CHAPMAN AND MELROSE SPEAK FOR STANTON EACH MAKES A HIT AT THE LEVY BANQUET Former Refers to Popinjay Patriots and One-Horse Newspapers Shouting for Reform, but Who Are Never Right on Anything — Melrose Brings Down the House on the Anti-Jap Bills C. C. Chapman of Fullerton and Richard Melrose spoke at the Stanton banquet at Levy's the other evening. A delegation of Orange county republicans was present, and when Stanton, in his address, said he valued the friendship of his Orange county friends, whom he had known for a quarter of a century, more than he had words to express, he was loudly applauded. Mr. Chapman was introduced as the man who can raise good oranges and pick good governors. Mr. Chap- TO HELP CHARLEY JESTER Fatherless Boy, Bitten by Mad Dog, In Need of Assistance Charley Jester, the grammar-school lad who was bitten by a mad dog three weeks ago, will today go to Los Angeles for the last of twenty-one treatments by Dr. Chambers of the Pasteur hospital. Charley has been out of school half a day each day since being bitten, but by diligent application and hard study has kept up with his studies, and hopes to graduate into highschool at the end of the term. He was bitten on the wrist by a stray dog three weeks ago, while assisting in operating a washing machine at a neighbor's. He attempted to drive the dog away, while it snapped its fangs at a lady standing near, and himself received the bite. Dr. Beebe cauterized the wound, and the following day, when the wrist was badly swollen, he cut out a piece of the wrist. He accompanied the lad to Los Angeles, where Dr. Chambers applied the Pasteur treatment, the ingredients of which he re- RETURNS GAME TO POLICE SANTA ANA PAROUSLY QUOTES Suppresses Import Dealing With Sale for Line of Feeds Our Article Last pose—"A Little Without Standing The Santa Ana Press upon lifting the scaffold Melrose for his vowford resolution, relfederal ships on tha supported by that last legislature.

This "con Richard Melrose spoke at the Stanton banquet at Levy's the other evening. A delegation of Orange county republicans was present, when Stanton, in his address, said he valued the friendship of his Orange county friends, whom he had known for a quarter of a century, more than he had words to express, he was loudly applauded. Mr. Chapman was introduced as the man who can raise good oranges and pick good governors. Mr. Chapman said that when he heard that Stanton would be a candidate for governor he was happy enough to dance a hornpipe, for, he said, he was a man who was capable of filling the office who would make a good governor. "Yet Mr. Stanton has been made the object of attack by a pack of would-be reformers and one-horse newspapers. We have these little popinjay fellows running newspapers in Orange county, and one of them, down at Santa Ana, is shouting for a so-called reform candidate. But his paper is altogether without influence. I subscribe for it. There is nothing to it. And I really don't know whether I should rather have it against me or on my side if I were a candidate. (Laughter.)" Mr. Chapman spoke from the standpoint of an old-time republican. He eulogized Stanton and spoke in terms of high praise of him. One of his stories, which illustrated the inevitable failure of the political pharisees to land an office for themselves, was about good Deacon Jones, who lived a long time ago away back in Missouri. It was before the days of newspapers, reform or tinhorn, and they used to put the news of the town on bulletin boards. One day Deacon Jones was taken ill, and the signboard read: "8 a.m.—Deacon Jones ill, and great anxiety felt for him." Later bulletins were as follows: "9 a.m.—Deacon Jones sinking fast; no hope." "10 a.m.—Deacon Jones died and gone to heaven." The town was plunged in gloom. A wag came along and added this bulletin: "4 p.m.—Great excitement in heaven. Deacon Jones has not yet arrived." (Laughter.) When it came Mr. Melrose's turn to be presented to the audience, the toastmaster said: "I have now great pleasure in introducing to you the man who fought aside with Speaker Stanton in stray dog three weeks ago, while assisting in operating a washing machine at a neighbor's. He attempted to drive the dog away, while it snapped its fangs at a lady standing near,and himself received the bite. Dr. Beebe cauterized the wound, and the following day, when the wrist was badly swollen, he cut out a piece of the wrist. He accompanied the lad to Los Angeles, where Dr. Chambers applied the Pasteur treatment, the ingredients of which he receives from the Pasteur hospital at Washington. Each day since then the boy, who is 16 