CAPT. STERN WILL DRILL HOME GUARD MEETING CALLED FOR CITY HALL ON FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 18 OFFICERS TO BE ELECTED WHEN ALL MEMBERS OF COMPANY ARE PRESENT Captain Herman Stern, formerly head of Company E, will act as drill master for the Anaheim home guard. He was unanimously elected at the meeting called by the committee on organization at the board of trade rooms Monday night. Captain Stern is well versed in the tactics, and will make an admirable drill master. A meeting has been called for Friday evening, May 18, at the city hall, where all who have signed up, and all who wish to enroll as defenders of their homes, their possessions and themselves are expected to be present. stolen goods. It is alleged by Harry Botsford, of the Puente Oil company, that Ashley has been getting his oil and gasoline from certain truck drivers employed by the oil company, and has been paying them a lower rate than that at which the other dealers can buy. The drivers, including one named Quackenbush, are now in jail in Los Angeles, charged with stealing the company's property. Ashley was taken to Santa Ana by officers and has been released on $1000 bail, which was providd by E. E. Proud, who was the former owner of the service station. It is the contention of the defendant that he did not know the oil was stolen. LONG DRAWN OUT SUIT IS FINALLY DISMISSED Action to Recover on Note Secured by Fraud Falls The very last document in a case that has occupied a lot of court attention in the last six years was filed Monday morning, and the action of C.

The company may be organized and officers elected at this meeting. At any rate the drill master will begin his work of transforming raw material into disciplined fighters. Mr. Stern objected to teh proposal to elect officers Monday night. He thought it best to wait until the boys were present and let each have a voice. Secretary Whitaker read the following communication which he had received from the adjutant general: Sacramento, April 27, 1917. Mr. J. H. Whitaker, Sec'y.. Anaheim Board of Trade, Anaheim, California. Dear Sir: In response to your communication of the 12th instant, this office begs to advise you that until such time as the State Council of Defense may have reached a decision upon the matters relating to the organization of home guard, this office will be in no position to give official information regarding same. The same information applies to your request regarding arms and equipment, and in addition I beg to advise you that at present writing we have no arms and equipment that can be used other than by recognized units of the state. Very respectfully, J. J. BORREE, Brig. Gen. N. G. C. By HERBERT R. FAY, Lt. Col. N. G. C. Asst. to the Adjt. Genl. The meeting was called by the committee on orgainzation appointed at the previous meeting. W. S. Bernard was the chairman, the other members being P. H. Krick, A. Bayliss, C. S. Troutman and W. E. Hauser. After hearing the adjutant general's letter there was considerable discussion as to the advisability of forming the organization, but as everybody appeared to be of one mind it was decided to proceed. City Marshal Kellenberger said he could see no obstacle in the Action to Recover on Note Secured by Fraud Fails The very last document in a case that has occupied a lot of court attention in the last six years was filed Monday morning, and the action of C. E. Gault against J. D. Wiens is now legal history. It was one of a number of cases brought in Orange county as a result of the plundering operations of William J. Martens of Hillsboro, Kan. Martens claimed to have title to a lot of land in Kern county, and he sold and traded part of that land to a number of Orange county farmers, among many others. After Martens ran the length of the rope some of the farmers sued for and recovered title to their lands. J. D. Wiens of Anaheim gave Martens a note for $1500. Martens put that note up with others totaling $16,000 for a loan with a Topeka bank. When-Martens became a fugitive, the bank sold the security to Gault, and among other actions was one brought by Gault against Wiens to collect on the note. The superior court gave Gault judgment. Attorneys Melrose & Ames took an appeal, and the supreme court held that since the note was secured by fraud, and therefore was worth nothing while Martens owned it, and was put up as security for what it was worth, therefore it did not attain value when sold at auction to a buyer who knew the circumstances. A dismissal was filed Monday, closing the case. MILITARY TRENCHES AT THROOP POLYTECHNIC All the Modern Devices of War to be Taught at Training Camp Men who attend the Throop military training camp at Pasadena, that opens on May 17 for three months, will live in trenches, engage in trench warfare and learn to ropel trench attacks, it was announced by Captain Louis R. Ball, in command of the camp. The camp will be as nearly as possible like "somewhere in France", and the training activities will take the men all over Southern California in field operations. "The first month's work in camp will consist mainly of intensive infantry training," Captain Ball stated. "Much attention will be given to military discipline, as correct military detail in all its branches has been shown to absolutely indispensable on the dustrial problems was Channing Follette's advice board of trade luncheon subject was "Industrial Follette belongs to the Southern California, and many laurel wreathes are announced that he is and is not preaching to socialism, but he argues Federal law controlling ship between industries,ployees, and fixing them the laborer should reidence that the government power to so act he police settlement of the threat strike, when Congress is in and passed the Adam ended the trouble.

