Nj NOMINATE
Platform Declares Chief Executive
Has Profound Comprehension of
Science of Government
and Deep Sympathy

HARRISBURG, Pa, June 16.-The
Republican state convention met here
today and nominated the following
ticket to be voted for in November:
Auditor general, Arthur e, Sisson,
Erie.
State treasurer, ex-State Senator
jeremiah q. Stober, Lancaster.
Associate justice of the supreme
court, Judge Robert Won Moschzisker,
Philadelphia.
The candidates named were slated
by the state organization, of Which
United States Senator Penrose is the
head. The platform adopted by the
convention, contains a warm indorse-
ment of President Taft.
president Taft's profound knoWl-
edge" it says, ''of the science of gov
eminent, his deep human sympathy,
his conceded love of justice and ap-
probation of the real needs of a pros
porous and progressive people, will en-
able him to carry forward in his own
way the great policies of the Roose-
Welt administration, with which he was
canspicuously identified, and it may
we'll be expected that under his wise
leadership those policies will be de-
veloped and such additional ones adj
opted as will make real and effective
the administration demand for equal
ity of right and opportunity at home
and that respect and those privileges
abroad which are accorded to the
most favored nation"

waiting more than an hour Justice

stated by a detective who had investi-

SACRAMENTO, June 16.-Suryeyor-
General Kingsbury sent a deed to
Washington Monday that is of the
greatest interest and Importance to
thousands of settlers all over Cali

For seventeen years the land office

mise:
The question Of the lands received
before 1877 is to be left to the courts
to decide, the federal government to
sue the state. The acreage involved
is 1865. The rest Of the land claimed
by the federal government was de-
sired in detail by the Washington land
office, and after checking it up here it
was found that the state owed the ma
tional government 1900 acres. a pat
ent for that amount is now on it's way
to Washington.
The Office in Washington will at once
take up the matter, and beginning
with the oldest application for pat
ents will issue the same to the lands
which have been held up since 1892
awaiting settlement of the dispute be
tween the state and the federal gov
eminent.
The land covered by the states pat
ent for 10000 acres is all in the CleVe-
land forest reserve, in San Bernardino

that there is anything significant in
their departure.

building. frustrated, it is believed by
a deputy constable who placed Simp-
son under arrest on a charge of em-
bezzlement, an attempt at suicide by
the accused man.
The hint that Simpsons pockets
should be rifled was made to Deputy
Constable e. L. Roberts OF justice
Iing's court by Marco Holman, vice
president of the Merchants National
bank, to whom Simpson had gone
after his arrest for the purpose OF ar
ranging bonds for his release. Ac-
cording to the officer, a number OF
globules, supposed to contain poison,
were taken from simpsons pockets
and thrown away.
simpson was arrested on a complaint
sworn to before w. ]. Ford, deputy
district attorney, charging him with
the embezzlement of $500 from Mrs
Margarita Eberle in September of last
year. Mrs. Eberle told the deputy she
had mortgaged some property through
Simpson for $500. Later, wishing TO
increase the loan, she executed a sec
ond mortgage for $1,000, taking $500 of
with Simpson to be used in paying
the first lien. The money, she alleges,
was never paid.
Other Irregularities Alleged
At the district attorneys office it
was stated that complaints have been
coming in for the past four months
concerning the manner in which Simp-
son has conducted business, especially
with reference to the collection of
rents, the money, it is said, having
been kept by Simpson, while checks
drawn on banks in which he had no
funds were given to the persons to
whom the collections were due.
The total Indebtedness of Simpson
in this regard according to the COM
pilation of figures made in the district
attorneys office, will aggregate $4,000
or more, and Deputy Ford stated at
the time of the real estate brokers'
arraignment that he believed a num-
Der of other complaints would be is

Justice Ling, before whom Simpson
was arraigned, fixed his bonds at

Foremost Half Dozen In Studies Give
Addresses at Commencement Ex-
ercises Held in University
Methodist Church

Commencement exercises for the pre-
paratory school of the University of
Southern California were held last
evening at the University Methodist
church.
one Japanese student and one Chi
nese student were among the thirty
four students graduated, both being
graduated with honors. Tan Chang Lok
was among the first six students OF
the entire class.
The evening was given over to
speaking by the six students who had
stood the highest in their classes
throughout the year.
Charles f. Reiche delivered an ad-
dress on "The Call to Loyalty lie
spoke of the Importance of the indi-
viduaI citizen to the nation and, the
necessity for a high standard of cltl-
zenship. 1.-THE main trouble he said,
with the average American citizen Is
that he is laboring under the deluslon
that the government will run of its own
accord. The representatives of'the peo-
pie in positions of trust must not only
be elected by Them but they must be
nominated by them in order to be bona
fide representatives. There is too
much partianship and the best citizens
do not attend the primaries. The press
is also radically partisan and largely
controlled by the machine. The ma
1ority of the officials serve the machine
and not the people" He concluded
with an appeal to the loyalty of the
American citizen and expressed his be-
lief that ultimately reform would be
brought about
Girl AppIauded
Miss Anna Joyce Amis received en-
thusiastic applause for her brief re-
marks on what Is Miner" She spoke
of the little that wealth really means
and does toward genuine happiness
and concluded with praise for the beau
ties of nature and their influence for
good.
Tan Chang Lok, the Chinese boy who
won first place in the debate between
Los Angeles high school, University of
Southern California preparatory school,
Occidental academy and Polytechnic
high school, delivered his address on
1.-The Rise of China" He spoke OF
China as the one nation which has
stood placidly by and watched other
nations rise and fall for centuries. He
also referred to the ancient learning
and literature of the celestials, saying
that Korea and Japan were today
studying what his forefathers knew
hundreds of years ago.
He referred to the advantages taken
over China by nearly every civilized
nation and of how they had robbed her
of her best seaports and illegally OBJ
tanned concessions and franchises for
some of her finest resources. He con-
cluded by saying that to the United
States was the Orient looking, and that
a friendly alliance could only further
the interests of both nations.
The church was draped in flowers, a
large curtain being hung at the rear
with the numerals 1909 worked on it
in a floral design.
