NO ONE TO BLAME FOR CROSSING ACCIDENT CORONER'S JURY FAILS TO FIX RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEATH OF MRS. FAUST One Person Killed and Seventeen Seriously Injured in Collision Between S. P. Motor Coach and Truck Loaded with Gasoline, but Nobody is to Blame for the Accident. Eleven Anaheim People Badly Burned and Cut but All are Recovering. Although the coroner's jury which held an inquest over the body of Mrs. Leila May Faust, wife of Willis Faust, who was killed in an accident on the Southern Pacific last Wednesday evening, failed to fix the blame for the accident, the S. P. officials, who had previously made an investigation declared that Walter Pratt, driver of the truck which collided with the SUIT NOT LIKELY OVER SCHOOL DISTRICTS Orangethorpe Had Legal Right To Take In Territory A suit by Magnolia, Centralla, Buena Park and Loara school districts against Orangethorpe, Fullerton's new neighbor on the south, for the recovery of parts of these districts taken in at the recent incorporation of Orange thorpe as a city, was declared unlikely by attorneys. Despite the fact that these districts do not welcome the discovery that parts of their districts carrying many hundreds of thousands in assessed valuation, have been taken from them by the incorporation a suit is said to be unlikely because of a recent decision at Glendale. The same situation applied there and the courts ruled that a city has the right to take in any school districts that come within the corporate limits. Several years ago Fullerton took in a part of the Orangethorpe school district although residents of the latter did not relish the move. Orangethorpe has gained all the territory lost and will now go ahead with school improvements. The need of better schools in Orath Although the coroner's jury which held an inquest over the body of Mrs. Leila May Faust, wife of Willis Faust, who was killed in an accident on the Southern Pacific last Wednesday evening, failed to fix the blame for the accident, the S. P. officials, who had previously made an investigation declared that Walter Pratt, driver of the truck which collided with the motor coach was wholly responsible for the collision. The investigators found, according to their statement, that the crossing signal gave the usual warning, the approaching car sounded its whistle, and there was a clear view of the track for a mile on either side of the crossing. The driver either failed to both see and hear, or he misjudged the distance or the speed of the car and thought he could beat it to the crossing. This could not be classified as an unavoidable accident. It was the fruit of gross carlessness or recklessness on the part of somebody, and the guilty party should pay the penalty. The accident happened at the crossing of Long Beach Boulevard and the S. P. tracks near Huntington Park at 6 oclock Wednesday evening. A truck loaded with 3000 gallons of gasoline, attempted to cross the track in front of the motor coach, but failed to get clear, the gasoline tanks were bursted and in an instant the coach was flooded with flaming gasoline. The frantic passengers found the doors refused to open, and their only means of escape was through the dinky windows of the dinky car, and it was necessary to smash the glass. Though most of them were badly burned and cut with glass, all finally escaped with the exception of Mrs. Faust. She evidently was knocked down in the scramble, trampled upon and burned to death when the crash came, Mr. Faust, who was with his wife, grabbed her and made for a window. In endeavoring to pull her through the small opening, he fell striking his head on the ground and was rendered unconscious. He did not regain consciousness until after being taken to the hospital. Mrs. Faust fell back into the flaming car and was burned to death. Mrs. Faust was the only person killed in the accident, but seventeen were injured, some of them seriously. Eleven of the victims were from Anaheim or its immediate vicinity, but at last reports all were expected NOTICE OF APPEAL IN SCHOOL CASE Board Not Satisfied with Judge West's Decision In Abernathy Suit Notice of appeal from the peremptory writ of mandate issued by Superior Judge West in favor of Joseph R. Abernathy, ousted superintendent of the Anaheim school district, was filed in the county clerk's office, Monday by W. F. Menton and H. G. Ames, attorneys for the trustees of the school district. A motion to set aside the judgment on the ground that no findings of fact and conclusions of law have been signed or filed determining the issues of the court therein, that no decision of the court has been filed, that no final judgment has been entered and that no authority for issuance of the peremptory writ of mandat has been cited, is also on file. This motion is made returnable Friday morning at 10 o'clock and will be made before Judge West, at that time. It is understood that counsel for the trustees of the school district will announce their intention of appealing the case to the District Court of Appeals. The peremptory writ of mandate favoring Abernathy was rendered on January 11, following a hearing at Glendale. The same situation applied there and the courts ruled that a city has the right to take in any school districts that come within the corporate limits. Several years ago Fullerton took in a part of the Orangethorpe school district although residents of the latter did not relish the move. Orangethorpe has gained all the territory lost and will now go ahead with school improvements. The need of better schools in Orangethorpe has been apparent for some time and the incorporation will make this possible. Orangethorpe's incorporation took in 160 acres from the Loara district, 169 from the Magnolia district, 200 from Centralia and 80 from Buena Park. One fifth of the Magnolia district was taken by the incorporation. The attorney general has been written by the county attorney, at the instance of the county school authorities, asking for an opinion as to 240 acres of the former Orangethorpe school district which is not now a part of the City of Orangethorpe.

