BLOCK EFFORTS TO SOLVE MURDER LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14.—Efforts to solve the mysterious murder of Harry L. Katz, master musician and diamond broker, shot and killed in his luxurious bachelor home here Monday night, were further blocked today when police failed to locate Dorothy Carroll, beautiful siabaster blonde, self-admitted "last sweetheart" of the slain man. Mrs. Carroll, for whose love Kat and at least four other men had vied, has been missing for three days, following a brief visit to police headquarters where she told a sensational story of having been threatened by a "killer" acting as an agent for a Los Angeles business man she charged with responsibility for Katz's death. Police sought the young woman as the result of the arrest of Chase Carroll her husband known as the "barber sheik" and Earl H. Bridges Carroll's room mate. Carroll and Bridges were ordered held as material witnesses in the murder investigation when they made conflicting statements. When Carroll was questioned he admitted he shot a man named Hughes in Bakersfield two years ago, with a .32 automatic pistol after he discovered Hughes with Mrs. Carroll on what he termed "a wild party." According to police, Katz was killed with a bullet from a .32 automatic and a gun of that description was found in Carroll's room. Carroll and Bridges owned the revolver and Bridges said it was owned by Carroll. Three months ago Mrs. Carroll sued for divorce and charged Carroll always carried a revolver and had threatened her life.

Robert M. La Follette, was to be drawn up here this afternoon at the first meeting of the Federation's executive council. The report will be submitted Monday at the initial session of the Federation's convention. Open announcement that endorsement of the third party will be contested has seen made by James O'Connell, president of the metal trade department, who in his annual address, declared he was not yet convinced it would be wise for the Federation to offer support to the movement. The metal trades group, holding its meetings prior to the general convention, elected these officers: President, Geo. F. Herrick, La Payette, Ind.; vice presidents, A. M. Huddell, Chelsea, Mass.; Steam Engineer Wm J. McHorley, Cleveland; Labor, John J. Hynes, Washington; Sheet Metal Workers, Jas P. Noonan, Washington; Electrical Workers E. J. McGiven, Chicago; Plasterers, Sec'y-Treasa, Wm. J. Tracy, U. S. department of labor. President Samuel Gompers, who has already arrived here, so far has taken no active part in any meetings. Last night he sent a message of sympathy to Luis Morones, head of the Mexican Federation of Labor, who was seriously wounded in a shooting in the Mexican house of deputies. AUTO BURNED Fullerton fire department was called at 11 a.m. today to extinguish a fire in an auto in front of R. G. Adams garage on S. Spadrard. The fire is said to have started when the gasoline tank overflowed on to the exhaust pipe. J. C. Anderson of the Santa Fe garage drove the car out of the filling station onto the street after the MILLIONS BURNED IN JERSEY CITY (Continued from Page One) steadily despite the efforts of firemen to check it. Six firemen felled by smoke and fumes were taken to the Jersey City hospital. Firemen who tried to approach the vicinity of the factory were driven back by dense, acid fumes which almost fell on them. From a distance they shot streams of water upon the blaze, but the deluge had little apparent effect. Residents of a series of frame dwellings within blocks of the scene of the fire were driven to the street, gasping for breath. The blaze spread to the plant of the Soapote Mfg. Co., as another series of explosions hurled flaming embers hundreds of feet. A score of firemen were endangered when a wall of the plant collapsed, sending a shower of sparks high into the air. JERSEY CITY, N. J., Nov. 14. —Fire which razed the saltpeter works of Battell and Renwlek, threatened the entire industrial district in lower Jersey City today. A general alarm called out almost over every piece of apparatus in the city to the scene. A terrific explosion shook the downtown section a few minutes after the fire had been discovered. Ambulances raced to the factory but whether any one had been killed or injured could not be learned immediately. The fire was said to be the greatest city has seen since the Black Tom explosions in 1916. FOUR COUNCILMEN VINDIATED AGAIN (Continued from Page One) Council also agreed to a suggestion of the public improvement committee that the beautiful 50-year-old sycamore trees on No. Palm-st, be permitted to stand with no one will extend two feet beyond the curb when the street is widened. Bids on autos for police patrol were rejected and it was decided to buy in the open market. Letters were received from Secy Geo. Reid of the C. of C. warmly commending council for co-operation in the Hallowe'en festival and to Mayor Metcalf for his efforts as judge. The letter stated that not one objection had been heard to the award of the judges. Petitions seeking the recall of Mayor Metcalf and Councilman Kotten Hargson and Slaback were Morones, head of the Mexican Federation of Labor, who was seriously wounded in a shooting in the Mexican house of deputies.

