LOS ALAMITOS AGAIN SCENE OF ROBBERY Masked Men Hold Up Billiard Hall and Fight Proprietor Retributive justice swiftly overtook Narciso Cisneros, the brutal slayer of Mrs. Camilla Moreno and Emetrio Escobedo at Sonoratown, near the Anaheim sugar factory, Sunday morning, July 9. Thirteen days after he committed the double murder he was under sentence to be hanged, and is now at San Quentin penitentiary awaiting the day of execution, which was fixed by Judge Williams for Friday, Sept. 22. Few murder cases in California have been settled as expeditiously by the courts as this one. In Orange county it stands second to that of Mose Gibson, the Louisiana negro, who murdered Roy Trapp, the Fullerton rancher, with a hammer, and left his wife at the point of death. Gibson was run to earth in Arizona, brought to Santa Ana, convicted and sentenced to be hanged in less than a week from the date of the crime. He was hanged at San Quentin sixty days after sentence was passed upon him. Cisneros' trial was a short one. At 10 o'clock Thursday morning a jury composed of three women and nine men, was sworn in, and at three o'clock the case was given to the jurors. They were out only nine minutes, returning a verdict of guilty murder in the first degree, and Friday morning Judge Williams passed sentence upon him. Leonard Evans, of this city, defended him. Cisneros made a plea for his life on the ground that his wife and seven children would be left distitute, but the court reminded him that he should have considered the consequences before committing the brutal crime. Cisneros' story at the trial was considerably different from the one he told the officers at the time of his arrest. His first story was to the effect that he met Escobedo on La Palm avenue, just off the boulevard, at six o'clock Sunday morning, July 9. There was a feud between them and they immediately began to fight. Escobedo carried a stick, but Cisneros was armed with a knife. After being stabbed Escobedo broke away and ran to the house where he was living with Mrs. Moreno, falling on the steps, where he expired from the knife wounds. Cisneros then went to his own house next door to the Moreno house, and procured his rifle, intending to make his get-away. Mrs. Moreno followed him, he said, yelling and cursing, and finally, goaded to insane rage, he shot her. At the trial he stat- All speaking will be in the open air, but at Santa Ana a theatre has been engaged and he will begin his address at 8 o'clock. D. Eyman Huff, who will accompany the senator through the county, will preside at the Santa Ana meeting. LOS ALAMITOS AGAIN SCENE OF ROBBERY Masked Men Hold Up Billiard Hall and Fight Proprietor Looting a Los Alamitos billiard hall of $32 after an exciting gun battle with its proprietor, A. Joseph, while a room full of patrons looked on from hurriedly-sought points of safety, two bandits escaped and are being hunted by the authorities. The hold-up, which took place Saturday evening, was the second to occur at Los Alamitos within a few days and the third in three days reported to the officers. Sheriff Jackson is working on the theory that the two Mexicans were the same that robbed the Southern Pacific station and its agent, R.C.Sims, at Los Alamitos, several days before, and also held up Harry Spencer, Irvine warehouse manager, on the Trabuco road last Thursday night. The fact that in both the Los Alamitos and the Spencer hold-ups, one of the bandits wore a mask, increased suspicion of connection between the incidents. The Joseph billiard hall was well filled Saturday night when the bandits appeared suddenly through the front entrance at about 10 o'clock. Joseph was at one of the tables half way to the rear. When a masked man covered him with a gun and told him to hold up his hands, Joseph nervily disobeyed. He ran, instead, toward his living quarters in the rear, with the bandit's gun spitting fire behind him. Joseph was not hit and shortly reappeared with his own revolver. Then began a duel before the straining eyes of the terrified patrons, who cowered against the walls or hid behind tables well out of range. One patron, caught near the front of the place as he was lifting a bottle of soda to his lips, held the bottle carefully skyward while the gun battle was on. The masked man's confederate acted swiftly during gun play. He rushed to the cash register drawer and seized what he could reach, then fled from the hall. Covering his retreat, the armed bandit gave ground before Joseph and backed toward the door through which realizing that the California Orange Show will be event for all time to coerce closed a deal Friday chase of a permanent shibition.

