Several streets here are under water and the city gas plant may be inundated. RAINING FOR WEEK ORANGEBURG, S. C., Jan. 19. Waters of the Santee river were lapping the cross ties of the Atlantic coast line trestle near Remi; early today, according to reports brought here by train crews. Heavy rains have been falling in this section for more than a week. Many streams are out of their banks. HOTEL GUEST MAROONED WEST POINT, Ga., Jan. 19.—All guests in the only hotel in this town were marooned today on the second floor when the railroad station occupying the same building was flooded by the Chattahoochee river. The main street of West Point is under five feet of water. CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU CLEAN HEART The Sunday morning sermon at the Undenominational Church of the Lord (Holiness), $11 North Olive-st, was preached by Miss Today’s Puzzles Fail to Arrive Nonarrival of the Plain Dealer’s cross word puzzles has made it impossible to use the usual Monday puzzle and Saturday answer today. They will be printed tomorrow, if they arrive in time, if not, just as soon as they come. In the meantime, solutions may be worked and held until the answer arrives. The delay is much regretted, as the cross word puzzle is a popular feature with Plain Dealer readers. OH, DOCTOR! WHY DON’T YOU TALK (Continued from Page One) aware, Dr. Johnston, that you are always somewhere in the background in the manipulations of the old political machine but you always stay under cover and let the other fellow do the dirty work in the open. “Here is on chance when you can demonstrate to the people of this community that you are not afraid to air your charges where all may see and hear them challenged as they certainly will be next Monday evening. The U. S. A. club, which announced after weeks of canvassing that it was justified in forcing a recall election upon the city, today had another house-to-house canvass under way. Acknowledging that they had greatly miscounted their strength and alarmed at the strong swing toward the support of the four dry councilmen since no good reason has been advanced for their recall, the U. S. A. club resorted to another last desperate effort to round up votes. THOUSANDS AT REVIVAL SUNDAY (Continued from Page One) spirit and a sword is used offensively as well as defensively. Take all the Bible or none. It’s every bit God’s word or none of it is; the Old Testament, too, or else Jesus told a lie. “Charlemagne said earthly kingdoms will rise and fall but the man of Galilee has raised up a kingdom which has not fallen and will not fall. His kingdom has gone, the Roman empire fell, the kaiser has gone. “I believe the Old Book is the inspired word of God because it has withstood the assaults of Huxley, Paine, Ingersoll and that tribe for 2000 years and it is the greatest selling book in the world. “We get all basis for morals from the Bible. If that is so, I don’t see why the Bible isn’t on the desk of every school teacher. It’s there in Kentucky and old Oklahoma and Indiana are coming along, too. In Kentucky every teacher not only must read from the Bible at the opening of each school day, but she must pray. “I believe the Bible is inspired because it is always scientific. We have only recently realized will the discovery of the radio that light waves are sound waves of greater rapidity. We have only lately perceived what Job means when he said ‘God maketh the morning stars to sing.’ They do sing, and when we can ‘try’ down the vibration of their light waves we will hear them. “We have only comparatively recently discovered that at least 19 diseases originate from pyrexia, which comes from the breaking of the enamel of the teeth. And yet Job said 2000 years ago ‘I am saved by the skin of my teeth.’ “It was only a few hundred years ago that men demonstrated that the earth is round and ye Job and Isaiah 4000 years ago de- CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU CLEAN HEART The Sunday morning sermon at the Undenominational Church of the Lord (Holiness), 511 North Olive st., was preached by Miss Leighan, assistant pastor, on the new covenant of grace. Miss Heughan took as her text Ezekiel 30:25-27: "Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all you idols will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments; and do them." The text brot out the complete redemption from sin provided for a soul in this life, "clean water" being a type of the Holy Ghost cleaning power; "filthiness," the carnal natures; "idols," the prides and lusts of the carnal heart. From all these, He says, will I cleanse you. The replacing of the stony heart with a heart of flesh represents the complete regeneration