6 St. Louis Bandits' Loot May Run Into Six Figures
St. Louis, April 2.—Six men in an auto held up a government mail truck at 8:20 a.m. today and escaped with nine registered mail pouches containing large sums of money.
The robbery occurred in the downtown district.
Adrian T. Dorlac, messenger, and Edward M. Cunningham, chauffeur were in command of the truck. Both were armed with .45 calibre pistols.
According to both, the robbers drove up from the rear and covered them before they had a chance to reach of their guns.
Two bandits jumped from their machine and levelled guns at them. One robber carried a revolver in each hand while the other leveled a sawed-off shotgun at the driver of the truck.
Four of the bandits remained seated in their machine, each armed with sawed-off shotguns.
The bandits then directed Cunningham to drive toward the river front and when within a block of the river, commanded the chauffeur to turn into an alley.
The bandits assembled and dismed their plans.
After unloading the nine poches, Dorlac and Cunningham were placed in the cage of the truck and locked.
The imprisoned man escaped not after the bandits had made their escape but they failed to attract attention for several minutes.
A negro heard their cries and ran to the scene. It was discovered that the bandit shad failed to fastend the lock on the truck.
The truck was driven to the police station where the robbery was reported.
The mail was to have been divided between the Bridge and Cupples stations. The Bridge station serves the city's commission houses while the latter is located in the manufacturing district.
The mail for both stations at this time of the month always carries large sums of money, according to PA Office authorities.
While the exact amount cannot be determined for some time, it was said that it could be expected to run into six figures.
COUNTY HOSPITAL DOCTOR SPEAKER
Anaheim Rotary club today was saying that the former Kaiser and his new bride, Princess Hermine, had separated, repeated the declaration today.
He claims the break took place some time ago, but was kept a secret from the German royalists for fear it would embarrass the monarchist organizers.
According to the Yorkshire Post correspondent, the former German emperor was unable to get on friendly terms with the children that his second wife had by her former marriage, and that his own children have become more or less estranged by reason of his second marriage.
Dispatches from other sources said the wife had gone to her ancestral home in Silesia to spend Easter with her children by her first marriage.
CHICAGO ON TOES TO ELECT MAYOR
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN
(L N. S. Staff Correspondent)
CHICAGO, April 2.—Which: William E. Dever or Arthur C. Leuder?
One of these men will be elected mayor of Chicago tomorrow succeeding William Hale Thompson whose spectacular handling of the office made him a national figure.
Thompson, a Republican, and the builder of one of the greatest political machines ever put together—not excepting Tammany hall—is preparing to drop out of politics.
There was some betting but not much. Dever was a heavy favorite.
The majority of political leaders picked Dever to win. Straw voter conducted by newspapers have all favored Dever.
Interest is running so high that it was predicted today that 800,000 voters would go to the polls.
DELAY SHIPPING OF VALENCIAS A WEEK
Shipment of valencias will be postponed at least a week because of market conditions. Florida and other oranges have not moved as rapidly as had been anticipated.
The rain at least in the Anaheim district, is not a factor. Only in a limited number of orchards is the ground too badly rain soaked to make picking difficult.
Prices are good, but will improve with the supply cut more nearly to demand, it is declared.

Wild Banditry Flares up in Middlewest
By International News Service
Banditry that fully equalled deeds on the wild U. P. trail and the hard-boiled Yukon flared up in the metropolitan middle west today out of the smoke of barking .45's and red spitting shotguns.
Loot whose value was estimated in the hundreds of thousands was obtained by six outlaws who held up a St. Louis mail truck at dawn. This followed a spectacular ride on a Chicago, and Alton mail train 100 miles distant, where shooting resembling a miniature Custer massacre preceded the theft of six mail sacks.

Officer-Nearly Shoots One-Armed Man Who Holds Gun Under Stump
Emil Rodriguez, one arm might have cost him his life Saturday in a booze raid in Stanton by the Sheriff's men and their ales, when he failed to throw both arms up at the command of Deputy Sheriff J. H. Ryan. Ryan says Rodriguez was holding the gun under the stump. Six Mexicans were arrested and several barkers of booze and man confiscated in the raid, which was one of the biggest ever conducted in the County.
