He pleaded guilty to the charge of speeding on July 18 and also yesterday. He was fined $25 on the first charge, and not having the money was committed to the juvenile home for 25 days. On the second charge his operator's license was re-oked for 30 days. Judge Brown stated that the sentences would not have been nearly so severe if he had come in at the beginning and answered the charge against him. The judge has a number of delinquents with whom it is likely to go pretty hard unless they show up and answer the charges against them before a warrant is issued. The judge has taken the position that it does no good for an officer to tag an offender if the offender doesn't appear and answer the charge. If they don't come in, he says, they will be brot in, and, as in the case of this young man, it will go much harder with them than otherwise. Ray Barnett was also arraigned before Judge Brown today on the charge of speeding, and was fined $5.

JAP SINGER'S FAMILY OBJECTS TO U.S.TOUR TOKIO, July 31.-All Japan looked with interest today upon the domestic battle being waged by the family of Tamaki Miura, pretty Japanese prima donna, to prevent her from sailing for the United States Aug. 2 to resume her opera engagements in the role of Madame Butterfly. The nation, from press comment, appears to side with the family. Members of her family have cabled Honolulu that she will be unable to open her tour there "because of illness." Mme. Miura, frantic over the opposition from her family, said today: "After I have brought fame to my family, they are acting in an unreasonable manner. I have supported my husband for 10 years, yet now he insists that I give up my career. I am determined to go." CHIEFS IN STRIKE SETTLEMENT PARLEY WASHINGTON, July 31.-Confidence prevailed generally in cabinet circles today that this week—the seventeenth of the nation wide coal strike and the fifth of the railway strike—will see the passing of the grave industrial crisis which has kept the country in a ferment of uncertainty and anxiety.

The case establishes something approaching a record in Orange-co courts. The plaintiff's action grew out of an accident on June 29 of last year in which she suffered a compound fracture of one leg, several broken ribs and various bruises. She alleged that Kneip's auto rode her down at a crossing on West Center-st. For medical services and hospital treatment alone the plaintiff demanded $1,280. The stipulated judgement was reached before the case actually came before Superior Judge K. S. Mahon, who was sitting. THOUGHT HIMSELF "SNAG" IN CHANNEL LOS ANGELES, July 31.—So that his family might "have a clear road and go ahead and be happy," Captain Charles Peterson, a sea captain, recently master of the sailing vessel John N.

CROW LYING NEAR DEATH UNIONTOWN, Pa., July 31.—United States Senator William N. Crow was reported near death today. Crow, who has been in ill health for months, suffered a relapse yesterday; Senator Appears at Principal Cities, Fullerton Brass Band in Lead Preceded by a brass band from Fullerton, U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson today carried his right for re-nomination into Orange County. Johnson arrived at San Juan Capistrano at 10:05 a.m., today, accompanied by his aides. While not scheduled to speak there, he gave a brief address in which he again attacked "The same old gang," defended his stand on the question of the League of Nations and declared he always had worked for peace. He asserted he had opposed the league because he did not believe it provided the proper method to obtain peace. Seven millions voters, he said, had supported the position he then took by voting in a Republican administration. The band, which was provided by W. N. Irwin of Fullerton, is preceding the Johnson party at each town where stops are made. Leaving Capistrano, Johnson and his followers went to Huntington Beach, arriving at noon. There the Senator spoke from a truck on a vacant lot on Main street. Attorney J. L. Hausch introduced him. His speech was in much the same vein as on previous occasions. He arrived at Orange about 2:30 as scheduled to reach Anaheim at 3:30 and at Fullerton at 4:30. He will speak at each town. At Santa Ana he will appear at 8 o'clock tonight in the Yost Theater. The Johnson meeting here will be held at the New Grand Theater, City Attorney Hans Weisel introducing the speaker. Mayor William Stark, Weisel and others were among the Anaheimers (who met Johnson's party at Capistrano). On the stage here today besides these two will appear Attorneys O. T. Cailor and Leonard Evans, vice-chairman for Anaheim. D. Eyman Huff of El Modena is chairman of the big reception committee made up of representatives of the various towns which is escorting Johnson about. The vice-chairmen are: Santa Ana—J.P.

