Page Eight THE STATE HIGHWAY Comes Our Way—Good Selection—Others Disappointed—Ocean Boulevard Meeting Tame One—Further Agitation Dangerous. By A. A. MILLS After keeping us on the anxious seat so long the state highway commission has ordered the work of surveying for the highway from one end of the county to the other or rather from the extreme southeast corner running diagonally through the whole length of the county to the northwest corner. Well Done That the location is a good one and will give universal satisfaction goes without saying. The greatest good to the greatest number has been satisfied, as about 90 per cent of the population and 85 per cent of the assessed valuation will be found within five miles of the highway. It is good. Disappointed The Norwalk and Downey people were put out that the selection did not come their way. So they sent a telegram to the state highway commission and in reply were told that the location was not absolute, as only the survey had been ordered.

So they sent a telegram to the state highway commission and in reply were told that the location was not absolute, as only the survey had been ordered. They were down to talk it over last Friday. On being shown that in both Los Angeles and Orange counties the road follows the centers of population and the greater assessed valuation, they returned home wise but sadder men. Tame One The Ocean Boulevard association held a very tame meeting again at Long Beach on Saturday evening. All pledged a hearty support to the movement to be made to see that the highway provided along the coast shall follow that line and touch as many coast cities as is practicable between Santa Barbara and San Diego. Unwise Any further agitation of different routes in Orange county would be exceedingly unwise and might result disastrously to us. Any such agitation cannot be too strongly condemned. OBSERVE MOTHER'S DAY, SUDAY, MAY 12 Mother's Day broke out sporadically all over the United States in 1908. No one knew where the idea originated. That year the Florist Review, the florists' trade paper, undertook to trace the origin and find what it was all about. This proved no easy task. The Federation of Woman's clubs when appealed to disclaimed responsibility, but said, "It's a fine idea." Officials of the Congress of Mothers replied, "We have no record of Mother's day, but the idea is good." Finally the search for the founder of the day led, through the city editor of a Chicago daily, to Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who confessed to having conceived the idea in the desire to commemorate the anniversary of her mother's death. It was not only the thought of laying some flowers on mother's grave, but it occurred to her that it would be a beautiful tribute to all mothers the BIGGS HELD WHOUT BAIL Eastside Murderer Has Preliminary Examination Eastside Murderer Has Preliminary Examination George Biggs was given two preliminary examinations in Judge Cox's court at Santa Ana on Monday, one on a charge of murdering Francis A. Montee east of Anaheim on April 12, and the other for murdering Mrs. Montee at the same place and time. Biggs, his beard grown out, appeared with his attorney, Clyde Bishop. In conversation with his attorney he seemed to admit the truth of most of the testimony put in by Deputy District Attorney Koepsel. In the courtroom were brothers and sisters and other relatives of the murdered man and woman, and at times the recital of incidents having to do with the murder brought tears into their eyes. Witnesses examined were Robert Lehman, the boy who was on the wagon when Biggs shot Montee, but who ran away before Biggs beat the fallen man on the head; Dr. H. A. Johnston, who testified as to the injuries inflicted; A. K. Petitt, who worked for Biggs, and who first saw the bodies after Biggs left them; Phillip Germann, deputy city marshal of this city, who with Marshal Kellenberger arrested Biggs, and Under Sheriff Squires, who said Biggs told him that he killed Montee and Mrs. Montee with the shovel. Deputy Koepsel is convinced that instead of the shovel, Biggs used the axe. The head of the axe fitted into the wound in Montee's forehead, and the edge of the ax fitted the wound in the back of Mrs. Montee's head. No evidence not brought out at the coroner's inquest was introduced Biggs was held to answer without bonds. REVERSED DECISION Appellate Court Hands Down Decision in Local Case The appellate court has reversed a Officials of the Congress of Mothers replied, "We have no record of Mother's day, but the idea is good." Finally the search for the founder of the day led, through the city editor of a Chicago daily, to Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who confessed to having conceived the idea in the desire to commemorate the anniversary of her mother's death. It was not only the thought of laying some flowers on mother's grave, but it occurred to her that it would be a beautiful tribute to all mothers, the living as well as the dead, if their children on a given day, would unite in the simple wearing of white flowers. She wrote a letter about it to a Philadelphia newspaper early in 1908, and it was this that caused Mother's Day to break out in enthusiastic spots all over the country. The beautiful sentiment appealed too strongly for the white flowers, and necessity has developed this phrase: "A white flower for mother's memory, A bright flower for mothers living." This year Sunday schools, societies and individuals all over the country are planning to observe Mother's Day in honor of the very best mother that ever lived—your own. It is a wonderful thing—a mother. Other folks can love you. But only your mother understands. She works for you. Looks after you. Loves you. Forgives you anything you may do. Understands you, and then the only thing bad she ever does to you, is to die and leave you. Mother's Day is always the second Sunday in May—on May 12 this year.

