Come and w F. SUIE ONE C Y M C A LEAGUE FOR ORATORY Y.M.C.A. LEAGUE FOR ORATORY OBJECT TO PROMOTE PUBLIC SPEAKING Realizing the importance of public speaking, the County Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association of Orange county have organized the Y.M.C.A. Oratorical League for the purpose of promoting oratorical contests among the members of the association between the ages of 12 and 20 years inclusive. Membership in the league is open to any member of any Young Men's Christian Association in Orange county, or of any Y.M.C.A. Bible class, or Y.M.C.A. group or club, provided they are between the ages of 12 and 20 years, inclusive. These organizations shall be known as branches of this league. Boys and young men outside of organized points may join the county Y.M.C.A. and thus qualify for membership in this league. Such members may be grouped into branches of the league at the discretion of the county committee. Local branches should conduct contests among their own members. Winners of local contests are entitled to compete in county contests. The competing group should consist of not less than six or more than eight members. Silver medals should be awarded to winners of local contests, and gold medals to winners of county contests. Grand gold medals may be used in contests composed of six or more winners of gold medals, and diamond medals for holders of grand gold medals. These may be secured from W.C.T.U. contest superintendents. A beautiful silver cup has been offered by Geo. B. Key, of Placentia, chairman of the county committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations of Orange county, to be awarded at the next county convention, in May, 1913, to the branch which has secured the most points on the following scoring system: 1. Each local branch conducting a contest shall be given a score consisting of the sum total of the ages of the contestants, ages being counted from the last birthday. 2. At county contests for gold medals each branch shall be given points according to the ages of the contestants from that branch, and the winner shall be awarded twenty-five points extra for his branch. 3. The grand total at the end of the year shall determine the branch which has won the cup. The rules which have been used in the W.C.T.U. contest work shall be adopted as the rules of this league, and their system of marking in awarding medals. The only selections which may be used in these contests are the prose orations found in the W.C.TU., and Demorest contest books. These all must not be compiled, but spoken in their entirety. The selection recited by the winner of a medal shall not be repeated in competing for another medal. 3. A speaker may contest any number of times. 4. Branches may be combined in getting up contests, if necessary, dividing points according to the ages of the contestants from each branch. 5. The award of the medal should be decided by three disinterested judges for whom regulation printed forms for marking are provided.

They were seeking to find their way to Los Angeles without guides, deserting the usual custom of going in a band with smugglers to show them the way at so much per head. Henry Stewart of San Juan Capistrano caught the first of the two luckless Celestials. He saw the man beside the road evidently exhausted. Stewart turned the Chinaman over to Matias Bellardes, who held him at the depot until Immigration Inspector Harry Blee of Santa Ana arrived and took him in charge. On the man was found a description of the route to be followed from Mexico to Los Angeles. This letter was minute in its details as to the trails and roads. The next morning after this man's capture, Bellardes was in the store at the mission village when a gaunt Chinaman walked in and bought a supply of food. Bellardes thought he might be a contraband, and notified Blee at Santa Ana by telephone. Blee arrested him and took him to Los Angeles. The Commonwealth school east of town closes the term this week for the summer vacation. HIGH SCHOOL IN COMEDY Continued from Page One classes and other members of the music department.

