VOLUME XXXXV PREPARING FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON ANAHEIM MERCHANTS HAVE PURCHASED HEAVY STOCKS OF CHRISTMAS GOODS POSTOFFICE ALREADY HANDLING PACKAGES AND A BIG RUSH IS ANTICIPATED Wars, rumors of wars, a democratic administration at Washington, and a progressive victory in California on November 3rd will have no blighting effects on the holiday festivities in Anaheim. Preparations are making for a happy and prosperous season, and already the odor of holly, of mistletoe and of fernery is in the atmosphere. Some of the stores have begun to decorate with imperishable paper, but the greenery and the flowers will be added later. All Europe is devastated by vast armies dealing death and desolation to soldiers and civilians alike. Mexico on our southern reports that its gross receipts Thanksgiving day were between $108,000 and $110,000. The single admissions amounted to $42,700. The parking privileges were $3 each and they made an aggregate of $51,000, while the grand stand and the refreshment and other privileges brought the receipts up $14,000 or $16,000 more. The Corona people rockon that after paying all prizes, bills and salaries, they will clean up between $60,000 and $65,000. It will be several days before the accountants check up all the accounts and ascertain exactly what were the receipts and disbursements at the races. It is recokoned that there were 73,000 paid admissions to the race course. This is 18,000 more than at the races on Admission Day, 1913, when a profit of $39,680 was earned in one day. This time the expenses were very much less. BUSHARD ACQUITTED OF DISTURBING PEACE Jury Decides that Mrs. Keith Rush's Charges Were Not Well Founded After wrestling several hours over the evidence the jury in the case of the people vs. L. W. Bushard returned a verdict at 2:30 o'clock Friday after- The past season in Anaheim and its vicinity was an unusually prosperous one, and the merchants have prepared for a large holiday trade. There is nothing Anaheim people want to purchase for the holidays that cannot be found in our own business houses. A glance at the advertising columns of this paper will show you what is offered and who is offering it. Some people are imbued with the idea that they can secure better bargains in the city, but they are woefully mistaken. An Anaheim merchant can sell any article handled by a Los Angeles merchant and duplicate his price. The stocks displayed here will not be as large as those in the great stores of the city, but the quality and variety are the same, and the prices just low. Before buying your holiday goods it would be well to see what your home merchants have to offer. Officials at the postoffice state that the season of Christmas giving has already opened. Packages are beginning to go and come, and the heaviest business within the history of the postoffice is anticipated. This is partly due to the cheap parcel post rates and the fact that the system is better understood and appreciated than formerly, and partially because the holiday trade is expected to be unusual effects on the holiday festivities in Anaheim. Preparations are making for a happy and prosperous season, and already the odor of holly, of mistletoe and of fernery is in the atmosphere. Some of the stores have begun to decorate with imperishable paper, but the greenery and the flowers will be added later. All Europe is devastated by vast armies dealing death and desolation to soldiers and civilians alike. Mexico on our southern border, is torn by internal dissentions and terrorized by warring factions. Canada, our northern neighbor, is subordinating everything to the mobilization of troops which are being sent to the front to kill or be killed. Asia, Australia and Africa have been stricken with the fever of war and are rushing men into the midst of the fray. The proclamation of "Peace on earth, good will toward men," handed down by the angel from the pillar of fire on the plains of Bethlehem has been forgotten by a great majority of the civilized world. Here in Anaheim, however, the sentiment still prevails, and preparations are making for a fitting celebration of the season of good cheer. Mrs. Rush lives on Olive street almost directly opposite the residence of Mr. Bushard. On election day Mrs. Rush observed a number of men occasionally going into the Bushard home, and finally came to the conclusion that a blind pig was being operated there. She phoned to Sheriff Ruddock, to Judge Howard, and to other officials and attempted to have the house raided but failed. She finally came down to the polling place of precinct four where she found Mr. Bushard. She upbraided him and said some very uncomplimentary things to him. Among other things she accused him of conducting a blind pig and of having indulged in the beverage too frequently himself. Louis finally became peeved and declared that if she perished in that assertion she prevaricated, and Mrs. Rush says he prefixed the remark with a strong adjective. Consequently she swore out a warrant for his arrest on the ground that he had disturbed her peace. Mr. Bushard's statement is that he was one of the checkers appointed to keep tab on the vote. Having been crowded out of his office by the election board the committee occasionally met at his house and checked up the vote as it was polled in order to get a line on the voters still out. Booze had no part in the comings and goings of these men. They were simply a part of the campaign machinery. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel came over from Santa Ana and prosecuted the case, which went to the jury at eleven o'clock and at 2:30 a verdict of not guilty was returned. The vote stood three for conviction and seven for acquittal for several ballots. The jury decided that Mrs. Keith Rush's Charges Were Not Well Founded After wrestling several hours over the evidence the jury in the case of the people vs. L. W. Bushard returned a verdict at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon acquitting him of the charge of disturbing the peace of Mrs. Keith Rush.

