"DAUGHTERS OF PLEASURE" ALL STAR CAST Marie Prevost — Monte Blue — Clara Bow Wilfred Lucas WHAT'S YOUR DAUGHTER DOING? Where are the daughters of today drifting? Whose fault is it when tragedy stalks into the home? See this without fail. ROYAL WELCOME FOR BRITISH TARS SAN FRANCISCO, July S.—San Francisco began a round of entertainment today for the officers and crew of the British fleet which is in San Francisco on a four days' visit, the first time in 50 years England's men of war have entered a continental port of the United States. The majestic bulk of H. M. S. Hood, largest warship afloat, was a source of neyer-ending wonder to the tens of thousands of residents and visitors from all parts of the state that have thronged the water front since it slid thru the Golden Gate. The entrance of the Armada of seven vessels into the bay was the signal for one of the most impressive welcomes ever given a foreign power in California. Swarms of airplanes circled over the vessels and literally hundreds of yachts, motor boats, merchantmen and barges, most of them gaily decorated, welcomed the visitors. SENSATIONAL FILM AT UNITED THEATRE A sensational modern social condition will be revealed at the United theatre for the next three days when "Daughters of Pleasure" will be shown. It is a picture that makes you think while it entails you. It has a moral as all good and worth while plays should have. It deals with the life in many an American home today, the story of people who sought the sparkle of pleasure and found in it the gleam from a tear. The story deals with the experiences of an oil boom. Their reactions to their new stations in life and the unexpected and thrilling situations which result from it, constitute one of the most dynamic photodramas ever brought to the screen. The supporting cast is headed by Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Clara Bow and Wilfred Lucas. PUBLIC HELPING PACKING HOUSES ELKS GIVE PLAY THURS & FRIDAY "The Greater American," a film drama by Ralph Thomas Kettering and for which Abraham Lincoln, in the stirring days of his presidency for the Union which he loved so dearly, is the leading character, is the plot which Anselm Elks will present at the auditorium for three performances under the direction of stage management of Victor Dooley and Wendell Wilson, who known in So. Calif., as members of the Smith-King Players for three seasons in Pagadena. They now rehearsing a capable cast of Elks and assisting professionals and amateurs, and indications say that the show will be the best which the local Elks have ever given. Scenes from the days of '61-'65, with the great enchantment of the dominant figure, form the principal acts of the drama which has its prologue and epilogue laid in the year 1917 which the men of this country were responding again to the call to the colors service to their fellow men. There is a pretty love story woven through the drama which presents some of the most vital episodes of the day of civil war, introducing number of historic persons such as Lincoln, Grant, Stanton, Joel Hay and others. Lincoln's greetlove for the Union which he served so faithfully and so well kindly huaor, his sincerity of pose are well illustrated, and these scenes are skillfully handled playwright and director. The matinee Thursday afternoon, July 10th is for children only, while the grownups will given their chance on Thursday and Friday nights, July 10th at 11th. U.-S. WINNER IN TWO MORE OLYMPIC FINAL (Continuer from Page One) a source of neyer-ending wonder to the tens of thousands of residents and visitors from all parts of the state that have thronged the water front since it slid thru the Golden Gate. The entrance of the Armada of seven vessels into the bay was the signal for one of the most impressive welcomes ever given a foreign power in California. Swarms of airplanes circled over the vessels and literally hundreds of yachts, motor boats, merchantmen and barges, most of them gaily decorated, welcomed the visitors with a deafening tooting of sirens. Both banks of the harbor were alive with dense throngs of people, as to the accompaniment of salvos from the guns of the American forts, England's fleet nosed into the harbor, which will be its first and only stop in the United States on its round the world trip. The visiting vessels will be thrown open for inspection by the general public, it was announced by Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick field, commander of the fleet, during their visit. The most spectacular entertainment in prospect for the visiting enlisted men will be the monster dances in the municipal auditorium tomorrow night at which approximately 10,000 British and American tars will be guests of the city. A reception in the city hall by the mayor and a citizen's committee to Admiral Field and the British senior officers and banquet given to the visitors tonight by the Chamber of Commerce, later followed by entertainment of 1000 petty officers at a local theatre as guests of Admiral Robison, commander in chief of the American fleet, are outstanding events on today's program. MUST STAND TOGETHER ON BOULDER DAM PLAN (Continuer from Page One) The following organizations had endorsed it: The National Assn. of Really Boards, National Federation of Women's