FUNDS RECEIVED FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES BOARD OF TRADE HOLD MEETING DESPIE FACT THAT NO QUORUM IS PRESENT LOS ANGELES NEWSPAPER BOOSTER RECEIVES THE GLASSY STARE At the board of trade meeting Monday night Secretary Duckworth read the following sums secured on subscription lists by the general committees, who have been soliciting funds to defray attorney's fees to carry the case of the United Storm Water District through the Appellate court, and also to the Supreme court, should an appeal be taken there: F. N. Gibbs ... $294.00 E. N. Cook ... 210.00 Mr. Toussou ... 84.00 Mr. Wheeler ... 25.00 F. N. Gibbs, cash ... 100.00 Mr. Duckworth reported that upon the authorization of Mr. Gibbs, who is chairman of the river protection dis- the wants of the unfortunate Belgians has been made through authorized committees, and the local organization will do all in its power to help alleviate their sufferings. A committee, consisting of C. E. Holcomb, F. C. Krause, E. E. Smith and Charles Boege was appointed to receive funds. Besides money commodities such as rice, flour, milk, etc., will be gladly received for this worthy cause. Railroad companies will transport all donations free of charge, and everybody who feels able to contribute, may their donations be ever so small, are requested to get into communication with the committee. H. P. Noll, on behalf of the Elks, asked permission to use the board of trade rooms at different intervals, for the purpose of perfecting a lodge in this city, and the same was granted. M. E. Beebe, of the committee on public improvements, stated that as yet no definite action had been taken in reference to the establishing in the city of a public lavatory, but he further stated that the library site was inaccessible. H. C. Head, who had been associated with Mr. Ames, as one of the counsel representing the United district, has withdrawn from the case. A communication was received from the California Development Board, asking for resolutions favoring the forthcoming $15,000,000 bond issue for additional state highways. No action was taken. After the meeting a number of Mr. Duckworth reported that upon the authorization of Mr. Gibbs, who is chairman of the river protection district committee, he had drawn a check for $250, which had been presented to H. G. Ames, who has been retained by the district to represent them in the case soon to be heard in the Appellate court, wherein the legality of the formation of the United Storm Water District is questioned. It was stated that Mr. Ames' fee is to be $500 to carry the case through the lower court, and should an appeal be taken to the state Supreme court an additional fee of $300 is asked. It was further stated at the meeting that the court costs, such as providing briefs, etc., is to be an additional charge. E. N. Cook, speaking on behalf of the East side delegation, who have been soliciting funds for this purpose, stated that they had thoroughly canvassed their section and that they felt they would be unable to secure additional funds to the amounts already collected. It was reported that $800 would be necessary to pay the attorney should the case be taken to the Supreme court, and computing court costs to be several hundred dollars, it would be necessary to raise at least $1500. Mr. Cook, Mr. O'Donnell, Mr. Wheeler and other eastsiders who were present were inclined to believe the attorney's fees were high, and since the court costs are yet to be added, these gentlemen doubted the probability of raising the required sums by popular subscription. Mr. Cook asked whether or not the other sections of the district would contribute their share. Mr. Krause said that Anaheim would do its share and would see that the remaining required sum would be forthcoming. Mr. Krause stated that the district looked for a favorable decision in the case now pending and that the trustees were going right along with the preliminary work. However, the gentlemen in this city who have taken a lead in the formation of the protection district, feel confident that the district will ultimately win and that its affairs now are her stated that the library site was inaccessible. H. C. Head, who had been associated with Mr. Ames, as one of the counsel representing the United district, has withdrawn from the case. A communication was received from the California Development Board, asking for resolutions favoring the forthcoming $15,000,000 bond issue for additional state highways. No action was taken. After the meeting a number of those present attended a social dance given in the cafe. ANAHEIM ORANGES STILL COMMAND HIGH PRICES Local Association's Business 40 Per Cent Greater Than Last Year Anaheim Supreme and Mother Colony brands of Valencia oranges, packed by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association are still showing weekly amongst the brands that are bringing the highest prices. These brands we are informed will be seen on the market until the first of November as the association expects to wind up its old crop the latter part of this month. With prosperity that has been evident all over the East and the ability and desire of many Eastern people to come to California, there is no doubt that many will want to invest in orange groves, and with the prominence with which the above brands have advertised this section there seems no reason why a great deal of real estate should not change hands this winter. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit association has done at least 40% more business than last year, and their packing house has been one of the busiest places in town, what with the packing of the fruit, the distributing of cover crop seed, and fertilizers, and taking care of their large fumigating campaign. The annual meeting of the association will be held the forepart of November, and it will be found in the report of its manager that over half a million dollars have been disbursed in this section the past season, there are many other matters of interest which will be given out, chief among them being the amount of refund that is coming to its members after the close of its records, this is an item that is of great value to its members and is only received by the members of At 7 o'clock tomobile contact at the home corner of Syne streets.

