SPEED UP RACE WITH LIFE FLUID NOME, Alaska, Jan. 31.—Dr. Curtis J. Welch, in charge of the battle against Nome's diphtheria epidemic, issued the following statement today: "Deaths, five, Supecia, 30, Contacts, 50, New cases, 1, Dr. Welch said all of his supply of antitoxin had been exhausted and arrival of dog teams from the south this afternoon or tonight would probably save many lives. He said the serum he had used was six years old and not as effective as fresh antitoxin. By SCOTT G. BONE Governor of Alaska (Written exclusively for I. N. S., Copyright 1925 I. N. S.) JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 31.—In a race for life, Leonard Seppella, the most famous musher of the northland, who won the dog team sweepstakes in 1914 by going over the ice and snow from Nome to Candle, a distance of 1410 miles, in 70 hours and 16 minutes, is today winning higher laurels in service to humanity. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, he was due to meet a relay team from Ruby, Alaska, bearing 300-000 units of antitoxin for the relief of diphtheria sufferers at Nome. Seppella left Nome Tuesday southwardbound simultaneously with a relay dog team setting out for Nenana and extraordinary progress has been made in both directions to date. With continued good luck the serum should reach the hands of Dr. Curtis Welch, assistant health officer and the only physician at Nome, by Monday or Tuesday. Thus an emergency will be met by herole means, thanks to Dr. J. B. Beeson formerly Montana and Seattle physician of the railway hospital at Anchorage, who supplied the serum. A week's time was saved after the consignment from Juneau was delayed by the prompt action of intervals provided food for the men and fish for the dogs. Onward over the ice and frozen tundra the teams traveled tirelessly. The succor of dying children stimulated them to supreme efforts. Every moment meant the possible saving of a life. Bulletins by signal corps men reached the governor daily. The first came from Wetzel and read: "Shannon leaves at 9 p.m. and have arranged for relay teams to drive day and night until Nome team is met." Dr. Welch wired from Nome as follows: "Seppella starting at once and driving light." Another from Wetzel said: "Antitoxin due Ruby about 9 p.m. The next message showed a gain of time: "Antitoxin departed Ruby 7:20 p.m." Thus the bulletins ran until the cheering news came that the relay team had reached Nulane at 10 a.m. and was due to meet the Nome team at Kaltag at 3 p.m. Friday. Phenomenal achievement that—"Sourdough" marvelled and could scarcely believe the wires. It was true, however, but not without cost to the heroes of the north. Bill Shannon's hands were frozen and the parkas (hooded coverings worn over the heads of the dog team drivers) of all the drivers were caked with ice causing them to be bitterly cold. They suffered for the suffering. Seppella had skirted Norton sound and crossed the tundra overland to Kaltag while the others came down the Tanana river and the mighty Yukon. There the serum changed hands and Seppella, winning sweepstakes of glory, turned about and retreated his train to Unalakleet and Nome. No need to enjoin haste upon him or his dogs. They understand. Seppella covered the 285 miles from Nome to Kaltag in three days or thereabouts and will do as well or better on the return lap, providence permitting. All the northland pins its faith FEW DEATHS TO DATE NOME, Alaska, Jan. 31.—was waiting today with tape control for the arrival of theria serum by airplane or team from Fairbanks. According to statistics funded International News Service Dr. Curtis Welch, the only elan in Nome, there has been deaths in the epidemic thus all children, two white, two mos; there are 15 typical cases eight suspected cases with 2 other persons have been injured. Lack of a bacteriological laboratory has prevented early diarrhea of the cases, which cannot be titted positively, until well owed. The four-year-old antitoxin been exhausted and the only maining supply is six years and about 40 per cent effluent. Dr. Welch estimated there enough to treat one severe case. A million and half units enroute from Seattle and Sept is bringing 300,000 units more. The city is quarantined every precaution being to Dr. Welch, working night and has the situation in hand, but menace will remain serious the arrival of the serum. Streets of the camps seem as children are being kept safely indoors. The morale is a despite the menacing plague. REACH NOME TODAY FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Jan. 1. Men and mushing dogs today fast nearing terror stricken Nearing to the diphtheria suffer life giving antitoxin. The last relay of the chame racers heard from at Fairbairn was beyond NuLato, 230 miles. Nome, at noon yesterday. Exceptional good luck the mers should plunge into Nome the