LOCALS WIN A SNAPPY BALL GAME ONE TO NOTHING GAME ON HOME-GROUNDS WAS THE REAL ARTICLE ON SUNDAY CHINO PUT UP CLASSY BALL, AND ARE GENTLEMANLY ALL THE WAY ROUND With a score of 1 to 0, the cleanest and snappiest ball game played here in many a day was staged on the local grounds on Sunday afternoon, when the Chino nine and the Anaheim team crossed bats. The visitors were shut out, and during the game only sent one man as far as the third sack. That exciting event happened in the ninth inning, and to make the situation more tense Montijo passed a man to first. There were two out and the Chino fans began to unloosen much enthusiasm. But it was to no avail, as the next man up was retired. He sent up a high fly into the center field which was gathered in by Combs. Montijo pitched a splendid game, and the Anaheim team played classy ball all the way through. Combs of the locals scored in the fifth inning, he being the only man to get home. He sent the ball over the second base-man and on a wild throw to first the runner went to second. He later worked his way home. Volze distinguished himself by sending the ball in deep center for a two bagger, the only one made dur-gage belonging to Perry Taylor, in Santa Ana, together with two Ford automobiles which were in the garage. The loss on the building and machines is total, but the people interested would not say what that loss would be, until the insurance adjuster comes to make settlement for the fire. It is safe to say, however, that it will amount to nearly, if not quite, $4000. There is no mystery as to the origin of this fire. Some of the help were hunting in one corner for a spark coil which had fallen to the floor. He used a lighted match, and a gasoline tank did the roast. The main tank was right near where the fire originated, and it was at once seen there was no possibility of putting the fire out, with so much gasoline at hand to burn, and an explosion imminent.

Combs of the locals scored in the fifth inning, he being the only man to get home. He sent the ball over the second baseman and on a wild throw to first the runner went to second. He later worked his way home. Volze distinguished himself by sending the ball in deep center for a two bagger, the only one made during the entire session. The game was devoid of stick-work of any consequence. The infield on both sides played well, and errors were as scarce as hon's teeth. Any ball that happened to get into the outer garden was also well taken care of. The line-up: ANAHEIM POSITION CHINO L. Porter third base E. Jertbery Pettigrew catcher Bovee W. Porter shortstop G. Jertbery Leake second base C. Krause McClain first base Palmer Combs center field Brandon Vetter left field Murphy Volze right field Curry Montijo pitcher G. Krause The Chino team is composed of a gentlemanly set of ball players. Their conduct on the diamond would be well for other teams to pattern after. There was none of that "rag chewing" usually encountered. The boys are good ball players and should be given a return game. The local team is much improved and are capable of giving a good account of themselves upon any occasion. Editor McDonnald headed a bunch of Chino fans and was in the game all the time. His rooting afforded much amusement to the grandstanders. During the ninth inning, when the Chino boys showed signs of annoying a tally, McDonnald felt impelled to leave the grandstand and went out in the bleacher territory to have more room to cavort around and gave the players some rapid fire rooting to goad them on, but the case was hopeless. A bunch of kiddies in the grand stand attempted to take a fall out of Mac, but he brushed them away with his impromptu poetic verses and satire, and got the decision. A large crowd of fans came over from Chino to witness the game. Among them were a number of Chino's charming daughters and this perhaps had something to do with the classy SPORTING CONTESTS AND FIRST CLASS MUSIC WILL BE ENLIVENING INCIDENTS The fourth annual barbecue given by the Orange County Wine company to its patrons and friends promises to be an event. Preparations are on foot for the entertainment of eight hundred guests and nothing will be neglected that can add to the enjoyment of the occasion. Four years ago this company inaugurated this annual feast, and each year it has become more popular and the number of guests larger. People from every section of Orange county and from Los Angeles will attend this year, but ample entertainment for all will be provided. Sunday May 23, is the date fixed and the scene will be somewhere near the county park, but the exact ground has not yet been decided upon. Conveyances will be provided for all who have no autos of their own, and provisions sufficient to feed an army will be on the ground. The best cooks in the county have been engaged to handle the barbecued meats, which is assurance that nobody will leave the grounds hungry. Here is a list of the head cooks, and this brigade will be increased by assistants should the occasion arise. John H. Cook, James Ortega, W.H. Houts, Peter Nicolas and Wm. Schumacher. W.H. Fleischman will have charge of the carving department. He is an expert, as he knows the location of every joint in a steer, or any other animal that is good to eat. Other committees are: Refreshments—Paul Nicolas, Harold Lovering and H.P.Noll. Entertainment and Decorations—Herman Stern. Publicity—W.E.Wortman and E.R.Abbey. Marshals—Charley Osborne, Otto Felbaum and August Thill. Master of Ceremonies—Geo.W.Hamler. The Anaheim band has been engaged as the chief music maker for the occasion, but it is probable that stringed and vocal music will be put on the program. All sorts of athletic sports will be indulged in and prizes offered to the winners. DoWitt Van Court, the famous sporting editor of Los Angeles, will referee the games.

