SEPARATISTS ARE DEFEATED AT MEETING MR. CHAPMAN'S MOTION FOR SEGREGATION TABLED BY DECISIVE MAJORITY OLD BOARD ELECTS FIVE DIRECTORS, AND WILL CONTROL DESTINIES OF COMPANY Segregation of oil and water stock was for the third time voted down by the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company at the annual meeting Saturday by a decisive majority. The question was not presented squarely to the hundreds of stockholders present, either in person or by proxy, but the test vote was taken on a motion made by C. C. Chapman, the chief exponent of segregation to appoint a committee of seven to make a thorough investigation of the matter to be called three or four months hence. The meeting was more harmonious than had been anticipated, the first jarring expressions coming from Clarence McFadden, who took exceptions to a joking remark of President Crowtheir and turned loose some of the thoughts that had accumulated in his mind. His language was lurid and ex- approval or rejection. Also one or more plans for the formation of a company to take over the oil interests shall be submitted. The committee is to incur such expense as may be necessary in making its investigations." In presenting his resolution Mr. Chapman made a short talk in its advocacy. He stated that it would be the last time he would ask the stockholders to hear him on the subject. He said the question confronting the company of separating the oil and water was bound to be settled now or at a later period. "I think I voice the sentiment of all," he said, "when I say that we want this question thoroughly investigated. A great many of the stockholders have formed an opinion upon this question on only partial information. I have studied the question considerably but have not yet received all the information I want. Let this committee be appointed to make a thorough investigation and report its findings. We will then have something definite to act upon and can act intelligently. I have no scheme for purchasing oil stock. I will not buy any of it. My object now is to have an intelligent report on the advisibility of a division of the oil and water presented to this board." When Mr. Chapman referred to Christopher Columbus as furnishing an example of achievement by investigation, President Crowther made a vigorous kick and requested him to confine himself to the business of the water company and not wander back into medieval history. On motion of B. F. Porter that the matter be laid on the table, the chair called for a vive voce vote. Attorney Keech carefully explained that in voting on the proposition yes meant no question was not presented squarely to the hundreds of stockholders present, either in person or by proxy, but the test vote taken on a motion made by C. C. Chapman, the chief exponent of segregation to appoint a committee of seven to make a thorough investigation of the matter to be called three or four months hence. The meeting was more harmonious than had been anticipated, the first jarring expressions coming from Clarence McFadden, who took exceptions to a joking remark of President Crowther and turned loose some of the thoughts that had accumulated in his mind. His language was lurid and expressed the opinion of the segregationists in no uncertain terms. While the separatists were defeated by a majority of votes they gained another member of the board of directors. Dr. W. Harold Wickett, son-in-law of C. C. Chapman, was elected, as was also G. W. Sherwood, the only member on the former board favoring segregation. The old board was re-elected with the exception of A. S. Bradford and C. E. Holcomb, who were not candidates, and were succeeded by Wickett and McFadden. Although three hundred stockholders were present most of the vote was cast by proxies. Many of the men present had delivered their proxies to others and were mere spectators except when a vive voce vote was taken. The heaviest holders of proxies and the votes they controlled aside from their own, were as follows: J. J. Dwyer ... 794 C. C. Chapman ... 217 G. W. Sherwood ... 376 William Crowther ... 814 Herman Stern ... 300 W. H. Wickett ... 391 Tom McFadden also had a list in his pocket that footed up into the hundreds, and several others were carrying large blocks of votes. The proxy committee was at work several hours before completing and verifying the list turned in by S. C. Hartranft and Otto des Granges, the tellers, and finally reported 5256.2 proxies reported out of a total vote of 8004. The proxy committee consisted of Arthur Staley, Geo. Treher, Otto des Granges, J. J. Schneider, O. A. Blattner, and S. S. Twombly. The committee got to work at 11 o'clock but it was three hours after noon before Chairman Staley was able to make his report. The interval was occupied chiefly by H. Clay Kellogg in an interesting talk on the Santa Ana river, its past history and future possibilities. H. H. Hale, the Boanerges of the company, also explained some things in answer to an inquiring stockholder. Mr. Hale had decided not to stand for re-election on