FAIL TO HOLD UP GAS EXECUTIONS RENO, Nev., Feb. 6.—Two eleventh hour moves to save the life of Gee Jon, Chinese tengman, scheduled with Thomas Russell Mexican, to die Friday in the first lethal gas executions in the United States, ended in failure today. The supreme court denied an application for a writ of habeas corpus filed by Attorneys Frame and Ruffette, who sought to stave off the execution because of an apparent conflict between the old and new laws with regard to the setting of the execution date. The court upheld the state's contention that the old law requiring a definite state be set for execution had been repealed by the lethal gas act of 1921. Coincidentally, Doctors J. E. Pickard of Reno, and A. Huffaker, prison physician, pronounced Gee Jon mentally sound. Their examination of the condemned man was the culmination of charges made by Attorney J. W. Frame that prison confinement had rendered his client insane. Frame charged that state authorities had refused him admission to the prison for the purpose of consulting his silent, and that finally when such permission was granted he found Gee Jon mentally unbalanced. Everything was in readiness today for the execution, which will take place between 9 and 10 Friday morning. The gas for use in the execution arrived from Los Angeles on a truck. Experts from the gas manufacturing concern arrived today to take charge of the installation of the gas tubes in the cell. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad.

Phone 46 FULLERTON MAY EXTEND PAVING Paving plans on the southeast side of Fullerton whereby the much-mooted storm water problem might be solved, were discussed at length last night by the Fullerton trustees, following presentation of a petition to improve S. Orange ave., Ash st. and Lawrence ave. It is planned by the petitioners to have these streets paved 48 feet between the curbs, S. W. Miller told the board that it is planned to get a larger number of property holders on the petition. The council is very favorably inclined towards the proposition, and will probably add it to the east side paying district. The city attorney was given power to act towards filing an injunction against the Union Oil Co., Amalgamated Oil Co., et al, to stop the overflow of waste water into the eastern part of the town, unless they agree immediately to do something to restrain it. The board agreed that the oil companies had "passed the buck" long enough. Large portions of Lawrence avenue are subject to flooding from this waste flow, and even the sidewalks covered in some places. The city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance prohibiting motor vehicles from parking on any paved street in the city between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., in order that the street sweeper might have an opportunity to clean the streets, and prohibiting all parking on newly-paved streets for 90 days after the pavement is laid. It is said that gasoline leaks from cars have virtually ruined portions of the newly-paved districts. A communication was received from the U. P. Ry. Co., protesting against the installation of a wig-wag signal at the Harvard avenue crossing. The communication said that a survey had been made, and that only 15 vehicles crossed there during the peak hour of the day, and that there is a train only three times every 48 hours. Mayor Urges Effort to Locate Industries Here Mayor Stark in a statement issued today warned against delay in securing factories. He declares there is no real reason why Anaheim should stand by and watch other cities no better situated reap the benefits from the present manufacturing growth of So. Cal. His letter follows: To the Citizens of Anaheim: In the big drive to bring industries into So. Cal., the Los Angeles C. of C. has succeeded thru proving two things to manufacturers all over the United States. These two things are that we really want them and that there are definite positive reasons why they should do their manufacturing here. There is a great deal of difference, both in your mental attitude and your actions if you really want a thing or are merely willing to accept it if it should come your way on a golden platter. I guess we all know that payrolls mean prosperity to the city having them, and a constantly increasing value of city property and the adjoining reage. This knowledge is so universal that it has placed the inhabitants of every community in the world in competition with each other for the securing of manufacturing enterprises. Every city in the United States has a C. of C. or some other public body which is trying to foster and increase industry and payrolls in its particular community. Bankers, merchants, farmers and representatives of all other callings and professions make up these public bodies and their one aim is a bigger, better, busier city. This was the kind of competition Los Angeles had to face and what we are now facing, even with our next door neighbors, who are getting payrolls while we are here where we were consuming and using things made in the east, but in the great outside world, meaning new money pouring into the city and less going out. The manufacturers both here and elsewhere in the United States had to be shown that So. Calif.