CITIZENS ISSUE APPEAL Thousand Business Men Join in Urg ing That All Bnsiness Be Put Aside Until Good Govern ment Has Won. LOS ANGELES. Dec. 2. (Special.) With the last guns fired in the mu nicipal campaign, the struggle between the Socialists and their opponents, united for the fray, rests with the vot ers, men and women this time, at the election booths next Tuesday. That the confession of the McNa maras will have a great deal to do with the result Is admitted by both sides, although the Socialists are careful to point out that the case has not en tered into the political discussion at any time. Job Harrlman. candidate of the So cialists for Mayor, today published a statement he had received from his as sociates as counsel for the McNamaras, saying that they had kept from blm purposely all knowledge of the Im pending confessions because they did not wish to hamper In his candidacy. They also specify that they had not considered the effect the confessions might have on the election, and that they accepted the terms when they were offered without regard to any other matter. In the struggle between the Social ists and their opponents,' complicated with the excitement and passions aroused by the McNamara case, the most drastic prohibition ordinance probably ever devised has been almost forgotten. It has lacked open advo cates, either in the press or on the rostrum, and apparently Is doomed to defeat. Should It be adopted, not only the sale but the manufacture of liquors will be prohibited within the city. Apprehension In Kelt.

Wrlswell, on the floor above. When Mrs. Phillips saw the burglar she advanced upon him so bravely that he fled. The burglar secured only a gold bracelet from the apartments of the Wrtswells.

All Trance "is Interested In the suit for alienation of her husband's affections brought by the wife of Professor Langevln against Madame Curie, dis coverer of radium, winner of the Nobel prize for chemistry and declared to be the most intellectual woman in tha world. A great portion of the public including scientists and may govern' ment officials, sympathize with Madam Curie and are endeavoring to shield het name and reputation. It rather pleased most people td know that the discoverer of radium,, one of the wizards of the age, was, after all, only a woman who loved, and, better still, loved her co-worker in sci-. ence, a man who had been associated with her in her remarkable life work. However much right there may be in Mrs. Langevlns suit. It is true that she gets little sympathy. Solt May Be -Withdrawn. Negotiations are being made to havs Madage Langevln withdraw her suit and settle the case out of court. Madame Langevln's terms for consent ing to withdraw the criminal pharge which Involves the reputation of both Madame Curie and Professor Lngevin Include not only the custody of the children, but a specific understanding that a divorce shall be granted her by the Civil Court. The publication of letters between Madame Curie and professor Langevin reveal an abounding affection between the two. with Madame Curie appearing as the stronger character. These let ters, cited by Mrs. Langevin as grounds for her suit, show that Madame Curie and her husband have been close friends since July 15, 1910. when the professor rented and furnished a small apartment near the Sorbonne and where the couple are alleged to have met daily. Scientist la Shielded. The large section of the public that sympathizes with Madame Curie argues that a woman of her achievements should be spared Interference with her private life. Government officials are trying to shield Madame Curie and all the members of the Sorbonne. who are jealous of their reputation as a sci entific body, are doing likewise. On the other hand, the Royalists aro attacking this stand, seizing the oppor tunity to criticize republican officials and institutions. The bitter article written by Gustav Thery has already precipitated a series of duels. A farci cal duel wa fought recently by Thery and Professor Langevin. professor's Will Torn. Madame Langevln's suit Is scheduled to come to trial December 9 but there Is a general belief that It will ba post poned Indefinitely and never be tried. The correspondence between Madame Curie and Professor Langevln shows that it was the plan for the professor to divorce his wife and marry Madame Curie. They show also that the pro fessor's will was frequently 'torn byi his wife on one side and Madame Curie. It is apparent that Langevin, made Madame Curie his confidant and friend and that when his home life became unpleasant he sought consola tion from her. I.rttera Are Published.
