STORE COURT MARTIAL PROBE PROVIDED BY JOHNSON Soldier Congressman Introduced Bill to Change Entire Present System of Justice in Army. Sweeping investigation of the system of Courts-martial which has been practiced during the war against the German autocracy is provided in a resolution introduced in the House of Representative Royal Johnson, of South Dakota, who enlisted as a private and won the rank of first lieutenant and the distinguished service medal. Johnson has prepared statistics to show the colossal injustice done the private soldier during the conflict. Four hundred thousand of them have been court-marshaled. This he considers more appalling in view of the fact that the largest number of men enlisted just before the armistice last November was 3,760,000, but the biggest number of those in the service long enough to have come thoroughly under its discipline amounted to about 2,000,000. The Board of Clemency, which was appointed in the face of public clamor, as the result of the revelations, has already recommended 20,000 cases for reduced sentences. Of all the cases examined by the Board ninety-six per cent have been found to carry excessive and unjust sentences. As an example of this Representative Johnson says that in one case a man was fined three days pay for wilful murder, while another man was given twenty year for absence without leave. In other cases sentences were forwarded to the commanding officer by the courts-martial and were returned by that officer with the curt instruction that they were not sufficiently severe." In no court of justice would such a procedure be countenanced for a moment," said Johnson. In a case just published by the War Department orders a second lieutenant obtained $100 under false pretences and absented himself without leave was given Miss Margaret Walker, in whose honor several pre-nuptial parties have recently been held, was married Sunday at her home in this city, the groom being J. K. Langdon. Rev. J. F. Humphrey of the M. E. church performed the ceremony. The newly-wedded pair left immediately for a short honeymoon trip, and will later go east on a tour of several months. SPIRITUALIST Can and do do the so-called dead return and communicate? Lecture W. Q. Sayers. Messages, Rev. Minnie Sayers. Pastor and Assistant Pastor Spiritualist Church of Revelation, Los Angeles will be at Fisher's Hall June 13th, at 7:45 p.m. All are welcome. A picnic party consisting of M. F. Andrade and family, Charley Stone and familp, Romy Stone and family, Paul Ortega and family and George Johnson and family spent Sunday at Santiago Canyon. The dinner was prepared in barbecue fashion, and the day spent in an enjoyable manner. P. H. Krick has added another cow to his herd of blooded Holsteins. He purchased her at the McAllister sale at Chino recently, paying $1750. She is a descendant of King of the Pontiacs, the world's greatest Holstein. She is five years old. Her first calf sold for $1050 and the second one for $1450. Mr. Krick now has twenty-five blooded Holsteins. P. H. Kroeger, representing the United States Aerial Transportation Company, was in town the first of the week in the interest of his company, Mr. Kroeger was to have met with the board of trade Monday night but wired that he was unavoidably detained elsewhere. This company, with a capitalization of $1,000,000, proposes to establish regular lines of airship service, carrying passengers, express, freight and mail. It is desirous of having a terminal or landing place... given twenty year for absence without leave. In other cases sentences were forwarded to the commanding officer by the courts-martial and were returned by that officer with the curt instruction that they were not sufficiently severe." In no court of justice would such a procedure be countenanced for a moment," said Johnson. In a case just published by the War Department orders a second lieutenant obtained $100 under false pretences and absenting himself without leave, was given a sentence of twenty-five years in In explanation of the unheard of number of courts-martial, members of Congress point out Secretary Baker's statement that there is nothing wrong with the system of dispensing justice in the army, and his backing up the Prussian ideas of many offices in the regular army. It is understood that Colonel Ansell is to be assigned to service from Washington and the seat of his reforming activities, Just as General Leonard Wood was at the beginning of the war removed to Charleston, S. C., from New York, where he had been commander of the Department of the East, and prevented from crossing to France where, while on an inspection tour, he was the only general officer wounded in action. Both the Methdist and Presbyterian churches held Children's Day