USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor FACING DISGRACE; BUSINESS SCORNS. Dispatches today record what most men consider disgrace. James A. Stillman, millionaire president of the National City bank of New York, has "resigned" because of his alleged immoral method of living. His divorce suit against his wife proved a boomerang, for his wife filed countercharges that the public seems willing to accept as true. James A. Stillman's wealth, wholly inherited from his dead father, will help him to face disgrace with calmness, for there are very few things in this world that money will not buy. Two things money will not buy, however. One is honor and the other happiness. The case of Stillman is not unusual among the ranks of the accidental wealthy. It is not difficult to recall names of dozens of sons of wealthy parents who are not worth getting up at sunrise to shoot. We all want enough of wealth to be able to live comfortably, but strange as it may seem, the happiest people in the world are those who are fortunately poor in worldly goods. Money too often buys disgrace and grief. The man who works—the man who gives the world the results of his NEW POSTOFFICE BUILDING ASKED BY DEPARTMENT IN SPECIFICATIONS RECEIVE Postmaster Ahlborn Now Has Blanks Specifications for All Require In New Quarters BIDS WILL BE RECEIVED UNTIL JULY All who intend bidding for the new postoffice quarters for Anaheim are invited to call on Postmaster Ahlborn who is now in possession of all necessary information as to the dimensions, and all other specifications for the new quarters. It is practically certain the quarters will be in a new building to be erected before January 1, although the notice calling for bids specifies January 1, 1922, "or such date as the building is ready for occupancy." It is not thought the quarters will be wanted before January 1, 1922, or the call for bids would have specified "on or before" that date. January 1, 1922, building is ready cordance with for the furnish water closets, and all necessary equipment for said office at num. The needs are by 3500 square good daylight building must the business coords of railroads. Blank proposal may be obtained Ahlborn, who motion on the wealthy. It is not difficult to recall names of dozens of sons of wealthy parents who are not worth getting up at sunrise to shoot. We all want enough of wealth to be able to live comfortably, but strange as it may seem, the happiest people in the world are those who are fortunately poor in worldly goods. Money too often buys disgrace and grief. The man who works—the man who gives the world the results of his labor and lives with honor, is more blessed than the man who inherits wealth and buys disgrace. There is a deal of merit in that old saying, "blessed be nothing." CHEATING CHEATERS; REAPING HARVEST. Speculation is legitimate business, but all speculators are not in a legitimate business. This is brought to light with a bump today by information from Florida that two or three "confidence" men reaped about $2,000,000 from tourists during the winter season just closed. The story came to light when two confidence men fell out and one of them fell dead after the other had presented him with a bullet fresh from the fire. It is claimed that these bunco boys gathered their wealth from middle aged men who tried to get more of the world's wealth through speculation. They all fell for the appeal that they could double their money in ten minutes. Some of them did, but before they finished dealing with the bunco boys, they lost it all. It seems impossible to impress otherwise good business men with the fact that money does not grow on trees. Some men gather an independence and then try to get another fortune through speculation. They seem to throw prudence to the winds when a glowing proposition is presented to them. Visions of additional wealth stall their mental engines. The best investment for idle funds is in real estate, government bonds and savings accounts. It is strange that good business men grab "gold bricks" when they ought to know that anyone who has "gold bricks" more than likely will retain them if they are worth keeping. Speculation is risky business, even more risky than starting an ice plant at the north pole, or trying to sell the new quarters. It is practically certain the quarters will be in a new building to be erected before January 1, although the notice calling for bids specifies January 1, 1922, "or such date as the building is ready for occupancy." It is not thought the quarters will be wanted before January 1, 1922, or the call for bids would have specified "on or before" that date. The special notice calling for bids is practically as follows: F. E. Jarvis, postoffice inspector at Los Angeles, representative of the chief inspector in Washington, will receive proposals up to and including June 15, 1921, for the furnishing of suitable quarters for postoffice purposes at Anaheim, California, under a lease for five or ten years from Jan- GERMANY DECLARES NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR C. C. CYCLOPS BERLIN.(By Mail).—The theory that a German submarine or mine was responsible for the unsolved disappearance of the American collier Cyclops in West Indian waters, was refuted today by the Admiralty. German submarines were not in that vicinity when the Cyclops met its fate, according to the admiralty, which added that were that the case, it would not now hesitate to make the fact known. As to the theory that a German agent may have placed a bomb aboard the official stated that nothing was known here of such action, but he assumed that, had such a thing happened, some traces of wreckage from the Cyclops would have been picked up later. The admiralty information was given only after careful examination of data, and it was said that there could be no doubt as to its correctness. ANAHEIM HI "Y" MET LAST NIGHT FOR SUMMER PLANS Last night members of the Anaheim LACK OF THIRST; FREE AND EASY. Los Angeles isn't such a "worse" place after all, so far as its real citizens are concerned. One gentleman, light