USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor ANAHEIM'S SHOW; A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. Tomorrow morning the California Valencia Orange show will be officially opened by President Harding, who will "discuss" the matter over long distance telephone with the officials of the show and talk personally with his sister, Mrs. E. E. Remsberg, of Santa Ana, who will be one of the honor guests of the officials. The opening of the show by President Harding will mark the first time a President has officially declared an exposition open by long distance telephone and this alone will give Anaheim a great and lasting amount of publicity. The gentlemen who have been working day and night to make the show a success have already been rewarded. Interest is keen all over Southern California and it seems a certainty that the 100,000 admission tickets ordered will be used within the six days the doors of the show will be open to the public. Unusual harmony and concerted effort has been shown by the men in charge of the orange show and they have displayed marked ability in assembling features to interest and entertain the thousands who will find their way to the big tent.

A man in Kentucky, after destroying over 3,000 pins and wasting three and a half years, has succeeded in inscribing the Lord's prayer on a pin head. There are 65 words of 254 letters and it is necessary to magnify the pin head 398 times in order to read the prayer. We may be dense and we may not appreciate the things we should, but if there is anything in that man's work of the past three and a half years that will do him any good or rest of the world, we fail to realize its importance. Men who direct their efforts toward accomplishing something that means nothing are not doing the world any good. We have never been able to realize why men died and men suffered in an effort to reach the north and south poles. Peary reached the north pole, but so far, we have heard of nothing it has accomplished for the world. Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been spent in efforts to reach the poles and many lives have been sacrificed. The latest foolhardy thing, in our opinion, is this man who spent three and a half years to inscribe the head of a pin with the Lord's prayer. The Lord's prayer, known to most of us by heart, deserves a larger place than on the head of a pin, if it is to be inscribed in a manner that consumes such a great length of time. Many of these things men do remind us of a child trying to catch fish with a pin on a string hung in a water bucket. MILLS OF JUSTICE; THE EYES OF THE WORLD. People who transgress, eventually pay the price. Any man or woman who cares to take the time to delve into the past will find that for every transgression, he or she has paid a NO INSURANCE COLLECTED BY WIFE Woman Charged with Slaying Four Husbands Tells Of Her Innocence WILLING FOR TRIAL HONOLULU, T. H., May 16.—Mrs. Lydia Southard, held as an alleged feminine "Bluebird," charged with the murder of four husbands and a brother-in-law, today held firmly to her claim that she was a natural typhoid carrier and that her husbands died of typhoid fever contracted from her. "After I am proven innocent I will sue my accusers on the mainland for damages," she declared in an exclusive statement for the United Press. "I never had typhoid fever myself, but I am convinced that my husbands contracted it from me. Scientists say I can be a carrier without being affected. As to my collecting insurance policies when my husbands died, I never collected any, although I had some due me. There was some talk after my last husband died and that was why I had an inquest then." Mrs. Southard asked Chief of Detectives Arthur McDuffie what kind of poison she was charged with using. "Why, I understand it was the kind they kill weeds with," McDuffie answered. "They'll have to prove that," Mrs. Southard commented. Mrs. Southard refused to attend religious services in the jail yesterday. "I don't care for that sort of thing," she told the jail matron. The matron is kept with her constantly. Mrs. Southard now eats and associates with the other women prisoners and is given the liberty of the jail. Yesterday she signed a statement for MILLS OF JUSTICE; THE EYES OF THE WORLD. People who transgress, eventually pay the price. Any man or woman who cares to take the time to delve into the past will find that for every transgression, he or she has paid a price. We find that we reap as we sow, although we are not always paying in kind for things we do against the laws of God and man. A woman now being held in Honolulu is charged with the murder of four husbands and a brother-in-law. Whether or not she is guilty, remains to be seen. It is charged that she poisoned all four husbands at times when they were ill and were being attended by physicians. It is alleged that she put poison in their medicine and that attending physicians issued death certificates, thinking their patients had died from the disease being treated. The woman declares she believes she is a typhoid carrier, because all her husbands died of typhoid fever. All of her husbands were carrying life insurance in various sums. We hope this woman is not guilty of the outrages crimes charged. If she is guilty, she should pay the price by spending the balance of her days where she cannot acquire husbands and later acquire life insurance funds by the process of eliminating the husband from among those present on this earth. The most careful criminals eventually slip and then the web they have been weaving around themselves is tightened and their outlook becomes very gloomy. RUNAWAY GIRLS ON INCREASE IN U. S. CHICAGO, May 16.