Among them were a number of Chino's charming daughters and this perhaps had something to do with the classy article put up by their players. Stevens umpired a splendid game, giving the best of satisfaction. His decisions were a vast improvement over those handed out the week previous. Good umpiring is half the game. Mott of Garden Grove was on hand, intending to play, but through an oversight another player was put in. Mott is one of the best ball tossers in the land and has played in the coast league. He is now living on his ranch in the Grove and has been signed to play in the future with the Anaheim club. He will strengthen the team mightly, and the fans are tickled to learn that he will again be seen on the home grounds. Volze and Combs are both residents here and are valuable acquisitions to the team. Other members of the home team are fixtures and the nine is one of the strongest now in semi-professional circles in Southern California. A very fair crowd was in attendance. The locals will play Universal City on the home grounds Sunday afternoon. The grounds are being put in better condition, and the managers hope soon to have one of the best ball parks in these parts. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE A fire which started at ten o'clock Monday night, totally destroyed the Anaheim band has been engaged as the chief music maker for the occasion, but it is probable that stringed and vocal music will be put on the program. All sorts of athletic sports will be indulged in and prizes offered to the winners. DeWitt Van Court, the famous sporting editor of Los Angeles, will referee the games. A number of boxing contests have been staged, and there will also be foot races, jumping contests, discus and hammer throws, and a general program of track and field stunts. Speech making, of course will be indulged in after dinner. Some of our best local orators will be present and a variety of subjects will be discussed in eloquent style. The Orange County Wine company, with Pierre Nicolas proprietor and Herman Noll manager, has given these entertainments every year since taking charge of the business. They have become popular events, and all who have been privileged to enjoy them heretofore look forward with anticipations of pleasure to the next one. According to the official card issued by the company the men responsible for the affair and who are guaranteeing a good time to all visitors, are Joffre P. Nicholas, proprietor; Rabbi H. P. Noll, the manager; and Lord Kitchener Osborne, Kalser Wilhelm Fellbaum and Von Hindenberg Thill, Executive staff.

CARING FOR A Among the ma ANAHEIM GAZETTE SLEEPER FACES M'DADE AT CAPITOL GOES TO SACRAMENTO TO APPEAR BEFORE COMMITTEE ON REVENUE AND TAXATION TAKES MAPS AND DOCUMENTS SHOWING O'NEILL'S PROPERTY IN THIS COUNTY IS ADEQUATELY ASSESSED County Assessor James Sleeper appeared before the committee on revenue and taxation at Sacramento on Tuesday evening and answered sensational charges made by J. J. McDade of San Francisco, concerning inequalities in the assessment of Richard O'Neill, whose property lies in Orange and San Diego counties. McDade is O'Neill's brother-in-law, and between the two men there exists but very little friendship. It is said O'Neill some time ago began suit against McDade for an accounting of monies taken by McDade from the O'Neill estate. Sleeper has nothing to do with the San Diego assessment. He went to Sacramento prepared to answer questions concerning the O'Neill assessments in this county. His statements show that in 1910, before Sleeper was assessor, O'Neill's personal property was assessed at $15,000, that in 1914 it was $40,875, and this year is $49,835, and that the real estate is assessed at $447,445. One statement as time there is none of which the value is less appreciated than that of animal protection. Whoever has watched animals closely and impartially must be convinced that they stand in a much nearer spiritual relation to us than the majority of people suspect. Not only on account of the animals themselves is their protection urgently necessary, but also as a means to raise the whole human moral outlook and the conduct of life. It is extremely foolish to neglect their protection on the ground that the welfare of men is more necessary than that of animals. The care of animals is not at all antagonistic to the care of men, but is on the contrary, the noblest way of helping mankind; it saves men from sinking into brutality. We at once open to men a source of the highest enjoyment when we awaken in them an understanding of the soul life in animals. He who can hear the song of a bird unmoved and without rapture, and who cannot discover in it the wealth of love which constrains the little songster to pour forth his melody; he who does not delight in the bolderous jubilation with which the dog greets his human friends, in the faithful eyes of animals so full of expression, in the beauty and interest of their ways and actions; he who does not love to watch the free unfolding of their undeveloped natures—to him are wanting a joyous and a refining moral influence. Such a person is indeed incapable of a right perception of natural feeling.