VOLUME XXXXVII SECOND PETITION FILED IN CITY HALL FIGHT ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT NAMES ON THE NEW REFERENDUM DEMAND LIST WILL BE COMPARED BY COUNTY CLERK, EDWARDS WITH NEW GREAT REGISTER TODAY Undetermined by the rejection of their original petition because it did not comply with the requirements of law, opponents of the proposal of the city trustees to raze the old city hall and erect a new building on the site, immediately got busy circulating a supplementary petition, which was filed with City Clerk Merritt, Thursday, the last of the ten days' grace permitted them by law. The original petition contained 245 names, but after Messrs. Weisel and Enearl, the committee appointed for the purpose by the truth. Plain Dealer's subscription contest. They were printed in the Brea Progress: Whereas, Some person, without our solicitation or consent, has entered the name of this Union as a candidate for a prize in a subscription campaign now being conducted by The Orange County Plain Dealer of Anaheim; and, Whereas, The said Orange County Plain Dealer has in time past published matter which was not conductive of our welfare; but, instead, published articles which, by insinuation and implication, classed the promoters of this organization as I. W. W.'s, and its members as unpatriotic lawbreakers; now, therefore, be it. Resolved, That Oil Field Workers' Union No. 15,731 oppose and condemn any effort on the part of any one to associate this organization with the said subscription campaign now being conducted by the said Orange County Plain Dealer, or to use the name of this organization in connection with any effort to increase the circulation or the business of said Plain Dealer; and be it further. Resolved, That this Union reaffirms its allegiance to The Brea Progress, as having been fair and loyal to this organization at all times, and as having excluded from its columns such matter as would have been unfair, unjustified or misleading.

The original petition contained 245 names, but after Messrs. Weisel and Enearl, the committee appointed for the purpose by the trustees, had censored it, only 84 names remained upon it. One hundred and sixty-one of the citizens who signed it had failed to register since the expiration of the old great register on the 31st of December, consequently they were not eligible to sign it. The supplementary petition filed with the city clerk, Thursday, contains 168 names. This added to the 84 on the original petition, makes 252. The law requires the names of 10 percent of the electors on a petition to force a referendum vote. If sufficient of the new signers are found to be eligible, and the law has been compiled with in every particular, the proposition will appear on the ballot at the city election an April 8, and the voters of Anaheim will decide whether they want a city hall or whether the government of the municipality will continue to transact business in rented quarters. The new petition will be submitted to County Clerk Edwards today, and assisted by Messrs. Weisel and Enearl, comparison of the names will be made with the great register in order to verify their eligibility. Owing to the fact that the referendum law has been amended two or three times there is much confusion and uncertainty regarding its provisions. The amended petition filed by O. T. Caller, Thursday, February 7, contains names of citizens registered up to that date, but there is an opinion among well informed people that only those who had registered previous to January 18, the date on which the original petition was filed, can legally sign it. The law requires that the petition shall be signed by ten per cent of the electors of the city, consequently there are others who maintain that one-tenth of the names on the old great register are required, as that is the only authentic complete record of the electors of the city until the new one is finished at the expiration of the date fixed for its completion. Editor Baxter also prints the following scorching reference to newspaper contests: "The old worn out subscription contest game is again in our midst. This imposition has long since been released to the unpleasant history of the past in legitimate newspaperdom and it is now disparaging for the newspaper profession when a publisher resorts to this method to boost his own product and increase the circulation of a paper that cannot win upon its merits. "The subscription contest system is an imposition on the public in more ways than one, and there is probably no community which has suffered more from this imposition than Brea and its vicinity. Many people here have subscribed for various papers at different times in order to accommodate a candidate from this locality. Then they have been imposed upon by having these papers forced upon them for an unlimited time regardless of requests to discontinue same, and later insulted because they have refused to pay subscription accounts which were not just or valid. "And the public has gotten wise to the game, and sick and tired of the system. There are always persons who are easy enough to allow the professional contest man to talk them into believing that it is an easy thing to win an automobile, or a piano, or a house and lot, but there never was a prize given in one of these contests yet which was not earned many times over. In fact there is but little chance for anyone outside of the paper's home town to get anything except lots of hard work. But there are always "marks" who will fall for the game. "The paper which cannot build up a circulation by legitimate means and upon its own merits is not given much consideration by the general public or the business world."

