USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor FIRE HAZARDS; STITCH IN TIME. Fires are not going to stand a chance in the fire district of Anaheim if the Chamber of Commerce, fire department and city trustees have their way and the merchants carry out their promises to help keep Anaheim fire-proof. The plan to have a daily collection of all inflamable matter from the rear of stores and other places of business in Anaheim's business district is an excellent one and will remove practically every chance of a fire invading the business district. Fires will come from time to time, due to defective electrical works or from carelessness or accident. These fires the limited department of Anaheim can care for, but if a fire comes in the business district in the middle of the night when most people are slumbering, disaster is more than likely to come to a large portion of the district. Removing trash and all inflamable material from the rear of stores each day is going to protect the business men generally from loss by fire. The disastrous fire at Barstow recently is an object lesson. A careless merchant allowed trash to accumulate and it resulted in his business and the businesses of many others being reduced.

The disastrous fire at Barstow recently is an object lesson. A careless merchant allowed trash to accumulate and it resulted in his business and the businesses of many others being reduced to trash. A stitch in time prevents a pile of grief. LABOR SPEAKS; FOR DISARMAMENT. Organized labor started off on the right foot yesterday when it passed resolutions urging the President and the Congress to make "haste while the sun shines" in the matter of a world conference on disarmament. At this time when competitive navy building seems to be leading to the wicked waste of billions of dollars, it is well for the laboring man to speak. Labor has another great work to do and this is within their own ranks. Many of the strikes of the hour are due to Bolshevistic agents who are all over this country and tens of thousands of American people are being misled by this radicalism without knowing that facts. The honest-hearted, patriotic labor men of the United States who are thus unintentionally helping on the Bolshevistic cause should realize that today every striker, every agitator, every inefficient laborer, every slacker, is a co-worker however innocent he may be of such intentions, with the hell-born spirit of Russian Bolshevism and its thousands of agents in America who seek to foent strife in order to overturn the American government. Orangized labor has, of course, been slugged by disreputable leaders. The rank and file of organized labor is very largely composed of good American citizens. It has suffered because of the foreign element of the Bolshevistic tendency. Organized labor can ascend its ladder of fame very rapidly if it will renounce the leaders who have led it into the quagmire of discontent by presenting a new set of rules to industry. If labor will say that there shall be no limitation as to the amount of work a man shall do during his SURPRISES IN STILLMAN'S DIVORCE Number of Witnesses Are Smuggled to Hearing of Sensational Case DETECTIVES AIDING POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 16. Great precautions to insure "secrecy" were taken today when hearings in the Stillman divorce case were resumed shortly before noon. Reporters were barred from the building containing Referee Gleason's office, where the hearings were held, and an effort was made to smuggle witnesses in without encountering newspaper photographers or writers. No explanation was given but it was assumed there had been talks by some of the attorneys regarding the "leaks." Among the witnesses called by Stillman's counsel today were Alec Calender, chauffeur for Mrs. Stillman during the winter of 1918 and a man named Burdy who succeeded Benard Kelly as superintendent of the Stillman estate at Pleasantville, N. Y. Two other "surprise" witnesses were a Mr. and Mrs. Laylor, caretakers of the "Blue Cottage" on the Pleasantville estate. It was in this cottage, Kelly testified late yesterday, that Mrs. Stillman and Fred Beavals, French-Canadian guide, are alleged to have spent much time in each other's company in the late winter and early spring of 1918. Guy, who is alleged to be Beavals' child, was born in November, 1918. Kelly was accompanied to the hearings today by his wife, Irene, who is expected to testify. Four more "surprise" witnesses were produced by Stillman's counsel shortly before noon recess today. An aged man and three middle aged women, obviously French-Canadians, arrived in an autobile of Cornellius J. Sullivan, the banker's chief attorney, accompanied by a private detective. They were expected to testify regarding Mrs. Stillman's alleged relations with Beavals on the Stillman farm near OMAHA, Neb., known to have been than twenty-five miles fatally, when Northwestern pass from Lander, Wyoming through the borewood creek to Crawford, Neb., night.

