MEET WILL GO TO CLEVELAND Settle Delegate Question By Giving More To North State Says He is Tired Of Reading About New Tragedies Daily Aroused by the recent traffic fatalities in Orange county, Justice J. B. Cox today renewed his ancient feud with reckless drivers. As a result, six mosquitoes were in the county jail and six more were awaiting their turn, with the same fate probably in store. Sentences of five and ten days, to which were added fines ranging from $50 to $100, were meted out in each case, thus marking the present drive against violators as one of more severity than for even Justice Cox's court. Coming after a period of unusual calm that has prevailed since the advent of the Breed act, Justice Cox's fresh declaration of war threw reckless motorists into surprised consternation today. This was evident in court, defendants paling visibly as they heard sentences pronounced on those ahead of them. "I am tired of reading about some new fatal accident every time I pick up a newspaper," declared Justice Cox. "For two months since the new law went into effect I have let you fellows alone, just to see what you would do. "And what have you done? You have killed somebody just about every day in Orange county lately—you or somebody like you. I am going to stop it or all the jails trying. "And let me tell you, this isn't going to be handled spasmodically like they do it in Los Angeles. I'm going to keep the nozzle right against the bank. What you fellows get today will be handed out to everybody that comes into this court on such charges." And then the court proceeded to transact business as follows: H. E. Junget, 1303 Oak Grove ave., Annandale, for speeding 56 miles an hour—five days in jail and $100 fine. Junget was arrested by Officer Vernon Myers. C. Walton, 1437 West 37th pl., Los Angeles, for speeding 45 miles per hour—five days and a $50 fine. Arrest by Officer Myers. J. P. Mainard, colored, 542 Fifth st., San Diego, for speeding 46 miles per hour—five days and $50 fine. Arrest by Officer Frank Stewart. Mainard pleaded not guilty and received a trial on President Coolidge fume Republican nomination held here today. Representatives of curious Coalalge clubs which have been formed throughout the state, met and formed state organization and made plans for a state-wide camp in behalf of their favored candidate. It was announced that a plan calling for three regional headquarters—San Francisco, Fresno and Lagos—probably would be adopted. HUERTA SAS HE HOLDS MEXICO TAMPICO, Mexico, Dec. 12. Rebel troops under General Guadalupe Sanchez have been defeated with a severe loss by federalists at Docadelmonte, according to information received here this afternoon from Mexico City.

General Lopez, newly appointed governor of the state of Tamalipas, has accepted the resignation of Mayor Juan Lopez, of Tampico. It is established that former Governor Delara, who fled, is on his way to the U.S. border. Military preparations are under way to defend this city should rebels attack by land or sea. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Adolfo De La Huerta, Mexican rebel leader, has telegraphed the Mexican consul in New York City that he has assumed command of the government, and that henceforth the consul would take orders from him, according to a statement issued here today by Manuel Teilez, Mexican charge d'affaires. The consul in New York immediately notified the Mexican embassy here of De La Huerta's action and Teillez this morning sent a circular telegram to each of the 60 Mexican consuls in the United States warning them not Settle Delegate Question By Giving More To Northern States By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 12—The Republican national convention in 1924 will be held in Cleveland during the week beginning June 10. Final decision to this effect was reached today by the Republican national committee in session here. It will be the first time in 50 years that the convention has been held elsewhere than in Chicago. The Ohio city by the lakes got a decision this morning over San Francisco and Des Moines. Chiho had previously withdrawn in the race out of deference to wishes of administration lead-including President Coolidge self, who thought that party insults would be better served all if the convention were taken where next year.

Other defendants cited to appear in court later were: O. W. Harris, Los Angeles, George Oliver, Los Angeles, C. L. Wolfe, Los Angeles, E. King, Los Angeles, W. O. Nokes, Los Angeles—all charged with speeding—and P. L. Callahan, RD 7, Santa Ana, charged with cutting in. In taking up the cudgel once more against the speeders, Justice Cox abandoned his recent stand against the speed trap and welcomed it in his avowed campaign of making the county highways safe. The speed trap figured in all cases of speeding handled today. LIMPS INTO PORT SEATTLE, Dec. 12.

