TWO THOUSAND VOTERS NOT YET REGISTERED Third Supervisor District has 8000 Voters, Not More Than 6000 Have Registered Registration for the presidential primary May 2, closes a week from next Saturday. It is estimated that there are in the third supervisor district more than 8000 voters, while probably not more than 6000 have registered up to the present moment. REGIS THIS WILL CREASED CLOSE FIVE CANDIDATES TWO FOR ONE FO In a crippled condition, with two of her best men out of the running, Anaheim Union high school entered the county track meet at Fullerton Saturday and won, her nearest competitor being five and three-fifths points behind. Webb and Gregg, who were relied upon to add many points to the Anaheim column on the score board, were both merely spectators. Gregg was on the bench with a game foot, having stepped on a nail a few days previously, and Webb was disqualified because of some school regulation. With these two men in the contest Anaheim was certain to have increased her lead. Webb was doped to easily win the hundred yard dash. These five points were captured by Davis of Fullerton, his time being 10 3-5. Judging from his previous records Dutch was expected to make it in 10.1, which is the Pacific coast record. Webb also would have won the shot put. At Orange a couple of weeks ago he broke the county record by hurling the leaden ball 46 feet, whereas Goodale won at Fullerton with a throw one inch under 43 feet. Gregg, also, was confidently relied upon for a number of points. But it is useless to speculate on what might have been. The boys won a clean victory despite their crippled condition. With the full team in the field they probably would have duplicated the record of a year ago when they made 56 points while the four other schools combined rolled up 74—18 of which were made by one man—Plavan of Santa Ana. Fullerton's showing in the meet was one of the surprises of the day. A year ago that school stood on the next to the bottom step of the cellar stairway, making but eleven points. Saturday it had the audacity to compete with the champions for first place, and came within five and two-fifths points of tying Anaheim. Huntington Beach also made a better showing jumping from one lone point a year ago to nine and a fraction. Santa Ana made 41 points last year, but dropped to 24 2-3, while Orange lacked 2 1-3 of reaching their old record. Anaheim won four firsts, Schneider being first in the broad jump, Goodale in the high jump, Dalton in the javelin throw and Goodale in the shot put. In the 220 low hurdles Martenet tied with Davis of Fullerton for first. Third Supervisor District has 8000 Voters, Not More Than 6000 Have Registered Registration for the presidential primary May 2, closes a week from next Saturday. It is estimated that there are in the third supervisor district more than 8000 voters, while probably not more than 6000 have registered up to the present moment. There are therefore some 2000 voters who have not yet registered and unless they attend to this political duty, they will not be permitted to exercise the elective franchise at this important election. Republicans should see to it that they are registered, for a delegation of staunch republicans to the national convention at Chicago in June is to be selected at the May primary and the progressives have named a ticket and will go to the primaries in an endeavor to deefat the regular republican nominees. All republicans should register and they should see to it that a true blue delegation is selected. Democrats, socialists and all other party men and women should register, for no one who is not registered this year may vote at the primary in May. All registration for the municipal elections in Anaheim and Fullerton has already ceased, but voters throughout the district may register for the presidential primary election. There are probably 2000 voters in the district who have not yet registered, and they should see to it that their names are placed upon the great register so that they may be permitted to vote at the May primary which is the most important election of its kind ever held in California. Register republicans! and see to it that a straight delegation of true blue republicans is chosen for the national republican convention. H.P.NOLL CELEBRATES ARRIVAL IN ANAHEIM Gives Party on the Sixth Anniversary Of His Landing Here H. P.

Santa Ana made 41 points last year, but dropped to 24 2-3, while Orange lacked 2 1-3 of reaching their old record. Anaheim won four firsts, Schneider being first in the broad jump, Goodale in the high jump, Dalton in the javelin throw and Goodale in the shot put. In the 220 low hurdles Martenet tied with Davis of Fullerton for first. Megede appeared in the 50, 100 and 220 dashes and won second place in each. Only one county record was broken. A. B. Smith hurled the discus 116 ft., 6 1-2 inches, the previous record of 107 ft. 7 inches, being made by Emery of Santa Ana two years ago. Summaries 50-yard dash: Won by Trago (S. A.) Megede (A.) second, Osborne (F.) third; time 5 4-5s. 100-yard dash: Won by Davis (F.) Megede (A.) second, McVey (S. A.) Rozello (O.) tied for third; time 10 3-5s. 220-yard dash: Won by Osborne (F.)

