TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER NEXT Friday is proclaimed a national day of mourning in honor of the revered memory of President Harding. Could not Anaheim join the rest of the nation, in fact as well as in spirit, with a solemn union service upon that day of the chief executive's funeral. The American Legion, Chamber of Commerce, Ministerial Ass'n and other organizations might assume direction of such a service. The high school auditorium would be an ideal location. Well do I remember the sincere grief of my old high school professor, a speaker at a memorial service for the late President McKinley. His tears were indelibly impressed upon my ten-year-old memory. Some of the things he said then, in those surroundings, helped form the basis of my love of country and respect for its institutions and administrative officers. If any man ever gave his life for his country, President Harding did so. Should we not pause for a period next Friday to pay proper respects: MEMBERS of the local post of the American Legion were complaining today at the lack of patriotism which they said was shown yesterday.

One member of the Legion said there were only three flags flying in the business district—the city flag at the flag-pole, one over the city hall, and one from the Golden State Bank. He says that Anaheim people should have shown a deeper respect for the president. THERE are many ways to build a city, but about the best way I know anything about is to build it. T. A. Williams is showing his belief in Anaheim by building homes. Since Feb. 20, he has built and sold thru the offices of Harold Clairmont 13 modern residences. Any one of them would do credit, in architecture, convenience, workmanship and general desirability, to any section of the city. Before coming to Anaheim he erected 500 houses at Pomona. Any contractor who can sell 500 homes has to put the stuff into them. Mr. Williams' heart is in his work. He says: "I sincerely believe that the most important step young people can take toward becoming good citizens and useful members of the community, is to start acquiring a home." V. KNOWLTON, a veteran of the civil war, was "stopping out" in Fullerton this morning as spry as a youngster. Several other Fullerton folks adopted the same gait, including E. W. Dean, E. S. Gregory and Charles Knowlton. And why shouldn't they? The forty-miners had nothing on them. Then, or rather their company, had discovered a gold mine, and a rich one, too. Mr. Knowlton, Sr., could vouch for that. He had some of the gold dust in his pocket, which he exhibited as a sample at the First National Bank. F. C. Krause, president of the bank, who had spent some of his earlier days in the gold fields of Alaska, said it should pay at least $2000 a ton. Old timers in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado sald Cripple Creek had presented nothing like it. But to get down to business, the mine was discovered a few days ago near Randeberg away out in the Mojave desert by Kent S. Snowlton, son of O. B., or his men, who were prospecting in that vicinity. It is said to be the richest vein of gold ever struck in So Cal., and it but upon my ten-year-old memory. Some of the things he said then, in those surroundings, helped form the basis of my love of country and respect for its institutions and administrative officers. If any man ever gave his life for his country, President Harding did so. Should we not pause for a period next Friday to pay proper respects: ANAHEIM Co-op. Orange Association Closed Most of Week to Nurse Market Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association, which usually ships 25 to 35 cars per week was closed most of the week and shipments from the district amounted to only 74 cars against 93 last week. This is nearly as much of a curtailment as took place last week as compared with the week previous. Manager J. M. Ritchie of the Cooperative Association threatened to close his house a few weeks ago; rather than sell his grower's grunt at a loss. The Orange County Valencia Co. again shipped no fruit. Prices this week, according to the Co-operative Ass'n, have remained about the same, but prospects are encouraging for better figures. Prices have risen and then declined, with the result that there has been little improvement since July 4. Eastern and California deciduous fruits continue to interfere with the sale of oranges. Between 75 and 80 cars per days of miscellaneous fruit have been arriving at Chicago and New York. CHINA THREATENED BY NEW CIVIL WAR By EDNA LEE BOOKER (L.N.S. Staff Correspondent) SHANGHAI, Aug. 4.-A new civil war threatens China. An outbreak of hostilities in Chekiang and Kiangsu provinces between the Chill forces and those of General Lu Yang Hsiang, a wealthy and powerful Chekiang war lord, appeared to be imminent. The local Chinese C.O.C. and business men met today to formulate peace plans for persuasion to the war lords in hope that the clash may be averted. Lu is a new figure in Chinese civil friction who in the past has attended strictly to his duties as defense commissioner of Shanghai and governor of Chekiang. He seems destined to become an outstanding personage in Chinese tangled affairs. He is a member of the trio of war lords whose domains form a great triangle with Chang-Tse-Lin, powerful Manchurian ruler on the north, and Sun-Yat-Sen on the south. RECOVER STOLEN ple at the First National Bank, P.C. Krause, president of the bank, who had spent some of his earlier days in the gold fields of Alaska, said it should pay at least $2000 a ton. Old timers in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado said Cripple Creek had presented nothing like it. But to get down to business, the mine was discovered a few days ago near Randsberg away out in the Mojave desert by Kent S. Snowlton, son of O. B., or his men, who were prospecting in that vicinity. It is said to be the richest vein of gold ever struck in So. Cal., and if it but lasts as it has started the stockholders of the company are sure for high dividends. Other prospectors had come within two feet of it, but did not go far enough. Officers of the company include: Kent S. Knowlton, president; Roy Wood, vice president, and Leonard Lohr, manager. The majority of the stockholders are said to reside in the vicinity of Bakerfield and a smaller number in Fullerton. SEVERAL of the boys around town who bot stock in a building corporation until recently widely advertised inform me they have decided to hold onto it. Some other fellows, who didn't buy, allowed they probably would hold onto it since they pointed out, the promoter had changed his advertising slogan from "Watch us grow" to "Watch us go." THERE were 1230 grapes on that 5-3-4 pound bunch in Jake Schumachers window, they have just phoned over. That's somewhat more than my conservative guess of 300, but I have the satisfaction of knowing I was closer than Cliff Carlo with his 4000 guess. They were counted by the statuesque assistant society editor of the Plain Dealer which sounds suspicious since I remember she guessed something like 1300 after weighing the biggest bunch she could get and counting the grapes on it. Mrs. Harrett K. Boyd was to have counted them, declining when she remembered she had made a guess herself and that it was her Saturday afternoon off. A second phone call says B. B. Barton, Apt. 5, Marilla-ct. guessed 1233 and walked off with the prize money. T. Graaski, 117 N. West-st., was second with 1250. I'll have to take that back about the assistant society editor. RECOVER STOLEN MOTOR, STRIPPED Quick work was reported in the recovery of the Chevrolet car owned by R. W. Taflen of Fullerton, repolled stolen to Anaheim police. Officer L. B. Stump set out in search of the stolen vehicle, and found it within about 30 minutes near the Chartres-st. school. The car had been stripped of almost everything movable.

