Y. Williams to observe law and motion day Friday. The fact of Rutherford's death was established late yesterday through testimony of his pretty widow, Mrs. Thelma Rutherford, 20, of Orange, L. J. Adair of Fullerton testified that he was sitting in the game which resulted fatally for Rutherford, and that he saw the struggle between Rutherford and Noble. His description of the fight was vague. He made the one significant statement that he thought he saw a knife in Noble's hand. He did not see the finish of the struggle as he sought safety in flight through a rear door in the house. Roy Rhodes, who said he through testimony of his pretty widow, Mrs. Thelma Rutherford, 20, of Orange, L. J. Adair of Fullerton testified that he was sitting in the game which resulted fatally for Rutherford, and that he saw the struggle between Rutherford and Noble. His description of the fight was vague. He made the one significant statement that he thought he saw a knife in Noble's hand. He did not see the finish of the struggle as he sought safety in flight through a rear door in the house. Roy Rhodes, who said he was the pal of the dead man, gave a more detailed description of the fight. When Rutherford demanded a cut in the cards Noble, who was dealing, refused, Rhodes said, and the fight started. Rhodes testified that he saw Noble plunge a knife into Rutherford's neck. Rutherford's body was found later. In his coupe but so far it had not been established how it got there. A knife said to have been found at the foot of the stairs near where the struggle took place and which the defense may contend Rutherford used as a weapon was expetended to be introduced into the evidence Saturday when the case is taken up and provide one of the main items in the defense claim. EXPECT CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER SAN DIEGO, Sept. 12.—A manslaughter charge was expected to be filed today against Charles Allen, local "sandwich king" and former candidate for mayor, as the aftermath of an auto accident Tuesday in which Allen's car is allowed to have run down and killed Arthur Easterbrook, 12, acording to an announcement from the district attorney's office. A coroner's jury yesterday returned a verdict holding Allen, who was driving the car at the time, responsible for the lad's death. It was testified at the inquest that the boy was five feet off the highway when struck. BODIES OF UNCLE AND GIRL FOUND WAGONER, Okla., Sept. 12.—Lying in pools of clothed blood, the bodies of 16-year-old Ellen Shaw and her uncle, Oscar Shaw, 30, were found today in a patch of weeds a mile from their home, five miles northeast of Wagoner. That the girl was slain by the man, who in turn turned the weapon upon himself to blot out his own life, was the verdict of a coroner’s jury, quickly assembled. Officials declared the belief that Shaw secretly entertained a love for the girl and that the tragedy was the outburst of his disappointment when she rejected his advances. INFANTRY REACHES FULL STRENGTH MIAMI TO OPEN NEW RACE TRACK NEW YORK, Sept. 12—About three-quarters of a million dollars will be expended on the new race track now nearing completion at Miami, Florida, according to E. G. Sewell, President of the Miami Chamber of Commerce who arrived here from the south recently. “This is the estimate” said Sewell, “of President Joseph M. Smoot, of the Miami Jockey Club who is now in New York. Covered with a deep layer of clay colored marl from the beds of the Florida Everglades, the track is said by experts to be one of the fastest in the country. The skeleton of the grandstand of reinforced concrete and steel is up; and it will be something lew in race track grandstands, as it will permit people to stand on the levels without interfering with the wisdom of those behind It is the plan to conduct the races on a very high plane, and we hope to attract a class racing people similar to those attendant at Saratoga.” The track is located at Hialeah about three miles from the city limits of Miami, and will be reached by a new branch line now being rushed to completion by the Florida East Coast Railway Company, and by many off-road roads, motor buses and automobiles. Hundreds of taxis will be put on in the service. Smoot has announced the following pursues and dates: Starting Thursday, January 15, 1925, for a meeting of fifty-one days, close on Saturday, March 14, there will be a disbursement of an average of $7,500 in daily purses, with overnight handicaps worth $1,500 to $2,000 and $2,- Frank Godchaux, the Los Angeles movie actor representing Flintridge Club, squeezed out a hard won victory over Ed Neltzel, Los Angeles, in a match that went to the 20th green and seemed at one time to have been won by Neltzel. E. S. (Scotty) Armstrong, Los Angeles veteran of many state tournaments, went into the semi-finals by overwhelming the San Francisco Olympic Club's young star, George Ritchie, 5 and 4. The semi-finals tomorrow will bring together in 36 hole match play Godchaux and Wilhelm and Webster and Armstrong. MURPHY ANOTHER BIG PRIZE WINNER SYRACUSE, N.

