TWO NEW SUITS AGAINST LOCAL VOTERS MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED ARE CITED TO APPEAR IN THE SUPERIOR COURT HEARING WILL PROBABLY BE HELD SOME TIME NEXT WEEK Registration of 103 more persons in this city whose names appear on the rolls of the great register were named as defendants on Monday in the suits brought by the drys to purge the great register. Saturday the first suit was filed, with 53 defendants named. On Monday Attorneys Walter Eden and E. E. Keech filed two additional complaints with County Clerk Williams, and as in the first complaint judgment is asked making void the registration of each of the defendants. The list of 156 names is that furnished by Rev. R. H. Young and others of a committee of anti-saloon people who have been searching the registration affidavits and making comparisons with information concerning residents of Anaheim. As in the first complaint, registrations are attacked upon various grounds, including length of residence and ability to read the constitution. Under the procedure, unless a defendant appears to resist the action, his BEAUTIFUL WEDDING AT FULLERTON Miss Ethel Elmers and Ben J. Dauser Married at Catholic Church The Catholic church for the first time since its completion threw back its doors for the entrance of a bridal couple last Wednesday. The contracting parties were Ben J. Dauser, a prominent young rancher east of town, and Miss Ethel C. Elmers, of Anaheim. The marriage, which took place at 8:30 A.M. Wednesday, was witnessed by a large number of friends and acquaintances. The bride was delicately attired, the church beautifully and artistically decorated, and the groom dressed in black, presenting an animated scene, as the wedding party marched down the aisle of the church, to the strains of the beautiful march from Lohengrin. Rev. Father Gallagher performed the ceremony, after which Mr. and Mrs. Dauser received the congratulations of the many friends who were present. CITY COUNCIL SHYS AT THE SLIT SKIRT Santa Ana Lawmakers Refuse to Prohibit It on Streets The city trustee of Santa Ana have gone headlong into the purification of the local playhouses, but they refuse absolutely to attempt to reform women’s dress.

Young and others of a committee of anti-saloon people who have been searching the registration affidavits and making comparisons with information concerning residents of Anaheim. As in the first complaint, registrations are attacked upon various grounds, including length of residence and ability to read the constitution. Under the procedure, unless a defendant appears to resist the action, his name will be stricken from the rolls by the judge if the plaintiff makes the showing alleged. U. S. Amack is plaintiff in one of the actions filed Monday, and Jacob M. Gunnett in the other. As in Saturday's complaint, several drys are named as defendants, they being among a number of Anaheim people who have taken up land in Arizona. It is understood that no further names are listed for immediate suit. The defendants in the Amack case are: Fred Frandson, G. W. Wetzel, Romberg Jansen, Anne Jansen, Lupe D. Gaxiola, J. A.

Miller, Santa Ana Lawmakers Refuse to Prohibit It on Streets The city trustee of Santa Ana have gone headlong into the purification of the local playhouses, but they refuse absolutely to attempt to reform women's dress. Last night when the play purification ordinance was up for final passage, Mayor Frank Ey strongly urged the board to put in a paragraph prohibiting the earing of split skirts. Ey got no favor for his suggestion. All the councilmen were against it. "That is too big a question for this board to tackle," declared Trustee McPhee. "Any attempt that we might make to reform fashions in women's clothes would fail. Anyhow these days you cannot tell anything about a woman's character by the clothes she wears." The ordinance will go into effect tomorrow afternoon. It provides for a censor commission, one of the three members of which shall be a woman. On account of the wide interest manifested in the ordinance, the trustees have invited religious and civic bodies to suggest names for appointments on the commission. Under the law any manager who allows an objectionable play to be staged can be prosecuted, and any actor or actress committing acts upon the stage construed as vulgar can be arrested. Monday evening, October 27, at 8 o'clock the first tryout of the season will be held in the high school auditorium to choose the speakers for the Anaheim-Pasadena debate November 21. This will be the first debate of the season in the Southern California League. The question is, "Resolved that in demanding the closed shop organized labor is working for the best interests of the American people." Great interest is shown in debate this year. Twenty boys will participate in the preliminary tryout. The pupils entering are: Edwin Miller, Arthur Turck, Jack Spencer, George Maas, Edmund Bradley, Albert Messerschmidt, Charley Briscoe, George Hedstrom, Dale Quarton, Coe Wellman, Miss Jessurun, Frank Schacht, William Kohelenburger, Arthur Coons, Harold Goodale, Morris Martenet, John Brodley, Jack Doty, Donald Petermann and George Kemp. A private preliminary held in the afternoon will determine the best eight out of the twenty. These eight will appear in the public tryout. The President has ten national forests and congress has appended funds for their protection.

