TEN PAGES AN CROWN PRINCE OF JAPAN WILL RULE COUNTRY EMPEROR IS ILL Hirohito Named Regent; Count Chinda Will Be His Advisor, Delegates To U.S. Conference Are Told. WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Crown Prince Hirohito has been made regent of Japan. A definite decision to name the twenty-year-old prince as the head of the Japanese empire has been reached, the principal Japanese delegates here were advised today. Prince Hirohito is being made regent because his father, the emperor, is in such a failing state of health that he can no longer make any attempt to discharge the rulers of the empire. It has been reported that the emperor, Yoshihito, has suffered a complete mental and physical break down—that his mind is failing and his body paralyzed. Several times he has been declared at the point of death. The decision to name Hirohito re- WILL SOLICIT $15,000 FOR ORANGE SHOW NEXT YEAR Twenty-five enthusiastic orange show builders met at the Chamber of Commerce offices Wednesday afternoon and framed the foundation for next year's exposition. Tom McFadden, chairman of the California Valencia Orange Show finance committee, presided. Each man promised to interview a number of persons, from a list to be presented next Tuesday, in the endeavor to raise $15,000, with which to stage the 1922 show. Herman Stern, executive chairman, read the financial plan which was adopted August; 21 at a meeting of the executive committee and chamber of commerce directors. At that meeting it was decided to fix the nucleus at $25,000, paying back all the income over that amount to the subscribers in the order of their subscription; it being undercod that 7 per cent interest be paid all subscribers. When all subscriptions are retired, all funds derived from expositions will be the property of the California Valencia Orange Show. Those present at the meeting included Barnes, Hartfield, Clausen, Stern, Stock, Osborne, O.

The Japanese empire has been reached, the principal Japanese delegates here were advised today. Prince Hirohito is being made regent because his father, the emperor, is in such a failing state of health that he can no longer make any attempt to discharge the rulers of the empire. It has been reported that the emperor, Yoshihito, has suffered a complete mental and physical break down—that his mind is failing and his body paralyzed. Several times he has been declared at the point of death. The decision to name Hirohito regent was reached in consultations between the empress and the elder statesmen of Japan and the crown prince himself. May Get Emperor's Power The authority of the emperor's name also probably will have to be given to the appointment. The youth assumes office with Japan in the throes of many important changes. The Japanese monarchy—the oldest in the world—is being forced gradually to respond to the spirit of liberalism and democracy, which is slowly sweeping the empire; not many days ago, Premier Hara, the strong leader of the Japanese government, was assassinated, now Japan is participating in a great international conference which probably will strip her fleet of many of its proudest war ships and which will subject her plans and ambitions in the far east to close scrutiny and probably dramatic revision. Authority to Increase Just what effect the becoming of Hirohito as regent will have on Japan's policies and participation in the present Washington conference is difficult now to foresee. One certain result, however, undoubtedly will be a noticeable increase of authority from the throne of Japan, as the present emperor's complete illness has left the responsibility of the empire almost entirely on the shoulders of the premier. TWO MEN GO TO JAIL FOR THEFT; WOMAN GOES HOME Found guilty today of petty larceny on a charge of stealing walnuts, Manuel Ybarra, Mary Castra and Espiso Castra were sentenced by Justice J. B. Cox to serve thirty days each in the county jail. A plea by the woman that she would like to go home and get her house in order before starting to serve her sentence and that she had chickens that would have to be cared for, won for her a suspended sentence from the judge. The two men will serve their sentence. SCHNEIDERS MARKET HAS BEEN ENLARGE Ed W. Schneider is one of the progressive young business men of Anaheim who believes in keeping up with the growth of the city. Schneider's Market, 129 West Center street, has recently enlarged and a new refrigerator installed which makes his equipment complete. The new refrigerating room is 16 by 22 feet. It is surrounded by more than 800 feet of ammonia coils which makes it a miniature ice factory. The temperature in this ice box or refrigerating room is always maintained below freezing, insuring the preservation of meats, fish, game, oysters and food products in the most wholesome manner. Mr. Schneider is to be commended for his enterprise which is being rewarded by a constantly widening business. He is youthful in appearance, but something of a pioneer in Anaheim business circles, having established Schneider's Market in 1911.