Mr. Krause stated that the district looked for a favorable decision in the case now pending and that the trustees were going right along with the preliminary work. However, the gentlemen in this city who have taken a lead in the formation of the protection district, feel confident that the district will ultimately win and that its affairs now are being looked after with the best interests of the district at heart, and that all will be well. A gentleman representing a Los Angeles publication was present and asked for a guarantee of $140 from the board of trade to apply to a booster edition which his paper contemplated issuing. The front page of one section would be devoted to a general write up and another page would be used for advertising purposes, five columns of which it was asked the board of trade to guarantee. The boosters would do the rest. Upon motion, duly carried, the matter was referred to the committee on advertising, where to all appearances, it will be allowed to slumber. Messrs. Sandilands, Curtis, Weaden, and Calkins & Son were admitted to membership. Herman Noll, of the committee on finance, reported that since he is out to collect an even $1000, which he expects soon to have subscribed, he would defer his report until the next meeting, when the lists would be turned in. The committee has been zealous in its endeavors to raise funds for maintenance of the board of trade, and are to be congratulated for the handsome sums realized. An urgent appeal for funds to relieve The annual meeting of the association will be held the forepart of November, and it will be found in the report of its manager that over half a million dollars have been disbursed in this section the past season, there are many other matters of interest which will be given out, chief among them being the amount of refund that is coming to its members after the close of its records, this is an item that is of great value to its members and is only received by the members of this particular association. The annual report will also show that the association is free from debt and occupies one of the largest and best equipped packing houses in the state. Prospects are that at least 500 people will attend the annual meeting and the usual excellent lunch will be served at noon. The afternoon will be occupied by the discussion by experts of subjects that are of greatest interest to the orange grower. POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED Felix Stein of Brea and Miss Claire Nicolas of Fullerton were married at high noon on Thursday at the home of the bride, Rev. Father F. J. Dubbell officiating.. The wedding was one of unusual pomp and ceremony and a large number of relatives and friends of the happy young couple were present. The bride is one of the charming belles of Fullerton, who has many friends and admirers. Mr. Stein is in the merchandise business at Fullerton, at which place the newlyweds will make their home after a brief honeymoon spent in the northern part of the State. Mr. and Mrs. Stein are receiving the congratulations of a large circle of friends who wish them a long and happy wedded life.

LEHNEBACH FORCED TO DIVULGE HIDING PLACE, LEFT BOUND AND GAGGED IN HOUSE Burglaries have been so numerous in the smaller towns of Orange county during the past few weeks that no one was surprised to hear Monday morning that Anaheim had been raided, but the gang that operated here was of a different degree from the petty thieves who have been contented with small picking in the post offices and stores of the neighboring communities. Three thousand dollars in jewelry and silverware was carried away Sunday night from the Langenberger residence in one of the boldest burglaries ever perpetrated in this region. At 7 o'clock Sunday evening an automobile containing five men, stopped emeralds and diamonds, two solitaire diamond rings, a leaf ring set with emeralds, diamonds and rubles, a panay shapped brooch with diamond in center, amethysts and topazes on the leaves, two ladies' and one gentleman's gold watches, one set with diamonds in back, a chain with rubles and diamond in elasp, blue enameled locket set with pearls, besides a number of plain gold ornaments. The total value of the jewelry taken is not far below $3000. One of the rings was valued at $1000. It is evident the thieves were well informed as to the house and the existence of the jewels. They also knew that Gus Langenberger was at Venice that day and that his aunt was alone in the house. She had returned only the previous day from a visit to San Francisco. They knew of a valuable diamond ring that had been presented to Mr. Langenberger by a friend many years ago, and demanded it, but were informed that it was safely locked in a bank vault. After securing their loot the robbers drove away, going in