Thursday, April 11 An Invasion of Santa Ana The I. W. W.'s Take Forcible Possession of Train and Visit County Seat Ninety-two members of the I.W.W. rode into Santa Ana about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning on a freight from Fullerton, to which point they traveled the day previous from Los Angeles. At Fullerton they had speeches on the street by two of their number. When the night freight started out of the yards the men piloted on and would not get off. The train crew were helpless before the big gang, and had to let them ride. The gang got off at Santa Ana and declared their intention of staying until night. They had two objects, one was to visit and condo with the twenty-four I.W.W. members held in the county jail for San Diego, and the other was to hold speaking on the street. They declared that they were bound for San Diego to take part in the free-speech fight there, and were going in such numbers and in a body as to defeat police attempts to handle them. One of them said 100 more of their kind had left Los Angeles bound for San Diego. They elected a man named Sebastia as their leader. He and six others as a committee asked Sheriff Ruddock for a permit to visit the I.W.W. contingent in jail, and were refused, because the sheriff would not violate his jail rules, Wednesday not being a visiting day. On applying to city authorities for a permit to talk, any of its streets, and the speaking would not be stopped as long as the peace was not disturbed or traffic blocked. The gang that camped at Santa Ana was composed largely of foreigners and youngsters, some of them not over 18 years of age. Dozens of them spent the day in the Santiago Creek bed. Wednesday afternoon Cade Selvy, chief special agent of the Santa Fe, and C. A. Rothenhoefer, a special agent, went to Santa Ana from Los Angeles and requested that warrants be issued for the men who stole rides from Fullerton. Owing to the fact that the men as individuals could not be identified, the district attorney refused to authorize warrants for the acts, but stated that he would agree to prosecute any case brought to him with evidence. According to Joe Miller, one of the leaders of the Industrial Workers, 40,000 idle men in Kansas City, 30,000 in San Francisco and thousands in other cities throughout the country will be brought to Southern California, if necessary, to win the free-speech fight now on at San Diego. A portion of the men marched to Capistrano and announced that they would remain there until joined by 200 more, when all would begin a march upon San Diego. The men were forced to walk out of Santa Ana by officers, who guarded all... MEET A WARM RECEPTION Wouldn't Workers Turned Back at San Diego County Line Armed with pickhandles, blacksnakes and firearms, a posse of 100 San Diego deputy sheriffs met a delegation of Wouldn't Workers at San Onofre at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning and halted their progress toward the southern city. That the tourists were roughly handled is the report which reached this city later in the day. One of them is said to have sustained a broken leg and several others were so badly beaten they were taken to the hospital in automobiles. The Wouldn't Workers, numbering 90 or more, took possession of the night freight train over the Santa Fe at 11 o'clock on Wednesday night their destination being San Juan, where they expected to go into camp and await reinforcements from the north. They were headed for San Diego to assist their comrades in the "free-speech" agitation now afflicting that city. A number of peace officers were in the caboose of the train, among them Officer Germann of this city and Deputy District Attorney Koepsel of Santa Ana. Several railroad officials were also aboard. The Wouldn't Workers filled one flat car and many took passage in a boxcar. Being informed of the presence of the reception committee at San Onofre, the railroad crew did not stop at San Juan, but continued to the San Diego line, twelve miles distant, where the train was flagged. The officers seized the wouldn't workers and yanked them from the train. They were stood in line, hands up, and searched. A number of firearms were taken from them. They were informed they would not be permitted to go to San Diego, and, according to reports, a beautiful roughhouse resulted in which the tourists had 100 idle men in Kansas City, 30,000 in San Francisco and thousands in other cities throughout the country will be brought to Southern California, if necessary, to win the free-speech fight now on at San Diego. A portion of the men marched to Capistrano and announced that they would remain there until joined by 200 more, when all would begin a march upon San Diego. The men were forced to walk out of Santa Ana by officers, who guarded all railroad trains, and refused to allow them to board the cars. GROWTH OF ORANGE COUNTY Recorder's Office Shows Proof of This Section's Advance