W. Smalley as he was walking beside the boulevard. The statements of the plaintiff are generally denied and the fact that he contributed to his own injury by walking on the pavement with his back to the approaching truck and showed no light or other warning was included in the answer. Smith is seeking $5,000 damages as well as $1,500 for the loss of time at his work and approximately $247,50 for medical attention to the injuries he is alleged to have received when hit by the truck. U. S.

Both men are said to have made a written confession of the murder and are expected to declare themselves ready for sentence at the arraignment.

Bradley, well-to-do oil operator of Long Beach, to the suit for $150,000 filed against him by Albert B.

STEWART ASKS PEOPLE TO ANNEX PROPERTY TO THIS CITY City Manager O. B. Steward is busy these days convincing residents of territory adjacent to the city limits that they should "join the city." He says that the principal objection raised is that regarding an increase in taxation. Many people believe that the placing of their property within the city limits will make a far greater difference in taxes than will actually be the case, it is said. Mr. Steward points out that the increase will be very small because property admitted to the city is not subject to the taxa. He Wore Gloves When He Worked Declares Tramp Guy Falkes paid another visit to the county jail last night. The possibility that he might stay longer was expressed this morning by Justice J. B. Cox, who questioned the itinerant when he was brought in on a vagrancy charge by Santa Ana officers. Falkes has been in the county jail before. He was taken in Santa Ana nearly a year ago and served a short sentence on a petty larceny charge. This time he was picked up by the Santa Ana police as he left a truck on which he said he had just ridden up from Tia Juanna. "What were you doing in Tia Juana, Guy?" asked the judge. "Having a good time," replied the prisoner. "Where were you going?" the judge inquired. "To San Francisco." "What are you going to do there?" "Work." "What kind of work?" "I'm going back to see, Judge." "Done any work lately, Guy?" "Sure, Judge I had a job in Santa Cruz about a month ago." Judge Cox inspected the hands of the prisoner and asked what kind of work the prisoner had been doing. "I wore gloves when I worked," Falkes supplied. Falkes pleaded not guilty to the vagrancy charge and was to stand trial before the court late today or tomorrow morning. well-to-do oil operator of Long Beach, to the suit for $150,000 filed against him by Albert B. Pickard, an oil worker, for the asserted alienation of the affections of Mrs. Leona Pickard, wife of the plaintiff. The case soon will be brought to trail in the suprior court. The defendant denies in his answer that he stole the love of the plaintiff's wife. Pickard was recently arrested on a charge of attempted extortion at the point of a revolver of $20,000 from Mr. Bradley. He charged that he and his wife lived happily until Mr. Bradley appeared at their home in Moonshine Hill, Texas. Mr. Bradley charged that Pickard demanded $100,000 from him for asserted alienation of affections. Dry Agents Destroy Much Wine and Hooch PITTSBURG, Kans., Nov. 25.—Federal prohibition agents, working with local authorities in an anti-liquor drive the last ten days have destroyed 8000 gallons of wine, forty gallons of whisky, 2000 gallons of home brew, and 1000 gallons of corn mash.

Police To Open War on Tongmen SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Unless tung wars in San Francisco permanently terminate in this city's Chinatown within three days the police department will take steps to drive all members of the warring factions out of the city. Chief of Police Daniel O'Brien notified the local Consul General of China here today.

Chicago 5-Cent Fare Blocked By Court CHICAGO, Nov. 25.—Federal Judge George Carpenter, at noon yesterday issued a temporary restraining order against the city of Chicago and the Illinois Commerce Commission enjoining them from enforcing the commission's order reducing Chicago street car fares from 8 to 5 cents.

