Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. TO CAPTURE STATE ELECTORAL VOTE The conference of California insurgent republican leaders with Gov. Johnson at Sacramento on Saturday, resulted in a decision to make the fight for Roosevelt in California under the designation of the republican party, it is definitely understood on authoritative information. Efforts now will be directed to the election of progressive candidates for the state senate and assembly, who will compose the delegates to the state convention to be held September 24th, three weeks after the primary elections. In addition to the drafting of a platform, this convention will choose the state of presidential electors, and with the Johnson progressives in control, these will be Roosevelt men. Under such circumstances, California republicans will be enabled to cast votes for President Taft's re-election only if the Taft advocates in the state organize for the purpose of circulating individual petitions for a ticket of 13 electors. Each of these petitions will have to be signed by 11,000 qualified voters, not one of whom shall have voted at the primaries or taken any part in on Tuesday evening, July 16th, in the school hall.

The posse separated, Germann and Martenet going around the house and Squires entering within. At the north end of the house Germann, gun in hand, came upon Almendares. "Throw up your hands! Throw up your hands!" Martenet and Squires appeared with guns leveled at the assassin's head. Almendares held out his hands and Germann shapped the handcuffs.

Under such circumstances, California republicans will be enabled to cast votes for President Taft's re-election only if the Taft advocates in the state organize for the purpose of circulating individual petitions for a ticket of 13 electors. Each of these petitions will have to be signed by 11,000 qualified voters, not one of whom shall have voted at the primaries, or taken any part in the nominating candidates for state legislature positions. These petitions will have to be circulated after the primaries and be filed in the secretary of state's office 40 days before the November elections. A statement is expected to be issued today by Gov. Johnson explaining the stand taken by the progressive leaders in their conference yesterday. The argument expected to be made is that the recent Chicago convention was not the republican convention, because it included delegates whom the Roosevelt men claimed were illegally seated. AGAINST THIRD PARTY Senator Cummins, of Iowa, progressive republican candidate for the presidential nomination at the Chicago convention, has formally declared against the new party movement led by Theodore Roosevelt and announced his allegiances to the old party. In so doing Mr. Cummins declares bosses could not be escaped by organization of new parties. To those republicans who, after intelligent inquiry, conclude that President Taft's renomination was the result of fraudulent votes, and "the nominee of the convention is not the nominee of the republican party," he points out that disappointment or individual dishonesty can not be a foundation of a new party. John G. Capers, of South Carolina, member of the republican national committee, who supported Col. Roosevelt at Chicago, also formally announced his intention to support President Taft's candidacy. Mr. Capers in a statement said the work of the majority of the national committee "was not one whit more severe than the steam roller methods of four years ago." "At that time," he said, "in behalf of Candidate Taft, and under the direction of President Roosevelt, I was one of the engineers of the machine and helped flatten out the minority of the committee who were in the same condition when we got through with house where Almendares had left it. The posse separated, Germann and Martenet going around the house and Squires entering within. At the north end of the house Germann, gun in hand, came upon Almendares. "Throw up your hands! Throw up your hands!" Martenet and Squires appeared with guns leveled at the assassin's head. Almendares held out his hands and Germann shapped the handcuffs upon them. In the assassin's rear pocket was his 38-calibre revolver fully loaded. Under his shirt he wore a belt filled with cartidges. "Why did you shoot Kellenberger?" asked Germann. Almendares shrugged his shoulders. He was placed in the auto and brought through town and taken to Santa Ana. In the neighborhood were eight other auto loads of man-hunters, all fully armed. A half hour following the shooting, as a lady living at Garden Grove was driving into town, she met a crowd of 25 Mexicans on bicycles and in rigs hiking out of town. TALKS OF LYNCHING Assassin Was Hiked Through Town at High Speed When it became known that Kellenberger had been shot by a drunken Mexican, talk of lynching was heard on every hand. At first every energy was bent to the man's capture. It was half an hour before the posse got away, but while the assassin had a good start his capture was merely a question of time. When taken into custody a mile beyond Buena Park, eight automobiles containing 35 armed and determined men, were within a radius of a mile of the fleeing man. When news of his capture reached this city at noon, after a three and a half hours' search, talk of lynching revived. One man procured a rope. The assassin was taken through town at a 50-mile clip, past a crowd of a thousand determined men eager for the assassin's blood. Mexican Had a Gun As Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Squires were driving into town in an automobile, in response to telephone advices of the shooting, they met a rig in which were two Mexicans, on South Los Angeles street, driving rapidly out of the city. One of the men tallied with the description of the assassin. The rig was halted and the man taken into custody. A search revealed that he carried a large revolver. Monthly summary and expenses of the United States has by the Bureau of Revenue from the reports filed by the railways with Commerce Commission months from July, 1911 to the latest month for available. Net operating revenue for any one month is $409, the lowest $20. Seven of the ten 1911 to April, 1912, net operating revenue as compared with months of the fiscal 30, 1911; and eleven the fiscal year which 1911 showed decrease with respect to months of the fiscal 30, 1910. It is then that trend of railway been downward for years. The summary for that net operating revenue than for April, 1912 equivalent per mile is 11.4 per cent.

