Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter THE PRESIDENT'S ILLNESS In a letter to a friend in Manchester, N. H., Senator Moses wrote of the condition of President Wilson as follows: "The President is a very sick man. He suffered some kind of a cerebral lesion, either during his speech at Pueblo or immediately thereafter, and one of the readily discernable results is a slight facial paralysis. "His condition is such that while this lesion is healing he is absolutely unable to undergo any experience which requires concentration of mind with the consequent suffusion of blood in the brain, the pressure of which would be likely to reopen this lesion, or to cause new ones with a probable fatal result. "Of course, he may get well—that is, he may live, but if he does he will not be any material force or factor in anything. "One of the interesting rumors here is that Col. House is coming home to try to impress upon the President that he should abdicate for a few months and call Marshall to be acting President." Mr. Johnson revealed German and Austrian conditions during a hearing before the committee on legislation to deport all aliens who renounced their first citizenship papers to escape military service, and all foreigners who were convicted under the Espionage Act. "That large numbers of Germans desire to emigrate as soon as peace is concluded to escape the heavy burdens upon Germany by the peace treaty. Taxes must be high there for many years and the people naturally believe greater opportunities await them elsewhere. "An official estimate of those desiring to emigrate from Germany places the number at 10,000,000. Most of these desire to come to the United States, or South American countries, preferably Argentine, Chile and Peru. I do not believe the United States desires this large influx of Germans and Austrians. Other countries have already taken action to prevent it. Sweden has passed a law restricting immigration and Argentine has done likewise. "Official advices describe the situation in Austria as being even worse. One report says the prospect for a speedy readjustment there is 'very hopeless.' Hundreds of thousands are unable to obtain work and naturally are very desirous of emigrating. The situation in Vienna is particularly bad. Two million of the Six million people of Austria, as it was cut down by the treaty, are now in Vienna, and the consequence is that there is far from being enough employment for them. Reports say the Austrians are particularly desirous of coming to the United States."

One of the interesting rumors here is that Col. House is coming home to try to impress upon the President that he should abdicate for a few months and call Marshall to be acting President. Physicians here describe the cerebral lesion, when followed by paralysis, as a shock, or rupture, of the cerebral arteries. It might take the form of apoplexy and is sometimes called cerebral hemorrhage." ROOSEVELT DAY Monday, October 27, the birthday anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt, is designated as "Americanization Day" in a proclamation issued by Governor Stephens and made public in Southern California by Marshall Stimson, chairman in this division of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. Following is the proclamation: "In honor om the memory of Theodore Roosevelt and in appreciation of his great services to our country, I hereby designate Monday, October 27, his birthday anniversary, as Americanization Day, and suggest that in our schools and among our people there be fitting observance. "The Roosevelt Memorial Association will, on October 20 begin a campaign to raise funds to establish memorials in honor of the man who contributed so greatly in inspiration of our citizenship with best ideals. "Whatever difference there may have been with the political views of Theodore Roosevelt, there is common acceptance of his great spirit of Americanism and it is this influence we must carry on to inspire our people with worthy citizenship and true patriotism. WILLIAM D. STEPHENS, Governor." UNITED STATES MUST BAR EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS Austrian and German Wave of Humanity Ready to Engulf America. being enough employment for them. Reports say the Austrians are particularly desirous of coming to the United States." Mr. Johnson revealed German and Austrian conditions during a hearing before the committee on legislation to deport all aliens who renounced their first citizenship papers to escape military service, and all foreigners who were convicted under the Espionage Act. This was strongly advocated by Representative Lufkin of Massachusetts, and former Congressman Thomas W. Miller, of Delaware, now chairman of the legislative committee of the American Legion. The legislation was unanimously approved by the legion. Mr. Miller said: "These aliens are certainly undesirable, for they remained at home and got large wages while American young men went to the trenches. The day of reckoning has come and we ought to send every man who declared his first intention of becoming a citizen and then chose the ranks of the slackers back to his native land." DEVELOP INDUSTRY AT INSANE ASYLUM Superintendent Thinks Patten May Become Self-Supporting. The Patton insane hospital will shortly undertake a huge experiment in the way of industrial activity for the patients, according to word received from San Bernardino. It is believed that the big hospital can be made practically an independent community, with its people filling useful places in life, despite their afflictions. Dr John Riley, medical superintendent at Patton, has been directed by the board of managers and the state board of control to proceed with his revolutionary experiments and has left for the East to confer with the nation's leading alienists and reconstruction workers. "Too long," said Dr. Riley, in his report to the board of managers, "have we regarded the institution as a helpless thing of brick and mortar, depending wholly upon others for all it has At the suggestion district Attorney F. then raised the bagg search was begun; the Sheriff's officeance of the Burns had been retained though Fox's bail declared forfeited being the outcome of The arrest at Heil by Burns detectives Mason, who telegram office in Los Angeles and was taking his county seat.

