VOLUME LI CITIZENS OBJECT TO CHANGING ALLEY CAPTAIN ALEXANDER HENRY ASKS TRUSTEES TO RESCIND ACTION Request of White Temple Congregation for Permission to Build Over Present Alley Held Up for Further Consideration—Petitioners Protest Against Opening Machine Shop on North Clementine—Owner of Parking Ground Wants Driveway on Center Street. Captain Alexander Henry, representing property owners in the vicinity of the Methodist White Temple, appeared before the city trustees Thursday night, and protested against granting the church permission to move the alley in the rear of the property. The church people have for some time contemplated the erection of a beautiful community hall to cost $50,000, and a lot was recently purchased for the stated Edwin M. Daugherty, corporation commissioner. "The highly speculative character of the oil industry has been taken into consideration. The major portion of our efforts will be directed toward the so-called 'outlaw' companies. "These 'outlaw' companies or individuals are those concerns that evade the proper state supervision. This department was conceived with the idea of supervising such promotions. We are now determined to force those who have sought by subterfuge to evade the proper scrutiny by the regular state authorities to either cease to do business or provide a sound financial basis of operation. "These subterfuges are, in general, classed in three divisions: First, the persons or companies who operate without any license or supervision; second, the persons or companies who have a real estate license but use it as a subterfuge; third, the persons or companies doing business under the corporate seal of a bank or trust company. As to the last class, we are not jealous of the bank or trust company, but the people are lead to believe that because certain financial institutions issue a security under their corporate seal, that such institutions pledge assets as a guaranty of the oil promotion project. This they specifically cannot do. We are therefore, endeavoring to obtain the aid of the ORANGE TOWN PENALTY STEPS TAKEN TOWARD TECTION OF OR COUNTY Highways Hereafter By Officers Day Tourist Who Pluck His Appetite With Thief Who Steals Fit Will Go To Jail-to Growers.

Captain Alexander Henry, representing property owners in the vicinity of the Methodist White Temple, appeared before the city trustees Thursday night, and protested against granting the church permission to move the alley in the rear of the property. The church people have for some time contemplated the erection of a beautiful community hall to cost $50,000, and a lot was recently purchased for the site, but as the lot was too narrow for the proposed building, permission was asked to close the present alley, embody it in the building site, and cut an alley through at a different place. Permission was granted at the last meeting of the trustees and a resolution of intention prepared, but Captain Henry's petition asked that the former action of the board be rescinded. The petition stated that changing the position of the alley for one block would create a dangerous jog, as there is much traffic on the street and motor accidents would likely result. Another reason advanced against building over the present alley is that it would cover up a section of sewer. It is said that City Manager Steward objected to granting the request of the church for that reason. Trustee Stock also opposed moving the alley on the ground that it would establish a precedent that might cause the board considerable trouble hereafter. It was decided to take no further action until the public improvements committee confer with the church board. Captain Henry also presented another complaint against the church, and asked the trustees to stake some action. On Sundays, he said, during the services at the temple, autos were so densely parked about his residence on Broadway and Philadelphia street that is was impossible for a car to reach his curbing. He believed this could be remedied. The public improvements committee also undertook to investigate this matter. The men who own the parking station opposite the California theatre, appeared before the board and asked permission to re-open the entrance on Center street. The board recently ordered this gateway closed, leaving only an entrance on Oak street. The business has practically been ruined by the closing of the Center street driveway. The complaint will be considered after an investigation. JUDGE EMMET SEAWELL PAYS VISIT TO ANAHEIM Candidate for the Supreme Bench in Town Friday. Judge Emmett Seawell, of Santa Rosa, candidate for associate justice of the supreme court of California, was in town Friday making the acquaintance of the voters. T. L. McFadden took him in charge on his arrival here and piloted him about the city. Judge Seawell has had twenty years experience on the superior bench, and is eminently qualified to hold a position as associate justice. He was formerly a newspaper man, having begun his career as a printer's devil. He finally studied law, was admitted to the bar, elected district attorney and then judge of the superior court, which position he has held for as a subterfuge; third, the persons or companies doing business under the corporate seal of a bank or trust company. As to the last class, we are not jealous of the bank or trust company, but the people are lead to believe that because certain financial institutions issue a security under their corporate seal, that such institutions pledge assets as a guaranty of the oil promotion project. This they specifically cannot do. We are, therefore, endeavoring to obtain the aid of the banks, trust companies and proper state authorities to prevent further operations under this method. "The state corporation department is the only state department equipped with engineers, auditors, attorneys and investigators to in any measure determine whether or not an oil project is just, fair and equitable. Furthermore, the framers of the corporate securities act had in mind the protection of the investing public from stock selling schemes. "The state corporation department cannot guarantee any promotion to which it issued a permit, but it is its function, and it does require, first, the impounding of a sufficient amount of money to insure the investor a 'run for his money'; second, that the promoters will not be able to dispose of their promotion stock until the company has complied with the provisions of the law. During the past three months a field investigating division has been established and from now on the state corporation department will take cognizance and watch closely the operation of 'outlaw' companies."

