JURY FAILS TO AGREE IN WALTER HODGE'S CASE Judge West Fixes New Trial Date for September 5. After deliberating for seven hours, the jury which heard the evidence in the case of Walter Hodges, charged with embezzling a Hpumobile car from the Golden State Motor company, reported to Judge West Wednesday evening that an agreement could not be reached as the twelve men and women were hopelessly divided. The jury stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal, and the division was clear cut, no compromise being possible. The jury was therefore discharged, and Judge West fixed September 5 as the date of the new trial. Both the prosecution and the defense expect to strengthen their respective sides of the case at the new trial. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Moseley handled the case for the state, and declares that an important witness for the state, who was prevented from testifying at this trial by illness, will be on hand at the new trial, and give damaging evidence against Hodges. J. Lloyd Moore, also formerly connected with the Golden State company, is expected to amend his testimony. Mr. Moore was suffering from illness at the time of the last trial that his memory was defective, and he refused to definitely answer several important questions. Mr. Moore states that since his recovery these points are again clear to him and he will answer them in the next trial. On the other hand, W. I. Gilbert, attorney for Hodges, expects to strengthen the case for the defense, and is confident of acquittal. The whole case hinges on the question of whether or not Hodges was a partner in the Golden State firm at the time he committed the act which the company calls embezzlement. Hetain the great commonwealth of California may not shine too brightly and overshadow the other states represented in the United States senate. "Sincerely yours, ME AND HI-RUM CLUB," "Harry S.

ROTARIANS PICNIC AT THE COUNTY PARK Orange County Team Defeats Long Beach in Ball Game TURN SLUG N..N..N.N N The utmost good nature and good fellowship that goes with Rotary held full sway. From the time the noisy parade along Fourth street let Santa Anans know that the Rotarians had turned themselves loose for a big time until the last Rotarian left the park, the spirit of joyfulness reigned. The baseball game was one of great joy. An Orange county team walloped Long Beach, which has been walloping Santa Ana at previous picnics. This time a county team took on the wizards from the beach city. Monte McFadden, Santa Ana, pitched for Orange county, and although he pitched so hard he sprained a foot, he won. At least, his team won 8 to 5. Others on the county aggregation were: Ed Schneider, Anaheim, catcher; Harry Riley, Anaheim, first; John Tubbs, Santa Ana, second; Will Spurgeon, Santa Ana, third; Tom McFadden, Anaheim, and Art Shipkey, Anaheim, short; Pete Beissel, Ed McFadden, Santa Ana, and Earl Campbell, Orange, fielders. Long Beach players were Merrill, Kessler, Graef, Tucker, Isaacs, Myers, Hanbery, Winstead, Saylir, Baron. Handsome prizes were given to winners in a variety of laugh-producing contests. Alex Brownridge, Santa Ana, won the rooster contest, in which two contestants with a roller towel around their heads squatted and pulled against each other.

WAR VETERAN OPPOSITER NOT CRIME The War Veteran ing the claim o didate for the for state treasured in the Philadelphia sending copies Moore states that since his recovery these points are again clear to him and he will answer them in the next trial. On the other hand, W. I. Gilbert, attorney for Hodges expects to strengthen the case for the defense, and is confident of acquittal. The whole case hinges on the question of whether or not Hodges was a partner in the Golden State firm at the time he committed the act which the company calls embezzlement. He claims that he owned a third interest, but under an agreement he was compelled to stay sober for a year. If he fell off the water wagon during that period the said interest was forfeited to his two partners. He declares he was still a partner when he mortgaged the car at Los Angeles for $450, and then drove it to San Diego, where it was recovered by the firm. The whole case, if his statement is true, appears to hinge on the question, was Hodges sober when these acts were performed, or was he soused and therefore no longer a partner. JOHNSON AND THE BUDDIES "Hiram Johnson, the soldiers' friend," the slogan that Johnson adherents are feverishly attempting to make popular, has become the standing joke among ex-service men throughout the state. Johnson's boast that the veterans will be solid for him and their votes delivered to him in a lump has been repudiated by ex-service leaders in almost every city in California. They are able to think for themselves, they assert, and the majority of them don't feel that Hiram is entitled to their support in view of his indifference to individual appeals for aid. They were amazed and incensed that the statement of a recent circular letter that Johnson has aided in settling thousands of veterans' claims. They assert he almost totally ignored such claims and was of little assistance to the service men while in Washington. Harry S. Anderson, who describes himself as "just a 'buck private' with the 319th engineers," has received one of the Johnson circulars and replied thereto. In a letter to a friend he says: "Dear Buddy: Knowing that you are somewhat interested in politics and therefore interested in the good government of our nation, I feel certain you will be vitally concerned with the candidacy of Mr. Hi-rum Johnson for re-election den, Santa Ana, and Earl Campbell, Orange, fielders.

A blindfold squatting contest, in which each man tried to hit the other with a rolled newspaper, was won by Charles F. Hell, Santa Ana. Rex Fluke, Long Beach, won the spud race; Veta Winstead, Long Beach, the girls' egg race; Stanley Anderson, the boys' race; Dorothy Hewitt, Long Beach, the race for women weighing more than 170 pounds; Miss Katherine Robbins, the girls' race; Harry Riley, Anaheim, Indian wrestling; Art Shipkey, Anaheim, the belt tug of war; H. H. Dale, Santa Ana, the grip balancing; Mrs. Will Clement, Orange, the women's nail driving contest. Jack Hayden, Santa Ana, president, presided at the evening festivities. An address was delivered by Jack Williams, Long Beach, Rotary district president, and brief remarks were by Herbert Cleveland, president of San Pedro; Roy Myers, vice-president, Long Beach; W. M. Irvin, president, Fullerton; Harry Riley, president, Anaheim, and Frank Hallmann, Orange. BOY SCOUT NEWS LETTER Dr. M. A. Patton, chairman of the camping committee for the county Boy Scouts, just returned from his formal inspection of the camp and was most enthusiastic in both the potential good the camp can do and the good it has done this year. Dr. Patton, in telling of his visit, said he was surprised to find so beautiful a camp site available for the Orange county boys and also surprised to find the amount of improvements that had been made during the summer. Patton said the most remarkable natural thing in the whole layout is the huge glacier which lies just a short distance from camp. Patton spent over an hour in viewing this marvelous natural wonder. He told of the huge trees which the glacier had cut down in its progress down the canyon, some of them measuring four feet through.