exercises Sunday. M. C. Goff and family and William Locke and family were visitors at Laguna Beach Sunday. Louie Kroeger and Al Nowotny, accompanied by their families spent Sunday at Venice. P. H. Kroeger, representing the United States Aerial Transportation Company, was in town the first of the week in the interest of his company. Mr. Kroeger was to have met with the board of trade Monday night but wired that he was unavoidably detained elsewhere. This company, with a capitalization of $1,000,000, proposes to establish regular lines of airship service, carrying passengers, express, freight and mail. It is desirous of having a terminal or landing place at Anaheim, and for this purpose requires a site 25 or 30 acres in extent. In order to help pay its investment here, and create a larger local interest, the company wants to sell $25,000 worth of stock to Anaheim citizens. The Santa Ana chamber of commerce at the last meeting endorsed the proposal. The officials and employees of Orange county held a hilarious picnic at the county park Saturday and according to reports it was one of the most enjoyable affairs ever pulled off in the park. There were many valuable prizes awarded in the various contests of skill, strength and agility, and we are pleased to note that the northern end of the county held its own—Supervisor Bill Schumacher won the pie eating contest. The directors of Santa Ana Valey Irrigation company went up the river to the Durkee ranch Tuesday on a tour of inspection. They were accompanied by Secretary Wallop and Assistant Secretary Parrot. The visitors were hospitably entertained at the ranch, being treated to a chicken dinner. Local Notes The sale is reported of forty acres known as the Harris tract in the Placentia district, 25 acres set to Valencias and 15 acres cavant land, to H. L. Seares of Anaheim, and Hartwell Bradford of Placentia; consideration, $75,000. Herman Stern and E. Borchert of Anaheim have purchased from C. N. Gill on West Ball road twenty acres set to 3-year old oranges. Capt. John C. More, superintendent of construction of the state highway commission, is in the California hospital at Los Angeles with several broken ribs and other injuries as a result of an accident on the La Habra boulevard at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Captain More and W. W. Patch, an engineer of the highway department, were driving in an auto and as they neared the Pacific Electric crossing about a half mile southeast of the Ashley crossing an electric car came whizing along. A crash seemed impossible to avoid, and the captain, who was driving, jumped and was quite badly injured. Patch stayed with the machine, and while he got a shaking up he will need no repairing. The captain was removed to the hospital in Los Angeles in Angus McAulay's ambulance. Somebody borrowed the radiator from a Ford car belonging to the Palace Meat Market Saturday night, while the car was standing in the rear of the store. Mr. Healton wishes us to state that if the fellow will kindly return the apparatus as soon as he is done with it, no charges will be made for the use of it. City health officer Truxaw reports three cases of scarlet fever in town, but none of them serious. One case Dittorio Augustini is a Bolshevik, says the Tribune. He says so himself. This representative of the reds was pulled off of a Santa Fe train by Officer Joe Murillo Thursday for attempting to and actually riding without so much as offering to pay a fare. The officer took this trouble-breeder before City Recorder French, and to the magistrate the prisoner said he was a Bolshevik, was proud of it and didn't care who knew it. He said he worked 27 months in Utah at $3.50 and $4 a day and then quit and came to Los Angeles, where he refused to work and spent the whole wad. Twice he was sent up for 30 days in that city for refusing to work, and was headed for new fields when he was nipped by the officer. Recorder French sent him to the county jail for 30 days, and he is right there now. Fred Backs is in Eureka this week attending the state convention of the Knights of Columbus. James McFadden, one of the pioneers of Orange county, died at Altadena Monday morning at the age of 86. Mr. McFadden came to California from New York state in 1864, and located in Santa Ana in 1868. He took an active part in public affairs and engineered the act through the legislature authorizing the organization of this county.

Lake, who has been visiting friends in Iowa, returned home Friday accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Heying. Loule Bushard was able to sit up yesterday, following a serious illness of two weeks, during which time he was detained at home. His condition is improving, and he will probably be out again shortly.

