VOLUME LI KU KLUX KLAN IS OPERATING IN ANAHEIM J. H. CLARK RECEIVES A PEREMPTORY DEMAND TO MOVE ON Rumored That Others Have Been Ordered to Leave, But Report Not Verified—Clark Proposes to Fight If Molested, and a Number of His Friends Are Supporting Him—It Is Stated a Pinkerton Man Has Been Engaged to Unearth the Klan. Within the past few days it has developed that we have a full-fledged, honest-to-goodness society, Knights of of the Ku Klux Klan, in Anaheim. Who the members are, is, of course, unknown, as this organization always works in the dark, carefully concealing the identity of its members. Its chief mode of operation is to send mystic, threatening letters to persons who have incurred the displeasure of the members, or who, in the opinion of the members, are undesirable citizens. a Pinkerton man to trace the letter back to the writer. Organization of secret societies for the purpose of disciplining citizens is always unlawful, but there was a time in the history of California when the people were, perhaps, justified in forming vigilante committees. In the pioneer days when laws were lax, authorities impotent to enforce them, and bad men flourished without hindrance; the punction of vigilantes was necessary for the protection of the lives and property of the people, and the hanging of a few notorious criminals had a salutary effect. But that day is past. There is no excuse for the existence of vigilantes or Ku Klux in these times. The laws are rigorous, the peace force ample and competent, and any man found guilty of crime is severely punished. There is no need for the existence of a secret society outside the law for the punishment of evil-doers. The people need no protection other than what the constituted authorities give them, therefore there is a general belief that the Ku Klux members are not actuated by a zealous regard for law enforcement, but the impelling motive behind them is a spirit of intolerance demanding that all men should think their thoughts and walk through life on the narrow pathway prescribed by them. This paper favors a strict enforcement of all laws, whether or not we approve of all the laws. There are undoubtedly bootleggers in this com- CITRUS GATE ASK SIDE REMO FUMIGATING INSISTING SATISFACTORY BER OF RULES Six Petitions in Horticultural County to Fire Him—Peace "Incompetent, Egregious Bearning," Also The His Friends—Harming the Past Three Years. Apparently George gating inspector for county, is not perfume the satisfaction of citrus growers, as made to have him Sloop, it appears, if the growers as well when the demands he considered by Horse sioner Brock, a war-ticipated. Last week six peacetime throughout th Within the past few days it has developed that we have a full-fledged, honest-to-goodness society, Knights of of the Ku Klux Klan, in Anaheim. Who the members are, is, of course, unknown, as this organization always works in the dark, carefully concealing the identity of its members. Its chief mode of operation is to send mystic, threatening letters to persons who have incurred the displeasure of the members, or who, in the opinion of the members, are undesirable citizens. When it becomes necessary to enforce the threats by personal exertion, the participants are always effectually cloaked and masked, in order that the victim may not know who his assailants are, and therefore have redress under the law. The Ku Klux Klan of Anaheim, it appears, are self-constituted guardians of the morals of the city, and certain citizens, who are not ordering their daily lives in accordance with the moral code established by the Klan, have come under their displeasure. Threatening letters have been mailed to the victims, ordering them to put their houses in order and depart within a given time, insituating dire consequences if they fail to comply. What will follow a refusal to heed the warning is not defined. That is left to the imagination of the victim. It appears that the much-advertised and greatly exaggerated bootleger is a particular aggravation to the Klan, and it purposes purifying the atmosphere of the city by eliminating him. The Gazette is not in sympathy with the bootleger. He is an outlaw, engaged in violating a law of the land, not because he is conscienciously opposed to its provisions, but because he is making a profit through its violation. But there is a law providing for the just punishment of the bootleger, and numerous officials striving to apprehend and convict him. Therefore we see no reason for a lawless organization forming for the purpose of fighting him. If the members of the Ku Klux have evidence that a man is violating the law they can lay that evidence before the constituted authorities and have him punished. If they have no such evidence they have no right to man-handle or threaten him. A man is supposed to be innocent until he is proven guilty by unimpeachable testimony, therefore the bootleger, until he is proven guilty, is still an innocent man in the eye of the law. Anyhow, there is no authority under the laws of God or man, that permits situated authorities give them, therefore there is a general belief that the Ku Klux members are not actuated by a zealous regard for law enforcement, but the impelling motive behind them is a spirit of intolerance demanding that all men should think their thoughts and walk through life on the narrow pathway prescribed by them. This paper favors a strict enforcement of all laws, whether or not we approve of all the laws. There are undoubtedly bootleggers in this community as well as every other community in the United States, but they are giving us no concern. We have no dealings with them, and we are not going to have any sleepless nights because some other citizen does. We should worry. