VOLUME L. PLAN TO COMBAT TWO PROPOSED NEW LAWS ASSEMBLYMAN HART HOLDS CONFERENCES ON MOMENTOUS QUESTIONS IN THIS CITY Confers With S. A. R. D. ...Relative to Proposal to Place Water Companies Under the Railroad Commission, and Later Discusses With the Supervisors Scheme to put Oil Companies on Public Utilities Roll, which Would Rob the County of Over a Million Dollars a Year. Threatened legislation, which would seriously effect the interests of the people is causing considerable uneasiness in Orange county, and steps are being taken to combat certain measures now pending before the law makers at Sacramento. One of the propositions is a bill directing that all water companies shall be observed by the supervisors, who are considering the advisability of utilizing the same material on road work in this county. A state convention of county auditors and tax collectors will be held in Sacramento February 23 and 24. W. C. Jerome, Orange county auditor, intends to attend this convention. J. M. Backs, county clerk, will attend the state convention of county clerks in Sacramento the latter part of March. AMERICAN LEGION POSTS TO WORK IN UNISON County Council Organized at Meeting Last Week For the purpose of bringing into closer union the six posts of the American Legion in Orange County and of affording an organization to act as an intermediary between the several posts and the state department, a county council of the Legion was organized at a meeting Wednesday night in the clubrooms of Santa Ana Post No. 131. Maurice Endearle of Santa Ana, was elected chairman of the council, W. P. Webb, of Anaheim, vice-chairman, and Ray Walker of Huntington FUNDS FOR ARE NOW RAISING TEN THOUSAND ED TO FINANCE VALENCIA Dr. H. A.

John Threatened legislation, which would seriously effect the interests of the people is causing considerable uneasiness in Orange county, and steps are being taken to combat certain measures now pending before the law makers at Sacramento. One of the propositions is a bill directing that all water companies shall be placed under the control of the State Railroad Commission. Naturally this is strenuously opposed by the various irrigation companies of the State, who are preparing to dispute its passage. Directors of the Santa Ana River Development Company held a meeting at the Anaheim Union Water Company's office, Friday, Captain W. O Hart, assemblyman from this county being present. The proposed measure, as well as other matters affecting the water companies, was discussed. Captain Hart fully realizes that the proposition is a dangerous one, and will do all in his power to defeat the bill. The board of supervisors, en masse—Chairman Talbert, William Schumacher, N. T. Edwards, Howard Wassum and Col. S. H. Finley—were in town also Friday, and hearing that Capt. Hart was here they considered it a good time to hold a conference on the proposal to take the oil industry away from the county roll and add it to the Public Utilities roll. They found Captain Hart in the Gazette office where he had been attracted by the smell of the ink, and after holding a long conference with him felt somewhat easier over the proposed outrage that would deprive this county of thirty-five million dollars of its assessable property and more than a million dollars of its annual income, irrespective of the huge sum that will be added by future oil developments. Captain Hart gave it as his opinion that the proposed law would be unconstitutional as the legislature had no power to change the existing law, which was enacted through a constitutional amendment, and can only be changed by a vote of the people. Captain Hart promised to fight the measure should it come up, as it would prove a solar plexus blow to this county. County Assessor Sleeper has compiled figures showing that the adoption of such a law would deprive the Orange county government of a little more than a million dollars per annum of its income. FRUIT REACHED EUROPE IN GOOD CONDITION Long Shipment Through Cana To England A Successful Venture California fruit is arriving in Southampton, England, by refrigerator vessels by way of Panama Canal, and there is a ready market for the products, according to the Southampton Times, of November 27. The steamship, Eemdijk landed on closer union the six posts of the American Legion in Orange County and of affording an organization to act as an intermediary between the several posts and the state department, a county council of the Legion was organized at a meeting Wednesday night in the clubrooms of Santa Ana Post No. 131. Maurice Endearle of Santa Ana, was elected chairman of the council, W. P. Webb, of Anaheim, vice-chairman, and Ray Walker of Huntington Beach, secretary. About twenty delegates, representing every post in the county except Orange were present. Regulations adopted by the council for representation in the central body allow each post three delegates. Meetings will be held once each month. County councils are provided by the state and national departments of the American Legion. A council is designed to centralize county efforts and has no control over the individual post in local matters. There are six posts in the county and the council is to arrange a definite program of interests for all of these organizations. Among the various matters suggested in this regard was the matter of inter-post athletics. The chairman of the county legion was instructed to appoint a committee to look into this matter. Another feature of advantage will be that the council will admit of concerted action by county posts in the matter of the state convention. The meeting lasted until 11:30. A number of features of interest to be acted on later were brought up. Refreshments were served during the evening by the Auxiliary. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the council at Anaheim, March 15, when the regular meeting of the post there is held. The council expects to combine business and pleasure in obtaining the best results in uniting Orange county American Legion posts to more concerted efforts. It is the intent of Commerce to event, and if this out according to will become one of Southern Californias month of May of interference or thousands of people look forward to the National Orchestra Tournament of a season when their best and it encia show should heart of the Valencia growers support it.

