NEW NOTES OF COUNTY Declined the Test: Declaring that an empty Ford car could not be driven over North Main street in Santa Ana with safety at the rate of 36 miles an hour, because of the rough pavement, and inviting the jury to participate in a demonstration, William L. Beattie closed a plea for a verdict of not guilty in the city recorder's court at Santa Ana. Beattie is a driver for the Crown stage and on June 8 was arrested by City Speed Cop Cook for speeding. Beattie was out early in the morning of June 8. Cook was out early, too. The violation of the traffic ordinance took place at 5:30 in the morning. Evidence was given by Cook and County Speed Cops Roy Ballard and Roy Davenport. City Attorney Scott conducted the case for the city. Beattie had no attorney, but quizzed the witnesses and made his own plea in semi-professional style. The jury returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation for lenency and a sentence of $20 fine or ten days in jail was imposed by City Recorder Heathman. The convicted man went to jail, not having funds with which to pay the fine. Satisfactory Bean Crop: With the 19,000 acres of limas and the 500 acres of black-eyes on the San Joaquin ranch having developed a splendid growth, and the plants having begun to blossom well, growers are expecting to harvest a satisfactory crop this season. Despite a considerable amount of foggy and cloudy weather lately, conditions for the growth of the bean plants have been fairly favorable and all indications point to a good year. A period of mild sunshine appears to have arrived, and this will glass from Belgium and Germany has been shut off by the war, prices have gone sky-high, and there is much more profit in the business than formerly, the big business houses in the east having more orders than they can fill, and the local plant will not have to go up against the cut-throat competition that formerly existed. Mr. Branagan says that in San Diego county there are deposits of potash, silicate, soda ash and other glass making materials that are not excelled anywhere, and that on account of perfect weather conditions here a factory can be operated every day in the year. A good payroll is the one thing that makes a good town and is the element that has been lacking in this city, from a business standpoint. Cannon for Brea School: When the 2-story Randolph grammar school was built in 1911, it was thought that there would be room enough for all the students who would come into the district within the next ten years. But Brea as a town has progressed rapidly, and the attendance at school has not lagged behind the general advance. Instead of the two teachers of three years ago, there are now six. The new $65,000 school house is nearly completed. It is a handsome, red tile building, containing ten class rooms and an auditorium. This last has a seating capacity for 500. The plans have also been drawn for an addition to the kindergarten. In making the campus more ornamental, the trustees have petitioned the United States war department to donate the school two cannon and forty cannon balls which shall be appropriately mounted in a prominent spot on the campus. It is the custom of the government to give discarded cannon to public institutions asking for them, and a number of schools have made the necessary request, thus obtaining without cost unique souvenirs.

Despite a considerable amount of foggy and cloudy weather lately, conditions for the growth of the bean plants have been fairly favorable and all indications point to a good year. A period of mild sunshine weather appears to have arrived, and this will tend to accelerate the growth of the plants. Exceptionally hot weather coming between now and harvest is about all that is dreaded by the growers. No crop in past years ever has looked better than the present one. The plants are in thriving condition. The absence of late spring rains has not made as much moisture as the bean men would have liked, but if very hot weather does not set in a good crop will be harvested. Indications are that prices will be good. At present, owing to the placing of large orders by the government for use of the army, dried bean prices are soaring and growers are confident that the high level will be maintained. Stanton Objects: P. A. Stanton has filed an objection to the formation of the United Protection District upon the ground that it does not include the lowlands about Westminster. He states that if the boundaries of the district are enlarged to include these lands that he says ought to be in the district, he will withdraw his objection. He also has filed an objection to including land owned by him in the Fullerton-Orange-thorpe Protection district. He states that his land in that proposed district is not affected by river overflow. August Wipperman of Pomona has written a letter protesting against the formation of the United Protection district. Prepare for Big Output: Work of remodeling has commenced at the Placentia cannery in preparation for a heavy tomato pack beginning as soon as the raw product is ready, probably in the early part of September, judging from present indications. The boiler, located between the warehouse and cannery proper, is being moved out and reset adjoining the large one, at sufficient distance from the buildings to insure a reduction to the kindergarten. In making the campus more ornamental, the trustees have petitioned the United States war department to donate the school two cannon and forty cannon balls which shall be appropriately mounted in a prominent spot on the campus. It is the custom of the government to give discarded cannon to public institutions asking for them, and a number of schools have made the necessary request, thus obtaining without cost unique souvenirs which serve well as ornaments. A plan is on foot to organize a company of boy scouts at the grammar school this coming term. One of the teachers will have charge of the drilling and will instruct the boys in the duties of the Boy Scouts of America. Last Lap of Road: Men at work under the county highway commission are on the last lap of the commission's work. They are surfacing the roads built by the commission that have not already been surfaced. The road between El Toro and the state highway was surfaced with crushed rock and oil last week, and the first of this week Newport road east of the Santa Ana Sugar company factory was resurfaced. At the present time the surfacing crew is at work upon the group of paved roads at Tustin. It will go from there to the three remaining pavements built by the commission, the Santiago boulevard, which runs between El Modena and Olive, Hiatt street at La Habra and the Yorba Linda road. Pavement in the Santa Ana canyon from Olive to Peralta was built under the direction of the Board of Supervisors, not under the direction of the county highway commission. It may be decided to have surfacing on that road placed by the commission's surfacing department before the commission goes out of existence. Recently the commission stated to the board of supervisors that it was ready to retire and leave the surfacing and other remaining work of the highway department to the board of supervisors. However, the law is such that the commission cannot go out of existence until its work is finished.

