NOT SO KEEN ABOUT WORKING 300 MILES FROM CIVILIZATION A B. Andrade Says Calif. Looks Mighty Good After Year in Colombia. So Amer. Talk of moonlit natral skies, Of jungle wild and dense. Wherein wait a savage bovy lies. And with strange feelings one is tense. Sing of spectral tropical forests, Where livid fire-files fill the night. The soul feels sensations barrowest, Thrilled, trembling, filled with fright. Ah, shut up. It ain't half as thrilling as it sounds, and this will be backed up by A B. Andrade, son of M F. Andrade, deputy marshal, who arrived home last night after a year's absence in the wilds of Colombia, South America, where he was employed by the Grannada Oil Corp., which is drilling 300 miles from civilization, up the Magdalena river. Mr. Andrade spent a year in the wilds and declares he is glad to get back to civilization, and particularly the gem of the greatest nation in the world—California. He said this morning he is willing to go to work here anywhere and that he is not quite sure but that he has followed the call of the wild as much as he desires and that he will spend the remainder of his life in California.

MAN STILL I THO FREE Altho found not by a jury which trii perior Judge William M. Titus, alias Jam still in the county ing the arrival of a authorities of San him with a similar by the Grannada Oil Corp., which is drilling 300 miles from civilization, up the Magdalena river. Mr. Andrade spent a year in the wilds and declares he is glad to get back to civilization, and particularly the gem of the greatest nation in the world—California. He said this morning he is willing to go to work here anywhere and that he is not quite sure but that he has followed the call of the wild as much as he desires and that he will spend the remainder of his life in California. There are only three producing farms in Colombia the company which he was working as driller is sure of bringing in more soon. However, he admitted that the field in which he has been working is an unproven field. It is about 15 days' journey from the U.S. and can be reached only by small river boats up the Magdalene, being 300 miles from the nearest Colombian town, save the small Indian villages. There is good shooting including wild turkeys, birds of various kinds and deer. It rains nearly all the time, causing the jungles to become extremely lush. There are two rainy seasons and they extend over the whole year with the exception of about three months, and it even rains once in a while during the dry season. Naturally there are a lot of mosquitoes and, unless necessary precautions are taken, screening and water filtration, the climate is unhealthful to white men. However, if one will take the necessary precautions all will be well. The days are hot and the nights cool. Business conditions in the Colombian cities are good and the cost of living there is higher than here, he said. The Colombians are courteous to one's face, the they do not harbor any great love for Americans because of the action of America in the Panama rebellion in 1805. Theango is both hated and feared. He declared, however, that no part of the jungles surprised him, expressing fairly well. Speaking of agricultural possibilities of the country, he stated they were among the best in the world, since the jungle land is extremely fertile, and the plains away from the jungles are adapted to cattle raising. That is the land of the "wild and wooly west" in this modern day, he said. In one place he saw a herd of 7000 cattle in one drove tended by Colombian cowboys. The cattle are chiefly of the long-horned variety. The people are the most cheerful liars in the world tho. he averred. He left the oil camp on the upper Magdalena river Dec. 29, and spent a week seeing the Canal Zone. "I thor probably I might never pass that way again and I'd better see all I could," he said. OKLA.