The peremptory writ of mandate favoring Abernathy was rendered on January 11, following a hearing of the case before Superior Judge West. Abernathy sued for $749.98, alleged to have been due as back salary covering the months of May, June, July and August, 1920. The writ of mandate ordered the board of trustees to pay part of the amount sued for.

With the death of Mrs. Adelhold Koenig-Schulte, which occurred at her home in South Pasadena, Wednesday morning, another of Anaheim’s oldest settlers passed away. Mrs Shulte died from an affection of the stomach from which she had suffered for some time, and for the relief of which he underwent an operation some months ago. She died early last FEWER CARS STOLEN DURING PAST YEAR Thieves Getting More Skillful, However, and Fewer Recovered. For the first time in the history of motoring, there was an annual decrease in the number of auto thefts during 1920 over 1919, according to a report issued by the theft bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. There were 1635 autos stolen in the southern counties during 1920 while there were 1662 reported stolen during 1919, a decrease of twenty-seven. This, according to Auto Club officials, will seem a very small figure to the casual observer, but it has a significant meaning to the local automobile owner, for it means that the wave of thefts has retreated instead of progressed. Every year, since 1912 the thieves have gained annually on the law, and this is the first time that the number of thefts has even indicated a decrease. Every effort will now be made by the authorities to keep the lead over the thieves, and further cut down the theft total. Of those cars stolen last year, 1142 were recovered, leaving 493 "outstand- GROWERS ASKING PROTECTIVE TARIFF CITRUS AND WALNUT MEN INTERESTED IN ACTIONS OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE Provisions of New Tariff Law of Vital Interest to Growers of This Neighborhood—G.

Mrs Shulte died from an affection of the stomach from which she had suffered for some time, and for the relief of which he underwent an operation some months ago. She died early last Wednesday morning, but the funeral was postponed until Monday afternoon, awaiting the arrival of her three brothers from San Francisco. Mrs. Schulte's malden name was Adelheld Eichler. She was born in September, 1844, being at the time of her death 76 years of age. Her parents emigrated to America and in her girlhood days she came to Anaheim, while the town was only a frontier village, surrounded by a wild and untamed wilderness of semi-desert vegetation. She was married here in 1870 to William Koenig, who followed closely in the footsteps of the founders of the colony. Mr. Koenig established a winery for the purpose of converting the fruit of the colonists' vineyards into a merchantable commodity, and it flourished for many years. He gained a wide reputation for the quality of his wines. For more than forty years Mr. and Mrs. Koenig lived together both being active citizens of the town, and taking prominent parts in its development. On April 1, 1911, Mr. Koenig died and some years later his widow married Antone Schulte. A couple of years later Mr. and Mrs. Schulte moved to South Pasadena, but Mrs. Schulte retained all her property interests in Anaheim, and made frequent visits to look after her affairs and visit old friends. The remains of Mrs. Schulte were brought to this city where most of her life was spent, and funeral services were held at Backs&Terry's chapel Monday afternoon. She was buried in the Koenig lot in Anaheim cemetery. She had no children but is survived by her husband, and three brothers who reside in San Francisco. Henry Oelkers of this city was a nephew of her former husband, Mr. Koenig. One of her brothers, Alphonse Eichler, came down from San Francisco to attend the funeral, but the other two, Henry and John were unable to come. NEW 'DRY' RULING PUZZLES OFFICIALS Sheriff Jackson and other Orange county authorities are pondering over a new rule promulgated by Prohibition Commissioner J. F. Kramer and the attorney general which has been received by Prohibition Agent Dan O'Leary in Los Angeles. This rule, according to Sheriff Jackson, makes it almost impossible for the prohibition enforcement officials to