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION That the First Baptist church of Santa Ana will be the meeting place for the annual Orange County Sunday school convention on May 11 and 12, was the announcement that interested church people. The decision was reached at a meeting of the various committees in charge of the convention at the First Methodist church Friday night at which Hugh Gibson, secretary of the Sunday school association, southern half of California, alided in arranging plans for the convention. William A. Brown, secretary of the missionary movement in southern California, and Professor M. A. Honline, well known educator of Los Angeles, will be two of the chief speakers at the convention, according to plans adopted. It is expected that Miss Rose Stopp, representative of the Presbyterian board, and Mrs. Alice C. Wood, instructor at Whittier college, will be among the speakers on the daily vacation school organization. It is expected that this phase of the church work will occupy much of the time during at least one day of the county gathering. More definite plans for the convention will be determined at the next meeting of the committees to be held in about ten days. C. E. Kellogg is at the head of the committees at work on the convention details and Mrs. O. S. Catland is secretary. SUIT CONTINUED The suit over the will of Susan L. Ku Klux have evidence that a man is violating the law they can lay that evidence before the constituted authorities and have him punished. If they have no such evidence they have no right to man-handle or threaten him. A man is supposed to be innocent until he is proven guilty by unimpeachable testimony, therefore the bootlegger, until he is proven guilty, is still an innocent man in the eye of the law. Anyhow, there is no authority under the laws of God or man, that permits a private citizen to punish a fellow man for violation of the law. Ninety-nine per cent of the people of Anaheim are peaceful, law-abiding citizens who are indifferent to the bootlegger, because they have no commerce with him, and are equally indifferent to the Ku Klux and out of sympathy with him. If the exuberant spirits comprising these two forces run afoul of each other and fight until all are exterminated, the conservative and level-headed people will probably bear the loss to the community with fortitude. J. H. Clark, formerly proprietor of the Hotel Valencia, a few days ago received a peremptory demand from the Ku Klux to gather up his effects and leave Orange county within ten days, and there is a rumor, although unverified, that others have received similar missives. Instead of becoming terrorized Clark made the letter public, and forthwith purchased a supply of guns and ammunition, with a full determination to defend himself and his hearthstone should an attempt at violence be made. He refuses, he says, to be intimidated or dictated to by a secret, underground, black hand bunch, and is prepared to fight it out. Furthermore a number of Clark's friends have volunteered to act as a guard, and he has engaged More definite plans for the convention will be determined at the next meeting of the committees to be held in about ten days. C. E. Kellogg is at the head of the committees at work on the convention details and Mrs. O. S. Catland is secretary. SUIT CONTINUED The suit over the will of Susan L. Beebe begun in the superior court on Saturday, was continued until May 5 by Judge West. Bird V. Beebe, of Anaheim, and Leona Butterfield, of Los Angeles, brother and sister, objected to the distribution as petitioned by the administrator, L. E. Miller, on the ground that certain notes have been omitted from mention as a part of the estate and that another note, for approximately $3, has undergone a change of endorsement which amounts, they charge, to an attempt to change the terms of the will. This note they contend, was thus diverted from Leona Butterfield to her brother, Dr. Jay L. Beebe, of Anaheim, and his sister, Susie McAuley, of Fullerton. Tipton and Callor, attorneys, represent the objecting heirs. E. J. Marks, of Marks and Launer, Fullerton,and H. C. Head, of Head, Rutan and Scovel, of Santa Ana, represented the administrator at the hearing. As set forth by Attorney Marks, the administrator takes the position that the will, executed in 1914, was "republished" by means of a codicil added in 1919, which guided and sustains. Marks argued, the distribution as proposed by the administrator. A graceful liar has more friends than a graceless truth-teller. All of the petitioners numerously signed; tire district has been presented Brock and demand moved.