No other proof of the remarkable growth of Orange county during the last year is needed than the records of the office of County Recorder George E. Peters. Comparison of the fee receipts of any one month in the last six or eight months with the corresponding month of the year previous shows a gain that indicates that Orange county is forging ahead. March, 1912 gave in $1589.25 in fees, as against $1398.80 of March, 1911. February showed a most remarkable gain with the figures $1,497.70 for 1912 as against $1045 for 1911, and January of 1912 shot far ahead of January, 1911, as shown by the sums $1722.40 for 1912, and $1,309.50 for 1911. "The activity is shown both in country and cities," said Recorder Peters. "This county is growing rapidly. A large number of new farms have been sold, several hundred of them. And the best of it is that it keeps getting better all the time." "One thing I have noticed is that for a presidential year money does not seem to be tightening up as is generally the case. Nearly all the mortgages filed here are six and seven per cent mortgages, which does not indicate that money is tightening up." BOY SCOUTS OUTING Troop No. 2 Has All-Day Hike to the Hills Anaheim Troop No. 2, Boy Scouts of America, had their second hike all the reception committee at San Onofre, the railroad crew did not stop at San Juan, but continued to the San Diego line, twelve miles distant, where the train was flagged. The officers seized the wouldn't workers and yanked them from the train. They were stood in line, hands up, and searched. A number of firearms were taken from them. They were informed they would not be permitted to go to San Diego, and according to reports, a beautiful roughhouse resulted, in which the tourists were routed. They were herded in a corral until daylight, when they started back to San Juan. They arrived at Serra at nightfall, and went into camp for the night. Sheriff Ruddock was in telephonic communication with his deputies at San Juan, and ordered reinforcements from the county seat. Ruddock notified the wouldn't workers to move on. Officer Germann and Deputy District Attorney Koepsel continued on the train to Oceanside, where they caught the northbound freight towing the Wild West show, and accompanied that train north. Germann arrived in town at 6:15 Thursday morning. "We took no part in the reception to the Wouldn't Workers," he said on his arrival. "The San Diego officers were in sufficient numbers for that. We were guarding the train, which pulled out after a brief stop, and we brought back the early morning freight having the Wild West show. As we passed San Onofre we saw the wouldn't workers herded in a stock corral. I saw no not seem to be tightening up as is generally the case. Nearly all the mortgages filed here are six and seven per cent mortgages, which does not indicate that money is tightening up." BOY SCOUTS OUTING Troop No. 2 Has All-Day Hike to the Hills Anaheim Troop No. 2, Boy Scouts of America, had their second hike all day on Friday. One party, in charge of Scoutmaster Wayne Goble, left fifteen minutes ahead of the other contingent, which was under command of Patrol Leader Joe Elliott. The first squad, by use of signs and signals, made a trail which the second crowd were to follow. This they did for some distance, but lost the trail where someone had rubbed out the signals. This bunch then tramped to the Olive hills and spent the day there, while the first party, after waiting two hours for their comrades, continued on their way to a grove southwest of the town, where they encamped. Each party had a way-up outing and learned a few more things about the great out-doors. State Veterinarian Keane has notified the supervisors that the quarantine against Orange county cattle has been raised except for a small portion of the southwest part of the county. Quarantine is for Texas fever ticks. Remember W. M. Cooper for the best of fresh meats. ANAHEIM GAZETTE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Considering Propriety of Calling a Bond Issue for Bridges The board of supervisors at their last meeting voted to appropriate $4,000 for building a bridge across the Santiago creek at Tustin avenue and $1800 for a bridge across the Santa Ana river at West Seventeenth St. The supervisors discussed informally the advisability of a bond issue of from $60,000 to $100,000 for building nine other bridges in the county. Bridges are one of the needs of nearly every section of the county. Yorba and Olive bridges need to be replaced. One is needed on Talbert road and one at Anaheim Landing, an other between Anaheim and Fullerton and one or two near San Juan Capistrano, and others elsewhere. It seems to be the expectation of the supervisors to submit the bridge bonds, county poor farm and hospital bonds at the presidential primaries, May 14. The suggestion of the associated chambers of commerce that a direct tax be levied to raise the money for the poor farm and hospital seems not to meet with the approval of the supervisors, who have considered the matter carefully. Supervisor Linebarger was given permission to spend in excess of $300 in Anaheim and Buena Park road districts. A contract was awarded Sweetzer & Baldwin for $1200 for a safe for the tax collector's office. A new typewriter desk for the sheriff's office and a new desk for the treasurer's office were allowed. County Treasurer Joplin was given a leave of absence. The petition of the Yorba Linda EGGE GOES TO SANTA ANA Superintendent of Anaheim Sugar Mill Takes New Position Los Angeles, Cal., April 3, 1912. Editor Gazette.