Captain Hart promised to fight the measure should it come up, as it would prove a solar plexus blow to this county. County Assessor Sleeper has compiled figures showing that the adoption of such a law would deprive the Orange county government of a little more than a million dollars per annum of its income. At a special meeting of the board of supervisors Friday afternoon, James M. Sleeper was named as special representative of the board to go to Sacramento to ascertain the correct status of the bill providing for constituting the oil companies of the state as public utilities. The call for the meeting stated that it was "for the purpose of acting on the advisibility of sending a representative to Sacramento to ascertain the situation relative to the passage of the bill providing for constituting the oil companies of the state as public utilities and the further advisability of paying the expenses of the representative for that purpose and to determine who shall be sent as a representative." T. B. Talbert, S. H. Finley, William Schumacher, N. T. Edwards and H. A. Wassum, comprising the board of supervisors, will leave ere Tuesday, February 22, to attend the state convention of county supervisors at Visalia, Tulare county. The convention will last three days. Problems involving every county from San Diego north to Siskiyou will be discussed. The Orange county board members believe that they will gain better understanding of the issues and possibly find a solution to some of the perplexing questions still pending before the board. A certain quality of paving that is laid in the streets of Visalia will be FRUIT REACHED EUROPE IN GOOD CONDITION Long Shipment Through Canal To England A Successful Venture California fruit is arriving in Southampton, England, by refrigerator vessels by way of Panama Canal, and there is a ready market for the products, according to the Southampton Times, of November 27. The steamship, Eemdijk landed on November 25 with a cargo of 31,025 packages of apples, 480 drums of grapes and 942 half boxes of pears. The fruit according to the Times, arrived in splendid condition, and there was a great demand for the California products. The fact that the fruit arrived in sound condition with little loss is evidence that the growers are on the right track when they start shipping oranges to New York and other eastern ports by refrigerateor vessels. Until this vessel reached Southampton with its cargo of fruit, California had always shipped by rail to New York by boat to European ports. Simons (Southampton) Ltd., was the firm who took chances with the experiment, and R. S. Jacobs, a member of the firm has this to say of the venture: "The cargo was excellently stowed. Laths were laid between each tier to allow ventilation and the whole cargo was insulated. When specimen cases were broached the fruit was found appearing as fresh as if it had just been picked. "We were confident our calculations were right, but that didn't prevent us from being anxious to know what the ship had done for us. When we got in the holds on Thursday morning we were absolutely astonished. It is the most wonderful fruit cargo I have ever seen janded in any port of the United Kingdom." AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California; Thursday, February 24, 1921 FUNDS FOR SHOW ARE NOW BEING RAISED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WANTED TO FINANCE CALIFORNIA VALENCIA EXHIBITION Dr. H. A. Johnston Heads the List With A $500 Subscription—Chairman Eygabroad Expects Nine Others to Follow His Example—May 17 to 21 Dates Fixed for the Show—Valencia Growers' All Promising Support. Ten thousand dollars is the amount expected to be raised by the Chamber of Commerce to finance the California Valencia Orange Show that will be held in this city, May 17 to 21. The money will be raised by selling membership, and the first man to respond to the call for subscriptions was Dr. H. A. Johnston, who purchases CHAUTAUQUA DATES ARE DEFINITELY FIXED Ellison-White Entertainers Will Be In Anaheim May 7-13 Advance information on the Ellison White Chautauqua program for the season indicates a week of lectures, entertainment and music that should please "Chautauqua fans." The dates for Anaheim