the direction of Los Angeles, it was learned. Mrs. Lehnebach was not injured but she was so badly frightened that she could give but a meagre description of the thieves. One was a short man, she says, the other three of medium height, and all wore overcoats and wide brimmed hats. They made no effort to conceal their faces. One of the peculiar circumstances crowds of people, not only from Anaheim but from rural sections and neighboring towns, were welcomed by William Falkenstein and his corps of popular assistants at the formal opening of the new store in the Cassou block Thursday evening. The doors were opened at 7 o'clock and for two and a half hours interested people flocked in and admired the new store and the magnificent stock of ladies' and children's goods on display. The work of decorating the big store was turned over to Curt Epstein, Mr. Falkenstein's nephew, and he certainly demonstrated that he has an artistic eye. The guests walked under towering palms while potted plants that Anaheim had been raided, but the gang that operated here was of a different degree from the petty thieves who have been contented with small picking in the post offices and stores of the neighboring communities. Three thousand dollars in jewelry and silverware was carried away Sunday night from the Langenberger residence in one of the boldest burglaries ever perpetrated in this region. At 7 o'clock Sunday evening an automobile containing five men, stopped at the home of Gus Langenberger, corner of Sycamore and Lemon streets. Mr. Langenberger was not at home, his aunt, Mrs. Ida Lehnebach being alone in the house. One of the men remained in the auto, the other four walking boldly up to a side door. They knocked and when Mrs. Lehnebach opened it she was confronted by four determined looking men, one of whom was pointing a revolver in her face. "All we want you to do, madam, is to keep quiet and answer questions," said the leader of the gang. They crowded into the house and demanded that she tell them where the valuables were kept. She refused, consequently they ransacked the house taking the lady with them. A large quantity of silverware was accumulated, but as the jewelry which it was evident they knew she possessed, could not be found they grew threatening. "If she don't tell where the diamonds are," one of them finally growled, "knock her on the head—knock her brains out." "If she don't tell pretty quick," said another, "I'll throw her out of the window." Finding that resistance was useless and fearing violence, Mrs. Lehnebach finally gave up the jewelry which was concealed in a wardrobe, the value of which was nearly $3000. After leisurily ransacking the house they proceeded to bind and gag the lady with ropes made of clothing, then left with their loot and rolled away in the auto. It was nearly 9 o'clock when H. A. Dickel and wife, who live a couple of blocks from the Langenberger home, nephew and niece of Mrs. Lehnebach, heard some one making a peculiar noise at their door. They ran out and found the lady with her hands still bound behind her and the gag in her mouth. She was speedily released and told the story of the burglary. She also told how she succeeded in freeing her feet with a pair of scissors, by stepping down and spinning at the After securing their loot the robbers drove away, going in the direction of Los Angeles, it was learned. Mrs. Lehnebach was not injured but she was so badly frightened that she could give but a meagre description of the thieves. One was a short man, she says, the other three of medium height, and all wore overcoats and wide brimmed hats. They made no effort to conceal their faces. One of the peculiar circumstances of the case was that the thieves knew of the existence of the ring which had been presented to Mr. Langenberger. Neither Mrs. Lehnebach nor Mr. or Mrs. Dickel had ever heard of it, but one of Mr. Dickel's sons had either seen or heard it mentioned at one time. All the Langenberger jewels are in a bank vault, and the ring is among them, but how the burglars knew of its existence is a mystery. Deputy Sheriff Maxwell of Santa Ana, and Officer Kurtz of Long Beach, finger print experts, were sent for and made an examination of the premises Monday morning taking a number of photographs. Every effort is being made by the officers of Southern California to apprehend the robbers. It is the opinion of the officials that the burglars might have secured their information from some remark they overheard Mr. Langenberger make. They were better informed than members of the family on the subject of the valuable ring which had been presented him. Mrs. Lehnebach came here from Germany just previous to the outbreak of the war, and one of the articles taken was her passport. Although hysterical and almost prostrated from the fright