USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor STATE POLICE; FORWARD MOVE. The Burbank Chamber of Commerce has a very commendable proposition for consideration of the people in its project to organize a force of men to be known as the California State Police. In this organization, the Bnurbank Chamber of Commerce sees ex-service men, presenting the fact that they are trained in tactics that would be an asset to the people who stand behind law and order. Referring to the efficiency of such an organization the Burbank Chamber points to the great Northwest Mounted Police, the Texas Rangers, and the Pennsylvania Constabulary. The size of California is given as one of the reasons for a state police force. The state's varied interests and diversified conditions bring forcibly to mind the good a state police force can do to stabilize conditions and uphold the laws. The Burbank Chamber of Commerce has struck upon a very happy solution for handling conditions during the unsettled period of social and economic readjustment and it is very easy to see within a comparatively short time after such a police force is organized, a greater respect for law and order. It is quite probable that such a force of police, under state jurisdiction, GOVERNOR SIGNS EIGHT BILL BRINGING ABOUT SAVING $300,000 TAXPAYERS ANSWER Sweeping Reorganization of State Government By Action of Last Legislature in Huntley Economy in Administration SEVEN MAJOR DEPARTMENTS NOW OIL ACTIVITY NEAR CITY IS BOOMING Immense Sums Offered for Property by Big Oil Companies OWNERS HOLDING OUT SACRAMENTO, nor Stephens today bills passed by the which embody his planning reorganization or government.

The Burbank Chamber of Commerce has struck upon a very happy solution for handling conditions during the unsettled period of social and economic readjustment and it is very easy to see within a comparatively short time after such a police force is organized, a greater respect for law and order. It is quite probable that such a force of police, under state jurisdiction, would be self sustaining. Let California get in line with the other large states in establishing a police force to patrol the long stretches of highway and protect the people of the scattered towns in many parts of this great state. FRIENDSHIPS; CULTIVATING THEM. A news boy, according to a story told at a press banquet in the east some months ago, gave the best definition of friendship ever presented. This lad went up to a man and prettied a copy of the evening paper the man-about-town whom everybody knew and said, "Paper, friend?" The man smiled and said, "What do you mean when you say friend, sonny?" "Well, mister," said the boy, "a friend is a man what knows all about you and likes you less the same." Prof. Carl Knopf, speaking in San Ana a few nights ago to Epworth Leaguers, discussed the psychology of friendship and declared that what we need today more than ever before is backbone loyalty in our friendship. An instance of what Prof. Knopf meant is the treatment of our ex-service men. When they went away to war, the soldier boys were assured everlasting friendship. When they returned, they were evaded by a large proportion of those who told them aden and extended everlasting friendship. The boys who returned with disorganized bodies and minds have not had a friendly greeting. They have been compelled, thousands of them, to beg in order to live from one day to next. Friendship means little, or nothing when all goes well. When men travel along in good health, prosperity and accord, friendship is not given test. It is when one of them BOOMING Immense Sums Offered for Property by Big Oil Companies OWNERS HOLDING OUT The west country immediately adjoining this city's limits is enjoying the novel thrill of having an oil boom on its hand. The big oil companies have their agents abroad endeavoring to buy up every piece of available land that is offered for sale. Wm. Schumacher, it is reported, refused an offer of $85,000 for one hundred acres, southwest of this city, which also carried a one-sixth oil royalty clause. Another gentleman, who has 40 acres, upon which he says he has had hard work to raise sugar beets, owing to an alkali streak, was offered $50,000 for his tract. He refused the offer, and is holding out for double the amount. Many hundreds of acres have been leased, but it is said the two big oil companies are not asking for leases, but want to buy the land outright. This has given property values a boost and many owners are playing for high stakes. The entire county is experiencing more or less of an era of activity in oil development. BOUGHT ANY STOCK IN LEAGUE OF NATIONS? SACRAMENTO May 31. — "Has anybody in this state bought stock in the league of nations?" Such is the apparently flippant query Commissioner of Corporation E. C. Bellows wants the ubiquitous "sucker" to answer. "Barnum was right," opines Bellows. "There's one born every minute. But we want to cut down the sucker birthrate in this state. And the genial commissioner has issued a warning urging Californians to keep their hard earned shekels out of the clutches of sharps and sharks. His control of seven mu which will be created in signing the bills saving of $300,000 per year increased efficiently government would be brighter."