years of age, has made the trip alone. Today marks the last day of his treatment. Dr. Beebe interested himself in the boy's case, and secured a reduction from $100, the usual price of the treatment, to $50. Charley has paid $15 for transportation, carfare and other expenses. He takes his lunch with him. His mother is a lady of education and refinement, who supports her four fatherless children by washing. She is a woman of slight physique, but bears up under the work with uncomplaining spirit. She was last year president of the local W.C.T.U. She said a day or two ago that she did not know how she would be able to pay the expenses of her boy's treatment. Acting upon the advice of a number of the charitably inclined, Dr. Beebe will receive and turn over to Mrs. Jester all contributions from the citizens of Anaheim and vicinity in behalf of her son. Charley must raise $65, and is at work at odd jobs to raise the money. Prof. Tople, principal of the grammar school, speaks in high terms of praise of him. The lad is seeking an education, and is entitled to such help as our good people may render him. WILL REORGANIZE TURNERS Special Train Brings Los Angeles and Pasadena Turners A special train of three coaches arrived at West Anaheim station on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, bringing 150 members of the Turnverein from Los Angeles and Pasadena. A picnic was enjoyed at Columbia Gardens, where 100 local Turners met the visitors. The purpose of the visit was to reorganize the local singing and turning sections of the Turnverein.

A wag came along and added this bulletin: "4 p.m.—Great excitement in heaven. Deacon Jones has not yet arrived." (Laughter.) When it came Mr. Melrose's turn to be presented to the audience, the toastmaster said: "I have now great pleasure in introducing to you the man who fought side by side with Speaker Stanton in the last legislature—the Hon. Thomas Melrose of Santa Ana. (Shouts of laughter.) A man on the platform whispered in the chairman's ear. He arose in pained surprise, and attempted to say something, but could not be heard. "What's the matter with Melrose?" some one shouted. "He's all right," came the response. When silence had been restored, Mr. Melrose began: "Somewhere I have read of a soldier of the legion returning home from the war unscarred,and—being kicked to death by a mule. (Roars.) and here am I, after the strenuous fight of the last legislature, in which Mr. Stanton took such a conspicuous part, being introduced as the Hon. Thomas Melrose of Santa Ana. It is too much (Great laughter and applause.) The chairman arose, put in his oar and told the audience who the great man really was. Mr. Melrose paid a high tribute to Stanton, speaking of his legislative career and his worth as a private citizen. Speaking of the anti-Jap bills he said: "The United States fears no foreign foe, but a single drop of blood of an American soldier is worth more a thousand times than all the blather-skite anti-Jap questions that ever emanated from the sandlots." There was great cheering at this, as well as at other points in his address. A special train of three coaches arrived at West Anaheim station on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, bringing 150 members of the Turnverein from Los Angeles and Pasadena. A picnic was enjoyed at Columbia Gardens, where 100 local Turners met the visitors. The purpose of the visit was to reorganize the local singing and turning sections of the Turnverein. Visiting and local singing sections rendered vocal selections during the day, and at noon an elaborate luncheon was partaken of. The local Turner societies will be reorganized, and already a large membership has been enlisted in the cause. The visitors returned to their homes in the special train at 5 o'clock ESTUDIANTINA QUARTETTE An evening of song to be given by the Estudiantina quartette on April 15th at the opera-house promises to bring out a large attendance of music lovers. The quartette is composed of Misses Kennedy and Miss Nicolas, under the direction of Miss Lillian Scanlon of Los Angeles, who has given much time to concert work, and has held many church positions of significance in eastern cities. Miss Scanlon is a contralto soloist of rare accomplishments. Schoneman & Blanchard's orchestra has been engaged, and at conclusion of the concert a dance will be held. Tickets are fifty cents and may be reserved at the Mission ice cream parlors. Two hundred and fifty twenty-year old walnut trees in Sam Kraemer's orchard at Placentia were taken out this week to make way for the new Santa Fe roadbed on the Fullerton-Richfield cut-off.