If labor will say that there shall be no limitation as to the amount of work a man shall do during his working day, conditions will begin to improve. There should be no restriction of the use of machinery or tools nor of the use of manufactured material, except prison-made. No person should have the right to interfere with workmen during working hours and the use of apprentices should not be prohibited. Workmen should be allowed to work for whomsoever they please, but should demand and receive wages agreed upon by a joint board in his trade and, last but not least by any means, employers should be at liberty to employ and discharge whomsoever they see fit. It is wholly wrong and an injustice to compel an employer to keep a man at work who cannot produce as much and as good work as a man who comes along later, seeking work. The standard of labor will be raised just as soon as labor unions cease protecting inefficient workmen. From the viewpoint of the man who reads much of the friction between capital and labor, labor needs a first class housecleaning at the top and capital needs a tip to come down to earth and meet labor face to face. Both Capital and Labor have for a long time taken themselves too seriously. Roy Gardner has again majored in the headlines. He is captured again. If he continues escaping and being captured, he will lose out in the newspapers for it will cease to be real news after a while. MANAGER LOOMIS OF LOCAL W. U. PROUD FATHER TODAY Manager Ralph E. Loomis of the local Western Union Telegraph office is sending and receiving messages a little off-key today. No matter whether sending or receiving, each message ends, "it's a girl." Here's the reason, in regular newspaper form: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Loomis are rejoicing over the arrival of a daughter at their home today.

ANAHEIM DAILY HER PAGES ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1921 IT ROY GARDNER I WHEN TRAIN A GOES THROUGH ANY ARE MISSING by Flood Waters That Have bands of Dollars Worth of dear Crawford, Neb. CURSES RUSHED TO RESCUE OMAHA, Neb., June 16. Four are known to have been killed and more than twenty-five injured, many probably fatally, when three coaches of Northwestern passenger train No. 606 from Lander, Wyo., to Omaha, plunged through the bridge over Big Cottonwood creek two miles east of Crawford, Neb., at 11 o'clock last night. Estimates on the dead run from 20 to 50. Many persons have not been accounted for. BIG BUSINESS NOW HIDING BEHIND HARDING PHRASE WASHINGTON, June 16.—Big business has soiled on the Republican pledge of "less government in business and more business in government," as an excuse for trying to control the United States government. Senator Kenyon, Iowa, charged in a speech to the senate today on the packer control bill. COMMUNITY FLATS IS NEWEST THING It is reported that a local company will soon begin the erection of a community apartment on South Los Angeles street the first unit to consist of a four-flat white plaster building with all modern conveniences. Two apartments in this first unit have already been sold. These community apartments have worked out very satisfactory in other cities. Building up-to-date apartments of this kind will aid materially in solving SHOE DEALERS SAY SHOE PINGHES IN RESOLUTION SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.—Resolutions denouncing the federal commissions's report filed with congress charging shoe dealers with profiteering, have been passed by the convention of Pacific Coast Shoe Dealers-in session here today. HARNESS COMPANY PEEVED AT ACTION WASHINGTON, June 16.—President Harding's right to cancel the contracts between the United States Harness company and the war department for the disposal of surplus harness stocks was challenged today by Frank J. Morgan, attorney for the harness company. Hogan conferred with the President today and filed a brief outlining the company's side of the case. CRIPPLED KIDDIES WILL OMAHA, Neb., June 16.—Four are known to have been killed and more than twenty-five injured, many probably fatally, when three coaches of Northwestern passenger train No. 606 from Lander, Wyo., to Omaha, plunged through the bridge over Big Cottonwood creek two miles east of Crawford, Neb., at 11 o'clock last night. Estimates on the dead run from 20 to 50. Many persons have not been accounted for. Hampered by the rushing waters of the creek, swollen to the flood stage by flood waters that have been destroying thousands of dollars worth of property throughout the northwestern section of the state for the last three days, work of rescue was impossible until early this morning. Relief trains, loaded down with physicians, nurses, divers and rescue volunteers, arrived at the scene of the wreck at daybreak. The dead were removed to Chadron, Neb. The injured were rushed to a hospital at Hot Springs, So. Dak. The Pullman, smoker and chair car went completely under the water with the bridge at five a.m. The number of dead and injured is unknown. The flood is so high that it is difficult to reach the survivors. The heaviest loss of life is believed to have occurred among passengers in the smoker and one of the day coaches. One Pullman is reported hanging precariously on the left bank of the creek and is liable to plunge into the surging waters at any moment. All passengers in this car are said to have escaped. The long steel bridge over the creek had been weakened by the recent flood water according to railroad officials here. Rescue workers are helpless, according to word received here. Dragging and diving for bodies believed to be imprisoned in the submerged coaches is impossible because of the strong current of the creek, despatches said. Aviators from Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa, are going over their machines preparatory to "hoping off" for the scene of the accident to offer their assistance in rescue work. INFANT PASSES Kenneth Russell Hardesty, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. M. Hardesty, 419 South Helena street, died Sunday morning. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Backs & Terry chapel, Rev. Howe officiating. It is reported that a local company will soon begin the erection of a community apartment on South Los Angeles street the first unit to consist of a four-flat white plaster building with all modern conveniences. Two apartments in this first unit have already been sold. These community apartments have worked out very satisfactory in other cities. Building up-to-date apartments of this kind will aid materially in solving housing problem in Anaheim. The plan, very simple is similar to the "own your own home" proposition. Instead of owning a house, you own a flat and a fourth interest in the property of which it is an unit. IF YOU DRIVE A CARRY YOUR LICENSE TO OPERATE IT If you drive an automobile or auto truck see that you have your operator's license with you. If you haven't one you may be "out of luck". Beginning at 7 o'clock last night Orange county traffic officers began to stop every automobiles on the highway and find out whether the driver of the car or truck had a license. District Attorney A. P. Nelson held a conference with the officers and decided on this plan as a means of enforcing a state law which has been more or less overlooked at different periods. Nelson stated that most motorists are aware of the fact that they are required to have an operator's license. Many of those who do have them, he said, do not keep them in their possession. It is seen that they do that he has taken this step. The traffic officers do not propose to work on any particular highway. They declare they will cover the county as rapidly as possible. Every motorist who cannot show an operator's license will be given a tag and ordered into court. It is understood that the fine will be $2 for the first offense. There might have been everlasting peace on earth if the neighbors had persuaded Noah to observe a naval holiday. CRIPPLED KIDDIES WILL BE AIDED BY LOCAL SOCIETY A drive will start within a short time to carry on the work of the Crrippled Children's Relief Society, a group of big hearted people who are endeavoring to bring back to normal the dozens of children who through the ravages of infantile paralysis, have been crippled. The Anaheim section of the society has started to work to bring relief to crippled children. The organization is composed of Mrs. M. E. Canby, secretary, and Mrs. Alex Witman, Miss Kuehl, public nurse, Mrs. B. H. Sidnam, Mrs. F. G. Peck, Miss Irene Parker, Dr. Bessica Raiche, Prof. C. C. Smith, Mrs. Frank N. Morris, as members of the advisory board. The Anaheim section of the society is anxious to learn the names and addresses of the crippled children who can be brought back to normal by the aid of specialists who will come to Anaheim's hospital and operate. Thus far it is learned, there are 62 crippled children in the county, all of whom can be cured by surgeons who have been successful in restoring withered limbs to normal condition, limbs that have been withered by infantile paralysis. Mrs. M. E. Canby will be glad to have the name and address of all crippled children. She can be reached by phone, number 265W. The Anaheim hospital, it is said, will make no charge for hospital care. The only expense connected with the enterprise to bring children to normal physical strength will be for the surgeons who make only a nominal charge, according to information given out by the advisory board.

H. Zadeck, 708 Maple avenue, Los Angeles, failed to put in an appearance at the court room. The case, brought by W. G. Righter of Orange, was scheduled for May 31, but was continued until yesterday at the request of Mrs. Zadeck. The collision occurred on the San Diego road near Tustin. Righter, the complaining witness, claims that Mrs. Zadeck in endeavoring to pass another car when she did not have the right of way, caused the collision, in which linger and his wife and daughter were badly injured. A bench warrant for Mrs. Zadeck will be issued, according to Justice Cox, and the lady will be brought into court. MOTORISTS WILL BE HELD UP FOR TAGS Motorists who do not possess a state license to drive an automobile, or who do not have the license in their possession—Beware! Starting at 7 o'clock tonight, every car on county or state highway will be stopped from now on, according to Traffic Officers Myers and Warner, and every motorist who cannot produce an operator's license will be presented with an invitation to visit Judge Cox. A fine will be imposed—not enough to damage a bank account, according to the judge, but enough to make the unlucky one remember to bring his document in future. "The operator's license is for the drivers own protection," said "Shorty" Myers this morning. "It costs nothing to get one, and we are going to see that the law is enforced from now on."

