S., July 10. A tale of piracy on the high seas was brought here today by the French steamship Mulhouse. According to officers and crew when the vessel was 15 miles off the New Jersey coast she was boarded by a gang of armed pirates from a big motor boat who took charge of the ship and locked the crew in the hold. The pirates remained aboard about a week, during which they transferred a cargo of liquors valued at a half million dollars to liquor-schooners in the vicinity.

COLOMBES STADIUM, France, July 10—This was Paavo Nurmi's carnival at the Olympic games, the wonderful Finn doing all expected when he became a double winner within an hour's time, taking the 1500 and 5000-metre runs and establishing a new Olympic record of 14:21 1-5 in the long race. While individual honors for the day for Nurmi, the United States continued to add points to the grand totals and when 15 finals had been contested the United States had amassed 177 points with Finland in second place with 103 points. American athletes won 42 points today in four events; 20 in the pole vault, 17 in the hammer and 3 in the 1500 and 5000-metre runs. One world's record was created when Imbach of Switzerland stepped a trial heat in the 400 dash in 48 seconds, two-fifths of a second faster than the time made by C. P. Reidpath, former Syracuse sprinter, in Sweden in 1912. United States athletes won places in all four of the final events contested today. They won overwhelming victories in the pole vault and hammer throw and squeezed places in the 1500 and 5000-metre runs. In the hammer throw, F. D. Tootell, Boston, won, with M. J. McGrath, veteran of the New York A. C., second, and Jim McEarchern, San Francisco fifth. Thus this event gave 17 points to the United States. The pole vault was a profitable event for Uncle Sam as his boys won the first three places. Lee Barnes, California schoolboy, was the winner, after jumping off a tie at 12 feet 11-8 inches with G. Graham, from California Tech. Graham won second place and J. K. Brooker of Michigan was fourth. Ralph Spearow, Oregon, was sixth. This event gave the gang of armed pirates from a big motor boat who took charge of the ship and locked the crew in the hold. The pirates remained aboard about a week, during which they transferred a cargo of liquor valued at a half million dollars to liquor-schooners in the vicinity. PLAC.

Their dissensions,they were left buried in those gar runways where they toiled fought so long—longer than other delegates to any major lical convention in the midst of American politics. The Davis part of it took sixteen days. The Bryan took but little more than minutes. But irrespective of the distance in time of accomplishment democratic chieftains prof­ themselves equally satisfied with both jobs. They were tering to their long sought life today to tell the rank and all about it. John W.

In the long series of qualifying heats which worked the 400-metre dash down to the semifinals, J. Coard Taylor of the New York A. C., and H. Fitch of Chicago survived for the semi-finals. Barnes is the second school boy to win an Olympic title. He is a student at the Hollywood California high school. Altho Nurmi pulled up and jogged to the tape in the last few yards, he was within one second of his own world’s record and should have lowered the mark, but he was content to save himself for the final of the 5000-metre run later in the day, in which he repeated. There was a scramble for the other places, the youthful British collegians, Stallard and Lowe, having more in reserve than the veteran Americans. Buker and Huhn. Lowe of Britain took the lead at the start but Nurmi moved in ahead of him at the 100-metre mark and was never displaced. Stollard of Britain, and Scahrer came strong in the last 200 metres. Scahrer taking second by inches. Buker and Huhn, the Americans, ran together most of the distance and placed themselves by a fine sprinkle in the stagger. Buker leading Huhn across the line by a foot.

BANDITS GET $8500 GLENS FALLS, N. Y., July 10.—Two armed bandits held up R. Emmet Archibald, cashier of the First National Bank of Lake George, today and robbed him of $8500 of the bank’s funds. Archibald was on his way to the bank. The bandits escaped in an auto. Police Seek Burglar With Foot Nearly 18 Inches Long Burglar who the last few nights have ravaged Anaheim and vicinity are reported to have changed their arena of operations to Fullerton, but their monetary success has dwindled, according to a report to Fullerton police. The residence of J. F. Carter, 924 East Walnut-st, was entered from the front way by means of a passkey, and the house ransacked, but only one dollar in money missed.

