CAMPAIGN FOR CLEANLINESS NOW ON CITY OFFICIALS, DETERMINED TO MAKE ANAHEIM FREE FROM POSSIBLE GERMS HEALTH ORDINANCE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED SAYS DR. TRUXAW The campaign against dirt, trash, debris and disease germs, and for a clean and immaculate town, is just in its infancy, but much has already been accomplished by Street Superintendent Sackett. Mr. Sackett is through with the alley sweeping, but after he has scraped and oiled the streets and eliminated all the weeds and vegetable growth in the gutters it will be up to the property owners and householders to clean up their premises and dispose of the accumulated tin cans and other discarded articles. City Health Officer Truxaw published a proclamation in last week's issue of the Gazette defining the duties of the property owners and giving extracts from the city ordinance covering the question of cleanliness. It is the intention of the doctor to enforce the provisions of this ordinance, and householders should lend assistance and help the officers to make Anaheim clean and free from disease germs. To begin with all buildings should be connected with the sewer. We have a splendid and expensive system here and it was the intention of its builders that every house in the city should be connected with it and the cess pool and privy vault eliminated. The pig iron industry is not the only example of the effect of the democratic tariff law. Employers and employees in industrial establishments the country over are feeling the force of a general depression. Readjustments made necessary by the new tariff law have caused a general slowing down of business. Reports from many industries indicate a business depression which have thrown thousands of men out of employment. That the unemployed are holding the present democratic administration responsible for present conditions is shown by the overwhelming republican victory in the seventh New Jersey congressional district, not long ago. In that district, republicans made the tariff the issue and the democrats accepted it. Evidently the unemployed of that district hold President Wilson and the administration's supporters responsible for bad industrial conditions for the president's popularity in his home state could not withstand opposition to the administration's policies. MRS. LAWRENCE ENTERTAINS Give Loara Parent Teachers and Sugar Factory Employees Good Time About forty-five of the members and friends of the Loara Parent Teachers were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. H. C. Lawrence on West Broadway on Saturday afternoon. Social conversation was indulged in, a sewing contest held, instrumental music contributed by several of the guests, and light refreshments were served on the lawn. All joined in saying they had a jolly time and hoped these social gatherings at the various ship quantities of foreign pig iron into our country when the whole industry here is operating at a loss of millions of dollars a month."

It is the intention of the doctor to enforce the provisions of this ordinance, and householders should lend assistance and help the officers to make Anaheim clean and free from disease germs. To begin with all buildings should be connected with the sewer. We have a splendid and expensive system here and it was the intention of its builders that every house in the city should be connected with it and the cess pool and privy vault eliminated. Section 32 of the ordinance says that "no owner, lessee, agent or occupant of any lot or premises in said city shall maintain or permit any privy vault on such premises to become filled to or above two feet of the top of said well or vault; also that all vaults shall be disinfected when they become offensive." As a later ordinance, passed since the establishment of the sewer system, prohibits digging other cess pools there is no doubt that many property owners who have been dilatory in the matter, should immediately make sewer connections. Onwers of stables where horses or cows are kept are also warned that no accumulation of manure larger than two cubic yards shall be permitted, and that all manure shall be removed at least once a week. All stables are expected to be kept as cleanly as possible, and no animal suffering from an infectious disease shall be kept within the city limits. Every householder shall keep his yard and premises in a clean and wholesome condition, and shall not permit the accumulation of manure, garbage, offal, rubbish, stagnant water, or filth of any kind. Throwing dead animals or parts of animals, or anything that can become putrid and create a smell, is also prohibited. Furthermore, every person is cautioned to keep the sidewalk in front of his premises in a clean and wholesome condition. These are only a few of the provisions of this ordinance, all of which it is determined by the city's health department shall be obeyed, therefore it behooves every person to join hands with the officials and make Anaheim clean. The penalty for failure to comply with the mandates of the board in this respect is pretty severe, as the ordinance winds up with the following: "Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this ordinance, or do any of the acts herein prohibited; and any person who shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of this ordinance, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a About forty-five of the members and friends of the Loarca Parent Teachers were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. H.

