Don’t Miss The V USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor KILL BITTERNESS; JINGO THINKERS It is surprising to note that men in more or less exalted positions in America allow bitterness to make sound reasoning collapse. Arthur Brisbane, Hearst’s $50,000 a year editorial writer in commenting on President Harding’s address yesterday, in which the President said “it must not be again,” referring of course to war, urges preparedness. He declares that the way to prevent war is to get ready for war. In other words, if a drunkard would reform, the best method for him to pursue is to put a barrel of whiskey in the cellar and be tempted an hundred times a day. We say that is not the way to protect the drunkard, nor will a great navy and army prevent wars. The man who never goes armed never shoots anyone. The man who “totes” a gun some time finds occasion to use it and it nearly always piles up grief for him. If Great Britain, Japan and the United States will abandon their navy building programs, involving it is estimated some six billions of dollars (that means six thousand million dollars) and put that money into activities of peace, there will be no more MEMORIAL DAY CLOSING HE ANNOUNCED RETAIL MERC G.A.R.SERVICES CITY C Veterans of Civil War Have Charge of Impressive Program; Children of Schools Assisting ALL STORES TO CLOSE FOR ENTIRE POLICE HAVE ORDINANCE AS GUIDE Measure Enacted in August, 1918 Would Take Care Get ready for and Monday.

ORDINANCE AS GUIDE Measure Enacted in August, 1918 Would Take Care Of "Blind Pigs" ATTORNEY SPEAKS There is no reason at all why anyone should be allowed to sell wine in Anaheim, according to City Attorney Ames, who said today that there is a city ordinance that empowers the police officers to make arrests and secure convictions if they do their duty. Three Mexicans yesterday were before Justice Howard, charged with being drunk. They admitted the charge and told Justice Howard they became drunk from a mixture something like wine sold to them over the bar in the San Diego saloon. Ordinance No. 337, signed August 22, 1918, by J. J. Dwyer, president of the board of trustees, and approved by the entire board is an air-tight ordinance for the police officers to work on. It covers everything in the way of liquor or anything with more than one per cent of alcohol. The so-called wine sold at the San Diego saloon contained enough alcohol to make the above mentioned Mexicans drunk. They have furnished the police, in giving this information, with sufficient evidence to convict and now it seems up to the police to have the city attorney proceed to act against the saloon. The ordinance covers the ground very completely and provides a fine of $300 or three months in jail or both, just as the court deems necessary. "CHICKEN" SUPPER FOR MASONS IS NOW PLANNED On the night of June 1st, Anaheim Masons will have a chicken supper. This supper was promised some weeks ago when the Masons entertained their ladies. During the course of an address, E. H. Metcalfe, one of the past masters of the Anaheim lodge work time Tuesday. Next Monday it legal holiday in Anaheim and local merchant Memorial day.

Johnson would retire at the end of his present term in the United States senate, or perhaps before, to engage in the practice of law in the east. His political enemies have probably been praying on one knee and then on the other, and perhaps on both, that such would be the case. If he lives, Senator Johnson will become a candidate next year to succeed himself in the United States senate. Any Californian who has had hopes of succeeding Senator Johnson may now make arrangements to do something else. Senator Johnson is needed in the United States senate and he will stay there as long as he wants to remain in the service of the people. In a statement issued yesterday, Senator Johnson said that he had been offered very flattering connection in the east that would make it unnecessary for him to worry over his financial welfare the balance of his life, but like thousands of others, he declared that he had lived so long in California he could not live happily in any other place. It is reasonable to say, for facts uphold the statement that many men with the opportunities Senator Johnson has had, would today be wealthy. Men blessed with a stout heart, a soul of honor, and a brilliant mind are not as numerous as they should be, both in and out of the Congress of the United States. CHICKEN' SUPPER FOR MASONS IS NOW PLANNED On the night of June 1st, Anaheim Masons will have a chicken supper. This supper was promised some weeks ago when the Masons entertained their ladies. During the course of an address, E. H. Metcalfe, one of the past masters of the Anaheim lodge announced that within a few weeks, when a full moon appeared, he would find ways and means of providing the main ingredient for a chicken supper for the ladies. Today, E. H. Metcalfe, above mentioned, is preparing to commence to begin to get ready to collect chickens. How, when and where he proposes to operate is not known. He guarantees a sufficient number of chickens, however, to make the chicken dinner real and not imaginary. Good sized pieces will prevail on the table, not mere samples. An interesting program is also arranged for the evening after the chicken has disappeared. ANAHEIM'S BAND IN SEAL BEACH DURING SUMMER FESTIVITIES The Anaheim band will be engaged to furnish twelve Sunday concerts this year in Seal Beach. The matter has been taken up by the Seal Beach Chamber of Commerce, which is heading the list with $100 towards the paying for the cost of the band. Another important item under consideration by the beach chamber is the bathing-parade, which will be held on July 17. This year the professional element will be eliminated and amateur entries only will be received. Full particulars will be announced later. It may be remarked in passing, however, that reparations won't raise babies. WASHINGTON test of the strength movement in the administration leadtion bills will convote on the navy creasing the pay million dollars. This means an sonnel of the navy the house provision. The house set to 100,000. The senate made it 120,000 bitem.

