Another church edifice for Anaheim!
That's the ambition of the Calvary Baptist organization, which came into being about one year ago in Anaheim and has continued to grow and thrive until the way is now clear for a church. The congregation has been meeting in Odd Fellows hall for Sunday services and at the Spanish mission church during the week.
The annual roll call meeting was held last night in the Y. M. C. A. building. Opening with a dinner in which more than 100 participated, the ball was started rolling for the new church. About $80 members responded to roll call by W. E. Bartlett, clerk, and voted to adopt the recommendation to launch a campaign to raise $10,000 for the first unit of the new Calvary Baptist church.
A loot on Citron and Broadway was purchased some months ago and the building now in mind will be used for a social hall and Sunday school as a larger church becomes necessary.
The address of the evening was by Otto S. Russell, of First Baptist church, Santa Ana, eRv. H. B. Foskett, of Los Angeles, who has been before Anaheim audiences many times, presided over the meeting.
A piano duet by the Mesdames L. W. Lundquist and J. D. Shields, a solo, "All the World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," by Mrs. A. L. Knipe; a quartet by Mr. and Mrs. Knipe and Mr. and Mrs. Dunham, composed the entertaining program.

LIKE JOB AT PLUNGE
City council now has three applications for the job of caretaker of the city plunge which is being rushed to completion. The latest application is from Earl P. Guysl, 719 Pythis-zt. It was presented to council last night and was promptly filled.
Workmen today were engaged in laying the sloping cement floor to the plunge. The bathhouse is also being rushed, the metal lath now going on for the stucco exterior. Bollers for heating the water were being installed today.
PERMIT NECESSARY TO CARRY REVOLVER
If you feel you must "tote a gun" you'll have to get a permit from Police Chief Bert Moody. The new state law provides everyone who carries a gun must have a permit signed by proper authorities. Moody presented the matter to council last night.
Council decided that if Moody considered the permit advisable such would be issued subject to approval of the council police committee.
Moody said the law prohibits carrying concealed firearms on the person or in an auto unless in a holster attached to the steering wheel post.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28.—Burned to death when the heels of her shoes caught in the door as she tried to leap from a blazing automobile, Mrs. Claire Lovett, 23, will be buried tomorrow.
Investigation of the freak accident in which the beautiful young matron lost her life disclosed that the automobile had stalled near a pool of gasoline which was on fire.
Fearing to guide the machine thru the flames, Mrs. Lovett decided to abandon it. A heel of her shoe tripped her. She pitched forward into the midst of the licking flames. When aid came, she was dead.

Unusually Fine Showing From This Side of River at Fair.
The exhibits from the north half of the County are making an unusually good showing at the seventh annual Orange-co Fair. Each of the farm centers has an exhibit, while the County Boy Scout tent owes much of its success to the lads this side of the Santa Ana, Fullerton troops sweeping off many prizes.
Next to the Cypress Farm Center exhibit, those of Anaheim, already mentioned in these columns, Fullerton, La Habra and Garden Grove excelled.
The Garden Grove Center was marked "Garden Grove, The Hub of County". In the center space lay a huge wheel, the rim formed by peppers laid flat and the spokes filled with the good things which the little community in the big gardening section raises. Practically everything produced in the county appeared to be represented.
Fullerton's booth showed for the most part oranges, lemons, grapefruit, nuts and avocados. The famous Old Missionos, California Belle Elephant and Basque brands of valencias formed the backbone of the exhibit.
La Habra was represented by a green and buff colored booth which looked like a summer house, with lemons and oranges, feijoa, pears, avocados, tomatoes, etc. Inside Flowers here and there enhanced the color scheme.
The Boy Scouts with a log cabin, derrick, woodsmen's knots, etc. furnished in their tent one of the most complete exhibits of Boy Scout work yet seen in Orange-co.
Awards in the art gallery were announced today as follows: "Edge of the Vineyard" by Ben C. Brown, first; "Sociable Solitude" by Hanson Putchow, second; "Jacob Ignoranotia" by Karl Yens, third; and these three fourths of honorable mentions—W. Griffith's "When the Tide Comes In," Edgar Payne's "Morning Vista", and Robert D. Fullonton's "Garden in Sunlight". The popular verdict would have accorded the last named a much higher place. Such a gorgeous display of color realistically and tastefully shown it is rare to witness even at Laguna Beach. The Artist's Ass'n is in charge and the Santa Ana Ebell club is looking after the tent.
We had almost forgotten the exhibit of avocados of Yorba Linda. There weren't many of them, but those of the Linda variety, huge healthy fellows, compared with some
S. A. STORE IS ROBED OF CLOTHING
Women's clothing valued at several hundred dollars was stolen last night or early this morning, when thieves using a hack saw broke into the store of Reinhaus Bros. at 202 East Fourth-at, Santa Ana.
According to N. Reinhaus, senior member of the firm, a dozen silk and wool dresses, 40 silk waists and seven dozen pares of silk stocking were found missing. The store was the best-protected in the city, according to him.
Iron grating with bars an inch thick protected the rear windows, all doors were locked and a night watchman with one or two alides patrolled the business district. But one of the bars of one window was hacked thrue, bent back, a window pane smashed, and the window unlocked.
The space made was extremely narrow, and didn't look as tho it would admit more than a boy.
Once entrance was gained the rear door was pried open and the goods taken out thru it. The saw had been thrown down after being used and it a package of blades were picked up.
The firm was robbed 10 years ago of cash, but had ben immune since.

