TWOPOSTOFFICES BURGLARIZED LAST WEEK THIEVES LOOT BOTH GARDEN GROVE AND OLIVE OFFICES, BUT SECURE LITTLE BOOTY OFFICERS ARE SEARCHING FOR TWO SUSPECTS RIDING A MOTORCYCLE One dollar and thirty-five cents in nickels and pennies was the only loot of burglars who broke into four buildings at Garden Grove early Thursday morning. The thieves dared the vengeance of the federal authorities by robbing the postoffice. Two cash drawers were broken open and $1.20 in pennies and stamps taken. Disappointed because of the meager loot at the postoffice, the burglars entered a cigar factory owned by C. C. Brown. Here they found 5 cents. A hay and feed store owned by John Jentzes was next broken into. Seven pennies was all that they found in the cash register. From the hay and feed store the burglars broke into a poolroom and there discovered that the cash drawer only three pennies. The sheriff's office assigned deputies to investigate the robberies, while federal officers began a separate investigation of the postoffice robbery. Some time during Friday night burglars also broke into the postoffice at Olive and got away with $20 in cash. CALIFORNIA WINE MEN WIN A VICTORY Senate Agrees to Reduce Prohibitive Tax on Brandy and Dry Wine The men who have been fighting in congress in the interest of the California wine growers have gained a victory. The conferees on the revenue bill at the last minute decided, on earnest recommendation, to restore the tax on grape brandy and dry wines as it had been fixed by the house. The senate had fixed the grape brandy tax at 55 cents, a prohibitive figure, and the conferees cut this to 10 cents. The tax on dry wines, which had been raised to 8 cents by the senate, was reduced by the conferees to 4 cents. The conferees, however, insisted on an allowance of 35 per cent for stretching on resultant product, instead of 25 per cent, as asked by Senator Phelan. The original measure levied a tax of 4 cents a gallon on wine containing up to 14 per cent, of alcohol; 10 cents a gallon on wine containing between 14 and 21 per cent of alcohol, and 25 cents a gallon on wine containing between 21 and 24 per cent of alcohol. Wine containing over 24 per cent of alcohol, none of which is made in California, was to be taxed as distilled spirits. WILL ABOLISH ADVERTISING SIGNS State Highway Commission Says the Bill Board Must Go Active work has been started by the state highway commission to abolish all advertising signs from the right of way of all state roads. Copies of the following communication were mailed to each firm having bill pennies was all that they found in the cash register. From the hay and feed store the burglars broke into a poolroom and there discovered that the cash drawer only three pennies. The sheriff's office assigned deputies to investigate the robberies, while federal officers began a separate investigation of the postoffice robbery. Some time during Friday night burglars also broke into the postoffice at Olive and got away with $20 in cash. It is believed to be the work of the same gang that did the job at Garden Grove. Entrance to the Olive postoffice, which is located in the Kuzel & Lorenson store, was gained by prying open a window in the rear of the store which had been nailed shut. The store was thoroughly ransacked, but nothing other than the money which had been left in a cash drawer in the postoffice department was taken. The burglary is supposed to have occurred between two and three o'clock Saturday morning. At that time A. M. Lorensen, the postmaster, who lives next door to the store, heard a slight noise which he thought was across the street. He paid no attention to this. A few minutes later he heard a motorcycle engine started in the neighborhood and the person or persons who were using the machine soon rode away. The fact that the postoffice had been burglarized was not discovered until the store was opened in the morning. A report was made immediately to Sheriff Jackson, and Under Sheriffs Iman and Deputy Maxwell were sent to Olive to investigate. No trace of the burglars other than finger prints were found. These were taken by Maxwell, who is a finger print expert and some clew as to the identity of the burglars may be secured by this means. The burglary was also reported to the postoffice authorities in Los Angeles and Inspector Ranger arrived at Olive shortly before noon to start a Federal investigation. This is the third postoffice robbery in Southern California during the week. The first was at Norwalk early in the week. The burglars secured a small amount of cash there. ANOTHER EXTORTIONIST PINCHED AT SEAL BEACH Impersonates an Officer and Collects $10 From Young Man WILL ABOLISH ADVERTISING SIGNS State Highway Commission Says the Bill Board Must Go Active work has been started by the state highway commission to abolish all advertising signs from the right way of all state roads. Copies of the following communication were mailed to each firm having bill boards along the state roads and it is expected that by Sept. 15 the last bill board will have been removed: "I beg to advise that I have been instructed to cause the removal of all signs along the right way of the state highway. As we are desirous of having all these signs removed at an early date, I would ask that you give this matter your immediate attention. As your particular sign represents considerable financial outlay on your part and it is possible that you may wish to use the same in some other location we are giving you this notice in order that you may protect your property." In each letter is quoted that section of the state statute which makes it a misdemeanor to maintain an advertising device along the right way of the state highway. Since the plan of the Commission to do away with all signs along the roads was first made known several days ago, one rubber firm which has made a practice of marking all roadways throughout the country with road signs which bear an advertisement of their goods, has apaled to the commission for special permits to maintain its markers. A special meeting of the board was called to discuss the matter and the following ruling resulted: "A public board cannot license or permit one person to erect advertising signs upon the highway and refuse such a privilege to others without subjecting itself to a charge of discrimination." In the case of the present application, however, the board is willing that they shall be allowed until Dec. first to remove their markers in recognition of public service rendered.

