VOLUME LI EEKER DEMANDS KLANSMEN'S NAMES MERCHANT THREATENED BY UNDERGROUND GANG WANTS SPEEDY ACTION Held Conference Monday With District Attorney Nelson Relative to Giving Publicity to Membership Roll—Detective James, Who “Investigated” After Clark Outrage, is a Member of the Klan, According to Nelson, Who Fires Hot Shot at Him. When the Ku Klux Klan sent a threatening letter to Herman Efker, they stirred up a man who is not disposed to meekly obey the behests of an invisible hand and take to cover. Efker is guilty of no infraction of the law, but he gained the displeasure of the klan because he did not hesitate to express his opinion of men who were banded together for the purpose of striking under cover of masks, or terrorizing citizens by writing anonymous letters. ly see what weight should be given to a report of an investigation by a party who is a member of the klan and who is vitally interested in the matter. I take no issue with the writer of the article yesterday as to the integrity and business standing of many of the members of the klan in Santa Ana, and I know and feel certain that there are many members of the klan that do not stand for nor would not sanction mob violence, but whatever their individual feelings or principles may be in this regard, they are associated with an organization that does sanction such violence and does put out threatening letters upon the stationery of the klan and apparently with the sanction and under the authority of the klan. “And I say further that it makes no difference what the individual principles of the members may be nor what their standard of citizenship may be individually, that when any man identifies himself with an organization which is founded for the purpose of terrorizing the public or any individual, that in just so far he lowers his standards and to that extent ceases to be a good citizen. “If any man of any body of men are out to do good or to further the principles of right living and good citizenship or enforce good, red-blooded, honest Americanism, they do not need to do their work ‘hooded.’ If their principles are right, they can face the light of day and perform their good deeds in the face of their community. I can When the Ku Klux Klan sent a threatening letter to Herman Efker, they stirred up a man who is not disposed to meekly obey the behests of an invisible hand and take to cover. Efker is guilty of no infraction of the law, but he gained the displeasure of the klan because he did not hesitate to express his opinion of men who were banded together for the purpose of striking under cover of masks, or terrorizing citizens by writing anonymous letters. Mr. Efker has for several years been prominent in business here. He is proprietor of the Anaheim Music & Novelty Co., and has always been a clean, square and law-abiding citizen, but it appears the members of the hooded circle resent his freedom in expressing an opinion. Following is the note which he received: Dear Sir: You are hereby warned that remarks made by you will not be condoned in the future. You are requested to attend strictly to your own affairs. Failure on your part to heed this warning will call for severe reprimand. The unknown eye is upon you. The unknown ear is about you. Firearms will avail you nothing. Take heed. Yours truly, K. K. KLOROGA. This letter failed to have the desired effect, because it did not charge Mr. Efker's opinion of the klan nor cause him to modify his language when speaking of the klan. In fact it has stimulated him to action in the opposite direction, and he is now making a determined effort to unmask the members. Scores of friends are backing him and assisting him in every way. District Attorney Nelson has the power of all Orange county members in his possession, but so far has refused to make them public. Efker was in Santa Ana Monday conferring with Nelson, and demanded a list of the Anaheim members, but it appears the guardian of the people's rights is not disposed to give them up. It is said the roll call contains the names of men of prominence throughout the county, and since the Inglewood outrage many are withdrawing. Mayhap the district attorney is giving the klan an opportunity to dissolve. L. R. James, head of the Santa Ana branch of the Nick Harris detective agency, has been making an investigation and published a statement some days ago, the purport of which is that so many prominent and good men be involved in terrorizing the public or any individual, that in just so far he lowers his standards and to that extent ceases to be a good citizen. "If any man of any body of men are out to do good or to further the principles of right living and good citizenship or enforce good, red-blooded, honest Americanism, they do not need to do their work 'hooded.' If their principles are right, they can face the light of day and perform their good deeds in the face of their community. I can further say that in the matter of the threatening