WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1924 THOUSANDS JOIN PAPAL CEREMONY ROME, Dec. 24—With thousands of pilgrims and sight-sers looking on, Pope Plus today opened the celebration of the holy year. With three light taps of a jewel-set hammer he knocked on the jubilee door of Saint Peter. When the ceremony began at 11 o'clock every seat in the royal boxes was filled, royalty, nobility and distinguished guests being present for the occasion. Altho the Eternal City has perhaps more pilgrims and sight-sers present than at any modern celebration of holy years, it was noticed that the percentage of Americans was very small. From far and near the pilgrims have come, no small number of them retaining the oft-times quaint costumes of their native countries. History records only 23 jubilee years. On occasions in the past the Eternal City has held as high as 3,000,000 pilgrims. That was in the year 1600. The actual ceremonies today were brief. They began at 11 o'clock and by 12 o'clock all of the details were completed. The ceremony itself is not so important as it is significant. Plein Dealer Classified Ads produce results.

Irwin, national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, a holiday message of hope and cheer. "To the men whose disabilities tell most eloquently of their service and sacrifices in the armed forces of the nation," he wrote, "my heartiest greetings go forth at this Christmas season, the seventh since the conclusion of the world war. Their valor, which aroused the world's admiration during hostilities has since then effaced our continuing respect because of their courageous fight to heal the wounds of war.

MONTGOMERY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY Two pointed statements by Dr. Montgomery, chief of the Anti-Saloon League, in regard to the reflections of C. N. Mozley, chief deputy district attorney, on Chief Weymouth of the dry forces, and by Rev. Leon L. Myers, in regarding to the present county grand jury probe were the principal developments today in the controversy following the recent county-wide raid and the three public mass meetings in which the facts of lack of law enforcement in the county came out. Montgomery and Pastor Myers were in conference today in the former's office at Los Angeles. Dr. Montgomery declared over the phone that he had seen with his own eyes the case record concerning the first of the offenders brought to County jail and later freed because of an alleged lack of legal papers necessary to hold him. He averred that on the basis of the evidence in this record an information against the first of the offenders had been issued by the U.S. District Attorney and a warrant put into the hands of the U.S. Marshal to be served. Weymouth, he asserted, was not a law enforcement officer, but obtained the evidence on which the law could proceed. Continuing, Dr. Montgomery said that Weymouth had told him personally that he had spent two hours trying in vain to get Mozley on the phone, following the latter's protest that the necessary legal papers in the first case were lacking, to tell him that the regular course had been followed by the U.S. District Attorney and U.S. Marshal. Dr. Montgomery added that he is no more of a law enforcement officer than Weymouth. 'Weymouth was quite capable of answering Mozley. In Mozley's first phone talk with Weymouth, Mozley didn't make clear what case he had in mind and Weymouth had to iden- NOTED M. D.

SPECULATION ON PROBE OF JURY All members and witnesses being sworn to secrecy, speculation was rife today as to what transpired yesterday before the county grand jury, in session at Santa Ana, where Rev. Leon Myers of Anaheim, and William Starbuck and Albert J. Stuelke of Fullerton were summoned to testify, presumably relative to the recent dry raids in the county and to resultant charges of official enforcement laxity that have been made. The three were called at the instance of District Attorney A. P. Nelson, whose office has borne the brunt of attacks said to have been made by the Rev. Myers during the course of recent lectures. As the jury was closed with the four men during the greater part of the day, it was held certain that a great deal of business transpired. There was no intimation about the courthouse that the grand jury intended to bring formal charges against any official, or against any individual for that matter. Lack of intimation, however, could not be taken as a criterion that sensational charges were not thrown back and forth and that the jurors at a later date planned to delve further into what they had heard. Meantime, the public must wait on its regular report, not to be issued until after the first of the year. A court reporter, likewise sworn to secrecy, took stenographic notes of all the testimony that was giv- SUDDEN DEATH OF FORMER CITIZEN Funeral services for Edwin T.