Clubs, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Federation of Labor, the Spanish War Veterans and the American Legion. Swing mentioned North Carolina as one of the states which, by power development, had diverted from New England some of the manufacturing activity centered there. "Definite and substantial aid" to Orange-co harbor in the near future was certain, partly because of the development which would find outlet through the harbor, said the speaker. Secretary Wilbur of the navy department, and one of his admirals, had assured Swing of their support of the project. The attitude of two party leaders, as shown in letters to him, was given by Swing as an indication of the party's attitude in general. The main objection as PUBLIC HELPING PACKING HOUSES Anaheim is helping wonderfully to conserve electric energy for the benefit of the packing houses. Manager W.H. Schurman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n declared today. His orangization here purchases its power from the city and not from the Edison Co. directly. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n's house was closed Monday. The closing down Friday and Saturday, which was general among the packing houses, has helped matters materially. District Manager Hutchinson of the Fullerton district today said that the new steam plant of the Edison Co. at Long Beach would be completed in November, and with the tunnel between Huntington and Florence lakes scheduled to be opened by Jan. 1, would solve the problem of power for So. Calif. If the plan is finished as much in advance of schedule as the tunnel may be, it will be done before Sept. 1. No such prosecution has yet been made, however. FATHER STANDS BY SUSPECTED SLAYER BOISE, Idaho, July 8.—Authorities today continued to grill E. Rohlfring, Jr., held in connection with the murder of Paraday Mills, well-to-do Seattle man, whose body was found on the Mountain Home-rd near here June 29, with a bullet hole in the head. Standing by the young man is E. Rohlfring, sr., of Portland, who declares his son is not guilty. He said he was certain in his own mind the shooting was an accident. Young Rohlfring is said to have told authorities that Mills was shot when he (Rohlfring) accidentally stumbled out of their car to hunt rabbits. He said he left the body and went to Mountain Home to tell of the shooting but got "cold feet" and returned to the scene. Seeing a large crowd of people there he drove past. He said he intended to come to Boise but that his nerve again failed him and that he spent the night at a ranch. He was arrested next day on suspicion and has been in jail since. Mrs. Thomas Gray of The Dalles, Ore., daughter of the vicinity deals with the experiences of an oil boom. Their reactions to their new stations in life and the unexpected and thrilling situations which result from it constitute one of the most dynamic photodramas ever brought to the screen. The prevailing cast is headed by Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Clara Bow and Wilfred Lucas. U.S. WINNER IN TWO MORE OLYMPIC FINALS (Continuer from Page One) broad jump with a leap of 24 feet six inches. The Americans not only won these two events in decisive fashion, but scored heavily in point. Following Houser in the show put, were Glenn Hartraft of Land Stanford and Ralph Hills Prineot. Torpo of Finland would fourth out Norman Anderson So. Calif., nosed out Niklander Finland for fifth place. This added 21 points to the American total. The other four went to Land. Ned Gourdin, former Harvest athlete, finished behind Hubbard in the broad jump, giving America 15 points in that event. The other places went: this Hansen of Norway; fourth, Tuusla of Finland; fifth, Withelm of France; sixth, Mackintosh of England. At the end of the nine even which have been decided, United States point total was nearly double that of the Finn who were second with 64. Earth land followed with 27½ and then came Schweden with 14½; France with 9½; Hungary with 7½; Switzerland with 5 and New Zealand with Norway with four equal. Hubbard's winning jump was his last. He sprained his ankle and was forced to retire. But 24 feet, six inches, was better than any of the others. Gourdin distance was 23 feet 11 inches, inch longer than Hansen could. All four of the American stars in 200 metre dash qualified today for the semi-final heats, altho Harold Abrahams, British flyer, continued to dominate things when he defeated Charles Paddocke in the tenth hour Bayes Norton, Yale, George H. Pennsylvania; Jackson V. Scholz New York A.C.'s preliminary heats, and Paddocke qualified. The Prince of Wales was among the spectators in the stadium. Prince was escorted upon field by Olympic games officials and hobbled with a number of athletes near the start post of the 200 metre dash. Norton won the 200 preliminary heat in 21·4·5 seconds Scholz won the sixth heat in 2·5 seconds. The Prince of Wales moved down to the finishing line and was no longer there after Abbahns' arrival. "Definite and substantial aid to Orange-co harbor in the near future was certain, partly because of the development which would find outlet thru the harbor, said the speaker. Secretary Wilbur of the navy department, and one of his admirals, had assured Swing of their support of the project. The attitude of two party leaders, as shown in letters to him, was given by Swing as an indication of the party's attitude in general. The main objection as yet was that the northern and southern tiers of states were not agreed on the Colorado river compact, one of the two averred. Senator McNary of Oregon finally admitted that Swing's bill covered different ground from that of McNary's for power development and was too huge to be embraced in it. A rising vote of thanks was given the congressman for his speech on motion of Dave Jesurun. LOUIS LONG DEAD SANTA BARBARA, July 8.