Davis and his son will be arraigned Jan. 23. The date for their formal entering of pleas was set this afternoon immediately after the inaugural ceremonies for Governor Ben Paulen which formally made Davis a private citizen. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12. California's vote for President Calvin Coolidge and Vice-president-elect Chas. G. Dawes, were to be cast today. This ceremony and receipt of Governor Richardson's second biennial budget featured the program for the opening of the second week of the state legislature. The assembly was to meet today at 1:30 and adjourn to attend the meeting of the thirteen Republican electors who assembled at the capitol to formally record the state's presidential vote. Senate members were also to be present. It was expected that the budget would reach the legislators later in the day. It provides for expenditures of about $100,000,000 for the biennium, against expected receipts of from $102,000,000 to $104,000,000. An interesting bit of gossip in connection with the forthcoming budget was the report that Mrs. The king is dead! Hall the new king! Strangler Lewis, for three years hailed king of wrestlers, dead for a time as a wrestler and a new giant reigns in his stead. The king had been careful with his title for many months, dodging real contestants and risking the precious ornament only when it was known to be safe. The came "Big" Munn. What did this college giant know of wrestling? His great strength was nothing when confronted with science. So Strangler, the king, risked his title again. But this college giant brushed the king's science aside like a duck sheds gentle rain, and the king had risked once too many times. The upset to the champion will be a great thing for the wrestling game. Lewis and his smart manager, Billy Sandow, weat about the country building up one match after another that netted the champ and his manager for tunes but the people were paying for something that they were not getting, real championship contests. Lewis was dodging the real contenders. It is hoped that "Big" Munn will be a real sport, and give the real wrestlers a chance at the crown. Tommy Carter, I the boy who knocked the const lightweight crown off the brow of Johnny Adams, lost said crown to Aga Hudkins at Hollywood. Hudkins halls from Nebraska, the state that grows 'em tough. "Big" Munn, Joe Stecher and Pesecek the world's three greatest wrestlers, hall from the State Bill Bryan an made famous.

When Davis was thru he remained on the platform until the new governor had taken the oate and had completed his address. Then, with a few friends, he walked thru the crowd and went to his home. Gov. Davis and his son will be arraigned Jan. 23. The date for their formal entering of pleas was set this afternoon immediately after the inaugural ceremonies for Governor Ben Paulen which formally made Davis a private citizen. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 12.—"They are making a big mistake and a mighty bad move." This was the only comment today of Governor Jonathan M. Davis, regarding the indictment against him charging bribery and conspiracy which today awaited only his formal leaving of the office of governor for service. The warrants name both him and his son, Russell, alleged acceptor of the bribe which is charged was in return for the granting of a pardon by Davis. Deputy sheriffs plan to attend the inauguration ceremonies for Ben S. Paulen today and when the governor has turned over the affairs of his office they plan to serve the warrants. No governor of Kansas has ever been charged and his method was decided so that Davis wouldnor then hand of the law reach out for him. The arrest will only be technical as Governor Davis indicates today that he is prepared to make bond immediately. He declared again today that it was "all a frame up" and the "work of political enemies." The informations and warrants were prepared last night after an all-day conference between Tinkham Veale, Attorney General Griffiths, witnesses to the alleged bribery, and Paul N. Heintz, judge of the city court in which the information will be filed. Heintz at noon today succeeded Veale as prosecuting attorney of Shawnee-co, but Veale and his assistant, Paul H. Gaw, have been retained by the state as special prosecutors in the action against the governor and his son. It was at first planned to make the charge "soliciting and accepting a bribe" until it was found that there is no penalty under the Kansas law for soliciting a bribe. The charges are based on Russell Davis' alleged acceptance of $1250 when delivering a pardon from his father to a convicted forger. The man waiting for the pardon had witnesses listening in to the conversation he had with Russe, thru a telephone system, it is said. When Russell saw he was trapped, the alleging witnesses state he returned the money. Both Governor Davis and his son have decared that the executive knew nothing of the matter and that Russell "was trying to make a little money on the side." Tommy Carter, I the boy who knocked the const lightweight crown off the brow of Johnny Adams, lost said crown to Agudkins at Hollywood. Hudkins halls from Nebraska, the state that grows 