It was stated last night by Governor William D. Stephens before a banquet of the First Methodist church Brotherhood of La Habra. For instance, the last budget was $88,000,000 of which $45,000,000 was spent for education.

It was stated last night by Governor William D. Stephens before a banquet of the First Methodist church Brotherhood of La Habra. For instance, the last budget was $88,000,000 of which $45,000,000 was spent for education. A large crowd of men and women attended the banquet, and a special program of musical numbers and readings were given prior to the governor’s address. The governor was introduced by Claude A. Smith, pastor of the church, who stated that the present attitude of many Americans, especially of foreign birth, made him feel as did the rat when it had imbibed some bootleg whiskey: “Now, show me the old cat,” though he affirmed, not the same reasons. He introduced the governor as being from Ohio, the Mother of Presidents, and said that Ohio is a fine place to come from, but California is THE place to come to. The governor dwelt chiefly on what a wonderful state California really is, that in every county there is something extraordinary to be seen, and he asked if those present knew there is one county in the state in which there are only 250 inhabitants, the county seat of which contains only about a dozen shacks. There is such a county, Alpine, just southeast of Lake Tahoe, with its little county seat, Marksville, hundreds of miles from the railroad. But he said that the leading man of that county declare that Alpine county is going to be one of the beauty spots of the world some day—that the California spirit. He told of a visit to Smith river valley upon which occasion he was told that just anything that could be grown anywhere else on earth could be grown in Smith river valley. “Then,” said Mr. Stephens, accorded his own testimony, “Mrs. is would be glad if you could grow some more hair on the Governor’s head.” The governor stated that he had looked all the men and women in California in the face since he had been governor, going into every nook and corner of the state, and without intending any slam on the men, California women have much better looking faces than the men. He declared he would like to look into the women’s faces again. Mr. Stephens told of his vast acquaintance, his ability to remember those whom he met, and congratulated himself on his good memory. He admitted, however, that his memory was not so good as Hezekiah’s, the old southern negro in slave time. He said the devil appeared to Hezekiah’s master and asked for him because of his excellent memory; his master refused to give him up, but finally agreed to do so if he could catch Hezekiah in a lapse of memory. Accordingly, he said, the devil appeared to Hezekiah while he was plowing, and asked him if he wanted some organs. Hezekiah replied that he were electrocuted about 11 o’clock this morning when a “dead” line of which they had hold came into contact with a live line carrying 60,000 volts. The tragedy took place near Rose Drive, Yorba Linda, while the two were stringing a new line to provide additional service. The hands of both men were horribly burned. White leaves a widow and four children. The bodies were taken to the McAulay undertaking parlors in Fullerton. The tragedy is said to have been the first of the sort of which employees of the company were victims in a long time. Both men had been employed by the company for an extended period and were regarded as thoroughly reliable men. The tragedy was purely an accident, the high wind that was blowing driving the line on which they were working against the other “live” cable. Arrangements for the inquest, which will be held at McAulay’s establishment, have not yet been made, and the funeral arrangements will follow completion of the inquest. 13 MEN TO SIT ON BURCH JURY LOS ANGELES, April 12—Arthur Burch, who was saved from a verdict of conviction at his first trial by two women who held out for acquittal, will be judged at his second trial, now in progress in Superior Judge Reeve’s court, by a jury on which men predominate, it was indicted today. Only one woman was among the 11 temporarily accepted jurors who were in the box when the trial was resumed this morning. Paul W. Schenck, chief of defense counsel, excused the only other woman temporarily accepted with his first peremptory challenge.

Twenty years later Hezekiah was plowing in the same field, and the devil, according to the story, thinking that he had forgotten the former appearance and question appeared again, and said, "How, Hezekiah?" The negro, according to the governor, replied without a moment's hesitation, "Fried." Governor Stephen gave as his reason for traversing all the state, and going into every community, that he felt his responsibility to the people as one at their command, and felt that he could be a better governor by going out and talking with the people. He declared that he did not say that he had been, or is, a good governor; he is a better governor than he would have been had he shut himself up in Sacramento. He lauded Fullerton for her wonderful arrangement of schools, which, he said, are the fluest group, no doubt, that can be found west of the Rocky mountains for a city of that size. He lauded Orange-co and the whole of California for their excellent school system which is unsurpassed by any in the world, perhaps. He said that California is one of most economically administered environments in the United States, the ease of which are necessarily increasing since a family of seven can't be kept so cheaply as a family of three.

