VOLUME XXXXIII PLANS COMPLETE FOR PACIFIC TRACK-MEET BERKELEY TO BE SCENE OF STRUGGLE OF ATHLETES FROM ALL ALONG THE COAST MORE THAN 300 CONTESTANTS ENTERED—BEEBE AND ELLIOTT LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES Clarence Beebe and Raymond Eliott, representing the Anaheim high school, are entered in the meet and are expected to carry off a goodly share of the honors. Both athletes were among the winners in the county track meet held at Santa Ana three weeks ago, and with the expert coaching of Walter Hall, are improving in form and will be in the best possible condition when they go into the games at Berkeley next week. The Pacific Coast Interscholastic meet, held each year on the campus at Berkeley, under the direction of the Had California had such a field the football situation in the state would have been quite different. When the university adopted Rugby she was handicapped each year by having the preparatory men entering college unskilled in the game. The reason for the high schools not taking up the sport and still adhering to the old game was because the university could not stimulate Rubgy in a league controlled and regulated by the students. Large and ample provision for general sports should be made by the university authorities and that right soon; suitable and available land which even now is most costly will eventually be unobtainable. The Interscholastic meet will start with the swimming meet which will be held at the outdoor swimming pool, April 4th. This evening will be given over by the students to the entertainment of the visiting athletes. There will be besides the swimming events, bonfires and fireworks that will liven up the affairs. On April 4th the preliminary track events will be run off at the oval. On April 5th the main track meet will be held. On the evening of the 5th the annual circus will take place. This is held in conjunction with the athletic events to provide funds to make them possible as well as to afford a pleasant evening to the visitors. The Pacific Coast Interscholastic meet, held each year on the campus at Berkeley, under the direction of the Big “C” Society, from its modest beginning in 1910 as a relay carnival, has grown until now it is one of the largest preparatory school meets in the entire country. Last year more than 300 athletes were entered in the competition, teams coming from Washington, Oregon and Nevada as well as from California. The records made at the last meet were better, in the main, than those made at any other similar meet in the country last year, and the ability of the entrants is further attested by the fact that three of the competitors were chosen as members of the national interscholastic team by President Sullivan of the Amateur Athletic Union. This year over five hundred invitations have been sent to various schools not only in California but throughout Nevada, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. To realize the interest that is being shown by these schools, it is only necessary to note from what remote places answers are being received. Port Townsend high school on Puget Sound is contemplating sending a team; Salt Lake City writes inquiring whether they will be admitted; San Diego will send a team; Portland will undoubtedly send up an aggregation of athletes. Besides these schools mentioned, there are many others that will surely compete. Not only are these schools that send teams directly influenced by the University of California but every high school in the west is brought into communication with the committee in charge. The reasons for maintaining such affairs as the interscholastic are two: first, the student body wishes to serve the University of California by broadening its sphere of service; second, there has been a great need of having some disinterested organization such as the University to supervise and regulate the athletics of the high schools. Unfortunately, heretofore, American athletics have been poorly supervised in a great part by remittance men from abroad who interested themselves in the high school sports for what they could get out of it. For instance one man who for several years controlled will be besides the swimming events, bonfires and fireworks that will liven up the affairs. On April 4th the preliminary track events will be run off at the oval. On April 5th the main track meet will be held. On the evening of the 5th the annual circus will take place. This is held in conjunction with the athletic events to provide funds to make them possible as well as to afford a pleasant evening to the visitors. SCHOOL TRUSTEES ENTERTAINED Grammar School Cooking Class Serves Nine-Course Dinner to Honored Guests Members of the eighth grade cooking class at the Fremont school acted as hostesses at a 6 o'clock dinner given Tuesday evening in the dining room of the school to Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wallop, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Chambers, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Boege, Mr. and Mrs. J., L. Van Derveer, and Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Mitchell. Messrs. Boege and Chambers and Mrs. Wallop are school trustees of the Anaheim school district, Prof. Van Derveer is city superintendent of schools, and Mr. Mitchell is the county superintendent of schools. The color scheme for the dining room and table decorations was red and green, and the lights were decorated with shades of red and green paper. On the table were placed four bouquets of red carnations. The following menu was served by