USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. TEN PAGES Now and Then By The Editor WITHIN THE LAW; MERITORIOUS MOVE. A group of citizens of Anaheim appeared before the city trustees last night and urged the passage of a more drastic ordinance for enforcement of prohibition. It is a well known fact that the prohibition law is being broken, twisted, and otherwise mutilated in Anaheim. It is reported that one doctor in Anaheim has written over 2,000 prescriptions for liquor and that an Anaheim drug store majors in filling these prescriptions. According to reliable information, the drug store can very easily abandon the drug business entirely if the prescriptions for liquor continue to pour in, and make a very "comfortable" living without selling another dim-diddled drug or bottle of Peruna. The medical doctor and the drug store are probably within the law, but dangerously close to the point of breaking it. That the intent of the law is not being carried out by the medical doctor is evident and obvious. That the intent of the law is not worrying the druggist is also evident and obvious. Reputable doctors seldom write liquor prescriptions.

Reputable doctors seldom write liquor prescriptions. Reputable drug stores do not and will not major in the liquor traffic. WITHOUT NOTICE; FOLLIES OF LIFE. The sudden death of Colonel Galbraith comander of the American Legion and the sudden deaths wrought by the Pueblo flood is a reminder that life is very uncertain. No man knows at the beginning of the day whether he shall survive it. His "goodbye" at home may be his last. Life is a privilege that may be taken at any moment. The thing we call death is no respector of persons. It takes us all eventually, and sometimes we cannot understand why great and good men and women are taken when in the prime of life and the more or less useless and worthless citizens are allowed to live. It has always been thus and will be thus so long as mankind endures. None of us are ready to die. no matter how well we adhere to the Golden Rule of Life. The man and woman who can best be spared is not always taken when death calls. The man and woman best prepared to go is the one who makes each day an eternity unto itself by doing as the honey bee does, gather honey whenever an opportunity affords. Some people find life a burden because they are selfish, and that is the only reason life is a burden. Those who live each day for the day and the happiness it will bring others are the ones who get the most out of life and will get the most on the other side of life. Life is what you make it. You gain happiness from what you put into the life of others and not from what others can put into your life. The happiest people in Anaheim are those who make others glad they are alive. The happiest man in Anaheim is the one who showers his loved drug or bottle of Peruna. One or Two Physicians Alleged to Have Thousand Prescriptions For Liquor; Said to be Filling Them Promptly DETECTIVES WILL BE PUT TO WORK A committee of citizens, representing city's church organizations has started a note the liquor traffic in Anaheim which, as member of the committee has been flourishing months. One or two Anaheim physicians the committee have issued several thousand prescriptions for an Anaheim drug store has done a big business prescriptions of the two doctors. The physicians are being withheld pending government authorities as to whether they will the Volstead act, and this also applies to them. The so-called soft drink saloons that have ficking in wine are pikers compared to the drug store the committee names if fact be substantiated. O. T. Callor, J. U. Hemml and others, representing the committee appointed by the seven churches, appeared before the city council last night, asking that a more drastic ordinance than the one now in force, be enacted for the suppression of the sale of liquors. It was pointed out that the present city ordinance does not stipulate how much liquor a druggist can sell on a physician's subscription. The quantity may be a pint or a gallon, it is said. Regarding the sale of alcohol, it is said, the ordinance does not stipulate its strength, and that commodity's "voltage" may run all the way from 50 to 100 per cent. The committee also pointed out that the local ordinance is not of a mandatory nature regarding its enforcement, and therefore, officers perhaps may be lax in their duties. It is said liquor is sold in larger quantities through various avenues, and it is the aim of the law abiding people to put a stop to the traffic. It is common rumor that the present prohibitory ordinance is ineffective so long as liquor is procurable under a physician's prescription when there is no amount dispensed. The council orders of the commission probability a report upon the matter at of the council. The several church resolutions condemn in which the liquor ried on in this city. It has been suggested that private ployed to secure eviolators of the law be prosecuted and Bland pigs and said, are selling b only here, but elsewhere. The trustees ask citizens help to start business which is a community. It is understood tion in the hands of the churches will be session of govern once. LANDIS RULING HITS GIANTS HARD BLOW Decision in Matter of Groh Is Direct Shot at Commercialism GIANTS ARE CRIPPLED NEW YORK, June 10.—It’s a good thing Judge Landis has a long time contract at the head of baseball’s machine. A few more moves like he made in the Groh case and the magnates would be tagging him for the ash can. The high commissioner of the game took an awful wallop at the Giants, the strongest power in the National league when he decided that Groh must play the season out with the Cincinnati Reds if he is to pay at all. The Giants had a locker ready in the club house for the holdout third baseman of the Reds who was to be traded for Goldie Rapp, Benny Kauff and Jesse Barnes as soon as Groh and Kauff had been put back in good grades. A large bundle of cash with which the New York club is plentifully supplied was to go along to act as balm for the heartbreak that Garry Herrmann would almost give the York day the trumpet will be joyfully everyone but John McGarrison.

