USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor MONUMENTS; MORE MONUMENTS. A magnificent mausoleum of Greek architecture and built of Italian marble just completed at the Hollywood cemetery for the family of the late Senator Clark of Montana stands on an island and is approached by an artistic $60,000 bridge. The mausoleum's cost was $500,000, making the total cost of the tomb and the bridge $550,000. The money that paid for the extravagant tomb and the bridge that leads to it belonged to the Clark estate and they had a right to build the tomb of course, and the money was theirs to do with as they pleased. When one reads of such extravagance inanimate things and things that stand out brazenly and make faces at poor people who in time of need cannot afford a plain pine box in which to bury their dead, it is very evident that there are many mismanaged millions in America. The greatest monument that could be erected by the Clark family or any other very wealthy family is not in the direction of tomb-stones costing over half a million dollars. An endowment for needy people would be a far greater monument for the late senator.

The greatest monument that could be erected by the Clark family or any other very wealthy family is not in the direction of tomb-stones costing over half a million dollars. An endowment for needy people would be a far greater monument for the late senator. The greatest man of the age lies in a simply marked grave at Oyster Bay, N.Y. He needed no ornate monument of inanimate stone to tell his story. His life is a monument, and his recorded achievements during his life are the kind that no man's millions may purchase. The accumulation of great wealth does not bring honor with it. The evergreen of achievement for the good mankind is a far greater monument to men than all the marble museums ever erected. GETTING IN RIGHT; PECULIAR ATTITUDE. There is a certain element in the United States vigorously opposed to disarmament "until other great nations agree to disarm." So far as the Herald is able to observe, no one has urged that the United States disarm without waiting for other nations to do likewise. Such action would be very foolish. The men and women behind the disarmament program are urging the Congress and the President to call a conference with officials of other nations with the disarmament plan in view. Nothing is being done por will anything be done to disarm the navy and army until such time as Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and other nations enter into an agreement to curtail army and navy expenditures. The people who are striving for peace through disarmament are very naturally opposed by a great throng, millions strong, of army and navy officials and officers, who are backed in their attitude by the millionaires who manufacture steel and munitions. Naturally, disarmament would make these people seek other fields for a livelihood and steel and munitions manufacturers would be compelled to seek new markets. This is a very important period In DEMOCRATS Grand Expose Said To Be In The Making Showing Methods WOULD PERPETUATE cratic leaders in the senate are getting ready for a "grand expose" of what they assert is a republican plan to perpetuate the party's grip on the national government by building up a political machine whose cogs will be thousands of postmasters. The democrats first scented the republican plan, they claim, when President Harding's recent order regarding the filling of postoffice vacancies was issued. That order, they alleged, was an attempt to set aside the civil service law long enough to let republicans oust a lot of democratic postmasters and fill their places with republicans. Now the democrats have discovered, they assert, that the republicans plan to give their postmasters life jobs and remove them entirely from control of the senate, by providing that when nominated, they need not be confirmed by the senate, as they must now be. The republican's scheme is to be carried out, the democrats assert, through the Townsend bill, just introduced in the senate. This bill empowers the postmaster general "on direction of the president," to revise existing specifications of postal employees so as to put first, second and third class postmasters under the civil service law. "Upon such direction of the president," the bill continues, "the advice and consent of the senate shall be unnecessary to the appointment or removal of those postmasters thus classified; and thereafter they shall be appointed and may be removed by the postmaster general and shall hold their offices without term." George OUR BOY REPORTER I ain't got no pitchers for my news this time cause the artifat is sick I guess. He drawn a lot of pitchers a bout blind pigs her now. Nobu I laffed. The two. Jim George OUR BOY REPORTER This is a very important period in the world's history. Gases and chemicals have been manufactured that will annihilate millions of people. Unless warfare is annihilated first, by disarmament, civilization is going to perish. It is said that a vapor has been manufactured that would destroy the city of New York and its millions of people in ten minutes by means of spraying from airships. This being a fact, is it not time to crush competitive armament? Anaheim may have its blind pigs and its wild cats and things of that order, but it can never be said that an Anaheim man thrust his wife out into a blizzard to let her freeze to death. Denby, navy chief, has cabled Admiral Sims in London to come on back home. Now if Harding will duplicate the cable to Harvey, there will be hot times in this nation for at least a couple of weeks. That Roy Gardner bandit person has escaped again. He told officials he would and he did. At least Roy is a man of his word in the matter of escapes. Democrats say the Republicans are now trying to perpetuate themselves in office. Hope they make a better stab at it than the Democrats did. The Santa Ana police decided to herd all blind pigs in one roundup, which was successfully put over last night. Rather dry work, no doubt.

