USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor GOOD MAN CALLED; LEADER IN FIELD. The condition we refer to as death has called M. F. Ihmsen, publisher of the Los Angeles Examiner. Death has hovered over the nationally known newspaper man for some months, and although he put up a courageous fight, death came out victorious, but only in claiming the tabernacle of flesh that a big heart and soul and a brilliant mind inhabited. Even death cannot take the victory of Mr. Ihmsen's great work in the newspaper field and in the public's welfare. Mr. Ihmsen was one of those men whose personality inspired confidence. No man ever went to Mr. Ihmsen in a discouraged state of mind and left in the same condition. Those who knew him best say that Mr. Ihmsen was a man whose daily life embodied the creed "not for myself alone." There may be better things that can be said of a man than that but we cannot at this moment recall anything that we ourselves would rather have said after we experience the Great Adventure.

LEGISLATURE ACCOMPLISHES BIG THINGS DURING SESSION CLOSURE THIS WEEK; A BIG PAPER SPEAKS; THE BALL IS ROLLING. The New York World, spokesman for President Wilson during his two terms, and considered the most powerful democratic newspaper in America, asks "Why Postpone Disarmament?" Along the lines that nearly all newspapers are following now, the World believes it expedient and meritorious to begin disarmment proceedings at once. In an editorial last week, the World says: "The way to bring about a reduction of naval armaments, according to Representative Patrick H. Kelley of the house naval affairs committee is to persist in increasing armaments. Speaking ostensibly for President Harding, he says that the United States must complete its 1916 big navy-building program before agreeing to any disarmament policy. Then, as he foresees the world situation— "There will be a reduction of armament, and when that reduction comes America will still be the equal under this program of every other sea power, and that makes for peace. When America and the great English-speaking empire, Great Britain, can go out upon the seas of the world as equals, there will be but few questions that intelligent statesmanship cannot dispose of." "As matters stand today, the United States and Great Britain are already supreme in naval armament. To spend hundreds of millions more on naval building programs will not change that condition, but it will only insure needless waste which neither nation can afford. It would continue the fatuous policy that leads to bankruptcy. "The alternative is for the United States to initiate a movement for the reduction of naval armaments by agreement among the three great naval powers, the United States, Great Britain and Japan, as the Borah resolution proposes. It means a naval holiday; to begin at the earliest possible moment, not at some indefinite and remote period. It means that the United States, for its own and the each so that the cost can be prorated in proportion to membership. Announcement was made yesterday by Elmer E. Jahraus of the appointment of the committee authorized at the Fullerton meeting of the Asso- LEGISLATURE ACCOMPLISHES BIG THINGS DURING SESSION CLUE EARLY THIS WEEK; A SACRAMENTO, May 5—Reorganization of the state government and of corporation taxes, defeat of the "blue Sunday" legislation and of movie censorship, and presentation of a clean bill of health to the state railroad commission were some of the things accomplished by the session of the legislature which just adjourned. Although the session stretched Friday, April 29, into a 96 hour day and crammed through scores of bills at the last moment, many more died without ever having a chance at really serious consideration. Briefly, here are some of the most important things the legislature did: Investigated the state railroad commission and gave it a "clean slate." The investigating committee toured the state and decided that what had been done couldn't be helped. Investigated the farm school at Davis and reported favorably for that institution, recommending increased appropriations for buildings at Davis. Adopted the King tax bill, raising the tax rates on corporation. This measure was the most bitterly fought measure of the entire session, charges, counter-charges, and fist-fights entering into the contest. Killed the bill establishing a state board for chiropractors. Held hearing for one whole month on the state budget. After everything had been threshed out, the legislature adopted the budget as presented and declared confidence in the budget board. Killed in committee the Purkitt bill which would have prohibited the ownership of more than 2000 acres of farming land but amended it. Killed the Dennett "Blue Sunday" measure, which was fostered by the barbers' union of the state. Killed the Eden "movie censorship" bill on the floor of the senate. The measure was also called a "blue law." The Hurley and Colburn censorship measures for moving pictures was tabled in committee. The former included censorship of vaudeville acts, the latter put censorship on advertising and bill posters. Passed the Wright prohibition enforcement act after the "wets" failed to write in a clause putting the bill up to vote of the people. Put over for a special session to have openly supplied Lost the Inman ing bill in the as houses voted for the restricting Japanese Adopted a program claring in favor of and favoring further Japanese immigration Voted down the after it had been from 15 to 4 round was to have establish boxing commission Passed the mea- "Jabor spies" being tions.

