This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 196 HIGH COURT UR Graft Indictments Loc "RICK" IS REGULAR FELLOW, DISCLOSED AT PRESS BANQUET Merits Position As Vice President of Sheridan Motor Co. Thru Knowledge of Industry. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker is a regular fellow, it was declared today by No. Orange-co newspaper men "in" on a delicious, impromptu dinner in honor of the American ace of aces at the Fullerton club last night, served by the Quality Motor Co., distributors for the Sheridan motor. The great aviator is vice president of the Sheridan Motor Co. If any of the newspaper men had the idea he was traveling with such big business on the strength of his reputation as a destroyer of Booche planes, that idea was dispelled last night. He holds such a position because he knows the auto industry from personal experience, starting as a salesman back in '07. Discussing business conditions with which he disclosed a thoro familiarity, he said in the course of informal discussions for nearly an hour and a half over the dinner table: Asserted "Hush" Money Paid In Bunco Case LOS ANGELES, March 19.—Fresh evidence of "hush" money involving former police officers, and out of which is likely to develop grand jury indictments for alleged protection of bunko manipulations in Los Angeles aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars, is expected when the trial of Everett A. ('Big Hutch') Hutchings is resumed Monday before Superior Judge Frank R. Willis. New details and corroboration will be given from the witness stand by Mrs. J. B. Norris, wife of the Illinois farmer alleged to have lost $51,000 to Hutchings in a fake stock deal. Lemmon, called by the prosecution, testified that 15 pct. of the $51,000 was paid to certain police detectives by Hutchings for protection after the Norris "job." He said Hutchings was given immunity from arrest by Frank Carroll and Bruce Boyd, former police detectives, and that former Police Chief George Home was a "friend" of "Hutch." It was learned today that Mrs. Norris is ready to testify the police failed to arrest Hutchings after her husband had been swindled. "When I learned Mr. Norris had lost the money I went to police headquarters and there I met Chief Home CHARGE CASE BRUTAL PRISON Crazed by Denna timed to June 15 STOCKTON, gation was being of the most committed here, a carpenter of with having killed a cell at the city Oscar's face he beaten into an and his chest jumped on.

If any of the newspaper men had the idea he was traveling with such big business on the strength of his reputation as a destroyer of Boche planes that idea was dispelled last night. He holds such a position because he knows the auto industry from personal experience, starting as a salesman back in '07. Discussing business conditions with which he disclosed a thorouf familiarity, he said in the course of informal discussions for nearly an hour and a half over the dinner table: "The era of prosperity during and immediately after the war got many business men out of the habit of normal transactions. I am thankful that I was not so unfortunate as to be in business during that prosperity. What the business man must come to understand is that the country is still prosperous. In fact, many lines are doing more business now than they ever did. They are the ones which are employing real salesmanship. I sold automobiles back in 1907 when it was necessary not only to sell the farmer on the idea of buying my car but of buying any car to displace his horses. Then, if I sold a man in a month or six months or a year I considered myself successful. Until recently, it has been the habit of many salesmen that if they couldn't take a man's order at one attempt, they would give it up and look for somebody else. "I remember one thing that Captain Lufbury, who was the ace when I first went over, told me. He said: Rick, you can't get any Boche planes sitting around the hangar." And that's just the way with selling autos today. You can't sell them sitting around the salesroom. "Before the era of hectic prosperity, a letter would bring a carload of autos. That wasn't fast enough. The dealer took a step up and ordered by wire. Then long distance phone. Finally, he would climb on the train and take a $300 trip to the factory. That was useless, extravagant overhead. We must get back to the two-cent postage stamp basis of business." Rickenbacker gave it as his opinion that business was becoming much more cheerful in the east. He said: "When I was in New York on December things were so fine, you could cut it with a knife. I got out as quickly as I could for fear of contamination. Now, we are getting reports of a decidedly more cheerful feeling. There is one thing sure about present conditions, they make for better quality and service." ADD RICK "The boys in the air service 'over there' won their share of glory, yet to the doughboys must go the credit for the brilliant victory which was ours. Many answered at the spring-time of their lives. Nothing is accomplished without sacrifice and I know that our country and the world will receive the benefit of their wonderful deeds." These were the words of Cant; Eddie Rickenbacker. It was learned today that Mrs. Norris is ready to testify the police failed to arrest Hutchings after her husband had been swindled. "When I learned Mr. Norris had lost the money I went to police headquarters and there I met Chief Home and Detectives Frank Carroll, Bruce Boyd and Harry Raymond." Mrs. Norris said today. "I told them all the details of the swindle and described Hutchings accurately and thoroughly." They showed me pictured from the identification bureau and asked me to pick out the man who had swindled my husband. I know now that the pictures they showed me were not those of swindlers and bunk-men but of burglaries and pickpockets. TOAD-STOOL VICTIMS YET VERY CRITICAL Reports from Yorba Linda today were to the effect that the four victims of eating toad-stools, mistaken for mushrooms, last Monday evening, were still in a critical condition. If anything, they were believed to be a little better, although still in a state of stupor most of the time. BABE HURIED BESIDE BROTHER Funeral services for little Miss Elizabeth Pickering, five daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Pickering, of Yorba Linda, were held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from the Friends church in Yorba Linda. Interment was in the Whittier Heights Memorial Park cemetery, beside her 11-year-old brother who was drowned in the Fullerton city reservoir last June. She ate poisoned mushrooms, bringing the second tragedy in the family within a year. Announce Program for Sunrise Easter Service PLACENTIA. March 19—(Spl.)

