USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor POLITICAL PROMISES; PILES OF GRIEF. The United States Attorney General is up a tree and down on the ground stands United States Senator Freylinghuysen of New Jersey with a big stick. The Attorney General has been messing with New Jersey political patronage it is declared, and the Senator from New Jersey is wrought up over the matter. It is claimed that during the convention, certain political promises were given for votes in the national convention. Of course everybody knows these things are done by politicians although the corrupt practices act declares it unlawful. More political offices were promised, it is said, than there are places in the United States government service and now those who were left out in the cold are beginning to howl. We hope they howl until their "g" strings "bust." All this howling can but more clearly show that the best way to select a President is by direct vote of the people in Presidential primaries. The man who is the choice of the greatest number of voters in the United States should be the man nominated by the MRS. STALEY IDENTIFIED WHO ATTACKED HER THURSDAY EMIL CRESPIN HELD Sheriff Jackson Brings Crestin Before Mrs. Morning. Arrest on Suspicion Fri by Marshal Steadman SHERIFF JACKSON MAKES FORMA Emil Crespin was positively identified this morning by Mrs. P. S. Staley, 414 East Adele street, as the man who accosted her on the street last Thursday night about 9:15 o'clock and after pulling her across the street near the Presbyterian church, struck her a severe blow on the head and knocked her down. The identification was accomplished this morning when Sheriff Jackson brought Crespin to Anaheim and took him to the Staley home.

She and continued walks grabbed her by an across the street, over her mouth to giving an alarm. As the opposite was reached, Mrs. in removing the mouth and her several blocks. the United States government service and now those who were left out in the cold are beginning to howl. We hope they howl until their "g" strings "bust." All this howling can but more clearly show that the best way to select a President is by direct vote of the people in Presidential primaries. The man who is the choice of the greatest number of voters in the United States should be the man nominated by the parties. The President of the United States is not selected by the people. He is hand-picked by the political bosses and it is natural, in seeking nominations, that these bosses have to make remises of political plums. According to facts now being revealed, there are not enough offices in the federal government to give those who were promised political plums. The case of Blair, of North Carolina, who voted his delegates against the wishes of the people is undoubtedly a brazen case of paying a political debt. Blair has been given one of the best offices in the government service. The United States is proclaimed a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It is so in name only, to a very large extent. It will not be so only when the people eliminate the convention of political bosses and make it a convention of instructed delegates. THE SIMPLE LIFE; WICKED EXTRAVAGANCE. The simple life is the life to live. Theodore Roosevelt advocated the simple life. Mary Ross Potter, dean of the Northwestern University, says "amen." Addressing graduates of the girls' Latin school, Dean Potter urged them to dress simply, if they expect to be happy. "Remember," she said, "that life is made up of yesterday's todays and tomorrow's. Let no one tell you these are the happiest days. Life should grow better all the time. Enter into all new things with inspiration, confidence and wisdom." A few days ago we saw an advertisement in a popular magazine announcing fountain pens "from $2.50 to $250." What man with the sense of an angle worm wants a fountain pen at a cost of $250? Yet, there are men street last Thursday night about 9:15 o'clock and after pulling her across the street near the Presbyterian church, struck her a severe blow on the head and knocked her down. The identification was accomplished this morning when Sheriff Jackson brought Crespin to Anaheim and took him to the Staley home. Crespin was arrested Friday by Marshal Steadman on suspicion and he was immediately taken to the county jail in Santa Anna. Mrs. Staley stated soon after she was accosted by the man Thursday night that she could pick her assailant out of a thousand men, so positive was she in her description of the man. Sheriff Jackson stated today that he expects no trouble in proving a case against Crespin and will immediately take action to bring about a hasty trial of the case. "You