LIBERTY BONDS BOOSTED AT THEATRES FOUR MINUTE MEN MAKE CONVINCING TALKS AT NEW GRAND AND FAIRYLAND SPEECHES DELIVERED TUESDAY NIGHT AT FIFTEEN THOUSAND AMERICAN THEATRES Liberty Loan was the subject of the four-minute men at the Anaheim theatre Monday night, two convincing addresses on the subject being made. F. Grant White was the orator at the New Grand and W. R. Garrett of Orange, spoke at the Fairyland. Prof. C. R. Prince spoke at the Colonial theatre at Orange. Following is Mr. White's speech in full: My Dear Friends of Anaheim:— I come before you again this evening to speak on what we call the second drive, namely, the Liberty bonds. Tonight, for the first time, there is flashed upon the screen, by way of introduction, a statement of the auspices under which 15,000 four-minute other $45, than to have one man in this community subscribe $4000, $5000, or $10,000 worth of bonds. It is the common people, the merchant, the butcher, the baker, the laboring man, the candle-stick maker upon whose shoulders the burden of this war must be borne, and I wish to be understood as saying, at this time that no war was ever prosecuted in the history of the world that means more to that very element, and not to the millionaires or the rich than this war, prosecuted by President Wilson, and the constituted authorities of the United States. It may be that the second Liberty loan is not meeting with the response that it should at this time, but since the days when a few men gathered in the old Quaker city of Philadelphia in the Second Commonwealth in this Union, and there offered their lives in a compact that we might be free men from a tyranalical power of the same kind and nature (at that time) that now dominates Germany, the citizens of the United States of America, the good common people, have never failed when they have clearly understood the duty that they were to perform, and so, jocularly speaking for the moment, while it may be the same kind of a hard struggle that the White Sox had, speaking in base ball language, to beat the Giants, they will do their duty just the same. Dr. Hillis, one of the most eminent New Grand and W. R. Garrett of Orange, spoke at the Fairyland. Prof. C. R. Prince spoke at the Colonial theatre at Orange. Following is Mr. White's speech in full: My Dear Friends of Anaheim:— I come before you again this evening to speak on what we call the second drive, namely, the Liberty bonds. Tonight, for the first time, there is flashed upon the screen, by way of introduction, a statement of the auspices under which 15,000 four-minute men are speaking this evening. In each bank in this city of Anaheim tonight, whether it is the German-American, the First National, the Anaheim National or the Southern County Bank, there appears little placards or advertisements which speak louder than words. The bankers are usually, in any community, the men to whom investors go for advice as to their investments, and surely, if all of the bankers of this community did not agree with the speaker, they would not have the latest poster of President Wilson, the quotation on which, I desire to use this evening: "Shall we be more tender with our dollars than we are with our boys," in the windows of their institutions. As I have stated before from this platform, and from the stage of the Fairyland theatre in this city, we are in a cruel and relentless war, and now having reached the second drive, the minute men under instructions, are asking those citizens of the United States of America, who cannot give actual service in the trenches, on the battlefields, or the seas for their country, to loan a little money to this grand, good government of ours. We are finally awakening to the fact that we are in this serious war, a world war, and permit me to say that it is not a war of the millionaires or of the rich, but a war of the people, and for the people, the same people that our good Martyred President Abraham Lincoln spoke of when he said, "This is a government of the people, by the people and for the people." No government was ever won unless it was a people's war, and that is the reason that the war in Germany is falling today, because it is not a peoples' war, but a war prosecuted by a blood-thirsty, power-drunk imperial government, that received its power from the good, frugal, industrious, economical German people. Already signs upon the horizon begin to indicate that this same good that now dominates Germany, the citizens of the United States of America, the good common people, have never failed when they have clearly understood the duty that they were to perform, and so, jocularly speaking for the moment, while it may be the same kind of a hard struggle that the White Sox had, speaking in base ball language, to beat the Giants, they will do their duty just the same. Dr. Hillis, one of the most eminent orators on the American platform today, said in the largest theatre in the city of Chicago, a day or two ago, before a mixed audience that this is not a man's war, but a woman's war, and that after returning from Belgium and France, and seeing the conditions as they actually exist, that if the imperial government of Germany was to win this war as they had outlined it, it would be better for American women to take their daughters out in some secluded spots and cut their throats than to permit them to be subjected to the treatment that the girls and women in those countries have been under and by the direction of this very imperial government. The "boys" of the Revolution did their duty, and the "boys" of '61 did their duty, and permit me to say that America will not be found wanting in this time, even if the imperial government has put the acid test to a good many of our citizens. Go to your bank tomorrow and subscribe for at least a small bond, if you cannot fight and are not in the eligible list, and I will assure you that in time, so far as my opinion may go, that either the good German people at home will take care of this situation, or we will do it for them. I thank you for your attention.

