THINKS OF HOME IN FARAWAY CONFLICT HENRY ROTHENBERG WRITES FRIENDS HERE FROM BATTLE FRONT OF LUBLIN WITH VON BESELER'S ARTIL-LERY, MAKES MODEST MENTION OF DECORATIONS FOR BRAVERY Fred Bentjen has just received another letter from Henry Rothenberg, which was written on the field of battle near Lublin, Poland, on the 10th of August. Rothenberg left Anaheim for Europe shortly before the outbreak of the war and arrived just in time to join the German army and go to the front. He belongs to the heavy artillery branch of the service, and has command of one of the great guns that helped batter down the forts of Leige, Namour and Antwerp. He was under Van Beseler at Ypres after Von Emmich had been transferred, and writes that he was sent to the eastern prisoners and dead behind. Daily we would see prisoners marching by. They would often exclaim, "You are better equipped, you Germans come storming forward as though you were pursued by the d—." In July alone we captured 200,000 Russians. We have marched forward over 200 kilometers and are past Lublin. The forts of Warsaw, Ivangerod and many others are in our possession. Soon we have reached our goal, and then we will return to the Western front. Russia's power is broken and it will be easy for us now to keep them under control. May the dear Lord bless us as He did before. It has surprised me immensely to know that you had heard of my distinction for bravery. I received the distinctions on my birthday, May 9th and on June 22nd. I received the Frederick Augustus cross from the Grand Duke of Oldenberg. It is black and is carried with a blue ribbon. I suppose you want to know for what reason I received this distinction. Well, excepting for a few deeds on the 17th of March and on the 24th of April Ypres I have not done more than my duty. To tell you of the first distinction would take too long. It pertained to a telescope which would enable us to see better the effect of the shrapnel in the enemy's trenches. The dear Lord grant that I may be able to carry them for many years. LOCAL JEWELLED EXPLAIN SUMMONED BEFORE OFFICIALS CHARGING GILDING, NICK MAKE JEWELLED EXPLAIN B. Hartfield, the Gorman, until recently the Anaheim sugar W. H. Lessner compiling jewelers of Los Angeles came involved with thorities, a charge of States coins, which considered counterfeit ferred against them with which they were gilding buffalo nickels the purpose of making Some weeks ago Gorman then connected with left an order with Rothenberg speaks in modest terms of the two crosses which he has received but his friends know that they are conferred only as a reward of merit. One of them is the Kaiser’s iron cross which he received at Ypres. The other is the decoration of Frederick Augustus of Saxony, which was given him by the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. One was presented for conspicuous bravery, the other for having perfected a field glass which enabled the officers to see the effect of their shells in the enemy’s trenches. Rothenberg’s many friends here will rejoice that he has so far escaped death or injury. He declares his intention of returning to Anaheim when the war ceases if he is spared. Following is his letter in full: Poland, Aug. 10, 1915. My Dear Friends: At present I am sitting on a provision wagon in the field and will try to write you a few lines. Yesterday’s mail brought me your dear letter dated the 4th of July, your national holiday. A few days previous I had received a letter from Mr. W. Let me tell you right here that your letters are always gladly received and I read them with keen interest. Indeed, I received a letter from Mr. G. It came to me just the day before I left Belgium. He asked me to tell him why we did not take notice of Belgium’s neutrality. I could write to you for hours on this subject, but time will not permit, so I must be brief. Belgium had mobilized on the 30th of July, long before we had asked for permission to move our troops across a portion of their country, promising that we would pay all damage done. Our country had asked for permission on the 3rd of August. I notice that Anaheim and vicinity is progressing. Oh, what a difference between there and here in unlucky Poland. I feel sorry for the poor people who are really not to blame. Oh what heartrending scenes, to see a family standing and crying by the ash piles of a burnt-down dwelling. Hungry children will often come to you and ask you on their knees for a piece of bread and then they will kiss your hand after you have given them something to eat. Oh, my dear friends, my heart often bleeds for these poor creatures. But what can we do? Those great men who were responsible for this war see nothing of this. The common people in Russia have very little as it is and now since the war is raging in their midst they are actually to be pitied. According to my estimation about 25 per cent of them are without shelter and have practically nothing. Where the battle front has been raging everything has been destroyed, even the grain in the fields has been spoiled. Our Fatherland has indeed been lucky to escape such calamity. I hope to God that it will be spared forever. The world indeed has not seen such a war before. The war of '70-71 was nothing in comparison. I well remember how Mr. W. used to talk of that war. * * * I would like to talk to him again. I would like to see a good many of my dear old friends in Anaheim again. I hope to God to see Southern California again. But before I return there I must do my duty as a soldier and I hope to see it all end in our favor. I am glad to hear that you are all well. I often think of you and would gladly spend a few hours or days in your midst again. The great God who has been my protector thus far, may shield you, and may He bless you and me abundantly. Your ever thankful friend, HENRY ROTHENBURG. Gravy Cravath, the Orange county suppose you want to know for what reason I received this distinction. Well, excepting for a few deeds on the 17th of March and on the 24th of April Ypres I have not done more than my duty. To tell you of the first distinction would take too long. It pertained to a telescope which would enable us to see better the effect of the shrapnel in the enemy’s trenches. The dear Lord grant that I may be able to carry them for many years. W. H. Lessner compiling jewelers of Los Angeles involved with States coins, which he considered counterfeiters ferred against them with which they were gilding buffalo nickels; the purpose of making some weeks ago Goran connected with left an order with Hartfield manufacture of a brace charm to be made of gold and to be hung gold links. Gorman colins and Hartfield sell Lessner company to be ed up in accordance. The company made chain and returned the two weeks ago.

