ELECTION HELD
TO RECALL

(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.—Recall
of Charles M. Fickert, district at
torney of San Francisco county was
sought in an election held here today.
Official aspects of the event were
swallowed up in nation-wide contro
versy over Fickert’s activities in ob
taining the indictment and trial of
persons accused of murder in connec
tion with a bomb explosion which kill
ed ten persons here July 22. 1916 in
a preparedness parade. Fickert’s
friends took the position that his re
call was sought because of these cases
which resulted in one sentence of
death, one of life imprisonment and
two acquittals, with one case not vet
adjudicated. His opponents asserted
that his activities against the de
fendants were not warranted by facts
or evidence, and accuses him of “per
secution.” Magazines throughout the
country, and some men in public life,
took sides as to the propriety of these
prosecutions.
Fickert’s opponents today were
Charles Sweigert, who ran second in
the last election for district attorney,
and Frank P, Haynes. Sweigert was
a member of the police commission
just after the fire of 1906. Haynes
took an active part in politics here
some years ago.
The specific charges against Fick

ert. as contained in the recall peti
tions. were that “he has failed to ap
i
predate the duties ana responsibilities
of his office, and has been guilty of
violating the standard of conduct de
manded of him by the supreme court
l
of California, and that he is not con
ducting the office of district attorney
in the interest of justice, and to the
satisfaction of the people of the city
and county of San Francisco.
Several persons were indicted by
1 the grand jury on charges of per
1 jury in connection with the signing
of the recall petitions. 'I’hey were
later released.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 19.—Aus-J
tralian girl swimmers who visit the
I I
United States in the future must be
I l
accompanied by chaperons, and the
1 promoters of the meets in which the1
i
swimmer appears must pay the ex
penses of this guardian as well as
those of the swimmer.
This ruling was made recently by
Australian amateur sporting authori
ties, according to word reaching here.
The first one to be affected by the
ruling will be Miss Fannie Durack,
i
world’s champion wom^n swimmer,
who is contemplating a trip to Ameri
ca in the near future for a number of
meets in Pacific coast and other
states. 1!
One chaperon may accompany a
group of girls, according to the ruling,
but*no girl may participate In swim
ming meets under amateur oraniza
tions without this attendant.
On account of the ruling Pacific
coast swimming promoters figure that
it will cost over $2000 to bring Miss
Durack here for the series of meets
in which it is intended to enter her.
Plans are also under way to have
other Australian girl swimmers come
here under the guidance of the same
chaperon, and they will be brought
over seas if the cost Is not too great.
A similar ruling of the Amateur
Athletic union of America states that
girls under 21 years who swim under
its direction may demand a chaperon,
but the promoter of the meet is giv
en the privilege of either accepting
or rejecting the demand.