Already signs upon the horizon begin to indicate that this same good German people are going to overthrow this imperial government, and do the job for themselves. The kaiser and his advisers, known as the Imperial Government of Germany, know each day of every movement that is made in the United States government, and in spite of all-of-the secret service men and other representatives of the government, in my opinion, will know just what we are doing here. The kaiser and the imperial government have full knowledge that we have already called to the colors 2,000,000 of the best boys in the United States of America, and have 8,000,000 more ready for service. The kaiser knows full well that the first Liberty loan was fully subscribed, and that this second loan of $3,000,000,000 which will, when the campaign is over, in all probability amount to $5,000,-000,000, is being subscribed. Perhaps there is no more interesting condition in the United States today, to this Imperial government, than as to whether the good people of the United States of America will fully subscribe this second loan, and permit me to say at this time, and on this occasion, that I would rather see 500 of the laboring men, the so-called "under-dogs," go to their banking institutions tomorrow morning and subscribe for a $50 bond, only $5.00 of which they would have to pay down, until they can procure the Is Phospecting on Desert Somewhere in the deserts of Southern California, Joe Ward, for 37 years a prospector, is still prospecting, while his attorneys at San Bernardino await a chance to tell him that he is worth millions, and is receiving an income of almost $100,000 a year. Ward was the plaintiff in recent litigation there over some claims on the Mojave desert. He won. His point established, impatient of men and their ways, the old prospector again loaded his burros and turned to the desert, telling his lawyers to lease, or sell, or run his property as they found best. The property contained a celestite, or stronium, deposit, said to be the largest in the United States. Shronium was in demand for making the powder used in fuse. The lawyers sent samples east; mining men came out, looked over the property, negotiated a lease and now Joe Ward has cash piling up for him at the rate of $175,-000 every two years. The lessees said they will send in steam shovels to handle the mineral bearing soil; they have-a railroad spur promised, they said; and every swing of the steam shovel will pay its toll to the prospector, who had faded into his desert land again. His attorneys, who know him well, were asked what they expected to see Ward do with his money, when he finds out he has it. "He'll probably celebrate by buying a new burro, and starting for the desert again," said one of them. George Blewett, a former Anaheim boy, a freshman at California university, was so badly injured in a football game a week ago that he died some time later. NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, October 18, 1917 NEW CITY HALL TO BE ERECTED BY TRUSTEES MESSRS. COOK, BRUNWORTH AND DWYER TO LOOK UP PROPOSITION AND REPORT ATTORNEY AMEN: TO REPRESENT CITY BEFORE R. R. COMMISSION IN PHONE MERGER A new city hall will be erected upon the corner of South Claudina and Center streets just as soon as the municipal machinery can get around to it. At the meeting of the trustees Thursday night, upon motion of Trustee Stark, seconded by Trustee Brunworth, and carried, a committee consisting of Trustees Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer were appointed to look into the proposition and consult architects relative to furnishing the plans for the building, and to report upon their deliberations at the next meeting of the council. The money for its erection is to be taken out of the general fund. will soon become obsolete. A contract was entered into between the Auto Club of Southern California whereby the latter will erect 53 warning signs at all railroad crossings in the city. The cost is $2.75 each and the club will install the signs free of charge. The new state law provides that the new signs must be installed by January 10, 1918. It was ordered that the walnut trees interlapping on South street be removed. On October 24, 1912, the late F. J. F. Boege gave the city a strip on that street for widening the same, and a clause provides that should the outer lines of trees ever be removed that he be paid $8 per tree. The trees have now grown so larle that their branches impede traffic on that street, and the trees were ordered removed. John Cook agreed to remove the trees 66 in number, for the wood. Some time ago John Cook put in a curbing on South Walnut street in front of his residence, which now it is found to be 5¼ feet in that street. It was ordered that the city