CITY HAS MINDS WORLD'S ILLS CAUSED BY IGNORANCE Tonight Thayer Speaks On Condition of Old Folks and Children Ignorance in the cause of all the world's ills, Dr. Gilbert Thayer, psychologist, declared last night in a lecture at the big tent at Claudina and Wilhelmina St., Knowledge, he said, is the Only Three Feet Cut in 9½ Hours SAND CAVE, Ky., Feb. 14. The shaft to Floyd Collins mink deadly slow through flint-like limestone today. Nine and one-half hours were consumed in cutting three feet to the 54-foot level reached at 8 a.m. This is the longest period yet consumed in digging a similar depth. It is the stamp of finality on H. T. Carmichael's announcement that at least two more days would be required to reach Collins' prison chamber. As the digging advanced, occasional fissures were struck which indicated, Carmichael announced at 8:30 o'clock, that a cavern was within striking distance. SMASH BOOZIE EVIDENCE IN CITY JAIL Two Five-gallon Bottles of Bootleg Destroyed Early This Morning In an effort to destroy evidence in bootleg cases, growing out the Orange-co liquor raid, the law was broken off the city jail where confiscated liquor has been retained, between 1:00 and 2:00 clock this morning. Tonight Thayer Speaks On Condition of Old Folks and Children Ignorance in the cause of all the world's ills, Dr. Gilbert Thayer, psychologist, declared last night in a lecture at the big tent at Claudina and Wilhelmina ata. Knowledge, he said, is the one thing that people need. His subject was: "Man as Ming and Body." Tonight he speaks on condition of children and old folks. He says his object in coming to Anaheim is to give a message of vigil importance to every man and woman in the city and to set them thinking. Following are a few of the points in his address: Christ performed some wonderful miracles when he was on earth, but aside from raising himself from the dead He performed no greater miracles than we are performing every day. I have seen the deaf restored, and the sight of the blind recovered. There are forces in the universe that man can use when he knows how to bring them into use. The more we learn the more we can see that the universe is governed by some divine power. Law, not confusion, is the order of the universe. Nothing surprises us any more. I have seen an instrument that will record how a man feels all the way across the continent, wheehe he has back ache, headache or whatever ails him. There are some things in natural law that are too big for our understanding. Pigeons know their directions without any road map. Separate a moth from its mate by 25 or 30 miles, and it will be back within a little while. How? Vital telepathy? Maybe. Mental telegraphy is a real science, and is going to be developed. Mrs. Thayer and I have practiced mental telegraphy a great many years. I might go to Chicago, put up at any hotel in the city and give myself just one might to get into mental communication with my wife, and all I would have to do would be to telegraph her to come to Chicago. I would not have to tell her the name of the hotel. When she arrived there and asked the taxi driver the names of the principal hostelries and he began calling them over, when he called the name of the hotel at which I was stopping she would know immediately. Everyone in this tent tonight practices mental telegraphy and doesn't know it. Two persons will be together, both thinking the same thing, and one city on H. T. Carmichael's announcement that at least two more days would be required to reach Collins' prison chamber. As the digging advanced, occasional fissures were struck which indicated, Carmichael announced at 8:30 o'clock, that a cavern was within striking distance. 628 CARS OF FRUIT ARE MOVED The No. Orange Citrus Exchange has shipped 628 cars of fruit, mostly oranges, since Nov. 14, with the prospect of a few more cars next week, packed by the Placentia Mutual Orange Growers' and Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n. While the figures were not available for comparison today, this total is believed to have been somewhat smaller than last year, which was the biggest in the history of the exchange, taking the crop as a whole. Placentia has been shipping more heavily than any other points in the northern section, with 42 cars in February so far. This brings the season's total nearly, if not quite, even with last year, owing to the fact that in January 91 cars were shipped against 59 in January, 1924. Only seven cars, including one of the lemons, was shipped this week. The Torba Linda Citrus Ass'n shipped four cars, all lemons, during the week. Garden Grove will not ship for 20 days yet and La Habra also in holding off.

