VICTORY
Radical Prohibitionists Refuse
to Compromise With
Wine Interests.
HOT CAMPAIGN FORECAST
sliniate of Half Billion as Dam
age Done to One of State's Lead
ing Interests Believed
Have Turned Scale,
to
SAX FRANCISCO, March 15. (Spe
cial.) That the initiative law which
-goes on the ballot In November, when
voters of California will cast their bal
lots for and against state-wide prohi
bition, will be defeated is the estimate
of the conservative business men who
have reviewed the situation.
Admittedly tne forces in California
for prohibition are strong, particularly
in Southern California, but there are
strong interests working: against the
proposed law and so much money is
being expended that it is thought im
possible such a drastic measure as is
proposed will have much chance.
Wine Included In Ban.
The suggested initiative measure not
only would prohibit the sale of whisky
within the State of California, but as
well would prohibit the manufacture
of wines or other liquors. There is
where it cuts the deepest and that is
why it is believed that it cannot carry.
The more conservative of the prohi
bitionists realize this, and only last
Friday held a meeting at Los Angeles
for the purpose of endeavoring to bring
about consent to the drafting of a new
petition which would permit of the
manufacture of wines in the state but
not the sale of stronger liquors. The
radicals refused to countenance any
such concession, and declared them
selves willing to stand or fall on the
strict platform of total prohibition.
Half Billion Damage Feared.
The state-wide prohibition movement
was organized about two years ago in
Los Angeles, in which there are 10,000
members. The petition to abolish the
manufacture of wines as well as the
sale of liquor was circulated a year
ago, and in the last 12 months there
were secured about 111,000 signatures,
or nearly three times the requisite
number.
It is estimated that the passage of.
such a law would wipe out wine-making,
one of California's largest indus
tries, and that the vineyards would be
torn up, the damage to property run
ning close to $500,000,000. The retail
liquor dealers organized for their own
fight, but the wine men refused to join
hands. Instead, they have formed their
own organization, a powerful one, with
large financial backing.
Argument Thought Effective.
Their tight is not made against the
sale of liquor, but on the injury that
would be done the state. They have
made arguments that apparently have
convinced many, and it is by reason of
their attitude that the prophets expect
the bill to be defeated.
It is said that more than $1,000,000
has been raised by the menaced inter
ests and that divisional headquarters
will be established in San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Fresno ccd Oakland to
make the fight. '

Wealthy Mr. Arnold, in New York,
Says He Has Received 50 Letters
in Month Promising Clews
and Seeking Reward.
LOS ANGELAS, March 15. The hal
lucinations of a young woman, Emily
Splawn O'DelL who was only recently
freed of a bad check charge on account
of alleged irrationality, was responsi
ble for the latest "And" of the missing
Dorothy Arnold, of New York. Her hus
band, Charles O'Dell, identified her to
day and declared the story she told
yesterday of being the missing daugh
ter of the wealthy New York merchant
was the product of a mental disorder.
Under the name of Mabel de More
she obtained from the New York police
the facts relating to the Arnold case
and, equipped with this information,
she was prepared to "admit" the iden
tity which her disordered fancy had
conferred on her.
She appeared calm today, but was
either the victim of aphasia or was
skilfully shamming its symptoms. She
still declared she was Dorothy Arnold
and denounced her "father," Mr. Ar
nold, for not answering many letters
sha had written to him.
NEW YORK, March 15. The declara
tion of Miss Emily Splawn O'Dell, of
Los Angeles, that she is Dorothy Ar
nold, who disappeared from her home
in this city in 1910, was today de
scribed as "pure nonsense" by the
father of the missing girl, Francis R.
Arnold.
John S. Keith, attorney for Mr. Ar
nold, who has been taking an active
part In the world-wide search for the
girl, expressed himself similarly.
That he had received a letter from
a Los Angeles attorney was the only
information Mr. . Arnold had to give.
He placed no credence in the story that
his daughter had been found.
"It is pure nonsense," he said. "I
have received 50 letters within the last
month from all parts of the country,
the writers claiming to have found my
daughter and seeking rewards.
"I pay no attention to them."

