SITE FOR A PARK IS OFFERED TRUSTEES OPTION ON BLOCK FOR NEW CITY HALL AND PARK TENDERED TO THE BOARD COMMITTEE OF MERCHANTS DEMAND THAT THE BANANA MAN SHALL MOVE ON A proposition which may ultimately develop into an important civic improvement was laid before the City Trustees Thursday night, and will be taken up for definite action at the next meeting. Trustee Hamler introduced the matter by presenting the offer of Dr. H. A. Johnson of a block of ground cornering at Center and Clementina streets to the city for a park and city hall site. The block has a frontage of 330 feet on Center street, and is offered at $75 per front foot, aggregating $24,750. A two-year option is given on the property. Mr. Hamler's proposition is the acquisition of the site, the erection of a new and up-to-date municipal building in the center, and the transformation of the grounds into a public park. He declares that he can raise half the purchase price by private subscription, that the city's property on Hermine street can be disposed of and the proceeds applied thereon, consequently the draft on the treasury for the purchase of the site would not be heavy. The matter was placed in the hands of Mr. Hamler and he will report progress at the next meeting. Ordinance No. 250, amending ordinance No. 179, relative to the appoint- To W. S. Conroy, frame residence on East Center street; cost $2,500. To E. B. Merritt, addition to frame residence on Philadelphia street; cost $400. To O. Lagman, contractor, alteration in Bethel church, corner Broadway and Lemon streets; cost $2,600. To N. Hart, alteration in brick business house on East Center; cost $450. As the new church will abut immediately on the sidewalk on Lemon street, and the proposed widening of the street, should it be consummated, would slice off about six feet of its front, the street commissioner was asked to communicate with the church authorities and lay the facts before them. The permit was granted but the trustees of the church will be asked to set the building back six and a half feet so it will conform to the new line should the street be widened. A petition signed by H. V. Weisel and others requesting that the Southern Counties Gas Company be ordered to remove its main from the parking on Sycamore street between Lemon and Los Angeles was read by the clerk. The petition was granted and Superintendent Kellenberger will oversee the job. As this pipe supplies Fullerton with gas that town will probably be gasless for a short period while it is being transferred to the street. Judge Shanley made an urgent plea to the board for a better street light at the corner of Lemon and Santa Ana streets. He said the light maintained on that crossing has a habit of going out when most needed and frequently on going home late he finds the corner dark and gets into deep water. He offered to pay for a new lamp and the cost of installation if the board would order it placed. The board refused his offer but instructed the city electrician to install a cluster of Tungsten lights on the corner. City Attorney Ames made a statement regarding the petition of a West Anaheim firm for the purchase of power from the municipal plant which had Ordinance No. 250, amending ordinance No. 179, relative to the appointment and duties of a plumbing inspector was passed and an ordinance amending the license tax ordinance now in force was introduced, and will come up for final passage at the next session. It makes some changes in the present rate. Oscar Renner and H. A. Dickel, representing the Merchants' Association, were present lobbying for the passage of the ordinance introduced at the last meeting which was tabled because of a tie vote, prohibiting vendors of fruit, meats, vegetables, etc., on the business streets. The merchants do not object to peddlers selling their wares, but their objection is that banana vendors or others persist in camping in front of stores and refuse to move on, remaining in one spot until their goods are disposed of. The ordinance, which failed for lack of a majority at the previous meeting, was resurrected and City Attorney Ames instructed to make some alterations in it, and in its modified form it will probably become a law at a future meeting. The sections of Center street between Claudina and Clementina, and Los Angeles and Lemon from Chartres to Oak and Chestnut are proscribed territory. Fish peddlers are exempt. The demand for adequate protection to traffic at the arilroad crossings moved the Santa Fe railroad to send a representative to Anaheim who, accompanied by Local Agent Clabaugh, appeared before the board and presented a proposition which, he claims, is superior to the flagman. The apparatus which they are desirous of installing is a new invention and combines the three systems of signaling—motion, light and sound. It consists of a disc two feet in diameter which wigwags across the street on the approach of a train. It also rings a bell and sheds a bright light after dark. The company claims it is preferable to the human flagman because it is always on the job—never going to sleep or going into the house to warm its feet, and asked permission to place one at the Center-street crossing on trial. The request was granted, and the bell now in use there will be removed to the Broadway crossing. City Attorney Ames made a statement regarding the petition of a West Anaheim firm for the purchase of power from the municipal plant, which had been submitted to him at a previous meeting. The law, he said, permitted the city to sell power if the plant produced a surplus after the needs of the municipality were provided for. Mr. Ames was directed to draw up an ordinance granting the power house officials permission to sell the juice.

Head, city attorney of Stanton, notifying the board that, although Stanton had no ordinance governing the trimming of trees on her streets, there was a state law covering the obstruction of streets and the shade trees fronting Anaheim's property in that city would be considered a nuisance until some of the lower branches were lopped off. The superintendent of streets was instructed to investigate the matter and remove the nuisance if any existed. A number of building permits were granted, as follows: To J. S.

