Manworne, whose real name is said to be Wm. H. Houde, a barber of Brea, was shot and almost instantly killed by Robert F. Brown, a restaurant man Friday night. Manworne's wife has been visiting friends at Fresno for several weeks past and during her absence the husband was reported to be continuously under the influence of liquor. Finding him drunk Friday night on her return home Mrs. Manworne declared her intention of returning to Fresno. Calling at the house at nine o'clock Brown found the barber drunk and abusing his wife. He interfered and was struck on the head with a beer bottle. Brown went to a neighbor's and borrowed a shot gun with which he intended to guard the crazed man until the arrival of the sheriff who had been telephoned for. After remaining quiet for a few moments Manworne again assaulted Brown with a beer bottle who was finally forced to shoot him in self defense, the charge of shot entering his stomach. Manworne died half an hour removing part or all of a receptacle and suing other article different indicated on the package of foods put up in pack that the weight or malfunctioned on the label. Said partly decomposed men. All these provisions for the protection of property for the prevention of manufacture and sale drugs. The enactment of law was largely due to recommendations of a resident. The bill which was introduced in the republican senator, Hill and although it had no votes in that branch of four votes were recrats. The bill met more attention in the house where report was filed against sentatives Adamson Russell, democratic Committee on Interest Commerce, who assorted food legislation is a new jurisdiction of the state not within the jurisdictional government. Only seventeen men house had the temeriority the bill but every one democrat. The pure new republican idea to approve. DEATH OF MRS. Mrs. Caroline J.

Meyers CASE VOIDED AFTER TWO DAY'S TRIAL Marshall Ingram Wins in Suit Brought By Manufacturing Concern Suit to recover from Marshall Ingram $862.44, brought by the Miami Machine Works of Los Angeles, was declared void in Superior court Saturday. The case can be reopened on payment of costs by the plaintiff. W. W. Conklin and Marshall Ingram, doing business as the Direction indicator company with headquarters at Anaheim, went into the business of making and selling mechanical direction indicators for Ford automobiles. On July 31, 1914, W. W. Conklin, representing himself as manager of the company, entered into a contract with the Main Machine Works, Los Angeles, for making 1000 of the indicators agreeing to pay therefor and for the dies necessary for the manufacture $1235. Of this sum $400 was paid, and the Maine company brought suit to collect $862.44 in four different amounts. Conklin defaulted, and the suit was continued against Ingram, who alleges Conklin entered into the contract with the Maine company without proper authority. Ingram is represented by Attorneys Leonard Evans of Anaheim, and H. C. Head of Santa Ana. REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION ALWAYS CONSTRUCTIVE Enactment of Pure Food Law a Wise And Beneficient Move WASHINGTON, June 30.(Special correspondence)—No other national legislation within the last quarter of a century has done more to protect ber drunk and abusing his wife. He interfered and was struck on the head with a beer bottle. Brown went to a neighbor's and borrowed a shot gun with which he intended to guard the crazed man until the arrival of the sheriff who had been telephoned for. After remaining quiet for a few moments Manworne again assaulted Brown with a beer bottle who was finally forced to shoot him in self defense, the charge of shot entering his stomach. Manwome died half an hour later. A coroner's jury Saturday exonerated Brown of all blame in the matter. Manworne is said to have been a deserter from the United States navy. GOLD DEPOSITS Though it is the p logical survey to ext tions to all parts o times happens that to do geologic work tual mineral discoverer. The survey tempts to follow up discoveries of valu surveys and investig means permit. A respired by the discovery Innoko district in I sued as Bulletin 577. The investigation developed the fact th tions favorable to REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION ALWAYS CONSTRUCTIVE Enactment of Pure Food Law a Wise And Beneficient Move WASHINGTON, June 30.