The annual senior class play attracted a large and appreciative audience Tuesday night. "The Gypsy Trail" was the title of the play, and it was given in a manner that betokened much native ability and excellent training on the part of the students and teachers. All the characters, both male and female, were well sustained. Tonight is the big event of the year, when sixty-two graduates will receive their diplomas and pass out for all time. This has been a very successful school year, both in the high and the grammar grades, notwithstanding the fact that all the rooms have been overcrowded. Although several rooms were added to the grammar schools, they were still overcrowded, two of the rooms in the Central building have 166 pupils on the rolls, or 83 in each room.

Following are the graduates to receive diplomas: Carl Albrecht, Frederick Abilham NEMETZ RESIDENCE ENTERED BY BURGLAR Thief Ransacks House Sunday Night While Occupant Is Away. Sunday evening the Nemetz house, at the corner of Chartres and Olive streets, was ransacked by a burglar, but no family is living there at present, and no valuables are kept in the house, he secured very little plunder for his trouble. Since the death of Mr. Nemetz the house has been occupied only by his son, William, and nearly all the household effects have been moved away. Sunday night when Will returned home at ten o'clock, he discovered that a thief or thieves had overhauled his effects during his absence. His trunk had been broken into and a number of articles carried away, including a revolver. He believes the thieves were disturbed at work by his unexpected return, and fled before completing the job. Entrance had been gained by placing a box under a rear window on which he stood while prying the window open. This burglary was evidently committed by the gentleman who has operated on various other occasions here. At any rate he employed the same system. This thief presumably lies in wait till he sees the family leave the house, then breaks in and prowls about at his leisure without fear of interruption. A night prowler, or peeping Tom, has been making himself obnoxious on Chartres street and adjacent districts of late. A couple of weeks ago a young lady who resides at Chartres and Santa Fe streets, was frightened out of seven years' growth by observing the ugly mug of a man pressed against her window. It was ten o'clock at night and she was alone in the house at the time. Hearing a noise at the window she raised the curtain and saw the face pressed against the glass, staring at her. She ran out of the house and soon collected a bunch of neighbors, but Tom had made his get-away. It is reported that a mysterious character who parades the street at night in that neighborhood, has also been looked upon with suspicion by those who have seen him, or her. This party is dressed in woman's clothes, but is supposed to be a man. He walks aimlessly about apparently waiting or looking for somebody.

While the high school finished its work last Friday there have been interesting doings at that institution of learning this week. The juniors' reception to the seniors was an annual function, which was held at the school last Friday evening. On Sunday evening Dr. Thomas G. Burt, of Occidental It is reported that a mysterious character who parades the street at night in that neighborhood has also been looked upon with suspicion by those who have seen him or her. This party is dressed in woman's clothes, but is supposed to be a man. He walks aimlessly about apparently waiting or looking for somebody. The party may be only an innocent resident, a female of masculine appearance, taking the night air, but he or she has the neighbors guessing. On the night the lady mentioned above was frightened by Peeping Tom, a woman was standing on the opposite side of the street watching the neighbors search for the peeper, and those who saw her clearly afterward declared they believed her to be a man. Mrs. Gustave Hansen and her son Alfred drove over from Long Beach on Tuesday afternoon ad spent the day visiting with friends in town. They are former well known residents of this section. Mr. Gustave Hansen having been one of the pioneer property owners of West Orangethorpe avenue. He owned a fine ranch on the avenue and built a palatial residence thereon: He passed away some nine years ago. Mrs. Hansen and her family have for some years resided at Long Beach. She still owns the fine 290 acre ranch at Hansen station, a few miles west of this city. The Petroleum Midway is drilling a well a mile from this tract and oil operators have been seeking to lease the property, but Mrs. Hansen has so far declined to sign a lease. She and her son returned to Long Beach after spending a very pleasant visit with friends in town. When Mr. Duntz Ford agency of G.

George Dunton's Invitation to the public to attend the formal opening of the new home of the Ford agency Saturday night, brought a more generous response than he anticipated. Sixteen hundred people accepted the invitation and visited the place during the evening, which indicates that either Mr. Dunton or the Ford car is extremely popular in this section. The splendid new building is situated at the corner of Los Angeles and Adele streets, and covers the biggest portion of a block. It was built by F. Mark's church. A wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride on Marin avenue following the ceremony. The bride was a charming picture in her wedding gown of pink organdie, and she carried a shower bouquet of rosebuds. Miss Marsh Clements, who attended the bride as maid of honor, was attired in yellow organdie and carried an arm bouquet of Ophelia roses. Otto L. Zeus was groomsman for Mr. Whitaker. Mrs. Whitaker is an attractive young woman and has been the motif for a round of social affairs since the announcement of her betrothal. Whitaker is a graduate of the university of the class of 1920 and took an active part in campus affairs while in college. The couple plans to make their future home in this city. RETURNS TO FIND GREAT SURPRISES Unable to Find a Single Old Landmark In Town After an Absence of a Number of Years Isadore Davis, a former well known resident of this city, was in town this week from San Francisco, after an absence o fa number of years, and it is a couple of days trying to locate old landmarks in Anaheim. He found so many changes and improvements that he had difficulty in locating any, and expressed great surprise at the advancement made in this city in recent years.