Most of the lock was gone. Bert Barr, who has been caged of prohibition enforcement, clarified the fact that consider of the liquor had been left in containers, sufficient for evidence was proof that the jars which were smashed were not those souls.

JARDINE WILL BE NAMED SECRETARY WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—Jiam M. Jardine, of Kansas, be the new secretary of agriculture. Official announcement of appointment was made at White House this afternoon the nomination sent to the ate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—Ident Coolidge has definitively ceded to appoint Wm. M. Ja I would have to do what I should not have to tell her the name of the hotel. When she arrived there and asked the taxi driver the names of the principal hostelries and he began calling them over, when he called the name of the hotel at which I was stopping she would know immediately. Everyone in this tent tonight practices mental telegraphy and doesn't know it. Two persons will be together, both thinking the same thing, and one will take the words out of the other's mouth. What was it? Mental telegraphy. Your life is governed by divine law. You can have anything that you want. If you don't believe in psychology it's because you don't know about it. Man is body, soul and spirit. The body is governed by the soul. My subject tonight is man's mind and body. The body is made up of millions of cells. Each cell has a mind of its own. If the cell goes wrong it's because its mind is diseased. Therefore, any, all and every disease is easily cured when you know how to remove the diseased mind. Everything is governed by natural law. Our trouble is that we don't properly connect cause and effect. If we are diseased there is a cause. Remove the cause and the disease disappears. Health is natural, wealth is natural. Within 25 years there will be no such thing as poverty in the United States. Having conquered all the elements man is now turning his attention to himself. With in a few years we'll only need seven or eight doctors in the U.S. They will be able to take your diagnosis by radio and flash back what to do. Perpetual youth is not an impossibility. Old age is caused by the body being broken down faster than it is built up. Learn to keep the repair of the body up to the tear, and you have perpetual youth. I think that's possible. I'm 40 years younger now than I was 20 years ago. There is only one way to rebuild, and that is to furnish the material. Nature will do the rest. To do that, we must eat to live, drink to live, read to live, exercise to live, and think to live. The food must contain the proportionate amount of materials (Confiling on Page Six). IN RAISIN WAR FRESNO, Feb. 14.—Warrants for the arrest of 66 men, 15 named and 51 covered in "John Doe" summons, were issued today as the aftermath of alleged battery during the contract referendum for Sun Mald Raisin Growers in valley communities.

Merritt, Sun Mald president, appeared before the grand jury late yesterday and declared that the association had done everything possible to prevent violence. Chris Helmuth of Kerman is said to be dying and his brother, Peter, is in jail as the result of a fight declared to have been started at the ranch of J. P. Springer.