Social conversation was indulged in, a sewing contest held, instrumental music contributed by several of the guests, and light refreshments were served on the lawn. All joined in saying they had a jolly time and hoped these social gatherings at the various homes would be resumed in the fall. A carpet rag contest was the feature of the afternoon and when the judges finished carefully inspecting the rags done by the various ladies it was found that Mrs. Wallace of Lincoln avenue was first both in quantity done and in the quality of the word, while Mrs. Keys of Garden Grove road was awarded the consolation prize, the first prize being a very nice silver thimble and the consolation, a bag of rags to practice work. Musical numbers were thoroughly enjoyed during the afternoon and delicious refreshments of ice cream and cake were served on the spacious lawn, completing an afternoon long to be remembered. Mrs. Lawrence is an ideal hostess and one of our most valuable members and all present felt a keen touch of regret at the thought that she is so soon to leave us. On Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence entertained many of the former employees of the Los Alamitos Sugar Company, with whom Mr. Lawrence was associated for many years, and their families. Vocal and instrumental music was much enjoyed, as were games played in the yard, and after partaking of light refreshments all departed at a late hour, wishing they might have an opportunity to visit Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence in their new home after they move from West Anaheim.

W. A.

And in case any fine which may be adjudged by the court be not paid, the defendant shall be imprisoned at the rate of one day's imprisonment for each $2 of such fine, the entire term of such imprisonment not to exceed 90 days." WHAT THE TARIFF IS DOING A million dollars a month is what the pig iron industry in this country is losing, according to the report of John A. Penton, of Cleveland, secretary of the American Pig Iron Association. Many furnaces have shut down, he says, and plants are in the hands of receivers. Thousands of employees have suffered a cut in wages due to this condition and more reductions are to follow. "We have now confronting us one more hardship," says Mr. Penton, in his report, "in the shape of the knowledge that foreign countries, owing to the abolition of our tariff and because of their lower cost of production are going to be able to ship, and are even right now shipping and arranging to and threatening to shoot, and with knifing a resident of Delhi. W. A. Nelson is the man they attempted to kill, and he had nerve enough to take the gun away from the man who was flourishing it, knock down another, and bring the trio, well subdued, on the way to jail. Nelson lives in Delhi on a ranch, and has a private road. Yesterday the three Mexicans drove around the gate at the end of this road, and up to Nelson's home. Camarillo was driving. When they had gotten to the door-yard, Nelson told them to drive across, where they would do no damage, and get off his premises. Instead of doing so the men drove off in a diagonal direction, over a field of growing beets, and taunted Nelson. The latter followed the men, and when he had come to the buggy one of them jumped from the wagon and threatened Nelson with a revolver, saying he "would get him." Nelson grabbed the man, took the gun away from him and threw it to Ed. McClellan, who was near. The other men jumped from the wagon, and one of them attacked Nelson with a stilletto. Nelson grabbed the man's hand, receiving a slight cut on one of his fingers while getting the weapon from the fellow, then he promptly knocked the third one down, and this took all the fight out of them. Walter Heskey was a witness to the assault, but he did not take any part in the proceedings. Congress has generously appropriated $200,000 for the extermination of rodents in California. This fund is presumed to be used only in fighting rats and squirrels which carry germs and spread infectious diseases.

WILSON DEAD KENT HELD Garden Grove Man Who Fought With Rake, Faces Serious Charge I. O. Wilson, the Santa Ana real estate man, who was assaulted by Frank C. Kent at Garden Grove with a garden rake on May 13, is dead as the result of his injuries and Kent is now in the county jail facing a charge of murder. Wilson died at his home in Santa Ana Friday night. Kent lives a mile west of Garden Grove. Wilson has a ranch adjoining. The two men had a difference over the use of water in a tank in which each had a half interest. In an altercation on May 13, Wilson was struck with a garden rake. Kent was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He was held to answer on $500 bail, which he gave in cash. Thursday afternoon District Attorney West reported to Judge West that Wilson was about to die as a result of his injuries, and that Kent’s bail should be increased. The hearing on the matter was postponed until Friday morning when Kent with his wife and Attorney H. C. Head appeared in court. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel stated that Wilson’s physician had told him that Wilson had little chance of recovery, and even should he recover he will be unable to do any mental or physical work. He asked that the bond be raised to $2,500. The judge stated that a man found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon normal schools of the state are turning out teachers a great deal faster than vacancies occur. On top of the over-supply, the county board of education is going to hold its annual teachers’ examination. Those who want certificates to teach in this county, but who have not secured them, may do so by passing the examination that will be given during the week beginning on July 22. STATE JOBS OPEN The California State Civil Service Commission approves that applies. THE MAN TO WIN It is a good sign for the republicans that there is so much competition for the head of the state ticket. Some weeks ago there was not a candidate in sight and now the woods are full of them. The Wasp would like to see the nomination for governor given to some popular man in the Bay counties. This year, however, the nomination for governor should go to the south, for Los Angeles is the real battleground. The THE Suitorium "Everything for Men" Men's The judge stated that a man found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder may be sentenced to prison for not over 14 years. He pointed out, as showing the gravity of the charge, that the limit for manslaughter is 10 years. "I think the bail should be raised," said he, "not that there is danger of the defendant running away, not that he is presumed to be guilty, but because of the gravity of the charge, and the further factor of the condition of the man who is injured." The judge fixed the amount at $2,000. Kent was arraigned, and June 19 at 9:30 o'clock was set as the time for entering a plea. Wilson's death means that the charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder will be dismissed, and that Kent will be prosecuted on a charge of murder. Coroner T. A. Winbigler held an inquest Sunday over the remains of Wilson. The verdict, which was rendered after an autopsy had been made, was to the effect that Wilson had come to his death by blows from an implement known as a garden rake. The autopsy failed to disclose any organic disease which might have been a cause of death. There is no lack of school teachers in sight, for according to County School Superintendent R. P. Mitchell there are more job hunters than jobs. Some of the seekers come from the east; others are trying to get back into the harness again so that they may put themselves under the provisions of the state school teachers' pension law. One reason why there is an over-supply of teachers is that the normal schools of the state are turning out teachers a great deal faster than vacancies occur. On top of the over-supply, the county board of education is going to hold its annual teachers' examination. Those who want certificates to teach in this county, but who have not secured them, may do so by passing the examination that will be given during the week beginning on July 22.

