ALIENIST SAYS SLAYERS SANE (Continued from Page One) Allen Loeb, older brother of Richard, took the stand. He identified a picture of Richard in a cowboy suit and a letter which Richard had received from his old governess, a Miss Scruthers, which the defense has laid great stress upon showing the marked influence of the governess on the adolescent mind of the boy. He was on the stand but a few minutes. Foreman M. Leopold, brother of "Babe," came next. He was not quite so perfunctory as the other witnesses. Under the questioning of defense attorneys he confirmed the statements of the allenists that, as a child of five and six years old, his younger brother had an abnormal interest in religious matters. As in Loeb's case, Foreman Leopold said that his younger brother had always been well supplied with pocket money since his college days. He received an allowance of $125 a month, and in addition received additional money whenever the occasion warranted, besides having an automobile, the upkeep of which did not come out of his allowance. He also confirmed the fact that arrangements had been made this summer for Nathan to go to Europe, his father agreeing to provide $2,000 for the trip. State's Attorney Crowe did not cross examine any of the relatives. BRIEFES FILED SOON IN CALIF. PROTEST WASHINGTON, Aug. 12—Briefs in the California community property case will be filed with Attorney General Stone within a few days by Senator Shortridge, Rep. of Calif., and Atty. Lloyd M. Robbins of San Francisco, representing the taxpayers, who claim SEVERAL LIVES BELIEVED LOST KNIGHTS LANDING, Calif., Aug. 12.—Several lives are believed to have been lost in a fire which early today destroyed a big barn of the River Farms Co. near here. The barn was used as a "hotel" by hoboes and itinerant workers and at least 60 were sleeping in the structure when the fire started. The barn contained hundreds of tons of hay and this was still blazing fiercely at noon today. It was stated that it would be several hours before it would be possible to determine how many lives had been lost. One body was discernable in the blazing mass of hay and the odor of burning flesh was so strong that observers feared many had been burned to death. The barn, a landmark in this vicinity, has for some time been the haven of road-weary men. It customarily furnished a resting place for from 15 to 60, and those who escaped said there were at least three score sleeping in the hay last night. The cause of the fire has not been determined but probably was started. It was said, from a burning candle or a match used by a careless smoker. The heat of the fire was so terrific today that it was impossible to approach close enough to make a check on the dead. Efforts of volunteer fire fighters to combat the blaze when it was discovered, were futile. CARRY GIN IN CAKES OF ICE OGDENSBURG, N.Y., Aug. 11. Advent of Summer weather today has spilled one of the latest, and by far the most ingenious, methods of footlegging which has come to the attention of local prohibition enforcement agents.

HARD JOB RAISING GERMAN FLEET LONDON, Aug. 12—Tremendous difficulties are being experienced by the salvagers now engaged in raising the sunken German fleet at Scapa Flow, Scotland. These in a position to judge mate that it will be approximately seven years before the whole fleet is raised, and then if the present difficulties are over come. Notwithstanding the most-to-date and powerful apparatus employed, the divers are finding a hard task to clear the sunken vessels of their several years' cumulation of marine growth some of which is stated to be six inches in thickness and BRIEFES FILED SOON IN CALIF. PROTEST WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Briefs in the California community property case will be filed with Attorney General Stone within a few days by Senator Shortridge, Rep. of Calif., and Atty. Lloyd M. Robbins of San Francisco, representing the taxpayers, who claim refunds from the government. C. B. Dodds, secretary to Senator Shortridge, said today that the attorney general has requested "further light" on two law points involved, and this information will be supplied by the California representative. Senator Shortridge, it was stated, hopes that it will not be necessary for the case to be taken to the United States supreme court for decision. In case Atty. Gen. Sams decides in favor of the taxpayers, the matter will be terminated. Dodds said. SHOOTING FOLLOWS FUSS OVER FENCE PHOENIX, Aug. 12.—Sam Hall, wealthy rancher, is dead here today, a victim of a gun held in the bands of Joyce Sheperd, according to the authorities. Shepperd later surrendered himself to the sheriff, declaring that the shooting followed a dispute over a fence. Hall's widow charged that Shepperd not only killed her husband, but also tried to shoot her. Classified Ads Bring Good Results CARRY GIN IN CAKES OF ICE OGDENSBURG, N. Y., Aug. 11. Advent of Summer weather today has spoiled one of the latest, and by far the most ingenious methods of bootlegging which has come to the attention of local prohibition enforcement agents. Large quantities of alcohol and glue colorless liquids, are believed to have been smuggled across the Canadian bolder inside of cakes of ice, which have never been subject to examination on the part of the authorities. For at least two months this Spring the plan was followed, it has been learned, and Revenue agents are curious to know just how much liquor actually posed before their eyes aboard large automobile ice trucks. Combination of the colorless liquids with the ice cakes, which had been hollowed out, made the ruse almost impossible of discovery, while the contents of the ice were prevented from spilling by a plate of clear glass neatly fastened over the top of each cake.

