Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuhel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter RATIFICATION UP TO THE PRESIDENT Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee has made an important statement respecting the situation in the national senate in regard to the pending peace treaty including the League of Nations covenant. That situation has been rather confused and the President on his tour apparently has made no effort to clear it up. "The treaty," Hays asserts, "will be ratified and without a single textual amendment, but in the case of the League covenant 'ratification will be accompanied by reservations absolutely safeguarding the full independence and freedom of action of this Republic.' "The four reservations which the foreignrelations committee has proposed constitute the irreducible minimum of a substantial majority of senators. All the President has to do now if he wishes to put an end to the futile talk and recriminations of which he complains is to accept that irreducible minimum. He can even set a date for WASHINGTON BRIEFSEssues from Our Special Correspondent at the Nation's Capital. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—In reporting the Peace Treaty to the Senate with reservations permitting the United States to withdraw at any time from the League of Nations, reserving to Congress the right to declare war under Article X, retaining inviolate America's sovereignty over internal affairs, and declaring the Monroe Doctrine entirely unaffected by the League of Nations, Republican members of the Foreign Relations Committee believe that they have put squarely before the public the issue of Americanism versus internationalism, and that they will have little difficulty in gaining the support of the country upon such an issue. Senator George W. Moses, of New Hampshire, a member of the Committee, has expressed the issue as follows: "The Committee on Foreign Relations has aligned itself on the side of America. After the fullest consideration of all the questions involved in the peace document, and particularly the League covenant, we have reported it to the Senate with such reservations as we feel assured will for all time, safeguard the United States from becoming unwillingly involved in foreign disputes, and will prevent other nations from assuming or claiming an influence over purely American affairs to which they would have no right, unless we should OF INTEREST Ford cars not compliments of the House reason that three governs the interest Accordingly, we traveling on them up to or near their headlights or illiant light, resulting serious glare, and legislative interglare and dazzle Motor Vehicle License see to it that alped with a lens vice that will cover regards glare devices, home-machine when equipped with power lamp and ed will eliminate If the speed of the requirement Law cannot be A and B (these the light when no of 200 feet direct shall not be less candle power), off at such speed meet the intention der sub-division Department rule the law has been of Section 13 p. two tons carry which are so good constructed or cannot exceed a accompanied by reservations absolutely safeguarding the full independence and freedom of action of this Republic. "The four reservations which the foreignrelations committee has proposed constitute the irreducible minimum of a substantial majority of senators. All the President has to do now if he wishes to put an end to the futile talk and recriminations of which he complains is to accept that irreducible minimum. He can even set a date for ratification of the treaty if he is anxious to avoid further delay and give the world the peace for which it longs. True, the President pronounces the proposed reservations gratuitous and superfluous. He has said explicitly, however, that personally he has no objection to them and that the allied governments already understand the covenant precisely in the sense the reservations seek to give it. "Now, men as enlightened and progressive as the opponents of the covenant as it stands insist that the reservations are not superfluous but are necessary in order to prevent future misunderstandings, controversies and charges of bad faith. They claim no monopoly of patriotism or Americanism but they have very strong views and have a right to adhere to them. They virtually say to the President: Acquiesce in the few reservations which we deem essential and which you admit to be intrinsically proper and the fight is over. There will be peace; there will be a treaty with Germany; there will be a League of Nations with America a potent moral force in that league as you desire. Why do you continue to fight a few negligible irreconcilables when the majority of the senate is ready to act favorably at once. "The President thus far has given no good reason for demanding unqualified ratification of the treaty. If he has one, Chairman Hays' challenge should result in his producing that reason. Unless he does responsibility for further delays and irrelevant talk will not be laid by the American public at the door of the Senate majority." PRESIDENT WILSON PASSING Tomorrow afternoon President Wilson's special train will go through Ana- The professed view in Administration circles that only Irish of the agitator type are opposed to the present form of the league of nations is sharply disputed by P. T. Moran, widely known in Washington and prominent in the movement for Irish freedom. "I think I can assert without fear of contradiction that 90 per cent of the American people of Irish blood are strongly opposed to the league in its present form," said Mr. Moran. That the War Department has maintained, at Camp Holabird, Maryland, a