RESTORING YOUR OFFICE French Scientist ha UNITED STATES MUST BAR EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS Austrian and German Wave of Humanity Ready to Engulf America. Millions of Germans and Austrians war impoverished and tax-ridden, are waiting for peace to emigrate to the United States and to other more fortunate countries, according to information gathered by the State Department and given Chairman Johnson of the House Immigration Committee. "If no restrictions are placed on immigration, most of the 10,000,000 or more possible immigrants will come to the United States and some will go to Canada," said Representative Johnson. He said that Secretary Lansing favored the immediate enactment of laws keeping this vast tide of restless humans out of the United States. The Secretary would have the law read also to shut out the thousands of radicals congregated in other parts of the world awaiting transportation to the United States. The conditions in Germany and Austria were revealed by Mr. Johnson to the House Immigration Committee who read excerpts from official reports to the State Department by American diplomatic representatives abroad. Some of the informtalon was considered confidential and Mr. Johnson declined to make public the complete report. "It is officially reported," he said, "Too long," said Dr. Riley, in his report to the board of managers, "have we regarded the institution as a help-less thing of brick and mortar, depending wholly upon others for all it has or needs. This shop-worn idea of a hospital for insane has become a thing of the past. "In its place is developing the idea of a community of human spirit—an independent unit or unity made up of individuals of like character, dependent upon themselves very largely for what they need, living a life of comparative freedom and removed from the complexities and stress of the civil communities, where they found themselves unable to adjust themselves to their environment. The board of managers, which includes H. McPhee of Santa Paula, chairman; G. D. Cunningham of Riverside; E. C. Merryfield of Colton; W. C. Barth of Corona; Austin T Park of Redlands, has followed closely the gradual extension of industrial activities by the patients. During the past few months work of manufacturing brooms, brushes, weaving cloth and the making of various articles has been inaugurated. Many of the women patients have embroidered for years. Dr. J. P. Brasted has traded a ranch west of town for a 10-acre Valencia orchard at the corner of North and East streets. He will shortly build a residence on the new property." GEORGE FOX, SWINDLER, AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT Man Who Defrauded Mrs. Walters Jumped His Bond. George A Fox, the real estate operator who jumped into the national limelight when from his cell in the County Jail he paid the delinquent Riverside county taxes of President Wilson, was captured yesterday at Healdsburg, Sonoma county, and taken to the jail at Santa Rosa, charged with being a fugitive from Justice. He will be brought at once to Los Angeles and put in the County Jail until finally taken to San Quentin Prison to begin serving his sentence of from one to ten years, imposed last February 19 by Judge Craig following Fox's conviction on the charge of having swindled Mrs. Anna G. Walters of Anaheim out of a $75,000 orange grove in Orange county and of having embezzled from her $5106.25 in cash. Fox appealed the case and was released under $20,000 bail pending the outcome. On October 1 Division No 1 of the District Court of Appeals handed down a decision upholding the verdict, but Fox was missing. At the suggestion of Deputy District Attorney Fricke, Judge Taft then raised the bail to $30,000, and search was begun for Fox through the Sheriff's office, with the assistance of the Burns detectives, who had been retained by the bondsmen, though Fox's bail bond was never declared forfeited by the county pending the outcome of the search. The arrest at Healdsburg was made by Burke detective and City Magellan. Object, Dr. Voronoff was accorded more time for his paper than was ever given before in the history of the institution and at the end of his lecture he was besieged by a company of savants crying for more information. The experiments he detailed, covering a course of three years, involve the grafting of an intestinal gland of a young male monkey into an old man in whom the gland had become atrophied. The result