the board but before the meeting assembled in the morning his friends over-ruled his objections and he shied his castor in the ring and was re-elected. In response to a demand by E. I. Ames that the board of directors issue an advance budget of the expenses during the coming year, G. W. Sherwood stated that all the extra expense in sight at present was the installation of a pumping plant, cost $7,000, and the piping of a section of the north branch ditch, the cost of which would be $500. The total expenditures for the year would be probably $50,000. On motion of B. F. Porter that the matter be laid on the table, the chair called for a vive voce vote. Attorney Keech carefully explained that in voting on the proposition yes meant no and no meant yes as the proposition was to squelch future action on segregation by laying the matter on the table. Notwithstanding this many stockholders corrected their votes after announcing them. The total vote cast was 7335, those favoring squelching the proposition having a majority of 607 of the shares. An item in the auditing committee's report showing that the automobile of the superintendent had cost the company more than $1,100 in repairs during the past year and was worth now only $125, caused Mr. Ames to suggest that a new machine be purchased for him as a matter of economy. Mr. Ames recommended a Buick as the best car for the service. Another member objected to that car and recommended a Ford and still another thought the Studebaker was the only car that could stand on Orange county roads. The matter was turned over to the board of directors after much discussion and Superintendent McFadden will be permitted to select his own favorite car. The only stipulation was that he refrain from carrying freight, such as sacks of cement and iron pipe in it, and confine his speed to something less than 90 miles per hour when he is traveling on the roads of Orange county. It was getting late in the evening when the election of a new board of directors was reached. As seven members, the entire board, was to be elected, Attorney Keech explained that each stockholder or holder of proxies would be permitted to multiply his shares by seven and vote seven times for each share. He could cast all his votes for one man or could divide them between the several candidates. When the election was announced B. F. Porter moved that the old board of directors be elected by a vive voce vote of the stockholders present. Chairman Crowther put the question, calling for an aye vote and as it appeared to be a majority he turned to Secretary Wallop with the remark that it was not necessary to call for a negative vote as the motion had undoubtedly carried. It was merely a joke but the separatists took it seriously and a storm of nos was turned loose. Half a dozen men were on their feet immediately clamoring for recognition. The chair recognized Clarence McFadden, who proceeded to express the sentiments of the separatists in a forceful manner. He said that this was high-handed proceedings and should not be permitted. The stockholders should not allow a few men to over-rule the will of the body. It was awful to think of such a proceeding and the ring should be present time. Never have more bountiful crop than being gathered and shaken Eastern markets by two houses. The orchards are who are picking the gold many cars are being shaken by the packers. There are many splendrances in the vicinity of one of the best is the Hall on Placentia avenue, New town. This is a small set was known in earlier days; kerk ranch. This ranch or several hundred acres in was subdivided and sold out consists of 43½ acres. They came into the possession or daughter of the original couple of years ago it Walter S. Halliwell, of at one of the highest figures corded for ranch property. Mr. Halliwell paid the place. This was at the 900 per acre, which is one est prices ever paid for raft but the profits have amply investment. Not with heavy frost of last year wrecked the hopes of many various sections of the S Halliwell received for his which was an exceedingly est on the investment and although prices are not yet will realize more than $200 crop. One-fourth of the range by young trees which have gun to bear fruit with tion of a few scattered spec bearing trees in the orchard divided between navel and St. Mikes and sweet out the entire orchard of 4 is not a diseased or stunt are in perfect health and heavily laden with them that Mr Halliwell had wires put in to hold up wnd prevent them from brazing weight of their own Mr Halliwell cut off a smil was bending under the we magnificent oranges. They ured 12 inches in circumf te twig which gave them not more than an eighth diameter. There are for trees in the big orchard and trees will yield from five to per tree this season.Mo teen thousand boxes will gather from the trees. Mr Halliwell is a me Anaheim Fruit Association company now has a force or orchard gathering there will probably finish picking. The twenty acres of V St. Michaels have taken color but have