PACIFIC DEFENS DENY FRANCE OFFERED NEW LOAN Direct, Positive Denial Made by Treasury Department WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Cable dispatches from Paris to the effect that France had submitted a proposal for a debt settlement to the American government but Beware of Peddlers! Anaheim and the country surrounding are being favored just now by an unusual number of peddlers. Many of them are selling apples and hams. It is strange how many otherwise sensible people will "fall for" this sort of thing. Almost always the peddler's price is higher and quality lower than in the store. A case in point this week is a peddler visiting nearby ranchers with apples, loose pack, at $2.50 per box. The same day better apples, tight packed, were being sold in local groceries at $2 per box. You always run a mighty good chance of being strung when you buy from peddlers. It's naughty good business insurance to confine your purchases to regularly established merchants who can be found tomorrow and next week ready to back up a guarantee as to quality. 1 CRUSHED, INJURED IN CAR WRECK Accident Happens When 15 Workmen Are Behind Hauled Up Incline SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. I W. Davis, workman at the H Hetchey water supply, was stantly killed and six other men were seriously injured nine were badly shaken up w a cable tram car on the stee Direct, Positive Denial Made by Treasury Department WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Cable dispatches from Paris to the effect that France had submitted a proposal for a debt settlement to the American government but that the offer was rejected, were met at the treasury today by the statement that no such proposal had been received by the debt funding commission. A direct and positive denial was made at the treasury this morning of M. Clementel's statement. "The French government has received no promises, official, unofficial or otherwise of an American government loan of any character," it was stated officially. PARIS, Feb. 19.—The United States has unofficially promised to lend France $100,000,000 as soon as the French budget is voted. Finance Minister Clementel told the chamber of deputies today. "I have the unofficial promise of the United States not only for a hundred million dollar loan," said Clemental "but also a separate loan of $25,000,000 for the devastated regions." When the attention of Clementel was called to an official statement of the United States treasury department that the American government was not contemplating further loans to France, Clementel said to International News Service: "By the United States I meant American bankers, not the American government." Continuing his address to the chamber, Clementel said: "The American press wrongly accused me of denying the French debt in my inventory. It was our American friends who first talked of annulling it. "The word 'repudiation' is a Germanic word of propaganda. Jusserand and Mellon in conversation in Washington and Herrick's conversations with me in Paris were merely an unofficial exchange of our respective view." Minister Clementel said the $100,000,000 loan would be floated thru American banks. "I cannot say now which banking group has intimated its willing to take the loan," he said. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Any further loans made to France by the United States will be from private sources in this country and not from government funds, treasury department officials said today in connection with reports from Paris that the French government wished to borrow an ad- MCCOY SAYS MORS WAS MURDERER LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.—A charge was hurled in open court today that Albert A. Mors killed his wife, Mrs. Teresa Mors, instead of "Kid" McCoy, convicted of manslaughter in connection with the woman's death. The charge was made by George Shreve, attorney for McCoy, at his trial on charges of robbery and assault during a shooting rampage by McCoy in the Mors antique shop several hours after Mrs. Mors was shot to death. McCoy's sworn testimony at his trial for murder that Mrs. Mors killed herself in his presence was a delusion of a man mentally unbalanced, the pugilist's lawyers said. "The Kid is goofy," declared Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, as he prepared to testify today for the defense. "He told me not long ago he was going to stage a comeback. That proves he's 'coooo'"— "I will prove that Mors shot his wife," Atty. Shreve shouted and caused a sensation in the crowded court room. The spectators rose to their feet in their excitement, but were quieted quickly by a stern command from Superior Judge Crall. "Furthermore, I will call 50 persons whose testimony will verify my assertion in the court," Shreve added. The charge that Mors killed his wife was made by Shreve shortly after the defense opened its case by calling Dick Ferris, well known "man about town," to the stand Accident Happens When 15 Workmen Are Behind Up Incline SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19. W. Davis, workman at the Hutchey water supply, was stantly killed and six other men were seriously injured nine were badly shaken up with a cable tram car on the steel cline between Mocasin creek erhouse and the Mocasin tunnel broke loose from its and plunged 59 feet to the floor of the incline, according to the received at the city engine office here today.

