FLETCHER TALKS ON COMMUNITY SPIRIT ADVOCATES COOPERATION OF CITIZENS FOR ADVANCEMENT OF MUTUAL INTEREST OHIO EDITOR TOURING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DELIVERS ADDRESS HERE Since the inauguration of the merchants' weekly luncheons four months ago by the board of trade, a number of prominent speakers have been secured to address the gatherings. These luncheons are becoming more popular each week, and of late members of the board of trade and the merchants association have been accompanied by their wives. Such men at Lieutenant Governor Stephens, Judge W. H. Thomas, City Attorney Albert Lee Stephens of Los Angeles, H. S. Hadsell, W. H. Whalen of the Southern Pacific, Douglass White of the Salt Lake and T. F. Conway of the Santa Fe have talked on different occasions. Last week the luncheon was held on Friday instead of Thursday, as the speaker, Thomas Brooks Fletcher, engaged by Toastmaster Krause, sent word that he could not be present on the appointed day. Mr. Fletcher is on a lecture tour throughout the west, his subject being cooperation and community build- posite side of the dividing line attended the lecture. "Religion is one of the causes of dissention among men. People fight over their religious beliefs, and it is a cause of hatred. A man's religious belief is his own business. Why should I hate a man because he don't believe as I do. We are ruled by a spirit of hatred, intolerance and stupidity. The example of Christ nailed to the cross and elevated between two thieves, who forgave his persecutors and prayed, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do," is lost in these days of jealousies and sectionalism. "There are two things I find in California," said the speaker, "that are excelled by no state in the Union. That is your public schools and your highways. I have been surprised at the magnificent school buildings I have observed everywhere, and your boulevards have no equal in the United States. But California is lacking in one thing—that is manufacturing establishments. Why don't you build factories and make the goods you consume, thereby furnishing employment for your people? As an instance of your short-sightedness you are shipping millions of dollars worth of hides to Boston each year where they are made into shoes and returned to you at from six to twelve dollars a pair, when all this profit might have been kept in your own state. There is where you are making your great mistake. You are relying altogether on the products of your soil and neglecting the advantages you would derive from manufacturing industries." Mr. Fletcher, whose hobby is town and community building, was enthusiastic over the spirit of progress he noted here in Anaheim. The paved streets, the ornamental lights and the beautiful new buildings were commented upon and he was particularly impressed.

F. Conway of the Santa Fe have talked on different occasions. Last week the luncheon was held on Friday instead of Thursday, as the speaker, Thomas Brooks Fletcher, engaged by Toastmaster Krause, sent word that he could not be present on the appointed day. Mr. Fletcher is on a lecture tour throughout the west, his subject being cooperation and community building. Two hundred ladies and gentlemen were present, the cafe being filled to its full capacity. Mr. Fletcher is editor of the Marion, Ohio, Tribune, a democratic paper of that city. He has delivered a number of lectures in Southern California and at Monrovia recently stirred up considerable feeling by his criticism of religious revival meetings. The speaker began his address by saying that wherever he had journeyed in Southern California he had heard Anaheim highly spoken of as a beautiful city, and he was glad to find that the encomiums were not overdrawn. "There is only one place that I ever heard of that can make any pretensions to compare with Anaheim, and that has passed out of existence. It's name was Eden. The only difference between Eden and Anaheim is that there was one tree of unpalatable fruit growing in the former, and there was also a snake. Anaheim has neither." The subject of Mr. Fletcher's address was cooperation. The average small town, he declared, was suffering from a disease which would prove fatal if it was not checked. That disease was individualism, selfishness and petty jealousy. "The animosity between the town people and the farming people does not exist in Southern California to the extent it does in the East, and it is dying out there. When I was a boy on a farm the feeling between the town boys and the country boys was so strong that we only dared go to town in gangs and then were compelled to carry our pockets full of Irish confetti which, interpreted, means brickbats. This spirit of jealousy, intolerance and animosity is dying out, but there is still room for improvement. There are certain people in Southern California who will spend their money in Los Angeles, there are people in Los Angeles who will send to New York for the things they could purchase at home, and a large number of New Yorkers will buy kept in your own state. There is where you are making your great mistake. You are relying altogether on the products of your soil and neglecting the advantages you would derive from manufacturing industries." Mr. Fletcher, whose