The boys who returned with disorganized bodies and minds have not had a friendly greeting. They have been compelled, thousands of them, to beg in order to live from one day to next. Friendship means little, or nothing when all goes well. When men travel along in good health, prosperity and accord, friendship is not given test. It is when one of them falls that the real test comes. The friend worth while is the friend who will smile and extend a helping hand. The other kind of a friend is about as valuable as an ice box at the north pole. George, the Boy Reporter, held out for $1.50 a week and the great demand for his column compelled the Herald to give him the 50 cent raise. He greets you again today under an iron bound contract subject to cancellation in ten years. Next to owning a big collection of United States treasury certificates, real estate in and around Anaheim is the best investment in the world. Try it and see. Own your own home, and be sure it's in Anaheim. Baby carriages are a novelty in sections of the United States, but in Anaheim, there is a carriage in nearly every home. That's why Anaheim is a city of happy homes. Public officials who do their full duty never have to do any explaining when they come up for re-election or reappointment. Every hour in Anaheim is a Golden Hour. Golden oranges bring the gold dollars and black gold makes the heap higher. Barnum was right," opines Bellows. "There's one born every minute. But we want to cut down the sucker birthrate in this state. And the genial commissioner has issued a warning urging Californians to keep their hard earned shekels out of the clutches of sharps and sharks. His warning follows disclosures in Chicago that smart salesmen have been flooding the Windy City with gilt-edge stock in the league of nations. All potential investors should demand to see the certificate of the stock broker before they place their money in any investment, no matter how good it looks. The commissioner is quite insistent on that point. "Whenever a company, a broker, or an agent, offers security for sale, the person to whom such offer is made should demand to see the permit issued to the company for the sale of these securities or the license of the broker or agent offering the security for sale," declared Commissioner Bellows. “If the investor of California will utilize these simple methods the operators who have stock for sale in any “league” or who are peddling any questionable paper will soon find this state too lean for their pickings. A sheet of paper, a two cent stamp, and the exercise of that saving grace known as “horse sense,” surely is the cheapest possible insurance against being victimized.” Two men were bound over to the superior court on the charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated last week. Paul Velasquez, an Orange garage mechanic, was one, and A.C. Dingle was the other. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1921 S EIGHT BILLS BUT SAVING OVER PAYERS ANNUALLY of State Government Brought legislature in Hunting for Administration DEPTMENTS NOW CREATED SACRAMENTO, May 31.—Governor Stephens today signed the eight bills passed by the last legislature which embody his plan for the sweeping reorganization of the state government. The eight bills will have the effect of placing approximately 75 boards, commissions and officials under the control of seven major departments which will be created. The governor, in signing the bills estimated that a saving of $300,000 per year and largely increased efficiency in state government would be brought about. The seven major departments created are: Department of finance. Department of labor, and industrial relations. Department of public works. Department of agriculture. DR. ALICE HUHN TO GO TO JAIL IN SANTA ANA TONIGHT Dr. Alice Huhn, chiropractor of this city who was convicted last week in Santa Ana of practicing a method of healing not approved by the state board of health will leave tonight for Santa Ana to enter the county jail to begin a sentence of 60 days which she desired rather than pay a fine or agree to refrain from practicing her profession for a period of six months. Dr. Huhn is the second woman chiropractor who enters the county jail to serve a sentence rather than pay a fine to aid the state board of health to further prosecute chiropractors. A group of Miss Huhn's friends will assemble at her home tonight and accompany her to the county jail and she will be welcomed at the jail by Dr. Sue Amack, another Anaheim chiropractor who has been in jail a fortnight, serving her 90 day sentence. MORNIN' JUDGE; CONCEALED GUN FANGY 'NUCKLES' Concealed weapons were epidemic in Anaheim over Memorial day holiday. Two cases were before Judge Howard this morning wherein the LADY DRIVERS HIT HIGH SPOTS LAST NIGHT IN ANAHEIM It was the night before Tuesday when all through the streets, a thousand young ladies drove motorized steeds. Knocking down street light posts, especially the massive iron ones is nothing easy. In fact, it takes