VAULT RESHIPPED; NEW BANK CAPUT Local Stockholders of Prospective Institution Warm Under the Collar Toward Holcomb—One Says it is a Throw-Down The proposed United States National bank is gone by the boards. It will not be started, and for the present the town will have to worry along with the First National and the American Savings bank. Among the score of stockholders of the prospective bank there is considerable warmth in regard to Chet Holcomb, whom they accused having been overtaken with a severe attack of cold feet. Holcomb has been for six weeks past on the desert shipping his melon crop, which is said to be turning out well. He was in town ten days ago, coming in one evening and departing the next morning. A number of the stockholders were surprised to learn of his short stay. Several had been looking for him for 4 month, and when it was known that he that it would hardly be the Edison company to effort to secure control of pal lighting plant.

The ran of 725 acres was sold th to Chet Holcomb, whom they accused having been overtaken with a severe attack of cold feet. Holcomb has been for six weeks past on the desert shipping his melon crop, which is said to be turning out well. He was in town ten days ago, coming in one evening and departing the next morning. A number of the stockholders were surprised to learn of his short stay. Several had been looking for him for 4 month, and when it was known that he had come to town and had left almost immediately without informing them of his plans, it occasioned surprise. One day last week the vault which had been stored in the Santa Fe freight warehouse was ordered reshipped to Los Angeles. Stockholders of the prospective United States Savings bank were amazed when they heard the news. "Holcomb has got cold feet," said one of the leading lights in the proposed new bank; "although I don't know how he got them out at Thermal, for I understand the weather has been unusually warm out on the desert. He might have run up against a cold wave while on one of his numerous trips to Los Angeles. It's a clean throw-down; that's all I have to say about it." The United States National bank was projected about three months ago, although its baptismal name was the Commercial Bank and Trust Company. I. W. Hellman, president of the Farmers & Merchants National bank of Los Angeles, was interested in the venture, through Holcomb's solicitation. The vault shipped here for the new bank was the one formerly in use by Mr. Hellman's Los Angeles bank. J. H. Graves of the Farmers and Merchants bank was to have been president of the new bank. Mr. Hellman evidently tired of the way things were progressing, and on Thursday last ordered his vault reshipped to Los Angeles. It was given out a month ago that Senator Clark would be a stockholder in the enterprise, but this proved to be erroneous, he being identified with a rival bank to Hellman's institution, and the latter having been programmed as the Los Angeles end of the new bank. Holcomb lost valuable time in his efforts to organize the bank, presuming that he really was desirous of starting the institution. Backers of the enterprise looked for some results as Senator Clark would be a stockholder in the enterprise, but this proved to be erroneous, he being identified with a rival bank to Hellman’s institution, and the latter having been programmed as the Los Angeles end of the new bank. Holcomb lost valuable time in his efforts to organize the bank, presuming that he really was desirous of starting the institution. Backers of the enterprise looked for some results as long as six weeks ago, but there seemed to be nothing doing. Holcomb said he would have to give some attention to his melon crop, which he said on a recent trip to this city “had a fine flavor.” Regret is expressed among the stockholders as well as others at the course events have taken, but backers of the bank declare the enterprise will be soon revived. “Holcomb has offered no explanation to us,” said one of the original movers yesterday, “and I’m quite at a loss to understand him. I think he has made a mistake. Of course I do not know what prompted him to the action, but I should have thought the men who put him at the head of the proposed new bank and who backed him for all they were worth, should at least be given the courtesy of an explanation. If that’s the kind of a man Holcomb is, I’m glad we did not get any further with him.” Lights Out for Gressler Mayor Rust announced at the last meeting of the city trustees, after the reporter had made his descent in the freight elevator, that the reason for Mr. Gressler’s non-appearance was probably because the Mayor had a few days before written him to the effect ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1905 It would hardly be necessary for the company to make further secure control of the municipal lighting plant. The Mayor wrote that he had after a thorough investigation of the subject changed his from one pro-Edison to anotheredly con to that corporation. So earlier came not. Regular as it may seem three of the trustees a fortnight since seemed for leasing the municipal plant to Mr. Gressler had convinced that he would "save money" for by thereby; but careful examination of the matter shows the city could along without the assistance Edison company. Mr. Gressler dropped out of sight. He will be no election to vote the proposition of leasing the plant to the Edison; but later on will probably be a vote upon the union of issuing bonds for increase capacity not only of the light but of the water works as well.own is growing.

Menaces to Health At a meeting of the State Board of Health at Sacramento recently Dr. Martin Regensburger of San Francisco, the president, called attention to the fact that a large number of Porto Ricans are coming to this State via Honolulu, bringing with them a disease scientifically known as unicina-riasis. It is commonly known as the "hook worm" disease, and a report In the Glen Ellen minded there are 537. In the prisons the order follows: San Quentin 1059; total 2612.

