START NEW YEAR'S RIGHT—HELP WIDOW Subscriptions continue to come in on the fund with which a warm, arry California house is to be erected for the Widow Olga and her five fatherless children who now reside in a shack at the rear of a lot on Santa Ana-st. Subscriptions today totalled $101.00, within $24.00 of the desired $125 when the Gibbs Lumber Co's generous offer to furnish the material at cost will be taken advantage of and the Anaheim carpenters' union, who have graciously offered to put up the building for nothing, will be told to go ahead. Hey, you folks who had a merry Christmas, why not obey that impulse to start the new year right with a subscription to this very worthy fund. The carpenters are waiting for the word to go. Let them get started. Contributions stand today as follows: Plain Dealer ... $10.00 Chaffee Employees ... 10.00 Mrs. H. K. Boyd ... 2.00 Mr. Geo. Rebman ... 10.00 J. J. Omella ... 10.00 O. H.

The motion was made by Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley when Magano appeared before Justice J. B. Cox for a preliminary hearing. Circumstances surrounding the case failed to substantiate the charge, it was stated. HUGO WETZEL WILL ESCAPE 2ND TRIAL A charge of manslaughter against Hugo Wetzel, prominent Richfield rancher has been dismissed at the request of District Attorney A. P. Nelson, thus halting plans for a second trial of Wetzel, who was accused in connection with the fatal shooting of Fred Ebert, 19-year-old Anaheim youth, in his watermelon patch Aug. 13. The trial of Wetzel, held Nov. 21, resulted in a disagreement of the jury. The second trial had been set for January 22. The motion made by the district attorney indicated a belief that another trial of the case was not justified by the circumstance. TURN FROM WAR TO AID OF THE HELPLESS The first great wintry storm finds many hungry and shelterless in New York and other large eastern cities. This is a familiar news story at this season, coming over the wires with sickening regularity, year after year. There is always privation and suffering among the poor and the unfortunate in this country, particularly in the metropolitan centers of population. As disarming of the great nations proceeds—as there is the strongest reasons to believe that it will—and as this Nation and this people, along with other nations and peoples, turn from fears of and preparations for war, the impulse should be strong, with the government and the people, systematically to relieve the plight of the disabled, the unfortunate and the helpless. To this end, mammoth public works should be instituted, RIVER BREAKS AT ANOTHER Late yesterday afternoon Baylis reported to Chamble broad that a point on the merly held in place by willows had been washed current of the Santa Ana is now on the Anaheim Eygabroad authorized Mr put on a small force of four or three days to lay a point and protect it with thirty cypress trees.

COVERS IDLE MAY BE OLDEST OF ALL PRINTED BOOKS PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6 — William L. Richard, former vice-president of the American Numismatic Society, who acquired two rare books during trip to China several years ago, has announced, after thorough investigation, his conviction that he has one of the rare books called the "Tanjur," of the Book of the Doctrine of the Tibetans. For some time after he came into possession of the book, Mr. Richard looked upon it only as curiosity without any particular worth, until he showed it to friends, who urged him to investigate its origin. After more than a year studying the literature of Tibet and China, he found that the book was printed more than a thousand years ago with movable type, at that time unknown in the western hemisphere. Mr. Richard says he has proved conclusively that the "Tanjur" was printed seven hundred years before the famous Gutenberg Bible, the first European book printed with movable type.

To this end, mammoth public works should be instituted, from time to time, by the Nation, by states, by counties and by municipalities. These, of course, should be needed improvements, so that their construction would be beneficial to the public, as well as give work to the unemployed. Then some practicable means should be devised for comfortable housing of all the people—the poorest and the most unfortunate, along with the more fortunate. This country's population should not be permitted to outgrow its housing accommodations. The police stations and charity houses of the great cities should not be crowded with the shelterless during winter storms; there should be enough shelter for all in dwellings, and the poor should have comfortable quarters at reasonable rent and should have opportunity to work and earn the rent. These are some of the good things that can be and should be wrought out, in practical fashion, as the Nation turns from preparations against war and as it reduces its armament expenditures.