have been definitely set for May 7th to 13th. Stefansson, the noted Arctic explorer, is one of the headliners on the lecture list. A year ago Stefansson was under contract to appear in the South and West but he developed serious throat trouble and his doctors forced him to cancel the long speaking engagement. Unquestionably Stefansson is one of the biggest attractions on the American platform today. He has a remarkable story to tell of his many years in the Northland and he tells it in an exceedingly interesting manner. Another national celebrity, who makes his Indian appearance on the Chautauquas this year, is Peter Clark Macfarlane, the well known writer. For many years Macfarlane has been in the limelight as a prominent contributor to all the leading periodicals. FLAMES DESTROY DWELLING AND CONTENTS RESIDENCE OF J. C. SMITH AT CITRON AND BROAD STREETS REDUCED TO ASHES Small Boy and a Match Supposed to Have Been Responsible for the Blaze—Fire Boys Find Pressure Low and Can Do Little Toward Extinguishing Fire—Loss Totals $4000—Partially Covered by Insurance A small boy, by himself, is of little consequence, and a match by itself is only a trifle, but when the boy and the match combine their forces something may be started that is hard to stop. The home of J. C. Smith, at the corner of Broad and Citron streets, was totally destroyed by fire shortly after noon, Saturday, and it was supposed the blaze was caused by a four-year-old boy who found a match and start- 21 Dates Fixed for the Show—Valencia Growers' All Promising Support. Ten thousand dollars is the amount expected to be raised by the Chamber of Commerce to finance the California Valencia Orange Show that will be held in this city, May 17 to 21. The money will be raised by selling membership and the first man to respond to the call for subscriptions was Dr. H. A. Johnston, who purchased twenty memberships at $25 each. Making his subscription $500, Charles Eygabroad, chairman of the committee appointed to raise the $10,000 required to finance the exhibition, feels confident that there are at least nine other enterprising persons in the city and vicinity who will follow the example of Dr. Johnston, and each subscribe $500, which will provide half the sum required. No effort will be made to raise money outside of the Anaheim district as it is believed the ten thousand dollars can be easily raised at home. The Orange growers, the packers and the business men of the city are enthusiastic in supporting the project, and it is certain to be the greatest stunt ever staged in Anaheim. The associated chambers recently endorsed it by a unanimous vote, and the valencia growers throughout all the southern part of California are promising it support. Directors of the National Orange Show which is annually held at San Bernardino have approved the scheme, and tendered offers of assistance. It is the intention of the Chamber of Commerce to make this an annual event, and if the project is carried out according to present plans it will become one of the great shows of Southern California. Coming in the month of May there is no danger of interference of the weather, and thousands of people will learn to look forward to it as they now do the National Orange Show and the Tournament of Roses. It comes at a season when the Valencias are at their best and it is fitting that a Valencia show should be held in the heart of the Valencia district. The navels have the advantage at San Bernardino, but the Valencias will have the inning at Anaheim, and valencia growers everywhere will support it. ANAHEIM WOMAN SUMMONED BY DEATH Another national celebrity, who makes his Indian appearance on the Chautauquas this year, is Peter Clark Macfarlane, the well known writer. For many years Macfarlane has been in the limelight as a prominent contributor to all the leading periodicals. He is said to be remarkably gifted as a speaker and his many readers will undoubtedly welcome this opportunity of hearing him. Two other feature events of the week will be the presentation of Willie Collier's New York comedy success, "Nothing but the Truth," and the coming of Lieurance's Little Symphony, the noted American composer. HIGHWAYMEN OPERATE IN HEART OF THE CITY Walter Heltshusen