MANY MORE PROTESTS BUT NO ONE EXCLUDED STANTON INCORPORATION ELECTION SET FOR TUESDAY, MAY 23 Delegation of Property-Owners Ask to Be Excluded, Supervisors Rule Time for Final Hearing Passed, Bitter Resentment Felt—Protestants Said to Number Sixty—Seventy-five Excluded at Previous Meeting—Population of Proposed Town Is 753—Candidates Out With Petitions A delegation of a score or more property-owners living within the boundaries of the proposed incorporation of Stanton, all of them protesting against inclusion in the municipality, appeared before the supervisors on Friday morning when time arrived for resuming consideration of plans for forming the new town. H. C. Lawrence of West Broadway whose land is included in the townsite, said after the meeting that sixty property-owners, most of them voters, had signed protest against inclusion, in addition to the 75 set out at the hearing a week before. This totals 135 property-owners who protestedtain and determine the exterior boundaries of the incorporation, that thereafter a census must be taken and an election called. He said the boundaries had been definitely decided upon and an enumeration of people taken. The supervisors could not reopen the case. Last week's hearing was final. Assistant District Attorney Koetsel was appealed to by Chairman Talbert, who said a solemn legal responsibility rested upon the board. Mr. Koetsel looked up the law, but what he said in reply no one could tell in the crowded room. His opinion in the matter was a sealed mystery, deep, dank and impenetrable. County Clerk Williams came manfully to the rescue of the youthful assistant district attorney. Williams was in the long ago assistant district attorney, when his brother occupied that office, and he knows how it is himself. Turning to his minutes of the week before, Williams read the proceedings of the board, from which it appeared the action of the board was tied up so tight that there was no reopening of the case this side the judgment day. The books showed, according to Williams' historical record, that the action of the board was final, and that saltpeter couldn't save the protesting property-owners. Mr. Murphy said all this legal op ing against inclusion in the municipality, appeared before the supervisors on Friday morning when time arrived for resuming consideration of plans for forming the new town. H. C. Lawrence of West Broadway whose land is included in the townsite, said after the meeting that sixty property owners, most of them voters, had signed protest against inclusion, in addition to the 75 set out at the hearing a week before. This totals 135 property-owners who protested against the new town since the beginning of the westsiders to defeat this city's purpose to maintain a sewer farm on the Gilbert ranch. None of the sixty protestants were excluded. Each left the courthouse with bitter resentment toward the incorporators. Those who spoke for the protestants were E. B. Murphy, H. C. Lawrence, C. E. Douglas and John Elbinger. At opening of the hearing Mr. Murphy arose and said he had signed a protest to inclusion of twenty acres belonging to him in section 7, which lies in the northeast corner of the townsite, in the Brookshurst section. He had not been informed of the meeting the week before, or he should have been present asking that his land be excluded. He added that he wished to protest at this time to being included. No advantage would accrue to him by the new town. His business dealings were in Anaheim, and he was nearer this city than the center of the proposed town. He asked in justice to his desires that he be excluded. Attorney Hanlon, representing the incorporators, maintained that the hearing of the 6th inst. was final and that the board had not the power to exclude other property. The exterior boundaries had at that time been approved, and if that meeting was not final, no meeting could be final, so long as property-owners appeared to ask for exclusion. A census of the proposed incorporation had been taken, and if new boundaries were permitted another census would be necessary. Moreover the exclusion of additional territory might tend to decrease the population of the town below the legal requisite. H. C. Lawrence said he understood that the census enumerators had made up a list of inhabitants according to lines already submitted, and also for such part of the town as would remain after property of the protestants had been excluded. C. E. Douglas said the enumerators turned against inclusion in the municipality, appeared before the supervisors on Friday morning when time arrived for resuming consideration of plans for forming the new town.