Jumper (H. B.) second, Hale (F.) third; height 10ft. Broad jump: Won by Schneider (A.) H. P. Noll, who has been a resident of Anaheim for six years, is so pleased because he obeyed the impulse when the spirit moved him to leave the bleak and storm-ridden state of Wisconsin and locate in sunny Southern California, that he has marked the date of his arrival in Anaheim as a red-letter day on his calendar, and calls his friends around him on that annual occasion to help him celebrate. Friday evening was the sixth anniversary of his arrival here, and he invited a number of friends to assemble at his house and help dispose of a roast pig and numerous side dishes. There were no ladies in the party. The guests were H. A. Dickel, F. C. Krause, Pete Nicolas, Wm. Schumacker, John Cook, C. L. Swope, John Volz, Charles Osborne and Louis Bushard. These congenial spirits soon disposed of the roast pig, then congratulated Herman because of the inspiration that had sent him to Anaheim. They also congratulated Anaheim on its acquisition of another enterprising citizen on that date six years ago. Art Cannon was present and furnished stirring music during the evening. H. A. Dickel, who is a noted singer, also regaled the company with an appropriate song or two. It was an enjoyable affair. Mrs. B. T. Beale was in town from Orange Tuesday visiting her husband. Mrs. Beale was for twelve years a typeetter on the Orange Post, and while in town was shown the mysteries of the linotype machine. Mr. Beale expects to leave shortly for Arizona.

City Clerk Merritt has totaled up the figures turned in by the registration deputies and finds 1746 names on the roll, divided among precincts as follows: Precinct No. 1 ..... 151 Precinct No. 2 ..... 148 Precinct No. 3 ..... 184 Precinct No. 4 ..... 234 Precinct No. 5 ..... 63 with the nomination but they got cold feet and backed out. Fullerton is having a pretty warm campaign. There are several candidates in the field. The registration in that city is 1242. Registration books in the cities are still open for the May primary, and will continue so until Saturday night, April 1. Quite a number who failed to register for the city election will probably be on the books by that date. ANTONIO DE LA ROSA GETS FIFTEEN YEARS Mexican Who Killed Mrs. Florencia Coronado Convicted of Murder In Second Degree The jury that tried Antonio de la Rosa on a charge of murdering Mrs. Florencia Coronado at Katella some weeks ago, brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree Thursday. After the jury that heard the evidence had deliberated for a time, it returned to the courtroom and asked Judge Thomas for a further statement of the difference between manslaughter and murder in the second degree. The judge stated that the penalty for manslaughter was not over ten years and that for second degree murder is not less than ten years. A few min- PATTON ASYLUM FOR FORMER RESIDENT BEAUTIFUL MRS. MOWRY BE-COMES RAVING MANIAC, EN-DURED MANY HARDSHIPS ABANDONED BY HER HUSBAND, LOOKS TO THE END FOR HIS RETURN Mrs. Wilmot Lawrence Mowry of Pasadena, who was well and favorably known here, having been formerly a resident of this city, was some days ago sent from a Los Angeles hospital, where she had been under detention for several weeks, to the state asylum at Patton, having become a raving maniac. Mrs. Mowry is a woman of striking beauty, an artist of note, and a singer and musician of exceptional ability. She is a grand daughter of the late Dr. W. N. Hardin, a pioneer physician of this city, who with his wife were prominent Southern people, having been friends and associates. closed at midnight, Friday, March 10, and the election will be held on Monday, April 10. City Clerk Merritt has totaled up the figures turned in by the registration deputies and finds 1746 names on the roll, divided among precincts as follows: Precinct No. 1 ... 151 Precinct No. 2 ... 148 Precinct No. 3 ... 184 Precinct No. 4 ... 234 Precinct No. 5 ... 63 Precinct No. 6 ... 129 Precinct No. 7 ... 185 Precinct No. 8 ... 159 Precinct No. 9 ... 160 Precinct No. 10 ... 181 Precinct No. 11 ... 152 Total ... 1746 The polling places for the several precincts have been designated as follows: No. 1, Anaheim high school building; No. 2, Schumacher's Orange county soda works; No. 21 West Center street; No. 3, Plain Dealer office; 202 North Los Angeles street; No. 4, Central Grammar school building; No. 5, L.

