SECOND FINANCE COMMISSION WILL OBEY REQUEST Highway Board Attend Meeting of Senate's Revenue Committee SACRAMENTO, April 5—Members of the state highway commission intend to obey the request of the statute that they attend a Today Anniversary Of Pole’s Finding WASHINGTON, April 6—Sixteen years ago, April 6, 1900, Admiral Robert E. Peary lashed his dogs across the ice Polar plateau to 90 degrees north and planted the American flag at the North Pole. After 16 years of inactivity the government has again launched a polar expedition, this time in search of land between the Polo and Alaska. Perry found no evidence at the Pole that Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who claimed to have found the Pole before him, had been there. Curiously enough, Cook today starts serving a sentence in Leavenworth for alleged oil stock frauds. PROSECUTION MEXICAN HIT BY TRAIN PASSES C. J. Parro of Richfield, Injured Fatally Early Today Joaquin Parro, an elderly Mexican living at Richfield, was struck this morning by a west-bound Santa Fe freight train while walking down the tracks at REQUEST Highway Board Attend Meeting of Senate's Revenue Committee SACRAMENTO, April 6—Members of the state highway commission intend to obey the request of the seize that they attend a meeting of the committee on revenues and taxation and furnish a program of proposer expenditures for the next two years, it was indicated today. Sen. Arthur H. Breed of Piedmont, author of the one-cent gasoline tax increase proposal, stated today he had received promises from members of the commission that they would attend the committee meeting tonight. Failure of the commissioners to do this would result in their being subpoenaed by the senate, it is declared. Highway financing remains the big problem before the legislature. The tentative date set for sine die adjournment has been moved to April 24, due to the delay that accompanied passage of the biennial budget and the fight over the highway situation. Allocation of the funds which the highway commission declares will be necessary to carry on its program of construction for the next two years will be the principal topic of discussion at the revenue and taxation committee meeting tonight. Members of the senate advocating this plan of road construction financing will insist that the highway commission produce its program upon which the request for $20,000,000 for new construction work is based. With this information in hand, an attempt will be made to amend the gasoline tax increase bill to specify the amounts to be expended on each road in the highway system. Despite the objections of Governor Richardson, who declares that it would result in "pork barrel politics," such a move seems inevitable. Opposition to the breed gasoline tax increase has crystallized in the senate along two lines: first, those members who are opposed to the tax because of the principle involved and, second, those demanding an allocation of any additional funds made available for highway constructions. Indications of a similar alignment in the assembly is seen in the statement issued by assemblyman Albert Rosenshine of San Francisco who declared himself opposed to any plan of giving the highway commission more money until it has shown the necessity. PROSECUTION OPENS FIGHT IN S.F. State To Try to Prove Dorothy Sane, As She Claims SAN FRANCISCO, April 6—The state will this afternoon open its fight to prove Dorothy Ellingson sane, so she may stand trial for killing her mother. Defense counsel rested their case at 11:40 a.m., after which a recess was taken until 2:30 o'clock at which time Mrs. Katherine Suillivan will be the prosecution's first witness. SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 —The navy today lured the curious from Dorothy Ellingson's trial. With 10,000 bluejackets parading the streets of San Francisco, court opened in the insanity hearing of the 17-year-old matricide without the crowd which has hitherto packed the room. There were many avant seats when Judge Harold Louderback recessed the first chosen murder jury for another week and called the insanity jury to the box. Dr. Jau Don Ball, chief defense alienist, was cross examined by Dep. Dist. Atty. Skillin. He reiterated his former testimony that Dorothy was insane, "not criminally so, but medically unbalancer," he said. The jazz girl appeared refreshed and strengthened by a quiet week-end spent in her cell. SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 —Dorothy Ellingson, youthful matricide, today prepared to resist her attorney's efforts to prove her insane. Joaquin Parro, an elderly Mexican living at Richfield, was struck this morning by a westbound Santa Fe freight train while walking down the tracks at Atwood, and was fatally injured. He was taken to the office of Dr. Kay in Placentia, where he died while receiving surgical attention. His injuries included a broken leg, broken arm, a broken hip, several fractured ribs, and a fractured skull. He evidently did not hear the train, it is said. The train was in charge of Conductor Duncan, who, with the crew, will be witnesses at the inquest. The body is at the Backs, Terry & Campbell parlors. Meanwhile an effort is being made to reach Conductor Duncan and the train crew that an hour for the inquest may be set. Deceased is serviced by a son, Andrew, near Richfield, with whom he resided. GIVES UP AFTER SHOOTING FLANCE GREENWICH, Conn., April 6—After nervously pacing before the police station, James A. Mahoney, British war veteran and now a New York draftsmans, entered and flung down a revolver and three loaded cartridges on Captain Flanagans desk. "There's the whole story," he announced abruptly. "I've done it. I've just shot my sweet-heart down the road." Mahoney was handcuffed and officers attempted to get additional details. Altho appearing in full possession of his faculties, he would only say: "I brought her up to Greenwich to shoot her. That's enough. No one will ever know why." Led by Mahoney the police came upon the body of Deatrice Donnelly, 24, attractive secretary to an American Express Co. executive. VON HINDENBURG RESTS ON LAURELS BERLIN, April 6—Former Field Marshal von Hindenberg prefers to rest on his laurels as world war hero of Germany instead of entering the uncertain turbulence of politics as a candidate for the presidency of the republic.