and rough handling, Mrs. Lehnebach has recovered and will suffer no ill effects from the shock. One of the burglars, it is said, protected her when the others threatened her life, and stood guard while they were rainsacking the house. Sheriff Jackson and his deputies made an investigation Monday and are working on the case, but have not as yet succeeded in rounding up the thieves. Mr. Langenberger has sworn to a John Doe warrant. Officers in all the Southern cities are on the lookout for them. ALWAYS HAS A FRONT SEAT Orange county persists in being represented in all athletic meets and contests on world-wide importance. The work of decorating the big store was turned over to Curt Epstein, Mr. Falkenstein's nephew, and he certainly demonstrated that he has an artistic eye. The guests walked under towering palms, while potted plants and flowers of every description were arranged throughout the building. The store was beautifully lighted and the effect was beautiful and attracted almost as much attention as the splendid stock of goods on display. The large show windows at the entrance proved particularly attractive to the ladies, as they displayed the latest models in gowns and other articles of ladies' wear. Some of the visitors were almost unable to tear themselves away, but as Schmidt's orchestra was discoursing inspiring music inside they finally crowded in and made the rounds of the store. Everything was attractively arranged, all the goods being enclosed in glass. Nothing was for sale. The clerks were all on hand merely to act as guides to the hundreds of visitors. The new Falkenstein store is one of the largest and finest in the county. The place was built especially for this purpose, according to Mr. Falkenstein's ideas, and is as convenient as it can be made. Everything on the main floor is in plain sight, enclosed in glass cases, and the departments are all separate, so that the customer can see what he wants without wasting time. The goods on the main floor are only a portion of the immense stock, as the basement is stored full waiting to be brought up and displayed as the occasion demands. Nearly all the goods in the old store at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets were disposed of in the clean-up sale and the present stock is practically all new and up-to-date. Mr. Falkenstein has entirely cleaned out his former stock of men's furnishings, and is devoting himself now to clothing only the ladies and the kiddles. He has a magnificent stock of all the latest things for their wear, and judging from the large crowd of interested people at the opening, and the comments heard, he has something to show that pleases them. It was nearly 9 o'clock when H. A. Dickel and wife, who live a couple of blocks from the Largenberger home, nephew and niece of Mrs. Lehnebach, heard some one making a peculiar noise at their door. They ran out and found the lady with her hands still bound behind her and the gag in her mouth. She was speedily released and told the story of the burglary. She also told how she succeeded in freeing her feet with a pair of scissors, by stooping down and snipping at the improvised rope until she severed it. She had cut the bottom of her dress and the tops of her shoes in several places, but finally found her feet free. She was unable to free her hands or remove the gag, and when she reached the Dickel residence it was found her hands were so tightly bound it was necessary to cut the rope. Mrs. Lehnebach was unable to give a very accurate description of the men, but says they were all smooth-shaven and of medium size. City Marshal Kellenberger was immediately notified and promptly sent messages to the sheriff's office and the police of the various towns, and all the officers in Southern California are making an effort to cast a net around the bold marauders. It was one of the most daring and successful burglaries ever pulled off in this county. The jewels stolen were mostly in old settings and some were prized for their associations as well as the intrinsic value. Among them was a stickpin with a large diamond in the center, surrounded by emeralds. This was presented to Mrs. Lehnebach's husband by Ludwig, king of Bavaria, and was especially prized. Other articles taken were a pair of solitaire diamond earrings, Marquis ring with 21 diamonds, Marquis ring set with Orange county persists in being represented in all athletic meets and contests or world wide importance. Especially is it evident that world's series can no longer exist without having a Southern California man somewhere in the field or on the bases. Last year it was Gavvy Cravath, whose fence-busting proclivities have made him the idol of the home-run fans, and this year it is Olson, the Dodger shortstop, who is keeping little old Orange county on the