Boege ... 166 Joe Gibson ... 37 With cloudy skies overhead and intermittent sprinkles threatening a downpour, the most exciting municipal election ever held in this city brought out the heaviest vote ever polled in this city on Monday. It is estimated that not less than 500 women voted, and the total poll aggregated 1105. There were three tickets in the field, and supporters of each worked like beavers throughout the day. At times during the afternoon voters stood in line at the polls waiting to be handed their ballots. At the city hall the line extended downstairs and out upon the sidewalk. At least 100 voters were in line or near by waiting for opportunity to exercise the elective franchise. Many women were in line, and the best of order prevailed. Many automobiles were out during the day carrying voters to the polls. One auto driven by Charley Newcombe ran into a burro tied to a Los Angeles street hitching post. The outo came off second best, its tender being broken and a rear wheel put out of commission. For two weeks past forces divided between Stark, Cook and Hamler on one side, and Nagel, Gates and Eymann on the other. Originally Gates stood with Stark and Hamler, but later joined forces with Nagel and Eymann, whose platform asks for re-adjustment of city licenses. Against these two tickets were the socialist nominees, Steadman, Fox and Pressel. The result of the election showed Beebe was the sensation of the day, as he was an unknown actor, Dodd of Long Beach, King of San Bernardino, and Titesworth of Manual Arts highschool, being considered the men who would land the medals, but—"Buck" showed the squad his number for the four laps, and never was pressed at any time. He was said to have been the best performer in his line ever seen in the south, and that is some rating. The half-mile was a farce as far as Beebe was concerned, as he led at the finish by 75 yards, walking across the tape. Had he known it he could have kept on and won another record, but something must be left for another time, and it is safe to say all eyes will be on Anaheim another year. Baker, another of Culp's stars placed a good third in the 440 dash but got a tie with the Hemet man. This Baker is classy and had he started his sprint 10 yards sooner would have won as he was coming strong. As it was Anaheim for the first time was able to secure a place in Southern Interscholastics, and must be considered a factor another year as she was able to land fourth place this year, being led only by Citrus Union, L. A. high and Riverside. Beebe and Baker will go to Berkeley to participate in the state interscholastic track meet April 27. They will be accompanied by their instructor, Prof. Culp. Dr. L. M. Powers, health commissioner of Los Angeles, gave a most interesting and instructive address before the Tuesday Evening Club last week at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lacey.

Important discoveries, it said, are reported to have been made in the industrial world, through which the entire orange crop can be utilized in commerce. After a few months work the chemists at the university have succeeded in preserving the pure juices of citrus fruits without the use of artificial and injurious preservatives. From the fragrant blossoms that adorn the blushing bride's MARSHAL FLEET OF FOOT Overhauls Mexican Petty Larcenist After Merry Chase Marshal Kellenberger demonstrated his fleetness of foot one evening the first of the week when he ran down and placed under arrest Manuel Rico and Joe Vasquez after a chase of several blocks. Kellenberger was at the city hall when he heard the Mexicans enter the entrance to the jail, where he had just locked up two other Mexicans for fighting. Going to see what they were about, he saw them disappear out into the street on a run. He gave chase. They ran into the alley south of the hall where they separated, one going east, the other west. Kellenberger followed the former. He ran to Philadelphia street, back on Center to Hermine, with the Marshal after him. In the alley north of Center Rico made his getaway in the dark. He was later placed under arrest on Los Angeles street. He freed himself from the officer's clutch and again ran. He was overhauled a block north and placed in jail. A short time thereafter Vasquez was taken into custody on Center street. Fernando Fernandez, another Mexican, was also arrested, and the three were charged with petty larceny. They confessed to stealing a laprobe and blanket from Joe Reid's buggy, and an overcoat and pair of NEW STATE BANK TO OPEN JULY FIRST CHARLES EYGABROAD PRESIDENT OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION Will Occupy Handsome Quarters In Two-Story Building to Be Erected By John Ziegler East of Commercial Hotel — Thirty Stockholders Each Holding $1000 of Stock—It Name Anaheim State Bank—Board of Directors Is Chosen Incorporation papers of the Anaheim State Bank will be filed this week with the State bank commissioner, and work will immediately begin upon a two-story brick building to house the new financial institution on West Center Street east of the Commercial Hotel. Charles Eygabroad will be president of the bank, and the board of directors compose, beside that gentleman, F. C. Krause, George W. Hamler, V. U. Simpson, J. W. Duckworth, Charles W. Baker, Henry M. Adams. The bank will be capitalized at $30,000, and there will be thirty stockholders, each holding $1000 shares of stock. It is understood that more than fifty citizens have manifested a disposition to subscribe for stock. Important discoveries, it said, are reported to have been made in the