CARR GETS SALARY; LEGAL HISTORY IN MANDAMUS ACTION Establishing what is in Orange county a precedent and what may become legal history. Superior Judge R. Y. Williams in a decision on Carr vs. Jerome handed down an opinion made public today, ordering the county auditor to pay the county motorcycle officer his February salary of $200. Jerome had disregarded the salary warrant and District Attorney A. P. Nelson issued a mandamus. It is the latter on which the decision is given. Unless the Supreme Court's decision at Oakland, not yet made public if reached, settles the matter otherwise, Nelson now can make further appointments of like sort. The whole action was impersonal, and Carr merely happened to be the man in question. Judge Williams in his opinion quotes Sec. 4307 of the Political Code which says that "all expenses necessarily incurred by the District Attorney in the detection of crime and prosecution of criminal cases and in civil actions and proceedings and all other matters in which the county is interested are County charges." Jerome had based his refusal to honor the warrant on the ground that the appointment by Nelson of Carr was invalid because it was in effect adding a deputy, contrary to Forward vs. San Diego. Jerome's view was that this case overturned previous decisions. Illustrating the way in which Sec. 4307 had been applied in a like case Judge Williams quotes Langdon vs. Koster, Auditor of the City and the County of San Francisco, a case also decided in the plaintiff's favor. The Supreme Court in that case was unanimous. Even in the case of Forward vs. San Diego, the court did not hold an unfavorable opinion, unless indirectly, says Judge Williams, by holding that if the duties are performed such as belong to any particular office, an additional deputy cannot be paid for the performance of the same." BOY SCOUTS PLAN BIG CELEBRATION Saturday, March 24th, will be one of the big days of the year for scouting in Orange county, when the Memorial Drive on which the scouts of Orange county have been working the past year will be formally dedicated. Mr. W. E. McKay, a former scoutster and who is the originator of the plan for the Memorial Drive will act as chairman of the day. It presentatives of all patriotic bodies have been extended an invitation by Mr. T. E. Stephenson, chairman of the Memorial Drive Committee to have representatives present at this program. The first marksmanship day to be held in Orange county under the direction of Col. M. D. Wellington was voted a great success by the twenty scouts who were present at last Saturday's meeting. A number of very good scores were run up and several boys have promised that by the time the next class meets a month from now they will be ready to qualify for the merit badge in marksmanship. The two courts of honor held last week were attended by more than 100 scouts and visitors. A large number of second class, first class and merit badges were awarded at that time. The next court of honor is to be held in Santa Ana in the city hall for district No. 1 and No. 2, Friday evening, March 23rd. FULLERTON WINNER TRIANGULAR MEET Fullerton won the track meet with Santa Ana and Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach yesterday. Fullerton won 75 1-3 points; Huntington Beach, 36 1-3 points; and Santa Ana, 5 1-3 points. Huntington Beach won the first place in the rollle and half mile, Santa Ana in the 220 yard run, and Fullerton won the first place in all other events. ONE MORAL STANDARD NEARER IN ENGLAND Judge Williams quotes Langdon vs. Koster, Auditor of the City and the County of San Francisco, a case also decided in the plaintiff's favor. The Supreme Court in that case was unanimous. Even in the case of Forward vs. San Diego, the court did not hold an unfavorable opinion, unless indirectly, says Judge Williams, by holding that if the duties to be performed such as belong to any particular office, an additional deputy cannot be paid for one performance of the same. There are reports that representatives of the Standard Oil Co., have been working in the field, but they are very secretive. Geologists have been busy and the general reports are favorable. It is generally thought that the oil which lies in a double fold, is doubly valuable in that it can be reached in some places at the remarkable depth of only about 1000 feet. George Fullerton, a former geologist with the Standard Oil Company, has looked over the Phillips ranch southwest of Cypress and C. R. John ranch west of Cypress. He said on the latter place there are three distinct strata of oil. He has been following up the oil situation for years. Another geologist claims that the oil map shows the cross between the four fields, lying immediately south-west of Cypress in his belief the oil to be found there would be the center from other four fields would be tributary. Henry Hughes, former Jordan salesman, who had leased the John Kester ranch, for three years, and purchased the stock, bought the Kester ranch, covering 26½ acres for $20,000 last Friday. Saturday he was offered $35,000 cash. Today he has another offer of nearly $40,000. Both parties billing for the place would subdivide oil units. Another Analeimer, according to Mr. Hughes who has large financial backing, is willing to finance an oil well on the place. Some oil experts on the ranch yesterday said there are three strips of oil, one 50 feet