XXV—NO. 106 NAB 1000 HARDING HAS PLANS FOR NORMALCY President's Message Tells Program for Return of Prosperity to Nation WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. President Harding today proposed to congress a definite and comprehensive program for restoring the U. S. to normalcy. Speeding up plans to put America again on a sound normal basis is America's best contribution to a world-wide restoration the President said, and his words were heard by representatives of all the world powers here for the arms conference, who were seated in the galleries of the house. Harding served notice that the United States has no intention of trying to "save" other nations. They must save themselves, he said. City Manager States Population Now 8100 Anahiem has a population of approximately 8100 people, says City Manager O. E. Steward, if the record of new sewer connections are a true index. The city this morning had 1620 connections compared with 1323 a year ago today. Allowing five persons for each connection, this would give a present population of 8100 against 6015 a year ago this date. Enough houses have no sewer connections or use cesspools, said Steward, to make up for any duplications due to the fact that tenants rather than new residents have taken over houses here. TROOP ONE SCOUTS ENTERTAIN DADS Editor, Frank Sackett The Scouts of Troop One, Anahiem, held their regular meeting last night at their headquarters in the Fremont school building.

Speeding up plans to put America again on a sound normal basis is America's best contribution to a world-wide restoration the President said, and his words were heard by representatives of all the world powers here for the arms conference, who were seated in the galleries of the house. Harding served notice that the United States has no intention of trying to "save" other nations. They must save themselves, he said. America will help unselfishly when they turn to the "heroic remedies for the menacing conditions under which they are struggling." No American policy alone will cure the world's ills, Harding said. By serving ourselves, he declared, we will help the rest of the world to save itself. The President's policy was clearly outlined in discussing the need for a high tariff. "Sensible of every obligation of humanity, commerce and finance, linked as they are in the present world condition, it is not to be argued that we need to destroy ourselves to be helpful to others," he said. "It were better to remain on firm ground, strive for ample employment and high standards of wage at home and point the way to balanced budgets, rigid economics and resolute, efficient work as the remedies to cure disaster." The arms conference was referred to only briefly by the President. "It is easy to believe a world hope is centered in the capital city," he said. "A most gratifying world accomplishment is not impossible." Outstanding in the President's recommendation for bringing this country back to normal conditions are: Creation of a virtual industrial court to have judicial or quasi-judicial power to deal with labor disputes affecting public interest. Prompt enactment of the permanent tariff bill with adoption of the American valuation plan and a provision for fixing of valuable duties by presidential order. Revision of the shipping act to be based on recommendations shortly to be made in a special message. Enactment of the allied debt funding bill. Encouragement of co-operative market programme to aid farmers. A. G. MORRIS DIES AT CYPRESS TODAY CYPRESS, Dec. 6.—(Spl.) A. G.

TROOP ONE SCOUTS ENTERTAIN DADS Editor, Frank Sackett The Scouts of Troop One, Anaheim, held their regular meeting last night at their headquarters in the Fremont school building. One year ago last night Troop One was formed and being their birthday, the troop committee decided to have a "feed" and to have the Scouts bring their fathers. The Scouts assembled at seven o'clock and after the usual ceremonies they filed into the dining room, where a feast worthy of a king was served by Miss Renshaw and the troops' chef, Bill Reed. After the "feed" the fathers were called upon to give their opinions of the troop. Later a First-Aid demonstration was given and Scouts were called upon to tie knots and to show their ability at signalling. The fathers present were: C.J. C. Smith, Dr. Utter, Chas, Mann, Mr. Nenno, Mr. Shea, Mr. Fitzgibbons, Mr. Sackett, Mr. Sherman, Major De Sombre, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Dye, Mr. McKim. 20-ACRE ELK PARK EXTENSION READY The Elk Park Extension a 20-acre piece which the J. T. Lyon Co., is subdividing, is being developed rapidly, and the work of putting in the curbs and sidewalks will be started in the very near future. J. T. Lyon announces. The concern now is removing trees from driveways, and the grading and oiling of the streets will now be pushed. Streets will not be paved for the present. The tract consists of 64 surveyed lots and eight three-quarter-acre tracts. The tract lies between Wilhelmina and East North-sts. Sabina and Pauline-sts will lie the only thoroughfares thru the property. The right-of-way thru the tract is the only one still needed by the Union Pacific for the proposed extension of the Salt Lake railroad thru it. Only four tracts of approximately 20 acres each, remain to be subdivided in this section, and parts of these already have been cut up into small ranches.