ADD RICK "The boys in the air service over there won their share of glory, yet to the doughboys must go the credit for the brilliant victory which was ours. Many answered at the spring-time of their lives. Nothing is accomplished without sacrifice and I know that our country and the world will receive the benefit of their wonderful deeds." These were the words of Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker at the close of his address last night before the American Legion club. Capt. Rickenbacker related some of his thrilling experiences while fighting in Uncle Sam's air squadron in France during which time he brot down 29 German planes. True hero that he is, he wove the thread of his story around the deeds of his comrades, as they played this game of death with the Kaiser's men, smiling as his story brot back the memory of their good fortune while at other times a tear would ebb its way out as he related the passing of some gallant hero. Those who heard Captain Rickenbacker admit that he is a man's man as well as an ace of aces. TWO DEATHS DURING FLEET MANEUVERS GUANTANAMO, Cuba, March 19. Walter Johns and A. R.

STOCKTON, March 19.—Investigation was being made today of one of the most brutal murders ever committed here. Mike Crimmins, 50, a carpenter of Stockton, is charged with having killed Amos McOscar in a cell at the city jail last night.

Statements by two other men arrested with Crimmins said the trio had been drinking dena-tur-al alcohol in a local park. Crimmins says McOscar calced him a vile name, but that his brain was so dulled by the effects of the alcohol that he remembers little of what happened. Witnesses say the crazed man continued to jump on and kick Plan Inspection Trip On Water Conservation All interested parties are invited to make a trip of inspection of the property and conservation work in which the people of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange-cos are interested, on Wednesday, March 23.

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 19.—The State Corporation Commission today received word from U. S. Senator Ralph Cameron that the western railroads had decided to suspend for 90 days the present rates on cast-bound traffic and go back to the rates prevailing on Aug. 6, 1920. The information came in a telegram sent from Washington under date of yesterday by Mr. Cameron-the Telegram said: "Officials of western railroads met here today and suspended for 90 days present railroad rates coming east. They have gone back to rates of Aug. 26, 1920.

The well is under full control. While the oil began suddenly to flow it did not blow out and damage any of the well equipment. In anticipation of the well being brot in at any time, every precaution had been taken to prevent a break-out. The body of oil was struck at about 2600 feet and the tremendous gas pressure sent the heavy fluid to the top as soon as the basin was penetrated. This makes the fifth producing well the Standard has in this field. It is located about 2000 feet west of Bolsa Chica No. 1 and within 100 feet of Standard 4. Bolsa Chica is producing about 1500 barrels a day. The new producer is a hole in which the drillers have been experiencing a great deal of trouble with water. The crews have been fighting for three months with the water condition. The last job of cementing was done at 2350 feet and resulted in effecting a complete shut-off of the water. Drilling operations were resumed a short time ago and the drill had gone between 250 and 300 feet below the last cement job when the well came in as a producer of considerable proportions. The well is on the Huntington Beach lease. Famine Conditions In China Growing Worse H. H. Benjamin, chairman of the local committee on Chinese relief work, received word today that despite the efforts of the Chinese relief workers the famine conditions in North China, over the 100,000 square miles, are steadily growing worse, the call comes out for more money and more food supplies.

The men had been arrested during the day. Statements by two other men arrested with Crimmins said the trio had been drinking dena-tur alcohol in a local park.

Benjamin, chairman of the local committee on Chinese relief work, received word today that despite the efforts of the Chinese relief workers the famine conditions in North China, over the 100,000 square miles, are steadily growing worse, the call comes out for more money and more food supplies. Fifteen million people are facing death by starvation, disease and cold. The various missions who are carrying on the relief work have selected certain towns to care for and are forced to let the others go. Parents are throwing their children into wells to keep them from starving, and in this way the water supply is being so barry contaminated that it is almost dangerous to take a drink of water in that section.

VICTOR IN ACTION AGAINST YEOMAN Appelate Court Upholds Superior in Award of 500 Box for Fruit Sold Outside. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. was the victor in the suit against L. C. Yeoman, for 50 cents a box on his orange crop, for having marketed it outside the association in violation of the by-laws of the association. Word was received this morning by W. H. Schureman, manager, that the appellate court had decided in favor of the association. This decision, which upholds the by-laws of the association in marketing the fruits of its members, is very gratifying. Mr. Schureman said. This is the most important decision affecting cooperative marketing ever handed down. There have been previous test cases in the superior court but this is the first time a higher court has passed on the matter. Had the court ruled otherwise the whole scheme would have been thrown into confusion. In June, 1919, Yeoman, then of Anaheim, now of Glendale, having signed the by-laws of the association, sold 568 boxes of fruit outside the association. The association instituted suit to collect 500 per box injured damages and Superior Judge West awarded $284 to cover this amount June 15, 1920. The defense attacked the provis- OF SALT LAKE HERE On motion of A. W.