map. Olson is not a figure well known in baseball. His Major league history began two years ago when he was drawn from Portland by the Cincinnati Nationals to hold down the second sack. Brooklyn acquired Olson on a trade with the Cincinnati team, and placed him at shortstop. That was in the middle of the 1915 season. He has been with Brooklyn since that date, and is rated as a good shortstop. This is Olson's first experience in a world series contest. In Saturday's game he sent the bleachers into hysteria by his wonderful base running in beating out the only infield hit made in the game. Olson spends his winters at Laguna Beach, along with half a dozen of the other Major leaguers. Last winter he occupied the Pioneer cottage at Arch Beach. He is a relative of Mrs. J. Benentt and Mrs. Thomas Cummings of Laguna Beach. Mr. Falkenstein has entirely cleaned out his former stock of men's furnishings, and is devoting himself now to clothing only the ladies and the kiddles. He has a magnificent stock of all the latest things for their wear, and judging from the large crowd of interested people at the opening, and the comments heard, he has something to show that pleases them. LYCEUM COURSE STARTS TUESDAY, OCT. 17 The Comus Players First of the Entertainments Given by High School The Lyceum course tickets are now on sale. The Lyceum course this year, the management tell us, is absolutely the best course that has ever been offered to the people of Anaheim. The first number, the Comus players, comes Oct. 17th. These dramatists present, besides a scene from Shakespeare, the Canadian drama, "Carson of the North Woods." A story of life around Quebec. This number is to be followed by Ralph Parlette, humorist; The Hawaiian Sextette; Beilharz, Impersonator; Mario, the Magician; and the Gamut club Triquartette. These six numbers are offered to the public at the rediculous sum of one dollar. In other words, each entertainment costs sixteen and two third cents. The management has taken a risk by engaging such an expensive course and then offering it for one dollar; but it was done so that every person in the community would be able to take advantage of the offer. Season tickets are in the hands of various high school students, or they may be bought at Heying's Drug store. OPENING NEW LADIES' MORIUM PEOPLE CROWD INSTEIN DEPARTURE THURSDAY NIGHT BY ORCHESTRAL BEAUTIFUL DIS-NEW GOODS people, not only from rural sections and cities, were welcomed by Stein and his corps of officers at the formal opening store in the Cassoune evening. The doors o'clock and for two interested people arrived the new store present stock of ladies' goods on display.

UNITED STORM WATER DISTRICT TRUSTEES BUSY Preliminary Work For Protection Being Done In River Channel The trustees of the United Storm Water District are going ahead with the engineering and surveying work necessary in order to perfect the plans as mapped out to dredge the river channel and construct the dike, upon the west side of the Santa Ana river from Yorba to Newbert. Much preliminary work has to be done and the trustees desire to rush the protection work as far as possible before the winter season arrives. Mr. Eygabroad of the board of trustees looks for a verdict in favor of the district when the case now pending in the Appellate court has a hearing, which will be in a week or two. Should the formation of the district be declared valid, the trustees will then appoint the three commissioners, and it will then be ascertained what amount of money will be necessary to finance the project. It has been estimated that $2 per acre will be sufficient, which will give the district about $125,000 with which to carry on the work. Should there be no further obstacles in the way, building of the dike will be vigorously pushed to completion. Should the California lawmakers draft legislation giving counties the power to make improvements upon rivers within their boundaries, it is important meeting to be held today TRI-COUNTIES REFORESTATION COMMITTEE TO HOLD SESSION IN THIS CITY MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE TO BE GUESTS AT BUSINESS MEN'S LUNCHEON Through the activities of A. S. Bradford of Placentia the meeting of the Tri-counties Reforestation committee will be held at the Valencia hotel today. When the committee, having in charge the arranging of the program for the Thursday luncheon, learned of this fact it was forthwith announced to make Mr. Bradford chairman of the meeting. He has arranged to have that body convene in this city today and it is the intention to consolidate the two meetings as far as possible. The conservation of flood waters at the present time is a vital question to all Southern California, and San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties are doing much good along this line.

