Falling in this they will be compelled to cut a small trench in the walk to let their wires in.

BAR AIR-GUNS & SLING-SHOTS It may not be generally known that one of the first ordinances written into the records of the city of Fullerton away back in 1904, when C. C. Chapman was mayor and G. A. Rudell city clerk was one making it a misdemeanor to use an air gun, aling shot or other missile weapon to kill birds within the corporate limits of the city. The idea that the early legislators had in view was that song birds are not only an attractive feature of rural life but that they are a distinct asset to the community and the surrounding country in a practical way because of the vast number of destructive insect pests destroyed by them. The ordinance is still in force and effect and the penalty for violating it is a fine of $50, a jail sentence of 30 days, or both, in the discretion of the court. ENTERTAINS OFFICIALS J. L.

Los Angeles The Orange County Plain Dealer OBENCHAIN, BURCH ARE ON SAME TRAIN CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Ralph Obenchain, answering the call of his beautiful divorced wife, was en route to Los Angeles today to aid her fight murder charges. "The good fellow" in the sordid tragedy of the slaying of John Belton Kennedy wasted no time after receiving the appeal of the attractive Madalynne. Within three hours he caught the fastest train for Los Angeles. He was accompanied by the Rev. A. W. Burch, father of Arthur Courtney Burch, held with Madalynne in connection with the murder. It was only a few days ago that young Burch, answering a similar appealing telegram from Madalynne for help, started without any hesitation on nearly a cross-continent trip to be at her side. "I love Madalynne and will do all I can to help her," Obenchain said before leaving. Will Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain stick to her original story of the slaying of J. Belton Kennedy and make that her sole defense when she goes to trial, charged with his murder, or will she attempt to cast suspicion on another? That some effort may be made by her to divert avenging justice into a channel where she will not be involved was indicated by her statement that if investigators would follow the clues found in Kennedy's pockets they might get the right person. This cryptic remark has loomed a train of speculation. The contents of Kennedy's pockets consisted of $26.91 in cash, a gold Waltham watch, a pearl-handled knife, a handkerchief, a package of mints, a receipted bill and a silver ring. It is believed by some that Mrs. Obenchain will retell her story of the killing of Kennedy by two roughly dressed men in Beverly Glen and that her attorneys will attempt to show that the young broker was pursued by enemies.

JOHNSON WORKS FOR TARIFF ON WALNUTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. — California's walnut industry, imperiled by the importation of large quantities of Oriental and other foreign walnuts, has placed its case in the hands of California senators to increase the tariff duty on this product to a point where the competition of foreign producers will be placed on a more even basis. Senator Johnson has introduced in the senate an amendment to the Fordney tariff bill which increases the proposed duty of two and one half cents per pound on unshelled walnuts to four cents per pound. It is the intention of Senator Johnson to force the amendment to a vote in the senate if the finance committee does not recognize the need of the increased duty following hearings to be held on the question. "I intend to carry this fight to the end." Senator Johnson declared today, "Mr. C. C. Teague, president of the California Walnut Growers' Assn. and C. Thorpe, general manager of the association, have prepared the case of the walnut growers to place before the committee. I intend to be present when this case is presented. I feel that the committee will recognize the injustice the walnut growers of California will be subjected to if the duty passed by the house is not increased." In the event the committee does not grant our wishes in this matter I have served notice on the Senate by introducing an amendment calling for the increased duties which I RAIL RELIEF BILL TO SENATE SOON WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—The administration's railroad relief bill will be favorably reported to the senate next week, without the slightest hope of its passage this session, members of the senate interstate commerce committee today stated.

It is stated that less than 10,000 of such unserviceable cars have been sold to the public On the other hand, more than 42,000 serviceable cars and trucks have been transferred to the War Dept. to other departments. 30,303 went to the bureau of public roads, Dept of Agriculture; 3,266 to the Postoffice Dept.; 1,565 to the Public Health Service; 1,273 to the navy and marine corps; and 305 to the corps of engineers.

It is believed by some that Mrs. Obenchain will retell her story of the killing of Kennedy by two roughly dressed men in Beverly Glen and that her attorneys will attempt to show that the young broker was pursued by enemies. Deputy sheriffs today are investigating a clue that lends color to this belief. A chance conversation overheard in a street car early today was reported to Captain Holz of the Sheriff's office. It was to the effect that Mrs. Obenchain declared "a couple of shots were taken at Kennedy" while she was out riding with him. The informant, who asked that his name be kept secret unless it was necessary to divulge, told Holz that the woman revealed a conversation between her and Mrs. Obenchain, a caemrman named Jack or Al King, and an automobile dealer. It was at this time, the woman said, that Mrs. Obenchain declared her sweetheart had been shot at while riding in his automobile with her.
