SENATOR EXPECT BIG CROWDS AT AUTO SHOW Owners of Antique Fords May Notify Chairman of Parade Committee If free admissions will do it, the distributors' auto show next week under Plain Dealer auspices at Pythian Temple will draw thousands of people from all over Orange-co. This will be the first indoor auto show ever held in the northern part of the county. Watch for Airship If Whistle Blows If you hear a series of toots from the big whistle on the city powerhouse tomorrow it means the giant dirigible Shenandoah has left San Diego and is on its way to Orange-co. The Plain Dealer will flash the word to the powerhouse if word comes the Shenandoah has started north and a series of short toots will tell the people of Anaheim to be on the watch out. Commander Zackery Lansdowne of the Shenandoah would not say definitely to Plain Dealer inquiries that he would sail over Anaheim. He refused to announce his route further than to say it would be up the coast. Since it is to go to Los Angeles via San Pedro it was that the "Queen of the Air" would travel to the west of Anaheim. It is plainly visible 10 miles. NEW MURDER 3 BANDITS LOS ANGELES GET $25,000 Operating From Trio Holds Up Messenger LOS ANGELES.

Premier Ramsay MacDonald bitterly assailed the Liberty-Tory election pact in campaign speeches in Scotland today. "The Liberals," declared the premier, "have taken shelter under the Tories guns. They had to do this to keep from being wiped out altogether." Under the rumors of the pact, Liberals and Tories agreed to put up only one candidate against the Laborite candidate in districts where the Laborites probably would be elected if the fight was three cornered. DOES NOT CONSIDER FORD OUT ENTIRELY WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—President Coolidge does not consider NEW MURDER IN CHINESE TONG WAR NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Another murder told Chinatown today that the feud between the On Leong and Hip Sing tongs in half a dozen cities is still on, although a "peace conference" had been called here this afternoon. Un Ting, a Chinese employed in a Brooklyn laundry, was shot to death this morning by three men who arrived—and escaped in a taxi-cab. They shot Un after a short argument. Leaders of the two tongs were to meet this afternoon with Dr. Carleton Simon, deputy police commissioner, and a representative of the Chinese consulate at Washington. Dr. Carleton Simon hoped to induce both sides to sign a formal peace treaty, although a previous conference with that object in view, failed of its purpose. The tong feud has made armed camps of New York's Chinatown and the Oriental quarters of adjacent cities and has extended its shootings and murders to cities as far west as Chicago. CHINESE CIVIL WAR RENEWED SHANGHAI, Oct. 14. A renewal of hostilities between the Kiang Su forces and the defeated and leaderless Che Kiang soldiers was reported from Nanziant late tonight. Heavy rifle and machine gun firing broke out there at noon, the report said, and continued throughout the afternoon.

The president further considers, he told inquirers at the White House today, that Ford has merely declined not to press, at this time for congressional acceptance of his offer, but to await further developments. HUGE NEW MOVIE MERGER RUMORED LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14.—Rumors of the formation of a huge new film merger abounded in local motion picture studios today when reports were published that a "shakeup" was pending in the industry.

Heavy rifle and machine gun firing broke out there at noon, the report said, and continued throughout the afternoon.

It was estimated tonight that 10,000 Che Kiang soldiers fully armed have entered the environs of Shanghai and are ranging thru the thorofares of the adjacent settlements in Chinese territory.

West of the Azores we encountered gradually increasing southwest winds, which we were compelled to combat for 12 hours. We took a westerly direction to accomplish this, with a speed gradually decreasing to 30 miles an hour. The wind then shifted to the southwest, with a rapidity of 17 meters a second.

Cowan reported to the police that he was walking in the middle of the block, when the bandit car grew up to the curb and two men, with drawn revolvers, leaped to the sidewalk in front of him and sabbed the satchel containing the money. "Hands up," one of the bandits commanded and Cowan dropped the heavy satchel containing bank deposits as his arms went over its head. While one man held his weapon after the frightened messenger, the other seized the satchel and both jumped back into their machine. The third bandit, who had remained at the wheel of the car thrust the robbery, accelerated the motor and the car sped around next corner out of sight.