In a letter to a friend he says: "Dear Buddy: Knowing that you are somewhat interested in politics and therefore interested in the good government of our nation, I feel certain you will be vitally concerned with the candidacy of Mr. Hi-rum Johnson for reelection to the United States senate. Here is a man so entirely without fear that even the wishes of his own constituents mean nothing, compared to the dictates of his own William Hearst conscience. 'A man so fearless that he went alone (politically) into the depths of Siberia and rescued the chilled American expeditionary force from the horrors of Vodka. Hi-rum Johnson is a man so broadminded that even party lines are imaginary boundaries, sufficiently flexible to permit supporting Hearst's Democratic aspirations in New York. This is the type of man needed to represent our great commonwealth—a senator who can at once be a friend of the syndicalists, a supporter of the privileged interests, a Democrat, a Progressive and a Republican—a veritable chameleon with a hide so thick and a soul so dull that the opinions of those he professes to represent will be as ineffectual as water on a duck's back. Hi-rum Johnson knows no authority save that of William Randolph Hearst. Let me impress you, therefore, with the urgent necessity of securing for this great American republican nomination that we may be cer- amount of improvements that had been made during the summer. Patton said the most remarkable natural thing in the whole layout is the huge glacier which lies just a short distance from camp. Patton spent over an hour in viewing this marvelous natural wonder. He told of the huge trees which the glacier had cut down in its progress down the canyon, some of them measuring four feet through. He declared it was the most wonderful thing he had seen in southern California. Patton declared that while two hundred and fifty boys and men, which is considered a large number for a council of this size, has been in camp this year, he fully expected twice that number to attend the camp next summer. Other visitors at camp over the week-end were Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Miller and family, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Crawford and family, of Tustin, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Van Patton, of Olinda, and Mr. and Mrs. William E. Annin. Mrs. Crawford, whose son has spent the last period in camp, declared, after visiting the camp for two days, that she would not have had her son miss the camp. R. R. Miller, county probation officer and former professional boy-s work man, who has conducted many camps for boys, declared that this was the finest camp he had ever attended. Miller and his family are staying at the camp until it closes on Wednesday. Wednesday morning the camp will be officially closed when seven machines supplied by the Elks of Santa Ana will journey to camp and bring home the boys who are there. For four days following that, the camp will be used by the four boys and the ANAHEIM GAZETTE scout executives who are going to Sacramento to represent Orange county at the state fair, for the purpose of intense training for the demonstration that the team will put on up there. The boys who have been chosen to represent Orange county at the state fair are Eagle Scouts Lester Moon and Morris Davis, Santa Ana, Waldemar Borchard, of Orange, and John Shea, of Anaheim. These scouts were honored because of their ability to demonstrate scouting and because of the fact that they have proven themselves to be the highest type scouts in the county. Orange county was further honored when the executive committee of the state fair placed the county scout executive, R. E. Dye, in charge of all demonstration work to be staged before the grandstand at the state fair during the scouts' attendance there. Each council will have an exhibit exemplifying scouting, put on a demonstration demonstrating some of the phases of scout work and there will also be a conference of the scouts, who are all older boys, at which time some of the problems relating to scouting in the older boys will be discussed. This is the only state-wide activity of the scouts during the entire year and is considered by those in charge of scouting as one of the most important activities of the entire year.

Paddock, University of Southern California athlete and world champion sprinter, often called the “fastest human ever known.” The U. S. C. speed demon has been asked to go on the chautauqua circuit. Paddock has accepted the offer and has just signed a contract with the Dominion Chautauquas, Limited, of Canada, for a six weeks speaking tour in the summer of 1923. The tour, it is intimated by the chautauqua management, will include a number of engagements in the United States as well as Canada, and may be continued for an additional six weeks. Paddock will give forty-two addresses, each of an hour's duration. While he has not yet settled upon his subject, it will be somewhat along the line of the addresses which he has delivered in a number of churches in California, during the past winter. WHAT'S THE REASON? Many Anaheim People in Poor Health Without Knowing the Cause. There are scores of people who drag out a miserable existence without realizing the cause of their suffering. Day after day they are racked with backache and headache; suffer from nervousness, dizziness, weakness, langour and depression.

The railroads can fill those positions with whomever they please. The strikers must get away from the idea that they can abandon those positions and still exercise a controlling interest in them. It would be as sound to say that a railroad worker who dies can provide in his will who shall fall heir to his job. The effect on the business of the railroad is precisely the same, whether a worker dies or strikes. It is up to the road to get the work done, and the man who has left it cannot interfere.

The resolutions are self-explanatory: Whereas, it appears that John T. Millan, candidate for the Republican nomination for state treasurer, or the campaign committee of John T.

England has already enacted the "safeguarding industries act, imposing an average tariff of about 33 per cent. Funny kind of "retaliation" that takes place in advance.
