USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII EIGHT PAGES Now and Then By The Editor IT HAS DAWNED; ON THE RIGHT ROAD. Sunday, June 5, all the churches in the United States will hear the new dawn of peace advocated from the pulpit when clergymen of all denominations will preach the gospel of Peace as given to the world by Jesus Christ. Some weeks ago the editor of the Placentia Courier took the editor of the Anaheim Herald to task for calling upon the churches to start the ball of disarmament rolling. The Herald believed then, as it believes now, that that ball will pick up war machinery all over the earth, just as the rolling snow ball gathers snow. The New York World, the nation's greatest newspaper advocate of disarmament says of the part the churches should play in the permanent peace movement: "By all the logic of religious teaching they (the churches) should have initiated the movement they are now asked to join. They should have led the way, and their voice should have been the first to be raised and the loudest to declaim against the fallacy of great naval and military establishments as safeguards against war. It can not have needed the lesson of the great war to disprove that fallacy in pulpits where peace on earth, good will to men is preached." The United States was supposed to JURY DISAGREES IN TRIAL ELEVEN YEAR OLD BOY AND MURDERING YOUNG P Youngster Not Concerned in Fact He Will Court Again Perhaps, Wants Opponent To Go in Swimming Now MOTHER BREAKS DOWN AND WEEPING BOXING MATCHES; ALSO WRESTLING THIS EVENING Boxing fans as well as wrestling fans will see a good program of both sports tonight if they go to the club house of the Anaheim Athletic Club one and a half miles south on the Garden Grove boulevard.

The boy has been his trial for shootin' Bennie Slavin. After the disagreement the little thumb-witness of the tragedy blouse. The United States was supposed to have entered the world war to crush autocracy. Autocracy is still doing business and will continue at the same old stand until the greatest of all democracies, the United States of America, leads the world in driving the foundations from under autocracy. That foundation is the very thing that upholds wars. The people have let politicians and half-baked emperors and kings carry on wars. If the people want real peace, they must put it themselves and the only way to get it is to take the matter of war declarations out of the hands of the constituted authorities over the world and put it into the hands of those who have been called upon to do the fighting. There is a blank in this issue of the Anaheim Herald, pleading with President Harding to take the initiative in world disarmament. Sign it and mail it to the Anaheim Herald. The only way to get what you want is to ask for it—go get it. Do this for the sake of your children and your neighbor's children and their children's children. GOOD FOR K. C. B.; MORE POWER TO HIM. Everyone who likes fair play will appreciate what "K. C. B." wrote in Thursday's Los Angeles Examiner about the coming world championship fight between Carpentier, the soldier, and Dempsey, the shipyard worker. K. C. B. declared that he hopes the "soldier will knock the block off the shipyard worker." There is a double kick in that hope. Those who remember how Dempsey turned handsprings up the side of a mountain, so to speak, to keep from going to war, will understand exactly what K. C. B. means. Carpentier served his nation, France, and our nation for four years in the French army, while Dempsey was driving rivets in ships thousands of miles away from the boxing fans as well as wrestling fans will see a good program of both sports tonight if they go to the club house of the Anaheim Athletic Club one and a half miles south on the Garden Grove boulevard. The main boxing event will be between Ray Neal of San Diego and Hasel Schmidt of Fullerton, weighing in at 163 pounds. The main wrestling event will be between Strangler Louis Nelson of Anaheim and Turk Lajini of Los Angeles, the latter agreeing to beat Nelson one fall in 20 minutes. Other boxing events are Young Crespine of Anaheim at 140 pounds against Kid Frederick of Delhi, at 135 pounds. Kid Ross of Anaheim will meet Kid Leo of Santa Ana, both at 120 pounds. The other wrestling event will be between Double Wristlock Al of Anaheim against Barney Barnhardt of Los Angeles. A large party of fans from Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange and Los Angeles is expected to take in the events tonight and all Anaheim lovers of boxing and wrestling will be there to greet them. ELKS TEAM WILL BE LINED UP AGAINST K. OF C. OF L. A. The Knights of Columbus baseball team of Los Angeles is going to make an attempt to get some runs in Fullerton Sunday afternoon to use in a score against the Anaheim Elks. The Anaheim Elks' team will work aggressively to prevent the K. of C. of L. A. from scoring anything but zeroes. Through an oversight, the Herald stated yesterday that the officers of the Anaheim Elks lodge would play the "Fats" of the lodge Sunday afternoon. That game is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, June 12. The "Fats" declare, however, that the game is already won, and the officers want to put off the game as long as possible, knowing that defeat stares them in the face.

