BOOTLEGGER ON RUN IN ANAHEIM More Liquor Fines Date this Month That All of Last Year Bootleggers are finding Aheim an unsafe place in which dwell, according to the record Charles Kuchel, city recorder justice of the peace. The record show that more has been done wards ousting the bootleger cing the three months or so ing the new administration has b in power here they have MORGAN MAY REFUSE TO AID LOAN LONDON, Aug. 20.—J. P. Morgan & Co., the world's most powerful international banking firm, may refuse to participate in the flotation of the proposed $200,000,000 German loan because of continued French occupation of the Ruhr. It was learned from an authoritative source this afternoon. Thomas W. LaMont, who acted for the house of Morgan in the international bankers' negotiations here, consistently opposed French occupation of the Ruhr. LaMont and other bankers feared that the presence of French and Belgian troops in the Ruhr would interfere with the fere working of the Dawes plan and cause increased rement on the part of the Germans. However, there are other banks it is said, willing to assume leadership of the flotation of America's share of the bonds, even if J. P. Morgan & Co. withdraw. "With a settlement reached at London it is a pity there are not enough bankers to float a loan," commented Owen Young, a colleague of Charles G. Dawes. Young has left for Paris to assist in getting the Dawes plan in operation. He admitted it may be necessary for him to take the post of agent for reparations in Germany, even if only for a short time. The position already has been offered to him but he said he did not want it. ATTITUDE UNCHANGED NEW YORK Aug. 20.—The favorable attitude of J. P. Morgan & Co., toward participation in the proposed $200,000,000 loan for Germany has not changed, it was announced at the bank today. The statement said: "Three weeks ago, in a special statement, the Morgan banking house expressed its attitude. There has been no change in that atti- more liquor fines in the justice court during the month of June, exe- sive of the days served in jail, the offenders, amounted to proximately $1032. This includes intoxication charges and all. During the same month in the recorder's court possession of liquor fines collected approximately $575. During July this amount to $300 in the justice court and $400 in the recorder's court, and during the present month $250 in the justice court and $1500 in the recorder's court. This does not include a fine of $100 assessed yearly or a recorder's court again Marguerito Rodriguez on the charge of possession of liquor who went to jail in default payment. Compared with this, the record of the recorder's court show that during the last seven months Judge Brown's tenure of office under the Stark administration total amount of fines collected from liquor charges total only $435. These were for intoxication only. The records show no fines at all on charges of transporting and possession of liquor. What cases, if any, were handled in the recorder's court were evidently dismissed, or else were handled in the justice court. Justice court records for this period were not obtained. Private renter's records indicate a continued slump during this period until things were livened up by the institution of a determining fight for law enforcement through columns of the Plain Dealer B Rev. Leon L. Myers. This was "Here," said Marshall, "was no premeditation of murder. It was spontaneous. There was no planning." "The supreme court of the state has affirmed the verdict and fixed the date of execution. "Is Bernard Grant, 19, who had no advantages, it goes to the gallowows under the law, and these two defensants here who had every advantage in life, who plotted for months the deliberate slaying of a little boy, be allowed to escape the supreme penalty? Grant may have something the matter with his mind, too, but the courts considered him sane." Marshall cited another case that of another 19-year-old youth named Anderson, who also killed a policeman. He, too, was convicted and sentenced to death. Clarence Darrow for the defense, interrupted the state's attorney at this point with the significant observation that Anderson has never been hanged but his sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment by the governor. "What difference does it make," retorted Marshall. "The judicial and the executive branches of the government are separate. Here have been many hindrances this case that, if all other matters fail to save 'Dickie' and 'Babe' from the gallows a last resort will be made to executive clemency — a commutation of a death penalty to life imprisonment. Marshall talked for two hours this morning for the death penalty, citing scores of cases and decisions to support his plan. When court adjourned for the noon recess, he was still talking." BITTER FIGHT TO BEAT DAWES PLAN BERLIN, Aug. 20.—A determined more to defeat the legislation necessary to affect the Dawes plan was made tonight by the Communists and German Nationalists in the Reichstag. The extremists of the left demand general amnesty as the price for their support. The monarchists announced that their opposition would stand despite the government's threat to dissolve the legislature. ATTITUDE UNCHANGED NEW YORK Aug. 20.—The favorable attitude of J. P. Morgan & Co., toward participation in the proposed $200,000,000 loan for Germany has not changed, it was announced at the bank today. The statement said: "Three weeks ago, in a special statement, the Morgan banking house expressed its attitude. There has been no change in that attitude." WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—As another move toward insuring the complete success of the Dawes reparations plan, the administration stands ready to make a formal appeal to American bankers to contribute to the $200,000,000 German loan, it was learned here today. Pending a decision, however, on the course to be taken by J. P. Morgan & Co., of New York on the loan, the state department does not plan to issue such an appeal. On the basis of reports from Ambassador Kellogg and Col. James A. Logan, American representatives at the London conference which approved the Dawes act department officials are of the opinion that the simple guarantees desired by American financiers have been effected by the London agreement. President Coolidge is already on record as urging private loans by Americans to finance the new European undertaking on the ground that (hru) the stabilization (Continued on Page Four) S.

