And tell his experience in eternity during those five hours. That was the remarkable proposition made by L. G. Weckbaugh to local medicos, but which met with opposition from them as well as the city and county authorities. Weckbaugh, in his unusual offer, proposed to go before a board of surgeons and submit to an operation for the stopping of his heart action. At the end of five hours, adrenaline, the newly discovered "life fluid", was to be injected in an effort to restore his life. Weckbaugh was then to tell of the experience of "dying." "The act of stopping a man's heart would be to kill him, and that of itself would constitute manslaughter," said Chief Deputy District Attorney Ann Kerns.

The contestants include Mrs. Louise Royer, the widow, and her son and daughter, Max Royer and Mrs. Amstutz.

HOLD UP PROVISO (By International News Service) Amplifier Here Would Permit Thousands to Listen to Chief Executive President Harding may officially open the third annual California Valencia Orange show from Washington, D. C., if the necessary arrangements can be made, it was announced today. Herman Stern, chairman of the Orange Show executive committee, today took steps to request the president to speak the word that would throw open the gates of the 1923 exposition to the Southland. If the consent of the president can be secured, the ceremony will be held by radio. President Harding will speak into the powerful naval radio transmitting station at Washington and the message will be caught by a powerful receiving set to be installed at the main entrance. A voice magnifying device will be attached which will enable a large portion of Anaheim to hear the president's message. This will be the first time in history that such an exposition has ever been opened by the president of the United States by radio. The ceremony will be so timed that it will take place in Anaheim as the regular opening hour, 11 o'clock. It will be approximately 5 o'clock in Washington when the president speaks. Immediately upon the conclusion of his talk, the gates will be thrown open. No visitors will be allowed inside until the completion of the brief address. Hundreds of thousands of radio fans in all parts of North America will participate in the opening ceremonies, if these arrangements can be made. The Washington D. C., naval radio station is capable of transmitting as far as the Hawaiian islands and those with more powerful receiving sets will hear the president's words. In addition his voice will be heard in some parts of Canada, virtually all of Mexico and a large portion of South America. Vessels of two creeans will hear the message of welcome. The only thing that can mar the possibility of the President participating in the opening is his absence from Washington or the press of state business. He is contemplating a tour of the United States and while no definite date for his departure has yet been set, he may leave before May 2, the opening date. In that case the ceremony will not be held. However, Stern and other members of the committee are caring for this contingency and in the event that the president does not officiate, Governor Richardson or some personal representative of his may be personally on the grounds.
