Other directors present were Henry M. Adams, J. F. Ahlborn, Chas. Gygabroad, Dr. H. A. Johnston, John Ruether and F. A. Yungbluth. It was decided to appropriate $150 as Anaheim's part for the large space which is being put in by Orange-co. supervisors at the Monroe Doctrine Centennial Exposition, which opens in Los Angeles next Monday. Fullerton, Santa Ana and Orange have subscribed similar amounts and seven of the smaller civic bodies of the county have appropriated amounts in proportion. The idea is to representatives of the several Chambers of Orange-co. on hand at the Exposition every day during the 34 days of the show, which is considered to be the biggest of its kind ever put on in California. The secretary reported that the final figures for the Orange show would be available about July 10, after the arrival of V. D. Loly and the making of his audit. It was the unanimous decision of the board that an informal dinner be given to Herrman Stern, Chas. E. Harbeson and Sidney Prince when reports of Manager, secretary and auditor would be heard and the executive committee formally thanked for their unseasonal efforts in behalf of the third California Valencia Orange Show. C. C. Lamb, chairman of the ornamental light committee, made such a splendid report that he received a standing vote of thanks. Assisted by Mr. Robt. L. Royalty, Mr. Lamb's committee has secured a very large majority of frontage owners on East and West Center-sts, and it was reported that a similar effort now being put forth on Broadway and Los Angeles-sts, promises to result as successfully.

Staff Correspondent) SAN FRANCISCO, June 27—The "fourth degree" has arrived. Noted chinimologists who watched demonstrations of the new "truth compelling" drug scopolamin in San Quentin prison today agreed it may throw into discard the brutal "third degree" and make the proposition one of the chief aids to criminal investigation. A series of tests conducted by Dr. R. E. House, Ferris, Tex., physician, who, after use of scopolamin as a twilight sleep producer conceived the idea of its value in criminology, established these things: 1- Supplied corroboration of the Judgment of a jury in acquitting one man of wife murder. 2- Revealed the identity of a Belgian war hero serving time for automobile larceny—something the man had forgotten himself. 3- Supplied officers with information that may clear a man serving life sentence for murder. 4- Revealed many alleged crimes on the part of a convict unknown to officers.

The office of the Chamber has prepared ballots for the primary election of directors from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Thursday, July 5. Ballots may be dropped in the box at the office at the new city hall between these hours, or mailed for that purpose. Mr. Yungbluth reported that Attorney Leonard Evans is making a lease to be signed by property owners on N. Los Angeles-st., and the C. of C. for a site upon which the show is to be held for the next ten and perhaps 15 years.

Under the influence of scopolamin the subject loses use of consecuous will, Dr. House explained to the noted physicians, criminologists and psychologists who followed carefully his experiments. The subject retains memory and answers truthfully any question put to him. Henry Wilkins, tried for the murder of his wife, voluntarily asked a test, and under the influence of the drug, related in even greater detail the story of the holdup in which his wife was killed and convinced August Vollmer, scientific police chief of Berkeley, the jury was right in acquitting him. At San Quentin the additional tests revealed Eugene O'Leary as the son of Pierre Burns of Luxemburg, Belgium, five times wounded in the Argonne. He pointed out wounds which prison physicians did not know existed and examination proved him correct. A re-examination of his war record is to be made. John L. Farrar, under the "truth serum," revealed the murder he is serving time for was committed by his partner and John Johnson, a negro, admitted his guilt of grand larceny and other misdemeanors. "My idea in making the tests is purely humanitarian," Dr. House, who is here attending the 74th annual American Medical Ass'n convention explained. "About five per cent of the persons incarcerated in prisons are innocent and scopolamin offers a solution of this situation." The tests were voluntary. "Bluebeard" Watson, accused slayer of many women, who has claimed he could not remember all of his victims, declined to undergo the test. H. C. L. DOWN SAYS U.S. RESERVE BOARD By W. H. ATKINS, (L. N.

Center St. Anaheim WASHINGTON, June 27—Because of the general decline in the price of a large number of commodities, the purchasing power of the American dollar is now two cents more than a month ago, the Federal Reserve Board announced today an optimistic review of general business conditions. Continued heavy production of basic materials along with full employment and good wages for labor were cited as outstanding features in the favorable industrial situation. Buying strength of American people is now being exerted at maximum, despite the seasonal changes. Production and shipment of goods by factories continue in heavy volume throughout the United States: Labor of all kinds is finding employment. Some industries have granted wage increases in the general demand for labor. Larger demand for goods has resulted in steady increase in the size of payrolls among some classes of industrial establishments. The board's reports show there is a shortage of farm labor. In agriculture the condition of winter and spring wheat is less favorable than a year ago. The cotton crop is in slightly better condition, owing to more favorable growing conditions in Texas. Wholesalers report larger sales of meat, hardware and shoes. Sales of clothing and drygoods decreased. A feature of the general prosperity is an increase of $38,000,000 in circulating money. Bank loans in principal cities, which have been increasing since early in the year, declined sharply last month. SCALE COMMITTEE AWAITS PRES. LEWIS (By International News Service) SCRANTON, Pa., June 27—When the second day's session of the scale convention opened today, it was evident that anthracite miners would mark time to allow the resolutions committee to work. There is also a desire to await the arrival of International President John L. Lewis. The conservative element was more confident today. The radical element was steam-rolled yesterday when they failed to get on the scale committee. Europe's view is that every cloud has an American silver liming. LIONS CLUBS OPEN ATLANTA MEETING ATLANTIC CITY, June 27.—Delegates from every state in the Union and from Canada, representing some 36,000 memebrs of the International Association of Lions Clubs, opened their seventh annual convention in the great auditorium on the Steel Pier here this morning. All yesterday the Lions, both delegates and unofficial visitors, with their ladies, poured into the city and made ready for a three-days session. This morning they went at the business of the convention. The presiding officer was Hervey S. Moore, of Trenton, district governor of the Lions Clubs of New Jersey. After the invocation and inspiring music, the Lions were made welcome to Atlantic City by the mayor. The response was by Halsted Ritter, of Denver. The convention then listened to the annual address of the International president, Ed. S. Vaught, of Oklahoma City. It was a human document, that address of the president, for it dealt with the progress of the youngest of the great service clubs of the country, its aims and aspirations, some of the things it has done and some of the bigger things it has planned for the years to come. President Vaught, during his year in office, has kept in close personal touch with the Lions Clubs in all parts of the country, and better than anyone else he knows the work they have done, and are capable of doing. Some of these things he told the delagates, and he unfolded before them a wonderful vision of the future, when the Lions Clubs are twice or thrice or ten times their present numbers, and are working on a single co-ordinated program for civic service. Straight Americanism and observance of the law, whether or not one approves of it, was stressed by President Vaught. He urged the Lions to stand fast by the courses they have laid out for themselves, and keep the country safe.
