There were 142 seated, according to Secretary George W. Reid. It was voted to hold the events monthly. It was a quiet family affair, as usual, bent on having a good time as much as anything else, and the realization of work accomplished or planned by the organization did not fully come, perhaps, until Ed Pet Bear Strikes Down Little Girl CHICO, Sept. 30.—Before the horrified eyes of her mother, little three-year-old Georgia Pepper was struck down and killed at Durham, near here, by a huge bear which all of the children in the neighborhood had regarded as a pet. The bear, owned by W. H. Quimby, a neighbor of the Peppers, has been chained for four years, and children and grown-ups alike had come to regard it almost as a pet, feeding it apples and candy. The child was passing the bear's cage when suddenly a huge brown paw shot out, clutched her dress and pulled the body toward it.

There were 142 seated, according to Secretary George W. Reid. It was voted to hold the events monthly. It was a quiet family affair, as usual, bent on having a good time as much as anything else, and the realization of work accomplished or planned by the organization did not fully come, perhaps, until Ed Smith of the industrial committee made a report, which indicated that prospects were good for obtaining two new industries, one of which wants 20 acres and the other 25. They would employ 1200 persons or more. One of the two consists of an enterprise behind which is an extended organization of orange growers. This industry is already located in the Southland, but intends to move. Its products are citrus juice, made from the small size oranges, oil extracts and cattle food, made from the pulp and peel. The other concern, which is strongly financed, already enploys some 290 and wants to leave Los Angeles. Smith made it clear that when the committee does okeh an industry interested in coming here, the members of the chamber may rest assured that the enterprise will be one that stands on its own feet and is not seeking the bulk of its capital here. A pleasant feature at the close of Smith's talk was his introduction of Mr. and Mrs. James McBride of the McBride Glass Co. Thomas McBride, president of the concern, could not attend the dinner. N. Gibbs and Leslie Wilson are lending their shoulders to the committee's work with Smith. Henry Adams of the Community Industrial Land Co., who when the individual introductions were going about introduced himself as "The Hon. Henry Adams public speaker," told of the company's plans and difficulties. Every time we got anybody lined up, said Adams in substance, describing conditions before the industrial tract of land was secured, land would go up. This was the reason for organizing the land company. The railways are working with the company to make the industrial site a reality, and one-acre and half-acre plots are being offered to enterprises. The McBride Glass Co. took an acre. Adams declared the company was not thru with the work of canvassing for subscribers to the stock. The $75,000 obtained would not suffice, he asserted, to meet all demands on the company. Smith's and Adams' remarks came after a background of fun furnished by some vaudevillians SHANGHAI, Sept. 30.—Four thousand combatants have been killed and wounded—the heaviest battle casualty list in the history of Chinese civil strife—but the battle lines outside Shanghai remained essentially unchanged today.

There were three acts with five or six persons participating, including a Weary Willie whose weird wiles went well with almost everybody, even if the appliance wasn't vociferous. L. P.

Berger Co., gave his address as "ground floor. First National Bank." Dr. C. S. O'Toole, standing on the "balcony" where the main stairway changes its mind on the direction it is going, said his business was "roots and yarbk." And Secretary George W. Reid said he was "servant of everybody." Held's speech was conspicuous by his absence. The speaker of the evening, J. H. Douglas, assistant vice president and manager of the research department of the Security Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles, gave some facts and figures, applying particularly to the metropolis, which showed that too many dark colors had been put on the economic picture of the Southland. Douglas said in part: "From an ever increasing number of sources are appearing indications that business in Southern California is beginning a slow but irreceptible improvement. "Since spring we have had to cope with a combination of accidental factors of an unfavorable tractor. The epidemic of foot mouth disease was more severe in So. Calif. than in other parts of the State. At the same time we were faced with the problems of as depleted water supply due to rainfall shortage. This had its effect upon agricultural crops."

