One section of seats was not in last night. Another section did not have backs on them. Nevertheless, they were used. Another section was being put in today, backs, put on all of them and adequate heating facilities installed. The crowds continue to grow, and it was a question last night whether even the new tent will be able to take care of them. The present tent is 140 x 100 feet in size, and incapable of seating 2000 people. The choir made its usual big hit last night, and Carter sang two or three solos. The choir loft was packed to capacity. Rev. S. T. Hilgenfeldt, pastor of the Congregational Church at Buena Park led in prayer, after which Carter announced that Bulgin had received a number of anonymous letters, and that all such would be thrown into the waste Bunker. He said, "Sign your name to what you write or it won't receive attention." Those who are smocking against this meeting are knocking, against something that is going to do a lot of good in this town." The audience sang "Revive Us Again", and "Happy Day Since Jesus Took My Sins Away." Rev. V. K. Ledbetter of the local Calvary Baptist church led in prayer, after which he announced out-of-town services and prayer services for today. He praised the chicken dinner at First Christian church yesterday, but not knowing whether it was rooster or hen didn't know whether to crow or cluck. He urged more time in prayer and said, "If you want a revival you must pray for it, else you won't get it." A children's meeting was announced for this afternoon after school. Bulgin plans to preach tonight on "The Unpardonable Sin." Carter sang "Wandrous News," accompanied by Gourley on the piano. Bulgin's reading lesson was from portions of the fourth chapter of John on the healing of the nobleman's son; and Mark 16th on the opening of the eyes of blind Barti macus. The latter was also his text for the evening sermon. He said a historical faith will lead to an investigative faith, a speculative faith, a faith in the Word of God, and lastly, to a saving faith. Use what knowledge you have. Get Well, it's all over but the shouting and it was well worth it, meaning that the "fat lady's class" with its regime of dieting and exercising under instruction to Dr. Frank McCoy for the past two weeks, heard the final lecture of the series yesterday and prizes were awarded. Mrs. E. Curry has been the most faithful follower of the method and lost 17 pounds. Pretty good, she remarks, in two weeks. She happily testified of her improved health, agility and entire loss of appetite for the edibles which go to pile up the pounds of fat. Mrs. Curry intends to continue her line of treatment until she reaches the weight appropriate to one of her height. Robert Sparks, who looked with envy upon the active, slim fellows of the present fashion and entered the class with determination to be one of them, lost 16 pounds, six inches of girth and a lot of puffed muscles in his hands and arms caused by rheumatism. He won the second prize and an improvement in physical feelings. Dr. McCoy laughingly suggested a several-inch tuck in waistbands and collar. Miss Reva Potte, young girl who has carried increasing weight through recent years, and E. Hudson tied for third place, with losing 15 pounds and both will receive third prizes. Every member of the class agreed to much improvement in feeling and are strong for the method.

He said: "Where a w building has been put up, an business handled by such men are on the local committee, I never assisted a church that not able to cover the entire in subscriptions at dedicati two thirds was already pro for.

The latter was also his text for the evening sermon. He said a historical faith will lead to an investigative faith, a speculative faith, a faith in the Word of God, and lastly, to a saving faith. Use what knowledge you have. Get into the way that the Son of God travels, and you'll be sure to bump into Him. Don't go into the church unless you are a Christian, but you can't remain a Christian so badly that I said I'd never do and stay out of the church. He urged the unseaved to attend church, prayer, meeting and Sun-God is how is God ever going to get a chance at you. He said that he had been reading in a certain newspaper about the company he keeps, and read a letter from a local woman who told him that he was a moral coward unless he answered the vitriolic attacks that had been made upon him thrue the press. "Here is my answer," he said. "I kicked at nothing once, and it strained me so badly that I'd never do it again." He told the story of a lamb which a little boy had nourished and brot up and petted, but which his brothers had placed in a pen with a lot of dried-up, seababy sheep. The little boy climbed on the pen fence and told the little lamb goodbye, that he loved it and had cared for it, but that he didn't have any use for that scabby bunch it was with. There are a few honest souls, he said, who had gotten onto the wrong side, but that he didn't have any use for the bootleggers, the ex-saloon keepers, the harbors and that scabby bunch they are with, and that he prefers to continue in the company he is in. "I prefer, and am going," he said. "with the church. (Continued on Page Two) 200,000 FRUIT TREES—All leading varieties. Guaranteed true of Ornamentals. Orange County Nursery Co., and N.