obtain search warrants to seek that mysterious copper boiler arrangement and home brew apparatus hidden far away in the darkest closet or the cannest nook in the cellar. Heretofore all the prohibition agent was required to do to obtain a search warrant from the United States attorney's office was to take an oath "on information and belief" that a man possessed a moonshine or home brew apparatus in his home or place of business. Now all that is changed. To obtain a search warrant now one prohibition agent must swear that he has "personal knowledge" that the suspect has a still or beermaking machinery in his possession. Every year, since 1912 the thieves have gained annually on the law, and this is the first time that the number of thefts has even indicated a decrease. Every effort will now be made by the authorities to keep the lead over the thieves, and further cut down the theft total. Of those cars stolen last year, 1142 were recovered, leaving 493 "outstanding" on which no report has been secured. On the cars stolen in 1919, 1311 were recovered, leaving 361 unrecovered, which was a better average for the law. This indicates, says the uto Club, theft bureau officers, that while the thieves are getting fewer, they are getting more skillful. In other words, only the best and most expert thieves are left in the field. The amateurs and blunderers have been eliminated. But present year already indicates a growing carlessness on the part of auto owners in failing to lock their cars when parked at the curb, and in failing to remember or register their identification marks so that the machine can be identified in other states if it is stolen. Get busy, Mr. Owner, says the club. C.C. Teague of Santa Paula, H.W. Lewis of Santa Ana, Jonas Killian of El Monte and C. Thorpe of Los Angeles appeared before the Ways and Means Committee of the House in behalf of the Walnut Protective League and asked for additional duties to prevent the ruination of this business through increasing foreign competition, especially from China. Mr. Teague presented the appeal to the committee and briefly summarized among other things. Under the Payne-Aldrich bill, the duty on unshelled walnuts was 3 cents a pound, on shelled walnuts 5 cents a pound. The Underwood bill reduced the duties to 2 cents and 4 cents, respectively. The walnut growers of America are now requesting a duty of 4 cents on unshelled walnuts and 12 cents on shelled walnuts. The acreage devoted exclusively to walnut culture on the Pacific coast totals 88,989 acres, of which 63,475 are now bearing and 25,514 non-bearing. In California, alone there are 200,000 additional acres of land available and suitable to nut culture—enough to supply the entire world consumption of this product. Under the stimulus of the Payne-Aldrich bill, the industry developed very rapidly until now the Pacific Coast production is doubling on an average of every four years. The present investment in the American walnut industry is over $110,-000,000. The present cost of producing the walnuts in America, exclusive of interest on investment, is 14,97 cents per pound. The cost of labor accounts for over 65 percent of the production cost, or nearly 10 cents per pound; whereas the labor cost in France is 2.43 cents a pound; in Italy, 1.1 cents; and in China, less than 1 cent a pound.

Bush, Old-Time Resident Here, is Dead John T. Bush, for many years well known in Anaheim and surrounding territory as a fish merchant, died at his home in Seal Beach, Monday after a long illness. Two years ago, Mr. Bush moved to Newport Beach where he conducted a fish market on the pier, but some months ago, owing to ill health he retired from the business and moved to Seal Beach in order to be near his two daughters who live there. He was born in Clay county, Missouri, seventy years ago and came to this country when a young man. Funeral services were held at Back & Terry's Undertaking Parlors at 11 o'clock Tuesday. Mr. Bush is survived by a widow, Mary Bush, and a brother and eldest, Cam Bush of Pasadena, and Mrs Colby Brown of Santa Diego, and seven children, James and Lee Bush of Brea; Mrs. Grace Stevens and Mrs. Leona Floyd, of Seal Beach; Mrs. Bertha Denyes, of Los Angeles; Mrs. Gus Wurdinger of Costa Mesa, and Mrs. Nell Badley, of Fullerton.

