6-MONTH RECORDED BAIN LETTER NEVER GOT TO FALL Another Bomb Shell to Government Counsel in Lease Suit LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31.—That the famous "make it easy for Doheny" letter written by Dr. H. Poster Bain of the U. S. Bureau of VANDALS SCORE IN 3 MINUTES CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 31.—Uncorking a forward pass attack that completely bewildered their opponents, the Idaho Vandals scored a touchdown on the Oregon Aggies in the first three minutes of play here this afternoon on Bell Field before 12,000 spectators. A pass, Stivers to Vesser, gained 24 yards and a touchdown. Stivers missed goal and the score was 6 to 0 for Idaho. The Vandals advanced the ball from their own 36-yard line over the Aggie goal in four successive passes and one line buck. The Vandals continued their long, dazzling aerial game and in another five minutes had another touchdown on a 37-yard forward pass, Stivers to Cameron. Stivers kicked goal.

Another Bomb Shell to Government Counsel in Lease Suit LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31.—That the famous "make it easy for Doheny" letter written by Dr. H. Foster Bain of the U. S. Bureau of Mines to Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, was held up by E. L. Doheny and never received by Fall, was testified here today in federal court by Bain in the government's effort for cancellation of Doheny leases in the Elk Hills naval oil reserve. Bain testified under examination of Defense Attorney Frank J. Hogan that he wrote the famous letter in San Francisco on May 12, 1922, after he had consulted with officials of the Standard Oil Co. and the General Petroleum Co., and found from them that they questioned the legality of the Pearl Harbor naval fuel oil storage contract which had been granted the Doheny Co. a short time previously. In the letter, which was read in court today, Bain wrote Fall of his experiences with the oil company heads and suggested to the then secretary that he reconsider his decision to go ahead with the Pearl Harbor project without consulting the attorney general. In the course of the letter Bain made the following remarks which were seized upon by the senate investigating committee as important evidence against the Doheny interest: "None of us want Mr. Doheny to get into trouble and I take it we will want to do anything we can make it easy for him. "I have been told there was a definite proposal to have one of the smaller oil companies go into court and fight this contract with a view of getting a decision as to the right of the department to make such a bargain. This proposal has not been carried thru. "Mr. Storey (of the Standard Oil Co.) tells me that he has objected to it as he felt it would embarrass the department and would give support to the trouble makers in business." Bain testified he gave this letter to J. W. Potter or the Doheny legal staff to give to Fall in Three Rivers where that Cotter stopped off in Los Angeles and showed the letter to Doheny who declared he was willing to take a chance on the legality of the contract and that the other portions of the letter were "unimportant." So the letter was not delivered, Bain said. At the time of the senatorial oil investigation which resulted in the pass, Silvers to Vessel, gained 24 yards and a touchdown. Silvers missed goal and the score was 6 to 0 for Idaho. The Vandals advanced the ball from their own 36-yard line over the Aggie goal in four successive passes and one line buck. The Vandals continued their long, dazzling aerial game and in another five minutes had another touchdown on a 37-yard forward pass. Stivers to Cameron. Stivers kicked goal. Score: Idaho 13, Oregon Aggies 0, at middle of first period. COOLIDGE TO MAKE RADIO ADDRESS WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—President Coolidge will say the last word in the campaign of 1924. Arrangements were being made today by the Republican National Committee for the president to deliver a radio address next Monday night over a countrywide hook-up similar to that used for his speech accepting the Republican nomination. As Mr. Coolidge will not start speaking until 10 o'clock eastern standard time, his address will mark the official end of the campaign. Altho the radio talk will be non-partisan, the president devoting himself entirely to urging all citizens to go to the polls on the following day to cast their ballots in the general and state elections, many Republican leaders are expected to install loud speakers in public halls and use the address as the final feature of their own meetings. As far as Mr. Coolidge is personally concerned, his campaign for the presidency is ended. He has marked his ballot and mailed it to his legal residence at Northampton, Mass., and in addition to the general appeal to voters on Monday night, expects to make no further address. The president met today with the cabinet, discussing, among other questions, selection of a secretary of agriculture to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Secretary Wallace. National organizations of farmers have been invited by the Four out of five chants in Anaheim interday voiced their opposition recall being attempted; would fall or, even if ed, would not increase.