Mr. Morris' health began to fail some two years ago and has been slowly tearing down the once perfect physical structure till the end came this morning. Mr. Morris is the last of a very old and highly respected Kentucky family. His father, Capt. John Morris, was powerful in state affairs for many years. A. G. Morris came to this section in 1904, and has made this his home since that date. He has been successful in business endeavors, but never attempted to enter public life here, as his father had done in Kentucky, though he was always well posted on national and state affairs. His high standard of character has won for him love, admiration and respect of all who knew him. A. G. Morris was born in Bourbon County, Kentucky, Dec. 15, 1850. A widow, Mrs. Hattle Morris and a son Thomas R. Morris mourn his loss. Mr. Morris early joined the Masonic order and has always been an ardent and zealous member of that order.

A new British dominion, to be known as the Irish Free State, was born today, Lord Birkenhead, a member of the British peace delegation, announced in a speech here today.

TRIAL SHOWS FIGHT TO WIN KENNEDY LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6. How Madalynne Obenchain in her intense love for J. Belton Kennedy fought to hold him while his parents gradually persuaded him to drop her from his life was disclosed today in the trial of Arthur C. Burch, charged with Kennedy's murder, when more of her passionate love letters were read to the jury by Dist. Atty. Woolwine. On the witness stand during the reading of the letters sat J. D. Kennedy, father of the slain man, who told of his efforts to break the relationship between his son and Mrs. Obenchain. It was the struggle between the two loves, that of Mrs. Obenchain and that of his parents, Woolwine claims, that indirectly precipitated the tragedy. Nearly 50 of Mrs. Obenchain's day at the annual meeting of the club when Secretary-Treasurer Messias presented his report. The club held its first meeting on Feb. 1 of this year, and closed its fiscal year on November 30. There is $227.35 in the treasury, a balance sufficient to carry the work through until outstanding dues, etc., are paid. Mr. Messias said the International organization had urged the budget system, and expressed himself in favor of it. He recommended that an auditing committee be appointed to examine his accounts and this will be done. The secretary called attention to the work of the local club during the past year in aid of the Boy Scouts, the Pueblo, Colo., sufferers; the Red Cross, Chamber of Commerce activities, city bond elections, railway extensions, Orange show and the Christmas tree for the Mexicans. Principal Joseph Claye of the high school was thanked by the secretary for rhiis aid in sending out the notice of the weekly meetings. President Adams expressed his warm appreciation of the report. Twenty names were balloted upon president, the vote finally narrowing down to C. C. Smith, William Stark, E. H. Metcalf and Edward H. Ahlswede. The latter was chosen by lot to succeed President Adams. Secretary Messias said Bishop Coadjutor William B. Stevens of the diocese of Los Angeles, had agreed to address the club, and the club on motion of Rev. J. A. Gelsinger, fixed Dec. 20 as the date, if agreeable, when he is to speak. The club has received invitations from the Kiwis clubs of Santa Ana and Fullerton to be their guests, and has decided to attend the meeting of the Fullerton club next Tuesday. Mr. Gelsinger asked about the aid which it was proposed to give the poor this Christmas, but consideration of the matter was put off. President Adams recommended to the program committee that an event for the ladies be arranged. *There was an excellent attendance. STATE TREASURER ANAHEIM VISITOR Friend Richardson, state treasurer, was an Anaheim visitor today in the interest of his candidacy for governor. Richardson hopes the race will simmer down to Stephens and himself, although he says he is "going with it, no matter how many candidates develop." Richardson said, "There is need in California for more business and less politics in its government. There is need for a relief from the heavy burden of taxation. This burden is causing unemployment stifling industry and driving away new enterprises. "Three years ago Governor Stephens went before the people on an economy platform.

