$40,000 BOND ISSUE ENDORSED FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETING FRIDAY EVENING FAVORS NEW BUILDING Matter of Site Will Not Be Considered Until After Bond Election—Oppose Building Addition to Central Building, and Favor Site to the Southwest — Proposed Playground on the East Unfit, According to School Board—To Build for Future The district meeting called by the school board for the purpose of taking some definite action on the muchly discussed expansion of the school facilities of Anaheim was called to order at 8 o'clock Friday evening by Mr. Chambers. The attendance was not so large as it should have been considering the importance of the subject to be discussed, but there were enough present to transact business and they speedily got to work by electing Otto Storm chairman. R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, was present, and was first called upon for an address. Mr. Mitchell said he was vitally interested in Anaheim—especially in her schools, he continued, the grounds were entirely too small. He favors an up-to-date building equal to the growth and importance of Anaheim. So far as the old building is concerned he thought if all the portable property, including books, could be saved, the town wouldn't lose much if a first-class fire should break out in it. Mr. Eygabroad favored a bond issue large enough to build, not only for the present but for the future. Anaheim is growing so rapidly, he said, that the future must be considered in such transactions, and it would be folly to build for today and be compelled to build again tomorrow. He also favors ample playgrounds. After some further discussion, all tending in the same direction, on motion of C. E. Jones, seconded by Eygabroad, the trustees were instructed to call a bond election for $40,000. The matter of a site is left in abeyance, and will not be considered until after the election. DEATH OF MRS. BROWNING Passes Away at Los Angeles Hospital After Surgical Operation Mrs. Cora Browning died at the Good Samaritan hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday evening at 6:15 o'clock, following the effects of a surgical operation for goitre sustained a week before. Funeral services were held in that city at 9:30 on Saturday morning. The remains were R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, was present, and was first called upon for an address. Mr. Mitchell said he was vitally interested in Anaheim—especially in her schools. Any proposition to enlarge or better the condition of schools, he said, always had his hearty approval and co-operation, and he favored a bond issue of at least $40,000. The selection of a site was of minor importance and could be determined afterward. The selection of a site previous to the election might defeat the bond issue as disappointed sections would probably work against it. Mr. Clabaugh, president of the board, replied that the trustees had not yet considered a site. The district, he said, extended from the sand wash on the north to four miles below the city on the south, and is also several miles wide. The center of the district is far to the west and he favored a site as near the center of population as possible. The first consideration, he said, was the bond issue, and the board would try to secure a satisfactory site. He asked that the people all pull together for the bonds. A. A. Mills said he believed that some misunderstanding existed somewhere. Some time ago, he said, a petition signed by more than a majority of the residents of the district had been presented to the board praying for the purchase of the block of ground east of the central building for a playground. That ground could still be purchased at a reasonable figure, and he advocated securing that and building an addition to the present building. If the people on the west, he continued, want an eighth grade school let them sever their connection with Anaheim and form a district of their own. He also favored building a primary school on the east side which would accommodate forty or fifty pupils. C. E. Holcomb thought the trustees had made a mistake in refusing to purchase the playground site east of the grammar school when it was offered them at a reasonable figure. He had been informed, he said, that the board was considering a site for a new building near the railroads and he believed that would prove very unanticipated. DEATH OF MRS. BROWNING Passes Away at Los Angeles Hospital After Surgical Operation Mrs. Cora Browning died at the Good Samaritan hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday evening at 6:15 o'clock, following the effects of a surgical operation for goitre sustained a week before. Funeral services were held in that city at 9:30 on Saturday morning. The remains were brought here on the 11:58 a.m train over the Santa Fe, and interment made in the local cemetery. Mrs. Browning was a well-known and popular resident of this section, and resided here many years. Recently she had been in ill health, and a fortnight since