not yet any growth. They will not reurturity stage for several mo trees are as heavily laden trees and it will be neces thm to prevent destruction when the oranges develop dimensions. Mr Halliwell was former City business man.Having competence he decided to souri and move to Southern After arriving in Los Angeles cluded to engage in some Mr. Hale had decided not to stand for re-election on the board but before the meeting assembled in the morning his friends over-ruled his objections and he shied his castor in the ring and was re-elected. In response to a demand by E. I. Ames that the board of directors issue an advance budget of the expenses during the coming year, G. W. Sherwood stated that all the extra expense in sight at present was the installation of a pumping plant, cost $7,000, and the piping of a section of the north branch ditch, the cost of which would be $500. The total expenditures for the year would be probably $50,000. H. H. Hale then took the floor in answer to the motion of Mr. Ames and said the board of directors during the past year had deemed it advisable to push improvements to the highest point and to furnish water to save the crops of the members. "If the board had not done this," he said, "the members would not dare face you today." No board of directors, he said, can tell what the budget for the coming year will be. We can approximate perhaps, but it would be impossible to make an accurate estimate. Not many stockholders are aware that we have a tract of land at the headwaters of the river. We have wells there flowing last year that never flowed before. We have raised the water plain there six feet before the rain. Large syndicates are being formed to gobble up all the water, therefore we must maintain our own. The State of California realizes this and tells us we must claim our rights. C. C. Chapman's resolution for the appointment of a committee to investigate segregation was the pivotal point on which the separatists and standpatters clashed. The resolution is as follows: "It is moved that a committee of seven be appointed by the stockholders to investigate the feasibility and legality of separating the oil interests of this company from the water interests, and to make a report of its findings to an adjourned meeting to be held at 10 o'clock Saturday, May 23. Should said committee find it feasible and legal to make such separation it is to submit its recommendation to the stockholders at said adjourned meeting for their lop with the remark that it was not necessary to call for a negative vote as the motion had undoubtedly carried. It was merely a joke but the separatists took it seriously and a storm of nos was turned loose. Half a dozen men were on their feet immediately clamoring for recognition. The chair recognized Clarence McFadden, who proceeded to express the sentiments of the-separatists in a forceful manner. He said that this was high-handed proceedings and should not be permitted. The stockholders should not allow a few men to over-rule the will of the body. It was awful to think of such a proceeding and the ring should be busted. There were many other lurid expressions in his speech but when he referred to Attorney Keech as drawing $2,500 a year for giving advice to the dominant ring that gentleman sprang to his feet and requested him to back up. "It is true," said Keech, "that I receive a salary of $2,500 per year from this company. I am here to interpret points of law and assist the directors and stockholders in such questions as may come up to the best of my ability. I have no interest in your factional differences and you will please keep my name out of this discussion." McFadden then submitted a list of nominations for directors and demanded a stock vote. A majority of the stockholders had gone home at that time but all who left gave proxies to those who remained. Eight names were on the list, the seven highest to be members of the board for the coming year. The vote resulted as follows: H. H. Hale... 7146 Wm. Crowther... 6866 J. J. Dwyer... 6872 Frank Morse... 3899 E. E. Beazley... 6807 T. L. McFadden... 7054 W. H. Wickett... 6342 G. W. Sherwood... 6553 There were some fractions attached to some of these votes but as the majorities are so pronounced it is not necessary to record them. Tom McFadden and W. H. Wickett are the new members, taking the places of A. S. Bradford and C. E. Holcomb. Wickett is a segregationist and McFadden is opposed to the question. The twenty acres of Vt St. Michaels have taken off color but have not yet acquired growth. They will not require turity stage for several moons trees are as heavily laden trees and it will be necessary them to prevent destruction when the oranges develop dimensions. Mr. Halliwell was formed City business man. Having competence he decided to souri and move to Southern After arriving in Los Angeles included to engage in some that would keep him busy overworking him, conserve came down into the frost purchase an orange rancher ranch was for sale and fancy but he thought $1300 stiff