TEN CANDIDATES FOR DELEGATES TO SAN DIEGO ANAHEIM REPUBLICAN CLUB HAS ROUSING AND HARMONIOUS MEETING MONDAY NIGHT H. O. HENDERSON IS ELECTED TREASURER TO SUCCEED CHAS. EYGABROAD WHO IS ABSENT Ten candidates for representatives from Anaheim township to the republican congressional conference to be held at San Diego July 1, were placed in nomination at the meeting of the Anaheim Republican club at the recorder's office in the city hall Monday night. This township will furnish three of the delegates allotted to the third supervisor district. The election will be held on Saturday, June 24, when the ten nominees will be submitted to the republican voters of the township. It was decided that the three candidates polling the highest number of votes should be the dele- WATER FLOWING THROUGH A. U. W. CO.'S NEW SIPHON Largest Pipe In California Began Working Monday Night Water was turned into the new siphon of the Anaheim Union Water company in Horseshoe Bend Monday night, although there is still some work to perform before it is completed. This is the largest siphon in California. It is 1053 feet in length, 66 inches in diameter and has a capacity of 5000 inches. It was built by the Western Reinforced Concrete Pipe company, at a cost of $10,000. This siphon was constructed to take the place of the ancient ditch which was destroyed in the January floods. The company first proposed to build a wooden flume, but decided later to put in a concrete siphon. It will carry an immense body of water from the river down into the Yorba reservoir whence it will be distributed to the ranchers. Work on it was begun in March, and a large force of men have been employed in its construction. EXCITING FOOTRACE ON STREETS OF ANAHEIM Deputy Sheriff Eells Runs Down Mexican, Capturing Him In Orange Tree Deputy Sheriff Eells and a Mexican named Joe Morales had an exciting held at San Diego July 1, were placed in nomination at the meeting of the Anaheim Republican club at the recorder's office in the city hall Monday night. This township will furnish three of the delegates allotted to the third supervisor district. The election will be held on Saturday, June 24, when the ten nominees will be submitted to the republican voters of the township. It was decided that the three candidates polling the highest number of votes should be the delegates, and the next three highest the alternates. The ten candidates whose names will appear on the ticket are J. W. Duckworth, F. C. Krause, E. N. Cook, J. S. Howard, Robert McKee, John Kellenberger, Oliver Hill, J. A. Fay, F. H. Wessler and E. C. Dutton. The meeting declined to endorse any particular candidate for congress, preferring to leave the delegates free to make a choice at the convention, but L. A. West was the unanimous choice of those present. It was the consensus of opinion, however, that the delegates should not be handicapped with instructions, but should go to San Diego unhampered and assist in the nomination of the strongest man in the district, a republican who can defeat William Kettner. Only one stipulation was handed to the delegates, and it was made emphatic. The man they support must be a true blue republican who has never exhibited a yellow streak. The election will be held on Saturday, June 24th at the city hall. The eleven precincts of the city and East and West Anaheim will vote at that place. According to the rule only those who are registered as republicans will be permitted to vote. As the printed index to the great register does not contain the party designations Secretary Parker was instructed to procure copies from the county clerk giving the political affiliations of the voters in the thirteen precincts. The hundreds who "declined to state" will not be permitted to vote on a mere declaration that he is a republican. There was some discussion on the subject of expressing preference for a candidate and binding the delegates to support him, but J. W. Duckworth explained that the recent conference at Riverside agreed that all delegates should go to San Diego uninstructed and after conferring together put in nomination the strongest man in the district, the man who could poll the most votes irrespective of the county branchers. Work on it was begun in March, and a large force of men have been employed in its construction. EXCITING FOOTRACE ON STREETS OF ANAHEIM Deputy Sheriff Eells Runs Down Mexican, Capturing Him In Orange Tree Deputy Sheriff Eells and a Mexican named Joe Morales had an exciting mile race through the streets of Anaheim Sunday afternoon, which ended in Judge Shanley's orange orchard on Lemon street, with the Mexican up a tree and the officer surrounding it. Morales, who was under a six-months' jail sentence, escaped from a chain gang at Talbert a year ago. Officers were notified several weeks ago that he had been seen at Anaheim, and Eells came over Sunday to look for him. While standing in front of the jitney station at Lemon and Center streets, he saw Morales alight from a bus. The Mexican recognized the officer and took to his heels. The deputy sheriff gave chase and the race was an exciting one to spectators. It continued for a mile or more through some of the business streets of this city, but the fugitive finally switched into the orange grove and tried to hide himself amid the foliage of a tree. Eells was so hot on his trail, however, that he easily located him and placed him under arrest. Morales had served only ten days of a six months' sentence when he made his escape at Talbert. According to the almanac yesterday was the longest day in the year. In this latitude the sun came up at fifty-two minutes past four, and set at eleven minutes after seven. In the latitude of New York Old Sol was twenty-four minutes earlier in coming up, and twenty-three minutes earlier in going down, making the day one minute longer than ours. The Sewing club was entertained by Mrs. O. P. Rust assisted by Mrs. B. Holist Saturday afternoon. The afternoon was spent in doing fancy work. The home was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Refreshments were served by the hostess at the close of the afternoon's work.