CLARK Friend Says He'll Shoot Without Hesitation, If Need Be J. H. Clark, former ower and manager of the Hotel Valencia, has received a communication from the Ku Klux Klan, ordering him to close up his business affairs and leave Orange-co at once. Clark said he had a clue as to the personal source from which the letter came. A friend of Clark declared Clark would shoot without hesitation, if need be. The letter, which is one the stationery of the order, duly signed, accuses Clark of deserting his wife—the two are stopping at the hotel—playing free with other women, in- MYERS NABS 2 MEXICAN SLAYERS Ramon Castro and Francisco Gonzales Captured on Goat Island in Coyote Creek Ramon Castro and Francisco Gonzales, who murdered Demetro Rodriguez after a pistol duel, were surprised by Vernon Myers, motorcycle officer of the Sheriff's office, on Goat Island in Coyote Creek two or three miles from Buena Park, and arrested yesterday. Castro confessed, but declared that Rodriguez also had shot at them. There was a pistol duel, following the attack of the two on their victim, who was shot in the side and then in the back of the head at close quarters. The murder took place at about C. of C. Directors to Visit Local Plants Following some careful research into the possibility of getting permanent payrolls in Anaheim, directors or Anabeim C. of C. have been taking stock of the industrial enterprises now operating here. Several of the board shamefacedly acknowledged that they had not been into the plant of the Anabeim Beef Co. Others admitted that they had not been in certain of the packing houses and none had yet visited all the different plants. It was therefore decided to go tomorrow, and see what things are made in Anaheim at first hand. The little cavalcade of directors and others will leave the Chamber of Commerce at 1:30. It may be possible to take several extra persons if such will be on hand at 1:30. An attempt will be made to pay a leased visit to each important plant. EXCHANGE DEBATES J. H. Clark, former owner and manager of the Hotel Valencia, has received a communication from the Ku Klux Klan, ordering him to close up his business affairs and leave Orange-co at once. Clark said he had a clue as to the personal source from which the letter came. A friend of Clark declared Clark would shoot without hesitation, if need be. The letter, which is one the stationery of the order, duly signed, accuses Clark of deserting his wife—the two are stopping at the hotel—playing free with other women, indulging in bootlegging, and irregularity in regard to a check. The letter is typewritten. Mr. and Mrs. Clark are dividing their time between this city and Huntington Beach, where Mrs. Clark owns some 14 cottages which are rented. Clark is a big, muscular man. He now is having an investigation made of the entire matter, and also is prepared to defend himself if necessary. He left today in his car for Los Angeles. Clark sold the hotel a year ago last December to Diehl Bros., one of whom, George Diehl, died several weeks ago leaving his brother in direct management and control. The fact that the letter was in regular form and on stationery of the Ku Klux Klan has convinced Clark that it is genuine, and he has acted accordingly. It is understood the membership of the Ku Klux Klan, especially in California, consists, for the most part of men of means and standing in the communities where the Klan is established. That the order is represented here never has been proved, but reports have been current for some time that various Anaheimers have been asked to join the Klan. Because of the activity of certain interests here in fighting bootlegging, which has been made one of the special targets of the Klan, the letter to Clark is thought of unusual significance at this time. R. R. COMMISSION WILL HEAR APPEAL The state R. R. commission is scheduled to conduct a hearing at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the Anaheim city hall on the petition of the Salt Lake Ry. for a permit to construct a line from the south city limits of Fullerton to the south city limits of Anaheim. It is understood that Fullerton council will enter an objection. WIFE'S ASHES BURIED WITH SLAIN OFFICER WASHINGTON. April 12. — The body of Lieut Col. Paul Ward Beck who was killed at Oklahoma City, and the ashes of his wife will be buried with full military honors at Arlington National cemetery late today. RAMON CASTRO and Francisco Gonzales, who murdered Denetro Rodriguez after a pistol duel, were surprised by Vernon Myers, motorcycle officer of the Sheriff's office, on Goat Island in Goyote Creek two or three miles from Buena Park, and arrested yesterday. Castro contended, but declared that Rodriguez also had shot at them. There was a pistol duel, following the attack of the two on their victim, who was shot in the side and then in the back of the head at close quarters. The murder took place at about six o'clock yesterday morning in one of the twin barns, from which Twin Barns gets it name, beyond Buena Park. A tree, behind which Rodriguez took refuge after dismounting from his bicycle, was riddled with bullets. Castro is the man who pursued Rodriguez into the barn and out again, and he fired the second shot that took effect in the victim's head. Myers had only two bullets left in his pistod, but came upon the two Mexicans unawares, as they lay in a field of green wheat. Their guns lay beneath them, but Myera gave them no opportunity to use the weapons. The two Mexicans had been on Goat Island the entire time, and the report of people living along the route of the two took, of their having passed in a buggy, was false. The men were taken to the County Jail and locked up by deputies of Sheriff C. E. Jackson's office. The inquest into the death of Rodriguez will be held at three o'clock this afternoon in the McAuley undertaking parlors in Fullerton, Coroner Charles D. Brown being in charge. The arrest by Myers, though alled by the soft ground of the field, is regarded as one of the cleverest in the history of the sheriff's office. It followed a long auto hunt by deputy sheriffs who repeatedly half circled the spot where the two Mexicans lay hidden. In addition to Castro's confession, the authorities have the testimony of another Mexican, Frank Ramirez, employed at the Twin Barns ranch, who was in the barn when Rodriguez was pursued into it by Castro. Castro was sentenced to San Quentin on a statutory charge from a point in northern California, where Rodriguez was at the time. His victim presented evidence at the time which at least helped to convict Castro. As soon as he arrived in the county, Castro proceeded to hunt up Rodriguez. He called at his house with Gonzales Monday night, and there was drinking and a violent quarrel ensued. Rodriquez has a daughter, a girl of 14 or 15, living with the family in the colony. ARBUCKLE CASE TO JURY BY NIGHT SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. EXCHANGE DEBATES ACTION ON TARIFF The matter of the tariff duties on citrus fruits, announced late yesterday as reported by the Senate finance committee to the Senate, was taken up today at the regular meeting of the directors of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and delegated by the directors to a committee, which still was in session this afternoon. Whether any action will be taken by the directors is not certain, because, as Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange and a director, said, the announcement of the duties on citrus fruits was not as much of a surprise to the directors, who have been kept informed of the progress of the citrus schedules in the Senate bill as to growers. The estimate, attributed in a published statement to L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, with headquarters at Orange, covering the southern half of the county, that the county's crop of citrus fruit would amount to 10,000 carloads compared with the 14,000 estimate of the exchange as of Mar. 1 was characterized as a "guess" by King. The Fullerton man, while refusing to give an estimate of his own, admitted that nothing had happened since March 1 to altar the exchange estimate as of that date. Regarding competition of other fruit crops, demand for which is always a factor in the market for orange, King said conditions appeared to be thoroughly normal in the United States. King refused to discuss prices, declaring that much could happen to change the market status before the season was over. He admitted, however, the truth of the report that exchange shipments last week of March were only half as large as in the corresponding week of last year, although returns were $1,800,000 compared with $1,500,000.

