NO DECISION YET IN SEPTIC TANK SQUABBLE CONTINUANCE OF CASE TAKEN BY COURT FROM MONDAY UNTIL FRIDAY MANY WITNESSES SUMMONED TO TESTIFY FOR AND AGAINST THE CITY Whether or not the city of Anaheim is maintaining a nuisance in its septic tank and sewer farm has not been determined by the superior court. The suit of the Westside people against J. S. Rockwell and the city trustees began in Judge Thomas' court Thursday, the West Anaheim people endeavoring to prove that the place is a nuisance and should be abated. District Attorney West is prosecuting the case while City Attorney Ames, assisted by George P. Adams of Los Angeles, is defending the city. Termined to try again for the coveted honor. He was successful, and will leave for the East some time in June. Dale will be twenty years old next month. He is a fine specimen of young American manhood. We have no doubt that he will be successful at the naval academy, and it is not too much to say that he may one day rise to the honor of being an admiral in the American navy. Anyway, we hope so, and our best wishes will accompany him, for we consider Dale one of the best young men we know. WHITTIER MAN BUYS ANAHEIM ORANGE GROVE M. Oban Purchases Ten Acres From North Estate and Will Build Home Robert McKey came down from Whittler Monday and spent the day greeting his old friends. He was accompanied by M. Oban, a Whittler friend who was looking over his new purchase and getting acquainted with his neighbors. Mr. Oban recently bought ten acres from the North estate, just beyond East stret. The ground is set to Valenclas that are now four years old and will produce some fruit this year. Mr. Oban is preparing to build on the place and fit it up as a residence property. P. H. KRICK DISLOVING CHALLENGE ACCUSED MAN AVAILABLE DESTROYING PATRIOTS SAYS ALLIED BLANKING WOMEN AND IN GERMANY Charged with giving unpatriotic and sexually calculated to discount the army and the gift of money to the give aid and com­ of this nation in the Krick was arrested ing on a complaint of the Peace Howe lick of Los Angeles States attorney. Mr. to appear before th­ to the charge at two afternoon. He was Up to Monday night twenty-eight witnesses had been examined on both sides of the question, some of them testifying that the Imhoff tank was a nuisance, that the odors arising from the water were offensive, obnoxious and a menace to health. Others gave testimony to the effect that the water coming from the tank was pure, not as offensive as the Westsiders claimed, and was not detrimental to health. Monday evening Judge Thomas continued the case until Friday, when expert testimony will be received by the court. The case will probably be decided tomorrow. Ever since the city trustees decided to put in a sewer system for Anaheim they have had an uphill fight to establish and maintain a suitable outfall for the sewage. First the Gilbert ranch four miles west of town was purchased, but the inhabitants of that neighborhood strenuously objected to its location in that bailwick and fought the proposition to a limit. They even went so far as to inaugurate a large section of Orange county's fertile farming land into a corporate body, threw a boundary line around it, voted it a municipality and called it the city of Stanton. Being an incorporated city it had the power to adopt ordinances and the first one passed by the trustees prohibited the establishment within the city limits of a sewer farm or a septic tank. The city of Anaheim still owns the farm, and it is worth considerably more money now than the trustees paid for it. The farm just west of the city limits was then purchased and the Imhoff tank built there, the sewage water being used on the ranch which is leased by J. S. Rockwell. There was opposition to its establishment from the first, but it has gathered volume, until the matter was finally taken into court. ADMIRAL QUARTON OF THE U. S. NAVY Title to be Won Some Day, Maybe, by Lord Appointed to Ananellia McBRIDE CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION Asking the Voters for Another Term As County Surveyor County Surveyor J. L. McBride was in town Wednesday greeting his numerous friends and acquaintances in this end of the county. Mr. McBride will be a candidate for re-election to the office which he has so ably filled during the past year, and considering the record for efficiency he has made in the conduct of his important office any man who casts covetous eyes on the position will have his work cut out if he attempts to defeat him. McBride was a member of Company L, California National Guard, for many years. When war with Mexico was iminent and the Seventh regiment was sent to the border, McBride was in command of his company, but the regiment was mustered into government service and all members were forced to undergo a physical examination by federal boards. Many were rejected, McBride being among theme because he had lost the sight of one eye. The boys of Company L made every move possible to retain him in command of the company, even carrying the matter to the higher powers at Washington, but the laws of the service were inexorable and the defect was one that could not be camouflaged. Notwithstanding this deficiency McBride is one of the best