MAN ARRESTED FOR OLD TIME HANGING OFFENSE IN ORANGE Eddie Nelson was arrested on the Santa Fe train yesterday by Deputy Sheriff E. E. French as the train was passing through Orange. Arrest was made on a telegraphic warrant from Del Mar. Nelson, according to authorities there, had stolen a horse, sold it and was seen boarding the Santa Fe train. French boarded the train and arrested a man answering Nelson's description. The man objected to the arrest more or less vehemently, and the officer decided that he had the wrong man. Nelson was later identified by the conductor and was brought to the county jail here. ROBBERIES IN ANAHEIM ARE NUMEROUS Garage and Home Entered And Robbed Last Night BIG PARADE TO SHOW GROUND TONIGHT Band Will Lead in Line With Performers at Big Tent This Evening MAN RETURNS FUNDS This morning's attendance at the Valencia Orange show was as good as any morning last week, according to announcement by Manager Maleolm Fraser. "We are very well pleased with the attendance this week, even during the rainy spell." Tonight there will be a big parade from the show grounds to Center street and down Center street. Following the band will be members of the vaudeville troupe in automobiles and on trucks, and the program at the tent tonight is said to be the best yet. The executive committee of the show today received a letter from E. M. Chalmers of this city enclosing certificate No. 43 which the committee presented to Mr. Chalmers as Next Monday is Memorial day, a legal holiday in the United States, and local merchants always observe Memorial day. Secretary H. P. Knoll of Anaheim Retail Merchants association notified all members today that stores will close all day Monday.

PAINTING PARKING SPACES ON CENTER URGED BY SHOPPERS Suggestion has been made by visitors to Anaheim, shoppers from various parts of the county that the city officials cause parkways to be painted on the sides of the streets where automobiles park so that one car cannot take up space on the crowded thoroughfare where two cars could be parked with ease. "I have arrived in Anaheim many times," said a well known rancher's wife today, "and been forced to park my car a block or two away from the main business district merely because someone had taken up too much space in parking his or her car. I would be glad, and many other out-of-town shoppers would feel as I do, if the merchants will urge the city officials work time Tuesday morning. ANAHEIM ARE NUMEROUS Garage and Home Entered And Robbed Last Night By Burglars ROBBERS INVADE CITY There are robbers in Anaheim doing a good business. It may be that one man is doing all the business, but that doesn't matter, someone is gathering suits of clothes, silk shirts, watches, rings, automobile tires and now has quite a collection gathered in the past week. Last night someone entered the residence of N. Read at 416 Emily street, and left with a suit of clothes owned by Mr. Read, also two new silk shirts, a watch and chain which Mr. Read bought in France while doing service in the trenches, and a lady's ring. Mr. Read works for the Union Oil Company and went to work yesterday at 4 o'clock p.m., returning soon after midnight. His mother and sister, with whom he lives, were away from home visiting, and as Mr. Read approached the front door to enter, he found the door unlocked. He passed through the house to the kitchen and found the back door unlocked, and being then suspicious that all was not well, he went to his room and found the above mentioned articles missing. The robber had ransacked the bureau drawers in all rooms. Mr. Read thinks he has seen the man who committed the robbery. A few nights ago, when returning, he saw a man about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 190 in a neighbor's yard. He believes this is the same man who visited his home without invitation last night. Either the same man or another visited the Mission Garage last night and took 7 Portage tires from the display window in the front of the salesroom. This robber entered by the rear door and helped himself to the tires he wanted and left the others. This was accomplished apparently while the lights were burning brightly, or it has been suggested that it may have occurred when the lights were out all over the city for half an hour or more. Protection against robbery is largely in hands of the people and it is with the attendance this week, even during the rainy spell." Tonight there will be a big parade from the show grounds to Center street and down Center street. Following the band will be members of the vaudeville troupe in automobiles and on trucks, and the program at the tent tonight is said to be the best yet. The executive committee of the show today received a letter from E. M. Chalmers of this city enclosing certificate No. 43 which the committee presented to Mr. Chalmers as guarantee that $100 he advanced to the show would be repaid with 7 percent