VOLUME LII G.O.P. CONTROLS BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS SOME LEADERS DEFEATED TUESDAY, BUT PARTY HAS SAFE MAJORITY Richardson Elected Governor by Hundred Thousand Majority, and Senator Johnson Sweeps State by at Least 200,000—Only Two Democrats Elected to Congress in State—Wright Prohibition Law Carries—Race for Sheriff in Orange County Close. Contrary to all precedents, the party in power at Washington has retained control of both houses of congress in an off year. This is indicated by the returns from Tuesday's election. Some of the leaders have been defeated and the heavy majority in both houses of congress has been SERVICE STATION ROBBED Authorities are without trace, they said, of a trio of masked bandits who late Saturday night held up and robbed J. R. Baumstark, proprietor of a service station at the corner of Lincoln avenue and Los Alamitos road near Anaheim, of $30 in cash and $60 in checks. Six deputy sheriffs from Los Angeles county, the constable of Artesia and Anaheim officers spent all Saturday night and Sunday in a fruitless search for the robbers. According to Baumstark, the trio ranging in ages from 21 to 30 years came to his station at 9 o'clock. One of them sat at the wheel of the small touring car they drove, another stood at its side, and the third followed Baumstark into the station presumably to get change for a $5 bill they had tendered. Becoming suspicious of the man who followed him into the front part of the station, Baumstark said that he proceeded into a back room and obtained his revolver. With his weapon in his hip pocket he returned, only to find that the bandit had "stuck up" his wife, and two guests from Long Beach who had remained in the front part of the station.

Un Contrary to all precedents, the party in power at Washington has retained control of both houses of congress in an off year. This is indicated by the returns from Tuesday's election. Some of the leaders have been defeated and the heavy majority in both houses of congress has been pared down, but the Republicans will have a safe working lead in both the senate and house. Although the race is close in Massachusetts, Senator Lodge appears to have been defeated. Senator Frelinghensen, President Harding's most intimate friend, was defeated in New Jersey by Gov. Edward I. Edwards, and Jim Reed was returned in Missouri. In both New Jersey and Missouri the chief issue was modification of the Volstead law, and both opponents of the law were elected by good majorities. Beveridge, Progressive Republican, was defeated in Indiana and in Ohio Pomerene and Fess are running neck and neck for the senate Hitchcock, Democrat, who led Wilson's fight for the league of nations in the senate, is defeated. Senator Calder was defeated in New York by a Democrat. The Republicans have swept all the other states above Mason & Dixon's line by substantial majorities. Although definite returns are slow in coming in, owing to the long ballot, it is evident that the G. O. P. has carried California by a heavy majority. Richardson has defeated Woolwine by at least 100,000 for governor and Senator Johnson's majority over Pearson will pass 200,000, it is estimated. The Democrats have elected two of the eleven congressmen—Leea and Raker in the north, but neither of these candidates had opposition. The soldiers' relief bills all carried by large majorities, as did also the chiropractor and osteopath measures The Wright act appears to have carried and the water and power initiative was overwhelmingly defeated. About sixty per cent of the registered vote was cast in Anaheim, and there were few surprises in the count Richardson and Johnson had a two-to-one vote over their opponents. George Bauer, socialist candidate for congress, made a good showing here polling about 15 per cent of the vote Dr. C. D. Ball, for assembly, ran far ahead of his Democratic opponent. Becoming suspicious of the man who followed him into the front part of the station, Baumstark said that he proceeded into a back room and obtained his revolver. With his weapon in his hip pocket he returned, only to find that the bandit had "stuck up" his wife, and two guests from Long Beach who had remained in the front part of the station. Powerless, Baumstark stood by as the bandit rifled the cash register. He made no effort to "frisk" the occupants of the room. Backing from the station, the bandit reached the car and made his get away with his fellows. Baumstark immediately notified Los Angeles authorities. PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION Following is the proclamation of President Harding naming Thursday November 30, as Thanksgiving day: "In the beginning of our country the custom was established by the devout fathers of observing annually a day of thanksgiving for the bounties and protection which Divine Providence had extended throughout the year. It has come to be perhaps the most characteristic of our national observances and as the season approaches for its annual recurrence, it is fitting formally to direct attention to this ancient institution of our people and to call upon them again to unite in its appropriate celebration. "The year which now approaches its end has been marked in the experience of our nation, by a complexity of trials and triumphs, of difficulties and of achievements, which we must regard as our inevitable portion in such effort as that through which all mankind is moving. As we survey the experience of the passing twelve months we shall find that our estate presents very much to justify a nationwide and most sincere testimony of gratitude for the bounty which has been bestowed upon us. "Though we have lived in the shadow of the land of consequences of great conflict, our country has been at peace and has been able to contribute toward the maintenance and perpetuation of peace in the world. We have seen the race of mankind make gratifying progress on the way to perma-nent peace, toward order and restored confidence in its high destines.