hobby is town and community building, was enthusiastic over the spirit of progress he noted here in Anaheim. The paved streets, the ornamental lights and the beautiful new buildings were commented upon and he was particularly impressed with the fact that the property owners on West Center street were cutting off the fronts of their buildings in order to widen the street and doing it voluntarily. That was a revelation to him. BURKE RETURNS FROM LEGISLATIVE SESSION Will Endeavor to Get Tri-County Flood Control Bill Through Assemblyman J. C. Burke returned to his home at Santa Ana Saturday from Sacramento. He states the present legislature is tame, but the number of bills introduced are up to the average, numbering 2700. Some of the members have introduced over one hundred bills, he himself being responsible for seventeen. He will endeavor to get through a tri-county flood bill which will enable Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties to bridle the Santa Ana river. He also favors an appropriation of $150,000 for the proposed agricultural college at Riverside. Burke stayed at Sacramento until a late hour Friday, in order to introduce a bill concerning game birds and game animals reared in captivity. L. A. West, District Attorney, is the author of the bill, which provides as follows: That all game birds and animals reared in captivity shall be considered domesticated stock, and the owners and raisers may keep, sell or ship them and dispose of them in any way they see fit. Permits to raise such game, and to sell same, shall be given by the Fish & Game Commission, and at the time of sale, any bird or beast so sold shall be marked by a metal tag, which is to be provided by the commission at exact cost, which is to be no more than one-half of one cent. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hamler, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hamler and their small Kern sued for the ground of failure in the city January 18, 1918 and placed in jail on the ground that coming language up over a stolen possession of the Kern claimed with the identity refused to turn upon it, it was test wrotth and sas things about that that he was pro Kellenberger plan and called Depu in placing him in a cell for a when his brother check for $10, as ball money bw was released.

This spirit of jealousy, intolerance and animosity is dying out, but there is still room for improvement. There are certain people in Southern California who will spend their money in Los Angeles, there are people in Los Angeles who will send to New York for the things they could purchase at home, and a large number of New Yorkers will buy only in "Gay Paree." If people would spend their money at home they would have an opportunity of putting salt on the tails of those dollars again, but if they are sent abroad the chance is lost to them forever." The unorganized small town, he declared, is absolutely doomed. All of them have their merchants' associations, but these organizations appear to exist merely for the purpose of figuring up credit slates or trying to collect outstanding bills. They are making no effort to extend business or to attempting to induce people to do their trading with them. "You have got to be good to people in this 20th century if you do business with them. The postmaster could tell you of numerous mail orders going out of your town for goods that should be purchased at home if the law permitted him to do so," he said. A town, he said, is frequently divided against itself by imaginary lines. A stream of water or a street may divide it into north and south or east and west sections. "I lectured in a town once that was divided against itself by an imaginary line. There was a Methodist church in one section that cost one hundred thousand dollars and was large enough to save all the souls in the town, but the people of the rival section refused to attend it and built another one, equally as beautiful, of course. I spoke in one of the churches and only three persons from the op- Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hamler, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hamler and their small daughter, were visiting friends at Hollywood Sunday. O. H. Renner, wife and son, and Miss Alice Robinson were visiting friends in Riverside Sunday. Manuel Bombela, once sentenced to be hanged, is again seeking the governor's clemency. March 31, 1912, at a Mexican dance at Los Alamitos, he stabbed and killed Apolonio Valles, and for that the jury brought in a verdict of guilty in murder in the first degree. Sentence of death followed. Soon after Bombela was taken to the prison, new evidence was secured and presented to the governor, with the result that sentence of death was commuted to life imprisonment. Recently Bombela has again applied to the governor for clemency. It is understood here that Bombela is seeking either a pardon or the reduction of his sentence to a short term. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hartung, Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Brunn, Miss Dora Zeyn and Johnny and Jimmy Holcomb went out to Forest Home Saturday afternoon, returning Sunday evening. They encountered plenty of snow in the mountain region. Miss Jeannette Jessurun was visiting in Los Angeles Saturday.

