LODGE IN SHADOW OF DEATH BOXING BILLET MAY HAVE CARRIED Believe Present Leaf 20,000 Can Withstand Rural Returns SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6 the basis of returns received 1 p.m. today Assemblyman Morrison sponsor of the AT DOOR Anaheim Bankers Declare Easier Feeling Already Has Been Noticed Prosperity is just waiting around the corner now. This is the opinion of local bankers who feel that the election of Coolidge, regardless of what anybody else thinks, was strongly wanted by big business. Some time before the election it was known that Los Angeles banks averaged $50 in reserve for every $100 loaned. At least one Anaheim bank had $55 reserved for each $100 loaned. Presumably, since the overwhelming re-election of Coolidge has done much to stabilize confidence, the banking situation will gradually assume a more optimistic attitude. A. B. McCord, cashier of the Anaheim National Bank said: "As I see it the indications are for a year of great prosperity. An unprecedented influx of tourists to California is predicted for the coming year. Crops have been good in the Middle West, and a lot of capital now will be let loose from the East on the coast, much of it to be put into the textile industry. I expect to see a spurt in building operations in Anaheim. I expect to see one of the biggest years yet in 1925." "We'll improve now," said H. A. Hawley, cashier of the Southern County Bank. "We'll move ahead." Hawley remarked on the spurt in the stock market, which he infilmed was an index of better things. E. B. Smith, cashier of the Golden State National Bank, said: "Everybody's talking prosperity. There's no question in my mind that prosperity will get under way quickly. People are ready to get down to business now." H. H. Benjamin, cashier of the First National said: "I feel absolutely that the country generally—of course nobody knows—that throut the United States we shall seek a good healthy development—I don't mean over-inflation—one of the best in years." "I think right here the condition really improved the next day after election, but we won't notice it until the next orange crop begins to be marketed." "Capital will be put to work, wages will be better—which means people are going to eat oranges." "This year has been a good year for the orange grower. He can't kick at prices. But he can kick at the quality of the crop." PRES. GIVEN 378 SEN. LODGE IN SHADOW OF DEATH BOSTON, Nov. 6.—Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, senior Massachusetts senator, was in the shadow of death at the Charles Gate hospital today. The senator recently underwent two operations for obstruction of the bladder from which he was said to be recovering. A shock is responsible for the gravity of his present condition. At 7 o'clock this morning Dr. John J. Cunningham said the senator's condition was unchanged since midnight. Dr. Cunningham said that even if Sen. Lodge survived the present attack he would be left a hopeless paralyte. Sen. Lodge was operated on for gall stones at the hospital on July 27. The operation was considered successful and his recovery from it remarkable in view of his age. He returned to his summer home at Nahant after only a brief stay in the hospital. He was operated on a second time, Oct. 20, with the intention of preventing any recurrence of the conditions which led to the first operation. Again his chances for recovery was believed good and the bulletins of his condition reported steady gain until the relapse at noon yesterday. Dr. Cunningham, who attended Sen. Lodge at both operations, was called as soon as the senator's condition was known to be serious and was a watcher at his bedside last night. Senator Lodge was still unconscious this morning. "His condition must be regarded as critical," said Dr. Cunningham. Doctors Frederick Winslow and John W. Cunningham issued a statement at noon declaring: "Sen. Lodge's condition remains unchanged, not hopeful." At 9:45 o'clock today, Dr. Cunningham issued the following bulletin: "Sen. Lodge's condition continues exactly the same. He may continue in this condition for some time, but it is impossible at the present moment to state what the outcome of his condition will be." Anticipate no immediate change in Sen. Lodge's condition."

