TRIO ENJOYS TRIP THRU EUROPE Altho they are delighted to again be at home in Anaheim today. Miss Sophie Rimpau and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Alexander, Jr., are enthusiastic in praise of their trip abroad. They left Anaheim last Sept. 26. The ocean voyage both ways was made on the English passenger boat, the "Berengeria," one of the largest steamers afloat, a 52,000-tonner. The greater portion of the tour was thru England, France, Switzerland and Italy. The weather was always ideal, no cold, and everywhere the people and the countries were prosperous and happy. No trace of the late war was apparent. As the travelers had been advised to keep out of Germany, they did so. Italy's scenery and climate is described as much like California's. Among the important historic sights in Rome visited by the trio were the vatican, the Sistine chapel, St. Peter's of Rome, the pagan temple, built more than 2000 years ago, and is yet in a fine state of preservation; the tomb of St. Peter, the catacombs. The ruins of Pompeii, where excavations begun more than a century ago and are still in progress, claimed much of their interest. Switzerland was much favored by the Anheimers for its prosperity and scenic charm. Lake Lucerne and the Alps claimed their highest admiration. Paris, with her galaxy, Monte Carlo with its gaming balls, Vienna, Florence, and other semi-tropical cities of fascination and hospitality were included in the itinerary.

"The chaos in the working class movement must be ended. This is the task of the communists, a task they are performing with great effect."

"The conflict in Cuba, which also end with an intervention, the continued military occupation of Haiti and Santo Domingo, the muzzling of Nicaragua, Panama and Colombia—and the rising revolt in the Philippines, indicate that American imperialism intends to conquer the western hemisphere and force the colonies under complete control," the Russians charged.

Justice Cox collected $42,140.50 in fines and fees last year—another new record. For once, it was shown, traffic cases failed to provide the major portion of receipts.

