BOARD OF TRADE DISCUSSES FACTORY MEETING OF THE BOARD MONDAY HEARS REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE PROMOTERS OF AUTO TRUCK CO. AND COMMITTEE NOT YET REACHED AGREEMENT After much discussion and argument the Board of Trade, at a special meeting Monday night endorsed the proposition presented by Messrs. Brazzolari, Barnes and Innis for the establishment of an auto truck factory here. The object of the special call was to hear and consider a report of the committee appointed at the last regular meeting to make an examination of the books and investigate the financial condition of the company which is seeking a location for its proposed factory. A. A. Mills, Herman Noll and Louis Bushard were members of the committee who went up to Los An- This makes about 41 per cent on $450,000. The hydraulic mechanism of the machine is simple and seems very effective, and would appear to be a marvelous invention, thus insuring unlimited sales. The factory would use at least 50 men the first year, and would gradually work up to probably 200. These men would be worth more than the average wage, ranging from $5 down to $2.50. The factory would be a very desirable institution. A. A. MILLS, H. P. NOLL, Committee. There was much discussion after Chairman Mills read the report of the committee. The members of the board did not doubt the efficiency of the truck but they thought the largest portion of the profits would go to the holder of the patent and the stockholders outside. Herman Stern made a short talk in which he recounted failures in promoting factories on various occasions and cautioned the board to go slow and make certain of its ground. Many questions were fired at the promoters and all were answered satisfactorily. J. D. Lavin made a vigorous speech in favor of the proposition and told of the remarkable development of his home town in Michigan by the establishment of a factory which proved to be the neuclus around which others assembled and increased the population five-fold. Mr. Lavin was loudly applauded and at the close of his address a vote was taken endorsing the proposition, and promising the position presented by Messrs. Brazzolari, Barnes and Innis for the establishment of an auto truck factory here. The object of the special call was to hear and consider a report of the committee appointed at the last regular meeting to make an examination of the books and investigate the financial condition of the company which is seeking a location for its proposed factory. A. A. Mills, Herman Noll and Louis Bushard were members of the committee who went up to Los Angeles and made a thorough investigation of the affairs of the company. The special meeting was called by this committee for the purpose of laying the result of their investigation before the board. Messrs. Mills and Noll made a complete examination of the books and issued a report to the board as follows: In the matter of the Hydraulic Truck Company factory, a majority of the committee called on the truck people and submit the following report: The Hydraulic Truck Company was organized in October, 1913, and purchased, by reorganization, from the Hydraulic Auto Truck Company, of Los Angeles, the license to manufacture the Manley truck, along with other assets as follows: License and promotion $229,400 Property at Colton 6,000 Two trucks 12,000 Furniture 600 Deposits on advance royalties 2,000 Total assets $250,000 This was paid for with: Stock $240,000 Indebtedness 10,000 Total $250,000 Of these items the Manley interests get in Stock $109,000 Others in stock 131,000 Property in Colton is three acres, paid for in stock, $6,000. The $10,000 must be paid in cash out of a proposed sale of 100,000 shares of stock. The company begins business by opening their books as follows: Hydraulic Truck Company Capital stock $1,000,000 Treasury stock $1,000,000 License and plant $250,000 Treasury stock $240,000 Hydraulic A.-T. Co. 10,000 Cash stock, sales $1,425 Hydraulic A.-T. Co. $1,217.50 Commission account. 207.50 This shows that 1,425 shares of the proposed 100,000 have been sold at par and commission paid on the same of $207.50, and the balance $1,217.50 paid to the Hydraulic Auto Truck Company, leaving a balance of $8,782.50 due them in cash. Of the 241,425 shares of stock now issued the holders are as follows: Manley interests 109,000 T. McFadden 12,000 W. E. Barnes 11,000 L. Cruckshank 8,000 One of the demonstration cars built by the company and operating under the Manley patent was on the street Monday. There is no question that this company owns one of the finest trucks in the world and if the capitalists of Anaheim and the promoters can agree on terms the factory will prove to be a valuable acquisition to the industries of Orange county. The promoters have already booked orders for 86 trucks, most of them coming from the mining section of Arizona where the car was demonstrated after being first assembled. The transmission patent is owned by Mr. Manley, who receives a block of stock in the company. It is claimed that only two other companies—the La France and the Remington, can use the Manley patent. The car was demonstrated on the streets of Anaheim Monday and proved to be all the owners claim for it. The cost will range from $2,500 to $5,500. The profits on the orders already booked, it is claimed, will amount to at least $150,000. One of the objections raised at the meeting was the statement in the report that of the $2,000 profit on each machine $1,250 was paid out as commission, leaving $750 to the company. Mrs. Frohling still certificate issued by Vineyard Society, and exhibited a Monday showing them on the stock.

