FAT MEN PROVE TOO HEAVY FOR LEANS DEFEAT THEIR OPPONENTS BY THE UNHOLY SCORE OF 26 TO 8 HEAVY WEIGHTS BEGIN TO WEAKEN IN THE NINTH, BUT THE GAME WAS CALLED The dopesters who had it all settled beforehand that the leans would have a decided advantage over the fats on a hot day and were sure to win the game were responsible for the supporters of the slims losing all their small change on Monday's ball game between the fats and the leans. It was evident from the opening of the first inning that the fat gentlemen were determined to win, and the manner in which they began swatting the ball and cavorting around the bases was heart breaking to their opponents. Both sides showed wisdom in selecting a line up and signing twice as many men as were permitted to play at one time, as players frequently fell out and substitutes had to be provided. The line up for the fats included Frank Murch, C. W. Pendleton, C. B. Halley, John Tuffree, Pete Wisser, Harry Pearson, Dave Thompson, W. E. Duckwort, Dean Hasson, M. E. Beebe, Butch Morgan, Charles Eygabroad, Herman Stern, H. Schreirer, Ralph McFadden, J. W. Wallop, Herman Stock and a few others. The leans signed up Carl disturbing the peace. Borero intimated that he would swear to a complaint charging Departe with carrying concealed weapons. Borero and Desparte got into a dispute Sunday afternoon and the former losing control of his temper, picked up an ax and started after Desparte, who, in order to protect himself, ran. After reaching a point of safety he told Borero that he was armed and unless he dorpped the ax he would shoot. At this point friends of both the men unarmed Borero. Desparte is father of one of the women who figured in the sentational charges made against Mayor Sebastian previous to the recent election in Los Angeles. MORE RUMORS OF A NEW RAILROAD LINE Options Have Been Secured on Much Property In Orange County The fact that strangers have been busy lately securing options on property in Orange county towns has revived rumors that either the Salt Lake railroad or the Pacific Electric is preparing to build a line through the county. That same old rumor has been playing peek-a-boo around Santa Ana, Anaheim and Fullerton for a year or so. About eighteen months ago the purchase of a bunch of lots east of Garfield street between First and Fifth streets in Santa Ana, and the purchase of other pieces in Anaheim and Fullerton were declared by many people who said they knew or thought that they knew or who had said that they thought they knew to be a move on the part of the Salt Lake to get a right of way to San Diego.

The line up for the fats included Frank Murch, C. W. Pendleton, C. B. Halley, John Tuffree, Pete Wisser, Harry Pearson, Dave Thompson, W. E. Duckwort, Dean Hasson, M. E. Beebe, Butch Morgan, Charles Eygabroad, Herman Stern, H. Schreirer, Ralph McFadden, J. W. Wallop, Herman Stock and a few others. The leans signed up Carl Vannatta, Al Koch, George Chambers, Ernest Bowen, R. W. McClellan, Leo Sheridan, W. T. Wallop, Sam Snodgrass, Cherbs Virgoe, Archer Fay, Burleigh Goodrich, F. T. Edmiston, Richard Fischle, Frank Tausch, Chillie Fisher, Fred Backs and W. A. Wallace. The leans could have strengthened their line-up materially by putting George Kahler on the mound, K. E. Jensen on first and Chillie Fisher on the keystone bag, but as all three gentlemen refused to play there is a suspicion that they were subsidized by the fats. Babe Bowen who was in the box for the leans, was handicapped from the fact that if a fat failed to hit the sphere, the ball was almost certain to hit him, which put him in line for a circuit of the bases. George Chambers, behind the bat, handled Babe's curves in professional style. At the end of the seventh, with the score standing 22 to 4 in favor of the heavyweights, Bowen weakened and was switched to third base, Prof. Hargrave going on the mound. The professor did exceedingly well, allowing but four runs in two innings, putting a stop to the run getting after the 26th man had reached home. The fats had the advantage also, in their battery. Dave Thompson and Frank Murch, both Union Oil men, were in the points, and it was impossible for the leans to connect with Dave's swift balls. They succeeded in getting four men around the bases in the first eight innings, and four more in the ninth. The fats had begun to weaken, and the score might have been different had George Kahler continued to umpire. But he gave up the job to Chuck Hatfield and Chuck was so partial to the fats that he cut off the run-getting after the leans had made four runs. The score was 26 to 8. Jurge West yesterday heard the application of the present bondsmen of healm and Fullerton for a year or so. About eighteen months ago the purchase of a bunch of lots east of Garfield street between First and Fifth streets in Santa Ana, and the