CLUB ENDORSES NEEDHAM AND KNOWLAND
REPUBLICANS UNANIMOUS FOR THE TWO CANDIDATES AT MONDAY NIHGT'S MEETING
SPEAKERS WILL BE ENGAGED FOR NEXT REGULAR MEETING ON MONDAY, JULY 6
J. R. Knowland, of Oakland, for United States Senator, and J. C. Needham, of San Diego, for Congressman from the 11th district, received the unanimous endorsement of the Anaheim republican club Monday evening. A. P. Dresser, secretary of the county central committee, was the original Knowland booster, and J. W. Duckworth was the father of the Needham endorsement. As sentiment favoring sending men to Washington would assist in relieving California of the free trade blight was unanimous, there was no opposition to the endorsement of both men.
Mr. Duckworth made a short talk in advocacy of his motion. He said that while there was little doubt that the republican party would triumph in the coming election it must be remembered that over-confidence had ruined many good causes. The republicans are going to elect a governor, a congressman, a United States senator and a president but they must work together in order to accomplish it.
MARTIN AND MULLEN LOST IN FOG
Intrepid Aviators Bewildered by Mist and Forced to Land
After an hour spent fighting the thick blanket of fog that swirled in from the ocean near La Jolla, Glenn Martin and Lieut. Hollas Muller of the First Aero Corps, U. S. A., who started from Griffith Park aviation field, Sunday, for San Diego, in Martin's new aerial man-o-war, were forced to land in the foothills back of La Jolla late that afternoon.
Friends of the two men were alarmed Sunday evening when no word had been received from them. Every city and town along the route usually taken by birdmen between Los Angeles and San Diego was queried, but, after being reported as passing over Ocean-side and Del Mar, all further trace of the big air-craft was lost.
Early Monday morning Martin got in communication with his friends and announced that there had been no trouble with the new aeroplane but that in trying to avoid the dense fog that they encountered along the ocean below Del Mar he had lost his way.
Deciding that, by swinging inland he could go around and avoid the fog by entering San Diego from the back country, he changed his course and flew back toward the foothills. But here the fog was just as thick and in a few minutes all landmarks were erased by the eddying banks of gray mist. Not a thing could be seen on either side, for the shifting curtain of fog shut the two men and the big aero man-o-war away from the rest of the world. They decided to land and cautiously volplaning into the lower level, landed at a farm house, where they spent the night. They left for San Diego Monday morning, completing the trip in safety. Martin said yesterday that the engine worked perfectly throughout the trip.
SANTA ANA RACES
Mr. Duckworth made a short talk in advocacy of his motion. He said that while there was little doubt that the republican party would triumph in the coming election it must be remembered that over-confidence had ruined many good causes. The republicans are going to elect a governor, a congressman, a United States senator and a president but they must work together in order to accomplish it.
"The most important question confronting the people of this district at the next election," said he, "is a protective tariff. We have a man who is with us on this issue, a man who has consented to enter the race for congressman in this district, a man whom I helped to nominate for this office in 1898, and again in 1890. I move that this club endorse the candidacy of J. C. Needham. I was much afraid that Mr. Needham, when his name was first suggested, was going to refuse the nomination, but he has since consented to enter the race. We can elect our men this fall but we must not lose our opportunity by being too confident. I want it understood that I don't want an office myself but I expect to do all in my power to help my friends and the republican party. We must not only get busy at once but must keep busy throughout the campaign."
Mr. Duckworth's motion to endorse Needham was seconded by Cal Lester and it was carried without a dissenting voice.
A. P. Dresser, deputy county clerk and secretary of the county central committee, made a talk in favor of the candidacy of J. R. Knowland for senator. The two principal fights on our hands, said he, are for senator and congressman. We can worry along through another term of Holy Hiram's administration without suffering any material damage, but the election of men representing our interests, means dollars and cents to us. The people of the state will elect a United States senator just as they will a congressman. Samuel Shortridge, his opponent, is a good man, but he lacks experience in national affairs and could not be as effective as Knowland who is familiar with conditions and is now a power at the national capital. With Knowland and Needham at Washington California would have a pair of men who could accomplish something.
"The republicans at the county central committee meeting stepped a little forward in endorsing Mr. Needham," continued Mr. Dresser. "It is not the province of the committee to originate candidates but to elect them after they have been nominated. An a few minutes all landmarks were erased by the eddying banks of gray mist. Not a thing could be seen on either side, for the shifting curtain of fog shut the two men and the big aero man-o-war away from the rest of the world.

