Lloyd Moore, Anaheim real estate man, for whom a bench warrant was issued, but not served. Because of illness or alleged illness of Moore yesterday Attorney W. I. Gilbert of Los Angeles, for the defense, asked that the trial be continued until Moore could appear. His request was denied by Superior Judge Z. B. West. Moore's memory was very hazy and his appearance on the stand of no moment. He could give little aid to the defense in proving that Hodges was a member of the firm when Hodges drove away in the Hupmobile and took a trip to San Francisco and back to San Diego several months ago. He said his mind had been a blank for 24 hours, and his behavior and appearance indicated that his physical condition was weak. He could not remember, he said, what had passed in conversations with Hodges and others in connection with the forming of the new partnership. He identified his own signature on several documents in connection with the sale of the interest of Rona Brothers in the motor company to F. E. Valentine. The defense tried to show that Hodges was admitted as a partner at this time, out that his interest was kept in escrow and not revealed, in order to protect him for about a year against creditors. Moore had come back to Santa Ana today from Long Beach. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley is representing the people in the prosecution of the case. ARBUCKLE SAILS FROM S.F.

Ordinance No. 375, or at least certain sections of it, leave much to be desired. Section 8 of the latter ordinance, permite anybody to park his car two nights hand running on Los Angeles-st., then move to Center-st, and repeat the performance and after that return to Los Angeles-st. This he can keep up indefinitely without fracturing the law.

"The words 'night time' as the same are used in this section are defined to mean the period of time between the hours of 1 o'clock a.m. and 6 o'clock of the same day. "Actually 'night time' may include two or three hours of the night preceding 1 a.m., so that two full nights may be consumed. The penalty is a maximum fine of $100 or thirty days in jail or both."

The Kansas industrial court was trying to find out how much it cost a girl in the Middle West to dress. The big mistake was made when the job of listing girls' clothing was turned over to men, while the task of setting down the prices was turned over to Miss Burger. The men, in their ignorance, listed such things as corsets petticoats, corset covers and woolen stockings when everyone knows that no girl wears those things any more. That's all—She—that's all. WOMAN SEEKS POST AS U. S. DIPLOMAT COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 16. The diplomatic world has been comparatively free from the invasion of women up to this time, but now the masculine monopoly is threatened.