went to Los Angeles to undergo a surgical operation for goitre, which involved internal complications of the throat. She was unable to recover from the shock of the surgeon's knife, and gradually sank until she passed away as stated. The body was interred by the side of that of her husband who passed away some twelve years ago. Deceased leaves a daughter, Miss Helen Browning. She was the owner of a large orange grove west of town. ROBERT FISCHER DEAD Passed Away Monday Morning After Lingering Illness Robert E. Fischer, the youngest son of Mrs. Clara Fischer, died at the family home at the corner of Lemon and Chartres streets at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning. For several months he had been gradually declining in health and about two weeks ago was suddenly stricken with a severe attack of stomach complaint. From this he began to convalescence, but a couple of days previous to his death he contracted a severe cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia, and in his weakened condition he fell an easy victim. The funeral was held at the residence yesterday at 10 o'clock, Rev. Juny, of the Episcopal church, officiating, and the interment took place at the Anaheim cemetery. He was born in Anaheim September 1, 1889, making him 21 years and two months old. DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS Julia Ward Howe Tent Organized at form a district of their own. He also favored building a primary school on the east side which would accommodate forty or fifty pupils. C. E. Holcomb thought the trustees had made a mistake in refusing to purchase the playground site east of the grammar school when it was offered them at a reasonable figure. He had been informed, he said, that the board was considering a site for a new building near the railroads and he believed that would prove very unsatisfactory. He favored an ample bond issue. "The more money we spend on schools now," he said, "the less we will have to spend for penitentiaries in the future." Mr. Clabaugh replied that the tract referred to by Messrs. Mills and Holcomb was nothing but a bed of sand and the trustees considered it absolutely unfit for a playground. Mr. Schwenckert was opposed to adding to the present building as he thinks that eight rooms under one roof is enough. He favors securing a site to the southwest of the central school and erecting a new eight room building. Mr. Storm also went on record as opposed to adding to the old school building. He favors securing a site to the southwest and doing it immediately, as property is rapidly increasing in value, and it can be purchased cheaper now than a few months hence. Prof. Walker, of the high school, was somewhat radical in his views. It would be the height of folly, he thought, to build an addition to the old building, as, notwithstanding the amount spent upon it, you would still have nothing but an old out-of-date $8000 building after all. Besid- DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS Julia Ward Howe Tent Organized at Fullerton Monday The National Alliance of Daughters of Veterans organized in Fullerton on Monday, October 31, as Julia Ward Howe Tent No. 7. The members of Mary A. Logan Tent No. 3 did the floor work. Mrs. Lorena Leech was the instructing and installing officer.

The Orange delegation was met at the noon train and escorted to the Masonic hall, where a sumptuous luncheon was served. After a social hour the work of the day was performed. A scarcity of residences is felt in town, and several families were this week unable to procure homes. New families are arriving daily, and a house famine is reported by real-estate men. The funeral was held at the residence yesterday at 10 o'clock, Rev. Juny, of the Episcopal church, officiating, and the interment took place at the Anaheim cemetery.

This will give ample time for the publication of the notice of election as required by law, which was ordered published in the Gazette November 10th, 17th and 24th. The election will be held in the Central school building, and the polls will be open from 8 o'clock in the morning until sundown. The election board selected by the trustees are: Inspector, Fred C. Rimpau; Judges, Charles Eygabroad and C. E. Holcomb. J. C. METZGAR FOR TREASURER Popular Young Santa Ana Business Man Looks a Winner That J. C. Metzgar of Santa Ana, republican candidate for county treasurer, will have one of the biggest majorities on the ticket, is the opinion held by men who are in close touch with political affairs in this county. Mr. Metzgar proved his fitness by sweeping the county at the primaries, and his friends say that was only a sample of what he is going to do next Tuesday. He has been ten years a resident of Orange county, is a progressive young business man and popular on all sides. A vote for Metzgar for treasurer is a vote for a capable and deserving gentleman. Competent in every way to fill the office, he is entitled to the vote of every republican in the county. He should have his party’s undivided support. The