MANY CHANGES PROPOSED IN SYSTEM STOCKHOLDERS OF A. U. W. CO. ENDORSE RECOMMENDATIONS OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE New Board of Directors Elected at Adjourned Session of Annual Meeting—Some of Old Directors Re-elected, and H. H. Hale is Again President—Report Hands Bouquet to Superintendent and Secretary—Another Meeting May 28 to Consider Proposal to Issue More Shares. Stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water company found a quorum present at the adjourned session of the annual meeting held last Saturday. This is the first time a quorum has been on hand at roll call since the notable meeting six years ago, when an attempt was made to segregate the oil and water interests of the corporation. plied to the ranches in this section of the country. We wish to emphasize the importance of the stockholders taking a greater interest in the business of the company and becoming fully acquainted with its properties and resources. Second. The committee is impressed with the value of the water rights and with the proportions of what has already been done in the way of developing and supplying water to the land. This company is one of the pioneer water companies of California. It has been developed through a number of years, apparently as the needs demanded, and appears to have had no far reaching out-look in its inception. The capital stock of the company is $1,200,000.00, divided into 12,000 shares of the par value of $100 each. Of this number there has been issued 8004 shares of stock. Lying within the boundaries of the district, as described in the charter, are approximately 9,-000 acres under cultivation. Of this considerable acreage is irrigated, for a portion of the year, from private wells. The assets of the company consist of the following properties: 1. The lot and office building at Anaheim. 2. La Habra reservoir site, consisting of 400 acres. On this is an oil cleaning plant and a residence for the Stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water company found a quorum present at the adjourned session of the annual meeting held last Saturday. This is the first time a quorum has been on hand at roll call since the notable meeting six years ago, when an attempt was made to segregate the oil and water interests of the corporation. Two hundred members of the company were present and these, together with the proxies sent in by absent members, represented nearly six thousand shares, approximately three-fourths of the company's stock. Owing to the fact that there has been no meeting of the stockholders at which official business could be transacted for six years past, certain members believed that changes in the company's system might be beneficial. Therefore at the annual meeting in January, it was decided to appoint a committee to make a thorough investigation of the company's affairs and to make recommendations for such changes as the committee believed would be of benefit to the stockholders. The annual meeting was adjourned until the 23rd of April, on which date it was proposed to consider the report of the committee and to elect a board of directors, should a quorum be present. Unusual efforts were made to get the stockholders out or to secure their proxies, and the result was that six thousand of the eight thousand shares answered to the roll call. The committee appointed at the January meeting to make an investigation and to recommend any changes that might be deemed advisable, was composed of S. C. Hartranft, chairman; John C. Tuffree, W. J. M. Heinz, G. W. Sherwood, Samuel Kraemer, J. W. Newell, E. D Lang, Wm. Berkenstock, S. S. Twombley, C. C. Chapman and R. S. Gregory. Notwithstanding that radical changes were proposed in the system, the meeting was a harmonious one and no heated discussions were indulged in. When nominations for directors were called for several members of the old board declined to allow their names to be used, but certain others were nominated and elected. Eight names were placed in nomination and the following seven were elected. H. H. Hale, J. C. Tuffree, Bert Annin, A. G. Miller, O. P. Rust, George J. Holmes and J. Charles Thamer.

