BROOKINS, AFFINITY, JAILED Anaheim Couple to Come Up for Judgment Thursday Convicted on their second trial of a statutory offense in connection with a raid on an alleged 'Padlock' Injunction Suits to Be Adopted WASHINGTON, June 17. "Padlock" injunction suits in state as well as federal courts to enforce the liquor laws will be employed through efforts of the federal prohibition unit, Prohibition Commission Haynes said today. Haynes said that briefs of law on the right to file injunction suits in the state courts are being distributed to district attorneys in every state. Use of injunctions will cause before judges instead of juries and therefore save time. C. OF C. ASKS DAWES REAL FRIEND OF RANCHER Wickett Thinks He Won Do More for Farmer Than Any Official "Brigadier General Charles Dawes, Republican nominee vice president, is a friend of farmer and fruitgrower and it Anaheim Couple to Come Up for Judgment Thursday Convicted on their second trial of a statutory offense in Minnesota with a raid on an alleged "love nest" at Newport Beach where J. A. Porter, city marshal, and other officers said they found the two in dishabille, G. E. Brookins, Anaheim painter, and Mrs. Addie Wilvy 19, his assistant and who admittedly later became the center of his affections in preference to his wife and children, were today facing sentence to the state prison for their act. Judge F. C. Drumm set Thursday at 9:30 a.m. for judgment. Whether an attempt to secure a new trial will be made has not yet been decided. The jury in the first trial disagreed. The jury in the second trial took the case shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday and returned the verdict in the early evening. Mrs. Brookins accused Mrs. Wiley of breaking up her home. The defendants but hedged that they were living together as man and wife at Newport Beach. In his argument for acquittal Swannet declared that the circumstance at the alleged "love nest" might prove a good argument for a divorce suit but was not sufficient to convict the two of the statutory charge. The chief deputy district attorney soiled at the convention that their conduct at Newport Beach was innocent and demanded that they be convicted. After the verdict Brookins and Mrs. Wiley went to jail. They had been free on bail since arrest several months ago. SAYS G. O. P. IN WET CONSPIRACY NEW YORK, June 17.—Sensational testimony that Gaston B. Means had represented the Republican party as being in the bootlegging business was given today at the opening of the trial of the former department of justice agent on a charge of illegally removing 50 barrels of whiskey from a distillery at Brownville, Pa. Charles Johnson of Washington, witness for the prosecution, said he just paid Means $200 a barrel to get the whisky out of the C. OF C. ASKS CITY HELP ADVERTISE The work of advertising Anaheim and expanding it industrially is a municipal duty and not up to a limited number of citizens. Consequently it behooves the city to follow the example of 46 other communities in California, including certain ones in Orange co., and appropriate annual sums to help maintain the Anaheim C. of C., which carries on these and many other tasks. This suggestion was made last night by Secretary George W. Reid of the C. of C. in the final speech of a dinner lasting four hours at the Elks Club, when approximately 100 persons mostly members of the organization and their ladies, heard the record of achievements of the last year. The Anaheim Kiwanis Club, abiding by the request of the International Kiwanis that each club meet during the course of the Denver convention, held a joint session with the C. of C. Charley Mann, representing Kiwanis, spoke on Kiwanian ideals, principles and purposes. Reid instanced Fullerton, which makes a heavy annual appropriation to help support its C. of C. He declared that Santa Ana did something similar. Ten counties of California include in their tax-budgets items to aid in supporting county-wide C. of C. Fullerton, Sec. George Raymer said today, appropriated the five per cent of the general fund allowed by state statute or $6000 and took $2000 more from its license fees, making an annual $8000 spent for advertising. Twenty-odd members of the Anaheim C. of C. give $100 to $400 each to it. Reid continued. The new community of Palos Verdes will do the same thing. Wickett Thinks He Will Do More for Farmer Than Any Official "Brigadier General Charles Dawes, Republican nominee, is a friend of the farmer and fruitgrower and it my belief that he will do more them than any man in public office today," said Dr. W. H. Wickett of Fullerton, who had returned today from Cleveland, where he attended the Republican national convention as an alternate delegate from California. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton delegate at large, and mention for the place given Dawes, who on east on a combined business and pleasure trip and will return to Fullerton the last of June. In speaking of Dawes, Wickett said "I picture in your mind a rugger fellow, aggressive, gifted w dynamic force, a man with man of the qualities of Roosevelt, man of action instead of work and you have General Dawes." "The attitude of the people garding Dawes, as I see it, is he is a man of big interests, safty factory to capital, more agreeable to agriculture and who will simplify labor for the public party. They feel he the type of man who will make a stronger combination tha Harding-Coolidge team of five years ago. I believe they we sweep the country at the fall elections and I am not speaking for a partisan standpoint." "President Coolidge has expressed his approval of Dawes as running mate and it is my belief that Coolidge and Dawes make a stronger combination tha Harding-Coolidge team of five years ago. I believe they we sweep the country at the fall elections and I am not speaking for a partisan standpoint." Dr. Wickett expressed the belief that Robert M. LaFolle senator from Wisconsin, wo run as an independent on a third party ticket. Wickett thinks Senator Ralston of Indiana is strongest candidate for the Democratic national convention. Mr. McAdoo: "Any man who can take kick McAdoo clod and come back as he has is a man that will easily be put away at the Democratic national convention." NEW YORK, June 17.—Sensational testimony that Gaston B. Means had represented the Republican party as being in the boot-legging business was given today at the opening of the trial of the former department of justice agent on a charge of illegally reserving 50 barrels of whiskey from a distillery at Brownville, Pa. Charles Johnson of Washington, a witness for the prosecution, said he had paid Means $200 a barrel to get the whisky out of the Brownville distillery and haul it to Pittsburg. He said Means gave him to understand that the liquor could be legally withdrawn. He said a group of Republicans were raising money to pay Secretary of the Treasury Mellon back for a $1,700,000 contribution to the Republican party's campaign fund and that the $200 a barrel I paid him would go into the fund. Johnson testified. He said Commissioner Blair would attend to the withdrawal permits." Johnson said he gave Means $15,097 to get the $50 barrels of whiskey out of the distillery for him. The witness created another sensation when he testified that Elmer W. Jarnoecke, Means' secretary and on trial with him in the liquor withdrawals charges, had told him Means was heading a movement to prevent Henry Ford from getting the Republican nomination for president. Jarnoecke said Ford had hired William Scalfe to conduct city campaign for him. Johnson testified. He said Jarnoecke added: "But I know a man who is going to get Ford—he's Burns' right hand man—Meana." A large crowd attended the trial. Means declared he would "bust things wilda open" before the case went to the jury. BUILDING PERMITS Sue A. Amack, frame addition to dwelling at 229 No. Resh-st; cost $400. E. L.

Airplane Drops Roses Upon Casket of Blast Victim LOS ANGELES, June 17.—Just as a band played a funeral dirge here today at the memorial service for the 48 victims of the U. S. S. Mississippi a giant airplane winged its way in the sky. Pausing over an aliar where the budget items to aid in supporting county-wide C. of C. Fullerton, Sec. George Raymer said today, appropriated the five per cent of the general fund allowed by state statute or $6000 and took $2000 more from its license fees, making an annual $8000 spent for advertising. Twenty-odd members of the Anaheim C. of C. give $100 to $400 each to it. Reid continued. The new community of Palos Verdes will do the same thing. Reid made a strong plea for cooperation, which he averred was at the basis of the home, city and every other institution. The secretary reported that within 22 miles from the city lies a deposit of conglomerate containing high percentage of zinc chloride. A Colorado company is trying to buy it. Last night's dinner was designed to show the C. of C. members what had been and was being accomplished. President Harry D. Riley besides reading a long list of achievements, called on the various committees to make reports. He mentioned among other things: Anaheim's exhibit, costing some $150; at the movie exhibition in Los Angeles; purchase of 15 acres as a permanent site for the Orange Show and expenditure of $3000 annually in interest charges upon it; float at Escondido's grape festival; Orange-co. fair exhibit, costing $261; Los Angeles-co. fair exhibit at Pomona costing $259; co-operation with other cities in a county regional planning commission; two investigations to find out whether an anti-narcotic campaign should be launched with the aid of Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson; Armistice Day float, costing $150; (Continued on Page Six) IRWIN CERTIFIED FOR P.

