Bulgin Preaches Tonight On What Christ Would Do in Anaheim Feb. 3
More than 1500 people crowded the vast tabernaole at Claudina and Wilhelmina-sits last night to hear Dr E. J. Bulgin, evangelist, who preached on "The Unreasonable Demands of an Infidel," or "The Infidel's God." Dr. Bulgin took his text from Mat. 27:40: "If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross." He read in connection with this portion of the 23rd chapter of Luke, and a portion of the 22nd Psalm, where the death and suffering of Jesus was minutely described by David more than a thousand years before. "The Old Testament contains the New; the New reveals the Old."
Following the Scriptural reading, Alvin Carter, soloist, sang, "Have You Porgotten God?" accompanied on the piano by Roy Gourley, pianist. Gourley said that one time you forget God is when you eat your meal and never thank Him for it. Another time is when you rejoice over your business prosperity, and never thank Him.
Bulgin said that forgetting God is one of the great crimes of California. People cross the Rocky mountains, and say, "Goodbye, Jesus, I'm going to California." You know that's so. He rapped attempts to keep the liquor interests in power in Anaheim. "If Anaheim wants settlers of the right kind she must give them a clean town. If you want to appeal to the other type, then that's alright. Put the liquor men in power and the Church of Jesus Christ under the table like a yellow dog. Abe Lincoln once said in recommending a book: 'This is the very thing for you, if you like that sort of a thing.'"
The preaching service was preceded by an extended song service by the choir, composed of singers from all the Protestant churches in town. There was a large increase in the number of singers over the previous night, the choir loft being almost filled. Any additional singer who wishes to join is invited. Dr. George A. Francis, pastor of the First Baptist church of Orange, delivered the invocation, and prayer services were announced by Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, who urged that the people of Anaheim back up Dr. Bulgin with their prayers.
Alvin Carter sang "Everything Is Alright in My Father's House" and Roy Gourley gave musical variations of "Happy Day Since Jesus Took My Sins Away."
Dr. Bulgin said that he would rather look a California audience in the theater to Secretary of Labor Davis.
TRAINS MEET IN SMUDGE; ONE DEAD
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.
Plunging through dense clouds of "smudging" smoke near San Bernardino fruit groves today, a Pacific Electric Express car ploughed into the rear end of a freight train, killing one man, probably fatally injuring another and hurting one otehr less seriously.
The dead: C. Durbin, 40 motorman, Los Angeles.
Injured: E. Wallace, American Express employee, internal injuries.
B. F. Mann, conductor, Los Angeles, severe bruises.
SIX-YEAR RECORD BROKEN BY COLD
Yesterday marked the longest period of continuous smudging in citrus fruit groves of So. Calif., in six years, according to Floyd Young, of U.S. Weather Bureau at Pomona.
Temperatures in the Anaheim district have continued to range above freezing, even during the coldest hours of the night or morning.
George L. Sloop, inspector of the County Horticultural Commission's office, said this morning that damage in the district would be "very, very small."
One of the exchange association managers today charged that independents were shipping fruit which showed a drying of more than the legal 15 per cent by turning into each box of good oranges up to 15 per cent of the inferior fruit. This mixed fruit, good and bad together, passed the requirements of the law, but hurt the reputation of the South.
Prices are showing wider discrepancies than when fruit is untouched by frost. The top figure of $7.95 was reached again yesterday at New York on 100s and there were several other prices of Mrs. Jessie Wall, Mrs. Ward, Frank Martin and Wall, dry investigators cured evidence before they county liquor raids, were today under $500 bail trial of their cases on a contributing to the delinquency a minor Santa Ana boy him to buy liquor will be fore Justice K.

The four appeared first court on their own volition.
"The whole thing is Ward declared. We extend sort of thing in our work become disgruntled when their friends or relatives ped in violations, and whatever recourse they fail.
"We candidly expect that dicated in justice court hope to prove our contender fore the case gets as far superior court.
"We will show that, after ing extraordinary precautions obtain proper ages of proof are trailing. Likewise, show the character of this case."
Ward said the law firm nah and Fredericks of Los Angeles, of which Congressmen is a member, would the four investigators.
The case was brought to district attorney's office Martin Shields, prominent Ana resident, whose son Shields, was arrested at off the raids on evidence by the four investigators.
Testimony in the case is the effect that the four stopped Shields, asked him gin was yet, and the Shields answered in the offered to procure liquor Santa Ana drug store.

