Dr. L. C. Deming was understood to have obtained the consent of McWilliams to desired changes in the form of lease which owners of 300 acres will sign. Deming owns 60 acres. The lease is said to permit the oil company 60 days in which to verify titles and requires drilling to start within 90 days thereafter, which means that an oil derrick may be seen west of Anaheim before July 4. Motion for New Trial Upon Ground of Error LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8—Postponing the sentencing of Mrs. Louise Peete, convicted of the murder of Jacob C. Denton and facing life imprisonment for the crime, Superior Judge Frank R. Willis today set Wednesday, Feb. 16, as the day for the arguments of the attorneys on the defense motion for a new trial. Mrs. Peete and her husband, R.C. Peete, were in the court room when Acting Public Defender Aggeler's demand for another trial of her case delayed the passing of sentence. Aggeler's motion was based on the usual statutory grounds of error in the law of the court, newly discovered evidence and that the verdict is contrary to the law and the evidence in the case. The entire proceedings lasted only a few minutes. A large crowd gathered to see Mrs. Peete taken from the county jail to the court room. Frances Denton, 15-year-old daughter of the slain man, was one of those who attended in the expectation of seeing Mrs. Peete sentenced.

WATER SHIPMENTS GET GREAT BOOST Charles Eygabroad, chairman, has called a meeting tomorrow afternoon in Los Angeles of the special committee of the Cal. Fruit Exchange on foreign shipment of citrus fruit by water. The committee has prepared a thoro report on the proposition since Eygabroad started the ball rolling three weeks and this will be presented tomorrow. Eygabroad is delighted over the success of the recent test shipment of oranges and lemons by water from San Pedro to Philadelphia and believes it will lend great weight toward the plan of inaugurating at an early date trans-Atlantic shipments from San Pedro on a mannoth scale. Referring to the epocal ocean shipment to Philadelphia, Eygabroad says: "We had expected that the fruit would reach Philadelphia in 15 or 16 days. It took three weeks. However, we are fully convinced that with proper arrangements we can get fruit to Atlantic seaboard points just about as quickly as we can by rail. The latter method takes two weeks." "The actual cost, including transportation of the fruit to San Pedro in trucks, and getting the fruit to Philadelphia showed a saving of 33 pct over rail rates. Freight rates have come to be such a big item of expense in marketing our fruit that a saving of 33 pct amounts to a good deal." "We have figures showing that one-fifth of our fruit is marketed now through four ports, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston. We can reach these points by water. Eight thousand carloads a year are disposed of at those four places." INCOME TAX AGENT HERE FEB. 9 AND 10 F. F.

ANAHEIM HAS FIRST HEAD PIN TOURNEY Dugas & Myre, popular Anaheim bowling alley proprietors, in compliance with their policy to make Anaheim the premier bowling city of the Pacific coast, announce that there will be held in Anaheim next Sunday the first "head-pin" tourney ever held in the west. Hearing of the plans for the "head-pin" tourney here, Los Angeles and Long Beach are getting ready to follow suit. But it remains a fact that Anaheim leads the way to this new sport which is so popular in eastern cities. In Cleveland and Toledo, for instance, as many as 5000 bowlers participate. The popularity of the "head-pin" tournament lies in the fact that one bowler has as much chance as another. All that is required is to hit the head-pin. One shot as permitted each frame. All pins obtained when the head-pin is hit count in the score, the total possible, being 120. Thus, star bowlers, accustomed to hooking their curve ball into the wood and piling up big scores on spares and strikes, find themselves no better off than the amateur who can roll it straight down the alley and smash the key pin. The tournament will be held all day and evening next Sunday. Dugas & Myre believe there are 150 men and women bowlers in Anaheim who will join in the tournament. There are no entrance fees. Each participant will be permitted to shoot one game. A long list of prizes has been arranged. The winner here will meet the winners at Long Beach and Los Angeles for championship of the Pacific coast.

"The biggest business men of the country are beginning to realize that the most important question facing the country today is a moral one," declared Thomas V. Ellzey, of Dallas, Texas, at the Kiwanis club luncheon today. Ellzey, who described himself as an every-day cow-puncher and business man, and who is known as one of the live-wire Sunday school workers of the country, described how he had been called to a conference of 22 of the principal business men of the state, recently held at Dallas. "The leader was the chairman of the 11th federal reserve district and the leading financier of the southwest.

PLANNING FOR LENT WITH EARLY EASTER With Easter coming several weeks early this year, March 27, local Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans are preparing for the observance of the Lenten period which begins Ash Wednesday, Feb. 9th.

