Talking Shakespeare is rather a big undertaking by a high school class, but the play has been used by the class in expression in studying dramatic technique. After becoming letter perfect, and after several weeks' diagnosing and discussing the characters, the class members determined to let the public judge as to their interpretation of Shylock, Portia, Antonio, etc. The entire presentation was a home production with the exception of the costumes which were secured in Los Angeles. The scenery was all built and painted by Prof. Vander Veer's manual arts department and Miss Lopez's budding young artists. The music was also rendered by students, and was excellent. On the whole the large audience was well pleased with the presentation. Excitement ran high at the General Petroleum's Yerington well on Monday morning. The well had been cemented and standing for ten days. The inspector arrived at 7 a.m. Monday morning and the men startled to bale out to inspect the cement work. Instead of water, they found eight feet of good black oil. And they have not even drilled to oil sand as yet, being down only 2980 feet, there is an excellent prospect for another gusher. The well is located in the sandwash which Standard Oil inspectors have declared is just above the oil strata and parallels it. The Standard holds a lease of sixty acres adjoining this property and following the wash, upon which development work is expected to start at once. NEW CITIZENS Seven Orange county men, five of whom were subjects of Great Britain, one a native of Sweden and the seventh a native of France, Monday became citizens of the United States, when, following their examination before Judge R. Y. Williams in the superior court they were granted naturalization papers by Naturalization Examiner William Handy of Los Angeles. Those to receive naturalization papers were Herbert Hall, native of Canada, formerly of 417 West Fourth street, but now of Los Angeles; Joseph H. Lippiatt, 1315 Bush street and Lionel J. Lippiatt, Tustin, brothers, and natives of England; Walter Pass, 820 West Third street, native of England; Thomas Devine, Garden Grove, native of Ireland; Ellinar F. N. Crane, Fullerton, native of Sweden, and Pierre Regla, 410 East Fourth street, native of France. Members of Santa Ana chapter D. A. R., headed by Mrs. C. F. Smith, took part in the program. Following their acceptance as citizens of the United States, each of the newly naturalized citizens was presented with an American flag by Master Tommy Hill, after which Miss Catherine Swales delivered the American creed. Col. B. T. Beale and a number of U. R. K. P left Saturday for Camp Curry in the Yosemite, where the grand lodge is in session. Those accompanying the colonel were Captains Amstutz and Hauser; Lieutenants Marrockwell, West, Shaw, Hatfield, Robinson, Cain, Fossek, Seal, Goodrich, son, Cain, Fossek, Leal, Goodrich, Hedges, Witmer, Schumacher, Waitman, Kufhorber, Mills and Cobb.