letter sent to H. J. Efker, of Anaheim, which was turned into my office, that I am informed that L. R. James, the writer of yesterday's report, sought out the man to whom the letter was sent and sought to be employed to make an investigation of the matter for the recipient of the letter, and this before any publicity whatever had been given to the letter." KLAN MEMBERS DESERTING "A number of well known Santa Ana citizens who were members of the Ku Klux Klan have withdrawn from the organization and have shown him substantial evidence of their withdrawal, was stated by District Attorney A. P. Nelson. "These men have come to me of their own accord," said Nelson, "and each of them in conversation with me has told me that he joined the Ku Klux Klan on the belief that it stood four-square upon its written principles. "They told me that they did not believe in the use of anonymous letters, of intimidation and of unlawful force. "They referred to the Inglewood matter as having been one means of opening their eyes to the methods followed by the klan, and they have told me that they now see that a secret organization such as this is, gives opportunity for persecution of men in an unlawful manner. "I told these men that I agreed with them that the principles of the Ku Klux Klan as set down on paper are good. There is nothing wrong with the principles there expressed. I subscribe to those principles myself. Anybody can. "But when we consider the klan's methods—that's different. Secrecy, masked force, velled threats, anonymous letters—why, some of the men who have come to me and have shown me that they have withdrawn from the klan personally could not under any circumstance be persuaded to write terrorizing the public or any individual, that in just so far he lowers his standards and to that extent ceases to be a good citizen."

Mayhap the district attorney is giving the klan an opportunity to dissolve. L. R. James, head of the Santa Ana branch of the Nick Harris detective agency, has been making an investigation and published a statement some days ago, the purport of which is that so many prominent and good men belong to the klan that it could not possibly commit a wrong or violate a law, therefore the censure heaped upon it is unjust. Detective James' statement, published in a Santa Ana paper Monday, in which he threw bouquets to the klan, stirred the ire of District Attorney Nelson, who comes back at him in a broadside, given to the press Tuesday. While James was working on the case, ostensibly endeavoring to smoke the members out of their hiding places, it was believed that he was a member of the klan, and this belief is considerably strengthened by the district attorneys' letter. In part Mr. Nelson said: "The public may naturally infer that the report made yesterday was made by a disinterested party and one who had no knowledge whatever of the inside workings of the Ku Klux Klan. Such, however, is not the fact. The writer of the purported report made yesterday appears upon the list of members of the klan which I have in my possession as Lawrence R. James, 230 Spurgeon building, Santa Ana. As this is the address of the office of the Nick Harris Detective agency, I am construed to believe that the writer, L. R. James, and the name appearing on the list are one and the same person." "This being so, the public can read them that the principles of the Klux Klan as set down on paper are good. There is nothing wrong with the principles there expressed. I subscribe to those principles myself. Anybody can. "But when we consider the klan's methods—that's different. Secrecy, masked force, velled threats, anonymous letters—why, some of the men who have come to me and have shown me that they have withdrawn from the klan personally could not under any circumstances be persuaded to write an anonymous letter, yet as members of the klan they have had to stand for that sort of thing and would have had to continue to stand for it had they remained in." STATE CHAMPIONS Prepared to raise funds to send their five-man team, winner of the state and southern California track title, to Chicago, where it is believed they would have a good chance of winning the high school championship of the United States, 3000 Huntington Beach citizens gathered in a public celebration there Monday night. The team returned Monday morning from Stockton, where it captured the track championship of California last Saturday. No classes were held at the high school. The students and hundreds of Huntington Beach citizens gathered at the station to welcome the title-holders back to the city. A parade and a huge mass meeting was held and sufficient money was raised at the celebration to send them to Chicago to complete for the national interscholastic title May 26-27. The men who returned to Huntington Beach were Coach Ray Walker, Bill Kerr, Milton Nash, Verdon Nash, Charles Bickmore, Nichols and M. A. McCreery, secretary of the chamber of commerce.