B. KERN AGAINST CITY MARSHAL KELLENBERGER DEPUTY PHIL GERMANN ABSOLVED FROM BLAME IN PLACING KERN IN CITY JAIL Although the case occupied four days in superior court last week the trouble between City Marshal Kellenberger and F. B. Kern has not yet been settled, the jurymen at 11:20 o'clock Friday night reporting to Judge West that they could not agree on a verdict. The jury was therefore discharged and a new trial set for Monday, April 16. Deputy Phil Germann, who was also a defendant in the case, was speedily absolved by the jury, as it was shown he was acting under the direction of his superior officer, but the jury stood seven to five in favor of Kern in his complaint against Marshal Kellenberger, but all were opposed to granting damages of any considerable amount. Kern sued for $12,500 damages on the ground of false arrest and incarceration in the city jail without cause. On January 18, 1915, Kern was arrested and placed in jail by the two officers on the ground that he was using unbecoming language. The trouble came up over a stolen bicycle which was in possession of the marshal, and which ing bill before a senate sub committee, which will conclude its hearings this week, when Maj-Gens. Scott and Wood are to be recalled for cross-examination by Senator Blair Lee of Maryland on their previous statements that Federalization of the National Guard has proved a failure. It is not expected that congress will take any action on the universal training bill at this session. The navy bill carries a total of $351,433,245 as against $313,000,000 last year. It provides for the construction of three 42,000 ton battleships at a cost of $28,178,592 each; one battle cruiser at a cost of $26,694,496; three scout cruisers at $6,746,145 each; fifteen destroyers for $1,748,612 each; one destroyer tender at $2,808,000; one submarine tender at $2,199,400; and 18 500-ton type submarines at $1,434,083 each. The program is that recommended by the department, and represents one half of the remaining portion of the three year program approved last year. The committee departed from the department's recommendations only in the type of submarines provided for. No small coast defense submarines are authorized, the committee having decided against the small 400 to 600 ton type of boat, such as those now in service. Taking up the problem of getting under construction the four battle cruisers authorized last year, the committee raised the limit of cost for hull and machinery to $19,000,000 from $16,000,000. Department officials believe that all four vessels can be placed with private bldders at that figure. The committee also heeded, however, Secretary Daniels' recommendations that navy yards be fitted to build large numbers of capital ships, authorizing the expenditure of an additional $12,000,000 for that purpose in the event Local Notes Director McClung of the Continental Film company, with a number of actors and actresses, was in Anaheim Saturday taking the last scenes in "Opportunity." This would have completed the film, but it was discovered that a picture of the Capistrano mission was defective, consequently they went down to the mission town Tuesday to take another. "Opportunity" will be presented in a short time at the Mason and as it will be a local story and have local people in it the play should be popular. Truman C. Griggs died at his home on South street Sunday afternoon at the age of 78 years. Mr. Griggs is the father of Clinton Griggs of this city and A. E. Griggs, who formerly lived here but whose home is now at Sierra Madre. He also leaves two daughters, Mrs. Everett and Mrs. Crane. Funeral was held at Back & Terry's Tuesday at 2:30. Rev. C. R. Messias conducting the services. The body was shipped east for interment. Three hundred cords of gumwood are to be taken to Pasadena from Garden Grove by auto truck. Three trucks with trailers are used, passing through this city early every morning, returning in the evening, making one round trip a day. The employees of the Pinal Dome Refining company gave a chicken dinner one night last week in honor of Earl Johnson, who is to be married the latter part of the month. After the dinner the party took in the minstrel show at the New Grand. Miss Elva Stark, who is attending a girl's school in Los Angeles and a Kern sued for $12,500 