ANAHEIM OUT OF TRIPLE A LEAGUE Withdrawal Follows Hot Session of Managers TAX CUT MAY BE DELAYED BY HOUSE By A. O. HAYWARD (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The definite promise that the American people will be paying lower income taxes by 1925 at least, was made today by Representative Green, Republican of Iowa, chairman of the powerful ways and means committee of the house, which will have charge of all tax reduction measures. "I expect to call the full committee together next Monday to take up revision of revenue laws," said Green, "and thereafter to proceed with the work of revision as rapidly as is consistent with accuracy and thorou consideration." At the same time, Green served notice that the committee "is going to frame its own bill" and not simply accept the bill which has been written and is ready for submission by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. "The ways and means committee is now and has always been." Green said, "desarous of reducing taxes to the lowest point consistent with proper government. The committee will draft its own bill." Green, Hawley, of Ore., and Treadway of Mass., formed a committee which called upon senators. OF TRIPLE A LEAGUE Withdrawal Follows Hot Session of Managers Over McDowell Anaheim Merchants baseball team has withdrawn from the Triple-A league, Manager Vic Ruedy announced today following a stormy session of the league managers in Los Angeles. It was this way. Promoters of the Anaheim club, at the opening of the season, circulated subscription papers on the promise that McDowell, crack third baseman, would be in the local lineup. Then, because of a misunderstanding, McDowell started the season with Sawtelle. When local fans insisted that McDowell play here, the Sawtelle management declined to release him and was backed up in this stand by a majority of the other league managers. There was nothing for Manager Ruedy to do but withdraw. The withdrawal took considerable of the wind from the belligerents now running the league, particularly when they learned they didn't have $110 forfeit money from Anaheim as they thought they had. The next morning after the check had been mailed in, Manager Ruedy received a letter from the Sawtelle manager refusing to release McDowell. Ruedy immediately notified the bank to hold up the check. Withdrawal from the league may prove a blessing in more ways than one for the locals. Manager Ruedy believes he will be able to serve up better independent, baseball than before. Among the independent teams available are the fastest in So. Calif., including White King Soap, L. A. White Sox (Colored). Pirone's All-Stars, Irvine, Riverside, Buick Autos, Barry's Classy Hats, Dick Cox's Pasadena Eagles, Hollywood Merchants and San Diego All-Stars. Next Sunday Ruedy will bring the following talent from the Universal Film Studio: Billy Hamilton, shortstop, Dallas, Texas league; Lyman Smith, centerfield, Wichita, Kan., Western league; Chick Hawks, first base, St. Paul, American Ass'n., formerly of Vernon; Ronold Williams, rightfield, Memphis, Southern league; Art Griggs, second baseman, Los Angeles, Pacific Coast league; Frank Haley, Fortune Election of officers took up most of today's weekly luncheon gathering of the Anaheim realty The same time, Green served notice that the committee "is going to frame its own bill" and not simply accept the bill which has been written and is ready for submission by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. "The ways and means committee is now and has always been," Green said, "desirous of reducing taxes to the lowest point consistent with proper government. The committee will draft its own bill." Green, Hawley, of Ore., and Treadway of Mass., formed a committee which called upon Secretary Mellon today to discuss measures of co-operation between the treasury and congress in the matter of tax reductions. The revision board of the treasury, in five months work, has re-written the present law and embodied in the draft the recommendations of the so-called Mellon program. This will be studied by the committee in framing its own bill, but how far the committee is prepared to go in following out its provisions, none of the members were prepared to say today. QUARTERLY RALLY The quarterly rally of Orange county Boy Scouts will be held in Santa Ana Dec. 21, it was announced today by Roland E. Dye, county Scout executive. Dye said that a feature of the rally would be the presentation of Eagle badges to several Scouts who have earned that coveted honor. There is a prospect of a hike to Saddle Back during the vacation between Xmas and New Year's day. Dye declared. STROUP IN UPSET Mrs. J. E. Stroup has received word that Mr. Stroup is able to be at his shop in Birmingham, Mich., again after injuries sustained in an auto accident.

