Davenport, prominent harbor city merchant, is one of the principal owners, and his crew of 20 men were rescued off the Mexican coast and landed at the Mexican port of Manzanillo by the steamer Katrina Luckenbach after abandoning their boat, according to radio dispatches received at the United States hydrographic office at San Francisco today.

Nieman and his clerks, Joshua Fishman and C. Cohen, were ordered to throw up their hands. Valuables were scooped out of the safe and from the show cases into a white bag, after which the robbers escaped. HODGES BACK IN TOWN FILM CO LOCAT CIT Representatives Feature Film Anaheim Lional Sterling, the Super Feature in Anaheim today. is general manager plan to establish within about six production of feature very high class, su sentation in church theatrical attractions. The corporation raised and expended LOS ANGELES, March 20. — Capt. Frank Laur of Los Angeles, commanding the steam schooner Fairhaven, of San Pedro, of which W. L. Davenport, prominent harbor city merchant, is one or the principal owners, and his crew of 28 men were recruited off the Mexican coast and landed at the Mexican port of Manzanillo by the steamer Katrina Luckenbach after abandoning their boat, according to radio dispatches received at the United States hydrographic office at San Francisco today. The radiogram stated that the Fairhaven had been abandoned by Capt. Laur and his crew in a water-logged condition and that she probably had sank. Although the radio message, which came from the Katrina Luckenbach, did not state the cause of the near disaster, it is believed that the Fairhaven, which was a wooden steam schooner of 766 net tons, had sprung a seam and that the crew had been unable to prevent the ship from taking water. The Fairhaven left Salinas Cruz on Mar. 3, according to a statement made at Mr. Davenport's home in San Pedro this morning, and it is believed that she sprung the leak while fighting the heavy seas that have been reported off the Mexican coast for the last three weeks. The message from the Katrina Luckenbach stated that among the crew was Robert Loughlin, ship's carpenter, of 636 Santa Clara avenue, Alameda, who was shipwrecked three months ago off the coast of Lower California and landed at a Mexican port after he had been rescued.

HOOVER SPEAKS AT POWELL MEMORIAL The managers of both the local associations of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, their directors and the directors of the Northern Orange Fruit Exchange and Orange County Citrus Exchange attended the memorial services this afternoon at the Morosco Theatre, Los Angeles, for the late C. Harold Powell, general manager of the state exchange. Those having tickets presented HODGES BACK IN TOWN TODAY Walter Hodges, salesman for the Golden State Motor Co., who was reported as having been arrested south of San Diego for preferring no-fund checks drawn on local banks, has returned to town and is now in custody. Hodges was in Los Angeles today, and could not be seen, but a former associate of Hodges declared that he had not been arrested; Mrs. Hodges said he had not been in jail. The motor company made no accusation against Hodges, and the report circulated that he had misappropriated funds which he had collected did not come from Hodge's employers. The latter merely said that he had neglected to turn in $40 or less when he had collected on time sold here, as the Plain Dealer stated on Saturday. Nor has the motor company intimated in any way an action would be brought against Hodges. So far as could be ascertained, no one else besides the motor company has had any connection with Hodges in a business way or has any reason to prosecute him. Neither did Hodges take orders and collect for certain Savage tires in San Diego as reported, but not published. Mrs. Hodges refused to discuss the matter further, and referred inquiries to Hodge himself. He is expected back from the metropolis this evening. All of Hodges associates here in the automobile business who were seen speak highly of his ability, and blame any indiscretion of Hodges on a weak habit which he has not altogether overcome.

German aircraft manufacturers decided after last year's books were closed and with practical philosophy they are beginning a campaign to that end. As a result of this Germany will be the first country where flying to one's destination will cost only a nominal sum more than getting there by train. This nominal addition will be 200 marks, or $1, and covers the expense of reaching and leaving airport station by automobile. These low prices will remain germans only but will be available to all comers. Thus American tourists instead of taking a ten hour train ride from Berlin to Munich will be able to make it in seven hours, including several long stops for sight seeing, all for $6.

STREAM PROVES TO BE NATURE FREAK NEW YORK, March 18.—A small stream called Bear Creek, flowing from the giaciers of Mount Adams, near Husum, Wash., is a freak. It plays hide and seek along its course, through the forest, slipping into a cave here, a crevice there and reappearing below a full fledged rivulet. Its bed is ice coated nearly the entire year; on the surface rocks float and in the water logs sink. The water is bright yellow in one place, red in another and light bluing when it flows into the Columbia river. Bear Creek, differing from other streams, freezes at the bottom first instead of the surface. This is caused by a rocky formation, similar to a corrugated washboard, retarding the movement of the water, forcing the surface to move swifter. In this way air bubbles are shot downward, carrying freezing temperatures, and ice forms. Often in winter the stream flows while the bed is solid ice. LOUISIANA ISLAND IS MADE OF SALT NEW ORLEANS, Mar. 20.—Cote Blanche, an island on the south Louisiana coast, has been found to be virtually an island of salt, according to information reaching here. The island is one of a series of several containing valuable salt deposits and excluding Avery's site of one of the world's largest salt mines. Cote Blanche is owned by Donelson Caffery, New Orleans lawyer, and the heirs of J. M. Burgueleres, wealthy planter. Local genealogists say that the discovery proves a century-old contention that the chain of islands was formed by the expansion of vast saline deposits. The Avery's island store was discovered by accident in the Civil war. In recent years, both oil and gas have been bought on the insular chain, among the episodes being expenditure of a million dollars by John W. Gates upon a mine which accidentally was tunneled into the sea and drowned out.