members of the cooking class: Oyster Cocktail Soup Egg Balls Bread Sticks Curled Celery Baked Fillets Dressed Tomatoes Shredded Potatoes Creamed Sweetbreads and Mushrooms Sirloin Roast Mashed Potatoes Beets Italian Sorbet Salamagundi Salad Cheese Straws Coup a l’ Ananas Spring Drops—Mints Crackers Cheese Cafe Noir After the dinner a musical program was rendered by the school orchestra under the direction of Miss Brown. A piano solo was rendered by Miss Lois Dyer, and vocal solos by Miss Audrey Phalen, "I'd Like to Live in Loveland With a Girl Like You," accompanied on the violin by Miss Erma Steadman... first, the student body wishes to serve the University of California by broadening its sphere of service; second, there has been a great need of having some disinterested organization such as the University to supervise and regulate the athletics of the high schools. Unfortunately, heretofore, American athletics have been poorly supervised in a great part by remittance men from abroad who interested themselves in the high school sports for what they could get out of it. For instance one man who for several years controlled one of the athletic leagues states that he gained over $1,000 by handling the meets. Such dealings cannot help but demoralize the sports and it reacts on the athletes and the schools in more ways than one. The university is interested primarily in developing clean, wholesome athletes in the youths that will eventually be students in the university. The interscholastic is not maintained as a money making affair; on the other hand benefits and private donations are being given so as to help defray the expenses of the contest. Year by year the Interscholastic is broadening its scope. This year there will be included a swimming contest as well as a cross-country event. Tennis would have been placed among the sports had finances not entered in as an important consideration. It is hoped that in years to come the university will have secured ample land for a vast playground, where not only could the student body secure recreation, but where great leagues of football, baseball and basketball could be held annually for the high schools. Cornell has such a ground; Purdue held a baseball contest on their field last year where fifteen teams played at the same time for the championship of the state. GERMAN EVANGELICAL CHURCH Services are held regularly in the old church building which has been moved to the rear of the lot. Sunday school at 9:45, preaching 10:45, Young People's Alliance 7 P.M., followed by preaching. Morning services are conducted in German. Evening services in English. You are cordially invited to the corner stone laying as well as to the regular church services. ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1913 LITTLE CHILD MEETS AWFUL DEATH THREE-YEAR-OLD SON OF MR. AND MRS. DEAN HASSON DROWNED IN A CISTERN LIFTS UP COVERING, LOSES BALANCE, AND FALLS INTO 14 FEET OF WATER Dean Willis Hassen, aged 3 years and 21 days, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Dean Hassen of this city, was drowned in a cistern containing 14 feet of water at the home of his grandfather, John Lemke, in Placentia, where Mrs. Hassen and child had gone to be guests of her parents, Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The little child was playing in the yard with several other children and approached the cistern. He lifted up the cover, when he lost his balance and fell into the water. The other children immediately gave the alarm and the all but lifeless body of the child was recovered shortly afterward by Frank Anderson. Calls were imme- GERMAN EVANGELICAL TO LAY CORNER STONE Impressive Ceremonies to Be Held Next Sunday for New House of Worship The corner stone laying of the new Evangelical Association's church at the corner of West Center and Helena streets will be held next Sunday, March 30, at 2:30 P.M. Rev. Aug. Huelster of Santa Ana will conduct the ceremonies. The church has been in course of erection for some weeks, the foundation being completed last week by Bert Neubauer, the contractor in charge of that work. The congregation of the church decided unanimously some weeks ago to build a new church and the pastor, Rev. A. H. Zahl, was authorized to solicit subscriptions for the building fund. Up to the present time about $6,500 has been subscribed. The edifice when completed will cost over $8,000 and will be one of the handsomest church buildings in the city. Frederick Eley, well known architect of Santa Ana, drew up the plans and specifications for the building. The following gentlemen figured on the general contract: H. G. Melcher, Bert Neubauer, W. W. Scott, Bender & Silbenagel, and U. S. Amack, and BOARD OF TRADE APPROVES FIRE PROTECTION TAKES STAND FOR PURCHASE OF APPARATUS AND EQUIPMENT BY CITY COUNCIL OTHER BUSINESS TRANSACTED AT MONDAY'S MEETING—SOUTH LEMON STREET PAVING Again demonstrating to the world that they are looking to the best interests of the community and putting themselves on record as favoring adequate and complete fire protection for the city, members of the board of trade at Monday night's meeting voted to approve the purchase by the city of fire apparatus and equipment necessary for providing adequate protection from fires in all parts of the city. The fire laddies at present are working under difficulties. When an alarm of fire is turned in, they must run to the city hall, get the hose carts, drag them to the scene of the fire, and if the conflagration is very far distant, the build- INED Serves oared le cook-col acted inner giving room s.

