B e e o ] son. But Instead of dolng this Governor Gage took the noon train for the East. Governor Gage's attitude with respect to the_Sacramento Judgeship is inexplicable in Republican circles here and much dis- appointment 1is expressed. Sacramento had a prior claim to San Diego County for consideration at the hands of the execu- tive. Letters have been on file in the of- fice of the executive for weeks from tne two Judges now on the bench, urging the appointment of the third Judge to fill the vacancy caused by Judge Johnson’s death, on the ground that the business of | the courts had accumulated to such an extent as to require the services of Sacra- mento’s full quota of Superior Judges. Governor Gage, however, has paid no at- tention to these and otfher urgent re- quests. Local Republicans claim that | Governor Gage is rarely at his office in ! the Capitol at all and that the oppor- tunity seldom, if ever, is offered citizens to confer with him freely on the needs of the taxpayers in this part of the eounty. It is vpointed out that the place for the | Governor to transact office business is the | State Capitol and that he should be at all | times accessible, the same as any other public officer. SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6.—The announce- | ment of the appointment of Judge George | Fuller to the position made vacant by the | death of Judge J. W.

August 6—Fred Himes, the 13-year-old poisoner of his father, tearfully repents of his deed now that he realizes the enormity of his offense.