These men plan to establish a studio here within about six months for the production of feature films of a very high class, suitable for presentation in churches as well as theatrical attractions. The corporation has already raised and expended $50,000 on the production of a five-reel travelog of Palestine which has just completed a four weeks' run at Tally's theatre, Los Angeles. The film is to be colored by the Handschlegl Artcolor Process, the finest method known, and will be road-showed at both churches and theatres. It is planned to have upwards of 100 copies out at a revenue of $200 to $500 each per week. The proceeds from these will be used for the erection of the Anaheim studio. To be shown with the Holyland feature, the corporation plans to show a 500 or 1000-foot film of Anaheim and Orange-co as the home of the studio. "It is our desire to get outside of Los Angeles, and become located in Anaheim as soon as possible," said Sterling. MOONSHINE RIOT IN L. A.

Social workers at La Habra have voted $100 from the Red Cross fund and businessmen and other residents of the community have made subscriptions so that about $500 will be turned over to the family. THANATOPSIS IS READ AT FUNERAL MANSFIELD, Ohio, March 20.—All religious rites were forbidden at the funeral of Henry J. Hess, 71, LEGION EMPLOYMENT DAY Today is American Legion employment Day. Know what it means? Somebody says it means "Say it with jobs," "Say it with bouquets" being a chestnut with the ex-service men now. The plight of the jobless veteran is a problem which every post of the Legion is trying to solve. William Goodrum, Commander of Anaheim Post, is listing the names of ex-service men out of jobs and of employers who have jobs and trying to bring the two parties together. In the case of men partly disabled, the heartlessness of not giving the men even a chance to earn a living is especially evident, says the Legion. More than a year ago, the Legion in its public announcement says the Sweet Bill was enacted, and steps were taken to co-ordinate the agencies caring for the disabled. The hospital appropriation then went through, if nothing else. But that did not suffice. It doesn't matter what the job is nor whether it is temporary or permanent, though permanent jobs are preferable, because they settle the question for the men who get them once and for all. Clean-up work, painting, lawn mowing, in fact any odd jobs will be acceptable. This is spring, and there should be a great deal of such work. Anaheim post has done remarkable work under Commander William P. Webb, Jr., County Commander, but not all the ex-service men are affiliated with the post, although most of those who are affiliated have been looked after. Anyhow, men constant- GOV.

The supply is exhausted, now, however, and the Plain Dealer is sorry it will be unable to supply any other callers.

WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAMEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR AIN JURY SEEK TO LEARN WHAT HAPPENED AT VOTING LOS ANGELES, March 20.—An investigation of what was termed the "stubborn stand" of the three jurors who held out for acquittal for Madalynne Obenchain, tried for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was begun today by operatives of the district attorney's office following the discharge of the jury in the case by Superior Judge Reeve as hopelessly deadlocked. Statements to show exactly what happened in the jury room, how and why the three "irreconcilables" as they were called, held out steadfastly for acquittal, were sought from the nine jurors who voted for conviction. Several of the jurors who voted Mrs. Obenchain guilty were scheduled to appear at the district attorney's office for conferences with Premier Warns of Too Much Ambition CRICCIETH, Wales, March 20.—A warning against excessive ambition was sounded by Premier Lloyd George today in a speech to a group of children who called upon him at his vacation re- Statements to show exactly what happened in the jury room, how and why the three "irreconcilables" as they were called, held out steadfastly for acquittal, were sought from the nine jurors who voted for conviction. Several of the jurors who voted Mrs. Obenchain guilty were scheduled to appear at the district attorney's office for conferences with District Attorney Woolwine and Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes. Reports that the jurors who voted for conviction claimed that the three who voted for acquittal were "stubborn," "adamant to reason" and "prejudiced" were responsible for the investigation. It was reported that one of the two women jurors who held out for acquittal was introduced to "Steady Ralph" Obenchain before the trial and that the other said she was never asked if she opposed capital punishment, a question invariably put to all prospective jurors by the prosecution. Mrs. Obenchain, who expressed herself as "amazed" at the standing of the jury, will appear before Judge Reeve tomorrow morning for the setting of the date of her retrial. Mrs. Obenchain's case probably will be transferred to another court, as the retrial of Arthur Burch, co-defendant, will begin in Judge Reeve's court next Monday. With Mrs. Obenchain's case transferred it is probable that her retrial and that of Burch will be in progress at the same time. There is no way Mrs. Obenchain can escape a second trial," District Attorney Woolwine announced when he arrived at his office this morning. "She will be tried again for the protection of society." Woolwine declined to make any comment on the investigation of the jury in Mrs. Obenchain's case. OFFER REWARD FOR ARREST OF THIEF A reward of $25 is offered by J. F. Guthrie, Anaheim R. F.

SEEK MOVIE ROBBERS IN NEARBY TOWNS LOS ANGELES, March 20. — City and county authorities cooperated today in searching for "two gentlemen" Premier Warns of Too Much Ambition CRICCIETH, Wales, March 20. —A warning against excessive ambition was sounded by Premier Lloyd George today in a speech to a group of children who called upon him at his vacation retreat. After pointing out that "the mountain of fame has great responsibility and is altogether an unenviable spot," the premier added: "The higher you climb the colder and lonelier it becomes. You are exposed to every attack of the elements. Also, it is necessary to deny yourself the comforts of peaceful home life." The premier jokingly referred to himself as being "in drylock." He is recuperating from illness. TUES. LAST DAY TO FILE FOR COUNCIL At 12 o'clock tomorrow the doors are closed on the filings of nomination papers for the city council election April 10.