APRIL 7, 1910 RETURNS GAILY TO POLITICAL FRAY SANTA ANA PAPERETTE VALOROUSLY QUOTES THE RECORD Suppresses Important Part Thereof, Dealing With Sanford's Resolution for Line of Federal Ships—Read Our Article Last Week to No Purpose—"A Little Popinjay Sheet, Without Standing or Influence" The Santa Ana Register seems bent upon lifting the scalp of Assemblymar Melrose for his vote upon the Sanford resolution, relating to a line of federal ships on the Pacific coast, as supported by that gentleman in the last legislature. Two weeks ago the Register printed a story sent out "by its Los Angeles correspondent." attacking Melrose's record as an assemblyman. The paper charged him with "voting four times wrong" upon reform measures before the last legislature. This "correspondence" of LEWIS' PLAYING A TONIC Imbues His Mates With Spirit that Lowers Cardinal Colors The Sunday San Francisco Call devoted a large space to the picture of Capt. Fayette Lewis, showing him in a stooping position, with both hands on his knees, his jovial face beaming with the smile that makes him a favorite whereever he goes. Following is what the Call has to say in part about the game on Saturday: "The intercollegiate battle on the diamond between Berkeley and Stanford was almost perfect baseball and California won by a score of 3 to 0. There were only two errors, made by a Stanford player on hard chances, but there was plenty of good hitting Stanford got 6 hits and California 8. It was all over in an hour and 25 minutes. The runs were all earned and every minute there was snap and vim to the game. It was machinery baseball of the sort that delights the expert, but which is too good and regular to break into the college novels. "Once the hearts of the spectators sank. Captain Fayette Lewis of the SUGAR FACTORY PRACTICALLY ASSURED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DIRECTORS HOLD SPECIAL MEETING Representatives of Eastern Capitalists Modest In Their Demands—Ask Only One Thousand Dollars to Pay for Securing Acreage of Beets—Option Secured on Site on Santa Fe Road Near Sandwash—Pacific Electric Promises to Build to Factory—Supervisor Linebarger Asked to Explain About the Placentia Road A special session of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce was held Tuesday evening for the purpose of considering the proposition of Promoter Hadsell, representative of the eastern syndicate which is endeavoring to locate a beet sugar factory at Anaheim. The syndicate is very conservative in its demands, only stipulating that the citizens of Anaheim guarantee the sum of one thousand upon lifting the scalp of Assemblymar Melrose for his vote upon the Sanford resolution, relating to a line of federal ships on the Pacific coast, as supported by that gentleman in the last legislature. Two weeks ago the Register printed a story sent out "by its Los Angeles correspondent." attacking Melrose's record as an assemblyman. The paper charged him with "voting four times wrong" upon reform measures before the last legislature. This "correspondence" of the Register is none other than Meyer Lissner, chief of the reformers out of a job, and was printed, and was intended, as a reflection upon the public record of that gentleman. In our last issue we were at some pains to straighten out the Register's list of fabrications, and we showed from the record that Melrose, so far from opposing the federal ships, voted in favor of them. The Register re-published from our columns an editorial reference to Melrose's vote upon the Sanford bill, but it failed to notice our reference to the assembly record, in which portions of the preamble of Sanford's bill were shown to have been stricken out, but the resolution calling for the ships remained unchanged. If the Register desires to treat this subject fairly, it will see the entire matter again set forth upon the second page of this issue. After ignoring our complete statement of the facts of the case, the little Register returns valorously to the assault, produces the record, and—what does it find? The identical thing which we had already printed; but while it charges Melrose with voting to amend the preamble it has not the decency or the manhood to say that he supported Sanford's resolution entire. Editor Baumgartner hops about in great glee at discovery of its maresnest, and exclaims: “If Mr. Melrose didn’t know what he voted for,” and so forth and so on. One sees why Mr. Chapman referred recently to the Register as a little popinjay newspaper without any standing or influence in the community. Assemblyman Melrose voted to strike out reference to Bristow and substitute the names of Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan, who had recently introduced bills at Washington appropriating $10,000,000 for establishing this very line of federal ships. The eulogy of Bristow was recorded by him as a clan of our There were only two errors, made by a Stanford player on hard chances, but there was plenty of good hitting Stanford got 6 hits and California 8. It was all over in an hour and 25 minutes. The runs were all earned and every minute there was snap and vim to the game. It was machinery baseball of the sort that delights the expert, but which is too good and regular to break