SANTA ANA RACES
Charles Wilson, driving a Mercer, was first in the free-for-all automobile race at the Santa Ana track Saturday, Gene Roe in a Ford taking second.
The light-car event was won by W. P. Baker in a Metz, with Gene Roe in a Ford second.
Frank Sawyer, riding an Excelsior, won the 15-mile motorcycle free-for-all, with Curly Thomas, on an Excelsior, second.

After the race, the management issued a statement saying that some cars had failed to enter because not ready. The races were confined to Orange county drivers. It is the intention of the management to put the track in better shape and give some good race meets in the future.
SULPHUR FOR POWDERY SCAB
On account of the possibility of infection with powdery scab, the department is now recommending all potato growers to treat their seed potatoes with sulphur. This is made expedient by the fact that infected seed potatoes have been shipped out of Maine, where powdery scab now exists. Recent tests justify the department's scientists in recommending a thorough dusting with flowers of sulphur after the potatoes have been cut as a precaution against the disease, but the treatment is by no means intended to take the place of formaldehyde as a general disinfectant. The department advises the use of both formaldehyde and sulphur.
Before cutting the potatoes should be soaked for two hours in a solution of one pint of formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water. They should then be allowed to dry quickly either in the open or while spread out on a clean floor. This is known to be effective against common scab and black leg, and should therefore be employed in all cases. Whether it is equally effective against powdery scab is doubtful, and for this reason the use of sulphur is strongly advised in addition. The potatoes should be cut first and her presentation cannot have been improved.Hedstrom, as the Northermer, who was suddenly his accustomed haunters the gaities of Parisian will, sustained the cessional style.

"The republicans at the county central committee meeting stepped a little forward in endorsing Mr. Needham," continued Mr. Dresser. "It is not the province of the committee to originate candidates but to elect them after they have been nominated. An Anaheim man was in the chair that day, and when an enthusiastic member moved to endorse Needham the chair saw the trend of sentiment and put the motion. Mr. Needham has now consented to stand for the nomination. He feels that he is very close to the head of the ways and means committee and if elected will eventually become its chairman."
Mr. Dresser further said that free trade democrats were exceedingly scarce in this region at the present time, and with a little judicious argument many of them could be brought into the fold. "In fact," said he, "Texas is the only free trade state in the Union, and the Texans grow a little wool and a few other things that need protection."
On motion of J. W. Duckworth, J. R. Knowland was endorsed for the United States senate.
J. A. Beck, a Los Angeles traveling man, made a short but pointed talk on conditions as he finds them throughout the state. He is selling pumping plants and said the farmers are so hard hit by the present tariff law that it is impossible to sell them anything.
It was decided to have speakers engaged for the next meeting of the club on the first Monday in July, and the secretary was instructed to advertise the same. An effort will be made to secure R. Y. Williams, Clyde Bishop, Joe Burke and possibly others.

RUN DOWN BY AUTO
Horace Henry, of Santa Ana, a man 65 years old, was run over by M. F. Smith Saturday evening and so badly injured that he had to be taken to the hospital. The man had his left wrist broken, and a very serious cut on the forehead.
The accident was said to have been unavoidable by those who saw it, as Smith was running slowly. Henry has apartments at the Waverly. It is not known whether he has any relatives or not.
The cut over the eye may have more serious results than was at first thought, according to the report of the physician in the case.

C. E. Walker, husband of the notorious Mollie, and who threatened to do great bodily harm to his better half, as well as to the police officers who had accumulated the evidence against him and his wife, was given a suspended sentence of 30 days by Judge Cox late Friday evening, and the man said he was going to obey the law hereafter, and especially the mandate which said he would have to leave the city.