The board recently ordered this gateway closed, leaving only an entrance on Oak street. The business has practically been ruined by the closing of the Center street driveway. The complaint will be considered after an investigation. Mrs. A. F. Fellows petitioned for a change in the garage zone ordinance in order to permit the establishment of a machine shop in her new building on North Clementine street. The building has been leased to H. W. Stanley, but his business has been held up awaiting permission to open, and the room is vacant. J. J. Schneider, whose residence is close by, objected to the establishment of the business in that locality. The board deferred action until the next meeting. WAR ON OUTLAW COMPANIES A campaign to rid California of fraudulent oil promotion was opened, according to an announcement from the state corporation department. In the first thirty-five of the hundred or more companies under investigation by this department, it was disclosed that $7,080,000 has been collected from the investing public within the state of California in the past twelve months. Less than $25,000 has been paid in dividends to these investors. There is every indication, according to the department, that during the next twelve months the same investors will receive less than $2000 in dividends. "The war declared by this department on 'outlaw' oil companies need not worry the legitimate promoters," ORANGETHORPE LAND DEAL Involving a consideration of $52,500, the Villa Park Land syndicate has in escrow papers passing title to fifteen acres on West Orangethorpe avenue, to W. H. Kidd, contractor, of Anaheim. The syndicate owned thirty acres, acquired about four months ago from T. H. Hobbs, of Texas, and is selling half of the tract. It is said that the sales price of the fifteen acres is at a substantial advance over what was paid by the syndicate for property. The Villa Park Land syndicate is composed of a group of Orange and Santa Ana men who have been active in the past two years in buying and selling improved orchards. The group recently purchased what is known as the Redlands university property, situated at Villa Park. THE COUNTY With declaration of a small pearl Talbert boulevard, six inches wide and in the whole 168 m² way in the county, perintendent of co-effect, issued a childents of highways of the state to show obtained in Orange. The assertion was tion with the annex pair of the highway been completed and ing situation that o f the rainy season overcome: "At the close o AHEIM GAZETY Anaheim, California, Thursday, August 3, 1922 ORANGE THIEVES MUST PAY THE PENALTY STEPS TAKEN TOWARD THE PROTECTION OF ORCHARDS IN COUNTY Highways Hereafter Will Be Patrolled By Officers Day and Night—The Tourist Who Plucks Fruit to Satisfy His Appetite Will Pay a Fine, the Thief Who Steals Oranges for Profit Will Go to Jail—Thousands Lost to Growers. Tourists from the east who have been accustomed to find the welcome sign hung out on every orchard, and are privileged to stop an pluck fruit whenever their appetites demand it, apparently have been laboring under the impression that this privilege extended to the orange groves of California. At any rate they have been indiscriminately helping themselves to the golden Valencias burdening the trees along highways in the county, ap- there were many breaks in the highway system in all parts of the county and the situation was very discouraging," said McBride. "I placed four repair gangs at work at first, reducing later to three. "The repair work has just been completed and I believe I am safe in saying that in no section of the county highways will one find a hole six inches wide and four inches deep, except in a small section of the Talbert boulevard, west of the river. This will be rebuilt soon. "I am told by road men and others who travel over the state that the improved highways of Orange county are in the best condition of any system in the state. "Michael Halean, a representative of Brown & Bevis, machinery supply firm of Los Angeles, was in my office last week and made the voluntary declaration that the system in this county is in the best repair of any system in the territory in which he travels. His duties take him to all sections of southern California. "I believe that we have demonstrated that three repair gangs can keep the highways patched and in good condition, and at far less cost than through other methods that have been recommended." FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN JOHNSON SPEAKS BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCE GRAND THEATRE COMFORTABLY FILLED WITH THE SENATOR'S SUPPORTERS Great Procession of Automobiles Meets Him at Capistrano and Escorts Him Through the County—Introduced to Anaheim Audience By Hans Weisel—Senator Tells of His Work in the Senate and Pays Tribute to Congressman Swing. Senator Hiram W. Johnson, in his campaign throughout the state, devoted Monday to Orange county, speaking in all the principal towns. He came up from San Diego morning