The question of Prepare for Big Output:— Work of remodeling has commenced at the Placentia cannery in preparation for a heavy tomato pack beginning as soon as the raw product is ready, probably in the early part of September, judging from present indications. The boiler, located between the warehouse and cannery proper, is being moved out and reset adjoining the large one, at sufficient distance from the buildings to insure a reduced rate of insurance, and also allow proper connections in which either one, or both may be used, as required. Parties were at Placentia last week making plans for adding a vacu-dehydrator to the plant, for the purpose of evaporating fruits and vegetables, with which the plant would be able to run continuously, but nothing definite has been decided upon as yet. In this connection, if possible to consolidate, it is stated a good sized pay roll would be in evidence and of great help not only to Placentia people but to the farmer and fruit raisers in the immediate vicinity, who would share in the operation by furnishing the raw product. It is an assured fact that dehydrated products are in great demand, Uncle Sam himself being unable to get a mouthful as compared to his wants, and which, owing to saving in freight make it possible to ship the finished goods to points where the canned stuff would be out of the question. Glass Factory Will Open:— After having been frozen out of the glass factory two years ago at Newport, J. B. Branagan has come back strong, and the people are pulling hard for him to make a big success out of the plant, which he will re-open as soon as possible. Since the supply of ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1916 The Fallacy of Paraffine Base: Eastern oil manufacturers have long extolled the superior virtues of paraffine-base motor oils. But Pacific Coast motorists have proved that Zerolene, made from selected California crude, asphalt-base, gave best results. Their experience is now supported by the testimony of international experts. Lieut. Bryan stated before the Am.Soc.of Naval Engineers: "Oils made from the asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon-forming proclivities are concerned, than are paraffine-base Pennsylvania oils." Zerolene received highest competitive awards, San Francisco and San Diego Expositions. Dealers everywhere and at service stations and agencies of the Standard Oil Company. ZEROLENE the Standard Oil for Motor Cars this county when Samuel Kraemer of Placentia, pioneer of that section, brought suit against Mrs. Johnson and half a dozen other persons and several corporations to quiet title to property that he paid for and has held for thirty-five or forty years. Mrs. Johnson filed an answer in which she administration leaders in congress find little consolation in a review of election figures in the so-called doubtful states. With republicans and progressives united and working in harmony, it is little wonder they view the outlook with despair. The combined votes of these two parties The New Grand theatre was packed to the doors Sunday night to witness the "Battle Cry of Peace," a powerful drama taken from Hudson Maxim's book, "Defenseless America," and vividly told in nine reels, depicting the present possibilities of foreign invasion to this country. The picture opens with a lecture of Hudson Maxim and scenes depicting a foreign spy system in this country. A spectacular naval battle is shown, and the audience sees a flee sunk by a stronger fleet of dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, submarines, etc. The big guns of the New York fortifications open fire, while the aeroplanes of the enemy fly over that city. Bombs are dropped, devastating the most beautiful skyline in the world, and the inhabitants are plunged into a panic, with fires bursting forth in every section of the city. Banks are sacked, homes pillaged, while the population flees inland. Prominent citizens are captured and forced to face the enemy's firing squads. After devastation a vision of the Goddess of Liberty appears before the American people and an immense volunteer army is organized and the enemy driven out. The Battle Cry of ePace is a powerful realistic drama with a love romance. CARRIES CLAIM TO THE SUPERIOR COURT Claimant for Yorba Estate Still Fighting to Recover Property Mrs. Beatrice A. Yorba-Arnalz Johnson, who claims a 1-17 interest in what was once the estate of her grandfather, Bernardo Yorba, is to have the question of her right to reopen the estate taken to the supreme court of the state. Her contest involves valuable property in this county, as well as in other counties, and the question raised by her