NEW CITY HALL PLANS TO BE ADOPTED TRUSTEES HELD SPECIAL MEETING LAST NIGHT TO CONSIDER THE SEVERAL PLANS BANNERS STRETCHED ACROSS BUSINESS STREETS GROWING TOO NUMEROUS TO SUIT Three sets of drawings for the new city hall were submitted Thursday night to the board of trustees and were laid over for consideration at a special meeting. At the regular meeting of the board plans will be adopted and steps toward calling a bond election will immediately follow. The architects presenting drawings to the board are Eugene Durfee of this city, Eley & Hawley and F. Opp of Santa Ana. All will be given due consideration, and one of the three will probably be adopted. The drawings of Mr. Durfee were submitted to the board some weeks ago and in accordance with certain suggestions relative to the location of the offices of the city clerk and the tax collector, were modified. These most important offices are placed on the ground floor, the clerk occupying the corner room on Center and Claudina streets. Persons having business with these officials will not be compelled to climb a long stairway to reach them. Mr. Durfee's building is a beautiful one and evidently impressed the members of the board as fitting and suitable for the needs of the city government. It covers all the space from the east wall of the present city hall to Claudina street, and that he can save the city money on its fuel bill and consented to have his statement of account laid over. Application of the German American bank for a two-inch water connection and meter for fire protection caused considerable discussion relative to the change. There are several two inch connections in the city, the owners of the building paying a minimum of $3.00 per month. It was decided finally to put in no meters where the pipe is to be used only for fire fighting, and the owners will be charged only the cost of connection. The pipe will be closed with a sealed valve, to be opened only in case of fire. The fire department was granted permission to inaugurate a better system of signals in case of fire. The city is divided into four wards and heretofore the siren has announced only the ward in which the fire is raging. These wards are large and the firemen can only be guided in locating the fire by the smoke—if they can see any. Hereafter each ward will be divided into four sections and after the siren has announced the ward the curfew whistle will chime in and designate the section. The streets dividing the sections will be Sycamore on the north, Olive on the east, Santa Ana on the south and Citron on the west. City Marshal Kellenberger was granted permission to employ an assistant during the tax collecting period. SUPERVISORS ACT ON MANY THINGS Another County Road Granted in the Anaheim District The petition of J. W. Hansard, et al, for a county road in Anaheim road district was granted by the Supervisors September 21. MAX NEWS WRITE WARN Continued... SUPERVISORS ACT ON MANY THINGS Another County Road Granted in the Anaheim District The petition of J. W. Hansard, et al., for a county road in Anaheim road district was granted by the Supervisors September 21. The viewers' report on the petition of Thomas B. Welch, et al., for a county road in Fullerton district, was accepted, and the petition granted. The Clerk was directed to notify all persons who had subscribed to the pavement of Bradford avenue, to make their payments immediately to the county treasurer. All bids for the grading of Carbon Canyon road were rejected and the work ordered done by the road commissioner of Fullerton road district. All bids for equipment of well at county farm were referred to Supervisors Leck and Struck until Oct. 7, 1914, at 11 A.M. The auditor was directed to draw a warrant in favor of Nicholls-Loomis company for $323.04 on the highway improvement fund, due O. L. Thompson from Withers & Crites. The bid of Mercereau Bridge & Construction company of $7603.00 for the construction of San Juan creek bridge was accepted. The Clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the construction of Trabuco creek bridge, bids to be opened Oct. 7, 1914, at 11 A.M. Pursuant to law, the Board fixed the tax rate of Orange county at $1.05 inside of cities, and $1.45 outside of cities. School rates and district rates were fixed as required by law. The Board adjourned to Oct. 6, 1914 at 10 A.M. SCHOOL MONEY APPORTIONED Tuesday County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell made the first quarterly apportionment of school funds on the basis of $300 per teacher. The sum of $60,750 is distributed among the grammar school districts and $1,945.98 among the high schools. The apportionment by districts follows: Amount. Alamitos $300 Anaheim 5,400 Bay City 300 Bolsa 600 Buena Park 600 Centralia 600 Commonwealth 300 Cypress 300 Deilin 900 Diamond 300 El Modena 1,200 El Toro 300 Fairview 300 Fountain Valley 600 Fullerton 3,600 Supervisors Act on Many Things I had the thunder-cloud risk and noticing the fall of the military armor and the possible travel on the railroad mostly owned by concluded to cut my quarters at my morning of April had changed over with difficulty securing cars filled with the