Mr. Hale was again elected president and J. C. Tuffree, vice-president. The report of the committee is a lengthy document and recommends numerous changes. It commends and compliments the officers of the company for their efficient work and criticises nobody. A minority report, signed by four members, opposed the issuance of treasury stock as proposed by the full report. All the provisions of the report, with the exception of the proposal to issue 1600 new shares of stock were endorsed by the meeting, and it was decided to hold another session on Saturday, May 28, at which time this question will be discussed. Following is the report of the committee: To the Stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Co.: Your committee appointed by minority of the stockholders at the regularly called stockholders' meeting on Jan. 29, 1921, submits the following report: First. The committee desires to impress upon the minds of the stockholders the importance and value of this corporation and its assets. It is recognized that the entire wealth of this valley, including all its business and progressions as well as our comfort and happiness, is dependent upon a good supply of water. The Anaheim Union Water company is, of course, the source of most of the water sup- 7. Yorba reservoir, 84.02 acres. This receives water from the Cajon canal. It also can receive water from the old Anaheim ditch up to the 17 foot level. On this property is a house for the Zanjero. 8. Yorba cemetery tract, 40.11 acres. This is leased for farming. 9. Some lots in Placentia, approximately 13-4 acres. There is a company oil pipe line from the Amalgamated lease to the loading racks in this property. The water company also owns one-half interest in the Santa Ana River Development company's property, located in the Santa Ana river above the division gate. This property consists of 2500 acres. In addition to these properties one of the most valuable and largest assets of the corporation is in its rights of way and ditches and lines for the distribution of water. The main ditch consists of approximately fifteen miles of dirt and open cement ditch, commencing at the division box in the Santa Ana river about fifteen miles above Placentia and following the hills on a grade to the Tuffree reservoir. About 8 miles of this ditch has been cemented in sizes varying from 9 feet to 14 feet in width and from 4 to 7 feet in depth. The maximum capacity is approximately 2600 inches. In this line are five inverted concrete syphons. They are 66 inches in diameter, inside measurement, and designed to carry 5000 inches of water. These syphons replaced the old flumes, Nos. 4, 7, 8 and 12 and No. 1. About 1100 feet of ditch was installed on the Blxby ranch immediately after the flood of 1916, and replaced the old dirt ditch which was destroyed by the flood. Commencing at the Yorba reservoir (Continued on Page Six.) AHEIM GAZET Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 28, 1921 OFFICERS STILL SEARCHING FOR ASSAILANT NO CLEW YET TO MAN WHO ATTEMPTED ASSAULT ON MRS. MILDRED MEYERS Victim Slowly Recovering From the Shock, but Can Give but Meagre Description of Her Assailant—Says He Spoke With a Brogue and Is Evidently a Foreigner—Theory Now is Two Men Were Attempting to Kidnap Woman. Inability on the part of his victim to give a description of her assailant, has hampered the sheriff's office in their efforts to capture the man who assaulted Mrs. Mildred Meyers, near her home on East Center street last Wednesday evening, and the fact that the sheriff was not notified of the assault until fourteen hours after it occurred, has further handicapped the officers, ORANGE COUNTY BANKERS BANQUET AT ST. ANN'S Waldo O'Kelly, of Fullerton, New President of Associaton It was a merry assemblage of Orange county bankers and their ladies, that gathered Tuesday evening at St. Ann's Inn at 7:30 to elect new officers and dine and dance at the annual meeting of the Orange County Bankers' association. About 350 folks were seated at small tables, which looked lovely with their snowy covering and shining service, dotted here and there with dainty bouquets of sweet peas and ferns. A most delicious six-pourse dinner, including roast young turkey and trimmin's, was served in charming style, and made the already most amiable crowd, all the more friendly, as nothing but a dinner that "touches the spot" can. Chapman's orchestra played during the dinner hour. Following the cafe noir, the officers for the ensuing year were elected in record breaking time. Whether the men were giving the ladies a lesson in lightning elections, or whether they had their men plied beforehand was not made known, but anyway the election of the four officers was put thru about that many minutes. HARDING ASKED TO OPEN BIG SHOW THE PRESIDENT'S VOICE MAY BE HEARD OVER TELEPHONE AT HOUR FIXED FOR OPENING Bessie Lyons, the "Chocolate Soldier" Songbird, Engaged to Lead the Music at the Orange Show—Painting by Gardner Symon, Famous New York Artist, Will Be on Display Among the Pictures—Exhibitors Clamoring for Space in the Tents. President Harding may open the California Valencia orange show in this city. He will not be here in person, but an effort is being made to have him talk a few moments into a telephone transmitter at the white house, which will be heard in the big tent on North Los Angeles street at 10 o'clock on Tuesday, May 17. There is approximately three hours difference