FACES FELONY CHARGE Santa Ana School Teacher Comes Back to Stand Trial R. C. Macdonald, principal of the McKinley grammar school of Santa Ana, wanted on a charge of rape, gave himself up at the county jail Tuesday morning last. "I have come back to take my medicine," said Macdonald, as he placed himself in the hands of the jailor. "I was at the sick-bed of my father at Merced when I heard that a warrant had been issued for my arrest," he continued, "and I came at once to give myself up." Macdonald disappeared from Santa Ana a couple of weeks ago, shortly before a warrant for his arrest had been issued, charging the crime of rape. It is alleged that Macdonald's relations with Hazel Hambelton, a fourteen-year-old pupil of the McKinley school, were of a criminal nature. The girl is the daughter of Mrs. Dora Hambelton, a widow of Santa Ana. FRED KELLY MAKES TEAM Will Accompany Athletes on Trip to Stockholm The showing made by two Los Angeles athletes in the recent coast tryouts for places on the Olympic team make certain a representation for the Angel City on the squad which visits Stockholm this summer. Fred Kelly and Jim Donahue are the men who will likely be chosen. Kelly surprised all critics of track and field athletes when he defeated Deming Maclise, Edward Beason, Martin Hawkins and Forrest Smithson in the 110-meter hurdles in the track tryouts on the Stanford oval. Young Fred was regarded as little more than a comer by every athlete who has watched him work, but he proved that he has already arrived and what he will be able to accomplish when he works under a trainer like Moulton or Murphy should be remarkable. Up to this season Kelly has had little or no conditioning by men who understand the best methods in hurdling. He has been left to himself to develop form and style, but he has succeeded in a marvelous way. Kelly first attracted attention when he competed in the Stanford inter-scholastic last season and took second place for his school—Orange high—single handed. He won both hurdle events with ease and placed second in the hundred, totaling 13 points. The work of the lad created a momentary sensation, but after the track season closed little was heard of him until he enrolled at U.S.C. during the second semester this year. He immediately started training and proved himself the best hurdler of Southern California colleges by easily defeating Dill and Kirkpatrick of Occidental. He also met and defeated Kern and Campbell of Stanford and took second to Maclise in the dual meet with California. LEGUMINOTHERAPY ATTEMPT TO WRECK TRAIN Santa Fe Passenger Train Narrowly Escapes Disaster Ignorance of the use of a derailer-switch prevented the success of a bungling attempt to wreck Santa Fe train No. 75, from San Diego, Sunday evening at 5 o'clock at Balivan, a sliding six miles north of San Juan Capistrano. The fact that a camp of I.W.W.'s was reported in the vicinity the night before caused a suspicion that the threatened war of retaliation against San Diego has been started. Train No. 75, which left San Diego at 3 o'clock with a long string of coaches filled with passengers, met the southbound train at Serra at 4.40 o'clock. Suddenly the train swerved and lurched as it took the siding where the switch was thrown. The conductor, engineer and brakeman instantly seized the emergency brake levers. Passengers were almost jolted out of their seats as the wheels ground and slid. Then came a mighty lurch of the forward coaches. The crashing of ties could be heard above the sliding of wheels, and for a moment there was a near-panic. The train came quickly to a standstill. The locomotive knocked a derailer loose and broken rods tore up ties for several yards, but the rails remained firm. The opening of the switch was declared to be unquestionably the work of a wrecker. Within fifteen minutes previously the southbound train had passed. The heavy lock was broken off and it was not to be found, although a diligent search was made for it. Had it been a case of a brakeman's carelessness the lock would have been found in its place. The would-be wrecker bungled in not knowing that the obstruction on the rail that serves as a derailer would lift the wheels off the track only when the locomotive was south bound. From the other direction, as was the case Sunday, the derailing obstruction presented no incline and Macdonald disappeared from Santa Ana a couple of weeks ago, shortly before a warrant for his arrest had been issued, charging the crime of rape. It is alleged that Macdonald's relations with Hazel Hambelton, a fourteen-year-old pupil of the McKinley school, were of a criminal nature. The girl is the daughter of Mrs. Dora Hambelton, a widow of Santa Ana. She is a poor woman and has been receiving aid from the county. The girl is described as a quiet, modest maid, not given to boldness in demeanor. She is said to have been receiving private instruction in typewriting from Macdonald, coming to his house on Saturdays. Several months ago there was a story in circulation to the effect that Macdonald's actions aroused suspicion, but no investigation was made. The suspicions of a neighbor of the girl were aroused, however, and he watched her. On Sunday, May 12th, she went to Macdonald's home and remained for some time. An investigation was then begun, and resulted in the filing of a complaint against the man. Macdonald has been principal of the McKinley school for the past two years. He is married and his work as a teacher has been satisfactory. The developments in the affair have profoundly shocked the people acquainted with him and his connection with the school. CARD OF THANKS To the friends and neighbors who rendered us such