REVERSED DECISION Appellate Court Hands Down Decision in Local Case The appellate court has reversed a judgment of $827 entered in the superior court in favor of Helen May Rich as executrix of the will of Dr. C. L. Rich, against the Southern California Edison company. Judgment was on two counts, one for $397 for the Fullerton hospital and the other for $530 for Dr. Rich. Suit was for services following the injury of E. H. Laplier by shock and burning from wires of the Edison company. The remittitur states that the evidence showed that the bill of the hospital was proven as a liability of the company. It is stated that the liability of the company for the surgery upon Laplier was not proven, that Dr. Rich was not duly authorized to act for the company, that therefore his services were voluntary, and that the court believes the verdict was in excess of a proper verdict. The opinion of the appellate judges was that the fact that the Edison company paid Laplier $4500 in settlement of the suit brought by him for damages for his injuries was not confession of liability. A new trial in the superior court is ordered. You can't afford to be without Conkey's Whote Diarrhoea Remedy. It is a positive relief from this disease which kills thousands of the chicks yearly.

Mr. TEACHERS AND TEXT BOOKS County Educators Meet and Discuss Proposed New Law An initiative amendment proposed COUNTY BOUNDARY LINE Moving Mountain Causes Uncertainty Concerning It If there's a way found to stake down a crawling hill the boundary dispute between Riverside and San Bernardino counties will be settled permanently. In the old Spanish grant, a monument marking a corner was located on a hill near Chino. Years gradually ate the monument away. In 1878 Engineer Finkle relocated the corner, but later years again devoured it. Gradually the hill on which the monument was located crawled away. Since then it has moved over 900 feet. Riverside insists that the corner should follow the hill on its meanderings. This would now lose San Bernardino eight acres, valued at $4000. The general route of the hill is toward Chino, therefore in a little matter of 100 years the Chino sugar factory and a rich farming section would be in Riverside county. County Surveyor Bright of San Bernardino contests the right of the hill to always remain a corner of the original grant, and proposes to call in the attorney general and surveyor general to settle the dispute. PRAYED FOR THE HOME BOYS TO WIN Ed Zeus Sees Local Lads at Berkeley Meet Berkeley, April 12, 1912. Editor Gazette.—"Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home." Yesterday at the "Big C" interscholastic meet, I sat in the bleachers, right down at the finishing tape and prayed for my home-town boys (Beebe and Baker) to fight hard; and this, all honors to them, they did. Qualifying in the strenuous elimination system alone speaks volumes, and to win a place is a big, big honor. In support of the foregoing song of praise it must be remembered that this was the largest interscholastic high school track meet ever held on the Pacific coast, representing the pick of young athletes from three states, Oregon, Washington and California. Fifty-six preparatory schools comprising over three hundred entrants by closing up to within a few yards from the leading pair." In reality it can be said that Anaheim was represented in the great meet by three loyal supporters. Mr. Culp, trainer of the boys, was in the race heart and soul every minute of the time. Another year of "Culp's Training Compound" should put Anaheim on the interscholastic map for keeps, by the time the next meet rolls around. All honor to the A.U.H.S. Ed. Zeus. P.

INLAND ROUTE APPROVED State Highway Follows Course of Camino Real Little did the orators at the meeting dream that the state highway commission, in session at Sacramento, had already adopted the inland route through Orange county. This news reached this city on Thursday morning. The route adopted follows the course of El Camino Real, from the county line at the San Diego boundary, through San Juan Capistrano, past the historic mission church, and on through the San Joaquin ranch, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fulerton, and La Habra to a junction with the Los Angeles line at La Habra. The coast boulevardiers will have to wait, but that they will be fairly dealt with by Orange county later on is an assured fact. There was never any doubt in minds of well-informed road boosters that the route designated would be finally approved by the state highway commission. Judge Richard Egan of San Juan, member of the Orange county highway commission, who is probably nearer to the state commission than any man in Southern California, was satisfied that such would be the action of the state board. TEACHERS AND TEXT BOOKS County Educators Meet and Discuss Proposed New Law An initiative amendment proposed by the Council of Education of the State Teachers' Association was endorsed by principals of the grammar schools of Orange county at a meeting held at the office of Superintendent of School Mitchell at Santa Ana. The Shanahan amendment passed by the last legislature and to be voted on at the November election does not meet entirely with the approval of teachers. It proposes free text books to be printed at the state office. The council's amendment proposes free text books to be purchased in the open market, with each city and county privileged to select its own text books. It also proposes that the governor shall appoint a state board of education, which shall have the power to appoint the state superintendent of instruction. There were about twenty-five educators at the meeting and a committee was appointed to circulate initiative petitions in the county. They will be ready about May 1 and the campaign for signatures will last until May 20th, when the petitions will be forwarded to Supt. Keppel at Los Angeles, who is chairman of the council. Following is the committee: R. P. Mitchell, J. A. Cranston, C. W. Roberts, W. A. Bartlett, B. F. Beswick, Mrs. Lillian Whitney, J. J. Zeillian, Santa Ana; J. F. Walker, J. L. Van Derveer, Anaheim; C.