price to pay for 43 ever he dug up the coin and session and results have determined that the price was not Eighteen thousand dollars profit on his first years' end this season it will exceed thousand. Moreover there acres of 4-year-old trees on which will begin yielding an vest next year. The 30 acres trees are just in their primaries. The Halliwell ranch, however, the only one which boasts season this year. Manager of the Fruit Association, she orchards in this vicinity making the heaviest crop even the fruit will grade perfect Mr. Sandilands thinks they will all be shipped by March, then the St. Mikes sweets will be taken care of lencias will follow and it will be the end of October before er crop is picked, packed on to the dealers in the East. Three hundred and five association's estimate of will handle this year, 15 probably be shipped by other making the number sent him 450 cars. This is greater than last year's quality is much better. The prices received thougth much lower than that of A great deal of damaged GOLDEN FRUIT IS MENACING THE TREES CROP OF ORANGES IN THE HALLIWELL ORCHARD GREATEST EVER GATHERED TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IS THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE YIELD FROM 30 ACRES Never before have the orange orchards of Anaheim and its immediate vicinity presented a more beautiful and prosperous appearance than at the present time. Never has there been a more bountiful crop than the one now being gathered and shipped to the Eastern markets by the packing houses. The orchards are full of men who are picking the golden fruit and many cars are being shipped out by one packers. There are many splendid orange ranches in the vicinity of Anaheim, but one of the best is the Halliwell ranch on Placentia avenue, northeast of town. This is a small section of what was known in earlier days as the Parker ranch. This ranch originally was several hundred acres in extent but it was subdivided and sold off and it now shipped from the frost-bitten sections, consequently California oranges are looked upon with suspicion and it will be necessary to again acquire a reputation before holding our own in competition with Florida. When the Valencia crop is shipped, however, there will be no competition and California will regain her reputation for raising the best oranges in the world. Mr. Sandilands states that the navels are giving way to the Valencis and in a few years the navels will entirely disappear from this section. When the California Valenclas reach the Eastern markets there is no competition as the Florida crop is exhausted, consequently they command a much higher price than the navels which must compete with the Eastern fruit. There is also some importation from Porto Rico, Jamaica and Mexico but they cut little figure in the price regulations. Mr. Sandilands thinks the navels will eventually be eliminated from this region and the Valenclas substituted, as they yield a much greater profit to the grower. The Fruit Association's packing house employs 18 persons in the building this year, besides a gang of pickers on the outside. All the fruit packed is picked by the association as they can better regulate the supply received at the house and thus prevent overcrowding. EVERYONE MUST REGISTER AGAIN FACTS REGARDING BROWNE'S BIG CHARGE SUPERVISORS VOTE TO ALLOW HIS CLAIM FOR $447.75 SCHUMACHER AND LECK REFUSE TO VOTE FOR PAYMENT OF CLAIM By a vote of three to two, the Supervisors on Tuesday afternoon of last week, allowed the bill of Samuel L. Browne for $447.75, detective services at Anaheim during the recent "wet or dry" election, Supervisors Leck and Schumacher voting in the negative. When the matter came up Clerk Williams read two petitions protesting against the payment of the bill on the ground that it was not a legitimate charge upon the county inasmuch as the detectives worked entirely for one side. The petitions were signed by representative men of the county, and would have been much larger had the condition of the roads permitted their wider circulation. Attorney Byron C. Hanna, of Los Angeles, represented the petitioners. Mr. Hanna was formerly legal advisor of EVERYONE MUST REGISTER AGAIN Attorney General Webb Lays Down the Law Regarding Registration In order to be eligible to vote at the city election on April 13, 1914, every qualified voter must have registered between the dates of January 1, 1914, and March 13, 1914. The time is getting short, and it behooves all who wish to assist in selecting the city officials to register immediately. Following are the registration clerks in Anaheim: Mrs. Olga Beebe, Miss Eva Meritt, Miss Hannah Horwitz, Mrs. Chas Halley, Wm. H. Houts, L. B. Weber, E. C. Dutton, and W. A. Collins. If you have not registered since the first of January, 1914, see one of these clerks and have your name placed upon the roll. At the last election there was great confusion regarding the educational qualification of a voter in California. In a full and complete opinion under date of January 21, 