In his place, however, Aaron A. Smith, a special deputy, whose duties were to guard against any such contingencies, will be arraigned on a charge of having assisted in the escape of the prisoner. Walsh was to have learned this morning the date of his execution for the murder of Albert Johnson, aged Reno, Nevada, merchant.

Valencia With the season practically closed in the Anaheim district, a total of 7666 cars of citrus fruit, including three or four cars of lemons, has been shipped from the Anaheim district since Nov. 1, 1922, inquiry of the railways today showed. This total conforms quite closely with the latest estimates of the aggregate. West Anaheim, which ships only over the Southern Pacific, shipped 1156 cars out of the total. The Union Pacific made a fair beginning with 56 cars, shipped from one house, the Orange County Valencia Co. The Anaheim Valencia Growers is the only house that still is shipping from the district in carload lots, and its aggregate is virtually complete. WEBB EXONERATED WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Oct. 22. Charles Webb, husband of the late Mrs. Gertrude Gorman Webb, wealthy clubwoman, today was completely exonerated of all responsibility in the death of his wife, in a presentment returned by the Westchester county grand jury. Mrs. Webb died Sept. 25, at the exclusive Westchaster - Biltmore country club. Friends and relatives charged that bichloride of mercury had been given her during her illness, which caused her death. TWO SLIGHTLY HURT IN MOTOR CRASH Two men were slightly injured in an accident at Maple and Center Sts., according to report to local police yesterday. The accident is said to have occurred when a car driven by Hoyt G. Compton of Anaheim was struck by a car driven by G. A. Bandinat of Los Angeles, the latter car being overturned. Both cars were damaged. An accident was reported on Lincoln ave. when a car driven by D. W. Le Duc was run into by a Ford driven by W. M. Crockett of Fullerton, the windshield on the Ford being broken and the face of a woman cut. E. L.

Jefferson county officials declared that the escape was engineered by someone on the inside. Little belief is held out for his capture as it is said Walsh's friends are many, and it is thought he was helped across the line into Canada almost before his absence was discovered. BONE KETTLE STUDIED BY SPECIALIST By KENT COCHRAN (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) SAN DIEGO, Oct. 22. The grewome "kettle of bones" found hidden in the chapparal on the side of a canyon back of the Mission Drive home of George Schick missing reefor, was taken today to the laboratory of Dr. H. A. Thompson, bone specialist. Dr. Thompson's scientific examination of the score or more of charred bone fragments, which officers feel confident are from a human body, will determine, according to District Attorney Kempley, whether or not E. Drew Clark will be charged with the slaying of his missing business partner. Clark, a Burns detective said today, is a man of many aliases. He has worked as salesman in Seattle, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Honolulu and many other western cities His correct name, the authorities claim, is Everett Drew Clark, and he has at various times transposed the three words of his name, often omitting two or three other of them. More light was shed on the strange happenings at Mission Drive home on the evening of February 7, last, the date of Schick's disappearance, when F. A. Comstock, a neighbor, appeared before the authorities and MRS. S.

