SALOONS DO NOT CONTROL THESE MEN HAMLER, SCHNEIDER AND BRUNWORTH MEN OF STANDING AND INTEGRITY THEIR RECORDS AS HONORABLE CITIZENS APPEAL TO VOTERS OF MUNICIPALITY The Anaheim Herald, in advocating the election of the opponents of John H. Brunworth, George W. Hamler and Julius J. Schneider, for city trustees, and Edgar J. Hartung for city treasurer, states first that while the people voted in favor of a liberal city policy, those in harmony with the policy favored by the people, should not govern the city; second, that no salary should be paid the trustees; third, that the city trustees should force the treasurer to secure interest from the banks on money deposited therein, and leads its readers to believe that if elected Messrs. Brunworth, Schneider and Hamler will be "controlled" by the saloons. Our esteemed contemporary, the that have so far been brought up by the Herald, and we are sure that all good citizens of Anaheim will not turn down such old well-known men as Messrs. Brunworth, Schneider and Hamler in favor of any comparative newcomer. RETURNING TO SITE OF OLD MINING CAMP Dug Gold in New Mexico, Geronimo's Savages All About Him Mr. and Mrs. N. Hart returned on Friday from San Diego after an absence of six weeks. Mr. Hart contemplates making a trip next month to Grant county, N. M., where he was formerly engaged in gold mining. He was in that state while Geronimo and his band of Apaches were on the war path. A number of whites were murdered by the renegades, among them Judge McComas, who was driving from Deming to Lordsburg. McComas' young son was carried away by the Apaches and was never recovered. Among other atrocities committed by Geronimo was the murder of a woman whose husband was temporarily absent from his home. His two children, a boy and girl, aged about 8 and 10 years, were bound hand and foot by the Indians and were hung by their chins to meat hooks in an abandoned butcher shop. The father returned some hours later and rescued his children, one of whom recovered. Mr. Hart sold a gold mine for $20,000 A. H. S.

Had the Herald had a longer acquaintance in Anaheim, and been tolerably familiar with its past history, it would have known that Julius J. Schneider, while on the city board some years ago, worked and cast his vote in the council for Sunday closing of the saloons, while the liquor dealers were practically a unit in opposing it. He also fought for a raise in the saloon license and secured the same. George W. Hamler also advocated and secured a raise in the licenses, while everyone knows that John H. Brunworth can be depended upon to do the right as he sees it without let or hinderance from anyone. Representative liquor men inform us that they will support these men for the reason that they are satisfied that they will give everybody a square deal; this is all they want, and is what they are entitled to in accordance with the verdict of the people of Anaheim as registered at the polls last November. While we have nothing against the opponents of Messrs. Brunworth, Hamler and Schneider, we hold that it is not good business to turn down old residents, large taxpayers, and men who have been tried in the balance and found not wanting, in favor of comparative newcomers whose qualifications are not so well known. By inference the Herald implies that the liberal candidates are responsible for and boosting the proposition of salary for the city trustees. This is not true. The proposition was placed on the ballot by the present board of trustees for the people to decide, and the only member of the present board who is a candidate for re-election, Mr. George W. Hamler, was confined to his home by illness when it was acted upon. The matter is strictly up to the voters of this city. If they believe that the laborer is worthy of his hire, and that the city has grown so that the work required of the trustees calls for compensation, they will vote accordingly, otherwise not. The Herald's candidates have gone on record as not desiring any salary, which raises the interesting speculation as to whether, if elected, and the salary being voted by the people, they would insist on refusing it. As a general rule, in all lines of business, when a man advertises that he wants to work for nothing it is because he lacks experience and wants A number of whites were murdered by the renegades, among them Judge McComas, who was driving from Deming to Lordsburg. McComas' young son was carried away by the Apaches and never recovered. Among other atrocities committed by Geronimo was the murder of a woman whose husband was temporarily absent from his home. His two children, a boy and girl, aged about 8 and 10 years, were bound hand and foot by the Indians and were hung by their chins to meat hooks in an abandoned butcher shop. The father returned some hours later and rescued his children, one of whom recovered. Mr. Hart sold a gold mine for $20,000 and came to this city. He will return to the mine after an absence of 29 years and may do some further prospecting. He never nad any trouble with the Indians, although he kept his camp strongly fortified and well prepared for an attack. He could see the Indians' single-file on the mountains near him, but was never molested by the savages. He will probably