A DAY IN THE OILFIELDS BY LOCAL BOOSTERS TWO HUNDRED CITIZENS HAVE ENJOYABLE OUTING FULLERTON, BREA AND OLINDA ARE VISITED DESCEND UPON STANTON AND TAKE LOVING CUP Continued from Page One great strides Placentia in common with other sections of the county is making. STANTON CUP LIFTED Boosters Defeat Santa Ana by Vote of 249 to 165 Announcement that the Booster trip would be continued to Stanton was greeted with manifestations of approval. By an unfortunate mixing of dates the Booster trip and barbecue were booked for the same date. This was in no wise due to action of the Anaheim board of trade, which arranged for its trip a month ago, before the date of the barbecue had been announced. There has existed no bitterness in this city toward its new neighbor on the south, and its progress and prosperity meets with the most cordial co-operation on the part of this city. The outfall sewer proposition is a thing of the past. The feeling engendered during the discussion a year ago has subsided, and there exists nothing here but the best of good fellowship for Stanton. Moreover this city has absolutely nothing to do with the present case in court attacking validity of Stanton's incorporation. That is a Boosting Committee, Anaheim Board of Trade, Anaheim, Cal.—Dear Sir: I wish to express my appreciation of the courtesy received at the hands of yourself and associates yesterday and the evening before, and to say that the pleasure and profit derived from a day's outing of that character cannot be expressed in mere words. If the railways and the people are to solve their problems in common, and that is the only way they can be solved satisfactorily, then it is necessary that both sides should have a better understanding of each other and there is nothing like personal contact to bring such understanding about. I sincerely trust the acquaintance so happily begun will be continued in the same spirit and will count it a pleasure to add my mite in bringing about that result. Again thanking you and wishing yourself and associates continued success, I am, yours very truly, J. G. Stubbs, General Freight Agent. F. E. Batters, general passenger agent, who was to have accompanied the Boosters, but who was called to San Francisco on important business, telegraphs Mr. Duckworth as follows: San Francisco, May 23, '12. Please say to board of trade I regret that important business has detained me in San Francisco preventing my being with them today. Extend my best wishes to the board of trade of the city of Anaheim for its continued prosperity and development, and the further development of the magnificent country surrounding it. F. E. Batters. WARRANT OUT FOR TEACHER Santa Ana School Principal Faces new neighbor on the south, and its progress and prosperity meets with the most cordial co-operation on the part of this city. The outfall sewer proposition is a thing of the past. The feeling engendered during the discussion a year ago has subsided, and there exists nothing here but the best of good fellowship for Stanton. Moreover this city has absolutely nothing to do with the present case in court attacking validity of Stanton's incorporation. That is a matter for Stanton citizens to settle by themselves. Stanton had not been included in the itinerary of the Booster trip. When, however, a council of Boosters was held at Olinda and decision arrived at to pay Stanton a pleasant visit, the fact met with instant approval. The stay at the oil fields had to be shortened and a telephone message was sent to Placentia shortening the stay there. On arriving at Stanton the Boosters were met by P. A. Stanton, W. H. Kennedy, Mr. Buntaine, Mr. Barter and many other citizens of that community. It was too late for the barbecue, for the hour was 4:15. Each booster deposited a vote, and cheers were given for Stanton and Anaheim. Santa Ana had sent over a large delegation who were desirous of lifting the cup. The vote as announced later was Anaheim 249, Santa Ana 165, a majority for Anaheim of 84. The result became known in this city after return of the boosters and occasioned much pleasure and satisfaction. Many expressed the hope that previous ill-feeling between some people in each community was a thing of the past. ANAHEIM WILL HOLD CUP At Stanton's Next Birthday Will Have Larger Delegation That Anaheim will permanently hold the Stanton loving cup, offered to the town having the largest representation of its citizens at its birthday celebration, is the opinion of many of the local Boosters. By a vote of 249 to 165 this city won the cup on Thursday from Santa Ana, which was most eager to capture it. The day fell upon the date of the Booster Whirl into the oil fields, and it was at first feared Santa Ana would capture it. However, a council of war was held at Olinda at noon, and it was resolved to beat it to the new town, where a barbecue was in progress to