Since 1865 the catafalque has been used only three times, when the bodies of the martyred presidents Garfield and McKinley and that of the unknown soldier rested on it during state funerals. WIDOW SPENDS RESTFUL NIGHT Nevada Governor Puts a Wreath Aboard in Name of State HANNA PRAYS FOR SOUL OF PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. Archbishop Hanna, chairman of the administration of the national Catholic Welfare Council, today issued a public prayer for the soul of President Harding. "For long weeks we waited with joy for the coming of our beloved president to the city of Saint Francis, little knowing that in the ways of God, San Francisco would see the passing of his great soul. Our hearts go out in loving sympathy to his noble wife and to those bound to him by ties of love and blood. In the grief that shakes our great nation we have indeed a large part and we pray the Father of Mercies to look down upon us, His children, in this hour of pain and sorrow. We pray, too, for grace to humble ourselves beneath His hand. We pray for light to know his way on earth and our destiny among nations. We pray for 2 CHILDREN DROWNED IN IA. FLOOD ATLANTIC, Iowa, Aug. 4.—Caught in the flood waters of the Nodaway River six miles from here this afternoon, when the bank on which they were standing caved in, Clara Caddock, 12, and Helen Weaver, 13, were drowned and their bodies have not been recovered. Both girls lived at Berea, Iowa, near here, and the younger girl was the niece of Earl Caddock, Iowa wrestler. The floods from the cloudburst which swept western Iowa today had swollen the river and the girls were walking along watching the torrential water when the bank collapsed under them, hurling them into the rushing river. Scores of neighbors are dragging the river at a point far below where the girls fell as it is believed that the bodies were carried some distance by the current. OMAHA FLOODED BY THREE-INCH RAIN (By International News Service) OMAHA, Aug. 4.—Trapped in his auto, one man was nearly drowned hundreds of automobiles on downtown streets here were switched from their parking places and homes and business houses were flooded this morning when nearly three inches of rain fell here in an hour.