1914, Hon. U. S. Webb, the attorney general of California, rules that anyone who had the right to vote on November 6, 1894, i.e., who was of the age of 21 years and had been in the state one year at that time is exempt from the educational qualification. He also rules that in accordance with Section 1 of Article II of the State Constitution as amended on October 10, 1911, any person, male or female, who was 60 years of age or more on October 10, 1911, is entitled to vote even though they may be unable to read or write a word. Registration clerks should specify this execution on the affidavit by changing question 18 to read "I was entitled to vote on November 6, 1894," or "I was more than 60 years of age October 10, 1911," as the case may be. This ruling of the attorney general is very important, and will effectively prevent any of the disgraceful performances in vogue at the recent election under the local option act, where numbers of ladies and gentlemen who were of an age to be legally exempt from the educational qualification were intimidated and forced to lose their franchise rights, even though they were substantial citizens and taxpayers and highly educated in one or more foreign languages. This browbeating was done under cover of an alleged opinion from the district attorney, but all who were 60 years of age or more on October 10, 1911, or who had the right to vote in California on November 6, 1894, may now register and vote without fear of successful interference, as the attorney general is an authority of a somewhat higher nature, and has given his opinion for the guidance of the registration clerks and the people entitled to register. When the matter came up Clerk Williams read two petitions protesting against the payment of the bill on the ground that it was not a legitimate charge upon the county inasmuch as the detectives worked entirely for one side. The petitions were signed by representative men of the county, and would have been much larger had the condition of the roads permitted their wider circulation. Attorney Byron C. Hanna, of Los Angeles, represented the petitioners. Mr. Hanna was formerly legal advisor of the Los Angeles county board of supervisors, and is reputed to be one of the best posted lawyers on such matters in the state. Mr. Hanna took the position that the expense was absolutely unnecessary, as if the district attorney thought illegal registration was in progress the local officers were in much better position to run it down than strangers. In a small town the local officers know every one and could detect any colonized or otherwise illegal voters immediately while strangers would have to take some local resident's word for it, which is exactly what they did—worked entirely with and for one side. The district attorney having at a previous meeting mentioned the three suits to "purge" the register as among the results achieved, Mr. Hanna called attention to the fact that these were all civil actions and the law does not allow the county to pay either side's expenses in a civil suit. This brought the statement from Mr. West that not a dollar on this $447.75 was expended in connection with the civil suits. Mr. Hanna stated that all the district attorney had to show for the money was three felony charges, two of which were dismissed, and the third pleaded technically guilty in consideration of an agreement that no sentence was to be imposed. In his argument for Browne, Attorney R. Y. Williams stated that so far as the negative results in a way of convictions were concerned the idea was not to send any one to the state's prison, but to purge the register, and he believed great good had been accomplished which would last for a long time to come, in that people would hereafter be more careful before they registered. He said the bill was reasonable, and that the reason local officers could not be used was that in a campaign of this kind the feeling was so bitter that every one took sides and if it was left to local officers probably nothing would be done. He stated that he was district attorney when Santa Ana had their "wet or dry" election, and it came to his attention that colonization was being done, whereupon he called up the guilty parties and informed them that if it was not stopped he would prosecute them, after which there was no trouble whatsoever. While he probably did not intend it, this looks like a direct criticism of the course District Attorney West took, as if R. Y. Williams could prevent any fraud in this manner without expense to the county, why could not L. A. West do the same? In his reply Mr. Hanna stated that two years ago the entire register of the city of Los Angeles was purged by the Schumacher voting in the negative.

