WILL ENTERTAIN 15 HUNDRED GUESTS ORANGE COUNTY WINE COMPANY PREPARING FOR FIFTH ANNUAL BARBECUE WILL BE HELD AT COLUMBIA GARDENS ON MONDAY EVENING, MAY 29 Great preparations are making by the Orange County Wine company's force for the fifth annual barbecue. Some important changes have been made in the program this year, which will insure a larger attendance and add much to the pleasure of the occasion. Heretofore the picnic has always been a stag affair, has been held at some distance from Anaheim, and always on a Sunday. This year it will be held on a week day, after the shades of evening have fallen, it will be within the city limits of Anaheim, and the ladies will be honored guests. Monday evening, May 29, is the date fixed for the barbecue, and Columbia Gardens the place. A year ago the affair was held at Newport Beach and twelve hundred guests were entertained. This year the company is making arrangements to look after the wants of fifteen hundred, and the number may go beyond that estimate. It is promised that there will be ample entertainment for all, regardless of the size of the crowd. The men who have charge of the affair are Joffre P. Nicolas, the proprietor, Rabbi H. P. Noll, general manager, DEATH RESULTS FROM SLIGHT CUT ON HAND Santa Ana Man Succumba to Attack of Lockjaw Taken to the Santa Ana hospital Saturday night, one week after he had sustained what had seemed to him a trivial cut on the hand, Fred Buchhelm, a rancher died at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the agony of convulsions brought on by lockjaw. One week ago Buchhelm was at work affixing a newly sharpened coulter, or disc, to a plow. A wrench he was using slipped and lacerated his hand. The cut was not painful and Buchhelm thought nothing of it, neglecting properly to dress it. Later in the week Buchhelm began to feel a stiffness at the back of his neck. His condition rapidly became more serious. Buchhelm was up and about at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. In a few hours, however, his condition became so critical that he was rushed to the hospital. All efforts to save him were unavailing. Buchhelm leaves a widow, Alice Buchhelm, and a 3-year-old son, Carl. PROTECTIVE TARIFF NECESSARY Men who believe in an America first policy have gotten away from the old idea that a protective tariff is designed entirely for the building up of an "infant" industry. Many years ago arguments in behalf of a protective tariff were based almost exclusively upon this theory. Experience has shown, however, that even after an industry has been built up by the aid of a protective tariff, a retention of that tariff is necessary in order to prevent seizure of our markets by foreign producers who have the advantage of lower wages, lower prices for raw ma- Gardens the place. A year ago the affair was held at Newport Beach and twelve hundred guests were entertained. This year the company is making arrangements to look after the wants of fifteen hundred, and the number may go beyond that estimate. It is promised that there will be ample entertainment for all, regardless of the size of the crowd. The men who have charge of the affair are Joffre P. Nicolas, the proprietor, Rabbi H. P. Noll, general manager, and the executive staff, composed of Lord Kitchener Osborne, Kalser Wilhelm Fellbaum and Von Hindenberg Fricker. The committee is not yet prepared to give out a list of the eatables which will be offered the guests, as new things are being discovered each day and added to the menu. It is mentioned however that two of the largest, fattest and juiciest beeves that could be found on the Pacific coast have been purchased and are awaiting the eventful day, also that twenty-five Southdown sheep are being fattened for the occasion. Mr. Nicolas will have charge of the kitchens and cook the meats. It is hardly necessary to mention that he is an expert, as he has already established a reputation. He will be assisted by an adequate corps of cooks who will be selected not because of favoritism but because of their ability to cook savory dishes. The affair will begin at 6:30 o'clock in the evening, when the Anaheim city band will begin playing in front of the company's place of business on West Center street. At seven o'clock the house will close its doors and, headed by the band, the hosts and guests will march to Columbia Gardens, where the cooks are employed in preparing the eatables. Two hours and a half will be devoted to the banquet, the speaking and the music, and at 10 o'clock dancing will begin in the large pavilion. The Anaheim band and a corps of jubilee singers will make the music and a noted orator, whose name is not yet given to the public will make a patriotic address. Columbia Gardens never before entertained as large a crowd as will be present on this occasion. It is an ideal spot for a moonlight picnic, but the moon will not be depended upon to fill all the illuminating. Myriads of Japanese lanterns will be strung upon the trees and the pavilions, and