WILL PLAY CENTRE COLLEGE AT SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14.—Arizona University, southwest football champions, will play Centre College here December 26. This announcement, made today by the football committee of the San Diego Athletic and Acreation association, is definite and final, they stated. The game was signed after more than a month of bickering with various colleges. Centre refused to meet Notre Dame, and University of Southern California would not enter into negotiations after this refusal. FARM CENTERENDORSES MOVE TO CONSERVE WATER HERE The movement looking to the conservation of water which has the support of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and of which Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn of this city is the apostle, was endorsed last night by the Anaheim Farm Center. When J. A. Hollingshead, chairman of the farm center, called the meeting to order at the high school building a large number of local ranchers were present as were also a number of public spirited citizens, interested in the growth and development of this community. The announcement that the meeting was to be devoted to a general discussion of the subject of water conservation had created considerable interest. City Manager O. E. Steward was to have been the principal speaker, but illness prevented his attendance. The general discussion, however, brought out much information. The address of Postmaster Ahlborn was of especial interest. Always taking a conspicuous part in movements for the public good, Postmaster Ahlborn has found the agitation of the importance of water conservation a labor of love. Brutally attacked when he ordered two negroes to take the rear seat in his Crown Stage bus at Fullerton at 7:45 last night, D. O. Grimes, driver of the bus, suffered a broken arm and a three-inch cut on his left cheek. The bus was ready to pull out for Los Angeles when the two negroes appeared on the scene. Space was available for two in the second seat and the rear seat was vacant. The occupants of the second seat are said to have held the door and Grimes politely requested the negroes to enter the rear seat. The negroes, Eddie Woods and E. G. Brooks, both of Fullerton, then attacked the driver. One man had a club of inch material about two inches wide and three feet long. The other had a knife with which he lunged at Grimes' throat but missed, slashing his cheek and cutting through to the teeth in one place. Hit Driver With Club The man with the club endeavored to hit the driver an head but the full force of the blow was caught on an arm lifted to ward off the blow. The arm was badly fractured as a result. Feeling ran high in Fullerton last night as a result of the brutal assault, and Woods, who was taken by City Marshal Arthur Eells of Fullerton at a friend's house, where he had fled, and Brooks, who was taken from Motor Transit bus in Whittier in response to a call from the Fullerton police department, were brought to Santa Ana to the county jail for safe keeping. That trouble with the same negroes has occurred between bus drivers before for the same reason is reported. It is thought that the attack was premeditated as one of the two had a club ready and the other quickly produced a knife. A complaint charging the two men with assault with a deadly weapon was sworn to this morning by Grimes. The negroes were to be arraigned before Justice French of Fullerton today. Los Alamitos Man Takes Booze Case to High Court Appeal to the superior court has been made by Attorneys Eden and Koepsel for Jack Talomantes, Los Alamitos hotel man, who recently was found guilty of selling intoxicating liquor and fined $200 by Justice J. B. Cox. Talamantes was arrested last August and his trial was held in September. The jury disagreed and another trial was held in November. After a very brief period the jury returned a verdict of guilty. BREA CITY MARSHAL Son and Widow Share In $45,000 Property An estate of $45,000 was left by Dr. C. J. K. Jones, well known citrus grower of Orange, who died December 7, it was shown in a petition to probate the will on file today in superior court on behalf of J. R. Porter. Orange banker, through Attorney F. C. Drummm. The estate consists of citrus property, valued at about $41,000 near Orange, and the remainder consisting of personal property and cash. Heirs to the estate named in the petition include the widow, who resides at Orange, a son, at Utica, N.Y., othe non-resident relatives and Reinhold Barrein, of Orange, who was manager of Dr. Jones' ranch property. TEACHER TO RECOVER FROM BURNS, REPORT The condition of Miss Alice M. Clausen, Santa Ana school teacher, who was seriously burned when her night-robe caught fire from an open gas heater Sunday morning, was slightly improved today. Miss Clausen is confined at the Community hospital where hopes are held out for her recovery. A spurt of flame from the heater set fire to Miss Clausen's night robe, her only garment, which blazed instantly, enveloping her in flames. Her screams attracted other occupants of the house who rushed to her assistance. Miss Clausen is the daughter of George Clausen, local furniture dealer, and has been employed as teacher of the kindergarten class of the Jefferson school. TIME TO SEND THAT PACKAGE BACK EAST WARNS POSTMASTER Have you started that parcel east yet? If not, it is about time, if you wish it to reach there-by Christmas day. At the same time we wish once more to impress upon the public the necessity of addressing parcel post packages correctly. This is the advice of Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn. Place the address in the lower right hand corner, and the name of the sender in the upper left-hand corner. This is necessary to insure the package reaching its destination. Never place the name of the sender under the name of the party to whom the parcel is addressed or there is meeting was to be devoted to a general discussion of the subject of water conservation had created considerable interest. City Manager O. E. Steward was to have been the principal speaker, but illness prevented his attendance. The