SO. CAL. EDISON CO. CUTS A MELON Dividend Distributed Among Stockholders in This District. Eight hundred and eighty-three stockholders in the Santa Ana district of the Southern California Edison company, which includes the important towns of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Laguna and Newport, receiver checks today for their first quarterly dividends for 1922 on the stock which they own. The total amount paid out by the Edison company in dividends for this quarter amounts to $621,003 was the statement made by District Manager W. L. Deimling today. The company has 20,789 consumer stockholders in its twenty-eight districts, in addition to approximately 4100 employee stockholders, bringing the total stockholders residing in the territory served by the company to 24,889. Only approximately 2000 stockholders in the company reside outside of the territory which it serves, which increases the total number of dividenda checks mailed to 26,889. In making this statement, District Manager Deimling quoted statistics on the stock selling activity of the company during the past year, from a communication received from Vice-President A. N. Kemp, in charge of finances, which indicates that of all the public service corporations in the country, the Southern California Edison company is taking the lead in associating its consumers as partners in the organization which supplies them with their electric requirements. In this communication, Mr. Kemp says that during the past year the company financed development and extensions for over $17,000,000 from the sale of its common stock at a price only slightly below par, at a time when the general market reached its lowest level in industrial and utilities. It fixed the amount of stock to be sold during 1922 at 75,000 shares, and judging by the present demand, it would all be disposed of in a short time, if the limitation as to the amount sold to one person had not been made. The idea of limiting the sales was to make the stock available to the greatest number of people. There was a great demand for the company's stock in the eastern market and through the country at large, but the heavy local sales to consumers preclude large blocks being taken outside of the territory which the company serves. The effect has been of adding twenty California stockholders to every one in the east. In commenting upon unusual records for stock sales, Vice-President Kemp stated to District Manager Deimling: "Care has been taken to maintain the business of the corporation in such a manner that it would win the conidence of the public. We have always been conservative in our financing, paid special attention to the service given the people—in other words, have been a servant 'of the people,' by the people' in every sense of the word." District Manager Deimling said that during this year the company expects to spend $22,534,000 for new water power plants and distributing lines to provide for the expected addition of 50,000 new consumers. Of the total construction expenditures, over $10,000,000 will go for labor, in addition to the regular operating pay roll of $5,500,000. Many millions of dollars for the purchase of supplies of all kinds will be necessary. Nearly all of these can now be obtained from the local market, but until great machinery factories, steel mills and copper wire plants are located in southern California, it will be necessary to place orders for large machinery and appliances in the east.

"BY ALL MEANS GET A FIT." F. A. Yungblu Home of Hart, Schaffner & Marx Clothes ING issued an "affidavit of probable cause" in connection with the case. Attorney W. T. Kendrick, Jr., of Los Angeles, argued for more than an hour in presenting his motion, which was based upon the contention that the rights of Woods as a defendant had not been fully protected, that his witnesses had not been summoned, that evidence which should have been ruled out was admitted at the trial and that Woods' attorney at the trial had not received time for preparing a defense. Kendrick also cited the fact that this different juries had presided at one time or another over the proceedings of the Woods case. This he argued, had not been done by stipulation of counsel or by authority of the governor. Judge Z. B. West, regularly presiding judge in that department on the court, had conducted the arraignment of Woods. Judge Goodcell, on San Bernardino, had presided over the trial. Judge R. Y. Williams, of department two of the local court, received the verdict of the jury. Judge Goodcell informed Kendrick that no substitution of judges not in accord with the customary practice of all of the courts of the state had been made in the Woods case. He stated his willingness to let the supreme court rule on that point, saying it was well that the error should be known, if it were an error. With reference to the absence of Woods' witnesses, a subpoena was found for one defense witness. It was learned then that Woods claimed to have left a list of witnesses at the office of the sheriff, which he desired to be called, instead of filing them with the clerk of the court.

