Suddenly Heart Failure CLAIM RACE FOR NAVAL New Owners Have Plants In Many Other Cities of South Calif. Theodore Brothers announced this morning the purchase of the Anaheim Laundry by the Southern Service Co. The sale was completed Saturday and Southern Service Co. officials took charge today. G. M. Theodore, Nicolas Theodore, and George Theodore, sole owners and managers of the Anaheim Laundry Co., for more than 13 years have sold their plant. Theodore Bros. bought Dec. 2, 1912, what was then called the Anaheim Steam Laundry from J. E. Fisher. Mr. Fisher had bought this plant the previous year from Heineman Bros. Theodore Bros. from the beginning endeavored to turn out the highest quality of work, and serve the people the best they knew how. In 1912 the Anaheim Steam Laundry occupied the old plant at 408 S. Lemon st., which is 30 by 60 feet. Almost immediately plans were made for more room. As the business improved, the plant was enlarged until it occupied all of the lot which is 40 x 140 feet. In 1921, Theodore Brothers saw that Anaheim was going straight ahead and decided to put up the best plant that could be had. Hard work and planning were able to accomplish and equip one of the best laundries in the state, the present Anaheim Laundry Co., which occupies approximately 20,000 square feet, including the old plant, which is used for power plant, water, storage, wet wash department and garage. The Anaheim Laundry has built a reputation through-out the county thru its policies of turning out only first class work. These same policies will be carried on under the Southern Service Co. manageemnt. J. A. Landale, who has been manager of the Nu-Way Laundry at Orange operated by the Southern Service Co., will be manager of the Anaheim Laundry. He announced this morning that he was pleased with the prospects for the future, that all employees of the Anaheim laundry would be retained, and business would be conducted in the same manner. All employees will be residents of Anaheim. The Theodore Brothers all intend to remain in Anaheim and will continue their connections with Anaheim Laundry for the present, but have no definite plans for the future, as yet. CLAIM RACE FOR NAVAL SUPREMACY LONDON, Feb. 16—Naval supremacy holds the foremost place in the British mind today because of the forthcoming naval budget. One faction wants an increased appropriation to build cruisers; another wants tax reduction and a pared naval expense bill. A new race for naval supremacy is under way, according to the Express, which says that the five signatory powers at Washington have 289 warships, building and projected, compared with 226 ships building and projected in 1914. France is considering the construction of two 17,500 battle cruisers, a move she max make under the Washington treaty, which permits her 35,000 tons of new major ships up to 1927, the Express said. If France builds these ships, the newspaper continues, other nations will be forced to compete. Considerable prominence has been given to Captain Zerb's suggestion in the Parisian press that France prepare to enforce a submarine blockade against England in the event of war. The other side of the picture is presented by former Commander Kenworthy, member of parliament, who says: "Our strength is so overwhelming against any possible enemy, we can afford to go slowly in construction." Kenworthy says Japan can't build up to the Washington treaty limits because of her huge earthquake bill, and says the United States is unlikely to quarrel with "her best paymaster." He says furthermore that the navy is no longer the first line of defense. “If there should be war with Japan, which is improbable,” he for a loss of heaviest reaction ever sustained by these bonds in a single session. The old 8 per cent dropped nearly 2 points to 102 1-4 and the old 7 1-2s were down nearly a point to 99 1-4. T.

There are 400 or 500 stockholders of the So. Service Co. living in every city in which one of its laundries is operated.

He says furthermore that the navy is no longer the first line of defense. If there should be war with Japan, which is improbable," he says, "the United States would come to England's aid, but the real and constant menace is from our good friend, France, who has the strongest air force in the world." No matter how much faith we have in the League of Nations, as long as the heart of our empire is open to a sudden and terrible air attack, our position is insecure."

