Kennedy in SUN Office Thursday Evening Sail Temblor Due in South With i in Ten Days Period i Late Thursday afternoon Orlis Kennedy, earthquake expert, entered THE SUN office and announced "An earthquake is due; it will come within 10 Yesterday four violent earthquake shocks shook the city of Los Angeles, Mr. Kennedy's successful forecast follows his prediction of last month that preceded the Los Angeles earth quake of May 21.

When he came to THE SUN office Thursday, Mr. Kennedy declared the San Andreas fault was emitting gas and that it had become so thiok a haze had formed over the fault. The gas, according to Mr. Kennedy's theory, is formed by the friction of the slip in the earth's crust and leaks out through the rauit. he earthquake follows the slip; it is a readjustment of the earth's surface.

Mr. Kennedy was In a Los Angeles restaurant with a group of associates when two of the quakes came. He returned last night. There was no need of fear," he said. "We laughed at the people who were frightened.

People ascribe terror it an earthquuke that doesn't belong to it. The earthquakes in Los Angeles were superficial settlings occasioned by the earthquake of May 21. "I predicted on Thursday he eartY quake would come and believed that it would come farther north alng tie fault, for the reason that by the natural course of events the strain has been re lieved in the south, by the disturbance of 1914 in Imperial Valley, in 1918 in San Jacinto, Hemet, Riverside and San Bernardino, and last month ia Los An geles. I still hold, to the theory tho next general quake' is duo for the mountain region. Although to day's earthquakes were rather severe they were settlings occasioned by the previous shake in Los Angeles.

'On Sunday I visited the San Ai-dreas fault near my house at Verao-mont and found that the pipe line had rboeH broken tho day toe-fore. This Seated there had been a slip. The gases bsgaa to come out of the fault. The haze developed and became so thick on Thursday that I decided the earth- quake was imminent. I placed the fore-cast as within 10 days to give me a little leeway, for I was a few days off on my prediction of the May 21 quake." Mr.

Kennedy opposes publication of his predictions of earthquakes on the ground that they alarm foolish people who will not realize there is less danger from an earthquake than a thunder storm. When he made his prediction Thursday, a member of THE SUN staff wrote across the calendar July 15 this notation: says shake In Te-hachapl sector In 10 days." Yesterday's shocks were not as se- (Continued on Page Twelve) Open All San DESERT GET Tales of Struggle and Privation Are Heard by Board of Supervisors Who Act to Aid Men Building an Empire Tales of the struggle of the ranchers who are attempting to blaze the way for agricultural development out in little valleys of the desert yesterday moved the board of supervisors, sitting as the board of equalization, and general reductions were ordered. The supervisors ordered $1 an acre as the assessment on government lands in which the settlers have a. possessory interest and $2 an acre on deeded lands. The decision of the supervisors came after a full day of testimony by a long list of homesteaders who crowded the office of the supervisors to tell their stories of privation and tribulations in a new land.

And as they talked a shorthand reporter, declared to have been employed by the cattle interests, made notes on every comment by the ranchers. The homesteaders and the cattle men are engaged in litigation and feuds over the fencing law. The testimony of the ranchers as to the value of their lands and their crops may some day be valuable to the cattlemen, it was Baid, in court cases for damages by cattle on their lands. Attorney Isaac Jones represented the homesteaders and also E. H.

Richardson of Ontario, owner of the Adelanto ranch. The assessor's office presented a statement showing that even with the existing assessment the school districts concerned will not raise enough money to operate their schools. That presented a serious question and the complex problem as to whether the school districts would be justified in appealing to the county at large for aid in maintaining their schools when the total tax raised would not be sufficient to keep the schools open, let alone contribute to the general county government expense. But the stories of the struggles of the ranchers to make, both ends, meet and their declaration they were pioneering the way in a region that may some day be a prosperous community, although started under tremendous odds, finally moved the supervisors to grant a portion of the appeal. J.

C. Jones of Etiwanda and Mr. Smith of Ontario, presented an appraisement of the properties of E. H. Richardson at Adelanto and certain re ductions were granted on the property and improvements.

Consider well the lilies, They neither toil nor spij Yet at heaven's open portals They freely enter in. The choir were noted singers And numbered quite a score; They all flew down in airplanes And alighted at the door. Thev sang songs of sacred music, Of psalms and hymns and sonnets; Their gowns were quaint and lovely And they had feathers in theft1 bonnets. And though their leader was a mocker, If they knew, they gave no token, And not a word of condemnation Was by anybody spoken.

The doors are always open And their service never ended, And they worship in the silence In the church i attended. We drank the wine of gladness From a golden poppy cup, Which at the table of communion They are daily holding up, Agnes Josephine Rix.

Ashdown was yesterday granted divorce from hit wife, Nora N. Ashdown, by Judge Rex B. Goodcell, at the conclusion of a sensational trial in which it was charged by various witnesses that Mrs. Ashdown had kissed and been kissed by Edgar. T.

Ashdown, her husband's cousin. Judge Goodcell granted the divorce on the grounds of cruelty, refusing it on the charge of adultery. Ashdown set up both charges as causes of Mrs. Ashdown, the last witness of the day, denied in dramatic manner that she had kissed Edgar T. Ashdown or that she loved him.

these persons who have testified that they saw you kiss htm have committed perjury?" inquired Judge Goodcell. "They have," she said. Mrs. Ashdown, while questioned by the court, said that many of the witnesses against her had been her friends and she did not know why they had testified as they did. Edgar T.

Ashdown, the co-respondent, denied at the morning session, when he was the first witness called, by the defense, that he had kissed his cousin's wife or had improper relations of any kind with her. Although the sensational battle between the two cousins, growing out of the suspicions of William P. Ashdown as to the relations of his wife and Edgar T. Ashdown, was mentioned there was nothing developed that would bear out the. rumors of a plan for primeval revenge.

According to the testimony Ashdown had never mentioned to his wife the gossip he had heard, until after the ficrht. When he entered the house after the battle with his cousin, Mrs. Ashdown, ordered ltlm out of the house. The cruelty allegation was based on Ashdown's charge that his wife was entirely too friendly' with his cousin, that her love for him had cooled and that during the mental strain over the situation he lost 17 pounds in weight. Under the terms of the order of Judge Goodcell, Mrs.

Ashdown retans the custody of the six children and Ashdown is required to pay $70 a month for their support. This he has been doing. William P. Ashdown completed his testimony yesterday and Jane Evans was then called and the plaintiffs case was closed. In addition to Mrs.

Ashdown, defense witnesses Included: Frank Ashdown, Lillian Ashdown, Harry Rogers, Mrs. J. M. West, Atthrneys Daley Byrne repre sented Ashdown and Attorneys Al lison Dickson represented Mrs. Ashdown, The next angle to the family tron- bles will be the suit of Mrs.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The abiding gladness of heart which is the gift of God to every man, woman and child in the universe, today and every day, was evidently experienced in large measure by Israel's poet, for he declared: "In thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore." The reasonable explanation of this pure sense of harmony is found in the preceding verses wherein the psalmist says: "I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad." A sober survey of earthly experience restrains mortals from asserting that they have walked in the true path of life. Men have Jong clung to the hope of life everlasting even in the midst of bitter trials, but the most tenacious belief without understanding brings no practical relief.

The common tendency of humanity to relegate harmony to the hereafter has dulled the confidence with which mankind should claim and experience the present joy of spiritual life. Many persons are not willing to admit that their lives are being govern ed by unrealities, illusions. They may consider such a conclusion a reflection upon their intelligence.
