The vibrations were from north to south, and the duration of the quake was probably from twelve to fifteen seconds, although some estimates go as high as two minutes and some as low as four seconds. Fifteen seconds make a good, long quake, longer than we really care to have occur again. No damage was done, but considerable nervousness and excitement prevailed during the vibration. Clocks were stopped and in some instances book cases and other objects shaken from shelves. A bright reddish light was noticed in some sections in the western sky. At San Jacinto and Hemet the shock was more severe damaging, it is said nearly every business block in town. Mike Reagan came up from Los Alamitos on Sunday to pay a visit to his many friends here.

Mr. Marquez has just been appointed postmaster at Yorba. Archie Fay is home from Stanford to spend the holidays with his parents. M. T. Middleham and C. M. Lincoln are decorating the Ruhman block with a new coat of paint. Ezekiel Andrade, aged 38 years, a brother of Mrs. John Wagner and Mrs. Charley Stone, of Placentia, was accidentally killed at Sherman, near Los Angeles, on November 29. He had been living at Elizabeth Lake with his son for some time. Andrade had a shotgun and his son a rifle. The boy took his father's gun and said he was going to shoot some birds.

Oscar Nelson, a member of the Philadelphia's crew now stationed in San Diego, was in town on Christmas day the guest of Mr. Seale's family.

Crowther and his two daughters, Misses Sadle and Rubey Crowther returned on Sunday from their trip to the British Isle and Europe after an absence since April. They visited at Mr. Crowther's old home in England and traveled extensively in Europe. In France, Mr. Crowther made an inspection of the famous walnut growing section of Grenoble, where he found the crop only sixty per cent of normal. He pronounces the French methods of cultivation primitive and not to be compared with those of Southern California. He returns in good health and is glad to get home. THE FRENCH SPOILATION Basing his recommendations upon the findings and consulsions of the Court of Claims of the United States, President Coolidge urged in his recent message to Congress the appropriation by that body of sufficient funds to pay the remaining French spoilation claims, so called. Four previous apprehensions have been made by actsury, surely a modern Congress should demonstrate its freedom from subterfuge by yielding to common sense and fair judgment. And there are gratifying indications that a new order has been established. Honesty in government is no more difficult to practice than honesty in individual affairs. This is being realized, and the insistence of President Coolidge that the claims be settled is but one o the many evidences of a determination to apply the rule generally. STAMPEDING THE HERD It is inconceivable that men and women, with fixed notions of right, can be temporarily led into forgetfulness of those principles by their party affiliations. Led by the best men and women, a great majority of Americans are in favor of the amendment prohibiting child labor in commercial industry, yet Massachusetts the home state of President Coolidge, which by an overwhelming sentiment petitioned Congress to submit the Child Labor Amendment, voted against it by a majority of 400,000. The people of Massachusetts, like the decent people in every other state are opposed to the exploitation of child labor. But, stampeded by the burrah of big business at election time, to insure prosperity, the voters of Massachusetts voted against the Child Labor Amendment by a tremendous majority. How people can be duped into voting against something they believe in is one of the many mysteries of the human mind.

The property affected by this action is that certain real property situated in the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, described as follows: That portion of Lot "L" of the Bush and Watson Tract in the Leandro Serrano Allotment of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, According to a survey made by George C. Knox for Bush and Watson in September, 1871, described as follows: Beginning at a point marked by a nail and tin in the pavement in the Center line of the County Road known as Santiago Boulevard, which said point bears North 89 degrees 15' East 722.04 feet from the West line of said Lot "L" which is the center line of the County Road known as Tustin Avenue; running thence North no degrees 25' West 595.98 feet at point marked by an iron pipe; thence North 89 degrees 15' East 72.60 feet to a point which is 6 feet East of an iron pipe, which said point is in the center line of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company ditch; thence along center line of said ditch following courses and distances: South no degrees 25' East 6.54 feet; South 44 degrees 55' East 332.28 feet; South 6 degrees 40' East 297.40 feet to a point marked by an iron pipe and South 56 degrees 40' East 98.60 feet to a point in the center line of the said Santiago Boulevard; Thence along the center line of said Santiago Boulevard, South 89 degrees 15' West 419.76 feet to the point of beginning, containing 3.777 acres, more or less, according to the survey thereof by W. K. Hillyard in 1924.

