William S. Hart, two-gun man of the movie world, made this declaration today in commenting on the separation from his wife, the former Miss Winifred Westover. Mr. Hart insisted that he has always practiced in private life due chivalrous part he plays for the silver sheet. Never has he harmed woman, he said. Never could he do so. ROTARY POOL BLOCK Union Water Company posed swimming pool Club has been refused ny.

When the new term begins, Sept. 1, students of the Anaheim Union High School will be greeted by their new plunge, the first swimming tank to be constructed at a high school in Orange county. Elaborate plans are being made for the grand opening of the tank. Celebrated swimmers will be secured and races and stunts arranged. The new tank is amply large enough to accommodate the aquatic needs of the high school for all time. It measures 75 to 35 feet and will contain from 3 to 8 feet of water. There will be diving stands, spring-fed and other apparatus. The work of excavating for the plunge was started the middle of July and in slightly over three weeks the walls and floor-foundations were made. William Poulston and his gang of unexcelled Mexican mixers were on the job at five yesterday morning, and the speed with which they poured the concrete was amazing. It was extremely desirable to have the walls poured as a unit in order to get an absolutely watertight job and for this reason the men worked from early morning until the task was completed in the late afternoon. Five high school boys also assisted with the concrete work. They were on the job from the time the first earth was turned. Everyone was ready for a swim when the last batch of concrete was poured. The trustees are debating on several methods by which the plunge and the high school can be supplied with water most economically. The plunge itself will hold about 100,000 gallons, and the growing school's needs are big items for consideration. PRIZE IS OFFERED FOR BEST SLOGAN Fullerton wants a slogan for its Armistice day celebration, and it is willing to pay for any suggestions that you may have to offer. Ten dollars in gold will be the award for the best slogan selected by the executive committee of the Orange county Armistice Day celebration, headquarters Room 12, Farmers and Merchants National Bank building, Fullerton. At a meeting of the committee this week tentative plans for the celebration were discussed. Fullerton has been selected as the place for this year's celebration by the unanimous vote of all the American Legion Posts in Orange county, as well as the civic, fraternal and church organizations, which participated in the celebrations of previous years. In order that the slogan accepted may be generally used in the advertising campaign for the celebration, it is urged that all suggestions be sent to Room 12, Farmers and Merchants. RACE CRAFT SAILING FASTER Stiffer Breeze Helps Competitors; "Sir Tom" Likely Victor With a stiffer breeze than they have encountered perhaps at any time since the event opened, competitors in the races of the annual regatta of the Southern California Yachtting Association off Balboa were able to make better time today. Ed that Ted Geary's Sir Tom of Seatafternoon, it was universally conceded that Ted Geary's Sir Tom of Seattle again would show his or her heels to the Particia of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and other rivals in the $4500 international race for the Sir Joseph Isherwood trophy. The only thing preventing, barring accident, would be a high wind, which, it is said, would favor Frank Garbutt's California. The Sir Tom already has won the two heats staged Tuesday and Wednesday, and her time is improving. Alvin Frank's Lucky Strike won the heat today in the 610 cubic inch displacement boat race in 36 minutes 27 seconds. Ralph Hamlin's Jaker, Arthur Powell's Rainbow II and Brooks' Gifford's La Reine were other competitors. The time of the winner averaged 30 miles per hour. Last evening the Woofel Birds put on a stunt which was the scream of the entertainment features. In the midst of the dance at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club these birds brought in a coffin from which, after a proper interval, a sister of Eve who much resembled her in style, emerged and gave an exhibition dance. The applause was vociferous. Late yesterday in the Q class the Active of Santa Barbara Yacht club beat Paul Jeffers' Wasp by a hair. In the P. class the Gretchen of the San Diego Yacht club headed A. G. Maddock's Mischief I over the 12 mile course by nine minutes, but the latter's handicap gave her the victory. Continued on Page Three E. T.

An intensive and extensive campaign in all orange-growing counties of the State will be started soon by the California FFrFruit Growers Exchange to increase its membership among the citrus fruit growers, it was announced today following the weekly meeting of the directors late yesterday in Los Angeles. Details of the drive are still to be worked out, but attention will be directed to the growers only, and not to associations affiliated with organizations like the Mutual Orange Distributors, which already enjoy the benefits of cooperation. The advantages of cooperative marketing, in ensuring a market at reasonable prices, will be pointed out to the growers. This will be the first time the exchange ever has put on such a campaign. The membership of the exchange and its subordinate associations has been increasing steadily for years. Only a week ago the Benchley Fruit Company of Fullerton, one of the largest independents in the county, joined the exchange. County Auditor William C. Jerome, just issued indicates.

