PAGE FOUR Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$.50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER INDUSTRIAL PREPAREDNESS Henry Z. Osborne, representative in congress from the 10th (Los Angeles) district, gave out the following statement on the need for commercial and industrial preparedness: The rapid growth of the Pacific coast states, in population, commerce and industry, has ever before been so noticeable as it is today. These states embrace so many attractions of climate and scenery, which add to the pleasures of living, that this growth is bound to continue for many years to come. While California now has a population of a little less than three and a half millions, at no distant day it will sustain fifteen millions, and Oregon and Washington will increase in like proportion. Twenty or twenty-five millions of people in these three states, instead of the five millions and a half that we now have, is no extravagant forecast. The enterprising and farseeing people of today must lay their plans and outline their policies well in advance to provide the facilities which will profitably engage the activities of those coming millions. With greatly increased population there must be greatly increased production, agricultural and manufacturing, and there must be great increase in commerce. MORE LARGE FACTORIES COMING TO CALIFORNIA Westinghouse Electric Company Seeking Two Sites That the industrialization of the Pacific coast is approaching more rapidly than the average Californian realizes, is evidenced through the announcement made by K. E. Van Kuran, district manager of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing company, that this $85,000,000 concern is preparing to place a series of plants on the Pacific coast—this to avoid high freight rates on manufactured products from the east and to take advantage of the rapid industrial growth and coming foreign trade in the Pacific. The development planned for the coast includes a $1,000,000 plant already announced for Los Angeles, two similar plants—one in the San Francisco bay district and one on Puget sound—one central coast factory, and two specialty manufacturing plants. The locations of the last three units have not yet been chosen. If addition, a series of distributing agencies will be set up in principal western centers. In making this announcement, Mr. Van Kuran said: "It is now necessary, in view of transcontinental freight rates and growing Pacific trade, that the Westinghouse organization prepare immediately to take care of western business for western plants. At least six units must me added to the sixty-four manufacturing plants now scattered over the country, where we already have 40,000 employees and annual sales of more than $150,000,000 in the United States." "I want to point out that not all of this material to be manufactured in... The enterprising and farseeing people of today must lay their plans and outline their policies well in advance to provide the facilities which will profitably engage the activities of those coming millions. With greatly increased population there must be greatly increased production, agricultural and manufacturing, and there must be great increase in commerce. How can we best contribute to laying the foundations upon which the future profitable employment and happiness of our people shall be based. Foreign commerce and manufacturing comprise two lines of endeavor capable of great expansion. There is a vast trade in the countries facing the Pacific ocean, in which San Francisco Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland already participate, but to a moderate extent. In a visit to China last summer I was greatly impressed with the conviction that the 440 million of people in that great country are passing through a transition stage, slowly it is true, but which will result in a demand for articles produced in the United States and Europe, that the industrious Chinese people do not now feel the necessity for. As this change occurs the Pacific coast ports, being so much nearer China than Europe, will have an advantage. The establishment of free zones at some of our Pacific coast ports, where they may be willing to make the large investment required, will facilitate the movement of foreign commerce and increase manufacturing. It is gratifying to notice that our Pacific coast financiers have organized the Foreign Trade Financing Corporation, with a capitalization sufficiently large to do very efficient service in carrying on this great work. Manufacturing demands cheap power. The fullest development of the vast quantity of hydro-electric power in our mountains and foothills is one of the things most important to make manufacturing less expensive than in other sections less favored with these natural conditions. Not only for the millions who will come to the Pacific coast and intermountain states in the future, but for the people who are already with us, let us all to the best of our ability assist in building up our foreign trade and our manufacturing, and make our Pacific coast cities the greatest commercially and in beauty and attractiveness in the world. It is now necessary, in view of transcontinental