The groom is engaged in the oil fields, but the couple will make their home in this city. James was a lieutenant in the army, and served during the war in France. Eugene Durfee, the architect, has been visiting in Anaheim for some days and it is rumored he is drawing plans for several buildings. One report is that the First National Bank building will be raised to five stories in the near future. Some weeks ago A. J. Gamber sold his grocery and storage business at the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets to a Mr. White, of Indiana, the transfer to be made April 1. Mr. White failed to get his money released in time to close the deal, consequently the sale was declared off, and Mr. Gamber is still doing business at the old stand. Constantine Romanoff, who claims the Pacific coast heavyweight wrestling championship, was scheduled to throw Louis Nelson, reputed Danish light heavyweight champion, twice in an hour and fifty minutes at Anaheim. Burglaries broke into the J. C. Penney store on West Center street Monday night, gaining entrance in the rear through the Roberts' theatre. The windows were barred, but the thief pried apart and squeezed through. A considerable quantity of clothing was taken. Articles of incorporation of the Fullerton News Publishing company, signed by the secretary of state and bearing the official seal of his office, were received by the county clerk, J. M. Backs, Monday. The three directors, J. R. Gallemore, Ralph Brown and E. J. Clark, in charge. Dr. J. Hamilton, representing the Petroleum Midway Oil company, is endeavoring to lease the city's sewer farm at Stanton for oil development. He offers a one-sixth royalty. The Gilbert farm may yet prove a gold mine and solve all of Anaheim's financial problems. It may possibly pay for the city park, build a new city hall, finance an outfall sewer to the ocean, and pay the salaries of all the city's employees. J. L. Gates' business has outgrown his present quarters in the Masonic temple, consequently he is making preparations to build. He has purchased of M. W. Martenet, the 50-foot lot joining the temple on the east, and will cover it with a two-story building, although he will probably not begin on the structure for some time. He expects to retain his present room, and expand into one room of the new building. There are rumors that other substantial buildings are in contemplation for East Center. Mrs. F. H. Houck and Mrs. E. Borchert entertained a number of their friends at cards on Thursday afternoon at the home of the former on E. Broadway. The rooms were tastefully transfer to be made April 1.

Constantine Romanoff, who claims the Pacific coast heavyweight wrestling championship, was scheduled to throw Louis Nelson, reputed Danish light heavyweight champion, twice in an hour and fifty minutes at Anaheim Saturday night. Romanoff secured his first fall in 58 minutes, but was unable to throw his opponent again in the specified time. T. O. Sereawa, Japanese, of 1641 Hollywood boulevard, Los Angeles, is the latest to face a ten-day jail term for speeding. His time was taken at 55 miles an hour and he was arrested after a nine-mile chase by Motor Officer Stewart, who says the Japanese violated several road rules and passed more than fifty cars in the traffic jam on the state highway to Irvine, incident to the Capistrano hill climb. The Anaheim Walnut Growers' association held its annual meeting last Saturday, a large number of stockholders being in attendance. The old board of directors were re-elected. They are Samuel Kraemer, J. J. Dwyer, Dr. W. U. Chambers, James Owens, Dr. H. D. Cook, Gilbert Kraemer and C. E. Holcomb. Samuel Kraemer was elected president and George M. Ross, secretary and manager. A second high school district was created in Orange county, when the citizens of Garden Grove voted, 178 to 6, in favor of such a move, duplicating the Tustin performance several days ago. The new districts are created to avoid consolidation with some existing district, which would otherwise be necessary if the Eden bill passes the legislature. No action has yet been taken in either place toward erecting the new high school buildings. Attorney Clyde Bishop left Tuesday evening for Sacramento, where he will present amendments to harbor grants given Orange county harbor and also an amendment to the harbor act which will give Orange county control of that portion of the harbor on Newport bay improved under county bonds. The proposed amendments are of vital interest to the harbor project and Bishop expects to be successful in his misfortunes north by although he will probably not begin on the structure for some time. He expects to retain his present room, and expand into one room of the new building. There are rumors that other substantial buildings are in contemplation for East Center. Mrs. F. H. Houck and Mrs. E. Borchert entertained a number of their friends at cards on Thursday afternoon at the home of the former on E. Broadway. The rooms were tastefully decorated in spring flowers and a delightful time was spent in playing bridge. There was five tables and Mrs. Wm. Goodrum was the winner of first prize, Mrs. J. W. Wallop of the second, and Miss Fay of consolation. Following the game the hostess served a dainty luncheon. They were assisted in the serving by Mrs. H. V. Weisel and Miss June Borchert.

