Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation ALDRICH BOSSES THE MACHINE The ninth week of the tariff Congress was notable chiefly in that it made clear to both the friends and the critics of the bill that Senator Aldrich is in absolute control of the situation, and it is evident that the leaders have a firmer grasp than they had a week ago on every senator who has been supporting the bill. A review of the tariff situation a week ago demonstrated that the leaders had adopted a policy of making voluntary concessions by reducing rates on a number of articles. This policy was continued last week and, presumably, will be a feature of future considerations of the bill. Most of the amendments which have been offered by the Finance Committee have provided for lower rates, either in specific terms or in changes of classification which effect reductions. The judgment of President Taft has proved to be sound in his expressed belief that a material saving in the conduct of the army and the navy could be effected without any diminution of efficiency. His sec- LADY BUG DESTROYS APHORIA Stockton, May 29.—In an effort to exterminate what is known as cottony scale, a lot of lady bugs have been imported from Australia put to work in two or three orchards in the vicinity of Lodgia an experiment. Up to date they proved a great success and the in these particular orchards is depearing at a fast rate. On the Moore place and the orchard of Van Gelder these bugs have been ed to good advantage, and the ers of the property are highly pro- ed at the manner in which the s has been killed. The Horticultural Commission has charge of the ex- ment, and the members assert it is proving far better than they ticipated. It will not be necessary spray the trees after these lady bugs get through work. A consignment them was recently received from stralia by the State Board of H culture, and the pest destroyers distributed about the state in a fort to ascertain if they w prove a success. CAMPAIGN AGAINST RATS Washington, May 29.—Rats are receiving continued attention from Agricultural Department. The paign started against them may sult some day in the extermination the pest in this country. A recent bulletin issued by Agricultural Department has it f-ed out that a single rat can eat cents worth of grain a year and if all the rats in the country fed on grain it would cost more $100,000,000 a year to board them. It has been estimated that a The judgment of President Taft has proved to be sound in his expressed belief that a material saving in the conduct of the army and the navy could be effected without any diminution of efficiency. His secretary of the navy has shown that by the application of sound business principles to the problems of his department a material saving can be effected without any of the baneful effects predicted by many who deplored the "parsimonious policy" of the new administration. Mr. Meyer is the first member of the cabinet to report to the President his estimates for the next fiscal year, and he has effected a saving, as compared with the appropriations for 1909-10, of $10,000,000, without crippling the existing navy or interfering with the building program. Secretary Meyer's estimates provide for the construction of two new battleships of the latest Dreadnaught type and of a repair ship equipped with all the most approved machinery for repair work afloat. They also provide for the recruiting of an additional force of three thousand men and for maintenance of the fleet of sixteen battleships in commission. John Witherspoon, president of Princeton College, and a signer of the Declaration of Indendence, whose statue was unveiled recently in Washington, is the only clergyman who signed the Declaration. He is, also, the only signer, except Benjamin Franklin, to have a statue erected in his honor in any of the numerous squares and circles and open spaces of the national capital. The rumors of extravagance in the authorization of expenditures of public money by the Cuban government has evidently created an unfavorable impression in official circles in Washington and will be deplored by all who wish the new republic every good. A recent bulletin issued by Agricultural Department has it fed out that a single rat can eat cents worth of grain a year and if all the rats in the country fed on grain it would cost more $100,000,000 a year to board them. It has been estimated that a pair of rats and their progeny, ding without interruption and sizing no losses, would in three increase to more than twenty lions. While recommending the consistent use of traps and poisons experts think the most promising of extermination effort lie in rat-construction of buildings, especially the use of concrete in foundation in reducing the food supply of by the disposal of garbage and protection of food supplies.