Howard Turner, Dr. C. D. HIRAM JOHNSON Every Member of the Family Appealed To and Pleaseed By The Mysterious Cowboy "KAFATERIA-ING" and not profiteering in shoes—that is the splendid motto of the Kafateria Shoe Store at 109 West Center street. Founded in this city four years ago and one of a chain of nine stores doing business in Southern California, this modern and economical establishment, selling shoes of quality, has met with the approbation of an appreciative public. What advantages does this system offer? Many. Walking into the premises one finds in open sight a great array of footwear for men, women and children. Almost all of the goods is in plain sight and conveniently segregated and price-marked so as to allow of expediency in selecting the shoes that one will require. The assortment is complete; all sizes and special sizes, various styles and all of sound quality. The buying power and the efficiency of the system makes it possible to retail shoes at wholesale figures. That is the gospel truth—the exactness of their system offers to you the most attractive bargains. Shoes from fifty cents (think of it) a pair to four dollars and eighty-five cents a pair—that is the high and the low, quality follows throughout the entire scale. The leading shoe, I should say, is the well known stutz. This is a quality shoe of the first order and you are asked not one cent more than four dollars and eighty-five cents for a pair of them. That not an attractive inducement? Surely it is in these days of ten and twelve dollar shoes. Other popular shoes are there such as the Hannan and the Regal and likewise they cost but four eighty-five. Shoes of this order are in stock boxes. The Kafateria idea, as may be supposed, is the system of helping yourself. Here this can be done but there are always courteous and competent clerks to assist you. There is a great variety of other shoes of various makes and styles—all of them manufactured for this institution. I saw shoes of substantial quality at one dollar a pair—they were not specific sizes. They were nothing more than gifts. A sale takes place in this house on every Saturday. Go there and you will encounter bargains galore with a smooth working system of selling shoes. They average six employees on a week day and Saturday always calls for eighteen help. Mr. H. H. Nickel, the general manager of the local store was raised in the shoe business. He has lived in Southern California for twenty years and he is the right man to take care of the shoe requirements of the public. He is working for a progressive institution which is forever ready to promote the interests of the community. RUG THEY DROPPED APPROPRIATED, CLAIM F. J. Osborn of Long Beach, reported to the local police that as he was driving along the highway not far from his home city yesterday that a rug which was on his running board blew off, and another car which was registered in the name of J. H. White of Rogers Ranch, Anaheim, stopped, picked up the rug and drove rapidly away. He stated that there were two men and one woman in the car, and that as the car drove away the woman kept looking back thru the curtain glasses. Sheriff Jackson was notified. FREE U. S.

C. Gain to June 1 The Western Electric Company is turning over to the local branch of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. today an additional switchboard unit which will make possible 250 more lines, each accommodating a maximum of four parties each. During the past three or four months, the jump in new business station connections has been more notable even than that in new residence stations, according to Wire Chief H. C. Sampson. Speaking in behalf of Manager E. A. Beard, Sampson pointed to Anaheim's record as indicating its healthy business condition.

Foreman M. O. Paddock told the judge the jury stood 6 to 6 and that he believed there was no likelihood of a verdict being reached. For the purpose of making a final and determined effort to obtain a verdict in the case of Madalynne C. Obenchain, charged with the murder of J. Beiton Kennedy, Judge John W. Shenk called into court at 9:30 o'clock today the deadlocked jury that has been debating since Friday afternoon. A frank discussion of the case, with the idea of removing so far as possible all stumbling blocks in the way of a verdict, was the purpose of the conference between judge and jury. As the seven women and five men composing the jury tiled into court there did not appear much likelihood that they would be discharged during the day. Judge Shenk having stated that, in view of the time and expense of the second trial of the accused woman, it was only fair to the public and all concerned that no effort be spared to reach an agreement. It was reported that the length of time the jurors would be held to duty by Judge Shenk would depend largely upon their health, the judge having announced that he was concerned only with their physical well-being. He does not propose, it was reported, to endanger their health by undue hardship.

Fines of $25 will be imposed, even though the offence is petty.