All visiting members of the order are invited to be present. was required to do to obtain a search warrant from the United States attorney's office was to take an oath "on information and belief" that a man possessed a moonshine or home brew apparatus in his home or place of business. Now all that is changed. To obtain a search warrant now one prohibition agent must swear that he has "personal knowledge" that the suspect has a still or beermaking machinery in his possession. Sheriff Jackson says that this sort of information does not often fall into the pathway of the most vigilant and energetic official. One new ruling follows another, according to Sheriff Jackson, and these requirements make the matter very confusing to him. He said this proposition was discussed at the recent convention of sheriffs held at Sacramento and that they were all more or less muddled up in the matter, because of the conflicting rulings issued by the powers that be. Jackson says it appears now that a government official must be present at the time a place is searched by any other officer, else there is no possible chance for conviction. Local authorities are badly handicapped by this ruling, and it will be a difficult matter to handle the situation, he says. R. D. Ross of Anselmo, Nebraska, who with his family has been spending the winter here left this week for his home. T. D. Gill and wife also of the same town, who came in December, will remain here until the snow is melted in Nebraska and the ice has disappeared. Mrs. Bertha Steadman, of Heckle, South Dakota, is visiting with the family of C. M. Hollinghead. The present cost of producing the walnuts in America, exclusive of interest on investment, is 14,97 cents per pound. The cost of labor accounts for over 65 per cent of the production cost, or nearly 10 cents per pound; whereas the labor cost in France is 2.43 cents a pound; in Italy, 1.1 cents, and in China, less than 1 cent a pound. Imports are principally from these countries. The United States is the largest and most lucrative market for the world's production of walnuts, consuming over 80,000,000 pounds annually, and owing to demoralized conditions in Europe the very favorable exchange rate to European exporters, the low cost of foreign production on account of the cheap labor and cheap foreign money, the United States is now the dumping ground for most of the foreign walnuts. The advance in freight rates since 1915 of over 1 cent a pound has added a further burden to the American producer. The increase in tariff asked for will not embargo foreign importations, nor will it add to the price of the produce to the American consumer as America is practically the only outlet for the foreign product, and even at present the foreign walnut is sold to the American consumer at approximately the same price as the American walnut, the extra profit being absorbed largely between the wholesaler and the retailer. The American grown product is much superior in quality and flavor to any of the imported walnuts and is as near perfect as American ingenuity and care can make it. In America the producing of walnuts is a highly intensive scientific and specialized business and the SKING IVE MEN INDONS OF MEANS Law of Vital This Neighwell in Washhus Men, and negation AskWalnut Inply interestof the Ways the House engaged in ff bill. Delington endeavted in the covering the series and the groves which are only grown on most valuable land, must be always kept in garden like condition. In foreign countries the production of walnuts is largely a side issue, the trees are mostly planted in pastures as roadside borders, or on otherwise practically worthless hill slopes where very little if any cultural care is given to them. The walnut industry in China is increasing very rapidly, and, owing to the low cost of labor there, the production cost is practically nothing, and this invasion of the Oriental product threatens to ruin the American industry. In the shelled walnut industry, the labor is by far the largest element of cost. In America the labor cost is approximately 20 cents a pound, where the hundreds of women that are engaged must receive the minimum wage of $2.66 per eight-hour day and must be furnished the most sanitary and pleasant working quarters; whereas in France and Italy the cracking is done mostly by old and decrepit women and children on a contract basis at less than two cents a pound. Unless a material advance in the present duty is authorized, the American shelled walnut industry will surely perish.