Packages are beginning to go and come, and the heaviest business within the history of the postoffice is anticipated. This is partly due to the cheap parcel post rates and the fact that the system is better understood and appreciated than formerly, and partially because the holiday trade is expected to be unusually heavy this year. This region has had an unusually prosperous season, and prosperity always makes people generous at Christmas time. The express companies are also looking forward to a thriving business, as many things are shipped out of Anaheim each holiday season that are novelties to the people living in the frost-bound east. Christmas in Anaheim this year will not be a white one. We will miss the beautiful snow, the ice bound streams, and the merry jingle of the sleigh bells which our eastern friends will enjoy, but as we will have myriads of beautiful flowers, green lawns, flourishing gardens, orange trees loaded with golden fruit and a summer sun, turning the 25th of December into a day in June, we will not envy our eastern friends their snow, their ice and their sleigh bells. Already the lonesome cry of the turkey and the wall of the goose that is marked for slaughter, are heard in various sections of town. These sounds are indicative of an approaching holiday. A hard-hearted city government recently forbade raffling for those birds, consequently the man who enjoys turkey on Christmas day must either purchase it or purloin it from his neighbor's coop. Anaheim will be as holy as Long Beach within another year. CORNOA'S PROFITS The Corona Auto Race committee Deputy District Attorney Koepsel came over from Santa Ana and prosecuted the case, which went to the jury at eleven o'clock and at 2:30 a verdict of not guilty was returned. The vote stood three for conviction and seven for acquittal for several ballots. The jury was composed of ten men. They were Daniel Naugle, Herman Bouner, orchardist, J. S. Shoridan, Carl Caunatta, H. E. W. Barnes, Robert Quarton, J. C. Calloway, R. Dunn, B. Fisher and Oliver Hill. OLDEST CITIZEN CALLED BY DEATH Hamilton T. Cornell Passes Away at The Age of 97 Death has claimed Anaheim's oldest citizen, and possibly the oldest in Orange county. Hamilton T. Cornell died at 11:30 Monday night at the home of his son-in-law, John W. Walls, on Broadway, at the advanced age of 97 years. Mr. Cornell has been a resident of Orange county for 22 years, coming here from Wyoming, and has made his home alternately with his two daughters, Mrs. J. W. Walls and Mrs. Emma Titus of Los Angeles. Mr. Cornell was born in Itaca, New York in 1818 and lacked but a month of celebrating his 97th birthday. He was a cousin of Ezera Cornell, the man who founded Cornell University at Ithaca, with an endowment of $500,000. Six weeks ago he sustained a severe injury from a fall which probably hastened the end, but his death was caused primarily by old age, as he was apparently suffering from no illness. He maintained all his faculties until the end, and passed away peacefully and quietly. Funeral services were held at the Backs & Terry undertaking parlors at 2 o'clock yesterday, interment being in the Anaheim cemetery.