Postmaster J. Frederick Ahlborn is not greatly interested in who will succeed him at the expiration of his term about the first of October, but he is interested in the fact that the Anaheim office promises to climb into the first class, and the receipts will justify a higher grade before he turns the office over to some stalwart Republican. Mr. Ahlborn makes the statement that there is a steady and surprising increase in the volume of business transacted at the postoffice, and if the ratio is maintained the Anaheim ble and may be a development of the future, according to Cuttle. The principal question considered at the conference, Cuttle said, was conservation of the waste waters by sinking them into the ground through the spreading method. Results that have been obtained in the past seasons through this process have demonstrated the value of the system and those in the party were impressed with the possibility and necessity of extending the spreading area, it was said. Cuttle stated that most of the time this winter 16,000 miners inches were running into the spreading grounds and at the present time 10,000 inches were being sunk into the debris cone. The area contains between 3000 and 4000 acres and it is the purpose of the committee to extend this area from year to year as money is available for the construction of contour dams and preparation of the ground for receiving the waste waters. According to Floyd Scott, assistant farm advisor of Orange county, who was a member of the party, it was declared at the conference that by proper effort and direction a large percentage of the waters of the river in time could be conserved through the sinking method now employed. H. H. Hale, president of the Anaheim Union Water company and a member of the tri-counties committee, urged careful consideration of any plan having to do with dams. He thought any action along this line MANY ARTISTS ON CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM SEVEN-DAY ENTERTAINMENT OPENS IN THIS CITY MONDAY EVENING Grounds at the Corner of Center and Olive Streets Secured for the Big Tent—An Excellent Program of Lectures, Music and Comedy Offered the Public—Entertainers of National Prominence on the List. Seven days of high class entertainment is offered the people of Anaheim and vicinity by the Ellison-White chautauqua, which opens next Monday at the corner of Center and Olive streets. The program is exceptionally good this year, only speakers, musicians and artists of high grade being permitted on the bill. The officials report that hundreds of persons, who are determined to miss no feature of the excellent program, are purchasing season tickets, but a single admission ticket to any of Postmaster J. Frederick Ahlborn is not greatly interested in who will succeed him at the expiration of his term about the first of October, but he is interested in the fact that the Anaheim office promises to climb into the first class, and the receipts will justify a higher grade before he turns the office over to some stalwart Republican. Mr. Ahlborn makes the statement that there is a steady and surprising increase in the volume of business transacted at the postoffice, and if the ratio is maintained, the Anaheim office will be listed in the first class at the beginning of the new year. The receipts at the office during the month of April, exclusive of the money order business, was $3381.26, while in April 1921, the receipts were $2540.62. This is an increase of $840, or 30 per cent. The money order receipts during 1922 will be $30,000 greater than the figures for 1921. These figures are indicative of the rapid growth of the city and the community patronizing the postoffice. Last week was "Postal Improvement Week," in bringing the service nearer All postal employees were expected to make an extraordinary effort toward better efficiency, and all patrons of the office were asked to aid and abet them in every possible way. Speaking of the result of this endeavor, Mr. Ahlborn said: "Much has been accomplished during the last week, 'Postal Improvement Week,' in bringing the service nearer the 100-per-cent efficiency goal," said Mr. Ahlborn. "Through instructions from this office and by the help of the newspapers, the patrons have been brought into closer co-operation with us. The success of 'Postal Improvement Week,' therefore, has caused us to decide to continue this line of education for our patrons. I believe no other business in the world exists where men work for a stated salary and not 'by piece' where the organization is so universally 'on its toes' and 'on the jump' every minute. We are so in the habit of seeing a postal man hustle that we think nothing of it. We say he is sick if he isn't speeding." "The postal authorities appreciate the response that has been given to make the 'Postal Improvement Week' a success, and they urge, as I urge, that this co-operative movement between the system and the public be maintained as a great partnership with the same degree of efficiency as was shown during last week." BERRY BOXES MUST CONTAIN FULL WEIGHT McPhee Says Law is Being Fairly Observed in This County "Whether it inconveniences the merchant or the public, the legal standards