Paul Ward Beck, who was killed at Oklahoma City, and the ashes of his wife will be buried with full military honors at Arlington National cemetery late today. An urn containing the ashes of Mrs. Beck, who died in 1919, has been put in the coffin with the body of Col. Beck. BANDITS HOLDUP CHAFFEE COLLECTOR LOS ANGELES, April 12—Police and deputy sheriffs cooperated today in searching for three payroll bandits operating in a stolen automobile who held up and robbed W. A. Copeland, a collector for the H. G. Chaffee Co., 912 East Third street, of $2700 in cash and $3000 in checks. The robbery was staged at North Broadway and the Downey avenue bridge. FEMALE MINIMUM WAGE CUT SAN FRANCISCO, April 12—The minimum wage for women was cut from $16 to $15 per week by the Industrial Welfare Commission. California women still will be better paid than those of any other state in the Union, it is said. Plain Dealer? Vanted Coupon needed anything to top it off to please the kids, it was a Charley Chaplin comedy. When that announcement flashed on the screen, bedlam broke loose. From that point until the last of the five reels of the Jackie Coogan picture, juvenile joyousness reigned unconfined. And you can bet the kids didn't miss many points to yell "Atta Boy, Jackle," as when the world's greatest kid actor made a telling shot with a flower pot. So, don't feel sad if you failed to find Plain Dealer on the front lawn. You'll merely have to be a little quicker about fetching it in when it contains a coupon for a Plain Dealer matinee at the California. ARBUCKLE CASE TO JURY BY NIGHT SAN FRANCISCO, April 12—Gavin McNab, chief counsel for Roscoe Arbuckle, today made the final plea in Arbuckle's third trial for the vindication of the accused comedian, charged with causing the death of Virginia Rappe. He was to conclude the arguments for the defense by the end of the morning session, leaving the state free to condemn Arbuckle and demand his conviction during the afternoon. It seemed practically certain the case would go to the jury by night. STRIKING MINERS IN TWO OUTBREAKS CHARLESTON, W.