Every voter in Anaheim recognizes the imperative need of a new city hall, and it is not probable that a majority of them can be induced to use this as a club to swat the present city board. Even should it carry and the trustees be enjoined from erecting a new building it will not prevent the destruction of the old one, as a vote of the people cannot be used as a prop to bolster up a structure that has been officially declared dangerous, a menace to life and surrounding property. Even should a board of trustees opposed to a new city hall be elected they cannot return the city's offices to the old ram-shackle barn, as the compensation law sternly prohibits governing bodies housing employees in unsafe buildings. OIL MEN CONDEMN DINKY LITTLE SHEET Strenuously Object to Having Their Union Dragged into Plain Dealer's Contest The following resolutions were adopted at a recent meeting of Oil Field Workers Union No. 15,731, relative to the use of its name in the prize given in one of these contests yet which was not earned many times over. In fact there is but little chance for anyone outside of the paper's home town to get anything except lots of hard work. But there are always "marks" who will fall for the game.

GIRL FARM HANDS A practical farm school for young women willing to undertake farm work for the coming summer is to be opened soon in Illinois. It isn't really a school at all. It's a training farm. It is reported that several hundred girls have already applied for instruction there. The women are not to do the heaviest work, but are to learn to drive cultivators and other farm machinery and to do all the lighter jobs around the farm. And every woman who takes up such work releases a man for the heavy work in farming and other necessary occupations or for military service. The demand for workers and the interest shown by women applicants indicate that the training will be a success and serve a big need. It is understood that it is to train for farming only. Truck gardening, poultry raising, milking, etc., are to be taught elsewhere. In these enterprises, too, the women are showing an increasing interest. Aside from their patriotic motives many women are eager to learn more about farming. Women have long ceased to be objects of curiosity or scorn. They are making good and are enjoying the health and freedom that are among the products of the modern, up-to-date, successful little farm.

H. M. Adams, who had been chosen as toastmaster, had been called out of town on business, consequently Secretary Whitaker of the board of trade pre- NEW DEVICE FOR HANDLING CRACKED NUTS Santa Ana Firm Poruces Machine that Picks Out Kernels. Another invention to aid in handling the English walnuts has been put into use by Bishop and Cole, local contractors. The latest device was put in operation at the packing plant of the Central Walnut Grower's Association in Los Angeles last Thursday at 11:35 o'clock and up to Saturday evening at 6 o'clock had not stopped day or night. At this plant there are two large cracking machines and from these machines the cracked walnuts drop onto the conveyor and pass to this new machine where more than one-half of the shells are removed from the meats before going into the hands of the pickers. This effects a great saving in labor in the handling of the product. The first walnut handling machine perfected by the local firm was a device for separating the cull nuts from the good ones. This machine was sold to the Central Walnut Grower's association of Los Angeles. The next machine invented was one for removing the last particle of kernel from the shell after the nut had been cracked and picked over by the girls. This has also proved to be a great saving. BASEBALL GAME FOR RED CROSS BENEFIT NORTH AND SOUTH SECTIONS MEET IN MORTAL COMBAT ON WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY EITHER CHARLIE CHAPLIN, DOUG FAIRBANKS OR FATTY ARBUCKLE WILL UMPIRE THE GAME Anaheim is beginning to waken up and take an interest in baseball once again, but a game has been staged for Washington's birthday that promises to stir the people out of their lethargy and cause even the sick, the lame and the halt to sit up and take notice. It is to be a factional fight, the Northside being pitted against the Southside, with Center street the dividing line.