stations on account parking, their free paying good-bye to banus, sweetheart where could be his khine? And later the two most songs in Germany the cars, every which tears in the eyes mothers, wives, hearts, a final class father, brother and command "All one of our currents of their destinations of the trains, so lions alike, single khine." These scars every station, cigarettes, beer, into the cars three doors, flags fly on one thought peculiar heart, to fight this coming war while whole of Europe Germany, with what proven up to date time from August day has passed victories of the Germanies. Just now however, the bells of Wittstock are no bration of the great Russian army at Gansburg in the Prairie where the Rus cross the fronted and to be driven with heavy losses equipment, cannot ever since war German army has port but victories mur, Longary; M latter place the totally defeated weep is expected next few days long letter and Belgium der the control of it. It is very well that on account of cables by the Engle pointing the way to headquarters in the Odd Fellows building, but denied the privilege to the business house for private advertising. All political parties will be permitted to swing up their signs but individuals are debarred. That dip in the roadway on North Los Angeles street at Chartres, is to be eliminated. It has been a source of annoyance to autotists ever since the street was paved. The board instructed City Engineer Steward to prepare specifications for a culvert crossing Los Angeles street and to level up the street. Trustee Cook wanted a similar dip on West Center near the Fremont school removed. This will probably be taken up later. Building permits were granted to the following: To J. J. Vetter, frame residence on Kroeger street. Cost $1000. To J. A. Clark, garage on South Claudina street. Cost $100. To U. S. Amack, frame residence on Pythias avenue. Cost $1400. Application for the alteration of a building on North Los Angeles street within the fire limits, belonging to Charles Carroll, was denied. The alterations had already been made but the board did not consider it wise to authorize repairs on wooden structures inside the fire limit. It was fitted up for temporary occupancy while a new building is being erected. The bill of the Southern Counties Gas company for gas furnished at the power house during the month was held up for future consideration. Manager Todd of the gas company is making tests of the relative cost of gas and fuel oil for use in the municipal furnaces, and proposes to furnish gas cheaper than the cost of oil. The first test failed as the gas bill was larger than the cost of oil.

Allogethers from being a sleepy poor country town of 50 years ago, it is today a hustling factory center with well paved streets and sidewalks, a fine little park in the center of the city, ornamented with a fountain, and two very fine monuments, one of them dedicated to the memory of the city's sons fallen in the war of 1870-71, and the other to the memory of Kaiser Friedrich, father of the present Emperor, Leaving Ellrich, after visiting my mother's grave at Liebenrode, a village a few miles from Ellrich, where my family moved to, my father being installed as pastor there, I next took train through the Harz mountains to Hannover, to meet our old friend, Fred Hartung, who is so well and favorably remembered by the older residents of Anaheim, being a brother of our esteemed townsman John Hartung, and Mrs. Hartung, who as you know I met at Berlin, where we staid together for nearly two days. Arriving at Hannover I was met by Fred Hartung at the depot, and after locating my room at a hotel went to his house with him where I met Mrs. Fred Hartung, who most cordially received me, and at a splendid dinner we discussed Anaheim, present and past. Intending to stay at Hannover about a week, I can not say enough of the untiring efforts of Fred Hartung and Mrs. Hartung to make my stay at Hannover always to be remembered by me with the greatest pleasure. Friend Fred, who is about as fine looking a gentleman as anybody has the great fortune to meet, now took me in hand and showed me Hannover inside and outside, and certainly it is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen yet in Germany, its old and new streets being equally clean and attractive. Its surroundings, parks, esplanades, etc., are simply grand. To describe them more particularly would take too much of your valuable space. It now being the 31st of July, I had the first indication of the thunder-cloud rising over Germany, and noticing the feverish preparations of the military authorities at Hannover and the possibility of stopping all travel on the railroads, which are sinking of two German cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers, and heavy damage to two English warships. Most of the German sailors and marines were saved. This is the ONLY reverse Germany has suffered so far during this war. Yours as ever M. NEBELUNG. Mr. Nobelung forwards the following synopsis of bulletins referring to engagements during the war. August 7—French army corps and one division from Belfort at Muhhausen, Alsace, completely beaten.