Upon the unchartered seas from whence there is no homeward cruise departed today the 48 blue- DEMOS WILL BATTLE ON 2ND CHOICE NEW YORK, June 17.—The Democratic national convention that meets in Madison Square Garden one week from today, will be a "battle of the second choices" if the talk among the leaders nowhere can be accepted. While public discussion of candidates and their chances naturally revolves about McAdoo-Smith-Underwood, it is of second choices that the leaders speak. The reason therefore is that comparatively few of the leaders believe that either McAdoo, Smith or Underwood can be nominated. They envisage a long-battle between McAdoo and Smith. They see a deadlock at the garden comparable to the Clark-Wilson deadlock at Baltimore, the Cox-McAdoo deadlock at San Francisco and in the end they see a dark horse coming loping from some middle western box stall and get the oats, just as Harding did at Chicago four years ago. It might be pointed out that in other famous Democratic deadlocks one of the leaders has come thru—Wilson at Baltimore for instance, or Cox at San Francisco. But it is also pointed out that issues and conditions which govern this contest which were complete lacking in other conventions—religion and Ku Klux Klanism, wet and dry, the league of nations and a score of lesser issues. This belief in the deattyity of a second choice constitutes the sole stock in hope of the Ralston boosters, the Glass people, the managers, the John W. Davis having led two blushing brides to the altar, the complete personnel of his octuple wife list was not revealed until today, when he remembered an additional six wives or so while being questioned during the hearing on the probation application. 48 Naval Men Honored by Thousands Today at San Pedro LOS ANGELES, June 17.—Upon the unchartered seas from whence there is no homeward cruise departed today the 48 blue-jackets who met death in the U.S. S. Mississippi explosion. While a nation bowed its head in grief, 20,000 sailors and civilians participated in the spectacular and solemn ceremony giving God speed to the dead. In the center of a great living replica of the everlasting cross, all in navy blue, rested the 48 gunners in caskets draped with American flags and half hidden in California's sweetest blossoms. An altar, overlooking a wave-less sea, blue as navy blue, held the coffins. Forming the inside wings of the cross stood 1200 sailors and marines in full field equipment, picked men from the U.S. S. Mississippi, New Mexico, Idaho and Tennessee. Behind stalwart and strong, was an honor guard of 3000 men from the Pacific fleet—another sea of blue. In command stood 12 navy officers in full uniform with crepe flutterting from their swords. Between the altar and huge bank of massive floral tributes, including one from the British navy, there was a small group of men, women and girls—relatives and sweet-hearts of the dead. Just beyond the altar in a splash of bright silver made by their instruments a massed band of 150 men playen," Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and "Lead, Kindly Light." Vice Admiral Henry A. Wiley, acting commander of the fleet, opened the ceremony. Five navy chaplains said prayers. Another blessed the caskets. As three sharp volleys from a firing squad of 155 marines blasted the hush over the multitude, the sweet muted strains of "taps" were heard in the distance. Higher and higher trilled the bluecoated bugler and each note has as an accompaniment the beat of 20,000 hearts. Then the band softly played Chopin's "Funeral March." Two hundred and eighty-eight ball bearers raised the caskets and slowly marched away to start the gunners of the "Old Missy" upon journeys to homes in almost every state. In the distance, where in funeral gray with her guns pointed west, the Mississippi rode a silent sea, all eyes seemed to turn as a farewell salute commending the men had been shot to F.W. Sutter of Gardens after glancing into their mind a rugged aggressive, gifted with force, a man with many qualities of Roosevelt, a motion instead of words, have General Dawes, Wickett secure in your mind a rugged aggressive, gifted with force, a man with many qualities of Roosevelt, a motion instead of words, have General Dawes, Attitude of the people reeled Dawes, as I see it, is that man of big interests, satisfies him any man in public office," said Dr. W. H. Wickett-Fullerton, who had returned from Cleveland, where ended the Republican naconvention as an alternate from California. Chapman of Fullerton, at large, and mentioned place given Dawes, went on a combined business venture trip and will return Barton the last of June. Speaking of Dawes, Wickett secure in your mind a rugged aggressive, gifted with force, a man with many qualities of Roosevelt, a motion instead of words, have General Dawes, Attitude of the people reeled Dawes, as I see it, is that man of big interests, satisfies him any man in public office," said Dr. W.

I believe they will win country at the fall elecdion I am not speaking from san standpoint." Wickett expressed the beast Robert M. LaFollette, from Wisconsin, would an independent on a third ticket. Wickett thinks Senlston of Indiana is the best candidate for the Demo-nomination. He said of man who can take the McAdoo did and come back as a man that will not put away at the Demo-national convention."

