The three defendants were seated on a bench near Justice Cox and appeared to be keenly interested in the proceedings. They frequently conversed between themselves in the sign language, using their fingers with lightning-like rapidity. Chief of Police James Patrick of San Diego, who understands the sign language used by the deaf mutes, acted as interpreter. At the request of Justice Cox, Patrick informed the three defendants collectively of their rights and the trio told Patrick that they were represented by counsel, Guy Eddie. George Ahlefeld, owner of the stolen car, was the first witness called. He said that the car disappeared from in front of the Temple theater on the night of January 12., while his nephew Arthur Ahlefeld, and his wife, Ethel, were attending the show. The witness described the car as a Buick touring car, gave the license number and stated that he did not see the car from the time it was stolen until the time it was returned from San Diego by his nephew who drove it back from there after the police of that city had notified him that the car had been found. Chief of Police Patrick was then called to the stand and told of conversing with the three defendants following their arrest in San Diego. Patrick said that the man named Fleming told him that Harold Cliff drove the car to San Diego from Santa Ana and that Thompson was also in the party. The car, according to Patrick was found behind a billboard. Arthur Ahlefeld, nephew of the owner of the car, and his wife both were called and corroborated the testimony given by George Ahlefeld. They added that they recovered the car and drove it back to this city. None of the defendants was called to the stand. Their attorney, Guy Eddie, sought to have the charge of grand larceny modified. He wanted to have the trio accused of joy-riding, with the intention of returning the car which they "commandeered." Justice Cox refused to alter the charge and held each defendant to the Superior court with bail fixed at $500 each.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim NEW TAXATION PLANS Two distinct plans for reorganization of the State Government have been placed before the State Legislature. The Administration plan proposed by the Governor, is set up in eight bills. The thorough and complete plan proposed by the Tax Payers' Association of California is embraced in a single bill. The following outline of its bill has been presented by Tax Payers' Association of California. The importance of the matter merits a careful reading. The Association's statement is as follows: Tax Payer's Association of California believes that there is an earnest desire on the part of the Legislature to consider and act upon a thorough rather than a partial plan of reorganization affecting the executive branch of the State Government. The plan prepared by this Association is intended to be thorough and very complete. None of the humanitarian, custodial, constructive or developmental works of the state are interfered with in any degree whatsoever. These works can be more efficiently rather than less efficiently performed under a business-like and practically constructed executive government. The elected state officers, the railroad commission, the industrial accident commission, the prison directors officers, boards, bureaus and commissions are, however, abolished and the duties they performed are transferred to departments which are constructed to produce the results the people desire, both in the matter of efficiency and economy. Under the proposed new plan the Governor will appoint the heads of departments except the department of Education (which is under the Super- State. 13. Department of Agriculture, to continue as at present, but to take over the work of the State Market Commissioner and the Superintendent of Weights and Measures. Ample provision is made for harmonizing the work of various departments and preventing duplications. The Governor is to submit the budget. All departmental receipts are to go into the general fund of the State. All support is to be by appropriation based on the budget. The following officers, boards, commissions, departments and employees of the state: are hereby abolished Motor Vehicle Department and superintendent thereof, Board of Control and Department of Public Accounting, tate Purchasing Agent, Superintendent of State Printing, Civil Service Commission, Corporation Commission, Building and Loan Commissioner, Insurance Commissioner, Real Estate Commissioner, State Banking Department and its attorney, and the Superintendent of State Banking, Board of Accountancy, Board of Architecture, State Market Commission and the Bureau of Correspondence and Fish Exchange Department thereof, Superintendent of Weights and Measures, and State Board of Harbor Commissioners and its attorney, Board of Harbor Commissioners of Humboldt Bay and Bar, Bar and its attorney and the Harbor Master of Eureka Board of Harbor Commissioners of San Jose and its attorney, Board of Pilot Commissioners for the Harbor of San Diego, Board of Pilot Commissioners of the Humboft Bay and Bar, Board of Pilot Commissioners for the ports of San Francisco, Mare Island and Benicia and all its employees, the Port Wardens of San Francisco and San Diego, Bureau of Labor Statistics and Commissioner of Labo. Industrial Wel- TIN WEDDING CELEBRATION A delightful surprise party was given at the beautiful home of Professor and Mrs. Raymond A. Evans of Fullerton, the occasion being the tenth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. The spacious drawing-room was elaborately decorated in green and gold with a wedding bell under which the bride and groom of ten years oga stood while they were showered with beautiful gifts. Not forgetful of the ancient custom, each swain present claimed the right to kiss the bride. Not to be outdone, the groom staged a gallant comback exacting the same toll from each of the fair ones present with an amazing degree of success as a collector. An address appropriate for the occasion and sparkling with wit and humor, delivered by Dr. Guy Kay of Placentia followed by a program of readings, original poems and vocal and instrumental selections must prominate of which was a poem composed especially for the occasion by Mrs. H. C. Barr, mother of the groom entitled, "Reminiscence of Ten Years Ago." Dear Maisle, will you share my life And be my own devoted wife? I haven't very much to offer But what I have I gladly proffer And with it all my heart's devotion As deep and full as is the ocean Just give in turn your loving heart And say we never more shall part; And Maisle bashfully replied, Yes Harold. I will be your bride. For, tho I didn't mean to do it, I loved you long before you knew it, And since you've told your love for me I'll not conceal my love for thee. And so these ardent, happy lovers Plighted their vows like many others elected state officers, the Railroad commission, the Industrial accident commission, the prison directors officers, boards, bureaus and commissions are, however, abolished and the duties they performed are transferred to departments which are constructed to produce the results the people desire, both in the matter of efficiency and economy. Under the proposed new plan the Governor will appoint the heads of departments except the department of Education (which is under the Superintendent of Public Instruction) and the department of State, which is merely set up to permit the transfer of motor vehicle license fees back to the office of Secretary of State. An advisory board of education in the department of Education, and an advisory board on minimum wages in the department of Labor, which department is under the direction of the chairman of the Industrial Accident Commission, are the only two boards set up in the bill. The appointment of division chiefs in the several departments is left to the directors of such department. The line of responsibility is thus clearly drawn. The heads of departments would be expected, of course, to be the Governor's advisors and the members of an informal cabinet. The bill provides for modern budgetary procedure and correct principles of financial management. In operation, it should easily save to the State at least $1,500,000.00 annually. The departments established in this measure are as follows: 1. Finance with three divisions. This department will handle all budget, accounting and financial matters together with all purchases and supplies and the direction of Civil Service employees. 2. Department of Labor, under the direction of the Industrial Accident Commission, which will have the enforcement of all labor laws. 3. Department of harbors, which will have the management of the state harbor at San Francisco and perform all other harbor functions now exercised by the state, together with the functions of existing pilot commissions and port wardens, etc. 4. Department of Health with three divisions, to exercise all health, food and drug and housing functions and to enforce the professional practice acts relating to health. 5. Department of Welfare, to exercise all charitable and welfare functions and the functions of the present board of Charities and Corrections. 4.

