Permits Over H 125 MEN LISTEN TO STIRRING TALKS AT INAUGURAL BANQUET Send Telegram of Felicitations and Pledge of Support to President Harding. One hundred and twenty-five men enjoyed an elaborate banquet and listened to some stirring addresses in the banquet hall of the Methodist White Temple last night under the auspices of the Men's Bible class. The delicious dinner was served by the Women's Bible class. K. T. Edmiston was toastmaster. The Men's Glee club sang the Soldiers' Chorus from Paust, My Old Kentucky Home and other favorites. Judge W. H. Thomas spoke for more than an hour on the problems next to be met and solved. He said the world had been on the wrecking gang for the last seven years and that it was now every man's duty to get on the construction gang. He had little sympathy for the theory that the world was getting worse, believing the Gospel of the Man of Galilee was meant to and would reemem the world. While he never voted for Wilson Anaheim Still Leading Other Orange-co Cities Still another week sees Anaheim leading all other Orange-co cities in total of building permits for the year to date. The Anaheim total for the last six business days is $37,750, making the total for the year to date $227,650. The one big item the last week was the $30,000 garage building for George Dunton. Santa Ana's total for the year to yesterday is $185,491, have been boosted the last six days by $42,-745, the biggest week's total this year at the county seat. Anaheim has been setting the building pace in Orange-co for more than three months. The total for the quarter beginning Dec. 1 and ending Feb. 28 being $521,430, or more than the total for all of 1919 which was $464,500. 600 Savings Deposits Made In Anaheim Today As the culmination of National Thrift week, more than 600 depositors, large numbers of them children, were added to the list of bank depositors in Anaheim today as a re- Glee club sang the Soldiers' Chorus from Paust, My Old Kentucky Home and other favorites. Judge W. H. Thomas spoke for more than an hour on the problems next to be met and solved. He said the world had been on the wrecking gang for the last seven years and that it was now every man's duty to get on the construction gang. He had little sympathy for the theory that the world was getting worse, believing the Gospel of the Man of Galilee was meant to and would reemember the world. While he never voted for Wilson because there were so many things on which he did not agree with him yet Wilson stood and fought for an ideal that would, if carried out, be a long step toward the ideal of the Master. The wonder is not that he had accomplished so little at the peace table but that in the face of the odds he was up against he had accomplished so much. He denounced not only the profitteers but also the man who soldiers on the job. He condemned the system that produced conditions in New York City where 200,000 children go to school without sufficient food to eat and pointed to the fact that one out of every seven babies born in this country die. His speech produced a profound impression on his auditors Dr. P. W. Collins spoke briefly on the John Brown college at Siloam Springs, Ark. Dr. J. A. Geissinger, in an address on "Enter Warren Harding," mentioned that he had been acquainted with the new executive in southern Ohio. He declared Harding was well balanced and had business sense and common sense. Harding was converted in a Free Methodist church but is a member of the Baptist denomination and is now paying the salary of a Baptist minister. Harding's selections for the cabinet shows he has a cooperative mind. He showed his bigness in selecting cover and his wisdom in selecting Hughes. The first thing to do is make peace with Germany and to limit armaments. On Dr. Geissinger's motion, the following telegram was sent to Harding: "We, 125 men, all Americans, assembled in Methodist White Temple at inaugural banquet of Men's Bible class of our church, with Judge W. H. Thomas our guest, send our congratulations and felicitations and pledge you our heartiest support in the work to which the people and we believe God has called you." Warren G. Mathis, president; N. R. Phillips, secretary; O. E. Steward, teacher; J. A. Geissinger, pastor.

The Anaheim National bank, the Golden State Bank and the Southern Counties bank, following successively. CHIROPRACTORS ASSN.

