INTEREST IN PRIMARY SLIGHT Anaheimers Spend Most of Their Time Going To Polls This Year There isn't much interest in the presidential primary next Tuesday, Ultimate Result Would Have Been Death for Children, He Says The "story book stepmother" and the man with whom she lived as wife during the time the two are alleged to have treated brutally the two small children of the man, today received the full force of statutory law as regards those convicted of contributing to the delinquency of minors. Mrs. Bertha Phares, the mother of two plump youngsters, who, while it was alleged the children of the man she was living with were nearly starved, never received beatings or went hungry, was sentenced by Superior Judge F. C. Drumm to serve two years in jail. Floyd E. Hatch, the father of Clyde Hatch, eight and Alta Mae Hatch, six, was sentenced to serve 18 months. "Any man with an atom of manhood in his home and inflict such abuses to his own children," declared the judge as he inflicted sentence. Mrs. Phares he described as a "shame to womanhood." The lighter sentence given Hatch was not administered because the court was of the opinion Judge Drumm said, that he was not as responsible for the crime as Mrs. Hatch but because upon him falls the duty of supporting the two children. In the capacity of presiding judge of the juvenile court, Judge Drumm said he would issue an order forever removing the children from the custody of their father at the same time requiring the latter to pay $40 a month toward their support as soon as his term in jail is served. Under penalty of return to jail, Hatch must never again see Mrs. Phares, the court ordered. The two standing as the court scathingly arraigned them, displayed no outward emotion but when they were led away they broke into chattering conversation and seemed ill at ease, officers said. "To people so debased and so bereft of shame or conscience as you this sentence will be of no more punishment than to deprive you of outside air," the judge went on. He added that it was their fortune that he did not have the authority to give much heavier sentences in the state prison. The ultimate circumstance in the treatment of the two children would have been death, he told them. This view was also expressed by Chief Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley who addressed the court before sentence By DAVID WRENCE WASHING May 3. — The White House has an early adjournment of business.

When the knows definitely that sums aside for tax payment SLIGHT Anaheimers Spend Most of Their Time Going To Polls This Year There isn't much interest in the presidential primary next Tuesday, J. S. Howard, member of the Central County Republican Committee and President of the Coolidge-President Club, admitted today, owing to the foregone conclusion that Coolidge will win in both the primaries and the election. Nevertheless Howard looks for a twothirds vote, both in Anaheim and over the state generally. The club won't hold the public meeting contemplated, owing to failure to get a good speaker from Los Angeles. Johnson supporters are not active in the south or anywhere else except the San Francisco bay region. Confidence in Coolidge as a man and in his experience, and the feeling that he deserves another term are the factors that will count in the primaries. In Howard's opinion, the putting of the welfare of the country first also will help the president. C. C. Chapman's appeal will have some effect, contrary to that of Johnson himself, who hurt rather than helped his cause, Howard thinks. Althe year is little more than four months old, the primary Tuesday will be the sixth election at which good citizens of Anaheim have voted, two school bond elections, grammar school and high school trustee elections and municipal elections having transpired in recent months. And there are more to come, state primary in midsummer and presidential in November with possibility of a harbor bond vote. AGED MAN HURT; BOY SPEEDS OFF Fred L. Clark, 60, of 415 S. Broadway, Santa Ana, is in the Santa Ana hospital with a fractured skull, sustained when his light delivery car was struck at noon by James Briggs, 16, Santa Ana High school youth. His recovery is considered doubtful. The boy was not arrested although he kept on his way after the accident. The youth's car jumped over the curb, plowed through a lawn and was stopped barely in time to avoid crashing To people so debased and so bereft of shame or conscience as you this sentence will be of no more punishment than to deprive you of outside air," the judge went on. He added that it was their fortune that he did not have the authority to give much heavier sentences in the state prison. The ultimate circumstance in the treatment of the two children would have been death, he told them. This view was also expressed by Chief Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley who addressed the court before sentence was passed. It was Mozley and Probation Officer R. E. Miller who went to the Hatch "love nest" on Edinger-st., Santa Ana, and rescued the two children from their "treatment for kidney trouble and influenza," as Mrs. Phares described their plight. Mozley in his statement said that the ill treatment of the two children was but a part of a systematic and effective plan, seemingly to rid the two of the burden of the little lad and lass. Mozley announced the statutory charge against Mrs. Phares in connection with her living with Hatch would be dropped. Her husband, Robert Phares, had declined to press the charge, he said. OILMAN DIVORCED Along with a decree of divorce, Olive M. Martin of Orange will granted a small car, $1733 in landlord Oil stock and awarded equivalent to $13,200 for the support of her two children by Superior Court Judge R. Y. Williams. The divorce case was heard late yesterday. Martin, who works for the Standard Oil company at Inglewood, was given one of the two family cars, the same car which his wife says he used in amorous outings with Florence Campbell of La Habra. Mrs. Martin claimed that her husband used the fictitious nam of "Tom Hillhouse" at times in carrying out cloudestine affairs with Miss Campbell.

