CLEAN-UP ORDER WILL SOON BE ISSUED OFFICIALS WILL TAKE PRECAUTIONARY STEPS TO PREVENT INVASION OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS DANGER IS REMOTE BUT IT IS DEEMED ADVISABLE TO BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY Preparedness against a possible invasion of infantile paralysis has been determined upon by the board of health of Anaheim of which Dr. J. W. Truxaw is the head. While extraordinary precautions are being taken to stamp out the epidemic in its incipiency, and while the possibility of its ever reaching California is remote, yet officials deem it wisdom to be prepared, and be in a condition to handle it in the best possible manner should it spread to the Pacific coast. Drastic steps will be taken for a tatives of the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads were on hand to assure the physicians of their companies' fullest cooperation in enforcing the quarantine at present in force against New York tourists. Announcement was made by Dr. Ebright that seven or eight district health officers are to be added to the Southern California force shortly, to assist the local men. MANY ATTRACTIONS AT NEW GRAND THEATRE List of Great Plays on for this Week, And More are Coming Theatre goers in the northern end of the county evidently appreciate the efforts of Manager Mozart of the New Grand to give them a show worthy of their patronage, judging by the crowds of people who nightly visit the house. The week began with "The Spollers" with William Farnum and Kathlyn Williams in the leading roles. This is a twelve-reel production, and one of the greatest shows on the screen. It was given Monday and Tuesday nights. Owing to its length the first show began at 6:30, and the last one ended at 11:30. The house was crowded at each production. Sixty autos were parked around the theatre Monday night and many were in attendance left their cars on the open. STERN MARSHAL RACE FOR SENIOR COOK, KELLENBROOK ENDORSED FOR COUNTY CELEBRITY MITTLE Gus Stern of Fremont announcement at Anaheim Republic evening, that in relicitation of many various parts of the considering the contest for nation as state senator district, which includes aside and Imperial Stern said that he definitely whether candidate, but off come to him from vasion of infantile paralysis has been determined upon by the board of health of Anaheim of which Dr. J. W. Truxaw is the head. While extraordinary precautions are being taken to stamp out the epidemic in its incipiency, and while the possibility of its ever reaching California is remote, yet officials deem it wisdom to be prepared, and be in a condition to handle it in the best possible manner should it spread to the Pacific coast. Drastic steps will be taken for a general clean-up in Anaheim. The board of health will ask the trustees for a more stringent ordinance covering the matter, and after its passage the city will be thoroughly combed, and anything of whatever nature that could have a deleterious effect on the public health will be removed and destroyed. The clean-up will be thorough, nothing or nobody being overlooked. War will be declared upon the fly, and all fly-breeding matter will be ordered removed. Stables, barn-wards, cow corrals, pigpens, hen houses, etc., must be cleaned of all offal. Manure piles, which are the chief breeding places of flies, will be ordered removed, and a prohibitive decree issued against them. The old abandoned out-door privies are to be condemned and the vaults filled up, and the council will be asked to decree that all property owners shall connect their houses with the sewer and destroy their outdoor privies and cess pools. The board of health and the officers will make a thorough inspection of the city, visiting all the houses and the back yards. Anything of an objectionable nature, no matter where it is located, will be ordered removed forthwith. While it is probable that the disease will be stamped out in the east before it spreads to any considerable extent, isolated cases are likely to break out thousands of miles from New York, by reason of the tourist travel at this season of the year. California, through its state, county and city officials, is taking extraordinary precautions to handle these possible cases, and prevent contagion from them, should any occur. Representatives of the state board of health, Southern California health officers, and many physicians from the Southland met in a conference at Los Angeles last Saturday for the purpose of discussing the question. County Physician A. H. Domann, and other Orange county medical men were present. The week began with "The Spoilers" with William Farnum and Kathlyn Williams in the leading roles. This is a twelve-reel production, and one of the greatest shows on the screen. It was given Monday and Tuesday nights. Owing to its length the first show began at 6:30, and the last one ended at 11:30. The house was crowded at each production. Sixty autos were parked around the theatre Monday night and many who were in attendance left their cars on the opposite side of the street. Last night the play was "A Million a Minute," by Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, two of the foremost stars in the profession, and tonight it will be reproduced. Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee Ella Hall will appear in "The Love Girl." Sunday night's attraction is "The Law Decides." Mr. Mozart has his films booked ahead, two months, and among them are the greatest plays being produced. Great plays coming from the east will be shown here simultaneously with their appearance in Los Angeles. People who have been in the habit of making weekly trips to Los Angeles to see these high class plays now remain at home and see them at the Grand. Thus they avoid the inconvenience of a night trip, and see the same pictures, and see them much cheaper. Among the great plays that will be shown shortly are "The Fall of a Nation," "Ben Hur," and many others. Mr. Mozart will have nothing but the best pictures obtainable, and he will not consider anything of a questionable character, or that does not measure up to first-class. Recently a vaudeville troop tried to bargain with him for a date but he turned the offer down promptly. He declares the Grand shall be run in such a manner that patrons will see a first class production no matter when they visit the house. The Grand has always had a good house since its opening, and it is nearly always full, people coming from all over the northern part of the county. Manager Mozart says the popularity of the house is due to the fact that he advertises in the papers, thereby letting the people know what he has to offer them. Saturday afternoon matinees are drawing great crowds, especially of ladies. WALLOP ENJOYING HIMSELF Billy Wallop writes from Yosemite that he and his party are having a Anaheim Republican evening, that in relicitation of many various parts of the considering the contest for consideration as state senate district, which includesside and Imperial Stern said that he definitely whether he can come to him from friends that he had serious considerations.

A meeting of the publican club will ton early next week Stern decide to be for senator he will the enthusiastic suplization. The Anaheim will continue its city officials, is taking extraordinary percautions to handle these possible cases, and prevent contagion from them, should any occur. Representatives of the state board of health, Southern California health officers, and many physicians from the Southland met in a conference at Los Angeles last Saturday for the purpose of discussing the question. County Physician A. H. Domann, and other Orange county medical men were present. Dr. George E. Ebling, president of the state board of health presided, and opened the discussion by stating that the proper time to cope with an epidemic is before it begins. That the state thus far this summer has proved nearly immune from the disease was announced at the meeting, but it was the opinion of the physicians that every precaution should be taken to guard against possible inroads of the trouble. A resolution introduced by Dr. Le Moyne Willis was unanimously adopted. "It is the consensus of opinion of the health officers of Southern California," read the resolution, "that the supervisors and councils and other governing bodies throughout Southern California insist on a general clean-up in their jurisdictions as a matter of preparedness, and that a publicity campaign should be begun so that the public may know what is being done and see to it that all health officers have whatever help and means are necessary to meet any and all emergencies." Every health officer and city clerk in Southern California will receive a copy of the document. That the officers of this section will receive the fullest cooperation of the state board of health was asserted by Dr. Ebright, who emphasized the importance of reporting cases within 24 hours, regardless of adverse criticism. Represen- from all over the northern part of the county. Manager Mozart says the popularity of the house is due to the fact that he advertises in the papers, thereby letting the people know what he has to offer them. Saturday afternoon matinees are drawing great crowds, especially of ladies. WALLOP ENJOYING HIMSELF Billy Wallop writes from Yosemite that he and his party are having a splendid time and are catching many fish. He says: "We arrived here on Saturday morning after an enjoyable trip. Caught a fine bunch of trout. This is sure some camp and is well worth the trip." A. T. Pendleton and family, who have returned from the north report having met the Wallop party on the Tehechtiapi. All was well and they were enjoying the trip. Capt. J. L. McBride of Company L, Seventh regiment, is in danger of being discharged from the service and sent home. It is not because of incapacity, either mental or physical, nor because he desires to leave the service, but because it has been discovered that he tips the beam a little below the regulation weight. The boys of the company have sent S. O. S. messages to Senator Works and Congressman Kettner imploring them to intercede with the powers at Washington to prevent his discharge. A purse containing $9000 and two railroad tickets, bearing the names of James Huper and Mrs. James Huper and reading from Green Bay, Wis., to Anaheim, was found by Deputy Sheriff Joe Sepulveda one night recently on the Southern Pacific Coaster train near San Luis Obispo. The purse and money have been turned over to the railroad company officials. A meeting of the publican club will tonight early next week.

Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 20 1916 STERN MAY ENTER RACE FOR STATE SENATOR ANNOUNCEMENT BRINGS OFFERS OF SUPPORT FROM REPUBLICANS AT CLUB MEETING COOK, KELLENBERGER AND FAY ENDORSED FOR MEMBERS OF COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE Gus Stern of Fullerton, made the announcement at the meeting of the Anaheim Republican Club on Monday evening, that in response to the solicitation of many of his friends in various parts of the county, he was considering the advisability of entering the contest for the republican nomination as state senator from the 39th district, which includes Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties. Mr. Stern said that he had not determined definitely whether or not to become a candidate, but offers of support had come to him from so many of his township. The newly organized township comprising Brea and Olinda and the township of Buena Park and Cypress will have no representative upon the central committee, for the reason that the number of committeemen is not sufficient go round. Some dissatisfaction has been expressed in both these latter townships over the matter, but it was pointed out that the fault lies at the door of the new primary law, which limits the number of central committee members in the county to 22. In former years each precinct in the county selected one central committeeman. If this plan were followed under the new law the committee would consist of 105 members, and the third district would have 35. Framers of the new law considered this would make an unwieldy committee, and the number was cut to the lower figure. J. S. Howard said that he desired to make a personal statement to the club. He said that on Friday last J. W. Duckworth had asked him to attend the meeting of the county central committee on Saturday as his proxy. He had known that Mr. Duckworth had resigned as chairman of the committee, but was not aware of the fact that he had resigned his membership in the committee. Mr. Duckworth had asked him to represent him because he had lately been in poor health. He said that the committee had elected him a cost of energy under Edison system. STATEMENT FOR JUNE SHOWS $11 PER DAY INCREASE OVER AVERAGE FOR YEAR RETRENCHMENT OR HIGHER RATE MAY BE NECESSARY TO PREVENT DEFICIT Much dissatisfaction was expressed after the rendering of its first bill to the city by the Southern California Edison company for electricity supplied, and that dissatisfaction has not diminished since the statements for May and June have been presented. The first bill was for only a fraction of a month, but it showed the average cost of furnishing the people light and power through the Edison company was $13.22 per day more than it cost the city to manufacture it in its own plant. It was hoped, however, that time would justify the expectations of the true consumer of the city, the profit paying money during has turned to $67,000 year. A year 1914 from 10 withstanding one-third the year handsomer sum wi to another juice, be glimmer he escaped and then the juice the city sum squared person the power present. The item we ago the lighting to the lighting instead another Anaheim Republican Club on Monday evening, that in response to the solicitation of many of his friends in various parts of the county, he was considering the advisability of entering the contest for the republican nomination as state senator from the 39th district, which includes Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties. Mr. Stern said that he had not determined definitively whether or not to become a candidate, but offers of support have come to him from so many of his friends that he had the matter under serious consideration. "Of course," he said, "the chances are nine to one that I will not become a candidate, but if I do I shall certainly make a canvass of the three counties of the district in order to secure the nomination. I have received many assurances of support in the northern portion of the county, as well as at Santa Ana. In some quarters I have been told that the candidate for senator in this district must be dry, and if that is the case, I am out of it." Mr. Stern's announcement came at conclusion of a lengthy statement by him in support of a strong central republican club in the northern portion of this county, which should wield sufficient influence to procure recognition from other portions of the county for candidates for office in this section. Following his remarks E. N. Cook moved that Mr. Stern be appointed a committee of one for arranging a meeting to be held at Fullerton early next week for the purpose of forming a strong republican club in this portion of the county. Mr. Stern replied that he would be pleased to take up the work, saying he felt certain it would result to the political advantage of this district. He added that recently a number of republicans have asked him to enter the contest for senatorial honors, and that he now has the matter under consideration. Offers of support came to him from many members of the club during and after the