The other children immediately gave the alarm and the all but lifeless body of the child was recovered shortly afterward by Frank Anderson. Calls were immediately sent Dr. Hasson at Buena Park and Dr. Bryan of Fullerton. They responded at once, arriving at the Lemke home a short time thereafter. Efforts at resuscitation had been made by the mother and grandparents and these were continued by the physicians until 9 o'clock, when the spirit of the little sufferer took its flight. Dean Hasson was in town at the time of the frightful accident. He was called by telephone and went at once to the scene in an autobobile. The body of the child was brought to Backs & Terry's undertaking parors and the funeral was held at 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The casket was covered with flowers and many friends of the distracted parents were present to pay their last respects and extend their sympathy. Rev. Mr. Sloane, of Placentia, preached the burial sermon. The body was laid to rest in the Anaheim cemetery. The sympathies of entire community go out to the parents of the little child in their great bereavement. The child was a bright little lad and was a universal favorite among his many playmates. MRS. BLANCHE L. HILL DIES OF HEART FAILURE Passes Away Suddenly at Ranch Home West of City Saturday Morning Mrs. Blanche L. Hill, widow of the late W. J. Hill, died at her ranch home in West Anaheim on Saturday morning at 5:55 o'clock from heart disease. On the preceding Monday she underwent a surgical operation for throat trouble. An affection of the heart from which she had suffered for some time developed complications of serious disorders, and although everything was done to save her life, she passed away as stated. Mrs. Hill is survived by a family of 12 children, four of whom were children of Mr. Hill's first wife. Funeral services were held on Monday at noon. The body was brought to the Episcopal church in this city of Philadelphia. Zahl, was authorized to solicit subscriptions for the building fund. Up to the present time about $6,500 has been subscribed. The edifice when completed will cost over $8,000 and will be one of the handsomest church buildings in the city. Frederick Eley, well known architect of Santa Ana, drew up the plans and specifications for the building. The following gentlemen figured on the general contract: H. G. Melcher, Bert Neubauer, W. W. Scott, Bender & Silbenagel, and U. S. Amack, and are residents of Anaheim. Outsiders who figured were Geo. Kuchels, of Orange, G. G. Preble and D. Funk, of Santa Ana. The contract was let to the lowest bidder, W. W. Scott, who began the work Tuesday morning. The following carpenters are employed by Mr. Scott to work at the building: E. Hein, T. A. Workman, Frank Thomas, Philip Steafather and Bert Neubauer. According to contract the building must be completed within 50 working days. WILLIAM HILL, JR. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Rifle Ball Strikes Him in Upper Lip, Inflicting Slight Wound William Hill, 9-year-old son of Mrs. Blanche L. Hill, was accidentally shot in the upper lip while handling a small rifle at the ranch home on Thursday last. The lad was not dangerously injured. He removed the ball himself, and Dr. Beebe was called. Anti-toxin was administered to prevent development of lock-jaw. The lad is getting along well, and will probably shortly be out of danger of further complications. At the time of the accident the boy's mother was lying at the point of death. She passed away on Saturday morning. EPISCOPAL CHURCH Sunday, March 30, first Sunday after Easter day, the following services will be held in St. Michael's Episcopal church, corner Adele and Emily streets: Bible classes, 10 A.M.; morning prayer and sermon by the rector, Rev. David Todd Gillmor, at 11 o'clock, subject, "Christ, the Great Gardener." The full vested choir under the leadership of C. Adams Cornelli, organist and choirmistress, will render the beautiful music of the church. A cordial welcome awaits you. CHRISTIAN