Committed by Youths of 17 to 23 in Last 6 Years In the last six years 75 per cent of all crime in the U.S. has been committed by youths between 16 and 23. If this should continue for ten years there would not be enough institutions to hold the criminals, declared Dr. Gilbert Thayer, noted psychologist, last evening in the first of a series of four nightly lectures at the big tent at Claudina and Wilhelminsa. If you can get a boy or girl past the age of 25 without committing a crime there is little chance he will ever commit one. When a man over 30 goes to prison he has been a criminal in youth. In three years there have been 217 cases almost as bad as the matricide of Dorothy Ellingson of San Francisco. In the larger cities there is more immorality, more booze parties, more cigaret smoking and more consumption of dope among children of high school age than ever before in the history of the world. Why, even the president of the mothers club at U. of C. at Berkeley established a smokehouse for girls. She smoked herself and declared girls should have the same opportunity. What can you expect of your children with such authority at your great universities? Dorothy Ellingson, who shot her mother in the back and then spent the night dancing, a hardened criminal, was sick mentally, physically and morally. Loeb and Leopold, hardened criminals, were the same. So was the child of seven who confessed murders of her two sisters because she liked to see them suffer. You don’t discipline your children as you were disciplined in your youth. The reason is that you fear to do it. The other day a 14-year-old child resenting a scolding took a gun and shot the father. Notwithstanding this serious prospect, the people of the U.S. are going to solve the problem and I will tell you how in my later lectures. The stars and stripes, youngest of flags, only 145 years old, seems destined to float over the nation that will lead the world. This country, now has three-fourths of the wealth of the world.

HUNTINNGTON LAKE, Feb. 13 —One hundred and fifty-two feet to go! That was the message flashed here today by radiograms over snow-covered peaks from Florence Lake, where the So. Calif. Edison Co. has two crews of 500 men each battling their way night and day thru granite rock in two headings of a 13½-mile tunnel which will mark completion of another unit in its $375,000,000 Big Creek power project, the most costly in the world's history. While the two gangs of men are straining muscles in the final drive of brain and brawn against the forces of nature, huge bets are at stake. Many of the men have bet every dollar of months of their wages as to which crew will make the final blast blowing out the last section of rock-separating the two headings. Success in the finishing shot on the four-year tunnel job will mean a small fortune to many of the workers. Completion of the tunnel, the longest and biggest in the world, alone costing $17,000,000, will be one of the final steps in the program of the So. Calif. Edison Co. to develop from the melting snows of the high Sierras enough electric energy to light the homes of 8,000,000 persons. Racing along, blast by blast, excellent progress was being made in the tunnel today and it was estimated that if good fortune attended the operations the final bore would be made early next week. With motor stages and dog teams a party of newspaper men, motion picture camera men and writers was on the way to the tunnel site to witness the fight of the gambling crews as they worked more than half a mile below the top of a lofty peak under which the tunnel, which is to carry 1500 cubic feet of water a second is being pushed. REPORT KELLOGG MAX NOT SERVEING GIRLS WHO COULD BLUSH. OT ELLELS Petitions Being Signed Generally Today in Fullerton Arthur L. Eells, Fullerton clerk of police, was notified this afternoon that his services were longer required, and asked to cover his badge. The letter to Eells was written by Fred Hexmalha city clerk, on instructions from board of trustees. He malma said that the reasons given by board was "for the bettermen the service and for more per harmony between the police partiment and the board." He there were no personalities in but that Eells is still Eells to erry member of the board. A Yates was appointed temporary chief to succeed Eells. Eells could end over the office to Yates afternoon. Dorsey Ellis immediately tuned in his resignation to Yates, fective any time between now March 1. Petitions were being widely circulated in Fullerton today protesting against the discharge of Aur L. Eells, chief of police, other changes in the Fullerton lice department ordered by lerton trustees. The petition also protest against the cut down of the number of police suggest that the number be creased instead. The petition was said, were being generally signed. The form of the petitions being circulated was as follows: To The Hon. Board of City Trees, City of Fullerton, City of Undertowled voters andidents of the city, petition that make no changes in the police partment. Considering through her traffic, we do not think it was the interest of proper economy have dismissed a motor cop, ing but one. This leaves the heavy traffic unprotected 16 hours a day. Since the motor cops turn more money than their salaries we suggest that another be ad instead of taking off one. Due to 16 hours the streets would wide open for bootleggers other illicit traffic and n danger. Law enforcement advocates were especially indignant over board's action towards Eells Ellis, both of whom it was have proved true to their oath office, to enforce the law with fear or favor. Members of the board fraught admitted today that Notwithstanding this serious prospect, the people of the U.S. are going to solve the problem and I will tell you how