—Zurcher Blatter. Returns Home With Honors as Engineer Continued from Page 1 BELIEVE SLAV IS TELLING THE TRUTH MR. KEECH OF OPINION RUSS CONSUL'S LETTER IS INSUFFICIENT SCOUTS INSANITY CHARGE AND ASKS THAT PROOF BE FORTH-COMING THAT MAN IS IMPOSTOR E. E. Keech of Santa Ana, who met Metro Swartzkopensky here some weeks ago, and at whose invitation the Russian went to Santa Ana and delivered a number of lectures, maintains that the letter of the Russian consul in San Francisco, contains no evidence to show what Swartzkopensky was never in the Russian army. The consul's statement that Swartzkopensky is probably insane, having experienced great suffering, and is not now telling the truth, is regarded lightly by Mr. Keech, who says he is satisfied the Russian is a military man, and also that he believes the man is telling the truth. Swartzkopensky dined at Mr. Keech's residence on several occasions, and the two discussed at great length conditions in Russia and Siberia. Mr. Keech has been for many years a close student of Russian history, and he knows that all the statements made by Swartzkopensky are true because he has read similar tortures experienced by other exiles in his readings concerning Russia and Siberia, covering a period of many Sleeper has nothing to do with the San Diego assessment. He went to Sacramento prepared to answer questions concerning the O'Neill assessments in this county. His statements show that in 1910, before Sleeper was assessor, O'Neill's personal property was assessed at $15,000, that in 1914 it was $40,875, and this year is $49,835, and that the real estate is assessed at $447,445. In one statement as reported in the press McDade is alleged to have said that the Santa Margarita ranch was assessed at $90,000 only. Sleeper took with him a map showing what each section of O'Neill's property in this county is assessed at. This map shows what all of the land adjoining O'Neill's property in this county is placed at on the assessor's books, and Sleeper declares that the records prove conclusively that O'Neill if anything is assessed higher in this county than is surrounding territory. The attacks in Sacramento are made as part of an argument that there ought to be a tax commissioner to have a general survey of assessments made by county assessors. While McAde's chief assault was upon the San Diego assessment, the Orange county official went prepared to defend himself. "All I want," said Sleeper, "is that the real facts and figures be taken. I stand on them solidly. I am going prepared to show the exact facts, so far as Orange county is concerned." A despatch from Sacramento dealing with McDade's charges is to the following effect: In referring to the assessments on the Santa Margarita ranch in advocating before the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee the adoption of Senator Thompson's proposed constitutional amendment to create a State Tax Commission, J. J. McDade, former Sheriff of San Francisco, has stirred up a hornet's nest in Southern California. McDade quoted figures to show that the famous ranch property located in San Diego and Orange counties was assessed for only $90,000 under the present taxation system; and it was returning an annual profit of $250,000. As a result of this James Sleeper and Montgomery Moulton, assessors of Orange and San Diego counties, appeared before the Senate committee. Returns Home With Honors as Engineer Continued from Page 1 the engineers of this plant in putting in the foundations for these compressors. The foundations are not the solid concrete block that is customarily used. Instead it is a reinforced concrete slab less than four feet deep and having reinforced side and middle concrete walls underneath. All of the machines have been operated at the same time on various occasions and this construction of the foundations has proved to be quite satisfactory. The steam is supplied to these machines as well as to the balance of the power plant by four 300-h. p. vertical water tube boilers, made by the Erie Works, set up in two banks, these being provided with Foster superheaters. The boilers are also provided with Taylor underfeed stokers and with forced draft, using steam driven fan outfit. This ice making plant consists of six latest improved Frick ice making machines with the McCormak raw water cover arrangement, which leaves the tank top entirely unobstructed and has no pipe work other than the small drop pipes under the tank top covers. The total capacity of the ice making plant is normally 200 tons daily, but as much as 250 tons can be readily frozen. Space is provided with a second floor and ground floor on which similar tanks may be placed, totalling the same amount of ice, thus making the ultimate ice making capacity practically 600 tons. The character of the buildings provided, the completeness of the equipment and the very low power cost realized make this a model plant of its kind, reflective great credit upon its designers, builders and equipers. CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS Abraham Acuna, the man who kept an alleged blind pig in Santa Ana was hailed before Judge J. A. Willison, Friday and pleaded not guilty upon arraignment. If the Russian consul at San Francisco knew Swartzkopensky to be an impostor," said Mr. Keech, "why does he not send documents here proving his charge? This man addressed