—Blame for runaway daughters was placed squarely upon the shoulders of parents today by Mrs. Alice Clemons, Chicago's famous police woman. Mrs. Clemons issued a warning to the nation's parents to prevent their girls from leaving home. Girls, suffering from a spring restlessness, are disappearing in greater numbers than even before, she said. Two hundred cases of missing girls have been reported to Chicago police this spring. GREENFIELD, Ind.—Charles Nye tried to catch some speeders as they whizzed through here by grabbing the extra tires on the rear of the auto. It is thought he will recover. LA FAYETTE, Ind.—J. H. Shock, principal of the Jefferson high school, was shocked when girl students rolled down their stockings and showed the dimples in their knees. He sent them home. And what doth it profit a man to impress the neighbors and live in terror of bill collectors. "They'll have to prove that," Mrs. Southard commented. Mrs. Southard refused to attend religious services in the jail yesterday. "I don't care for that sort of thing," she told the jail matron. The matron is kept with her constantly. Mrs. Southard now eats and associates with the other women prisoners and is given the liberty of the jail. Yesterday she signed a statement formally waiving extradition.

STILL NEED ROOMS FOR VISITORS AT THE ORANGE SHOW Have you a room you can spare to rent to someone who will be here this week attending the orange show? If so, telephone to J. W. Whitaker, chairman of the information committee. His number is 539. "We want to list all the rooms we can get," said Mr. Whitaker today, "so that we can care for our visitors. It is hoped those who have spare rooms, whether they make a practice of renting them or not, will make them available during this week." A great many have listed their rooms, according to Mr. Whitaker, but there is a demand for more. WOMAN JURORS WILL TRY WOMAN WHO KILLED MAN CHICAGO, May 16.—The date of the trial of Mrs. Cora Orthwein, pretty affinity slayer, charged with killing Herbert C. Zeigler, Goodyear Tire and THRIFT DRIVE HERE IN MARCH BRINGS FORTH MANY INQUIRIES When Anaheim observed President Harding's inauguration with a thrift campaign on last March 4th, it was declared Anaheim would receive great publicity over the country, and it has, through the agency of the motion pictures taken during the day. Today, the First National bank of Anaheim received a letter from Wm. M. Smith, president of the Mitchell National bank of Mitchell, South Dakota, asking the local bank officials how the drive was accomplished and asked what results were obtained. H. H. Benjamin, cashier of the First National bank will write to President Smith of the Mitchell National bank today and tell him that the thrifty people of Anaheim and the banks, aided by the Anaheim Herald did the work, and that 898 new accounts were opened in the various banking institutions of the city. Mr. Benjamin will also tell him of the co-operation of the principals of the schools, the Chamber of Commerce, the business and professional men, the band and the kiddies. It was estimated March 5th, the day Premier Lloyd George: "The peace of Europe is threatened by the situation. The Germans have a right to use their forces to preserve order." Premier Aristide Briand: "France could not remain neutral if German, forces entered Silesia." Adalbert Korfanty, Polish leader: "Anarchy will reign if Poland is given less than she demands. If the Germans come they will be slaughtered." PARIS, May 16—Premier Briand will threaten France's withdrawal from the entente with Great Britain persists in her "anti-Polish" attitude. Briand refused to meet Premier Lloyd George until he has obtained a vote of confidence from the chambers of deputies, permitting him to exert the utmost pressure. Briand and Lloyd George probably will hold a private interview at Boulogne after the chamber meets Thursday. Lloyd George asked for the conference to settle the differences of the two countries in the Upper Silesian controversy. It was predicted here that the meeting will be of the stormiest nature, Briand being thoroughly aroused ever Lloyd George's statement before the house of commons, a statement made without consulting French interests. Briand will demand that France be supported in her plan to keep the rich coal lands of Silesia, away from the Germans. He will go further and demand that France have the determining voice in settling all continental matters involved in the Versailles treaty. SCHOPPINITZ, Upper Silesia, May 16.