Journeyed over to Compton last evening to take in the American Legion boxing card, and to take a look at the giant Victor Alexander in action. He was pitted against Mack House, one of the best big boys on the coast. His latest ibo to fame was his knockout of San Langfords "white hope" in the second round of a scheduled four-round match. House displayed much more ring science but was unable to stave off Alexander's great natural power. With a lot more experience. "The Man Life Passed By" Thrilling Tale of Revenge Coming to the United Theatreator. The climax occurs when the repentant man goes to "Iron Man" Moore's home to ask for justice, and is shot down. But of course the tangle is happily straightened in the end. One of the most effective sequences in the picture is the Roman Revel given by the younger sister. The garden is decorated to resemble an arena, and the guests are all attired in the togas and draperies of the days of Nero and Titus. A chariot race is run around the "course" with the young men of the party acting as horses. SEND BODY TO FITCHBURG ORLANDO, Fla., March 8.

Barnett ran in one race but was taken out by CoaFitzmorris on account of a bad foot. Barnett is one of the best men on the team and his absence was felt keenly. Inju, Tustin miller, circled the oval in surprisingly quick time. Several other good records were made and the teams are showing a decided improvement. CoaFitzmorris will arrange a meet each week before the Orange-cmeet at Huntington Beach, April 5th. Lenz and Dahlman were Anaheim's high point winners yesterday.

I did not know what the letter contained." About two weeks after that, he and one Findlay and one Wheeler, residents of Anaheim, were arrested. That is the first I heard of mail robbery or anything implicating Mr. Abernathy. His wife called me to see him in jail. I reluctantly went. There he told me he had a complete alibi, saying that on the day of the robbery (Dec. 27th) he went by auto with his wife and children and mother-in-law to Los Angeles and remained there all afternoon till nearly 5:30 and arrived in Anaheim about 7 p.m. The robbery was at 5:30. He also stated that he could prove by witnesses where he got every dollar of that money. I went back to his wife and mother-in-law that same night, and they verified the alibi, so I thought, even then, that perhaps he was innocent. After he got out of jail on bail, he came to my office with a letter from his brother in Missouri, which letter said that the Bank there refused to send him a check for that money. He and his wife literally begged me to go to Missouri to raise that money or other money for him to fight his case. I secured full Power of Attorney to sell or mortgage all his lands there, and to demand for all sums due him, signed by him and wife and duly acknowledged and went to Missouri paying my way out of my own pocket. When I arrived at Lutesville, Missouri, the first person I met to know by name was Wm. Abernathy. He called me to one side, his brother with him, and said he wished to ask me a question. I said, "go ahead." He asked me if there was a "Hemmi Construction Co." I said there was not, and asked him where he got that. He then told me that Joe, his brother, wrote in the letter with the money that he got it from the Hemmi Construction Co., who were big contractors, and who did not want it known that they ADMINISTRATION PUSHES TAX CUT WASHINGTON, March 8.—The administration this afternoon went over the head of the house ways and means committee to get action on the proposal of Secretary of the Treasury to reduce income taxes by 25%. Acting presumably at the request of Mellon, Representative Stephen G. Porter, Republican of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution in the house to put this resolution into effect regardless of the fate of the general tax reduction bill, now pending in the senate. FATHER REFUSES TO ASSIST YOUTH Frank W. Christian, alias A. N. Smith, 21, arrested by Fullerton police yesterday for passing a fictional check of $35 on the Jack Ganz Clothing Store, was arraigned before Judge French, and is being held for a preliminary hearing on bail of $2000. Christian did not give his correct name to the police at the time of his arrest, but it was learned later who he was, and that his father works on the James T. Hill ranch near Fullerton. The police notified his father of the arrest, and he came in to talk to his son, but refused to assist him, saying that he had gotten into it, and now he must take his medicine. Christian gave the police the name of A. N. Smith at the time of the arrest. H. Wendal of Pomona, arrested last night at a dance in La Habra by members of the sheriff's force, was arraigned this morning before Judge French on the charge of possession of liquor, entered a plea of guilty and was fined $300 or sentenced to 300 days in jail. SCHOONER CRASHES INTO R. R. BRIDGE MARSHFIELD, Ore., March 8. When I arrived at Lutesville, Missouri, the first person I met to know by name was Wm. Abernathy. He called me to one side, his brother with him, and said he wished to ask me a question. I said, "go ahead." He asked me if there was a "Hemmi Construction Co." I said there was not, and asked him where he got that. He then told me that Joe, his brother, wrote in the letter with the money that he got it from the Hemmi Construction Co. who were big contractors, and who did not want it known that they paid him any commission. "Then," said William, "Joe Led, did he not?" I said that if he wrote such a thing, he lied. The postal detective got there before I did, and had the letter, I was then informed. Also knowledge of all the drafts. Now that is the first time I ever heard of "Hemmi Construction Company," and the first time I learned of the contents of that letter. William Abernathy told me it was no use trying to sell or mortgage any of Joe's land there as the newspapers were full of the story, and that money was very hard to get anyway, besides, it was foolish for Joe to spend his money fighting the case with all this evidence against him and that he better make a clean breast of the whole matter. I fully agreed with him, and told William I would go back at once and tell Joe so. I did that very thing and told his wife and his attorneys. I called on him immediately after my return. He still maintained his innocence, and refused to follow my advice. When I reached Torrance, I was arrested for conspiring with Abernathy, Wheeler and Findlay to rob the U.S. mail. Findlay had about the time of their arrest made confession, but did not implicate me in any way. Nobody thought of me, that I know, until after the officials found those drafts and letter in Missouri. The statement of my telling William Abernathy of Los Angeles parties connected with the payment of a commission is a lie; also that I told William this money was handled by the "Hemmi Construction Co." I never heard of such a thing until after my arrival in Missouri. I never heard of robbery until Abernathy's arrest. Why did they not arrest me if Findley or anybody else had connected me in any way. No, not till after I returned from Missouri. They probably thot I carried a lot of money with me to Missouri, and there to buy drafts with it, is one reason why they caused my arrest, and to search me thinking they might find such drafts. They found none, for I had none. I had some of the money in Torrance, which I voluntarily turned over to them. I also told the officials all I knew about it.