be absent several weeks. AUTO COLLIDES WITH TELEPHONE POLE Santa Ana Lady Sustains Broken Nose In Consequence Collision with a telephone pole brought an automobile to grief on Kroeger street Sunday afternoon and caused a painful injury to Mrs. Schleisinger, of Santa Ana, one of its occupants. The car was driven by Mrs. W. B. Culver of Santa Ana, and Mrs. Schleisinger was her only passenger. They were motoring down Center street and just as they reached the Kroeger street junction a train on the Santa Fe rushed into sight. The sudden appearance of the train must have confused or frightened the driver. She had ample space in which to stop the auto as a block and a half separated them from the railroad. Instead of stopping, however, she made an effort to turn. The machine made a short curve, climbed over the curbing and ran down the sidewalk on Kroeger street thirty yards and crashed into a telephone pole. Mrs. Schleisinger was pitched forward against the shield and sustained a broken nose and minor bruises. Mrs. Culver was held in her seat by the wheel and was uninjured except receiving a severe shock. The ladies were taken to the residence of Dr. Truxaw where Mrs. Schleisinger's injuries were dressed. The auto was badly damaged. One wheel was wrecked when it struck the curbing and its impact with the pole did the rest. JOE BACKS HAS FEMALE OPPONENT Former Deputy County Recorder Annotates home by illness when it was acted upon. The matter is strictly up to the voters of this city. If they believe that the laborer is worthy of his hire, and that the city has grown so that the work required of the trustees calls for compensation, they will vote accordingly, otherwise not. The Herald's candidates have gone on record as not desiring any salary, which raises the interesting speculation as to whether, if elected, and the salary being voted by the people, they would insist on refusing it. As a general rule, in all lines of business, when a man advertises that he wants to work for nothing it is because he lacks experience and wants to get it so that he may be worth a salary afterwards. In regard to the Herald's proposition that the trustees should force the treasurer to secure interest on the city money, it would have been better had they looked up the law on the subject. From competent legal authority we learn that "the law provides for the deposit of moneys belonging to a municipality in licensed state or national banks upon the depositary complying with certain conditions. Such depositary must furnish as security for such deposit bonds of the United States, of this state, or of any county, municipality, school district or irrigation district within the state. Such bonds are subject to the approval of the treasurer and the city attorney. The market value of such bonds shall be at least 10 per cent in excess of the deposits secured thereby, and the amount of the deposit shall in no event exceed the face value of the bonds. The matter of depositing municipal moneys with licensed banks is within the discretion of the treasurer, and any such deposits are subject to withdrawal by him on demand. The board of trustees has no control whatever over the deposit of public moneys in banking institutions, and can not by resolution or otherwise control the acts of the treasurer in that regard. The method of making such deposits is regulated entirely by statute, and is not within the province of the board. The treasurer is, of course, not obliged to make such deposits with banking institutions unless applications therefor are made to him, nor is he bound to grant such applications if, in his judgment, the public interests would not be subserved thereby." The foregoing covers all the points Truxaw where Mrs. Schleisinger's injuries were dressed. The auto was badly damaged. One wheel was wrecked when it struck the curbing and its impact with the pole did the rest. JOE BACKS HAS FEMALE OPPONENT Former Deputy County Recorder Announces Her Candidacy Two women will be among the candidates for county offices in Orange county this year. Miss Justice Whitney makes the statement that she is entered in the race for county recorder, and Mrs. E. B. Norman expects to enter for county superintendent of schools. G. E. Peters, who has been recorder for 11 years, left the court house Monday to enter the employ of the Orange County Savings and Trust Company as assistant trust officer. His place was taken by J. M. Backs, appointed by the board of supervisors. Miss Whitney was chief deputy under Peters and was a candidate for the appointment. She declined appointment from Backs and today began an active campaign against him. Mrs. Norman, a member of the Santa Ana school board, will be an opponent of R. P. Mitchell, present school superintendent. WHERE TO VOTE Polling places in the eight Anaheim precincts where the ballots will be cast on Monday have been fixed at the following places: - Precinct No. 1—Anaheim Union High School building. - Precinct No. 2—Pacific Implement Company's store. - Precinct No. 3—Central school building. - Precinct No. 4—Anaheim Opera House building. - Precinct No. 5—Fremont school building. - Precinct No. 6—Anaheim Public Library. - Precinct No. 7—City Hall. - Precinct No. 8—Primary school building.