Inability on the part of his victim to give a description of her assailant, has hampered the sheriff's office in their efforts to capture the man who assaulted Mrs. Mildred Meyers, near her home on East Center street last Wednesday evening, and the fact that the sheriff was not notified of the assault until fourteen hours after it occurred, has further handicapped the officers, and made it possible for the guilty party or parties to escape. By reason of arrangement with the American Legion boys, Sherie Jackson states, had he been promptly notified, that within an hour or two after the assault he could have had 200 men combing the surrounding country, and the men would almost certainly have been captured, but with fourteen hours start of the officers, the chances of capturing them are remote. Mrs. Meyers, who has been hysterical and incoherent most of the time, is able to tell very little that would be of assistance to the officers. She had been calling at the home of W. J. Elliott, and left there at 7 o'clock, intending to make another short call before returning to her own home on the opposite side of the street. When but a short distance from the Elliott home she was accosted by a man who asked her if she had any gasoline. On her replying "No," he said: "I'm going to get you!" and seizing her, dragged her into the Elliott orange grove. He carried the struggling woman only one row of trees back from the street, and three rows from the Elliott home, where, no doubt, fearful that her struggles would attract passers-by he dropped her and ran away. She made her way to the street, where exhausted from her fierce struggle with the man, she fell to the sidewalk, and was picked up by neighbors and carried home. She was considerably bruised about the head, face and throat, no doubt made by her assailant in endeavoring to smother her screams, and part of her clothing was torn off. Owing to her weakened condition, the result of recent illness, the shock to her nervous system almost proved fatal. Mrs. Meyers was able to describe her assailant only as a big man who talked with a brogue. There is a theory that the assault was an attempt to kidnap the young woman, as two men in a car were seen in the neighborhood, and Mrs. Meyers states she heard one man say to another during the attack. Waldo O'Kelly, of Fullerton, was unanimously elected president. L. A. Copeland, of Huntington Beach, vice-president; H. A. Krause, of Fullerton, secretary, and J. R. Porter, of Orange, treasurer. A most delightful program followed the election, which was opened with a very beautiful "Greeting to Spring," by Mmes H. E. Sammis, F. W. Slabaugh and Messrs. Ellis Rhoades and Maurice C. Phillips. Mrs. Zaiser did not fail to amuse with two of James Foley's best productions, "Chums" and "Sister's Best Feller," read to music played by Earl Fraser. Mr. Phillips sang "Three for Jack," and as an encore, "A Jolly Old Monk Am I," appropriate selections for his rich basso voice. Mrs. H. M. Sammis, who never fails to charm with her lovely soprano voice, sang "Narcissus," a dainty little song, which she charmingly followed with a glad little song about when it is Spring in England. Joyce Kimler's "Roofs" was next read by Mrs. Zaiser, which was followed by Mrs. F. W. Slabaugh, who sang, "The Robin-Woman's Song," a delightful melody by Charles Wakefield Cadman, in which his ever wonderful Indian melodies were interwoven.

Earl Fraser accompanied on the piano. After the tables were removed Chapman's orchestra burst into a glorious jazz-time march while the ladies, garbed in their lovely spring frocks, paraded on the arms of their escorts until the music became too tempting and dancing started. Dancing continued until a little after midnight, when the merry party disbanded and the members started on their trip homeward, content with the banker's association and Santa Claus crowd, all the more friendlyly, as nothing but a dinner that "touches the spot" can. Chapman's orchestra played during the dinner hour. Following the cafe noir, the officers for the ensuing year were elected in record breaking time. Whether the men were giving the ladies a lesson in lightning elections, or whether they had their men pickled beforehand was not made known, but anyway the election of the four officers was put thru in about that many minutes. Waldo O'Kelly, of Fullerton, was unanimously elected president. L. A. Copeland, of Huntington Beach, vice-president; H. A. Krause, of Fullerton, secretary, and J. R. Porter, of Orange, treasurer. A most delightful program followed the election, which was opened with a very beautiful "Greeting to Spring," by Mmes H. E. Sammis, F. W. Slabaugh and Messrs. Ellis Rhoades and Maurice C. Phillips. Mrs. Zaiser did not fail to amuse with two of James Foley's best productions, "Chums" and "Sister's Best Feller," read to music played by Earl Fraser. Mr. Phillips sang "Three for Jack," and as an encore, "A Jolly Old Monk Am I," appropriate selections for his rich basso voice. Mrs. H. M. Sammis, who never fails to charm with her lovely soprano voice, sang "Narcissus," a dainty little song which she charmingly followed with a glad little song about when it is Spring in England. Joyce Kimler's "Roofs" was next read by Mrs. Zaiser which was followed by Mrs. F. W. Slabaugh who sang, "The Robin-Woman's Song," a delightful melody by Charles Wakefield Cadman in which his ever wonderful Indian melodies were interwoven.

