"BOOZE SQ Every Ward in Orange-Co. 76 PATIENTS RECEIVING ATTENTION Norwalk Insane Asylum Continues to Turn Back Those From Here Story About Unruly Husband Wins Divorce LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19. Mrs. Emma Clark took the prize for telling a story about an unruly husband, according to attaches in Judge Scott's court where Mrs. Clark was granted a divorce today. "Why, your honor, he didn't take a bath during the 23 years we lived together," Mrs. Clark testified when asked by her attorney to tell about her husband's habits. The judge asked her if she might not be mistaken, but Mrs. Clark insisted that she was not and added that her husband worked on a ranch and in a livery stable most of that time. She said they were married in 1893 and separated in 1916. RECEIVING ATTENTION Norwalk Insane Asylum Continues to Turn Back Those From Here If any bed patients had been received after 10:30 p'clock this morning at the Orange-co hospital, they would have had to be put out into the halls. Every ward and every bed was full today, with 76 patients the hospital proper and approximately 40 outside. A serious epidemic—something unheard of in the county, but still possible—or a tragedy such as configuration would have to depend upon other housing and care than afforded by the county. The hospital never has had so many patients, and all of them have beds, according to Dr. Ivo J. Lopizich, assistant superintendent. Construction of two more outside cottages still is pending, and now while the State Hospital for the Insane at Norwalk continues to turn back Orange-co patients because of crowded conditions there. MRS. F. K. GRESSWELL INJURED IN CRASH Mrs. F. H. Gresswell, 317 S. Clementine, is nursing a badly injured arm and shoulder today, but thanking her "lucky stars" that she is here to relate the story of her accident. As the Crown stage which left Anaheim at 8 o'clock yesterday morning drove into Sixth-st. for the straight-away drive to the stage station, the bus collided with a street car. The conductor of the car saw a crash was inevitable and stopped his car instantly, otherwise the stage would have overturned with perhaps fatal results. The stage was badly dented and all passengers considerably shaken up. Mrs. Gresswell did not realize she was severely hurt until she attempted to alight from the stage at the depot. She required assistance both to leave the bus and in walking. She was taken to the Golden State Hospital accompanied by Manager Watson of the Stage company, where it was found she had a dislocated shoulder and severe bruises. She remained there until one o'clock, then was brought home. Her arm will be in a sling, a week or longer.

An accident occurred late yesterday at Placentia-ave, and West Commonwealth, when a car driven by C. Leland Smith, who lives near Fullerton ran, into a car owned by C. C. Chapman and driven by Y.

RED ELEMENT HERE DISTINCT DANGER The "red" element in the United States, with which Soviet Russia is in active sympathy, constitutes a distinct danger to American governmental institutions, according to George Rice, of the Better America Federation of California, who was today's speaker before the Lions' Club at their luncheon in the Elks' Clubhouse. Rice traced this anti-government element to international anarchists who were organized in Italy 150 years ago and, in one form or another, have maintained an organization ever since. The Lions are backing the Boy Scout show at the Fairyland 100 per cent. Plans for the play to be given at the Fairyland theatre later for the benefit of some facility for the City Park also are progressing. The City Council has voiced its approval of the club's aid.

WOMEN BRITISH COLT Jockey Club Says Careful Inspection Discloses Colt In Fit Condition NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Zev, the three-year-old colt of the Rancocas stables, will carry America's colors against Papyrus in the international race tomorrow. The jockey club made this announcement late this afternoon officially, dispelling the wild rumors and reports current throughout the day that My Own, Admiral Cary T. Grayson's colt, would replace Zev because the latter had broken down in training. The committee of the Jockey Club in a statement declared that following a careful inspection of the colt it was found that he was in fit condition to race against Papyrus. The following statement was issued: "The committee of the Jockey Club decided this afternoon that Zev, its original choice, is in fit condition to race. The first intimation that anything was amiss with Zev came Thursday afternoon after Harry F. Sinclair, owner of the horse, called the attention of the committee to the condition which threatened the fitness of the colt. "After a careful inspection of the horse by the committee this morning and of the opinion of the veteran treating him, the conclusion has been reached that Zev is fit to race. "The committee felt that it was necessary to take precautionary measures and decided to have their substitute candidate, My Own, on the ground. "Admiral Cary T. Grayson consented to this and the colt was shipped by special train this morning and is due to arrive at Belmont Park at 4:30 this afternoon." NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—The New York Evening Journal today printed the following under a Belmont Park date line: "Harry F. Sinclair's Zev may not start against Papyrus in the $100,000 match race here tomorrow. The great colt, it is said, has broken out all over his body and one of his legs has filled. The Jockey Club committee spent several hours in the Rancocas barns examining the colt and they will make an official announcement later in the day. If it is decided that Zev is in no fit condition to race, Admiral Grayson's My Own will be substituted." John R. Quinn Elected On 11th Ballot After Closest Contest SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.—After the longest balloting and the closest contest in the history of the American Legion, John R. Quinn of California, was late today elected national commander. Quinn won out over James A. Drain of Washington, D.C., after the two had run a neck and neck race for several ballots. The Californian nominated as the "educated cowboy" won on the eleventh ballot: Quinn 502; Drain 342; Edwards 80 and Metcalf, 54. The switch of the Indiana and Pennsylvania delegations to Quinn gave him the election. Quinn, a "native son" of California, is a former department commander of California and went overseas as commander of Battery F of the 348th field artillery. He outlined his policies immediately after his election as follows: 1. Passage of the adjusted compensation bill. 2. Accomplishment of the full hospitalization and rehabilitation programs. 3. Exposure of war profiteers. 4. Bringing the legion closer to the people thru community work. 5. Carrying out the legion's Americanism program by deeds, not words. Quinn was called to the platform by retiring national commander Alvin Owsley of Texas and presented to the convention. The Californian was accorded a wild demonstration. Quinn was largely responsible for the 1923 convention coming to San Francisco and popular among the rank and file of the legion. (By Copeland C. Burg) (I. N. S.

