QUEEN VIVIAN IS GROWNED WITH CEREMONY Under a canopy formed by two magnificent palm trees in the lawn of Clem Amberg on Claudina street at 8:15 o'clock Tuesday evening, Queen Vivian was crowned and vested with the rulership of the carnival. One thousand people had assembled within the enclosure between Center and Broadway, and the Anaheim band was discoursing a popular strain, when the bugle announced the approach of her majesty and escort. The music ceased abruptly when the royal party appeared and ascended the throne which had been erected under the two palms. The queen's procession was headed by two guards, Morris Martenet and Edward Backs. Her attendants were Misses Henrietta Schnidler, Lucy Ziegler, Elsa Meinecke, Emma Frahm, Sadie Friend and Fern Horton. Her pages were Elsa Ziegler and Ursula North. The flower girls were Olga Heithusen and Virginia Noll, and little Miss Nernie Noll was the crown bearer. Rev. David Todd Gillmor was chos- decorated trucks, the oldest models shown, the most unique automobiles, the auto containing pioneers whose ages aggregated the largest total, and the auto carrying the oldest pioneer. The carnival grounds were opened yesterday at 2 o'clock. The amusements seen there consist of a huge Ferris wheel; $10,000 galloping horse carrousal or old country style merry go round, Ocean wave, Topsy turvy land, Igorote village of twelve head hunting natives of Upper Luzon in the Philippines, Elizabeth the "living doll" Nettle, the fat woman, weighing over 600 pounds and she looks it too, Ishka Bibble house, Trip to Mars, Modern cabaret show, and big circus side show containing glass blowers, Arabella the baby orang outang, Punch and Judy, sword swallower and magicians and a variety of other attractions. There are two free acts with the each day, afternoon and evening. carnival which will perform twice Blimbe and Rolfe, and the Swavilla brothers are top notchers in every way and furnish excellent entertainment.

Pa- up it paraphenena pulled out of to peleted five jobs which had been erected under the two palms. The queen's procession was headed by two guards, Morris Martenet and Edward Backs. Her attendants were Misses Henrietta Schnidler, Lucy Ziegler, Elsa Meinecke, Emma Frahm, Sadie Friend and Fern Horton. Her pages were Elsa Ziegler and Ursula North. The flower girls were Olga Heilthusen and Virginia Noll, and little Miss Nernle Noll was the crown bearer. Rev. David Todd Gillimor was chosen to crown the queen and he delivered a neat little speech, appropriate to the occasion. He said Anaheim had been founded in a dream but the dream came true. The world had no place for a dream and we are here tonight to disprove it. Fifty-seven years ago Hansen and Frohling purchased the site on which Anaheim now stands for $2330. Today the city clerk informs us that the same site is assessed at $2,275,000. The dream of those ploneers was realized and we are reaping the benefits. In the earlier days of our history the people of Anaheim found it necessary to build fences around the town to ward off the roaming cattle and prowling rabbits. Today Anaheim has no walls and no gates therefore I cannot hand the key of the city to our queen but I can extend the open hand. Her rule during the week will not be one of tyrany and fear, but of free rein to amusement and sports. Mr. Gillimor then placed the crown on the head of the queen and the audience saluted and cheered, while the band began to play. But the music was once more stopped by the blast of the bugle, and the two candidates for matrimony, accompanied by Judge Howard ascended the steps and took up positions by the side of the throne. After delivering a homily on the duties of married persons and warning the youthful couple 'hat the pathway of wedded people wasn't always strewn with primroses and roses without thorns, the Judge launched into the usual ceremony. The groom was so exceedingly willing and over anxious that he answered "yes" at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of each sentence propounded by the justice, and even assisted the bride when it came her turn to answer. Judge Howard deviated somewhat from the stereotyped ceremony at the wind-up. "With the permission of our gracious queen, and in accordance with the authority vested in me by the law of the state, I declare you A warrant was issued the first of the week for the arrest of Prof. Burgfeld, profrietor of the Adelheid bath and furnish excellent entertainment. Arrangements are being made for a single, double and triple parachute drop each day from a captive balloon which is to be brought here for the carnival. This afternoon at, 2 o'clock the fraternal, benefit and patriotic societies of Orange county will march in a parade which promises to be a notable affair. Already the lodges of the adjoining communities are engaged in building floats and drilling their members for the occasion. Prizes are to be awarded, the organization turning out the largest number of members largest percentage of members, largest number of present officers, largest number of past officers, oldest past officer, best float, best band, best drum corps and the lodge showing by its charter that it is 'the pioneer organization of Orange county.' The Elks of Santa Ana and many local organizations are among those who have responded to their invitation of the committee. Tomorrow will be Orange county day. In the afternoon the grand ploneers' parade will take place and in the evening there will be a banquet for the ploneers of Southern California the oBard of Trade being the hosts. The parade will take place at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the line will be made up largely of floats of Orange county civic and commercial organizations and firms of Anaheim and other communities. A large list of entries has already been made. Prizes will be awarded the best floats, oldest ploneers and for several other features that have not been announced. A program of games and freak races will be held after the parade and the ploneers will be escorted through the Midway attractions, and will be the guests at a reception given in their honor by Her Majesty, the Queen. Saturday is everybody's day and the evening is Hallowe'en. A monster outdoor Hallowe'en party has been scheduled for this evening as a grand windup to a grand week. A pumpkin parade and horribles are scheduled. Invitations have been sent to all the towns in the country inviting the populace "to come to Anhelm's 57th birthday Hallowe'en party." A Mardi Gras ball will close the carnival. The L. A. Park up it paraphenomenal pulled out of topleted five jobs California.

