ELLW 71, IN I HOSP Struck by Geor Local Realtor Blinded b James Ellwood of 71, is in the local seing from an acciden Saturday night in If Mabee Defeats Japanese Champ Tuesday Night, He May Meet Santel By SORGUM SPROUT A few years ago a sturdy Oklahoma farmer lad was marching directly to a world's wrestling championship of the 175-lb class, when an untimely accident put an end to his aspirations. Doctors said that never again could he don the togs and go on the mat to engage in the manly art of wrestling. Years went by. The breaks mended and the man felt like his old self again, but he remembered the doctor's verdict. But there came a time when the call was too strong and he began over again, and we now have the Rty Maybee of today. The old championship bee is again buzzing under his hat. A resume of his old record proves him to have been one of the cleanest, squarest sportsmen that ever stepped on a mat. Nowhere in the record is there the least shadow. Several critics went so far as to present him with tokens of their esteem for his good fellowship and clean sportsmanship. The records also prove him to be game to a fault. Once while wrestling Curly Miller, he secured two falls after having his knee pulled out of place. Time and again he has wrestled the country's best and gave them from 10 to 40 pounds. We all remember his great showing with Mondt; besides being ill with a severe cold, he gave away just 32 lbs. So we have no fear that Roy lacks nerve. If he is successful in tomorrow night's encounter with the great Miyake, and if the fans give him the necessary backing, there will be a championship match held in Jim in the very near future. As present Santel holds the honors of the 175-lb class; he has already signified his willingness to meet Roy and it is expected that he will challenge the winner of Tuesday's match. Santel will not come to Anaheim without a remunerative guarantee and it is up to the fans to prove their attendance tomorrow evening that they are behind Roy. The Jap is one tough bird, and will bring to play some of his knowledge of the mystic art of jujitsu. Roy had a little experience in that art years ago, when he wrestled the Austrian, Delivuk. Just how much he knows and how well he can guard against it will be shown Tuesday evening. Remember, if one of the big events of the sport world is to come to Anaheim, the fans must get behind and boost. Let's go tomorrow evening to see Roy Mabee lower the colors of the Pride of Japan. CO. OFFICIAL SAVES LIFE OF BATHER R. R. Miller, county probation officer, was the hero yesterday of a near-drowning at Divers' Cove, Laguna Beach. Altho he saved her life, Miller did not learn the name of a woman who was carried out beyond her depth by the very heavy seas that broke on the Orange-co coast all yesterday. The woman was wading when a large-breaker knocked her off her feet and she was pulled out into deep water. Willard batted its way to her side just as she became unconscious. He was able to grasp one hand and to support her until another breaker swept them toward the shore. It required 20 minutes to resuscitate her. Last week, at the same place, a breaker knocked a woman bather off her feet, throwing her against her husband with such force that her leg was broken. 4000 ENJOY GREAT S.O. BARBECUE SUN.

Benjamin and Newkirk Rotary Club Speakers Anaheim Rotarians, at their weekly lunchcon today, listened to short addresses by Horace Benjamin on banking, and Harris Newkirk on service. Mr. Benjamin told of the care that must be taken in making loans and of the supervision of the government over national banks. Dr. Newkirk dwelt on the Rotary motto: Jack Hayden, president of the Santa Ana Rotary club, and Roland Dye, Orange-co boy scout executive, also of Santa Ana, and Stanley Chapman, fullerton, were guests. Various rotary activities were discussed, especially the matter of a community service organization. It was the opinion of the rotary that Anaheim is not yet prepared for this kind of an organization. It was stated that so many things are being put on foot that it cannot keep them all going. The multiplicity of organizations would probably bring an over-lapping at the present time, but it is that later this may be prevented. BIELASKI TO QUIT MEX. MEXICO CITY, July 245. — A.