Indications of a similar alignment in the assembly is seen in the statement issued by assemblyman Albert Rosenshine of San Francisco who declared himself opposed to any plan of giving the highway commission more money until it has shown the necessity for funds. The war between the dairymen and oleomargarine manufacturers over the rip酬 to tax the margarine interests two cents a pound on their product, was to be continued in the senate this week. That the bill will be passed seems likely as a result of the overwhelming defeat of the margarine supporters in attempting to amend the teeth out of the measure last week. The manufacturers have threatened a referendum if the bill becomes a law. Tonight the assembly ways and means committee will hold a public hearing on bills intended to carry out the report of the California debris commission. This report proposes the expenditure of some $17,500,000 in reclamation work which would be divided between the state, federal government and the land owners. At the same time, assemblyman Harold Cloudman of Berkeley will present his resolution calling for a legislative investigation of the feasibility of his plan for reviving hydraulic gold mining in the state. Claudman's project involves the use of centrigugal pufs, by draculic miners, which would damp the slit from the river beds onto the lowlands, thereby enriching the soil and raising the levels of the lands. The plan has been pronounced one of the greatest proposals that ever jailed before him by the governor and has the approval of a number of prominent engineers. It would permit the extraction of millions of dollars in gold from California's hills, which was stopped in the early 80's because of damage to farm lands. Dr. E. Franklin and Jennie A.

The jazz girl appeared refreshed and strengthened by a quiet week-end spent in her cell. SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. — Dorothy Ellingson, youthful matriide, today prepared to resist her attorney's efforts to prove her insane. Determined to block the defense move if possible, the jazz girl reiterated her former declaration that she is mentally sound and wants the insanity hearing ended. "I'm going to make them listen to me. Why should everyone ignore me completely in this. I'm not crazy and I'm going to say in court if I have to jump right up during everything," Dorothy said. Should the case proceed as scheduled, the issue of the girl's mental condition should be in the jury's hands by Thursday. The defense was to close its case after cross examination of Dr. Jau Don Ball, alienist, who Friday declared Dorothy insane. But the red-haired mother slayer thinks differently. "They can't find me insane if they give a true decision," she declared. "The whole thing makes me indignant. They've never taken me into their plans at all. I never knew until the thing was switched from the murder trial to an insanity hearing that they were thinking of such a thing." "What I want is to stop this at once and let me face the fury on the murder charge. I have confessed my deed. I am willing to be punished. Why can't they let it go at that instead of trying to prove me crazy when I'm not." The state's argument that Dorothy is not deranged will be based largely on the testimony of Dr. Joseph Catton, alienist, Policemen and jail matrons who have come in contact with her will also be questioned.

