MAN CHARGED WITH CAUSING CAR WRECK IS HELD TO ANSWER George W. Krauss of Fullerton was at liberty today under $500 bail following his preliminary examination yesterday afternoon before Justice J. B. Cox on a felony charge for The district council of oil workers, In a session which began last night and lasted into the morning hours today, issued a recommendation to the strikers that they return to work.

"We have always heeded the slight- MAN CHARGED WITH CAUSING CAR WRECK IS HELD TO ANSWER George W. Krauss of Fullerton was at liberty today under $500 bail following his preliminary examination yesterday afternoon before Justice J. B. Cox on a felony charge for which he was held to answer to the superior court. Krauss is charged with failing to stop and give aid after the machine which he was driving is alleged to have crowded a car driven by Postmaster K. D. Harger of Riverside off the boulevard. The Harger car, which was a Ford sedan, was forced over a four and a half foot embankment into a ditch. Several of the occupants of the car were severely injured and others suffered from minor injuries and the shock. With Harger in the car at the time of the accident were his wife, two other women and a girl. The accident occurred on the Laguna road about three miles toward the beach from Irvine. Krauss is alleged to have endeavored to pass the Harger car and was forced to cut in on account of an approaching stage. In cutting in the Krauss car is said to have hit the running board of the Harger car and then to have struck the hub of the left front wheel causing the Ford to plunge over the embankment. Krauss denied that he knew that he had hit another car at the time, stating that the first he knew of the accident was when he was served with the warrant for his arrest. Krauss was arrested on two charges: One a felony charge accusing him of falling to stop and give aid; the other a misdemeanor complaint charging him with cutting in. Neither Harger nor any occupant of the wrecked car, according to their stories, saw the automobile that struck them and they said that they heard no warning signal. G. E. Farnsworth of Santa Ana, who was following some distance behind, saw the car cut out around the Harger automobile and push it from the road. Farnsworth was one of the first to reach the wrecked car and assisted in taking the occupants out. J. C. King, who also arrived on the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred, rushed on ahead to secure the number of the car which was thought to be responsible for the wreck. Other witnesses who took the stand in the preliminary examination were Mrs. Ora J. Harneas, one of the occupants of the wrecked car, and Mrs. Maria Harger, wife of the driver of the car. KIWANIS CLUB FAVORS PROPOSED BRANCH OF U. P. RAILROAD The regular meeting of the Kiwanis club held at the high school today was largely attended. Henry Adams presided. A considerable amount of business was transacted as well as initiating several new movements of importance. A resolution was passed congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Vinson Ferris upon the arrival of a fine baby girl to bless the Ferris home. A letter was received from the Kiwanis clubs of Iowa asking the cooperation of the Anaheim Kiwanis club in creating a market for Iowa corn products. The club endorsed the request and Dr. J. A. Geissinger, William Wallop and S. S. Conklin were appointed a committee to formulate some plan to make the request of the lowans effective. It was decided that the Kiwanis baseball club would meet the Rotary baseball club next Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock on the high school grounds. This will be a game for blood, since it is to play off a tie game. Dr. Geissinger requested that all Kiwanians assist the churches in entertaining the guests of the Sunday school convention which will be held here next week. The matter of extending the Union Pacific railroad from Whittier to Santa Ana through Anaheim was taken up and a committee consisting of Chas. Eygabroad, Judge J. S. Howard and D. Jessurum was appointed to go before the board of supervisors and present the case of all the growers of this section who seriously need this railroad service.