After being stabbed Escobedo broke away and ran to the house where he was living with Mrs. Moreno, falling on the steps, where he expired from the knife wounds. Cisneros then went to his own house next door to the Moreno house, and procured his rifle, intending to make his get-away. Mrs. Moreno followed him, he said, yelling and cursing, and finally, goaded to insane rage, he shot her. At the trial he stated that he found Escobedo and Mrs. Moreno fighting and attempted to interfere. He struck Escobedo over the head with his rifle, then fired at him, but the ball struck Mrs. Moreno. At the trial a young lady who witnessed the affair stated that after killing Escobedo he turned on Mrs. Moreno. The woman was on her knees begging him not to kill her while he was slashing her with the knife. After she had been cut to pieces he got his rifle and shot her. There were eighteen knife wounds and three bullet holes in Mrs. Moreno's body. Cisneros recently spent sixty days in jail for assault. The warrant for his arrest was sworn to by Escobedo, and Mrs. Moreno was a witness against him. While in jail, it is said, he formed a determination to kill both of them, consequently the crime was premeditated. Cisneros was immediately taken to San Quentin penitentiary and now occupies a cell in murderers' row, where Mose Gibson and Eddie Keyes, former Orange county slayers, resided for a short period. Gibson was duly hanged, but Keyes fortunately died of the flue before the date of execution. One advantage in living in a small town is that the rich men in it have to work like everybody else in order to be considered respectable. A "Moore for Senator" club was or-Contract was awarded to George H. Oswald, of Los Angeles, by the state highway commission for asphalt concrete surface and concrete shoulders on 8.77 miles easterly boundary to San Juan creek, in Orange county, on bid $126,615, plus materials furnished by the state, $66,545.70, making the total cost $193,160.70, estimate of California highway engineer, $220,537.73. The masked man's confederate acted swiftly during gun play. He rushed to the cash register drawer and seized what he could reach, then fled from the hall. Covering his retreat, the armed bandit gave ground before Joseph and backed toward the door through which he finally dashed with a parting exchange of shots. From the road in front of the building he turned for a final volley, then the two bandits disappeared. None of the shots fired on either side during the fusillade took effect. Joseph admitted to Sheriff C. E. Jackson, who with Under Sheriff French and Deputy Ballard responded to a summons, that because of the exciting experience he would be unable to identify the highwaymen. Another resident of Los Alamitos, however, stated that he saw them eating crackers near a fence opposite the billiard hall a short time before the holdup. To this information was added that of a Los Alamitos woman store keeper, who sold cheese and crackers to two Mexicans who appeared at about 9 p.m. just after the store had closed. The purchase was handed to them through the door, the woman fearing to admit them.

Realizing that the California Valencia Orange Show will be an annual event for all time to come, the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce closed a deal Friday for the purchase of a permanent site for the exhibition. The J. B. Andrews orange grove, fifteen acres in extent, situated just above North street, between Palm and Citron, was secured through Eugahroad & Fisher in whose hard you suggest to include not over ten miles drive?