CHURCH CHRISTIAN CHURCH Interesting and profitable services to all last Lord's day. The Bible school attendance was good. Hope for it to be better next Lord's day. Morning service will be one of Biblical and Spiritual instruction. Christian Endeavor meets at 6:30 P.M. Preaching service at 7:30. The splendid audiences and the good hearing these evening sermons have been given is very gratifying to the speaker. Through the personal comments of helpfulness and interest given I have consented to continue the series of sermons on putting the Old and New Testaments together. The historical sketches, illustrative scenes and Biblical truths are entertaining and instructive to all who are availing themselves of the opportunity of hearing them. Come and be spiritually and scripturally instructed while you are being entertained. Strangers always welcome to this home-like church. Come worship with us. C. R. MOORE, Minister and Evangelist. Mr. and Mrs. N. Hart and Mrs. Kraatz spent several days the past week in San Diego and other points south. Mr. Hart contemplates a trip to Guaymas in the near future with a party of local capitalists who will look for investment in Lower California. Judge Shanley said that when the city recently opened South Lemon street, he paid $104.00 into the city treasury as his portion of the amount for opening the thoroughfare. He said that other property owners on the street who are now protesting against church, corner Adele and Emily streets: Bible classes, 10 A.M.; morning prayer and sermon by the rector, Rev. David Todd Gillmor, at 11 o'clock, subject, "Christ, the Great Gardener." The full vested choir under the leadership of C.

Simpson, left on Tuesday for Billings, Mont., where they go to close out property interests before returning here to take up their permanent home. Mr. Simpson will dispose of a large ranch in Montana and on his return to Anaheim will make further investments in this vicinity. They will be absent several weeks. For some time I paid $38 per year for fire insurance on a building valued at $700. At last I got tired and quit paying the extortionate rate. And I saved my $38 too," he said. A committee consisting of V. U. Simpson, Judge Shanley and Henry Adams was appointed to go before the city trustees at tonight's meeting and endorse the purchase of adequate fire apparatus by the city fathers, empowered to say that the proposition had received the approval and commendation of the board of trade. Judge Shanley came before the board with a grievance. A petition has been circulated on South Lemon street, he said, protesting against paving that thoroughfare. He thought it uncalled for and wanted to enter a protest. The judge had written to the abstract company at Santa Ana, inquiring about the title to lands lying on both sides of South Lemon street, between South and Broad streets. His reply was read and showed that the land recently purchased for opening South Lemon street already belonged to the city and was thus being paid for twice. And beyond that, that the owners of the adjoining land had been using the street for raising crops for the past several years, in fact since 1872, without paying a cent in taxes. "Unless the street be paved," he said, "I'll sue the city and get back $104 I paid for opening the street." Judge Shanley said that when the city recently opened South Lemon street, he paid $104.00 into the city treasury as his portion of the amount for opening the thoroughfare. He said that other property owners on the street who are now protesting against ZETTE APRIL 27, 1913 NUMBER 23 BOD OF TRADE MOVES FIRE PROTECTION AND FOR PURCHASE OF USE AND EQUIPMENT CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS TRANSACTED YEAR'S MEETING—SOUTH STREET PAVING constrating to the world looking to the best in community and putting record as favoring adequate fire protection for owners of the board of trade night's meeting voted to purchase by the city of and equipment necessi- ding adequate protection all parts of the city.

