Maury I. Diggs, was convicted, start
ed this morning in the United States
district court before Judge William G.
Van Fleet.
The defendant was accompanied by
his brother, and the court room was
occupied almost wholly by the venire
from whom the jury will be chosen.
Caminetti was represented by Mar
shall N. Woodwork, as chief counsel.
Robert T. Devlin, Nathan Coghlan
and S. Luke Howe Of Sacramento. AS
in the Diggs case, Judge Van Fleet
refused to entertain a motion for
change Of venue to Sacramento. At
the table with counsel for the de-
fense also sat Charles B. Harris, an
attorney Of Sacramento, who is under
Indictment charged with subornation |
of perjury, returned jointly against !
him and his client Diggs. In the
Diggs trial Nellie Barton, Sacramento
girl, testified that Diggs and Harris
drilled her in testimony in which tes-
timony she in turn was to coach Mar
sha Warrington.
Harris also asked for a change Of
venue to Sacramento, representing
that he viii call as character witnesses
many Sacramentans prominent in Of
fetal and civic life.
When the government objected that
transfer of the case would mean
DELAY until April, 1914, Marshal Wood
worth argued from the federal stat
utes that It lay in the discretion Of
the court to call a special session at
Sacramento Immediately following the
Caminetti trial, or when it should
choose Judge Van Fleet was suffi-
ciently impressed to take the matter
under advisement. The work of Sc
lecting jury went forward rapidly.

OPTIC AND THEATER PEOPLE
HIGHLY coMPLIMENTED FOR
ENTERPRISE AND klNDLINEss
SHOWN IN SCHEME
CITIZEN PRAISES
PLAN MEETS WITH INSTANT APP
PRoVAL OF BETTER CLASS OF
PEOPLE; AND KIDS? THEY'RE
JUST CRAZY ABOUT 1T

Although it was distinctly stated in
the story announcing Kids Matinee
at the Photoplay theater Saturday, un-
der the joint auspices of the theater
management and the Optic, that no
tickets to this event would be given
out until Saturday, yet scattering
throng Of youngsters asked for tick
cts at the Optic office tnis morning.
The way in which the scheme has
taken is far beyond the expectations
of the Optic staff and the theater
managers and there is no doubt but
that the crowd to be accommodated
will be far larger than had been an
ticipated.
The original offer stands, however
every kid can get a ticket if he is
under IA and complies with the other
requirement. that Of cleanliness, and
shows will be run until the last ticket
has been taken in at the door and
every joy-hungry youngster has had
chance to see a fine show free.
This costs some money, of course,
but the Optic and the theater people
have agreed to divide the expense and
the kids should worry
It's a good time to do something
nice for the youngsters, anyway
though when you come to think of il,
not So much better IMAM ANY otheri
time. However that may be, the kids
will have a good time on this occa-
sion no matter what happens other
wise.
There are no strings on this offer
Nobody is asked to get any subscrip-
tions for the paper, nobody is urged
to send in stamps or money, nothing
is desired except that the kiddies
enjoy themselves, The Optic is going
to do all that it can 10 make the
boys and girls happy and the theater
management is doing all it can for
the same thing. Nobody will make
anything out of it, nobody wants any
thing out of it, not even thanks Just
good will is all that's hoped for and
we are not going to ask for that
This day is to be the Kids Own.
1t is for the kids, not for the grown
ups. There's to be a special program
Of pictures suited especially to chill
dren anyway and no grownyups need
attempt to get into the theater for
they will only fail. Just between you
and us, children, they're a nuisance
anyway, always breaking in when we
are enjoying picture and telling us
things about lights and effects and
such, that we don't care anything for
at all.
So this time they are going to have
to wait outside or stay at home just
as they please. They will not get in.
No, sir, not if they even want to pay
their way. This is not pay party.
Remember, Photoplay theater, Sat
Eurday at 2:So; tickets at the Optic
after 1880 that morning. Clean kids
not over IA,
Come along, boys and girls; let's
have one real good time before we die
anyhow

TO ELIMINATE the PRAIRIE DOG
State College Professor Gives Simple Direc
tiOns.Soon Time To Begin.


1.-THE poisoning of prairie dogs, in or
der to be most efficient, should be con.
Quoted during winter or early spring,
for at this time their ordinary food is
scarce or even entirely absent" says
Prof. II. @. SEVERN, entomologist at
the State College. He gives the follow.
ing method:
Dissolve one and one half ounces of
stryohnia sulphste in two and one half
gallons of water that is being heated in
q closed receptacle. After the poison
has been dissolved, add a bushel OF
grain and allow this to simmer until
the moisture is entirely taken up by
the grain, or after it has simmered for
time, allow it to remain over night in
the receptacle so that the moisture
may be absorbed. 1t is now ready for
distribution.
Care should be taken to distribute
this poisoned grain only on warm days,
preferably after storm, for it is on
such days during the winter and early
spring that the dogs are especially like
~ to come out Of their burrows. A half
tesepoonful OF the grain scattered
around the outside Of each burrow
should be sufficient for each occupied
hole. Make this distribution late in
the day or early in the morning 80 that