of the soul, and the next verse brings out the filling with the Spirit of God, or the baptism of the Holy Ghost, after that the soul has been justified and thoroughly cleansed from sin. Then, He says, ye shall walk in My statutes, keep My judgments; and do them. The laws of God are written on our hearts by the Spirit and its our second nature to keep them. The afternoon sermon was preached by Mrs. Elsie Richards from Phillipians 2:5: "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." CHANGES BRANCH AT ANNUAL MEET The fourth annual meeting of the Fullerton Y.M.C.A. was held Friday night. The name of the "Y" branch was changed from that of the "Fullerton district" to "Northern Orange co," including La Habra, Brea, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Fullerton, and directors at large elected as follows: L. E. Plummer and H. L. Dawson of Fullerton and E. C. Basten of Placentia. Local committees are to be appointed later, after which two more members are to be added to the directorate, and officers of the organization to be elected. The principal speaker Friday night was Leon V. Shaw. All guests in the only hotel in this town were marooned today on the second floor when the railroad station occupying the same building was flooded by the Chattahoochee river. The main street of West Point is under five feet of water. The U. S. A. club, which announced after weeks of canvassing that it was justified in forcing a recall election upon the city, today had another house-to-house canvass under way. Acknowledging that they had greatly miscounted their strength and alarmed at the strong swing toward the support of the four dry councilmen since no good reason has been advanced for their recall, the U. S. A. club resorted to another last desperate effort to round up votes. It has not yet been disclosed what excuse would be given by canvassers this time, whether solicitation were being made for a new city directory, subscriptions for the Ladies Home Journal or what. The last time canvassers used many subterfuges but the one they favored most was that they were shaking in their boots and a big saving to the taxpayers. Likewise, C. of C. directors also were shaking in its boots and were attempting to justify their high handed departure from the purposes for which the C. of C. was organized by delving into partisan politics. The directors were attempting to round up support for their action—after it was done. Such support was extremely reticent. Anaheim political rule or ruin diques, which have not only ceased to boost the city, but are spreading abroad reports that Anaheim is worse off than other towns of the Southland, would do well to take a few pages from the books of travelling salesmen visiting here. Recently a prominent Los Angeles theater is actually said to haveOWN a picture of a vacant business street, taken evidently on Sunday entitled "Anaheim on a busy day." Two of the salesmen referred to were in the city today, and both gave a very different impression. One, the representative of a very prominent drygoods house of Los Angeles, declared that Anaheim was, if anything, better off than most of the other towns of Orange and Los Angeles counties. The fact of the matter was, however, that the Southland was involved in a general condition, due to the marked decline in oil production and other causes. This man was seen today at Sebastian Bros.' store. The other man, a hardware salesman, told M. W. Martenet, that it was nonsense to make an exception of Anaheim and declare that other towns of the county were prosperous while depression reigned here. Martenet himself, quoting from reports of hardware dealers all over this section, members of the West Coast Hardware Dealers' Ass'n said that they all told the same story. Martenet pointed out that we have only comparatively recently discovered that at least 19 diseases originate from pyrrohea, which comes from the breaking of the enamel of the teeth. And yet Job said 2000 years ago 'I am saved by the skin of my teeth.'" "It was only a few hundred years ago that men demonstrated that the earth is round and yet Job and Isaiah 4000 years ago declared God made the world a sphere. Dr. Harvey, the noted physician, comparatively recently discovered the circulation of the blood stream, and yet old man Solomon said not to wait 'until the blood circuit is slow." Naham centuries upon centuries ago said 'horseless charlie will jostle each other in the city of Jerusalem and news will be flashed as by lightning." Today Jerusalem has its auto traffic problems and its radios. "I believe the Bible is divinely inspired because it is beyond human comprehension and hence beyond human invention. Man