A. Pinkerton, 77, internationally known detective and head of the agency that bears his name, will be taken to the family home in Chicago today. Interment will be at Grace-land cemetery, where his wife was buried 30 years ago. TURNS OVER SUM FROM 1922 FUND E. A. Beard, local manager for the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., who was treasurer of the community funds last year, has turned over $51.50 to the secretary-treasurer of the Paperettes club, who is managing arrangements for the community Xmas tree this year. This amount was left over from last year's tree, after all bills were paid. DEPOT BLOWN UP SEATTLE, Dec. 12.—The Great Northern railroad station at Richmond Beach, north of here, was wrecked by a mysterious explosion shortly before midnight. The interior of the office was wrecked and great holes were blown thru the sides and roof of the building. The safe containing the company's funds was found intact. Railroad detectives and sheriff's deputies were working on the case, and believe that the explosives intended for use on the safe by veggmen, went off prematurely. Election of officers took up most of today's weekly luncheon gathering of the Anaheim realty board at the Cherry Blossom. The luncheon was one of the best-attended held so far, with 29 realtors present. B. H. Sidnam was elected president, Jake Schumacher first vice-president, Romaine C. Berger second vice-president, J. L. Swart-hout secretary and W. C. Carl treasurer. Balloting for the various offices was spirited in most cases, and nominations were numerous. Sidnam was opposed for president by W. B. Allen and Schumacher. Schumacher was the only nominee for first vice-president, and was elected by acclamation. For second vice-president Walter Ross opposed Romaine Berger and the two ran almost neck and neck. Secretary Idlor repeatedly declined renomination. The nomination or mention of their names was also turned down by six or eight others, who were put forward. Cark was the only nominee for treasurer, and also was elected by rising vote. The office of secretary is regarded as particularly important during the coming year with the operation of the multiple listing system. The application of Miss Gertrude Pfaff for the position of office assistant or assistant to the secretary was filed. Miss Pfaff is the second young woman who has applied. The new officers will take office Jan. 3, it was voted. The board voted to accept L. 600 copies of blanks offered by the Farm Mortgage Bankers' Association, to be used in the interest of the proposed amendment to the federal constitution, which seeks to end the tax exemption privilege enjoyed by most bond issues. The association in its letter declared that realtors as well as mortgage bankers would benefit by the change. Jan. 17, instead of Dec. 20, was set for the annual banquet to continue on Page 2.

The purchase price was $22,000. The former owner has agreed to remove the two houses now on the property, and the present orange crop goes with the land. The site is on the south side of East Center just east of East street and adjoining the Myers ranch. The necessary papers were being signed this afternoon at a gathering of the board. The land acquired was the only piece seriously considered in view of the price which the board felt it could pay, altho four sites had been looked at. A bond issue will be used to obtain the funds for building and site. TWO SERIOUSLY HURT IN CRASH F. R. LaGourgue of Liberty Lane and his daughter, Miss Alta, were seriously injured about 7:15 this morning when their Maxwell touring car collided with an Essex, driven by Geo. C. Pickering at Sycamore and East sts. The father is at his home in Liberty Lane with what may prove internal injuries, and Miss LaGourgue at the Anaheim sanitarium with a badly wrenched back. Both suffered bruises and cuts, also. The Maxwell appears to be a wreck. Pickering is practically unhurt. He is a rancher and contractor.

Reid declared that what they said might be true, if freight to be switched from one road to another had to go first to Los Angeles, but this was not the plan in mind. The interchange was to fake place here. Presumably communication will be had also with the Southern Pacific, but when is still uncertain, Reid said. The two representatives were G. E. Harrison, assistant industrial chief of the Santa Fe system, and Charles A. Walker, Anaheim agent. Walker denied ToReid reports that fruit had been delayed 12 hours in Anaheim by the Santa Fe or lumber 24 hours. He said fruit was never held over three hours nor lumber more than 12. The committee, headed by John Ruether as chairman, still is awaiting more information, said Reid. OLD WOMAN BURNS SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.—Mrs. Mary Lang, 85, burned to death, her son, Wm.

William Lang was dragged out of the burning structure by his brother George, after he had fallen unconscious. Golden Bros.