WANTS ALL DOGS LICENSED Alta Shock Absorber Saves Springs and makes car ride easy Come In and See them Central Garage and Machine Shop Cox & Burkhard, Props 515 E. Center St. WANTS ALL DOGS LICENSED County Physician Wehrly thinks there are too many stray dogs running around over the country. It is his opinion that some method should be adopted whereby dogs should be licensed in the county as they are now licensed in most of the municipalities, by which method it is possible for officers to periodically kill off a lot of worthless curs. The theory of the plan is that a dog that is not worth licensing is not worth keeping. Monday the county physician stated to the supervisors that there had been a number of rabies cases in this county recently. Four or five persons have been bitten by dogs with the disease. He said steps should be taken to reduce the menace. His plan of demanding a license fee was referred to the district attorney's office for an opinion, to be ready for the board by October 7. ASKS FOR DAMAGES Asking judgment on the ground of fraud, Adelie and Julia Vanderbeke have brought suit against A. M. Kligens and her brother, J. C. Williams, a realty dealer. The plaintiffs want the court to set aside a $250/mortgage. It is declared in the complaint that on May 11, 1911, the plaintiffs bought eight acres of land at Anaheim through Williams as agent, from Helen Kordt, and say they took William's word for the price. He said it was $3750. It is alleged that Helen Kordt received but $3600, and paid Williams his commission. The complaint states that Williams "slipped in" a second mortgage of $250 in favor of his sister, Mrs. Kiggens, with the intention of himself making the extra $250. For the plaintiffs, Attorneys Tipton & Cailor of Anaheim ask that the mortgage be set aside. WILL DEMAND HEAVY DAMAGE C. C. Chapman Will be Asked to Pay $35,000 to Injured Workman Attorney Lee A. Daniel of Santa Ana stated that the filing of a petition by G. W. Hilder for guardianship of his brother-in-law, Earl M. Robinson of Fullerton means that an action for $35,000 damages is to be brought against C. C. Chapman, the well known and 3 cavalry divisions in 3-day battle near Gilgenberg defeated. August 29—West of Helligoland 2 English destroyer fleets attacked by two German cruisers and two German torpedo destroyers. The cruisers Mainz and Coler sunk probably also the two torpedo boat destroyers. Heavy damage done to English fleet. August 31—30,000 Russians, among them many high officers, taken by the German army at Tannenburg and Orlenburg, East Prussia as prisoners. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL ANAHEIM, CAL. freight handling. In addition to coaching their brethren of the Santa Fe, they also give information to shipers when asked to do so. The local Santa Fe agent, through this school, is kept advised about modern methods of handling shipments, and requests for information made to him by patrons are granted promptly. If the agent is not familiar with the problem submitted to him, he passes it on to a transportation inspector who will furnish the information desired. More than 100 representatives of the Santa Fe, from all divisions of the system, are holding a conference in Pueblo this week for an extension of this work, which was started five years ago. At that time the company was paying annually into its loss and damage fund three per cent of its earnings. As a result of a vigorous campaign, the annual loss and damage payment has been reduced to a fraction over one cent, which not only helps the company's finances, but also saves a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. Upon invitation from the company, shippers gave the movement hearty support by, using better containers and exercising more care in the preparation of shipments for transportation. While the Santa Fe has not departed from its policy of paying legitimate loss and damage claims promptly, it has adopted another policy of ascertainting the causes of such claims, and finding the causes, eliminating them. and to be driven back in disorder with heavy losses of lives, prisoners, equipment, cannons, flags, etc. In fact ever since war actually began the German army has had nothing to report but victories, such as Liege, Namur, Longary, Maubeuge. At the latter place the English army was totally defeated with heavy losses, soerp is expected to fall in the next few days, long before you get this letter and Belgium is now placed under the control of the German army. It is very well known in Germany that on account of the control of the cables by the English, America as well as France, England and Russia have been flooded with reports of victories by the allies over Germany, NONE of which it true as you will know by this time. So far the German and Austrian armies have not lost a single battle, notwithstanding their reports to the contrary. Today Germany stands shoulder to shoulder as one man, determined to win at all hazards, and win they will, as they are fighting against heavy odds for their very existence. All reports of Berlin being in a state of anarchy and revolution are false. Berlin today is one of the quietest and most orderly cities on the continent. The Kaiser is with his army in the west and his six sons are fighting the same as any other German officers. The Empress is travelling around Germany visiting the various hospitals, looking after the welfare of the troops wounded in battle. Enclosed I give you a list of the German engagements and victories. It I possibly can get through by way of Amsterdam, Copenhagen or Sweden. I shall possibly arrive home by the end of September, in the mean time regards to all friends. If possible will send you another letter before I leave Germany. This may