CENSUS ENUMERATOR GIVEN ASSISTANCE GOOD ROADS, SLOGAN FOR ASSOCIATED CHAMBERS BANQUET Two Dozen New Chairs Purchased—Lack of Time to Complete work of Census Enumeration, Help is Volunteered—Large Delegations From Surrounding Towns Expected At Banquet—C. C. Chapman's resignation Regretted—Mail Order Business Deemed Detrimental to Town First on the list of business at the chamber of commerce meeting on Tuesday last was the report of President Weisel of the purchase of two dozen new comfortable chairs, and an extra effort will be made to have these seats filled by the general public on meeting nights. Director Mills brought up the matter of the limited time left for the census enumerator, Max Nebelung, to complete his work. The task is very tedious, and in view of the fact that other towns, through their chambers of commerce, have given a helping hand to their respective enumerators, Mills moved that the chairman be au- Director Mills brought up the matter of the limited time left for the census enumerator, Max Nebelung, to complete his work. The task is very tedious, and in view of the fact that other towns, through their chambers of commerce, have given a helping hand to their respective enumerators, Mills moved that the chairman be authorized to communicate with Mr. Nebelung and lend him any necessary assistance. Carried. The committee in charge of the associated chambers' banquet reported that prospects were good for a large attendance, and that delegations from all neighboring towns would be on hand to voice their sentiments in favor of good roads, which would be made the issue of the evening. C. C. Chapman's resignation from the board of highway commissioners was deeply regretted. Under existing conditions the northern end of the county, which pays two-fifths of the taxes, and furnishes a like proportion in voters, will have but one representative out of eight-five supervisors and three commissioners—to work for the good roads cause for this end of the county. All chambers are urged to give every assistance possible to attain their just rights. Chairman Weisel introduced the following resolution which met with approval and was adopted: Whereas, Many large eastern mall order houses are by means of alluring advertisements displayed in cheap papers and magazines, victimizing the public to a larger extent than is generally realized, and Whereas, The statements appearing in such advertisements are in the great majority of cases false and misleading; and the article actually delivered is invariably of cheap quality and inferior to the article advertised, therefore, be it Resolved, By the Anaheim chamber of commerce that we deplore the existence of this type of business and that we urge and advise the people to refrain from patronizing the same. A communication from the Fullerton chamber of commerce was read and endorsed, calling attention to the following letter sent the chamber of commerce of Los Angeles: Fullerton, April 13, 1910. To The Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles. Gentlemen:—The attention of this Roe Bertrand, E. R. Feuerborn, W. G. Hall, S. J. White, G. R. Murdock, G. E. Pillsbury, J. C. Garvey and the Los Angeles Trust & Savings bank, within the last year put in pumping plants at the Auburndale townsite and carried 250 inches of water to the Riverside Orange Heights tract, non-riparian land, and threaten to take 250 inches more. These defendants are those who bought La Sierra Rancho No. 2. E. L. Hazard, Corona Pumping Co., G. F. Cope, Charles Stansbury and Martha Marvin are pumping 200 inches from the Temescal creek to non-riparian lands, 400 feet higher than the creek. C. W. Rogers, L. V. W. Brown, Lottie Brown, Rogers Development Co. and Stearns Ranchos Co. are alleged to be taking 100 inches from the Colton basin and pumping it into the Jurupa canal. The Sunny Slope Land Co., Geo. H. Ianes and J. H. Barbour are complained of as using 250 inches on a 500-acre tract of non-riparian lands. The Citizens' Land & Water Co. of Bloomington, and the Mount Vernon Water Co. are said to have entered on Lytle creek with pumping plants. The Mutual Land & Water Co. of Rialto and W. P. Martin are the last defendants named. It is alleged that they are taking 100 inches from Lytle creek. The superior court is asked to give judgment declaring the plaintiffs owners of the flow of Temescal and Lytle creek as against the defendants, decreeing that the defendants have no right to divert water to non-riparian lands. The court is asked to enjoin the defendants against any such diversions. The alleged diversions are alleged to have been made during the last year or two in development schemes. The bringing of this suit is another step in the vigorous policy of protecting the water rights of the two Orange-county irrigating companies that take water from the Santa Ana river. WOMEN OF WOODCRAFT MEET Lauerranstina Circle, Women of Woodcraft, paid Anaheim circle a visit last Friday evening. Luncheon was served at the Masonic hall, after which lodge was called by the visiting neighbors.

