LOCAL HIGH IN CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE WILL COMPETE WITH LOS ANGELES HIGH AT MANUAL ARTS BUILDING MAY 16 DEFEATED AT HANDS OF THE SAME SCHOOL IN THIRD OF SERIES FRIDAY NIGHT Losing its third debate of the year to its old antagonist, L. A. H. S., after scoring two victories, the first from Hollywood, the second from Whittier, and placing itself in position to again debate with Los Angeles for the championship of the year, Anaheim high returned from the debate with Los Angeles high in that city on Friday evening, defeated by a scant margin, but ready to again take up the question of supremacy between itself and its rival. The local school this year has a creditable record in the line of debating. Hollywood high fell before the onslaught of local silver-tongued orators on November 22, 1912, by the score of 206-2-3 to 188 in the Hollywood build-ported to be that Mr. Follette has prepared several orations and other papers on the Sherman anti-trust law question and was more prepared to speak on that question than any other, and Anaheim was practically forced to accept that question, the other one submitted being such a poor one that it was known local people would not accept it. Follette has announced his intention of not entering the championship debate, and if such be the case, Anaheim will have one less good man to cope with. The markings of the three judges was as follows: Storm 67, 96, 95, total 288; Spaeth 90, 94, 86, total 270; Cohen 100, 97, 93, total 290; Follette 95, 100, 100, total 295. Anaheim had a record attendance of rooters, upwards of 250 local people being on hand to encourage their contestants. The attendance of patrons of the school was exceptional, many parents and friends of the students going up to see the contest. Songs and yells were rendered in fine manner and school spirit was strong. Even after the announcement of the score, Anaheim adherents continued their demonstrations and it is said showed more spirit defeated than L. A. students winning. Five instructors of Los Angeles high said after it was all over, that they never had seen such spirit shown by students as was displayed by Anaheimers at the debate. Spectators stood about to hear the songs and yells of local students, which were led by debate with Los Angeles for the championship of the year, Anaheim high returned from the debate with Los Angeles high in that city on Friday evening, defeated by a scant margin, but ready to again take up the question of supremacy between itself and its rival. The local school this year has a creditable record in the line of debating. Hollywood high fell before the onslaught of local silver-tongued orators on November 22, 1912, by the score of 206 2-3 to 188 in the Hollywood building. Whittier was the next victim and bit the dust in this city January 31, this year, to the tune of 204 to 185 2-3. Besides these two victories in the Southern California league, she has two leading scores to her record in the Orange county extemporaneous league, having defeated Santa Ana and Fullerton high schools. The debate at Los Angeles Friday night, while won by that school, demonstrated the caliber of local debaters, for the contest was won by such a scant margin that Anaheim still leads its next nearest rival by 6 2-3 points, and will be entered in the championship debate which is to be held in the Manual Arts high school building in Los Angeles Friday evening, May 16. Previous to Friday evening's contest, Anaheim's score was 410 2-3 to Los Angeles' 403 2-3. After the debate Friday night which Los Angeles won by 205 to 186, the score stands Los Angeles 608, Anaheim 596 2-3, and Whittier, the next nearest, 590. The latter school, expecting Anaheim to win from Los Angeles Friday night, sent its representatives to a meeting of league officers in Los Angeles Saturday, assured that school would be entered in the championship debate, but alas, the ear-to-ear grin of the Whittier men was doomed to fade, for Anaheim had not beaten Los Angeles, as had been fondly hoped, and Anaheim and Los Angeles, and not Anaheim and Whittier are to be the competing schools. Anaheim has not been in on the championship since 1907 and local students think it is about time to "cop" the trophy again. Hollywood has been the lucky school the past two years, and must be now content to take fifth place in favor of another school. The faculty and students of Anaheim and Los Angeles high schools will now bend every energy toward winning the championship, and one of the best debates on record may be looked forward to. The latter school has five thousand students from which to pick debaters to the former's two hundred, but, nothing daunted, local debaters will go in to win, and they are counted on to come out ahead of POPULAR JEWELER WED A.

The decision of the judges is considered a fair one, and the Anaheim contestants take their defeat in the best manner possible, there being no growling or kicking of any kind.