By five years the output could be doubled, making 100 trucks. At least 50 of these could be sold at the factory. Net profits on 100 trucks ... $75,000 Com. on 50 trucks ... 62,500 Total ... $137,500 This makes over 39 per cent on $350,000. By selling 100,000 more shares of stock 200 trucks per year could be made and at least 50 of these could be sold at the factory. Net profits on 200 trucks ... $150,000 Com. on 50 trucks ... 62,500 Total ... $212,500 The car was demonstrated on the streets of Anaheim Monday and proved to be all the owners claim for it.

One of the objections raised at the meeting was the statement in the report that of the $2,000 profit on each machine $1,250 was paid out as commission, leaving $750 to the company. PARENT TEACHERS HOLD A MEETING Orange County Federation Have Session Saturday, January 10 The Orange County Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations will hold an all-day meeting on Saturday, January 10, 1914, in the Loara school house in West Anaheim. The meeting will be called to order at 10 o'clock A.M. The morning will be devoted to business and hearing the reports of the various associations of the county. In the afternoon an excellent program will be rendered, and several able speakers will be present, among them Mrs. Longnecker of San Diego, who will speak on "Vocational Training." A basket luncheon will be served at noon. All members of the various associations in the county are earnestly requested to attend this meeting, also all others interested in the education and welfare of children will be most cordially welcomed. Rev. David Todd Gillmor and wife attended the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena on New Year's day. Mrs. Frohling still certificate issued by Vineyard Society, and exhibited a new Monday showing them on the stock.

FROHLING SHOWS RELICS OF THE PAST DISPLAYS RECEIPTS FOR ASSESSMENTS PAID TO LOS ANGELES VINEYARD SOCIETY IN 1857 SHE IS A LARGE STOCKHOLDER IN WATER COMPANY—OPPOSES SEPARATION Mrs. C. Frohling, who is one of the few remaining pioneer residents of the Mother Colony, was in town on Monday, accompanied by her son, John Eymann, and in conversation with friends, recounted many interesting incidents in the early history of this section. Mrs. Frohling came to Anaheim from San Francisco with her parents in 1859, coming by steamer to Wilmington, and thence overland by stage to this city. She was married here November 24, 1859, her husband being treasurer of the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, which formed the colony. The wedding was solemnized in the adobe building on West Center street, now upon the La Habra reservoir site, she opposes the schemes of separatists to turn the company over to advancement of their private schemes. OFFICER GERMANN GETS HELD UP But the Thug Made a Mistake In His Man While Phil Germann was nosing around in an alley just off Los Angeles street Saturday hunting for trouble a Mexican stepped out of the darkness and shoved the muzzle of a gun in his face. Instead of throwing up his hands as requested Phil grabbed the revolver, knocked the man down with it and then led him off to the city bastile. The fellow, it appears, didn't know he was attempting to hold up a member of the Anaheim police force. Phil was searching for the man who stabbed Gonzales when he ran into the belligerent Mexican. After knocking him down he dragged him into the street and hand-cuffed his arms around a telephone pole. He was unconscious but Phil did not want to take chances on his recovering and making his escape, while he was seeking some means of transporting him to the jail. He was there on his return but had re- BLACKMAILER IS SPEEDILY CAUGHT JOSEPH KELLER DEMANDED $22 FROM THE JERSEY DAIRY AND CUT DRIVER'S HARNESS ALSO THREATENED TO BLOW UP CITY MARSHAL KELLENBERGER'S HOME The "get-rich-quick" idea which obsessed the mind of Joseph Keller who blew into town last week has landed him in jail, and he is not only slated to appear in the courts of the state for committing a misdemeanor and for attempted blackmail but must also answer to the United States court for illegal use of the postal service. Keller is undoubtedly unbalanced in his mind. He wrote several letters to Boyd Webster of the Jersey dairy, demanding that $22 be left at a designated place, the penalty of failure to comply being the destruction of the house of the Websters by fire and the death of all the dairy cows. On New Year's day, accompanied by her son, John Eymann, and in conversation with friends, recounted many interesting incidents in the early history of this section. Mrs. Frohling came to Anaheim from San Francisco with her parents in 1859, coming by steamer to Wilmington, and thence overland by stage to this city. She was married here November 24, 1859, her husband being treasurer of the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, which formed the colony. The wedding was solemnized in the adobe building on West Center street, now owned by John Casson, the