VON HINDENBURG RESTS ON LAURELS BERLIN, April 6—Former Field Marshal von Hindenberg prefers to rest on his laurels as world war hero of Germany instead of entering the uncertain turbulence of politics as a candidate for the presidency of the republic. The general, hailed as a native savior for halting the Russian invasion at Tannenburg in the early days of the war, is disinclined to accept the nomination which parties of the right-wing would offer him. This information was conveyed to leaders of the so-called "Empire bloc", today, altho it did not come in the form of a definite refusal from Hindenberg. Newed nomination of Jarres who led first poll, is anticipated 10,000 Navy Men March in Frisco SAN FRANCISCO, April 6 — The U. S. Navy was on show here today following impressive entrance into the Golden Gate yesterday of the Grand Fleet of 145 vessels. This morning 10,000 officers and men paraded the street from the ferry to the civic center, in a line three miles long. Bluejackets will be carried free on street cars while here the first time any American citizen has extended such hospitality, if so said. "We are bringing to San Francisco clico the greatest naval force ever assembled and commanded on the high seas by an American admiral," declared Admiral Robert E. Coontz, fleet commander. And we start from here on the most extensive maneuvers ever attempted in the history of our country." The fleet visit, Admiral Coontz said, stressed the need of a base on San Francisco bay. WASHINGTON — The Nation at Disabled Soldiers' League today was barred "from mail by the postoffice department on the ground that it is a concern engaged in obtaining money through the malls under false pretenses."

Nothing much can be predicted now about the chances of the Cleveland Indians in the American League pennant race. We're not figuring on being sure pennant winners but we are shooting at the first division because we feel we are too good a club to be in the second division. The team was a disappointment last year for reasons that are well known. We had a lot of bad breaks and several players did not live up to their real form. I look for them to come back this year. We have a strong hitting club but we have been having trouble with a spotty defense. I think the infield will be a lot better this year, the outfield is not bad. All depends upon the pitching. SECOND TRIAL OF WHEELER TUESDAY Former Clerk Charged With Receiving Stolen Gov't Loot The second trial of Charles R. Wheeler, former registry clerk at the local postoffice and declared by former associate clerks to have been implicated in the $23,000 robbery of December, 1923, will CLEAR SKIES FOLLOW STORMS LOS ANGELES, April 6—Rain clouds gave way to clear skies in most sections of So. Calif., today, following a week end of heavy rains. The storm, which reached historic proportions in some districts, has definitely passed, the weather bureau reported and fair weather was promised by tonight or tomorrow for the territory east of the mountains. Cloudy weather still prevailed along the coast. Total damage from the storm will not exceed $200,000, it was estimated today, the losses resulting largely from flooded railway and interurban roadbeds. The damage was offset by benefits to the southwest's crops and water supply, which are estimable. Officials of the So. Calif. Edison Co. said the storm had assured a plentiful water supply for southland farms and cities. Rainfall in inches: Last St'm S'a'n S'a'n Los Angeles 1.38 6.45 5.50 Mt.

The latter reported .69 of an inch for the 48 mours ending this morning. As on other occasions, however, owing to the spottiness of the storms, the Raymond Nebunger ranch estimated a full inch of rain, putting the district's aggregate well over 7.00 inches. Last year, at this time, according to the ass'n, the total was 8.19. A. S. Bradford of Placentia, reported 1.05 for the two days and the Yorba Linda Citrus Ass'n.76. The latter's season's total is 7.07 against 8.74 last year. The rainfall of the Fullerton and La Habra districts did not differ a great deal from that of the rest of Northern Orange Co., although certain sources have Fullerton one or two more inches more than Anaheim. Snowfalls in the San Bernarino mountains, while inclined to be less as warmer weather approaches, were again considerable. If the county's precipitation can be judged from that of Los Angeles, the April rainfall is running far ahead of the average April which in the 46 years ending in 1924 has been .88. In April, 1923, the fall was 1.97 inches. A Class Ad will bring you results. J. A. Chitty for orange trees, 204 Bush shone 671-M.-Adr. M. R. Wildman, Dentist, F. & M. Building, Fullerton. Phone 352.

The cabinet still has to approve the plan which, if adopted, will be laid before parliament tomorrow. • Election of former President Alexandre Millerand to the senate from the department of the Seine was the outstanding political event of the week. Politicians regard the return of Millerand as a sign that the tide of political fortune is turning against the government.