celebrate the town's first birthday. Please say to board of trade I regret that important business has detained me in San Francisco preventing my being with them today. Extend my best wishes to the board of trade of the city of Anaheim for its continued prosperity and development, and the further development of the magnificent country surrounding it. F. E. Batters. WARRANT OUT FOR TEACHER Santa Ana School Principal Faces Serious Felony Charge A warrant has been issued for the arrest of R. C. Macdonald, who, on Wednesday of last week, left his position as principal of McKinley school at Santa Ana and left for parts unknown. The complaint charges a felonious assault upon a 14-year-old girl of the McKinley school. In many ways the charge is a duplication of the charge that was brought against C. R. Peabody, who was principal of the Magnolia school. Upon conviction Peabody was sentenced to twenty-five years in San Quentin. Macdonald and his wife lived at Santa Ana. Several weeks ago the wife went to Paso Robles, where her father was ill. She has not been in Santa Ana since her departure at that time. Three months ago there was some talk concerning Macdonald, but on investigation at that time it seemed to indicate that the talk was mere gossip. On Sunday, May 12, the assault is alleged to have occurred at Mandonald's home, after the girl had called him up on the telephone and had been told to go there. Evidence was gathered by a neighbor of the girl, and on Wednesday was presented to the officers. An hour before the warrant was issued, Macdonald boarded a car for Los Angeles, saying that he was going to join his wife, who was very ill. He is known to have been in Los Angeles the following day. HELD FOR TRIAL Mexican Charged with Assault with Intent to Kill John Mansir, sometimes known as John Manzo, charged with a felonious assault on the person of Santos Carrisosa Jr. at this city on the evening of February 24th was given a preliminary examination in the township court at Santa Ana and held for trial under bonds of $1000.

Locity has better roads ges because experience played to build them finding fault and begin first step is to learn day celebration, is the opinion of many of the local Boosters. By a vote of 249 to 165 this city won the cup on Thursday from Santa Ana, which was most eager to capture it. The day fell upon the date of the Booster Whirl into the oil fields, and it was at first feared Santa Ana would capture it. However, a council of war was held at Olinda at noon, and it was resolved to beat it to the new town, where a barbecue was in progress to celebrate the town's first birthday. Fifty-two automobiles bearing not less than 200 Boosters rolled into Stanton shortly after 4 o'clock, and after that it was all off with the county seat. Had it not been for the Booster cavalcade the day would have been lost. "We are going to keep this cup," said J. W. Duckworth, on Saturday, "for at the next celebration at Stanton we shall have 500 Boosters present." "Make it a thousand," said Col. Martenet, "and I'm with you." "I raise it to 2000," said Hen Adams, "and if it takes more, you know where to find me." Anaheim is going to keep that cup. Senator Anderson can't have it. And as for Phil Stanton, if he isn't good, the Boosters will go out and nominate him for chief of police of the progressive town which bears his name. WORDS OF APPRECIATION Mr. Stubbs Writes of Pleasure of Accompanying Booster Whirl General Freight Agent Stubbs, who was a member of the party, writes the following letter to J. W. Duckworth: Los Angeles, Cal., May 24, '12. Mr. J. W. Duckworth, Chairman Mexican Charged with Assault with Intent to Kill John Mansir, sometimes known as John Manzo, charged with a felonious assault on the person of Santos Carrisosa Jr. at this city on the evening of February 24th was given a preliminary examination in the township court at Santa Ana and held for trial under bonds of $1000. Manzo is alleged to have stabbed Carrisosa during a quarrel and later he evaded arrest by leaving Anaheim and going to San Diego and still later he was arrested as the result of assaulting another Mexican and was thrown into jail, whence he was sent here on the charge growing out of the trouble with Carrisosa. ACTED IN SELF DEFENSE Los Alamitos Man Has Case Against Him Dismissed William Wheeler, charged with assault with intent to kill, was taken into the township court for preliminary hearing, but on the showing that defendant simply acted in self-defense, he was discharged from custody and the case against him dismissed. Wheeler shot Bernard Ruiz at Los Alamitos April 21, after Ruiz had followed him about from place to place and assaulted him. Ruiz was shot in the abdomen and severely wounded and was sent to the hospital, where he has since recovered. Don't let lice eat up your valuable poultry when it's so easy to get rid of them.