-made goods can compete successfully with eastern-made products. That this is true due to minimum labor discontentment, low fuel and power costs, and less fixed capital requirement in factory buildings. Also, to low water freight rates for Atlantic ports thru the Panama canal. Of course, other cities had talking points and live C. of C. and bankers and their citizens with their money and moral co-operation all working toward keeping the industries they already had, and bringing in new ones. It was a long fight for Los Angeles to get anywhere. The collage of the Los Angeles Investment Co. and the frost of 1913 caused a bad financial depression in 1914-15, and with it the So. Cal. public couldn't seem to get a toolhold on money enough to live on, they raised several millions to finance the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Promiscuous financing of fake schemes should not be done in any community, but financial support for worthy business is what has put Los Angeles on the business map, and is also doing the same for numerous other So. Calif. cities. An instance of this near at hand is Fullerton, which is reported to have either already raised or pledged $166,000 for investment in the business which had recently agreed to locate there. As the head of your city government, I want to see its citizens... prohibiting all parking on newly-paved streets for 90 days after the pavement is laid. It is said that gasoline leaks from cars have virtually ruined portions of the newly-paved districts. A communication was received from the U. P. Ry. Co., protesting against the installation of a wig-wag signal at the Harvard avenue crossing. The communication said that a survey had been made, and that only 15 vehicles erased there during the peak hour of the day, and that there is a train only three times every 4 hours. The wigwags cost $1,000 each, it was said, and the company does not feel justified to assume the expense. J. W. McCormick of W. Whitling avenue protested against the installation of ornamental lights on his block. The protest was over-ruled. An ordinance was passed designating the depth of pipe lines where there is an established curb not less than 3 1/2 feet below the curb line, and where there is no established curb not less than four feet below the level of the street. A resolution was passed granting the Anaheim Union Water Co. lay a pipe line on Chapman Avenue from Cypress to Raymond avenues. The report of Wm. French, city recorder, showed collection of fines for January to have been 2103, of which $1518 was for violation of the motor vehicle law and the remainder miscellaneous. W. F. Coultier, R. A. Marisden and Wm. Record were appointed to sell a house belonging to the city.

JOINT-EASE For Stiff, Swollen Joints RHEUMATIC OR OTHERWISE Says "When Joint-Ease Gets In—Joint Agony Gets Out" It was a high-class pharmacist who saw prescription after prescription fail to help hundreds of his customers to get rid of rheumatic swellings and stiff inflamed joints. And it was this same man who asserted that a remedy could and would be compounded that would make creaky, swollen, tormented joints work with just as much smoothness as they ever did. Now this prescription, rightly named Joint-Ease, after being tested successfully on many obstinate cases, is offered through progressive pharmacists to the millions of people who suffer from alling joints that need limbering up. Swollen, twingy, inflamed, stiff, pain-tormented joints are usually caused by rheumatism, but whatever the cause Joint-Ease soaks right in, through skin and flesh and gets right to and corrects the trouble at its source. Remember Joint-Ease is for alliments of the joints, whether in ankle, knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, spine or finger, and when you rub it on, you may expect speedy and gratifying results. It is now on sale at Heying's Pharmacy and druggists everywhere for 60 cents a tube. Wednesday, February 6, 1924 RECORDER REPORT Report of G. B. Brown, city recorder, for January, his last official month, shows the total number of cases 29 and the total collection in fines $253. Three cases were for drunkenness, bringing in fines amounting to $85; nine cases for parking in front of the剧院, $33; and 17 cases of motor vehicle violations, $135. then see if we can meet the competition. Other cities are doing it now, and most of them have no better or more prosperous citizens or other advantages than Anaheim. My idea is a citizens' committee made up of representatives of the banks, ranchers, merchants, wage earners, churches, professions and clubs. Such a committee could co-operate with the C. of C. and can't help but produce desirable results. Suggestions and assistance toward the desired result will be appreciated. Your truly, WM. STARK.
