USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII, EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor SHAME BRISBANE; STICK TO THE TRUTH. Arthur Brisbane writes a column in all the Hearst newspapers. His column is probably the most interest, ing one of its kind in the United States, if not in the whole world. He has millions of readers who laugh with him, condemn with him and agree with him in nearly everything he says. For the reason Mr. Brisbane has so many readers, and so many who allow him to form their opinions, he should adhere to fact at all times. This he does generally, but today his foot slipped. Mr. Brisbane says in today's column "the nation learns with horror that one may be a leading prohibitionist, yet not all virtuous. The Rev. S. J. Catts, elected governor of Florida, 'to redeem the state,' in 1916, on a prohibition platform, is a fugitive from justice." Catts is a fugitive from justice, but he was not elected on a prohibition platform. W. V. Knott was the prohibition candidate and was defeated by Catts, who gained office on the plea that if elected, he would compel all the Catholic priests to marry, and BURGLAR WAS ROUTED BY A BOY'S YELL Mitchell Home Invaded at 3 O'clock This Morning; Prowler Escapes BOY SHOWS BRAVERY The home of Fred F. Mitchell. 717 South Los Angeles street, was entered this morning at 3 o'clock by a burglar who left without securing loot, because Mitchell's boy, Lawrence, saw the man leaving the upstairs hall and yelled to his mother. The burglar rushed down stairs two steps at a time and left the house by the way of the back door, which he had opened after entering one of the downstairs. Young Lawrence saw the man when he entered his room, but was too frightened to sound an alarm: He thought first that his mother was in the room, as she often goes about the rooms at night to see that the children are all right. Upon looking intensely for a minute, Lawrence saw Catts is a fugitive from justice, but he was not elected on a prohibition platform. W. V. Knott was the prohibition candidate and was defeated by Catts, who gained office on the plea that if elected, he would compel all the Catholic priests to marry, and that he would free the nuns from the convents, where they were held. He said, against their wills. The backwoods "crackers" and the disgruntled element of the democratic party in Florida elected Catts when it was openly charged and never denied that before going to Florida, he was convicted of selling bootleg whisky to negroes in Alabama. Mr. Brisbane, it will be remembered, attempted at one time to fight prohibition on the "beer and wine" plea. He advocated beer and wine and made faces at whisky and strong drink. The Washington newspaper that he was credited with owning, investigation proved, was purchased through loan from brewers. It was quite natural for Mr. Brisbane to want the people to be in favor of light wines and beer, especially beer, when he was so friendly to brewers and brewers were so kind to him. More than that, Mr. Brisbane caused the name of practically every editor in the United States to be placed on the free mailing list of his Washington newspaper. It was thoughtful of him, but suddenly, after the investigation in Washington, the newspapers were stricken from the free mailing list. Arthur Brisbane wields a wonderful pen, but when he resorts to fiction at the expense of fact, he betrays the confidence of his millions of readers. The sting of defeat abides with the powerful while the humble forget. HARVEY TALKS; ENGLAND LISTENS. Great Britain and the world learned last night, through George Harvey, United States ambassador to the Court of St. James that the United States will not enter the league of nations. After the jolt was digested by the British representatives present, Harvey assured them that allrence saw the man leaving the upstairs hall and yelled to his mother. The burglar rushed down stairs two steps at a time and left the house by the way of the back door, which he had opened after entering one of the downstairs. Young Lawrence saw the man when he entered his room, but was too frightened to sound an alarm. He thought first that his mother was in the room, as she often goes about the rooms at night to see that the children are all right. Upon looking intensely for a minute, Lawrence saw a tall, slim man with dark clothes approach the bureau in his room and with a flashlight look into the drawers. A handkerchief was tied around the man's face up to the middle of the nose. The burglar left Lawrence's room and entered the next room, occupied by Mabel Mitchell, where he tarried a minute and then came out into the hall. When the man reached the hall, Lawrence thought it time to give an alarm. Mr. Mitchell responded to the call, armed with a revolver, but was too late. The burglar had gained the first floor and escaped. Investigation immediately proved that the burglar had taken nothing. Two purses on the first floor were overlooked. A piece of paper found on the floor of the Mitchell home