Lawrence said he understood that the census enumerators had made up a list of inhabitants according to lines already submitted, and also for such part of the town as would remain after property of the protestants had been excluded. C. E. Douglas said the enumerators had not been at his house at all. Attorney Hanlon, who had matters his own way as was the case at the hearing the week before, said it was not necessary for enumerators to visit every house in the townsite. He maintained that really no census was necessary at all. The supervisors, he said, could accept an affidavit of a resident as to its population, and even this was not necessary. He read from the law showing that the board must "ascertain and determine" the population. This could be done, he declared, by accepting the word of any one competent to say what the population approximately was. E. K. Muller, one of the enumerators, said he had gone to Mr. Douglas' house and had found him absent. Mr. Douglas—I would like to know what the enumerator placed the number of my family at? Mr. Muller (looking over his papers:)—Four. Mr. Douglas—You're wrong. Mr. Muller—(turning to glance at Mr. Douglas)—Pardon me, I thought you were Mr. Lawrence. Your enumeration is 7. Mr. Douglas—You're wrong again. Attorney Hanlon came to Muller's rescue with more law. He said the board at its final hearing must ascert- Leaders In Incorporation Will Hold The Offices A meeting of residents of the proposed town was held at Magnolia schoolhouse on Thursday evening, when the following named gentlemen were named as candidates for city officers: City Trustees—F.

Westsiders are splitting into two camps, each bitterly arraigned against the other. The first includes incorporation promoters, led by Phil Stanton, and they express bitterness against the purpose of this city to outfall its sewer on the 73-acre Gilbert ranch.

Forty-five gaily decorated autos, bearing streamers with the words, "Anaheim Merchants Association," and flags waving from each machine, started from the post-office promptly at 9 o'clock. Two hundred enthusiastic boosters filled the cars, and hearty good cheer and good fellowship was apparent everywhere. Before departure, Crowther's cadet band discoursed music, and twenty-five singers of the Concordia enlivened the occasion with vocal selections. It was a day long to be re- CANNERY WANTS FRUITS Peaches, Apricots, Berries and Tomatoes in Demand E. A. Taylor of the Orange County Preserving Company was in town on Monday, having come down from Los Angeles to look after signing contracts for fruits and vegetables for the coming season. Mr. Taylor recently returned from a trip to Boston, where he was at the time of the warehouse fire which came near destroying his cannery-building. As a mark of appreciation for efforts on the part of the fire department in saving his property he forwarded a check for $25 to Manager Gambers with instructions to turn it over to the department. This Mr. Chambers promptly did. Mr. Taylor is in the market for 800 tons of tomatoes, and is offering $7.50 per ton, which is 50 cents higher than prices ruling last season. He also desires to contract for peaches, apricots and berries, and offers fancy prices for high-grade fruit. He would also go extensively into canning string beans and green corn if these vegetables could be raised in sufficient quantities to justify the venture. "I could sell 100,000 cases of green corn in a day if I had them," he said; "but no green corn is grown in Sou- NO PROGRASTINATION IN WORK ON SEWERS AMES AND STEWARD INSTRUCTED TO SECURE RIGHT OF WAY City Trustees in Adjourned Meeting Decide to Carry Through Present Plans—J. H. Adams & Co. Accept Conditions and Get Sewer Bonds—George E. Dutton Appointed Deputy City Clerk—Three Building Permits Granted at Board Meeting An adjourned session of the City Trustees was held on 'Monday evening for the purpose of considering certain matters laid over Thursday evening and certain other matters which needed attention. The sewer farm muddle, the most important thing the board is called upon to wrestle with these days, was discussed from all points and sides, and it was decided that there was only one course open to the trustees, and that was to continue with the plans already formulated. City Attorney Ames and Engineer Steward were therefore instructed to continue the work of securing a right of way for the outfall sewer. ly decorated autos, bearing streamers with the words, "Anaheim Merchants Association," and flags waving from each machine, started from the post-office promptly at 9 o'clock. Two hundred enthusiastic boosters filled the cars, and hearty good cheer and good fellowship was apparent everywhere. Before departure, Crowther's cadet band discoursed music, and twenty-five singers of the Concordia enlivened the occasion with vocal selections. It was a day long to be remembered in Anaheim, and on all sides words of praise were spoken in behalf of the enterprise of the association for arranging the trip and conducting it to such splendid termination. John W. Duckworth was in personal charge of the party, and piloted it successfully from start to finish. At Magnolia and Savannah school children waving banners were lined up and gave the party welcome. A number of citizens of each locality were present, giving the boosters evidences of their friendliness and cooperation. Los Alamitos was reached at 10. Here H. G. Ames spoke in