U. S. FAVORITE FOR WALKER CUP GARDEN CITY, N. Y., Sept. 12 The United States Walker cup teams scored decisively over the invading Britishara this afternoon, winning three of the four ball foursome matches on the first day's program. Michael Scott and Robert Scott, Jr., won the only British victory, defeating W. C. Fownes and Bobby Jones, one up in the 26-hole match after the Americans had gained a lead of three holes in the morning round. The matches today gave the Americans a lead of three points to one. Eight singles matches will be played tomorrow. GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB, PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 12—These hospitable shores will play host to the Davis cup for another twelve months as a result of the Tilden-Johnston combination's victory over Patterson and O'Hara Wood of Australia in the challenge round doubles this afternoon, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 and 6-1. It was the third straight victory of the series for the Americans and renedered the remaining matches without value, except for purposes of exhibition. Two singles are scheduled for tomorrow, but they have no significance. Australia could not win now with a congressional investigation. The crowd today numbered less than 8,000 and was conspicuous for its absence of enthusiasm. Apparently the fact that America has successfully defended the trophy since 1920 has begun to pall. The Australian's play was futile and inept after they carried the opening set 7-5, before Til. SARGUM PROUTINGS Dee Holder, who received his elementary school at Centralia, his high schooling with a year's post graduate work at the local high school, is home again after a five year college course at the University of California. Dee once held down the hot corner on the local high school base ball team. While in the north Dee was too busy learning the mysteries of Blackstone to take athletics. Dee is a full fledged lawyer now and may locate in Anaheim to play his trade. Many of Dee's old friends would welcome him back to the fold again and all those who know him feel certain of his success here or where he may locate. The amateur wrestling championships of the coast will be staged at the Hollywood Athletic club. Our old friend, Carl Johnson, is instructor for the club in wrestling. There will be some wonderful matches pulled off in the championship trials. Russel Vis, the world's 145-pound champion, will do his stuff as will Robin Reed of Portland, world's 133-pound champion. The club is preparing to take care of a large list of participants. There will be six classes in competition: bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight and heavy weight. These championships matcha will be worth going to see. Harry Willa proved beyond a doubt that he is the master of Luis Angel Firpo.

In a benefit sport carnival held in Cleveland, Charley equalled his own record of 100 yards, established a new record for the 135 and 175 yard sprints. Charles says that he is through till the 1925 Olympics. The Angels picked up a nice piece of change and have two ball players coming when Young Root was sold to the Cubs. Doc Crandall has made a star of the youngster. When he joined the Angels this spring he had a fast ball and a cool head. Dos started right in to teach too kid how to change his pace and put some kinks on the ball; results, Mr. Root is the strikeout king of the coast pitchers to date. All of his teammates predict that he will make good with Bill Killiford's Cubs. George Stisler has recalled or exercised his option out of Outfielder Durst of the Angels. Durst was slow in getting started with the Angels but has been playing very consistent ball since the first few weeks. He is hitting well over the .300 mark and as a great fielder. He secured two home runs at the Washington Park yesterday. He will not report to the Browns till next season. The Dodgers are within one-half game of the Giants. They won while the champs were idle yesterday. The Yankees are making a deferred fight to regain the lead on the Senators, and the Senators are just as determined that they will stay in the lead. This big league finish is going to leave a lot of the gambling folk with a long hard winter ahead, and with nothing but ar, empty purse to keep the icicle man away. Jimmy McAlly of the Angels was thought to be through last season. The fans were crying for his scalp; now those same fens are cheering the little shortstop every day. He is playing the most remarkable fielding game since joining the Angels and he is hitting well. Just what gave him his new lease on life is not known but he is acting just like a kid breaking in. He gets them if he has to stand on one ear in so doing. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium. Regret all I NOT GET Regret was expressed Jack Hebson, local American post adjutant, than form flag decorations in some parts of the district.

