The local board went on record as unanimously in favor of the proposed county bond issue of $1,600,000 to improve Orange co harbor and for an immediate call for the election. The board was moved to act by the conviction, pressed home by White that the harbor would be of great benefit in Anaheim's industrial program. Discussing business conditions, White said that the railways were arranging to carry a record number of tourists to California this summer and the outlook for greater prosperity was excellent. The reality business was in cycles, and White declared that the house and lot cycle new was giving place to the industrial cycle, in which the means of employment of the increased population was coming to the front.

Wade, piloting plane No 3, to land near Redding, Calif., yesterday afternoon while the filers were enroute from Sacramento here was overcome when he landed here last night an hour and a half after Major Martin and Lieut. Smith reached the flying field here. Lieut. Smith had a little trouble with his oil pump just as the planes arrived here. The hop today was to Seattle, with a stop for lunch at Vancouver Barracks, Wash. At Seattle final preparations for the long journey will be completed.

The cause of the disaster has not been ascertained. A naval investigation board has proceeded to the scene. A great naval billip left Kasun-gura this morning and after efforts were being made today to rescue 40 sailors who are imprisoned in a submarine which sank near Sasebo after colliding with a rock in the harbor. The men in the sunken diver have communicated with the rescue workers by tapping on lines run to the submarine and hopes are held of rescuing some, if not all, alive. Staff officers were immediately dispatched by the naval ministry to Sasebo to investigate the cause of the submarine's sinking. LONDON, March 19.—A giant Japanese submarine with 44 men on board was sunk in collision with a battleship. Rescue operations were under way when the dispatch was sent. Naval authorities said they were certain all the submarine seamen would be saved. SHOULD TAKE IN TRACT Factories Will Need Fire Protection, Water and Sewage Facilities The question of whether the 39-acre tract of the Community Industrial Land Co. Just north of the city should or shouldn't be within the city limits was stirred up today with the charge by Jas. E. Stewart, prominent realtor, that the site unless voted in would be under a serious handicap for factory purposes. According to John Ruether of the Anaheim Beef Co., who knows from practical experience, the advantages are all with location outside, except in the matter of sewage. The real question, Ruether said, was whether Anaheim was going to aid in the development of the site by permitting sewer connections or was going to hinder it. Secretary George W. Reid of the C. of C. said today that the matter had hardly been mentioned by the directors of the company, but undoubtedly would be when the designs to develop the tract were drawn up. Stewart said that Anaheim could not furnish fire protection, and water and sewage facilities to factories outside the city which paid no taxes. City taxes amount to $1.50 per $100, while county taxes are $1.45 and school $1.65, making a total of $4.60. In Reid's opinion, factories could not with their own facilities obtain equal service at anything like $1.50 per $100. Secretary Reid agreed that the job of taking the vote would be a small matter now, but might be cumbersome later. The Mexican colony could be included perhaps in the district voting, said Reid, who was inclined to think the colony should be within the city limits. City Manager O. E. Steward didn't see any benefit in the tract being within the city territorially. Both owners and employees would prefer to be outside the city and escape city taxes, he believed. The factories would doubtless have their own water supply, also. John Ruether of the Anaheim Beef Co., declared that to include the tract in the city would be to kill its prospects for industrial purposes. Sewers were the only By COPELAND CO. (I. N. S.