The new law providing for the selection of election boards from a list of those applying for the jobs, appears to be a failure. Whether there were not enough applicants to fill the places, or whether a number of those who applied were not considered competent, we cannot say, but the boards who will conduct this election are practically the same as those who have served on former occasions, and a great many of them did not apply for the positions. The contest for the two vacancies on the board of trustees will probably be a close one. There are five candidates in the field and three are bound to be disappointed, but it is not believed the gap between any of them will be very great. Messrs. J. H. Cook and William Stark, the retiring members, are seeking re-election. They believe the record made by the present board is such that they are entitled to an endorsement by being returned for another term. They have many friends who think likewise, consequently they are lined up behind them. Little Glenn Newcombe Grenke is rather young to have a party of his own and entertain grown ups, but he did it to the satisfaction of his guests Sunday. He is the seven-weeks' old son of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf Grenke of Santa Ana, and the party was held at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Newcombe, at 148 Olive street, Anaheim. The party was given for the purpose of introducing the young gentleman to all his relatives. There were present on the occasion all four of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Gustav Grenke of Long Beach, and Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Newcombe of this city, the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolf Grenke, also Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Link of Puente, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Perkins of Redondo, Mr. and Mrs. E. Z. Sweiger of Santa Ana, Mr. and Miss Grove of Los Angeles, Mrs. and Miss Alligeyer of Brookhurst and C. L. Newcombe of Seal Beach. Grandma Newcombe acted as hostess to the guests and gave them an excellent dinner. MRS. M'CORD HOSTESS TO FOUR-FOUR CLUB St. Patrick's Day Remembered in Decorations of the House The beautiful life of Killen... resident of this city, was some days ago sent from a Los Angeles hospital, where she had been under detention for several weeks, to the state asylum at Patton, having become a raving maniac. Mrs. Mowry is a woman of striking beauty, an artist of note, and a singer and musician of exceptional ability. She is a grand daughter of the late Dr. W. N. Hardin, a pioneer physician of this city, who with his wife were prominent Southern people, having been friends and associates of the family of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Dr. Hardin was a graduate of Washington and Lee University in Virginia, and was in the early days regarded as one of the leading physicians and surgeons in Southern California. He was called in frequent consultation with Los Angeles physicians and had an extensive practice throughout this portion of the state. For some time past friends of Mrs. Mowry had noticed that her letters were incoherent, and the conviction gradually settled upon them that she was becoming menatly deranged. On a visit to this city some time ago, she carried a revolver wrapped in articles of wearing apparel, as she claimed that members of a secret organization were plotting against her life. In her hallucination she stated that she had become in some way acquainted with the secrets of this order, and that its members were trying to kill her. Recently she wrote that shots were fired at her as she sat in her back yard at her Pasadena home. Some weeks ago, when her mental derangement had become such as to cause alarm among her friends and neighbors she was removed to a Los Angeles hospital where following an examination by alienists, she was ordered sent to Patton Later she became a raving maniac, and is now under close guard at the state asylum Her black hair is said to have turned almost white. Some time ago she wrote that a white-haired woman, with features not unlike her own, whom she frequently saw, had come into her life and this is believed by her friends to have been herself. Mrs. Mowry's husband abandoned her and her infant son some fifteen years ago, and her insanity is thought to be a direct result of this unspeakable crime on his part. She has said of late that he was anxious to return to her, but that he was being kept away by a number of her friends. Her son, now a youth of sixteen years, has gone to his uncle in Arri- MRS. M'CORD HOSTESS TO FOUR-FOUR CLUB St. Patrick's Day Remembered in Decorations of the House The beautiful lake of Killarney was mirrored in the center of the table at which Mrs. A. B. McCord entertained the Four-Four club Thursday evening. The ancient castle and an Irish hut or two were constructed in miniature on its banks, and a boat floated on its surface. Shamrocks, moss and rocks were used