interest. Mr. Chalmers thanked the committee, but declared that he was glad to give that sum to an institution that has done so much to bring Anaheim to the front and that has put on such a meritorious show. "If some more will do that," said one of the directors today. "we won't have to worry much when next year's big show is being prepared." Many visitors at the show are ordering Valencias shipped east to relatives and friends. One packing house took an order at the show grounds this morning ror 3 bozes of the souvenir oranges to be shipped to eastern points. BAKING INDUSTRY PAYS $1200 WEEKLY The local bakery industry has grown to great proportions here, 38 persons making a livelihood from the baking business which serves Anaheim with wholesome bread fresh from the oven every morning. Twelve hundred dollars every week is paid to employees of the four baking establishments here. This figure represents a goodly sum annually paid to a very desirable class of workmen. The business of the local bakeries is growing rapidly, the people of this section knowing that they get honest weight and a wholesome food whenever they buy a loaf of Anaheim baked bread. Confiscation of hundreds of loaves of Los Angeles baked bread by the Orange county sealer of weights and measures, has put the Orange county consumer on his guard against imported bread, the producers of which contribute nothing to the upbuilding of this worthy industry. Call for Anaheim baked bread and build a worthy industry in your own community. MATERIAL LIEN IS BEING FORGED ON LA HABRA HOUSE ed on the sides of the streets where automobiles park so that one car cannot take up space on the crowded thoroughfare where two cars could be parked with ease. "I have arrived in Anaheim many times," said a well known rancher's wife today, "and been forced to park my car a block or two away from the main business district merely because someone had taken up too much space in parking his or her car. I would be glad, and many other out-of-town shoppers would feel as I do, if the merchants will urge the city officials to paint parking spaces on Center street so that no car could take up more than the space needed for one car." The matter will be brought before the city trustees at their next meeting. INSURGENTS WILL TEST STRENGTH OF THE NAVY BILL WASHINGTON, May 24.—The real test of the strength of the insurgent movement in the senate against administration leadership on appropriation bills will come when the senate votes on the naval amendment increasing the pay of the navy fifteen million dollars. This means an increase in the personnel of the navy by 20,000 men over the house provisions. The house set the navy strength at 100,000. The senate naval committee made it 120,000 by boosting the pay item. The insurgents, greatly encouraged by the "moral" victory won in reducing the transportation item $1,000,000 knocking out entirely the $1,500,000 Alameda naval base provision and virtually forcing the Borah disarmament provision into the bill over Presidential objections, are out to slash the pay appropriation. Some Americans didn't know what they were fighting for, but each day brings new evidence that European nations knew what they were fighting for. Either the same man of another visited the Mission Garage last night and took 7 Portage tires from the display window in the front of the salesroom. This robber entered by the rear door and helped himself to the tires he wanted and left the others. This was accomplished apparently while the lights were burning brightly, or it has been suggested that it may have occurred when the lights were out all over the city for half an hour or more. Protection against robbery is largely in the hands of the people and it is advised that people leave a light burning in their homes when they go out and leave the house uninhabited. There are burglars active all over this section now, according to news reports and Anaheim is getting her share. Police protection is a matter of little importance if the people do not use every safeguard in keeping burglars away from their homes. Burglars seldom enter homes where there is a light burning no matter what hour of the night. Automobile owners have suffered considerable during the past week. At the orange show, an endless number of tires, robes and motormeters have been taken. Spare tires attached to automobiles parked outside the tent were also taken. It is believed that fully $1000 worth of tires, robes and motormeters have been taken during the past ten days. MULE BRANDY GETS MEN IN TROUBLE "Mule brandy" brought William Johnson, colored, and A. G. LeBard before Justice of the Peace John B. Cox in Santa Ana Monay on a charge of disturbing the peace in a local pool hall owned by Nick Pappas. LeBard pleaded guilty and was finned $10. Johnson was freed after declaring that LeBard and another man attempted to make him drink, and that a row of considerable