This is the ornamental light proposition for the principal business section of town. The idea was born in the board of trade and was first submitted to that body five years ago. The members took kindly to the notion but realized that many obstacles would have to be overcome before anything could be accomplished. Item is extended the full length of those two thoroughfares. The consumption of this scheme is another triumph for the board of trade. The idea originated with that body, and although the fight has been an uphill one and met disacriments it has finally been brought to a successful conclusion. MAJOR E. F. C. KLOKKE PASSES AWAY Civil War Veteran was Large Stockholder in Anaheim Union Water Co. Major E. F. C. Klokke, 80 years old, for 26 years a resident of Los Angeles and prominent in business and political circles, died on Sunday morning at his home, 2105 Figuerona street in that city, as the result of a paralytic stroke he suffered November 10 last. Up to the time of his last illness Major Klokke was in splendid health, active and vigorous as a man half his age, and often declared that he had never known a day of illness. Even after the first stroke, from which he rallied, he was downtown attending to business and it was only when he was a second time stricken that he took to his bed. Major Klokke was born in Utrecht, Holland in 1834, and came to New York when 16 years old. A few years later he moved to Chicago and at the beginning of the Civil War entered the Twenty-fourth Illinois infantry as GENEROUS OFFER FOR PUBLIC PARK H. DEUTSCH SUBMITTS PROPOSITION WHICH REVIVES HOPE AMONG THE PROMOTERS WILL SELL SUITABLE SITE AT ACTUAL VALUE AND DONATE $5000 TOWARD PURCHASE There is a strong probability that the advocates of civic improvements who have been boosting for a city park in Anaheim for a number of years will finally see their dream realized, as a scheme is now on foot that appears easy of consummation, and it is through the munificence of H. Deutsch that the promoters are seeing victory ahead. Mr. Deutsch is a resident of Los Angeles and never has lived in Anaheim, but he has been an extensive property owner here for a long number of years, and takes as large an interest as the natives do. Mr. Deutsch owns a large tract of land cornering at Center and North Center being block matter close to but away from Shoal Steak Lodge. by the parties most interested, and it is only a question of the shortest possible time when the scheme will be consummated. This is the ornamental light proposition for the principal business section of town. The idea was born in the board of trade and was first submitted to that body five years ago. The members took kindly to the notion but realized that many obstacles would have to be overcome before anything could be accomplished. By persistent effort and indefatigable work these obstacles have all been met and cleared out of the way. Mr. Cusick, the contractor who will furnish the posts, presented the matter to the city trustees Thursday night and stated that only three or four of the property owners within the prescribed district had failed to sign the petition for the lights up to that date, but that all had signified their willingness to do so and would express their approval by signing the paper whenever they could be reached, and that there was nothing to prevent the board taking action that night and starting the work. The trustees, however, decided to wait until the signatures had been secured, or at least as many as could be reached, and it will probably be acted upon at the next meeting. A meeting of the property owners was held at the office of Simpson, Hamler and Simpson Monday afternoon for the purpose of perfecting the plans. It was decided that the posts should be placed at intervals of 120 feet, or as close to that distance as possible. There will be four at each intersection, one on each corner, close to the curbing. The territory to be covered by them runs from Cypress to Broadway on Los Angeles street, a distance of 1658 feet. On Center they run from South Philadelphia to Clementina streets a stretch of 1602 feet. This gives a frontage on the two streets within the designated territory exclusive of street crossings of 6520 feet. Owing to the unequal length of the blocks it will be impossible to place the posts at uniform distances apart, consequently it will require sixty or more to cover the distance. The property owners have agreed to pay one dollar per front foot toward the expense of installation, the city to pay the balance of the cost, also to furnish the electricity. Just what the total cost will be is not yet known, or at least, not made public. Many residents living beyond the proscribed limit have asked that the system be never known a day of illness. Even after the first stroke, from which he rallied, he was downtown attending to business and it was only when he was a second time stricken that he took to his bed. Major Klokke was born in Utrecht, Holland in 1834, and came to New York when 16 years old. A few years later he moved to Chicago and at the beginning of the Twenty-fourth Illinois infantry as second lieutenant. He was in active service throughout the war leaving