—(Special correspondence)—No other national legislation within the last quarter of a century has done more to protect and promote the health of the American people and prevent financial loss through fraud and deception than has enacted in 1906 by a congress that was republican in both branches, and signed by a republican president. This law was peculiarly a republican idea for it asserted the power of the general government to enact legislation of this kind, a power which was denied by democrats who were advocates of the doctrine of states rights. President Wilson apparently overlooked this law when he said recently that the republican party had not had a new idea in thirty years. The only votes cast against the bill were by democrats, and one of those was by Congressman A. S. Burleson, of Texas, now postmaster general, the only member of that congress specially honored by President Wilson. While commonly referred to as a pure food law, the act regulates the manufacture and sale of not only food but drugs, confectionary, medicines and liquors; insures purity, prevents misbranding, prohibits adulteration; requires full weight and measure, and forbids use of poisonous and deleterious substances. The law requires that if certain habit forming drugs be contained in a medical preparation, that fact shall be plainly stated on the label and that the quantity of alcohol contained in medicine be specified. It prohibits removing part or all of the contents of a receptacle and substitution of another article different from that indicated on the package. In the case of foods put up in packages, it requires that the weight or measure be specified on the label. Sale or packing of partly decomposed meats is forbidden. All these provisions were necessary for the protection of public health and for the prevention of fraud in the manufacture and sale of food and drugs. The enactment of the pure food law was largely due to the prescient recommendations of a republican president. The bill which became a law was introduced in the senate by a republican senator, Heyburn of Idaho, and although it had only four negative votes in that branch of congress, those four votes were recorded by democrats. The bill met more vigorous opposition in the house where a minority report was filed against it by Representatives Adamson, Bartlett and Russell, democratic members of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, who asserted that pure food legislation is a matter within the jurisdiction of the several states, and not within the jurisdiction of the general government. Only seventeen members of the house had the temerity to vote against the bill but every one of these was a democrat. The pure food bill was one new republican idea that they couldn't approve. DEATH OF MRS. COULTER Mrs. Caroline J. Coulter, wife of W. F. Coulter, died at her home northeast of this city on Saturday evening, June 19, after a long illness, aged 71 years. Mrs. Coulter has been a resident of California for 24 years, 14 years of that time being spent on the ORANGE COUNTY DAY AT RIVERSIDE 500 Persons Visited the Experiment Station and Were Entertained Orange county day at the Riverside state citrus experiment station drew a crowd of about 500 from this county and was put down as a red letter day on the calendar of the experiment station management. Dr. Webber and his associates were greatly pleased with the interest shown in the experiment work and one visitors were shown every attention that could make their visit profitable. Short addresses were given by Dr. Webber and other experts, but the main interest of the day was centered in the practical work that is being done with an eight-year-old grove at the experiment farm and another 20-acre grove which has been leased for purposes of experimentation. At the farm grove, the trees were laid off into plots, in each of which experiments are being conducted with various kinds of fertilizer and cover crops. The comparative values of fertilizers are being ascertained; and the experiment farm experts themselves are not entirely willing to give a verdict so far achieved. A number of visitors, however, received the impression, which was not discouraged by the experts, that the trees doing best were those fertilized by stable manure and rock phosphate, with a cover crop of Meillotus clover. In the 20-acre grove, which is near Arlington, experiments are being made in non-cultivation, a mulch being used and no plowing being done, on the theory that turning up the ground kills the benevolent bacteria. Experiments in irrigation and pruning are in progress, the severe pruning methods prevailing in Italy being job is practically completed and there is a wide, smooth road with easy grades all the way from Olive through the mountain section to the Riverside county line. This road is to be paved within a few months. This county is holding back its pavement until Riverside county gets ready to do its grading in the canyon below Corona. With both counties working at the same time the length of time the canyon will have to be closed will be reduced. Riverside is anxious to start work but is being held back on account of difficulties over a right of way through the Scully ranch at a point where it is proposed to take the new road around Spoon Hill in order to reduce the grade. The ranch owner is asking $6000 for a right of way and is going to stand a condemnation suit. It is believed here that work in the canyon should start by September. The concrete base on the Irvine-Laguna Beach road has been in constant use for weeks by automobiles passing to and from San Diego. The County Highway Commission is completing the rock and oil surfacing of this road. The surfacing has been done without interfering with travel. Automobiles on the San Diego trip have their choice of going