Equipped with a remarkable story, magnificent scenery and players that seem to fit the roles it as if the parts were made the players and not the players for the parts, the picture is triumph of cinematic art. The story brings out the misery of loveless marriage. A young girl, to please her mother and satisfy her ambition for a titled daughter, married a Scotch nobleman whom she does not love. After touring Switzerland and the US, going through a mock homo-moon, they settle down in Sandge, Conn., because Sir Alien Embard, now an invalid, needs aid climate. One night, after a particularly inciting incident with her husband, Lucretia gives him an over-dose of morphine which she thinks is addictive. FARNUM IN ROLE OF TEXAS RANGER Few roles of the hundreds in which he has appeared gave Dustin Harrum greater opportunity to enact a romantic partnership at the same time present a vivid moral than the Fox production of "The Grail," which opens at the Fairryland Theatre for the usual Saturday and Sunday run. As Chic Shelby, a hard-eyed Texas Ranger, who has dedicated his life to duty, Farnum is said to appear to exceptional advantage. Peggy Shaw, formerly of the Follies, has the opposite role, portraying the clergyman's daughter with whom the Ranger is in love. Drawn between love and duty, Shelby chooses the latter. Trickery, treachery and murder are defeated by honesty, devotion to duty and a square deal, backed with a quick trigger finger and a sure aim. It's the kind of a picture you would expect Dustin Farnum to appear in and the type which he personally prefers. The story was written by George Scarborough and the scenario was handled by Charles Kenyon. Colin Campbell directed the cast, which included Leon Barry, Carl Stockdale, Farnes CALL TO PRACTICE Miss Dorcas Jacques, manager of the Business and Professional Women's baseball team, has called a practice at the high school diamond Monday evening at 5 o'clock.

Pictured in Texas, with actual characters from that storm country in the scenes, "The Grail" promises one of the most realistic screen offerings seen here in some time.

One night, after a particularly incident with her husband, Lucretia gives him an over-dose morphine, which she thinks is mirrin. Lombard having juggled with the powders. On the occasion of the coroner's request, Lucretia meets Stephen Enniship, the district attorney, who is also the victim of a love-s marriage. Lucretia is strang-attracted towards Stephen. He feels the magnetism of her tenderful personality and they fall in love with each other. Stephen's young wife soon finds the state of affairs andoken-hearted runs away to her country camp. The scenes that follow bring some of the most enchanting scenes of scenery in the mountains well as a fierce conflagration which Fate settles accounts.