damages on the ground of false arrest and incarceration in the city jail without cause. On January 18, 1915, Kern was arrested and placed in jail by the two officers on the ground that he was using unbecoming language. The trouble came up over a stolen bicycle which was in possession of the marshal, and which Kern claimed was his. Not satisfied with the identification Kellenberger refused to turn it over to him whereupon, it was testified, that Kern grew wroth and said uncomplimentary things about the marshal, intimating that he was prejudiced against him. Kellenberger placed him under arrest and called Deputy Germann to assist in placing him in jail. He remained in a cell for a fraction of an hour, when his brother appeared with a check for $10, which was accepted as bail money by the marshal and he was released. Kern was subsequently tried in the recorder's court and acquitted. He then filed suit against Kellenberger and Germann, claiming $12,500 damages for false imprisonment. Three or four times the date was fixed for the trial, but each time it was thrown out on a technical point, finally coming up last week, two years after the occurrence. The jury lost no time in freeing Phil Germann, but could not agree as to whether or not Kellenberger had overstepped his authority. However they all agreed that in case a decision was given the plaintiff the damage allowed should be small. They discussed sums ranging from 50 cents to $50. Kern was represented by Attorney G. L. Keefer of Los Angeles, while H. G. Ames defended Kellenberger and A. E. Koepsel appeared for Germann. GARAGES BEING LISTED The latest move toward the apprehension of motor car thieves, is the listing by every sheriff's office in the state, of the garages in the county where the office is located. The lists are sent to Sacramento, and to the auto clubs of the state. As soon as a theft is reported, every garage in the district, and along the routes of travel out of that district, is to be notified of the crime, and a strict lookout is to be maintained. Under Sheriff Maxwell's list construction the four battle crusiers authorized last year, the committee raised the limit of cost for hull and machinery to $19,000,000 from $16,000,000. Department officials believe that all four vessels can be placed with private bidders at that figure. The committee also heeded, however, Secretary Daniels' recommendations that navy yards be fitted to build large numbers of capital ships, authorizing the expenditure of an additional $12,000,000 for that purpose in the event that the department is unable to make satisfactory contracts for any vessel in the present bill or left over from the preceeding measure. This would make available a total of $18,000,000 for equipping navy yards. For the three scout cruisers still awaiting satisfactory bids, the committee raised the cost for hull and machinery to $6,000,000 from $5,000,000. One vessel was ordered from the Seattle Construction company some months ago at the lower figure, but no other bids were received. Another new provision of the bill raises the number of appointments annually at Annapolis to the made from the enlisted personnel of the navy from 25 to 100. Appointments may be made whenever vacancies occur. The new battleships will be the most powerful war vessels ever built. They will have a speed of 23 knots and carry main batteries of 12 16-inch guns each instead of the eight 16-inch guns on the four authorized last year. FAMILY OVERCOME BY CARBON MONOXIDE Sycamore Street Household Near Death From the Deadly Poison Dr. J. W. Truxaw was hastily summoned to a residence on Sycamore street some days ago where persons, it was reported, had been taken suddenly ill. He found the entire family, consisting of husband, wife and two children, in convulsions and vomiting profusely. Instantly recognizing the symptoms as those of carbon monoxide poisoning the doctor administered remedies and soon had them out of danger. The poisonous gas came from a water heater which is used to warm the bath. The lady of the house had prepared a bath and was overcome by the fumes after getting into the tub. With difficulty she got out and made construction the four battle crusiers authorized last year, the committee raised the limit of cost for hull and machinery to $19,000,000 from $16,000,000.