slippery ice trail some time day. The proposed airplane flight Roy S. Darling, agent of the partment of justice here, has abandoned, owing to the fast nining of the great huskies. Ing was to have intercepted dog teams and made the final Nome but this will not With continued good luck the serum should reach the hands of Dr. Curtis Welch, assistant health officer and the only physician at Nome, by Monday or Tuesday. Thus an emergency will be met by herole means, thanks to Dr. J. B. Beeson formerly Montana and Seattle physician of the railway hospital at Anchorage, who supplied the serum. A week's time was saved after the consignment from Juneau was delayed by the prompt action of Dr. Welch at Nome and Postoffice inspector E. G. Wettler of Nenana by their quick action in starting the race against death. Their efforts under authorization of the governor of Alaska, quickly enlisted the services of experienced mushers, expediting the delivery of the precious remedy. In the region of Nenana, where the late Pres. Harding in July 1923 drove the golden spike commemorating the completion of the government railroad, the most bitter weather in 20 years prevailed but undaunted W. J. Shannon, Edgar Kallen, Jim Kallen, Dan Green, John Folger and Titus Nicholas, responded to the call, whipped their teams into shape and braved the elements. Under a milder temperature on the Seward peninsula, Seppella sped away. The Northern Commercial Cocted an dispatcher of the travelers at the north and the schedules were kept like clockwork. Roadhouse keepers at 30 mile sound and crossed the tundra overland to Kaltag while the others came down the Tanana river and the mighty Yukon. There the serum changed hands and Seppella, winning sweepstakes of glory, turned about and retraced his train to Unalakleet and Nome. No need to enjoin haste upon him or his dogs. They understand. Seppella covered the 285 miles from Nome to Kaltag in three days or thereabouts and will do as well or better on the return lap, providence permitting. All the northland pins its faith to his prowes and endurance. An airplane, if equipped and available might have withstood the blasts and delivered the serum quicker or might not. Heaven knows. Heroleally manned and favored by wind and cross currents it could have put forth no finer efforts for humanity's sake than these sturdy mushers have done and are doing—Seppella, Shannon, the Kallens, Green Folger and Nicholas — whose achievements will live long in song and story. This, the last of the American frontiers, breeds and nurtures such heroism as theirs. It is born of the tundra, the mountains, the waters and the Arctic. It is inherent of Alaska for which a beneficent nation has done so much but of which it knows so little. No less a hero is Curtis Welch, the family doctor of Nome and the region for countless miles thereabouts. The last relay of the champions heard from at Fairbairn was beyond Nuulato, 230 miles from Nome, at noon yesterday. Exceptional good luck the masters should plunge into Nome; the slippery ice trail some time day. The proposed airplane flight Roy S. Darling, agent of the parment of justice here, has abandoned, owing to the fastening of the great huskies. Ing was to have intercepted dog teams and made the final from Nome but this will not necessary now as the dogs finish the trip before Darling. In his speedy airplane, could take them. RACES WITH DEATH ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Jan. With precious serum to save lives of scores, including many children, dying in Nome, Ala., Leonard Seppella, world's champion dog Derby racer, was winning his race against death today. A wireless message here replied that Seppella left Kaltag about 300 miles from Nome terday afternoon and he expected to come to the end of the same time this afternoon. It figured here by pioneers of north that with good luck Seppella would reach the stricken city at about 1 o'clock this afternoon. This would make the record time of the muskogs across the frozen trail for Nenana to Nome, a distance more than 1000 miles total hohrs.

Children, two white, two Eskimo, there are 19 typical cases and it suspected cases with whom other persons have been in contact of a bacteriological labora-ble has prevented early diagnosis of these cases, which cannot be identified positively, until well developed. The four-year-old antitoxin has exhausted and the only supply is six years old about 40 per cent effective. Welch estimated there was much to treat one severe case.

The last relay of the champion is heard from at Fairbanks beyond Nulato, 230 miles from it at noon yesterday. With a good luck the mushroom plunge into Nome over slippery ice trail some time too. The proposed airplane flight of S. Darling, agent of the department of justice here, has been denounced, owing to the fast run-off of the great huskies.

