Inspection of Beautiful New Structure Precedes Ceremony
With the Grand Chancellor of California presiding, and in the presence of other grand officers and supreme representatives, the splendid new building of the Knights of Pythias was formally dedicated last night.
Approximately $50 Pythians from all over the state saw the ceremony in the handsome lodge room.
Previous to the meeting an inspection of the new structure took place, members showing the visitors about.
The lodge meeting was opened at 8:30 by Fred Davia, local Chancellor Commander, who afterward turned the gavel over to Grand Chancellor Myers.
Other grand officers present were: Frank P. Merriam of Long Beach, Speaker of the House at Sferamento, vice grand chancellor Fred Jones of Hollywood, Grand Publisher: Charles Chelter of Sign Priscionson, Grand Keeper of Records and Scales; and William Callating or Redondo Beach, Minister at Arms.
All of the grand officers made remarks during the evening. Other speakers were Robert Loucks of Los Angeles, Supreme Representative from the California domain and R. W. Duncan, supreme Representative of the Utah domain.
The speakers were unanimous in declaring the building the finest of the sort in the United States or Canada.
The Anaheim lodge also was complimented for its splendid work in financing and constructing the new office, Jeffries & Schaffer of Los Angeles, the architects, who specialize on this type of work, were especially lauded.

MAKE EFFORT TO RAISE BONUS
WASHINGTON, June 10.—Responding to President Coolidge's request to bend every effort toward finding some way to go ahead with the administration of the soldiers' bonus law, despite the failure of congress to appropriate the necessary money, the war department announced officially this afternoon that the bonus would go forward as originally scheduled.
All unappropriated funds in the possession and under the control of the war department, amounting to several million dollars, will be utilized for this purpose.
The decision to use these funds was reached by Acting Secretary of War Davis, following a conference with Budget Director Lord and Comptroller General McCarl.
Similar plans are being developed by the navy department and the veterans bureau with the approval of President Coolidge.
When congress meets in December the appropriation that should have been made last Saturday, $135,000,000, will be again requested.

Reference to Enforcement of Law Brings Cheers From Delegates
CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND, June 10.—The Republican national convention was formally put under way in Cleveland's beautiful auditorium this morning with the quiet precision of a well oiled machine.
No fuss, no feathers, no disorder, and what noise there was was almost lost in the magnificent great open spaces of the hall.
The picture presented when the opening gavel fell was theatrical rather than political. The hall was almost cathedral-like in its vastness and beauty.
For the last 20 years I have had the soot from the rafters of the old coliseum sifted down my basin whenever anybody disturbed the air by yelling real loud," said an old timer. "Here I feel as tho I were in church. If that organ would just strike up "Nearer My God or Thee" I'd shut my eyes and swear it was Sunday."
Cleveland certainly showed the hosts of Republicanism something new in the way of conventions. It was an artistic triumph, however, cut and dried the politics of the meeting might be.
The delegates just sat and looked at the spaciousness, the soft rose and violet lights shed down from the lofty ceiling, and remarked about the absence of the familiar lanting, red, white and blue decorations.
There was none of the old familiar panoply and display of other conventions.
The crowd was slow in arriving and strangely enough they spectators in the balconies that ringed the spacious hall were slower than the delegates.
At 10:30 o'clock, half an hour before the gavel was due to fall, there were only a handful of people in the galleries and the first delegates began to appear on the floor. By 11 o'clock, the opening hour, the floor was well filled but the spectators were still taking their sweet time in arriving. Not half the seats were filled at the opening hour.
It was two minutes past 11 when John T. Adams, grey-haired and smiling, stalked out onto the platform and banged a new gavel.
Immediately a band struck into the Star Spangled Banner. From the back of the stage with multi-colored lights playing on it, dropped a huge American flag. They
DR. R. E. WHITTED IS FOUND GUILTY
Dr. R. E. Whitted, Santa Ana dentist, charged with a statutory offense against a 17-year-old girl, was found guilty by a jury deliberating one hour and three minutes. The dentist was lodged in all to await sentence, the passing of which Judge Drumm set for Friday morning at 9:30. The penalty is from one to 15 years in the penitentiary.
Dr. Whitted received the verdict solidly, betraying no emotion whatever. By request, the jury was polled, each affirming his vote.
Motion for a new trial was made by Dr. Whitted's attorney, Lyndie Bishop, but it is not known at this time whether the case will be appealed should the new trial be denied.
TITLE CLEARED TO LODGE HOME SITE
Yorba Linda Masonic lodge is clear of its worries today regarding the title of its recently purchased property. Mrs. Nellie Balstead had entered suit against theodge claiming the deed wasorged. Jackson Mays, who sold the property to the Masonic order in June, 1923, bought it a few days before from Mrs. Balstead. The denied signing the deed to Jackson. The court found the signature was legal and cleared thetitle.

The world court proposal also was indorsed.
While the women were endorsing the proposal to dry up theworld, the A.M.A.' house of delegates returned a favorable report on a resolution introduced yesterday urging that certain sections ofthe dry act objectionable to physicians in prescribing alcoholic medicines be repealed.
A part of this resolution protested against limiting the numberof prescriptions which may be written by a physician.

It was two minutes past 11when John T. Adams, grey-bairedand smiling, stalked out ontothe platform and banged a new gavel.
Immediately a band struck intothe Star Spangled Banner.Fromthe back of the stage with multicolored lights playing on it,dropped a huge American flag. Theywas a round of applause as theband finished and the lights wenton again.
Then with John Philip Sousa,the famous bandmaster, wieldingthe baton, the band struck up theStars and Stripes Forever, whilesergeants at arms and other super-numeraries dashed hither andyongetting the stage set for the formalpicture.
The floor presented a busy picturewith delegates milling aroundfinding their seats and shakinghands with friends and acquaintances.
It was more like old homework than a hectic political convention.Secretary of the Treasury Mall was the center of a little throngand in the space of a few minutesprobably shook more hands thanhe does in a work in Washington.
The gavel fell again and Adamsintroduced to the gathering BishopWilliam P. Anderson of theMethodic Episcopal church, who deliveredaprayer. He spoke at length,giving thanks for the greatleaders of the past and asking divineguidance for the future.
