THREE GREAT SERVICES SUNDAY Held for Riding Horse While Drunk MODESTO, Cal., Jan. 31. While A. H. Happ was in the county jail here today on a charge of riding a horse while intoxicated, Dist. Atty. W. J. Brown searched frantically to determine just how Happ may be prosecuted. Brown finally discovered a section of the state motor vehicle act prohibiting conduct halked up against Happ. The case is said to be the first of its kind on record in California. MAN KILLED AT SUGA FACTORY Two Others Narre Avoid Injury SERVICES SUNDAY Evangelist Will Preach Tonight on Subject 'Neighborhood Scraps' Three great services will be held at the Bulgin tabernacle Sunday. Dr. Bulgin will preach at 11 a.m., at 2:30 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. The afternoon sermon will be to men only. The subject will be "Four Bs—Bulgin on Blackstone Boot-leggers and Booze." There will be no meeting for women only tomorrow afternoon, but a week from tomorrow there will be one arranged. Tonight Dr. Bulgin will speak on "Neighborhood Scraps," or Dr. Jekil and Mr. Hyde," the them being a discussion of dual natures. Several professed conversion and more than 40 raised their hands for prayers of Christians last night following a very logical and argumentative sermon on "Am I My Brother's Keeper?" by Dr. Bulgin. There was another large crowd at the tabernacle. The concert by the boys' band of Braa had to be called off last night. Eighteen of the 30 young musicians were ill with grip. They will appear next week if recovered. Selecting his sermon subjects from Genesis and Ezekiel, the preacher stated, "God wants everyone to be a Christian, because it is right that we should be." "Of course we are none of us perfect, but we should strive for that perfection in the Christian life that the Savior exemplified and then do the work that God intended for us to do." "When we do that we will be doing His work and will then be exerting our influence to bring others into the fold of Christ, there to experience the joys that come to all of God's people on this earth. I don't want you to be a Christian because you are going to die but because you are going to live." "We are our brother's keeper, for it is our duty as Christians to show by our example and mode of living that we feel all of our Christian responsibilities to our fellow man." "Where Is My Brother?" "When a man gets right with God, the first question he asks is, 'Where is My Brother?'" said CHICAGO, Jan. 31—Five persons were killed, one woman is missing and several others injured, badly, in a fire which destroyed the three-story apartment house at 5028-32 Blackstone ave. early today. Guests in the exclusive Delprado hotel next door were roused from their slumbers by the night telephone operator and fled to safety scantily attired. The hotel was not damaged. Several University of Chicago fraternity houses were near the burned structure. Students aid firemen and police in rescuing imperiled occupants of the apartment, who became panic stricken as the flames spread thru the structure. The fire started at about 3 o'clock on a lower floor. It spread rapidly. Within twenty minutes the roof collapsed. The dead: Anthony Hardie, 24; Olive Hardie, his wife, 22; Doris Hardie, their 19 months old daughter; Loretta Prior, 16. Hardie died trying to save his baby. Flying embers from the fire, driven by a high wind, set fire to a structure three blocks away and drove the occupants to the street. Only the fact that the wind was in the south saved the Delprado, the hotel home of scores of society folk, prominent officials, business and professional men. The burned structure was a county jail here today on a charge of riding a horse while intoxicated, Dist. Atty. W. J. Brown searched frantically to determine just how Happ may be prosecuted. Brown finally discovered a section of the state motor vehicle prohibiting conduct behind up against Happ. The case is said to be the first of its kind on record in California. AT SUGAR FACTORY Two Others Narrow Avoid Injury From Electric Wire E. J. Webber, 32, was cutted, W. R. Clark narrowed caped electrocution and O Warne, Webber's brother-less badly burned last night, Webber, who was helping the mantle machinery of the heim Sugar Co., was caught tolls of a high voltage line.

"We are our brother's keeper, for it is our duty as Christians to show by our example and mode of living that we feel all of our Christian responsibilities to our fellow man." "Where Is My Brother?" "When a man gets right with God, the first question he asks is, 'Where is My Brother?'.' said the preacher at the beginning of his sermon. "The object of salvation is not to keep out of hell but to save others and God gave man the power of the human will to say yes and no to all questions. It is no accident that the question of God asked Cain is in the first book of the Bible. Abel, has brot the acceptable offering, just as he had been told to do and his act was symbolic of the way to get back to God. Cain had not and went according to his own way and brot an unacceptable offering. "One of the duties that we as Christians have toward our brothers is face the problem of the two million and a half returned soldiers. They form most of the army of unemployed and only about 4 per cent of them attended church services last year. The church her best for those boys who were over there but at her grip on them. We pray and pray hard for them. Too Much Amusement. "Worldly amusements are claiming too much of the attention of our people," continued the preacher. "Dancing and playing cards will not send people to hell, only rejection of God can do that, but we've been so all-fired liberal and broad that we've let paganism fasten its pangs on our country. "Now you can't legislate good and evangelism lambast things too much instead of preaching about the best things. Well indoctrined people do not leave the church; it's the cliff that the wind blows away." Get at the old (Continued on Page Two) 200,000 FRUIT TREES—All leading varieties.