Williams of Long Beach was bound over to the Superior court on a charge of extorting money from "spooning" couples on the sands of Seal Beach, it developed Thursday that another young man giving his name as George Bowen expected to get hush money from spooners whom he frightened with a fake arrest. His victims were George Harrison and his fiancee, Miss Mabel Gordon of Long Beach. They were sitting on the beach in the moonlight, when Bowen approached and charged them with improper actions. He placed them under arrest, using an old-style Los Angeles deputy sheriff badge as his authority. Bowen is alleged to have offered to let them go for $10. Harrison paid rather than submit his fiancee to further indignities. Harrison jumped into the fight and Bowen was getting the worst of it when City Marshall Neuschwanger arrived and subdued the alleged extorter. He was taken to Santa Ana and booked on a charge of extortion. With the arrest of Bowen and Williams, the marshal believes he has cleaned up the offenders against the peace and quiet-of happy lovers in Seal Beach and Long Beach. Dr. M. M.

Naturalists say that long ago the prehistoric waters were infested with a species of enormous shark which finally became extinct by reason of the workings of its voracious appetite. Thus nature eliminates the over fed. The desire for ease of life and plentiful diet is universal and is the great stimulus of man and animals alike. When man becomes greedy and takes more ease and food and drink than is his share, nature discards him. In the race for power and place, for ease of circumstance and relief from the stimulus of hunger, the modern man is apt to forget that unless he is careful of his body he will soon be made to suffer for the infraction of Nature's inexorable physical law. With the loss in body tone comes an equal loss in mental activity and the brain which for a time was able to operate despite the complaints of an over fed under exercised, self poisoned body, stops working. Statisticians have discovered that the mortality rate of persons in the United States over 45 years of age is increasing. The strenuous life of today is not alone responsible for this. Lack of health giving exercise, superfluity of diet, lack of restoring sleep, over stimulation, the high pressure of the race for power, wealth and position, plus physical neglect—these bring early decay. The goal is reached, wealth is amassed, honor, position and power are just being grasped when In the case of the present application, however, the board is willing that they shall be allowed until Dec. first to remove their markers in recognition of public service rendered.

This unit embraces part of the Diablo range lying between the Salinas and San Joaquin valleys. The elevator of accomplishment turns to the ashes of dissolution. The brilliant mind becomes clouded, the steady hand is no longer accurate, the eye which once gazed fearlessly on the whole world is dimmed and it is not long before the final break up occurs. All of this was entirely preventable. Other things being equal it is the man who leads the well balanced life who lasts the longest, whose work to the end is uniformly the best, he who neither over works, nor over plays, neither over eats, over drinks, nor over sleeps, he who maintains a standard of simple healthy diet in moderation, who offsets mental work with physical recreation, who is as honest with his own body as he is with his own business. When success comes to such a one his physical and mental condition is such that he can enjoy in peace of mind and contentment of body the fruits of his labors. The regulation of the U. S. Public Health Service state: "It is the duty of officers to maintain their physical as well as their professional fitness. To this end they shall be allowed time for recreation and study whenever their official duties will permit." If the Government regards it as essential that its sanitary experts shall be safeguarded in this way, is it not equally important to every citizen that he similarly maintain a high standard of physical integrity? COMBINATION AGAINST FIRE POLICY HOLDERS That is the Charge Made by Los Angeles Attorney in Santa Ana Court Declaring that a campaign fund to terrorize holders of fire insurance policies in Los Angeles has been raised by the board of insurance companies so did James G. Blaine before him; but although both cried out for freer trade they did not believe in burning down the house in order to enjoy roast pig, or that it was necessary to yield the principle of protection to home industries in order intelligently to secure for the United States its proper share of the world's trade. Moreover, while President McKinley was giving voice to his great vision at Buffalo the German government and the German people were proving in a way that the world has never surpassed that an unexamined development of trade could take place while FOREST LANDS ELIMINATED On September 5 the president signed a proclamation eliminating from the Monterey national forest, the entire San Benito Division, comprising 140.427 acres, of which 24,662 acres or 17% is now in private ownership. This unit embraces part of the Diablo range lying between the Salinas and San Joaquin valleys. The elevation ranges from 1750 feet to 5250 feet. The topography and surface are such as to permit horseback travel, practically without regard to roads or trails. Owing to the low elevation, the rainfall is light. It is estimated that it does not exceed 25 inches annually, even on the timbered portion. The