The number of pigs CALIFORNIA WEALTHIEST STATE California is the wealthiest and most productive State in the Union, according to statistics being compiled by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan. California leads the United States in the production of 10 out of 13 varieties of fruit grown in this country, is the fourth largest grower of alfalfa in the United States and produces more gold by several million dollars annually than any other State. These are some of the vital facts which will be contained in the statement. The statement will contain surveys of the counties and sections of the State from a mileage, and acreage standpoint, data which will convey necessary information as to the agricultural, mineral and horticultural resources, population, school and church facilities and estimates based on past figures regarding the future opportunities and possibilities for settlers and residents. This information will all be of a comparative nature and will enable the resident of any other State in the Union to determine the conditions in California as against those of whatever State in which he may be living.

FOREST FIRES ARE PREVALENT IN STATE LIBERAL APPROPRIATION FOR PROTECTION OF 19 NATIONAL FORESTS BY CONGRESS NUMBER OF PERSONS SPENDING SUMMER VACATION IN PARKS RAPIDLY INCREASING During the recent period of drought and high winds, when disastrous forest and brush fires were prevalent throughout California, many demands for assistance outside of the National Forests weer made on the office of the United States Forest Service in San Francisco by corporations and citizens whose property was threatened. If, through your courtesy, the public could be informed of the position of the federal forest service on such appeals, the favor would be sincerely appreciated. The President has set aside nineteen national forests in California, and congress has appropriated certain funds for their protection and development. The forest service, charged with this work, is not authorized to spend money (or the time of its officers, which is the same thing) in fighting fires outside the national forests unless it becomes necessary to do so for the protection of the national forests themselves. When the protection of rural property is beyond the resources of the enclosures are entirely denuded of stock within the fenced areas until the evetation. In some instances it is pointed out that large parties occupy choice meadow pastures and remain there until the feed is completely exhausted, thus depriving later visitors of opportunity to use the pastures. While the forest service is reluctant to impose any unnecessary restrictions upon the free use of the pastures, forest officers are beginning to think that some form of regulation will have to be required. RIGHT OF WAY FOR STATE ROAD Condemnation Suits Possible Against a Number of Property Owners County Surveyor McBride was in town this week procuring deeds to right of way for the state road through this county, work upon which will probably begin in the near future. Mr. McBride said that deeds for the entire right of way are well in hand, only a few remaining to be dealt with. A number of condemnation suits will probably be necessary, but these will be straightened out in short order, a new state law making it possible to proceed with these matters speedily. One property owner in this section, who at first refused to make a deed for a small part of his land, and informed McBride that he would stand a condemnation suit, executed a deed this week when notified that a suit was preparing to be filed against him. Several other property owners have not yet given deeds to right of way, and unless these are forthcoming this week condemnation suits will be entered against them in superior court. WATER COMPANY HOLDS REGULAR SESSION SELLS CONTRACT FOR GASOLINE TO THE AMALGAMATED OIL COMPANY PRICE OF WATER CHANGED TO 50 CENTS PER HOUR PER 100 INCHES Anaheim, Cal., Oct. 18, 1913. A regular meeting of the board of directors was held on the above date with all members present. Minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Mr. Hall appeared before the board and requested the board to pipe the present open cement ditch which crosses his property. On motion of Hale, seconded by Dwyer, this was referred to the ditch committee and engineer with power to act. On motion of Hale, seconded by Beazley, the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of J. Wm. Smith for $346.68, the amount due him on his contract on pit No. 4. Applications on file for transfer of stock were on motion granted. Gustave Stern appeared before the board and agreed to pay one-half the cost of a 12-inch line across the Benthin ranch on Orangethorpe avenue.

