USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor EDUCATIONAL AIM; THE RACE PROBLEM. President Harding addressed a negro audience at the Lincoln Memorial University in Pennsylvania yesterday and referring to the race riot at Tulsa, declared that "education is the solution of the race problem." The President did not mean, of course, that an educated negro is going to be welcomed in the homes of white people, but he did mean that when the negro is educated, he will appreciate and enjoy his own sphere of activity and follow the natural avenues of competitive life without aims and hopes to gain what is called "social equality." The race problem is not a matter of social equality. It is not the color of the negro's skin that makes him impossible as a companion of whites. The East is East and the West is West—the North is North and the South is South, and so it is with the race problem, whether it be black, white, yellow or any other color. We seldom hear of a Mongolian and Caucasian marriage, and it is quite natural that people of various races marry their own kind. The negro has acquired a good education seldom strives for recognition by whites. He knows whites and blacks do not harmonize either as to ideals or aspirations. DEMORALIZED PUEBLO IS SLOWLY TO RELIAZATION CALAMITY, PEOPLE A Bodies Continue Appearing as Flood Tragedies Mount; Militiaman Stops Hearse to Find Father's Body CITY MAKING EFFORTS TO GET PUEBLO, Colo., June 7. — The first funeral service over a Pueblo victim was held today at undertaking parlors where ten other drowned lie. William Korber, a blacksmith, was the first one placed under ground. His cortege was black hearse and one car of mourners. A curious crowd saw the body off to the north side cemetery. PUEBLO, Colo., June 7. — The known dead in the Arkansas valley flood grew slowly today as bodies were given up by the turbulent stream, while Pueblo, with 35 victims in morgues, rapidly recovered from the effects of Friday's cloudburst some bodies w stream.

During th service was rest residential district South is South, and so it is with the race problem, whether it be black, white, yellow or any other color. We seldom hear of a Mongolian and Caucasian marriage, and it is quite natural that people of various races marry their own kind. The negro who has acquired a good education seldom strives for recognition by whites. He knows whites and blacks do not harmonize either as to ideals or aspirations. There is a very active sphere in life for the black race and as the President told the negro college students, when they educate themselves, they will have no worry over the race problem. Their future welfare is in their own hands. LAND AND WATER; ROOM FOR ALL There are thousands and thousands of officers and men of the American army and navy who probably look upon the coming disarmament of the world as a rude thrust at them, a move that will force them into work and business they know nothing about. This should not and will not have a partical of weight with the millions who are tired of wars and talk of wars. Army and navy officers and men have of course been removed from activities of the business world, but their education and training will equip them to earn a livelihood anywhere if they make up their minds so to do. While we do not know it to be a fact, we believe every navy and army officer has a hope, stowed away somewhere in his mind, that he will some day be able to put in practice the strategy he has learned in the navy or army. We can almost see navy officers having visions of the annihilation of an imaginary enemy and the same with army officers. The world has hitherto made a business of war. Millions of men have been trained to fight, to slay. The new order of things will not incorporate slaying. This is a very poor Christian era if men are to be trained to kill, for in the code of life handed down by a Great General, there is one very short and very definite commandment that says "thou shalt not kill." The law does not except wars, it is aimed at wars as well as everything else that slays. It means that mankind shall not settle disputes and difficulties by slaying, either among cortexe was black hearse and one car of mourners. A curious crowd saw the body off to the north side cemetery. PUEBLO, Colo., June 7. — The known dead in the Arkansas valley flood grew slowly today as bodies were given up by the turbulent stream, while Pueblo, with 35 victims in morgues, rapidly recovered from the effects of Friday's cloudburst. A murder was added to the city's gethsemene at midnight Monday when E. E. Withers, prominent citizen, whose iron and fuel plant was wiped out by the flood, was killed while riding with his son in a touring car. The little town of Baxter, 6 miles from Pueblo, reported a death loss comparable with this city's. The Kendall household of nine persons perished and other farmers' families are reported missing. The Kendalls did not heed the warning to flee. Three bodies were reported to have been found at Olneey Springs, in the River Valley. Another is reported found at Vineland, 10 miles down stream from Pueblo. The recovery of four bodies here, including that of Dr. E. R. Cary, Pueblo optometrist, bore out fears that EARTHQUAKE NEAR WRECKS A VESSEL OFF THIS COAST VANCOUVEER, June 7. — The thirsty ocean yawned and almost engulfed the Steamer Spectator a few days ago, according to report in marine circles here. The British vessel was bound for Vancouver from Mexico City with 10,000 cases of Scotch whisky aboard. The vessel was 150 miles off the California coast, according to the report, when an earthquake mussed up the bed of the ocean. A grinding sucking noise followed and the ship was sucked down. The engines stopped dead, and there was a hill of water on each side. This lasted ninety seconds, and then the vessel pulled clear. Two minutes later the ocean took another gulp at her, but found her too hard a pill to swallow, and finally permitted her to proceed on her way without further peril. Whether the gulping was a reflection of the mental attitude of California citizens, or whether the members of the Spectator's crew had been carrying his faith nationally the driver's challenge wieth that he had the boy broke down.