ERECTED 50 YEARS INDIANAPOLIS, June 10—The body of W. H. Hoover, gray haired veteran of the civil war, was buried here today under the tombstone erected for him more than fifty years ago. Hoover was a private in the 19th infantry. He was reported killed in the battle of Resaca, while marching with Sherman to the sea. A body said to have been his was shipped here by the war department and buried with ceremony. His relatives and sweetheart went into mourning. Later, Hoover returned from the war and saw the monument erected to his memory. Every year he visit- INSURGENTS MOVE TO OUST GOMPERS AS HEAD OF A. F. L. DENVER, June 10.—With rumors afloat that "insurgents" of the American Federation of Labor are planning to run some "good conservative man" against Samuel Gompers for president of that body, delegates to the annual convention here next week were arriving on every train. President Gompers has already declared he isn't "concerned" over his chances of re-election. He told newspaper reporters he had been at the head of the federation for 39 years and "wasn't worrying" over reports of growing opposition to his candidacy. John I. Lewis head of the mine Alleged to Have Written Several Instructions For Liquor; Druggist Willing Them Promptly BE PUT TO WORK ON CASE Citizens, representing seven of the ones has started a drive to eliminate Anaheim which, according to a de has been flourishing for some physicians the committee claims, and prescriptions for liquor and has done a big business filling the doctors.

The council ordered that the request of the committee be referred to the ordinance committee, and in all probability a report will be made upon the matter at the next meeting of the council. The several churches have passed resolutions condemning the manner in which the liquor traffic is now carried on in this city. It has been suggested by their committee that private detectives be employed to secure evidence against all violators of the law so that they may be prosecuted and punished. Bland pigs and bootleggers, it is said, are selling booze openly, not only here, but elsewhere. The trustees ask that all reputable citizens help to stamp out this illicit business which is a reproach to the community. It is understood that the information in the hands of the committee of the churches will be placed in possession of government officers at once. FLAG DAY WILL BE OBSERVED BY ALL ELKS Anaheim Lodge Will Hold Services Next Tuesday Evening PROGRAM GIVEN OUT The Flag Day program to be given by the Anaheim lodge of Elks in the Anaheim union high school auditorium next Tuesday night will be most interesting and the public is cordially invited to attend. There will be no admission fee. The program includes a patriotic address by Hon. Frank G. Tyrell of Los Angeles. a member of the Los Angeles B. P. O. E. No. 99. Mr. Tyrell is considered one of the most brilliant speakers in Southern California.

ADMIRAL SIMS STANDS BY HIS GUNS Navy Officer in London is Not Receding From His Position BELIEVES IN TRUTH LONDON, June 10.—Admiral William S. Sims today answered Secretary Denby's inquiry on his speech before the English Speaking Union here. The admiral dispatched his answer an hour after receiving the official copy of the cablegram. "It can be taken for granted," the admiral's aide said, "that the admiral intends to stand by his actual speech but naturally he cannot be held responsible for published reports of it." Sims was given a great ovation last night when he was guest of honor at a dinner of the parliamentary naval committee. The admiral's war work, particularly his efforts to bring about cordial relations between the Ameri- SAN DIEGO GIRL'S TRIP WAS NOT OF ELOPING ORDER The father of Margaret Croft, 17-year-old San Diego girl who was taken from the bus at Capistrano yesterday by the sheriff's office on information from the San Diego police, explained the matter to the sheriff's office last night, and took his daughter on with him to Los Angeles. The mother of the girl, according to San Diego officers, feared that her daughter was "eloping" and notified the police to intercept her. She also sent word to the father in Los Angeles, to see her at the sheriff's office here. The girl, however, explained that she was only coming to Los Angeles to stay with her father. The parents of the girl are separated. mann would suffer in being forced to get rid of his star third baseman. The move of Judge Landis is a direct shot at commercialism, one of the real evils of the game. The Giants could deny pennant buying till the cows come home. Nevertheless, they would have been doing virtually that same thing if they secured Groh. The Pittsburg Pirates, with a homemade team that is making a brave fight for the pennant, has the sympathy of the fans. The move made by Judge Landis in blocking deal that would almost give the pennant to New York the day the trade was completed will be joyfully received by everyone but John McGraw and Garry Herrmann. The program includes a patriotic address by Hon. Frank G. Tyrell of Los Angeles, a member of the Los Angeles B. P. O. E. No. 99. Mr. Tyrell is considered one of the most brilliant speakers in Southern California. The program will be started by a selection from the orchestra and followed by the singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the audience, led by the orchestra. Introductory exercises led by Exalted Ruler Leslie Swope and the other officers of the lodge will then be held and followed