SUGAR FACTORY WILL HAVE BIG OUTPUT EXCELLENT YIELD OF BEETS EXPECTED FROM CO.'S EIGHT THOUSAND ACRES WILL BEGIN CAMPAIGN OF 1914 PROBABLY LAST WEEK IN JULY Somewhere between July 20 and August 1 the Anaheim sugar factory will start its fires and begin the manufacture of its 1914 output of sugar. The actual date of opening depends upon the ripening of the beets, consequently it is impossible to make a definite statement on that point. It will probably be two weeks earlier than last year's opening which date was August 6. The unusually favorable weather this year and the seasonable and bountiful rains have insured an excellent crop of beets. It is too early to make tests but it is predicted that the sugar by the Standard Transfer Company, No. 114 West Thirtieth street, Los Angeles, was attempting to make a turn on the street in front of the restaurant. Instead of moving the reverse lever, as was evidently his intention, he started forward on the slow gear, and becoming confused, lost control, climbed the sidewalk and went through the window. TOM THUMB WEDDING SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR St. Michael's Guild Gives a Delightful Entertainment Under the supervision of Mrs. Frank Champion the "Tom Thumb Wedding," rehearsal for which has been in progress for weeks past, proved to be one of the most successful and delightful entertainments witnessed for many months. It was given for the benefit of St. Michael's Guild, the proceeds to be used in purchasing furniture for the newly-erected guild hall. Four-year-old Annabelle Griggs was the bride. Dressed in white satin with a long train carried over her arm, with a long flowing white veil and a bunch of orange blossoms pinned on her head she looked the part of a miniature bride and carried herself with grace EAGLES BAKE 500 VISITORS BROTHERS GEN.

Five responded to the invitation Anaheim Aerie. They start its fires and begin the manufacture of its 1914 output of sugar. The actual date of opening depends upon the ripening of the beets, consequently it is impossible to make a definite statement on that point. It will probably be two weeks earlier than last year's opening which date was August 6. The unusually favorable weather this year and the seasonable and bountiful rains have insured an excellent crop of beets. It is too early to make tests but it is predicted that the sugar content will be exceptionally high even for Orange county beets which yield the highest percentage of sugar of any grown in the United States. Last year the beets averaged 17.82 in sugar, in 1912, 19.70, and in 1911, the first season's run, 19.08. Owing to ample moisture and unstinted growth they should better the highest of these yields this season. The acreage signed up this season is little less than that of last year and the yield will probably be about the same. Seventeen million pounds of refined sugar was the output aside from the by-products and there is no reason to believe that this season will not be as good or even better. According to official reports the factory has yielded profits aggregating $325,000 during the three years of its existence. This money has practically all been used in adding to the plants' efficiency. This had increased the value of the factory but prevented the stockholders drawing down a dividend. Last summer a private sewer system, covering forty acres of ground, was constructed at a cost of many thousands of dollars. This will take care of all the waste water and prevent the odor arising from the waste which a year ago people with an abnormal sense of smell living on the north side declared offended all the noses from North street to Fullerton. More than fifty pits, or beds, as they are termed, have been excavated in the sand, covering forty acres of ground just east of the buildings, and through them the water will be sunk into the ground as rapidly as it flows from the factory. It is stated that little or no money will be needed for repairs and improvements during the coming year and a good yield is practically assured, consequently the only thing that can prevent the stockholders cutting a melon at the close of this campaign is the price of sugar. Under the Underwood-Simmons tariff law which, President Peck declared, would cripple every sugar factory in the United States unless that schedule was modified, the price was reduced to less than the actual cost of production. Last season the presses and beginnings for weeks past proved to be one of the most successful and delightful entertainments witnessed for many months. It was given for the benefit of St. Michael's Guild, the proceeds to be used in purchasing furniture for the newly-erected guild hall. Four-year-old Annabelle Griggs was the bride. Dressed in white satin with a long train carried over her arm, with a long flowing white veil and a bunch of orange blossoms pinned on her head she looked the part of a miniature bride and carried herself with grace and decorum. Alan Robertson, of Fulerton, was the bridegroom. He was attired in evening dress and sustained his character with dignity.