behalf of the visitors. Reply was made by H. C. Lawrence. A visit was paid the sugar factory, and an inspection was made of the mill. Cypress was passed at 10.45. Buena Park was reached at 11. Judge Howard acquitted himse' creditably in a neat address. Dr. Hasson extended the freedom of the city. School children were out, and a large number of Buena Park's leading citizens extended welcome. On all sides were evidences of prosperity. The party passed through miles of rich beet fields and dairy farms. La Habra was reached at 12.30. Charles Eygabroad spoke in well-chosen words in behalf of the merchants On the way to Olinda the party passed through the oilfields, with hundreds of derricks on every hand. The oil city was reached at 1.30. Here a large crowd was out to welcome the invading hosts. Dinner was served by the ladies of the city. With sharpened appetites the throng fell in an assault upon the victuals. The word was passed around that never was such a tempting repast placed before mortals, and that never was such a hungry lot of boosters turned loose upon tables groaning under their weight of good things. H. S. Hadsell was spokesman for the party. MRS. HOLMAN LOSES JEWELRY Former Resident of This City Robbed in Los Angeles The loss of about $6000 worth of jewels from the home of Mrs. A. E. Holman of No. 1521 Western avenue, Los Angeles, who formerly resided in Anaheim, seems to have mysterious features. The jewelry was kept in two satchels, one of which also contained valuable papers. The latter apparently were not disturbed, but the gems, consisting of broaches, ear rings and thirteen rings, were abstracted. The robbery was discovered last Friday and on Monday Mrs. Holman reported the matter to the police department which needed attention. The sewer farm muddle, the most important thing the board is called upon to wrestle with these days, was discussed from all points and sides, and it was decided that there was only one course open to the trustees, and that was to continue with the plans already formulated. City Attorney Ames and Engineer Steward were therefore instructed to continue the work of securing a right of way for the outfall sewer. A communication from J. H. Adams & Co., whose bid for the $90,000 sewer bonds was accepted at Thursday night's meeting, was received. All conditions imposed by the trustees were accepted by the bond buyers, and the award of the bond issue to that firm was confirmed. The appointment of George E. Dutton as deputy city clerk and ex-officio tax collector, was confirmed by the board. He will serve during the months of May, June, July and August, and assist with the tax roll. J. J. Malone, representing the Hartford insurance company, submitted his report of the inspection at the power house relative to the installation of a new boiler, and his report was accepted. Engineer Lewis was instructed to prepare and submit an inventory of all material at the old power house plant. Also to have all needed repairs on the roof made. The city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for material for the roofing. Building permits were granted as follows: To N. B. Tedford, contractor, a garage on South Lemon street. Cost $150. To F. A. Backs, alteration of front of his store room on North Los Angeles street. Cost $1000. To the Anaheim Truck and Transfer company, frame barn on South Los Angeles street. Cost $3000. Warrants were ordered drawn on the treasurer for the following: To Henry Hussman, for a strip of land widening the alley south of Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, $540.94. For interest on bond, $13.50. The clerk was instructed to order a carload of crude oil from the Associated oil company for use on the streets and roads. The petition of John Resh and others for an extension of the water main from its terminus on Olive St. to South, thence along South to their residences was again laid over for come the invading hosts. Dinner was served by the ladies of the city. With sharpened appetites the throng fell in an assault upon the victuals. The word was passed around that never was such a tempting repast placed before mortals, and that never was such a hungry lot of boosters turned loose upon tables groaning under their weight of good things. H. S. Hadsell was spokesman for the party. Yorba was reached at 3 o'clock. Here another genuine welcome awaited the caballeros. Homer Ames made a short address in behalf of the visitors. Through orange and walnut plantations the autos headed their way to Placentia, which was reached at 4.30. The party was welcomed by Postmaster Jayne. Judge Howard responded in a neat address. A visit was made through the new packing houses, which this season are shipping 800 cars of fine oranges to market. Fullerton was reached at 5.30. A crowd of several hundred citizens greeted the joy riders. The neighboring city did itself proud in welcoming the party. Charles Eygabroad spoke for the visitors. With many handshakes and goodbyes the homeward trip was taken up. This city was reached shortly after 6. The autos made an imposing site coming up the street four abreast. As on the occasion of the first joy ride, Crowther's cadet band discoursed music at each stopping place, and the Concordia singers also added much to make the trip successful by (Continued on Page Eight) Holman of No. 1521 Western Avenue, Los Angeles, who formerly resided in Anaheim, seems to have mysterious features.