NAB MAN WHO FLED FATAL ACCIDENT After a two-months' search, deputy sheriffs at Santa Ana today held Henry de Costa, tax collector for the Mexican government at the Tia Juana border, who is formally accused of fleeing from the scene of the accident in which M.F. Stegman of Santa Ana, a sailor, received fatal injuries. Stegman was killed on the state highway near the San Diego-co-line, Aug. 8. The car in which he was riding was driven by John Murphy, who claimed another machine forced his into the ditch, where it overturned. At that time it was thought the "mystery" machine was driven by a woman, reported to have returned to the scene and then to have rushed into her car, which speeded southward. Ownership of the "mystery" touring car was traced by sheriff's deputies here and by officials of an Auto Club to De Costa. On his arrest at 6 a.m., yesterday by Deputy F. L. Yoder of Santa Ana De Costa is said to have admitted his was the machine that was in the accident. His wife, a beautiful type and who visited him at the jail here today, stated she was the woman who returned to the scene of the tragedy. As a defense, De Costa said he would claim an attempt was made to give aid to the injured man, but that such assistance was not solicited. Deputies who have been investigating declared the charge, brought by Miss Lois Stegman of Santa Ana, sister of the victim, may be changed to manslaughter if the facts warrant such prosecution. Anaheim Woman Makes Dramatic Charge At Hearing Dramatically offering herself to the state in its effort to convict B. Cecil Jacks, former prominent roadside confectioner at Orana, of a statutory charge, Mrs. Pearl Baldwin, 43, of Anaheim, leaped to her feet in Justice Jack Landell's court at Santa Ana today and informed Deputy Dist. Atty. D. G. Wettlin she would swear to a complaint charging Jacks attacked her while she was employed at his establishment. Mrs. Baldwin had been a spectator during the hearing of a similar charge against Jacks, also known as "Dinty Moore," dismissal of which was asked by the state. Miss Bertha Southworth, 17, Anaheim girl, who appeared as complaining witness, denied on the witness stand she had been subjected to any criminal treatment while she was Jacks' employe. Upon the basis of Mrs. Baldwin's testimony given after deputy sheriffs had re-arrested Jacks in the courtroom, Justice Landell held the 52-year-old man to answer to the charge in the superior court. S. S. Hahn of Los Angeles, counsel for the defense, informed the court he would instigate habeas corpus proceedings in the appellate court at Los Angeles, after he had made formal position to the superior court at Santa Ana. There was a second dramatic scenew when Jacks broke down and sobbed his protest of innocence to the Southworth girl, her mother and two other sisters. The three daughters all had been employed at times at Jacks' place of business. The mother and the three girls carressed him, and the former complaining witness assured him she signed the criminal document at the behest of Mrs. Baldwin. Attorney Hahn declared he would show in the higher courts that for three days after the date of the alleged attack upon Mrs. Baldwin, the latter's daughter was permitted to work in the roadhouse, popular with scores of Orange-co persons at night.

It adherents were claiming victory today for it on the basis of complete returns which showed majority of about 50,000 in one third of the vote of the state. Opinions of the measure including automobile clubs and highway officials were not willing to concede it victorious as they said the smaller counties would be against it because it would reduce available for good roads by allowing the auto bus companies several forms of taxation. Two of the three amendments claimed to be defective were deated returns today indicated. They are No. 5 which if passed would have invalidated the state veteran aid legislation and No. 10 throwing the present form of state taxation. No. 12, however, which was said to contain a "jokey" authorizing the legislature to increase salaries of supreme and appellate judges apparently has no No. 2 increasing legislators' salaries appears to have won easiness.

PRESIDENT'S LEAD MAY HIT 350,000 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.—Pres Coolidge's plurality in California over Sen. LaFollette has mounted to more than 300,000 today with about 1000 precincts yet to be heard from. The count of 6,513 precincts out of 7,524 in the state today stood: Coolidge, 683,271; Davis, 96,-484; LaFollette, 369,859. Inasmuch as Coolidge was leading in all of the counties in which precincts were missing and of the precincts unattended were small the remaining vote was expected to increase his popular plurality to around 325,000 with the possibility that it might reach 350,000.

The force of the shock caused the craft to leak and fill rapidly. The three victims took a life boat, which was submerged in heavy seas. ELECTION BULLETINS ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 6.—That the Coolidge landslide might extend to New Mexico was believed here early this afternoon when incomplete returns from a majority of the 32 counties gave Pres.

The Davis itinerary has not yet been determined tho it is expected to include a number of points in the orient. Davis has divorced himself from all matters political.

Total 435. Later official returns may change these figures and switch the totals.

The Republican congressional committee here is checking back today on corrected returns as fast as they are received. They hope to increase their total to 250 votes, reducing the Democrats' apparent total to 181. Pres. Coolidge is assured of legislative control of the house by the Republican majority as it now stands.

