UNCLE REMIENT ATTRACTION TONIGHT Most Elaborate Proof Of Auto Show Will Given This Evening The most varied and elastical program of any evening Automobile Show will be tonight at Pythian Temple Uncle Remus, well known Makes "Business Speech" To Several Hundred New Yorkers WASHINGTON, Oct. 23—Pres. Coolidge replied softly but pointedly today to those of his political opponents who have been criticizing his administration for being identified too intimately with the big business interests of the country. He made a "business speech" to a delegation of several hundred New York business men who made a pilgrimage to the "back porch" of the White House and in the course of it he took occasion to promise, that if elected, the business interests of the country could expect an administration that understands business." The president's audience was made up of members of the executive committee of the New York Businessmen's Republican Aunts. "You gentlemen who have come here in behalf of business come to speak for an interest that far surpasses any other in the American community." "This is a business country pre-eminent in all kinds of business, industrial and agricultural, and it wants a business government." "I do not mean by that a government by business nor a government for business. But I do mean a government that will understand business. I mean a Government able to establish the most possible relations between the people in the business capacity, and the people in their social capacity." "It is not possible in a country like ours to pick business up in a gingerly fashion and set it off to one side for a careful examination, as if it were something apart from the country as a whole. To treat business in our American life as if it were a thing apart would be impossible. It is a part of our national life." The president entered a warm defense of "things as they are." "Our economic system," he declared, "is fundamentally sound. It has provided our people with the highest standard of comfort the greatest security of life, that is enjoyed by any nation. It has assured us of the greatest range of opportunities that men have ever enjoyed. It does, indeed, contain some abuses. But these abuses are emphasized all out of due proportion by those who indulge in the habit of expressing themselves in exaggerated ways." SHENANDOAH FLYING IN TEXAS FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 23. "The navy dirigible Shenandoah was reported passing over Pecos, 401 miles from Fort Worth at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon, in a telegram to newspapers here. Buffetted as she is by the strong north winds, the big airship is not expected now to reach here before early tomorrow morning. TOYAH, Tex., Oct. 23. The Shenandoah passed over Toyah, 320 miles from Fort Worth at 2:45. The ship seemed to have difficulty in facing the wind and was flying at an angle. FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 23. Fighting stiff north winds that had reduced her speed to 30 miles an hour, the giant navy dirigible Shenandoah, straining under a buffeting that taxed her five 300-horsepower motors to the utmost, with Sierra Blanca in her wake, was struggling toward Pecos, over 300 miles from Fort Worth at 11 o'clock, central standard time this morning. Brief radio communication with Commander Lanadowne indicated that the airship would probably reach Fort Worth at about 10 o'clock tonight, six hours behind the previously arranged schedule.

It has provided our people with the highest standard of comfort the greatest security of life, that is enjoyed by any nation. It has assured us of the greatest range of opportunities that men have ever enjoyed. It does, indeed, contain some abuses. But these abuses are emphasized all out of due proportion by those who indulge in the habit of expressing themselves in exaggerations. "The primary correction of abuses lies in the hands of those who administer intervention. Already they have made great advances in this direction. Their sense of responsibility has made steady growth during the last two score years. "These are the lines of real progress. To tear down a system under which so much of genuine progress has been accomplished in so short a period, merely because of minor defects that have not yet been entirely eliminated, would be a policy of destruction. We need not fear that the American community will commit itself to such a policy. It is the long expressed genius of the American people to build up, to construct. That genius was never more vigorous, never more intent on exercising itself than now. It will still continue to be supreme in our country." The primary thing necessary in this country, Coolidge said, was to "preserve the initiative and enterprise of men." But he also declared that the freedom of initiative and enterprise carried with it a responsibility and "stern obligation" on those who enjoyed it. This responsibility he said, is three-fold: a duty to the safeguard of the savings of those who invest in business; a duty to the employees of every business establishment, and lastly, a duty to render efficient service to the public."