Foster Bain, of the United States Bureau Mines, first witness for the E. Doheny defenses in the trial of the government's suit to cancel the Doheny leases and contracts, scheduled for today's session at the case here in federal court. Bain, a star witness for Doheny, was expected to be subjected by government counsel to a thorough questioning concerning his role in negotiations in the interior and navy departments which led to the granting of the Elk Hills naval oil reserve leases and the Pearl Harbor, T. H., fuel oil storage contracts, to the Doheny companies. Originally subpoenaed as a government witness in the case, Bain was not called to the stand by Senator Alice Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special government counsel, but when the government finished its case, became the first witness for the defense. See Dr. Neth, 210 N. Resh—Chiropractic and Electric Treatments. As far as Mr. Coolidge is personally concerned, his campaign for the presidency is ended. He has marked his ballot and mailed it to his legal residence at Northampton, Mass., and in addition to the general appeal to voters on Monday night, expects to make no further address. The president met today with the cabinet, discussing among other questions, selection of a secretary of agriculture to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Secretary Wallace. National organizations of farmers have been invited by the president to submit "nominations" for the post, and from these the appointment will be made after the election. It was announced at Davila headquarters that the candidate would speak over the radio before m'd 9:59 p.m. Monday evening. He will speak in the WEAF Station and his address will be relayed by stations WCAP, WGY, KDKA, KFKX, KFD, WMG, and WGN. The speech he is to make Saturday niht is in Carnegie hall here and will be relayed at stations in New York, Chicago, Washington, Pittsburgh and Memphis.

Calvary cemetery. Mrs. Simon Toussau and Mr. B. Poyet, both of Anaheim, are sister and brother respectively, of deceased and both attended the services. Mrs. Van Berckelaer resided in Anaheim many years ago, but moved to Inglewood, frequently visiting here since. She had a stroke of paralysis about one week ago, and steadily grew weaker until Tuesday, when death occurred. She was born in South America, during a tour of that country by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Poyet, but was brought to the U.S. when a very tiny baby.

R. W. Franz, of the Franz Realty Co., said he had been in the city for 40 or 50 years, and he never saw anything like the agitation. Those responsible for it, he declared, were doing the city as well as themselves an injustice. Franz doesn't think the recall will succeed. And it certainly would not increase harmony. Arthur McAulay, of Locke & McAulay, shoe merchants, said he didn't think a recall would even come to a vote. "The administration has done nothing scandalous," he added. McAulay remarked that he lived outside the city and didn't have a vote. James A. Chitty, well known florist of So. Bush-st, said a recall wouldn't have any chance of success. The present administration, in his opinion, was one of the best yet. There would always be bootlegging here, but there was less now than at any time he ever saw. Fellows used to sneak over a side street and sell the stuff, and they don't do that now. A friend told him that drinkers used to frequent the city park, but now they can't, because a policeman patrols the park regularly. G. O. Payne, of the Spartan Grocery, said there was nothing wrong with the present administration and he would like to see the controversy ended. R. R. Schilling, of the Quality Shoe Store, asked: "What has the present administration done to be recalled?" Schilling opposes the recall. George Jones, manager of the Chaffee East Center-st store, said the present administration was one of the best yet, and it certainly wouldn't increase harmony to put them out. A prominent jeweler said the present administration had done as well as any before it and discord would be increased if the recall succeeded. The manager of a prominent clothing store said there would be no harmony until the town kicked out dirty newspapers that were keeping the dust stirred up. This man thought the administration had done well. The proprietor of a leading pharmacy said that personally he thought the administration was all right. "What cause have they got to change it?" he asked. TONG TRUCE DECLARED 14 DAYS NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Copies of an agreement declaring a 14-day armistice between the Hip Sing and On Leong Tongs were on their way today to every city in the United States where Chinese of the waring factions have been shot, murdered, stabbed or beaten in recent weeks. The truce terms were written in oriental characters and put up on a bulletin board in Chinatown here, where no Chinese has ventured of late to be seen on the streets, unless absolutely necessary. Frank Moy, business representative and interpreter of the On Leongs said his Tong agreed: 1—To withdraw all guns and gunmen. 2—the Chinese Benevolent Association which arranged the armistice will be responsible and pay indemnity if the Hip Sing Tong fails to keep its agreement. 3—the Hip Sings must move, bag and baggage, out of Washington, D. C., and Pittsburgh and conduct no business in these cities. 4—All On Leongs, who were expelled from that Tong and taken in by the Hip Sings, must be expelled from the Hip Sing Tong. Frank said the Hip Sings had lifted a $10,000 price placed on his head when the agreement was signed. He said the On Leongs had $5,000,000 in their treasury, which they would spend to the last cent, to get what they are after. What they were after Frank did not say. He said the Tong war had cost the On Leongs $90,000 thus far. The Hip Sings, Frank explained conducted their end of the war at bargain prices spending only $40,000 in their treasury. HALLOWELEN Success of Mardi Gras Attempt Exceeds All Expectations What Anaheim can do when it gets together and forgets its differences never was better shown than last night at the first Halloween celebration, with a crowd which packed the principal streets. There wasn't a discordant note and contrary to similar affairs of other years, the nearest approach to drunkenness was the smell of liquor on one man's breath. He was sent to his home in another town with a friend behind the wheel. Prominent businessmen, including C. of C. directors today voiced their opinion at the C. of C. offices that the event should be made annual. Never in their view, had a more successful celebration been staged in the city, and young and old alike had the time of their lives. The window decorations, of contestants and non-contestants alike, were not only appropriate, but original and novel, and as a source of entertainment proved only second to the parade itself. The latter was arranged and timed to a nicety, starting promptly at 7:30, when the city whistle blew, from Kroeger and East Center-sts, and following the route of march as announced. Paramount in the estimation of Anaheim women, perhaps, in reviewing the delights of the Merchants' carnival last night, was the combination of jollity and excellent behavior. Rubbing elbows with all nationalities and classes, not a discordant note was sounded, not a criticism of the informality, not a harsh response when gallons of confetti were dashed into the faces, down the necks into the pockets of the merry women and even the littler folk, or yards and yards of serpentine entwined itself in the plumage of the new fall hats. As Ma Anaheim and her woman guests vacuum up the piles of confetti dropped from her garments at the late retiring hour after the happy evening, the thought persists," what an orderly big crowd." And women had just as large part in the success of the carnival as the men and merchants. Women clerks and assistants in all business establishments entered into the spirit of the community continuing costs and marks and rode in one lanes entered by their firms. One of the most attractive entrances was a woman's organization, the Business and Professional club, in three artistically trimmed automobiles, received cheers all friends, etc. Among the latter Cameron, an old man ties flocked to Breckenridge big baseball games headed by W.