When City Marshal Steadman turned his suspicious eye on Emil Crespin and finally arrested him on the charge of being the assailant of Mrs. Blanche Staley, Thursday evening, June 9, he had the correct dope and got the right man. Under the skillful handling of Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr, and at the urgent appeals of his wife, Crespin acknowledged his crime last Thursday, and afterward made a detailed confession to District Attorney A. P.

Sixteen hundred people accepted the invitation and visited the place during the evening, which indicates that either Mr. Dunton or the Ford car is extremely popular in this section. The splendid new building is situated at the corner of Lo$_5$ Angeles and Adele streets, and covers the biggest portion of a block. It was built by F. C. Rimpau, especially for the Ford agency, according to specifications and designs submitted by Mr. Dunton. The principal part of the structure is of brick, the total cost being $35,000. It is the largest, finest and best appointed garage building in the county, and everything that could add to the convenience in handling the large business transacted within its walls was provided. It will house a force of close to forty employees. When the crowd began to assemble Saturday evening it was found that the salesroom, where the entertainment and dancing was totake place, was entirely too small, consequently the entire plant was thrown open to the visitors and they scattered to the various departments. Fellinge's orchestra was present and furnished music for the crowd and the dancers. The building inside and out was draped and decorated with patriotic colors. Miss Antoinette Friend assisted in entertaining the audience with a number of Spanish dances, for which she is becoming famous. Out-of-town people who were present were Mr. and Mrs. Briggs, of Detroit Mr. and Mrs. Groves and Mr. and Mrs. Harris, of Los Angeles, all connected with the big Ford industry. The program as arranged for the entertainment of the visitors, was as follows: 8:00 to 9:00—Reception and inspection of building. 9:00—Dancing. 9:15—Dance of Miss Friend. 9:30—Prize drawing. 9:50—Trio by Miss Friend and musicians. 10:15—Duet by Spanish musicians. 10:20—Violin solo by Miss Friend. 10:35—Dance by Miss Friend. 11:00—Balloon dance.

