What part of the loss can be made up through salvage W. G. Knox, city engineer of Santa Ana who is completing the sewer for the four cities could not say. The driver would be the principal item. This is the second serious accident of the sort which has happened. The laying of the rest of the 800 feet of iron pipe into the ocean completing the big project, how will be delayed. The sewer cannot be finished Knox declared today, until 30 days from next Friday, say, allowing a week to repair some of the mischief. Thirty or forty deeds to rights of way still have to be obtained, although the rights were used as the sewer progressed. To pay for rights $9800 was deposited. Attorney Bishop will exercise eminent domain and if there is any legal argument over some to be paid or a second appraisal is demanded that will be fought out in the courts. It may even come in certain cases to a jury trial. However the county's right comes first and no serious interference with obtaining clear titles will be possible.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 16.—A new world court plan will make its bow to the senate and the country in a few days. It will bear the authorship of Senator George Wharton Pepper, Republican of Pennsylvania, an earnest advocate of the settlement of international disputes by justifiable methods. Senator Pepper's court project will be the fourth to take its place on the senate's pending file. Its predecessors are the Harding-Hughes original proposal to join the present court under the League of Nations; the Lenroot plan, modifying the original proposal in many particulars; and the Lodge plan for creation of a new court entirely divorced from the league, presented only a week ago. Senator Pepper said today his would be "a composite" world court proposal, in that it would embody the principles outlined by the late President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes in their plan; the reservations laid down by Hughes, and the composite ideas of other members of the senate committee on foreign relations. Pepper said he was "hopeful" of getting some action on his proposal at this season of congress, notwithstanding the prospect of adjournment on June 7. The chances are however, that the Pepper plan will join the Harding, Hughes, Lenroot and Lodge plans in the committee's search was being continued today for the missing officials of Dixie Gasline, Inc., which was organized to operate a chain of service stations in So. Calif., while investigators from the state corporation department audited books of the company in an effort to ascertain the extent of the alleged swindling of stockholders. Following the filing of a criminal complaint against John Saxen Porter, who has been described as the president of the company, and E. A. Lawson, said to be the vice president, warrants were issued for their arrest on the ground that they have violated the state corporate securities act. The specific allegation is that they failed to comply with the requirements of their permit to sell stock. When State Investigators Keach and Cassidy raided the apartment formerly occupied by one of the officers in Anaheim they said they learned the connection of Lawson with the concern. Stockholders who declare that they were promised service station jobs in view of their healthy stock subscriptions began to file labor claims today. E. A. Erickson, who was employed at the Dixie station at Sixteenth and Heaver streets, Los Angeles, told investigators that a total of $543 is due him for services. The concern established stations in Los Angeles, Monrovia, Anaheim and Orange, it was said, the Anaheim station not being completed when the "crash" came. PLAN TO RESTRICT PROFITS OF WAR WASHINGTON, May 16.—Apointment of a federal commission to set up machinery and devise plans for equalizing the burdens and to restrict the profits of war, was authorized by a resolution reported favorably today by the house military affairs committee. The commission is to consist of four congressmen, two senators, the secretaries of war, navy and commerce and one representative each of capital, labor and industry.

Meager, public health nurse with Orange-co. Tuberculosis Ass'n., is making progress in surveying the county for every case in need of assistance. The series of clinics held in the county has been to this end, the last for Anaheim being held yesterday.

This was done on authority of the attorney general after review of evidence presented at the inquiry. Classified Ads Bring Good Results America's Wealth Bonanza For Modern Society Crook NEW YORK May 16. America's abundance of new wealth is offering the criminal greater opportunity that he had ever had before and women who are top-heavy with jewels are making life a bonanza for the present day "society crook" declared Hendrik Van Loon, author of "The Story of Mankind," "The Story of the Bible" and himself a profound student of mankind, in an exclusive interview today. The padlocking of ten of Broadway's most luxurious cabarets, is said Van Loon, being applauded by the "people of the villages who now dominate the cities." "This rustic, middle class people, who control the nation, have always been uncomfortable in cabarets," he said, "because they don't know how to handle a Walter. So, envying those of us who do, they are shouting 'goody!' because the cabarets are closed. "There is nothing symptomatic in the Harry Jackson robbing women of their superfluous jewels. We are just now pasing thru a period of reaction following a violent mental upheaval, the war. There is no use trying to reform these women. They will have children—I hope—and their children will learn at college how to be ladies and gentlemen. "It is equally foolish to try to bring about a millionium by closing cabarets. Our reformers are too impatient. It took us a couple of million years to learn to walk on our kind legs and develop a brain—yet now we are trying to bring about a millennium in 2000 years." New York may console itself, however, that it has done its part to make the world safe for that democracy which will continue here in June."