into the college novels. “Once the hearts of the spectators sank. Captain Fayette Lewis of the California team, whose playing is always a tonic to his clubmates, was struck on the head by a swift ball while he was batting. Lewis fell in the dust and the surgeons, trainers and players centered around him. From the character of the blow and the way the lad fell it looked as if he might be done for a while. But in a moment he was on his feet again and pluckily took his base on “hit” by pitcher” as if it were a gift of the baseball gods. But he rubbed a dolorous ear from time to time. “Stanford went to bat first. The side was retired, and then California started its game. Allen singled.Coane flew out to S. Mitchell but Salisbury got his base on balls. Lewis then made the first double of the game that brought Allen in easily and landed Salisbury on third.” The paper also features a picture of Bobby McFadden on second base. Allen of the Berkeley’s tried a daring steal of second base and played blindman's buff with McFadden but no advantage. He dodged out of the line too far and was called out. Bobby is credited with hitting a Texas leaguer that advanced one of his mates to third. BRIDGES MUST BE HIGH War Department on Driftwood In Time of Flood A. A. Mills this week received the following letter from the War Department at Washington, in reply to a communication from him in reference to protecting bridges from driftwood in time of flood: War Department, Engineer Office, U.S. Army, 726 Chronicle Building, San Francisco, California. March 31, 1910. Mr. A. A. Mills, Anaheim, Calif.—Sir: Your letter of March 8th with reference to dislodging large trees and driftwood from a bridge during a flood, has been referred to me to give you any information I may have A special session of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce was held Tuesday evening for the purpose of considering the proposition of Promoter Hadsell, representative of the eastern syndicate which is endeavoring to locate a beet sugar factory at Anahelm. The syndicate is very conservative in its demands, only stipulating that the citizens of Anaheim guarantee the sum of one thousand dollars, or such portion of it as may be needed, in paying canvassers for securing from growers contracts for the delivery of five thousand acres of beets per annum at its factory. The promoter also asks that the chamber of commerce and the merchants association use such influence as they possess in selling stock in the concern to the amount of $150,000. This proposition is not obligatory, as the company has ample capital to build alone, but the promoter thinks that if Anaheim capital is invested local interest will be stimulated and its prosperity assured, as the only uncertain element is the delivery of a sufficient quantity of beets. The following resolution embodying the proposition of the company and the sentiment of the chamber was introduced by H. V. Weisel and adopted: Resolved, by the board of directors of the chamber of commerce of Anaheim, at this meeting held on the 5th day of April, 1910, that we pledge ourselves and our organization to assist in all ways the establishment of the Anaheim Sugar Company, a corporation to be formed, and the building of a sugar factory by said company, and to use our influence to secure, and assume the work of securing, such sums of money as may be needed up to the amount of $1000 to defray the expenses incurred in securing acreage contracts for the growing of sugar beets for said company to the amount of 5000 acres, for the season of 1911, and shall endeavor to have such fund available for said purpose on the 1st day of July, 1910, and further resolve to aid by effort and influence in securing subscriptions for the capital stock of said company up to the amount of $150,000, and to aid and encourage, in all ways, the incorporation of said company. The merchants' association having met Monday afternoon to consider the same proposition and selected H. Stern and W. P. Quarton as a com- One sees why Mr. Chapman referred recently to the Register as a little popinjay newspaper without any standing or influence in the community. Assemblyman Melrose voted to strike out reference to Bristow and substitute the names of Senator Flint and Representative McLachlan, who had recently introduced bills at Washington appropriating $10,000,000 for establishing this very line of federal ships. The eulogy of Bristow was regarded by him as a slap at our California representatives, whose bills were then pending before congress, and a change was accordingly made. The names of California's representatives were substituted for that of the Kansas man. They had shown by their acts that they favored the line of federal ships. He had done nothing except to report to the president upon the propriety of establishing the line of steamers. Yet the Register says, "If Melrose didn't know what he was voting for," and so forth and so on. The reference to the Pacific Mail was stricken out, as we pointed out last week, because there was not a scintilla of evidence supporting Sanford's preamble that the company was not seeking legitimate business. Here was nothing but the denunciatory verbiage of a democrat seeking to make capital for his party, and his phrases were stricken out. His resolution calling upon congress to establish the ships remained unchanged. In view of these facts, what must be said of the Register renewing its attack upon the assemblyman, and charging him with voting against a federal line of ships, when he supported that resolution, and voted only to change the verbiage in the preamble? Mr. Chapman's words are recalled: "A little popinjay newspaper, without standing or influence in the community." War Department, Engineer Office, U. S. Army, 726 Chronicle Building, San Francisco, California. March 31, 1910. Mr. A. A. Mills, Anaheim, Calif.