It means a naval holiday, to begin at the earliest possible moment, not at some indefinite and remote period. It means that the United States, for its own and the common good, shall take the lead now in reduction of armaments, not withhold the proposal while challenging other nations to keep pace with it in the race for naval competition." We do not believe we will read Lansing's book on the peace negotiations nor bother to read Col. House's book on the same subject. What's the use of wasting time to decide how dead a dead thing is or trying to decide why it died when everybody knows. Good natured people are in the minority maybe, but what we want to get off our minds is, why do meat markets try to sell you pork chops when you want a rib steak? The controversy over the island of Yap may come out all right in the end, but we believe we will never be able to enthuse over its name. The Oldest Inhabitant says that the trouble with the present generation is that they want to step on the gas and side-step everything else. Thousands who couldn't afford to own a horse now own an automobile and someone else probably owns a mortgage.

The rain came along just as the work was completed and aided materially in settling the dust so that HUSBAND TODAY CHICAGO, May 5. — Mrs. Thomas Rowland was free today of the charge of murdering her husband, prominent dentist. The coroner's jury late yesterday decided that Mrs. Rowland shot her husband in self defense and therefore was not guilty of murder. Irene Malloy, the girl the doctor was alleged to have been infatuated with, was at the inquest and sat across the table from the woman whose husband she loved. SAYS PLANT IS TO MAKE CITRUS POWDER Orange and lemon powders are to be manufactured at a plant located in Los Angeles, announces the Granite Springs Estates, Inc., a New York concern that has entered the California field. George H. Proctor, president of the company, who is now in Los Angeles, states that his company is contracting for oranges and lemons that are below the marketable size or grade, at $30 a ton for lemons and $40 for oranges, on a basis of co-operation with citrus growers who associate themselves with his enterprise. Proctor states that the plant in Los Angeles will produce 5,000 pounds of citrus powder and 600 pounds of flavoring extracts daily. BIRTHS IN STATE INCREASE: DEATHS SHOW A DECREASE SACRAMENTO, May 5.—The number of births in California in 1920 broke all previous records, according to a final tabulation announced today by L. E. Ross, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health. The births exceeded the deaths for the same period by more than 20,000, the tables showed. In 1919 there were 56,521 births in the state and 45,991 deaths. Last year there were 67,198 births and 47,124 deaths. Killed the measure providing that candidates shall declare their party affiliations and preventing a candidate receiving the endorsement of more than one party. Exonerated Justices Hart and Burnett of the third district court of appeals of charges of erroneous decisions as charged by a Stockton attorney. Killed an attempt to divide the state as proposed in a bill by Assemblyman W. F. Beal of Imperial county.

Defeated the Sharkey bill prohibiting railroads forcing brakemen to ride on the tops of freight cars. Passed the Saylor bill prohibiting the hanging of boys under eighteen years of age. INTERPRETER IS NOW AN ATTORNEY Charlie Carrillo, Orange county Spanish interpreter today blossomed out into a new role, that of a lawyer. Carrillo appeared as counsel for the defense of Dolores Avalos, charged with failure to provide. The testimony of Mrs. Avalos was heard, in which she declared that her husband beat her and that after she was forced to leave him, he refused to give her any money for the support of herself and their six children. Avalos declared that she took $200 with her before she left and that he had established credit for her at a nearby store, but that she refused to use it. After two hours of testimony, the case was dismissed and nearly everyone in the case gave a good bit of fatherly advice to nearly everyone in the courtroom. Charlie is now being congratulated on keeping his client out of jail, and is being advised to open a law office. Work of clearing the lot on Emily and Center streets where the Chautauqua will hold forth beginning Saturday night for a 7-day period was started yesterday and today it was in shape for the big tent that will be erected. The rain came along just as the work was completed and aided materially in settling the dust so that sawdust can be laid. Reserved seats can be obtained at the office of the Henderson Realty Company. Those who buy season tickets will have to have seats reserved. "Work and save, labor like the devil and save like misers," is the key to the European situation, says Tom Skeyhill, who brings the last word to America in his lecture, "The Babylonian Finger," to be offered on the fourth night of the Chautauqua. Since October 1920, Skeyhill has been fact-hunting in the heart of Soviet Russia, gathering first hand material of actual conditions in the most talked of country on earth at the present time. He has interviewed the most prominent Russian officials and visited the political, economical, and sociological centers, direct from the laboratory of new civilization, searching through France, Germany, Checho Slovakia, Poland, Letvia and Esthonio, Russia. Deflate inflated currency and infated deflated supplies, and then and not until then will all be well, a declaration made by Skeyhill upon his careful study. The Polish mark, normally five to the dollar, is now six hundred and fifty to the dollar, and still soaring. As indicated by the title, Skeyhill's lecture will deal with the new message which the Russian Revolution has and is "writing on the wall." Mrs. Martin with the $1000 Cinderella Slipper will be in Anaheim tomorrow at the Hotel Valencia and the S. Q. R. Store where she will meet any girl over 18 years of age who would care to compete for the golden slipper. ber of births in California in 1920 broke all previous records, according to a final tabulation announced today by L. E. Ross, director of the bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health. The births exceeded the deaths for the same period by more than 20,000, the tables showed. In 1919 there were 56,521 births in the state and 45,991 deaths. Last year there were 67,198 births and 47,124 deaths. Based on California's population as contained in the 1920 census, the birth rate for the year reached the highest point on record, 19.3 for every thousand inhabitants. The death rate of 13.5 per thousand, Ross said, is the lowest since 1909. In addition to the low death rate the infant mortality rate is low, according to Ross, who placed it at 75 per thousand inhabitants. There were 5,043 deaths of children under one year old. Infant mortality was lowest among the Chinese and Japanese and highest among the Indian children, the report shows. HOFFMAN GIVEN PERIOD IN JAIL A. H. Hoffman of Orange was sentenced yesterday to six months in the county jail for obtaining money under false pretenses. The sentence was given by Justice of the peace Cox. The complaint originally charged the crime of embezzlement. Hoffman pleaded guilty to the felony charge and asked for probation, which was denied. The charge was reduced, however, from a felony to a misdemeanor and the justice court penalty was imposed. HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE 1921 NO. 145.

