Thursday evening several hundred children will occupy the platform and give a very interesting program under the direction of Roy Gourley. Bulgin said he had received seven signed letters within a few hours. One asked the difference between an atheist, infidel, agnostic, unitarian, universalist and materialist. He said: "An atheist denies God, the miraculous creation of the earth and substitutes evolution; an indefeats fidelity and denies the Bible; an agnostic does not know about God and does not care (he is the worst kind of unbeliever to convert); unitarian believes there is a God but not Holy Ghost and the Son (he says Jesus was a good man but not divine;) universallist believes every man will be saved; materialist denies all revelations of God." Another letter asked: "Can you give us women a rule to go by in voting at any election?" Bulgin replied: "Find out which side the old booze bunch is on and vote against it. The old booze bunch never makes a mistake. You shouldn't either. The booze bunch is smart enough to get some pretty good men to hide behind. But you must remember that a good man elected to office can't be anything but a tool for those who elected him. You always elect men to office but a party to power. No official is better than his constituency. Another letter asked: "How will I know that I have been saved?" Bulgin replied: "Your feelings will not tell you whether you have been saved. Salvation depends upon the eternal fact whether you believe in Jesus Christ; upon whether you accept the promise, 'He that cometh to me I will in no wise saint out.' Salvation is more important than taxation, agriculture and politics." Bulgin's text was from Job 40:8: "Wilt thou condemn me?" Bulgin said: "When spiritual difficulties come don't waste time on a D.D., an LLD, or an X Y Z. Go to God with your trouble. The he slay me yet will I trust him." "A man is never down until he is willing to stay down. When you lay down they'll walk all over you! When you stand up they have to go around.

A. G. Wilson, residing near the scene of the accident, said he heard the men singing and when he observed them just before the crash they appeared not to have noticed the approach of the train. The dead: Matt Sabich, Marian Sabich, John Puliz and M. Bianga. KILLED WHEN CAR GOES OVER CLIFF SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.—John Candino of Colma, a suburb out of San Francisco, was killed and three companions injured when the automobile in which they were riding went over an embankment on the Bay Shore highway outside of Colma. 200,000 FRUIT TREES—AB leading varieties.

Claudina-st. To correct the mass of misrepresentation of the administration accumulated since the previous meeting, Mayor E. H. Metcalf will address another public gathering tonight, beginning at 8:30, in the Bulgin evangelistic tent at North Claudina and Wilhelmina-st. Other councilmen will be present but the Mayor will be the principal speaker. The chief of the administration has been kept busy ever since the campaign opened, either answering or furnishing the facts for answers to a barrage of falsification or false conclusions published in another local "newspaper." His opponents have made endless accusations without an lot of real proof to back them up. They have talked about a Khan controlled city without mentioning a single instance of official unfairness or favoritism or even influence. Finding that putting a label on the administration wasn't creating an issue, the U.S.A. Club and its backers have floundered about trying to find some other issues, such as extravagance in the administration—one of the worst lies of all; business depression, which appears to be confined to certain stores with whose political unfairness the public has become disgusted; lack of industries here, when it is notorious that the Anaheim C. of C. has done practically nothing for the city industrially, except to purchase an industrial tract, paid for mainly by the merchants, who, as a class, were least able to do so. Everybody is welcome to attend tonight's meeting. The city band will provide music.

HAVE HANDS TIED NOW To the Anaheim "Wreckers". The undersigned have served the people of Anaheim faithfully and effectively in enforcing the law, in protecting your homes, your families and your business and property. The RECORDS show it, WE do not have to prove it—the proof is in the public records. During this campaign we have not participated, we have simply been enforcing the law. But we have observed, we have watched in silence while you wrecked the fair name and reputation of Anaheim. A "wet" Anaheim with protected bootlegging and other lawlessness seems to be your idea of city government. So, about eight of you conspired to take the backstep and restore the former disgraceful conditions from which Anaheim was rescued last spring by a 2 to 1 vote. With the "Daily Wrecker" as the mouthpiece you become a real "Wrecker Brigade" altho hiding behind honeyed phrases of peace and friendship and you thought the people of Anaheim would not know; you mistook their intelligence. No officer of the law can read your constant sneers and velled threats and not know that law violation is dearer to you than enforcement—that if again in power Anaheim would be a haven of safety for protected crime, boose and done selling to our children and weak men. Knowing this, we feel that no officer can, as good citizens, and officers loyal to their outbs as such, take any other stand than open, positive antagonism to a clique and a program such as yours that would have boostful tools of law breakers in places of power.

