USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor ALARMING FACTS; STARVATION WAGES. Bishop Theodore S. Henderson of the Methodist Episcopal church declares that "there has been an alarming decrease of candidates for the ministry and the churches must begin a vigorous campaign to supply that need." There is a reason for this shortage of men volunteering their life's work to the service of mankind and the up-building of the Kingdom of God. One of the reasons is perhaps that a great majority of the ministers are compelled to live on starvation wages. Another reason perhaps is the fact that the Methodist church is split. There are two Methodist churches in nearly every city and hamlet in the Southern states. Two churches are doing the work of one, two pastors are doing what one could do. Perhaps that is one reason why there is a shortage of preachers in the Methodist conference. Another reason perhaps is the fact that church members are called upon to build orate and extravagantly furnished church buildings. Less money put in such edifices and more in the purge of the pastors will do more to invite new faces into the ministry. Unless a man is gifted with a strong and pleasing personality, good I. W. W. CONVENTION IN COLD AFFAIR COMPARED TO MEETINGS WITH RADICAL Chairman of Convention Declares Object of To Make One Big Union Out of All the Ones in the Country INTELLECTUAL HEADS ARE AMONG CHICAGO, May 10.—Wild eyed Reds of the country have gone thru the laundry of conservatism and have come out a faded pink. In other words, a radical isn't what he used to be. A visit to the annual convention of the Inudstrial Workers of the World here today demonstrated that conclusively. For instance, none of the 45 delegates carried t.n.t. bombs on their hips. Also, there were no printing presses turning out seditious literature by the ton. No long whiskered gentlemen, speaking in broken English, were numbered among the delegates. All the representatives talked the king's English and talked it mildly.

Another reason perhaps is the fact that church members are called upon to build orate and extravagantly furnished church buildings. Less money put in such edifices and more in the purge of the pastors will do more to invite new faces into the ministry. Unless a man is gifted with a strong and pleasing personality, good mixing ability and a good mind, his ministerial activity is not going to be productive either in acquiring comforts for himself and his family or toward the extension of the Kingdom of God. Men of such attributes are being rapidly drafted into other fields because of superior financial offers. This condition does not apply alone to the Methodist Episcopal church, and this view is not submitted as a criticism. It merely presents what the Anaheim Herald believes is a condition that must be overcome before the Word of God goes marching as it should. A house divided against itself cannot stand and the need to righteous life is not exemplified in costly buildings but is pointed out by a broad minded, big hearted, contented clergyman whose salary is adequate to give him the comforts of life. "FULLER PROONES"; TWISTED NEWS. A man in Washington, writer of "exclusive" news for the Los Angeles Times, says the breach between President Harding and Senator Hiram W. Johnson of California is growing wider. This he says is because the Senator is opposed to the blackmail payment to Colombia of $25,000,000 and the appointment of a man to government position who disregarded the primary preference during the presidential campaign. The Republicans last year claimed that the Democratic senators and members of the House were rubber stamps, because they did as their leader required. Republican campaigners charged that every time President Wilson ate an apple, the Democratic majority in the Senate had a stomach ache, so close was the harmony between them. Now comes Mr. Fuller Proones or some other "ex- For instance, none of the 45 delegates carried t.n.t. bombs on their hips. Also, there were no printing presses turning out seditious literature by the ton. No long whiskered gentlemen, speaking in broken English, were numbered among the delegates. All the representatives talked the king's English and talked it mildly. Advocates of the overthrow of the government were not present. Delegates advocated the acquisition of additional members and little else. The chief problem before the radicals was this: "How in the world are we going to scrape up the $75,000 to reimburse the bondsmen of our nine convicted brethren who failed to answer the roll call at Leavenworth prison." Up until the time of going to press, no answer was found to the question that is causing grave concern from WATER BOARD MET COMMITTEES; STOCK TRANSFERRED The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Water Company was held on Saturday, with directors Hale, Tuffree, Thamer, Anin, Miller, Rust and Holmes present. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Report of the finance committee was read and upon motion warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various demands. It was moved by Thamer, seconded by Miller, that a warrant be ordered drawn to Anaheim Gazette for $22.10. Report of the superintendent and treasurer was read and upon motion accepted and filed. Upon motion the following transfers of stock were granted: 6 shares Cassius E. King to be divided 1-2 share to Emil Kestenholtz and 1-2 share to Cassius E. King; J. J.