FUNNY THINGS SEEN IN EASTERN PAPERS Florida Editor Tells His Readers of California Earthquakes and Snowstorms This office has just received a letter from P. R. Donahoe, formerly of Anaheim, but who now lives in Pittsburg. Mr. and Mrs. Donahoe are spending the winter at St. Petersburg, Florida and being familiar with Southern California he was considerably amused at the following clipping which he found in a St.-Petersburg paper: "The 25,000 or 30,000 winter visitors who had one of the greatest days of their lives last Sunday revelling in the warm sunshine and the clean, balmy tropic air doubtless will be interested in knowing that last Sunday was a mighty, mighty winterish day in Los Angeles the pick of the tourists spots on the Pacific coast. Snow fell, plenty of snow, according to dispatches from there, though how dispatches eluded the censorship is a wonder, for reports of snows and "Gas Bombs" For destroying gophers; squirrels Simply place a "Gas Bomb" in burrow and ignite.

Here is the dispatch that was printed in the New York Times; "Los Angeles, Jan. 22—Snow fell in the Hollywood and Elysian Park sections of Los Angeles today for the first time in several years. The tops of street cars returning to the downtown districts from Hollywood were white with it.

"Los Angeles, Jan. 22—Snow fell in the Hollywood and Elysian Park sections of Los Angeles today for the first time in several years. The tops of street cars returning to the downtown districts from Hollywood were white with it. Snow fell also in Long Beach for the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitants." The last "violence" before this in the city of Los Angeles was a playful earthquake that shook the insides out of a few hundred houses and also other buildings. The versatile Anglecans (seriously this is what they call themselves if they live there) bravely tried to turn the disaster aside by declaring that the quake opened a few choice oil wells almost in the heart of the city. Dispatches fall to state if the snow storm opened any oil wells or disclosed any gold mines. It is true that snow fell in some of the foothill towns during a heavy storm a couple of weeks ago but the natives instead of trying to hide it, are bragging about the novel experiences. It was snowing to beat the band in the mountain tops and the fall was so heavy that some of the flakes reached the lower levels before melting. As for the earthquake, this reminds us of the letter recently received here from a lady way back who wanted to know if there was any official record of her husband being killed in the great earthquake that devastated Southern California last August. California happenings appear to be considerably distorted when they reach the effete East. The Bible has been translated into the national language of the Chinese in a form said to be the most nearly perfect literary production in the Chinese republic.