NEW OFFENSIVE IS BEGUN ON WALTON
(By James L. Kilgallen)
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 28.—A new offensive against the military rule of Oklahoma by Governor J. C. (Iron Jack) Walton was set in motion today.
Forces opposed to the spectacular governor were bending every energy to bring about a special election next Tuesday which would decide the status of the outstanding political question:
"Shall the legislature meet for the purpose of impeaching the governor?"
The sudden new activity followed the handing down of a decision by the state supreme court last evening which sustained the legality of the special election itself as called by Governor Walton for October 2 for the submission of five proposed constitutional amendments.
Immediately the governor's opponents began feverishly working to have placed on the ballot, too, what is known as "initiative petition No. 79."
This initiative petition provides for the vitalization of the state constitution permitting the legislature to convene by a majority call. If therefore, the people of the state vote yes on the initiative petition, the legislature, which on Wednesday was dispered at the point of the bayonet could assemble immediately after the election and proceed with the business of kicking the governor out of office.
LYMAN STEWART DIES

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 28.—An alleged terrific hard to hand fight between two Los Angeles deputy sheriffs, who threatened to "shoot up" the train, and a San Francisco attorney early today created wild excitement aboard the So. Pac. "Lark."
Women passengers were frightened and Sheriff Traeger dropped all other business to make an investigation.
The deputies were Gilbert Blasdell and J. A. Riddell, returning from having taken two prisoners to San Quentin. The attorney was George L. Eagon.
Conductors and baggage men were compelled to grapple with the deputies and disarm them after, it was claimed, they drew their revolvers.
Eagen, severely injured in the fight with the two officers, was locked in the buffet car.
According to reports of officials on the S. P. and Pullman Co., the fight occurred after the trio had been drinking.
VAN BEHREN BURIAL

SHERIFF SEIZES
STILL AND MASH
Fred Casperson of Newhops road was conspicuous by his absence this morning when a squad from Sheriff Sam Jernigan's office called and confiscated four barrels of mash, a 10-gallon still, a gallon of rye whiskey, etc.
The callers consisted of Deputies Ed McClellan, Jesse Elliott and Joe Ryan, Balliffs Dan Adams and Bill Bates and Officer Peter Krauchi of the Santa Ana city force.
It is Fred's second offense, and if he is caught Judge J. B. Cox is expected to temper mercy with justice instead of vice versa.
September is going to show a tolerably busy month for Sheriff Sam Jernigan's office, and an unusually busy one for the Santa Ana police force. Possession, drunk and other cases have been numerous. The county anti-drunkenness ordinance has increased the business of the Santa Ana city office almost as much as the prohibition enforcement act did.
CHANGES PLEA
J. P. Junell, U. P. watchman on So. Spadra-rd. arrested by Fullerton police Wednesday on the charge of being drunk on duty, and who at the time entered a plea of not guilty, appeared before Judge French late yesterday, changed his plea to guilty and was fined $15.

COOLIDGE MAY REPEAL R.R. GUARANTEE
By WILLIAM K. JUTCHINSON
(Copyright 1923 by N.S.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. The Coolidge administration has virtually decided to repeal the "guarantee clause" of the transportation act as a means of bringing about a general reduction of freight rates early next year. International News Service learned today.
The Coolidge proposal probably will include restoration to the Interstate Commerce Commission, with the rate fixing powers held prior to government operation of the railroads.
Altho the compulsory consolidation program has been worked upon by government agencies for a year past, the plan has met a veritable storm of opposition, not only from railroad executives but from legislators and representatives of farm organizations as well. This opposition unsuspected when the plan was first proposed, has caused President Coolidge to definitely sidetrack it in favor of a more acceptable program.

