MEET PLANS Citizens Urged To Take Advantage Of Opportunity To Show Hospitality While Visitors Are Here. A communication thanking the people of Anaheim for their co-operation in the preparation for the coming convention of the Southern California Sunday School association and urging them to take advantage of this opportunity to show real Anaheim hospitality to the visitors when they arrive, was received today by the Herald from the general convention committee. The letter points out that help has been received from all of the churches, the chamber of commerce, the mayor and the city trustees and from the people of the city generally who have promised to throw open their homes to accommodate the delegates while in the city. More Autos Needed The letter makes a further appeal to the citizens to furnish an auto-mobile reputation for hospitality at Stake--Riley Harry D. Riley, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, in a statement issued to the Herald today says that the city's reputation for hospitality is at stake when the annual convention of the Southern California Sunday School Association opens here next week. He urges all citizens to co-operate with the committee in charge of the convention in the plans for the program in general and especially in connection with the parade of automobiles which closes the three-day session here. Mr. Riley's statement follows: "It has been brought forth by my attention during the past few days that the thirty-second annual convention of the Southern California Sunday School Association to be held at the White Temple here, next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, November 8, 9 and 10, will mean much to the Anaheim district and Orange county generally." "The committee engaged in perfecting plans for this great meeting of Sunday school workers report that they are short rooms and breakfast accommodation for one hundred couples. Also, that one hundred more automobiles must be loaned with drivers, to be at the White Temple at 2 p.m. Thursday, November 10, and to be in use at 4:30 that afternoon, in connection with the great auto parade of the delegates through Orange county." "Anaheim's reputation for hospi- More Autos Needed The letter makes a further appeal to the citizens to furnish an automobile for the parade and to attend the open sessions of the convention. The communication follows: "We thank you for the opportunity that you give us to say just a word to the people of Anaheim concerning the coming convention of the Southern California Sunday School association, which will meet in the White Temple November 8, 9 and 10. 1500 Visitors Expected "This gathering will bring a large number of visitors of a representative type to our city. It is expected that there will be at least 1500 visitors here each of the days named. As members of the general convention committee we wish officially to express our appreciation of the cooperation we have had from the churches of Anaheim and the citizens generally. "The city trustees joined with us in inviting the convention to Anaheim and the mayor of the city has issued a proclamation asking the business houses to close from 2 to 4 o'clock the afternoon of November 10, the time of the great parade. This will greatly help to give inspiration to all. We also appreciate the gift of the city fathers and their good will. Schools to Close Nov. 10 "We are also deeply grateful to the grammar and high school boards for closing the school the afternoon of November 10. "The chamber of commerce, which also joined with us in giving the invitation to the Sunday School association to hold its convention here, has helped us in many ways besides sending out effective publicity to the churches and papers of the state. "We appreciate the hospitality and good will of the citizens who have opened their homes to the incoming guests and this has been done by people of all religious faiths and of no profession. It is a big undertaking to try to entertain so large a company as will be here next week, but we hope to do it in such a way that they will remember Anaheim favorably, and so that some of them will want to make their home here. Good Speakers on Program The program has been arranged for the convention. We can say this as this has been the work of the state association. Many of the finest speakers of the state will speak from the convention platform and everyone of them will be worth hearing. "The women of the churches will generously engage in perfecting plans for this great meeting of Sunday school workers report that they are short rooms and breakfast accommodation for one hundred couples. Also, that one hundred more automobiles must be loaned with drivers, to be at the White Temple at 2 p.m. Thursday, November 10, and to be in use to 4:30 that afternoon. In connection with the great auto parade of the delegates through Orange county, "Anaheim's reputation for hospitality, long successfully maintained, is at stake unless we accomplish the desires of the committees now in the field, in regard to beds, meals and autos, above set forth. "May I ask that all who will furnish these accommodations, ring up the chamber of commerce, telephone 665, at once, stating full details in each case. You may be assured that your generous co-operation will be highly appreciated by the entire community." POLICE NET THROWN OUT TO GET THREE L. A. MAIL BANDITS LOS ANGELES Nov. 4. A "telegraphic cordon" was being cast all over Southern California today by postal authorities in an effort to capture three armed bandits who late last night literally kidnapped a United States mail truck from the heart of the congested district. An estimate on the loss had not been made today. Four sacks of registered mail were stolen. The mall thieves, in a touring car, ran their machine directly in front of the mail truck, which had just left a postal sub-station, and stopped, blocking the narrow street. One of the bandits ran back, jumped on the step of the mail truck and thrust a revolver against Nelson G. Grimes, the driver. "Make a false move and I'll drill you," he said. "Drive ahead." Grimes drove the truck as directed half way across the city, the bandit car following close behind. The strange caravan came to a halt in a vacant lot opening to a dark little-use alley. Handcuffing the driver to the wire cage of the truck, the bandits hauled out four full sacks of registered mail, loaded them into their own car, and disappeared. Pedestrians did not find Grimes for a quarter of an hour, despite his calls for help, according to his story.