Mr. Capers in a statement said the work of the majority of the national committee "was not one whit more severe than the steam roller methods of four years ago." "At that time," he said, "in behalf of Candidate Taft, and under the direction of President Roosevelt, I was one of the engineers of the machine and helped flatten out the minority of the committee who were in the same condition when we got through with them as were the 15 men of the committee at the Chicago convention at this time." Mr. Capers was one of the 15. BUENA PARK SQUIBS There were two lawn parties at the park on the Fourth of July, one with Mrs. J. D Juynes, the other at Mrs. Sam Winters and both largely attended. Games and music, a splendid basket dinner and a general good time was enjoyed by the large party present. Geo. H. Warren's new brick building approaches a state of completion and will be quite improvement to the park. The Whist Club was entertained last week by Mrs. Geo. Durgan. Everybody had a good time and were almost sorry to adjourn meetings until September 1st, when they will be entertained by Mrs. Henry Warren. The Eastern Star Chapter has just purchased 12 beautiful chairs for the use of its officers. The Board of Education has fitted up a handsome stage in the school hall. Every thing is in most excellent taste a beautiful drop curtain, footlights, entrances, wings, etc., etc. They have also purchased a fine piano for the use of their patrons. The park hall is quite a credit to the board, the only very necessary adjunct now being an upstairs ladies' toilet room which is in contemplation. The Ladies' Mutual Aid Association will give a play entitled "Lady Mason" Mexican Had a Gun As Sheriff Ruddock and Deputy Squires were driving into town in an automobile, in response to telephone advices of the shooting, they met a rig in which were two Mexicans, on South Los Angeles street, driving rapidly out of the city. One of the men tallied with the description of the assassin. The rig was halted and the man taken into custody. A search revealed that he carried a large revolver. He was not the man wanted, but he was placed in jail on a charge of carrying concealed weapons. Stone Makes Arrest Constable Stone, of Fullerton, arrested a Mexican on the road north of this city an hour after the shooting under suspicion of being the assassin. Stone was among the first officers in the chase. The man was brought to this city, and liberated on showing that he was not implicated in the tragedy. CONDITION IMPROVED Wounded Marshal Has Chance for Recovery Reports from the bedside of the wounded man yesterday were to the effect that his condition had improved since the day before, and that hope existed that he would recover. An hour after the shooting the wounded officer was thought to be dying. Twice during the day he had sinking spells and those about him thought the end was near. During the evening hours an improvement was noted, and yesterday morning this favorable condition continued. CONDITION CRITICAL Kellenberger's condition yesterday afternoon was reported to be critical and the utmost anxiety is felt for his recovery. Job was a patient man, but he never found the cat asleep on the piano just after he had varnished it. MEXICAN CLOTHES THIEF Justice Howard on Monday sentenced a Mexican to 30 days in the county jail for attempting to steal a suit of clothes from the S. Q. R. store Saturday morning. The Mexican was caught red-handed as he was walking out the door with the suit of clothes, wrapped in a newspaper, under his arm. Marshal Kellenberger was sent for and the Mexican, who looked to be 25 years old, was placed in the city bastile. Two common inebriates were fined five bones each, and advised to keep on the water wagon hereafter. DIMINISHING RAILWAY RETURNS Confidence in the ability of a railway company properly to continue its operations and adequately to maintain and extend its facilities depends in greatest measure upon its net operating revenue. This is what is left of the receipts from traffic constituting the total operating revenue, after the operating expenses have been met. As the mileage of the railways tends to increase year by year, an accurate measure is obtained of the operating revenues, operating expenses, and net operating revenue by ascertaining what they have amounted to for each mile. It may be, for example, as was the case in March, that while in the aggregate net operating revenue has increased, it has decreased when measured per mile of line. Monthly summaries of the revenues and expenses of the steam railways of the United States have been compiled by the Bureau of Railway Economics for a period of eight months by month. W. C. T. U.

