Accused of the murder of a white man and his daughter, an Arkansas negro was tied to a stake and burned by a mob which took him from a jail in Mississippi. Here is one more ghastly indictment of the mob spirit. Every time there is a lynching anywhere in the U.S., condemnation of such mob outbreaks should ring out, all up and down the land. This denunciation should not be made a sectional matter. If lynchings occur in California, condemn them just, as strongly as they occurred in Arkansas or Mississippi. State or sectional boundaries have nothing to do with determining the quality of this mob menace. It is a menace and it is wholly without warrant, wherever the venting of deadly passion may occur. But these furious killings, while wholly without justification, yet point to defects which should be remedied promptly in the administration of justice thru the courts of the land. The delay and the uncertainty in meting out punishment to those guilty of atrocious crimes give excuse to the mob to circumvent the orderly processes of law by indulging in lynching. This weakness in the orderly dispensing of justice should be removed. This should be done, not to cater to the mob element, but as the proper evolution and betterment of the ways and means of ad- DR.

The legislative recess, in this state is designed to raise the people time and opportunity to study and digest the measures presented in the opening weeks of the legislative session. By far the most important measure before the legislature, and in effect, before the people is that which has to do with reorganization of the state government and providing ways and means for raising taxes. The administration measure, under spirited attack of the legislature, failed to pass. During the recess this measure is before the people. Its friends, headed by Governor Stephens, and its enemies will canvass the state, pro and con. The people thus will be enabled to hear the proposal discussed at all angles. The printed text of the administration measure and of other proposals not in agreement with it, will be before the people. The masses have their chance to arrive at intelligent conviction. They should improve this chance and should let legislators know how they stand. The Village Gossip Something out of the ordinary in finger prints was discovered by Deputy Sheriff Charles Holbrook, finger print expert in the office of Sheriff C. E. Jackson, when he made impressions of the finger prints of Claude T. Waltman, who is serving a six months' sentence in the county jail. Waltman was arrested and convicted in Los Angeles by federal authorities on a charge of peddling drugs. He was sent to Santa Ana because the Los Angeles tolls were filled to over all the fingers, but nothing but sure would make a fugitive.

E. Jackson, when he made impressions of the finger prints of Claude T. Waltman, who is serving a six months' sentence in the county jail. Waltman was arrested and convicted in Los Angeles by federal authorities on a charge of peddling drugs. He was sent to Santa Ana because the Los Angeles jails are filled to overflowing and room could not be found for him. Waltman claims to be a newspaper writer by profession. The peculiar trait in his finger prints is that every ridge or groove, in other words the fine lines in the tips of the thumb and fingers, form a perfect arch, not only in one finger but in all of his eight fingers and two thumbs. This is exceptional; according to Holbrook, who has been engaged in identification bureaucracy for several years. "Most fingerprints," said Holbrook, "show a mixture of whirls and arches on the different fingers of one man, and sometimes a conglomeration of the 16 different types of patterns which we have classified."

LOUIS DANZ "THINK OF MUSIC" ANAHEIM THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Much Interest In Legion Athletic Program The athletic entertainment to be given under the auspices of the American Legion Thursday night beginning at 8:30 o'clock sharp at the new Lamb building on West Center-st, will be featured by a wrestling match between Dummy West, recently of Brooklyn who has been in Cal. about a month, and "Bull" Montana. The two met at Ontario recently. West got the first fall and Bull the second. Bull was disqualified by repeatedly using the Missouri kick. Much interest is being displayed in the bout because of the way the recent match turned out and the American Legion post officials think themselves lucky to have "landed" these two wrestlers for the entertainment here. Tickets are on sale at the United Cigar store and advance sales indicate a packed house. The Legion officials especially urge women to attend. "Bull" Montana is so well known here as to need no introduction. West has wrestled with the best wrestlers of his day including Lewis, Williams, Zobisko, Craddock and Stecher. It was in a wrestling match with Stecher that he burst his car-drums, causing deafness, and winning the title of "Dummy." According to his promoters, he is the only man who bears a reputation of being both a fighter and a wrestler. The preliminaries will include interesting exhibitions of jiu jutsu by Japanese.