That object of the action is to quiet plaintiff's title and the title of Martha A. Squires, deceased, to the above described real property and to determine adverse claims to, and any THE FRENCH SPOILATION Basing his recommendations upon the findings and consulsions of the Court of Claims of the United States, President Coolidge urged in his recent message to Congress the appropriation by that body of sufficient funds to pay the remaining French spoilation claims, so called. Four previous appropriations have been made, by acts passed in 1891, 1899, 1902, and 1906, respectively, in satisfaction of claim which had been adjusted and determined, but there still remain unliquidated about 1500 individual claims which have awaited settlement since the year 1800, or almost a century and a quarter. The inclination is to agree with the President that if there is an obligation, as there clearly is, to recognize and pay these claims, action has been long enough delayed, says the Christian Science Monitor. The history of the origin of these claims, except as it has been recalled at intervals since a period slightly later than the Revolutionary War, is almost forgotten. At the close of that war, in recognition of the assistance given by Lafayette and the French Nation, the United States pledged itself to aid France in protecting its colonies in the West Indies in case of attack by Great Britain. When, a few years later, this assistance was asked, President Washington decided that this country was not in position to render this aid, and the treaty was abrogated. As a result France adopted a policy of reprisals against American vessels. Some 3,000 ships were seized. In 1800 a new convention of peace was concluded between France and the United States, under which French national claims against the United States were offset by the individual claims of American citizens arising out of the seizures under the reprisal policy. It is a reasonable presumption that through this offsetting process, by which the United States satisfied admittedly just claims of France against itself, the moral and legal obligation to pay its own claimants was fixed. And yet we see that since the year 1802, when the first claims were filed, Congress and more than one Chief Executive have, upon one pretext and another, prevented a final adjustment and settlement. Investigation after investigation has been conducted. Senator Hoe of Massachusetts in a re- NOT SECTIONAL Those who feared that his New England birth would breed sectionalism in Mr. Coolidge should note his advocacy of the St. Lawrence waterway from the Lakes to the sea. Much of the thought of New England has been opposed to that project, but Mr. Coolidge believes that such a channel for western products to Europe should be provided.

Notice is hereby given that at a through this offsetting process, by which the United States satisfied admittedly just claims of France against itself, the moral and legal obligation to pay its own claimants was fixed. And yet we see that since the year 1802, when the first claims were filed, Congress and more than one Chief Executive have, upon one pretext and another, prevented a final adjustment and settlement. Investigation after investigation has been conducted. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, in a report made to Congress in 1884, intimated that the delay in settlement had been due to "the unfortunate condition of the finances at the time." There had been, at intervals, a series of adverse reports. In 1827 full documentary proof of the claims was supplied by the State Department. It was stated by Senator Hoar, in a review of the cases, that there had been forty favorable reports on the claims, and that Congress had twice passed bills granting the relief asked. One of these was vetoed by President Polk and the other by President Pierce. In 1885 the Court of Claims was directed to determine the validity and amount of all these claims and to report. The work was completed twenty years later. Following this, President Taft twice recommended to Congress that settlement of the claims be made, although President Cleveland, in 1895, had vetoed a relief bill upon the theory that whatever liability existed must be assumed by the insurance companies which had written policies on the vessels. Now President Coolidge, relying upon the indings and conclusions of the Court of Claims, urges that all remaining amounts be paid. There is no prescient assurance that this recommendation will be followed. If it has been possible, by resorting to red tape methods, to postpone an equitable adjustment of an admitted obligation for much more than a cent- ATTORNEYS FOR ADMINISTRATIX. Nov. 13t5.