Restrictions barring allens from Germany and Austria-Hungary from making petitions for naturalization put in effect by the government when the United States entered the war, have lifted, according to a letter received Monday by County Clerk J. M. Backs from Fred K. Jones, examiner in charge of the Los Angeles office, U.S. department of labor. The letter reads: "Hereafter all petitions for naturalization of subjects of Germany and Austria-Hungary should be set for hearing the same as other petitions. All petitions of alien enemies now on file in your office should be placed on the calendar at the next regular hearing." The next naturalization hearing will be held May 16.. About fifteen petitions will be placed before the court at that time. Of that number four are petitions of German subjects, continued from previous hearings. The natives of Scotland are all invited to attend the benefit concert at Blanchard hall, Los Angeles, tomorrow night. There are several Scots in Anaheim, some of whom will probably attend. J. K. Mills, brother of George A. Mills, of this city, died at his home at Hermosa Beach on Tuesday, April 5, the remains being cremated at Inglewood cemetery on Thursday. Mr. Mills was 86 years of age, and had been a resident of Hermosa for sixteen years. He is survived by his wife. Circus day brought a large number of people to town last Thursday, and as usual, there was considerable kicking on the part of show's patrons over the holdup prices of admission. It appears that after paying a dollar to get into the tent visitors were compelled to pay another dollar for a comfortable seat. David G. Brown pleaded guilty in the superior court to a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated and asked for probation. Judge Z. B. West set the time for the hearing of the probation application for April 22 at 9:30 o'clock. The alleged offense took place on Center street in Anaheim. There is a rumor that plans are being drawn for a big hotel which it is proposed to erect at the corner of Los Angeles and Chestnut streets, in the library block. Those behind the move, it is said, contemplate a building that will cost $250,000, and will be the finest hotel in the southland outside of Los Angeles and San Diego. "Mike," a huge bull seal, for ten years "king" of the herd of seals at Seal Beach is dead. His lifeless body was found at Long Beach at the foot of Molino avenue after he had been missing for more than two weeks. The herd over which "Mike" reigned for so Attorney Clyde Bishop left Tuesday evening for Sacramento, where he will present amendments to harbor grants given Orange county harbor and also an amendment to the harbor act which will give Orange county control of that portion of the harbor on Newport bay improved under county bonds. The proposed amendments are of vital interest to the harbor project and Bishop expects to be successful in his mission. He is accompanied north by Mrs. Bishop. The trial of Gottlieb Meger, the Anaheim rancher, charged with criminal intimacy with his seventeen-year-old grand daughter, Elisa Simrau, and with being the father of her unborn child, was set for yesterday in superior court, and promises to be an interesting case. Miss Simrau has filed suit against her grandfather for $35,000 damages. Earl Rogers, the noted criminal lawyer of Los Angeles, is defending Meger, and has been in Anaheim for a week past. Mr. Meger, who is 65 years old, has been at the sanitarium for some days. Mrs. Leo J. Sheridan was the hostess at a charming "600" party at her home on South Palm street on Thursday afternoon. The rooms were decorated with pink and white roses and carnations, and the luncheon tables were each graced with a fragrant basket of pink and lavender sweet peas. Nine tables were arranged for the cards and a very interesting game was played. The first prize was awarded Mrs. Minnie Palmer, the second to Mrs. M. C. Goff, and the third to Mrs. Frank Shanley. A two course lunchon was served at the close of the game. A technical error halted the hearing on the petition for the incorporation of the town of Placentia shortly after the matter came before the board of supervisors Monday. As a result a delegation of Placentia residents, numbering about 250, was sorely disappointed. The proceedings had been underway for about 20 minutes when Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing some of the protestants, called the attention of District Attorney A. P. Nelson to the fact that an affidavit, signed by three qualified electors of the town of Placentia, and attached to the original petition, bears date of February 23, 1918, instead of 1921. This disclosure took all present by surprise. District Attorney Nelson ruled that Attorney Bishop had presented a logical objection and that it would be useless to proceed further. The error in the petition was copied in a public journal and Nelson held that in the event of a bond issue the date as published would be fatal to the issue. WANTED—Salesmen for 6000 mile guaranteed tires. Salary $100.00 weekly and extra commission. Cowan Tire & Rubber Co., Box 784, Chicago, Illinois, Hereafter all petitions for naturalization of subjects of Germany and Austria-Hungary should be set for hearing the same as other petitions.