in carrying out the idea. Shamrocks were also used in other decorations, the entire scheme being fitting for a St. Patrick's day celebration. A turkey dinner was served, the guests being Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Backs, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zeppenfeld, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Ames, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wallop, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. McFadden, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, Mrs. Richard Melrose, Miss Winifred Melrose, Mrs. A. Mahaney, Miss Edna Wents, Hugo Strodthoff, E. E. Smith and Ross Phegley. In the whist games which followed the dinner, Mrs. F. A. Backs carried off the honors among the ladies and F. A. Yungbluth won the gentleman's prize. Mr. and Mrs. Angus McAulay gave 4 party Thursday evening, Rev. and Mrs. R. W. Mitchell of this city being the guests of honor. There were present besides the above guests, Herbert Mitchell, their son, Mrs. S. L. Beebe and Robert McAulay. St. Patrick's colors were used in decorating the house. Mrs. Mowry's husband abandoned her and her infant son some fifteen years ago, and her insanity is thought to be a direct result of this unspeakable crime on his part. She has said of late that he was anxious to return to her, but that he was being kept away by a number of her friends. Her son, now a youth of some sixteen years, has gone to his uncle in Arizona, where he is learning the telegrapher's trade. Mrs. Mowry's many friends in this city will learn with great regret of the misfortune which has overtaken her. In all the vicissitudes and privations which she has endured in recent years, she remained a good and true woman, caring for and educating her child and ever looking forward to the time when her truant husband would again return to her. It is hoped that special treatment at the state hospital may again restore her to reason. The case is one of exceptional sadness, and if her husband be really in the state at the present time, he should be called upon by the authorities to make reparation for his unnatural act. COMPLAINING WITNESS HAS FADED AWAY Jesus Martinez Disappeared When Wanted to Give Evidence All efforts on the part of the sheriff's office to locate Jesus Martinez, complaining witness in the case against Ruperto Carragosa, which opened Monday in superior court having failed, efforts were being made to have the testimony taken at the time of the preliminary hearing of the case introduced as the testimony of Martin ez. Sarragosa is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to IN ASYLUM OF FORMER PIGDENT MRS.

Hardin, a pioneer city, who with his ment Southern people, commit murder. The crime was committed at Anaheim on the night of December 19, 1915, and was the result of a quarrel over a woman. Martinez was severely cut in the back of the head while Sarragosa also was badly cut. From information gathered at Anaheim, it developed that Martinez had left about a week ago. Two of the witnesses, Luis Gonzales and Joe Roscoe, who had been called in this case, were arrested as they stepped out of an automobile in front of the Sheriff's office Monday morning and taken to the county jail on a charge of intoxication. DEBATE AT A.U.H.S. FRIDAY EVENING Hollywood and Anaheim Will Contest For Honors on Rostrum Anaheim high school will meet Hollywood at the auditorium Friday night, March 24, in the third of the series of debates arranged for the Southern California debating league. Anaheim has participated in two debates this season, winning from Whittier and losing to Los Angeles. The BOLD BURGLARS STEAL METAL FROM CITY SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS' WORTH OF COPPER WIRE TAKEN FROM MUNICIPAL HOUSE STOLEN FROM THE STORE ROOM AND CARTED AWAY WHILE PLANT WAS RUNNING The war in Europe is probably responsible for the burglary Thursday night by which the city of Anaheim lost $600 worth of property. The war is unquestionably responsible for the unprecedented increase in the price of copper during the past year, making it so valuable that it is now a commodity worth carting away. Before the outbreak of hostilities it was little better than old junk, and was not worth risking chances of arrest by either a police man or a bullet in order to get possession of it, but since so much of it is now required for the manufacture Hollywood and Anaheim Will Contest For Honors on Rostrum Anaheim high school will meet Hollywood at the auditorium Friday night, March 24, in the third of the series of debates arranged for the Southern California debating league. Anaheim has participated in two debates this season, winning from Whitier and losing to Los Angeles. The question for Friday night is, "Resolved, that a law should be enacted providing for the restriction of all immigrants over 16 years of age, who can not pass an examination in the reading of some language." Anaheim has the affirmative side. John Bradley and Harold