The latter school has five thousand students from which to pick debaters to the former's two hundred, but, nothing daunted, local debaters will go in to win, and they are counted on to come out ahead of their Los Angeles opponents. The standing of the eight schools composing the league at the present time is as follows: Los Angeles, 608; Anaheim, 596 2-3; Whittier, 590; Pasadena, 580 5-6; Hollywood, 568 2-3; Inglewood, 566¼; San Pedro, 562 1-12; South Pasadena, 528 1-3. Anaheim was represented in the contest Friday night by Walter Spaeth and Hans Storm and Los Angeles by George Cohen and Channing Follette. Storm led off for Anaheim, and was followed by Cohen for Los Angeles. Spaeth came second for the local school, and Follette for Los Angeles, the rebuttal being taken up by Storm. The question was, Resolved, that the Sherman anti-trust law should be repealed. Anaheim upheld the affirmative and its opponent the negative. All the speeches were well given, and the contest was close throughout. Follette, who was awarded first place by two of the judges, is considered the best debater of the L.

Anaheim's two representatives both did exceptionally well and were accorded high marks by the judges. One reason that L. A. won out is re- The W. C. T. U. will meet at the home of Mrs. D.

It was decided to present the petition to the board of supervisors at its next meeting and to ask that a date for the election be set as soon as possible. A number of meetings have been held at Stanton during the past few ed to it on the part of farmers remaining in the town, that the north-siders resolved to stand or fall together, and instead of being sequestered out, will demand a vote on disincorporation. Should the northern limits of the town be placed at Orange street, the Magnolia school house would be excluded from the municipality and it would be necessary for the Stanton people to erect a new school house. Added to this is the rumor, which has been persistently circulated for many months past that an effort would be made to bond the town for a city hall and other town improvements. These things made Farmer Cole jump stiff legged and he lay awake of nights thinking of hard times and high taxes. His taxes this year were a third more than last year, and the future, he says, as to increased taxation, does not look particularly bright to him. He looks for a 33 1-3 per cent raise this year and another raise next year. The vote at last year's general election in the city of Stanton was 240, registration of women having increased the voting strength by some 100 votes. Farmer Cole says he has more than 160 names upon his petition asking the supervisors to call an election on disincorporation. It requires a majority of voters to sign a petition asking for an election, and before disincorporation can ensue, a two-thirds vote is necessary. This Farmer Cole says he has in reserve, and he pro- CEMENT BRIDGE TO BE BUILT AT OLIVE SUPERVISORS AGREE TO ERECT A SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLAR STRUCTURE APPROPRIATION FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT ALSO CONCEDDED THIS DISTRICT After long contention and many disappointments the third supervisorial district has finally won a concession from the board of supervisors. The old wooden bridge spanning the Santa Ana river at Olive will shortly give way to a substantial cement structure costing probably $60,000. Supervisor Schumacher, who has been working for this bridge and other road improvements in the third district states that the board of supervisors has agreed to the construction of the bridge, also to the appropriation of sufficient funds for building at least five miles of paved highway in the third district in addition to the county highway system already estab- on Wednesday evening, when a petition bearing signatures of more than 160 voters asking supervisors to call an immediate election upon disincorporation was presented and unanimously indorsed by more than 100 farmers who were present at the meeting. It was decided to present the petition to the board of supervisors at its next meeting and to ask that a date for the election be set as soon as possible. A number of meetings have been held at Stanton during the past few weeks with a view to discussing the propriety of disincorporation, and at each meeting the movement grew in strength until at the present time more than two-thirds of the voters of the municipality have expressed a desire to vote themselves out of the town. High taxes, and the probability that a paved road will be built through the section should the town be disincorporated are main reasons for the insurrection, which however, has continued with more or less bitterness ever since organization of the town two years ago. At that time the municipality was organized by a vote of 69 to 60, a majority of nine for incorporation. Since that time Farmer Cole of Hardscrabble ranch and his associates have declared that they would sooner or later disincorporate the town and there now seems every prospect of the Hardscrabble man carrying his threat into execution. Added impetus has been given the movement by the fact that if the town disincorporates, a paved road running four miles through its length will be built by the county, while if the municipality is sustained, the county highway system will leave Stanton without paved thoroughfares. The town was formed two years ago with a view to preventing the city of Anaheim from erecting a septic tank on the Gilbert ranch for its sewer system. When it became known in the west country that this city