VOTERS DISPLAY LITTLE INTEREST
LONDON, Oct. 29. — The first serious disorder in the British general election today was reported from the East End at noon. An auto, flying the union jack, and bearing Capt. E. M. Denny, was attacked and stoned. The chauffeur was wounded. Police drove off the attackers.
Good weather brought out a heavy vote especially on the part of the women. In some districts more women than men voted.
The outcome was shadowed in doubt when the balloting began, despite the rival claims of victory. Many impartial observers looked for a Tory victory, owing to the incident of the Zinoviev letter.
Laborites believed they would gain seats at the expense of both rival parties, particularly the Liberals.
Disorders were reported from some districts, especially in constituencies where the Laborites were making a hard fight.
Winston Churchill, who has met with consistent failure in recent elections, is making another
DESIRE FOR PEACE SPIRIT OF U. S. A.
What is the spirit of America?
Some foreigners, for instance, have said that it was the spirit of money; the chase of the illusive, fluttering banknote and the rolling gold-piece; the very essence in fact, of the almighty dollar. Perhaps these critics have been influenced too much by the fact that many of the Americans they see have usually been occupied in loosening rivers of wealth abroad, spending easily and rushing home to make more money to spend.
Some people, perhaps, would tell you that the spirit of America was the spirit of victory in battle.
But neither of these views would be correct. True it is that, as some epineut statesman has said, America has "never lost a war or won a conference." But it is hard to conceive of the United States getting into a war unless the only older alternative was national humiliation and the destruction of the world's civilization. So America's spirit is not that of victory, per se. And sufferers through all parts of the world—in the Balkans, Armenia, Russia, Germany and Japan—can joyfully attest that American pocketbooks are open to all sorrow and destitution. Therefore it cannot be money that actuates it.
ALLIED TROOPS IN GUARD RAILRING

despite the rival claims of victory. Many impartial observers looked for a Tory victory, owing to the incident of the Zinoviev letter.
Laborites believed they would gain seats at the expense of both rival parties, particularly the Liberals.
Disorders were reported from some districts, especially in constituencies where the Laborists were making a hard fight.
Winston Churchill, who has met with consistent failure in recent elections, is making another try for commons.
Forty-two women are among the 1425 candidates in the field. Thirty-two of the candidates are being returned without opposition.
The Tories and Laborites each have more than 500 candidates in the field, while the Liberals have only 339. Total number of commoners to be elected is 615.
If Labor gets a majority, the present cabinet of Premier Ranssey MacDonald will remain in power. If the Conservatives obtain a majority, the present government must resign. If neither the Tory nor the Labor party gets a majority the Liberals will again hold the balance of power. The Liberals can coalesce with either of the other parties. If they join the Conservatives the Laborite government can be voted out of power.
In such an event, it is likely that King George will call upon a Tory—porhaps Stanley Baldwin, leader of the Tory party—to form a new government.
QUESTIONED ABOUT SAN DIEGO MURDER
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.—Guy Unthink, cafe worker taken into custody here today for questioning in connection with the investigation of the mysterious murder of Mrs. Anna Williams, pretty nurse, in San Diego, Oct. 16, was released this afternoon. Unthink, said by police, to have been a friend of Mrs. Williams, was briefly questioned when the officers decided he could shed no light on the mystery was ordered released.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.—Held on suspicion of being a fugitive, Guy Unthink, a cafe worker, was lodged in jail here today at the request of San Diego authorities to be questioned in connection with the investigation of the mysterious murder of Mrs. Lillian Williams.

America has "never lost a war or won a conference." But it is hard to conceive of the United States getting into a war unless the only older alternative was national humiliation and the destruction of the world's civilization. So America's spirit is not that of victory, per se. And sufferers through all parts of the world—in the Balkans, Armenia, Russia, Germany and Japan—can joyfully attest that American pocketbooks are open to all sorrow and destitution. Therefore it cannot be money that actuates this great country.
The answer to the question may be found in Emory Johnson's latest screen classic, "The Spirit of the U. S. A., which will be shown at the United theatre tonight and tomorrow. This picture portrays in no uncertain terms the fact that the real guiding motive behind American life today is, as it always has been, a love of peace.