seemingly was a marvelous restoration of youth, even the man's carriage and demeanor changing, according to the doctor. Old animals upon which the experiment was first tried appeared restored to youth. Dr. Voronoff conducted a series of experiments at the Rockefeller Institute in 1910. His subsequent experiments in this new field attracted great attention. In these he was assisted by his wife, who was Evelyn Bostwick of New York, who served as a nurse during the Boer war and in the Sudan, and also on the western front. Describing his experiments to The Times recently, Dr. Voronoff said that if the fine of investigation he has opened is persisted in it would have a considerable effect on the future of humanity in prolonging mental power and physical vigor of useful men. He said the laboratory experiments he made could be applied surgically with almost certain results. "Before applying this treatment to a human subject," he said, "I made experiments with 120 animals, including goats, sheep and bullocks. I transferred the intestinal gland of the young animal to an old deer one almost..." At the suggestion of Deputy District Attorney Fricke, Judge Taft then raised the bail to $30,000, and search was begun for Fox through the Sheriff's office, with the assistance of the Burns detectives, who had been retained by the bondsmen, though Fox's bail bond was never declared forfeited by the county pending the outcome of the search. The arrest at Healdsburg was made by Burns detectives and City Marshall Mason, who telegraphed the Sheriff's office in Los Angeles that he had Fox and was taking him to the near-by county seat. Fox will be kept in the County Jail there until the actual order is received from the Court of Appeals by the Superior Court, and then the order committing Fox to prison will be issued, unless he decides to appeal to the State Supreme Court. Attorney John L. Richardson, counsel for Fox, said last night that he could not say whether or not a further appeal will be taken. The testimony at the trial of Fox last summer showed he met Mrs. Walters at Seal Beach in 1916, and that he won his way into her confidence to the extent that she promised to marry him, though Fox already had a wife and daughter at Portland, Ore., and she also turned over her entire estate to Mr. Fox. It was while Fox was in jail, before he was released on bail, that, hearing that President Wilson had overlooked paying the taxes on some land he owned in Riverside county, Fox sent his check to Riverside for the taxes, and received a nice letter from Secretary Tumulty thanking him for preventing the land being sold and saying that a check would be sent to Fox at once from the White House. In the meantime the highly mortified Riverside Democratic Campaign Committee, learning that Fox, from his cell, had rushed to the rescue of the President, who was then in Europe hurriedly had Fox's money returned to him and the taxes were paid through the President's office. RESTORING YOUTH TO MEN OF ADVANCED AGE French Scientist has Discovered Means considerable effect on the future of humanity in prolonging mental power and physical vigor of useful men. He said the laboratory experiments he made could be applied surgically with almost certain results. "Before applying this treatment to a human subject," he said, "I made experiments with 120 animals, including goats, sheep and bullocks. I transferred the intestinal gland of the young animal to an old, decrepit one almost on the verge of death, and out of all the 120 experiments I obtained the same number of positive results. "I was first led to make these experiments by observations in eastern countries, where the principle seems to have existed in a primitive way. Applying this principle in the light of latest discoveries in grafting surgery to these animals I found that in animals of an age corresponding to octogenarians among man, and which had been pronounced by veterinarians on the verge of senility, there was in two or three months a restoration of youthful powerful energy and that they went romping around like young animals. "The next step was to apply the same theory to man. This gland being vital to the male organism, it was naturally impossible to transfer from man to man. This led me to go to the nearest species of monkeys which has been used so successfully in thyroid experiments. "Taking an interstitial gland from a young and vigorous chimpanzee I grafted it onto a man 80 years old who was virtually