—Louis H. Long, prominent in railroad circles for 40 years and one of the pioneer railway engineers of the west, died here today. Long is noted as the director of the construction of the S. P. system from Benson, Ariz., to Tehle, which is now being extended into Mexico City on plans formulated by Long. He is survived by his widow, Ermentine (Poole) Long, formerly of San Francisco, a daughter and two sisters. $100 REWARD FOR ARREST OF VANDAL In the interest of public decency, the Ku Klux Klan will pay a reward of $100 for information leading to the discovery of the scoundrel who wrote the letters K. K. K. on the wall of St. Boniface Catholic church and squirted paint thrue the keyhole. Rev. Leon L. Myers, pastor of the First Christian church and a klan leader, said in this connection: "Allow me to say in behalf of the order that if the acts referred to actually occurred and it can be determined that they were done by a member of the Ku Klux Klan, such member will be banished from membership and the order will pay the $100 reward for his conviction." Three Americans qualified for the finals in the 110 metre hurdle race. H. Guthrie of Ohio, winnih his heat in 15 1-5 seconds at Dan Kinsey, Illinois, taking in 15 2-5 seconds. P. P. Johnson, Illinois, failed qualify in this heat, as Peter of Sweden took second place.

Atkinson, South Africa, second in the heat, won by Guthle, qualified for the final. Rilus Dolitis Butler Colle failed to qualify in the first ten heat in the 5000 metre run, when he finished seventh. Ructas Finland won with Okasaki Japan second. The time was minutes 22 1 5 seconds. The great Finnish runner, Natal started in the second heat the 5000 metres and won as pleased. FISHING BOAT LOS LOS ANGELES, July 8. Rammed by the Angellina, her ship, the fishing vessel M Harbor, sank 10 miles off Po Loma, endangering the lives of men and with a loss of seven thousand dollars worth of fish gear, according to a report to Pedro shipping officials today. Bearing the crew of the M Harbor, rescued from the sea, Angellina limbed into port to port the accident. THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF.

LONDON, July 8.—Wimbledon is over. For a year it will live only in the memory of those who witnessed it. What will live long in my memory was the match for the singles title, between two of my countrymen—Borotra and LaCorte. It was the most thrilling and spectacular match I ever witnessed. Borotra was brilliant and brave. He outspred, outplayed La Corte. Borotra was like a tornado. His request did not make a movement to which the ball did not respond, no direction to which the ball was not oblident. Borotra's service, when he crenches, then rises to his full six feet, makes him a cat-pult (capable of propelling the ball with cannon like speed). His backhand strokes were more powerful than his forehand. He prefers to make devastating drives with his backhand and position strokes for reaching the net with his forehand. Overhead I think Borotra is the hardest hitter there is. La Corte is only a step behind Borotra. He is only 20; his day may yet come. Baseball Today AMERICAN LEAGUE First game: Chicago 200 106 010—10 13 0 New York 000 200 000—2 8 2 Thurston and Cromie; Bush, Markle, Gaston and Echang. Detroit-Washington first game postpened, rain. Detroit at Washington, both games postponed, rain. At Philadelphia, 7 innings, called, rain: Philadelphia 000 003 1—4 6 0 SARGUM PROUTINGS The Pacific Coast league race is getting all steamed up again. The Seals ran into an awful slump last week and the Seattle tribe kept up their mad rush which resulted in the sun setting in the old Pacific Sunday evening with the Seals and Indians on a 50-50 basis in the per cent column. Seattle is baseball wild as a result of the way its team is fighting for the lead. Red Killifer can have the town clock or any other piece of the city furniture he desires if he leads his band of Indians to a pennant. The brick-top has a wonderful team and it seems that he is inspiring them to great effort, something that he failed to do with Los Angeles while he was manager of the Angels. The Seals are reported to have one weakness, the pitching staff, but last week their strongest department gave away their hitting ability. The Seals found the Beaver pitchers to have their numbers. Their big bags were useless. The Seals have a habit of having at least one bad slump during the season and the time was ripe for last week's slump. They will right about face in the near future, and Red Killifer will do mighty well if he keeps his Indians traveling at anything like their present elp. It so happens that the two teams will meet on the Seattle battlegrounds this week and the series promises to rival the Vernon-Los Angeles series that determined the league winner a few years back. Seattle attendance records are bound to be shattered. The 6 to 2 drubbing that Seattle handed our Angels last week, settled the Angel band firmly in the cellar position. Vernon just barely hangs on to fourth place. Another loss by the Tigers will place her in the last division. Our southern entries are not looking any better than they did last sea- DISAPPOINTED AND SHOWING MONDAY COLOMBES STADIUM, FRI July 8.