WEATHER Fair and warm tonight and Saturday ANIMALS WITH CIRCUS WHICH GO IN WINTER QUARTERS TOMORROW SAYS BOXING CANNOT BE REGULATED The new anti-boxing ordinance to be presented to the Board of Supervisors next Tuesday for action by District Attorney A. P. Nelson will provide for the complete banning of the sport from Orange County, R. R. Miller, County Probation Officer, declared today. The counties have the option of saying whether they shall or shall not have public boxing bouts or prize fights, but if they permit them, the sport comes under state supervision. It is impossible to regulate boxing, according to Miller, who accused clubs in general of not conforming to the state law. For example, the statement regarding age of "a pork and bean prize fighter," as Miller termed them is accepted without question by the proprietor of an arena, provided that fighter looks the age. Miller said that this class of men, of whom there were quite a few in the county, were undesirable, particularly as companions of the younger and less sophisticated. The anti-dance hall ordinance will provide for a license fee of $200, and proper policing and lighting. CLAIM MAN MET DEATH IN BRAWL LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16. That A. D. McAllister, an asserted hobo, who was found stabbed to death on the Santa Fe railroad tracks near Claremont, had been murdered by the two self-asserted framps Tom Murphy and Tom McCallister, who claimed they found the body, was the theory advanced by the sheriff's office here while the two men were held in the Pomona jail, pending a coroner's inquest. Evidence found at the scene of the slaying led deputy sheriffs to believe the man came to his death as the result of a drunken brawl. It is claimed the hoboes drank "enforced heat" in lieu of bootleg liquor. LIONS MAKE $500 FOR FOUNTAIN Gross receipts of $700 and net of some $500 were received by the Lions' club from the first performance of "Are You a Mason?" according to the report made at today's lunchcon meeting in the Elks' clubhouse. At the second show receipts were naturally smaller, because no tickets were sold outside the box office, but the crowd was of surprisingly good size, it was declared. The spot where the drinking fountain will be set up in City Park is in the southeast corner of the square, the most prominent location that could have been picked, according to President Bob White, with five or six walks leading to it. The point was selected purposely because there the crowd would be largest. M. Eugene Durfee, the architect, is donating his services in the preparation of the plans.

INQUIRY Year-Old Girl Tells How Murders Were Committed BEMIDJI, Mian., Nov. 16. VET. INQUIRY COMMITTEE RAPPED (By William K. Hutchinson) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—A new element was injected into the sensatorial investigation of the U.S. Veterans' Bureau today when the committee itself was subjected to severe criticism for "inquiring into waste frauds, graft and scandal while failing to improve conditions among the disabled." James A. McFarland, head of the Disabled American Veterans, denounced the investigation from the witness stand. He said disabled men were bitterly disappointed at the methods employed by the committee's counsel (Major General John F. O'Ryan) to develop scandal. He demanded to know "what is being done by the committee" for disabled veterans. He said: "Nothing of a constructive nature has come out of the public hearings" and he described the testimony as reading like the account of a dog fight. McFarland's statement aroused keen resentment among members of the committee. They took turns reprimanding him. R. Forbes, accused of graft and incompetency in his administration of the United States Veterans' Bureau struck a sensational blow in his own defense. His counsel at the senate investigation produced a letter alleged to have been written by Ellas H. Mortimer, his chief accuser, to Mrs. Mortimer, in which the star government witness branded as "lies" the testimony of James M. Williams, the government's other star witness against Forbes. It was Williams who testified to talking with Forbes about "cleaning up" on the sale of drugs and whiskey from the government storehouse at Perrysville. FOR WINTER Menagerie Will Be Open Next Four Months in Training Season Anaheim's circus comes home tomorrow! Canvas men won't have to trust themselves after tomorrow evening's performance to get onto the cars and start for the next lot because there won't be any next lot until March 17. For Golden Bros. Four-Ring Trained Wild Animal Circus will make Anaheim its home this winter and it is hoped by the C. of C., in all the winters to come. Secretary Reid of the C. of C. announced today that he had made arrangements yesterday in Los Angeles with S. P. officials for construction of a 600-foot spur to the Randolph packing house where the circus train will be spotted this winter. Between 50 and 60 circus employees will be employed throughout the winter and many more of the 266 attenders will make their homes here. The menagerie will be open throughout the winter at a terminal fee. This will be widely advertised throughout the southland. It is expected to be very popular as circus men agree that training quarters are always the most interesting side of circus life. If quarters are made permanent here training will be done here this year round. A feature will be the importation of tropical birds for breeding. Some of these will be retailed. "Anaheim merchants and propertyowners have been anxious that the C. of C. get some payrolls," said Pres. Harry D. Riley of the C. of C. today. "This is the first one, and a very substantial one. We should make the circus people feel that they are welcome. There have been some reports promulgated that we are bringing in a lot of riff-raff. From investigations that we have made where this and other circuses have wintered such is not the case. At Mr. Dodge, I.e., where this circus spent last winter, Mr. Golden was presented with a large bouquet by a minister when the winter season was over. The undesirable clips of circus followers join the show after the season opens. "The people who will come here are high-salaried handlers of wild animals, acrobats, clowns, executives and other 'real folks' of the circus profession." Portano then dragged the girl his cabin some miles distant. Here he intimidated her into retiring until he went back and armed away the other obstacles his path. On the way back he met John Anders, the girl's father, whom took back to the Portano cab and bound to a bed post. He sought to force Sanders' sent to his taking Myrtle.

Taking the girl with him he got out to find out what was being done to arrest him. Susisting Timmy would be returned from Kelliher with help, he in ambush by the roadside, leading the girl with one hand with drawn pistol in the oth-hand. Timmy had been delayed in eller getting his wound issued, but Wilson, the deputy Griff, came hurriedly down the road toward the Sanders farm. With one shot Portano killed from his ambush. Remaining the same spot, still holding girl, a half-hour later he led Timmy in the same way Timmy was walking rapidly toward the Sanders farm. One day, as in the other three murders, was sufficient. The murderer then took Myrtle back to the cabin and attacker. Later he sat down and told out a complete confession of his reasons for his acts, and shared he would not be taken. He left the written confession in Myrtle in the cabin and he off into the almost uncharted maze of lakes, streams and roads of the border country, tak-with him his own and the duty sheriff's gun and all the munition he could find on the utility's body and at the Sanders one.