rifle shots in California. His record stands seventh in the National Guard of the state. DEATH ANGEL CLAIMS ADMIRAL QUARTON OF THE U. S. NAVY Title to be Won Some Day, Maybe, by Lad Appointed to Annapolis Dale Quarton on Saturday morning received from Congressman Kettner at Washington, a telegram advising him that his final examination for appointment as naval cadet at Annapolis academy had been approved by the Navy Department, and that he would be called the middle of June. Dale was at work on his father's ranch on the Garden Grove road when the expected telegram arrived informing him that he had attained his ambition to be appointed to the United States Naval Academy. He was a student at Stanword University last September, when he took his first examination at San Francisco. This examination proved satisfactory, and he returned home some weeks ago to prepare for a final examination. These papers were sent on to Washington, and on Saturday telegraph advices came informing him of his appointment. Dale is a graduate of Anaheim high school, and later attended Pomona college. He was last year an applicant for appointment to Annapolis, and stood at the head of a large number of alternates. It was believed that he would then be appointed a cadet, but was unsuccessful in his efforts for the reason that the principals passed their final examination, and are now at Annapolis. He then became a student at Stanford university, and last fall de- boys of Company L made every move possible to retain him in command of the company, even carrying the matter to the higher powers at Washington, but the laws of the service were inexorable and the defect was one that could not be camouflaged. Notwithstanding this deficiency McBride is one of the best rifle shots in California. His record stands seventh in the National Guard of the state. DEATH ANGEL CLAIMS ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN Simon Lybarger Passes Away Saturday After Long Illness After a long illness Simon Lybarger died at his home on Lincoln avenue Saturday. Mr. Lybarger was born in Ohio on February 6, 1850 and came to Anaheim ten years ago. He was one of Anaheim's best known and most respected citizens, and his death is mourned by a large circle of friends. He leaves a wife, a son, Sergeant Kenyon Lybarger, who enlisted in the army some months ago and is now training at Camp Pike, and one daughter, Mrs. Edgar Hartung. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's parlors at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday, Rev. C. R. Messias of St. Michael's church conducting the services. While keen interest is being taken in the city election to be held on Monday, April 8, the only contest is on the selection of a board of trustees. Neither City Clerk Merritt nor City Treasurer Boege have opposition to their candidacy for re-election, as it is universally conceded that they have proven themselves capable and popular officials. There was some talk of another candidate for clerk at one time, but nomination petitions were never filed. Methodist church, with testimony as to what he say on these witness had already complaint, and each at the request of the attorney before subamination. S. R. witness. He testified the lecture on "Church and considered very good, beginning in the family and until he included the hood of man, but his closing remarks considered which was that God was now being said he made a shattered, in order of Krick's remark think such statement unchallenged.

KRICK FACES DISLOYALTY CHARGE ACCUSED MAN AVERS THAT WE ARE DESTROYING GERMAN PATRIOTISM SAYS ALLIED BLOCKADE STARVING WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN GERMANY Charged with giving utterance to unpatriotic and seditious remarks, calculated to discourage enlistment in the army and the gratuitoun subscription of money to the government, also to give aid and comfort to the enemy of this nation in time of war, P. H. Krick was arrested Thursday morning on a complaint filed with Justice of the Peace Howard by V. W. Killick of Los Angeles, deputy United States attorney. Mr. Krick was cited to appear before the court to answer to the charge at two o'clock Thursday afternoon. He was on hand at the ap- that Great Britain had blockaded the German ports, cut off all supplies to that country, and what could the people do but go to the Kaiser for aid. On being asked if he considered Krick's remarks disloyal he replied, "I certainly did. Had he gone any farther I should have rise in my seat and interfered, and I whin I had." Miss Bella Walker was somewhat averse to criticising remarks of a member of the official board of which she was a member, but when Mr. Krick objected to building the new church and spoke of the huge indemnity this country might be forced to pay Germany she thought it would be unjust for the Lord to be called upon to pay that indemnity. Miss Walker caused a ripple of applause to interrupt the stalid proceedings of the court. On being asked if she agreed with Mr. Krick in his opposition to the new church she said no. She never yet asked a man to agree with her, and furthermore if she believed his statement that the outlook was dark she would don a soldier's hat, shoulder a gun and go to the war