wine and beer candidate for mayor in yesterday's primary, was as popular with the Los Angeles voters as Cox was with the voters of the United States last fall. Out of 68,000 votes counted up to early this morning, only 11,000 thirsty people had recorded their call for light wine and beer by voting for that gentleman. The man was a so-called "personal liberty" candidate. It seems that he misjudged the people of Los Angeles when he thought they wanted light wine and beer to return. Probably most of the advocates of such a platform were tourists. Tourists cannot vote in Los Angeles, strange as it may seem. And it is well. Another great thing about California is that eventually we see folks from the old home town, but we don't have to go back to the old home to see them. They follow the crowd sooner or later. See by the papers that hospitals are all doing good business. Also the only reason people don't eat dynamite is because it probably doesn't taste goo. ANAHEIM HI "Y" MET LAST NIGHT FOR SUMMER PLANS Last night members of the Anaheim Hi-Y Club met for their final meeting of the year at a supper at the Y. M. C. A. building. After the famous "bean" feed and "rubber" pudding, A. H. Witman gave the boys a very interesting and instructive talk on his recent trip into Old Mexico. He told of conditions he found there, and of the different people he came in contact with, also of the Yaqui Indians and the part they play in the history of that country. Following Mr. Witman's talk, the club proceeded to regular business session. Officers for the coming year were elected. Cliff Elliott was elected president and Fred Witman vice-president, the other two officers to be elected the first meeting after school starts in the fall. Mr. Raitt then outlined to the boys the summer program for Anaheim and called on the boys to assist him in the carrying out of the plans as outlined. There were twelve present at the meeting. TROLLEY'S BIRTHDAY NEW YORK, May 4—Electric railway companies throughout the United States today are celebrating the thirty-third birthday of the overhead trolley car. It was in Richmond, Va., on May 4, 1888, that the modern overhead trolley really got its start as a commercial enterprise. When money talks at an Allied conference, it doesn't need any interpreter. AHEIM DAILY HER SIX PAGES ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1921 VICE BUILDING BIDS DEPARTMENT INSPECTOR MATIONS RECEIVED HERE Now Has Blanks For Bidders and ons for all Requirements New Quarters REVIVED UNTIL JUNE 15TH NEXT MOTHER ACCUSED IN CASE OF BROWNING FATHER APPEARS SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.—Mrs. Mary Chiapara, age 28, was held in jail here today while police made further investigation of charges that she tarew her ten months' old baby Enrico into the bay and drowned him. She was taken into custody late yesterday, after her husband had identified the body of a baby taken from the bay as that of his son and had told of his wife taking the child away the morning before the body was found. Chiapara said his wife told him she had "put the baby out to board," but refused to say where. MISS VALENCIA PICTURE. IS STARTED Work on Picture Will Begin Here Friday Morning At Seven O'clock The Squier apartment building on Emily and Caartres was completed May 1. This building was started, or rather the carpenter work started on March 1, and Contractor Joseph R. Anderson started it. He finished it May 1, when the first tenant took possession of one of the up-to-date and convenient apartments. This sixteen room house was completed in 60 days and may be said to be Anaheim's youngest building. Each apartment is composed of a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, bed room, bath dressing room and five closets. In the dining room, arrangement has been made for company, for the popular disappearing bed is installed. The apartments are well lighted by numerous windows, and the fixtures and other conveniences found in modern apartments, are found in the Squier building. Contractor Anderson today notes the distinction which is his in that he costructed, or rather did the carpenter work on Anaheim's youngest building and yes terday started tearing down Anaheim's first building. COUNTY OFFICIALS GIVEN INCREASED SALARY IN BILL The legislature favored Orange county's new government bill, in which certain county officials will receive more salary. The bill will become law about August 1, but will not effect county officers now in office. The adjustment brought about is the demand of increased work and responsibilities by reason of the county's growth. Salaries as provided in the new county government bill for county officers of this county are as follows: Clerk, $3600; sheriff, $3400; record auditor, tax collector, $3900 each; treasurer, $2800; assessor, $3900; district attorney, $3600; superintendent of schools, $2800; supervisor, $1500; coroner and public administrator, fees; justices of the peace and constable, salaries range according to populations of townships, from $125 a month down to $10; live stock inspector, $300 a year; grand and trial jurors in superior courts, $3 a day; justice and recorder court jurors for criminal cases $1.50 a day and for civil cases $2. The provisions for compensation of supervisors, coroner and public administrator, justice of the peace, constables, live stock inspector and jurors said office at a stated price per annum. The needs are given approximately 3500 square feet of floor space, good daylight and the location of the building must not be too far from the business center and within eighty rods of railroad depots. Blank proposals and specifications may be obtained from Postmaster Ahlborn, who also had detailed information on the subject. The form of lease can also be seen at Mr. Ahlborn's office. Bidders are asked to submit diagrams of rooms offered, but this is demanded where a building already constructed is under consideration. Proposals must be sent to Inspector Jarvis at the Federal building in Los Angeles. PICTURE IS STARTED Work on Picture Will Begin Here Friday Morning At