VOLUME XLIX G.O.P. ORGANIZES FOR AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN ANAHEIM REPUBLICANS FORM WITH JUDGE J. S. HOWARD AS ITS PRESIDENT. This Township to Have Twelve Members of the Auxiliary Campaign Committee.—Howard Takes Cook's Seat on the County Central Committee. Republicans of Anaheim are making preparations for an aggressive campaign this summer, and expect to keep the fires kindled under the political pot until the last vote is polled on the 8th of November. This is a time when the men and women who believe in the doctrine of America for Americans should get into harness and do their utmost to help in what is considered the most important campaign. RAISE IN LICENSES PROPOSED SOON Trustees Considering Plan to Secure More Money to Carry on Municipal Affairs. The city trustees met in executive session on Friday evening and it is understood a revision of the license ordinance was discussed at length. The merchants and business men generally will probably in the not far distant future be asked for a higher license rate to carry on their respective callings in this city. While the city expenditures have increased in the last two years the license rates have remained the same. Some means will have to be devised to meet this condition of affairs. At the last meeting of trustees the treasurer reported a balance of $17,000 in the general fund, which is available for current expenses. Outside of the money invested in liberty bonds, which amounts to about ten thousand dollars, the moneys in the general fund are the only finances available for keeping the municipal wheels turning. The city payroll has been increased about $8000 per year over the past two years and many needful improvements have NEW MOTION IS ONCE SWAT JUDGE WEST DECIDE SECTION UNCONSTITUTIO George Goodrum Will appeal from Fuller Violators May be Any Justice, Decla Republicans of Anaheim are making preparations for an aggressive campaign this summer, and expect to keep the fires kindled under the political pot until the last vote is polled on the 8th of November. This is a time when the men and women who believe in the doctrine of America for Americans should get into harness and do their utmost to help in what is considered the most important campaign in the nation's history. To further the cause republican clubs are being formed throughout the country, and the G. O. P. of Anaheim is keeping in line. Answering the call a number of republicans met at the Mother Colony club rooms last Wednesday evening and started the Anaheim club by effecting an organization and electing officers. Judge J. S. Howard was chosen president of the club, Paul Taggart vice-president, J. H. Whitaker secretary and H. O. Henderson treasurer. Efforts will be made to have every man and woman in the twelve precincts of Anaheim and East and West Anaheim who believe in the principles of the party, enrolled as members of the club during the campaign. Owing to the removal of committeeman E. N. Cook to Hollywood some months ago Anaheim township has had only two members on the county central committee, whereas the township is entitled to three. At the request of Chairman T. E. Stephenson this vacancy was filled by the nomination of Judge Howard. The other members are Marion Eden and Tom Morgan. Before retiring from the chairmanship of the county central committee Judge Williams recommended that an auxiliary committee of one from each precinct be appointed for the purpose of assisting the central committee in managing the campaign. President Howard Wednesday night appointed Paul Taggart, J. N. Enearl and Paul Hester a committee of three to select the auxiliary committeemen from the twelve precincts of Anaheim township. They were instructed to report their nominations at the meeting called for last night. A. C. Black, A. W. Wood, Paul Taggart and Marion Eden, appointed at a At the last meeting of trustees the treasurer reported a balance of $17,000 in the general fund, which is available for current expenses. Outside of the money invested in liberty bonds, which amounts to about ten thousand dollars, the moneys in the general fund are the only finances available for keeping the municipal wheels turning. The city payroll has been increased about $8000 per year over the past two years and many needful improvements have been put in at the power house, especially in the water department. This all cost money. The trustees now find it necessary to secure more funds and a raise in the city license is the only avenue. The board took up the proposition of forming an improvement district, the object being the cutting down of the frontage