CITY PLUNGE IS PURIFIED BY CHLORINE The water in Anaheim's new city plunge which opens today is disinfected with chlorine, put into the supply pipes after filtering has taken place, City Manager O. E. Steward declared today. This disinfecting of water is the usual thing in plunges of this type, Steward asserted. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, city health officer, said today that the rule of using only pasteurized Anaheim milk would go into effect in the schools Monday. There are still no cases of typhoid in Anaheim, so far as the physician knows. Pasteurization of all milk produced in the vicinity of Santa Ana and Orange was ordered today by Dr. Charles H. Halliday, state epidemiologist. In fact, Dr. Halliday announced that he would make the same rule wherever in the county fever was traceable to milk as the cause. Personal examination of every employee employed by dairies is another means to be taken to LOS ANGELES, March 22. AT OPENING OF POOL Brave Goose Flesh For Regular Saturday Night Bath Two hundred boys, girls, men and women were present at the official opening of the city plunge at 2:30 this afternoon. Two young Americans, who just could not wait until the formal hour, arrived at 8 a.m. and Manager E. P. Guysl, sympathizing with their uncontrollable desire for a dip, opened the plunge at that early hour. An elaborate program of swimming races and contests featured the afternoon. One of the first bathers to show his diverging form at the brink of the big basin, natty attired in a dashing brown and white striped bathing suit, was chairman Howard P. Gates, of the council park committee. He had a smile and more or less goose flesh that didn't come off until after some vigorous spashing about. There is one larger plunge in the Southland, but none finer, and Anaheimers who hadn't viewed the $50,000 building and its facilities before were as much delighted as outsiders. Members of city council, City Manager O. E. Steward and other officials were on hand to give the feature of the new city park an auspicious beginning. The sports program comprised in full six 50-yard forward stroke races and six 50-yard backward stroke races for grammar school and high school boys and girls and men and women; two 100-yard backward stroke and two 100-yard forward stroke races for boys and girls; a 100-yard free-for-all a 250-yard relay for boys and another for girls, and diving contests for boys and girls of grammar and high schools and men and women. The Huntington Beach Swimming club, which had eight or nine members present, under instructor Jack Kilburn, opened the program. Kilburn and Bud Higgins gave an exhibit of fancy diverts.

Pasteurization of all milk produced in the vicinity of Santa Ana and Orange was ordered today by Dr. Charles H. Halliday, state epidemiologist. In fact, Dr. Halliday announced that he would make the same rule wherever in the county fever was traceable to milk as the cause. Personal examination of every employee employed by dairies is another moans to be taken to check the typhoid epidemic which has been spreading in and from Santa Ana. Dr. Halliday told City Manager O. E. Steward today that he would be ready to follow up any cases under suspicion of having typhoid and said that the state's and county's laboratory facilities were open to any community requiring their aid. Physical examination of all persons handling foodstuffs in Orange also was recommended by Halliday to the Orange City Council. A similar recommendation was made to the Santa Ana City Council Monday evening. Contact cases in Santa Ana are altogether too numerous, according to the expert. Yesterday Orange launched a campaign to clean up the city and make it sanitary, G. W. Whitsell, chairman of the sanitary committee, and City Marshal M. E. Jemison being in charge. All possible breeding places of germs are being cleansed, including chicken yards, cow yards, littered alleys and barns. Whitewash will be used plentifully on chicken coops and yards. Ground will be spaded up, also where it has lain exposed for a considerable time. BERNARD HONORED NEW YORK, March 22.—Stars of the theatrical world will pay tribute to Barney Bernard, 45, originator of the role of Abe Potash in the Potash and Perlmutter comedies, who died of pneumonia after a short illness.

The Huntington Beach Swimming club, which had eight or nine members present, under instructor Jack Kilburn, opened the program. Kilburn and Bud Higgins gave an exhibit of fancy diving from high and low springboards. The opening contest was a six-lap relay race between teams of the Huntington Beach club. Result was a tie between teams composed respectively of Jack Kilburn, Aldean Highee, Chick Higgins, on one side, and Billie Jenks, Bud Higgins and Gene Belso, on the other. Many of the events had to be omitted owing to the lack of candidates. Four-year-old Lucile Ogden gave an exhibition of swimming and life saving and Instructor Jack Kilburn one of swimming and living. Thru elaborate filtering and chemically purifying facilities the water may be used for a year without change, as it circulated from the plunge thru the cleansing process and back again, but it is the plan of the management to put in fresh water every three months. The amount of chemical used is determined by the number of persons entering the water each day, and samples of the water must be submitted to the state inspector at stated intervals. The towels, besides being washed with soap and water, must hang in the sun 24 hours before being used again. A sun parlor for the convenience of the girls and ladies in drying their hair is a feature. A lattice wall 12 feet high will be erected on three sides of the pool as protection from wind and dust. It is figured there is a loss of about 15,000 gallons or three inches of depth each day through splashing and evaporation. The sand through which the water is filtered has been shipped from Lake Michigan. Fink went with me Hollanden where he reserved for me used.