and was met at San Juan Capistrano, the southern gateway of the county, by a large delegation of his ardent supporters. This delegation acted as his escort throughout the county, taking him first to Huntington Beach, where he spoke just before Tourists from the east who have been accustomed to find the welcome sign hung out on every orchard, and are privileged to stop an pluck fruit whenever their appetites demand it, apparently have been laboring under the impression that this privilege extended to the orange groves of California. At any rate they have been indiscriminately helping themselves to the golden Valenclas burdening the trees along highways in the county, apparently unconscious of the indignation and aggravation of the owners. It appears they fail to realize there is a difference in the value of apples at fifty cents a bushel in Michigan, and oranges at five cents per each in California. Then again, where one auto load of travelers strays along the highway in the apple country of the middle west, there are a hundred passing on the boulevards of California, and as a vast majority of these motorists come from the section where oranges are only found in the market, they naturally have a desire to pluck the ball of gold from its native branch and devour it fresh from the tree. The growers of this section are not churlish or selfish, but when this practice is carried to such an extent that the rows of trees bordering the highway are entirely denuded of their fruit, they think it time to take action for their own protection. Thousands of dollars' worth of oranges are taken from the trees in Orange county every year, and the loss is steadily increasing, therefore the growers have appealed to Sheriff Jackson for protection. There is another class of persons who rob the orchards that the growers have to contend with. These are thieves who go to the groves in the dead of night with sacks and ladders, and carry away the fruit for profit. These thieves are mostly Mexicans—at least the Mexicans get all the credit—and they carry away the fruit by the wagon load. This individual makes a business of his thievery and sells what he steals, whereas the tourist only takes enough of appease his appetite. It is proposed to fine each tourist found guilty of raiding a grove $25, just to impress him and others with the fact that oranges are not grown for free distribution, and to give the professional thief a long jail sentence. A plan was outlined, whereby special deputy sheriffs will patrol the citrus districts at night to guard against depredations. The growers themselves is in the best repair of any system in the territory in which he travels. His duties take him to all sections of southern California. "I believe that we have demonstrated that three repair gangs can keep the highways patched and in good condition, and at far less cost than through other methods that have been recommended." FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN The directors of the Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange county, at their semi-monthly meeting listened to a very interesting report of the investigating committee, on their work since the board's last meeting. Several cases are now under treatment and more have been reported which are being investigated at this time. The report of the finance committee that the association funds were a little low was not so encouraging, but they also reported that subscriptions were coming in so that treatment of the cases now on hand was practically assured. One little fellow, who was not only afflicted with claustro feet, but his feet were turned over so that he walked on his ankles, has been treated by the association and is fast regaining the normal shape of his limbs. His limbs which are withered and shrunk in their abnormal condition are fast filling out, and it now bothers some of the other youngsters in his neighborhood to keep up with him in a race. At first the child and his parents objected to having this treatment performed but now as they see the results, they are more than pleased, and the expression of gratitude, on our visits, makes one feel as though no sacrifice was too great to keep one from doing this relief work. Please rest assured that no matter how large or small your contribution to the Crippled Children's Relief association, of Orange county, it will be properly disbursed. Mrs. Emanuel Smith or Mrs. Lottle E. Morse, of sullerton, Mrs. Thomas L. McFadden, of Placentia, or Mrs. M. E. Canby, secretary, of Anaheim, will be very glad to receive your subscriptions, or give any desired information concerning this association. TALBERT IS PRESIDENT OF STATE ASSOCIATION Chairman Orange County Board Honored at State Convention Senator Hiram W. Johnson, in his campaign throughout the state, devoted Monday to Orange county, speaking in all the principal towns. He came up from San Diego Monday morning and was met at San Juan Capistrano, the southern gateway of the county, by a large delegation