Or you might call it suspected trespassing. The police receive many calls per week from frightened housewives. Last night just after 10 o'clock, somebody telephoned in that a man had broken into the house next door to 1068 W. Second street, cutting the screen and opening the door. It was a false alarm. The occupants were returning home. At 1:15 o'clock in the afternoon one Molly Monikee of the Clinton apartments at Fourth and Ross sts., phoned that a young man wearing a sweater and cap, was standing under the window. She yelled and the fellow vanished. When somebody isn't in the house, he is peeping in. "Peeping Toms" in fact have been as common as suspected trespassers or burglars. At 3:35 p.m. yesterday, W. A. Armstrong of $18 E. Third street, phoned in that a man was in the house. Officer Krauchi called, but found no one. SNOW IN ONTARIO SUDBURY, Ont., Oct. 22.—A two-foot snowfall has blocked railroad traffic in northern Ontario, where a blizzard was raging today. Snow fell over Lake Superior, at Sault Ste. Marie, and over Michigan. WOOD TO MINDANAO MANILA, Oct. 22.—Governor General Leonard Wood, accompanied by General Read, was scheduled to leave for Mindanao to investigate the uprising of the Moro fanatics. More light was shed on the strange happenings at Mission Drive home on the evening of February 7, last, the date of Schick's disappearance, when F. A. Comstock, a neighbor, appeared before the authorities and told of seeing several pieces of old furniture and three partly filled gunny sacks loaded into a light truck. He and his wife noticed particularly, he said, because the delapidated furniture coming from a home they knew to contain only new things, struck them as passing strange. Two hours later, however, they were nonplussed to see the truck return with the same furniture. Watching the affair, they said, it was noted that the furniture was unloaded but the sacks were missin. Pending completion of the analysis of the bone fragments by Dr. Thompson, which is expected to consume from one to four days, the two dozen detectives and the county authorities today redoubled their work along other lines. The mystery has so many angles, they say, that many more days will be required to check up on all of them. One of the various lines of inquiry yet to be probed leads to the astrological and occult influences on the lives of the three persons now in jail on charges of forgery—Clark. Mrs. Etta Drew Clark, his divorced wife, and Mrs. Schick. The latter has signed a full confession of forging the power of attorney by which execution of Schick's $70,000 estate was obtained, the confession implicating all three Mrs. Schick was reported today to be under the care of the county physician. The nervous strain following the denouncement taxed her powers of resistance, the condition being aggravated by the fact that she is expected to give birth to a child within two months.

DEPICTS GOOD AND BAD IN ADVERTISING ASK COOLIDGE TO TAKE OVER ENFORCEMENT Urge Real Prohibitionist Be Placed in Charge And Held Responsible By GEORGE R. HOLMES I. N. S. Staff Correspondent MRS. STOKES Attempts to Prove Witnesses For Aged Millionaire Resorted to Perjury NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The state, through Ferdinand Pecora, assistant district attorney, joined forces with Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes today in an effort to prove that witnesses for her 73-year-old millionaire husband, Wm. Earl Dodge Stokes, seeking a divorce, had resorted to perjured testimony. Pecora took the witness stand, testifying Joseph Thornton, one of Stokes' stay witnesses, had admitted to him that he, Thornton, was mistaken when he identified Mrs. Stokes as a woman who visited the partment of Edgar T. Wallace, San Francisco oil man, co-respondent in the case. Thornton signed a statement for Pecora, admitting his "mistake." Thornton testified his statement was obtained by "third degree" methods. Pecora denied the charge. Pecora testified he examined Thornton and got an admission from the witness that he had been mistaken in his identification of Mrs. Stokes. NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—W. E. D. Stokes was called as a witness for his wife today, when she began her defense against his suit for divorce. The aged millionaire, seeking to divorce the young and beautiful Helen Elwood Stokes and obtain the custody of their two children, provoked a hostile witness. Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for Mrs. Stokes, tried to question Stokes about the birth of his two children, but Justice Mahoney would not permit him to answer. To almost every question Untermyer put to the witness, Max D. Steuer, his attorney, shouted objections. BY JACK CARBERRY (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—William Earl Dodge Stokes, 73-year-old millionaire, today closed his suit for divorce from Helen Elwood Stokes, his pretty young wife, after using 21 witnesses in an effort to prove she had been friendly with Edgar T. Wallace. Most of the witnesses were negro servants who testified they had seen Mrs. Stokes at Wallace's alleged "love flat" on Fifth-ave. Wallace, the co-respondent, was in the courtroom as Stokes closed his case, prepared to take the stand to CARL A. BUNDY ADVERTISING MAN TALKS TO ROTARY Anaheim Rotarians listened intently today noon to Carl A. Bundy, Los Angeles advertising expert, who spoke on the "Invisible Power of Advertising." As illustrations he