Daugherty with a "deal" at the Chicago convention to secure the nomination of Warren G. Harding by promising Jake Hamon, Oklahoma oil man and politican, a cabinet post, and directly connecting the attorney general with some of the liquor "deals" engineered by the late Jesse W. Smith, was adduced by the senate investigating committee from Roxie Stinson, Smith's divorced wife. Throughout Mrs. Stinson's testimony and questions asked her by Senator Wheeler there was a vague and startling inference that Jesse Smith met with foul play. Smith killed himself a year ago in the attorney general's apartment in the Wardman Park Hotel here. His body was discovered on the bathroom floor by Warren F. Martin, one of Daugherty's assistants, the attorney general himself being absent at the time. "The last night I spent with Jesse Smith at Columbus, he spent the whole night warning me not to go or the streets at night," said Mrs. Stinson. He told me what bank records to destroy, what papers to destroy and what subjects were never to be destroyed. He was in fear of his life. He never walked the streets alone at night and usually walked in the middle of the street." She flatly charged Attorney General Daugherty with "enmeshing Jesse Smith." "I must break Jesse's confidence of what has happened," Mrs. Stinson said. "Jesse was enmeshed thru his great loyalty and devotion to an unscrupulous man who has used the power of the law and his secret service to intimidate people." At this point Mrs. Stinson's voice broke and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Who do you mean?" "Attorney General Daugherty." Then she explained the statement of the attorney general that she and a man named Al Fink had been registered in a hotel as man and wife. She said Fink had summoned her to Cleveland "on a business matter" and met her at the train. Fink went with me to the hotel Hollenden where he said he had reservations for me." she continued. "We had dinner in my room and talked about a stock deal he was interested in. In our talk Fink said something that led me to ask how he had registered me. "I told Ungerleider to go back to Daugherty and tell him that I had not spoken a word about Washington affairs in all the months since Jesse's death, but if I was subpoenaed to Washington I would tell all I know. I told him I would not be strong-armed and that I would fight this frame-up and there wouldn't be a bullet in my head to close my mouth." She said Ungerleider told her that Ellis had signed an affidavit saying she and Fink had asked for $150,000 or some such fabulous sum for my silence about Harry Daugherty." "He said that Ellis swore he was to get 20% of this money (Continued on page three) KEEN STORE PAIR TRIED APRIL 9 After failing to attack successfully the information in which they are accused of obtaining money under false pretenses, Glenn B. Churchill and O. C. Hardebeck, trustee of a chain of hat stores, one of which was located at Anaheim, today were preparing to face trial in Superior Judge R. Y. Williams court, April 9. The two men pleaded not guilty when arraigned in superior court at Santa Ana late yesterday, of having sold approximately $250,000 worth of stock, in Anaheim and vicinity, under fraudulent methods. This money, the state, claims, has not been satisfactorily accounted for. Morgan Marmaduke of Los Angeles, their attorney, demurred to an amended information late yesterday and vigorously attacked the state's document on the ground that "casual connection" between the alleged misrepresentations and the payment of funds by stockholders had not been brought out in the information sufficiently to constitute an offence and the matter would be dropped." "I told Ungerleider to go back to Daugherty and tell him that I had not spoken a word about Washington affairs in all the months since Jesse's death, but if I was subpoenaed to Washington I would tell all I know. I told him I would not be strong-armed and that I would fight this frame-up and there wouldn't be a bullet in my head to close my mouth." She said Ungerleider told her that Ellis had signed an affidavit saying she and Fink had asked for $150,000 or some such fabulous sum for my silence about Harry Daugherty."