The jury had been out 19 hours and argued all night over Cecil's fate. "Ma" Burkett, the boy's mother, surrounded by her brood of seven children, broke down and wept for the first time since the trial began. Cecil displayed no concern over the fact that the jury failed to acquit him. "Oh it don't make any difference to me," he said, sticking his hands in his bulging pockets. "Only I hope I don't have to come back here again." The boy has been calm throughout his trial for shooting seven-year-old Bennie Slavin. After the disagreement he tucked the little thumb-worn map—his version of the tragedy—back in his blouse. SOUTHARD GETS A LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO BE NEAR WIFE HONOLULU, T. H., June 3.—Paul Vincent Southard, busband of Mrs. Lydia Southard, alleged "feminine Bluebeard," will leave Honolulu Sunday aboard the naval collier Mason for San Francisco. Orders permitting him to return to the mainland to be near his wife, while she goes to trial for the alleged murder of her four husbands, and a brother-in-law, arrived late yesterday. Mrs. Southard is scheduled to arrive in San Francisco June 6 aboard the liner Matsonia. She will be taken immediately to Twin Falls, Idaho. WRONG DATE GIVEN FOR HEARING ON SPEEDING CASE The case of Merrill Porter, son of Rev. F. T. Porter of Santa Ana, who was to appear in the justice court in Santa Ana yesterday to answer to a speeding charge, will not be heard until June 21. Porter was arrested in January by Traffic Officer H. S. Warner, for going 59 miles per hour. His trial was set June 21 to allow him time to finish school, but a clerical error put the trial date for June 2. Witnesses appeared yesterday to testify, but examination of the docket showed that the case will not be heard. BANKERS' MEETING LAST NIGHT; HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION The North Orange County Bank Association, comprised of fourteen banks of northern Orange county, held its annual meeting last night in Fullerton at the Farmers and Merchants bank. Adolph Thomas, president of the Golden State National bank, Anaheim, was re-elected president; W. A. Dolan, president of the Anaheim National bank, Anaheim was elected vice-president, and Ernest Zitzmann, cashier of the American Savings bank, of Anaheim, as elected secretary and treasurer. ERIE MULLICANE TO GO ON TRIAL JUNE 20 LOS ANGELES, June 3.—Hanging limply on the arm of her attorney, Miss Erie Mullicane, late yesterday, pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering her newly born baby. Superior Judge Houser set June 20 as the date for her trial after denying her application for bail. Miss Mullicane is accused of having strangled her baby to death a few hours after it was born. W. Elmer McComb, the Lebanon, Mo., banker charged by the twenty-year-old former housemaid with being the father of her baby and who was reported several days ago to have started for Los Angeles, has not arrived here, according to department of justice. children, broke down and wept for the first time since the trial began. Cecil displayed no concern over the fact that the jury failed to acquit him. "Oh it don't make any difference to me," he said, sticking his hands in his bulging pockets. "Only I hope I don't have to come back here again." The boy has been calm throughout his trial for shooting seven-year-old Bennie Slavin. After the disagreement he tucked the little thumb-worn map—his version of the tragedy—back in his blouse. "I'm going swimmin' as soon as they let me out of here, ma," said Cecil. "Ma" did not answer. "It's been awful cooped up here all the time. I'll be glad to get out." Cecil, although the jury disagreed, will get out, too. He is under $10,000 bond raised by the citizens of Ora, not far from here. None of the attorneys for the state were in the court room when the judge dismissed the jury. It is not known whether they will attempt to try the boy again. The red-eyed bedraggled jurymen, who tried to decide the fate of Cecil all last night instead of sleeping, reported to Judge Pentecost at the opening of court that they failed to agree. The judge sent them out for further deliberation. Cecil is charged with the murder of Bennie Slavin, his 7-year-old playmate. Voices of the jurymen could be heard from the little alcove above the county court house all night. They pleaded, argued and became angry with one another. They had their own convictions as to the fate of the boy and stuck by them. Cecil's case was discussed by candle light, a storm having put electric lights out of commission. Cecil, the subject of discussion, was not at all concerned in court today. His brown eyes were still pleading to its mother not to worry, and he chatted with her occasionally.

Mothers, sisters and wives of World War heroes will erect no greater monument to the memory of their loved ones than bringing about world disarmament. The government of the United States is a representative government, the people elect the officers to do their work, and the great work before the Congress and the President of the United States is taking the initial step in bringing an end to wasteful and wicked warfare.