STUDENTS PROVE GOOD ACTORS ENTERTAIN LARGE AUDIENCE AT THE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM FRIDAY EVENING BOX OFFICE RECEIPTS TO BE USED IN ASSISTING THE CAUSE OF ATHLETICS Histrionic talent of high degree, considering the fact that the actors were all amateurs and high school boys at that, developed at the entertainment given by the Anaheim high school students Friday evening on the auditorium stage of the school. The object of the entertainment was augmentation of the treasury balance of the athletic association for the purpose of paying the expenses of Beebe, Douglas and Coach Millikin on their pilgrimage to the north where on the Stanford cinder track Saturday the two former are expected to cover themselves with glory and bring fame to their school. The big auditorium was comfortably filled consequently the receipts must have been sufficient for the purpose. coming down Chapman avenue. While making the turn into Chapman the truck was run into in a head-end collision by the bicycle. In an instant the bike and its rider was under the truck and both were crushed. The injured man was immediately rushed to the hospital at Fullerton but he was beyond medical aid and died shortly afterward. No blame attaches to the driver of the truck for the unfortunate affair. Four or five persons saw the accident and all state that the truck was making the proper turn and the Jap who was on the wrong side of the street, dashed headlong into it. He had ample time to swerve out of the way but appears to have been bewildered and lost his head. Marlano is a Jap from the Philippine Islands which accounts for his name. He was about 23 years of age and was engaged on work in the neighborhood. He was living in a camp with a number of other workmen. CELEBRATES HER 67TH BIRTHDAY Happy Family Gathering at Home of Mrs. Josephine Weisel The beautiful home of Mrs. Josephine Weisel at the corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets was the scene of a happy family reunion Sunday. It was Mrs. Weisel's 67th birthday anniversary, consequently the en- POSTOFFICE MAY CHANGE ITS LOCATION TWO BIDS SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO ADVERTISEMENT FOR NEW LEASE OWNER OF PROPERTY OPPOSITE CITY HALL OFFERS TO ERECT SUITABLE BUILDING Uprooting a postoffice after it has been established on a certain site long enough to become a landmark and transplanting it elsewhere is not an easy matter and can only be accomplished when it is shown that the service is benefited thereby. The Anaheim postoffice has been conducted in its present quarters many years but it is within the bounds of possibility that it may move eastward several blocks and the new postmaster begin his administration in a new location. The increase in the business of the office during the past few years and the extension of the service with the consequent enlargement of the force that, developed at the entertainment given by the Anaheim high school students Friday evening on the auditorium stage of the school. The object of the entertainment was augmentation of the treasury balance of the athletic association for the purpose of paying the expenses of Beebe, Douglas and Coach Millikin on their pilgrimage to the north where on the Stanford cinder track Saturday the two former are expected to cover themselves with glory and bring fame to their school. The big auditorium was comfortably filled consequently the receipts must have been sufficient for the purpose. It was something of a disappointment that only boys were in the cast of characters, and the audience was not given an opportunity of hearing some of the high school girls in music and dialogue. One graceful little lady was led onto the stage by King Ritchie and assisted him in his "Million Dollar Dream" song and dance, but when she removed her drooping hat and bowed low after responding to an encore the close-cropped head of Arthur Coons was revealed. The complete program as rendered was as follows: Gold Dust Twins—John Bradley and Ernest Heying, assisted by Coe Wellman. Quartette—Edward Backs, Morris Martenet, Coe Wellman and Gerald Whitaker. Human Pyramids—Ben Hein, Wesley Hein, George Kemp, Will Jesserun, Virgil Simpson, Leslie Abbott, Ben Kruger, Elmer Mayohnier, Foster Chambers, Harold Goodale, Percy Swope, Irving Quarton. The Dutchman that does not Fly—Arthur Turck. Musical Duo—Frederick Larson and Alex Huch. Irish Monologist—Clark Scott. "A Million Dollar Dream"—King Ritchie and Arthur Coons. Human Jumping Jacks—Fred Owen and Clevenger Megede. Meeting of the Citizens—Clark Scott, Arthur Turck, Frank Schacht, Arnold Enearl, Foster Chambers, Clark Chamberlain. Boy Tenor—Edward Backs. Juvenile Artist — Walter Muckenthaler. Minstrels—George Headstrom, interlocutor; Clarence Beebe, Edward Heying, Jack Spencer, Jay Evans, Morris Martenet, Coe Wellman, Edward Miller, Charles Briscoe. It would be difficult to decide which, if any, of these amateur artists deserves special mention over his fellows. Each delineated his character admirably. Each number on the program was loudly applauded and vociferously enced; in fact the delighted audience would fain have had a second repetition of some of the comedy stunts. Prof. Millikin had charge of the work of preparation and was ably assisted by Miss Veda Walker in training and stage arrangements, Miss Ghee, of Long Beach, and Miss Turner, in costumes and make-up, and