W. S. Bernard was the chairman, the other members being P. H. Krick, A. Bayliss, C. S. Troutman and W. E. Hauser. After hearing the adjutant general's letter there was considerable discussion as to the advisability of forming the organization, but as everybody appeared to be of one mind it was decided to proceed. City Marshal Kellenberger said he could see no obstacle in the way of forming a company. District Attorney West had announced that the boys could not drill on the streets of incorporated cities, but they could drill on roads outside the city limits, or on private grounds—for instance the high school grounds. Eloquent speeches in favor of the organization were also made by Herman Stern, Secretary Whitaker, W. E. Hauser, Dean Hasson, Henry Adams and others. Mr. Stern said a state organization could not be formed unless all the men were enlisted, but we could form a local company. All the towns of Orange county have organized and we should follow suit. While it is not possible to obtain guns at the present time the boys could drill with wooden guns and learn the manual of arms. While the young men will not attend meetings there will be no difficulty in getting them out to drill. Nearly fifty men have already signed the roll, and scores of others will add their names. Captain Stern will meet with the boys at the city hall Friday evening, May 18, and arrangements will be made for the regular drill. Uncle Sam's age limits will cut no ice in these enlistments. CHARGED WITH BUYING STOLEN OIL A complaint has been sworn to against L. Ashley, proprietor of a service station at La Habra, for receiving Ball, in command of the camp. The camp will be as nearly as possible like "somewhere in France", and the training activities will take the men all over Southern California in field operations. "The first month's work in camp will consist mainly of intensive infantry training," Captain Ball stated. "Much attention will be given to military discipline, as correct military detail in all its branches has been shown to be absolutely indispensable on the modern battlefield. "The real work at the camp will start at the beginning of the second month. It is our plan to take the student right into the trenches and trench warfare. He will live in the trenches, eat in the trenches and sleep in the trenches, repelling attacks and making attacks and engaging in bombing, trench raiding, bayonet charging, underground mining—just as he would if he were somewhere in France. "Mines will be exploded and bridges destroyed and sapping camoufllets will be constructed. Everything but the actual hum of bullets in the air will surround the training camp. "Cavalry work will include field operations all over Southern California as well as class work embracing the subjects of hippology and equitation under the personal direction of cavalry officers. "It is our desire to turn out graduates who will be acceptable as regular officers. Tents are already being placed and the examining board is now accepting applications at the military training camp headquarters, 749 South Spring street." Mrs. Mary Etchandy died at her home in Yorba Linda Thursday at the age of 54. Funeral was held Saturday at the Yorba church, Rev. Father Dubble officiating.

