THE CLANSMAN IS COMING TO THE GRAND FAMOUS PHOTOPLAY TO BE SHOWN IN ANAHEIM FRIDAY AND SATURDAY "THE PURPLE" LADY AND MR. MRS. SIDNEY DREW ON SCREEN TONIGHT One of the greatest plays ever produced by a film company has been secured by Manager Mozart of the New Grand and will be shown at that popular house Friday and Saturday evening, and at Saturday's matinee. It is "The Clansman," staged from Thomas Dixon's famous novel of that name. There are twelve reels in the play and only one show can be presented. It will start at 8 o'clock, and the admission will be 25 and 35 cents. Several months ago the Clansman was shown at Los Angeles, and a number of Anaheim people went up to see it. All pronounced it to be a wonderful play. In a number of cities this play has been prohibited by the authorities because of its tendency to stir up a sectional feeling between the northern and southern people. It deals with the reconstruction days following the Civil war. All seats for this great play will be reserved and numbered, and should be purchased in advance. Tonight will be shown "The Purple Lady," by Ralph Herz and Irene Howley. It is a detective story and relates how the president of the Up-block, and not upon the valued corner location, she would look upon the moving back as a decided benefit. John Zeigler set his fine Valencia Hotel, at the corner of Center and Lemon, back to the new street line and has valuable property. The hotel is one of the finest in the Southland, and he has not asked for any benefits. All he asks is that all do likewise, and at once. However, Mrs. Mitchell considers her corner as a gilt-edge holding of the city and were she to be asked to cut down her buildings eight feet, she argued, would be decidedly unfair. It is intimated by the trustees that perhaps the only way to have the entire block of uniform street line, that a district may have to be formed and a commission named to assess benefits and damages. The outcome is awaited with interest by every citizen within the city. PACIFIC COAST FIREMEN PAY VISIT TO ANAHEIM Compliment Anaheim on Its Excellent Fire Fighting Apparatus One hundred fire chiefs from the various cities of the Pacific coast, were entertained by the Anaheim fire boys for a short time Saturday evening. They had been attending a convention at San Diego, and were on their way to their homes in the north. The party was traveling on a special train, but arranged to leave it at Santa Ana and go through beautiful Orange county in autos. After leaving Santa Ana the party went to Tustin, Orange, El Modena and Villa Park before coming into Anaheim. Fire Chief Elmer Goodrich was the host in Anaheim and with a number of the other boys met the party at the library building. The visitors were taken to the Mother Colony club rooms where lunch was served, and In a number of cities this play has been prohibited by the authorities because of its tendency to stir up a sectional feeling between the northern and southern people. It deals with the reconstruction days following the Civil war. All seats for this great play will be reserved and numbered, and should be purchased in advance. Tonight will be shown "The Purple Lady," by Ralph Herz and Irene Howley. It is a detective story and relates how the president of the Uplift League investigates the Purple Cafe and is captivated by the beauty of the Purple Lady. It is a thrilling comedy drama. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew, in one of their great comedies, will also appear. There is a special attraction for tonight, also. Harry Hahn, the noted singer, will render a number of songs at both shows. Among his songs are "Ramona," "Down in the Deep," "Dear Old Girl," "Big Brother of All Nations," "Old Hiedelberg," and "Lay My Head Beneath the Rose." If you have ever read Tennyson's great poem "Maud," you will know something of the plot of Sunday night's play. It is called "Naked Hearts." It is founded upon the romance in that story, and is full of love, chivalry, brave deeds and tragedy. Napoleon and Sally, the educated chimpanzees, and the Mutt and Jeff cartoons will also be shown. The New Grand continues to draw the crowds as Manager Mozart gives his audiences something worth seeing every night. Friday and Saturday night he presented "The Vallants of Virginia," with Kathlyn Williams in the leading feminine role, and Sunday night the play was "A Yellow Streak," featuring Lionel Barrymore. Mr. Mozart will hereafter produce all of Mary Pickford's plays as soon as they are completed. Mr. Mozart believes his audiences are entitled to the best, and the greatest plays in filmdom will be shown at the Grand, irrespective of the cost. MRS. MITCHELL ASKS PAY FOR SIDEWALK SPACE Moving Back of Buildings on Center Street Taking Concrete Form in Council Chambers Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell drove over from their residence near Long Beach on Thursday to attend to business matters and paid a visit to the party was traveling on a special train, but arranged to leave it at Santa Ana and go through beautiful Orange county