cannot invent what he cannot comprehend. When my wife graduated from Queen's college, England, Dr. Gladstone wound up his commencement day address with 'I am over 70 years old and have read the Bible for 25 years.' I want to say to you that there are depths in it I cannot understand." "I believe the Bible is divinely inspired because it deals severely with the sins of its greatest heroes. Human authors don't write that way. It was written either by good men, bad men or by God Good men didn't write or they would have glossed over the sins of its heroes. Bad men wouldn't have written it. Only God could be the author." "I believe the Bible is inspired because it is the greatest literature. I dare you to find any other literature worth while that does not draw from the Bible for its inspiration. For instance its tenor of Shakespeare is the majority of the moral law." That came from the Bible. "Herbert Spencer claimed the Bible did not solve the eternal questions of time, space, matter force and motion. That is all it is the first verse of the first chapter of the first book: 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.' It's all there time." FRIDAY NIGHT. The name of the "Y" branch was changed from that of the "Fullerton district" to "Northern Orange-co." including La Habra, Brea, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Fullerton, and directors at large elected as follows: L. E. Plummer and H. L. Dawson of Fullerton and E. C. Basten of Placentia. Local committees are to be appointed later, after which two more members are to be added to the directorate, and officers of the organization to be elected. The principal speaker Friday night was Leon V. Shaw, chairman of the Boys' Work committee of the Pasadena "Y." He said that the Boy Scouts training aids very materially in keeping youths from juvenile courts, and that few members of either organization ever became a criminal. SLAYER OF PARENT TO PRISON FOR YEAR NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Stephen S Mehringer, 28, who killed his father to defend his mother from attack, was sentenced today to a year in Sing Sing prison. The court was crowded, many spectators being women who have worked to obtain mercy for the youth since he was arrested two days after Thanksgiving day. The court explained to them that he had to impose the minimum sentence. DEOLINE TO HEAR SUIT BY STANDARD WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The standard Oil Co. of California was honored today by U. S. supreme court of review of a suit to recover from the government $31,443 for oil supplied vessels purchased from the shipping board by the Atlantic Gulf and Pac. Steamship Corp., and later taken back by the shipping board. The company had lost in lower courts. GUTS OWN THROAT THRU DESPONDENCY SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.—Dependent because of continued ill health, George Head, 25, committed suicide today by slashing his throat with a razor. Until recently Head was employed at the Stockton asylum. A Class Ad will bring you results. THE OTHER MAN, a hardware salesman, told M. W. Martenet, that it was nonsense to make an exception of Anaheim and declare that other towns of the county were prosperous, while depression reigned here. Martenet himself, quoting from reports of hardware dealers all over this section, members of the West Coast Hardware Dealers' Assn., said that they all told the same story. Martenet pointed out that while Long Beach and Whittier for example, had seen failures in the hardware business, Anaheim had not. Another drygoods salesman who was in Anaheim recently asserted that he sold more goods here than in any other city in the county, not excepting Santa Ana. Just before Christmas certain local merchants, when asked how the holiday trade compared this year with last, were so optimistic in favor of this year's business that the Plain Dealer itself was skeptical. They insisted, however, that business really had been better than before Christmas 1923. Even at that time the same story was circulated that business was dull. Yet an Anaheim grocer of years' standing, in spite of the marked increase in competition in the grocery business, declared that he had enjoyed the best business in his history. INSTRUMENT SHOWS LITTLE QUAKE LONDON, Jan. 19.