W. Stark, 5-gallon can of Amalie oil; fifth—Mrs. Jesse Black In Town After an Absence of a Number of Years Isadore Davis, a former well known resident of this city, was in town this week from San Francisco, after an absence of fa number of years, and it is a couple of days trying to locate old landmarks in Anaheim. He found so many changes and improvements that he had difficulty in locating any, and expressed great surprise at the advancement made in this city in recent years. On Saturday he found it almost impossible to park his car, there being so many automobiles in town, and he gave it as his opinion that there was more business and more stir in Anaheim than in any city of its size in California. "Izzy" was here following his return from the Philippines during the Spanish war, when he crossed the Pacific with the first California regiment. He had not seen Anaheim since, and did not know really whether he was in his old town or not. He is a native of this city, but left 34 years ago, going to San Francisco. He has traveled extensively throughout the world in recent years, and has just returned from a business trip throughout the southwest. His father was a pioneer merchant of this city, but moved to San Francisco many years ago, and passed away in that city in 1915. In 1887 the old gentleman sold 40 acres of land at Brookhurst for $50 an acre. He had set the tract to vines and walnuts, but squirrels and gophers were so numerous that they played havoc with the trees and vines, and he disposed of it for $2000. Today it cannot be bought at $5000 an acre. Mr. Davivs also sold other property here at prevailing figures, and this property today is worth a fortune. He built a fine two story residence on West Center, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, and here he resided with his family for many years. In th$_0$ early 70's his residence was destroyed by fire, but a larger and finer home was erected upon the site. This building was later purchased and removed to West Anaheim and a number of years ago was torn down. At the time of its erection it was one of the finest residences in southern California. "Izzy" hunted rabbits and qualls in the section immediately outside the city limits, where the country is now filled with Valencia orange groves and beautiful homes. He was sure a surprised kid when he saw the old town again. He is 49 years old, is married but has no children. When City Marshal Steadman turned his suspicious eye on Emil Crespin and finally arrested him on the charge of being the assailant of Mrs. Blanche Staley, Thursday evening, June 9, he had th$_0$ correct dope and got the right man. Under the skillful handling of Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr, and at the urgent appeals of his wife, Crespin answered his crime last Thursday, and afterward made a detailed confession to District Attorney A. P. Nelson, also signing his name to a written confession. When Steadman arrested Crespin he was convinced from certain evidence he had and from Mrs. Staley's description of her assaultant, that he had the right man. After Mrs. Staley had looked with indifference on two or three other prisoners, and fainted at the sight of Crespin, the marshal was satisfied, consequently he hurried his prisoner off to the county jail, believing it would be unwise to keep him in the Anaheim bastile, as the temper of the people here is somewhat strained by the several cases of assault reported in this section during the past few months. The sheriff's office had not been notified of the crime, and wer$_0$ somewhat surprised when Steadman arrived with his prisoner. Deputy Sheriff O. K. Carr is given credit for securing the confession. He had two or three talks with Crispin, who has been confined in the county jail since his arrest the day after the attack. Thursday afternoon, when Carr believed that the prisoner would admit his guilt, he summoned Mrs. Crespin from Anaheim. Behind closed doors at the county jail, Carr, Crespin and his wife talked for an hour or more. Carr urged the prisoner to tell the truth about the matter, as did his wife. She told him that if he committed the crime that she would rather know it to be a fact than to be kept in suspense any longer. Crespin then admitted that he attacked Mrs. Staley. His wife told him that she thought more of him for telling the truth. In his written confession Crespin is alleged to have admitted that he saw Mrs. Staley approaching the corner of North Claudina and Cypress streets alone and that he hid behind a palm tree until she passed him. He then jumped at her and dragged her across the street toward a church, he said. Crespin told Carr that he became frightened at Mrs. Staley's screams and that he saw two men running toward him. He darted across a vacant lot and hid between two barns ZEUS-WHITAKER NUPTIALS The Berkeley Gazette of June 17, contains the following account of a wedding which will be of interest to many Anaheim people: The marriage of Miss Lilly Zeus, daughter of Mrs. Marle Zeus, to Gerald Whitaker was solemnized in St. Mark's chantry this afternoon at five o'clock at one of the most daintily appointed weddings of the mid-summer. Forty relatives and friends were bidden to the service, which was read by Rev. W. R. H. Hodgkin rector of St. REPUBLICAN CLUB ORGANIZED Orange county Republicans carried away the big plums in the organization of a Great Southern California Republican club effected at a meeting of prominent Republicans of southern California at the Alexandria hotel, Los Angeles, Saturday evening. The purpose of the club is to support candidates at the primaries and boost their campaigns. Assemblyman William O. Hart, of Orange, was elected president, with T. B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, and C. C. Chapman being chosen as vice-presidents. Vice-presidents were also named for other counties of the southland. N. T. Edwards, of Orange, member of the board of supervisors, and W. B. Williams, cashier of the First National bank of Santa Ana, were made members of the executive committee. Those in attendance were acknowledged leaders in their respective communities and the fact that Orange county men were placed in prominent positions was pointed out as indicating that they are held in high esteem by their political colleagues in southern California. Officer Carr stated that Crespin's wife had been told that her husband was being subjected to "third degree" methods and when she arrived at the jail she wanted to see the sweat box. She was very much surprised, according to Carr, when she found that there is not such thing as a sweat box in the county jail and that no threats had been made toward her husband with a view of securing a confession from him. About six months ago Crespin's brother, Mike, was arrested in Anaheim for attacking a woman. He too pleaded guilty and now is serving a term of from one to fifty years in San Quentin.

