In connection of President Taft with the investigation, made known through the Washington correspondent of a local paper has created intense interest. The chief executive was interested in the case first when be visited Los Angles on his long "swing around the circle." It was at that time, when the state authorities were greatly puzzled because witnesses from other states refused to come to Los Angeles and because they feared they would be onable to get the evidence from the Marion county (Ind.) authorities in Indianapolis that he was appealed to. When the case was laid before him

; end he was told some of the details of the dynamite plot, he agreed that an investigation should be made, especially as it was clearly understood that federal statutes had been violated.

SOCIALISTS LOSE

LOS ANGELES f I Mayor Alexander, Good Government Candidate, Easily Defeats Harriman. (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6. Mayor George Alexander, Good Government candidate, was re-elected yesterday over Job Harriman, the socialist candidate, by a majority estimated at an early hour today at 35,000. The prohibition ordinance was defeated by a 2 to 1 vote. Apparently the entire Citizens ticket was swept into office by the landslide. Frederick T. Wheeler, T. W. Williams and Frank E. Wolfe, socialist candidates for the city council, however, are high up in the count, but it is not thought they will be able to overcome the lead of the men on the citizens ticket. Three socialist candidates for the board of education are also running ahead of their ticket, and there is some doubt here, too, of the final result. The heavy vote cast, far beyond any estimates, has put a burden on the election board and the complete count is not expected until far into the day. The total vote cast was between 135,000 and 140,000, as against 44,000 in the primary election, in which the socialist ticket gained a victory. For the first time in the history of California, women participated as voters, and according to careful estimates their ballots exceeded, the number of men who voted by many thousands. From the opening of the polls until nearly time for them to close, the women showed their intent in civic affairs and justified the claim of the most ardent advocates of equal suffrage by swarming to the voting booths. Throughout the day long lines of voters with women in the predominance

could be seen at the polls in every precinct. The new voters displayed unexpected interest and knowledge of the process of voting. They found their registration numbers, signed the register and marked and folded their ballots in a business-like way. That tbe women voters contributed largely to the re-election of Alexander is admitted by political leaders. One of the strong forces, rendering almost invaluable service in arousing the women to the situation and in securing so nearly universal exercise of the franchise privilege by the sex, was the woman's progressive league. Undoubtedly the collapse of the McNamara defense, of which Harriman was an associate counsel, and the confession of guilt by the dynamiters when they changed their pleas to guilty, had a great effect on the election.

SERIOUSLY HURT TO AVOID SCALDING For injuries of a serious and perhaps permanent character which Fred M. Wills, of near Webster, sustained on August 24, when he jumped from a Pennsylvania locomotive at Knightstown to escape being scalded, he filed suit in the circuit court on Wednesray through his attorneys, Robbins and Robbins, for $10,000 damages. His injuries included the breaking of his left leg below the knee and also at the knee joint, and also bruises, sprains and lacerations to other parts of the body. Wills was a brakeman on the freight train and he alleges that he was riding on the engine in the fulfillment of his duties. He asserts ! that the engine wa3 defective and that i the company knew of its alleged worn out condition. One of the pipes in the boiler broke, he alleges, which permitted the hot vapors to escape and in order to avoid a scalding he jumped, receiving the injuries. Each week at the patent office in Washington about one hundred trademarks are registered.

PLEAD GUILTY TO WIFE . DESERTION Thomas E. Fay, Attired in the Height of Fashion, Sentenced to Prison.

Togged in the most natty fashion and which would gain him the approval of the most effete, Thomas E. Fay, entered a plea of guilty to the desertion of his wife, Edna, and their few months old child in the circuit court i :on Wednesday. His excuse was "no iwork;" the court's sentence was "one to three years in the Jeffersonville reformatory." In contrast to the fashionable front which the husband and father put up his wife and child sat at one side of the court room attired in a neat but plain manner. Mrs. Fay was before her marriage Miss Edna Ingerman of Cambridge City, where she is well known and popular. Her husband is popular among a certain set in this city and it was with three women of this set that he was associating with when arrested on Saturday night and i put in jail in default of $200 bond. He gave his age as 26 years. Last summer soon after the birth of the child Fay deserted his wife and child. He made an appointment to meet them in Indianapolis but when they appeared he was no where to be found and though they waited for him, he never showed up. The realization of her husband's purpose soon impressed itself upon Mrs. Fay's mind and she returned to her father's home, instituting the criminal action soon afterwards. To regain his throne, the former shah of Persia has given up an annual pension of $25,000. Grade Coats

SHOPLIFTERS WILL NOT GCTOFF EASY Police to Protect Merchants Against Kleptomaniacs, Gormon Says. Special police service for the downtown department stores is being arran-

! ged by the police department in order to detect shoplifters. Supt. Gormon has issued a statement that men and women will be employed to watch for thieves and he says that arrests and prosecution will follow in the event that any one is detected stealing an article. Every year, the chief of police says, there is more or less shoplifting and the merchants do not wish to obtain notoriety by having persons caught doI ing this, arrested. The chief says that this year a different plan will be followed and that it will not be up to the merchants to turn the matter over to the police. The persons employed as watchers will make arrests whether the merchant objects or not. "It is not the poorest class of people who become shoplifters," the chief said on Wednesday. "It is those who belong to the average or middle class and the richer the people whom one would not suspect as being in need of what they steal. They steal it, not because they have not the money to pay for the article but for the reason that j they are kleptomaniacs." Last year three women of the well-to-do class were caught stealing things from a store but the merchant refused to have them arrested, fearing the loss of patronage.