A great naval blimp left Kasumigaura this morning and after floating over this city and being admired by thousands, proceeded southward. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the great airship was observed to burst into flames as it was nearing its base and a few minutes later it crashed at Kasumigaura. Naval officials and the public was aghast at the second naval tragedy in six hours, the burning of the SS-3 having followed on the heels of the sinking of the submarine 43 at Sasebo. SEEK SLAYER OF BANKER'S WIDOW KANSAS CITY, March 19.—Into a mysterious circle of friends, police delved today to find a clew to the murderer of Dr. Zoe Wilkins, pretty widow of the late millionaire banker, Thomas Cunningham, of Joplin, Mo., who was found gashed to death in her home here. A rusty pocket knife from which she had been stabbed in the forehead and neck was found beside the body. SEEKS DIVORCE Elmer Hawkins, oil worker of Santa Ana, came home so drunk he slept on the bathroom floor and he couldn't find his watch the next day because it had slid under the tub, Mrs. Gladys Hawkins alleged in her divorce complaint filed in superior court at Santa Ana today. In addition, her husband said he could "buy" witnesses to show that she was not fit to have custody of a small daughter, it was alleged. The couple have been married three years. City Manager O. E. Steward didn't see any benefit in the tract being within the city territorially. Both owners and employees would prefer to be outside the city and escape city taxes, he believed. The factories would doubtless have their own water supply also. John Ruether of the Anaheim Beef Co. declared that to include the tract in the city would be to kill its prospects for industrial purposes. Sewers were the only facility which factories would desire—and only factories using quantities of water would want them—the city could give Factories using up to 10,000 gallons of water per day would not require sewers. At the same time, sewers would be a considerable inducement to any factory to locate in the tract, said Ruether. The wonderful growth of Vernon as a manufacturing and industrial city is due to the fact, according to Ruether, that it is outside of Los Angeles, although surrounded by the metropolis, but is tied onto the Los Angeles sewer system. Ruether took up one question after another. Power costs were nearly double inside the city as outside. The Anaheim Sugar Co., for example, had saved probably $10,000 annually on power by being outside of the cities. The sugar company used to use more water in 24 hours than the whole county would use in 48. Ruether averred. The Anaheim Beef Co. has its own water plant, pumps and main. It uses a septic tank instead of sewage and has 26 acres on which to empty its water. Yet sewers would be a convenience. Ruether quoted City Manager Steward as declaring that Steward would be willing to provide sewage connections. If Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton consented. The four cities have an arrangement whereby such mutual consent must be obtained to providing connections with factories adjoin ing any of the four. The principal advantage in being outside an incorporated city, said Ruether, was that the factory could not be declared a nuisance without warrant or put under unnecessary legal restriction.

Staff Correspondent) (Copyright 1924 by International News ServiceSAN FRANCISCO, March 19. Improvement of personnel, heightening of morale, and maintenance of equipment to the full strength of the four power treaty are the policies which will guide him in his administration. Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur told International News Service here today in an exclusive interview. "An absolutely first class navy will be my goal," he declared in discussing for the first time his beliefs and ideas as to the United States Navy since his elevation from the position of chief justice of the California supreme court to the cabinet post. "In the first place, I am particularly interested in the personnel of the navy—fro mseaman to admiral," said the new navy chief. "If the personnel can be improved that will be my principal task." "Secondly, I believe the morale of the navy—from seaman to admiral. This is essential to the service." "Thirdly, to have a first class navy, we must have the very highest type of equipment. I shall strive to see that the strength of the navy is maintained to the full strength as required upon in the four power pact, and, too, it must be efficiently maintained. "These are my ideas for the navy—the things I shall work for—the highest type of men, the highest morale, the finest equipment." Secretary Wilbur, who will leave for Washington late today with his family, said he was fully prepared for plenty of hard work in connection with his new job. "I am used to hard work," he declared. "I have always kept myself physically fit. Since my days at the navy academy I have been a follower of gymnastics. I know I will like being secretary of the navy. I have always loved the sea and its ships." McADOO'S LEAD GROWING IN GA. ATLANTA, Ga., March 19. Scattered and unofficial reports reaching Atlanta late this afternoon indicated William G.