In Council Bluffs, on lower Broadway. RESTOLE NIGHT Nevada Governor Puts a Wreath Aboard in Name of State CARLIN, Nev., Aug. 4.—When the Harding funeral train passed here at 1:20 p.m. it was approximately 35 minutes ahead of the tentative schedule. ABOARD PRESIDENT HARDING'S FUNERAL TRAIN, GOLOONDA, Nev., Aug. 4.—Mrs. Harding spent a restful night it was said this morning by her physicians. She retired early last night and at a late hour this morning, when the train was speeding over miles of sunbaked desert, she was still in her stateroom resting from the trying ordeal she has been thru and seeking to gain the strength necessary to carry her thru. The train passed thru Reno this morning but did not stop. At Sparks, despite the earliness of the hour there was a large crowd of respectful Nevadaans at the station, including the Governor. A wreath was put aboard in the name of the state. At other stations beyond Reno there was the same respectful crowds, but no stops were made. BY GEORGE R HOLMES (L.N.S. Staff Correspondent) ABCARD PRESIDENT HARDING'S FUNERAL TRAIN ENROUTE TO WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—The caravan of sorrow that is the Harding funeral train sped swiftly into Nevada today on the first part of the long sad journey back to Washington. Through the blackness of the night the train roared thru towns and countryside making no stops and scarcely slackening speed even for the curves that are frequently met on the Southern Pacific right-of-way. Occasionally out of the darkness would loom little knots of people for a fleeting glimpse of those who peered from the windows of the long train for a second and then gone. At times during the night the train attained a speed far above that of normal travel but when daylight came and the towns and the silent groups of people became more frequent speed was of necessity slackened. The crowds that stood at respectful attention at every cross roads and hamlet had eyes only for one thing, the silent grim looking car on the rear of the train holding the remains of Warren G. Harding, 29th prefect president to the city of Saint Francis, little knowing that in the ways of God, San Francisco would see the passing of his great soul. Our hearts go out in loving sympathy to his noble wife and to those bound to him by ties of love and blood. In the grief that shakes our great nation we have indeed a large part and we pray the Father of Mercies to look down upon us, His children, in this hour of pain and sorrow. We pray, too, for grace to humble ourselves beneath His hand. We pray for light to know his way on earth and our destiny among nations. We pray for our president that his place may be in peace in His abode in Holy Zion." SEIZE LIQUOR AT SEIGEL HOUSE Taking advantage of the absence of the owner, and armed with a search warrant, William B. Moody, chief of police, and his "drill crew" this morning, drilled thru the door lock of Joe Seigel's home at North and Claudina-sts, and rounded up 20 gallons of raisin brandy which the president of the Anaheim Building Corp. had left behind in his alleged flight from the city. Police are said to have had information that Seigel had a large stock of good whiskies in the house a short time before his departure, but evidently left the brandy behind and took the whiskey with him, since the brandy is said to have been of a very poor quality. If Siegel returns to Anaheim he will probably have to face a whiskey charge in addition to the charges of misappropriating funds which are now pending against him. The police are said at last to have gotten a clue as to the direction taken by Seigel when he left. A letter mailed by his wife to an Anaheim person two days after he left is said to have been postmarked "San Diego." TWO SEIZED HERE FOR S.A. BURGLARY Jose Martinez and Lorenzo Villroz were arrested in Anancho this morning by the local police on the charge president to the city of Saint Francis, little knowing that in the ways of God, San Francisco would see the passing of his great soul.

Hundreds of automobiles on downtown streets here were switched from their parking places and homes and business houses were flooded this morning when nearly three inches of rain fell here in an hour. In one low section a wall of water four feet deep swept the streets. Policemen carried women and children to safety. Serious washouts were reported on all railroads. In Council Bluffs, on lower Broadway, Indian Creek went over its banks. The water receded as swiftly as the flood struck, leaving a layer of mud a foot thick on the floors of stores and homes.

Hart, a deputy sheriff, in December, 1921.

The proclamation called on the nation to mourn the memory of the lamented president on Friday, August 10th, the day on which the funeral will be held at Marion, Ohio. It was the first official act of the new president. It came within 34 hours after he took his oath of office. The proclamation is as follows: "By the President of the United States of America." "A proclamation" "To the people of the United States: In the inscrutable wisdom of Divine Providence, Warren Gamaliel Harding, twenty-ninth president of the United States, has been taken from us. The nation has lost a wise and enlightened statesman and the people a true friend and counselor whose public life was inspired with the desire to promote the best interests of the United States and the welfare of all its citizens. The private life was marked by gentleness and brotherly sympathy, and by the charm of his personality he made friends of all who came in contact with him. "It is mete that the deep grief which fills the hearts of the American people should find fitting expression. Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, president of the United States of America, do appoint Friday, August 10, the day on which the body of the dead president will be laid in its last earthly resting place, as a day of mourning and prayer through the United States. I earnestly recommend the people to assemble on that day in their respective places of divine worship, there to bow down in submission to the will of Almighty God, and to pay out of full hearts the homage of love and reverence to the memory of the great and good president whose death has so sorely smitten the nation. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

COOLIDGE FORMALLY TAKES OVER REINS OF OFFICE TODAY (By George E. Durmo) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—President Calvin Coolidge formally took over the reins of office today. In a quiet, unassuming manner, characteristic of his action in public life the new chief executive began the task of "carrying on" for Warren G. Harding. No real work is to be attempted for a week or more. By choice, Coolidge will permit federal machinery to remain virtually motionless until after the last rites have been performed over his dead and beloved chief. The first formal move of his new office will be the issuance of a proclamation from his hotel "White House," calling upon the nation to enter into a period of mourning for the dead president. A more informal manner Coolidge will step into his new roll at a conference at 11 o'clock this morning. Scores of correspondents from all sections of the country have hied themselves to Washington and to these men Coolidge has promised to make his officiall pronouncement. President Coolidge thus far has devoted his every thought to the assurance of a fitting tribute to the passing of Warren G. Harding. From the moment of his arrival last night to the time he retired, and continuing at an early hour this morning he has labored over arrangements for the funeral ceremonies for the late president. With the assistance of Secretary of State Hughes, Senator Curtis of Kansas and Col. Clarence O.