He has to pass across blizzard cut Nortop bay but strung along the way are three roadhouses where he may stop for a brief rest and food. The three roadhouses are 25 miles apart on this side of the bay and will furnish a chance to feed boiled rice and salmon to the dogs and give the champion driver a chance to change the moostains on the dogs' feet, pricked by the "spacar" ice of the coated snow drifts. MORE SERUM SHIPPED SEATTLE, Jan. 31—Packed as carefully as though the shipment consisted of jewels of great price, 1,100,000 units of death-cheating antitoxin are being rushed to diphtheria stricken Nome aboard the steamship Alameda, which sailed from Seattle at 9 o'clock this morning for Seward. The precious serum, according to the present outlook, will be transported by dog teams from Nenana to Nome, and for this reason extraordinary precautions were taken to pack it so as to prevent freezing. And even now Dr. G. M. Magruder, public health officer in charge of this district, is afraid that it will freeze on the long sub-zero weather journey. If the antitoxin does freeze its efficacy will not be affected, Dr. Magruder explained today, the danger being that the glass containers in which it is packed will break. For this reason each of the hundreds of containers was packed separately in warm padding, so that if some of them break others may be saved. Then they were put in double cases, an air space between the two walls of each, and the cases in turn were placed in mail stacks. The entire shipment weighs only a little over a hundred pounds—but it will save hundreds of lives if it reaches Nome in time. So far Dr. Magruder has received no instructions from Washington, D.C., regarding shipment of the antitoxin by airplane, but he had advised that the request for the fund had been made by Mrs. Chaplin thru Atty. McMurray. Following the publication of a statement from Mrs. Chaplin's attorners of a joint divorce.

SCHOOL GIRLS' DREAM BROKEN LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21—Charles Chaplin's child bride of but two months, Lata Grey wants her famous comedian husband to provide a trust fund of from $100,000 to $600,000 for their child yet to be born. This is the purpose of the negotiations which have been underway for the past ten days between Lloyd Wright, Chaplin's attorney, and Edwin McMurray, San Francisco attorney and uncle of Mrs. Chaplin, it was learned today from an authoritative source. The comedian's attitude, according to this same source of information, is that he is keenly desirous of making adequate financial provision for his child; if one is born, but at the same time he is said to believe that a monetary arrangement in behalf of a child yet to be born is somewhat premature. Chapulin is usually surrounded by a number of friends and servants and it is next to impossible to get to him for a statement. In an interview around Christmas Mrs. Chapulin made the announcement of the expected arrival of a baby. At that time she intimated that both she and Chapulin wanted a girl but that should it be a boy it would be named Charles Spencer Chaplin Jr. At the same time the young bride told of having given up a career on the screen at Chaplin's request as she had been his leading woman, as he wanted her to retire. A person close to Chaplin and whose version of the affair may be regarded as that of the comedian's "spokesman," stated that Mrs. Chapulin had approached her husband's attorneys with the proposition to establish the trust fund for the unborn baby which is expected to arrive soon. The informant said that the request for the fund had been made by Mrs. Chaplin thru Atty. McMurray. Following the publication of a statement from Mrs. Chaplin's attorners of a joint divorce.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31—A school girl's dream of romance and happiness with the most famous clown in the world, Charlie Chaplin, was seemingly at an end today when it was learned that attorneys representing Lita Grey Chaplin, his bride of two months after a colorless romance, were trying to effect a financial agreement between the film star and his girl wife.