quite a bump and quite a sturdy automobile to do it. However, a young lady succeeded last night in toppling the iron pin on the First National bank, corner of Los Angeles and Center streets. This was about midnight last night. Nobody was hurt, as George the Boy Reporter would say, but the young lady turned the wheel over to the owner of the car when everybody reassembled. Upon agreeing to pay cost of re-erecting the light post, the motorist was allowed to go his way. The post was being replaced today. Another young lady, apparently thinking of the proximity of June (the arrival of which always has a scent similar to orange blossoms and bridal vells) became confused about 7:30 and ran a car she was driving across the sidewall; and onto the front lawn of a well known physician. Again nobody was hurt but the automobile and its occupants sustained a very "cute" jolt. control of seven major departments which will be created. The governor, in signing the bills estimated that a saving of $300,000 per year and largely increased efficiency in state government would be brought about. The seven major departments created are: Department of finance. Department of labor, and industrial relations. Department of public works. Department of agriculture. Department of education. Department of institutions. Department of civil service. The heads of the departments will be appointed by the governor and will hold office at his pleasure except in a few instances. The department of finance will take over the activities of the following bureaues, commissions or officials: Board of control; department of accounting, children's agents, purchasing department, superintendent of caupitol building, state printing department, motor vehicle department, state library and a few other minor commissions. The state board of control will become the governing body of this department. The department of public works will take over the work of the state engineer, land settlement board, water commission, highway engineer, highway commission, department of engineering and the Carey act commissions. The director of the department will act as state highway engineer. The department of education, which will be headed by the state superintendent of public instruction, will take over the activities of the trustees of the various normal schools. The department of labor and industrial relations will "co-ordinate the work of the industrial accident commission, immigration and housing commission, industrial welfare commission, bureau of labor statistics," according to the governor's office. These boards will continue in existence, each as a separate division. The department of institutions will take over the various state hospitals and the Writtier, Preston and Ventura reform schools. Under the department of agriculture will be the state market commission, the department of weights and measures, horticultural commission, horticultural examiners, dairy bureau, state veterinarian, viticultural commission. MORNIN' JUDGE; CONCEALED GUN FANCY 'NUCKLES' Concealed weapons were epidemic in Anaheim over Memorial day holiday. Two cases were before Judge Howard this morning wherein the charge was entered for carrying concealed weapons. Eddie Logsdon a seaman on the battleship Arkansas, on leave until July 5, was arrested for having a revolver in his possession. Logsdon declared he did not know to whom the revolver belongs and that he found it in the tool box of the automobile in which he was riding. Eddie left $5 in Judge Howard's possession as payment of the penalty for being careless in associating with armed automobiles. Eddie declared that he had $95 when arrested, but Officer Andrada produced $100 in an envelope where Logsdon's belongings were parked. Eddie was surprised, of course, and expressed the opinion that he would make money by staying in jail if he found $5 more every day than he thought he had the day before. On his promise to dissassociate himself with weapons until he returns to the battleship Arkansas, the payment of the fine and surrendering the revolver. Judge Howard let him go his way. Alonzo Murello was not so fortunate. Alonzo admitted that he was guilty of carrying a set of "knucks," fancy ones at that, all leather covered 'n everything. Alonzo said he ran into some "jazz water," too, and Judge Howard ordered him parked in Sheriff Jackson's hotel (or a period of thirty days and thirty nights). Murello offered to pay a fine instead, going to jail, but Judge Howard declared there is plenty of room in the county jail and declined Murello's cash compromise. WHITTIER SCHOOL SUBJECT ADDRESS KIWANIANS TODAY Anaheim Kiwanians heard an thinking of the proximity of June (the arrival of which always has a scent similar to orange blossoms and bridal vells) became confused about 7:30 and ran a car she was driving across the sidewall; and onto the front lawn of a well known physician. Again nobody was hurt but the automobile and its occupants sustained a very "cute" jolt. RUSSELL'S TEAM FAILED TO COME TO MEET ANAHEIM A