Nobody, however, know when they are in control except in more general law enforcement. When the Knights control the will be no more oil scandals, the lecturer declared. The principle of righteousness and a clean government will prevail. The Knights will put the Bible back into the public schools. They are not opposed to any church. People may worship any way they desire. But who any church tries to control or fictional in office, then the Knight will speak, because the order stands for absolute separation from church and state and for keeping hands off the public schools. Bootleggers and law-breakers are not only barred from the order, but their names are listed at the state headquarters in Los Angeles. Chief of Police Kelly of Passaic, who dismissed seven members of his force merely because they were Knights, won't remain in office long. Bronson predicted there were three Klansman on the stage, two of them without their masks. These two and masked member who delivered the Klansmen's prayer "God Give Me Men" were the only ones in job. Bronson explained that the bulldigations a Klansman took were not secret. They were on file in Washington. But the membership was, and that fact made the order dreaded, because a law-breaker never knew when the eyes of Klansman was upon him. The mask was used principally in initiatory ceremonies at Bronson. LOCAL BOYS ON STAGE HERE TONITE "Griff" Barnett and F. B. Harden of the Gas Appliance Co., are going to stage a comedy sketch for their friends at the California this evening and it's going to be second only in excitement to "The Held to Answer" at United "Held to Answer" at United House Peters and Lydia Knott in "HELD TO ANSWER" A story decidedly out of the ordinary is dramatically told in "Held to Answer," the feature coming to the United Theater Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Peter Clark MacFarlane, one of the best-filled authors of the day has never written anything more thrilling or exciting than this drama of a fighting minister, an actress and the criminal courts. He has taken as his central character a young actor who deserts the stage to preach the word of God and serve humanity in a small western city. An actress friend follows him and, through jealousy, manages to have him accused of theft. Mr. MacFarlane has woven a tale that holds one spellbound. It is no wonder that the novel enjoyed the largest sale of any book ever published in America and it is said that House Peters enacts the role of the fighting minister who conducts his own defense when called into court to answer the charge of theft. The important role of the actress is played by Grace Carle who has seldom, if ever, been provided with a part more suitable to her talents. MEN WEAR SKIRTS Ray Lazzarroni and his group of "skirts" will play the Business WILLLOCATE HERE W. H. Plummer, formerly of Seattle and vicinity, but now of Los Angeles for 35 years, a practicing attorney, will locate here at an early date, it is announced. Plummer incidentally had his first case in Judge Abilborn's court this morning—his own. The charge against him was parking his car more than two hours in the business district. He said he had slept more than two hours, and when he awoke his car had been tagged. He said it was the first time he had ever had to plead his own case in court. He good naturally paid his fine of one dollar, and announced that it would not deter him from coming to Anaheim. PROBE CHICAGO FIRE CHICAGO, April 19. While relatives, friends and volunteers feverishly searched the ruins, state and city officials today joined hands in a penetrating inquiry into suspicious circumstances surrounding a fire which, destroying Curran Hall, a landmark of the west side, resulted in the death of eight city firemen and one unidentified civilian and the injury of a score of other firemen. LOCAL BOYS ON STAGE HERE TONITE "Griff" Barnett and F. B. Hanzen of the Gas Appliance Co., are going to stage a comedy sketch for their friends at the California this evening and it's going to be second only in excitement to "The Sea Hawk."

SHATTER RECORD BOSTON, April 19.—Clarence De Mar of Boston, the grand old man of long distance races, today shattered the world's record in winning for the fourth time the annual B.A.A. marathon.

That wouldn't have been so bad if they had permitted him to stay and us to place with him a special nurse who was necessary. We know of another patient, including the brother of Superintendent Zaiser, who have been permitted special nurses. Altogether, with the bill from the Anaheim hospital, we spent nearly $300 on this disabled veteran. This was contributed by Santa Ana post and by friends at the laundry." Major Marks brot up the veterans' bureauau situation when he declared that on a recent visit to Camp Kearney he had found it filled up again and that there were 73 helpless dependants who were receiving no compensation joyed the largest sale of any book ever published in America and it is said that House Peters enacts the role of the fighting minister who conducts his own defense when called into court to answer the charge of theft.

