HIGHWAY BONDS CARRY BY 3 TO 1 VOTE HALF VOTE OF COUNTY POLLED AT MONDAY'S ELECTION—GOES IN FAVOR OF GOOD ROADS ORANGE COUNTY SOON TO HAVE MAGNIFICENT SYSTEM OF THOROUGHFARES With half the vote of Orange county polled at Monday's road bond election, citizens voted overwhelmingly in favor of an issue of $1,270,000 for lateral roads. In the report of the highway commission upon which call for the bond election was made, there was no reference to the main highway through Orange county, as this road will be constructed by the state highway commission at a cost probably of $600,000. Bonds voted on Monday are for construction of 107 miles of laterals extending in many directions throughout the county. The northern portion of the county will have an excellent system of highways leading from this city. CONCORDIA ENTERTAINS Monthly Gathering Held Thursday Evening in Turner Hall The monthly family gathering of the Anaheim Concordia Singing Society was held Thursday evening in Turner Hall. Two numbers sung by the entire Concordia opened the evening's entertainment. After these had been rendered, a comedy sketch entitled "Der Grobe Wirt" was given and acted by local talent. The cast consisted of Mrs. Ella Roberts, Mrs. Kristine Rheinhardt, Theodore Roberts, Albert Knirsch, Emil Otto, Rudolph Schippman, Ignar Boeckerler, Bert Rysman, R. Krastel and Joe Lautenbach. Each member of the company carried out his part in a surprising manner for amateur talent, and all present were delighted with the production. Much credit for the success of the affair is due Prof. Fred Rheinhardt, under whose direction rehearsals were held. Mrs. Rheinhardt also deserves credit for the manner in which she directed the making up of the players. Upon completion of the production, the floor was cleared and a social dance enjoyed until a late hour, music being furnished by Mr. Kroeger's orchestra from Santa Ana. Upwards of 300 persons were present for the affair and all report an enjoyable evening. of an issue of $1,270,000 for lateral roads. In the report of the highway commission upon which call for the bond election was made, there was no reference to the main highway through Orange county, as this road will be constructed by the state highway commission at a cost probably of $600,000. Bonds voted on Monday are for construction of 107 miles of laterals extending in many directions throughout the county. The northern portion of the county will have an excellent system of highways leading from this city north and west to the Los Angeles county line, northeast to Placentia and the oil fields, and east to Olive and up River Canyon to the Riverside county line. Returns began coming in early Monday evening, the short ballot and light vote polled, making it possible to bring in reports within a few hours. In this city the vote stood 392 for to 212 against. A strong fight was making during the entire day against the bonds, and voters had their attention called to the fact that taxes were already high. Later in the evening more favorable returns came in. Los Alamitos voted 68 for and 1 against, being one of the banner precincts in the county. Olinda sent in a report of 137 for and 2 against. Fullerton voted 367 for and 162 against. Orange went against the bonds but Santa Ana polled a large majority in their favor. Huntington Beach voted 193 for and 54 against. Out of a total registration in Orange county of 17,439, the total vote aggregated 7,537. Of these 5,299 favored the bonds and 2,238 were opposed to them, giving the bonds a majority of 275 above the necessary two-thirds. The complete vote by precincts is as follows: Precinct— Yes.

Thirty-five members were present and an enthusiastic meeting was held. The building committee reported that Contractor Lagman was working on plans and specifications and that actual construction would begin as soon as bids were received and accepted. Discussion was had relative to a young men's cabinet and other matters of interest to the association, among them being a swimming tank which will be built as soon as enough money for that purpose is available. We this week received a letter from Harry Armstrong asking us to change the address of his paper to 2995 Third avenue, West Vancouver, B.C., and we have complied with this request. He adds that he is a "Canuck" for good. For this we are sorry, for we had entertained the hope that he might some day return to this city and make his home here. Anyway, we wish him the best of success wherever he may cast his lot. W. C. T. U. DELEGATE RETURNS Mrs. D. Gervais to Give Report of National Convention This Evening Mrs. D. Gervais returned last week from Portland, Ore., where she went as the Orange county delegate to the National W. C. T. U. convention, held in that city from October 19 to 25. She was gone two weeks and reports a very interesting and enjoyable trip. She says the convention was the best she ever attended, delegates being present from every state in the Union and one from New Zealand. Excellent speakers addressed the assemblage, numbering in the neighborhood of 500 persons and much inspiration was received under whose direction rehearsals were held. Mrs. Rheinhardt also deserves credit for the manner in which she directed the making up of the players.