freight rates and growing Pacific trade, that the Westinghouse organization prepare immediately to take care of western business for western plants. At least six units must me added to the sixty-four manufacturing plants now scattered over the country, where we already have 40,000 employees and annual sales of more than $150,000,000 in the United States. "I want to point out that not all of this material to be manufactured in our new plants will be used on this coast. In 1914, the United States exported less than $20,000,000 worth of electrical appliances. Today, America exports almost this amount of electrical appliances each month, the exports totaling more than half a million dollars today. "There is a great future for continued development of Pacific trade through concentration of industries here. In 1919 America shipped more than 1,600,000 metal filament electric lamps to Mexico; more than 1,100,000 to Australia and New Zealand; more than 250,000 to the Dutch East Indies; 231,000 to India; 31,000 to the Straits Settlements; 55,000 to Hongkong; 6,000 to Siam; and 8,000 to French Oceania. "We are shipping almost three times as much electrical machinery abroad as Great Britain, and we must keep that trade for America and the Pacific trade must be concentrated in Pacific states. "Nor is this all. The export of electrical machinery to the orient means that the oriental countries will soon be using this machinery to manufacture goods in competition with ourselves, and in the interest of American industry and American labor, we must build every form of labor saving and producing device possible at the cheapest cost, to take care of our own manufacturers. Oil prices have tripled since 1914, and if we are to maintain our present industrial position, hydro-electric power in the Pacific states must be rushed to development without any hesitation whatsoever. "It is only through cheap power that we can expect to offset the cheap labor of the orient, and our oil must be turned over to the operation of the ships which will carry our products abroad. "I expect to see the electrification of railroads carried on to aid in cutting high transcontinental freight rates. To help in making this possible, our company must spend millions of dollars of new money in the west."

BAND TO PLAY FOR PICNIC A two-hour concert by the Long Beach municipal band, famed the world over, will be one of the features of the Southern California real estate picnic Saturday, May 28, at Orange county park, according to an announcement just made by the Santa Ana reality board, which has the picnic arrangements in charge. The real estate men are "live ones" and went after the Long Beach band early in the game, knowing that its presence would swell the picnic crowds and add greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion, and the band's consent is very gratifying. A program of old-fashioned sports, a basket lunch at noon, short talks by President Fred Reed, of the state real estate association and others, and free dancing from 4 to 9 p.m., will be among the other features of the day. This picnic will be the first ever held by Southern California real estate profession, and it is hoped will be made an annual get-together event, where realtors of the various cities may rub elbows and get acquainted. A double holiday follows, May 29-30, and it is expected many visitors will embrace the opportunity to look over Orange county's hill, grove, and beach beauty spots, and that some will use the many beautiful canyon and coast free camping grounds over the week-end. "It is only through cheap power that we can expect to offset the cheap labor of the orient, and our oil must be turned over to the operation of the ships which will carry our products abroad. "I expect to see the electrification of railroads carried on to aid in cutting high transcontinental freight rates. To help in making this possible, our company must spend millions of dollars of new money in the west. "We feel we are safe in doing this because the west is awake and because the California state railroad commission is evidencing a thorough understanding of the needs of the California producer. Oregon and Washington are following California's example, and we certainly must be ready to do our part. "We realize thoroughly that the railroad commission is building up a spirit of co-operation between the consumer and the utility companies, and it is because of this fact that we believe heavy investments on the Pacific coast to be safe." The new power schedule of the Edison company was the principal topic for discussion at the Buena Park Farm Center meeting Monday night in the school house at Buena Park. Sidney Saunby, chairman of the public utilities committee, read an interesting paper on the question, commenting on pumping rates farmers are to pay under the new schedule as compared with the old. "The State Farm Bureau Market Exchange" was ably presented by one of the members, followed by a general discussion of the two topics. A short program of music was one of the pleasing features of the evening. Robbing a Sacramento Noyes, now capital city; it was led to the recovery machine having been rameno to San Francisco.