the army at the conclusion of hostilities with the rank of major. He returned to Chicago and became active in politics, serving eight years as county clerk of Cook County and for some time as both police and fire commissioner. In 1885 he came to Los Angeles and at once took an active part in both business and political affairs. Although he never sought a political office, he was an active worker in every campaign. Shortly after his arrival in Los Angeles he purchased an orange ranch at Placentia and for 25 years had been actively engaged in orange growing. He bought and sold Los Angeles real estate and had large holdings at the time of his death. He was prominent in the Loyal Legion, G. A. R. and the Masonic fraternity. He had been active in Chamber of Commerce work as a director for many years, and was a member of the California club and the Los Angeles Country club. While in Europe he was married at Frankfort-on-the-Main in 1873. He is survived by the widow and three children, E. A. and Karl C. Klokke and Miss Helen A. Klokke. The funeral was held at the residence yesterday morning and the body was cremated at Rosedale cemetery in accordance with the wish of the Major. Major Klokke was well known in this city, having been for many years a stockholder in the Anaheim Union Water company. He owned an orange ranch of 80 acres at Placentia and held 89 shares of stock in the water company. He frequently attended the annual meeting of stockholders, and was a well-known figure at these meetings. He was the author of the famous Klokke resolution, offered at an annual meeting some 15 years ago, which affected a compromise between two fractions of the com- ized, as a scheme is now on foot that appears easy of consumption, and it is through the munificence of H. Deutsch that the promoters are seeing victory ahead. Mr. Deutsch is a resident of Los Angeles and never has lived in Anaheim, but he has been an extensive property owner here for a long number of years, and takes as large an interest as the natives do. Mr. Deutsch owns a large tract of land cornering at Center and North Lemon streets. He purchased this ground during the boom days thirty years ago. Following the subsidence of the boom in 1888 the property depreciated, but Mr. Deutsch did not lose his faith in Anaheim and held onto it. His faith has been justified and during the past few years the property has rapidly advanced in value, and a considerable portion of it has been sold at high prices. Mr. Deutsch is a strong advocate of any improvement that will benefit the city, and especially favors the establishment of a city park. He was in own Saturday and laid a proposition before a number of leading business men which made them instantly sit up and take notice. He even signed an agreement to carry out his part of the bargain. He offers a block of land bounded by Lemon, Chartres, Clementine and Cypress streets for a park. The ground has a frontage on Lemon and Clementina of 184 feet and is 328 feet long. The tract is subdivided into lots and Mr. Deutsch's listed prices on them totals $15,975. He agrees to sell them to the city at that figure and donate $500 if the ground is turned into a public park. Furthermore he doesn't want any cash but will take Anaheim securities at a low rate of interest in payment. This proposition gives the city a suitable site for a park at a cost of $10,975, which is only two-thirds of its actual value. To a Gazette representative Saturday Mr. Deutsch said: "I have always contemplated doing something for Anaheim, and I know of nothing that will be of more benefit to the city than a public park. I am now 82 years of age, and perhaps it is time I was carrying out my good intentions. I am offering this site, which I think is an admirable one, at two-thirds its actual value, and I don't want a dollar of money in payment. I am content to accept Anaheim bonds at 6 per cent interest and they can run for any number of years the city sees fit to issue them. I notice a blocks it will be impossible to place the posts at uniform distances apart, consequently it will require sixty or more to cover the distance. The property owners have agreed to pay one dollar per front foot toward the expense of installation, the city to pay the balance of the cost, also to furnish the electricity. Just what the total cost will be is not yet known, or at least, not made public. Many residents living beyond the prescribed limit have asked that the system be extended to take them in, but it was deemed advisable to limit the territory to the business section at present and to extend the territory later on petition of the property holders. The post selected is of ornamental design, topped by a five-cluster light. The lamps are of sufficient candle power to brilliantly light the streets. One of the best features of this scheme is that the numerous poles and network of wires will be eliminated. All poles within the district must come down and the wires placed underground. Both telephone companies have signified their willingness to do this without hesitation. The electric light poles also will come down and it is probable that the phone companies and the city will co-operate in this work