FINANCE COMPANY IS INCORPORATED Articles of incorporation of the Old Colony Finance Co., filed with the Secretary of State at Sacramento yesterday, should prove interesting news to the people of this section as it means the establishment here of an organization whose business it will be to make loans to those who are without banking connections, extend accommodations to mercantile and automobile dealers on commercial paper, and deal generally in bills receivable. The handling of mortgages comes under the function of the Company which is being financed by Long Beach, and Anaheim men and which will have as its board of directors citizens of this city and be managed by a local business man whose identification with the commercial activities of the county, peculiarly equips him to conduct the affairs of the corporation to the advantage of the shareholders. The volume of business already assured is of a character that promises substantial earnings which can be attributed to the fact that charges for rent and management is a small item while the equipment and fixture outlay is so insignificant that when compared to the usual expense bill in furnishing a modern bank it is inconsequential. Institutions of a similar character have been established in practically every thriving and progressive community in the United States and particularly in California and other sections where good roads and favorable climatic conditions makes for a greater use of the automobile. When the fact is borne in mind that the majority of cars and tractors in use in this country are sold on the partial payment plan the need of finance corporations WILLIAMS DROPS HOT NET BANK (By Robert Kinsley (U.

L.A.MAY BUY WATER RIGHTS LOS ANGELES, July 31.—Settlement of Los Angeles' long fight with residents of the Gwens River Valley over water rights was foreseen here today, following presentation to the city council of a plan by Mayor George Cryer to purchase the valley irrigation lands. The communication sets forth that the city has already purchased a part of the lands, but that this has not given the desired increase of water since the remaining land holders use as much water as the entire district previously did. Mayor Cryer sees in the purchase of the entire district a complete alleviation of the present and future weater shortages pending its completion of the projected Colorado river plan, which he says may take ten years, during which time the water needs of the city will be constantly increasing. Buchta Vindicated J. Buchta, proprietor of a hotel at 312 E. Fourth-st., Santa Ana, stood vindicated today of a charge that he had disposed of mortgaged property. Justice J. B. Cox, after hearing the case, decided there was no case against the hotel man. The prosecution, in fact, itself reached such a decision and asked that the charge be dismissed. Mrs. Lillian Emmett, from whom Buchta had purchased the hotel lease and furniture several months ago, had filed the charge, claiming that Buchta had disposed of some of the furniture on which she held a mortgage. The mortgage was exhibited in court and Attorney L. A. West, who was defending Buchta, pointed out that it was defective in that it contained no description of the mortgaged property, and that, further, it allowed for replacements to be made. With his attention called to the alleged defects in the mortgage, Deputy Dist. Atty. Kenneth H. Burns stated that there was no case against Buchta, and asked that the charge be dismissed.

CLAIMS HE GAVEN PLOT TO LOOK Statement to Voters Statement to Voters is Made by Dr. Ball: As a candidate for re-election as assemblyman to represent Orange County, Dr. C. D. Ball, of Santa Ana, declares that his hands are in no way tied by political leaders or cliques. "No clique and no politician brought me into this race," said Dr. Ball. "and therefore I can go to Sacramento to use my own judgment, and do my own thinking, and perfectly free at all times to represent the whole people of Orange County. If any controversy arises—and of course there will be many—I shall listen to the people of this County, for I am not pledged to play any man's political game. I wouldn't waste my time by going to the Legislature if I had to go there as a rubber stamp for any individual or any clique in Orange County or elsewhere." Dr. Ball's friends—and he has lived in this County as an active and courageous citizen for thirty-seven years and therefore has many friends—say that his intimate knowledge of the County and his close association with business, humanitarian, educational and political affairs of the County for these many years make him the kind of man that a growing County like Orange County ought to have at Sacramento to represent it.