of his ardent supporters. This delegation acted as his escort throughout the county, taking him first to Huntington Beach, where he spoke just before noon, and where the party lunched. From Huntington Beach the party jumped to Orange, and from Orange to Anaheim. The Grand theatre and the Anaheim municipal band had been engaged by the Johnson-for-Senator club, and when the senatorial party arrived here from Orange at 3:30, the theatre was comfortably filled. City Attorney H. V. Weisel, a personal friend of the senator, who represented Orange county in the legislature when Johnson was governor, acted as chairman of the meeting, with Mayor Stark, O. T. Callor and Oscar Conklin also on the platform. Weisel made a neat little speech introducing the senator to the large audience. Johnson spoke for half an hour, touching chiefly on the doing of the senate. He told of the fight California representatives had made for adequate protection of the state's products in the pending tariff bill. New York importers; he said, fought desperately against a tariff on citrus fruit and walnuts, but in the bill recommended by the senate committee, California is the best protected state in the union. He spoke in high praise of Congressman Swing, and gave him the chief credit for the Boulder dam project. The senator characterized this as the greatest and most important measure before congress within the history of the present generation of men. It will supply irrigating water for a million acres of land, and will furnish six times as much power as Niagara now furnishes. The senator congratulated himself for assisting to defeat ratification of the Versailles treaty, then touched upon his attitude on the four-power pact. He fought ratification of the pact, he said, because he was opposed to entering into an alliance with Great Britain. This statement brought forth prolonged applause. He fought the four-power pact, he declared, because he was opposed to the United States entering into an alliance with half of its ordered for instance.

It is proposed to fine each tourist found guilty of raiding a grove $25, just to impress him and others with the fact that oranges are not grown for free distribution, and to give the professional thief a long jail sentence. A plan was outlined, whereby special deputy sheriffs will patrol the citrus districts at night to guard against depredations. The growers themselves bear the burden of the expense involved, which is expected to be slight, inasmuch as members of the exchange will themselves take turns on patrol duty, with authority to make arrests whenever a thief is found. "We expect to proceed vigorously against thieves," Jackson declared. "Anyone found taking oranges will be severely dealt with. This applies to everybody, whether professional thief or not. The practice must stop and we expect to co-operate with the growers to the fullest extent in seeing that it is stopped." THE COUNTY'S ROADS With declarations that with the exception of a small piece of road on the Talbert boulevard, there is not a hole six inches wide and four inches deep in the whole 168 miles of paved highway in the county, J. L. McBride, superintendent of county highways, in effect, issued a challenge to superintendents of highways in other counties of the state to show better roads than obtained in Orange county. The assertion was made in connection with the announcement that repair of the highways had virtually been completed and that a discouraging situation that obtained at the close of the rainy season had been met and overcome: "At the close of the winter rains, E. Morse, of sullerton, Mrs. Thomas L. McFadden, of Placentia, or Mrs. M. E. Canby, secretary, of Anaheim, will be very glad to receive your subscriptions, or give any desired information concerning this association. T. B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors, was elected president of the state supervisors' association at the annual convention of that organization at Eureka. Talbert, who is one of the most prominent men in the county, is now serving his third term as a supervisor. He was first appointed to fill the unexpired term of George Moore, of Winterburg, resigned, and was re-elected the following and the present term. Friends of Talbert look upon his election as president of the state association, composed of the supervisors of California counties, as a signal honor not only to himself, but also to the entire county. Sacramento was selected as the 1923 convention city. Besides Talbert, Supervisors S. H. Finley, N. T. Edwards and H. W. Wasum are attending the convention from Orange county. Peter Allec was adjudged undisputed owner with clear title to 4 1/2 acres in the Kraemer tract, near Placentia, in a filed document Friday, containing the findings and conclusions of Superior Judge Z. B. West, who presided at a recent hearing of Allec's suit against Earl A. Holcomb. TALBERT IS PRESIDENT OF STATE ASSOCIATION Chairman Orange County Board Honored at State Convention T. B.