Davis decided to get off the tram while it was waft at the point where it had just as he was crossing track below the car it succeeds down the hill, thrust him under its wheels and hit him instantly. As the car with 15 other men passed over Davis he jumped the tracks, broken from its grip on the cable led thru the air over rocks and piled up at the end of the hill, a twisted mangleged steel and spilled wood. The 15 occupants car were hurled for yards the point where it struck base of the incline. MORE RAIN SOON BUREAU PREDICTION SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. With rain already reported over So. Cal., the U.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Any further loans made to France by the United States will be from private sources in this country and not from government funds, treasury department officials said today in connection with reports from Paris that the French government wished to borrow an additional $100,000,000. The fact that France already owes the United States $4,000,000,000 and has made no concrete proposals for liquidation of the debt would make it impossible officials said, for the government to make any further advances. The treasury department, however, is expected to give its approval to the flotation of a private French loan in the United States. RESENT-FRENCH FAILURE WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Congressional resentment over France's failure to make any move toward settling hot war debt flared up anew today. A resolution was introduced in the house by Rep. Blanton, Democrat of Texas, which if passed would prohibit transactions by the federal government or banks affiliated with the federal reserve system in securities of such countries as have not settled their war time obligations.

E. K. L. and out in the night air floated the sweet and tender strains of Saint d'Amour from a violin. It was a convict playing to his mother in a far away city, playing the instrument they both loved. Radio fans sat spellbound at the music, for the soul of an artist playing to his mother was in the piece. Since the "radio thriller" thousands of letters have been received at the prison office, at the radio station and at the state house. Today the violinist's identity was revealed. He is Philip Thorp, 32, married, of Fall River, serving a life term for the slaying of a taxicab driver in that city in 1918. Thorp played the same violin in an orchestra in Huntington, L. L. PRES.

They are hopeful, but none too sanguine. The conversations now in progress are but a continuation of the feelers that have been put out with more or less regularity for the last year and a half. Heretofore they have always resulted in failure and neither Pres. Coolidge nor his advisers were prepared to say today that the present negotiations will result in a conference at an early date. Administration officials who are conversant of what is going on in London, Paris, Tokyo and Rome, were inclined today to sound a note of warning against a too optimistic view of the present situation. The same forces which have combined to prevent President Coolidge from issuing invitations for another conference for a year and a half, have still to be overcome in the present negotiations. Those forces are principally France and Japan. Great Britain stands willing to co-operate with the United States in another parley. That was Britain's attitude at the time the feelers were first put out; more on the subject of state aviation in collecting taxes from heirs to star afterwards, the act as she lay in bed in morehey hospital.

The same forces which have combined to prevent President Coolidge from issuing invitations for another conference for a year and a half, have still to be overcome in the present negotiations. Those forces are principally France and Japan. Great Britain stands willing to co-operate with the United States in another parley. That was Britain's attitude at the time the feelers were first put out more than a year ago, and that is her position today. It has not changed. France and Japan have furnished the stumbling blocks — France because she felt another conference at this time might frustrate her plans to improve her military and naval situation on the continent, and Japan because she felt she did not fare well at the Washington conference. It is the view of administration officials that another conference is useless unless it can meet with the assurance of some success in limiting submarines and aircraft, those all-important auxiliary arms that were left untouched by the Washington conference. France has been busily engaged in increasing her force of submarine and aircraft since Washington conference and so has Japan. They have been unwilling to date to engage in a conference that would put a stop to these activities. If France and Japan objections can be overcome, it is President Coolidge's hope to stage another conference in Washington next fall. TOKYO, Feb. 19.—Japan imposes limitations on submarines, destroyers and aircraft but is willing to accept a ratio limiting the gun size and the number of cruisers according to semi-official information obtained by International News Service today in sounding out Japan's attitude toward a new arms conference. It was pointed out by the source of the information that Japan thoroughly sympathizes with the broad principles of disarmament but regards its own position as different from that of other nations.