A systematic "clean up" last night, resulted in the confiscation of over a hundred bottles of liquor, and the arrest of George W. Williamson, colored, and a negro woman who says she is his wife, a white woman giving her name as "Miss Cecil Bruner, wife of a prominent Balboa merchant, W. M. and A. Johnson, colored, Juan Caries, Frank O'Campo and "Skip" Syres, Santa Ana taxi-driver. The first place raided was that of George Williamson, 1116 East Third street, Santa Ana, was raided first. Williamson and his wife were arrested on two counts, violating the city liquor ordinance, and violation of the rooming house ordinance. "Cecil Bruner," and the two Johnsons were Life Long Pals This is Miss Marion Stroup, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Stroup, who "knocked 'em dead" last ADMIRAL SIMS IS NOW CALLED UPON TO RETURN HOME WASHINGTON, June 11—Secretary of the Navy Denby today ordered Rear Admiral Sims to return to this country and report to him immediately. Denby sent the following cablegram to Sims: "Remainder your leave revoked. You will return to the United States immediately and report at once in person to the secretary of the navy. Acknowledge." MINISTER REFUSES SALARY INCREASE OF ONE THOUSAND LONG BEACH, Cal., June 11—Dr. Lewis Thurber Guild, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church has refused to accept an increase in pay of from $5,000 to $6,000 a year, W. M. Cook, chairman of the church finance committee said today. Dr. Guild asked that the additional $1,000 proffered him be diverted to other church activities. HANSEN RANCHERS EXCITED OVER NEW OIL DEVELOPMENTS Saturday in the Heart Drive for orphaned and abandoned children in the Children's Home society of California. Marion is seen here with her life-long pal Billy, which can usually be found where Marion happens to be except at bedtime and meal-time. Little Marion collected over $20 last rest of George W. Williamson, colored, and a negro woman who says she is his wife, a white woman giving her name as "Miss Cecil Bruner, wife of a prominent Balboa merchant, W. M. and A. Johnson, colored, Juan Caries, Frank O'Campo and "Skip" Syres, Santa Ana taxi-driver. The first place raided was that of George Williamson, 1116 East Third street, Santa Ana, was raided first Williamson and his wife were arrested on two counts, violating the city liquor ordinance, and violation of the rooming house ordinance. "Cecil Bruner" and the two Johnsons were arrested on the latter count, and three quarts of whiskey were confiscated. The entire party pleaded guilty. Williamson was fined $300 on both charges. His supposed wife was fined $300, suspended because of her child. "Cecil Bruner" was fined $50, and the two negroes, $10 each. The establishment operated by Juan Charles, 1010½ Lincoln street, Santa Ana, netted 22 bottles of port wine, 11 bottles of beer, 1 bottle of brandy, 9 bottles of claret, two "Haig and Haig" bottles, the contents of which have not been established, 40 gallons of home brew and five auto tires, possession of which Charles could not explain. On a plea of guilt, he was fined $300 by City Recorder Heathmand, at the hearing late last night. Frank O'Campo paid a $300 fine for selling liquor. The purchase was established, but no liquor was found at his home on West Fourth street, Santa Ana. "Skip" Eyres, taxi-driver, paid a fine of $10 for an alleged liquor sale. A systematic "clean up" of Santa Ana, is the program of the police department, Sam Jernigan, chief of police announced this morning. "We will continue to pick these place up as fast as we can secure evidence that they are operating" he said this morning. CAPTURE FUGITIVES NOGALES, Ariz., June 11—Perry Hooper, negro murder under life sentence, together with William Corbin and J. White, hold-up men, who were all members of the gang of jail-breakers who escaped from Santa Cruz county jail at Nogales Thursday morning, were recaptured yesterday in Mexico. Saturday in the Heart Drive for orphaned and abandoned children in the Children's Home society of California. Marion is seen here with her lifelong pal Billy, which can usually be found where Marion happens to be except at bedtime and meal-time. Little Marion collected over $20 last Saturday from people who passed the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets where she was stationed in front of the Heying Pharmacy, tagging people who approached her. A little companion who worked for the prize on Heart Day felt very badly because she didn't win first prize and Marion very promptly assured her that the prize was not the coveted thing. But that the good they all did in getting funds for the homeless children was what counted. Marion didn't use that exact language of course but her soothing discussion with her little friend soon drove away the tears and everybody was happy. FOUR ROUND BOUTS ENTHUSE CROWD IN ARENA LAST NIGHT One of the best all-round sparring matches seen in Anaheim by any boxing fan was the one last night at the Sparke's ranch when Ray Neal and Jack Brady fought a four round draw. Brady had 15 pounds the best of Neal in weight and the first two rounds got the best of the bargain. In the first round, Brady knocked Neal down twice, and in the second round, had things his own way. In the third and fourth