"The LURE OF THE FAR NORTH" Rare Treat Given Ebell Society by Mrs. Fysh of San Gabriel The Ebell members who were not present last Saturday afternoon missed a rare treat in the talk on "The Lure of the Far North," by Mrs. Fred A. H. Fysh, president of the San Gabriel Womans Club. Mrs. Fysh, spent many years in the Yukon, her husband being an officer of the Canadian government, and her description of the charm and lure of that country which is peculiar to itself was most interesting. Mrs. Fysh has a most pleasing stage presence and she held her audience from first to last. The club is planning to have her again in the not far distant future. The talk by Dr. Harry A. Zeizer on "The Work of the County Hospital from a Medical Standpoint," was very good. As a whole people very rarely give much serious thought to this great work that our county carries on, so from an educational standpoint alone his talk presented many points that the members of the club were glad to be acquainted with. Miss Isenberg of Shelbyville, Ill., who is a guest of Mrs. Don Parker, rendered a vocal solo in a charming manner. for the Thursday luncheon, learned of this fact it was forthwith announced to make Mr. Bradford chairman of the meeting. He has arranged to have that body convene in this city today and it is the intention to consolidate the two meetings as far as possible. The conservation of flood waters at the present time is a vital question to all Southern California, and San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties are doing much good along this line. The conserving of flood waters at the head of the Santa Ana river replenishes the supply in the valleys below, meaning much to irrigators in this and the other contiguous valleys. Helpful legislation it is confidently expected will be passed at the forthcoming session of the California lawmakers, looking to the control of flood waters. The new laws as proposed will give counties the power to make improvements along their rivers and waterways. Governmental aid will also be given to the river control problem and it is generally believed that through these agencies alone can the control of flood waters be accomplished successfully. The Tri-counties Reforestation committee is taking an active interest in the drafting of legislation that will give aid to counties in the endeavor to definitely define river channels and confine flood streams during excessive rainfall. Locally, the issue is of paramount importance, and the people of this city and adjacent sections have formed a protection district, with the view of making extensive improvements along the west bank of the Santa Ana river from the old Yorba bridge to the Newbert district. The meeting today will be attended by gentlemen who have made a careful study of flood control for many years and no doubt they will have something of interest to tell those who attend the meeting. Mr. Bradford, as a member of the Tri-counties reforestation committee from this county, is enthusiastic about the success accomplished, and firmly believes a solution to the vexed problem of river control will be solved by concerted action upon the part of these three Southern counties. There should be a large gathering of citizens at the meeting today as the topics to be discussed vitally concern everybody in Southern California. Now is an opportune time for united action upon the part of the people. "The Work of the County Hospital from a Medical Standpoint," was very good. As a whole people very rarely give much serious thought to this great work that our county carries on, so from an educational standpoint alone his talk presented many points that the members of the club were glad to be acquainted with. Miss Isenberg of Shelbyville, Ill., who is a guest of Mrs. Don Parker, rendered a vocal solo in a charming manner. The piano solo by Master Stanley Falkenstein was greatly appreciated. The club always appreciates the entertainment that is often given by the sons and daughters of the members. Ebell Notes Mrs. Nellie Terry entertained the Executive Board on Monday afternoon. Nearly all the members were present. The hostess served tea and wafers and a most pleasant afternoon was spent in plans for the club work. The Music Section met Wednesday with Mrs. Don Parker. The Domestic Science Section will meet Friday with Mrs. Glifford. Miss Lucille Turner, of the High School faculty will give a talk on 'Salads and Desserts,' and their relation to each other in the daily menu." The Travel Section will meet with Mrs. Glifford on the third Wednesday. Either Mrs. Eygabroad or Mrs. Hargrave will give a talk on the Lincoln Highway. This will be very interesting as both ladies with their husbands made this tour the past summer. The Civics Section will meet with Mrs. Prince on the fourth Wednesday. Friday morning at 7:30, at Heying's these season tickets may be exchanged for reserved season tickets on payment of 50 cents. There should be a large gathering of citizens at the meeting today as the topics to be discussed vitally concern everybody in Southern California. Now is an opportune time for united action upon the part of the people. Many men who have looked upon the periodical pranks of the erratic Santa Ana river during unusually heavy rainfall as a serious matter, now see a solution to the much discussed problem, and believe that improvements of a substantial and lasting nature will soon be inaugurated. A new chapter has been written in the case of Mrs. Flora Starbuck against the City of Fullerton. Attorney Allen, who with other attorneys, appeared for Mrs. Starbuck, has taken the case to the supreme court. The suit involves the opening of a road south of the railroad tracks and had its inception in a writ of mandate filed in the superior court of Orange county. The writ was denied. Attorney E. J. Marks appeared for the city in the action. Samuel Hill was in the city during the week from his ranch west of town. Mr. Hill is one of the pioneer farmers of the West Side, and was fortunate enough to harvest a 20-acre field of lima beans before the rain set in, a week or more ago. Sam is a modest man and declares his success in getting in his beans before the rains came was due more to good luck than to the fact that he is one of the best farmers in the county.