and divide the expense. As there is now no obstacle in the way the promoters are anxious to have the work pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and it will probably be presented to the trustees for final action at the next meeting, and the trustees will act without delay. At the last meeting they instructed the library board to sign up its 156 foot frontage on South Los Angeles street and present the bill to the city clerk. Within a very short period of time the forest of poles and the network of overhead wires will be seen no more on Los Angeles and Center streets from Cypress to Broadway, and from Philadelphia to Clementina, and it will probably not be long before the sys- DUTCH PARTY A Dutch party was the entertainment provided by Mr. and Mrs. V. W. La Mont for a number of friends blden to spend Sunday evening at their home. The first part of the evening was passed at the whist tables, the first prize being awarded to Mrs. Wm. Lake and Mr. E. Barmes. The consolation went to Mrs. Chas. Pendleton and E. Schneider. After the cards the time was devoted to games and dancing. Place cards, score cards, prizes and decorations were all suggestive of the affair. A delicous supper was served at 11:30 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, which adjoins the home of the La Monts. Here the guests were seated at a huge round table which had as its centerpiece a cradle filled with violets and malden-hair ferns. Places were marked for Mr. and Mrs. F. Mauer, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schneider, Mr. and Mrs. Elde Barmes, Mr. and Mrs. C. Pendleton, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lake, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Schneider and Mr. and Mrs. Will Duckworth. nothing that will be of more benefit to the city than a public park. I am now 82 years of age, and perhaps it is time I was carrying out my good intentions. I am offering this site, which I think is an admirable one, at two-thirds its actual value, and I don't want a dollar of money in payment. I am content to accept Anaheim bonds at 6 per cent interest and they can run for any number of years the city sees fit to issue them. I notice a movement is on foot to erect triumphal arches at the four principal entrances of Anaheim, also that other substantial improvements are contemplated, but to my mind a public park is the greatest need of Anaheim." The site offered by Mr. Deutsch is the most suitable spot now available for a park. In fact the advocates of a park never hoped to secure a site so close in at a nominal figure. It is only a block from the postoffice, and is practically in the heart of the city. It is in a growing neighborhood and is rapidly increasing in value. Mr. Deutsch also states that the taxes are paid on this property up to next November, and that he recently paid $1634 for paving in front of it. By the will of the late Mrs. Clementina Langenberger $500 was left to the city for the erection of a public fountain. There could be no more suitable place for this fountain than in a park and it will be built there if the park is established. The question of a public park has been agitated spasmodically for a number of years. Nearly all the people of the city realize the necessity of a recreation ground where the citizens can gather on Sundays and other days when they have a few hours' spare time. Also the convenience it will be to strangers within our gates who now have no place to rest if they are compelled to spend an idle hour or so in town.

This was a close in site but not so desirable as the Deutsch tract, which is smaller but amply large for the needs of the town. SHORT SHIFT FOR A BOLD BURGLAR Steals Blank Check, Forges Name, and Lands in Jail After Cashing It. Fred Guatla was landed in the city jail late Thursday night and is now awaiting trial on two serious charges, either one of which is good for a number of years in the penitentiary. The charges hanging over him are burglary and forgery. Some time Thursday evening he broke into the Palace meat market by prying open a rear window. He first cut a hole in the rear door and tried to open it, but failing to get the door open he pried the window up and gained entrance through it. In the cash register he found only a small amount of change, not sufficient to pay him for his trouble, but in the office he ran across Mr. Schumacher's check book and conceived the idea of turning a few slips of paper into cash, thus adding forgery to burglary. He had already switched on the light in the office and pulled down the blind, so LOCAL TALENT IN A FAMOUS DRAMA SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION OF DAMON AND PYTHias AT MAS-ON THEATRE NEXT WEEK GREATEST STORY OF PAST AGES PRESENTED UNDER DIREC-TION OF LOCAL ARTISTS The production of Damon and Pythias, staged at the Mason theatre on Wednesday and Thursday nights, Dec. 9 and 10, will be a spectacular performance such as is rarely seen here. It is given by the Knights of Pythias under the direction of William Rasmus and his wife. The Anaheim K. P.'s make a triumphant success of everything they undertake, and it is safe to predict that this entertainment will be worth the price.