in my later lectures. The stars and stripes, youngest of flags, only 145 years old, seems destined to float over the nation that will lead the world. This country, now has three-fourths of the wealth of the world. Every great invention originated in this country. We are living in the best country on earth and yet I found on my tour of Europe last year that we are the laughing-stock of the world, because our great men are making laws and breaking them. More men in high positions are breaking laws than ever before. It is deplorable to see a U.S. senator, congressman, mayor or other official breaking the laws. I can refer to 27 booze parties attended by high officials of Washington in seven months. If we want prohibition we should have it. A man who cannot keep the laws should be deported. It is radical men who bring all the newness and freshness into life. Constructive radicalism is the most powerful uplifting forces in the world. Edison was considered a radical when he announced he could produce light without combustion. When Alexander Graham Bell announced to his friend, Chauncey Depew, that he had completed the telephone, Depew pronounced him a radical, that his invention was nothing more than a toy and he declined to invest $10,000 in the project. We are living fast and dying fast. I was born in 1868. Where out of 1000 live to be as old as I am. In this course of lectures I am going to give you some facts that will set you thinking. If I can do that I will increase your earning power. As a man thinketh so is he! The average child comes into the world with a million dollars worth of health. Yet in the schools of New York are 20,000 children with heart trouble. The average child comes into the world with perfect organs. Leading doctors say that with the knowledge we have now less than one per cent of children should die in infancy, whereas 500 out of every 1000 die at that age. The heart is constructed to live 200, 400 or 500 years, or indefinitely. If you have heart trouble you have not been (Continued on Page Two) With motor stages and dog teams a party of newspaper men, motion picture camera men and writers was on the way to the tunnel site to witness the fight of the gambling crews as they worked more than half a mile below the top of a lofty peak under which the tunnel, which is to carry 1500 cubic feet of water a second is being pushed. REPORT KELLOGG MAY NOT SERVE LONDON, Feb. 13.—Friends of United States Ambassador Kellogg said today "they would not be surprised if he offered to resign as secretary of state" if it would save President Coolidge from embarrassment because of the part Kellogg took in signing the Paris financial agreement. Kellogg would become secretary of state March 4, the date Chas. E. Hughes leaves that office. The American embassy denied that Kellogg was delaying his departure from London to avoid appearing before a senate committee to explain the Paris agreement. Kellogg will depart from London Feb. 17, as originally scheduled it was said. The embassy emphasized that Kellogg was not personally disturbed by the senatorial criticism. If senatorial antagonism toward the agreement and animosity toward Kellogg continue when he arrives in the United States, one of his first acts will be to submit his resignation to the president, to be accepted or declined, friends said. The embassy commented today upon a statement in the London Telegraph. The Telegraph said changes made in the Paris agreement after it had been signed were attached to the main agreement and not incorporated in it. These changes, the Telegraph said, were deletion of the words "after deduction of sums allotted for other treaty charges." These words were in the paragraph which awarded the United States two and one-quarter per cent of the Dawes annuities. The embassy said these changes were "trivial." The embassy emphasized further that the American delegation was responsible for article 27 of the agreement. This article specifically provides that the agreement does not affect other treaties. Law enforcement advocates especially indignant over board's action towards Eells Ellis, both of whom, it was proved true to their oath office, to enforce the law with fear or favor. Members of the board framed admitted today that the prosecution against Eells was he hired the dry law enforcers raiders, and it is alleged, in doing got the city's finance "bake up," and permitted a bill to submitted to the council with having been itemized. The law enforcement member of the board, however, will pose action to "fire" Eells Ellis his refusal to resign, it was led today. One member of the board all along has stood for law enforcement said today that the nation is grave, but that when comes to a board vote on the charge certain votes will against it. What if Eells did not a few mistakes in figuring out fore hand the cost of the raid asked. "If you just follow a final to the city limits you'll get him, and if you stop to fry out how much it's going to run him down by the time are thru figuring he'll be gone did not look just right for cities to bear the expenses on raid when the whole county benefited, but there seemed other way to do it. And now all I believe that a lot of those cals will be let loose. Joe Born them over to District torney Nelson, and you know that means: Nelson won't do thing with bootleggers." O. M. Thompson, however, lays the balance of power, and it will vote that will decide the contest. A group of law enforcement vocates of Fullerton this noon issued the following ment: "To the Enforcement Leader who have had a chance, as far any others can have had, to do the true enforcement merit of city police, the request of the trustees for the resignation politemen Eells and Ellis concludes a tremendous surprise and that can not be expressed."