purchase of other pieces in Anaheim and Fullerton were declared by many people who said they knew or thought that they knew or who had said that they thought they knew to be a move on the part of the Salt Lake to get a right of way to San Diego. In an interview in Los Angeles about that time President Clark of the Salt Lake emphatically declared that there was nothing to the rumor. Weeks and months went by, and the rumor was no longer subject for conversation. Recently, however, the rumor has suddenly come to life again. Like the Santa Ana river, it comes and goes. People who live in the vicinity of Poinsettia street between Fifth street and as far north as Fourteenth street Santa Ana, say that there is something doing for some kind of a right of way, whether it be Salt Lake or something else no one knows will tell. There is no question but that a Los Angeles man, W. E. Newcomb, has been at work securing options of lots on the west side of Poinsettia street. It was learned last week that J. G. Quick who owns lots at the corner of Sixth and Poinsettia, is among those who have given the Los Angeles man an option. In the next block north, on Poinsettia and between Brown and Fruit streets, Mrs. J. D. Vail has given an option and has received a small payment. In that same block, neighbors say that the Wilmot lot, facing on Fruit street back of the Harris house, has gone upon the Newcomb list. In the next block north, that between Fruit and Stafford, several properties have been optioned. According to reliable information received, five lots in the east half of the block, that facing on Poinsettia, are Newcomb's, if he closes his options. William Duncan of 720 Poinsettia has given an option that ends July 1. He has received a payment. Other property owners in the block who are reported to have given options are Mrs. Crump, S. Sennett, Mrs. Wilson and Fred Mahoney. North of Stafford street is a half block owned by the Southern Pacific and occupied by Fred Rafferty's gardens and north of Vance is the half block owned by the S.

Those asking for the release being George W. Ford, George W. Minter, A. Getty, J. Yoch, C. D. Ball, C. E. Parker, H. C. Dawes, A. J. Crookshank and C. S. Crookshank. The bondsmen ask to be released on the grounds that it will not be safe to store the county's money in the safe at the court house, which now becomes necessary as a result of the agitation started by the Taxpayers' League. It is also cited in the petition as a reason for asking the release that two of those persons who signed the bond are now dead—M. M. Crookshank and John McFadden. The petitioners point out that Mr. Joplin has already received assurance he can secure another bond. This bond arrived Monday and will be turned over to the county as soon as the audit of Mr. Joplin's books now being made by County Expert Walter Gregg is completed. This audit is being made at the request of the bonding company. BAD MEXICANS Alleging that he was chased over nearly the entire town of Stanton by Saverio Borero, who was armed with an ax, J. Desparte, of Stanton, Monday filed a complaint with District Attorney L. A. West, charging Borero with William Duncan of 720 Polnsettia has given an option that ends July 1. He has received a payment. Other property owners in the block who are reported to have given options are Mrs. Crump, S. Sennett, Mrs. Wilson and Fred Mahoney. North of Stafford street is a half block owned by the Southern Pacific and occupied by Fred Rafferty's gardens and north of Vance is the half block owned by the S. P. and occupied by the county nursery. If the Salt Lake or any other railroad gets a right o fway there it probably would be by condemnation. It was declared that options had been given on property east of the Santa Ana hospital, and also that an option had been given north of Washington avenue in line with the strip to the south, but no confirmation of those rumors could be secured. The chain of options given to the Los Angeles man brings about the inevitable conclusion that there is something doing, either by the Salt Lake or by some other railroad is not known. The only other railroad that might want to go through there would be the P. E., but as yet the P. E. has hardly been considered in the rumors talked there. At Anaheim and Fullerton there has been talk that it was the P. E. Why the P. E. would want to buy a right of way when it has tracks in on North Main street and when it could come in on the S. P. if it wanted a private right of way might be answered to the satisfaction of some of the doubtful ones. A feature that adds to the theory of a right of way is the fact that the man who has been getting options along Poinsettia street the last ten days or two weeks is the same man who got options and bought property from Wm. F. Lutz and others south of Fourth street eighteen months ago.

