Newspapers expressed the hope that permanent peace is at least on the way. Premier Ramsay MacDonald, laborate head of the British government, was lauded for his success in the allied reparations conference. The allied conference, incidentally, will extend its international aspect tomorrow, with the entrance of the Germans. It is understood that the Germans already have expressed their willingness to accept the proposals of the "big seven," heads of the allied delegations. The "Big Seven" met today but the other delegates took advantage of the bank holiday.

PICTURE AT UNITED ONE TO INSPIRE "A Girl of the Limberlost," which will be seen at the United theater Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is an inspiring story adapted from the novel by Gene Stratton Porter and brings to the screen all the riches and beauty of this widely read out-of-door romance. Romance and beauty supplemented by artistic settings, photography that is delightfully beautiful, and players who are admirably chosen for their parts combine to make "A Girl of the Limberlost" a picture that is worth going to see. The horrific ability of Gloria Grey, Gertrude Olmsted, Cullen Landis, Raymond McKee, Emily Fitzzey and Arthur Currier stand out vividly. Other parts are in the capable hands of Alfred Allen, Virginia Boardman, Myrtle Vane, Jack Daugherty and Ruth Stonehouse. BALBOA WATER CALLED MENACE O. B. Weaver of South Bushstreet is seriously ill with a fever today, following the drinking of water from an exposed place in Balboa Palisades a few days ago. His wife and two children were also ill, according to Dr. J. W. Truxaw, but recovered. Too much sun was partly to blame for the family's illness. Weaver drank of the water against the advice of a woman who has a store nearby, it is said. The water, however, is declared to be a public menace, because its impurity is not generally known. FATHER TO ANSWER FOR CHILD'S DEATH NOGALES, Aug. 4.—What authorities assert was one of the most brutal crimes on record in the southwest, Jose H. Duran is scheduled to go on trial here tomorrow for the murder of his three-year-old daughter. Duran killed the child with axe blades during a police chase. When PATHER TO ANSWER FOR CHILD'S DEATH NOGALES, Aug. 4.—What authorities assert was one of the most brutal crimes on record in the southwest, Jose H. Duran is scheduled to go on trial here tomorrow for the murder of his three-year-old daughter. Duran killed the child with axe blows, according to police. When arrested Duran told the officers he committed the crime because his wife "had been untrue." THROUGH STAGE TICKETS, PERHAPS Lewis A. Monroe, acting as agent for the Pacheco Stages, Highway Stage Line and Pickwick Stagez, Northern Division, Inc., today applied to the railroad commission authority to put first effect, on less than 30 days' notice, a tariff showing thru joint one-way passenger fares between points served by the Pacheco Stages and points served by the Highway Stage Line and the Pickwick line. The Pacheco Stages operates between Bell's Station, Los Banos and Freeso. Highway stages operate between San Jose and Gilroy and the Pickwick Stages between Los Angeles and San Francisco and San Francisco and Portland. The rate-proposed are a full combination of local fares. If the authority asked for is granted by the commission the three lines involved will be enabled to sell thru tickets to travelers. MARY SOURED ON CALIFORNIA? LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.—After declaring she was "sick and tired of California" Mary Miles Minter, motion picture star today is speeding toward New York. Traveling as "Miss Shelby" the actress left here hoping, she said, she "would never return." Don't Forget That The Ever-Ready Truck & Transfer Co. Is still able to do your hauling of any description CONTRACE HAULING A SPECIALTY Get Our Price O. J. LINNARTZ, Prop. Residence 211 E. Sycamore St. PHONE 209-M- THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. SARGUM PROUTINGS Roland Roberts and Wallace Bates of San Francisco defeated the great Bill Tilden and Bill's phenom, Sandy Welner, in the doubles play in the California championship tennis play at the Los Angeles club Saturday. The Roberts-Hates combination gave the tennis fans a big thrill when they defeated the champion and his protege. Each had been eliminated in the singles play in the morning and neither had displayed much form, but when they started playing the doubles they both suddenly found themselves and played brilliantly. Jack Kerns has made the assertion that his meal ticket will not right again till next summer. They, the two Jacks, want too much money for a fight, for any promoter to meet those demands and stage the show indoors. The Jacks want $1,000,000 for what they call a fight. Those two high binders have made a fortune out of the public already, why should their demands be met? One-tenth of what they are demanding would be a reasonable fee for meeting any of the present crop of heavy weights. At one time Dempsey would have been risking his crown in a match with Wills but that day is past. Wills could have bested the champ five or six years ago but he is not the Wills of old. The boxing commission should regulate some of the highbrow stuff out of the champs and their managers. We gloat over the fact that Eugene Criqui the game little Frenchman that came over here and won a championship, lost