W. Duckworth explained that the recent conference at Riverside agreed that all delegates should go to San Diego uninstructed and after conferring together put in nomination the strongest man in the district, the man who could poll the most votes irrespective of the county in which he lives. Ten names will be placed on the ballot but the voter is expected to mark only three. The three men having the highest votes will be the delegates, and next three highest the alternates. Chairman Krause announced that as Treasurer Eygabroad had gone East and probably be absent several months it would be necessary to select another treasurer. H. O. Henderson was unanimously chosen and immediately got busy collecting dues from members present. He was successful as a collector and pocketed a hatful of dollars. E. N. Cook of the Eastside passed over $10 to the new treasurer and was credited with a 10-year paid up membership to the club. Cook is a sound republican and believes in backing his view on every possible occasion. The secretary was instructed to have ballots printed for Saturday's election and the meeting adjourned to Monday, July 17. The election board is composed of J. H. Enearl Inspector, Robert McKee Judge, and Winslow Hyde clerk. The polls will be open from 12 to 6 o'clock. The Fullerton republicans met Monday night and nominated Gus Stern, C. E. Ruddock and G. W. Sherwood for delegates. The Sewing club was entertained by Mrs. O. P. Rust assisted by Mrs. B. Holst Saturday afternoon. The afternoon was spent in doing fancy work. The home was tastefully decorated for the occasion. Refreshments were served by the hostess at the close of the afternoon's work. Miss Lillian Clabaugh left Monday for San Francisco where she will visit friends. She goes north on the steamer Congress. Mr. and Mrs. George Barfoot left Monday for San Diego. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Barfoot of Galva, Iowa, who are visiting them. Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Alling went up to Los Angeles Tuesday morning to see the parade of the Knights of the Temple. Miss Cena Schmidt is acting "hello girl" in the Pacific Telephone office while some of the regulars are taking a summer vacation. John Gilchrist died at his home southwest of town Saturday, the funeral being held at Backs & Terry's chapel Monday, Rev. C. H. M. Sutherland conducting the services. Trustees William Stark, John Cook and John Brunworth with their families and W. H. Houts and family, Henry Kroeger and Mr. Cook's mother and other relatives from Trabuco, were fishing and digging clams in Salt Creek Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Duckworth spent Sunday at Long Beach.

