FIREMEN REPORT GRIEVANCES TO TRUSTEES RECOMMEND PURCHASE OF AUTO TRUCK INSTEAD OF ERECTION OF HOUSE AUTOMOBILE CLUB GRANTED PERMISSION TO SPEED ON STREET TESTING RACE ROUTE The inadequacy of the present fire fighting apparatus, the condition of a number of the hydrants and the necessity for improvements in various directions, was the burden of a report laid before the City Trustees on Thursday night by a committee of fire boys. The committee was composed of Chief Frank Tausch, Secretary W. T. Wallop and Ferd Backs, Jr. They had just completed an examination of all the hydrants in the city and found that very few of them are in perfect condition. According to Chief Tausch almost every dence on Davis street. Cost $800. To W. S. McFarlane, frame dwelling on Helena street. Cost $1000. To Joseph Backs, brick store building on North Los Angeles street. Cost $1500. City Attorney Ames reported that he had found confirmation for his opinion previously expressed, that the city would be liable for damages in case any of its employees should be injured in the discharge of their duties at the power house or on electric work and he recommended insuring them in an accident company as a protection. The clerk was instructed to secure figures on cost of insurance and report at next meeting. The request of C. H. Fisher for transfer of his wholesale liquor license from its present location at the corner of Lemon and Chartres streets to the Backs building on North Los Angeles street, was allowed. The question of closing Third South street was again called up by Father Dubbel who requested early action as the Sisters were being delayed in the erection of their convent buildings. The matter was laid over and will be settled outside of regular meetings. number of the hydrants and the necessity for improvements in various directions, was the burden of a report laid before the City Trustees on Thursday night by a committee of fire boys. The committee was composed of Chief Frank Tausch, Secretary W. T. Wallop and Ferd Backs, Jr. They had just completed an examination of all the hydrants in the city and found that very few of them are in perfect condition. According to Chief Tausch almost every plug was leaking and many of them cannot be opened because of the worn corners on the heads and the shortage of wrenches that will fit. The committee recommended that the money which it is proposed to use in the construction of a building be reverted to the purchase of an auto truck and other equipment. A suitable wagon can be secured for $1600. Also that a telephone from each of the systems be installed in a glass case on the lower floor of the city hall where the hose carts are kept so that the first man to respond to an alarm can learn the location of the fire before starting out to extinguish it. City Electrician Lewis recommended that new castiron nuts of uniform size be fitted in all the hydrants. This was so ordered. Mr. Lewis was also instructed to put in a new plug at the corner of Alberta and Los Angeles streets, one on the corner of Sycamore and North Philadelphia streets, and to replace a defective one on Sycamore and Los Angeles streets. Mains will also be laid on Cypress and Los Angeles to connect with the new hydrants. A committee from the Automobile Club, headed by F. C. Spencer, asked permission to use certain streets for their proposed auto races on the Fourth of July; also permission for the racers to try the roads on the mornings of the second and third, from four o'clock until seven. A half dozen machines will compete in the two races. The first one will be a straight run from West Anaheim, along Center street to East street. The other one will start at Center and Los Angeles, switch onto Walnut and thence on the County Road to the Ball road, thence back to the starting point. This is the track the contestants are desirous of trying out before trusting their machines over it in the afternoon of the Fourth.. The board considered three hours too long a period to have the streets transformed into a speedway, but meant them to start Marshal's Report Collected for light ... $1438.30 Collected for license ... 601.35 Collected for water ... 997.85 Total ... $3037.50 Delinquents Collected For water ... $63.05 For light ... 76.15 For license ... 6.00 Penalties ... 10.85 Total ... $154.05 Delinquents Reported For water ... $79.05 For license ... 3.25 For light ... 41.80 Total ... $124.10 Treasurer's Report Bal. on hand ... $16,237.03 Col. since last report ... 4,008.61 Total ... $20,245.72 Paid by warrants ... 3,741.68 Bal. on hand ... $16,504.04 Summary General Fund ... $16,504.04 Library Fund ... 139.14 1910 Bond Fund ... 1,269.66 Improvement, No. 2 ... 120.75 Improvement, No. 3 ... 108.00 Improvement, No. 4 ... 2,250.00 Improvement, No. 5 ... 675.00 Improvement, No. 6 ... 212.70 Improvement No. 7 ... 2,250.00 Electric Light Fund ... 2,691.28 Sewer Fund ... 13,633.10 $39,853.67 RECOVERED A DIAMOND Barney Hartfield Returns from Trip East Barney Hartfield returned on Friday evening from a five weeks trip east. He went as far as Boston, where he visited with his parents and other members of the family. He also spent some time in New York. Mr. Hartfield went east primarily to recover a large diamond, valued at $600, which was taken from him last November by Judson White in a bogus check transaction amounting to $1166. He had no difficulty in recovering his property, which was held by a Denver pawnbroker. He proved his property and it was after some hesitation on the part of the pawnbroker handed over to him. He ran into a blizzard in Colorado, there being three feet of snow upon the ground. He went to Larned, Kansas, where two smaller diamonds belonging to him were in possession of a lawyer who took them from White on his defense in court. These diamonds were not recovered, and Mr. Hartfield engaged an attorney to get possession of them. White was taken to Florida, tried on another forged-check charge and sentenced to prison.

