DEMAND LOYALTY OF ALL SCHOOL TEACHERS MARK KEPPEL TELLS COUNTY DISTRICT TRUSTEES THAT NEUTRALS SHOULD BE DISCHARGED R. P. MITCHELL UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED FOR RE-ELECTION AS COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT "If at the present time there is any one teaching in the public schools who is neutral or disloyal, that teacher should be kicked out immediately and ignominiously. A neutral or a disloyal teacher has no peg to stand on in our school law. Section 1702 gives full authority to school trustees to dispose of any neutral or disloyal teacher." These words were spoken Wednesday by Mark Keppel, superintendent of schools of Los Angeles county, at the annual convention of school trustees of Orange county. Keppel's address was confined largely to a discussion of the proposed initiative measure, signatures for which are now being secured by school teachers. He said that the passage of the proposed law is advisable for the good of the schools. The regulation proposed is a measure adjustable to the needs of the school, and it takes school finances out of possible political entanglements. Superintendent Mitchell directed the attention of school trustees to the issled with the new Imhoff tank, as they aver a half dozen of them wouldn't abate the alleged nuisance. That it is doubtful that Rate Collector Wallace will move downstairs to do his collecting from the first to the sixth of each month, because the ordinance provides that moneys are to be paid him in Room 5, upstairs. However, the ordinance may be amended. That the new police force in their new olive drab uniforms are a fine looking body of men, and are the cynosure of all observers. That it would be well for the good of the order to have autos slowed down when coming into town, especially at the busy business street intersections. That the business block on Center, between Los Angeles and Lemon, would look a whole lot better if all buildings were moved back. One jeweler in the block complains that his business is hampered by the projection to the east of him. That there are many stray dogs running around. That the saloonists have their eyes on several regulars who never seem to know when to quit. That the dirt roads are becoming much cut up and dusty, owing to a lack of oil, but don't blame the new street superintendent. Last year about one carload of oil was used on city streets, the year before that about ten carloads were used. Road oil now costs about $2 a barrel, and the government needs it. It's too costly for street improvements. What the city is going to do about it remains to be seen. Should a large quantity of crushed rock be available perhaps a macadam preparation might be made to surface these dusty highways, or perhaps they may be paved, but that would cost about 20 cents a square foot.

In accorda Keppel's address was confined largely to a discussion of the proposed initiative measure, signatures for which are now being secured by school teachers. He said that the passage of the proposed law is advisable for the good of the schools. The regulation proposed is a measure adjustable to the needs of the school, and it takes school finances out of possible political entanglements. Superintendent Mitchell directed the attention of school trustees to the law relative to the employment of teachers. If a teacher is to be dismissed there must be a notification in writing by the clerk of the board. After June 1, teachers can be legally employed for the next term. Mitchell said that he favored giving teachers one holiday each year that they may visit other schools. He said that visiting gives teachers an insight into other teacher's methods that oftentimes adds to the teachers' efficiency. Care in the purchasing of supplies was urged. The school trustees' convention declared itself in favor of the candidacy of R. P. Mitchell for reelection as school superintendent. Dr. Huff of Huntington Beach said that he believed that the school trustees ought to express themselves one way or the other. He knew that if the trustees did not want Mitchell to run again, he would step down and out. Dr. Huff said that he had found the present superintendent's work very satisfactory, and he for one wanted to see him retained. A motion to endorse Mitchell met with an unanimous vote, every person in the room rising at the aye vote. The trustees also favored a substantial increase in the salaries of teachers owing to the heavy increase in expenses, and the supervisors will probably be asked to raise the tax levy in some districts in order to permit the boards to meet this. THEY SAY— That many school teachers here are vexed over the action of the school board in not raising their salaries, and one hears that perhaps some of them will resign. Maybe the school board didn't have the money. One of the janitors is also dissatisfied with his present salary, saying that even though he practices frugality he finds his wages all gone by the ten carloads were used. Road oil now costs about $2 a barrel, and the government needs it. It's too costly for street improvements. What the city is going to do about it remains to be seen. Should a large quantity of crushed rock be available perhaps a macadam preparation might be made to surface these dusty highways, or perhaps they may be paved, but that would cost about 20 cents a square foot. That the street superinfident has his eye on the garbage collector and should the latter fall to live up to his contract the trustees will take a hand. That the city employees are truly grateful for the raise in their salaries, but that there are others who are holding out their cash registers. That there is a shortage in the fall crop of candidates, very few having come out in the open to receive the once over. But the season is a bit early and the political pot has just commenced to simmer. As the date of the August primaries draws nearer perhaps there will be additional announcements to those already made, and the game will be on. That an outside man has his eye on one of the downtown storerooms with a view of fitting it up as a moving picture enterprise. That the improvised ambulance erected on Center street, near Los Angeles, is a work of art, the pictures of bursting shells and bombs on the blue skyline overhead also being realistic. Fred Gresswell was the artist and is being complimented. The work was arranged to help boost the Red Cross drive. NEW CITIZENS King George lost sixteen subjects Monday morning when four natives of Canada and one native of England were granted final papers of naturalization. The class was examined in Judge Thomas' courtroom, and the five men were successful in passing the examination showing their knowledge of American institutions. The five men who were naturalized were William F. Schimming, Anaheim R. D. 1, aged 41; Alfred H. M. Theal, 2525 Santiago street; Austen E. Clark, Santa Ana R. D. 7, aged 28; Gustave C. L.