Hamler tendered his resignation to the board of trustees at their meeting on Thursday night to take effect immediately. The same was accepted and upon motion of Trustee Stark, seconded by Trustee Brunworth the resignation was accepted. Trustee Stark moved that John Cook be appointed to fill the vacancy. Trustee Dwyer was in favor of having the new appointee taken from among the business ranks of the city, but made no nomination for the office. Dwyer was in favor of delaying the appointment to the next regular meeting. Trustee Brunworth seconded Cook's nomination, and upon roll call he was elected. Trustees Schneider, Stark and Brunworth voting for Cook. Trustee Dwyer voting against the appointment. Trustee Hamler upon retiring thanked the board for past courtesies shown him during his incumbency, and hoped the new board would be showered with all manner of success and prosperity. City Clerk Merritt administered the oath of office upon Mr. Cook and that gentleman took his seat as a member along that thoroughfare. The removal of several large pepper trees on that street was left to the committee on public improvements. Removal of an open water ditch near the orphanage is contemplated and a cement pipe will be put in. Trustee Dwyer inquired of Engineer Adams in regard to the weak water pressure in the outlaying mains during fires. During the fire at John Cook's place on South Walnut street there was hardly any water at all. The matter is a serious one. It was learned that many people persist in using water for sprinkling purposes during an alarm of fire, greatly reducing the water pressure at a fire, when the entire source of supply should be available in such cases. There is an ordinance against such sprinkling practices and Trustee Dwyer wanted to know why the ordinance was not enforced. In case of fires in the future a strict watch was ordered kept on infractions of the law in regard to the open sprinklers and arrests are to be made. The large water tank at the S.P. station at Loara came in for censor in this regard, as the tank fills automatically, and should the same be empty, or nearly so, during a fire, the tank would have to fill up before shutting itself off. The Anaheim Gazette was awarded the contract to do the city printing for the ensuing year. There was nothing new in regard to the Broadway paving, and whether or not Contractor Curtis of Los Angeles will sign up and do the work remains to be seen. FULLERTON'S TRUSTEES CONSIDER BUILDING SITE May Purchase Block of Ground for a New City Hall CAN'T LEGISLATE PEOPLE INTO HEAVEN MRS. WIGHTMAN SPEAKS AGAINST DOMINATION OF POLITICS BY THE CHURCHES ADVOCATES PERSONAL LIBERTY AND DENOUNCES MORAL REFORMERS AND BLUE LAWS Personal liberty and blue laws is a subject which Mrs. Lulu Wightman, the noted lecturer has studied and talked upon from the public platform for the past quarter of a century, and she discusses it in a brilliant and convincing manner. She is now making a state-wide tour of California, lecturing on the "menace of prohibition," and giving reasons why California should not vote dry on the seventh of November. Mrs. Wightman is a free lance, representing no organization, denomination or association, but is giving her views, teh result of study investigation and observation. She spoke on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, in front of the First National bank to a large audience Thursday and Friday nights. She has one advantage over the majority of street speakers, as the passers-by who paused out of curiosity, remained to hear her argument. She is a forceful and convincing talker, and has a faculty of keeping her auditors interested although they may not agree with her argument.