Santa Ana Blade thus endorses his candidacy: "The candidacy of James C. Metzgar of Santa Ana for the republican nomination for treasurer is a popular one, and deservedly so. Mr. Metzgar is a bright young man whose business standing here is first-class. He has the full confidence of all who know him and the Blade is very glad indeed that his chances for the nomination are good. If nominated he will undoubtedly poll the full vote of his party on election day. It affords this newspaper pleasure to aid Mr. Metzgar." SENATOR BOYNTON OPPOSES AMENDMENT SOUND REASONS WHY PROPOSED TAX LAW SHOULD BE DEFEATED Evidence at Hand to Show Political Bureau Rushed Document to Print Before Giving Opponents Time In Which to Prepare Reply—An Appeal to the People by Man Who Points Out Defects in Measure—Sounds Timely Warning—Vote No Senator A. E. Boynton of Oroville, representing the Sixth district in the upper house of the legislature, has favored us with the following communication dealing with senate constitutional amendment No. 1. This nefarious measure was submitted to the voters of California at the election two years ago, and was defeated. The railroads and other special interests, which have ruled California for forty years, caused the measure to be re-enacted by the legislature last year, and it is now again before the people. We opposed it two years ago, and we say to the voters of Orange county that, even if they vote against none of the bad measures which they will find upon their ballot next Tuesday. The election will be held in the Central school building, and the polls will be open from 8 o'clock in the morning until sundown. The election board selected by the trustees are: Inspector, Fred C. Rimpau; Judges, Charles Eygabroad and C. E. Holcomb. The proposition is to issue $40,000 twenty year bonds, drawing 5 percent interest, and already, it is reported, applications have been received from would-be purchasers of the bonds. There is no doubt but they will be sold at a substantial premium. The question of a site will not be considered until after the election. Several suitable properties have been offered, but the board does not feel justified in fastening upon anything until the funds are available. Among other communications received by the board was a petition from the trustees requesting permission to run a sewer pipe through the primary school ground. The permission was granted with alacrity as it will give the school an outlet for its waste water. The clerk also read a letter from Mrs. McDonald of Tarleton, Nevada. She is anxious to place her two children in the Anaheim schools and wanted to know the rates of tuition. The clerk was instructed to inform her that education in Anaheim is free and if she would find a home for her children here they would be educated without money and without price. GROUND BROKEN TUESDAY Force of Men Engaged Upon Foundations for Sugar Factory Buildings Active operations began on Tuesday upon the new sugar factory buildings north of town, when a force of men was put to work upon the necessary excavations for the main building. A cement foundation 60x275 ft. for the main building will be constructed, and simultaneously work will begin upon the office building. As soon as the latter is completed, headquarters will be moved thither, in order to give the officials an opportunity of being on the ground during construction of the other building. The work of construction is under personal supervision of Engineer Edge, and Walter Trindle is superintendent of construction. The contractors are Charles Schindler & Son es his candidacy: "The candidacy of James C. Metzgar of Santa Ana, for the republican nomination for treasurer is a popular one, and deservedly so. Mr. Metzgar is a bright young man whose business standing here is first-class. He has the full confidence of all who know him and the Blade is very glad indeed that his chances for the nomination are good. If nominated he will undoubtedly poll the full vote of his party on election day. It affords this newspaper pleasure to aid Mr. Metzgar's candidacy because we believe him to be first-class material for a position of public trust. Just bear his name in mind when you go to fill out your ballot." The Santa Ana Register adds the following comment: "It is gratifying to the friends of J. C. Metzgar to note that his candidacy for county treasurer is meeting with much favor among the rank and file of the voters. Mr. Metzgar is young enough to be popular among young men and old enough not to be regarded as a boy by old men. He is genial and hearty in good fellowship, but thoroughly dignified and manly in every way. A first-class business-man of fine character and pleasing personality, Mr. Metzgar's friends claim that he will unquestionably be the next county treasurer." NEGRO LIFE IN THE SOUTH Miss Williams Entertains Large Audience at Auditorium A large audience assembled at the high school auditorium on Tuesday evening to hear Miss Williams in her rendition of songs and stories of Dixieland.