This amount, he declared, should be recovered by the city. He held that deeds to property on South Lemon street contained a reservation giving the city all lands necessary for opening the street. He also held that if the city trustees called for bids for paving Los Angeles street alone, where only three- quarters of a mile is to be paved, it would subject property owners on that street to heavy costs for the work. He said that Broadway and Lemon street should be included, so that property owners might have the advantage of a reasonable rate for paving. W. S. McFarlane protested against paying for something which had already been paid for, and said the city ought to be used for the return of the $1,700 paid in by property owners on South Lemon street for payment of the land used in opening the street from South to Broad. The committee appointed to take up the fire apparatus with the city trustees was also instructed to investigate the South Lemon street affair and bring it properly before the city council. H. M. Adams reported that he and his committee had visited Mr. Anderson at Colton, and that the latter gentleman had said that he would write his proposition from Salt Lake, whence he was going immediately. His letter was read. His hotel at Colton, says EASTER SERVICES AT THE CITY'S CHURCHES MUSICAL PROGRAMS RENDERED BY CHOIRS AND SPECIAL SER- MONS BY PASTORS CATHOLIC, EPISCOPAL, AND OTHER DENOMINATIONS HOLD BEAUTIFUL CEREMONIES Easter services in the churches of the city were very beautiful and well attended. Decorations were elaborate, flowers and greenery being very much in evidence. Large bouquets of lilies and other white flowers decorated the pulpits and the glorious Easter day was ushered in by anthems and hymns given in the best manner by the respective choirs. St. Michael's church has long been noted for its attractive and beautiful services, but none have been more delightfully impressive than those of Easter day.

Time I paid $38 per year once on a building valued last I got tired and quit restortionate rate. And I too," he said. The consisting of V. U. Shanley and Henry pointed to go before the next tonight's meeting and purchase of adequate wood. H. M. Adams reported that he and his committee had visited Mr. Anderson at Colton, and that the latter gentleman had said that he would write his proposition from Salt Lake, whence he was going immediately. His letter was read. His hotel at Colton, says Mr. Anderson, cost over $50,000. He has an offer now for the property at $35,000. If the place be sold immediately, he will sustain a loss of $15,000, whereas if he waits for some months, he can get at least $50,000. He offered to sell the place at once and come here if the citizens of Anaheim would make his loss of $15,000. The secretary was instructed to answer the letter and state that it would be impossible for the city to take up Mr. Anderson's proposition on those terms, as no bonus could be allowed, and Mr. Anderson also wants a table and bar license, which it is figured, is worth $10,000. If all this were granted him, it would amount to a bonus of $25,000, and that, thought the board, is too much. Mr. Simpson brought up the matter of having a big picnic in this city sometime in September of former citizens of Iowa, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin. He said he had talked with other members of the state federation in Los Angeles recently and he had been promised that probably 20,000 people would attend from all over Southern California, local people to furnish a big barbaque and provide for entertainment of the guests. It was suggested that the affair be made a fireman's benefit, and turn the proceeds into the company's treasury. The affair may be held at the time of the big farmers' institute and thus insure large crowds to see the products of this section exhibited at that time. The matter will be further discussed and taken up at a later meeting of the board. Chas. Eygabroad of the Orange County Bankers' Association, reported that at the special meeting of the association held some two weeks ago, the organization had unanimously agreed to buy the $200,000 worth of state highway bonds asked by the highway commission, and the bonds would be taken up at once. This announcement was received by applause. The oiling of a continuation of South Palm street was endorsed and the supervisor will be asked to do the work. Grading has already been done flowers and greenery being very much in evidence. Large bouquets of lilies and other white flowers decorated the pulpits and the glorious Easter day was ushered in by anthems and hymns given in the best manner by the