CITRUS LEAGUE TURNS DOWN RAIL PLAN Ten Per Cent Reduction With Water Boycott Does Not Appeal WHOLLY INADEQUATE Directors of the California Citrus League yesterday afternoon tentatively refused the offer of the representatives of the California initial rail-road lines to reduce the rates on citrus fruits approximately 10 per cent, effective November 1, and appointed the following committee to confer further with carriers: E. M. Lyon, Redlands; C.-C. Teague, Santa Paula; J. A. Steward, Redlands; E. G. Dezell and G. Harold Powell, Los Angeles. The offer of a 10 per cent reduction is made with the understanding that the citrus industry will abandon its present plan for the further perfection of the movement of the traffic via the water route," explained President Lyon after the meeting. "It was further stipulated that the industry agree to an increase in the minimum carload weight of citrus fruit. "The directors are unanimously of the opinion that it is not in their power to prevent shipments through the Panama Canal; that such an agreement, if entered into, would be against public policy in that it would result in the suppression of competition and that, since no such condition has been attached to any other rate reductions, the proposal of the railroads is discriminatory against the citrus industry, which should always be free to reap the benefits of lower transportation costs via the canal. Furthermore, it was the unanimous decision of the directors that consent should not be given by the industry to an increase in the minimum carload weights in view of the voluntary co-operation of the industry with the government and the railroads since the beginning of the war in loading the cars to or beyond the limit of safety, in order to conserve the car supply so that the war materials could be moved to the seaboard; and in aiding the railroads in meeting the difficult adjustments arising since the war." The proposed reduction was held to be totally inadequate and not to give consideration to the citrus industry. CENTRALIA, Wash., June 16—Roy Gardner, elusive mail car bandit, was arrested in the Oxford hotel here today at noon. His head and face were bandaged but when officers removed the bandages he was easily recognized as the daring mail bandit and admitted his identity. Gardner gave the name of A. J. Wright when he registered and said he was in an accident in a Tacoma garage and burned his head with a blow-torch. The officers immediately called the garage by long distance telephone and learned that no one by the name of A. J. Wright had ever worked there. Gardner had been in Centralia three days. A chambermaid in the hotel became suspicious of him and notified the officers and his arrest soon followed. After his arrest, Gardner said: "Marshal Mulholl and Rinkle were the two nerviest officers I ever saw. If I hadn't worked as fast as I did, I would never have gotten away. I stuck up Mulholl so quick he didn't have a chance. I took my gun, out from under my shirt and wheeled around just as I started to wash my hands. Pyron helped me get the shackles on the officers. I left Pyron as soon as we lit on the ground. I didn't want him around my neck and told him to beat it. I hid about a mile from Castle Rock out in the brush. I hung around Castle Rock all the time. I got something to eat here and there milking cows and things like that, but Tuesday morning I was hungry and had to get some real food. It was when I went to the Royal restaurant at 6 o'clock in the morning that I was first recognized, although they were not sure of me." Concluding his statement, Gardner said, "I am through. I am going to take my medicine."

Broughten, it is claimed, appropriated the amount for his own private use. The check is dated November 9, 1920. DUNHAM & KNIPE CO. INTEREST BOUGHT BY BUMGARDNER M. J. Bumgardner of Long Beach has purchased an interest in the Dunham & Knipe Company, grocers, and will make his home here. He is an experienced grocer and is very enthused about Anaheim. Mrs. Bumgardner will be in Anaheim soon. C. R. Kelly of Long Beach has leased the fruit and vegetable department of the store and he will move here soon. The fruit and vegetable department has grown rapidly in the past few months. MAN HAD NO MONEY SO DIDN'T PAY FINE "If you can't pay it you can't pay it," said Judge Cox yesterday when J. B. Fuller, local truck driver, declared that he could not pay a $100 fine imposed upon him for driving an overloaded truck on the county highway. "It is not my duty to collect these fines. The ordinance does not provide for a jail sentence in these cases and I would not make use of such a provision if it did." So Fuller left the court room glad that he did not have $100. DIES SUDDENLY WASHINGTON. June 16—Representative William Mason of Chicago died at his hotel here today. His death followed recent heart attack.
