And one of the most interesting episodes in this bathroom scene shows a Scottish dance, the music for which was furnished by a number of Scotchmen playing upon the Scotch national music instrument—the harppipe. According to Director Henry Alexander MacRae, who worked the megaphone for this production, this orchestra—if so it may be called—was entirely composed of veterans of the world war, men who had, without exception, distinguished themselves to such an extent that each and every one of them was decorated with a Croix de Guerre or some other hard-crowned milestone. CONTINUE TOURNEY Doubles in the tennis tournament at Fullerton, to have been played off yesterday, were not finished. Semi-finals are to be played off today between Lincoln and Alhambra at Alhambra. The victors are to play Glendale Saturday or Sunday. tary decoration. Watch for these heroes when you see "God's Crucible"; they are just one interesting feature of a highly interesting production. "God's Crucible" will be shown tonight at the United theater. It is the screen version of Ralph Connor's famous novel, "The Forigners," and boasting as strong a cast as has ever been assembled for a single production. Gaston Glass plays the central role—that of "Ivan Kalmar"—while the balance of the cast includes Wilton Lackaye, Kate Price, and many other players on almost equal prominence.

ANAHEIM WINS 2 FROM FULLERTON Several games fell to Anaheim Casaba tossers yesterday when they played Fullerton, Coach Sutherland's crack 189 powders are still pulling in the victories. Tustin is having the same luck and the local coach fears this team most. The Anaheim lads have not had the stiff competition they need, such as teams from Long Beach and Lincoln high. If the boys don't get stronger opposition, they may become over confident. The entire quintet played an exceptionally fine game yesterday and no one deserves more credit than the other. This division will have a league game here tomorrow with Huntington Beach. The usual lineup: Swarthout and Schwienfest, forwards; Dargatz center; Sweeney and Mann, guards Howell subbed for Swarthout. The varsity lost 20 to 3 to Fullerton. The boys are making a big improvement in their playing but there is still room for improvement. Wells and Bastian, two of the best forwards, were unable to play. Coach Fitzmorris put in a new combination, Clapp and Lusk, forwards, Walker, center; Reebe and Dahlman, guards. Henning subbed for Walker and Beatie for Dahlman. The majority of these lads are junior. The coach is building for the future. Wells is a forward and Bastian, guard, so without there two, the team played to a disadvantage. The string will display its wares at Huntington Beach Friday in a league battle. The light weight division won 12 to 4 yesterday from Fullerton. The midgets are coming fast and should be on top when the season ends. They played a steady game and won their points through quick passing. The players: Woods and Grafton, forwards, Giss, center; Mitchell and Utter, guards. Subs: Dehon, Fitzgibbons, Alsp and Utter, guards. Subs: Carpentier and Stribling are both after the crown. It does not pear for questioning and voted to send three medical experts chosen by Senators Walsh and Smoot to his bedside to make an additional examination. 2—E. L. Doheny, who leased Elk Hills reserve from Fall shortly after loaning him $100,000, made an unsuccessful effort to appear before the committee to testify. The committee instructed him to come back Friday. 3—The naval affairs committee of the house launched an independent investigation to ascertain what benefit the navy derived out of the leases—Secretary Donby having defended them as beneficial to the navy. 4—Admiral L. E. Gregory, of the navy, testified before the house committee that Secretary of the Navy Denby and not subordinate, directed the making of construction contracts with the Doheny and Sinclair interests whereby they built storage tanks and harbor improvements for the navy in exchange for royalty oil. The senate debate, however, hold the center of the stage. Norris not only charged that Delegated Work Without a Standing under the law but he declared it was an executive usurpation of authority that would abolish the legislative branch of the government and "wreck any government." "No lawyer can defend or uphold that (Harding) order issued in defiance of an express act of congress," Norris said. He declared the Doheny contract was an expenditure of public funds in the form of oil for the erection of public works. He said the power of appropriating government funds rests solely with congress and that the Doheny contract was therefore illegal. "It is not claimed by anyone that congress passed a law appropriating this oil to be spent for building storage tanks, erecting docks or dredging of channels," read Norris.

Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 30—Another Landis to lead the innocents of boxing into the promised land of prosperity and rectitude, would be welcome as payday with Tox Rickard, according to a statement made by that worthy gentleman today. Among other things, Rickard declared himself to be figuratively arm in arm with Senator Jimmy Walker’s proposition for a supreme head of all boxing in this country but disagreeing with the senator’s statement that the game is “snugging on its last legs.” “I fail to see where boxing is in a bad way,” Rickard declared. There’s nothing the matter with the game and everyone should know it. When has boxing been more prosperous and more carefully conducted? I, for one, think there hasn’t been entirety too much hysteria about the need for reforms. However, the promoter did not hesitate to say that this statement was not to be confounded with apposition to the Walker project. On the contrary, he declared it to be the most logical move that might be made. “When baseball elected a high commissioner, it was very much in need of a man who could restore confidence in, and reflect it upon the sport,” he said. “It therefore, went out after Judge Landis and got him. Since then, there hasn’t been the faintest breath of suspicion against baseball and rightly so. If Landis never did anything else, he earned his salary by re-establishing the confidence of the public.” “Besides he has done more than that. He has shown in every way that he conducted the game in absolute fairness and impartiality and that he is for honesty of purity.” Los Angeles put over one of the biggest baseball deals of the season when she traded George Lyons and Tony Rego for five St. Louis players. Most of the players are youngsters with promise of a future. Billings is an old player, who will not see many more active years. Of the two players going up, Rego has the better chance of sticking. Lyons is unbeatable sometimes, but these times are not close enough together. He has the habit of having one bad innning each game. He has been up to the big show once, and there is not much hope of his improving with his advancement. Los Angeles kept Rego on the bench when he should have been doing his stuff behind the pillow. Tony is small for a catcher, but is very rugged, and is able to stand the work. He is the most peppery catcher on the coast. It looks as if Marty King put over a good deal. Gene Sarazen, the American golf king, won over the English champ through two days of English weather. The heavens wept throughout the first day’s play at San Francisco, and when the play was resumed at Hill Crest, Los Angeles, the heaven spilled more. Sarazan led all the way. Havers, the English champion, played a wonderful game, but the little Italian, who holds the American honors, played just a little more wonderfully. The speed kings of the dirt tracks were forced to give up Sunday’s card after getting all warmed up and having a big crowd on hand to witness the thrills. The new Ascot speedway is drawing the speed fans in great numbers. The old gang that used to haunt the old Ascot track is still paying court. Many are interested in seeing DePalma come back. He was bested in the first day’s racing by Fred Horey and is anxious to get back his lost laurels. BURLED BY CAVE-IN GLENDALE, Jan. 20—Charles Finley was killed and W. H. Merzon of Montrose was injured to negro caught Georges Carpontier sleep and with one mighty swat displaced the crown from the Frenchman’s brow. The negro was not a champion and never will be; he just slipped one over on the over-confident war veteran. McTigue took the crown away from the num-soaked black in a very sluggish fight with a howling Irish mob to cheer him on. If he had been a great fighter he would have put the French darkey away for keeps under that setting. Carpentier and Stribling are both after the crown. It does not take much of a wizard to predict that one or the other will be wearing it when the fracas is over. Declarated the Doheny contract was an expenditure of public funds in the form of oil for the erection of public works. He said the power of appropriating government funds rests solely with congress and that the Doheny contract was therefore illegal. “It is not claimed by anyone that congress passed a law appropriating this oil to be spent for building storage tanks, erecting of docks or dredging of channels,” read Norris. “If any such conduct on the part of the executive officials is continued it will bring ruin to any democracy or republic. It would abolish the legislative branch of the government and set forth a monarchy event to the term of office would be only a few years. If this act is passed unchallenged, you set a precedent which would permit a future despot, if he obtained the power, to set aside and nullify every act of congress.” Norris declared the Doheny interests knew “that every step was made without warrant of law.” “Every particle of property or land taken from the government must be paid for,” he shouted. “They knew this too when they entered the contract.” VOTE $100,000 FOR SPECIAL COUNSEL WASHINGTON, Jan. 30—The Senate appropriations committee today voted unanimously to withdraw from President Coolidge with $100,000 appropriation passed by the House for the employment of special counsel to investigate naval oil leases unless the President submits his appointments to the Senate for confirmation. The House bill, which turned fund over to the President without strings, was amended to provide that any counsel employed by the President under the authority of this resolution “shall be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” Its passage in this form by the Senate is assured. Edward L. Doheny, millionaire producer, who received the lease to Elk Mill reserve in California several months after he had loaned Fall $100,000, put in an unexpected appearance in the committee room today. He was accompanied by Gavin McNab, his attorney, and declared he wanted to be heard. The committee was in executive session at that time hearing Fall’s physicians and Doheny waited in an ante room. MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 20—Teaot Dome business does not worry me in least or else I would have retained in Washington, Attorney General H. M. Daugherty told International News Service today. The attorney general is seconded. EASTERN CRU PITTSBURGH, Jan. advance of from 150 BURIED BY CAVE-IN GLENDALE, Jan. 20.—Charles Finley was killed and W.H. Mershon of Montrose was injured today when they were buried beneath 30 tons of earth in the gravel pits of Gordon & Harris. The men were loading trucks when, without warning, a huge wall of earth gave way and fell on them. Finley received the full force of the cave-in. TEST RAIL UNIONS PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20.—An under cover attempt of the more powerful railroads to determine the strength of the railroad brotherhoods was seen in railroad circles here today in reports that the Monongahela railroad, owned jointly by the Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, but operated ostensibly as a separate road, was planning arbitrary waste reduction and changes in working conditions. SUSPENDED SENTENCE A.W. Cleaver, charged with operating a car after his license had been revoked by Judge French and who had previously stoutly opposed the change, appeared before the judge this morning and changed his plea to guilty. He was given a sentence of 30 days in jail. The sentence was suspended, pending good behavior. It is said that the state motor vehicle department suspended his license for a year. The old saying about a "champagne appetite and a beer income" has been revised along with many other recent remarks. It now reads: "A Scotch appetite and a wood alcohol income," and is a much deadlier saying in every respect.—Fresno Bee.
