XXIV—No. 160 OFFICERS QUIT All Ready for Mardi SAYS SAN QUENTIN FULL OF MEN OUT OF SUNDAY SCHOOL Speaker at Presbyterian Church Last Night Says 58,000,000 People Out of Bible School. That there are 58,000,000 people in the U.S. who do not attend Sunday school and that 27,000,000 of these are under the age of 25 was the statement made last night at the meeting and supper at the First Presbyterian church parlor under the auspices of the Orange-co Sunday school union for the purpose of arousing interest in the state program for cooperation between the churches and the international Sunday school association to bring more boys and girls to Sunday school. Following the supper, which was tendered by the Ladies' Aid society, the speakers were introduced by C. Kittmiller, of Santa Ana, who presided. Rev. Hugh Gibson, state secretary of the International Sunday school association, of Huntington Park, was the first speaker of the evening. He stated most of the men incarcerated in San Quentin admitted they did not stick with the Sunday school. Fun and Merry-Making Will Begin at 7 P.M. Enthused over the prospects for a regular 'way-down-South Mardi Gras celebration, Anaheim was in the throes of pleasant expectancy today for some real fun and merry-making. The ball will start rolling at 7 o'clock when the Anaheim Elks band will gather in front of the city hall and give a number of musical renditions with which to call the merry-makers from the four corners of the city and out of town to witness something novel in the way of entertainment in So Cal. For this will be the first Mardi Gras celebration in the history of Anaheim and should attract much attention because a mode of celebration is like a society 'girl'—it is most fascinating when making its debut. Throngs of joy-seekers in costumes, gay and grotesque, will present a multi-colored veneer of vivacity that one could hardly expect outside of N'Orleans, Memphis, or Galveston, and will bring new laurals to the already laurel-bedecked brow of the band members. Amid strains of stirring music the parade which will be one of the principal features of the occasion will form at the city hall and march west on Center-st to Los Angeles-st, north two blocks and back, south two DETAILS SUCCESS CITY Full Report Sale Fuller report shipment of letter from San as announced Dealer anecd Angles paper out the success The tabul lemons in the celved today dillands of the Lemon Assn. indicates numb brand and cumms of date hauled, loaded condition color age of decay of selling par The full rever on oranges until Monday. With the telegram: "Do attendance at Following the supper, which was tendered by the Ladies Aid society, the speakers were introduced by G. Kitzmiller, of Santa Ana, who presided. Rev. Hugh Gibson, state secretary of the International Sunday school association, of Huntington Park, was the first speaker of the evening. He stated most of the men incarcerated in San Quentin admitted they did not stick with the Sunday school or they would not have been there. He had been a juvenile officer for several years but was called back into Sunday school work by the realization of the vast opportunity in this work educationally among the young people. The religious teachings of a child, he pointed out, are left by the home to the Sunday school, a shame upon the American home life. Boys and girls under the age of 18 are far more easily reached than those past this age, he stated. Therefore, it is better to conduct the Sunday school campaign to get in touch with boys and girls of this age. He paraphrased the statement of the Catholic: "Give me a child until he is eight years old then you may have him—he'll always remain a Catholic." to "Give me a child until he reaches this age, then you may take him—his religious teachings will not forsake him." He stated that in his district, which includes So. Cal., and two counties of Nevada, two more persons are needed to direct Sunday school work. He saluted attention to the fact that the moving picture shows are the greatest educational force outside the public schools and the press and that these can be made harmful or uplifting, as we chose. He urged a campaign for the clean-up of the motion picture shows. W. G. Cline, of Los Angeles, treasurer of the state association, was present and talked on Sunday school work from a business man's point of view. Thomas V. Ellizey, representative of the international Sunday school association, stated that Cal.'s greatest resource is not her oil nor her gold nor her agricultural products, but her youth and childhood. He urged that those be given the proper guidance and protection. "Civilization is doomed," he declared. "unless the youth and childhood of America are won to Christianity. Business men everywhere realize that conditions must change and an adequate program must be built that must be co-extensive with the secular program. Boys and girls now receive only 24 hours of religious teaching a year against 750 hours a year in training the mind." Three hundreds dollars was raised for state work. The Anaheim district Sunday school convention will be held at Orange March 8. BIG MOVIE STARS AT EBELL BENEFIT There will be a first class program at the entertainment for the benefit of disabled soldiers at the Fullerton high school auditorium next Wednesday night under the auspices of the Fullerton Ebell club and Fullerton Post of the American Legion.

RAYMOND ADKINSON COACH AT SANTA ANA Raymond Adkinson, for years a star athlete of So. Cal., has been appointed director of physical education and coach of track events for Santa Ana high school. He takes the place of Kenneth Robbins, who has resigned. The appointment of Adkinson is of a good deal more than passing interest. He was born and reared in the county. He became a high school athlete of prominence when going to high school. After graduating from Santa Ana high school in 1914, Adkinson went to Pomona College, where he graduated in 1918. When in Pomona, Adkinson was known as one of the best long distance runners on the Pacific coast. He still holds the So. Cal. record, one minute and 56 seconds, for the half-mile. Adkinson's duties at the high school in addition to coaching the track team, include the direction of the physical training of more than 500 boys of the high school.