by singing "Columbia" by the audience, led by the orchestra. History of the Stars and Stripes will be told by Miss Janey Von der Veer and this will be followed by a selected solo by R. T. Corley. Altar services of the Elks lodge conducted by Esquire Frank D. Miller and other officers will then be conducted and followed by the audience singing Auld Lang Syne led by the orchestra. The Elks tribute to the flag will be delivered by L. P. Bonnat, and a group of southern airs by the orchestra will follow. A plano solo by Miss C Wellman, Chanson D'Amour, Lizzt will be one of the interesting numbers on the program also. This will immediately precede the patriotic address by Frank G. Tyrell. The program will close with the singing of America, led by the audience. The people who wail because Germany don't pay are the same ones who once laughed at Tolstoy's theory of passive resistance. SOAK 'EM AGAIN UTICA, N. Y., June 10—The Utica post of the American League today sent the following telegram to Georges Carpentier: "We are for you. He didn't fight then, make him fight now." "It can be taken for granted," the admiral's aide said, "that the admiral intends to stand by his actual speech but naturally he cannot be held responsible for published reports of it." Sims was given a great ovation last night when he was guest of honor at a dinner of the parliamentary naval committee. The admiral's war work, particularly his efforts to bring about cordial relations between the American and British navies, drew praise from a number of speakers. The admiral in his response made no reference to the controversy arising from his last previous speech. Sims was given a tremendous ovation today when he was guest of honor at the meeting of the American luncheon club here. Especially loud cheers came from the British guests. "He's done it again," said Wilson Gross, chairman, in introducing the admiral. "He's done it again, but we're all for him." Sims made a lengthy address but touched only incidentally on the controversy growing out of his talk before the English speaking union. "I believe in talking the truth, but not in excess," he said. "I'm afraid I did so the other day—in the opinion of some persons. But what I said was practically the same thing I have said in numerous platform speeches in the United States. "I intend to keep on doing the same thing. "The future progress and peace of the world depends upon the co-operation of the English speaking people. "If that is objectionable, make the best of it." HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE 1921 NO. 175 LIQUOR TRAFFIC et Early Last Night YOUNG MAN DRESSED IN DARK SUIT. ACCOSTS MRS. STALEY AS SHE RETURNS HOME FROM VISIT Attack Occurred Near Presbyterian Church Where Man Secluded Himself Behind Palm Tree, Accosting Mrs. Staley as She Approached CRIES OF WOMAN FOLLOWED BY BLOW ON HEAD Police and sheriff's office attaches are today searching for a young foreigner about 25, dressed in a dark suit, dark shirt and hat and wearing button shoes who Attack Occurred Near Presbyterian Church Where Man Secluded Himself Behind Palm Tree, Accosting Mrs. Staley as She Approached CRIES OF WOMAN FOLLOWED BY BLOW ON HEAD Police and sheriff's office attaches are today searching for a young foreigner about 25, dressed in a dark suit, dark shirt and hat and wearing button shoes who last night accosted Mrs. P. S. Staley, 414 East Adele as she returned to her home from a local stage office. According to the police, the man was secluded behind a palm tree near the Presbyterian church and as Mrs. Staley reached a point near the corner of North Claudina and Cypress, the man approached her and asked her where she was going. Mrs. Staley made no reply and the man then grabbed her by the arm and dragged her across the street, placing one hand over her mouth. As the opposite curb was gained, Mrs. Staley pulled the man's hand from her mouth and screamed. At this juncture the man struck Mrs. Staley on the head, causing her to fall to the pavement. After knocking Mrs. Staley down, the man ran and although John Duckworth, who saw the man and heard the screams was at Mrs. Staley' side within half a minute, he lost sight of the man in the excitement of aiding Mrs. Staley. Within a minute or two, dozens of people gathered at the scene, and Mr. Staley, who was on the way to meet his wife, was one of the group. Officer Andrade was on the scene almost immediately and after questioning Mrs. Staley made a search, with other officers for the man who had attacked her. A physician was summoned and Mrs. Staley was taken to her home. This afternoon she is still in a weak condition, due to the shock. She is unable to raise herself in bed according to Mr. Staley. The Staley family has been in Anaheim but a few days, Mr. Staley having come to Anaheim to be associated with the Ford agency. Mrs. Staley arrived in the city from her day's trip, about 9:15 and with her suit case, was going home when the man accosted her. Mrs. Staley had been expecting to meet her husband, but owing to confusion as to the names of the street, they did not meet as planned. Mrs. Staley is sure she can identify the man and the statement was made this afternoon that the officers have a clue that they believe will lead to the early arrest of the man. Police Officer Tex Choate passed Mrs. Staley as she returned home from the stage office and it was but a few minutes later that she was accosted. They's a bout a millyun blind pigs in Anaheim I gess.
