USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor THE DOVE LISTENS; PEACE MAY COME. The dove of peace that for ages has been shot at almost every year somewhere on this earth and which lost its tail feathers and wings during the world war, shows sign of life. The rumble of the voice of the people clamoring for disarmament has wakened the dove and if the rumble is heard all over the earth, the dove of peace may yet grow feathers and be a real symbol of what Jesus Christ taught about peace on earth. Dispatches disclose the fact that the people of Japan are behind the movement for disarmament and elated over the lead taken by the United States. The British people too are hopeful, and when the disarmament conference is held (and it surely will be held) France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Russia and all great nations will be represented. One congregation in Anaheim passed a resolution, adopted unanimously yesterday, urging the Congress and the President to call an international conference with general disarmament as its one object and peace among nations, and friendliness its hope. So-called preparedness has failed to prevent wars. Germany prepared and Germany knows it didn't pay. It had the greatest army in the world and now it has the largest national force. HUNTINGTON BEACH SCENE OF TRAGEDY Airplane Falls in Big Crowd On Beach Killing One Man EIGHT ARE INJURED One man killed, eight persons were injured—two of whom may die—and scores of others narrowly escaped death at Huntington Beach yesterday noon in one of the most spectacular airplane accidents in the annals of American flying history. THE DEAD Jesse P. Bye, 19, of 593 Orange St., Riverside. THE INJURED Slade W. Hulbert, 31, airplane pilot, may die. Paul H. Jackson, 19, of Huntington Beach, may die. Helen Woodward, 18, of 2900 South Normandy street. Martha Sanford, 18, of 820 Kendall avenue, South Pasadena. Charles L. Boone, 27, of 121 Sixth street, Huntington Beach, Bunyon Thompson, Huntington Beach. Walter W. Wilson, 25, Huntington Beach. Samuel Martin, 37, Huntington Beach. With the exception of the Misses Sanford and Westside. One congregation in Anaheim passed a resolution, adopted unanimously yesterday, urging the Congress and the President to call an international conference with general disarmment as its one object and peace among nations, and friendliness its hope. So-called preparedness has failed to prevent wars. Germany prepared and Germany knows it didn't pay. It had the greatest army in the world and now it has the largest national cemetery on earth, where millions of loyal men are buried because their national leaders invited war. They got it. There is no reason on the side of war. War is a greater enemy to mankind than the open saloon. America has abolished the lesser evil and praise God there is evidence that the great evil is about to be banished. The millions of graves in France, Germany, Belgium, Canada, England and in the United States, filled by the world war are an indictment against Christian nations and the indictment can only be quashed by the voice of the people over-ruling the greedy hope of the war trusts that survive all wars at the expense of the so-called common people. Let all nations disarm to the minimum degree, and let wars be declared by a referendum vote. Then there will be no more wars and the dove of peace will have time to get to work raising a family of peace doves all over this great and wonderful world. FOOD FOR THOUGHT; PARENTAL GUIDANCE. A correspondent in Saturday's Anaheim Herald called attention of mothers and fathers to a dangerous practice that seems to be waging warfare against modesty all over the world, where so-called style envelopes common sense and common decency in the matter of wearing apparel. Throughout the land, ministers are urging parents to command their daughters to wear modest clothing and to do so themselves. In Los Angeles yesterday, two of the leading clergymen called attention to the cosmetic adorned high school girls of today and to the short dresses and low waists. While the use of cosmetics does not put the girls in the undersirable class of women, still it is not advisable. Nature and beauty unadorned by artificial means is not only more seemly, THE INJURED Slade W. Hulbert, 31, airplane pilot, may die. Paul H. Jackson, 19, of Huntington Beach, may die. Helen Woodward, 18, of 2900 South Norman-die street. Martha Sanford, 18, of 820 Kendall avenue, South Pasadena. Charles L. Boone, 27, of 121 Sixth street, Huntington Beach. Bunyon Thompson, Huntington Beach. Walter W. Wilson, 25, Huntington Beach. Samuel Martin, 37, Huntington Beach. With the exception of the Misses Sanford and Woodward, who are being treated at the Huntington Beach Inn, the other injured are at the Santa Ana hospital, where they were taken immediately after the crash. The body of Bye was removed to the under-taking parlor of C.S. Bundshuh at Huntington Beach. While hundreds of pleasure seekers gazed horror stricken at what was taking place, Hubert, piloting a machine in which Jackson was a passenger, swooped down in a tall spin to