The commission's order reducing fares was issued Wednesday night after a hearing lasting several weeks. Just Like The Movies But Pistol Was Loaded SACRAMENTO, Nov. 25.—"This is the way they do in the movies," said Florence Wheeler, 12 years old, at SACRAMENTO, Nov. 25. City Manager O. E. Steward is busy these days convincing residents of territory adjacent to the city limits that they should "join the city." He says that the principal objection raised is that regarding an increase in taxation. Many people believe that the placing of their property within the city limits will make a far greater difference in taxes than will actually be the case, it is said. Mr. Staward points out that the increase will be very small because property admitted to the city is not subject to the taxation on any bonds previously voted and that the saving in the handling of the sewage and reduced cost of electric lights and water more than offset the tax increase. ARBUCKLE TAKES STAND IN OWN DEFENSE DENIES CHARGE SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Roscoe Arbuckle was ready to go on the witness stand and make a sweeping denial of the charge that he fatally injured Virginia Rappe during a pajama party on Labor Day. If he testifies today Arbuckle, it is understood, will declare: 1. That he was not alone with Miss Rappe for more than ten minutes. 2. That he followed her into his bed room only when he saw she was ill. 3. That she became hysterical when he was attempting to care for her. The big guns of the Arbuckle defense were to be unlimbered today. To Bare Movie Parties Attorneys representing the big comedian let it be known they will start introducing testimony which probably will include inside details of parties in moviedom, testimony of medical and finger print experts, a story of the life of Virginia Rappe and finally as a grand climax, perhaps, the personal appearance of Arbuckle on the stand. A lock of Virginia Rappe's hair, hair pins alleged to have been found scattered over Arbuckle's bed room, a feather said to be from the pillow of Arbuckle's bed and perhaps bath room fixtures bearing finger prints will be introduced, in an effort to send Fatty to prison for ten years for alleged manslaughter. These exhibits, according to prosecution attorneys, were found when a microscopic examination of the floor of Arbuckle's apartment was made by E. O. Heinrichs the state's criminologist. Theories of Prosecution. The things he found, the state contends, tend to prove: 1. That there was a struggle in the room during Arbuckle's party, and 2. That the room never was thorny. "I'm going back to see, Judge." "Done any work lately, Guy?" "Sure, Judge, I had a job in Santa Cruz about a month ago." Judge Cox inspected the hands of the prisoner and asked what kind of work the prisoner had been doing. "I wore gloves when I worked," Falkes supplied. Falkes pleaded not guilty to the vagrancy charge and was to stand trial before the court late today or tomorrow morning. RED CROSS DRIVE HERE IS FAILURE, SAYS CHAIRMAN According to Chairman Victor La Mont, the local Red Cross drive for membership in the fifth annual roll call this year has proven a failure up to date, but he says it is not so much the fault of the people as the lack of interest and enthusiasm shown by the workers. "Workers must devote time and energy to this effort," said Mr. La Mont. "I feel sure that by extending the campaign until November 20 (next Wednesday) the quota, $1,600, can be raised. For the convenience of voluntary workers, the chairman has left receipts, window posters and buttons at the Chamber of Commerce. He has requested that all books, now filled, be turned in at the office. If any worker has more books than he can handle, he is requested to turn these in to the offices, 132 North Los Angeles street, so they can be given out to other people." Among the business people who have to date reported 100 per cent subscriptions are: S. Q. R. Store, William Falkenstein, Anaheim Feed and Fuel Co., Sebastian Brothers and the Ford Garage. It is understood that there are at least twelve or fifteen more firms who claim this record. The American Legion has volunteered to sell 250 subscriptions. With other communities closing their quotas today, I feel rather ashamed of Anaheim, the city that does things in jig time," said La Mont. "Let us hope that local enthusiasm will rally to this patriotic work." BULL DOG FIGHTS ST. BERNARD TO SAVE GIRL'S LIFE LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.—How a huge bull dog probably saved the life of Mrs. A. Cameron, a maid in the home of H. P. Moran, 356 South St. Andrews place, was revealed by the police yesterday. Mrs. Cameron often fed a St. Bernard dog belonging to Enrique De la Vega, who lives next door to the Morrisans as she placed a plate of food 'Just Like The Movies But Pistol Was Loaded SACRAMENTO, Nov. 25.—"This is the way they do in the movies," said Florence Wheeler, 12 years old, at her home at the Six-Mile House yesterday, as she pointed a platoon at her temple. She pulled the trigger. The revolver was loaded. A shot penetrated her head. Her horrified brother, Donald, 14, saw her drop to the floor mortally wounded. The girl was brought to the Sister's hospital here, where she died at 7 o'clock last night. The pistol was one borrowed by her parents after the house twice had been held up recently by highwaymen. Organizers Are Barred From Martial Law Zone WALSENBURG, Colo., Nov. 25.—Inter-Mine Workers of America were ordered yesterday to keep out of all coal camps in Huerrana county while martial law is in effect. The order applies not only to mines of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company affected by the strike against reduction in wages, but also to all other mines in the county. The order was given to John McLennan, president of District 15, and Robert-Foster and Frank Heflerly, international organizers, by Colonel Patrick J. Hamrock, adjutant general, in charge of the military under marital law here. RADIO TO ADVISE FLIERS OF WEATHER WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—A radio system designed to give information to aviators of weather conditions along their routes of flight, in the air, as well as on the ground, has been approved by the army air service and soon will be extended over the entire continent.