Gazette—Anaheim's want ad medium ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1912 H.S. BASKET BALL TEAM WINS ANOTHER DEFEATS LOS NIETOS VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL AGGREGATION WITH 31-11 SCORE TIES FULLERTON TEAM IN PRAC TICE GAME 25-25—TEAM WORK BEST EVER The outlook for the basketball team of the Anaheim High School is exceedingly bright, judging from games already played and the material at hand from which a winning team may be formed. The basketball season opened week before last when the Anaheim team defeated the Los Nietos Valley High School team at Downey by a score of 19-17. A return game was scheduled with the same high school and was played on the local court on Wednesday of last week. This time the score stood 31 to 11. This was to have been played on Tuesday but at the last moment the Downey automobile got out of commission and the team did not meeting Monday afternoon, organized and elected Miss Fern Fergus captain of the team. The girls' team has not played any games to date and practice has been light. The first county league game will be with Santa Ana November 16 and will be played in this city. The season's schedule for the Anaheim team follows: November 16, Santa Ana at Anaheim; November 23, Orange at Orange. December 7, Huntington Beach at Anaheim. January 11, Fullerton at Anaheim; January 18, Santa Ana at Santa Ana; January 25, Orange at Anaheim. February 1, Huntington Beach at Huntington Beach; February 15, Fullerton at Fullerton. Walter Spaeth and Hans Storm were last week selected to represent Anaheim in the first Southern California league debate to be held with Hollywood at that place on or before November 27. Both young men are experienced debaters and they will doubtless put up a winning fight. The question to be debated upon is: Resolved, That United States shipping should be exempt from tolls passing through the Panama Canal. The Anaheim team upholds the affirmative. A large delegation will probably attend from here. In the preliminary tryouts, four contestants were entered, Walter Spaeth, Hans Storm, Willie Webb and Howard Krause. That the two latter gentlemen close and exciting contest for Supervisor in the Third District ORANGE COUNTY GOES PROGRESSIVE — ANDERSON AND WEISEL WIN The vote for supervisor in the third district on Tuesday resulted in the election of William Schumacher, Republican candidate, over John Brunworth by a plurality of 2 votes. Orange county was carried by the Progressives by a majority of over 600. John N. Anderson was elected state senator from the 39th district and Hans V. Weisel, of this city, assemblyman from the 76th district. Wilson sweeps the country. Detailed reports for supervisor for this district are as follows: FOR SUPERVISOR THIRD DISTRICT Precinct Total Vote Schumacher Brunworth Anaheim No. 1...310 67 203 Anaheim No. 2...214 58 145 Anaheim No. 3...266 78 137 from which a winning team may be formed. The basketball season opened week before last when the Anaheim team defeated the Los Nietos Valley High School team at Downey by a score of 19-17. A return game was scheduled with the same high school and was played on the local court on Wednesday of last week. This time the score stood 31 to 11. This was to have been played on Tuesday but at the last moment the Downey automobile got out of commission and the team did not make its appearance here. On Wednesday, however, the opposing teams met and engaged in the deciding battle for supremacy. The members of the Anaheim team showed remarkable improvement upon their previous work and walked away with the ball from start to finish. All members of the local team had improved materially and while each did well individually, as in the previous game, the victory was won largely by good team work. The Anaheim line-up was as follows: Beebe, Hemmerling, forwards; Elliott, center; Fergus (Capt.), Miller, A. Chamberlain, guards. A large and enthusiastic crowd of rooters was present to witness the game and did much to win the victory for the home team. In Anaheim's third game played with Fullerton in this city Friday afternoon, the final score stood 25-25. This was meant as a practice game only and each school played its second team the first half. Although Anaheim's second team had good individual players, their team work was not of the best and at the end of the first half the