The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel Editor and Proprietor The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. 50 PER CENT PROFIT Promises by Messrs. Shafer and Varney of the Durocar company that stock will gain dividends of 50 per cent were not taken seriously by investors here on the occasion of their recent visits here. One capitalist made the statement to them that if reasonable assurance could be given him that 7 per cent, not 50, could be made, he would subscribe to $15,000 worth of stock. Another offered to subscribe for $10,000 of stock on similar conditions. These overtures were not met, and the proposition was dismissed from further consideration. A company which promises to turn out a million dollars of manufactured goods annually, and talks of 50 per cent profits, is suggestive of frenzied finance. We want none of it. CONGRESSMAN NEEDHAM The invitation which comes from San Diego to Congressman Needham, that he move into the eleventh congress district and become a candidate for congress, need hardly be taken seriously. Needham will doubtless be renominated in the seventh district, and the fact that Congressman Smith has been placed in tribet attorney was correct. But since the officials at Sacramento hold differently, County Clerk Williams has concluded to play safe. For the present at least all deputies are required to secure from the applicant a definite statement as to age. W. E. McFADDEN KILLED Automobile Runs Off Bridge With Fatal Results William E. McFadden of Placentia was instantly killed just before midnight on Tuesday night a short distance this side of Fullerton, as he was returning in his automobile from a meeting of the Elks lodge at Santa Ana. He was speeding at 65 miles an hour, according to report, and ran off a small bridge this side of Fullerton. McFadden was thrown from his machine and instantly killed. With him at the time of the accident were Don Pore and Jack Ross. The body was taken to a Fullerton undertaking establishment. McFadden was a well-known orange grower of Placentia. He was a son of the late W. M. McFadden, a pioneer of the Placentia section. He was married some years ago to a daughter of the late Don Marcos Forster of San Juan. He was an enthusiastic automobilist, and was frequently seen on the streets in his Pope-Hartford car. Arrangements for the funeral had not been made as we go to press. EASTLAND GETS 15 YEARS Convicted of Felonious Attack Upon Little Girl Louis J. Eastland was on Tuesday morning sentenced to fifteen years in San Quentin. Eastland was convicted of making a felonious assault upon Ada Tripp, aged 7 years. CONGRESSMAN NEEDHAM The invitation which comes from San Diego to Congressman Needham, that he move into the eleventh congress district and become a candidate for congress, need hardly be taken seriously. Needham will doubtless be renominated in the seventh district, and the fact that Congressman Smith has been placed in Needham's district by the new apportionment, means merely the elimination of the latter from the contest. Mr.. Smith's health is so precarious that it is doubtful if he will be able to withstand the rigors of another campaign. He was unable to attend the special session, and word from Washington is that he is in rather enfeebled condition. Needham would find a number of opponents in this district, in the improbable event of his coming, and he would be at a disadvantage as coming here for no other purpose than to hold his job. He will doubtless be renominated and re-elected in his home district. MUST GIVE THEIR AGES If Women Would Register They Must Say How Young They Are County Clerk Williams has notified his registration clerks that from now until further notice all those who register must give their ages. Acting under early advises from Sacramento, the county clerk required only that the applicant for registration state whether or not she was over 21 years of age. This seemed to work first rate until word came from Sacramento to the effect that the secretary of state had changed his opinion, and that until the new law goes into effect in March the age must be given right down to the very last year. Since several men and women had registered in this county, County Clerk Williams proceeded to dig into the legal phase of the age statement. District Attorney West stated that the affidavits being used by the clerk's deputies were strictly all right, that all that the law requires is a statement that the applicant for registration is over 21 years of age. Attorney R. Y. Williams, H. C. Head and W. M. Brown also looked up the law, and they argued that the dis- EASTLAND GETS 15 YEARS Convicted of Felonious Attack Upon Little Girl Louis J. Eastland was on Tuesday morning sentenced to fifteen years in San Quentin. Eastland was convicted of making a felonious assault upon Ada Tripp, aged 7 years. Eastland is a tall weak-appearing man. In sentencing Eastland, Judge West said that he knew that the blow would fall heaviest upon Eastland's mother, a faithful woman, who has been loyal to her son throughout. "But society demands that you be dealt with," said the Judge. "You will be getting off lightly if you have to spend ten years in prison. With the sentence of fifteen years by good behavior you can get out of prison in nine years and eight months." Attorneys Weisel & Dutton of this city, representing Eastland, gave notice of appeal. The crime against the little girl resulted in no permanent injury to her. When the judge asked Eastland if he had anything to say Eastland replied that all he had to say was that he was innocent. "Innocent men have been convicted of crime," said the judge, "but in this case I am certain that a guilty man was convicted." The judge reviewed the testimony, showing clearly why the jury thought Eastland guilty. AT POINT OF DEATH M. V. B. Lovering Very Low—Family at Bedside M. V. B. Lovering is lying at the point of death at his home on Orangethorpe avenue. Little hope is entertained for recovery. Mr. Lovering is aged 77 years. He is one of the pioneers of his section, and is held in high esteem by all who know him. Members of the family have been summoned to his bedside. All are present, including his wife, sons and daughters... Those at the home, beside Mrs. Lovering are Judson Blick and wife, Tulare county; E. C. Murray and wife, Palo Alto, Harry H. Moffitt and wife, Coalinga, Guy Lovering, Joliet, Montana, and Roy Lovering, Tulare county. Mrs. Lovering is a sister of Mrs. V. U. Simpson of this city, and of Writing Paper Of the latest and up-to-date styles. Box paper of the best. Still a few boxes left and a Waterman Ideal: Fountain Pen to write with. JOS. HELMSEN TUESDAY EVENING CLUB A meeting was held on Tuesday evening at the residence of Prof. Hartranft, when the Tuesday Evening Club was organized. Horace E. Hand was elected president, Prof. J. F. Walker vice president, Robert T. Hubbard secretary and treasurer. An executive committee was appointed consisting of the officers and Mrs. Dr. H. A. Johnston and Mrs. S. C. Hartranft. Prof. Walker delivered an address on the Early History of Anaheim. A musical and literary program was a feature of the meeting. Arthur Porter's horse and buggy was stolen on Monday evening as he and Mrs. Porter attended a meeting of the Eastern Star. The rig was recovered the following day hitched in rear of the Jap pool room on Los Angeles street. The horse had been driven hard, and the buggy broken. Figures from the county recorder's books for the last year show satisfactory conditions as to the increase in business over 1910 as for 1911 the fees for the office amounted to $15,482.50, against $12,379.15 for the year 1910.

W. D. Bennett, a sales manager of the California fruit exchange, states that a letter has just been received from the Massachusetts agricultural college asking data on the methods. A few days ago a similar request came from Australia. Nova Scotia has a fruit exchange modeled after the California fruit exchange, and Maine, Vermont, Virginia and Kansas are working to form organizations after the fashion of ours. UNCLAIMED LETTERS R.