Republican campaigners charged that every time President Wilson ate an apple, the Democratic majority in the Senate had a stomach ache, so close was the harmony between them. Now comes Mr. Fuller Proones or some other "exclusive" writer in a long and laborious article condemning Senator Johnson, a Republican, because he does his own thinking and "disloyally" refuses to think the way the President thinks. One of the strongest elements in Hiram Johnson's make-up is his ability and determination to do his own thinking. May he ever be thus. We cannot imagine Hiram Johnson letting anyone think for him, not even an "exclusive" newspaper writer. The New York World believes the world will be better when the nations hammer out plowshares instead of swords and is gradually centering its aim for a great world disarmament campaign. More power to the New York World. It is a Democratic newspaper in every sense. General Wood is learning that the Filipino wants independence but with it, wants Uncle Sam to offer to hold the bag in case everything doesn't go along smoothly, alice samee Cuba. Uncle Sam has never been known to be unreasonable. One of the crimes of the age and one that should be stamped out is the agitator who is paid to agitate. George Washington never told a lie, but perhaps he never belonged to a fishing club. Mr. Bentley, representing F. A. Gillespie, came before the board regarding an oil lease on the Rivas and de Shorb tract. It was moved by Tuffree and seconded by Holmes that the company accept a release of the oil lease to F. A.

Brown, who was interviewed as to why the city hall was not blown to smithernies as the opening ceremony of the convention outlined the following platform of the I. W. W.'s: "The aim of the I. W. W. is to organize every worker of each industry into one big union." The I. W. W. gathering is without "intellectual leadership"—only... the rank, and file are present. Delegates all frankly admit they are through forever with "intellectuals," most of whom were sentenced to serve from one to twenty years in Leavenworth prison for violation of the espionage act. Nine of the 45 convicted I. W. W.'s skipped their bonds and failed to "dress in" at prison. SCHOOL CHILDREN TO BE ADMITTED FREE TO ORANGE SHOW Notice is going out today to the superintendent of instruction of Orange county, that all school pupils of grammar, primary and kindergarten units, will be allowed free admission to the orange show Monday afternoon, May 17, if in their regular scholastic units and accompanied by their instructors. The plan to afford the school children an opportunity to see the big show without cost is a good one. RIOT OF LIGHT IN BIG TENT ORANGE SHOW Thirty-Six Chandeliers Will Be Lighted with 33 Lamps Each For Evenings WORK GOES ON FAST Scores of skilled workmen are at work today putting finishing touches to the interior of the big tent to house the California Valencia Orange show, SOMETHING “FISHY” ABOUT FISH STORY GIVEN TO HERALD Yesterday the Anaheim Herald printed a story of an alleged fish catch Sunday last by seven prominent men of Anaheim. Today, the Herald received a letter from Balboa, signed by Rodgers Bros., who charter fishing boats. The letter is dated May 7, which was Saturday, and in substance, is as follows: "Anaheim Herald, Anaheim, Cal. The barracouda season was opened Sunday at Balboa by seven of Anaheim's best anglers, Messrs. E. H. Metcalf, G. W. Jackson, Robert Jensen, George Settler, J. T. Johnson, Emery Kneip and J. P. Probst, ninety-one fish being the catch for the morning's sport. Contributed by Rodgers Bros." What the average reader will probably want to know is, how could Rodgers Bros. or anyone else know on Saturday what seven men did on the following day when the day hadn't arrived yet? May 7, according to most calendars for 1921, arrived on Saturday and departed the same day. No one doubts the veracity of any of the seven gentlemen mentioned in the Rodgers' Bros. "allegation," but somehow it seems strange that the number of fish caught was known on Saturday, the day before the fisherman went fishing. LESLIE MEYERS IS KILLED IN TRACTOR ACCIDENT ON FARM Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Billig