XXV—NO. 132 NEAR RICH URGE NEED OF PARENTAL SCHOOL Probation Officer Suggests It Be Placed on County Hospital Grounds The urgent need of a parental school, to be located on the County Hospital grounds and linked up with the public school system, was shown by R. R. Miller, county probation officer, is an address before the Kiwanis Club this afternoon. Miller was the speaker of the day, and was vigorously applauded when he had finished. Such a school would take the first or second offender, and not the hardened juvenile, said Miller, who showed the moral and economic advantages accruing.

The plan is to have Uncle Sam buy all the liquor now in bonded warehouses. It totals about 35,-000,000 gallons and could be bought, it is estimated for $50,-000,000. The treasury would quickly get back this money and more, the committee thinks, by the sale of 5,000,000 gallons for medicinal purposes at $12 a gallon. This is less than tax paid whisky now costs the wholesaler. FUND RAISED SOON IF GROWERS HELP The complete fund of $40,000 for flood protection can be raised within one week from today, if the growers S. A. MAY FATAL BURN J.F.

He was ill yeterding he was not seen school, to be located on the County Hospital grounds and linked up with the public school system, was shown by R. R. Miller, county probation officer, is an address before the Kiwanis Club this afternoon. Miller was the speaker of the day, and was vigorously applauded when he had finished. Such a school would take the first or second offender, and not the hardened juvenile, said Miller, who showed the moral and economic advantages accruing. The school would do mostly preventive rather than curative work, it would enable the county to avoid mixing at the Santa Ana home, innocent dependents with boys who required reforming, and would protect the unhardened boy or girl from the ones with records. Miller said. At present, he declared, it cost the county $240 for each juvenile sent to a state institution, and although the great majority of these were reformed, they never came back to the county. The boys could work on the hospital farm and enable a considerable saving on labor costs. Four buildings, two dormitories and a gym alone would suffice in Miller's opinion; $8,500 annually is spent by the county in fee for the care of its juveniles in state institutions, and $1,900 on the juvenile home in Santa Ana. Miller gave some data showing the growth of the probation work. He said 37 new cases were handled in September, 52 new ones in October and 26 or 28 in November. At present there are 337 wards of the court, he said. The work of his office is not limited to juveniles, but adults are included, and three fourths of adult offenders apply for probation. He and his assistant and seven deputies try never to grant probation except to deserving cases. Unless a case is very much the exception, cases with records get no probation. (Continued on Page Eight) POPE REJOICES OVER IRISH TREATY DUBLIN, Jan. 10.—Amid the most dramatic and sensational scenes ever enacted under the name of peace and government Arthur Griffith today was elected president of the "Irish Free State." The actual title is president of the dail sireann, but the leadership of the newly created unit of the British empire goes with it. Highly indignant and muttering threats, Eamon de Valera, who has been styled the "president of the Irish republic," gathered his followers about him and walked out of the meeting as a protest against the election of Griffith. Michael Collins proposed the election of Griffith, who was the founder of the Sinn Fein and who is perhaps the greatest Irish political leader. A message from Pope Benedict resided over the agreement with Encommittee thinks, by the sale of 5,000,000 gallons for medicinal purposes at $12 a gallon. This is less than tax paid whisky now costs the wholesaler. FUND RAISED SOON IF GROWERS HELP The complete fund of $40,000 for flood protection can be raised within one week from today, if the growers give their allotted sums on the basis of $5.00 per acre, Charles A. Egabroad, chairman of the finance committee for the entire project, told the members of the Kiwanis Club at its luncheon today. The club has a committee at work in an endeavor to co-operate with the general committee in the collection of the fund. Eygabroad's statement created considerable apparent interest among his hearers, among whom were many growers. The fund is gradually increasing, and the canvassers have continued busily at work corralling resident and other prospects who were missed the first time, or who had to be seen again. The growers as a class are the ones who remain to be canvassed thoroughly, and it is to them that the district captains and their aids are directing attention this week. LEGAL POINT HOLDS UP MAN'S HEARING The trial of R. L. Walker, charged with the embezzlement of $258 worth of furniture which he purchased on contract from D. J. Andrews, of the Exchange Furniture Co., of Anaheim, was suddenly interrupted when Walker's attorney, G. K. Scovel, showed that Andrews had previously filed a civil action against Walker on account of the furniture and thus, Scovel argued, had automatically acknowledged title of the goods to Walker and so removed the transaction from the zone of criminal action. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley met this argument with a declaration that, although the law provides that a civil action in such cases elects the course which a complaining witness may pursue against the defendant, in the present instance the alleged embezzlement occurred in July, 1921, and the civil action was not filed until November. The fact that the civil action was filed later could not wipe out the criminal offense, he argued. NEARLY TEN MILLION INSURANCE IN FORCE The Orange-Co.

