DOWNEY COLLEGE ALUMNI GATHER The sixth annual reunion of So. Pacific College Alumni Association held in South Park, Los Angeles, was attended by about 25 former students, and by as many members of the families of students, and a goodly number of invited friends. The So. Pacific College was founded in the spring of 1877 in Downey City, some 12 miles east of Los Angeles, by the Rev. J. M. Monroe, who became its president, and teacher of English, Greek and Latin. He was a young minister of the Christian church, who had come out from Indiana a few years before to assume the chair of languages in Santa Rosa Christian College. Associated with him in the Downey school was Prof. W. H. Baker, teacher of mathematics, a graduate of Kicksville, Normal school. Miss Hottle McKim was installed as head of the primary department, while Mrs. Monroe taught music. In the fall of 1878 Miss McKim was succeeded by Miss Lydia A. Sallet. Miss Lella Lockhart of Los Angeles, who later married Frank M. Coulter, was added to the music staff, and A. P. Walbridge, a student, became teacher of the commercial department, while still pursuing his studies. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Coulter and Mr. Walbridge are residents of Los Angeles, while Prof. Baker has held the chair of mathematics in the State Normal at San Jose for more than 20 years. The first semester of So. Pacific College was held in the old hotel building in Downey, which faced on the railroad right of way. The hand-some 3-story building in the northern suburbs of the village was completed and occupied in the fall of 1877. This magnificent structure was destroyed by fire in the winter of 1879, and was never rebuilt. Hence the school was short lived, and the total enrollment probably did not exceed 150 in all departments. Inspiration for the organization of an association by the former students after so long a lapse of time seems to have been furnished by the return of Mr. Walbridge to Los Angeles after an absence of more than OLD SCOUTS START ALONG TRAIL AGAIN Today there departed from Fullerton an expedition, which, in its general plan and purpose savors much of those of the early pioneer days when resolute, hardy men set their faces toward the setting sun in search of fortune and adventure. In the case question, the means of travel and the object to be attained remain the same as of old, the only difference being that the trail to be followed will lead north instead of west. Isaiah Hover, 115 S. Harvard-ave., 71 years of age, is the prime mover in the enterprise and his partner is Edward LaPler. Both are residents of Fullerton, the former having come 14 years ago and the latter at a date but little later. With two covered light wagons, one trailing behind the other, loaded with supplies and full camp equipment and drawn by a sturdy pair of horses, the comrades will move northward toward the far Oregon line in quest of such adventures as fortune may send. Incidentally, being practical men, they will keep an eye out for some of the low-priced land, which according to reports they have received, is still to be found up in that country. If they find something to their liking in Northern Cal., it may be they will go no farther, otherwise they will push on into Oregon. Failing there they will continue northward into Washington. They are planning to be away at least six months and to cover some thousands of miles of country. It may be a year before they return, depending on what falls. The life of the camp and trail is no new thing to Hover, who is an old time plainsman and familiar with every angle of the business. In spite of his more than 70 years his heart is still young and he is as responsive to the call of the great out-of-doors and the open road as he ever was. It is with almost boyish enthusiasm and anticipation that he is proceeding with his preparations for this latest journey into regions that are unknown to him. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph family of Riverside home of Mr. and Mrs. Low and Mr. and Mrs. Granger of Breast several days at Long Mr. and Mrs. Arrow who were recently invited William N. Irwin days' visit with friends co., have returned to expect to locate them will supply for Mr. Irwin latter's one-month vacation taken soon. Miss Acton has recived Fullerton from Kansas and will make her last parents on E.America. Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Commonwealth-ave., number of their relatives home yesterday, the gail family reunion, guests included: Mr. Alcorn and family of M. Alcorn of Kingabank and Mrs. Pearl Alcorn. Miss Margaret Vickie of Mr. and Mrs. Tom city is quite ill at her Sherman Gillogly of a business caller in morning. He was for undertaking business. L.H.Smith left town months' vacation in California. There was a small Spadra-rd this morning ed out the fire department extinguished before the arrived. Practically no done. There was a short at the parloros of J.E.taker, Saturday afternoon ran whose body was ingham, Ala., Father oing. Relatives from were in attendance. Miss Laura Bell, ohs has been the guest tha the railroad right of way. The handgone 3-story building in the northern suburbs of the village was completed and occupied in the fall of 1877. This magnificent structure was destroyed by fire in the winter of 1879, and was never rebuilt. Hence the school was short lived, and the total enrollment probably did not exceed 150 in all departments. Inspiration for the organization of an association by the former students after so long a lapse of time seems to have been furnished by the return of Mr. Walbridge to Los Angeles after an absence of more than 35 years. A call was hastily sent out to former students and friends of the school for a gathering on Sunday, August 13, 1916, in Central Christian church, Los Angeles, of which former President Monroe was then pastor. Those most active in this movement were John C. Simmons, Mrs. Josie McKellar and Mrs. S. S. Skidmore of Oowney and Albert Montgomery of Rivera. The reunion at the one o'clock services in the church on this occasion was a memorable event, for it was a meeting of old classmates who had been separated for 37 years. Since that time regular sessions have been held on the third Sunday in July each year. At the meeting this year devotional services occupied the hour from 11:30 to 12:30, and were conducted by Mrs. Magee. Addresses were delivered by President Simmons and Rev. J. M. Monroe, followed by informal remarks by Wm. Justice, Mrs. Magee and Mr. Walbridge. Special music was contributed by a male quartette composed of Messrs. Clarence M. Thomas, S. A. Donaldson, Burdette Wirick and A. P. Walbridge. One of the