The forest service, charged with this work, is not authorized to spend money (or the time of its officers, which is the same thing) in fighting fires outside the national forests unless it becomes necessary to do so for the protection of the national forests themselves. When the protection of rural property is beyond the resources of the local residents, the towns, or the counties, the citizens must look to the state government for aid. When a situation arises so serious as to be a public calamity, threatening life and property, any officer of any United States service is justified in employing whatever authority he may have or whatever means may be at his disposal toward restoring the situation to normal. Such was the case when the United States troops and the forest service co-operated to fight the fire on Mount Tamalpais, which threatened a thickly-populated residence district. Within the national forests a fire prevention and suppression system is maintained at an annual expense to the government of from $140,000 to $250,000, depending on the severity of the season. The system comprises about 900 men in the field; 90 lookout stations equipped with fire detecting and locating devices; over 3,000 miles of government-owned telephone line and connections with an equal milage of privately owned line; patrol stations; tool and supply caches; motorcycles and railway speeders, etc. It provides for the organization in advance of fires of all available volunteer help—some 10,000 men—and for their quick equipment, transportation and immediate payment for services in case of fire. This system has handled 1,150 separate fires so far this season, 88 per cent of which were discovered, reported, reached and extinguished before they reached ten acres in size. Since September 1 over 218 fires have been extinguished, four of which reached serious proportions, or over 1,000 acres each, eight more being between 100 and 1,000 acres, and the remaining 206 held down below 100 acres. Very business-like terms of co-operative fire protection are offered by the forest service to owners of land within the national forests. The writer would be very glad to explain these terms in detail to any land-owner whose property is so situated that it can be covered in this protection system. The number of persons who spend new state law making it possible to proceed with these matters speedily. One property owner in this section, who at first refused to make a deed for a small part of his land, and informed McBride that he would stand a condemnation suit, executed a deed this week when notified that a suit was preparing to be filed against him. Several other property owners have not yet given deeds to right of way, and unless these are forthcoming this week condemnation suits will be entered against them in superior court. EXPRESS RATES REDUCED Sweeping reductions in express rates over the entire country became effective Wednesday upon an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The reduction ranged from about 16 to nearly 125 per cent in some instances, and will mean a saving of $26,000,000 annually to the people. These low rates are to be "tried out" two years. They may then become permanent if the commission finds they are not too great a handicap upon the express companies in their competition with the parcel post. The reductions today are the end of a long fight by the express companies, aided, it has been charged by the railroads. For over a year they have been held up pending further investigation by the commission. Rates on packages weighing 50 pounds or less have been practically all reduced. One hundred pound rates for instance have been left intact in most cases. In comparison with parcel post rates all packages weighing over four pounds will go cheaper than by parcel post when traveling from 200 to 3,000 miles. Under and over these conditions the rates are practically parallel. Read This -- Very Important $5 Glasses for $1.

Gustave Stern appeared before the board and agreed to pay one-half the cost of a 12-inch line across the Benthin ranch on Orangethorpe avenue. On motion of Beazley, seconded by Hale, Mr. Stern's proposition was accepted and the superintendent instructed to lay the pipe immediately. On motion of Hale, seconded by Dwyer, the secretary was instructed to notify the Amalgamated Oil Company that the Anaheim Union Water Company was willing to enter into the contract for sale of gasoline due us from Hurley, Smith & Collins Company, and would sign the contract with the Amalgamated Oil Company whenever the same was received. On motion of Hale, seconded by Sherwood, the price of water was changed to 50 cents per hour per 100 inches commencing Monday, October 20th, until further notice. On motion of Hale, seconded by Dwyer, the president and secretary were authorized to sign a warrant in favor of F. M. West for $96.40, in payment of two cars of crushed rock. The communication received from J. R. Newberry was on motion of Hale, seconded by Dwyer, referred to the S. A. R. D. Co.

The writer would be very glad to explain these terms in detail to any landowner whose property is so situated that it can be covered in this protection system. The number of persons who spend their summer vacations within the national forests is growing so rapidly that the question of providing suitable pasturage for their saddle and pack animals is becoming a problem. Campers naturally seek the spots where water is close at hand and where horse feed is abundant, in the hope that their stock will not be tempted to steal away in the night in search of more tempting pasturage. In order to provide such spots the forest service must set aside limited areas from which sheep and cattle are excluded. In many instances, particularly in the state of California, the forest service and the stockgrowers have co-operated in constructing small pastures for the use of tourists, who have thus been enabled to hold their stock on choice feed within enclosures without any cost or inconvenience. The aggregate acreage of forest land set aside for the use of campers is considerable, and it appreciably reduces the amount of land available for rthe pasturage of sheep and cattle, but presumably the loss is more than offset by the added enjoyment of the visitors to the forests. There is this difference, however; stockgrowers pay a fee for grazing their sheep or cattle, while the campers secure free pasturage. But with the construction of pastures for campers' use a new difficulty has arisen. The campers display a tendency to concentrate in the neighbor- GOLDMANS ON TRIAL. Managers of the Haux Spectacle Company Are Charged With Using the Mails to Defraud. (By A. P. Night Wire to The Times) ST. LOUIS, Oct. 20.—The trial of Uarny and Morris Goldman on a charge of using the mails to defraud began in the Federal Court here today. It is charged that the Goldmans, managers of the Dr. Haux Spectacle Company, advertised in weekly newspapers to send a pair of five-dollar spectacles to any one who mailed them a coupon attached to each advertisement. Counsel for the government stated that they would attempt to show that the Goldmans did not intend to forward spectacles for coupons but when they secured the name of a user of spectacles through their advertisement they opened correspondence with him in effort to sell him a pair for one dollar. It is charged that the spectacles were advertised as enabling a man "to shoot the smallest bird in the tallest tree on a hazy morning." The government claims that the spectacles were such as no reputable oculist would sell and that the Goldmans sold 200,000 pairs a year. If you need glasses go to reliable optometrist and be safe.