Also That He is Partial to His Friends—Has Heid the Job for the Past Three Years. Apparently George W. Sloop, fumigating inspector for northern Orange county, is not performing his duties to the satisfaction of a large number of citrus growers, as efforts are being made to have him removed. Mr. Sloop, it appears, has friends among the growers as well as enemies, and when the demands for his removal are considered by Horticultural Commissioner Brock, a warm discussion is anticipated. Last week six petitions were circulated throughout the northern part of range to assembly at the office of the Riverside Water company at 9 o'clock. There will be pilot cars to lead the party so that no time will be lost reaching the water spreading grounds. This trip will probably be the most enlightening and interesting of any that has yet been made, for the reason that more water is being sunk this season than in any previous year during which this work has been carried on. The association will furnish hot coffee. Each party should bring a luncheon. All are cordially invited to join in this trip of inspection. INHERITANCE TAX FOR THE LEGATEES Heirs of Mrs. Luneberg Estate Will Be Called Upon for Large Amount $10,000 must be paid as inheritance tax by the heirs to the Rosalie Hart Luneberg estate, according to a report of the inheritance tax appraiser on file in the superior court on behalf of Ray L. Riley, state comptroller. The exact amount of the tax is listed as $10,163.28. The estate has a market value of $242,636.25, a federal tax of $3,895.97, was deducted. The value, without these deductions, is $258,361. The estate includes valuable property in the HOWARD RESIGNNS HIS OFFICE AS RECORDER TENDERS RESIGNATION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES LAST THURSDAY NIGHT Gives No Reason for Retirement, But Supported the Wrong Ticket in the Recent Election—Board Casting About for His Successor—Property Owners Protest Against Paving on Oak and Clementine Streets—Vote on Annexation Canvassed. A mild stir was created at the meeting of the city trustees Thursday night when City Clerk Merritt raed the resignation of Judge J. S. Howard, who nounced his intention of retiring from the office of city recorder. No date was fixed in his letter to the board, consequently the trustees laid the matter over for consideration at the next meeting, when the new board will be organized. In his letter the judge gave no reasons for his resignation, but it is pre-empted by the new board will be organized. gating inspector for northern Orange county, is not performing his duties to the satisfaction of a large number of citrus growers, as efforts are being made to have him removed. Mr. Sloop, it appears, has friends among the growers as well as enemies, and when the demands for his removal are considered by Horticultural Commissioner Brock, a warm discussion is anticipated. Last week six petitions were circulated throughout the northern part of the county asking the committee to remove him on the ground that he was incompetent and unfit for the position. The petitions charge that "he is incompetent and unfit for the posing, harsh and sarcastic toward growers not his particular friends, and that he is partial and given to favoritism." These are pretty severe charges and if they are substantiated Sloop's friends will have to put up a pretty stiff fight to retain him in the office. The petition, which was circulated in this city, contained the following names of growers, and the number of acres owned by each signer: W. Wagner, Jr., Anaheim, 43; Henry Wagner, Anaheim, 80; C. Jackson, Santa Ana, grove on Placentia avenue, 10; Henry F. Bandick, Orange, grove on Placentia avenue, 10; Simon Tousson, R. F. D., Anaheim, 20; J. D.