Big Death Toll In Earthquake Reported SHANGHAI, March 4. — Reports have just been received here which tell of renewed earthquakes in the Kansu and Shensu provinces of China, which have resulted in terrible losses of life and property. One rumor has it that a total of 650,000 persons have been killed. Presidential Facts Warren G. Harding, who takes office today as the twenty-ninth president of the United States, is the first president to be elected to that high office on his birthday. He was 55 years old November 2, 1920. He is the first U. S. senator elected to the presidency. President Harding is the seventh president contributed to the country by the state of Ohio. Only Virginia, with a total of eight presidents born within her borders, outranks Ohio in this regard. No president has been born west of Ohio. No president has resided west of Illinois. President Harding is the seventh president of Scotch-Irish paternal ancestry. Fifteen of our presidents, over the period of 133 years, have been of English descent, three of Scotch, one of Welsh and two of Dutch. The average age of our presidents at inauguration is 54 years, approximately while the approximate average at death has been 66 years. President Harding exemplifies the rapid rise possible in American life better than any of his predecessors. He was not included in the 1914-14 "Who's Who." Like many of his predecessors also, his parents were not wealthy and he has risen to the highest office within the gift of the American people through frugality, industry and thrift, of which he is a warm exponent, as evidenced by his recent approval of the Government's Thrift and Savings work, represented in the sales of Thrift, Treasury and War Savings Stamps and Treasury. EXAMINE SHELL SHOCK VICTIM Louis Fenwick, 30, overseas veteran, said to be suffering from shell shock, is being held at Santa Ana, awaiting examination as to his sanity. Fenwick, who is married and resides at 141 South Harwood-st., Orange, was taken into custody at his home. He was lodged in the Orange jail on an insanity charge and was removed to the county jail by county officers. Fenwick is alleged to have been acting queerly two or three weeks and last night is said to have become angry at Maude Charles, his sister-in-law, when she pleaded with him to find employment. He is alleged to have slapped her. P. O. Bandit Suspects Pass Thru Santa Ana C. E. Jackson, sheriff, sent a report to the Los Angeles county sheriff's office this morning, that three men in a closed Dodge car, who answered the description of the post-office robbery in Los Angeles, and appeared very nervous, stopped at 3 o'clock this morning at the service station at Second and Main-site, Santa Ana, and inquired the way to San Diego. Sheriff Jackson said that probably they were not the robbers but no clue should be overlooked. SALVATIONISTS TO RALLY Mrs. C. B. Smith, adjutant, and Miss Augusta Turner, ensign, Santa Ana officers of the Salvation Army, are to go to San Francisco to take part in a week's evangelistic campaign to be led by General Bramwell Booth, eldest son of the founder of the Salvation Army and the present commander of this militant religious organization in sixty-seven countries and colonies of the world. REPORTED CHAPMAN HOME WELL TO BE ARANDONED The Union's Chapman Home well in the west edge of Placentia has met with considerable trouble of late and is now shut down.

SHERIFF LOS ANGELES, March 4. — William L. Traeger, clerk of the State Supreme court of California, was today officially named sheriff of Los Angeles-co. Job and Commercial Printing at The Plain Dealer Office Big Death Toll In Earthquake Reported SHANGHAI, March 4.—Reports have just been received here which hall of renewed earthquakes in the Kansu and Shensu provinces of China, which have resulted in terrible losses of life and property.

LAST BATTLE UPON KING TAX MEASURE SACRAMENTO, March 4.—The last attempt to put the King tax bill over in the assembly will be made today. At noon Floor Leader Jack Pettifol will bring it up for reconsideration granted him by a vote of 55 to 12, yesterday, and the battle will be on. Both sides expressed confidence, but it was evident that the opposition to the bill was far better organized than the administration forces. It was conceded that there was no hope of swinging the one vote necessary to pass the bill from the southern side of the house, and the chief hope was in the north. New Indemnity Offer Rushed by Germans LONDON, March 4.—After a long night session, German reparations delegates again attacked their problem today, rushing the completion of new counter proposals for the allies to be submitted Monday noon. The air of the Germans was distinctly optimistic. Although cast down by the fury of Premier Lloyd George's speech in which they were charged with full guilt for the war and with the practice of atrocities, the delegates were hopeful. Privately it was stated they had anticipated heavier penalties than the allies named for failure to meet the reparations demands. Also they interpreted the entente as inviting further conversations. Because of this they believed they will not have to offer the entire sum they are capable of paying. LARGE BUNCH OF ORANGES Elmer C. Owens has hung a templeting decoration by the counter at the Hotel Valencia in the form of a large bunch of oranges, including branch and all, which were presented him by Mrs. Anderson, daughter of Mrs. Zelgler of the Hotel Valencia, who got the branch from hen husband's orchard. They were so heavy that Mr. Owens could hardly carry them from the car to their present place of adornment. This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NAUGURATED Executive Is Against All Alliances for War WASHINGTON, March 4.—A solemn warning that America stands ready to resist any attempted reversion of civilization was sounded by President Warren G. Harding in his inaugural address today. America he said, seeks no part in directing the destinies of the old world, but she is ready to enter an association of nations for conference and counsel which will not impair the sovereignty of the United States. He declared flatly against permanent military alliances. "Our eyes will never be blinded to a developing menace, our ears never deaf to the call of civilization," he said. "There was no American failure to resist the attempted reversion of civilization; there will be no failure today or tomorrow," Harding added later. "We shall give no people just cause to make war upon us," he said at another point. "We hold no national prejudices, we entertain no spirit of revenge, we do not hate, we do not covet, we dream of no conquest nor boast of armed prowess. If, despite this attitude, war is forced upon us I earnestly hope a way may be found which will unify our individual and collective strength and consecrate all America materially and spiritually, body and soul, to national defense." "I can vision the ideal republic, where every man and woman is called under the flag for assignment." U.S. CHIEF TAKES OFFICE AS CROWDS PACK WASHINGTON Wilson Appears Feeble and Worn As He Participates in Ceremonies. WASHINGTON, March 4.—Warren G. Harding took the oath of office that made him the highest ranking American today. At the same time Calvin Coolidge became vice president, succeeding Thomas R. Marshall. Woodrow Wilson, who for the last eight years has been President, appeared feeble and worn as he participated in the inaugural ceremonies. He retires from office today and will take up the practice of international law. The national capital was crowded with visitors, though much of the pomp which usually marks the induction of a President was absent, owing to the desire of Mr. Harding to reduce the cost and conserve the people's money. Inauguration day — the day on which Ohio sent the seventh of her sons into the White House—a dawn-clear and cold this morning. The temperature was not far from freezing and there was a stiff breeze whipping the flags that decorated Pennsylvania avenue and the "We hold no national prejudices, we entertain no spirit of revenge, we do not hate, we do not covet, we dream of no conquest nor boast of armed prowess. If, despite this attitude, war is forced upon us I earnestly hope a way may be found which will unify our individual and collective strength and consecrate all America materially and spiritually, body and soul, to national defense. "I can vision the ideal republic, where every man and woman is called under the flag for assignment to duty for whatever service, military or civic, the individual is best fitted; where we may call to universal service every plant, agency or facility, all in the sublime sacrifice for country and not one penny of war profits shall inure to the benefit of a private individual, corporation or combination, but all above the normal shall flow into the defense chest of the nation." The League of Nations was not mentioned but "schemes of super-government" were unsparingly denounced. LOCAL HENS SHARE HONORS AS LAYERS Not that Anaheim folks are jealous at all, but when they can share honors they are perfectly willing to do so. Yesterday's announcement of the faithful work of the blddies in Mrs. C. A. Williams' chicken yard at the Santa Fe Lease, Fullerton, R. F. D. No. 1, caused Mrs. Wm. Chambers. 317 Emily-st, to think her White Wyandotte had not been lazy. She owns 15 hens and gathered 235 eggs in the 28 days of February. This averages up pretty well with Mrs. Williams' hens—230 eggs during February from a dozen Rhode Island Red hens. Radio Operators Hear All About Inaugural Local wireless enthusiasts "listened in" today on reports of the inauguration of President Harding, Dr. J. E. Waters, Boy Scout Radio director, announced this afternoon. At noon the inaugural address had not begun to arrive, but was expected momentarily. Wayne Goodale and Ray Haucock were keeping a constant lookout or rather "listen-in" at their station on So. Palm-st. The address is expected to go by wireless telephone from San Pedro to Avalon, the local boys picking it up on the way. A wireless report was received here recently from Bordeaux, France and from New Brunswick in Eastern Canada. GARDEN GROVE FOLK SEEK H. S.