rounds, however, Neal came back and had Brady wondering "where do we go from here" pretty much all the time. The referee therefore gave no decision, both men having won two rounds. On account of a cold, Strangler Louis Nelson was unable to meet Turk Lijlini in a finishing wrestling bout, so Al Sparkes took on Lijlini for a fifteen minute match and succeeded in staying with Lijlini that length of time. Sparkes is developing into a very good wrestler. Otaer matches were Pattle Dillon and Kid Poncho, who boxed a four round draw. Lloyd Neal was given the decision in a four round match with Kid Moon, and Kid Fredericks boxed a four round draw with Mickie Ferren. Another excellent bill is being arranged for next Friday night when Strangler Louis Nelson hopes to be in shape to take on Lijlini in a finish HANSEN RANCHERS EXCITED OVER NEW OIL DEVELOPMENTS Oil excitement among the ranchers in the vicinity of Hansen station and about the Petroleum Midway Oil Co.'s well on the county road at the junction of the Buena Park road was given new impetus yesterday when it was reported that the drill punctured a gas pocket at a depth of about 800 feet. The gas was easily seen bubbling from the muck as it was thrown up by the drill. All eyes have been turned to the test well being put down by the Petroleum Midway Company as oil experts are confident that a good production will be reached at about 3000 feet. Should this prove to be the case, a forest of derricks will spring up as was the case at Richfield and Huntington Beach. The Lessors' Oil Company with a large number of leases in the vicinity of Hansen announces that it will begin the erection of their first derrick on lease No. 12, a short distance from the Petroleum Midway well. Rapid progress is being made on the Petroleum Midway Company's well and is attracting large numbers of visitors who daily watch the progress of the drill. "FATS" AND MOGULS OF B.P.O.E. TO PLAY BASEBALL Everything is ready for the greatest comedy baseball game ever seen in Orange county. The game will be staged tomorrow afternoon on the Fullerton field and will be between the officers of Anaheim Elks lodge and the members who welge over her now. Nobuddy wuz hurt. G I laffed.

In this city, there were thirty-six new telephone installations in that short period, bringing the total number of phones installed up to 1192. The percentage of gain since January 1, is 3.11; the percentage of increase in Los Angeles was only 2.02% in San Francisco, 1.39; San Diego, 2.77. Local officials of the company intimate that this lead will be maintained. In the cities grouped with Anaheim in the report mentioned, the average increase in instruments installed is 1.77. SPEEDY JUSTICE Who has the temerity to declare that the wheels of justice are not oilied in Santa Ana township? Van V. Foster was arrested by Traffic Officer H. S. Warner in Anaheim at 10:05 this morning for going 35 miles per hour at an intersection, and at 10:40 Foster paid a $10 fine for the offense to Justice J. B. Cox in Santa Ana. A lot of people pray as though they thought God had nothing to do but run errands for them. B.P.O.E. TO PLAY BASEBALL Everything is ready for the greatest comedy baseball game ever seen in Orange county. The game will be staged tomorrow afternoon on the Fullerton field and will be between the officers of the Anaheim Elks lodge and the members who welga over 199 pounds up. The line-up is confidential according to Manager Knott, for it is the wish of the "fats" that their identity be concealed until the game begins. They will wear uniforms specially built for the occasion. The officers will wear the conventional uniform of their rank, whatever that is. The afternoon's sport will not all be comedy. Following the disagreement between the officers and "fats", the Knights of Columbus team of Los Angeles will play Anaheim Elks for the second time. Last Sunday, these teams met and the game was a tight one, the score remaining tied until the last half of the last innning when Anaheim scored the winning run. Billy Knott, manager of the Elks team says the game between the officers and "fats" must be seen to be believed. More than that, he says nothing. An economist says we must beware of sharp curves on the road back to normalcy. Also sharp practice. DRY LEADER WASHINGTON, June 11.-Ap- pointments in the prohibition service announced today included E. F. Mitchell, San Francisco, to be director for California, succeeding S. F. Rutter. HERALD MEMBER UNITED PRESS NEWS SERVICE 21 NO. 176 ROY GARDNER, FAMOUS BANDIT ESCAPED FROM OFFICERS EARLY TODAY AID OF HIS CONFEDERATE Makes Good Threats That He Would Never Be Taken to Penitentiary; Has Few Hours Lead Over Pursuing Posses in Thick Woods CONFEDERATE TAKES CASH FROM TWO GUARDS TACOMA, Wash., June 11.