At the meeting Monday night Dick Hollingsworth of the Chanslor & Lyons people of Los Angeles, was present and gave the boys a great deal of inside information in the game, he having participated in some of the big events in different parts of the country. He also promised to be present the day before the celebration and help arrange the many little details that will come to the surface just before the affair is staged.

Numerous committees from both the Eagles lodge and the Automobile Club are working every day to bring details to a head in the perfection of a program that will appeal to every visitor to the city on that day. The Eagles have voted to hold an all-day picnic at Columbia Gardens and they have arranged their part of the affair so there will be "something stirring" from the booming of the first gun in the morning until the shades of evening close in on the retiring day and call the tired revellers to their beds. There will be plenty of band music all day long, and interpolated with this feature will be attractions that will appeal to the little folks and their elders, in the way of races of various kinds, and other contests that amuse the younger set. At noon the Eagles will hold their big barbecue and there will be plenty of roasted meat and bread for all who come. This part of the program will be in charge of men experienced in the work and it is promised that you will enjoy a feed of this sort after a strenuous half day of pleasure in the morning. Arrangements are being made to interest the Japanese colony in conducting a big display of fireworks in the evening, and this part of the program will probably soon be arranged for. Another feature of the evening will be a confetti battle on Center street and everybody will participate in this. Then will follow a grand ball, which will wind up the festivities undertaken by the Eagles. Invitations have been extended by the local aerie to about 100 aeries located throughout Southern California and already replies have been received from some saying that large sized delegations will attend the celebration. It bids fair to be one of the largest gatherings of Eagles ever held in this part of the state. And now comes that part of the program being arranged by the Automobile Club. The several committees have been doing some strenuous work, looking to a perfection of their plans for the entertainment of visitors, and the result of their work so far is a program of five racing events.

C. Spencer of the club reported that permission had been obtained from the board of trustees to use certain streets in the city on that day for racing purposes. The trustees even went further in lending their aid to the affair by promising to have a few bad places in the streets fixed up before the big day arrives. President Spencer also reported that the matter of obtaining permission to use a small stretch of county road which forms part of the racing course had been taken up with the county officials but as the supervisors would not meet until sometime this week he could give out nothing definite, except that he had it from County Clerk Williams that there would probably be no trouble in securing the needed permission at the board meeting this week. The program committee reported the following racing program for the day, the events to start shortly after dinner, the exact hour to be fixed at a later meeting: Free-for-all-race, five laps around a course of four and one-half miles, the start to be made on Center St. and the finish on Los Angeles St. at the intersection of Center.

It was a pleasant visit that was enjoyed by followers of the gasoline route of the county seat and this city and after the visit was over local members escorted the party out of town and wished them God-speed on the balance of the trip. The Santa Ana fellows were loud in their praise of the treatment received here and seemed to appreciate the attention shown them by local autoists. MADE THINGS LIVELY An exciting runaway in which the delivery team of Ahlborn & Raymond and a colt driven by Joe Fiscus figured prominently occurred last Saturday. Mr. Fiscus was driving his colt along South Los Angeles street when it frightened at approaching conveyances and leaped over the delivery team, landing on the lines between team and driver. J. P. Henry, in charge of the delivery wagon, got down to help unravel the tangle when the colt gave a second lunge, clearing the team. At this the delivery horses started on a run, finally running into a tree at Sycamore St. The horses were bruised a trifle, and the wagon and harness were pretty badly dilapidated. Nobody was injured. W. C. Clark of Mr. Dickel's force of bright young men is enjoying a well-earned vacation of a fortnight. A JURY IS IMPANELED Twelve Men Selected to Hear Evidence in Salz Murder Case Monday morning the last two men of the jury of twelve were secured to hear the evidence in the murder case pending against Rosario Saiz. The jury is composed of the following: W. L. Hale, H. W. Christensen, S. W. Price, Charles Carlson, Geo. Bernett, R. Raymond, C. R. Munson, W. T. Keener, C. Baughman, G. E. Norton, R. R. Cameron and H. C. Shipkey. Saiz faces a charge of having murdered Jose Machado near Sunset Beach in September, 1009, at a sheep shearing camp in which both were employed. Once before the defendant heard a jury bring in a verdict of guilty that caused him to be sentenced to hang, but a decision of the upper court on appeal saved him from the hangman's noose. This fact does not seem to cause any uneasiness to the defendant, according to a story coming from the county seat, and he faces the present jury with a face so complacent there seems no indication that his life is again in jeopardy. JUNE 20, 1912 NUMBER 38 HAVE BAD RECORDS Sheriff Digs Up Pasta of Bicycle Thieves at Orange Sheriff Ruddock has uncovered events in the careers of Frank Wright and his female companion that confirmed his suspicions that they are hardened criminals and have long been following thievery as an occupation. The sheriff went to police headquarters in Los Angeles where he dug up the records of the pair. He learned that both parties have served a one-year term each in San Quentin. Wright did time in the Sacramento jail also for bicycle stealing, and he is wanted at the present time for a felony at San Jose. At their trial in Santa Ana the woman was sentenced to three months in the county jail and Wright to six months for stealing bicycles. When the latter's term is up he will be turned over to the San Jose officers. This couple arrived in Orange about two weeks ago, rented a house and began stealing bicycles and selling them. They have confessed to the theft of nine bicycles. ANSWERS DEATH'S CALL COUNTY LADS WIN THE Y.M.C.A.