NO DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE HELD PARIS, Feb. 16.-The foreign office announced this evening that the disarmament conference that has met in June after ratified. Break Thru Into Cave Where Explorer Was Caught 17 Days SAND CAE, Key., Feb. 16.-At 2:45 o'clock this afternoon, after 17 days of grueling effort, Floyd Collins, prisoner in the cave, was found dead. There was no formal medical finding an hour after the body was reached, but Adjit Gen. Jas A. Kehoe declared Collins was dead on the basis of decomposition odors in the passage. The electric light which was thought to have conveyed the message of life thru the radio microphone was found on the prisoner's chest, extinguished. The unofficial report of the doctors, after hearing this, was that Collins died of exhaustion and exposure. Previous to Kehoe's statement, two doctors attempted to pass through the narrow manhole, giving entrance to the original crawlway through which Collins had entered his prison, and found themselves unable to enter. They questioned Ed Brenner, a workman of Cincinnati, who had passed thru, however, and on the basis of his statement declared unofficially that Collins "probably was dead." There was no intimation as to how long he had been dead. Brenner reported to Dr. E. C. Francis that he discovered no trace of respiration and that the victim's jaw was protruding. Brenner reported that the earth and debris had fallen in on Collins, covering all but his head. His eyes were sunken. Brenner said, and there was a small red mark on his right cheek, probably made by a falling rock. There were no marks or wounds on the scalp, Brenner said. Carmichael left the shaft, leaving all others at the bottom and called a conference of Brig. Gen. Denhardt, M. E. S. Posey and Dr. W. D. Funkherr. "From the information at hand it will be several hours before a doctor or anyone else can safely reach Collins. Unless it develops that a way can be found to drive a drift which will retch Collins feet it will probably be 36 hours before the body can be brought to the surface." "The articles and their positions were positively identified. Meanwhile Albert Marshall, showing the same splendid courage so manifest thru the shaft work without thought of personal danger, propped the loosely hanging dangerous boulders boulders and let himself down into the pit, feet foremost, the opening being too small on account of his large stature for him to go head first." NO DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE HELD PARIS, Feb. 16.—The foreign office announced this evening that the disarmament conference that was to have met in June after ratification of the Geneva protocol, had been abandoned absolutely. A spokesman for the office indicated that there was no possibility now of Great Britain working out a combined policy with its dominions before the League Assembly meeting in September. $8000 PEARL LOST PARIS, Feb. 16.—Princess Vlora's search, with police aid, for the black pearl set which she lost from a ring while in the "Abbey de Thelemo with Georges Carpentier last night," is stimulated by the gem's sentimental, rather than intrinsic value, she told International News Service today. She said the jewel was worth about 150,000 francs or about $8000. "I didn't lost a necklace as was first reported," she said. "Only the black pearl. It fell out of my ring, precluding the possibility of theft." The Princess Vlora was Miss Helen M. Kelly before her marriage to Frank Gould. She divorced him and married Ralph H. Thomas and after Thomas' death became the wife of Prince Houroddin Vlora, one of the claimants to the Albanian throne. She divorced the prince in Mazch, 1921. WEBB ON JOB AGAIN Atty. Wm. P.

Meanwhile Albert Marshall, showing the same splendid courage so manifest thru the shaft work without thought of personal danger, propped the loosely hanging dangerous boulders boulders and let himself down into the pit, feet foremost, the opening be too small on account of his large stature for him to go head first. "He touched with his feet what he thought to be the blanket wrapped around Collins. Immediately after this, his game little partner, Ed Brunner, of Cincinnati, whose work has been conspicuous by reason of his courage, small stature and nerve, went down head foremost into the pit with a light and closely examined face, and the position of the man we understand is Collins and called up to Carmichael, five feet above him that the man was cold and apparently dead." At 3:30 o'clock Dr. Wm. Halett and Dr. C. E. Francis entered the original passage thru the crawlway. The announcement of the finding of the body was made by Gen. H. Denhardt, M.E. S. Possey, Dr. William Funkhouser and H. T. Carmichael. At 2:50 o'clock no doctor had entered the shaft but the official medical commission, including Maj. E. C. Francis of Bowling Green, Maj. H. H. Moss and Dr. William Hazlett of Chicago, were standing to be lowered. Carmichael said the find came, he understood, when a workman, digging thru flint-like limestone with a handplick, unexpectedly broke thru into an opening, walked on a few feet and came to Collins. The discovery came as a complete surprise at a time when it was expected several hours would be required to dig thru what had been estimated to be a five-foot limestone lodge. Carmichael, when word that the goal of 17 days had been reached, went alone in the shaft and came out to make this report: "We have found Collins and Carmichael examination (based on Page Two) City for orange trees, 204 Park Avenue 371-M—Adv."

