ELKS WILL GIVE PATRIOTIC PLAY Civil War vets and disabled World War men side by side with the young people of the schools will see tomorrow afternoon on the panorama of the Civil War unfolded on the stage when the opening performance of the "Greater American" under the auspices of the local lodge of Elks be given at the high school auditorium. The play is for the benevolent local Elks' charities. Justice is to getting their impressions of the great civil struggle only from the printed page or moving picture, the young folks tomorrow will for the first time witness its depletion on the "legitimate" stage. The matinee opens at 2:00 o'clock and only a nominal fee will be asked, while the veterans will be free guests. The play has been given successfully on many stages, and, unless it is repeated with the same cast, this will be the only opportunity the public will have to see it within many miles of Anaheim, according to Manager Wendel Wilson. The play is said to be a remarkably moving spectacle. Eight Elks and an Anaheim girl comprise most of the cast. ANOTHER TRIAL NO POMP AT FUNERAL OF CALVIN WASHINGTON, July 9.—With simple ceremonies no different than those which would take place in any other American home, except for the presence of scores of government officials and the diplomatic representatives of foreign nations, the President and Mrs. Coolidge this evening poured out the grief of their hearts at the bier of their youngest son, Calvin Coolidge, Jr. In the historic, high ceilinged East room of the White House, heavy with the scent of lovely blossoms, expressive of the sympathy of America and the world for his father and mother in their bereavement, the funeral service took place at 4 o'clock. All invited guests were present, standing with bowed heads when Mrs. Coolidge, veiled and weeping softly, entered leaning heavily on the arm of her husband. The president looked straight ahead, his lips tight, his face drawn, striving to conceal the pain that he has suffered since the loss of his boy. Behind came their son, John, and the military and naval aides attached to the executive mansion. WASHINGTON, July 9.—In the flower-filled East Room of the White House, watched over by his sailor chums from the yacht Mayflower, Calvin Coolidge, Jr., slept for the last time today. Tonight at 9 o'clock the 15-year-old son of the president, whose death has saddened the national capital and called forth deep grief and sympathy from a whole nation, will begin the long journey, first to the scenes of his childhood at Northampton, Mass., and then to the little hillside cemetery among the rugged Vermont hills where he will sleep forever among his ancestors. Simple funeral services will be held at the White House at 4 o'clock this afternoon. There will be no sermon, in keeping with the desire of the President and Mrs. Coolidge to avoid all formal orife. TONIGHT Fullerton Endorses Joint Power Plant But Not So Keen for Water Fullerton trustees last night agreed to meet in a joint session with Anaheim council here tonight to discuss the advisability of a joint electric power plant for the two cities, but looked unfavorably upon the proposal for a joint water system. The action for the joint meeting was taken following the report of Paul D. Pratt, acting city engineer, on conferences with J. W. Price, Anaheim city manager. W. J. Carmichael, trustee highly commended Anaheim for the step, and the Board was unanimous that it was desirable to get together with the Anaheim board and talk things over. Mayor Crooke said that Anaheim had stolen Fullerton's thought and developed it, and that while Fullerton had been talking, Anaheim had been working. The board regarded the interests of Fullerton and Anaheim along this line identical, and that that a joint power plant, if possible, would be the thing, and Mayor Crooke suggested that Fullerton and Anaheim instead of just a joint plant between them, might join in a county-wide move for a joint plant for Orange-co. Water and sewer connections for Fullerton's industrial section were discussed, but no definite action taken. Pratt said that Fullerton was figuring with La Habra and Buena Park on a proposal that if put thru would give relief to all Fullerton's west side. The clean-up of back yards and back alleys was discussed, and the matter referred to the fire and health committees with power to call on police. Election returns for the annexation of a strip on the south side were canvassed and the proposition declared approved. Band concerts were announced at the city park each Friday night, beginning this week. A resolution of condolence was ordered sent to President Coolidge because of the death of his son. The Board was thrown into confusion when Carmichael called for a showdown on the opening of the much-mooted Star-buck rd., which has been a bone fist attack at the Fullerton the veterans will be free guests. The play has been given successfully on many stages, and, unless it is repeated with the same cast, this will be the only opportunity the public will have to see it within many miles of Anaheim, according to Manager Wendel Wilson. The play is said to be a remarkably moving spectacle. Eight Elks and an Anaheim girl comprise most of the cast. ANOTHER TRIAL DENIED HARDEBECK With his partner, O. C. Hardebek, sentenced to one to ten years in state prison on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses in connection with sale of stock of the Keen Hat Stores, Inc., Glenn B. Churchin, who was convicted with Hardebek on the same charge, was today awaiting action on his application for probation. Both applied for probation. Judge Williams promptly denied the application of Hardebek. He took the application of Churchill under advisement. Hardebek asked for a new trial which was denied. Execution of the sentence was stayed until Friday to allow Attorney Morgan Marmaduke to make another move to free Hardebek. ST. LOUIS QUARTET IN CONCERT HERE The Western Four quartet of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, will give a secular concert tonight in the Sunday school hall of the Lutheran church, corner Emily and Chartres-sts, under the auspices of the Luther League. The quartet is composed of California men. These young men are travelers in their home state now, after an extended concert tour of the middle west. The work of the Western Four has not only received commendation in Lutheran circles but has excited general comment wherever they have given a concert. As soloist, the Western Four brings Mr. Adolph Gerbhardt, a talented organist and pianist of New York, who has pleased many audiences of the east and middle west. Try a Classified Ad for results. Salesman—Plain Dealer Class Ad. Simple funeral services will be held at the White House at 4 o'clock this afternoon. There will be no sermon, in keeping with the desire of the President and Mrs. Coallidge to avoid all formal or official ceremonies. A short prayer will be offered by the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational church of Washington, followed by the singing of one of the boy's favorite hymns and the reading of the congregational funeral ritual. Intimate friends of the presidential family, members of the cabinet, senators and congressmen and members of the diplomatic corps, have been advised of the hour of the funeral and informed that 'should attendance cause them no inconvenience the president would be deeply honored." Only three members of the cabinet are in the city—Secretary of War Weeks, who has assisted the president in making the funeral arrangements; Secretary of the Interior Work and Postmaster General New, Secretary of State Hughes, who is in New York, and Secretary of Labor Davis, who is in Chicago, are expected to join the funeral party in Northampton tomorrow morning. Among the official guests will also be 12 ranking officers of both the army and navy and the chiefs of the independent government establishments in Washington. Because of the general expressions of sympathy throughout the capital, the president will permit the public to gather if they desire, in the north grounds of the executive mansion, facing on Pennsylvania-ave. Only invited guests, however, will be admitted to the White House and the body will not formally lie in state, although intimate friends will be permitted to pay their last respects. The ceremonies at the White (Continued on Page Six) nexition of a strip on the south side were canvassed and the proposition declared approved. Band concerts were announced at the city park each Friday night, beginning this week. A resolution of condolence was ordered sent to President Coolidge because of the death of his son. The Board was thrown into confusion when Carmichael called for a showdown on the opening of the much-mooted Starbuck rd., which has been a bone of contention at the Fullerton Board meetings for almost a decade. Carmichael declared that the time for "passing the buck" had passed, and demanded that the board either grant the measure or kill it. The street committee had recommended that a special committee composed of south sliders be appointed to get together on one road, either Maple-ave, or Starbuck rd., and then report to the Board their findings, and the board act as if saw fit. A compromise was finally effected between Carmichael and the members of the committee whereby Carmichael and the street committee would consider the matter for another week, and then a showdown would be staged at the next meeting. 500-DAY SENTENCE M. Montoya and Manuel Carrion, both of Los Angeles, were arrested late yesterday at Placeia by deputy sheriffs and arranged before Judge Hart of Fullerton on charges of possession of liquor.