Miller's hall has serious measure was submitted to the voters of California at the election two years ago, and was defeated. The railroads and other special interests, which have ruled California for forty years, caused the measure to be renacted by the legislature last year, and it is now again before the people. We opposed it two years ago, and we say to the voters of Orange county that, even if they vote against none of the bad measures which they will find upon their ballot next Tuesday, they should rise in their might and smite this one. Let them bury it so deep that it will never be resurrected. Senator Boynton writes: Oroville, Oct. 27, 1910. Editor Gazette.-Section 1195 of the political code, as amended in 1909, provides that whenever the legislature shall propose a constitutional amendment it shall be accompanied by a statement for and against the same, and that the proposed amendment and the statements shall be printed and furnished by the secretary of state to the various county clerks of the state thirty days before the election at which the amendment is to be voted on. Constitutional amendment No. 1 was adopted by the legislature on the night of October 4, 1910, thirty-five days before the general election, which will be held November 8, 1910. The following day I was appointed by the president pro tem of the senate to prepare the argument in opposition to the adoption of said amendment. I was not notified of said appointment and learned of the same by accident only a few days ago. I am informed that the printers commenced running off the amendment on October 5th, the day of my appointment. No opportunity was offered to study the amendment, prepare an argument and file the same with the secretary of state in time to have it sent out with the amendment and the affirmative argument, which argument was prepared months in advance. Under the circumstances, I respectfully urge the newspapers of the state to place the enclosed statement, or such portions thereof, as may be deemed worthy, before their readers in order that some of the objections to this amendment may be known. Very truly yours, A. E. Boynton. 1. It is a leap in the dark. It substitutes for the present system of state taxation purely a theoretical plan, the effects of which are not understood by the people or its sponsors. 2. It is unnecessary. Every object YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The local branch of the association has reorganized for the year and hopes are held that a very successful year it may be. Miller's hall has been leased and is now being thoroughly cleaned and painted. The hall will provide facilities for indoor baseball, basketball, handball and gymnastic exercises, together with mass meetings and bible classes. It is planned to begin a class in the near future under the leadership of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles of which Mr. Hadden is one of the instructors. Mr. Douglas, the scout master, has already an organization of upwards of thirty boy scouts and more are showing interest. Through the kindness of Mrs. Cadman the association will control the team court next to the city hall. Mr. Culp, athletic director at the high school, has become vice president of the association, and will have charge of the athletics. A reception is to be given in the hall on Friday evening of this week to which every family of Anaheim is cordially invited. Come and meet Secretary Ludden and wife. County Auditor Lester was in town on Monday meeting friends and receiving assurances of success along the line. 1. It is a leap in the dark. It substitutes for the present system of state taxation purely a theoretical plan, the effects of which are not understood by the people or its sponsors. 2. It is unnecessary. Every object, except the separation of state and local taxes, can be accomplished under the present powers of the legislature. 3. It is too restrictive. Instead of minimum and maximum rates, to provide for future needs, the rates are fixed and are based on present needs only. To change the rates will require a two-thirds vote of the legislature. 4. It impairs California securities. It removes the tax on foreign securities purchased by banks and puts them on the same plane with local bonds, which are exempt from taxation. This would mean that the money from California banks would flow out of the state, when it is needed at home. 5. It would raise the interest rate. The proposed tax on banks would cause a reduction in their capital stock, and a diminution of the available money supply. Credit would be restricted to a proportion of a merchant's deposit, as is done in the east, and his business would suffer. 6. It would impair the safety of Boynton of Oroville, Sixth district in the legislature, has following commuwith senate constituNo. 1. This nefasis submitted to the ncia at the election and was defeated. The other special interests, California for forty measure to be relegislature last year, main before the peoit two years ago, the voters of Orange if they vote against measures which they are ballot next Tuesday. Tax on large reserve funds and undivided profits would cause the banks to distribute such funds as dividends, thereby weakening the stability of their institutions. The law could be easily evaded. Insurance companies and banks could easily acquire title to large property holdings to take advantage of the property exemption clause of the act. Such title, though legal, would be for purposes of evasion only, and the real owner would be granted options to repurchase. The state university fund would be repealed and the school fund impaired. The act of March 20, 1909, providing for a tax of 3 cents on each $100 for the maintenance and im provement of the state university would have to rely on the bounty of the state legislature for specific appropriations. The public school system would also be absolutely dependent upon the legislature for support. Municipal ownership would be rendered difficult, if not impossible. The withdrawal of vast valuations and the income of public service corporations through municipal ownership, would raise the tax rate on other corporations, who would work for the passage of state laws prohibiting public ownership of utilities. The plan has resulted in gross corruption and abuse in states having similar provisions. The notorious corruption and public subservience to corporation control in Pennsylvania.