CUSTOM FRAUDS IN NEW YORK The government investigations into the customs frauds at New York promise some disclosures which may be as astounding as those made in the false weighing of sugar, according to recent dispatches. It is understood that the detective force employed to investigate the conditions in New York has reached the conclusion that there are still frauds to be discovered and that the following abuses will be exposed. Undervaluation of imports, collusion between transportation companies and inspectors, bribery of inspectors by importers and frauds in weighing, besides certain minor offences. Secretary MacVeagh has made it clear that he intends following the investigations to the bottom. "It is not," he is quoted as saying, "because I am more interested in honest administration in New York than elsewhere that I am determined to sift this matter, but because of the disclosures that have been made there and my personal knowledge that certain changes in the methods of doing business should have prompt attention." The fact that the Senate's bill has practically no defender the press of the country is not out significance. Is the Senate in its judgment of public sentiments or are the newspapers through the country all wrong? The annual meeting of the meeting of the Anaheim Cemetery Association will be held at the rooms of American Savings Bank, on 5th Street, on Saturday, the 5th June, 1909, at 2 o'clock p.m., for purpose of electing a Board of Directors for the ensuing year and transaction of any other business may be lawfully brought before meeting.

Estimated that a single CRUELTY TO ANIMALS Heavy Fines Imposed by Santa Ana Justice Warrants were issued on Tuesday morning for Karl Lynch and Herbert Cox, two employes at the oil wells who were charged with having overdriven a livery horse belonging to Charles Linebarger of Fullerton. It is alleged the men hired each a horse and buggy to go to Newport and that on the return one of the horses fell at Santa Ana, near the sugar factory and died on the spot. Lynch and Cox plead guilty and were fined $30 each which they paid. Willie Rodriguez, a sixteen-year-old Mexican boy, was arrested on Monday at Talbert by Deputy Sheriff Sweetzer and taken to Santa Ana to answer to a charge of cruelty to animals, it appearing the crippled horse owned by the lad's father had been driven until the miserable animal could go no farther and then left by the roadside to die. The boy's father lives at Anaheim and on Saturday the boy drove the horse to Talbert and back to Anaheim and was on his return to Anaheim on the second trip when near Garden Grove the horse could go no farther and after vainly endeavoring to get the animal along, the boy took the harness off it and left it where it fell by the roadside. Constable C. E. Jackson was compelled to shoot the animal. Justice Smithwick after ascertaining the lad's age to be seventeen, said it was a case for the juvenile court and the matter was referred to the attention of Judge West. EVANGELIST MEETINGS EVANGELIST MEETINGS Evangelist Robert L. Jones of Jamestown, N. Y., and his gospel singer, Carl Burch, the popular baritone from Boston will begin a series of evangelistic services in the opera house, Sunday night, June 13. Evangelist Jones has been engaged in this line of work for eighteen years and has traveled from Maine to California and from North Dakota to Texas. He comes highly recommended by the pastors with whom he has labored but perhaps the strongest endorsements are from the pastors of his home town, where he has spent most of his life. He has vigorous support in Mr. Burch who is one of the leading gospel singers in the work. He possesses a rich baritone voice and sings the old gospel hymns with feeling and effect. Mr. Burch is also proficient in organizing and leading a chorus choir and it is hoped that a chorus of over a hundred voices may be organized. These meetings will not be conducted in the interest of any one denomination but it is hoped that people of every creed will fall in line with this movement. Now the yellow press advises us Japan will strike the United States "six months before the completion of the Panama canal." In the name of common sense, let's have an end to these saffron yarns. The Geological Survey's bulletin reporting contributions to economic geology in 1908, contains a short paper by Robert Anderson on asphaltite deposits in Eureka county, northeastern Nevada, about 15 miles south of Palisade. This occurrence is interesting, for no asphaltite deposit has heretofore been found in Nevada. The asphaltite fills fractures, in steeply dipping Carboniferous strata.

There is a rule, however, that servants of the various lords may be admitted to speak to their masters. Seeing the minister walking boldly in, the door keeper asked: "What lord do you serve?" "What lord?" repeated the astonished American, "the Lord Jebovah!" For a moment the doorkeeper hesitated and then admitted him. Turning to an assistant standing near, he said: "He must mean one of those poor Scotch lairds." Adolph Thomas and wife returned on Tuesday from Del Monte, where the former attended the session of state bankers. They also visited relatives at Salinas and made trips to points of interest.