his laurels within a month's time. The little Frenchman was a real champion and gave the best man in sight a chance and lost. He had CYCLIST'S NECK BROKEN IN CRASH One person dead, Lino Castro, 13-year-old orphan; seven injured and eight automobiles and motorcycles wrecked was the toll of traffic accidents in Orange-co over the week-end. Castro's neck was broken when the bicycle he was riding was struck by an automobile driven by W. E. Winterowd at 2026 W. Fifth-st. Winterowd lives in Orange. A coroner's inquest will be held this afternoon. Winterowd was not held. Mrs. J. L. Abbott of Fullerton was cut about the face and Mrs. W. P. Quarton of Anaheim sus-tained a sprained back when the car driven by Quarton was struck by a car driven by Eugene Says of Walnut Park on the Laguna Beach road last night. Miss sustained a deep scalp wound. The two were treated at the county hospital. G. V. Lambian, 710 West 96th-st., Los Angeles, had a narrow escape from death when the car driven by himself and occupied by his wife and two small children plunged over a bank near the Palisades at Balboa. Lambian suffered a severe scalp wound. The others were not hurt. Mrs. J. C. Pires and her 7-year-old daughter were injured Sunday noon when the touring car in which they were riding with J. C. Pires of Clearwater collided with a sedan driven by George Parker of Santa Ana. At first reported stolen, the sedan of Linwood Andrews of Laguna Beach was later found to have been borrowed by his 14-year-old stepson. The boy, Rich-aria Mauine, barely escaped death when the sedan was in a collision with another car in Laguna canyon. A wrecked car registered to S. Crez was found near Huntington Beach by state motor-cycle police. BEASES EBASES to the lead by beat, as 42,003 us gave St. over Wash.

WE BASES been riskling his crown in a match with Willa but that day is past. Willa could have bested the champ five or six years ago but he is not the Willa of old. The boxing compulsions should regulate some of the highbrow stuff out of the champs and their managers. We gloat over the fact that Eugene Criqui the game little Frenchman that came over here and won a championship, lost his laurels within a month's time. The little Frenchman was a real champion and gave the best man in eight chance and lost. If he had been of the Dempsey type he would still be champion. We are not trying to say that there are any better fighters in the world than Jack Dempsey, because we don't know of any. But a champion to be a real champion should give everyone a reasonable chance. The much talked of battle between Paul Berkenbach and young Stribling is to be raged in New York Aug. 27. Young Stribling will meet a very dangerous foe in Paul who had such a string of knockouts to his credit. Berkenbach is capable of ending a fight at any time. He has a terrific punch that spells curtains when it lands properly. William Lane, the Salt Lake owner, has made Eddie Maler an offer of $175,000 so he says Mr. Maler wants $250,000 so they say Just $75,000 between the two in the deal. If we had the $75,000 they could keep the Tigers, but nevertheless it looks as if the powers that be are going to keep after the Vernon franchise till. Mr. Maler will give it up. They claim that Lane has lost a lot of money in Salt Lake in the baseball game; why should he want to burn his hands again? It is very doubtful that the Tigers would be the paying team that it now is under Mr. Lane's ownership. There has been times when Mr. Lane was not very popular in the coast loop. His action during the time when the scandal broke out and cost him two or three players caused a great deal of adverse criticism. The Tigers were caught in the same nire and Maler cleaned house and said nothing about it. Maler has a big following that no stranger could hope to get right off the bat. Not so many moons ago they said that Wrigley was out of the Los Angeles association. Now they admit he is very much interested. What do you know about that? There are strange doings in this Pacific Coast league of ours. The fans knew that there is something rotten in Denmark but they do not know how or where to place the blame. Ed Strangler Lewis, supposed to be the greatest of all wrestlers. For 4-Mar ALWAYS COOL INSIDE MERCHANTS PLAY WINNING SERIES Placenta Merchants won two out of a three game series against Whittier Giants by their 11 to 8 victory yesterday. The other victory came to them by a 18 to 5 score. Manager Ray Pantuso will have another fast club next week, having signed up Callan and Salveson. Placenta struck out six men, had 5 errors and 10 hits. Whittier pitcher struck out 4 men, had 7 errors and 7 hits. CLAIMS UP FOR COURT'S OPINION Elizabeth Rankin was plaintiff today in the superior court against Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Boone to collect $6500 alleged to be due on a note. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Boone were also made defendants because of an alleged interest in the property mortgaged to secure the note. Harry D. Riley, Anaheim automobile dealer, today sued Harold Watson, and J. Watson of Olive to collect $1640.70 and $400 attorneys fees. Riley alleged that the $1640.70 is due on a car payment. THREE SEEK DIVORCES Three complaints for were filed today in the superior court. Otto J. Keefe of Santa Ana asks a decree from Grace D. Keefe on the grounds of desertion. Marie Rainey asked a decree from Clyde Raine on the ground that he neglected her after December, 1921. The couple were married March 31, that year, her complaint said. Mrs. Mary Belle Clark of Anaheim accused her husband, Willard B. Clark, with willful neglect. They were married in Riverside in 1920 and separated June 20 last year, her complaint recited. the home runs he landed a two-bagger. Houser, playing first base for J. C. Pires of Clearwater collided with a sedan driven by George Parker of Santa Ana. At first reported stolen, the sedan of Linwood Andrews of Laguna Beach was later found to have been borrowed by his 14-year-old stepson. The boy, Richia masonne, rarely escaped death when the sedan was in a collision with another car in Laguna canyon. A wrecked car registered to S. Crea was found near Huntington Beach by state motorcycle police. There were no signs of blood. STEEL MARKET GAINS IN STRENGTH NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The stock market gave another exhibition of strength today, tho as in recent previous sessions, irregular trends developed in certain groups of stocks due to profit taking and short selling. Spectacular movements in specialty stocks and high priced industrials held the attention of speculative community whenever interest in the general market lagged, and a number of these stocks showed that they still have plenty of climbing ability. U.S. Steel stock went into new high ground above 109, as a wave of buying swept over the market in the fourth hour and this was the signal for a new forward movement in stocks which had been lagging during the forepart of the session. General Electric at the head of the high priced specialty stocks, jumped eleven points to 281½ and Colorado Fuel, American Can and some other oldtime leaders in the present market movement, registered their best prices for the year. Oil stocks made another attempt to stage a bull market but met with indifferent success. The oils were in demand at the opening of the market. Standard issues leading the way to higher ground in the first hour. LOS ANGELES POTATOES LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4.-Potatoes: New stock locals, White Rose mostly $2.00 to $2.25; few fancy $2.35 to $2.50.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Chicagos exc- NOT so many moons ago they said that Wrigley was out of the Los Angeles association. Now they admit he is very much interested. What do you know about that? There are strange doings in this Pacific Coast league of ours. The fans know that there is something rotten in Denmark but they do not know how or where to place the blame. Ed Strangler Lewis, supposed to be the greatest of all wrestlers, any way he holds the crown, will do his stuff for Lew Dare at the Philharmonic auditorium Aug 13. His foe has not been named yet, but it looks to be either Toots Mondt or the ancient Zbyzske. Lewis looks to have 'the call over' Zbyzsko is too old and Toots is not at his peak yet. Either can make the champion travel at his best clop. Either will make a match worth seeing. Johnny Adams, the newly crowned lightweight of the coast, will defend his title of lightweight next Friday night against Johnny Trambitis. Trambitis comes from Portland and is hailed as the lightweight champ of the northwest. He is the youngest of the three fighting brothers that raised so much cane in the Los Angeles fighting colony two or three years ago. They cleaned up about everything in sight at that time. Johnny is a whirlwind that will give the San Bernardino Johnny a lot to think about. The newly organized Beavers have made it five in a row under the leadership of Sapt. Brazilll Kopeca Kenworthy must feel that his former charges must have been laying down on him. Kenworthy is a peppery little fellow that used to take with the fans. Why he should make such a miserable showing as a manager is beyond us. Ever so often some of the old Chicago Black Sox try to break back into the game they were driven out of. Eddie Cicotte is the latest. Cicotte was to have pitched in a game for Elyria Ohio against the Detroit Seals. It was a sort of state championship affair. The players of the two teams were afraid to go on the field with the black listed one, for LOS ANGELES CITRUS LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4—Oranges: Southernns, special brands $5.00 to $5.50; 200s and smaller $3.00 to $3.25; Market pack $2.35 to $3.25; graded calls $1 to $1.25.

Tomorrow sees the opening of "The Underdog" the latest and greatest of all motion pictures to be offered to the public. The cast is a brilliant one, composed of only the highest type of artist. The leading roles were allotted to Johnny Harron, Noah Berry, Ethel Grey Terry and Russell Simpson and Patsy Ruth Miller. "The Underdog" is a tense dramatic story that will grip you from start to finish. A story even more powerful than "To-lable David" that gave Richard Barthelmess so much prestige. Johnny Harron as the "Underdog" gives a wonderfully human characterization that will be remembered for many years to come. The whole cast was carefully chosen and they fit their parts as if born to them. To miss "The Underdog" would be to miss the biggest and finest of the late productions. Along with this premiere there will be several short subjects, a good comedy and splendid musical accompaniment by Miss Olive Kempin. Last times tonight of Norma Talmadge in "The Song of Love."
