The total registration so far, which amounts to 19,800, is divided up this way: Republicans 12,295; Democrats, 4,015; declined to state, 2,367; Prohibitionist, 665; Socialist, 231; independent, 145; non-partisan, 72; Progressive, 15; Progressive Republican, 4; Progressive 22 Pct. of Arrests For Drunkenness Practically 22 per cent of the total number of arrests in Anaheim during March were for drunkenness, an examination of the records of the police department today showed.

County Clerk Backs predicted that the grand total of registration would amount to between 30,000 and 32,000, when all figures were in, compared with 25,000 or thereabouts in October, 1920, when the last complete registration figures were recorded. This would be a gain of 25 per cent or so. It is doubtful, in Backs' opinion, whether any considerable change in the standing of the various parties will be shown, the Republicans standing approximately three to one compared with the Democrats. Some returns from all of the precincts have been received, but many of the outlying precincts are noting like complete, because no elections have been held of consequence. This is not true of the principal cities of the county, however, although even Anaheim registration figures are not yet all in. Among the chief communities which have not reported in full or only to a slight extent are Yorba, Yorba Linda, San Juan Capistrano, Olive, Bolsa, Buena Park, El Toro, El Modena and Placentia.

Zacher based his forecast on the growth in the number of telephone stations. During the first quarter of this year, according to compilations made by Manager E. A. Beard, the net gain in new stations was 91 compared with 58 in the same period last year. In spite of the steady growth in total, which on April 1 reached 1526, the percentage gain also was large than in 1921. It amounted to 6.3 percent against 5.2. During the first quarter of 1922, 193 new installations were made by Beard's force, of which 53 were made in March, 75 in February and 65 in January. The net gains in March, February and January, after subtracting phones taken out because of moving, were 22.40 and 29 respectively. Here is the story of the growth of telephone stations in the Anaheim district, the date of March 1 being selected: 1915, total number 798; 1916, 890; 1917, 965; 1918, 1020; 1919, 1290; 1920, 1009; 1921, 1214; 1922, 1504. This is more than 88 percent in seven years. While the net gain for the first quarter of this year makes a splendid showing, the total of 102 disconnections subtracted from total connections of 193 indicates the extent to which people are moving about in the city.

P. Quarton. This is equivalent to the weight of 350 persons weighing 400 pounds each. The rods alone are supposed to hold only half that. Three hundred and fifty is the seating capacity of the balcony. All of the members of the board — Henry Adams, S. D. Winter, Carner, E. J. Sparks and Charles H. Mann — were present today when the test was applied to one of the rods. In addition to the sacks, 15 men stood and made the bancony vibrate while the weight was in place. The lowest point of the balcony on the curved line nearest the stage is 12 feet above the floor, and a piece of one by three was placed between the floor and the balcony before the load was in place and afterward. No effect was perceptible. There are 14 seats between any group of three rods on the line connecting them. The support offered by the wall to which the balcony is jained throughout was not figured in. According to an expert of the architects, one rod alone would support the balcony and 350 persons if there was no vibration. The 100 per cent overload at 6200 pounds could have been doubled without serious effects, it was estimated. The bags were not gently laid or placed, but dropped, and a slight vibration only could be felt as they come to rest. Each of the rods is fastened firmly into the steel trusses above, and the main object of the test was to make certain the rods could not be dislodged by weight or vibration.

The value of property lost was announced as over £2,000,000 sterling. Continued rebellious demonstrations by De Valerites caused the Free State government to rush troops for the protection of the telephone exchange, which insurgents planned to seize. Renewed threats of a Republican coup d'état reached the provisional government early today. A force of loyal troops was sent to occupy the telephone exchange, which it was understood, was to be the first objective of the rebel attack. Many De Valerites were seen in the streets but were unarmed and were kept scattered by free state police. The rebels drifted in oh trains from the provinces. Many of them have been identified as former Republican army troopers who fought guerilla warfare against the British. SELECT JURORS FOR J. K.

AMERICAN COLLEGE WOMEN LARGER POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., April 7. If, despite appearances, the nut-brown malden still has a slender waist, it is not so slender as it was 20 years ago. At least that is true of girls who have entered Vassar college since 1804, if the statistics are to be trusted. They are "wider, taller and heavier." The waist measurements, as well as other dimensions, of 7,077 Vassar freshmen have recently been examined, collected and tabulated by a class in statistics of the economics department and the results sent to the American Statistical Association for publication. The period covered 36 years, from 1884 to 1920. During that time the average freshman has gained an inch and a quarter. RICHFIELD REMAINS OLD RELIABLE FIELD With Oil Operators Richfield continues to be the old reliable field. The Amalgamated Oil Company brought in a 600 barrel well on the Wm. Kammerer property. This well was completed at 3242 and some 400 feet of oil sand was drilled thru when drilling stopped. The Merchants Petroleum Company has just completed its third producer. No. 3 drilled to 3440 feet is on the pump making 300 barrels. The Union Oil Company's famous Morse 3 has not declined very much from the initial production. The big well started off two weeks ago at 4600 and has fallen off only 300 barrels. Chapman No. 11 recently completed at 4320 is dolgx 1875 barrels. Oil Company has succeeded in drilling by all the lost casings and is making new hole at close to 4700 feet. The outlook for a well has not changed materially for several hundred feet. The final hope now is to find something gat 4800. Richfield's deepest well is now being drilled by the Standard Oil Co.at Kellogg No. 2 is now at 5025 and the outlook for a producer is not very encouraging. Newport loomed up on the petroleum map of the south by claiming a big showing of light oil in the Long Beach Consolidated Oil Company No. 1. The cement was drilled out or the 6-in at 3363 and drilling on a few feet further a nice showing of light oil was found. The well is being tubed and preparations are being made to test out the showing. Redondo is fast taking on the appearance of Southern California's next oil field. Of the six wells drilling in this new field three are showing oil. The Chansler-Canfield's discovery well is a certainty. The C; C.M.O/a Dominguez No.1 got a nice showing at 3625 feet and set the $44. The Union Oil Company's Francis has been showing oil for almost a 100 feet. The showing at the present depth of 560 is particularly good. The General Petroleum got an excellent oil showing in Petifills No.1 at 3465. Water was successfully shut off in the Petifills at 3120 with 10-in. Interest now centers in the latest wild cat venture near Inglewood. A new company backed by Magenheimer, Keck and E.J.Miley, has leased a tract of 838 acres three miles west of Inglewood. A consideration of $30,000 was involved in the deal for the big tract. Actual drilling is scheduled to begin in thirty days. A new company is entering the Los Angeles field. The new concerns known as the Rock Creek Oil Company has taken a lease near Lankerahim and will drill a test hole.
