WRIST CHAIN USED TO HOLD PRISONER The sensational escape of Roy Gardner, notorious mail robber, from the U.S. marshal who was escorting him to McNeil's Island, has been one of the principal topics of conversation among Orange-co officers, several of whom have taken numerous prisoners to San Quentin and Folsom. While few of the local officers have any recommendations for preventing the escape of desperate criminals all feel sure that they could take such a man as Gardner to any prison in the country and deliver him at the gates. Constable W. N. Carter, who has taken 25 or 30 prisoners to San Quentin and the Preston School of Industry at Ione, has conceived the idea of using a wrist chain about six feet long. Rather than take any chances with a prisoner on a night ride Carter hooks one end of the chain to the prisoner's wrist and links the other end to his own wrist or to the bed in which he is sleeping. As an extra precaution handcuffs and snackles are used. A constant watch is kept on all prisoners. When two or more prisoners are taken to the penitentiary at the same time they are in the custody of at least two officers. Two men have attempted to escape from Constable Carter. Both were caught, one almost immediately. Juan Tores, Mexican, who was sentenced to San Quentin for from one to 50 years following his conviction on a statutory charge, jumped from a moving train between Palmdale and Lancaster. Carter caught him in Lancaster about an hour after his escape. "Tores got away between 11 and 12 o'clock at night," said Carter. "He asked permission to go into the men's washroom and I followed him to the door. Just as Tores entered some fellow sitting in a seat across the aisle spoke to me. The moment my attention was diverted Tores made a dive thru the car window, altho the train was moving about 40 miles an hour at the time." "I called to the conductor as soon as I discovered the escape. He told me that I would never find my man still some swimmers who aren't worried by the agitation pro and bathing suit fashions. New York has gone into the business of developing "champions" at an age when such things needn't cramp their styles. For instance there is Francis Brown, four-year old champion swimmer of the city, who was one of the features of the "Splash Week" carnival, and—still more—there is Lillian Derrick, "champion eighteen months-old swimmer" of this amazing land and epoch. The teachers and trustees of the Institute of Musical Art showed a good deal of moral courage and of sportsmanship the other evening they went, with a brave smile on their lips, to see one part of their students' commencement celebration, entitled descriptively "Say It With Jazz." It was a travesty of music and nothing in the whole domain of their chosen art was untouched by flippancy and burlesque before the evening was over. The most revered symphonies were jazzed and "The Chorus Girl Blues" was done to what in its original form was an air from a Russian opera. Dr. Frank Damrosch, himself, nobly shook hands with the "interpreters" at the close of the performance. The story of a Greenwich Village artist who died the other day will be a joy to the psycho-analysts. They're probably glad he died just to get it. He was always called "Thomas, the artist," and the village that sometimes is the turbulent center of followers of the arts and the near-arts knew little about him except that he hated poetry and well-night hated every poet. According to current gossip, the Village has been trying to find out why for nearly three score years. After his death, just the other day, some one found a diary in his attic, and these words at the end told the story. (Remember this is true. It isn't a joke and it isn't a rumor): "I have a presentiment I shall not live long. If any Fullerton pledge to do honor over G. Dykeman who terried in Loma side that of his cord to his dying.