structure being at that time one of the imposing edifices of Southern California. Her wedding was a notable social function and was the first to occur in the newly-established Mother Colony. More than 250 guests were present, and an elaborate wedding feast was prepared and brought down from Los Angeles. She has continued to reside in this city ever since, and is held in high esteem by the entire community. She is a large stockholder in the Anaheim Union Water Company, and in common with the large majority of shareholders throughout the district, opposes separation of oil from water stock, as well as the sale of 4,000 shares of treasury stock at $50 per share. In 1859, when but a young girl, she landed in company of her parents at Wilmington, having embarked in a ship at San Francisco. Anaheim, the Mother Colony, was the destination of the family, and they found it a desert waste. Little had been done toward cultivation and reclamation at that date as the population was small and the resources undeveloped. Rattle snakes and other undesirable denizens of the desert country were numerous here at the time, and the prospect to the newcomers was uninviting. Probably no person in this vicinity now living has witnessed the development Mrs. Frohling has seen. The desert, peopled by snakes and lizards, has been transferred into valuable orange and walnut groves, yielding fortunes to the owners and supplying luscious fruit and toothsome nuts to all America. Mrs. Frohling still has the original certificate issued by the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, and held by her family, and exhibited a number of receipts Monday showing the assessment paid on the stock. The number of the certificate was 46 and the first receipt was dated August 15, 1857, the second November 12, 1857, the third January 10, 1858, the fourth February 28, 1858. She has many other receipts showing assessments paid in early days. In one year assessments upon her family up a member of the Anaheim police force. Phil was searching for the man who stabbed Gonzales when he ran into the belligerent Mexican. After knocking him down he dragged him into the street and hand-cuffed his arms around a telephone pole. He was unconscious but Phil did not want to take chances on his recovering and making his escape, while he was seeking some means of transporting him to the jail. He was there on his return but had recovered his equilibrium and was standing up embracing the pole. He gave his name as Rivera. His preliminary arraignment was held before Judge Howard Tuesday, Deputy District Attorney Koepsel being on hand to prosecute the case. His trial was set for today and he was placed under $1,000 bonds which he failed to give. It is not positively known that he is the man who stabbed Gonzales, but it is believed so. FAREWELL DINNER TO MR. AND MRS. HARTUNG Friends Bid Them God-speed at Home of Son New Year's Day Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Hartung gave what was designated a farewell dinner to Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung at their beautiful home on North Los Angeles street New Year's day. It is hardly proper to call it a farewell gathering as all parties hope to again meet around the festive board. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung, Mr. and Mrs. S. Lybarger, parents of Mrs. E. J. Hartung, and Kenyon Lybarger, besides the host and hostess. On January 25th Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung start on their contemplated trip around the world and the object of the assembly of friends was to wish them God-speed, a pleasant journey and a safe return home. Mrs. Hartung, the hostess, had decorated the house in a red and green scheme. Genuine European holly, imported from the East, was mingled with California ferns and poinsettas. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung will leave for San Francisco on the 25th. On the 27th they will sail on the Japanese liner, "Chiyo Maru." They will stop at Honolulu, and will spend a stated period in Japan, China, India, Egypt, etc., and will land in Europe from a P. & O. steamer at either Naples or Gibraltar. Then they will make a leisurely journey and spend as much time at each of the places visited as the attractions demand. August is fixed as Keller is undoubtedly unbalanced in his mind. He wrote several letters to Boyd Webster of the Jersey dairy, demanding that $22 be left at a designated place, the penalty of failure to comply being the destruction of the house of the Websters by fire and the death of all the dairy cows. On New Year's night Webster found his horse, which he had left hitched on Center street, shifted a block away and discovered that the harness had been cut into bits, completely destroying it. This he stated in a subsequent letter received Friday, was the work of his hand, and was a gentle reminder to the dairy people that he was capable of carrying out his threats and lay waste to the dairy farm. The letter received by City Marshal