Adams said that unless the attendance at the Thursday luncheons improve, he suggested that the holding of the get-to-gether meetings be discontinued. It was suggested that the secretary endeavor to enthuse new life into the functions from an attendance view point. A number of speakers stated that upon previous occasions the "feeds" were very poor and that perhaps was the cause of the falling away in attendance. Fred Greswell of the committee on exhibits, reported receiving some fine Burbank potatoes from A. W. Black of East Anaheim. Ten potatoes weighed 10 pounds, 3 ounces and are among the finest ever raised here. Mr. Black harvested 475 sacks from four acres.

Mr. Eygabroad, chairman of the river protection committee, again suggested that as large a body of citizens as possible be on hand at the meeting of the supervisors to be held June 20, when the formation of the Anaheim-Yorba district is to be acted upon. Some opposition has sprung up in the southwest section, embodying about 200 acres. The people there have secured the services of an attorney and will endeavor to have their lands excluded from the proposed district. It is desired that this city send a representative body of citizens to the meeting and use their efforts looking to the formation of the district. It was ordered that the board of trade rooms be placed at the disposal of the committee, which will meet July 7, for the purpose of formulating plans for the organization of a perpetual care system for the upkeep of the The fifty graduates filed in and took their seats on the stage while Miss Edna Hochull played a march.

MASON THEATRE OPENS TO CROWDED HOUSE New Managers Declare Nothing on the Market Too Good for Their Patrons After being dark for two or three weeks, to the disappointment of many regular patrons, the Mason theatre re-opened Saturday night under new management. The house was filled to its capacity on the opening night, and has shown to big audiences ever since. G. N. Anderson, the former manager expects to return to his former home in San Francisco, and the house has been taken over by Earl Abbey and Joe Collings. Neither of these young men have had experience in the show business—that is, in the management of a show, but they know a good thing when they see it, and they promise that the patrons of the Mason will be given the best that can be procured on the market. The dramas which they will present will be high class, and the comedies will all be clean and unobjectionable. They also are booking feature productions which will be presented periodically. The Mason has always been a popular house, and it will lose none of its popularity while it is managed by Messrs. Abbey and Collings, who declare that nothing but the best will be presented to their patrons. Rev. White of the Methodist church will be chairman of the noon-day luncheon today. A large attendance is desired.

BURGESS, PRINCIPAL OF BROADWAY SCHOOL WAS REMOVED STATEMENTS OF TRUSTEES AND OTHERS INTERESTED DO NOT CORRESPOND Learning that Mrs. J. T. Burgess, who has held the position of principal of the Broadway school for some years, had been removed by the board of trustees a number of patrons of the school held a meeting at the Fremont building Friday afternoon to enquire into the matter and learn the reasons for the dismissal. C. W. F. Daniels, chairman of the board, was present and explained the situation. He said that Mrs. Burgess was removed from the principalship because she had not posed their overtime duty ended when the janitor was on the premises again in the evening. There never was a night, she said, when the little folks had been left alone. She states that the bus sometimes does not reach the school until four o'clock, and on occasions it has been nearly half past four when it arrived for the last load. During the long wait the children play about the grounds and with other children in the neighborhood. She knows of only one occasion when a child was not present when the bus called, and on that occasion the driver declined to wait until it was found. Whether any further steps will be taken in the matter remains to be seen. Many parents think the small children should be picked up and taken to their homes when school is dismissed. They do not believe they should be permitted to remain about the grounds an hour or two after their school duties are ended. LADIES TO MEET AT SANTA ANA CITY HALL Will Organize a Woman's Council of Defense for Orange County A meeting has been called for June 19th at the city hall, Santa Ana, at 2:30 p.m., for the purpose of organ- ANTLERED HERD WILL OBSERVE FLAG DAY PATRIOTIC DOINGS AT FAIRY-LAND TONIGHT UNDER AUS-PICES OF ANAHEIM ELKS JUDGE BENJAMIN F. BLEDSOE OF LOS ANGELES WILL BE THE PRINCIPAL ORATOR Patriotism and loyalty to the flag is the foundation on which the Elks lodge is founded. It is an exclusive American society, its constitution requiring that all members must be loyal citizens of the United States. Today is Flag Day, and the local Elks have made preparations to celebrate it in a fitting manner. They have engaged the Fairyland theatre and arranged a program which will be presented there tonight, and an invitation is extended to everybody to come out and assist them in honoring Old Glory. No admission fee will be charged, the Learning that Mrs. J. T. Burgess, who has held the position of principal of the Broadway school for some years, had been