EMPLOYMENT OF MORE MEN NECESSARY TO FILL ORDERS
The need in Anaheim of such plant as the Young Sash and Door Company is strongly evidenced by the volume of work that is being handled every day. Mr. Young states that it is necessary to work at maximum capacity to keep up with the orders and that the employment of more men will soon be necessary. This is an excellent indication of the extent of the building that is going on in and around Anaheim.
The Young Sash and Door Company is filling a long felt want in supplying all kinds of mill work, sash and doors and furnishing all kinds of machine work to the contractors and builders of this vicinity. Heretofore, it was necessary to go out of town for all of this work but now it can be done promptly and with much less expense right here in Anaheim by experienced bench and machine men.
A visit to this plant yesterday was a most interesting one. In one section could be seen cabinet makers building counters for the new Ahlswede building in Fullerton and making meat boxes for the Anaheim Beef and Provision Company. In another section men were found machining and putting up doors and windows and others were running mouldings for the new auditorium building of the Anaheim Union High School. Every workman was exceedingly busy as was Mr. Young who was taking great care to see that no work was sent out that was not first class in every respect. Mr. Young welcomes callers and is always glad to answer questions and to show what is being done in the plant.

MADRID, Nov. 5.—One hundred and twenty thousand Spanish reservists of the 1921 class have been called to the colors and today 20,000 were allocated to service against the rebellious Moors in Morocco. This brings the strength of the Spanish army in Morocco to more than 150,000 men. The rainy season has begun in Morocco and lack of shelter has caused much sickness among the Spanish soldiers.

DETECTIVE WHO FOUND POODLE DOG WILL SOLVE MYSTERY
Man Who Robbed Two Homes Here Still at Large
Anaheim police are still looking for a man who fits the description of the robber who entered the homes of City Attorney Homer Ames and Guy B. Evans Thursday afternoon and escaped with a woman's wrist watch and a diamond ring, valued at $250. The loot was taken from the home of Mr. Evans, the thief having been frightened away from the Adams home before he had time to obtain anything of value.
The description of the man furnished to the police by Mrs. Evans, who saw the man prowling about the home before she left, is as follows: Height, 6 feet, 6 inches; weight, 180 pounds age, 50; gray hair, smooth face, and wore a gray suit, dark hat, white shirt, collar and tie.
The local police are working on the theory that both robberies were the work of the same man, since they occurred within an hour of each other. The Ames home was entered about 3:30 o'clock and the Evans home 4:30. The thief gained entrance to the Ames home through a screen porch in the rear by chopping a panel out of the door with a hatchet. It is thought that children playing nearby frightened the thief away. Entrance to the Evans home was made through a window.

Family Bibles Used to Verify Ages of Boys
With the family Bible accepted as authoritative records, the ages of Robert Rosser and Charles Handy, held on a charge of murder in connection with the shooting of Mrs. Anna May Ricketts at Anaheim Landing, were certified as 15 and 16, respectively, before Judge R. Y. Williams in the juvenile court today.
Due to the magnitude of the charge, the case was removed from the juvenile court by Judge Williams and the arraignment of the lads is expected before Justice J. B. Cox early Monday.
The parents of both boys were in court today. They testified confirming the records in the family Bibles and told of the troubles of the lads during the last few years.
Charles Handy is the third of a family of fourteen children, according to the family Bible, all of whom are still living. W. J. Handy, the father of the family, is not in good health and his family is having a hard time to secure the necessities of life, it is said. The son, Charles, had been working near Van Nuys recently and for some time had been in close touch with his family. On various other occasions he had taken long trips and his parents had not known where he went.
Handy was born in Bethany, Oklahoma, February 21, 1905. Rosser was born in Oelwein, Iowa, March 28, 1906. The records of the boys as certified by the family Bibles will probably be accepted as correct by the court.
DETECTIVE WHO FOUND POODLE DOG WILL SOLVE MYSTERY
Philo Gubb, who is perhaps the best-known detective in the world next to Sherlock Holmes, has been asked by the authorities to help them solve a most baffling mystery.
Philo's reputation has gone all over the United States through the columns of one of the big magazines and his business as a paper hanger has prospered according. Gubb is primarily a paper hanger but after becoming the star graduate of the Rising Sun Correspondence school for amateur detectives and investing some thirty-nine or forty dollars in wigs, whiskers and other disguises, he felt called upon to solve all mysteries that the local police of his town could not fathom.
He has to his credit many a returned poodle dog, has traced the final consumption of many prize winning fowls and in one case established a perfect alibi for a male client and thereby preserved his client's family relations.
But to back to our story, Gubb has been requested to solve the mystery of the SIX men who have announced through the advertising columns of the press that they are coming to town. Local authorities received the information that this sextelete of strangers would invade our fair city but for what purpose they have been unable to discover. The mystery of the truck load of contraband liquor that disappeared while en route from San Francisco has put the police department on edge all over Southern California and while it is not believed that the SIX men have any connection with the Eighteenth Amendment the officials believe in suspecting everybody first and proving them innocent afterwards.
All of the information that could be obtained by the reporter was that the men would arrive in some very fine motor cars and would be accompanied by a few light trucks but the nature of the contents of the trucks is still a puzzle. We will await Gubb's solution of the mystery with great interest.