About fifteen petitions will be placed before the court at that time. Of that number four are petitions of German subjects, continued from previous hearings. "Mike," a huge bull seal, for ten years "king" of the herd of seals at Seal Beach is dead. His lifeless body was found at Long Beach at the foot of Molino avenue after he had been missing for more than two weeks. The herd over which "Mike" reigned so long is located between Long Beach and Alamitos bay. John Lemke, wealthy pioneer rancher of Placentia, died at 4 o'clock Monday morning at a hospital in Anaheim. He had been in failing health for some time. Mr. Lemke, who was born in Prussia, October 8, 1856,came to America in 1889 and settled in Placentia in 1884. In 1886 he was married to Miss Anna Edwardson, who, with eight children survives him. The children are Mrs. Dean Hasson, Anaheim; David Lemke, Lewis Lemke, Placentia; L. A.

The kee" reigned for so The first ball game of the season will be played on the Fullerton grounds Sunday between the Anaheim Elks and the Santa Ana Elks. This will be only a practice game, as the league series will not open for several weeks, but several hundred Elks will probably be on the ground roofing for their respective favorites. Superior Judge Z. B. West modified the recent sentence imposed upon Charles F. Miller, convicted by a jury March 23 of being an accomplice to an attempted assault with intent to commit robbery, and granted him probation. Following his conviction, Miller was ordered returned to the Preston school of industry, at Ione, whence he was on parole. Then a stay of execution was granted because of the serious illness of Millers father. The probation order signed by Judge West remands Miller to the custody of his uncle, E. S. Miller, who will take him to his home in the state of Washington. The order will continue until June 17, 1922, when Miller will be 21 years of age. He will then be cited to appear before Judge West for further orders being on probation. During the time young Miller is in the custody of his uncle in the state of Washington he will be required to send his mother in Santa Ana one-half of all his earnings. Miller's alleged confederate in the attempted holdup, Carl D. Duke, was granted probation. A special feature of the Friday night program of the Greater Santa Ana exposition will be a speed contest open to all the stenographers of Orange county. This contest is being given under the auspices of the exposition, but has been promoted by Harold Tiernan, of the Tiernan Typawriter company, of Santa Ana, who will also give prizes. The contest will be held on the Royal machine, as Tiernan claims that it is the speedist machine for such contests. As a special prize the Tiernan company is offering a diamond ring to the best speed with COUNTY'S NEW STRONG BOX With the installation in the county treasurer's office of a new manganese steel safe, weighing more tahn four tons, County Treasurer J. C. Joplin and other county officials have a feeling of security so far as the safety of the county's money and other valuables is concerned. The big safe was set up yesterday under the supervision of County Purchasing Agent W. F. Slabaugh. It was necessary to remove the screen window and barricade in the treasurer's office in order to get the safe into place. Resembling the breach of a huge coast defense cannon with a swinging door and measuring 39 inches in diameter, the safe has an imposing appearance. It is a Mosler safe, model No. 83, and of spherical design. The safe was purchased by the county from the Calexico National bank following the consolidation of that institution with the First National bank of Calexico. It was brought from the Imperial county town on a truck, the trip being made over the mountains into San Diego. It was on the road for a period of three days, arriving Saturday morning about 3 oclock. County officials have realized the need of such a strong box for some time; not only because of a more pressing need for more room in which to store securities but for the sake of safety.