Governor Oliver Hado issued an appeal a large relief fund scription, to be placed on the Red Cross. The city's gas supply of commission. Coastal only source of l purposes. The principal stress district were scarred as far as the railroad yards, how in stagnant water and desolate sight. One out of seven couples in the United States marry the wrong person, but what we started to say is that one of the big reasons for so much discontent among the married folks is the cost of high living. The House went the Senate one better in the disarmament program by applying it to land as well as the sea. Now if the joint session will include the air, everybody will be satisfied. Maybe lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but if the price of milk in Anaheim doesn't get a wallop pretty soon, somebody will ask the reason. A judge in Northern California financed a wealthy man $75 for possessing venison out of season. Had he been a poor man, killing venison in order to exist, we wonder what the judge would have done? Speed the day when battleships and carriages can be seen only in picture books, the same as we today see pictures of barbarous things of other dark ages. An eastern florist says married men are his best customers. What we want to know, however, is whether single women got the posies. MAMMOTH TUSK IS FOUND IN OREGON EUGENE, Ore., June 7.—The discovery of a mammoth's tusk, a remnant of the pleistocene, or glacial age, was found three miles south of here by two geology students, Delmar L. Powers and Fred E. Wilson. The discovery substantiates a step further the recently made claim that the country around Eugene was once under the sea, and was later a part of an ancient shore line. The tusk was found six feet underground, lying horizontally at a break between the reddish yellow shale, and was overlaid by gray chalk. Another portion of the same tusk was dug up near the bank of a stream about a mile distant, Powers and Wilson said. This is the second such tusk which has been found near here during the past year. SUIT IS FILED FOR COMMISSION SAID TO BE DUE PLAINTIFF Suit to collect $1200 alleged to be due as commission was filed with the county clerk Monday by Irving I. Turner against J. Schenkin. Turner alleges that he as a member of Hartford and Greenleaf and that Schenkin employed the services of the firm in securing a buyer for certain business which he desired to sell.

