REALTY MEN NAIL U.S.A. CLUB LIE Local realtors today nailed U.S.A. club lies that out-of-town people would not rent or buy in Anaheim under the present administration, and that they were waiting for the present board to be "kicked out" before making investments here. W. B. Allen, realty man, said today that his office within two weeks had made twelve rentals of houses and apartments, and that a large percentage of these were rented to people coming in from out of town. Mr. Allen said: "Business is looking up; we have lots of inquiries from people right now, wanting to trade property elsewhere for Anaheim property. In fact, we are not able to take care of all these requests, for it is easier to find out-of-town people who want to trade for property here than it is to find Anaheim people who want to part with their property." Mr. Allen said that inquirers who expressed any preference in the political situation had preferred the present council. People are not anxious to bring up their boys and girls in a town dominated by the liquor ring. "We have repeatedly been told by prospective buyers," Mr. Allen said, "that they would come to Anaheim if the present council was retained, but if they were defeated, they would not." One communication to this effect, which Mr. Allen exhibited, was from R. L. LeHigh who has an acre across the road from the transmission station between here and Santa Ann, to trade for Anaheim property to make his home here if the liquor interests are kept out of power. Mr. Allen says his company does not always take outside listings to exchange for local property because it is difficult to trade for Anaheim realty holdings. F. A. Rupert, another local realty man, also nailed the U.S.A. club lie: "I have glove or seven" Around The COURT HOUSE Efforts of W. H. Pillsbury of Anaheim to have his sentence in the county jail terminated, had failed today, Superior Judge Z. B. West having refused to end the imprisonment, ordered when it was shown Pillsbury was $1400 in arrears on allmoney payments due Mrs. Louise Pillsbury. Pillsbury told the court he was "flat broke," and that his imprisonment would not aid him in obtaining the money. Stanley Chapman's suit for a permanent injunction against the city of Pullerion, seeking to prevent payment of $2800 to E. S. Ward, investigator who obtained evidence on which the recent dry raids were conducted will open before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams April 23. Ward's counter suit to compel the city to pay him the amount of the warrant authorized by the city council, will be decided at the same time. OFFICERS' HANDS NOT TIED NOW (Continued from Page One) are going around to their friends saying, "Be careful, boys; don't let them catch you with anything now; they seem to be getting us all! If you have anything, better hide it in the hay—take it over to one of the Big Boys' houses on South Claudina and leave it awhile where there is a lot of pre-war whiskey that the law cannot touch." And then with the promise that "If we win this election we will have just the kind of officers we want—and it's not the kind we have now, either!" Any joke will get old! The record of the officers was shown to be as claimed because only five violators were caught in the county-wide raid in Anaheim. Ex-Convict Makes Another Affidavit (Continued from page 2) councilman who could be "framed" he says in a second affidavit published today. The City Council Campaign Committee was optimistic over the results tomorrow. There can be no question about the election of the entire law enforcement state; all those who favor clean, efficient government go to the polls tomorrow, it was declared. Voters were urged to go to the polls early to avoid crowding and confusion that will result otherwise later in the day since these will be a heavy vote. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. "No one need feel any timidity about going to the polls tomorrow," Mayor Metcalf emphasized today. "There will be ample police provision against any possible violence, although we don't expect anything of the kind. Politics have been tense here for some time and there has been no untoward acts. We don't look for them tomorrow, although we are prepared to nip in the bud anything in that direction." The campaign closes tonight. from R. L. LeHigh who has an acre across the road from the transmission station between here and Santa Ann, to trade for Anaheim property to make his home here if the liquor interests are kept out of power. Mr. Allen says his company does not always take outside listings to exchange for local property because it is difficult to trade for Anaheim realty holdings. F. A. Rupert, another local really man, also nailed the U.S.A club lie. "I have six or seven prospective out-of-town buyers at present who want Anaheim