WHITTIER $100,000 BANQUET SUCCESS The John G. Whittier Birthday Banquet, or what Whittier desires to call the $100,000 banquet at the Ambassador Hotel Monday evening was an example of what community co-operation can accomplish, according to Secretary Geo W. Reid of Anaheim C. of C. Dr. Walter Friar Dexter, president of Whittier College, came to Whittier some four months ago, saw the physical need of the college, and at once entered upon a campaign to better that condition. Wordman, Santa Fe Springs oil magnate, gave to Whittier College $100,000 without a stating on it. He believed the college could be made one of importance and was neceded in this section. Dr. Dexter, realizing that the opportunity had come for Whittier to match this splendid giff, suggested that the community raise $100,000 by public subscription. Selecting his men for this undertaking, he succeeded in just three months. Last night was the culmination of this splendid effort; 1280 tickets at $100 each were sold. Of this number sold, 1100 were at the banquet. In telling of the details of the arrangements, Dr. Dexter stated that a contest was put open to all high schools, the contestants to write upon this subject, "Why a college should be organized and supported on the Christian ideas of John Greenleaf Whittler." There were 400 contestants. The first prize was won by a young man from the Pomona high school which gave him $50 in cash and a ticket to the banquet. The second by a Whittier girl who received $30 and a ticket to the banquet. The third by a San Diego girl receiving $20 and a ticket and the fourth by Santa Monica's high school girl aged 13, who received a ticket to the banquet. Dr. Dexter presented the $100,000 gift of the citizens of Whittler to President Chanless of the board of Whittier College. Beach Approves Survey at Newport Lew H. Wallace of Newport Beach yesterday received this telegram from Congressman Phil D. Swing: "General Beach chief war engineers, today approved favorable report board of engineers, and ordered survey Newport harbor, appropriating the necessary money for cost of same." This means that the first step has been taken toward obtaining an appropriation for actual improvement of the harbor. The survey will be made, and if federal aid for improvement appears feasible, a recommendation to that effect will be made. The committee sent by the board of supervisors can do no more at present. WHEN IS LIQUOR 'PURE' OR 'POISON?' A. P. Monohan and Frank A. Gilroy, charged with manslaughter, were expected to enter their pleas at 2 p.m. today in Superior Judge F. C. Drumm's court. The charge against the two defendants relates to the recent death of Joe Conroy, of Huntington Park, which was alleged to have been caused by liquor purchased from Gilroy in Los Angeles, and Monahan at Huntington Beach. The case of Monahan and Gilroy was viewed as presenting the interesting question of "What is poison booze?" Likewise the question: "Is there such a thing as pure liquor?" It was admitted a trial court jury has not yet determined that the liquor was purchased from Gilroy and Monahan, but there appears to be little dispute of the point that there was liquor in the case. And the strange part of the situation is this: A chemical analy- There were 400 contestants. The first prize was won by a young man from the Pomona high school which gave him $50 in cash and a ticket to the banquet. The second by a Whittier girl who received $20 and a ticket to the banquet. The third by a San Diego girl receiving $20 and a ticket and the fourth by Santa Monica's high school girl aged 13, who received a ticket to the banquet. Dr. Dexter presented the $100,000 gift of the citizens of Whittier to President Chanless of the board of Whittier Colleges. The program was of unusual strength. Dr. John Oliver spoke upon the community and the college, emphasizing that while the mind might be well trained for action in life, it never attained its highest capacity unless founded upon the principles of the Great Teacher. Hon. Wm. Gilbos McAdoo who discussed "The National Idealist" in a ten minute speech. One is impressed with the ability of Mr. McAdoo, not only as a lawyer but perhaps to his greater ability as an engineer. A man who, in the fact of the best judgment of a score of men in New York City, when discussing the possibility of tunneling under the river, all claiming that it was an impossibility, said, "It can be done" and he did it. He directed his thought particularly to the building of character, stating that the greatest function of a college was to prepare men and women for high ideals in life. His speech was well received. Perhaps the most enjoyable feature was that rendered by Mme Ernestine Schumann-Heink. To say that this was a treat was to put it mildly. Those who have never heard her sing should avail themselves of the first opportunity. While her hair is somewhat silvered with time, the years have dealt kindly with her. With the same remarkable voice as of yore, she is still charming her audiences from ocean