FINE TIMBER IN PATH OF FLAMES OAKLAND, July 9.—One life was lost and property damage of more than $300,000 was caused by a fire early today which wiped out the business district of Oakley, four miles east of Antioch, Contra Costa-co. Several hours after the flames were extinguished, persons working in the ruins of the $150,000 Oakley hotel found the charred body of a boy, identified as that of Peter Barros, 16. Apparently the boy was trapped while asleep. KERNVILLE, July 9. — More than 400 men, 200 of them conscripted early today when the monster conflagration broke bounds and rushed toward Kane Springs, were concentrating their efforts on the west side of a blaze which is advancing on a ten-mile front into some of the finest redwood timber in California in the Sequoia National Forest.

The stars and stripes were shaking from the officials, flagstaff during most of the day and when the three finals had been completed the United States team had run up 135 points for its total. Finland trailed with 73, and Great Britain was third with 34½ points. American athletes won two first places out of the three finals which were contested, Jackson V. Scholz, New York A.C., winning the 200 meters dash, and Daniel Kinsey, Illinois, taking the final of the 10 metre hurdle. Willie Ritola, Finland, won the steeplechase in the new Olympic record time of 9:33 3-5. COLOMBES STADIUM, France, July 9—Jackson V. Scholz, of the New York A.C., won the final heat of the 200 metre dash in the Olympic games today, with Charles Paddock, Los Angeles, second. Liddell, Great Britain, was third, George Hill, Univ. of Penn., fourth; Bayes Norton, Yale, fifth; and Harold Abrahams Great Britain, sixth. Scholz time was 21 3-5. All four American sprinters obtained revenge upon Harold Abrahams, the British winner of the 100-metre dash on Monday, when they finished in front of him in the final of the 200-metre dash, with Liddell, the Scotchman, in third place. The race was a battle between Scholz and Paddock, holder of the world's record of 21 1-5 seconds for the distance. Paddock broke in front and the Californian and Scholz dominated the race from the start, and Scholz was within 2-5 of a second of the record when he reached the tape inches ahead of Paddock. Abrahams suffered a disastrous defeat. The Englishman got away badly and was never better than fourth. With 50 metres to go, he was in this position but he could not stand the pace and fell behind. Liddell was a foot behind Paddock and George Hill, Penn., beat out Bayes Norton, Yale, for fours place. Ralph Spearow, Oregon, Lee Holliswood, J.K. H. A. GADDIN QUITS AT CYPRESS H. A.