Delhi Merchant Fined $50 for Beating Wife H. H. Brantigan, who has been in trouble recently in connection with the operation of a soft drink stand at Delhi, was in court again today charged with beating his wife. Mrs. Brantigan was forced to go to the hospital for treatment following the beating at the hands of her husband, officers said. Brantigan was fined $50 by Judge Cox, who asked him if he thought that the beating was worth that much to him. Brantigan seemed worried as to where he could raise the money for the fine. GOV. YBARRA ADMITS MEXICALI EXECUTION CALEXICO, Cal., Nov. 1. At least one of the four soldiers reported executed at the Mexicali garrison within the past few days was shot on direct errors of Governor Ybarra of the northern district of lower California, Yzar admitted to the United Press. "This man was a spy," Ybarra said. "He had enlisted a week previous and had been busy spreading dissention in the ranks. A loyal soldier informed on him. He was shot at davy. CITY’S LARGEST BUILDING PERMIT ISSUED FOR NEW KRAEMER BLOCK The largest building permit ever granted in Anaheim was today taken cut by Contractors Bever and Wilson. This is for the new Kraemer building which it is estimated will cost $154,000. This permit was issued under Anaheim’s new building ordinance which became operative today. By securing the permit under the new ordinance rather than under the old Bever and Wilson have been put to an added expense but in so doing have proclaimed their support of an ordinance which will unquestionably prove of great benefit to Anaheim. The new building ordinance sets a higher standard in construction and will result in the erection of better and safer buildings. In view of the growth Anaheim is now making such Miss Paquette Wants $10,000 as Heartbalm Charging that in May, 1921, W. Lewman asked her to marry him and that she gave him her promise and has remained unmarried since then time, Bertha Paquette today filed sund for breach of promise, asking $10,000 as heart balm. The marriage, according to the complaint filed by Miss Paquette, would have taken place within a reasonable time. This time has passed, according to the plaintiff, who stated that Lewman has declared that he will not marry her. Miss Paquette claims that she ready and willing to marry the defender at any time and has been at all times. Head and Rutan are attorney for the plaintiff. RAILROADS STOP ALL CHARITY RATES FOR CITY AND COUNTY Charity rates on railroads will hereafter be refused city, county and state governments, according to letter received today by County A Commissioner Walter Gregg. This action comes, according to the letter, as a result of the action. MEXICALI EXECUTION CALEXICO, Cal., Nov. 1. At least one of the four soldiers reported executed at the Mexicali garrison within the past few days was shot on direct orders of Governor Ybarra of the northern district of lower California, Yzarra admitted to the United Press "This man was a spy," Yzarra said. "He had enlisted a week previous and had been busy spreading dissension in the ranks. A loyal soldier informed on him. He wasshot at daybreak Thursday." It was learned authoritatively that the soldier executed was an agent of Estoban Cantu. Operations by Cantu propagandists in the ranks of federal troops have strengthened the belief that the Cantu faction is fostering a revolutionary state of Bapa, California alone. EIGHTY - FIVE ORPHANS HELPED BY COUNTY DURING MONTH Warrants amounting to $2,328.57 were approved by the county board of supervisors for the expenditures of Walter Gregg, county aid commissioner. During the last month, 287 indigents aid 85 orphans were helped by the county. Although there has been no appreciable increase in the number served during the last month over several months before, the unemployment situation is apt to cause a greater drain on the county funds during the next few months, Gregg stated. BEARING WALNUT TREES ON LOTS IN NEW SUB-DIVISION Elliott and Anderson are in the market with a fine new subdivision of Anaheim, embracing sixty lots, two blocks south of the Anaheim high school on South Citron street. The size of lots range from 50 by 100 to 65 by 110 to 16-foot alley. Each lot will have several full bearing walnut trees.

FIVE BOUTS SCHEDULED Martin Shoemaker, 16 years old, was almost instantly killed in Orange late yesterday afternoon when the bicycle which he was riding was struck RAILROADS STOP ALLEY CHARITY RATES FOR CITY AND COUNTY Charity rates on railroads will hereafter be refused city, county and state governments, according to a letter received today by County A Commissioner Walter Gregg. This action comes, according to the letter, as a result of the high taxes. The railroads, which in the past have been carrying destitute and indigenous persons for practically nothing at the request of city, county and state governments, will not continue this practice. This does not apply to such charities organizations as the Salvation Army, Ebell Club, Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion or other bodies dealing with charities. COTTON MEN HOPEFUL AS NATIONAL MEET OPENS TODAY BOSTON, Nov. 1.—Production costs will be the subject of open discussion in the first session of the annual meeting of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers which will open here tomorrow connection with the International Textile Exposition. A general relief over the prospect of tariff protection was noticed among the cotton men here to attend. It was pointed out that during the war, the big struggle eliminated European countries as competitors in the cotton trade, but now the manufacturers of the country welcome protection as a result of indications of renewed competition from abroad. It was stated today that the cotton manufacturers of New England do not contemplate any immediate wage reductions, although it was admitted that the question of wages and labor costs were being studied. Cotton trade developments in central Europe are being closely watched it was learned, because of the possibility of Germany becoming a dangerous competitor in the textile industry. Indications are that the export trade is proceeding on the basis of an annual export of 675,000,000 yards of cotton goods. Speaking of possible German competition, it was pointed out that German mill workers are nailed the equivalent of $4 a week, while American operatives receive nearly six times that wage. Tomorrow's meeting will be given over almost entirely to the discussion of production costs in which the various representatives compared figures. On Thursday morning, Frank W Reynolds, chairman of the committee on Industrial Research of the n FIVE BOUTS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY AT DELHI ARENA The reopening of the boxing arena at Delhi and the presentation of a first-class card of bouts will take place Wednesday night.

