VALENCIA HOTEL HASTHREE-DAY OPENING THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY NIGHTS ARE DATES FIXED FOR THE BANQUETS CITY LICENSE TAX ORDINANCE DENOUNCED BEFORE BOARD OF TRADE MONDAY NIGHT Three days of banqueting, of celebrating and of feasting will mark the formal opening of the Hotel Valencia, and the dedication of the new quarters of all its tenants next week. H. O. Henderson, chairman of the entertainment committee of the board of trade, announced to that body Monday night that the board was scheduled to begin the festivities with a banquet at the Valencia cafe on Thursday evening, May 4. This will not be confined to members of the board of trade, but an invitation is extended to all who feel so inclined to come and make merry with them. F. K. Gress. bring suit to test the legality of the ordinance. A discussion on the telephone service was started on the announcement by Chairman Hauck that Judge Howard, acting on a committee, had notified him that deficiencies in the service was due to equipment and not to local service. This started a lengthy argument, nearly everybody having a grievance to report. It was finally decided to leave the matter to the public improvement committee, with instructions to make a thorough investigation and report its findings. As the public improvements committee consisted of only C. R. Graham he selected M. E. Beebe and C. R. Prince to act with him and promised to get to the root of the trouble and find out where the blame lay. Mr. Graham, as chairman of the special committee appointed to investigate the sanitary condition of the Central and Broadway schools, reported that they found everything in first class condition. The Mexican situation was being handled wisely. John Ziegler also had a grievance. He said that while the board was investigating the telephone company it might be an act of wisdom to send a committee up to the gas office. He had begun using gas in his building the first of the month for heating water, etc., and an examination of the meter that day showed that he had and the dedication of the new quarters of all its tenants next week. H. O. Henderson, chairman of the entertainment committee of the board of trade, announced to that body Monday night that the board was scheduled to begin the festivities with a banquet at the Valencia cafe on Thursday evening, May 4. This will not be confined to members of the board of trade, but an invitation is extended to all who feel so inclined to come and make merry with them. F. K. Gresswell promised that the new furniture would be installed in the board's rooms before that date, and that everything would be in readiness to receive visitors. On the following night, Friday, May 6, the merchants' association will have charge of affairs and will give the banquet. This will be in the nature of a get-together affair, and all the merchants in the city who are members of the association will probably attend with their families. Saturday night will wind up the banqueting, and this will probably be the biggest night of all as the Mother Colony club will banquet its members and the wives of its members. As this club has grown so large it was considered necessary to divide the feasting into three sections, the big dining room not being large enough to accommodate all who want to attend. As many men belong to all three organizations they will probably be surfelited with the good things the Valencia cafe sets before them. The hotel people, the cafe people, the Anaheim National bank force, will take part in all three of the affairs. All sections of the big building will be thrown open for the inspection of the visitors, and everybody is expected to make himself at home. The new license tax ordinance was again on the boards for discussion, and a declaration was made that it is about to be tested in the courts. On Monday the Pacific Sewer Pipe company sent a truck load of ornamental brick down from Los Angeles to be used in Wisser's new front. Allen Brothers' Truck and Transfer company did the hauling. When the truck was half unloaded in front of the Wisser saloon, City Marshal Kellenberger, who is the official license collector for the city, appeared on the scene and demanded $40 license. Under the ordinance the man in charge of the truck found himself in a peculiar situation. He could neither reel the brick he had dumped off and Central and Broadway schools, reported that they found everything in first class condition. The Mexican situation was being handled wisely. John Ziegler also had a grievance. He said that while the board was investigating the telephone company it might be an act of wisdom to send a committee up to the gas office. He had begun using gas in his building the first month for heating water, etc., and an examination of the meter that day showed that he had consumed 700,000 cubic feet of gas since the first of April. At that rate, he said, he would soon be bankrupt. He was advised to overhaul his runaway meter. V. W. La Mont started something which will end in an investigation when he