A communication from the Fullerton chamber of commerce was read and endorsed, calling attention to the following letter sent the chamber of commerce of Los Angeles: Fullerton, April 13, 1910. To The Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles. Gentlemen:—The attention of this chamber has been called to the unsightly rubbish dump that greets all travelers who approach your city over the Santa Fe railway from the south, and as the new Fullerton cutoff will soon divert all of the eastern travel to this line, and believing that the most favorable first impressions should be given to our visitors, we would respectfully call your attention to this nuisance and the tailow rendering factory adjacent to this dump, and request that your chamber of commerce take such action as you may deem best to remedy the existing condition, assuring you that we are in sympathy with every move that is for the betterment of Southern California. Yours very truly, H. J. Wyman, secretary. Through an oversight the last annual dues for associated chambers, which had been ordered paid some time previous, had not been remitted. The unintentional delinquency was ordered attended to immediately. County Clerk Williams, Deputy Joe Burke and others were over from Santa Ana some evenings ago attending a meeting of the local republican club. Mr. Williams said the outlook for republican victory this fall was good all along the line. WOMEN OF WOODCRAFT MEET Lauerranstina Circle, Women of Woodcraft, paid Anaheim circle a visit last Friday evening. Luncheon was served at the Masonic hall, after which lodge was called by the visiting neighbors. Miss Mable Gade, Mrs Henry Meiser and Miss Maude Wonderle were initiated into the mysteries of the order. Mrs. Crawford and her loyal guards assisted by the other members of the Los Angeles circle did the work. After lodge ice cream and cake were served. The visitors returned to their homes in the Angelic city in the early morning. Two divorces were granted Saturday by Judge Z. B. West, the first being that of Ruby Carmack from J. P. Carmack, who was given an interlocutory decree by default, defendant not making an appearance in court to contest the application. The other case was that of Dolores Cardenas, wife of Joe Cardenas, an El Modena Mexican who served a term at San Quentin recently for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to murder. Cardenas was shown to have attacked his daughter with an axe and threatened to kill her, and on this charge was tried and convicted. He has completed his term in the penitentiary but his wife does not care to live with him longer and has therefore applied for and has been granted a divorce. Max Nebelung reports that his duties as census enumerator for this city are so great that he has asked the census supervisor for help. Mr. Nebelung is working night and day to keep up with the procession. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1910 MRS. MARSHALL ACCUSES DR. ADAMS DOCTOR REPLIES ACCUSATIONS ARE ATTEMPT AT BLACK-MAIL Woman Sues for $10,000 Damages, Alleging Ostepath Took Improper Liberties — Latter States Charges Aim at His Ruination—Full Story to Come Out in Superior Court—A Sensational Case Expected Alleging that he has ruined her life, Mrs. Frances M. Marshall of this city has begun suit for $10,000 damages against Dr. Walker W. Adams, an osteopathic physician of this city. The complaint in the case was filed in the county clerk's office on Saturday. The complaint alleges a long period of mistreatment, beginning in July, 1905, at Santa Paula. It is stated in the complaint that at that time the physician, while treating the woman in his office, which was in the house occupied by the woman and her husband and three children, forced his attentions upon her, and declared he would perjure himself to lay the WILL DEPART FOR EAST Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Jones Will Live in Suburb of Philadelphia T. J. Jones and wife leave this week for Center Square, a suburb of Philadelphia, where they will take up their permanent residence. Mr. and Mrs. Jones have resided in this section many years, during all of which time they have been held in the highest esteem by their friends and associates. Mr. Jones was a number of years ago honored by election to the state senate from the district comprising Orange and Riverside counties and represented his district ably and well. He resided for a long time on his ranch at Garden Grove, and was frequently seen upon our streets. Of recent years he has been a resident of Huntington Beach, and his visits to Anaheim have been infrequent. Senator Jones first came prominently into local notice fifteen years ago, when the farmers of this section sought to organize a co-operative sugar factory. After the enterprise was well on its way to success, several outside schemers secured hold of the enterprise and were using it to advance their own private interests. Mr. Jones was among the first to discover the rottenness, and was not afraid to speak out in meeting concerning it. The corporation had gone ASSEMBLYMAN TRANSUE ANSWERS HICHBORN FLOOR LEADER OF THE ASSEMBLYPUTS SCRIBBLER IN A HOLE Mr. Drew, Who Fathered the Sanford Bill In the Assembly, and Was Asked to Submit Amendments for Bristow Strikeouts, Failed to Produce Them—Was Personal