ALLEGE "SALE" CLAIM FRAUD TO OBTAIN SIGNATURES Charge Misrepresentation and Intimidation Used by Recall Solicitors All sorts of devices are being used to obtain names in connection with an attempt to recall Mayor Metcalf and Councilmen Jason Knipe and Slaback, it was discertained today. One excuse is that the petition is connected with Ex-Premier Asquith Not Downhearted GLASGOW, Oct. 30—Former Premier H. H. Asquith, leader of the Liberal party, who was defeated in the election, declared today he would run again. Replying to an ovation, Asquith said: "I am not downhearted, I do not intend to retire from public life. I will stand again." This statement caused much surprise in view of the earlier declaration of his daughter, Lady Bonham Carter, that her father would retire if defeat-ed. WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF WITCHES AND BLACK CATS PARADE 66 Floats in Brillia Masquerade Parade This Evening With brilliant decorations and entries in the parade and wind display contests, still coming Anaheim's first public Halloween celebration tonight promises to the most elaborate ever star here. Charge Misrepresentation and Intimidation Used by Recall Solicitors All sorts of devices are being used to obtain names in connection with an attempt to recall Mayor Metcalf and Councilmen Johnson, Knipe and Slaback, it was entertained today. One excuse is that the petition is connected with the census, another that the Anaheim C. of C. is engineering the sign. Here is a colloquy in about so many words which took place between one Laird, who lives on Kim-st near Helena, but whose name was not found in the No. Orange-co directory, and Mrs. W. F. McClellan at the latter's home at 408 South Palm-st: "I'm taking the census and I want your signature," said the solicitor. "Census? I never had to sign for a census before," replied Mrs. McClellan. "Well, we want to get a line on the voters for the presidential election, which is very near, you know." Mrs. McClellan was still puzzled and refused to sign. Finally Laird asked her if she was a member of the U.S.A. club and added that if she was she signed in one place, if not in another. "No, I'm not a member. But I won't sign anything." The talk ended with Laird's statement that a recall was being sought. Mr. McClellan said he knew of a neighbor who had been approached the same way, and another resident of the vicinity of Elm and Helena-sts said he had heard of the same method being used. Strenuous objections to the tactics of the solicitors were reported from all parts of the city. One prominent businessman stated he had to order a solicitor out of his home twice. In the absence of Secretary Reid of the C. of C., Miss Burges, his assistant, said that the C. of C. had nothing whatever to do with any recall movement. She said the chamber had been asked the same question before. Apparently the fact that the chamber has taken a leading part in getting out the vote for the presidential election has been used by the recall leaders to try to confuse the electorate. Charges of insults and intimidation are made in the following letter: The Plain Dealer: I very much resent tactics being adopted by solicitors for a so-called census of the city to determine opinion on the visibility of a recall of city officials. What representative citizens think of the "rule or ruin" policy of The Bulletin and a few other disgruntled agitators to force the expense and stigma of a recall election upon Anaheim, when they concede there is no just cause for it, is voiced rather pointedly in the following expressions of opinion: M. W. MARTENET, prominent hardware merchant, said: "If the U.S.A. Club was as quiet as the Klan there'd be no trouble. They're doing all the hollering. It's a lot of disgruntled politicians who are behind the whole thing. There's nothing that disgusts me more than a man, who when he's beaten, can't take his defear, no matter whether it's in politics or anything else." CLAUDE H. WEADON, well known confectioner, said: "I don't think the recall will come up. Let the present administration ride until the next election. If people want a change then they can have it." Weadon said he didn't know of anything the administration had done to warrant being put out, but thought a certain newspaper, which was stirring up all the trouble, ought to be put out. G. E. KITCHEN, West Center-st grocer of years' standing, said of the recall proponents: "They're going to disgruntle the town completely. They're going to finish it up." Kitchen agreed that the recall was a foolish thing to attempt. HANS LARSEN, prominent baker, said he told a young woman who came to his house asking whether he'd sign a petition for recall that he'd vote against the recall. C. CONCLE, leading labor official, said: "I think a recall proposition would be a big mistake." Concle quoted a very prominent retailer, a leader in the U.S.A. Club, as admitting that no investigation of the present administration or its books had ever surprised in view of the earlier declaration of his daughter, Lady Bonham Carter, that her father would retire if defeated.

Promptly an o'clock lights will flare up in windows, revealing witches, beets, pumpkins, the familiar orange and black. West Center-st between Angeles and Lemon-sts is a fair land of color, with cornstalk about the lamp posts, witch heads and pumpkins grinding from the tops and strings streamers in many colors stris-cross over the streets. Ceters of colored lights strung through the city will brighten the space.