reimburse Mr. Cook for the same. A communication was received from John C. Austin, architect, asking to submit plans for the new city hall. Theodore C. Kistner of San Diego and Mr. Rubell of Los Angeles addressed the board relative to the same. Each gentleman is desirous of having his plans examined. The matter was referred to Messrs. Cook, Brunworth DISCUSS. BONDS AT THURSDAY LUNCHEON C. E. HOLCOMB AND G. L. HUMPHRIES MAKE A PLEA FOR THE LIBERTY LOAN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PROVIDED SLACK IN ITS SUBSCRIPTIONS AT THE PREVIOUS DRIVE Eloquent appeals were made at the business men's luncheon Thursday to the people of Anaheim to do their bit toward maintaining the boys who are going to war by untieing their purse strings and investing some of their surplus money in Liberty bonds. G. L. Humphries of Los Angeles was the speaker, and C. E. Holcomb president of the First National Bank, acted as chairman. In making the introductory address Mr. Holcomb stated that the luncheon was the opening of the campaign in this city for the sale of bonds, and he hoped the response to the government's appeal for the second bond issue would be more generous than it was in the first because Anaheim has a cullar or automobile station, and which has attorney's office At the meeting of the trustees Thursday night, upon motion of Trustee Stark, seconded by Trustee Brunworth, and carried, a committee consisting of Trustees Cook, Brunworth and Dwyer were appointed to look into the proposition and consult architects relative to furnishing the plans for the building, and to report upon their deliberations at the next meeting of the council. The money for its erection is to be taken out of the general fund. Considerable of the material in the old building can be used in the new, and an imposing structure will be erected upon the present site. Trustee Brunworth reported finding officers' reports correct, and audited demands against the city in the amount of $8200, which included interest payments on outstanding bonds. The treasurer reported a balance of $18,117.56 in the general fund. Inspector Steward reported as follows: 5 sewer permits; fees ...$12.50 3 plumbing permits; fees 2.10 4 gas permits; fees 4.65 Fees collected preceding month ...$31.25 The marshal reported the collection of $1226.50 for licenses.

The report of the engineer of the electrical and power house departments was received and filed. The report stated that Joe Lieb had resigned from the electrical department. Bids were opened for paving Kroeger and South Citron streets and the alley south of Center street, as follows: Fairchilds, Gillmore & Wilton: Kroeger St., 18.05 cts. per sq. ft. Citron St., 18.05 cts. per sq. ft. The alley, 20 cts. per sq. ft. L. A. Paving Company: Kroeger St., 16.99 cents. Citron St., 16.99 cents. Alley, 18.99 cents. The bid of the L. A. Paving Co. was accepted and a contract was entered into with that firm to do the work. The bids are high, owing to the increased price of all materials and the price paid to laborers. It was ordered that the city attorney represent the city before the railroad commission, when the telephone merger comes up for hearing. Similar action has been taken by other cities in the county, and every effort is to be made to have the interests of the people safeguarded. According to the plans proposed by the merger the Anaheim area for free switching is very limited, it being less than the city limits. The north line is placed a considerable distance south of North street. The asking of a toll of 15 cents to Fullerton and Buena Park is prohibitive. Under the new deal suburban phones are raised from $1.50 to $2.50 per month. It is reliably reported that three-fourths of these phones will be discontinued. With Anaheim's small area, and with the excessive tolls to nearby towns, the telephone will give the same earnest attention. It was ordered that Superintendent Adams of the power house furnish the board a complete list of all machinery at the plant. It is the plan to sell that which the city does not now need. Second hand stuff brings from 70 to 80 per cent of its original cost, and the trustees believe it would be well to now dispose of some of the engines and boilers. Money derived from this source will be placed in the general fund and applied to the erection of a new city hall. H. G. Ames asked that extra lighting effect be supplied at the coming Elks' jubilee and the same was granted. Engineer Steward was given authority to employ Don Donkoxich to keep the sewer farm premises in more tidy shape. Don will do so for about $40 per month. The septic tanks need constant attention, and growth of weeds about the premises will be kept down, besides the entire premises will be given a general overhauling. Don will