His subject was "Industrial Warfare." Mr. Follette belongs to the University of Southern California, and has won many laurel wreathes as a debater. He announced that he is not a socialist, and is not preaching the doctrine of socialism, but he argued in favor of a Federal law controlling the relationship between industries and their employees, and fixing the compensation. The court is asked to order that the furniture of the place be taken out and sold by the sheriff at auction, court costs to be paid and the residue turned over to the women who owned the furniture and who had a lease on the rooming house. The court is also asked to decree that the rooming house shall be closed for one year. POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE JOINED IN WEDLOCK Joseph Lieb and Miss Anna Germann Married at St. Boniface Church Tuesday Morning Joseph A. Lieb and Miss Elizabeth Germann were married at St. Boniface church, at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, Rev. Father F. J. Dubbel officiating. Bernard Stoffel was best man and his sister, Miss Anna Stoffel was bridesmaid. Only relatives and intimate friends were present. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The bride wore a trousseau of crepe de chine covered with white lace, with a veil of orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet. The bridesmaid wore a beautiful creation of white organdy, and carried a bouquet of Cecil Brunner roses. At the conclusion of the marriage ceremony the wedding breakfast was held on the home of the groom. ENTERTAINMENT FOR OLD AND YOUNG CHAUTAUQUA BRINGS MANY FA-MOUS MEN AND WOMEN TO ANAHEIM OPENED YESTERDAY WITH THE ALTHEA PLAYERS AND LEC-TURE BY LOU BEAU-CHAMP Undoubtedly the greatest treat ever offered the people of Anaheim and its vicinity is the Redpath-Horner Chautauqua which opened here in a large center on West Center street yesterday afternoon, and will continue until Tuesday night. The best available talent in the United States is on the program, and everything presented during the seven days' entertainment is high class. The chief attraction on the program, of course, is Hon. William Jennings Bryan, from the fact that he is one of the world's most brilliant orators, and one of America's best known men. dustrial problems was the burden of Channing Follette's address at the board of trade luncheon Thursday. His subject was "Industrial Warfare." Mr. Follette belongs to the University of Southern California, and has won many laurel wreathes as a debater. He announced that he is not a socialist, and is not preaching the doctrine of socialism, but he argued in favor of a Federal law controlling the relationship between industries and their employees, and fixing the compensation the laborer should receive. As evidence that the government had the power to so act he pointed to speedy settlement of the threatened railroad strike, when Congress hastily stepped in and passed the Adamson law which ended the trouble. The strike, he said, would have been a national calamity, but the government stepped in and compelled a settlement, and the supreme court held the law to constitutional. This decision confirmed the government in its power to control the relationships between the employer and employee. One thing is certain, he said, we cannot rely upon present conditions to settle industrial affairs. We cannot rely on strikes to settle disputes between capital and labor in a just and equitable manner, as the strike merely ends in a victory for the side that is able to hold out the longest. A strike is a private warfare and why should the laboring man be compelled to resort to private war to enforce his rights? When a disagreement exists between partners in a business and they are unable to make a mutual agreement they take the matter into court where the question is settled. They don't fight it out between themselves in a private war in which the strongest is sure to win. The employer and his employees are co-partners and their dispute should be taken into court in like manner and the rights of each defined. He advocated a law decreeing that all industrial institutions submit their books to a court or a commission at stated intervals showing the profits of the business, and the compensation of the workmen should be fixed by the court or commission in accordance with these figures. Labor and capital are co-partners in every industry, and a just division of the profits derived from the partnership should be made. Under the present laws and system in efforts to adjust disputes by strikes, it is might that always wins and the intimate friends were present. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The bride wore a trousseau of crepe de chine covered with white lace, with a veil of orange blossoms, and carried a shower bouquet. The bridesmaid wore a beautiful creation of white organdy, and carried a bouquet of Cecil Brunner roses. At the conclusion of the marriage ceremony the wedding breakfast was served at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. D. Lieb, at 207 North Claudina street. Later in the day the newlyweds left for a brief honeymoon trip, and upon their return will reside at 207 North Claudina. The bride is a daughter of Frank Germann of Chicago, and a sister of Phil Germann of this city. Mr. Lieb for many years has held a responsible position in the electric department of the city. Many beautiful and costly presents were received by the bride and groom, and they were recipients of hearty congratulations. ANAHEIM LADY TEACHER BECOMES A BRIDE Miss Clara Munger and William Silva Wedded Friday Evening Miss Clara Munger, one of the teachers at teh Broadway school, and William Silva of Fullerton, were married at the home of the bride's parents at Irvine Friday evening. After the wedding they left on a flying trip of two days, going as far north as Santa Barbara. Miss Munger has been living at the Mann apartments, and the couple have engaged housekeeping rooms there. On their return at nion Sunday they found that the ladies who reside in the apartments