MISGULING
First Bodies Recovered From Turbulent Stream This Afternoon.
CASPER, Wyo., Sept. 28. The first bodies recovered from the wreck of Burlington passenger train No. 30, near Lockett, were brought ashore shortly before 2 p.m.
Giving up for the time being their efforts to raise the cars that plunged off a bridge late last night, railroad crews stretched ropes across Cole Creek and reached victims of the wreck.
The first five bodies were those of M. D. Montgiorery, Denver; O. E. Gains, Denver; Eva Boyer, Mrs. Lilley Brown and John Cristie, Glen Rock, Wyo. The three latter were at first reported rescued.
CASPER, Wyo., Sept. 28. Standing on either bank of Gold Creek scores of persons were helpless early today in efforts to remove the dead from the wreckage of Chicago, Burlington and Quincy passenger train No. 30, the engine and five cars of which plunged into the raging torrent from a bridge near Lockett, 14 miles east of here last night.
The appalling disaster, the worst in the annals of Woming railroads, took a toll estimated all the way from 40 to 100.
Dr. D. J. O'Donnell, surgeon for the railroad company, declared not more than 40 were dead, but a check by International News Service in Casper and Glen Rock, indicated that between 115 and 130, passengers were on the train when it left Casper.
Thirty-four are known to have been rescued alive, and the death list depends upon the number of passengers on the ill-fated train.
The train, eastbound from Casper to Denver, consisted of an engine, a mail car, a combination express and baggage car, a smoker, a chair car and two sleeping pullmans.
A heavy downpour of rain throughout this section, followed by cloudbursts resulted in the weakening of the abuttments of the bridge over Cold Creek and when the train, travelling slowly, reached the bridge it caved in, the train with the exception of the rear Denver pullman plunging into the muddy water.
The latter car remained upright on the tracks, enabling its occupants to escape to safety. Twenty-eight persons were in this car.
Only six persons are known to have escaped from the other cars, all of which were submerged under 15 to 20 feet of water.

SHARPLY QUESTION
WRECK COMMANDER
NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO,
Sept. 28.—Commander William S.
Pye, in charge of the 31st division of
the ill-fated destroyer squadron that
was partially lost on Honda Head
with the drowning of a score of bluejackets, was recalled to the stand this
morning for cross examination before
the board of inquiry into the disaster.
Commander Pye's flagship, the
Farragut, escaped with a jagged hole
in her bottom but two of his training units, the Fuller and Chauncey,
were lost beyond salvage.
The court sharply questioned the
commander regarding his failure to
give radio and blinker light signals
to his division.
The witnesses declared that the Delphy, squadron flagship, was signaling and that he feared additional
signals would cause interference
and confusion. Also, the Fuller and
Chauncey appeared to be in clear
water 200 yards from the rocks when
they crashed on a submerged reef,
he testified.
There will be no session of the
board tomorrow, Admiral Pratt said this morning. The chairman desires
to spend the week-end aboard his
dronadnaught at San Pedro in conference with Admiral Coontz and other
leaders of the battle fleet.

Creek and when the train, traveling
slowly, reached the bridge it caved in,
the train with the exception of thurear Denver pullman plunging into the
muddy water.
The latter car remained upright on
the tracks, enabling its occupants to
escape to safety. Twenty-eight person were in this car.
Only six persons are known to
have escaped from the other cars, all
of which were submerged under 15
to 20 feet of water.
John Cristie, an oil driller of Glen
Rock, after cutting a bell cord from
the chair car, alided two women, two
children and a man to reach safety
by crawling, hand over hand, on a rope from the car to the bank of the creek. Nearly exhausted he then
reached the bank himself.
Scores of doctors, nurses, police
and volunteer workers were rushed immediately to the scene of the wreck, but the swirling, raging water made it impossible to reach the trapped passengers.
Police and railroad officials returned to Casper at 9 o'clock this morning in search of derricks and tackles to aid in dragging the submerged cars from the water of the swollen creek. At that time they said no additional rescues had been made and in all human probability everyone remaining in the train had been drowned.
S O S calls were sent out all over Wyoming and northern Colorado early today for divers and heavy hoisting apparatus and it was that removal of the dead could not be start- ed until the middle of the day.
Cold Creek normally a dry stream,
became swollen early in the evening,
following a steady downpour of rain for more than 24 hours.
According to railroad officials, a track walker had inspected the bridge only an hour before the fatal plunge came and declared it was safe. The belief was expressed that a severe cloudburst descended down the creek immediately following the inspecting,
resulting in the weakening of the bridge abuttments that caused it to give way when the heavy train ran onto it.
At 9 o'clock this morning, the locomative and cars that plunged into the water were completely submerged, except for one end of the chair car, which protruded above the still raging water. The smoking car had telescoped the chair car, both sinking beneath the water's surface.
Among the passengers known ta-
