Until necessity forced her to open her lips, the girl remained silent, and even now, the authorities declared today, the mother, now critically ill, has not been informed of the alleged attack, which was said to have occurred some weeks ago. On a warrant issued at the instance of the girl's father, O'Dowd was taken into custody and arraigned yesterday before Justice J. B. Cox, who fixed bail and set the preliminary hearing for Feb. 29, at 10 a.m. O'Dowd, it was said by the authorities, has indicated that he may waive preliminary examination and allow the case to be carried at once to the superior court.

Whether these municipal solons will decide on working a project in the San Bernardino mountains, or coin other So Cal. cities in seeking a water supply with the completion of the Boulder dam project, could only be conjectured. Regarded as one of the most important joint sessions ever held, as a water supply was held invaluable, if not essential, if these four Orange-co cities are to progress in an industrial way, some definite steps are likely to be taken. Committees likely will be appointed to makeborough investigation into the various possibilities of future water, with a report deemed likely within two months. Also to come before the joint meeting is the ever project. Contractors working on the ocean outlet have expended $44,000 more than they had expected and they are seeking compensation from the cities. Delay in completion of the joint project has resulted in the laying of pipe into the ocean, requiring the services of divers. Of necessity the work has been slow. HARD WORK TO GET VOTER REGISTERED The duty to register for the coming elections seems not to be fully appreciated, judging from some deputies who report requests to come again for various amusing reasons, one being that dinner was ready, but the deputy not invited to dine. Mr. Varnum, 128 E. Center st., expects a very light vote at election if the indication of a registration of only 25 per cent during the first month of registration holds good. If deputies could register a house complete at one call it would be soon done, but it is seldom that all the voters will be found in less than three to five calls. This means that many voters will have to take some trouble themselves to call at an office for registration, as deputies cannot be expected to make scattering of California's own beloved playwright, historian and foothill philosopher, John Stéven McGroarty, is entering its fourth week of its 13th year at San Gabriel. Apd as it is nearing its 2500th performance, it is getting better and better. No play in the world holds a record run of such length as this great California pageant drama has enjoyed in its own playhouse on the king's highway—or is any other play in America so firmly established as a dramatic institution destined to endure for all time—for that is the author's vision through his conception of the Golden Scroll. At every performance there are record audiences, and better still, thoroughly enthusiastic ones. Many Mission Play lovers—and their name is legion—have seen the Mission Play as many as 30 and 40 times true-blue Californians, who would call a year lost if they did not take in the Mission Play several times a season and bring their relatives and friends who have come to the sunny southland for a visit. For to see anything else first would be seeing California backwards. The Mission Play in beauteous pageantry and colorful drama tells the story of the beginning of California. How, through the indomitable courage of the Franciscan padres, led by the venerable Serra, they saved California for civilization instead of allowing this golden state to perhaps later have been seized by an oriental invasion. The stellar role of Serra is this year portrayed by R. D. MacLean, a distinguished Shakespearian actor, who interprets the role with the power and artistry it deserves.

Cannon, admitted in court here today. Jackson, Cannon said, took no part in any efforts to deliver the series to the Cincinnati Reds so that gamblers might cash their bets. Cannon’s statement was made just before Jackson was called as first witness in his suit to force president Charles A. Comiskey of DEMAND DAUGHERTY QUIT CABINET POST (Continued from Page One) against Denby and Daugherty that President Coolidge announced a hurried conference with senate leaders last night to outline plans to block, if possible, impeachment proceedings. Attending the White House meeting were Senators Lenroot, Republican of Wisconsin, chairman of the senate committee investigating the oil leases, Hale, Republican of Maine; Curley, Republican of Kansas; Lodge, Republican of Mass., and Pepper, Republican of Pennsylvania. The meeting was surrounded with utmost secrecy, every precaution being taken to prevent a leak as to the policy determined upon. It was indicated however, that President Coolidge instructed the leaders to wield the “big stick” in aiming up Republican senators against the impeachment moves. President Coolidge was said to feel that resignations of Denby and Daugherty at this time would be premature; that they should not leave the cabinet at least until the investigations by counsels appointed by the president are concluded. To permit the resignations now, the White House held, amount to an unjustified repudiation of Denby and Daugherty, especially as the special counsel will be called upon to determine in court whether they have been guilty of any wrong doing in connection with the leasing of naval reserves. The senate leaders spoke unreservedly to the president. They told him that chances for passing the resolutions were favorable; that an agreement had been reached between insurgent republicans and democrats to demand removal of Denby and Daugherty, both of whom have been denounced savagely in speeches in the Senate. Only a break in the insurgent or Democratic ranks, they pointed out, can prevent the adoption of the ouster measures. Proof that the La Follette group sup- TRY TO REFUTE DAMAGE CLAIMS With the plaintiffs’ case rested, attorneys for the county were today offering their defense in Superior Judge P. C. Drummm’s court to the $25,000 flood damage suits instituted by Thomas Page and Joseph Stupp. Richfield ranchers. In the mass of testimony that citrus trees on the Page and Stupp ranches have been killed by excessive moisture, was included evidence from the testimony of one witness that sprint waters standing upon the ranches contributed to the damage. This witnesses testified that he had observed storm water backed up on the ranches by a county road grade, which blocked drainage. The plaintiffs allege that the damage resulted from a change in grade of this road, extending between Plainland and Richfield. Stupp asks $5,000 damages and Page reckens $20,000. District Attorney A. P. Nelson and Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wetlin were launched into their rack of arguing the contentions of the plaintiffs. They announced that they would seek to prove that damage to the two ranches, which are situated in lowlands, entirely surrounded by higher ground, was a natural result of raised water levels caused by sub-irrigation from the high ground. They will also show, they said, that the road itself has settled because of this sub-irrigation, until at one point it is actually lower than before the raise was made several years ago. That the ground in the vicinity was water-logged even before the grade was raised, as revealed to the workmen employed in raising the grade, is another contention which the defense will seek to establish. It was said. 4 BOY BANDITS By ROLAND M. (I. N. S. Staff Correction) CHICAGO, Jan. 29. Carl D.