PACIFIC FLEET BEST IN WORLD LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31.—Naval authorities declared here today that the Pacific fleet, now boasted the most effective fighting division in the world, following the transfer of the West Virginia as flagship of division No. 5 with Vice-Admiral H. A. Wiley in command. With the addition of the latest super-dreadnaught of the navy to the division, composed of the Colorado, Maryland and Tennessee, this is the world's most powerful naval unit, it was said. Admiral Wiley transferred his three-cornered flag to the New Mexico without ceremony, the New Mexico today having been made the flagship of division No. 4, with Rear Admiral Wm. V. Pratt commanding. The California, which remains the flagship of the Pacific fleet, with Admiral S. S. Robison in command, will leave here tonight for San Diego to be overhauled. SCHOONER ASHORE SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—The steam schooner Acme, owned by the Moore Mill & Lumber Co., of San Francisco, is ashore near Bandon, Ore., having become lost in a thick blanket of fog, according to a report today to the San Francisco C. of C. The crew of a nearby coast guard station is proceeding to the assistance of the Acme. The Acme left San Francisco on Oct. 28 for northern ports. She is of 270 tons registry and has a crew of about 15 men. The vessel is reported in no immediate danger.

Women clerks and assistants in all business establishments entered into the spirit of the convention costumes and masks, and rode in the Houses entered by their firms. One of the most attractive entrances was a woman's organization, the Business and Professional club, in three artistically trimmed automobiles, received cheers all along the line of march. A Packard, driven by C. W. Cromer, had the Missae Alice Humphrey, Adeline Curtis and Lucille Nenno as passengers; Dr. Leota P. Anderson and Miss Pearl Anderson, rode in Dr. Anderson's car and Dr. Bessica Raiche, with Dr. Hargrave and their two little daughters, occupied Dr. Raiche's auto. Being for and of the carnival, it was a success in the eyes of women who are loud in their praises of the entire program and in which they were hearty participants. VANDALS SLASH 18 MOTOR TIRES The new Reo police patrol came in for its share of Hallowe'en tricks, W. B. Moody, chief of police, said. Somebody took a sharp instrument and punctured two of the tires. He said reports had been recieved that about 18 other tires on cars here in town had been similarly served last night. FINISH LONG BORE FRESNO, Oct. 31.—Amid cheers of workmen far below the surface of the Sierra mountains, the largest 15-foot bore tunnel in the world was hoiled thru with a final blast late yesterday as two crews of So Calif. Edison Co., completed borings from opposite directions. The tunnel is 13 miles long and is the first of three to be completed. It was started four years ago and the work has been watched by engineering experts of four continents. When the power project is completed next year it will have cost more than the construction of the Panama canal. Windows First prize number Martenet. Second prize number Q.R. Store.