veritable "bone yard" for thousands of practically new army trucks, automobiles and ambulances, which were constantly increased by new mach- PRESIDENT WILSON PASSING Tomorrow afternoon President Wilson's special train will go through Anaheim on the Santa Fe. The president speaks at the Southern city in the evening, and on Saturday morning he will again pass through here en route to Los Angeles, where he speaks at the Shrine Auditorium Saturday evening. He will remain over Sunday at Los Angeles, leaving Monday on his return trip to the east. It is not yet known whether the train will make stops at towns between Los Angeles and San Diego, but it will probably pass through Anuahelm about the middle of the afternoon. Senator Johnson, who is following in the president's wake, will probably be in this section a week later. Johnson is being given one of the greatest ovations on his trip ever accorded an American speaker. This year's rice acreage in the valley is 140,000, with an estimated yield of 35 sacks to the acre. So rapidly is the industry developing that rice mills located in Sacramento are to spend $250,000 for extensinos during the next six months. General Ansell says Secretary Baker fought clemency. That was for real soldiers, however, not conscientious slackers. "I think I can assert without fear of contradiction that 90 per cent of the American people of Irish blood are strongly opposed to the league in its present form," said Mr. Moran. That the War Department has maintained, at Camp Holabird, Maryland, a veritable "bone yard" for thousands of practically new army trucks, automobiles and ambulances, which were constantly increased by new machines delivered at intervals since the signing of the armistice, and which were permitted to remain exposed to the elements for more than six months without an attempt being made to sell them, has been developed in the hearings before the war investigation subcommittee of which Representative Reavis, of Nebraska, is chairman. Officials of the War Department, who were called before the committee, testified that 2,588 motor trucks, 360 ambulances, and a large number of pleasure automobiles owned by the War Department were accumulated at Camp Holabird in February, presumably for the purpose of selling them to the public. The officers in charge of this great fleet of motor vehicles put them in condition for sale during that month, and notified the War Department to that effect. "These machines were arranged out-of-doors in February," said Major R. C. V. Evans, "and they have remained exactly as arranged, ever since that time." The maximum price for picking walnuts this year as fixed by the Anaheim Walnut Association, is 90 cents per sack. Pickers must clean up the orchard to the satisfaction of the owner.

Fourth, the sible for any movement on the pa-health work." OF INTEREST TO FORD OWNERS Ford cars not equipped with batteries cannot comply with all the requirements of the Headlight Law for the reason that the speed of the engine governs the intensity of the light. Accordingly, when Ford, cars are traveling on the highways at a speed up to or near the maximum permissible headlights emit an intensely brilliant light, resulting in a highly dangerous glare, and inasmuch as the legislative intent is to eliminate the glare and dazzle the first task of the Motor Vehicle Department will be to see to it that all Ford cars are equipped with a lens or some modifying device that will comply with the law as regards glare. Any of the approved devices, home-made or manufactured, when equipped with the proper candle-power lamp and when properly adjusted will eliminate glare. If the speed of the car is such that the requirements of the Headlight Law cannot be complied with at points A and B (these requirements are that the light when measured at a distance of 200 feet directly in front of the car shall not be less than 1200 apparent candle power), but if the light given off at such speed will be sufficient to meet the intent of the Legislature under sub-division D of Section 13, the Department rules that the intent of the law has been met. Sub-division D of Section 13 provides that trucks of two tons carrying capacity or over, which are so governed or mechanically constructed or controlled that they cannot exceed a speed of fifteen miles or ecclesiastical exploitation of the public school children of California. MOVEMENT STARTED TO PRESERVE THE MISSIONS Auto Club Wants to Save These Monuments Left by the Padres. To mend the melting missions and to preserve them for future generations of eastern visitors who are going to take advantage of Southern California's highway system has become an aim and object of the Automobile Club of Southern California, according to an announcement made by officials of that organization. That with the winter rains the adobe of which the missions were built, melts and trickles down to the plain from which it sprung is pointed out by these behind a state-wide movement for the preservation of California's cathedral-in-the-sun, and unless something is done at once another winter will work havoc with the architectural patriarchs. It is the motorists of the state, and those visiting here, who derive the keenest sense of satisfaction from the existence of the missions, marking as they do the different stages of a tour along the famous coast roads, say Automobile Club officials, and for that reason the club is looking to the motorists for the strongest support in a projected movement to secure funds for the preservation work. How can funds be secured to rebuild and save the melting ruins? is the question now being considered through- in particularly have relied such need will.

