UNION BREWING CO. SELLS AT WHOLESALE SO DECIDE CITY TRUSTEES AT LAST MEETING—MUST PAY BACK FEES TO CITY ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT LAST SESSION OF COUNCIL —NEW PARK SITE That the Union Brewing Co. is doing a wholesale liquor dealers' business and must therefore pay a wholesaler's license fee of $50 a month in addition to the brewers' license of $15, was the decision arrived at by the city trustees at their Thursday night's meeting, and the city clerk was instructed to collect back license fees of $50 a month from the company dating from the passing of the last ordinance fixing the rate of license to be paid by liquor dealers. The question was brought up by the reading of a second application for a wholesale liquor dealer's license by Herman Bennerscheidt, who stated in his communication that his place of business was to be on the Koenig property on the eastern side of Los Angeles between Broadway and Santa Ana streets. The reading of this letter precipitated the discussion as to whether the Union Brewing Company was doing a wholesale business or not and whether it came under the provisions of the ordinance passed some months ago fixing the amount of fee for a wholesale license at $50. As it was the intention of the board when this ordinance was passed to include the brewing company as one of the whole-held heirs and its inhabitants, and providing for selling, leasing and distributing such excess," was also passed. Ordinance No. 255 entitled "An ordinance ordering the work done of closing up Third South street in the City of Anaheim between the westerly line of Helena street and the easterly line of Palm street," was brought up for the first reading and will be introduced for final passage at the next meeting. A communication from J. D. Lavin containing an offer of 10 acres at the corner of South and Los Angeles streets and running east to Olive street or a park site was read and upon motion was referred to the board of trade committee last week appointed to receive park site offers. The tract is offered the city for $12,500. An application for the opening of streets in the Geerdes subdivision was after some discussion referred to the city engineer for further changes. The city clerk was authorized to draw up a warrant for payment of taxes on the sewer farm. The superintendent of streets was authorized to secure sufficient labor and wagons to thoroughly clean up the old and new power house grounds and put them in first-class condition. The power house will be connected with the sewer at an early date for disposal of waste water. The matter of paving was brought up for informal discussion but the board of trade committee are still busy signing up for paving and no action was taken. Building permits were granted as follows: To W. P. Quarton, an addition to frame building on Claudina street, cost $700. Bender and Silbernagel, for Samuel Kraemer, a rear addition to brick building on South Los Angeles street, cost $900. Clara Fischer, two corrugated iron sheds on rear of West Chartres street, cost $70. L. K. Marshall, for N. Hart, an addition to brick building on East Center erty on the eastern side of Los Angeles between Broadway and Santa Ana streets. The reading of this letter precipitated the discussion as to whether the Union Brewing Company was doing a wholesale business or not and whether it came under the provisions of the ordinance passed some months ago fixing the amount of fee for a wholesale license at $50. As it was the intention of the board when this ordinance was passed to include the brewing company as one of the wholesale liquor dealers, and as the brewing company is said to be doing a wholesale dealer’s business, the clerk was instructed to collect from the company $50 per month from the date when the ordinance referred to took effect. The number of wholesale licenses is considered to be limited to six, and as that number is already issued, the application of Mr. Bennerscheidt was not granted, and was placed on file. Upon motion the city attorney was instructed to draw up an ordinance repealing section 16 of ordinance 170, fixing a fee for brewers of $15 per month. This will hereafter leave only the $50 fee to be paid by the brewing company instead of the two fees of $50 and $15. Specifications for approximately 5125 feet of water pipe for use on North and South Los Angeles street were read and adopted and the clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for laying the pipe as per specifications. City Attorney Ames reported that he had communicated with the Southern Pacific company in regard to filling-in on each side of the track and between the rails on that company’s property on South Olive street as required by its franchise and the railroad officials had promised to complete the work at the earliest possible moment. The deed drawn up by a Catholic bishop some time ago in regard to the closing of Third street south running through church property, was read and approved by the board. A communication from the Anaheim Moral Protective League protesting against the recurrence of such nuisances as the recent carnival was read and as no immediate action was required, was placed on file. A letter from the county clerk in regard to a register of voters for the Anaheim precincts was read and referred to the city attorney for further investigation. A number of residents on the outskirts of the city appeared and desired information in regard to the getting of light, power and water from the municipal plant to points outside of the city limits. As the ordinance making it possible for the city to dispose of light in this way will not take effect for 30 days, the desired in- Building permits were granted as follows: To W. P. Quarton, an addition to frame building on Claudina street, cost $700. Bender and Silbernagel, for Samuel Kraemer, a rear addition to brick building on South Los Angeles street, cost $900. Clara Fischer, two corrugated iron sheds on rear of West Chartres street, cost $70. L. K. Marshall, for N. Hart, an addition to brick building on East Center street, cost $100. Simon Lybarger, an addition to frame building on West Broadway, cost $60. E. E. Heinze for A. Gutzmann, a barn and frame building on Emily street, cost $1000. Phil Steafather, for Adeline Tubach, a frame building on East Chartres street, cost $15.00. A. E. Strehle, for Richard Melrose, a frame building on Hedwig street, cost $5000. H. G. Melcher, for F. J. Barnes, a frame building on Ohio street, cost $1500. J. E. Stroup, a frame building on Sabina street, cost $700. D. L. McCharles, for Mrs. M. A.