BELMONT PARK, Oct. 19.—At 9 o'clock this morning, Sam Hildreth, trainer for the Sinclair stables, ordered Zev, American nominee, for the international race, out on the track for inspection before the Jockey Club Committee.

ELKS CLUB CAFE—Open the public. Catering to parties and quets. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.—After being torn by the bitter fight over adoption of a resolution advocating law-enforcement and tolerance toward all races, colors and creeds, the dove of peace hovered this morning over the fifth annual convention of the American Legion and convention leaders asserted that before final adjournment late today the organization would stand united. The ripples from the storm subsided, the veterans' chiefs were whipping tangled ends together in an effort to ring down the convention, curtain with accomplishment of the most constructive program of working the organization's history. The program featuring a campaign for adjusted compensation, better hospitalization and care for sick and wounded veterans and a more definite stand upon Americanism. Fearing that the bitter battle waged over the passage of resolutions relating to organizations branded as fostering intolerance, might permanently disrupt the veterans, legion leaders were busy today pouring oil on the troubled waters. At the outset of the session this (Continued on Page 2) Attempt to Establish New Aviation Record SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.—Seeking to establish a new record for a non-stop flight by means of re-fueling in the air, four U.S. Army planes were today enroute to the Canadian border. Starting from a suitable flying field to be selected on the Canadian border, Lieut. L. B. Smith with Lieut. L. P. Richter as observer, will attempt to fly to the Mexican border in the vicinity of Tla Juana without stopping. At Eugene, Ore., Lieutenants Hine and Seifert will be waiting with a plane to re-fuel the飞iers in mid-air and Captain Irwin and Lieut. McNeal will perform the same task at Sacramento. The attempt will probably be made next week if flying conditions warrant. Four planes made the trip north to prepare for the flights, stopping at Eugene, Portland and Seattle enroute to the Canadian border. VOLTAGE Another electrocution took place on the H. H. Bemis ranch near Chino late yesterday in the same place where L. D. Pike of Fullerton was electrocuted the previous day, according to reports reaching Fullerton.

George Miller, assisting Wobig, was seriously burned. The Bemis silo was built under a to the So. Cal. Edison Co. high-power electric line belonging to the So. Cal. Edison Co. BUSSES SEEK MORE SPACE FOR PARKING In response to objections from his passengers who oppose stepping into tobacco juice or, in stormy weather, into the wet, Manager O. C. Dwy of the Anaheim Transit Co. is preparing to interview City Manager O. E. Steward to find out if he can't get more parking space at the corners of Center and Los Angeles-ts. Dwy contends that he lands 500 passengers per day from his busses at each of the corners used. A prominent merchant in fact has told him that his bus helped business at the store. At present the busses stick out into the street, because of the narrow space afforded, and are a menace. Dwy is preparing to open a South and East line of buses on Nov. 1. Not long ago he purchased a GMC bus and a Dodge bus, and plans to buy a 16-passenger Dodge bus soon. He also has purchased a $7000 house in the city and believes he can call himself an Anaheimer.

WEST BADEN, Ind., Oct. 19.—Governor John M. Parker of Louisiana, resigned today from the governors' conference when that body, by an overwhelming vote, adopted a resolution sponsored by Governor Sweet of Colorado pledging the states' aid to President Coclidge in enforcing prohibition laws. Parker's action was the final thud in a noisy session that was marked by wild disorder and confusion. When Governor Sweet announced to the session that his resolution was ready, Parker sprang to his feet and objected to it, saying he would resign if it were adopted. He was supported by Governor Blaine of Wisconsin. (By Kenneth W. Clark) WEST BADEN, Ind., Oct. 19.—Sweeping over the so-called wet faction, drys won a smashing victory at the concluding session of the annual governor's conference here today. Following a stormy session behind closed doors, virtually all of the state executives agreed to sign the resolution circulated by Governor Sweet of Colorado, pledging full support of the conference to President Coolidge in the fight to uphold the prohibition law and make the United States thoroughly dry. The triumphs of the drys, however, was scored only after bitter assaults upon the resolution by Governors Parker of Louisiana and Blaine of Wisconsin. Thru the efforts of these two state chiefs, Governor Sweet was forced to eliminate that portion of the resolution which declared that the conference "approved the eleventh amendment." As the resolution now stands, it is restricted solely to an expression that the governors are ready to throw complete and harmonious cooperation of their state agencies "to maintain the integrity of the constitution and the laws of the land," particularly prohibition, narcotic and immigration laws, which are to be the basis of discussion at the White House conference tomorrow afternoon. Blaine attacked the resolution, "I have already taken an oath as governor of Wisconsin to uphold the constitution and I resent any move (Continued on Page 2) REVEALS CROOKED DIPLOMA AWARDS ST.