Mr. Healton wishes us to state that if the fellow will kindly return the apparatus as soon as he is done with it, no charges will be made for the use of it. City health officer Truxaw reports three cases of scarlet fever in town, but none of them serious. One case is at the home of Frank Montenyahl on South Philadelphia, one at home of H. Simon on South Olive, and the other at the Nevins home on South street. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Montenyahl has been ill for a week past with scarlet fever, but is now improving. Frank found the house quarantined and was denied admittance when he went home one night, and is making his home elsewhere. Mrs. Montenyahl was making preparations to go east on a visit when the baby was suddenly taken ill. Another action involving accusations by one faction of the well known Des Granges family of Fullerton against the other has been brought. Virginia Fortney, Harriet P. Wells and Gertrude M. Hunter are plaintiffs and John C. Des Granges is defendant. The action alleges that when his mother was alive John got her to sign a deed to a valuable fifteen acres at Fullerton under which the rights of others were shut out. The court is asked to make a determination of title. Gerald Whitaker arrived at home from France Friday afternoon. He was in Mobile Operating Unit No. 1, being stationed at Paris during his service in France. He was in gay Paree on November 11, when that city went insane over the signing of the armistice. Rev. J. F. Humphrey has purchased a five acre grove of young Valencias in the Golden State tract, and will devote his time to growing oranges when he retires from the ministry.

Shoulders are to be built on the state highway south from Irvine-at the earliest possible moment after July 1. This is the statement of C. A. Whitmore of Visalia, member of the State Highway Commission. "The question of the construction of shoulders on the state highway below Irvine was discussed at a meeting of the State Highway Commission less than two weeks ago," said Commissioner Whitmore, "and it was decided then to proceed at once, with the opening of the new fiscal year, with the construction of the shoulders. "This work would have been done long ago had not the non-construction order of the government and lack of funds interfered. Our expectation to be able to go to work at once upon the shoulders on the state highway here is based upon our belief that the $40,000,000 bond issue will be approved by the voters of the state. Should that bond issue fail, we might have to make some adjustment in our plans for our expenditures for the next year." Mrs. E. J. Hartung entertained the Wednesday afternoon club at her home on the eastside last week. The afternoon was spent in card playing, Mrs. Joseph Carroll being winner of the prize. Luncheon was served by the hostess at five o'clock to the following guests: Mesdames Percy Bradford, T. F. Mongan, Wm. Locke, M. C. Goff, Leo Sheridan, G. Dunsmoor, Roger Dutton, Jos. Carroll, Misses Lillian Bennerscheldt, Hazel Lacey and Frieda Janss. Members of the Four-Four Club were entertained Thursday evening by Mr. and Mrs. R. J. McFadden. The host and hostess escorted their guests to the Blue Bird restaurant where supper was served at 7:30 o'clock, after which all returned to the McFadden home where the evening was spent in card playing. Mrs. H. M. Adams and Mrs. Fred Zeppenfeld were the prize winners. Charley McAulay spent Decoration Day in New York during one of his short periods on land, and before sailing for Europe again wrote a letter home. During shore leave at Brest Rev. J. F. Humphrey has purchased a five acre grove of young Valencias in the Golden State tract, and will devote his time to growing oranges when he retires from the ministry. A crowd of merry young folks motored up to Orange County Park immediately after school Friday. Games and boating were the afternoon's diversions. Later in the evening a weiner bake was enjoyed by all. Those present were: Marsella Meckes, Virginia Callaway, Margaret Dauser, Ruth Kahly, Laura Schutz, Bessie Renner, Frances Wallace, Gertrude Gregg, Edwin Westerman, Laurence Mills, Erwin Maas, Clinton Gregg, Wilmer Troutman, Charles Schutz, Fred Clodd, Clifford Elliott, Floyd Everett and the chaperons, Mrs. Schutz, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. B. Dauser. Dr. W. W. Adams and J. L. Sheppard returned on Sunday evening from an automobile trip to Guaymas and Hermosillo, having been gone a month. Near Guaymas they saw two Mexicans hanging and at another point they saw a Mexican being led away with a rope around his neck. The Mexican law requires that when a man is hanged his body must not be cut down before three days, as a warning to other malefactors. They went as far south as the Sinaloa line inspecting mines and returned without mishap. Mrs. Carl