KILLSTRUCK BOOTLEGGERS HITTING BACK SAYS DRAKE Alcohol Responsible for Howl Against Fullerton Police, Asserts Trustee. That all the clamor raised against the Fullerton police department can be traced directly to King Alcohol, was the statement made this morning by L. P. Drake, Fullerton trustees, in the first open declaration to come from the board on the police tangle. Mr. Drake has no sympathy for the lawmen who are arresting that man. Vetoes Bill to Raise Woman’s Legal Age (By International News Service) SAN FRANCISCO, June 28—Even tho they lack parental approval, California girls who believe in early marriages have a staunch champion in Governor F. W. Richardson. Governor Richardson announced today that he had vetoed a bill intended to raise the legal age of a woman from 18 to 21. The measure would have made it necessary for girls under 21 to secure the consent of their parents before marrying. "The best age for a girl to get married is 19 or 20," declared the state's chief executive. "This bill would have given lots of "hard boiled" parents a chance to prohibit their daughters from doing precisely what they did—marry early in life. Early marriages tend to happiness and good citizenship. I'm with the girls to keep the limit down to 18 and it will never be raised while I have the power of veto." Alcohol Responsible for Howl Against Fullerton Police, Asserts Trustee. That all the clamor raised against the Fullerton police department can be traced directly to King Alcohol, was the statement made this morning by L. P. Drake, Fullerton trustees, in the first open declaration to come from the board on the police tangle. Mr. Drake has no sympathy for the "howlers" who are crying that the rigidity of the police are driving people from Fullerton, but thinks that Marshal Eells and his men have called the wrath of the anti-law balding class down on their heads by simply standing at their posts and granting no compromise to the law-breakers. The records show that there is no police department in the county which has coped more successfully against the liquor traffic nor bret so many bootleggers to time as has the Fullerton police department, and Mr. Drake says that's the most of the whole trouble. "The moment you pinch King Alcohol, he's going to fight back. I've learned that in more than 30 years fighting demons rum," said Mr. Drake. CHARGES OFFICER MADE HIM CONFESS (By International News Service) SEATTLE, June 23—Accused of murdering J. C Smith and then "hypnotizing" A. J. Boos, Merced Island rancher, into confessing that he committed the crime, A. M. Bailey, former deputy sheriff, was in the county jail today. Smith was implicated thru the efforts of Rev. Mark A. Matthews, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Visiting the county jail Thursday, Dr. Matthews chanced to run across Boos' wife, who had been to see her husband. She told him a remarkable story which Boos had confided to her. According to this story, Boos was working in his garden the day of the murder, when he heard shots, and rushing to investigate, found Bailey on top of Smith, choking him. When Boos attempted to interfere, according to the story told by Boos, Bailey administered a beating to him and then "hypnotized" him—partly with his eyes and partly with a shotgun—into promising to confess that he was the murderer.

The first floor will be devoted to store rooms and the second and third will be divided into 23 apartments.

THE THERMOMETER Minimum: 52 at 4 a.m. Maximum: 17% at 2 p.m. BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS Service) SACRAMENTO, June 23—To remain law-abiding citizens, Californians must conform to 479 new statutes. Governor Richardson completed the bill signing period which terminated last midnight by decreeing that 479 laws be added to the statute books and 403 proposed laws vetoed. The governor signed his last bill—the Santa Clara irrigation district act—at 10 o'clock last night. Next to the last bill signed was Senator Slater's measure appropriating $50,000 for the promotion of county fairs. Probably the most important measure to draw executive approval on the last day of the bill signing period was Senator Osborne's act creating the office of county horticultural commissions, prescribing their qualifications providing for the method of appointment, regulating salaries and stipulating the term of office. Signing of this measure precluded the outing of every horticultural commissioner in the state, as the law in which the commissioners formerly served was found unconstitutional in a recent decision of the supreme court. ARREST OLD WOMAN DENOUNCING HARDING (HytheinSON, Kan., June 23—The first untoward event that has marked President Harding's Western tour occurred here when the police arrested an aged woman for threatening the safety of the chief executive.

Ordinarily, it was explained, such negotiations would be conducted by the state department but as the disagreeable features in the situation concern the customs department of the two countries, it was decided that Mellon would undertake the trip.