TULSA, Okla., June 3.—Pillagers prying on burned and bloodstained Tulsa, gave authorities a new problem to cope with today. Systematic thievery in the districts razed during two days of race rioting was reported —even pianos have been carried away from the negro district which was wrecked by race hatred. Martial law, which was slackened after a day of quiet, was more strict today. A cordon of heavily armed guardsmen was thrown around the negodistrict to save what little remains of the property of negroes. GIVEN PERMIT IN PRISON Melville Bowles Sentenced For Taking Auto Of Walter Eden ADMITS BURGLARIES Melville Bowles of Orange was given an indeterminate sentence of from 1 to 10 years in San Quentin this morning by Superior Judge Z. B. West, when he pleaded guilty to stealing the Buick automobile of Walter Eden. Bowles and his partner, Clarence Noyes, took the Eden car from in front of the Yost theatre in Santa Ana last January. They drove to San Francisco, where Bowles admitted performing a number of burglaries. Bowles was later arrested in a rooming house in Los Angeles. After his arrest, Bowles made a statement to Sheriff Jackson in which he confessed to over twenty burglaries and holdup-ups in several of the principal cities of California. Warrants for his arrest are held in Sacramento and San Francisco. NEWPORT HARBOR JETTY WORK NOW READY FOR ROCK The trestlework for the county's extension of the main entrance jetty at Newport harbor is now about completed and Contractor Ledbetter is preparing to dump rock at a rapid rate during the next few weeks, according to his report to the Orange County Harbor Commission this week. The cars of rock are shunted down the trestle one at a time by a powerful auto truck with flanged wheels, and the rock is dumped in place at any point desired. The rebuilding of the Newport jetty will proceed at the same time as the extension is made, the smaller and larger sized rock being placed to the best possible advantage on any part of the work. BAD CHECK MAN IS ASKING ANOTHER TULSA, OKA., June 3 — Pillagers prying on burned and bloodstained Tulsa, gave authorities a new problem to cope with today. Systematic thievery in the districts rated during two days of race rioting was reported—even pianos have been carried away from the negro district which was wrecked by race hatred. Martial law, which was slackened after a day of quiet, was more strict today. A cordon of heavily armed guardsmen was thrown around the negro district to save what little remains of the property of negroes. General Barrett, in charge of the troops, early today began centrallyizing the property of negroes, found in their ruined snacks, into one large heap for identification and protection. Revised estimates now place the total death list, whites and negroes, at thirty killed and about 200 injured. Earlier reports placed the list of dead up to 175. This was due to multiplication of records among sheriff deputies, police, the national guard and other peace agencies. Although negroes were back at the posts of menial labor today, they were not at ease. It will take some time for them to overcome their fears after having been shot at and hardened about like cattle in a pasture for over thirty hours. It was considered miraculous that no sickness has developed in the camp of 3000 negroes in the Tulsa fair grounds. The citizens committee has started the despatch of supplies to needy negroes. The home of a lawyer—one of the few left standing in little Africa—was made the distributing center. Rantings of a secret negro cult was believed by authorities today to have fanned the race feeling. Members of an organization called "blood brothers" are said to have been the ones who stormed the jail to release the negro who is alleged to have assaulted a white girl. It was pointed out, however, that there agitators were the very small minority of the negro pupulation. Ten negroes, now held in a detention camp, are charged with inciting the riot, Cyrus Avery, member of the committee of seven in control of the city, said today. "Minerva," a sixty-year-old woman, was released from "inciting a riot" charge today following pleas by her washing clients. "Minerva" was fleeing the town with a bundle when she was arrested. In the bundle was found a revolver, but it later developed that her son had put the gun in the package. A definite effort will be made by Attorney General Freeling and other state officials to remove Mayor T. D. Evans, it was said today. Charges will be presented against the city authorities when the special grand jury called by District Judge Valjean Biddison meets June 8, according to BAD CHECK MAN IS ASKING ANOTHER CHANGE "OUT" Hearing the request for probation for Jack Rudolph, who pleaded guilty to a charge of cashing fictitious checks, was continued until next Friday. At his trial several weeks ago, Rudolph admitted cashing several bad checks. Since that time, nearly 70 checks that are said to have been written and cashed by him have been brought to the attention of the authorities.

BOOTLEGGER PAYS $100 FINE AFTER CHANGING HIS PLEA Chris Tryan, changed his plea from not guilty to guilty in Santa Ana before Justice Cox yesterday on a bootlegging charge, and paid a fine of $100. Tryan was arrested at his home in Olinda a week ago Sunday after officers had seen a boy leaving the house with a quart of whisky. When the arrest was made, Tryan admitted that he had been selling liquor, but changed his mind in court the next morning, and finally reverted to the first plea. CLERK PASSES WASHINGTON, June 3.
