PAGE SIX USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. Now and Then By The Editor HERE'S ECONOMY; THE PEOPLE PAY. The Republican administration promised economy. We have looked forward to it with great hope that in the economy program, there would be a big curb put on expenditures for things unnecessary. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, in a letter to the chairman of the house ways and means committee says, "the nation cannot continue to spend at this shocking rate," and says that "the tax burden under which the people are staggering can be reduced only by substantial cuts in current expenditures." Among recent actions of the congress we note the payment of $25,000,000 to Columbia. Colonel Roosevelt for many years declared the payment of one cent to Columbia would be paying blackmail. Nevertheless, the new administration approves the payment of this "small item" to promote friendliness with Columbia. That same $25,000,000 would promote more friendliness with thousands of our own disabled ex-service men who are in need and have been ever since they got out of the trenches. The congress is now working on an appropriation of $396,000,000 for a greater navy. Meanwhile, the allies owe us approximately $12,000,000,000, all of which is due and payable.

The Anaheim Herald has nothing but commendation for the great hearted people of America who have done so much for the famine stricken millions of China and the destitute people of Ireland in the recent drives for funds to feed these starving peoples. It is great indeed to give to the needy. The thought has occurred to us, however, that in giving of our worldly goods, we have looked across the seas and have failed to see the needy and worthy at home. The thousands of ex-service men, hundreds and hundreds of whom are disabled, have been practically ignored. We have confined our thoughts of a patriotic nature to applauding in picture shows when a picture of our service men have been shown on parade. Meanwhile, thousands of our ex-service WASHINGTON, May 2.—Senator Truman H. Newberry's sentence to two years' imprisonment and his fine of $10,000 on the charge of illegal use of money to defeat Henry Ford in the Michigan senatorial election of 1918 were set aside by the United States supreme court today. The court held unconstitutional a section of the federal corrupt practices act under which Newberry and 16 associates were convicted by a federal district court of Michigan. The prison sentences and fines imposed on the friends of the senator were also set aside. The senator under the decision is left free to serve out his term, the senate committee investigating the Ford-Newberry election having determined that there was no fraud in the count of the votes. Newberry and his associates were convicted under the federal law which provides that not more than $10,000 shall be spent in any one senatorial campaign. It was charged that the senator and his campaign managers spent at least $100,000 to win the election. Aggregate deposits of the Newberry campaign committee were claimed to be $178,857.20. Originally 134 persons were indicted, but only 17 were convicted.

Recollections of the stirring days of 1914 were called up when with pennons flying and bands playing, cavalry and artillery started for the river Rhine. The fifth cavalry division left Meaux. Cavalry batteries stationed at Lyon began the long hike. The thirteenth dragoons clattered out of Melun. The cavalry movement was the first step in what France expected to be a great expedition into the Ruhr valley. Preparations were made for calling up the class of 1919 as soon as word comes from the supreme council in London that a final agreement has been reached. Ten trains were held in the railway yards here for the transportation of additional troops. It was believed here the allies will sign a note to Germany today demanding payment of 132 billion marks in reparations. Berlin will have until May 8 to accept the demand. Meantime, French preparations for invasion will continue. The impression prevailed that the advancement will begin the moment the ultimatum expires. Premier Briand was reported to have obtained British sanction to quick action only after threatening to withdraw from the supreme council, return to Paris and resign his office. Lloyd George was said to have yielded then and to have approved the invasion if France would consent to the dispatching of a final ultimatum, which would set forth the allied cause.