Both Police Judge Lazarus and Juvenile Judge Muransky declared today they had refused to enter requests for ball for the mother-slayer and Alexander Mooslin, attorney for Dorothy, was informed efforts in that direction would be fruitless. Today's developments in the mother slayer were: District Atty Matthew Brady took steps to stop removal of Dorothy to a detention hospital for examination as to her sanity. Extra guards were placed around the Hall of Justice and in the city prison where the girl is held (following receipt of letters threatening to lynch the young matricide). All packages sent to the "Jazz maniac" were carefully examined to see if they contained poison or death dealing infernal machines. Dorothy announced she would refuse to appear against any of the "shieks" held on charges of contributing to her delinquency except Emil Kreuter, jazz orchestra drummer. She said she would testify against Kreuter. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23—Fearing a plot to dynamite the Hall of Justice, where Dorotty Ellingson the "jazz baby" mother slayer is confined, police today throw heavy guards around the girl and the building. Letters and notes threatening to lynch the 16-year-old child, who sent a bullet into the back of her mother's head and then ran off to dance and drink gin, were received today by both the girl and police. The threats are anonymous but so was the bomb which recently led in the vestibule of the Hall of Justice when scores of officers narrowly escaped death. Declared Captain of Detectives Duncan Matheson. Asserting that the girl mother murder was the direct result of petting parties, a protest was filed with the board of park commissioners by the Oceanide Community Council asking them to prohibit the parking of automobiles along Beach highways and in near parks. "Petting parties along the beach are the source of much deprivation," members of the council declared, pointing out that Dorotty had confessed much of the immorality practiced by herself and her associates was along the ocean beach. Guards were increased in the women's ward in the city prison where the "jazz maniac" is a prisoner and policemen were also stationed intervals around this location.

Dr. McGarrah said: that is for the congregation to do something and to do it now. Our church would have probably since the present membership in this church and Sunday school if had constructed a more concrete plant ten years ago. Hundreds of children are now in no Sunday school. You could win any of these and prepare them live of Christian service. Some may say: "Let us wait a while longer," but the children will be up soon, and the opportunity to reach them will be past. They cannot stop growing." Dr. McGarrah suggested that it means, and adapt the building so that needed, another story should be added to the Sunday school building and the auditorium should be enlarged without undue expense. Meantime the membership might be doubled. It was stated that about $430,000 in subscriptions, and cash was available, and it was voted to begin Sunday afternoon a canvass all members and friends of the church for new and increased subscriptions to bring the total to $80,000, with the hope of an over-subscription. Dr. McGarrah urges that the contracts to let us soon as possible contracts be let as soon as possible, since building costs are low and will soon rise again. The south Pasadena church, which is now building finds it is saving fifty per cent over the bids received 18 months ago. It is about the size of the Anaheim Presbyterian church, and Dr. McGarrah assisted in securing about $88,000 in (Continued on Page Two) Plan to help build new Presbyterian Church and Bible School building. Rally Round, Boys! Fight to Finish! SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 23—Business was practically suspended in this city today while the fight to determine whether the annual bathing beauty pageant should be held in 1925 continued. Twenty-five subscribers to the C. of C fund to back the beauty contest held a meeting during the day and passed resolutions condemning the chamber for recently deciding to abandon the pageant. It was decided to circulate petitions asking the chamber to continue its support of the bathing girl pageant. An emergency fund was raised immediately to pay for telegrams to the press throutout the country to let the world know that all of Santa Cruz was not opposed to doing away with the summer gathering of pulchritude. Following his successful efforts yesterday in obtaining a postponement of her hearing in juvenile court for a week, Alexander Mooslin, chief of the defense attorneys, was to confer with Dorothy to map out plans for the fight to save the girl from a long prison term. Delay in bringing the case to a head in the courts brought sharp attacks from the district attorney's office.