—"Anarchy will reign up Upper Silesia if Germany is permitted to send troops into the country," Adalbert Korfanty, Polish leader, declared today in an interview, with the United Press. "The Germans will be slaughtered if they advance," he declared. A division of Upper Silesia, giving Poland less than she claims will result in anarchy." Korfanty said he planned to retire as soon as the allies reach a decision regarding Upper Silesia. "But if the decision is not just," WOMAN JURORS WILL TRY WOMAN WHO KILLED MAN CHICAGO, May 16.—The date of the trial of Mrs. Cora Orthwein, pretty affinity slayer, charged with killing Herbert C. Zeigler, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. executive is set today. Mrs. Orthwein is to appear in court in company with her attorney, Ben Short. The defendant, who is charged with manslaughter, was well-known in Chicago's night life before the tragedy. Her luxurious apartment on the "Gold Coast" was the frequent scene of many gay parties. Following the death of Ziegler, Mrs. Orthwein told police, "I loved Herb, and I killed him." She will ask freedom on the ground of self-defense, claiming that Zeigler, in a drunken frenzy, broke into her apartment after she left him at a drinking party in a cabaret. The state charged she killed Ziegler after he told her that he was going back to his family and give up the old life. Prosecuting Attorney Heth announced that he will attempt to get a woman jury to try Mrs. Orthwein. "Men juries always acquit affinity-slayers," said Heth. "I am anxious to see what the reaction of a woman jury would be." EIGHTEEN ARE SEEKING NATURALIZATION IN SANTA ANA Eighteen aliens who desire citizenship in the United States are being examined today before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. Nine Germans are included in the number and will be the first naturalization hearing since America's entrance in the world war, in which Germans have been given consideration. Joseph Yager, a German from Fullerton, was one of the first to come up for examination. His application was denied because of the fact that he registered in the draft questionnaire as an alien enemy. His first President Smith of the Mitchell National bank today and tell him that the thrifty people of Anaheim and the banks, aided by the Anaheim Herald did the work, and that 898 new accounts were opened in the various banking institutions of the city. Mr. Benjamin will also tell him of the co-operation of the principals of the schools, the Chamber of Commerce, the business and professional men, the band and the kiddies. It was estimated March 5th, the day after the drive ended that $50,000 had been deposited in savings accounts during the day of the drive. DAMAGE SUIT NOW BEING HEARD IN SANTA ANA COURT The suit of Noel Newton, who seeks to recover damages for $8,321.95 from A. N. Cox of Los Angeles for injuries it is alleged his wife received in an automobile collision here in November, 1920, is heard today before Superior Judge Z. B. West. According to the complaint Cox is responsible for the accident by driving across the intersection at Grand avenue and Seventeenth street, Santa Ana. Newton asserts that due to Cox's alleged careless and reckless driving, the accident occurred, and due to the accident, Mrs. Newton has suffered great pain, nervous shock and bodily injury. BILLIARD PARLOR TO OPEN TOMORROW Carl Vanatta and T. L. Hoag have completed arrangements for the opening of their new place of business tomorrow, the V. & H. Billiard Parlors, in the basement of the new Kroeger building, West Center street. The proprietors are both well known young men of this town and they have installed modern, up-to-date equipment. Tomorrow evening they have planned a most interesting program for the benefit of their patrons. COX SAYS "GIVE 'EM A CHANGE OF SPEAKING." Korfanty said he planned to retire soon as the allies reach a decision regarding Upper Silesia. "But if the decision is not just," he declared, "if it does not give Poland the territory marked by the Korfanty line anarchy will follow." Korfanty's trial led the correspondent a long chase through the mountainous Silesian country. His followers everywhere gave misleading directions. Some said he was at the front, actively commanding the Polish insurgents. Others said he had gone to Paris to negotiate directly with the allies. Korfanty was far from being the corrupt, content man who represent Pland prior to the plebiscite. He was nervous and thin, clearly worried by the attitude of Great Britain as made plain last Friday by Premier Boyd George. "We don't intend to fight the allies," said. "We will demobilize at less and Rybnik if they want us to." But the Germans will be slaughtered if they attempt to counter attack us." Korfanty complained that the allied troops had not aided him. The Italian and British forces could clear the situation immediately if they would side with the Poles, he