AWN OUT LEGAL BATTLE ditures for publicity, banquets, entertainments, speakers and detectives were charged against Newberry. As part of the defense it was claimed that Newberry did not expend a dollar to win the election. It was claimed that the purpose of the statute was not to prevent others from contributing to campaign but merely to prevent the candidate from expending more than $10,000. Newberry supporters admitted they LOCAL BOY WINNER OF STATE POLEVAULT CHAMPIONSHIP Harold Shoebridge won the state championship for Anaheim in the pole vault, the height being 12 feet. He cleared the bar at a height which easily won over all competitors. Shoebridge from his boyhood days has always been inclined toward athletics, and very early exhibited remarkable skill in all branches of athletics. When he attended grammar school he was especially noted for his skill in pitching a baseball. He was the "Waterloo" of many a heavy hitter, and dismayed the opposing teams by his ability to twist the ball in and about their ears. Upon his entry into high school in the class of 21 he quickly took up the different branches of sports and raptily gained headway to the front. Since his sophomore year he was pitcher for the school team. He is an export in football and basketball. In track he is a participant in practically all events. He has been spoken of by outgivers as the best all around ath- PUBLICITY PICTURE WILL BE SHOWN IN LOGICAL THEATERS Head & Ingram, managers of the Fairland and Grand theaters have kindly agreed to run "Anna Visits Anaheim," the publicity reel to be shown at the P. E. headquarters in Los Angeles for the next three weeks. Chairman Stern and others of the executive committee have seen this picture and are very well pleased with it. It runs in a little story introducing the "California Valencia Orange Show," and will be seen in Los Angeles by many thousands of people, before the gafes are opened on the 17th. LABOR UNIONS MEET HERE TONIGHT dilutions for publicity, banquets, entertainments, speakers and detectives were charged against Newberry. As part of the defense it was claimed that Newberry did not expend a dollar to win the election. It was claimed that the purpose of the statute was not to prevent others from contributing to campaign but merely to prevent the candidate from expending more than $10,000. Newberry supporters admitted they organized and financed the primary campaign of James W. Helms against Ford for the democratic nomination. The main reason for the reversal was that the court decided that congress had exceeded its authority in an attempt to regulate primary elections of United States senators through a section of the federal corrupt practices act. Because of this the lower court should have sustained a demurrer to the indictment, Justice McReynolds said. The inference was that the rest of the act will stand. McReynolds declared the ultimate question to decide in the case was whether, under the grant to congress that body has the power to regulate primaries. "The constitution refers to final elections, not primaries and we cannot conclude that congress can regulate primaries," he said. BIG CONTEST TO CLOSE LATE TONIGHT Victor for Part of Miss Valencia Decided by Votes of Herald SCENARIO CONTEST Tonight at midnight, the contest to pick a leading lady and six other young ladies to take part in the motion picture, "Miss Valencia" will close. Tomorrow, or the day after, it is expected Mr. Eliason, in charge of the service department of the Screen- LABOR UNIONS MEET HERE TONIGHT Over 200 Delegates Will Assemble at Labor Temple To Discuss Business TO BE OPEN MEETING Tonight there will be over 200 labor delegates from all over the Fullerton, Santa Ana, Brea and Anaheim districts in Labor Temple to take part in the get-together meeting and listen to the speakers from Los Angeles, and other cities. The principal speakers will be well known organizers of union labor. Following the program of speaking refreshments will be served. Labor delegates will be glad to know that among the speakers will be Charles Kinsley of Brea, president of the Central Labor Union of Orange county. All men in the various vocations of labor are invited to attend, whether they are union men or not. Members of chambers of commerce of the three cities are also invited to attend. ARRANGED FOR PRESIDENT TO CALL Local Show Committee Will Pay Approximately $18 For Telephone Tolls At 10 a.m. he was scheduled to be brought before Superior Judge Lauderback on an order issued last week, to present promised new testimony in his behalf, as a basis for a motion for a new trial. Mooney's friends were hopeful before court opened today, that such a showing would be made that there would be little difficulty in securing the re-trial and again opening the case which has stirred labor circles throughout the world. Mooney's attorneys were loaded with piles of affidavits, sworn statements and other data, designed to support their contention that Mooney was "framed" into jail. SAN QUENTIN PENITENTIARY, Cal., May 2.—For the first time in more than two years Tom Mooney had a glimpse of the world beyond prison walls today. At 8:18 a.m. the prison gates opened and a big limousine rolled through. In it were Mooney and Tom Finn, John Whelan and Barney Riley, guards. Mooney was in high spirits, but was silent on the subject of today's proceedings in which he will make an effort to secure a new trial. As he drove from the prison he waved his hands—which were handcuffed together—to each prisoner in the yard or guard whom he passed. The party was due at the San Francisco ferry building at 9:35 and will go immediately to the hall of justice for the hearing before Judge Louderback. The scratch of a lion's claw is almost as deadly as his bite, for he never cleans his nails, and he always carries under them rotting meat that is rank with deadly germs. Flies and water bugs do the same thing on a smaller scale; and: "Don't forget," says the U.S. public health service, "that they never wipe their hands in court." MISS MARJA BROWN, Of Anaheim, one of the leading contestants for the part of Miss Valencia in motion picture. ogram company, who is making the picture to exploit Anaheim's Valencia orange show, will have started the young ladies on their work.

NOW SUGGESTED PLAN FOR CIVIC CENTER MEETS POPULAR ACCORD AMONG CITIZENS OF FORWARD LOOKING IDEAS Opportunity Time to Lay Foundation for Greater and More Beautiful City Says Correspondent in Letter to Anaheim Herald SUGGESTS MASS MEETING BE HELD TO DISCUSS The proposition advanced in the Anaheim Herald of Saturday to place the new city hall on the city's property and create a civic center has met with popular accord, and within a short time a mass meeting will be called by leading citizens to discuss the plan. One of Anaheim's prominent citizens and one of her heaviest taxpayers called at the Herald office this morning with a communication he said, "and we must be farsighted in this matter of public buildings and public enterprise. We should have no more expensive cutting back of buildings as we have had on Center street—we must look ahead and make room for the growth of this great city."