Acting on this theory, search was started today for several persons whose actions lately are said to have been queer. The box of candy was sent to Bargaret Helffrich, 9, daughter of Mrs. Harriet Helffrich, one of the latest victims of a series of depredations that have aroused local residents. The package of candy was sent thru the mails and hand writing on the package is said to closely resemble that on threatening letters recently received by other residents.

Calif. cities who bought stock in the Keen Hair Stores, Inc., O. C. Hardebeck and Glenn B. Churchill, trustees under the common law of the con- cern, are scheduled to go on trial Monday morning before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. The men are formally charged with obtaining money under false pretenses in connection with the sale of the company's stock. Churchill and Hardebeck have evidence of a hard fought battle in the courts. In a statement recently the pair denied that their activities were illegal and made the charge that the difficulties which the chain of stores encountered was brought about by the hasty action of the nervous stockholders. Confidence that they would be acquitted in court was expressed by both. Action against the trustees following an investigation by the state corporation department, was based upon a complaint sworn to by one of the stockholders. A second complaint is now pending in the courts here the two men having been given a preliminary hearing by Justice of the Peace John B. Cox, who held them to the superior court. It is alleged by stockholders Churchill and Hardebeek represented to them that they, the two trustees, had invested $10,000 of their own money in the venture. This statement was not the truth, it is charged.

WANTED Appropriation of $5000 Each From 3 Counties Is Petitioned An appropriation of $5000 cash for water conservation and flood control and of $1000 each for two extra fine patrolmen will be asked of the boards of supervisors of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino-cos, as the result of a meeting in Riverside yesterday of county engineers and water conservationists of the three counties. It was the sentiment of most of the 100 men present at Fairmont Park that the overhead would be too heavy for an elaborate series of dams, the cost of which was estimated at $15,000,000, and similar results would be achieved by water spreading in the gravel cones at the base of the mountains. The estimate was that of City Engineer George Hinckley of Redlands who has been in charge of the water spreading operations. Decision to ask for the appropriations was made on motion of George Sherwood of Fullerton. Whether the three counties will vote them is uncertain, with the exception of Orange, but Supervisors Keeney and Packard of the San Bernardino and Riverside boards thought the amounts would be set aside by their counties. The past year an appropriation of $2000 to which later another $1000 was added, was made by each county. Orange county conservationists present were of the opinion that this county would not benefit by the impounding of waters in a dam high in the mountains. Hinckley estimated that 100,000 acre feet annually could be impounded by a series of dams. H. H. Hale of Placentia told of the water spreading of the Water Conservation Assn. of 1921,11,200,000 acre feet was spread, he declared. This year there has been no waste water in the Santa Ana river. Attorney Horace Head of Santa Ana said the 1919 water conservation act would have to be formed preparatory to building a dam. Those present from Anaheim included City Councilmen Metcalf, Slack and Stock, Power House Superintendent Hannum and Leo Sheridan, secretary of the Anaheim Union Water Co.

