USE HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS VOL. VIII. SIX PAGES Now and Then By The Editor SENSATIONAL BUSIE; SCRAMBLED THOUGHTS. It is said that Hearst buys the services of the best writers he can secure. It is probably true that he buys the services of the best writers he can secure, but there are many brilliant writers who will not write as Hearst desires. A newspaper's editorial writer is a man of common clay, the same as other people. He is very apt to have a hobby, the same as other people, and unless he is independently wealthy he is going to write as ordered. In the Los Angeles Examiner today we read a brain leak entitled "Where Next War Will Be" and the writer of the editorial gives the cue that it will be waged in the waters and coasts and islands of the Pacific ocean. We wonder why Mr. Harding hasn't sent for that editor and offered him a job in the cabinet. The writer is apparently a man who knows everything from Jericho to Hoboken and it is a shame to have such a man of such a great abundance of knowledge so far removed from the nation's headquarters. It is wicked to withhold knowledge of forthcoming wars from the government. The Hearst papers are Sensational Business.

B. McCord for the next three weeks. Endeavor was made to appoint a thoroughly representative committee with men from each line of business and profession. The first meeting of this committee will be held at luncheon next Friday noon in the I. O. O. F. building. At this the first important steps of the campaign will be taken. The personnel of this committee is as follows: Sam Kraemer, Theo. Roberts, Fritz Yungbuth, J. J. Schneider, Geo. Dunton, Paul Taggart, Wm. Falkenstein, O. H. Renner, Oscar Heying, F. C. Eisenhauer, Barney Hartfield, F. N. Gibbs, W. D. Grafton, A. Graham, H. N. White, J. T. Lyon, Harry D. Riley, J. E. Stroup, H. A. Johnston, M. D., R.C. Berger, Wm. Jackson, Leonard Evans, E. B.

Simpson, C.F. Grim, George Prince, H.H. Benjamin, Vic La Mont, A.W. Reeves, Wm.T. Wallop, Geo.M. Ross. District Leaders H.M. Adams and Chas. Eygabroad are out scouting for men who will assist them in their part of the work. While talking of the campaign Mr. Eygabroad had this to say: "Let us all work together in this campaign to provide an organization that will be truly representative of all interests. I am proud to be affiliated with any project that has for its purpose the promotion of the best interests of Anaheim and the adjacent territory. Put me down as in favor of it." Mr. Adams also gave his stamp of approval in these words: "In many ways, I believe that Anaheim now faces a most important period in its development. Just as there is keen competition between progressive business firms, so there is competition between up-to-date cities. In the long run it will be that city which is best equipped that will be the winner. The best equipment any city can have in this line is a well organized, efficient and aggressive commercial organization such as the Chamber of Commerce, which is on the job all the time."

A burglar is as likely to commit murder as he is to sleep, if anyone interferes with his safety. If cornered, a burglar, especially one who is armed (and they all go about their business armed) is going to shoot and is therefore a menace to organized society. In nearly all states, a habitual criminal is kept in confinement until his sentence expires. There may be a good reason why the state parole board released the man who killed the Los Angeles officer, but we are unable to think of anything that justified the board's action. The trial judge in criminal courts is in a position to know the cases brought before him, and if he believes a man is a menace to society, he sentences the prisoner to a term adequate to protect society against such criminals. We believe the parole board is honest, but in some instances such as the criminal now in question, we believe the board was absolutely wrong in granting parole to a habitual criminal. Not long ago, Los Angeles detectives complained that it was useless for them to arrest criminals and cause their conviction because of the leniency of the parole board. The death of one of the detectives is proof that the board erred. Today marks the beginning of summer. Straw hats, ice cream suits and thoughts of mountains and seashores are epidemic.

