Special to The Telegram.
Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 6—The-
voters of the State of California have
one of the most interesting fights
in the history this year not only for
the governorship, for which Hiram
Johnson of this city is the Republi-
can candidate amd Theodore A. Bell
of Napa the Democratic selection,
but in many of the assembly districts
and for other State officers. One of
the interesting features of the battle
was the primary contests for the Re-
publican nominations. In one of the
Sacramento assembly districts Grove
L. Johnson, the aged father of the
man who won the Republican nomi-
nation for governor on the insurgent
platform, was a candidate on the
"stand pat," or regular ticket. John-
son, the son, won hie battle by a big
majority, whllle the father went down
In defeat with other opponents of his
offspring. But—and here Is the in-
teresting part of the story—one Pro-
hibitionist placed the name of the
father. Grove L. Johnson, on a ballot,
and he won the Prohibition nomina-
tion on that one vote. Again, there
were twenty-eight Democrats who
voted for Grove L. and the same num-
ber who voted for a man named Bliss.
This was a tie, and the supervisors
of the county must decide whether
Bliss or Johnson shall have the nom-
ination on the Democratic ticket by
tossing a coin. Should Johnson se-
nior win the Democratic nomination
he will again be opposed to his son,
as be will be compelled to take the
stump with hi« son on the opposition
ballots.

rified to find the remaining mem-
bers of her family lying deal, all of
them having been terribly mutilated
by blows from an axe.

quarters here received early infor-

connection with the murder of De-
tective Petrosino, who was assassin-
ated (at Palermo nearly two years
ago while on a confidential mission
for this City and the United States
government.
It could not be learned at head-
quarters that Rovolino ever had any
dealings with Petroslna or hie suc-
cessors, and the police department
was disinclined to believe that the
two murders had any connection.

Accused Goes to Jail.
A young man who gives the name
of Barney Bennett, and who seems
to have his home wherever he has
his hat on, but gravitates mostly
from San Antonio up and down the
lines of railroad, lies a prisoner In
the city bastile, put there by Offi-
cers Hunt and Ham.
He and a companion, who Is also
a guest of the city, were arrested by
Mr. Ham last Sunday, for riding a
train. They told a pretty good storv
to the Mayor, who agreed to let
them off if they would go to work.
Mr. Ham soon found a Job for them
and they departed for the Btg Elm
country in a farmer's wagon.
The next appearance of Mr. Ben-
nett was Tuesday morning, when be
showed up in Temple, and not far
behind him came the farmer for
whom he had worked during Mon-
day. The farmer reported the loss of
a ten and a five spot, in good cur-
rency, and suspected his erstwhile
band of having annexed it. A search
of the person of the suspect brought
to light the bills as described from
the lining of the cap worn by the
prisoner.
The other boy was sent for, and
while he had probably not taken the
money, he gave answers which Indi-
cated that he was knowing to it, and
to avoid charges of partiality, both
were locked up.
It 'is alleged that the principal in
the case has served a term in the re-
formatory, at Gatesville, and his age
is given at 18 years.

Austin, Tex.. Sept. 6.—H. G. As-
kew, statistician of the Texas Rail-
roads has given out a statement
showing tbe total operating revenues
and operating expenses of the thirty-
two leading railroads of the Stats
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1910, as compared with previous
period.
The statement showB tbe total op-
erating revenues for 1910 to be $98.-
373,313, an increase of $4,183,152
over 1909.
Total operating expenses for 1910,
$75,313,284, an increase of $4,611,-
942 over the previous year.
Net operating revenue for 1910,
$23,058,028, a decrease of $428,789
from previous year.
In another column will be found
a call to the property owners oa
North Main street to meet this morn-
ing for discussion of important bus-
iness, in connection with the paving
of that street, from Adams Avenue
to French avenue.
It is betraying no secret to state
that one Item of the business to be
considered will be the selection of a
representative to accompany City En-
' glneer Smith to St. Joseph, Uo, to
there inspect a jab of Hasssm paving,
with view of using that process here.
This is in conformity with the peti-
tion of the said property holders,
who requested the council to send
a representative and in response to
that request Mr. Smith was appoint-
ed at the last meeting of the alder-
manic body. He is ready to go, and
it Is desired that the trip be made
in time for return and report to the
meeting of the council next Tuesday
night. By getting 1n a recommenda-
tion at that time, If favorable to the
Hassam, or the brick paving, the
council can take such action as will
close the deal, and open the way for
contracting for the paving of this
residence d'istrlct.
In tact, the council has gon« on
record as agreeing to pave street and
alley intersections in any part of the
city, where property owners will
pave their street frontages, and as
this portion of Main street Is the
first attempt to extend street paving
beyond the business district. It Is of
concern to the whole city, in that
success in the Initial movement will
mean an extensive follow-up action
In other districts. Also, If the com-
mittee sent to investigate the Has-
sam paving reports favorably, and
contract 1s made for same, its in-
troduction here will go a long way
toward solving the paving problem.
If it is as good as represented. It
costs much less than the brick, and
in several particulars Hassam is rec-
ommended as to be preferred for res-
idence streets over brick.
It Is to be hoped that the meeting
thla morning will appoint a man,
and that the inspection can be made
right away. If so, the contractors
can take up the work immediately
on completion of the business dis-
trict contracts, which can be finlah-
ed soon now, after ths brick are re-
ceived for same.