industrial world, through which the entire orange crop can be utilized in commerce. After a few months work the chemists at the university have succeeded in preserving the pure juices of citrus fruits without the use of artificial and injurious preservatives. From the fragrant blossoms that adorn the blushing bride's coiffure to the last neglected seed in the cull, everything in the orange henceforth will serve man. Instead of allowing one-third of the great crops to rot on the ground, no element in this favorite fruit will be lost. The orange cull as all shippers and fruit dealers well know, is not fruit which has shown decay. The cull may be of inferior size or show a slight bruise, but in all other respects be just as good for commercial purposes as the A1 quality. Here is a bulletin recently issued by the United States government which tells this story in figures: California oranges 28,317 cars, value $28,317,000, approximate loss $424,750, percentage of loss 1.5. California lemons 4782 cars, value $4,782,000, approximate loss $358,650, percentage of loss 1.5 per cent. Florida oranges 6,000,000 boxes, value $9,000,000, approximate loss $630,000, percentage of loss 7 per cent. The paper was referred to the committee on manufacturing and it is possible that a factory will be established here for the transformation of the waste fruit into a marketable commodity. Mr. Eygabroad was appointed a committee of one to secure all possible information on the amount of fruit available for this purpose. H. M. Adams, of the boosters committee, reported that it had been decided to postpone the trip until early in May owing to the uncertainty of the weather at this season. G. L. Dietrich stated that an automobile party consisting of five hundred persons and one hundred and fifty machines would pass through Anaheim about April 15 in the interest of the proposed state highway, and suggested that Orange county get busy and welcome them in suitable form. It was decided to request the street commissioner to have the streets along the line cleaned up so the party will see Anaheim at its best. SAIZ IN CHEERFUL MOOD Mexican Murderer Opines He Will Never Swing Rosario Saiz declares that he never worried for a minute over his sentence to be hanged. "Some of the men sent to San Quentin to be hanged worry all the time," said he. "They are dead before they go the gallows. They won't even go to the baseball games or the theater when the waarden gives them a chance. I told the warden not to overlook me on any of them. 'To thunder with hanging,' is what I said to him, 'and if there is anything to be seen, let me see it, anyhow.' The warden told me on February 16 that I would get a new trial, and I clapped my hands and told him that suited me fine. This idea of going out on a platform with a rope around my neck never did suit me. I arrived at San Quentin on June 29. While I was there I had two cellmates. One was a man named Bennett, who got his sentence commuted to life. The other was a Greek from San Francisco, who is to hang on the 15th for killing two policemen in San Francisco." Saiz will probably be tried in about two months. PERKINS OPPOSES FREE SUGAR Senator Writes Encouraging Letter from Washington Sugar beet growers and others interested in maintaining a tariff on sugar are much pleased with the reply received by the chamber of commerce of Santa Ana from United States Senator George C. Perkins. The chamber of commerce sent a resolution to Senators Perkins and Works, setting forth the great damage that would be done the sugar beet industry of this county should the tariff be removed, and urging the senators to use their dion on West Center Street east of the Commercial Hotel. Charles Eyagabroad will be president of the bank, and the board of directors compose, beside that gentleman, F. C. Krause, George W. Hamler, V. U. Simpson, J. W. Duckworth, Charles W. Baker, Henry M. Adams. The bank will be capitalized at $30,000, and there will be thirty stockholders, each holding $1000 shares of stock. It is understood that more than fifty citizens have manifested a disposition to subscribe for stock, and it may be necessary to limit a portion of the stockholders to $500 subscriptions. One gentleman is said to have offered to subscribe for $25,-000 of stock in a total capitalization of $50,000, but his offer was declined. Movers in the enterprise say that the capital will be increased within the year to $50,000. The bank will be ready for business by July 1st. It will occupy handsome quarters on the lower floor of a two-story brick building to be immediately erected by John Ziegler on his property east of the Commercial hotel. This week a number of large trees occupying the lot were cut down to make room for the building, plans for erection of which are now in the hands of Architect Schindler. The structure will be 30x80, and will cost $15,000. The bank will be fitted up with the latest make of vaults and safety deposit boxes. The floor will be of tilting and the counters of onyx. That another bank is to be added to the city's strong financial institutions is proof of the steady progress of the city. Business at the three banks now doing business here has been phenomenal in its expansion during the past year. Their resources rise to more than a million and a half, and their conservative management conduces to constant extension of their usefulness on all sides. Organizers of the new bank have been quietly at work for some months past, and this week a contract was signed with Mr. Ziegler for occupancy of his building, upon which a fifteen-year lease has been taken.