received word this morning from relatives at Freeport, Ill., of the death of Mrs. Billig's nephew, Leslie Meyers. Death was caused in an accident with a tractor. It seems that the disc was not working correctly and on trying to fix it while between the tractor and the disc his foot slipped, and the machine, being in reverse, started back. His foot was caught, hip bone broken also his two legs and arms were broken at the wrist. Internal injury was also sustained. Death was not instant for following the accident he got up and stopped the tractor then fell to the ground. Funeral services will be held in White Oak cemetery at Forreston, Ill., Friday. Mr. Meyers was well known among many of the Anaheim citizens who will be sorry to hear of his death. Until two weeks ago he was employed at the Hayward bank at Hayward, Calif., and left to take charge of his father's ranch. On the eastern trip of Mr. and Mrs. Billig's last year they visited relatives in Freeport. THIRTY-SIX CHandeliers Will Be Lighted with 33 Lamps Each For Evenings WORK GOES ON FAST Scores of skilled workmen are at work today putting finishing touches to the interior of the big tent to house the California Valencia Orange show, which opens in this city next Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. The office near the main entrance has been completed and Malcolm Fraser, manager of the Orange show, has established his headquarters there. The work of completing the interior of the big tent will now be carried on rapidly. A large force of electricians are at work hanging the great chandeliers of paper draped lights, 36 of which will be suspended from the top of the tent to give light during the evening. These chandeliers will be decorated with vari-colored paper tulips, with vari-colored festoons hanging from the rim of the chandeliers. When this is completed and when the lights are on, the interior of the tent will be a riot of color and a beautiful scene. There will be 33 lights in each chandelier, making a total of 1188 large candle power lights to illuminate the interior of the tent at night. The box office at the main entrance is also completed and the pillars are all installed along the highway in front of the tent. The booths and exhibition booths are going rapidly forward and Manager Fraser, as well as Chairman Stern see nothing in the way to retard the completion of the work before Saturday. FALLING TIRE RIM HITS MAN ON HEAD; DEATH FOLLOWS The coroners jury decided yesterday afternoon that the death of Mack Miller, 48, of Santa Ana, was caused by the dropping of an automobile rim on his head. Miller was in the employ of the Olivarril Vulcanizing Shop. He hung the rim of a Cadillac wheel upon a peg while he was vulcanizing the tire. The rim dropped off, striking him on the head. Death followed several weeks later, the doctors declaring that the wound on his head was the cause of Miller's death. CYPRESS DISTRICT WILLIAM RUSSELL ALL STAR TEAM IS TO PLAY ANAHEIM The Pasadena Elks' baseball team will not meet Anaheim Elks Sunday as announced in the Herald yesterday. It is not definitely known why the Pasadena players changed their minds about meeting the local players, but it is hinted that perhaps they suffered frozen feet after learning the news about the defeat of Tom Mix's players last Sunday. News travels fast, and no doubt Pasadena's player's heard of the Mix tragedy early Sunday evening, for just after the Herald went to press yesterday afternoon word was received that Pasadena had cancelled its engagement. Immediately upon hearing this news the Anaheim Elks' manager accepted the challenge of William Russell's all star team. Russell is another top liner in motion pictures and declares that he has an all-star team, but did not state whether they were baseball stars or motion picture White Oak cemetery at Forreston, Ill., Friday. Mr. Meyers was well known among many of the Anaheim citizens who will be sorry to hear of his death.

FOUR MEN DIE CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 10.—Four brothers, ranging in age from 12 to 21, were burned to death when their home was partly destroyed by fire today.