The parade will leave Kand East Center-st at 7:30 ing at the sound of the fire from the power house down Center to Helena, no Helena to Chartres, east on trea to Los Angeles and so Los Angeles to Broadway, the float will disband, the queraders continuing to and West Center. The judges stand in Los Angeles West Center-st between Anaheim and Meadowlands The judges are mayor E. H. Mealfam, M.A.Johnston, Mrs.C.S.O.M.B.R.Harden and Pr Apparently the fact that the chamber has taken a leading part in getting out the vote for the presidential election has been used by the recall leaders to try to confuse the electorate. Charges of insults and intimidation are made in the following letter: The Plain Dealer: I very much resent tactics being adopted by solicitors for a so-called census of the city to determine opinion on the advisability of a recall of city councilmen. Betterow, a young man, whom I later identified as an employee of the Bulletin, had represented the House club and stated that he had been sent by the Chamber of Commerce to take an exact census of the number of people in the city. When my wife was non-commital in response to some of his questions he became very insulting, resorting to intimidation. My wife at first declined to give her name. He declared he could get it from the city directory and would put her down as neutral. My wife asked what warranted an attempt at recall of members of the council. She asked if they had done anything wrong that would justify such procedure. He hemmed and hawed and finally conceded that they were capable and were giving the city a good administration, admitting that the only reason to attempt the recall was because they were members of the Klan. When I came home and learned of the incident I went to the U.S.A. club headquarters, where they were very insistent that I sign one of their membership cards. I said that before I signed anything I wanted to know all the whys and when I demanded to know what reasons were being advanced for the recall attempt and they finally agreed that no charge of wrong doing could be advanced, that the only reason was their affiliation with the Klan. I demanded to know if that was any disgrace.

C. CONCLE, leading labor official, said: "I think a recall proposition would be a big mistake." Concile quoted a very prominent retailer, a leader in the U.S.A. Club, as admitting that no investigation of the present administration or its books had made. A SONS said: "Do they (recall proponents) expect we are going to lie down and let them put this over? There are six votes in our family and everyone of them will be cast against the recall." This man voiced his opinion that the non-voter would come out strong against the proposed change. BOB ANTON, manager of the Frank P. Taggart Co.'s used car market, said: "It's that d—d (naming a certain newspaper) that's stirring up all the trouble!" Half a dozen men of greater or less prominence on their own initiative named the same newspaper as being responsible for all the agitation. CHARLES O. POTTER, salesman, admitted that a recall even if successful wouldn't help harmony. He doubted whether it would be successful. SAM HUBBELL, Chandler and Cleveland distributor, said: "I don't want to enter into any controversy. But what has the administration done to be put out? They've done nothing radical." RAY SCHANHALS said the continued agitation was hurting the town and admitted that a certain newspaper, not the Plain Dealer, was more to blame than anybody else. Schanhals said he wouldn't sign any petition, recall or anti-recall. HERB DAVIS, manager of Harry L. Turton's used car market, said: "They're talking about a recall and they don't know what they're recalling for." FRED JAMES, prominent tire man said: "Any man of brains knows a recall, even if it won, wouldn't increase harmony in town." (Continued on Page Three) Prettiest lady's costume from Blue Bird.

