SLAYS LOVER F President of Giants May be STONEHAM OUT AT LEAGUES DEMAND Organized Baseball Will "Worry Thru" Without Misses Disaster By Only One Day Twenty-four hours out of Yokohama before the great earth quake! That tells of the hair-breadth escape of Donald Walker, son of Rev. and Mrs. Thomas H.

Stoneham, president of the New York Giants, who is under indictment for alleged complicity in local bucket shop scandals, is to be politely requested by the National League to sell his controlling interest in the Giants and retire from baseball, according to a report today. It is said that organized bareball has arrived at the conclusion that Stoneham's connection with the game is no longer compatible with its desires, in view of recent disclosures. John Heydler himself has been quoted as saying that the publicity given Stoneham in the bucket-shop investigations was "very embarrassing to the National League." It is rumored that Judge Landis will hasten to New York and within several days officially preside over the ceremonies incidental to the passing of the accused magnate. Stoneham has not been a popular figure since purchasing controlling interest in the Giants four years ago. As to the allegation that he owns more than one ball club in the National League, his detractors say that simultaneously with Stoneham's purchase of the Giants, George Washington Grant bought the Boston Braves. The significance of the dual purchase is said to be wrapped around the alleged fact that Grant not only had a desk in Stoneham's office but lacked the means to swing such a transaction. Last winter Grant announced the sale of the club but this hardly stilled the wagging tongues. WIFE OF EDITOR CRITICALLY ILL Mrs. Paul V. Hester is lying dangerously ill at the Anaheim Sanitarium today, following an operation about one week ago.

Leland Mitchell, county health officer. Clinics have been started at Placentia, Garden Grove and El Modena and already existed at several other points. Miss Florence Anes, public health nurse, recently sent to Orange-co by the State Board of Health, was in charge. Nineteen sessions were held during the month. The month was decidedly healthful, with only one case of measles to add to the 577 recorded during the semi-epidemic of the earlier months and its aftermath. One case each of diphtheria, rabies and tuberculosis and three of scarlet fever were other features. The control of rabies, while satisfactory, must be absolute to enable the lighting of the state quarantine and remain absolute for 30 days. RESIDENTS AGAIN AFTER CHEMICAL CO.

SEEK LEASE OF MUSCLE SHOALS WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—President Coolidge today asked Henry Ford to agree to lease the government's great nitrate plants and water power projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala., without the Gorgas steam plant on the Warrior river. This must be turned back to the Alabama Power Company. TEMPERATURE RESIDENTS AGAIN AFTER CHEMICAL CO. FOR NUISANCE Prepared to resume action against the Crystal Chemical Co., because of the alleged public nuisance of the stench from the beet residue used in the manufacture of alcohol, etc., Mrs. Frank Tausch headed a group of ladies who called yesterday on C. N. Mozley, Deputy District Attorney in Santa Ana. Mozley persuaded the ladies to give the company more time on the ground that drying machinery to abate the nuisance, which had been ordered, had not yet arrived. Some of the machinery has come but it may be five weeks before it is all here and installed. The nuisance was modified considerably when crude oil was poured upon the beets, but the oil has to be constantly applied, and the ladies claim this was not done. The Superior Court on the previous occasion told David Jessurun, superintendent, that he would be in contempt of court unless the nuisance was ended within a reasonable time. The investigators here were made by Dr. W. Leland Mitchell, county health officer, who repeatedly visited the factory at various hours to ascertain the cause of the nuisance and how far it had abated. At the previous hearing 26 ladies were present.