Woman 61, Who Sacrificed So For Niece, 5, May Not Survive SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 23.—The heroism of Mrs. T. G. Kelly, 61, who repeatedly slashed herself with broken glass to feed blood to her five-year-old niece as they lay in the bottom of a lonely canyon for more than three days following an auto crash in which the brave woman's husband was killed, will probably cost her life. The announcement was made today by physicians attending Mrs. Kelly. The medical men state that Mrs. Kelly has slowly been sinking since she was taken home yesterday afternoon and that the result of exposure, shock, loss of blood and injuries sustained in the accident have sapped her strength and unless she rallies during the day, they fear she cannot live.

Other dealers have considered DAVIS SAYS DEMOCRATS WILL WIN ABOARD THE DAVIS SPECIAL EN ROUTE TO CLEVELAND, Oct. 23.—John W. Davis carried his personal drive into the middle of Ohio's three-cornered presidential race in an eleventh hour effort to capture the Buckeye state's 24 electoral votes. While the Democratic nominee remained hopeful of an Ohio victory, he received confidential reports as soon as he catered the state that he was running second to President Coolidge in pre-election forecasts. His visit was arranged, however, in the hope of spurring the Democratic state machine into closing the campaign with an enthusiastic spirit. Davis told his "board of strategy" today that he felt he could sweep Ohio into the Democratic column if the state machine spurted its drive for votes from now until election day. He based this feeling on the division in the Republican party due to the strength accorded Sen. Robert M. LaFollet. SHOW SIDE LIGHT "The Chrysler is the prettiest car on the floor. Many people have told us so," said Bill Hauser of the Frank P. Taggart Co., to Bob Boney of the J.E.Walter Co."They meant the prettiest as far as they had gone," said Boney, whose Jordans, in unusual circuit keeping to the right are among the last cars viewed. "The great straight line eight goes well with any complexion," continued Boney. THE drinks are on Claude Weadon these days. Weadon, who has the confectionery and ice cream concession, concedes he hasn't been able to do much business because of the cool evenings. If this week were last, it would be entirely different, says Claude. THE spirit of the show is well-expressed in some jingles "The Go-Getter" by Robert Bruce Thurber in Service Digest, some stanzas of which we quote: The Go-Getter goes till he gets what he goes for; The Go-Getter goes till he gets what he sows for; He fixes a goal and resolves when he sets it. The way to a goal is to go till he gets it. There’s many an auto equipped with a starter. That starts up the hill like the charge of a Tartar! But soon it is found to have also a stopper! Sacrificed Self Day Not Survive This morning, Mrs. Kelly was weak that all persons were kept on her home. Police officials strolled the neighborhood to maintain quiet and every precaution was afforded by the municipality that would in any way aid the work of her physicians. The little girl, Meredith Watery, was also concerned to bed but her condition was reported less grave. While sufferers from hunger and thirst, as well as exposure, the tot was expected to fully recover. She was unable to add any details to the story told by Mrs. Kelly yesterday when she was discovered in which she explained how she had stashed her wrists and breasts to feed the little girlood in an effort to keep her live. REMOVAL SALE at McDONALD'S state that he was running second to President Coolidge in pre-election forecasts. His visit was arranged, however, in the hope of apurring the Democratic state machine into closing the campaign with an enthusiastic spirit. Davis told his "board of strategy" today that he felt he could sweep Ohio into the Democratic column if the state machine spurted its drive for votes from now until election day. He based this feeling on the division in the Republican party due to the strength accorded Sen. Robert M. LaFollette throutout the labor ranks in the state. The nominee plainly indicated that he planned to devote part of his Cleveland speech tonight to an attempt to win the support of Ohio labor away from LaFollette. A series of reports from eastern Democratic chieftains, relative to the situation along the Atlantic seaboard, put the candidate in good humor this morning. Davis was informed that he was gaining strength daily throughout the east. To visitors on his train he openly predicted his election, declaring that 1924 would be a repetition of "the revolts of 1890 and 1912." "In 1890," he said, "the Populist revolt split the Republican party wide open and paved the way for Grover Cleveland's victory two years later. In 1923 the Bull Moose revolt lead to the election of Woodrow Wilson and another Democratic victory. "Between these two factions of the Republican party this year, there stands the great body of liberal thought embodied. "It wants to see every man, woman and child have a fair chance in the race of life. It wants a government that plays no favorites and punishes no enemy, but holds the scales of justice fair and square before every man, woman and child in the land. "The Democratic party is not afraid to make experiments, but values the great institutions and traditions of the past. It stands today as it has stood for a century and a half, the guardian of the American constitution and watchman over American ideals. That is the reason it will win November 4." FLORIDA MOVEMENT OF FRUIT LIGHTER Florida shipments of citrus fruit have been light thus far as compared with most previous years. At the end of the second week in October no oranges had been shipped and only 324 cars of grapefruit, compared with 241 cars and 1,186 cars respectively, last year. Late maturing of fruit and decision to defer the opening of the season until after Oct. 10 are mainly responsible. The government's estimate of 13,400,000 boxes of oranges made in September has been repeated in October.

