DRY AGENT LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20—George Contreras head of the enforcement dry squad in this district, renewed today the investigation of reported threats against the life of Ous Harris county prohibition officer, who dropped dead while waiting for an elevator in the hall of records late yesterday. Pending an autopsy, which was ordered to determine whether Harris died of natural causes or was the victim of poison, clues were being traced today to determine which members of an alleged bootleg ring made threats against Harris. RICH S. A. NAN STATE MUST TO EN Coolidge Tell Is As Much As U. S. Missing Realty Broker Slain, Believe Authorities of San Diego County SAN DIEGO, Oct. 20.—Two small jointed bones, believed by detectives to be from a human hand, were found today in the yard back of the Drive home of George E. Schleck, missing real estate broker. The bones appear to have been boiled. They were taken immediately to County Autopsy Surgeon Shea for examination. The Burns operatives also found other pieces of charred bones, buttons from a man's underwear, a vest buckle and other small articles, all showing they had been either in fire or boiling water. The investigators were today concentrating on the information given them by Mrs. R. L. Gilbert, a neighbor, who has made affidavit that on three evenings following the disappearance of Schick she observed fires in the Schick yard and saw persons carrying small sacks down the canyon below the house. District Attorney Kempley at noon released that portion of Mrs. Schick's signed confession in which she acknowledged to be false the story she told to the state department at Washington to the effect that her husband had been killed south of Mexico City. By KENT COCHRAN (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SAN DIEGO, Oct. 20.—George E. Schick, missing realty broker, was murdered according to belief of San Diego-co authorities. Mrs. Margaret Schick, his wife, in a full and complete confession of forgery of her husband's name in order to obtain control of their estate, gave the authorities clews which convinced them the body was hidden in San Diego-co. This was the statement of District Attorney Kempley today. "Mrs. Schick's confession implicates herself, E. Drew Clark and May Drew Clark in forgery of the power of attorney." Kempley said. "Also if we can find the body, we now have ample evidence to charge Clark with the actual murder. We have every reason to believe that our search for the corpse will prove successful." The district attorney intimated that Mrs. Schick, in her 72 page typewritten statement, made a clean breast of everything she knows surrounding the mystery. Her knowl- Attorney Kempley today. "Mrs. Schick's confession implicates herself, E. Drew Clark and May Drew Clark in forgery of the power of attorney." Kempley said. "Also, if we can find the body, we now have ample evidence to charge Clark with the actual murder. We have every reason to believe that our search for the corpse will prove successful." The district attorney intimated that Mrs. Schick, in her 72 page typewritten statement, made a clean breast of everything the knows surrounding the mystery. Her knowledge, however, does not extend to the actual killing and disposal of the body, it was assumed. Clark, officers believe, purposely kept from his confessed love mate details of the alleged crime. The former movie actor, man of the world, and self confessed "love pirate," has gained for himself the distinction of being "the coolest man in the court house." He stands six feet three, weighs 240 pounds, and his demeanor has never in the least been ruffled during the probe. The authorities appeared to be convinced today that they will discover the body not far from the Mission Drive home of the Schickes. Sheriff Byers at 11 o'clock dispatched a squad of ten deputies and detectives to the residence, armed with picks and shovels. It is planned, he said, to thoroughly search the grounds of the home, the picturesque canyon and several hundred acres of sage brush which is spread out behind the house. Mrs. R. L. Nichols, a neighbor on Mission Drive, has made affidavit that she and her sister heard sounds of a terrific struggle in the Schickes home on the night Schick disappeared, and did not subsequently see or be seen automobile leave the place. Mr. Mrs. Schick and Mrs. Ik were to be questioned again today by the district attorney, Sheriff J. C. Byers and private detectives, in an effort to gain further light, if possible, upon the location of the body, or whereabouts of the missing man in case he has not met death. The authorities let up on the case at midnight last night, being forced by physical exhaustion to seek rest. The feeling was general among the more than a score of officers when they left the county jail last night that the progress already made would lead them to a quick solution of the sensational mystery today or tomorrow. A meeting of the Fullerton Realty board was held last night at the California Hotel in honor of "Lennie Tannar, five-year-old orator who told of Fullerton's opportunities at the recent state convention of Realtors. He repeated his oration at last night's meeting, and was given an ovation and made an honorary member of the board. His father and mother and sister were also honored guests at the meeting, and accompanying luncheon. Speakers included; H. H. Crooke, C. A Bruce, W. M. Hunt, and Ralph G. Robrer.