E. Whitted, reputed wealthy and prominent dentist of Santa Ana, whose parole from San Quentin after serving six months of a sentence given when he was found guilty of an offense charged by an 18-year-old Santa Ana girl was the subject of considerable attention three weeks ago, today was facing a $101,000 suit for damages preferred in the superior court at Santa Ana by the girl. The action, brot by Attorney Augustus Tilden of Los Angeles on behalf of Miss Opal Owens, alleges the girl was forced to subject to averred "lewd and lascivious acts" on the part of the dentist last Feb. 2. Following the alleged outrage on the girl, she suffered great anguish and humiliation, her suit maintains, adding that a breakdown finally resulted in her leaving school to be under a physician's care. For this asserted medical attention the sum of $1,000 is asked. The balance demanded against the dentist is accredited to "damages." After spectacular hearings in the Santa Ana courts, the dentist was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term "not exceeding" 14 years. The prison board set sentence at nine months, expressing doubt of the dentist's guilt, and Secretary George A. Raymer of the C. of C. was given semi-ovations repeatedly and lauded by several of the speakers for his energy and thoroness in pushing NIGHT BIG SUCCESS Fullerton C. of C. Makes Enthusiastic Effort to Land School In the most enthusiastic effort yet made to put over its drive to have the Southern Branch, U. of C. located on the 1,000-acre site of the Bastanchury Ranch, Fullertonians to the number of 400 or more gathered last night as dinner in the Masonic Temple and heard speeches from eight or nine assemblymen, Senators, members of the site committee and others regarding the general project. The meeting was under the auspices of the Fullerton C. of C. President J. Charles Thamer presiding, with C. C. Chapman the toastmaster. All parts of the county were represented in the crowd. The speakers gave Fullerton plenty of encouragement in their fight; Assemblyman Thomas L. Dodge of Los Angeles, for instance, told his hearers that the Fullerton site was one of four remaining after 16 had been eliminated from consideration. "I think you have made the outstanding offer of record with the Regenta," said President H. H. Merrick of the Greater Los Angeles Assn." Senator Charles H. V. Lewis of Los Angeles said it looked as tho result Fullerton sought might happen. Assemblyman Walter J. Little of Hermosa Beach said he wasn't taking any chances of a recall by backing Fullerton against Palos Verdes, but would say that no site had been urged more eloquently or persistently than Fulterton's. That appeared to be the sentiment of most of the legislators present. Senator Cadet Taylor of Pomona said among other things that the agricultural needs of the Branch should weigh in the selection of its new location. He deplored the present arrangement whereby students in the College of Agriculture of the U. of C. have to go to Berkeley for technical training and to Davis for the practical work. Secretary George A. Raymer of the C. of C. was given semi-ovations repeatedly and lauded by several of the speakers for his energy and thoroness in pushing At Ingleside-co jail the coralied mother-slayer wore a dress striped gingham in a bleak, late-washed jail cell. Robotry was brought to the jail yesterday after waiting in a detention room to be called as a witness at the trial of four of her life companions, charged with contributing to her delinquency. Three of the youths, members of a jazz orchestra, Keith Emil Kreuter and Harry Emil Knutts, pleaded guilty and asked probation. This placed them in the hands of the probationer, who will make recommendations in two weeks. The case of the fourth defendant, David Stein, was delayed one week. With the youths pleading guilty, the boy had signed comments against them was not called as a witness. The 18-year-old mother slayer in a shabby suitcase containing copies of Oscar Wilde's poems the "death" dress—the dress worn when she shot her mother on behind—was hurried from court to jail. Her only empathy was shown when she stooper patted "Jim," huge city prison and affectionately said good-bye. USY MONTH AHEAD February will be a busy month for the Farm Bureau according to announcement made today by officials of the organization. Nenty-eight meetings are scheduled for the month and in addition to that it is expected that dental meetings will be arranged during the month. At ten of the meetings arrangements will be made for a program work for the various centers. February being the legislative session, many of the matters pending in the legislature will be discussed. At least one of the meetings scheduled will be given over really to this important discussion. $25,000 FIRE LOSS RESNO, Jan. 31.—Fire of unown origin gutted a two-story building occupied by the officers of the Union hospital here early day.