He will not be here in person but an effort is being made to have him talk a few moments into a telephone transmitter at the white house which will be heard in the big tent on North Los Angeles street at 10 o'clock on Tuesday May 17. There is approximately three hours difference in time between Anaheim and Washington, and if the president will speak in the transmitter at one o'clock it will be heard here three thousand miles distant from the capital just at the hour fixed for the opening. Friday a telegram signed by Herman Stern executive chairman of the show,and William Stark mayor of Anaheim was sent to Congressman Swing asking to present the matter to the president.The telegram read as follows: "Would respectfully request that our honorable president, Warren G. Harding,favor Anaheim and Orange county,they we believeto have beenthe banner Republican county of United States in last presidential election,bypublishingthe first annual California Valencia orange show here on May 17th.at ten in morning our time by long distance telephone.We believe this event will be given wonderful impetusby such ceremony on the part of our president.The mayor and all officialsand Associated Shambers of Commerce of Orange county are behindthis great effort to popularize the California Valencia orange,andtheshowistobe truly representative of all districtsin California which grow that variety;andthepresident's consentthrough your kindly officeswill meetwiththedeep appreciationofall those mentionedand everyone engagedin this industry which furnishesavery vital percentage ofthe citrus wealthof California.Please useatyour convenienceand accept thanksin advanceforthis great service."

There is hours differenced tings will be illuminated, and will blend into landscape paintings form-ing the background. This, it is believ-ed, will be one of the most beauti-tiful and attractive displays of the show. The finest exhibits of paintings ever gotten together by the colony of noted artists at Laguna Beach will be on display at the show, under arrangements just made with the Laguna Beach Art association. The canvasses will be hung in a special tent with entrance from the main exhibit tent, and special indirect lighting will be provided to show them to the best advantage. Nearly one hundred fine paintings will be shown, it is promised, and this display will add greatly to the attractiveness of the big Valencia exposition which will undoubtedly attract many thousands from all of California. The industrial displays department will be unusually large and well arranged, and will undoubtedly be a great educational feature of the show. Two-thirds of the space is already taken and the remainder is going fast, so the show committee expects to have a good display in every unit on the opening day. HEMMERLING HELD MINIONS OF THE LAW RAID MORE BLIND PIGS SHERIFF JACKSON AND DEPUTIES GATHER IN A BUNCH AT RICHFIELD Four Mexicans and an Italian Captur-ed in a Raid, Together With a Large Quantity of Home Brew—One Mex. Displays Knife, But Is Not Permitted to Use It—Judge Cox Hands Out Alternative Sentences. It appears that the naughty people up in this end of the county are determined to prevent Sheriff Jackson's deputies from growing stale for want of exercise and occupation. Only a couple of weeks ago Casper Shontz and a few of his cronies were gathered in at Cypress for selling booze contrary to the laws of the United States and the ordinances of Orange county, and Saturday night five persons were caught in the sheriff's net at Richfield.

Two-thirds of the space is already taken and the remainder is going fast, so the show committee expects to have a good display in every unit on the opening day. HEMMERLING HELD TO THE SUPERIOR COURT Must Answer to Charge of Issuing Worthless Check C. E. Hemmerling, 21, of Anaheim, was bound over to the superior court on a charge of having passed a worthless check for $1100 on Townsenl & Medbery, automobile dealers of Anaheim. Hemmerling was given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace John B. Cox and at that time his bail was reduced from $2000 to $500. It was understood that the young man's father would put up the money for his son's release. R. W. Townsend, F. W. Medbery and the cashier of an Anaheim bank on which the check was drawn, appeared as witnesses at the hearing. According to Townsend, the check was given as a first payment on a Hudson car which young Hemmerling purchased. After Hemmerling surrendered himself at the district attorney's office several weeks ago and was placed under arrest he admitted, according to Deputy Sheriff O. K. Carr, that he had but $20 in the bank at the time he issued the check. About a week expired from the time the check was passed on the automobile concern until Hemmerling surrendered himself. During that time several ovcers were looking for him and had information that he had driven the car to San Francisco. Hemmerling declared after surrendering himself that he had never been out of Orange county. IN RE COMMUNITY PROPERTY You may be interested in this excerpt from a recent letter received by this office from the commissioner of internal revenue: "It is further contended in the claim, that under the laws of California all the assets which have been carried into the gross estate belonged to the stock of liquor taken in the Richfield raid by the sheriff and his deputies consisted of twenty-six cases of home brew, sixteen five-gallon jars of home brek, one 50-gallon barrel of home brew, one jug of whisky, one jug of wine." It appears