Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. NATIONAL CONVENTION REPRESENTATION CHANGED After more than three decades of agitation, the edict has gone forth that hereafter southern representation in National Republican conventions shall be reduced. The announcement so that edict, however, which was recently made by Chairman Hiles, was not unexpected, because of the general understanding ever since the Chicago convention of two years ago that the change was certain to come, and perhaps it is just as well. Heretofore in Republican national conventions each state was allowed four delegates-at-large and two delegates in addition for each representative in congress in the state, no matter what the vote had been. Under this plan some southern states had one delegate for about 1000 republicans, while great northern states like New York and Pennsylvania had to be content with one delegate for 10,000 or even 20,000 republicans. The arrangement has been justly criticised as unfair, but it was retained because of a belief that its abolition would mean the virtual elimination of the republican party in the south. Nevertheless, in most conventions there was more or less scandal over the goings of the southern delegates, and there was a prevalent belief that the party's efforts to keep Republicanism alive in the south entailed altogether too heavy a price. Under the new plan, according to Louisiana Rejoices Word comes from New Orleans that the enactment of the people of California of the anti-prize fight statute has been hailed with rejoicing there. The moment that it became known that the act had been passed, a contract was let in New Orleans "for the erection of a fight arena that is expected to seat at least 10,000 persons." We do not grudge the old French city such pleasure and profit as it may conceive will hereafter be its own alone. Precisely as we relinquished without regret the company of the race track gamblers, touts, confidence men, three-thimble artists and all the riff-raff that flowed in the wake of race track gambling, so with the same satisfaction and delight we part with the plug ugles of the prize ring and the mercenaries who fatten on their questionable earnings. Louisiana boasts that it is now the only state in which twenty-round boxing contests legally may be staged. It might as well boast of being the only state in which any other evidence of barbarism was freely tolerated. TWO ANAHEIMERS IN SHERIFF'S OFFICE Sheriff-Elect Jackson Chooses Jack Iman for Under Sheriff Sheriff elect Jackson was in town Wednesday greeting old friends and receiving the congratulations of his many friends hereabout. Mr. Jackson announced the appointments of his staff and it is gratifying to note that an Anaheim man has been given the position of Under sheriff. J. M. Gunnett has been appointed bailiff for Judge Thomas' court. Following is a list of the appointments: Under sheriff, John Iman, Anaheim. Office Deputy, Miss Opal Davies, Orange. Belliss, J. T.

Nevertheless, in most conventions there was more or less scandal over the joins of the southern delegates, and there was a prevalent belief that the party's efforts to keep Republican man alive in the south entailed altogether too heavy a price. Under the new plan, according to Chairman Hiles, there will be four delegates at large from each state and "one additional for each district where the republican vote exceeded 7500 in 1912 or exceeds that figure in 1914." In the next republican convention, as a result of this arrangement, the delegates of Alabama will be reduced by 8; Arkansas, 3; Florida, 4; Georgia, 11; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 8; New York, 2; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 7; Tennessee, 3; Texas, 16; Virginia, 8; Hawaii, 4; Porto Rico, 2; and Philippine Islands, 2. One gratifying result of the change will be fewer contested delegations to wrangle before the national committee. These contests, as a rule, have been unsavory affairs and have caused much bitterness, as was notably the case two years ago. Besides that consideration, the new rule should be of advantage because tending to harmonize the republican party, the proposed change being in accordance with the wishes of the more radical wing. SERIOUS EFFECTS PAST Officials of the various government departments which touch the country's business activities feel confident that the most serious effects of the European war on American business have past. The restoration of the credit balance with Europe has greatly eased the situation, the increasing demand from Europe for American food supplies and also the sudden development of an abnormal trade in articles needed by the huge armies now-in-the field aiding to that end. No accurate figures on the contracts of the latter character are obtainable, but orders for horses, mules, army clothing, harness and the like have flooded factories and stockmen in some districts. Including ammunition orders, this business reaches the huge total of receiving the congratulations of his many friends hereabout. Mr. Jackson announced the appointments of his staff and it is gratifying to note that an Anaheim man has been given on the position of Under sheriff. J. M. Gunnett has been appointed bailif for Judge Thomas' court. Following is a list of the appointments: Under sheriff, John Iman, Anaheim. Office Deputy, Miss Opal Davis, Orange. Balliffs, J. T.

