THURSDAY, April 4 RIGHT ON THE JOB FROM THE JUMP CITY ATTORNEY AMES PROVES HIS FITNESS FOR POSITION Was in Charge of Sewer Bond Issue, Which Would Have Been Picked to Pieces by Opponents of System If Error Could Be Found—Guided City's Legal Craft Straight Ahead, And is Winning Out—Should Ee in Control of Outfall Negotiations A city official conspicuous for ability in maintaining the rights of taxpayers is City Attorney Homer G. Ames, who has filled the position for two years past, and is entitled to recognition at the hands of the incoming board of trustees. An important work carried on by Mr. Ames the past year was preparation of the $90,000 bond levy for city sewers, together with writing all the large contracts incident thereto. While other cities of Orange county have been subjected to loss of time and money, not to speak of vexatious worry and added expense, on account of faulty proceedings in voting bond issues, Anaheim has no such charges to confront, for Mr. Ames' work has been rigidly correct from start to finish. It is a noteworthy fact that in all the years in which this city has been voting money for public betterments, not a single mishap has attended the proceedings, bond purchasers in every instance complimenting the city. DYNAMITE AT SANTA ANA Officers Find Half a Ton in Possession of A. E. Hawley A. E. Hawley of Santa Ana and his business of selling dynamite received a severe official jolt on Friday, with the result that hereafter the dynamite sales must be handled in a different way and the dynamite must be kept secure, not open to easy theft. The matter was brought to a head when Chief of Police Keno Wilson of San Diego got word from his office that a memorandum was found in a book taken from the pocket of Jack White to the effect that there was 1200 pounds of dynamite in possession of A. E. Hawley of Santa Ana. This was a startling discovery. The I.W.W. was under investigation and the officers were satisfied that some I.W.W. members would resort to the use of dynamite to gain their points. Threats had been communicated to Chief Wilson to the effect that they would get him. Jack White was one of the leaders. He was the man who went to Santa Ana from San Diego and stirred up a campaign among the socialists, seeking sympathy for the twenty-four I.W.W. men in the county jail, held as prisoners for San Diego. He had a memorandum to effect that Hawley keeps dynamite. The dynamite situation was looked into by Sheriff Ruddock. It was learned that Hawley kept the explosive at his residence in a careless manner. To the officers it seemed THREE YEARS What the President ed in it In the house of Washington receive Browning of New York the following special Years of Taft: "Arbitration treaties Britain and France have been negotiated before the senate meetings with other countries."

Anaheim has no such charges to confront, for Mr. Ames' work has been rigidly correct from start to finish. It is a noteworthy fact that in all the years in which this city has been voting money for public betterments, not a single mishap has attended the proceedings, bond purchasers in every instance complimenting the city attorney for accuracy in his work. This is true of Mr. Ames in reference to the sewer bond issue, as well as the large contracts following there upon. Other towns in this county have been brought to a halt in contemplated improvements of great magnitude, notably Santa Ana in its $225,000 school bonds, because of error in proceedings, but not so this city. Mr. Ames goes straight ahead, is careful of his ground and has proved himself a winner. He has been the city's legal adviser in the sewer controversy with our friends at Stanton, and while that work has been arduous at times, he having met the most capable Los Angeles attorneys in debate, he has carried the work to a point where it nears successful completion, and the sewer system will ere long be in operation. The inside sewer system is practically completed. Now comes the outfall, which work will be under way in a few days. Whether or not the city is to have further friction with West-siders is not at this time certain, but the fact remains that if legal entanglements should ensue, Mr. Ames is the best fitted man in town to protect interests of the municipality should they arise. He has guided the city successfully in this great civic undertaking, which has consumed more than a year, and the work of sewer construction has gone steadily ahead, without hindrance and without interruption. The city has not lost a cent by improper proceedings, or faulty contract, and there has been no delay. Since the work began, he has carried it straight ahead, guided only by his conscience and a devotion to duty which has won him high praise throughout the community. When Mr. Gilbert balked at accepting second payment on his ranch at Stanton, after having accepted first payment, it was Mr. Ames who suggested immediate tender to him of the entire amount of $22,000 in gold coin. This the city had a perfect right to do. This it did. This stopped interest payments. The man who went to Santa Ana from San Diego and stirred up a campaign among the socialists, seeking for sympathy for the twenty-four I.W. W. men in the county jail, held as prisoners for San Diego. He had a memorandum to effect that Hawley keeps dynamite. The dynamite situation was looked into by Sheriff Ruddock. It was learned that Hawley kept the explosive at his residence in a careless manner. To the officers it seemed an easy matter for any person who desired to do so to steal dynamite from Hawley's supply. Moreover, the sales were not under any kind of control by officers of the law. Hawley had 1100 pounds on hand and said he had a ton of it on the way. There are state and federal laws against keeping dynamite in quantities of over fifty pounds in a place inside the limits of the city. Hawley declared his willingness to do anything required of him. He states that hereafter he will make no sale of dynamite without the application has the O.K. of an officer.