COMEDY DRAMA PRESENTED BY SENIORS
ESMERALDA WELL RENDERED BY HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS FRIDAY EVENING
GRADUATING EXERCISES TO BE HELD AT AUDITORIUM ON THE EVENING OF JUNE 11
"Esmeralda," first on the list of public entertainments offered by the senior class of the Anaheim Union High School, was on the boards at the school auditorium Friday night. It was a comedy drama and Miss Veda Walker, under whose supervision it was staged, was particularly fortunate in selecting her timber for the various parts. Esmeralda, a child of the North Carolina hills, was exceedingly well impersonated by Miss Cora Davis. Miss Gladys Gervais, as Lydia Ann Rogers, the lady who ruled her household and all about her with a rod of iron appeared to be to the manner born and her presentation of the part could not have been improved upon. George Hedstrom, as the North Carolina farmer, who was suddenly yanked from his accustomed haunts and forced into the gaities of Parisian life against his will, sustained the character in professional style. Following is a complete cast:

WARNING AGAINST HOG CHOLERA CURES
Government Has Not Approved of Any Treatment Except Protective Serum
Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States government, has reached the Department of Agriculture.
Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name, are being sent out broadcast to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it appears as if the Department of Agriculture had received

MOUNT LASSEN IS VOMITING FIRE
First Volcanic Eruption in California in Fifty Years
Mount Lassen, in Tehama county, for 50 years or more silent, is now in a state of eruption and people living on the slopes and at the base are in a state of panic and scores are flying.
The first signs of the eruption were noticed Saturday night, but were believed then to be snow sliding on the hot springs and causing vapor.
Forest Ranger Abbey made a trip to the crater and learned the truth. A new crater 30 by 50 feet has been formed just north of the old crater and two lateral fissures have opened with smaller ones running down the side.
Boulders and rocks to the depth of three feet surround the crater. Ashes and sand are being thrown out of the crater and the action is stronger now than at any time since its activity began Saturday.
Huge clouds of steam are issuing from the fissures and the crater. People living 50 miles around the mountain can see the action plainly.
Mt. Lassen is in Tehama county, near the junction of Shasta, Lassen, Plumas and Tehama counties. Its altitude is 10,437 feet.
Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States government, has reached the Department of Agriculture. Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name, are being sent out broadcast to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it appears as if the Department of Agriculture had received reports from the state of Minnesota showing that the medicine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact the one report received by the department was an unofficial and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The department attaches no importance whatsoever to this statement. It has no reason to believe in the efficiency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any. Under certain conditions it urges farmers to protect their stock with antihog-cholera serum, but that is all.
In connection with this attempt it may be said that the medicine, which is now put forward as good for hogs, was advertised some time ago as a means of killing, tuberculosis, typhoid, and cancer germs, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. At that time it was asserted that the army was interested in it. As a matter of fact the army was no more interested then than the department of agriculture is now.
In view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impression is persistent and widespread, all hog owners are warned to communicate with the United States authorities before accepting as true any statement that the government recommends any treatment other than the serum already mentioned.
Detroit and Kansas City have both adopted the Ford as the car for use by city officials who are compelled to get about the city. Kansas City's officials were equipped with heavy cars but all were sold at auction recently and replaced with Fords. The reaosn given by the city officials for selling the big cars was that they cost altogether too much to operate. From the statement of the comptroller it seems that the Fords are giving entire satisfaction.
A vertebra in his back broken by a fall from a motorcycle, Roy Whitaker of Santa Ana was the only victim of the automobile race meet Saturday. Whitaker was trying out a machine in the forenoon before the race for John Wilcox. Striking a rut at high speed, the front wheel of the machine collapsed, throwing Whitaker to the ground. It was found that a vertebra was broken in his back, and he was removed to the hospital. The fracture has caused no pressure on his spinal cord as yet, and it is hoped that he will recover.
Suit has been brought by J. L. Abott against G. A. Zang, Mait Smith and Roy Smith, all of Brea. Abott alleges that he purchased the pool room business of Zang and Smith, at Brea, with the understanding that Zang and Smith would not engage in the pool room business as long as he, Abott, conducted the business. He alleges that Zang and Smith are now running a pool room directly opposite his place and that they engaged Roy Smith to run their place in order to hide the real ownership. Abott wants an injunction brought against Zang and Smith. Clyde Bishop is the attorney for the plaintiff.
California's foreign competitors in the production of olive oil are making good progress in getting into the market under the provisions of the Underwood tariff bill, which certain democrats in California are defending. True, they have only had six months in which their agents could work, but during this short period they have increased the number of gallons imported from 289,743, to 448,886, an increase of 54 per cent. The importations of edible olive oil shows an increase in gallons of 16 per cent. A 36 per cent increase is shown in the importation of olives.
Foreign fig growers have increased importations 16 per cent.

AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG CLOCK
A LENGTHY RIDE
Ending a horseback ride from beyond the Rockies over the southern route, Bernard Davis, whose home is in South Dakota, has arrived at Fullerton Saturday and will visit his brother, R. E. Davis, of the Fullerton Ice Company. Impaired health has been greatly benefited by the outdoor trip, and Mr. Davis expects to make the return journey in the same way. He came by way of Texas and the southern route, taking several months for a leisurely trip. The pony which he rode across the desert, and a burro, on whose back a pack of supplies was carried, were left at San Bernardino, the last short lap of the journey being made by train.
When Mr. Davis was at Calexico last week the mercury was at 128 degrees. After his experience with weather conditions in the long trip across the desert, he is enjoying the climate here, which is rather cool at present to be satisfactory to those who are anxious for sunshine and summer.

KIDNAPPED THE GROOM
H. B. Mann, of Whittier, was a very unwilling guest at a hotel in Fullerton Thursday night. Not that Mann had any objections to the quality of hospitality offered, but he didn't want to stay. Fact is, he thought he had very important reasons for wanting to be at home by his own quiet fireside. But his desired and previous plans for this event were interfered with by cruel fate and the schemes of his jovial friends.
For a few hours earlier, after wedding bells announced his marriage to the nicest—or, at least, one of the nicest—young ladies in Whittier, Mann fell into the hands of his intimate friends and was abducted. Despite his vehement protest, he was bundled into an auto and whirled away to Fullerton where he was given a bedroom in a hotel. He made his escape during the night and hiked back to Whittier.
A Mexican woman, who would not give her name, was arrested by Officer Ryan and City Marshal Jernigan at Santa Ana Saturday evening. She was creating a scene in front of Clune's theater, and was divesting herself of her clothing when the officers appeared. She was hurried to the city jail, but apparently did not care for those quarters, for she demolished the windows in the front cell, in a frantic effort to get out. She was then placed in the strong room, but raised such a disturbance that she had to be removed to the county jail and put in the padded cell. She finally went to sleep, after having awakened everyone in the institution, who howled to have her put down a well.
Mrs. A. H. Witman and son have been visiting friends in San Diego.

On Thursday next contracts will be let for paving four more streets, and owing to the extent of the work it is anticipated that many bids will be filed and the figures shaved to the lowest point possible.
The first of these four streets to be paved is Lincoln avenue, in order to complete connections with the county highway. The next in line for the work is North Lemon street, the third South Claudina, and the last North Philadelphia. Should these jobs be secured by different contractors the work on all of them will proceed at the same time, but it is most probable that one firm will secure the contract for all of them.

APPROPRIATE
There is a certain lawyer whose quick wit is said never to desert him either in the court room or elsewhere. Not long ago a client entered his office and, throwing back his coat, exclaimed irritably:
"Why, sir, your office is as warm as an oven."
"Why shouldn't it be?" asked the lawyer, smilingly. "It is here that I make my bread."
FOOLISH EITHER WAY
"I'll bet she will," began the rash youth.
"Don't!" interrupted his older and wiser companion. "Don't bet that she will ever do anything. You can never tell what a woman will do."
"But," protested the young man, "I was going to bet that she would do the unexpected."
"Don't!" repeated the elder earnestly. "Even that is no safe bet."