SCRAMBLE TO BUY GERMAN SECURITIES NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—There was a scramble on the New York stock exchange at the opening this forenoon for bonds of the new $200,000,000 German loan. They sold to first buyers at 943-8, an advance of 23-8 points over the offering price of the J.P. Morgan syndicate. An advance of so much was considered unusual by traders, accustomed to seeing jumps of an eight-or-a quarter on favored securities. The banking house of Morgan & Co., announced soon after the exchange opened that its books were closed as far as the German loan was concerned, because it was heavily subscribed. Other brokerage houses had taken the same action even before 10 o'clock, the hour of opening. The bonds were offered first to small subscribers seeking amounts of $1000 to $2000. Subscribers for heavier sums had their allotments scaled down. The market, upon its opening here several hours after the start of trading in London, followed the pace set on the exchange there. 3 MORE PETITION WHOLESALE HOUSE: Has Turned Into Northern Steamer Lane Account of Storms to South WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—If the ZR-3 maintains its present rate of speed, it will reach Lakehurst, N.J., tomorrow before noon according to a message received by the navy department from the Radio Corp. of America.

The message also stated that all engines were working at a cruising speed, with a "following breeze." With the near approach of the ZR-3 to her final destination at Lakehurst, the navy department today issued orders recalling the destroyers Patoaka and Detroit from their stations in the north Atlantic as their weather observations will no longer be required by the ZR-3. The cruiser Milwaukee will be recalled when the ZR-3 passes her to the westward. MAKING LINE TO NEW YORK NAVAL AIR STATION, Lakehurst, N.J., Oct. 14—From wireless messages received here, Commander Pearce, acting commandant of this station was led to believe today that D. Hugo Eckener, commanding officer of the ZR-3 was following a course in direct air line from the Azores to New York City. If a direct line is being followed, other officers said, the ZR-3 might be sighted in New York at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow, with arrival here at about 9 a.m. Capt. Anton Heinen, German, and formerly pilot of the Shenandoah, said he thought Eckener might keep the ZR-3 aloft all of tomorrow over land just to demonstrate the ship's reserve power. LAKEHURST, N.J., Oct. 14.—The dirigible ZR-3 will be sighted out of New York at 6 a.m., tomorrow and will cruise over New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington before coming here to land, Commander B.

Both cars were damaged, and a woman in the Ford was slightly cut on the head but not seriously hurt, it is said. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Flying high across white banks of clouds—a veritable white sea of fog banks—the giant dirigible ZR-2 late today was nearing the Sable Islands, slightly more than 160 miles from the Nova Scotia coast line. In a radiogram to International News Service, Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the dirigible, said he expected to be over Sable Islands before 9 o'clock tonight. "For the last three hours we have been above a white sea of fog banks," Commander Eckener's radiogram said. "We are now south of New Foundland. A glorious sunset is streaking the mountainous clouds. Our speed is 80 knots an hour. We expect to make Sable Islands before 9 o'clock." NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—The zeppelin ZR-3 has turned into the northern steamer lane on account of reports of bad weather over the southern route, according to a radiogram received by International News Service, at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon from Commander Hugo Eckener of the air ship.

METCALF THE bond election called for Saturday, October 18th, will be one of the most important ever held in Anaheim. The voter should consider this purely on its merits and from a business standpoint only and not permit his judgment to be influenced otherwise. Before submitting this question to the people the matter was thoroughly and impartially investigated and cost of installation and operation carefully studied and these results, in detail, will soon be published. The conclusion arrived at, was that a municipal lighting plant could easily be operated at no greater and probably less, expense than by the purchase of electricity from the Edison Company. Such being the case, it seems much more satisfactory for the City to handle this public utility which concerns practically every family in the community. A large part of the funds expended for the erection of a municipal plant, will find its way into the pockets of our own people and we shall have established another permanent industry, which will furnish employment to a number of our citizens. Several years ago the City of Anaheim entered into an agreement with the Edison Company, by virtue of which, electricity for light and power was to be furnished at a contract rate of from seven and one-half to nine mills per kilowatt hour. During the war the railway commission, through power legally vested in it, raised the rates previously agreed upon and as a result the people have been compelled to pay many thousands WORRIED BY HEALTH AND FINANCES Body Found by Secretary In Gas-Filled Bathroom Early Today WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 — Frank B.

The deaths occurred in a battle between the adherents of Luis Ramirez Corzo, who claimed their candidate had been elected governor, and a faction supporting Gen. Carlos Vidal. According to the report, the Corozistas who held the town of Tuxla, were stationed on roofs and at other vantage points and when Vidal, a former general in Obregon's army, marched into town at the head of a band of his followers, the party was fired upon when it reached the plaza, resulting in the wholesale slaughter of bystanders and soldiers alike.