said. Korfanty's shabby aide de camp, general Doliva, echoed his chief's words. "We'll stand for nothing less than just decision," he sad. "We won't consider the award of this little Southern section of Upper Silesia as a just decision. If they try that—" threat was not completed. R. Y. Williams. Nine Germans are included in the number and will be the first naturalization hearing since America's entrance in the world war, in which Germans have been given consideration. Joseph Yager, a German from Fullerton, was one of the first to come up for examination. His application was denied because of the fact that he registered in the draft questionnaire as an alien enemy. His first naturalization papers have been cancelled and he was told that he would be obliged to go through the process of naturalization again. SEEKING $3714 AS DAMAGES TO WIFE IN BOAT ACCIDENT Alleging that Alvertta Sleeper of Redlands received injuries to the extent of $3,714.75, H. E. Sleeper will appear as plaintiff in a civil suit against the Balboa Land and Water Company. It is asserted in the complaint, that Mrs. Sleeper was taken to visit the United States torpedo boat "Tarbell" on the passenger boat belonging to the water company, and that due to the carelessness of the man in charge of the ferry, suffered painful injuries that have made her an invalid. It is also stated in the complaint that Mr. Sleeper was prevented from working for some time due to the fact that the accident necessitated spending a great deal of time caring for his wife. LAST STRAW WASHINGTON, May 16.—The validity of the prohibition amendment was reaffirmed by the supreme court today. COX SAYS "GIVE 'EM A CHANCE" SPEAKING OF THE REPUBLICANS NEW YORK, May 16.—"Let 'em alone—for the present." This sums up the attitude of James M. Cox, democratic leader, toward the republican administration, as given in an exclusive interview with the United Press here today. Cox is in favor of giving the administration a chance to "make good." "The country had enough of political sabotage during the last term of President Wilson," he said. "There will be plenty of time for the democrats to perform the function of an opposition party after the republicans have had an opportunity to demonstrate their capacity for running the government." Cox made it plain that he did not wish to assume the role of a critic of the present administration. The only statement he would make regarding American representation upon the Supreme Council, Council of Ambassadors and reparations commission was that "it is impossible for us to keep out of it." MILWAUKEE, Wis.—The name was all the paradise she got when she married, according to the suit of Edna H. Paradise, for allmony from her husband. HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE NO. 154. FOR BIG OPENING BIG TENT HOUSES DISPLAYS RIOT OF COLOR, SEETHING WITH MEN PUTTING LAST TOUCH ON EXHIBITS Success of Show Assured by Popular Interest Being Shown by Thousands in Anaheim, Orange County And Southern California in General PHONE MESSAGE ARRANGED WITH HARDING The California Valencia Orange Show, at the hour of going to press, is as nearly finished, as is possible at this time, and all concessionaries and exhibitors will be working all night to have everything ready for the big ceremony by long distance phone from Washington, D.C., at 10 o'clock. A strict rule, barring all visitors until the opening of the show is being enforced for the reason that exhibitors cannot put in the Finishing touches if any disturbances are permitted. States. The President will open the show by long distance telephone from Washington, 1 o'clock, eastern time, which corresponds with the opening hour printed here. His message will be received by Charles C. Chapman, honorary president of the show, Mrs. E. E. Remsberg of Santa Ana, sister of the President, and Wm. Sark, mayor Anaheim, and immediately announced to the waiting assemblage. This is the first time in the history of the world that an exposition has been opened by a chief executive, impelling his own voice over more than two thousand miles of telephone Show, at the hour of going to press, is as nearly finished, as is possible at this time, and all concessionaries and exhibitors will be working all night to have everything ready for the big ceremony by long distance phone from Washington, D.C., at 10 o'clock. A strict rule, barring all visitors until the opening of the show is being enforced for the reason that exhibitors cannot put in the Tinishing touches if any disturbances are permitted. All day Sunday, Mr. Lewis, radio superintendent of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, Los Angeles, was busy perfecting all wires over which the President's message will come. He spent several hours, talking to Chicago and intermediate points. The enunciation of the second operator, put on at Chicago, was so clear that it sounded like one from the Valencia hotel. The lady was talking into a desk phone at Chicago office, and reported that the weather was overcast and a low temperature