Yours truly. P. J. TEHANEY, Supt. RED CROSS NURSES CANNOT WORK IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS State Superintendent Says Private Organizations of Every Kind Are Barred. That the public schools of California cannot be used by private organizations to teach or practice upon the children is the ruling of Superintendent of Public Instruction Will C. Wood in an opinion given the Public School Protective League. The decision was made in connection with the proposal of the board of school trustees of Coronado to give the Red Cross space in the public schools there, where the Red Cross Community nurse might carry on the physical examination and supervision of school children, including their medical treatment. "Parents send their children to school to be educated," says Mr. Wood, and he adds, "if the school authorities permit any individual to give medical treatment to the children while they are in school, the trustees are responsible for any consequences. I am of the opinion that no one except an employee of the school, duly qualified, can conduct the physical examination of the school children, and that all such work must be done by authority of and under the direction of the Board of Trustees; that no other organization keenest sense or satisfaction from the existence of the missions, marking as they do the different stages of a tour along the famous coast roads, say Automobile Club officials, and for that reason the club is looking to the motorists for the strongest support in a projected movement to secure funds for the preservation work. How can funds be secured to rebuild and save the melting ruins? is the question now being considered throughout the state. "This same question has arisen year after year, with no result," pointed out Secretary Mitchell, "and now the time has come when something definite must be decided." "In the past, the Automobile Club has found that when a vital issue has been left to the automobile owners of California, swift action has resulted. Unless some other suggestions are forthcoming soon it looks as though the saving of the missions will become an auto issue. "Through the club's touring bureaus we are made aware that a large majority of the eastern motor car owners coming to the coast are more interested in finding tours which will lead them to the missions than to any other landmark of the state. The cathedrals of Europe were not more popular. The missions of California are an asset which the state is throwing away and some means must soon be evolved for preserving this asset." San Diego is at work now, as a municipality, in rebuilding and saving, architecturally, the old mission located in Mission Valley which was the first to be erected in California and the ruins of which have long been a mecca of motorists. But the San Diego mission as it stands is little more than a amount of molten adobe, melting in the rain. San Juan Capistrano, the most splendid mission of them all, and Southern California's own, is the saddest ruin on the coast. Motorists passing through the town of Capistrano throw the old pile a pitying glance and hurry on—not a cent for tribute nor a thought for its saving. This, according to the Automobile Club officers, is what that organization wishes to overcome. It is not a question of creed any more, this saving of the most picturesque arches in the world, says the The trouble on the telephone lines developed between 9 and 10 o'clock. Stockton tore the wires from the telephone at his home and then got into his car and drove a quarter of a mile to the home of his brother-in-law to warn the family. Blaylock was in bed. Stockton found the instrument at the Blaylock home on fire and broke the connection. He talked to Blaylock and members of the family for ten or fifteen minutes and then started to return home. Stepping outside he noticed the telephone wire against the outside of the residence. Blaylock, in his night clothes, followed him to the door. Siezes Live Wire "I guess I had better pull the wire loose from the building," said Stockton to Blaylock. He stepped up to the house to pull the wire and the Instant he touched it he uttered a scream and dropped to the ground. Blaylock went to his assistance and succeeded in pulling him loose from the gripping wire. Blaylock received a slight shock. Stockton made the mistake of taking hold of the wire while standing on ground that was damp. In pulling the wires from the phone at his home and at the home of his brother-in-law, he had stood on dry linoleum and did not sustain shocks. It is miraculous that Blaylock was not killed when he took hold of Stockton to pull him loose from the wire. Had he been killed the chances are that other members of the family would have attempted rescue and each might have been killed as the attempt was made. A signal honor in Elkdom has been conferred upon Santa Ana lodge in the appointment of Joe C. Burke, past exalted ruler of the lodge, as district deputy for California, South, by Frank L.