JUDGE BEN LINDSEY AT HIGH SCHOOL Famous Denver Jurist Will Lecture on "The Misfortunes of Mickey" One of the chief attractions offered at the High School auditorium this season is the lecture by Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver, which is scheduled for Tuesday evening, April 28. Judge Lindsey has for a number of years been at the head of the juvenile court in Colorado city and his wise and humane administration of the difficult duties of the position have made his name noted from Maine to California, and other juvenile courts have profited by his actions. "The Misfortunes of Mickey" is the subject of Judge Lindsey's lecture. In it he will tell from his experience the start its fires and begin the manufacture of its 1914 output of sugar.

Last season will be needed for repairs and improvements during the coming year and a good yield is practically assured, consequently the only thing that can prevent the stockholders cutting a melon at the close of this campaign is the price of sugar. Under the Underwood-Simmons tariff law which, President Peck declared, would cripple every sugar factory in the United States unless that schedule was modified, the price was reduced to less than the actual cost of production. Last season the average cost was $3.89 per hundred pounds and the price in Kansas City dwindled to $3.57. Of course the price paid for beets this year, owing to the unfavorable provisions of the new law is much less than prevailed heretofore, consequently the cost of production will be lowered which will partially offset the short price where the finished product is marketed. Superintendent Jesserun and his efficient corps of assistants anticipate a good season with a superior quality of beets and a heavy yield of sugar. What the finished products brings on the market is outside of their jurisdiction. The floods of the past winter which washed out crops in many places did little damage to the beet acreage signed up by the Anaheim company. The company was particularly fortunate in this respect, its loss being so slight as to be worthy of little consideration. UNMANAGEABLE AUTO Brandle's restaurant building at Fullerton, presents the appearance of having passed through an earthquake or some similar shock. The large plate glass window, covering the entire front of the building, was shattered Saturday evening by an auto truck running into it head on, and the damage resulting is estimated by the owner at $300. The driver of the freight truck, owned son is the lecture by Judge Ben Lindsey, of Denver, which is scheduled for Tuesday evening, April 28. Judge Lindsey has for a number of years been at the head of the juvenile court in the Colorado city and his wise and humane administration of the difficult duties of the position have made his name noted from Maine to California, and other juvenile courts have profited by his actions. "The Misfortunes of Mickey" is the subject of Judge Lindsey's lecture. In it he will tell from his experience the best methods of dealing with boys who have criminal inclinations or who drift into a petty criminal career by stress of circumstances. He tells of the incident in his judicial career that turned his attention to the boy. Six or seven years ago the district attorney had said one morning, "We have some burglars to try this morning, judge," and looking around he saw three little boys sitting in the jury box. They were the "burglars," and that single incident set Judge Lindsey to thinking, the result being the present juvenile system in the state of Colorado that is destined to become national. In his lectures he touches many phases of the problem of the day relating to the youth. He believes that parents should be held responsible for the welfare of their children. He also says that business men should learn the facts of the cause of crime, and that no business will ever succeed when it puts money above heart and conscience. Mrs. G. W. Hamler entertained the Ladies' Club at her residence on Charles street Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Sheridan carried off the honors and won the first prize, Mrs. Cole was second, and Mrs. Fred Rimpau captured the consolation offering. AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. APRIL 23, 1914 EAGLES BANQUET 500 VISITING BROTHERS GEN. ROYER, CHIEF SEBASTIAN, JUDGE SUMMERFIELD AND OTHER MEN OF NOTE HERE THIRTY-FIVE CANDIDATES ARE INITIATED INTO THE MYSTERIES OF THE ORDER Anaheim was invaded by a flock of birds Wednesday evening and for several hours they held possession of the town and overran its streets and its places of business. They received a cordial welcome wherever they appeared, however, being