COUNSEL M AUTO EXHIBITION LOCATE TORN PORTION OF FALL NOTE "Found" in Pocket of One of Doheny's Attorneys LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23.—During the height of a dramatic scene within the staid court room of Federal Judge Paul J. McCormick here today, Mrs. E. L. Doheny. THE rivalry between auto salesmen is well known. Speaking of rivalry, everyone has heard the story illustrating the mutual respect of the Twin Cities when, at a get-together meeting, a Minneapolis man suggested one name be adopted for both cities—Minneaha—Minnie for Minneapolis and give St. Paul the ha ha. The following story is a little more recent: Recently a Minneapolis man drifted into St. Paul, looked superciliously at a water melon, picked it up and with a sneer asked, "Is this the largest apple you have in St. Paul?" "Uptown," yelled the St. Paul fruit man. ADVERVE STANDARD CAR OF ORANGES Approval of a standard car of oranges, in which sizes are approved, by most of the Florida shippers is announced here. Not over 10 per cent or 46 boxes of 250s not over 5 per cent of 288s or 23 boxes, and the rest larger is the way the division is made in this standard car, which will prevail until Jan. 1 when it will be changed again. The result will be more uniform prices. TELLS QUEER TALE LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23.—Jean Dougherty, pretty 17-year-old girl, who told a story of being brutally attacked by a stranger when found in a dishevelled condition on a lonely highway, confessed the police today that a large part of INVITE BIG LEAGUERS TO PARTY Twenty to thirty thousand feet of orange and black will canopy West Center-st. between Los Angeles and Lemon for the Halloween street dance.

Reid of the C. of C. and Merchants and Manufacturers' Ass'n. Entries in both the parade and window dressing contest continue to pour in. These announcements, made today by Reid, indicate that the double event of Oct. 30 will be one of the most successful celebrations yet undertaken by the city. Tonight Reid, W. P. Grafton, chairman of the general committee and H. E. W. Barnes will go before city council and ask for an appropriation of $100 toward expenses. The judges' stand will be located at Center and Los Angeles-st. "Found" in Pocket of One of Doheny's Attorneys LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23.—During the height of a dramatic scene within the staid court room of Federal Judge Paul J. McCormick here today, Mrs. E. L. Doheny, wife of the millionaire oil magnate who is the target of government attorneys attempting to cancel valuable leases he holds in the Elk Hills reserve, revealed that the missing portion of the famous $100,000 Doheny-Fall note which has been the object of a search by government operatives for the last year, reposed in the pocket of one of the attorneys in the court room. The disclosure of this startling information, coming calmly as it did from the lips of the well-known social leader, became a stunning blow to the attorneys who had called upon her to testify against her millionaire husband. The fragment of the note was not displayed in the court but when asked by newspapermen if Mrs. Doheny's statement was correct, the attorney named by her answered in the affirmative. He said he would produce the signature at a later date. He also declared that the missing fragment had been carefully compared with photographs of the original document held by the government attorneys and that it compared in every detail at the point of separation. Early today, Atlee Pomerene, heading the government legal staff called Mrs. E. L. Dohney, wife of the petroleum magnate, to the witness stand. It was his purpose to question her regarding the "black bag" transaction in which former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall was given $100,000 in cash by her husband. Her appearance in the courtroom caused a dramatic scene. When called upon to take the witness stand, Pomerene turned to Doheny and asked: "Have you any objection to testimony we might elicit from your wife in this case pending against you?" The question was asked in conformity with a rule of law which reserves the right of a wife to testify against her husband. Dohney informed the court that he did not object to Mrs. Doheny's appearance as a witness for the prosecution and she walked slowly to the witness chair. The first question asked her by Pomerene was: "Mrs. Doheny, do you know what became of the missing portion of the note given your husband by Mr. Fall in 1921 in cou TELLS QUEER TALE LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23.