BOOST PENSION ROLLS $161,222 WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—An omnibus pension bill increases the pension rolls by $161,220 a year, was passed today by the house and sent to the senate. About $00 widows, dependent children and civil war veterans previously denied pensions, are beneficiaries of the legislation. Increases in pensions of $10, $15 and $20 a month, are allowed in individual cases. SEEK BELATED JUSTICE WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—One thousand and sixteen disabled world war veterans today hammered on the doors of congress for belated justice. This battalion of cripples, with their hundreds of war decorations, from all the allied governments, but little money for food or medicine, sent a delegation to plea for enactment of the Bursum bill, granting regular retirement pay to disabled emergency army officers. All other officers who served in the world war have long since been granted this compensation as a reward for their wounds. This handful volunteered receive emergency commissions, served then the war and then were dropped from the rolls alone, are exempted. As a result of the plea, Sen. Buruma, Republican of New Mexico announced, would demand consideration of the relief bill in the Senate at the "first opportunity." He predicted its enactment at this session of congress. The bill passed the senate two years ago, but failed in the house thru a legislative jam. The total cost of the bill, Buruma said, would be about $600,000 a year, with the amount decreased annually because of deaths. This would give each wounded officer a pension of from BREA, Jan. 9.—(Spl.)—Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hurst of 132 South Madrona-ave entertained 35 of their relatives on New Year's day with a big turkey, five chickens and all the dressing, gravy, cranberry sauce, mince pies and everything that goes to make a delicious New Year's dinner.

Don't ask the business man. He is probably prejudiced and anyway he never did have quite enough business, whether he heads the firm with a palace on the Shanghai bund or has a little godown on a side street. Ask the captain of foreign ships or ask the little Chinese merchant who sells cotton goods by the square inch mostly to serve as patches and occasionally sells a bolt when the sweet potatoes come in. Ask the Chinese employee of a foreign firm. Captains of foreign vessels are homeward bound without cargo. Cargo for America and England comes down the rivers, from the Yangtze valley largely—cotton for Japan's mills, wood nut oil for American varnishes and raw materials by the thousand junkloads for Chinese industries, large and small. The junks are hanging soldiers or lying along shore now, idle and earning nothing. The same is true of the small Chinese steamers. Stevedores are handling war supplies. Except for the foreign craft, traffic is at a standstill on the great waterway and foreign craft cannot gather by mere handfuls, the commodities that go down in junks. Nor can foreign craft stop at the village of a dozen houses and throw off five gallons of kerosene and two bolts or cotton colth from Osaka or Manchester. The piece goods trade, the business that probably more than any other built the Shanghai bund, is at a standstill. Ships may bring it in, but trains and junks cannot take out the cotton print. The Chinese want the cotton print and some of them can still buy it. Others can't. The soldier of the republic has called and taken the rice and the mule. There will be many family gatherings at the coming New Year with the hard working Chinese housewife wearing last year's trousers. British piece goods go up the river as far as they can go. Mrs. Erma Tremaine of Long Beach is visiting relatives in Brea this week. Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Russell and Little daughter Roberta, spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Russell and family in Long Beach. Mr. and Mrs. F. A.

There will be many family gatherings at the coming New Year with the hard working Chinese housewife wearing last year's trousers. British piece goods go up the river as far as they can go by craft of any size, then by mule and on into she mountains on poles towed by coolles. That is in normal times. Just now the gay prints are in Shanghai and Tientsin godowns. There is normally a good American automobile business in China. Today there is none. The prospective purchaser has his money in foreign banks that are not likely to be looted, by defeated soldiers or molested by the government that is putting down a rebellion. No Chinese is going to buy a car and have it commandeered. Cars are being commandeered in every northern city every day. The militarist must go to the train in a car and his messages must be carried by motors. SISTER OF JOHN D. DIES IN CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, Jan., 9.—Mrs. Mary Ann Rudd, 82, sister of John D. Rockefeller, was dead at the home of her son, Frank H. Rudd, today. Death last night ended an illness of nearly fifteen years. Funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.

Thomas, as administrator of the estate of Annie E. Sterner, was pressing his suit against C. B. Starner on a $500 note—in Superior Judge F. C. Drumm's court at Santa Ana today. The defendant, a brother of the deceased, claims his sister sought to borrow $500 but was unable to do so. In order to help her he gave her a $500 note and told her to see if she could not collect some money on it, his defense maintains. The money was not paid back to him, he claims, and instead, it is his misfortune to be defendant in a suit to make him pay the sum over again, after he had given the first amount merely as an assistance.