do it. The jury that tried the action of the Pacific Electric against A. O. Stoval for a right of way over a piece of land north-of the Fullerton high school brought in a judgment for $7000. The jury decided that $6500 was enough for the acre of land and house and other improvements that would be taken and $500 was enough in damages to the rest of the property. The defendant asked for $10,000 and the P.E. argued that $4500 was enough to pay. It was stated that the P.E. will keep the house and make it a depot and place for an agent to live. The Elks held their regular meeting last night at which final plans were discussed for the Jubilee to be held Oct. 30 to Nov. 3. In his introduction Mr. Holcomb declared he was not talking for the First National bank alone. Other banks also were selling bonds, and he asked that everybody go somewhere and purchase a bond, thus helping to provide necessities and comforts for the army which the government is mobilizing to defend the nation. Sunday, October 21, is Liberty Loan day and we are in receipt of the following from Oscar A. Price, director of the second Liberty Loan campaign. It is directed to the clergy of the 12th Federal Reserve District: "Please use every effort to make Liberty Loan Sunday, October 21st, a big patriotic celebration in churches. "I would suggest that you have leaflets containing the Star Spangled Banner and America printed and distributed to the congregations, with the request that they be sung during the services." "Also I would suggest that you have every church bell in your district tolled for ten minutes in the morning." "If possible arrange to have church societies march through the streets recently, he heard many expressions of surprise in financial circles over the small amount of bonds sold in this region, which should have made one of the best showings of any section of the country. Southern California, he said, should subscribe to the full amount expected of it and thus assure the boys who are going to the front that the people at home are backing them and are ready to equip and provide for them while they are fighting for their country. He stated that a bond was the safest investment any person could make, and they were certain to reach a premium at the close of the war, predicting that they would eventually reach 20 per cent.

THREE LADIES INJURED BY CAVE-IN OF TUNNEL Mrs. Ida Tipton so Seriously Injured That She May Die A singular accident in which Mrs. Ida Tipton, formerly of this city, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Coida Tipton, and her sister, Mrs. Ora Calvert, were seriously injured occurred Sunday evening north of Los Angeles. The party was passing through the Newhall tunnel when a portion of the wall caved in completely burying the auto in which the ladies were seated. All three occupants of the car were badly hurt, and it is feared Mrs. Tipton's injuries may prove fatal, as she may possibly have suffered a fracture of the skull, besides internal injuries. The accident, one of the most peculiar on record, occurred just as the automobile, driven by Mrs. Golda Tipton, and towing another machine in which her husband, Syril Tipton, an attorney, with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building, was riding: ANAHEIM PAYING HEAVY EXCESS WAR TAX ESTIMATED LIQUOR DEALERS WILL CONTRIBUTE $60,000 UNDER NEW REVENUE LAW SMOKERS AND THEATRE-GOERS WILL ALSO HELP SWELL THE FUND CONSIDERABLY The new war revenue bill which became a law last week, is demonstrating to the people of every community in the United States that the entire nation is at war, and that everybody, whether he goes to the front with a gun or not, is compelled to do his bit by helping finance the war. A number of commodities in Anaheim have increased, and purchasers declare they cannot gauge today's prices by what they paid yesterday. People generally, see the necessity for the war taxes, and few grumble, but many declare they will even up their expense account with the former bills by buying less. In which the ladies were seated. All three occupants of the car were badly hurt, and it is feared Mrs. Tipton's injuries may prove fatal, as she may possibly have suffered a fracture of the skull, besides internal injuries. The accident, one of the most peculiar on record, occurred just as the automobile driven by Mrs. Golda Tipton, and towing another machine in which her husband, Syril Tipton, an attorney, with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building, was riding; emerged from the Los Angeles end of the tunnel. The first automobile came to a stop to untie the tow line and permit the disabled car to roll down the grade. Hardly had the machine with the three women in it come to a standstill when without warning, the sliding rock and earth