I am of the opinion that no one except an employee of the school, duly qualified, can conduct the physical examination of the school children, and that all such work must be done by authority of and under the direction of the Board of Trustees; that no other organization has any right whatever to operate in the public schools." "It would be dangerous for any public official to hold otherwise. If uncertified persons operating under one private organization can treat pupils of the public schools any organization can claim the same right. Within a short time we would have chiropodists, drugless healers, faith healers, and many other professions and organizations using the public schools in this manner. To sum up, I wish to emphasize the following things: "First, health inspection can be carried on only by authority of and under the direction of the Board of Trustees or Board of Education; Second, actual inspection can be done only by people who are certified according to law; Third, the law does not give the school board power to force parents to have pupils treated; that is a matter for the parents to determine; Fourth, the school board is responsible for any malpractice or mistreatment on the part of its employees doing health work."

This, according to the Automobile Club officers, is what that organization wishes to overcome. It is not a question of creed any more, this saving of the most picturesque arches in the world, says the Auto Club, but a matter of pride. A few of the missions are holding their own, such as Santa Barbara and San Gabriel, but others; because of a lack of money, are going fast to seed. Now the Automobile Club is open to suggestions as to how visiting and local motorists can help in raising a fund for mission preservation, announces the secretary. It is not a matter for any one locality, but for every portion of the state, since the missions are magnets which attract travel from all over America. SMELZER MAN KILED BY ELECTRIC SHOCK Broken Edison Wire Plays Havoc with Telephone System. J. T. Stockton was electrocuted Sunday night at the home of his brother-in-law, W. W. Blaylock, at Smelzer. Blaylock sustained an electric shock, the lives of the members of his family were jeopardized and a dozen or fifteen homes in the vicinity of Smeltzer were threatened with fire by an Edison company lead wire carrying 10,000 volts, falling across two of the distributing lines of the Smeltzer Telephone Exchange. Stockton was 57 years of age. He leaves a wife, three daughters and two sons. A signal honor in Elkdom has been conferred upon Santa Ana lodge in the appointment of Joe C. Burke, past exalted ruler of the lodge, as district deputy for California, South, by Frank L. Rain, grand oxalted ruler of the B. P. O. E. of America. By this appointment, Burke becomes the representative of the grand exalted ruler for the seventeen Elks lodges in California from Santa Barbara south. His duties will be to convey to the lodges the instructions promulgated by the grand exalted ruler. Rain's home is at Fairbury, Neb. Burke, an attorney and former assemblyman, has always been devoted to the work of the lodge, and he has been closely connected with its activities. Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Crespin are rejoicing over the return of another son from the war. Manuel, Jr., who has been in the army two years, was discharged Friday and reached home Sunday morning. He was in the 364th Infantry at first, but was transferred to Troop M, 11th Cavalry, and sent to the Mexican border where he has been helping protect our territory from Mexican raiders. Recently he participated in one of the expeditions into Mexican territory after bandits. Three of the Crespin boys are now at home, but Ysidro is still in the navy. Emery E.