Held up by Footpade on Center Street Sunday Night Walter Heltshusen was out late Sunday night. Presumably he had been spending the evening with a lady friend. At any rate he was on his way home from the east part of town at half past eleven o'clock. As he walked down East Center st. whistling blithely, he was unconscious that danger lurked ahead, but in passing the vacant lot just east of the Gazette office he was brought to a realization of this fact by suddenly finding two large, wicked looking guns staring him in the face, and two healthy voices demanding that he stand and deliver, and be quick about it. Walter didn't think it prudent to dispute or argue with the bandits who had control of all the artillery in the crowd, but at their bidding backed up against the brick wall of the Hartman block and permitted himself to be frisked without a protest. After going through their victim, however, the highwaymen were greatly disappointed and considerably peeved over their hand. Being Sunday, Walter was dressed in his new Sunday suit, and in changing clothes he had neglected to transfer his money from his old pocketets to his new, consequently all his clothes yielded up to the highwaymen was a pocketbook containing papers of no value to the thieves. A small boy, by himself, is only a trifle, but when the boy and the match combine their forces something may be started that is hard to stop. The home of J. C. Smith, at the corner of Broad and Citron streets, was totally destroyed by fire shortly after noon, Saturday, and it was supposed the blaze was caused by a four-year-old boy who found a match and started to explore the dark recesses of a clothes closet. At any rate the boy was the first to discover the blaze and when the brightened child notified his mother that the house was on fire the flames had gained such headway that little could be done toward saving anything. A call was sent in to the fire department, and the response was very prompt but owing to the house being on the outskirts of the city the pressure was so weak that the apparatus was of little use as the run was a long one and the flames had gained considerable headway before being discovered; nothing could be done toward saving the house, which was a five room structure. With the exception of a trunk and some clothing belonging to Mrs. Smith the contents of the house were a total loss. Miss Lulu Smith lost a fur coat, valued at $100, a valuable string of pearls which had been given her for Christmas, several suits and her piano. Diligent search was made in the ashes for the pearls, but they had evidently been destroyed by the intense heat. The total loss was estimated at $4000, the house and its contents being partially insured. According to the fire boys this experience was another example of the uselessness of their truck on certain occasions without a pump. They are endeavoring to pursue the city dads to buy a pump and thus increase the efficiency of the fire department and this fire durnishes them with another argument and further strengthens their demand.

Scott Passes Away After Operation for Cancer After an illness of three weeks following an operation for cancer, Mrs. Birdie E. Scott, wife of Harry E. Scott, the real estate man, died at the county hospital at three o'clock Thursday afternoon. She survived the operation and was on the road to recovery, but took a relapse. She became unconscious on Tuesday and passed away without awakening. Funeral services were held at the Todd & Patterson parlors at Pomona, Saturday at 2 p.m., interment being in the Pomona cemetery. Mrs. Scott was 44 years of age, having been born at Arrowhead, San Bernardino county, in 1876. Two years ago she moved here from Pomona with her husband, and during her short residence made a large number of warm friends who mourn her timely death. Her husband was just completing a fine new residence on Helena street and expected to move in within a couple of weeks. She was a member of the Yeoman lodge, and funeral services were held under the auspices of the lodge. Besides her husband she is survived by her mother, and leaves one son, Fred, and a daughter, Mrs. Arthur Kirby. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50 payable in advance.