S. veterans' bureau, which was the scene early this week of a first fight between Director Frank T. Hines and an enraged world war veteran trying to get compensation, today witnessed another row—this time with Senator Henry F. Ashurst, Dem. of Ariz., in the role of accuser. Ashurst called at the bureau with a negro veteran, George McKay of Danville, Va., to whom the government had refused compensation, pounded the desks in the office of the director and demanded "justice for this boy" in such stenotian tones that the negro was finally admitted to Walter Reed Hospital for treatment. CALVIN LAID TO REST BY ANCESTORS Simplicity Marks Final Obsequies in Vermont Churchyard PLYMOUTH, Vt., July 10.—In the cross roads cemetery of this little hamlet, Calvin Coolidge. STRONG WIND FANS FOREST FLAMES SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—Fanned by a high wind, the Yuba Pass fire in the Tahoe National Forest broke forth with renewed force today, defying the efforts of exhausted men who have been endeavoring to bring it under control for the last week and had almost succeeded. Reports received at the UU. S. district foresters' office here said the conflagration was running wild before the high wind and had jumped an area of one and a half miles, where fire fighters had backfired yesterday. Many thousands of acres of fine timber have been destroyed, it was said. The Yuba Pass blaze was one of three in various parts of the state today out of control, forestry officials declaring they had small hopes of quenching them within the next 24 hours unless the wind shifts. More than 30,000 acres of brush and timber land have been ruined in the Sequoia National Forest to date by the Bull Run fire, which today continued to rage with unabated vigor in spite of the efforts of more than 500 men, half of whom were impressed into service in Bakersfield. The north line of this blaze was uncontrolled and another bad break occurred on the south line, which was partially stopped yesterday by prompt backfiring. The fire is slowly eating its way into the inaccessible country near Greenhorn Mountain ANGESTORS Simplicity Marks Final Obsequies in Vermont Churchyard PLYMOUTH, Vt., July 10.—In the cross roads cemetery of this little hamlet, Calvin Coolidge, Jr., son of the president, was buried this afternoon. Aside from the clear tone of the bugle "taps" echoing and reechoing from the Vermont bills and the presence of a little handful of the nation's highest, the 16-year-old lad was lower-d into his grave much as any other American boy might have been by two heartbroken parents. The location of the final rites made display impossible. They were not desired by the bereaved. The attendance of a few representatives of the national government and the light military touch were the only concessions of the sorrowing father to the high rank he holds. The scene was far more inspiring and dramatic in its simplicity than had young Calvin been accorded the highest honors a nation can give. There was real grief. There was real tribute. NORTHAMPTON, Mass., July 10.—Back in this little New England town where but 16 short years ago he was born, Calvin Coolidge, Jr., son of the president, was carried today to pause momentarily in the journey to his final resting place in the Vermont hills of his forefathers. It is here that Calvin spent his early childhood and it was here that his heart broken parents chose to accord him one final tribute before the burial in the Coolidge family plot at Plymouth, Vermont. In the quiet, red brick Congregational church that only a few years ago claimed the president's son as one of its youngest members, simple services were conducted over the rose-blanketed casket. Rev. Dr. Kenneth B. Wells, Calvin's childhood pastor, read the beautiful passages of the Twenty-third Psalm, while old friends and playmates mingled with the highest of the land in silent tribute. Seated before the coffin were the immediate family, president and Mrs. Coolidge, bearing with fortitude their first great sorrow, John, the older brother, still dazed from the loss of his inseparable companion; the president's aged father, mourning over his LOCAL YOUNG INJURED CRASH Jim Whitaker, son of terer J.

