Takekawa, former cashier of the Japanese-American bank of Los Angeles. The judge granted the defendant's motion to set aside the information for felony on the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence taken in the preliminary examination. The point on which Takekawa escaped further prosecution was that the alleged false testimony was not on a material point at issue in the case in which it was given. Last September Takekawa sued W. J. Hole for title to a La Habra ranch. He testified he had offered Hole $8170 as a payment on the ranch. Hole refused it, and Takekawa said he put the money to Hole's credit in the bank. When the bank became insolvent, it was found by the examiners that SHOOTING ACCIDENTAL Laguna Beach Sportsmen are Careless With Rifle A bullet fired from a 32-calibre rifle three-fourths of a mile away passed through the fleshy part of A. H. Partridge's left leg on Sunday as he sat on the porch of the Spurgeon cottage at Laguna Beach. Two other bullets came close by, one of them missing Mrs. Partridge's head by but a few inches. The shooting was done by members of a picnic party from Orange. The men of the party were Thomas T. Colburn, W. B. Eckhart and A. L. Jones. They were firing at a tincan that sat on or against a bank on the shore. Mr. Partridge was sitting in a chair on the porch of the first cottage Mr. Smith is very angry in this matter. His are not questioned, his up-state critic, but his fortunate company. The intention to turn over control of these was put in effect the sequence would be that out any sort of use of public property. BROKE THE LINE Youth Who Dug To Gets Into James Hopkins, a was found guilty of county ordinance shipment of more pounds of cockles NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Anaheim Union Water Company Location of Principal Place of Business, Anaheim, Orange County, California. Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the directors, held on the 5th day of March 1910, an assessment of one dollar per share was levied upon the capital stock of the corporation, payable on or before April 7th 1910, to the Secretary of the corporation. At the office of the corporation, on East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unpaid on the 8th day of April, 1910, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before, will be sold on Thursday, the 28th day of April 1910, to pay delinquent assessment, together with costs of advertising and expenses of sale.

The point on which Takekawa escaped further prosecution was that the alleged false testimony was not on a material point at issue in the case in which it was given. Last September Takekawa sued W. J. Hole for title to a La Habra ranch. He testified he had offered Hole $8170 as a payment on the ranch. Hole refused it, and Takekawa said he put the money to Hole's credit in the bank. When the bank became insolvent, it was found by the examiners that there was no such deposit. In the case on trial the material point was the offer to Hole. Whether or not the deposit was made was not material. Hence in his decision, the judge found that under the state law a case of perjury had not been made out. When it comes to harness, look at ours.

SMITH IN BAD COMPANY SHADOW OF THE RAILROAD LOOMS UP BEHIND HIS BILL Charged With Playing to Galleries In Saying Folks at Home May Be Trusted—No Change in Power Sites from Federal to State Authority—Severely Criticised An up-country newspaper publishes some interesting correspondence on the subject of water powers between Stewart Edward White, the magazine writer now a resident of Santa Barbara, and Representative S. C. Smith of Bakersfield. Mr. Smith, of course, desires that these water power rights now controlled and conserved by the forestry service as part of the national domain should be turned over unreservedly to the states. He puts it this way: To my way of thinking, the point of chiefest importance in this problem is that of having some governmental agency stand by to protect the users of power from the aggressions of the power companies. I am thinking of the small user now—the farmer who pumps water for irrigation, or the manufacturerer whose machinery is run by this subtle agent. Of course, if our states and counties can no longer be trusted to do a plain and simple duty, then I have no case—unless, perchance, the federal authorities are no more worthy. Being an optimist, I have not lost faith in the folks at home." Mr. White in reply intimates that Mr. Smith is "playing to the gallery" with his pathetic expression of faith in "the folks at home." The "Old Homestead" drama with its battered oaken bucket and real cocks AS ONE LADY SAW IT A Petition Held to Be Not An Expression of Public Opinion Editor Gazette.—A committee consisting of five women, sent from the Parents-Teachers' Association, waited upon the school trustees at their regular board meeting on March 3, in order to present a petition signed by the required number of heads of families; this petition requesting that a district meeting be called in order to ascertain whether the citizens of Anaheim were willing to authorize an election for voting bonds for the establishment and maintenance of a suitable playground for the grammar school children. The committee was informed by the board that a petition is not an expression of the people's opinion, for anyone would sign any kind of a petition, that the board considered the playground an unnecessary expense at the present time; that, however, they would discuss this petition at their next regular meeting, and would act upon it if they found that the school law compelled them to do so, and that they would postpone such action as long as the law would allow. Upon being