The next meeting of the board will be on the night of Friday, November 29, the regular meeting night falling on Thanksgiving day.

A number of residents on the outskirts of the city appeared and desired information in regard to the getting of light, power and water from the municipal plant to points outside of the city limits. As the ordinance making it possible for the city to dispose of light in this way will not take effect for 30 days, the desired information was not forthcoming. Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger reported that a property owner on South Los Angeles had asked permission to cut down two large acacia trees which were ruining his curbing. As it is desired to keep as many trees in the city as possible and the two referred to are such fine specimens, it was suggested that the roots of the trees interfering with the curb be cut, if possible, and the trees left standing and this will be done. The superintendent of streets was instructed to remove the piles of earth at the west end of Center street and douse the light which has been kept burning on it at night for the past several months. Ordinance No. 253 entitled "An ordinance prohibiting the selling, vending and distributing of fruits or vegetables on certain streets in the City of Anaheim," was brought up for final reading and was adopted. Ordinance No. 254 entitled "An ordinance determining that a certain public utility of the City of Anaheim has developed an excess of water, light, heat and power over and above the amount thereof which is necessary for the use of the City of Ana- HOME DEBATERS BRING BACK DAVIS CUP LAWRENCE WALLER AND GEORGE HEDSTROM COMPOSE THE WINNING TEAM OUTCLASS OPPONENTS FROM THE START—LARGE NUMBER OF ANAHEIMERS PRESENT The Anaheim High School debating team composed of Lawrence Waller and George Hedstrom won the first debate of the season in the county league from Santa Ana in the Santa Ana High School building Friday night. The question was: "Shall the United States so far accede to the demands of Great Britain as to submit the question of free tolls for American coastwise vessels passing through the Panama Canal to The Hague Tribunal." This was the first of the county league extemporaneous debates for the Davis cup and sides were chosen by lot 24 hours before the debate was held. The affirmative fell to Anaheim and the negative to Santa Ana. Scoring was not by points, the three judges merely writing which team, in their judgment, was the winner. The score as given out was Anaheim 2, Santa Ana 1. As a result of this debate, the S. M. Davis silver cup, which was presented to the county league three years ago, and which is claimed by the winners among the county high schools successively, was triumphantly brought home to Anaheim where it was first contested for three years ago. It stood upon a table in the hall during the progress of the debate and the Santa Ana canon. HUNG JURY IN LIQUOR CASE Brea Restaurant Man Will Be Tried Again on Charge of Selling Beer That L. Peterson, a restaurant man of Brea, thought he was selling a so-called temperance brew, was the defense put up by Peterson, on trial in Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana on a charge of selling liquor in violation of the county prohibition ordinance. The jury stood 11 for conviction and 1 for acquittal. Many of the bottles taken in the raid bore labels of a Los Angeles brewing company on which the words "Temperance Brew" and "less than 2 per cent alcohol" appeared. Some of the bottles bore no labels, which was explained with a statement that those bottles had been in a tub of ice water and the labels came off. While the labels preserved bore a "less than 2 per cent alcohol" printed statement, the chemical analysis made by Dr. J. M. Burlew showed that the liquor contained 6 per cent alcohol. There were four barrels in the court room, two of them full of empty bottles and two full of bottled liquid. Attorney J. Howard Bell, who was attorney for Peterson, made his fight upon the ground that the brew was less than 2 per cent and that Peterson did not knowingly violate the law. Several sales of the bottled stuff were proven, among them being sales to Deputy Sheriffs Squires, Boynton and Law and Constable Heard, and to Deputy District Attorney Koepsel. The jurors trying the case were: O. M. Childs, Fred Hausaur, W. D. Baker, E. E. Lowry, J. W. Flagg, John Cochran, William McGreavey, N. Travis, P. G. Given, Guy Cunningham, E. Criddle and A. E. Chapman. Peterson will be tried again. BREA OIL DERRICK BURNS A fire was discovered in the engraving room of Derrick No. 4 of the Fullerton Oil Company, in the oil fields at Berry some days ago. Flames spread rapidly and a request for assistance was sent to the Fullerton fire department. Fire boys were called out by the alarm and everything was made reefer for a hasty trip to the scene of the flagration. It was found that the burning derrick was doomed, and the lerton boys were not required to move the trip. The fire continued its work of struction until about 9:30 in the evening, at which hour the entire structure had been entirely consumed. OF HER OWN ACCORD Five-year-old Alberta had more once been sent to a closet to "the over" some misdemeanor. One while her mother was away from her child, running through the dirt room just as the maid was laying clean cloth for dinner, mischievous jerked one corner of the linen. Tablecloth caught on the wee glove bracelet and was unexpectedly dragged to the floor. Stopping and dissembling her bracelet, the little maid with great dignity: "Don't bother tell mamma, Katie, I'll go to the right now." J. W. UTTER, M.