in width, another 35 feet in width and still another 25 feet in width across the field. Really sales have been good the last week at great increases. RADIO DEPARTMENT Saturday seemed to be the open season for radio in Anaheim. One could walk along the street and hear an organ recital being played in San Francisco, followed by music played in Los Angeles, which could be heard for 20 blocks away. No doubt a number of amateurs were disappointed that they could not stop their sets from howling when they were trying to get San Francisco, and it may help to reconcile them, if they know that in all probability it was not the fault of their tuning, but of some other receiving sets, which were occillating into an antenna which should have been using a loop. A receiving set is also a transmitting set with certain adjustments. The average set can be used to transmit several miles and this accounts for a great many squcals and howls heard Saturday night. Don't try to transmit with your set, however even if you know how. Fullerton won the track meet with Santa Ana and Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach yesterday. Fullerton won 76 1-3 points; Huntington Beach, 36 1-3 points; and Santa Ana, 5 1-3 points. Huntington Beach won the first place in the race and half-mile, Santa Ana in the 220 yard run, and Fullerton won the first place in all other events. ONE MORAL STANDARD NEARER IN ENGLAND LONDON—A single standard for men and women in England appears likely. The equal rights measure has passed its second reading in commons. The measure would abolish the cruelty or desertion proofs now necessary before a woman whose husband is guilty of misconduct can obtain a divorce. A man can secure a divorce merely by proving infidelity. Labor members howled down objections by conservatives, who insisted irresponsible by a man is far more excusable than on the part of a woman. LAUGHS ABOUT "WIND" Mr. Sam Prather, of Springfield, Ill., is the custor of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene R. Gordon. Mr. Prather is greatly enjoying his drives over the southland and looks askance when mention of the "terrible wind" of the past few days is made. He says it is no wind at all, and is so taken with the country that already he is planning a return trip. HUNGRY TOWN NEW YORK—Paris cats, in one year, 359,140 head of cattle, 1,127,526 sheep, 208,526 lambs and 424,988 pigs—done beautifully into boon a la mode, raagout de mouton, petit agnon fareie, pieds do pore, tripe a la mode de Caen and all that sort of thing. MOTHER SLAYS THREE BABES TEDDINGTON, England, March 20—After having written a note declaring she did not want her children to face the unhappiness of life, Mrs. J. Ellisdom drowned her three babies aged three, four months and five weeks, and then ended her own life with death. 51 TAXES IN GERMANY BERLIN, March 20.—German citizens are subject to 51 different kinds of tax. The federal government has 40, while the municipalities add 11 more. They include beside the regular income tax, property tax, poll tax, etc., a tax among other things on beer, wine, amusements, dogs, autos, taxicab rides, horses, travel, coal, tobacco, mineral water, vinegar, sugar, salt, matches and playing cards. PFENNIG IS GONE BERLIN, March 20.—The German pfennig is no more. Once upon a time a few pfennigs would buy a pound of butter, a healthy-looking cigar, a ham sandwich of comfortable size or serve as a generous tip. Those days are gone, the German believes forever. Everything today is reckoned in tens and hundreds of thousands of marks. HUNGER KILLS 180,000 RIGA, Latvia, March 20.—Official Soviet figures published here show 180,000 died from hunger between Sept. 1 and Nov. 15 in the Ukraine and Volga territory alone. GASOLINE BURNS MAY BE FATAL TO WOMAN LOS ANGELES, Mar. 21.—Wrapped in flames when gasoline ignited while she was cleaning a pair of gloves in a garage in the rear of her home, Mrs. Edward H. Mitchell of 623 North Isabel street, Glendale, wife of a Los Angeles attorney, was burned perhaps fatally today. The garage in which Mrs. Mitchell was working was burned to the ground. Two children, one 2 years of age and the other 2 months old, are being cared for by neighbors. Mr. Mitchell was in Riverside and rushed to this city when notified of the accident. SUGAR COST TO TAKE DROP TOMORROW SAN FRANCISCO, March 21. — Sugar will drop 25 cents in California tomorrow. The California-Hawaiian Sugar refinery, one of the largest producers in the country, today announced a new basic price of $9.35, effective March 21. The previous price was $9.60. The figure quoted is for sugar at the refinery. It marks the first cut since the recent sudden increase in sugar prices started. FULLERTON PAVING DELAYED TILL JULY Fullerton trustees last night announced that work on the proposed new paving projects in Fullerton would not begin until July or August. Plans were submitted, and approved, for two sub-divisions, one on Commonwealth ave., and the other at Nicholas and West Commonwealth ave. The first was submitted by Johnny Powler, and the other by Robert E. Cline Co. Tentative plans for the Stern-Nicholas sub-division were also submitted by Lloyd Hulbert. Motions to abandon one unnamed alley and open another were passed. A communication was received from Mrs. E. N. Wagy saying that she was unable to replace a lamp globe broken in an automobile accident.