may depend upon it," said the sheriff, "that if this man is guilty of the attempted assault, he will be dealt with according to law and placed where he will not have another opportunity of this kind." According to Mrs. Staley's version of the attempted attack last Thursday HARBOR ASS'N WILL HAVE MEETING ON THURSDAY NIGHT The first meeting of the board of directors of the Orange County Harbor association will be held at James' cafe. Santa Ana, Thursday evening. The business session will be preceded by a 6:30 dinner. "The future of Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, to a certain extent, depends upon the development of Orange county harbor at Newport Bay," says Secretary R. L. Bisby's notice to the members. "Let us get off to the right start by having a full board present at this, our first meeting, where all of the future plans will be developed." Officers of the association are: D. Kyman Huff, Orange, president; A. S. Bradford, Placentia, vice president; Rex B. Goodcell, San Bernardino, vice-president; Joy G. Jameson, Corona, vice-president; R. L. Bisby, R. Galvan, John pinosa are in the office of a little expedition land Saturday night. Without an intolerable court thou Howard decided on the three men maining in jail se. Galvan pleaded of being drunk driven by Morandi on the back seat his choice of a fire in jail. He acceded the sentence for othe first being necessary $25. Moreno declared less in the matter driving the car and the officers gave "that life is made up of yesterdays, todays and tomorrow. Let no one tell you these are the happiest days. Life should grow better all the time. Enter into all new things with inspiration, confidence and wisdom." A few days ago we saw an advertisement in a popular magazine announcing fountain pens from $2.50 to $250. What man with the sense of an angle worm wants a fountain pen at a cost of $250? Yet, there are men who will spend that amount for a fountain pen. There is more sense in the fountain of that pen than there is in the mind of the man who buys it. We read and hear of diamond studded garters for women. We read and hear of $5,000 dresses for women, and we wonder how soon the novelty of these ornaments wear off. Someone said a long time ago, "blessed be nothing." General reading of newspapers falls to convince us that money is the road to happiness. When we reach the period when we possess the comforts permitted in life, we believe that is the maximum. Extravagance has never brought happiness with it. Admiral Sims now says he meant to be funny when he referred to Sinn Fein sympathizers in the United States as "asses with votes." If that is Sims' idea of a joke, we are inclined to think he is the only one who got the "kick." A measure before the Congress would give free tolls to American ships passing through the canal. Why not? The cost to the consumer would probably not be reduced, but then it would be sort of cute to get something for nothing. Houdini can get out of any shackle ever used on a human being it is said. Roy Gardner isn't such a pliker either, especially in one-night stands. TWO WOMEN INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mrs. J. N. Sims and Mrs. Adams of Costa Mesa were injured yesterday, on the Newport road, when they stepped directly in front of a car driven by F. B. Read, 842 Garnsey street, Santa Ana. Read reported to the police department today. Both were treated by a doctor from Balboa. Mrs. Sims, who received internal injuries, was taken to the community hospital. Mrs. Adams is not at her home in Costa Mesa. Mrs. Jane Allen of Anaheim, has filed suit in Los Angeles for divorce from Clarence R. Allen, well known Anaheim contractor. She alleges in her complaint that he "clasped, embraced, hugged, caressed, dodled, kissed and loved" another woman March 30, 1921. He is also charged with writing love letters to a woman other than his wife. The Allens have a three-year-old son. Officers of the association are: D. Eyman Huff, Orange, president; A. S. Bradford, Placentia, vice president; Rex. B. Goodcell, San Bernardino, vice-president; Joy G. Jameson, Corona, vice-president; R. L. Bisby, Santa Ana, secretary-treasurer, and Wayne W.

As she approached the corner near the Presbyterian church, a man came from behind a palm tree and asked her where she was going. She made no answer and continued walking. The man then grabbed her by an arm and pulled her across the street, putting one hand over her mouth to prevent her from giving an alarm. As the opposite side of the street was reached, Mrs. Staley succeeded in removing the man's hand from her mouth and her screams were heard several blocks. The man struck her Were You Among the Thrifty?

