Store Fidel Espinosa, a Mexican, of Placentia, was lodged in the county jail charged with burglary, following his arrest Saturday morning by Joe Murillo and F. Johnson, special Santa Fe operatives. Espinosa is charged with having looted the section house of H. B. Scott, Santa Fe agent at Olinda, of clothing and other belongings valued at about $400, late Friday afternoon. Among the loot was a $100 Liberty bond. All the loot except a shotgun, which was sold to a second hand dealer, was found in Espinosa's house, according to Murillo and Johnson. Espinosa, who had been out of work, was immediately suspected following the looting according to the two arresting officers; for the reason that he appeared to be the only man who knew that Scott was to be absent from the house Friday afternoon. Last year's incumbents in the offices within the scope of appointment by the board of supervisors, were officially reappointed to the positions for the coming year, following the action of the board in making a blanket motion keeping them all in office. Those affected by the action of the board are: Charles Carrillo, courthouse interpreter; D. H. Patrick, courthouse janitor; J. E. Pleasants, inspector of apiaries; William Summerville, garbage custodian; Dr. A. H. Domann, county health officer; Walter Gregg, county aid commissioner; Dr. G. W. Closson, live stock inspector; Dr. H. E. Zalser, superintendent of county hospital and farm; F. W. Slaybaugh; county purchasing agent; W. E. Adkinson, fire and game warden; G. M. Benedict, courthouse gardener and J. B. Irwin, county park custodian. Announcement of new scales of wages for laborers and pruners has been made by the Valley Fruit Growers' Association. Ranch laborers and teamsters will receive $2.50 per day and board under the new scale, which is a reduction of fifty cents per day. Ranch laborers and teamsters, per month, $60 and board; scrapers men, $2.75 to $3; tractor men, $3.50 per day and board. The hourly rate scale is 50 cents per hour for Americans, 45 cents for Hindoos, Japanese and Mexicans. The enrollment of the Fullerton grammar school has increased 228 during the past year, according to figures compiled by Principal Marcey. The enrollment of the school at this time last year was 602 while the total number of pupils in the school now is 830. There are four more teachers on the grammar school staff this year than there was last term, which means that if the additional pupils were distributed among the new teachers each teacher would have a class of 57 pupils. It is expected that the completion of the new school now in course of construction on Richmond Avenue will do much to relieve the crowded situation. While all the rooms in the grammar school are not overcrowded at present, many of the teachers have larger classes than is practicable if the best work is desired.

M. Backs and applied for a license to wed, left next day for Los Angeles, feeling that he must have been the "green pea" of the local Gretna Green. Baumgartner left his machine standing near the city hall, and walked with his flancee to the courthouse where he took out a license. On his return he found that a brown suitcase and a black traveling bag, which he had left in the machine, had been taken by thieves. A curious angle of the theft is the fact that a boy's brown mackinaw coat was left in the car. City Marshal put officers to work on the case. No trace of the suitcase has been found. Baumgartner an dhis bride spent the first night of their honeymoon in Santa Ana. When they learned, however, that no trace of their bags, which contained clothing for their honeymoon trip, had as yet been discovered, they departed for Los Angeles, leaving their address in Bakersfield. "I guess I'm the 'green pea'" said Baumgartner, as he left, "but nothing can worry us today, not even the loss of our traveling bags."

Jake Schumacher, who left here with his bride three months ago on a honeymoon tour of the United States, SAILOR WHIPPED TWO KINGS Capt. John Johncox's Death at Vancouver, B.C., Recalls Unusual Incident. London, England.—The recent death in Vancouver, B.C., of Capt. John Johncox, once a well-known English yacht skipper, has recalled here the story of two encounters the skipper had with the late King Edward when he was prince of Wales. The German crown prince, afterward Emperor William, and the prince of Wales had disagreed and were settling the argument with fists on the sands at Cowes when Johncox separated them and stopped the fight. The crown prince was said to have been so enraged that he boarded his yacht and returned to Germany. On another occasion the prince of Wales playfully tripped up Johncox at dusk on the royal yacht squadron green, and the skipper used his fists freely against the future king. It was said Johncox failed to recognize the prince. Flyer With Summons Overhauls Fast Train Denver, Colo.—Harry G.

His injuries consist of a cut head, both wrists broken and three ribs fractured.

Morso No. 2 is the big Bankers are warning customers to beware of a new counterfeit $10 Federal Reserve note described by the Treasury of the United States; porter Federal Reserve Bank of New York; check letter "B;" face plate No. 497; D. F. Houston, Secretary of the Treasurer of the United States; portrait of Jackson. This counterfeit is made with photographic face and etched back, on fair quality of paper, without silk threads or imitation of them. The lathe work is poor, most of it appearing as solid color instead of the fine lines of the genuine. The face of the note has the gray tint of the photograph. The number of the notes so far seen is B-7824841b-A, and underneath the number in the lower left hand end of the note is an irregular blue line. This counterfeit will deceive those not accustomed to examine their money. Beginning February, 1, Orange county will receive three per cent for all money loaned by it to banks of Orange county. Hitherto the rate has been two per cent. At a meeting Thursday, County Auditor, W. C. Jerome, County Treasurer, J. C. Joplin and T. B. Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors, fixed the rate for the year. The reason the rate was raised is that the general commercial rate has been raised by business houses. The banks are permitted to borrow money from the county, when there is a surplus on hand. Approved bonds must be given as security. The money is at the call of the treasurer. It is for that reason partly that the rate has been low. By paying a higher rate the banks could borrow elsewhere for state terms, but because the county money cannot be had for definite periods the rate is lower. The rate fixed by the three county officials for this county is the rate that is being charged by most counties of Southern California. "At the present time," said County Auditor Jerome,"the county has $825,-000 loaned to Orange county banks I feel certain that the increase from two per cent to three per cent will not reduce the total of the loan a single dollar." A large party of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider gathered at their home Tuesday evening to celebrate Mrs. Schneider's birthday. They carried with them a useful present, which was presented to Mrs. Schneider after which an enjoyable evening was spent playing cards. Jake Schumacher, who left here with his bride three months ago on a honeymoon tour of the United States, writes that he is now visiting his brother Dave in New York. He and his wife will visit all the important cities and points of interest in the East and South before returning to Anaheim. Dave Schumacher, who served his country in France during the war, concluded to stay in New York on his return to America. Clark W. Scott of this city, and Miss Loretta Kolpfman of Phoenix, Arizona, were married at the Scott home on Alberta street Tuesday, Rev. Gelsinger of the M. E. church performing the ceremony. The young couple left on a honeymoon tour and will make their home here on their return. The groom is one of Anaheim's best known and most highly esteemed young men, and his many friends extend congratulations on good wishes. Assemblyman Hart announced Monday that pursuant to a request made by the grand jury of his county, he would soon offer a bill providing that one of the applicants for a marriage license must establish a residence in the county of application for thirty days prior to the date of issuance of the license. Hart's bill, he said, was to correct the existing practice of Los Angeles people, who go to Santa Ana and wed. He said many of these marriages were ill-considered or hasty and wound up in the divorce courts of Los Angeles, thereby bringing the officials concerned into disrepute.