Sidnam, Anaheim, 14; M. N. Jay, Anaheim, 9. Mr. Sloop has held the office for the past three years, having been appointed by Commissioner Earl Morris on the recommendation of S. S. Collins, fruit inspector. All of the petitions are said to be numerously signed, and when the entire district has been canvassed they will be presented to Commissioner Brock. $10,000 must be paid as inheritance tax by the heirs to the Rosalie Hart Luneberg estate, according to a report of the inheritance tax appraiser on file in the superior court on behalf of Ray L. Riley state comptroller. The exact amount of the tax is listed as $10,-163.28. The estate has a market value of $242,636.25, a federal tax of $3,895.97, was deducted. The value, without these deductions, is $258,361. The report recalls the recent filing of Mrs. Luneberg's will, which disposed of her estate in the form of large legacies to various friends, including Dr. Karl A. Loerch, of Santa Ana; Edgar Hartung and Miss Eleanore Parker, of this city. Loerch's share amounts to $23,-635.50, from which was deducted the sum supposedly to be used from his share by the surviving husband, Joachim F. Luneberg, 67, who has a life interest in the whole estate. Property bequeathed in the will does not come into possession of the legatees until the husband's death. Loerch must pay an inheritance tax of $755.29 upon his share. While making generous provision for numerous friends Mrs. Luneberg left nothing to her sister Mrs. Ernestine Bunker of Clearwater Mrs. Bunker was left $25 a month by the Napo leon Hart. AMERICAN DYE WORKS SEEKS DAMAGES IN COURT Suit Filed Against F. H. Bley for $1000 The dye works, which conducts branches in various southern California cities, seeks to restrain F. H. Bley former manager of its Anaheim branch from conducting his own business under a name declared to be similar to that of the plaintiff, and has filed suit for $1000 damages. The plaintiff intimates that Bley after launching out for himself used the names American Cleaning and Dye Works and American Odorless Dry Cleaning for the alleged purpose of deceiving the public and dividing patronage from the plaintiff to his own establishment by leading patrons to believe that they were still dealing with the plaintiff. Even the telephone company has been brought into the suit as a defender at the meeting of the city trustees Thursday night when City Clerk Merritt read the resignation of Judge J. S. Howard who nounced his intention of retiring from the office or city recorder. No date was fixed in his letter to the board consequently the trustees laid the matter over for consideration at the next meeting when the new board will be organized. In his letter the judge gave no reasons for his resignation but it is presumed the recent city election had something to do with it. The judge opposed the election of Mann and Stock,and was an active supporter of the civic league candidates.His action may possibly have been influenced by the fact that his men were defeated with the exception of one man. The judge later issued a statement denying the rumor that his action was influenced by the city election.His resignation,他 said，was written before the date of election He also denied that he was a candidate for the postoffice. There is much speculation as to who will succeed Judge Howard as city recorder It is said the trustees are considering a number of persons，但 it is unlikely a decision will be made，或 announced，until the board meets on the 27th. A petition numerously signed，protesting against the paving of Oak street between Lemon and Clementine street from Oak to Broadway，was presented by Dr.W.S.McFarlane and Carl Pressel They declared that a year hence the work could probably be done at considerably lower rate.As no official steps have yet been taken to pave in this section,the petition was laid over. Councilman Gibbs opposed selling the entire $240,000 sewer bond issue at one time advocating the disposal of only a portion of the bonds at first putting the balance on the market when the money is needed He didn't think it policy to pay interest on the money and let it lie idle.The bonds will not be advertised for sale until after the next meeting of the council. The vote on annexation of the strip north and east of town was canvassed Twenty-one votes were cast seventeen of them favoring annexation.The area to be annexed is ten city blocks.A resolution declaring its annexation was adopted.

All of the petitions are said to be numerously signed, and when the entire district has been canvassed they will be presented to Commissioner Brock and demand his immediate removal. The commissioner will probably fix a date for hearing the petitioners, and Mr. Sloop will be given an opportunity to defend himself. The session will undoubtedly be a warm one, as some of the growers appear to be very much aggrieved over the inspector's administration of his office. Mr. Sloop is a member of the Anaheim grammar school board, having been elected two years ago. INSPECTION TRIP The directors of the water conservation association, at a regular meeting held April 14 at Riverside, decided to have the annual trip of inspection of the conservation of water on the property of the association at the mouth of Santa Ana canyon held on Wednesday, May 3. The party will leave the office of the Riverside Water company, 6th and Main streets, Riverside, at 9 o'clock a.m.; the Anderson hotel, Colton, at 9:15 o'clock, and leave San Bernardino at 9:30 a.m., via E street to 4th and down 4th to B street.