This burden is causing unemployment stifling industry and driving away new enterprises. "Three years ago Governor Stephens went before the people on an economy platform. He promised a reduction in the state tax burden. How has that promise been kept? Look at the figures; In 1919, the Governor signed the bills exceeding $52,000,000. This year he raised the limit to $91,000,000. An increase of 74 per cent in the state tax burden seems to be Governor Stephens' idea of economy." BEVER & WILSON ERECT SHOP BLDG. Bever & Wilson, general contractors, will soon begin construction of a modern shop, 35 by 100, on the south side of Elm street, near South Los Angeles. The building will occupy a lot 70 by 181, the rest of the space being used to store timber and other materials. The front will be of tile and plate glass, the walls and rear of tile and corrugated iron. At present the firm rents a place near the Santa Fe station. OBTAINS $18,000 IN CHURCH DONATIONS Dr. J. A. Geissinger, pastor of the Methodist White Temple, went to Escondido Sunday morning where he was instrumental in obtaining subscriptions totalling $18,000 for final payment on the new $50,000 Methodist church there. The new Escondido church is a beautiful structure, not unlike the White Temple. Bungalow Aprons and Dresses, Ebell Bazaar, Dec. 9 and 10. Wm. Trapp, Jr., Cement Pipe, 197-R-4 STEADMAN SCOUTS TWO POLICE PLANS N. F. Steadman, chief of police, when asked regarding the various plans to improve the force, was some what sceptical of at least two plains, and doubtful whether the city could afford to add two more men to the force. The C. of C. has recommended to the City council that a sergeant and patrolman be always at headquarters ready to answer telephone calls. The Rotary Club's plan for a volunteer squad also does not seem feasible, said Chief Steadman, because the volunteers do not understand the work. Steadman is uncertain how the night patrol plan might work. The chief declared that there was no crime here more than elsewhere, and crime was not on the increase. During November there were only three robberies, those of The Prince store, and the houses of Fred. Mickel in West Anaheim and of U. S. Amack's house at 711 West Broadway. The Prince store suffered no loss. There are also few if any hoboes appearing in town, he said. At the same time, the chief admitted that the situation was becoming difficult, mainly because of the growth in automobile traffic. Chief Steadman does not believe that motorcycles are necessary to aid the force. The Rotary Club's volunteer squad will consist of twenty-five to thirty men. These men would be deputized, given a badge and be on call for emergencies in their locality. They would of course serve without pay. The use of the telephone rather than of red lights was urged by speakers. Bungalow Aprons and Dresses, Ebell Bazaar, Dec. 9 and 10. LIKES ANAHEIM: WILL LOCATE Mike Wienzierl, of Ely, Minn., has arrived in Anaheim after a 28 days motor trip across the continent, and is so well pleased with the town that he wants to locate here. "This is as good a place as I've struck," he said. He will locate if satisfactory location can be found. He spent many years as a jeweler and watchmaker, and for the past few years has been a Nash salesman. He spent 33 years in Ely.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR OF WINE CYPRESS ITALIAN FINED $900 ON THREE COUNTS Sheriff C. E. Jackson and Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard seized 1000 gallons of wine in a raid last night on the residence of Guido Paerei, 50, Italian, about 1½ miles southeast of Cypress. Today, Paerei pleaded guilty on three counts before Justice Corr at Santa Ana, and was fined $300 on each.

Twelfth District, receives only qualified and uncertain endorsement by Anaheim men who were present. In any case, the plan cannot be pushed until the meeting this month of the Orange County Bankers' Association. B. B. Benjamin, cashier of the First National Bank, said that clearings of the banks of Placentia, La Habra, Brea, Garden Grove, Olive and the branch towns were too small to make the scheme pay them cost of mailing, even when added to the loss of say three days' interest on deferred payment, would be loss in their cases than to use a messenger. These towns can send their checks to their Los Angeles correspondents, and can afford to take their losses due to deferred credit. This is not true, however, of Fullerton, Anaheim and Santa Ana, which might designate in turn one of the three as a center and save considerably by clubbing together. There are a dozen banks in the three cities. If they favor the plan, it can be put into effect. President Adolph Thomas of the Golden State National, said that he was not prepared at this time to give his opinion on the wisdom of the plan. In any case the matter would first have to come before the county organization. E. E. Smith, cashier of the bank, explained that the chief benefit of the scheme lay in the fact that it enabled member banks to keep tab on the accounts of individuals who might have borrowed more than a safe limit from say a State and National bank taken together, but not from either one separately. State and National bank examiners have no connection with each other. A. B. McCord, cashier of the Anaheim National, was in doubt about the feasibility of the plan, owing to the fact that the member banks would be so scattered and far apart. McCord said Calkins did not recommend the plan, but suggested that it might be advisable. Calkins said at the meeting in Santa Ana that he come to get information rather than give it. At the same time McCord pointed out the present delay, due to the fact that a check on a Santa Ana bank presented at the Anaheim National, for instance, had to be sent to Los Angeles first and then from Los Angeles to Santa Ana. If the plan were put into effect checks in any one town would have to be collected at the same hour, said McCord. H. A. Hawley, cashier of the Southern County bank, was not present at the meeting and preferred not to pass an opinion on the plan until he had considered it in detail.