to Join is invited. Dr. George A. Francis, pastor of the First Baptist church of Orange, delivered the invocation and prayer services were announced by Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, who urged that the people of Anaheim back up Dr. Bulgin with their prayers.
Alvin Carter sang "Everything is Alight in My Father's House" and Roy Gourley gave musical variations of "Happy Day Since Jesus Took My Sins Away."
Dr. Bulgin said that he would rather look a California audience in the face than those of any other state, that California has the cream of all the states. We have everything in California. It is destined to be a great nation of itself, if we can keep booze away, Booze don't mix well with this mixed blood.
He announced the children's afternoon meetings under the direction of Mr. Gourley, and said tell the child to stay away and he would sure come. I've had an example of that right here in Anaheim. But, seriously, he invited the members of his audience to loan Mr. Gourley their children on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, and he promised that they would be taught truths which would stay with them as long as they live. Mr. Gourley illustrates the gospel by sleight of hand demonstrations, designed to be both instructive and entertaining. If we can't change the old soaks, at least we can save the children who will be the man and woman of tomorrow. To illustrate this, he told the story of a boy who was bitten by a gander. His father gave him a cane and told him to kill the gander. He killed a bunch of goatkins instead. The father asked, "Why did you do that?" "Because," replied the boy, "I knew they all be ganders some day."
Dr. Bulgin announced for his text tonight, "Christ and Sociology;" or, "What Would Christ Do If He Were Is Anaheim now—or on February 37."
Dr. Bulgin said that Christ on the cross was confronted with every form of atheism. The common people challenged him: "Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself." The Jewish official said: "He saved others, let him himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God." Roman soldiers said: "If thou be the King of the (Continued on Page Two) managers today charged that independents were shipping fruit which showed a drying of more than the legal 15 per cent by turning into each box of good oranges up to 15 per cent of the inferior fruit.

Always Expected in Dry Law Enforcement, Says Ward
Mrs. Jessie Wall, Mrs. Beverly Ward, Frank Martin and E. R. Wall, dry investigators who procured evidence before the recent county liquor raids, were at liberty today under $500 bail each, and trial of their cases on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor Santa Ana boy by urging him to buy liquor will be held before Justice K. E. Morrison, Feb. 6.
The four appeared in justice court on their own volition.
"The whole thing is a farce," Ward declared. "We expect this sort of thing in our work. People become disgruntled when they or their friends or relatives are trapped in violations, and they take whatever recourse they find available."
"We candidly expect to be vindicated in justice court, and we hope to prove our contention before the case gets as far as the superior court."
"We will show that, altho taking extraordinary precautions, it sometimes becomes impossible to obtain proper ages of people we are trailing. Likewise, we will show the character of the boy in this case."
Ward said the law firm of Hanah and Fredericks of Los Angeles, of which Congressman Fredricks is a member, would defend the four investigators.
The case was brought through the district attorney's office by Martin Shields, prominent Santa Ana resident, whose son, Ivory Shields, was arrested at the time of the raids on evidence procured by the four investigators.
Testimony in the case was to the effect that the four sleuths stopped Shields, asked him if "his sin was yet," and that after shields answered in the negative offered to procure liquor at a Santa Ana drug store. He obtained a pint, it was testified.
Asked if he would ever appear as an investigator again in the county, Ward replied, "I hope so."

UNDERWOOD BILL AGAIN ADOPTED
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14—After weeks of wrangling and incision the senate today passed finally the Underwood Muscle Shoals bill.
The bill now goes to conference between the two houses, where differences between it and the Henry Ford offer accepted2by the lower chamber must be ironed out. In conference administration leaders hope to revise the Underwood bill to meet the recommendations and wishes of Pres. Coolidge.
Just before the final ballot, the Underwood bill was substituted by the senate without record vote for the Ford bld of the house.
The vote on passage was 50 to 30.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.—For the second time within a week the senate this afternoon adopted the Underwood bill for disposing of the government's huge Muscle Shoals water power project.
The Underwood plan was substituted for the Norris government ownership bill, which the senate adopted late yesterday. It was the second time this substitution was made by the senate. As a result, the senate was runnily a perfect legislative circle, having again returned to the spot it occupied a week ago, with final enactment of the bill no nearer.
The vote was 46 to 33, with the Norris group getting only scattered support from the Republican side. The Underwood forces combined both administration and Democratic support and a minor faction irreconcilably opposed to government ownership. On its previous adoption, the Underwood plan won by a vote of 37 to 36 with the same lines maintained as in today's ballot.