In accordance with the custom of We are organized, comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose, among other things of "preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers, sailors, and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade between our country and its foes? Their soldier lives were the revelile of freedom to a race in chains and their death a tattoo of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed ground. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going to reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided Republic. If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, our shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain to us. Let us then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with the choicest flowers of springtime. Let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor. Let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the Nation's gratitude—the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan. 2.

Crowther Following is a copy of the first general order establishing memorial day: General Orders No. 4. 1. In accordance with the custom of the Grand Army of the Republic, Thursday, May 30, will be observed as Memorial Day. The approach of another Memorial Day finds us in the shadow of a great war. Let our observance of the day be such as to evidence our unswerving and unfailing devotion to our country. The mightiest military power the world has ever known has compelled us to draw the sword for maintenance of our national honor and the defense of free government. Today not only are our sons and our grandsons emulating the deeds of their sires, in upholding the honor of the old Flag, but our hearts are gladened by the fruition of the hope of Lincoln, and the sons and the grandsons of the followers of Lee are marching shoulder to shoulder with the son and the grandsons of the followers of Grant, under the Stars and Stripes, and all are offering their lives in the service of a united country. We thus have renewed assurance that "our honored dead did not 'die in vain.'" As we strew flowers on the graves of our fallen comrades, let us also strew flowers on the graves of the Confederate dead who sleep in our cemeteries—not in forgetfulness of the past, but in recognition of this realization of the hope that nerved our arms in the dark days of fratricidal strife. "No more shall the war cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever When they laurel the graves of our dead; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray." Time has wrought the fulfillment of Lincoln's prophetic words in the closing paragraph of his first inaugural address: At last "the mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and heartstone all over this broad land." **** "touched," **** 2. It is the purpose of the Commander-in-Chief to inaugurate this observance with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year while a survivor of the war remains to honor the memory of his departed comrades. He earnestly desires the public press to call attention to this order and lend its friendly aid in bringing it to the notice of comrades in all parts of the country in time for simultaneous compliance therewith. 3. Department commanders will use every effort to make this order effective. By command of JOHN A. LOGAN, Commander-in-Chief N. P. CHIPMAN, Adjutant General.

The city officers at Highland signaled him to halt, but he paid no attention to them, they declare, and they were forced to jump aside to avoid being run down.

The following is a copy of Past Commander-in-Chief Logan's Memorial Day Order. Headquarters Grand Army of the Republic Washington, D. C., May 5, 1868 General Orders, No. 11. 1. The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and those bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land. In this observance no form or ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit. The city officers at Highland signaled him to halt, but he paid no attention to them, they declare, and they were forced to jump aside to avoid being run down. Wright ran into the Santa Ana company, knocking down Capt. Koepsel, deputy district attorney of this county, who had a leg injured and was badly bruised otherwise. First Lieutenant Elliott, who had his collar bone broken and was badly injured about the body, and Second Lieutenant Hayden, who was cut about the head. City Marshal Myers had just arrived at the review and had parked his motorcycle when the accident occurred. He made his way to Wright's machine and was forced to plead with the incensed soldiers to prevent Wright from being mobbed. He succeeded in getting his prisoner away and to the jail. The Fullerton band struck up a lively tune, which calmed the large gathering and the review by the county council of defense was soon brought to a close. The three victims were taken to the Fullerton hospital, where they were cared for. Sheriff Jackson later took the prisoner to the county jail.

Robert Rudnick, 3 years old, died Saturday. Martin, 5 years old, is recovering. The boys were suddenly stricken ill and a few hours later Robert died. A post mortem was reported to have disclosed that the child was poisoned. A post mortem examination on the body of Arthur Monday resulted in physicians stating that the cause of death could not be determined. The physicians stated, however, that death might have been caused by poison or by an extreme attack of dysentery. The dead children were buried in a grave together a few hours after Arthur's death. They were the sons of Rev. E. J. Rudnick, pastor of the Trinity Lutheran church of Santa Ana. Attending physicians stated that Martin would recover and that he would be able, within a short time to tell if he and his brothers had eaten anything which might have contained poison. It was first reported that the children might have been poisoned because their father had preached radical anti German sermons, standing firmly with the United States and pleading with his congregation to be equally as patriotic. A further investigation of the case will be made. FULLERTON-ANAHEIM BOUNDARY FIXED For war subscription purposes the boundary was fixed between Anaheim and Fullerton Tuesday by a committee consisting of H. M. Adams and Thomas Crawford for Anaheim, and T. L. McFadden and J. R. Carhart for Fullerton. Fullerton is to include all of the residences facing Orangethorpe avenue west of Placentia avenue; and Anaheim all of the residences facing on the cross roads south of Orangethorpe avenue. This is a very equitable arrangement and meets with satisfaction from all sides, so that residents and committee are well pleased and will find the work of soliciting and pledging more agreeable by reason of this arrangement. The Placentia-Anaheim boundary was made at Placentia avenue to the McClellan ranch and east along Anaheim road through the Golden State tract. The subscriptions in Anaheim Monday evening totalled $2,532.50. Tom McFadden of Placentia has been attacked by the enemy. He's chairman of the Fullerton Red Cross drive and has been devoting most of his time to the work, but last week he was overcome by German measles and was forced to retire from the trenches for a time.