meeting. These gentlemen felt that should Mr. Stern enter the contest he would make a strong campaign, and should he be elected for the office he would make a worthy representative of this district. A meeting of the proposed new republican club will be held at Fullerton early next week, and should Mr. Stern decide to become a candidate for senator he will doubtless receive the enthusiastic support of that organization. The Anaheim Republican club will continue its organization as at The city company for electricity supplied, and that dissatisfaction has not diminished since the statements for May and June have been presented. The first bill was for only a fraction of a month, but it showed the average cost of furnishing the people light and power through the Edison company was $13.22 per day more than it cost the city to manufacture it in its own plant. It was hoped, however, that time would justify the expectations of the trustees and this discrepancy disappear, but two months have passed and this hope has not been realized. The bill for the June service has been rendered and it indicates that the first statement was only an average. It also shows that the trustees were stung in accepting the oft reiterated statements of the corporation's representatives that they would furnish juice much cheaper than the city could manufacture it. The Edison company's bill for the month of June was $857.93. The gas bill at the power house was $73.36, making the total cost to the city of supplying its customers with electricity during the month $931.29, exclusive of the salaries paid employees at the power house. This was an average of $31.04 per day, whereas the average cost to the city while it was manufacturing its own electricity, was $20.55 per day. In connection with this fact must also be taken into consideration that the consumption of electricity is smaller in the month of June than any other of the twelve months, as that month gives us the thirty longest days and shortest night, when the use of electricity is at the minimum. Gradually the consumption for lighting purposes will increase from this date until the 21st of December, the year's shortest day. Throughout the short winter days the lights will burn two hours longer at nights, and from one to two hours in the morning. It is a conservative estimate to place the average consumption throughout the twelve months at 50 per cent greater than the average for the month of June. This will bring the total average cost for the year to $46.50 per day, or 130 per cent more than the average for the year ending April 1, when it was $20.55. According to this estimate the total cost to the city of furnishing its customers with electricity during the year beginning April 1 will be close to $17,000, whereas for the year ending April 1, it was less than $7500. Mrs. H. Mrs. H. sprung suit for Hugh Riding in her dull maxim in getting husband on or with the Los Angeles trained at Wood, an Anaheim instantly. H.R. a year ago Los Angeles promised Los Angeles of the people felt that should Mr. Stern enter the contest he would make a strong campaign, and should he be elected for the office he would make a worthy representative of this district. A meeting of the proposed new republican club will be held at Fullerton early next week, and should Mr. Stern decide to become a candidate for senator he will doubtless receive the enthusiastic support of that organization. The Anaheim Republican club will continue its organization as at present, but its members will join the central organization with a view to organizing a strong central republican club in the third supervisor district. The matter of inviting R. C. Harbison, republican candidate for congress, and J. C. Burke, candidate for the assembly, to address a meeting here in the near future, was taken up and discussed and it was the consensus of opinion that these gentlemen should be invited to address the proposed republican organization in the near future. In the absence of F. C. Krause, president of the club, vice president J. H. Enarl presided and Frank Davis acted as secretary, in the absence of Secretary Parker. A large attendance was present, and the meeting was one of the most interesting ever held by the organization. R. J. McFadden moved that E. N. Cook, John Kellenberger and J. A. Fay be endorsed by the club as members of the county central committee from Anaheim township. The motion received several seconds, and was unanimously adopted. Petitions for these candidates were later submitted for signatures, and all those present signed them. The new county central committee will be composed of 22 members. The third supervisor district is given 6, of which 3 are allotted to Anahelm, 2 to Fullerton township, and 1 to Placentia county. He here stated that he had for some time past received assurances of support for the senatorship from the 39th district, saying that the people of Fullerton, as well as other sections of the county, and promised their support in the event of his entering the race. He was pledged the support of many members of the