H. M. Adams, who had been chosen as toastmaster, had been called out of town on business, consequently Secretary Whitaker of the board of trade presided. Mr. Simons' subject was a popular one as everything is now subordinated to the war and since American blood has been shed we are beginning to awaken to the fact that this is not England's war nor France's war but our war. He spoke of the sinking of the Tuscania and said there would be unspeakable anguish in the two thousand homes in the United States until the list of survivors and dead was made public. He did not believe the German people approved of the war or the methods used by the Imperial government, in the loss of a ship and the murder of hundreds of helpless people brought joy to the hearts of the bloodthirty Prussian militarits. He did not believe the German people would sanction the junker system of frightfulness if the matter was left to them, but they are forced to submissive to the iron rule of the autocrat, and have no voice in the government. Their duty is to obey without question or criticism. People of America, he declared are prone to criticize the government for its slowness in preparation and the mistakes that have been made. The people must remember, he said, that this war came upon us unexpectedly, that the nation was wholly unprepared for the important part it must play in the conflict, and it requires time to construct a great and efficient army from raw material. Mistakes had probably been made, but they were to be expected when such a gigantic task was undertaken and must by forced to completion within a limited time. The government, he believed, is now meeting all problems with efficiency, and we should commend it for its splendid accomplishments instead of censuring it for its mistakes. The speaker advised everybody to strictly obey the food regulations. They entailed no hardships upon anybody, they were wisely ordered, and if the people of America were loyal enough to their country to obey the labor in the handling of the product. The first walnut handling machine perfected by the local firm was a device for separating the cull nuts from the good ones. This machine was sold to the Central Walnut Grower's association of Los Angeles. The next machine invented was one for removing the last particle of kernel from the shell after the nut had been cracked and picked over by the girls. This has also proved to be a great saving. Bishop and Cole have had the contract for the building and installation of all equipment which has gone into the Central Walnut Growers' association plant on Seventh street in Los Angeles, in the new Terminal building. These local men now have the contract with the Terminal company for the building and installation of all the machinery to accommodate the Los Angeles basket factory, which will move into the new building March 1. GORTON OBJECTS TO DR. BALL'S STRICTURES Delcares He did not Marry to Escape Service in the Army At the hearing of the claim of William Gorton of Anaheim before Dr. Ball of Santa Ana last Monday, he stated his brother, M. A. Gorten, 28 years of age, had recently been married consequently the main support of his aged father and mother and a sister devolved upon him. Dr. Ball granted the exemption claim but scored the brother for getting married in the following terms: "I think a man like your brother who got behind a woman's peti-coats and left you to take care of your dependent parents, belongs in France in the trenches," he declared Dr. Ball. "He is not a man, and I hope you will go home and tell him what I said about him." Mr. Gorton thinks this language unjustifiable, and hands The Gazette the following letter explaining his reasons for marrying at this time: Anaheim, Cal., Feb. 9th, 1918. Dr. C. E. Ball, Santa Ana, California. Dear Sir: Inasmuch as reflections you made upon my character and loyalty at the hearing of the appeal for exemption made by my brother last Monday evening has been given wide circulation through the newspapers, I herewith respectfully request an apology through the same mediation 24, 1917 and it was delivered on May 18, 1917. So you see, our marriage, after an engagement of eighteen months, was not on the spur of the moment with any intent to evade the draft. Indeed, I firmly be- Three chinks were gathered into the police net down in Chinatown Thursday evening and were landed in jail charged with violating the law of the land by handling and smoking opium. James Luckenback, state pharmacy inspector and three of the local police force were the raiders. A search of the premises revealed contraband goods and four men were placed under arrest, but one of them slipped his taper fingers from the handcuffs and left suddenly for parts unknown. Those placed in jail were Yung Sing, Quon Lee, and Won Anh. They gave bond for $100 each and were released the following day, their trial being set for today. The speaker advised everybody to strictly obey the food regulations. They entailed no hardships upon anybody, they were wisely ordered, and if the people of America were loyal enough to their country to obey the food problems that now confronts the world would be solved. The American people could save enough of the essentials by substitution to supply the need of our allies in Europe who are fighting our battles as well as their own. He recommended economy in the matter of clothing also as there is a shortage of material, and many of our friends who are battling in our cause are suffering for the need of it. A well worn suit of clothes is a badge of honor now, he said, because it shows the wearer is patriotic enough to deny himself in order to help those whose need is greater than his. Dear Sir: Inasmuch as reflections you made upon my character and loyalty at the hearing of the appeal for exemption made by my brother last Monday evening has been given