MINER’S HEAD FACED BY SERIOUS CHARGE PITTSBURGH, June 7.—Alexander Howat, of Pittsburgh, Kan., former president of Kansas district, United Mine Workers of America, today was held for court under $1000 bail on a serious charge by Magistrate Tensard DeWolfe, in Morale court. Howat protested his innocence, declaring he was the victim of an alleged "frame up." Howat was arrested in a downtown hotel, where he had been stopping a week, on a warrant sworn out by Police Commissioner John J. Pord of the headquarters district. The arrest was made on complaint of Inga Sorensen, Chicago, father of a five-year-old boy. The boy told his story to Magistrate DeWolfe, but Howat emphatically denied it. "I will be able to prove my innocence when I go before a jury of 12 men and they hear my story. I am positive I will be vindicated." Howat said he had engaged an attorney in this city and also wired his attorney in Pittsburgh, Kan., to come and defend him when the case comes to trial. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Blakemore of Brea have moved to N. Olive-st., Anaheim. STEEL AIR-PLANE SAVES FLIER’S LIFE SEATTLE, June 7.—Lieut. Frank B.

MODJESKA’S LIFE HISTORY MODJESKA'S LIFE HISTORY It is reason of the widespread interest and inquiries which have developed pertaining to Madame Modjeska's home in the Forest of Arden, Orange County's only mountain attraction, there is being developed an inquiry for Madame Modjeska's autobiography, a book, which it is regrettable to state is now out of print. Madame Modjeska was one of Orange County's most enthusiastic property owners and residents. For over 25 years the famous Modjeska ranch, "Forest of Arden" was her place of residence between theatrical seasons, and she devoted a considerable space in her book to Orange County and her connection with it. It would seem that this book would be of inestimable value to Orange County, so much so that perhaps it is a matter that should be brought to the attention of Commercial Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, Board of Supervisors, City Councils, Town Trustees, Rotary Clubs and all clubs and organizations composed of public spirited members. A plan could easily be worked out at a very slight expense to procure the copyright and plates of this book and to have an edition printed, a copy of which could be placed in every public library in Southern California and copies placed on sale in all the book stores in So. California. The returns from these sales would not only repay every subscriber to this fund the amount of his original investment but the profit therefrom could be kept to increase its sale, to the widest possible degree. Apart from every other consideration, this book would be of great advertising value to Orange County and would more widely extend its fame among a discerning class of people. All that is needed to accomplish this is for some person, club or organization to bring it to the attention of every organization, which is public spirited enough to realize that this is, apart from every other consideration, of the best pieces of publicity that Orange County could get. There is, of course, a higher and better consideration— All that is needed to accomplish this is for some person, club or organization to bring it to the attention of every organization, which is public spirited enough to realize that this is, apart from every other consideration, of the best pieces of publicity that Orange County could get. There is, of course, a higher and better consideration—the respect and homage that would be shown to the memory of Madame Modjeska for her selection of Orange County as her place of residence as early as 1878, and her continued love for it for a period of 30 years. The olive grove adjacent to the Home Grounds has been subdivided into mountain home sites which are now being offered at very low prices on easy terms. A number of selections have already been made, several houses are now in the course of construction, and there is considerable activity in the immediate vicinity. These homes sites are offered at the very low prices of $200 to $300 each on very reasonable terms. You are cordially invited to visit Madame Modjeska's Home at your early convenience and to become familiar with the new plan pertaining to the home, and, if interested, to look over the property now being offered for mountain homes. Agent on the property every day. We will be glad to send you booklet and further information on request. CHAS. S. MANN 807 Loew's State Bldg. Seventh and Broadway Metropolitan 5291 Los Angeles SOUTHWEST LEAGUE AT SANTA BARBARA SANTA BARBARA, June 7.—The conference of the league of the southwest was called to order here today by Postmaster James B. Rickard, of Santa Marbara, who introduced permanent chairman Harry H. Merrick. The meeting was held in the beautiful recreation center in the heart of the city. Mayor James B. Sloan welcomed the delegates and visitors to the city. A memorial paper in honor of the late John S. Akerman of San Diego, known as the "Godfather of the League of the Southwest," was responded to by E. A. Hornbeck, representing the board of supervisors of San Diego county. The conference proper was opened by Dr. Horace Porter, former mayor of Riverside, Calif., who spoke on "The Genius of the Colorado River Movement." Dr. Porter traced the beginning of the present campaign for the utilization of the big river and protection of the Imperial Valley. The morning session closed with an address by Robert Sibley, who illustrated his talk with jabernet slides and a technical, economic and political summary of the Colorado River project to date. Dr. Sibley not only spoke on the various propositions now under consideration, but gave an interpretation of the present status of the river development in the light of the failure of the Arizona legislature to ratify the act formulated by the Colorado River Commission. The afternoon session comprised a "comprehensive exposition of Colorado river projects" by W. G. Clark, a student of the Colorado River for 22 years. He was one of the first men to oppose the dam at Boulder Canyon. Other addresses were made at the afternoon session also. Plain Dealer Want Ads Get Results.