Sinclair, millionaire oil magnate who leased Teapot Dome from Albert B Fall, contributed "about $15,000 to the Republican party's campaign fund," it was admitted today by Will H. Hays, director of the Republican campaign in 1920, testifying today before the senate oil investigating committee. Hays denied, however, that the $1,600,600 deficit in the party treasury at the close of 1928 was liquidated by a donation of 75,000 shares of Sinclair oil stock. "The story is not true," said Hays emphatically. Senator Walsh read Hays a story appearing in the New York Times stating Sinclair had donated the stock. "It's absolutely untrue" reiterated Hays. "There is nothing to these reports that the committee received 75,000 shares of stock from Sinclair. I cannot understand how such a story could have been written without a basis of fact." Walsh questioned Hays about Joe O'Neill, an employee in Hays' office. "Would it surprise you to learn that Mr. O'Neill told Mr. Vivian of the New York Times about the story?" asked Walsh. "He might have told him but, Senator Walsh, that story is not based on facts—there is no basis for reports of this stock donation," said Hays. "That story and rumor is as false in content as it is libelous in purpose." Well, what did Sinclair have to do with making up the deficit?" asked Walsh. Hays explained he had been out of the chairmanship for three years, "and I am, therefore, not the source of information." Hays that the question of campaign contributions was "not relevant to the inquiry." Senator Stanfield, Republican of Oregon, agreed with him, proclaiming ment of the attorney general that she and a man named Al Fink had been registered in a hotel as man and wife. She said Fink had summoned her to Cleveland "on a business matter" and met her at the train. "Fink went with me to the hotel Hollenden where he said he had reservations for me," she continued. "We had dinner in my room and talked about a stock deal he was interested in. In our talk Fink said something that led me to ask how he had registered me. He said he had registered me under a fictitious name. He said he did it so our conference could be secret. I am satisfied that he had no other motive but when I learned what he did I immediately left the hotel." "What time was that?" "About 11 o'clock that night and I went to another hotel." She then said that Fink came to see her at the Statler Hotel the next day with a man named Ellis. On the following day she said Fink came again and told her that they were going to be arrested; "for registering under a fictitious name." Fink said they had arrested him and Ellis for constipating against Attorney General Daugherty and that he would go behind the bar unless I would promise not to tell anything about Daugherty," said Mrs. Stinson. "I just laughed at him but Fink was excited and said that I could be arrested too. I thot it was funny. He said they had given him a third degree and had even put the manacles on his wrists." Fink, she added, then called in Samuel Ungerleider, Cleveland broker. "Ungerleider said there was some sort of conspiracy against Harry Daugherty and that Ellis and Fink were under arrest and that a warrant was out for me," the witness continued. "Ungerleider said the bonds for Fink and Ellis would be $50,000 and that my bond would be $100,000. I told Ungerleider that they should serve the warrant and I would go behind the bars even if they fixed the bond at only five cents. I told him I knew it was a frame-up and that they could go ahead. Mrs. Stinson said Ungerleider insisted that she "give her promise not to talk about Harry Daugherty."" MAKE PLANS FOR "Y" SUMMER CAMP Preparatory to the annual summer outing, Orange-co Boy Scout executive council at a meeting at the local Y. M. C. A., appointed a committee of four to arrange for the water rights, pool site and construction of building of the permanent camp between Redlands and Big Bear in the lower San Bernardino mountains. A five-acre tract has been obtained and upon it the first unit, to cost $2590 will be built. This unit will include kitchen, diningroom, lodge room, and the other usual camp buildings. At the same time a finance committee was appointed consisting of the local secretary Warren L. Ashleigh and secretaries and chairman of the boys' work committees in each community, who will conduct a drive for funds to complete the camp this summer. Each community will be allowed to select the dates of its own contest. The camp will be one of the most elaborate in Southern California and will be designed for all the Boy Scouts in Orange co. PLAIN DEALER CLASSIFIED ADS PROCEE RESULTS "That story and rumor is as false in content as it is libelous in purpose." "Well, what did Sinclair have to do with making up the deficit?" asked Walsh. "Hays explained he had been out of the chairmanship for three years," "and I am, therefore, not the source of information." Hays that the question of campaign contributions was "not relevant to the inquiry." Senator Stanfield, Republican of Oregon, agreed with him, protesting against questioning about campaign funds. "How is this relevant to the inquiry?" asked Senator Bursum, of New Mexico. "Well, if Mr. Sinclair did contribute 75,000 shares and immediately thereafter got a lease to Teapot Dome, I would consider it relevant," Walsh said. WASHINGTON, March 22.—Harry F. Sinclair, multi-millionaire oil magnate, who leased Teapot Dome from Albert B. Fall, defied the senate public lands committee today. He refused to testify. Sinclair said he did not decline to answer questions for fear his testimony might incriminate him. "because there is nothing in any of the facts or circumstances of the lease of Teapot Dome which does or can incriminate me." "Any pertinent question which your committee could ask," continued Sinclair, should necessarily relate to the procurement of the lease and its validity. You and the body from which you derive your authority have already sat in judgment on these questions and remitted them to courts of proper jurisdiction. "I shall reserve any evidence I may be able to give for those courts to which you and your colleagues have deliberately referred all questions of which you had any jurisdiction and shall respectfully decline to answer any questions propounded by your committee." When Sinclair concluded, Walsh asked Sinclair about testimony given previously by Fred G. Bonfils, editor of the Denver Post. "I decline to answer on of counsel." replied Sinclair. Senator Walsh then ercus questions by Sinclair. Invariably the oil (Continued on page)