The moment my attention was diverted Tores made a dive thru the car window, altho the train was moving about 40 miles an hour at the time. "I called to the conductor as soon as I discovered the escape. He told me that I would never find my man alive if I found him at all. The conductor said that the place where the prisoner had dived thru the window was very rocky and it was quite likely that the Mexican was instantly killed. However, I got off the train and rushed back to Lancaster. There I found the town constable and we started search for Tores." "The constable rode about in his auto and I walked the track thru the town. The Mexican made the mistake of asking the constable for a ride in his auto. The constable picked him up. I was only a short distance away and when I got up to the machine I saw that he made the catch." Carter said that Tores was bruised and lacerated from his head to his feet. No bones were broken in the fall from the train window, but the man was terribly bruised. Carter took him to a doctor's office where his wounds were treated and bandaged. The prisoner then was handcuffed and taken to prison on the next train. CHEMIST ASSISTS IN SMITH DEFENSE LOS ANGELES, June 21.—Contradicting testimony of state witnesses, Dr. Ignace Raderoff of the defense, declared that he found orange cells in the stomach of Mrs. Smith at the Raymond Smith murder trial today. State witnesses testified they saw no orange cells, but found pickles, potatoes and tomato seeds, which tended to show that Mrs. Smith's last meal was on the day before she was found dead. Raderoff's testimony refuting this was given to show that she ate oranges on the same day her body was found. The witness also testified that he found particles of lettuce in the stomach, but saw no pickles or potatoe. Smith himself, with but little nervousness, took the stand in his own defense late yesterday. His testimony was largely a recital of his movements on the day his wife was found dead. Smith declared that the first time he suspected that something might be wrong was when his wife's mother called him on the telephone, and said that she had not come to work. It's pretty hard to wait eighteen years and search two continents to get the girl you want to marry and then have your romance end in an arrest for A. W. O. L. That's the sad story of Marcus Skarafos, a graduate of the Greek Military Academy who was arrested here the other day. Eighteen years ago, when Sakarafos was a lieutenant in the Greek Royal navy, he met an English girl, fell in love with her, and tried to persuade her to marry him. He failed for the time and the girl returned to England. Some time later, he went there to find her. She had gone to America, he was told. Just as he was about to pursue her, he was recalled for service in the Balkan War. When he was through with that war, he sailed for the United States, and kept on looking until we went into the World War and once more he became a soldier. Then one day, on leave, he saw the girl at Brighton Beach! This time he won her and they were married. This time he was stationed at Fortress Monroe and after several months he got leave to get it. He was always called "Thomas, the artist," and the village that sometimes is the turbulent center of followers of the arts and the near-arts knew little about him except that he hated poetry and well-night hated every poet. According to current gossip, the Village has been trying to find out why for nearly three score years. After his death, just the other day, some one found a diary in his attic, and these words at the end told the story. (Remember this is true. It isn't a joke and it isn't a rumor): "I have a presentment I shall not live long. If any one finds this, let him read this, my confession, the confession of a fool. I hate poets. Why? Day in and day out, supper in and supper out, my father would always recite the same bit of poetry. I, who might have acquired a deep love for it, am a hater of verse; all for: 'Ye gods and little fishes! Tommy has to wash the dishes.' That's the tragedy and farce of my life." Nobody in this whole wide land (you can't call it "brood") any more without having some punster interrupt you) is more grateful for the outlook of business thriving next autumn than are the chorus girls of the shows just closed and closing. Beautiful June is liable to be a sad month for them. There isn't enough summer time choreusing to take the place of the winter affairs that stack the scenery quietly in a storehouse. But they are being rapidly absorbed into New York fashion modeling, and they are perfectly happy to walk haughtily across the showroom for a change so long as the good little pay envelope appears just the same at the week's end. At a fashion show put on the other day by one New York maker of women's clothes, over $300,000 was spent on the production. Musical comedy has nothing on that so far as the chorus girl is concerned.

Smith declared that the first time he suspected that something might be wrong was when his wife's mother called him on the telephone, and said that she had not come to work. Obtaining leave, he said he rushed home to find his wife dead. "I touched her forehead," he said. "But that was all." Clarence Daves, called to the stand, testified that Mrs. Smith told him about a year and a half ago, that unless "her husband returned she would do away with herself." This was at a time, it is said, when Smith and his wife were separated. CHERRIES MAY BE EASILY DRIED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE Everybody enjoys canned cherries, but it is not so generally understood that drying offers a simple and economical method for preserving cherries when canning is inconvenient. Sweet cherries, especially the dark solid flesh varieties, such as the Tartarian, Hing, Lambert and Dikeman, may be employed for the same purposes as raisins. The sour or pie cherries are also easily dried. The fruit is washed, picked over to remove stems and imperfect specimens, then spread in a single layer on the trays and placed in the drier. If the fruits are very large, they may be pitted before drying, but large quantities of the juice, which contains a considerable portion of the sugar of the fruit, are lost in the process. If this juice which amounts to 35 to 50 gallons per ton of fruit, can be saved and combined with apple or other juices in the making of jellies, pitting may be attempted, otherwise the process is both time-consuming and wasteful. The drier should not be hotter than 120 degrees F. when fresh cherries are placed in it, and the temperature should meter rise above 150 degrees, as cherries especially are easily injured by overheating.

Dykeman who died in France and whose body was brot back to be interred in Loma Vista cemetery beside that of his sweetheart, in accord to his dying request. The funeral services were held at the Catholic church of Fullerton, following an impressive parade from the Seale funeral parlors. Father Galvin officiated. All business houses in Fullerton and the packing houses were closed one hour in respect to the memory of the dead soldier. Doors were draped in flags. The funeral procession left the Seale funeral parlors on East Wilshire-ave at 9:30 o'clock, wending its way to Spadra-rd, and south on Spadra to West Commonwealth-ave, thence west to the Catholic church. The procession was headed by the Fullerton police, followed by the Fullerton band. Then followed four men carrying the American colors and a firing squad of eight men.
