t jl-OS ANGELES, March 26. (Special.)
The recall election Is over. George Al
l fxandcr is elected Mayor by a majority of
ir.Cl votes. Thus the recall faction has
I -won at every turn of the bitter right
marie in the past six weeks.
The surprise of the election was the
vote captured by the Socialist. Wheeler.
Against Alexander s 14,003. Wheeler got
12.3-4::. The Socialists did not do active
campaigning with the hope of winning
until Harper's resignation, and then they
had no campaign fund with which to
, work. Lust night they were unable to
, raise J50 necessary to have some dodgers
printed for distribution at the polls. But
the regular Republican organization
threw many votes to Wheeler, and many
of the Democratic votes that elected
Harper when the Republicans were badly
pplit two years ago were given the So
cialist ticket.
The full Socialist vote of the city is
less than 4000. as In shown by the vote
received hy Eugene V. Debs at the last
, Presidential election.
Fight of Recallers.
The recallers began their fight two
weeks before the petition was filed de
manding Harper's recall from office.
They were unable to settle upon a can
didate, but finally the place at the head
of the ticket was offered Walliam D.
Stephens, who later became Mayor pro
tern., filling the office between the time
of Harper's resignation and today's elec
tion. Stephens finally refused to rtn,
, and after some little delay Alexander was
chosen. Alexander has been an office
' holder for many years. He was a regu
. lar Republican until two years ago, when
? he Joined the Lincoln-Roosevelt League.
Socialists' False Hopes.
. The result of today's election was in
, qouDt-up to a late hour. The Socialists
, 'ere confident of whining after th r.i
c etuurns came In showing a much greater
i toil! ior vt neeier man had been antlcl-
, bihi. i no Alexander forces were cor-
; ysponcungiy cast down, and at 9 o'clock
J hey would not state that their rartri Mat
j ljad been successful. Later returns, how
1 ver- principally from the residence dis-
j ncts, snowed strong gains for Alexander,
. niu at it o clock there was no longer
any question.
' ' Recallprs Well Organised.
The recallers had carriages and antn.
mobiles at the disposal of the voters and
gooa organizations at the polls. The
Wheeler forces, on the contrary, had no
.' Yorkers In the various precincts and no
means of transportation to capture bal-
! None the less, the Socialists are de-
, qgntea at ITielr showing tonight. It is

j ver. as having no real significance, be

dence of the death secret of Mrs. Pierre

tonight on its journey to the grave.
The funeral party left the Lorillard
residence on Hillyer Place this after
noon for New York. At the old home
of the Lorillards at Irvington-on-the-Hudson
the body will be interred to
morrow. The husband, one of the fa
mous Lorillards of the tobacco business
and prominent clubman and sportsman,
and his son Pierre, by their own pref
erence, were the only mourners.
A few of Mrs. Lorillard's most inti
mate friends, principally those who
gathered with her on the night of her
death at the dinner given by Mrs
Richard Townsend, were present at the'
funeral services. Among these were the
Belgian Minister and Baroness Mon
cheur, Mrs. Chauncey Depew, Mrs

daughter of the former British Am
bassador. Secret Laid Away In Shroud.
After the funeral the most dramatic
event of the day occurred when Dr. J
Ramsey Neville, the Coroner, laid away
in the folds of the shroud two notes and
the mysterious trinkets found on Mrs
Lorillard's body after her death.
Mrs. Lorillard wrote neither of the
notes after she returned from the Town
send dinner. It is now believed that the
only words she wrote on the morning of
her death were those on an envelope that
contained the notes and trinkets. They
were:
"Bury this with my body, unopened."
One of the notes was addressed to Mrs.
Lorillard and was in the handwriting of
another person. The second note had
been written by Mrs. Lorillard. evidently
many days before her death. It was
dent that It was Mrs., Lorillard's hope
that neither the notes nor the trinkets
would be revealed to human eye after
she had turned from them.
Deliberately Inhaled Gas.
A study of Mrs. Lorillard's apart
ments is said to have led to the con
clusion that she deliberately Inhaled
the poisonous fumes until a gentle stu
por seized her. Then she calmly lay
down upon the rug in the bathroom
to sleep until death.
It is believed that Mr. Lorillard has
become reconciled to the verdict of
suicide rendered by Coroner Neville.
He told some of the callers of the ex
treme despondency to which his wife
was subject at times.
Telegrams of condolence were re
ceived by Mr. Lorillard today from all
over the world, and society women In
large numbers left their card-s.