Cary and John Still were cast up by the river at the town of Booneville, 20 miles down stream. One of the first to learn of Still's death was his son, John T. Still, a militiaman. The boy stopped the hoarse carrying his father's body. Unintentionally the driver replied to the sentry's challenge with the information that he had the body of John Still. The boy broke down and wept. A few bodies are reported to have been surrendered by the river at Avondale. Conditions in Pueblo proper, however, were vastly improved today. During the night electric light service was restored. Most of the residential districts and the business SCENES OF FAMOUS 91ST DIVISION BE SHOWN IN ANAHIEM The Anaheim Post of the American Legion has made arrangements to show a picture of the 91st division (Pacific coast states) in action on the Belgian front and at the Argonne, according to announcement today. The picture, which will be shown here next Wednesday, will show how the signal corps worked during the activities of this great division in the world war, and will be of great interest to many of the people here who had sons or brothers or other relatives in the 91st. HARD LUCK ENTERING HARBOR HOLDS UP LUMBER CARGO Held up all day at the entrance to the harbor by "hard luck," the steamship "Albion" with 15,000 feet of lumber from Los Angeles harbor did not dock at Newport Harbor until last night, and the unloading of the cargo was in progress today at the syndicate wharf near the cannery. The expectation was that the entire cargo would be unloaded by late this afternoon and that the ship would BLIND PIG CASE COSTS OPERATOR SUM OF $150 FINAL Charles Gillis, arrested in a blind pig raid on the Hellman ranch near Westminster, pleaded guilty to the charge of manufacturing intoxicating liquors, and was fined $150 by Justice J. B. Cox. Gillis was arrested yesterday by Sheriff C. E. Jackson. He at first denied that he had anything to do with the "hooch," but later admitted that he had made it. Four cases of Bronaco malt, 97 bottles of beer, 38 gallons of home brew, 300 empty bottles, five fifty gallon bottles of wine, a half gallon bottle of brandy and a sack of elder berries were confiscated, and brought into the sheriff's office on a truck. Officers also seized a huge copper still and complete distilling apparatus and several empty demijohns and kegs. TWO NEW COMPANIES FILE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION Articles of incorporation were filed Monday in the county clerk's office, for the Mt. Ontario Mining Company and the Huntington Drillers Oil Company. The oil company is incorporated for $350,000, and 7000 shares will be sold. The directors of the company are J. H. Macklin, William Meredith, K. A. carrying his father's body. Unintentionally the driver replied to the sentry's challenge with the information that he had the body of John Still. The boy broke down and wept. A few bodies are reported to have been surrendered by the river at Avendale. Conditions in Pueblo proper, however, were vastly improved today. During the night electric light service was restored. Most of the residential districts and the business sections now have city water. While epidemics of disease seem less likely to break out, the United States public health service relaxed none of its vigilance. A score of health service officers and nurses directed the sanitary survey of the city. The plans for erecting a concentration camp for the homeless went forward today. Arrival of supplies for the camp were awaited by the military authorities. The clean-up drive in the flood area was renewed with greater vigor today. Under a warm, clear sky the mud was rapidly drying and made the work easier. City officials awaited replies from their appeals to Washington for federal aid of $5,000,000 to $20,000,000 for relief and highway and levee repairs in the river valley. J. L. Fieser, manager of the Southwestern division of the American Red Cross, was expected to reach Puello this afternoon to take charge of the relief. The Red Cross has given $50,000 of its own funds and is considering an appeal to the entire country. Governor Oliver H. Shoup of Colorado issued an appeal to the state for a large relief fund by popular subscription, to be placed at the disposal of the Red Cross. The city's gas supply was still out of commission. Coal and wood were the only source of heat for domestic purposes. The principal streets in the business district were rapidly being shared as far as the river front. The railroad yards, however, still deep in stagnant water and mud, was a desolate sight. LUMBER CARGO Held up all day at the entrance to the harbor by "hard luck," the steamship "Albion" with 15,000 feet of lumber from Los Angeles harbor did not dock at Newport Harbor until last night, and the unloading of the cargo was in progress today at the syndicate wharf near the cannery. The expectation was that the entire cargo would be unloaded by late this afternoon and that the ship would leave on the outgoing