RUDDOCK FILES HIS ANNUAL REPORT CRIME IN ORANGE COUNTY KEEPS PACE WITH THE INCREASED POPULATION THREE TIMES AS MANY ARRESTS AS IN 1910—CHOLOS LEAD AS MALEFACTORS Sheriff Charley Ruddock was in town on Saturday afternoon from Santa Ana, driving over in his automobile on his way to Fullerton, to assume charge of pursuit of two "Peeping Toms" who have been giving residents of our neighboring town a vast amount of annoyance of late. One of the malefactors is believed to be a Mexican, and was shot at three times one night last week by an irate citizen, into whose house he was peering while members of the family were retiring for the night. The miscreant shielded himself by a projecting chimney, the brick work of which was grazed by one of the bullets. He succeeded in making his escape in the dark and is believed to have left town. Identity of the other peeper is pretty well established and a concerted effort is making to place him under arrest. Sheriff Ruddock is satisfied both men will be taken into custody before long. Ruddock is one of the foremost peace officials of the state. His capture of the notorious bandit, Saiz, in Mexico after the latter had escaped from the county jail during Lacey's administration, locking Lacey in one of but died in the county jail a week after his capture of consumption. He was taken as he lay upon a couch in a tent at the home of a friend at El Modena. A flickering coal oil lamp dimly lighted up the interior. Under his pillow was lodged a 38-caliber automatic revolver. As Ruddock stepped into the tent, surprising Davis, he reached for the weapon, knowing it was under the pillow, and secured possession of it instantly. Ruddock will be a candidate for reelection next year and if indications count for anything he will sweep the county at the primaries. It is not believed another man in the county can have a look in at the primaries against him. The northern end of the county, where Ruddock lived a number of years and is probably the best known, will vote for him solidly, while his friends consider its all over but the shouting. Ruddock has recently made his annual report to the State Board of Charities and Corrections. From his report it is learned that the percentage of crime in this county is keeping pace with the increase in population and also proves that the amount of criminal business transacted through that office has almost doubled in the past three years. Sheriff C. E. Ruddock says that the people are not developing criminal tendencies, but that the large influx of Mexican peons, attracted by the work in the beet fields, are the cause, and furnish about 60 percent of the criminal element in the county. He is loud in his praise of the ordinance passed by the county supervisors about six months ago, fixing a heavy penalty for the carrying of concealed weapons, and says that it has reduced the number of shooting scrapes at least one-half during the last few months.

Identity of the other peeper is pretty well established and a concerted effort is making to place him under arrest. Sheriff Ruddock is satisfied both men will be taken into custody before long. Ruddock is one of the foremost peace officials of the state. His capture of the notorious bandit, Saiz, in Mexico after the latter had escaped from the county jail during Lacey's administration, locking Lacey in one of the steel tanks at the jail, brought him renown throughout the country. Saiz killed a Mexican at Sunset Beach a number of years ago and escaped to Mexico. He was captured and brought back and lodged in the county jail. On a Sunday afternoon, as a young lady was holding religious services in the jail, he and a fellow convict named Macias made a break for liberty as Sheriff Lacey opened the inner steel door to permit the young lady to retire. Saiz seized Sheriff Lacey, thrust him inside the steel cage, locking the door upon him. He and Macias made their get-away, and while the sheriff's office scoured the country for them they crossed the border line into Mexico. It was not until Sheriff Ruddock assumed office that both desperadoes were arrested in Mexico and brought back. Macias was sent up for 13 years in San Quentin. Saiz went up for life. Ruddock's capture of the desperado Bill Davis two years ago, also brought him fame as a fearless officer. Davis was probably the most notorious bandit who ever lived in Orange county. He was credited with having perpetrated many robberies in the county. He was captured by Ruddock and a posse of officers at El Modena one Sunday in December, 1911. Davis began a partial confession of his many crimes "Australia Gives Japs Hard Deal" Representative Knowland Finds They Have Fewer Rights There Than in America Although Japan has made a grave international controversy out of the California alien land legislation, Representative Joseph B. Knowland of California says that certain states and territories of the Australian commonwealth far more directly discriminate against Japanese. This prompts Californians to inquire why Japan is sharply objecting to alien land legislation in the United States and accepting it from a portion of the British empire, her ally. Mr. Knowland gave the benefit of his research in the statutes of the various Australian states. He cannot obtain free hold land unless he can write from dictation words from such language as the minister of lands may select. This test is said to be never applied to Europeans; moreover, it may be applied any time within three years after the application of the alien for the right to own lands. The law also provides that an alien in order to own land must become a naturalized subject of the commonwealth within three years. The naturalization laws forbid the naturalization of natives of Asia.

