fail to appear by an early hour In the
afternoon, efforts will be made to find
where they are.
Steamships May Delay Sailing.
Steamship companies have been re
quested to withhold their sailings un
til such an hour on Tuesday as will
permit all residents of the city to vote
and big commercial concerns have
called in their salesmen at the request
of business interests.
Several thousand automobiles are to,
be out for the day and any voter who
telephones to headquarters will be
carried to his polling place. This is not
a caso of getting out any particular
vote.' No questions are asked. The
civic bodies want to poll a record vote
and they are riot concerned with
whether a man Is lor Wilson or
HugHfes.
Californians and San Franciscans as
well are concerned with measures that
are purely local, although of tremen
dous importance hereabouts.
One of the big- things on the state
ballot is the Issuance of $15,000,000 of
road bonds to complete the work that
has already been done for good roads
in the state. There are laterals to bo
constructed and necessary improve
ments to be made if the state is to have
a road system well worth while. So far
there has been no opposition organ
ized, at least and the automobile as
sociation, which is fostering this meas
ure, believes that it will go through
with flying colors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. If political
wiseacres count for anything and if
the placing of wagers Is an indication
of the future, the following predictions
have some ground for their making on
this, the eve of the Presidential elec
tion in California:
Charles Evans Hughes will carry the
state.
Governor Johnson will be elected
f nited States Senator by an overwhelm
ing vote.
Both prohibition amendments will be
defeated No. 1. or total prohibition, by
an overwhelming vote, and No. 2 by
a vote that will be decidedly smaller
in comparison.
Such at least Is the treni of public
opinion at this writing and while the
prophets are as likely to go astray as
astute bettors are to be wrong, this
Information is given for what it is
worth.
Johnson Forcn for Hughes.
Two or three weeks ago the Republi
can forces were willing to concede
they had a hard fight on their hands
to carry the state for Hughes. Today,
although the Democrats are naturally
counting on a divided Republicanism
to help them out, the Johnson forces,
wlio are In full control, declare that
California Is safely within the ranks
of the Republican party.
Betting odds run:
Even that Hughes will be elected
President of the United States.
'Ten to seven that Hughes will-carry
the state.
Four to one that Johneon will be
elected Senator.
Even that Johnson will defeat Pat
ton by 175.000.
Four to one that amendment No. 1
(complete prohibition) will be defeated
and even money that No. 1 will be de
feated by 125,000 votes.
Two to one that amendment No. 2
(which would prohibit the sale of
liquor In ' less than two-gallon lots)
will be defeated.
A fortnight ago it was no better than
even money on Hughes to carry the
state and the switch is an indication
that the supporters of the Republican
nominee are confident.
Johnson Is Galjilng.
The price likewise denotes that John
son's strength throughout the length
of the Golden West is gaining. Two
weeks ago the most the ardent sup
porters of the Governor would tlaim
was that he would have 100,000 over
Patton. Today that has been advanced
B0, 000 votes.
Indeed, it Is the support attracted
to Johnson that has caused people to
figure the head of Progressive-Republicanism
will carry with him Mr.
Hughes. Not so much in San Francisco
as in the farming regions Johnson has
been waging a strong fight for the Re
publican etandardbearer, and since
Hiram W. himself has so many staunch
supporters. It is believed he will be
able to carry hundreds of them with
him to Hughes.
There is no bitterness, and as Cali
fornia is normally a Republican state,
there is much reason in the theory that
it will not desert to President Wilson
and the Democrats.
Old-time politicians are unable to ac
count for the burst of popularity shown
by Governor Johnson in his triumphal
march the length of the state. Some
time ago Johnson's star seemed to be
on the wane. There were certain in
dications in votes on measures advo
cated by the Governor to cause people
to believe he had reached his limit.
But since he gained the Republican
nomination for the Senate there has
has been only one question Just how
large will his majority be. Of late the
former running mate of Roosevelt on
the Progressive ticket has been chiefly
concerned with running up as large a
vote as possible.