The Buick Government Plans to Operate Roads and Seize Mines and Output WASHINGTON, July 24.—Powerers almost as drastic as those used by the government during war time will be brought into play in dealing with the coal and rail strikes, it was believed here today. Issuance of an order declaring that the dual mine and rail strike constituted a national emergency within the meaning of the transportation act was expected from the intersaea commerce commission. Issuance of his decree would result in strong action being taken by the government to protect the public interest. The administration in the contemplated step is expected to treat the two emergencies as one. The plan contemplated by the government includes the following two steps: 1. Governmental direction of the railroads and control of the distribution and price of coal. 2. Seizure and operation of the mines. The patience of the President in his efforts to bring the warring factions in both strikes together has been exhausted and he feels it is his duty to take action, according to administration senators. The government's new and sweeping move will be made within two days, if the strikers and the employers do not manifest a willingness to settle their dispute, one leading republican senator said. Assurances have been given the executive that any additional powers needed can be voted by congress in the near future. One of the first steps under consideration is said to be priority orders for the shipment of coal to New England and the northwest where the shortage already is becoming acute. STATE TROOPS ARE FIXED UPON BY BANDS OS CHIPERS WITH THE MILITIA IN THE FIELD, COKESBURG, Pa., July 24. State troopers on duty here under President Harding's plan for resumption of operation of mines were fired upon by snipers at Denbo mine on the Monongahela river today.

The driver and his family were enroute home from a day at Long Beach. Heitzer failed to slow down when he approached the corner. The car was wrecked considerably. No one was seriously injured. Five autos figured in a wreck at the junction of Whittier-blvd and Telegraph-rd late Saturday evening when a Buick in which a young man and woman were riding was struck by a Chandler. The Buick was driving into Los Angeles and turned across the car tracks without warning the driver of the Chandler and was hit in the rear, turning it sideways.

While speeding from La Jolla to Hollywood at 8 a.m., today, he lost control of his car and overturned. Besides the fracture, he suffered painful bruises. State troopers on duty here under President Harding's plan for resumption of operation of mines were fired upon by snipers at the Denbo mine on the Monongahela river today. Several hundred shots fired in volleys at intervals came from different directions, according to Captain McLaughlin, commanding Troop E. No casualties were reported Sniping ceased following a house-to-house canvass by guardsmen. A frantic attempt to hasten fuel from the tri-state region in an effort to stave off the threatened famine met with only partial success. Scarcity of men to operate the mines forced delay. Strikebreakers are being rushed into the district by the carload, further endangering the already strained peace prevalent here. SECRET SERVICE AGENT RETIRES LOS ANGELES, July 24.—Bringing to a conclusion his 42 years of official life, United States Secret Service Agent William P. Walsh will retire on Aug. 1, according to an announcement made public today. His decision abruptly halts what is said to be one of the most eventful careers of men now in governmental service. Twenty-eight years of Walsh's experience were spent as secret service agent, confidential agent and as bodyguard to Presidents Grover Cleveland, William McKinley Jr., and Theodore Roosevelt. KAN.