tide tonight. The "hard luck" in question was a heavy swell, which caught the Albion at an inopportune moment as sae was making her way into the harbor and thrust her side-on into a bar which extends part way across the entrance, and there she lay until pulled off by tugs at last nights high tide. Inasmuch as the entrance channel has not yet been dredged under the county's bond issue, the existing channel is winding and as the ship was making one of the turns the swell forced her from the narrow channel onto the bar. A repetition of this incident, harbor authorities declare, will not be possible this fall, after the big dredger has straightened the entrance channel, widened K to 300 feet, and deepened it to 16 feet at low tide. HORSE STEALING SUSPECT BROUGHT FROM UP-STATE City Marshal Ed Thwing of Fullerton was expected to return today from Fresno with Ernest Hansen of Placentia, who was arrested there last Friday. Hansen is wanted on several complaints. He is charged with stealing a horse in this county and another in Tulare county. Several burglary jobs in this county, Los Angeles and Fresno are also charged to Hansen. It is understood that he will be held in the county jail pending his preliminary hearing. PRINTERS MEET Job printers of Orange county are arranging a banquet to be held at the New Rossmore hotel, Santa Ana, on Wednesday evening of this week at 6:30 o'clock. Harry T. Watson, district manager for George H. Morrill Ink company, will be the principal speaker, taking as his subject "Color as Applied to Advertising." FILE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION Articles of incorporation were filed Monday in the county clerk's office, for the Mt. Ontario Mining Company and the Huntington Drillers Oil Company. The oil company is incorporated for $350,000, and 7000 shares will be sold. The directors of the company are J. H. Macklin, William Meredith, K. A. Hoosie, C. E. Lavering, and Hyle Howard. Five shares have been sold to date. The mining company has named Garden Grove as its principal place of business. George Hudson, John W. Hudson, A. Schnitzer, Nate Dunsdon and J. C. Mitchell have been made directors, and have subscribed for one share each of the 25,000 shares. PRESBYTERIANS CALL PASTOR OF LOS ANGELES HERE At a congregational meeting held yesterday at the First Presbyterian church here, a call was extended to the Rev. Thomas H. Walker to fill the pulpit of the church. The Rev. Mr. Walker is now located at Boyle Heights. Los Angeles where he is pastor of the Boyle Heights Presbyterian church. He is highly recommended by the presbytery as a man of great tact and sterling worth, while Mrs. Walker and other members of the family are said to have been a constant help and inspiration to the young people of the community where the Rev. Mr. Walker has served as pastor. It is the hope of the church members that the call will be considered favorably and an early decision is expected. JUDGE COX SECURES WORK FOR MEN WHO CAME BEFORE HIM "It is as much my duty to get fellows like you jobs as it is to send you to jail." Justice Cox told Hayne Partridge and Dewey Patterson, arrested on a vagrancy charge yesterday. The two were given a thirty day sentence after a plea of guilty. They said that they had been working and would work again if they could locate a job. The judge suspended their sentence and promised to put them to work. The principal streets in the business district were rapidly being cleared as far as the river front. The railroad yards, however, still deep in stagnant water and mud, was a desolate sight.

They said that they had been working and would work again if they could locate a job. The judge suspended their sentence and promised to put them to work. JAPANESE WOMAN SWEARS OUT ORDER AGAINST MOTORIST Mrs. K. Tsuhara, a Japanese woman of Ananelm yesterday swore to a complaint in the justice court charging Frank McCoy, supposed to be a resident of San Gabriel, with reckless driving. Her 7-year-old son was seriously injured December 31, last, when the car in which he was riding was struck by a machine said to have been driven by McCoy. Tsuhara, who was driving the car in which his son was seated, secured the license number of the McCoy machine. According to Mrs. Tsuhara, McCoy refused to give his name at the time of the accident. S. B. Kaufman, attorney for the Japanese woman, finally traced McCoy through the license number. His present whereabouts are unknown, however. SEEK MOTORCYCLIST A report of a collision between an unknown motorcycle rider, and A. W. Thompson of El Toro driving a Dodge car, was received at the Sheriff's office today. According to Thompson the accident occurred yesterday noon near the Irvine school. Both the car and motorcycle were damaged to some extent, and the motorcycle rider suffered a broken nose. No reason for the accident was given. HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE 7, 1921 NO. 172 PIG CASE TS OPERATOR NUM OF $150 FINE arrested yesterday by Jackson.