of weights for berries and all other commodities must be maintained," is the specific instruction sent out to all sealers of weights and measures from the state department of agriculture, with particular reference to berries, which are now plentiful in all the markets although the price is still a considerable item in swelling the high cost of living. Although as a rule the legal weight requirements are being fairly well observed here, complaint has reached farm advisor of Orange county, who was a member of the party, it was declared at the conference that by proper effort and direction a large percentage of the waters of the river in time could be conserved through the sinking method now employed. H. H. Hale, president of the Anaheim Union Water company and a member of the tri-counties committee, urged careful consideration of any plan having to do with dams. He thought any action along this line should proceed very slowly, especially if considered as a tri-counties project. Col. S. H. Finley, of Santa Ana, a member of the committee and delegated as one of the representatives of the board of supervisors in the tour, spoke of the interest of Orange county in the spreading experiment, and the value of co-operation in the work. "The success of the spreading process has been demonstrated," said Finley. "The success warrants larger expenditures in the work and effort should be made at once to make more money available to the tri-counties committee. Orange county benefits equally with the other counties. "The board of supervisors has not contributed to the fund. The expense is being borne by irrigation companies and individuals who are interested in water conservation. "Our board of supervisors will have an investigation made as to the legal right of the board with reference to appropriating funds for the work. Personally, I believe that every financial encouragement possible should be given to the committee. Underground streams are increased by the sinking process and owners of wells are directly concerned and should contribute to the expense."

WATER MEN INSPECT THE SPREADING GROUNDS Hundred and Twenty Men From Three Counties in the Party Superintendent W. T. Wallop, Secretary Leo Sheridan and the directors of the Anaheim Union Water company formed a part of the group of men from Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties who explored the upper reaches of the Santa Ana river last Wednesday and inspected the conservation work along that stream. A hundred and twenty men from the three counties composed the party, practically all of the twenty-seven members of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee being among them. According to Francis Cuttle, of the Riverside Water company, chairman of the tri-counties committee, the construction of dams in the Santa Ana river is not contemplated at this time, but may develop into a possibility in the near future, if such construction can be made without treading on the rights of those who have prior rights to the waters of the river. The chairman pointed out that there is no suitable location in the river for construction of a dam at a point where the interests of three counties may be preserved. Check dams in the main canyon and canyons running into the Santa Ana are possible. The conditions complained of do not apply particularly to Orange county, as, according to County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee, the legal requirements for weights for berries are being fairly well observed here, much better in fact. Standards of weights for berries and all other commodities must be maintained," is the specific instruction sent out to all sealers of weights and measures from the state department of agriculture, with particular reference to berries, which are now plentiful in all the markets although the price is still a considerable item in swelling the high cost of living. Although as a rule the legal weight requirements are being fairly well observed here, complaint has reached the department of agriculture regarding the varying weight and short weight of strawberry packages. Reports from representatives of the division of weights and measures show that strawberries have been offered for sale in the open market in packages ranging all the way from 6 ounces to 11 ounces, requiring a re-pack to bring them up to the legal standard of 12 ounces net. Charles F. Hayden, assistant chief of the division of weights and measures, says: "This department for quite a few years has been diligently endeavoring to educate and co-operate with the growers and commission men to the extent that these standards be maintained. After years of fruitless effort, we are of the opinion that standards of this commodity have been abused far more than any commodity coming under our supervision, and for that reason a complaint will be made in each and every case. Whether it inconvenience the merchant or the public, we legal standards must be maintained." The conditions complained of do not apply particularly to Orange county, as, according to County Sealer of Weights and Measures George McPhee, the legal requirements for weights for berries are being fairly well observed here, much better in fact.