kind and generous assistance during the illness and subsequent burial of our husband and father, we desire to return our sincere thanks. Nicanora Knowlton, Laura Knowlton. LEGUMINOTHERAPY Leguminotherapy is the latest scientific novelty. It is a big name for vegetable diet—not, however, the ordinary vegetable diet, but a scientific diet whereby the exact physiological and temperamental relations of each vegetable to the human system are carefully determined. Green peas, for example, according to this new science, cause frivolity, and should be withheld from young ladies with a tendency to flirt. On the other hand, they are excellent for wall flowers and pessimists, and should be given in generous helpings to bashful boys. Carrots develop good temper and amiability, and are particularly recommended for janitors, car conductors and ticket agents. The potato develops reason, as well as calmness and reflection; but care must be taken lest it induce apathy and indifference or that disinclination to work which is observable among boys who are fed daily on fried potatoes. String beans stimulate the poetic and artistic faculties; while cabbage and cauliflower, nourishing though they are, excite to obstreperousness, and are therefore to be shunned by those in training for the parlor. Julius Schneider is busily engaged in taking the county assessment. He looks for a considerable raise in the assessment of this district, and predicts a low tax rate. THE VALUE OF VEGETABLES Spinach, containing as it does a large amount of iron, can scarcely be ignored as a valuable spring vegetable dish. Rhubarb is rich in oxalic acid, which does much to tone up the system. Onions contain much nutrition, but are most valuable for their pungent oil, which is rich in sulphur. Asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, are chiefly valued for their mineral salts and for the bulk, variety and relish they give to the diet. Cabbage contains a great deal of sulphur and for this reason frequently causes flatulence. Cauliflower, which is of the same family, is more easily digested. Beets, carrots and parsnips all contain a large percentage of sugar. Carrots and parsnips when young and tender are very nutritious.

ELECTRIC OFFICIALS Make Visits to Orange and Santa Ana on Monday Paul Shoup, D. W. Pontius and G. E. Pillsbury, vice president, traffic manager and chief engineer of the Pacific Electric, and other officials of that railway arrived in Santa Ana about noon Monday from Los Angeles and were met by a committee from Orange. After luncheon the R. E. officials were taken in automobiles by the Orange committeemen and were taken to that town to go over the proposed route for the electric line extension from Santa Ana. The purpose of this inspection is that the P. E. and the committeemen might get together on some proposed changes in the route. Mr. Shoup and his associates later held a conference with Santa Ana citizens. The P. E. asks a free right of way through Orange as far north to the Tustin tracks of the Southern Pacific south of Anaheim. It is understood that as soon as rights of way are secured work of constructing the line from Santa Ana to Orange will begin. The S. P. tracks will be electrized, and cars will come into this city over the S. P. line. THE SUMMER COURSE The Anaheim Union High School trustees have decided to retain the efficient manual training teacher, R. I. Turner, as instructor in a 6-weeks manual training course during the coming vacation. The three thousand dollar plant at the high school will thus be kept in use to advantage.The course will begin July 8th. The students will, by working all day, be enabled to do a year's regular work during this course. Two courses will be offered, the regular academic and an advanced course for students desiring to continue beyond the regular course. The trustees are to be commended for instituting the summer course. The next step will be OUTING OF BOY SCOUTS Anaheim Scouts Have Outing in Santiago Canyon Decoration Day Several members of Troops No. 1 and 2, Boy Scouts of America, in this city, led by Scoutmasters E. B. Douglas and Wayne Goble, rode bicycles to Orange county park in the Santiago canyon on Wednesday afternoon of last week and camped for the night, returning Thursday afternoon. Their blankets and provisions were taken up in an automobile by Walter Ross. The party left this city at 4:45 on Wednesday afternoon and arrived at the park at 7:30. They made camp in the park camping grounds and all spent the night in more or less quietness and comfort. At 4:30 in the morning all were awake and after getting breakfast, the boys went in search of a good swimming pool. This was found and after hikes over the hills until eleven o'clock many of the boys went swimming. After lunch the scouts broke camp, and spent the afternoon in the park. They returned home in the evening, bringing with them recollections of a happy day spent in the woods. Troops of scouts from Orange and Santa Ana were also in the camp during the day.

Send us a description of your property bitten by vicious dog Continued from Page One in the neighborhood declare many persons have been bitten by the dogs. At one time recently, when a lady had been bitten, he called for a gun with which to kill them. Two of the dogs are local canines, and two others belong in Santa Ana. When the four met on Monday afternoon, Mr. Henry states, they became a terror to passers-by. He immediately lodged complaint with city officials, and demanded that they be exterminated. Many complaints have recently come from the dogs, and there can be no doubt they are a dangerous menace to travelers in that thickly settled part of the city.