ENDORSE OIL LEASE PLAN AT CYPRESS The matter of forming community leases of 80 or more acres was heartily approved by Cypress property owners last night and plans for a big community meeting for next Monday night in Cypress school were made. The trustees of the four sections are considering the lease plan of the Standard Oil Co., with modifications to suit their locality. S. J. Scally was chosen to succeed Senator Anderson on one of the committees. At a meeting of the Farm Bureau Center held May 5 at Cypress school when a discussion arose as to the best methods of protecting the community in case oil is discovered in the vicinity, it was decided of enough importance that a joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and the Farm Center be called for May 9, for considering his matter exclusively. It was brought out in open discussion at the meeting by various speakers, who have been interested in the several fields in So. Calif., that oil wells drilled in the proper manner were more efficient and would produce a great deal more oil than twice the number of wells unwisely drilled on the same acreage. The Emery field, north of Cypress, with 90 wells drilled was cited as an illustration of scientific methods. The 5000 wells drilled in the Santa Fe Springs, Huntington Beach and Signal Hill district under criminally unscientific method- OF GRAFT Says He Gave $200,000 To Close Friend of Daugherty WASHINGTON, May 16.—Expenditure of nearly $2,000,000 for protection and liquor withdrawal permits was admitted today before the Wheeler-Brookhart committee by George Remus, millionaire Cincinnati bootlegger, now serving a sentence in the Atlanta federal prison for violating the Volistad act. Of this amount, Remus said that he paid "between $200,000 and $250,000" to the late Jesse Smith, friend and confident of former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. His first payment to Smith, Remus declared, consisted of fifty $1000 bills. He said the permits were signed by Prohibition Directors Hart, of New York, and McConnell of Pennsylvania, and maintained that the withdrawals were legal. Describing his various meetings with Smith to pay him, Remus said that their relation was a "cold blooded business proposition with no sentiment." The whisky which he withdrew was ostensibly for "medicinal purposes." It was sold in Oklahoma, Nebraska, Indiana, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York and Missouri. Remus said that his cash payments to Smith—$30,000 at a time—continued even after he was convicted the first time. The payments were made. Remus explained, because Smith promised him to "fix things" so that he would not have to go to prison. This was to have been accomplished thru a reversal by the U.S. court of appeals. Something went wrong, however, and Remus was sent to Atlanta. Remus said he had owned "seven or more distilleries in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana." Remus said he was owner or part owner of the following properties: the Fleischmann plant, Cincinnati the Squibbs Co., of Indiana the Edgewater Distillery of Cincinnati, and the Old Lexington, the Pogue, the Rugby, the Clifton Spirings and Greendale distilleries of Kentucky. "I paid from $50,000 up to $250,000 for each of these plants!" Remus added. "I got some whiskey in several instances, but in others, I got only the physical property." "Did you ever meet Jesse Smith?" Senator Wheeler, Democrat of Montana, asked. "Yes, in New York, in 1921." WOMAN IN LOS ANGELES JAIL REPORTS $20,000 GEMS TAKEN LOS ANGELES, May 16.—The 1,000 pearl necklace of Mrs. W. Tomblin, also known as A. E. Rickenbacker, held in following her arrest in San Francisco on complaint of a Passaic hotel, which was stolen from while in the county jail last night, was recovered this afternoon. According to jail authorities, Mr. Redmond, convicted "flapbandit," took the necklace in Mrs. Tomblin and gave it to little niece who visited her morning. After the little girl's mother covered the necklace and upon hearing where the child got it re-ruled it to the authorities, Mrs. Redmond was sentenced in senior court here today to from years to life in San Clemente prison for the holdup and robbery of C. R. Morgan. LOS ANGELES, May 16.—A string of pearls, said to be worth $20,000 was stolen last night from Mrs. John Wesley Tomblin, also known as Mrs. A. E. Rickenbacker, who was brot here from San Francisco yesterday, where she was arrested on complaint of a Pasadena Hotel, while she was being held in the county jail, according to a report made public at the jail today. The pearls, jail officials said, must have taken by one of the women inmates of the jail and a search was started among them for the necklace. Mrs. Tomblin wore the pearls yesterday... She was expected to be taken to Pasadena today. Cincinnati the Squibb Co. of Indiana the Edgewater Distillery of Cincinnati, and the Old Lexington, the Pogue, the Rugby, the Clifton Spirings and Greendale distilleries of Kentucky. "I paid from $50,000 up to $250,000 for each of these plants" Remus added. "I got some whiskey in several instances, but in others, I got only the physical property." "Did you ever meet Jesse Smith?" Senator Wheeler, Democrat of Montana, asked. "Yes, in New York, in 1921," said Remus. "I was introduced to him by my counsel, Elijah Zoline, of New York. Remus said that Zoline was the law partner of Thomas B. Felder. In all conversations with Zoline, Smith or Felder, Remus said, "only two persons would talk, the third gracefully withdrawing." "What did Jesse Smith tell you when you asked his help to get liquor withdrawals?" asked Wheeler. "He knew that I was a dealer on a large scale and I wanted his influence," said Remus. "Smith understood that I wanted his help to protect me if something went wrong as well as to get the withdrawal permits." "What were you told about Smith's connection—about whether he was close to Mr. Daugherty?" "That he was very close to Daugherty." "What did he say about any indictments?" "He said there would not be any convictions, but there might be prosecutions. I was never to go to jail but I did go." "What did you pay him?" "I think it was $50,000 the first time," said Remus. "What was the aggregate?" "I can't state exactly but it was between $200,000 and $250,000." "That money was paid to Jesse Smith for protection?" "Yes, and for withdrawal permits." Remus said he had paid Smith by checks in some instances. He offered to produce the checks later. "在 aggregate, I paid out in cash and checks $1,800,000." Remus added.