Investigating officers reported the men had been shot to death. F. W. Sutter of Gardena found the bodies after glancing into an automobile parked in a lonely, tree-shaded road. One of the murdered men was later identified as F. E. Reynolds of Los Angeles. Mrs. Reynolds said her husband left home yesterday to testify in a case in superior court. A revenge plot as a result of Reynolds' appearance in the court case was advanced by officers as a possible motive for the slaying. J.C.

Metzgar long- CONVENTION HALL, St. Paul, June 17.—Communists won the first major skirmish in their fight to gain control of the Farmer-Labor-Progressive convention, which opened here today, when the credentials committee decided to seat the rels as delegates. It was the first actual test of strength between the Communists and the more conservative Farmer-Labor groups. ST. PAUL, June 17.—A little band of ten men—all admitted dyed-in-the-wool communists—threatened today to disrupt completely the Farmer-Labor-Pregressive third party convention which meets here today in opening session. Three days' work behind closed doors, during which the leaders of the new third party movement that they had succeeded in curbing the Communists, the thorn in the side of this convention, was rendered virtually useless when the radical element, maneuvering for controlling position, pressed vigorously on the floor for full recognition and equal representation with all other groups in the meeting. The communists demand not only official recognition of their party, but complete acceptance of their platform and plans for the immediate formation of a third party headed by an independent ticket of candidates fr woithbine ticket of candidates from which Senator LaPollette, Republican of Wisconsin, would be excluded. Seldom has a political convention entered upon its work with such confusing problems and with so many cross currents of opinion. With the single exception of routine organization, not a major problem was settled when William Mair, temporary chairman, FORD ROBBED OF $100,000 JEWELRY DETROIT, June 17.—Jewels valued at $100,000 have been stolen from the home of Edsel Ford, it became known today. Police say they have no official report of the theft. Alfred J. LePine, Edsel Ford's private secretary, declined today to discuss the reported theft or furnish other details. He explained that before making any statement he must first consult Mr. Ford, who at the time could not be reached. SOUTH PALM-ST BEING REPAIRED South Palm road, one of the principal north and south thorfoares for ranchers, is being torn up by the county superintendents at highways, at the direction of Supervisors W. M. Schumacker and Tom Talbert and graded and oiled. The grading has been practically finished from the Ball-rd north to the city limits and south to the railway crossing. The other quarter mile or so south to Cerritos-ave, now is being graded. The superintendent has just received word that the war department has approved the 60-foot steel bridge over the arm of Newport Bay near the old Orange-co-golf club. Whether the dust nuisance will be ended on dirt roads in the county will be ascertained within a few days, when a carload of calcium chloride in solution will be tried out on various pieces of road including perhaps South-st., near Anaheim, which was graveled east of the city limits recently; the shoulders of Lincoln-blvd for half a mile near Cypress; Birch-st. for quarter of a mile near Bolsa; and Caroline-st. north of Placentia for three quarters of a mile. RESIGNATIONS IN PROTEST TO CRITICISM AND HEAVY EXPENSES Santa Ana C. of C. circles and many other organizations and individual groups were thrown into a turmoil when J. C. Metzgar long-time secretary, suddenly handed in his resignation at a meeting of the board today, and seven of eleven directors followed suit. At the same time Metzgar filed a written protest against the "unjustified expense of maintaining a so-called industrial director and his department," as a partial cause of his quitting. "I further protest and deplore the policy that has permitted this so-called Junior C. of C. to dictate the appointment of three of its members to the directorate of this organization," he added, "as an uncalled for and unjustified reflection on the integrity, efficiency and ability of the men who have served this community as directors of this body." As a result, W. H. Miller, industrial director, was notified his services with the chamber would terminate July 15. Until that time he will sell industrial sites—the chamber is buying. Metzgar, in his protest, declared the department was operating at an expense too heavy for the chamber to bear. The secretary's resignation, he said, would take place immediately, or not later than July 1 if present work required his attention that long. He agreed later to remain to August 1. Directors who resigned were Dr. P. R. Reynolds C. P. Hell, M. B. Wellington, George Dunton, F. L. Purington, and L. G. Swales. Some of these men expressed themselves as being fired of what they believed to be unfair criticisms of the management of the chamber and of the secretary. They too agreed to stay until Aug. 1. That there had been bickering among the board members, themselves, and with the secretary, in matters of policy, and that programs had been blocked and interventions made from many