COMMISSION Despite the demand of the state railway commission that California phone companies desist from charging phone rates as scheduled by the federal commission, which in many cases, local phone officials had received no orders up to today to heed the railway commission's order. Using Federal Rates Long distance calls Friday were being made on the basis of the federal rates. While the former rate to Los Angeles was 20¢, including war tax, the present rate is 30 cents for a station to station call and 35 cents for a person to person call. The phone officials take the attitude that the public has been enjoying too much service for the money.

For year Los Angeles was $0. including war tax, the present rate is 30 cents for a station to station call and 35 cents for a person to person call. The phone officials take the attitude that the public has been enjoying too much service for the money.

Former calls were three minutes with additional charge per minute. The present person to person call also is limited to three minutes. $35 THANK OFFERING The regular meeting of the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church was held yesterday afternoon in the parlors of the church, and the ladies accomplished a good amount of work.

For years he has been forced to put up with absent or incompetent labor on Monday and Tuesday, after the regular Saturday night and Sunday debaunch: Then about Wednesday each week, it was: "Mr. Kelly, will you advance me a few dollars to pay my grocer bill?" The first Wednesday after Jan. 1 Kelly said: "Well, boys, want some money? No," they replied; "we've got plenty of money," and they rattled in their jeans with a grin. The next thing was: "Could we get off a little while and go up town and start a bank count?" "I'll go you better than that," said Kelly. "Walt until after lunch and I'll take you in." For three weeks now, four of Kelly's men have been depositing $12 each every seven days in an Anahein bank. A Mexican with a bank account? Does prohibition pay?

A. testament dropped on the battlefield by her son, has just been received by Mrs. Edna Dicklow, of Santa Ana. It was forwarded by Private Geo. Evans of Bennett, Utah, and had it not been that Mrs. Dicklow had received letters from her son before the mail brought the testament, she would have come to the conclusion that her son had been killed.

OR USED GARMENTS Los Angeles Street, phone 508 WITHDRAW PETITION In withdrawing its application for a franchise for running freight trucks on Orange-co highways, the Pacific Highway Express declares a measure is to be introduced into Congress aiming to turn over all main highways to federal control. There may or may not be a peeved tone to the letter received by the board of supervisors. The letter stated there was opposition in a number of cities and counties to grant the necessary franchises, and the petitioner said it did not have time to work out the political corners necessary to get the franchises, and it was therefore abandoning the project. It was stated that the original plan was partly induced by the government's request that rail transportation be relieved as far as possible all over the country by the use of motor trucks for short hauls. HOLD UP FOX TRIAL For the fourteenth time Wednesday the trial of George A. Fox, accused of embezzling more than $5000 from Mrs. Anna G. Walters, of Anaheim, wealthy owner of an orange grove and other property in Orange county, was continued in the Los Angeles court by Judge Craig. The continuance was taken out of respect to Mrs. Earl Rogers, who died on Monday, and whose husband was attorney of record in the case.

END OF SEWER PLAN The city council adjourned last night without coming to a decision on the question of hiring Attorney Clyde Bishop at $3000 to handle legislation and legal phases of the outfall sewer proposition. The council was to meet again this afternoon at 4-30 in an effort to decide the matter before going into the meeting with representatives of the other interested cities this evening. County Manager Todd of the Southern Counties Gas Co. appeared before council last evening to see if it would be agreeable, in the tearing up of streets for mains, to give a amount in cash.

Work is being rushed on the improvements to the beautiful new display room, offices and warehouse of the Schmidt Music Co., in the Kroger-bldg. The big warehouse at the rear is practically completed. There will be four rooms for demonstrating talking machines and player pianos. A mezzanine balcony above these rooms will provide the offices. The new store is to be known as the Schmidt Music Co. Music Store beautiful. A feature of the establishment will be the artistic decorations and drapes, a professional in such lines having been employed to "cut loose and do it up right." "We are putting here in Anaheim the best music store in Orange-co," says Mr. Louis Danz, advertising manager of the company. "Anahiem deserves it. The business is here. We did more than $9000 worth of business in December. Yesterday we sold three talking machines, a player piano and a piano." BACK TO THE RANCH C. D. Lester, former county auditor, is going back to the ranch, and as a starter has purchased a three and a half acre tract near the corner of North Main and Chapman street, Orange. The acreage is set to walnuts and valencias and has a modern story and a half seven-room bungalow. Lester will make his home on the property and expects to further improve it, although it is in a state of high cultivation today. The place was bought from B. L. Clouser, who takes Lester's home at 1808 North Main-st, Santa Ana. The combined consideration was about $18,000. BUYS TWO RANCHES J. W. Law, who recently came here from Tulsa, Okla., has not been long in recognizing that land investments in Orange-co are the thing, and although he has been here but a few months, he already has acquired two fine ranch properties.

The council said it would be permissible if he would pay for the amending of the ordinance to permit it. He was not authorized last night to guarantee that. Dreyfus Not Ready Councilman Backs reported that he had received a letter from Dreyfus, owner of the S. Q. R-bldg, saying he was not ready to withdraw the front of the building to conform with the new street line. No action was taken. Backs hadn't seen Kroeger regarding improvement to his building. The marshal and superintendent of streets were ordered to look into the erection of Mrs. Resh's ice plant building and a frame building in the rear of what was formerly the Exchange saloon, for which, it was stated, no permits had been granted. Backs recommended no more money be spent on the old city hall building in an effort to fit it up for living apartments for the fire truck driver. The Highway Transportation Co. asked for an extension of time for hearing on its application for franchise. Reckless Boys Reported complaints that small boys were handling guns recklessly in the city limits were referred to Marshal Wood with instructions to make arrests. City Attorney Ames advised against any attempt to prevent operation of higher rates granted by the railroad commission to the Edison company, as proposed in a letter from the Riverside city council. City Engineer Steward was instructed to prepare specifications for City Attorney Ames to adopt in an advertisement for bids on curbing and walk on West Cypress-at between Palm and Citron-sts, which the city has agreed to put in.

Law, who recently came here from Tulsa, Okla., has not been long in recognizing that land investments in Orange-co are the thing, and although he has been here but a few months, he already has acquired two fine ranch properties. Some months ago, and soon after coming here, he purchased the Shaffer tract at Washington and Grand, Santa Ana. This week he bought from Warren Amos eleven acres of six-year-old valencias on Pisentis-bvd, northeast of Anaheim. Law picked the property up because he believed it to be a snap at $18,000. Law was engaged in oil well contracting at Tulsa for a number of years. G.L. BUTTERFIELD DIES Mrs. Z. Bruce and Miss D. Clarke went to Los Angeles yesterday to attend the funeral of G. L. Butterfield, who passed away Sunday. Mr. Butterfield had been in poor health for some time, and for two months had been confined to his bed. Rev. F. W. Mitchell conducted the services.

A registration fee of 1.00 constitutes the only charge for the course. WANTS TO GO IT ALONE Voting of bonds at the coming city election for a soldiers' memorial and public auditorium and for an outfall sewer to be built alone by Santa Ana was suggested at the Santa Ana city council Monday night by G. H. Maryatt. Maryatt has been opposed to the proposed plan of constructing an outfall sewer jointly with Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton. His offer was merely in the form of a suggestion, and was not put in the form of a motion or taken up by any other member of the board and put before the council for action. JUSTICE TIES KNOT Ferdinand George Moos and Miss Georgia A. Courtney, both of Los Angeles, were married Wednesday, the knot being tied by Judge Howard at his office on Los Angeles-st. Mr. and Mrs. E.