OPEN COURT WITH MUSIC SAN FRANCISCO, April 12—Music now opens court proceedings in Police Judge Lazarus' court hereafter. A phonograph was used yesterday. He admitted, however, the truth of the report that exchange shipments the last week of March were only half as large as in the corresponding week of last year, although returns were $1,800,000 compared with $1,-500,000.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR KILLED ATTACK FOLLOWS DEFI TO MIKADO AT GENOA TOKIO, April 12.—Following close on the heels of defiance of Japan by the Russian delegation at the Genoa conference, reports today carried the news that the Slav Reds had dynamited and blown up a Japanese armored train near Spasska, in Siberia. The Japanese armored train was carrying troops to a point where the Japanese authority had been defied by Russian volunteer forces and it is reported the mine was exploded under the cars, hurling them from the tracks and completely wrecking the train. The number of dead and wounded has not been reported, but it is not the dynamiting of the train itself, but the deep significance of the Russian action just at this time that is exciting official comment in the Japanese capital.

HOLD INQUEST OVER OLINDA OILMAN The sudden death of Mr. Alvin Arthur Schryer about 7 p.m. in yesterday from heart failure, while on duty at the Santa Fe oil fields, brought sadness to his large circle of acquaintances. Surviving him are his widow, two baby daughters, Olive, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Schryer, one brother, Wilfred, and two sisters Mrs. Gertrude Andrews and Miss Olive Schryer, all of Olinda.

He was gassed three times. He arrived in the United States in March, 1919, and later the same year was married to Miss Ruby Schumacher, of Olive. Their residence was made in Brea and later in Olive. Funeral services will be held tomorrow in the McAuley funeral parlor in Fullerton, Rev. Statom, of the Fullerton Presbyterian church, officiating. The Masonis will have charge of the services at Fairhaven, where interment will occur. An inquest was held this afternoon. Acute dilitation of the heart was the cause given at the inquest today into the death of Alvin Schryer, Olive oil worker, who dropped dead at the Richfield oil fields where he was employed by the Chancellor Canfield Oil Company. The inquest took place at the McAuley undertaking rooms in Fullerton. The Yorba lodge of Masons will officiate at the funeral in Fairhaven cemetery and Rev. Edward I. Statom will be the officer. WORLD FUEL FAMINE FORESEEN BY SAVANT NEW YORK, April 12.—One of these fine days civilization is going to face a collapse through failure of its supply of energy such as coal—and then the salvation of the world will have to be tackled by biological engineers, who may develop a fast growing plant which, when burned, will give the energy to run machines and the heat to cook food. This is the opinion of Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, America's electrical wizard, expressed in an article in the Survey Graphic today. $1,350,000 FOR 408 ACRES LOS ANGELES, April 12.—Sales of approximately 408 acres of land in Beverly Hills for $1,350,000 was announced.

Slav Envoys To Stick at Parley GENOA, April 12.—Despite their belligerent and pugnacious attitude that has already flung defiance in the face of three nations—France, Romania and Japan—the Russian delegates to the international economic conference have no intention of bolting. On the contrary, it was made evident today, they are determined to hold on tenaciously to their seats at the green table with the other powers.