There are 9500 posts in the country, and it is hoped that two million members will be added during the week. Considerably less than half of the boys eligible to membership now belong to the order, and it is believed this campaign will result in bringing a large percentage of the outs into the fold. Counting those who went into the service from Orange county and those Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff left yesterday on an extended tour in the north. They go as far as Chico in an auto, taking the train there for points farther north. They will see all the sights in western Canada as well as the northwestern part of the United States before returning. They expect to be gone several mouths. Robert A. Harlow, who was seriously injured when a hearse which he was driving was hit by a Santa Fe train at the Santa Clara avenue crossing, south of Santa Ana on April 29 died in a Santa Ana hospital Saturday, from the effect of his injuries. A coroner's jury Monday censured the railroad company for its negligence in maintaining a dangerous crossing. Harlow was a brother of Mrs. A. J. Lawton, and was well known throughout the county. Many years ago he was a resident of this city. J. H. Clabaugh returned some days ago from the Santa Fe hospital at Los Angeles. He was taken to the hospital a couple of months ago for treatment, and is gradually recovering. His friends hope to see him again able to resume his duties as Santa Fe agent. Mrs. Delos Morton of Los Angeles, formerly a well known resident of this city died at her home last Thursday. MARSHAL WOOD HANDS IN HIS RESIGNATION CITY TRUSTEES MEET IN REGULAR SESSION AND RECEIVE OFFICERS REPORTS City Clerk Merritt Submits Annual Report, Summary of Which Will Be Found on Another Page of This Issue—Several Ordinances Passed The meetings of the city council are always fraught with more or less interest and the sessions of the solons Thursday night attracted quite a number of citizens who came out to see the councilmen perform while guiding the ship of state. It was noised around that the name of the new marshal would be announced, but as yet that urbane personage still lingers in the background. At a previous executive session the advisability of appointing an out-of-town gentleman, who, until recently held an important county position, was dis- American Legion for membership. There are 9500 posts in the country, and it is hoped that two million members will be added during the week. Considerably less than half of the boys eligible to membership now belong to the order, and it is believed this campaign will result in bringing a large percentage of the outs into the fold. Counting those who went into the service from Orange county and those who have come in since, there are probably 2500 eligible men in the county, and the membership in the six posts aggregate less than one thousand. Following is the membership, approximately: Santa Ana ...400 Anaheim ...250 Orange ...100 Fullerton ...80 Huntington Beach ...75 Brea ...30 Total ...935 There are six hundred boys who wore the khaki and blue within the jurisdiction of the Anaheim post, and every one should be a member, whereas only 250 of them belong. President Webb of the Anaheim post says the boys have set their mark at 150 new names on the roll during the drive, making the total membership 400. There is no reason why any boy who has an honorable discharge from the army or navy should refuse to join. The admission fee and the dues are insignificant. Should the Anaheim post succeed in raising its membership to 400 steps will be immediately taken to build a club house, according to President Webb. It will not be an elaborate or costly affair, but it will be a cozy headquarters for the post, where everything will be arranged for the comfort and amusement of the members. A gymnasium and bath house will be adjuncts to the place. MISS STEADMAN ENTERTAINS The piano pupils of Miss Lela Steadman gave a recital at her home, 122 East Broadway, Monday afternoon. Many numbers were played and elicited praise from those present. After the program, refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. Those present were Dorothy Fox, Hazel Fox, Evelyn J. H. Clabaugh returned some days ago from the Santa Fe hospital at Los Angeles. He was taken to the hospital a couple of months ago for treatment, and is gradually recovering. His friends hope to see him again able to resume his duties as Santa Fe agent. Mrs. Delos Morton of Los Angeles, formerly a well known resident of this city, died at her home last Thursday. Interment was made in Anaheim cemetery on Saturday. Mr. Miller, factory man, will demonstrate the new Oliver typewriter May 24. Price $57. Easy terms. If interested, leave name at Gazette office. The German Methodists are now at work on their new church on West Broadway. It is being built of hollow tile, and will cost $8500. The old church was torn down in order to make room for the new, and meetings are being held in a tent. Three Orange county men were elected at Santa Barbara as delegates from California and Nevada to the national G.A.R. encampment to be held in Atlantic City on September 26. They are S.W.Sutton and O.H.Maryatt of Santa Ana and Dr.D.W.Hasson of Buena Park. Maryatt will go east by way of the Panama canal. A report that Maryatt was a candidate for department commander at the Santa Barbara encampment was erroneous. The name of Mrs.H.Clay Kellogg of Santa Ana as president of the W.R.C., for the department was not presented to the W.R.C.gathering. It was stated that she would be a candidate next year. THREE BOY BURGLARS LAND IN THE BASTILE Postoffice and Griffith Lumber Company's Office Raided by Them When Chief of Police Wood arrived at his office Tuesday morning he found three bad burglars languishing in jail, their names and the offense charged against them being recorded on the police blotter. They were Ascencion Hernandez, aged 12; Roque Revira, aged 12; and Paul Hernandez, Thursday night attracted quite a number of citizens who came out to see the councilmen perform while guiding the ship of state. It was noised around that the name of the new marshal would be announced, but as yet that urbane personage still lingers in the background. At a previous executive session the advisability of appointing an out-of-town gentleman, who, until recently held an important county position, was discussed, but owing to the spirited opposition of one of the trustees, who it is said preferred charges against him, his application was withdrawn from the board. Of this, perhaps more will be said later. At the regular session Thursday night when the board again deferred action in making a selection for the head of the police department, Marshal A.W.Wood tendered his resignation, asking that the same be accepted at the board's earliest convenience. Now appears O.B.Baxter, a deputy who makes application for the position, but the chairman referred the matter to the police committee, of which Trustee Mann is chairman. In all probability an appointment will be made at the next meeting of the board. The finance committee audited bills as follows, which were paid: General fund ...$9590.07 Library fund ...238.00 Redemption fund ...274.75 Total ...$10,102.82 Officers reports were received as follows: Marshal, col. license ...$518.25 Recorder, 4 cases, fines ...20.00 Rate collector— For water ...$1651.40 For light ...4266.10 Total ...$5913.50 Delinquents collected— For light ...$207.40 For water ...193.95 Penalties ...20.95 Total ...$421.40 Delinquents reported— For light ...$189.50 For water ...161.85 Total ...$351.40 Electrician, collected ...$40.80 Plumbing inspector ...$104.95 The city treasurer reported a balance of $14,463.08 in general fund MISS STEADMAN ENTERTAINS The piano pupils of Miss Lela Steadman gave a recital at her home, 122 East Broadway, Monday afternoon.