The fire is said to have started when the gasoline tank overflowed on to the exhaust pipe. J. C. Anderson of the Santa Fe garage drove the car out of the filling station onto the street after the fire started. The car, which was owned by Dan McKinley of the M. M. Copp Produce Co. of Los Angeles, was almost ruined. The fire was extinguished, principally with chemicals. MANY FAIL TO CAST BALLOTS (Continued from Page One) Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia and New Mexico. Davis ran ahead of Cox in 19 states—Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska; New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, North and South Carolina, Virginia and Utah. Davis ran behind Cox in 29 states—Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Minnesota Missouri Montana Nevada New Hampshire North Dakota Ohio Orego Pennsylvania South Dakota Tennessee Vermont Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming and New Mexico. La Follette ran ahead of Coolidge in but one state—Wisconsin. He ran ahead of Davis in eleven states—California, Idaho Minnesota Montannah Nevada North Dakota Oregon South Dakota Washington Wisconsin and Wyoming. In most of the states, the combined total for La Follette and Davis exceeded the Coolidge vote. There are many indications that La Follette cut far more deeply into Davis than into Coolidge. This is particularly true of the border states and the western states. In the border states like Kentucky and West Virginia and Maryland, La Follette took enough away from Davis to allow Coolidge to "squeeze thru." The following table, based on virtually complete, altho unofficial returns, tells the story: MANY SIGN FOR Bids on autos for police patrol were rejected and it was decided to buy in the open market.

The letter stated that not one objection had been heard to the award of the judges. Petitions seeking the recall of Mayor Metcalf and Councilman Knipe, Hasson and Slaback were filed. City Clerk Merritt was authorized to employ two assistants at $6 each per day to assist in checking. Councilman Stock was granted ten days' leave of absence from the state, his second request of the kind recently. A warrant for $1440 in favor of the Anaheim Union Water Co. for changing from open to closed ditches, handed down from the old city council, was referred to the city attorney since it is for more than $300 and bids were not called for. PROCLAIMS DATE OF EDUCATION WEEK WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—President Coolidge today issued a proclamation designating the period from Nov. 17 to Nov. 23 as American Education Week and recommending that the governors of the state issue proclamation emphasizing the services rendered by their educational institutions and calling upon the people to observe the occasion by appropriate action. COMMISSION SPLIT WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—The U. S. tariff commission is split, three to two, over its recommendation on the sugar tariff, Chairman Marvin reported to Pres. Coolidge today. Marvin said the report would be ready for the president shortly. Additional data on the relative costs of producing beet sugar in Cuba and the United States were requested by the president before jailing on proposals to change the sugar tariff. MANY SIGN FOR RECALL OF STOCK (Continued from Page One) sive councilman will be the biggest step forward the city could possibly make at this time. Stock has always been aligned with the old whiskey gang and is entirely out of sympathy with the drys who now are enormously in the minority in Anaheim. "I don't claim much credit for the election of Metcalf, Knipe, Hasson and Slaback, as all I did last spring was to go to the polls and vote for them. Now, however I consider that they have proved themselves to be the best council Anaheim has ever had, have fearlessly enforced the law and conducted the affairs of the city in a most admirable manner. I am ready to get out and work for that big vote of confidence which I am sure they will get. CONSUL SEEKS BRITISH CROOKS SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.—Gerald Campbell, British consul, appeared before a U. S. commissioner here today to institute proceedings for the extradition to Canada of three men, wanted to answer charges of alleged liquor conspiracy. Reports Premature PARIS, Nov. 14.—The finance ministry issued the following communique today: "Reports that negotiations have been completed between the Bank of France and J. P. Morgan and Co. for an American loan to France are premature." THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. At Falkenstein’s---Starting The Second Week of 25th Sales!