Directors of the exchange are enthusiastic over the offer made by the steamship company and it is probable that arrangements will be made at once to attempt the experiment. The company also offered to make a further reduction in the charges if the fruit exchange would make definite reservations for space during a twelve-month period. Charles Eygabroad, of Anaheim, who is a member of the board of directors of the exchange, was named chairman of the committee, and associated with him in investigations. Sprott and Knox, the latter being a grower at Ontario. The exchange has been discussing for fully two years the matter of attempting orange shipments to the East by water, and what may be considered the first definite step in such action was taken with the appointment of the committee to investigate and report a recommendation to the directors at their meeting Wednesday. Eygabroad took the initiative by offering a motion that such a committee be appointed. The committee met immediately following adjournment of the directors. A representative of the steamship company was present and made an offer to transport the fruit from San Pedro to Europe at $1.75 per box. The railroad freight charge to New None Seriously. Timid Anaheim people will probably be nervous hereafter if duty compels them to ride on a public conveyance out of town. Following on the heels of the accident in which Mrs. Willis Faust lost her life and eleven other people of this vicinity were seriously injured, comes news of another smashup, in which several others were hurt. This accident occurred Sunday when a Crown Stage going to Los Angeles was hit broadside by a Packard driven by E. S Stevens. The stage was going into the city over Telegraph Road, and the collision happened at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard. An oil station on the corner apparently obscured the view. The stage was shunted off the road by the impact and overturned in plowed ground imprisoning most of the twenty passengers. By a miracle almost, no one was killed or seriously injured. Among those who suffered injuries were W.C.Brown, Anaheim; Charles H. Reeder, Anaheim; Mrs. Lillian Snyder, Fullerton; J. M. McClellan and daughter of Anaheim; Mrs. F. C. Haverty, of Anaheim; Charles Federman of Anaheim, and Mrs. F. G. Lippencott, 628 North Parton Street, Santa Ana. Scratches and bruises were the extent of their injuries. Victor Alkier was driving the bus and according to P. M. Chevez, who was following him in a machine was not driving more than 15 miles an hour at the time of the accident. Stevens was driving toward Telegraph road on the Long Beach Boulevard. He admitted to parties at the time, it is asserted, that he did not know that he was near the intersection of the road. It is said that his machine was going at a fast rate of speed. It struck the bus in the rear, over the rear wheel housing, made a big dent in the body of the stage and knocked it over into an orchard by the side of the road. After striking the bus the Packard continued across the road and struck a telephone pole. The bus and car were both badly damaged. MASS MEETING FOR SWING All Farmers In County Urged To Meet Congressman Thursday, February 3rd, 2 P.M. This is the date that Congressman Swing will meet all farmers in general and report a recommendation to the directors at their meeting Wednesday. Eygabroad took the initiative by offering a motion that such a committee be appointed. The committee met immediately following adjournment of the directors. A representative of the steamship company was present and made an offer to transport the fruit from San Pedro to Europe at $1.75 per box. The railroad freight charge to New York is $1.65 per box, according to announcement by Eygabroad. The agent stated that if the exchange would contract with his company for reservations of definite refrigerator space in ships of its line a still lower rate would be made. It is expected the directors will order the shipment of 10,000 boxes to Europe as an experiment. In order to raise funds for the starving artists of Austria and their families, the Laguna Beach Art association will hold a bazaar and auction on Saturday, February 5, at the studio at Laguna, it is announced. This affair will mark the opening of the association's activities for the year. Persons desiring to contribute articles to the cause are requested to leave them at Miss Sumnor's shop in Santa Ana, or at Miss Washburn's Arts and Crafts shop in Laguna not later than February 1. The auction bazaar will mark the hanging of several new pieces in the association building and is expected to bring a large number of artists and critics to the city. The Anaheim Sanitarium Co., stockholders met in the annual session, Thursday and reelected the old board of directors. They are C. F. Grim, W. M. Wickett, C. E. Holcomb, J. L. Beebe and H. A. Johnston. After striking the bus the Packard continued across the road and struck a telephone pole. The bus and car were both badly damaged. MASS MEETING FOR SWING All Farmers in County Urged To Meet Congressman Thursday, February 3rd, 2 P.M. This is the date that Congressman Swing will meet all farmers in general at La Habra. The Farm Center of that community has invited the Farm Bureau members of the county, citrus growers, bean growers, walnut growers and other producers to get together and present their views to their representatives in Washington. Committees and delegations will be sent from Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, Costa Mesa, Capistrano, El Modena, Fullerton, Garden Grove, La Habra, Tustin, Villa Park, West Orange to present the attitudes of their respective communities on the several questions pertaining to agriculture to come before Congress. The Director of each Farm Center, unless otherwise arranged, will act as spokesman for his delegation. The school auditorium will accommodate 550 people, and every seat should be filled on this occasion. Mr. C. L. Crumrine and W. L. York, who are acting on the reception committee for the La Habra Farm Center urge all to come early to insure getting seats. Quite a number of Anaheim people have gone up into the mountains the past few days to play in the beautiful snow. Mrs. A. A. Perdomo, who is now making her home at Santa Barbara, came down the latter part of the week on a business visit.
