LEGISLAT Many Northenders Receive HEYING WINS IN POULTRY DISPLAYS Many Awards for Fancy Work Come to Needle-Workers Near Anaheim. COURT BAFFLED LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.—One of the strongest tangles ever seen in local courts today, baffled Superior Judge Hardy as the trial of A. F. Champion, charged with the "crap game" murder of John Goldy, Jan. 19, 1922, was resumed. The unusual tangle was that two Harry Smiths were in court, each trying to impeach the testimony of the other, both claiming he was an eye-witness to the killing. E. C. Doyle, San Diego auto salesman, and one of the Smiths have already testified. Both Doyle and Smith testified that Champion slew Goldy with a revolver during an argument over a crap game, but they also said a girl was present at the game. CYPRESS WINS PLAC.

Staff Correspondent) CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 26. — A revolutionary outbreak took place in Turkey today. A former deputy in the national assembly at Angora, supported by a strong group of armed men, has taken to the mountains where he is preparing to make war against the nationalist government. The government has the situation well in hand and officials claim there is no possible chance of the revolution succeeding. However, the episode foreshadows an era of internal trouble in Turkey. Discontent is spreading rapidly. The people are nervous and restless after more than ten years of almost continuous warfare. One of the chief causes of discontent is the wretched living conditions of the bulk of the population. Food and money are scarce and rents are high. Taxes are higher than ever before. Government officials admit that the task of setting Turkey on her feet is almost a super human one. CLAIMS CITY HAS 12,500 POPULATION There's no doubt at all about Anaheim's having a population of 12,.500 says Postmaster J. H. Whitak- L. A.

BRITISH CABINET TALKS RUHR ISSUE LONDON, Sept. 26. — With Premier Stanley Baldwin presiding, the cabinet met today to discuss Germany's unconditional surrender to France on the Ruhr issue.

Finley, messenger for the Anaheim postoffice, doesn't let a little thing like missing the Santa Fe mail train bother him. A few days ago he missed No. 71) the train which leaves here about the middle of the morning, so he turned the nose of his trusty "Lizzie" Ford toward Fullerton and beat the train to it.

WE RAISE ORANGES Anaheim is so well known that letters are misdirected to the city, says Postmaster J. H. Whitaker. That happened recently with a letter addressed to a banana firm in Honduras. Washington re-directed the letter to Anaheim. "Yes, we have no bananas here," commented the postmaster. RY. WORKERS WON'T WORK FOR FRANCE ESSEN, Sept. 26. — Ruhr railroad workers unanimously decided today not to work for France. FOR RESULTS—Try a Plain Dealer There's no doubt at all about Anaheim's having a population of 12,500, says Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, confirming the estimate of the C. of C. Inasmuch as the postmaster's estimate is usually the most conservative made, Whitaker's statement is significant. Furthermore, Whitaker declares that there are at least 1,000 persons living within a mile of the city boundaries, not including Fullerton and Orangethorpe folk. Whitaker again this week nudged the department at Washington in the ribs, so to speak, to awaken it to the fact that Anaheim's service needs have not yet been met. Every day in one way or another evidence of Anaheim's growth is pilling up, and Whitaker is using all of it, including many stories published in the Plain Dealer, to prove his claims. WOMAN ROUTS COP LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26. — Leveling a revolver at Deputy Sheriff Llewelyn, who went to her home in N.Catalina street to attach an auto, Mrs. J. C.

Staff Correspondent) OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 26.—Declaring they were "dispersed at the point of the bayonet," the Oklahoma legislators who sought to assemble today at the state capitol only to be ordered from the building by the military, this afternoon announced in a statement to the people that "the fight has just begun." The indignant members of the lower house went to their hotel downtown, three miles from the capitol, immediately after being ejected from the state capitol and held a meeting. Many of the legislators were furious. When they came back to the Hotel Skirvin, where they have their headquarters, they found, they said, that Governor Walton's "gunmen" were in their rooms. Words were exchanged and the visitors were ordered out. They left. Headed by Representative W. D. McBee, who had called the meeting of legislators here for the purpose of impeaching the governor, they held a caucus, following which McBee gave out the following statement: "This fight has just begun. "We have the legal right to assemble both as citizens for redress of grievances, and members of the house of representatives, as a body to inquire into the state of public affairs. "We have been acting in a peaceful and lawful manner and will continue to do so, and the people of the state are assured that nothing will be left undone to see that order is brought out of this chaotic condition, and the dignity of the law is vindicated and constitutional government, with all three branches thereof properly functioning, re-established in this state. "This is the only issue, and we absolutely refuse to be turned from it on any pretext whatever, notwithstanding we have just been, by the bayonet, dispersed from meeting at the great capitol of this state, and that we are shadowed at our private rooms and elsewhere by gunmen at the instance of the governor of this state, and not permitted to even hold a caucus in our private rooms without some form of intimidation."

Having but recently returned from a trip aboard and through the east, Sen. Johnson could but compare his own state and country to the places he had visited with all the favorable comment for California. "After studying the government of foreign countries," said Sen. Johnson, the government of the United States is the best of all," in which his audience agreed with continued applause. GERMANY GIVES UP STAMPS ON LETTERS Germany has given up putting stamps upon its letters, says Postmaster J. H. Whitaker; It has issued instructions to the effect that acceptance and postmarking of a letter indicate that the postage has been paid. This week Whitaker noted a letter bearing postage amounting to 500,000 marks, which in pre-war days would have been worth $100,000. 25 Per Cent Discount Sale: 10 days.

McBee would not say positively what the next step of the legislators would be, but intimated that it would be action in the courts—probably a federal action. He went into consultation with aids for the legislators. Governor Walton, asked by International News Service for an expression as to the outcome of the day's hectic events, said: "I said they would not meet—and they didn't. I do not want to make any further comment, however, until I am advised officially as to what will be the next procedure of the Ku Klux Klan legislature." By JAMES L. KILGALLEN (I. N. S.
