Burglar Foiled AS
Victim Awakes

It was dark when F. Robinson
awoke last night from a sound
slumber in the safety of his home
at Third and He'll streets, but not
too dark to see that the safety
of the home had been violated by
large, poorly dressed Negro, who
was standing almost over Robin
sons bed.
Realizing that the victim Of his
burglary trip had awakened, the
Negro got under way rapidly, leav-
ing the house by the nearest exit
and showing no signs Of slowing
down for corners. Robinson got
off to a poor start, but managed
to keep the Negro in sight as he
raced down an alley.
The burglar had not taken any
thing with him, possibly forgetting
his intended loot in his hurry 70
leave those parts, but Robinson
reasoned the culprit should be ap-
pretended despite the poor success
of his venture.
But natural obstacle in the
alley intervened when Robinson
tripped, bruising both knees in the
fall. BY the time he had recovered
his equilibrium the only remaining
trace of the Negro was a rapidly
diminishing cloud of dust.
Robinson reported the attempted
burglary to the police department
and returned TO bed.

SACRAMENTO. April Soft the
voters of California are confused
over proposition No. 2 on the Spe-
cial election ballot May 3, they
may derive some consolation from
the fact that so were the state
legislature and Governor Rolph
Otherwise the measure might never
have been put up to the people
The act is entitled Preventing
Leasing of State Owned Tide or
Beach Lands for Mineral and Oil
Production" Because it is a refer
endum proposal and stated in neg
ative form, it has caused no end
of misunderstanding.
1t may be stated as follows:
Shall the state of California be
permitted 70 lease its beach lands
for the drilling of oil wells?"
The 1881 legislature enacted two
measures on this subject. Both
were signed by Governor Rolph.
They were identical, except that
the first gave the director of fl
nance power to lease tidelands for
beach drilling, and the second took
away that power.
Inasmuch as the measure re-
moving this power was signed by
the governor last, 1t was the one
that became law. Referendum pc
titions were signed, and the prop
oSition referred to the voters.
Bert B. Snyder, Santa Cruz, and
William @. Bonelli, Los Angeles,
both assemblymen, contended in
their argument for the PROPOSE
tion that it is designed to save
the beaches" Of California from oil
drilling.
They pointed TO the law enacted
in 1929 prohibiting the issuance of
any new permits for tideland oil
drilling, and insisted that attempts
have been made ever since to de-
feat the purpose of this law. The
first measure adopted in 1881 was
one of these attempts, they asserted
although il was discovered i'm
mediately and a corrective meas
ure passed the following day.
Mayor Elson G. Conrad and City
Attorney l.. w. Blodget Of Hunt
ington Beach were authors of the
official argument against the prop
osition If the state could lease
the land from which millions Of
barrels Of oil are being drained
from adjoining property, they con-
tended. millions of dollars would
start flowing into the state treas
ury and case the taxpayers
burden"
Sponsors Of the referendum, it
was stated, wish to allow the di-
rector Of finance TO lease certain
proven oil lands at Huntington
Beach in Orange county. The ad-
joining acreage, they declared, is
controlled by one oil producer who

WASHINGTON, April 80. - If
you are in contact with athletic
heroes, YOU are no doubt aware
that most of them are very large

that amateur athletic heroes are

I strolled up to Ellsworth Vines,

Vines was just another schoolboy

tional tennis champion and
thoroughly important parsonage.
Knowing what a whale of diff
ference a few titles can make, l
was all prepared to have Master
Vines treat me after the manner
of Park avenue dowager greeting
a country cousin.
Imagine my surprise when I

homely Ellsworth of year ago.

changed my mind And you know,
I'm kinda glad I got beat a few
times. For while there, right be-
fore I'd go to make a shot, I'd find
myself thinking things like this:

ruined me. All that thinking about
how hot I was threw me off my
game and I wasn't worth shooting.
But those beatings I took from
Allison and all the rest knocked
all that stuff out of me. and my
games a whole lot better"
Ellsworth also said he was in a
hurry to get married and was go
ing to do that very thing just as
soon as the tennis season was over;
that he didn't plan to turn pro-
fessional save as a last resort
from starving" and would I mind
pardoning him while he stepped
out and was introduced to Mrs.