'em tough. "Big Munn, Joe Stecher and Pessee the world's three greatest wrestlers, hall from the state Bill Bryan an made famous. Now comes Aca Hudkins, a mit slinger of no mean ability, for anyone that can flatten Carter has real class. It would be a great thing for the fight game if some unknown would come along and knock the crown off the Dempsey head Munn did the wrestling crown of Lewis. The people love a new hero. When one rules as long as Dempsey the fans lose interest in the game. The Dempsey crown is safe from the unknown as that chance never gets a chance. To get a chance with Dempsey one must build up a great drawing power Dempsey could draw $150,000 with most any reasonably known good man. It he would fight for such a figure and give every one a chance he would fight 10 times where he is fighting once now and in the long run he would make much more money than a present and he would be much more popular. Jack will get his if he gives the boys a "come on." Look at what Bull Firro almost did to him, and the Bull is a joke as a fighter Tommy Gibbons outran the champion at every angle of their fight Dempsey has dodged Wills for scare and has finally sidetracked him altogether. Jack Dempsey is a great fighter or but there are other great men in the world. All they want is a chance. Jack's demands keep the crown of heavyweights down as it is so hard to break in to real money in the heavyweight game. DENY RING LINKED WITH B. B. SCANDAL NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Public denial was made today by John A. Heydler, president of the National league, of a report that the name of Jimmy Ring, pitcher of the Philadelphia club, was linked with the baseball scandal which broke on the eve of the last series. It was charged that a complaint was lodged with Heydler against the performance of Rink against the Brooklyn club Sept. 1 last when he allowed 12 bases on balls. It was said that the complaint was made by John McGraw, but this was heatedly denied by officials of the Giants. Efforts to reach McGraw by telephone at his Pelham home resulted in the information that the service had been discontinued. There is always a lot of talk and all sorts of stories are circulated when things such as this occur in baseball." Heydler said HUGHES SURPRISES BERLIN DIPLOMATS BERLIN, Jan. 12.—Diplomatic circles here were surprised and puzzled by the resignation of Secy. of State Hughes at Washington. A dispatch from the London correspondent of "Montagapost." commenting on the Hughes resignation, said: "Kellogg's broad minded policy of increased world-wide activity opens a brighter prospect for the final settlement of the reparations and debts problems. 'Hughes' anti-Japanese, anti-soviet, anti-entanzlement policy has been a stumbling block to Anglo-American cordiality, would have isolated America and probably even driven it into war against Japan. "Coolidge was warned by Kelogg and Hoover and realized that America must either prepare for the next war or seek an alliance with England. Hughes' position was shaken for the first time when Borah was appointed chairman of the foreign relations committee which resulted in close political co-operation between Coolidge and Borah." DRY PROBE MAY REVEAL SENSATION LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12.—Samuel F. Rutter of San Francisco was scheduled to arrive here today to assist Los Angeles officials investigating sensational revelations brought to light as an offence of the murder of William Turpin, a California "thing of bootleggers" who was grove near Santa Barbara. The charges are based on Kellogg Davis' alleged acceptance of $1250 when delivering a pardon from his father to a convicted forger. The man waiting for the pardon had witnesses listening in to the conversation he had with Russe, thru a telephone system, it is said. When Russell saw he was trapped, the alleging witnesses state he returned the money. Both Governor Davis and his son have declared that the executive knew nothing of the matter and that Russell "was trying to make a little money on the side." BASES TALK ON BIBLE QUOTATIONS Rev. Fletcher Galloway, pastor of the Nazarene tabernacle, spoke yesterday morning from the subject, "What does it mean to be a Christian?" The sermon was entirely quotations from the Bible. More than 50 Bible quotations were used. Rev. Galloway made the statement at the outset: "The majority of men expect by some means or other to be finally saved but according to the Bible many will be disappointed. It is important, therefore, that we find what the Bible says on the subject." He said: "The reason that so many are running here and there after every new doctrine is because they he then proceeded with a numbe- relations bearing on the subject. A few of the following: Luke 13:2, "Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish"; Jno. 2:3, "Ye must be born again"; in Cor. 5:14, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away and behold all things have become new"; I Jno. 3:9, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin"; I Jno. 3:8, "He that commiteth sin is of the devil"; I Jno. 5:2, "By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments." The message was well