prevailed at Chicago. She said that she wished she was in California among the orange groves. Salt Lake reported bad weather but the line was very clear and the voice could be heard quite distinctly. Officials of the company in San Francisco and all the principal points where the engineering corps of the company is maintained were listening on the line and many local people listened in with great interest. It is stated that the President's message over this long distance line will involve the use of many scores of persons, and the work here has taken four solid days. As this is the first time such a message has ever been sent, since the perfection of the trans-continental long distance telephone, the scientific world is on the qui-vive and the story will receive unlimited publicity. The full load of electricity, excepting on the sides of the racks, was carried out for a few moments last night and the users of electricity in Anaheim noticed the fact perceptibly. The view from the gangway through which visitors enter the exposition is in an entrancing manner, and pictures the human idea of fairyland probably as comprehensively and beautifully as ever was attempted anywhere. Several who visited the Chicago Auto Show recently held and which was said to have furnished the finest exposition decorative scene ever put on in the United States, enthusiastically declared that for its size, the California Valencia Orange offers even greater charm to the eye. In the industrial department, an auxiliary bandstand has been constructed under the direction of Chairman H. E. W. Barnes of the entertainment committee so that crowds in both ends of the exposition will be held, and there will not be the constant shifting of people which has been experienced at other shows, much LOS ANGELES MAN GIVES HIMSELF TO SHERIFF JACKSON Charles H. Freshman, drove up to the sheriff's office this morning in his Ford coupe and requested that he be allowed to go to jail. He said that the federal court in Los Angeles had sentenced him to nine months in jail and had told him to come down to Santa Ana. He was told that his commitment papers would be sent later. The officials at the sheriff's office seemed a bit surprised at the method in Los Angeles of sending a criminal to jail but after some deliberation, took him in. FORGERY CASE IN COURT YESTERDAY RECENTLY held and which was said to have furnished the finest exposition decorative scene ever put on in the United States, enthusiastically declared that for its size, the California Valencia Orange offers even greater charm to the eye. In the industrial department, an auxiliary bandstand has been constructed under the direction of Chairman H. E. W. Barnes of the entertainment committee so that crowds in both ends of the exposition will be held, and there will not be the constant shifting of people which has been experienced at other shows, much to the chagrin of industrial exhibitors. In this particular the California Valencia Orange show will stand out in exposition history. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, A. W. Reeves will call on Howard Gates for a beautiful bouquet to be carried by Mrs. Remsberg, of Santa Ana, the President's sister. Mr. Reeves will then call for Mrs. Remsberg in an automobile, provided by the Studebaker agency and bring her to the expositions gates at 9 o'clock. Within a few minutes after this time, the Los Angeles correspondents of Selznick, Kinogram, Fox, International and Pathe motion picture weeklies will rehearse the ceremony to be carried out by President Harding from Washington. The visitors who will be privileged to hear the President will be seated at an 80 foot table provided for that purpose, and place receivers at their ears so that photographers can have every assurance of getting what they want of this novel ceremony. Representatives of all Los Angeles papers will be on hand to make still pictures. Dr. Bessica Raische reports that about 300 badies will be registered and there will be plenty of doctors and nurses on hand who will examine and score them. Parents are requested to bring their babies in, plenty ahead of the appointment hour. The afternoon programs will be well worth while and all mothers who possibly can stay are requested to do so. There will be all attendants necessary to take care of the children that mothers wish to leave in their care for which a nominal charge will be made. The program will be followed very closely.

Rudolph is charged with cashing three worthless checks, one on the First National bank of Santa Ana for $64.50, and the other two for $48.50 each. The first was signed Henry Dickman, and made payable to Fred Schader. The second was on the First National bank of Orange and the name of W. S. Stanley was signed to the check, and was made payable to C. A. Willard. The third was made to B. A. Ward and was signed by R. L. Collins. The complaint alleges that Rudolph forged the names on the three checks. NEW YORK. — Sign on Joseph Boenisch's tailor shop read: "This place closed for the night."