proposed erecting a septic tank on this ranch, widespread opposition immediately developed, and it was pointed out that incorporation was the only means of preventing a sewer farm in its vicinity. A territory of 16 square miles was included within the exterior boundaries of the proposed incorporation. When the petition was presented before the board of supervisors, 75 residents of the territory embraced within the boundaries appeared before the board and protested themselves out of the proposed town. At a meeting a week later, 60 other farmers appeared before the supervisors protesting against inclusion. Had their protest been acceded to, and they been excluded from The vote at last year's general election in the city of Stanton was 240, registration of women having increased the voting strength by some 100 votes. Farmer Cole says he has more than 160 names upon his petition asking the supervisors to call an election on disincorporation. It requires a majority of voters to sign a petition asking for an election, and before disincorporation can ensue, a two-thirds vote is necessary. This Farmer Cole says he has in reserve, and he proposes marching with his band of insurgents upon the citadel of the municipality early in the coming summer and demanding a peaceful revolution to be fought out at the ballot box. Following incorporation of the new town, the city of Anaheim purchased land two and one-half miles east of the Gilbert ranch and is there maintaining a septic tank and sewer farm. The tank is constructed upon specifications laid down by Prof. Imshoff, is sanitary in all respects, and emits no odors. It is not thought likely the city of Anaheim will attempt to erect another tank on the Gilbert ranch should Stanton disincorporate. The present tank is capable of taking care of all sewage and will, in the opinion of City Engineer Steward, be able to do so for many years to come. MISSING OFFICERS RETURN IN SAFETY Bud Sackett and Jack Iman Have Time of Their Lives in Returning From Patton Officers Bud Sackett and Jack Iman left here on Thursday morning for Patton asylum, having in charge Jose Martinez, a Mexican arrested at the sugar factory last week for threats against the lives of several residents of that neighborhood. Martinez was adjudged to be insane by Judge West, and was ordered committed to Patton. The officers arrived at the asylum at noon, delivered their prisoner to the authorities there, and immediately started on their homeward trip. A mile and a half out their auto became disabled. They remained in the road two hours until a passing machine picked them up and towed them into San Bernardino. Here it was found necessary to telegraph into Los Angeles for parts of the machine's magneto apparatus which had been destroyed. The officers intended returning here on Thursday evening, and when nothing had been heard from them on Friday morning, fears for their safety were enter- Ana river at Olive will shortly give way to a substantial cement structure costing probably $60,000. Supervisor Schumacher, who has been working for this bridge and other road improvements in the third district states that the board of supervisors has agreed to the construction of the bridge, also to the appropriation of sufficient funds for building at least five miles of paved highway in the third district in addition to the county highway system already established. Mr. Schumacher has been assured by the board of supervisors that in the future an equitable distribution of public money will be made, and that other bridges much needed in the district will be granted. The bridge will be built of concrete and will cost at least $60,000, possibly $70,000. Thirty thousand dollars of this amount is now in the treasury available for the work and the balance will be paid out of the current fund. Work will not begin on the bridge, however, until the consummation of the river protection district, now in course of formation, as the supervisors demand that the approaches and the highway leading to the structure be protected from the river's occasional overflow. Members of the Anaheim board of trade, having charge of the organization of a protection district, stated several weeks ago that more than a sufficient number of residents of the proposed district favored it, and that it would be established as soon as the boundary lines could be determined, and the signatures secured. In order to secure the much-needed improvements in this district, Mr. Schumacher entered into a mutual agreement with other members of the board of supervisors in which he consented to support an appropriation toward the construction of a coast boulevard, which was conceived by the oceanside residents after they lost state highway. The amount of the appropriation asked of the board is 5 per cent of the total cost of construction, or approximately $20,000. The amount of money appropriated for road construction in this supervisorial district has not yet been determined but it will be sufficient to construct at least five miles of first-class highway. It will not be expended on a single stretch of road, but Mr. Schumacher says the money will be used where the greatest need exists. In future all moneys apportioned to several road districts in the county, which remains unused, will be apportioned back to that district for future use therein. In the past such unused money has been turned back into the general fund, and has in many A territory of 16 square miles was included within the exterior boundaries of the proposed incorporation. When the petition was presented before the board of