VOLUME XXXXII ECHOES OF WATER FIGHT AT ANNUAL ELECTION FACTIONAL SCRAP IN PROSPECT, DOVE OF PEACE OVER ALL Old Board Master of Situation, Its Policies for Development Approved—Climax of Two-Days' Meeting Vote of Thanks for Efficient Management of Company's Properties—Mr. Chapman's Withdrawal Makes Easy Sailing, And All Matters Move Smoothly When the stockholders in the Anaheim Union Water Company adjourned for lunch at noon on Tuesday of last week, an animated fight between factions was in prospect, and not even the closest student of water politics who had attended annual meetings in many years could get a line on how events were shaping themselves. Uncertain factors in the contest were the large blocks of stock held by C. C. Chapman and Jacob Stern, each holding more than 400, and controlling many more.

At one o'clock one hundred and twenty ladies marched from the reception hall to the dining room, which was beautifully decorated in the colors of the Ebel', green and white. The walls were festooned with pepper boughs and the tables with ropes of smilax and white candles knotted with white tarlatan. After an hour of most enjoyable social intercourse at the table, Mrs. Spencer, acting as toast mistress, gave an outline of the history of the Ebell society of Anaheim, and then called on Mrs. Waters, state president of the federation of women's clubs, who gave a charming talk on her work. Mrs. Westland, district president, spoke on federation work and strongly urged the society to build a club house. If, the money is not in hand, borrow, build and pay for it later, but build. Toasts serious, toasts dignified, toasts humorous, toasts witty were ed for lunch at noon on Tuesday of last week, an animated fight between factions was in prospect, and not even the closest student of water politics who had attended annual meetings in many years could get a line on how events were shaping themselves. Uncertain factors in the contest were the large blocks of stock held by C. C. Chapman and Jacob Stern, each holding more than 400, and controlling many more. Here was enough stock to more than elect one director. Mr. Chapman was an avowed candidate for a place on the board, and with his own stock and a portion of that held by Mr. Stern, was in position not only to elect himself, but in large measure to dictate the complexion of the new directors of the company. Each favored segregation of oil and water stock and each had addressed the meetings of Saturday and Tuesday in support of what they considered the proper course of the company to pursue. With Chapman in the running, G. W. Sherwood was out of it, he having but a small block of stock beside his own supporting him. Sherwood also favors segregation. These three men are leaders in the plan to segregate stock, and each gave strong reasons for the faith that is in them. At this moment J. J. Dwyer with better than 1200 shares to his credit, was high man in the fight. He had 400 shares to spare; and these he had promised Wm. Crowther, who was shy a sufficient number to elect him. He was in the fight and was losing no time in building his fences high and strong. H. H. Hale and A. S. Bardford had large blocks of stock, which had been growing continually by work of their supporters since the preceding week. Ralph McFadden and E. E. Beazly had in the neighborhood of 1700 shares, enough to elect them with votes to spare. Steve McCulloch was denied the right to vote 134 shares of the Gilman orchard, he having neither proxy nor power of attorney so to do. McCulloch is superintendent of the orchard company and had just returned from a meeting of its directors at Petaluma. A man of strong personality, he argued at length at Saturday morning's session for permission to vote the stock.

Mrs. Dwyer responded to thetoast, The Clubhouse. We all became enthusiastic to see the clubhouse a reality. At close up of the dinner all repaired to the reception hall to meetthe state officers and become acquainted with the new members.

The negative argument McCulloch is superintendent of the orchard company and had just returned from a meeting of its directors at Petaluma. A man of strong personality, he argued at length at Saturday morning's session for permission to vote the stock. Explanation of the statute relating to elections by corporations on the part of Attorney S. M. Davis, in which he showed that a proxy or power of attorney must be had in writing was essential, and that elections held contrary to this provision were voidable, put McCulloch out of the running, he having been one of the three insurgent candidates. It looked for a time that McCulloch would get away with the bacon, a motion having been made to grant him right to vote his stock. Again Davis was appealed to for the law, and the voidable clause was again brought forth. McCulloch later retired. At noon on Tuesday, when lines had been sharply drawn, one of those kaleidoscopic changes common in water politics occurred, and the dove of peace hovered near Mr. Crowther was given 300 shares by Jacob Stern, who had already given 100 shares to McFadden. This put Crowther across the line with more than enough stock to land him. Dwyer's surplus went to Hale and Bradford, who were safe. At one time during the noon hour Hale was reported to be high man. This marked four of the old board as probable winners, and with Chapman, McFadden and Beazley in the fight, it looked for a time like three new men on the board. Chapman's withdrawal after he had been placed in nomination, in favor of Sherwood, brought the dove of peace in hovering attitude. In a moment it alighted and all was peaceful as a midsummer night's dream.

