ELOQUENT PLEASE WON'T AGREE TO CLOSING FACTORY State Health Inspector Will Look Into Local Sewage Question The city administration won't accept any proposal to shut down the Crystal Chemical Co.'s Works except temporarily as an accommodation.

INHABITANTS OF VILLAGE THIEF MAKE HAUL THIS AFTERNOON Dresses Worth Hundred Of Dollars Taken From Auto on Center St. Several hundred dollars worth of women's clothing was stitched about 1 p.m. today, from a parked on East Center St., cording to a report to police. State Health Inspector Will Look Into Local Sewage Question The city administration won't accept any proposal to shut down the Crystal Chemical Co.'s Works except temporarily as an accommodation, unless the State Board of Health so orders, City Manager W. Price declared in effect today. Inspector Gowdy of the state body will come here shortly and investigate. Gowdy is familiar with conditions already both at this plant and one of the California Citrus Fruit Juice, whose refuse before the cooking machinery was put in was too coarse to pass through the screen at the treatment plant. When the question of the latter concern came up, Gowdy let it be understood that any matter that would pass through the screen was permissible. The Crystal Chemical Co. has been using the joint outfall sewer for some months, and its refuse has not been a public nuisance here for many weeks. The present difficulty arose when City Engineer Knox of Santa Ana declared completion of the approximately 200 feet of line into the ocean was being interfered with by the black fluid in the water, the discoloration interfering with the divers. The chemical plant, altho outside the city, was hooked onto the outfall before the present administration went into office, stated Mayor Metcalf, Santa Anna, according to the joint outfall agreement. Since the territory where the chemical plant is located voted Tuesday to be annexed to Anaheim this objection no longer holds good, says the mayor. At a matter of fact, the outfall should not have been used until the ocean end was completed. It was to accommodate Santa Ana with its lack of sewage disposal that prompted the premature inauguration of the outfall, Anaheim officials stated today. However, Santa Ana seems to be very jealous of Anaheim industries, continued these officials, protesting first against the citrus bi-products plant and now against the chemical company. The chemical company, erected at a cost of $250,000, employs 25 men and will employ 60 by the end of the year. Plans are being made to increase the investment to $750,000. The joint outfall agreement includes provision for industrial sewage and Anaheim is going to insist upon it, it was declared here today. INHABITANTS OF VILLAGE FLEE FIRE SAN FRANCISCO, July 31 — Forest fires which to date have claimed two lives continued today to rage in California National Forests and state lands, fanned to renewed fury in many cases by adverse winds and all fed by abnormally dry underbrush and tinder. So serious was the situation around Bautiste Canyon in Cleveland National Forest that U.S. District Supervisor Paul G. Redington prepared today to leave immediately to assume control of the hundreds of men now fighting the conflagration. More than 8000 acres have been totally destroyed in that locality to date, a check-up revealed today, and because of the unfavorable conditions control of it is not expected for some time. SAN FRANCISCO, July 31 — With a wall of flame on two sides and rapidly closing the gap on the third side, the town of Floriston, in the Truckee Canyon, was reported deserted today as its 250 inhabitants fled before the advancing forest fire with their portable belongings. Only a fortunate change of wind was expected to save the 65 cottages making up the little paper mill town. Forest fires were burning from the Klamath National Forest on the north to the San Jacinto Mountains on the south, according to reports to the U.S. forestry service. Two lives have been lost to date in the battle against the flames; one man being crushed beneath a giant rock, which rolled on him while on the fire line and another was killed by a falling tree.

Now that is indeed a problem all parents must confront and solve in their own way. Which pictures and books shall we allow our children to see and read? My husband and I have acted as censors on books, movies and other forms of amusement. We suggest that they go see pictures and read books that we know will have a good, wholesome impression with them. There are many such pictures and books, and I'm sure that a little tacit and diplomacy on the part of parents will direct their attention to the right ones. Very truly, A READER.

LETTERS FROM PEOPLE Dear Sir: I see where you have carried letters from mothers who are complaining about some pictures now being shown at local theatres. A jury in the superior court found for the defendant, Lee Pfau, of Balboa, in a suit brot by Lew H. Wallace to collect 50,000 damages from him because of alleged alanderous remarks. Wallace today made the following statement: "I sued for damages, and the jury, by its verdict, said I was not damaged by the statements by Pfau, and I guess the jury was right, for in the last city election at Newport Beach I was elected city treasurer by virtually 600 votes to nothing." "I am convinced that my activities with the Orange county harbor commission had no weight with the jurors. During my sixteen years experience as city treasurer of Newport Beach I have not fully complied with the law in reference to the deposit of city funds, but in that I have followed the custom of treasurers of other cities.