INTERESTED IN RACES Anaheim Folks Will Watch the Scorching at Santa Ana Next Sunday The indications are many Anaheim auto "fans" will journey to Santa Ana next Sunday to witness the exciting racing program that has been arranged by speed lovers of the "gasoline route." The great big event of the day will be a matched race at 2 o'clock between Bud McAlvay driving an E.M.F. 30, with Bert Shingledecker as machinician, and Tom Ingram in his Ford 20, with a Los Angeles machinician, whose name has not yet been learned. A purse of $1000 a side has starting from the Gazette office in the Y.M.C.A. relay race from this city to Huntington Beach a distance of seventeen miles, on Saturday afternoon at half-past one, Martenet sprang away at the call of "Go," and sprinted in easy stride down Center street in the first half-mile lap of a contest between county boys and a team of thirty-four runners from Santa Ana. The latter city some weeks ago issued a challenge for the race and same was accepted by boys of this city, Fullerton, Garden Grove and Huntington Beach. The county boys were victorious; winning over Santa Ana by forty-four seconds. The Santa Ana boys started at the same instant from that city. The runners met at a point three miles this side of Huntington Beach, when the course lay along the county road to that town. Entering this stretch of thoroughfare, the county boys were a quarter of a mile in the lead with Santa Ana pressing them hard with a half dozen of its best runners. The Anaheim boys ran the first five and one-half miles from this city to Garden Grove in twenty-six minutes. The race was at that point taken up by Fullerton boys, who with lads from Garden Grove and Huntington Beach completed the race. Beebe, crack sprinter of the Anaheim squad, ran two laps, taking the place of one of the Huntington Beach boys. He ran the fastest half mile in the race in two minutes, six seconds. The fastest mile was made by Beebe and Cooley in four minutes, 23 seconds. A large crowd witnessed the finish at the beach, and great enthusiasm prevailed when the announcement was made that the outside lads were victorious over the county seaters. Following Martenet were a number of local runners in automobiles, accompanied by Prof. Culp, their coach, Charles Eygabroad, Walter Ross, W. M. Wickett, L. C. Yeoman, Wm. McLauchlin and George B. Key, of Placentia, president of the Orange Co. Y.M.C.A. Prof. Culp had been in communication over the telephone with R. J. Hamilton, county secretary of the Y.M.C.A., at Santa Ana, and promptly at 1:30 came the order to Martenet to start. Martenet started at a fast clip amid a chorus of "Go's" from the company of young enthusiasts assembled. He ran through the crowded streets, eluding automobiles... The great big event of the day will be a matched race at 2 o'clock between Bud McAlvay driving an E.M.F. 30, with Bert Shingledecker as machinician, and Tom Ingram in his Ford 20, with a Los Angeles machinician, whose name has not yet been learned. A purse of $1000 a side has been hung up on this event and both men promise to get everything out of their cars that the machines possess. The race is to be a 25-mile event and from talk that is going around it seems that both drivers are in prime condition for the go, with each man figuring he will come under the wire winner at the finish. In addition to the feature race of the afternoon those who have the affair in charge have framed up a number of minor events which promise to be interesting and will also demonstrate the "scorching" qualities of the various makes of cars entered in the speed tryouts. Heiney Braden, Bud McAlvay and Bert Shingledecker were on the Santa Ana track last Sunday for a tryout of their machine to see that the wagon was in shape for the big stunt to be pulled off next Sunday. MILLS OF JUSTICE GRIND. Three Plain Drunks Fined by Judge Howard Monday Morning The grist ground in the court of Judge Howard last Monday morning amounted to three plain drunks picked up Saturday night. "Guilty, your honor," was the plea of each and two were assessed fines of $5 each, while one had a $10 assessment hooked onto him.