The six were locked up today, following preliminary examination before Justice J. B. Cox.
The men held are: Rodriguez, who was given 90 days on a charge of carrying concealed weapons; Theodore Hernandez, who was given his choice of a fine of $260 or 180 days in County Jail, after pleading guilty to the charge of transporting liquor; Timotello Seratto, $360 fine or 180 days for possession of liquor; Thomas Ramirez, liquor in his possession, arraignment May 15 at two p.m.; Theodore Guereir, transporting liquor, pleaded not guilty, May 15 three p.m.; and Alexander Torres, liquor in possession, pleaded guilty, $360 or 180 days.
Six officers composed the raiding party: Deputies Jesse Elliott, Ed McClellan, Joe Murrill and H. W. McKagus, Motorcycle officer Louis Heffer and Special Detective Yoder of Santa Ana.
"We surrounded 'em" said Ed McClellan. Deputy Ryan had to put his 45 calibre pistol against Rodriguez to make him yield. The latter's gun is an ugly old-fashioned 38 Colt, equal to the size of the present 45 calibre, it is said. The gun and a Ford touring car used to transport the liquor were confiscated besides the still and its outfit.
Ramirez tried to drop some of the liquor from the car and unbeknown to him, it is said. Detective Yoder caught a bottle before it dropped. Seratto, loaded with booze in every pocket, tried to run away, but was captured before he could go far.
HARDING RELIES ON RESULTS OF HIS WORK
(By International News Service)
BOSTON, April 2.—Secretary of Labor J. Davis today fired the opening gun of the Republican presidential campaign.
Speaking before the Women's Republican club, Davis declared that President Hardie is a poor
of barking .45's and red spitting shotguns.
Loot whose value was estimated in the hundreds of thousands was obtained by six outlaws who held up a St. Louis mail truck at dawn. This followed a spectacular ride on a Chicago and Alton mail train 100 miles distant, where shooting resembling a miniature Custer massacre preceded the theft of six mail sacks.
In each instance the desperadoes were killers believed to be members of St. Louis and Chicago gangs, whose murder and thievery extend to Kansas City, the Springfieldsof Missouri and Illinois and other cities.
HARDING TO DEPEND FOREIGN POLICIES
By GEORGE R. HOLMES
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 2 — President Harding is planning a frank appeal to the country to support the foreign policy of his administration.
The speeches he will deliver on his western tour this summer will be defense of the foreign policies during the last two years. Presentation of the administration's record in foreign affairs is expected to be based on three principle cornerstones: What has been done in the Far East; In Latin America, and in Europe?
In Latin America; the recent central American conference, at which republics of the south agreed to stop the continual petty warfare of the last quarter of a century, will be pointed to as a tremendous step in the direction of permanent peace. American mediation of the dispute between Pern and Chile and between Costa Rica and Panama, will be dwelt upon.
The European policy of the administration is looked upon by the president's advisers as worthy of presentation.
CONDUCTOR WRECKS CAR; MANY INJURED
(By International News Service)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—Eleven persons were injured today when a Market-st railway company street car overturned at Bryant and Elenth.
The conductor had sighted and abrown the switch but failed to hold it until the rear trucks passed over. The car overturned striking a telephone hook.
The passengers were treated at Mission E emergency hospital. All will recover. George Hogan had an ankle fractured and E. Donigan, John Hand were of barking .45's and red spitting shotgums.
Is it going to be next December, when Congress re-convenes, that Anaheim will know who is going to succeed Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn, or will there be a Postmaster pro tenn appointed, as suggested by Congressman Phil Swing as a possibility? The eight or more candidates would like to know.
The eight took the examinations last October, and no word has reached here yet regarding who were the three highest.
Earl R. Abbey, secretary of the Republican-co Central Committee told today he didn't know any more about the matter than he did months ago.
Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn made arrangements several weeks ago to give up the office.