She made no answer and continued walking. The man then grabbed her by an arm and pulled her across the street, putting one hand over her mouth to prevent her from giving an alarm. As the opposite side of the street was reached, Mrs. Staley succeeded in removing the man's hand from her mouth and her screams were heard several blocks. The man struck her a powerful blow on the head, knocking her to the pavement. He then ran, and those who heard the screams immediately rushed to Mrs. Staley. John Duckworth, who reached Mrs. Staley first, saw the man running away from her and heard Mrs. Staley scream. In the confusion and excitement that followed, Duckworth did not notice in which direction the man ran. Crespin has not been questioned, according to sheriff Jakson and is inclined to make no statements. Several months ago, Crespin's brother Mike was convicted of a statutory charge committed in Anaheim and was sentenced to a term of from one to fifty years in the state penitentiary. 'MORNIN' JUDGE' CASH SALES LOW IN COURT TODAY R. Galvan, John Moreno and L. Espinosa are in the city jail as a result of a little expedition into Homebrewland Saturday night. Without an interpreter in the Recorder's court this morning, Judge Howard decided that the memory of the three men might be aided by remaining in jail several days. Galvan pleaded guilty to the charge of being drunk. He was in a car driven by Morano and Espinosa was on the back seat. Galvan was given his choice of a fine of $25 or 25 days in jail. He accepted the jail end of the sentence for eight or ten reasons, the first being that he was shy the necessary $25. Moreno declared that he was guiltless in the matter as he was merely driving the car and speeded up when the officers gave chase.

ELKS AGAIN WIN FROM K. OF C. LOS ANGELES "Fats" Defeat Officers of Elks Lodge in Three Inning Exhibition SEASON'S SCHEDULE If the Anaheim Elks baseball team meets with as much success through the season, in the race for the pennant as it has through the spring, playing with teams from various parts of the state, it will bring home the pennant after the series of the season is ended. Yesterday afternoon, the Elks met the Knights of Columbus team of Los Angeles, considered one of the fastest in Southern California. They met defeat again yesterday, the same as Sunday before last. The score was six to four. Salveson took the mound for Anaheim at the opening of the game, but was out of condition and made a poor start. Hughes relieved him in the first inning and pitched throughout the game. "Red" Fulwelder for the K. of C. team was also removed from the mound and relieved by Kennedy. There were no star plays in the game. Anaheim Elks earned their victory. FATS VICTORIOUS Before the Elks and K. of C. teams played, the officers of the Anaheim lodge of Elks played nine fat members of the lodge. Tails comedy of errors was entertaining. Etchandy MISS ADELE HOWARD GRADUATES FROM ARIZONA NORMAL Judge and Mrs. J. S. Howard will leave today for Flagstaff, Arizona, where they will visit their daughter, Miss Adela Howard, who will graduate from the Arizona state normal school at Flagstaff Thursday evening. Following the commencement exercises, Judge Howard and his family will tour the Grand canyon and other points of interest before returning to Anaheim. Miss Howard will accompany her parents home. made by President W. J. Siemann of the First National Bank who maneuvered in center field for the "fats." A long fly was knocked in Mr. Siemann's direction and he was notified to keep an eye open for it. He discovered it after a while and made a long run to keep it from hitting the ground. Falling just as he got under the ball, Mr. Siemann gallantly raised himself to his knees and caught the ball. Cheers greeted his gymnastic exhibition and heroic play. SEASON'S SCHEDULE The Anaheim Elks will begin their season's games next Sunday, June 19, at Long Beach. On June 26, Whittier will play Anaheim on the Fullerton field, and on July 10, Anaheim will play at Redlands. On July 17th, the San Bernardino Elks will come to Fullerton field to be defeated by Anaheim again, and July 31, Long Beach will come for the same treatment. On August 7, Anaheim will go to Whittier and the following Sunday, Redlands will come to Fullerton field to meet Anaheim." On August 21, Anaheim will go to San Bernardino and on August 28; Santa Ana Elks will meet Anaheim at Fullerton. This of being drunk.