property," Mr. Rupert said, "and I have three deals on right now. And if they'll come to my office I'll prove it to them, and if they don't believe it I'll take them into my car and drive them out to see it." Mr. Allen announced the following rentals in the last two weeks: W. H. Mansfield, 504 Illinois-st; Thomas Finney, 508 Illinois-st; A. B. Narath, 514 Illinois-st; C. P. Narath, 520 Illinois-st; Frank Gawlecke, 612 No. Claudina st; Charles Mendenhall, 416 So. Olive-st; three three-room apartments at the Schulte Flats on Sa. Los Angeles-st; one at 118 West Broadway, and one other. PUBLIC FEELING AGAINST TURKEY ATHENS, Feb. 2—Public feeling against Turkey, already at a high pitch, reached the boiling point this evening with circulation of reports here that Turkey intends to expel 34 bishops and priests of the Greek orthodox church. The Turks, said these reports, plan to make capital of the agitation carried out by the orthodox ecclesiastic, Papacftaxmon. There were other reports that Moslems were scheming an anti-Greek pants that would cause 200,000 Hellenese to leave Turkey. ATHENS STIRRED ATHENS, Feb. 2. — War-like sentiment still stirred a part of the population at the capital today, although the government was endeavoring to maintain a calm attitude while awaiting a reply from Turkey to the Greek protest against expulsion of Ecumenical Patriarch from Constantinople. ANGORA, Feb. 2. — Mustapha Kemal, president of the Turkish republic, today had taken personal charge of the Turkish end of the Greco-Turkish controversy. It was understood that Turkey took the attitude that the expulsion of the Patriarch was an all.

It was understood that Turkey took the attitude that the expulsion of the Patriarch was an internal question which Turkey alone could handle and that Greece had no right of intervention. The Greek population of Turkey is considerably stirred up and some portions of the Turkish population is in a belligerent mood. PARIS, Feb. 2. — The French government endeavored today to bring about a friendly feeling between Greece and Turkey. Premier Herriot received separately the Greek minister and the Turkish minister. Herriot it was officially stated, "strongly urged the necessity of reaching an agreement" on the question of Greece maintaining an Ecumenical patriarch in Constantinople. GENEVA, Feb. 2. — The proposal made in Athens that the League of Nations be called upon to pass judgment on the expulsion of the head of the Greek Church from Constantinople, has not come to the League in any official form. It was said today by the League secretarial. NAB BURGLAR PAIR LOE ANGELES, Feb. 2. — Surprising three alleged burglars as they were entering a home in Eastmont-ave early today two motorcycle officers, engaged the men in a daring gun battle and captured two of the trio. The officers are said to have seen the men halt an automobile near the home of W. M. Gerheart and enter the house thru side windows. J. A. Chitty for orange trees, 204 Bush; phone 671-M.—Adv. IN SUPREME COURT WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. — The months' old fight to prevent elevation of Alty-Gen, Harlan Flake Stone to the U.S. supreme court virtually ended this afternoon when the senate judiciary committee recommended his appointment for the second time. The committee took this action when Senators Borah, Republican of Idaho, and Walsh, Democrat of Montana, withdrew their opposition to the appointment which had been based on charges that Stone was "persecuting" Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat of Montana. While the committee was approving Stone's promotion, a federal grand jury met in the court house, a few blocks away, to vindict Wheeler. It was this move by the attorney general that provoked the attack on his nomination. The committee acted without a record roll call, but announcement was made that no negative votes were cast against Stone. Sen. Walsh attended the session. The result, it was predicted, insures confirmation of Stone by the senate within a few days. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. — Another President Coolidge's appointments, that of Wm. E. Humphries of Seattle, Washington as a member of the federal trade commission, was held up today in the senate. As a result of a fight which developed in the interstate commerce committee a sub-committee was appointed to investigate Humphries' connection with lumber and oil concerns. The committee named was Senators Watson, Rep. of Indiana; Pees, of Ohio, and Mayfield, Dem. of Texas. PRAYER SERVICES IN TENT TO MORROW All prayer services of the different prefects will be held in the tent tomorrow morning, beginning at 9:30. Dr. Bulgin, and the Messrs. Carter and Gourley will be present and enthusiastic meetings are anticipated. There will be no group meetings at the homes on Tuesday.