displayed the individual style of type used by the Hupmobile, the Cadillac Insignia, Y. M. C. A. seal and Old Dutch Cleaner, Cream of Wheat, Royal Baking Powder and other advertisings. He pointed out bad as well as good points in advertising and referred to the modern tendency of stressing the human interest appeal. For instance, he displayed one Royal Baking Powder ad showing a chef perched on top of a can which he termed clownish and a waste of money. As an advertisement of the same product which would bring results he showed a picture of a child peering longingly thru a window at an appetizing cake. The slogan, "Preserve that School Girl Complexion," accompanying attractive illustrations, was commended for its invisible appeal for women. As illustrations from his own work, he told of the selection of city advertising slogans: "Redlands—the City above the Average" and "Riverside—the City with a Mission Inn Its Heart." Following the address, President Thos. McFadden of the club expressed the hope Anaheim may have a slogan. SLIGHT INCREASE IN COST OF LIVING WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—Although the cost of living in the Enforcement Urge Real Prohibitionist Be Placed in Charge And Held Responsible By GEORGE R. HOLMES I. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—On the beels of the departing governors who attended the prohibition conference at the White House Saturday came renewed pressure today to "compel" President Coolidge to assume personal command of dry law enforcement. Governor Gifford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, first suggested that Mr. Coolidge accept personal responsibility for enforcing the Volstead law and he reiterated it last night in a parting filing at the "orgy of lawlessness" which the federal government, he said, seems powerless or unwilling to check. Today the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist-Episcopal Church took up Governor Pinchot's battle cry and accompanied it with a demand Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair and Assistant Prohibition Commissioner James Jones be relieved of connection with prohibition enforcement. The board said in a formal statement: "Commissioner Haynes is an honest man and a man of ability. He is a sincere prohibitionist, and if permitted could do the country a service. He is not being permitted." The board made four recommendations to President Coolidge as how he could solve the prohibition problem. "The thing has been checked up to President Coolidge. He is an honest man. He wants to see the law enforced. The time has come for him to see that it is enforced, and see it personally. There are several things he could do: 1—He could favor the creation of the prohibition unit as a separate bureau; with a real prohibitionist having real power at the head of it; one who can be held responsible for results. 2—Or he could replace the present commissioner of internal revenue (Blair) with a fighting prohibitionist, letting the new commissioner and Haynes reconstruct the unit, cleansing it of politics and worse—if worse should be discovered." Earl Dodge Stokes, 73-year-old millionaire, today closed his suit for divorce from Helen Elwood Stokes, his pretty young wife, after using 21 witnesses in an effort to prove she had been friendly with Edgar T. Wallace. Most of the witnesses were negro servants who testified they had seen Mrs. Stokes at Wallace's alleged "love flat" on Fifth ave. Wallace, the co-respondent, was in the courtroom as Stokes closed his case, prepared to take the stand to refute the charges against himself and Mrs. Stokes. One witness was called today for Stokes. Samuel Untermyer, counsel for Mrs. Stokes, announced that his client waived her rights which bid the husband to testify against her and said he was anxious to have the husband take the stand. In questioning the last witness today, Untermyer charged that Hattie Johnson, negro detective, employed by Stokes, had been acting as a spiritualistic medium and had held sentences for the 16 negro women and four men who testified for Stokes. He alleged that Stokes had appeared at one of three senances, garbed in a sheet, and holding aloft a scroll with the words: "A bill of divorce." This Untermyer charged, was a sign from heaven, according to the Johnson woman's statement to the witness. Untermyer made an unsuccessful effort to force Stakes to take the stand, his motion to that effect being overruled by Justice Mahoney. When Stokes closed his case he had 48 witnesses under call. WALLACE TO FIGHT AGED MILLIONAIRE CHICAGO, Oct. 22. — Edgar T. Wallace, mining engineer of New York and San Francisco, will arrive in New York today to testify for Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes in the divorce proceedings brought by her husband, W. E. D. Stokes. He is bringing a "suitcase full of evidence, enough to blast all charges" made against him and the wife of the millionaire turfman. Wallace changed trains in Chicago Sunday on his way to New York. "The most damnable outrage that ever got into an American court," (Continued on page three) SLIGHT INCREASE IN COST OF LIVING WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. — Although the cost of living in the United States advanced 20.5 per cent from June, 1920, to Sept. 1923, and 3.5 per cent during the last year, the increase since June of this year is only 1.4 per cent, according to figures made public today by the department of labor.