Floyd Hatfield, who belongs to a hospital corps, was summoned to join his command at Los Angeles, and left for that city Monday. His brother, Lee is a sergeant in the same corps. They left with the troops for Sacramento, from whence they will be equipped and sent to the front. Isaac D. Jayne of Buena Park, is battalion quartermaster of the seventh regiment, with the rank of second one brigade of three regiments of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, one company signal corps, one ambulance company and one field hospital, will mobilize at the state camp ground, Sacramento. NEW GRAND THEATRE IS POPULAR HOUSE Anaheim People Pleased With Entertainment Presented by Manager Mozart The New Grand theatre ended its first week in Anaheim Sunday night, and Manager Mozart is more than pleased with the result. The thousands of people from Anaheim and northern Orange county who attended during the nine performances are also pleased with the entertainment offered them, and the house has made a reputation in its opening week that it expects to maintain. Mr. Mozart is a theatrical manager of long experience. He has been in the business for more than forty years, he knows the temper of the theatre going public, and declares his intention of giving them what they want—the best than can be procured on the market. The plays that he has contracted for are absolutely the best that are shown on motion picture screens. Many are anaheim people have been motoring to Los Angeles weekly to see these pictures, and have been paying from fifty cents to one dollar for tickets. 41 GRADUATES RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMAS CLASS OF 1916 PASSES FROM THE ANAHEIM HIGH SCHOOL ON THURSDAY EVENING EXCELLENT MUSIC AND GOOD SPEECHES CHARACTERIZE 16th ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT Forty-one students of the Anaheim high school completed their labors and severed their connection wit hthat institution last Thursday evening. The seniors of 1916 have passed out and joined the alumni, and the juniors of last year will take their places as the heavyweights of the school the coming year. Commencement exercises differed very little from those of former years. The auditorium was banked with flowers and greenery, making a beautiful setting for the forty-one manly young men and sweet girl graduates., who were there to receive their hard-earned diplomas. was subject to call for service in the army and two for naval duty. Floyd Hatfield, who belongs to a hospital corps, was summoned to join his command at Los Angeles, and left for that city Monday. His brother, Lee is a sergeant in the same corps. They left with the troops for Sacramento, from whence they will be equipped and sent to the front. Isaac D. Jayne of Buena Park, is battalion quartermaster of the seventh regiment, with the rank of second lieutenant. He immediately responded to the summons and joined the regiment in Los Angeles. Al Brunworth, Frank Mauten and Hollis Knowlton, who formerly belonged to the seventh regiment, recently were transferred to the marine reserves and are attached to the battleship Oregon. They are expecting orders to join their vessel, but the Oregon is in San Francisco harbor now, and has not yet received instructions to sail for Mexican waters. Brunworth was in Los Angeles Sunday and was told that orders to join the ship might be expected at any time. The boys are ready to go at a moment's notice. A number of young men in Anaheim have expressed their intention of enlisting should a call be issued to fill up the depleted ranks of the companies with volunteers. It is probable that this call will be made, as none of the companies are full, and undoubtedly the government will be compelled to reinforce its army with volunteers before the trouble ends and Mexico is peaceful. While an official declaration of war has not been made by either side, latest news of the situation indicate that a conflict with Mexico is inevitable unless either the government at Washington or the Carranza government recedes from its present belligerent attitude. It is probable that Carranza could not stem the rising tide in his country if he wanted to, and he shows no disposition to try it. On Saturday the de facto president sent an ultimatum to Washington demanding that the American troops be withdrawn from Mexico within seven days. Their presence on Mexican soil at the end of that period would be considered an act of hostility, he said. The reply of the president, was an order directing the mobilization of the militia in every state in the Union at central points, where they will be mustered into the service of the United States, armed and equipped and rushed to the Mex- He has been in the business for more than forty years, he knows the temper of the theatre going public, and declares his intention of giving them what they want—the best than can be procured on the market.