Firpo's head hit the floor. he went down and few looked for further activities. But the bull was clean, straight, game. His standing up before Willis' body punishment for the rest of the fight proved that. Ever and anon, he shot the famed right for Willis' head, but it landed all too seldom and even then it seemed to lack power. It is probable that the arm was debanded by Willis' vice-like clutch in the clinches, the secro using his superior strength to splice Firpo's favorite weapon every time they got in close. But why, when he discovered that Firpo was harmless, he failed to open up and try for a knockout in the late round, will forever remain a mystery to the writer. Only by a knockout could Willis hope to convince the skeptics. Yet he made no serious attempt to score one after the second round. REGRET ALL DID NOT GET FLAGS Regret was expressed today by Jack Hebson, local American Legion post adjutant, that the uniform flag decorations were missing in some parts of the business district. He said that the legion regrets that these merchants were away when the post solicitor called, and also that the legion is sorry it did not order about 200 or 300 extra to supply the demand, that they will see all are called on and additional flags placed before Armistice Day celebration. He said that many had been sold to residents, and anyone desiring one of the flags at their residence may get in touch with him within the next two weeks. He urged everyone to turn out for the Defense Test program tonight. HARTLEY LEADS SEATTLE, Sept. 12.—With 114 precincts in the state to be heard from, Col. Roland H. Hartley, of Everett, leads P. L.

By DR. FRANK McCOY (Author of "The Fast Way to Health") Dr. Frank McCoy, who is nationally known as a diet specialist and diagnostician has consented to contribute a series of daily articles to the Orange County Plain Dealer. This column will be a special feature, commencing with today's edition. Dr. McCoy has enjoyed a most successful practice in Los Angeles for over eleven years. For the past three years the Doctor and his staff of fifteen assistants have occupied the entire third floor of the Brack Shops, Grand-ave. at Seventh-st., Los Angeles, Calif., where thousands of patients have been successfully treated and given a new lease on life. He believes strongly in fruit fasts and usually recommends orange juice to patients before giving special diets. He is often referred to as the "Orange Juice" doctor. His latest book, "The Fast Way to Health," is procurable at the various libraries and book stores throughout California and gives one a splendid idea of Dr. McCoy's rather unique views regarding the prevention and cure of all diseases by the use of proper foods and exercise; good habits and a general method of right living and thinking. This book has aroused much discussion and created quite a furore in medical circles. THE MIND AND DIGESTION It appears that every cell of the body has a kind of intelligence of its own. The instinctive habits of growth, motion, and assimilation are the result of the process of thought in each cell, of which we are ordinarily not consciously aware, but which is going on in every cell of the human body. The various groups of cells making up the different organs are also possessed of group intelligence which controls the action of that organ. It is still more or less of a mystery just where the intelligence originates which controls the functioning of the lungs, heart, digestion, etc., but the potent fact remains that the central governing power of the conscious mind is able so to direct the mental forces in the cells that this cell intelligence may be stimulated to more perfect functioning, or depressed enough to cause sickness and even death. We are all sufficiently familiar with the sudden phenomenon of shock to the body produced by unexpected bad news, and to the sensation in the solar plexus caused by fear or anger. This acute effect upon the body has been observed by everyone at some time or other, but because recovery is so rapid very little serious thought is given to it. All psychologists, however, agree that about nine-tenths of our thinking is unconscious, that is to say, instinctive or becomes so much a habit that we are not aware of it. Yet it is these unconscious processes of thought from which we receive most good or harm, according as their nature is constructive or destructive. To Be Continued CYPRESS CYPRESS, Sept. 12.