Gillespie ninety (90) days in which to remove his oil well rig, also grant Mr. Bentley the privilege at the end of 90 days of a new lease without a bonus, provided the company has not leased the above described tract, within the 90 days to another operator. Director Annin reported that the Cypress avenue pipe line between the north branch ditch and J. P. des Granges corner is not large enough to carry sufficient water to meet the demand. This was left to the ditch committee and the superintendent to investigate. President Hale recommended the following directors to serve on committees for the ensuing year: Finance committee: Thamer, Annin and Holmes. Ditch committee: Miller, Tuffree and Rust. Oil committee: Tuffree, Holmes and Annin. Pumping plant committee: Thamer, and Rust. It was moved by Thamer and seconded by Holmes that secretary be instructed to mail copy of the report of the advisory committee and a proxy together with a notice of the stockholders meeting on May 28, 1921. Upon motion the meeting was adjourned until 2 p.m., Saturday, May 14, 1921. CYPRESS DISTRICT CITIZENS PROTEST DRAINAGE CANAL At the regular weekly meeting of the board of supervisors Monday protests from residents of Cypress were heard against the proposed drainage canal to be constructed in the Cypress district. Plans and specifications were prepared by County Engineer J. L. McBride and were filed with the county clerk on May 5. The proposed drainage canal will cost approximately $220,742. This amount will be raised by 7 per cent bonds, the bonds to be payable in 20 yearly installments. K. L. Loucks, a civil engineer, who has been retained by the board of supervisors, upheld the proposed drainage system in the face of the protests of the residence of the Cypress district. Bids were also received from various contractors for the improvement of Lyon street and Glassel street. Nothing definite has as yet been done concerning the acceptance of the bids. That she would go to jail convicted of practicing medicine without a license was stated by Alice Huhn, Anaheim chiropractor, yesterday. Sue Amack, Anaheim chiropractor, will go to jail Thursday as a result of her conviction of practicing a mode of healing without a license from the state medical board. Miss Amack's friends are planning to give a picnic in her honor at Orange county park this evening. Information has leaked out, however, that leads Anaheim players to believe that the game next Sunday with Russell's players will be a fast one, for be it known that Bryan Houck, formerly with the Veron team of the Coast league, will toss for Russell's aggregation. Houck has been known to pitch many "no hit" games, and although Houck may have to play more or less without support, Anaheim Elks are not so sure that they will be able to find what Houck has in time to score enough runs to win. That's another story, anyhow, for next Monday. SPEEDER TAKEHIS TIME COMING INTO ORANGE COUNTY Tom Mix, film star who played baseball in Fullerton yesterday, is said to be a noted "speeder." When he drove sedately into Orange county at 25 miles per hour yesterday, Officer Myers asked the reason for the lack of speed. “You people have made a good boy out of me,” stated Mix. “Bebe Daniels’ ten days in jail has taught me a lesson.” HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE NO. 149. GERMANS BELIEVED READY ACCEPT LAST PROPOSAL ALLIED POWERS TROOPS AWAITING TO ADVANCE Dispatch From French Foreign Office in Berlin Indicates Germany will Accede to Demands Rather Than Invasion of Country Go Through FRENCH CARDINAL SAYS JUSTICE MUST OBTAIN RED CROSS NOW SEEKING MEN DISABLED J. H. Whitaker Seeks Names Of Disabled Men in This Section GOVERNMENT STARTS PARIS, May 10.—Berlin dispatches to the French foreign office today indicated Germany will accept the allies' ultimatum. The messages were not made public, but at the Quai D'Orsay it appeared to be accepted that the Germans will sign. French troops eagerly awaiting the word to advance, will be held at the border of the Ruhr Valley, prepared to march in if Germany shows signs of evading any of the terms. With only sixty hours remaining before expiration of the allied ultimatum, France was prepared for the "jump off." Plans for the invasion of the Ruhr Valley were complete to the last train schedule and gas mask. Indicative of French feeling was the letter of Cardinal Dubois. J. H. Whitaker Seeks Names Of Disabled Men in This Section GOVERNMENT STARTS The federal government, through the efforts of the American Red Cross, is starting work to find disabled service men who have not received proper and due attention from the government. This became known today when J. H. Whitaker, chairman of the Home