Woodward, charged with grand larceny, was arraigned late yesterday before Judge Brown and held for a preliminary hearing on a bail of $1.500, being consigned to the Orange-co jail in default of bond. The complaint against her was signed by C. P. Holl who obtained a warrant to search her premises for certain articles which he said had then stolen from him. Police stated articles described by Holt were found on her premises, and also some moonshine liquor. Not at home when the search was made, she was picked up last evening as she returned from Los Angeles. W. A. Ryan was in the house at the time of the search, and is being held in the local jail as a suspect. Z. Tart of Placentia, 72, charged with being drunk, was sent home. He said he had not taken a touch of liquor in many years, but was induced to drink a small quantity of cider in a local pool hall which made him "daffy".

S. Govt's. ZEV WINNER OF $100,000 CLASSIC Sinclair Colt Leads Great Papyrus in Muddy Field By Five Lengths WINNER AN Coolidge Tells Governors It Is As Much Their Duty As U. S. Govt's. (By Kenneth W. Clark) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—President Coolidge told the governors of 30 odd states at the White House this afternoon that it is as much their duty to enforce the prohibition law as it is the federal government's. He told them that the 18th amendment and the Volstead law confer joint responsibility on state and nation. Enforcement of the prohibition laws, the president declared, "Is not a political question and cannot be made a political question." Every line of the president's brief speech to the governors, whom he had invited to the White House, stressed the fact that law enforcement is not the peculiar function of the federal government, but of the states, counties and municipalities—and it is to the communities in the long run, he said, that "a law abiding people" must look for protection against the lawless elements who smuggle booze, narcotics and aliens who have no right to enter the United States. President Coolidge was followed by Attorney General Daugherty, Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and other federal officials and they emphasized the same point made by the president—that the states and communities must co-operate with aid the federal government in enforcing prohibitory laws. President Coolidge made no concrete suggestions to the governors for bettering present conditions. His address dealt with law enforcement solely from a broad and general standpoint of federal and state cooperation, and Attorney General Daugherty made but one such suggestion. The attorney general proposed that when the governors returned to their homes, they summon state authorities of police officials, mayors, etc., to map out vigorous state campaigns for adequate enforcement. Speaking for the federal government, the president pledged state authorities every possible agency for a enforcement of laws and for cooperation in the enforcement measures they take locally. The problems of law enforcement, said, must be taken directly to American people. Sinclair Colt Leads Great Papyrus in Muddy Field By Five Lengths BELMONT PARK, N. Y., Oct. 20. Zev, mighty colt of the Sinclair string, won the great international race for the honor of two continents and a purse of $100,000 this afternoon, beating off the British champion, Papyrus, by five lengths on a mud-heavy track. The son of The Fin made a stirring chase of it from the flagpole to finish. Racing to the front long before the eighth pole and staying at the pace theneoforth, inspite of repeated valorous efforts of Steve Donoghus to bring the English entry up from the rear. Time for the winner, 2:35 2-5 was almost seven second off the track record, established by Man O' War, but fast considering the conditions. It was too fast for Papyrus. The latter broke away in front getting the jump on Zev and racing away like a badly scared animal, but inside of 100 yards the Sinclair colt came up on the inside and poked his intelligent nose to the fore. It is a matter of record that he kept it there. Turning into the back stretch, he had a length lead on Papyrus, but Donoghue proceeded to bring the latter along, and at five furlongs was less than half a length behind. It was the only bid that Papyrus had in him. He hung on like a grim shadow until a quarter mile from home and then found he hadn't a thing left when Sande went to the whip and kicked Zev down the stretch. With ever-lengthening stride Zev came on to the wire leaving the British champion floundering in his wake. At the finish he had a long five lengths to his advantage and a great crowd, estimated between 65,000 and $75,000 opened their concerted larynx and gave a cheer that a true champion deserves. Altho informal wagering made Zev a four to five and Papyrus an even money proposition, some hours before the race, the case-hardened bookies declined to be a party to the proceedings. An hour before the race they had laid no odds whatever ap parently being influenced in this attitude by a laudable desire to see the direction in which the cat might Above is shown "Papyrus," winner of enough for "Zev," the Rancocas sta ble for the three-year-old champion of the year.