Friend Of Bristow, and Wanted Latter's Name to Appear in Sanford Resolution Assemblyman J. P. Transue of Los Angeles, floor leader of the assembly of 1909, and member of the joint committee and of the free conference dealing with the Sanford-Bristow-Drew resolution, was in town on Saturday afternoon, and gave a concise statement of Mr. Hichborn's charge against Speaker Stanton, that the latter opposed the endorsement of a federal line of vessels in the last legislature. "The statement of Mr. Hichborn is absurd," said Mr. Transue, "for the vote in the assembly on the final passage of the bill was unanimous. Mr. Hichborn does not deny this." The complaint in the case was filed in the county clerk's office on Saturday. The complaint alleges a long period of mistreatment, beginning in July, 1905, at Santa Paula. It is stated in the complaint that at that time the physician, while treating the woman in his office, which was in the house occupied by the woman and her husband and three children, forced his attentions upon her, and declared he would perjure himself to lay the blame onto her should she make known his crime. The complaint alleges that immediately afterward Mrs. Marshall started to tell her husband, Henry Marshall, of the matter, when Marshall flew into a rage, charged his wife with being in love with the physician, shook her and bruised her. Several months later Mrs. Marshall, after being ordered from home by her husband, alleging cruelty, secured a divorce. By threatening to expose her in Santa Paula, where she was highly respected, Adams is alleged to have compelled the woman to move to Los Angeles to be near him. There she entered the Osteopathic medical college in September, 1906. Fearing more mistreatment, the woman secretly moved from Los Angeles, to Santa Paula, back to Los Angeles, to Garden Grove to San Diego, to South Kansas City, Mo., the first four moves being made to avoid the man. Each time, according to the complaint, her whereabouts were discovered by the physician, and threats of exposure followed, and by fear the woman was kept within the power of the man. The woman asserts that she is broken in health by reason of her long continued fear, worry and mistreatment. The complaint alleges that the man assured her that she was but one of many respected and pure women that he had mistreated, that he selected that class by reason of the fact that fear of disgrace kept them from revealing their wrongs. The complaint states that no one but her daughter, Ada, was informed of the wrongs alleged until the plaintiff went to her attorney for the purpose of bringing suit. SAYS IT IS BLACKMAIL Dr. Adams States Object of Woman Is to Ruin Him Dr. W. W.

ET of a reason after visiade,ude the cards of work The complaint states that no one but her daughter, Ada, was informed of the wrongs alleged until the plaintiff went to her attorney for the purpose of bringing suit. SAYS IT IS BLACKMAIL Dr. Adams States Object of Woman Is to Ruln Him Dr. W. W. Adams said, in speaking of Mrs. Marshall's complaint against him, that it was purely an attempt to blackmail him and ruin his business standing in the community. Further than this, he would not talk for publication, admitting that he had known Mrs. Marshall for several years past. Dr. Adams has been a resident of this section for many years, and for a number of years has practiced his profession, which is that of an osteopathic physician. He is a successful practitioner, and has stood well in the community. His friends will suspend judgment until the case is tried in court, when the entire proceedings will be made public. RED AND GREEN LIGHTS Nightwatchman to Be Informed If Trouble Is Brewing Marshal Simpson has inaugurated a new system dealing with disturbances of the peace at night. Should any such occur, citizens will ring up the central telephone stations, and colored lights will be displayed at the center of Center and Los Angeles streets. The watchman will immediately investigate. Citizens are requested to notify central immediately. Sunset will turn on a red switch, the Home a green, and the nightwatch will do the rest. HANDSOME STAR Marshal Simpson is wearing a hand-some sterling silver star, appropriately inscribed, which is a gift of his friends. Some months ago he was surprised on returning home after a hard day's work to find the house filled with a party of guests at dinner. It was his birthday, and this was the means Mrs. Simpson and a party of friends took to surprise him. The guests resolved that if their favorite candidate was elected marshal they would present him with a star. The election came, Simpson won out, the guests dug up and now he is wearing it. Those present at the dinner were O. Lagman, Capt. Williams, Wm. Chambers, Fred C. Rimpau, Ed. Pegel, Joseph Helmsen, J. B. Rea. A blockade of rigs and autos blocked Center street on Saturday evening, and drivers had to exercise caution to extricate themselves from the crush. Crowds of people lined the sidewalk, and extra clerks were on duty at stores and shops. Recently introduced bills in congress appropriating $10,000,000 for the establishment of this line of vessels. We were not opposed to the ships. We only opposed endorsing a report made by Bristow, which was said to have contained some reference to a line of federal