a point 150 feet above the Huntington Beach bathhouse, failed to recover from the spin and crashed through the falling of the bathhouse and taenice to the ground thirty feet below. Bye, sitting on the beach, was struck by the machine and crushed. Before he could be taken to a hospital he bled to death from a severed artery in the leg. Later examination showed that one leg was nearly severed from the body and many bones were broken. Hulbert and Jackson were caught in the debris of the plane and were extricated with difficulty. The other persons injured, failing to run from the spot after spectators had shouted agonized warnings, were struck by flying bits of railing and airplane. Coroner Charles D. Brown of this county stated the inquest will commence today over the body of Bye. The dead youth came to Riverside a year ago from Cortland, Indiana. He is survived by a brother, Walter, who lives at Riverside. The body will be shipped to Cortland for interment after the inquest. The flying of airplanes over a crowd at a height less than-1000 feet is prohibited in many places. Because of the fact that the ordinance is not effective over incorporated cities, the Aero Club Saturday sent out urgent appeals to all cities within the county to adopt similar ordinances. LEMON GROWERS IN COUNTY SEE BETTER MARKETS IN EAST With 50 per cent of their fruit eith- LEMON GROWERS IN COUNTY SEE BETTER MARKETS IN EAST With 50 per cent of their fruit either sold at low prices or dumped in refuse piles, lemon growers of Orange county are anticipating a fair average for the present crop through a stiff advance in prices on the eastern markets. It is estimated that there are stored in the packing houses of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, south and east of Santa Ana river, at least 125 cars, and it is estimated that around 450 cars will be shipped between this date and November. "LIFETIME" WARE SALE AT AHLSWEDE'S NOW ON Another sale of "life time" aluminum ware is on at Ahlswede's store this week. The sale started this morning and will continue through the week. These "life time" aluminum sales are being conducted all over Southern California this week, the same as was done several weeks ago. At that time Mr. Ahlswede's sales were greater than all other stores in Orange county. FAVOR DISARMAMENT TQKIO, June 6.—Yukio Ozakl, former Minister of Justice and a leader in the movement for curtailment in naval expenditures by disarmament, after a lecture tour, reports he found sentiment everywhere he went in Japan in conformity with his views. ANAHEIM DAILY HEAD PAGES ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, MONDAY, June 6, 1921 SNAPPY GAME ENDS WITH ANAHEIM ELKS WINNING 3 TO 2 RUNS Those who saw the ball game between the Anaheim Elks team and the Knights of Columbus team at Fullerton field yesterday afternoon are unanimous in the declaration that it was the best ball game seen in these parts for many weeks. It was a tight, hard fought game throughout and only in the last half of the ninth inning did Anaheim score the winning run, putting the score 3 to 2. Salveson pitched a great game for Anaheim and was relieved in the eighth by Hughes when the score was tied. In the ninth inning, when Anaheim faced a score of 2 to 2, Bush got on and when he reached second, Youngman made a pretty and clean hit over third, scoring Bush, and winning the game. A return game was immediately asked by the K. of C. manager and next Sunday the teams will meet again. CIRCULATION MAN OF HERALD MARRIED IN LOS ANGELES George R. Patrick, circulation manager of the Anaheim Herald, became ORCHESTRA IN CONCERT HERE TONIGHT Orange County Symphony To Be Heard in the High School Auditorium ARTISTS ON PROGRAM Tonight, in the high school auditorium, the Orange County Symphony Orchestra, will give its first concert in Anaheim, and seat sales today indicate that the musicians will face a full house when the performance begins promptly at 8 o'clock. There are some real artists in the orchestra, and it has been heard with considerable pleasure in other parts of the county the past season. This will be the last concert of the organization during the present season. Harold Walberg, conductor of the orchestra, who has done remarkable work with the organization will present the following program: Overture: "Morning, Noon and Night" (von Suppe); Description of a Day in Vienna, Orchestra. "Land of the Sky Blue Water," (DeHadadian), "Love's Rhapsody," (DeHadadian). METEOR SHOWERS ARE DUE TOMORROW EVENING If you are interested in Pons-Winnecke's comet, which makes a trip around the sun every six years, watch for meteor showers in the sky tomorrow night. If the weather be clear, you can see them. The comet will be within "speaking distance," which is about 12,000,000 miles tomorrow, and will keep getting closer until June 27, when it will be only about 1,000,000 miles away. After that it will start off again, traveling at forty miles a second, which is more than twice as fast as the earth is able to pace through space. Although meteor showers will precede the approach of the comet, the cofet itself will not be visible here. However, it is something to see a sky shower, and for the next ten days observations of the phenomenon may be expected to be a favorite evening diversion.