—Althe Ame Olympic athletes are today lead for the title, due to record breaking stunts yestedo boys from across the seas to face the hardest propositionthe history of the Olympics. The Ame rican continger disappointed that their boy not roll up a much bigger score yesterday. Inability this was due to the fact Charley Paddock failed to through in the 100 metres event being won by Abrahams, the Englishman, instead of getting the 15 points had been conceded the Ame in this event, the Yankees scored only 11. The Ame team also lost four through the disqualification Charley Brockins of Iowa University in the 400 yard untimed which event he finished seeThere was some disatisfaction over the decision disqualifying. Eight events are on the for today. They are: Trial heats in the 110 hurdles. Finals in the broad jump. Trials in the 200 metres run. Finals in the shot put. Finals in the 800 meter final. Senior finals in the 110 hurdles. Trials in the 5000 metres. Trials in the 200 metres run. The Americans believe they will run up a big scoopthe shot put, feeling sure Hills, Harrartt and Houstr have been hurling the missilethe 50 foot mark in practiceAnderson, who has been "over top" will add "Yankee's score." Their only petition will be Porhola Turp, Finna, who have not anywhere near the American in practice.

Englowed with 27½ and then Newden with 14½ France; Hungary with 7½; Ireland with 5 and New Zealand with four each. Gourdin's winning jump was set. He sprained his ankle forced to retire. But the first six inches, was better than of the others. Gourdin's knee was 23 feet 11 inches, one meter than Hansen could do, four of the American start the 200 metre dash qualifying for the semi-finals Holtharold Abrahams, the flyer, continued to dominating when he defended a Paddock in the tenth heat.

Louis ...28 45.384 Washington is still heading the American league, but her margin is very slight. The Yanks are back knocking at the entrance of the select position. Babe Ruth played a big part in the Yanks' showing last week. His big stock was responsible for four circuit drives and numerous other hits. The Babe has 22 home runs to his credit now. Detroit, St. Louis and Chicago are bunched closely near New York. Either of these three teams by a spur are in a position to pass the leaders. The Giants are enjoyipg a comfortable lead. They are not out of danger but they have a margin to work on. The Cubs are the most persistent team going. They have played steadily all season and are always in a position to worry the Giants. The wrestling card at the Phil-harmonic auditorium Wednesday is getting more publicity than any previous show of the kind. The Great Pole, Zbyszko, is responsible for most of this comment. The Pole is not an ordinary bone twister but is an educated gentleman, being a graduate of three colleges and an accomplished musician. Wrestlers are not all roughnecks by any means. Ed Lewis, the king of them all, is a college man. Joe Stecher, Earl Caddock and many others of the world's best learned their science in the higher branches of learning. For most part wrestlers are dandy fellows. Where would you find a regular fellow than Roy Maybee? Roy, by the way, does not like to be called Kid. He says Kid is a fighter's prefix and also that he is far-from being a kid. Orlando Miller is well liked by those who know him and started his wrestling career in high school. Ad Santel is well educated and a real gentleman. They say that Zbyszko is 56 years old. In what other line of sport could a man stand up under and be able to give as good an account of himself? The physical condition of the Pole today speaks well for the game. He must have lived very clean and upright life to be able to do the things that he is capable of at this advanced age. A fighter is old at 30; so are track men and most all other of the more active sports. Yet here is a near champion at one trial in the 5600 metres trials in the 200 metres. The Americans believe they will run up a big score the shot put, feeling sure Hills, Hartranft and Houser have been hurling the missile the 5 foot mark in practice Anderson, who has been "over the top" will add to Yankees' score. Their only petition will be Porhola Turp, Finnis, who have not anywhere near the American in practice. Officials of the American have received an invitation team of stars to tour Germany Czecho-Slovakia and Austria the Olympic games, compete with the athletes of those tribes. The invitation was extended Hans Bororowik, editor of Berlin Sportblatt, former tiger of the German Athleticslon who made a special trip Berlin to conclude arranger He promised the American mittee that all expenses were paid and that huge, enthralling friends would need the games. Because mike the athletes are competing meet in England on July 1st later going to Dublin the Irish Olympics it is due if many of the athletes will offer to compete in centre rope.