in autos. After leaving Santa Ana the party went to Tustin, Orange, El Modena and Villa Park before coming into Anaheim. Fire Chief Elmer Goodrich was the host in Anaheim and with a number of the other boys met the party at the library building. The visitors were taken to the Mother Colony club rooms where lunch was served, and a quarter of an hour spent in exchanging ideas. At Fullerton the firemen again caught the special, which had traveled through the county without them. The visitors handed many bouquets to the fire bays, declaring they did not expect to see so fine a force and such an excellent equipment in a city the size of Anaheim. RETIRED MINISTER DIES SUDENLY OF HEART FAILURE Rev. S. J. Luhring Passes Away at His Home Saturday Night Rev. S. J. Luhring died suddenly at his home, corner of Ball road and West street Saturday night of heart failure. Mr. Luhring had been ill for some weeks and was taking the baths at the Adelheid bath house. Saturday night after returning to his home he was taken ill and shortly afterward expired. Mr. Luhring was 58 years of age. He was formerly pastor of the German Evangelical church, but had recently purchased a small ranch on the Ball road. Funeral services were held at the Evangelical church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Loencher officiating, and the remains were buried in Santa Ana. He leaves a wife, daughter and a son. BAKERS MUST MAINTAIN STANDARD SIZE LOAF State Sealer Johnson Prohibits Reduction in Weight of Bread In spite of the increases in the cost of baking material, bakers are still able to make an average profit of 38½ per cent on a barrel of flour, selling 12 ounce loaves for five cents, according to State Sealer of Weights and Measures Charles G. Johnson, who has completed a thorough investigation of baking methods. Johnson finds that 357 loaves selling at the rate of five cents a loaf equals $17.85, which is a profit of... MRS. MITCHELL ASKS PAY FOR SIDEWALK SPACE Moving Back of Buildings on Center Street Taking Concrete Form in Council Chambers Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell drove over from their residence near Long Beach on Thursday to attend business matters and paid a visit to the city trustees at their session in the evening. Mrs. Mitchell stated that their building on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets is now not encumbered with any leases and the time was opportune to discuss the advisability of moving back the Center street frontage to comply with the new street line in that block. Several years ago they gave a nine foot strip free for the alley widening, while Joe Backs adjoining received $1000 cash and had his residence moved by the city to another site. At the present time to give an eight foot strip on Center street for the new street line, Mrs. Mitchell said, was really asking too much for them to sacrifice. The property is valuable, and the seventeen feet combined would easily bring in a monthly revenue of $50. Mrs. Mitchell discussed the propriety of forming a district, embracing that block, and having a commission appointed to assess benefits and damages. It is understood that other property owners in the block view the matter in the same light. A number of owners have voluntarily cut down their frontages without remuneration, thereby greatly enhancing the value of their holdings. Several have not as yet complied with the spirit of civic advancement, but the real cause has not been stated. Mrs. Mitchell stated that were her buildings located inside the duction in Weight of Bread In spite of the increases in the cost of baking material, bakers are still able to make an average profit of 38½ per cent on a barrel of flour, selling 12 ounce loaves for five cents, according to State Sealer of Weights and Measures Charles G. Johnson, who has completed a thorough investigation of baking methods. Johnson finds that 357 loaves selling at the rate of five cents a loaf equals $17.85, which is a profit of $4.97½, giving the 38½ per cent average profit. According to Johnson, the wholesale price of bread of the standard weight furnished to grocers and delicatessen stores by the large bakers is four cents, leaving a net profit of 15 per cent to the wholesalers. He claims this excessive profit in the sale of bread is due to up-to-date and efficient machinery. On the basis of these figures Johnson is preparig to oppose any plan of the master bakers to go below the standard weight of 12 ounces net weight for five cent bread. "The standard will be maintained," says Johnson. "If the bakers want to combine to force up the price of bread they must do it by advancing the price of the standard loaf at established weight and not by reducing it. The bakers contend that it will be easier to bake a smaller loaf to sell for five cents than to maintain the present standard loaf and sell it for six cents. "In all events, irrespective of what the attitude of the bakers may be, the California housewife is thoroughly efficient in the baking of bread, and she probably will take this course." Dr. M. M.

