Hubert Case of La Habra Floral Offerings Rivaled Only by Those at President's Bier MARION, Ohio, Nov. 24 — Marion's "trail of mourning" came into being again today. Scores of American flags, each at half mast in tribute to the wife of the 29th President of the United States, charted the course over which the body of Warren G. Harding was borne to Marion cemetery some 15 months ago. This afternoon the late president's wife was carried down that path to rest beside her husband. hundreds of persons braved the disagreeable weather to visit the old fashioned house where the body of Florence Kling Harding lay, awaiting the funeral hour. It is estimated 12,000 persons have been admitted within the last 24 hours to the home of Mrs. P. J. Longshore, niece of Mrs. Harding, to pay their respects. Everywhere in Marion, where Mrs. Harding grew from girlhood to become mistress of the White House, were signs of mourning. The floral offerings from all parts of the nation were rivalled in Marion only by the display at the blair of Pres. Harding himself. At the foot of the coffin lay the huge floral piece sent by Pres. Coqilidge. As 1:30 o'clock the funeral procession left the Longshore home for Epworth Methodist Episcopal Church, two blocks away, where Mrs. Harding worshipped from girlhood. Services at the church were brief in keeping with Mrs. Harding's wishes. Dr. Jesse Swang, pastor of Epworth Church, who conducted funeral services for Pres. Harding, delivered the sermon, after which Rev. Geo. M. Landis, pastor of Trinity Baptist church, where the late President worshipped, offered a prayer. Mrs. Harding's favorite song, "The End of A Perfect Day," concluded church services. The song was rendered by the Columbus, Ohio, Glee Club. Then began the solemn journey to Marion cemetery, and to the receiving vault which contains the body of President Harding. Services at the tomb were of the same brief character as those at the church. After a prayer by Dr. Swang, the body was placed beside that of the former president, where the bodies will remain until the completion of the Harding Memorial tomb. WIND BOWLS OVER OIL DERRICKS Four derricks of wells owned by the West Coast Oil Co. at Olinda were blown over and smashed to pieces and a considerable section of telephone poles and wires thrown down yesterday in the first of the season's "Santa Anas." Three of the derricks were used on walls that were active and will have to be replaced at once. Limbs of valuable fruit trees in the Placentia-Richfield district were torn off and various shade trees also damaged. In some places green leaves were whipped off the trees and formed carpet below them. Chief Bert Mody reported that many radio serials had been knocked down by the wind. Awarnings ripped up and in some instances green valencia oranges stripped off the trees. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n said the damage was no greater than took place every season. As a matter of fact the side of the tree struck by the wind never bears as heavily as the other sides, because the leaves are blown off, and whatever loss is suffered has been already discounted.

J. A. Geisinger, pastor of the White Temple, being one. There are some 14 active pastors in Anaheim Sunday after falling to reach Rev. Thomas H.

He was accompanied by a party of motion picture actors with Guaymas, Sorora, Mexico, as their destination. Asked if he intended to marry his leading woman, Miss Lita Grey, Chaplin merely smiled. “Are you going to be married?” reporters fairly shrieked at Chaplin but the condoian calmly looked across the border into Mexico and refused to reply. “I won’t say anything,” Chaplin declared as he climbed off the train which brot him here this afternoon.

Hubert Case of La Habra, charged with fighting and intoxication, has fined $50. An additional arrest in Anaheim, aftermath of the big prohibition enforcement raid, came when Lee Wirt of Anaheim, walked right into jail. Wirt same to the jail to bring some cigarettes to his brother, Theodore Wirt, and was much surprised, after he was inside the iron doors, to be informed that the officers also had a warrant for his arrest. He had just been released by federal authorities in Los Angeles on $2,000 bail for liquor charges, and did not understand how the local officers could pick him up again. Three liquor charges are pending against him here. He said if he ever got out of this he was going to lay off liquor for the rest of his life. An attempt was made this morning to bail out O. M. Jenkins who entered a plea of not guilty, to a liquor charge, but Judge Kuchel refused to accept bail because property offered as security was not clear. Jenkins' sister who had offered the bail when it was refused, began to cry. Judge Kuchel said: "It's no use crying around here. You'll have me crying." More than half of the 60 persons arrested last week in Orange County liqueur crusade were incarcerated illegally, it appeared from a decision handed down in Santa Ana today by Superior Judge F. C. Nelson, 25, an electric meter reader, after a hearing on a writ of habeas corpus. City