ORDINE WILL BE FAMED SECRETARY WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—William M. Jardine, of Kansas, will be new secretary of agricul- official announcement of the entiment was made at the House this afternoon, and nomination sent to the senWASHINGTON, Feb. 14—President Coolidge has definitely let appoint Wm. M. Jardine PARIS, Feb. 14—There was a sharp reaction in the bourse and francs decreased in value today when the decision was made in the chamber of deputies that expenses of the French government were equal to half of the annual gross income of French citizens, when the decision was made in statement, warned the chamber the limit had been reached. Violette is chairman of the finance committee of the chamber. "The 1925 budget, requiring 34,200,000,000 francs, is the maximum which can be demanded of the country," said Violette. "France's total taxable wealth is a thousand billion paper francs. Computed at six and one-half per cent, this makes France's annual income 65,000,000,000 paper francs. France's financial situation should be taken into consideration by the United States. Violette added. Violette said the income of French citizens was 65,000,-000,000 francs and that the government spends 34,300,000,000." This is more than half," he continued. "Whereas, the United States spends a twenty-third and England a twentieth of the citizens' gross income. Violette said of public speakers, such as Martin, that their "sentimental arguments were more efficacious in private conversations, public speeches on our debt should be restrained." Deputy Martin told the chamber New Estimate 20 Hours Placed on Time Needed To Reach Explorer SAND CAVE, Ky., Feb. 14—Lateral tunneling thru a limestone crevice in the side of the shaft at the 55-foot level, which it is expected, will lead to Floyd Collins' prison chamber, was started secretly shortly before 1 o'clock this afternoon. When the tunneling was started all inexperienced workers were ordered from the shaft and only expert miners allowed to enter. One of these reported the limestone which, it is believed, forms the roof of Collins' underground tomb, had been reached in the shaft. This would bring Collins immeasurably near to the rescue. Officials refused to explain this apparent discrepancy between their announcements and the reports of the workmen. The officials denied however, that lateral drilling had been started and declared the inexperienced workers were removed as a measure of safety. Expert miners, they declared, are better able to gauge the thickness of the ledge on which they are working and would most likely to have warning of any impending cave-in. At 1:50 o'clock this afternoon the official depths of the shaft was given as 55 1-5 feet. Digging then had been temporarily halted to permit completion of the anchorage work on the timbering. The rescue is being delayed, according to the engineer, to protect the lives of workmen. Entrance to the lateral tunnel now he said, while possible, might be dangerous and for this reason no one will be permitted thru until all necessary propping and other precautions have been effected. At 3:30 Elmer Turner of Bowling Green came up from the shaft and reported its bottom transformed into a madhouse. Workers had struck mud and they were attempting to wallow their way thru it without the protection of timbering. They felt their goal near. Their eyes reflected the light of frenzy. Mud caked their clothes and hair, but they felt nothing saw, nothing except perhaps that a little farther on lay the prisoner. It was Carmichael's calm voice which cleared the air. He ordered the men from the shaft and they obeyed. SAND CAVE, Ky., Feb. 14—the shaft thru which Floyd Collins is to be brought from his Sand Cave prison trembled over the roof of the crawlway at 11 a.m. today. Engineers talked from the shaft to the tunnel. GRAND JURY TIME OF CAMP DE HANFORD, Feb. 14—county grand jury will evidence gathered by its tending to show Camp, wealthy young did not meet an accident in the Kings-co. "windery," but was slain. While officials united declaring that their law of the circumstances sued the death of young Collins them that he murdered they were pared to predict that et al sufficiently tangible are secured to warrants by the grand jury. In all probability jury will be called in Monday, given the fact thered by the investigating clues of the results of trials, both of which show that Camp did not result in death as this reason no one will be permitted thru until all necessary propping and other precautions have been effected. At 3:30 Elmer Turner of Bowling Green came up from the shaft and reported its bottom transformed into a madhouse. Workers had struck mud and they were attempting to wallow their way thru it without the protection of timbering. They felt their goal near. Their eyes reflected the light of frenzy.

Violette said of public speakers, such as Marin, that their "sentimental arguments were more efficacious in private conversations, public speeches on our debt should be restrained." Deputy Martin told the chamber recently that the United States should credit France with lives lost and men wounded in settling the Franco-American debt. "No government will be able to balance the budget until it is relieved of the crushing cost of the public debt," Violette continued. "If the government were a private corporation, it could settle the problem quickly by reducing its capital. But because it is a government such conduct would be a scandalous violations of contract and would be a veritable crime." France will spend eight billion more paper francs in 1925 than it was able to raise through taxes in 1924." Violette proposed a new refunding loan to take care of the international debt. THE SHAFT THRU WHICH-Floyd Collins is to be brought from his Sand Cave prison trembled over the roof of the crawlway at 11 a.m. today. Engineers talked from the shaft to the tunnel. A new estimate of 20 hours was placed on the time necessary to reach Collins. This would bring Collins release at 7 a.m. tour grow. The conference in the proximity of the shaft was carried out under orders after a conference between Gen. H. H. Denhart and H. T. Carmichael, general supervisor of operations. The shaft was approximately 64 feet deep when it was carried out. Those who were in the shaft were Carmichael, Mints Johns, a worker and Albert Marchall. In the cave were Eld Brenner, Cincinnati, Mike Blevins and Simon Johns. The result of the test was given out in an official bulletin issued over the signature of M. E. Posey, state highway engineer, Denhart and Carmichael. The 20-hour estimate hinges on the position of the bluff under which Collins is supposed to be creviced as regards the shaft. It is probable, however, according to those who took part in the test, that only a 15-foot lateral tunnel will be necessary to penetrate to Collins. The material thru which this will be made, Carmichael believes, is soft mud, easily removed. Those in the tunnel said they could not hear any breathing or groans of the prisoner, as reported yesterday. The official bulletin reads: "Workers at eleven o'clock today entered the tunnel and the shaft simultaneously to attempt to determine by a sound test the distance which still separated the driggers from Collins." It is believed by Mr. Carmichael that six feet down and 15 feet laterally the cavern which holds (Continue on Page Six) BANKS TO CLOSER SATURDAY Approximately 125 bi-monthly meetings of the Orange-co Bank at Santa Ana.