ST ASTIR OVER DISAPPEARANCES AR CAPE HATTERAS Department of Commerce Asks Army and Navy Planes Make Searches VESSELS ABANDONED WASHINGTON, June 22.—Efforts to solve the mystery of the "vanishing ships" today were centered on efforts to find the sea marauders who are believed to have boarded the schooner Carroll A. Deering, made prisoners of her crew. Airplanes may be called upon to solve the mystery of the "vanished fleet." Officials of the department of commerce today were considering asking the army or navy for planes to patrol the little frequented stretches of coast near Cape Hatteras for some trace of the merchant vessels which have mysteriously vanished there. Meanwhile coast vessels were slipping in and out of coves and inflats near the cape in hope of picking up some clew—a bit of wreckage or a note which might have been left by some of the crews of the vanished vessel. MOTOR STAGE TURNS OVER EARLY TODAY SIX WOMEN HURT Heavily loaded and on the way from Montebello to Los Angeles, a Motor Transit Company stage turned over about 7:30 this morning and many were immediately rushed to hospitals and to their homes nearby. Reports received here indicate the accident occurred as the stage turned to the side of the road to pass another motor vehicle. It is said the stage skidded to the side of the roadway and turned over. The injured include Mary Briggs, or Montebello, whose shoulder was dislocated and body bruised. She was taken to the Montebello hospital. Miss Winona Whitside of Whittier was badly burned and rushed to the Montebello hospital. Her condition could not be learned this afternoon. Pauline Miller, Dorothy Marshall and Dorothy Parker, all from Montebello, were bruised and suffered severe shock. They were taken to their homes. All the passengers were injured in some way, although a majority were injured slightly. S. Q. R. STORE WILL ADD TO LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR The S. Q. R. store has found it necessary to enlarge its ladies ready-to-wear department in order to meet the demands of the employees. TEXAS COAST IN RISING TIDES PER HOUR CHAFFEE STORES ON PICNIC THURSDAY STORES CLOSED The H. G. Chaffee Company is formulating plans for their annual picnic at Brookside Park tomorrow, which will register a happy epoch in the lives of the 600 employees and families. Mindful of the truth that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" the H. G. Chaffee Company closes shop one day in the year for the best kind of a picnic that can result from such time and thought as is spent by the executive in laying plans for this employe' playday. This year consideration was given to San Bernardino, Pomono and Redondo as possible locations for the 1921 picnic, thinking that the em- Officials of the department of commerce today were considering asking the army or navy for planes to patrol, the little frequented stretches of coast near Cape Hatteras for some trace of the merchant vessels which have mysteriously vanished there. Meanwhile coast vessels were slipping in and out of coves and inlets near the cape in hope of picking up some clew—a bit of wreckage or a note which might have been left by some of the crews of the vanished vessel. If pirates raided the ships and murdered or captured the crews, as some officials believe, they must have left some trace along the shore. The disappearances extend over several months and a raiding vessel would have to have some base for operations along the shore. A list of twenty vessels which have disappeared in the last few months was made up at the commerce department today. Five of the vessels or possibly six were near Cape Hatteras when they went down. While the number of vessels which have vanished is not unusual, the fact that no trace has been found of them and that so many were last heard from near the same spot is very unusual. If they had been blown up, ran aground or even capsized some bit of freckage would have floated ashore to explain their fate. The sand-stranded schooner Carroll A. Deering, which beached on Hatteras with sails full set, was gone over again by government investigators. "We might as well have searched a painted ship upon a painted ocean for sight of the vanished crew," said one of the investigators in his report. The mystery ship is filled with sand. Sea gulls are using the beams that support the great ship clock as a roosting place, he reported. Not an oar, not a bit of driftwood from the other vessels which have joined the phantom squadron of the deep was discovered. These ships are the bark Albyn that sailed out of the Norfolk capes into oblivion; the Spanish stramer Yue, that wirelessed for help while ninth of Cape Hatteras and when nearby vessels rushed to the location given they found nothing but ocean, the American steamer Hewitt that vanished off the cape about the time the Deering drifted crowless to shore, and the William O'Brien, which disappeared north of the cape. On the theory that if any of the men are still alive they will return to their old haunts, detectives have looked up every address given in the ships' articles of two of the missing vessels. S. Q. R. STORE WILL ADD TO LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR The S. Q. R. store has found it necessary to enlarge its ladies ready-to-wear department in order to take care of the increasing trade in that particular department. The Cable Millinery, which is going out of business has occupied a 20 by 40 store at the rear of the S. Q. R. store on Los Angeles street and when the Cable Millinery relinquishes the store, it will be made a part of the S. Q. R. establishment. Mr. Renner, of the S. Q. R. stated today that it is planned to have the addition to the store ready for business by July 15th when there will be an extensive display of ladies ready-to-wear on sale. MEXICAN TAKES 14 YEAR OLD MAIDEN M. Cordosa, described as a "good looking Mexican," kidnapped Manuella Martiniz, 14 year old Whittier girl, a telegraphic report from Constable-R. B. Way told the sheriff's office this morning. They were traced to Buena Park, the officer said, but were lost there at 2 o'clock this morning. It is thought that they may apply here for a marriage license. INSANITY CHARGE LODGED YESTERDAY A complaint, charging insanity was issued by the district attorney Tuesday against W. F. Fisher, a negro who is serving a thirty day sentence for vagrancy. The complaint was issued at the request of Jaller Theodore Lacy, Jr., who says that the man has been acting strangely, and thinks that he should be examined. Mindful of the truth that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" the H. G. Chaffee Company closes shop one day in the year for the best kind of a picnic that can result from such time and thought as is spent by the executive in laying plans for this employes' playday. This year consideration was given to San Bernardino, Pomono and Redondo as possible locations for the 1921 picnic, thinking that the employees might enjoy the novelty of new grounds. The longer consideration was given to any one of these places, the surer the committee became that Brookside alone, with its wonderful picnic advantages, could produce the good time the company covets for its boys and girls on this annual picnic day. A conference with H. G. Chaffee, president, relative to holding the picnic on new grounds this year made it clear to the committee that he wanted them to go exactly where they wanted to, but as a last word he said I'll bet next year you'll be back at Brookside." The doors of the Chaffee stores and markets, as well as all other departments, located in sixty Southern California communities, will be closed for the day and the employees with their families and picnic baskets from the most distant points, Hemet, San Bernardino, Santa Ana, Anaheim and other locations, will leave at an early morning hour in order to arrive at Brookside by 9 o'clock a.m., to join in on the very beginning of things. Baseball and aquatics are scheduled for the morning with dinner coming from 12 to 1:30 under the pergola. At 1:30 a grand march, headed by Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Chaffee and preceded by the Elks' Band will lead across the green to the grand stand where will follow the events of the field meet, spiced with music. With Brookside as the place, with plans as arranged by thoughtful committees and with Southern California's ideal "picnicy" weather, just a little better time than ever before is being anticipated at this year's annual. The Chaffee firm hopes that a close of business for this picnic day will not too greatly inconvenience patrons and that they will co-operate with the company in making possible this NEW ATTORNEY.