Postoffice and Griffith Lumber Company's Office Raided by Them When Chief of Police Wood arrived at his office Tuesday morning he found three bad burglars languishing in jail, their names and the offense charged against them being recorded on the police blotter. They were Ascencion Hernandez, aged 12; Roque Revira, aged 12; and Paul Hernandez, aged 10. They were arrested by Officers Choate and Baxter at 11 o'clock the previous night on a charge of entering the postoffice and the Griffith Lumber company's office with felonious intent, and some hours later after being placed on the grill, the boys confessed. At the lumber office they got nothing but some lead pencils and pen points. At the postoffice they carried away $2.12 in pennies and the contents of a small package, presumably candy. A complete examination was made by Postmaster Ahlborn and his force, but it could not be determined that anything else was missing. The boys secured entrance to the postoffice by climbing through the transom directly over the general delivery window. Officer Choate found them in the lobby, chased them out and ordered them to go directly home. He was not awar that they had been in the office. Later they were arrested by Choate and Officer Baxter in the rear of the S. Q. R. store where they were attempting to rob the Husmon & Groos barber shop. They were placed in jail and later turned over to the juvenile officers. Principal J. R. Parker and three teachers of the Fullerton grammar school have tendered their resignations to the board.

Total cash, $19,673.24. Liberty bonds, etc., $8,034.00. Committee on public improvements recommended placing of street lights on East street, West Broadway. The city attorney was granted further time relative to formation of improvement district on West Center street, in which area is located the Kroeger and Dreyfus buildings. An ordinance relative to moving of buildings was introduced. An ordinance making it a misdemeanor for allowing minors to enter pool halls was given first reading. W.A.Wallace was re-appointed rate collector, with salary of $130 per month. J.S.Howard was reappointed to the oce of city recorder. V.W.Hannum was appointed deputy electrician, and Mr.Price of the engineer corps was appointed deputy plumbing inspector. These deputyships are under the office of city recorder. City Clerk Merritt submitted his annual report, showing finances of the city for the past year. The document is presented in Mr.Merritt's usual capable and businesslike manner and was perused with interest by the trustees.

Renner returned home from the Chautauqua Wednesday night they found that their home had been ransacked by burglar during their absence, and goods principally jewelry and clothing, to the value of $300 carried off. Footprints indicated that there were two burglars. Entrance was gained by cutting the screen on a kitchen window. Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Whitney, who live on Kroeger street, had a similar experience to that of Mr. and Mrs. Renner. On reaching home from the Chautauqua on the same night they found their home turned topsy turvy by burglar, but apparently not much of value was taken. Evidence secured by a sheric's officer indicated that the men who visited the Whitney home were the same who operated at the Renner place. HOW SALVATION ARMY CARES FOR UNFORTUNATES ELKS JUBILATE OVER BUNCH OF CAPTIVES 36 CANDIDATES FOR INITIATION PARADE IN CHAINS THROUGH STREETS OF CITY Half a Thousand of the Antlered Herd in Line Make Rome Howl With Unseemly Noise—Bolsheviki Element Breaks Away and Captures Fairyland Theater It is officially reported that only five hundred Elks were in the possession that paraded Center street from the hall to Helena and back again Wednesday night, but if a blind man had witnessed the parade and judged the numbers participating by the noise they made he would have placed them at five thousand. The occasion for all the hilarity was the fact that a large list of candidate were being taken into the lodge that night, and in order to give them a gentle hint of what awaited them later in HOW SALVATION ARMY CARES FOR UNFORTUNATES Fifty Thousand Children Provided for by the Institutions The United States government last year spent $47,000,000 to help farmers produce better cattle, corn and hogs but not one cent was spent for better babies. The Salvation Army through its rescue and maternity homes and day nurseries spends thousands annually providing nourishment and care for 50,000 children entrusted to it. More than 2,000 unfortunate girls apply at the rescue and maternity homes alone and nearly each of these ultimately adds a child to the Army's responsibility. In the two rescue and maternity homes of the Salvation Army in California, the Beulah home in Oakland and the Truelove home in Los Angeles, more than 200 girls and their babies are sheltered each year. The records of these homes show that approximately 85 per cent of these girls permanently regain their lost position in the social scheme of things. This the Army accomplishes by keeping, so far as possible, the mother with her child and developing in her pride and interest in her child. The outcast girl mother and her child is one of the big social problems which the Salvation Army is endeavoring to solve in California through its home service program this year. This program is being financed by the appeal now being placed before the people of California by permanent advisory boards of the Army in every county. FARM BUREAU OFFICERS W. M.

