ORGANIZING NEW FRATERNAL ORDER DISTRICT OF MODERN ORDER OF PRAETORIANS WILL HAVE HEADQUARTERS AT FULLERTON BRANCHES TO BE ESTABLISHED AT SIX TOWNS OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Efforts are being made in Anaheim to organize a new fraternal insurance order and the promoters are meeting with good success. The Modern Order of Praetorians is the name, and while it is new in this section the order has been in existence eighteen years, with headquarters at Dallas, Texas, where a magnificent 16-story office building has recently been erected for the accommodation of the national officials. J. H. Fredericks of Long Beach, C. A. Roe of Fullerton and B. E. Meeks of Havana, Cuba, have been in town for some days in the interest of the order. They are organizing what is termed the Fullerton district, with headquarters at Fullerton and branches at Anaheim, Buena Park, Broa, Olinda, Placentia and La Habra. Twenty-five members are required at each branch and fifty at Fullerton, and when the required number is secured the district will be formed with appropriate ceremonies, and a banquet will be given to all the members at a get-acquainted meeting. The Praetorians embody all the best the county board against money then due Trounce & Stoecker. These claims were assigned to a bank and a pro rata was paid upon them. The surety company let a contract to the Charles W. Corbaley company of Los Angeles to complete the bridge for $11,787. The bridge was completed in August and has been accepted. The Corbaley firm on Saturday filed a claim for $7753.85, which amount it asserts is still due it from the surety company. With other claims against the bridge, the total will probably reach $11,000. The county has withheld warrants amounting to $5922.60, and that amount is now in the hands of the county with which to meet the claims. The county is entirely in the clear on the matter, and stands to lose not one cent. Whatever loss there is will fall upon the surety company, or if not paid, the loss will fall on the claimants. Suits in court have already been instituted by some of the claimants who are protecting their rights. WEDDING BELLS AGAIN RING OUT Miss Ardis Johnson and George A. Chambers United in Marriage Miss Ardis Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Johnson, and George E. Chambers were married at the home of the bride's parents at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 6. Twenty-five guests were present to witness the ceremony. The house was artistically decorated, and a huge wedding bell composed of flowers, was suspended from the ceiling. Under this the ceremony was performed by Rev. F. W. Mitchell. The bridesmaid was Miss Anita Willets of Orange, and the groom's best man was Earl Johnson, brother of the bride.

MILLIONS OF DO WILL Should the Expectation Europe T They are organizing what is termed the Fullerton district, with headquarters at Fullerton and branches at Anaheim, Buena Park, Brea, Olinda, Blacentia and La Habra. Twenty-five members are required at each branch and fifty at Fullerton, and when the required number is secured the district will be formed with appropriate ceremonies, and a banquet will be given to all the members at a get-acquainted meeting. The Praetorians embody all the best features of other fraternal orders and add a few new ones. One of these is the old age benefit. By paying one dollar per month the member is accumulating a fund, every dollar of which is returned to him on his 70th birthday. A life policy in this company not only protects the member's family in case of death, but benefits the policy holder in case of accident. One-fourth of the policy is paid for the loss of a hand or a foot by accident, and full amount for the loss of both hands or both feet, for the loss of one hand and one foot, or for the loss of both eyes. Eight different kinds of protection are afforded policy holders, which include weekly, benefits not to exceed $15 per week for the disabled. Membership is limited between the ages of 18 and 55, and life policies are limited to $30. Payments on policies are, of course, graduated in accordance with the age of the member on joining the order. All the protection a person needs is provided by this order. Another feature is that certificates can be paid up in ten, fifteen or twenty years, and no further payments on the policy is required. MEN'S CLUB FORMED BY CITIZENS OF THIS CITY Upwards of One Hundred Members Have Signed the Club's Roster At the meeting of the Men's club held in the Fisher block on Wednesday evening last, temporary officers were elected as follows: Herman Stern, president; Rev. David Todd Glimor, secretary; F. A. Backs, Jr., treasurer. The selection of permanent quarters for the organization was left to a committee consisting of Messrs. F. C. Krause, H. E. W. Barmes, and A. C. Pearson. John Ziegler has offered rooms in the fourth floor of his new Valencia hotel now in course of construction. As yet no definite date has been arrived at for the home of the bride's parents at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 6. Twenty-five guests were present to witness the ceremony. The house was artistically decorated, and a huge wedding bell composed of flowers, was suspended from the ceiling. Under this the ceremony was performed by Rev. F. W. Mitchell. The bridesmaid was Miss Anita Willets of Orange, and the groom's best man was Earl Johnson, brother of the bride. The wedding march from Wagner's Lohengrin was played by Miss Florence Swain of Whittier, and while the ceremony was in progress she rendered "O Promise Me," on the piano. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers are among Anaheim's best and most popular young people, and a host of friends extend congratulations and good wishes. They left after the wedding feast on a honeymoon tour, but refused to make public their destination. IN THE JUSTICE'S COURT In Justice Howard's court on Friday morning the case against Mrs. Helmick, charged by Mrs. Joe Figueroa with delinquency in caring for her six year old son, was dismissed for insufficient evidence. The case was outgrowth of family troubles. Several weeks ago Mrs. Figueroa swore to a felony charge against her husband, involving Mrs. Helmick. The case never came to trial, owing to the fact that the district attorney's office was too busily engaged with other matters to try the case. Several witnesses testified, including Mrs. Helmick and Joe Figueroa, but the evidence failed to establish the fact that the young son was improperly cared for. Judge Howard, upon dismissal of the case, took occasion to give Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa some fatherly advice and to go home and forget their marital differences and provide for their children, of which they have four Mrs. Figueroa bears a good reputation among all who know her, and when she and her husband left the courtroom it looked as though she would forgive and forget. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel prosecuted the case and Attorney Roger Dutton appeared for the defendants. SEAL BEACH INCORPORATION The action brought by I. W. Hell- day evening last, temporary officers were elected as follows: Herman Stern, president; Rev. David Todd Gilmor, secretary; F. A. Backs, Jr., treasurer. The selection of permanent quarters for the organization was left to a committee consisting of Messrs. F. C. Krause, H. E. W. Barmes, and A. C. Pearson. John Ziegler has offered rooms in the fourth floor of his new Valencia hotel now in course of construction. As yet no definite agreement has been arrived at as to the location of the club rooms. A committee consisting of Messrs. H. G. Ames, Rev. Gilmor, H. V. Weisel, H. M. Adams and A. B. McCord were appointed to draft by-laws for the new organization. The committee met again last night to definitely arrange for the future management of the club. The list calling for the organization of the club contained 120 names, but it is expected that some of these will drop out. The object of the club is purely of a social nature. Pool and billiard tables will be provided and other lines of amusement will be installed. SURETY COMPANY MAY LOSE $5000 Claims Against Olive Bridge Contractors Will Probably Be Settled By Bondmen The Chicago Bonding & Surety company, it is believed stands to lose over $5000 if all claims against the builders of the Olive bridge are allowed. The county let the original contract to Trounce & Stoecker of San Diego for $20,882. After getting well started, the contractors became short of funds with which to operate, and threw up the contract. That threw the contract back upon the surety company. At that time claims amounting to about $4000 were presented to Public Administrator Winbigler has asked for letters of administration on the estate of William Brace, who died at Anaheim a year ago. The estate is valued at $6000. Tipton & Callor are attorneys for the petitioner. This estate is being administered in connection with the estate of Mrs. Brace, who was killed recently when she stepped from a moving automobile near this city. Mrs. Vandam of Los Alamitos was in town on Monday arranging for an auction sale of her farming utensils and stock. The sale takes place on Monday, October 25, near the Hixby's home trees, on the road to Seal Beach. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel prosecuted the case and Attorney Roger Dutton appeared for the defendants. SEAL BEACH INCORPORATION The action brought by I. W. Hellman against the board of supervisors, attacking the validity of the proceedings looking to the calling of an election on Seal Beach's incorporation, may not be decided in the superior court until after the incorporation election, October 19. Hellman does not want any of his land included in the city boundaries, and has been fighting incorporation. A demurrer was filed by the board of supervisors, the Seal Beach interests being represented by Attorneys H. C. Head and J. C. Burke. The demurrer was set for argument Monday. Hellman's attorneys were unable to be present, and by telephone asked for a postponement until October 14. The slv weeks' par county hunters begin October 15.