Miss Swanson-Marchioness De la Fallaise—was operated on early yesterday morning, after being hurriedly removed from the hotel where she had been living in Paris. I am a mother first and a movie star afterwards," the actress said as she lay in bed in the Montmorency hospital. "People are criticizing me, I bear, for letting my kiddies go to America without me," she continued. "Look at this pile of wireless messages which have come to me from my kiddies aboard the France—and they have been gone from me only one day. "It would be the worst blow of my life if I thought that no more children were destined to bless me." While Miss Swanson talked she heard a newborn baby crying down the hall. She summoned the doctor and pleaded with him to bring the baby to her. She took it into the bed and smiled up at her husband, Maruis De la Fallaise who was sealed alongside the bed. "Promise me, doctor," urged Miss Swanson, "that I may have this same baby in to see me every afternoon for an hour while I am here." "Your wish shall be granted, Madame," smiled the physician.

Lineberger, of Long Beach, is definitely in the running for the Republican senatorial nomination in California in 1926, he admitted today. On the heels of word from Sen. Shortridge's office that the junior senator would commence his campaign for re-election this summer, a year in advance of the primaries, came confirmation of persistent reports that Lineberger would be one of those who would oppose him. "Barring unforeseen changes on the political horizon," I plan to seek approval by Californians, particularly those in the Los Angeles basin, of my work during two terms in congress," Lineberger said today. The Long Beach congressman said his friends had been urging him for many months to make the race because of the long felt desire of Californians south of the Tehachapi to have representation in the upper branch of congress. "I will enter the campaign with no personal antagonisms toward Sen. Shortridge or any other candidate and expect to let my record do most of the campaigning," he declared. Lineberger's friends in Washington said today that he would undoubtedly see, an alliance with the Johnson political machine to assure a good fight in northern California, where Shortridge is believed to be strong. Lineberger's tentative entry is regarded today as being the first shot in what should be one of the most exciting political campaign battles in years. Whispers are continually heard that C. C. Teague, wealthy citrus fruit grower, will also announce his candidacy before next fall. Representative Fredericks of CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—The story of how he was persuaded to sign a false affidavit that he had driven Mrs. "Helen Elwood Underwood Stokes" to cabarets and resorts in Chicago with a colored man, and later repudiated that affidavit and was told it had been destroyed, was told from the witness stand today by Joseph Bruner, star witness for the state in the trial of W. E. D. Stokes and three others. Bruner, old time taxicab driver of the Red light district, admitted that he knew the woman was not Mrs. Stokes and that the picture shown here is her swore was Leon Diggs in not of Diggs at all, but of...other man. Those who induced him to sign the false affidavit, he said, were Stokes and Daniel F. Nugent, a lawyer, who also is on trial charged with conspiracy to defame Mrs. Stokes. For affixing his name to the document, Bruner swore, he received $20 and was told that it doesn't amount to anything anyhow and probably never would be used. Two or three weeks later, Bruner said, he had a change of heart and wrote Stokes to ask that the affidavit be sent back. Eventually he said, he did get the picture back from Nugent rubbed off his signature on the back and later gave the picture to the state when he himself was indicted. The picture, Stokes told him, Bruner testified, had come from the album of Mrs. Stokes. Bruner then narrated how he drove Stokes about the city with a camera which he used to take pictures of various resorts, and of efforts which Stokes made to identify wall paper in these places, then closed, with wall paper of who was sealed alongside the bed. "Promise me, doctor," urged Miss Swanson, "that I may have this same baby in to see me every afternoon for an hour while I am here." "Your wish shall be granted. Madame," smiled the physician. Defends Himself Against Attacks by War and Navy Departments WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Japan could capture the Philippines, Hawaii and America's other possessions in two weeks, Brig. Gen. William Mitchell assistant chief of the army air service, declared today before the house aircraft committee. "An air force could reduce our Pacific islands easily and we could not defend them with our present armament," said Mitchell. "You say Japan could take the Philippines and Hawaii and we could not stop it!" bluntly asked Kep. Reid, Republican of Illinois. "Of course," snapped Mitchell. The committee today voted to recall Secretary of War Weeks to explain a war department statement that the army had 1200 effective airplanes. While Gen. Mitchell was occupying the witness stand at the capitol, Pres. Coolidge and Secretary of War Weeks had a conference over this case. The secretary of war avoided newspapermen by going to the mansion instead of the executive offices of the White House. Weeks was summoned to appear before the investigating committee at tomorrow's session. Mitchell described America's Pacific defense as "pitiful." Why? Mitchell added, "conditions are so bad out there that when I was in Hawaii last October and November, I found that the commanding general would not speak to the commanding admiral, and they would not even go to the same social functions together. There is no co-operation at all out there." The general and admiral even have separate and secret plans for taking Honolulu in case of war." How would they take Honolulu?" asked Perkins. Use force," replied Mitchell. You mean the general and admiral would fight each other." The admiral at Pearl Harbor has plans to take Honolulu and the general has plans to take the city away from him if he does." You mean our army would fight our own navy? Yes. In no putlying post has America nearly sufficient aircraft, said Mitchell, saying that an air and submarine force was essential for adequate frontier defense. Are our aviators taking their lives in their own hands every time they go up in the air?" asked Rep. Reid. Republican of Illinois. Yes, in our D. H-type of planes," answered Mitchell. Well I am going to introduce a bill calling upon the government in Washington said today that he would undoubtedly see an alliance with the Johnson political machine to assure a good fight in northern California, where Shortridge is believed to be strong. Lineberger's tentative entry is regarded today as being the first shot in what should be one of the most exciting political campaign battles in years. Whispers are continually being heard that C. C. Teague, wealthy citrus fruit grower, will also announce his candidacy before next fall. Representative Fredericks of Los Angeles is also reported to be debating whether to listen to his friends who would have him in the race. SUSPECT 3 BOYS ROBBED BAKERY The New Anaheim Bakery and Lunch, 130 North Los Angeles-st, was entered last night by three boys about 12 years old. Loot is thought to have been confined to gum and pennies, Hans Larson, owner of the bakery, said today that he had not been able to check up yet, and did not know just how much was missing. An employee saw the boys, but not being able to speak English well did not report the matter to police, waiting until he could locate Mr. Larson, who did report it. By that time the youths were gone. Entry was made thru a rear window by breaking the glass and turning the night lock. MANDATE FAVORED WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The Palestine treaty between the United States and Great Britain for the establishment of a British mandate in Palestine, was favorably reported today by the senate foreign relations committee.