We want to see every seat taken and will appreciate any co-operation that will make this come true. We have arranged for two very fine numbers between the acts—so that there will be really a double bill. McDonald's Shop has sent for special costumes to be worn by the ladies in this play—we call that co-operation—for we know the costumes will be nice to look at (and so will the ladies). We are not canvassing for ticket sale, for we want to see if Anaheim people won't support a good play, without being asked to "please buy a ticket." The date is August 15th, one night only, at the Anaheim Union high school auditorium. Yes, we are donating a part of the proceeds to a very worthy cause, but we would rather sell our play on its merits than to dwell on the charity part. The merchants have been wonderful about lending us things to make a pretty home like setting. Every member of the cast is nicely suited to his or her part and all are working faithfully. The performance will be smooth and we can say that everyone who sees "Billeted" will be more than satified. Reservations can be made at Orange-co Drug Co. and at Heyings. The sooner you get them, the better they'll be. Thank you. ANAHEIM DRAMATIC CLUB.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1924 STOCK MARK IS REACTIONARY NEW YORK, Aug. 12—After early show of strength in the high priced railroad and equipment stocks today, the market gain displayed reactionary tendencies and prices of the market leaders in the industrial, steel and oil groups gradually descend to lower levels. Added by the pronounced weakness in the oil stocks at the opening of the market today, the cars launched an attack against stocks that had weakened their technical position by the rapid advance of the last two weeks and succeeded in driving prices backward from 1 to 4 points. Increasing demands of large investors and investing institutes have gradually turned their attention from the bond to the stock market with the result that each grade railroad and industrial dividend stocks have been tightened and taken out of the market in large volume. This accounts for the small floating supply of such stocks in the market and the rapid advance in prices stocks like Central of New Jersey, etc., on limited buying. Under the stimulus of an accumulation of buying orders in which priced stocks at the opening of the market today, prices jumped to 4 points in the early trading, but this was the only glitish demonstration of the day, immediately after that mark began to sag and maintained reactionary position for the rest of the day. Outside markets were less specular in their movements to foreign exchange markets and no new developments to resist. Copper markets were less live both in the domestic and foreign fields, the prices remain at 13.5-8c a pound. Cotton was firm on concentrated home and foreign buying.

Westphal is going to stay home until his wife gets back from her vacation trip, for fear he never will get home, should he leave again. Only last week he was out motoring (with three ladies—none of them the Missus) and after successful sealing and descending Heights, stepped on the gas and made the plaza in Orange just as well as anyone could have done. But the traffic rule in the neighboring town reads "keep to the right," which Mr. Westphal did until he had encircled the plaza half a dozen times, then when the cop removed the eye of suspicion for a moment Westphal shot down a street and merrily on his way to Anaheim—the thought. Driving up to the South Glazer-st bridge, which did not look like the West Chapman bridge at all, Mr. Westphal said: "Where are we going?" and was... PLACENTIA CALL MASS MEETING A committee of Placentia taxpayers, consisting of J. Charles Thaymer, Dr. F. M. Dowling, John Lang, John Tuffree and William Beilefeft, have called a mass meeting, to which they have invited all taxpayers and voters.

Dowling. It is, however, understood that William Schumacher and S. C. Hartranft will speak, and possibly William Talbert, chairman of the board of supervisors.
