Next he entered the room where the father, John Grant, was sleeping and struck him with the same weapon. Mrs. Grant and John Grant are not expected to live.

"There seems to be no relief to the shortage of rooms and apartments that existed when school started last fall. At that time an especial appeal to citizens to take the teachers into their homes was responded to readily." "I think it would be a mighty good business proposition for someone to fit up a dozen rooms or apartments for teachers, as they prefer to room together."

OBENCHAIN MAY BE BROT BEFORE GRAND JURORS Deputy District Attorney Declares If Defense Counsel Knows Who Guilty Person Was He Should Help Clear Up Mystery. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—Ralph Obenchain may be subpoenaed to go before the grand jury to tell if he knows who is the actual murderer of J. Belton Kennedy. Several days ago Obenchain made a statement in which he declared that Madalynne Obenchain, his former wife, and Arthur C. Burch, who are jointly accused of the crime, would be released in five days. “If Ralph Obenchain declared he knew who the guilty person was, we will take him before the grand jury under subpoena and let him help us clear this mystery.” This is the statement of Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes, who is handling the case for the district attorney’s office. While the authorities are working on the theory that Mrs. Obenchain and Durch committed the crime, they are willing to receive any information that would convict any other person. “We do not want to send an innocent man to prison,” Undersheriff Biscalzu said. If Ralph Obenchain is taken to the grand jury to testify, it will be a strange procedure. Obenchain is known to have spent some time yesterday in a conference with a man whose name was not given, who is believed to have advanced information to substantiate one of the defense theories. According to all reports available, the defense will hang their hopes of proving the innocence of the two persons now under indictment by 275 AT ROTARY PICNIC 275 AT ROTARY PICNIC The first annual Rotary picnic yesterday afternoon and evening at Orange-co park was an uproarious success, attended by 275 Rotarians and their wives from the Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach clubs.

Mac Bobbins of Santa Ana and Harry D. Riley were first and second in the water bucket carrying contest. In the tug of war event, the Anaheim team was composed of Dr. H. A. Jonhston, Horace Benjamin, Glenn Hartranft, E. A. Beard, Harry D. Riley, Tom McFadden, John Reuther and George Prince. All went well until someone said Studebaker too loud and Harry D. Riley let go all holds. There was no chance for Anaheim after that. Mrs. H. A. Johnston and Mrs. T. L. McFadden won a contest based on the one able to blow out a row of candles first. Glenn Hartranft of Fullerton was first and Harry D. Riley second in a foot race. A royal picnic dinner at which ham, corn on the cob and sweet potatoes played an important part, was enjoyed in the evening, followed by dancing. WINGLE CASE CONTINUED Superior Judge West today continued until next Friday the hearing on the application for the probation brot by A. C. Dingle, of Anaheim, charged with driving an auto while intoxicated. Dingle produced four character witnesses who asserted they had not seen Dingle intoxicated. The district attorney stated he could produce a witness who had seen Dingle drunk since the trial two weeks ago. The court asserted one such witness would be worth more than a ten-acre field of witnesses who had never seen him drunk. Judge West recently announced he would send all convicted of driving an auto while intoxicated to the penitentiary. CAMPBELL TRIAL OCT. 18 Mrs. Mary Campbell displayed no emotion this afternoon when she listened to the reading in superior court of the indictment charging her with murder in the first degree of her husband, Jess V. Campbell, Balboa oilman. The trial was set for 10 p.m., Oct. 18. Atty. Adams, from the office of Atty. Guy Eddie, of Los Angeles, represented Mrs. Campbell this afternoon. Her incarceration apparently has not agreed with Mrs. Campbell, as she looked today to be more nervous and weak than when she appeared in justice court. FOIL ATTEMPT TO LYNCH THREE MEN BARNSTABLE, Mass., Aug. 19—A crowd of angry citizens armed with axes, crowbars and sledge hammers marched on the county jail to place Nolan on the stand immediately so that he could return to his investigation of the Kennedy murder in Los Angeles. Despite activities of the defense and reported assertions that other persons will be accused of the crime, the district attorney's office remains firm in their belief that they "have the right parties."

CONGRESS IN JAM OVER THREE BILLS WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Congress today was in a legislative jam that threatened to prevent month's recess scheduled to begin Wednesday. The chief obstacles are: 1. The Longworth bill, extending the dye embargo with the senate amendments extending the emergency tariff bill. 2. The deficiency bill carrying $45,500,000 for the shipping board and $200,000 for expenses of the disarmament conference. 3. The anti-medicinal beer bill. The trouble over these three bills centers in the senate. ALTO CLUB MANAGER DRIVES SPEEDY CAR There is a joke going the rounds on R. Phillips, local manager of the Auto club of So Cal. The report says that about noon today Mr. Phillips's car went "dead" on him on East Center-st, and he made a thorough overhauling of it, tying up the traffic in the meantime. But alas! He was unable to find wherein the trouble last. Then one his many friends who had gathered about happened to look into the garage tank, and lo! It was empty Mr. Phillips is being unmercifully kidded."