Coontz, holding the highest rank in the American navy, made a short talk today to directors of the Fullerton C., of C., Mayor Perry Mathis of Anaheim and a large delegation of the Anaheim C., of C., were present. Mayor H. H. Crooke, of Fullerton, was also a specially invited guest and a large number of Fullerton citizens also attended. Admiral Coontz is visiting his cousins, Mrs. Bertha M吉尔洛科, Mrs. J. E.

He said that he had looked over what Fullerton has to offer, and that he doesn't need so any further, that it is the ideal spot for the university. J. A. Chitty for orange trees, 204 Bush; phone 671-M—Adv. You mean our army would fight our own navy?" In no outlying post has America nearly sufficient aircraft, said Mitchell, saying that an air and submarine force was essential for adequate frontier defense. "Are our aviators taking their lives, in their own hands every time they go up in the air?" asked Rep. Reid, Republican of Illinois. "Yes, in our D. H.type of planes," answered Mitchell. Well, I am going to introduce a bill calling upon the government to scrap all obsolete planes." Interrupted Reid. "I suggest that all our D.H. planes be condemned and scrapped," said Mitchell. What has become of the $434,-000,000 congress appropriated for aviation? Mostir for upkeep and repair," replied Mitchell. "It costs as much to repair our old planes as it does to buy new ones. It is dangerous to fly the planes we have in service." Mitchell denied that he had been "officially" ordered to the White House or been told he would not be reappointed as Brizadler general. "I see by the paper that you are to be ousted," said Reid. "I don't know anything about it." replied Mitchell. Rep. Reid introduced a resolution giving Mitchell a vote of confidence and expressing the committee's thanks for "his patriotic services in exposing our lack of air defense." "I think we should do that in our report," interjected Rep. Prall of New York. "We all agree on the great service Mitchell has performed, but let us first finish our inquiry." That will be too late," replied Reid. "Mitchell will be out in the sticks then and we can't help him." The committee then voted to table the Reid resolution. "We'll tell you this," hotly protected Reid, "Pres. Coolidge is making a mistake in not keeping Mitchell He has certainly listened to advice. I hate to think wagged in the air service Mitchell gets away." Mitchell charged that land navy had "completed [Continued on Page]..."