"With the permission of our gracious queen, and in accordance with the authority vested in me by the law of the state, I declare you man and wife, and may the Lord—." The balance of his sentence was lost amid the plaudits of the multitude, which roundly cheered the bride and threw congratulatory bouquets at the groom. The bride was Miss Beulah Goodwin, and the bridegroom Charles Gregory, both of the El Modino region. As soon as they could escape from the crowd, they disappeared, but took with them the handsome bedroom set offered by the committee of the board of trade. As soon as the wedding party disappeared Queen Vivian, attended by her escort, made a triumphal march around the enclosure, once more ascended the throne and declared the ball open. Then "there was a sound of revelry, and bright the lamps shone oe'r fair women and brave men," Hundreds of young people tested the asphalt pavement and danced the tango, the turkey trot, the maxixe, the two-step and the gold old fashioned waltz until midnight. Myriads of colored lights shown over the enclosure, and the spreading branches of the palms and shade trees formed a beautiful canopy under which the many dancers tripped until a late hour. Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock the pagen of decorated automobiles and vehicles was held. Many beautifully decorated autos and buggies were in line. Prizes were awarded the best A warrant was issued the first of the week for the arrest of Prof. Burgfeld, profletor of the Adelheid bath house charging him with assault and battery. Arthur S. Rolfe, manager of the skating rink is the complainant. Rolfe's young son was taking treatment at the baths, and that gentleman states that he ventured to make a suggestion relative to the baths which the Professor appeared to consider as a reflection on his judgment. At any rate Rolfe says he assaulted him with foot and fist. He kicked his shins, poked him in the back, punched his head and otherwise maltreated him. Mr. Rolfe swore out a warrant for the arrest of the Professor, but his trial has not yet been held. About fifty cars of tomatoes have been shipped from the Fullerton district this season, leaving about 75 cars to ship east. The price has averaged $15 a ton to the growers. The crop is excellent, but the market is not active at present. In addition to these eastern shipments, thirty carloads have been shipped out to the local canneries at $8 a ton. A Hollowe'en social was held at the Masonic hall Monday night. A large crowd was present. Dan Moody, a former well known resident of this city was in town yesterday from San Diego. Mr. Moody resided here 40 years ago, and is well remembered by many old timers as an attimable citizen. ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM KEEPS IN LINE WITH PROGRESS NEARLY HALF A MILLION SQUARE FEET OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT RECENTLY COMPLETED MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE SHORTLY SPENT IN NEW BUILDINGS Nothing emphasizes the development, progress and prosperity of a town so much as a splendid system of paved streets, and there is no town of equal size in the state that is forging ahead more rapidly in this respect than Anaheim. There are knockers in this as well as other towns, who rose up in opposition to every move in this direction, but their efforts to block the wheels of progress were extremely feeble, and they were defeated in every instance by the heavy majority of the property owners who believe in civic betterment. The L. A. Paving company loaded up it paraphenalia last Sunday and pulled out of town after having completed five jobs of the best paving in Splendid Achievements In Every Undertaking by Standard Bearer There is possibly nobody in California, who is not familiar in some degree with the character and personality of Captain John D. Fredericks District Attorney of Los Angeles, and his splendid achievements in office are household words in the city of Los Angeles, as they are in every home in this state. For the past sixteen years Captain Fredericks has guarded the peoples twelve years as principal and the first four years as deputy. In all that time his vigorous representation has known no cessation of vigilance, whether it was the prosecution of a murder, or the punishment of charlatans and fakers bent on swindling the public, to the infliction of swift justice on those who employ physical means to prey upon society, or in advising the board of Supervisors how best to conserve the rights of the people against predatory interests. Possessed of unbounded energy, keen in his preceptions, of great tenacity of purpose, with ample courage of conviction, John D. Fredericks has never hesitated to do his duty, whatever the cost. Tolerant, just, merciful rather than merciless, Capt. Fredericks has broadened and mellowed; instead of becoming narrow and vitrified by his years of service as prosecuting attorney, and it is with a wide purview that he faces the people today inviting their further confidence in him for a higher office. Of Pennsylvania birth, and an Americanism dating back to the 17th century, he is the son of Rev. James T. Fredericks, of Burgettstown, where he was born September 10, 1869. From sought to collect royalties from Los Angeles county and other counties in the state, for an infringement