proportions was started by his refusal. The third man implicated in the affair could not be found, and is declared by both Johnson and LeBard to be the real cause of the trouble. MATERIAL LIEN IS BEING FORCED ON LA HABRA HOUSE By stipulation of attorneys, the civil suit brought by the Whiting-Mead Commercial Company of Los Angeles against F. S. Stambaugh, contractor, and R. S. Hilbert, owner of a house and lot at La Habra, to foreclose a mechanics lien, was declared off the calendar, and will be reset for trial at a later date. The plaintiff company declares that it furnished building material to the contractor in October, 1919, for the erection of the Hilbert dwelling, and that the material, valued at $1,088.95, has never been paid in full. S. P. MOTOR TRAIN WILL BE DISCONTINUED ON JUNE 1ST The Southern Pacific motor train making two trips from Anaheim to Los Angeles daily will be discontinued on and after June 1st, according to announcement made today by Fred E. Watson, of Los Angeles, assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific Company who spent the day here. The motor train has been in service here for the past five years but for some time past it has not been paying expenses. This is largely due to the fact that people are patronizing the stage lines to go to Los Angeles and either use their own cars or go with friends to make travel out of Los Angeles. Official announcement of discontinuance will be made by the Southern Pacific in a day or two.

MAIL BANDIT IS TAKEN IN BIG POKER GAME Roy Gardner Arrested Last Night in Roseville in Midst of Game RETURNED TO PRISON SACRAMENTO, May 24.—Roy Gardner, California mail robber arrested at Roseville, near here at midnight last night, showed far more interest today in the fact that his arrest broke up a poker game than in anything else. “You should have seen that game-keeper’s face when they arrested me.’ Gardner commented. He was arrested while playing poker. “It was the funniest thing I’ve seen since I left Los Angeles.” “I was dealing the cards when they stuck the gun in my face and I kept right on dealing, but I thought the fellow who was running the game was gone’ to pass out.” Gardner’s sudden arrest, after he GERMANS AGREE TO LEAVE AND DISARM PARIS, May 24.—Germany today promised to close the Upper Silesian frontier and disarm and dissolve their regular forces sent to combat the Poles.

LIGHTS SHIMMED LAST NIGHT BUY JOY PREVAILS There were great things doing last night in Anaheim. The evening's abnormalities started about 5:50 p.m., when someone at one of the booths in the orange show tent started to "cook supper" and ended after 9:30, when the lights all over the city came on after half an hour of darkness. The fire department was called to the tent when someone attempting to light a gasoline stove allowed too much gasoline to flow into the container used to generate. A great flame arose and burned some of the decorations around the booth but the fire was out when the engine from the first station arrived. About 9 o'clock someone "stepped on the wire" or something went wrong with the electric service wires. Exact cause of the interruption in service is not known. However, when the lights decided to go out, they flickered and as someone at the orange show tent said, "they shimmied" for awhile and then left the city in total darkness. Homes, motion picture houses and stores were without light, and at the big tent housing the orange show, great merriment prevailed while the orchestra played various selections without lights. As George the Boy Reporter would say "nobuddy wuz hurt." SEEKING FURTHER DAMAGES RESULT OF ACCIDENT Trial of the second civil suit of Mrs. Alveretta Sleeper vs. the Balboa Land and Water Company was started Monday before Superior Judge William Mrs. Sleeper has brought suit for $7500 damages, alleging that she is permanently injured and that she has suffered great bodily pain and mental anguish as the result of carelessness on the part of the defendant company. She sustained a double fracture of her right leg August 18, 1919, when she stepped from a launch operated by the Balboa Land and Water Company to the ladder of a torpedo boat anchored in Newport bay. According to her complaint, the launch was not held fast to the torpedo boat and just as she stepped upon the ladder it was tossed against the ladder by a swell of the ocean. In the trial of the suit brought by H. E. Sleeper the defendant company sought to prove that the accident was the result of negligence on the part of Mrs. Sleeper, that it could not be held responsible for the ocean swell which caused the launch to move back and forth. Sleeper sued for $1,714.76 representing money paid for hospital treatments, physicians, and the loss of his wife's services in his household during her absence. Germany may observe John Bull and find consolation in the fact that a place in the sun is uncomfortably warm at times.