removed by the board of trustees a number of patrons of the school held a meeting at the Fremont building Friday afternoon to enquire into the matter and learn the reasons for the dismissal. C. W. F. Daniels, chairman of the board, was present and explained the situation. He said that Mrs. Burgess was removed from the principalship because she had not obeyed the instructions of the board. The primary school is dismissed at 2:30 o'clock and a number of pupils, who live at a distance, are picked up by the motorbus and taken to their homes. At the Central and Fremont schools the last classes are not dismissed until 3:30, and in order to economize, the pupils from all three schools who have to be hauled to their homes, are loaded in together, consequently at the primary school the pupils were compelled to wait an hour after being dismissed for the arrival of the car. The board, according to Mr. Daniels, ordered that one teacher should remain at the school and herd the little folks on the grounds until they were picked up by the bus. Each teacher, therefore, was to be on duty one extra hour a week, but as they only worked four hours and draw the same pay as the teachers in the higher schools, he did not consider it a hardship. This program was carried out for two weeks when, according to his assertion, Mrs. Burgess informed the teachers it was not necessary for any one to stay after school was dismissed. Consequently the children, without a teacher to restrain them wandered away from the grounds, played on the pavement of Broadway, where numerous automobiles are constantly passing, and were endangering their lives. He further stated that children occasionally could not be found, and their parents were forced to come after them when the bus failed to deliver them at their homes. Mrs. Burgess, he said, was an excellent instructor and had been given one of the grades rather than lose her services as a teacher, but it was necessary to have a principal at the head of the school who would see that the children were kept on the grounds until the bus arrived. Miss Alice Grimshaw was appointed principal. Mr. Daniel's stepson, Arthur Willett, is driver of the machine. He is a LADIES TO MEET AT SANTA ANA CITY HALL Will Organize a Woman's Council of Defense for Orange County A meeting has been called for June 19th at the city hall, Santa Ana, at 2:30 p.m., for the purpose of organizing a Women's Council of Defense for Orange county. All women's organizations, i.e., clubs, lodges, church societies, etc., are asked to send their president, as representative, and all others who wish to attend, to assist in organizing the council. Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana, has been appointed by the State Chairman, Mrs. H. A. Cable of Los Angeles, chairman for Orange county and will preside at the meeting. The purpose of the organization is to co-ordinate the organized forces of the women of the county in order to secure greater efficiency in defense work for the county, state and nation, and also to work in full harmony and cooperation with the men's county council of defense. Each community will be free to work out the details according to its own needs, following only the general plan as outlined as follows: 1. Registration for service. 2. Home relief. 3. Allied relief. 4. Food production, conservation and thrift. 5. Americanization. 6. Labor of women. 7. Child welfare. 8. Publio health. 9. Instruction courses. 10. Protective regulation (recreation. 11. Conservation of moral and spiritual forces. 12. Special committees on Liberty Loan fund. TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE WILL MEET NO MORE Members Will Air Their Grievance by Means of a Pencil Hereafter The members of the Orange County Taxpayers' League at the last session decided that there would be no more meetings of that body. One reason for this movement is that the grounds an hour or two after their school duties are ended. LADIES TO MEET AT SANTA ANA CITY HALL Will Organize a Woman's Council of Defense for Orange County Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe of Los Angeles, has been engaged to make an address on this occasion. Many Anaheim people have had the pleasure of hearing Judge Bledsoe on previous occasions, and they know what to expect. His subject will be patriotism, which is particularly pertinent to present times when the nation is straining every nerve in preparation for war with a foreign foe. The Fairyland should be crowded to its utmost capacity to hear this eloquent orator talk about Old Glory and expound the duty of every citizen in the nation's hour of need. The entire program is not at hand but we are told that Mrs. Ray Fisher and Eddie Backs have both been engaged to sing solos. There are few people in Anaheim who have not heard these gifted singers. They are among the best in the Southland, and will add much to the evening's entertainment. The Anaheim band has also been secured and will render a number of patriotic airs. There will probably be other numbers on the program, but this is sufficient to assure a night of enjoyment. Don't miss is. You will be guests of the long horns who are giving this entertainment in honor of the flag, and are paying all the bills. As an evidence of the patriotism of the Elks the Anahelm lodge at the last meeting subscribed for a thousand dollar Liberty Bond. ANAHEIM REALTY MAN ACCUSED OF FRAUD L. W.

