There are now 23 states where credit is given for this kind of work. Among the cities which have been signally successful with the plan are Malden, Denison, Gary, Ind.; Van Wert, Ohio; and Evanston, Ill. The project has the endorsement of the International Sunday School Assn. Wherever it has been tried out Jews and Catholics have joined with the protestants, an indication of its non-denominational appeal. Commissioner Wood of the Calif. Board of Education is understood to be in sympathy with the plan which will be launched by the Sunday School Assn of Cal. This association came to Dr. Geissinger with the suggestion that it be tried out in Anaberg. Dr. Geissinger asked that Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton be included with Anaheim in the experiment. At a meeting of Orange-co ministers this week at Santa Ana, called to form a ministerial association, a committee of nine ministers was appointed to investigate the plan. It has already been endorsed by Anaheim Sunday school workers. The ministerial committee will probably arrange for a series of dinners in the various cities of the county when the plan will be explained and details worked out. The Malden plan provides for the employment of a superintendent known as director of religious education. In each community operating under it a corps of religious instructors is organized. The work is in connection with the public schools and is entirely non-denominational. The full purpose is to give children better instruction in religious matters and is not in the interest of any particular church. In Orange-co it is proposed to adopt the plan in four cities: Santa Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton. The work will be supported by voluntary contributions or by various churches assuming the proportionate costs. It is not expected that the plan can be put in operation before the opening of school after the summer vacation, as it will require several months to work out preliminary details and make them applicable to the local schools. The women's clubs of Los Angeles have approached the Sunday School association of that county with reference to introducing religious instruction. It is understood that school boards in some communities have offered to co-operate in the movement.

Weatherwax preached a splendid sermon to a large crowd at the revival meeting last evening at the Salem Evangelical church. His subject for this evening will be "Jesus Christ, the Churches' Sanctifier." On Sunday morning at the German services, the pastor, Rev. F. H. Doescher, will have charge, but Rev. Weatherwax will preach at the English service. In the afternoon at 2:30 Rev. Doescher will preach. The evening service at 7:30 will be in charge of the evangelist. Unless something unforeseen occurs, this will be the last week of the meetings. Everyone is cordially invited to attend. Let the church be filled at all services on Sunday. Former Parishioners To Hear Dr. Geissinger At the Sunday morning service at the Methodist White Temple, there will be present a delegation from the University Methodist church, Los Angeles, which is a former pastorate of Dr. Geissinger. There will be ten in the party. Following the services they will be dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Chas McCullah.

It was thought it might be necessary to pay $2000 for detailed plans for the 20 acres. The tract now contains four houses and four acres of Valencias, four of navels and ten of sweets.

It was thought it might be necessary to pay $2000 for detailed plans for the 20 acres. The tract now contains four houses and four acres of Valencias, four of navels and ten of sweets. It was suggested last night that the four houses be moved onto the present auto camp grounds on Cypress-st and sold off. One might be retained for use of the park caretaker. City Manager Steward expressed the opinion that a number of diseased citrus trees should be chopped out at once and the remainder fumigated, spraying having been the only precaution against citrus pests in recent years. Councilman Gates thought that the southeast corner of the park, at Cypress and Lemon-st, should be set not to a lawn and a bandstand erected. On the southwest corner an athletic field could be laid out. At the northwest corner an auto camp ground could be installed. On the northeast corner a children's playground could be arranged.

This was decided upon when the city manager reported that a large majority of the frontage on Cypress between Lemon and Philadelphia-sts was agreeable to proceed with paving if the above mentioned extensions were included. It is believed that by making the paving job larger it will be possible to obtain lower bids.

Passengers stated the wig-wag was not working, that there was an unobstructed view of the track and that they saw the section car at least 150 yards from the crossing, but apparently the driver of the stage did not observe it as he did not slow up. The stage turned over on its side, pinning several of the passengers beneath it for several minutes before they could be extricated. Had the stage completely turned over it would have dropped 15 feet over the end of a culvert into a ditch filled with water. Robt. C. Boyd, of 120 So.

Deputy Sheriffs Joe Nolan and J. B. Fox learned today. Nolan and Fox expected to identify the mystery woman before night and possibly to have her under arrest. A man against whom some degree of suspicion has been directed by the officers since the start of the investigation of the murder was questioned at the sheriff's office this morning. From this man, who knew Greenbaum intimately, Nolan and Fox expected to wring the name of the woman who, they believe, he protected when first questioned after the discovery of the pawnbroker's body, shot through the head, in an automobile at a lonely spot in the road to San Bernardino. They said the woman undoubtedly acted as a "lure," enticing Greenbaum to San Bernardino on the pretext that he could dispose of jewelry and guns to friends of hers there. Reports that Greenbaum left his diamond horseshoe stickpin and diamond ring, worth $1500, at home before leaving for San Bernardino with the Woman Wednesday night were denied by the officers today.

The stage turned over on its side, pinning several of the passengers beneath it for several minutes before they could be extricated.