Miss Walter with the music. CELEBRATES HER 67TH BIRTHDAY Happy Family Gathering at Home of Mrs. Josephine Weisel The beautiful home of Mrs. Josephine Weisel at the corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets was the scene of a happy family reunion Sunday. It was Mrs. Weisel's 67th birthday anniversary, consequently the entire family of children, children-in-law, and grand-children gathered to celebrate the occasion with her and felicitate her on her hale and hearty age. Besides the family a few intimate friends were invited and assisted in making the day an enjoyable one. Those present were P. J. Weisel and wife, Hans V. Weisel and wife, Fred Weisel and wife, Dr. F. H. Houck and wife, Dr. Syer and wife, of Los Angeles, Richard Krastek and wife, R. Schellens and wife and Joe Hilcher and wife. These are the sons, daughters, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law of Mrs. Weisel and they were accompanied by numerous children. In addition to these Mrs. Larson of Hollywood, Mrs. Eastlac, F. Schmidt, Albert Knirsch and Jack Klein were of the party. None of the children or grand-children of Mrs. Weisel were absent which added to the pleasure of the happy reunion, and left no room for regrets on the part of those present. A sumptuous dinner was one of the features of the occasion. Mrs. Weisel has been a resident of Anaheim 24 years, coming here from Milwaukee in 1890. She has acquired a long list of warm friends here who will join with her family in extending congratulations and genuine wishes for many more happy birthdays. MARTIN'S WAR SCENE PROVES A SUCCESS Blows Up a $5,000 Aeroplane With Dynamite Bomb Glenn Martin Thursday afternoon blew up a $5,000 aeroplane, his "speed tractor," not the new "army scout," with a dynamite bomb, to make a moving picture—but he did it accidentally. Martin, standing transfixed while a 55-pound dynamite bomb dug a six-foot hole in the barley field which is to be Pomona's new speedway and while the fragments of his aeroplane and tons of earth geysered about him, qualified as the most realistic "movie" actor in the profession. No one was hurt, and L. K. Dewein, cinematographer for the Hearst-Selig Pictorial, kept turning the crank of his machine, thereby getting many feet of film filled with action. Martin intended to fly into an adjacent field at a safe distance, take the bomb aboard and drop it so the crowd might see the deadly effect of a bomb transplanting it elsewhere is not an easy matter and can only be accomplished when it is shown that the service is benefited thereby. The Anaheim postoffice has been conducted in its present quarters many years but it is within the bounds of possibility that it may move eastward several blocks and the new postmaster begin his administration in a new location. The increase in the business of the office during the past few years and the extension of the service with the consequent enlargement of the force has cramped the present quarters and enlargement has become a necessity. Months ago plans for overhauling the structure, building an addition on the rear and making it commensurate with the present needs were drawn and should the office remain where it is the improvements will immediately be made. Mr. Dickel, owner of the building, has submitted a bid for renewal of the lease and will reconstruct the room to meet the growing demands for more space should his bid be accepted. Another proposition, however, has been submitted to the department which may result in removal of the office to other quarters. Mrs. McLaughlin, owner of the vacant grounds at the corner of Center and Emily streets, opposite the city hall, has submitted a proposal which will receive the consideration of the powers, perhaps. Mrs. McLaughlin, through her agent, Stephen Kistler, offers to erect a suitable building on the corner and construct it in conformity with the requirements of the business. The call for bids require a 10-year lease. It is not probable that the postal authorities will accept either of the two offers without making a thorough investigation and obtaining the sentiment of the patrons of the office respecting the two sites, consequently a warm contest may develop. Persons doing business west of Los Angeles street will naturally desire to keep it where it is, but a strenuous effort will probably be made to remove it in case the proposition is submitted to a decision of the people. AFTER SIX YEARS FINDS MANY CHANGES Otto Baum Returns to Anaheim After Lengthy Sojourn in Kansas Otto Baum returned to this city last week from Kansas, accompanied by his wife and four children, after an absence of six years. He contemplates locating in this city, and is glad to get back to the region where he formerly resided for so many years. He finds many changes here, and hardly knows the town. He sees many miles of paved streets and other improvements which have gone forward during his absence. "Anaheim has made wonderful progress since I left here in 1908," he said in speaking to a Gazette reporter. "Notable among the improvements are the many miles of paved streets which FORMER RESIDENT REVISITS THIS CITY Mrs. Lawton of Santa Ana, Guest of Ebell Club Saturday Afternoon Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana, attended a meeting of the Ebell Club at Odd Fellows' hall on Saturday afternoon, when nominations for officers were made for the ensuing year. A