With this comment John Drinkwater summed up his experiences while on a lecture tour in the United States, from which he has just returned. He is thoroughly optimistic about the future relations between the two great English-speaking nations. "Of course," he went on, "there is the small minority, with a loud voice, which wants watching and answering from time to time, but there is no reason to be scared about them. "Americans and Englishmen were, of course, made to like each other. Altho I could not live anywhere else but in England. I have the highest regard for Americans. A man like J.W. Davis, for example, the retiring ambassador, is the salt of the earth." PRELIMINARY STEPS FOR $100,000 JAIL First steps were taken today preliminary to the construction of Orange-co's new $100,000 jail when a crew of house-movers, under the direction of Contractor, F. F.

The old building used by the sheriff's office will be moved across Sycamore-st about 15 feet north of the MATTHEW SHOOTING Verdice of Coroner’s Jury That Held to His Death From “Interrupted by Gun-shot Witness” A verdict that Fred A. Ebbert, boy killed Wednesday evening in the city of Hugo Wetzel near Richfield, caused by a internal hemorrhage caused by a gun returned this morning by the coroner over the body at Backs & Terry uncle No. Lemon-st. The jury took the role Truxaw, autopsy surgeon. The first witness to testify was C.A.Ebbert, father of the boy, who testified as to the boy's age, and to the fact that he was employed by the Union Oil Co. The feature of the hearing was the testimony of George E. "Red" Matthews, the boy's chum and idol of Anaheim boxing fans, who went with him into the melon patch and who was only a short distance from him when the shot was fired. Matthews testified that he heard no grouns, and knew nothing about his chum being hit at the time. The shot was behind him. He ducked when it was fired, and supposed that Ebbert had done the same. Then he crawled out of the melon patch on his hands and knees, got into the car and drove to Richfield, where he turned around and came back hoping to pick up his chum along the way. Instead, he saw Wetzel by the roadside with a shot- GRAB GOLD national complications held the Los no biggest seizure of gold in the hisdepartment at Washington and the day notified by Police Chief Jones of Augustine Autunez, who claims to Tla Juana; Romero Breton, a clerk GEISSINGER RETURNS FROM MONTH'S REST Dr. James Allen Gelissinger has returned much refreshed from a month's vacation at his cottage at Balboa Island and will occupy his pulpit at the Methodist White Temple.

Matthews replied that he could do nothing of the kind, and asked that Wetzel help carry him to the car, which he did. Matthews shouted to a passing car to stop. It did not, but the shout brot Wetzel's sons to the scene who asked what was the matter. Ebbert called for a drink, and while they were waiting for it he asked that Matthews take him from the running board, and lay him on the ground where he could rest better. He fainted once, but regained consciousness. The Wetzel boys brot him to the hospital. Matthews said that Ebbert suggested going to the melon patch they were eating supper at the oil well, and then later mentioned it again, but that he put him off, not wishing to go and hoping that he would for- COMMISSION TO SPANK WATER COS.

FIGHT TO INCREASE TARIFF ON WALNUTS Combating efforts of new York importers to beat down the tariff asked by walnut growers in this state, California representatives in Washington, led by Senator Johnson, reopened their fight yesterday to save the walnut industry of the west from destructive foreign competition. A tariff of four cents on unshelled and 12 cents on shellled walnuts has been asked. The Fordney bill, when it went to the senate finance committee, carried a schedule of two and 1-2 and 7 1-2 cents per pound. This schedule was strenuously objected to by a committee consisting of President C. C. Teague and General Manager Carlyle Thorpe, of the California Walnut Growers Association, which recently presented the case of the California walnut man in a hearing before the senate finance committee. Messrs. Teague and Thorpe offer- AUTO PRICE CUTS Sept. 3. The example of Henry Ford in slashing attests been followed by five other manufacturers. In additions ranging from $100 to $400 are also announced to Franklin and Essex Motor Car Cos. FURTHER FRANKLIN PRICE REDUCTIONS Further price reductions of the Franklin, announced Thursday, September 1, came as a distinct surprise to both the motorizing public and automobile dealers and manufacturers throughout the country. This is the third slice off the Franklin war price in the space of a year. One year ago the Franklin Automobile Co. announced its first after-war reduction in the form of a most amazing cut, in order as stated by H. H. Franklin, to assist in the stabilization of the motor-car industry. Another reduction was made June 1 of this year, and at that time everybody believed the Franklin company has reached the lowest price possible for many months, perhaps years. Delivery of a Franklin touring car was made this week to Mrs. Virginia L. Cookson, who lives near Madame Ebbert called for a drink, and while they were waiting for it he asked that Matthews take him from the running board, and lay him on the ground where he could rest better. He fainted once, but regained consciousness. The Wetzel boys brot him to the hospital. Matthews said that Ebbert suggested going to the melon patch they were eating supper at the oil well, and then later mentioned it again, but that he put him off, not wishing to go and hoping that he would forget it. Again about 10 o'clock, he suggested it, and they went. But Matthews stated when they reached the melon patch, he was seized with a premonition that something was going to happen, and he pleaded that they stop and listen, which they did, but hearing nothing, they entered, and the fatal shot was fired a little later. Dr. Truxaw testified as to the condition of the body, and Undersheriff French told of the arrest of Wetzel, which occurred at the Anaheim police station. He said Wetzel stated: "I've killed a man. I didn't want to shoot him, but I shot him. I'm sorry, but I guess it won't do much good to be sorry now." The jury did not fix the responsibility. Funeral services for Ebbert were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Backs and Terry chapel, Rev. Loren Howe, of the First Christian church officiating. Interment was in Loma Vista cemetery. A tariff of four cents on unshelled and 12 cents on shelled walnuts has been asked. The Fordney bill, when it went to the senate finance committee, carried a schedule of two and 1-2 and 7 1-2 cents per pound. This schedule was strenuously objected to by a committee consisting of President C. C. Teague and General Manager Carlyle Thorpe of the California Walnut Growers Association, which recently presented the case of the California walnut men in a hearing before the senate finance committee. Messrs. Teague and Thorpe offered a statement of comparative costs which shows that the difference between the cost of labor in growing walnuts here and in foreign countries is from 7 1-2 cents to 9 1-2 cents per pound in favor of the foreigner. It costs approximately 15c for the labor that produces a pound of walnuts here, the committee pointed out. France grows them for 2 1-2 cents, Italy for less than one cent, and China for less than 1-2 cent in labor expense. Despite these facts, the Fried Fruit Assn. of New York City has asked the senate finance committee to fix the walnut tariff at 3 and 6 cents per pound. Senator Johnson's reply to this is that if the committee does not give the California walnut growers a tariff which will afford adequate protection against foreign competition he will carry the fight onto the floor of the senate. Admitting that the trend of farm labor costs is downward, Mr. Thorpe insists that even if the cost of farming in this country were cut squarely in two, which is not at all probable, the labor differential would still justify on this basis alone, the four-cent duty requested by the walnut growers. PLEASANT EVENING The program and pie social given last evening by the Live Wire class of the Christian church was a most pleasant and profitable event. The reading by little Miss Lucabell Morgan was delightfully given and the crowd showed its appreciation by applause. Another pleasing feature was the quintet composed of Messrs Baker, Pitts, McKinney, Morgan and King, three numbers being contributed by these men. The yard in the rear of the church was transformed into a luncheon bower lighted by Chinese lanterns. Tables were prettily decorated and most inviting. Pie of several kinds and coffee were served, a satisfying sum being realized. The Plain Dealer for Job Printing TODAY'S RESULTS Taken from Bourd at Anahiem Bowling Alleys.
