HARBOR CONTROL MEASURE ADOPTED SACRAMENTO, April 23.—The San Francisco harbor bill transferring control of the port from the state to the city was finally passed by the lower house today by a vote of 48 to 22. Assemblyman William Hornblower of San Francisco made the initial talk. Reconsideration of the vote by which the Swing Johnson municipal water district bill was defeated yesterday will be taken up by the assembly at 3 p.m. Assemblyman Isaac Jones of Ontario made the motion for reconsideration and by a vote of 39 to 27 the house decided to take the matter up this afternoon. A number of highway bills were passed finally by the senate today. They declare the following roads to be parts of the state highway system: Angeles camp to Calaveras big trees. Lincoln to New Castle in Placer county. Sonoma to Mariposa. Longvale in Mendicino-co. to the Pacific highway. A bill by Assemblyman Hornblower and Burns prohibiting the painting of signs on public highways and providing that the highway commission shall erase all such signs was passed finally in the upper house. Assemblyman R. J. Anderson's measure which will permit the citizens of Redding to work with other residents of that section in that construction of a road from the city to Lassen Park, was among the measures passed finally by the upper house. The following measures were in the hands of the governor today for executive consideration following their final passage in the senate late yesterday: Bill authorizing the sale of lands and buildings of the state teachers college at San Diego and the purchase of a new site and erection of new buildings. Bill appropriating $100,000 for a California state building at the Nevada Transcontinental Highway. Chorus Big Feature in "The Prince of Pilsen" One of the chief elements necessary for the success of an operatic production, besides the principals, is a well drilled and properly balanced chorus. The Orange Co. Choral Union who are presenting "The Prince of Pilsen": an American comic opera, as their last performance of the 1924-25 season with the Community Music and Drama Ass'n., have a chorus of exceptional brilliance. It is regarded as doubtful whether any professional company can boast of a better group either in point or musical ability or appearance. Some of the best known vocalists of Orange Co. appear as members of the chorus of "The Prince of Pilsen." Previous presentations have given ample proof of this assertion and the coming event will prove no exception, the chorus in this instance being pechapa the best ever heard. The plot of the opera is laid in Nice, where a party of American girls have recently arrived on tour. Word is received that a Prince is to visit the hotel, traveling incognito. However, the hotel management, on receipt of the news of the coming of the royal guest, decide there is no money in a prince if no one knows he is there. They plan a great reception and broadcast the news of his expected arrival. In the excitement, Hans Wagner, a Cincinnati brewer, who arrives at about this time is mistaken for the Prince and the fun commences. The role of Hans is in the capable hands of Maurice Phillips, whose ability to carry comedy parts of this kind is well known. From the moment he makes his appearance to the end of the opera, his efforts to explain himself to the various guests, including the real prince who arrives as planned, incognito, are certain to keep the Garry Grooway, well known tenor of Orange, appears as The Prince and carries his role a dashing and convincing manner. The remainder of the cast all well fitted for the portrait... INVENTIONS COMING FASTER THAN EVER NEW YORK, April 23.—The march of invention is faster in our day than ever before.” President Coolidge told an audience of editors and publishers at the Priars club. The president as then at the White House, but his voice and the picturization of the delivery of the speech were successfully presented to his audience by the “Phonofilm.” A motion picture of Mr. Coolidge in the act of delivering the speech was recorded with the words on one film at the south portexco of the White House a week ago. In its presentation yesterday the illusion was so accurate the audience unconsciously applauded as the presideat spoke. A Class Ad will bring you results. WHEELER GIVEN SENTENCE FRIDAY Five years’ imprisonment and $5,000 fine are the maximum penalties that can be inflicted on Charles R. Wheeler, former registry clerk, when he is sentenced on Friday by Federal Judge James of the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, according to Sec. 1595 of the Postal Laws and Regulations, covering the offense with which he is charged. Receiving stolen government property was the charge, and the currency of the local banks while in transit was government property, according to William P. Webb, Jr., Anahelm attorney. The section in question says: “Sec. 1595. Whoever shall receive, conceal, or aid in concealing, or shall have or retain in his possession with intent to convert to his own use or gain any money, property, record, voucher, or valuable thing whatever, of the money, goods, chattles, records, or property of the United States, which has heretofore been embezzled, stolen, or purloined by any other person, knowing the same to have been so embezzled, stolen or purloined, shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both; and such person may be tried either before or after the conviction of the principal offender.” While much evidence came out at the recent trial which tended to show that Wheeler was equally guilty with J. R. Abernathy in the robbery itself, he was acquitted at the former trial of robbery and charged only with receiving stolen government property. Wheeler’s share of the stolen money was between $7350 and money was between $7350 and MAKE ‘LAST DITCH’ EFFORT FOR REID SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.—Cincinnati brewer, who arrives at about this time is mistaken for the Prince and the fun commences.