Utter, after an X-ray, announced then chance the arm might but it would probably Considerable surgical Today William Jennings Bryan was "supporting the ticket." The nomination of "Brother Charlie" was accomplished with fusas or feathers. Along with one o'clock this morning, the delegates wobbling in their seats from weariness, the convention seemed in for another fight. No one wanted it, all no one seemed able to stop—that is, no one but John W. Davis. A recess of one hour was proposed to give the leaders opportunity to get together on a vice president. It had a familiar ring—that phrase "to give the leaders a chance to confer." The home hungry delegates howled it down. "The eyes have it," calmly announced A. W. Barkley of Kentucky who was in the chair. Before the delegates could recover from their astonishment at his piece of business the recess was actually on. Davis, accompanied by Gov. Almith, George Brennan, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, E. T. Meredith, Frank L. Polk, Frank Hague, Tom Maggart and Joe Guffey, with a few others, slipped out the back yard and crossed the street to the (Continued on Page Two) Anglar With 18 Inches Long "We are looking for a man with a foot about this long," said Police Chief Moody of Anaheim today. He measured off a space something under 18 inches in length. "At almost everyone of the places burglarized here mammoth footprints have been found. And the queer part of it is that no one has seen the burglar. Usually in a series of such house entrances a neighbor will note the intruder." Fire in the Santiam forest near Albany, Ore., was reported entirely beyond control today. More than 1000 acres have been swept and a change of the wind thru the night sent the flames raging up the southern slopes of Brietenbush Canyon toward the north Santiam. Damage to the Hammond Lumber Co.'s logging equipment will reach $150,000. It is estimated. The little town of Keno, 11 miles from Klamath Falls, is reported in danger of being swept by a fire which is gaining headway through logged off lands near there. Twenty additional fire fighters were added to the crew today. (Continued on Page Two) Rev. Dr. Kenneth B. Wells, Calvin's childhood pastor, read the beautiful passages of the Twenty-third Psalm, while old friends and playmates mingled with the highest of the land in silent tribute. Seated before the coffin were the immediate family, president and Mrs. Coolidge, bearing with fortitude their first great sorrow, John, the older brother, still dazed from the loss of his inseparable companion; the president's aged father, mourning over his favorite grandson; Mrs. Coolidge's mother, sorrowing in common with her daughter. Grouped about the coffin were the six marines from the presidential yacht Mayflower whom Calvin had admired so much in life and who have watched over him constantly since his tragic death three days ago. Present also were the great officials of the nation, members of the bereaved president's cabinet and behind them were the small and the great of Northampton, paying final tribute to the son of their greatest son. The church walls were banked with floral tributes from those who proudly had watched their former mayor rise to the greatest office in the land, and who had held a paternal feeling for the man's boy. The services were similar to those held Wednesday in the White House, simple in character, inspiring in nature. Soft choir music from long trained voices, the quiet notes of the organ, all combined to bring solace to the hearts of the bereaved. Promptly at 7 o'clock eastern standard time, the funeral train drew into Northampton. Almost immediately the president and Mrs. Coolidge and their elder son, John, left their car and retired to the Coolidge home now maintained by Mrs. Coolidge's mother, Mrs. Andrew Goodhue. There they rested, waiting for the time for the church services. Shortly after 8 o'clock they returned to the car containing the earthy remains of young Calvin. Silently they stood by as the body was lowered into the hearse and (Continued on Page Two) IN ANAHEIM aler COUNTRY PROGRESS OF ANAHEIM AS TOLD BY BUILDING Year Permits Total 1923 823 $2,269,271 1922 675 1,413,045 1921 564 1,253,870 1920 362 379,950 1919 174 464,500 Fair, warm, weather tonight and Friday with lower humidity. 27th YEAR—No. 266 POWER SCHEME Impiad, Adding 43 Points Today DEMO NOMINEE FOR VICE-PRESIDENCY 2 COUNCILS ANXIOUS TO PROCEED Bond Elections Probably Will Be Called in Two Cities at Early Date Anaheim and Fullerton councilmen will unite in construction and development of a joint electric LOCAL YOUTH INJURED IN CRASH Jim Whitaker, son of Postmaster J. H. Whitaker, was seriously injured in an auto collision at 9 a.m. today at Cypress. Young Whitaker, driving a Ford coach, just after passing the P.