RUNS AT BOSTON BOSTON, Jan. 31.—Paavo Nurmi, the Finnish runner, was en route to Boston from New York today, ready to take part in the two mile event at the indoor track meet of the Boston Athletic Ass'n tonight. Nurmi was nursing a slight cold but it is not serious enough to keep him out of the games tonight. Nurmi was against Gunnar Nelson, who defeated him with a 100 yard handicap in a 2,000 meter race at the Brooklyn college meet a week ago. Himer Prim and August Faxer, members of the Finnish-American Athletic club of New York, and Jole Ray of Chicago, will run. REPORTS CAR THEFT Theft of a Dodge sedan from front of the Y. M. C.

The car had been used by Harold Mann and may be identified as follows: Wire wheels, license number 1018510, new engine number $22,692. The theft took place between S and 11 p.m. Senator Cadet Taylor of Pomona said among other thinners that the agricultural needs of the Branch should weigh in the selection of its new location. He deplored the present arrangement whereby students in the College of Agriculture of the U. of C. have to go to Berkeley for technical training and to Davis for the practical work. Secretary George A. Raymer of the C. of C. was given semi-ovations repeatedly and lauded by several of the speakers for his energy and thoroness in pushing the project. Secretary Raymer invited the speakers to stay overnight with the idea of seeing the site today at its best. Senator Chester M. Kline of San Jacinto confined himself to a few brief remarks, in the course of which he declared he would be glad to hear from any of his constituents regarding matters requiring attention. Kline quoted a fellow legislator as saying that the best after dinner speech he had ever heard was "Glye me the check." Other speakers included H. H. Merrick, president of the Greater Los Angeles Ass'n; Assemblyman F. C. Hartrault of Fullerton, Senator A. Burlingame Johnson of Pasadena Senator Harry A. Chamberlain of Los Angeles. Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts of Los Angeles, Chairman T. B. Talbert of the Board of Supervisors, President W. A. Johnstone of the Los Angeles County Farm Bureau, and President C. E.

EXCLUDE TROTZKY LONDON, Jan. 31.—The Central communist committee has decided to exclude Trotzky from the communist party, a dispatch today from Heisingforn, Finland, to the Central News said.

MAN'S LIQUOR SEIZED A five-gallon keg of wine was captured by Anaheim police last night on the Santa Fe right-of-way near the Anaheim Foundry on East Santa Ana-st. Five barrels more containing about 192 gallons were discovered in a raid made by Deputy Sheriff Ed McClelland, and Ample police protection will be provided at the polls Tuesday. Mayor E. H. Metcalf announced today. "I have made arrangements to deputize 24 extra police Tuesday." NOMINEE THINKS Another “Frameup” By Men Who Employed Ex-Convicts L. E. Miller, councilmanic candidate of the U. S. A. Club, declared unqualifiedly this morning that in his opinion a purported threat letter addressed to J. A. Geissinger was a palpable fake. This opinion was expressed freely by Miller shortly before the noon hour in the office of W. B. Allen, realtor, at 137½ So, Los Angeles. The statement was made to Mr. Allen in the hearing of two other men. Miller was in Allen's office for an hour. In that time he made a number of interesting admissions. One of them was that he did not believe the charge that the Ku Klux Klan dictated to the council. Another was that he and other U. S. A. Club candidates did not approve the campaign tactics that had been employed by J. A. Geissinger, other U. S. A. Club leader and the U. S. A. Club organ. They had protested against them out to no avail, Miller said. "Mr. Miller dropped into my office this morning," said Mr. Allen, "and our conversation shortly drifted into politics. I asked Mr. Miller point-blank if he thot a Klausman had addressed that letter to Geissinger and if he didn't think it was a fake. Mr. Miller stated he believed it was a fake. "I asked Mr. Miller if he really believed that the Klan dictated to Mayor Metcalf. He replied that he believed Metcalf was a man who would not be dictated to by anybody. "I asked him if he approved the campaign tactics of the U. S. A. Club and the Bulletin and he said that he and the other candidates had protested against them but they had been overruled. "Two other men in my office heard Mr. Miller make these admissions." A five-gallon keg of wine was captured by Anaheim police last night on the Santa Fe right-off-way near the Anaheim Foundry on East Santa Ana-st. Five barrels more containing about 192 gallons were discovered in a raid made by Deputy Sheriff Ed McClelland, and other officers, at the home of H.D. Heineman on West Ball-rd. One gallon was taken from the latter place for laboratory analysis. It was expected a complaint would be filed later with Judge Kuchel for Heineman's arrest, if the wine proved to have an unlawful quantity