after the incident early this morning indicates that the burglar recently purchased a flashlight, for the paper was the wrapping usually found wrapped around searchlights. On this theory, the officers are attempting to learn the identity of the man who purchased a flashlight in this city or vicinity. As stated in the Anaheim Herald Saturday, crooks of all kinds assemble during shows such as Anaheim's orange show, and householders cannot be too careful about leaving things where burglars may find them. SAN BERNARDINO SHOW OFFICIALS GUESTS, ANAHEIM President Bell and General Manager F. M. Renfro of the National Orange Show of San Bernardino, with over 40 other members of the San Bernardino orange show committees, were guests last night at a banquet at the Oyster Loaf, of some of the directors of the Anaheim Valencia Orange show. A short cabaret program was given in which Antoinette Friend gave some of her Spanish dance numbers. And following the banquet, the guests were taken to Anaheim's big show where they took in all the exhibits HARVEY TALKS; ENGLAND LISTENS. Great Britain and the world learned last night, through George Harvey, United States ambassador to the Court of St. James that the United States will not enter the league of nations. After the jolt was digested by the British representatives present, Harvey assured them that although America does not care to join their association, America will be an interested participant in all things that make for peace and progress. Harvey could have gone farther, we believe, and assured the British people that when the time comes for the nations to discuss real peace and disarmament, the United States will enter with them and disarm the world for the good of all nations. We have all read of the so-called Kentucky feuds and we have all felt that ignorance reigned where those feuds existed. The same ignorance reigns in Europe today between various nations. There seems to be no sincere effort on the part of the European nations to call a halt to the unnecessary waste of life. The wings of the dove of peace have been clipped too long, and even now when disarmament is projected in the plan for world peace, we see certain European nations trying to pull the tail feathers of the dove to impair its flight over the world. There are too many so-called diplomats sitting on the shirt-tail of progress velling "whoa" to look for peace any time soon. Greed still warps the minds of the mighty. Brevity used to be the soul of wit but now it's the soul of style. President Bell and General Manager F. M. Renfro of the National Orange Show of San Bernardino, with over 40 other members of the San Bernardino orange show committees, were guests last night at a banquet at the Oyster Loaf, of some of the directors of the Anaheim Valencia Orange show. A short cabaret program was given in which Antoinette Friend gave some of her Spanish dance numbers and following the banquet, the guests were taken to Anaheim's big show where they took in all the exhibits and entertainments. They were most enthusiastic over the Anaheim show and congratulated the directors for putting on a finished show in such a short time and with little preparation. Early in the evening, 30 members of the Colton Chamber of Commerce arrived at the Anaheim show to get a glimpse of the display and show that has been given so much favorable publicity during the past week. The Colton Chamber is putting on a show beginning next Monday. DUST FOR WALNUT APHIS HELPS GROPS Although a considerable reduction in the walnut crop was occasioned by frost and inclement weather conditions during the month of April, the Agricultural Exchange Service is recommending that where walnut aphis should show up in large numbers, dusting should be done. It has been conclusively demonstrated during the past three years that the effects of aphis are found reflected more in the succeeding crop than in the crop of the current season. A severe attack of aphis may be expected to result in more No.2 nuts and much weaker fruit buds the following year. Dusting is advised as soon as twelve or fifteen aphis to the leaf are found. The standard material advised is 1 1/2 per cent Nico dust, usually applied by means of a power blower. THE VALENCIA ORANGE SHOP AHEIM DAILY HERALD AGES - ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1921 GIRL BRIDE WILL NOT BE TRIED FOR MURDER FARMINGTON, Mo., May 20.—The charges of murder against Letta Parson, the "baby bride of the Ozarks," was dismissed today. The 13-year-old girl wife, accused of killing her six-year-old step-child, Lilly, was held in custody, however, and will have to face trial on a charge of fourth-degree manslaughter in connection with the slaying. Trial will be in the juvenile court. Prosecution attorneys decided to dismiss the murder charges when Judge Houck ruled that the girl was too young to be tried in circuit court, where she would have faced a death sentence, if found guilty. Letta, the "baby bride of the Ozarks," watched listlessly while country lawyers battled over technicalities preliminary to the court's decision. The age of the girl-wire, who was accused of slaying her 6-year-old step-daughter, was the question over which the attorneys wrangled. Prosecution attorneys attempted to show the girl was 18 while her lawyers presented a tattered and torn family Blite to prove her contention that she was only 13. If she is 18 she would be tried in circuit court and if found guilty. GREAT BRITAIN HAS HEARD UNCLE SAM Ambassador Harvey Tells Europe U. S. Will Not Join in League TAKES FAVORABLY LONDON, May 20.