received by a large attentive audience. J. A. Chitty for orange trees, 204 Bush; phone 671-M—Adv. It was going to like "Galloping Gallagher." It got everything that picture fax love and a whole lot of things they seldom get. A new star made his appearance at the United Theatre yesterday in a splendid Western picture "Trigger Finzers." You will be looking forward to this picture from now on, as he certainly made a decided hit yesterday. Baby Peggy was as sweet as ever in her latest comedy, "Stepping Some." This tiny starlet just seems to wind herself around the heart of everyone. This program will be shown again tonight. MUNN TO CHICAGO CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—Plans were launched here today to bring Wayne (Big) Munn, new heavyweight king of the mat, to Chicago to meet a prominent contender for the title. Allen Eustace of Wakefield Kan., and Stanislaus Zbyszko will grapple at the Colleum Wednesday day night and the winner, according to present plans, will meet Munn. Eustace is the favorite here for Wednesday night's setto and faux conside; him the logical opponent for Munn. LEWIS GOES HOME KANSAS CITY, Jan. 12. — En (Strangler) Lewis, who was seized ousely injured in the bout with Wayne (Big) Munn here Thursday day night, was able to leave hospital this morning. He was taken to his home in an ambulance. His physicians say rest in the only treatment for his injuries. APPLEBY WINNER NEW YORK, Jan. 12. — Edgar T. Appleby, international and national amateur 18.2 balk line bullard champion, today retains his eastern class A balk line title following his victory over Dr. Richard M.

WILLIAMS CALLS ANNUAL MEETING LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12 — What may prove to be one of the greatest "history making" sessions in the annals of the organization got under way here today, when Pres. Harry Williams called the annual meeting of the directors of the Pacific Coast Baseball League. Three important announcements expected to mark the gathering were as follows: 1. Sale of the Vernon Club by Ed Maler to H. William Lane, Salt Lake City franchise by Chicago and Salt Lake interests. 2. Purchase of Lane's Salt Lake City franchise by Chicago and Salt Lake interests. 3. The 1925 schedule. While William* Lane went so far today as to admit he might announce he had purchased the Vernon Club, declaring the deal was "as good as made," Walter Johnson, of the Washington Americans was busy in conference with various club owners, and he was said to be determined to purchase a coast club. George Weiss, owner of the New Haven club of the Eastern League, accompanied Johnson, and will be associated with him if Johnson is able to make a deal. Johnson, it was said, first sought to purchase Oakland. His second choice was given as Seattle and his third as Sacramento, providing Lane had bought Veron and there was no chance for him to bid on the Tigers. Lane declared the sale of his Salt Lake Club had been made but he had not received the money as yet. He said he would go to Long Beach tomorrow to arrange for training quarters for Salt Lake, and that the Bees would open the season with a week's play in Long Beach. Charles Graham of the San Francisco club was active in opposing the plan advocated by Cal Ewing of Oakland limiting the number of players on each club.

THIEF OF BAGDAD AT CALIFORNIA The cast of Douglas Fairbanks' new picture, "The Thief of Bagdad," which commences a four-day engagement at the California theatre today, represents every country in the world with the exception of Siam and Greenland, and one of the three extras who claimed to be from Iceland admitted having spent two years in Greenland. Being laid in an imaginary locale with tanceful settings and environment, it was essential that this picture include as many bizare personalities as possible. Mere types would not answer this need for, strangely enough, every principal character in the production is what casting directors call "an acting part." This means that actual histrionic ability was as much a requirement as unusual cast of feature. Doug is said to have spared no expense in finding the right people and the result is as polyglot a gathering of people as ever embarked upon enterprise. First of all there is an Irish director, Raoul Walsh. This was a good start, for it required real Irish fighting qualities to control the entire or inverse temperament that raged very wildly at times. The leading woman was Julanne Johnston, a Swedish girl, recruited from the ranks of the Morgan troupe of dancers. The Mongol slave, a part that required emotional subtiet and balance, was played by Anna May Wong, a Chinese girl, educated in America. Her Chinese name is Lew Wong Song, and means two yellow willows. When the picture was being filmed, Miss Wong almost walked out on her job because an enthusiastic press agent misunderstood the translation of her name and published it as "two yelling widows." SPECIAL MUSICAL SCENIC PRELUDE For the run of Douglas banks in "The Thief of Baghdad" which starts at the California day and will continue for days, the management has arranged another of the novelty prises that have become so far lar with patrons of Anah beautiful playhouse.