EXPLANATION OF SPEECH WANTED (Continued From Page One) It is pointed out that the government obviously has more prizers already than it can care for but Sofia dispatches report arrests of suspects continuing. The Zankoff government is attempting to round up all its enemies, as well as to capture those suspected of participation in the cathedral bomb outrage. Several new bombing attacks by peasants in the Varna district are reported today. The British investigators, William McKinder and Colonel Malone arrived at Vienna at 6 a.m. today and were met by the United Press correspondent. They confirmed the fact that even the worst stories of the "white terror and atrocities in Bulgaria which have leaked through the censorship are true in practically every detail. Basing their statement upon their own observations, which were made as the result of a special visit to Sofia accompanied by Coh Josiar Wedgewood M.P., the Britishers said conditions in Bulgaria approximate medieval inquisitions. They interviewed practically everyone of prominence in Sofia but were refused permission to see the leaders of the opposition who were in prison. In a two-hour interview which they were granted by Secretary of State Kalkoff, the latter insisted the government believes the whole insurrection was engineered in Serbia, "with the knowledge and consent and probable instigation of the Jugo-Slav government." Kalkoff pointed out that emigrants of the Stamboulisky regime had chosen to remain in Jugo-Slavia, despite three annexes offered them. The military are in charge of Sofia, Secretary Kalkoff was overruled by the troops when he attempted to grant the visitors permission to enter the prisons.

Chichester) (Foreign Minister of Hole Copyright, 1925, by Unit) MOSCOW, April 23.-Ed Press asks me for a statement regarding the declaration Bulgarian premier, Zankov the explosion at the Sofia can be ascribed to the work of the Soviet governer. This impudent jie of a tuter who has seized power the help of a negligible host conspirators and who how means of uninterrupted masters, tortures and other violence, does not surprise When the regime of horrors weighs over the whole leads to such clear expression of explosion, it illuminates whole world the complete city of the regime of intrusive military terror and that the adventurer, who lives free day by violence and lies necessary to put an imageternal reason for the hatred and to invent a culprit.

Kalkoff pointed out that emigres of the Stamboulisky regime had chosen to remain in Jugo-Slavia, despite three auxiliary offered them. The military are in charge of Sofia, Secretary Kalkoff was overruled by the troops when he attempted to grant the visitors permission to enter the prisons. Standing outside the "bureau of public safety," the Britishers saw within five minutes at least 40 men and women prisoners brought in some in auto trucks, others afoot. Soldiers escorting the squads of civilian prisoners were armed to the teeth and held drawn automatics. The visitors saw men hurried out or the building and whisked away, presumably to be executed. One of these condemned men was conveyed in an autoh, the license plate of which was covered with a cloth, to prevent retaliatory assassinations. Two civilians held revolvers to the sides of the prisoner. The latter was forced to keep his hands concealed. "We were curious as to why this was done," McKinder said, "and questioned a bystander. We learned that the condemned man's finger nails probably had torn off during the third degree torture. The government did not wish the populace to see this condition." "We are definitely of the opinion." McKinder continued, "that Bulgaria's troubles are due to suppression of the freedom of the press and the outlawing of all decent parliamentary opposition." "A distinguished foreigner explained to us that life was cheap in a Balkan street where an assassination excites less attention than an ordinary street accident in New York or London." We were reliably informed that there have been executions almost daily since Stamboulisky was overthrown. Also, there have been horrible deaths in the third degree. For example, the wife of a man who was arrested in April was assured by the government that her husband was safe. His body, however, was found in the street; ears and nose cut off and with the finger nails pulled out. He had no trial. The townpeople told us that every night recently truck loads of prisoners were carried to lonely spots outside the city and shot."