SAYS REPORT "FIXED" TO FAVOR NAVY WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Rear Admiral Wm. R. Shoemaker was named this afternoon as the naval officer who "fixed" the report of the bombing off the Virginia Capes in 1923 so that "it would not look so bad for the navy." The charge that Shoemaker refused to permit the issuance of a report telling how a battleship was destroyed by army air men was made by Col. W. G. Schauffler, commander of an army bombing squadron in the world war before a house investigating committee. The report was to have been issued under the name of Gen. Perahing, then chief of staff of the army. Schauffler said the report made it clear that battleships could be easily destroyed by aerial bombs. ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS IMPOTENT WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. Claims by general staff officers that anti-alrcraft guns could properly protect the United States against enemy filers were ridiculed today by witnesses appearing before the house committee in investigating military aeronautics. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, premier American ace of the A.M.F., who was officially credited with 26 enemy planes, told the committee this morning that the "chief pastime" of American flyers in the world war was going aloft and permitting the "archies" to shoot at them. Rickenbacker was asked by Rep. Perkins, Rep. of New Jersey, if he had ever shot at by anti-aircraft guns. "Yes," replied Rickenbacker. TLOOD HILLA Halts Threatening High Waters in Six Down East States NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Cold weather was welcomed today by the flood area which reached over six eastern states and menacing river districts in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In upper New York state, melting snow and the steady downpour which preceded the sharp return to winter last night have piled up huge property losses. Ice jams further aggravated the floods. Schenectady streets along the Mohawk river front were flooded. Streets in Albany were covered with water. In the remote country sections, farmers families were marooned by the swollen rivers and row boats were being brought to their relief. Small towns along the Delaware river front in New Jersey have suffered considerable damage. A drop in temperature and fair weather brought relief today to residents of some of the flood-menaced areas. Rivers which had run over their banks in Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire, doing a heavy damage, began to subside. 40 INCH RAINFALL HERE YESTERDAY Yesterday's rainfall didn't materialize as strongly as had been hoped, but it brought a total of .40 of an inch, bringing the season's aggregate to 3.25, compared with 2.68 last year at this date. In the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m., today.29 fell. In 1923, 6.58 inches had fallen or nearly half the normal total of the entire season. Manager G. W. Sandilands voiced the opinion, based partly on official weather forecasts that some more rain would fall before the present torm and cloud period is ended. The Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n of Fullerton reported 40 from 7:00 a.m., yesterday to 8:00 a.m., today, making 3.26 for the season against 2.68 last year.

No. "Was your plane ever hit?" No. "Do you mean to say that flying over the German lines actually took the form of sport among our aviators?" "Indeed it was—one of the best sports." Rickenbacker declared that hits from anti-alrcraft guns from altitudes ranging all the way from tree tops to 20,000 feet were infinitimal.