REPUBLICANS LEADING With only three days in which to register for voting at the August primary election, the county's registration has reached 23,179. Activities of registration deputies throughout the county during the final week are expected to swell the total to between 25,000 and 26,000 voters who will be qualified to cast ballots at the primary, according to an estimate by County Clerk J. M. Backs. The stir among voters is already apparent, and Backs is preparing to handle a steady rush of those who wish to register before the books close for the primaries, Saturday. This year's registration already shows a material gain over the last taken, that of 1920, when approximately 22,000 voters qualified for the primary, and the entire registration for the year was in the neighborhood of 25,000. Backs predicts a probable registration of 30,000 for the November election this year. Registration statistics show that the three to one lead held by Republicans over Democrats, their nearest rivals, has varied but little from week to week. WALNUT OUTPUT PROMISES TO BE LARGE BUMPER CROP EXPECTED IN THIS SECTION AND THROUGH STATE Unfavorable Conditions Earlier in the Season Overcome, and Trees Recovered—Heavy Rains and Unusual Care of Trees Responsible for the Good Showing—Estimated Crop in State 50 Per Cent Heavier Than Last Year. A few weeks ago the prospect for a heavy walnut crop in this section was not bright, and estimates of those who observed and were competent to judge placed this year's output far below a hundred per cent crop. Extremely favorable weather, however, has made a decided change in the appearance of the trees, and the outlook today is that one of the largest crops ever harvested in the Anaheim district will be shipped to market. The possibili- Realizing that the California Valencia Orange Show will be an annual event for all time to come, the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce closed a deal Friday for the purchase of a permanent site for the exhibition. The J. B. Adrews orange grove, fifteen acres in extent, situated just above North street, between Palm and Citron, was secured through Eygabroad & Fisher, in whose hand it had been placed for sale. The price paid was $45,000, or $3000 per acre. The committee appointed to purchase a site was composed of Charles Eygabroad, R. C. Berger, H. H. Benjamin, Dr. H. A. Johnston and Herman Stern, made the purchase. Other parties were after the property, and the committeemen consider the purchase a fortunate one, as the price paid is very reasonable. Individuals who had been negotiating for the place stepped out of the way and gave the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce the first chance. When the bargain was made Friday Herman Stern, chairman of the executive committee, turned in a check for $500 to cinch the deal. It is necessary to raise $8000 within ten days as the first payment, and terms can be secured on the balance. It is proposed to raise this sum by selling $500 units, and twelve of them were taken immediately. The twelve men subscribing $500 each were R. C. Berger, H. H. Benjamin, Dr. H. A. Johnston, W. J. Siemann, W. A. Dolan, Adolph Thomas, F. A. Backs, Adams-Bowers Lumber Co., Barney Hartfield, F. A. Yunbluth, Charles Eygabroad and Heying Bros. That the property will rapidly advance in value is a foregone conclusion, as it is situated in the suburbs of the city. It is not the intention to hold next year's show on this ground. It will probably be held again on the city park. In order to make room for the show many of the valuable trees will have to be sacrificed, and a heavy crop of Valencias will be harvested from them next year. The Chamber of Commerce has issued a statement and mailed a blank to each member, asking a vote on proposed work during the coming year. Members are requested to check the items they favor and return the sheet to the secretary by mail. Following is a list of the proposals: Placing electric sign on top of the city water tank, South Los Angeles This year's registration already shows a material gain over the last taken, that of 1920, when approximately 22,000 voters qualified for the primary, and the entire registration for the year was in the neighborhood of 25,000. Backs predicts a probable registration of 30,000 for the November election this year. Registration statistics show that the three to one lead held by Republicans over Democrats, their nearest rivals, has varied but little from week to week throughout the year. The Republican total is now 14,503, and that of the Democrats is 4713. Other totals are as follows: Decline to state, 2653; Prohibition, 780; Socialist, 265; Independent, 161; Nonpartisan, 76; Progressive, 19; Progressive Republican, 6; Progressive Socialist, 3. DOING GOOD WORK The Clippled Children's Relief Association of Orange county is very busy taking care of the cases brought to their attention. The scope of the association's work is very broad. It treats not only deformed limbs and cases that require the attention of an orthopedic specialist, but eye, ear, nose, throat and all children's diseases are taken care of. The directors are very much enthused with their work. Considering that the association has been in existence only a few months, the financial support is very encouraging. Also the number of cases reported to them urges the directors to bigger work for the betterment of humanity. The directors also feel that these clippled children's cases should be brought to the attention of every right minded person, in an appeal for financial assistance. It is necessary that this work be carried on, as these unfortunate little ones' futures must be considered. Mail your contributions to any of the following directors: J. Paul Taggart, president, Anaheim; Mrs. Lottle Morse, vice-president, Fullerton; Mrs. M. E. Canby, secretary, Anaheim; E. C. Rundstrom, treasurer; Anaheim; These men and women will see that your contributions will be rightly spent. A few weeks ago the prospect for a heavy walnut crop in this section was not bright, and estimates of those who observed and were competent to judge placed this year's output far below a hundred per cent crop. Extremely favorable weather, however, has made a decided change in the appearance of the trees, and the outlook today is that one of the largest crops ever harvested in the Anaheim district will be shipped to market. The possibility of damage from this date until the nuts are ripe is remote. That the nuts will be of excellent quality is also the prediction of experts. Attributed to light production last year, which gave the trees a rest, and to heavy rains this year, which improved growing conditions,the walnut crop now rapidly approaching maturity promises to be a record breaker both as to size and quality. This refreshing information comes from W. T. Webber, sales manager of the California Walnut Growers' association, who has just completed the annual mid-summer crop survey. He has visited all of the walnut growing districts in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties,and according to his dope sheet the yield will be fifty per cent heavier than that of last year. Unless something unforeseen happens such as a hot wave or other unfavorable weather conditions,before the walnut harvest begins in September,the 1922 walnut crop will be the heaviest in the history of the industry. This is the conclusion Mr. Webber says he reached after completing his survey. "Without wishing to go on record as counting chickens before they are hatched,put me down as saying that unless disaster overtakes the crop before the nuts begin falling the growers are going to reap a bountiful harvest this fall," observes Mr. Webber. "I should not be surprised to see the crop run as high as 60,000,000 pounds,或 fifty per cent more than last year's yieldwhich was unusually light.Such a crop as is in prospect might be expected to sell for from $12,000,000to $15,000,000." "This is a sort of double-barreled crop of walnuts.The grower is going to get more tonnage and the consumer is going to get better quality.Sizes, according to present development,promise to be excellent.The quality of the nuts will doubtless be much better than usual,because the ranchersquite generally,dusted their trees will have to be sacrificed, and a heavy crop of Valencias will be harvested from them next year. The Chamber of Commerce has issued a statement and mailed a blank to each member, asking a vote on proposed work during the coming year. Members are requested to check the items they favor and return the sheet to the secretary by mail. Following is a list of the proposals: Placing electric sign on top of the city water tank, South Los Angeles street—this sign to contain the word "Anaheim" only, letters to be five feet high, sign to be two-faced.