—Great Britain today accepted its as as fact that America will join the league of nations. The message was given here by Ambassador Harvey in his address last night speaking before the Pilgrims and a number of high British officials. The Times said: "The allies will meet America more than half way. Disappointment will be caused by his outspoken differences to the league of nations, but at least we know where we stand." "The league has its own sphere which should not estrange American feeling nor lessen respect for its endeavors." HERE'S HISTORY VALENCIA ORANGE ANAHEIM INDUSTRY The history and the origin of the Valencia orange is interesting and more or less remote. The Valencia orange has been grown in California only since about 1875. Its original home was in the Azores Islands, off the coast of Spain. A Mr. Thomas of England first took a tree to England. He kept it in a glass house and there it was nothing more or less than a curiosity. That was in about 1870. Soon after this period, a Mr. Parsons of Long Island, N. Y., bought some trees from a Mr. Rivers and took them to Florida thinking that climate and soil would be similar to that of the native land of the Valencia. A few years later, some of the trees were exhibited at the Florida Fruit Growers' association headquarters where a gentleman from San Gabriel, Cal., was struck by them and had some shipped to his California home, thinking they were a cultivated variety of the navel orange. However, as they grew, blossomed and bore fruit, he noted the imported trees were different from his other trees, particularly in their time or bearing, which was several months later than the navels. As he and a Great Throngs Invade the Big Tent Covering Anaheim’s Wonderful Show The age of the girl-wire, who was accused of slaying her 6-year-old step-daughter, was the question over which the attorneys wrangled. Prosecution attorneys attempted to show the girl was 18 while her lawyers presented a tattered and torn family Bible to prove her contention that she was only 13. If she is 18 she would be tried in circuit court and if found guilty would face a death sentence. Letta was ready for the court room early today. She talked with relatives and embraced her husband, John Parsons, the "wood chopper of Iron Mountain." She killed Lilly, Persons’ daughter by a former marriage, five days after the wedding. WINS VERDICT FOR AN ALLEGED INJURY TO HIS WIFE H. E. Sleeper of Long Beach was awarded $3700 damages from the Balboa Land and Water Company, when the jury decided that the injuries sustained by Mrs. Sleeper were due to negligence on the part or the defendant company. Mrs. Sleeper sustained injuries that are said to have made her a permanent invalid when she was on the passenger boat owned and operated by the Balboa company. The amount named in the complaint is said to have been due for hospital and doctor's expenses and for time that Mr. Sleeper was kept from his work due to his wife's need of care and attention. Clyde Bishop, attorney for the defense, announced this morning that he would make a motion for a new trial. SAN DIEGO, Cal—Swimmers hereabouts can’t be bothered with bathing suit “blue laws.” Nearest approach of any sort toward regulation was found on a sign which reads: “Bathing without suits prohibited, on this beach! Use beach to south!” Ambassador Harvey in his address last night speaking before the Pilgrims and a number of high British officials. The Times said: “The allies will meet America more than half way. Disappointment will be caused by his outspoken differences to the league of nations, but at least we know where we stand. "The league has its own sphere which should not estrange American feeling nor lessen respect for its endeavors." “Nobody on this side cesres to prescribe the channels in which American good will shall flow,” the Chronicle declared, “but gratitude to America does not mean that we shall abandon the league.” The Daily News praised Harvey for not confining himself to conventional courtesies. He knew his hearers wanted to learn the truth, it said. The News expressed perplexity over the American attitude on the league, pointing out that the United States rejects the league, but wants an association of nations; wants an international court for disarmament, but will not look to the league for help in that cause. “是It policy or politics,” it asked, “and if politics is it international or domestic?” PURSE SNATCHER NOW DOING BUSINESS IN SANTA ANA Miss Carrie Alsbach, a