CAMPAIGN Mass Meeting for German Relief at High School Largely Attended An appeal was made last night at the mass meeting at the high school auditorium in behalf of the German relief drive for 50 additional workers for the remainder of this week. Anaheims quota is $8,000, and little trouble is anticipated in "going over the top" if sufficient workers can be obtained. A large number of volunteer workers went forward at the call, and a great many more gave names and addresses to those at the door who were seeking workers. A large crowd was present. The program opened with a short talk by Rev. A. G. H. Bode who was chosen chairman. He characterized the drive as "the finest thing ever done in Anaheim." The audience sang "America," and there were vocal selections by Madame Beatrice Sarino, accompanied by Rev. Bode. The selections included: "An My Dear Mother Taught Her Children Singing" and "In Patience." G. J. Junge, of Los Angeles, delivered an apology for the absent speakers, saying that McAdoo was unable to attend because of a previous engagement which he could list break, and that Rev. J. A. Francis of the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles, was ill. Both McAdoo and Francis sent regrets. Francis said his church had contributed $3,321 to the work. A brief address was delivered by Richard Sterling, dramatic critic of Los Angeles, who told of the dreadful condition of the starving children of Germany, describing the various stages thru which a starving child passes before it is claimed by death, and said that we are burning to help relieve them. He appealed to the love of God in the hearts of his audience to help and closed with the energetic assertion: "We're going to start in right now, and dig!" This was followed by a piano solo by Miss Annemarie Siegel and two solos by Madame Sapiro, accompanied by Rev. Bode at the organ. In the singing of the last solo, which was "Springtime," Fred Siegel played the flute. Dr. J. A. Geissinger of the White Temple was then called upon to make an impromptu address, and he responded saying that he did not expect to be on the program, but that he simply came over to the room.

Her brother-in-law went to the door and saw Laird, it was said. lying prone outside, with a pistol levied at the door. Questionable by the brother-in-law, he was said to have declared that he had swallowed carbolic acid and that he had taken his own life. SCANDAL Senate Again Plunged in Turmoil of Bitter Debate on Scandal WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—The senate late this afternoon, after hours of senational debate, decided that ex-secretary of the interior Albert B. Fall and Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby acted without authority and in violation of the law when they leased Teapot Dome and the Elk Hills naval reserves to H. P. Sinclair and E. L. Doheny. This expression of the senate's opinion was obtained in the defeat of amendment to the Walsh resolution offered by Senator Lenroot which would have stricken from that resolution the words "Fall and Denby with acting illegally." Instead of having hte resolution state flatly that illegality existed, Lenroot would have stated that the leases were executed "under circumstances which gave rise to serious question as to their legality." Administration leaders confessed the senate was not competent to judge the legality of cabinet officers' action and insisted that it should be determined by the courts. Insurgent Republicans joined with the Democrats in defeating Lenroot's amendments by a vote of 46 to 38. This was the first test vote in the naval reserve lease scandal and presaged that the Walsh resolution itself would pass by a considerable majority later in the day. Within an hour after it met today, the senate was again plunged into a turmoil of bitter debate over the oil leasing scandals—started when Senator Norris charged that the leasing of Teapot Dome and Elk Hills reserves to the Sinclair and Doheny interests were "made in utter disregard for law." "The executive order (issued by President Harding) transferring the reserves from the navy to the interior departments was absolutely and completely without authority and in open defiance of the law," declared Norris while a packed chamber and thronged gallery hung on every word. While Norris held the floor with a vitriolic attack on the legality of the acts of the Harding administration, other developments came fast. BURGLARS ENTER 2 LOCAL OFFICES The office of the Jewel Realty Co. on the second floor of the Golden State National Bank Building was entered last night and also the reception room of Dr. J.W.