The judges consist of Mayor E. H. Metcalf, Mrs. H. Johnston, Mrs. C. S. O'Toole, E. B. Harden and Principal Tories Lead In British Election LONDON, Oct. 31.—Six p. m.—Their landslide victory—one of the greatest in recent years—probably will give the Tories 400 or more seats in the house of commons. They will dominate parliament completely. Returns up to this hour showed the following results: Tories, 392; Laborites, 150; Liberals, 39; others, 9. So overwhelming was the Tory victory that the Labor government of Premier Ramsay MacDonald is expected to resign immediately. Stanley Baldwin, leader of the Tory party, is picked as the next premier. The Tory election will have a strong effect upon foreign policies. It probably sounds the death knell of the Anglo-Russian trentry, but is unlikely to affect the Dawes plan. With a Tory government, Ulster can take hope in her fight to prevent the Irish Free State from obtaining Ulster soil. A Tory government promises complication both at home and abroad. Malcolm MacDonald, son of premier, whose campaign was conducted by his sister, Ishbel, was defeated by Sir E. Hume Williams, with a majority of 1,449. Maj. G. George, son of former Premier David Lloyd George, was defeated by his Tory opponent in Pembroke, normally a Liberal stronghold. Women candidates met heavy defeat. The returns at 3 o'clock showed 32 women defeated and only several elected. The Duchess of Athol was re-elected. Lady Terrington, was defeated in the Wycombe constituency by her Tory opponent, Maj. Gen. Sir A. Knox, by a majority of 8,294. She ran on the Liberal ticket. Some of the Laborites were bitter over their arrest. Show Margaret Bondleigh, older woman labor leader in England, made speeches charging the Tories with having succeeded "upon gross misrepresentation, lies and filth talk about the Russians." LONDON Oct. 30. (4 p.m.)—Settle Cole's Case at Conference Tomorrow Between Prexies SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30.—Four hours conference here today between representatives of U. of C., Stanford and the U. S. C. failed to reach a definite agreement as to the eligibility of Bill Cole, U. S. C. tackle, who was protested against by California because he is said to have coached football at Santa Ana H. S. Cole's case will be settled tomorrow morning, at the personal meeting between Pres. Campbell of California and Pres. Von Klein Smid of U. S. C. The alleged protest against Niswander, U. C. guard, by U. S. C. on the ground that he had taught football at the Selma H. S. was not taken up at today's meeting. Luther Nichols, graduate athletic manager of U. C., said that today U. S. C. did not raise any question as to Niswander's eligibility. Quarterback Hawkins, Captain of U. S. C., was not discussed either at today's conference. Definite action, however, was taken in the case of L. L. Martin, U. C. freshman player, who was declared ineligible because it was proven that he had completed a full year of H. S., at the H. E. last attended. The cast of L. A. Ferroggiaro, protested U. C. freshman player, is still pending until an interpretation of his case from the conference board can be secured. U. of C., was represented by Joel H. Hildebrand, dean of men; U.S.C.by H.J.Boston, executive secretary,and Stanford by Dr.W.H.Barraws,athletic director.Stateford's protests against U.S.C.freshman playerswho participated in last Saturday's game between the first gear men of both these institutions, were not discussed.

Labor Minister Shaw and Margaret Dondielder woman labor leader in England, made speeches charging "upon gross misrepresentation, lies and filthy talk about the Russians." LONDON, Oct. 30. (4 p.m.)—At this hour the Tories had rolled up as working majority in the house of commons with 360 seats and were still going strong. Returns so far give the Laborites 129 seats. The Liberal party was practically wiped out in the general election, having only 34 seats on the strength of present returns. Apparently the Tories inn commons will command twice as many votes as Laborites and Liberals combined. The Tories gained over 130 seats. Labor lost over 34 and the Liberals lost nearly 100. It was a Tory landslide. The Liberal party was hit so hard it might dissolve, unless it can be held together by former Premier David Lloyd George. The Labor party did not suffer so severely. Former Premier H. H. Asquith, leader of the Liberal party, was defeated. Former Premier Stanley Baldwin (Tory) and David Lloyd George (Liberal) were elected. Former Colonial Secy Winston Churchill, who was defeated in the past two elections, was returned on the Tory ticket. Already political dopesters are calculating the personnel of the new cabinet. It is predicted that Baldwin will be premier and Lord Birkenhead, foreign secretary. The cabinet probably will include Churchill. Premier Ramsay Macdonald was re-elected and might try to "carry on" but if he does, his government will be voted out of office as soon as parliament meets.

L. Murch, 1214 West Adway. The jar has been in Africa a long, long while, right to this country from England, on the Mayflower 1652, by Francis Eaton, a foremer of Mrs. Murch. It was one of few ornaments permitted on heavily loaded vessel, as nittles, required all available, but the good wife begged to bring her treasure along, littleizing that its value would ever estimated at $10,000, or even more. The vase is now the property of Mrs. Murch, presented to her with the past few days by her moth-Mrs. P. E. Philleo, a recent arrival from Yerrington, Nevada. In the order of succession the vase is given to the eldest child to which generation and was the prop-erty of the sons until three generations ago when Mrs. Murch's grandmother, Mrs. Stowell, nee Jane Eaton, as the eldest child, received it. Her daughter, now Mrs. Philleo, came next in line, then the present owner and only child of Mrs. Philleo. Through a Yerrington attorney, a New York curio dealer set avaluation of $10,000 upon the vase. It is of dark brown pottery, with inlaid derms, English ivy, with holly, birds, thistle bloom and poppies, all in colors. Standing but eight inches high, the prize is attractive, but not showy. Until recently it was never offered for sale, but its value makes it impractical for a household ornament.