treated as distinguished guests. They were Eagles and they came here for the purpose of assisting Anaheim Aerie in the initiation of a class of applicants for membership in that popular order. Five hundred visitors responded to the invitation sent out by Anaheim Aerie. They hailed from Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach, Re. Mr. Burke's address was made by Judge Summerfield. It was midnight before the last speech ended and the assemblage broke up. The Los Angeles special left for home at 1 o'clock but several of the visitors remained over night and returned to their homes the next day. The Eagle lodge is one of the largest orders in the city. It now numbers 167 with applications on hand sufficient to raise this total to almost 200. This is the only lodge in the county and its membership roll contains many names from other towns. The Los Angeles lodge is composed largely of policemen and many of the visitors here were members of the force. DEATH CLAIMS F. B. DICKERSON Passes Away After Lingering Illness Thursday Morning Fred B. Dickerson, who has made an heroic fight for his life during the past several weeks, died at his home on East Center street Thursday morning. Mr. Dickerson has long been an invalid and a year ago he came to Anaheim in the hope of bettering his health. For a time after his arrival his condition was greatly improved, but the old disease, aenernia, was too strong to be over- MAYOR J. H. COOK ASSUMES THE GAVEL NEW BOARD OF TRUSTEES ORGANIZED MONDAY NIGHT AFTER CANVAS OF VOTE MR. COOK ELECTED PRESIDENT BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE MEMBERS After canvassing the vote polled in the eight precincts on Monday, April 13, and adopting a resolution submitted by City Attorney Ames declaring the election of J. H. Brunworth, George W. Hamler and Julius J. Schneider as trustees, Edward B. Merritt city clerk, and Edgar J. Hartung city treasurer, the board of trustees on Monday night, on motion of Gates, adjourned without day and ceased to exist so far as the old board was concerned. Messrs. Nebelung and Gates, the retiring members of the board, each made a short address. There was a similarity in their brief remarks. Each thanked the board for the uniform courtesy extend- town and overran its streets and its places of business. They received a cordial welcome wherever they appeared, however, being treated as distinguished guests. They were Eagles and they came here for the purpose of assisting Anaheim Aerie in the initiation of a class of applicants for membership in that popular order. Five hundred visitors responded to the invitation sent out by Anaheim Aerie. They hailed from Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach, Redondo, Ocean Park, Santa Ana and other points. Three hundred and fifty of them came down in a Santa Fe special, arriving here at 7:45 o'clock. Pasadena and Ocean Park members were aboard this train, and a Los Angeles drum corps accompanied them. The Long Beach contingent, 100 strong, arrived in automobiles. The Beachites brought with them an excellent band which furnished inspiring music during the evening. The special train was met at the depot on its arrival by the Anaheim lodge and the 35 candidates who were slated to ride the goat. The Long Beach members who had already arrived, were also in line, and headed by the band and the drum corps the procession, two blocks in length, marched to the aerie on Lemon street, then countermarched to Odd Fellows' hall where the initiation exercises were to take place, the Eagles' hall being too small to accommodate the crowd. Here after President Lake had opened the meeting with ritualistic ceremonies, he turned the gavel over to President Robert McGraw of the Los Angeles Aerie, who presided while the over-worked goat was making full-fledged Eagles out of 35 pieces of raw material. This was a lengthy ceremony as each candidate was passed through separately and individually. The initiating team were all members of Los Angeles Aerie, No. 102. After transforming the applicants into good Eagles the session adjourned and the hungry visitors were piloted to the aerie on Lemon street where a substantial banquet had been prepared. Chef Bob Mills had charge of this important adjunct to the night's entertainment and the menu he presented fitted admirably the appetites brought to the feast by the hungry host. Twenty-five big, fat specimens of the only fowl that disputes with the eagle its claim to supremacy as the national bird—the turkey—formed the piece de resistance of the banquet. This was proceeded by 250 pounds of baked fish which appeared after a couple of barrels of clam chowder had been consumed.