Brandegee, of Connecticut, for nearly a quarter of a century a prominent and powerful figure in Republican politics, was found dead in his home here today, a suicide. A servant, going to the third floor of the senator's old fashioned brick residence at 1700 S. St., this morning to summon him to breakfast, found the body, fully clad. It lay on the floor of the bathroom, and above it was an open gas jet pouring forth its deadly fumes. A rubber tube, running from the jet to within a few inches of the parted lips, offered mute testimony of the manner in which death occurred. Death had apparently occurred some hours before and the servant made the discovery of the body at 9:40 o'clock. The servant ran down stairs and summoned police and Dr. E. H. Killtridge, who lives next door. It took but a glance from the physician to tell that the senator was beyond help. Orders were issued not to disturb the body pending the arrival of the coroner. News of the senator's death communicated by friends to the White House and government departments, caused a shock throut official and political circles in Washington, for few members of the senate had a wider acquaintance than the Connecticut senator. The reasons advanced for the senator taking his own life were financial troubles and health, from which he had been a recent sufferer. He was 60 years old. During the last session of the senate, Sen. Brandegee was frequently absent because of ill-health. Sen. Brandegee was one of the veteran Republicans of the senate, sometimes referred to as the "elder statesman" of the party. He began going to Republican national conventions in 1888, when only three years out of college, and he was a prominent altho not always consolible figure, at each succeeding convention. He was an intimate friend of Col. Geo. Harvey, and was one of the little group of Republican leaders who foregathered in Col. Harvey's room at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago in June of 1920 and selected the late Warren G. Harding as the nominee of the convention. He was an intimate too of the late GRAND LODGE OF MASONS MEETING Many Orange-co Free Masons will attend this week the diamond lodge of California, which began its sessions yesterday at the Blitmore hotel, Los Angeles.

Tentative plans today are for the Shenandoah to leave tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. provided weather reports along the path to be traversed show conditions are ideal. It was expected here today that the storm in the northwest will have passed inland by late today and hope the hop-off will be safe early tomorrow. COOLIDGE REFERS LETTER TO HUGHES WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—President Coolidge will make no immediate reply to Mayor John F. Hyllen of New York, who, in a letter to the White House, has demanded information concerning the security back of the new German loan. It was announced at the White House today that the president will await the return to Washington of Secretary of State Hughes and refer the mayor's letter to him before undertaking a reply. No attention, it was indicated, would be paid to the mayor's observation that "official silence becomes sinister at such a time as this." SHOOT DUCKS IN BIG BEAR VALLEY C. M. Fender and Lewis Schrott of Orangethorpe passed the weekend in the Fender cabin at North Bay, Big Bear valley. A duck hunt was the real incentive of the trip and enough of the tasty birds were shot to pay for the trouble. They went up over the Mill Creek road and found five inches of snow which began at the first control and continued all the way up, the trees bending over the road with the weight of the beaural. The return was made via the desert route. He began going to Republican national conventions in 1888, when only three years out of college, and he was a prominent, altho not always conspicuous figure, at each succeeding convention. He was an intimate friend of Col. Geo. Harvey, and was one of the little group of Republican leaders who foregathered in Col. Harvey's room at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago in June of 1920 and selected the late Warren G. Harding as the nominee of the convention. He was an intimate too, of the late Boise Penrose, of Pennsylvania. The senator began his political career at the age of 24, entering the state assembly of his native Connecticut. At 35, he was speaker of the Connecticut house of representatives and a few years later came to Washington as a congressman. After serving six years in the house, he was elected to the senate in 1905, and was re-elected regularly thereafter. His present term would have expired in 1927. His career in Washington was marked by conservatism and regularity in the councils of his party. While never a leader in the oratory or popular sense of the word, he nevertheless was a powerful and much sought figure in matters pertaining to party policy and procedure. Particularly was this true in the latter days of the Wilson administration, during the memorable fight over the league of nations and the Versailles treaty. Brandegee was one of the most bitter of the "bitter enders" against the league. With Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, he was credited with evolving much of the strategy and policy that ultimately sent the treaty and the league to defeat. His death at this time deprives the Republicans of a little more of their "nominal control" of the senate. It is of particular interest at this time because of the possibility of the forthcoming election being thrown into congress for decision. Upon adjournment in June, (Continued on Page Three)