Qualifying in the strenuous elimination system alone speaks volumes, and to win a place is a big, big honor. In support of the foregoing song of praise it must be remembered that this was the largest interscholastic high school track meet ever held on the Pacific coast, representing the pick of young athletes from three states, Oregon, Washington and California. Fifty-six preparatory schools comprising over three hundred entries competed. Both Beebe and Baker qualified in the preliminaries with comparative ease, the former in the mile and the half mile, and Baker in the 440 yard run. In the finals in the mile Beebe ran a pretty race, and only in the back stretch was crowded out of third place. This race was won in 4.31, which constitutes a new interscholastic record. Beebe ran the trying race handicapped by an extremely sore foot, caused by new running shoes. The next event in which Anaheim entered was the 440 yard run. In the preliminaries there were sixty entries. In the final Baker ran fourth which is a splendid showing considering the fast time of 0.51 3-5. Next on the list in which Anaheim figured was the exceptionally fast half mile which was slipped off in record time of 2.02. The fight Beebe put forth in this event has won him a cozy corner in the esteem of the athletic constituency at the University of California. In fact he was the only third-place man of the entire meet who received more mention than a mere "third" in the write-up by the athletic editor of the Daily Californian, which reads: "Beebe of Anaheim proved a gritty finisher fairly dealt with by Orange county later on is an assured fact. There was never any doubt in minds of well-informed road boosters that the route designated would be finally approved by the state highway commission. Judge Richard Egan of San Juan, member of the Orange county highway commission, who is probably nearer to the state commission than any man in Southern California, was satisfied that such would be the action of the state board. Surveys will begin immediately, and within a few months actual work will probably begin upon the highway. That the action of the state commission finds favor all along the line goes without saying. Anaheim and the other towns along the route are upon the map. NO CHANGE OF VENUE Sarco Salz, Accused Murderer, Will Be Tried Here Judge West on Monday denied the application of Attorneys Weisel & Dutton for a change of venue in the case against Sarco Salz, accused of murder. The attorneys introduced affidavits intended to show that Saiz could not get a fair trial here. Saiz himself also swore to a similar affidavit, adding that it was common rumor on the streets that a jury would not send him to the gallows ought itself to be hanged. District Attorney West introduced affidavits disputing this state of affairs. No trouble to give Conkey's Roup Remedy. Just a pinch in drinking-water. The fowls take their own medicine.

Chairman Stewart was having his hands full at this point sitting down on obstemperous orators who persisted in talking out of order and offering amendments to the amendment. It was evident to all that the Knapp amendment would carry, but Reed, of Huntington Beach, headed it off by moving that the question be laid over until the next meeting. As none but members of the associated chambers could vote on this it necessitated a roll call and the motion carried by a small margin. The meeting was held in the beautiful club house recently erected by the Placentia Round Table, a society of enterprising ladies of the mushroom town. More than a hundred persons sat down to the sumptuous banquet which had been prepared. A. T. Pendleton, one of the Placentia pioneers, made an address of welcome and told of the rapid development of Orange county during the past few years. "While we have grown in wealth and population, and are building many fine business buildings and factories, we are deficient in good roads," he said. "Orange county is behind all others in this respect, and those in authority should get busy and remedy this." H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, responded with an appropriate address in which he complimented the ladies of the Round Table for the splendid work they were doing for Placentia. A. A. Mills had another resolution in his pocket which he introduced after the adoption of the first one. It read as follows: Whereas, The board of supervisors is preparing to call for a bond issue of about $90,000 to replace the old wooden type of bridges of the county, and Whereas, The cost of good steel bridges will be greatly in excess of this amount (one at Saticoy, Ventura county, just opened, costing $100,-000); be it Resolved, By the associated chambers of commerce of Orange county, that the proposition to replace all bridges of the county is heartily endorsed. Resolved, That the board of supervisors be requested to have plans made for good steel and concrete bridges for all over the county, the cost thereof estimated, and that a bond issue to cover the necessary cost be called, and that this body pledges itself to support and work for such issue. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, explained the bridge situation in the county. He said that six new bridges were needed in the county and while the $90,-000 bond issue might not be sufficient to complete them all the supervisors could draw on funds in hand for the balance. The Mills resolution carried, and Lew Wallace moved that the action of the last meeting of the associated chambers in proposing that money for bridges be raised by direct taxation be rescinded which was adopted The next meeting will be held at Westminster on Wednesday evening, May 29.