Dickerson, who has made an heroic fight for his life during the past several weeks, died at his home on East Center street Thursday morning. Mr. Dickerson has long been an invalid and a year ago he came to Anaheim in the hope of bettering his health. For a time after his arrival his condition was greatly improved, but the old disease, aenernia, was too strong to be overcome by climate and he began to decline. After it became apparent that medicine could not save him his physicians, Drs. Johnston and Beebe, decided that the stimulation of his blood cells by transfusion of blood from a healthy person was the only possible means of saving his life. On making this announcement and calling for volunteers who would be willing to make a sacrifice for the benefit of the sufferer, V. U. Simpson offered to yield up the necessary blood. Mr. Simpson was an old-time Montana friend of Mr. Dickerson. The physicians accepted him and on Friday, April 3, a pint of blood was drawn from his left arm and injected into the veins of the sufferer. Improvement was noticeable in the patient within a few hours, but it was only transitory and he soon began to decline again until the end came on Thursday last. Mr. Dickerson was 35 years of age and leaves a wife and 4-year-old child. Funeral services were held at the residence on the east side Monday at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. F. W. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church. The remains were interred in the Anaheim cemetery. The pall bearers were J. W. Sackett, V. U. Simpson, G. M. Simpson, J. C. Calloway, F. W. Lee and R. B. Herman, all former Montanans. Anaheim Lodge Holds Its First Annual Outing Sunday Three hundred picnicers, the merry party being composed of members of the Loyal Order of Moose, motored out to Sycamore Flats Sunday and spent the day eating barbecued meats and indulging in sports. It was the first annual picnic of the Anaheim lodge but a number of members from the oil wells, from Santa Ana and Los Angeles were present as guests of the local order. By City Attorney Anes declaring the election of J. H. Brunworth, George W. Hamler and Julius J. Schneider as trustees, Edward B. Merritt city clerk, and Edgar J. Hartung city treasurer, the board of trustees on Monday night, on motion of Gates, adjourned without day and ceased to exist so far as the old board was concerned. Messrs. Nebelung and Gates, the retiring members of the board, each made a short address. There was a similarity in their brief remarks. Each thanked the board for the uniform courtesy extended them in the past, for the harmony that prevailed at all sessions, and expressed the hope that like conditions would continue during the administration of the new board. Both Nebelung and Gates declined to stand for re-election and they were the only retiring members. Both of these gentlemen leave behind them clean, conservative and unimpeachable records. They worked in harmony with the other members of the board and share the credit for the many good things accomplished during the past two years. The official figures were practically the same as those previously printed. Brunworth, Schneider and Hamler carried the first six precincts in the city. At the High School building, Pacific Implement Company's office, Central School, Opera House, Fremont School and Library building this ticket was a winner from top to bottom and in precincts 7 and 8—the City Hall and Broadway School building, where polling places were established, the opposing candidates were in the majority by small majorities. Precinct No. 8 proved to be the largest in the city; 339 voters were registered there; 286 of them casting their ballots. Precinct No. 3, at the Central School, was the banner precinct for the winning ticket, the vote there being in the neighborhood of two to one against their opponents. It developed that City Clerk Merritt did not make a clean sweep of the polls and corral all the votes as was anticipated. The count showed that Lucien Wisser received two votes, H. O. Henderson one and Jacob J. Vetter one for city clerk. This left Merritt a majority of 1,143 over all. Edgar J. Hartung, by the official count, had a majority of 113 over Chas. A. Boege for city treasurer. At 9:30 o'clock the old board adjourned, leaving City Clerk Merritt the only man in authority. Mr. Merritt called the new members to order and called for the election of a temporary chairman. Trustee Stark was selected to fill the chair during the formation of a permanent organization, and immediately called for the election of a president.