asked by the chairman of the committee whether they would allow the Ebell society to donate luncheon sheds for the primary school, the board stated that they considered the dots of shade provided by the umbrella trees quite sufficient, and inferred that the assistance of any woman's society would be regarded in the light of a meddlesome interference rather than a benevolence. ONE WHO WAS THERE. GRADING FOR CUT-OFF Santa Fe at Work Between Fullerton FATS TRIMMED BY LEANS BASEBALL GAME ON SUNDAY AFFORDS FANS MUCH AMUSEMENT Heat Proves Too Much for the Heavies—Base Rolling and Running a Feature of the Game—Score Keeper Loses Track of Errors Had Old "Hen" Berry of baseball fame been on the local grounds on Sunday, Anaheim would probably be some less in population. He would without doubt have taken under his wings—providing he could have spread them enough—Herman Stock for classy performance in the outfield who never fumbled the ball once after it had stopped rolling; McCarey for all around first base but never on it; and Jimmy Welch, the catcher, for winging every Lean that tried to steal second, after he found out that the center fielder wasn't second base. At 2 o'clock sharp J. Backs as umpire quieted the big clamoring crowd by calling game. The Fats went to the bat and found Bob Rimpau for four hits, netting them five runs, amid much cheering from the bleachers. Highly elated at their success they worked hard, allowing but one Lean man to cross the plate in the first inning. Old Sol was out in all his glory and the Fats suffered much from the heat; to such an extent, in fact, that the side went out in one, two three order in the next inning. The first man to the bat for the Leans was walked, Henry Westerman bringing him in on a home run, on a lost ball, which was under Sullivan's foot all the time he was looking for it. The ha, ha, of the rooters put machinery is run by this subtle agent. Of course, if our states and counties can no longer be trusted to do a plain and simple duty, then I have no case—unless, perchance, the federal authorities are no more worthy. Being an optimist, I have not lost faith in the folks at home." Mr. White in reply intimates that Mr. Smith is "playing to the gallery" with his pathetic expression of faith in "the folks at home." The "Old Homestead" drama with its battered oaken bucket and real cocks and hens is, perhaps, out of place in a discussion of this sort. In this particular relation "the folks at home" are the state legislatures, in which Mr. Smith's faith may be strong enough to move mountains, but is not shared by the rest of us. As Mr. White says: "As a federal control versus state control, outside the monetary considerations, it hardly seems merely a question as to whether 'the folks at home' can be trusted or not. Leaving aside all sentiment and noble ideals, the average state legislature has rarely showed itself either competent or fitted to deal with such matters to the best interests of the public at large. They are not as fully under the public eye as the congress at Washington; they are more apt to be swayed by considerations of immediate expediency at the expense of ultimate welfare; and they offer a continual temptation if not an open opportunity to interests that otherwise might let such matters alone. Furthermore, I believe that the question of control and sale of water power in one state is no more a local question in its final economic effects than is the question of the disposition of coal lands. It affects the welfare of the whole people." Mr. Smith is very much in earnest in this matter. His good intentions are not questioned, according to the up-state critic, but he is found in unfortunate company. If his proposition to turn over to the states the control of these water powers were put in effect the immediate consequence would be their seizure without any sort of compensation for the use of public property. BROKE THE LAW, FINED Youth Who Dug Too Many Cockles Gets Into Trouble James Hopkins, a boy of 18 years, was found guilty of breaking the county ordinance prohibiting the shipment of more than twenty-five pounds of cockles from the county school, the board stated that they considered the dots of shade provided by the umbrella trees quite sufficient, and inferred that the assistance of any woman's society would be regarded in the light of a meddle some interference rather than a benevolence. ONE WHO WAS THERE. GRADING FOR CUT-OFF Santa Fe at Work Between Fullerton and Richfield The contract for grading the Fullerton-Richfield cut-off was awarded this week to the Hauser constructing company of Los Angeles. It is expected by officials of the Santa Fe that trains will be in operation over this track by June 1. Immediate operations are to be begun on the building of the four miles of track that will connect Fullerton and Richfield and cut nine miles from the mileage of the line from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, via Riverside. Division Engineer M. C. Bryan has started a gang of surveyors setting grade stakes and to prepare for the contractors. As soon as the contracting company has completed the grading the Santa Fe will commence the laying of the steel and the construction of the two bridges necessary. These bridges will be one of the heaviest items of the expense. Materials for the building of the line have already been delivered. The cut-off will run almost in a straight line east and west. At Fullerton, after extending several miles in that direction, the present main line swings to the southf to Orange, a distance of seven and a half miles. It then turns northeast and at Richfield, a distance of five and a half miles, again turns directly west. The new main line will run