They told him that chances for passing the resolutions were favorable; that an agreement had been reached between insurgent republicans and democrats to demand removal of Denby and Daugherty, both of whom have been denounced vagely in speeches in the Senate. Only a break in the insurgent or Democratic ranks, they pointed out, can prevent the adoption of the ouster measures. Proof that the La Follette group supported by the Democrat held the balance of power in the senate and can dictate legislation was shown in the fight over the chairmanship of the interstate commerce committee, which resulted in election of a Democrat. Senator Smith of South Carolina, the president was told. The public lands committee held only a short session today and decided not to go to Fall’s bedside to question him. Fall’s four physicians however were summoned to appear before the committee in executive session tomorrow and tell what is wrong with him. They said today that their patient was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The committee also excused Tom Johnson, foreman of Fall’s New Mexico ranch. Unquestionably the Coolidge administration faced a crisis today. The president and the cabinet were under a heavy fire and Senator Walsh, Dem. of Montana, leader of the Teapot Dome probe involved the whole cabinet in the naval reserve scandal by charging that the question of leasing the oil lands had been discussed frequently in the semi-weekly sessions of the president’s advisors. The principle involved in her leasing was not attacked by any cabinet member, including President Coolidge, who was vice president, sat in cabinet meetings, in the charges. At the cabinet meeting today the Teapot Dome question was prominent. The cabinet was presented with a modified Walsh resolution alleging President Coolidge to employ counsel to institute proceedings to recover the Doheny and Sinclair leases, the public lands committee met to examine additional witnesses. Ex secretary of the interior Albert B. Fall, the central figure in the oil scandal, was excused when his attorneys submitted a medical certificate declaring it would be detrimental to Fall’s health for film to leave his residence in his present condition.” He is staying at the home of Colonel Zevely, Sinclair’s attorney, who handled the loan of $25,000 in liberty bonds which the oil man made to Fall. It was suggested that the con- 4 BOY BANDITS ROB L. A. BANK LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29.

One of the bandits remained in the unto white three companions entered the bank and took the money. Hollywood police hurried to the scene but found no trace of the bandits who were said to be between 15 and 20 years old. BELIEVE “BADGE” BANDIT HEAD DEAD SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29. James Soto, 22, believed by police to have been the mysterious “badge” bandit leader of a gang of “hijackers,” was shot and killed and four members of his band captured early today when they were surrounded in a house after an alleged night of crime. Soto was shot as he attempted to escape from a rear window in a gun battle with officers. The four captured gave their names as James Thornton, George Douglies, William Barney and Eugene McDermott. Police were about to launch an attack on the house with tear bombs when the four, minus their leader, surrendered. Pollee were directed to the house by Thomas Magnon who reported he had been robbed and then trailed the hands to their rendezvous. president and which he inherited intact, was involved in the naval reserve mens. Another sensation was sprung by Lenroot when he stated flatly that the late President Harding was without legal authority in issuing the executive order transferring control of the reserves from the navy to the interior department. “The time has come when politics should be dropped from the case. When we come to the point of rectifying any wrong, if wrong there be I say politics should cease. That we should act together as patriotic Americans in an effort to secure justice for the American people.” NEED ONE MORE LETTER CARRIER All mail delivery routes have had to be re-routed, following the addition of two routes, and even all are so crowded that one more letter carrier is an imperative necessity. Postmaster J. H. Whitaker declared today. Whitaker, who has had the fires working for some months to obtain a third extra carrier, is being aided, he averred, by Inpector F. E. Jaryis, who is officially assigned to this territory. One more carrier would mean better service all around, of course. The postmaster hopes that the public will be patient if the service is not all it should be. Effective at once, the money order window opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. The two new routes laid out recently are being operated very well and most of the residents included in them have obtained their boxes.

Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Rev. Dr Carl D. Case returned to the witness stand and answered the charges of Mrs. Charlotte Leland that he was a lover of such volcanic intensity that he swept her into sin, with testimony calculated to show he was a man of glacial coolness, restraint and apathy, in women's presence. The clergyman, named by Albert Leland in his divorce suit as the other man, testified that in all his years in the ministry he never had felt any temptation when emotional women came to him for sympathy or advice. "Conditions are not ideal for feeling emotional about such women," he said. One alienist already has testified that, while Mrs. Leland has not the delusions or insanity Dr. Case charges, she is "intensely emotional." Smartling under the testimony of Mrs. Leland, of the tempestuous way in which he made love, Dr. Case offered his version of her alleged methods of pressing an amour. Her testimony was flattering in a shade in that it pictures him as a man of tremendous personality and a charm almost magic. He described her as cringing, worshipful, loving more deeply and more ardently under rebuffs. Dr. Case said Mrs. Leland kissed his hand. That disgusted him; he added, because he thot it too much of a "movie stunt". "Her letters were unnecessary, useless—somewhat of a nuisance," the clergyman testified. "I threw most of her letters into the waste basket." Then he added: "I have never been tempted by any woman who came in regard to church work." It was a different Dr. Case who took the stand today.