Officer Carr and other officials deny that they ever use any such means of securing a confession. Carr, who has secured confessions from several criminals and thereby saved the county the expense of a trial, has merely prevailed upon the subject to tell the truth. He says he never made any promises of leniency or any threats whatsoever. AUTO MEN FAVOR SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY That ninety per cent of the members of the Orange County Automobile Trades association favor Saturday afternoon closing of their places of business through the months of July, August and September, was known, following reports from different parts of the county submitted at the annual meeting of the association Friday night in the shop of the Orange County Ignition works' branch at Orange. Members in the various cities and districts of the county were canvassed by the committees to ascertain the feeling of each individual as to the Saturday afternoon closing, and it proved that the vast majority were in favor of the plan. The association, by formal motion, recommended that all members close their places of business Saturday afternoons during the three months. The action is merely a recommendation to ANAHEIM MAY BE ENCIRCLED BY OIL WELLS SPLENDID PROSPECTS IN TERRITORY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THIS CITY Garden Grove and Buena Park Each Anticipating Flowing Wells Within a Short Period—Heffern No. 2, Showing Oil, and Is Certain to be a Producer—Heffern No. 1, Is Is Sald, Will Be Drilled Deeper. There is a strong probability that Anaheim will awake some morning before many days have passed, and find itself an oil town—or at least, so hedged about by gushing oil wells that every foot of ground within the city will be considered proven territory. At three points of a triangle, with Anaheim in the center, each point only a few miles from our city limits, wells are being drilled, and latest reports indicate excellent prospects at each point. 1 Garden Grove, to the southwest, the standard is drilling a test well, which is only five miles from Ana- Members in the various cities and districts of the county were canvassed by the committees to ascertain the feeling of each individual as to the Saturday afternoon closing, and it proved that the vast majority were in favor of the plan. The association, by formal motion, recommended that all members close their places of business Saturday afternoons during the three months. The action is merely a recommendation to the members. Earl Matthews, president of the Orange County Ignition works, Santa Ana, was elected president of the association, succeeding Albert Sitton, of Fullerton, who has rendered the organization valuable service during the past year. Other officers chosen were: First vice-president, Robert Atkinson; second vice-president, J. F. Kaufman; treasurer, H. H. Dale; attorney Carl Heim. Herbert O. Davis was re-elected secretary. Davis has held the position since the retirement of Walter Bliddick. His work has been highly satisfactory and remarks complimentary to his efficiency were made by Robert Atkinson and others. The annual meeting of the California Automobile Trades association will be held at Santa Barbara next Monday and Tuesday. Indications point to a good-sized delegation from Orange county. Officers are to be elected and other matters of importance are scheduled to come up. TWO LOVING HEARTS JOINED IN WEDLOCK Mr. Anton Schulte and Mrs. Marie Shanley Happily Married at St. Boniface Church Mr. Anton Schulte and Mrs. Mario Shanley were married at St. Boniface church in Thursday morning, Rev. Father Brown officiating. A number of friends of the happy young couple were present at the ceremony and at its conclusion they were the recipients of heartiest congratulations. The groom's son and daughter were witnesses. The groom is a well known resident of this city and South Pasadena, having moved hither from Escondido several years ago. He is well and favorably known throughout the community, and has many warm personal friends throughout southern California. He is a man of large means and has in view many improve-itself an oil town—or at least, so hedged about by gushing oil wells that every foot of ground within the city will be considered proven territory. At three points of a triangle, with Anaheim in the center, each point only a few miles from our city limits, wells are being drilled, and latest reports indicate excellent prospects at each point. Garden Grove, to the southwest, the standard is drilling a test well, which is only five miles from Anaheim. It has passed the two thousand foot level, and indications are that a producer will be brought in within a few days. There is much excitement at the Grove, the inhabitants of the town and drillers being confident that the drill is boring its way toward a rich oil sand, and that the hole will be spouting the black fluid, perhaps within a week. Property values have rapidly advanced in the town—in fact real estate has doubled in price, it is said, within the past few weeks, and the little city is overrun with strangers who are anxious to be in on the ground floor should anything develop. Garden Grove, our near neighbor on the southwest, is certain to be an oil town. Buena Park, at the northwest point of the triangle, is also lying awake at nights expecting to hear of a strike that will put that village on the map as one of Orange county's live and bustling cities. The drill is making good progress here, and everybody is supremely confident it will fall through the crust into an ocean of oil within a few days. Drilling at Buena Park is not considered wild-catting, because the oil companies and the drillers hold this to be provevn territory. Several companies have leases here, and the field is going to be developed. Buena Park, our neighbor on the northwest, is certain to be an oil town. There is now no question in the minds of the drillers and stockholders regarding Heffern No. 2. Its an oil well, and its capacity will be known within a week or two. Saturday the drill was down 3900 feet, and the sand was showing oil, consequently there is not a doubt in the minds of the drillers that the well is a producer and may be a gusher. This well is a half mile from Heffern No. 1, which has been lying idle for several weeks, and is only 700 feet from Kraemer No. 12, which came in last Friday and is flowing 1000 barrels a day. Heffern No. 1 was drilled to 4000 feet and work on it ceased.

This well is a half mile from Heffern No. 1, which has been lying idle for several weeks, and is only 700 feet from Kraemer No. 12, which came in last Friday and is flowing 1000 barrels a day.

The installing officer was Eminent Sir George Burnham, grand standard bearer of the organization. H was assisted by Eminent Sir Charles Benton, acting grand marshal, both members of San Diego commandery.