either by Laguna Beach or by San Juan Capistrano, the road to which is now in good shape and the shorter of the two. Hundreds of machines have been using both routes for a month past. State highway contractors on sections between Santa Ana and the San Diego county line are urged by the State authorities to use every effort to rush the work. A section between Tustin and Culver's Corner and Irvine was thrown open recently and is accommodating a brisk travel. County highway contractors are now at work on sections of road at Paso Robles Smolters Wilkinson DEATH OF MRS. COULTER Mrs. Caroline J. Coulter, wife of W. F. Coulter, died at her home north-east of this city on Saturday evening, June 19, after a long illness, aged 71 years. Mrs. Coulter has been a resident of California for 24 years, 14 years of that time being spent on the orange ranch where she died. Mrs. Coulter was a member of St. Michael's Episcopal church of this city, of the social and auxiliary guilds of the church and was also a member of Fullerton chapter, No. 191, Order of the Eastern Star. She always took great interest in these organizations when she was able to attend, and for a number of years was an officer of the Order of the Eastern Star. A woman of great heart, kind, generous and charitable, she will be greatly missed. Funeral was held at St. Michael's church, Friday, Rev. David Todd Gillmor conducting the services, assisted by Rev. William Dearing of Orange. Fullerton chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, attended in a body. At the Anaheim community mausoleum Rev. Gillmor concluded the service of the church, after which the Eastern Star services were held. Mrs. Elmer Ford and Mrs. John R. Gardiner sang Abide With Me and Nearer My God To Thee. The pallbearers were Henry Heterbrink, W. L. Hale, Fred Snyder and R. T. Davis of Fullerton, and Henry Whitaker and Frank W. Champion of Anaheim. Mrs. Coulter leaves, besides her husband, two sons, W. F. Jr., and B. H. Coulter. GOLD DEPOSITS IN ALASKA Though it is the purpose of the geologic survey to extend its investigations to all parts of Alaska, it sometimes happens that it is impossible to do geologic work in advance of actual mineral discoveries by the prospector. The survey, however, attempts to follow up the reported new discoveries of valuable minerals by surveys and investigations as soon as means permit. A report on work inspired by the discovery of gold in the Innoko district in 1906 has been issued as Bulletin 578. The investigation seems to have developed the fact that geologic conditions favorable to the occurrence of trees doing best were those fertilized by stable manure and rock phosphate, with a cover crop of Meillotus clover. In the 20-acre grove, which is near Arlington, experiments are being made in non-cultivation, a mulch being used and no plowing being done, on the theory that turning up the ground kills the benevolent bacteria. Experiments in irrigation and pruning are in progress, the severe pruning methods prevailing in Italy being tried out. The 20-acre grove which was recently taken over, was in bad shape, and the results on this tract will be watched with interest by those who visited it Saturday. The visitors were rewarded for their trip by the treatment of many of the practical problems which they themselves face and the occasion did much to arouse greater interest in this section in the experiment work. WALKED IN HIS SLEEP In a peculiar accident at his home early Sunday morning John Teasdale of Orange was severely and painfully injured, receiving a broken nose and bruises about the face. The peculiar side of the mishap lies in the fact that Mr Teasdale was walking in his sleep when he met with the accident and the manner in which he received the injuries is not clearly known. Mrs. Teasdale was aware that he had left his bed about two o'clock in the morning and attempted to restrain him, but being only partly roused herself her exerts made no impression on the somnambulist. A little later she was completely awakened by hearing him groan and saw him lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She hastily summoned Dr. Chapline to the house and her husband's wounds weer treated: It was a bad fracture and the bones were protruding through the flesh. A long and plain scratch on a tall dresser in the room is thought to have been caused by collision with Mr. Teasdale's face. No other explanation can be found for the accident. He was very weak from loss of blood before his wounds were dressed but it is thought that he will recover without serious consequences. OPPOSED TO CHANGE The Villa Park Improvement Association is ready to go to war to prevent any change in the route of the Santiago boulevard. At the meeting of the County Highway Commission on Tuesday a petition was received asking that the boulevard be continued 2500 feet south on Tustin avenue from Shoemaker's corner, to turn to the east in front of the El Tovar Rancho property. The Villa Park association is opposed to the change. Representatives of the association said that all of the right of way for the upper