of alcohol. No analysis had been made this afternoon, officer said. The cache on East Santa Ana-st is said to have been among some cement blocks by the railroad tracks. Heineman is one of the three trustees of the Concordia club. He is an ardent supporter of the U.S.A. club. Bert Barr, special liquor law enforcement officer, says that several enches of liquor of the same brand have been found in different places about town within the last few days, and he regards it as a unified effort on the part of organized liquor vendors to get their products in here on election day, as it has always been in the past. That is the only reason he can find why so many caches would be rushed in here just at this time, and he says that he has reason to suspect the U.S.A. club of being at the bottom of it. Dempsey Too Late To Get License LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31—Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, early this afternoon appeared at the marriage license bureau here and tried to secure a license to wed Estelle Taylor, film actress. However, the place was closed for the day and Dempsey hurried away, presumably for Santa Ana, where it was said he expected to secure a license. Dempsey was alone when he went to the courthouse here. TUESDAY Ample police protection will be provided at the polls Tuesday. Mayor E. H. Metcalf announced today. "I have made arrangements to deputize 24 extra police Tuesday, if necessary," said the mayor today. "Most of them will be ex-service men." "No one need fear any disturbance. Anaheimers may be taking their politics rather seriously just now, but there will be no violence. We will nip any move in that direction in the bud." "Everyone of whatever creed, color or color man or woman, may feel perfectly safe in voting. We will mark a 'dead-line' 100 feet from the polls as the election law provides and none will be permitted across that line except when voting or those legally entitled." ORANGE MAN IN NARROW ESCAPE How Rex Cook of Orange escaped certain death in his car by leaping just as it crashed to the foot of a 200-foot embankment near Modjeska's home shortly before noon yesterday, was the subject of conversation in Orange today. The instant the rapidly-moving vehicle left the road after negotiating a corner and started rolling down the long decline Cook leaped from beneath the steering wheel five feet from the top. He suffered cuts and bruises. The car was completely demolished when it stopped with a thug at the foot of the cliff. Passing motorists took Cook to his home for treatment. FULLERTON SHIPS 16 CARS IN WEEK Fifteen cars of oranges and one car of lemons were reported shipped from Fullerton this week. This is a big falling off on orange shipments from last week; one road not making any shipments, and another one only four cars. Shipments last week were about 75 percent above those this week. I asked him if he approved the campaign tactics of the U.S.A. Club and the Bulletin and he said that he and the other candidates had protested against them but they had been overruled. "Two other men in my office heard Mr. Miller make these admissions." The most palpable fake anyone ever attempted to put over was the general decision today of the public after reading a purported letter threatening J. A. Gelssinger who has direced the most abusive and conscienceless campaign for the U.S.A. club that Orange-co has ever seen. The wonder was that the U.S.A. club sprung it after the beans were spilled by J.R.Jobe, ex-convicted in an effort to blacken the reputations of law enforcement candidates and leaders. Jobe told Roy Langworthy, chief deputy state probation officer for So.Cal., and Anaheim police last Sunday night that the U.S.A. club leaders were desperate and would stop at nothing. He cautioned the officers that every possible kind of "frame-up," would be resorted to in the last minutes of the campaign to recall the dry councillmen. Police said today they fully expected that Gelssinger or some other U.S.A. club conspirator would disappear before the election and remain in hiding until after Tuesday in order to give credence to reports of violence. Any group of men who will enter into a conspiracy with ex-convicts in an effort to injure men of the integrity of Mayor Metcalf, Councilmen Knipe, Hasson and Slaback and other law enforcement advocates, will stop at nothing in their "rule or ruin" policy is the consensus of opinion in Anaheim today. Those who have been reading the venomous articles in the U.S.A. club organ which Gelssinger wrote declared there was a very familiar sound to the language in the purported threat letter. The proper signature should have been J.A.Gelssinger. It was openly declared today. The dead giveaway was the phrase "I know you have the power to turn the election next Tuesday." That sounds so much like the well-known sotterion of Gelssinger that it would be impossible to carry the "frame- (Continued on Page Two)