of patent secured by Frederick W. Mattern of Los Angeles, for the use of oil in the construction of roads. Every automobile owner in the state was vitally interested in this litigation. In 1900 a number of counties and cities began to use oil on the public roads for the purpose of dust laying and when the Dustless Road company, acting under the Mattern patent, began suit against the city of needlands for $25,000 for alleged infringement of rights, filing similar suits against Los Angeles, the city of Long Beach and other cities and counties, the importance of meeting these demands with adequate defense was obvious. Captain Fredericks took the initiative and through his efforts the League of California Municipalities was organized to secure a united defence of all such suits. Capt. Fredericks secured indubitable proof that oil was in use for road making purposes several years ante-dating the issue of a patent to Mattern. As a result of this not only did he save the county hundreds of thousands of dollars, but every city and county in the state and elsewhere were rendered immune from heavy assessment by reason of his vigorous and intelligent efforts. Then two years ago came that terrible ordeal of the trial of two men accused of the murder of 21 persons. Through that ordeal in which the character of Capt. Fredericks was tested in the fiercely oblique of public opinion as the characters of few men are tested, and Fredericks obtained a national reputation as a faithful, honest and efficient public servant, who courageously performed his duty without swerving and without hesitation. On many occasions Capt. Fredericks Broadway, South Philadelphia and other streets will probably soon be taken up for paving, and there is little doubt that he work will be pushed until all the principal streets of the city are paved. Messrs. Stark, Ames and Steward, of the city government, who attended the State League of Municipalities at Monterey, report that according to the testimony of delegates from all sections of the state on the various kinds of paving, we have the best system ever put in use, and our paving is equal to anything of the kind in the world. It is not only in paving that Anaheim is forging ahead. In the matter of building we are keeping pace with the procession. The most important thing in this direction at present is the new city hall which will be erected on the corner of Center and Claudina streets. It will be built in accordance with the plans submitted by Architect Durfee, but these plans were not officially adopted as it may be found expedient to change some of the minor details of the drawings during the course of construction. It will be a beautiful structure, costing $30,000, and will be one of the finest and most convenient municipal buildings in the Southland. The next most important structure is the Fisher building on West Center street, work on which will shortly begin. This will have a 60-foot frontage and is to be three stories in height. The ground floor will contain three store rooms, the two upper stories being built for a hotel. The cost of the building is in the neighborhood of $20,000. In addition to these the Spoerl-Muckenthaler block, on East Continued on Page 12 Of Pennsylvania birth, and an Americanism dating back to the 17th century, he is the son of Rev. James F. Fredericks, of Burgettstown, where he was born September 10, 1869. From the local schools he went to Trinity Hall Military Academy, Penn., thence to Washington and Jefferson College, where he was graduated in 1890, in which year he came to Los Angeles. Young Fredericks elected to read for the law and in the three years he acted as military instructor at the Whittler State school and taught mathematics, he studied assidiously for his chosen profession. Passing the state examination with honors, he entered the profession of law in 1893. Six years later he was appointed assistant district attorney for Los Angeles county and in the four years succeeding he gave so good an account of his services that in 1902, he was nominated and elected to the office of District Attorney, an honor which was repeated in 1906 and again in 1910. Meanwhile in 1896, he married Agnes M. Blakely, a union that has been blessed with four children, Doris J. D., Jr., Deborah and James B. His home life is ideal and on their ranch between Los Angeles and the sea Captain and Mrs. Fredericks have reared their family in the fear of God and the love of humanity. Considered by many as the greatest service rendered by Capt. Fredericks in his capacity as District Attorney, was his masterly handling of the celebrated oil roads patent litigation, in which it will be remembered, it was Then two years ago came that terrible ordeal of the trial of two men accused of the murder of 21 persons. Through that ordeal in which the character of Capt. Fredericks was tested in the fiery crucible of public opinion as the characters of few men are tested, and Fredericks obtained a national reputation as a faithful, honest and efficient public servant, who courageously performed his duty without swerving and without hesitation. On many occasions Capt. Fredericks has revealed his fine patriotism and sturdy Americanism, his hatred of shams, and his love of country, and a gleaning of expressions from his various speeches cannot fail to prove