herself. John Taggart was the next witness. He had heard the talk on "Christian Patriotism," and said Krick made the remark that we owed as much Christian patriotism to Germany as to any other nation. He heard Krick make the statement that the outlook of the war was exceedingly dark at this time. RED GROSS BALL GAME WAS A DRAW SCORE BOARD SHOWED THAT NEITHER SIDE WON IN THE CONTEST SUBMARINE BASE TEAM DEFEATS ANAHEIM IN A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE A decent regard for the truth compels us to admit that if the Northside hadn't put up such an excellent fight on the high school diamond Sunday the Southside would have won the big Red Cross benefit ball game. It was a strenuous struggle—it was an errorless game—but the teams were so evenly matched that neither could gain an advantage, no matter how skillfully they played. The batteries were Huntington and Murch for the Northside, Kemper and Sheridan for the South. Aided by his excellent support in the field Huntington managed to re- calculated to discourage enlistment in the army and the gratuitoun subscription of money to the government, also to give aid and comfort to the enemy of this nation in time of war, P. H. Krick was arrested Thursday morning on a complaint filed with Justice of the Peace Howard by V. W. Killick of Los Angeles, deputy United States attorney. Mr. Krick was cited to appear before the court to answer to the charge at two o'clock Thursday afternoon. He was on hand at the appointed time without an attorney and as he had a very vague idea of what a defendant in a criminal action was expected to do, the court declared a recess until he could secure council. O. T. Caller appeared within a few minutes in response to Krick's summons, but as he was unfamiliar with the case an dthe charges against his client he asked a postponement of twenty-four hours, which was granted. The warrant upon which Krick was arrested, signed by Judge Howard, reads as follows: Personally appeared before me this 14th day of March, 1918, V. W. Killick who, being first duly sworn deposes and says: That on or about the 17th day of February, 1918, at and within the said county of Orange, State of California, the crime of disturbing the peace was committed by Philip H. Krick, who at the time and place last aforesaid did then and there wilfully and unlawfully make remarks which in the opinion of other citizens were unpatriotic, disloyal, seditionous, and which may have had the effect of curtailing donations to war funds of the United States government, and of discouraging voluntary enlistments in the United States army and navy, and further of giving out a general attitude of not being patriotic. All of which is contrary to the form, force and effect of the statute in such cases made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the people of the State of California. Wherefore, said complainant prays that a warrant may be issued for the arrest of the said Phillip H. Krick and that he be dealt with according to law. The seditious remarks which the defendant is charged with making were uttered in the Methodist church, first in the Sunday school on February 17, and later at a meeting of the official board. In the Sunday school he delivered a short lecture on "Christian Patriotism," in which he is alleged to have said that the patriotism of the German people is being crushed by her enemies in the war. In the official board meeting he opposed the erection of a new church now in contemplation on the ground, it is stated, that our future looked dark, and if Germany asked Dr. Osher if he had heard any remarks to the effect that Mr. Krick should be disciplined by the citizens he case the officials failed to act on the charges, and he answered that he had. The community, he said, was considerably stirred up. There were several other witnesses waiting to be called, but at the close of Dr. Osher's testimony Mr. Killick asked Dr. Osher if he had heard any remarks to the effect that Mr. Krick should be disciplined by the citizens he case the officials failed to act on the charges, and he answered that he had.

the Sunday school on February 17, and later at a meeting of the official board. In the Sunday school he delivered a short lecture on "Christian Patriotism," in which he is alleged to have said that the patriotism of the German people is being crushed by her enemies in the war. In the official board meeting he opposed the erection of a new church now in contemplation on the ground, it is stated, that our future looked dark, and if Germany defeated us in the war we would have a huge indemnity to pay and could not afford to spend money in church building. Numerous witnesses, members of the Methodist church, were present to give testimony as to what they had heard him say on these two occasions. Each witness had already filed a written complaint, and each read his complaint at the request of the prosecuting attorney before submitting to cross examination. S. R. Coate was the first witness. He testified that he heard the lecture on "Christian Patriotism," and considered the first part of it very good, beginning with patriotism in the family and climbing upward until he included a universal brotherhood of man, but he spoiled it