I Her Employer White-Logan fSuptiols Retail Recent Sensation The hushed whisper of gossip in a country town blared into attdi- 'J' aeennea to make further comment. FAMILY PROTESTS From Philadelphia came news 016 ffect members of tne Logan family simply wild" about the marriage. Three months ago, according to reports, Mr.

Logan, father of the girl, and president of the American Antl-vivlsection Society, came to this city and undertook to persuade his daughter to return with him to Philadelphia. Mr. Logan was reported to have said that Dr. White was exercising hypnotic Influence over the young woman to keep her here. Efforts to persuade her to return to the Quaker City proved futile, and the wedding took place shortly afterward.

Mayor Dimmick of Ventura, and E. O. Black, a Ventura grocer, were witnesses at the ceremony. The wedding is of unusual significance because of the sensa tional developments which re- suited from the death of the first Mrs. White in September, last.

year Mrs. White was ill but a short time. and immediately after her death Alonzo D. Hitchcock, an attorney representing her mother. Mrs.

Carrie A. Rossman of Yonk-er, N. demanded that an official ajitopsy be performed to determine the real cause of death. POST MORTEM HELD Mrs. Rossman declared that during her daughter's Illness Dr.

White refused to admit her to the house ad was hostile to a physician sent there by her to attend the sick woman. Dr. White asserted that his wife was suffering from tumor of the brain.

Iam OL' BOOTLEGGER lie Has Aro Blankets in Jail 'n He Gets Cold Orange County Sheriff is Ashing for Help Wants Government to Get Some More Cover An appeal was made yesinrday to V. S.

Atty. Burke from the Sheriff of Orange county askin? that some arrangements bo en tered into whereby the eovern-ment might furnish blanket for bootleggers who hare been sent to the Xanti Ana Jail by the Icon: i-V'iftn! court g. Ill supply of fifty-three blank, ets him been used up and the oner continue to pour ir. master has been referred to V. S.

Marshal Eit-tel for adjustment. With the local County Jail so full of bootleggers that their feet stick out of the windows, the local courts have been sending violators of the liquor laws to Ana. But the Jail there Is full to overflowing and the supply of blankets Is not equal to the demand. Some figures obtained yesterday indicate congestion of the Federal courts through prosecutions for violation of the constitutional amendment and the Volstead law. At the session of L.

S. District Judge Bledsoe's court Monday there were 12 cases called for setting, fifty-two for arraignment and plea, and of that number only eight pleaded guilty. That means that 236 liquor cases were called in the various proceedings in a single afternoon. With the new plan of filing Information direct in liquor prosecutions there has been a big reduction in the expense connected with the preliminary hearings of the accused before U. 8.

Commissioner Long, and the result from that angle has been that the commissioner, who, up to the beginning of the new rule, had a constant stream of a i nations. Is now almost out of a Job. Those who are able to give bond on the Informations are not worrying about a hearing before a Jury, it seems, but there are many instances where the accused are in Jail and would plead guilty if they knew what evidence the government had against them. This could only be had by a preliminary examination before the commissioner. So, while the new arrangement Is a good thing for the prosecution from a financial standpoint, it Is a burden in many Instances on the defendants.

Another feature of the innovation is that It has deprived a score or more of the local police of an opportunity to get extra fees. 500 MORE POLICE TO BE ASKED Commissioners and Chief Decide to Send Request to City Council Chief of Police Oaks snd Police Commissioners De Coo and De la Monte yesterday announced that they will request that the City Council include in the budget for the fiscal year, beginning July 1. next, an appropriation for 500 additional policemen, and the Chief and the commissioners will personally appeal to the Council to increase the The estimate sent to the budget committee bv former Chief Everlngton did not Include appropriations for more policemen, and at a conference yesterday the Chief and the commissioners decided to at once revise the former estimate and send a supplementary estimate which will include the request for at least 600 additional men. Mother of Roof Company's Head Dies Suddenly 'Sylvester Weaver, former presi-dent of the Chamber of Commerce and head of the Weaver Roof Company, left last night for Seattle to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. Jane Laflln Weaver, who died of heart failure In the northern city last Saturday right.

Mr. Weaver did not learn of his mother's death until he entered his oflhe Monday morning, when he found a stack of telegrams under his door.

THE L.fK, 0A.IL. -i x. 1 t' It Is my belief that the mate- rial interest In any community is dependable on Its reputation. If we wish to see Los Angeles' wonderful growth continue, we must "oik along the lines of absolute honesty with ourselves, having a constructive program of community enrichment so steadily and enthusiastically followed as to command notice and respect, "We must realize the stern truth there Is an enemy at the gateway of o'ir erstwhile garden spot of America.