AWFUL SENTENCE FOR SCHOOL TEACHER SANTA ANA INSTRUCTOR GETS TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN THE STATE PENITIARY CONVICTED OF FELONY ON THE CHARGE OF MISS HELEN HAMBELTON R. C. MacDonald, a Santa Ana school teacher who was convicted of felony charged against him by one of his girl pupils, was on Friday in the superior court sentenced by Judge West to serve 25 years in San Quentin penitentiary. The scene in court at the time was intensely dramatic, MacDonald vehemently protesting his innocence, and his sister, who sat by his side, sobbing violently. The sentence of MacDonald is similar to that meted out to C. R. Peabody, the Magnolia school teacher convicted of a like offense, and who was some months ago sentenced to serve a similar term in the same penitentiary. The courtroom was crowded with people who had gathered at 2 o'clock, the hour for sentence. District Attorney West and Deputy Koepsel, who prosecuted MacDonald, and Attorney Clyde Bishop, who with Attorney Epstein defended, were present. The strain of the trial had been too much for the prisoner's wife, and she was unable to be present. Mrs. Garrett, a beautiful woman, resident of San Francisco, who has stood by her brother and two friends were with MacDonald. When Judge West called the case, MacDonald stood up and advanced. NEW POSTOFFICE REGULATIONS IN FORCE NEWSPAPER MEN ARE COMPLYING WITH LAWS ENACTED BY DEPARTMENT SEVERE PENALTIES PROVIDED FOR FAILURE TO MAKE IMEDIATE COMPLIANCE New postal laws and regulations have been announced by the Postoffice Department at Washington, and are now being complied with by publishers throughout the country. These regulations require an affidavit from publishers, giving the names of the proprietors, publishers, and managing editors of such publications together with information concerning bonded or mortgage indebtedness upon the office. They also require that all reading notices for which pay is accepted shall be plainly marked "advertisements." Failure to comply with the new order will subject publishers to severe penalties. Extracts from the new laws and regulations are as follows: Sec. 467½. It shall be the duty of the editor, publisher, business manager, or owner of every newspaper, magazine, periodical, or other publication to file with the Postmaster General and the postmaster at the office at which said publication is entered, not later than the first day of April and the first day of October of each year, on blanks furnished by the Post Office Department, a sworn statement setting forth the names and post-office addresses of the editor and managing editor, publisher, business managers, and owners, and, in addition, the stockholders, if the publication be owned by a corporation; and also the names of known bondholders, mortgagees, or other security holders; and also, in the case of daily newspapers, there shall be included in such statement the average of the number of copies of each issue of such publication sold or distributed to paid subscribers during the preceding six months: the hour for sentence. District Attorney West and Deputy Koepsel, who prosecuted MacDonald, and Attorney Clyde Bishop, who with Attorney Epsteen defended, were present. The strain of the trial had been too much for the prisoner's wife, and she was unable to be present. Mrs. Garrett, a beautiful woman, resident of San Francisco, who has stood by her brother and two friends were with MacDonald. When Judge West called the case, MacDonald stood up, advanced and with his hands lifted, he declared in a dramatic manner: "Judge, as God is above, I am innocent. I never wronged Helen Hambelton by any act or in any manner. As I hope to stand before the great white throne, I am innocent. All those witnesses perjured themselves to railroad me to the penitentiary. It was a frame up." Calmly, Juge West proceeded with his task, which he declared to be an arduous one. He said he never knew a more persistent, able defense put up than was put up for MacDonald. "Had I been a juror sworn to try the case," said the judge, "I could not have brought in any other verdict than guilty. There is not a speck of doubt in my mind but what you are guilty. "My task is made hard because of your poor pale-faced wife, whom you have dragged down to this situation; because of your faithful sister, who has come down here from San Francisco to help you; because of your frail mother, tottering upon the edge of the grave. Should she hear of this I expect she would be so shocked that she would cross the Great Divide." Mrs. Garrett, who had wept silently, broke into sobs, and in hysterics she was taken from the courtroom. "I am innocent," declared MacDonald. "Some day you will know I am innocent." "The pitiful side of this situation from your side has been shown here," said the judge. "Think now upon Helen Hambelton, and her poor mother, who makes her living over the washtub. Think of the great State of California, and what it demands of its courts." "You have taught for sixteen years. (MacDonald had stated he was 38 years old and had taught sixteen years.) To you have been given tender children to mould their characters. Helen Hambelton was turned over to you. We know the great trust children have in their teachers. It is a trust next to their trust in their parents. Instead of leading that child editor, publisher, business manager, or owner of every newspaper, magazine, periodical, or other publication to file with the Postmaster General and the postmaster at the office at which said publication is entered, not later than the first day of April and the first day of October of each year, on blanks furnished by the Post Office Department, a sworn statement setting forth the names and post-office addresses of the editor and managing editor, publisher, business managers, and owners, and, in addition, the stockholders, if the publication be owned by a corporation; and also the names of known bondholders, mortgagees, or other security holders; and also, in the case of daily newspapers, there shall be included in such statement the average of the number of copies of each issue of such publication sold or distributed to paid subscribers during the preceding six months: Provided That the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to religious, fraternal temperance, and scientific, or other similar publications: Provided further That it shall not be necessary to include in such statement the names of persons owning less than one per centum of the total amount of stock, bonds, mortgages, or other securities. A copy of such sworn statement shall be published in the second issue of such newspaper, magazine, or other publication printed next after the filing of such statement. Any such publication shall be denied the privileges of the mail If it shall fail to comply with the provisions of this paragraph within ten days after notice by registered letter of such failure. (Act of August 24, 1912.) 