score was 15-10 in favor of Fullerton. In the second half the first teams were pitted against each other and the Anaheim boys managed to reverse the score, making the score for the half 15-10 in Anaheim's favor. The tie of 25-25 was not played off. The Anaheim boys, while playing good ball, had not recovered from the Downey game on Wednesday and did not do so well as they had in that game. Anaheim—First team, field goals, Beebe 2, Hemmerling 2, Elliott 1, Miller 1. Foul goals, Beebe 1, Hemmerling 2. Second team, field goals, Coombs 1, A. Chamberlain 1. Foul goals, Kelly 6. Scorer, Harold Douglas. Members of the Senior class enjoyed a delightful Hallowe'en masquerade party at the home of Miss Gladys Gunnett, east of town, Thursday evening. The guests, numbering 30, met at the High School building and were taken to the scene of the festivities in auto- November 27. Both young men are experienced debaters and they will doubtless put up a winning fight. The question to be debated upon is: Resolved, That United States shipping should be exempt from tolls passing through the Panama Canal. The Anaheim team upholds the affirmative. A large delegation will probably attend from here. In the preliminary tryouts, four contestants were entered, Walter Spaeth, Hans Storm, Willie Webb and Howard Krause. That the two latter gentlemen did well is shown from the score, which gives the difference between the highest and the lowest number of points received as 5. All participating made a fine showing and the outlook is good for Anaheim to win the Southern California championship in debating. Total registration for the year is given as 180. Fullerton has 193. MRS. HETEBRINK PASSES AWAY Old Resident Of This Section Dies After Brief Illness Mrs. Rebekah B. Hetebrink, aged 69 years, 7 months and 9 days, died Thursday evening at her home in Placentia, after r. 10-day's illness. Mrs. Hetebrink had long been a resident of this section, having lived here 38 years, and had many friends who knew and loved her. Funeral services were held in this city Monday and a large number were present to pay their last respects to the memory of a woman whom all respected. Deceased leaves three children, a brother and three sisters. BOY GETS PAINFUL INJURIES Leslie Abbott Breaks Both Wrists in Fall From Roof Leslie Abbott, the 14-year-old son of Jack Abbott, suffered painful injuries Sunday afternoon by falling from the roof of a house. A new house is being constructed in the neighborhood, and young Abbott, with a number of playmates, was playing in, about and upon the structure. Leslie was on the roof and was in the act of jumping to the ground when the board upon which he was standing broke. He fell to the earth and the shock of the fall was received by both wrists. These two members were bent backward and broken, making very painful wounds. The boy's head was somewhat bruised also. The lad was brought to town and his wounds dressed, whereupon he was taken home. The doctor in charge of the case states that all that saved the boy's neck was his wrists, and, as wrists are easier to mend than necks, he escaped rather luckily. He will be laid up for some time.

The guests, numbering 30, met at the High School building and were taken to the scene of the festivities in automobiles. All were dressed in costumes odd and fantastic and much merriment was caused by efforts to discover each other's identity. The evening was spent with Hallowe'en games, such as table football, dry jag, ducking for apples, etc. At a late hour such refreshments as punch, olives, candy, apples and pumpkin pie were served, and the evening's enjoyment closed with an auto ride back to town, all voting the occasion a most enjoyable one. Not to be outdone by the Seniors, the Junior class members made plans for an enjoyable time and carried them out at the Masonic Hall Friday evening. The crowd numbered 25 and was chaperoned by Prof. Claude R. Prince. The hall was darkened and light furnished by jack-o-lanterns and Japanese lanterns strung across the hall. The Junior girls attended, dressed in sheets and pillow cases and one of the evening's games was the guessing of the identity of the white robed figures by the boy of the class. Earl Crist won in this contest and received a prize which he will doubtless long cherish. Hallowe'en refreshments were served and closed an evening of unalloyed enjoyment.

YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED Albert Nelson and Miss Gertrude Mauerhan Married at Santa Ana Albert O. Nelson and Miss Gertrude Mauerhan, both of this city, were married in Santa Ana Saturday by a justice of the peace. They went to the county seat Saturday morning, secured the license and were immediately married. They took the electric car for Los Angeles and spent a few days at nearby beach points, returning to this city Monday evening. They will temporarily make their home at the residence of the bride's parents southeast of town. Both young people are well known here and have a large number of friends who join in extending felicitations upon their marriage. Mr. Nelson is a young man of promise and for several months past has held a responsible position with the Gibbs Lumber Company in this city. Miss Mauerhan is a daughter of J. C. Mauerhan and her sweet and lovable disposition has made her a host of friends among both young and old. J. W. Walls came up from Newport Beach early Tuesday morning to see how the election was going.

CATTERLIN RANKEST FRAUD EVER ATTEMPTED IN LOCAL COURTS MEETS WITH EXPOSURE Held at Santa Ana on a charge of getting property under false pretenses, F. J. Catterlin, an alleged fake stock company promoter, has been arrested in Los Angeles and must face trial in Orange county. The charge against Catterlin is sworn to by Charles H. Newcombe, a resident of this city. On Thursday of this week Catterlin's fraudulent methods were exposed in a civil suit tried in Los Angeles before Judge Dooling. Like thousands of other victims that had fallen to the clever arguments of this smooth manipulator, Mr. Newcombe had exchanged the Cohn block, Thirty-third and Central avenue, Los Angeles worth $48.000. As soon as it RAIN INTERFERES WITH OPEN AIR SPEAKING WILLIAM E. SMYTHE'S ADDRESS CUT SHORT BY UNTIMELY DOWN-POUR PAYS TRIBUTE TO PIONEERS OF MOTHER COLONY — REGRETS INABILITY TO PROCEED Rain prevented the address of Wm. E. Smythe of San Diego in this city Saturday afternoon. As the distinguished orator arose to address the large audience gathered to hear him, showers descended, and he said he was averse to keeping people standing in the rain. He expressed regret at his inability to proceed, saying he wished to address the people of the Mother Colony for whom he had always entertained high regard. "It was here the pioneers blazoned the way for the present wonderful development of Southern California," he said. "The pioneers were a sturdy lot, and what they did here to make the desert blossom as the rose was simply an indication to others who came afterwards of what could be accomplished in tilling the soil. These rain drops will be like ballots falling for Woodrow Wilson next Tuesday. I believe he will be elected president by the largest popular majority ever received by a candidate. I believe he will be a second Abraham Lincoln. I am sorry I cannot speak to you further." Mr. Smythe was warmly received by a large crowd of voters who gathered to hear him, and expressed regret at the untimely showers. Albert Johnson, nephew of the governor preceded Smythe in a half-hour. The charge against Catterlin is sworn to by Charles H. Newcombe, a resident of this city. On Thursday of this week Catterlin's fraudulent methods were exposed in a civil suit tried in Los Angeles before Judge Dooling. Like thousands of other victims that had fallen to the clever arguments of this smooth manipulator, Mr. Newcombe had exchanged the Cohn block, Thirty-third and Central avenue, Los Angeles, worth $48,000. As soon as it had become apparent that this scheme had been fraudulent from start to finish, Mr. Newcombe immediately employed F. C. Spencer, a leading attorney, to bring action to rescind the transaction, and later Mr. Spencer associated with him Earl Curtis Peck of Los Angeles to aid him in weaving the masterly legal mesh around this clever crook. For this purpose Mr. Peck made a trip to Portland and Seattle and the evidence he accumulated there was appalling. A fitting climax came when E. J. Frazer, secretary of the Board of Trade of Eugene, Ore., produced a letter written to him by Catterlin from Portland, Ore., in which Catterlin stated that the company's bonds could be bought for 1½ cents on the dollar. Catterlin had represented Newcombe that the bonds were worth $1 per share. Judge Dooling in finding judgment for Newcombe, declared that if the transaction had