TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER THE blossoms on the new lily-ponds are developing rapidly. Soon they'll be as prolific as at Balboa park. San iDego. You should step over and have a look at them. Don't forget, however, that you must get around before 4 p.m. for they close up early. You knew that, didn't you? Well, I didn't either until park employees told me. A WARM, drowsy mid-afternoon; nothing stirring but the leaves in the lary breeze. A nearly-new flivver containing an average appearing matron and three or four children, well dressed, stops at the side of the road on the edge of the city. A door of the sedan opens and a sack is cast to the roadside. The door closes and the car goes on its way. Did the back move? After a moment there is no mistake, it is violently agitated, then subsides again to an inert heap. Now it is again in commotion. Yes, it continues to wriggle and toss about. Suddenly an object bursts free and looks about in bewilderment and fright. It moves off slowly, badly frightened and completely mystified, thru the orange grove toward a house and barn not far distant, its coat badly ruffled. It was a full grown, comfy-looking family cat, evidently well fed, suddenly out off from all visible means of support and cast among strangers in a strange place. I hope it was on the back door step awaiting the return of the family in the flivver when they reached home.

I hope it was on the back door step awaiting the return of the family in the fliver when they reached home. TAKING no chances on his casual reading some of their literature, the I. W. W. has sent Postmaster J. H. Whitaker a pamphlet entitled "Why and What Is the I. W. W." The pamphlet comes from the Equity Printing Company, Inc., of Seattle. The postmaster is still wondering why he was picked for the honor. MY attention was attracted to a beautifully hand-carved library table in a display window of the Riutcel-Wethered Furniture Co. It was made some years ago by a German of the old school at Leadville, Colo., and is the property of C. C. Lamb. The top of the table contains an Elk's head in relief. A placard states that it took 11 months to make it. I believe it. I WAS certainly glad to learn that we still have ornamental lights on Center-st, says Bill Heying. "They were washed yesterday, I think for the first time in a year. The dust was greatly reducing their efficiency," says Bill. IDON'T KNOW what they're ever going to do with all the grapes they're growing these days, says Bud McAlway. Yes, he owns a grape ranch. "Three years ago there was no cultivation in the 65 miles between Bakersfield and Tulare," says Mac. "Now, I don't believe there is three miles that hasn't been set out to grapes." "I notice local Japs are asking 15 and 20 cents a pound for grapes, I would like to sell them at $4 a truck-road." YES, someone has no false teeth today.

I think we should improve the county harbor. BOLSHEVKI Only Manual Workers Vote — City Worker Gets Two Votes, Farmer 1 Conditions in Russia under sovietism were vividly described today to Kiwanians at their weekly luncheon in the American Legion clubrooms by Baroness Ottily de Ropp of Glendale, who was imprisoned in Russia for a time. Altho it is some time since the ex-noblewoman has been in Russia, she has kept in touch with the situation there thru friends. Only manual workers have the vote in Russia said the Baroness and it takes two votes of the farmers to equal one of the city laborers. Professional and business men have no vote whatever. The banks are all government-owned and will loan money only at the exorbitant interest rates of 16 to 18 per cent per month. Passenger service on the railroads, which formerly was on good coaches, now is by freight cars. It is illegal to teach religion to children under 18 years old. The Russians are eager to come to the United States, and some of them pray daily that the means to do so may be found. The present government is very strongly entrenched, according to the ex-Baroness. It is in control of 600 magazines of the country, and the propaganda made possible by that means enables it to keep a firm hold of things. The son of the Baroness, Barron Ergon de Ropp, a former officer in the guard of the Imperial family, was confined for nine months in the Bolshevik prison and escaped torture and death only thru the intervention of Maxim Gorki, the famous Russian writer. In 1921 he escaped with his wife and little son into Lithuania. Fred Backs, was chairman of the day, at today's meeting of the Kiwanians.

Plain Dealer Ads Bring Results. Mrs. M. M. Barnette, of Newport, well known in Anaheim where she formerly conducted a beauty parlor, and her daughter, known here as Pansy Porter, a striking blonde movie actress, were here today with a warrant for the arrest of the son-in-law and husband, a salesman for a Long Beach motor agency, as the aftermath to what they termed was a family row at their cottage in the beach resort Sunday.