This was proceeded by 250 pounds of baked fish which appeared after a couple of barrels of clam chowder had been consumed. All the side dishes necessary to complete the banquet had been provided by the chef. The Eagles' hall was much too small to hold the crowd consequently the tables were spread on the lawn surrounding the building which had been strung with wires and was brilliantly lighted with electricity. In addition to the 500 visitors 150 members of the local lodge were present, making a total of 650 who were fed at the tables. Among the men of note who were present from Los Angeles were General J. O. Royer who is a life member of the order, having been voted this distinction by his home lodge at Napa; Chief of Police Sebastian, Chief Ely of the fire department, Judge J. W. Summerfield, past worthy president of the Los Angeles Aerie, also Past Presidents Lyon and Muller, and President Robert McGraw. At the close of the banquet J. C. Burke, of Santa Ana, who is a member of Anaheim Aerie, was introduced and made an address of welcome to the visitors. Mr. Burke is city clerk of the county capital. He is one of the most brilliant orators in Orange county. His speeches are always to the point and full of matter worth hearing. On this occasion he sustained his reputation although he confined himself to questions pertinent to the occasion. Chief Sebastian made a short talk as well as several others of the visitors, but the chief response to Anaheim Lodge Holds Its First Annual Outing Sunday Three hundred picnicers, the merry party being composed of members of the Loyal Order of Moose, motored out to Sycamore Flats Sunday and spent the day eating barbecued meats and indulging in sports. It was the first annual picnic of the Anaheim lodge but a number of members from the oil wells, from Santa Ana and Los Angeles were present as guests of the local order. A kangaroo court, in which hitherto respectable members of society were tried and convicted of unsuspected crimes and misdemeanors, was among the amusing features of the day's entertainment. Harvey Tibbitts and Marcus Androda were in charge of the barbecue and furnished an unlimited supply of eats that was highly appreciated by the hungry picnicers. Company L, 3rd Battalion, 1st Regiment, Military Branch of the Order of Moose on Monday received the new uniforms and equipment which was recently ordered. There are twenty-five men in the company at present but this number, it is believed, will be greatly increased. The uniforms are neat and natty, being made of blue cloth with red and gold trimmings. The swords of the privates and sabres of the officers are beautiful specimens of art. J. D. Heitshusen went out to the desert country east of San Bernardino to look after his landed interests. He is sinking a well and goes to see what progress is being made. "Dick" says he has some of the best land in the country and after he gets a flow of water onto it he believes he will have a bonanza. E. L. Lamhofer was in town from Fullerton on Tuesday. Edgar J. Hartung, by the official count, had a majority of 113 over Chas. A. Boege for city treasurer. At 9:30 o'clock the old board adjourned, leaving City Clerk Merritt the only man in authority. Mr. Merritt called the new members to order and called for the election of a temporary chairman. Trustee Stark was selected to fill the chair during the formation of a permanent organization, and immediately called for the election of a president. Trustee Brunworth nominated John H. Cook. This nomination was seconded by Trustee Hamler and was unanimously endorsed by the board. On taking the chair demands for a speech were made but Mr. Cook stated that oratory was not one of his accomplishments. On assuming the chair he asked for a motion to adjourn which was made by Schneider. HOME AND CONTENTS CONSUMED BY FIRE Residence of J. J. Vetter Destroyed Early Monday Morning When the siren sounded the alarm of fire at 6 o'clock Monday morning few of the fire boys were in a position to answer promptly. Both carts were on the way in remarkably short time, W. E. Duckworth hitching onto the first with his auto and J. W. Wallop following with No. 2 in tow. All efforts to reach the scene of the fire in time to render any assistance were unavailing. The residence of Jake Vetter, in the extreme southern edge of town was ablaze. It was a long run from the city hall to the Vetter place and it was found that the nearest fire hydrant was at the corner of Kroeger H.

The fire originated from a defective chimney shortly after the stove had been started for the preparation of breakfast. As there was no phone in the house Will Vetter mounted his wheel and sprinted for the power house to give the alarm. This consumed time and the house, which was old and dry as tinder, was doomed before the siren sounded the alarm. The house and its contents were almost a total loss. Starting at an hour when most of the family were in bed and burning so rapidly little opportunity was given them to save anything. There was no insurance on either the house or its contents. Jake explained that for twenty years he had carried a policy but grew careless and permitted it to lapse a short time ago.