The alliance will proceed on May 12 to occupy the Ruhr valley and to take other military and naval steps if Germany does not accept unequivocally, according to the ultimatum. Occupation of German territory will continue as long as Germany refuses to fulfill the conditions laid down by the allies. The note, signed by members of the supreme council and handed to German Ambassador Sthamer shortly before 11 a.m., today stated that the allies will proceed immediately with preliminary measures for occupation of the Ruhr valley. The detailed financial demand, prepared by the reparations commission INHERITANCE TAX BIGGEST IN COUNTY What is said to be the third largest inheritance tax recorded in Orange county was filed in the office of the county clerk here today by J.

Mr. Greenwald left property valued at $256,187.42, the inheritance tax of which will be $6491.42 less five per cent if paid within six months or plus ten per cent if not paid within 18 months.

Greenwald, minor son of Mr. Greenwald. MARRIAGE HABIT CAUSE OF GRIEF James Marshburn, colored, of Los Angeles, who confessed recently to a bigamy charge was granted a probation Wednesday by Judge Williams. Marshburn was sentenced to ten years in the state penitentiary, and is to be under probation for two years. If at the end of the two years, he has a record of good behavior, he can change his plea to not guilty, and the pending sentence will be dismissed. An amusing incident came up when the sentence was being given. Marshburn was asked how many times he had gone to the altar, and admitted he had been married three times. When the sentence was passed Judge Williams told him that one of the terms of probation was that he "get out of the marriage habit." RESERVES ARE TO TAKE A CRUISE RESERVES ARE TO TAKE A CRUISE There will be a Naval Reserve cruise Sunday, leaving San Pedro at 9 a.m., probably going to Catalina on Eagle boats 12 and 34. Return will be made about 5 p.m. These trips count for sea duty both for confirmation of rate and retainer's pay. Incidentally, reservists who are not receiving retainer's pay or back pay will get set aright by seeing either Lieut. J. B. Bile or Ensign F. C. Westgate who are in charge of all Orange county reserve officers. There are about 40 naval reservists in Anaheim. BOYS' BIKE RACES TO BE HELD SATURDAY An event of real interest to the bicycle fans of this section is that of the Kern Cycle Co., who announces that their third annual bicycle race, open to all boys from this section, is to be held Saturday. The event includes races of many kinds, long distance, relay, and many others. Many handsome prizes are given to the contestants which are well worth winning.

WILL SUBDIVIDE ACREAGE HERE FOR HOME W. P. Quarton, J. L. Clayes and H. W. Comstock have purchased the easter ten acres of the old Langenberge estate on North Lemon street, Anasheim. The property was bought of Henry Siemers. The purchasers plan to subdivide the tract into forty-five lots each 50 by 155 feet in size. The Langenberger estate is just north of the new twenty-acre city park site and it is considered that it will make an attractive subdivision. Plans call for much wider parking than those in other parts of the city. Clementine street will be continued through the tract. The forty-five lot will face on Lemon street and on both sides of Clementine. J. N. Monroe of Taft is registered at the Johnston-Wickett clinic. WEATHER FORECAST Tonight and Friday, rain.