wide circulation through the newspapers, I herewith respectfully request an apology through the same mediums for the following well and sufficient reasons: I am not a war groom, as you asserted, apparently without any conception of the circumstances connected with my marriage. In fact I was engaged to be married in November, 1915, the marriage to occur in October, 1916. I can proffer substantial proof of this, as well as other statements made here. The marriage did not occur in October, 1916, because, on May 17, 1916, Mr. Leroy E. Dunning, the brother of my then fiance, Miss Frances Dunning, suffered a stroke of paralysis and underwent a critical operation. He was under the care of Dr. Wm. R. Maloney, 222 Bradbury Building, Los Angeles. It was uncertain as to whether the state compensation board would consider his bills, although he was insured under the compensation act. The responsibility for his bills was assumed by my then fiance, who saw to it that nothing in the way of medical science was denied him. In December, 1916, the first check came from the compensation board. From that time on, we made arrangements to consummate our marriage. My then fiance, at that time the main source of support of her family, figured it would take until June, 1917, to get together available funds for her marriage outfit. We bought our furniture of Mackle-Foley company on Feb- ruary 24, 1917 and it was delivered on May 18, 1917. So you see, our marriage, after an engagement of eighteen months, was not on the spur of the moment with any intent to evade the draft. Indeed, I firmly believe that at the age of twenty-seven I had every right, as an American citizen, to claim a wife and make a home for myself. Now, without inquiry into these circumstances, you have publicly slandered my good name, bringing the blush of shame, not only to myself and my wife, but to every member of our respective families when, never before, has the patriotism of a single member of our respective families been questioned for a single moment. I cannot conceive for a moment any justification of this, which I consider a most unwarranted attack. While never for a moment desiring to interfere with your patriotic service for the government I emphatically declare that you have overstepped all bounds of your office in attacking my intentions toward the government when, as a matter of fact, I am and always have been ready to go when other men in my class are called. With this presentation of the facts, any investigation of which I will welcome, I again urgently suggest and request that you make a public apology through the press to my friends, members of my family, my wife and myself. I am handing copies of this letter to the papers. Awaiting your early reply, I am, Very truly, M. A. GORTON ZETTE 18 NUMBER 17 LOCAL BALL TEAM WINS AN EASY VICTORY ALBERT COHN'S DEFEATED SUNDAY BY A ONE SIDE SCORE OF SEVEN TO ONE FAIRBANKS HOLDS THE VISITING SLUGGERS DOWN TO A FEW SCATTERING HITS Anaheim's newly organized baseball team demonstrated Sunday that it is capable of maintaining the reputation this city gained some years ago in baseball circles, and that any amateur team that comes here with the expectation of putting up an interesting game must be a top notcher. The boys lost the game a week ago Sunday to the Pacific Electrics by a score of four to nothing, but it was the first time the locals had ever played together, besides there were seven league players on the line up of the visitors, whose numerous other things will be sold, but all stocks are to be donated by dealers in these goods. Each of the pharmacies will also be requisitioned for a gallon of arnica, and the physicians of the city will treat all casualties free of charge. Red Cross nurses will also be on hand to render first aid to the injured. The Anaheim band has generously agreed to donate its services, and stirring music will be rendered during the game. While the personality of the players alone would make this an exceedingly interesting game, the chief attraction is going to be the ump. Charley Chaplin, the famous movie star, has been engaged to umpire the contest, but the committee is taking no chances by depending upon a single individual. Fatty Arbuckle and Douglass Fairbanks, have also been listed, and it is expected that all will be present. At any rate one of these famous artists will be on hand and see that even-handed justice is dealt to the belligerents. A communication from John S. McGroarty, author and manager of the Mission Play, was read by Secretary Whitaker. Mr. McGroarty, asked that an excursion be arranged to visit San Gabriel and see the play on Sunday afternoon.

At any rate one of these famous artists will be on hand and see that even-handed justice is dealt to the belligerents. A communication from John S. McGroarty, author and manager of the Mission Play, was read by Secretary Whitaker. Mr. McGroarty, asked that an excursion be arranged to visit San Gabriel and see the play on Sunday afternoon. Tickets would be furnished at 75 cents and $1.00, the board of trade to get a rake-off of 20 per cent. Mr. McGoarty stated in his letter that he would come to Anaheim and personally assist in the sale of tickets. The Pacific Electric, it was announced, would give special excursion rates to parties of sixty or more, but as Anaheim people would have to walk to Fullerton to take the car it was decided to organize an automobile excursion party. Nearly every member present had seen the show on a former occasion, but was anxious to see it again, consequently it is not anticipated that any difficulty will be experienced in getting a respectably-sized crowd to join the procession. Secretary Whitaker was instructed to phone Mr. McGroarty to come down, and help boost. The town of Whittier secently gave a minstrel show staged by home talent, the profits from which were donated to