WILLIAMS DROPS HOT NET BATTLE (By Robert Kinsey) (U. S. Doubles Tennis Champion) (Written for International News Service) SEABRIGHT, N. J., July 31.—California will carry off the laurels in the men's singles of the Seabright Invitation Tennis Tournament. William M. Johnston and Howard Kinsey, Pacific coast stars, today won their semi-final matches in an easy fashion, and "little Bill" powerful forehand smashes will be pitted against Kinsey's chop stokes in the championship match. Johnston won in straight sets from Nat W. Niles, Boston, and Kinsey defeated Lucien Williams, the young collegian. Johnston won the first set from Niles in easy fashion, 6-2 and was within a point of victory in the second with games at 5-1 when the Bostonian rallied and held the Californiaian off until the tenth game when "little Bill" unlimbered and took the game at love and the set at 6-4. Kinsey deefaced Williams, 6-4, 6-0. The Chicgoan could not handle the Kinsey chop. Howard Kinsey of San Francisco, was the fourth man to reach the semi-finals, when he won from Walter Westbrook, 6-3, 6-3. Howard and Walter played almost entirely from the back court, Kinsey's shots carrying more pace and forcing his weaker opponent to miss. This afternoon Kinsey plays Williams, while Johnston meets Niles and barring upsets, it looks very much like an all-California final. Two seeded teams in the men's doubles, Johnston and Griffin of California and Behr and Mathey, have reached the semi-finals. Johnston and Griffin won from Norton and King, only the second stanza being closely contested, and reaching four-all. Tagging All Bases The Pirates opened an important series with the Giants with a six to three victory, the veteran Wilbur Cooper pitching air-tight ball after the first inning. Burleigh Grimes, Brooklyn's spitball artist, blanked the Cubs, 6 to 0. The Braves came out of their slump and took two games from the Reds, 3 to 0 and 6 to 3. While the Yankees were litle in St. Louis, Washington climbed to within half a game of second place by trimming the Tigers' 7 to 4. Three runs in the 4th did it. Chicago was victorious, 7 to 6 in the battle of the Sox. Two Boston pitchers were knocked out of the box in the eighth and ninth innings when the White Sox scored six runs. The last of Willie Kannah's five hits drove in the winning marker. Cleveland beat the Athletics by late rally, five to four. Ohio's punch single sent in the winning run.

Mayor Metcalf said today: "I have visited the park and looked over everything carefully and I want to say the report in The Bulletin last night was unqualifiedly false. Any damage was only the most trifling as anyone can ascertain by a visit to the park." Councilman A. A. Slaback, chairman of the police, light and water committee, stated: "The report was malicious and false and cannot go unchallenged. I visited the park early yesterday and again with several citizens today. If there was any damage we couldn't find it. Anyone can see for himself. What is a park for if it isn't to entertain 20,000 people? "This report was just another example of the misrepresentation in certain newspapers that has characterized anything concerning the klan. H. L. Brisco, contractor: "I was at the park Tuesday evening from 7:30 to 11:15 p.m. I noted particularly the orderlines with which everything was carried out and the care of the crowd with respect to the park shrubbery and flowers. After reading the report in The Bulletin I again visited the park. I found the report absolutely untrue. One thing more I will say: that crowd Tuesday evening was made-up of Amererican citizens and they should certainly be welcomed at an Anaheim park. Jack Milldrum, garage proprietor, said: "I made a special trip to the park today and want to" MOST STOCKED SHARP ART NEW YORK, July lative interest conveys stock market today a market exhibited readies and the grape were unasettled and w wheat and corn prices as the session proceed.

This afternoon Kinsey plays Williams, while Johnston meets Niles and barring upstairs, it looks very much like an all-California final. Two seeded teams in the men's doubles, Johnston and Griffin of California and Behr and Matehy, have reached the semifinals. Johnston and Griffin won from Norton and King, only the second stanza being closely contested, and reaching four-all beheir the former national champions went htru for the set. Johnston's play in both singles and doubles yesterday was greatly improved. Peck Griffin lacked his usual confidence and was not up to standard. An interesting fact is the change in position of the California team. Johnston is now playing the left court and Griffin the right. Personally I do not believe this formation improves their team work and certainly it lessens the effectiveness of Johnston's driving power. SEABRIGHT, N.J., July 31—Williams dropped the first set at 14-12 after being within a point of winning it no less than four times. Leading at 9-10, 15-40, with Snodgrass serving, Williams took the net position, forcing the Californian to put up a weak job which Babe smashed severely. It appeared to be unreturnable but Harvey managed to return it. Williams smashing the return out of the court. The Chicago boy lost heart at this point and the set went to Snodgrass. While Williams appeared physically tired, his playing did not reveal it and he anxied the next two stanzas, 6-2, 6-4. The elimination of Snodgrass leaves two Californians in the semi-finals for this afternoon's play. William Johnston played championship tennis yesterday, never allowing Alex Thayer but four games in the two sets. Alex, who hails from Philadelphia, has a fast service and well executed ground strokes. The game was of the sort that the San Francisco man likes and his bullet-like returns found the corners for many aces. As predicted by close followers of the game, Nat Niles put out Dean Meyley easily in straight sets. Dean got but three games, which came his way by persistent storming of the net. Niles was never in danger of losing a set. CLAIMS HE GAVE PLOT TO LLOYD LOS ANGELES, July 31—Asserting he supplied Harold Lloyd, Jim comedian, with the plot one of his recent productions, Carl Evans, 28, declared to be a shell shocked veteran of the city.