not reach you before the next four weeks as I have to send it open for the inspection of the military authorities. At present I am about as much a prisoner of war as any body on account of the Hamburg and Bremen lines not being operated. Just now a telegraph is made public that the German fleet (or a portion of it) ran into a superior English fleet in the Channel during a heavy fog and an engagement followed resulting in the WILL DEMAND HEAVY DAMAGE C. C. Chapman Will be Asked to Pay $35,000 to Injured Workman Attorney Lee A. Daniel of Santa Ana stated that the filing of a petition for G. W. Hilder for guardianship of his brother-in-law, Earl M. Robinson of Fullerton means that an action against C. C. Chapman, the well known Fullerton orange grower. Robinson's suit will be based upon injuries received by him several months ago. At that time Robinson, who is 10 years of age, was employed in Chapman's packing house dumping oranges into a grader. According to Robinson's statement, Chapman instructed him to leave his position and go to another part of the packing house and move an electric motor. The motor weighed about 20 pounds and was situated on a floor covered with oil. Robinson attempted to move the motor when his feet slipped on the floor, and he fell over backward to a concrete floor. The motor had been dislodged. It also fell and an edge of it struck Robinson on the forehead, breaking his skill. A piece of skull two inches and a half long and some of the boy's brains were removed by the physicians. Robinson was unconscious for eight days. When the complaint is filed, as it will be soon, it will be alleged that the injuries caused a permanent disfigurement and possible permanent mental weakness. The Santa Fe Railway company has a school of instruction in progress the year around for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of its freight service. The pupils are station agents, depot employees, trainmen and others having to do with the transportation of freight. The teachers are experts, known as transportation inspectors, who act under the instruction of the general superintendents. The inspectors are trained in all the arts and sciences which spell safety in helps the company's finances, but also saves a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. Upon invitation from the company, shippers gave the movement hearty support by using better containers and exercising more care in the preparation of shipments for transportation. While the Santa Fe has not departed from its policy of paying legitimate loss and damage claims promptly, it has adopted another policy of ascertainting the causes of such claims, and finding the causes, eliminating them. GOLD IN A WELL While digging for water in a well nine and one-half miles southeast of Victorville, Stansell and Hill have struck a ledge of gold-bearing ore that assays so rich that the shaft may be worth more as a mine than if it had struck the anticipated flow of water. Stansell was in San Bernardino filling mining claims to cover the property and left samples of the ore at the chamber of commerce. It was encountered at a depth of 125 feet, and the samples assayed gave returns of $300 per ton. Ore sacks have been taken to the ranch and the ore is being sacked and will be hauled to Victorville to be sent to mill or smelter. Stansell reports that several tons of ore can be taken out and sacked, with what work has already been done at the bottom of the well.

After nearly two weeks tour of San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, Captain John D. Fredericks, republican nominee for governor, left Los Angeles Saturday night for San Francisco, from which point he will start his northern campaign. Conferences with Francis V. Keesling, chairman of the republican state central committee will occupy the time of the republican standard-bearer in San Francisco on Monday. Tuesday he preceded to Reka to begin his tour of the north. He is scheduled to stump Siskiyou, Shasta, Colusa, Butte and Yuba counties during this week. Next Saturday night he will speak at Sacramento. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Fredericks. "The splendid receptions given me in the south," Fredericks said before leaving, "convince me that the people of California desire a return to republican principles. They do not want a third party in this state any longer." "No more convincing proof of that is necessary than the great Republican registration. Nearly 500,000 electors of this state, by registering their faith in the republican party, cast the defeat of Hiram Johnson next November. North and south are united; and the issue is plain. Republicanism will triumph by one of the largest majorities ever accorded the party in California." During the time that Captain Fredericks is in northern California the republican county central committees of the southern counties will perfect their respective organizations. The party leaders here are sanguine of the result but all of them point out that over confidence must not be permitted to let any republican worker grow indolent in his or her effort for the party. Telegraphic advices last night from the north state that Fredericks has received an ovation everywhere. His election is predicted by 200,000 majority. Geta 15 Years. R. Ontiveras was sentenced to fifteen years in San Quentin for killing Primitivlo Gebarro at Dyer last April. Sentence was passed Thursday by Judge West. The man was found guilty of murder in the second degree, under which the sentence could not have been less than ten years. Jose Ontiveras, brother of the condemned man, was present when Gebarro was killed, and last week was tried for murder. The jury failed to agree. Jose's next trial is set for November 17.