Hartfield and a trip to this city in their good faith, for getting Gorman to go building and explain his matter, but they r Moody with a written effect that Gorman finally left the employer. G. It came to me just the day before I left Belgium. He asked me to tell him why we did not take notice of Belgium's neutrality. I could write to you for hours on this subject, but time will not permit, so I must be brief. Belgium had mobilized on the 30th of July, long before we had asked for permission to move our troops across a portion of their country, promising that we would pay all damage done. Our country had asked for permission on the 3rd of August, 1914, and already on the 4th, she closely allied herself with France and England and on the same day she with England declared war against us, and later documents which were found in Brussels revealed the fact that she had formed a secret alliance long before with England and France and against Germany. This my friend, will show you and others why we were so active. It is too bad that Mr. G. and a good many others do not understand why we took this step towards Belgium. Our dear God would surely not have blessed our labor so abundantly if we would not be fighting for a just cause. But this will suffice for the present. You inform me in your letter that you have not received a letter from me for a long time. The fact, nevertheless, remains that during the time I sent you two letters and several postal cards. But probably, as you say, John Bull has destroyed them. He does not like to see the truth come to America. I suppose you were surprised to find me in the Eastern battle front. Well, in the beginning of June we were supposed to drive the enemy out of Galicia together with the troops of the dual monarchy. Daily we pressed forward on the battle front which was 200 kilometers long. Very often the Russians were compelled to retreat 20 kilometers daily and leaving many as a soldier and I hope to see it all end in our favor. I am glad to hear that you are all well. I often think of you and would gladly spend a few hours or days in your midst again. The great God who has been my protector thus far, may shield you, and may He bless you and me abundantly. Your ever thankful friend, HENRY ROTHENBURG. Gravy Cravath, the Orange county boy who is now playing ball with the Philadelphia team, it is believed will beat the world's record for home runs before the season closes. So far this season Cravath has made 22 home runs. This beats Shulte's modern record of 21 in 1911 and tops the American league record of 16 by Seybout with the Athletics in 1902. Cravath has nearly a month to go and should tie or beat Freeman's mark. Gravvy has made 28 doubles, five triplets and 22 homers this season. The trial of William Howard, living on the San Joaquin ranch, charged with driving an auto while intoxicated, was held Monday morning before Justice Cox. Howard was driving his machine home from Anaheim several weeks ago. In turning around another auto near the city limits the steering gear became unmanageable, and the auto struck a buggy, badly damaging it and injuring the Mexican occupant. Howard paid for all damages to the rig and the doctor's bill. A complaint against Howard was sworn to by Officer Sid Smithwick of Santa Ana. Howard was exonerated Monday and was dismissed from custody. Arthur Mason of Oxnard was visiting last week with Mr. and Mrs. John Hahn on Melrose street, Mrs. Hahn being his mother. Mr. Mason is a locomotive engineer. During the day and made to get Gorman, with Hartfield the order charm and bracelet made nickels. Hartfield and a trip to this city in their good faith, for getting Gorman to go building and explain his matter, but they re Moody with a written effect that Gorman tarily left the employ on September 7. Mr. Moody says they be allowed to rest until he be found. The impressive complaint will be issued in view of the explanation en states that after her U.S. officers wanted the charm, Gorman had off $11 for them. These attorneys Gorman is wanted to it is possible also he may if the proper explanation coming at once. According to Mr. Hahn the whole transaction was one, and he had no intending the government liaison. "Gorman came into me seven buffalo nickels," asked me to make a brochure wife and a watch charm from them. He explained wanted. I took the orders coins to the Lessner coming them how I wanted made. In due time I finished job and I dispensed titles to several people. Into the bank to show what articles could be made from they daily handled. They formed that gilding that a violation of the Federal articles in my pocket Gorman called for them let him have them. Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 23, 1915 LOCAL JEWELER GALLED ON TO EXPLAIN SUMMONED BEFORE FEDERAL OFFICIALS CHARGED WITH GILDING, NICKELS TO MAKE JEWELRY HARTFIELD SATISFIES U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY THAT HE HAD NO INTENTION OF VIOLATING LAW B. Hartfield, the jeweler, John B. Gorman, until recently an employee of the Anaheim sugar factory, and the W. H. Lessner company, manufacturing jewelers of Los Angeles, have become involved with the Federal authorities, a charge of altering United States coins, which under the law is considered counterfeiting, being preferred against them. The offense with which they were charged was gilding buffalo nickels with gold, for the purpose of making jewelry. Some weeks ago Gorman, who was then connected with the sugar factory, left an order with Hartfield for the "My wife was staying at Long Beach at the time and I went down to visit her. While there I changed clothing leaving the old suit there and forgetting to transfer the jewelry and some other things from the old to the new suit. Special Agent Thomas of the treasury department called upon me after I returned and demanded the bracelet and charm. I agreed to deliver them at the office in Los Angeles. I went down to Long Beach after them and on Wednesday sent them to the office of Special Agent Hazen with by brother Max. He was told that the officer wanted me to come up and explain, consequently on Thursday morning I and Mr. Lessner appeared before Deputy District Attorney Moody and told him all the facts. Mr. Moody explained to us that it was a violation of the law to gild the coins, and that many of them were being plated and passed on unsuspecting people as gold coins, consequently it was necessary to put a stop to it. After hearing our statements, however, he was convinced that our violation of the law was unintentional and no action was taken. He would like to find Gorman, however, and get his statement. When I refused to give the jewelry up to Gorman he began to bid above my price and finally offered me $11 for it, but I told him he could not have it for $1000, as there was a question as to my right to dispose of coins in PRIZES AWARDED AT COUNTY FAIR COMMITTEE LIBERAL IN DISTRIBUTION OF PREMIUMS FOR BEST EXHIBITS ANAHEIM BOARD OF TRADE IS LOOKING AFTER DISPLAY FROM THIS SECTION Persons in this region who desire to make and exhibition of products of the soil at the Orange county fair to be held at Santa Ana Oct. 12 to 16, should communicate with J. W. Duckworth, secretary of the board of trade. That body will look after their exhibits and see that they are properly classified. This does not apply to live stock but to fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. This section of the county can hold its own against all comers in the size and quality of its products and there is no reason why Anaheim should not capture a goodly number of the prizes. Exhibits should W. H. Lessner company, manufacturing jewelers of Los Angeles, have become involved with the Federal authorities, a charge of altering United States coins, which under the law is considered counterfeiting, being preferred against them. The offense with which they were charged was gilding buffalo nickels with gold, for the purpose of making jewelry. Some weeks ago Gorman, who was then connected with the sugar factory, left an order with Hartfield for the manufacture of a bracelet and a watch charm to be made of buffalo nickels, gilded and to be hung together with gold links. Gorman furnished the coins and Hartfield sent them to the Lessner company to have them worked up in accordance with the order. The company made the bracelet and chain and returned them to Hartfield two weeks ago. The Los Angeles Jewelers charged $5.50 for the gold plating to which Hartfield added $1.50 for his commission, making the total bill $7. Hartfield showed the work to several parties, and on being informed that it was a violation of the Federal law to alter coins in that manner refused to deliver the goods to Gorman. In the meantime, George W. Hazen, special agent of the treasury department, had been informed of the gilding of United States coins and began an investigation. He notified Hartfield not to deliver the work to the customer but to send it to him. This Hartfield failed to do promptly, consequently Hazen declared his intention of filing a complaint unless the altered coins were forthcoming at once. Hartfield went up to Los Angeles Thursday and in company with Mr. Lessner appeared before Assistant United States District Attorney Moody, who conducted an investigation. Both men declared that if they had broken the law, they did so unintentionally, and the district attorney accepted their view of the situation. During the day an attempt was made to get Gorman, who had placed with Hartfield the order for the watch charm and bracelet made of the gilded nickels. Hartfield and Lessner made a trip to this city in order to show their good faith, for the purpose of getting Gorman to go to the Federal building and explain his connection in the matter, but they returned to Mr. Moody with a written statement to the effect that Gorman had voluntarily left the company. News of the death of Bishop Thomas J. Conaty came as a shock to numerous friends in this city where he was well known and beloved by a large circle, having officiated on various occasions at functions in St. Boniface church. The Bishop was found dead in his bed at Coronado Saturday morning where he had gone two weeks previously for his health, and where a cottage had been prepared for him. He had been suffering for some time from an ulceration of the stomach, and had gone to Coronado attended by his sister and two nieces, in the hope of finding relief. He was found dead by his sister, Miss Catharine Conaty, and it was declared by his physicians that he passed peacefully away in his sleep about 7:30 o'clock. The funeral will be held at St. Vibiana's cathedral, Los Angeles, tomorrow. Bishop Conaty was one of the best quantitatively it was necessary to put a stop to it. After hearing our statements, however, he was convinced that our violation of the law was unintentional and no action was taken. He would like to find Gorman, however, and get his statement.