June 23—Straight into the heart of the great middle western grain pit, where political unrest has been widely prevalent in the last few years. President Harding came with a vigorous message to the American farmer. Addressing an audience rude up of thousands of Kansas farmers at the fair grounds here this afternoon, the president declared challengingly that no government in the world has done as much for its farmers as has the administration at Washington since the blight of depression settled over the country in 1920. It is undeniably true, Mr. Harding said, that the farmer suffered terribly in the hectic deflated period, but he reminded the farmers that this was not alone confined to the farmer, but extended to all phases of America's economic life. If the farmer suffered most, he said, it was because of the fundamental inequalities of the industry and not because anybody was picking on the farmer." Nearly all of the president's lengthy address was devoted to a re-initialization of his administration has...

To the United States Collector of the Port of New York. "I. J. Roberts, master of the British Steamship Baltic, from Liverpool, protest against the breaking of the British customs seals and the seizure by the United States customs authorities of the ship's store of wine and liquors held under seal on board this ship for consumption exclusively outside the territorial waters of the United States. (Signed) J. ROBERTS, "Master." The Baltic came into port yesterday with a supply of liquor for the return voyage without having previously announced the fact. The liquor was loaded upon trucks backed up at the White Star pier. When the customs officers first went board the Baltic, the work of removing the liquor was held up by a telephone message from the offices of the collector of the port. After an hour's delay, the officers recumed their labors and soon cases of beer stout and whiskey were being carried from the ship. It was understood that the dclay was due to the failure of the public health officer to arrive on time to make formal decision as to whether the liquor was intended for beverage purposes or medicinal use. Finally the public health officer examined the liquor and determined it was for drinking purposes. Then the work of unloading was commenced in earnest. The official British customs seals by which the shipping company had hoped to preserve the liquor stores intact in American "prohibition waters" had been previously broken by U.S. customs authorities. NEW YORK, June 23. The French steamship Paris reached port today with a large supply of beverage liquors for use on the return voyage. The liquor stores were admittedly for beverage purposes and were under seal of the French customs service.

T BUENA PARK Rowell Raps Bryan's Attack on Evolution SAN FRANCISCO, June 23— speaking before the California State Medical Society convention here today Chester H. Rowell, well known editor, rapped William Jennings Bryan's campaign against evolution. Rowell said: "Even in the biological sciences the opposition is confined to those aspects which conflict with what some people think is religion. Mr. Bryan may be seeking to put this inquisition on evolution as an ancient fact, but he has no hesitation in dealing with it as a modern fact. He buys blooded stock for his ranch and would object seriously to one of his children marrying into an epileptic family." TWO CARS AND LOCOMOTIVE IN DITCH Edwin Coming, 21, or Orange, Dies of Injuries This Afternoon. Edwin Corning, 21, of Orange, a driver for the Triangle Express Trucking Co., died at 1 p.m. at the room of Dr. Julian P.

SEEK WARRANT FOR ARREST OF WOMAN LOS ANGELES, June 25—A warrant for the arrest of Ruth Norman, 18, said to have admitted complicity in an asserted badger game plot against C.C. Julian, wealthy oil promoter, was to be demanded today by an attorney for one of three alleged conspirators under arrest. Those arrested for the alleged attempt to "frame" Julian by having Miss Norman complain that she had been subjected to an attack by him, are Jack O'Brien, picture director; Ray Scott, actor, and Emeet Rice, an investigator for the district attorney's office. Scott declared he first met Miss Norman in Chicago aboard her mother's yacht. Her mother is a member of a wealthy and prominent family there, he said. Edwin Corning, 21, of Orange, a driver for the Triangle Express Trucking Co., died at 1 p.m. at the room of Dr. Julian P. Johnson in the Warren building at Buena Park following injuries received in a collision between his truck and an S.P. train at the Buena Park crossing last night about 8 o'clock. The freight train engineer was W.A. Davis, of Los Angeles, who did not see the truck in time to stop. It is said that Corning never saw the train at all and never knew what hit him, asking later in periods of consciousness what had happened. Corning was enroute to Los Angeles. The truck was completely wrecked. The locomotive and two cars jumped the rails and landed in the ditch, the train crew escaping without injury. The train is said to have carried the truck about 200 feet, bending it almost double. When Corning was reached he was lying on the ground with his right leg broken in the thigh, and one of the thigh bones sticking thru the flesh and into the ground. Both bones of the lower leg were also broken, and there were five cuts from an inch to an inch and a half long in the scalp. Dr. Johnson said it is probable the man received internal injuries. His wife of nine months was immediately notified, and was soon at his bedside where she remained until the end came. He was intermittently conscious until death was near. The body was still being held at the rooms of Dr. Johnson this afternoon, and the coroner had been notified. Corning is also survived by his father and mother of Humboldt-co.