"There will police provision against violence, although we expect anything of the kind. have been tense here for one and there has been ward acts. We don't them tomorrow, altho prepared to nip in the thing in that direction." Campaign closes tonight with another big rally of law enforcement adversities at the great tent at Claudina and Wilhelminasts. The city band will play and mayor and councilmen will speak. There will be no parade other than the band matching from Center-st to the tent. No parade had been contemplated, notwithstanding an assertion in the U.S.A. club organ that thousands or klaxamen would march here tonight. This erroneous story was sent out to newspapers elsewhere by the same source of misinformation. Another mis-statement of the U.S.A. club organ that cartoons published in the Plain Dealer had been drawn at the city hall. Not a single cartoon nor any other campaigning of any kind has been done at the city hall, it was emphatically declared today by Mayor Metcalf. Claims of the Anaheim C. of C., published in the U.S.A. club organ, that it brought the Orange-co Citrus Products Co., here after months of negotiation, are, as usual, not based on fact. This company is the outgrowth of efforts in a small way made by the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n, last summer to get a profit from small size oranges. The juice was removed largely by hand labor at the company's packing house. Manager William Webster still is the leading spirit of this concern, only nominally secretary. Later the Mission Punch Co. came in, and was to have located near Olive, but this project still is in abeyance. "PREDICTS LARGE DRY MAJORITY" (Continued from Page One) opponents of the present council claim that this is not an issue in the present campaign. "The City Council Campaign committee has based the campaign on facts and have met every argument with facts and figures." "Mayor Metcalf issued a challenge three weeks ago to the opposition to meet him in joint public discussion upon the issues involved in this campaign, but this was not accepted after appearing in the Plain Dealer for ten days. "Every effort possible has been made by the 'wets' to defeat the present city administration, even to the extent of employing exconvicts to try and 'get something' on them which they were unable to do. "All the talk about 'martial law' in Anaheim is all 'bunk' as the local police will see that the election will be conducted in an orderly manner and no one will have located near Olive, but this project still is in abeyance." "There has never been any ques- in my mind as to the council of this municipal election am sure that the large majority of our people are in favor enforcement and that the council will be retained in with the addition of Harry Tennon in place of G.J. Stock, the old wet machine on the ell. "The law enforcement dates will go into office by 1000 majority."

Nothing has been heard for hours from the herec men of the north rushing antitoxin here for Nome's diphtheria epidemic sufferers. A fierce storm has been raging over the snow and ice covered trails forming the path of the mushers and today's heavy winds causing drifted snow will add to the troubles of the drivers and dogs. Dog teams may be dispatched from here to search for Sengella and his companions. PRESIDENT INTERESTED WASHINGTON, Feb. 2—President Coolidge took a personal interest today in the spectacular flight of antitoxin across the stormy wastes of Alaska to relieve an epidemic of diptheria at Nome. The President sent for Assistant Sec'y of the Treasury Wadsworth, in charge of the public health service and inquired minutely into what the service is doing to help Nome. Wadsworth informed Mr. Coolidge that another consignment of 1,250,000 units of antitoxin is leaving Seattle tomorrow for the far north and when it reaches there will be used in immunizing those not already stricken with the disease. It was not feasible to attempt shipment by airplane. Wadsworth told the president.