The latter apparently were not disturbed, but the gems, consisting of broaches, ear rings and thirteen rings, were abstracted. The robbery was discovered last Friday and on Monday Mrs. Holman reported the matter to the police department. Detectives have since been working on the case, and it is believed that an arrest may be shortly made. Mrs. Holman, who has been sick, is now completely unnerved. She states that she would rather have given the jewels to the thief than have been subjected to the worry of a mysterious robbery. The articles taken have been in her possession for years and aside from their value, are regarded in the light of heirlooms. The satchels were kept in a trunk. It is thought that having frequently worn them, the thief spotted her and taking advantage of an opportunity when no one was around, stole into her room and abstracted them. Mrs. Holman, who is said to be wealthy, has been a resident of Los Angeles several years. At last accounts she was on the verge of nervous prostration. NINETY DAYS IN JAIL Frank Pratt was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail by Judge Hasson of Buena Park on Tuesday for the theft of a purse containing $5.85. Pratt's wife this week began suit for divorce from him, To Henry Mansfield land widening the alley south of Center street, between Los Angeles and Lemon, $540.94. For interest on bond, $13.50. The clerk was instructed to order a carload of crude oil from the Associated oil company for use on the streets and roads. The petition of John Resh and others for an extension of the water main from its terminus on Olive St. to South, thence along South to their residences, was again laid over for future consideration. J. D. Heltshusen's application for a two-inch water pipe connection with his new rooming house on Hermine street, half the cost of which he desires the city to pay, was also tabled for future reference. YOUNG COUPLE WEDDED Guy H. Fish and Miss Ella Daniels Married on Sunday A quiet wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Westerman on Easter Sunday. Miss Ella Daniels and Guy H. Fish, both of Los Angeles, were united in marriage by Rev. F. A. Ziegler. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Daniels of West Rialto, and a niece of Mrs. Westerman. She was attired in white and carried a large bouquet of white carnations. The groom is the son of Rev. and Mrs. Fish of Ohio. The room was tastefully decorated with roses, callas and smilax. After the ceremony a delicious luncheon was served. After much merriment the happy couple left in the evening for their home in Los Angeles. RUDDOCK HAS SAIZ IN JAIL Goes to Ensenada for Him, Returns With Him Tuesday Sheriff Charley Ruddock slipped out of the country quietly on Saturday, bound for Ensenada, Lower California, where Rosario Saiz is in jail on a charge of murder. Ruddock will ask the Mexican authorities to order Saiz's deportation, he being an American citizen, having registered here many years ago. Ruddock's departure was made quietly. At San Diego the argus-eyed reporter located him, and the story was out when he boarded a vessel for Ensenada. Ruddock knows Saiz as an all-round murderer and desperado, who has made his brag that he will never again be taken into custody by an American officer. Saiz is a handy man with a gun, but Ruddock is a better one. In a gun play Saiz would have nothing on Ruddock. Saiz is wanted here for murder. He escaped from the county jail in October, by overpowering former Sheriff Lacy. He made his getaway with Alejo Macias, who was afterward captured and sent up for thirteen years. Ruddock has been keeping his eye on the escaped murderer since assuming office in January. He recently said he would get him. Ruddock returned from Ensenada on Tuesday with Saiz, the latter having The sewer was called upon to days, was discussed and sides, and it there was only one trustee, and with the plans City Attorney Steward were to continue the right of way for from J.