Seven O'clock BE SHOWN TWO WEEKS Service Manager Eliason of the Screenogram Service in Anaheim this morning announced that he will be in Anaheim Friday morning at 7 o'clock where he will meet the young ladies at the Herald office to prepare for work on the motion picture, "Miss Valencia," which will be shown all over Southern California, starting at Grauman's Million Dollar theatre in Los Angeles. This afternoon Mr. Eliason is going over details with Miss Tressa Strickland of Orange who won the honor of having the leading part in the picture as a result of a contest conducted by the Anaheim Herald, Orange News and the Los Angeles Express. Some time tomorrow Mr. Eliason will telephone the Anaheim Herald and give the name of the Herald or Orange News subscriber who won the $100 scenario prize. The young ladies who will take part in the picture will be required to work all Friday, and perhaps part of Saturday. They will be given costumes and rehearsals under the direction of Mr. Eliason. BIG SHOW PRIZES TOTAL $2000 IS REPORT AT OFFICE California Valencia Orange show cash prizes and silver cups, ribbons and other trophies total something like $2000, the office declared today. Some of the cups have already arrived at the store of B. Hartfield, who has been lighted by numerous white dows, and the fixtures and other conveniences found in modern apartments, are found in the Squier building. Contractor Anderson today notes the distinction which is his in that he constructed, or rather did the carpenter work on Anaheim's youngest building and yes terday started tearing down Anaheim's first building. Anaheim was settled in 1856 and in 1857 the old winery was built of adobe brick on South Claudina. In that direction a cloud of dust arose early yesterday morning and loud crashes were heard. I was found not to be a bomb explosion of the Bolshevik form of May day celebration, but merely that man Anderson wrecking the oldest building in town preparatory to erecting an industrial building for A. Schulte. HERMAN STERN IS THE LOSER OF A FINE AUTOMOBILE Herman Stearn, prominent Anaheim resident and business man, fered the loss by theft of his specially built Jordan automobile, accorded to a report at the sheriff's office day. The car was stolen from La Beach last night. It is believed that can easily be recovered owing to unusual appearance. A large car was equipped with disk wheels, it was painted a light tan color.

The provisions for compensation of supervisors, coroner and public administrator, justice of the peace, constables, live stock inspector and jurors are substantially the same as they were in the county government bill of 1919. Under the county government bill of 1919 the schedule of salaries fixed for heads of offices was as follows: Clerk, $2800; sueriff, $2500; recorder, auditor, tax collector, $2600; treasurer, $2500; assessor, $3300; district attorney, $3000; superintendent of schools, $2200. The last grand jury held hearings to which county officers were called. In general, county officers reported that the county government bill now in force does not make adequate provision for meeting the increased work placed upon the officers by the growth of the county. PRISONERS TURN ON THEIR ACCUSER Andy Cornett and Charles Woolard were sentenced to sixty days in the county jail yesterday by Justice of the Peace J. B. Cox, when they were convicted of violating the ordinance prohibiting the transportation of liquor for beverage purposes. The pair immediately demanded that a complaint be sworn out against A. L. Turner, the complaining witness in the case. They claim that Turner robbed them both on the night of the arrest, and that they were fighting him when he called for help. They were told to go to the district attorney. California Valencia Orange show cash prizes and silver cups, ribbons and other trophies total something like $2000, the office declared today.

INvasion of the Ruhr district TO HISTORY IN JUNE Famed Federal Judge Said To be Making Ready to Give Up The Bench IS EXPECTED IN JUNE CHICAGO, May 4.—Kenesaw Mountain Landis will give up his job as judge of the federal courts here in order to devote all of his time to his position as high baseball commissioner. His resignation, according to present indications, will take effect early in June. It has long been known among Judge Landis' friends that he would give up the bench. Since the attack was made on him in congress because of the fact that he held two positions, the judge has planned to quit the court. He would not quit under fire, however, and would not leave while the impeachment proceedings were pending. With the resignation of Judge Landis the federal court will lose one of its most picturesque characters. His ready wit, his broad spoken humor, his vigorous, outspoken method of dealing with attorneys, witnesses, court attaches and those on trial before him made him nationally known. The judge in leaving the bench gives up a salary of $7500 a year. His pay as baseball high commissioner is $42,500 a year. Landis has been setting dates on all cases for decision ahead, not later than June 15. He has started making arrangements to obtain a few moments from his court room. They include his desk, a chair and a few tickets. Judge Landis said today he had not resigned yet.

OLD TRICK GETS BY IN SANTA ANA A cafeteria in Santa Ana is in the possession of an envelope which is of no value except to serve as a reminder not to trust a stranger with money. An innocent appearing stranger appeared in the etsablishment and asked to trade silver money for a $10 bill. He said that he wished to send $10 to his wife in Texas and showed her an envelope with his wife’s address written upon it. Upon receiving the bill he sealed it in the envelope. When he counted his silver it was found that he was shy the amount, so leaving an envelope in the cashier’s hands he went out to get the deficit. Up to the time of going to press he has not returned, and it is not believed that he ever will of his own volition. The envelope now in the custody of the cafeteria has no ten dollar bill therein.