Inquire agent. the board showed that 80 per cent of the population of Porto Rico afflicted with it. The Porto Ricans were engaged to work on the sugar plantations of Hawaii and over 1000 of them have come to California by way Honolulu during the past two years. Early all of them have the disease, which is contagious. Dr. Regensburger also called attention to the large number of Japanese men in this country who are afflicted with trachoma, a contagious disease of the eyes. The board will warn medical health boards to look out for these diseases. The board adopted a resolution denouncing the sale of undrawn fish and entry, most of which is shipped here on the East, as a menace to the public health. Health boards throughout State are directed to enforce the general health laws, as there is no direct legislation against this particular practice. The board also decided to enforce State law prohibiting the pollution of streams by emptying sewage from them. The question of licensing undertakings and embalmers was referred to a committee. Spray for Apricot Scale success in the search for powerful Baseball The Rivera ball team and the Oil Wells tied the game on Sunday, the score being 8 to 8, with a half inning to the good for the former. The latter did not play their half owing to the lateness of the hour. The game was tenaceously contested, but at times developed into an old maids' jawing match, with the umpire's decisions the bone of contention, and the visiting team the aggressors. Had the game been professional, the umpire would have had a picnic fining the beligerants. As it was the umpire came very near being cannibalized. The Oils played in great form until the eighth inning and had eight nice runs tucked away under their belts as a result of their superior playing. The Riveras had but one lonely tally up to this stage of the game, but now got busy and passed three more over the counting station. The first half of the ninth they made four more runs and the Oils were shut out. The Oils were up in the air at a most respectable distance and how they ever permitted the visitors to cover up so much territory is past finding out. It may be assigned to an overdose of rattle. Morrison pitched a fair game for the Oils, his curves were many, but still he had Good Boy Meats working overtime Spray for Apricot Scale success in the search for powerful ways for the brown apricot scale in the well-known San Jose scale is reported by H. J. Quale, assistant enologist in the agricultural department of the University of California, who has published a bulletin describing experiments which were conducted under his direction in co-operation with the Kings county board of horticulture and the fruit growers in the neighborhood of Hanford. The most destructive pest in Kings County at present is the brown apricot scale, although unknown there for years ago, has now taken a firm hold on the fruit trees, thriving, never, not so much on the apricot scale in the prune. Entomologist Quale said that the familiar "rein comma" was not only accurate but immensely useful in the case of the brown apricot scale. The old "lime-sulphur-salt" wash found to be the most effective remedy for the San Jose scale, but of use for the brown apricot scale. The Wards of the State The last bulletin of the state board charities gives some very interesting figures on the number of inmates in the insane hospitals, prisons and rehospital schools of the state. The total number in the insane hospitals is as follows: Stockton hospital 1716, Napa Valley Agnews 1061, Patton 854, Mendon 676; total in hospitals 5796; on parole 223; total on hospital book 6019. In the Glen Ellen home for feeble children there are 537. In the prisons the enrollment is as follows: San Quentin 1553, Folsom 102; total 2612. The reform schools there are: Pittier 302, Ione 186; total 448. This makes a total of 9542 in all institutions, not counting those on parole. Morrison pitched a fair game for the Oils, his curves were many, but still he had Good Boy Meats working overtime stopping the wild ones. Broadbent, the Downey southpaw, performed well for the river boys, even if he did have a flat wheel. Fluppie Easterly was their backstop and did nicely, barring a few fits of melancholy anent the umpire's decisions. Burnett made a sensational catch of a long drive in the leftfield, and in his sprint just as he got the horsehide he stumbled and rolled over and over again, but he had the ball. Jack is always making some phenomenal play. Lewis again played in his usual faultless manner at short and his wielding of the willow was good. "Gaston" Bastanchury was with us again, playing right for the Oils. Crips held down the initial sack. He will be seen in the box again. He is one of the best amateur pitchers in these southern parts and has many admirers among the fans. It is really strange how a changed position affects a player. Isbell is a kingpin on first, and does good work on third, that's true, but there are little things that happen during the game that shows the need of a Head. Poo' Lil Joe umpired good for several innings, and, you feller, sit up and take notice, no back talk goes. We make a motion that Joe be declared the official umpire for the games played here. Joe Wagner took Burke's place umpiring at the sixth, owing to the latter being called away. Wagner has a clear insight to the game and gave decisions as his conscience dictated, but it was during his time that the kicking cropped out. But Joe you're all right. The Rivera lads are ball players from away back, and have some very clever ones among them. Morrison will be used regularly in the box for the Oils. One of the features of the game was the backstop work of Guy Meats. He and Morrison will Resolutions of Respect The following resolutions were adopted at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Savings, Loan and Building association of Anaheim, held on July 3, 1905: Whereas, Death has claimed H. A. McWilliams, who for many years was a member of this board; therefore, be it Resolved, That we testify our appreciation of his many good qualities and his faithful and valued services as a member of this board. We shall miss his council and assistance in the affairs of the association and his welcome presence at board meetings, where his opinions and advice were always at the command of his associates and were always welcomed. Resolved, That we tender to the family of the deceased our heartfelt sympathy in their irreparable loss and bereavement. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the widow and published in the local newspapers.
