TWO CHICKEN THIEVES ARE WOUNDED Burglar Alarm Defeat Pair of Mexicans at Eckert Ranch C. W. Eckert, chicken grow OF CITY" Asserts Water and Sewer Systems Will Have To Be Rebuilt Rev. Will H. Betts, pastor of the First Methodist church of Santa Ana, in his sermon last night called on public health officials of Santa Ana to resign "for the good of the city," as an aftermath of the recent epidemic caused by contamination of the water supply in which 3000 were said to have been made sick, a number fatally. A week ago Sunday the minister started the county-seat when he tackled the water situation with gloves. He "drew fire," being met with the demand that he produce proof of his charges. Last night he asserted it was not his duty to produce proof. He said, however, he had been informed that Dr. Chas. E. Halladay, one of the state board of health representatives sent to Santa Ana, had urged early in the epidemic that citizens be warned but that Halladay had been prevailed upon to withhold it for fear of creating a panic. The pastor said also that 80 per cent of the Santa Ana physicians had early diagnosed numerous cases suffering from the epidemic as typhoid but had been prevailed upon not to quarantine for fear of inducing a panic, announcing the victims suffering from intestinal influenza. The minister also doubted the merit of some of the so-called official tests of water, in view of the brief time in which reports were made. "It would have been far better not to have kept things under cover," declared Betts. The minister also declared that both the water and sewer systems of Santa Ana would have to be rebuilt in order to regain confidence of the public. The Santa Ana board of health is composed of five members, appointed by the city council. Dr. J. I. Clark, health officer, is appointed by the board of health.

TOGETHER Believed Accord Nearer than at Any Time Within Year LONDON, March 3.—Opinion was held in all circles today that an Anglo-French accord is nearer than it has been at any time in more than a year, as a result of a frank letter addressed by Premier Ramsay MacDonald to Premier Poincare asking for closer and more amicable relations. The communications exchanged between the two premiers were given out for publication in Monday morning newspapers. Practically all London papers applauded MacDonald's firmness and frankness, especially his open declaration that the British people were suspicious of the mighty air fleet built up by the French. Further letters will be exchanged and it is believed the premiers will meet for a personal conference after the sessions of reparations experts. Tortus of conciliation are seen in Poincare's reply Poincare asked for a closer understanding with Great Britain and explained that the French had no desire to annex the territory of any other nation. He said the Ruhr was occupied merely in order to bring pressure upon Germany to obtain reparation payments. MacDonald's firmness, coupled with Italy's displeasure over France's modification of France's actions and Belgium's weariness of French policy are expected to lead to a modification of France's program which will make a general European settlement easier. Great Britain wants the United States to participate actively in such a settlement. COUPLE KILLED BY GAS OF AUTO ST.

BUSH FUNERAL TODAY The funeral of Ray Bush, well-known member of the champion Dixie football team, was held in Los Angeles today. Interment Actually Will be Test of Coolidge's Republican Administration By GEO. R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, March 3.—The trial of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty before an admittedly hostile senate committee may prove the political sensation of a decade. It is entirely probable that more than one political skeleton will be forced to rattle in the light of publicity before the investigation of Daugherty's conduct of the department of justice is completed. Actually the trial of Daugherty is a trial of the Republican administration. Ramifications of the Daugherty investigation will spread into nearly every department of the government, for no department of the government is so closely related with all other departments as is the department of justice. And foss of the administration are planning to extend the present inquiry into many phases of government activity—the prohibition unit, the treasury department, the internal revenue bureau, the shipping board, the allen property bureau, with all of whose affairs the department of justice has at one time or another been concerned. The Brookhart committee, already has become the repository for every choice morsel of scandal and gossip floating around the capital. The Democrats are confident of getting a "conviction"—if not actually proving malfeasance on the part of the attorney general, at least they are confident of proving such a laxity of administration that President Coolidge will be forced to do what he has thus far been unwilling to do—request the resignation of the attorney general in writing. On the other hand, the friends of Daugherty are equally confident that the investigation will be fruitless of result. Infar as "getting anything on Daugherty" is concerned, inspired perhaps by the steadfast attitude of the attorney general himself, they believe that before the investigation in many days old they can "show it up" to the country to be a highly sensational political generator, inaugurated just as a presidential campaign is getting under way. Daugherty's friends, charge Colonel H. B. Hersey, in charge of the United States weather bureau here, declared the showers might continue today at various points in southern California, with the center of the storm had passed into Arizona. The precipitation was general throughout Southern California, the only section not touched being the extreme southeastern part of Imperial county. The dairy industry throut southern California was saved from approaching ruin by the rain. Milk took a 20 per quart advance because of the drought, many dairymen were reported on the verge of slaughtering their cows because of a lack of feed or them. With the rain came other weather conditions including, snow, hail, thunder and lightning which were reported from many sections of the southland. Hall fell heavily at Cajon Pass. BUSH FUNERAL TODAY The funeral of Ray Bush, well-known member of the champion Dixie baseball team, was held in Los Angeles today. Interment was at Pairhaven, Santa Ana. A number of local Elks attended the services. and was also reported in Pasadena, Oxnard and Beach points. Several inches of snow fell on Mount Wilson and other nearby mountains. More than a foot of snow was reported from the big bear lake section and the San Bernardino mountains. Vanderlip Claims Coolidge Asked Daugherty to Resign WASHINGTON, March 3.—Frank A. Vanderlip's assertion that President Coolidge has asked for the resignation of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, but did not received it, was characterized at the White House today as too ridiculous to dignify by a denial. President Coolidge has not asked for the attorney general's reservation, it was said, but if he does ask it he will get it. NEW YORK, March 3.—Confronted with the White House denial that President Coolidge had asked for the resignation of Attorney General Daugherty and seen met with refusal, Frank A. Vanderlip, New York financier, said he knew "the exact date and circumstances on which the request occurred." "I am prepared to prove my statement in the face of President Coolidge's denial," Vanderlip said when read a Washington dispatch containing the White House denial which characterized his charge as "too ridiculous to dignify by a denial." "I not only know that President Coolidge requested Attorney General Daugherty to resign, but I know the exact date and circumstances under which the request occurred," Vanderlip declared. "If I am called upon by the committee in Washington I will go down and prove it to them," he added. "I will give out no details to anyone until asked by the committee." "Politicians convicted in the public mind of debauching a public trust must be read out of the Republican party," Vanderlip declared. "The list is not yet complete or anything like it. Events are likely to add rapidly and materially to that list." The Brookhart committee had made no plans to call Vanderlip to testify. "I am in favor of calling him if he has any real information about Daugherty" said Senator Brookhart. "But the committee will want to know first whether he has really got some information or is just talking again."
