TAKE FALL OUT OF HARVARD ANAHEIM HIGH ANNEXES SECOND DEBATE OF YEAR Joseph Burns and George Chambers Carry Local Banners to Victory—Defeat of Los Angeles Military School Worst Numerically of Year Anaheim, 200 1-3; Harvard Military School, 175 1-3. Debaters — Anaheim, affirmative, Joseph Burns, George Chambers; Harvard, negative, Alvin Bucklin and Arthur Cawston. Resolved, That the United States should establish a progressive inheritance and income tax in connection with its revenue system. Judges—Fred Frew, principal of the Compton high school; L. A. Barker of Orange and Prof. Musser of the Santa Monica high school. Anaheim put it all over Harvard military school at the high school debate in Los Angeles on Friday evening, when the boys from the country walked away from the city boys by a score of 200 1-3 to 175 1-3. The superiority of the former over the latter is best illustrated in the individual points awarded, Burns being given 289, Chambers 282, Cawston 275, and Bucklin 251. Burns and Chambers outshone the Harvard debaters, bringing victory to their school by the largest score of the year. Burns led off and had five minutes for rebuttal. He used his time well, arguing from the af- evening, when the boys from the country walked away from the city boys by a score of 200 1-3 to 175 1-3. The superiority of the former over the latter is best illustrated in the individual points awarded, Burns being given 289, Chambers 282, Cawston 275, and Bucklin 251. Burns and Chambers outshone the Harvard debaters, bringing victory to their school by the largest score of the year. Burns led off and had five minutes for rebuttal. He used his time well, arguing from the affirmative side of the question. He was followed by Bucklin who, while making a good impression with the judges and audience, fell below Burns in the force of his argument as well as his delivery. Chambers came up with the reinforcements, and in convincing manner showed the force and logic of his side of the argument. When he sat down, it required no prophet to foreshadow the result of the debate. Cawston closed for the military school, and while he may one day develop into a great military strategist, he will never rank with the foremost debaters of his time, unless he goes into training to eradicate the rattles which seized him on several occasions. His argument was faulty and his delivery marred by the loss of his lines and a bit of shaggy expression which put his argument, so to speak, on the bum. The result of the decision was greeted with cheers and yelling on the part of the local contingent who accompanied the debaters. Harvard made a lot of noise during the evening, but Anaheim paid it back with interest before it was all over. The evening train northbound was an hour and a half late, arriving at 7:15, and the military school was not reached until 8:25. A sprinkling of military kids were on hand to greet the visitors, and the debate began immediately. As the contest progressed, it could be seen that saltpeter couldn't save Harvard, and the city lads went down to ignominious defeat.

The case was begun March 28, 1901 by the filing of a suit by the Rincon power and land company against the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company in the United States circuit court at Los Angeles, the claim being set up by the complainant to certain lands at Rincon opposite the Durkee ranch formerly owned by J. R. Newberry, and that Newberry also had filed on 30,000 inches of the waters of the Santa Ana river. Complainant also set up the decision in the old Jurupa land and water company suit and asked that it be held by the court as bar to all the rights of the water companies to water in the Santa Ana river. This Jurupa suit was brought by the water companies against riparian owners up the river, but the supreme court in BURGLARS AT H Enter Hostelry Early Sat- ing and Make Off With- Sneak thieves entered a clal hotel sometime bette 2 o'clock Saturday morn- ing upstairs ransacked se for money and valuables John Ziegler's room the his purse containing $55 sers that lay upon a ch- door.

S. Bradford was in town from Placentia on Monday and said the Durkeen ranch formerly owned by J. R. Newberry, and that Newberry also had filed on 30,000 inches of the waters of the Santa Ana river. Complainant also set up the decision in the old Jurupa land and water company suit and asked that it be held by the court as bar to all the rights of the water companies to water in the Santa Ana river. This Jurupa suit was brought by the water companies against riparian owners up the river, but the supreme court in the case of Bathgate vs. Irvine subsequently decided that the water companies could not get title by adverse possession against upper owners and the suit was therefore dismissed by consent of all parties concerned. Briefly stated, the prayer of plaintiff's complaint was, first, that the court adjudge it entitled to appropriate 30,000 inches of the waters of the Santa Ana river; second, that the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company have no title to the waters, and defendants be enjoined pending the suit from taking water in excess of 3000 inches, and upon final hearing, the defendants be perpetually enjoined from appropriating or diverting any of the waters of the Santa Ana river in excess of 3000 inches; that the water companies be enjoined from interfering with complainants in the construction of its works and the diverting of the waters. The water companies appeared by their attorneys and demurred to the bill and moved to strike out all parts relating to the old Jurupa suit and parts relating to filing of notices of appropriation of water by J. R. Newberry. The court granted the motion and struck out all of the complaint except an action to quiet title to percolating waters alleged to be in land owned by complainant. This practically determined the result of the entire action in favor of the defendants, and although the plaintiff has kept the case on the calendar ever since, presumably as a kind of lever to assist in the settlement of proposed negotiations for a compromise, nothing has ever been accomplished in that direction, and now the suit has been officially knocked out and the record is clear. Attorneys for the complainant were Charles Silent, Works, Lee, all of Los Angeles, and for the water companies were Attorneys Melrose of Anaheim, E. E. Keech of Santa Ana, J. W. Hutton and John D. Pope of Los Angeles. FIRE FIGHTERS ELECT The fire department held al election Wednesday even and selected the following for the ensuing year: N. F. Steadman, chief Stern, assistant chief and N. B. Tedford, secretary and of the hook and ladder wa Quarton, foreman of the brigade. N. F. Steadman was preside a handsome loving cup by ment members. The speech was made by Heri in a few appropriate words. E. L. Goodrich, Joe Gil Herman Schindler were a committee to arrange for an annual ball to be held at house on the evening of The department will ins NEW WATER OFFICE A. S. Bradford was in town from Placentia on Monday and said the water company will probably begin work upon its new two-story office building at the corner of Hedwig and Center streets within the next month or two. Plans for the structure have been drawn, and it is the company's purpose to begin work upon it as soon as possible. Current rumor is to the effect that when the building is under way Mr. Bushard will begin the erection of a hotel building upon ground between the new building and the opera-house. Mr. Bradford visited the Yorba reservoir the first of the week and says the water company will plant a park upon ten acres owned by the company adjoining the reservoir. This will be used for picnic purposes. Asked regarding the annual election of directors, which occurs Saturday, he said he heard of no one gathering proxies, and had no knowledge of any contest being made against any member of the present board. NEW GAS HOLDER A gas holder of the capacity of 40,000 cubic feet arrived this week from Cincinnati for the gas company. The holder is being placed in position. The company now has storage capacity for 20,000 cubic feet, and the new holder will treble that capacity. The company will pipe the Santa Fe tract. The new work and improvements will cost $10,000. BURGLARS AT HOTEL Hostelry Early Saturday Morning and Make Off With Valuables Thieves entered the Commertel sometime between 1 and Saturday morning, and gostairs ransacked several rooms money and valuables.

