PAGE FOUR QUINN FORMALLY ASSUMES COMMAND SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.—While thousands of delegates to the Fifth annual convention of the American Legion were returning to their homes today, John R. Quinn, California's educated cowboy, formerly assumed commandership of the organization and launched to the task of carrying out the year's work as outlined by the veterans here during the week. Quinn, coming from behind in the most dramatic election in the history of the legion, was chosen chief of the fighting men yesterday to succeed Alvin Owley of Texas. The new commander, a native of California, is 34 years old. He is a veteran of the ninety-first division, served overseas in command of battery F. 348th field artillery and was with the army of occupation in Germany. Quinn graduated from the University of California in 1912. Commander Quinn renamed all of the appointive legion officers, as follows: Lemuel Bolles, Seattle, national adjutant; Russell C. Reviston, Indianapolis, assistant adjutant; Eben Putman, Willesley, Mass., historian; Robert Tyndall, Indianapolis, treasurer; Robert A. Adams, Indianapolis adjutant. Five vice commanders chosen by the veterans were Lester Albert, Idaho; C. M. Stoddard, Arizona; William B. Haley, Pennsylvania; Thurman Mann, North Carolina and Ryan Duffy, Wisconsin. Ezra Clemans of Minnesota is the new national chaplain. Members of the American Legion auxiliary selected Mrs. Franklin Bishop of Massachusetts as president. Among the first official acts of Commander Quinn was calling of a meeting of the national executive committee in January at Indiana-polis.

HOLDS OFF POSSE TIL HOUSE BURNS ALEXANDIA, Minn., Oct. 20—After an all-night battle in which he stood off a score of deputies and militiamen who riddled his home with bullets and attempted to gas him with jugs of ammonia, Edward Larson, 38, went to his death at 5 o'clock this morning when his residence was burned to the ground by order of the sheriff and county attorney. During the fierce battle, William Ransden, 25, son of David Ransden, and an ex-service man with a reputation as a sharpshooter, was shot and killed while acting as a special deputy sheriff. Whether Ransden was killed by the barricaded murderer or met death from a stray bullet fired by one of the infiltrators or deputies is expected to be determined today by the coroner. It is beloved the fastl bullet is still in the dead man's body. Larson was wanted for the murder of Jacob Ley, 60, a prominent citizen, whom he killed late yesterday while his victim was demonstrating with him for running his wife and two children out of the house with a gun. Alexandria, which had just recovered from the shock of a quadruple tragedy a month ago when J. Willis Knox, pro-nuncent church worker and manager of the local creamery, killed his wife and two children with an axe and hanged himself, was thrown into a ferment of excitement by the murder of Ley and the thrilling struggle to capture his barricaded murderer. Throut the night the firing kept the citizens on edge.

The regular state fruit growers and farmers convention will be here on the fifth and sixth of Dec. at which vital topics pertaining to Agriculture and Horticulture will be discussed. We would like to bring to Santa Ana as many of those interested in these topics as possible. The regular program will be published later. At these conventions big Agricultural and Horticultural problems are solved and definite plans worked out whereby committees follow up such things as freight rates, legislative, and quarantine matters. We believe that all of the growers of Orange county will be interested and will attend every minute of these important meetings. This is to serve as advance notice, so arrangements can be made to present for the full two days convention. A SHAVE IN 30 SECONDS A clean shave in 30 seconds is made possible by the invention of an electrically-operated safety razor, which is also an electrical vibrator, according to the November issue of Popular Science Monthly. The razor is said to operate on the principle of a saw, to remove the beard painlessly and to be absolutely safe. PARIS SHOPS REGAIN FAVOR Paris, Oct. 20—The coming year promises to be one of the most brilliant ever known in the history of the large Parisian designers. Reports from the Rue de la Paix say that foreign buyers have never been so numerous, and never have their orders been more bountiful than this season. Since 1920, there has been a decided diminution in the exports for America. In spite of the favorable exchange, buyers complained of prohibitive prices and went home to content themselves with home products, which evidently have not been so satisfactory, for they have returned this season in greater numbers than ever before. Premet, one of the largest designers on the Rue de la Paix, says that this pleasant revival is also due to the success of the different collections. Clothes that are being shown are wearable as well as beautiful. The silhouette is graceful for both young and old, fat and slim—for the Paris dressmaker is an artist of long study. TEXAN TO DIVORCE "LETTERSU BRIDE" BOSTON, Oct. 20—Charles W Albert of Malden has filed a petition for divorce. Albert testified his bride left him on his wedding day five years ago and that he has never seen her since she went to Hartford, Conn., and wrote him a letter once a week saying she would not live with him preferring to be a "correspondence and platonic bride." $1000 Cash Prize the Contributing Cause LOS ANGELES the Largest Daily and Sunday —printing more columns of new issue of advertising, and a larger number of other daily, weekly or monthly news articles.

The gates of the Atlanta federal prison were thrown open recently to George C. Chatterton, physician-editor-prisoner known throughout the nation as editor of "Good Words," the official organ of prison inmates, and he walked out to freedom. Chatterton, Oxford University student and graduate in medicine, was sentenced to serve four years on each of four counts alleging forgery. The District of Columbia Judge who passed sentence failed to specify the manner in which the four sentences should be served. H served separately, the total term would have been 16 years, but Judge Samuel H. Sibley, of the Atlanta federal court, following decisions made many times in the past, ruled that in the absence of specific terms in the original sentence it must be construed that the four counts had been satisfied concurrently.

TEXAS CELEBRATES 75TH ANNIVERSARY FORT WORTH, Oct. 20—Seven-five years ago, when grizzled pioneers flayed unceasingly from dawn to dark their obstinate oxen, when greasy-haired sheiks of today would have failed to qualify as even inferior Indian fodder, when a dust-coated troop of weary cavalry dismounted and called their journey at an end, Fort Worth was born a vigorous infant in these once great open spaces of the west. Today the aforementioned greasy-haired sheiks, garbed in the pieturesque sombrero and clinking spurs, seek to commemorate the courageousness of their rugged forefathers in the 75th anniversary of Fort Worth, and though it is difficult to visualize the suffering of those indomitable adventurers in the sleekness of these youthful masqueraders of today, yet in a small way its object has been accomplished. For 21 days the city fathers have decreed that tribute should be paid these intrepid pioneers and have further declared the garb of three quarters of a century ago as the order of the day. The celebration will be concluded Oct. 16. GIANT X-RAY FIGHTS CANCER Announcement was made recently by Dr. Lewis Friedman, noted radiologist and cancer expert, that by the use of a 250,000-volt X-ray, he had succeeded in reducing one dimension of an internal abdominal cancer three-quarter of an inch, and that he was hopeful of effecting cures.—November Popular Science Monthly. BIRDS MAY HALT IN TRIP TO SOUTH NEW HAVEN, Oct. 19—Perhaps the southern migration of birds will be delayed this year.