large attendance of members was present, and a feature of the afternoon was a tempting repast served by the ladies of the club. Mrs. Lawton is a leading club woman of Santa Ana, and is president of the Southern California Federation of Woman's Clubs which meets at Riverside next month in annual session. She will attend the meeting and will assume her office at that time. She was a former resident of this city and met many old-time friends during her short stay. LIFE CRUSHED OUT BY AUTO TRUCK Japanese Laborer Collides With Anaheim Transfer Co.'s Machine Crushed and maimed to such an extent that he died within an hour after the accident a Jap who answered to the name of Mariano Macatongay, died at the Fullerton hospital Friday morning, the result of a collision with a big auto truck belonging to the Anaheim Truck & Transfer Company. The truck was driven by William Hansard, with Billy Oberlander in the seat beside him. He was going north on Spadra street while Mariano, on a bicycle was Martin, standing transfixed while a 55-pound dynamite bomb dug a six-foot hole in the barley field which is to be Pomona's new speedway and while the fragments of his aeroplane and tons of earth geysered about him, qualified as the most realistic "movie" actor in the profession. No one was hurt, and L. K. Dewein, cinematographer for the Hearst-Selig Pictorial, kept turning the crank of his machine, thereby getting many feet of film filled with action. Martin intended to fly into an adjacent field at a safe distance, take the bomb aboard and drop it so the crowd might see the deadly effect of a bomb thrown from a war aeroplane. Dewein asked Martin to rehearse a portion of the preliminary acts, to give him advance pictures. Martin and Charles F. Willard carried the bomb out to the aeroplane, "registering" caution while Dewein turned the crank. The aviators placed the bomb, dynamite encased in papier-mache and a canvas carrier, on the seat of the tractor, and then after a bit of parley, for the picture pantomime, walked out of the "field." They had just turned towards Dewein to ask him what to do next, and he was still cranking, when a deafening roar was followed by the quickest aeroplane ascension ever made. Dewein was perhaps a hundred feet, the others 75 feet, away. The bomb dug a great hole and caught the tractor on the back-kick. For that reason the wreckage was carried at an angle over the heads of the three men—dangerously close, but none of the trio was hit. For many seconds afterwards they were busy dodging falling portions of the aeroplane that had been blown more directly upward. The tractor is a total loss. Even its Gnome engine is ruined. Martin believes the bomb slid off the seat. A H. Davis, a pioneer of Anaheim, came down Saturday, accompanied by his wife and son, for a short visit and for an inspection of business conditions with a view of locating. The party motored down from the north in Mr. Davis' Maxwell 90, and was held up en route twice for exceeding the speed limit of 50 miles per hour, but on proving that the car was only capable of 48 miles, was permitted to proceed. A five-course luncheon was served, the waitresses being the daughters of the club women. At each place were dainty favors in the form of a chicken standing beside half a broken egg shell. The egg shells were filled with week from Kansas, accompanied by his wife and four children, after an absence of six years. He contemplates locating in this city, and is glad to get back to the region where he formerly resided for so many years. He finds many changes here, and hardly knows the town. He sees many miles of paved streets and other improvements which have gone forward during his absence. "Anaheim has made wonderful progress since I left here in 1908," he said in speaking to a Gazette reporter. "Notable among the improvements are the many miles of paved streets which are a credit to the community. The high school, public library, Masonic temple, Dreyfus building and other edifices are an indication that the town has prospered. I have seen no town in my travels which looks better to me than this city." Otto has been engaged in the meat market business in Kansas. He was formerly engaged in the same business in this city, and six years ago returned to Kansas. Crops have failed for two years in that state, and he is rejoiced to get back to his old stamping ground. His many friends hereabout extend him a cordial welcome home for there was not a more popular boy in this city than Otto Baum. EBELL CLUB HOLDS ANNUAL LUNCHEON Also Elects New Officers, and Delegates to Convention The annual luncheon of the Ebell Society was given at Odd Fellows' hall on Saturday, April 4. The tables looked very attractive set in the form of a hollow square open at one end. The decorations were in keeping with springtides and Easter, being yellow mustard, asparagus fern and smilax. The ceiling and walls were decorated with the flowers and greenery as well as the tables. A five-course luncheon was served, the waitresses being the daughters of the club women. At each place were dainty favors in the form of a chicken standing beside half a broken egg shell. The egg shells were filled with ZETTE NUMBER 28 PRICE MAY BE ITS TION MITTED IN REVERTISEMENT W LEASE PERTY OPPOSITE MERS TO ERECT BUILDING office after it has a certain site long landmark and elsewhere is not an only be accom shown that the ser hereby.