Co-operation with city officials toward securing adequate fire alarm system and improvement, if necessary, of police protection for residents and motorists.

NEW CITIZENS Fourteen allens seeking to become American citizens were members of a naturalization class which was examined Saturday by Judge K. S. Mahon in department 1 of the superior court. Two members of the class, Sebastian Rochtenflush and Peter Ailland, were hold-overs from a previous class, their cases having been continued for various reasons. Both were German citizens. The remaining twelve were making their first appearance in the examination for final papers of citizenship. Among the number was one nun, Agnes Schieber, of Anaheim, a native of Germany. German subjects led in numbers among the class, six such being included. The list of applicants in addition to those already mentioned follows: Dominic Gnoepff, Swiss confederation; George Marshall Allen, Great Britain and Ireland; William Dyke, Great Britain and Ireland; Amanda J. Anderson, Sweden; Emil Stoffel, Germany; Benjamin Eyre, England; Joe Koral, Czecho-Slovan republic; John Spykerman, Netherlands; Franciska Faltermeyer, Germany; Josefa Kelleher, Germany, and John Erick Anderson, Sweden. It seems to be impossible to be a good fisherman and be much good at anything else. This is a sort of double-barreled crop of walnuts. The grower is going to get more tonnage and the consumer is going to get better quality. Sizes, according to present development, promise to be excellent. The quality of the nuts will doubtless be much better than usual, because the ranchers, quite generally, dusted their trees to eradicate aphis and worms, and this freedom from insect and worm pests left the trees with an abundance of vitality which made for quicker and fuller development of the nuts. The setting was nearly a month late, but favorable growing conditions have pushed the crop along so rapidly that the harvest will probably not be more than a week or ten days late." A trade circular which the association has just mailed to its brokers in the east explains that the coming crop will be of finer quality because it will include large quantities of budded walnuts. These, it is explained, are the most highly improved. They run to large sizes, have surprisingly thin shells, and contain the largest plumpest, and whitest kernels. "We expect to ship almost twice as many budded walnuts as we had last year," the association circular announces. "The time is not far distant when one-half of California's walnut production will consist of budded walnuts." The association, it has been learned, will have forty-one large packing houses in operation this season. Many of them are now being remodeled to increase their capacity in expectation of a bumper crop. Arrangements have been made, Mr. Webber says, to deliver walnuts in eastern markets this year quicker than usual. From railroad officials it has been OUTPUT TO RGE EXPECTED IN THROUGH-HEE Earlier in the Trees Recovand Unusual insible for the related Crop in Heavier Than prospect for a this section was of those who sentent to judge far below a p.

WILL JACK DOTY SERVE A JAIL SENTENCE That's the Question That is Agitating Fullerton Just Now Will J. E. Doty, Fullerton druggist, serve 30 days in jail, as commanded by Judge French, after the accused had entered a plea of guilty to the charge of selling liquor? That is the vital question which is interesting numerous people of the community, there being man for, and also many agin' the sentence. Lawyers have dug down deep into their law books with the result that they are more familiar with the law covering such cases than they ever were before. Since the sentence was pronounced last Wednesday morning, the question arose in some quarters whether or not a man could be sentenced to pay a fine and serve a jail term for such an offense as Mr. Doty is accused. The sentence of the court was that Mr. Doty pay a fine of $200 and serve GOLDENSTATECO. LOSES ITS HUP AGAIN CAR SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN, KIDNAPPED BY MORTGAGEE Los Angeles Loan Broker Alleges He Loaned Walter Hodges $400 on the Auto Before Hodges Drove It to San Diego—A. C.