He accepted the jail end of the sentene for eight or ten reasons, the first being that he was shy the necessary $25. Moreno declared that he was guiltless in the matter as he was merely driving the car and speeded up when the officers gave chase. As the car increased its speed, empty bottles and bottles not so empty were thrown from the rear seat to the pavement, where they smashed. Moreno declared Espinosa was on the back seat but Espinosa said he didn't see any bottles. It is for the purpose of finding out who threw the bottles that all three men are confined in the city jail, in three separate apartments. Judge Howard believes Espinosa will finally decide he knows who "heaved the empties." Other interesting matters before the court included Ramon Mendez who gave Judge Howard $5 for riding on the sidewalk against the peace and dignity of the city of Anaheim in such cases made and provided, etc. J. H. Horan says the thirteenth was a lucky day for him. Horan owns a Ford It's a speedster. On a rough road Sunday, it lost its muffler. Horan fixed up an improvised muffler of tin. It couldn't stand the strain. It came off. Officers heard the noise. Horan got a red tag. He faced Judge Howard this morning and told the judge the story of the missing muffled. "Discharged" said the genial judge. "Thank you" said Horan. Exit Horan, accompanied by a smile. The net cash sales of the session amounted to $5.

Following the capture of Norris Pyron, Gardner's pal, late yesterday, it was confidently believed today that Gardner could not be far off. The officers are still without definite information, however, as to Roy Gardner's whereabouts. Reports that he was surrounded in a swamp near Kelso, Wash., thus far have produced nothing more tangible than "reports." Nothing in the way of actual proof that he is there has been brought to light. Pyron's capture was unsensational. It was a bloodless victory for W. A. Pratt, of Kelso, civilian member of one of the small posse divisions which are working all through the wild country. Pyron stayed Saturday night at the home of F. L. Stokes, near Kelso. Stocks didn't know he had given shelter to the notorious visitor, since Pyron had modestly retired to the barn, until his son Nelson planned to Kelso and notified the authorities that Pyron was following the course of the Cowltz river. MURDER THEORY IN STEELE CASE NOW BEING QUESTIONED MURDER THEORY IN STEELE CASE NOW BEING QUESTIONED POMONA, June 13.—Gold and silver money and bits of melted gold jewelry recovered from the ashes which hold the only clews of the tragedy in which Mr. and Mrs. Chas. S. Steele lost their lives Thursday, convinced the investigating officials that robbery at least was not a motive if any foul play figured in the double death and the burning of the Steele home, three miles north of Pomona. Despite this belief, an inquiry will be held by Corner Nance today. Relatives and many friends of the Steele's believe, however, that the couple were slain. Every phase of all business matters in which Steele might have incurred violent emmity of former associates will be delved into, it is understood. In the meanwhile a thorough search of the premises and of the heap of ashes which contain practically all the tangible claws is being conducted. Deputies Fox and Nolan reiterated their belief that the wealthy couple were victims of a fire which started about 4 a.m. Thursday from defective wiring. They asserted that they have encountered nothing in their investigation to lend weight to the supposition that Mr. Steele and his wife were murdered and the house set on fire by enemies or prowlers. The money, which included a $10 gold piece, three 50-cent pieces and a nickel, was found among the ashes in a place where it likely would have fallen from the room in which Mr. Steele kept his clothing. A piece of melted gold which probably was Mrs. Steele's wrist watch, and other pieces which originally may have been rings, also were found. Funeral services will not be decided on until after the inquest, it is believed. The remains of both bodies will be buried in one casket and the services will be under the pyron. Pyron's capture was unseasonal. It was a bloodless victory for W. A. Pratt, of Kelso, civilian member of one of the small posse divisions which are working all through the wild country. Pyron stayed Saturday night at the home of F. L. Stokes, near Kelso. Stocks didn't know he had given shelter to the notorious visitor, since Pyron had modestly retired to the barn, until his son Nelson planed to Kelso and notified the authorities that Pyron was following