This stricken city was still waiting the arrival early today of dog teams bringing life-giving serum to its diphtheria sufferers. Flerce storms in the Norton sound region have delayed the mushers from the south. They are not expected here until possibly as late as noon today. Poor connections were made by the dog team relays at Old Woman it was learned today and the mushers did not speed out of Unalakleet until 5:30 Saturday night. The temperature raised here during the last few hours from 22 degrees below zero to about zero. A bilizzard is raging to the southward and is believed to have covered the trails to be followed by the dogs, making their progress slow. Three relays are being used to rush the antitoxin packet to Nome. Edward Rohn and James Hanson having hurried from here to the assistance of Leonard Seppella, champion musher of Alaska, who has carried the brunt of the long trek from Nenana. Rohn was reported to have made the last relay and Seppella was expected to drive the dogs in the final dash into Nome. M. I. Summers, superintendent of the Hammon Gold Co. and chairman of the board of health here, has sent word to points south that no expense be spared in adding the dogs on their epoch-making flight across the snows. Additional dogs were gathered where available along the route into Nome and these will be used if the Siberians from the south become too weak to continue their long run. None of the relict dogs however are as swift as Seppella's champions and these world sweep stakes winners will be continued in the race against death as long as they are able to stand the terrific pace. 27 CASES 28 SUSPECTS NOME, Alaska, Feb. 2. Nome's diptheria epidemic, threatening to wipe out entirely the isolated settlement, was worse today with the official report of the board of health showing 27 cases, 28 suspects and from 90 to 100 contacts. Two additional cases, which have not been determined officially, were reported by Miss Emily M. Morgan, the public nurse who is battling with Nome's fone physician, Dr. Curtis Welch, to prevent spread of disease. That hundreds have been exposed in addition to the 600 residents of Nome, was learned today when Dr. Welch was notified that Margaret Curran, daughter of a dog team mail carrier, who cooks at her father's roadhouse a short distance out of Nome, had been stricken with the disease. LOS ANGELES—Nine persons were injured here today when two Los Angeles Railway street cars crashed together at Twelfth and Paloma-ats, it was reported to the Central Police Station. One car is said to have stopped to investigate a crash with an automobile truck when the second car crashed into it. WASHINGTON—The U. S. supreme court today referred to the West Texas Federal circuit court of appeals the appeal of Dennis H. Chapin of San Antonio, Tex., to prevent removal to Los Angeles.

OCTOGENARIAN DIES YESTERDAY Luther Mazon, 80, died yesterday afternoon in the hospital here after a short illness. The body was taken to Norwalk, where services will be held. Mr. Mazon had resided in Buena Park about four years, moving to that place from near Artesia. He is survived by the widow, two daughters and one son. Services will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. in the Norwalk undertaking parlor, Rev. S. F. Hilgenfeld of Buena Park Congregational church, officiating. Two additional cases, which have not been determined officially, were reported by Miss Emily M. Morgan, the public nurse who is battling with Nome's lone physician, Dr. Curtis Welch, to prevent spread of disease. That hundreds have been exposed in addition to the 600 residents of Nome, was learned today when Dr. Welch was notified that Margaret Curran, daughter of a dog team mail carrier, who cooks at her father's roadhouse a short distance out of Nome, had been stricken with the disease. One case in Nome was contracted at the roadhouse and many others were believed to have been exposed at the same place. Travellers in all directionrs out of Nome were feared to have made contact with the disease and its spread to adjacent camps was regarded as probable altho no cases except that of Miss Curran have been reported outside of Nome. Increase in the number of cases and the possibility that the dreaded scourge has spread to nearby settlements caused Dr. Welch to declare today that additional shipments of antitoxin must be shipped to Nome. He said it would probably be better to bring the next shipment in by airplane. A shipment of 1,100,000 units of the precious remedy was shipped Saturday from Seattle on the steamer Alameda bound for Seward and an airplane with Roy S. Darling, of Fairbanks to drive it is available at Fairbanks. Darling is agent for the department of justice at Fairbanks and has been given permission of the officials to make the flight to the north. C. W. Thornton chairman of the Nome Chapter of the American Red Cross received radio messages today from San Francisco and other chapters of the organization offering aid to stricken Nome. Thornton is doing valuable work assisting the health board in seeing that quarantine regulations are obeyed. Most of the residents are remaining quietly in their homes, fearing to go out doors. No lodge meetings or public gatherings of any kind are held and all persons have been asked to refrain from gathering in groups. A Class Ad will bring you results.