Glover, of the University of Michigan, demonstrates that every policyholder of a $10,000 ordinary whole life policy could save about $20.00 a year on his premiums if tuberculosis and typhoid fever were eliminated. Tuberculosis alone causes a loss to such a policyholder of from $16.70 at age 20 to $17.70 at age 60. At age 20, with the present high death rate from tuberculosis, this one disease alone shortens the complete expectation of life by two years and 158 days. While the death rate from tuberculosis seems to be declining, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that the combined effort of every man, woman and child is necessary to bring about a radical reduction in life insurance rates such as Professor Glover has indicated. Not a few of the world's greatest geniuses in art, science and literature have died from tuberculosis, and on this account certain writers, such as Dr. Arthur Jacobson or Dr. John B. Huber, think that possibly this disease may provide a certain stimulus to the genius of an already great man. The following are some of the great men and women of letters mentioned by Dr. Jacobson who have died from tuberculosis: John Milton, John Locke, Alexander Pope, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Sir Walter Scott, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Goethe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sidney Lanier, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Voltaire, John Ruskin, Charles Kingsley, Immanuel Kant, Rousseau, E. P. Roe, and Paul measure is obtained of the operating revenues, operating expenses, and net operating revenue by ascertaining what they have amounted to for each mile. It may be, for example, as was the case in March, that while in the aggregate net operating revenue has increased, it has decreased when measured per mile of line. Monthly summaries of the revenues and expenses of the steam railways of the United States have been compiled by the Bureau of Railway Economics from the reports filed month by month by the railways with the Interstate Commerce Commission, for the 22 months from July, 1910 to April, 1912, the latest month for which returns are available. Net operating revenue per mile of line for the railways as a whole in comparison with the corresponding months of the previous year decreased in 18 of these months, and increased in but four. The decrease per mile of line per month was as great in amount as $53, and as great in ratio as 15 per cent. The greatest increase for any one of the four months showing increases was $31, or 14.1 per cent. This was in February, 1912, and was exceptional as this month contained one more day than February, 1911. The highest average net operating revenue per mile of line for any one month of this period was $409, the lowest $203. Seven of the ten months from July, 1911 to April, 1912, show decreases in net operating revenue per mile of line as compared with the corresponding months of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911; and eleven of the months of the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1911, showed decreases in comparison with the respective corresponding months of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910. It is therefore evident that the trend of railway net revenue has been downward for the past two years. The summary for April, 1912, shows that net operating revenue was less than for April, 1911, by $6,026,440, equivalent per mile of line to $33, or 11.4 per cent. This net operating revenue, which in the aggregate amounted $56,362,945, averaged $8.57 for each mile of line for each day in April, less by $1.11 than for each day of April of last year. This is the gross income per mile of line per day before anything has been taken out for taxes, rentals, interest on bonds, appropriations for betterments or dividends. Taxes for April amounted to $44 per mile of line, an increase of 9.4 per cent. BOY SCOUTS GOOD TURNS Lieutenant General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who has sailed from this country to Australia, on a visit to the Boy Scouts of the world tells many interesting stories of good turns done by boys. "I have seen," said he, "a good many hundreds of people of late, and almost every one has had some good turn to tell me that has been done to him by Boy Scouts. And that must mean, of course, that there are hundreds of thousands of these good turns being done every day by scouts and am I not glad to hear it! People whose motor cars have broken down, people who wanted to know the way, ladies crossing streets, men lost in fog, cyclists on a steep hill, mothers whose children had strayed, farmers with broken fences or wandering cattle—all write thanking me for what scouts have done to help them. In one case I heard of a drunken man who was staggering and falling about the street—a dirty and disgraceful sight at any time, but in this case particularly had, because a lot of sneaking sort of boys were jeering at him and throwing mud at him; but a patrol of scouts happened to come along (as they always seem to do when their services are needed), and the leader, seeing what was going on at once took charge of the helpless fool, and finding out where he lived, he made his patrol support him off to his home." SCOUT TRAINING LABES J. B. Leonard, scout master of a troop of Boy Scouts in Goatesville, Pa., believes that the training which the boy gets through activities have an influence upon them for the remainder of their lives. "Scout activities," he says, "provide ample and varied outlets for the surplus energy which ease may provide a certain stimulus to the genius of an already great