crashed on its downward career, almost totally covering up the struggling little group in the car. Risking his own life, and unmindful of the danger that lurked In the possibility of further landslides, Syril Tipton leaped out of the disabled automobile and frantically began to dig out his mother, wife and Mrs. Calvert from beneath the heavy load that covered them. Other motorists that soon arrived on the scene helped in the rescue. The injured were placed in several automobiles and taken to San Fernando where they were given emergency treatment by Dr. J. G. McKey. Later they were removed to the home of the Tipton family, and there placed in the care of the family doctor. The party went to Saugus Sunday afternoon to tow in Mr. Tipton's auto which was wrecked there several weeks ago, he stated. It was agreed that when the southern end of the tunnel was reached, the towed car should be allowed to roll down the hill. The Newhall tunnel and the section of the road that goes through it have recently been taken over by the state and placed under its road department, N. D. Darlington, state highway commissioner declared. Mr. Darling declared that he was unable to explain the probable cause of the accident, but that an investigation would be started at once. The Tiptons formerly lived in Anaheim, but moved to Los Angeles some time ago. Will S. Tipton, husband of the injured lady, still maintains a law office here. nation is at war, and that everybody, whether he goes to the front with a gun or not, is compelled to do his bit by helping finance the war. A number of commodities in Anaheim have increased, and purchasers declare they cannot gauge today's prices by what they paid yesterday. People generally, see the necessity for the war taxes, and few grumble, but many declare they will even up their expense account with the former bills by buying less. The new law will raise $218,000,000 from the excess liquor tax and $56,-600,000 from tobacco, therefore Anaheim will contribute a considerable sum to help provide for the soldier boys who have gone to war. People who smoke weer considerably surprised and disgusted when they found that the price of their favorite brands, both of cigars and tobacco, had gone up over night. Cigars that sold for 10 cents before the law took effect, are now 15 cents or two for a quarter, and other brands have increased in proportion, and a five cent-package of tobacco is now six cents and a ten cent package twelve cents. Cigarette papers, also, have suddenly jumped to 15 cents. But the liquir dealer and the man who consumes liquor is the hardest hit and Uncle Sam will probably get $60,-000 for his war fund out of this industry. The new law adds $2.10 per gallon on distilled liquors of 100 proof, graduated downward according to the alcoholic strength. As the revenue already was $1.10, this means that the government gets a rakeoff of $3.20 on each gallon. There are three wholesale houses, two wineries and seven saloons in Anaheim, and when the law was enacted prohibiting the use of foodstuffs in the manufacture of distilled liquors, they each laid in a heavy stock, so did the dealers everywhere in the United States. A revenue officer was in town a couple of weeks ago and guaged the amount on hand by each of the houses, and it was found that the excess tax would cost the three wholesalers $27,000, in the neighborhood of $9000 each. It is supposed that the retailers and wineries have sufficient on hand to bring this sum to $60,000. Of course this excess tax was necessarily added to the price at which it was sold to the consumer, consequently the man who drinks liquor to excess now is going to do a large part toward financing the war. ARMY WANTS WOOD EXPERTS AND AMBULANCE MEN Two new calls for men for the national service have come to the military intelligence office of the university of California. One call is for a number of experts in woods. These men will receive salaries of from $1200 to $3000 per annum. They must be thoroughly experienced in selecting woods so as to obtain maximum strength, lightness and resilience. They must be skilled in all the aspects of such work, from the picking out of trees in the forest on through the kiln drying of the wood, its treatment and its testing. This work has relation particularly to the obtaining of woods for the construction of military airplanes. The other call is for 90 men to increase the ranks of ambulance units now in training at Allentown, Penn., under the command of Capt. Alvin Powell. Men between the ages of 19 and 45 will be eligible.

Harry Sanden, who was sent to the county jail from Anaheim for disturbing the peace, was slashed with a razor in a fight with Domito Rias Thursday.

Sanden is a conscripted soldier, and was to have gone to Camp Lewis Saturday.