attempt to get letters upon the estate of her grandfather is also involved in a quiet title suit brought in this county. The decision of Judge Rivers in Los Angeles was directly against Mrs. Johnson. The question has not been passed upon here. The question of title was raised in this county when Samuel Kraemer of Placentia, pioneer of that section, brought suit against Mrs. Johnson and half a dozen other persons and several corporations to quiet title to property that he paid for and has held for thirty-five or forty years. Mrs. Johnson filed an answer in which she alleges that she is entitled to a 1-17 interest in the property, it being a part of what was the Yorba estate. The Orange county case is now ready to be set for trial. In Los Angeles Judge Rives handed down a decision recently that there was no need for further administration and denied Mrs. Johnson's petition for the appointment of an administrator. Don Bernardo Yorba, whose estate is involved in the litigation, died on November 20, 1858. His property at the time of his death included 162,000 acres lying in what is now the northeastern portion of Orange county, the southeastern corner of Los Angeles county, the southwestern corner of San Bernardino county and the western end of Riverside county. This property and the bands of horses, cattle and sheep that roamed upon it and the personal property was bequeathed by will to the widow and the seventeen sons and daughters. The property at that time was valued at $200,000. Three sons administered the estate until 1873, when they were discharged. Up to that time, it is declared, the legal heirs to the estate had not been ascertained. In 1893 another administrator was named by the probate court. He continued to act until 1903, when he died. It is the contention of Mrs. Johnson that the estate was not administered after this, and that no final account was ever rendered and that her father, Bernardo Yorba, Jr., never received his share of the property. On this ground she asked in Los Angeles that Thomas W. Wright be named as administrator to legally close the estate. According to Mrs. Johnson's attorneys—the share claimed by her is worth now not less than $17,-000,000. Following the filing of this petition last December three others were filed by heirs. Two of these supported the contention of Mrs. Johnson but objectionable. Administration leaders in congress find little consolation in a review of election figures in the so-called doubtful states. With republicans and progressives united and working in harmony, it is little wonder they view the outlook with despair. The combined votes of these two parties is enough to give democrats the cold shivers. For instance, in Indiana in 1912, the republican and progressive vote was 313,274, while the democratic vote was 281,890; in Illinois 640,011 against 405,048 democratic; in Ohio, 506,393 against 432,152 democratic; Michigan, 369,828 against 150,751 democratic; Minnesota 193,190 against 106,426 democratic; Nebraska 127,124 against 109,109 democratic; Iowa 281,-594, against 183,376 democratic; New York 845,440 against 655,476 democratic; New Jersey 234,245 against 178,-289 democratic.

Orange County Dry & Steam Cleaning Works On this ground she asked in Los Angeles that Thomas W. Wright be named as administrator to legally close the estate. According to Mrs. Johnson's attorneys the share claimed by her is worth now not less than $17,-000,000. Following the filing of this petition last December three others were filed by heirs. Two of these supported the contention of Mrs. Johnson but objected to her nominee as administrator. In the third petition it was asserted that the estate had been properly closed and that Bernardino Yorba, Jr., had transferred his interest to Thomas Bixby. In his ruling Judge Rives held that the debts of the estate had all been paid, that the accounts of the various administrators had been approved and allowed by the court, and that the residue had been apportioned and distributed in accordance with the terms of the will of Don Yorba. The way some of the leading democrats, most of them from the South, opposed aid to the families of soldiers who enlisted for service in Mexico, caused considerable unfavorable comment about the capitol. The fact that men prominent in that party in the senate succeeded in defeating the proposition occasioned no end of discussion. Many republicans have been heard to express the view that it is the duty of this nation to care for the wives and children of the soldiers. They say that it is cheaper than maintaining a great standing army and that the humane act is an encouragement to the volunteer to enlist. Dr. M. M.
