USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor IT IS TO LAUGH; NEWSPAPER WARS If you are nursing a cracked lip, don't read this. It is to laugh. In Los Angeles there are two morning newspapers. One of them is a "mourning" newspaper but that is another matter. The Los Angeles Times is exposing wholesale vice in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Examiner bewails the fact that a newspaper would dare say Los Angeles is a city of vice and proclaims it a city of angels. Everybody knows there are no angels in Los Angeles, although there is an overwhelming majority of law-abiding people. However, the whole thing is politics. Anyone sitting on the fence can see the objective. The Times is opposed to Mayor Snyder, who will go before the people next month for re-election. The Examiner is for Mayor Snyder. As regards the influence of the two newspapers on the voters, we are of the opinion that Mayor Snyder is "resting as comfortably as could be expected." Unhappily, Los Angeles is American headquarters for international crooks and high binders. Chicago holds first place in bombing activities and New York runs neck and neck with the city of angels in the matter of crooks. But, if the Los Angeles newspapers report correctly the various crimes committed in that city, New York, Chicago and other big cities in the DRY LEADERS IN CONGRESS READY TO KICK BARLEYCORN IN GRAVE HE STRUGGLES TO See Work of Booze, Beer & Co., in Keeping Commissioner Away From Committee In Congressional Hearing TO PUT ENFORCEMENT UP TO JUSTICE McCOMB DENIES PATERNITY OF CHILD Lebanon Man Leaves for Los Angeles Appear At Trial MAY BE PROSECUTED LEBANON, Mo., May 25.—Elmer WASHINGTON, May at an apparently previous prohibition enforcement in congress today deter a strict compliance with At present an inquiry quietly by some men house to determine who one in the treasury trying to hamper the dry law, as recent the floor of the house, aroused because the trot 700 out of 1200 dry ago, when appropriation expired, without warmth the situation asking for amount. Representative Volsta believes a big blow work was dealt by this that the action of the h "resting as comfortably as could be expected." Unhappily, Los Angeles is American headquarters for international crooks and high binders. Chicago holds first place in bombing activities and New York runs neck and neck with the city of angels in the matter of crooks. But, if the Los Angeles newspapers report correctly the various crimes committed in that city, New York, Chicago and other big cities in the United States are merely pikers. Los Angeles needs a moral bath. If newspaper reports are true, a band of law abiding citizens is being organized to drive criminals out of that city. Some other city will get them, but it may be that in their travels, the crooks will turn to other employment or land where they will be in no position to prey on the people, but at whose expense they will be existing. THE FOOTPRINTS; "MUST NOT BE AGAIN" President Harding's heart and soul stirred Monday as he reviewed one of the results of the world war. New York, he saw caskets contain 5000 American heroes who were killed in the world war. Leaving the scene he went to Brooklyn through streets lined with 250,000 school children. It would be impressive to know the President's innermost feelings as he held visions of the 5000 caskets on the pier in New Jersey and beheld the cheering, laughing and wide-eyed children who cheered him on his way. We read in the same newspaper a dispatch from Doorn in which the world is told that the ex-kaiser appears at dinner each evening adorned in full military uniform. During the day, he is dressed in ordinary business or hiking clothes, but when night comes, he dolls up in a military uniform to tickle his own vanity. He is pleasing no one but himself. He is, as many of his own people declare, suffering a new disease known as "military dementia." As we read of the arrival of the bodies of the 5000 American heroes, and of the ex-kaiser's insane desire to be adorned in a military uniform, we wonder if the American people are going to allow another war to carry off thousands of those 250,000 kiddies who lined the streets of New York to greet our President. Talking will not end wars. Right thinking and continued thought in the Lebanon Man Leaves for Los Angeles Appear At Trial MAY BE PROSECUTED LEBANON, Mo., May 25.—Elmer McComb, president of the Lebanon Chamber of Commerce and first vice president of the Christian church, left for Los Angeles today to answer the charge of Miss Erie Mullicane that he was the father of her murdered baby. McComb denied the charges. He was induced to go to Los Angeles by his brother, Dr. Albert McComb, who went to Baxter Springs, Kansas, last night to acquaint his brother with the charges against him. McComb is also vice president of the First National bank here. Before leaving for Los Angeles McComb made emphatic denial of Miss Mullicane's claim that he sent her to Los Angeles to "hush it up." It was learned that information leading to the issuance of the federal warrant for McComb's arrest, charging him with violation of the Mann act, was supplied by Miss Mullicane's sister, Mrs. Vera M. Shelton of Lebanon. Erie was employed as a maid in the home of McComb's parents, Dr. and Mrs. James McComb. After leaving the McComb home, Miss Mullicane went to Springfield, Mo., then to St. Louis and later to Los Angeles, according to Mrs. Shelton. Erie is to stand trial soon for the murder of her infant, which was found strangled to death in a trunk in a Los Angeles storage warehouse. Miss Mullicane until recently refused to name the man, but is said to have told Mrs. Angela Kauffman of Los Angeles the entire story. STREET DANCE IS POSTPONED WEEK There will be no street dance under the auspices of the Anaheim Post of the American Legion tonight according to Chairman Haynes of the entertainment committee. Representative Volst believes a big blow work was dealt by this that the action of the hilly voting an emergency of $200,000 will only cause damage which he can done.