in a state of decrepitude. After several months convalescence the patient showed a complete change. His shoulders became upright; he walked straighter and seemed to enjoy the physical and mental powers of a man only 30 years old. "I have continued these experiments with other men with results that were astounding. This gland appears to contain a chemical secretion like strychnine, and is a veritable reservoir of energy, which when placed in the old extends life." Dr. Voronoff was head of the surgical grafting division of the French army during the war and the marvelous results he obtained with French soldiers are today in evidence through... RESTORING YOUTH TO MEN OF ADVANCED AGE French Scientist has Discovered Means of Preventing Ravages of Time. Dr. Serge Voronoff, formerly connected with the Rockefeller Institute and now head of the physiological laboratories of the College De France, whose experiments in grafting surgery have commanded great attention in the medical and scientific world, unfolded before the French congress of surgery Thursday the results of an amazing series of experiments designed to restore youth and youthful power to the aged. So sensational appeared to be the results that Dr. Voronoff received an ovation from his colleagues. Vistas of perpetual youth seemed in a sense to be opened by the latest developments of grafting, which made such strides during the war under men like Voronoff and Dr. Carrel, the latter being a close friend of Dr. Voronoff. Dr. Voronoff contends that he has restored youthful energies to a man of 80 years, giving him the vitality and robustness of a young man, the subject showing all signs of an intensified existence. The doctor declares he already has performed this operation on a number of high French personages. At the session Thursday, because of the engrossing interest in the sub- with other men with results that were astounding. This gland appears to contain a chemical secretion like strychnine, and is a veritable reservoir of energy, which when placed in the old extends life." Dr. Voronoff was head of the surgical grafting division of the French army during the war and the marvelous results he obtained with French soldiers are today in evidence through out France. ORANGE COUNTY EXHIBIT CAPTURES SECOND PRIZE Farm Bureau Made Good Showing at P Riverside Fair. With Orange county stepping into second place in the contest of county exhibits at the Riverside fair and two Santa Ana boys walking off with the high honors in bicycle races on Wednesday, the county has a conspicuous place at the big fair. The Orange county exhibit it in a sense under the auspices of the Orange County Farm Bureau, the bureau having backed the project and assisted in assembling it. H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor, and D. W. McDanald, county representative in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, worked overtime in installing the display and getting ready for the opening. It is a creditable display and was just two points poorer than the exhibit from San Bernardino county, in the opinion of the judges. San Bernardino had 92.8 points and Orange county 90.8. The award to Orange county carries a prize of $250. W. Dean Johnston, president of the county farm bureau, and J. A. Smiley INNOUNCEMENT!

The setting of the display is sumptuous—redwood, heavy brown burlap, deep green veour hangings, brass fixtures and jardinieres holding ferns and admirable lighting effects. For the display itself, it contains picked specimens of the fruits, grains and vegetables, as well as the mineral products for which Orange county is famous. There are also novelties like the Feijoa, a new fruit from Uruguay an dthe Chinese varnish nuts from which the socalled tong oil is extracted." An airship passed through town Sunday and paused for an hour while the men in charge ate lunch. It was a hydroplane belonging to the United States Navy—one of those contraptions built on the order of a duck, that is equally at home in the air or on the water. It was traveling on a couple of trucks and was accompanied by a number of sailors. The 1919 duck season opens today and many of the nimrods of this vinity are making preparations to try and secure some of the birds for a wild game dinner. According to the Motor Vehicle Law passed by the last legislature, road hunting is prohibited, which will give the "sportsmen" who have game preserves a great advantage over the fellow not so fortunate.