LOS ANGELES, July 24.—Results of a chemical analysis of blood stains found on the automobile of Mrs. Alberta Meadows, in which she drove to the place on Montecito drive where she was beaten to death with a hammer on July 12, were awaited by the district attorney's office today. It was expected that the chemists' report would furnish an important link in the chain of evidence that is being forged in an effort to prove that Mrs. Clara Phillips was the slayer. In addition to blood stains found on the under side of the steering wheel, which the prosecution contends came from the gore-smeared hands of Mrs. Phillips, who is alleged to have driven away from the scene of the crime in her victim's car, partially obliterated, blood stains are said by Chief Deputy District Attorney William C. Doran to have been found on the right hand door of the automobile. An effort had evidently been made, Doran says, to wipe them off with a wet cloth, but they were plainly visible under a microscope. While the district attorney's office was devoting its attention to pleaching together evidence preparatory to the trial of Mrs. Phillips, which is set for Sept. 18, the sheriff's was guarding the "mystery girl" who says she sold the fatal hammer to Mrs. Phillips. The young girl, who confronted the accused woman when the latter made her second appearance in court to plead to the indictment against her, reported to Sheriff Trager that she had received an anonymous telephone call, threatening her if she did not keep out of the Phillips case. The sheriff's office believes that some person interested in preventing the girl's appearance as a witness at the trial was responsible for the threat. The girl is regarded as the most important of the prosecution's witnesses, excepting ony Mrs. Peggy Caffee, who told the grand jury that she was present and saw Mrs. Phillips beat to death the girl she believed to be her rival for the love of her husband. It was expected today that MacDonald & Thompson, attorneys for the defense, would carry into effect the plan they announced last Saturday of demanding the arrest of Mrs. Caffee as a material witness in the case. RECORD CROP OF WALNUTS THIS FALL All records in the production of walnuts are being broken this year. This is the joyful news that is being spread by W. T. Webber, sales manager of the California Walnut Growers Ass'n. He has just prepared the yearly crop estimate, and in it he predicts that this year's yield of walnuts in California will be 50 per cent heavier. While admitting that unusual weather conditions between now and the first of October might sharply alter his estimate, Mr. Webber is of the opinion that the Walnut harvest this fall will probably amount to 60,000,000 pounds. Under favorable market conditions, he believes that such a crop will bring from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000. In his opinion the present favorable outlook is due in a considerable degree to the heavy rains of the past winter and to the big dueting campaign which the growers staged in the five important walnut growing counties during June and July to destroy worms and phls. By cleaning up the groves in this manner, he asserts, the growers made possible for their trees to thrown their full vitality into development of the young walnuts, and excellent sizes are expected as a result. The association has just issued a trade circular in which it expresses the belief that the walnuts will be bigger and plumper than ever. There will be a heavier tonnage of large sized walnuts this year, Mr. Webber says, because a big acreage of budded trees is coming into bearing. Each year more and more budded trees begin producing. This raises the tonnage of big walnuts, and makes the California product more popular with the trade, he asserts, because the muddied nut has the thinnest shell and the whitest and plumpest kernel. GETS SIX MONTHS FOR PULLING GUN John Torres, a Mexican, 21, was arraigned before Judge Howard this morning on the charge of carrying concealed weapons. He was arrested by Bert Moody, police officer, after he had pulled the gun out of his pocket following words with Pete Leon at the home of Leon. He did not draw the gun on Leon, it is stated, but merely took it from his pocket. He was fined $10, and sentenced to six months in the county jail. Thief Flees While Police Are Sought A man whose name is not known is charged with having taken a dollar from the purse of Miss Myrtle Sequine of the Holland Electric Co. this morning. Miss Sequine returned from the rear room just in time to see him drop the purse. She stopped him, examined the purse and discovering a dollar missing charged him with taking it. He denied, but offered her a dollar if she that he took it. She went out to call a policeman and while she was gone the man got away. SEEK RUNAWAY YOUTH The local police were notified this morning that Redulph Heman of Olive 16, ran away from home this morning at 6 o'clock, driving a Ford touring car. The police are on the lookout for him if he shows up in Anaheim. Watch and jewelry repair, Witman's. THE THERMOMETER Maximum: 79 at 2 p.m. Minimum: 60 at midnight. Sunday: Maximum: 77½ at 2 p.m. Minimum: 58 at 1:30 a.m. The association has just issued a trade circular in which it expresses the belief that the walnuts will be bigger and plumper than ever. There will be a heavier tonnage of large sized walnuts this year. Mr. Webber says, because a big acreage of budded trees is coming into bearing. Each year more and more budded trees begin producing. This raises the tonnage of big walnuts, and makes the California product more popular with the trade, he asserts, because the muddied nut has the thinnest shell and the whitest and plumpest kernel. "Before many season," the circular declares, "we expect that more than half the tonnage will consist of budded walnuts." The crop was nearly a month late in setting last spring, according to an announcement by association officials, but favorable growing conditions have crowded it along so fast that it probably will be not more than a week or ten days late in maturing this fall. Shipments are expected to begin moving about the first of October. Forty-one packing houses will be operated by the associated growers this season. Many of these houses, Mr. Webber says, are being remodeled and enlarged to handle the large crop that is expected. The growers are to enjoy more favorable freight rates than they had last year, and a big saving in transportation costs is expected as a result. Walnut shipments will this year be given space in the "citrus specials" which are run on the fastest freight schedules. This, according to a statement to the trade, is expected to greatly facilitate the early delivery of California walnuts to the eastern markets. Golden State Motor Co. Reports Theft A Hupmobile touring car was reported stolen between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning from in front of 222 No. Clementine-st. The car belonged to the Golden State Motor Co.