Many are aheim people have been motoring to Los Angeles weekly to see these pictures, and have been paying from fifty cents to one dollar for tickets, but henceforth they can see the same pictures at home at a much less admission charge, besides avoiding the discomforts of the trip in the middle of the night. Moreover the New Grand is fitted with all modern conveniences, and is just as comfortable as any opera house in Los Angeles. Putting $35,000 into a theatre in Anaheim was something of a venture, but the owner and manager believed the expenditure was justified, and the first week's patronage has proved it. The house seats 700 people. It is not large as some of the theatres in Los Angeles, but it has all the conveniences of the bigger houses. It is furnished with wide and comfortable seats with foot rests. It has a system of ventilation that changes the air every three minutes, and the atmospere is perfumed. Although it is absolutely fireproof it is provided with numerous exits. Moreover it maintains an orchestra of seven pieces, and the music alone is worth the price of admission to those who appreciate it. All the plays which Mr. Mozart produces are shown at the besttheatres in Los Angeles, and some of them will be presented here before they reach that city. There is no necessity for Anaheim people to make a trip to Los Angeles to see a first class motion picture show. The New Grand is an acquisition to Anaheim, and will be popular among all the theatre going people in this portion of the county. The New Grand has been showing to large and satisfied audience throughout the week. Miss May Robson in "A Night Out," was on the screen Monday and Tuesday. "The Avenging Conscience" was shown Wednesday, and will be on again tonight, while Friday and Saturday "The Birth of a Man," will be presented, with Mutt and Jeff cartoons. There will be a matinee Saturday afternoon. On Sunday evening will be shown William Courtney in "The Island of Surprise." It is said that Manager Mozart has seniors of 1916 have passed out and joined the alumni, and the juniors of last year will take their places as the heavyweights of the school the coming year. Commencement exercises differed very little from those of former years. The auditorium was banked with flowers and greenery, making a beautiful setting for the forty-one manly young men and sweet girl graduates., who were there to receive their hard-earned diplomas and bid farewell to the school. This is the sixteenth class turned out by the Anaheim high school, and it averages up with those that have gone before, which is a compliment, as the institution has always taken a foremost rank among the high schools of Southern California in intellectual accomplishments and athletics. In the musical program a quartet composed of Morris Martenet, Harold Goodale, Dale Quarton and Fred Slems, rendered a selection. Vocal solos were given by Miss Inez Elliott, Vivien Tower and Clevenger Megede, and a duet was sung by Misses Dorothy Schurr and Philura Sparkes. The high school orchestra furnished the instrumental music. All the speeches were necessarily brief, but they were to the point and were heartily applauded by the large audience. Miss Dorothy Schurr was the salutatorian. She extended a cordial welcome to the parents and visitors present. She said the members of the class realized that they were no longer rowing a boat in the placid waters of a protected harbor, but had launched their barks on the stormy billows of the sea of life, and that each and every one hoped and expected to make a successful fight. By reason of his standing first in scholarship during the four years' course in the high school, Arthur Coons was selected as the valedictorian, and he delivered a neat speech in reviewing the past, and philosophizing on life, and bidding farewell to the school. He said that success in life did not necessarily mean the piling up of dollars or reaching a high place on the social plane, but that he who left footprints of kindness on the sands of time had attained success. It is the custom for each class in passing to leave a memorial, which is set up on the campus suitably inscribed, and preserved by future students.

Their presence on Mexican soil at the end of that period would be considered an act of hostility, he said. The reply of the president, was an order directing the mobilization of the militia in every state in the Union at central points, where they will be mustered into the service of the United States, armed and equipped and rushed to the Mexican border without delay. This order will add 100,000 to the 50,000 men already there. Gen. Pershing with his army of 13,000 men is 250 miles south of the Rio Grande. He is fortified and is said to have ammunition and provisions for a month. He can undoubtedly hold his position against any force sent against him so long as his supplies last, but thousands of Mexican troops are between him and his base, and their first act will be to cut his line of communication. It will be necessary to send an army of relief to Pershing and it will be opposed by a large Mexican army. When an American army of invasion crosses the Rio Grande it will probably carry the border with it, and plant it several hundred miles below the present line. Thousands of Americans have made homes in the northern states of Mexico, and millions of American capital has been invested there. But our people have been murdered or forced to flee for their lives and their property confiscated or destroyed. Not content with this bands of Mexicans have been crossing into the United States killing and looting our people on their own soil. The situation is intolerable, and the time has come when it must cease. The California militia, consisting of J. L. McBride, W. A. Phillips and Robert Paulus, viewers appointed to make a report upon the proposed right of way for a road in the Santa Ana canyon over lands belonging to Mrs. H. Eva Beebe of Aanheim, reported in favor of allowing Mrs. Beebe $10 an acre for the 6.3 acres that will be required to take the main canyon road around Sulphur Slide. The viewers reported Mrs. Beebe asks for $750 for a deed to the right of way. At first she asked $1500. The board of supervisors passed a resolution placing $67.30 in escrow as an offer to Mrs. Beebe for the road. The viewers' report is set for hearing on June 23 at 2 o'clock. A Los Angeles paper which is reprinting news from its issues of forty years ago, on Tuesday contained the following item, dated June 20, 1876: "Born, to the wife of Gustave Reiser of Anaheim, on June 16, a son; to the wife of N. H. Mitchell of Anaheim, on June 17, a son." How many persons now living in Anaheim remember these interesting events. and bidding farewell to the school.