MAKE RECORD LIQUOR HAUL AT LA HABRA Between 350 and 400 gallons of wine were seized last evening north-east of LaHabra in a raid by Deputy Sheriffs etc., aided by Officers Leo Martin of Fullerton. V. Yuate, about 50, was held and paid a fine of $200 today to Justice J. B. Cox in Santa Ana. This amount of liquor is by far The attorney general proposed that when the governors returned to their homes, they summon state conferences of police officials, mayors, etc., to map out vigorous state campaigns for adequate enforcement. Speaking for the federal government, the president pledged state ecstates every possible agency for a enforcement of laws and for cooperation in the enforcement measures they take locally. The problems of law enforcement, I said, must be taken directly to American people. They are not a nation of indians," he declared. "They are a people who can be charged being hypocrites. They have foued their government and enacted their laws with all due solemnity of their welfare. This great law-abiding element one nation is entitled to protect. I propose to give that support and protection to the limit, provided by the constitution and the law of the land against every lawless eleme. Neither the 18th amendment nor the prohibition nor the exhibition undertakes to relieve the states of their responsibility. On the other hand, the amendments jurisdiction upon them. The prohibition act authorizes state and local prosecuting attorneys to be injunction proceedings in any court having equity powers in the name of the United States."

PLANT UPON SANTA FE Directors Vote to Abandon Old Location, First Big Directors Vote to Abandon Old Location, First Big One in Anaheim Another big, modern citrus packing house was announced today by Manager W. H. Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n. It will be erected for the association by the Santa Fe railway on the southside of East Center-st opposite the Santa Fe station. Frank K. Benchley of Fullerton is architect for the railway company. It is estimated the house will cost approximately $52,000. It will be 100x130 feet and will be constructed of tile and stucco. The front will be set back from Center-st ten feet and will be finished ornately, set off by attractive landscaping. Directors announce it will be an improvement the city may be proud of. The association directors yesterday afternoon voted to give up the lease with the So. Pac. Ry. next July on the old house at Claudina-st and S. P. tracks. The Santa Fe will buy the usable machinery in the old house. The association will pay rent for the new house at the rate of six per cent of the cost, this return being fixed by the railroad commission. The association had before it three propositions: the S. P. was anxious to remodel the old house in any way desired, even to excavating a much-needed basement while the Santa Fe and U. P. were anxious to construct new houses. The association directors decided that a new fire-proof house on another railroad from the S. P. would be very advantageous. "We already have a modern house in West Anaheim on the S. P.," said Manager Schureman. "The old house is a fire-trap and we felt that a new house on the Santa Fe would be a big convenience to East Anaheim growers and also give us additional assurance against car shortage which always occurs at this time of the year." "We have packed no fruit in the old house since the miscellaneous varieties were cleaned up last spring. We moved all this season's valencias, a total of 650 cars, from the West Anaheim at a saving in handling expense of $12 per car over the old house, or total of $7872." Today we shipped our last car of valencias. Shipments of all varieties this season totalled 710 cars. GEASE 'ALL CREDITS (By S. D. Weyer) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) BERLIN, Oct. 20—The Berlin government today ceased all wage credits to the German workers in the Ruhr, officially ending passive resistance against Franco-Belgian occupation. It is feared a terrific social and economic crisis may follow. The government has been pouring billions of marks into the Ruhr weekly since it was occupied to support workmen whether they worked or not. Hugo Stinnes, the industrial and coal magnate, has for the second time conferred with General De Goutte, commander of the French army in the Ruhr, regarding working conditions under French occupation. General De Goutte insisted upon delivery of reparations coal as well as free coal for the railways in occupied territory and the troops. General De Goutte virtually threatened a coal blockade against unoccupied Germany. Stinnes tried to argue that the French demands were impossible, but De Goutte insisted and the conference ended in a deadlock. Generals Von Lossow, relchswehr commander in Bavaria, was dismissed because he failed to obey the first order to suppress the Hitlerite newspaper Voelkische Beobachter. Also, Von Lossow refused to heed the recall from Berlin and paid no attention to Berlin's demand that he resign. His dismissal was sent by special courier by President Ebert at midnight. Minister Gesaler threatened to blockade Bavarian railways, telegraphs and the postal service in Munich backed up Von Lossow. BAVARIA THREATENS MUNICH, Oct. 20—Bavaria today sent a note to Berlin threatening armed resistance if the "German state attempts to violate Bavarian sovereignty." 30,000 MINERS QUIT HALLE, Germany, Oct. 20—Thirty thousand German coal miners went on strike in the fields around Halle today.