Miss Alice Grimshaw was appointed principal. Mr. Daniel's stepson, Arthur Willett, is driver of the machine. He is a student of the high school and is tied up with his duties until 3:30. Some of the men present suggested that the board hire a chauffer who was free to take home the primary pupils when school was dismissed and return later for the others, but Mr. Daniels explained that it was a matter of economy as under the present system the work was being done for $25 per month, whereas a regular chauffeur would have to be paid for full time. Superintendent Van der Veer also made a statement to the same effect as Chairman Daniels' explanation, and the meeting adjourned without action. The board's explanation, as given by Mr. Daniels, does not accord in all its details with the statements of the committeemen who called the meeting and Mrs. Burgess, the former principal. Mrs. Burgess declines to talk about the matter in detail, but declares that she had never been notified of the order requiring a teacher to remain until the bus driver took charge of the children. The first intimation she had of it was when the teachers were all together and none of them had any knowledge that such an order had been made. Furthermore that neither she, nor any of the teachers, objected to the arrangement if it was the will of the board. During two weeks when the janitor was not present a teacher was left at the school to keep the children in charge until they were taken away, but they sup- TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE WILL MEET NO MORE Members Will Air Their Grievance by Means of a Pencil Hereafter The members of the Orange County Taxpayers' League at the last session decided that there would be no more meetings of that body. One reason for this movement is that the attendance has been constantly dwindling, and in a very short time, it was feared, nobody would attend anyway. Another reason is that President Jackman, who is the inspiration of the body, is ill, tendered his resignation, and declared it would probably be months before he can shed the light of his countenance upon them again. Still another reason is that the newspapers of the county do not treat the league and its deliberations with courtesy and respect. Furthermore the league has purchased space in an Orange county newspaper and it can communicate with the public and make its grievances known through that medium. At Saturday's meeting a motion was introduced denying the admission of a Santa Ana reporter to the meetings because his report of the previous session did not meet with the approval of the members of the league. After some discussion the motion was voted down. Two weeks ago the Gazette announced that the league was tottering on extremely wobbly legs, and apparently was dying of inanition. The prophecy has been fulfilled. It has expired. Requiescat in pace. The First National bank has installed an electric sign which hangs over the sidewalk on the corner of the building. It is an artistic sign and can be seen from every direction. George M. Ross, realty broker of this city was arrested at Los Angeles Monday and arraigned in justice court on a charge of having obtained money from Lewis W. Squires by false pretenses. He is charged with having negotiated a trade between Mr. Squires and C. A. Waterman, in a deal involving 300 acres at Buffalo, Wyo. Squires alleges Ross was interested with Waterman, and that they had previously disposed of part of the land to W. B. Couts of Los Angeles. When Squires sought to secure full title to the entire property, after having made the trade, he said, he was informed of the prior sale of part of the half section of land. He alleges Ross made this prior sale. Ross says he was interested with Waterman in the property but withdrew his interest before the transactions were made. An automobile and a buggy collided at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets Tuesday. The auto was driven by Nathan Lewis of Los Angeles, and the buggy by a Mexican boy. The buggy was shunted twenty feet ahead of the machine, but neither the boy nor the horse was injured. One wheel of the vehicle was broken off and smashed, otherwise it was undamaged. F. C. Krause, Percy Rust and Gerald Simpson came home Saturday from Arizona after a ten day's absence. J. J. Tavis of Santa Ana, local passenger agent of the Salt Lake Railway, was a business visitor in town Monday.

