XXV—NO. 111 SALSCHEIDER WILL FIGHT CHARGES Proprietor of Liberty Grill Retains Los Angeles Attorney to Oppose Payment Max Salscheider, proprietor of the Liberty Grill, has retained a Los Angeles attorney and will fight to the limit the charge of bootlegging preferred against him, he announced this afternoon. Salscheider was the first man indicted for bootlegging in the city, and his was the first case prosecuted. He did not have a jury trial. The accused man said the only drink with an alcoholic content exceeding the legal limit which he had sold was Hurfland's bitters and these, he declared, were a patent medicine and did not come within the application of city ordinance 337, which he and his convicted barkeeper, Andrew Asmussen, were accused of selling. Salscheider said J. S. Howard, Justice of the peace, after accepting his check for $500, covering his ball, had, upon Asmussen's conviction, deducted $300; the amount the latter was fined, and offered him a check for $200, the remainder. Salscheider at first refused to Some Prize Entries for So. Cal. The So. Cal. Poultry Snow will be held at Santa Ana Judge E. G. Teaney, secretary. Special attention will be given to utility classes.

HOWARD, Justice of the peace, after accepting his check for $500, covering his ball, had, upon Asmussen's conviction, deducted $300; the amount the latter was fined, and offered him a check for $200, the remainder. Salschieder at first refused to accept the latter check, but later took it, he says. His attorney told him, he says, that Judge Howard was violating the law in taking the money for the fine out of the bail. Judge Howard said the $300 had been taken from Asmussen's ball, not Salscchieder's. Deputy Sheriff Gunnett promised to return the stock of Huffland's bitters, estimated at $1000 or more, which was seized about the time when the evidence against him was obtained, Salscchieder said. Judge Howard explained that Salschieder could have had a jury trial but waived his right to it. Consequently the judge acted alone, as the law prescribes. Salschieder believes that he will be cleared in superior court when he is accorded a jury trial. C. D. Swanner, of Santa Ana, who defended Asmussen, was Salschieder's attorney at his first appearance. SANTA ANA ELEVEN GOES NORTH WED.

This became definitely known for the first time when Burch's trial was resumed today in court. It was a decision eagerly awaited, for obvious reasons, by the attorneys for both sides in the Burch case. Mrs. Obenchain's refusal to be a witness for Burch will be made on the advice of her new attorneys, Jud R. Rush and A. F. MacDonald. The decision to keep her from the stand in the Burch trial was the first important result of the substitution of Rush and MacDonald as attorneys for Mrs. Obenchain following the withdrawal of Charles E. Erbstein, spectacular Chicago attorney, who quit her case Saturday. Until today it was an open question whether Mrs. Obenchain would appear as a witness for Burch, Mrs. be neid at Santa Ana Dec. 13-17. Dr. R. A.