SANTA ANA MAN VICTIM OF FRAUD Swindled Out of $26,000 by a Mail Order Shark An indictment returned in Kansas City, Mo., last Friday, which Government officials claim will uncover fraudulent transactions aggregating $100,-000, realized in the arrest of T. E. Waggoner, a real estate dealer of Los Angeles. Waggoner will be given a hearing before United States Commissioner C. N. Williams on a petition of the Government for his removal to Kansas City for trial. His bond was fixed by Commissioner Williams at $4000. When Waggoner was arrested in his officers by Deputy United States Marshall Moore he professed ignorance of the transactions which the Government deemed an offense and when he was brought to the Federal Building he protested that he had acted within the law in all of his dealings, but admitted having participated in transactions with the Union Cattle and Mercantile Company of Kansas City, whose president, Roy Bonebrake, was jointly indicted with him. Waggoner is accused of using the mails to defraud in connection with the disposition of certain stocks of hardware held under a bond guarantee at points in the East. The telegraphic complaint upon which the warrant was issued there for his arrest says that he was indicted for "trading bills of sale in the form of a bond to deliver invoices of merchandise upon the payment by the owner of the bond of one-fourth of the face of the bond." The indictment was based upon the complaint of E. F. Wickersheim of Santa Ana, who it is claimed, was dawned out of $26,000 by Waggoner. Hurtado home spent in play Hundred."

No accurate figures on the contracts of the latter character are obtainable, but orders for horses, mules, army clothing, harness and the like have flooded factories and stockmen in some districts. Including ammunition orders, this business reaches the huge total of more than $200,000,000. In several lines factories are straining to the highest capacity to meet the demands. Other factors which have aided in clearing up of the situation are the opening of the federal bank system, upon which business experts look as the backbone of the country's resources; the opening of the Panama canal, which already has increased freight traffic to the west coast of South America, and the entry of more than eight foreign built ships into American registry under the emergency law passed at the last session of congress. In the shipping situation, officials said today, there was a growing scarcity of carriers for American export commerce because the bulk of that traffic was increasing so steadily. Freight rates have risen remarkably and it was said shipping companies were now selecting their cargoes with the greatest care, avoiding all articles of even a semi-contraband nature. Huge shipments of grain are awaiting transportation at many ports. It appears probable this condition will result in renewed activity in behalf of the administration federal merchant marine bill, when congress reassembles, although the new complexion of the house of representatives, where the democrats control by a narrow margin, makes the result doubtful. CAPTURED A TRAIN Ninety-three hoboes were arrested in San Bernardino Monday after taking possession of a Salt Lake freight train on the desert near Otis and forcing the crew to operate the train according to their orders. Ten others escaped. Deputy Sheriff Bright of Otis, wired the sheriff's office that the hoboes had boarded the train, breaking the seals on the cars and had taken possession. Police deputy sheriffs and railroad officers waited for the train in the Santa Fe yards there. The hoboes stopped the train at Seventh and I streets just outside the yards proper, and were preparing to run away, when the officers, who had surrounded the train as it drew to a stop commended them to halt. Ten of the men escaped, but the remainder were captured and taken to the county jail. Local Notes C. R. Lagourge of Niland, is visiting his parents in this city. Ed. McDowd of Los Angeles bumped his auto into a buggy near Fullerton Friday night, and slightly injured all three occupants of the vlg. They were employees of the Baastanchury ranch. A. E. Hiles of the Opera House store, is advertising a removal sale. Mr. Hiles expects to move into a room farther west in a short time. Homer Calkins has been seriously ill at its home in West Anaheim for some time past. His two sons, Clifford and Will of Milford, Iowa, and daughter, Mrs. Hall of Seattle, are visiting at the Calkins home. Sunday night, after Adolf Eder was held up and robbed, night policeman Sackett rounded up a bunch of hobos near the Santa Fe tracks, but failed to find any incriminating evidence on them. The highwaymen had disappeared or cached their loot. The Southern Counties Gas Company is laying a pipe line to connect with a well at Northam. The company's business is rapidly increasing as many people are putting in gas heaters owing to the cheapness of the natural gas.