Inauguration day — the day on which Ohio sent the seventh of her sons into the White House—dawnclear and cold this morning. The temperature was not far from freezing and there was a stiff breeze whipping the flags that decorated Pennsylvania avenue and the government buildings. It was a strange inauguration day for Washington. In other days crowds moved restlessly up and down the street all night long and dawn found many of them camping sleepily in points of vantage along historic Pennsylvania avenue to view the great cavalcade of dignitaries. This morning a machine gun could have swept the length and breadth of the avenue with but few casualties. Not a band blared forth in the early stillness. Not a sentinel paced a beat in the city, except for the policemen who idly swung their clubs in front of the Willard, where the President-elect and Mrs. Harding and the vice president-elect and Mrs. Coolidge were quartered. Hats Off to Anaheim Debating Teams Today Hats off to Anaheim high school debating teams. Both affirmative and negative teams won today. The affirmative team, Martin Leuschner and Ted Selms, got a three to nothing decision over the Orange team, while the negative team, Fred Wittman and Johnnie Johnston, won two to one at Huntington Beach. This puts Anaheim in second place in the Orange-co debating league. The victory of the negative team is particularly notable because they began work only last Monday and have had no coaching. However, they have been working until 2 a.m. each night on the question. Filipino independence. The Huntington Beach team has been debating for three years and had been at work on the question for months. SEN. EDEN STILL FAVORGS KING BILL In reply to a wire from an Orange-co bank asking him to change his vote on the King tax bill "because interest rates in Orange-co must be increased if the King bill passes." State Senator Walter Eden has written an open letter in which he declares that the proposed increase in taxation of the banks in no way is sufficient to justify a raise in interest rates. Moreover, Eden declares that "in case the King bill is defeated it is generally conceded that an ad valorem tax will be levied to make-up the deficit, in which case the banks probably will pay more additional taxes than under the national law.

GARDEN GROVE FOLK SEEK H. S. DISTRICT Looking toward the formation of a Garden Grove high school district, a committee appointed at a Farm Center meeting there has been busy investigating present legislation concerning this matter. The committee appointed consists of H. A. Lake, S. R. Fitz and C. K. Lee. These men are planning to go into the matter extensively and a campaign for action on the proposition is expected to be started by the Farm Center if the results of the committee's investigations seem to justify action. Among other business transacted at the meeting was the appointment of a permanent county fair committee, composed of J. O. Arkley, Milo Allen, Mrs. Stillens, Mrs. C. C. Violett and Mrs. Kelsey. This committee will look after Garden Grove exhibits in future county fairs. A program committee for April was appointed consisting of Milo Allen and R. B. Richey. ABPLANALP HANDLES HIGH TEST GASOLINE H. E. Abplanalp, who has just opened a new service station at the Five Points in West Anaheim, is advertising high test gasoline at the same price as low grade. He is a former oil man and will also handle high grade lubricating oils. The new station includes a ladies' rest room. UNION E. L.