SPECIAL PROGRAM AT CALIFORNIA
Because of Hallowe'en and also because this is the third anniversary of the opening of the California theatre, the management has personally picked for the Thursday vaudeville, the five best acts obtainable.
Adair who is billed as "Comedy Triple Bar Novelty" is a young man who performs a routine of stunts on the triple bar, which is not only novel in its presentation, but so original in conception as to mark him as an extraordinary performer in his line.
Art Phillips, "The Merry Entertainer," presents comedy singing talking and music. He plays a novelty one string violin, singles and tells some stories. He has a good voice and pleasing personality and is a top notch entertainer.
George Stanton and Girls in "All Round Dance Revue," a dance novelty. Each member of this trio is an artist in dancing. They present many styles of snappy lances and are sure to please.
Hafter and Paul in "Even as you and I," offer an eccentric comedy number that be fast and smappy. Miss Paul has a very good voice and Bob Haffer does an aerobatic dance that is extremely funny.
The headline act for the bill is "The Seven Flashes," who present a "Satire on School Days," a comedy act that you will surely enjoy. These four Boys and Three Young Ladies have an act that is noted all over the vaudeville circuits for its laugh prevoking bits and we know that the patrons of the California are going to have a treat.
A capacity house should see the first showing of Tom Mox in "The Last of the Duquesn' at the California Theatre Thursday. This production, with the famous William Fox star, is a picturization of Zane Gray's tale of the same name with scenes laid in Texas in the days of border outlawry. Tom Mix never has been seen to better advantage in a western character role than in his portrayal of Buck Duane, son of a feudist. This young Texan refuses to fight until forced to kill a man in self-defense. He then becomes an outlaw until through the love of a girl, he receives a pardon on condition that he help clean up a leading band of cattle thieves.
Marian Nixon, as the girl, is fine, both as an actress and as a castor one's eyes. Tom Mix should keep this leading lady in his pictures, for she is a splendid complement to the Western star.
ADDS TO COMPLAINT IN DIVORCE ACTION

Mrs. Szarfinski admitted she locked the door, but stated he was intoxicated when he returned, that he broke through a window and attacked her with his fists when he finally gained entrance.

COPELAND SPEAKS TO REALTY BOARD
D. H. Copeland, manager of the California Service Bureau at Chicago, which represents California realtors in the Mid-West, was today’s speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Anaheim Realty Board.
The bureau maintains an exhibit and is constantly working to attract people to the coast.

FILM STAR WILL MAKE APPEARANCE
Miss Vera Reynolds, latest De-Mille find and stay of “Feet of Clay,” now showing at the fornia theatre, will make a special appearance at the Cali-nia tonight.
A nervy little tomboy who shocked the neighbors of those days by playing baseball with the boys on a Los Angeles sandlot, has risen overnight to the center of the cinema spotlight.
Cecil B. DeMille focussed the attention of the film world on Vera Reynolds, five feet one, petite, assured, when from obscurity he picked her overnight to play the leading feminine role in “Feet of Clay.”
“I don’t know how it all happened,” says Little Miss Reynolds, “but perhaps never being afraid helped a lot. I’m almost shocked at myself as I look back at the little torn stockinged kid who ran the bases with curls flying while my boy friends looked on—but I glad I grew up that way. It gave me assurance when most girls are awkward. It enabled me to be natural. I am awfully small—but I’ve never been afraid as I have faced varia directors. And because I was just myself perhaps my chances were improved over those other girls who, after hours of careful preparation, lost everything through sheer stage-fright.”
Little Vera got her first chance as a girl dancer with Wallace Reld and Cleo Ridgely in an picture. Then the 12-year-old chubby, comical, disobeyed a father’s mandates and unbeknownst to him played on comedy lots for several years until his consent to leave high school was finally gained. Then came serious parts in “Prodigal Daughters,” “Shadows of Paris” and “Icebound”—to the moment when Cecil B. DeMille saw in this player of semi-character parts a type he wanted, the flapper grown-up to marriage and sorrieness.
Miss Reynolds is very well known here in Anaheim as she spent many of her days here visiting her aunt, Mrs. F. H. Goodrich.

U.S. CONTINUES HANDS OFF POLICY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—Recognition of soviet Russia by France has not changed the attitude of the United States government toward Russia in any way, it was unrestrained today in official circles.
While President Coolidge has declined to comment on France's action and state department officials are reticent to discuss the matter at all, it has been definitely ascertained that neither the president nor Secretary of State Hughes have changed their minds concerning the resumption of friendly relations with the Russian Bear.
The principal objection of the administration is not that Russia is governed by the Communists, but is based on the assumption that Russia is not sincere in her international relations and will not, or cannot, carry out her commitments with those states into which she enters into diplomatic agreements.
MAINTAIN PEACE AND PROSPERITY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—If selected, President Coolidge will "continue those policies which have brought peace and prosperity to the nation," he told a group of 45 advertising men who had breakfast with him at the White House this morning.
The president attempted no elaboration of what the policies were. He spoke only a few minutes extemporaneously, and in reply to Frank B. Presby, president of the ad men's club who had assured him that the big advertising interests of the country were "for Coolidge and Dawes first last and all the time."