Kellenberger was also threatening but not of a blackmailing nature. The letter was written in German and directed to the "City Patrol Marshal." Whether it was intended for Kellenberger or one of his deputies is not known but of course it was delivered to him by the postoffice. In the letter he stated that it was his intention to blow up the officer's house with dynamite at 8 o'clock that night. At the time the harness was cut a bottle or two of milk and a number of milk tickets were taken from the wagon. After his arrest an empty milk bottle and a number of the tickets were found in his room at the Windsor rooming house. He claimed that these articles had been left by the former occupant of the room. New Year's night it was reported to the officers that two other sets of harness on teams hitched to rigs standing on the public streets had been entirely destroyed by being cut into pieces. Night Officers Sackett and Iman saw him at work on one of these jobs but he made his escape by mingling with the crowd on the sidewalk. They were unable to apprehend him as a clear view of him had not been secured. The police secured as good a description of the man as was possible and began a search for him. Friday evening Phil Germann noticed a fellow going into a restaurant on Center street whose appearance answered the description he had formed to a certain extent. He follwed him in and after making an inspection of the man decided to take chances and put him under arrest. On searching him and searching his room over the Lemon street livery stable where he resided plenty of evidence connecting him Mrs. Frohling still has the original certificate issued by the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, and held by her family, and exhibited a number of receipts Monday showing the assessment paid on the stock. The number of the certificate was 46 and the first receipt was dated August 15, 1857, the second November 12, 1857, the third January 10, 1858, the fourth February 28, 1858. She has many other receipts showing assessments paid in early days. In one year assessments upon her family stock amounted to $9 per share. There are few persons now living who have witnessed so much of the development and progress of Anaheim as has Mrs. Frohling. She came here 54 years ago, a young girl, when Anaheim was but a cluster of vineyards and the surrounding country was a sandy waste. There were no railroads, no highways, no towns, no Orange county. Los Angeles was an adobe village surrounding the mission, and there was a small wharf on the beach where vessels could unload. Notwithstanding that she was here at the birth or in its infancy and has seen the Southland develop from a desert waste, overgrown with cactus, into the garden spot of the world, Mrs. Frohling is still hale and hearty and will probably live to see many more advancements in this, the land which she has helped to develop. Mrs. Frohling is a stockholder in the Anaheim Union Water Company, and is unalterably opposed to segregation. She is also opposed to the issuance of 4,000 shares of treasury stock now held by the company, which separatists seek to place upon the market at $50 per share. She has paid assessments upon her stock for many years, and now that the company has become affluent through the discovery of oil ported from the East, was mingled with California ferns and poinsettias. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung will leave for San Francisco on the 25th. On the 27th they will sail on the Japanese liner, "Chiyo Maru." They will stop at Honolulu, and will spend a stated period in Japan, China, India, Egypt, etc., and will land in Europe from a P. & O. steamer at either Naples or Gibraltar. Then they will make a leisurely journey and spend as much time at each of the places visited as the attractions demand. August is fixed as the month of their return, but as Mr. Hartung wants to spend considerable time in Germany, the land of his nativity, and Mrs. Hartung wants to see all of France, the home of her ancestors, and both of them want to see England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, it is probable the journey will be prolonged and may last a year. THE EBELL CLUB A very interesting meeting of the Ebell Society of Anaheim was held last Saturday, January 3, at Odd Fellows' hall. Although the day was cloudy, there was a good attendance. Reports were given by the delegates to the San Diego convention. Mrs. Ida Dutton gave a very good account of the whole convention. Mrs. E. C. Chamberlain talked about what was being done by the individual clubs throughout Southern California. Such interesting topics as the abolishing of bill boards, the establishing of rest rooms and clean-up days were discussed. The subject of a rest-room in the business part of Anaheim was especially dwelt upon. Mrs. Grim and Mrs. Tipton also spoke interestingly upon topics pertaining to the convention. At the close of the meeting refreshments of home-made cake and coffee were enjoyed. The