enlightening to the people of the state whose suffrages he is now asking. Speaking of the spirit that imbued our forefathers he said: "It is alive today as it ever was. The right of the people to govern themselves will never be surrendered in this country. All the American people want to have the enemy clearly know so that they may strike intelligently." Again: "I am a firm believer in the honesty of my fellowmen but I have learned that men coming into public office—law making bodies, for example—at times, who from poor judgment of public policy or dishonest purpose, can no more be trusted to legislate honestly and wisely for public service corporations than the trust magnate can be trusted to refrain from adding to his wealth by raising the price of the necessities of life, if he had the power to do so." This is the Captain's fine scorn for the demagogue: "As a rule, that type of fellow who with loud and blatant voice claims that in him alone rests civic virtue, all others being vile, is dangerous, because of fair ability as an orator he may be followed in his fallacies by reason of his persistence, thus carryin; the people off their balance for atime." As a student of criminology Capt. Fredericks has shown the inherent blight that lies in him. He not only believes in his fellowmen, but he loves him and despite his 16 years of his continued on page 3 ZETTE 29, 1914 NUMBER 5 LE CAREER CROWDED HOUSE GREETS NOTED SPEAKERS MASON THEATRE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING BY INTERESTED AUDIENCE FRIDAY NIGHT HORATIO F. STOLL AND MRS. LILLIAN BURKHART GOLDSMITH TALK ON PROTECTION TO VINEYARDS The Mason theatre was crowded to its utmost capacity Friday evening to hear Proposition No. 2 on the November ballot (the prohibition amendment) discussed by Hon. Horatio F. Stoll, commissioner at large of the State Board of Viticultural Commissioners, and Mrs. Lillian Burkhart Goldsmith, the well-known author and speaker of Los Angeles. One of the interesting features of the meeting was the moving picture reel showing the grape industry of California. It began with the discovery of the wild grape which the Franciscan fathers found growing to profusion here in 1772, and which they began cultivating. It pictured the introduction of the wine grape from Europe in 1862 and gave comprehensive one full swoop tens of thousands of men who have no connection with the liquor business, but they are making no provision for providing them with other jobs. They must take their chances with the balance of the unemployed. Moreover the proposed law is so drastic that it makes the possession of a drop of liquor a crime. A grape grower cannot turn the grapes from his own vines into wine and drink it himself. It is a crime to manufacture it, a crime to have a drop on your premises and a crime to drink it. It takes away the last vestage of a man's personal liberty and makes him a slave to the most drastic law ever conceived by man. Mr. Stoll grew somewhat heated over the numerous bill boards that have been planted along all the highways of the state announcing that California paid $29,000,000 in 1912 as the direct expense of whiskey-made crime. This statement, is claimed was compiled by an expert accountant at Sacramento. As a matter of fact the statement is false and never was compiled by an expert accountant. George E. Laurence, president of the Grape Growers' Protective Association, wrote to the Legislative Bureau at Sacramento and asked if the figures quoted were vouched for by them. In reply he received this: "Legislative counsel bureau never made to anybody at any time any statement that ever purported to be a report of cost of crime caused by liquor industry. This bureau, in re- and Mrs. Lillian Burkhart Goldsmith, the well-known author and speaker of Los Angeles. One of the interesting features of the meeting was the moving picture reel showing the grape industry of California. It began with the discovery of the wild grape which the Franciscan fathers found growing to production here in 1772, and which they began cultivating. It pictured the introduction of the wine grape from Europe in 1862, and gave comprehensive and instructive scenes from the big vineyards and wineries of the state. The pictures were a revelation to most of the audience who have but a faint conception of the magnitude of the industry. Mrs. Goldsmith's subject was "Why the Fair-minded Women of California are Opposed to the Confiscation of our Vineyards." Mrs. Goldsmith is an eloquent speaker and handled her subject in a convincing manner. She advocated temperance and argued that the proper way to promote sobriety was to begin with the children and teach them the evil effects of intemperence. Her chief objection to the proposed amendment was that it was too drastic and would strike too heavy a blow to the state. It was like a steam roller, she claimed, and whole bodies of industries would be crushed by it without giving any compensation in return. Why don't agitators, she asked, turn their energies to something more important? If they are obsessed with the idea that they are chosen to reform evils they could find several in vastly more need of reform. They might devote some of their surplus energy toward finding something for the unemployed to do instead of destroying the livelihood of nearly 300,000 