Dietrich stated that an automobile party consisting of five hundred persons and one hundred and fifty machines would pass through Anaheim about April 15 in the interest of the proposed state highway, and suggested that Orange county get busy and welcome them in suitable form. It was decided to request the street commissioner to have the streets along the line cleaned up so the party will see Anaheim at its best. The Sunset Motion Picture company, of San Francisco, which is arranging a tour of the United States, submitted a proposition to the board, agreeing to exhibit films of Anaheim for a proper consideration. It was referred to the advertising and publicity committee. MUST SERVE HIS SENTENCE C. S. Hemstreet of Newport Beach failed to win his case in the appellate court, and must serve out the sentence of 150 days in jail and pay the fine of $300 given him by Judge West in the superior court. Hemstreet, a fisherman, was convicted of selling liquor to a minor at Newport Beach two years ago. He took an appeal to the superior court, and was convicted there by District Attorney West. Hemstreet's attorney went to the appellate court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, and the district attorney appeared against him, and won. Hemstreet is out on bond. Supervisor Linebarger was over from Fullerton on Tuesday on his way to the eastside to look after the road work. He will shortly take out the old bridge between this city and Fullerton and replace the same with modern improvements. Senator Writes Encouraging Letter from Washington Sugar beet growers and others interested in maintaining a tariff on sugar are much pleased with the reply received by the chamber of commerce of Santa Ana from United States Senator George C. Perkins. The chamber of commerce sent a resolution to Senators Perkins and Works, setting forth the great damage that would be done the sugar beet industry of this county should the tariff be removed, and urging the senators to use their best efforts to defeat the measure recently passed by the house of representatives. Senator Perkins in his reply says: "I shall oppose the reduction. I am fully aware of the importance of the beet sugar interests of our state and believe that the removal of duty would prevent perhaps entirely, the growing of beet and sugar cane in the United States. I think that in the senate we can defeat the action of the house, and that in the event of the bill passing both houses, the president would veto a bill calling for the abolition of duty." Senator Works dismisses the subject with this: "I am in receipt of your resolutions on the subject of the proposed reduction of the duty on beet sugar, and shall be glad to give it consideration with numerous other communications and resolution on the same subject." George Diedrich has received a letter from Henry Gatzens, who is at Nome, in the Arctic. Mr. Gatzens will remain in the north until next year, when he will return here. He writes the winter has been pleasant and that he has opened up another rich ledge. BUENA PARK The Buena Park Eastern Star Chapter will give another of their popular hops at the school hall on the evening of April 19th. They always have a fine crowd and good music. The school district election at the Centralla school brushed off a little of the gathered moss last Friday afternoon, and more will come off later on, as the women in the district are beginning to arouse from their slumbers and in the future are going to have something to say about matters and things. Heretofore from six to eight men have voted at this point, and it has taken two judges and a clerk to help them deposit their little slip of paper with one name on it in the little paper box prepared to receive it. One live woman called in some four families and induced them, male and female, to go and vote for a woman on the board. As soon as this leaked out a member of the board took the matter in hand and rushed frantically around and called out seventeen votes for his candidate, defeating the woman. Everybody in the district is glad he woke up, even if the woman was defeated, for there were thirty votes cast where eight was considered a large number heretofore. Anything to get people awake and alert. Rain fell on Monday night to the extent of .71 of an inch, bringing the total since March 1 to 6.57 inches. Total for the season 8.77 inches; last year to date 19.07 inches.

The total number of votes cast was 798. D. Gervais and E. E. Angell were chosen, defeating F. C. Spencer and Otto Storm, incumbents, who put up a hot fight for re-election. Mrs. Ida Tipton was also a candidate and was supported by many women. The result of the election is favorable to the retention of Prof. Walker as principal of the school. The total vote cast in this city was 682. Of these 255 were cast by women, who voted for the first time at an election here. The result of the poll was as follows: Gervais 337, Angell 308, Spencer 289, Storm 285, Mrs. Ida Tipton 122.

Mr. Gerdes when seen at his home yesterday declared that Henry E. Huntington was not associated in the enterprise, and that the proposed line would operate independently of the Pacific Electric system. Interested with Mr. Gerdes is W. E. Jones, who owns land at the corner of South and Los Angeles Sts., and whose Los Angeles office is located in the Pacific Electric system.