C. ladies are asked to remember the drill practice tomorrow afternoon at 1:20 in Odd Fellows hall. All are asked to be there promptly as the practice is important, and is in preparation of the contest which will be staged at the meeting Nov. 6. GOT WOMEN'S GOAT F. J. Yates, Fullerton police patrolman, affirmed today that he had someone's "goat." He was able to prove it; for just outside the police station, tied to a tree, stood a bleating Billy. Mr. Yates said that Billy was very friendly with the women folks, and that had gotten him into trouble. He was loose on the street, and every time he would see a woman he would try to march up to her and make friends. But the ladies were not anxious about Billy's friendship, and invariably made a rush to get away from him. He said the men in the vicinity where he picked Billy up were having a "barrel of fun." WANT BRANCH BANKS WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. — The states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, Iowa and Illinois today asked U.S. supreme court for permission to participate in the arguments of the case of the First National Bank of St. Louis against the State of Missouri, involving a claimed right by the national bank to establish a branch bank. The Missouri state law prohibits branch banking within the state. The St. Louis bank and the government contends states have no jurisdiction over national banks.

Only the presence of mind of the chauffeur who heard the fire siren above the din of the cheering people and swerved, prevented a crash, which might have been fatal. Both Lloyd George and Governor McCray stood up and wiped the sweat from their brows. 2 BADLY HURT BY MOB OF DANCERS Police Believe Wounded Men Were Victims of Mistaken Identity Two Mexicans, Joe and Eusebio Mendera, of the Placencia Orange BOOZE SQUAD GETS LIQUOR AT YORBA Topping a raid Friday night in which $50 or 400 gallons of wine were seized northeast of La Habra, the Sheriff's deputies on Saturday night captured Y. Agundez at Yorba with 100 gallons of the same beverage. Justice J. B. Cox today gave Agundez his choice between a fine of $500 or 250 days in jail. Most of Sheriff Sam Jernigan's deputies participated in the capture, and the fluid seized, which was in barrels, today fills the outer office of the anti-crime chief in Santa Ana. Deputy Ed McCillan declared Agundez had been using a garbage can in which to prepare the stuff. CHARRED REMAINS OF MAN, 60, FOUND FRESNO, Oct. 22.—Following discovery of the cherred remains of a man supposed to be Frank A. Lees, 60, for many years a resident of Fresno, was found yesterday when police broke into a blazing shack about three miles from the heart of the city. Police today were searching for an unidentified woman who had been known to visit the small house which was used by Lees only occasionally for sleeping purposes. When the police were called to the house, they found the door, which was the only means of exit, padlocked with a heavy lock on the outside and were forced to break the door down to effect an entrance. Officers were handicapped in their efforts to reach the body of the dead by fire, which was only one or two minutes away. DANGERS Police Believe Wounded Men Were Victims of Mistaken Identity Two Mexicans, Joe and Easelmo Mendoza, of the Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n camp at Fullerton were badly injured last midnight in a free-for-all fight in front of the home of M. Avilla, in the Sugar Factory district, where Mexicans were having a dance. The two men who, with three companions were in a Chalmers car, stopped in front of the house and were set upon by about 25 men with knives and clubs and were well-nigh dispatched before they could be rescued by Anahelm police. They went brot then to the police station where they were given surgical attention by Dr. John W. Truxaw. J. R. Borbon, K. Saenz and A. H. Mendoza, companions of the injured men, found safety in flight. It was one of them who called the police. Details of the battle vary. According to the two injured men, substantiated by their companions, they had been to a show and on their way home to Fullerton, decided to drive by the dance at Avilla's. As they came up, according to their story, someone hollowed outside somewhere. A man came out from the dance and asked who it was that hollowed. They replied that they did not know. In answer, he set upon the elder Mendoza with a knife, followed by a wholesale charge by the men at the dance upon the car. The younger Mendoza was struck on the head with a brick and dragged out of the car, from