Police Resort to Radio In Effort to Locate Devotee of Jazz
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.—While radio and every police agency was set in motion today to find 16-year-old Dorothy Ellingson, beautiful devotee of jazz, police were confronted with two thoories as to how her mother, Mrs. Annie Ellingson, came to her death.
Earl Ellingson, a brother, told police he believed his mother died at the hand of his sister. The mother was shot to death.
The girl's father, doubly sadened by the death of his wife and the mysterious disappearance of his daughter, was equally emphatic, police said; that the staying was the work of one Dorothy's jazz associates.
"She couldn't have done that," he said brokenly. "It must have been one of those fellows she ran around with."
Police said they were withholding their opinion until they could question the girl and redoubled their efforts to find her.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 14.—Mysteriously slain, apparently as she stooped to lace her shoes, Mrs. Annie Ellingson was found dead in her home at 256 Third-ave. A bullet from a 45 calibre revolver had pierced her body. The revolver with two cartridges discharged was found in the bathroom.
And today police started a search for her daughter Dorothy. 16, bobbed haired and beautiful who is missing. According to Earl Ellingson, son of the slain woman, his sister's clothes had been hurriedly packed. When he returned home and found his mother's body he said he discovered a trunk had been partially emptied and a suitcase gone. Mrs. Ellingson's purse, empty, lay on the dresser. The son said it had contained some silver and a $25 money order.
According to police the daughter is a former ward of the juvenile court and according to the son mother and daughter frequently quarreled over the girl's desire to live her life as she chose.
A letter from a former sweetheart of the girl in Los Angeles inviting her to come there furnished the police with a clue to her possible whereabouts and Los Angeles police were asked to seek her and hold her for questioning.
Beside the dead woman lay a verse. It read:
"Let the old life be covered by the new,
The old past, so full of sad mistakes,
Let it be wholly hidden by the bath as usual.

WEALTHY BOMBAY MERCHANT SLAIN
BOMBAY, Jan. 14—Interest increased to a concert pitch today by developments which followed the murder of Abdul Bawla rich young Bombay merchant, by Parthan thugs.
It was revealed by the authorities that Mumtaz, a beautiful Nautch girl, was the cause of the attack and that this girl was known on two continents as the consort of an east Indian poten-tate.
The murder occurred when the young merchant was riding in his limousine on Malabar Hill with the girl. The thugs stabbed him many times, tried to kidnap the girl, and, falling in this, slashed her face to mar her beauty.
Bawla, the merchant, on his deathbed, bequeathed half of his estate to the girl, and the other half to her mother, who was a former dancing girl.
The girl's father surrendered to the police today and asked for protection. He will be held, the police said, on a charge of having been implicated in the attack on Bawla.
Authorities said the girl once accompanied the Maharajah to London.
GUMMEDDEN
Resolutions of Kiwanis and C. of C. Prove Big Boomerangs
Harry Turton, prominent auto distributor and fifth candidate of law enforcement advocates at the recall election Feb. 3, was the biggest man in Anaheim today.
Congratulations poured in on him for his display of stamina yesterday when J. A. Geissinger, political preacher, and a few others of the clique which has given Anaheim a demonstration of the rule or ruin spirit, forced a resolution thrue the Kiwanis club dictating that Turton drop out of the councilicrain race under penalty of forfeit of membership in the club.
The resolution was forced thru the club despite the fact its by-laws expressly preclude such factional politics and the Kiwanis district convention recently went on record reaffirming that position.
Turton's friends knew he was a man that could be depended on. The action of the Kiwanis club has demonstrated that to the entire community in the most effective manner possible.
It is no secret that before Turton announced himself as a candidate against G. J. Stock, last of the old wet political machine on the city council, the ticket makers o the U. S. A. club bescought him to run on their slate.
Since announcing himself Turton has been subjected to a continuous siege of cajolery and threats by U. S. A. club representatives culminating in the insulting resolution yesterday. Even after adoption of the resolution, Geissinger headed a committee to interview Turton in a final attempt to get him to withdraw so that Stock would be re-elected by default. Similar tactics were employed by the same political clique just before last spring's election.
Turton's nomination papers were filed this morning shortly before the time for filing closed at noon.
If the Kiwanis action has made votes for the law enforcement advocates, the resolution adopted by C. of C. directors has done even more. No attempted political trick ever had a greater flareback. Most bitter in their denunciation of the resolution as dirty politics were C. of C. members themselves who were never given a chance to vote on it. As one prominent member who has "been on the fence" said today:
"I can see now, just as Mayor Metcalf said yesterday, it is the same little clique that is causing all the disturbance in the various

J. Burns, former Attorney Gen. Harris M. Daugherty, secretary of the treasury Andrew J. Mellon and two other men.
Means formerly was a department of justice investigator. Felder was his lawyer.

