips. The preponder ance of ladles among the passengers is quite remarkable and mast eloquent of the advanced stage of emancipation now reached by the American woman. News of the Courts HALTS OFFICIAL ACTION FOR COUNTY FURNITURE Leonard Merrill Obtains Restrain ing Order Against Plans of Board of Supervisors Defeated In his suit for an injunc tion against the supervisors in the su perior court, Leonard Merrill carried the matter to the court of appeal and yesterday procured a restraining order preventing the county officials from carrying out the contract with the Cal- j ifornla Furniture company for furnish ing the new county structure, the hall of records, with stationary and mova ble lurnitrue. LEONARD SEEKS INJUNCTION Merrill a few days ago asked an in junction from the superior court, but Judge Bordwell denied his request on the ground that he has no jurisdiction over the actions of the supervisors un less actual fraud were alleged. Merrill then went to the appellate court, where | he repeated his charges and asked for a restraining order. He alleges that the supervisors had no right to let the contract, even by resolution, to the Cal ifornia Furniture company, and ob tained a temporary restraining order preventing thorn from awarding the contract to it formally. Merrill declares that the supervisors had no direct knowledge of the needs of the people who would occupy the new building now in course of con struction, and sent the bidders direct to the heads of the various county of fices instead of preparing a list of spe cifications themselves. QUESTIONS SUPERVISORS' RKillT It also was alleged that the super visors could not legally award the con tract because they overlooked a lower bidder in favor of a higher one, thus increasing the expenses of the county. The California Furniture company bid $247,91)0, while one bid was only $150,000. Judge Allen of the court of appeal signed the temporary restraining order and the supervisors, by papers served on them yesterday, are called to ap pear August 29 to show why the injunc tion should not be made permanent. GRANTED DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND FOR DESERTION Proving charges of desertion, Lotta May Hobbs yesterday was granted a divorce from Howard S. Hobbs; Frank \V. Ellis was freed from Martha A. El lis, and Howard A. Webber was given a decree permanently separating him from Evelyn Webber. Thehe actions were heard before Judge Cole of the Imperial county su perior court, who sat in Judge Hut ton's department of the Los Angeles tribunal. He also granted a decree to Lucas E. Villa from Eloisa E. Villa, the husband proving his allegations of cruelty on the part of his wife. The jurist continued the cases of Minnie C. Wllkins against J. W. Wll kins and C. G. Hopkins against Flora M. Hopkins, in both of which divorce is asked on charges of desertion.