FAVOR GOVERNMENT FORMING IN SIBERIA TOKIO, Aug. 10.—That the United States, Great Britain and Japan will recognize immediately a democratic government which is said to be forming in Siberia, was a report here today. EDDY AND AHLSTROM (By The Mysterious Cowboy) Over in South Lemon street is a splendid establishment, the most thorough and best equipped of its kind, that I have ever seen. It is figuratively speaking, a modiest shop for automobiles. It is called The Auto Paint and Top Shop, and the partners and chief dressmakers are Mr. H. E. Eddy and Mr. Chas. M. Ahistrom. How often it is that automobile owners will look with some sense of embarrassment upon the shabby and disfigured condition of their cars. Once the thing was attired in neat lustre and they were proud of it, but now it has become a ragged companion and they are almost ashamed to be seen with it. To alter this negligence of order, and neatness, a course must be adopted much like that of sending one's clothes to a cleaners. In an institution of the kind of The Auto Paint and Top Shop, it will be decked out in new and practicable finery and again we will travel together with it, proud of the fine possession and appreciative of the efficient workmanship which has contributed so largely to the transformation. In looking over the premises it will be noted that each line of work is operated under a separate and distinct department. Mr. Mills, a very competent man in his profession has charge of all of the paint jobs; Mr. Ahistrom lends his fine talents to the business of top repair and the installation of new tops; another department will clean the car and remove from it with the up-to-date steam cleaning system, first the dirt, by one process and secondly, the paint and all of the paint without any use of sanding. This shop employs the only steam cleaning system in this section for the thorough preparation to receive a new paint. Painting autos of any description; auto top repairing; auto top building: body covering; California sliding glass tops installed—these are the features of this fine business concern and they are all carried out with admirable efficiency. And they are prompt workers, witness the completion of a California Top job within ten days or a paint job in less than five days. It is a busy place, a big shop—I suppose the largest in town and then there is the fine dust proof room where the newly painted auto is so carefully guarded against the flying dirt of the air. The business office is under the able supervision of Mr. Homer Eddy, who is efficiently assisted by the Misses Weber and McKinney as bookkeeper and stenographer. In addition to his many office duties, Mr. Eddy finds time to devote with an owner in aiding and supplying them with the most practical and serviceable ideas for renewing the appearance of their automobile. ealer ANGE COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 $1,254,375 No. of Permits 862 Year 1920 879,960 No. of Permits 504 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR IPED OUT VALUES UP 5 ONS Jail Woman, 77, As Pickpocket PARIS, Aug. 10.—Seventy-seven years old, Louise Drouin was arrested on a charge of pocket picking. Police say she was caught stealing a purse containing about $1.50. Interrogation disclosed that Madame Drouin, known in her neighborhood as a respectable aged widow, owns several Paris business buildings. Coupons of bonds worth at least $20,000 were found in her possession. TWO KILLED, ONE DYING IN L.A. Band Same One Which Attacked Her, Girl Victim Declares FALKENSTEIN BACK FROM EUROPE LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—While the executive leader of a bandit gang exterminated by deputy sheriffs crouched sullenly in his cell today, refusing to reveal the name of the "queen" of the bandit gang, and while two of the desperadoes lay bullet-shattered and dead in the morgue and another was dying in the county hospital, preparations were made by the police to confront the leader with a girl who says it was the gang that, early yesterday morning, attacked her on Los Felix road. FALKENSTEIN BACK FROM EUROPE "There's no place like home and I am heartily glad to be back in So. Cal., and particularly in Anaheim." So in effect declared William Falkenstein, local business man, who with his wife has just returned from a four months' trip to Europe, where they were on tour principally in Germany and Switzerland. Falkenstein said that the trip was entirely without accident. As to the economic condition of Europe, he said it was not very good at present, and that assistance was greatly needed. The industrial situation is at a low ebb. Falkenstein spent about three months on the continent, setting sail from New York on April 15 for Bremen, Germany. His boat stopped at Plymouth, England, and Cherbourg, France. Landing at Bremen about 10 days after setting sail from New York, he and Mrs. Falkenstein visited various parts of German, taking in the largest cities, including Berlin and Frankfurt-on-the-Rhine. He also stopped at Coblenz. From Germany, they went to Switzerland, visiting Basel. When ready to return home, they embarked at Hamburg, Germany, July 22, and in 10 days landed in New York, without stopping anywhere en route. They sailed on U.S. shipping board vessels both going and coming, and praised very highly the accommodations. On their trip to Europe, they sailed aboard the ship America of the United States line, and on their return aboard the vessel Manchuria of the American, formerly the Hamburg, line. When