PLANES RACE ACROSS Tells of Conditions in Russia POLICE WON'T FIGHT FOR REWARD Deny Squabble Over Reward of Several Thousands for Padilla's Capture CHRISTIAN CHURCH ADOPT FOR BEAUTIFUL $90,000 -A feature of beautiful structure will be provision for lighting and ventilation. -There will not be a dark corner REWARD Deny Squabble Over Reward of Several Thousands for Padilla’s Capture Press reports that there would be contest between citizens and members of Fullerton police department for the reward offered for the arrest of F. B. Padilla, confessed arsonist and murderer, by the Japanese society of Fresno, were dashed this morning when Arthur Eels, Fullerton chief of police, announced emphatically that his department was not going to be mixed up in any such contest. "We are here for but one purpose", affirmed Mr. Eells, "to enforce the law. That’s what we’re paid for, and we’re not seeking any rewards. Life is too short to be mixed up in a squabble for money Money is not everything." Guy Dunham and R. F. Miller, employees of the Placentia Orange Growers Ass'n claim to have captured Padilla, and, according to Dunham, have filed formal claim for the reward offered. Fresno and Sacramento papers quote Jake Riest, Fullerton police officer, who probably more than anyone else was responsible for obtaining Padilla’s confession, as also a claimant for the reward, ranging, according to various reports, from $1,000 to $7,000. Digest emphatically denies all reports which connect his name with this claim. He says he worked hard on the case, and other officers did also, and but for their combined efforts in teamwork the confession could never have been obtained. He says that if a reward were offered him he would accept it, but as for seeking it, he will do nothing of the kind. He says that workers on the case from every angle deserve credit for what they have done, and that no one can claim credit for having done it all. Anyway, as an officer, he says he could under no condition, lay claim to a reward. Many doubts are expressed whether any reward will be paid anyone since the reward was offered in Fresno county and Padilla is being tried in Sacramento. Digest says that Padilla is not crazy but that this is the plea under which he will attempt to escape the gallows.

The conference of miners and operators of the anthracite field broke up in a disagreement at 3 p.m. The new deadlock developed over wages John L. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers, announced. The committees had been in session four hours and 30 minutes. The eyes of representatives of both sides are now turned to Washington as the next move is up to President Coolidge and the U. S. Coal Commission, Lewis said. The dead lock came when Samuel D. Warriner, chief spokesman for the operators, after hearing further arguments of Lewis for the wage increase, replied flatly that the operators could not and would not grant an increase. According to Lewis, no compromise offer was suggested by the operators. Following this, for purposes of the record, the miners made a formal motion that the increase be granted. The four miners’ representatives voted for the motion and the four operators. Congregation Has $54,000 for Substantial Start Toward Building Fund The building and finance committee of the Anaheim Christian church last evening formally approved the plans for a beautiful temple to cost $90,000. The edifice will be modern in every respect, special attention having been given to the lighting and ventilation after inspection of the finest church structures in the south. There will not be a dark corner in the building not even the basement which will have large windows. The construction will be concrete to the main auditorium floor and above that frame with stucco finish. The main auditorium with gallery will seat about 500. There will also be a Sunday school assembly room seating 200. Thirty five Sunday school class-rooms will make possible a completely departmentalized bible school. In the basement will be large dining room and kitchen. It has not been decided what color or exterior will be finished in. The site is at the southwest corner of Helena and Broadway with main entrance faced by tall pillars and by broad steps leading from Broadway. The building and finance committee is J. D. Guy, D. J. Pitts, H. S. Leavitt and W. F. McClellan. Wm. Sheppherd of Pasadena is architect. As a very substantial start toward the building fund, the congregation has $54,000 in money and collateral. It is planned to hasten construction as rapidly as possible. CARSEN ARRESTED HE HE VISITS L.A.

When he returned, hot and periparing, he was provoked to find his wife had placed some boards under the rear wheels and driven out of the sand. Charging her with risking a burned out motor, one word led to another until Mrs. Barnette says she had to take a chair to drive her son-in-law out of the house. Miss Porter says she gave her husband a diamond ring last week which he pawned for $500 and that yesterday she was surprised to find he had borrowed $500 from a Long Beach doctor on the car which was purchased in her name. She recalls signing something, she says, which was to change the registration. The dead lock came when Samuel D. Warriner, chief spokesman for the operators, after hearing further arguments of Lewis for the wage increase, replied flatly that the operators could not and would not grant an increase. According to Lewis, no compromise offer was suggested by the operators. Following this, for purposes of the record, the miners made a formal motion that the increase be granted. The four miners' representatives voted for the motion and the four operators' representatives against it, and in accordance with the usual custom, the motion was declared lost. Then the miners, holding that as no decision could be reached on this major issue it would be futile to continue negotiations, and the conference was adjourned, subject to the call of the secretary. The miners committee announced they would hold a conference to decide on their next step. The operators will go into session and, it was expected, issue a formal statement of their position.