Service Committee of the Anaheim Chapter of the American Red Cross, received a dispatch from George Filmer of San Francisco, manager of the Pacific division of the Red Cross. Mr. Whitaker is today seeking the information desired by the government and asks all who know of instances where ex-service men need governmental aid, call him at his office, phone 539 or call at room 205, Fisher building. The telegram received by Mr. Whitaker today explains fully what the government wants to learn with regard to ex-service men. It follows: "Government must know at once the number of ex-service men disabled through war service who need hospital care and are not getting it. Wire us 'collect' by May 11 the number of these men being aided by your chapter or other agencies, the number of men known to you as not being helped by anyone, and the number of men counted in these groups who refuse to present claims to the government. Write us details as soon as possible, the name and address and apparent disability concerning each man. The government depends on the Red Cross to aid in an effort to discover men not getting government care." Great pressure has been brought to bear on the president and congress to give aid to disabled ex-service men and recently President Harding announced that the government would proceed immediately to take care of word to advance, will be held at the border of the Ruhr Valley, prepared to march in if Germany shows signs of evading any of the terms. With only sixty hours remaining before expiration of the allied ultimatum, France was prepared for the "jump off." Plans for the invasion of the Ruhr Valley were complete to the last train schedule and gas mask. Indicative of French feeling was the letter of Cardinal Dubois of Paris, made public today. Addressing the arch bishop of Cologne, the cardinal said: "France's patience is exhausted. The people's sense of justice cannot be hurt with impunity. We demand only justice." There was great enthusiasm among the troops already gathered at Dusseldorf and the young men who are still pouring toward the border in troop trains. COPENHAGEN, May 10.—German armed forces have disarmed a French detachment of Koenigshutte, Silesia, according to a Warsaw dispatch today. Polish insurgents were reported in control of half the city, the Germans holding the other part. Germans, driven from Kanarzin after costly fighting, were reported again in possession of the place. Italian soldiers drove the Poles out, the dispatch said, and handed it over to the Germans. WOMEN WILL ATTEND Y. M. C. A. MEETING NEXT MONDAY For the first time since the organization of Y. M. C. A. work in Orange county, women are to be in attendance at the annual meeting to be held at the First Methodist church next Monday evening. The complete program probably will be available by Wednesday. Tickets are to be placed in the hands of various members of churches of the county and plans are being developed for accommodating a large number of men, women and children. The Rev. Roy S. Russell, pastor of the First Congregational church of San Diego, will be the principal speaker at the annual session. AVOCADO EXHIBIT AT ORANGE SHOW TO BE INTERESTING E. E. Knight, one of the best known growers of avocados in California, will take charge of the ten-foot rack space provided for that exhibit near the main entrance on the north front of the citrus department of the California Valencia Orange show. This is the only exhibit outside of the citrus fruits allowed in that department, and will be contributed to by avocado growers from the several Southern California counties excelling in that delicious and interesting fruit. Miss McNally of Altadena, secretary of the Southern California Avocado growers association, will visit the exposition in a day or two and make arrangements for the admission of some of the finest varieties from Los Angeles county and from the groves of some of her members in other counties. This promises to be the most complete and valuable collection of avocados ever seen in California, and the value of the fruit to be shown is not less than $2,000. The value of Canada's fisheries production last year amounted to fifty million dollars. BAND CONCERT IN ANAHEIM SATURDAY The Municipal band will give a concert Saturday night, May 14, under the direction and leadership of Earl Tozier. The program will be composed of the following numbers: March, "Mystic Potentate," Myers. Fantassee on "My Old Kentucky Home," Dalbey. Witmark's "Just a Week from Today," Trinkaus. Characteristic drum solo, "Oh, You Drummer," Hill; Charles Mason. Watson Berlin Synder, "Bright Eyes," Jerome. Patrol, "Blue and Grey," Dalbey. Leo Feist, "Feather Your Nest," Johnson.