Department of Agriculture Describes Six of the Dangerous Weeds Six of the poisonous plants that cause the heaviest losses of livestock on western ranges are described with the aid of full-page photographs in a circular just published by the United States department of agriculture under the title, Principal Polsonous Plants of the Western Stock Ranges. Despite the damage that these stockmen do every year there are many stockmen who do not recognize them and in consequence are unable to protect their stock effectively from being poisoned by them. It is probable that there are on the ranges a large number of poisonous plants, but the heaviest losses are those produced by the plants named in the circular. These are death camas, the lupine, rattleweed or white loco, one of the worst of the many varieties of loco plants; the tall larkspur, low larkspur and water hemlock. Of those the water hemlock alone is dangerous to man, causing violent convulsions and even death. The root of it, however, is the only poisonous part. In the case of the other plants, with the exception of the lupine, all parts are poisonous to stock. Both the tall and low larkspur lose their poisonous qualities after blossoming. The illustrations in the circular are accompanied by brief descriptions of the plant which should enable the stockman to identify them readily. The symptoms peculiar to each form of poisoning and the remedy, when there is one, are also given. U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS A convention of nation wide importance will be held in the city of Washington, D.C., December 9th, 10th 11th, and Frank Ey. President of the Board of City Trustees, of Santa Ana, has received an invitation to be present at the meeting, and also has an invitation to the city council to send a delegate or delegates to the convention. In an interview Mr.Ey expressed his opinion of the matter in no uncertain terms. He said the conservation of the waterways and harbors of the country was the very biggest thing in sight at present. He regrets exceedingly that it will be almost impossible for him to go yet he thinks that someone should go. The manner in which the Santa Ana River is conserved is a case in point with him. "Without the water which is saved from that useful stream, what would this country be?" he asked. And what one community has done others may do. "Waterways are not obsolete, by any manner of means," said he; "and when you hear anybody talking in that strain, you may be very sure that it is because their own selfish interests are touched, and the good of the many does not count with them. I would just like you to read this excerpt from the prospectus which the Secretary sent with the invitation." U. S. WILL BUILD DESTROYER FLEET Also Eight Submarines Will be Added To the Navy The secretary of the navy will open bids December 15 for the construction of eight submarines, numbers 52 to 59, and on November 10 for the construction of six torpedo boat destroyers, numbers 63 to 68. The designs of the submarines are regarded as confidential, and no information whatever will be given to the public regarding even their general characteristics. Instructions have been given to those who have to do with the designs and who are to supervise the work of construction to preserve this secrecy. This is in line with departmental policy followed for a number of years, which makes the submarines a special object of naval reticence. The destroyers will follow in a general way those built in recent years, excepting that there will be triple tubes instead of twin tubes. The new vessels will be 310 feet long, 29 feet 10 inches beam, with a draft of 9 1-2 feet. The displacement will be 1108 tons, and each vessel will carry a battery of four four-inch rapid-fire guns and four triple torpedo tubes. These new vessels will be slightly less normal displacement than those of the immediately preceding class, but in other respects the dimensions will be practically the same. The speed of the engines is about 29 knots. CARD OF THANKS The under-signed desire to express their heartfelt thanks to friends and neighbors for their many acts of sympathetic kindness and for the assistance rendered in the hour of our beavement consequent upon the illness and death of our infant child. Also for the many floral offerings received. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gilmore. A free entertainment will be given each evening. The booths will be open both afternoon and evening. The ladies have spared no pain to make this bazaar a success and they cordially invite the public to come and have a good time. LOST AN EYE The accidental discharge of a shot-gun near the tin mines in the Trabuco canyon Sunday morning resulted in the loss of the left eye of A. M. Boyd of Santa Ana. In the party with Boyd were Al Goff and Grover Besser, neither of whom are able to state in what manner the accident occurred. It is thought that both Goff and Besser discharged their guns simultaneously and that a shot from one of the guns accidentally lodged in Boyd's eye. Boyd was able to drive his automobile part of the way home. Halfway between Santa Ana and the in minutes the party was met by Dr. C. H. Brooks, who took the injured man on Santa Ana and attended him. On Monday morning Boyd was taken to Los Angeles, where he consulted a specialist. The Los Angeles specialist was emphatic in declaring that the eye would have to be removed. Boyd and Dr. Brooks returned and Boyd went to the Santa Ana hospital where the operation was performed at about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. Three or four other shots struck Boyd in the face. Ten big American dollars await some enterprising farmer in Orange county at the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. They will go to the first conservation is a case in point with him. "Without the water which is saved from that useful stream, what would this country be?" he asked. And what one community has done others may do. Waterways are not obsolete, by any manner of means," said he, "and when you hear anybody talking in that strain, you may be very sure that it is because their own selfish interests are touched, and the good of the many does not count with them. I would just like you to read this excerpt from the prospectus which the Secretary sent with the invitation." The excerpt in question was an extract from the German budget for 1913114. It contained the information that the foreign trade of Germany was $818,000,000 greater than the foreign business of this country during that fiscal year, and the great volume of this business had been done in ships. When it is remembered that Texas is 53,000 square miles larger than Germany, the possibilities of the business which could be done by this country almost stagger one. President Wilson will make the opening speech at the convention, and he will, without doubt, strike the keynote of what the future has in store for the United States, in the way of conservation of water, and improvements of our harbors.

He says this country will be dragged into a war with Mexico and that Japan will come to the aid of the latter to avenge the California alien land law. Whether he thinks so or not, the Senator is making an ass of himself by peddling broadcast any such harmful prophecy.