One hundred and twenty-five owners of autos signed the roll of charter membership, and a committee was appointed to work upon the eligibles who have not joined and increase this to five hundred. By a resolution it was voted that membership should not be limited to owners of machines, but all who favor better roads and are willing to lend aid to the work will be welcomed with open arms. The officers of the organization are, F. C. Spencer president, J. W. Wallop vice-president; W. W. Conklin secretary and treasurer. The board of directors consists of F. C. Spencer, W. W. Conklin, J. W. Wallop, P. J. Weisel, C. L. Swope and J. M. Jackson of Anaheim; W. H. Hole, La Habra; Col. Geo. Tyree, Stanton; W. L. Benchley, Fullerton; J. J. Turner, Garden Grove; James Forbes, Placentia; George Wilcox, of Buena Park; Frank McBride, Olinda; J. M. Donley, Orange, and Hugh McDonald, Tustin. President Spencer declared that the club was organized principally for the purpose of providing a place. Small badges bearing the design will also be struck for each member to wear on his person. A membership fee of $2 per year was voted, and the second Wednesday of each month designated as the meeting nights. LETTER FROM BERKELEY Preparing for Summer Session at University (From an Occasional Correspondent) Berkeley, May 27.—Lecturers and students are already beginning to gather at Berekeley, in readiness for the Summer Session of 1912. Laboratories, classrooms, machine shops, museums, collections, and athletic apparatus are being overhauled and everything being made ready for the two thousand or more students who are expected for the university’s summer term. To give men and women of all ages the opportunity of university instruction, instead of teaching only college youths—this is the spirit in which the University of California has planned the summer session. The work will begin June 24 and August 3. Anyone may enroll as a student, without entrance examinations and without limitation as to previous training. Those who prefer may come as auditors, with no responsibility for performing allotted tasks. Of the 1950 students in the last summer session of the university of California, three-fifths were teachers; only 375 were still college students; 415 represented thirty different occupations. Of the 1950, more than one-fifth had already received a university degree. Night courses, so planned that men and women employed throughout the day may spend their evenings, for THIRD SOUTH STREET WRANGLE SETTLED SISTERS OF ST. DOMINIC AND NEIGHBORS REACH AMICABLE AGREEMENT EOTH PARTIES ASK THE CITY DADS TO CLOSE UP THE STREET The controversy over the closing of Third South street, which was hotly debated before the City Trustees three weeks ago, was again up for discussion Thursday night, but on a different basis. This time all parties were in accord and eager to have the street closed. The Sisters of St. Dominic, who own the land on both sides, represented by Father Dubbel, and residents in the neighborhood headed by Prof. L. O. Culp, had reached a mutual understanding by holding a conference. Father Dubbel ridiculed the idea of an unsightly wall being erected around the convent grounds and gave his word that they would not be enclosed in any such manner, therefore all objection to the closing of the street was withdrawn and Prof. Culp appeared before the board with him and asked that the street be closed. The Sisters of St. Dominic own the land on both sides of the street and are erecting their group of convent buildings thereon. The street has never been used for traffic, being merely surveyed through a walnut grove. The board will consider the matter later after making a further investigation, and the street will probably be closed by due process of law. The board of directors consists of F. C. Spencer, W. W. Conklin, J. W. Wallop, P. J. Weisel, C. L. Swope and J. M. Jackson of Anaheim; W. H. Hole, La Habra; Col. Geo. Tyree, Stanton; W. L. Benchley, Fullerton; J. J. Turner, Garden Grove; James Forbes, Placentia; George Wilcox, of Buena Park; Frank McBride, Olinda; J. M. Donley, Orange, and Hugh McDonald, Tustin. President Spencer declared that the club was organized principally for the purpose of working in conjunction with proper officials for the improvement of highways. Also the question of speeding would receive the consideration of the club. This moved W. J. Elliott to remark that the matter of speeding need not be considered until the roads are mended, as the driver who attempted to travel faster than fifteen miles an hour anywhere in Orange county would be certain to wreck his machine. It was suggested that as a preliminary step the committee on good roads should keep tab on the worst breaks in the highways, call