All are within a few pounds of weight and do not have to pay much attention to reducing. I had some of the extra boxers climbing trees at Rosquencourt to strengthen their arm muscles. It brought back memories of boyhood. The Americans worked out Monday before Lord Douglas Clydesdale, British middleweight champion, who was a friend of Eddie Eagans at Oxford. Eagan boxed several fast rounds with Mulholland. It was the best workout since we left the United States. AGREE TO PROCCED WITH SANITARIUM County Supervisor Leon Whitsett returned yesterday from a conference of supervisors of Orange, Riverside and Imperial at Riverside and announced that the tentative plans and specifications for the tri-counties tuberculosis sanitarium would be laid before the supervisors of the three counties in August. The supervisors will work out the financial side of the enterprise this month while shaping the budget, it was said. It was agreed to proceed with the sanitarium and a decision was reached to purchase the Dr. Coffman ranch near Beaumont as a site for the sanitarium. Riverside-co was authorized to secure the services of an architect to prepare tentative plans for consideration by the supervisors in August. Try a Classified Ad for results.

There are going to be a lot of people disappointed when their favorite does not act up to their expectations and we will hear some cry fake. It was ever thus and will continue to be. LETTER TO EDITOR The Plain Dealer: The church announced in a recent issue of your paper as being formed under the leadership of Mrs. Annie C. Bill by a dissenting majority of the mother church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, is in fact nothing new. Under slightly different names it has been advertised intermittently over 10 years. Mrs. Bill, who organized it, withdrew from the mother church of Christian Science in 1910, while Mrs. Eddy was still active in the Christian Science movement. John V. Dittimore, who is associated with Mrs. Bill in this movement, has been estranged from the church formed by Mrs. Eddy several years, although he did not formally withdraw from it until recently. The announcement concerning this movement in which Mr. Dittimore has now joined gave the impression that there had just been a split in the mother church. Nothing of the sort has occurred. Yours very truly, DOUGLAS L. EDMONDS, Christian Science Committee on Publication. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium. Try a Classified Ad for results.

SAPPOINTED AT SHOWING MONDAY COLOMBES STADIUM, France, S.—Althe the American athlete are today in the for the title, due to their hard breaking stunts yesterday, awards of the game b-love that boys from across the sea have race the hardest proposition in history of the Olympics. The American contingent is appointed that their boys did roll up a much bigger point yesterday. Inability to do was due to the fact that Arley Paddock failed to come through in the 100 metre dash, event being won by Harold Ahams, the Englishman. Inal of getting the 18 points that been conceded the Americans this event, the Yankee runscored only 11. The Ameriteam also lost four points though the disqualification of Arley Brockins of Iowa University in the 400 yard hurdles, in which event he finished second. There was some dissatisfaction over the decision disqualifying bokins. Right events are on the card today. They are: trials in the broad jump. trials in the 200 metre run. trials in the shot put. trials in the 800 metre run. finals in the 110 metre dies. trials in the 5000 metres. trials in the 200 metres.

LOS ANGELES PRODUCE LOS ANGELES, July 8.—Butter 44% eggs extras 34%; case LIFE IN "MIAMI" Scene from MIAMI Distributed by Hobkinson. During the filming of "Miami," the great society drama now playing at the California Betty Compson set a pace that few stars will try to match. The opening scenes called for Betty to ride an aquapane. Betty can't swim a stroke. Having been one of the original Hollywood "bathing beauties," she was never allowed to go near the water. Obviously, the only thing to do was to engage a double. This was done, but Betty was far from satisfied with the result. Finally she announced that she would play the whole episode herself and take the desperate chance of being drowned or attacked by sharks which not infrequently find their way into Biscayne Bay. Betty mounted the aquapane, 30 feet of line were payed, and a life-saver was hidden in the speed boat so that he might attempt to save her in case of accident. Needless to say, Betty went through with it. She clung on with both hands at first, then with only one hand, and she acted.