CHANCE RETURNS CHICAGO, April 19.—Frank Chance, manager of the Chicago White Sox, today was ordered to return to California by his physician, who said that his condition was not improving here despite an operation for sinus. READ THE CLASSIFIED PAGE TRY A CLASSIFIED AD PROBE CHICAGO FIRE CHICAGO, April 19.—While relatives, friends and volunteers feverishly searched the ruins, state and city officials today joined hands in a penetrating inquiry into suspicious circumstances surrounding a fire which, destroying Curran Hall, a landmark of the west side, resulted in the death of eight city firemen and one unidentified civilian and the injury of a score of other firemen. From tenants and neighbors the officials were trying to elicit information which would dovetail into a coherent, whole story which has been related of a tiny blaze suddenly turning into a conflagration accompanied by explosions of quantities of benzine carried into the building only a few days ago, of insurance increased for no plausible reason a month past, of anger because two floors had been leased to a negro church. LONG BEACH—A warrant for $2,170,000, the price to be paid by this city for local So. Cos. Gas Co. plant and equipment May 15, was placed in the Pacific-Southwest bank's escrow department. Fairyland Theatre Anaheim TOMORROW AND SUNDAY VAUDEVILLE BOBBY NASH IN MERRY MOMENTS OF MIMICRY LA ROSE & LANE "GONE TO THE BOW-WOWS" HARRY Carey IN "The Night Hawk" ALSO THE SPAT FAMILY IN "HEAVY SEAS" "CAPTAIN KID" EPISODE NO. 9 TIME: 2:20-6:30-8:30 PRICES 10c and 25c Major Marks brot up the veterans' bureau situation when he declared that on a recent visit to Camp Kearney he had found it filled up again and that there were 73 helpless dependants who were receiving no compensation because husbands or fathers had developed tuberculosis after the three-year time limit. According to the present law, the government says a veteran has no right to contract disease when he has been out of service three years. Some disabled veterans without dependants are receiving $80 to $90 per month besides their keep, which is more than they need. Dr. Farrage told of a veteran whose case he had diagnosed as tuberculosis, confirmed by a Monrovia physician, recognized as the leading authority on that subject in the country. Yet the veterans' bureau "fooled around" with the case so long that the veteran left in disgust and has lost any chance he may have had to recover his health. Jack Hebson, Anaheim, told of a veteran, suffering from shrapnel wounds in the leg, who went from Anaheim to a Los Angeles co. veterans bureau hospital. After being ignored for a long time in an ante-room he finally burst open the door into a room frum which sounds of revelry were emanating. There he found two doctors and two nurses staging a liquor party. He was severely reprimanded but finally obtained commitment to Sawtelle where the veterans' bureau doctors told him it would be necessary to amputate his leg below the knee at once and possibly a little later above the knee. He came back to Anaheim where a local physician removed several pieces of shrapnel and the injured member has healed. -Dr. Farrage declared that the veterans' bureau hospitals were marked by incompetency, especially in the surgical staffs. "The average veterans bureau doctor if given a private practice couldn't hold it a year," he declared.

CROWD SEES SEA HAWK PREVIEW "The Sea Hawk" came, saw and conquered Anaheim last night in the world's preview of the great picture, which was shown to a record breaking audience in the California theatre. And this is but one of many victories of Milton Sills, in the title role. The photodrama was wonderfully effective. From the charming home customs in England centuries ago, through the journeys over the Orient every action and property was entirely consistent with the location. The story of the jealous half brother, Lionel, who sought for his wife, Rosamond, dainty Enid Bennett, and through whose machinations Sir Oliver, Milton Sills, became a Spanish pirate ship prisoner, beaten, chained to the cars to be released only by death—the custom of those terrible days. Of course luck follows the handsome Milton, he wades through blood to his eyes, stubbornly refuses to listen to Rosamond's emphatic "noose" and the usual happy ending sends the audience home with an increased admiration for "The Sea Hawk," Milton Sills. The picture shows the enormous expenditure in scenery costuming, lighting, equipment, locations necessarily distant from each other to suit the purpose and proper settings of the story, not to mention the ships built for the exclusive use of the picture. Nothing was omitted to obtaining effect, and with the ability of Mr. Sills, Miss Bennett, and their supporting cast, including hundreds and hundreds of etruscs the picture fan easily could see how the production runs into six figures. And Anaheim was pleased. If New York gods out houses to compare with last night's audience, both in numbers and approval, the Frank Lloyd Production company may be well pleased. Coming to the world's preview were 60 motion picture stars, producers, artists, directors, musicians and others of Hollywood.

LIFT BAN TEMPORARILY TUCSON, Ariz., April 19—Governor Hunt of Arizona today relaxed on the strict blockade placed on roads leading into Arizona from California because of the hoof and mouth disease and went to the relief of 1600 eastbound tourists who are in a pitiful condition at Yuma when he issued orders that all tourists who would submit to fumigation be allowed to cross into this state and continue their trip eastward. The governor vigorously denied he had ordered the blockade lifted. "The blockade is not to be lifted," he told International News Service, "for a single minute. It is simply a temporary relief provision for the tourists who are in a serious condition at Yuma. All those who will submit to fumigation will be allowed to come into this state." The governor also said the equipment necessary for the fumigation was at Yuma and it is expected the fumigation would start this morning. 200 AUTOS PASS THRU LOS ANGELES, April 19—After being stalled in Needles several days because of the Arizona hoof and mouth disease blockade of roads leading into that state from California, 200 auto loads of tourists were today taking a northward course along the west bank of the Colorado river heading toward the Arrowhead trail which they will take eastward to Denver, according to word received here from Needles.