Than in many other localities, although occasionally some itinerant dealer takes a chance and unloads a shipment of short-weight berries. These cases are rare and so far this season there have been no prosecutions for violation of the law, and the purchasers are pretty certain of getting their moneys worth, or at least of getting full legal weight when buying from regular dealers. THREE BIG WAREHOUSES DESTROYED BY FIRE Garden Grove Experiences Disastrous Blaze Friday Morning Garden Grove suffered a disastrous fire early Friday morning when three large warehouses, together with several carloads of chili peppers were destroyed. A number of Pacific Electric cars on the siding were also destroyed. The fire broke out in the chill warehouse of J. A. Knapp, and spread to the warehouse of F. B. Kealher and the California Vegetable Union. Calls for help were sent to Anaheim and Santa Ana and fire trucks from both cities were sent to the Grove, but owing to the lack of water they could accomplish little in the way of checking the flames. Twenty-five carloads of chilis were destroyed, and the total loss is estimated at $75,000. The insurance aggregated $43,000. According to J. A. Knapp, at least $50,000 worth of peppers was destroyed in the Knapp and Kealher warehouses. Knapp estimated the loss to the three warehouses proper at $15,000. He said the loss of the Pacific Electric probably would total $10,000. Plans for rebuilding are receiving the attention of Knapp and others whose plants were destroyed. The new Knapp warehouse, which probably will not be erected until late summer or fall, will be more substantial. SPREADING NEWS BY MEANS OF AIRPLANE PAUL CLAUSEN SAILS THROUGH THE SKIES SCATTERING LITERATURE Unique Method of Advertising Orange Show Adopted by Officials—Twenty-Four Cities Visited Sunday by the Birdmen—Monster Tents Are Now Up and Decorators and Mechanics Are at Work on the Inside. Literature advertising the second California Orange Show is being scattered broadcast throughout southern California by airplane.

Timm is the pilot of the ship, while Clausen looks after the publicity end. Sunday they pressed over twenty-four cities, dropping literature bombs on each of them. Acres of tents are now glistening in the sunlight on the city park site and According to J. A. Knapp, at least $50,000 worth of peppers was destroyed in the Knapp and Keallher warehouses. Knapp estimated the loss to the three warehouses proper at $15,000. He said the loss of the Pacific Electric probably would total $10,000. Plans for rebuilding are receiving the attention of Knapp and others whose plants were destroyed. The new Knapp warehouse, which probably will not be erected until late summer or fall, will be more substantial than the old building and will cost from $5000 to $10,000. Knapp said he was at a loss to account for the origin of the fire. None of the employees smoked, he said, and there were no matches or combustibles in the warehouse. Knapp said he had been unable to confirm reports of Pacific Electric trainmen that an unknown man had been seen leaving the Knapp warehouse just prior to the discovery of the blaze.

The Benchley Fruit company, of Fullerton, will have a similar exhibit. The Stebler-Parker Fruit company, of Riverside, will have a complete miniature packing house in operation, depicting every step in the sorting, grading and packing of the oranges. A feature this year will be the "civic row" displays of a large number of chambers of commerce in southern California, which will not have feature exhibits. The displays will show interesting scenes in the various communities. The officials are working diligently to make the exposition the greatest show ever given in California.

The complaint is signed by W. H. Comstock, general manager of the Salt Lake railroad. SALE OF FANCY WORK The sisters of St. Joseph's academy will have a sale of fancy work, embroidery and other articles at the academy on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. The articles comprise the most beautiful lines ever offered in this city, and are the handiwork of the sisters. Inasmuch as the proceeds of the sale are to be devoted to charitable purposes, it is hoped there will be a large attendance of buyers present. A cordial invitation is extended the public to be present, and assist the sisters in making the sale a success. A graceful act causes as much happiness as a good act. HOME LIFE EXTENDED BY THE FAMILY CAR "An interesting phase of automobile ownership is its extension of home life far beyond the four walls of a house," says George Dunton, Ford and Lincoln distributor. "In former years it was not easy to project home influences further than the fornt porch. Recreations invariably separated the family. Now everybody goes and many an automobile is no less than a home on wheels evenings and Sundays when the family finds its recreation together. "The average car buyer today wants an automobile that will serve the whole family. He regards it as one of the necessities of life and wants to get its operation into the household budget at the lowest possible figure. The new Ford and Lincoln cars squarely meet the various requirements of the man who drives one car for all occasions."