PRESIDENT OF CONDUCTORS ON STAND FEDERAL COURT BUILDING, CHICAGO, Oct. 30—The Borah investigating committee, 50 per cent strong, resumed its probe into alleged corruption of national politics here today while its co-members derived into evidence of "slush funds" presented at Washington. L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of railroad Conductors of America, was the first witness called. He testified that his organization numbered about 60,000 members throughout the country, but denied any direct connection with the A.F. of L. Weymouth Kirkland, counsel for the Republican National committee, then attempted to bring out the moves which prompted the labor organizations' backing of the progressives and this brot the first clash. Senator Henrik Shipstead, of Minnesota, called attention of Chairman Wm. E. Borah that similar questions asked W. L. Miller at Washington had been ruled upon, allowing him not to answer. The controversy was enud by Kirkland not pressing the question. Kirkland then attempted to introduce a transcript of a letter alleged to have been written by Sheppard to Fred Stewart, of Oakland, a member of his organization. A sharp tilt followed. Sheppards counsel denied the right of Kirkland to submit a document, the source of which he could not prove. Borah upheld this despite Kirkland's claim that he could later produce a photographic copy of the letter. Kirkland then delivered an address in which he declared it his eight inches high, the prize is attractive, but not showy. Until recently it was never offered for sale, but its value makes it impractical for a household ornament. Mr. and Mrs. Murch arrived in Anaheim but two months ago and Mrs. Murch but a few days ago. Of strictest Seventh Day Adventist denomination, their word of the relic is not to be questioned. Commissioner Reports on Investigation in South Carolina WASHINGTON, Oct. 20—Sensational charges involving the alleged "sale" of federal offices in South Carolina were made this afternoon before the senate campaign fund committee by John T. Doyle, secretary of the U.S. Civil Service Commission, who has just completed an official investigation in that state. According to Doyle's report, which was filed with the commission, Joseph Tolbert, the Republican national committeeman for South Carolina, offered to have Howard A. Littlejohn appointed as postmaster at Belton, S.C., but that Littlejohn refused to put up any money. “If your heart and pocketbook will get right” Doyle quoted Tolbert as saying, “I will tear down this notice of (civil service) examination and give you the postoffice.” I have the power to do that. Col. D. A. Geer, a Belton merchant, gave $150 to the Republican campaign fund. Doyle said to secure Littlejohn's reappointment, but that money was returned by R. R. Tolbert, the county chairman and a brother-in-law of of the national committeeman, with a message that $150 would not get the Belton postoffice." R. R. Tolbert told Littlejohn that he was “boss of the district” and that any day Littlejohn would meet his requirements he would “wire his name to the post office department and that his appointment would be published the next day.” Littlejohn, according to Doyle, has in Tolbert's own writing the figures showing the amount he demanded for the postmastership.

River boats bound for San Francisco were checked unsuccessfully. Company officials today placed the amount of the loss, caused by the destruction of the tanker Alden Anderson, 600 feet of wharf, a large quantity of oil and gasoline and oil barge, at $1,250,000, fully covered by insurance. Ravages of the teredo, a marine worm, which caused the pier to sag, snapping electric wires and resulting in an explosion in hundreds of cases of gasoline caused the disaster. The missing men were trapped on the Alden Anderson from which 21 escaped by jumping. One is believed to have burned to death and the other five to have drowned. LIQUOR FINES John Murphy, of San Pedro, picked up Wednesday afternoon by the local police for possession of liquor, entered a plea of guilty in Judge Kuehel's court, and was fined $100. B. A. Smith, also charged with possession of liquor, was fined $150. Kirkland then attempted to introduce a transcript of a letter alleged to have been written by Sheppard to Fred Stewart, of Oakland, a member of his organization. A sharp tilt followed. Sheppards counsel denied the right of Kirkland to submit a document, the source of which he could not prove. Borah upheld this despite Kirkland's claim that he could later produce a photographic copy of the letter. Kirkland then delivered an address in which he declared it his purpose to show that the progress campaign was virtually subsidized by the railroad labor federations and that the money revealed by John M. Nelson as contributed to the independent cause was only a small part of the amount which is being spent to bring about La Follette's election. Senator Borah then took up the questioning. He first asked the amount of money contributed for the campaign under his direction. Sheppard said his organization had a protective fund to which a member contributed $2 a year. This is used for various purposes, such as strike benefits, etc., and to support non-partisan candidates who offer them the best things. From this fund, the brotherhood's campaigns are paid, he said. Voluntary contributions besides this, thru local branches, total $302 he said. Another $310 has been received from the conductors, he stated. This, he said, was the total collected thru him. The largest single contribution, he said, was $25. Sheppard said his organization had conducted this campaign no differently from other presidential campaigns, except to have more men in the field. He admitted his organization had sent literature to its members, supplied by the La Follette headquarters, but denied that they had sent out any special literature of his own. Sheppard said his organization had been arranged by his Continued on page three.