Recorder W. H. Heathman of Santa Ana, and presumably Recorder Warner of Huntington Beach and Kuchel of Anaheim, had no legal authority to sign complaints and warrants in Fullerton, as was the case on the evening the gigantic raid was launched, Judge Drumm ruled. The decision, while interesting, will have no bearing on the status of a majority of the cases involved, courtAttaches agreed, for new complaints and warrants, drawn legally, have been served on a majority of the prisoners. Even in the case of Nelson, who had been at liberty under $250 bail fixed by Judge Drumm, the prisoner was immediately re-arrested. "Are you going to be married?" reporters fairly shrieked at Chaplin but the comedian calmly looked across the border into Mexico and refused to reply. "I won't say anything," Chaplin declared as he climbed off the train which brot him here this afternoon. RAISE ANTE FROM $300 TO $500 Here is something to cause bootleggers to sit down and weep. Judge French has raised the ante from $300 to $500. This was announced this morning when the remainder of those held in the Fullerton jail captured in the prohibition enforcement raid last week began to come up for trial. One new face had been added to the list liquor prisoners over the week end. It was that of M. L. Bryant, picked up by the "federal" near Santa Fe Springs Saturday night. He entered pleas of not guilty to the two charges of sale of intoxicating liquors when brot before Judge French this morning. His bail was fixed at $500 on each charge, and he was told that unless he changes his plea by this evening he will be taken to the federal prison in Los Angeles. He is seriously considering changing his plea, it is said. Other prisoners captured in the raid, appearing before Judge French today and entering pleas of guilt were: Ray and Ernest Osuna, of Placeau, and Juan Escarrega, of Placentia. Each was fined $500, or sentenced to 500 days in the Orange-so jail. None had paid their fine today. Arthur Hayes of the California Hotel is also to come later before Judge French. He is now out on $500 bail. Arthur Eells, chief of police says that all the warrants in the hands of his force have now been served, arrests in the Fullerton district during the raids amounting to 15. Bernardo Garcia and Jose Alonza, both of Placentia, appeared before Judge French today on sensational Details To Victim's Asserted Marital Relations Following a line of clues that leads to a life of apparent "free love," of babies born out of wedlock and of a "triangle" that resulted in a fight for parental custody of one of the babies, the sheriff's office at Santa Ana today was seeking the slayer or slayers of Archie L. Haverstick, 28, of Los Angeles, whose body, with a bullet wound in the rear of the head, was found at noon yesterday on an isolated portion of the beach two miles south of Serra. Details of the victim's asserted illegal marital relations proved to the investigators to be as bizarre and sensational as the circumstances under which the man's life was mysteriously taken and the body discarded. Haverstick, a contractor's foreman, left Los Angeles touring car, for San Diego, according to information given by a young Spanish girl, mother of the victim's two-months' old boy, but according to the admission of a brother, not his wife. A watch and ten cents was found on the body. No blood was found on sand, nor in the man's car, located on the highway, headed toward Santa Ana, 500 yards away. Three coats belonging to Haverstick and two blankets, were in the car, as was a rusty platoil, which hadn't been discharged for months. Learning of the purportedlict love affair with Haverstick's present "wife", authorities at Santa Ana learned from E. L. Haverstick, a brother, who lives at Hawthorne, and identified the body that Haverstick, a former sailor, had been in disputes with a man named Christenson, of the U.S.S. Boston as to which was the father of Mrs. Christenson's three-year-old son. Both claimed to be its father, the brother admitted under examination, and Haverstick's mother, at Hawthorne, now has custody of the baby. Sheriff Sam Jenigan, while declining to say how much significance he attached to this fact stated an effort was being made to locate Christenson at San Diego for questioning. He was not on his ship in San Diego harbor; however, naval officers wired the sheerf. Mrs. Alice Haverstick, the "wife" in Los Angeles, collapsed when she was informed of the tragedy. So far as authorities can learn, she is the third woman with whom the murder victim has bad love affairs. The EL PASO, Tex., American Federation cided definitively today what any political party United States. In accepting a resolution committed here decided that an action must maintain a partisan political advantage to less of party affiliation vowed down tensions asking for immigration of a distinct lab. EL PASO, Nov. 24 Jean Federation of Indiana formally go definitely in on participating in any time in the format political party in States. Particularly it was the Federation as an organization should not join in a distinct Labor party.