MAN DISAPPEARS WITH CAR; DEALER AND POLICE ON TRAIL
Failure to complete payments on a Haynes car valued at $2250 is the charge in a complaint filed against J. A. Cash, who formerly resided in Fullerton. Cash has disappeared with the car and is thought to have gone to the Texas oil fields. The complaint was filed by H. O. Artz, who sold the car to Cash and states that $1200 is still due on the purchase price.
Cash wrote to Artz from Tuscon, Ariz., several days ago, stating that he was on his way to Texas to secure money to complete the payments on the car. In the letter, Cash stated that he had 320 acres of land, which he would turn over to the dealer in event that he was unable to secure his price of the car as promised.
Cash was not to take the car out of the state before completion of payments and has not been located since writing from Tuscon.

About 200 men sat at the banquet that served as a recess between the afternoon and evening sessions, and practically all of them remained to take part in the business that followed.
CROOK WANTED HERE HELD IN NEW JERSEY
Taken in New Jersey on a similar charge to those for which he is wanted in several Southern California cities, Fred McMorris is being held by the police in Woodbury, N.J., pending word from Santa Ana and Los Angeles officers as to the course of action to be taken.
McMorris was taken by Burns detectives. He is said to be a smooth worker and is charged with having drawn bank drafts on a bank in Boston in which he had no funds. These drafts, of which there are said to have been several drawn, were all for $300.
McMorris worked a confidence scheme, securing the backing of some well-known person in a community by representing himself as having been sent by some friend of that person. This person then assisted him to secure payment on the draft, which was drawn on a Boston bank.
It is expected that Los Angeles and Orange county officials will join forces to share expenses in returning the man to face charges in both places.

TO WORK MONDAY
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.—Thirty-five thousand coal miners on strike in the central district against the check-off system; injunction are expected to return to work by Monday pending final action by the United States circuit court of appeals.
The court now has the writ issued by Judge A. B. Anderson in Indianapolis under consideration. Transcripts of all evidence and arguments presented in the Indianapolis court will be studied by the judges prior to November 16 when a hearing will be held.
The court ordered enforcement of the injunction shall be held in abeyance pending the appeal.
This ruling was called as a victory by union officials, who regarded the injunction as a death blow to all organized labor in the event it was upheld.
Mine operators were not so optimistic. They believed the court's action merely postponed the showdown and that if there was to be a strike it would be better to get it over with immediately.
In case the Anderson injunction is upheld finally and operators are ordered to refuse to collect union dues from the workmen by withholding the assessments from their pay, there is no doubt but that there will be a general strike in the minds of either the operators or the union chiefs.
"The miners will lay down their picks in case this injunction is made permanent," William A. Glasgow, an attorney for the union, said.

MRS. BATES WANTS TO SERVE TERM IN COUNTY JAIL NOW
Impelled by a powerful conscience and now that the reason for her probation has been removed, Mrs. Isla Bates is seeking to serve the term in the county jail which she believes is facing her.
Mrs. Bates, who is a chiropractor, was convicted on April 29, 1921, of practicing a mode of healing without a license from the state medical board. A plea for probation was granted to enable Mrs. Bates to care for her husband, who had been discharged from the army a short time before and was believed to be dying from tuberculosis.
Mr. and Mrs. Bates went to Tujunga where, according to Mrs. Bates, the high altitude and chiropractic treatments have so far aided in the recovery of her husband as to permit him to care for himself while she serves her sentence.
That matyrdom for the cause of the chiropractic profession has prompted the action of Mrs. Bates as well as the dictates of her conscience, is the opinion of Probation Officer R. R. Miller, to whom the letter was addressed.