had handsomely decorated the place for their reception. A number of placards with appropriate inscriptions, adorned the porch and the rooms. A bottle half full of liquor was exposed, and a placard beside it read, "Never again for Bill. The head of the family belongs to the W. C. T. U." The bride is one of Anaheim's popular school teachers, and the groom is purchasing agent for the Bastanchury ranch. They will make their home in Anaheim, at least until school closes. BLINDED BY LIGHTS Alerander Irvine, fresh from the blood stained fields of Europe, will lecture Saturday morning. The Redpath-Horner company dug him out of the trenches in France and brought him over here to join the circuit. Just as six months' work with letters and cablegrams in an endeavor to locate him was about to be pronounced without result, a cablegram came from the man, saying he had come over to London from the trenches and accepted the program. He left there in April for America to bring to Chautauqua audiences some of the stirring and touching stories of the tragedy across the seas. Other noted lecturers are William Rainey Bennett, Edward Amherst Ott, and Ex-Gov. Malcolm R. Patterson of Tennessee. Mr. Bennett will lecture Tuesday night. The best available talent in the United States is on the program, and everything presented during the seven days' entertainment is high class. The chief attraction on the program, of course, is Hon. William Jennings Bryan, from the fact that he is one of the world's most brilliant orators, and one of America's best known men. Mr. Bryan used to make democratic speeches on the platform and three times was his party's candidate for presidency. He was also chief among the pacifists during the diplomatic controversies with Mexico and Germany, but since we have been forced into the European whirlpool of war he is heart and soul behind the government and has offered himself to the president to serve in any capacity in which he can be found useful. He is not a politician nor a pacifist now, he is just a patriotic American citizen. Another of the lecturers whose reputation is nation-wide is Brooks Fletcher. It is not announced what his subject will be as he doesn't know. On arrival in a town he sizes up the situation, inventories the people, then chooses his subject and gives the lecture a local color. Mr. Fletcher spoke at the business men's luncheon here some months ago, and it is safe to predict that everyone of the two hundred persons who heard him on that occasion will hear him again tonight unless prevented by circumstances over which they have no control.

Dr. McFarlane is named as defendant, he being owner of the property. Action is based upon the Red Light Abatement Act, this being the first occasion in which it has been used in this county. Last week three places at Anaheim were raided, and women were arrested. The complaint filed by Koepsel states that Dr. McFarlane owns the building at 116 West Chartres street, and that a rooming house located there was found to be a public nuisance as outlined in the abafement act. Blinded by the bright headlights of an approaching automobile on the curve on the coast highway, half a mile south of Aliso creek, a party of Anaheim automobilists, including two women, two children and two men, drove over a steep embankment and were crushed and cut beneath the wreckage of the car. The accident occurred as the party was returning from a picnic in Trabuco canyon. Several fatal or near fatal accidents have occurred there in the last two years. Fred Keller, who was driving, was the worst injured. His wife and Mrs. Frank McAuley were taken to Santa Ana hospital unconscious from internal hurts. Frank McAuley and Mr. and Mrs. Keller's little son were not seriously injured, but Mr. and Mrs. McAuley's four-year-old son was badly bruised. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bonkosky entertained a number of friends one evening last week. Cards were played and refreshments served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Anton Klewer, Mr. and Mrs. William Trapp, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. William Junge, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Levek, Mr. and Mrs. William Levek, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Heitschusen, Mr. and Mrs. William Black and E. Stranske. The bride is one of Anaheim's popular school teachers, and the groom is purchasing agent for the Bastanchury ranch. They will make their home in Anaheim, at least until school closes. BLINDED BY LIGHTS Other noted lecturers are William Rainey Bennett, Edward Amherst Ott, and Ex-Gov. Malcolm R. Patterson of Tennessee. Mr. Bennett will lecture tomorrow (Friday) evening, Mr. Ott Sunday afternoon and Mr. Patterson Monday night. These men are among the foremost speakers in the United States, and if you fail to hear either of them you will miss a rare treat. But the Chautauqua presents other features besides oratory. There is music, comedy, drama and recitations all of a high order. "Little Women" will be presented on the program Saturday night with appropriate scenery by fourteen players, including nearly all of the same capable cast as presented the play during its unrivaled success in New York and other large cities of the country. This drama is an attraction to be compared with the opera Pinafore and each is distinctly to be classed as among the most expensive, elaborate and successful attractions ever seen on a Chautauqua program. The play will be produced under the direction of William J. Keighley. There are fourteen people in the cast, each one selected because of a special fitness for the part to be played. The costumes and scenes of the Civil war period will give the play a setting that is a marvel for detail and accuracy. The company carries its own stage settings and scenery, which are faithful to those used in the original production. Several years ago Gilbert & Sullian's opera, "Her Majesty's Ship," out result, a cablegram came from the man, saying he had come over to London from the trenches and accepted the program.