Good Speakers on Program The program has been arranged for the convention. We can say this as this has been the work of the state association. Many of the finest speakers of the state will speak from the convention platform and everyone of them will be worth hearing. "The women of the churches will serve two meals each of the first two days and the noon meal the last day, providing for 500 at each time. This, with what the restaurants can serve, will take care of the situation in this particular. It is requested that the Anaheim friends give the church dining room over to use of our visiting friends for these days." "May we make this one request: That every loyal citizen of Anaheim who has not done so already, furnish a car for the parade. "See the beautiful pageant prepared and given by local talent. Be sure to attend the evening meetings, and the last night hear 'Doc Brougher in his humorous lecture. What's Under Your Hat.' and see the film that night, 'Alice in Hungerland.'" LOS ANGELES FACTORY DESTROYED BY FIRE EARLY TODAY LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4.—The $85,000 plant of the Elaterite company in the West Vernon district was completely wiped out in an early morning fire today.

The Pioneer Paper company and other nearby industrial plants were saved only after a hard fight. The Elaterite company has been manufacturing a compound used by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company in the manufacture of tires. EXPLOSION OF TANK CAUSES FIRE ALARM Explosion of a acetylene tank at the Anaheim Welding company this afternoon resulted in considerable excitement but little damage. A backfire in an engine on which work was being done caused the explosion. A part of the tank was hurled through the roof. By the time the fire department arrived the burning carbide had been extinguished. Madalynne Obenchain Be Freed by Judge LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4.—Jail doors may swing open today for beautiful Madalynne Obenchain, almost three months to the day since John Belton Kennedy was shot to death by "two dim figures" while in her company. Superior Judge Reeve announced today that he would not postpone his decision on Attorney Charles Erbstein's motion for a dismissal of the case against Madalynne. Erbstein's motion will be acted upon at 2 p.m. It is based on the allegation that Madalynne has not been brought to trial within sixty days after indictment, as required under the California penal code.

ANAHEIM SECOND TEAM WINS FROM ORANGE IN GAME HERE The Orange "skeeter-weight" football team met defeat by the Anaheim "skeeter-weights" yesterday afternoon on the local field. The game was a fight from start to finish, the final score resulting 13 to 0 in Anaheim's favor. This afternoon the Orange regular team is playing the Anaheim team to decide third place in the Orange County league. The game promises to be a fast one because the two teams are evenly matched in weight. BUILDING PERMITS FOR THREE DAYS PASS OCTOBER MARK Anaheim's building program for the month of November has started off most propitiously.

Ingram, dwelling - $14, ANAHEIM Mayor Asks Merchants to Close Stores Next Thursday William Stark, mayor of Anaheim, today issued a proclamation urging the merchants and professional men of the city to close their stores and offices from 2 to 4 o'clock next Thursday afternoon and to join the monster parade planned in connection with the convention of the Southern California Sunday School Convention. The mayor's proclamation follows: The Southern California Sunday School Association is to hold its convention in Anaheim November 8, 9 and 10. It is very fitting that we should bid these visitors welcome and that we should extend to them the freedom and hospitality of our city. We are fortunate to have in our most these devoted workers representing so largely the towns and cities of Southern California, and these national experts and instructors in child welfare and religious training. As the afternoon of Thursday, November 10, is to be devoted to a demonstration and parade by the visiting delegates and local workers, assisted by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, I urge our citizens to join in this demonstration, and ask the merchants and business men as far as possible to SHERIFF JACKSON WILL GO TO TENNESSEE TO GET PRISONER Sheriff C. E. Jackson will leave for Memphis, Tenn., the latter part of this week or the first of next week to bring back Henry Coyle, held by the police pending Jackson's arrival at the southern city. This was decided at a meeting of the deputies yesterday afternoon in which Mrs. Swanick acted as executive. That the sheriff was in need of the slight vacation offered by the trip was the decision of the deputies, who insisted that he make the trip. That the brief respite from his arduous days and busy nights will be welcomed by the sheriff and will afford him a brief rest was the hope of the deputies. The trip will also enable the sheriff to see his brother and father as he passes through Fort Worth, Texas, on the Southern Pacific as he travels eastward. Jackson formerly lived in Tennessee and is a native of Alabama. MYSTERY SURROUNDS MEETING OF COUNCIL Unprecedented secrecy surrounds the action of the city trustees at their joint meeting with the executive committee of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce held in the council chambers last night. The call for the special meeting announced that its purpose would be to consider plans under which the city limits of Anaheim could be extended to take in a large Man Who Fired Home Given Year To Life LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4—Leo W. Hurst, convicted of arson and burning insured property, yesterday was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Willis to serve one year to life on the arson charge and one to ten years on the other count.