others. Mrs. Goldsmith talked for half an hour and every point she made was convincing. She is a brilliant talker and was loudly applauded by the large audience. Mr. Stoll also devoted most of his talk to the viticultural industry. As he is a member of the state board he is thoroughly conversant with the subject. He quoted figures showing the value of the industry and ridiculed the contention of prohibitionists that other profitable crops could be grown on the 343,000 acres now devoted to viticulture. Most of the vines are grown on ground peculiarly adapted to that crop and if it is destroyed the land becomes valueless. "Legislative counsel bureau never made to anybody at any time any statement that ever purported to be a report of cost of crime caused by liquor industry. This bureau, in response to questions by members of the legislature, quoted official figures of cost and upkeep of courts and penal and corrective institutions and administration of district attorney's offices, without reference to or argument either for or against liquor industry or prohibition. This bureau is non-partisan and does not urge or oppose legislation of any character." With their cost of crime statistics absolutely discredited, one would imagine that the dry leaders would drop them like a hot potato, but we venture to predict that right up to election day the Messrs. Odell, Randall, Brown and the rest of them will quote these fake cost of crime figures in the hope of fooling credulous voters and getting them to vote for a dry California. NEEDHAM MAKES CLOSING RALLY Spends Yesterday Morning at Newport Beach Conferring With Supporters James C. Needham arrived at Orange yesterday morning from Riverside in which county he has been campaigning this week. He addressed a great meeting at Riverside on Tuesday evening, and has assurance that he will sweep that county by a tremendous majority. This is also true of San Bernardino county, where he campaigned last week. He will carry San Bernardino county by a great majority. He was met at Orange by J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the Orange county republican central committee, and accompanied by other leading republicans drove to Newport Beach where he spent several hours conferring with his friends and supporters. Needham was given a great demonstration at Santa Ana last night. Mr. Stoll also devoted most of his talk to the viticultural industry. As he is a member of the state board he is thoroughly conversant with the subject. He quoted figures showing the value of the industry and ridiculed the contention of prohibitionists that other profitable crops could be grown on the 343,000 acres now devoted to viticulture. Most of the vines are grown on ground peculiarly adapted to that crop and if it is destroyed the land becomes valueless. The contention of the prohibitionists that the product of the vineyards could be converted into grape juice, he said, was absurd. The product from the wine grapes and the surplus table and raisin grape crops now being turned into the wineries would make 73,000,000 gallons of grape juice annually. Only 2,000,000 gallons of grape juice is made in the entire United States per year and it is a drug in the market. There is no profitable market for grape juice and never will be. Moreover the California grape does not make a palatable grape juice, and it could not compete with the eastern product. Mr. Stoll compared the proposed amendment with the Wyllie law now on the statute books. The Wyllie law is not a prohibition measure, he said, because it aims only at the elimination of saloons in communities that desire it. The framers of that law were careful to protect the grape industry which they considered an entirely different business from the saloon interests. The prohibitionists, however, with their Amendment No. 2, propose to destroy not only the wineries and the breweries, but to bankrupt the vineyards, the barley grower, the rice grower, and numerous other persons whose chief market is through these industries. The adoption of this measure will throw out of employment at Motorcycle Officers Ballard and Davenport have been gathering them in by dozens. Tuesday they swore to over three dozen complaints charging as many people with breaking the state traffic laws. Some are for speeding, some for travelling at night without proper lights upon their vehicles and a few are for leaving the muffler open. The complaints sworn to, date back for three or four days. Arrests were made all over the county. Those for whom warrants were issued up to noon Tuesday were G. H. Stevenson, Harry Shaffer, A. Hernandez, N. Condos, E. M. Cook, F. F. Sibley, H. R.

Duckworth, chairman of the Orange county republican central committee, and accompanied by other leading republicans move to Newport Beach where he spent several hours conferring with his friends and supporters. Needham was given a great demonstration at Santa Ana last night, when he spoke to one of the largest assemblages of the campaign. Close estimates of the vote at San Bernardino, Riverside, Imperial, Inyo and Orange counties, indicate that Needham will sweep these counties by a majority of 25,000. He will carry San Diego county by a safe majority, and that he will be overwhelmingly elected congressman from the 11th district is a matter admitting of no doubt whatever.