dog ran away from a well known Anaheim man last week and as soon as the dog heard that a lost ad would appear in the Anaheim Herald, offering a reward for its return, it went home and surrendered. Last week, William Russell, the well-known motion picture star, had a date with the Anaheim Elks baseball team; to play a game on the Fullerton field on Sunday. Russell received a copy of the paper containing the story and immediately suffered an aggravated case of chilled feet. The result was, Anaheim Elks didn't play Russell's all-star team Sunday, because, Mr. Russell said, they were unexpectedly called to work. Alibi Ike works for Russell. Long Beach sent over nine men, when it heard Russell's team had "jumped the job" and they had a "most enjoyable" afternoon. They nearly laughed themselves to death watching the members of the Anaheim team run around the bases. When the Anaheim paleyrs became exhausted from making elgateen runs, the game adjourned to some future date when they have recovered from their marathon run. Long Beach made eight runs during the recess. According to Billy Knott, manager of the Anaheim Elks team, the officers of the Anaheim lodge will play three innings next Sunday with the fat men of the lodge. This will be a little side-play in connection with the game to be scheduled later. The league games will begin within a short time, according to Manager Knott, when some star playing will be seen throughout the season. These boards will continue in existence, each as a separate division. The department of institutions will take over the various state hospitals and the Writtier, Preston and Ventura reform schools. Under the department of agriculture will be the state market commission, the department of weights and measures, horticultural commission, horticultural examiners, dairy bureau, state veterinarian, viticultural commissioners, board of citrus fruit shipments, stallion registration board and cattle porttection board. CAR THEFTS WERE NUMEROUS MONDAY A Ford roadster belonging to John T. Carpenter of Orange, was stolen sometime yesterday afternoon. The license number is 408-125. One hundred dollars reward is offered for the person who locates the Buick automobile stolen here yesterday. J. H. Hartwick, 348 South Olive street, Los Angeles, the owner of the car is offering the reward. AN ANAHEIM PHYSICIAN SEEKS TO RECOVER FOR SERVICES Action to collect $475 for professional services will be started tomorrow by J. W. Utter, Anaheim physician, before Superior Judge West. Utter, through his attorney, William P. Webb, Jr., claims that Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Tidwell are in debt $475 to him, for services he rendered them June 13, 1919. Joseph Scott, Los Angeles lawyer, is acting as attorney for the Tidwells. WHITTIER SCHOOL SUBJECT ADDRESS KIWANIANS TODAY Anaheim Kiwanians heard an inside story today about the Whittier school for boys and an address on the boy problem by Elmer E. Knox, acting superintendent of the Whittier school. The occasion was the regular weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club, and was known as an "open meeting." Members were allowed to bring a friend or two to hear the speaker of the day. Kiwanian W. V. Fallis held down the chair during the meeting and displayed almost as much ability in holding it down as he does in holding other people in chairs when making calls on him in his dental parlors. After the preliminaries and lunch were done away with, the speaker of the day gave a very interesting talk on the Whittier school and told ow the marked changes that have been brought about in conducting the school in the past few years. Instead of the ball and chain methods of a few years ago, the boys are corrected by means of education. This has had its effect 1 nthe matter of escapes. Only one escape has been recorded since January 1, as compared to dozens in former years, before corrective methods of today were instituted. The address was very interesting and instructive to the men of the Kiwanis Club who are now better acquainted with the problems that confront the officials of that and other state institutions. According to Billy Knott, manager of the Anaheim Elks team, the officers of the Anaheim lodge will play three innings next Sunday with the fat men of the lodge. This will be a little side-play in connection with the game to be scheduled later. The league games will begin within a short time, according to Manager Knott, when some star playing will be seen throughout the season. CHEMISTRY CONTEST IS ENTERED BY THREE FROM ANAHEIM The high school chemistry contest was held at Los Angeles Saturday. Miss Mabel Brown, Raymond Perry and Rulen McOmie represented Anaheim union high school. They were accompanied by their instructor, Prof. George Headstrom. Mr. Headstrom states that the examination was one of the most difficult that has ever been given and he is assured that the Anaheim pupils in science will be among those with high points. SUES ON OLD NOTE FOR AVOCADO TREES Civil action to