WOMAN GETS $8000 FOR HURT RECEIVED IN AUTO COLLISION Judgment to the amount of $8000 was awarded to Mrs. Blanche Newton DEAF MAN ATTACKS STATEMENT MADE BY JUSTICE JOHN COX W. E. Dudley of Santa Monica takes issue with Justice John B. Cox on statements made by the latter in an article in Touring Topics for October in which the judge classes deaf persons among those incompetent to operate a motor vehicle. Dudley is deaf and states that he has driven a car for the last six years and that he has derived much pleasure from his driving. He also maintains that he is entirely competent to drive and accuses the judge of basing his discrimination against deaf people driving cars from the impressions gained from the few who have appeared before him in court. Dudley declares that in the years he has been driving he has never had a bit of trouble and feels himself entirely competent to handle his car. Those deaf persons who have come to the judge's attention are exceptions to the rule, according to the Santa Monica man, who suggests that the judge should not base his opinion on such a foundation. In closing Dudley asks that Judge Cox not publish further articles against the ability of the deaf to drive automobiles. Cox, in answer to the objections in the letter, stated that he did not think that the safety of the greater number should be imperiled by the actions of a few who are seeking their own pleasure and that he still maintains that he has taken a proper stand in holding deaf persons incompetent to drive an automobile with the highest degree of safety for themselves and others. Judge Cox will go to Los Angeles tomorrow to address the Los Angeles City club and safety council on the subject of accident prevention. UNPREcedented secrecy surrounds the action of the city trustees at their joint meeting with the executive committee of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce held in the council chambers last night. The call for the special meeting announced that its purpose would be to consider plans under which the city limits of Anaheim could be extended to take in a large portion of the surrounding territory and thereby include a population which is now receiving many of the benefits of citizens and which, for the greater part, is anxious that the property be annexed to the city. Information from unusually authentic sources indicate that although no definite action was taken, plans were laid whereby the city limits of Anaheim would be extended to include thousands of acres situated in a circle around the city. It is understood that several important questions were turned over to City Manager Stewart for investigation and that a thorough report of his findings will be made at a meeting to be called in the near future. CAR THIEF SENTENCED TO SERVE TERM IN SAN QUENTIN Leonard E. Kelly was today denied probation and sentenced to a term of from one to ten years in San Quentin on the charge of stealing an automobile in Santa Ana October 21. Kelly's petition for probation was denied by Judge R. Y. Williams when the past record of the youth, who is 20 years of age, was waived before the court. The stolen car was a Chandler, the property of Mrs. Fannie Reeves of French street, Santa Ana. Kelly said that he took the car in an effort to get back to Los Angeles after he had left in Santa Ana by a friend who failed to call for him. He was caught in Los Angeles several hours later when he was observed by city police in an infraction of traffic regulations. $10,000 Check Found Worthless; Man Held OAKLAND, Nov. 4—R. L.

Cameron, Roy McKenzie and Peter Fitzgerald, held in the county jail on vagrancy charges, were dismissed today by Judge Cox on a motion by District Attorney A. P. Nelson. The boys were held on the suspicion that they might know something concerning the deserted car found on the San Diego road near Capistrano about a week ago. This car was registered in the name of H. G. Patee of Riverside. In turning the boys loose, the judge advised taem to accumulate a little more money before again starting out to travel and suggested that riding was better than walking as a mode of traveling. County Officers On Hunt For Three Stolen Autos Three stolen cars missing from Bakersfield within the last few days are described in a telegram received today by Sheriff C. E. Jackson from D. B. Newell, sheriff of Kern county. The missing cars are a Standard 8 with disc wheels, a Chevrolet touring and an Oakland touring model.

After his alleged confession he paid Cavaller the $10,000. World-Wide Campaign to Check Bolshevism—"The no God, no country, no flag idea"—instituted by the International Sunday School association, has brought into harmonious action all the nations of Christendom, according to information just received by C. C. Chapman, "the Orange King" of Fullerton who is a director on the international board. The message of this wonderful constructive work for the happiness and perpetuity of highly civilized institutions was received in a letter from W. C. Pearce, assistant secretary of the International Sunday School association, on board the steamship Cedric, homeward bound to New York. Mr. Pearce, regarded as the foremost Sunday school builder of the church today, sailed for Europe last spring, charged with the mission of getting in touch with all the Christian nations and urging them to get together in a militant, co-operative, tremendous world-wide campaign to stamp out the iniquitous doctrine of Bolshevism, which insidiously works to sap the strength of the nations and undermine the foundations of established governments.