steamers—we did not know what that reference really was. "The whole thing was a piece of petty democratic politics. The senate passed the bill over to us, well knowing it would be attended to in the assembly. It was given little consideration in the senate, but we had no difficulty in discovering its purpose when it reached the assembly. "The Sanford resolution came to the assembly on January 26 (assembly journal p. 274). It was referred to committee, and on February 16 (assembly journal p. 630) it came up on a motion to take it up out of order for consideration. A point of order was made that such action could not be made except by unanimous consent, and the bill went over until the next day. "On February 17 (assembly journal p. 764) the bill came up under regular order of business, on the consideration of senate business.Johnson moved an amendment, striking out reference to Bristow, and substituting the names of Flint and McLachlan. Tinie having expired, the bill went over until the following day. On February 18 (assembly journal p. 772) the bill came up for consideration. By this time it had been noised about the capital that a fight was on, and considerable interest was manifested in the bill. Mr. Drew, who fathered the bill in the assembly, was asked to prepare substitutions for the Bristow AZETTE 28. 1910 NUMBER 28 HYMAN TRANSUE OWERS HICHBORN ORDER OF THE ASSEMITS SCRIBBLER IN A HOLE To Fathered the Sanford Assembly, and Was Askt Amendment for Brisits, Failed to Produce Personal Friend Of Wanted Latter's Name in Sanford Resolution J.

This was during the discussion of the report of the joint committee, of which I was a member. Drew was also a member of this committee. I told him we had no objection to a line of federal vessels, but on the contrary favored them heartily. I told him explicitly to bring out the line of federal ships in his amendment and we would all agree with him. He was fathering the bill in the assembly, and it was not my place to amend his own measure, at least not until such time as he had failed to do so. This he agreed to do, but when the report of the joint committee was being considered (assembly journal p. 772) he failed to submit these amendments. He seemed disposed to permit the whole matter to go over to a free conference, in the hope that Bristow's name might be permitted to remain. It seemed to be Bristow or nothing with him. We were for the federal vessels, but we felt that when passing out credit we should give it to our own representatives, who had introduced bills in congress establishing them, rather than to a man in Kansas who was said to have made a report to the President, the contents of which we did not know. When, therefore, Drew failed to produce these amendments the whole thing HICHBORN'S CHARGES PETTY QUIBBLING SPEAKER STANTON'S RECORD RIGHT ON FEDERAL SHIPS BILL Stood for Amended Report of Joint Committee, Striking Out Reference to Bristow and His Unsupported "Allegations," and Inserting Clear-Cut and Positive Request for Federal Vessels on Pacific Coast — Hichborn Long on Strike-Outs, but Short on Substitutions—The Facts We are in receipt of a lengthy communication from Franklin Hichborn, under date Santa Clara, April 11, in which he reiterates the alto-gether unfounded charge against Speaker Stanton, made in his book and since industriously circulated by the Lincoln-Roosevelt newspapers, that he voted against the federal line of ships bill in the last legislature.

We were for the federal vessels, but we felt that when passing out credit we should give it to our own representatives, who had introduced bills in congress establishing them, rather than to a man in Kansas who was said to have made a report to the President, the contents of which we did not know. When, therefore, Drew failed to produce these amendments the whole thing went over to a free conference. The bill was remodeled, the reference to Bristow was stricken out, Flint and McLachlan's names substituted, and the bill passed unanimously, as you have already printed it. "I note that Hichborn says that because no substitutions appeared at this time, that therefore Speaker Stanton was opposed to the line of federal vessels. But the omissions of such substitutions was attributable to Mr. Drew and no one else. He was in charge of the bill in the house. He was the man to prepare the amendments to his own bill and it was expected of him that he would have these substitutions ready to be voted upon, but he failed to produce them. "Drew is a friend of Bristow, and desired Bristow's eulogy to remain in the bill. We wanted the credit to go to our own senator and congressmen, Flint and McLachlan, who had just introduced bills in congress appropriating $10,000,000 for establishing this line of ships. "The matter went finally to a free conference, and the bill was reported with Bristow's name, and his report which no one in the assembly ever saw, stricken out, and Flint's and McLachlan's names substituted. A ringing resolution in favor of federal ships was passed by the assembly unanimously March 16 (assembly journal p. 1433.)" "The reference to Pacific Mail was stricken out because, first, it was "alleged" in Bristow's report, and, second, no one in the assembly ever saw the report. "There is nothing in these resolutions so stricken out which refers