Hugh Pomeroy, secretary of th BEEN SENTENCED No more nine months in jail and not yet sentenced! Friends of J. L. Findlay, of Anaheim, who know the facts regarding his connection with the robbery of Dec. 27 last of money and bonds valued at more than $23,000 from an Anaheim postoffice pouch, are convinced that Findlay, when sentenced, will get off with a short term, the nine months to apply upon it. In their opinion, there is hardly any other course open to Federal Judge Benjamin Bledsoe of Los Angeles. They point out that while Findlay was guilty, he was mainly a tool of others, and that if he hadn't confessed—really turned state's evidence—J. R. Abernathy would never have been convicted nor he or Charles R. Wheeler or J. U. Hemml, former attorney here, been indicted or brought to trial. Furthermore, thru Findlay almost entirely, nearly two thirds of the loot was recovered. Hemml's trial on the charge of receiving stolen property, was scheduled to come up on Sept. 16, but was again continued. At his house a satchel was recovered containing some $5500 which Abernathy had brought there, while another large sum was recovered in a bank in Missouri, where it had been deposited by a brother of Abernathy's. Abernathy is now serving a term in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, federal prison. A heavy fine also was imposed upon him. MANY SEE PARADE FRESNO, Oct. 2.—The annual raison day celebration was officially inaugurated today with a monster parade which it was estimated more than 75,000 people who but the sidewalks witnessed. An unusually large number of visitors thronged Fresno today because the raisin day celebration this year is being held in conjunction with the Fresno district fair. Three actors, two of them mounted on horses, narrowly escaped death by drowning when they and their mounts were hurried from a draw-bridge during the filming of the final scene for "Yolanda." Marion Davies' latest super-feature for the Cosmopolitan Corporation, which is booked at the California theatre for four days, beginning Sunday. This particular scene, which was filmed in the rear of the Cosmopolitan studio, is described as one of the most realistic that has ever been staged for a film. It depicts a thrilling escape from the Palace of Louis XI of France, one of the principal characters in Charles Major's story, "Yolanda," from which the picture has been adapted. For this scene a huge set representing the palace had been fashioned. Surrounding the palace ran a moat, 17 feet in depth, spanned by a huge steel draw-bridge. The action called for a sudden dash across the draw-bridge of two horsemen. In attempting to frustrate their escape from the palace one of the King's soldiers started to hack away the bridge's supports. His task was almost completed when the escaping horsemen reached the bridge. It gave way and with the men and horses crashed into the moat. Hazardous as it appeared to be, the sequence was successfully effected. Two of the actors, George Buckward and James Deuchar—both "stunt" men—became entangled with their mounts, however after striking the water and cried for assistance. Paul Van Blarcon and Alee McMullin, two other "stunt" men dived in and helped them reach a place of vantage that had been supplied to get the horses from the moat. This final scene is said to be the most thrilling in "Yolanda," described as the greatest picture in which Miss Davies has yet starred. Robert G. Vignola is the director and Luther Reed wrote the scenario. Still, once in a while you meet a young intellectual who has good hard sense.

INSURED ROMANCE DENNY'S PROBLEM Keeping an insured romance out of hot water is a hilarious, sometimes thrilling and not infrequently perilous undertaking. All of which is comically exemplified by Reginald Denny in his new Universal starring vehicle, "The Reckless Age," which opens at the United Theater tomorrow. Denny romps through the lightning-like sequence of events, alternating thrills and laughs, in great style. The story will be remembered as Earl Derr Biggers' Saturday Evening Post tale, "Love Insurance," and Harry Pollard, the director, has made a thing of joy for the playgoers out of it. Denny plays the part of an insurance man detailed to protect the romance of a nobleman who has insured himself against failure to marry an heiress his heart is set on. The first thing the agent does is fall in love with her himself; when not busy being in love he disposes of a breach of promise suit, a blackmail plot, a bogus claimant to the nobleman's title. There is a big fight scene in a newspaper office; there is a hairraising dash in an automobile, a sensational kidnapping on a yacht and a few other daring bits of action to embellish the story. The cast is excellent. Ruth Dwyer, who is very beautiful, plays the heress, and Denny is well justified in falling in love with her. William Austin appears as the nobleman, and Hayden Stevelson enacts a sensational advertising expert. May Wallace and John Steppling play the heroine's parents effectively, and Tom McGuire is clever as a sporting millionaire. Fred Malatesta, as a fiery son of Italy looking for trouble, is another bright light on the cast. Most "hard boiled guys" are only one minute eggs. SPENT YESTERDAY WITH OLD FRIENDS C. H. Bieber of Detroit, Mich., an old friend of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Ziegentuss, 118 N. Palm-st., pleasantly surprised them yesterday by dropping in. Mr. Bieber is superintendent of car service of the Michigan Central Ry., and has frequently visited the Southland, but this was his first visit to Anaheim. He was agreeably surprised at the beauty of the city, but remarked that no matter how advantageously a town may be located if can not long prosper when almost totally dependent upon neighboring cities for its manufactured utilities. Said he, "Doctor, if your solid citizens would add a goodly number of factories in which your people could find employment I am sure this city could compete with any other in Southern California." 21 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported week ending Sept. 27, show 21 new wells started, compared with 19 previous week; three in Dominguez field; three in Rosecrans; one in Santa Fe Springs; five in Torrance; one in Orange and eight in Kern County.