HEYING'S DRUG STORE ANAHEIM This test is said to be never applied to Europeans; moreover, it may be applied any time within three years after the application of the alien for the right to own lands. The law also provides that an alien in order to own land must become a naturalized subject of the commonwealth within three years. The naturalization laws forbid the naturalization of natives of Asia. Japan and China therefore are debarred from ownership of land in Queensland on the score of ineligibility to citizenship, which is precisely where the line is drawn in California. Mr. Knowland also explained that in South Australia Asiatics are disqualified from holding land in the irrigation areas. In the northern territory the crown land law of 1890 forbids any Asiatics to acquire the fee simple of any land, while another act of 1903 forbids the granting of mining leases to an Asiatic. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere thanks to all the loving friends who gave so generously of their kind sympathy in the sad hour of our bereavement, consequent upon the death of our son and brother, Prescott. Also, for all the beautiful floral offerings we wish to express our appreciation. MR. and MRS. A. A. MILL and Family. Judge West has appointed Charles C. Smith, principal of the Orange schools, as a member of the juvenile court committee to take the place of L. A. Durfée of Orange, resigned. Smith is a member of the county board of education. "Parcel post is a great thing." "Yep," assented the grocer. "You can stick a stamp on a can of corn and send it right out to a farmer." INA AND ABOUT COUNTY Awarded Damages The superior court Saturday awarded A. Raymer $650 judgment as commission on a realty deal. Raymer furnished a buyer for Mrs. Susan Hobb's ranch after the property had been turned over to him for sale. After a buyer was found, Mrs. Hobbs would not sell. Fix Price of Water When the ordinance fixing the price for domestic water under the municipal system is adopted at Fullerton it will provide a minimum rate of $1 a month for any quantity up to 6,000 gallons. Those who use more will pay 12½ cents per thousand gallons up to 10,000 gallons. Above that quantity the rate will be 10 cents per 1,000 gallons. These figures have been agreed upon after discussion of the conditions as compared with other towns, and in view of the probable cost of operating the new system here. The Gasoline Industry The manufacture of gasoline is becoming an industry of considerable importance in this vicinity. Two new plants are now being installed in the oil fields. The H. C. & S. Gasoline Co. have received four 100 horse power boilers for their plant which is being located on the Amalgamated lease east of Brea. They are now setting the compressors and will soon be maufacturing. Another new plant is located on the Santa Fe lease at Olinda. They have two 100 horse power boilers installed and a 120 horse power Corliss engine and will manufacture gasoline by the freezing process. Has Claim of $250 Attorney W. W. Clary of Los Angeles applied for letters of administration on the estate of Francisco Sanchez who was killed while at work for Jap Celery Grower in Trouble A complaint was issued from the district attorney’s office last Thursday, charging F. Nishumura with issuing checks to T. E. Lopez and Enacio Ramínez, employed by Nishumura in the celery fields southwest of town. The checks were drawn on the Orange County Savings Bank, Santa Ana, and were for $16 and $14, respectively, and, when presented for payment, were stamped “No funds” by the bank. A warrant has been issued for Nishumura’s arrest and placed in the hands of Constable Heard for service. Dredging at Sunset Beach By the first of the week the big dredger that was brought up the coast and placed in the lagoon at Sunset Beach will be at work, and until the 200,000 cubic yards of earth are removed and the mile and a half of canal created there will be no pause in the work. The lagoon that is to be constructed will run in the entire length of the Sunset Beach properties and will have direct communication with the many miles of natural lagoons that penetrate into the back country. The earth that will be thrown out will be used in creating about 450 more residence lots. The plans of the South Coast Improvement Company include the building of two islands in the center of the canal, one for residence purposes and one for a park. Guardianship For Minor In the juvenile court Saturday Judge West ordered that Amelia Sanchez, aged 12, be placed in charge of Junta C. Morales, of Santa Ana. The examination concerning the disposal of the girl brought out an example of the loose manner of living of some of the laborers who come to this country from Mexico. Jesus Sanchez recently finished a term in jail for disturbing the peace at Anaheim. While in jail the woman he had been living with sold by him to Victor Echols, aged 16. For some time Constable Jackson has been endeavoring to find out where several small boys have been getting tobacco. The evidence gathered by him indicates that Hiro has been an offender repeatedly. So far as can be learned the one charge in the Mary Green case is that brought Friday. The woman who sold the tobacco is the wife of the proprietor. She told the officer that the boy went into the store and tried to buy cigarettes. He then persuaded her to sell him a sack of Durham tobacco, saying that his father had sent him for it. The woman said she was ignorant of the state law. A Triple Collision Crist Habener of Orange, who drove his automobile loaded with passengers against a Santa Fe passenger train a few days ago in his home city, was again in the limelight Thursday in Santa Ana. Mr. Habener has resumed the operation of his stage line between Orange