Miss Robinson had come to Garden Grove to visit her sister, Mrs. H. V. Newsom, according to custom every so often. She wandered away from the latter's house, intending to take a short walk. She didn't stop apparently until she had arrived at the crossing. The operators of the train, Roy Rupke conductor and S. P. Garnett, motorman, had no warning whatever of what was coming, and while an inquest will be held they will be completely exonerated. The body was hurled for ten feet, and except for an ugly wound on the head, did not bear a scratch, it is said. The fact that the woman was hurled out of the path of the train is what saved the body from being mangled to pieces. Miss Robinson was 48 years old and had lived in Garden Grove since 1887, previous to her being placed in the hospital.

Alexander Schwartz, noted labor man and former radical Socialist, who "showed up" Bolshevism, and an exhibition of boxing and wrestling by experts of the Elks' Lodge occupiel most of today's luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club at the Elks' Clubhouse S. S. Hartranft said privately in connection with his report on a recent Americanization meeting in Fullerton, that the local Rotary Club expects to have Miss Rishardson, head of the State's Americanization work, to speak under Rotary Club auspices here shortly. Schwartz went to Russia in April 1920, and spent four months in prison for criticising the government, in the course of which his wife died. He was cared for by the Y. M. C. A. after his release. He claimed to have addressed the Schate and House of Representatives, Congressman Julius Kahn presiding Emma Goldman, the anarchist, was re-admitted to this country, he declared, partly on his request, in order that Bolshevism might be revealed as it is by her, as it is being revealed by him. He has spoken in many cities of Southern California. In Russia he met Lenine, Trotzky and the other leaders of the Soviet government. Emma Goldman he met in Petrograd in June, 1920. When he was first arrested he was condemned to be shot. Schwartz condemned Bolshevism and communism in unmeasured terms and said that a republic was the solution of Russia's political problem. Finland, Estonia, Letvia etc. then would join in one government with the Russians, he said. The treaty with Germany he said was a matter of self-preservation; neither country had any love for the other. Both were compelled to buy and sell to maintain themselves. The Bolshevists numbered only 500,000 and were attempting to govern 132,500,000 people, he declared. The change had been from the extreme aristocratic government of the Czar to the extreme proletarian government of communism.