Think of it! The bulk, of course, is fines against bootleggers. No wonder the bootleggers want the present city council recalled. "We have a very alert police department and are simply enforcing the law," says Judge Kuchel, who once before was police judge—for two and one-half months. In that time he broke all previous records for that office by assessing stiff fines against illicit liquor handlers. That didn't coincide with the ideas of former Mayor W. Stark and he summarily kicked him out.

All Orange-co and part of Los Angeles and other adjoining counties flocked to Brea today to see the big baseball game between teams headed by Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth. The premier pitcher and hitter of big leagues with their companions were given an ovation by the crowd, and the pair were kept busy autographing baseballs, chatting with old friends, etc. Among the latter were Bill Cameron, an old ampire; George Cameron, Joe Burke, now U. S. Dist. Atty. In Los Angeles-co; Joe Wagner, L. Lewis, Bob Isabelle, Douglas Rhodes, L. Brown, Guy Meats and Russell Annlim. The Fullerton band began to enliven things some time before the game started, and Bob Meusel of the Giants, Fred Williams of St. Louis and the great Babe amused spectators with some exhibition fungo batting.

Ruth's men CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-The Chicago session of the Borah committee investigation of political campaign contributions adjourned shortly after noon today after a short two hour session, without revealing anything sensational or surprising. The threatened scandal, supposed to be contained in four documents repudiated by Wm. Butler, chairman of the Republican National committee, yesterday, was dismissed for the time being by Sen. Wm. E. Borah, committee chairman, in a statement made just before adjournment in which he indicated the committee felt reasonable doubt concerning the matter. The documents never have been publicly offered but were submitted to the committee in executive session and were privately offered to Butler to identify yesterday. Borah's statement indicated a feeling that the sessions had not developed evidence of corruption to warrant admitting the documents to evidence without corroborative evidence at hand. Borah's statement was followed by one from Samuel Untermyer, counsel for LaFollette in the hearing, declaring that they "had just scratched on the surface in this investigation." Unfairness stated that after the committee recalled records of funds donated by states to the national committee and money returned to the state organizations. Weymouth Kirkland, counsel for the Republican national committee then stated that there was nothing made public that tended to prove any allegations made by the LaFollette forces. Sen. Borah declared the committee adjourned indefinitely. He will go back to Washington to $875 More Assessed by Judge Kuchel Than in 60 Months Before An explanation for some of the agitation for recall of Mayor Metcalf and Councilmen Knipe, Sinback and Hasson came today with the announcement that Judge Chas.

McKnight, of the Rankin Dry Goods Co., Jack Carter, of the Vandermast & Son; J. E. Shaffer, of the W. A. Huff Co., all of Santa Ana. These three gentlemen are professional window dressers. They have been engaged in some of the largest cities of the Pacific coast, and each has won a name for himself. They found it extremely difficult to make a selection because of the beauty of many of the windows. The underlying thought on which these windows were judged was "the most unique Hallowe'en idea." The judges did not think that the materials from the stores should be placed in the window simply to make it beautiful or for advertising purposes. The Hallowe'en idea expressed best was that which Mr. Martenet exemplified. The old gentleman standing against the shock of corn protecting his own from Hallowe'en paraders, was a real live idea. The C. of C. and the Merchants' & Manufacturers' Ass'n wish to publicly express their appreciation to Messrs. McKnight, Carter and Shaffer for the very thorough way they judged the windows. These men, artists as they are, will be held in high esteem by the citizens of Anaheim as well as Santa Ana. All the 31 contestants in the window display are to be congratulated upon the splendid efforts made. This was real co-operative work.
