WRONG US OF FLAG SCORED Raising of Flag by Scouts Feature of Memorial Program Careless use of the flag "fairs, dances," etc., where DEFENSE Supports Harding-Hughes Plan and Rejects All Substitute Measures WASHINGTON, May 30.—Gazette upon the national cemeteries with its thousands of tiny crosses, President Coolidge today pledged anew his determination to maintain the nation's ideal of freedom, security and peace. American entrance into the permanent court of international justice, coupled with an adequate maintenance of national defense, will accomplish this purpose, the president said. In making his plea for adherence to the protocol of the world court, Mr. Coolidge pledged himself to the support of the Harding Hughes court and rejected the substitute measures proposed by Senator Lodge of Mass., and Pepper of Pennsylvania generally regarded as two of the administration's stunnerest supporters. Speaking of national armament and defense, President Coolidge declared that maintenance of security and order would be cheap at any price. He made clear, however, that he was opposed to "every kind of military aggravation and to all forms of competitive armament," and audited "It is not to be inferred that it would be anything less than courting national master to leave our country barren of defense. Human nature is a very constant quality. While there is justification for hoping and believing that we are moving toward perfection, it would be idle and absurd to assume we have already reached it. We cannot disregard history. There have been and will be tendencies of one nation to encroach on another. I believe in the maintenance of an army and navy, not for aggression, but for defense. Security and order are our most valuable possessions." As the president delivered his Memorial Day address he looked down on the upturned faces of the pitiful remnant of the white haired men who had comprised the hosts of the Blue and Grey of the civil war; of the middle aged men who had followed Roosevelt and Dewey in the Spanish-American war; and of the proud youths who had battled for American principles in the world war. FINAL FIGHT TO SAVE ROBES CLEVELAND, May 39.—The ecclesiastical board that is trying Bishop William Montgomery Brown for the ancient crime of heresy applied an accelerator to the proceedings today and the defense of the aged clergyman got under way in a clatter of near fireworks. Bishop John Murray Gardner, presiding at one time threatened to prevent any of Bishop Brown's witnesses from taking the stand unless Joseph W. Sharts, chief counsel for Bishop Brown, shortened his arguments. CLEVELAND, May 30.—Beaten down with monotonous regularity in his efforts to show that "heresy" is rampant among the clergy of the Protestant Episcopal church—in that comparatively few of them now accept the literal truth of the miraculous parts of the scriptures—Bishop William Montgomery Brown began his final fight today to save his church robes from the ecclesiastical board. Today or possibly tomorrow the white-haired bishop will be found guilty of doctrinal error by the court of eight fundamentalists hearing his case and as such he will be deposed from the church in which he has spent nearly half a century. The verdict is considered as certain as death and taxes. Bishop Brown's only hope of winning even a partial victory in the celebrated case fled when the bishopric court decided—unanimously—that the 69 year old defendant could not summon the testimony of the so-called "modernists" to support his contention that Christ never really lived in a corporeal sense. That Lot's wife never really turned to salt, that the whale never swallowed Jonah, and that the world is the product of evolution thrue the ages rather than the handiwork of God, as set forth in the Book of Genesis.

Y. Williams' court. The case is that of Renfro against Eugene Bleton, past and present officers respectively, of a confeit W. Centre-st. Renfro sold the confectionery to Middleton for $16,000 and 'n seeks to foreclose the $9525 mortgage. Middleton, asking damages, clauses that Renfro misrepresented the assets and returns of his business; also its repute. Middleton declares his confectionery been known as a "boot-legg joint" though its former owner assured him he claims, that it was parronied by the best class of itzens.