Even the telephone company has been brought into the suit as a defendant. The dye works wants the telephone company to remove the phone from Bley's establishment. The company is said to have refused. Bley installed the telephone under his own name in the American Dye works branch, while he was acting as agent, it is alleged. The phone number, 697, apparently has become familiar to patrons. When Bley started his own business March 15, he kept the telephone and number. The dye works wants that number. Bley wouldn't give it up. Evidently the telephone company remained neutral. As a result of the alleged similar name and the familiar phone number being taken by Bley, the dye works claims to have lost $1000 in the form of diverted patronage and "goodwill," that invisible business asset. The dye works wants Bley restrained by the court from using the names in question, and from using the lists of patrons of the dye works which they say he holds. It also demanded accounting of profits that he intended to have diverted. As far the telephone company, the court is asked to enjoin it from giving service under the "misleading name" Bley is accused of using, and to order the company to remove telephone 697 from Bley's premises. "It is estimated that more than $800,000 worth of barnyard fertilizers are used annually in this county.

"Eighteen citrus associations of the county have approved the project and have voted a sum equal to one-twentieth of a cent per box toward financiting it. The Anaheim Citrus association will furnish sufficient housing facilities for the undertaking at a nominal charge. The sum of $2000 has been raised by the co-operating associations for the necessary apparaatus. A board of directors and a laboratory director will be appointed by the two citrus exchanges in the county within the next two months, after the by-laws have been ratified by the member assoociations." Wahlberg said the laboratory will not only handle fertilizer samples, but also samples for alkali, acidity and moisture determinations. The farm advisor said the laboratory will fill a long felt need, and predicted that those in charge of the plant would be working at capacity by fall. The fertilizer committee is composed of Dr. S. S. Twombly, Fullerton; F. S. Kniss, La Habra; W. F. Crist, El Modena, and D. D. Waynick, Anaheim. BATTLE OF SHILOH Capt. J. S. Troutman, who is a youth of 81 years, and is a frequent caller at this office, was in to see us the other day, and recalled the fact that Frie OUTSIDE CITIES TO EXHIBIT AT BIG SHOW EVERY SECTION OF THE VALENCIA DISTRICT TO HAVE A FINE DISPLAY Men Now Engaged in Preparing the Ground for the Big Tents—Civic Row to Be One of the Big Features—Two of the Tents Are 130x250 Feet in Dimensions—Automobile Show One of the Most Interesting Features. Every municipality, civic organization and distributing association in the Valencia orange growing district has entered an exhibit in the forthcoming second annual California Valencia orange show, to be held at Anaheim, May 23 to 30. The success of the coming show seems assured through the co-operative efforts of these organizations. Manager Fraser, of the show, and city employees have been engaged in BATTLE OF SHILOH Capt. J. S. Troutman, who is a youth of 81 years, and is a frequent caller at this office, was in to see us the other day, and recalled the fact that Friday was the sixtieth anniversary of the battle of Shiloh, one of the bloodiest fights of the civil war. The captain was a high private in the Sixth Iowa infantry under command of Col. McDowell. The federals were commanded by Gen. Grant and the confederates by Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, who was killed in battle. The fight continued for two days and was one of the decisive battles of the war. Troutman's major was later promoted to be a general and is known as the hero of the fight at Altoona Pass. Troutman's regiment was in both days' fight and saw hard service, but he escaped unwounded. He fought the entire war and for many years has been and honored and respected resident of this city. The captain hopes to live to be a hundred years of age. THE U. P. HEARING AT FULLERTON IS CONTINUED Residents of Fullerton whose property is apt to be damaged in the event that the Union Pacific builds its line through that city had before them Friday the information that the state railroad commission had no jurisdiction as to determining the amount of such damage, following a hearing held before I. H. Martin, representative of the state board, at the Fullerton city hall late Thursday. Much testimony was taken relative to prospective property damage and also relative to the asserted dangerous crossing that would be established if the road crossed Spadra avenue. Martin advised the city authorities to obtain data as to the best way for the railroad to cross the avenue, whether by subway, at grade, or with an overhead structure. The manner in which the