2. All editorial or other reading matter published in any such newspaper, magazine, or periodical for the publication of which money or other valuable consideration is paid, accepted, or promised shall be plainly marked "advertisement." Any editor or publisher printing editorial or other reading matter for which compensation is paid, accepted, or promised without so marking the same, shall upon conviction in any court having jurisdiction be fined not less than fifty dollars ($50) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500). (Act of August 24, 1912.) 3. The statement required by this section shall be made in duplicate, on Form 3526, and both copies delivered to the postmaster at the office of entry of the publication. The postmaster will forward one copy to the Third Assistant Postmaster General (Division of Classification), and retain the other in the files of the post office. To enable publishers to file such statement promptly, postmasters will furnish them copies of Form 3526 at least ten days prior to the first days of April and October of each year. 4. Postmasters will obtain for the files of their offices two copies of the issue of each publication at their respective offices, in which the required sworn statement is published. 5. Postmasters must give prompt and careful attention to the making and filing by publishers of the statements required by this section, and promptly report to the Third Assistant Postmaster General the failure of any publisher to file such statement, or to publish it in the second issue of the publication printed next after it has been filed, but in no case shall a publication be denied the privileges of the mail except upon Departmental instructions. GREEK GOES HOME TO FIGHT Laundry Employe Returns Home to Take Up Arms Against the Turks Tom Samos, a Greek employed for several weeks past at the steam laundry, left on Saturday morning last for Los Angeles, where he joined a party of 400 Greeks leaving for Greece to take up arms in the impending war between that country and Turkey. Samos was about town Friday evening bidding friends good-bye. He was well acquainted with the progress of affairs in the Balkans, and when information was ventured that Montenegrins had defeated the Turks the preceding day, quickly replied that they er, who makes her living over the washtub. Think of the great State of California, and what it demands of its courts. “You have taught for sixteen years. (MacDonald had stated he was 38 years old and had taught sixteen years.) To you have been given tender children to mould their characters. Helen Hambelton was turned over to you. We know the great trust children have in their teachers. It is a trust next to their trust in their parents. Instead of leading that child aright, you led her down to perdition.” “According to the mortality table,” said Judge West, “you have twenty-nine years yet to live. For your crime, you ought to divide that time with the state. According to the table, poor little Helen has forty-six years to live. Do you think that in all those years the sun will ever go down on a day in which she has not felt the heartaches that comes from your wrong? Had you taken this upon the highway and by force accomplished that which you did, that only could have been worse. It is only a little time since another of your profession was sent to prison from this county for an identical offense.” Judge West then sentenced MacDonald to twenty-five years, the same sentence given Peabody, the Magnolia school principal referred to. “With credit of nine years and ten months, you can get out in fifteen years and two months,” said the judge. “At the end of eight years and 5½ months you can apply for parole.” Attorney Bishop’s motion for a new trial was denied before sentence. After sentence, Bishop gave notice of appeal to the appellate court. Tom Samos, a Greek employed for several weeks past at the steam laundry, left on Saturday morning last for Los Angeles, where he joined a party of 400 Greeks leaving for Greece to take up arms in the impending war between that country and Turkey. Samos was about town Friday evening bidding friends good-bye. He was well acquainted with the progress of affairs in the Balkans, and when information was ventured that Montenegro had defeated the Turks the preceding day, quickly replied that they had again defeated them on that day. Samos left Los Angeles on Saturday evening with his party bound for New York. They sailed thence for Athens, arriving at that port in 12 days. He expressed confidence that the sick man of Europe is up for a trimming, having been greatly weakened in his war with Italy. “There are three million Greeks at home ready to take up arms against their ancient enemy,” he said. “In Turkey there are nine million Greeks, most of them in and about Constantinople and many of them ready to rise at their country’s call. I am going back to my country to fight for Greece. There are many thousands of Greeks in the United States and many of them are even now on their way home. If I come back I hope to see you all again.” Samos is of opinion the present war between Montenegro and Turkey will involve many of the European countries. He says Greece is ready to declare war, and he expresses eagerness for the conflict. The cost of transportation from Los Angeles to Athens is $150. The expense of the entire party is borne by a wealthy Greek resident of Los Angeles. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ANAHEIM 11 States Depository for the Postal Savings System 20,000.