Mission that paraded Center street from the hall to Helena and back again Wednesday night, but if a blind man had witnessed the parade and judged the numbers participating by the noise they made he would have placed them at five thousand. The occasion for all the hilarity was the fact that a large list of candidate were being taken into the lodge that night, and in order to give them a gentle hint of what awaited them later in the evening the bunch was taken out on the street and paraded before the populace in chains. Fifty new members were to have been taken in, but some got away, or were unable to be present, the actual number who rode the goat being thirty-six. Their names were: W. E. Robertson, G. A. Mills, Robt. C. Mills, J. J. Dwyer, A. Johnston, H. L. Hoxworthy, Burr D. Phinney, Willard L. Burdick, E. Zumwalt, A. B. Johnston, Wm. C. Watson, O. Tullberg, Roy C.

The procession was headed by the Elks band, which formerly was the Anaheim band until all the members joined the antlered herd. After the band came a truck on which was a large cage, three of the initiates, heavily handcuffed, being incarcerated in the cage. Then came the other candidates, all of them being handicuffed to a long log chain. This was followed by the official goat which was in charge of ex-Mayor Dwyer, and judging from the wall the over-worked animal was sending forth he wasn't enjoying the prospect ahead of him. Then followed the members of the lodge, the offices in the lead and a hundred or more bolsheviks bringing up the rear. The bolshevik contingent was headed by the Elks fife and drum corps. The procession made its presence known by burning red lights, firing artillery and yelling like a band of painted Indians. On the return trip the bolshevik element broke away from the main body and invaded the Fairylandthea- FARM BUREAU OFFICERS W. M. Belding, president, Tustin. W. L. York, vice president, La Habra.

With bumper crops prevailing in practically all the grain, growing sections of Orange county, thresher owners in the county are anticipating a lively season. Growers of such crops that are to be threshed, are going to have to pay a little more for separating the grain from the chaff than they have had to pay in past seasons, for the high cost of operation has hit the owners of threshing equipment as it has hit other lines of endeavor. The increase for threshing will average about 35 per cent over last year and an increase in wages amounting to about an average of about 25 per cent will rule. Then followed the members of the lodge, the offices in the lead and a hundred or more bolsheviks bringing up the rear. The bolshevik contingent was headed by the Elks life and drum corps. The procession made its presence known by burning red lights, firing artillery and yelling like a band of painted Indians. On the return trip the bolsheviki element broke away from the main body and invaded the Fairyland theater, marching up one lise and down the other, terrorizing the timid portion of the audience. The leader of the reeds was garbed to fit the character. He also flourished a long and wicked looking knife, carried a red lantern, and had a bomb or two concealed about his person. The doorkeeper made no attempt to block his entrance. The Anaheim Elks lodge now number nearly 600 members, an increase of 500 since it was instituted three years ago. This is the most rapid increase ever shown by a lodge in the history of Elkdom. New plans for the beautiful temple are being prepared by an architect, and as soon as they are submitted and accepted work will begin on the structure at the corner of Sycamore and Los Angeles streets. The temple will cost $150,000 and will be the most beautiful thing of its kind in Southern California with the exception of the new million dollar home the Los Angeles Elks are building. The Anaheim team defeated Los Angeles in the Southern California Elks bowling tourney at the Mason alleys Friday night. Los Angeles won first game by seven pins, but lost second by 55 and third by 120. Efker made the high score of 235 pins.