More Drunks on Streets Saturday Night Than In Entire Year Loot valued at more than $500 was taken in a crime wave which swept over Anaheim Satur night following the disch or Anaheim's entire law enforcement police squad. Valuables approximating $212 were taken from the home of W. S. Wadsworth, 543 So. Helena-st, and loot mounting into the hundreds of dollars from the home of S. E. Prince, 735 No. Zeyn-st. A burglar attempted to enter the home of J. B. Coykendall, 822 So. Los Angeles-st, Sunday night about 9 o'clock by cutting the screen on the back bedroom window, but were driven away by members of the family. The man was described as young, and neatly dressed, of medium height and build, and wore dark clothing. The Prince home was burglarized about 9:30 Saturday night, and the Wadsworth home between 6 and 8 o'clock. These were reported to police. How many smaller burglaries there might have been is not known. More "drunks" were seen on the streets of Anaheim Saturday night than in an entire year, businessmen said today. The "big parade" started a little before four o'clock when an "old soak" passed along Center-st reeling from buildings to curb. There was not a "cop" in sight. And it was not long until it is said to have become a familiar scene. Law enforcement advocates claim that during the evening no less than $1 "drunks" were counted in Anaheim's business district. Only two arrests were made, and these were colliere students, scarcely of age. Articles taken in the Wadsworth burglary were reported as follows: One ladies' gold watch, Elgin, closed case, engraved "M. E.

H. Y. I. D. W. 1909," $10; perfume atomizer, yellow and black, full of perfume; $15; and a pair of black silk hose; $2.50. Articles taken from the Prince home were reported as follows: One came brooch, two strings of church work, was given to the secretary of the board Saturday evening. It requests that action be taken within two days. While petitioners have no great hopes of relief from what they declare to be an intolerable condition in the church, from the official board, which was appointed by Gelsinger, this preliminary step was necessary before similar petitions, already signed, are next presented to the district superintendent and then, if necessary to the bishop. The matter has been brewing for many months since Gelsinger insisted on returning to Anahiem for another year after a petition protesting against his return, signed by more than 50 members, was presented to the conference last September. It is very unusual for a minister to desire to return to a charge when so many members of the church are opposed to him. Now that the election is over and it cannot be interpreted as a political move, the membership is insistent that a change be made so they can again worship at their church. A meeting of the church membership will be held this evening at the home of Elm Hatcher, $24 South Philadelphia-st. The petition follows: "To the Official Board of the Methodist White Temple: 'Whereas, we, the undersigned members of the Methodist White Temple of Anahiem, Calif., can no longer enjoy worshipping with J. A. Gelsinger as our pastor, because we and many others have lost faith in him as a Christian man, 'Whereas, our church is dearer to us than any individual. 'Be it therefore resolved that we demand that the official board within two days after presentation of this resolution take action for the immediate removal of J. A. Gelsinger as pastor of the Methodist White Temple, and 'Be it further resolved that a new pastor be obtained as soon as possible and the official board be reorganized so as to be responsive to the wishes of the congregation."

The lectures will be presented to classes to be formed largely from those who have been attending the other series at the big tent, at Claudina and Wilhelmina-sts. A five-dollar set of books will be given to those members who attend all of the lectures. The titles of these books are: "Concentration," "Imagination," "Incollect," "Reason," and "Will." These books Dr. James J. Gordon of the First Congregational Church of San Francisco calls the most practical on applied psychology ever put out. Thayer has received more than 40,000 letters from people in all parts of the country, thanking him for saving their lives and putting them on the right track to health, happiness and prosperity.
