HIRAM DENIES HE MADE LONG CLAIMS (By International News Service) NEW YORK, July 27—Branding it as a "gross fabrication," U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson today made sweeping denial of published statements that he had said that "he would win by a landslide" in the event he secured the Republican nomination for President in 1924. The statement was attributed to him by George Harvey, ambassador to Great Brittan, who had a talk with Senator Johnson here yesterday. Tt. California expressed amazement when it was called to his attention today. "The statement imputed to Harvey, that I said to him that if I received the Republican nomination, 'I would win by a landslide,' is made out of whole cloth," Senator Johnson said. "It is absolutely false. I saw Harvey Wednesday evening in the rooms of Mr. Kirkwood of the Kansas City Star, adjoining mine in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel." During my brief visit, made at the request of Mr. Kirkwood, both he and William Hard, the well known journalist, were present. "There must be some mistake in quoting Harvey, for he knows, of course, that the statement attributed to him is a gross fabrication." Senator Johnson added that the meeting with Ambassador Harvey was of short duration. Johnson, since his return from abroad, has kept closely silent on the presidential candidate question. More surprising, however, was Ambassador Harvey's quoted reply, that he "condered Senator Johnson a little previous." "I do not believe that Senator Johnson would be elected, if nominated." Harvey was quoted as saying. "And, furthermore, I do not believe that Johnson will get the nomination." Senator Johnson had nothing to say on the presidential "bee" except to deny the reported conversation with Harvey. He said he planned to leave tonight for Washington and that he was concerned about the situation. DIES OF GRIEF AT FUNERAL OF WIFE OAKLAND, July 27. Overcome by grief while attending the funeral of his wife at St. Joseph's church here this morning, Manuel F. Bettencourt walked from the church and dropped dead on the sidewalk. Death was due to heart failure. JOILET MERCHANT KILLED BY DEPUTY (By International News Service) MORRIS, Ill., July 27. Blaney Beach, 42, owner of the largest department store in Joliet, Ill., was dead today—shot to death by a deputy sheriff as he lurked about the house of Miss Jane Remington, who had complained he was annoying her. The deputy fired, he said, when Beach resisted arrest. The girl told police she had repulsed the merchant's lovemaking several months ago and that she had "bothered" her frequently. Just before last midnight, she complained by telephone to Deputy Sheriff Clad Harrod that Beach was loitering about her place. The deputy hurried to the house. He found Beach lying on the ground in an unused lot. "Put up your hands," he demanded. Beach, Harrod reported, reached to a hip pocket as if to draw a weapon. The deputy fired. The first shot hit Beach just below the heart and killed him instantly. Miss Remington is beautiful, 26, and talented. She studied drama in a Chicago school. She and the merchant were seen together frequently until seven months ago, when they quarreled. Since then Beach had paid many visits here from Joliet. Authorities said many women in the neighborhood of Miss Remington's home had brot to their attention the merchant's frequent appearance in the neighborhood with no apparent object.

Edison Co. in Anaheim and vicinity received notification from Pres. John B. Miller yesterday that a special meeting had been called for Sept. 7, at the Edison-bldg, Los Angeles, for the purpose of authorizing a rearrangement and increase of the company's authorized stock capitalization and bonded indebtedness. District Manager W. G. Deimling said that the purpose of the proposed capitalization was for continuing the company's policy of planning ahead for the financing and construction of hydro-electric power to meet the ever increased demands of So. and Central Calif. Explaining the new plan of financing, District Manager Deimling said: "The increased authorized capital will provide a broad and strong foundation for financing through to completion more than a million additional horsepower to be installed on our Big Creek-San Joaquin project, with the necessary transmission and distribution lines throughout the ten counties in which the Edison company renders electric service. This expenditure in the next ten years is estimated to amount to $200,000,000."

NELSON DECLARES AUTO ACT ILLEGAL Declaring that the new motor vehicle act is unconstitutional, in the matter of the County Motorcycle Officers, District Attorney A. P. Nelson is preparing today to confer with the district attorneys of the other southern counties with the view of taking concerted action. The now measure provides for the payment of these officers out of the county's share of the state license fees, whereas such monies go to the good roads fund under an act still in effect, says Nelson. Nelson had hoped to call a conference of the various district attorneys at Santa Ana, but is uncertain whether he can bring this about. He planned to open the conference today. Meanwhile the board of supervisors is holding up for a week the contract forwarded to all the boards for the payment of the motorcycle officers by the state as state officers. The board may submit a lost of candidates, but the Division of Motor Vehicles need not follow it.