Harrv Clark, over six feet tall, res
idence Grangeville, ' Idaho, related to
Detective Captain Miles at police head
auarters yesterday his experience with
a "lady barber" at her shop. He showed
an empty pocket, a wen-manicured
countenance and a black eye.
He said he fell asleep under the ten
der manipulations of the masseuse and
In plain sight of pedestrians, and that
when he awoke it was to look a bill
for $5.75 in the face." .
On being asked w hat the bill was for
he said he was presented with a de
tailed account as given above. "You
got the round trip," added the female
tonsorial artist.
Clark thrust a hand into his pocket
to draw out a $20 gold certificate which
he said was there when he entered.
When he told the lady barber that he
was without funds she politely slapped
him five times on the left cheek and
gave him a body blow over the right
eye, he said. ,
She added that she had two brothers
and wished that" they were present.
Clark said he wished they were, too,
as he wanted to lick someone In her
family and could not touch a woman.
"She declared I could not leave the
place until I paid and threatened to
take my shirt and trousers for secur
ity," Clark told the authorities.
It was only after Sergeant Warner
had found a friend to pay the bill that
Clark was allowed to escape. He said
he was never quite so glad to leave any
place and he had been in some tight
situations with lions, cougars and
other wild animals. He proposed to
fight the case if it cost him $100.
"That fellow came into the shop and
actualy ordered everything done on
our price list," said Mrs. Nagle, who
said that- she was the barber that did
the work. "He had been drinking, but
he was by no means intoxicated and
so far as we knew he had all his senses
except the common one.
"And then what do you think? He
tried to tell the policeman that we had
him hypnotized and took his money
away from him."

He argued for- a bigger Navy and
referred to the need of 30,000 addi
tional men.
He said the fleet recently organized
among the yacht clubs along the At

feeder for the Navy in time of war

seemingly on the point of disbanding.
the 300 members of the unemployed
"army" on the Yolo County side of the
Sacramento River were cheered up to
day by a collection taken for them at
a meeting held by Sacramento clergy
men and by exhortations of Mrs. Cora
Bates, of Sacramento, who spoke from
a soap box.
Mrs. Bates likened the men to
martyrs of Christendom, and com
pared "General" Kelley, one of their
leaders, to Napoleon. The encouraged
men began again their talk of a march
to Washington. It was a dramatic serv
ice that was held in the open air on the
river bank by the ministers of Sacra
mento, ' around whom were grouped
some 3 of the unemployed.
Koble Men, Saya Woman.
It was purely a service of religion
and brotherly love, and when it ended
a collection was taken up for the idle
army. Subscriptions totalled $14. Mrs.
Bates then jumped on a box and,- in
spite of the pleas of the ministers, be
gan an address. She said. v
"You are all noble gentlemen, en
gaged in a great cause the cause of
freedom and I love you all. God bless
you tor your noble purpose."
More han 100 of the army left today
and It is believed there will be not
more than 100 in camp tomorrow night.
Talk Not Approved.
Rev. A. B. Patton, of the First Con
gregational Church in this city, and
S. Fraser Langford, of the Baptist
Churoh, were among the speakers at
the services for the unemployed and
they took up the collection. This
money will be used tomorrow to buy
food.
Mr. Langford said:
"We intend only to buy food with
the money we collected today, but we
have no intention of trying to retain
this arm,y of idle men here. We did
not approve of Mrs. Bates addressing
the men, and left when she began to
speak."

OF BRIGHTS DISEASE
Suppose we agree with those who be
lieve Bright's Disease Incurable and
use the term "life prolonged." Now
let us cite three cases.
It was twenty-two years ago that the
daughter of the late N. W. Spaulding,
then Mayor of Oakland, was at the end
of a long siege of Bright's Disease,
with dropsy, and looked upon as hope
less. It was twenty-four years ago
that Mrs. M. Empey. of Steiner street,
was in such a condition, due to Bright's
Disease and dropsy, that "two of our
best physicians" gave her up. It was
fourteen years ago that "the most
noted analyst in this city" passed on
the genuineness of the supposed incur
able case of Bright's Disease of Editor
R. M. Wood, of this city.
AH of the above are pursuing their
daily avocations at this writing, Janu
ary, 1914.
The ability of Fulton's Renal Com
pound to reduce albumen In many
cases of Bright's Disease is not a mat
ter of opinion, but a FACT IN PHYSICS,
and we will mail formula for albumen
tests that will show the percentage
from week to week. As the albumen

WHAT .TO DO FOR NEURALGIA
The one great symptom of neuralgia
is pain; the one great cause is lack
of nutrition for the nerves, in plain
language starved nerves.
There are two things to do for any
form of neuralgia. Apply heat to the
affected part to soothe the pain, and
feed the nerves by taking a tonic con
taining tne elements needed by them.
Heat, as afforded by hot flannel, hot
water bags, etc., lulls the Inflamed
nerves into temporary quiet. It does
not cure. Not until the nutrition of
the nerves Is restored will the in
flammation subside.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish to
the blood the needed elements and
the blood conveys them to the nerves.
The only way of getting food or medi
cine to the nerves is through the
olooa. Kememuer tnat.
Neuralgia is a general term. It
means inflammation of a nerve. It is
given different nai ;es according to the
nerve affected. Sciatica is neuralgia
of the sciatic nerve. Application of
heat will soothe the pain In all forms
of neuralgia and Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will, correct the condition that
caused it.
Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and the Dr. Williams Medi
cine Co.. Schenectady, N. Y., will send
you a little book on "Home Treatment
of Nervous Disorders" for the asking.