—Sir: Your letter of March 8th with reference to dislodging large trees are driftwood from a bridge during a flood, has been referred to me to give you any information I may have on the best methods to do this. All bridges should be built high enough to allow driftwood, etc., to pass underneath them and the piers should be protected, at places where drift is liable to flow, with dolphins placed in front of them, or by some other suitable method. It also might be practicable when lagre trees are going down stream to carry them ashore by means of cables. If they actually lodge against a bridge, I know of no ordinary way of getting rid of them except by the use of an ax. You might find it to your advantage to communicate with the Southern Pacific Co. which has bridges over the Sacramento and other rivers and they may have had experience in this line of work. Very respectfully, Wm. Biddle, Lieut. Colonel, Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army. A will without witnesses, date or signature was filed for probate in Los Angeles this week by J. C. Zimmerman of Anaheim, who declares the document to be the will of his nephew, Albert Zimmerman of Norwalk, who died Jan. 4. The instrument, which is said to be in the handwriting of the deceased, disposes of an estate valued at $61,000 among 40 relatives and friends, many of whom live in Switzerland. It originally was written in ink, but there are numerous changes made with a lead pencil. The merchants' association having met Monday afternoon to consider the same proposition and selected H. Stern and W. P. Quarton as a committee to secure the subscription demanded, Chairman Weisel appointed George Ross and Charles Eygabrod as a committee of two to act in conjunction with the merchants' committee. The company has secured an option on a 55-acre tract of land at the point where the Santa Fe railroad crosses the sandwash, and Mr. Pillsbury, representing the Pacific Electric, guarantees that his road will extend its line to this point if the factory is built. The consensus of opinion is that the factory is assured for Anaheim. Other towns have made more advantageous offers, but the company thinks Anaheim is the central point of a prolific beet territory, and is more interested in the permanent prosperity of the factory than in temporary advantages. A. A. Mills introduced the following resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, Supervisor Linebarger promised a committee of the Anaheim chamber of commerce that the Placentia road south from the end of East Center street would be graded through the district during the present winter and oiled during the summer; and Whereas, the grading has not yet been done; therefore be it Resolved, by the Anaheim chamber of commerce that Supervisor Linebarger be requested to fulfill the promise and have said road graded at once, and oiled as soon as possible.

A communication from the water conservation association advised that they had resumed the work of spreading water at the mouth of the Santa Ana canyon, since the recent rain; also that Mr. Richey had stopped the use of water about which they wrote some time ago. The association asked to be advised when we wished to have the spreading of the water discontinued. The superintendent was irstructed to notify them at the proper time. A communication from Chas.

The matter was referred to the ditch committee to report at next meeting. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted.

EBELL LADIES SEE PICTURES Scenes In France Illustrate Journey Through That Country The Ebell society was entertained by the travel section on Saturday, under leadership of Mrs. Spencer. The highschool was beautifully decorated by the committee competently assisted by Mrs. Gates. After the short business meeting the members of the section marched into the science room to the music of The Marsellia laise played by Mrs. Juny. A trip to Paris was the subject of a lecture read by four members, illustrated by stereopticon views. After this strenuous pursuit of knowledge the society and their friends were refreshed with delicious punch and wafers, while listening to a musical program rendered by Mrs. Falkenstein, Miss Rehwoldt and Mrs. Storm and Miss Juny. On Saturday afternoon and evening the Anaheim Temple of Pythian Ladies was instituted and officers installed.

At the afternoon meeting which was presided over by Past Chief Mrs. Mary Corbin, the local officers were elected. A sumptuous banquet was provided by the Anaheim ladies at the hall and at 6 o'clock members of the local order and their Los Angeles guests sat down to enjoy the repast.