of the Dreyfus building on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. The board also discussed the lowering of the electric light rates, but it is understood that the rates will not be changed. The rates now charged in this city are really lower than those in many other cities. The same applies to power rates, excepting where a large amount of energy is used by the larger consumers. PROF. ABERNATHY FAVORS IMPROVEMENTS Looks Like Zeyn Street will be Paved, as Many Residents Desire It—Up to Trustees. On Friday evening last City Clerk Merritt tried to get Prof. J. K. Abernathy on the phone to ask permission to use the Fremont front room for a polling place, and was told that he could find the professor in the Masonic lodgeroom. Merritt did not know how to gain admittance to the inner circles of the fraternal organization, and just then Charley Mann came in, and was deputized to bring the Professor into the council room. Presently both gentlemen appeared, and Prof. Abernathy, finding himself in the midst of a group of men, and after formal introduction to those with whom he had not met, asked what was up. Clerk Merritt said he just wanted to know... A. C. Black, A. W. Wood, Paul Taggart and Marion Eden, appointed at a previous meeting to solicit funds for the campaign, were expected to report last night. They have been meeting with good success as the faithful are all anxious to have a finger in the pie, and contribute their mite toward the cause. The national committee has decreed that no subscriptions of more than one thousand dollars shall be accepted, consequently the campaign must be financed by the rank and file of the party. Orange county was expected to raise $3900, of which $500 was apportioned to Anaheim. Other sections have already reported subscriptions for above the quota, and it is expected this city will not fall behind them. Half of the money raised will be sent to the national committee, and the other half used locally. There are probably 1500 republican voters in this township. Every one of them, man or woman, should be enrolled as members of the club, and present a solid wall in defense of republican principles. The club is not endorsing any candidate, but will abide by the decision of the convention, and help elect the nominee. Reports from the Heffern well say it is showing real oil at a depth of 4300 feet, the best showing since drilling began. Merritt did not know how to gain admittance to the inner circles of the fraternal organization, and just then Charley Mann came in, and was deputized to bring the Professor into the council room. Presently both gentlemen appeared, and Prof. Abernathy, finding himself in the midst of a group of men, and after formal introduction to those with whom he had not met, asked what was up. Clerk Merritt said he just wanted to know if the city could use a room in the Fremont school for a polling place for the forthcoming city election, and received immediate assurance to just help himself. While enjoying a sociable chat with those present Prof. Abernathy asked the trustees when they were going to pave Zeyn street. The professor said before he bought his place on that residential thoroughfare a man came to him, saying: "I wouldn't advise you to buy on that street, because they will soon be paving it and the extra cost will fall on you." "The sooner they pave the better it suits me," replied the professor, "and I'm going to buy there right away." The other man looked astonished. Prof. Abernathy was told by the trustees that they were not now considering street paving, but they would give the subject consideration later on. Nathan Gilmore, aged 75, died at his home east of Fullerton Saturday. He was a member of the Grand Army, and funeral services were held under the auspices of Malvern Hill post Monday afternoon. His daughter, Miss Verna Gilmore, is a Red Cross nurse, now in France. When the defendant filed a demurrer on the complaint did not offense. The demurrer ruled, Goodrum interjected that no evidence on the ground that they not state a public court had no jurisdiction was a case then pending in justice court at San Francisco against offense act under which he was unconstitutional for that the offense charged in the title of the Sub-section C was so ambiguous that it was tell what the legislature in handing down his West summed up his allowances: 1. That the justice Ana township acquired the offense alleged; 2. That by dismissing plaintiff and not filing an plaintiff in the same court jurisdiction, and the Jail Fullerton township nected. 3. That the Motor so far as it attempts exclusive jurisdiction to try in the township in which was committed, unconstitutional. 