The business of the last few years and service with the moment of the force olives, and an appropriate verse was attached to each favor. After the luncheon an interesting program was rendered, including several selections on the violin very ably rendered by Mr. Schmidt, Miss Pearl Sidnam accompanying him on the piano. Prof. Evans, of Fullerton, then gave several fine selections on the piano. Mrs. A. J. Lawton, of Santa Ana, who is the incoming president of the Federation of Southern California Woman's Cubs, gave a short talk in which she laid stress upon the watchwords of "co-operation and efficiency," for the club next year. Mesdames J. O. Reed, Eva Boyd, G. A. Gifford and Miss Pearl Sidnam were chosen delegates to the county federation to be held at the club house, Placentia, on April 16. Mesdames Morse and Simpson were elected delegates to the state convention at San Diego, and Mrs. Geo. W. Terry and Mrs. B. V. Beebe chosen alternates. The following officers of the club were elected for the coming year: President, Mrs. Ida Dutton; first vice-president, Mrs. Geo. W. Terry; second vice-president, Mrs. C. E. Chamberlain; recording secretary, Mrs. Alice Grimshaw; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Earl Abbey; treasurer, Mrs. J. O. Reed. An entertainment will be given by the club at Fremont school April 28, at which Mrs. Gregg, a Los Angeles reader, will appear. PYTHIAN HOME TO BE BUILT HERE SILVER STAR LODGE, OF LOS ANGELES, CHOOSE ANAHEIM FOR SEAT OF BUILDINGS BASKET PICNIC BEING ARRANGED FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF VISITORS MAY 3 Anaheim, it has been officially decided, will be the seat of the widows' and orphans' home which is to be established by Silver Star lodge, Knights of Pythias, of Los Angeles. This announcement was formally made to Anaheim lodge, K. of P., at the meeting Wednesday night by a committee from Silver Star lodge consisting of General J. O. Royer, Major McCleary, commander of the order, and Lieutenant Williamson. This committee was appointed for the purpose of conveying to Anaheim brethren the decision of the Silver Star lodge. The site selected is on General Royer's estate in the west end. This site was offered many months ago when the establishment of a home was first under consideration.. After viewing the site and considering its advantages TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD TO PROLONG LIFE Fred B. Dickerson at Point of Death at His Home on East Side Fred. B. Dickerson, a well known resident of the East Side, is lying at the point of death from the effects of pernicious anaemia, a disease which destroys blood cells, and reduces it to water. Mr. Dickerson has been critically ill for several weeks, and his life has been several times despaired of. He came here from Montana a year ago in search of health, and while his condition showed great improvement soon after his arrival, he was seized with his old complaint some months ago, and has since been in weakened and emaciated condition. On Friday last, in an attempt to prolong his life, his physicians, Drs. Johnston and Beebe, determined upon the transfusion of blood as the only means of saving his life. A call was made for volunteers to offer a pint of their blood in behalf of the suffering patient. Bert Simpson immediately responded, and on Friday evening a pint of blood was taken from his left arm at the elbow joint, a large artery being severed and blood drawn off into a glass receptacle. This was transfused into the veins of the patient with the result that his condition the following day showed great improvement. It may be necessary to repeat the operation, which the physicians believe is the only mode of saving their patient's life. Mr. Simpson suffered no inconvenience from the taking of the blood, and announces his readiness to submit to a further operation if it be deemed necessary. Dr. Johnston said last evening that the patient was holding his own, and that his condition continued to show improvement. Mr. Dickerson is aged about 35 years. He has a wife and little daughter. Mrs. Dickerson and the little girl were called to Billings, Mont., in December by a telegram advising her of her father's death. He died suddenly of apoplexy one evening while engaged in reading his paper. Mrs. Dickerson's mother, Mrs. Biglow, returned with her, and her sister, Mrs. Atkins, who lost her husband in Montana last year, is also making her home here with her. SCHOOL BONDS CARRY BY BIG MAJORITY President, Mrs. Ida Dutton; first vice-president, Mrs. Geo. W. Terry; second