GET DESCRIPTION OF CHECK WRITER
An even dozen "no good" checks ranging from $25 to $57, have poured into the Fullerton Standard Bank from the bad check artist against whom merchants were warned last week. The last one, cashed by an Anaheim merchant Saturday night after banks closed was for $36.25. The man bought a lady's dress to have an excuse for cashing the check.
A description was obtained of the men which it is that will enable other merchants to recognize him should he attempt the 13th check. He said to be about 40, weighs about 200, has black curly hair and woo khaki pants and leather puttees when presenting the check. He was a companion by a woman and baby.
KING TUT TOMB'S EXPLORER RALLIE
HARDING RELIES ON RESULTS OF HIS WORK
BOSTON, April 2.—Secretary of Labor J. Davis today fired the opening gun of the Republican presidential campaign.
Speaking before the Women's Republican club, Davis declared that because President Harding "is a poor advertiser" and had refused thus far to "sell" his administration to the country, it is necessary for his friends to go out and do it for him."
Davis said that Mr. Harding's plans "seem to be worrying many of our people" and that every newspaper man he had talked to for months had wanted to know what they were.
President Harding is an indefatigable worker and accomplishes tremendous results. He is not the man to do his work to the tune of a brass band.
When I have sought to point out the campaign of 1924 and that a hit advertising for the administration would do no harm, he has told me he is no showman. He is spending his time working for the people of the United States.
SELECT 3 PLATS FOR EXPERIMENTS
Three plats, at Lorba, Placentia and Irvine were selected today by the County Farm Bureau on which the U. S. Dept., of Agriculture, and U. of C. extension service will conduct experiments to control the tomato blight. M. Shapovalov was sent to the coast by Washington for the purpose.

LOS ANGELES, April 2.—Rosa Florez, formerly a "bar-maid" in a Spring-st. soft drink establishment, was sought by Los Angeles-co. deputy sheriffs today in the investigation of the murder of Nunzio Spamina whose mutilted body was found near Fullerton.
The officers sought to investigate the girl when they learned that Spamina, angered by her marriage to Phillip Florez several months ago, stabbed her in the back. Spamina at one time conducted a soft drink stand in Spring street where the girl worked and the deputies learned that he became infatuated with her.
Marks of High-heeled Shoes at Spot of Terrific Struggle
A woman participated in the murder of Nunzio Spamina, Los Angeles cafe owner whose mutilated body was found in a ravine on the Emery ranch six miles northwest of Fullerton according to discoveries made today by Deputy sheriffs.
The marks of a woman's high-heeled shoe were found near the body and the condition of the ground near by showed that a terrific struggle took place before Spamina was chopped down by his enemy or enemies who wielded a lather's hatchet. The evidence discovered disclosed that a woman at least witnessed the murder and perhaps participated in it, the authorities declared.
Revenge is thought to have been the motive of the crime as money and other valuables on the dead man's person were untouched.
Spamina was a fugitive from justice, having been arrested a short time ago on a charge of manslaughter growing of the death of Edward Ruiz in Los Angeles when he engaged in a fight with Ruiz over Miss Bernice Mickey.
Spamina was arraigned in court last Thursday and held to the superior court, but walked out of the court room and escaped from his guards when his ball was set at $10,000.
Two Mexican boys found the body while hunting. The skull was crushed, both ears severed from the head and other marks which showed the murderer rained blows upon his victim in a murderous free.
Francisco de la Luz and Joe Frias Mexican boys of about 12, of the Emory ranch, were given credit today for finding the mutilated body which was wrapped in a blanket near a small stream. Death is believed to have taken place about six a.m. Sunday. Sheriff Sam Jernigan, Under-sheriff E. E. French and Deputy Ed McClellan, and Officers Yates and Wood of Fullerton went to the scene.
The body was found about 3 p.m. yesterday and was removed to the McAulay funeral parlor about 4 o'clock, where it has been positively identified by bondsmen. There are 12 hatchet wounds.

(By International News Service)
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—Fruit and grain growers, livestock and poultry raisers and dairymen were rejoicing today over a $100,000,000 rain which fell over the week-end.