4. Owing to the co- AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, February 26, 1920 NEW MOTOR LAW IS ONCE AGAIN SWATTED JUDGE WEST DECLARES A CERTAIN SECTION OF THE LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. George Goodrum Wins His Suit on Appeal from Fullerton Township—Violators May be Arraigned Before Any Justice, Declares the Court. The new California motor vehicle law is being pulled to pieces and cast into the waste basket by Orange county’s superior judges. Two sections have been declared unconstitutional, and probaly the act would be improved if a few others were treated likewise. Some months ago Walter Heisheusen was arrested near one of the gun club preserves charged with violating the motor law by discharging a gun in the highway. The case was taken before ed, there is no necessity for deciding whether the complaint states a public offense. "It is therefore ordered that the defendant be discharged." The clause in the motor vehicle act which Judge West held unconstitutional was understood to have been fathared by numbers of legislators who were cognizant of the unyielding attitude which several justices of the peace in various counties of the state held toward speeders. Chief among the justices who were thorns in the side of these legislators was Justice John B. Cox. The law-makers who were hostile toward Justice Cox and others who dealt firmly with speeders sought to put through a law which would remove persons charged with speeding and other misdemeanors from the jurisdiction of the officials in question. They wanted—and succeeded in putting through, during the closing days of the legislature—the section of the Motor Vehicle Act which required that a person charged with a misdemeanor in connection with an automobile case be tried in the township in which the offense was alleged to have been committed, if he requested trial in that town- PITCHING COINS IS A HEINOUS OFFENSE BUT PLAYING ROULETTE WHEEL REGARDED ONLY AS INNOCENT PASTIME.

Two sections have been declared unconstitutional, and probaly the act would be improved if a few others were treated likewise. Some months ago Walter Heisheusen was arrested near one of the gun club preserves charged with violating the motor law by discharging a gun in the highway. The case was taken before Judge Williams and his honor after hearing the evidence and considering the matter, declared that section of the law unconstitutional. And now, for an entirely different offense, Judge West has ruled that the section governing it is unconstitutional, and ordered the prisoner discharged. Both the defendants or violators of the law were Anaheim men. The decision handed down by Judge West Saturday was reached after he had had under advisement for several days the case of George Goodrum, automobile dealer, of Anaheim, who, through Attorney A. E. Koepsel, took an appeal from justice court in Fullerton township, where Goodrum had been found guilty of a charge of driving an automobile at a rate of speed in excess of thirty miles per hour during the period of from half an hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise of the succeeding day, and at the same time driving his automobile in excess of fifteen miles an hour while approaching and crossing an intersection. The particular clause of the motor vehicle act of 1919 which Goodrum was charged with, having violated was Sub-section C. of Section 22. The complaint was filed in justice court of Santa Ana township on December 19, 1919, and a warrant of arrest issued. On the same day the district attorney moved to dismiss the complaint for the purpose of amending it, and on the following day a complaint in the same form and verbiage as the original was filed in justice court of Fullerton township and a second warrant issued. When the defendant appeared he filed a demurrer on the ground that the complaint did not state a public offense. The demurrer being over-ing and other misdemeanors from the jurisdiction of the officials in question. They wanted—and succeeded in putting through, during the closing days of the legislature—the section of the Motor Vehicle Act which required that a person charged with a misdemeanor in connection with an automobile case be tried in the township in which the offense was alleged to have been committed, if he requested trial in that township. CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP IN BIG BUSINESS HOUSE Firm of Walter & Day Dissolved, J. E. Walter Continuing at Old Stand. An important business change has taken place in Anaheim, and will come as a surprise