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 William Jessurun, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Jessurun, of this city, and Maurine Cox were married Tuesday at the home of the bride in Santa Ana. The wedding was held on the 25th anniversary of the marriage of the bride's parents. Rev. J. A. Stephenson performed the ceremony. Mr. Jessurun is one of Anaheim's prominent young men, being an employee of the sugar factory, of which his father is manager. The bride is a graduate of the Santa Ana high school, also of a dramatic school in Los Angeles. The young couple will make their home at 302 Wilhelmina street in this city. Following an intensive investigation the coroner's jury at the inquest held to determine the manner in which the Chinese found dead on the sand near Sunset Beach, came to his death, returned a verdict of suicide Saturday afternoon at the Bundschuh funeral establishment at Huntington Beach. Coroner C. D. Brown conducted the inquest. Theories that the dead man was murdered were said to have been cast aside upon thorough investigation as the bullet wound in his head, that caused death, was thought to STEPHENS FOR GOVERNOR In a communication to The Gazette received from Senator William J. Carr, manager for the Stephens campaign, he requests that this newspaper publish a brief statement, dealing with what he declares to be the main issue in the campaign this year to elect a chief executive of this state. Senator Carr said: "In elections already held in eastern and middle western states progressive principles have triumphed. There, the issue has been to get the kind of government California long has enjoyed. Here in this campaign the issue is to keep this kind of government. "Gov. Stephens is committed to its continuance. He is being opposed by interests repulsed in their efforts to get special favors and to control the processes of government to their own advantage. They would have a return to the kind of government that has been repudiated in California and is fast being repudiated in other states. "Progressive and forward looking government has paid. Educational facilities have been extended to meet the greatly increased demand for education; agriculture has been encouraged and fostered; wise policies looking toward the conservation and development of the resources of the state have been put into effect; a great amount of highway construction done; a fine veteran's welfare program adopted; the state government has been made a useful and helpful agency in advancing the state, and during the years of reconstruction California has gone ahead. While all the nation has been struggling with hard times, California has been the one white spot of prosperity on the map. "Corporations taxed solely for state purposes have been forced to pay the same rate of taxation as the ordinary taxpayer who pays nothing to the the coroner's jury at the inquest held to determine the manner in which the Chinese found dead on the sand near Sunset Beach, came to his death, returned a verdict of suicide Saturday afternoon at the Bundschuh funeral establishment at Huntington Beach. Coroner C. D. Brown conducted the inquest. Theories that the dead man was murdered were said to have been cast aside upon thorough investigation as the bullet wound in his head, that caused death, was thought to have been made by a shot from his own revolver. No motive for murder was found, while every angle of the case suggested suicide. Railroad strike precautions extended into Orange county when four guards were placed at the Santa Fe bridge over the Santa Ana river, between Orange and Anaheim. The structure will be kept under constant watch for the present, it was understood. No special menace to the bridge was anticipated, the guard being established in line with a course adopted for the Santa Fe lines generally, it was pointed out. Sheriff C. E. Jackson placed the guards on duty at the request of the Santa Fe company. Special Agent Fred Johnson communicated with him from San Bernardino, asking that the guards be supplied. Southern California Edison company has presented to the railway commission for its approval a proposed reclassification of its capital stock and asked authority in this connection to issue and sell $9,500,000 par value of a proposed new 7 per cent cumulative non-participating preferred stock. The company reports that an agreement has been entered into with the holders of its second preferred stock for the retirement of that stock on a price basis which will cause a net reduction in the company's capital stock outstanding of over $2,500,000. According to the re-classification plan the company proposes to change the name of its first preferred stock of $4,000,000 to original preferred, to reduce the common from $83,500,000 to $60,000,000 and to issue in place of the second preferred and the reduced common $36,000,000 of preferred. This result will be brought about when the outstanding second preferred of $12,029,900 shall have been retired. Three of fourteen applicants for American citizenship examined by Judge K. S. Mahon, were awarded Three of fourteen applicants for American citizenship examined by Judge K. S. Mahon, were awarded their final papers Tuesday, the remainder being refused, one with a severe reprimand for having sought citizenship after receiving exemption from military service during the world war on the grounds that he was an alien. Sebastian Rochtenfuth and Peter Alland, both subjects of Germany, and Dominic Gnoepff, citizen of the Swiss federation, were the three members of the naturalization class who passed their examinations. All three had been hold-overs from previous classe. Johan Erick Anderson, native of Sweden, was denied citizenship because he had used his alien status to exempt him from war service. "Anyone who is not willing to come to the aid of the country in which he is living when that country is in trouble and needs his help, would likely be unwilling to aid it after he had been made a citizen," Judge Mahon declared in rejecting Anderson's petition.

BIRCH PROTEST DENIED Protest of the Birch Oil company against its 1922 tax assessment and its request for a substantial reduction having been rejected by the board of supervisors, as a board of equalization, it is a foregone conclusion in official circles that Birch attorneys will follow their usual custom and seek relief through a court action against the county. In a resolution adopted late Monday the supervisors sustained the assessment as fixed by County Assessor James Sleeper, and denied the oil company's proposal to cut the figure from $840,594 to $250,000. For several years, the Birch Oil company has regularly protested its assessment, has been steadily refused reductions and with equal regularity has filed superior court actions to secure refund of taxes paid under protest. Souch court actions have, without exceptions, been unsuccessful in the superior court. The state supreme court once reversed the superior court and sent the protest of the 1916-17 tax back for retrial. This resulted in another defeat for the oil company. At least two of the tax suits are now pending on appeal in the higher court. The county also has an appeal pending, in connection with last year's Birch protest, which resulted in the oil company's assessment being raised $150,000 instead of lowered. Following this ruling by the board, the oil company asked the superior court for a writ of review on the grounds that the company had not been notified of the board's intention to raise the assessment. Judge West granted this writ and the county filed an appeal from his ruling. In view of past litigation connected with the Birch tax protests, county officials were, accordingly, confident that the previous course would be followed by ythe oil company and that a End Here! —In our plant we are equipped to take care of the most difficult repair job on your battery or electrical system.