LA FOLLU DENOUNG BY RANK FAST, SAYS COOLIDGE SACRAMENTO, Sept. 20 — Pledging his aid in stimulating the development of water power, reclamation and the metal industry, President Coolidge, in a message to the American Mining Congress, today declared that "a country growing as fast as our own cannot limit its consideration to immediate necessities." The president's message, which was read at the opening business session of the National Mining meeting here today, expressed hope that the treaty negotiated among the Colorado River basin states, looking to an adjustment of their differences over interstate water rights, would soon be ratified. Development of the Colorado river, as proposed by the administration, should be undertaken promptly, he said. Dealing with criticism on water and reclamation projects, based on the ground there is already over-production in agricultural projects, the president said such attacks come from "lack of understanding that these projects take years for development; that they furnish only a small portion of the total increased food supply required by our ever increasing population; that the utilization of their supplies lies in the development of the west itself." "Many people now living will see this a country of 200,000,000 inhabitants," the president continued. "The national interest will be served by promoting the widest diffusion of population. The nation's security, the best social development, the wisest utilization of natural resources—all demand this." Referring specifically to the mining industry, and its prospects, Pres. Coolidge said: "With the resumption of expansion of the industry and trade throughout the world in the next few years we will be able to absorb a much larger production of gold and silver than is now demanded. SIEMANN RETURNS W. J. Siemann, president of the First National Bank, returned last night over the Santa Fe from Aberdeen, S. D., and Rochester, Ming, having been absent about a month. Mr. Siemann formerly GENEVA, Sept. 30. — The League of Nations will take precedence over the World Court of arbitration in international disputes growing out of domestic legislation as a result of a compromise reached today in the Japanese crisis. It was an important victory for Japan, following the acceptance of a compromise between Japan and Australia, an amendment to the arbitration protocol was drawn up meeting Japanese protest. The League of Nations becomes a court of last resort in international quarrels arising from regulation by any state involving the rights of citizens of another nation. The United States, not being a member of the League, will not be a signatory to the arbitration protocol. We accept the amendment because it does not impair the state's sovereignty," said Sir Littleton Groom, of Australia in addressing the commission. M. Adaeni, of Japan was even more laconic saying: "After reflection the Japanese delegation accepts." GENEVA, Sept. 30. — The Japanese dispute which threatened to wreck the League of Nations peace plans was virtually settled today when Japan and Australia accepted a compromise formula dealing with the aggressor clause of the arbitration protocol. The formula in question, which is based upon article 11 of the League of Nations covenant, was carefully examined at a secret meeting of British, French and Japanese delegates. Article 11 deals with international dangers wherein war is threatened. This formula gives Japan the constitutional right, under the league council if she believes war is threatened. It gives other members of the league the same right. An amendment will be drawn, based upon the formula, for insertion in the arbitration protocol. The committee of three which examined the formula consisted of Sir Cecil Hurst, of England; M. Loucheur, of France, and Sigurjac Sclajov of Italy. Announcement was made that these three, after careful examination of the formula, agreed in behalf of their governments to accept the principle that the League Council should attempt conciliation even after an arbitration decision had been rendered. This was a victory for Japanese diplomacy. Japan's greatest accomplishment was to change the protocol's definition of aggressor to say: "A state can only be assumed to be an aggressor if it has not previously submitted the question in dispute to the League Council or to the assembly in action."

Japan's greatest accomplishment was to change the protocol's definition of aggressor to say: "A state can only be assumed to be an aggressor if it has not previously submitted the question in dispute to the League Council or to the assembly in accordance with article eleven of the League of Nations covenant." The League Assembly will meet in plenary session tomorrow morning to hear the protocol read by the committee. Debate will then open. The judicial sub-committee, upon which both Japan and the British dominions are represented, met at 3 o'clock and unanimously adopted the aggressor formula. The amendment which will be attached to article six of the arbitration protocol to meet the Japanese protest reads: "If a question is held by a court of arbitration to be a matter solely within the state's domestic jurisdiction, the decision shall not prevent the League Council or Assembly from considering the situation in accordance with article eleven of the League covenant." Mr. Politis, of Greece, chairman of the first commission, introduced the formula with the following comment: Two changes in articles five and six of the arbitration protocol satisfy all the legitimate Japanese demands without weakening any of the given securities which other states should obtain from the protocol. "It is imperative to include in the protocol the last chance a state, in dispute with another over domestic questions, should have to enable a settlement of the quarrel through pacific means before being called an aggressor." The first commission met in plenary session at 4:45 o'clock.

Meredith, former secretary of agriculture who hailed agriculture as the controlling factor in all business of the nation and pointed to the prosperity of the farmer as a barometer of the prosperity of the country. Head opened his address with a vigorous attack on "all radical proposals" and he declared one of the greatest needs of the country today be "to repel the attacks now being made upon the integrity of the United States supreme court." "We should—we must—oppose vigorously all efforts to give congress the power to over-ride decisions of the supreme court and thereby destroy the division of governmental power which is the inherent strength of our constitutional system," Head continued. Head quoted the denunciation of the La Follette program made by John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for president and lauded Davis and Coolidge for their stands on the matter. "Mr. Coolidge is exactly right." Head went on. "When he says 'the people know the difference between pretense and reality.' The people want a government of common sense."

CHESSUM GOES TO SAN FRANCISCO Geo. S. Chessum, for four years secretary of the Orange-co Y. M. C.

It was stated that action of the legislature would have been needed if all cities had joined the enterprise, and that a site along the Santa Ana river had been selected as the most suitable. In this connection it was declared that a meeting of the four councils would be held at the city hall at Fullerton Friday night. The sanitary districts of Placentia, La Habra and Garden Grove will be represented in discussions to revolve around the revised contracts adjusting the capacities of each district in the joint outfall sewer, necessary when La Habra was permitted to enter the project. Mayor E. H. Metcalf of Anaheim stated today he believed the development of wells as has been the custom was by far the most economical solution for Anaheim's water problem. "It is only a question of a comparatively short time until water from the Colorado river will be available here," said the mayor. "Even if it were necessary to drill two new wells each year until then, the cost would be a fraction of that for a water project such as Santa Ana proposes. If a reservoir were constructed beyond the Santa Ana river as proposed, Anaheim's share of the cost would be at least half a million dollars besides $200,000 for distribution." "We have an excellent water strata here, and I do not fear for the immediate future." COME WEST TO ESTABLISH HOME Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gunnett of Springfield, Ill., arrived last night to visit their uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gunnett.