FULL REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE—FIRST LEASED WIRE IN ANAHEIM THE ORANGE COUNTY Plain Dealer LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 6, 1923. ER FOUND IN AUTO May be Forced to Sell Interest and JAPAN LOOKS TO U.S. FOR SUPPLIES Will New City of Steel Rise From Ashes of Wooden JAPANESE PRINCE REPORTED KILLED MAY NOT KNOW NUMBER DEAD IN QUAKE Survivors in Pitiable Plights; Half of Relief Fund TO U.S. FOR SUPPLIES Will New City of Steel Rise From Ashes of Wooden Buildings (Copyright, 1923, by International News Service) WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Out of the charred wreckage of Tokio and Yokohama will arise new and greater cities, but whether they will be built of stone and steel, after the manner of the western world or of wood, as was the ancient Japanese custom, remains to be seen. The blackened ashes of Tokio and Yokohama hold the answer, as to whether western construction methods have proven superior to the traditional building customs of Nippon. "Temporary reconstruction will be started at once, though Japan will ultimately rebuild on a larger scale than ever before," said Ambassador Hanihara. "The supplies must come from the outside world. There are only two nations—the United States and England—which can extend substantial trade to Japan. Europe has her own troubles, so Japan will undoubtedly turn to the United States for the things she needs. American lumber always has been preferred in Japan and a great supply of it will be needed now." Steel, building materials, tinware household furnishings—all these must be replaced and much of it will come from the United States. Twenty great government buildings will be replaced—these were modern in every respect—and Americans probably will do the building. "The great American-built Kaljo office building in Tokio may determine the fate of future skyscrapers in Japan, regardless of other tests. This building, erected as fireproof and earthquake proof only a few years ago, has been reported destroyed, the some dispatches said it came through the disaster untouched. If the latter is true, it may boom the building of skyscrapers upon the same plan." QUAKE BULLETINS WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—President Coolidge today received the following message: Mr. Luis G. Soto, one of the greatest of the Mexican Inspirational speakers, gave the Anaheim district of Mexican-Americans to the number of 200 a great treat at the Ybarra pool hall in North Anaheim. Mr. Soto emphasized and enumerated the great benefits which will come from the recent recognition of Mexico by Washington and told his hearers how best they might prosper by accepting and capitalizing these benefits. While recognizing the confusion following the Great War, which has given rise to pernicious actions of communists and other theorists who take advantage of the present muddled state of affairs to foment the world, he held out great hope of a peaceful getting together if all will keep their heads and do their work. Mr. Soto said "Do you wish me to give you the shield that will protect NUMBER DEAD IN QUAKE Survivors in Pitiable Plights; Half of Relief Fund Raised WHILE Tokio's death list in the terrific earthquake that rocked all Japan was officially placed at 30,000 today, the total death toll is not yet available. It has been no officially estimated as high as half a million. It is likely exact figures will never be known because many bodies have disappeared and others were cremated without identification. A radio message received by the Japanese consulate in Manila said that the Japanese premier was missing. He was slightly injured by a falling building. The plight of the refugees is deplorable. Many of them are without clothing, food and drinking water. The medical resources of Japan are heavily overtaxed by the illness and injuries sustained during the quake, storm, tidal wave and fire. Nearly half of the $5,000,000 required by the American Red Cross for Japanese relief has been raised. SHANGHAI, Sept. 6.—The spirit of Japan is not broken. This is the consensus of opinion of refugees who continue to pour into Shanghai from the zone of horror, death and desolation which extends for scores and scores of miles to the northeast and southwest of snow capped Fujiyama the holy mountain of the Japanese world. In spite of reports from Japan yesterday that the death toll has been exaggerated, estimates from scores of sources agree that at least 300,000 casualties have resulted. Beautiful Shiba Park, one of the great sights of the Japanese capital, is filled with thousands of refugees. Hibiya Park, formerly a popular city recreation center, and covering an area in excess of forty acres, is a similar haven for other thousands of homeless people. The Okura fine arts museum which contained a priceless collection of carvings, bronzes, pictures and other objects of art, is reported to be in ruins. The imperial palace is partially destroyed. Its surrounding grounds are being used as temporary homes by thousands of refugees, regardless of wealth, caste or social position. QUAKE BULLETINS WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—President Coolidge today received the following cablegram from the emperor of Japan: "Deeply touched by your profound sympathy and kindest offer in our appalling calamity, I beg you to accept my heartfelt gratitude to you and the American people. Yoshito." The message was apparently sent from Sengal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The first vessel to leave continental United States with relief supplies for Japan, will be the steamship President Tait, sailing from San Francisco today, according to a shipping board announcement. The Tait, carrying 100 tons of rice will arrive at Yokohama on Sept. 21. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—All Methodist missionaries in Japan are safe, according to a cable message here by representatives of the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—To the list of American dead in Yokohama Earle R. Dickover, the United States consul at Kobe today added the following: Mrs. H. C. Burnell, San Francisco. H. W. Morse, of International Banking Corporation. Captain Stimson, of steamer Navigator. Pickover also reported that Henry Holbrook of the International Banking Corporation was missing and probably dead. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The Japanese catastrophe with its losses mounting into billions of dollars, will not affect the American financial world, said Secretary of the Treasury Mellon today. American companies, having holdings in Japan, and American owners of Japanese securities, Mellon said, will not be seriously affected by the earthquake, even though some losses are teemed in this country. By Washington and told his hearers how best they might prosper by accepting and capitalizing these benefits. While recognizing the confusion following the Great War, which has given rise to pernicious actions of communists and other theorists who take advantage of the present muddled state of affairs to foment the world, he held out great hope of a peaceful getting together if all will keep their heads and do their work. Mr. Soto said "Do you wish me to give you the shield that will protect you in the struggle of life? Do not squander the fruits of your work." "Do you wish to make your children happy? You must give them instruction and educate them—in the schools and by your own good example." "Do you wish your wife to give you her heart and respect? Love her and respect her and make her the angel of your home. Treat her as your partner and not as a beast of burden. When you make your home the most sacred temple you will be worth men and worth workers, consult good books and make them your advisors. Work, constancy, application, moral order, respect for others and the practice of economy—these same inclinations must become the practice of our workmen. In them lie happiness. "I desire then, harmony between workers and capitalists. Industrial peace is necessary." WRECK IN BERLIN BERLIN, Sept. 6.—Eighteen persons were killed and as many more were wounded in a crash of express trains between Wuensterf and Seelze according to reports received here today. The wrecked train was the Amsterdam Express. The disaster occurred near Hanover and was due to a faulty switch. REPORTS HITTING UNLIGHTED TRUCK Benjamin A. Cole, who lives near Anaheim, reported to the local police that he hit a truck last night at the intersection of Broadway and Clementine-st.

Its surrounding grounds are being used as temporary homesites by thousands of refugees, regardless of wealth, caste or social position. Half of the Yokohama pier sank and the other half was engulfed by flames. The east breakwater disappeared altogether, and the north breakwater sank seven feet. Kamakura, picturesque city in the beautiful and fertile region of Sagami Bay, 12 miles south of Yokohama, is also in ruins. The world famous Dai Butsu Buddha, a bronze sculpture of heroic proportions, is said to have toppled over. Thousands of refugees are arriving at Kobe aboard vessels from Yokohama. Included among the ships arriving at Kobe today were the President Jefferson, United States Shipping Board trans-Pacific liner, and the French steamer Andre Lebon.

Little Dermyl, with his chest torn open by a charge of shot, died in his mother's arms. The youngsters were playing about their bedroom when Dermyl pleked up a cap pistol and snapped it at his brothers, suggesting a "duel," the older boy said. Grant took up a shotgun, not knowing it was loaded, aimed at his brother and pulled the trigger. A blinding flash and roar followed and as the smoke cleared away Grant saw his brother crumple to the floor with a gaping chest wound and heard his cry of agony. Police surgeons declared the boy had died almost instantly. B.R.T.