Few people have ever seen one. Yet the term cat fight is quite common in our speech. Recently, I had the opportunity to see the real thing. On coming to my laboratory room at 6:45 one morning, I saw no sign of a cat anywhere but I had barely got seated at my desk when I heard the most awful whimpering and crying and sobbing just outside of my window. I thought it sounded somewhat like a cat but it also sounded very much like a badly hurt or frightened child. I stepped to the window and could just see a rather large cat of the ordinary tabby variety. He was a regular picture of fear. He was half crouched, with three feet firmly planted and the right forefoot stretched out just touching the ground with all its claws working back and forth sparsmodically. His head was turned at a right angle to his body in the direction of the extended foot. The ears were laid back flat on the head, the face was distorted, the whiskers were quivering, the lips were drawn back from the teeth, and the mouth was wide open giving vent to the almost continuous yowling which had so startled me. The hairs on back and tail were bristling somewhat but not so much as is often seen. Wondering at the cause of all this commotion and demonstration, I stepped into a passageway from which a window overlooked the scene. There right at the northeast corner of the laboratory was a dark colored Angora cat frequently seen about the premises. Seen from above he appeared quite calm, although a twitching of his tall and occasional rapid movement of his jaws indicated agitation. Of course the great masses of hair over his head and body must have hidden much of the outward indications of emotion shown so strongly by the other cat. Still the fact that he stood quite erect and now then turned his head slightly as tho looking at the scenery was so different from the attitude of the other that one was tempted to think that he was merely giving a new comer a calm inspection while making up his mind whether or not to be friendly. Doubtless this attitude was due to hearing the janitor open a door and to similar interruptions. Such matters received little or no attention from Tom Tabby, however. Evidently he knew very well that he had been caught poaching on the preserves of a slightly larger cat and he was concentrating all his powers to find a way of escape. Smoke, the Angora cat, locked so selfpossessed and steady that I concluded after a moment that the whole affair was merely a heated argument with the visitor hurling epithets and calling now and then met by brief reply. Presently, I do not know how there was an enormous sphere of gyrating cats where Tom had crouched a moment before. This was surrounded by an enveloping sphere of flying fur, great tufts of it and multitudes of scattering hairs. Now and then faint glimpse could be caught of two cats in tight embrace savagey chewing at everything within reach of their teeth and at the same time working their hind legs like piston nods in the effort to tear off all the fur from the other or to rip his body open with a lucky stroke. After two or three seconds of this highly strenuous action, Tom managed to break away and start to run, but Smoke was on his back in two jumpe. This time Tom did not stop to defend himself but again broke away and flod around the corner of the library with Smoke hot upon his heels. From this exhibition it would seem that when cats fight they fight all over, and when the fight is Simply concerning some disagreement, that it does not take one of them long to find that he has enough. After seeing the enormous quantities of fur flying in the air, I was interested to see how much was left on the ground. On going down to the scene of battle, I found about a dozen good sized tufts and a few scattering hairs in place of the handfuls which had appeared to be floating in the air. Strangely enough these tufts all belonged to Smoke, the victor. Evidently victory had cost him much besides the effort. Of course his long hair was easily torn out, but it also probably saved long furrows in his skin so he may have come off better than the evidence of the hair would indicate. Anyway, he made the other fellow leave the premises. I have not seen him since, though I have seen Smoke lastly stretched out in the sun enjoying life in true cat fashion. What was the cause of all the trouble? That is hard to say, but I have my suspicions. I have recently noticed Smoke doing some courting and I suppose he must be very touchy about the subject of his affections. Tom Tabby probably lives up over the hill where he has a good home, plenty to eat and plenty of excitement. But he, too, may have wanted to do some courting and so strayted down toward the sea beach in the hope of striking up a flirtation somewhere in that section. As he was sauntering along near the corner of the laboratory, what was his surprise and terror at almost running into Smoke strolling along from the other direction. He was too close to try to run so he started to bluff in the hope of scaring Smoke away or finding a chance to run with safety.

Smoke, the Angora cat, locked so selfpossessed and steady that I concluded after a moment that the whole affair was merely a heated argument with the visitor hurling epithets and calling names in the effort to hide his feeling of guilt and fear. So I went back to my room. After a while, however, I found that the disturbance seemed to be getting worse, if possible, so I went again to the passage window. Then I could see more signs of action. The cats were now about three feet apart. Tom kept his side turned toward Smoke, but his teeth and right forefoot still pointed in that direction. His body grovelled on the ground, but every few seconds he would shift it an inch or two further away from his opponent. For every withdrawal thus made, Smoke made a slightly greater advance. He was still standing almost erect but his whole body showed extreme tenseness, and his jaws were moving rapidly and working up froth.. His advances were made with movements so slow as to be very hard to see. It was a most fascinating example of healthy approach. Evidently Smoke was playing for an opening to strike. Evidently Tom was looking for a chance to make a successful run, meanwhile keeping up his shrieking comment which Smoke SATURDAY SPECIALS White Layer Cakes, 30-50c Mocha Layer Cakes, 35-60c Orange Cakes 25c BOSTON BAKERY F.

A FAIR WARNING One that Should Be Heeded by Anaheim Residents Frequently the first sign of kidney trouble is a slight ache or pain in the loins. Neglect of this warning makes the way easy for more serious troubles—dropsy, gravel, Bright's disease. 'Tis well to pay attention to the first sign. Weak kidneys generally grow weaker and delay is often dangerous. Residents of this locality place reliance in Doan's Kidney Pills. This tested remedy has been used in kidney trouble over 50 years—is recommended all over the civilized world. Ask your neighbor. Read the following: Mrs. H. L Burns, 910 Helena st., Anaheim, says: "I suffered a lot with kidney and bladder trouble. I became run down and had a lame and aching back that made me miserable.