Tickets are going like hot cakes in a bunch of Bowery kids and still they come, crying for "More tickets! More tickets!" It is too bad that the high school auditorium cannot be stretched to accommodate a larger crowd. The headliners will include Bebe Daniels, movie queen of speed fame in Orange-co., (who ran her car 59 miles an hour to get it to the garage before it broke down); Annette Kellerman, actress, athlete, diving champion and musician; Will Rogers, famous both on the stage and screen as a great rope flinger and man of wit; Kalla Pasha and Hans ANEVERY-DAY COW-PUNCHER AND BUSINESS MAN, WHO IS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE LIVE-WIRE SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS OF THE COUNTRY, DEScribed how he had been called to a conference of 22 of the principal business men of the state, recently held at Dallas. "The leader was the chairman of the 11th federal reserve district and the leading financier of the southwest.

I was informed by the chairman that the object of the meeting was to launch a movement for Christian citizenship by which, within three years, it was hoped to reach and enroll one million people in Texas. Elizzy cited other instances of the awakening of business men towards the needs for Sunday school work which he asserted was the most important thing in the country today. "When you members of the Kiwanis club are looking about for means toward the upbuilding of your city, do not overlook the most important of all building material, Christian citizenship," he declared. Rev. G. R. Messias, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, in an address upon the good of Kilwahis, declared that the troubles of the world today were not political nor economical but moral. Hugh Gibson, secretary of the So. Cal. Sunday School Assn., also a guest with Elizzy, won the attendance prize, a box of hoose presented by A. H. Abhawde, his being the fifth drawn. ADVERTISE FOR OIL LEASE ON H. S. LAND Taking cognizance of the demand for oil lands at Huntington Beach, the trustees of the high school of that city today advertised that bids would be accepted up to 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19, for the privilege of drilling on high school property. The high school owns nearly six acres but trustees will not unnecessarily sacrifice the athletic field, planning to lease only enough for two derricks. Six or seven wells are expected to come in at the Huntington Beach field before the end of the month. The Standard Oil Co. No. 4, the off-set to the Tex-Cal, which came in Sunday, is doing 800 barrels, it was reported today. Of the wells about to come in, the one in which there was the most interest today is the Vista Del Mar, which began drilling thru the cement yesterday.

Local Catholics, Episcopalians and Lutherans are preparing for the observance of the Lenten period which begins Ash Wednesday, Feb. 9th. Only ten times in 121 years has Easter come earlier than this year. In four years during that time, Easter came on the same date on which it will be observed this year. The variation in the date of Easter Sunday is coured by the moon. Strict observance of Lent will start Wednesday with the Catholics. Services will probably consist of two masses in the morning and an evening service. In the Catholic church the Lenten period is observed by daily services. Fasting, prayer and the abolishment of all forms of amusement, and the giving up of all luxuries mark the period. Palm Sunday, the Sunday previous to Easter, and the day which marks the beginning of Holy Week ranks next to Easter, in the extent of religious services. Holy Week, preceding the joyful feast of the Resurrection is marked by most solemn ceremonies and on Good Friday, the day commemorating the cruxification, the church is all in black. At St. Michael's Episcopal church, Rev. G. R. Messias, pastor, regular services during Lent will be held Wednesday evening and Thursday and Friday afternoons. Every Thursday morning at 9:30 the celebration of the Holy Communion will be observed. At Grach Lutheran church beginning Wednesday evening at 7:30. Lenten Meditation will be observed.

Indications are for a big producer is claimed by members of the company who state no more stock is available. This well is 144 miles from the center of Huntington Beach, at Hampshire and Indianapolis-aves. SAYS ANAHEIM MORE RELIGIOUS THAN L. A. The people of Anaheim are more inclined to Christianity and to hospitality than the people of Los Angeles, says Rev. R. W. Tautenhahn, pastor of the German Methodist church who has made a canvass of both places. He said that there are but few places in Anaheim where there is a sign on the doors "No peddlers or solicitors allowed." few "Keep out" or "No Trespassing" signs, while Los Angeles is filled up with such. One gets less harsh answers at the doors of Anaheim residents than at the doors of Los Angeles residents, he said. He stated he saw one sign in Los Angeles, however, that should be adopted not only in Anaheim but everywhere else. That was "Linger long." How much better it is," he stated, "to give people the impression that they are welcome than to give them the impression that they are not wanted." He stated that everyone should be kind to the stranger, because, according to the Word of God, "many have entertained angels unawares." BIGGER FUND FOR R. R. COMMISSION ORDERED MODESTO.