A. U. meet at Los Angeles Saturday. His time was 2m. 1-5s., which lowers the previous Southern California record. Syril Tipton, another Anaheim boy, who represented the University of Southern California, was second, but he was far in the rear of Beebe. Clarence did not enter for the mile race as he has been out of condition owing to a severe cold for some weeks, and he had determined on making a record in the 880 event. The mile was won by Annin, of Occidental. His REPUBLICANS TO ORGANIZE CLUB Senator Borah and Other Noted Speakers to Be Here During Campaign The Republicans of Anaheim and vicinity will hold a meeting at Odd Fellows' hall on Monday evening, May 4, for the purpose of organizing a club and preparing for an aggressive campaign. All persons who believe in the principles of the party are invited to attend and assist in the organization of the club. A special invitation is extended to the ladies, as their co-operation is desired. It is the intention of the club to engage prominent speakers during the campaign. United States Senator Borah has already been slated for an address here but the date is not yet announced. Others will probably be engaged before election day. The meeting was to have been held on next Monday evening, but on account of the board of trade banquet on that date, it has been postponed one week. MOTHERS' DAY Services in honor of Our Mothers will be held on Sunday, May 3, 1914, at the Presbyterian church, corner of Cypress and North Claudina streets. Mothers' Day is coming to be observed generally throughout the nation as the one day of the year set apart in which to touchingly respect and cherish the memories of those who have cared for us so tenderly through our earliest years. The Presbyterian Brotherhood will have charge of the services, and all men who have a desire to join in a service of respect to the motherhood of the nation or their own in particular, are cordially invited to be with us. The brotherhood especially desire the attendance as their guests of honor the mothers of the Mother Colony. THE CITRUS MARKETS The market on navels shows no material change over a week ago, and shippers are of the opinion that it will be at least a week or two before the markets are sufficiently cleaned up to warrant any renewed activity that will result in better prices, says the Fruit World. Shipments for the week totaled 1,520 cars of oranges, a decrease of 173 cars over last week's shipments. It is not expected that shipments will drop much below this average for the balance of this month as there are still plenty to go forward from Saturday. This time was just past which lowers the previous Southern California record. Syril Tipton, another Anaheim boy, who represented the University of Southern California, was second, but he was far in the rear of Beebe. Clarence did not enter for the mile race as he has been out of condition owing to a severe cold for some weeks, and he had determined on making a record in the 880 event. The mile was won by Annin, of Occidental. His time was 4m. 33.3s., which is eight seconds slower than Beebe's time at Stanford the previous Saturday. Had he entered for the mile he undoubtedly would have captured it with ease or forced the Occidental man to tear off a better record for himself. Webb, of Anaheim, won second in the 100-yard dash for grammar school students, having been defeated by Houston of Harvard academy for first place. Beebe's best time in the half mile is 1:58, only 6 seconds above the world's record made at the Olympic games at Stockholm. He has decided to give up either the mile or the half mile race and confine himself to one stunt. By a narrow margin of five inches Beebe lost the mile race to Berry of Redlands at the meet on the Stanford oval April 11, but the Anaheim boy was compelled to run thirty feet farther than his opponent and should have won by nearly ten yards. There were 37 entries for the race and it was necessary to start them in two lines. Positions were determined by lot and Berry was so fortunate as to draw the first line and an inside place, while Beebe was in the second line and on the outside. It was necessary therefore for him to run ten yards farther than Berry to strike the tape. No allowance was made for this difference. Berry did not enter for the race at Los Angeles Saturday, consequently Clarence passed it up and contented himself with capturing the 880 with a city block to spare.

Shipments for the week totaled 1,520 cars of oranges, a decrease of 173 cars over last week's shipments. It is not expected that shipments will drop much below this average for the balance of this month as there are still plenty of navels to go forward from the San Antonio and Ontario-Cucamonga districts to make up liberal shipments. While low prices have been ruling quite general so far this season, the growers and shippers are still firm in the belief that the latter part of the season will be the best. Reports from Tulare county state that the Valencias in that district are well sized, of excellent color and a bumper yield. The movement of Florida oranges is dwindling rapidly, and it is now estimated that an average of 90 per cent of the crop has been marketed. According to reports from all Florida districts, the fruit trees are covered with bloom and the prospects are for a bigger crop than ever next season. With foreign lemons selling lower than they have for years and weekly offerings very heavy, the general market condition on lemons is easy, with prices lower. Shipments of California lemons for the week have totaled 56 cars; and, until general conditions show some improvement, there is very little incentive to attempt to market California lemons in the eastern markets.
