KANSAS FARM GIRL PRINCESS IN COURT
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 18.—Counsel for Princess Cheveklar, in her action for divorce, told the court that the yachting trip which her husband made with the former Sidl Wirt Spreeckels of San Francisco was "premeditated and arranged by correspondence."
When Princess Cheveklar met the couple at the dock on their return it was a great surprise to them, counsel said.
The judge asked for proof of counsel's assertion. The attorney for the defense denied the yachting trip was a romantic episode. A third party accompanied the couple, he declared. Counsel for Princess Cheveklar than brought forward evidence which he said would prove there had been "misconduct without love."
The court ordered counsel for Princess Suad Chakir, which is the title of the former Mrs. Spreckels.
MANY THRILLS IN "PERILS OF PARIS"
An actress from America, who was ambitious to use famous old French castles and well known spots in Paris as backgrounds for a new starring vehicle, succeeded in giving so many thrills to the citizens of Paris that she became the toast of the boulevards in a short weeks. Pearl White was the actress, and although Hollywood and New York have seen her swinging in midair from telegraph wires and skyscrapers so often that it is no longer a sight to cause comment. Her wild rides in racing autos and long drops from windows to horses' backs made Paris sit up and take wide-eyed notice.
Now everything that Pearl White does is front page copy in the Paris dailies and American picture audiences are awaiting the appearance of her new production, "Perils of Paris," with unusual interest in order to see just what new stunts our pretty dare-devil Pearl invented to cause such a stir in Parce, and the patrons of the United theatre will be given the opportunity of seeing this great picture Thursday night.
POLICE INFORMER BADLY WOUNDED
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 18—J. A. Fagerle, police informer, better known as "Handsome Hans," lies critically wounded at St. Vincent's hospital here today as a result of gunshot wounds received when he attempted to arrest Lillian Poley and Dan Reardon, alleged bootleggers.
W. G. Smith, taxi driver, alleged consort of the woman, is said by police to have done the shooting. All three were booked up and will be charged with first degree murder in case Fagerle dies, police said.
Fagerle was shot when he went to the Arcade hotel with a squad of police to make a purchase of liquor from Reardon and the woman. Police waited at the foot of the stairs while Fagerle went upstairs. He made a purchase, then placed them under arrest. The woman screamed and Smith, in an adjoining room, ran out and opened fire. Fagerle falling with a bullet in his left lung. Police hurried up the stairs and arrested the trio. Fagerle is not expected to live.
ARMS CONFERENCE NOT MENTIONED
TOKYO, Feb. 18.—The U. S. embassy and the Japanese foreign officers both denied this afternoon a story printed in the Japanese newspaper Kokumin that American Ambassador Bancroft had conferred with Foreign Minister Shidehara informing him that President Coolidge intended to summon an arms parley and sounding out Japan's attitude.
"I talked with Foreign Minister Shidehara on routine matters, and the arms conference was not mentioned," Ambassador Bancroft told International News Service.
Japanese officialdom is most reticent in discussing Japan's attitude toward such a conference. The foreign office declared that the matter has not yet been discussed by the cabinet and no policy has been fixed.
It was pointed out that statements such as that of Admiral Takarabe are merely personal views.
The most reliable information, however, indicated Japan is willing to participate in another arms conference but favors a preliminary conference to outline its agenda. It is understood that naval office experts have drafted a program for presentation to the conference if it is convented.
PREFERS HUNTING TO TRAINING CAMP
RENO, Nev., 18.—His love for hunting rather than preliminary training at Hot Springs is believed here to be back of Walter Johnson's "holdout" rather than a hitch over terms.
Johnson denied today that he was holding out and declared he would sign with the Washington Senators within the next three days.
Asked if his decision was definite, he replied that "he expected to sign up" and would leave either late this week or on March 1 for training camp.
The pitching ace denied he had negotiations on foot for the purchase of any club. He has been spending the winter on hunting trips in the surrounding mountains and friends say he believes outdoor sports a better conditioner than training camp just now.

THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF.
DRAWS "CHOLER LINE" ON GIBBONS
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Harry Wills drew the "choler line" on Tom Gibbons today after indulging himself in the annual formality of posting his $2,500 check with the state athletic commission to bind another challenge to Jack Dempsey. Harry made no secret of his attitude toward white heir apparent to the heavyweight crown. To him, Thomas is out like a broken window and Mr. T. Rickard can bundle up his idealistic plans for a Gibbons-Wills bout and take a running jump in the nearby lake.
"Why should I meet Gibbons?" Wills asked. "He had his shot at Dempsey and could not win. I don't see why I should be going around meeting the losers. I took on Firpo and beat him easily. All I got out of it was a lot of abuse. Now, they want me to meet Gibbons in order to qualify for a match with Dempsey. If I haven't qualified already, I'd like to know who has."
A few claim that Wills is nearer his title shot than ever before. How near that may be is a matter for careful estimate by a Lick telescope. Yet those who make this statement are of what might be termed the outer inner circle of boxing politics. In other words, just close enough possibly to have heard a faint echo of official sentiment toward the project. They claim that the state athletic commission is favorably disposed toward the proposition, in spite of Chairman Brower's guarded repry to Mullins yesterday that the board would "take the challenge under consideration," meaning nothing.
Ottensibly Wills' objection to a Gibbons meeting will throw Richard and his announced plans for the outdoor season for a ten yard race.
STOCK PRICES HIGHER TODAY
NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—With few exceptions prices were higher in the stock market today. Bullish factors held away in the speculative district additional short covering was necessary in pivotal stocks and bullish leaders were more aggressive than they have been for the last few days.
After the industrial stocks, under the leadership of U. S. Steel, Baldwin, American Can and the independent oil shares, had been used to good-advantage in subduing the bears, the railroad shares were again pushed to the front and a lovely forward movement in active rails gave zest to the movement.
Buying or railroad shares was based on the extremely favorable record of January and February freight movements, higher anticipated net earnings statement for February and the growing prospect of a definite halt in unfavorable railroad legislation. New Haven advance to a new high above 33.
Oil stocks made a good attempt in the early trading to reflect the many favorable developments in the industry in the last few days but the traders were not inclined to follow them very far.
Mid-week steel summaries were not as enthusiastic in the last few weeks. Little buying and the need of new orders is the story in a nut shell. But steel stocks were strong.
Bears staged a drive on American Woolen, which declined three points to a new low for the year at 49 but recovered nearly two points.
Shipping and sugar stocks sold Higher.