club, who recognize in him one of the leading merchants of the county, and a man who if elected would ably represent the district at Sacramento. E. N. Cook made a report of the action of the Orange county delegation to the congressional convention at San Diego, saying that the delegation had stood solidly in support of L. A. West for 14 ballots. When it was seen that Mr. West's nomination was improbable, the delegation swung its support to Harbison on the 15th ballot, and that gentleman's nomination followed. He spoke in approval of the action of the delegations, saying it was earnest in its support of the Orange county candidate, and it was not until the 15th ballot, after standing loyally by Mr. West, that the delegation led the break to Harbison. Mr. Stern said he was quite dissatisfied with the action of the delegation at San Diego. He was a member of the delegation which he said acted like a flock of sheep. He had asked the delegation to give a complimentary vote to C. C. Chapman for congress, but it had refused to do so. Mr. Cook took exceptions to the statement that the delegates were like a flock of sheep and declared the delegation was a potent influence in the convention. The monthly report of the county highway commission shows $3,649.33 expended in June There remains $9,140.03 in the highway fund. The total receipts of the commission since it was organized was $1,393,700. the twelve months at 50 per cent greater than the average for the month of June. This will bring the total average cost for the year to $46.50 per day, or 130 per cent more than the average for the year ending April 1, when it was $20.55. According to this estimate the total cost to the city of furnishing its customers with electricity during the year beginning April 1 will be close to $17,000, whereas for the year ending April 1, it was less than $7500. Of course they is a gradual increase in the number of consumers and the amount of electricity used, but these figures are based on the number at present on the rolls. The Edison company's representatives while negotiating with the trustees, claimed the company would save the city $400 per month, if the trustees would discontinue the manufacture and enter into a contract with the corporation. That surplus would be augmented as the number of consumers increased, they declared, and they presented their figures so convincingly that not only the trustees but many other citizens believed it would be an economical move to cease making our own juice and purchase it from the corporation. It is now up to the company to explain why the shortest month of the year in the matter of electrical consumption, is $300 greater than the average for the entire year previous to that corporations furnishing the supply. There is a discrepancy of $700 a month between the promises made by the company in February and the statements rendered by it in June. The people who pay these bills would like to know where the cog slipped, or, in other words, why the monthly statements do not correspond with the pre-contract promises. The city power plant was constructed for the purpose of giving the citizens of Anaheim electricity at the actual cost of manufacturing, but owing ENERGY EDISON EM JUNE SHOWS $11 LEASE OVER FOR YEAR OR HIGHER NECESSARY DEFICIT was expressed of its first bill to own California Edlectricity supplied, ion has not distemments for May presented. The a fraction of a the average cost light and powon company was than it cost the in its own plant. that time would of the true to the rapid increase in the number of consumers it always yielded a profit to the city. Nobody objected to this as the profit belonged to the citizens and paying it was the same as shifting money from one pocket to the other. During the past ten years the plant has turned into the treasury a surplus of $87,000, or an average of $6,700 per year. At the beginning of the fiscal year 1915-1916 a reduction in the rate from 10 to 7 cents was made, but notwithstanding this reduction which lowering the cost to the consumer nearly one-third, the surplus at the end of the year was $8561.54. With this handsome profit to his credit the consumer was justified in looking forward to another reduction in the price of juice, but that prospect has gone aglimmering. He will be fortunate if he escapes an incerase. That surplus and the $7500 it cost to manufacture the juice represents the bills paid by the city's customers, and if the total sum squares accounts with the Edison people and pays the expenses at the power house during the fiscal year present indications are misleading. The cost of street lights, also, is an item worthy of mention. Two years ago the city paid itself $2431.80 for lighting its streets. Last year owing to the installation of the ornamental lighting system, the cost was $4138.80. Instead of paying this from one into another of its own machines it will go AWARD WERDIN EAST BOWY PAVING CONTRAGT WEST BROADWAY AND INTERSECTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED AT NEXT REGULAR MEETING CITY TRUSTEES ACCEPT ASSOCIATED OIL CO.

FORMER ANAHEIM LADY DEMANDS A DIVORCE Mrs. H. R. Wood Asks Separation From Her Talented Husband Mrs. Eliza Louise Marian Wood has sprung into prominence by bringing suit for divorce against her husband, Hugh Rignald Wood, and philosophizing in the hearing of reporters about the duties of a husband. One of her maxims is that unless a wife succeeds in getting all his money away from her husband he will spend it on other women, or words to that effect. One of the Los Angeles papers Tuesday contained a two-column picture of Mrs. Wood, and it was so perfect that her Anaheim acquaintances recognized it instantly. H. R. Wood is a sign painter who a year ago conducted a shop on North Los Angeles street. He broke into prominence by breaking into jail in Los Angeles, and then breaking out on Thursday night. Low bids were received for Broadway paving, three thousand barrels of road oil was purchased, sidewalks and curbing were ordered in upon many streets, the police force were furnished uniforms, salaries of engineers were reduced, and many matters of a routine nature were attended to. There were present Mayor Schneider Trustees Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer. Absent, Trustee Stark. Bids for paving East and West Broadway were received as follows: Coast Construction Co.—East Broadway and intersections, 11 cents per foot. West Broadway and intersections, 11c. S. C. Construction Co.—East Broadway and intersections, 10.68 cents per foot. West Broadway and intersections, 10.68 cents. George R. Curtis—Bid 11 cents per foot for each street, and 11c for intersections. His former bid submitted some months ago, was 10 3-4 cents. Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton Co.—East and West Broadway and intersections, 15¼ cents for each. Tyran & Brain—Bid 11.07 cents straight per foot. Orange County Engineering and Construction Co.-Bid 11.95 per foot straight for each street and intersection. L. A. Paving Co.—East Broadway, 10.24 cents per foot, intersections on same, 10 cents. West Broadway and intersections 10/74 cents per foot each. The contract for East Broadway paving was let to the L. A. Paving Co. The bid of the S. C. Construction Co. for 10.68 for West Broadway was the lowest, but the board deferred action until a special meeting to be held Monday, July 24, to allow time to investigate standing of the company. The awards of contract for paving intersections of East Broadway and West Broadway and its intersections were postponed to the next regular meeting. Contract for furnishing the city 3000 barrels of road oil was awarded to the Associated Oil company, at $1.05 f. o. b. Anaheim. Other bids were: National Oil Co., $1.25, f. o. b. Los Angeles, Prescott Refining Co., $1.07, Anaheim; Union Oil Co./95 cents; Los Angeles; Pinal Dome, $1.30 f. o. b. Anaheim, Tarr & McComb, $1.14, Anaheim. Engineer Steward submitted a map showing lines for curbing and parts of sidewalks upon the following streets, 50 per cent greater for the month of the total average 6.50 per day, or on the average for 1, when it was this estimate the amount furnishing its utility during the 1 will be close for the year endless than $7500.

It was construct of giving the citi-ricity at the ac-curing, but owing A large number of gentlemen met at the Valencia Cafe on Thursday noon and together partook of the business men's lunch, which Messrs Lehman and Osmun are making so popular at their establishment. The cuisine was excellent and the cafe is continually growing into favor with the citizens of this city. H. R. Wood is a sign painter who a year ago conducted a shop on North Los Angeles street. He broke into prominence by breaking into jail in Los Angeles, and then breaking out by decorating the walls of Mayor Sebastian's office with landscapes and artistic designs. He is an artist of rare ability, and he covered the four walls and the ceiling of that office with beautiful scenery. No public office in the United States can boast such beautiful mural decorations as Mayor Sebastian's office. While at work the mayor, in order to conceal the identity of the prisoner, introduced him to visitors as Timothy Jones, and Timothy Jones is credited with the beautiful work on the walls of his honor's office. In her suit for divorce Mrs. Wood charges her husband with failure to provide, and one of her warning to married women is that a wife should never permit her husband to learn of her ability to support herself. She also says that she was too patient in the beginning, and only learned when too late that it is a wife's duty to force her husband to spend his surplus money on his better half. Young married women should commit this to memory or paste it in their hats. Mr. Tobin and others petitioned to have curbing and sidewalks laid on Cypress, between Olive and Sabina, and also on sections of Olive and Adele. The engineer was instructed to furnish them the lines. A communication, accompanied by check for $50, was received from Fred Continued on Page 2
