LOCAL BREVITIES The Anaheim public library has added 105 new volumes to its shelves, according to Elizabeth Calmon, city librarian. Adult non-fiction leads the list with 38 new books, including the last works of Clemenceau, and poems of John Mansfield. Adult fiction includes a list of 25 novels, including new productions of Zane Grey, William McFee and Goeffrey Farnol. There are 21 new juvenile non-fiction books and 21 juvenile fiction books in the new section. Mrs. M. L. Pearson, wife of a former pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Orange, passed away Sunday morning in the Anaheim hospital following an operation performed Saturday. The body was removed to the Coffee funeral home in Orange. Funeral arrangements will not be made until word has been received from a sister in the east. Mrs. Pearson was taken to the hospital Friday. She lived at $10 West LaVeta avenue, Orange. Billy Knott has re-arranged his meat market on North Los Angeles street, annexed an adjoining room to his space and is installing a fruit and vegetable department. A. L. Leonard was in town from Hollywood, Saturday. Mr. Leonard was a former resident here and is still much interested in the progress of Anaheim. Octave and Arthur Roquet are entertaining their brother, Emil Rouquet, his wife and family, of Rock Island, Ill., who will spend some time viewing the beauties of southern California. Mr. Rouquet may be persuaded to make his home here. Miss Majorle Clark, who is a senior at Ramona Convent, Pasadena, spent the holidays with her mother, Mrs. Claudina Clark. She returned on Monday to her studies. Mrs. Hans Weisel Called by Death The Chronicle and praised Kearney without qualification. The Cinese immigration and railroad questions dwarf the regular party issues at that time. Neither party had shown itself able to deal with the former—both parties were suspected of having been tampered with on the latter. Other problems, such as reducing public expenditure, shifting of taxation to the wealthy, and generally to restrict capital, occupied Kearney's mind. He recognized that the only way this could be accomplished would be to draw up a new constitution, because the people have more direct control over legislation... Miss Majorle Clark, who is a senior at Ramona Convent, Pasadena, spent the holidays with her mother, Mrs. Claudina Clark. She returned on Monday to her studies. Mrs. Hans Weisel Called by Death Mrs. Evangeline Weisel, wife of Hans Weisel, formerly a resident here, died at her home at Carlotta, California. Sunday. She had been ill for about two weeks. Sunday morning P. J. Weisel, of LaHabra, left for Carlotta, but found his sister-in-law dead on his arrival. The body was brought to Anaheim for burial. She leaves a wide circle of friends here to grieve over her untimely death. She also leaves two children, a son Victor, and daughter Juanita, and a sister living at San Pedro. Mr. Weisel and the children have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Funeral services will be held at the parlor of Backs, Terry and Campbell at 2 o'clock tomorrow. Rev. Thomas Walker in charge. The pallbearers are Alfred Heyling, Earl Abbey, George Soule, Grant Van Valen, Frank Dyer and Eldon Stark. HAPPY MARRIAGE Fred A. Maurer and Mrs. Lena Biehl were quietly married on Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Albert, 311 W. Olive street. Rev. Thomas Walker of the Presbyterian church performed the ceremony, and Mr. and Mrs. Albert were the only attendants. After a short honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Maurer will be at home to their friends at 318 S. Helena street. Mr. Maurer came to Anaheim from Cleveland, Ohio, in 1884 and has lived here continuously ever since. Mrs. Maurer is a recent arrival, coming to California last year to be near her son, Merle Albert. DELPHIANS MEET Both the Alpha and Beta sections of the Delphian society met this week and interesting discussions resulted. The Alpha section met with Mrs. C. W. Austin at her home on North West street on Tuesday morning. The Beta section were entertained by Mr. J. S. Sheridan at her home on North Lemon. Among the more prominent speakers taking part in the discussions were Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, Mrs. H. G. Carlin, Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain, Mrs. W. N. Plamer, Mrs. C. M. Kemp, Mrs. C. W. Austin and Miss Frieda Jansss. The general meeting of the Delphians will occur next Tuesday. New Constitution The Cinese immigration and railroad questions dwarfed the regular party issues at that time. Neither party had shown itself able to deal with the former—both parties were suspected of having been tampered with on the latter. Other problems, such as reducing public expenditure, shifting of taxation to the wealthy, and generally to restrict capital, occupied Kearney's mind. He recognized that the only way this could be accomplished would be to draw up a new constitution, because the people have more direct control over legislation through a convention making a constitution than they have over action of a legislature. So a new constitution became the object of the popular cry, and with the aid of rural districts, Kearney put the plan across. A heavy vote in its favor was cast, principally because it promised a new departure, historians agree. In the summer of 1878 delegates were chosen to the convention and would draw the new constitution. (The next, and final article of this series, will describe the convention and its results.) Gangsters Swing at State Prison Grim New Year's Day at Folsom for Desperate Convicts It's going to be a grim New Year's celebration at Folsom [prison]—for Hangman's Day is too close at hand. Beginning January 3, and for the next three Fridays thereafter, five gangsters who, a little more than two years ago, plotted the bloodiest revolt in the prison's history, will be hanged. Technically, the convicts stand convicted of the murder of a fellow prisoner," Red" Baker, a trusty slain by a stray bullet fired by ythe men in their desperate attempt to escape. But in the eyes of Warden Court Smith, and his staff, they are paying the penalty for stabling to death Guard Ray Singleton, the unarmed hero who tried to quell the riot when it began. Twelve others lost their lives in the revolt. Here are the prisoners to be hanged, in order of their execution: January 3—"Tony" Brown, 30, San Francisco holdup man whose grayhairied mother testified at the trial that her boy was incapable of murder; Roy Stokes," The Rat," 23, Los Angeles burglar, a Texan by birth, with a mania for killing "niggers" whom he hates. He killed one as a youth, for which he served a reformatory term, and another during his term at Folsom. January 10—Walter "Scarface" Burke, 30, Sacramento theater robber, said to have a long sentence awaiting him in Texas; "Jimmy" Gregg," The Weasel," 28, sentenced from Fresno for slaying Constable Boyle of Kingsburg. The murder was committed November 14, 1924, after Gregg and two companions had escaped from prison guards near Chauvinville.

Today, with little if any public interest, Governor Young is about to announce a state commission to draw up a constitution to replace the present historical document. It was in 1877, and California was suffering from "hard times." Strangely enough this depression had followed wild speculation in mining stocks and a resultant "crash." Disgust with economic conditions and city, state, and county government was widespread. Time was ripe for a popular leader. He came in the person of Dennis Kearney, an Irish drayman in San Francisco. Following an election in San Francisco Kearney gathered a group about him, whom he had led through the election, and formed the "Workingmen's Trade and Labor Union," of which he was secretary. Sandlots composed the present Sunset and Richmond districts in those days in San Francisco, and here Kearney used to lead his followers for meetings. At first it was a ragged crowd of vagabonds, at best that he could expect for an audience as he discoursed at great length on subjects of the day. Finally the Morning Chronicle espused his cause and gave much space to his speeches. Not to be outdone, the Morning Call—Now the San Francisco Call and Bulletin—followed the lead of ANAHEIM GAZETTE That Sadla Fishering will act as Inspector and Ida L.