supervisors, 75 residents of the territory embraced within the boundaries appeared before the board and protested themselves out of the proposed town. At a meeting a week later, 60 other farmers appeared before the supervisors protesting against inclusion. Had their protest been acceded to, and they been excluded from the proposed municipality, there would not have been left a sufficient number of people within the boundaries to warrant calling an election for incorporation. The supervisors held, however, that their protest came too late. An election was called and after a bitter fight incorporation carried May 23, 1911, by a vote of 69 to 60. Farmer Cole and his associates took a case in the superior court, alleging irregularities in organizing the town. Judge West ruled against him, and an appeal of the case is now before the appellate court. Some weeks ago a proposition was made residents in the northern limits of Stanton to segregate them from the municipality. It was agreed among a number that the northern boundary line of the town should be placed on Orange street, which runs east and west through the town at a point some distance south of Magnolia school house. This strip contains about one-third of the area of Stanton and about a third of its vote. It is three-quarters of a mile wide at its western limit and widens to more than two miles at its eastern limits, embracing all of the Brookshurst territory. Several meetings have been held to consider this question, but such opposition developed authorities there, and immediately started on their homeward trip. A mile and a half out their auto became disabled. They remained in the road two hours until a passing machine picked them up and towed them into San Bernardino. Here it was found necessary to telegraph into Los Angeles for parts of the machine's magneto apparatus which had been destroyed. The officers intended returning here on Thursday evening, and when nothing had been heard from them on Friday morning, fears for their safety were entertained by many. It was thought that they might have had trouble with Martinez, and as nothing was heard from them up to Friday evening, Marshal Kellenberger and Billy Duckworth started in an auto up River canyon to see if they could ascertain anything regarding their whereabouts. On arriving at Corona they learned Sackett and Iman had arrived at Patton and had immediately left that place. They also learned they were detained at San Bernardino by a disabled machine. Kellenberger returned to this city at 10 o'clock on Friday night. Sackett and Iman left San Bernardino at noon on Saturday, having been delayed two days by their disabled machine. They arrived here on Saturday afternoon, saying they had had the devil's own time on their return trip. After leaving, two blowouts and a puncture added to their vexations. They strenuously denied reported stories that they had been detained in the Patton asylum. This was accepted as true by their friends here, who entertained considerable anxiety regarding their safety during Friday and Friday night. A Gazette liner will bring home the bacon. Try it. Members of the board of trade and their wives have been invited to attend the Fairyland moving picture show in a body and the invitation has been accepted for next Monday night. Members of the party will meet at the library on South Los Angeles street at 7:45 where an informal meeting will be held in the board of trade rooms, and will then go in a body to the show, arriving there at 8:15 for the beginning of the second performance. All members of the board of trade and their wives are invited to attend. Election for school trustees occurs at Central school house tomorrow. Wm. H. Chambers, the present efficient clerk of the school board, whose term expires, is a candidate for re-election. C. E. Chamberlain, the local contractor, is also a candidate for the position. Both gentlemen have a host of strong supporters and it is probable a large vote will be called out by the contest. NEW SUPERINTENDENT IN CHARGE OF FACTORY Finds Factory One of Best in the Country—Repairing Being Done D. Jessurun, new superintendent of the Anaheim Sugar Company's factory north of town, has taken personal charge of affairs about the mill and is overseeing repairing and making plans for the coming campaign which will begin in July. A force of about 50 men is working at the present time, and this will probably be increased to 150 this month. Repairs and alterations will then be made rapidly until the opening of the campaign when the entire plant will have been gone over and will be in first-class condition. Mr. Jessurun was until recently superintendent of the National Sugar Manufacturing Company's plant at Sugar City, Colo., and filled the position with credit, winning for himself a reputation for knowing the sugar business from A to Z. Mr. Jessurun went to Sugar City when there was nothing there but a desert, and when the men sought relief from the beating sun, they were forced to stand in the shade of telegraph poles, no trees being at that time planted. He saw the town grow from nothing to a municipality of 3,000 people, and the country round about change from a desert to a rich agricultural country, one of the richest beet-raising sections on the face. LOCAL ATHLETES WIN IN TRACK MEET BEEBE COPS MILE AND HALF MILE EVENTS IN LOS ANGELES SATURDAY ELLIOTT, BY FOUL, LOSES FIRST IN DISCUS THROW—BOTH ENTERED AT BERKELEY MEET Clarence Beebe and Raymond Elliott again helped to put Anaheim on the athletic map of Southern California Saturday when the former won the mile