Garden Grove Boy Puts Revolver to Breast After Quarrel
Fearing his sweetheart Vera Williams, preferred another to himself, Edwin Elliott, 20, of Garden Grove, while out riding with her last evening, shot himself through the breast in an unsuccessful attempt to kill himself. He will recover unless blood poisoning sets in, according to Dr. Frank Kerr, who attended him.
The boy now lies at the Santa Ana Valley Hospital, where a specialist is attending him. He is the son of R. W. Elliott of Garden Grove, retired. The father is well-to-do.
The girl, who is about 18, is the daughter of Jack Williams, proprietor of a filling station in the town.
Both families are well-known in and about Garden Grove.
According to the girl's story, the boy had wanted to come over and call that night, but she refused, declaring that she had to study. "Oh," he said, "there's somebody else, then" or words to that effect. Then, said the girl, he pulled out the pistol, and before she could prevent him turned it against his left breast and fired.
The bullet passed thru his body, following the ribs, and came out the back without touching any vital part.
The shooting took place about 4:30. They had been driving toward Fullerton, and the girl turned back and took him to the nearby Physician, Dr. Keir, near Men Grove, who after cleaning out the wound called an ambulance and had the boy removed to the Santa Ana hospital.
The two had been going together about a year and had frequent quarrels, the girl said.
She had been in the habit of using his car to drive to school. He was not attending school.
The car in which they were riding was the boy's Studebaker roadster, and the revolver, said to have been a Derringer 92 automatic, was found in the bottom of the machine.
The boy's mother, evidently trying to shield him, asked that the shooting be called an accident.

PEKING, Sept. 18.—President Taso Kim by mandate late today created a supreme command for a military expedition against Marshal Chang Too Lin.
Marshal Wu Pei Fu, as generalissimo, will soon move his headquarters to Luan Chow.
In an interview he declared he was in position to place 200,000 soldiers in the field against the Manchurian war lord and in case of emergency increase this number to 400,000.
Wu during the interview expressed himself as "confident that Chang is inviting disaster to himself by his warlike moves."
"According to reports we have received," Wu said. "Chang has practically exhausted his resources to maintain 100,000 troops, which is just one-half the force the government is putting into the field within the next week or two."
Wu's military organization covers three army corps divided into ten sectors, it was announced. The Christian general, Feng Yuh Siang, commanding the third army, is leaving Peking during the week to direct operations against Chang. Gen. Wang Hui Ching commanding the second left Peking today for Chao Kero.
Ang's troops are considered weak and will hold the center of the government's line south of the "Great Wall." Thus inviting Chang to break thru. When this occurs, it is planned for the seasoned troops of Marshal Wu Pei Fu and Gen. Feng Yuh Siang to close in on his rear from either side cutting Chang off from his base at Muken.
The greatest optimism prevails in government circles that Marshal Wu will defeat Chang.
In his interview Wu expressed the hope that Chang might "listen to reason." He said that if other succeeding provinces do not "start war," the government will take no action against them.

REDUCE GOV’T EXPENSES SHARPLY
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—Government operating expenses were slashed $13,400,000 in July and August compared to the first two months of the preceding fiscal year, according to official treasury figures today.
Based on the savings in the last two months governmental “overhead” will be $90,000,000 less in the 1924-25 fiscal year than in 1923-24. If this can be accomplished, high officials of the treasury declared that President Coolidge’s hope for a $180,000,000 surplus in 1926 will be achieved.
The president is keeping in close touch with the preparation of the new budget, which will be submitted to congress in December. It was understood administration officials feel that ordinary expenses may be kept within the three billion mark, as urged by President Coolidge.
Only two government departments showed increases in cost—navy and agriculture. Operation of the navy totalled $63,013,000; an increase of $7,799,000 over July and August, 1923, while expenses of the agriculture department of 130,261,000 were $6,613,000 greater than in the corresponding months of last year.
The U.S. Veterans’ Bureau established a record for economies chiefly as a result of reductions in personnel, operating expenses having been $8,818,000 less in July and August than in the same period of 1923. It cost $62,860,000 to maintain the nation’s war departments and disabled in July and August.
Contrasted to the navy increase, the war department was operated at reduction of approximately $3,300,000 compared to the first two months of the last fiscal year.
The interior and treasury departments showed reductions—more than $3,000,000 for the period.
Ordinary operating expenses of the government in July and August were $396,623,000, compared to $410,0p0,000 last year.
Coburn Declares Money Necessary to Protect Present Investment
County supervisors at 1:30 p.m. today were handed the report of the Committee of Fifty on harbor development by Judge L. F. Coburn of Orange. The report did not recommend the amount of bonds to be asked nor time of election. It recommended harbor entrance and navigation channel be dredged, rebuilding of Jetty, provision for public wharves and warehouses, anchorage basins to economize on channel dredging and that a good business policy be adopted.
Coburn declared more bonds were necessary to protect the large investment already made and declared there was danger in delaying the improvements, pointing out that the jetty was deteriorating.
H. H. Hale of Placentia reported the county had undisputed title to 367 acres of harbor frontage while there was question about title to 44 acres which it is ready to place under control of county. Hale stated the land west of the county highway bridge had not been surveyed but the county believed it was worth more than the costs of the harbor improvements to date, more than three-quarters of a million.
Supervisors spent the afternoon considering the report.
DARROW MAY AID FIGHT FOR GRANT
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Clarene Darrow, chief of the defense counsel in the Leopold-Loeb trial, who planned retirement from active practice with the crowning achievement of his career—life sentences for the slayers of Robert Frankz—today was preparing to enter the lists again, this time to fight for the life of Bernard Grant, 19, awaiting execution for the murder of Patrolman Ralph Sounders.
Word of Darrow’s decision to take an active part in the battle for clemency for Grant came this morning to Attorney Thomas E. Swanson, Grant’s counsel, from the veteran defense lawyer who is resting at the Loeb summer estate at Charlevoix, Mich. Darrow advised Swanson that he would come to Chicago for a conference on the Grant case Monday. His message was in response to one sent him by Swanson urging that he lend his aid in the fight as he had offered to do during the progress of the Leopold-Loeb trial.
Just what part Darrow would take in the battle has not been determined but it is expected that he will deliver the plan for clemency to protect the large investment already made and declared there was danger in delaying the improvements, pointing out that the jetty was deteriorating.