The twenty acres of Valencias and St. Michaels have taken on the golden color but have not yet attained their growth. They will not reach the maturity stage for several months. These trees are as heavily laden as the navel trees and it will be necessary to wire them to prevent destruction to the trees when the oranges develop to their full dimensions. Mr. Halliwell was formerly a Kansas city business man. Having acquired a competence he decided to leave Missouri and move to Southern California, after arriving in Los Angeles he concluded to engage in some enterprise that would keep him busy without overworking him, consequently he came down into the frostless belt to purchase an orange ranch. The Tuck-ranch was for sale and it suited his fancy but he thought $130,000 a pretty stiff price to pay for 43 acres. However he dug up the coin and took possession and results have demonstrated that the price was not exorbitant. Eighteen thousand dollars was the profit on his first years' crop of fruit and this season it will exceed twenty thousand. Moreover there are ten acres of 4-year-old trees on the ranch which will begin yielding a golden harvest next year. The 30 acres of grown trees are just in their prime. The Halliwell ranch, however, is not the only one which boasts of a record season this year. Manager Sandilands of the Fruit Association, says that all the orchards in this vicinity are yielding the heaviest crop ever grown and the fruit will grade perfect in quality. Mr. Sandilands thinks the navel crop will all be shipped by the end of March, then the St. Mikes, bloods and sweets will be taken care of. The Valencias will follow and it will probably be the end of October before the bumper crop is picked, packed and passed on to the dealers in the East. Three hundred and five cars is the association's estimate of the fruit it will handle this year, 150 cars will probably be shipped by other packers, making the number sent from Anaheim 450 cars. This is 50 per cent greater than last year's crop and the quality is much better. The prices received this year are much lower than that of last season. The great deal of damaged fruit was imidated and forced to lose their franchise rights, even though they were substantial citizens and taxpayers and highly educated in one or more foreign languages. This browbeating was done under cover of an alleged opinion from the district attorney, but all who were 60 years of age or more on October 10, 1911, or who had the right to vote in California on November 6, 1894, may now register and vote without fear of successful interference, as the attorney general is an authority of a somewhat higher nature, and has given his opinion for the guidance of the registration clerks and the people entitled to register. AGED NATIVE PASSES AWAY Jose Yorba Dies at Sanitarium From Stroke of Paralysis Jose Antonio Yorba, who died at the Anaheim Sanitarium Sunday at the age of 74 years, was undoubtedly one of the oldest of the native sons of the Southland or of the entire State of California. Mr. Yorba was born nearly three-quarters of a century ago on the ground where now stands the village of Olive, and his entire life was spent in this region. Mr. Yorba was the son of Don Thomaso Yorba, who was also a native of California, having been born at San Diego 114 years ago. The Yorbas were among the original settlers of California and owned a tract of land extending from this point almost to the Mexican border. Mr. Yorba was stricken with paralysis last week and was taken to the sanitarium for treatment, but owing to his advanced age he was unable to overcome the allment. He leaves a sister, Mrs. J. Smythe, of Los Angeles, formerly a resident of Anaheim; two half sisters, Mrs. Adolph Rimpau of this city, Mrs. L. W. Kirby, of Los Angeles; and three half brothers, Garibaldo Carillo, of Santa Ana, C. Carrillo and R. Carrillo, Capistrano. The funeral was held at St. Boniface church Monday morning. Six of his nephews acted as pallbearers. Ana had their "wet or dry" election, and it came to his attention that colonization was being done, whereupon he called up the guilty parties and informed them that if it was not stopped he would prosecute them, after which there was no trouble whatsoever. While he probably did not intend it, this looks like a direct criticism of the course District Attorney West took, as if R. Y. Williams could prevent any fraud in this manner without expense to the county, why could not L. A. West do the same? In his reply Mr. Hanna stated that two years ago the entire register of the city of Los Angeles was purged by the city police without a dollars' worth of extra expense, and the same course could have been pursued in Anaheim. He told the supervisors that they had supervision over the county money, and in order to know where they stood financially the district attorney should secure their approval before contracting for such expense. He said the Los Angeles district attorney expended several hundreds of thousands of dollars some time ago in criminal investigations, every dollar of which was submitted to the board for approval before being contracted for. Mr. West's answer was that as the board's meetings were public this would give advance notice to criminals and so handicap him, but as the board soon after went into secret session to consider the bill the force of