route, with the turn at Shoemaker's corner, has been secured except that from Martin on the McMullen place. The Villa Park people are ready to give bond to pay the cost of condemnation proceedings, and they are gongig to ask the county to proceed at once and get the right of way through the courts. WATER RESOURCES OF THE NORTH PACIFIC The United States geological survey has published as Water Supply Paper 332-A, its annual volume for 1912 showing the results of measurement of the principal streams in the north Pacific drainage basins. The field work has been carried on by the federal survey in cooperation with the states of Montana, Idaho, and Washington, and gaging stations were maintained during the year at more to do geologic work in advance of actual mineral discoveries by the prospector. The survey, however, attempts to follow up the reported new discoveries of valuable minerals by surveys and investigations as soon as means permit. A report on work inspired by the discovery of gold in the Innoko district in 1906 has been issued as Bulletin 578. The investigation seems to have developed the fact that geologic conditions favorable to the occurrence of auriferous deposits are repeated in many places in this part of Alaska, a fact that augurs well for the future of the mining industry in this region. NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS Death may come to several people as a result of accidents happening in various parts of Orange county during the period of time extending from Saturday evening until Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Paul B. Anderson, son of Robert Anderson, Santa Ana, is suffering from severe concussion of the brain as a result of having been pitched from a wagon during a runaway near Hewes Park. William Swim, 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Swim, of Santa Ana, is suffering from concussion of the brain as a result of having been hurled from his bicycle on West Fifth street Saturday evening. Mrs. J. M. Dwyer, of Whittler, is at the Santa Ana hospital suffering from a broken collar bone as the result of the automobile in which she was riding turning turtle on one of the Alliso canyon grades south of Laguna Sunday evening. Her husband received minor injuries. Mrs. T. H. Newman of Long Beach sustained a fractured leg when she was run into by an automobile driven by E. L. Warner of Santa Ana Sunday. ORANGE COUNTY'S PAVED HIGHWAYS Santa Ana Canyon Road Now Open To Riverside Although there are a few roads in Orange county where travel finds interference on account of construction work, the county as a whole was never better shape for summer tours than it is now. Every beach on the coast can be reached by paved roads; pavement reaches to nearly every interior community, and the work of constructing good roads connecting this county with sister counties is far advanced. Two roads connecting with Los Angeles county have been in use for several months, the state highway by way of La Habra and Whittler being one, and the other being the county paved road by way of Westminster and Seal Beach. The contractor on the Brea Canyon road between Fullerton and Pomonn will finish pouring concrete in three weeks, and the road will be open for travel in a little over four weeks. When he finishes his work in Brea Canyon George Wlegand will move his men to the gap north of Stanton and will finish the road joining the Los Angeles line by way of Anaheim, Stanton and Cypress. The Santa Ana Canyon road, the main thoroughfare between Orange county and Riverside county, is now open and in fine shape. There is some grading work going on above Olive and for half a mile the good is a little rough in places. However the field work has been carried on by the federal survey in cooperation with the states of Montana, Idaho, and Washington, and gaging stations were maintained during the year at more than 150 points. These records of the behavior of the rivers throughout the year, and year after year, are of the utmost importance in the consideration of all projects relating to the development of water supply for irrigation, power, or for any other purpose. WOMAN HAY BALER Mrs. R. S. Jacober of Newhope is managing a hay baler and what is more she knows the business and is making good at it. Last year when the work was in charge of a foreman she spent two weeks at work on the baler. She poked wires and tied them just as well as anyone ever on the job. This year the baler over which Mrs. Jacober has direct oversight has no foreman. She is foreman as well as manager and cook. Her husband is foreman of another baler at work elsewhere. Mrs. Jacober takes contracts to do baling by the ton. Just at present she is at work on barley hay. Later she will bale bean straw and alfalfa. There are six men at work in the outfit of which Mrs. Jacober is boss. She not only tells the men what they shall do, but she also tells them what they shall eat. At least, she buys all the supplies and does all the cooking not only for the six men but also for her family. As yet Mrs. Jacober is not a driver of an automobile.