AUTO STAGE DISPUTE BEFORE HIGH COURT Supreme Judge Will Decide Issue Between Crown Stages and Motor Transit Company Declaring that the "sole question before the court in this proceeding is" did the state railroad commission have jurisdiction to hear and determine the issues presented by the claim of A. B. Watson, and the answer of the Motor Transit company, or did it, by making the order, violate any right of the Motor Transit company? Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing A. B. Watson, of the Crown Stage company, has filed for his client, a brief before the supreme court on California, which tribunal will decide the questions at issue between the Crown Stage and the Motor Transit company. "This proceeding," Bishop's brief sets forth, "instituited by the Motor Transit company, a corporation, arises out of a complaint filed with the state." RUSSIAN PIANIST AND PUPILS GIVE PROGRAM Mme.

This proceeding," Bishop's brief sets forth, "instituted by the Motor Transit company, a corporation, arises out of a complaint filed with the state railroad commission by A. B. Watson May 7, 1920, complaining against the White Bus company, a corporation, or certain operations of that corporation claimed to be in violation of law and within the regulatory and supervisorial power of the railroad commission. During the pendency of the proceeding the name of the defendant (White Bus company) was changed to that of Motor Transit company, petitioner herein, and under which it now prosecutes this proceeding to have reviewed by the supreme court the action of the commission concerning the matters complained of by A. B. Watson. "The complaint was entertained by the railroad commission and the commission found that the matters set forth in the complaint were violations of law on behalf of the White Bus company, and, within the regulatory and supervisorial powers of the commission, ordered the Motor Transit company to cease the actions complained of. "Motor Transit company, after securing some extensions of the effective date of the order of the commission, made application for a rehearing before the commission, which was denied." The Motor Transit company, which was ordered by the commission to discontinue the practice of engaging in local transportation between the cities of Anaheim and Santa Ana, appealed to the supreme court for a review of the proceedings before the state railroad commission. Attorney Bishop, in his brief, maintains that "the rule enunciated by the railroad commission in this decision is as wholesome a decision as it has ever written involving the automobile stage business, for if it now be declared by the court that where a person on the first day of May, 1917, was operating over a highway between widely separated cities of this state automobiles for the transportation of persons to and from those cities, that such person now has the right to put any right of the Motor Transit company?"

"We do not believe that the supreme court will place any such construction upon this legislative enactment." LEGION COUNCIL BANS THE OUTSIDE CARNIVALS Keep county money at home. That will be the object of Orange county posts of the American Legion hereafter. The decision was reached Thursday night by the Orange county council of the American Legion at its monthly meeting held in the Gold Room at James' in Santa Ana. Warnings will be issued to the various posts in the county affected by the ruling not to enter into contract with outside parties for entertainment purposes without the consent of the county council. That the county council intends to enforce the ruling was evidenced by civil and pro-rated as that body sees fit, following action at the meeting. Members of the county council were honor guests at the regular meeting of Santa Ana post No. 131, following the regular gathering. About 150 members of the post were present. William Webb, county commander of the American Legion, and other officials of the county council spoke. The Santa Ana post voted to hold meetings twice a month following the next regular meeting, March 9. The members will meet at the American Legion club rooms on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. BEAN MEN GET PAYMENT Within a few days Orange county bean growers who are members of the California Lima Bean Growers association will receive another payment of one cent a pound on their 1921 lima crop handled by the association. "We are glad to be able to announce that our volume of sales and shipments has been such that we expect the board of directors to authorize our office to send out another payment to local associations between February 15 and 20 corresponding to payment we made just after January 15. This coming payment is expected to be one cent a pound on regular limas, and arrangements may be made whereby similar payments will also be made on baby limas, although proceeds from sales of baby limas to date have not been quite sufficient to permit a payment of that size. An association bulletin says: "As was the case last year, the month of January has again proven to be a good month for sales. Commencing the first week of the month..."

Not only was our volume of sales very satisfactory, but prices also advanced during the last half of January about 45 cents a hundred weight. "While still holding unsold a good many thousand bags of beans, our association has now marketed a large proportion of its 1921 crop of limas and baby limas, and the sales of independent growers and shippers have also been so large in volume that it seems absolutely certain that the entire remaining stocks here on the coast will be sold and moved to market some time before 1922 harvest."