and half mile runs and the latter came out third in the discus throw in the Southern California high schools' track meet held in Los Angeles. Beebe made the mile in 4 minutes and 35 seconds, thus setting a new Southern California interscholastic record, the former record being 4:39 1-5. In the half his time was 2 minutes, 2½ seconds. This does not come up to his former record of 1:59 4-5, made at Santa Ana in the Orange county track meet some weeks ago. He was not in the best of form on Saturday, and, knowing he had the event scheduled did CHURCH DEDICATION LARGELY ATTENDED German Baptist Building Scene of Highly Interesting Meeting Sunday The dedication services last Sunday at the German Baptist church were attended by a full house. Rev. J. H. Markel of Los Angeles delivered an elegant sermon, using the words: "How amiable are thy tabernacles, Lord of hosts! My soul longeth, yea even faintth for the courts of the Lord"—Psa. $4:1-2. In the afternoon interesting and encouraging addresses were given by Rev. J. Albert of Stanton, Rev. J. H. Merkel of Los Angeles, Rev. C. Spaeth, pastor of the German Methodist church of Anaheim, and D. Lampert, the Bible man, appointed for this district. A mal sermon in the evening, showing very clearly the form of Biblical baptism. After the sermon ten souls were baptized upon confession of their faith. The Jordan painting serving as background to the baptistry, gave to the sacred act of baptism a most touching and beautiful effect. Immediately after the baptising Rev. A. H. Zahl, pastor of the German Evangelical church, dismissed the audience with the benediction. The choir anthems were the cause of much comment by the visitors, the words of those beautiful German hymns being so clearly vocalized. The congregation and visitors contributed the sum of $500.00 on this Sunday, to help cover the debt on the newly erected building. The cost of the building is $3,500. The sum of $2,600 is assured by cash and subscriptions, leaving a debt of $900. Elliott made a heave of 109 feet 2 inches with the discus, but owing to the fact that he stepped slightly out of the ring, he was allowed only 106 feet 1 inch. Had it not been for this slight foul, he would undoubtedly have won first place for himself and would have been the star of the meet in that event. As it was he had to be content with third place. A large number of students and faculty members of the Anaheim high school were in attendance at the meet, which was held on the Y. M. C. A. field in Los Angeles. Besides these, there were many people from this city who are not identified with the high school and their going betokened a very commendable home boosting spirit. Prof. Walter Hall was in charge of the Anaheim lads and has kept them in perfect training for some weeks in preparation for the meet. Both boys have made a record for themselves in track work this year, as well as in basket ball and other teams, and are numbered among the best athletes of the Southland. Both of them, together with Prof. Hall, left yesterday afternoon for Berkeley, where they will be entered in the Pacific coast track meet to take place Saturday. Beebe will run in the mile and half mile, and it is expected he will set new coast records in those events. Elliott is entered in the discus throw, and he is counted upon to be among the winners, having made a new record this week of over 110 feet in practice. The meet Saturday is held under auspices of the Big “C” society of the University of California, and will be participated in by athletes from all the Pacific coast states. It was in this meet held two years ago that Fred Kelly of Orange won for himself a reputation which sent him to Stockholm to compete in the Olympic games, and if Beebe does what is expected of him in the meet Saturday, he will probably be among those from this State who will compete in the international games when they are next NARROWLY ESCAPES A VIOLENT DEATH Young Son of Harry S. Jayne Falls From Buggy, Sustains Injuries Robert, the 3½-year-old son of Harry S. Jayne, narrowly escaped death under the hoofs of his father's driving horse on Wednesday afternoon of last week, when he fell from the buggy under the horse. Mr. Jayne and his son had just returned from Placentia, when at the corner of Lemon and Adele streets, the horse, which was going at a good gait, shied sharply to the right, and the little boy, who was not holding tightly to the seat, was thrown forward, lighting under the horse's hoofs. The animal backed and began pawing the ground. With the aid of a spectator, Mr. Jayne was assisted in drawing the child to safety. It was thought at first that the lad's wrist had been broken, but such was not the case. The horse had stepped on the child's right arm and left leg, but had not inflicted serious wounds. The parts were tied up for a few days, but at last accounts the lad was well and about among his fellows, playing as in the old time. The boys are also entered in the track meet to be held on Saturday of next week under auspices of Stanford University, and as the spring vacation of the local school is to be held next week, they will remain in the north and take in both meets on the one trip, returning here on April 13, in time for the opening of school on the 14th. Remember boys, Anaheim is looking to you to win. G. M. Simpson, who left for Billings, Mont., two weeks ago, writes that he will return here next week, having disposed of his property interests there. His mother, who accompanied him on the trip, will remain in Billings for a visit of several months with friends and relatives.