City Clerk Merritt administered the oath of office upon Mr. Cook and that gentleman took his seat as a member of the board. Trustee Schneider who had received the appointment as mayor at the previous session, presided at the meeting. Ordinance No. 301, amending the liquor ordinance, was passed. The amendment provides for the granting of a table liquor license, everyday except Sunday, to the Valencia cafe. Liquor to be served with bona fide meals only. Delinquent taxes to the amount of $205.50, due on last year's assessment, were reported collected. The finance committee reported auditing bills to the amount of $717.17, for which warrants were ordered paid. A certificate of title and deed for a half acre of ground in the city of Stanton was received and filed. A communication was received from the city of Compton, extending an invitation to attend a carnival to be held there. Accepted and placed on file. Messrs. Gathas & Harrison, proprietors of the Oyster Loaf Cafe, addressed a communication to the board, asking for a table liquor license, including Sunday. Upon motion of Hamler, seconded by Brunworth, the communication was ordered filed. A building permit, calling for a $22,000 brick building on West Center street, to be erected by John Cassou, was granted. J. W. Sackett made application for re-appointment as street superintendent. Trustee Dwyer was opposed to making any appointments at this time, and suggested that action be deferred to allow the board, as a committee of the whole, to investigate the different branches of the city government and report at a future meeting. This board decided to do. Other applications for city positions were as follows: City Engineer—O. E. Steward. Rate Collector—W. A. Wallace. City Recorder—J. S. Howard. There was nothing new in regard to the Broadway paving, and whether or not Contractor Curtis of Los Angeles will sign up and do the work remains to be seen. FULLERTON'S TRUSTEES CONSIDER BUILDING SITE May Purchase Block of Ground for a New City Hall The recently elected board of trustees held its third meeting, Monday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. W. D. Hamman of San Francisco wrote to the city clerk, wanting to install an unusually perfect fiscal system of accounting. The matter was referred to the finance committee for investigation. E. J. Van Camp, a graduate of Syracuse university, who has been working for the city engineer, was appointed building superintendent and inspector of plumbing. The other applications presented for the position were, H. C. Harrington, Geo. E. Brockman, Arthur H. Johnson, H. S. Budd and Silas Clark. George Cline, on behalf of the owner, George Amerige, offered to sell to the city the block of land where stands the big hotel, reaching 300 feet from Commonwealth to Amerige avenues and fronting 175 feet on either street, for the sum of $25,000. He offered to take some lots owned by the city at the city's valuation, and allow the city to pay down 5 per cent per annum in advance for interest, and allow the principal to be paid for at some future date. It is claimed it would be an ideal site for a city hall with a park surrounding it. The hotel can be rented until the city is ready to build, and the wreckage will be valuable when the time comes to build. The trustees promised to consider the matter. The city engineer—acting building and plumbing inspector, reported fees for the past two weeks amounting to $11.28. E. J. Marks reported, by request of the board, that the probable income up to the last of August would be in the neighborhood of $22,598.31, and that the average monthly expenditure for the last four months was $2,565.50. Also that next year certain debts would have been extinguished, leaving something like $7,000 more available. On the strength of this statement, She spoke on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, in front of the First National bank to a large audience Thursday and Friday nights. She has one advantage over the majority of street speakers, as the passers-by who paused out of curiosity, remained to hear her argument. She is a forceful and convincing talker, and has a faculty of keeping her auditors interested although they may not agree with her argument. While Mrs. Wightman is an advocate of Christianity as preached by the founder of the Christian religion, she is unalterably opposed to a union of church and state or a domination of politics or government by church organizations or moral reformers. She referred to the Pilgrim fathers who fled from England in 1620 to escape religious intolerance and established in America a more rigid and intolerable government than was ever known in England. She denounced the efforts of the church organizations and the moral reformers to get control of the governments, city, state and national, and declared that victory for them would result in a reign of hypocrisy and incompetency, as no man could hold the smallest office who would not subscribe to their rigid demands. She pointed out the evils that would result from turning the state government over to church organizations and the moral reformers. "Man," she said, "according to the teachings of Christ, must be the savior of his own soul. You can't legislate a man into heaven." Mrs. Wightman pointed to the holy city of Long Beach as the most perfect example of a community ruled by the churches. Her reference to Long Beach caused a general laugh among the auditors. Long Beach she said, is really ruled by one man who is the official censor. No man can get an office, elective or appointec-, unless he has agreed to conform to the code of this official censor, consequently the officials are forced to wear puritanical faces. While "The Menace of Prohibition" was one of the subjects on which Mrs. Wightman was advertised to talk, she touched lightly on that theme, merely referring to Kansas, Vermont