Saturday night two houses near the Anaheim sugar factory were raided by Sheriff Jackson and Deputies Maxwell, Iman and Eeellis, with the result that at one place a big fellow threatened to throw the sheriff out of the place, a threat, however, that the man did not attempt to carry out. Ed Fuller, part Spanish or Mexican, was the man who became peeved at the sheriff. Search of the man's house revealed that a hiding place had been designed for bottled beer that was somewhat out of the ordinary. The place was an obscure shelf over a doorway in a small hallway. Jackson and Maxwell got four sacks of bottled beer at this place. Fuller pleaded not guilty, and his trial was set for Sept. 15. Mrs. F. A. Williams and sons, Roland and Ralph, who have been visiting with the family of her uncle, W. M. Wallman, left Friday for their home in Omaha. Mrs. N. F.

The first carload of lima beans of this season's crop to be moved out was shipped from Irvine by the J. M. Waterman Selling Agency. The car is consigned to Tampa, Fla. The product is of a splendid quality. H. B. Van Dien, local agent for the company, stated that the lima bean crop will be much larger than last year. The light rains of last week did no damage whatever to beans in the field. Prices are ranging around 5 cents, according to the agent. There is no particular activity among the buyers at the present time, as most of the growers are awaiting the action of the California Lima Bean association, the directors of which meet at Oxnard next Friday to set the price for the product.

Howard, central committeeman from Anaheim, who, in a few well selected words, presented him as the only republican candidate for United States senator, the man who had been chosen at a state republican convention, and the man who was endorsed by the republican state central committee. Mr. Booth did not attempt to make a political speech. His time was limited as he was making a whirlwind tour through this and Los Angeles counties, and he had several speeches to make before reaching Long Beach where he was to speak at night. He said that for twenty-five years there had been an unwritten law in California, which all parties recognized, that owing to the difference in products the Southern part of California should select one of the United States senators and the north the other one. Governor Johnson, he said, was the only man during that quarter of a century who had assailed that law, and he was doing it, not in the interests of the people, but for his own selfish ends. Mr. Booth did not deal in abuse. He merely outlined the situation, and declared he was only asking for a square deal. He said the democratic party had its candidate on the ticket for the November election. He would have no opposition in the primary. The progressive party had its candidate and he would have no opposition in the primary, and he was only asking for justice when he demanded that the great republican party should be permitted to have its candidate for that important office on the November ballot. He asked the voters to remember that there was only one real republican in the race for the United States senorship and that others who were seeking to defeat him for the nomination were not registered as republicans and could not even vote for themselves as republicans in the primary. He paid a high tribute to Mr. Patton, the democratic candidate for the senatorship, that he was a personal friend of his and was worthy of the support of all who believed in his principles. The party spent nearly an hour here and left for Fullerton at 3:45. Many Anaheim republicans fell in line with their autos and helped swell the procession to Fullerton. Everywhere throughout the county the party was greeted by large crowds who gave Mr. Booth an enthusiastic reception. Mrs. F. A. Williams and sons, Roland and Ralph, who have been visiting with the family of her uncle, W. M. Wallman, left Friday for their home in Omaha. A bank account may help to turn shadows into sunshine.