Even in his younger days, when he was learning to play baseball in this neck of the woods, Gavvy made a reputation as a hitter. He is the only man who ever made a six-base hit on the local diamond—or on any other, perhaps, for that matter. It happened in a game between Anaheim and Santa Ana. Cravath being one of the visitors. The Anaheim ball ground at that time was on the Deutschtract, at the corner of Chartres and Lemon streets. The home plate was planted about where the northwest corner of the Nebelung apartment house now stands. Cravath made a tremendous hit, the ball sailing over into the Langenberger orange orchard. It was good for a home run without over-exertion, but Gavvy carelessly neglected to touch second base. One nearing the home plate he observed that the umpire was preparing to throw him out, consequently he didn't stop at home. Taking the bit in his teeth he started to gallop around the bases again, and reached the keystone sack before the ball was fielded in. There was no rule in the book to cover such a case, consequently the wildered ump called him safe. Gavvy was credited with a two-base hit after running one and a half times around the diamond.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WILL GO UP IN SMOKE Should the Expected Naval Battle in Europe Take Place When the long expected naval battle of the European conflict takes place, there will be more money blown up in a short space of time than ever before in the history of the world. There has been heavy fighting between hostile warships and between warships and coast defenses, including the demonstrations of the English and allied ships against the Dardanelles, but the big fight is still ahead. It costs England close to $2000 every time she fires one of the big guns of the superdreadnaughts of her navy. The figure is much above a normal cost because of the increased price England is paying for shells and powder in this country. Private manufacturers of munitions of war in this country are understood to be charging the British war office about $500 for the 16-inch lydite shell which is used in her big naval guns. That is far above the price at which shells can be made by government works. The high price is due, of course, to the urgency of demand and the necessity of increased expenditure by private manufacturers in the United States, in order to get their plants in shape to handle war orders. The 14-inch shell of the American navy, a shell similar to the British 15-inch lydite shell, costs this government about $250 to make at its own plants. That gives an idea of the increased price named by private makers here to the British. The United States government figures the cost of powder bought from private manufacturers at about 53 cents a pound, and the United States can make powder at its own mills at a much lower price. Certain private powder companies claim they can make smokeless powder at less than 30 cents a pound. The price of smokeless to foreign countries now buying here is $1 a pound, and in some instances as high as $1.20 a pound has been named. The powder charge needed for the 15-inch shell of the British navy is costing about $400, making a total cost of $500 for shell and powder alone. The life of the gun is the big item to be considered in the average cost of each shot. Naval experts differ in their ideas as to how long a gun can be used. Its usefulness is placed at 175 shots by some. Others place it as low as 60. Seventy-five appears to be the consensus of opinion as to semi-annually; the principal and interest of said indebtedness to be paid in gold coin of the United States of America. SECTION 2. The special election hereby called and ordered to be held, shall be held and conducted and the votes threat received and canvassed, and the returns thereof made and the results thereof are certain, determined and declared to the laws of the State of California providing for and governing elections in the City of Anaheim, and the polls for such election shall be and remain open during the time required by said laws. The ballots to be used at such special election shall be such as may be required by law to be used thereat and in addition to any other matter required by law to be printed thereon, shall appear following: "MUNICIPAL TICKET" To vote for a proposition and thereby authorize the incurring of the bond indebtedness for the amount of and for the purposes stated in such proposition, stamp a cross (X) in the voting square to the right of the word "YES."

Also said ballots have printed thereon the following: Proposition to incur a bonded debt by the City of Anaheim to the amount of $30,000.00 for the purpose of the construction of a building for municipal uses, to-wit, a City Lail in and for said city, such debt not to exceed six per centum per annum; to be paid semi-annually; principal and interest payable in gold coin of the United States of America. Sample ballots containing the above matter required to be printed thereon shall be supplied to the electors of said city by the City Clerk, but a failure on the part of any elector to receive such sample ballot shall not be held to invalidate the election or affect in any manner the legality of any bonds that may be authorized thereat. Section 3. Any qualified elector of the City of Anaheim may vote at said special election for or against the proposition herein submitted. To vote in favor of authorize the incurring of a bonded debt for such elector set forth in the proposition herein written, shall stamp a cross (X) in the voting square to the right of the word "NO" printed opposite said proposition. Each cross (X) stamped in the square to right of the word "YES" shall be counted as favor of and to authorize the incurring of a bonded debt for such elector set forth in the proposition opposite to which such cross (X) is stamped, and each cross (X) stamped in the voting square to the right of the word "NO" shall be counted as a vote not in favor of and a refusal to authorize the incurring of a bonded indebtedness for the purpose set forth in the proposition opposite to which such cross (X) is stamped. SECTION 4.