—The West Browich seismograph today registered an earthquake estimated to be 5350 miles distant. This, according to the observer, would place it possibly in the sea off Kamchatka, a peninsula of Asia. RAY ANDRADE HURT Ray Andrade, son of Maurice F. Andrade, patrolman, was slightly injured last night while working for the Superior Oil Co. at Torrance. A piece of timber fell on his leg, cutting a big gash but breaking no bones. He was brot to the Anaheim sanitarium where he received surgical attention. I believe the Bible is inspired because it is the greatest literature I dare you to find any other literature worth while that does not draw from the Bible for its inspiration. For instance, the tenor of Shakespeare is the majesty of the moral law. That came from the Bible. "Herbert, Spencer claimed the Bible did not solve the eternal questions of time, space, matter force and motion. That is all in the first verse of the first chapter of the first book: 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.' It's all there, time space, matter force and motion I dare you to find a place where it isn't scientific. "It is the key that unlocks the universe and tells who am I where am I, where did I come where am I what am I doing and where did I come from. I can only come to the conclusion that one who made the universe and the one who wrote the book are one and the same." "Water never rises above its source. Neither can literature No other book can lift a man out of the gutter and make him respectable." "I believe the book. You are generally honest when you are face to face with death. It's the best book to live by. It's the only book to die by." Immediately following the seven mon., Carter sang "There is a Deaf and Precious Book." Bulgin invited all those Christians who would resolve to live a better life to stand. Hundreds arose. He invited those who had not professed to be Christians but who believed it was the right way to live and would resolve so to do arise. About 100 did so, among them several gray-headed men and women. Some Bulgin broadsides: "Some people like to see enthrallment in business, politics or whistle; but they dislike it in religion Where do we get the word 'thusiasm?' En-theus—God in your En-theus-lasm—God working out of you." "Prayer is the divine radio." "Poul must have been a Metodist. He could never preach sermon without telling his own experience." There is no neutral ground—a moral issue. You can't comprimise with green files and buszare." "You say you can't interfere."

COURT HOUSE DOINGS H. C. and Rose Parmley of Long Beach were plaintiffs in a suit to collect $39,000 on a note tendered them by H. F. and May B. Beiler, the action being on file today in the superior court at Santa Ana. The plaintiffs seek also an order to foreclose on acreage near Los Alamitos given in a mortgage securing the loan. Arrested on a charge of failing to support his four children, W. G. Patillo of Fullerton was released on his own recognition by Justice K. E. Morrison at Santa Ana today, when Patillo's preliminary hearing was set for March 21. Owen Robert Owen, residing on a ranch near Anaheim, today swore out a complaint for the arrest of Rex Stift, whom he accuses of stealing his airdale dog, valued, according to the complaint issued by the district attorney's office, at $100. Constable Jesse Elliott of Santa Ana today assumed the role of a traffic officer when he swore out a complaint for L. Phanelp of Los Angeles accusing him of driving his car 50 miles an hour on the Buena Park boulevard yesterday. Constable Elliott, who was in the district on another call, took out after Phanelp when the latter passed his car at terrific speed. The arrest followed. B. C. BAXTER DIES AT BEAUMONT B. C. Baxter, formerly of Placentia district and well known over the north of the county, died yesterday at his ranch home near Beaumont at 11 a.m. Funeral services will be held there tomorrow at 3 p.m. He is survived by his widow, a daughter and a foster daughter. Mr. Baxter was born in the Placentia vicinity, leaving only three PRIVATE LAWYER FOR “JAZZ BABY” SAN PRANCISCO, Jan. 19 — Public Defender Frank J. Egan, dropped the defense of Dorothy Ellingson, mother slayer, late today, when it was announced a defense fund was to be raised for the "jazz maniac." SAN PRANCISCO, Jan. 19.—Dorothy Ellingson, 16-year-old red headed "daughter of jazz," who murdered her mother, wept in the city prison today while lawyers wrangled over her defense. A "tiger girl" turned to a broken flower, Dorothy hung her head so that her red bob dropped over and hid her face and declined to become interested in her fate. "I killed my mother and am ready to pay the price," she sobbed. "Lawyers and everybody else leave me alone—that's all I ask." Outside the women's prison ward waited Alexander Moslin, San Francisco attorney, who asserted the girl's father had employed him, and Public Defender Frank J. Egan, both claiming they had appointments to see the mother slayer. Egan said the girl wanted him and no one else to defend her, and Moslin declared he would have charge of her defense. With the attorneys battling as to who would prepare the girl's defense, the outstanding developments of the day were: 1- Keith Lord, Los Angeles orchestra player, was to be arraigned on a charge of contributing to the girl's delinquency. 