Juarez whipped out a knife and slashed Garcia in the left breast above the heart, cutting a gash several inches deep and penetrating the lungs. The man fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

The plan has resulted in gross corruption and abuse in states having similar provisions. The notorious corruption and public subservience to corporation control in Pennsylvania and New York was rendered easy by a system of taxation very similar to the one proposed. 11. The fixed rate of the corporations affected is stated to be in lieu of all other taxes, state, county and municipal, whereas in other states, it is "in addition to other taxes." 12. The corporations would have no interest in keeping down county and municipal tax rates. The flat rate assessed against them would remain the same in spite of the increase in the tax rate to other persons. It can only be changed by a two-thirds vote of the legislature. The corporations would thus favor the extravagant expenditure of county and municipal funds for selfish purposes. BELL AND SPELLACY TALK Democratic Candidates Address Voters on Saturday Evening Theodore A. Bell, democratic candidate for governor, Timothy Spellacy, candidate for lieutenant governor, W. G. Irving for congress and Judge Bledsoe for the appellate judgeship, arrived in Anaheim on Saturday evening at 6 o'clock on a special train which made a trip around tile kite track during the day. Bell and Spellacy spoke to a large crowd at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Col. J. O. Royer introduced the speakers, referring to Bell as the next governor of California. Bell spoke for twenty minutes and said he would if elected take the public commissions of the state out of politics. He would appoint none but capable men, and said he would be under the influence of no political boss or machine. He said he had been fighting Herrin and the system the railroad boss stands for during the past sixteen years. He promised to reform the state textbook problem, to the end that parents of poor children would not be put to unnecessary expense in order to buy books before the old series had been gone through. Bell was troubled with a bearer voice having tion gang and were at work upon the track near the station when a fight occurred between them. Juarez whipped out a knife and slashed Garcia in the left breast above the heart, cutting a gash several inches deep and penetrating the lungs. The man fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. He called for water, and when his friends offered it he drank. After swallowing, it ran out of the wound, showing the knife had penetrated into the lower region of the throat. He was carried into the depot, where medical attention was given him. He was later removed to the county hospital, where he died on Saturday evening. Juarez ran west along the road leading to Carroll's nurseries. He plunged into the nursery grounds, crawling under the shrubbery and escaping from view. Agent W. G. Mason telephoned to Marshal Simpson who went to the scene of the fight in an auto. Accompanied by Mason, he went to the nurseries, and was guided by the actions of a cow, which stared with alarm at an object under the palm trees. Juarez was located, hauled out from under the palms and placed under arrest. He was taken to Santa Ana in the afternoon and locked up in jail on a charge of assault to murder. On Monday, his victim having died, the charge was changed to manslaughter. Mason says the Mexicans quarreled over their work. He does not know whether they had previously had trouble. A report prevailed in town after the cutting that Juarez attacked Garcia because the latter knew something about the Mexican now in jail at Long Beach charged with the murder of J. S. Ranus, an old man whose decomposed body was found there several days ago under a manure pile. He had been missing ten days. HATFIELD ATE CHICKEN Embers of Supper Fire Not Those of Desperado Salz A gentleman traveling in from Olinda some days ago met Floyd Hatfield walking on the highway toward the wells. Hatfield is being hunted by local officers for forging several checks on local business men two months ago. He eluded officers who were on his track the night of his crime, and has since successfully evaded arrest. He is believed to have gone into hiding somewhere in this vicinity. state out of politics.

He promised to reform the state textbook problem, to the end that parents of poor children would not be put to unnecessary expense in order to buy books before the old series had been gone through. Bell was troubled with a hoarse voice, having made fifteen speeches during the day. Spellacy spoke briefly, paying more attention to extolling the virtues of Bell than to any reference to himself. Both speakers were frequently applauded. The candidates and a number of local democrats boarded a special Santa Fe train after the meeting for Santa Ana, where a meeting was held later in the evening. Both Bell and Johnson rested in Los Angeles on Sunday, and on Monday both resumed their campaign working their way north. Each will speak in San Francisco and other towns up the coast this week. Johnson will close the campaign by speaking in the bay region, while Bell will devote several days to Napa and the cities of his home region.

A gentleman travelling in from Olinda some days ago met Floyd Hatfield walking on the highway toward the wells. Hatfield is being hunted by local officers for forging several checks on local business men two months ago. He eluded officers who were on his track the night of his crime, and has since successfully evaded arrest. He is believed to have gone into hiding somewhere in this vicinity. Some weeks ago Deputy Sheriff Cervantes and a posse of officers drove over from Santa Ana in two autos and went to Brookshurst, where they had been informed two men had eaten a hastily prepared supper in a walnut orchard. It was believed the men were Salz and Macias. Halting their autos a mile this side of the orchard, and extinguishing the lights, Cervantes and his men walked to the place, and found the embers of a smoldering fire, and near by the entrals and feathers of two chickens. One of the officers declared the imprints of two rifles could be seen at adjacent walnut trees, where the desperadoes had apparently stood their weapons while eating their evening meal. Hatfield told the man on the Olinda road that the supper fire had been left by him. The officers made a search of the orchard, but found no trace of the men they were looking after. J. C. Metzgar was in town from Santa Ana on Tuesday. Mr. Metzgar is the republican candidate for treasurer of Orange county, and will probably poll one of the largest votes on the ticket.