the park will be encircled with strings of vari-colored electric lights. The press club of Los Angeles will be present in a body and many areas that a protective tariff is designed entirely for the building up of an "infant" industry. Many years ago arguments in behalf of a protective tariff were based almost exclusively upon this theory. Experience has shown, however, that even after an industry has been built up by the aid of a protective tariff, a retention of that tariff is necessary in order to prevent seizure of our markets by foreign producers who have the advantage of lower wages, lower prices for raw material, and other lower costs of production. Although many of our industries had been built up to such an extent that they could no longer be called infant industries, yet, when the Underwood tariff law was passed, European and Asiatic producers began to pour their products into our markets with the result that American mills were closed, or their output curtailed and many employees sent to the bread lines. The smoke nuisance in our manufacturing cities ceased to be a perplexing problem. Our railroads had 300,000 idle cars on their tracks. The busiest places in the United States weer the bankruptcy courts. The fact of the matter is that the American laborer is not willing to accept the same pay, eat the same food, or live under the same conditions that are satisfactory to the European and Asiatic. Nor should he be. He not only demands these better conditions while an industry is being built up, but demands that they be continued after an industry has been placed on its feet, and, so long as he does so insist, it is necessary that the American manufacturer shall have a margin of protection against the cheaper foreign competition. An eminent democrat who was long a leader in the house and is now an influential member of the senate, used the term unfit competitor to describe the American producers who need a protective tariff. In the democratic view, as thus expressed, an American is an unfit competitor unless he is willing to accept the standard of compensation and the standard of living that prevail in Europe and Asia. The republican party approves of no such doctrine. It not only denounces that doctrine but it favors, and, when given the power, maintains an economic system that protects the American workman from a species of competition that we deem "unfit."

The press club of Los Angeles will be present in a body, and many prominent people from the city and elsewhere will be among the guests. Some of them have attended former anniversaries and have learned from experience that the Orange County Wine company is, as its name implies "a house of hospitality," and that acceptance of its invitation means a good time. Dancing at the big pavilion will begin at 10 o'clock. A splendid orchestra has been engaged, and first class music is promised. At midnight the lights will be turned out and the festivities cease. NOTICE TO VETERANS OR THEIR WIDOWS Section 3612 of the Political Code of the state of California requires that you must file with the Assessor your application for exemption of taxes between the first Monday in March and the first Monday in July of each year, and failure to do so shall be deemed and treated as a waiver of such exemption by such person. Therefore, if you fail to make your application before the first Monday in July you forfeit your right to said exemption and will be compelled to pay the taxes on your property, and cannot get refund of said tax. JAMES SLEEPER, Assessor of Orange County, California. The republican party approves of no such doctrine. It not only denounces that doctrine but it favors, and, when given the power, maintains an economic system that protects the American workman from a species of competition that we deem "unfit." We rely upon such an economic policy as the foundation of a sound and permanent prosperity, without the aid of abnormal markets created by a war in which half the civilized world is engaged. We believe that a large majority of the people of the United States want their industries maintained regardless of the continuance of a protective European war. We believe they have made up their minds on this question and that at the election in November they will vote to restore to power the party that believes in America first, rather than the party that endorses the idea that American laborers are unfit competitors, because unwilling to accept European and Asiatic standards. The administration is reported to be much worried by the possibility that Felix Diaz may upset the Carranza government. But we see no occasion for alarm. The administration can as easily shift from Carranza to Diaz as it did from Villa to Carranza. A young Mexican named Arillo Cantl was run owed by an automobile on East Center street Saturday night. He was riding a bicycle when the machine ran into him. After his injuries were dressed he was taken to the county hospital. The identity of the auto driver is not known.