"I'm not going to be led by any committee's reports or recommendations as to the proposed sites. The regents should each exercise his or her own best judgment for the good of the people. The regents are responsible to the people of the state. I shall look over the sites myself. It would be well for the regents to do the same."

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14—Shot by a man whose name he refused to reveal, Frank Melville Stevens, 46, a former policeman and deputy sheriff, died today at the San Francisco hospital.
Returning home following a visit with friends early today Mrs. Stevens told the police that she found her husband dying on the bed. She notified the police. At the hospital Stevens told detectives that he "had been hit by a man down near the county line." He refused to revel the name of his assailant or any of the details connected with the shooting.
Bawla, the merchant, on his deathbed, bequeathed half of his estate to the girl, and the other half to her mother, who was a former dancing girl.
The girl's father surrendered to the police today and asked for protection. He will be held, the police said, on a charge of having been implicated in the attack on Bawla.
Authorities said the girl once accompanied the Maharajah to London.
NO ASSISTANCE YET FOR SUB
BOSTON, Jan. 14—"The wrecking steamer Resolute from New York is expected to reach the submarine S-19 any minute and it is only a question of time when we will have her off the sand bar," Commander Potet of the Charles-town navy yard said today.
"The submarine reported today that all on board were comfortable and in no immediate danger," the commander said. "The weather is a bit rough but the vessel is thus far weathering it satisfactorily."
CHATHAM, Mass., Jan. 14—The position of the United States submarine S-19 which grounded on a sand bar off Nauset Beach has become precarious according to naval officers who today viewed with alarm the rapidly falling barometer. At 2 a.m. the big submersible was resting easily in a comparatively smooth sea. The wind had scarcely 30 miles velocity but within four hours the glass fell precipitately and at 6 o'clock a 45 mile wind from the northwest had whipped up. The crew was still on board this morning.
REFUSES CLEMENCY
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14—Gov. Richardson has definitely refused to exercise executive clemency in behalf of John Sears, John Gerege and Jack Ferdinand, awaiting execution at San Quentin prison Friday, it was learned today.
Sen. Chas Lyon and others who interested themselves in behalf of the youths were told by the governor that he proposed to let the law take its course.
votes for the law enforcement advocates, the resolution adopted by C. of C. directors has done even more. No attempted political trick ever had a greater flareback. Most bitter in their denunciation of the resolution as dirty politics were C. of C. members themselves who were never given a chance to vote on it. As one prominent member who has "been on the fence" said today:
"I can see now, just as Mayor Metcalf said yesterday, it is the same little clique that is causing all the disturbance in the various organizations. It was a case of us U. S. A. club directors writing a letter to us C. of C. directors to draft a resolution favoring us U. S. A. club directors."
"It is no wonder Anaheim has to sit back and see industries go to other cities with C. of C. directors whose first and last that is factional politics.
"When did our C. of C. ever do anything worth while for Anaheim," declared one member who has subscribed as high as $250 annually to its "promotion fund."
At C. of C. offices, which are in the city hall, today propaganda was being prepared in an attempt to unseat the city councilmen elected last spring over the efforts of the old political clique by a majority of nearly two to one. This same council has voted $2000 to the "promotion efforts" of the C. of C., more than any other council in the history of the city.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no word had been received by Mayor Metcalf from his challenge to meet opponents of the present dry council, Gelssinger, Thomas Walker, H. A. Johnston, Harry D. Riley or other spokesmen of the U.S.A. club.
The challenge to those who have been attacking the administration with every form of misrepresentation to meet Mayor Metcalf on a public platform and discuss the issues of the campaign appealed to Anaheim voters today as fair play. The reaction has been most favorable to the dry councilmen.
While there has never been any doubt in the minds of those conversant with the situation as to the result of the election a definite swing against any change in the day council and its policy of law enforcement and efficiency, has been placed at last few days.