police secured as good a description of the man as was possible and began a search for him. Friday evening Phil Germann noticed a fellow going into a restaurant on Center street whose appearance answered the description he had formed to a certain extent. He followed him in and after making an inspection of the man decided to take chances and put him under arrest. On searching him and searching his room over the Lemon street livery stable where he resided plenty of evidence connecting him with the blackmailing was discovered. The pencil with which he directed the letters, some of the milk tickets and a couple of empty milk bottles were found. He had written the letters with a crayon which was found in his pocket. The blackmailing letters mailed Friday were addressed in Casson's saloon. He was observed and identified after his arrest. Keller claimed that he found the incriminating articles on the writing table at the postoffice. Keller was examined Saturday afternoon by Marshal Kellenberger and Postoffice Inspector C. D. Low. The blackmailing letters which he had written to Webster and Kellenberger were produced and his handwriting compared. There was little question as to his guilt and he was retained in the city jail pending further action. He steadfastly denied the charges notwithstanding the charges and the incriminating evidence. In addition to the pencil, the milk bottles and the tickets, the stationer who sold him the paper on which the blackmailing letters were written, identified him during his examination. It is supposed that the man is mentally deranged. Keller has later made a full confession and acknowledges that the ZETTE 1914 NUMBER 15 MILER, IS DAILY NIGHT DEMANDED $22 EY DAIRY AND HARNESS ED TO BLOW UP THE KELLENBER-HOME idea which obJoseph Keller who a week has landed his not only slated parts of the state for meanor and for at-out must also an-States court for il-lal service. daily unbalanced in several letters to Jersey dairy, left at a designat-ion of failure to com-ction of the house fire and the death loss. On New Year's charges against him are all true. On Sunday after undergoing a sweating by Postoffice Inspector Low, Postmaster Duckworth and City Marshal Kellenberger, he confessed to having written the threatening letters but denied that he was guilty of cutting the harness. Yesterday, however, he came to the conclusion that further denial was useless as evidence had been piled up against him, and made a full confession. He says he was not only guilty of writing the letters demanding $22 from the Websters and threatening to dynamite Marshal Kellenberger's house, but was also the party who cut the Webster harness. The only excuse given by Keller for his action is that he was intoxicated to such an extent that he was not responsible. This statement, of course, will not save him from paying the penalty for his foolishness. Keller speaks with a broken accent and it is difficult to understand his English. A. A.

MILLS IN SARCASTIC MOOD Suggests That Auto Owners Be Taxed One Cent Per Year A. A. Mills of this city has written the following letter to the Board of Supervisors of Orange county, in reference to imposing a tax on automobiles for lighting the state highway: Attached find letter of Automobile Club of Southern California, which the county clerk forwarded to me. In reference to this lighting of the state highway the letter says: "This is a very worthy project, and we would be glad to assist you in every way possible to accomplish this end." In all meekness I beg to suggest that you impose a tax of one (1) cent a year on every automobile that uses the state highway "to assist... to accomplish this end." I am moved to offer this suggestion on account of the strenuous efforts now being put forth by this automobile club, "to assist" in the upkeep of the good roads of the state, as evidenced by the howl they are putting up over a just, equitable and necessary tax on motor driven machines. These people have been urging and pushing good roads everywhere and now the roads are being completed they are probably using them a thousand miles where other vehicles use them one mile. Aside from this they save in tires and other repairs ten times what the state tax costs them. Moreover the greater part of this tax comes on luxury. I should worry. Again, let me urge that you put on the one (1) cent tax and see the pikers take to the tall timber, leaving the hoary handed sons of toil to pay for the lighting as for the roads themselves. Humbly submitted, A. A. MILLS. FALSE REGISTRATION CASES CONTINUED January 8 Set For Date of Hearing by the Judge Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland, J. C. Bourne and W. W. Walker were arraigned before Judge West, Friday charged with illegal registration. Habeas corpus proceedings were ingressive, bright paper, take the liberty of asking for space to "rush into print," through the wish to champion the cause of the obscure little town of Buena Park. Now, in the beginning, I want it understood