this objection was not apparent. This whole transaction has an unwholesome look, and as a matter of record it might be well to give a short history of it: In a speech at his tent at the beginning of the campaign, Assistant Superintendent Young, of the Anti-Saloon League, stated that it always cost them lots of money for detectives and that they had worked this "purging" game in Ventura county. However, they evidently did not succeed in saddling the expense on the county there. Browne's bill starts on September 20 at $6.00 a day and expenses for every day, including Sunday, and some days a charge is made for two men at the same rate. When Browne was present himself he added a charge of $10.00 a day for auto hire. On October 18th a civil action was brought against some 50 people to appear at Santa Ana and show cause why ETTE 1914 NUMBER 19 ARDING BIG GE TO ALLOW FOR BECK REFUSE MAYMENT two, the Supermnoon of last of Samuel L. effective services recent "wet or ors Leck and the negative. up Clerk Willens protesting the bill on the at a legitimate inasmuch as entirely for one were signed by the county, and larger had the permitted their anna, of Los Annetitioners. Mr. legal advisor of their names should not be stricken from the register, and a few days later two more complaints were issued against others. About this time complaints began to be made that two strangers wearing Orange county deputy sheriff stars were making themselves obnoxious, interviewing women during the absence of their husbands and endeavoring to intimidate them. Upon complaining to the sheriff it was learned that the stars had been issued by mistake, Mr. Ruddock stating that he had left two blanks signed for a couple of game wardens, and that during his absence the district attorney had had these two detectives of Sam Browne's deputized by using the blanks left for another purpose. It was absolutely contrary to law to do this, as the parties were not citizens of Orange county, and Mr. Ruddock revoked the appointments. He states that he has been unable to date to secure return of the stars, although he has written the Anti-Saloon League and Mr. Browne both. It is an absolute fact that these two detectives did interview people who were included in the civil cases, and it can be fully proven that by flashing these stars and their intimidating tactics they kept several perfectly legal voters away from the polls on election day. The next move made was the issuance of four felony complaints sworn to by Samuel L. Browne, alleging fraudulent registration. Three of the warrants were served, and on the date set for preliminary examination Mr. Browne was not on hand with his evidence, which naturally raises a doubt as to whether he was waiting to be sure of his money first. When he did appear, he only put on evidence in two K.OF P.HOME MAY BE LOGATED HERE COMMITTE FROM LOS ANGELES LOOKING FOR A SITE VISITS ANAHEIM SUNDAY GENERAL ROYER AND CHIEF OF POLICE SEBASTIAN ACCOMPANIED DELEGATION A project that promises to add another to the institutions of Anaheim was born and partially developed at a meeting, which included a dinner at the Oyster Loaf cafe Sunday. A delegation from Silver Star Lodge, No. 312, Knights of Pythias, of Los Angeles, accompanied by a couple of ladies, came down to investigate a site that had been offered for the establishment of a home for the widows and orphans of members of the Knights of Pythias of California, also a school for the benefit of the children. The Knights of Pythias have decided to establish such an institution somewhere in the state and expect to expend from $100,000 to $150,000 in its construction. General Royer informed the members that Anaheim was YOUNG PEOPLE WED AT ST. BONIFACE Leonard Hessel and Miss Rosa Blanchard United by Father Dubbel St. Boniface church was a scene of much gaiety Tuesday morning when at 10 o'clock Father S. J. Dubbel united in marriage Leonard Hessel and Miss Rosa Blanchard, daughter of Mrs. John Cassou. A large number of friends of the parties assembled at the church to witness the ceremony which was performed according to the beautiful and impressive service of the Catholic church. After the ceremony a number of friends assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cassou on West Center street where an elaborate breakfast was served in the middle of the day. There was gaiety at the Cassou home also and it was not ended until the evening when the newly married couple left for a honeymoon trip which will take in San Francisco, where the groom's parents live and may possibly extend to the East. At the service the bride was attended by her sister, Ruby Cassou, and cousin, Stella Masselin, of Los Angeles. The groom was supported by his cousins, Paul and Leo Hessel. A number of relatives of the groom from Los Angeles, were present and assisted in making the occasion a merry one at the Cassou home after the ceremony. The next move made was the issuance of four felony complaints sworn to by Samuel L. Browne, alleging fraudulent registration. Three of the