SAN JOSE, Jan. 12.—Speeders beware— Police Judge Percy O'Conner has a brand new cure for auto drivers who use city streets for speedways. His plan is to sentence speeders regardless of their position in society or business life to become artists. He will give them a chance to exercise their artistic ability in repainting the white traffic signs on the streets as they become obliterated by traffic. "If the situation requires I will adopt this plan," he said today. "The sight of a few prominent Californians down on their knees painting the signs they often disregard may have a salutory effect." RIG MISTAKE SIX INJUITED IN COUNTRY TRAFFIC Costa Mesa Family By Train at Irvine Crossing Sunday Six persons were injured fatally, in traffic accidents the week-end in Orange cording to reports available sheriff's office at Santa Clara. Unusual Demonstration of Interest at Initial Service Last Night That the Bulgin revival campaign is destined to have a far-reaching effect in Anaheim and Oranget-co was demonstrated last night when the large tent at Wilhelmina and Claudina-sts was filled to capacity for the initial service. At the event the annual service in Anahiem in many years. Dr. Bulgin, former first assistant of Dwight L. Moody and regarded by many as a peer of Billy Sunday, whose evangelistic campaigns all over the nation have repeatedly filled the largest halls and tabernacles in the largest cities, was all that his strongest admirers have said of him as a pulpit orator and revivalist. He is a profound and logical thinker and repeatedly aways his audience from laughter to tears. It was evident at last night that a striking feature of the campaign will be the music, the choir probably the largest ever assembled in Orange-co, showing the results of the few preliminary rehearsals. Only a few of the more than 300 chairs in choir loft were not filled by singers last night. Alvin Carter, nationally known soloist and choir conductor, and Roy Gourley, talented pianist and singer, also contributed solos and duets. A negro spiritualist, "Ain't I a Shame to Work on Sunday," made a tremendous hit with the vast audience. More such treats were promised. Tought they will give a number for Rotarians and kiwianians. A piano improvisation of his own on "The Little Church in the Wildwood" by Mr. Gourley was also warmly applauded. Mrs. O. Lee Shoemaker contributed an excellent solo from the soprano section of the choir. The singers come from all the Protestant churches of the city. Dr. Bulgin spoke last night on "What I Believe and Why." He said the best answer ever given Bob Ingersol was by an old colored mamma who washed for his mother at Ashville, N.C. She went to Ingersoll's hotel and told him: "It is just like God to have written the Bible and the Bible is just like God." "The best definition of God, made several hundred years ago by an old Scotch Presbyterian, is wisdom, power, holiness, justice and goodness," said the speaker. "You can't add or detract from that definition." "The Bible suits all advances of science. It makes a correct diagnosis and can affect a perfect cure for every social ill." The evangelist enliven his discourse with numerous funny BIG MISTAKE SAYS GOV. DAVIS TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 12—Gov. Jonathan M. Davis, and his son, Russell, were charged in information in city court this morning, filed by Tinkham Veale, county attorney of Shawnee co., with conspiracy and accepting a bribe in connection with alleged sales of pardons in Kansas. With Veale going out of office, a change in plans was made at the last moment and the governor will be arrested within a half hour. He will be arrested, as Governor of Kansas, the first in the history of the state. Col. A. M. Harvey and John Addington, the governor's personal attorneys will furnish the bond of both Davis and his son. The bonds are set at $1000 each. The warrant was to be served on the governor by L. J. Hurley, marshal of the city court, and Deputy C. C. Lyttle who will hold the governor in technical custody throut out the inaugural ceremonies of Ben S. Paulen. There is one charge against the governor and his son. In the language of the warrant, it accuses the governor of "accepting a bribe of $1250 thru his son, acting as agent, for the pardon of Freel W. Pollman." Under the Kansas statutes, conviction carries with it sentence of from one to eleven years in the state penitentiary or, a fine of from $200 to $1000 or both. Delay in the morning proceedings was caused by the rewriting and signing of the informations. The sensational incidents of the morning showed but little on the surface of the inaugural cereal.