WEBB SCHEDULE ANOTHER EXERCISE SATURDAY DAILY REDUCING REGIME BY DR. FRANK McCOY STRUCTIONS FOR JANUARY 24, 1923 (Saturday) ON Saturday morning you are to add another exercise to close you have been taking. LYING ON BACK Arms over head—raise both arms and both legs together, at the same time keeping knees stiff and touching the legs as far down towards the feet as possible. This is a very hard exercise and you must only do it 3 or 4 times at first until your muscles are stronger. BREAKFAST: One poached egg in milk on shredded wheat which has been re-toasted. Baked apple, no sugar. LUNCH: Glass of grape juice with glass of water. DINNER: Roast mutton. Cooked salisfy (oyster plant), watercress and lettuce. Do not forget to take your usual long walks and do your exercises before retiring, always followed by a sponge or shower bath. RECIPES FOR FOODS NOT ALREADY ADVISED SALISFY: This vegetable should be used as young as possible before the starch has had time to develop, as in this way it may be used more freely and has a more agreeable flavor. Do not scrap the oyster plant, but wash it with a vegetable brush and cook in plain water. If cut up thin and seasoned with cream and butter the flavor will slightly resemble that of an oyster stew, although the food value is undoubtedly different, as the oyster is a protel food and often poisonous, while the vegetable oyster is non-starchy and always wholesome. WATERCRESS: This is a spicy leafy salad vegetable which should only be used in combination with other vegetables and should never compose the entire salad as is so commonly done. No seasoning of any kind should be added as the watercress is already highly seasoned. GEISSINGER OVERSTEPS ALL BOUNDS Comrades Up In Arms at Cowardly Criticism in Unsigned Article World war veterans today were up in arms over what they termed a cowardly attack upon City Atty. Wm. P. Webb, Jr., first commander of Anaheim post, American Legion. The attack, written by J. A. Geissinger and printed in last night's issue of the U. S. A. club organ, read as follows: FRANCE STIRRED BY BORAH SPEECH PARIS. Jan. 23—The speech of U. S. Sen. Borah did not prompt the chamber of deputies to reject a resolution which called for the posting "on every public building" of the address of Deputy Marin, according to Pres. Warren of the chamber. The action of the chamber had absolutely no connection with Sen. Borah's remarks, declared Warren. "The question of the French debt to America would make real progress," continued Warren. "Of America would employ all of her energy to make German pay, because if the American taxpayers are poorer than the French taxpayers, then nevertheless, the French are poorer and heavier taxed than the Germans." WASHINGTON. Jan. 23—Senator William E. Borah spoke for the administration when he sharply called France for her war debt attitude and served notice that the American government will not entertain any proposition aimed at cancellation or scaling down of the $4,000,000,000 France borrowed from the U.S. treasury on demand notes during the war. It only remained for the speech of M. Marin, in the French chamber Wednesday to bring the long smouldering resentment to congress to the flaming stage. M. Marin described the United States as a Shylock and pleaded France's greater sacrifices in life as one reason why she should not be called upon to pay. Instead of being a Shylock, Borah replied, the United States has been the most generous creditor in the world's history. As for France's sacrifices, Borah cited what France had gained by was of compensation—more than 400,000 square miles of territory, her lost provinces, the richest iron basin in Europe, besides enormous cash reparations from Germany. The United States he pointed out, got nothing. AGED MOTHER PASSES TODAY Mrs. Helen M. Hawley, 78, mother of H A. Hawley, died at the home of her son 122 W. Syme more early today after an illness. Funeral announcement will be made later and in the meantime the body is in care of Backs, Terry and Campbell. Mrs. Hawley was born in Boston Feb. 2, 1850. She came to California 14 years ago and resided in Los Angeles until last Oct. 16, when through ill health she and her husband, Charles F. Hawley, came to Anaheim. She is survived by the husband, one son H A. Hawley of Southern Counties Bank, a sister Mrs. Amanda Huston, in Lowell, Mass., and two granddaughters, the Misses Doris and Hazel Hawley. She was number of Immunet Presbyterian church in Los Angeles. BILL WOULD LIMIT CAMPAIGN COSTS WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.