told that he had recently visited the Exposition building in Los Angeles, and found products exhibited from nearly every county in the state with the exception of Orange. He wanted to know why this county, the most productive in the state, and a next-door neighbor of Los Angeles, should be thus discriminated against. F. K. Gresswell, chairman of the exhibits committee, declared he would make it his business to find out. Orange county had sent numerous things to the men in charge, and he, himself had made a case, at a cost of $50, put some Anaheim exhibits in it, and sent it by request of the managers to the Exposition bulldog. The matter was left to Mr. Gresswell, who promised to go forthwith to the Exposition building and investigate. CONGRESS OF MOTHERS MEETS AT ANAHEIM Interesting Session at Fremont School On Saturday, April 15 Mrs. G. H. Goodale proved herself such an able presiding officer during the past year that she was reelected president of the Fourth District Congress of Mothers' clubs at the meeting at the Fremont school on Saturday, April 15. Other officers elected were vice president, Mrs. Warren of Tustin, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Sweet of Santa Ana; auditor, Mrs. Huff of Santa Ana. An address of welcome was made by Mrs. J. L. Van der Veer, who is president of the local Parent Teachers association and recording secretary of brick down from Los Angeles to be used in Wisser's new front. Allen Brothers' Truck and Transfer company did the hauling. When the truck was half unloaded in front of the Wisser saloon, City Marshal Kellenberger, who is the official license collector for the city, appeared on the scene and demanded $40 license. Under the ordinance the man in charge of the truck found himself in a peculiar situation. He could neither reload the brick he had dumped off and carry them out of town, nor could he unload the balance until the money was paid. A representative of the Pacific company came down and adjusted the matter, permitting the driver to unload his truck and return home. The brick manufacturer brought the matter before the board of trade and denounced the ordinance. He said that if all the cities in California passed similar ordinances and could enforce them it would be a death blow to the manufacturing industry, as no firm could afford to pay such an orbittant tax for the privilege of hauling his goods into a town. Mr. Kellenberger read the section of the ordinance covering the transfer business, which imposes a tax of $40 per year on trucks of over four tons capacity. C. R. Prince also thought the law was unreasonable. He said just a day or two ago he had his piano hauled down from Los Angeles, sending an Anaheim truckman after it. If such an ordinance had been in force in Los Angeles the Anaheim man would have been compelled to pay $40 license before loading it. If a Los Angeles man had hauled it down he would have been forced to give up $40 before he could unload it in this city. The brick manufacturer stated that he had paid under protest and would the past year that she was reelected president of the Fourth District Congress of Mothers' clubs at the meeting at the Fremont school on Saturday, April 15. Other officers elected were vice president, Mrs. Warren of Tustin, corresponding secretary, Mrs. Sweet of Santa Ana; auditor, Mrs. Huff of Santa Ana. An address of welcome was made by Mrs. J. L. Van der Veer, who is president of the local Parent Teachers, association and recording secretary of the Mothers' Congress. This was responded to by Mrs. McElree of Santa Ana. After the regular business was transacted reports from the various departments and local P. T. A.'s were received. Mrs. Anderson, wife of Senator Anderson of Santa Ana, who has charge of the legislative department, spoke at some length upon the new laws pending concerning women and children. She also explained many of the other laws which are being endorsed by the various clubs. Dr. E. W. Hauck, principal of the high school, gave the address of the day. His subject was "Play, an Element in Education." It was greatly appreciated by the congress. Mrs. W. B. Tedford of Santa Ana, a member of the board appointed by the supervisors to assist in the work carried on by the juvenile court and probation office, gave a very interesting talk along that line. The fact that many young children of the county are not receiving the care and training due them, was very clearly brought out. At the meeting of the trustees last Monday night, after the old board had passed out of existence, the new one organized by electing J. J. Schneider president. As the president of the board acts in the capacity of Mayor, Mr. Schneider is now mayor of Anaheim.

Hathorn, campaign manager for the regular republicans, has just issued the following statements regarding the situation in the presidential primary campaign. "The work done by the regular republican committee to date promises victory on May 2nd.

We base our opinion upon the numerous reports which we receive from every county throughout the state.