2- Detectives probed the "jazz maniac"'s age, the authorities asserting if it was found she was 18 years old, the death penalty would be demanded. 3- San Francisco police and clubwomen united in a campaign to bring street police supervision of "jazz palaces" and amusement places where Dorothy whetted her pleasure-loving appetite. B. C. BAXTER DIES AT BEAUMONT B. C. Baxter, formerly of Placentia district and well known over the north of the county, died yesterday at his ranch home near Beaumont at 11 a.m. Funeral services will be held there tomorrow at 3 p.m. He is survived by his widow, a daughter and a foster daughter. Mr. Baxter was born in the Placentia vicinity, leaving only three years ago as his health began to fail. He was a man of considerable holdings, owning a business block in his home town, where the Placentia Sweet Shop and other firms are located, ranch property here and in San Bernardino-co. Many of his old friends are planning to attend the services tomorrow. TROUBLES NEVER COME SINGLY Maintaining a gasoline service station at the outskirts of Tustin is proving a difficult proposition for A. L. White, he told sheriff's deputies today, in reporting another accident at his place of business. Several weeks ago the palatial limousine of Mrs. D. Mann of San Diego swerved from the road, knocked down two gasoline pumps at the station and both it and the expensive car were consumed in a spectacular fire. Yesterday the car of M. L. Fouch of Yucalapa swerved from the road, broke off White's gasoline pump and did damage to new concrete work White had placed preparatory to erecting his new building. POSTPONE MEETING Because of the outbreak of smallpox in Cypress, the C. of C. meeting which was to have taken place there tomorrow evening has been postponed, and the school closed for one week.

Why, bless you, as soon as Eve landed in the Garden of Eden Adair's personal liberty ceased and defense of the car terrific speed. The arrest followed. Kelth Lord, Los Angeles orchestra player, was to be arraigned on a charge of contributing to the girl's delinquency. Detectives probed the "Jazz maniac" age, the authorities asserting if it was found she was 18 years old, the death penalty would be demanded. San Francisco police and clubwomen united in a campaign to bring strict police supervision of "jazz palaces" and amusement places where Dorothy whetted her pleasure-loving appetite. Dorothy was again to be questioned in an effort to make her confess she killed her mother, while Mrs. Ellingson's back was turned, because she had threatened to place Dorothy in a correctional institution. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19. A broken blossom, Dorothy Ellingson, 16-year-old mother slayer, awoke today to await the last step down her jazz-mad trail. Witted by the restraint of four days in prison, the "butterfly girl," appeared to realize for the first time the enormity of her crime and listlessly listened, as though dazed, to plans for her defense. Gone was all the brayado and sangfroid which for衫 simulated police after they placed around her net of the law in California's first recorded case of matricide. Beneath her titian bob, Dorothy today lifted reddened eyelids, stained with night tears, as she battled in the courts. Public Defender Frank J. Egan arranged with the child-defendant, a series of conferences in which details of her fight to stave off a long prison sentence will be outlined. Practically pennilless and with only "charity" counsel, Dorothy will face the law, her father, viking featured tailor, announcing all financial aid and proffers of six San Francisco attorneys to defend his daughter having been refused. This placed the girl's fate, as far as her defense was concerned, entirely in the hands of Public Defender Egan. As she has requested, I will handle her case," declared Egan, "and there will be no array of allenists and scientists in court." The county has no money to employ these and if I am going to defend Dorothy there must be no defense fund. That is true because I am permitted to handle only the cases of persons without funds." Egan said he would make a fight to have the "jazz maniac" girl's preliminary hearing take place in juvenile court and not in police court. The girl is 16 years old," the public defender said. "There is no question about her age and we can prove she will not be 17 until April 1." Who is the most beautiful day?

