Fornal was made to the world United States, Great and France have entered world treaty designed others' interests in the end for at least 10 years of war in those waters. 1. The powers agree each other's insular po Pacific and to submit may arise to common Former associates and acquaintances of George Christman, former local automobile mechanic, are convinced that the mysterious Leona or Grace Mayfield or Mansfield was never in Anaheim, not probably in any of the other towns in Orange-co. Christman, in his various confessions—which, by the way, don't altogether jibe—regarding his having shin a woman so named in New York City, is reputed to have said she was a Brea girl. The fact is, according to Mrs. R. H. Seale, his former landlady, and L. S. Irwin, his former employer at a local garage, the only girl with whom Christman over associated while here was a Miss Poster, daughter of a rancher at San Juan Capistrano, where Christman worked in a garage for some two years. Irvin hopes to see Christman in Los Angeles today if possible. Christman told Mrs. Seale that he intended to marry the girl, and he made rather frequent trips by car there to see her. Mrs. Seale got the impression when Christmas left town on May 30, that he had had a break with the girl over something. Mrs. Seale, seen this morning at her home at North Olive and East Adle street, told an intimate story of Christman. He had been an aviator in brance during the war, and wore several medals, she said, whether war medals or not she didn't know. She understands that he held certain endurance or height records. Mrs. Seale was not surprised when told Irvin thought him crazy. She said he always was high strung and nervous. He came there after Charles Squires, her nephew, had asked for a room for him. "He only wanted a place to sleep," said Mrs. Seale. Squires was quite an intimate of his and the two often drove out together in a car belonging to Irvin's garage. It was May 30, to the best recollection of Mrs. Seale, when Christman dressed up in his aviation suit to fly at Seal Beach. But his exhibition flight never came off, Christman leaving town in the Paige, for the theft of which he is serving a term on a charge of grand larceny. Venice was another place where Christman according to his own story, often went to fly, and sometimes he went to Brea to fly. His trips to San Juan Capistrano he made apparently only to see Miss Foster. The proprietor of the San Juan Capistrano garage J. Sickner, thought so well of Christman that when he went to Europe on one occasion he left Christmas completely in charge of the place. Christman made a good impression upon Mrs. Seale. He paid his bills promptly, was never seen intoxicated or disorderly, and was as steady a roofer as could be desired. F. W. SCHMIDT BACK DROP KIDNAPING CHARGE VS. HUBBY Hallie Elaskett, charged with kidnapping his wife, Marguerite Elaskett, from her home at Huntington Beach Tuesday night, was freed today by Justice Cox before whom he appeared after arrest by Undersheriff E.

It was asserted in court today that Mrs. Elaskett voluntarily accompanied her husband and that they had been living together at Seal Beach. The two left court arm in arm and it was stated that a divorce action recently preferred by Mrs. Elaskett would be dropped. NEW DELICATESSEN SHOP BUSY PLACE The Sanitary Delicatessen which opened in the rooms of the Sanitary Bakery, is a very busy place today, and no wonder, when the eye of the anxious housewife falls upon the display in the window.

So the Fulerton woman's little girl and Henry had to pull straws for the prize. Henry started for home in a hurry with the prize, because he wanted to tell his mother about it.

That the district attorney has summoned the new surprise witnesses from Las Vegas was learned today.