Some were bleeding from broken horns, etc., and all of the beasts were in a most pitiable condition when Constable C. E. Jackson was sent out to take charge of the case. The cattle are the property of Price & Doyle, and came to the stock yards some time Friday night, and their condition was brought to the attention of G. A. Whidden, humane officer, and Dr. Clark, city health officer, early Saturday. The owners were not located, so the law had to step in and see what could be done. One of the animals had been killed in the cars before they were unloaded, and it was flayed Saturday, and the putrid carcass lay in the hot sun all Saturday and Sunday. Those who have seen the animals say that all are in the most pitiable condition. Charges will be preferred against those accountable for the creatures having been so misused, say the officials.

ROBERTS Jeweler At the Sign of the Big Clock WANT STATE HELP Physicians of California have prepared an initiative petition, the object of which, in the words of the circulators of the petition, which will be circulated about the state in the near future, is "To give the voters of the state an opportunity of deciding whether or not the State of California shall establish and maintain a system of sanitariums, dispensaries, hospitals and other agencies for the prevention of tuberculosis and the care and cure of persons affected with tuberculosis in the State of California. The law authorizes a bond issue of one million dollars to provide funds for establishing and maintaining said system and places the administration of said system under the state board of health." HATFIELD BOBS UP Water to order from the skies is offered to San Diego county by Rainmaker Charles M. Hatfield. In a communication to the city council recently, Hatfield stated that he would cause five inches of rain to fall in the Morena water shed between June and November, the so-called dry months, provided the city guarantee him the sum of $500. Further than this, Hatfield wants the municipality to guarantee him $1,000 for each additional inch up to ten inches. The matter came up in the form of a letter from the secretary of the Wide Awake Improvement Association in which it is stated that that organization indorses Hatfield's offer. "The sentiment of the club seemed to be," writes the secretary, "that no harm could come from giving Hatfield a chance to fulfill such a contract, and that if he were successful, it would be worth a great deal more than $10,000 to San Diego." It appears that Hatfield has a rain-producing secret of his own. His offer, however, has not created a sensation. HIT BY AUTO Vernon Wulff, son of H. W. Wulff of Villa Park, had a narrow escape Sunday afternoon when his motorcycle collided with an automobile that was being driven by Mr. Pustley of Fullerton. The mishap occurred on Prospect avenue south of McPherson at about 5 P.M. Wulff, with several other motorcyclists were returning, it is said, from a trip to Laguna. They met Pustley's car as he turned into a slightly used road a short distance south of Chapman avenue on Prospect. Pustley and Wulff reached the corner together and crashed as Pustley made the turn. The motorcycle rammed a hole through the auto's radiator, broke both lamps and bent a front fender. The motorcycle was demolished and young Wulff's escape was a miracle. He came through with comparatively little injury, receiving a sprained wrist and a nasty cut on the right ankle. His left side was also bruised. MODJESKA'S WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE Mrs. Felicite Modjeska, wife of Ralph Modjeska, civil engineer and son of the famous actress, filed suit Monday against her husband for separate maintenance, saying that she needed $5,000 to fight the divorce proceedings she said had been instituted against her in Portland. The petition asserts that her husband offered her $50,000, and later $80,000, if she would allow him to get a divorce without a contest. She declared that although he is worth $200,000 and has an annual income of $25,000, he reduced her allowance last month from $400 to $150, which she says is inadequate.