"There is no doubt that the campaign inaugurated by the Kiwanis club is having a beneficial effect in making the highways safer. "This fact has been commented on by many men and women who drive the roads and who say that they have noticed since the drive started that flagrant violations of the rules of the road are far less than they were before activities of the vigilantes were begun." ORDER 35 TO ACT AS TRIAL JURORS Thirty-five veniremen, scheduled to serve on the trial jury of the Orange county superior court during the last half of the present year, have been ordered to report Augsut 14 at 10 a.m. for instructions regarding their duties.

TRUCKMAN ORGANIZE Owners of light and heavy trucks in Orange county met at Santa Ana on Tuesday evening for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization. The object is to help Orange county producers, business firms and individuals to solve transportation problems; to conduct a scientific investigation of highway use and construction; and to work to obtain a uniform weight law throughout the state which would be fair and equitable to both taxpayer and truck user. It was pointed out by one of the speakers that should the proposed 15-000-pound emergency weight limit be made a law in Orange county, it would result in increasing the already high living cost to every family that uses groceries, fresh meats, ice, fruits, vegetables, and other everyday necessities, by increasing wholesale as well as retail delivery charges to the high freight rates of steam and electric railroad charges. These deliveries are now nearly all mode by trucks daily.

THREE ACCUSED OF MURDER A charge of murder，filed against Daniel Lieva，Everett Nava and Jesu Carabaji Thursday represented the culmination of an investigation by the sheriff's office into the death of Estabal Saidna，46 whose body was discovered after it had been struck by a Pacific Electric car between Fullerton and La Habra July 16. The three Meycars，who were arrested on suspicion，following the inquiry over Saidanna，were arraigned late Wednesday on the murder charge.Justice of the Peace J.B.Cox set their preliminary hearing for August 24 at GAS PRICE REDUCED Industrial plants or Orange county that use natural gas supplied by the Southern Counties Gas company will save approximately $75,000 annually under the new schedule announcel as having been agreed on by the company and the railroad commission, according to an estimate made by J. C. Hayden, local district manager for the gas company. The decrease does not apply to domestic gas and there is little probability that the price on this service will be reduced, in the opinion of Hayden. Hayden says that the new rate is a saving of approximately 5 cents per 1000 feet of gas consumed by industrial and commercial users. He points out that the new schedule places the rates where they were in 1917, when a nadance was made to commercial concerns. In substantiation of his belief that there is little possibility of prices for domestic gas being reduced, Hayden declared that the Southern Counties is the only company serving Orange county that since 1917 has not advanced prices or commodities supplied to the general public. While he had not received definite instructions from the main office as to when the new schedule for commercial consumption would be effective, Hayden assumed that it was operative on August meter readings. It has been indicated that a fight may be made in southern California to secure a lower rate at some points for domestic gas. Carabala Thursday represented the culmination of an investigation by the sheriff's office into the death of Estabal Saldanna. 46 whose body was discovered after it had been struck by a Pacific Electric car between Fullerton and Ia Habra July 16. The three Meycars, who were arrested on suspicion, following the inquest over Saldanna, were arraigned late Wednesday on the murder charge. Justice of the Peace J. B. Cox set their preliminary hearing for August 24 at 10 a.m. and committed the defendants to jail without privilege of bail. The authorities have signified that they had obtained sufficient evidence to justify the accusation that the three men in custody conspired to murder Saldanna and place his body on the car tracks, hoping that the crime would be hidden under the guise of an accidental death beneath the car wheels. That they were seen drinking with Saldanna earlier on the day his body was found, discovery of a knife near the body, and statements that the body was cold when picked up by the trainmen, were circumstances that led to an investigation and the formal filing of charges. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton and Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Amack have returned from a three months' trip through the east. They left here to attend commencement at Annapolis naval academy, Ensign Dale Quarton being one of the graduates. Out of a class of more than 300 Dale was rated among the highest in the class, standing close to the top. The warship to which he was assigned on his graduation was sent to the Pacific and is now at Seattle. Within few weeks it will go to San Francisco, and Ensign Quarton will secure leave of absence and visit his home in Anaheim.