which time he says he does not remember anything. This part of the story is confirmed by the brick print on his head, and by the fact that the car in which they were riding is battered by stone, and the door torn off and the police found three knives at the scene of the battle. The story of the dancers, however, contradicts this story in some details. They say that several men in a larger car came to the dance and tried to entice a young girl. This incensed everyone and a fight inside ensued, the men "beating it". Later, some men drew up outside and were attacked by the men at the dance. The police, trying to harmonize the two versions hold the theory that it is possible several men in a large car come to the dance and insult a young girl, incensing the whole crowd. That they fled, and that the POLICE TODAY WERE SEARCHING FOR AN UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN WHO HAD BEEN KNOWN TO VISIT THE SMALL HOUSE WHICH WAS USED BY LEES ONLY OCCasionally FOR SLEEPING PURPOSES. WHEN THE POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE HOUSE, THEY FOUND THE DOOR, WHICH WAS THE ONLY MEANS OF EXIT, PADLOCKED WITH A HEAVY LOCK ON THE OUTSIDE AND WERE FORCED TO BREAK THE DOOR DOWN TO EFFECT AN ENTRANCE. OFFICERS WERE HANDCAPPED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO REACH THE BODY OF THE DEAD MAN BY THE FIRE WHICH WAS ONLY EXTINGUISHED AFTER STrenuous Work By THE POLICE. BESIDE THE MAN'S BODY LAY A DOUBLE BARRELLED SHOTGUN WITH ONE EXPLoded SHELL IN THE CHAMBER. THE STOCK OF THE GUN WAS BURNED OFF. SIX ARRESTED ON BOOTLEG CHARGES Six alleged bootleggers were picked up over the week-end by Fullerton police, the charges being transporting liquor. Five were picked up in one party: L. N. Johnson, Fred Brown, J. Conder, R. H. Davidson and Clyde Chesnut, all of Los Angeles. They were fined $40 each. Thomas Guardado, of Fullerton, charged with the same offense, was fined $200. John Price, charged with drunkenness, was fined $15. Thomas Rodriguez, charged with ragrancy, was sentenced to 30 days in the Orange County jail. W. A. Carroll, charged with drunkenness, was turned over to the Brea marshal. BUILDS APARTMENT A permit in behalf of Mrs. Julia L. Carpenter was taken out Saturday for a 32-room apartment court at Richman and Whiting avenues, Fullerton, to cost approximately $32,000. This will include, it is said, a four-apartment two-story stucco building facing Whiting, two duplex bungalows facing Richman avenue, and a five-stall garage facing Chapman. The contractor is Jesse E. Ellis. Other Fullerton permits; W. C. Sterrott, 4-room bungalow, 123 W. Maple ave., $2750; and J. T. MeManis, 1961 E. Chapman ave., two-room addition to residence, $700. FOR RESULTS USE The Plain Dealer. THE STORY OF THE DANCERS, however, contradicts this story in some details. They say that several men in a larger car came to the dance and tried to entice a young girl. This incensed everyone and a fight inside ensued, the men "beating it". Later, some men drew up outside and were attacked by the men at the dance. The police, trying to harmonize the two versions hold the theory that it is possible several men in a large car did come to the dance and insult a young girl, incensing the whole crowd. That they fled, and that the Mendoza boys also in a large car arrived at the dance just at the inappropriate time and were mindaken for the ones who had just left, and therefore, much to their own surprise, were badly assaulted by the infuriated dancers. Three Mexicans were arrested and taken to Santa Ana on suspicion of having led the assault. They are Frank Mantiel, E. Gongoles, and Manuel Abbla. D. Jessurum, superintendent of the sugar factory, told officers that Avilla had seen an employee of his for six years, and that he would be inclined to believe Avilla's story in regard to the affray. Miss Margaret Shea, teacher at the Americanization camp at Fullerton, on the other hand voiced her confidence in the story of the Mendoza boys. She said that in all her dealings with them she had found them to be gentlemen and that she does not believe that they could be the ones who by misconduct had incensed the people at the dance. FILIPINOS REQUEST CHANGES IN POLICY WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Secretary of War Weeks this afternoon announced the receipt of a communication from certain members of the Philippine legislature requesting changes in the administration policy of Governor-General Leonard Wood. The details were not revealed, but Weeks said he would refer it to President Coolidge. EX-PREMIER DIES SHANGHAI, Oct. 22.