Woodruff, of the Woodruff-Henegan Co. department store at Brea, went to the Los Angeles-co hospital this afternoon to quiz Harry Allen, highwayman, who was wounded while holding up F. Wolf, motorman of a one-man P. E. car at Pasadena last night. At the hospital it was found that the suffering bandit was wearing a suit taken in the sky-light robbery of the Woodruff-Henegan Co. store Wednesday night. The officers wanted to see what other information Allen could give them about the Brea robbery and if possible disclose the other one or two bandits who participated. Allen boarded the car No. 372 at the end of the Lamanda Park line at 8:45 p.m. He jabbed a gun into the ribs of Wolfe.

PEETE CASE TAKEN BY JURY AT 11:45 BULLETIN LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.—At 4:30 the Peete jury was still out. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.—The case of Mrs. Louise Peete, on trial for the murder of Jacob C. Denton, was placed in the hands of the jury by Superior Judge Willis today at 11:45 o'clock. Preceding the final phase of the trial, Dist. Atty. Woolwine concluded his argument and endeavored to shatter the claims of the defense. Comparing the accused woman to "Bluebeard Watson," who was drawn by an irresistible impulse to the grave of one of his victims, and branding her as "wicked" because of her lack of emotion, Woolwine played the prisoner. Speaking with fiery eloquence he made an unsparing attack on Mrs. Peete and demanded the infliction of the death penalty. The district attorney held the little baby shoes which Denton bought for his infant and which Mrs. Peete gave away, before the eyes of the jurors, and declared that her stoical poise showed her to be guilty of the crime. "When Frances Denton said she had often held them it was the most knew her father's hands because she pathetic thing that has happened in the court room," said Woolwine.

REVIVAL MEETINGS AT SALEM CHURCH A series of revival meetings will begin Feb. 13th at the Salem Evangelical church, Rev. E. L. Weather-wax of Torrence, Calif., will be in charge. These services are open to the public, and a cordial invitation. Allen boarded the car No. 372 at the end of the Lamanda Park line at 8:45 p.m. He jabbed a gun into the ribs of Wolfe. As he lifted Wolfe's watch from his pocket the highwayman chided the conductor about his "baby buggy" and said he felt like pushing it off the track. Allen reached for the conductor's pocketful of nickels. But the good name of the conductor's one-man car had been assailed. Wolfe lost his temper. He knocked the highwayman's gun to the floor and brot his own gun into action. When the smoke of battle had lifted, the Pasadena police arrived and found the conductor of the one-man car sitting on top of the unconscious highwayman. Wolfe's gun had bored an ugly hole thru the highwayman's left thigh, breaking his leg. LOSES MACHINE BUT GETS PAWN TICKET "Love at first sight might hold good in some cases but it apparently miscarried in this instance." So declared Justice of the Peace Cox after hearing and dismissing the case of Juan Hernandez, of Los Angeles, charged by his former wife, Carlotta, with having appropriated for his own use an auto which they purchased jointly. Mrs. Hernandez was granted an interlocutory decree of divorce by Superior Judge Williams. This decree orders Hernandez to pay $25 per month toward the support of Mrs. Hernandez. Not satisfied with a decree alone, Mrs. Hernandez brot a charge against her husband that he was driving an auto to which he had no just title. District Attorney A. P. Nelson told Justice Cox no jury would convict the man under existing circumstances. He explained that the pair had bought the machine jointly after the woman had persuaded him to trade his Ford for a more expensive model. And inasmuch as he had sacrificed his Ford, Hernandez concluded that he had a right to drive the new machine. Just before Hernandez was brot into court Justice Cox asked Mrs. Hernandez how long she had known her divorced husband before she married him and she answered that she had known him seven days. She said it was a case of love at first sight. When Hernandez came in he was asked the same question and he also said seven days, and in the same breath he declared that he had been too hasty. Hernandez had been seated on a bench in Justice Cox's court for about five minutes before his disqualification from office. REVIVAL MEETINGS AT SALEM CHURCH A series of revival meetings will begin Feb. 13th at the Salem Evangelical church. Rev. E. L. Weatherwax of Torrence, Calif., will be in charge. These services are open to the public, and a cordial invitation is extended to all to attend. Tomorrow Rev. F. H.

FOUR N. M. CONVICTS ESCAPE... SANTA FE, N. M., Feb. 5.—The escape of four convicts from the state penitentiary, located at this city, became known today. Just before Hernandez was brot into court Justice Cox asked Mrs. Hernandez how long she had known her divorced husband before she married him and she answered that she had known him seven days. She said it was a case of love at first sight. When Hernandez came in he was asked the same question and he also said seven days, and in the same breath he declared that he had been too hasty. Hernandez had been sent on a bench in Justice Cox's court for about five minutes before his divorced wife ever looked at him. And when Justice Cox dismissed the case, she suddenly turned in and in her native tongue, Spanish, she broke forth in a verbal barrage directed at her husband. Hernandez claimed that his former wife was calling him vile names, but Charles C. Carrillo, interpreter, told Justice Cox that Mrs. Hernandez wanted a receipt for a diamond ring which he had pawned to make a payment on the car. After some searching thru his pockets, Hernandez produced the receipt and handed it over to his former wife. She seemed satisfied as soon as this was handed to her and with a friend hurriedly left the court room. Justice Cox then told Hernandez that he would let him go if he would promise not to harm the woman. For she had told Justice Cox in the beginning that she did not want him released for fear that he would beat her. Hernandez promised not to bother her and said that he would go back to Los Angeles and seek a job. He says he is a barber.