Thousands of tired, nervous, run­down women who must daily perform exhausting housework and care for children, would be astonished to learn that in most instances their fatigue, hoodaches, nervouses and haggard appearance are now entirely unnecessary. For physicians say that in an enormous number of cases these symptoms are due merely to the lack of sufficient iron in the blood. And now that Science has perfected a new combination of iron, like the iron in the blood, it is, in many cases, easily possible for people to increase their strength, nerve force and endurance in only two weeks time. Any doctor will tell you that without sufficient organic iron, your blood loses its power to change food into firm, healthy flesh and tissue. So nothing you eat does you the proper amount of good. You become undernourished, weak, nervous, and lacking in physical force and endurance. What you need then, is organic iron—Nuxated iron—to enrich your blood and give you strength. For Nuxated iron is organic iron like the iron to your blood. If I wear wrist and woven notice the astonishing improvement, Money back if not deflated. But be sure you get genuine Nuxated iron, with the letters Ni on every tablet. This is the only kind sold under this absolute money-back guarantee. At all good druggists. (Advertisement.) SOVIET MINISTER GIVES STATEMENT (By Geo. R. Chicherin) (Foreign Minister of Russia) Copyright, 1925, by United Press MOSCOW, April 23—The United Press asks me for a statement regarding the declaration of the Bulgarian premier, Zankoff, that the explosion at the Sofia cathedral can be ascribed to the handwork of the Soviet government. This impudent jie of an adventurer who has seized power with the help of a negligible handful of conspirators and who holds it by means of uninterrupted mass murders, tortures and other acts of violence, does not surprise me. When the regime of horrors that weighs over the whole country leads to such clear expressions of popular desperation as the Sofia explosion, it illuminates for the whole world the complete incapacity of the regime of intolerable military terror and that the ruling adventurer, who lives from day to day by violence and lies, finds it necessary to put an imaginary external reason for the happenings and to invent a culprit. In whatever part of the world the masses show their dissatisfaction, it is represented by the opponents of the Soviet government as its handiwork, and if there is an uprising anywhere the opponents of the Soviet union never cherish any doubt that it is the Soviet Union which is responsible for the uprising. Examples of this are too fresh to be worth mentioning. The manufacturer of forged documents for the purpose of discrediting the Soviet government has become a customary maneuver of the Bourgeois governments and should Zankoff in his slanderous outbursts against the Soviet Union refer to imaginary documents in his possession these should be counted in advance in the category of forgery. After the fact was exposed some time ago that the opponents of the government had ordered in one of the Berlin print shops blanks with illiterate reading of a OAKS DIVORCED LOS ANGELES, April 23—Louis D. Oaks, former police chief of Los Angeles, was divorced to day in Judge J. Walter Handy's court. Besides a decree, the court awarded Mrs. Josie M. Oaks, a house and lot and $2500 of the former police chief's money. Oaks failed to appear in court, having left Los Angeles shortly after his wife filed suit. Mrs. Oaks charged desertion. She also named Catherine Uribe, Oaks' former secretary, as co-respondent. BOY WOUNDED IN HI SCHOOL PLAY WAYNE, Okla., April 23—The dramatic climax in last night's rehearsal of a high school play here had been reached. The villain rushed from the wings and fired a revolver at Thomas Leslie, 18, leading man "I'm shot," cried Leslie, as he slumped to the floor. His classmates, sitting as the audience, broke into applause at the realistic acting of the youth. The applause was hushed suddenly as blood trickled from Leslie's side. The youth was rushed to a hospital where his condition was critical today. In some manner the revolver had been loaded with a real cartridge instead of a blank. HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS The Coving Hi school girls' played the Anaheim Hi girls here Friday evening, will play them here next Tuesday evening instead. A. E. Sutherland, assistant coach, said today.

The game couldn't be played yesterday because of the storm. RANCHER STOPS FIRE DISTRICT S. W. McCulloch, prominent Placentia rancher, who asked a restraining order preventing formation of a fire prevention district there and enjoining the county from collecting taxes for that purpose, is successful in his action. This was given definite assurance when supervisors, in resolutions authorized Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson to stipulate that McCulloch may take the judgment prayed for. A second resolution authorized the county treasurer to pay back all taxes collected from persons in the district. Action of the supervisors was taken after they were advised by Nelson, representing the county, that the proceedings taken to form the district were invalid. McCulloch declared he would be a heavy loser were he required to pay taxes levied on his land when the city of Placentia itself would benefit most by the presence of a fire department. It was understood new steps would be taken to secure fire protection for Placentia. ORDER DISSOLVED WASHINGTON, April 23—Justice Hitz of the D. of C. Supreme Court today dissolved the temporary restraining order issued April 3 on request of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. to halt the shipping board's sale of five government vessels to the Dollar lines. Counsel for the Pacific Mall are understood to be preparing an appeal of Hitz' dismissal of their petition for a permanent injunction on April 10. were present as guests of the Legion. Speakers included Commander Tantlinger of the Santa Ana Camp of the Spanish War Veterans, and Major Lee of Brea, Americanization chairman. The manufacturer of forged documents for the purpose of diserting the Soviet government has become a customary maneuver of the Bourgeoisie governments and should Zankoff in his slanderous outbursts against the Soviet Union refer to imaginary documents in his possession these should be counted in advance in the category of forgeries. After the fact was exposed some time ago that the opponents of the government had ordered in one of the Berlin print shops blanks with illiterate reading of a non-existent department of the Communist (red) internationale and after the Bulgarian government had published the imaginary documents of the communist internationale printed on just such blanks, Zankoff's activity as a forcer is exposed before everyone. The real worth of Zankoff's accusations should be clear to every impartial man. I state most definitively and categorically that all efforts to connect the Sofia government are from the beginning to end invention and a shameless sale, and that there is no connection whatever between the Soviet government and the Sofia explosion.