Jim Wright of Huntington Beach had partaken of the contents of only one can of the preserved heat and was able to pay his fine of $20 when arraigned before Justice of the Peace Warner. The others were fined $20, but were unable to pay, with the result that they are serving time in the county jail at the rate of a dollar each day. "Canned heat" is the latest discovery of the booze fiends, who seem bound to acquire a jag by any method possible, according to officers in the sheriff's office, who stated that they had never had a case of this kind come to their notice before. The men were taken on a charge of drunkenness by Jack Tinsley, city marshal of Huntington Beach. All were in a hilarious mood and seemed to suffer little from the effects of the strange drink. The "canned heat" is said to consist largely of wood alcohol and contains some gasoline. The wood alcohol is considered a poisonous substance and is extremely injurious to the lining of the stomach.

Utter. THREE CHIROPRACTORS TO FACE TRIAL ON STATE CHARGE J. A. Hatch, J. G. Kelley and A. D. Anderson, Santa Ana chiropractors, were today held to answer to the superior court on a charge of practicing a method of healing without a license from the state board of medical examiners, following their appearance before Justice J. B. Cox yesterday afternoon for their preliminary examination. The complaints in this case were filed last March and the work of secucing evidence and preparing for a legal battle has been in progress since that time. Griffith Jones of Los Angeles was attorney for the defendants and C. N. Mozley, deputy district attorney, was in charge of the prosecution. J. A. Carter, special investigator for the state medical board, was at the hearing. "Ah," said the youthful mariner, a great light dawning on him. "Twelve pounds." — The American Legion Weekly.

Smith is alleged to have seen a man answering Solomon's description set fire to the oil sump at the refinery, and shout, "I hope the whole thing burns." C. M. Fuller, general manager of the refinery, said today he had sufficient three other witnesses in addition to Smith. Company to Prosecute /The Richfield company intends vigorous prosecutions. Fuller said. This is the second allegedly incendiary fire at its refinery within six weeks. Both are laid by Fuller and other officials to strike troubles. While the fire six weeks ago was nipped almost the instant it broke out, yesterday's was spectacular in the extreme and threatened total destruction to the Richfield properties. "Balloons" of flame leaped hundreds of feet into the air. FLAMES DESTROY FIVE PIERS ON ATLANTIC WATER FRONT NEW YORK, Nov. 4—Fire swept the Weehawken water front for half a mile today, destroying five piers of the Erie railroad, two oil laden trains, a huge warehouse and thirty barges before it was finally under control. The damage was estimated at $3000-000. Embers from the terrific blaze rained down upon New York's theater and cabaret district while crews of vessels up and down the river were called to fire posts because of blazing fragments blown across the river. Fanned by a high wind, great columns of smoke and billowing flames shot up from the burning piers and all oil tank trains on the Weehawken river front, making the blaze the most spectacular witnessed from Manhattan since the Black Tom disaster.

Mr. Pearce was accorded a whole-hearted enthusiastic welcome by church and state—They were mighty glad he had come! "The door was wide open," says Mr. Pearce, "and we succeeded in getting in contact with all the constructive spiritual factors that will quickly restore the sane balance of the peoples of the world. The real campaign is not in full swing yet but it has started and will gain the momentum that will carry everything before it." The success of Mr. Pearce in its full significance—the return of the nations of the world to God—means more to human happiness, prosperity, progress and peace than anything the coming conference at Washington may achieve, since the foundation Mr. Pearce has laid will be indestructible, while any superstructure of state, no matter how imposing it may be in itself, is unsafe and will inevitably collapse unless it is predicated upon something stronger, surer and safer than a "scrap of paper" upon which men have scribbled signatures that are meaningless in the realm of crafty diplomacy. SPREAD OF COAL STRIKE IS HALTED TO AWAIT OWNER'S ACTION CHICAGO, Nov. 4—Spread of the unauthorized strike of bituminous coal miners was halted today pending action by the mine owners on the check-off injunction. With approximately $5,000 miners on strike in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, further walkouts hinged on whether mine operators would abide by the court ruling and refuse to withhold union dues from the miners' pay. Decision by the operators as to whether they will violate the injunction, or violate the contract with the miners' union, is expected to be announced in all fields within a week. Indiana operators were the first to announce they would agree to the ruling made by Judge A. B. Anderson and today they were faced with practically a complete tie up of operations. The Illinois mine operators will meet in Chicago on November 10, to take action. Although all men were urged to remain at work by Frank Farrington, head of the union in the Illinois district, approximately 3500 walked out at various mines throughout the state. The annual convention of the Illinois miners will be held at Peoria next week and a further rift in the ranks of the United Mine Workers of America is expected to result when Farrington launches his expected attack on John L. Lewis, president of the organization. Anaheim Bowlers To Meet Los Angeles Team Here Matches in the Southern California Bowling League will be played on the local alleys tonight.
