A WOMAN WITH A GUN
Threatens to Perforate Johnny Morrison's Torso
On the plaza in Orange on Sunday afternoon Mrs. W. H. Clayton threatened to use a six-shooter upon J. W. Morrison. The occurrence grew out of a controversy that has been occupying much attention in that town for some time, Mrs. Clayton leading a fight against the city trustees and their procedure to get sewers laid.
The city has an outfall sewer built but the inside mains have not been laid. The trustees have undertaken a new method of getting the work done. They invited each property owner to put up $15 a lot with a local bank. When all the property owners had all made their deposits, the trustees would then let the contract for laying the sewer pipe to the lowest bidder.
Mrs. Clayton took up the fight against the method, declaring that there is no law for it and that the proper procedure should be by bonds. She has declared that she has been unable to get a hearing in the local papers, and she is reported to have threatened W. O. Hart, editor of the Orange Daily News, with a horsewhipping for a write-up of one of the trustees' meetings. Not having access to the papers to carry on her fight, she had a four-page pamphlet printed and distributed. This pamphlet not only set forth her arguments, but also gave a large portion of the city officials the "dressing-down" of their lives.
J. W. Morrison, proprietor of the meat market, conceived the idea of raising sufficient money by subscription to lay the sewer in front of Mrs. Clayton's property. She went to Morrison at the plaza and told regulators are being installed not only in districts but at houses; so that the pressure may be uniform, and the service bettered. In this the users will be benefited greatly.
F. H. Bevins is now superintendent of the county lines, taking the place in Santa Ana of R. H. Brown, who was with the Edison company as foreman for five years.
When Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton are connected with the Santa Ana plant the gas service in those cities will be greatly bettered. The local plants have not been satisfactory. In those cities the necessary improvements to secure uniform pressure will be made.
HIGHSCHOOL BOYS HISS
Uproar at Santa Ana Commencement Exercises
Commencement exercises were held on Friday evening for the class graduating from the Santa Ana high school, but one member of the class, Robert W. Binckley, did not get his diploma. It was withheld by the board of education on the ground that Binckley was the day before convicted and fined $10 for disturbing the peace, and the school board wants time to investigate that matter.
The commencement exercises ended in rather an unusual manner. Trouble began before the exercises, when the graduates demanded that the school board give Binckley his diploma. They said they would not attend their own commencement if the board did not promise to give the young man his diploma. The board replied that if the class did not come right along and get their diplomas according to programme they would never get them. The class came. The programme was carried out and thirty-six diplomas were handed out, but Binckley's was held.

SANTA ANA
A thousand school children took part in the largest graduation exercises of graded school children ever witnessed in Santa Ana Thursday last four thousand people gathered under the big assembly tent at Second and Main streets to attend the exercises, which is probably the largest crowd of its kind ever assembled in Santa Ana under one roof. One hundred and forty-eight pupils received diplomas from the various graded schools of the city, which is thirty more than ever before graduated at one time from the eighth grades of the city. The entire evening was a record breaker and an "eye opener" to the parents of the pupils who received diplomas that evening.
The program which marked the last of the year's work was mainly a musical festival and the youthful participants displayed musical expression and technique in the production of the various musical numbers. There were thirty numbers on the program, which included not only a number of songs by the one thousand children en masse, but individual performances, which merited considerable praise.
Drills, a cornet solo by Julian Mathews, a piano solo by Miss Isabel Anderson and a duet by Misses Margaret Robinson and Arvilla Hall were each considered extremely good. Miss Elizabeth A. Willard, director of the music in the grades, was the coach and director of the program and exercises. Diplomas were presented by the four school principals, B. F. Beswick, Jefferson; J. J. Zielian, Roosevelt; W. C. Roberts, Lincoln, and R. C. McDonald, McKinley.

the graduates demanded that the school board give Binckley his diploma. They said they would not attend their own commencement if the board did not promise to give the young man his diploma. The board replied that if the class did not come right along and get their diplomas according to programme they would never get them. The class came. The programme was carried out and thirty-six diplomas were handed out, but Binckley's was held.
Shortly before closing Loren Mead arose to lead his class song. Turning to the audience he said: "The class believes that a great injustice has been done Binckley, and we regret that the school board took that action."
W. L. Duggan then stated that the school board was withholding the diploma to give it time to investigate, that it feels that a high school diploma should be as good as a certificate of character.
"I wish to say that this school board is going to run this high school, and the children are not going to run it," said Duggan.
Some of Duggan's remarks were hissed by some of the audience and some met applause, showing the division of feeling.
As Rev. Wright was about to pronounce the benediction, a group of boys broke forth in yells for Binckley, and Rev. Wright had toow alt till the yelling was over before he could proceed.
Binckley and four other boys were arrested for disturbing a party given eighth-graders by Mrs. W. J. Lindsey at the residence of N. A. Ulm. Binckley and Howard Timmons were fined $10 apiece by Justice Cox. Three other boys are to have a hearing in the Juvenile Court next Friday. The boys are alleged to have attempted to secure a hand-out of refreshments, and to have threatened Lindsey when he tried to make them leave the premises. The action of the school board is taken as a declaration that it will use drastic measures to prevent disorders by high school boys.