Whittier, Ward of Oakland and Gaw of the University California. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1912 PASADENA WINS IN HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE A NARROW MARGIN OF FIVE POINTS SEPARATE ORATORS Hans Storm and Walter Spaeth were Anaheim's Champlons, and Kilpatrick and Kirkland Represented the Crown City—Resolved, That the Panama Canal Zone and Its Industries Should Be Controlled by the United States Through One Man as Head, Was the Subject Argued It was by the narrow margin of five points that the Anaheim high school's chosen orators were defeated by the Pasadena representatives Friday evening. The subject, "Resolved, That after the completion of the Panama canal the industries of the canal zone shall be owned and operated by the United States government, through one man appointed as head," was threshed out in all its phases, Anaheim taking the affirmative side. Hans Storm and Walter Spaeth argued for the affirmative, and Frank Kilpatrick and Miss Grace Kirkland were the negative orators. HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS Huntington Beach Takes Concluding Basket Ball Game With the close of the basket ball season on Wednesday last, Anaheim completed the most successful season in her history, having passed through the league season with but one defeat, and that at the hands of the speed boys of Huntington Beach high school, when they won by a score of 20-40. Anaheim has played in all fourteen games and has won ten, a record which in itself is worthy of note. The men who have won places in the team have done so through work and several stars ahve been produced, i.e., Webb, Kelley, Elliott, Ranow, Beebe, and Fergus, while of those composing the second squad Douglas, Hemmerling, Miller and Jaynes have been most consistent. Of the men, Capt. Webb has shown the most steady development, and stands in a class of the best at guard position and another year he should be wihutot a peer. The team will lose but Kelley of this year's squad and with Hemmerling to take his place at shooting baskets and Beebe playing his alCONTRACT AWARDED FOR NEW CITY JAIL CHAMBERLAIN, WILLIAMSON & CHAMBERLAIN ARE SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS Bids for Iron Work Rejected and Clerk Instructed to Re-Advertise — Engineer Steward's plans Approved by State Board—$2725 the Cost of the Cement Work—Associated Oil Company's Contract for 10,000 Barrels of Fuel Oil Accepted Three bids were submitted to the city trustees at Thursday night's special meeting for the construction of the new jail and cement stockade surrounding the city hall grounds. Only one of these was for the entire work, the other two being for the cement and iron work separately. Following are the bids: C. Schindler, cement work, $3192. C. Schindler, iron work, $532. C. Schindler, for the whole, $3724. Chamberlain, Williamson & Chamberlain, cement work, $2725. The auditorium of the Fremont school was the field of battle. It was packed with interested listeners who, almost unnaimously, were dissatisfied with the decision of the judges, of course. The noise brigade was in evidence and filled the air with the class yells, and the Girls' Glee club, under the leadership of Miss Lila Abbott, rendered many popular vocalairs. Ray Elliott, president of the high school debating society, stopped the noise at eight o'clock and introduced Hans Storm, the first speaker for the affirmative. The affirmative began by declaring that the canal is the most gigantic piece of engineering work ever undertaken by man. The government is spending $375,000,000 on the work and every American citizen is a stockholder to the extent of four dollars. As the government is building it the government should own and control it and jealously guard it and the industries resulting therefrom from the machinations and intrigues of trusts and syndicates. Already the steel trust has a man on the ground watching the situation, and looking for a foothold. From a moral standpoint, also, it would be better to keep the industries under the control of the government with one responsible head, as otherwise it would develop into a worse condition than the water front of London, Shanghai or San Francisco. The commission form of government, also was deprecated, because with half a dozen men dividing the responsibility jealousies and disputes would naturally arise resulting in confusion. On the whole both affirmative orators put up strong arguments and offered many good and substantial reasons why the canal zone, under one head, who was responsible to the United States government for his stewardship, would be a better place to live. The negative argued that to place these classes orators were defeated by the Pasadena representatives Friday evening.