to ocean. Her deep and rich contralto tones cannot be excelled and her mezzo soprano tones are clear and pleasing. While she strands and sings, one thinks not only of the musical and beautiful tones that are being rendered, but looks deeper into the soul of the singer and sees behind her art, the mother who has given her life, not only to her children, but for the benefit of humanity. Several weeks ago this barquet was announced to commercial secretaries of the state, stating that they might come at the price of $100 a plate. For reasons best known to the secretaries, no one The case of Monahan and Gilroy was viewed as presenting the interesting question of "What is poison booze?" Likewise the question: "Is there such a thing as pure liquor?" It was admitted a trial court jury has not yet determined that the liquor was purchased from Gilroy and Monahan, but there appears to be little dispute of the point that there was liquor in the case. And the strange part of the situation is this: A chemical analysis of liquor that came from the same bottles said to have supplied Conroy with his fatal position, showed the stuff to be what is ordinarily termed 'pure' liquor. CRYER SUFFERS RELAPSE TODAY LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18.—Suffering a relapse after reports had indicated his condition was slightly improved, Mayor George E. Cryer was today declared to be sinking rapidly at his home in Ingram street, where he is critically ill from intestinal influenza and pneumonia. The sudden change in the mayor's condition caused great alarm in view of his greatly weakened condition and the fact that the pneumonia attack brought complications previously feared by his physician. The city's chief executive is reported in great pain and unable to rest at any time. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMAS Oh, do not eat, Unless you must, The food exposed To files and dust.

THE RIEFER PRECISION clock at Carnegie School, Cleveland, O., and Proton C Miller, its custodian. There's a virgin field still awaiting the busy reformers who filmed something wrong with everything. This is in the investigation of the Riefer precision clocks, the most precise scientific instruments yet devised by man and excelled once in accuracy by the beam balance. Attention to these clocks was cailed recently by Prof. Dayton C. Miller, professor in the physics department of Case School of Applied Science, and custodian of one of these clocks installed at the school. The clock is operated for two or three months at a time without appropriate variation and without much as one-tenth of a second as cumulated variation for the whole period.

The telegram stated that men were imprisoned for "excessive their constitutional rights to belong to a labor organization" and in view of President Coolidge action in releasing all federal W. W. prisoners, Governor Richardson should pardon the star prisoners. Plain Dealer Classified Ads Always Bring Results Railroads Completely Regulated The Santa Fe says efficient transportation to meet growing need of country is possible under existing Governmental regulation. Farmers and business men asked to exercise their influence in giving Transportation Act a fair trial. The vigor of our national life absolutely depends upon transportation, primarily the railroads. To insure that all important functions of the railroads are discharged in an orderly and dependable manner the Government has undertaken to regulate them in the following particulars: 1. A Government Commission determines freight and passenger rates. 2. A Government Commission determines what is a "fair return" on the value of property used for transportation purposes, but does not guarantee any return. 3. A Government Commission determines the above value of transportation property. 4. A Government Board determines wages and working conditions in case of dispute between railroad employer and employee. 5. A Government Commission determines whether or not a railroad may issue its stock and bonds. 6. A Government Commission has determined how all railroad accounts are to be kept. 7. A Government Commission determines whether or not a railroad line may be built or abandoned, leased, sold or merged with any other line. 8. Any and every form of discrimination is prohibited by law. 9. A Government Commission prescribes safety methods and appliances and makes constant inspection for any failure to observe its requirements. There are duties devolving upon the people to see that the railroads are given fair treatment by the Commission and Boards to whom has been delegated the task of exercising the overwhelming control described above, and that the provisions for such control are not lightly tampered with nor changed until some clear need for change appears. With such treatment assured the railroads can and will grow in capacity and efficiency to meet all the needs of our country, and health and vigor will be assured to our great national industries, such as farming, manufacturing, mining and commerce.