That affiant discussed at length and in detail the means to be employed to get-the Mayor to make an appointment with Mrs. CANDIDATES WEAKEN Sentiment Indicates Dry Slate Will Get Big Majority Tomorrow It was apparant today to the veriest novice in things political that any hope the U. S. A. club might have had of recalling Anaheim's first dry council was hopefully shattered Saturday when L. E. Miller, U. S. A. club candidate, made his fatal admissions that he believed J. A. Geissinger's claim to having received a purported threat letter was a "frame-up," that he did not believe the present council was under the dictation of the Klan or any other organization or individual and, finally, that he and other candidates of the U. S. A. club acknowledged they were powerless to control the campaign of those seeking their election. The public generally had already coincided with all three concessions of Mr. Miller. No more certain flareback has ever been seen here to an attempted "frame-up" as the Geissinger letter, which had been predicted a week ago by J. R. Jobe, ex-convict employed by U. S. A. club leader to "get something" on the dry councilmen. As Miller says and the public generally agrees, the present council is not under the dictation of any organization or group of individuals, it was pointed out today, then the recall election tomorrow is excuseless and the men who forced it upon the community, with all the attendant strife, should be severely censured. With the U. S. A. club candidates themselves agreeing upon this point, the idea comes near being unanimous, especially since not one single bit of proof has been disclosed to back up the charge of dictation. That the admissions of Miller were considered fatal by the U. S. A. club supporters was conclusively evidenced this morning when three of the most strenuous advocates of the recall, each of whom has been arrested and fined for violation of the prohibition law, were engaged in a heated conversation on Center-at-near Los Angeles, in which the principal theme was "why didn't Miller have sense enough to keep his mouth shut!" Well-founded rumors came thick and fast today that Candidates Franzen, Grafton and Mathis entirely agreed with all that Miller State of California County of Orange J. R.

That affiant discussed at length and in detail the means to be employed to get the Mayor to make an appointment with Mrs. Brooks in Los Angeles in a room, and suggested that she get him into a room where she would already have some whiskey, and get the Mayor to take a drink and arrangements would have been made to have Capt. Cahill and affiant in the closet, and after getting him to take a drink, break out and take him for bringing the whiskey, drinking and having liquor in his possession. The report made to Mr. Ganah and addressed to him in long hand was dictated by me to Mrs. Brooks and covered about seven pages. This report was sent by messenger boy to Mr. Ganah who reported that he had left it in Ganahl's office with his clerk and I paid the boy a dollar for the service; that the next day I saw Mr. Sidnam in his office and Mr. Sidnam produced the report and showed it to affiant. That he produced the report to prove his connection with Mr. Ganah as I had refused to talk with him till he showed me some evidence. He then produced the report reminding me that I had sent that report to Mr. Ganahl, and Mr. Ganah had turned it over to him, Mr. Sidnam. That when I first was sent for by Capt. Cahill there was no arrangement made for any money to be paid except thru him, and it later to save trips back and forth, that I was to go to Mr. Ganah instead of the money going through Capt. Cahill's hands. And further affiant saith not. J. R. JOBE.

The decision was rendered in the case of the First National Bank of Mobile, which refused to allow inspections of a depositor's account. GET LOST IN DARK Called by Mrs. W. H.

Well-founded rumors came thick and fast today that Candidates Franzen, Grafton and Mathis entirely agreed with all that Miller had to say, especially about the fact that the situation was entirely beyond their control and their protests against some of the high-handed tactics of their campaign managers had been entirely ignored. If the old wet political machine is running them now, what will it be doing should they be elected, it was asked today. One of the above three candidates was quoted as saying that he would give $1000 to be out of this mess." The parents of one of the three candidates have announced that "the present councillors are good enough for us; we will vote for the law enforcement candidates." Backing up the interview on his conversation with Miller Saturday, W. B. Allen today made the following affidavit: STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF ORANGE—as: Mr. W. B. Allen, of lawful age, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: that the statement in the Plain Dealer of January 31st in regard to Louis E. Miller, candidate on the U.S.A. ticket for councilman was true in every respect; that said Miller did state in the presence of myself and two other voters of Anaheim that he believed the threat letter sent to J. A. Geissinger to be a fake; also that he did not believe that Mayor Metcalf or the city council was dominated by the Klan or anyone else. W. R. ALLEN, Sworn to this 2nd day of February, 1925. J. R.