told that the Kiwanians had at their recent meeting planned a home-coming reception luncheon for him, he expressed his gratitude that the home folks should think so much of him. He appreciated being back among them just the same, he said, even without these demonstrations of regard. He got back last night, and has not been much at the store today, merely going down to say "Hello," as it were, to his employees. But he expects to be "back in the harness" within a few days, all the more appreciative of Anaheim for having seen so much of the outside world. He opened a buyers' office in New York during his trip. TWO ARE DEAD IN MYSTERY TRAGEDY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10. While the executive leader of a bandit gang exterminated by deputy sheriffs crouched sullenly in his cell today, refusing to reveal the name of the "queen" of the bandit gang, and while two of the desperadoes lay bullet-shattered and dead in the morgue and another was dying in the county hospital, preparations were made by the police to confront the leader with a girl who says it was the gang that, early yesterday morning, attacked her on Los Feliz road. The girl, who gave the name of Mary Morrison and also of Margaret Sullivan, is said to be the same who threw the courtroom of Judge Frederick W. Houser into an uproar late yesterday during the trial of the Ku Klux case by screaming that she wanted to "see a kleagle," and that she must tell her story. Before he "closed up" and refused to talk any more, J. W. Gilkye, the bandit leader, told the officers, they said, that there were six other members of the gang, in addition to the five who were engaged in the attempted robbery that ended with the death of two of them, the fatal wounding of a third, the capture of the leader and the escape of the fifth. The six, however, it was said, were but minor operators—men who staged the little "jobs." It was learned by the officers, according to Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff Al Manning, that the "queen" of the bandit gang is the pretty girl with yellow bobbed hair, who had figured twice recently in the hold-up of oil stations. It is she, the officers say, who planned the "jobs" staged by her male companions, and who is believed to be the brains of the "mob." The battle that resulted in the practical annihilation of what is said to be one of the most desperate gangs of gunmen and robbers that ever terrorized the country was staged late last night at the plant of the Union Ice Co., 660 South Alameda street. When the smoke of battle had blown away two men lay dead, a third was dying and the leader of the robbers was shackled with handcuffs. The dead were: Kenneth Flennor, gunman. Reeves, alias "Big Dick," alias "Lefty Louis the Second." Dying: Ed Burton, murderer and gunman. Captured: J. W. Gilkye, gunman and leader of the gang. The capture or killing of the bandits had been carefully planned by the sheriff's men, who had prepared an ambush for them into which the bandits walked unsuspectingly. One of the outstanding figures of heroism in the roar of sawed-off shot-guns and crack of pistols was a youth barely 20 years old of age who indifferent to the imminent danger of death, sat calmly in the office as a decoy to lure the bandits to their destruction. He got back last night, and has not been much at the store today, merely going down to say "Hello," as it were, to his employes. But he expects to be "back in the harness" within a few days, all the more appreciative of Anaheim for having seen so much of the outside world. He opened a buyers' office in New York during his trip. TWO ARE DEAD IN MYSTERY TRAGEDY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.— After killing his wife by shooting her in the head today, W. R. Beam, a visitor from Carnegie, Pa., committed suicide by cutting a vein in his left wrist and slashing his throat with a razor. The two bodies fell near each other in the bathroom. The pair was dead when persons, aroused by the sound of the shots, reached their sides, according to a police report. Mystery surrounded the motive for the double tragedy. It was said that Beam was known to have often used intoxicants and to have threatened his wife on occasions. KEE ESTATE LETTERS ARE PETITIONED FOR Twenty acres of land comprise most of the estate, valued at $20,000, in Buena Park of the late James B. Kee, for which the widow, Jane B. Kee, petitioned for letters of administration thru her attorney. The rest of the estate consists of personal property and cash. Kee died Aug. 5. The heirs include C. H. Kee of Healdsburg, Eleanora B. Kee of Santa Anan, Ormiston Kee of Buena Park and Charlotte I. Cornwell of Turlock. FRUIT SALES TODAY Philadelphia: Good orange and lemons unchanged, oranges $3.00 to $10.00; lemons $3.00 to $3.70.

One of the outstanding figures of heroism in the roar of sawed-off shotguns and crack of pistols was a youth barely 20 years of age who, indifferent to the imminent danger of death, sat calmly in the office as a decoy to lure the bandits to their destruction. He was Ed. Rathman, night bookkeeper of the Union Ice Co. MOOSE TO INSTALL OFFICERS TONIGHT The Loyal Order of Moose will be launched with a bang at a meeting to be held tonight. Officers will be installed and the local lodge organization completed under the auspices of the Greater Los Angeles Lodge No. 134. The charter is said to have arrived.

Mr. Blakeley is expected to return Friday, and regular preaching services are to be held Sunday. TOUR TO RANCH James E.