He hadalready switched on the light in theoffice and pulled down the blind, sobefore leaving the place he wrotea check payable to himself, in amount$15.90, signing Mr. Schumacher's nameto it. He tore six checks from thebook but this was the only one he cashed. He first flashed the check inBelmont saloon, but Steve Cottle refused to take it on the ground thatthe house never cashed checks for strangers. Then he went up to the Palacerooming house and tendered it to Mrs.Gilmore in exchange for two weeks' lodging. Mrs. Gilmore accepted it andgave him the change. Becoming suspicious after the fellow left the Belmont Cottled called upSchumacher. It was 11 o'clock and Mr. Schumacher had retired but he got up and answered the phone. He stated that he hadno recollection of writing a check forsuch a party and it would be well toput an officer on his trail. Mr. Cottle notified the police and within a fewminutes Jack Iman found the fellowand placed him under arrest. All thechange Mrs. Gilmore had given himwas found in his pocket, as he hadnot had sufficient time to spend any of it. Guatia was arraigned before Judge Howard Saturday morning and boundover to the superior court in the sumof $1000. Being unable to furnish bondhe was transferred to the county jailwhere he now languishes awaitingtrial. The complaint was signed byMr. Schumacher of the Palace market,consequently he will be tried on theburglary charge first. He has givenso many alliances since his arrest thatthe officers are at sea, regarding hisactual name. He repudiates thecharge that he is a Mexican, claimingto be a Spaniard. He was taken toSanta Ana Saturday and turned overto the sheriff. The story of Damon and Pythias isone of the most fascinating in all history,and the fact that it has lived fortwenty-three centuries proves that sincere friendship was appreciatedby people of all ages. These men livedin Syracuse, in Sicily, at the timewhen it was the capital of Dionysius.Damon was a senator and criticizedsome of the public acts of his ruler.Times were different from thepresent in those days, and free speechand a free press were not tolerated to suchan extent as they are today, consequently Senator Damon was hailedinto court for daring to speak disrespectfully of his superior, and,of course, was condemned to die onthe market place. Damon had a wife,Hermion, and a small son, and his chiefsource of grief while in prison wasthat he could not go home, bid themgood-bye, and settle up his financialaffairs. Pythias, a soldier, an intimate friend of Damon, offered himselfas hostage to Dionysius petitioningfor the release of Damon, and agreeingto take his place in prison underthe death sentence until his return, andto take his place on the scaffold providedhe failed to come back. Damonwent home but met with so manydifficulties on the return journey thathe arrived in the market place justin time to prevent his friend from losinghis head. Dionysius was so touchedby the fidelity and friendship ofthe two friends that he pardoned Damonand the three became inseparablefriends afterward.

The complaint against the girl was that she had forged the name of R. L. Brown to a $10 check passed at Taylor Bros. confectionery store on Tuesday, November 24. The check was made out to Grace Clever, which name the girl said was hers. She was clever enough to get the money on the bad check, but she was not clever enough to disguise her clothing and her goo-goo eyes, which had been mentioned in the description. The girl formerly lived with her parents at Delhi. Her father, C. E. Walker, now lives at Watts. Monday morning the girl was taken before Justice Cox, who was informed that she was on probation in Los Angeles county. She gave her age as 16 on August 25. Justice Cox ordered that she be returned to Los Angeles for violation of probation.