From two or three counties however, it has been pro- AS "SHADY DEAL" Tiffin Gilmore, Deputy Secretary of State of Ohio, on Stand WASHINGTON, March 19. Senatorial investigators went into both Republican and Democratic closets today and rattled some political skeletons. Tiffin Gilmore of Columbus told the committee certain oil interests which he was unable to name, approached General Leonard Wood during the Chicago convention and offered to support him if he would agree to appoint "an oil man" secretary of the interior, an offer which Wood termed "shady" and turned down. Gilmore left the witness stand with the veiled inference that an offer of similar nature was made to the Harding managers and described a conversation he had with Carmi Thompson, one of the Harding lieutenants, on a train returning from Chicago. A subpoena was immediately issued for Thompson. From Col. "Tom" Darden, a friend of Harding, and of Attorney General Daugherty, the committee learned interesting details of his claims to Teapot Dome and in the Sale Creek fields. Darden said he and his associates entered the Teapot Dome and Salt Creek leases in the closing days of the Wilson administration, being aided in this respect by "President Wilson's brother." Darden related intimate conversations he had with President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty concerning his leases, the validity of which was questioned by Albert B. Fall, as secretary of the interior. Subsequently Fall sent the marines to Teapot Dome to eject Darden's employees as "squatters." The committee decided today to probe deeper into Fall's financial transactions and subpoena was issued for M. D. Thatcher, president of the First National Bank of Pueblo, Colo., to bring all the records of Fall's financing thru that bank. WASHINGTON, March 19. Major General Leonard Wood was approached at the convention by representatives of "big oil interests" who offered to support him at that critical stage of the pro- GROWING IN GA. ATLANTA, Ga., March 19.—Scattered and unofficial reports reaching Atlanta late this afternoon indicated William G. McAdow's lead over Senator Oscar W.

From two or three counties, however, it has been reported that Underwood is in the lead. McAdow and Underwood are the only contestants. Elaborate Plans for Local Fashion Show ELABORATE plans are being formulated for the finest advance showing of spring and summer fashions ever seen in Anaheim, when on March 25 and 26 a Fashion Show will be staged in the California theatre with a showing of every combination of style and color. Two showings each day will be staged with Miss Elise Schuyler, noted model and vaudeville performer in charge. Miss Schuyler successfully supervised a series of shows in the largest eastern cities, among them one for the big Marshal Field store in Chicago, at the Powers theatre, which ran two weeks. She staged a similar success in San Francisco in the Tivoli theatre. During the matinee and evening hours an unusually fine picture, "Pleasure Mad," will be shown, a Reginald Barker production adapted from Blanch Upright's novel, "The Valley of Content." Especially fine music will also feature the entertainments. Not alone will the theatre draw attraction for the merchants will all decorate the windows with their prettiest stocks from the most gorgeous and complete dress creation and accessories to the simplest, humble morning frock. As California, is typically partial to sports clothes, a liberal showing of the countless varieties of these togs will be included. Indeed, Anaheim will be dressed up with no place to go but the Fashion Show, March 25 and 26, which is attracting country wide attention. Among the merchants ready to make an elaborate showing from their stocks are the S. Q. H. Store, J. E. Penny Co., McDonald's, Mary Millerick Shop, Hunt & Tellam and Freda's Hat Shop. Miss Schuyler will be accompanied by models whom she has personally selected, each for an individual style and charm, who will wear these garments effectively and gracefully display them from every angle. The stage will be thoroughly remodeled and refurbished. Stroup-Barnes providing the elegant furniture and draperies. As setting plays we small part in a fashion revue, the importance of this factor is easily recognizable. The Plain Dealer Fashion edition will be on the streets Monday, March 24, and will be a forerunner of the big event. WASHINGTON, March 19.—Major General Leonard Wood was approached at the convention by representatives of "big oil interests" who offered to support him at that critical stage of the proceedings if he would name an oil man secretary of the interior, Tiffin Gilmore, deputy secretary of state of Ohio, testified today before the senate oil lands committee. Gilmore said Wood had turned the offer down after pacing up and down the room for some time, finally saying "This is a shady deal and I won't have anything to do with it." Gilmore said he was accompanied to the convention by George Sunday, son of Billy Sunday, the evangelist. "Did you see Carmi Thompson?" "Yes, coming home on the sleeper from Chicago." "Carmi Thompson of Cleveland has charge of the arrangement for this year's Republican convention in Cleveland." "What did Thompson say to you on the train?" "He grasped my hand and said, 'Tiffin, we need you worse than ever now.'" "I said, 'I know you do. What do you want that land for? Was it mineral bearing, was it o bearing?'" "He said it was so poor that Indians couldn't even live on but added that two wells have been drilled on it." "Why did you ask him that asked Walsh." "Well, since Friday before the convention closed the atmosphere had been charged with stories deals concerning General Wood." "What deals?""