Geissinger, pastor of the White Temple, gave an address on the prophet Amos, an abstract of which was published on the daily paper. A layman, reading the abstract and being impressed by it, requested that he be permitted to publish the address in full. Dr. Geissinger gave his consent and large edition in booklet form was issued. Recently, considerable literature has grown up on the "Prophecies of Amos," as he was epochal man in the development of religion, and Dr. Geissinger has been going over that literature and will give another address on Amos Sunday evening at the White Temple. Each person attending this service will be presented with a copy of the original booklet. Miss Luu Goble of Los Angeles will be the week-end guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. Goble.

TODAY Man Held For Murder Of Kennedy Smiles As Lawyers Prepare To Start Long Court Battle. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.—Testimony from human lips will not constitute the most important defense evidence in the trial of Arthur C. Burch, alleged slayer of John Belton Kennedy, it was learned from Defense Attorney Richard Kitrelle today. An Airdale dog belonging to Henry Lieser, a neighbor of Kennedy's in Beverly Glen, may be the means of acquitting Burch. This dog, barking wildly on the fatal night, warned his master of the presence of others in the Glen. Lieser, who heard the shots and was the first person to reach Kennedy's body, said the murderer evidently took to the hills; because the dog ran that way and did not return for some time. Lieser ran into the road, but saw no one leave the Glen he said. FORFEITS BAIL Two cases of drunkenness were handled in Judge Howard's court this morning.

