A "statute of limitations" on mother love was on record in Los Angeles superior court today. It was fixed by Judge Edwin Hahn in the case involving the custody of Dorothy Richardson, 13, claimed by her adopted mother, Mrs. Frank Taylor of Pomona, and her natural mother, Mrs. Laura Johnston, of Los Angeles. Judge Hahn ruled that Mrs. Johnston was not entitled to the girl because she waited 13 years before making a fight for her custody. His decision fixed a 13-year limit on mother love by holding that the love of the child's adopted mother, Mrs. Taylor, was greater than that of Mrs. Johnston. 1ST MES OF COOL FINISH Awaited With terest Than An Paper in Y By GEORGE R. TO KEISER Realty Board Meeting One of Most Largely Attended in Months Hearing of charges made by returned Anaheimers of misrepresentation of former lands of the Gonzales estate being marketed by the Mexican Land Syndicate was promised here today by Edwin T. Keiser, state real estate commissioner, who added that proper publicity to the proceedings would be given and if misrepresentation existed, the company's license revoked. Robert Yoern and Carl Pressel, who recently returned from Mexico, were present, and Yoern openly charged misrepresentation. Keiser also declared that he would make an example of any surety who swore falsely in a report on a questionnaire. Questionnaires designed to obtain reports on eligibility to hold licenses, are being mailed out, and the first of them have been received here. Keiser's speech was delivered at the semi-monthly dinner of the Anaheim realty board in the Cherry Blossom. The meeting was one of the most largely attended of the past year. Discussing the case of a local realtor, revocation of whose license was sought on the ground that the proposition had been misrepresented, Keiser said that the broker had returned the deposit made and could not in his opinion have been prosecuted under the law. Secretary Jack Wallace of the Santa Ana realty board and Howard Williams of the Orange realty board were among those present. A vote of thanks to Keiser on motion of Former President J. S. Howard, was passed and a pledge to aid him in enforcing the law voted on motion of President A. E. Hargrove. Discussing the Mexican land situation, which with the matter of surety bonds required for a license occupied much of the speaking period, Keiser said that he had planned a conference with the colonization agent of the Southern Pacific in the near future. Different opinions had been voiced, he declared, on Mexican lands. He himself issued a warning a few months ago against purchasing Mexican lands, and he still thought that only men of large capital should invest. There is bound to be a lot of crafting in these Mexican lands, he said. It is unwise to purchase 10 or 20 acres there and expect OKLA.

McPherson ruled that Mrs. Johnston was not entitled to the girl because she waited 13 years before making a fight for her custody. His decision fixed a 13-year limit on mother love by holding that the love of the child's adopted mother, Mrs. Taylor, was greater than that of Mrs. Johnston.

There is bound to be a lot of crafting in these Mexican lands. He said it is unwise to purchase 10 or 20 acres there and expect to make a profit. He said he was sorry for anybody who had invested. Describing the day's work on the road, Keiser showed the large amount of travel he had to do and variety of cases he had to handle. He has no jurisdiction in the matter of commissions between brokers and cannot say what the amount of a commission shall be, he averred. He approves of a suggestion of Hargrove's that license fees be largely devoted to the benefit of the brokers themselves. One of the causes for revocation of license is that of falsely swearing that no aid in answering the questionnaire has been given. Regarding personal bonds, which he had at first refused to accept, he said they were accepted now, but personal sureties were obliged to possess the sum of $4000 clear in property or cash, if the sureties were to be taken. He himself wasn't responsible if a false oath had been made by sureties. But he was responsible in seeing that sureties were made good, and expects to probe the applications of every broker and their sureties. Some criticism has been made of him here, he said, about the way bonds have been written, that companies had issued sureties without investigating the case. The commissioner said he didn't know but that such charges sometimes were true. Answering a question regarding one McDonald of San Diego, who had advertised a book which he claimed helped the broker to answer the questionnaire, he said McDonald had agreed to take out any parts of his book which Kel (Continued on Page Eight) KLAN WINS POINT OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 28.—Senator Harry B.

HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—President Coolidge's first message to congress, awaited by the nation with more interest than has attached to any state paper in years, was finally concluded today and placed in the hands of the public printer, a week in advance of its delivery. Unusual secrecy has been observed in its preparation and not even the president's closest advisers are familiar with all the provisions of the document. The president has consulted widely but he has written it himself, and as finished, it represents the advice of the administration' best minds, supplemented with Coolidge's own observations as to the state of public opinion. From reliable sources, it is understood that Mr. Coolidge has succeeded in effecting a compromise on one of the most politically troublesome policies he has had to deal with in the preparation of his first message—the issue presented by the question of American entrance into the permanent court of justice. President Coolidge is expected in authoritative Republican quarters to endorse American adherence to the court as proposed by the late President Harding, but accompanies his endorsement with the recommendation that distinct reservations be attached that are calculated to remove some of the present features of the court that are objectionable to many Republicans." These "objectionable features" are mainly concerned with the manner of election of judges. As the court is now constituted the league council and assembly elects the judges and to a certain extent exercises supervision over its entire structure—a fact which prevented Senate ratification of the project when it was first brot forward. Mr. Coolidge has been in frequent consultation the last few days with some of the court's most bitter foes, and as a result of his conferences it is understood he has decided to recommend American adherence to the court on condition that the power to elect judges be transferred from ASPHYXIATED IN MANHOLE AT LA HABRA H.

The trio swept into the city in an auto carrying a Mississippi license and drove directly to the bank. One stationed himself across the street directly in front of the bank, another stood guard at the entrance, while the third covered a lone clerk and gathered up all the cash in sight. BANDITS BATTLE WOMAN, ESCAPE An attempt on the part of two robbers to loot the home of Neal and George Edgar, 2304 Spurgeon ave., Santa Ana, was upset by Mrs. Neal Edgar Tuesday night. ASSURED Real Thanksgiving For Community When First Hole is Started Cypress community is in breathless anticipation today of an event which will mean much to that thriving vicinity when work on Gaddle Development Well I will be started. Operations will begin tomorrow on the Wm. Wicker ranch, one mile south of Cypress, a portion of the 600 acres now under lease south, north and east of Cypress. Should there be any kind of showing of oil three test wells will be put down. Leases, in escrow in the Artesia bank, call for one well to every five acres, the wells all to be in operation in not less than three years. Should the work not conform to the letter of the leases, they will be declared forfeited. Machinery is installed, boilers are bricked up, oil tanks in place and the rotary drill is in location. Sites for refineries have been sold to Julian and the Ryan Refining companies, and others are negotiating for locations. As a result real values in Cypress are sourcing and prospective buyers are hurrying to get their purchases through as soon as possible. The new business block is nearing completion and Cypress is humming with activity. REVIEW RECORDS IN CRAIG CASE WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—The entire record in the case of Comptroller Charles L. Craig of New York City, whom President Coolidge has been asked to pardon to keep from serving a 60-day jail sentence for contempt of court, was reviewed this afternoon in a conference at the White House between the president and Attorney General Daugherty. After the conference Daugherty said his opinion on the president's power to issue a pardon to Craig would be rendered after he had consulted with District Attorney Hayward and Judge Mayer in New York. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Resolutions asking congress to inquire into the circumstances surrounding in the sentencing of Comptroller Charles L. Craig of New York league council and assembly elect the judges and to a certain extent exercises supervision over its entire structure—a fact which prevented senate ratification of the project when it was first brot forward. Mr. Coolidge has been in frequent consultation the last few days with some of the court's most bitter foes, and as a result of his conferences it is understood he has decided to recommend American adherence to the court on condition that the power to elect judges be transferred from the league to the court itself, or repose in a separate international commission to be appointed by the participating powers. This would automatically remove most of the objections voiced against the proposal by senate irreconcilables. It is believed, that with these conditions which would largely remove the court from the League's domination, the present pronounced opposition to the court would gradually disappear. In any event, the advisers of Mr. Coolidge believe an acceptable compromise has been found in this manner of procedure—the Republican party, thru President Coolidge, re-affirms its willingness to enter a world court of justice and at the same time the "irreconcilables" are placed by the virtual removal of the court from the league's jurisdiction. 2ND ARREST IN BOOTLEG DEATH Frank R. Gilroy, of Los Angeles, was arrested late Tuesday in connection with the death of Joe Conroy of Huntington Beach from poison liquor. He is charged with manslaughter for his connection in the sale of liquor to Conroy.