Mrs. Wallop was brought out as a candidate the day before election and her friends put up a spirited contest in her behalf. Supporters of Clabaugh were out in force, and the election was stubbornly contested throughout the day. The result probably indicates changes in the school faculty. In Fullerton high school district W. L. Hale and L. B. Steward were elected. A tie resulted between S. W. McCulloch and J. G. Launer. Another vote will probably be taken. In Fullerton grammar district Albert Sitton was elected. J. H. Bradford was elected school trustee in Magnolia district without opposition. In Loara district 86 votes were polled. John Eells and Mrs. Sadie Fishering were elected. The vote stood: John Eells 49, Mrs. Fishering 45, G. H. Goodale 40, Mrs. L. E. Yeoman 38. SELLS RANCH FOR $125,000 Placentia Property Changes Hands at Advance Nat Goodwin has sold his ninety-acre ranch at Placentia, bought two or three years ago from W. B. Hervey, the Santa Ana pioneer. The agreement of sale, signed on January 23, was placed on record this week. The sale is from Goodwin and his trustee, T. H. Dudley, of Ocean Park, to William Loftus and James P. O'Brien, oil men. Loftus gets a two-thirds interest and O'Brien one-third. There has been $10,000 paid.On May 1st $30,000 is to be paid and on Nov. 1st $23,000.The remainder is to be paid in 1913. By the agreement of sale all the implements and stock on the place go to the purchasers. The price named in the agreement is between $45,000 and $60,000 more than was paid by Goodwin for the Angeles and eastern capitalists in construction of a network of interurban railways radiating from this city.Mr. Gerdes when seen at his home yesterday declared that Henry E.Huntington was not associated in the enterprise,and that the proposed line would operate independently of the Pacific Electric system. Interested with Mr. Gerdes is W.E.Jones, who owns land at the corner of South and Los Angeles Sts.,and whose Los Angeles office is located in the Pacific Electric building. "We have looked over the ground thoroughly," said Mr. Gerdes,"and we believe our venture will be a profitable one.As soon as we file our articles of incorporation we shall ask for a franchise through this city.probably on Center and Los Angeles streets.We shall construct our line to Fullerton, Placentia, Olinda, Orange and Santa Ana.A line to Bay City is also in contemplation. "The company will be incorporated for $500,000.A liberal part of this has been already subscribed.We may at a later date offer stock for sale in this city and Los Angeles. "Energy will be developed by a central power plant,which may be located in this city or at some other point. "We expect to be operating car-ons on the line between Anaheim and Fullerton within a year after receiving franchises and rights of way.Franclises will be asked for through Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana." Mr. Gerdes would not reveal the identity of the Los Angeles and eastern capitalists who are in the deal with him,but says their names will be made public in due time. Mr. Gerdes' announcement will be received with great interest by our readers this morning.它 is known that the Pacific Electric railroad is about ready to enter Orange by extending its line from Santa Ana,and that officials of that company state that the line will reach Anaheim in two years. When informed of this fact Mr.Gerdes again stated that the Pacific Electric had nothing to do with the new company,which would be financed separate and apart from the Huntington interests. Mr. Gerdes is a former Chicago street-railway man,and he has devoted more than 20 years to railroading.He says he will have his articles of incorporation ready this week or next,and will immediately thereafter ask for a franchise through the streets of this city.Following that construction work will follow ATTACKED BY A DOG Alex Henderson Badly Bitten on One of Fullerton's Streets Alex Henderson of Fullerton had an encounter with a vicious bulldog Friday, and the results were a badly lacerated leg and a dead dog. Henderson was walking down Chapman avenue and the dog, which belonged to Mr. Rhaodes of the Santa Fe, attacked him without warning or provocation, sinking his teeth into the calf of his leg, causing an ugly wound. Henderson went after his revolver and returning to the Rhoades' home killed the dog, then had his leg dressed by a physician. The dog had shown no signs of rabies, but Henderson's impetuosity in killing him prevents future developments or examination. He thinks the dog was simply a vicious brute and attacked him because of its ill nature. Gerdes again stated that the Pacific Electric had nothing to do with the new company, which would be financed separate and apart from the Huntington interests. Mr. Gerdes is a former Chicago street-railway man, and he has devoted more than 20 years to railroading. He says he will have his articles of incorporation ready this week or next, and will immediately thereafter ask for a franchise through the streets of this city. Following that construction work will be taken up forthwith. STATION NAMED DYER The new station on the Southern Pacific between Santa Ana and Newport Beach at the point where the Santa Ana co-operative sugar company factory is being built is called Dyer. The station is named after the Dyer company, which has the contract for building the main factory building. The last three or four weeks has made a big change in appearance of the place where the factory is being built. Steel work is going into the air, and the place is assuming more the appearance of the big plant it will have upon it when the sugar making campaign begins next August. This week there was recorded at the courthouse a contract between the Santa Ana co-operative sugar company and C. McNeill, the contractor, who also has the contract for the $20,000 warehouse, for erection of the concrete flumes, railroad trestle, wagon beet dumps and beet sheds at the plant. The contract price is $17,995. Santos Carrisosa of this city has brought suit to quiet title to property here against Lizzie Witte and others.