Ruddock returned from Ensenada on Tuesday with Saiz, the latter having been turned over to him by Mexican officials. Saiz is now in the county jail. In a statement made to Ruddock yesterday he said that the night after his escape from the county jail in October last, he and Macias came to Anaheim, where Saiz's mother lived, and procured food. PAPER MONEY UP IN SMOKE Fire During Wind Calls Out Department in a Hurry Fire in a frame building on West Center street, below Clementine, on Saturday morning at 11.30, during the prevalence of a Santa Ana wind, called out the department in a hurry. For a time adjoining frame buildings were in danger of ignition, but when several streams of water were played upon the burning building the flames were speedily under control. The residence of Ben Berdrow, adjoining the burned building on the east, was in danger, but was saved by the work of the department, which responded quickly and had the fire under control in a few minutes. A Santa Ana wind had been blowing, but subsided during the morning hours, yet desert zephyrs were in the air, and it was a bad day for a fire. The building was destroyed, but the fire was prevented from spreading to adjoining property. Furniture from these houses was carried out by firemen and placed in the street and on the sidewalk. The burned building was occupied by H. A. Tompkins, who says he lost $965 in currency which he had in a trunk in the house. The fire is understood to have been caused by children playing with matches. The building was owned by Dr. Johnston. There was no insurance. The loss is probably $500. WILL RETURN TO ALASKA Henry Gatjens Leaves June 1st to Resume Search for Golden Ore Henry Gatjens is in town from Nome, Alaska, visiting relatives and of spectators knew no bounds, and the winners were cheered to the echo. Kelly of Orange took five first places, landing his school a winner with 45 points. Anaheim won second place with 29, Santa Ana third with 25, Huntington Beach fourth with 24, and Fullerton fifth with 6. Kelly of Fullerton was missed by his teammates. With his right arm in a sling, he acted as one of the judges. While vaulting at Fullerton a few weeks ago he fell and fractured his wrist. A large crowd was in attendance from the various towns of the county, the contestants being accompanied by bands of rooters. Great enthusiasm prevailed during the meet. The winners of the several events were: 50 yd dash—Kelly, Newcomer, time six seconds. 100 yd dash—Kelly, Newcomer and Livernash; time 10.2 sec. 220 yd dash—Kelly, Tipton, Newcomer; time 23 sec. 440 yd dash—Tipton, Livernash and Smith; time 53.1 sec. 880 yd run—Tipton, Beebe, Gould; time 2 min. 11 sec. Mile run—Bates, Beebe, Armitage; 5 min. 16 sec. 220 yd hurdles—Kelly, Tipton, and Schenck; time 26.1 sec. 120 yd hurdles—Kelly, Walton, and Worthy; time 16 sec. Relay race—Santa Ana. Field Events.-Discus throw—Kelly, Yorba, Livernash; 98 ft 6 in. Shot put—Livernash, Kelly, Livernash; 45 ft 10 in. Pole vault—Cookman, Walton, Livernash; 10 ft 9 in. High jump—Keiser, Livernash, Watson; 5 ft 8 in. Broad jump—King, Livernash, Worthy; record; 19 ft 10 in. Ball throw—Worthy, Barker, Kelly, record; 309 ft 6 in. All high schools of the county entered and keen competition was shown on all sides. Seventy contestants were entered, and while all did good work, Kelly of Orange, the Livernash boys of Huntington Beach and Tipton and Beebe of this city were the stars of the meet. The Anaheim athletes proved to be almost a match for the Orange team in track events but lost out in field. This is the first year that Anaheim has been represented in a county meet, for several years, and by securing second place, speaks well for the coach, Mr. Culp, and for the boys.

HELLO GIRLS TO REST No More Sweet Voices in the Wee Small Hours of the Night County Manager Backs of the Home telephone company and E. T. Brannon, county wire chief, were over from Santa Ana on Tuesday. Manager Backs is preparing to conform to the new eight-hour law for women, which prohibits their employment for more than eight hours per day. He will replace the night operator, who goes on at 9 p.m. and works until 7 a.m., by a young man.