Lehman & Osmun of the Hotel Valencia cafe, report an extremely satisfactory business since the opening, and the signs all point to a rapidly increasing patronage as the excellence of their service becomes known. It is believed that Anaheim will be a popular stopping place for travelers between Los Angeles and San Diego when the fame of its new hostelry is spread abroad. One hundred Anaheim people took their Easter dinner at the cafe Sunday and were hospitably entertained by the hosts. They found the dining room excellently appointed, the decorations suitable for the day, and the cuisine all that one could wish for. The place is already becoming popular, and will enjoy a large local patronage in addition to the transient trade. Messrs. Lehman & Osmun have had years of experience in the cafe business in cities of the east and on the Pacific coast. Their reputation as first class caterers came with them when they arrived in Anaheim, and they expect to sustain it by giving SPERRYFLOURCO. NEW ANAHEIM INDUSTRY GREAT MILLING INSTITUTION MAKES THIS CITY DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR ORANGE COUNTY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE FEED AT PLANT PURCHASED FROM ANAHEIM MILLING COMPANY One of the largest manufacturing institutions in California is the Sperry Flour company. The product of this company's mills is known and appreciated by housewives from San Diego to Siskiyou, but the firm is seeking to expand its business still further and gather in a new list of customers not yet acquainted with the excellent quality of the flour turned out by the big mills. Recently three distributing houses were established in the south for the purpose of giving better facilities for reaching the customers. One of them is at Anaheim, one The work done by the regular republican committee to date promises victory on May 2nd. Only a few days of the campaign remain and if the same progress is continued there is no question of successful results. We base our opinion upon the numerous reports which we receive from every county throughout the state. It all comes down to this that whenever and wherever the voters of the state fully understand the issue there is no question but that from his heart and from his head he is on the side of fair play and a square deal. "As we stated at the outset of this campaign, there is only one issue and that is whether the real republicans of the great state of California will conduct the affairs of their party or whether they will permit outside dictation and domination. "The voters are rapidly realizing that the Earl ticket represents simply Johnson and his special interests, namely, the hydro-electric power companies, who seem to be indissolubly joined with him today. Just as in 1910, the people of the state of California kicked Herrin and the Southern Pacific machine out of politics of California, so will they now dispose of the new boss and the new interests that are seeking to dominate the politics of this great state. "There is only one ticket before the public that represents the republican party and that is the regular republican ticket named at the Palace hotel March 4th, by a convention of 500 delegates from all parts of the state and further represented by 300 proxies. This convention was called by the state central committee and was composed of the members of the state central committee and the various county central committees from every county of the state, who were the real representatives of the Republican party, having been duly and regularly elected by the people. The regular republicans stand opposed to the ignominious and rotten primary law passed by the legislature of 1916, at the dictation of Hiram Johnson and in direct violation of the wishes and commands of the people as expressed in the constitutional election October 27, 1915, where Johnson's scheme of substituting his personal government in the state and breaking down all parties was overwhelmingly defeated by the people."

"The women of California are also learning that they can expect no support for their national suffrage campaign from either the Earl so called united faction or from any other party than that of the regular republicans who endorsed the Mondell-Sutherland constitutional amendment, at their convention at the Palace hotel. The women also remember that Hiram Johnson positively refused his aid to the women of California in their suffrage campaign in all his campaigns and especially at the time he was advocating his initiative, referendum and recall measures. "It will be remembered that Johnson's loud voice echoed all over the state for these things and he was absolutely silent on woman's suffrage for the state of California, and even in this campaign the Johnson-Earl assemblage at the St. Francis hotel, deliberately turned down the indorsement of the Mondell-Sutherland amendment. From all quarters and from every angle it is apparent that the regular republican Bordwell-to-Chapman ticket for delegates to the national convention will be overwhelmingly elected May 2nd."