the attention of the proper authorities to them, and insist on repairs. The suggestion was adopted and the committee instructed to wait upon the city trustees and ask that immediate action be taken toward filling up or removing the pitfalls on Center street east of the Santa Fe railroad. H. V. Weisel was asked by President Spencer to state his views of the situation and made some suggestions. It is a recognized fact, he said, among drivers of autos and teams, that the roads of Orange county are the worst in Southern California. In coming out of Los Angeles or other adjoining counties a blind man would know when he crossed the Orange county line by the jolting of the machine. Much money is spent every year on the roads but it is not used to advantage. If this club and similar clubs in the county work in conjunction with the supervisors something will be accomplished. J. F. Ahlborn said he drove his machine to the beach Sunday and passed three autos wrecked because of the miserable roads. "It is astounding," he said, "to think of the amount of money spent on the roads of Orange county and the little that is accomplished. Los Angeles county has better roads and better bridges because experienced men are employed to build them. Let us quit funding fault and begin to work. The first step is to learn how much mo- come as auditors, with no responsibility for performing allotted tasks. Of the 1950 students in the last summer session of the university of California, three-fifths were teachers; only 375 were still college students; 415 represented thirty different occupations. Of the 1950, more than one-fifth had already received a university degree. Night courses, so planned that men and women employed throughout the day may spend their evenings, for six weeks, receiving regular university instruction which counts toward a degree, will be an important new development in this year's summer session. Among these evening classes will be courses in business organization and management, by Stephen W. Gilman, professor of business administration in the university of Wisconsin; in commercial law and in the law of bankruptcy and insolvency; in "contemporary political questions;" lectures in Spanish on the Spanish drama of today, by Professor Espinosa of Stanford, and an account of American literature, by Edwin W. Bowen, professor of English in Randolph-Macon college, and lectures on Greek art and culture by Professor Oliver M. Washburn, the university of California archaeologist, illustrated by the stereopticon and by the casts of Greek and Roman sculpture and the original antiquities from classic lands in the rich collections given to the university by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst. Another notable course will be a series of evening lectures in which Dr. Wilbur A. Sawyer, director of the California state hygienic laboratory, and a group of other men engaged in public health work, will discuss ways and means of stamping out disease and giving mankind health and long life through the achievements of preventive medicine. Migration of students from university to university, a custom which prevails in Germany and which much enriches a student's mental life, is little practiced in America. The summer session at Berkeley represents a contribution to this end, for many hundreds of graduates, students and teachers from other universities and colleges here taste for a few weeks the life of the University of California, and have the profit of comparison of methods and of men. Moreover, here the mountain comes to Mahomet, for it is an especial quality of the summer session at the University of California that its faculty is drawn from all over America. So California-bred students have before the board with him and asked that the street be closed. The Sisters of St. Dominic own the land on both sides of the street and are erecting their group of convent buildings thereon. The street has never been used for traffic, being merely surveyed through a walnut grove. The board will consider the matter later after making a further investigation, and the street will probably be closed by due process of law. Ordinance No. 243, fixing the salary of the city recorder at $50 per month, was passed and received the signature of the president and clerk. A communication from the Anaheim Union Water Co., relative to piping an open ditch on South Los Angeles street was read by the clerk. The company agrees to the proposition of the board and will pay half the cost. Building permits were granted to the following: To O. E. Steward, addition to residence on East Broadway; cost $250. To Slaughter Tobin, frame residence on North Olive street; cost $1000. To John Nogi, frame dwelling on Resh street; cost $100. To E. Kosel, by O. Lagman, contractor, frame residence on E. Broadway; cost $2000. The Hartford steam boiler inspection company submitted two propositions for re-insuring the boilers at the power plant, the present policies expiring on the 28th. The company agreed to issue a $15,000 policy for $135, or a $30,000 policy for $185. The board accepted the first offer and instructed the clerk to re-insure for $15,000. Trustee Stark suggested that it would be good policy to insure the lives of electric employees working among high voltage wires as in case of accident the city might be held responsible for damages. The question was turned over to City Attorney Ames. Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger asked the board to purchase a road disc as it is needed in his work on the streets. He was instructed to use his own judgment in purchasing same. The petition of certain residents on Alberta street for a fire hydrant was considered and at the suggestion of Manager Lewis the board agreed to make a personal inspection of the territory and decide upon the best place to erect it. It was also ordered that all hydrants should be tested J. F. Ahlborn said he drove his machine to the beach Sunday and passed three autos wrecked because of the miserable roads. "It is astounding," he said, "to think of the amount of money spent on the roads of Orange county and the little that is accomplished. Los Angeles county has better roads and better bridges because experienced men are employed to build them. Let us quit finding fault and begin to work. The first step is to learn how much money is available in each district of the county for road purposes. Then we can confer with the proper officials and endeavor to have it spent to better advantage." Chairman Spencer said he would get the figures asked for by Captain Ahlborn and report them at the next meeting of the club. C. E. Chamberlain, Joseph Fiscuus, J. J. Dwyer, C. L. Swope, J. J. Turner of Garden Grove, and others made short talks all in a similar strain and C. C. Chapman of Fullerton sent a letter of regret that a local affair prevented his attendance. A committee of five on membership and expansion was appointed. The committee consists of A. Valjean, W. W. Conklin, H. V. Weisel, G. T. Ingram, and C. L. Swope. Its duties are to secure all available timber in the club here and endeavor to extend the organization to other towns of the county. Charles Eygabroad suggested that the club advocate a tax of $10 per year for each machine, the sum collected to be devoted to road building. P. J. Weisel, Tom Ingram and J. W. Dickenson were appointed a committee to select an official design as a badge of membership, the same to be engraved on a plate and fastened to the machine in a conspicuous a contribution to this end, for many hundreds of graduates, students and teachers from other universities and colleges here taste for a few weeks the life of the University of California, and have the profit of comparison of methods and of men. Moreover, here the mountain comes to Mahomet, for it is an especial quality of the summer session at the University of California that its faculty is drawn from all over America. So California-bred students have opportunity to see how men are being taught at Princeton, Michigan or Yale. Among the men from other universities in next summer's faculty at Berkeley will be Stockton Axson, who will give courses on eighteenth and on nineteenth century literature; C. H. Van Tyne, professor of American history at Michigan; and others. County Bee Inspector J. E. Pleasant says that the prospects of the honey crop this season are very poor. Owing to late rains the principal honey plant, the black sage, is a failure and feed for the bees is scarce. Mr. Pleasant says good rains would help the situation some, but otherwise he predicts practically a total failure of the honey crop. A gold medal set with diamonds was presented to Glenn Martin, the Santa Ana aviator, last evening at a public meeting held in that city. The medal is a mark of appreciation of the people of Santa Ana and was ordered after Martin made his record breaking flight over Balboa to Catalina and back. No trouble to give Conkey's Roup Remedy.

Douglas and Wayne Goble and Assistant Raymond Elliott left yesterday afternoon on bicycles for a hike to the county park in Santiago canyon. They carried blankets and provisions for three meals. They were to camp near the county park last night and today they will spend the time in scout activities—such as first aid practice, tracking, signalling and games. They will return home this afternoon. Boy scouts from Orange and Santa Ana were expected to meet the Anaheim scouts at the park and join in the games and drills.
