The Lawyers Bill, which will appear on the ballot as Proposition Number 24, is part of a national campaign by lawyers to legislate business into attorneys' offices, according to a statement issued by the Public Rights Committee of Northern California, an organization formed to oppose adoption of the bill at the November election. Representative business and professional men and realty boards presidents of Northern California comprise the committee, of which Marshall Hale, San Francisco merchant, is chairman. Statements by proponents of the bill that only certain banks are opposed to the Lawyers Bill seem to be punctured by the fact that no bankers whatever are found among the members of the Public Rights Committee. The statement issued by the committee says: his guilt. He was given an indeterminate sentence of from six months to fifteen years, and a sheriff's officer left with him Thursday night for San Quentin. Richardson has a wife and four-year old daughter. FRANK H. KERRIGAN A QUALIFIED JUDGE In making their selection of the two candidates for the office of member of the supreme court of the state, voters should give careful consideration to the qualifications of Frank H.

Statements by proponents of the bill that only certain banks are opposed to the Lawyers Bill seem to be punctured by the fact that no bankers whatever are found among the members of the Public Rights Committee. The statement issued by the committee says: "A certain class of lawyers is chiefly responsible for the type of legislation represented by this measure. Those have been successful through their influences in the legislatures of a number of states in securing the enactment of similar legislation. Never, however, has the legislation been submitted to a vote of the people. That will be done for the first time when the Lawyers Bill is submitted to the people of California in November. "The cause of this legislation in California was not the practices of certain trust companies, although the lawyers seek strenuously to show that the object of their bill is to curb certain of these practices, notably the drawing of wills. It may be said in reply to that argument that if this had been the real object of the legislation a simple bill might have been drawn for that purpose without arousing the widespread opposition that the present measure has encountered. Fight for Patronage. "As a matter of fact, and the evidence is incontrovertible, the lawyers responsible for this type of legislation want to go a great deal further than stop a few isolated cases of practices by trust companies to which they object. The basic object of the legislation is to prevent any corporation or individual from giving free any service for which an attorney might be employed and for which an attorney might charge a fee. "In the growth of American business there has developed, in response to a public demand, a service on the part of financial and business institutions and a great variety of business agencies, which, if strictly interpreted, is a legal service. The growth of this kind of service is one reason why commercial law is taught in our schools, business colleges and universities. Practically in every line of business nowadays customers bring questions involving some simple point of business law and these are answered freely. "Obviously if all business law old daughter. FRANK H. KERRIGAN A QUALIFIED JUDGE In making their selection of the two candidates for the office of member of the supreme court of the state, voters should give careful consideration to the qualifications of Frank H. Kerriigan, at present a member of the appellate bench and for twenty-eighteen years a judge in this state. Judge Kerrigan's standing with the legal profession is judicially and personally clean. His long experience as a judge peculiarly fit him to occupy a place as a member of the highest court in the state. Judge Kerrigan is justified in asking election to the supreme bench for other reasons aside from his long service on the bench. As appellate judge for sixteen years he has been called upon to discharge identically the same duties as those of the office to which he now aspires. That he has continually labored to "abolish the law's delays." That is a member of the district court of appeal for the first appellate district, he advocated and encouraged the speeding up of the work of the court, so that its own calendar being cleaned up, it was able to devote its entire time to the decision of supreme court cases. To aid in that work, the court, of which he was a member, inaugurated the system of holding frequent terms one of the justices at each term being replaced by ya justice of the superior court, the absent justice in the mean time being engaged in the preparation of opinions in causes already argued and submitted. This simple method increased the volume of work turned out by fifty per cent. at a trifling expense to the state, and with the result that the several years' arrears of the work of the supreme court were caught up with. This method can always be resorted to whenever the necessity arises. Judge Kerrigan sponsored and advocated the system of the appellate justices familiarizing themselves with the record on appeal prior to the oral argument of the case, to the end that the argument might be particularly addressed to the debatable points. Those points thus received more erhaustive consideratio without lengthening the argument. He directed the arrangement of the court calendar by grouping causes Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY GOES TO PENITENTIARY Perry Richardson pleads guilty to Nameless Offense Against Boys Only a week or two ago Perry Richardson was secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and an honored citizen of this city. Today he is in San Quentin penitentiary and may serve a sentence of fifteen years. Richardson was arrested on a charge of sex preversion his victims being small boys under his charge. Richardson was arraigned for his preliminary hearing before Justice French at Fullerton. There were a number of boys who could have testified against him, but after hearing the evidence of one of them the judge bound him over to the superior court. Before Judge Williams Thursday he surprised the court and his friends by breaking down and acknowledging Judge Kerrigan sponsored and advocated the system of the appellate justices familiarizing themselves with the record on appeal prior to the oral argument of the case, to the end that the argument might be particularly addressed to the debatable points Those points thus received more erhaustive consideratio without lengthening the argument. He directed the arrangement of the court's calendar by grouping causes coming from the same county so that they could argue on the same day thus permitting an attorney engaged in two or more causes to curtail greatly his enforced absence from his place of residence. It is noteworthy that his decisions are free from technicalities. Judge Kerrigan was born and educated in California and has passed his life here. Receiving his legal education in the Hastings College of Law he practiced his profession in San Francisco before he started upon his judicial career. He is a member of various fraternal organizations; and is very active in their humanitarian work, notably homes for homeless children, to which he has, for many years past, earnestly and effectively devoted much time and energy. A vote for Judge Frank H. Kerrigan is a vote for an industrious, capable energetic, fearless and impartial judge, and for a broadminded, honest and good citizen.

She knows it doesn't pay to waste her good efforts and her good flour, eggs and other materials by using anything but ROYAL—the best baking powder made. It Contains No Alum Leaves No Bitter Taste will be at least a dozen cups and prizes to be distributed to the winners. In addition to this it is the plan of the Armistice day parade committee, of which Frank Benchley is the chairman, to have sweepstake prizes to be awarded to the best enthiles made by both men's and women's organizations. The parade committee is now at work segregating and classifying the various divisions so that there may be an award for each of the competing units. KNOCKED OUT BY JUICE One man was rendered unconscious and several others narrowly escaped death or serious injury about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning when a crane, being operated at the Orange County Rock and Gravel company's pit at Prospect and Walnut streets Santa Ana, came in contact with an Edison company wire carrying 10,000 volts. Edison power service was suspended for about an hour on account of the accident. An emergency crew was rushed to the gravel pit and repairs were made as rapidly as possible. The man who was "knocked out" by the shock is Pedro Santa Cruz, a Yaqui Indian. He was pouring oil in a tank a quarter of a mile from the crane which came in contact with the high voltage wire. According to Edison linemen the voltage was carried through the narrow guage railroad laid by the rock and gravel company. If Santa Cruz had been standing on one of the rails he would have been rolled it in said. The electric current passed through the oil as it was being poured from a bucket into a tank resting on a miniature flat car. Santa Cruz was knocked at least 12 feet by the electric shock. Other workmen about the gravel pit scattered in every direction. Operations about the pit were stopped until the Edison linemen repaired the dangling live wires. SEAWELL SURE OF ELECTION That Judge Emmet Seawell will be elected associate justice of the supreme court by a greater plurality than was accorded him at the primaries when he headed his ticket, is the confident assertion at his headquarters following receipt of reports from all parts of the state. All but thirteen of the fifty-eight counties gave Seawell a plurality; Los Angeles being one of the thirteen. Now comes a wire from Joseph P. Sproul, campaign manager in the south, imparting the following: "Election of Judge Seawell is conceded in legal circles; tide is turned strongly in his favor throughout southern California. Receiving many in fluential endorsements."