Fifth-st., Cincinnati, said he lay in the passage some time listening to the workmen in the shaft and he gave it as his opinion that the shaft would penetrate almost directly above Collins’ prison. He called to Floyd several times he said, but received no answer. Between the groans, he said, he could hear no sound except long, deep regular breathing. Brenner’s report of Collins is the first which has been brought out of the depths of Sand Cave since the radio test failed some days ago. The point where Brenner said he heard Collins is estimated at about 100 feet from the mouth of the cave and 20 feet from Collins. Brenner was able to get as far as the “squeeze” according to his report to Denhardt. General Denhardt also announced that it was this trip into the passage, as much as the exploration of the crevice found in the shaft, which had brought the ordering out of workers and newspapermen from the pit this morning. Dr. Wm. Hazlett of St. Luke’s Hospital, Chicago, would not comment on the report. He already has said it was within the bounds of physical possibility for Collins to remain alive even a longer period than the 15 days he now has been a prisoner. Before an erroneous report that Floyd Collins had been rescued was entirely cleared away this afternoon, a new estimate of the length of time which probably would be required to reach him, terminating late Sunday or some time Monday, was issued by H. T. Carmichael, director. The worst material yet encountered lies just under the present level of the bottom of the shaft, he declared and this will cut HELD AS SLAYER Tbo word had reached Santa Ana today that Utah authorities had issued a complaint for the arrest on a charge of murder against Refugio Alameda, said to live in Bassett, the sheriff's office had not been so notified and had not made any arrests. The woman supposed to be Miss Alameda, however, gives her name as Mrs. Bassett, wife of a man who has been working on the new county jail. She lives at 1818 W. Fourth-st., but declares she has been married four years to Bassett an American. It is for the stabbing to death of June St. Clair at Summit, Utah, that the Santa Ana woman is said to be wanted for questioning. The slaying is reported to have occurred approximately a year ago and was the result of an asserted brawl in a house of ill fame in the Utah city. Following Miss St. Clair's death Pedro Cano was arrested and convicted. He was sentenced to hang Jan. 31, but the execution was delayed when Cano declared Miss Alameda had confessed to him that she had stabbed Miss St. Clair, an asserted rival for the favor of habitues in the house of questionable repute. Two sisters of Cano subsequently began the search for the Alameda woman and one night about ten days ago reported at the Sheriff's office at Santa Ana they had located Miss Alameda at the Santa Ana address where Mrs. Bassett lives. Sheriff's officers, however, refused to make an arrest pending authority from Utah officers, which word never has been relayed according to Sheriff Sam Jernizan. When Mrs. Bassett was seen at the time the information became known in Santa Ana, she denied ever having been in Utah and professed ignorance of the crime to which her name had been connected. Mrs. Bassett can be arrested on a minute's notice, it was declared, as a surveillance of her house has been made for the last ten days. J. A. Chilty for orange tree. 204 Bush; phone 671-M—Adv. J. A.

Dr. Frank McCOY COMES NEXT WEEK THE anti-fat folk of Anaheim will read with joy of the coming of Dr. Frank McCoy, the orange juice, fat-hating physician and dietician who brought untold gladness to the hearts and peace of mind to hundreds of over-weight men and women in Anaheim during his January lectures. Dr. McCoy is coming this time under auspices of the Women's Progressive League of Anaheim and will be here Friday night. Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in K. P. Hall. The lecture is open to the general public, and was arranged by Mrs. R. H. Beat, president, who attended Dr. McCoy's lectures here last month. Written and verbal questions will be gladly answered by Dr. McCoy on his topic, "Diet in Health and Disease." The lecture is open to everyone and is absolutely free. The date is Friday, Feb. 20 and the hour 7:30. Trade with Plain Dealer advertisers. There's a reason. Before an erroneous report that Floyd Collins had been rescued was entirely cleared away this afternoon, a new estimate of the length of time which probably would be required to reach him, terminating late Sunday or some time Monday, was issued by H. T. Carmichael, director. The worst material yet encountered lies just under the present level of the bottom of the shaft, he declared, and this will cut the normal rate of progress ten feet every 24 hours, to five feet or less. Carmichael denied that he had told anyone that the crevice "might bring out Collins by noon." "Even if the crevice had opened into the passageway where Collins lies, which I never seriously believed, it would have taken us another 12 hours to enlarge it sufficiently to permit a man to reach him," he said. "It was just a faint hope, but we sent the men in there to make sure. Another 24 hours at least will pass before we get to where we can expect to find Collins." In an official communique issued shortly before work had been resumed in the shaft, the depth was given at 50 feet, the "last three feet to be trimmed and timbered." The objective, it was stated, was to find a cave or passageway that would lead to a short cut to Collins. With that end in view," the statement continued, "we have placed the core drill over the shaft itself so that we could not be guided entirely by the findings eight feet from the shaft. The result of this core drill, which started at a depth of 50 feet and stopped at 71 feet not only did not disclose an entrance to the long looked for passageway but showed us that we had by far the most tortuous and difficult ground in the remaining 20 feet of the shaft which has been encountered up to this time." At the 60 foot level Carmichael cavern indicated by the test drill, in an effort to find a nine foot cave in indicated by the test drill. It is possible, he believes, that this may prove a kind of "clearing house" of passageways, one of which may lead to Collins' prison. Exploration of these, even after they are found, may require days. (Continued on Page Two)