temperature ranges from 15 degrees to 115 degrees and the summers are very dry and hot. About 10,000 acres located in patches through T. 18 S., Rg. 12 and 13 E. are covered with a scattered stand of coulter pine, jeffrey pine, digger pine and incense cedar. The remaining cover consists of digger pine, oak and brush species. The total estimated stand is approximately 13 million feet of timber and 158,000 cords of wood. The timber is of poor quality and so scattered among inferior species and so inaccessible that it cannot be milled in competition with the better product of the Sierras and the Coast range. The timbered acreage has practically all been cut over, and no more cutting of any amount will be profitable for at least a 30 year period. It is improbable that there will be any local market for timber in this locality for many years to come. The area is crossed by the King City-Coalinga road and is also reached by road from Mendota and Tres Pinos. The San Benito river is the only stream of any importance that has its source within this division, and the forest cover is so open and scattered that not much importance is attributed to it from the standpoint of watershed protection. There are no available power possibilities within this division and no known reservoir sites of any consideration. It is estimated that approximately 3000 acres of this unit have some value for agricultural purposes. These soils lie in scattered tracts and consist of heavy clays and adobes. The elimination is made on the basis of a report from the district forester Angeles to San Diego. He is a brother of Mrs. Claus Spreckles. COMBINATION AGAINST FIRE POLICY HOLDERS That is the Charge Made by Los Angeles Attorney in Santa Ana Court Declaring that a campaign fund to terrorize holders of fire insurance policies in Los Angeles has been raised by the board of insurance companies and taking oath that a combine exists whereby one attorney in Los Angeles frequently brings in arson prosecution ahead of the hearing of the civil suit for judgments on a fire insurance policy, Attorney P. H. McPherrin of Los Angeles, Friday in superior court at Santa Ana made a fight against transferring a civil case from Orange county to Los Angeles county. McPherrin is attorney for Nellie Hamilton, who is suing the German American Insurance company and the Scottish Union to collect upon policies issued on 251 South Orange Grove avenue, Pasadena. Attorney W. H. Hindman for the insurance companies moved to change the cases to Los Angeles on the ground that all of the witnesses live in that county. McPherrin resisted this change of venue proposal, and filed an avidaffit in which he admits that F. H. Hamilton, husband of the defendant is indicted in Los Angeles on a charge of arson, the burning of the Orange Grove residence. McPherrin alleges that the board companies organized a fund by which it has conducted a "campaign of terror" against persons holding insurance policies. He states that great publicity has been obtained through the Los Angeles papers. The situation arose whereby Arthur Keetch, a deputy district attorney, was always assigned to prosecute arson cases, and "so well did he subserve the interests of the insurance companies," that he retired as deputy district attorney and entered the employ of the board companies. It is asserted by McPherrin that when a charge of arson is brought, Keetch appears with the prosecution as special counsel, and Hindman fights the civil suit for judgment on the policies, a plan that McPherrin declares that an atmosphere of against the middle, the combination playing to bring the prosecution in ahead of the trial of the civil action. Because of the activities of the board companies' campaigners, McPherrin was giving voice to his great vision at Buffalo the German government and the German people were proving in a way that the world has never surpassed that an unexamined development of trade could take place while at the same time there was applied to the home industries not only the protection of customs tariffs but also that of combinations within the empire. The German trusts or cartels, if you wish—the thing is the same—encouraged by the government, in connection with the German method of promoting trade in foreign countries and the laying of protective home tariffs, secured for them the very markets about which the vision of McKinley centered. But at the time McKinley was uttering the words that a democratic statesman finds so inspired the democratic party was engaged in a campaign of bitter attack on the tariff and on its socialled progeny that finally stampeded the country. We may now wonder what it was all about. A protective tariff and even combinations and trusts and big business are in high favor in circles where formerly there was nothing but condemnation for them. What a fool's paradise we should have been in, the war fortunately has prevented us from learning; but it is time for us to take the McKinley vision as a guide to develop the plans of conquest laid down twenty years ago by our local experts ad also to take a leaf from German experience as to the value of combinations and tariffs at home as the fundamental method for the conquest of the world's markets at large. NOT PARTY POLITICS "I am surprised to read in the despatches from Maine that William M. Ingraham, assistant secretary of war, claims that the democrats are to be credited with giving the country the best army bill that has ever been passed." "We republicans" said Representative Julius Kahn, of