BELIEVED ANGELENO
COMMITTED SUICIDE
Body of John Chanslor, Retired Mer-
chant, Found Floating in Water
of Waikiki Beach,
Honolulu

Whether John Chanslor, the retired
Los Angeles merchant who was
drowned Saturday at Waikiki beach,
Honolulu, was the victim of an accl-
dent or whether he committed suicide
is question that the authorities oi
Honolulu are unable to determine.
Chanslor's body was found floating
in the water off Waikiki pier early
Saturday morning by a party of ma
tives who were canoeing.
Chanslor left Los Angeles about two
weeks ago, in company with his SON.
Joseph Chanslor, president of the AS
sociated Oil companies, and a partner
of the firm of Garfield & Chanslor,
hardware merchants of Los Angeles
A trained nurse accompanied them
The elder Chanslor had been i'll for
three years, which caused his retire
ment from the well-known grocery
firm of Anderson & Chanslor, and OF
late had been suffering with melan-
cholia.
1t was for this reason that his
physicians advised a trip to Honolulu,
that his shattered physical condition
might be improved by a change OF
climate and scenery. Mr.. Chanslor
was apparently much improved IN
health during his brief journey, and
Saturday morning the nurse left MIN
asleep III IOOll uJ bAO ViO'her aiCSS'i
Waikiki.
While the attendant was absent,
Chanslor awoke, dressed and went out
alone, apparently to stroll along the
pier. A little later his body was
found floating in the water by the
natives. No person was found by the
authorities who had witnessed the
drowning, but owing to Mr.. Chanslor's
periods of melancholia, the belief is
that he planned to end it all and took
advantage of the nurses absence to
kill himself.
Mr.. Chanslor was one of the fore
most figures in the commercial life OF
Los Angeles. coming from Kansas
City, Mo-, about twenty years ago.
He was associated with Mr.. Anderson
in the grocery firm which bears their
names He was 65 years old and active
in his business until i'll health COM
PEELED his retirement three years ago.
He leaves a son, Joseph Chanslor.
The body will be cremated and the
ashes sent to Los Angeles for burial.

FARMERS UNION.
Editor TIE CHRONICLE:

We had splendid meeting at
Cross Roads Friday and Saturday.
OF course there were some rather
unpleasant things which came up
during the executive sessions
some men, good ones, too, are SO
full of energy they are sometimes
not as conservative in thought and
action as they should be; they get
wroughtupin argument, and, must
| say it, speak even rashly and I'M
becoming. But questions arise,
difficulties present themselves and
they must be surmounted, even if
very often it brings with it tinge
of the disagreeable. We must not
forget that often the kicking mule
is a good and useful one, even if at
times he proves to be dangerous.
The first two hours of Friday
afternoons session was secret. G..
B. Greer, M, L. Robinson and 9TH
ers figured effectively and promi-
nently in matters of vital interest
and of Importance to the future
growth and development of our
grand organization.
The remaining portion of the
afternoon session was public, and
the chief attraction was the genial
DR.. j. T. Griffin, editor of our Ma
tional Union Farmer. He made
good speech, and succeeded in con-
vincing us Benton Countians that
we needed a $25 stock in. National
Union Farmer, therefore we tooklt.
At the night session Brother
Vaughan, of the Tri-State Pur-
chasing Agency, spoke to an ap-
preciative and attentive public au-
diepce on the three keys, Honesty,
Industry, and Education, which |
are essential, in the highest and |
truest sense, to the success of the
farmers of our country.
The meeting terminated in
free for all discussion Of the merits
and dement's of fertilizers, soils,
etc., including the instructive and
appropriate remarks of DR.. Griffin,
]. L. Wright, L. W. Pafford and
others. The singing of G. Fl. Pres
son was feature.
During the executive session
Saturday morning important reso-
lutions were introduced by E. Fl.
Dowdy and unanimously adopted.
About IL o'clock the doors were
opened and Mr.. Knox, a railroad
nan, was introduced by l. N.
Bridges. He was good speaker,
md made splendid impression on
I'll who heard him. 1t is indeed
encouraging when we realize that
he railroads are recognizing us to
he extent that they are sending
heir brainy. business representa-
ives to assure us that they are our
friends and are willing to cooper
tie with us in those matters where
hey can be of material assistance
o the farmers.
Now, Mr.. Editor, about the dim
Ter; you just simply ought to have
,een with us. [ am sure that this
eature of the meeting would have
specially appealed to you as it did
o the scores who vainly tried to
finnish the bountiful supply of
'oiled ham, chicken, pies, cakes,
nd other good things.
The next regular meeting will
'e held with Mount Zion local on
Friday and Saturday, July 1924.