QUARANTINE REMOVED IN 5 COUNTIES Federal Regulations Not So Stringent As Were State SACRAMENTO, May 3.—Gov- IS COOLIDGE OPPOSED TO HUGHES? (By George R. Holmes) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 3—The flat statement at the White House that President Coolidge is in favor of excluding Japanese as courteously as possible, but still excluding them—and the strong intimation that he will sign the new immigration bill containing the exclusion clause aroused considerable speculation here today as to the status of Secretary of State Hughes. Outwardly, at least, the president and his secretary of state are disclosed to be on the opposite sides of one of the most important questions of foreign policy that has come up in years. Certainly it is the gravest foreign issue that has confronted Mr. Coolidge. Both in writing and orally before the committees of congress, Secretary Hughes has consistently opposed any legislation that would bar the Japanese by statute. Even while the present immigration bill was being written in the house immigration committee, Mr. Hughes sent a letter to Chairman Johnson, urging that Japan be allowed a quota of immigration just as any other country whose nationals are eligible to citizenship. He told members of congress (Continued on Page Two) 5 COUNTIES Federal Regulations Not So Stringent As Were State SACRAMENTO, May 3—Governor F. W. Richardson and Dr. John B.

Dr. U. G. Houck, in command of the federal and state eradication forces, said today: "We feel that in the present situation we can safely release territory on the outside of the infected circles." THREE NEW INFECTIONS SACRAMENTO, May 3—Los Angeles was the only district in the state in which new cases of the hoof and mouth disease were reported here today, three infections in the southern county affecting about 100 cattle. EXPECT MODIFICATION After a short period it may be expected that unnecessary embargoes established by various western states against products of California in their sincere but unscientific effort to protect themselves from outbreaks of the foot and mouth disease in certain small areas in California will be modified. This is a message sent to California by Secretary Wallace and Dr. Mohler, chief of the dept. of Animal Industry, through a special committee of California citizens returning after a week's conference with Washington officials.

"I admit I am extremely anxious. The perils, the dangers and the hazards I keenly realize but I will not despair—I will continue to hope—until we know Mrs. Martin said in a voice of suppressed emotion. "Everyone has said Major Martin is one of the best cross-country pilots in the service. He has never had an accident of any sort thru all the years of his flying—never even broken a rudder, a wing or a wire. "But the wild and rugged Alaskan Peninsular over which he is flying—and the beautiful young matron's hands went to her heart in a gesture of despair controlled with great effort. Mrs. Martin, and her only son, John Robert, 8, are at the home of her sister, Mrs. Lewis J. Utt, where they have planned to remain until Major Martin returns after circling the globe.

This compares with 56 last week, when the real beginning of the valencia season was mace. One of the West Anaheim houses alone shipped around 25 cars. Shipments from elsewhere in No. Orange-co were light. The southern half of the county made a good beginning. Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Co-op, Orange Ass'n reported that prices had weakened a little the seven days owing to the quantities of navel oranges shipped. Redlands, San Bernardino and Pomona have been crowding the market, driven to it by the fact that oranges are dropping and that the reason's close is only a month off.