* KIWANIANS LISTEN TO RAIL EXPERT TOMORROW NOON H. B. Pitcomb, first vice-president of the Pacific Electric, will be the speaker at the weekly luncheon. CIRGULATION MAN OF HERALD MARRIED IN LOS ANGELES George R. Patrick, circulation manager of the Anaheim Herald, became a benedict today, when Mrs. Irene Cassidy became his bride at the parish house of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Los Angeles, Rev. Father Conaty presiding. The marriage was a quiet affair, Mr. Hubert Janss of Anaheim being the only attendant, and two daughters of the bride the only immediate relatives of the parties present. Following the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served and Mr. and Mrs. Patrick left for Catalina Island to remain until the end of the week. They will make their home in Anaheim. GIRL AVIATOR DIES WHEN PLANE TAKES ITS LAST LEAP MINEOLA, N.Y., June 6.—Miss Laura Bromwell, 23 years old, holder of the "loop the loop" record for women, and one of the best known women pilots in the world, was killed at Mitchel field yesterday. She was flying at an altitude of about 1000 feet. She had just completed one loop and was about to make a second when something went wrong with the plane and it crashed. Miss Bromwell established her record May 15, when she made 199 loops in an hour and twenty minutes. Military observers declared the motor stopped abruptly as the plane was making the upward turn of the loop. Suddenly the machine fell backward into a tail spin and dropped like a plummet. The girl's lifeless body was found in the wreckage. Aviators declared the girl's apparent inability to manipulate the control levers in an effort to right the plane, probably was due to her being swung from the seat so she could not reach them. Her home was in Cincinnati. If a man has had his chance and acquired nothing more than a nice taste in perfumes, he enjoys sneering at self-made men. There are some real artists in the orchestra, and it has been heard with considerable pleasure in other parts of the county the past season. This will be the last concert of the organization during the present season. Harold Walberg, conductor of the orchestra, who has done remarkable work with the organization will present the following program: Overture: "Morning, Noon and Night" (von Suppe); Description of a Day in Vienna, Orchestra.

March, "National Emblem" (Badgley), Orchestra. OVER 15,000 INCHES OF PUBLICITY GIVEN ORANGE SHOW According to measurement made of the collection of newspaper clippings gathered by one clipping bureau, the Chamber of Commerce announced today that 15,000 inches of publicity was given the Valencia Orange show in this section of the state. This does not include publicity and pictures in newspapers outside of California. Valued at $2 an inch (first page publicity average rates) the show received $30,000 worth of publicity. Tom Wilkinson, who was chairman of the advertising and publicity committee of the Valencia Orange show, has received much praise for his success in securing so much publicity for the show. In a lighted hall, the toddle is called a dance. But the same movements on the street are described by the judge as drunk and disorderly. KIWANIANS LISTEN TO RAIL EXPERT TOMORROW NOON H. B. Pitcomb, first vice-president of the Pacific Electric, will be the speaker at the weekly luncheon at the Kiwani Club tomorrow at ta Anaheim union high school. Mr. Pitcomb is considered an availibility on railways and transportation problems and will discuss the railway situation in general. PRIVATE STILL TAKEN OVER BY OFFICIALS Sheriff Jackson and Under Sheriff French broke up Charles Gillin's private distillery and brewery, according to reports received from Santa Ana today. The officers called at the Holman ranch at Westminster last night and took Gillin in custody to await action of the courts. With Gillin the officers took 97 bottles of beer, 4 cases of malt, 38 gallon crocks of wine, half gallon or brandy, a 50 gallon barrel of wine and Gillin's private still. TWO BADLY HURT IN AUTO CRASH TODAY Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Pullin of Santa Ana are in the county hospital today as the result of an automobile accident which occurred at the intersection of Camilla and Main streets, Santa Ana. A car driven by S. B. Eaton, also of Santa Ana, collided with Pullin when he was forced to turn out to avoid a car approaching on Camilla street. Both Dr. and Mrs. Pullin were badly hurt. Mrs. Pullin is badly cut over the right eye, and bruised and cut by broken glass. Dr. Pullin sustained severe internal injuries when he was forced against the stering wheel. He was also cut by flying glass. Eaton and his wire received brushed knee caps and are painfully lacerated by bits from the broken windshield. Eaton declares that he failed to see the car coming on Camilla street until too late. Turning out to avoid striking the unknown car, Eaton and Pullin met in a head collision.