RASMUSSEN 107 WEST CENTER Pacific 354-J Home 44 B-U-I-C-K AGENCY OPPOSES PARKING ON BROADWAY Alexander Henry Has Vigorous Ideas About Paving Thoroughfare Editor Gazette:—About two years ago Judge Shanley and myself appeared before the trustees of Anaheim requesting them to have our respective streets paved, namely Broadway, Philadelphia and Lemon. Mr. Shanley was appointed a committee to take the census of the people living on Lemon street, and Mr. Woods and myself were appointed to canvas Broadway. We worked on it for over two months, and got over and above the number of signatures required by law. In the meantime the non-progressives and drones had two petitions out to block our plans, but when the drones discovered they were beaten they got up a petition by a man named McLaughlin, who once lived in the Godforsaken city of Riverside, where they get frozen out nearly every winter, and therefore had plenty of land to give away, and have their streets from 100 to 150 feet wide. On each side of these streets they have what they call gardenets, growing up with weeds, and great pepper trees, the roots of feet wide, it might do, but not under the present conditions. I, as a taxpayer will fight this foolish idea to the last ditch. Now as to Philadelphia street, where more teams are going through than on any other street in Anaheim, namely all the oil trucks passing nearly every hour of the day during the whole day and Sundays, and all the orange trucks and wagons the year around. Half the time you cannot see across the street. These streets are sprinkled about twice a week. Now before I stop, when this ridiculous idea, referred to to destroy Broadway was brought before the council Trustee Hamler favored its adoption, but other members of the board took a more reasonable view. They decided, before paving, to find out whether the people who live on Broadway and pay taxes, are in favor of such a dastardly work being done. You all know how I stand on this matter, and I hope every person who lives on Broadway will follow my example and trample the idea under foot. Now regarding the letting of contracts and advertising for bids. We all know it takes a set of time and money to advertise in the papers. My idea is to have Broadway and Philadelphia advertised as one contract and not piecemeal, then outside contractors will bid on the work, and we will have a chance to get a cheaper rate than we have had heretofore. Mr. Werden PACIFIC Water Supply Parcel Volume for 1912 Tests of measurement Dreams in the north basins. The field carried on by the federal operation with the Idaho, Idaho, and Washington stations were the year at more these records of the rivers throughout the year, are of the note in the consideration relating to the delivery supply for irrigation any other purpose. WAY BALER Number of Newhope is baler and what is the business and is the work was in man she spent two on the baler. She used them just as well in the job. Baler over which Mrs. it oversight has no foreman as well as. Her husband is her baler at work makes contracts to do Just at present she may hay. Later she saw and alfalfa. When at work in the Mrs. Jacobor is boss. The men what they also tells them what least, she buys all does all the cooking six men but also for meet Mrs. Jacober is automobile. and drones had two petitions out to block our plans, but when the drones discovered they were beaten they got up a petition by a man named McLaughlin, who once lived in the Godforsaken city of Riverside, where they get frozen out nearly every winter, and therefore had plenty of land to give away, and have their streets from 100 to 150 feet wide. On each side of these streets they have what they call gardenets, growing up with weeds, and great pepper trees, the roots of which are bursting up the sidewalks, the same as our sidewalks are being destroyed in Anaheim. Mr. McLaughlin's bright idea was to pattern from Riverside, where they have land to give away or sell for almost nothing. The time which I refer to above was when those non-paying petitions were put into the waste basket. Another petition was circulated asking that the curb be extended on each side of the street, which would give more room to raise weeds. Those people to whom I refer cannot keep the three feet of parking which they now have clear of weeds. What would they do with six feet more? That idea was also thrown out, and after waiting two years I am informed there is going to be some paving done at last. At the last meeting of the city trustees a young amateur engineer who lives in our midst, presented an idea which is most foolish and ridiculous. Now Broadway is sixty feet wide, and his plan, laid out on paper, no doubt looks fine to some people, but they are few and far between. His plan was to have, in the center of Broadway a space of sixteen feet for a park in which to grow weeds and trees, and alleys running across here and there. This would leave scarcely twenty feet on each side. Now I ask any person, whether he lives on Broadway or hot, if this foolish idea is carried out, will not the grandest street in Anaheim be destroyed? If Broadway was 100 blocks away from me, but when the drones discovered they were beaten they got up a petition by a man named McLaughlin, who once lived in the Godforsaken city of Riverside, where they get frozen out nearly every winter, and therefore had plenty of land to give away, and have their streets from 100 to 150 feet wide.

Snowden of the National Association of Manufacturers has collected data showing that 22,000,000 persons depend directly for their livelihood on the manufacturing industries of the United States. This includes 9,000,000 employees of the various establishments and the members of their families. The total investment in the industrial plants of this country is $24,000,000,000 and their normal yearly output aggregates $28,000,000,000, exceeding largely the amount of Great Britain and Germany combined. Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Mills were in Los Angeles Saturday attending the funeral of a friend.