—A new corrupt practice set to govern the elections of senators and representatives was offered the Senate today by Sen. Walsh, Democrat of Mass., as a ruler to the Moses omnibus postal bill. The proposed new election law would limit expenditures of senator candidates to from $10,000 to $25,000 and of candidates for the house from $2500 to $5000, recording to the population of their states or districts. It would also compel full publicity of contributions and expenditures and aims to eliminate corruption in federal elections. The measure was passed by congress last spring as a rider of the postal salary bill, which met its death by Pres. Coolidge's veto. Walsh re-introduced it as an amendment to the new postal bill as their president since declared his approval of the proposed legislation. THREE JAPANESE CRUIERS IN S.E. World war veterans today were up in arms over what they termed a cowardly attack upon City Atty, Wm. P. Webb, Jr., first commander of Anaheim post, American Legion. The attack, written by J. A. Geissinger and printed in last night's issue of the U. S. A. club organ, read as follows: "The city's klan attorney was expelled from one luncheon club, rebuked by a second, organized his own and has since been operated on for appendicitis and is said to be rapidly improving! His trouble may have been apperititis, but we think klanitis had something to do with it!!" The entire community has been shocked at the extremes to which Geissinger has gone in his daily unassigned diatribes on the front page of the U.S.A. club organ Old-time politicians declare them the most villainous ever seen in an Orange-co political campaign. However, victims of Geissinger's bile and misrepresentation have been constrained to ignore these attacks rather than engage in a newspaper controversy. War veterans declared today that Geissinger had overtaken all bounds of decency in attacking Webb, who narrowly escaped death following an operation more than a month ago. He is still flat on his back, not having been able to sit up since the operation. A visitor who was permitted by one of the nurses constantly on duty to see Webb for a moment today reported that Webb, in voice scarcely more than a whisper, said: "My friends will understand the animus back of this." Webb was one of the few members of the Kiwiana club Geissenger was unable to whip into lins in his resolution criticizing President Coolidge's proclamation for a National Defense Test Day last fall. Since then Geissinger has lost no opportunity to harpoon Webb at every opportunity. Geissinger's article yesterday, his most desperate to date, was reported to be one of three he had desired published yesterday even the U.S.A. club organ declaring the other two unprintable. Dr. J. W. Utter, who has been attending Webb, declared today: "I regard the attack on Mr.Webb as especially cowardly under the circumstances. Mr.Webb was operated upon Dec. 22 for appendicitis complicated by perjutitis, a condition of long standing, is still confined to his bed and probably will be for weeks to come." At the Webb home it was deeply regretted that the paper containing the attack had not been interrupted before Webb saw it. France's greater sacrifices in the one reason why she should not be called upon to pay. Instead of being a Shylock, Borah replied, the United States has been the most generous creditor in the world's history. As for France's sacrifices, Borah cited what France had gained by was of compensation—more than 400,000 square miles of territory, her lost provinces, the richest iron basin in Europe, besides enormous cash reparations from Germany. The United States he pointed out, got nothing. HOLDUP OBTAINS $100,000 IN CASH AMITE CITY, La., Jan. 23.—A bandit who held up C. H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central Railway, and his secretary at La., stole $100,000 in cash, Markham's watch and his overcoat, today was being sought by a sheriff's posse in the woods near here. Three companions are believed to have joined the bandit after he had ridden in Markham's private car from Independence to Amite City.

THREE JAPANESE CRUISERS IN S. F. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.—Three Japanese cruisers, the finest in the Nipponese navy were scheduled to arrive here today for a week's visit to affirm Japan's friendship for America and to afford this country an opportunity to express through San Francisco American friendship for Japan.