It is the custom for each class in passing to leave a memorial, which is set up on the campus suitably inscribed, and preserved by future students. The class of 1915 put up the two ornamental lights in front of the auditorium. The class of 1916, through its president, Percy Swope, presented the school with a beautiful bronze sundial. It was accepted on behalf of the school by Conrad Schneider, president of the student body, with appropriate remarks. Dr. E. W. Hauck, the principal then made a short address to the class and the school. This is the last time he will be heard here in the same capacity, as he passes out with the class, having accepted the principalship of the Fullerton high school. Dr. Hauck's address was full of good advice, and in closing he said: "Members of the graduating class: this is an hour of conflicting emotions. It is a time of ending and also it is a time of beginning. It is a time for laying off old burdens and marks the taking on of new ones. It marks the breaking of old ties and the formation of new ones. Many of the daily companionships will be lost and new associations will be formed. The old intimate friendships may lose their fervor but new vigorous ones will come in their place. Much is being taken from you that much may come to you. "Today as you step out into the ocean of life you cannot know what shores it washes. You cannot know what lies beyond the horizon. You can only look boldly out determined GRZETTE.

You cannot expect to avoid life's disappointments, tribulations and failures. But you can turn from its disappointments with greater courage, you can come out of its tribulations with greater human sympathy, you can rise from its failures with a greater strength. And thus going on to the end of the journey, be prepared to receive and understand its rewards. "Partly because of what you have done during the last four years of your school life, but mostly because of our confidence that you will live honestly and generously, doing more than your share of life's work, the faculty and board of trustees of the Anaheim union high school will now confer upon you diplomas of graduation." E. E. Angell, president of the board, then presented the diplomas to the forty-one graduates. Thus the class of 1916 passes into history and with it the principal who has labored so well and faithfully with it during the past three years. The juniors of 1916 will step into the shoes of the seniors next year, and Prof. C. R. Prince takes the place of Dr. Hauck as principal. The new seniors are: Wesley Hein, Conrad Schneider, Ernest Heying, Leslie Abbott, Winifred Adland, Lela Barfoot, Ruth Grim, Jessie Boyd, Leon Dahn, Foster Chambers, Mattle Welch, Clarence Wittmer, Hazel Waldler, Joseph Stroka, Ursula North, Eliza- ANAHEIM ASSISTS IN SANTA ANA PARADE MANY FLOATS AND AUTOS FROM MOTHER COLONY IN PROCESSION AT FIESTA DE LUZ ANAHEIM BEEF AND PROVISION COMPANY REPRESENTED BY TWELVE UNIQUE RIGS Among the 25,000 people who participated in or witnessed the parade in the festival of light at Santa Ana on Thursday night, Anaheim and northern Orange county was well represented. Hundreds of decorated automobiles, bearing their loads of men, women and children, left the city early in the evening, and for a couple of hours a constant stream from Fullerton, the oil wells and other points passed through. Some of them were artistically decorated, others bore only flags, and very few were unmarked. One float from Brea that passed through, carried a miniature drilling outfit.