But until that taken place, the Committee devoted it betterment of America not participate a new party or in old What individual Beach and Kuchen or Anahale, had no legal authority to sign complaints and warrants in Fullerton, was the case on the evening of the gigantic raid was launched, Judge Drumm ruled. The decision, while interesting, will have no bearing on the status of a majority of the cases involved, court attaches agreed, for new complaints and warrants, drawn legally, have been served on a majority of the prisoners. Even in the case of Nelson, who had been at liberty under $250 bail fixed by Judge Drumm, the prisoner was immediately re-arrested on the new form of warrant and complaint, drawn up under the Wright act, a state statute, instead of under city ordinance, as was the case of the voided documents. Judge Drumm rendered his decision after he had heard the testimony of Recorder Heathman. The "colonel," as he is commonly called, admitted no complaints had been filed with hi min Santa Ana, but that he signed the warrants arrest at the home in Fullerton of William Starbuck, where the complaints first were shown him. On questioning by Judge Drumm, he admitted also that he had not been requested in writing either by the city recorder or justice of peace of Fullerton to act officially in that city or township. The law governing such case clearly had not been compiled with, according to Deputy Dist. Claims ofpport Shown Up urday told a Plain Dealer man that he was not a member of the club. Far then from "most of the leading ministers" being members of the club only two, with Rev Peter Brown of St. Boniface's possible third, are members. The Plain Dealer on Saturday, out of courtesy for individual pastors, refrained from quoting them personally. Many of them objected even to their names being used. It is not believed they reversed their attitude overnight, so the only conclusion is that the Bulletin failed to show them the same courtesy. Arthur Hayes of the California Hotel is also to come later before Judge French. He is now out on $500 bail. Arthur Eells, chief of police, says that all the warrants in the hands of his force have now been served, arrests in the Fulllerton district during the raids amounting to 15. Bernardo Garcia and Jose Alonza, both of Placentia, appeared before Judge French today on charges of stealing walnuts. They were sentenced to 60 days each in the Orange-coal jail. LOS ALAMITOS WOMAN BURNED Mrs. Nella Bradbury, 67, living one and one-half mile north of Los Alamitos, was badly burned at her home this morning when her clothes caught fire from a gas heater, and burned from her before her husband and married daughter who were present were able to extinguish the flames. Both of them were burned about the hands and arms in attempting to do so. Mrs. Bradbury was taken to the Artistry hospital in a Seale ambulance, where she is said to be in a critical state. COLLECTIONS OFF WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. The treasury department announced today that the internal revenue collections from July 1 to Oct. 31, 1924, amounted to $736,165,423 as compared with $815,540,888 for the same period in 1923, a decrease of $79,373,465. LOOT FOUR SAFES ROCHESTER, N. Y., Nov. 22—A police dragnet was out-today for three well dressed cracksmen who looted four safes in the McCurdy department store of $20-000 in cash and three fur coats, after handcuffing the watchman to an elevator. Atty. C. N. Mozley who represented the people, and Judge Drumm, so the order to grant the writ and to discharge the prisoner was given promptly. While this angle was being investigated, the officers also were trying to determine why Haverstick was carrying in his pocket a clipping from a Los Angeles newspaper telling of a Mrs. Charlotte Shuck, recently released there after she was arrested on a charge of bigamy involving five asserted husbands. Above the name of Mrs. Alice Haverstick, in the victim's notebook were the words "five times." Haverstick's name was never mentioned in the Shuck hearing, it was determined. As a detail of the assorted "dispute" between Haverstick and Christenson, the brother stated that two weeks ago the latter, with a group of other sailors, attempted to kidnap the three-year-old son, whose parentage is disputed, at the home of Haverstick's mother. Haverstick succeeded in holding the boy, but Christenson, in leaving, is claimed to have shouted, "Well you still have him, but remember the U.S.S. Boston is still afloat." Altho at an inquiry, to be held at 3 p.m. today at Winbigler's chapel, where an autopsy is to be made, new circumstances may be divulged; these theories of murder have been advanced by the sheriff's office. All but the one involving Christenson seem to be discounted generally: The victim gave strangers a ride—that these killed him. Relatives of former wives may be involved—no motive for this has been advanced. Rum runners may have avenged a "double-cross" or a fight (Continue on Page Six) At the same time pointed out that it increasingly evidences was coming about States a realignment tabulated parties be called conservatives hand and the Liberals.

