The executive committee of the Anti-Saloon League of America, headed by Wayne H. Wheeler, today presented to Pres. Coolidge a resolution calling attention to the need of various reforms in the enforcement of prohibition and outlining the legislative program desired by the league. The resolution urged particularly the adoption of the so-called Cramton bill, which would mite law enforcement work into one bureau and which would place all federal prohibition agents under civil service. SAYS FULFILLED GOT $7,500 FOR "DIVIDE" Hollywood Banker Heavyweight Tole Fight was "Fix" LOS ANGELES, Nov. going to take a dive $7,500 for doing it." It was not Annette B speaking, but husky Fre St. Paul heavyweight and he made the abo ment to James McNea D. J. H. Cole, Vice-President, Leaves On Eastern Trip Including among the objects of his trip the seeking of factories for Anaheim, Dr. J. H. Cole, well known local physician property owner, and vice-president of the new Anaheim City Club, will leave Friday for Chicago and New England. Dr. Cole is a New Yorker who has been in California some five years. He is personally acquainted with several factory heads, and on his last trip east received informal overtures from two different men in the matter of opening factories in California. In his opinion, branches of eastern factories should first be sourced because there is bound to be some difficulty in getting a large number of experienced operatives to come out. One of the two offers made to him was for a boot and shoe factory. The superintendent of this plant, which was at North Adams, Mass., proposed to start a factory of his own, and later did so at Middlebrook, Mass. The other plant was a collar factory at Bennington, Vt. Despite trade opposition in Troy, N.Y., where most of the collar, cuff and shirt factories of any size are located, this plant has done a wonderful business. Another possibility still is an apron kind assistant towel factory in Chicago. In Dr. Cole's view, many New England factories would be glad to start branches in California. If some aid were given them. The highest paid employees of the book and shoe factories of Massachusetts are of American stock, and would make desirable additions to any community. The machinery of these factories is owned by the United Machinery Co., which merely rentals and does not sell the machines. For this reason the original outlet is much less than ordinarily. CHARGE BAD CHECK Ditis Stigall of Laguna Beach, questioned by the authorities at the time Constable Howard Cox was mysteriously wounded at the beach one morning three weeks ago; today pleaded not guilty to a charge of passing a fictitious cheek and Judge R.

This testimony was offered today by Montague Noel Newton as a description of how the young millionaire prince of India acted when he broke into a Paris hotel bedroom and found "Mr. A." with Mrs. Maude Robinson. Newton who testified that Mrs. Robinson was the author of the $750,000 blackmail trap by which the young prince was muted, that he was the brain of its execution, resumed the stand today and detailed the incidents of the plot's fruition. He is the star witness for a claim he said was $3000 pounds sterling for the Midland bank in its defense of the suit of Charles Robinson, the husband, to recover $625,000 of the blackmail money he says his associates illegally withdrew from the bank. Newton testified that his own illness made it necessary that the plot be carried out quickly. There was uncertainty about being able to catch the young prince with Mrs. Robinson in London, he continued, so the English officer who was the prince's alde de camp, suggested the scene of the drama's denouncement be transferred to Paris. Mrs. Robinson, her companion, Mrs. Lillian Bevan, and all concerned were consulted. Mrs. Robinson had a daughter, Newton said, but she was not present at any of the conferences. So the participants in the plot moved to Paris. On his arrival, Newton said he met Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Bevan at their hotel and Mrs. Robinson pointed out her bedroom. "The doors will be unlocked," Newton said she told him. He entered in the early morning at about 6 o'clock. Mrs. Robinson jumped out of bed and attacked him, crying, "My Hollywood Banker Heavyweight Tole Fight was 'Fixe' LOS ANGELES, Nov. going to take a dive for $7,500 for doing it."

Mrs. Robinson had a daughter, Newton said, but she was not present at any of the conferences. So the participants in the plot moved to Paris, On his arrival, Newton said he met Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Bevan at their hotel and Mrs. Robinson pointed out her bedroom. "The doors will be unlocked," Newton said she told him. He entered in the early morning at about 6 o'clock. Mrs. Robinson jumped out of bed and attacked him, crying. "My brute of a husband. It's just the sort of thing you would do," he testified. "She mauled me about," the witness continued, "and scratched me so that I had to tell her to stop or she would tear the clothes from my back." "The young prince tried to calm Mrs. Robinson." "After all, he's a husband, Maudie," he told her, but the moral philosophy of that point seemed lost on Mrs. Robinson, according to Newton. At this point, counsel asked how the young potentate took the situation. "If it's possible for a gentleman of color to turn green, that's what he did," Newton replied. Newton then left the hotel, he continued, and later the aide de camp came to him and said the prince had left the details of hushing it up to him. That same afternoon Newton, Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Bevan and the aide de camp returned to London on the same train. Some time later, the aide de camp produced two checks, each for 150,000 pounds. One could be cashed immediately and arrangements were being made to meet the second, Newton testified. When it was feared Scotland Yard would intervene, Robinson said he wanted nothing more to do with the affair, Newton said. At that time, William Cooper Hobbs, described as another of the conspirators, announced he had been given a power of attorney by Robinson. Newton testified it was arranged to offer Robinson 20,000 pounds for himself and the ladies, the rest of the 150,000 pounds being divided between Newton, Hobbs and the aide de camp.