balked at accepting second payment on his ranch at Stanton, after having accepted first payment, it was Mr. Ames who suggested immediate tender to him of the entire amount of $22,000 in gold coin. This the city had a perfect right to do. This it did. This stopped interest payments. The money was taken to Compton and tendered Gilbert. He asked for a few days' time to consider, but presently accepted the money and executed a deed. The city came into possession of the property. This clear-cut and decisive action has characterized his work throughout his incumbency of the office. He should by all means be retained. The outfall is not yet completed. Should squalls arise, he is the man who should be at the helm. Mr. Ames is an able lawyer, and his work in the sewer fight stamps him with honor and credit to himself and municipality. He has mapped his course straight ahead, turning neither to right nor left, and he has carried the work of sewer construction successfully along with him. Such an official is indispensable to the welfare of the city. With a bitter fight against the outfall, does any man for a moment believe that the bond proceedings were scrutinized for errors by opponents, of the system? And if such were found, does any one suppose the proceedings would have been stopped, or an effort made to do so? None such were discovered, although they were probably looked for with a fine tooth comb. A single error in Mr. Ames' work would have tied the city up. That such unfortunate result was not brought out is due to the fact that the city had a legal adviser who knew his business and was right on the job from the start. He is a good man to keep where he is. Thus far governors of six states have been in San Francisco and have selected sites for state buildings to be erected at the site for the exposition... Governor Oswald West, Oregon's chief executive was first to select a site and on the same afternoon Governor Oddie of Nevada located a splendid site for Nevada's building. On the 22d inst. Governors Norris of Montana, Hay of Washington, Hawley of Idaho and Spry of Utah selected sites for their state buildings. Governor Vessey of South Dakota was here on the 28th inst., and located a site. The brass plate that was attached to the Oregon fir, that was brought from the northern state on the occasion of the selection of a site for the exposition by the Oregon delegation, was stolen a few days ago by a souvenir hunter. Fortunately, the tree was a tall one, otherwise the souvenir hunter might have taken it. The tree is located on the Presidio reservation and it is hoped that the Oregonians will shortly furnish the exposition with a new plate that can be riveted to the tree. The committee on buildings and grounds has awarded a contract to the San Francisco bridge company to fill in property on the site which will require one million cubic yards of material and at a cost of more than $200,000. An expert in the office of the director of works prepared data showing that if the fill were put on a lot occupied by the Claus Spreckels building it would stand a mile high or fifteen times the height of the building, which is 315 feet. If the fill were placed in Market St., between 3d and 4th streets in San Francisco, it would occupy a space as high as the Claus Spreckels building. These figures were based on a minimum scale of one million cubic yards. Dredges will take up the silt from the bottom of the bay, in the vicinity of the site and pump it into the open space and the water allowed to drain off.