to the general public. The firm of Walter & Day, composed of J. E. Walter and C. O. Day, local distributors of the Premier and Mitchell cars and the Allwork tractor, has been dissolved, the dissolution taking place by mutual consent. Mr. Day retires from the firm. Walter & Day started in business here a year and a half ago in the building at the northwest corner of Center and Olive streets, where the headquarters are still located and the business of the firm has grown and expanded steadily until today the institution is recognized as one of the leading commercial establishments of the city. Mr. Walter will continue the business under the firm name of J. E. Walter & Company, and will continue to distribute the Premier and the Mitchell cars and the Allwork tractor, with all of which Walter & Day have made such signal success. Charles O. Day, the retiring member of the firm, has made many friends in Anaheim and vicinity who will wish him success wherever he happens to cast his lot. He has not fully decided just what he will turn his attention to, but it is learned that it is highly probable that he will remove to Long Beach and become the distributor there of the Premier and Mitchell, the cars with which he ing and other misdemeanors from the jurisdiction of the officials in question. They wanted—and succeeded in putting through, during the closing days of the legislature—the section of the Motor Vehicle Act which required that a person charged with a misdemeanor in connection with an automobile case be tried in the township in which the offense was alleged to have been committed, if he requested trial in that township. The delinquents particularly in the limelight are Anaheim and Fullerton, where within the last few weeks the more or less strong arm of the law has been invoked in the never-ending battle against sin, the specific instances being the arrest of a couple of plasanos at Anaheim who were caught redhanded in the very act of pitching pennies at a crack and who were haled before His Honor "to love, honor and protect" John B. Cox to answer for their crime. No arrests have yet been made in Fullerton, although evidence is said to be pilling up at the sheriff's office to prove conclusively that the town is overrun with ping-pong addicts and other undesirables who constitute a menace to the morals of the community. Placentia and Brea are also on the list, it being a matter of common knowledge that many of the residents of these places are shamelessly flaunting the fact that they have made fortunes by gambling, risking their good hard cash on a shoestring and winning the proverbial tanyard in the way of producing oil wells. It's all very sad, and very much sadder still when it is known that Santa Ana has been for months engaged in what might be termed a continuous performance of slugging Satan through the medium of imported and local religious spell-binders, to say nothing of the efforts of an alleged highly moral aggregation of entertainers that played a five-day engagement there last week and incidentally raked in a goodly bunch of the long green, the contributions coming from saint and sinner alike, as opportunity was afforded to all and sundry who felt so disposed to dally with the roulette wheel and other seductive methods of segregating the unsophisticated from the county seat where manipulators of the political ouija board are wont to occupy the center of the stage.

When the defendant appeared he filed a demurrer on the ground that the complaint did not state a public offense. The demurrer being overruled, Goodrum interposed the objection that no evidence be received on the ground that the compliant did not state a public offense, that the court had no jurisdiction, that there was a case then pending against him in justice court at Santa Ana for the same alleged offense, and that the act under which he was charged was unconstitutional for two reasons—that the offense charged was not contained in the title of the act, and that Sub-section C was so uncertain and ambiguous that it was impossible to tell what the legislature meant. In handing down his decision Judge West summed up his findings as follows: 1. That the justice court of Santa Ana township acquired jurisdiction of the offense alleged; 2. That by dismissing the complaint and not filing an amended complaint in the same court, the court lost jurisdiction, and the justice court of Fullerton township never had jurisdiction. 3. That the Motor Vehicle Act, so far as it attempts to legislate exclusive jurisdiction to the justice court in the township in which the offense was committed, unconstitutional and void.