A BOLD, BAD MAN Declared by the authorities to be one of the boldest criminals ever sought by the authorities of Orange county, Melville Bowles, formerly of Orange, was scheduled to be given a again and make a new declaration of intention. Karl Kohl, of Fullerton, also stated that he claimed exemption from the draft on the ground that he was an alien, but he was allowed to take the test and passed the examination.Kohl DEMANDING RECOMPENSE FOR DAMAGED CAR Anaheim Man Writes Supervisora Relative to Defective Pavement Enclosing a bill of $39.01 for repairs A BOLD, BAD MAN Declared by the authorities to be one of the boldest criminals ever sought by the authorities of Orange county, Melville Bowles, formerly of Orange, was scheduled to be given a preliminary hearing in the justice court at Santa Ana yesterday afternoon. He is specifically charged with stealing a Bulck automobile belonging to State Senator Walter Eden. Bowles was arrested in a Los Angeles rooming house April 12 by former Deputy Sheriff Charles Holbrook. The authorities had been on his trail for two months previous to his arrest. He was not only suspected of the theft of the Eden car, but of numerous other burglaries. In confessions alleged to have been made to deputy sheriffs, Bowles is said to have admitted the following crimes: Stealing the Bulck automobile belonging to State Senator Walter Eden from this city on the night of January 28. Car was driven to Sacramento and later recovered in San Francisco. Breaking into house of an aged man who resides on Figueroa street between Fifth and Sixth in Los Angeles, robbing him of several hundred dollars' worth of diamonds, jewelry and money after beating him over the head with a club. Stealing from Mrs. H. Hockemeyer, Tustin and Santa Clara avenues, northeast of this city, an electric motor, which he sold in Los Angeles for $125. Stealing a 20-horse power Westinghouse motor from San Jose and selling it in Oakland for $200. Stealing a Studebaker car from in front of the Christian Science church at Riverside; says he drove it outside the city limits and stripped off four tires and storage battery, which he later disposed of. Robbing a Sacramento tailor shop, and implicating his co-partner, Clarence Noyes, now under arrest in the capital city; it was this robbery that led to the recovery of Eden's car, the machine having been driven from Sacramento to San Francisco by Noyes. Robbing a garage at St. Helena, Napa county, securing a small sum from the cash register, and a number of tires and auto accessories. Karl Kohl, of Fullerton, also stated that he claimed exemption from the draft on the ground that he was an alien, but he was allowed to take the test and passed the examination. Kohl explained that he was given the impression that allens were not wanted in the army and that if accepted would be taken for spies. Testimony of two character witnesses was considered much in his favor. Four of those who were scheduled to appear for the examination did not show up at the morning session. They were Jan Shenk, of Huntington Beach; Julius G. Kley, of Anaheim! Hans O. Meier, of Anaheim, and Louis Nyssen, of Orange. Among the questions put to the applicants were the following: What is the eighteenth amendment? How are treaties made? What are the duties of the president? How are United States senators elected? What is the judicial branch of the government? How is the constitution amended? In answer to a question one applicant stated that the governor is appointed by the president. Another said that the president was the supreme power of the land. One referred to the members of the president's cabinet as ministers rather than secretaries. All were apparently familiar with the eighteenth amendment. It was considered probable that all would pass the examination with possibly one or two exceptions. Clinton E. Rossier, a native of Nebraska, U. S.A., is seeking to have his citizenship restore after having filed on a land grant in Canada. C. E. Hemmerling, 22, of Anaheim, who recently pleaded guilty to passing a worthless check for $1100 on Townsend and Medbury, automobile dealers, was given a suspended sentence Friday of ten years in San Quentin and placed on probation. Hemmerling will be required to report to the probation officer every two months and he was ordered not to leave the county for more than three days at a time without a permit from the court. The defendant surrendered himself at the district attorney's office a week after he again and make a new declaration of intention. Demanding RECOMPENSE FOR DAMAGED CAR Anaheim Man Writes Supervisors Relative to Defective Pavement Enclosing a bill of $39.01 for repairs to his automobile, which he claims was damaged when it skidded and went into a ditch on the state highway about two