all by his closing remarks which the witness considered seditious, one of which was that Germany's patriotism was now being crushed. Mr. Coate said he made a short talk himself afterward, in order to offset the effect of Krick's remarks, as he did not think such statements ought to stand unchallenged. Dr. J. A. Jackson was more emphatic in his testimony. Mr. Krick, he said in his talk on "Christian Patriotism," had built up a good argument, but knocked the foundation from under his fabric by his later remarks. Krick he said, made the statement There was a unanimity in the evidence of the five witnesses that proves beyond hope of refutation that he made the seditious remarks with which he is charged, but Mr. Callor's line of defense is that the language used by Krick was not calculated to discourage enlistments or subscriptions but rather to stimulate them. This question was put to each witness, and the invariable answer was that to a loyal and patriotic American his gloomy picture of the future would impel him to greater exertions in behalf of his country, but a timid or lukewarm citizen might be influenced to keep out of the war or to keep his money in his pocket. Miss Walker went the men witnesses one better by stating that if she believed Krick's insinuations that our country was in gave danger she would enlist in the army and go to the front herself. While each of the witnesses acknowledged that the defendant's remarks had not influenced him to curtail his efforts in behalf of the government in its hour of need each emphatically declared that he considered the language nn-American, unpatriotic and sedition. One witness, on being asked by the Judge if Krick's remarks disturbed his peace answered emphatically yes. In fact, he said, he was shocked to hear such utterances. Judge Howard interposed several times and asked pointed questions of the witness which brought out salient and important points in the testimony. Who the two witnesses referred to by Federal Attorney Killick are, has not been made known, but it is understood they are outside the circle of men and women who heard his remarks at the Methodist church. Some of the officials of the church who filed charges against him are yet to be heard, but their testimony will probably be in line with that already given. Mr. Krick was born in Canada of German parents, but those who heard the remarks of which they complain appear to think that he is not only out of sympathy in this war with the land of his nativity, but also with the land of his adoption. His attorney is endorsing to make it appear that his strictures against the blockade which is curtailing shipments of foodstuffs to Germany, and his expressed sympathy for the hungry people of the Kaiser's empire, was inspired merely by brotherly love, which is so broad that it recognizes no geographical lines. None of the witnesses, however, could recall having ever heard him censure Germany's submarine activity which is ruthlessly destroying numerous food laden ships sent to the relief of starving Belgium and the hungry people of France and England. In this case Judge Howard is sitting, not as a justice of the peace, but as a United States Commissioner, and his powers, it is understood, are not limited by the law that hedges about a justice. ING, but the Naval men had the best of a six to four score at the windup. Fairbanks was in the box for Anaheim, and at the beginning of the fourth inning a young lady, piloted by Harry Carter, Jr., walked into the diamond and presented him with a beautiful bouquet. This stimulated Doug to such an extent that he struck out three men in succession. The two Submarine teams are among the best in California. Four professional men were in their lineup here Sunday. BASEBALL NOTES Ralph McFadden's homer came near "busting" in one of the windows in the high school auditorium. Jake Vetter is a star on the initial sack, and plays a faultless game. Jake never makes an error, even though he has to make a long reach for wild ones. Fairbanks was the envy of the bunch, after receiving the nosegay. John Kellenberger, while not as fleet of foot as in former years, made the third sack in record time, but was averse to hammering out a three bagger in the following inning. Borstein held down the keystone in his usual clever manner. Blondie made a sensational catch away over along the north line. George Krause played in center field just for a change. George is a king pin back stop, and has a fine peg to second. ANAHEIM WINNER IN DEBATING CONTEST GETS FOUR OUT OF SIX, WILL HAVE PERMANENT POSSESSION OF DAVIS CUP SANTA ANA HIGH REFUSES TO CONCEDE DEFEAT BECAUSE TIED WITH ANAHEIM IN POINTS Notwithstanding the fact that, in accordance with the rules under which the contest was conducted, Anaheim high school won the championship of Orange Co., Santa Ana Polytechnic refuses to concede defeat, and denies the right of Anaheim to the Davis cup, which is the prize striven for. Anaheim won four of the six debates in which it engaged, while Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton each won three, but the fact that Anaheim and Santa Ana are tied in the number of points or judge's decisions, is the ground on which the Diamond Sunday have won the big game.