E. CAR PETITION FOR REHEARING START OF GREAT CLASH LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10. — Enraged Long Beach commuters on the P. E. today caused a near riot when they resented the reported efforts of a conductor to stop the circulation of a petition to the state railroad commission protesting the new fare rates between Long Beach and Los Angeles. One of the commuters who had drawn up a petition to the commission requesting reconsideration of its action in "readjusting" the rates of commutation fares was presenting the document for the signature of a passenger in one of the cars of the train when the conductor threatened to "throw off" the petition circulator if he persisted in having passengers sign it. The petition circulator defied the conductor, stating that he would not be stopped. The conductor signaled the train to stop. "I am going to throw you off," shouted the conductor. FARM BUREAU WILL HUNT FOR MEMBERS The Farm Bureau is making a vigorous campaign this week for an increased membership, C. M. Hollinghead, J. J. Dwyer and J. H. Krick composing the local committee on membership, which will take care of the drive inside the city. There are many committees to take charge of the work in the vicinity of Anaheim. The campaign was launched yesterday, and therefore is just getting under way. The committees have organized and the work of canvassing the ranchers and farmers has begun. It is too early in the campaign yet to of commutation fares was presenting the document for the signature of a passenger in one of the cars of the train when the conductor threatened to "throw off" the petition circulator if he persisted in having passengers sign it. The petition circulator defied the conductor, stating that he would not be stopped. The conductor signaled the train to stop. "I am going to throw you off," shouted the conductor. "Who are you with, boys?" called the petition circulator. With you all the time," chipped in a number of passengers, who jumped to the side of their fellow-commuter and assembled a threatening attitude toward the conductor. Nonpulsed by the sentiment aroused against him, the conductor clambered off the car, went to a railroad telephone and called the main Los Angeles office for instructions. While he was at the telephone for a period of about five minutes the petition was circulated and signed in this car. The commuter then circulated the petition in all other cars of the train without being disturbed by the conductors. It was reported that the conductor's efforts to stop the circulation of the petition was without authorization from the main office of P. E. company. Hundreds of Long Beach commuters, it was apparent from sentiment expressed, will move to Los Angeles as a result of the fare increase granted the P. E. Already it appears that the early beach cars are not so crowded as they were before the fare increase. The settlement in the beach community against the fare increase is extremely bitter. It is pointed out that the Long Beach line has always operated at a big profit for the P. E. railway, and the rate increase to the beach community consequently is declared to be unjustifiable. RAINS JEOPARDIZE ANNEXATION VOTE Another effect of the recent rains! It has raised the water levels in the wells of some coastside ranchers who a few weeks ago were courting annexation to Anaheim in order to take advantage of annexation of the city's water system. Since they do not now face immediate prospect of expensive lowering of well pits, they are not so anxious to get into the city. In fact, A. A. Mills, who has been presenting a petition for annexation of a large territory on the north and east sides of the city, has agreed with City Manager O. E. Steward that it would be wiser to curtail the district somewhat. The Farm Bureau is making a vigorous campaign this week for an increased membership, C. M. Hollinghead, J. J. Dwyer and J. H. Kriek composing the local committee on membership, which will take care of the drive inside the city. There are many committees to take charge of the work in the vicinity of Anaheim. The campaign was launched yesterday, and therefore is just getting under way. The committees have organized and the work of canvassing the ranchers and farmers has begun. It is too early in the campaign yet to determine the outcome since no reports have yet been made. Mr. Dwyer said today, but it is hoped that there will be a general response among the farm folks. The men leading in the canvass about Anaheim are: A. V. Wheeler, John Heil, P. D. L. Froze, High Bell, William Junior, C. W. Martin, B. R. Chandler Jr., Travey Ben Paxton, Raphael Jackson, Ernest Williamson, William Clansing, Edgar Harden, Louie Dahlman, J. B. Eaton, William Maurson, Tim Shea, and the Messrs. Littleton, Chitty and Mason. RECORD SHIPMENT OF DURANT MOTORS The largest shipment of any one commodity ever made across the country is in Los Angeles and Oakland over the Southern Pacific Lines via Chicago, Council Bluffs, Ogden and Roseville.

COURIER-JOURNAL BUILDING BURNS LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan 10—The old Courier-Journal building was destroyed by fire early this morning, with an estimated loss of between $800,000 and $1,000,000. The new Courier-Journal building, about half a block away, was several times in danger, but firemen succeeded in diverting the flames. SCHOOL BUS STRUCK BY FAST FREIGHT VAN WERT, Ohio, Jan 10—Four children were instantly killed and a score seriously injured when a Pennsylvania fast freight crashed into a bus carrying the children to school, three miles east of here this morning. NEW P. O. ACCOMMODATION The new postoffice will have 450 small lock boxes, 100 medium sized ones, 40 large ones and 12 blinds. Six plate glass windows measuring approximately six feet four inches square, and seven transoms, six feet four by three feet two, approximately on Clementine-st, will provide plenty of natural light. There will be a steel door on Chestnut-st. It has raised the water levels in the wells of some castside ranchers who a few weeks ago were courting annexation to Anaheim in order to take advantage of annexation of the city's water system. Since they do not now face immediate prospect of expensive lowering of well pits, they are not so anxious to get into the city. In fact, A. A. Mills, who has been presenting a petition for annexation of a large territory on the north and east sides of the city, has agreed with City Manager O. E. Steward that it would be wiser to curtail the district somewhat. Instead of attempting to extend his city limits from their present boundary at East-st, thru to Placentia ave., he has prepared another petition calling for extension only 1000 ft. east of that line between North and Center-sts and between Center and Santa Ana-sts.; it will be but 500 feet to the east of East-st. Mills found that if a larger territory were included so many negative votes would be included that the success of the annexation election would be jeopardized. MORE REGISTRATION OFFICERS Announcement of additional appointments of registration deputies to aid in the work of registering Orange-co voters for 1922 was made at the county clerk's office today, as follows: F.

ACCOMMODATION The new postoffice will have 450 small lock boxes, 100 medium sized ones, 40 large ones and 12 blins.