A complaint, charging insanity was issued by the district attorney Tuesday against W. F. Fisher, a negro who is serving a thirty day sentence for vagrancy. The complaint was issued at the request of Jaller Theodore Lacy, Jr., who says that the man has been acting strangely, and thinks that he should be examined. SUIT TO SET ASIDE TITLE IS SETTLED The civil suit of Beebe versus Hefern was decided in favor of the defendant, the Heffern Oil Company late yesterday afternoon by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. The plaintiff, Bird [W. Beebe, a realitor of Anaheim], brought action to quit title to land near Placentia that had been leased by the defendant for the purpose of drilling for oil. Beebe claimed that they had failed to live up to the terms of the lease, in that no drilling operations had ever been started. A derrick was erected on the property, which Hefern termed a "toy," and asked the court that his title to the land be cleared of the lease. In deciding the suit in favor of the defendant, the judge expressed the opinion that the defendants acted in good faith, and attempted to fulfill the contract. NEW YORK.—Albon P. Man, Jr., suing to have his brother, Robert I. Man declared incompetent, charged the latter frequently asked for a salary raise. The judge couldn't see this as a sign of mental disorder. Despite the Columbia incident, other nations are notified that our foreign policy isn't an endowment policy. With Brookside as the place, with plans as arranged by thoughtful committees and with Southern California's ideal "plenicy" weather, just a little better time than ever before is being anticipated at this year's annual. The Chaffee firm hopes that a close of business for this picnic day will not too greatly inconvenience patrons and that they will co-operate with the company in making possible this employes' holiday by anticipating their needs a day in advance and doing their Thursday's shopping the day previous. MAY HAVE GIVEN A RIDE TO SLAYER OF DETECTIVE A report that a Mexican, carrying a gun and answering in some degree the description of "Phil" Alguin, who killed Detective Sergeant John J. Fitzgerald in Los Angeles last Saturday night, was seen in Orange county, it is believed. A Mr. McDonald of this city picked up a Mexican in his car at Brea early yesterday. The Mexican was short, dressed in a drak striped suit and striped shirt, and carrying a revolver. On seeing that McDonald was turning into Fullerton, at the intersection of the two roads leading to Los Angeles, the Mexican said "let me out here," climbed out of the car and hurried away. Mr. McDonald went on to his home and read the account of Fitzgerald's murder. It is believed that the Mexican riding with Mr. McDonald might possibly have been the one wanted in Los Angeles. Uncle Sam finds that the Jajanese Diet doesn't agree with him.