He has not fully decided just what he will turn his attention to, but it is learned that it is highly probable that he will remove to Long Beach and become the distributor there of the Premier and Mitchell, the cars with which he is so familiar, and there being no agency there for these machines. The hosts of friends of Joe Walter will be pleased to learn that he is to remain here and still continue to be one of the live wires of Anaheim. Mr. Walter will add new capital to the business and expand it as he believes it should be expanded to meet the ever-increasing demand for the popular makes of cars that he handles. It will be welcome news also to the many patrons of the house to learn that Walter Hodges will continue with Mr. Walter at the old and well-known stand at the corner of Center and Olive. J. H. CLABAUGH SUFFERING PARALYTIC STROKE Removal to Santa Fe Hospital at Los Angeles for Treatment Monday. J. H. Clabaugh, agent for the Santa Fe railroad, was taken to the company's hospital at Los Angeles Monday evening for treatment after an illness of two weeks following a stroke of paralysis. His lower limbs are paralyzed, if is reported, and his arms also effected, but it is hoped treatment at the hospital will speedily restore him nothing of the efforts of an alleged highly moral aggregation of entertainers that played a five-day engagement there last week and incidentally raked in a goodly bunch of the long green, the contributions coming from saint and sinner alike, as opportunity was afforded to all and sundry who felt so disposed to daily with the roulette wheel and other seductive methods of segregating the unsophisticated from his or her cash, and to avail themselves of the more or less elusive possibility of securing full ownership in a fifteen cent kewpie at an expenditure of five dollars. And besides the material gain thus made possible, a liberal education in the wonders of nature was offered the public (and eagerly accepted) by the exhibition of a "wild man from Borneo," brought at tremendous expense from the jungles of Stingaree town, San Diego, and the "Monkey Woman," a boy recruit from a Southern California detention home, whom savants from the Gospel Swamp and Tomato Springs sagely declared was the real thing although the dictates of true aesthetic taste might demand more substantial clothing than a gee string and a coat of red ochre as a to his usual health. Mr. Clabaugh has been the Santa Fe's representative here for more than a quarter of a century, having been appointed agent at Anaheim twenty-six years ago. During his illness N. F. Kuhlman, assistant agent, has harge of the station. Mr. Clabaugh's numerous friends hope for his spedy recovery and his restoration to the position which he has filled so satisfactorily or so many years.

And as variety is said to be the spice of life, the strenuous art of physical culture has taken a more or less violent strangle hold on the inhabitants of the sister city, and the manly art is periodically exemplified at the old opera house by a bunch of pork-and-beaners recruited from Los Angeles who aspire to fistic honors via the Jack Dempsey route. And so everything goes, and now that Santa Ana is all lined up on the straight and narrow road the next thing on the program will probably be to make it by county ordinance a misdemeanor to pitch pennies in Anaheim or to engage in any other equally pernicious form of entertainment without first securing a special permit from the moral mentors at the county seat.

This paper is not disposed to uphold or sympathize with violators of the law, believing all laws and ordinances were enacted for the purpose of governing our conduct and should be rigidly obeyed. Neither is it our intention to criticize the good people of Santa Ana for their manner of interpreting the actions of citizens of that city, but we rise to enquire why it is the guardians of the peace and dignity of the county should be able to see, with an unerring vision, every small infraction of the statutes at a remote distance, but their eyes are turned elsewhere when a similar thing occurs within the shadow of their temple of justice. A week or two ago, during a rainy day, a couple of Anaheim Mexicans, whose work was interrupted by the storm, whiled away a tedious hour pitching small coins at a hole in the ground. It was a long way to Santa Ana, but their reprehensible employment was observed or reported to the guardians of the people's morals, and two deputies from the sheriff's office came over and arrested them. They were arraigned before Judge Cox charged with the helnous offense of gambling, but after hearing the evidence his honer did a surprising thing—he discharged them. The judge held that nobody had been injured by their pitching coins at a hole in the ground, and that the morals of the community would not be greatly improved by incarcerating them in jail for a term, therefore he sent them home to resume their occupation of providing for their families. It was a surprising thing for a Santa Ana judge to do. In the eyes of the culprits he was a Daniel come to judgment. Week before last Santa Ana entertained a carnival, one of those traveling aggregations showing strange animals and impossible freaks from the four quarters of