Attorney McMurray said Mrs Chaplin had nothing to say and Chaplin was secluded, but just where, Ms servants would not disclose. Speculation was also rife today with the report of the financial negotiations. Just what would be their effect on the situation of a baby expected to be born to Mrs. Chaplin, who made the announcement a few weeks ago that she would become a mother, were a subject of conjecture. The Chaplin-Grey romance, while terminated at Em Palme, Mexico, in November, when the pair were married, has aroused the interest of the blaze Hollywood film colony as nothing else has ever done. Mrs Chaplin, it was reliably reported, has frequently told friends that she was unhappy because Chaplin was at home so little; that he never took her out in public and that her only diversion to break the monotony of staying alone in the Chaplin mansion in Beverly Hills is an occasional shopping tour with her mother. Soon after their marriage, Mrs. Chaplin told friends that her famous husband was busily engaged in making a picture, and that home life would have to be sideracked for the time being. With the coming visit of the stork the board of education has lifted its requirement that Mrs Chaplin devote at least three hours daily to educational studies. Both Chaplin and his wife were reported today as living beath the same root of the Chaplin home regardless of any financial agreement about to be reached. For a while, soon after the marriage, it was rumored among members of the film colony that Chaplin had taken up his home at a downtown club, leaving his wife to live alone in his big home in Beverly Hills. MILLER THINKS LETTER IS FAKE (Continued from Page One) up" any further with Mr. Average voter. The fake letter read as follows: "Anaheim, Calif., 1-27-25, Dr. James Allen Geissinger, "Anaheim, Calif." Dear (Past) Friend: "I say past friend, because I can't really class you as a friend any longer. But as a friend of yours in the past I have yet a little kindly feeling for you, and felt it my duty, before God, to give you this last warning. For God's sake, for your family's sake, and for the sake of your own life, lay off at once your dirty work against the skan. There is yet time for you to get under cover. A whole week yet remains; you can easily find a way of coming across gracefully if you will only desire to do so. By good authority I know you have the power to turn the election next Tues. Even though the "K" are defeated next week, as they likely will be unless you are wise enough to take this warning, you will not be rid of them, as many think, and then—O God help us! the worst will be to come. There will be a real house cleaning then. You will be about the first on the list of a dozen or more. "Now don't be foolish enough to have this published for it is not by the authority of the "K. K." that I am writing this in a disgusted hand. It is a matter of my own personal conscience and for your own personal welfare — so now may God help you to the right and preserve you. "An ol' dime friend of your, but now a 100% K. K. K." Considerable resentment was displayed today at the obvious effort to intimidate voters contained in an article signed by the Anaheim Republican club, J. S. Howard, president. The closing paragraph of the article read: "Remember you MUST VOTE 'YES' on the recall or your ballot will be" At a rousing meeting of County Council of the Amea Legion last evening in Fuller attended by some 43 delegates Feb. 11 was set for a big gala to be held at the Santa Hi School in commemorative the four war presidents, Winston, Lincoln, McKinley Wilson. The meeting will be sponsored by the Spanish War Veterans stated by the Legion. M. Sto Orange will be the principal speaker of the evening. The Pull Hi School band will play and Orange Hi School boy will sing on patriotism. Representatives of the G.A.A. Spanish War Veterans and Legion will also speak. The Council adopted resolution to be sent to a Los Angeles parish and the papers of the county, acting them not to publish such matter as that telling of a Costa Marian who was quoted as objecting to the hanging of the Star Sheriff Barney. Letters will be also to the state superintendent schools. Publication of stories does untold harm in bringing down the morals of patriotic speakers averred. The Council decided to try arrange for semi-annual meetings of all the posts in the county. A memorial was made on successful organization of an Garden Grove comprising forty members. The La Habra post also reorganized. L. W. Blodgett of Hunt Beach was selected president of the ensuing year and Carl E. of Santa Ana Treasurer. Blodgett will appoint the attary. Attention was called to a paign of patriotic instruction conducted by the Spanish War Veterans assisted by the Legion. On Thursday the Breen Progress published in colors a full page show- Both Chaplin and his wife were reported today as living beath the same root of the Chaplin home regardless of any financial agreement about to be reached.

"Hypocrites are scarce in the church and a greater problem than they furnish comes from the protracted infancy of the church members. Too many of them are not developed and are not an powerful and spiritual as they should be." "We need an old fashioned gospel preaching revival for them and we need holiness, regeneration and Sabbath observance. Hook on to God Almighty and let the old-fashioned Holy Ghost religion sweep in." If we'd spend a day with our physicians, visiting homes where poverty and disease vie with each other for possession of the household, we'd complain less about our lots in life. Considerable resentment was displayed today at the obvious effort to intimidate voters contained in an article signed by the Anaheim Republican club, J. S. Howard, president. The closing paragraph of the article read: "Remember you MUST VOTE 'YES' on the recall or your ballot will be thrown out." Charles Barr, member of the county republic central committee, bitterly arraigned this threat today. "What right has the Anaheim Republican Club or any other club to say your ballot will be thrown out unless it is favorable to the recall? The Republican club does not constitute the boards of election officials. It should be remembered that J. S. Howard is one of the 16 former office-holders who have taken such an active part in forcing the recall on the city. Howard was also one of the disappointed applicants for appointment to the office of city recorder. He was strong for the city council until turned down." "Voters should certainly disregard this effort of the Republican club," concluded Barr. ANOTHER PROSPERITY NOTE!