put up strong arguments and offered many good and substantial reasons why the canal zone, under one head, who was responsible to the United States government for his stewardship, would be a better place to live. The negative argued that to place the zone under one man would mean to establish a petty monarchy and make him more powerful in his small domain than the Czar of Russia or the emperor of China. It was a gigantic task for one man to undertake such as would have made even Old Hickory Jackson hesitate. Naturally it would result eventually in unlimited graft and corruption among the subordinates as it would be impossible for one man to keep his eye on everybody. Moreover the diversity of industries required men of diversified training to control. A trained and competent railroad man should have unhampered command of the railroad, an efficient canal engineer should be at the head of the big ditch and the same system should prevail with all the industries of the zone. There are 450 square miles of territory in the strip, and many and varied are the industries that will develop. Hans Storm spoke five minutes in rebuttal at the close of Miss Kirkland's address, and made many witty thrusts and corrections in the short space, but the decision of the judges, when footed up showed 578 points for Pasadena and 573 for Anaheim. The judges were Profs. Wilcox of Whittier, Ward of Occidental College and Gaw of the University of Southern California. AZETTE JANY 8, 1912 NUMBER 17 AWARDED NEW CITY JAIL WILLIAMSON & BAIN ARE SUCCESS-BIDDERS Work Rejected and Advised to Re-Advertise — Award's plans Approved — $2725 the Cost of Work—Associated Oil Contract for 10,000 Bar-Dil Accepted WILL BUILD PIPE LINE Water Company Makes New Contract for Oil Output The Anaheim Union Water company will shortly begin construction of a four mile pipe line from the La Habra reservoir site to Placentia, where it will deliver its oil to the Kellogg oil company, which it is said a Santa Fe subsidiary. The pipe will be four inches in diameter. A 20,000 gallon tank will be erected at Placentia, where oil will be put on the cars. The pipe line will cost $10,000. The pipe line is made necessary by signing a contract with the Kellogg company for five years, at an advance of five cents per barrel over rates now paid by the Amalgamated company. The water company's present contract with Amalgamated extends for only thirty days, when renewals are necessary. Thus it appears that the Amalgamated may if it is so disposed lower the price at the end of thirty days, and it is to be relieved of this state of affairs that the pipe line will be constructed.

According to report White is held upon no less than eighteen charges of swindling or attempting to defraud.