The Pinafore company which comes to Chautauqua is the largest and most expensive organization ever brought to any Chautauqua. The company carries a car of special scenery and properties. There is an orchestra with Harry Manderville as conductor. There are principals of national reputation, including Marie Horgan, Howard Marsh, Harry Luckstone, Arthur Pacfe Ripple and Karl Stall. Each of these principals has appeared in the most noted operas and in the largest cities of the world. The chorus is composed of fine, clean young men and women with good voices, trained by experts. The Chautauqua tents and dressing rooms and platform had to be enlarged and made especially to order this season to accommodate the large number of players and the elaborate scenery. Pinafore winds up the Chautauqua, as it will be given Tuesday evening. If you have ever seen "Little Buttercup" you want to see her again. If you never have seen her don't miss this opportunity.

A committee of nine was appointed to take the matter up with the irrigation companies, Orange county members of the committee being H. W. Lewis, H. H. Hale and E. E. Beazley. Attorney E. E. Keech, who attended the meeting is authority for the statement that Orange county companies will have no surplus water, and hence the plan will not directly benefit this locality. A resolution was also adopted asking that manufacture of liquor be prohibited during the war as a conservation measure. The resolution asking patriotic action by the water companies, introduced by Mr. Keech, was as follows: Whereas, our country is engaged in the most stupendous world war of all history; and, Whereas, a utilization of its entire resources, especially of food products, is imperatively required for the speedy and successful conclusion of the contests in its favor; and, Whereas, in order that California may do her part, at the suggestion of the council of defense for the state, the railroad commission and water commission of the state have presented and the legislature has passed an act whereby, during the continuance of the war, persons and mutual water companies may safely furnish to others than stockholders water for irrigation without thereby becoming public utilities subject to the jurisdiction of the railroad commission, or rendering themselves liable to continue such service after the period agreed upon; and, Whereas, said commissions and legislature have referred the matter of such supply of outsiders to the water companies and citizens of the state interested therein for voluntary and patriotic co-operation in bringing about the largest possible safe use of water during the war; Therefore, Be It Resolved, by this association that those taking part in this meeting that the water companies and persons supplying water for irrigation in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties may and should during the present irrigation season, GOAT HERDS THRIVE The low foothills which hem in Mentone in the upper San Bernardino valley are ideal for the development of what promises to be a new industry in Southern California, it is stated by those who have made an investigation. There are several small herds of goats in these hills now and they are raised not for the milk, but for their coat of silk wool, which is used in making mohair cloth. It is said that the small herds now are only the forerunners of larger ones that will have the low hills and canyons of the mountains for their grazing ground. There has been a great demand for the wool since so much of it is being used in the manufacture of sweater coats as well as the mohair cloth. High prices are now being paid for the wool and manufacturers say that they will pay a good price for first quality wool. S. Thurman was the first man to realize the possibilities of using the San Bernardino mountains as grazing ground for goat herds and although he has started out in a small way his herd is rapidly growing. He says that it has paid much better than he expected and that it offers a good living for a man who does not have a large amount to invest. The goats thrive in the Upper San Bernardino valley for it is just the kind of country they like best, rocky, with low hills and these are deeply cut with canyons and coulees. It is said that the goats are as hardy as sheep and that they do not destroy the grazing ground as sheep do. In an accident at the bridge between this city and Orange, John Wing, a blacksmith, of Orange, sustained a broken arm and a rather badly cut leg. The car was a stage. A. Duffield, an attache of the Riverside district attorney's office, described the accident by the statement that the car swerved too close to the concrete post at the entrance of the bridge, throwing Wing, who was sitting in the door, against the stone pillar and forcing the car against him. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. There are several big milch goat herds in that section and there is opportunity for more. It has been found that the cream cheese made from the goat milk is very similar in quality and taste to the finest imported Neufchatel. The state university has become so interested that it is preparing a bulletin for the guidance of those who wish to enter this industry.