City Councilman A. A. Slaback, author of the new law, declared today. The council has no patience with flagrant offenders and Judge Charles Kuechel, City Recorder and Justice of the Peace, will hold up the hands of the police in enforcing the law. The new ordinance passed its first reading at the last meeting of city council. It will be passed in due course. The existing ordinance was framed, Slaback averred, largely for the benefit of the bootleger. "What do I care for a fine of $300," a bootleger told Slaback before the election, "I can sell my stuff at $20 a gallon and I could get rid of fifty gallons tonight." On this account, said Slaback, jail sentences will be meted out where possible, because the disgrance of a term behind the bars is more of a deterrent than a fine. First offenders will be fined, if circumstances show they haven't been habitual violators, but both fine and jail will await them on the second offence. The new ordinance, framed with the aid of City Attorney William P. Webb, Jr., has been brought up to date and meets the requirements of the Volstead act. It has been made so broad as to cover every type of offence, although that permitting physicians to prescribe and pharmacists to sell in their prescription is 16 ounces of liquor at a time. STOCK SALE Jack Gaines of Orange Rearrested and Bail Increased to $10,000 More arrests were promised today by the district attorney's office in the case of alleged sale of stock in the Pacific corporation, of Signal hill, while Jack Gaines, Orange reality broker, reposed in the county jail following his second arrest. Gaines who bad been at liberty under $5,000 bail, was rearrested late yesterday when bail was increased to $10,000 and he could not supply that amount. Benjamin S. Brubaker, bank teller at Orange, who is accused with Gaines, was being sought today for similar action. A second complaint was issued later yesterday by the district attorney's office against Brubaker and R. C. Steele, charging them with the sale without a permit, of $100 in stock to Oscar Downs, of Orange. Steele is said to be president and Brubaker assistant secretary, of the Pacific corporation. Steele's address is not yet known. Chief Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley also made known today that incorporators of the company will be prosecuted as soon as they can be located. Their names have not, as yet, been ascertained, he said. WHITTED PLANS STIFF DEFENSE One of the keenest court battles of recent years in Orange-coil is scheduled Monday in Superior Judge F. C. Drumm's court when Dr. R. E. Whittied, Santa Ana dentist, comes to trial on a statutory charge, involving a 17-year-old Santa Ana girl. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson will take personal charge of the prosecution and will probably be aided by his chief deputy, C. N. Mozley. The defense will be represented by Attorney Clyde Bishop, of Santa Ana, and Attorney Lecompte Davis of Los Angeles, two of the most noted criminal lawyers in the Southland. Dr. Whittied, who is at liberty under $10,000 bail, is accused not only by the young girl, but by several other boys and girls, the authorities declare. QUIZ YOU ON FRANK MURDER CHICAGO, May 30.

TAKES FIRST PRIZE OF $20,000 Cooper Nosed Out Late in Hoosier Classic Before Crowd of 150,000 QUIZ YOUTH ON FRANK MURDER CHICAGO, May 30. — Nathan E. Leopold, Jr., of Chicago, student and son of Nathan Leopold, millionaire lox manufacturer, today confessed he owned the pair of glasses found near the body of Robert Franks, 13-year-old school boy kidnapped and murdered last week. Leopold first said the glasses "might be his," but later, after search of his home revealed the empty case into which they fitted, he admitted they were his own. He said he probably dropped them in a visit May 17 or 18, to the swamp where she body was found. He was taken into custody when district attorney's investigators learned that a similar pair had been sold to him. The body of the Franks boy was found eight days ago and rewards totalling $16,000, including $5,000 offered by his father, Jacob Franks, millionaire, are held out for the arrest of his murderer. While Leopold and Richard Loeb, son of Albert H. Loeb, millionaire vice president of Sears Roebuck & Co., were held today as material witnesses, 75 detectives visited fraternity houses and homes of wealthy residents in the Givv. of Chicago district to take into custody for questioning 25 friends of the young student. Leopold, who has beer held secretly since yesterday afternoon, admitted freely that he was a frequent visitor to the location where Robert Franks' nude body was found half concealed in a cultrial. Orange prices continue to look up in eastern markets, altho the backwardness of the summer has interfered a little with business. Yesterday on the New York market several brands of Anaheim fruit brought good prices. Calif. Fruit Exchange reports all grades averaged 11 cents per box higher than a year ago. Sizes, which usually determine prices, are not announced, but sample returns are: Anaheim Gloriana, Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n., $5.40. Delicia, same house, $4.75; Mother Colony, Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., $5.25; Mother Colony, $4.10; Mayflower Stewart Fruit Co., $4.25. The Anaheim Valencia Orange Growers' Ass'n. which has been largely concentrating on orange juice, found time to ship a number of carloads of fruit and prices size considered were good. Lemon prices are not strengthening as rapidly as those of oranges. The Pomona valley still was shipping St. Mike's sweets, etc., which the Anaheim district cleaned up on many weeks ago. This fruit is cheap and is furnishing some competition even within the exchange, but prices are very low. JURY GETS KEEN CASE LATE MON. After requiring a day and a half to pick a jury, the case of Glenn B. Churchill and O. C. Hardabeck, accused trustees of the case. $20,000 Cooper Nosed Out