SAYS RANCHERS LET SLIP OPPORTUNITY Due to "sleeping at the switches" and not gobbling up the attractive lease offered by R. W. Edens of Fullerton, representing a number of companies, the "golden opportunity" of a one-sixth royalty and $10 an acre rental has slipped from the people of the vicinity of Stanton, it was stated today at the office of the Franz Reality Co., responsible for Mr. Edens and his company becoming interested in the Stanton vicinity. A geologist made a survey of the vicinity and reported unfavorably, saying that no oil strata could be traced beyond the old bed of the Santa Ana river and that it is only a wildcat territory. As a result no company will be likely to accept a lease with a royalty of more than one-eighth. Billy Franz stated today. However, two reliable companies are interested in Cypress News Items CYPRESS, Feb. 1.—(Spl)—The real work of organizing our land owners into one large unit is under way. We have had much wild-cat ing, lease grabbing propaganda shot at us but the present work aloft going on very quietly appears to be meeting with the approval of most of the larger land owners. There was a sort of frenzy prevailed for a time in which the people that they should have great bonuses right from the start, but the dream is over. The grim reality that it costs money to drill oil wells and that no responsible company will come in for a little ten, 20 or 100 acre lease has at last come to be understood by most of the good people. The Doheny interests have favorable reports from their experts and have submitted three different forms of leases. It would appear that they are anxious to try out this section if a suitable acreage can be obtained. The last lease calls for 1000 acres which is over half subscribed so far. It is that that there will be little trouble in obtaining the desired amount. With the tremendous activity in oil development at the present time, it is hot by those on the inside that there will be a lull in the development of new fields in the near future. It is to our advantage if we get in while the going is good. There is to be a meeting of the land owners in the Cypress district in the near futeret o discuss the proposition more fully. It is hope dall will attend. The date will be announced later. The farmers are taking on new life. The rains are coming just right slow and easy. The pessimists have departed and we have in their stead a bunch of optimists. The Cypress school boys with the aid of some of the Centralia boys succeeded in defeating the strong Los Alametos school team in a game of baseball last Friday afternoon. The Los Alametos boys are ball players and are capable of making any team in the county go some to defeat them. The same teams will play again next Friday. Mr. J. H. Hudson is improving with the aid of radium treatments. Mr. Hudson is suffering from cancer of the wrestling match with Stecher that he burst his car-drums, causing deafness, and winning the title of "Dummy." According to his promoters, he is the only man who bears a reputation of being both a fighter and a wrestler. The preliminaries will include interesting exhibitions of jiu jutsu by Japanese. NATIONAL Y. M. C. A. LEADER HERE FEB. 21 Members of Y. M. C. A. clubs of Orange-co were interested today in the announcement of the secretaries that Dr. John Brown Jr., of New York, head of the physical training department of the National Assn., would be in Santa Ana Monday, Feb. 21, and that his visit would be made the occasion for a campfire meeting on the evening of that date. Dr. Brown is a man of national reputation and he is coming to the coast to attend the Y. M. C. A. state convention in Riverside, Feb. 11, 12 and 13. Announcement of his visit and of the campfire meeting was made Saturday night by Secretary George Chessum at the dinner meeting of group leaders held in James' gold room. It is proposed to hold the campfire meeting on the bank of the Santa Ana river near the Orange-co hospital, providing that rain does not interfere. Arrangements will be made with a group of church ladies to put up box lunches for those who will attend and it is the expectation of the three secretaries of the county organization that there will be a large attendance of members of the clubs of the older boys. Leaders of the clubs were advised that the secretaries must know not later than Feb. 19 just how many members of each club plan to attend so that box lunches may be prepared for them. Mr. C. Burns and P. Tucker of Santa Ana were visitors in Anaheim last evening.

As a result no company will be likely to accept a lease with a royalty of more than one-eighth, Billy Franz stated today. However, two reliable companies are interested in the community at a one-eighth royalty provided there can be obtained a lease of 1,000 acres or more and the office of the Franz Realty Co. will be open at all times to those who may wish to sign up for this proposition, Franz stated today. The lease will be directly with the oil company. 42 COMPLETE EXAMS FROM JUNIOR H. S. The 8-A class of the Anaheim junior high school have completed "exam" and those who pass will enter the high school a week from next Monday. There are 42 in the class but the fate of all has not yet been decided. OPPOSES CITY NEWSPAPERS The church bulletin of Santa Ana First Methodist church, has the following brief paragraph, worthy of wide consideration: "Is it wise or safe to take the average city daily newspaper with its colored news, and mqral slush and picturization of crime, into our Christian homes? It is certainly not good reading for the growing boy and girl, and it is of extremely doubtful value to the mature adult. Are we not paying too big a price morally for the "news?" Can your family afford it? With the more refractively clean and local press, and the many clean digests of news—in the city daily essential in the Christian home?" VIOLATE PARKING LAW T. Lotros, H.