—Roy Gardner, California mail robber, escaped from federal marshals early today. He was being taken by train from San Francisco to McNeill's Island federal penitentiary to serve two terms of 25 years each for mail robberies. "For humanity's sake man take off this 'Oregon boot,'" Garden pleaded with his guards as the train was nearing Castle Rock, Wash., at 1:20 a.m. today. "The thing hurts me terribly." The guards at first refused but Gardner, feigning great suffering, played upon their sympathies and finally they removed the heavy iron boot. first robbed them of $220 in cash and then removed the shackles from Gardner's hands and the two walked out of the car. Gardner's confederate was described as rough appearing, about 45 years of age, wore a blue suit, the coat of which was torn down the back and was about five feet seven inches tall. Gardner's escape was a climax to his sensational career and made good his boasts made at Sacramento when he was arrested for robbing the Southern Pacific limited, that he would never be taken to the penitentiary. It was his second escape in the same vicinity, he having broken away from his guards near Portland on June 7, 1920, while being taken to "For humanity's sake man take off this 'Oregon boot,' Garden pleaded with his guards as the train was nearing Castle Rock, Wash., at 1:20 a.m. today. "The thing hurts me terribly." The guards at first refused but Gardner, feigning great suffering, played upon their sympathies and finally they removed the heavy iron boot. Just outside of Castle Rock a federate of Gardner's suddenly stepped into the car and covered the guards with two automatic pistols. He TUSTIN WOMAN BURNS SELF TO DEATH Saturates Her Clothes With Gasoline Before Setting Fire to Garments MIND WAS AFFECTED Setting fire to her clothing after saturating them with gasoline, Mrs. Evelyn Willard, 46, a resident of Tustin, chose a particularly horrible means of taking her own life yesterday afternoon. After soaking her clothes with gasoline, Mrs. Willard went into her front yard and evidently attempted to extinguish the flames with the hose. Falling in this, she tried to save herself by soaking in a bath tub of water. She was found unconscious in the tub when her daughter, Evelyn, returned home from school. Taken immediately to the Santa Ana Community Hospital, Mrs. Richards died at 5:00 o'clock without having regained consciousness. Dependency is thought to have been the motive behind the suicide. She was declared insane some time ago, and was taken to the sanitarium at Patton. She was released in April. Mrs. Willard is survived by three daughters, Valeda, Evelyn and June. The first is a bookkeeper in Santa Gardner's escape was a climax to his sensational career and made good his boasts made at Sacramento when he was arrested for robbing the Southern Pacific limited, that he would never be taken to the penitentiary. It was his second escape in the same vicinity, he having broken away from his guards near Portland on June 7, 1920, while being taken to McNell's Island to serve 25 years for robbing the mail at San Diego, Cal., of $97,000. After his escape in 1920 Gardner dropped from sight until a short time ago when he appeared near Napa, Cal., and for two days was thought to have been surrounded by a posse. He eluded the posse, however. A few days later the Southern Pacific limited was robbed near Hosseville, Cal. Authorities immediately adopted the theory that Gardner was responsible. He was found near Sacramento and was arrested. After hours of grilling he confessed the crime and was brought to San Francisco, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to another term of 25 years in the federal penitentiary. Gardner has taken to the hills, with Sheriff Hoggett of Castle Rock, and his son, aided by the Kalama cop, three deputies and Gardner's guards, in close pursuit. After handcuffing the deputies with their own irons, Gardner departed through a window with the man who had freed him in close attendance. They left the train as it drew into the Castle Rock station. The alarm was given shortly after the train pulled out, and as soon as the guards were able to free themselves they returned to Castle Rock where they summoned the sheriff to their aid and set out along the supposed trail of the two men. Word has been flashed along both sides of the Columbia river and to all points on principal roads leading from Castle Rock. According to advice received here from Castle Rock a posse of citizens is forming to aid the sheriff and his deputies to locate the man. Gardner used the same methods in escaping this time as he did in March, 1919, when he escaped while being taken over the same route after having been convicted of a mail robbery in San Diego. The deputy marshal on that occasion had removed the handcuffs and leg irons from Gardner and was about to take him into the dressing room so that he could wash up follow- TRUSTEES AWARDED CONTRACTS DURING SESSION THURSDAY The city trustees awarded contract to the Crescent Oil and Refining Company to furnish this city 1500 barrels of road oil, at their regular meeting. The board passed the bond election ordinance, which was passed to print. Upon suggestion of the fire company the no parking space around fire plugs will be extended. It is now 10 feet and should be at least double that length. It was proposed to amend specifications relative to putting down curbs and sidewalks. Instead of using sand and cement it is proposed to add crushed rock or screened gravel to the mixture. This will increase the cost about $15 for a 50 foot lot. The better mixture will last indefinitely. At present repairs on broken sidewalks is considerable. This is caused by poor workmanship. Noah and his boys doubtless worried at times because the world returned so slowly to normalcy.