One of Anaheim's prominent citizens and one of her heaviest taxpayers called at the Herald office this morning with a communication in favor of the plan and in his letter, presents additional reasons why the city of Anaheim should keep at least "reck and neck" with the home builders and owners of business property. "Anaheim is going to grow faster than we have any idea at present." VANCE CASE IS BRINGING ON NEW PHASE Man Named Lockhart Said To be Engaged to Miss Vance; Is Married DAUGHTERS SPEAK UP LOS ANGELES, May 2.—An exhaustive investigation here into the death of Miss Marie Vance, daughter of a Chicago physician, was ordered today by District Attorney Woolwine following receipt of a telegram from Coroner Hoffman of Chicago stating that an autopsy there had revealed she was killed by nicotine poisoning. Miss Vance, in a delicate condition, died in Los Angeles on April 15. A death certificate giving diphtheria as one of the causes was signed and the body was shipped to Chicago in a sealed casket. A postmortem examination there, made at the request of her father, disclosed that her body contained enough of the poison to have killed five persons. Robert S. Lockhart, wealthy retired he said, "and we must be farsighted in this matter of public buildings and public enterprise. We should have no more expensive cutting back of buildings as we have had on Center street,—we must look ahead and make room for the growth of this great city." A young orange tree can be grown in a flower pot for awhile, one well known citizen said Saturday, but after awhile, it must be planted in Mother Earth, where its roots will have room to expand. So its with Anaheim, he said, and we must look forward to having room for Anaheim's roots to grow. The letter to the Herald, referred to in the second paragraph above, is as follows: "Proposition launched to place new city administration hall on part of city's 20 acre site as announced in Saturday's Daily Herald, looks good to me. "It is a move in the right direction and in harmony with the present spirit prevailing among the progressive citizens of Anaheim, who are evidencing their faith in the future of this city by erecting buildings and contemplating structures which mean a larger and more beautiful city. "Let our civic improvements keep pace with our private enterprises. Yes, civic improvements should lead and point the way. To revive from the dusty archives of the city an old city hall plan, made some 5 or 6 years ago, and make it fit the Anaheim of today, is like trying to put her back in swaddling clothes when she should have a dress which is at least knee length. "No, fellow citizens, let us awake from the long sleep of Rip Van Winkle in which we have so long indulged in our civic improvements, and join in the procession of progress so evident on every side and let us also have an eye on the future. "Your idea, Mr. Editor, of placing the city hall on the park site is certainly along the right lines. Why spoil valuable business property with a cramped city hall? Sell the present site and invest that money in a suitable new building placed on the park site as the first unit of a civic center. Then an auditorium large enough in which to hold any large..."

A death certificate giving diptheria as one of the causes was signed and the body was shipped to Chicago in a sealed casket. A postmortem examination there, made at the request of her father, disclosed that her body contained enough of the poison to have killed five persons. Robert S. Lockhart, wealthy retired planter of Covington, Va., alleged fliance of the young woman, whom authorities plan, it is said, to question in connection with her death, is reported to have gone into seclusion. Three of Lockhart's daughters living here defended their father today. denied he was engaged to Miss Vance and branded as false reports that he had deeded a bungalow to the Vance woman. "Our father is a married man, now living with his wife, our stepmother and their two children in Covington and Miss Marie knew that, declared Lockgart's eighteen-year-old daughter, Helen. 'He bought that bungalow for us to live in. There is no reason why his name should be linked with the case. At the proper time he will explain everything." A chemical analysis of some pills and powders which Miss Vance had taken during her illness is now in progress. During her illness Miss Vance was unable to leave her bed and persons who attended her were unable to explain the manner in which she obtained the nicotine poison. The U.S. public health service calls attention to the fact that only twenty-three states have efficient birth registration laws; eighteen have imperfect ones; and five have none at all. Inability to prove age may cause all sorts of legal troubles later in life—in proving citizenship, in voting, and in inheriting, for instance. Don't forget to make sure that the new arrival in your home has been registered. "Your idea, Mr. Editor, of placing the city hall on the park site is certainly along the right lines. Why spoil valuable business property with a cramped city hall? Sell the present site and invest that money in a suitable new building placed on the park site as the first unit of a civic center. Then an auditorium large enough in which to hold any large gathering that this city might be called upon to entertain. For instance, the California Valencia Orange show, which will be an annual affair and will be in position to pay a large rental. Chautauqua and such other gatherings as the city is called upon every year to entertain, together with the large hotel now contemplated, tails city will be in a position to become the convention city of Southern California. "Civic center sounds good. Other cities are spending millions for a civic center site. We have a site admirably suited for such purpose without interfering with our park in the least. Why not do it. Why not call a great mass meeting of citizens for the purpose of appointing committees to look into this matter and make recommendations. "Now is the opportune time to lay the foundation for a greater and more beautiful city. With constant and increasing oil discoveries coming closer and closer to Anaheim, this city is bound to grow very rapidly. Do not let us be asleep now when we should be wide awake. Let us be up and doing. With an orange crop of 3000 cars annually and oil spouting at our very door steps, Anaheim will be a city of 20,000 before we can green it. For that reason let us be up ing and discard any old Rip Van- kle notions, which still rema-yesterday. Citizens, let's get it and talk it over."