M., to join his wife and family, who had preceded him thither some months before, writes E. H. Adams that his little stepson Rufus, aged 7, died at that point some weeks ago. Mrs. Sopha died in childbirth a few days following her husband’s arrival in Taft, and the infant child also passed away. Mr. Sopha has two step daughters, Ruby and Jessie, aged 5 and 3 years respectively, and a little son, “Mutt,” aged about two years. He is at present at Dawson, N. M., with his little boy, and writes that he contemplates returning to this city with his child in the near future. His two little girls will remain with their grandparents at Taft. His cup of grief is filled to the brim, and his many friends hereabout feel deepest sorrow for him in his great bereavement. Rufus was a lad far beyond his years in experience, and made many friends during his residence here. His death causes unfeigned sorrow among his little associates as well as grownups who knew him. May the little boy rest in peace beside loved ones gone before. FAVOR $20,000,000 FOR SICK IN- Hundreds of decorated automobiles, bearing their loads of men, women and children, left the city early in the evening, and for a couple of hours a constant stream from Fullerton, the oil wells and other points passed through. Some of them were artistically decorated, others bore only flags, and very few were unmarked. One float from Brea that passed through, carried a miniature drilling outfit. In the center was a fifteen foot derrick, with a pump attachment which was working furiously as the float passed down Los Angeles street. Anaheim was conspicuous in the parade. The division was led by the Anaheim city band. A decorated float carrying prominent city officials followed. It was built on a Cadillac, and in it sat Mayor Schneider, Trustees Brunworth, Stark, Cook and Dwyer, City Recorder Howard, City Attorney Ames, City Engineer Steward, City electrician Adams and Chief of Police Kellenberger. H. W. Braden was the driver. This float attracted much attention, the occupants making an imposing appearance each being covered by a tall silk hat. The float was labeled "City of Anaheim." This float was lighted by electricity. On each corner was a miniature production of the ornamental lights of Anaheim, which was exceedingly attractive and appropriate. These lights were made by E. H. Adams, the city electrician. The Valencia hotel was represented by an artistically decorated auto driven by Miss Elsie Ziegler. Mrs. Ziegler and a number of Anaheim’s fairest young ladies were the other occupants. H. O. Henderson and K. F. Koesel also drove decorated cars representing the automobile club of Orange county. The chief attractions from this end of the county were the twelve entrants of the Anaheim Beef & Provision company. Manager Reuther believes that if a thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing right, consequently he spared no pains or expense in advertising to the multitude that Orange county had an industry worth their patronage. Three of the rigs were unique inasmuch as they carried livestock. One contained a crate in which were six sheep, another was loaded with a number of hogs, and the third was loaded with two splendid fat beeves that were ripe for the slaughter. This live stock display was drawn by horses. In addition to this were three runabouts and six big floats FAVOR $20,000,000 FOR SICK INSURANCE The state social insurance commission reports in favor of public insurance against sickness. It estimates after a full investigation, that the 720,000 wage earners annually pay out $20,000,000 on account of sickness. By a state sickness insurance system, collecting 50 cents a week for each wage earner, drug bills, medical attendance and wages lost would be paid by the commission. If accidents, injuries, disabilities and death losses are made good by the industrial accident commission, why not a commission to reimburse still greater losses from sickness? The sickness insurance funds will be raised by an assessment of 20 cents a week on each of the 720,000 workers, 15 cents a week on the employer and 15 cents a week on the taxpayers for each of the wage earners in the state. The commission proposes free medical attendance and payment of 65 per cent of wages during term of sickness, or while off duty on account of sickness. The social insurance commission was created by the last legislature and money was appropriated to defray expense of making an investigation and report. Following Anaheim came an attractive float entered by the county forestry board. It represented a highway, and on each side were tiny trees showing the work done by the forestry board. The Fullerton trustees were also in line in a decorated car, and Garden Grove entered three floats representing the Citrus Growers' association, the Walnut association and the bean growers' association. Huntington Beach won first prize for the most attractive float. It represented a bevy of beautiful bathing girls playing ukeleles and singing. They were ranged around the lower deck of the big float, and on the upper deck were a number of young men wearing white sailor suits. All the towns in Orange county were represented in the parade, which was the biggest thing ever staged by Santa Ana. Half of Orange county, almost, responded to the city's invitation, and rejoiced with the county seat over the installation of their ornamental lighting system. O. W. Renner made a business trip to Los Angeles Tuesday.