Los Angeles RIVER BREAKS OUT AT ANOTHER POINT Late yesterday afternoon, Foreman Bayliss reported to Chairman Eygraroad that a point on the river, formerly held in place by a clump of willows had been washed out by the current of the Santa Ana river which is now on the Anaheim side. Mr. Eygraroad authorized Mr. Bayliss to out on a small force of men for two or three days to lay a cable at this point and protect it with twenty or thirty cypress trees. In order to do this work economically, it will be necessary to have some volunteer labor. Mr. Bayliss can use twenty men and the work is not too heavy. Those who are willing to give tomorrow to this work will please report to Mr. Bayliss at the Chamber of Commerce not later than 1 o'clock tomorrow morning. It is feared is this little piece of work is not done, the waters will destroy sufficient property along the west bank to cut in behind the very important sandbag dam already constructed. A large flow of water continues in the river and probably will continue for ten days, as water is released gradually from large dams in Bear Valley. TAG DUCKS TO FIND HOW FAR THEY GO PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 6. — What Bertillon is to criminals, the United States Biological Survey is to ducks. Sometime ago this government department loosed a flock of game ducks whose legs were decorated with nifty little aluminum leg bands. The gentlemen in the department longed to discover how far a duck would stray, where it might nest, and where some gunners gun might drop him—or her—in a lonely lake. Last week a hunter killed a hen mallard and turned in the first big band retrieved since the start of the experiment. It bears the number 27 and is being checked to determine where the duck was turned loose. It was not one of the ones turned loose in this district. COVERS IDLE AUTO "COUGHING CHORUS" TRY ACTORS' NERVES NEW YORK, Jan. 4. —The stage profession is rising in wrath at the annoyance given them by the season's barkers. It seems that everyone who has a pet cough takes it to the theatre these days and about the time you are ready to appreciate the dulcet tones of some actress in a particularly telling and sometimes spicy speech, the bark is exercised. These noises in the audience present a serious problem. Hissing wa slong ago banned in the theatre, and few of us have escaped the piercing glances of nearby customers who resent our little comments during the performance, however justified we may feel in commenting now and then upon whether we are getting our money worth. But the cough is now on trial. Stage folk are unusually sensitive. Rumor hath it that a few of our great artists have been known to stop in the midst of a performance and request the respectful attention which their efforts deserved. But while many people are thoughtless, and some unquestionably rude, a cough is not to be tampered with. If you have one of those seasonable afflictions you can't just dig in for winter. With all due respect to the sensitiveness of player folk, a suspicion obtrudes that the performance, or player, which cannot survive the noises inevitable in any human concourse is scarcely worthy of survival. That is a heavy burden which General Dawes essayed, but he seems to be able to budget.

Considerable excitement has been caused here by the discovery of tiny gold nuggets in the crops of several geese belonging to P. Will, farmer, living a few miles from here. Mr. Will noticed the gold in the crop of a goose killed for Christmas dinner and became so excited that he killed a number of other birds from his flock finding the tiny nuggets in each crop investigated. There is no known outcropping of gold near here. The specimens have been sent to the school of mines at Rapid City for analysis. Plain Dealer Want Ads Bring Results. UNION PACIFIC IN NEW RATE CUTS OMAHA, Neb. Jan. 4. Freight rates on cotton, fruit, egg, butter, poultry and many other staple commodities will be cut 10 per cent after the first of the year, it was reiterated here today by F. W. Robinson, freight agent for the entire Union Pacific railroad. A decrease in 10 per cent on hay, grain and grain products will also take place at the same time. This latter clash was announced to be in accordance with the ruling of the interstate commerce commission. The voluntary reduction will create rates to serve for the tentative six months, according to Robinson. The 20 per cent reduction is to continue until June 30, 1922.