In reality, it will interfere with them hardly at all. Rickard's real interest lies in another meeting between Gibbons and Dempsey with Wills merely forming an excellent and liberal smoke screen in the background.
DENIES DEMPSEY
GIBBONS MATCHED
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18.—Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, denied reports today that Tommy Gibbons and the heavy-weight champion had been matched to fight in California in May or June.

THIRD OF OFFICE BLDG. IS LEASED
Approximately 33 per cent of the new American National Bank building's offices have been leased and many others have been spoken for, according to M. Eugene Durfee, the architect, who is in charge of the leasing for Sam Kraemer, the owner.
Physicians and dentists have been particularly interested in Anaheim's first skyscraper, at Claudina and Center-st., because of the special arrangements made for their accommodations.
The entire fifth floor has been fitted up with laboratories and practice rooms, making it a simple matter for the tenant to begin professional work.
But the fifth floor is by no means the only one, according to Durfee, where physicians have taken offices.
Real estate men, attorneys and insurance representatives also have displayed a keen interest in the accommodations and service offered.
The First National Bank will not move into its new quarters on the ground floor of the building before April 1, because of the fact that the contractors for the facilities, Sweetser & Baldwin, will require several weeks to put on the vaults and erect the partition.

One of the most unusual situations ever used in a photoplay marks "Husbands and Lovers," a First National picture directed by John M. Stahl, which is at the California for today and Thursday, Lewy S. Stone, Florence Vidor and Lew Cody are the players who take part in the scene.
The setting is that of a country estate at night. The mansion is brilliantly lighted and from within come continuous strains of music, intermingled with laughter. Suddenly a young and beautiful woman, garbed in the costume of a bride, appears on a balcony and looks up at the sky. Within a short time she will be going through a marriage ceremony, but there is no happiness in her expression. Just as she is wiping away a tear she sees the form of a man on the lawn below.
"Jim," she cries in amazement.
"Grace," replies the man, brokenly.
"Do you really love Ray?" "No," came the emphatic reply.
"Please take me away, Jim."
And thus it came about--that while the groom waited expectantly for his bride to appear, she was eloping with her former husband.
A Lige Conley Comedy, "Pig Skin," a late issue of the International News and Geo. E. Turner at the console of the Giant Wurlitzer organ completes a wonderful program.

THRONGS ATTEND
DE YOUNG FUNERAL
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.—Throngs from all walks of life gathered today in St. Mary's cathedral to pay their last tribute to the memory of Michael H. De Young, veteran San Francisco publisher, who died here last Sunday night.
Carrying out the expressed wish of Mr. De Young, extreme simplicity marked the funeral services. The Rev. Father Chas. A. Ramm celebrated low mass while the Most Rev. Edward J. Hanna, archbishop of San Francisco, resisted the blessings of the dead.
Later the funeral cortege proceeded to Holy Cross) cemetery, where, in the presence of only his immediate family, the remains of Mr. De Young were laid to rest.
THREE ASSASSINATIONS
LONDON, Feb. 18.—Three assassinations and what was construed in diplomatic circles as indicative of guerilla warfare between Communists and Fascists in Bufgaria, were revealed in dispatches today from Soffa.
The communist deputy, Todor Strashimiroff, was assassinated. He is a brother of the famous dramatist. The murder was laid to Fancists.
The other men assassinated were the chief of police of Philopolis and his companion. These deaths were said to be due to communists.

rate a new two days vaudeville policy. By boking the road shows in Anaheim for two days instead of one it enables the management to procure bigger and better acts than have ever appeared here, as many of the big time acts cannot play a one day booking owing to the large amount of special scenery that they have to carry.
The show for this week is a knockout. There is plenty of comedy with the four kings of comedy, "The Orpheus Comedy Four" as the headliners. The Debourg Sisters another big headline act present "Those Funny French Tricksters," an illusion offering that has mystified thousands all over the world.
Betty Compson in "The Garden of Weeds" is the feature photoplay for Friday and Saturday and is the latest film triumph that James Cruze, director of "The Covered Wagon" has produced. A Christie Comedy, "Safe and Sane," and an Aesop Pable complete the program.
LOOK PLEASANT
In further preparation for the high school annual several school clubs today had their pictures taken.
Those included, according to Bert Steelhead, instructor in journalism were the Monday club, two self-government committees, art club, dramatic-music club, Hi-Y club, girl's reserve, two girl's clubs, and the violin and piano students of the department of music.
The faculty will hold their next frolics on Feb. 25. The arrangements still are under way.
