FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1924 Whole County Laughs at Old Barrel-House Cartoon The Plain Dealer: While the whole county is laughing at the discomfiture of Thomas Crawford, with the old ghost of that famous barrel-house meeting to haunt him, I want to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Hartranft for adopting such a mouth-piece for his campaign. With the Bulletin-Herald and Crawford espousing Mr. Hartranft's campaign, Mr. Allen might just as well take a vacation. Nothing could have brot home quicker to voters the fact that the same old machine is backing Mr. Hartranft. Since it is apparently Mr. Crawford's idea of an effort to show the capacity for service of his candidate to indulge wholesale in personalities and billingsgate and since my "feeble efforts" required three columns of explanation in the Bulletin-Herald last night, I believe the voters would like to have Mr. Crawford explain a few more things. These should keep Mr. Crawford busy until next Tuesday. On Wednesday it is quite likely he will have something else to explain. Isn't it a fact, Mr. Crawford, that in your numerous misstatements last night you knew that many voters would recognize them such. For instance, your statement that The Plain Dealer defended J. R. Abernathy in the move to oust him from the head of the grammar schools! It wasn't even necessary to turn to the files to know it was The Plain Dealer which aired that whole affair. Just as it is the one paper in Anaheim which always turns the searchlight of publicity where it is most needed. People haven't such short memories. You know, they remembered that barrel-house meeting. You knew of course that the award of arbitrators in the dispute between Anaheim school trustees and A. L. Gribling contractor was final; that Gribling's representative wound Mr. Hartranft expenditure for buildings at Pullerton, demanding a high school at Brea, and that Placeenia is demanding a junior high school. And how do you explain that under the administration of Mr. Hartranft a local packing house association has employed foreign labor almost to the total exclusion of Americans. Why such discrimination? And now as to your own qualification as an exponent of good government: Why did the Anaheim Herald, which you started with money subscribed by Anaheim drys, flop to the support of the wets and the rest of the old gang whom the Bulletin-Herald is still supporting? How do you think your writings are received by orange growers, members of Exchange packing houses which fell for the purchase of your marmalade plant and employment of you as manager on a five-year contract at $8000 per year? You don't think they have forgotten how the rotten stuff you manufactured was turned back by the carload and the whole experience cost orange growers thousands of dollars, including the several thousand dollars on account of your contract. Still further, how about the roseate dreams you painted for the poor suckers in that Guatemala land scheme? As I said before, explanation of the 'above, at three columns per each "feeble effort," should keep you busy until election day. Then on Wednesday we will be interested to hear what you have to say, if anything. The writer is asking for no favors from anyone. All he asks is an environment in which Christian work is possible. When he came to Anaheim he found wet politicians in charge of the affairs of the city. Bootlegging was widespread. The writer made an attack and the force of it did not REPORT FEAR OF CHINESE CONFLICT SHANGHAI, Aug. 22—Chinese sources tonight declared an outbreak of war between the provinces of Ckekiang and Kiangsu and involving five provinces is imminent hourly. The conflict will center in the Shanghai district located in Kiangsu province and the corner of the largest foreign settlement. Troops are rushing to the vicinity of Shanghai. Naval detachments are reported en route from Poo Chow and Nankin to bombard the Woo Sung forest at the mouth of the Yangtze river. Chinese financial circles are panic stricken. Four big native banks suspended today and others are vorging on bankruptcy. International settlement authorities in whose keeping are the lives of foreigners tonight cancelled all police leaves and made preparations for the defense of the settlement in the event of an outbreak. CITY ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN PLANNED Anaheim C. of C. directors late yesterday decided to put into the hands of a Los Angeles advertising concern the work of preparing the advertisements which are being inserted in Southern California Business, the organ of the Los Angeles C. of C., and the Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore. This step will cost the local body nothing, and will mean much for satisfactory presentation. A Santa Ana man who has patented a paper cutter to be used by merchants, a seisors sharpened hairpin, etc., EDWARDS REFUSES ANY TESTIMONY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22—Two alleged notorious So. Calif. bands came face to face here today when J. L. Edwards, the "silk hat" bandit, took the witness stand at the trial of Harry J. Dunlap, "budge bandit."

Jankes Wilson, state witness, who struck Dunlap in the face in the courtroom yesterday, appeared in court today and was released by Judge Crail untill next Thursday when he must answer for contempt of court. VIGOROUS PROTEST PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug. 22—Vigorous protest was voiced here today by both the Democratic and Republican county central committees when summons was served demanding the appearance of the county recorder in court to show why the names of more than 200 patients in the U.S. veterans hospital at Whipple, near here, should not be stricken from the list of registered voters. The action demanding the removal of the veterans' names was filed by John E. Russell, Prescott attorney, who charged the former soldiers are living on a military reservation and have no right to vote in this county. "HUMAN GORILLA" DIES IN HIS CELL CANON CITY, Colo., Aug. 22—Antonio Neroni, known as the "human gorilla," serving a life sentence in the Colorado state prison was found dead in his cell yesterday, the result officials say, of a terrific beating administered by a fellow prisoner. Anaheim C. of C. directors late yesterday decided to put into the hands of a Los Angeles advertising concern the work of preparing the advertisements which are being inserted in Southern California Business, the organ of the Los Angeles C. of C., and the Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore. This step will cost the local body nothing, and will mean much for satisfactory presentation. A Santa Ana man who has patented a paper cutter to be used by merchants, a scissors sharpener, auto eye shade, hairpin, etc., applied for the gift of five acres of land, on which he proposed to obtain a loan with which to erect a factory building.

SAY THEY MARRIED WHILE INTOXICATED SEATTLE, Aug. 22.—Frankly admitting a bigamous marriage, which they said had been consummated while both were under the influence of drink, Marius A. Miller, 40, wealthy California building contractor, and Mrs. Delphine Schuller, 20, nurse to Mrs. Miller, an invalid for 14 years, were held in the King-co jail here today for authorities of San Rafael-co, Calif.

"HUMAN GORILLA" DIES IN HIS CELL CANON CITY, Colo., Aug. 22.—Antonio Neroni, known as the "human gorilla," serving a life sentence in the Colorado state prison was found dead in his cell yesterday, the result officials say, of a terrific beating administered by a fellow prisoner. Neroni, a man of stupendous build, is said by the authorities to have attacked a fellow convict. Robinson by name, after the latter had warded off Neroni from a crowd of visitors to the insane ward. Robinson is said to have disarmed Neroni and administered a severe beating. Early this morning a guard sent to the cell occupied by Neroni to ascertain his condition and to see to his wants, found the man dead. Neroni was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1917 after having been convicted of the murder of four persons, a woman and three men on his truck farm a short distance from the state prison.