a number of meetings at San Francisco. Why did not the consul in that city expose him at that time. The statement on the part of the Russian consul that Swartzkopensky is insane seems to me to be ridiculous. The man is not insane, very far from it, but his sufferings in Silberian exile, are quite enough to my mind to bring insanity to any man. This is what exile in Silberia usually means to political prisoners. They are imprisoned and tortured into insanity, and no one knows what happens to them thereafter. The letter of the Russian consul furnishes no evidence to me that Swartzkopensky is an impostor. Indeed, I did not expect to hear a Russian consul speak well of this man. Yet this man spoke several times in San Francisco, making these terrible charges against the Russian government. Why did not the consul expose him at that time, and if he were an impostor, why did not the consul cause his arrest? This man Swartzkopensky is doing great injury to the Russian government in his lectures. He is causing sympathy to be turned away from Russia during the present great European conflict. Either his stories are true, or they are false. The Russian consul must prove to me, with better evidence than he now presents, that the man is an impostor before I shall believe that such is the case." It is said on good authority that Swartzkopensky is not the man's real name. He said while at Santa Ana that owing to the fact that his mother and son live in Russia, his son being a non-commissioned officer in the Russian army at Warsaw, he would not dare to make these charges over his true name. If the man's true name be not Swartzkopensky what ground has McDade quoted figures to show that the famous ranch property located in San Diego and Orange counties was assessed for only $90,000 under the present taxation system and it was returning an annual profit of $250,000. As a result of this James Sleeper and Montgomery Moulton, assessors of Orange and San Diego counties, appeared before the Senate committee at a special meeting Tuesday night. McDade appeared before the committee and reiterated his statement, and request that the assessors from the south furnish the committee data to disprove the claims. McDade wired Assessor Sleeper of Orange the following: "I will appear before the Senate committee and state that the assessment on the Santa Margarita ranch is scandalously low. Also that for years you were a land renter under O'Neill, its owner, and under political and financial obligations to him. Attend and answer these statements. Bring full copy of Jerome O'Nell's sworn statement to you as Assessor. Unless he is afraid to appear, bring him with you." McDade also wired Assessor Moulton of San Diego in a similar vein. Senator Cogaswell, chairman of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, after going over McDade's data said: "There must be something radically wrong with the present taxation system if such assessments as those on the Santa Margarita ranch exist." McDade was a former legislator, and asserts that he merely used the famous ranch as an illustration of his point that a new taxation system is needed in California. CARING FOR ANIMALS ELEVATES Among the many movements of our CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS Abraham Acuna, the man who kept an alleged blind pig in Santa Ana was haled before Judge J. A. Willson, Friday and pleaded not guilty upon arraignment. Judge Wilson held him to trial in ball of $500. Acuna retained Wallace W. Davis as his attorney and asked for a jury trial. The man has been suspected of selling liquor for some time, but it was not until circus day that the officers got him with the goods. He gave his bootlegger, Perez, the liquor, and Perez would deliver the goods and collect the money. When the house on Lincoln street was searched—the officers seized four large sacks filled with bottles of beer, two large demijohns, containing wine or whiskey and several large bottles of wine and whiskey. The whole must have been worth nearly $100. There were thirty-five quarts of beer alone. The seized goods are still in the rooms at the city hall police headquarters. Perez was fined $100 for illicit selling of liquor. CHOCOLATE CREAM DATES Take the stoves from one pound of dates by slitting in the side of each date with a knife. To two tablespoons sweet cream and half teaspoon vanilla add enough confectioner's sugar to form a stiff paste. Cut with a knife a piece large enough to fill the date. Melt a couple of squares of bitter chocolate, add half teaspoon melted paraffin, roll each date in this mixture till coated, lift out by one end with a hatpin, drain and lay on buttered plates to dry. It is said on good authority that Swartzkopensky is not the man's real name. He said while at Santa Ana that owing to the fact that his mother and son live in Russia, his son being a non-commissioned officer in the Russian army at Warsaw, he would not dare to make these charges over his true name. If the man's true name be Swartzkopensky, what ground has the Russian consul at San Francisco for saying that the man was never in the Russian army? That Swartzkopensky is a man of military training is indisputable, and that he knows Russia and its history perfectly well, cannot be doubted for a moment. He