—O. H. Egge, superintendent of Anaheim Sugar Co., has contracted with the Santa Ana Co-operative Sugar Co. to go with them as superintendent and will begin his new duties May 1st. Every stockholder in Anaheim will be sorry to have Egge go as he is a man of exceptional ability. He was for eight years superintendent at Loveland, Colo., for the Great Western Sugar company, and came from there to Anaheim in the fall of 1910. The Anaheim plant is proof of his ability both as an engineer and as superintendent. He is a young man who began life with nothing but his ambitions, worked in sugar mills, and on his earnings educated himself so that he has a thorough technical knowledge as well as practical knowledge of the operation of sugar mills. Although a man in the early thirties he is known in the sugar fraternity as one of the best superintendents and factory men in the United States. Anaheim Sugar Co. has not decided on a man for the position as yet. Mr. Egge will move with his family to Santa Ana in the near future. Sincerely, H. S. Hadsall. LIEUT.

RECENT SCENES IN CONGRESS This week closes four months of congressional work. As usual presidential year, little legislation national importance has been enacted. The congressmen have not been idle. The garden seeds have been shipped on their insinuating mission of flattery to the citizen. A stream of visitors has been paraded to the White house. River and harbor are public buildings' bills are marching on. The Congressional Record bucks with speeches of which the members heard only the opening period. But when it comes to those diverse issues on which new lines of cleavage are opening under your best barbed wire fences, a motion to adjourn is always good, safe, conservative politics. Some typical scenes are described by a friend just returned from the capitol. One day Hayes of California, republican, and Sisson of Mississippi, democrat, were talking. PROGRESS IN OIL FIELDS Development Work Extending in the Western Field Two rigs are going up on the Standard's Emory lease, south of the Murphy property west of Fullerton, and active drilling will be started there in a few weeks. The new camp of the Standard will test out territory that has been partly proved by the Murphy but the proposition may be considered chiefly wildcat as all the Standard's wells so far have been. Should oil be found on the Emory ranch, the McComber and McNally ranches will look like promising oil ground for exploration. The Petroleum has a tract south of the Emory ranch along the Santa Fe under a lease and the Union has land this side of the Emory and north of the Santa Fe. The Emory wells will be out on a line from the Standard's Stern & Goodman lease. The Emory lease is in sections 19 and 30. Murphy company is making good headway on two wells, Nos. 6 and 7. The Industrial on its Coyote Hills well is down over 1000 feet and making satisfactory progress. The Midway oil company will soon have a well going south of the Amalgamated and the Preferred company, another new operator, has a rig up on the extreme south side of the Pitman lease. The Amalgamated has shut off water in No. 5 and resumed drilling. In No. 3 water is still being pumped. No. 1 has been spudded in. On No. 2 the sand has loosened up and the well has started flowing again, much stronger. It has been on the pump. Big things are looked for on the LIEUT. BEALE IN MAINE Sees Nothing But Snow and Ice in Blizzardland Augusta, Maine, Mar. 31, 1912. Editor Gazette—A few lines of greeting from the land of snow and ice. We have had about fifty different kinds of weather. I like it for a change; but to live, give me good old Anaheim, and sunny California. About all I can see here outside of the buildings is snow and ice. I am having a splendid time. The boys of the different companies of the uniform rank are trying to see if they can knock me out, and send me back to California on a stretcher. You have seen from the paper what a time I had in Norfolk, Va. It is the same all along the line, in New York and in Boston, in Augusta, Lewiston and Auburn. I was the guest of Lieut.