songs sung was "Marantha," from "The Royal Diadem" which was the Sunday school song book used in the Downey Christian church during the college days, and which called back old memories. At noon all sat down to an old-fashioned chicken dinner such as only the Downey women know how to prepare. Isaac J. Frazze, the poet laureate of the school, in his ode to "Dear Old Downey Days" read before the association in 1917, paid tribute to the Downey cooks in these characteristic words: "When I shut my eyes a minute I can get a whiff or two Of old time Downey cookin' jest like I user do. I've never been quite certain why I never found no food On this terrestrial planet that tasted quite so good." The afternoon was devoted to reminiscences, greetings, reading of messages of regret from absent members, singing and the business of the association. Isaac J. Frazze, author and producer of the Indian Peace Pipe Pageant, which was given at his ranch at Moosa, San Diego Co., a few years ago, and which he is now preparing for presentation at Laguna Beach on Aug. 15, 2015, sent his regrets in country. It may be a year before they return, depending on what befalls. The life of the camp and trail is no new thing to Hover, who is an old time plainsman and familiar with every angle of the business. In spite of his more than 70 years his heart is still young and he is as responsive to the call of the great out-of-doors and the open road as he ever was. It is with almost boyish enthusiasm and anticipation that he is proceeding with his preparations for this latest journey into regions that are unknown to him. As a boy in Nebraska—back in the late sixties and the early seventies—he rode the vast prairies watered by the Platte and the Niobrara in company with Buffalo Bill and other redoubtable plainsmen, scouts and Indian fighters, who won fame for their prowess in those early days. He very well remembers the massacre at White Rock, Kan., in July 1864, when 14 families were murdered by the Cheyenne and Arapahohes, led, declares, by white renegades, who had deserted from the army. Only a small boy escaped in that slaughter. His father lost all his stock in the raid but was able to remove his family to a place of safety. LaPier also comes of a family which bore a part in the stirring scenes enacted on the Nebraska prairies of those days, his father having been one of the two men who rescued the lone survivor of the White Rock disaster. He is somewhat younger than his companion, but is handicapped by the loss of a leg, the result of an accident which occurred some years ago, while following his trade of carpenter here in Fullerton. Both are hardy, vigorous men for their years and are anticipating no particular difficulties or discomforts in going through with the somewhat ambitious program they have laid out. Guns and fishing tackle will be a part of their equipment and, so far as is practicable in these days of vastly changed conditions, they will follow the early day practice of living off the fish and game of the regions traversed. CHOIR USES MEGAPHONES Vesper services were held yesterday afternoon by the First Christian church of Fullerton at the city park on West Commonwealth-avo. The choir used megaphones in order that more people could hear. Memorial services were held by the Bible class yesterday morning at the Rialto theatre in honor of J.W. Keith and Clemmons Farrel. Dr. Wm.Freeman spoke in the memory of Mr. Keith and Prof. W.T. Boyce in memory of Mr. Farrle. One hundred men were present. Next Sunday's session will be given to patriotic exercises. The following Sunday the class will go en masse to Long Beach. HELD FOR STEALING RIDE David Betty, a negro, was arrested this morning by Joe Marillo, deputy marshal of Fullerton and haled before Judge French on the charge of I've never been quite certain why I never found no food On this terrestrial planet that tasted quite so good." The afternoon was devoted to reminiscences, greetings, reading of messages of regret from absent members, singing and the business of the association. Isaac J. Frazce, author and producer of the Indian Peace Pipe Pageant, which was given at his ranch at Moosa, San Diego Co., a few years ago, and which he is now preparing for presentation at Laguna Beach on Aug. 15, 20, sent his regrets in verse, as usual, labeled—"A Message from Ike:— "I low that up in Heaven there's a South Park hid somewhere, And Downey folks will gather to hold reunions there. To pass their resolutions and sing each others' praise, And swap recollections of dear old Downey Days. For I low as how as Heaven is just the spirit birth Of all those finer feelings we've shared down here on earth, Life's giving and forgiving, its loaf of kind intent Which we shall share forever as blessed sacrament." A letter from Prof. W. H. Baker brot sadness to every heart, for it told of the death of Mrs. Baker, who, as Sue Wolfe, was one of the most beautiful and popular girls in the old Downey school. They were married in 1879, and the union proved a most happy one. The officers chosen for the ensuing year are—president, J. Albert Antgomery, Rivera; vice president, McKellar Magee, Downey; sec. A. P. Walbridge, Los Angeles; secretary, J. C. Sheppard, Fullertonian; Prof. Mathew R. Long Beach; Monarchs and students presidents Rev. and Mrs. J. M.

Blakeley, pastor of the Church of the Lord, at the Holiness Mission in Placentia yesterday morning, taken from the second chapter of Revelation. “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I will come unto those quickly, and remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repeat.” These words were written unto the angel or bishop of the church of Ephesus, who was Timothy, and shows that while this church had started out with all the zeal and fire of the Holy Ghost, and had endured great tribulation for the sake of Christ, they had 'cooled off,' lost their zeal, and were now in danger of being cast off of God unless they repented, stirred up the gift that was in them, and again became red-hot firebrands for God.” MEMORY LAPSE’ MAN HELD ON U.S.CHAIRGE LOS ANGELES, July 25—In a complaint filed by the United States district attorney at Macon, Ga., Benjamin L.

Legislation carrying such penalties is urged by Chief of Police Charles Jones and other police officials. The gravity of the menace is fresh in the chief's mind with the injuring Thursday night of V. L. Webb, Pacific Electric conductor, who barely escaped with his life. Webb was turning a switch for his car at Santa Monica boulevard and La Brea avenue when a large touring car bore down upon him. He was hurled 30 feet, his left arm broken in three places and his entire body cut and bruised.