Late in Hoosier Classic Before Crowd of 150,000 SPEEDWAY INDIANAPOLIS, May 20 — "Smiling Joe" Boyer, of Detroit, relief driver for L. L. Corum, of Indianapolis, one of his Duesenberg teammates, won first place and established a new world's record for the 500 mile race in a close finish at the speedway today. He beat Cooper by one minute and 25 seconds, and took the first prize of $20,000 with Corum's car. Cooper, after making a glorious effort, overhauling all opposition, was forced to yield, as was Jimmy Murphy, 1922 winner, when they were forced to make too frequent trips to the pits. The time of the winner was five hours five minutes, 23.51 seconds. The average speed was 98.25 miles an hour. Last year's average was 90.95 miles an hour. Boyer, after participating in many 500 mile races with no better than a place outside of the first ten, finally crashed thru. He was to figure in the prize money with Corum. Boyer is 30 years old, is married and his father is a millionaire. Altho winning first place. Boyer's car did not figure greatly in the lap prize money. It was divided between Murphy with $4,650 and Cooper $2,050 respectively. Cooper won a total of $12,050 and Murphy $9,650. Cooper was second, Murphy third, and Hartz in a Durant was fourth. Boyer relieved Corum in the 105th lap while Corum was in third place. He began a furious drive which was augmented by troubles of Cooper and Murphy in the way of tires and motor trouble. Corum to whom the honor of winning the race partly goes, drove a Duesenberg Special. Bennett Hill, in a Miller Special, came in fifth. Cooper's time in second place was five hours, six minutes, 47.18, and his average wa 97.78 miles an hour. Murphy's time was five hours, eight minutes 25.39 seconds and his average 95.27. Peter DePaolo in a Duesenberg White Leopold and Richard Loeb, son of Albert H. Loeb, millionaire vice president of Sears Roebuck & Co., were held today as material witnesses, 75 detectives visited fraternity houses and homes of wealthy residents in the Univ. of Chicago district to take into custody for questioning 25 friends of the young student. Leopold, who has been held secretly since yesterday afternoon, admitted freely that he was a frequent visitor to the location where Robert Franks' nude body was found half concealed in a culvert filled with muddy water. "I've been there 50 times," he told detectives, explaining that it was his favored place to study bird life, a subject in which he was intensely interested. Leopold graduated from the Harvard school for boys, where the Franks boy was a pupil, in 1920. Since then he has attended the law school at the Univ. of Chicago, in addition to taking special courses in sociology and doing research in sex psychology. Meantime detectives enroute to Louisville in hope of getting a statement from Charles Ford Heath, Chicago druggist believed dying from an overdose of a narcotic, were working on the belief that Heath's flight from Chicago and his statement to a hotel clerk in Louisville that he was wanted in connection with the Franks murder were the result of an imagination oversimplified by the knowledge that police wanted to (Continued on Page Five) JURY GETS KEEN CASE LATE MON. After requiring a day and a half to pick a jury, the case of Glenn B. Churchill and O. C. Hardabeck, accused trustees of the Keen Hat Stores Co., was west under way as attorneys rested today while awaiting resumption of the trial in Superior Judge R. Y. Williams' court Monday. The prosecution, which charges the trustees with obtaining money under false pretenses from Anabelm stockholders, called nine witnesses yesterday, the jury having been completed just before the noon recess. Each of the witnesses testified that in purchasing stock in the Keen Hat Stores, they had been told by Churchill or Hardabeck that the trustees had themselves invested $5000 each in the business. The case is expected to go to the jury late Monday. BABE HITS 12TH NEW YORK, May 30.—Babe Ruth poled his twelfth home run of the season in the first game against Philadelphia today. It came in the third inning with Harris on the mound. New School Will be Built Within Estimate of $80,000 The Anaheim Board of Education and C. C. Smith, superintendent of grammar schools, is extending an urgent invitation to the public to visit the new grammar school now being built on East Center-st., especially within the next few days. An excellent understanding of the strength of the building will be gained which, after the plastering inside and out is completed, will be impossible. Three outstanding features in the structure, to which the board points with pride, are the solid brick walls, the concrete lintel with steel reinforcement, extended entirely around the building, lying the walls further supported by two brick cross walls 12 inches thick, and the trusses of the roof each held together with 24 bolts and quantities of nails. The building is so solid that it could be turned over without collapse. The school is almost like one built recently in Garden Grove at a cost of $88,000, but instead of being frame, as that one is, the walls are of solid brick and the outlay here is $8000 less. The board is congratulating itself upon the fact that the new school will be completed within the first estimated cost of $80,000. SPEEDWAY. INDIANAPOLIS, May 30.—Earl Cooper, in a Stud-baker, snatched this lead from Jimmy Murphy on the 42nd lap of the 500 mile race, lost it for a few seconds and then regained it. They were doing 100 miles an hour, running hood to hood. Cooper increased his lead slightly in the next few miles but always with Murphy pressing closely. At 100 miles the time was one hour one minute and 49-100th seconds. The average was 98.45 miles. At 125 miles Cooper was leading with Murphy 10 seconds behind. The time was one hour 16 minutes:11.91 second. The average was 98.43 last year 96.07. Murphy changed a tire passed by Hill. (Montreal) Marceling, Shingl appointment. Phone:
