BOOTH ENDORSED FOR SENATE BY REPUBLICANS STATE AND COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEEMEN UNANIMOUS FOR LOS ANGELES MAN GOVERNOR JOHNSON DENOUNCED AS AN ENEMY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY More than 1200 of the leading republicans of California, members of the state and county central committees, either in person or by proxy, endorsed the candidacy of Willis H. Booth for the United States senatorship at a conference in the Palace hotel, San Francisco, Saturday. Nearly every committeeman in the state either attended or was represented, and not a single vote was cast against the resolution endorsing Booth, not a single voice was raised in advocacy of any other candidate. The convention was called by State Chairman Francis V. Keesling for the purpose of uniting the republicans of the state upon one candidate. Fifty-three of the fifty-eight counties responded to the call and sent representatives. More than 500 men and women were present in person and they carried 712 proxies from the committee who could not attend. Orange county was represented by Chairman Walter Eden of the central committee, J. S. Perry and W. F. Menton of Santa Ana, Gus Stern of Fullerton and Supervisor William Schumacher. They prospects of national republican success should be marred by a threatened defeat in the state. California urgently needs republican senators and congressmen at the national capital, and to do our part in meeting this need is the duty of the hour; "Whereas, to elect Mr. Johnson would involve a manifestly unfair assignment of both United States senators to the northern portion of the state. Even worse than that—it would send to Washington, as a representative of the republican party, a man who cannot qualify as such under any stretch of the imagination or by any recognized moral precept; "Be it resolved, with no apologies for the action, and having in mind solely the welfare of the state and nation, we earnestly urge every true republican to give his or her support, in both primaries and general election to a man who, tried by every moral and mental test and measured by every praiseworthy political standard, is eminently fitted to represent this great commonwealth in the senate of the United States—Willis H. Booth." A demonstration followed for Booth, and that gentleman appeared, delivering a short pointed address: "This hour has made history in the state of California," he said. "It has served to voice, not only to this state, but to this nation, that political integrity wherever it may be found is worth fighting for by honest people. "You have clearly and positively eliminated all elements of personality in the campaign which we have before us and you have brought it down to the real principles which we know to be at stake, the principles for which this canvass must be made up and down this state, carrying a message to the north and south, that it cannot be possible in this great commonwealth, and in a state like the state of California, that an individual can prostitute a party and destroy it for public good. Coming from you as representative of the people who have elected you representative as you are of that people and party, you have a right to speak and you have. It is a magnificent right we are going to make. It is going to call for all our strength, for blood and brawn, but thank God the right is always right and right will al- purpose of uniting the republicans of the state upon one candidate. Fifty-three of the fifty-eight counties responded to the call and sent representatives. More than 500 men and women were present in person and they carried 712 proxies from the committee who could not attend. Orange county was represented by Chairman Walter Eden of the central committee, J. S. Perry and W. F. Menton of Santa Ana, Gus Stern of Fullerton and Supervisor William Schumacher. They went up with the Southern California delegation, more than a hundred strong, and were met at the depot by a committee with decorated autos and escorted to the Palace. In his address opening the conference, Chairman Keesling said: "This assemblage is not an official gathering. Those who have opposed this conference have proved it to be unofficial, as it was intended to be, and in so doing they have performed a public service. You who are assembled here today are confronted with as serious an attack on party as you were when you were fighting the non-partisan primary law. The possibility that the candidate of another party which claims his loyalty may receive the indorsement of the republican party is as subversive of the principles of party government as the proposed nonpartisan primary law. It cannot be conceived that one who is not a republican will consistently represent the republican party because he cannot serve two masters. One who seeks the nomination of the parties radically differing in principle, is not a supporter of principles. He is a job-chaser. How can a republican represent the Democratic party?" Frank Roberts of Long Beach, made a short talk scoring the state progressive machine for its Tammany methods and introduced the following resolution which was enthusiastically endorsed: "Whereas, members of the state central committee and of the various county committees, constituting the legal governing bodies of the republican party, in convention assembled, present for the serious consideration of the voters the following statement of facts relating to political conditions in the state: "Whereas, while past factional strife and contention within the party has been dissipated in a national sense, we find that locally a studied and determined purpose is manifest to keep alive an organization which in the past brought defeat to the republican party in both state and nation and visited untold disaster and humiliation upon our people. This faction now seeks to force upon the republican party a candidate for United States Senator who is not a member of that party, but is registered with, and avowed, belongs to this canvass must be made up and down this state, carrying a message to the north and south, that it cannot be possible in this great commonwealth, and in a state like the state of California, that an individual can prostitute a party and destroy it for public good. Coming from you as representative of the people who have elected you representative as you are of that people and party, you have a right to speak and you have. It is a magnificent right we are going to make. It is going to call for all our strength, for blood and brawn, but thank God the right is always right, and right will always prevail against every attack. "We are going united into this fight, you and I, and all those hundreds of thousands of republicans who have rallied with us here. We have struggled for this, we are going to the struggle shoulder and shoulder to the end that the party element which is the basic principle of republican government, shall not perish from this state." Neither Judge Bordwell nor Governor Johnson were present. Bordwell sent a letter denying the legality of the convention, and refusing to be bound by its actions. Johnson sent thirty of forty of his henchmen, but when they perceived that the governor was an Ishmaelite in that assembly they sneaked away. Mr. Booth generously asked the clemency of the republicans in passing judgment on his opponent, Judge Bordwell. He said: "In closing I speak to a question of personal privilege. I have no thought if injecting into this magnificent action one single note of an untoward character but I do wish as a question of personal privilege to ask you, my friends and my associates of the hour before us, just one consideration. What I have to say weighs heavily upon my heart. The responsibilities of the last few weeks, great as they have been, have weighed heavily upon the hearts and consciences of us all. I have had an opponent. We have had an opponent in our own party and from my own city in this campaign, an opponent who is a magnificent man and a friend of a lifetime to me. Differing as I do with him in the policy which has actuated him at this time, separated as our objects and motives no doubt have been, I still cannot, in the proper recognition of a lifetime of close association, allow myself in these trying hours to impugn the motive or intent of my friend, and I ask you in going before the people of this state just to exercise towards the situation the same calm, quiet and Christian-like charity which all of us would like to have exercised towards us under similar circumstances." ANAHEIM PEOPLE SEE WONDERS OF YOSEMITE Camp at Foot of Great Falls, Four Thousand Feet Above the Sea "Whereas, while past factional strife and contention within the party has been dissipated in a national sense, we find that locally a studied and determined purpose is manifest to keep alive an organization which in the past brought defeat to the republican party in both state and nation and visited untold disaster and humiliation upon our people. This faction now seeks to force upon the republican party a candidate for United States Senator who is not a member of that party, but is registered with, and avowedly belongs to, another political organization. He not only declares his membership in that organization, but publicly states it to be his purpose to keep alive this antagonistic faction as a distinct and permanent factor in the political equation; Whereas, the condition thus created might be viewed with equanimity by republicans were it not for a newly-developed danger, finding expression in the announced senatorial candidacy of a third party, in the person of Walter Bordwell. The announcement of Mr. Bordwell was given publicity about three months after that of Mr. Willis H. Booth—at a time when it was generally understood and believed that Mr. Booth would be the only republican in the field, and after the great bulk of republicans had either formally pledged themselves to the support of Mr. Booth or tacitly accepted his candidacy; Whereas, manifestly, Mr. Bordwell's entrance into the contest at this inopportune time can have but one result—that of endangering the success of any republican candidate and threatening the elimination of the party's most prominent and intolerant enemy in the state—Hiram Johnson—we hold that no fair-minded person can honestly criticise our attitude in openly and strongly opposing the candidacy of Mr. Johnson, in view of the pertinent fact that he is not a member of the republican party, from which he now seeks political honor; Whereas, the legally authorized officials of the republican party of the state recognize the great responsibility resting upon them, and have no hesitancy in promptly accepting it and as promptly meeting the disagreeable condition entailed. We cannot tolerate the thought that the exceedingly bright ANAHEIM PEOPLE SEE WONDERS OF YOSEMITE Camp at Foot of Great Falls, Four Thousand Feet Above the Sea V. W. LaMont wife and son, Victor, Jr., Misses Clem Backs and Blanche Mickel, returned Friday from Yosemite Park where they spent a week as members of an excursion party. It was a week full of interest, as they spent the time viewing the natural scenes in the most wonderful spot in the world. The party engaged a tent at a camp near the famous falls, and from the door of their tent they could see the water leaping over a precipice nearly 2000 feet high and falling to the bed of the river below. Shooting is prohibited in the park, all visitors being relieved of their firearms on entering the gates, consequently the deer have become tame and the bear impudent, but the excursionists were permitted to fish. That was tame sport considering that so many specimens of big game were sauntering around unafraid, apparently conscious of the fact that they were protected by the law. The camp at which the party put up was 4000 feet above sea level, consequently the air was somewhat rarified. Some members of the party, including the Anaheimers, ascended to a height of 7300 feet, but stopped short of the snow line, which could be seen above them. Victor La Mont, Jr., reached his fourth birthday while in camp and celebrated the occasion by walking twelve miles in the high altitude. GETS FOURTEEN PASSING Man Who Defends Draws C. W.

He1, Mullinix Bldd ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1916 NEW NOTES OF COUNTY Awarded Damages: The state industrial accident commission has awarded $2490 to Mrs. Mary Gale for the death of her husband, Alexander B. Gale, of Olinda. The hearing was held in Fullerton before a referee for the commission, Attorneys E. J. Marks and Harold Coyle appearing for Mrs. Gale who instituted suit against the Petroleum Development Co., and the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Co. Gale, who was employed by the petroleum company, fell from a trestle January 18, during a heavy wind and rain storm. He died March 29, and with his death there arose the question whether he had died from the effects of the fall and subsequent exposure or whether the exposure merely aggravated a malady with which he was said to have been afflicted. Rescued Him With His Tear. Losing his balance while clinging to the guard rail of the Pacific Electric trestle connecting Seal Beach with Alamitos Bay, L. G. Edwards of Long Beach, fell 30 feet into the channel leading into the ocean, as a car was passing over the bridge Thursday. He was saved from death by the pluck and prompt assistance of his fellow-workman, J. E. Baker, also of Long Beach. Both men are employes of the Southern Counties Gas company of Long Beach, and were engaged in wrapping the gas main leading from Long Beach to Seal Beach to keep it from corrosion. They had crawled out along the trestle, which is narrow and high, for this purpose. They saw a car coming on to the bridge and lay down on opposite sides of the track at the guard rail, where the Y. M. C. A. Headquarters at Orange: According to the present plans of the Orange County Y. M. C. A. committee, the headquarters of the county organization will likely be moved to Orange on September 4, when Ralph Cole, the new secretary takes charge of the work. It has been the practice of the committee to move the headquarters from one point to another, as the need arose, and Garden Grove, Anaheim and Santa Ana have been at various times the headquarters from which the county work was administered. Over one hundred boys in nine different clubs are now interested in the Y. M. C. A. work in Santa Ana, and the committee, feeling that the organization is thoroughly established there. Plans are now made to move the headquarters to Orange, and later to Fullerton, where little has been done in recent years. Broom Factory Again Running: The Huntington Beach broom factory is again in operation under the management of Nell Duncan of Redlands. Mr. Duncan moved his family to Huntington Beach Thursday of last week. The new owners of the factory are Philip Jenkins, father-in-law of Mr. Duncan and R. N. Greet. Mr. Duncan took charge Monday morning and has been busy this week making arrangements to again have the plant in proper condition for turning out a supply of high grade brooms and brushes for the trade of this section of the state. The broom factory was operated successfully for three years, but, unfortunately, became involved in litigation the first of March, and the affairs of the partners were on the court calendars from that time until a short time ago. The former owners have brought suit for damages against the financial institution that closed the factory last March. TO COMMEMORATE HOLDUP Plans Completed for Monument on Sight of Famous Robbery The Native Sons of the Golden West have completed plans, it is announced, for the erection of a monument at Bullion Bend to commemorate a famous stage robbery there on the night of June 30, 1864. On that night the stage from Virginia City to Sacramento was attacked by a band of men who obtained a large quantity of bullion. The robbers gave a receipt to the driver to the effect that the seizure was to provide for the confederate army. The robbers were part of a band that had been trying to enlist men in Santa Clara county for the rebel army but no evidence was produced to show that they were authorized by anyone connected with the confederacy to rob stage coaches. The stage robbers were overtaken by a sheriff's posse the following morning and in the ensuing fight a deputy sheriff was killed. A few were captured. The remainder fled to Santa Clara county where another fight several of the robbeers were killed and others captured. Thomas B. Pool was convicted at Placerville of complicity in the robbery and was hanged. Another member of the gang was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. The others evaded punishment by the interposition of technicalities. GETS FOURTEEN YEARS FOR PASSING NO-FUND CHECK Man Who Defrauded John Ziegler Both men are employees of the Southern Counties Gas company of Long Beach, and were engaged in wrapping the gas main leading from Long Beach to Seal Beach to keep it from corrosion. They had crawled out along the trestle, which is narrow and high, for this purpose. They saw a car coming on to the bridge and lay down on opposite sides of the track at the guard rail, where the space is barely wide enough to accommodate the form of a man. As the car crossed the point opposite him, where his companion was reclining Baker heard a splash. At first he thought it might have been the tar bucket with which Edwards was working, fallen into the lagoon below. Looking over the ledge to make sure, Baker was horrified to see the unconscious form of his co-worker being carried out to sea by the rapidly moving tide waters at this point. The long fall had completely dazed the workman, and he was fast drifting into the ocean, limp and helpless. Baker, his companion, could not swim. Realizing the value of time, however, he shinned down the nearest piling to the water, thirty feet below. He reached out his foot as far as possible and caught the form of Edwards under a suspender strap with the toe of his shoe. In another second he would have been beyond reach. Mysterious Anaheim Man: Hurled from the buggy in which they were riding, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Nichols of Westminster narrowly escaped death last week when their vehicle was struck by an Anaheim man's automobile. The accident occurred while Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were returning from prayer meeting. Driving on the boulevard west of Garden Grove, a light at the rear of their buggy the couple were suddenly pitched out when the auto struck the rear of their vehicle. Miraculously, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols escaped with a few very slight bruises. The Anaheim man took the couple to their home. The buggy was wrecked. Nichols declined to reveal the name of the Anaheim man. Thirty Acres of Cucumbers: The Rosenmayer & Hirsch Pickle Co. is building an extension of 40 feet to their salting station at Garden Grove to house the vats necessitated by the increase in business. The company this year has under contract 30 acres condition for turning out a supply of high grade brooms and brushes for the trade of this section of the state. The broom factory was operated successfully for three years, but, unfortunately, became involved in litigation the first of March, and the affairs of the partners were on the court calendars from that time until a short time ago. The former owners have brought suit for damages against the financial institution that closed the factory last March. No Increase for Cox: Although his office entitles him to an increase in salary, Justice of the Peace John B. Cox of Santa Ana township cannot have the extra salary unless he is reelected. This is the interpretation of the California laws as contained in an opinion handed down last week by the district court of appeals. Originally, Cox received $75 for services as a magistrate in criminal cases. But the population of the township in which he presides grew to exceed 15,000 persons, and the law states that justices of the peace in townships of more than 15,000 population are entitled to $100 a month. Sharks are Numerous: Howard Pentony of Huntington Beach landed the biggest oil shark ever pulled up on the pier, Thursday morning, the specimen being 5½ feet in length and estimated to weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. Howard stated that the big shark ran out all of his line but about 25 feet, and later, when it was brought close to the pier, a gaff hook was used. John DeLong states that there is a large number of sharks in the water near the beach. He has caught several large ones in the past week. INJECTING CYANIDE IN TREES A year or so ago considerable interest was manifest in the injection of cyanide into citrus trees for the purpose of killing scales thereon. This idea started or was revived, by an article in Science, by Prof. Fernando Sanford of Stanford university, in which it was claimed that the cottony cushion scale was successfully killed on broom and also that cyanide injected into a peach and an orange tree resulted in no ill effect on the trees. Several growers of the citrus belt incurred of the experiment station at GETS FOURTEEN YEARS FOR PASSING NO-FUND CHECK Man Who Defrauded John Ziegler Draws Stiff Sentence C. W. Armstrong, the man who some weeks ago passed a no-fund $25 check on John Ziegler of the Hotel Valencia, was on Wednesday found guilty in superior court and sentenced to fourteen years in Folsom penitentiary. At his trial on Wednesday he attempted the insanity dodge but failed to convince the jury. He also professed conversion and swore he was innocent of wrong doing. Armstrong had only been released from the Oregon penitentiary a short time previous to his arrest for passing the no fund check. He is said to have a long criminal record and it was principally on the strength of this that Judge Thomas gave him the 14 years' sentence. Armstrong posed here as a wealthy, retired, railroad man, stating he had come, to this city for the purpose of buying a residence where he could spend the remainder of his years. The check which resulted in his arrest was for $25, and was drawn on a Spokane, Washington, bank. Ziegler became suspicious immediately after cashing the check and had Armstrong arrested as he was leaving the hotel. Marshal Kellenberger made the arrest. Dr. M. M.

Thirty Acres of Cucumbers: The Rosenmayer & Hirsch Pickle Co. is building an extension of 40 feet to their salting station at Garden Grove to house the vats necessitated by the increase in business. The company this year has under contract 30 acres of cucumbers, and Mr. Rosenmayer states that the crop will be an excellent one. This is the second season for the salting station, and the industry is proving a boon to growers. Several thousand dollars will be distributed in that section for the coming crop. A carload of pickles was shipped to the Los Angeles headquarters Monday morning. Bees Invade Pickle Plant: Whoever heard of bees going to a pickle factory for sweets? Well, they do in Garden Grove. Last Monday afternoon when the employees of the salting station started to work they were confronted with the buzz of thousands—yes, millions—of busy bees which had taken possession of the whole works. Labor was suspended for several hours, after coming in contact with th beusiness end of the intruder. Then it was a problem to get rid of them so that work might be resumed. Barrels are used in the shipment of the pickles, and among the lot was an empty that had contained molasses. A wise thought struck the manager. He knocked the bung out and placed it at the side of the building. In less time than it takes to tell it, the king bee leading, the barrel was filled, the bung closed, and work resumed.

This idea started or was revived, by an article in Science, by Prof. Fernando Sanford of Stanford university, in which it was claimed that the cotton cushion scale was successfully killed on broom and also that cyanide injected into a peach and an orange tree resulted in no ill effect on the trees. Several growers of the citrus belt quired of the experiment station at Riverside regarding this method as a means of killing scales on citrus, writes Prof. H. J. Quayle.. Without definite knowledge, it was stated that such a method would appear to be dangerous to the tree and ineffective on the scales, but without actual trial final judgement was not justified. For this reason the entomological department of the experiment station undertook tests along this line. The detailed account of the various experiments will not be discussed here. The method of procedure was to suspend cyanide in solution five or six feet from the ground, the cyanide being conducted through rubber tubing into a hole in the trunk about a foot from the ground. Cyanide crystals were also put in the hole. This was the method followed in the experiments by Professor Sanford. It was found that citrus trees readily absorb considerable quantities of the cyanide solution, one tree taking up about five gallons of the solution containing six ounces of sodium cyanide in ten days. A pomelo tree six or seven years old absorbed three gallons of solution containing seven ounces of cyanide in twelve days. With a more concentrated solution, another tree absorbed five gallons containing 25 ounces of sodium cyanide. The solutions indicated above were more concentrated and were taken up Fruit Jars Mason, Mason widemouth Economy, Schram and Sure Seal Fruit JARS at DICKEL'S Also Tin Cans and Jelly Glasses and all necessaries for preserving fruit and vegetables.

In all cases the trees suffered very severely, a part or all of the tree being killed. The scales apparently were not affected until that part of the tree began to die or show the effects of the injection. With less concentrated solution or where a less amount was used, results were not so serious, but in practically all cases, even with the smallest amounts used, there was evidence of injury to the tree. Even though the scales were killed this would not prove a practicable remedy as the solution in many cases is taken point of injury to the tree and the possibility of poisoning those eating fruit from such treated trees.

The scales apparently were not affected until that part of the tree began to die or show the effects of the injection. With less concentrated solution or where a less amount was used, results were not so serious, but in practically all cases, even with the smallest amounts used, there was evidence of injury to the tree. Even though the scales were killed this would not prove a practicable remedy as the solution in many cases is taken up on one side of the tree only, usually in the side in which the injection is made. In such cases the remainder of the tree would harbor the scales as if no treatment had been made. The trees treated with cyanide solution were cut down and cross sections made of the trunk and branches, and in this way the movement of the cyanide in the tree was determined. If the cyanide actually penetrates to the verf tips of the twigs, which was the case in most of the experiments, as shown by the effects on foliage and branches, the question arose as to the possibility of the solution being taken into the fruit. Fruit dropped from several of the trees under experiment after the treatment had proceeded a day or two. One of the fruits was partly eaten, the person sampling it experienced the effects of cyanide poisoning and it was necessary to call a physician. These fruits were later analyzed by Mr. Young, chemist at the Whittier station, who found cyanide, in many cases, amounting to as much as 1-10 mg. per fruit. Therefore from these experiments, only a few of which are but briefly mentioned above, the conclusion was reached that cyanide injection in citrus for the purpose of scale control is not only impracticable but is a dangerous procedure, both from the stand- Earl Ceiderman of this city, made three attempts to commit suicide on Chapman avenue near the county hospital Friday by throwing himself under passing automobiles. One of the machines missed him, another ran over his leg without injuring him seriously, and the wheels of the last one disabled him by passing over his back. He was taken to the hospital where he $told Dr. Zaiser that he had lived long enough and wanted to die. He was not seriously injured. Ceiderman's mother committed suicide three years ago. He was afterward taken to the county jail where he made another attempt to commit suicide Saturday. Though he was in the padded cell, reserved for violent cases and considered suicide proof his attempt was nearly successful. Practically the only article in the cell was a roll of toilet paper but Ceideman made this do. He unrolled long strips of the paper and started cramming them down his throat. Industriously he worked until his pipes were loaded with a cargo that would have gone far toward relieving the present paper famine. Still Ceideman kept craming and when an attendant happened to stroll his way and discovered him his eyes were bulging and his face turning blue. The attendant forced him to disgorge and he was none the worse for his experience after a few good breaths. However, it was merely a turn of chance that stood between the demented man and death.