sources, was apparent from the tone of comments that had come to light. "I further protest," Metzgar went on to say in his resignation, "the suggestion made by Director Wellington to consider the sales of the auto camp park and use the proceeds in industrial activism." party, but complete acceptance of their platform and plans for the immediate formation of a third party headed by an independent ticket of candidates fr withholding ticket of candidates from which Senator LaFollette, Republican of Wisconsin, would be excluded. Seldom has a political convention entered upon its work with such confusing problems and with so many cross currents of opinion. With the single exception of routine organization, not a major problem was settled when William Mahoney, temporary chairman, rapped the convention to order. So completely were Mahoney and his followers bound by the Communists that not a single committee was ready to report to the convention at the opening today, althic the major committees had been in session three days. Unless the Communist lines can be broken, it seemed that the convention would be dragged out for the full three day period. The Mahoney claimed the largest fellowship, the communists went into the convention "holding the balance of power" for it was they, and they alone, who threatened to smash the plans that the party managers had so carefully laid, endorse LaFollette and deter the launching of a strongly centralized national third party of farmers and laborers. CONVENTION HALL, St. Paul, June 17.—A rallying call for progressives the nation over to unite in a new third party movement to capture the government for the workers," was sounded in the keynote speech of William H. Mahoney, St. Paul, temporary chairman, to the Farmer-Labor-Progressive convention here today. Although plans have been laid for the convention to endorse Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Republican of Wisconsin for the presidency, Mahoney, aiming to appease the particularly distributed elements, slapped LaFollette vigorously for denouncing the convention for its communicative attachments. Yet, in the same breath, Mahoney made it plain that LaFollette was the only outstanding progressive to whom the convention could turn and hope to land votes in the coming presidential election. Whether the dust nuisance will be ended on dirt roads in the county will be ascertained within a few days, when a carload of calcium chloride in solution will be tried out on various pieces of road including perhaps South-st., near Anaheim, which was graveled east of the city limits recently; the shoulders of Lincoln-bldd for half a mile near Cypress; Birch-st. for quarter of a mile near Bolsa; and Caroline-st. north of Placentia for three quarters of a mile. The solution is sprinkled on the road and tends to draw enough moisture from the atmosphere to keep down the dust for two or three months. Within two weeks two important paving jobs will be started. One is the widening of Grand ave., Buena Park, from Orangethorpe ave., to the county line, a distance of a mile and a quarter. The present 18-foot concrete paving will be widened to 84 feet, five inches thick. The other is Fairview-ave., Costa Mesa, from Newport Bay road north for two miles. This will link up with the proposed county trunk highway via So-Palm-st. The pavement will be concrete, 18 feet wide and seven inches thick in the middle and nine inches at the borders. The grading and graveling of North-st. near Anaheim from the city limits to Placentia-ave. is nearly finished. Broad-st. also will be graded and graveled. ASKS ONLY WHAT WAS PROMISED PARIS, June 17.—"France nourishes no dangerous ambition, but aspires only to obtain payment of reparations and guarantees for security which were solemnly promised to her," said President Denmergue in his first message to parliament this afternoon. The message on government policy was read simultaneously in the chamber of deputies and senate shortly after 3 o'clock. "France's problems would be easy to solve," continued the president. "If there were a joint airspace of peace everywhere it is not France's fault that conditions are what they are." 350 VISIT LOCAL PACKING HOUSES They didn't put it that way, but the members of the National Retail Growers' Assn., who left their conference at Los Angeles today and flocked to two of the local packing houses, had plenty of Olus and Ahs when they saw the way orange packing was carried on here. Many of them never dreamed that the process was so efficient or elaborate. Instead of around 150 coming, the number was approximately 750, and Manager W. H. Schuurman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. at his East Center-st house and G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn.'s work kept busy entertaining them. They were plied with orange juice taken from the extractors, and at the latter house a picture of them was taken to show to their friends "back West." East, South and North. They were all registered, also. The visitors apparently were from every quarter of the Union. If a big supply of juice hadn't been made up in advance, the two houses would have been in a quandary. The visitors after touring the counties will return by way of Whittier. They are traveling in big buses, the guests of the advertising department of The California Fruit Growers' Exchange.