Store in the shop department, has acquired an interest in the Anaheim agency on California Food and Health at 208 North Los Angeles-street. I am not an expert in these and know nothing about what doctors call "mental cases." Dorothy spent a "weepy" day. For the first time in my Sabbath Day was quiet from Chinatown's noodle park and down town "jazz joints." Invited to attend religious vice in the prison, Dorothy resumed tear-eyed len at the side of Policewoman Katherine Sullivan. From dance she heard the singing "Rock of Ages," and other hits and the sound of voices railing prayer. Bowed with grief, she and brother visited the girl on the day. Their greeting to "daughter of Jazz" was formal and there was not a handshake between the trio. Dorothy asked her fatha press and patch a small hair "extra street suit" and brother at the garden stall. McFARLAND RUNS SHOE DEPARTMENT H D.

Egan said he would make a fight to have the "jazz mania" girl's preliminary hearing take place in juvenile court and not in police court. "The girl is 16 years old," the public defender said. "There is no question about her age and we can prove she will not be 17 until April 1. "The law is perfectly plain in this case and there is no reason to make an exception here. The law states cases against persons under 16 years of age, shall be tried in juvenile court. The other courts have no jurisdiction." At the same time the district attorney was determined, he said, to bring the confessed mother killed into police court Thursday. If the girl is taken into police court and there her age determined as under 18 the case might be then referred to the superior court, meaning Dorothy would receive a long prison sentence if convicted. Should Defender Egan win his fight to keep the case in juvenile court the matricide defendant, if she is found guilty, would be sent to the girl's school at Ventura and kept until 23 years of age. Plans for the defense of "jazz baby Dot" were closely guarded. There will be plenty of time to discuss the girl's defense after her preliminary hearing. Egan said: "I refuse to reveal any plans for her defense until after Thursday." However, it was learned that the girl's family history was being closely investigated. Her father denied there had been any evidence of insanity or mental disorders in his family or in that of Mrs. Ellingson, but Earl, brother of the girl, with her father became reconcilled with Dorothy after her breakdown at the coroners inquest Saturday, declared "mental illness" might be Dorothy's defense. "I have been told that Dorothy may be suffering from mental illness," he said. "If that is the case I believe it can account for her shooting her mother. I think it is only fair and square that it should be determined whether Dorothy is normal. She has always appeared normal to me but physicians may believe otherwise. Bowed with grief, the brother visited the girl during the day. Their greeting was formal and there was not an handshake between the trio. Dorothy asked her father press and patch a small hole in her extra street suit and brother, at the girl's request to bring her a coffee nennyson's poems to the prizes. Earl and I will do what can," said Ellingson, but "we sist Dorothy tell the truth. Believe she has done so up time and during her trial we will whole truth without hempting to hide anything."

The Evening News today said that the alleged plot contemplated the blowing up of several English warships. The two men detained are petty officers, it said. The News declared that Irish extremists were responsible for the alleged plot and that their hope was to provoke trouble between England and the Irish Free State. The woman under arrest was mentioned in several letters, according to the police. An official statement issued by Scotland Yard said that six arrests had been made under the official secrecy. The statement said those under arrest were connected with the Irish Republican organization. The names of two of the suspects became known when J. J. O'Leary and J. D. McGough were arraigned charged with violating the official secrets act. They were remanded or a week. Two of the men in custody are said to have naval ranking. The other three are reported to be Irish. The arrests resulted from reports that government naval secrets were leaking out of Portsmouth. Police for some time have been; it was hailed, intercepting letters passing between reputed Irish Republicans and residents of London and Portsmouth. Twenty-four police officers took part in the raids which netted the six persons. The raids covered a large area of London as well as Portsmouth.