Titus, alias James H. Gordon, was still in the county jail today awaiting the arrival of a warrant from the authorities of San Diego charging him with a similar offense. Gordon was tried on a charge of having burglarized the home of Mr. and Mrs. Crist Haas, 503 E. Broadway, Anheim, Dec. 1. Upon instructions of Judge Williams to the jury he was found not guilty. Judge Williams so instructed the jury after Lieut. J. A. Lopez of the San Diego police department testified that he told the defendant, following his arrest in that city, that it would be better for him to tell the police just what he knew about the burglary. Upon this admission on the part of the officer Judge Williams raided that this coaxing constituted an inducement for the defendant to admit his guilt and that it excluded a confession. Judge Williams said that under the circumstances he could do nothing else but order a verdict of not guilty. The jury then returned such a verdict without leaving the box. Stolen silverware which had been brot into the court room as evidence was identified by Mr. and Mrs. Haas as theirs. Judge Williams permitted them to take the silverware, which, according to Mr. Haas, was given to the couple 50 years ago as a wedding present. Deputy Dist. Atty. A. N. Mozeley who conducted the prosecution said there is no doubt in his mind as to the guilt of Gordon. SAYS NATION MUST STUDY BIBLE MORE "The most important building material for the U.S. today is its children," declared Thomas V. Ellizzy, a business man of Texas, in an address before the Santa Ana Kiwanis club. Ellizzy, who is here in the interest of Bible school work, said he deplored the lack of religious education and declared that if the U.S. continued as it now it would be "only a matter of time when the nation will go on the rocks," making the point that no nation can endure where the foundation is not based on the teachings of Christ. He declared that there are 58,000-000 Christian illiterates in the U.S. and that of that number 27,000,000 are under the age of 25 years. He said that there are 350,000 boys and girls in So. Cal. who are not being given proper religious training. They are receiving head education but their heart education is being neglected, according to his assertion. "Intelligence does not make a man good," said the speaker, and he referred to the German empire, as well as to America. The Ebell club and American Legion posts of Anaheim, Brea and Fullerton extend an invitation to all comrades in and out of the legion and especially to the general public to attend an absolutely free entertainment at the Fullerton high school auditorium Wednesday evening.

SILKS STOLEN IN FRESNO-CO, CLAIM City Marshal Sam Jernigan of Santa Ana has received word from the Los Angeles police department that a large quantity of silk goods and women's wearing apparel found in the possession of Arturo Ramerez and Alexandro Cassanova, arrested in Santa Ana Jan. 7, had been identified as stollen from C.T. Walker, proprietor of a department store at Kingsbur, Fresno-co. The burglary, according to Walker, occurred Nov. 8. Fast. On Dec. 8.$600 worth of other goods was stolen from the same store and the two Mexicans are also suspected of this "job." The two prisoners, who are in the Los Angeles-co jail in default of $500 ball each, were arrested by Patrolman Claud Rogers of Santa Ana when they rauto, in which they were alleged to have concealed a quantity of liquor and the stolen silk, became stalled. Rogers was helping the two men show their car to the side of the street when he happened to land them out to Anaheim school children. Local business firms have offered the following prizes: Girls—B. Hartfield, jeweler, a gold bar pin to girl collecting most money; Anaheim Pharmacy, a kodak alum for next best collection; New Fairland Theatre, a pass good for one month to next best. Boys—Heying Pharmacy, a Pockit Ben to Boy by boy collecting most money; Weadon's Confectionery, a $2 box of chocolates for next best; New Fairland, a pass good for one month to next best collection. A matinee pass good only Feb. 5th will be given to all who collect $2 or more. Here are some of the commendations given by the late Theodore Roosevelt: "Your volunteer work does not exist in theory; it is with us in practice. I have the greatest admiration for the work you are doing. It lilies my warmest sympathy because it aims, and successfully so, to uplift men to a higher standard of moral and civil life and teaches them the blessing of self-help." "The Volunteers of America is a national organization, incorporated in the state of California and organized in 1896 under the leadership of General and Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth," said Mrs. Trenna B. Wright, one of the field representatives, today. "It conducts homes for needy women and children, does general relief work, has missions, working men's homes, employment bureaus, industrial departments, prison work, home visitation, interstate employment, Americanization classes, Bible schools and numerous other activities that tend to elevate. "It reaches and will continue to reach into any locality where there is opportunity to save future citizens. There are 85,000 men inside of America's state prisons today and 170,000 destitute outside." Is there a cause in our state more worthy of interest and benevolence? It is not palliative; it is constructive: It is tiding over the family while in its greatest financial and social disgrace. It is rescuing children from bad environment. It is giving them a chance. "I hope the people of Orange-co will fully appreciate the work the organization is doing and be liberal in their response to the efforts to secure financial aid." RILEY ANNOUNCES C.O.F.C.DIRECTORS Chairmen of various standing committees for the year were announced at the weekly meeting of C.O.F.C.directors today at which whole board was present, as well as Messrs Adams, Ross Jackson, Camp and La Monte.

Davenport, 21, a drug clerk. Detectives making the arrest say that Davenport has been making a living by ordering druggist supplies by telephone from the Los Angeles wholesale house, using the name of firms he knew to have accounts with the company. He would request that the order be left at a stage office to be called for. He, according to the authorities, would then call for the package and convert the contents to his personal use.

Dance at Olive Saturday Night! The burglary, according to Walker, occurred Nov. 8, Fast. On Dec. 8, $600 worth of other goods was stolen from the same store and the two Mexicans are also suspected of this "job." The two prisoners, who are in the Los Angeles-co jail in default of $600 ball each, were arrested by Patrolman Claud Rogers of Santa Ana when their rauto, in which they were alleged to have concealed a quantity of liquor and the stolen silk, became stalled.

Jernigan said today that federal authorities would press the liquor charge against the two Mexicans. PRISONER WEAKENS, ADMITS DESERTION Deputy Sheriff Theo. Lacy, in charge of the county jail, today awaited receipt of a telegram from the navy department relative to the disposition of Macy Wahn, alias Robert Macy, 24, arrested in Santa Ana by Constable Jesse Elliott and Officer Frank Stewart. Upon receipt of information from a confidential source Constable Elliott trailed Macy. Later the suspect was arrested on a charge of vagrancy and closely questioned by City Marshal Sam Jernigan and Constable Elliott. Macy appeared extremely nervous and the officers suspicioned that something was wrong. The man was jailed on the vagrancy charge and Deputy Sheriff Holbrook proceeded to take his finger prints. At this point the prisoner finished and told Holbrook that he was a deserter from the navy and that, there was no use in taking his finger prints. Lacy was expecting a federal officer to call today and take charge of the prisoner, who will probably be courtmartialed. ANNUAL A. U. W. MEETING SAT.

Yungbluth Finds Buyer Who Will Go Thru With Improvements. Encouraged by City. The Kroeger-bldg, which has stuck out onto the sidewalk in the Center-st business district like a sore thumb for the last five years—ever since other buildings were pulled back to the new, wider building line, is finally to be corrected with a fine, modern front, it was believed today, following a conference last night between F. A. Yungbluth and the city council. Yungbluth has worked tirelessly to make this improvement. He was one of the original sponsors for the wider street and the principal promoter in carrying it thru. He has started first one project and then another throughout the five years to get the big project entirely completed and within the last three months has been particularly active. His plan has been to negotiate the sale of the block to someone who was able and willing to proceed with the improvement. Last night he informed city councilmen he believed finally he had lined up someone who would take it over and install a modern front if the city council would make good on a recent proposition to pay half the cost of the improvement. The council went into a star chamber session with Yungbluth, the results of which were not divulged, but it was believed today that the project would be carried thru. Yungbluth and the council believe that if the Kroeger-bldg can be cor- AMENDED COMPLAINT AGAINST SAUNDERS The city has filed an amended complaint in the suit against Walter Saunders, charged with operating a garage outside the garage zone.

B. Kern and the Ideal pool hall. A new angle to the case developed upon the return of L. Durrett, well-known really man, who has been out of the city to find that his name had been used by another man in endorsing Hampton's checks. Hampton was accompanied to Kern's store and the ideal pool hall Saturday night when the checks for $25 each were passed by this man who presented himself as Durrett. Upon the discovery or this forgery Kern threatened to press charges against the man but he made good the checks and the matter is being held in abeyance. It is said the man attempted to use Durrett's name in stating the case against Hampton at the district attorney's office where, however, Durrett was known and the trick stopped. "I was considerably surprised when I returned to Anaheim yesterday from a trip out of town, to find that my name had been used in endorsing what appears to be fictitious checks," said Mr. Durrett today. "I immediately visited Mr. Kern, who, of course, realized that I was not the man who appeared at his store with Hampton Saturday night."

LAOYD GEORGE IN THREAT TO LEAVE PARIS, Jan. 28—Premier Lloyd George has tendered an ultimatum to the French that he will withdraw from the inter-allied conference and return to London unless the French change their views on German indemnity before tomorrow.

Racing alongside the train, Officer Jennings grabbed the coat of one of the bandits as he clung to the side of the train and narrowly escaped being thrown beneath the wheels as the bandit jerked loose. The train finally was halted but the bandit trio disappeared in the darkness on the opposite side of the cars before they could be surrounded. The drug store, which is on the main street of Pomona, was brilliantly lighted as the leader of the bandits entered and requested Perisol to fill a prescription.