Editor, Plain Dealer. Dear Sir: Imagine that when the producers and theatre owners started this "greater movie season" movement they wanted and were desirous of nice things being said about the pictures they are producing at present. But alas! the public chooses to misunderstand the true meaning of this clever bit of publicity, and literally takes them at their own word: that is, tell them that what they want is good clean pictures. Some of the pictures now being shown are splendid, but far too many are much too risque for young folks, and grown folks to see. Very truly your, A SUBSCRIBER. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, July 31.-An eloquent plea for "justice and mercy" for Nathan F. Leapold, Jr., and Richard Book, 19-year-old college youths, who kidnapped and murdered little Bubble Franks for the adventurous thrill of it, was the high light of another stormy day of legal bickering and wrangling in Judge John R. Caverly's court today. The wrangling was all about the objections of the state to allowing the dozen high priced alienists hired by the wealthy parents of the boys to take the stand for the defense and submit evidence of their mentalities, and functions in characters, "as a mitigating circumstance" for the crime and thus seek a punishment milder than the hangman's noose. Several times Judge Cavarly indicated that he was tired of the argument and that his was not going to change; is decision that the psychiatrists could be allowed to give their testimony "for what it is worth," but the state's attorneys continued, doggedly and persistently, to prove to him by precedents and authorities, that his decision was wrong and unprecedented. INTELLECTUALS DISLIKE TERM "DISEASED MINDS" CHICAGO, July 31.-Nathan Leapold, Jr., and Dickie Loeb, the self-proclaimed young college intellectuals who kidnapped and killed little Bobble Franks just to add the crime of murder to the thrills they have enjoyed, do not care particularly whether the alienists their wealthy families have employed for them succeed in giving testimony as to their mental state or not. They know the alienists are going to describe them as "mentally diseased," not downright insane—but still queer enough for Judge John R. Cavarly to take into consideration their mentality when he goes about deciding whether they should hang or go to prison for life. They have a natural somewhat boyish desire to see the state defeated in its effort to keep the alienists off the stand. They like to see the state defeated wherever possible, but on the other hand, they do not relish being painted to the world as having "diseased minds." That is a blow to their pride. They have been widely advertised as being "intellectuals." For the alienists to cloud their almost "perfect crime," by describing it as the child of abor- "I am convinced that my activities with the Orange county marbor commission had no weight with the jurors. During my sixteen years experience as city treasurer of Newport Beach I have not fully complied with the law in reference to the deposit of city funds, but in that I have followed the custom of treasurers of other cities. The fact that the law requiring that interest should be paid on city deposits is unjust did not enter into the consideration of the testimony by the jury. Collection of interest and then paying it out for clerical help simply would be washing one hand with the other. The bank has done all the clerical work in connection with the handling of the funds and has been compensated by the use of the money. "It no doubt is a fact that I have not been damaged by the statements made by Pfau and because of this the jury concluded I was not entitled to damages. It took the jury an hour to return a verdict for Pfau." RECORD NUMBER OF NAMES ON PETITION SACRAMENTO, July 31.—With the receipt of 31,000 signatures from Los Angeles, the initiative providing for a fish and game preserve on the Klamath River and prohibiting the erection of barriers across the river qualified for a place on the ballot with the largest number of signatures ever ridden on an initiative measure in the Secretary of State's office. The legal requirement is 77,800 signatures and the measure will have far over that. INCREASE PAY IF MONEY IS RAISED WASHINGTON, July 31.—President Coolidge will approve legislation to increase the pay of postal employees, if provision is made for raising the additional money that would be required, today told C. P. Franciscus, president of the National Association of Postoffice Clerks. Franciscus told the president that postal employees were "recentful of his veto of the last pay increase bill, which would have authorized the expenditure of about $68,000,000." As try-outs to see which reality board will represent the county at the annual convention of the Cal Realty Ass'n at Pasadena in October, each reality board will put on a stunt of some kind. Some novel comedy is assured. There are really boards at Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ann, Orange, Huntington Beach, Newport-Balloon, and Garden Grove. Anaheim is host Saturday About 200 realtors and their families are expected. Some valuable prizes will be given stunt winners, among them six pianos and an auto. The press agent failed to state whether or not these were life size. WINDOWS LIGHTED SATS. AND SUNS. V. W.

CONVICTS MISSING SACRAMENTO, July 31.—No trace had been found at an early hour today of Albert Stewart and William Aberton, Polnom prison convicts, who were missing when the prisoners were checked in last night. Stewart was serving a sentence for burglary from Los Angeles county and Aberton was under life sentence from Alameda-co. for murder. Marcelling, Shingle Bobbling by appointment, Phone 23-J. Leopold mockingly warned the reporters against clustering around the judge's bench "whitening out my view." When Judge Caverly speaks it usually is in so low a tone that it carries but a few feet and it is necessary for the reporters to chamber out of their seats and crowd up with the lawyers to learn what is taking place. "You fellows," he said, with mock seriousness, "joiced me around a lot yesterday and stepped on my toes and kept me from seeing the show. Today I have fortified myself with a deadly (Continued on Page Two)