GAS PIPE LINE COMING
Force of Men at Work Between this City and Orange
Gas was run the first of the week from the Santa Ana gas plant of the Southern Counties Gas Company to Orange, and the gas plant at Orange will be shut down. By the first of the month the main line from Santa Ana to Anaheim will be finished and the gas plant in this city, which furnishes gas for this town and Fullerton, will be closed.
With the completion of the line to Orange, the first section of the project of the Southern Counties Gas Company, which a few weeks ago purchased the Edison Company's gas plant and gas business in Santa Ana, and the plants and businesses furnishing Orange, Anaheim, and Fullerton, will be completed.
The gas company at the present time has about 150 men employed upon construction and reconstruction work. The line into Orange is practically completed, and will be entirely completed tomorrow. A gang of men is at work on the line to this city, and is laying about 2000 feet of line per day.
The company is doing a large amount of work at the plant at Santa Ana and on all its lines and at houses to better the service, the end in view being to establish a uniform pressure all over the system.

On his return from his annual vacation Will S. Scheifele, for five years stenographer and assistant bookkeeper in the sugar factory office, is expected to bring with him, as a bride, Miss Lillian Bradford, who has been stenographer in the same office for upwards of two years. This culminates a courtship little suspected by the officials until the engagement was announced, though most natural under the circumstances.
Frank J. Sullivan, superintendent of the Spreckels sugar factory at Salinas, was a recent visitor here. He will soon go east to take the general superintendency for a chain of factories operated by the Great Western Sugar Company of Colorado.

GUARDING AGAINST PESTS
Rigid Quarantine in Operation Against Hawaiian Products
The most rigid quarantine regulation ever put into effect between California and the Hawaiian islands will soon be in force, in the nature of cooperative measures between steamship companies and the California State Horticultural Commission. This order will mean that every passenger shipping from the islands for California must agree to have his baggage—including personal luggage—inspected by officials of the State commission upon arrival in San Francisco. This order is deemed necessary for protection against the introduction of the Mediterranean fruit fly, one of the most dangerous pests to the fruit industry known.
State Horticultural Commissioner Jeffrey has arranged for co-operation with the steamship companies, so that each ticket sold from the islands will contain a signed agreement by the passenger to allow the horticultural authorities of this state to go through his baggage.
As announced several days ago the Mediterranean fruit fly has secured a hold in the islands and it is impossible to get rid of it. It makes attacks on all kinds of vegetation, including citrus and deciduous fruits and vegetables. It is especially destructive to stone fruits and warnings have been sent to this state from Honolulu, New Zealand and Australia to the effect that if the fly once gets into California it will mean the ultimate destruction of all stone fruits.
A special space will be partitioned off on the docks at San Francisco where baggage will be examined upon arrival. All kinds of fruits and plants will be examined for the fly or its

GROWTH OF DIOCESE
Bishop Conaty Celebrates Eighth Anniversary of Work in Southern California
Right Reverend Thomas James Conaty on Sunday celebrated the eighth anniversary of his arrival in Los Angeles and Monterey diocese. He confirmed a large class at St. Joseph's church in the morning and preached at St. Vibania's cathedral. Of the growth of the diocese of which this much revered Catholic bishop has charge, Bishop Conaty said:
"In 1903 there were six parishes in the city of Los Angeles. Now there are 24. There were 25 priests here then. Now there are 62. At that time Los Angeles had four parochial schools in comparison with the fifteen now in existence here.
"The Catholic population of Los Angeles in 1903 was 25,000. Today it is 60,000 in Los Angeles, and 100,000 in the diocese. In 1903 there were 101 priests in the diocese, today there are 209.
"During the last eight years there have been 47 parishes created in the diocese and 68 churches and chapels built."

A special space will be partitioned off on the docks at San Francisco where baggage will be examined upon arrival. All kinds of fruits and plants will be examined for the fly or its larvae and if any are found they will be destroyed.
Only passengers from the Hawaiian Islands are subject to the order. Those from the orient and foreign ports are subject to the United States quarantine regulations and in that way the State horticultural commission has access to the baggage in their search for fruit and vine pests. In case any passenger refuses to have his baggage examined the commission will resort to the old method of securing a search warrant.

MEETING OF TEACHERS
San Francisco Will Be Scene of Notable Gathering
The greatest educational body in America—in the world—is to convene in San Francisco July 8-14. The National Education Association is a meeting of the American people. At least fifty thousand teacher delegates from all parts of the United States and Canada will flock to the Golden Gate City. The members go up, not from marble halls and tradition-hallowed campus, but from the little red school houses standing on the highways and byways of all this land from the Maine woods to the deserts of Arizona. It is the organized voice of the great teaching force of America. Five hundred thousand teachers in the United States look toward this meeting as the Mecca for their annual pilgrimage, or the source whence shall issue the latest and most pronounced advancements concerning educational matters.
San Francisco is throwing wide its doors to welcome in a truly western spirit of hospitality this army of educators. The citizens propose making this the greatest convention, both in point of attendance, reception and entertainment, and in impressive ceremony, in the history of the association. The latch string is out to the teacher in the little red schoolhouse. The citizens have extended a spontaneous welcome to all the educators throughout the country.
Claude White, aged 23, was arrested in Corona on Saturday night, and was taken to Santa Ana and is in the county jail on a charge of horse stealing. A horse and buggy belonging to Charles Linebarger was stolen in this city earlier in the day. White offered the rig for sale at Corona and was arrested. The horse was driven so hard that it could not be taken home. White is the son of Nina B. Croft of Santa Ana, wife of PolicemanBernard C. Croft of Los Angeles. Recently Mrs. Croft sued Croft for $50 a month maintenance. She was arrested for living illegally with William Breeding and is now out on bail awaiting trial in the Superior Court. Croft is suing her for divorce.