D. Stephens in a statement explaining his veto of Senate bill 454, an amendment to the Teachers' Rretirement Act. The purpose of the amendment, the statement said, was first to supplement the present retirement salaries, which, under prevailing economic conditions, are scarcely adequate; second, to avert, for a limited number of years, a threatened cash deficiency in the retirement fund." The governor holds, his statement says, that "an increased benefit would induce the voluntary, retirement of many teachers eligible to retire, who under the prevailing benefits, will continue in the active service of the schools. It is a question, therefore, whether the cash deficiency now threatening the system would not be hastened rather than postponed by the operation of this bill." There are approximately 750 former school teachers on the retired salary roll, the governor says, with an many active teachers eligible to retire.

That question is going to be decided by government agents, according to announcement made Saturday at Mt. Lowe, where Southern California secretaries of Chambers of Commerce assembled in conference. One of the secretaries told the audience, according to Malcolm Fraser, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce who was present, declared that government agents have been working on the dairy industry and milk prices for a fortnight and more, and it is believed sequestral disclosures will be made at the time their report is made to government authorities.

IS ORGLED BY METHODISTS Calls for Conference of Big Nations With View To End Warfare WILL BE FORWARDED Yesterday was a great day in the churches all over the nation and this applies to Anaheim as well. Word had been sent out from all church heads several days ago that Sunday, June 5, would be observed as disarmament day and as a result, disarmament as a means of promoting peace on earth was discussed in thousands of churches before millions of people. All Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergymen and all denominations were asked to join in this big move to end warfare among the peoples of the world, and it is now expected that a move of this kind will be made in Europe. The advance guard of members of the women's peace movement left New York last Saturday to attend a conference of war mothers in Paris this month, and they will institute a program to oring disarmament before the heads of all nations. At the White Temple church yesterday the congregation went on record unanimously in favor of a world conference to be called by the President of the United States with the end in view of bringing about general disarmament. The resolution drawn by Attorney Hemmi and adopted by a standing vote of the entire congregation follows: "Remembering some of the terrible consequences of the recent World War, and realizing the awful burden thereby placed upon the leading nations of the world, and remembering also the previous and subsequent great cost of heavy armaments and big navies, and believing that such a policy tends to win, besides keeping people under heavy taxation—a policy which gives force to autocracy and tends to cripple democracy; a policy which, as history shows, brings destruction and sorrow, we believe it behooves the nations of the earth to abandon such wicked and foolish practice and adopt permanent peace and lasting happiness, therefore, "Resolved, by the congregation of the Methodist White Temple of Anaheim, California, in regular meeting assembled, that we most prayerfully and urgently request the president and congress of the United States to form secretaries of Chambers of Commerce assembled in conference. One of the secretaries told the audience, according to Malcolm Fraser, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce who was present, declared that government agents have been working on the dairy industry and milk prices for a fortnight; and more, and it is believed separational disclosures will be made at the time their report is made to government authorities. According to Mr. Fraser, the internec was given at the Mt. Lowe meeting that because of the reduction in costs of operating dairies, milk should be selling at from 5 to 8 cents lower than it is being sold in nearly all Southern California points. Milk is selling in Anaheim at 16 cents from one dairy, and when purchased at the grocery store, is 20 cents. The prices range from 16 cents to 20 cents. If the investigation brings the result forecasted by government agents, milk will soon sell in Anaheim at 11 and 12 cents, putting it within reach of many people who cannot afford to buy at the present prices. POSTOFFICE BUNCH ENJOYS AN OUTING SATURDAY NIGHT (Contributed) Word was passed around at the beginning of the week that the post-office "bunch" was going to have an outing to the beach on Saturday, after the closing hour of 6 o'clock p.m. A proclamation was duly issued, setting forth in high sounding terms, the great event: City Carrier Baum was appointed master of transportation; Miss Robinson, quartermaster general; Elden R. Deering and Chas W. Hedges were in command of the advance guard, to seek and prepare a suitable place for the camp. No R. Phillips, was appointed chief musician and poet laureate, whose duty it was to furnish entertainment. During the week, several councils of war were held and plans discussed relative to the eats. Quoting the poet laureate: "Said Alice to the Bunch Oh what shall we have to eat, e-a-t? Chorus: Well, beans and pies and hot dogs are hard to b-e-a-t." At last, Saturday came. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the advance guard, being off duty, showed off quietly to prepare camp, gather wood for the fires, start the coffee and set things in order generally; leaving the rest of the "Bunch" to take care of the afternoon incoming mail, dispatch to the last train of the day, lick and cancel several thousands stamps, distribute letters, papers and parcels. Dr. Pullin sustained people under heavy taxation—a policy which gives force to autocracy and tends to cripple democracy; a policy which, as history shows, brings destruction and sorrow, we believe it behooves the nations of the earth to abandon such wicked and foolish practice and adopt permanent peace and lasting happiness, therefore. "Resolved, by the congregation of the Methodist White Temple of Anaheim, California, in regular meeting assembled, that we most prayerfully and urgently request the president and congress of the United States to call an international conference of leading nations to device and carry out a plan of general disarmament, to the end that peace and good will may prevail throughout the world for all time. "Adopted this fifth day of June, A. D.; 1921. James Allen Geissinger, pastor of the Methodist White Temple and president of the official board. H. W. Lewis, secretary official board." A copy of this resolution will be sent to President Harding, Senator Johnson and oCngressman Phil D. Swing, with the request that they do their utmost to bring about the result desired. PRELIMINARY STARTS The preliminary examination of Y. W. Chun, a Korean, is scheduled to be held in Santa Ana this afternoon. Chun was arrested by Under Sheriff E. E. French and Deputy Zabel for driving a automobile on the Delhi road while under the influence of intoxicating liquors. SUIT TO RECOVER Civil action to collect $1800 said to be due from H. C. White on the purchase of an automobile was started this morning by the Anaheim National bank. White purchased an Auburn automobile from G. R. Franklin last September, and according to Franklin, $1800 is yet unpaid. The bank purchased Franklin's interest in the debt. JUDGE APPOINTED SACRAMENTO, June 6. — George R. Freeman of Corona, was appointed superior judge of Riverside county by Governor Stephens Saturday night. Inureate: "Said Alice to the Bunch, Oh what shall we have to eat, e-a-t? Chorus: Well, beans and pies and hot dogs are hard to b-e-a-t." At last, Saturday came. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the advance guard, being off duty, shoved off quietly to prepare camp, gather wood for the fires, start the coffee and set things in order generally; leaving the rest of the "Bunch" to take care of the afternoon incoming mail, dispatch to the last train of the day, lick and cancel several thousands stamps, distribute letters, papers and parcels, write money orders and answer questions (such as is asked frequently) and give such information as is required of a well ordered and well informed postoffice bunch. Great bustling, hurrying and bustling came at 6 p.m. In another five minutes the last detail is on the way, making the rear guard of the postoffice bunch, which was scattered along the highway all the way from the post office to Huntington Beach. The sun stood like a great ball of red fire low upon the horizon, ready to sink into the great ocean, when we arrived about one mile north of Huntington Beach. The advance guard had selected a splendid location behind a great sand dune, sheltered from the ocean breeze coming from the west, and secure from the passing traffic on the east. The camp was located in a great natural trench, overgrown with grass, and the bottom covered thickly with rigorous and blooming growth of wild radishes. It was picturesque setting, with a blazing fire and men, women and children gathered in a large semicircle, some standing, others sitting on automobile cushions, in the sand or improvised seats of empty boxes covered with lap robes, chatting, talking and laughing. It looked like the family of an ancient patriarch preparing to camp for the night. All but the rear guard had now arrived. Coffee was made and preparation made for frying the ever popular "hot dog." The advance guard had foraged a plentiful supply of dry driftwood, cooking utensils and everything imaginable, which goes to make up a successful camping trip. Pies, cakes, douganuts, buns, salads, pickles, sweet and sour, in great quantities and of best quality were...