Fulton and his manager, Jack Reedy, and Tony Fuente and his director, Fred (Windy) Winsor, gasped as the Hollywood banker took the stand as the first important witness in the investigation of charges that the quartet participated in a prize fight in violation of California law, and unwound his story. McNeal, an old friend of Fulton, said Fulton told him that he did not have to be in condition to fight Fuente "as the thing was all fixed" and he was ready "to do his diving act." James J. Jeffries, former world champion heavyweight, Tom Jones, manager of three former world champions, and scores of other ring celebrities, summoned as witnesses in the case, were convulsed with laughter as the trial progressed. Attorneys for Fuente and Winsor brought forth laughter that rocked the court room when they questioned James Gordon, manager of the American Legion stadium where the Fulton-Fuente bout was staged. Gordon stuttered he saw Fuente at the start of the fight swing at Fulton and miss and then saw Fuente hit the St. Paul plaster-pugilist two glancing blows and Fulton went down and out. "Well, would you call that a prize-fight—now remember these defendants are charged with conducting a prize fight?" demanded the Fuente-Winsor attorneys. Gordon stuttered. "That's a hard one to answer," Gordon replied, as a gate shook the courtroom. Earl Mohan, who acted as referee of the now famous "dive fight", testified he lost his head and said he should have disqualified Fulton, and declared the bout a no contest affair, instead of raising Fuente's hand, as he did after Fulton sprawled out for the ten count. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26—Fred Winsor, manager of Tony Fuente, Mexican heavyweight, received an offer today for treatment. Crucible steel jumped 8 points and Gulf State, Beth., Vanadium, Republic, Colo Fuel and Iron, Ann. Steel Foundry, Replogle and other stocks in this group gained from 1 to 3 points. FEAR FLYERS WRECKED IN MOUNTANS SAN DIEGO, Nov. 26.—Fifteen navy planes took off this afternoon to search for Harry A. Mitchell attached to the air station on North Island and Fred A. Miner, missing in an airplane owned by Mitchell since Sunday. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 26.—Beltrad to have crashed somewhere in the mountains northeast of here. Harry A. Mitchell, aviation rigger of first class attached to the naval air station on North Island and Fred A. Miner, of Sheridan Cal., today were the objects of an extensive search conducted throughout So. Cal., following their prolonged absence since Sunday, when they are believed to left a flying field at Chula Vista, near here, in a plane owned and built by Mitchell. A detachment of naval planes and marines were ready today to join in the search for the missing pair and comb the mountains east of here. Discovery of the cloudland mystery was made when officers at the air station, concerned over Mitchell's absence after his liberty had expired, went to the Chula Vista flying field where he kept his plane. There they were told that Mitchell had not been seen since Sunday afternoon when he took plane into the air and headed toward the northeast. An auto registered in Miner's name was also found parked at the flying field. This, coupled with the fact that for more than a year Mitchell is known to have engaged in commercial flying during his spare time, led to the belief that Miner was a passenger with Mitchell when his plane leaped into the air. Because of strong winds Sunday and that the missing plane headed toward the northeast it was pointed out that the pair may have crashed in the mountains.

LABOR BOARD SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.—The charge was contained in a statement issued today by Pres. Wm. Sproule of the So. Pac. Co. that the striker vote now being taken by engineer employed on the Pacific system of the railroad is a move to discredit the railroad labor board and promote the passage by congress of the Howell-Barkley bill." The statement added that this bill if passed "will serve to deprive the public of a determining vote in fixing the rates of pay and working conditions of railroad employees." There has been no change in the cost of living that would justify the increased wages demanded by the leaders of the engineers' organization." President Sprout's statement declared.

What counts is not merely the established patronage and fame of a concern, but its reliability and the knowledge of value given for value received on which the patronage depends. "In a small city the patrons of any concern are pretty well limited. The seller and buyer get to know each other well, and the former becomes personally responsible for every transaction made. He must stand behind his goods and uphold his reputation. "The big city store may furnish guarantees the same as those provided by the small town establishment, but however reliable the former is the loss of a customer means much less to it and it does not have to protect itself against such loss in the same ways or to the same extent. "The metropolitan stores aren't run by crooks. But the big city business of all sorts tends to become more and more impersonal, and less and less emphasis is placed on personal service and responsibility."

Find Liquor in Locker of Pupil at Junior High School Santa Ana Parents of school children today were discussing with considerable fervor the reported finding in the Frances Willard Junior High School that pupils were drinking liquor, at least in small quantities, and the release on bail of Mrs. Ida Krebel, reputed wealthy widow, accused by L. A. Warren, truant officer, of contributing to the delinquency of two of her three children by giving them wine. School authorities also were reported to be discussing means of ridding forever the connection of liquor with school affairs, so far as they pertain to its use by pupils. Mrs. Kredel, charged jointly with W. H. Corey, said to reside at her home at 1319 North Broadway, was in Justice Jack Landell's court at a late hour yesterday, when details of the seemingly sensational case came to light. Officials at the school, it was learned, had suspected for some time that liquor was in evidence, but the finding of it did not come until one of the Kredel boys came into a classroom in such condition as to shift the search to his locker. Two whiskey bottles filled with wine were reported to have been found. The two Kredel boys at the school, Philip, 14, and Donald, 12, were said to have admitted to Principal W. H. Kellogg, under grilling; that their mother and the man made the product and they often had been given the concoction to drink at home sometimes before asserted "parties," when they were put to bed.

Bail was fixed at $500 in each case, which sum was posted immediately.