The pictures of one Frank A. Garripe and a girl, Loy Ransford, with whom he was claimed to have eloped from Sullivan, Ind., March 11, 1915, have been circulated through the west for some 14 months. Shortly after that time a couple arrived in Fullerton and registered at the Fullerton hotel as F. Alexander and wife. The page in the register with his signature has since been torn from the book. The couple were attractive and well-liked; but from the beginning Marshal French's suspicions were aroused, and he communicated with the Indiana authorities. Meanwhile a number al bank of Sullivan, Ind. They now live in Terre Haute. The photos are remarkably alike, especially as regards the girl, the parting of the hair and way of wearing it, and the shape of the skull under the hair being almost identical under a magnifying glass. Marshal Basset took his prisoner to the Los Angeles county jail for safety, and the girl and her baby remained with Alfred Vall's family, who live about a half a mile away on the state highway. When interviewed Friday night, the girl, who personally knew the reporter, said she did "not want to say anything that would hurt him." Meaning the husband. Only three questions were asked: "Was any form of marriage ceremony performed over you?" "Yes, of course there was." "Was that before the elopement?" "No. That was afterward." "Had you any idea he had a family?" "No I always thought he was single." The girl did not seem to be much worried over the affair other than that she did not like the fuss and trouble. Most of the oil men who knew Alexander there have gone elsewhere, or cannot be located. According to the most reliable accounts the man's name is really Francis Alexander. Whether or not he once went by the name of Frank Garripe cannot, at present, be proven. It appears that he was born in Philadelphia, spent sometime in his childhood at Oleon, N. Y., where his uncle, John Alexander, was a blacksmith. He also lived in Cooperstown, Pa., where some of his brothers still reside. For seven years he ran a pumping station for the Ohio Oil company at or near Lima, Ohio. He has cousins by the name of Gilligan living at Cooperstown. He worked a time in Sullivan, Ind., from which place the original descriptive circular was issued. He claims to have known Garripe, who, he says, is a smaller man. The girl gives her malden name as Louise Brown—not Loy Ransford. She claims to have been born and raised in Jamestown, N. Y., and that her father, George M. Brown, is connected with the Union Cutlery company there. She claims to correspond with him, and a neighbor reports that he sent her money to come home on a few days ago. She is said to assert that she became acquainted with Alexander in Jamestown, and that she eloped with him from Warren, Pa. She says they went directly to San Francisco On motion duly seconded the following transfers of stock were granted. 10 shares from S. G. and G. G. Lehmer to Tuffree & Griffin; 1 from F. Cotter to A.

Shortly after that time a couple arrived in Fullerton and registered at the Fullerton hotel as F. Alexander and wife. The page in the register with his signature has since been torn from the book. The couple were attractive and well-liked; but from the beginning Marshal French's suspicions were aroused, and he communicated with the Indiana authorities. Meanwhile, a number of olimen claimed to have known both him and his kinfolks in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. A member of a lodge in good standing vouched for his identity on the grounds that while they never had met before they both knew each other's kinfolk intimately. Alexander worked for awhile pumping for Paul des Granges, and gave satisfaction. When the place of city pumper was vacated by resignation, sometime in August, Alexander, among six or seven others, made application in person, and put up such a good talk, and presented a letter of recommendation from the Ohio Oil company, that he was at once chosen to fill the position. Marshal French, although thrown off the track, did not quit, but kept up with his correspondence back east. Finally a tintype was sent out and from the descriptions, the photos, etc., French sent for a U.S. Marshal to make the arrest, as the pumping plant is outside the city limits. The man wanted had eloped March 11th. The couple there had a daughter born on September 13th. Both closely resembled the parties described. Garripe was alleged to have deserted a wife and some six or seven children. The wife's family were offering a reward of $250 cash deposited in the Nation- Louise Brown—not Loy Ransford. She claims to have been born and raised in Jamestown, N.Y., and that her father, George M. Brown, is connected with the Union Cutlery company there. She claims to correspond with him, and a neighbor reports that he sent her money to come home on a few days ago. She is said to assert that she became acquainted with Alexander in Jamestown, and that she eloped with him from Warren, Pa. She says they went directly to San Francisco and there took a boat for Los Angeles. While at sea they were married by the captain; but she has never seen either license or marriage certificate, as her husband attended to those things. From some respects the identification, especially physical, appears perfect; but from other points of view the story is, as yet an unsolved mystery. FIVE MILLION MOTOR CARS Figures given by the Automobile Chamber of Commerce are amazing, even in this magical industry where growth and progress have ceased to surprise us. It is estimated that this year's production will reach the tremendous total of 1,250,000 cars, nearly 350,000 more than last year's record output. That means one sale to every 80 people in the United States. By the end of the present year, it is figured that there will be $3,500,000 motor vehicles in the hands of American owners, making one to every six or seven families. That might be regarded as coming dangerously near the limit of the nation's purchasing power. The demand one would suppose, must soon stop sky-rocketing, leaving only a steady call for the replacing of old cars.