SI any Climbing- on Bandwagon.
How well he has apparently suc
ceeded is indicated, as has been Inti
mated, by the betting odds. To carry
California over a Democratic opponent
"by 175,000 votes is a stupendous under
taking, yet such seems to be the pros
pect. It Is a case of everybody even
former enemies getting behind the
nominee. Naturally, with his success.
there are a lot of people who like to
clamber aboard the bandwagon, and
they will all count when the vote is
totaled next Tuesday night.
Men in the liquor business are far
more cheerful over the situation than
before. While they have all agreed
that the No. 1 amendment stood no
chance of passage, chiefly because of
the wine interests, they were decidedly
concerned over No. 2, which would
have wiped out the saloons and done
away with the sale of liquor In clubs or
restaurants.
Much money has been spent by the
allied interests in the campaign and
only this week has there developed a
: " belief that No. 2 stands no chance or
I . winning. Prohibition interests, which
T '- have made a spirited campaign for sev-
I eral weeks to carry No. 2. have dropped
i ' away and there is no longer concerted
I action on the part of the drys."
SL In any event. It would not mean lm
2 mediate action. The sponsors of No. 1
amendment have provided that It
should go into effect in 1920, providing.
. of course, that it secures enough votes
v while No. 2 would not be effective for
two years, or 1918. giving the liquor
' interests something of a chance to get
. out from under.
Large Vote Will Be Polled.
There is every Indication that the
largest vote will be polled in Califor
nia in the history of the state. The
total registration eligible to partici-
i pate In the general election nextTues
day will be 1.300.000, an Increase of
80.000, according to an estimate made
this week by the state election depart
ment.
All but six counties of the state have
made their reports, but, accepting fig
ures of 1914 for outstanding counties.
the total vote will have increased at
least 80,000. At the last state elec
tion the total vote was 1,219,000.
As eight counties have failed to seg
regate the electors according to party
affiliation. Secretary Jordan will be un
able to furnish the total registration by
parties.
Los Angeles has divided its figures
Into city and county, there being 224,
50 voters in the city proper and 136.
4 60 in the rest of the county, or a total
of 360,910.
San Francisco civic bodies are mak
Ing special . efforts to see, that every
registered voter appears at the polls,

TRIBUTE PAID MOTHER
SOX RETURNS AFTER. 70 TEARS TO
MARK GRAVE WITH MONUMENT.
R. I.. Dnshtel, of Dallas, Or., Goes to
Louisville, Ky, to Put up Shaft to
. "the Beautiful Lady on the Hill."
LOUISVILLE. Ky, Nov. 4. (Special.)
R L Dashiel, a native of Louisville and
now a resident of Dallas, Or. came here
after an absence or 70 years to honor
the memory of his mother, "the beau
tiful lady on the hill," arid has now
returned to his Western home after
attending the dedication of a monu
ment to his mother on the old bury
ing ground of the Dashiell family.
For two weeks Mr. Dasblell. old and
gray-bearded, superintended . excavation
on the site of the cemetery of 70 years
ago, which later was the site of a
fort built by General Don Carlos Buell
at the approach of Bragg's troops from
the South. The old man confided bis
ecret to none of the residents of the
vicinity, hence aroused much curiosity.
At the end of that time there was ex
cavated the remains believed to be
those of his mother. Mrs. D. W. Dashiell.
The expense of the trip, location, ex
cavation and monument was borne
Jointly by Mr. Dashiell and his brother.
Dr. D. v. Dashiell, a noted physician
in the early days of Kentucky.. When
the Oregon man was only 6 years old
his mother, the central figure in the
famous old play. "The Beautiful Lady
on the Hill," and said to have been one
of the most beautiful women In Ken
tucky, died. She was buried in the
orchard near the old Dashiell place
and a massive brick wall, 40 feet
square, was built around the burying
ground. A year later, taking his two
little boys, the physician went nest.
This was in 1843.