KERNVILLE, July 9. — More than 400 men, 200 of them conscripted early today when the monster conflagration broke bounds and rushed toward Kane Springs, were concentrating their efforts on the west side of a blaze which is advancing on a ten-mile front into some of the finest redwood timber in California in the Sequoia National Forest. The huge forest fire which has defied all efforts to quench it was the largest blaze that has ever been fought in this district and officials in charge of the work frankly declared that should the wind advance this afternoon toward the west, nothing could stop it. The smouldering forests were believed to be controlled late yesterday when a heavy wind fanned it to renewed vigor and representatives of the United States forestry service hurriedly impressed 200 freshmen into service in an effort to stem its advance. Thousands of giant Sequoias have already been reduced to ashes and should the blaze cross to the west of Kane Springs today small hope is held for the massive groves standing in that vicinity. There have been no casualties to date, it was announced and no towns are endangered. MR.

Tech., all qualified for the final of the pole vault at 12 feet. Others to qualify were Pickard, Canada; Henrjean, Belgium, and Peterson, Denmark. Spearow had difficulty in clearing the bar at 12 feet, but made it on his final try. The final of the 110-metre hurdle race developed a great struggle between Kinsey of the United States and Atkinson of South Africa, Kinsey winning by inches in a driving finish. Hal Guthrie had third place clinches to within 25 yards of the tape, when he got badly mixed up in the last two barriers and fell back rapidly, only to be disqualified for knocking over three hurdles. Christlenson was a good third, two feet behind the leaders. Carl (Continued on Page Slx) THIRD CANDIDATE: FOR FINLEY POINT A third candidate for the on the board of supervisors held by S. H.

Davis will make active campaign BALLOT Underwood Only Serious Runnerup when McAdoo and Smith Withdraw NEW YORK, July 9.—John W. Davis will make active campaign for the presidency. There will be no "front porch" tactics in his fight to carry the Democratic party to victory in November. The nominee of the longest Democratic national convention in history made this clear late today when he issued a formal statement, declaring himself the standard bearer of "liberal principles." There must be no compromise with reaction, the statement said: Liberal principles must and can prevail. The statement issued an invitation to the "great body of liberal independent and progressive thought" and "all those who do not wish their government to stand still in the midst of a changing world" to rally to the Democratic party. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 9.—John W. Davis, of West Virginia and New York, was nominated for the presidency by the Democratic national convention this afternoon. His nomination was accomplished on the 103rd ballot, ending the most extended deadlock that ever existed in any major political convention. It came only four ballots after the withdrawal of the deadlocking pair, McAdoo and Smith. The West Virginian was really challenged seriously by but one candidate following the McAdoo-Smith retirement—Senator Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama. They had a short brush for a few ballots but the great secondary strength that the West Virginian has always had in the convention came to the surface rapidly when called for and Underwood was easily distanced. The band wagon for Davis started with the 103rd ballot. As the roll call proceeded down the line of states the Davis strength began to become more and more apparent. State after state fell into line until at the end he had a majority—the first time in 103 ballots that any candidate ever had crossed the majority line. From that point the convention became a procession of state chairmen seeking to change votes that had been cast against the West Virginian. George Brennan, the Illinois boss, sat with a pencil and paper as the roll call proceeded. He had on all the land they and have added consider more acreage to what they including two or three city and some land outside. obtained 15 signatures from city owners to the agree-providing that if land was leasing would be on the notion that only one well to sand stratum of each five be drilled.

Phone 23-J. the roll call proceeded down the line of states the Davis strength began to become more and more apparent. State after state fell into line until at the end he had a majority—the first time in 103 hallots that any candidate ever had crossed the majority line. From that point the convention became a procession of state chairmen seeking to change votes that had been cast against the West Virginian. George Brennan, the Illinois boss, sat with a pencil and paper as the roll call proceeded. He had thrown the old Smith following to Underwood for three ballots—in return for the aid and support Underwood had given the anti-klan faction in the convention. Irennan and his alces had voted for Underwood on these ballots while the old McAdoo forces, following the natural line of division, produced by more than two weeks of hatred and bitterness, went ahead and piled up a huge total for Davis. Brennan only smiled. He had been favorable to Davis all the time. Just as soon as the majority point was reached, Brennan gave the sign himself. He rose and bellowed over the heads of a dozen state chairmen who were seeking to change their votes: "Illinois wants to change her vote." He got the recognition he demanded at last and cast Illinois' votes for Davis. California followed. Then Franklin D. Roosevelt, the smiling manager of Gov. Smith, raised himself on his crippled legs and changed New York's vote so as to give 50 for Davis. Gov. Fields of Kentucky, Swanson of Virginia, Gov. Morrison of North Carolina and Ed H. Moore of Ohio, then successively got the recognition of the chair and charged the votes of their respective states. While this was going on the chairman of the Iowa delegation was yelling for recognition. He finally got it and withdrew the name of Meredith—ahead of some of the changes—and quite in sufficient time to hop aboard the band wagon. Tom Taggart of Indiana then moved that—the nomination of Davis be made by acclamation. Amid a veritable inferno of (Continued on Page Two)