COAST OFFICALS FEAR SEA EAGLE TUG IS WRECKED PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 25.—The Red Stack tug Sea Eagle, with a crew of 12 men, has foundered off Peaceock Spit, Captain Wicklund of the Port Adams life saving station, told the United Press over long distance telephone today. A patrol from the station late yesterday found a portion of the tug's pilot house, indicating the vessel with its crew had met disaster in the gale which raged until late last night along the coast of northern Oregon. ASTORIA, Ore., Nov. 25.—Harbor and coast guard officials today expressed fear that the Red Stack tug Sea Eagle, San Francisco, had gone down in the recent gale off the coast of northern Oregon. Cabin wreckage marked "Sea Eagle" has been found on Sunset Beach, ten miles south of here, tossed there by the gale yesterday. The Sea Eagle was known to have been in this vicinity, sent to tow the four masted schooner Eccla, Honolulu to Coos Bay, into the harbor at Coos Bay. Captain Wicklund, of the Port Adams life saving station, is of the opinion that the Sea Eagle is either partially or totally wrecked. Yesterday he made out a four masted schooner standing away to sea, probably the Eccla. She was not in tow, and it is thought that the Sea Eagle cut her loose in the gale and perished herself. According to advises from Coos Bay, the Sea Eagle had the schooner in tow Tuesday, but was unable to make the harbor because of rough weather. Attorney Richard Kitrelle today. An Airdale dog belonging to Henry Lieser, a neighbor of Kennedy's in Beverly Glen, may be the means of acquitting Burch. This dog, barking wildly on the fatal night, warned his master of the presence of others in the Glen. Lieser heard the shots and was the first person to reach Kennedy's body, said the murderer evidently took to the hills; because the dog ran that way and did not return for some time. Lieser ran into the road, but saw no one leave the Glen, he said. The prosecution will attempt to show that Burch, after committing the crime, leaped into a waiting automobile in the Glen and fled into the night. Poses for Photograph LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.—Another invasion of movie cameramen was under way at Los Angeles county court house early today, with the reopening of the murder trial of Arthur C. Burch, minister's son and Northwestern university graduate. Cameras tripods and equipment of all descriptions were being marshaled in the corridors awaiting the opening of the big doors to Superior Judge Reeve's court room. The movie men are in their element. With signed court permits in their pockets and the verbal acquiescence of the principals in the famous "midnight murder" case, they have been shooting film to their hearts' content in the early stages of the trial. Light Drama Registered It would seem that the U. S. A. is to be treated to other than word pictures of the west's most sensational murder mystery, as it unfolds scene by scene. The cameras have registered light drama thus far. There is no suggestion of the extreme penalty which the prosecution demands Burch must face if he is found guilty. The energetic little man whom the state alleges shot John Belton Kennedy to death in a carefully-laid ambush at lonely Beverly Glen seems to thoroughly enjoy the cinematic atmosphere of the court room. Attorneys In Cast Smiling and with ready wit, he follows the suggestions of the camera-men as though they were directors and he a star. When he is through with his "stunt," he mingles with the rest of the cast—his attorneys, reporters and his father—or strolls out in the hall unescorted for a drink of water. The tentative jury, mostly stolid-looking women, look into the camera with their best jury faces. Court Room Crowded The "extras," without whom no motion picture company ever worked, are legion in the court room. Many are real picture people—girls with plenty of make-up and men with little mustaches—who have been drawn to the trial because of interest in the characters themselves or in the dramatic possibilities of the mystery.

EDDIE HEARNE BREAKS WORLD RECORD IN AUTO RACES LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.—Eddie Hearne, racing driver, today holds a new world record for the 250-mile grind. Nosing out a field of America's best pilots, Hearne brought his Duesenberg in at the head of the string on the last lap at Beverly Bowl yesterday before 60,000 speed fans and set up a mark of 2:16.53 for 250 miles. His average was 109.7 miles an hour. Frank Elliott brought his Los Angles-built Leach Special in second, while Jimmy Murphy and his Duesenberg were third. Dies of Fright When His Auto Hits Pole SAN DIEGO, Nov. 25.—Franz Roth, music teacher, died of fright here yesterday, according to police theory, when the auto he was driving crashed into a telephone pole. No marks were found on the dead man's body and the police think a stroke of apoplexy followed the collision and caused his death. Girl Prisoners Given Holiday Treat in Jail LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.—Fifty-one women and girl prisoners in the city jail yesterday were treated to a turkey dinner, cooked in the jail kitchen by Jack Roach, a "trusty" and an adopt in the culinary art. The dinner was the result of efforts in the prisoners' behalf by Chief Jailer Shand and Matrons Feely and Robinson. Court Room Crowded The "extras," without whom no motion picture company ever worked, are legion in the court room. Many are real picture people—girls with plenty of make-up and men with little mustaches—who have been drawn to the trial because of interest in the characters themselves or in the dramatic possibilities of the mystery murder case. This atmosphere of a play trial is expected to be electrified today into a thrilling battle for a man's life when the first witness takes the stand. With the fight on in earnest, the cameramen will be ruled out and the "set" will swiftly change from that of a motion picture studio to a dim-lited, grim court room where a man is making a real fight to escape the gallows on a charge of murder in the first degree. WOMAN IS FOUND BEATEN TO DEATH SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.—Mrs. Dora M. Hanley, 34, was found beaten to death in a room in her home yesterday, while her husband, Joseph Honley, was found in an adjoining room, apparently intoxicated. He was held for questioning by the police. A fifty-gallon still and a tub of mash were found on the back porch and the police believe that the death of the woman had some connection with an alleged scheme to manufacture and sell intoxicating liquor illegally. Three men roomers whose names have been obtained by the police were seen leaving the house hurriedly. They are being sought.
