Alexander Is Confident.
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.
The developments of the day of
balloting are causing the gravest ap
prehension. Cpming after a period of
mental and emotional excitement that
was begun with the dynamiting of the
Times building, nothing would cause
surprise. Riot and bloodshed are the
forecast of some. "To meet emer
gencies," the municipal authorities as
sembled today a force of 700 special

WOMAN CHASES BURGLAR
r
Mr. Cora Phillips Puts Night
Prowler to Ignominious Flight.
Opposing her five feet two inches of
sllsrhtness to an armed burglar who
broke Into Her apartments last night,
Mrs. Cora Phillips, a widow living; in
apartment 215 of the Orland apart
ments at Washington and Twentieth
streets, chased the robber from the
rooms down the stairs and a block up
the street before she gave up the chase.
The plucky defense of the woman is
believed by the police to have saved a
large amount of personal property
since the burglar had already entered
one other apartment.
The robber, who Is believed to be the
"second-story man" who has been
"working" apartment-houses In the
West End, Is thought to have come to
Mrs. Phillips' rooms from the rooms of
W. W. 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

PARIS. Dec. 3. (Special.) 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 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

On the other hand, the Royalists aro

Madame Langevln's suit Is scheduled

Is a general belief that It will ba post

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