Union Pacific will cross Spadra avenue is a matter resting entirely between the railroad and the city. Martin said. The city, it was decided, will take up with the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific the proposal that the latter Every municipality, civic organization and distributing association in the Valencia orange growing district has entered an exhibit in the forthcoming second annual California Valencia orange show, to be held at Anaheim, May 23 to 30. The success of the coming show seems assured through the cooperative efforts of these organizations. Manager Fraser, of the show, and city employees have been engaged in laying off the grounds for the show. A considerable portion of the ground has already been cleared by the city. The Turck house is still on the site, but will probably be moved off whether it is sold or not. The Dickel residence was moved Saturday to its new location on South Citron street. The citrus tent, which will hold the orange and lemon exhibits, is 130x250 in size. The entrance to this tent will be on the Lemon street side. The industrial tent is the same size, and the baby welfare tent will be 60x100 feet. These tents are to be on the south of the citrus tent. A parking space for 500 autos will be provided in the rear of the tents. One of the features of the show will be "Civic Row," in the industrial section. At least eight towns will have exhibits on this row, each in charge of the secretary of the civic body making the exhibit. Literature and all desired information relative to the various towns can be secured of these secretaries. A force of men was put to work on the grounds Monday. The city is laying a water main, and a beautiful fountain will be installed. The show this year will be greatly enlarged over the first attempt of last year. One tent housed the exposition last year. Three huge tents, each more than a block in length, will be used. More than twice as many feature exhibits will be displayed this year as were displayed at the first show. It is promised that these features will be masterpieces of construction. The supervision of the construction of them will be in the hands of noted designers. Each exhibit will be entirely covered with Valencia oranges. The industrial and automobile sections will be exceedingly large and will contain all conceivable sorts of implements, machinery and other farm tools. Many manufacturers in southern California have already reserved space in these sections and it is assured that every available foot of Martin advised the city authorities to obtain data as to the best way for the railroad to cross the avenue, whether by subway, at grade, or with an overhead structure. The manner in which the Union Pacific will cross Spadra avenue is a matter resting entirely between the railroad and the city. Martin said. The city, it was decided, will take up with the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific the proposal that the latter utilize the Santa Fe tracks in the city. In order to give the municipal authorities time in which to assemble the data, Martin adjourned the hearing until April 28 at 10 a.m. The Union Pacific already holds a franchise covering a proposed line from the western to the eastern city limits. City Attorney Albert Launer represented Fullerton at the hearing. Stanley Reinhaus, attorney of Santa Ana, presented the objections of a number of southside property owners. The meeting was largely attended. NO OPPOSITION TO U. P. No opposition developed at the hearing conducted at Anaheim Thursday by Irving Martin, state railroad commissioner, in connection with the proposal of the Union Pacific railroad to extend its lines from the south city limits of Fullerton to the south city limits of Anaheim. Albert Launer, city attorney of Fullerton, was among those present at the hearing. W. H. Comstock, general manager of the Union Pacific, stated at the Anaheim hearing that the present plans call for the operation of one train each way daily between Anaheim and Los Angeles. Among others who appeared at the hearing were Fred E. Petft, Jr., general counsel for the Union Pacific; Charles Adams, right of way agent of the road; H. G. Wells, engineer for the railroad cocommission, and others. Asked concerning the proposal to extend the company's lines to Santa Ana, Comstock said the original plan was to enter Santa Ana, but the matter remained to be definitely decided. Representatives of the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric, who were present, voiced no opposition when Commissioner Martin asked if any present who wished to register objections. Nine men, garbed and hooded in the uniform of Ku Klux, suddenly appeared at the funeral of Miss Ida Miller at Santa Ana Sunday and went through a ritualistic service. Later one of them phoned to a newspaper that they belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. Miss Miller was an employee of the Santa Ana News.