DENIED FALL CONCEIVED PROJECT LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.—A flat statement that former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall did not conceive the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, fuel base project involving the trading of government royalty crude oil for fuel oil in storage, but that the plan originated in the navy department, marked trial of the government's suit to cancel E. L. Doheny's leases in federal court here today. Rear Admiral J. K. Robison who made the statement, said first information as to the Pearl Harbor project came from Edwin Denby, former secretary of the navy. Robison told at some length of the Pearl Harbor plans. "I wanted to get what I could for the navy out of the proposition," said Admiral Robison with satisfaction. He referred to an early memorandum prepared for the use of Denby, in which he had stated: "It seems probable we can secure not less than 4,000,000 barrels of storage oil." "Doheny had originally offered 1,000,000 barrels." Robison pointed out. The memorandum, he explained, referred to a proposal for storage of oil at San Francisco before the Pearl Harbor storage project had been decided upon. Doheny he said, had offered to place the 1,000,000 barrels at the northern port and though he had asked as security that he be given an increase in lease holdings, he had not asked that addition be made in reserve land not threatened by drainage. "I said to Fall that I wanted to hold out for one seventh flat royalty in the first contract and Fall said 'go ahead and see if you can get it out of the old man'," Robison remarked. DES MOINES, Nov. 6.—Sen Smith W. Brookhart's lead in the U.S. senatorship race was increased to nearly 700 sortly afternoon when a re-check disclosed an error in the checking in Buena Vista and Polk counties. DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 6.—Sen Smith W. Brookhart, Republican has an unofficial lead of 66 votes over Dan Steck, Democrat in the senatorial contest with all of Iowa's 2,418 precincts unofficially accounted for. The figures were Brookhart, 445,293; Steck, 445,-227. DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 6.—Results of the senatorial race in Iowa are still in doubt with unofficial reports from every precinct in the state available. Re-checks are being made throughout the state and errors have been found in several cases. The first error discovered in Woodbury County today cut down the lead of Dan Steck, Democrat by more than 2000 votes. This was followed by the discovery of other errors, until at 1:30 p.m. it appeared that Brookhart was leading by sixty-one votes with every precinct heard from. Shortly before 2 o'clock another error of 200 votes was found in Benton county which again put Steck in the lead. Subsequent reports from other districts have seen-sawed the result back and forth until present figures indicate Brookhart has a lead of nearly 700 votes. Mistakes in checking at Buena Vista County and in Polk County aided the Brookhart forces. DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 6.—Due to the closeness of the senatorial race in Iowa between Sen. Smith W. Brookhart, Rep., and Dan, F. Steck, Demit is highly probable that an official check will be necessary to determine the victor. While unofficial figures now show Brookhart leading by a few votes, a check of the ballots may give either candidate a substantial lead as returns from many of the precincts are incomplete and unofficial. Democratic headquarters say the missing precincts in Lee County will go for their candidate, while the Progressives point to the strong Brookhart sentiment in the outlying rural districts that have brought his total up to that of Steck and claim that the farm ballot will put the junior senator across. PUBLICITY FOR CITY That Anaheim is receiving rather wide recognition by various publications is indicated by the fact that a beautiful half tone engraving of the interior of an Anaheim orange packing plant is shown in the November issue of Southern California Business, the official magazine of the Los Angeles C. of C. The particular view given is of the orange washing machine. This forms very good publicity for Anaheim. WOULD CUT SURTAX WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Reduction of the surtax on big-income to 25 per cent will be recommended to congress next month by Pres. Coolidge, it was learned officially at the treasury department today. This was one of the features of the original Mellon tax plan which congress turned down last winter. Brookhart Leading DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 6.—Unofficial returns from all but three precincts show Smith W. Brookhart, Rep. leading Dan F. Steck, Dem. by 42 votes in the race for U. S. senator. Unofficial tabulations of 2,415 precincts of Iowa's 2,418 show Brookhart has overtaken his Democratic opponent in the race and is leading by the narrowest margin. Returns from 2415 precincts give Steck 444,801; Brookhart, 444,843. The three precincts to be heard from are in Lee-co. INVITED TO DINNER The local C. of C. has been invited as usual to send its officers to the annual duck dinner, to be held at San Bernardino Nov. 20, preparatory to the annual National Orange Show. Rarelay Custom Corrents, Phone 250-W. 123 Janss St. FIRST NATIONAL GOES TO NEW HOME At a meeting of the directors of the First National bank held yesterday a change in the plan for separation of the banks was made. The First National will be moved into the fine new six-story building now in erection on East Center-st., and the Anaheim Savings bank left in the present quarters. The interior of the new home will be finished in marble and bronze and the fixtures will be second to none on the coast. Both banks are strictly home concerns and have no intention of affiliating with the large Los Angeles banks, nor to become a members of any "chain banks" of the west. SMALL BLAZE A small fire broke out last night about 9 at the Labor Temple on North Los Angeles-st. Paper and rags on the stairway leading to the roof had caught fire.

DES MOINES, Nov. 6.—John Denison, in charge of the local headquarters of the Iowa progressive party here, said today he was wiring Sen. Smith W. Brookhart to ask for an official check of the ballots in his contest with Dan Steck, Dem. nominee, Denison said that he had received complaints from many districts that the Progressive challengers were not allowed to watch the count at polling places. Clyde Herring, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, said he had called Steck and advised him to come to Des Moines at once to demand a recount of the ballots. Herring said he thought there must be something wrong as it did not seem possible to him that the opposition could have overcome the lead of more than 3000 votes conceded to Steck this morning in less than 55 precincts. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—With the La Follette insurgent group's grip on congress shaken but not entirely dislodged, rumbles of new political storm were heard here today over the defeat of Sen. Smith W. Brookhart, deputy leader of the blooc. Sen. Brookhart's supporters charged his defeat as a Republican candidate while Pres. Coolidge was rolling up a tremendous majority was due to the alleged action of the Republican state organization supporting Daniel F. Steck, his Democratic opponent. As a result, they were swearing vengeance in Brookhart's name. With La Follette continuing to swing a balance of power in 68th congress, reports were rent that his blooc would war upon Sen. Albert B.