As it was on the right side of the road Middletos supposed it was going the same direction they were, and swerved to the left to pass around it, but the vehicle was coming toward them and also turned to let them pass on the right. A collision occured and both boys were catapulted from their seats. Middleton was not seriously injured, and when he recovered sufficiently to take notice he found his friend lying unconscious by the road side with the blood oozing from his nose and mouth. He took the lantern from the buggy and flagged a passing auto, and Gibson was rushed to the residence of Dr. D. W. Hasson, but a hasty examination disclosed to the doctor that medical or surgical skill could not save his life. He died within half an hour without regaining consciousness. The body was brought to the undertaking parlors of Backs & Terry and coroner Winbigler held an inquest on Friday morning. The jury returned a verdict charging the driver of the buggy and the boys with carelessness. The deceased was 17 years of age. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

The jurymen were Al Erickson, H. W. Braden, Oliver Hill, Joe Hessel, E. E. Angell, B. T. Beale, J. C. Callaway, Robert Dunn, Innis Henry, Paul Frahm, I. N. Parker and Steve Cottle. Quong was being prosecuted by the State Board of Pharmacy, with Frank S. Hutton of Los Angeles, as the prosecution attorney. Paul Schonck also DEMOCRATS FORSAKE WAR TAX PARTY Voted Unterrified Ticket all Their Lives, Say Never, Never Again Billy Wallop has been on the war path this week, all on account of his infernal government taxes. Billy has to pay corporation taxes, income tax, war tax, super tax and special taxes, all because of the democratic administration. When he went to the headquarters office in Los Angeles the other day to settle his bill he was curtly told the office was supposed to be closed on that day. "You have a right to treat people with due respect when they came here to settle their taxes, haven't you?" asked Billy. The government officer in charge of the office made a curt reply, and Billy came away because the tax eater declared his office, which was open, was really closed. Billy says he has voted the democratic ticket all his life, but never, never again for him. We always knew that Billy had a saving grain of common sense under his unerrified exterior, and we welcome him to our city. Henry Oelkers, who has voted the democratic ticket since attaining his majority, and who has been a delegate to every democratic convention since Orange county was established, says never again for Don Henrico. He will vote the republican ticket and will turn his back upon Dr. Wilson. He wants no more of the president's foreign policy. smoking opium in violation of the laws of California, and finally they agreed to announce to the court that they could not agree on a verdict. The jurymen were Al Erickson, H. W. Braden, Oliver Hill, Joe Hessel, E. E. Angell, B. T. Beale, J. C. Callaway, Robert Dunn, Innis Henry, Paul Frahm, I. N. Parker and Steve Cottle. Quong was being prosecuted by the State Board of Pharmacy, with Frank S. Hutton of Los Angeles, as the prosecuting attorney. Paul Schenck, also of Los Angeles, defended the accused man. On March 24 Immigration Officers W. A. Brazie and J. C. Nardini, with City Marshal Kellenberger, invaded Chinatown in a search for contraband Chinks who were evading the immigration laws. Anaheim used to be a way station on the underground railway, and the officers evidently believed the mantle of Sam Lee had fallen on the shoulders of some worthy successor. They found no smuggled men, however, the papers of all the inhabitants of Chinktown being straight. But they did find sufficient evidence to lead them to believe that Jung Hing's place was an opium den, consequently they arrested Hing, Quon We Toy, Jung Wong, and Chin Wut. They were arraigned before Judge Howard and bound over for trial. Jung Hing's bond being fixed at $200 and the others at $100 each. They put up the cash and were released. At the preliminary trial, at the request of their attorney, the bail was cut in half and the date for the trial fixed. When that date came, two weeks ago, not a single Chink showed up, each preferring to forfeit his ball. The cases were dismissed and the cash bail declared forfeited to the state, but the officers concluded before leaving town, to stroll down into Chinatown and take a look at the place. They stumbled onto Quong lying asleep with a pipe on a table by his side. He was re-arrested and the court fixed his bail at $500, which he put up in cold cash. Monday was fixed for the date of trial. The evidence presented to the court Monday proved very unsatisfactory to the prosecution. Quong, it appeared, was not caught in the act of smoking hop, and no opium was found in his possession. The only thing that could connect him with a crime against the people of California was the pipe and a quantity of yen she. The Los Angeles officers, to whose minds Henry Oelkers, who has voted the democratic ticket since attaining his majority, and who has been a delegate to every democratic convention since Orange county was established, says never again for Don Henrico. He will vote the republican ticket and will turn his back upon Dr. Wilson. He wants no more of the president's foreign policy. Frank Mauer, who has voted the democratic ticket 44 years, says never again for Frederick. Mrs. Mauer votes the republican ticket and Fred says he is going to vote the same way hereafter. A number of other democratic leaders in this section have announced their intention of voting the republican ticket this fall. They are all welcome into the ranks of the G. O. P. Thomas Crawford of this city will probably be the progressive candidate for assemblyman from Orange county. His name was considered at a meeting of the progressive county central committee recently and the chances are that he will be put forward as the candidate of his party. Lew Wallace of Newport Beach, is also mentioned as a candidate. George Nesbit, the young man who ran down and killed Miss Isabel Thomas near Garden Grove last Wednesday night, has been arrested on a charge of manslaughter and held to answer under $2500 ball. Nesbit was recently discharged from the United States army, having been a sergeant, serving in the Philippines. He was living with his step father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Andres, on the Anaheim-Garden Grove road. There will be a joint meeting of the Guild and Auxiliary of St. Michael's Anaheim, Thursday, May 4th at 2:30 in the Parish house.