-Col. Ames and wife, and they certainly put themselves out to make it pleasant for me. From here I go to Boston and on to North Adams, Mass., and then back to New York for two weeks. I have never had a more enjoyable time in my life; am afraid they will spoil me before I get back. This morning I attended the church where my father went to worship as a boy 75 years ago. Yours truly, B. T. Beale. A local Augusta paper makes the following mention of Lieut. Beale's visit in that city: "Lieut. B. T. Beale of Anaheim, California, is the guest of Harry Ames at his home on Goff street, Auburn. He is visiting friends in Maine and greatly enjoying his stay." FORCE OF MEN ADDED New Equipment Being Installed Will Materially Increase Capacity of Sugar Mill The Anaheim sugar factory is now busily engaged in adding new equipment to raise it from a capacity of 600 tons of beets a day to 750 tons. Before the copious rains of the past month, these orders for new material were being held, but now a good crop is assured and the improvements are being rushed. There will not be a larger force of men employed, other than the men who are kept during the winter. If ges with speeches of which the members heard only the opening period. But when it comes to those diverse issues on which new lines of cleavage are opening under your best barbed wire fences, a motion to adjourn is always good, safe, conservative politics. Some typical scenes are described by a friend just returned from the capitol. One day Hayes of California, republican, and Sisson of Mississippi, democrat, were talking. The speeches were able even if partisan the subject, the tariff, was vital. Yet only about 25 members felt called upon to listen while two populous commonwealths were in effect addressing the nation. Some would slouch down in their chairs and extend their nine size boots, bury their noses in newspapers, or drift land gently out of the hall, as if to express contempt for any contrary opinion. A few rooters would drift into bang the desks in applause, leaving when the opposite party had their innings. And yet our statesmen all wonder why they are not more venered. The income tax, "money trust," etc have led to spirited debates, in which the growing unwieldiness of the house is more and more apparent. The incessant undertone of conversation is not much checked by the speaker's gavel. Short hand reporters find they must locate under an orator's sawing arms to catch his words correctly. Disorderly members have to be howled down by Champ Clark's big bass voice. Our statesmen cling to their luxurious arm chairs and desks, even though this necessitates a hall twice too big for orderly business. And still they keep adding to the size of the house. John Seliger, aged 60, an old offender, was on Saturday sentenced to thirty days in the county jail by Judge Howard. John has been considerable of a nuisance for some time past, having served three terms of five days each in the city bastile. He was informed that if he showed up drunk again he would be sent to jail for six months.

On No. 2 the sand has loosened up and the well has started flowing again, much stronger. It has been on the pump. Big things are looked for on the Orange No. 3, which is now in oil-sand. There is heavy gas pressure and the outlook is that it will repeat the productivity shown in the Menges No. 5. The pressure is spurting oil spray over the derrick and the well is attracting much attention. The Robert Watchorn well is now down over 1000 feet and is on the rotary. The Petroleum has started the 10-inch at about 2000 feet. Remarkable progress has been made on this well. The Yriarte well has been cemented. What its production may be is not yet known.

The Anaheim sugar factory is now busily engaged in adding new equipment to raise it from a capacity of 600 tons of beets a day to 750 tons. Before the copious rains of the past month, these orders for new material were being held, but now a good crop is assured and the improvements are being rushed. There will not be a larger force of men employed, other than the men who are kept during the winter. If they are unable to complete the work a larger force will be put on. The equipment being added is supplementary machinery which will give a greater efficiency and more capacity to the sugar mill. Four new dumps are being added. The farmers are putting in their crops. The size of this year's output will depend upon the amount of rainfall during the remainder of this and next month. Enough rain has fallen to insure a good crop, but if more falls a larger crop will be harvested. It is expected that the crop will amount to nearly 60,000 tons. The new public utilities act that went into effect March 25 has largely increased the powers and duties of the railroad commission. In order to handle the added business for the public the commission was compelled to lease three times its former office space and move into the Commercial building, San Francisco. Prior to this date the commission maintained offices in the ferry building, where the state, as landlord, receives from all tenants the same rent as is charged in office buildings uptown.