DIRECTORS WILL ALTERNATE CHANGE IS PROPOSED THAT WILL IMPROVE SERVICE Chamber of Commerce Will Choose New Board of Directors at Annual Meeting Friday Night—Davis of Santa Ana Will Speak at Banquet An amendment to the by-laws of the chamber of commerce, suggested at the meeting of members of that body which was held Monday evening, proposes a change in the method of choosing directors which would appear to be an improvement. By the present system, seven new directors are chosen at each annual meeting, serving one year and being in turn replaced with seven new directors, unfamiliar with details of the work of the retiring board, or with uncompleted projects which may be under way, or plans for work to be undertaken but not yet begun. It is proposed to change the by-laws so that the new board of directors for each year will have in its membship some members of the preceding board, familiar with its plans and with experience in its methods of carrying on the work. The advantages of this change are apparent, and the new plan will probably be adopted previous to the election of directors at the annual meeting and banquet to be held Friday evening at Odd Fellows' hall. The amendment, submitted by A. A. Mills, is as follows: otherwise he would have arsertained the cause of the mission at that time of the nights previous a large pane in one of the outside doorsashed in, making an aperture enough for a person to enter, signs of any thievery was used on that occasion. durable complaint is heard citizens on the fact that the practically unprotected nights business houses and residences easy access to thieves. It is the city to provide better protection at night, and thereby stop to this petty outlawry. Several occasions of late hoboes hazenly solicited alms from peas within the heart of town the evenings, and it is high that they are made to move on. FIGHTERS ELECT OFFICERS A re department held its annuion Wednesday evening last elected the following officers sensuing year: Steadman, chief; Herman assistant chief and treasurer; Edford, secretary and foreman Cook and ladder wagon; W.P. foreman of the hose cart Steadman was presented with some loving cup by the depart-members. The presentation was made by Herman Stern now appropriate words. Goodrich, Joe Gibson and Schindler were appointed a free to arrange for the second ball to be held at the opera in the evening of Feb. 22d. Department will install at its proposed to change the by-laws so that the new board of directors for each year will have in its membership some members of the preceding board, familiar with its plans and with experience in its methods of carrying on the work. The advantages of this change are apparent, and the new plan will probably be adopted previous to the election of directors at the annual meeting and banquet to be held Friday evening at Odd Fellows' hall. The amendment, submitted by A. A. Mills, is as follows: Moved, That there be elected three members for the board of directors from the retiring board to serve for one year; that there be elected four other members to serve for two years. That thereafter in 1910 and all even years there be three members elected to serve for two years; that in 1911 and in all odd years thereafter four members be elected to serve for two years. As a larger attendance is expected at the annual banquet than was in evidence at the regular meeting on Monday night, and to give some time for consideration of the proposed change in by-laws, the election of directors was postponed to Friday evening. Preceding the banquet a business session will be held at 7:30 o'clock in Odd Fellows' hall and members are urged to be on hand promptly to participate in the election and other important matters. Reports will be presented of the past year's work and of present conditions as regards membership and finances. In addition to the speakers at the banquet as previously announced, there will be an address by District Attorney S. M. Davis of Santa Ana who has accepted an invitation from the directors to be present and participate in the flow of eloquence. Mr. Davis will discuss matters of special interest to business men and members of the organization, and will no doubt sustain his well known reputation as an entertaining and forceful speaker. CITY BAND BALL Members of the city band will entertain their many friends with a grand ball at the opera-house on Friday evening, Jan. 29. Music will be furnished by the band's orchestra, which is equivalent to saying the best of music will be provided. Three of the musical organization's most popular players, Frank Tausch, Herman Schindler and Carl Pressel, form the committee of arrangements, and they are sparing no pains to assure guests of a most enjoyable evening. Steadman was presented with some loving cup by the departmembers. The presentation was made by Herman Stern appropriate words. Goodrich, Joe Gibson and Schindler were appointed a dee to arrange for the second ball to be held at the operathe evening of Feb. 22d. Department will install at its ense, an electric fire alarm. A committee will visit diffies using alarms and report best systems to be installed.