occurred in Los Angeles county he would feel it his duty to bring the matter before the grand jury. Action by a grand jury was not necessary. When Newcombe laid the facts before District Attorney L. A. West of Orange county, the warrant was authorized and the Los Angeles police arrested Catterlin in Los Angeles and held him for Undersheriff Squires of Santa Ana. The complaint recites the alleged misrepresentations by Catterlin to secure the trade, which was consummated at Anaheim. In the specific deal mentioned in the complaint, Catterlin secured lot 13, Wilson tract, in exchange for stock in the Columbia River Orchard Company. Catterlin is alleged to have represented Newcombe that the company owned 4,000 acres of irrigated land, 2,500 acres of timber land and $550,000 additional securities on other lands; that the total stock issue was $425,000. Newcombe declares that this statement is false, and that the trade was secured through fraud on Catterlin's part; the company owned no land, nor held no securities and that the bond issue had been $3,000,000. It is expected that one of the principals involved by the Progressives over 600. John N. Ansted state senator from Hart and Hans V.

These rain drops will be like ballots falling for Woodrow Wilson next Tuesday. I believe he will be elected president by the largest popular majority ever received by a candidate. I believe he will be a second Abraham Lincoln. I am sorry I cannot speak to you further." Mr. Smythe was warmly received by a large crowd of voters who gathered to hear him, and expressed regret at the untimely showers. Albert Johnson, nephew of the governor, preceded Smythe in a half-hour's address. He spoke well, contrasting the record of Wilson and Roosevelt disadvantageously to the latter. He said the Progressives had stolen the Republican designation for their electors upon the official ballot, that Republicans could not vote for Taft in California, and that they should rise in their might and smash the party which had disfranchised them. Crowthers' band discoursed music preceding the speaking and following the meeting. Smythe was given to Orange where he spoke later in the afternoon. In the evening he and Johnson addressed a large meeting at Santa Ana. The younger members of the Concordia Singing society tendered Theodore Roberts a delightful surprise party Sunday at noon. Several relatives of that estimable gentleman were present from Los Angeles and he thought nothing of the extra preparation going on in the kitchen until 1 o'clock when his friends entered in a body. Mr. Roberts was taken aback for a little, but soon revived and invited the guests into the dining room where a bounteous spread had been prepared. In the afternoon the party repaired to the Turner hall where a social dance was enjoyed for a time. Orchard Company. Catterlin is alleged to have represented to Newcombe that the company owned 4,000 acres of irrigated land, 2,500 acres of timber land and $550,000 additional in securities on other lands; that the total stock issue was $425,000. Newcombe declares that this statement is false, and that the trade was secured through fraud on Catterlin's part; the company owned no land, nor held no securities and that the bond issue had been $3,000,000. It is expected that one of the principal witnesses against Catterlin will be E. J. Frazer, a prominent and influential man of Eugene, Ore., to whom Catterlin is alleged to have boasted that "he had handed the bunch a package, that he did it in the face of the cashier of the First National Bank of Anaheim, the attorney, and the whole family." Be that as it may, but we are wondering how Mr. F. J. Catterlin likes the little package that has been handed back to him by the cashier of the First National Bank of Anaheim, the attorney and whole family, the County of Orange, et al? On the second page of this issue will be found a report of the trial in the Los Angeles superior court on Thursday, in which Newcombe secured judgment giving him possession of his land. The arrest of Catterlin on a felony charge followed exposure of his rank swindling methods. Justice Cox, of Santa Ana, has dismissed the charge of peace disturbance brought against Mrs. Maggie Hoffman, keeper of a restaurant at Brea. The charge was brought by Agnes Penley. Mrs. Hoffman and other witnesses testified that Miss Penley was intoxicated, and that the alleged disturbance was an ejectment from Mrs. Hoffman's place.