respective choirs. St. Michael's church has long been noted for its attractive and beautiful services, but none have been more delightfully impressive than those of Easter day. The 8 o'clock holy communion, with its sacredness brightened by a most perfect morning, was the beginning of a day rich in solemnity and blessings. Bible school and adult classes at 10 o'clock were well attended, and pay a glowing tribute to the untiring efforts of those in charge. Members and friends of the church began arriving early and long before 11 o'clock every available seat was filled and late comers were willing to stand and enjoy the services, rather than miss any part of it. A profusion of lilies, bridal wreaths, plum blossoms, with a touch of purple iris and ornamental palms carefully arranged by the ladies of the church, made a beautifully impressive picture. For the first time in the history of St. Michael's church the choir wore vestments, and any one having doubted the advisability of such a plan, was immediately satisfied with the perfect success of the undertaking. Twenty-one now are members of the vested choir. The processional was led by little Miss Annie Murray Harleson, followed by Miss Fay Kern, Edith Redit, James Whitaker, Truman Griggs, Virginia Martenet, Jessie Boyd, Madaline Whitaker, Grace Adams, Jean Adams, Mrs. Storm, Mrs. Wallop, Mrs. Beebe, Morris Martenet, Gerald Whitaker, Eugene Storm, Prof. Worsley, F. N. Gibbs, J. H. Whitaker and the rector, Rev. Gillmor. The uniformity of appearance and the mingling of childish voices with the more mature ones, was delightful. The numerous musical selections by the choir showed the careful and excellent training of Mrs. C. Adams Corneille and the faithfulness of the adult members. The members of the church are always glad to hear Eugene Storm sing and the sweet sympathetic rendering of "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth," will long be remembered by those who heard him. The text for the morning sermon was taken from the Acts of the Apostles, 3rd chapter, 15th verse, "And killed the Prince of Life, whom God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses." The Rev. David Todd Gillmor has a way of finding all the beauty and Mrs. Dorothy Baum, mother of Mrs. B. G. Schlosser, suffered the breaking of her right arm at the wrist several days ago when she fell several steps to the foot of the stairs. She was descending the stairway when about six steps from the lower floor she slipped on a piece of apple peeling and fell to the floor. Her right arm was broken at the wrist, and she was shaken up considerably. She was placed under the care of a physician and at last accounts was getting along well, with chances good for complete recovery, although the lady's advanced age makes the healing of the broken bone slow. The very fact that every day 17,000 people go into stores and ask for "Walkovers" is conclusive evidence of their merit. Sold at the S. Q. R. Store. The members of the church are always glad to hear Eugene Storm sing and the sweet sympathetic rendering of "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth," will long be remembered by those who heard him. The text for the morning sermon was taken from the Acts of the Apostles, 3rd chapter, 15th verse, "And killed the Prince of Life, whom God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses." The Rev. David Todd Gillmor has a way of finding all the beauty and the earnest truth which is contained in a single verse, and the comprehensive manner in which he handled his address Easter morning shows how thoroughly versatile he is with the beautiful life of our Lord, his sufferings and glorious resurrection. Sixty members partook of the holy communion at the 11 o'clock service, being the greatest number at any one time for several years. The choral evensong was sung by the rector and choir at 7:30 o'clock, and enjoyed greatly by a large congregation. The offerings for the day were of special interest and for a special object. St. Michael's church owns no home for its rector's family. It was decided, therefore, to use all the offerings of Easter day as a nucleus for the rectory fund. It was exceedingly gratifying to have received about $250. Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church preached in the morning on "Man's Resurrection," and in the evening gave a short talk on the why and wherefore of Easter day. Special music was rendered by the choir both morning and evening. The morning anthem was "Hail, Mighty Victor, Hail," and Miss Juanita Powers, director of the choir, sang a solo, "From Gloom to Glory." Evening anthems (Continued on page 4)