THREE YEARS OF TAFT What the President Has Accomplished in First Term In the house of representatives at Washington recently Hon. Wm. J. Browning of New Jersey delivered the following speech, entitled Three Years of Taft: "Arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, aimed at war, have been negotiated and are now before the senate. Similar negotiations with other powers are pending. Great trusts have been made to feel that the statutes carry penalties for them as well as for the small trusts and for the individual violator of the law. An era of calm enforcement of existing law has been inaugurated. The sugar corporation was convicted, proceedings brought against the steel corporation, and the coal, whisky, lumber and beef corporations brought to court. More than two score prosecutions are pending. The Standard oil and tobacco cases have been completed and an interpretation of the Sherman law, many years in doubt, obtained. When a democratic house threatened to involve the United States with Russia in a too hasty annulment of the passport treaty, President Taft assumed the weight of responsibility and declared in diplomatic form that the treaty would be abrogated upon the notice of one year which it required. Scientific tariff revision has been put in place of political giving and taking in such legislation. A tariff board has been created and its investigations have brought a recom- complishment of conservation policies and obtained a bond issue for irrigation projects; obtained legislation further extending the power of the interstate commerce commission and creating a court of commerce to review the commission's findings; recommended a federal incorporation act; and induced China to open to American finance on equal terms with the rest of the world. Peace in Cuba has been maintained by a word of friendly warning. The railroads of the country were prevented, by an appeal to the wrl of injunction, from putting rate increases into effect. TWO CALIFORNIA NEIGHBORS Superintendent Hyatt Issues Interesting Pamphlet Under the title "Two California Neighbors," a pamphlet on John Muir author and naturalist, and John Swett, schoolmaster and author, has just been issued by Superintendent Edward Hyatt and is now being sent to school people in the state. The book is intended to be a recreation for English classes, and is designed to help foster among California school people and children an appreciation and love for some of our California authors. Sketches of both men are presented, with extracts from their writings. Of its purpose the book says: "It is well to remember that the real object of literature is to give pleasure—to give pleasure by stirring or emotions. Unless we find out how to get pleasure out of reading out." HE WAS HELPING A Baltimore man, whose son is a student at Princeton, has had frequent occasion to remonstrate with his boy touching his extravagance; but the father invariably "comes to the front" when request is made for further funds. In his last letter to his son the fa- When a democratic house threatened to involve the United States with Russia in a too hasty annulment of the passport treaty, President Taft assumed the weight of responsibility and declared in diplomatic form that the treaty would be abrogated upon the notice of one year which it required. "Scientific tariff revision has been put in place of political giving and taking in such legislation. A tariff board has been created and its investigations have brought a recommendation from the president for a revision and reduction of the woolen schedule. Other schedules are under scrutiny, preparatory to further recommendations if they be found to conflict with republican platform principles, and his policy looking to future revision on a scientific schedule-by-schedule revision has become effective. The tariff bill regarded by President Taft as a step in the right direction, even though not a perfect measure, has turned a $58,-000,000 deficit into a $30,000,000 surplus. Wool, cotton, and so-called farmers' free-list bills, originating in a democratic house, have been vetoed because they violated the principle of the republican platform that revision of the tariff should be based upon the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad—a difference upon which information at that time was lacking. "The Panama canal has been brought to a stage approaching completion and the date of opening advanced by several months through systematic work. "The Arizona statehood bill was once vetoed because it provided for the recall of judges. New Mexico and Arizona have now been admitted as states. "The post office department has been placed upon a self-sustaining basis. "A difficult situation resulting from the revolution in Mexico, arousing a deep feeling in the southern portions of the United States, was handled with diplomacy and tact, and the United States aided in the establishment of law and order in the neighboring republic through preserving it in our own. "The treasury agents and customs employees have been reorganized, fraud has been weeded out of the customs service, and many thousands of dollars lost under fraudulent importations have been recovered. "A bureau of mines has been created. Steps have been taken toward a new employers' liability and workmen's compensation act and the adoption of additional safety appliance state. The book is intended to be a recreation for English classes, and is designed to help foster among California school people and children an appreciation and love for some of our California authors. Sketches of both men are presented with extracts from their writings. Of its purpose the book says: "It is well to remember that the real object of literature is to give pleasure—to give pleasure by stirring or emotions. Unless we find out how to get pleasure out of reading outside of school and class room, unless we learn to turn to books gladly as friends when the teacher is gone, then our work has been to little purpose. It is well to postpone the niceties of belles lettres, the fine spun literary criticism of college and university until our boys and girls can read—read and grasp and enjoy." This pamphlet is the second in a series, the first of which, "A Calaveras Evening," dealing with Mark Twain and Bret Harte, appeared some time ago. Of particular interest just now, when everybody connected with the public schools of California is devoting a good deal of attention to the working of the new attendance law, is an authoritative opinion of the attorney general upon this subject. After a general discussion of the law dealing with the subject, the opinion summarizes its practical working as follows: "Pupils present for at least one-fourth of a day, but not one-half a day, shall be counted as present for one-fourth of a day; pupils present for at least one-half of a day and more, but not three-fourths of a day, shall be counted as present for one-half of a day; pupils present for at least three-fourths of a day and more, but not for a whole day, shall be counted as present for three-fourths of a day; and pupils present for a whole day shall be so counted. "It would seem to be the intention of the legislature by inserting this provision in the law at its last regular session, it not having existed before, to secure a reasonably strict accounting of school attendance."