that the naughty people up in this end of the county are determined to prevent Sheriff Jackson's detritus from growing stale for want of exercise and occupation. Only a couple of weeks ago Casper Shontz and a few of his cronies were gathered in at Cypress for selling booze contrary to the laws of the United States and the ordinances of Orange county, and Saturday night five persons were caught in the sheriff's net at Richfield for the same offense. The principal article dispensed by the Richfield offenders was home brew, but it is said to have a kick in it equal to the Missouri white mule or West Virginia old hen. Four of the gentlemen arrested Saturday night were Mexicans and one was an Italian, and one of them, Marlan Casos, is charged with drawing a knife on Motorcycle Officer Vernon Myers. On being arraigned before Justice Cox Monday he entered a plea of not guilty, and his trial was set for Friday morning. He was released on bail. The Italian who was seized was John Trigani. He was arrested in a raid on his hut in a canyon two miles south of La Habra. He pleaded guilty to a charge of having liquor in his possession and was given the alternative of paying a fine of $30 or spending thirty days in jail. The fine had not been paid. In the raid on Trigani's place Sheriff C. E. Jackson, Under Sheriff E. E. French and Officer Joe Murillo, of Fullerton, confiscated five eight-gallon jars of home brew, six cases of bottled brew, one fivegallon cask of wine and one case of malt. Louis Gonzales, another who was arrested in the raid at Richfield by Sheriff Jackson, Under Sheriff French and Officer Vernon Myers, pleaded guilty to a charage of selling liquor and having it in his possession. He was given a 90-day sentence in the county jail. Simon Misamentos, taken in the same raid, was given a similar sentence. Francisco Gonzales, who was also arrested in the Richfield raid, pleaded guilty to a charge of having liquor in his possession and was given the alternative of paying a fine of $30 or spending 30 days in the county jail. He paid the fine. The stock of liquor taken in the Richfield raid by the sheriff and his deputies consisted of twenty-six cases of home brew, sixteen five-gallon jars of home brek, one 50-gallon barrel of home brew, one jug of whisky, one jug of wine." IN RE COMMUNITY PROPERTY You may be interested in this excerpt from a recent letter received by this office from the commissioner of internal revenue: "It is further contended in the claim, that under the laws of California all the assets which have been carried into the gross estate belonged to the community estate of the decedent and his wife, and that the bureau should not have held, on the review, that the wife's interest in the community property constituted a part of the decedent's estate. The bureau is aware that it has been recently decided by the United States district court for the southern division of the northern district of California, in the case of Blum et al., vs. Wardell, collector, that the wife has more than a mere expectancy in the community property, and that her interest therein does not form part of the deceased husband's estate. The government, however, does not acquiesce in this construction of the law, and has taken the case to a higher court. Consequently, the bureau will continue to include in the gross estate the entire value of such of the decedent's assets as may be community property under the laws of California, until the question has been finally decided in the courts." JOHN P. CARTER, Collector. On the ground that the territory is already well served by the Pacific Electric Railway company and an auto stage line the railroad commission refused to give Frank Grant a permit to operate an auto freight service between Los Angeles and Santa Ana and Huntington Beach. Francisco Gonzales, who was also arrested in the Richfield raid, pleaded guilty to a charge of having liquor in his possession and was given the alternative of paying a fine of $30 or of spending 30 days in the county jail. He paid the fine. The stock of liquor taken in the Richfield raid by the sheriff and his deputies consisted of twenty-six cases of home brew, sixteen five-gallon jars of home brew, one 50-gallon barrel of home brew, one jug of whisky, one jug of wine, two cases of malt, three empty barrels and three sacks of empty bottles. It is understood that all of the confiscated goods were taken to Fullorton and stored in a warehouse by the authorities. It will be destroyed later. Casos, the Mexican who was taken in the Richfield raid, drew a knife on Officer Meyers, the latter stated. Quick action on Myers' part saved him from sustaining a bad cut. He grasped the Mexican's wrist and held him firmly while Sheriff Jackson handcuffed him. None of the alleged bootleggers was taken without a struggle, according to Jackson. Two of the Mexicans resisted to such an extent that the officers had to subdue them by using considerable force. According to a railroad commission order issued Saturday public convenience and necessity require the operation of an auto truck service bp L. L. Smith from Balboa, Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa to Los Angeles and from Bell, Downey, Norwalk, Buena Park, Anaheim, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa to Newport and Balboa. In granting an operating permit to Smith, however, the commission says that he is not to give local service between points south of Santa Ana nor between Santa Ana and Los Angeles and any of the said points intermediate.