and Santa Ana with a different machine his other car being Guardianship For Minor In the juvenile court Saturday Judge West ordered that Amelia Sanchez, aged 12, be placed in charge of Junta C. Morales, of Santa Ana. The examination concerning the disposal of the girl brought out an example of the loose manner of living of some of the laborers who come to this country from Mexico. Jesus Sanchez recently finished a term in jail for disturbing the peace at Anaheim. While in jail the woman he had living with for two years left him to live with another man. When the judge asked Sanchez why he had not married the woman Sanchez replied that he wanted first to find out whether or not she was the right woman for him. He said he drank port wine and beer. The judge told him that he must quit drinking, else the court would take the daughter, to whom Sanchez is much attached, from him. Arrangements were made for the girl to live at the home of J. C. Morales, Sanchez to support her. Denies Petition For Guardianship Though Mrs. Ann Titus of Yorba Linda is 91 years old she is able to take care of her property. Some of her friends thought she needed a guardian, but Mrs. Titus and some of the rest of her friends could not see it that way and they convinced Judge West that they were right in the contention. W. P. Ong was the petitioner. He affirmed that some of his family had been acting as adviser for the woman, and that she had declined to take their advice to accept a loan of $1,500 on her property. That was one reason they thought she was too old to take care of her property. The testimony showed that the woman is confined to her bed with a broken hip. Attorney R. Y. Williams appeared for Mrs. Titus. Minnie G. Lee, a nurse who has been caring for Mrs. Titus, declared emphatically that Mrs. Titus' mind is clear, and that she needs no guardian. Mrs. Frank Davis and Jack Davis, neighbors, also testified that the aged woman's mind is sound. Ong's petition was denied by the court. Los Angeles Firm Get Contract George S. Benson & Sons of Los Angeles has the lowest bid for building three and two-thirds miles of county good roads, bids for which were opened by the board of supervisors Friday. The low bid totals $15,361.38. The road is that known as the Oarnge-Tustin road. The route laid out for it is east on East Chapman avenue from the east city limits of Orange to McPherson, then to First street, Tustin, by way of Prospect avenue, Benson turing building and contracted for 45 acres of tomatoes and orders for between 3,000 and 5,000 cases, but complications arose and he was not able to secure the building. Another Oil Well Another well owned by the Standard Oil Company on what is known as the Emery lease, has been brought in and proves to be by far the best well on the lease. The well flows 3,000 barrels a day and some claim even more. The oil tests 24 gravity which is not quite as good as the other two wells on the same lease. When No. 2 produces 900 barrels a day, and 28 gravity; and No. 1 produces 300 barrels. The Standard Company has spent thousands of dollars in the southern fields without bringing in a single producer until they obtained a lease on 80 acres on the Emery ranch. The company sank wells on all sides of the Coyote Hills and failed to get oil. The new well is 3,520 feet deep on what is called low land. It is known as No. 3. Walls Gets Bad Check Ray W. Perry, aged 21, was located in the county jail at Fresno nearly six months after he passed a $50 forged check in a Newport Beach saloon, and Friday was brought from the jail of Fresno county to the jail of Orange county. Saturday morning he was arraigned before Justice Cox and his preliminary examination was set for August 14. The complaint against Perry was sworn to by J. W. Walls. The check was for $50, drawn on the Security Trust & Savings bank of Los Angeles, and the name Allen Craig was forged to it. Perry, at that time 20 years old, bought liquor at the saloon and had the check cashed. At one time he worked in the oil fields near Fullerton. He was brought from Fresno by Constable Charles Young of Fullerton. Los Angeles Firm Get Contract George S. Benson & Sons of Los Angeles has the lowest bid for building three and two-thirds miles of county good roads, bids for which were opened by the board of supervisors Friday. The low bid totals $15,361.38. The road is that known as the Oarnge-Tustin road. The route laid out for it is east on East Chapman avenue from the east city limits of Orange to McPherson, then to First street, Tustin, by way of Prospect avenue. Benson bid on the Orangethorpe road and the Santa Ana-Huntington Beach road a month ago, but was not successful then. Friday 12 bids were received. The bids were figured out by the engineers in the office of the county highway commission as follows: George S. Benson & Sons, $15,361.38; Cox & Mathews, $16,379.50; the M. R. Co., $16,723.52; John R. Ott Construction Co., $16,879.10; Occidental Construction Company, $16,889.43; Rogers Bros. Co., $17,124.70; J. S. Hilend, $17,817.80; Withers & Crites, $18,237.03; W. A. Dontanville, $18,757.94; Walker Construction Co., $18,780; Oscar Ford, $20,024.59; Richard Rothwell, $26,517. Woman Sold Tobacco to Minor Friday morning Justice Cox issued two warrants charging that tobacco has been sold to minors in violation of the state law at Santa Ana. One warrant names Mary Green as the defendant and the other names T. Hiro. Mary Green is the faminee for John Doe, and was used because the officers at the time the complaint was sworn to did not know the true name of the woman alleged to have sold a sack of Durham tobacco to Raymond Vincent, aged 11. She paid the minimum fine, $25. Hiro runs a Japanese store. The charge against him is that tobacco was ..JUST ARRIVED..