man. The following are scole of the great men and women of letters mentioned by Dr. Jacobson who have died from tuberculosis: John Milton, John Locke, Alexander Pope, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Sir Walter Scott, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Goethe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sidney Lanier, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Voltaire, John Ruskin, Charles Kingsley, Immanuel Kant, Rousseau, E. P. Roe, and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Among other great men who are reported to have died of tuberculosis may be mentioned Raphael von Weber, Chopin, Nevin, Calvin, Cicero, and Cecil Rhodes. While the tuberculosis death rate is falling rapidly in every civilized country, due largely to vigorous campaigns against tuberculosis, recent figures given out by the International Congress on Tuberculosis at Rome show that from one-tenth to one-fourth of the total mortality of Europe is caused by this disease. The approximate number of deaths in each million population from tuberculosis in certain countries are indicated in the following table: Russia ... 4,000 Austria-Hungary ... 3,500 France ... 3,000 Germany ... 2,200 Holland ... 1,900 Italy ... 1,800 Scotland ... 1,700 United States ... 1,600 England ... 1,400 The United States death rate is for only a little more than one-half the population or for the registration area, and is not strictly comparable with the others. DR. WICKSON IS RELIEVED Dr. Hunt to Become Dean of U. of C. College of Agriculture Dr. Thomas Forsythe Hunt, recognized as one of the five great teachers of agriculture of the nation, is to succeed Dr. E. J. Wickson as dean of the College of Agriculture of the University of California. Dr. Wickson is relieved at his own request that he may devote more time to the state's fruit growing interests and his classes in horticulture. Dr. Hunt is at present dean of the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania State University. FOR THE FACE Be careful to use the purest benzoin in toilet creams. To test it put some in water.

Taxes for April amounted to $44 per mile of line, an increase of 9.4 percent. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Posing as a good example is no easy job. When you meet a trouble borrower lend him all you have. Lies may fool a few people, but the truth fools a great many. French self-taught is usually confined to French self-understood. The cost may not make the man, but lawsuits make the attorney. When some doctors disagree the patient has a fighting chance for his life. Small favors are always thankfully received, but often unthankfully remembered. Occasionally a man has nothing to say on a subject because he knows all about it. In addition to the criticism he is entitled to, every man gets a lot that he can't account for. A spinster thinks it's up to her to take a bachelor seriously—otherwise she may not get a chance to take him at all. When a young man sits 10 feet away from a girl and calmly informs her that she is his first and only love, she can bank on his veracity. TO HOLD TENT MEETINGS Evangelist Rev. A. J. Neufeld of Escondido, and H. A. Hodgin, of Pasadena, will conduct old-time revival meetings in a large tent which has been erected east of the Boston Bakery, beginning this (Thursday) evening, July 11, and continuing to July 28. Meetings begin promptly at 7:45. Everybody welcome. SCOUT TRAINING LABTS THROUGH MEDIATED J. B. Leonard, scout master of a troop of Boy South Georgiaville, Pa., believes that the training which the boy gets through activities have an influence upon them for the remainder of their lives. "Scout activities," he says, "provide ample and varied outlets for the surplus energy which may be found in every boy." "Contact with nature develops the religious instinct of the boy and trains him to be a strong moral man. Scout laws have a wonderful effect on the boy's after life. It he is encouraged to be thrifty in boyhood, he seldom slips on that point in manhood. The same principle applies to honor, loyalty, service, brotherhood, kindness and the like. The outdoor life develops a clean, healthy body in which an unclean mind is very rare. The boy is transformed from a rowdy to a gentleman. A scout who has had much experience in camping trips is generally cheerful, philosophical and energetic. Various kinds of manual work trains the will as well as the hand." What would this town be like if every citizen was just like me? Ask yourself that, and see if you get disgusted at how little you have done for the upbuilding of the town. "Trade at home" is an old slogan, but it is one that will stand the test of time. Benny Birnbaum is now acting as city mail carrier, taking the route of Fred Stankey, who is enjoying a half-months' vacation. "What are you smiling about?" asked Noah. "I was just thinking," replied Japhet, "how lucky it was we could go ahead and build this ark without waiting for an appropriation from congress." Bathing Suits AND DUSTERS AT L. Z. Kroeger's 128 W. Center Street, Anaheim 4,000 SUMMER CAMPS Boy Scouts of American to Have Summer Outings There will be at least 4,000 camps of boy scouts in this country this summer. These figures were obtained from reports sent in to James E. West chief scout executive of the boy scouts of America, by various scout masters. Four thousand scout masters have said that they are going to taek the boys camping. It is quite probable that the number will be still greater. The information received at the national headquarters shows how eager hundreds of thousands of boys are for camp life. They are planning for the summer's fun.