He was rushed to the emergency hospital at Cypress for immediate attention by Dr. M. H. Damron and then removed to Anaheim Community Hospital in a Backs, Terry & Campbell ambulance where Dr. J. W. Utter, after an X-ray examination, announced there was a chance the arm might be saved but it would probably be stiff. Considerable surgical work was performed. Speeders to Store Cars or Be Jailed LOS ANGELES, July 10—Motorists charged with speeding will be given their choice of storing their cars or going to jail. Judge Baird announced today. The cars will be impounded by the city. OIL WORKERS IN COURT AFTER FIGHT A first fight that ensued when Carl Swanson, foreman of the Birch Oil company at Brea, discharged William Scott, a carpenter, turned out badly for Swanson, his appearance attested today, but Swanson was taking steps to see Scott came in for the share of penalties provided by law. First he had Scott arrested and brought before Justice J. B. Cox at Santa Ana, who fined the prisoner $25. This he paid. Then Swanson shifted the scenes to La Habra, where it was said he expected to ask Justice H. E. Hart to have Scott placed under bond to keep the peace. When the carpenter was dismissed a quarrel ensued, during which Scott was branded as a PROGEEED Bond Elections Probably Will Be Called in Two Cities at Early Date Anaheim and Fullerton councilmen will unite in construction and development of a joint electric lighting and power plant, if legal obstacles can be removed, it was decided last night at a joint conference here. As a first step the aid of the Calif. League of Municipalities will be sought to obtain necessary legislation, either by change in the general law or by special enabling act, at the next session of the assembly which convenes in January. A committee of six, three from each city, including the two city attorneys, was named to push the desired legislation. The attorneys will first get into communication with the executive secretary of the municipal league. The matter may be placed on the program of the league when it meets this fall. A wonderful unanimity of purpose and spirit of cooperation was manifest last night at the conference. Mayor E. H. Metcalf was named chairman and Mayor Crooke of Fullerton secretary. Later in the evening it was decided to make the joint conference a permanent organization. Frequent consultations will be held, time of meeting being left to Chairman Metcalf whenever the situation demands it. The next meeting will be held Tuesday evening at Fullerton. Both councils expressed the desire to proceed with plans for municipal power plants and the economy of a joint plant, both in initial investment and one overhead, was emphasized. The probable course will be early bond elections. At the best, it requires four months to call bond election, advertise and sell bonds. Each city will get this formality out of the way. Then, if legislation is obtained permitting the joint power plant, an election can be called in each city by which voters can approve the use of the bond money for a joint project. If the legislation cannot be secured for any reason, the cities can proceed separately. There legislation now that permits joint ownership and operation of water and sewer system but, for some reason, a joint power plant is not provided by law. Councilmen last night foresaw that the power companies might make some trouble in the legislature when joint municipal power plant legislation is sought. to Anaheim after working all night in the Torrance oilfields, ran into a truck.

Damron and then removed to Anaheim Community Hospital in a Backs, Terry & Campbell ambulance where Dr. J. W. Utter, after an X-ray examination, announced there was a chance the arm might be saved but it would probably be stiff. Considerable surgical work was necessary. Postmaster Whitaker was of the opinion that his son, fatigued after his night's work, had dozed at the wheel for a moment. The Ford was badly wrecked. PLOT TO BLOW UP ARSENAL BLOCKED MANILA, P. L., July 10.—It was reliably reported today that the plot to blow up the Cavite arsenal which aroused widespread apprehension here, coming as it did on the heels of the strike of Philippine secuits, originated in the flushed brain of a Filipino fireworks maker who was overtalkative. The plot was nipped in the bud and officials believe the situation is less serious today than at first imagined and further violence is not feared. DEMOS ADJOURN NEW YORK, July 10.—The Democratic committee adjourned this afternoon subject to the call of Chairman Cordell Hull. The adjournment was taken without a successor to Hull having been designated. Indications pointed to Hull's re-election and a meeting of the committee at about the time that John W. Davis is notified formally of his nomination for the presidency. ROB CLARK HOME The residence of L. E. Clark, 911 East Santa Ana-st, was entered, according to a report to local police.