WHEN TRUCK HITS BICYCLE Martin Shoemaker, 16 years old, was almost instantly killed in Orange late yesterday afternoon when the bicycle which he was riding was struck by a truck. The youth was thrown to the ground and one wheel of the truck passed over his body. G. W. Struck driver of the truck, carried the boy to his home where he died half an hour later.

County wide interest is assured and plans in process of formulation by every post in the county to make the affair a huge success and one fitting for the observance of Armistice Day promise a complete program. Parade to Feature Day The big parade, which will be a feature of the day, will start promptly at 11 o'clock, according to the tentative schedule lined up by the executive committee and announced today by Maurice Enderle. The parade will start at the corner of Fifth and French streets, travel east to Lacy, south on Lacy to Fourth, west on Fourth to Ross and south on Ross to Birch Park, where it will disband. Music for the parade will be furnished by seven bands already secured for the occasion and others may be secured before November 11. Enderle announced. The parade will be the whole feature of the morning and will be ended in time to observe the two minute period starting at 12 o'clock noon when absolute quiet is to reign and everyone is to give due homage to the boys who died over seas. Wounded Soldiers Guests One feature of especial interest planned for the day by the Santa Ana post is the bringing of a number of disabled veterans from Sawtelle and Norwalk to witness the parade and take part in the celebration. The Legion boys are planning this at their own expense as one way to show their respect for those who suffered for their country. Besides the floats and marching plans of civic and commercial bodies for the parade, the Stanford and California alumni associations are planning to march in the parade. Governor to Talk Governor Stephens will be the big feature of the afternoon. In Birch park at 3:30, following a football game at the high school, the program of speaking and singing will start.

The governor is expected to arrive from San Diego some time in the afternoon and plans are made to give him a big reception. In the evening a grand ball will be held in the Armory hall. All attendance records for criminal cases seemed certain to be shattered. Extra police were on duty since dawn. Trouble in handing the rapidly growing crowds was anticipated. A fight for seats the moment the big doors swung open was imminent. Most of the crowd which surged the sidewalks, streets and building corridors were women, a number of whom had babies in their arms. Lawyers Are Busy The prosecution and defense camps seethed with activity here today, a few hours before the first of two trials growing out of the sensational "midnight murder" of John Belton Kennedy, wealthy young broker, was to start. Arthur C. Burch, minister's son and Northwestern University graduate, the first of two defendants to go on trial for the Kennedy murder, was in animated conversation with his defense attorneys. Burch Is Defiant He gesticated with clanched firsts and talked rapidly with ever changing expressions on his perspiring face. The air of defiance and assurance which he has held throughout three months in the county jail was augmented as the moment of his trial drew near with intense nervous activity. His "fighting blood" was up, he said. Mrs. Obenchain Talks Madalynne Obenchain, who will face a jury on a charge of complicity in the same mysterious crime as soon as Burch's fate is decided, issued a statement today expressing her confidence in his innocence. "I know of no circumstance which would prove Arthur Burch guilty," she said. "If I did, I would certainly relate them, for if Arthur Burch is guilty, he should hang. I believe he is innocent." COP HUNTING MURDERER FINDS MEXICAN, GUN AND BAD LIQUOR Investigating a report that a murder had been committed in a new camp near La Habra, Constable Van Curen discovered a Mexican with a loaded revolver, a fourteen inch army bayonet and a bottle of liquor. No foundation for the murder report was discovered, however, and the constable was of the opinion that the person making the report must have become excited at the array of artillery in possession of the Mexican. The Mexican was arrested on two counts and was to appear before Justice of the Peace Hart at La Habra today to answer to the charges of carrying concealed weapons and transporting intoxicating liquor.

Zabel went to that city early today to make an effort to secure fingerprints of the would-be burglar. The report of the attempted entrance to the building was reported to Sheriff C. E. Jackson late yesterday by Dr. G. L. Kay. ANAHEIM MERCHANTS SHOWING BIG STOCKS AT VERY LOW PRICES A visit to the many first-class stores of Anaheim will convince the most particular shopper that Anaheim merchants never before displayed such a wonderfully complete line of high class goods and priced so reasonable as they are right now. No city within a radius of 100 miles of Anaheim is offering better stocks at such low prices. An investigation will prove not only interesting but will be a great lesson in how economically one may shop in Anaheim. Shop in Anaheim all the time!