WOMAN WAR WORKER SOUGHT AS SLAYER NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—A former war worker who seemed infatuated with Dr. Abraham Glickstein was being hunted by police today as his slayer. Dr. Glickstein, a Brooklyn physician, was killed Saturday by a woman who entered the house. Plan Overthrow of Pekin Government SHANGHAI, Dec. 12.—A gigantic mass meeting was held here today for the purpose of launching a movement for the overthrow of the Pekin government. Arrangements have been made by the leaders of the movement to circulate the nation with the Mogan: "Pekin is not the people's government." Demonstrations are increasing daily throut China as a protest against the direct negotiations being carried on at Washington for the settlement of the Shantung issue with Japan. The Chinese press bitterly scores America for her attitude toward China in the Washington conference. FARM BUREAU WILL HEAR ABOUT WATER O. E. Steward, city manager of Anaheim, will discuss the conservation of our underground water supply at the farm bureau meeting, high school auditorium, Tuesday evening at 7:30. Mr. Steward is one of the best-posted men in Orange-co on conditions along the Santa Ana river, having been employed for a number of years measuring water in Riverside and San Bernardino-cos. This is probably the most important problem confronting the people of this district. All interested are urged to attend this meeting. STRIKE BREAKER LYNCHED BY MOB FORT WORTH, Tcx., Dec. 12.—Alfred Rouse, negro strike-breaker at a packing plant, was hanged to a tree late last night by a mob of about 30 unmasked men who had taken him from the city and county hospital. Rouse on Tuesday shot Tom Macklin. ORANGE SHOW MEN VISION Representatives of the California Valencia Orange Show visited the San Joaquin Valley Citrus Fair Saturday and Sunday, returning to Anaheim after traveling all Sunday night. H. J. Beidleman, secretary of the fair, is apparently responsible for the creation of a great many features new to the citrus exhibition work. He is ably assisted by J. Sub Johnson, one of the pioneers of Visalia and a man largely interested in all the enterprises of that flourishing section of the great San Joaquin valley. Messrs. LaMont, Clausen and Fraser found much to learn and many things to profit by and their report to the California Valencia Orange Show will probably be found of great value in the staging and perfecting of the 1922 Show here. The Valley Citrus Fair partakes more of the nature of a general exposition than did the citrus show at Anaheim and San Bernardino. The site is immediately next to the Visalia Auditorium, an imposing building seating 1400 people. The frontage of the show is only 46 feet, thereby preventing a just impression to the entrance of the real beauty and magnificent scale of the show. The Visalia people own $10,000 worth of canvas and a street lighting scheme unparalleled in the history of expositions anywhere. The streets of Visalia this week are a blaze of white light. There are at least 10 "welcome" signs placed at every important approach to the city. Visalia boosters, some years ago, bought hundreds of strands of electric lights for festooning their streets and contracted with the electric company for a period of 10 years. As it works out now, they get the finest lighting scheme in California, at a cost of less than $2000 for each event. Nothing could be finer for calling attention to an exposition than this brilliant illuminated spectacle, which is carried out in white lamps alone. The most noteworthy item in the citrus feature exhibits was the great care taken not to mar the fruit. Little wire brackets hold each piece of fruit worked into the exhibits. Thus, there will be no de WOMAN WAR WORKER SOUGHT AS SLAYER NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—A former war worker who seemed infatuated with Dr. Abraham Glickstein was being hunted by police today as his slayer. Dr. Glickstein, a Brooklyn physician, was killed Saturday by a woman who entered his private office and shot him with a revolver wrapped in the folds of a stole. She quietly walked out afterward, passing a number of patients in the waiting room who had not heard the shot and suspected nothing. MORSE RETURNS TO FIGHT FRAUD CHARGE NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Morse, financier and shipbuilder, arrived here from France on the liner Paris today and will go immediately to Washington to face charges of shipbuilding frauds. Morse, who returned from France when the government cabled him to return voluntarily or be arrested, announced after consulting lawyers that he would take the 2:25 train for Washington. L. A. ACTOR BARELY RESCUES CHILDREN LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.—Spottiswoode Altken, well known actor, barely saved the lives of his three small children when flames destroyed him home near Athens on the Hill.

