PARCELS POST SYSTEM WOULD BE INJURIOUS Continued from Page One of trade meeting Fritz Yungbluth tool strong ground against the innovation. Mr. Yungbluth's arguments did much to carry the day against parcels post and are worthy of perusal. He said: It is my sincere belief that the parcels post system proposed will be a detriment to our own and all other communities, outside of large cities where the mail order merchant operates. For that reason I will try to defend the farmer village and the country towns and Uncle Sam. Large mail order merchants pay no taxes, direct or indirect in our community. They do not help to maintain our schools, churches, libraries, hospitals, or other public institutions. They do not assist in the building and maintenance of the good roads. They furnish no market for the farmers' produce, which he is now bringing to the country merchant. The farmer and rancher makes the occasion of visiting the town, one in which he not only disposes of his own produce and gets supplies for the home but also is somewhat in the nature of a holiday, when he can meet his friends and renew their acquaintance and forget the monotony of the farm. The parcels post system would also tend to do away with these friendly as well as business visits, and the towns would be deserted, and the merchants lose trade, and the community go backward instead of advancing. The clerks would find their employment gone and possibly the store keeper himself, should they desire to remain in business. They will have to go to the big mail order merchant, and become one of the small cogs in the big wheel, that every day is revolving and gathering in such as he. It has been said here tonight that the parcel's post system has met with success in Uncle Samuel to care on the long, expensive last year the government a deficiency of $27,000 generation of the rura which limits the pay four pounds. A great tes are made on horse try impossible for al el. This will show ter the expenses w taxpayers as a whole make it up, for the bly of the mail order whose behest this apcels post emanates our telephone and ra do in England. U have to make gover for hauling, which I very expensive. The interstate com ion now has power regulate express rate regulate them, as show railway matters. W that the commission now on the books.

As in the 50 yard dash the finish was a desperate struggle between Kelly and King, but Kelly made an extraordinary spurt twenty feet from the tape and won by a foot. OVERTON GIVEN FIVE YEARS Paroled Convict Rearrested and Is Sent to Prison Charles Overton of Orange, who was paroled some time ago on a five years sentence for stealing a team of horses, was last week rearrested for stealing a bicycle, getting drunk and disturbing the peace. Judge West sentenced him to San Quentin for five years. Overton could not stand the restraints of parole, and broke away from his promises to be good. Stealing a bicycle, he rode to this city from Orange and began drinking. Returning to Orange he created a disturbance, and Judge West did the rest. and the merchants lose trade, and the community go backward instead of advancing. The clerks would find their employment gone and possibly the store keeper himself, should they desire to remain in business. They will have to go to the big mail order merchant, and become one of the small cogs in the big wheel, that every day is revolving and gathering in such as he. It has been said here tonight that the parcel's post system has met with success in European countries. The total area of the United Kingdom, including England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands, is 121,391 sq miles. The three states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have an area of 134,059 square miles, 12,668 square miles more than that of the United Kingdom. The total area of the United States is 3,624,122 square miles. England serves a population of 41,-976,827 in 121,391 square miles. The United States serves a population only twice as great and Scotland over an area 30 times larger. These figures will show where the United States is losing out by making delivery over this great territory. The big mail order house wants Uncle Sam to deliver his parcels in the mountains, to mining camps and from New York to Portland, Oregon, a distance of 3204 miles for same price as from New York to Portland, Maine, one-tenth of the distance. Does it look reasonable to think of carrying packages from New York to San Francisco for the same price as from San Francisco to Oakland? The people at large will have to make up the deficiency. It has been said that the short haul will average up with the long haul. You must not forget the express companies. They will make a rate on the short and easy hauls lower than Uncle Sam and thereby get the profitably part of the business and leave your ANAHEIM GAZETTE KEEFE PUT UP FIGHT Hardest Man Ever Taken Into Custody by Sheriff John C. Keefe of West Orange, who was arrested on Saturday afternoon and taken back to Milwaukee on a felony charge, was the hardest man ever taken into custody by the sheriff's office. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Law and Stacey and forcibly taken from his home. He fought viciously. He was handcuffed, placed in an auto and taken to Pomona, where he was placed aboard an east-bound train at 11 o'clock at night. He is charged with embezzling $5000 from two sisters, Misses Catherine and Elizabeth Dunigan. He was turned over to Sheriff Ruddock and a Milwaukee officer and taken to Pomona and placed aboard the train. The charge in the east is without much doubt the aftermath of a civil suit brought here in August, 1909. The Dunigan sisters alleged that Keefe was their guardian, appointed about 1900, had $4503.02 in his hands as guardian and had never paid the amount. Keefe's attorneys secured a non-suit on the ground that the Wisconsin court had never settled an account as guardian, and that Keefe and his siblings would pay whatever amount the court should find was due the wards. The first known of the new turn that had been taken was when a Milwaukee officer got extradition papers on a warrant issued at Milwaukee. Miss Elizabeth Dunigan charges the embezzlement of $5000. On Saturday afternoon the officers went to Keefe's place near the San- Uncle Samuel to carry the packages on the long, expensive distances. Last year the government incurred a deficiency of $27,000,000 in the operation of the rural free delivery, which limits the parcels carried to four pounds. A great many RFD routes are made on horseback over country impossible for a wagon to travel. This will show how much greater the expenses will be and the taxpayers as a whole will have to make it up, for the benefit principally of the mail order merchant, at whose behest this agitation for parcels post emanates. We do not own our telephone and railroads as they do in England. Uncle Sam would have to make government contracts for hauling, which I understand is very expensive. The interstate commerce commission now has power to adjust and regulate express rates, and will regulate them, as shown recently in railway matters. We should urge that the commission enforce the laws now on the books. Let us urge the government to use the money for the building of good roads and not sink it in the useless and expensive parcels post. SOCIALIST NOMINEES Anaheim, Cal., Feb. 26, 1912. Editor Gazette.