Much history is connected with the
Dashiell place. The house, built in
1835, still stands. In it were enter
tained at different times Henry Clay,
President Zachary Taylor, George D.
Prentice and other Kentucky notables.
The monument, dedicated by two Louis
ville pastors, has the following inscrip
tion: v
"Erected to the Memory of My
Mother, Mrs. D. W. Dashiell. the Beau
tiful Lady on the Hill."

-IN MEXICO KILLED

SANTA ROSALIA IS TAKEN

Also Confirmed by Refugees.
Carranza Troops Retire
Before Attackers.
CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico, via Kl
Paso Junction, Nov. 4. Dr. Fisher, an
American physician living at Santa Ro
salia, was killed by the Villa bandits
under General Baudelio Uribe, accord
ing to the statement of a Mexican
refugee who arrived here from Santa
Rosalia late today.
Dr. Fisher was one of the few Amer
icans known to have been in Santa
Rosalia at the time the Villa bandits
captured the town.
Chinese and Arabs Executed.
General Uribe's bandits also executed
several Chinese and Arab residents of
Santa Rosalia on October 26. General
Uribe. In a speech delivered after the
capture of the town, accused foreign
ers of being enemies of Villa's cause,
and then ordered summary executions
of the Chinese and Arab residents.
Jimenez, the junction point on the
Mexican Central Railroad of the Parral
line, has been evacuated by Carranza
forces under General Fortunato May
cotte, who has fallen back upon Esca
lon, about 80 miles south of Jimenez
on the same railroad, a semi-official
report received here from the south
states.
Villa Uses Captured Train.
According to this report. Villa forces
abandoned Santa Rosalia and proceed
ed south on Jimenez, using a railroad
train which had been captured from
General Maycotte s forces north of Jim'
enez after a brief skirmish between the
Carranza train guards and r' ' van
guards. As Jimenez was not considered
of especial 4 strategic importance, and
as it was not thought suited for de
fensive action, it was evacuated by
General Maycotte's forces, which fell
back upon Escalon as a base, accord
ing to this same report.
As Escalon it is said thnt a Junction
will be effected with General Murgia's
division of 6000 troops and the forces
of General Domingo Arrieta and those
of General Herrera.
The report that General Maycotte
expected to effect a Junction with the
forces of General Herrera at Escalon is
believed to confirm the report that Par
ral was evacuated by ttie Carranza
forces under General Luis Herrera, as
he is the only Carranza commander by
that name operating in this zone.
EL PASO. Tex.. Nov. 4. Government
agents here received what they claim
to be reliable information today that
Santa Rosalia, Parral and Jiminez have
been taken by Villa bandits. It is not
known whether these towns were held
by the bandits after their capture.
American mining mn also received
what they say is additional confirma
ton today of the report that Tarral was
taken on Tuesday.
Herrera's Troops Retire.
The government agents say they
have reports showing that General Luis
Herrera moved out of Parral before
the approach of the Villa bandits and
retired to San Francisco del Oro, in
the mountains near Parral. It is be
lieved by State Department officials
that the Americans in Parral accom
panied this column.
An employe of a Parral mining com
pany arrived here today by way of
Torreon. Mexico, and Eagle Pass, Tex.,
and said Parral was in the hands of
the Carranza forces when he left there
on October 27. He said he had talked
with Carranza soldiers at Jiminez,
whose ears had been cut off by Villa
bandits at Santa Rosalia.
The mining man added that the Car
ranza soldiers reported that the bandits
had unspeakably mutilated at least 10
of the Carranza soldiers at Santa Ro
salia. SAN ANTONIO. Tex., Nov. 4. Gen
eral Funston received a report from
General Pershing today on the recent
engagement at Santa Ana between 110
cowboys doing guard duty on the
Sabricora and Namlquipa ranches and
a band of about 60 Villa soldiers. The
report said several of the bandits were
killed, in addition to those taken pris
oners and turned over to the Carranza
military authorities.