Goodale are the Anaheim debaters. These boys have both proven their eloquence in the past, and Anaheim confides that they will do their duty and win this debate. They have the easy side of the question, and have the advantage of battling on their own grounds. They will also have the full strength of the noise brigade to stimulate them. Here's to you, boys. Sail in and win! SHAKE UP OCCURS IN STATE DENTAL BOARD Dr. F. H. Houck Elected President to Succeed Dr. C. E. Rice In the shake-up that occurred in the State Board of Dental Examiners in San Francisco last week, Dr. F. H. Houck of Anaheim was elected president of the board. Three members of the board voted in favor of ousting Dr. C. A. Herrick of San Francisco as secretary of the board. Dr. C. E. Rice of Los Angeles, who was president of the examiners, was elected secretary to succeed Dr. Herrick, and Dr. Houck was chosen to fill the vacancy made by this shift. Another important move made by the dental examiners was to change the office of the board from San Francisco to Los Angeles. A San Francisco dispatch states that one member of the board stated that the reason for deposing Dr. Herrick, who has been secretary for ten years, was that he used arbitrary methods. It was a bold, bad bunch of thieves that broke into the municipal power plant last Thursday night, and got away with a large amount of copper wire. The thieves appeared to be acquainted with the ground, the lay-out, and the possibilities of getting away with the loot without detection. Although a night force is on duty, and the plant was in operation at the time, the wily thieves broke in and stole the goods. Six hundred dollars worth of copper wire, most of it new, which had recently been received for extensions of the electric lighting system, was carried away. This wire was stored in a shed adjoining the main building of the power plant. The shed was not locked, but it would have made little difference to the thieves if it had been, as it would have been an easy matter to break open the door. The noise of the engines would have prevented the employees inside the building hearing any sound outside. The thieves, therefore, got away with their booty, and the loss was not discovered until the next day. The burglars left no clue. It is supposed that a truck stopped near me water tank and the copper was carried out to it. There is nothing to indicate, however, just how the metal was gotten away with. It is evident the thieves had it located and plans laid beforehand. Immediately on the discovery of the burglary Marshal Kellenberger reported it to the sheriff's office, and also communicated with authorities at Los Angeles and elsewhere, and if an attempt is made to market the stolen goods the thieves will probably be nabbed. L. A. MAN MARRIES LOGAL YOUNG LADY Miss Pansy Newlin Wedded to R. W. Graves Tuesday Miss Pansy Newlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Newlin of the Stanton region was married on Tuesday afternoon to Richard W. Graves of Los Angeles. Only the immediate friends of the bride and groom were present. Rev. Doctor Gill of Los Angeles performed the ceremony. Mr. Graves is manager of the Pacific Light and Power company's plant in Los Angeles, and is one of the promising young business men of the Angel city. The bride is one of the most charming and popular young ladies of the Stanton district, and will carry with her the best wishes of a large circle of friends. The young couple left in the evening in an auto for Los Angeles and will take a trip of indefinite length to San Diego. The date of their return is not known, but they will later announce their address in Los Angeles to their friends. Prof. Vanderveer announces that there will be no vacation in the Anaheim school this spring owing to the enforced vacation during the high water season. The schools will close June 16. MICHIGAN YOUNG MEN TOURING CALIFORNIA Visit Anaheim and are Much Impressed With What They See After reading and hearing a great deal about California, three young men of Michigan determined to come out and see for themselves. They are Francis Harrison of Kinde, Henry Stute and Frank Turner, both of Pigeon. The young men had traveled over a considerable portion of the state before reaching Orange county. They came up from San Diego last week and made a stop of several days at Anaheim. H. O. Henderson and Fred Koesel of the Anaheim Realty company, showed them around the city, and made them acquainted with the advantages of this region as a place of residence. They left Monday for Los Angeles, expecting to visit that city and San Francisco before returning home, but before leaving expressed themselves as extremely well pleased with what they saw in Orange county. They regard this as the most favored spot in California, and hinted that Anaheim might see them again before long. The Gazette will follow them and keep them posted on the doings of this section. Miss Ida Heitsheusen went up to Los Angeles Friday on a visit to her sister.