that I, as a resident of Southern California, am proud of the progress being made by any of the towns in the state, particularly in this vicinity, but we do want it made known that Buena Park lies at the very door of the wonderful oil field recently opened on the Emery ranch. Emery No. 7, that wonderful well which continues to spout from 11,000 to 12,000 barrels of high gravity oil ever since it was brought in, about two months ago, is about one mile directly north of the Park, and all mail and local supplies for the Standard Oil holdings on the Emery and Murphy leases are distributed from Buena Park. Still, in speaking or writing about this truly wonderful well, considered, I believe, as the best in the State of California, all unite in speaking of the Whittier-Fullerton oil field, forgetting to add that it lies at the very door of Buena Park. Now, this is not fair treatment for little Buena Park, and I am appealing to your columns to set this matter straight, feeling sure that your sense of justice will help me out, in my endeavor to call attention to the fact that we belong in the Whittier-Fullerton field, as there have been numerous indications of oil in several places in and about the Park. Some three years ago when the 1,000 foot 12-inch well was sunk on the Durgan ranch ½ mile south of town, splendid specimens of sandstone and shale were found below the 900-foot level, and the tools were blown out of the well on the Hardin ranch nearby, presumably by an explosion of gas. Had these things occurred at Fullerton or Anaheim, it would have appeared in print very speedily; but the people of this little "burg" are entirely too modest, as this is the first time these facts have been mentioned. I have also failed to see any mention made of the fact that C. L. McComber, one of our most respected citizens, on or about November 20th, leased 100 acres of his ranch, lying three-quarters of a mile directly north of the Park, to a syndicate of bankers, rumor says the Rothschilds, who are obligated to begin sinking for oil inside of 90 days. Is not this another convincing proof that Buena Park is strictly in it? Every house in the Park is filled to overflowing. One little woman, with a house too small to furnish sleeping accommodations to lodgers has 20 day FALSE REGISTRATION CASES CONTINUED January 8 Set For Date of Hearing by the Judge Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland, J. C. Bourne and W. W. Walker were arraigned before Judge West, Friday charged with illegal registration. Habeas corpus proceedings were instituted by Attorneys Williams and Rutan for the minister, who was held to answer for trial in the Superior Court. So the proceedings might be brought, Rev. Sutherland came in and gave himself up to Sheriff Ruddock. For several hours the minister was in custody. However, he was not placed in jail, but remained in the sheriff's office in charge of Miss Nellie Bacon, office deputy. At 2 o'clock the hearing was had, but Judge West continued the case until January 8. Rev. Sutherland then renewed his $500 bond. J. C. Bourne and W. W. Walker, represented by Attorney H. C. Head, asked for dismissal of their cases. Their contention is that while they registered before they had been in the state a year it is allowable provided the year is up before the next general election. The minister's contention is that there was no intent on his part to get upon the great register illegally. It is also contended that he was really a citizen. Last July he was granted naturalization papers. Four days later it was found that a mistake was made and his papers were cancelled without notice to him until after cancellation was made. His attorneys assert that a man cannot be deprived of citizenship without due notice being given him. Every house in the Park is filled to overflowing. One little woman, with a house too small to furnish sleeping accommodations to lodgers has 20 day boarders. The hotel is running over full and several men are sleeping in the barn. I understand that some 10 or 15 cottages are to be built in the early spring and that a large apartment house and a larger hotel are among the probabilities. I could tell quite a few more good things about the Park, but will not do so at this time. A SUBSCRIBER. JANUARY TO BE WET Father Ricard's long-range weather forecast for January predicts continued wet weather for the entire Pacific Coast, and storm periods occurring as follows: January 2-6, 9-12, 15-19, 22-26, 28, February 1, 4-7. Intermediate dates for new storms, January 4, 10, 17, 24, 30. "By no manner of means expect rain from every storm," writes Father Ricard, "and never think the territory we cover is a strip of land 200 miles wide from San Francisco across the Santa Clara Valley." Our territory is the whole Pacific Coast." A comparison of the forecast for December and the records of the weather bureau shows he continues, that they coincide exactly with the single exception of the storm predicted for December 10, which arrived December 11.