ON BOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND, OFF HEYKJAVIK, Aug. 29.—The Richmond arrived too late to allow Lieut. Lowell Smith and Lieut.

If weather conditions permit, the aviators will start for Cane Parewell, Greenland, tomorrow morning. ABOARD U. S. S. RICHMOND OFF HEYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 20. (By Kadio)—If the army round-the-world filers want to continue their epoch making journey with navy protection in the leey northern seas, they'll have to get started within the next four days. Admiral Magruder, in charge of the navy ships assisting the filers, announced today that the vessels' fuel was being exhausted. Unless the filers are able to take off by Aug 24," said Magruder, "it is probable they will have to fly without protection convey, because of the need of fuel." In order to facilitate the aviators' departure, Magruder plans to halt the Richmond and send naval planes 90 miles to Reykjavik with repair parts for the army machines which were damaged when they attempted to hop off because of the added weight from the added supply of fuel each carried. By despatching the parts by air, Magruder said, fuel will be saved for the ship. An investigation was being made today to fix responsibility for a blunder that will cost the navy department $50,000. It is charged that a lieutenant's error caused the Richmond to travel 700 miles to take up its station with the repair parts needed by the machines, leaving the soldiers stranded at Reykjavik. The futtle journey cost $20,000 alone for oil for the Richmond, national amounts for the "wild result was other two main candidates: the old ring in attempting to put over at Tuesday's primary. All three of the candidates assembly claim, to be cry, ever, the fact that the old chine of laxity in law enforcement is fighting W. B. Allen would dicate he is the man to be close next Tuesday. One of several ministate Crawford's letters is the answer that the Plain Dealer promises print his first letter attacking mayor. Of course, no such piece was ever made by The Plain Dealer. This is not the first time Crawford has attempted to thwart wishes of the people. In the mer of 1918, Anaheim dry water filed with the city clerk a petition asking council adopt a bone-dry ordinance on at election at which the people might express their desires that time Anaheim had about population. The petition contends the names of 505 voters, ehc to indicate the success of an effort to close al saloons and quor stores. Instead of letting the man take its course, Crawford entails a supposedly secret meeting if effort to save the who'sale life houses which would have left him as wet as ever. But Plain Dealer got next and expelled the whole deal. It will never forgotten by voters who lived Anaheim at that time.

RARE JEWELS VALUED AT $30,000 Recovered By Detectives of Dist. Attorney Keyes' Office LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20—While Norman Selby, former pugilist, known as "Kid" McCdy, was in court here today waiting arraignment on charges of having murdered Mrs. Teresa More, three pieces of rare jewelry, valued at Recovered By Detectives of Dist. Attorney Keyes' Office LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20—While Norman Selby, former puglist, known as "Kid" McCoy, was in court here today waiting arraignment on charges of having murdered Mrs. Teresa More, three pieces of rare jewelry, valued at more than $30,000, were found in possession of lawyers representing Mrs. Jennie Thomas, McCoy's sister. The jewelry, recovered by detectives of the district attorney's office, was given to Mrs. Thomas by McCoy shortly after Mrs. Mors was killed, it was charged. Recovery of the jewelry, District Attorney Keyes said, fastened the murder of the woman definitely on McCoy with robbery as the motive. The jewelry, said to have been given Mrs. Thomas by McCoy a few hours after the murder when he visited his sister and told her, according to Mrs. Thomas, he was "afraid" he had killed a woman, was turned over to her lawyers by Mrs. Thomas. Coincident with the recovery of the jewelry, a second sezational development came in the McCoy case this afternoon with the disclosure of what were said to be plans of McCoy's lawyers for his defense. According to well authenticated reports, McCoy's lawyers will adopt the tactics of Attorney Clarence Darrow in the Leopold-Leeb case and plead McCoy guilty to the murder charge, at the same time offering evidence of McCoy's alleged insanity as a mitigating circumstance to save him from the gallows. Well dressed and showing no agitation, McCoy made his first appearance in court today since his arrest. He was arraigned before Judge Crail on the grand jury indictment charging him with having murdered Mrs. Mors, having shot three other persons and robbed four others. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.—Pleas of "not guilty" to each of the eight separate counts of the grand jury indictment returned yesterday charging him with the murder of Mrs. Teresa Mors, shooting of three other persons and robery of four others, were expected to be made by "Kid" McCoy when he appears in court for arraignment today. Judge Charles Crail will probably set the date of McCoy's trial for late in September. McCoy appeared normal today and apparently had had no visions of Mrs. Mors during the night as he claimed to have had Tuesday. Study Of "Scientific Suicide" Lamed For Attempt Upon Life S ANGELES.