Heitshusen immediately deported the incident to the police, and Officers Andrade, Baxter and Choate combed the city but found no trace of the thugs. All the description that Walter could give of his assailants was that: one was a tall man and the other considerably shorter. Orange growers were interested in the announcement made in Los Angeles that 4500 boxes of valencias would be shipped by sea from Los Angeles direct to Liverpool before the end of the month. There will be effected, it was declared, a saving of $1.18 a box, representing the transportation cost from New York to Liverpool. The freight rates by land from Los Angeles to New York is $1.75, exactly what it costs to ship from Los Angeles to the English port by the ocean route. The shipment will go forward under refrigeration. Elimination of handling will result in the fruit reaching England unbrushed, it was declared. The success of the recent shipment by water from Los Angeles to Philadelphia influenced the California Fruit Growers' exchange to decide on the shipment to Liverpool, it was indicated. Application has been made to the Railway Commission by C. J. Crusby to operate an auto passenger stage line between Huntington Beach, Garden Grove and Anaheim. JURY DISAGREES IN CHIROPRACTOR CASE New Trial for Dr. Foy Set For March 23 Griffith Jones, of Los Angeles, attorney for A. C. Foy, of Anaheim, a chiropractor is laying new defense plans for his client, following the failure of a jury in the court of Superior Judge Williams to agree on a verdict in the case of Foy, and following the setting of March 23 as the date for the retrial of the action. Foy was accused of practicing a system without first obtaining a license from the state board of medical examiners. A jury of six men and six women retired in the court of Judge Williams at 2:50 p.m. yesterday and at 10:00 p.m. still being unable to agree on a verdict was discharged. H. J. Castellow, special prosecutor for the state put on two witnesses. Attorney Jones, for the defendant put on no witnesses. Jones in his argument to the jury maintained that one who gives chiro practic treatments does not come within the scope of the state medical law, any more than does a professional masseur, or a barber who gives facial massages. Foy declared at Anaheim that in the past ten days in the Los Angeles courts three among a number of chiropractors who were tried on charges similar to that placed against him were acquitted and that in the cases of two others the juries had disagreed. Because of the fact that a certain portion of all fines derived from such cases goes to the state board of medical examiners for remuneration of special attorneys and because of failure to secure convictions in the five cases in question, a special attorney for the state board has resigned in Los Angeles, Foy declared.

JIMMY HOWARD DIES OF APOPLECTIC STROKE Son of Judge J. S. Howard Passes Away at His Home Friday Night Announcement Saturday morning of the death of James E. Howard, son of Judge and Mrs. J. S. Howard, came as a shock to the many friends of the family, as he was apparently in his usual health the previous day. He was stricken with apoplexy at his home on South Claudina street Friday night, and passed away shortly after being attacked. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Backs & Terry Chapel, the remains interred in Anaheim cemetery. The deceased leaves a father and mother, Judge and Mrs. J. S. Howard, a brother, Dr. Horace Howard of Santa Ana, and a sister, Miss Adele Howard. Jimmy was 18 years of age, and was born here in Anaheim, his parents being among the old time residents. He passed through the Anaheim schools but had not yet chosen a profession, much of his time being spent at the public library, reading and studying. A source of extreme regret to Jimmy was that he was not born a few years earlier as he was greatly disappointed at his inability to follow the example of his brother. HENRY KROEGER CALLED TO THE BEYOND PIONEER CITIZEN OVERTAKEN BY DEATH AT HIS HOME SUNDAY AFTERNOON Took Active Part In Anaheim's Development During a Residence of Almost Sixty Years—Was Mayor of the City at one Time and Served Many Years as Trustee—Had Passed His Ninetieth Birthday Died Quietly In His Chair of Heart Failure At the ripe age of 90 years, Henry Kroeger, pioneer, died at his home, corner Center and East streets, Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. He passed away while sitting in his chair, heart disease being the cause. Mr. Kroeger has been in ill health for a year or more, and owing to his extreme age, announcement of his death was no surprise to his friends or to the Jimmy was 18 years of age, and was born here in Anaheim, his parents being among the old time residents. He passed through the Anaheim schools but had not yet chosen a profession, much of his time being spent at the public library, reading and studying. A source of extreme regret to Jimmy was that he was not born a few years earlier as he was greatly disappointed at his inability to follow the example of his brother and serve his country in the army during the great war. When America got into the conflict Jimmy slipped away to Los Angeles and tried to enlist, but the recruiting officer refused to take him because of his age. It was a great disappointment to