miles south of Capistrano. Charles H. V. Lewis, of Anaheim and Los Angeles, has written a letter to the board of supervisors in which he calls the board's attention to "a serious condition that stands as a menace to the people and savors of gross neglect by officials of your county." The writer states that he is "hot under the collar" because May 6, coming from San Diego with a party of four, his Reo car skidded while traveling at a speed of "ten miles an hour" and proceeded to do a "shimmy" into another machine, climbed an embankment, resulting in a mashed fender, a twisted top, broken windshield and what not. He declares that he is still "mad." "It does not require a speed maniac to skid at the point designated," continues the writer. "A broad footed man would be an athlete to be able to keep his feet, and a machine at ten mile speed would be well assured of a shimmy dance and the nsome. A few days ago a stage skidded. Jumped the bank and turtled, to the severe injury of several persons, of which you will no doubt later hear. How many machines have skidded, climbed the bank and had hairbreadth escapes from collision, who knows? Yet we observe no signs to warn, no sentries to notify, no attempts to rectify the cause. Have you no road officials? If so, why do you not see that they do their duty? Do you leave such conditions indefinitely If so then a sweeping change in Orange county officials would be fine dope." The writer says that at the point designated there is a sharp turn at the center of a "holl hill," where, evidently the adjacent ranchers have been allowed to throw up dirt banks with their plows right up to the pavement, so that when it rains the mud is washed down upon the highway to a depth of three inches. Robbing a Sacramento tailor shop, and implicating his co-partner, Clarence Noyes, now under arrest in the capital city; it was this robbery that led to the recovery of Eden's car, the machine having been driven from Sacramento to San Francisco by Noyes. Robbing a garage at St. Helena, Napa county, securing a small sum from the cash register, and a number of tires and auto accessories. With his companion, Clarence Noyes, Bowles drove the Eden car from Sacramento to Olive, near Orange, he said, for the sole purpose of stealing a quantity of cyanide and ammonia with which they intended to subdue a gambling "joint" in Sacramento. The pair got "cold feet," according to Bowles, and backed out. On his return to Sacramento he is alleged to have robbed a house at Turlock, securing a rifle, revolved, electric flatiron and a vacuum cleaner. DENIED CITIZENSHIP Because it was shown that they claimed exemption from the draft in the late war although they had taken out their first citizenship papers, the applications of three German allens were denied when they appeared before Superior Judge Williams Monday morning. The three men were Joseph Yager, of Fullerton; Adolph G. Schmid, of Stanton, and Herman W. Uphal, of Tustin. Judge Williams held that in declaring that they desired to become citizens by taking out their first papers and then claiming exemption in time of war, they did not show good faith. All three were instructed that if they desired again to try for citizenship they would have to begin all over who recently pleaded guilty to passing a worthless check for $1100 on Townsend and Medbery, automobile dealers, was given a suspended sentence Friday of ten years in San Quentin and placed on probation. Hemmerling will be required to report to the probation officer every two months and he was ordered not to leave the county for more than three days at a time without a permit from the court. The defendant surrendered himself at the district attorney's office a week after he passed the check. Authorities were looking for him at that time. Hemmerling admitted that he had but $20 in the bank when he issued the check, which represented the first payment on a Hudson automobile. The amount of cash in the Fullerton city treasury May 1, 1921, and in the different funds is as follows, according to the monthly report of Fred Fuller, city treasurer: Water works fund, $208.43; library fund, $4386.96; road bond interest and redemption fund, $6286.36; water bonds interest and reemption fund, $174.98; water works completion bond interest and redemption fund, $273.67; intersection paving fund, $6.79; intersection paving bond interest and reemption fund, $415.14; fire apparatus bond interest and redemption fund, $465.56; municipal street improvement bond interest and redemption fund, $1172.64; sewer construction fund, $4787.36; special street fund, $165.75; sewer disposal fund, $95,074.94; park fund $1181.87; city hall sinking fund, $55,626.22; water works maintenance fund $16.90; $170-324.65; general fund (overdrawn) $50-374.37; book