Fees collected from civil cases totaled $797. ishing the speed trap, Justice Cox had little to do with speeders. The other reason was the sheriff's office aggressive campaign which resulted in many liquor cases being brought before the court. The sharp severity with which these cases were handled by Justice Cox also contributed to the large total of fines collected. There were 95 liquor cases in 1923, yielding a total of $16,003 in fines. In addition, $885 was collected in fines from eight cases of gambling. "Yes, I was busy all right, but the figures don't show the half of it." That was shown today by figures obtained from his court, one of the largest sources of revenue of Orange county. Justice Cox collected $42,140.50 in fines and fees last year—another new record. For once, it was shown, traffic cases failed to provide the major portion of receipts. Last year the traffic fines were almost balanced by fines from other criminal cases. Traffic fines amounted to $20,837, while other criminal fines yielded $20,506.50. Fees collected from civil cases totaled $797. This balance between automobile fines and other criminal fines was ascribed to two reasons: One was that for two months after the Breed act became effective, abolished. DISASTROUS FLOOD FACES PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH, Jan. 4. — Prospects of the most disastrous flood in history faced Pittsburgh today, when the water of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers, rising steadily in the last 24 hours, inundated streets in the downtown section. Entire sections of the north side and Manchester districts were under water, and employees in buildings near the river were working frantically removing merchandise to upper floors. Hundreds of homes were entirely surrounded by water up to the first floor. Property damage will run into thousands of dollars. POSTAL RECEIPTS ADVANCE 13 PCT. Receipts of the Anaheim post-office, not including monies received from sales of money orders, amounted in round dollars to $46,700 in the calendar year 1923 against $41,114 in 1922. Postmaster J. H. Whitaker said today. This is a gain of a little over 13 per cent. The final quarter of the last year showed receipts of $16,141, compared with $13,446 in the last quarter of 1922. December contributed most to this gain, collections amounting to $7746. November receipts were $4150 and October's $4244. FAMOUS AUTHOR'S STEP-SON IS DEAD COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. 4. — The body of Everett Jackson, 12, stepson of the late Helen Dunt Jackson, famous author and poet, was found shortly before noon today in south Cheyenne anyon, west of this city, by a nose that had been searching for the missing man. Indications were that Jackson, wandering partially deranged, fell over a 75-foot cliff and met a fatal death. The spot where the other reason was the sheriff's office aggressive campaign which resulted in many liquor cases being brought before the court. The sharp severity with which these cases were handled by Justice Cox also contributed to the large total of fines collected. There were 95 liquor cases in 1923, yielding a total of $16,003 in fines. In addition, $885 was collected in fines from eight cases of gambling. "Yes, I was busy all right, but the figures don't show the half of it," Justice Cox commented. "There is a great deal to do here besides telling a defendant how much of a fine he must pay or how long he must stay in jail. That's only a small part of it." U.S. SELLING RIFLES TO OBREGON WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. — The United States has agreed to sell President Obregon 5000 rifles, 5,000,000 rounds of ammunition and eight airplanes to aid him in putting down the De La Huerta revolution in Mexico. Secretary of War Weeks announced this afternoon. The exact amount which the Mexican government will pay for the arms was not announced, but half the total will be paid in cash and the remainder in 30 days under the terms of an agreement between the war department and Manuel C. Tellez, the Mexican charge d'affaires. MEXICAN STEAMER TAKES ARMS SOUTH SAN DIEGO, Jan. 4. — The steamer Mexico, belonging to the Mexican government, was today en route to Ensenada, Lower California, and other west coast ports with munitions of war which were transferred from the Mexican gunboats Mayo and Yaquil in the harbor here yesterday. The Mayo is at present undergoing repairs at the Marine Construction Co.'s wharf here. Two 3-inch French rapid fire guns, three machine guns, several hundred rifles and 5000 rounds of small arms ammunition were loaded on the Mexican steamer. COUNTY JAIL LAST YEAR War on Crime Not Only Very Effective But Profitable The war on crime in Orange county during 1923 was not only particularly effective, but also profitable, according to the books of Sheriff Sam Jernigan, which had been balanced today. Not only were there 2018 criminals, great and small, confined in the county jail during the year, nearly 500 more than in many thousands of dollars into the public coffers. The whiskey trade, for instance, was shown to have disgorged $16,003 of its profits in the form of fines that were collected in just one court. What the total collected from all the various justice courts and the superior court might be was not known, but must have mounted to a high figure, it was said. The county jail, clearing house for moneys handled by the sheriff's office, in connection with crime cases, reported that $28,584 passed through its hands during 1923. This sum included fines and ball money. County Jailor O. Moncrief stated. Sheriff Jernigan and his deputies were making it especially warm for the liquor traffic last year; it was shown. Not only were the booze profits depleted to the extent mentioned in actual cash but stock captured by the eagle-eyed officers cost the liquor industry many thousands more. It was recalled that on one occasion during the year, Sheriff Jernigan emptied about 1400 gallons of captured liquor into the sewer. On another occasion an $8500 cargo of bonded whiskey was taken from rum-runners near Seal Beach and turned over to federal authorities. Other losses were contained in captured stills and other manufacturing equipment. Confiscated autos added another large item to the red side of the booze ledger. The money collected from the booze cases was clear profit. This interesting announcement was made by Sheriff Jernigan, who stated that not a cent had been expended in detective hire to "get evidence." All of the work he said, was done by his own staff. "In that connection," said Jernigan, "I want to say that our success has been due to splendid co-operation from municipal and other local authorities throughout..." FAMOUS AUTHOR'S STEP-SON IS DEAD COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan. 4.

Mexico City, Jan. 4.—General Figueroa's army in the state of Guerrero has been completely routed, War Minister Serrano announced today. The war minister forecast that the impending battle near Guadalajara will prove the decisive conflict of the revolution. "The principal forces on both sides have been concentrated in that region," said Serrano. "General Enrique Estrada, the rebel commander, will oppose the government forces with approximately 6000 well-trained troops." "The rebels around Guadalajara constitute a formidable force. Once they are annihilated the revolution will be over." Serrano showed the utmost confidence in the ability of the Obregon government to put down the revolution at an early date. The first contingents of a column of troops that will maintain order in the Tampico oil fields have started for the port of Tampaico.