There is not likely to be any further action taken in the matter as both Hartfield and Lessner have been exonerated of the charge or suspicion of altering the coins for fradulent purposes, but Mr. Moody wants Gorman to come forward and explain why he was so anxious to get the jewelry that he offered an advanced price for it. When Hartfield refused to let him have the bracelet and fob Gorman proposed that the jeweler lay them on the showcase and turn away his eyes. They would disappear and he would find $11 in their stead. This, according to Gorman, would relieve him of the responsibility of selling them.

The funeral will be held at St. Vibiana's cathedral, Los Angeles, tomorrow. Bishop Conaty was one of the best known churchmen on the Pacific coast. He was an eloquent speaker, a man whose life was devoted to good works, and he was held in high esteem by all with whom he came in contact. He was born in Ireland 68 years ago, but came to America while a youth, and studied for the priesthood. He was consecrated Bishop of Los Angeles and Monterey in 1897, and one of his first official acts was to dedicate St. Boniface church in this city. His last appearance here was on Thursday, June 24, when he confirmed a class of 117 applicants for membership in the church. Rev. Father Dubbel, pastor of St. Boniface, accompanied by his father, Joseph Dubbel, was in Los Angeles Saturday when the news of the Bishop's death was received. He was a warm friend and devoted admirer of the Bishop Conaty and feels keenly the loss of so great and good a friend. While in the north, where he went to attend the meeting of the National Bankers' association at Seattle, F.C. Krause selzed the opportunity to visit his old home at Newport, Washington, and to greet old friends at Spokane.

The concrete road which is so popular in this region, it was declared, would be unsatisfactory in sections subject to extreme cold, as the water which accumulated under the road bed would freeze and burst the surface. Some of the speakers announced that in their section of the country brick is the most popular material for highways, but it is costly. It was the opinion of most of the speakers that gravel roads are the most practical because of the small cost in comparison with concrete and brick. Considerable time was devoted to the best methods of raising funds for road building, some of them advocating bond issues as the most feasible means. The congress was called merely for the purpose of getting expert road builders from all parts of the United States together and exchanging ideas on the different methods of road construction. Only one recommendation was made and that was that highway building should be classified under three heads—national, state and local. The congress went on record as favoring the construction by the government of military roads so constructed that they could be easily reached by state roads from all the states. The state roads should then be connected by county roads. Mr. and Mrs. McFadden also spent three days at the exposition, before returning home. Mr. McFadden says the government has a wonderful display of the various systems of road building at the exposition which was enlightening and entertaining to a person who takes an interest in the subject. It must be said in justice to Supervisor Schumacher that he has made good when it comes to road building, and in that important item he has accomplished more for his district than any man who ever held down the job. The West side road soon to be paved joins the Garden Grove road leading south from Lincoln avenue, and is one of the most important highways entering to this city from the west side. Business men of this city as well as people using the thoroughfare appreciate this work and give Supervisor Schumacher credit for his indefatiguable efforts to give our people the best highway system they ever enjoyed. Mr. Schumacher left yesterday for San Francisco where he will visit the exposition. He will be absent a fortnight, and on his return will take up immediately the matter of paving and otherwise improving the roads of his district.