The lists are sent to Sacramento, and to the auto clubs of the state. As soon as a theft is reported, every garage in the district, and along the routes of travel out of that district, is to be notified of the crime, and a strict lookout is to be maintained. Under Sheriff Maxwell's list comprises 62 garages in Orange county and may include more later, due to the fact that all of the names may not yet have been reporter to the office. As now listed, Santa Ana has 18; Anaheim, 11; Fullerton 8; Orange 5; Newport 4; Tustin 2; La Habra 2; Laguna Beach 2; Huntington Beach 2; San Juan Capistrano 2; Garden Grove, Seal Beach, Olive, Westminster, Brea and Placentia, each 1. Garages throughout the county are requested to send in firm names and places of business in order that the office may check its work. APPROPRIATIONS FOR DEFENSE The $800,000,000 defense budget began to take final shape in Congress Monday, when the house passed the fortifications bill carrying a total of more than $51,000,000 for coast defenses and the house naval committee completed its 1918 naval appropriation bill with a total of more than $351,000,000. The army appropriation bill, the third element of the program, still is in the house military committee, which is expected to accept it next week. Estimates for the army reach a total of more than $360,000,000, exclusive of numerous deficiency measures resulting from the border mobilization and the rising cost of war materials. Th only other military legislation pending is the universal military train-ly, consisting of husband, wife and two children, in convulsions and vomiting profusely. Instantly recognizing the symptoms as those of carbon monoxide poisoning the doctor administered remedies and soon had them out of danger. The poisonous gas came from a water heater which is used to warm the bath. The lady of the house had prepared a bath and was overcome by the fumes after getting into the tub. With great difficulty she got out and made her way to the door and called her husband. He rushed in and was speedily overcome by the gas, but managed to summon aid. When Dr. Truxaw reached the scene he found all four members of the family suffering agony and in a serious condition. This is an exactly parallel case with one at Orange ten days ago when Freddy Rurrup lost his life and the four other members of the family were saved only by prompt action on the part of the physicians. Officials and doctors throughout the county are recommending that all gas heaters be fitted with a vent pipe, which would carry off the carbon monoxide gas. Trustees of the various cities should adopt ordinances compelling people who burn natural gas to take this precaution against the deadly poison. An action in bankruptcy has been taken against the Sweet Shop, located in the Cassou building. The store was closed some time ago by Marshal Kellenberger, following an action for execution. Dr. M. M. Handerson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. E. R. Barmes and wife and Tom Ingram and wife went up to Los Angeles Saturday evening and attended the Morosco theatre.

Matinee 2:30 NO INCREASE IN PRICES All Seats 10-15c. would hold four session in two years, and others want a smaller body to be continually in session. Others would limit each member to introduction of five measures of his own get up, not counting appropriation bills, and a great many people would be glad if it did not meet over once in five years. The recommendations of the budget committee are $3,429,836 more than two years ago, or a flat increase of 17½ per cent, showing taxeaters demands increase faster than population. This would raise per capita taxation from $12.17 to $14.30, or $72.50 for the average family of five. Of course, reformers say most of it is paid by corporations. The state board of control has been generous with all sections of the state and given itself a slice of pork, increasing its own appropriation $62,330, making a total of $228,450 for its services. The immigration and housing commission gets $90,000, an increase of $30,000, and as boards and commissions go has well earned its increased emoluments, having prepared a bill to bar dogs and cats from apartment houses. The railroad commission gets an incerase of $37,000, and with its fees will probably have well up to $400,000 to $500,000 a year to expend. PATRIA Did you see the opening chapters of "Patria" at the New Grand last week? If you didn't you failed to see the beginning of one of the greatest serials ever screened. It is a story of patriotism and preparedness in which Mrs. Vernon Castle plays the part of Patria, the heroine. Japanese and Mexican secret service men are endeavoring to steal a fund of one hundred million dollars collected for preparedness purposes by a wealthy munitions manufacturer, the father of Patria. By the death of her father the young lady becomes the guardian of it, and she and Capt. Parr of the U.S. army have a strenuous time keeping it out of the clutches of the wily Jap and the treacherous Mexican spy. Every reel of the story is thrilling. It will be shown every Friday and Saturday night and at the Saturday matinee.