Martin entertained at her home on the Garden Grove road Sunday evening in honor of her son, Alfred Bittner, who recently returned from France. “This work would have been done long ago had not the non-construction order of the government and lack of funds interfered. Our expectation to be able to go to work at once upon the shoulders on the state highway here is based upon our belief that the $40,000,000 bond issue will be approved by the voters of the state. Should that bond issue fail, we might have to make some adjustment in our plans for our expenditures for the next year. “We have every reason to believe that the $40,000,000 will be voted. We have reports from all over the state, and everywhere the bonds are looked upon with favor. I can see no reason why they should not carry with a big margin.” The shoulders that have been decided upon for the highway below Irvine will consist of a strip eighteen inches wide upon each side of the present paving. This strip is to be of concrete six inches deep. That will give a pavement twenty-one feet in width. “Construction prices have gone up enormously,” said Whitmore. “These two strips will probably cost more than the original slab of concrete for this same highway.” B. C. Baxter has so many friends in Placentia, according to the Courier, that he has decided to turn his ranch over to a manager and move into town. By so doing he will save much time, to say nothing of auto tires and gasoline. He has purchased the Boisserie house at the corner of Bradford and Center, but will not occupy it for some time, as he expects to spend most of the summer at the beaches. Charley McAulay spent Decoration Day in New York during one of his short periods on land, and before sailing for Europe again wrote a letter home. During shore leave at Brest recently, he writes, he ran into Corporal Earl Steadman, who was encamped at the French port awaiting orders to sail for home. Mrs. John Sharkey of Portland, Ore., accompanied by her little son, Jack, is a guest of her brother, B. J. Dresser, and will remain for a visit during the summer. Mrs. Sharkey was formerly Miss Annie Dresser of this city, and has many friends here about who are glad to have the pleasure of meeting her again. Robert Wilson arrived some days ago from Minneapolis, Minn., accompanied by his wife and family, and is the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wilson of this city. He is a printer by trade, and has occupied a number of responsible positions in Minnesota and elsewhere. He was foreman of a large job printing establishment in Minneapolis which employed more than one hundred men. He will probably locate in Los Angeles and follow his trade in that city.

It is a week set apart in recognition of a movement that has done a wonderful work among the boys of the country and in recognition of the effective work done during the war by Boy Scouts. The Boy Scout organization is primarily one of service to others. It supplements the work of other civic organizations. If there is a piece of work to be carried out, the boy scout helps; if there is to be a parade, the boy scouts usually act as ushers or orderlies in policing lines. The organization has many fine stunts that doubtless would appeal to the public if they were made a part of great demonstrations, but scout leaders, thinking first of service, submerge these theatrical qualities of their movement and put the scouts to work where they can be of real assistance. From the time that the scout takes the oath "to help other people at all times" he must keep that oath inviolate. He further is pledged to "do a good turn daily." The carrying out of these two promises is not always easy or convenient, and in most cases means real work. By honestly keeping these pledges, however, the boy scout not only becomes a distinct asset to the whole public as a boy, but he builds within himself the finest foundation for good citizenship imaginable. Boy scouts grow up to be sturdy, clean men, meanwhile coming near to filling that designation of a gentleman, "someone who always thinks of others." Intensive study of the boy problem by leaders of the Boy Scout Movement has determined how much work and how much play is good for Jack; also has shown how to make boy-work so attractive that it will seem like play. The result is all for good citizenship. It is a safe prediction that the boys...

Friday the papers in the slander suit brought by Mrs. Agnes Maganety of Long Beach, formerly Placentia, against J. N. Kint of Long Beach, administrator of the estate of Hayes Maganety, were transferred from Los Angeles county to this county. A few weeks ago Kint won a fight against Mrs. Maganety for the control of her husband's estate. It is alleged that at that time Kint made remarks to N. Frank Morse of Placentia attacking Mrs. Maganety's character.