HOUSTON, Tex., June 22—Raging winds and sheets of rain swept the Texas gulf coast today, tearing trees from their roots and doing extensive property damage.

H. Rossetti, vice-president and cashier of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Los Angeles before the Rotary Club luncheon this noon, where about seventy members and guests assembled. "To assist in this important work," said Mr. Rossetti, "Congress has passed the Edge bill authorizing the formation of a Foreign Trade Finance Corporation with a capital of $100,000,000. The debentures of this corporation will be offered to the public and it is of the utmost importance that all of us assist in promoting the objects of this corporation. "To realize the necessity of developing foreign trade, I need only to call to your attention the fact that we consume only 65 per cent of what we produce. The other 35 per cent must be disposed of on foreign markets or the plants producing that percentage must cease production. You can imagine the effect on our industrial and economic life with more than a third of our production cut off. "We must also learn the value of economy. Daily I see great wastes. Men ride to and from their work in autos at a cost of $1.50 a day or more when far more cheaper forms of transportation are available. We should eliminate waste so far as possible in order to compete in foreign markets." S. C. Height, of the American City Bureau, also spoke a few words along the lines of community development. "Trade is increased mainly," he said, "by increasing the wants of the consult of the satisfaction of those wants. Often you hear a want expressed in the community. Directly, it is done. But it is done through some kind of an organization of public sentiment. That community progresses fastest which is in a position to realize quickest and most efficiently upon its wants and needs. "I do not need to ask for the assistance of the Rotary Club in this movement. Wherever we have been we have always found Rotarians willing to give fullest support to all matters for community advancement." SCHOOL BONDS FOR ORANGE AND YORBA HOUSTON, Tex., June 22—Raging winds and sheets of rain swept the Texas gulf coast today, tearing trees from their roots and doing extensive property damage. The gale, whose maximum velocity was 75 miles an hour, swept northwestward from the mouth of the Rio Grande. The howling storm, bringing with it a rapidly rising tide, was first reported from Brownsville after radio messages from the sea warned gulf coast inhabitants of danger. The gale swept the Padre and Brazos islands, off shore, and hundreds of vacationists fled to the mainland for safety. Flood warnings were given to people who live in the lowlands of Galveston, where the U.S. weather service reported a six foot rise in the tide. The city is nine feet above the low level and no extra precaution were taken within the sea wall proper. Water, however, falling in sheets drenched the island city. Many ships off the gulf coast were at the mercy of the battering winds, it was feared. A sixty mile gale, with tide rising rapidly was sweeping Corpus Christi, according to word here. Wind of a maximum-of 75 mile velocity was reported from Point Isabel. Life-saving crews on Padre and Brazos Island took refuge on shore. The storm was coming from the northeast. Radios from sea declared high winds were sweeping landward. Spray was breaking over the sea wall at Galveston, according to late reports reaching here. Weather observers said they did not expect further rise in the tide at Galveston and declared the sea wall, 15 feet high running along the gulf side of Galveston island, would check any danger. GALVESTON, Tex., June 22—Galveston is not in danger of a flood A.. R. Scott, government weather observer advised inhabitants here to day. Fears of many, who thought the rising tide, caused by a heavy gale would again destroy Galveston, were put at rest by the announcement. Scott stated that if the tide continued to rise some of the streets of the lowlands may be flooded from sewers, but that there was no danger to the island city proper. The oil tanker William M. Dohan was at the mercy of a heavy gale today. An SOB from Capital Locke was picked up at the radial station here. The appeal said: Blowing easterly gale. High seas SCHOOL BONDS FOR ORANGE AND YORBA The board of supervisors of Orange county in their regular weekly meeting Tuesday authorized the sale of bonds amounting to $160,000 for the Orange Union High School District, and bonds amounting to $25,000 for the Yorba school district. The sale will be held July 12 at eleven o'clock. Both bonds will bear six per cent interest. Plans and specifications for the proposed new jail for Orange county were laid before the supervisors today by John Parkinson, Los Angeles architect. The new jail will be much larger than the one now in use. It will be constructed where the sheriffs office now stands, directly across the street from the site of the present jail. A fight for the appointment of Attorney Joe C. Burke of Santa Ana as United States district attorney for the Southern California district is drawing to a close with success in sight. Economy, in this age, consists in eating less beef steak in order to save up the price of new tires.