and Maine as examples of states where prohibitory laws were in effect. Kansas, she said, voted itself supposedly dry thirty-six years ago, and that first step was the germ of all the freak puritanical laws which have since been Trustee Dwyer was opposed to making any appointments at this time, and suggested that action be deferred to allow the board, as a committee of the whole, to investigate the different branches of the city government and report at a future meeting. This the board decided to do. Other applications for city positions were as follows: City Engineer—O. E. Steward. Rate Collector—W. A. Wallace. City Recorder—J. S. Howard. City Marshal and Sewer Inspector—John Kellenberger. City Attorney—H. G. Ames. H. V. Weisel asked for appointment as city attorney, and Roger C. Dutton also asked for the appointment, saying he would fill the position at a salary of $75 per month. The position at present is on a fee basis. Trustee Dwyer reiterated his declaration that before any appointments are made the board should make an investigation as to the needs of the city in the various departments before filling the positions. Appointments, in all probability, will be made at the next regular meeting. Trustee Stark asked City Clerk Merritt if the office of rate collector could not be consolidated with that of the clerk, with a view of the latter official arranging for the collection of the moneys for light and water. Clerk Merritt vigorously opposed any such action, claiming there was no law requiring him to hire a deputy and as he is now over-burdened with city duties he failed to see how he could perform the extra labor. Retrenchment in the city payroll seemed to pervade the air, and perhaps some heads in the minor departments will be severed and cast into the municipal waste basket. Engineer Steward reported that many property owners on Vine street were ready to put in cement curbing for the past two weeks amounting to $11.28. E. J. Marks reported, by request of the board, that the probable income up to the last of August would be in the neighborhood of $22,598.31, and that the average monthly expenditure for the last four months was $2,565.50. Also that next year certain debts would have been extinguished, leaving something like $7,000 more available. On the strength of this statement, it was decided to go ahead with the $2,000 new bridge over Brea creek at Union avenue, and the clerk was authorized to advertise for bids for materials, and for materials and labor, to be returned at 7:20 p.m., Tuesday evening, May 20th. E. M. James of Los Angeles, representing the Standard Oil company, appeared before the board and stated that the company wished to establish a storage and supply station on block 35, the old O. & C. grounds. He said there would be three 20,000 gallon steel tanks undergound, a warehouse about 40 by 120 feet, a gasoline engine, air pump, etc., for pumping the oil into the wagons and drums. They expected to keep gasoline, distillate and coal oil. In order not to conflict with ordinance No. 184, which regulates storage of combustible liquids, the board agreed next Monday to pass an amendment to eliminate block 35 from the fire district, and then pass an ordinance granting the Standard a permit for the slupply station, subject to the usual license, etc. This station is to be like those in Anaheim, Santa Ana, etc. After attending to a number of minor matters, such as giving the superintendent of streets power to hire and fire, etc., the board adjourned.

INSURANCE COMPANY ADOPTS NEW RULING Demands That More Care be Exercised In Protecting Barns From Autos The Orange County Farmers' Mutual Insurance company adopted a resolution last Saturday to the effect that no insurance be written on barns or other buildings wherein autos are stored or kept, except when the portion of such building wherein autos are kept is completely enclosed by tight walls and celled overhead, and the floors constructed of cement, sheet iron or dirt and all waste, rags, or oth- BUY YOUR Lawn Seed HERE We Handle a Guaranteed Line of Lawn Mowers Rubber Hose Garden Tools, etc. DICKEL'S DICKEL'S Willard The Season's Greetings Here's wishing you a happy Easter and hoping when your storage battery needs attention you'll take advantage of our expert service.

This not only effects insurance to be issued in future, but applies to all policies now out. Secretary C. W. McNaught was instructed to notify all of the policy holders—there are over 3000 of them—of the ruling. Any person whose barn burns down will have to show that the rule was complied with before the insurance will be paid. The action of the directors of the farmers' mutual company was taken because several recent fires and near-fires weer due to the housing of autos in barns where the floors were covered with hay and straw. The destruction of a barn at Yorba Linda and of John Cook's barn at Anaheim are believed to have been due in each instance to the backfire of an automobile. Cook carried $1020 with the farmers' mutual, and one of his automobiles was insured for $300. His Stutz machine was without insurance. Some valuable trees near the barn were badly damaged. The growth of the automobile as a farm conveniences is shown by the investigations of the directors of the local fire insurance company. Five or six years ago but few of the ranchers had automobiles. Now most of them own them, and it is asserted that a good many of them run their machines into their barns without paying any attention to how close the hay may be and regardless of what is underfoot. The directors want to get rid of the menace, and saw no way to get rid of it excepting through the adoption of the order that they adopted Saturday. A survey of Orange county soils is now being made by the bureau of soils department of agriculture. It will probably require a year's time to complete the work. Dr. W. W.