Since the sentence was pronounced last Wednesday morning, the question arose in some quarters whether or not a man could be sentenced to pay a fine and serve a jail term for such an offense as Mr. Doty is accused. The sentence of the court was that Mr. Doty pay a fine of $300 and serve 30 days in jail. The fine was paid and Mr. Doty asked, and was granted, ten days in which to arrange his business affairs before starting his jail term. Since that time petitions have been circulated requesting that the jail sentence be suspended, they being quite liberally signed. Parties opposed to the petition have called upon Judge French at different times and expressed their views. The question of the legality of the double sentence also came to light. City Attorney Lyon was asked for an opinion regarding the fine and jail sentence and gives it as his opinion that it is legal, especially in this case, and the accused man is due to serve the jail sentence as pronounced by the local court. Judge French has not intimated one way or the other, so far, whether or not he will suspend the sentence, and the anxiety of those for and against the sentence will not be satisfied until the expiration of the time limit given the accused to arrange his business affairs, which is ten days from last Wednesday. URGES BUSINESS MEN TO EXCHANGE IDEAS H. J. Banta Addresses the County Auto Club. Declaration by H. J. Banta, manager of the Weinstock-Nichols company, automobile accessory jobbers in Los Angeles, that he was glad he had lived long enough to learn not to fear his competitors, was being recalled by motor dealers of Orange county who heard his address before the meeting of the motor dealers' craft of the Or-County Automobile Trades' association at the Elks' club, Anaheim, last Thursday evening. Banta emphasized points that make better business men of those who meet regularly to discuss the problems of the business line in which they The Golden State Motor company is the owner of a car that has been causing that firm considerable trouble of late. The company havinh the agency for the Hupmobile, of course the car is a Hup. It is the car that carried Walter Hodges, salesman for the company on his joy ride to San Diego some weeks ago. Hodges put the car in a garage while he attended to private affairs, and a representative of the company went down to San Diego and brought it back. The company swore to a warrant charging Walter with the theft of the car, and the case is now pending in the superior court. Hodges' statement is to the effect that he is, or was at that time, a member of the firm, owning a third interest in the business, and that he had a legal right to drive the car to San Diego. He states that he had no intention of disposing of the car, but expected to drive it home when he got ready to come back. He expresses himself as confident that he can convince the court he is not guilty of theft. Another chapter in the history of the car was written Monday night when Bookkeeper Herrington drove it to his home on North Clementine street and left it parked while he went around the corner to a grocery store. When he returned the auto was gone, and neighbors told him two men had driven it away. Naturally, it was supposed to have been stolen, but later it was learned that agents of a loan broker in Los Angeles had kidnapped it and it is now in possession of the broker. He alleges that before Walter Hodges made his trip to San Diego he negotiated a loan of $400 from him, and gave him a mortgage on the car as security. This deal, if the allegation is true, adds a complication to the case. Claims He Was Robbed. A. C. Snow, dealer in second-hand autos, reported to Sheriff Jackson Tuesday that he had been held up and robbed by five men near Irvine station Monday night, the highwaymen getting away with $600 in cash and notes. Two men who were arrested and are now in jail assert that Snow lost his money in two crap games, one at Arch Beach and one at Irvine. Snow is said to have recognized one of the men now in jail as a party to the robbery, but the man states that he took port in the dice game, and that Snow was not robbed.

Banta emphasized points that make better business men of those who meet regularly to discuss the problems of the business line in which they are engaged. "We are past that day when our competitors are to be energetically resisted," he said. "When I injure my competitor I am tearing down my own house. It is destructive effort. You cannot destroy your fellow being without incurring the penalty. "Today, dealers in all kinds of merchandise are replacing with the idea of better service and better values the idea of tearing down their competitors. "No one man knows it all. No one man has all the ideas. Meeting in groups for discussion of problems results in one competitor passing to other competitors business ideas which he has adopted to the betterment of his service, his customers and his own bank account. "The business man who tries to stand alone and operate his enterprise without recognized principles of business, in an effort to tear down his competitors, cannot survive in this day of keen competition in rendering service and giving value. Co-operation and friendly contact, one competitor with the other, is the spirit of the day—a spirit that is demonstrating its worth to every successful business man."

The sheriff is making an investigation and looking for the other men connected with the affair. FILES SUIT TO RECOVER CERTIFICATES F. W. Kellogg Sues Publishers of the Anaheim Herald F. W. Kellogg, owner of the Los Angeles Express, Anaheim Herald and other papers, has filed suit in the superior court against the Anaheim Printing and Publishing company, proprietors of the Anaheim Herald. Kellogg declares in his complaint that "after careful search" he is "unable to locate" two certificates for 130 shares of stock which he endorsed and turned over to S. S. Conklin, then general manager of the Anaheim Herald, but now connected with the Santa Ana Daily News, of which Kellogg's brother, T. P. Kellogg, is general manager. The two certificates were said to have been thus endorsed as collateral security for a loan from the First National bank of Anaheim. Unable to recover them, Kellogg asks the court to force the Herald publishers to issue duplicate certificates. The two certificates which were not returned to Kellogg were endorsed and turned over to Conklin September 6, last, according to Kellogg's complaint.