SEEKS SITE FOR FACTORY TO COMMERCIALIZE BY-PRODUCTS OF ALL CITRUS FRUITS HERE Learned Chemist Would Utilize Waste Material in Citrus Industry, Hundreds of Tons of Which are Thrown Away Each Year WANTS SITE IN CENTER OF CITRUS INDUSTRY PLANS FOR COUNTY BUILDINGS ARE AUTHORIZED The board of supervisors today authorized John Parkinson, Los Angeles architect, to draw plans and compile specifications for a new hall of records and a new county jail. The approximate cost of the two buildings will be $200,000, half of which is on hand now and the balance will be available next year. M. K. Serailian, acknowledged to be the father of the grape syrup industry of the United States, was a guest of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday seeking a center for the manufacture of by-products of oranges, lemons and grapefruit, which annually go to waste in this vicinity to the extent of hundreds of tons. Mr. Serailian is an Armenian by birth and the descendant of a family in Cappadocia that has made a living for generations by distilling perfumes from flowers. His father's plant was the only one in that historic country devoted to this industry. Mr. Serailian is a graduate of the The board of supervisors today authorized John Parkinson, Los Angeles architect, to draw plans and compile specifications for a new hall of records and a new county jail. The approximate cost of the two buildings will be $200,000, half of which is on hand now and the balance will be available next year. The new hall of records will occupy the site where the county jail is now located and the new jail will be located where the sheriff's office now stands. BAKE-RITE BAKERS BUY VALENCIA GRILL LEASE W. C. Johnston, who has operated the Valencia Grill for three months, has sold his lease and business to the Bake-Rite Bakers, a California corporation, who will take possession about June 20. Mr. Johnson is going to Burbank where he has very good prospects and dislikes leaving Anaheim, which he considers one of the most progressive cities in the state and where he has made many friends. TWO CONVICTED OF SHOPLIFTING WILL BE SENTENCED SOON Emma and Antonia Magana were found guilty this morning of petty larceny, before Justice of the Peace J. B. Cox. They will be sentenced tomorrow. The pair were charged with shoplifting, complaints being issued at the request of Herbert P. Rankin and H. Leipsiv, dry goods store owners in Santa Ana. Leipsic testified that he saw Emma Magana put a remnant of clothing into her shopping bag. She was arrested then, testimony showed, and the bag was found to contain over a dozen articles with the price tag from Rankin's store still attached. Clerks in both stores testified that Mr. Serailian is an Armenian by birth and the descendant of a family in Cappadocia that has made a living for generations by distilling perfumes from flowers. His father's plant was the only one in that historic country devoted to this industry. Mr. Serailian is a graduate of the American college established there, and won degrees in art and science, afterwards serving as a teacher until 1892, when he came to the United States and took a full course at the Taylor university in Indiana and a postgraduate course in the University of Chicago, majoring in chemistry. He has been in California for nearly a quarter of a century, during which time he has also made a name for himself among the landscape painters of this picturesque region. For several years Mr. Serailion was an enthusiastic student of Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa. His experimentation, every vintage season with characteristic California types of grapes, resulted in the perfection of a new process which takes his name, and he is recognized by the California Grape Growers, national organ of the American grape industry, as having solved the principal problems in association of the constituents of the grape. He is now at work making syrups from citrus fruits. His vacuum pan has overcome the greatest difficulties in concentration. Yesterday, with the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and E. M. Chalmers, he visited the laboratory of the Citricube Company and took samples to Los Angeles with aim of this interesting product. It is Mr. Serailian's wish to locate a plant as near as possible to the center of the greatest lemon district in California so that the essential oils and other by-products of waste lemons may be saved and marketed. Any person interested in suggesting such a lorality will be afforded all possible information and co-operation through the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce to whose efforts is due the visit of this ascomplished srholar.

The suit has been brought annually for six years, and in each instance has been decided in favor of the county. Three of the actions are now awaiting decision in the appellate court. The complaint asserts that the assessments fixed by the county assessor is excessive, unfair and unjust and that the assessor acted arbitrarily and in disregard of the law. EXPRESS COMPANY MAY HAVE LARGE FINE; OVERLOADED The Boulevard Express Company of San Diego, will probably pay one of the largest traffic violation fines on record, if the offense of having an overloaded truck on the county road is proven against them. A truck owned by that company was stopped on the Buena Park boulevard last night by Motorcycle Officer H. S. Warner. It was found that the weight of the truck was slightly over 34,275 pounds. This is 10,875, or nearly six tons in excess of the overload truck ordinance. The ordinary fine is $20 per ton of overload, which will cost the San Diego company just $120. It is not known whether the San Diego company will dispute the case or not.