PLANS BURIAL SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.—The G. A. R. today planned last rite for Charles B. Hart, aged 79. Hart was pallbearer at the funeral of President Abraham Lincoln. STRIKE BREAKER LYNCHED BY MOB FORT WORTH, Tcx., Dec. 12.—Alfred Rouse, negro strike-breaker at a packing plant, was hanged to a tree late last night by a mob of about 30 unmasked men who had taken him from the city and county hospital. Rouse on Tuesday shot Tom Macklin and his brother, Tracy, strikers. The mob took the negro to a lined spot and hanged him, afterwards riddling him with bullets. COMPLETE AGREEMENT WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—Complete agreement on all the major problems confronting the arms conference is confidently expected before th end of this, the fifth week of the parley. The fight was already on in earnest today. President Harding and Secretary Hughes were busy lining up their cohorts, preparatory to the effort to force ratification of the four-cornered Pacific treaty. There was every indication that "crusher tactics" would be attempted by the administration. This plan contemplates setting as an alternative to the fourlpower pact—which they say "makes it safe to disarm"—the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which makes it "unsafe for America to even think of disarming." MASKED MEN KILL FORMER CORK MAYOR DUBLIN, Dec. 12.—Former Mayor Meade of Cork was assassinated in his office today by armed and masked men. One of them was arrested. COLLEGE STUDENTS LEAVE FOR OXFORD PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 12.—Thirty-two college students of the United States, representing as many states and nearly as many institutions, have been elected to the Rhodes scholarships and will leave this country for Oxford University, England, in October, 1922. Included in the last of men chosen subject to ratification by the Rhodes trustees, was: Richard H. Barker, Leland Stanford University. Plain Dealer Want Ads get results. Christman to Face Girl's Employers LOS ANGELES, Dec. 12.—Geo. St. Jean, alias George Christian, who recently confessed to murdering Leona Grace Manfield in New York city last October, was taken to San Juan Capistrano by Deputy Sheriffs Harry Wright and Steve Strong today, where an attempt will be made to clear up the girl's identity and fully confirm St. Jean's confession to the murder. The officers recently learned that a woman by the name of Grace Maittland disappeared from Capistrano about the time stated in St. Jean's confession, and today's trip was for the purpose of having employees of the cafe where she worked identify the prisoner as her companion. The officers say that if St. Jean is identified as the man who left the city with her, no doubt will remain as to the truth of his confession and he will probably be turned over to the authorities of New York city for trial on a charge of murder.

Erbatein, according to her statements, was inclined to allow her to testify. There is nothing to prevent Mrs. Obenchain from being called to the stand by Burch's attorneys, but once before the jury she can refuse to testify under a section of the California penal code which provides that a co-defendant in a case cannot be compelled to testify against his or her will. Burch and his attorneys were undoubtedly disappointed by the decision to keep Mrs. Obenchain from the stand, as her story that Kennedy was killed by "two roughly dressed men" would be of tremendous value to his defense. 15th Chevrolet Auto Stolen and Recovered The Chevrolet car of Charles Bellas of near Fullerton, was stolen Saturday night and recovered last night shortly before midnight near the Anaheim Feed and Fuel Co., on W. Center-st. It is that that is was taken by joy-riders. This is the fifteenth Chevrolet car that has been stolen here since the first of November. All have been recovered.

Johnson and Beidleman, who gave them a lunch at the Johnson hotel yesterday. The show at Visalia comes nearer to being a true citrus exposition than anything attempted before in the San Joaquin valley, altho they have had annual exhibits of their resources for the last four years. The industrial section was well set forth and particular praise is due the management for the splendid automobile department which included almost every known American make. Of considerable interest in this department was the Durant car, now being manufactured in Oakland which looks a very sturdy piece of mechanism. Particular commendation is due the promoters of the Visalia show not only for the wonderful feature exhibits they have been able to bring into their venture, but also for the absolutely uniform quality of all the fruit displayed, whether in design or in competitive exhibits. The visitors from here found that Visalia navels are beautiful to look at, finely colored, and deliciously pleasant to the palate. No finer fruit has been seen in a California exposition, they say. The attendance at the Visalia Show promises to reach 30,000. Governor Stephens, who was to have opened the exposition Saturday evening, had to defer his com- until Wednesday, when he will give the whole to the business. The Visalia Elks put on "Dolly Dimples" under the same manage-ment as when produced at Anaheim some weeks since. This event was run in connection with the opening festivities of the Valley Citrus Fair. The show is promised good weather from present indications.

The jurors were cautioned against discussing the case and telling the number of ballots taken. It was feared such information might effect the trial of another charge against Gardner, pending. Gardner's counsel will retain the plea of insanity the next time the bandit is brought before a court, it was believed. 2 HURT HERE BY AUTOISTS SUNDAY H. S.