the earth. Of the concessions carried by the show we know nothing, except that the untamed woman, captured in darkest Africa or the wildest and most remote corner of the earth, who, presumably, was a nature freak in regard to her diet. Here is a task awaiting the authorities of this city which may cause them sleepless nights, but upon the other hand it would not be so hard to solve if they could only secure the co-operation of the motor vehicle traveling public. The object to be sought is to reduce the congestion at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets, which is also spreading to Lemon and Center. By diverting traffic onto Palm street off from the state highway on the north, a great number of vehicles could be sent through town on that thoroughfare on their way south. Palm street is on a direct line with the state highway, but owing to the unpaved portion of the county road in that particular instance, traffic makes a turn there to the east and cuts a letter "S" in getting onto North Los Angeles street. In all probability 95 per cent of the traveling public come in that way. Lately some have been swinging onto North Lemon, which helps out a good deal. The automobiles are increasing at a great rate, and street congestions in time will be serious, especially for through traffic. By continuing on a straight course and using Palm street a big relief would be had. This might mean paving that street, but enterprising citizens say paving is a good investment. There has been some talk of putting on a traffic officer at the Center and Los Angeles street intersection, but during certain hours of the day, especially between five and seven in the evenings, it is doubtful if an officer there could be of any avail. There would then be a jam either way for some distance should the travelers be checked down to five miles an hour at this point. However, this might be the very means to divert the traffic onto other streets and may solve the problem. PROMINENT WOMAN SUMMONED BY DEATH Mrs. Arthur Porter Dies While Visiting Friends in Texas. Arthur L. Porter arrived at home Sunday night from Ralston, Texas, bringing with him the remains of his wife, Jennie Porter, who died in that city Tuesday afternoon of last week. A telegram was received by Mr. Por- Week before last Santa Ana entertained a carnival, one of those traveling aggregations showing strange animals and impossible freaks from the four quarters of the earth. Of the concessions carried by the show we know nothing, except that the untamed woman, captured in darkest Africa or the wildest and most remote corner of the earth, who, presumably, was a nature freak in regard to her diet, turned out to be a boy who has formerly been a resident of Santa Ana and ran away from home some time previously to see the world. But accompanying the show were a number of gambling devices, among them a roulette wheel, and these it is said, proved very attractive to the good people of Santa Ana. Staid pillars of the church patronized them to an alarming extent, passing many dollars to the manipulators in their endeavors to win a prize. There was little intrinsic value in the prizes offered, but it seems the deacons and elders were animated in their desire to win by the same gambling spirit that impelled the unfortunate Anaheim Mexicans to pitch coins at a hole in the ground. Of course the guardians of the law did not molest these citizens of Santa Ana. They were gambling, but whether or not gambling is a sin depends on who the gambler is. It is an ungodly pursuit for an Anaheim Mexican to gamble but only an innocent pastime when indulged in by the Santa Ana deacon. Anyway the Mexican, measuring him as a composite individual, is a bad hombre, an Ishmaelite, and according to the belief of some people, he should be kept constantly in fear of the law by stern discipline. PROMINENT WOMAN SUMMONED BY DEATH Mrs. Arthur Porter Dies While Visiting Friends in Texas. Arthur L. Porter arrived at home Sunday night from Ralston, Texas, bringing with him the remains of his wife, Jennie Porter, who died in that city Tuesday afternoon of last week. A telegram was received by Mr. Porter last Sunday announcing her serious illness. He left Monday morning for Texas, but while he was en route word was received here that she was dead. Mrs. Porter had been visiting relatives in Arizona, and while there nursed a number of persons suffering from the flu. The latter part of last week she started for Texas, but was taken sick on the train, and was very ill when she arrived at Ralston. She died a couple of days after reaching her destination. Mrs. Porter's entire life has been spent in northern Orange county. She was the daughter of H. A. Stough, one of the early settlers of Anaheim. She was one of the most prominent women in this section, and her death will be mourned by a host of friends. Besides her mother, Mrs. Stough, who is still living at Placentia, she leaves a husband and two children, Leo Porter and Mrs. Al Johnson. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 o'clock p.m., Rev. Frank Dowling officiating, interment being in Loma Vista cemetery. If Andrew Jackson could attend a present day Jackson Day Democratic dinner his remarks would not be fit for publication, anyway.