As we read of the arrival of the bodies of the 5000 American heroes, and of the ex-kaiser’s insane desire to be adorned in a military uniform, we wonder if the American people are going to allow another war to carry off thousands of those 250,000 kiddies who lined the streets of New York to greet our President. Talking will not end wars. Right thinking and continued thought in the direction of disarmament is the only means of preventing another demented ruler from throwing nations into war. BE CHARITABLE; THINK DEEPLY Dr. George T. Harding, brother of President Harding, told some truths here Sunday when he called attention to the conditions of thousands of ex-service men. He declared that many young men who were strong and able, both mentally and physically before they went to the French trenches, are now physically fit but mentally shattered. The sounds of screaming shell, the groans of dying companions and the constant thought that death was reaching for them were enough to dehrone the minds of strong minded men Dr. Harding said, and he urged the people to bear with the ex-service men who seem to be living in a different world and who display little interest in life. No man, Dr. Harding said, could possibly endure the scenes and shocks of the war fronts without it leaving its mark on the mind. Remember that, all you people who were safely and securely keeping the home fires burning. Going to the christening? Anaheim had a little “sun” today. STREET DANCE IS POSTPONED WEEK There will be no street dance under the auspices of the Anaheim Post of the American Legion tonight according to Chairman Haynes of the entertainment committee. Satisfactory arrangements could not be arranged in time to give the public the kind of a dance the Legion members wanted to present so the street dance has been postponed for a few days. Instead of the dance, Legioners will join tonight in making the closing night of the Orange show an event long to be remembered. SPRING FEVER HITS THE COURT HOUSE The county court house baseball team is slowly working itself into a fever of enthusiasm over the challenge received by Captain Kenneth E. Morrison from the city hall organization. The challenge reads: “The City Hall Saints, an all star baseball club, herewith challenges the Court House ‘Cupids,’ an aggregation of has-beens to play a game of baseball for the benefit of the Day Nursery. Game to be played at Poly High athletic fields, Saturday, June 4, 1921, at 2 p.m. (Signed) “CITY HALL SAINTS,” By E. L. Vegely. The court house team is composed of such celebrities as Joe Backs, Lester Slaback, Gene Hoff, Charley Carrillo, Ole Christiansen and others. HEIM DAILY HER ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1921 GONGRESS GET HARLEYCORN BACK BUGGLES TO LEAVE Co., in Keeping Prohibition Day From Committee onal Hearing UP TO JUSTICE DEPT. WASHINGTON, May 25.—Alarmed at an apparently prevailing laxity in prohibition enforcement, dry leaders in congress today determined to force a strict compliance with the law. At present an inquiry is being made quietly by some members of the house to determine whether "someone in the treasury department" is trying to hamper the enforcement of the dry law, as recently charged on the floor of the house. The drys are aroused because the treasury released 700 out of 1200 dry agents a few days ago, when appropriation allotments expired, without warning congress of the situation asking for an additional amount. Representative Volstead, Minnesota, believes a big blow to prohibition work was dealt by this reduction and that the action of the house in promptly voting an emergency appropriation BIG BUSINESS GETS WHACK AT NAVY BILL INSURGENTS LOSING WASHINGTON, May 25.—With republican insurgents beaten on the important items of increase, republican leaders in the senate today hoped to put through their navy bill virtually as the naval affairs committee reported it. They were confident that on another roll call the $1,500,000 for the Alameda, Cal., naval base would be restored. Much work has been done among the insurgent republicans to convince them they did wrong in voting against this project. The insurgent movement, however, has not collapsed in spite of the fact that regular leaders were able yesterday to force through the increase in navy personnel from the 100,000 fixed by the house to 120,000, at an added cost in pay of more than $20,000,000.

The other came from the "sundia querla" proceedings which were closed last night and taken under payment. Superior Judge Loussaint announced he would call the case again May 31 and probably would have a written opinion ready then which will determine whether Mooney's case can be re-opened.