warrants were served, and on the date set for preliminary examination Mr. Browne was not on hand with his evidence, which naturally raises a doubt as to whether he was waiting to be sure of his money first. When he did appear, he only put on evidence in two of the cases, the witnesses in the other being local people. As before stated, the cases all came to nothing in the Superior Court, so all the county has to show for $447.75 expended by the district attorney is the two felony complaints in which Browne put on the evidence, in neither of which was any sentence imposed. In view of the statement of Mr. Young that it always cost the Anti-Saloon League much money for detectives, and the further statement of Dr. Chapman in the tent after the election that he had had two men working all the time whom they knew nothing about, together with the undenied fact that these detectives worked entirely with and for one side only, it would certainly seem that the expense was originally arranged for by the Anti-Saloon League, and should have been paid by them. Had the bill been rejected by the supervisors, and Browne allowed to sue, much interesting light might have been let into this peculiar looking transaction. At the close of the luncheon General Royer made a short talk explaining the object of the home and giving as much information as was possible on the subject at this date. J. W. Duckworth followed him and announced that a suitable site would be offered to the committee. The matter, he said, would be presented to the Board of Trade at its next meeting and definite action would be taken. Other members of the entertainment committee delivered short addresses and assured the visitors that a free site would be offered by Anaheim. General Royer assured the visitors that a better location could not be found in California for the institution and the committee agreed with him. They were all impressed with the conditions here and thought this would be an ideal spot for the home. The order has ample funds for the erection of the home and school and no expense will be spared. The buildings will cost at least $100,000 and may possibly reach $150,000. It is estimated that one hundred widows and orphans will be housed in the home immediately on its completion and this number will be augmented in future years. Mr. Duckworth stated Monday that he believed the institution would be located here as the visiting committee was favorably impressed with what they saw of Anaheim. Moreover this city had the endorsement of General Royer, who is still an Anaheim booster and believes this to be the best town in Southern California, and its climate superior to any other in the world. GREGORY NAMED FOR POSTMASTER Gets Endorsement of Fullerton Democratic Committeemen and Other Citizens The Fullerton Democratic committeemen have endorsed R. S. Gregory for postmaster to succeed Postmaster Edwards, whose term of office will not expire for two years. The local committeemen will recommend to the Orange County Democratic committee that Gregory be recommended to Congressman Kettner for appointment, but it is not believed any step will be taken to have the appointment made before Mr. Edwards' term of office expires. Mr. Gregory has been a well known resident of Fullerton for the past 20 years and has been a Democrat all his life. He served one term as deputy county assessor and has also been a trustee of the city of Fullerton during the past two years. At present he is engaged in the real estate business. He did not ask for the appointment, but was urged to take the place by many friends. The office pays about $2,400 a year. It is said this will be increased from month to month and free city delivery service has been ordered to begin in Fullerton May 1. Protected by Second Mortgage on Ranch of Herbert Dyer, Who Jumped His Bail District Attorney West has begun suit against W. P. Webb and Frank Machleib, bondsmen for Herbert Dyer, to obtain judgment for $5,000. The bondsmen will probably turn this amount of money into the county treasury within ten days in satisfaction of their bond. They are protected by a second mortgage on Dyer's ranch southeast of town, which is said to be worth $11,000, and against which a trust deed in the amount of $4000 holds precedence over their claim. Webb and Machlieb went on Dyer's bond for $5000 immediately upon his arrest upon a felony charge. Being informed that evidence was strong against him they asked for security upon their bond, and were given a second mortgage upon the ranch. A few hours after executing the mortgage Dyer skipped the country and is said to be in Canada. Both Webb and Machlieb are of opinion that Dyer's friends here are keeping him informed as to the progress of events in his case. Mrs. Dyer left some weeks ago, presumably to join her husband, who was said to be in Alberta. When she reached Salt Lake City, so it is reported, she returned to this city. Detectives are on Dyer's trail, and it is thought he will be brought back here to face the felony charge lodged against him.