collect $196 said to be due him from Minnie E. Taylor was started this morning by Frederick W. Smith, a Whittier attorney, in Superior court Department No. 1. It is alleged in the complaint, that the note was given to A. R. Rideout, also of Whittier, for avocado trees, in March, 1919. The note was never paid, it is said, and Smith sold the title to the promissory note. HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE NO. 166 CORA ORTHWEIN TELLS STORY OF NIGHT LIFE IN CHICAGO LEADING TO THE TIME SHE SHOT AFFINITY Two Actions in Chicago Courts Today Result of Night Life on Great White Way Where Men and Women Forget all Moral Laws DEFENDANT TELLS STORY OF WEAKNESSES MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE IS INSPIRING Many Veterans Parade to City Cemetery Honoring America’s Heroes VERY ABLE ADDRESS CHICAGO, May 31.—Midnight trolics of Chicago’s smart set were aired in court today as Mrs. Cora C. Orthwein went on trial for murder. Mrs. Othwein is charged with slaying Herbert P. Ziegler, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company executive, after a night of revelry. Jealousy because Zeigler danced with Mrs. Charlotte Lowinsky, the "kissing blonde" in the case, caused the shooting, according to the prosecution. Assistant Prosecutor Heth said today that "Handsome Jack" Barry, alleged society gambler, would testify to this. Mrs. Orthwein claims she shot the man with whom she had been living in self defense, that he broke down the door of her apartment. INSPIRING Many Veterans Parade to City Cemetery Honoring America's Heroes VERY ABLE ADDRESS Decoration Day services were impressively observed at Anaheim cemetery yesterday. Many people came to do homage to the memory of the departed. Headed by the Anaheim band, the G. A. R., the Legion Auxiliary, Woman's Relief Corps, Daughters of Veterans and school children assembled on West Center street and marched to the intersection of Emily street where the formal march ended. Immediately in front of the Stars and Stripes, carried by a stalwart ex-service man, floated to the breezes. At each side of the color bearer marched two uniformed young men, one representing the army, the other the navy. Waiting autos carried the multitude to the cemetery, where the Memorial services were held. While the band played soft and low, the assemblage led by a quartette (composed of Mrs. Fagin, Miss Arey, and Messrs. Fordham and Meeker) sang "America." The occasion was impressive and the singing of this beautiful patriotic ballad gave fervid inspiration to the vast audience, while many eyes were molested with tears, although the large concourse of people were happily conscious of the fact that they dwell in this glorious land of the free and home of the brave. While the assemblage still stood in reverent mien Dr. Geissinger offered an invocation. "Tenting Tonight," sung by the quartette, with charming effect, was followed by decoration of the graves by the school children. August Knokiton paid a tender tribute to the Unkown Dead, and Martin Leuschner gave the immortal Lincoln's Gettysburg address. The quartette sang "To Thee, Oh Country," and Rev. Abraham Markle inspired his hearers with a patriotic address. Mrs. C. W. Fagin, who possesses a beautiful soprano voice, rendered a solo. The services were terminated with night or revelry. Assistant Prosecutor Heth said today that "Handsome Jack" Barry, alleged society gambler, would testify to this. Mrs. Orthwein claims she shot the man with whom she had been living in self defense, that he broke down the door of her apartment. While a jury in Judge Francis Wilson's court was being chosen, the petition naming Zeigler as co-respondent in the divorce case between Barney Lewinsky and his wife, the "Missing blonde," was being heard. Scandal growing out of the Orthwein misbroke up the Lewinsky home. It expected two days will be consumed in picking up a jury. "Maybe I got a wrong start in life," Mrs. Orthwein said just before picking of the jury started. Mother died when I was three and father did his best to keep me good lived in Columbus, ... then. "Columbus was a great V-town. It was there I met Jack Wilson. I was a pig-tailed girl of I ready to fall for anyone who at me. Jack looked and we worried. I first started to dissipate I traveled around with him. He grew abusive and I left him was in St. Louis that I met Ra Orthwein, sauve, gentle, heir to millions, and owner of the St. Lions, and owner of the St. Lions team. We were happy for seven years but then a woman broke up on home. After that I dissipated more than ever. "In Chicago I met the debonair Herb Zeigler, the good fellow of Chicago's night life. If we had met, touched by life's experiences, it would have been love at first sight. As it was, ours was an illicit love. We had none of the pretty illusions when we met. "Herb' and I were so happy." He used to say to me, "You're so feminine. You do those womanly things so well just life my mother." Then he started to drink heavily. So did I. You know the result."
