UNCANNY EATE IN LEVELED REVOLVER What uncanny fate leveled the gun which hit May Campbell is alleged to have taken the life of her husband with ta Balboa Beach a few days ago. Was her act the insane, unreasoning just to kill, superinduced by the wrong claims a San Francisco millionaire wreaked on him in the "old days" of Nevada mining history? It was a strange tale which leaked out of the grim walls of Santa Ana's jail yesterday—a tale in which the president of eleven banks was linked by the woman with characters of that party day who have been awallowed in the musty abyss of the past. At any rate, Jeff V. Campbell, 35, an oil worker is dead. He was shot to death at his home in Balboa Beach on Tuesday of last week. The state contends his wife shot him down after following him through the streets of Balboa for many blocks; then him as he fell exhausted, across its couch in their home. And yet the woman claims to have harbored no ill will toward Campbell. Rather, she speaks only of the San Francisco millionaire, and her mind seems wrapped in the events of the early days of Goldfield and Tongah when things were "wide open" and when she claims she lived for six years as the common law wife of the man whose name is now whispered in the cloistered recesses of San Francisco's inner financial shrines. Her grievance is a canker of the heart. Our home in Nevada was considered the finest in the state. The biggest men in the country were our greatest there. I was hostess, introduced everywhere as his wife. The city came to us largely through my efforts. I taught him all he knew—right him to wear his uniform at the Postoffice at Anheim, Calif., on second glass matter. JUST THE GIST Howdy. Started to peel yet Yes, that sun is rough on the skin.

Her grievance is a canker of the house. This is what she said: "Our home in Nevada was considered the finest in the state. The biggest men in the country were our guests there. I was hostess, introduced everywhere as his wife. Efforts I taught him all he knew—right him to wear his clothes properly and how to sit at the table." Mrs. Campbell is said to have been known variously as Mrs. Bancel and Mrs. Barrick, who hounded the Bay City financier in 1906, and just after the first of the following year threatened him with a revolver. These were the facts brought to light by an examination of newspaper reports at that time. On December 29, 1906, a woman calling herself Mrs. Bancel lived at San Jose. Apparently she had means, at any rate she kept servants. At midnight on December 28 the woman appeared at the fashionable St. Francis Hotel, where the millionaire lived, and demanded entrance to his room. She was refused. Returning to her home, she threatened to kill herself and a negro servant dismayed her. At that time she was quoted as threatening his life, swearing to "gamble him full of bullets." By evening she became calm and announced the millionaire had telephoned her and promised "to settle with her." She told the story of their alleged life together in the mining camps of Nevada and declared he had promised her $6000 and had not paid. But the banker denied it all. He characterised it as a "blackmail scheme," and said that the woman "wanted $20,000." He denied he had promised any settlement. But he was acquainted with his attorneys for two hours that day and afterwards refused to talk. The woman at that time was identified as a former Miss Salaciti, a Californian of Castillian parentage. The incident was forgotten until New Year's day in 1907. That day the woman, known as Mrs. Barrick, waited all day in the lobby of the St. Francis—and all the next day. The banker came in at 3 a.m. of the morning of January 2 and the woman was still there waiting. Bendishing a revolver, she rush-away him and demanded a conference. He started to run. The woman involved the pistol at his back, but the weapon was knocked aside by a resolute clerk who dashed to his rescue. Debtors $7,821.09; assets $50. J. C.

He reiterated his charge of blackmail. And now, more than a decade later, the woman known as Mrs. Campbell charged with husband murder, has resurrected those incidents as she awaits trial in the jail at Santa Ana. Attorney Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana, representing her, believes the woman's persistent, unquenchable, unreturned love so affected her mind that she called madly, blindly, with realization only of her wrongs and without thought of the consequences.

THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA UNION PACIFIC TO RUN INTO ANAHEIM LOS ANGELES, July 5.—With Los Angeles harbor as its face in the hole, the Union Pacific railroad is about to undertake extensive developments that are of vast significance to So. Cal. At least $5,000,000 will be invested in new lines radiating from the Harbor, with the purpose of affording access to tidewater for the Southern California rancher and farmer. The development will aim to utilize the present harbor advantages of the Salt Lake road, which was purchased recently by the Union Pacific, in such manner as to exploit them to their highest value. It is intended to give a vast impetus to commercial expansion at San Pedro. The plans, it is expected will be announced at the monthly luncheon of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, July 11, at the Alexandria. President Carl R. Gray of the Union Pacific is to be the principal speaker at this affair and it is believed he will indicate at that time the scope of the enterprise and announce as the new policy of the Union Pacific, a program which will make Los Angeles harbor the most important spot on the entire system. The fact that President Gray is scheduled to reveal these plans has made local officials of the road extremely chary of discussing the situation and the details of the coming expansion are, to some extent, shrouded in secrecy. From other sources, however, it was learned yesterday that a line will be built from Los Angeles to Santa Ana, to compete with the Santa Fe, and that various other short extensions are in contemplation which will connect outlying towns in Southern California with the ocean. These latter, it is said, are to be placed where there are no railroad facilities at present and will tap fruit growing and farming communities which, at present are forced to ship by truck to Los Angeles. Definite information as to these localities is lacking, but it is believed that one of the new branches will lead to Pico and the surrounding district. Another announcement expected from President Gray will cause the Salt Lake railroad, as such, to disappear. The new system will be known as the Union PACIFIC TO RUN INTO ANAHEIM. OPENING DRIVE FOR LIMA BEAN MEMBERS A drive is being made this week for Orange county members of the California Lima Bean Growers association. Guernsey Bear, F. D. Playan, H. L. Wakeham and Will Segestrom have been appointed a membership committee for this county. According to Playan, the committee will receive memberships up to Saturday. He states that the association has only about 10,000 sacks of last year's crop on hand while some independent growers are holding something like 165,000 sacks. The association controlled about 50 per cent of last year's production in the state, and its success in disposing of all but 10,000 sacks was due entirely to organization, it is said. Acknowledgement By Secretary of Navy Edwin Denby, secretary or the navy has followed President Warren G. Harding with a letter to R. L. Bisby, secretary of the Orange County Harbor association, acknowledging receipt of an invitation from the association to visit Orange county harbor at Newport Bay when in So. California. Joseph A. Carey, Denby's private secretary, writes Bisby as follows: "Mr. Dear Mr. Bisby: Your letter of June 22, inviting Secretary Denby to visit Orange county harbor at Newport Bay when on the Pacific Coast, has been received. "The secretary's proposed trip to the west coast is delayed for the present and the time at which it can be taken is undetermined now. However, when it is possible to make tentative plans, your courteous invitation will have attention and at that time he will reply personally." Witman, Eyesight Specialist. 30 DAYS ON APPLE CIDER Judge Howard of Anaheim was called to Fullerton this morning to hear the case of a "drunk" who is said to have gotten "atewed" on apple cider. The Judge sentenced him to 30 days in Jail; French French of Fullerton has gone on his vacation to the hot springs near San Juan Capitrano. SELF-INVITED GUEST ROBS HOST, CLAIMI LOS ANGELES, July 6.—He invited himself into the room of his friend and then drawing a gun from his pocket held up his boat and took all of his money and valuables. Such is the charge made against Enrique Martinez on trial today in Judge Reeve's court accused of robbery. According to the story told by Nicholas Ramirez, he was introduced to Martinez on April 1 and was invited by the other to his home. The next day they met again and this time the defendant is alleged to have invited himself to the home of his newly-made friend. When he arrived in the room and the door was safely closed, Martinez is alleged to have drawn his revolver and made the other man give him all the valuables he had with him. GUN WIELDER FLEES, VICTIM IN HOSPITAL LOS ANGELES, July 6.—A man who identity appeared to be uncertain today was a fugitive from the police while J. P. Foreman was a patient at The Angelus hospital, suffering from a wound in the shoulder as the result of an old-fashioned "shooting-staged in the rooms of a club at 2 S. Spring-st. U. S. GUNBOATS AT TAMPICO WASHINGTON, July 6.—Two American gunboats have been seen to Tampico, Mexico, to guard against any possible trouble in the oil field there. Secretary of the Navy Denbies recent announcement by The Standard Oil Co., that they are wishing their tankers from carrylite oil out of Tampico aroused fear for some trouble might arise from being thrown out of work, Denbies said. The ships sent to Tampico were the Sacramento and Cleveland, first from Christobal and the Carls zone and the latter from Galveston. The Standard Ool Co. is withdrawing its tankers, according to its architect. These latter, it is said, are to be placed where there are no railroad facilities at present and will tap fruit growing and farming communities which at present are forced to ship by truck to Los Angeles. Definite information as to these localities is lacking, but it is believed that one of the new branches will lead to Pico and the surrounding district. Another announcement expected from President Gray will cause the Salt Lake railroad, as such, to disappear. The new system will be known as the Union Pacific and the name "Salt Lake" will be dropped entirely. Another feature of the development plans will call for standardization of the present Salt Lake routes, in accordance with Union Pacific equipment. 90-pound rails will be installed throughout the system and a complete union with the Union Pacific will be affected. Just how far the program will go and how much money will be expended was a subject of dispute yesterday in railroad and financial circles in Los Angeles. It was pointed out by several traffic experts, however, that the Union Pacific is one of the few railroads in country to come through the war period with a fairly healthy treasury and that fact has lent color to the belief that a considerable amount will be expended in realizing the full value from the recent purchase of the Salt Lake. It is said, in fact, that the directors of the Union Pacific were prepared to go even further than is at present contemplated, but that the Interstate Commerce Commission frowned on some items of the development program and for that reason these will be held in abeyance. The sum of $5,000,000, however, which was placed as a minimum estimate yesterday, is no small amount for a railroad to spend in these pervious times and is an indication of the confidence felt by railroad men in general in the future of Los Angeles and Los Angeles harbor. Priscilla Dean will be seen in "Reputation" at the Fairyland tonight and tomorrow night. It is a story of woman against woman; originally written by Edwina Levin as a novelette under the title of "False Colors." "Earthbound" will be seen again tonight at the Grand Theatre.