THIEF GETS PISTOL USED IN CIVIL WAR Two revolvers, one of which was carried throughout the Civil War by his father, were stolen from the home of H. Q. Henderson, who resides on the El Retiro ranch, south of Anaheim. He says he values the smaller revolver more as a keepsake than anything else, as it was given to him by his father, a Civil War veteran. Two boys are suspected of the robbery. MID-CENTRAL CEMENTED With Mid-Central well No. 1 on the McFarland lease at Huntington Beach, now standing cemented at 4110, it will be necessary to wait about two weeks before drilling into the oil sands. It is the general opinion among oil men that the Mid-Central is going to be a gusher within the next 100 feet. The bringing in of this well will perhaps mean more to the field than any other independent company since it will prove the northern portion, thus opening territory that will extend the field about two miles.

Stephens. Gov. Wm. G. Stephens reached Orange-co today in his tour of the state to present the administration demands for passage of the corporation tax measure immediately after the legislative recess. The governor's address was given under the auspices of the Santa Ana Rotary club. The meeting was held at St. Ann's Inn with 100 of Santa Ana's representative business men in attendance. Gov. Stephens declared that the corporations are not paying a tax rate in proportion to that carried on lands and other property. He asserted that it was only just that the corporations should bear the 35 pct increase provided in the King bill, as it would equalize the taxes paid by the property holders and that by the corporations. He rebuked the claims that if the tax rate on the corporations is increased, it would be passed on to the public in the way of increased price on service rendered by public utilities. He said that past history had proven that this would not result and in face of the decrease of labor materials there would be no ne MILF CLUB ER INJURED Golf instructor at entry club, was to suffer when he was riding colon Wilshire-blvd Los Angeles.

The most interesting program was that of last Friday, when Lieut-Governor C. C. Young and Senator Arthur Breed spoke on the state corporation measure, recently defeated in the legislature, and which Governor Stephens and the entire administration have sworn to get passed after the recess. Young took the administration's side. North called the measure unfair to the corporations, and came pretty nearly proving his point in a 20-minute talk. The secretaries obtained something like an understanding of this vexed question. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that the public service companies are being taxed enough, due regard being had to the recently unprecedented drain on their gross earnings. Chairman N. D. Darlington, of the State Highway Commission, expounded the proposed law to gain revenue from the charge of one cent a gallon on gasoline and one cent a barrel for crude oil which he provided would go a great way toward keeping the present state highways in repair, with funds already derived from the operation of the Motor Vehicle Law. Colonel Marshall, at the annual dinner same evening, set forth the ideas of the Marshall plan, just now attracting intense interest throughout the state. What the secretaries most benefited by, however, were the discussions pertaining to the organization and other phases of C. of C. work. These embraced membership, community development, farmers' cooperation, cooperative marketing, and the general program of activities fitted to cities of various sizes.

What they called fine weather prevaired, with the exception of a one-day steady down-pour. Otherwise, after the fogs of the morning rose, the bay country looked green and refreshing, and business seems to be going along at a satisfactory clip. Outstanding among the features of the meeting was the great hospitality offered by the city of Oakland and Oakland C. of C. Gene Bowles, of the latter, Manager Caesy of the Hotel Oakland, and Mayor Davie, vied with one another in maximing the secretaries' stay pleasant. The most interesting program was that of last Friday, when Lieut-Governor C. C. Young and Senator Arthur Breed spoke on the state corporation measure, recently defeated in the legislature, and which Governor Stephens and the entire administration have sworn to get passed after the recess. Young took the administration's side. North called the measure unfair to the corporations, and came pretty nearly proving his point in a 20-minute talk. The secretaries obtained something like an understanding of this vexed question. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that the public service companies are being taxed enough, due regard being had to the recently unprecedented drain on their gross earnings. Chairman N. D. Darlington, of the State Highway Commission, expounded the proposed law to gain revenue from the charge of one cent a gallon on gasoline and one cent a barrel for crude oil which he provided would go a great way toward keeping the present state highways in repair, with funds already derived from the operation of the Motor Vehicle Law. Colonel Marshall, at the annual dinner same evening, set forth the ideas of the Marshall plan, just now attracting intense interest throughout the state. What the secretaries most benefited by, however, were the discussions pertaining to the organization and other phases of C. of C. work. These embraced membership, community development, farmers' cooperation, cooperative marketing,andthe general program of activities fitted to cities of various sizes.

LAND Trustees of the San Juan high school district today filed suit at Santa Ana against the Union Trust & Sawligna bank of Los Angeles to condemn five acres at San Juan for high school purposes. The trustees maintain the bank is holding the land at too high a price. It is one of the few instances when it has been necessary to condemn land in Cal. for school purposes. Dr. C. W. Harvey has moved his license temporarily to his residence E. Alberta.