the course of the Cowlitz river. The direction of Pratt's posee was changed to this supposed trail and shortly after picked up Pyron's trail, following it through the heavy timber and up along the tracks. Pratt moved forward alone while two of his companions stationed themselves as lookouts stop a box car of a sliding. Pratt noticed a movement in the tall grass a short distance along the spur and challenged the waving alfalfa. "Come out," he called, "and come with your mittens up." "I'm coming," wailed a tremulous voice in the words Old Black Joe made famous. "For God's sake, don't shoot—I'm not Gardner." Pyron had a fully loaded .38 caliber revolver, but fight was far from his mind. According to members of the posse, he welcomed the protecting arm of the law. He feared Gardner far more than he did Marshal Thomas Mullah. "I left Gardner just after we beat it," Pyron tramblingly declared. "I didn't want to escape, but Gardner made me. Then he told me that he'd kill me if I didn't resist capture, I didn't want to fight so I turned around and ran away from him in the dark." Pyron's morale was low until he found himself in the shelter of the Kelso jail. Then he loosened up and talked freely. Pyron showed by his manner that Gardner's fast company was distasteful to him. He gave the first lucid account of the escape. "My guard and I went into the smoking compartment. While we were gone Gardner told me he and his guard went into the wash room were Gardner stuck him up with a concealed gun. He had his shackles on his guard when I got back to the state room and it was easy for him to pull the same thing on my guard." He made me go with him and we struck north. "Gardner's compass always points north, he says, but when he told me we would fight if overtaken I couldn't stand it. I left him and came back toward Kelso." Pyron was lodged in the Kelso jail list night and will probably be taken on north to McNell's island penitentiary today, were he will serve a GAMBLING GAME ON HUNTINGTON BEACH BIG FUND IS TAKEN Breaking into an alleged gambling house over a cafe in the business district of Huntington Beach, a raiding party from the sheriff's office arrested W. J. Newman, Earl Butler, Jack Walker, J. A. Hawkins, J. T. Luke, George Fee, C. Williams and A. J. Hiatt, late Saturday night. The officers making the arrests were Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Under Sheriff E. French, City Marshall Tinsley, District Attorney Nelson. According to the officers, a stud poker game and craps were the games in progress. The sum of $94.75 was taken from the dice game and $99 from the poker game. The alleged gambblers were taken to the jail Saturday night. Justice Cox could not be found until Sunday afternoon, when the suspects were freed on $100 cash bail each. June 15 was set as the date in which to appear and enter their plea. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Douglass motorized to Long Beach yesterday. BABE RUTH NEW YORK, June 13.—Babe Ruth made two home runs today against Detroit, making his total 21 for the season. He pitched six innings of the nine. He is an outfielder. SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.—Deputy U. S. Marshal Thomas Mulhall and D. W. Rinckel, guard, from whom Roy Gardner made his sensational escape Saturday morning were back in San Francisco today with their account of how Gardner got away. Gardner had asked to wash his hands, according to Mulhall and the handcuffs were removed from one hand as he was taken to the wash basin in the corner of the compartment. "Quick as lighting he swung about and whipped a pistol beneath his clothing and had me covered," Mulhall said. Rinckel made a ruck at him. With the clever move you ever saw Gardner grabbed my gun and backed into a corner where he had both of us covered. Pyron, Gardner's temporary companion, jumped from a berth and Gardner made him go through the officer's pockets, taking their keys, guns and money, Mulhall said. Then Gardner and Pyron working together, shackled the two officers together and then shackled them to an iron pipe in the room. Gardner gave Pyron Mulhall's gun. For twenty minutes Gardner "kndded" the officers, Mulhall said. He gave them $5 "to buy breakfast." When Castle Rock was redirected Gardner dropped out the window, tossed back an empty gun to Mulhall, as a souvenir." "I'll get over the line all right," he shouted back. "You'll hear from me pretty soon. I'll pull a big job you'll all talk about." Pyron followed him and the two were gone. "They certainly were artists," said Mulhall. "They didn't leave a thing undone."