Borasteln held down the keystone in his usual clever manner. Blondie made a sensational catch away along the north line. George Krause played in center field just for a change. George is a king pin back stop, and has a fine peg to second. Finley knocked a home run, and didn't get a bouquet, either. Judge Howard after much persuasion agreed to umpire the game between the North and South sides. The Judge has had many complex questions up for settlement in past years, and while at times the crabbing cropped out there was no need of calling out the regulars. Over in the southeast bleachers the air became blue in the first half of the ninth inning, owing to abum decision of the ump. The score in the argument between the North and the South was eight to eight—in favor of the umpire. This city still holds its former reputation of being a good ball town. All the fans want is a ball game all the way round. Mertsch did splendid work behind the bat, and should be signed up with the local ball team. Captains Abbey and LaMont were seen to hold a friendly conversation on the diamond after the contest of their opposing stars, clearly dispelling the report that bad blood existed between them. Joe Wagner showed some of his old form in base running, and clouted the horse-hide whenever the pitcher got the ball near enough to him. George Huntington was on the mound for the Southsiders and stuck it out for three innings. Stump in former years had a bunch of curves that puzzled the best of them, but now he has lost some of the pep. Billy Knott held down third base like a professional and covered much territory. Handleman played in great form and while being a little over-weight, had no difficulty in circling the sacks. When Loule was skipping over second base, a colored fan excitedly exclaimed, "For the love of Lulu, lookit that dar boy go." Dolan and Parker who performed in the right and center fields respectively, for the Southside, had no use for the arms as fly balls were scarce against with the rules under which the contest was conducted, Anaheim high school won the championship of Orange Co., Santa Ana Polytechnic refuses to concede defeat, and denies the right of Anaheim to the Davis cup, which is the prize striven for. Anaheim won four of the six debates in which it engaged, while Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton each won three, but the fact that Anaheim and Santa Ana are tied in the number of points or judge's decisions, is the ground on which the county seat school bases its claim that the two are tied, and refuses to concede the cup to the victors. The rules of the "Interscholastic Public Speaking League of California," under which the debates were held, read as follows: "Sc. 2—In all "simultaneous" debates the decision shall be determined in the following manner: "(a) The school winning the largest number of debates shall be credited with the decision. "(b) In case of a tie in the number of debates won, the winning school shall be determined by totalling the number of judges' decisions received by the schools tying in the number of debates won." Paragraph "a" quoted above states in unvarnished and unmistakable language that in the series the school winning the largest number of debates is the winner of the prize, pennant, banner or whatever is contested for, and paragraph "b" is effective only contingent upon a tie in the number of debates won. Santa Ana appears to have obliterated paragraph "a" from its book of rules, and demands another contest on the ground that the two schools were tied on points, each having ten to its credit. As Anaheim has won the Davis cup on two previous occasions, and according to the rules of the donor when he presented it as a prize, it becomes the permanent property of the school winning it the third time, we cannot blame Santa Ana Poly for being reluctant to give it up, but we condemn that school for attempting to override the rules under which the contest was held, and refusing to concede possession of the prize to the rightful winners after they have been signally defeated. Miss Kathleen Byam, teacher of elocution, who coached the winners to victory, is naturally indignant at the refusal of the Santa Ana school to give it up, also at the story emanating from that quarter that another debate is necessary to determine the ownership of the cup. There will be no further NEBRASKA PICNIC On Saturday, March 23rd all former residents of Nebraska and their friends are cordially invited to attend an all day state picnic and reunion at Sycamore Park, Los Angeles. There will be present several thousand former residents of the Golden Rod state and many pleasant reunions of old friends will occur. Bring well filled baskets for lunch. Coffee and ice cream for dessert will be provided on the ground. After luncheon there will be an interesting program of music and addresses by prominent visiting Nebraskans. It is expected that a celebrated group of colored jubilee singers will furnish part of the program. During the afternoon, contests in athletic sports and games will occur. A baby show with prizes for the winners will attract large numbers of beauties from Nebraska and their parents. All Nebraskans under whose eye this notice may chance to fall are urged to pass the word to their friends and acquaintances so there may be as large an attendance as possible. Miss Kathleen Byam, teacher of elocution, who coached the winners to victory, is naturally indignant at the refusal of the Santa Ana school to give it up, also at the story emanating from that quarter that another debate is necessary to determine the ownership of the cup. There will be no further debate, and the cup will be deposited among the numerous trophies won in many a hard fought contest in the field and on the rostrum by the Anaheim high school. The dispute will be submitted to the elocution teachers of the four schools having charge of the debates and that Orange and Fullerton will decide in accordance with the book of rules there can be no question. Santa Ana's attitude in this matter will meet with disfavor in the mind of everybody who believes in fairness and square dealing. This is the first year the debate has been held under the state league rules, and now that the series is over and Santa Ana defeated she childishly refuse to play under these rules and wants them altered in order to give her another chance. Another Fullerton attorney has gone into the war service. He is Harold H. Coyle, who has been government agent for Exemption District No. 2, succeeding Attorney E. J. Marks, who resigned last August when he went to the officers' training school. Marks is now a captain, acting major. Coyle left Monday with Frank K. Benchley for Fort Scott, San Francisco, entering the heavy artillery. Coyle's practice will be looked after by Attorney Albert Launer of Brea.