Davis silver cup, which was presented to the county league three years ago, and which is claimed by the winners among the county high schools successively, was triumphantly brought home to Anaheim where it was first contested for three years ago. It stood upon a table in the hall during the progress of the debate and the Santa Ana contingent made such remarks as "What do you think of our cup?" but the Anaheim rooters had a chance to retaliate when the decision was given. A large number of local people were in attendance, going over in autos, buggies and the high school and auto bus, and the Anaheim songs and yells were a feature of the evening. Singing was led by the Misses Gladys Gervais and Lila Abbott, and the boys' yells were in charge of Messrs. Clarence Beebe and Walter Spaeth. Waller was the first speaker for Anaheim and led off in masterful style, argument, delivery and diction being perfect. He was followed by Miss Sophie Hardy, of Santa Ana, who held up her end of the debate well and indications were good for a closely fought contest. Hedstrom next took up the cause for Anaheim and with well chosen words, continued the argument where Waller had left off. Selwyn Sharp was the next speaker for Santa Ana and while doing well, was clearly outclassed by the Anaheim speakers. Waller had 7½ minutes for a rebuttal and presented conclusive and final arguments why the United States should submit the question to The Hague court, saying that as we were right in the matter, we should have no fear of presenting the matter before an impartial court such as The Hague. A number of yells and songs were given by the two schools and a song by the Santa Ana girls' glee club while the judges' reports were being secured. Pandemonium reigned among the Anaheim people when the decision was given out and a number of them with the two debaters in front carrying the prized cup, formed a column and marched about the hall. The Anaheim "Knights of the Silver Tongue," as a Santa Ana paper pleased to call the two local debaters, and which seems to fit them exactly, have worked long and faithfully under the direction of Miss Veda Walker, and fully deserved the measure of success received. Both young men did themselves proud and are justly classed among the best debaters of the Anaheim school. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel. The jurors trying the case were: O. M. Childs, Fred Hausaur, W. D. Baker, E. E. Lowry, J. W. Flagg, John Cochran, William McGreavey, N. Travis, P. G. Given, Guy Cunningham, E. Criddle and A. E. Chapman. Peterson will be tried again. MRS. MEASOR GOES TO JAIL Delki Woman Must Serve Sentence For Selling Liquor Without a showing being made for her in the appellate court, Mrs. Kate Measor lost the appeals taken by her from the judgment of the superior court in sentencing her in one case to seven months in jail and a fine of $100 and in the other six months in jail and a fine of $25. Mrs. Measor must serve the terms in jail and pay the fines. If she had any chance on appeal, it was not given an opportunity to be developed, for her attorneys, H. W. Nesbit of Los Angeles and Dick Foye Harding of Santa Ana, did not show up. That the woman would have to meet the judgment of the court was shown some days ago when District Attorney West received the following from the office of the clerk of the appellate court of Los Angeles: "Judgment and order affirmed. No briefs filed on part of appellate, and no oral argument. Court refuses to enter into consideration of merits of appeal by reason thereof." Mrs. Measor was tried on two charges of selling liquor in no-license territory. The offenses were alleged to have been committed at the woman's home at Delhi, which lies in the fifth supervisorial district, which district voted itself no-license territory under the Wyllie local option law. The sale of liquor in no-license territory under the Wyllie law, becomes a high misdemeanor and the case must be tried in the superior court. Mrs. Measor was found guilty of selling liquor to Deputy Sheriffs Law and Ramsey. Sentences were passed on July 12. Pending the hearing in the upper court, Mrs. Measor has been out on bail. Since the appeal was taken she met arrest on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Several officers went to the woman's house to see if they could buy liquor. Mrs. Measor turned loose at one of them, Henry Gastelum, with a revolver. She says she merely shot at the ground. This case has not come to trial in the superior court. About two years ago Mrs. Measor CROSS? I was earnestly sewing one day and in my earnestness frowned. Little Agnes came up to me and asked, "Is oo cross?" To which I replied, "No." A few minutes later she asked the same question and when I again said, "No," she said, "Well, oo is cross on oo's forehead." NOTICE! A.