bookkeeper in the William F. Lutz Company’s office, Santa Ana, left the office for a period of five minutes yesterday afternoon, and on returning found that her purse had disappeared. The purse contained 50 cents in silver, a cancelled check for $3000 and one for $2200, two bank books, a pocket mirror and 5 Liberty bond coupons. The purse, minus the coupons and the pocketbook, was found in the garage of the Meyer apartments last night when one of the tenants drove his car into the apartment garage. It was turned over to the police this morning by William Elliott, manager of the Meyer apartments. A C. Foy, Anaheim chiropractor who is accused of practicing a mode of healing without a license from the state medical board, was arraigned before Superior Judge Z. B. West this morning. He pleaded not guilty, and the date for trial was set at June 14. D. Phillip Dudley, a chiropractor from Orange was arraigned on the same offense. His trial was set for June 15 Griffith Jones, Los Angeles lawyer, who is acting as attorney for the Progressive Chiropractors’ Association, is to act as counsel in both cases. CALDWELL GUILTY STATUTORY CRIME Clarence Coldwell was declared guilty of a statutory offense last night at 10 o'clock, after nearly five hours deliberation by the jury. Caldwell was originally charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The jury, however, determined that no violence was used in the crime. Time for the passing of judgment was set for Tuesday May 24, and bail was reduced to $2500.

Presbyterian General Assembly Rejects Plan to Recognize Women FAILS DECISIVELY WINONA LAKE, Ind., May 20. — Women must keep their seats in the "amencorners" and remain without a voice in church government. The hand that rocks the cradle may rule the temporal world but the authority in the spiritual world must remain with the men. Agitation for women's rights, which has placed them in the legislative halls and allowed them to don the black robes of the judiciary, has failed thus far to make an impression in the conduct of ecclesiastical affairs. Returns from the plebiscite, taken among the million and a half members of the Presbyterian church, and reported to the general assembly here today, showed that movement to allow women to sit as commissioners in the assembly, was beaten decisively. Dr. S. Hall Young, revered Presbyterian minister of New York, has given a life time in battling for the right of women to sit in church councils, but his campaign has been futile. Dr. Henry C. Swearingen of St. Paul took the chair as moderator today at the opening of the second session of the assembly. A keen race developed between Dr. Hugh Macauley of Patterson, N. J., and Dr. Benjamin Gemmill of Philadelphia for the post of state clerk, the highest executive office in the Presbytery. The executive commissioners favor putting the election off until next year but friends of the two contenders are trying to stampede their candidates through. Attempts will be made to make the position for five years instead of life. Despite the rainfall all through today, the show goes on and tonight, the most interesting vaudeville program yet given will be presented. Last night, the total attendance at the time of closing the show was over 17,000, according to the figures given out by the committee this afternoon. After tonight, it is confidentially expected the attendance will have reached 25,000, for even the rain is not keeping people away from Anaheim's big show. Tomorrow is editor's day, and it is expected there will be several hundred California editors present at the luncheon to be given by the directors of the show in honor or visiting newspaper men. The program for Saturday at the big tent is as follows: Editor's Day 9 a.m., show opena. 10 a.m., opening of amusement section. 3 p.m., orchestra concert. 4 p.m., vaudeville and special attractions. 6:30 p.m., band concert on grounds Anaheim municipal band. 7:30 p.m., grand orchestral program. 9 p.m., Spanish dancing, vaudeville and vocal numbers. BOX OF VALENCIAS GOES TO PRES. HARDING FROM ANAHEIM As a sequel to the opening by President Harding of the first annual California Valencia Orange show at Anaheim on Tuesday, the chief executive of the nation is to receive as a present from the show management a box of the finest Valencia oranges produced this year and now on exhibition at the Anaheim exposition. And the box, it is announced, will represent each exhibit at the Valencia show. The finest oranges from each display being picked out to make up the gift which will go by fast express to the White House. The fruit destined for President Harding's table and which will recall to his mind a pleasant conversation over 3900 miles of telephone wire with his sister nad others in the Anaheim show tent, will be gathered tomorrow, it will be packed right in the Valencia show tent at the model orange packing plant by some of Orange county's fairest daughters, and accompanied by suitable greetings, will be dispatched to Washington, where it will arrive early next week.