California, ranking minority member of the house committee on military affairs, "have always contended that the national defense is not a matter of party poli- RECORD BREAKING SPEEDER PAYS VISIT TO ANAHEIM F. L. Moon Says Santa Ana Jail Comfortable, but has had Enough of it F. L. Moon, the San Diego millionaire and society man, who completed a ten day sentence in the Orange county jail Tuesday for driving his auto on the boulevard south of Santa Ana at a rate of sixty miles an hour, passed through Anaheim Thursday and stopped fifteen minutes for refreshments. He was accompanied by his wife and baby. The baby he says, was the cause of his driving at such a terrific pace, as he had received word that it was ill. Mr. Moon regards his incarceration in the bastile as something of a joke, but says he does not care to repeat the experience. "Never again for me," he declared while talking about the matter. "I frequently pass through Orange county in my machine, but thereafter I shall arrange my schedule so that when I reach the county line I can slow down and keep within the speed limits. I was treated courteously while in the jail and have no complaint to and entered the employ of the board companies. It is asserted by McPherri that when a charge of arson is brought, Keetch appears with the prosecution as special counsel, and Hindman fights the civil suit for judgment on the policies, a plan that McPherri declares that an atmosphere of against the middle, the combination playing to bring the prosecution in ahead of the trial of the civil action. Because of the activities of the board companies' campaigners, McPherri declares that an atmosphere of suspicion has been aroused in Los Angeles whereby he does not believe it possible for his client to have a fair trial. The court postponed his decision for a week, but declared that he would probably deny the appeal for change of venue. GERMANY'S USE OF THE TARIFF That the vision of President McKinley as to the possible broadening of our markets through reciprocity in international commerce, thereby securing an entrance into countries then still closed to us by reasons of financial, fiscal and national barriers, should be referred to enthusiastically by the Secretary of Commerce is indeed a sign of the times. Mr. Redfield's letter published recently was worth reading for many reasons. It presented in a striking fashion the developments and the opportunities brought by the war. But when McKinley anticipated them to an extent he hardly evoked the enthusiasm he deserved. One party was fearful lest the policy of protection be in some way endangered, and the other condemned that policy in general, and the McKinley tariff in particular as the mother of trusts. Yet McKinley did have a vision, and "We republicans" said Representative Julius Kahn, of California, ranking minority member of the house committee on military affairs, "have always contended that the national defense is not a matter of party politics. Every patriotic citizen is equally interested in seeing his country properly prepared regardless of political affiliations. "As a matter of fact many of the provisions of the preparedness law of June 3rd, 1916, were written into the measure by republicans. This is especially true of such provisions as those providing for an enlisted reserve corps, for an increased medical corps, for training camps for civilians, for short term enlistments, for the manufacture of tools and gauges in times of peace so that the supply of ammunition can materially be increased in times of war, for the creation of the grade of Aviator which will enable civilians to be commissioned in the aviation section, and numerous other provisions. "So far as the increased strength of the army is concerned a democratic house refused to authorize anything in excess of 140,000 enlisted men, minimum strength of the regular army. The republicans constantly insisted on a larger regular army and finally succeeded in raising the strength to a minimum of 178,000 men. The republicans claim no special praise for having voted for these splendid features. They only did their duty to their country and they resent the attempt of democratic officials to claim credit for the legislation as a democratic partisan measure."

Several important changes have taken place in the personnel of the Pacific-Alaska Steamship Co. through the extension of its territory of operations and important additions to its fleet have already been made and are under negotiation. Principal among these personal changes is the advancement of R. J. Ringwood, who has within the last month, received two important promotions. The first was his advancement to the position of general manager of the company and the second came on September 1, when he was again advanced from the position of general manager of the company to vice president. He has been connected with the Company from its first organization and has handled the greater portion of its traffic problems during the twelve years of the company's operations on the Pacific coast. His zone of duty as vice president will still cover the company's traffic operations. His appointment as vice president takes effect tomorrow, when he will be succeeded as general manager by A. S. Haines. In taking over the Yale and Harvard the Alaska-Pacific Steamship company will continue to maintain the splendid efficiency of its service, making no change in the present schedule, but establishing a new system whereby the price of passage will include meals and berth, as well as transportation.