balance, $119,950.28; warrants outstanding (20) $2922.21; $122,872.49; less liberty bonds and war savings stamps (par) $70,000.00; cash in banks, $52,872.49. DELIVERED HIMSELF UP "I've been sent up for nine months and came down to begin my sentence," said a young man in the sheriff's office Monday. "What is your name?" asked Mrs. B. A. Swanwick, deputy. "Charles S. Freshman. I just drove down from Los Angeles and am ready to go to jail." "All right," said Mrs. Swanwick, "go right across the street to the jail and make yourself at home." Deputy Sheriff Theo Lacy, in charge of the jail, admitted Freshman, who said he was a federal prisoner, and then called up the United States marshal's office in Los Angeles. Lacy was informed that Freshman had been sentenced to nine months in the jail at Santa Ana for alleged violation of the Harrison narcotic act. Commitment papers will arrive at the sheriff's office soon. Freshman arrived in an automobile and accompanied by a young woman, who drove the car off after he had been incarcerated. Freshman was out on ball pending his surrender to the authorities. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50.

Flint, vice-president of the Los Angeles Trust and Savings bank, is chairman. The convention, it is conservatively estimated, will bring to Los Angeles and other cities of the southland, approximately 60,000 visitors, and the public spirited citizens who have assumed the responsibility of preparing a royal and fitting welcome for the throngs, are leaving nothing undone which shall maintain southern California's reputation for a generous and MEXICO'S CHANCE The United States government, as a condition precedent to extending formal recognition to the Obregon government in Mexico, will insist that order be restored below the Rio Grande; that evidence be given of adequate protection of Americans and their property; that guarantees be given of respect for valid American property rights; an agreement be made to satisfy American damage claims.

The convention, it is conservatively estimated, will bring to Los Angeles and other cities of the southland, approximately 50,000 visitors, and the public spirited citizens who have assumed the responsibility of preparing a royal and fitting welcome for the throngs, are leaving nothing undone which shall maintain southern California's reputation for a generous and whole-hearted hospitality. While many details are yet to be worked out in the big gala program for the convention week, two special features have already been announced for the event. One of these will be a brilliant electrical pageant to be staged through the co-operation of the various moving picture studios in and near Los Angeles. The parade will be of wonderful beauty and spectacular interest and one that could be duplicated in no other city of the world, since in no other city are there the facilities for such a mammoth spectacle. The second big feature, which is to be held as a national exhibition, will be a great sky-pageant to be staged at the speedway in Los Angeles. It will be a two-days' meet and will feature an aerial program of daring stunts, races of all kinds, spectacular acrobatics, and thrills galore. Directors of the Los Angeles speedway, of which J. M. Danziger is president, are entering into plans for the big meet with the greatest enthusiasm, and together with the Elks executive committee and representatives of the aero club and army and navy are working out a super-program, with the plan of making the event the biggest thing ever attempted in the history of aviation, that evidence be given of adequate protection of Americans and their property; that guarantees be given of respect for valid American property rights; an agreement be made to satisfy American damage claims. President Obregon, it is related in news dispatches from Washington, has been somewhat obstinate in complying with certain of the conditions put forth by the United States government—even yet has failed to meet the imposed requirements fully. Negotiations are proceeding, however, and it is probable that soon it will be possible to extend the formal recognition from Washington which so long has been withheld. The United States is not querulous or unreasonable in demanding guarantees and formal assurances from Mexico. Throughout the many years of bloody tumult in the neighbor republic pledges of whilom leaders down there have been broken repeatedly; lives and property interests of Americans have not been respected; and there has been such flagrant disregard of the rights of Americans that this country, in fairness to itself and in justice to its own people, could not consistently strike hands, figuratively speaking, with the Mexican government until the hand of Mexico is known to be clean and friendly-disposed.