"You can't add or detract from that definition." "The Bible suits all advances of science. It makes a correct diagnosis and can affect a perfect cure for every social ill." The evangelist enliven his discourse with numerous funny stories. He told one about a gray-haired mother who held up a stocking she was knitting and asked her 45-year-old maiden daughter if she would be satisfied with what Santa Claus could put in it. The old maid replied she would be pleased with what would fill a pair of socks. The evangelist went on to say that he had the most profound pity for an old maid and contempt for an old bachelor. L. P. Dunlap, well-known Anaheimer of the bachelor persuasion spoke out in meeting from his seat well upon front: "I beg your pardon." "Granted," said Bulgin. The crowd roared. Another bit of comedy was the story of a dark preacher who offered to answer any question if a $5 gold piece was placed on the collection plate. A colored barber planked down the gold piece and then addressed the person: "When we got to heaven now will we get our robes over our wings?" The parson replied: "What you should worry about is how you're going to get your hat over your horns." The evangelist announced his subject for tonight would be the Cross of Jesus Christ. Interest has been added to the revival campaign by opposition of certain Protestant ministers under the leadership of Dr. J. A. Geis-singer, who has been devoting most of his time to politics for several months since his support of Bill Stark, former political boss and ex-saloon keeper, was repudiated nearly two to one last spring's election. By far the biggest part of his membership already badly split on account of his political activities, was at the revival tabernacle fast night despite the fact he had embassized (Continued on Page Three) LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY THE ORANGE COUNTY Plain Dealer FULL REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE—FIRST LEASED WIRE IN ANAHEIM Anaheim, California, Monday, January 12, 1925 HURT .

Fullerton with 22 cars, Placentia with 21 and Anaheim with 18 were the leaders, as usual, but Olive shipped 11, LaHabra, including Bastanchury ranch 5 and Yorba Linda 5. Garden Grove has few navels, shipping only 14 cars of miscellaneous varieties, including navets, at last season. It will not start shipping branges again until March 15. Optimism is growing over the frost situation. La Habra now puts its maximum camage at not over 10 per cent, and Yorba Linda declares damage trifling. The latter is a lemon growing district at that.

DOMDSTEN Only Miracle That Many Frisco Officials Were Not Slaughtered SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12—Every police agency in San Francisco was engaged today in a hunt for a tall man dressed in black who is believed to have planted the picnic acid bomb which exploded in the hallway of police headquarters. He was seen leaving the telephone booth in which the bomb was planted a few moments before it exploded by Police Captain John Lackman. That and the slender clue furnished by fragments of a bottle believed to have contained the acid in the bomb which bore the label of a local drug store, were the basis of the police investigation but the motive of the bomber remained shrouded in mystery. Only the fact that the rank and file of the detective bureau arrived on time and the other officials were late prevented a loss of life. Around 10 o'clock Sunday morning, the corridor of the hall of justice is usually thronged with detectives and officials arriving for morning conferences. This apparently was known to the bomber who timed the death machine so that it would explode at 10:05. There was a minute or two delay and it exploded at 10:07. At that time the hall way was clear. The fact that Police Sergeant Wm. Malberg did not have a nickle saved his life. He paused at the booth to telephone a few seconds before the explosion and finding he had no change went to a nearby office to secure the necessary nickel. The bomb was placed within 25 feet of the door of Chief of Police Daniel O'Brien's office. The bomb work of an expert, was constructed of a length of two-inch pipe which had been filled with about 30 cartridges of 32 calibre so arranged to be detonated and scattered by a heavy charge of black powder. A dynamite cap was set off by ythe picnic acid, causing the powder charge to explode. The effect was to spray the entire corridor with death and few would have escaped had the hallway been filled. The explosion tore a hole thru the heavy wall of the building, wrecked the telephone booth, shattered all of the glass in the corridor, wrecked a steam radiator and spattered the walls with lead.