directly east and west for a considerable distance east of Richfield to several miles west of Fullerton. Although probably some of the passenger trains will run via Orange, as at present, the fast trains, with the through freights, will run over the cut-off. Deeds for the right of way for the cut-off were recorded this week. A fifty-foot strip is granted through property belonging to the following: Placentia Orchard Co., L. C. Bettannier, John McKee, A. V. Smith, C. B. Carpenter, W. B. Houston, B. G. Talbott, S. M. Christensen, A. B. Annin, C. H. Smith, Richard Melrose, S. Kraemer, E. E. Balcom, Steiner A loud wall of lamentation comes from Santa Ana to the effect that democrats are registering as republicans, and that the wicked republican machine is to blame. Not to speak of the desirability of having all democrats renounce their party and register as republicans, is not this a job rather of the democratic machine than its political opponents? Are BROKE THE LAW, FINED Youth Who Dug Too Many Cockles Gets Into Trouble James Hopkins, a boy of 18 years, was found guilty of breaking the county ordinance prohibiting the shipment of more than twenty-five pounds of cockles from the county in one day. Justice Smithwick, before whom the boy was tried, fined him $60. This was the third time the lad was before the Santa Ana justice for the offense. The first time there was no fine imposed. The second time he was fined $25. This time, the third, it was $60. It is expected that the boy's stepfather, William Vinsen, chief of the cockle shippers, will pay the fine. Otherwise, the boy will stay in jail sixty days. The boy's only defense was the denial that he had ever admitted owning the cockles found in his possession when he was arrested, March 8, by Deputy Sheriff Divinney. The boy was arrested with William Squires and Harry Coulter, and as Divinney was on his way to jail Hopkins escaped and was not caught again until last Friday. It is believed that there is a regular traffic in cockles, and the lawbreakers were exceedingly clever in avoiding capture. The county ordinance was passed to protect the shellfish, the shippers having depleted the supply greatly. I am well pleased with the Autopiano which I purchased from you about a year ago. Respectfully, Clara M. Fischer. GIVES AWAY MILLIONS Rockefeller's Benefactions Exceed Those of Any Living Man However one may view John D. Rockefeller's methods of amassing his enormous fortune the public must give the "Oil King" credit for being a liberal contributor to worthy causes, second in amount only to the vast sums donated by Andrew Carnegie. Rockefeller's gifts up to the present time amount to $133,354,662, the largest individual gifts were those to the General Education Board, $53,000,000, and to the University of Chicago, over $25,000,000. Universities, medical colleges, churches, missions, educational funds, reformatories, Y.M.C.A.'s, municipal researches, girls' colleges are all recipients of the Rockefeller bounty. His money has also gone to fight the hook-worm disease, to anti-saloon leagues, to earthquake relief funds and a tabular statement of the benefactions to other purposes shows the sum of $10,000,000 under the head of miscellaneous gifts. Not content with the disposition of these millions, Rockefeller will ask the aid of Congress to help dispose of a large part of this wealth for the benefit of mankind. Under existing conditions and laws it is impossible to prevent the accumulation of such enormous fortunes as Rockefeller and Carnegie have amassed, nor can the danger be eliminated that comes from the power with which these accumulations of wealth clothe their owners. It is satisfactory, however, to know that Rockefeller and Carnegie recognize their duty and their privilege to use at least a portion of their money as trustees of the people and not to retain it as individuals who refuse to consider the interests of their less fortunate brothers and fail to use their opportunities to do great good.

HALE Of Placentia FAKING EYE-GLASS PEDDLERS They Must Leave California, or Will Be Subject to Arrest "Faking peddlers of eye glasses must leave California," Such is the warning given out by President Fred Detmers of the California State Board of Examiners in Optometry, and as a result of which detectives of the state board of optometry are now visiting every town in California warning the public against patronizing the traveling peddlers of eye-glasses, who go from house to house and claiming to be opticians, and who will fit your eyes to a pair of glasses that you can be enabled to see through almost even death. Probably the most thoroughly organized detective force that was ever gathered together is now employed by the optometry board, and working under the direct supervision of Chief Inspector Nick B. Harris, who has conducted such a vigorous campaign against this class of fakirs, that in the northern part of the state they find the grafting game most unprofitable. Detective Earl R. Wilson is now in this city and when seen last night by a representative of the Gazette, stated that owing to the many reports that have been received of late at the headquarters of the state board, complaining of the travelers and their faking methods, the members of the optometry board, consisting of President Fred Detmers of Los Angeles, F. E. Chinn, secretary of Sacramento, and F. W. Laufer of Oakland, have given orders to spare neither time nor expense to rid California of this class of grafting. It is also their intention to warn the public through the local press to not deal with these people and to patronize the local optometrists or physicians, who if any mistake should be made, they will be only too glad to make it good.