—Jean Dougherty, pretty 17-year-old girl, who told a story of being brutally attacked by a stranger when found in a dishevelled condition on a lonely highway, confessed the police today that a large part of her tale was pure fabrication. She stated that she was married and had a child 18 months old. She maintained she was, separated from her husband.

Buchtel, 77, president emeritus of Denver University and a former governor of Colorado, is dead at his home here today, following a long illness. Council Working Wonders With City’s 30-Acre Valencia Grove City council is working wonders with the 30-acre sewer farm on the Garden Grove-rd. With exception of about one acre, which was used by septic tanks, the entire ranch is set to oranges of an age that should be producing some real revenue. The Ihmhof tanks remain but the sludge tanks have been removed, leaving about half an acre vacant in which trees will be set out. The condition of the grove was not good when the present council took office. There were great quantities of Bermuda grass and the trees had been neglected and needed fumigation. The grove has been fumigated and grass, weeds and dead brush have been removed. The ranch is in first class condition. The kind of care has been given that will make this a very productive grove, making it more saleable if the city desires to dispose of the property or, if not, laying the foundation for profitable production in the future. The gross yield this year was about $5,000 from nearly 2800 packed boxes. Irrigation runs were 40 rods, across ten acres. In order to facilitate irrigation and to make it more effective, there were installed three cross lines, making runs one-half what they were. After sewage was cut off, water for irrigation was at first obtained from West Anahiem Water Co. Later, a well was developed. Irrigation now costs about one-fourth what was paid the water company. The well cost approximately $3000. It is a 12-inch hole, 300 feet deep, giving 100 inches of water. In another year it is more than likely additional acreage will be furnished water which will further reduce the expense. The question was asked in conformity with a rule of law which reserves the right of a wife to testify against her husband. Dohney informed the court that he did not object to Mrs. Doheny's appearance as a witness for the prosecution and she walked slowly to the witness chair. The first question asked her by Pomerene was: "Mrs. Doheny, do you know what became of the missing portion of the note given your husband by Mr. Fall in 1921 in consideration of a purported loan of $100,000?" "Yes," Mrs. Doheny answered. Pomerene seemed startled by the unexpected answer and paused a few moments before resuming his quipting. "Do you know where it is now?" "Why, it's in Mr. Hogan's pocket," she replied, referring to Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel for Doheny. Asked to tell circumstances surrounding the mutilation of the note, Mrs. Doheny said: "I was going thru some papers in a safety deposit box at a Los Angeles bank, when I found the piece of paper." She said she spoke to her husband about it and told him where it was. Under further questioning she related how the note became torn. Mrs. Doheny declared that the signature of Mr. Fall was deliberately torn off the note in the New York apartment of the Doheny's shortly after the document had been executed. This was done, she said, after Dohney had declared that he did not want the note to be found if "anything happened to him." She said that her husband gave her the part bearing Fall's signa-(Continued on Page Two) Alumni Players Friday evening. Third Annual Pythian Masquerade, Saturday Night, 25th.