GRAND JURY TOLD OF CAMP DEATH HANFORD, Feb. 14 — The county grand jury will be given evidence gathered by investigators tending to show that Lee Camp, wealthy young rancher, did not meet an accidental death in the Kings-co. "windmill" mystery, but was slain. While officials united today in declaring that their investigation of the circumstances surrounding the death of young Camp convinced them that he had been murdered they were not prepared to predict that evidence of a sufficiently tangible nature had been secured to warrant indictments by the grand jury. In all probability the grand jury will be called into session Monday, given the facts as gathered by the investigators, including the results of two autopsies, both of which tended to show that Camp did not come to his death as the result of a fall. The investigation will then be continued in the hopes of securing further evidence which will bring to light the exact manner in which Camp met death and the person or persons responsible. There were indications today that Dr. C. T. Rosson, family physician of the W. Stanton Brown family, will be an important witness before the grand jury. Dr. Rosson signed the death certificate, giving the death cause as "a fractured skull." It did not state, however, that the injury was the result of a fall and today Dr. Rosson was quoted as declaring that he would testify before the grand jury if desired. He declined to state the nature of his testimony, declaring nether side "could place words in his mouth."

Call on Sheriff's Office To Help in Patrolling Anaheim Today Anaheim had a minimum of police protection today following decision of city council at a secret session this morning to fire the entire squad of nine officers who have been most active in enforcement of the liquor laws. The men discharged were Bert Barr, O. B. Baxter, E. T. Nickels, A. A. McCoy, V. E. Hammond, Henry Tipton, A. L. Wells, J. E. Hurley and L. B. Stump. W. B. Moody, chief, and Marcus Andrade were not discharged. L. O. Whalen was deputized immediately. Jack Coombs, deputy sheriff, was also deputized. Tonight James Smith and W. B. Howell, Santa Ana police officers, will be on duty here. The sheriff's office was asked to help protect the city during the day and two deputies were here for a time. The discharged officers last Monday evening addressed a letter to the board, saying that if the policy of impartial law enforcement was to be continued that they desired to retain their positions, otherwise they asked to be relieved by Thursday, Feb. 12. Following the star chamber session this morning, one of several since Monday participated in with leaders of the U.S.A club. Moody was instructed by the board to notify the nine officers that their resignations had been accepted. They immediately turned in their badges. Trustees today declined to give any reason for the dismissals. It was understood to be in line with a policy of distinguishing against klansmen, regardless of efficiency, at the dictation of the U.S.A club. The nine men discharged today have made the best record for law enforcement and police protection of any similar set of peace officers in So Calif., in the opinion of many. Their arbitrary dismissal does not coincide with loud proclamations of burying the hatchet, efficiency and protections against bigotry. Godfrey Stock may not be in the mayor's chair, but he is now running the affairs of the city; it was declared by many today who attended last night's council meeting. Nearly every motion and resolution was introduced by Stock; the other councillmen coinciding unanimously in every single instance.