MARINES AT OLD DUTIES
TAFT RESCINDS LAST REMNANT
OF ROOSEVELT'S ORDER.
Advised by General Board, Presi
dent Carries Out Purpose
of Congress' Act.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The last
remaining vestige of the Roosevelt or
der taking marines oft the battleship?
and cruisers of the United States . Navy
was -swept away today, when President
Taft directed that an order be issued
restoring the marines to ' exactly the
same duties they had performed before
they were ordered ashore.
After Congress had placed a provision
in the Navy appropriation bill that a
certain percentage of the marine corps
should be assigned to ship duty, an or
der was issued . the day before Mr.
Roosevelt went out of office, restoring
the marines to ships, but placing them
tinder the orders of the captains of the
vessels.
Under the old system the marine"were
given specific duties. One of these was
to fight certain guns of the secondary
battery. -The order placing them under
the direction of the ship's captain made
it possible to assign the marines to any
sort of duty and to deprive them of
fighting any part of the ship"s battery.
In restoring the old regulations the
President acted upon the recommenda
tion of the General Board of the Navy.

Demonstration Train.

day at Dayton. Waitsburg and Prescott.
Upon the arrival -of the train in Walla
Walla the party, was entertained at din
ner at the Hotel D' Acres by the local
representatives of the railroad company.
At the tables were the several profes
sprs from the State College and repre
sentatives of the departments of the rail
way, the Farmers" Union and the news
papers of Washington and Oregon.
Ail responses to toasts proposed were
along the line of a great neeH of co
operation between the farmers, the col
lege and the transportation companies,
the burden of thought being that the
prosperity of one depended upon the
prosperity of the others.
It is fully expected that the attendance
at the meetings to be held here tomor
row will be much larger than on former
occasions of the visit of the demonstra
tion trains. The farmers organizations
have taken an active interest in promot
ing the attendance during the entire trip,
and it is fully expected that a thousand
farmers and fruit growers will be pres
ent tomorrow.
The meetings at Dayton. Waitsburg and
Prescott were such as to tax the capacity
of the train, and the arrangements made
to care for them.' From Walla Walla the
train will proceed to Touchet tomorrow
afternoon and then return to Pullman.

ARREST HEALTH OFFICER
Action Is Result of Doctors' Squab
ble In Walla Walla.
WALLA. WALLA, Wash., March 26.
(Special.) By reason of his alleged
failure to comply with the law which
says that he shall report every contagious
disease to the county health officer not
later than a week after discoverv. Dr.
Fales. City Health Officer, was arrested
yesterday morning, his trial taking pla.ee
in me jueiice i-ouri yesterday afternoon.
The arrest is the culmination of a bitter
doctors" war that has been waged in
the city since the present incumbent ac
cepted the position at the request of
the City Council, and because of his
alleged high-handed methods the re
mainder of the local fraternity have
been endeavoring for some time to obtain
his discharge. Nothing came of this
move, however, and when Dr. Fales had
another practitioner arrested for failing
to report a certain case of a contagious
disease to him, the other doctors rose in
arms and decided to take a hand. The
warrant for the arrest , of the City
Health Officer was the result.
After a legal battle lasting over an
hour, both sides being represented by
able attorneys, the Justice of the Peace
took the case under advisement and will
rule later upon the technicality entered
in the demurrer, and also upon the
motion for dismissal introduced by the
attorney for the defendant.
