Anticipating a struggle, Huntington has already organized his forces and is pre- pared for whatever may come. He backed by the be- melement in Southern California and is gaining sympathy throughout the north, a fact his oppo- nents, Harriman and Herrin, have already realized and are eagerly trying to counte act. The southern street railway magna is also supported by the cleverest lieut ants | of Epes Randolph, John llam Dunne, three men who have been in the employ of the Southern Pacific Com- pany and know the ground on which their fight s to be made as well as Herrin and his followers, Just who will represent the Southern Pacific in this interesting controversy in the south will be determined when' Herrin reaches Los Angeles to-day.

Huntington has not entered the fight by preference. On the contrary he would have avoided any engagement of a political character had he not discovered that the Harri- man syndicate was plotting to obstruct his electric enterprises in Southern Call- fornla. Having fully satisfied himself that the Garland petition for & number of franchises for street.rallways in Los An- geles was really a scheme of Harriman's, suggested by Herrin, to prevent, If pos- sible, the Huntington-Heliman Company from carrying out its plans to extend Its electric roads northward to Santa Bar- bara, Huntington determined to fight vack for self protection.. His only way was to enter the political fleld and fight the machine of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. Pifhat the public of California appre- clates that it 1s to be benerited goes with- out gaying, for the.people realize too well that if these two great moneyed factions are arrayed against each other there is more than a possibility of the Southern Pacific political machine, which has so iong controlled the destinies of the Stats, being disrupted and. its degrading in- | fluence killed forever.

LONDON, April 6.—The recovery in consols, which came late in the week, had a salutary effect and in consequence a more cheery feeling pervaded the stock market, all departments showing a bet- ter front. It is now belleved that the period of depression has ended. Money had become easier and with the Jividend distribution the stock market will be enabled to repay its loans to the Bank of England and a reduction In the interest rate will follow. American securities, in- fluenced by the Southern Pacific fight, re- mained rather dull last week, though they displayed a better tone yesterday.

Therefore he, above ali men, is unfitted to give an objective judg- ment on the financial situation and pros- pects. The announcement of the reduction in Iron prices in the United States caused heavy selling of fron shares on Friday and Saturday, the quotations losing what they had gained earlier in the week through several advances in prices of iron here. Most fron shares at the close of the week were moderately lower. Coal shares advanced strongly upon heavier sales of coal to Belglum and good annual reports by several of the large companies. Money rates have been moderating since the monthly séttlement, and for- elgn exchange rates also are tending to become easier. Bartenders Hold Outing. The members and friends of the Bar- t'e’ndera' League held a very pleasant and successful outing at Shell Mound Park yesterday.

But her support is ineffective in+some of its most important features. Mr. Tillish, for example, who has the role | of the Chevalier de Vaudrey, is a rather | lamentable person—one of the ‘‘three-a- | penny”’ sort of “‘dooks.” He has neither | manner nor anything else needful to the | part. Best in the support are the Jacques and Pierre Frochard of the cast, done with strength, conviction and taste by | Frank MacDonald and Arthur Berthelet. ‘ | Ethelyn Palmer is pleasing as Henriette, Blanche Moulton shows efficiency as ‘Widow Frochard and the rest doesn’t mat- ter.

Evidently, says the Neueste Nachrichten, - enormous droves of cattle have, during the Triocene period, been caught by a revolution of earth and buried by thrown-down masses. The exten- sive salt deposits in the district preserved and seasoned the meat, the cold of the ice period kept it for centuries, and under the in- fluence of the immense pressure of masses of earth and stones it has been transformed into a kind of salt meat, which as to taste and nutrity is not inferior to corned beef. The deposits, continues the news- paper, have a known extension of many square miles and would be able to furnish meat food to the world for a long time.

Special Dispatch to The Call SPOKANE, Wash., April 5.—With a bot- tle of carbolic acid Miss Ollie Dumbauld, a student at the Juliaette, Idaho, High School and daughter of a prominent farmer of that vicinity, ended her life last night. A story of disappointment in love is re- | vealed by the suicide. The girl was six- teen years of age. She wrote a letter to Frank Snyder, with whom she was keep- ing company, but who is said to have jilted her. This letter has not been given up by Snyder. Another for the girl's sister and her husband. The letter reads: Mr. Arthur Perryman and My Dear va: There Is one thing I ask of you.

A few minutes later the sister's baby began to cry loudly, arousing Perryman, who was in another room. He called to Miss Dum- bauld and heard a heavy fall in the girl's room. He found her on the floor in the throes of death. Physicians were called at once, but nothing could be done. Miss Dumbauld had taken two ounces of car- bolic acid. The contents of one bottle had evidently been mixed with laudanum, and a small portion remained in the bot- tle. She died an hour after taking the poison. —_— MISSING SON CAUSES STERN MUCH ANXIETY Proprietor of mt;pfiu Jewelry | Company Fears Robbery, but Is Mistaken. There was considerable disturbance in the household of Joseph Stern, proprietor of the Enterpise Jewelry Company at 637 Clay street, Saturday morning over the sudden disappearance of his son, Solomon. According to the statement of the family | the young man turned up all right last night, but they omit details of his where- abouts during the hours- that brought them anxiety. Young Solomon telephoned to his family Saturday evening that he was about to take a number of diamonds to a pros- | pective buyer in Oakland for the purpose of inspection. The gems were of much | value and he said he would return by 9 o’clock that night. He faifed to put in an appearance at that hour, however, and his relatives started to search the city for him, suspecting that he had probably been robbed and possibly murdered. As late as 2 o'clock yesterday morning they were still searching and telephoning to the police of this city and Oakland, then went home distracted with fear. Yesterday Stern refused to give any in- formation concerning the disappearance of his son, and finally, when pressed last night, said that Solomon was “all right.” but refused to give further information. —————————— Waiter Attacked by Two Men. ‘While Policeman P. C. Blick was stand- ing on the corner of Third and Jessie streets about 5 o'clock vesterday morn- ing, he heard the sound of a police whistie | at Third and Stevenson streets. He ran there and saw two men beating one of the waiters in the Palace Grotto, 20 Third | street. The two men were Edward Burns, a jockey, and H. 8. Mann, who said he was a physician. They were both arrested and booked at the City Prison on a charge of disturbing the peace. Burns had a cut on his forehead and was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital to have it dressed.

Senator Hanna Striving to Retain Control in the Cities. toes i CINCINNATI, April The local elee- tions throughout Ohio to-morrow are more Important than heretofore, owing to the new municipal code enacted recently by the Legislature, which reorganizes every municipality. There will no officers holding over and for this reason the party advantages obtained will be greater than heretofore at April elections. With more at stake than previously the party ganizations have been unusually active, and there are many charges of fraudulent registration. Several hundred warrants were prepared In Cincinnati to-day for service to-morrow. It is charged that more than 1000 false registrations have been made in a single ward. The presenc registration has broken all April records, also In other cities. The Mayors of all the larger places like Cincinnati, Cleveland, Coiumbus, Toledo.

The election to-morrow is closely watch- ed, also on account of its bearing on (ha candidacy of Myron T. Herrick of Cleve- land for the Republican nomination for Governor and the re-election of Senator Hanna. The Legislature chosen next November will name Hanna's successor and the control of the municipalities is of importance in the commg State elec- tion.