Thus it appears that the Amalgamated may if it is so disposed lower at the end of thirty days, and it is to be relieved of this state of affairs that the pipe line will be constructed. Application to the Union oil company to ship oil over its lines was met by refusal, the Union holding that if it transported oil from other companies it would become a common carrier, and thus it objected. A large amount of oil is being now pumped by the Amalgamated. In January the water company received $4000 as its royalty, and it is held monthly return will continue during the year, with a probability of increase when wells now drilling are put on the pump. TOUR OF UPPER COUNTIES Local Capitalists Make Trip to Kern and Tulare John Hartung, Samuel Kraemer, and C. O. Rust returned on Saturday morning from a two days' trip points of interest in Kern and Tulare counties. They left here on Wednesday of last week and arrived in Kern early the following morning. An auto was in waiting for them, and they visited Bakersfield, Tulare, Lindsey and other points. They found orchards in good condition, but not quite up to the standard set by groves in Orange county. "If any one in this county, wants to sell his orchard property," said Mr. Hartung on his return, "he should first make a trip to these upper counties, where they will find things on measurably prosperous condition/but not quite up to those prevailing here. Then he should come back and be convinced that he is living in the garden spot of the state. We found good roads everywhere, and fine fields of alfalfa and grain, beside fine orchards. They are progressive men who are making these two counties what they are, but they are not up to the pace Orange county is setting. I am more than ever convinced that we live in the choicest section of California." Messrs. Kraemer and Rust expressed similar views, and are better satisfied than ever before. B. Hartfield who was victimized by a bogus New York bank draft in the amount of $1166.66 for a sale of diamonds valued at $932 has been in communication with officials at Larned, Kansas, where the swindler, Judson White, is in custody on a charge of similar practices in eastern cities. According to report White is held upon no less than eighteen charges of swindling or attempting to defraud. White's victims are in every instance dealers in diamonds and his swindling operations total many thousands of dollars. He was arrested in the Kansas town two weeks ago while attempting a diamond swindle. When taken into custody and searched, a pawnbroker's receipt for diamonds was found in his shoe. These gems were pawned in Denver for $236. Mr. Hartfield believes these diamonds are those taken from him by White. He has telegraphed Larned officials to that effect, and has forwarded full descriptions of the stones. If the gems tally with his description he will take steps to recover them. He has been in conference with Orange county officials and Detective Flammer of Los Angeles. The latter will attempt to bring the swindler to California to answer to a number of swindles perpetrated by him in Los Angeles and Pasadena. White is a man about 40 years of age, 5 feet 10, weighing about 145 pounds and clean shaven. He swindled Hartfield out of $932 worth of diamonds and $234.66 in cash given him to balance the bogus draft. Hartfield contemplates making a trip to Kansas for the purpose of interviewing White in order to learn where his diamonds were pawned. He is convinced that the stones pawned at Denver are part of the theft. He will after procuring his property make formal demand for return of the gems to him. He looks for advices from Larned today, and if his presence is deemed necessary at that point will immediately leave for the east. He is confident he will recover his gems. He is also anxious for a brief interview with White. CLOSE ON THEIR TRAIL Deputy Sheriffs in Town Following Clues to Masked Robbers Deputy Sheriffs Squires and Jernigan were in town from Santa Ana on Saturday in consultation with Marshal Kellenberger and Officer OPERATED UPON FOR CANCER Mrs. Simpson Improving at Clara Barton Hospital Mrs. V. U. Simpson was operated upon for removal of cancerous growth in the left breast at Clara Barton hospital, Los Angeles, on Saturday afternoon. She was accompanied to the city by Mr. Simpson and Misses Sophia and Marie Rimpau. Mrs. Simpson was under the anaesthetic for two hours and ten minutes. The operation was successfully performed, and the patient immediately rallied. A telephone message from the hospital on Monday morning stated she was sitting up by a window. She will probably be absent a month. It is contemplated to remove her from the hospital in a fortnight, and she will spend some weeks as the guest of Mrs. Smythe in Los Angeles. Mrs. Simpson first noticed the cancerous growth about Christmas time. It was not suspected at first that it was cancer, but when a specialist later so diagnosed the case, an operation was immediately decided upon. Reports from the hospital on Tuesday and yesterday were to effect that the patient is steadily progressing toward recovery and will be able to leave in a fortnight. Her many friends will be glad to learn of her improvement, and indulge the hope that she may soon be enabled to return to her home here. CLOSE ON THEIR TRAIL Deputy Sheriffs in Town Following Clues to Masked Robbers Deputy Sheriffs Squires and Jernigan were in town from Santa Ana on Saturday in consultation with Marshal Kellenberger and Officer Germann. These officers are close on the trail of the three masked robbers who recently held up the Belmont saloon here and robbed the proprietor of $400. They are also suspected of doing the Newport Beach bank robbery some weeks ago, in which they dropped $2600 when Billy Hall began shooting at them. They are also suspected of the robbery of the Newport Beach bank five years ago last December, as well as the robbery of N. Hart's saloon about the same time. They went north and robbed a bank, were arrested, convicted and sentenced to seven years in San Quentin. By good behavior they were released in five years. They were seen in Los Angeles some days before the Newport bank robbery. Sheriff Ruddock and his deputies are right after these men, and arrests may be looked for in the near future. "These men will probably pay the county another visit if they are not apprehended," said Deputy Squires. "They may pull off a big job one of these nights, but we will get them sooner or later. They are out of our reach now, but we are going to land them." Contractor Lagman is building a $2000 residence for Samuel Wilson at the corner of Olive and Cypress Sts.