LABOR URGED TO STAY OUT OF POLITICS EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 24 — The American Federation of Labor decided definitely today that it would take no share whatever in forming any political party in the United States. In accepting a report from the resolutions committee, the convention here decided that the Federation must maintain a strictly non-partisan political supporting candidates favorable to labor regardless of party affiliations. The convention voted down two resolutions asking for immediate formation of a distinct labor party. EL PASO, Nov. 24 — The American Federation of Labor convention today formally was asked to go definitively on record against participating in any way at this time in the formation of a new political party in the United States. Particularly it was urged that the Federation as an organization should not join in establishing a distinct Labor party. These recommendations were contained in a report from the resolutions committee which advocated strict maintenance of the Federation's non-partisan political policy. An adverse report was submitted on two resolutions which would have the Federation assist in forming a party in the United States patterned after the British Labor party. At the same time the committee pointed out that it was becoming increasingly evident that there was coming about in the United States a realignment of the old established parties between the so-called conservatives on the one hand and the Liberals on the other. But until that should have taken place, the committee said the Federation, devoted to the economic betterment of American workers, should not participate in forming a new party or in realigning the old What individual members did "HOT TRAIL" IN FURNACE MURDER COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 24 — Following a "hot trail", county authorities and police detectives here today are continuing their joint investigation in an effort to solve the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Mrs. C. V. Sheatsley, whose charred remains are believed to have been those found a week ago today in the furnace in the basement of the Brxley Lutheran Church parsonage. County Prosecutor King and other officials probing the mystery refused to make public any of the circumstances connected with the "hot trail", which it was announced was unearthed Sunday. King planned to question many persons, including neighbors of the Sheatsleys in the hope of learning what took place in the Sheatsleys home just prior to the discovery of the charred remains. Officials working on the case feel that this missing information, if obtained, may bring about solution of the mystery. Despite the oft-expressed opinion of Rev. Mr. Sheatsley that his wife committed suicide by crawling into the furnace, the congregation believe Mrs. Sheatsley was murdered. The congregation unanimously adopted a resolution Sunday embodying a prayer for divine guidance "that the real culprit in the baffling case will be discovered and brot to justice." The resolution also registered the congregation's sympathy for Rev. Mr. Sheatsley and family, and "our unqualified confidence in the integrity and nobility of character which our pastor has uniformly exhibited among us." Dr. C. H. Wells, Sheatsley family physician, today declared that Mrs. Sheatsley "was never a day in her life here", that No Confirmation Today Of Reports Martial Law is Declared OTTAWA, Ont., Nov. 24 — The alarm created by the British-Egyptian crisis made itself felt here this afternoon. A number of Canadian army officers, who served with distinction in the world war, cabled the war office in London offering their services at any time they are required. The Canadian government received a confidential message from London in the afternoon which, it was reported, had to do with the attitude Canada shall assume in the event that the crisis reached a dangerous stag. CAIRO, Nov., 24 — Zaghloul Pasha, premier of the Egyptian government resigned this afternoon after an all night conference with his cabinet over the tense situation in Egypt. Ahmed Ziwat Pasha former minister of communication was designated premier to succeed him. British forces were ordered to occupy the customs house at Cairo today as the first step in the British reprisals against Egypt for refusal to comply with London's demands Saturday. The 500,000 pounds sterling demanded to indemnify England for the assassination of Sir Lee Stack was paid at 11:45 o'clock by check. It was accompanied by a brief note, protecting the other demands, including evacuation of Egyptian forces from the Sudan, mfwyp sr., mfwm, mfwm yd. The British today expected to take steps toward the expansion of Egyptian forces from the Sudan, forcing compliance with this demand in the British note. It still is problematical whether the native Sudanese forces, under British officers, will be used for this purpose. The government has been given full use of the police to preserve order. The steel-heldmed officers are parading the streets on the watch for any signs of outbreaks. The students' strike in protest to the British demands continued today despite orders of the minister of education to return to their studies. Police have been called on frequently to break up minor disturbances. A squadron of airplanes has been sent from Cairo to Tanta, which is a hotbed of opposition. Agitation there already reported there may break out into violence. The governor of Ansura ordered the flogging of students who started an anti-British demonstration. Gen. Allenby made a trip to the hospital today and presented 1000 pounds sterling to the native policeman who chased attackers attempting to disarm a parade. At the same time the committee pointed out that it was becoming increasingly evident that there was coming about in the United States a realignment of the old established parties between the so-called conservatives on the one hand and the Liberals on the other. But until that should have taken place, the committee said the Federation, devoted to the economic betterment of American workers should not participate in forming a new party or in realigning the old. What individual members did in this respect, however, was not at this time the concern of the Federation as an organization declared the committee. This was taken to mean that the Federation would say nothing to individual members or groups who might participate in the meetings of the conference for progressive political action, called for next month to discuss the formation of a new party. Several delegates to the convention such as Wm. H. Johnston, president of the Machinists, are prominent in the progressive conference and they said today they would participate in the meeting at Washington next month. Johnston called the conference. The report was largely a review of the recommendations of the executive council on policies. The council declared that the Federation best could secure favorable labor legislation by working with in the old parties rather than flying off with some new political movement. Adoption of the report by an overwhelming vote was predicted. The commission also denounced some recent labor decision by the supreme court condemned the use of injunctions in strikes and urged enactment of a constitutional amendment whereby congress by a two-thirds vote could override decisions of the supreme court. The council was asked to approve military training camps in the United States if after investigation it found that these camps were for the upbuilding of the mind and body and patriotic spirit of Aemrican youth and not for the illification of war. In the event of war, it was urged taut the government conscript not only man power but labor and wealth as well. $15,000 DAMAGE FROM G. G.