vice-president, Mrs. C.E. Chamberlain; recording secretary, Mrs. Alice Grimshaw; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Earl Abbey; treasurer, Mrs. J.O.Reed. An entertainment will be given by the club at Fremont school April 28, at which Mrs. Gregg, a Los Angeles reader, will appear. The site selected is on General Royer's estate in the west end. This site was offered many months ago when the establishment of a home was first under consideration. After viewing the site and considering its advantages the lodge voted to accept it and build the home thereon. Silver Star lodge holds a unique position in Pythianism inasmuch as it is the only lodge in the United States composed entirely of policemen. No applicant for membership is eligible unless he holds a job on the Los Angeles police force and is in good repute. General Royer's application was accepted only after he complied with the requirements and became a policeman. He is patrolman No. 312 on Chief Sebastian's roll, but he is not expected to be a very active member or patrol a very long beat. Committees are now at work both from the K. of P.'s and the Pythian Sisters soliciting subscriptions for the construction of the buildings. Just how much is required has not yet been decided but the structure will be handsome and modern and will be amply large for the purpose. Entrance to the home will be limited to the widows and orphans of members of Silver Star lodge but as that order has more than 300 members and all are engaged in a dangerous profession, it is figured that it will always have many inmates. It is believed this home will be the pioneer of other Pythian homes on the same grounds. The Anaheim boys long ago talked of such a proposition and will probably build a home adjoining. Other orders may follow suit and a group of widows' and orphans' homes eventually spring up around this neculus from Los Angeles. On Sunday, May 3, Silver Star lodge and the Pythian Temple in conjunction with Anaheim lodge and Anaheim Temple, will hold a basket picnic at Columbia Gardens in West Anaheim. This is the occasion of the annual outing of the Los Angeles members, and they are coming down in force on special trains to break bread and salt with their Anaheim brethren and sisters. Members of other lodges may possibly be present to help swell the crowd and add to the entertainment. The Los Angeles force will arrive here in the morning on special trains. They will be met at the depot by Anaheim lodge and temple and escorted in procession to the grounds. With their brilliant uniforms, brass bands and gold and glitter, they will make an imposing parade. There will be no barbecue in connection with this meet as all the food will come out of baskets. B. T. Beale, Frank Davis and Frank Goodrich are the committee in charge of arrangements and they promise to give the visitors an enjoyable time and uphold the reputation of Anaheim for hospitality. The committee is arranging a number of athletic stunts which will SCHOOL BONDS CARRY BY BIG MAJORITY Boege Re-Elected in Anaheim District and Winters on High School Board The proposition to bond the Anaheim school district in the sum of $15,000 for the purpose of building an addition to the Broadway school carried by a large majority at Friday's election. Two hundred and seventy-six votes were cast on the question, as follows: For the bonds... 201 Against the bonds... 75 Majority ... 126 The election board was Oliver Hill, J. W. Wallop and A. H. Squier. There was no opposition to the re-election of Chas. A. Boege on the school board although 19 scattering votes were found in the box. Mr. Boege has made an excellent guardian of the district's interests and the voters saw no reason for retiring him. The total vote cast was 284 of which Mr. Boege received 265. The election board was F. A. Backs, Jr., Fred Maurer and J. P. McCarter. The money secured from the sale of bonds will be used in the erection of four more rooms to the Boardway school building, doubling its present size. The present building is not considered strong enough to bear another story—at least the walls were not built for the purpose of adding thereto in a skyward direction, consequently another building similar to the old one will be erected. There was no opposition to the re-election of S. D. Winters on the Anaheim Union High School board, consequently a very light vote was polled. The vote at the High School building was 93, Mr. Winters getting all of them. The election board was composed of S. Lybarger, Fritz Comstock and A. B. Markle.