general discussion, however, brought out much information. The address of Postmaster Ahlborn was of especial interest. Always taking a conspicuous part in movements for the public good, Postmaster Ahlborn has found the agitation of the importance of water conservation a labor of love. As head of the movement backed up by the Associated Chambers of Commerce, he has placed an exhaustive report before the county board of supervisors in which an appropriation is asked for the investigation of feasible reservoir sites. The movement for this appropriation is undoubtedly going over, it is said, as the business men and ranchers of the county are thoroughly alive to the situation and the board of supervisors will realize the great good to be accomplished by taking the situation in hand. CHRISTMAN'S VICTIM MYSTERY TO POLICE The identity of the person whom George Christman, alias George S. Jean, formerly of Anaheim, now in the Los Angeles county jail on various charges, says he murdered in New York was a puzzle yesterday for Deputy Sheriffs Wright and Strong. According to the officers, Christman has named three different women as the one he is said to have slain. After a severe grilling he asserted the woman he killed in New York was none of the three, but a girl whose name he declines to give, according to the police. At first, it was stated, he said he killed or thought he killed Grace Alberts, known to him as Grace Mansfield, whom he says he met at San Juan Capistrano. Later he said the girl was Minnie Reed of New York. Yesterday Christman is said to have told the officers that the girl killed was Blanche Falkingham. But she is supposed to be alive. Then Christman said none of the three was his victim and he declined to talk any more. He is held on charges of grand larceny, burglary and joy riding. BREA CITY MARSHAL TO GET HEARING ON BRIBERY CHARGE J. E. Stone, Brea city marshal, was to appear before Justice J. B. Cox late this afternoon for his preliminary hearing on the charge of accepting a bribe from J. M. Chavez. Stone is alleged to have offered to "suspend operations" against Chavez, whom he suspected of bootlegging, for the sum of $100. This money is said never to have been paid. Chavez swore to a complaint December, charging the marshal with bribery. Stone has been held in the county jail since that time in lieu of $1000 bail set by Justice Cox. Although the bail was reduced to $500, Stone remained in the county jail, unable to raise the required amount. Witnesses who were to appear in the case were Dana Spicer and Fred Klein of Brea and Ed Renn of Placentia. MAN FINED $25 FOR DRIVING AUTOMOBILE OVER NEW ROAD Although he claimed that he had been given permission to pass over a new road under construction, Elmer McGee of Riverside was fined $25 by Judge Cox today: F. C. Ford, superintendent of construction on East Seventeenth street over which McGee was said to have passed, denied that permission had been given and stated that no one was ever allowed over the roads in process of construction. Have you started that parcel east yet? If not, it is about time, if you wish it to reach there-by Christmas day. At the same time we wish once more to impress upon the public the necessity of addressing parcel post packages correctly. This is the advice of Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn. Place the address in the lower right hand corner, and the name of the sender in the upper left-hand corner. This is necessary to insure the package reaching its destination. Never place the name of the sender under the name of the party to whom the parcel is addressed or there is likelihood of the package being returned by a railway mail clerk to the Anaheim postoffice. This occurs occasionally, and so it is well to always properly correct your package, as well as securely pack them. J. H. STERN SENTENCED TO TERM IN PRISON FOR AUTO THEFT J. H.

POPULATION OF ANAHEIM POPULATION OF ANAHEIM DOUBLES DURING YEAR NEARLY 10,000 HERE NOW The population of Anaheim at this good hour is in excess of 9,000, according to a statement made today by a representative of the Kassan Directory Company. New residents are moving in so fast as to hamper the closing of the directory on schedule time, and the Kassan Company is desirous of making the most authentic and complete record. On December 1, there were 5,126 adults in Anaheim, and on the basis of "three-fourths of a child to each adult" the number of children would be 3,843, and the total population of 8,963. From October 1 to December 1, sixy-seven new families became residents of Anaheim. The growth during the first of December has been as great and averaging four persons to a family the population would be in excess of 9,000. In January 1920 the United States census gave Anaheim as 5,526, representing a gain of almost 100 per cent! The city water meter connections, estimated at five persons to a tap verifies the records of the Kassan Company. Now add to this splendid record of development this fact—500 persons will be added to the present figures of over 9,000 when the contemplated additions to the city are made. With the rapid arrival of new residents it is extremely conservative to declare that the population of Anaheim will keep the 10,000 mark in less than three months. The Kassan Directory Company have been carefully canvassing Anaheim and Northern Orange County for several months and their representatives declare that getting a complete record was very difficult on account of the rapid growth of the various towns, particularly Anaheim. The population figures of the Kassan Company are based on the most accurate information and besides this no person was included in the population of Anaheim, unless that person actually resided within the corporate limits of the city. The most rigid rule was followed and as a result when the work is finished the public will posees a most valuable census record. Hooray for Greater Anaheim! Anaheim has donned seven league boots and nothing can stop her from realizing the splendid destiny that her resources, physical beauty, climatic charm, genius for prosperity, and splendid citizenship deserve!