—In your issue of Feb. 22, occurs errors in regard to nominations made by the socialist party of Anaheim for municipal officers. The nominations are as follows: For city trustees, N. F. Steadman, F. H. Fox, C. Pressel. For city clerk, J. I. McAulay. For treasurer, J. P. Gibson. Trusting that you will publish this correction, I remain, yours truly, George Bauer. Sec'y Anaheim Socialist Branch. About forty of the local Odd Fellows went over to Orange on Saturday and put on the first degree, being highly complimented for their work, as usual. Orange entertained the visitors with an oyster supper. Wisconsin court had never settled an account as guardian, and that Keefe and hisi bondsmen would pay whatever amount the court should find was due the wards. The first known of the new turn that had been taken was when a Milwaukee officer got extradition papers on a warrant issued at Milwaukee. Miss Elizabeth Dunigan charges the embezzlement of $5000. On Saturday afternoon the officers went to Keefe's place near the Santa Ana river south of the Santa Fe bridge at West Orange. He protested against going, but the officers meant business. Keefe was allowed to go into the house and get a coat and vest. In the inside pocket of the vest was a big roll of bills estimated to be $1000. When it came to getting into the buggy Keefe began to fight and finally Stacey placed handcuffs on him. Keefe at one time was an attorney, but during the eight years he has been here he has been engaged in ranching. His wife and daughter are at West Orange. Miss Keefe said: "Mr. Keefe is still guardian of the estate, having never been discharged. He and others have been working at the matter right along and it has been partly settled. He knows no reason why matters should have taken the turn they have and was astounded." BUENA PARK Rev. T. L. Dyer continues to fill the Congregational church with deeply interested audiences. It is both touching and pleasing to observe the large numbers of young men in the pews and their air of deep interest. Mr. Dyer is certainly giving them food for thought. They show it by their presence. The Ladies Auxiliary of the church have decided in the first week in May for their Old Folks concert. Twelve ladies were delightfully entertained at luncheon and whist on Friday last by Mrs. Jas. Watson of Orangethorpe. Mrs. Henry Warren received the first prize. Although the wind blew a perfect gale everybody had a delightful time. The Park female voters are registering in large numbers. This is as it should be. Hope the good work will go on. A barn on the Page ranch containing several tons of hay and a span of valuable mules was destroyed by fire last Thursday night between 2 and 3 o'clock a.m. It is thought that some tramp accidentally fired the barn by dropping lighted matches. NO matter h Furniture We Deliver Any Where BILLDAVIS, HIGHWAYMAN, DYING, MAKES CONFESSION Continued from Page One laughter and merriment reigned among the younger members of the congregation. Of the tragedy in a human life being enacted hardby they knew nothing. SHERIFF'S GOOD WORK Most Important Capture in History of County The capture of Bill Davis by Sheriff Ruddock marks the most important arrest in the history of the county. Ruddock has searched the State for the criminal. Two weeks ago a man giving the name of Bill Davis was arrested at Fresno as a suspect. Deputy Sheriff Stacey went to Fresno, but on seeing the prisoner ordered his release, saying he was not the man. Ruddock learned last week that Davis was again in Orange county. He located him at El Modena and his arrest followed. Goods That Have The Flavor Is the kind the man of taste desires. That's the kind we carry. The best is none too good for our customers.

Although the wind blew a perfect gale everybody had a delightful time. The Park female voters are registering in large numbers. This is as it should be. Hope the good work will go on. A barn on the Page ranch containing several tons of hay and a span of valuable mules was destroyed by fire last Thursday night between 2 and 3 o'clock a.m. It is thought that some tramp accidentally fired the barn by dropping lighted matches. The loss of the mules falls very heavily on Mr. Page just at this time. Mrs. Geo. Hardin has gone to Iowa to visit her relatives. Has just arrived safely at destination. Mrs. Geo. Durgan was pleasantly surprised on Saturday by a visit from Dr. Wm. Craig of Upland, accompanied by his wife and four children, as well as Richard Craig and wife from Iowa. Dick Craig is in the banking business in his state, and is a cousin Mrs. Durgan had not met before. He is spending the winter in Upland with his brother, who is a prominent physician in that locality. They motored over and had a delightful trip. Mr. Craig is charmed with California. A large warehouse near the Warren store was leveled by the wind last Friday. It belonged to Mr. Allen. Recorder Howard had five chronic cases of souse in court on Monday morning. The first batter up was given an antidote of $10, which he paid. The other four's batting average was low, and they went to jail for five days. DAVIS WHITTIER GRADUATE Frequently in Trouble Here—Once Shot at by Marshal Davis is an all-round bad character and desperado. He was sent to Whittier reform school years ago for incorrigibility. He was until seven or eight years ago a frequent visitor here, and had a faculty for getting into trouble. He was arrested and jailed once for breaking windows in Nemetz's paint shop. Marshal Steadman shot at him twice at a Sunday picnic about this time as Davis made his escape from him after being arrested. Davis had drawn a knife on a man at the picnic, threatening to stab him. Steadman placed him under arrest. He put him in the police wagon to bring him to jail. Some one stepped up to ask Steadman a question. As the latter turned to speak to him Davis jumped out of the wagon and ran. Steadman fired at him twice, but the nimble-footed desperado made his escape. A friend met him in a buggy and he was driven rapidly away.