the Red Cross. The minstrels did so well in the Quaker town that they wanted to present it in Anaheim and divide the receipts fifty-fifty. The proposition met with no encouragement, the question being, therefore, dropped. The committee in charge of the Anaheim Yorba storm water district asked that the money in the treasury be pro rated among the creditors, and the business officially ended. The secretary stated that there was $128.45 in the treasury and the debts totalled more than $1200. The creditors, therefore, will receive in the neighborhood of ten cents on the dollar. DON'T KILL HENS Orders of the federal food administration forbidding the killing of hens will be strickly enforced according to Frank H. Suffel, Southern California food director. The new orders forbid the killing of any hens or pullets until after April 30. Stock already killed and on the way to dealers may be sold, and stock held in cold storage may be sold. It is capable of maintaining the reputation this city gained some years ago in baseball circles, and that any amateur team that comes here with the expectation of putting up an interesting game must be a top notcher. The boys lost the game a week ago Sunday to the Pacific Electrics by a score of four to nothing, but it was the first time the locals had ever played together, besides there were seven league players on the line up of the visitors, whose business it is to play ball for big pay. Sunday's game had a different ending. The Albert Cohn team is an aggregation of good ball players, but the locals defeated them by a score of 7 to 1. This one-sided score was the result of errors. In the fifth inning Schatzleim, who was in the box for the visitors, got somewhat excited and permitted the fans to fill up. A couple of errors on the part of the fielders, which sent three men across the plate, did not tend to soothe his nerves, and a little later a three-bagger. By Hill was responsible for two more runs. Five marks in one inning was somewhat discouraging to the visitors, but they recovered sufficiently to hold the locals down to one run during the balance of the game. The A. C.'s were shy two men when they landed here, consequently they signed up Fritz Kemper and Stump Huntington, Kemper playing left field and Huntington right. Four files went over into Kemper's territory and he gobbled them all some of them being brilliant catches, while Stump gathered in the only fly that landed in his garden. Lan Franco, who will pitch for the Anaheim team when his injured leg is as good as new, umplied the game. Anaheim now has a ball team worthy of support, and all who like to see good ball should attend. None but the best amaeur teams will be secured to play, and an excellent game is promised every Sunday. The high school grounds are-not enclosed so it is impossible to charge admission. The Fahey-Atterburys will play next Sunday. Three new men have been secured by Manager Vetter which will considerably strengthen the Anaheim team. The line-up at Sundays game was Evans If, Krause, c., Franklin ss, Armbal, 3b; Vetter, 1b: Bomstien 2b; Fairbanks, p; Hill, rf; Daniels, cf. DON'T KILL HENS Orders of the federal food administration forbidding the killing of hens will be strictly enforced according to Frank H. Suffel, Southern California food director. The new orders forbid the killing of any hens or pullets until after April 30. Stock already killed and on the way to dealers may be sold, and stock held in cold storage may be sold. The order preventing the killing of hens is to insure the largest egg supply possible for the purpose of providing more eggs for hatching. It was reported from New York that the federal food administration had started fixing the prices of poultry there and would take similar action in other parts of the country. DENY PETITION Denial of petitions from attorneys of Orange county cities to have the hearing of the proposed gas rates in this county segregated from the rest of the district and held in this county, has been made by the state railroad commission. A reply to the petition of City Attorney Scott of Santa Ana stated that the hearing would be held as originally scheduled in Los Angeles Wednesday, at which time the Southern Counties Gas company would be given an opportunity to present its argument for the proposed raise of rates. Adjournment will then be taken until a later date not specified, to allow the protestants and the railroad commission's engineers opportunity to investigate and prepare reports in answer to the gas company's petition. The reply of the commission to the city attorney gave no indication that the Orange county case would be segregated or that the hearing would be held in this county. GETTING THE HABIT Rich men save to get money to invest. Their investments make more money for them to invest. Savings come first, you see, and they can be made a habit. The government of the United States is giving us all a chance to own its own "stock," and it wants to help us build the thrift habit. A quarter is all you need to start. At your postoffice, from you postman, your bank or your store, you can get a thrift stamp for a quarter. They will give you a card. Stick your stamp on this card. Every spare quarter you can get will buy another stamp, and you will be surprised how soon you will have sixteen of them attached to your card. If your card is filled before February 1, you can add twelve cents and get a War Savings Stamp that will draw interest to make it bring in $5 on January 1, 1923. Five dollars for $4.12, and Uncle Sam guarantees the payment. This is your opportunity—start now—try to fill your card! You can buy your War Savings Stamp in February for one cent less than in March. The money you thus invest in Thrift Stamps or War Savings Stamps will help our country to win the war; the thrift habit will be a sure help toward your happiness.