to a line of federal ships. We were not opposed to these ships—we favored them, but we thought that instead of endorsing Bristow and his report, and nobody knew what it contained, we should give credit to Flint and McLachlan." The charge that Speaker Stanton opposed the federal line of ships is based by the Hichborn critics upon born, under date Santa Clara, April 11, in which he reiterates the altogether unfounded charge against Speaker Stanton, made in his book and since industriously circulated by the Lincoln-Roosevelt newspapers, that he voted against the federal line of ships bill in the last legislature. We have hitherto shown that this charge is false, and we do so again in this article with somewhat more particularity. Of the five charges which Mr. Hichborn makes against Speaker Stanton, we have already shown that in four of the votes criticised the speaker has the support of republican voters of the state. These are his votes in support (1.) of the Party Circle bill, (2.) against the Non-Partisan Judiciary bill, (3.) in favor of Assemblyman Leeds' amendment to Direct Primary bill, and (4) his vote upon the temporary rules of the assembly. The speaker is also accused of voting wrong in denying second reading to the bill abolishing the Party Circle. This charge is identical with his vote in support of the Party Circle bill, and one stands as fellow with the other. The Party Circle bill was introduced in the legislature seven years ago by Mr. Stanton. In the last legislature he resisted an effort to abolish it. Eight years ago Judge Shaw of Los Angeles ran 47,000 votes behind Judge Angelotti for member of the supreme court. There was no opposition in the republican party to Judge Shaw, who is one of the ablest and purest-minded jurists in the state. There was nothing in the judge's record that would tempt a single republican to vote against him, yet in a state more evenly balanced politically he would have been defeated, owing to the negligence and the apathy of the voters. Moreover, in electing candidates for Presidential elector, it is well known that the first elector upon the ticket runs thou sands of votes ahead of the lower electors for this self-same reason. It is hard to explain, yet this is a fact of current political history. The Party Circle does away with this riddle of our politics. Yet voters need not avail themselves of it. They may ignore it, if they so desire. Again, the Party Circle appears over the democratic column, the socialist column, the prohibition column, as well as the republican column. Each voter may use it if he wishes, or he may stamp his ticket as though the Party Circle did not appear upon the ballot. It was a democratic device to abrogate it. The speaker stood by his bill, defended it in face of con- There is nothing in these resolutions so stricken out which refers to a line of federal ships. We were not opposed to these ships—we favored them, but we thought that instead of endorsing Bristow and his report, and nobody knew what it contained, we should give credit to Flint and McLachlan." The charge that Speaker Stanton opposed the federal line of ships is based by the Hichborn critics upon the fact that in the assembly record on page 772 nothing is said about such ships. Mr. Transue explains why no such amendments appeared. Mr. Drew ought to be able to tell why he did not have the same prepared, but because they were not submitted furnishes insufficient ground for the charge that the speaker opposed the federal vessels, when as a matter of fact, on the final passage of the bill through the house, the vote in its favor was unanimous. That was the first time the bill was in complete form since its advent into the house, and the speaker and all other members voted in its favor. PARENT-TEACHERS The next regular meeting of the parent-teacher's association will be held at the central school building on Tuesday, May 3, at 3 o'clock. It is the day for election of officers for the ensuing year. Miss Ames will have entire charge of the programme, it being the musical afternoon. The children will entertain the association with songs they have learned during the year. Kindly invite any friend whom you know to be interested in child life to come with you. The Non-Partisan Judiciary bill, upon which Mr. Hichborn lays such especial stress, was the joke of the last legislature. Speaker Stanton is a real supporter of a non-partisan judiciary—the favors, and has publicly declared his views many times, that he favors the election of judges for life, as is done on the federal bench and in Massachusetts. A bill which requires their election every four years, and which throws their names into a polyglot political column to shift for themselves, he opposes. In this county, for instance, the bill, had it been operative four years ago, would have thrown Judges Sloss, Lorigan and Henshaw into the political discard column, and given S. O. Walker, the railroad mechanician, with his pockets stuffed with Southern Pacific passes for voters minded that way; the benefit of the circle and the republican column. Two years ago it would have thrown Judge West—as able and pure-minded a jurist as ever lived, into the discard, while granting Miguel Estudillo, who dodged a vote on the Reciprocal Demurrage bill and changed his vote at command of