WILLIAM SCHUMACHER PASSES TO THE BEYOND Prominent Business Man Succumbs to A Lingering Illness After an illness extending over a period of many months, William Schumacher died at his home on North Claudina street at 1:15 o'clock Sunday morning. The immediate cause of his death was dropsy, but it was complicated with other diseases. Owing to the peculiar and baffling nature of his ailments an autopsy was decided upon, consequently Drs. Truxaw, Utter and Adams made a post mortem examination Monday morning. They discovered that in addition to dropsy he was suffering from cancer of the lungs, and that his heart had shifted to the right side of his body. Mr. Schumacher spent the greater part of his life in Anaheim. He was born in Germany in 1861 and came to this county ten years later. He was married in 1893 to Miss Maddie Tucker, who survives him, as do also his four children, Misses Etta and Frances, Mrs. Marie Mauerhan, and William Schumacher, Jr. Mr. Schumacher had been in business in Anaheim for sixteen years. He was proprietor of the Palace Meat Market, but a few days before his death, knowing that his end was near, he disposed of the business and arranged his affairs. Suffering as he did from his complication of diseases, death was a welcome relief to him. During his business career he made a wide circle of friends who sincerely grieve over his death. Funeral services were held at legged to hear an interesting address by an officer of the United States navy, who explained many things about that important branch of Uncle Sammy's service that are not generally known. Two weeks ago T. L. McFadden and Captain Gordon talked entertainingly about the aviation corps and made it plain that it was a necessary adjunct to our defensive force. Last Thursday it was announced that an army officer would be present to tell about the land forces, but Toastmaster Martin and Secretary Whitaker were unable to secure a man. Falling to land a military man, Rev. Malcolm C. Martin, the toastmaster, appealed to Prof. S. C. Hartranft for aid and that gentleman came in from his ranch to fill the vacancy. Prof. Hartranft was formerly president of the state university of South Dakota, but he decided that growing oranges on a ranch near Anaheim was a less strenuous job, and there was more profit in it. He has spoken on several occasions here and on various subjects. Unfortunately it was not announced that he was to speak, else the attendance at the luncheon would have been much larger. Citizenship was his subject, and his talk was mainly to the business men. He exhorted them to join hands with the church and introduce modern business methods into that institution which was fifty years behind the progress of the times. He demanded that the business men choose some other day besides Sunday for their recreation and attend the church on Sunday. If they did, he said they would set an example that would eventually be followed by the entire community. The speaker referred to the awful conflict in Europe and pointed to Russia where a state a chaos exists. Such an upheaval might come to the United States he declared, but it would be impossible if all the people affiliated with a church. He referred to the immense industries of the United States that were engineered by business men and said bleeding Europe was now appealing to us for help because of our great resources. If these men would align themselves with the church and introduce business methods into its management Christianity and morality would keep pace with industrial progress. Mr. Hartranft apologized for introducing the subject of religion at the meeting, but explained that the pastor of his church was the toastmaster, and it was necessary to retain his HE REGISTERED Manuel Castro, 22, of El Modena, registered under the draft law Monday morning. He was tickled to death to get the chance. Sunday Constable Logan Jackson of Orange heard that Castro who lives at El Modena, had said he was not registered and did not intend to register. After a conference with the sheriff, the constable arrested Castro, and put him in jail. Monday morning Castro told the sheriff that he had been at work on the Hahn ranch, six miles from Corona, and did not know anything about registration day until after he got home a day or two ago. He did not understand what was required of him. Neither did he know that evasion was a serious affair. He asked that he be allowed to register. His request was granted. He was registered and turned loose. The Eastern Star Five Hundred club met at the home of Mrs. O. W. Clark on the Olive road Thursday afternoon.

Sackett, who owns a ranch covering nearly a section of land in Montana, has received an offer from an oil company which is desirous of securing a lease on it for drilling purposes. Oil has been struck on adjoining property on two sides of him, and it is believed his farm is good oil land. At present the land is in wheat. Should he decide to lease to the company Sackett may soon be in the millionaire class with Rockefeller, Doheny and the rest of the oil magnates.
