In the following article, William
III. Lewis, general manager of the
Imperial Valley Finance Corpora
tion, tells of the trip which he made
in an Oakland Six over the one
time battlcfieids of Southern Cali
fornia.
4 Quoting the words of John Steven
McGroarty: California came into
the sisterhood of states violently, at
the mouth, of the cannon, with the
rattle of mystery and accompanied
by unfortunate, but as it would
seem unavoidable blood shed. - Yet
little is known of the eventful
places in which these battles were
fought. A party of us in an Oak.
land Six made circuitous trip Wis
iting the three battle fields of
Southern California.
History tells us that on the glor-
ious day Of July Z, 1916, Commo-
dore Sloat placed the stars and
stripes over Monterey and proclaim
ed California as territory of the
United States of America But he
reckoned without his hosts. Instead
of complacentiy accepting the SOW
creignty of the United States, the
native Californians resented the in
trusion and rebellion stirred their
souls.
Starts War
The armed forces of the United
States occupied California from
north to south, but these armed
forces were scattered groups of from
Il score to only few hundred men.
Commodore Stockton prepared a
program of occupation that led the
Amcricaps to believe. that the Cali
fornianst were incapable of showing
the least sign of resistance. One of
his aides, Lieutenant Gillespie, en-
forced such drastic police regula-
tions that the Californians, under
Serbulo Varela, on the night of
September 90 of that year attack
ed the adobe house in which Gil
lespie s men were quartered. This
was the torch that set the maga-
zine of war afire.
Capt. Jose Maria Flores was made
Commandante General of the revo-
lutionary Californians with Anton
10 GARLIC and Andres Pico next in
command.
Lieutenant Gillespie was ordered

There is quiet revolution going on
in England in the world of mems
fashions, it's outward and visible sign
just now being the restoration of tine
bowler hat. as Piccadilly calls the
Derby, to the place of honor it held
in pre-War days.
Up until recently there was a grad
ual falling off of formality in men s
dress, due to the influence of the war.
Now the FACTION has set in in favor
of formal dress. The first indication
was the gradual replacement of the
soft collar by the old fashioned stiff
linen collar. Next the soft shirt for
| evening wear, which few Britons
ever approved. disappeared, its place
being Sxen exclusively by the more

gusta and out ON the Winthrop road
about half way: He was returning
when he had seen an automobile COM
ing and, being nervous about this dan.
gerous curve, he had drawn well out.
Right behind 1t were two motorcycles
and they had appeared to him to be
going at q rapid rate OF speed.
After they had passed he pulled back
into the road and was proceeding on
his way when the officer drew up along
side of him and he stopped the car.
his license and had then asked II he
knew that his rear light was out. He
had replied that he did not. but that he
might be able to fix it. and had gone
around to the back to do SO. He had
asked the officers II they were not
travelling pretty fast on that road. and
at that the officer had gotten digni-
fed" After talking q moment with
his companion Grenier had told Will
liams that he could smell liquor on his
breath and that he would drive him
home.
Had Drink Of Beet Wine
The respondent admitted that he had
had a drink of beet wine that after
noon and that he believed 1t might be
on his breath at the time. He had
thought this to be perhaps q custom
with the officers to insure that a driver
with the smell Of liquor on his breath
but who was In no way under the In
euence of liquor. would not have any
difficulty. and SO had made no objec-
tions.
When they got in the garage his wife
had heard the men talking and had
come to the stairs. She had heard the
officer say something about driving on
the road while intoxicated and had de-
clared that no one should do so. They
had not offered the officers q drink Of
liquor.
Mrs. Williams stated that at supper
that evening her husband had been
perfectly normal. She had heard the
officers talking. and seeing that they
were officers had thought that her hus-
band had been in an accident with Some
drunken driver and had declared that
hey should not be on the road. She
had not accused her husband Of driv-
ing She Sar while under the influence
of liquor. She and her daughter Marie
had returned from the pictures but a
few minutes before that and she did
not believe that 4 was as late as the
officers had said.
Marie Williams sorroborated the
statements Of her mother and stated
that nothing was said by either of her
parents about giving the officers a
drink. as she was standing at the top
OF the stairs and would have heard
such an invitation
Mr.. Heath. who runs the restaura Mt

got to Williams homo about midnight
and that what he had testified about
being offered drink of liquor was
right.

kIWANIS CLUB ~
HAS. SPLENDID
PROGRAM MUSIC

The program for the regular meet
ing Of the Kiwanis Club at the Au-
gusta House, Thursday evening. was
furnished entirely by the member
ship and developed sons. exceptional
talent. There was no regular speak
err and after the nve-minute talks
on their own classifications by XII
wanians Blaine Owen and Frank j.
McArdIe, DIR. Warren b. Sanborn.
chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee, took the program in charge
and presented a musical melange.
which was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Owen, purchasing agent for
the Central Maine Power Company,
told his fellow members some in
tcresting things concerning the pro-
fession Of purchasing agent, which
is comparatively new. He said that
the factors which are always upper
most with men engaged in his line
of work were price. service and
quality.
AZ chief OF rates and schedules Of
the Public Utilities Commission, Mr..
McArdle had many interesting facts
to tell the Kiwanians in his allotted
five minutes, concerning the factors
involved in the making Of railroad
rates and tariffs.
That the Kiwanis Club has good
deal of musical talent was demon
strated by DR.. Sanborn. when he d.
rected the entertainment program,
following the luncheon. It was a
surprise to many OF the members
to learn that q program OF such high
calibre could be presented without
outside assistance.
Leo X. Andrews presided at the
piano and this young musician
proved himself an exceptional art
ist. DR.. Sapborn rendered q violin
solo and also accompanied the pian-
list for group singing by the club.
Colonel Keith Ryan rendered three
solos in his own inimitable manner.
Samuel Titcomb sang popular melo-
dies and played his own accompani-
tment.
The Kiwanis quartet entertained
with several selected numbers. This
quartet Is undoubtedly one of the
best com binations of mems voices In
the city and Is composed Of Keith