claims to be personally acquainted with General Kuropatkin, and says this official signed his commitment to Siberian exile after his trial at Moscow. Asked who relieved Kuropatkin at Mukden after the latter's retreat from Harben in the Russo-Jap war, he immediately replied, Gen. Linovitch. This is correct, and the Russian's answers to many other questions concerning the Russian army and navy were known to the publisher of this newspaper to be true. He knew particulars of the presence of the Russian cruiser, Lenn., in San Francisco harbor during the Jap war, called the name of the commander of that vessel, and had at his fingers ends ready information concerning many matters effecting that vessel, its commander and the army and navy of Russia. People here who met the man agree with Mr. Koech that sufficient evidence has not been forthcoming from the Russian consul to justify the charge made by that official against him. They maintain that if Swartzkopensky's statements are untrue, it is the duty of the Russian consul to disprove them, and that if the man's stor- SLAV IS ING THE UTH OF OPINION RUSS LETTER IS FICIENT TY CHARGE AND ROOF BE FORTHHAT MAN IS OSTOR Santa Ana, who met opensky here some whose invitation the Santa Ana and delivlectures, maintains the Russian consul contains no evidence wartzkopensky was novarmy.

The best way to do it, is to create a Trustees Asked for $100,-000 Bond Issue Continued from Page 1 ter covers the entire block on which the library building is located. The whole block, including the library site contains a little over 5 acres. It is bounded on the east by Los Angeles street, on the west by Lemon street, on the south by Broadway street and on the north by Chestnut street. The price of the same is a little over $64,000. The price as compared with adjacent property is lower than has been asked and in two instances sold for in the adjacent block. The price asked for property situated opposite this site on Los Angeles street is $50 per front foot higher and is of less depth than the same frontage in the library block. Property on the south side of Broadway across from the civic center site has sold from 3 to 8 dollars per front foot higher than the same frontage has been secured for in the civic center site. Therefore, the price for the civic center site must be considered reasonable. Here are a few reasons why we should have a civic center. 1. The proposed site for the civic center is centrally located. It will serve for park purposes as well as a site for the civic buildings. 2. The civic center will be a stimulant for a larger city, because it will attract home seekers. 3. It will be the means of creating a more beautiful city, because it will create a sense of civic pride. 4. More capital will come to our city on account of the increased number of homeseekers, who will be attracted by the civic center and the spirit of progressiveness shown by our citizens. 5. The proposed site for the civic center will be used and enjoyed by our citizens, on account of its central location. 6. It will be cheaper to have the park and civic buildings all combined in one block. The maintenance will be at great cost, why not lead in this matter instead of being forced to follow a little later. 12 Anaheim is the principal city of northern Orange county, the main distributing center in the richest portion of the highest county in the state, we must maintain our position, the citizens are investing heavily in private enterprises in this city, now is the time to safeguard our investments. The best way to do it, is to create a civic center now, and thus lay the foundation for a greater, more beautiful and more substantial city. A GOOD IDEA A Santa Ana paper makes the following suggestion relative to beautifying the state highway: "The finest and best stretch of road in the state of California is about 13 miles long, from the north city limits of Fullerton to the east city limits of Santa Ana. Almost as good a road already extends north and west from Fullerton through the icomparably rich and beautiful La Habra valley, connecting with the fine boulevards of Los Angeles county; and soon the same kind of road will extend south and east through the great ranches of Orange county to the San Diego county line. "But, considering only the central section of the state highway through this county from Fullerton to Santa Ana, with its substantial concrete base and fine asphalt surfacing; considering the rich and beautiful and densely populated territory through which it passes, with the thriving cities of Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton—with Orange just off the main line, but a part of the splendid whole,—what an opportunity we have for making a driveway that would cause Orange county and its principal towns to be known and talked of all over the world! "Some plan should be and we believe could be devised for the systematic planting of trees and flowering shrubs, the placing of ornamental lights, and the cultivation of roadside and railroad rights of way at least from Fullerton to Orange and Santa Ana." "An improvement district might be formed for the initial improvements, and the care might be in charge of the county board of forestry and the work done, in the main, by county prisoners."