him. BIRCH OIL COMPANY IS AGAIN DEFEATED Judge Goodcell Granted Non-Suit In Case Against the County On motion of Attorney L. A. West who, with District Attorney A. P. Nelson represented the county in the suit brought by the Birch Oil Company to recover taxes paid under protest, Judge Rex G. Goodcell of San Bernardino, granted a non-suit case. George H. Woodruff and Clyde C. Shoemaker, attorneys for the oil company announced that they would appeal the case to the Supreme Court of the state and they were allowed sixty days in which to prepare a bill of exceptions. West maintained that the valuation of $669,615 placed on the Birch property in Brea Canyon was placed in good faith by County Assessor Sleeper, who, he declares did not act arbitrarily or in wilful disregard of the law. If there was an error, West asserted, or anything equivalent to fraud on the part of the assessor, the board of equalization in no way participated therein. And if there was any error on the part of the board of equalization in considering the assessment levied by the county assessor it was an error of honest judgment honestly arrived at in an attempt to fix a fair valuation, West declared. The oil company sought to recover $11,173.86 representing taxes paid under protest. The company fixed the maximum valuation of its property at $150,000 and the tax at $4,020. The amounts involved included the assessments for the fiscal years end- At the rife age of 90 years, Henry Kroeger, pioneer, died at his home, corner Center and East streets, Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. He passed away while sitting in his chair, heart disease being the cause. Mr. Kroeger has been in ill health for a year or more, and owing to his extreme age announcement of his death was no surprise to his friends or to the community. Anaheim was but a struggling infant when Mr. Kroeger came here, and during almost the entire life of the city he was one of its most prominent citizens and took an active part in its affairs until advancing age forced him to retire. He served for many years as city trustee, also as mayor of the town, and in the early days when the pioneers were struggling to reclaim the land from its wild state, Mr. Kroeger was in the foremost ranks and was always serving the young community in some official capacity, as a city trustee, a member of the school board, or a director of the water company, he was always giving a portion of his time for the benefit of his fellow citizens. Mr. Kroeger came to Anaheim in 1862 for the purpose of making his permanent home. He settled on the twenty-acre lot cornering at Center and East streets, which was one of the original plats of the town site. Here he built his house and reared his family, and it has been his home for nearly sixty years. His wife passed away in 1903, since which time his daughter, Mrs. J. H. Brunworth has been the head of his household. Seven children survive Mr. Kroeger. They are: Mrs. Henrietta Schindler, Mrs. Pauline Brunworth and Louis Z. Kroeger of this city, William Kroeger, Mrs. Sophia Matter and Henry Kroeger, Jr. of Fullerton and Mrs. Amy Bradley of Riverside. Mr. Kroeger's property holdings were large and valuable at one time, but some years ago he divided his possessions among his children, thus relieving himself of the burden of business cares. Funeral services were held at Backs & Terry's Chapel at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Rev. H. G. Schmelger of Zion Lutheran Church being in charge. The remains were laid to rest in Anaheim cemetery, where so many of his friends and early associates are sleeping their last sleep.

POULTRYMEN ALARMED OVER CHINESE EGGS Big Shipment From the Orient Being Dumped Here Commercial producers of eggs in Orange County are alarmed over the big increase recently in importations of cheap eggs from China. Importation of Chinese eggs to this coast have assumed such proportions during the past month, according to figures of receipts at the various coast ports, that they bid fair to be a factor to be reckoned with not only in coast markets but all over the country, provided importations continue at the present rate. NEW OIL COMPANY READY FOR BUSINESS Bolsa Chica Petroleum Corporation Has Valuable Leases An Orange county corporation to drill in the Huntington Beach field, is the newly organized Bolsa Chica Petroleum corporation. This company is said to have some excellent leases in the beach field. In the possibilities offered in the asserted advantageous leases secured in the heart of the Huntington Beach field by this new corporation, the directors feel that they have what they call "the passport to prosperity," for the investor. C. A. Boege, of Anaheim, a banker, is president of the new corporation. F. J. Abbott, a mining and oil operator of Los Angeles, is the manager of the company, and vice-president. M. C. Goff of Anaheim is secretary and treasurer. A unique method of keeping the stockholders informed of the progress of the drill when the well is started is planned. A log of the ground through which the drill will pass will be supplied to each stockholder. And slips telling of the nature of the material through which the drill is passing and at what depth will be issued each week and may be pasted on the map, giving a graphic illustration as the work progresses.