Ball, for assembly, ran far ahead of his Democratic opponent Sheriff Jackson led Sam Jernigan here by a good majority. At noon yesterday 104 precincts in the county had been tabulated, showing that Richardson, for governor, received 10,759 votes, and Woolwine 3024. For senator, Johnson had 7710 and Pearson 3191. Sam Jernigan was leading C. E. Jackson by 296 votes, and the indications are that he is elected. Dr. C. D. Ball was elected to the assembly by a landslide. All the other county officials were elected at the primary and had no opposition. CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR HAMLER David M. Hamler, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Hamler, of this city, lost his life in the ocean four years ago but won a gold medal for bravery. On Sept. 22, 1918, Hamler swam to the rescue of Frederick Lieber, who had been thrown into the water from a capsized boat at Anaheim Landing, Lieber was saved but Hamler sank and was drowned, either from exhaustion or cramps.. His body was recovered the next day, having been washed ashore by the breakers. Last week Mrs. Mabel Hamler, his widow, received a medal from the Carnegie hero commission in recognition of his bravery. She also receives $70 per month from the commission, with $5 a month extra for her little daughter. Though we have lived in the shadow of the land of consequences of great conflict, our country has been at peace and has been able to contribute toward the maintenance and perpetuation of peace in the world. We have seen the race of mankind make gratifying progress on the way to perma-nent peace, toward order and restored confidence in its high destines. "For the divine guidance which has enabled us, in growing fraternity with other peoples, to obtain so much of progress; for the bounteous yield which has come to us from the resources of our toil and our industry we owe our tribute of gratitude and with it owe acknowledgement of the duty and obligation to our own people and to the unfortunate, the suffering, the distracted of other lands let us in all humanity acknowledge how great is our debt to the Providence which has generously dealt with us and give devout assurance of unsellish purpose to play helpful and enobling parts in human advancement It is much to be desired that in rendering homage for the blessings which have come to us, we should earnestly testify to our continued and increasing aim to make our own great fortune a means of helping and serving as best we can, the cause of all hu-manity. "Now, therefore, I, Warren G. Harding, president of the United States of America, do designate Thursday, the thirtieth day of November, as a day of thanksgiving, supplication and devotion. I recommend that the people gather at their family altars and in their houses of worship to render thanks to God for the bounties they have enjoyed and to petition that these may be continued in the year before us.

A delegation from the Kiwanis club and the board of directors Anaheim people are making preparations to trek over to Fullerton in a body Saturday to participate in or witness the big Armistice Day pageant. According to the American Legion committee in charge this celebration will far exceed the two former—at Santa Ana last year and Anaheim two years ago. Up to Monday evening 323 floats and decorated autos had been entered for the parade, and many others were expected to be listed before the closing of the entry date Wednesday evening. The city officials, the Chamber of Commerce, the American Legion, civic bodies and business houses of Anaheim have places in the pageant. This city will have a large representation, and it is expected a number of the cups will be brought here. Every city in the county will have its delegation in the procession, which will be at least five miles in length. Former Secretary of the Treasury W. G. McAdoo will head the procession, being a guest of the county council of the Legion that day. In the afternoon he will make a speech to the veterans on the high school campus. Thousands of dollars have been expended throughout the county by scores of organizations in their efforts to capture at least one of the fifteen handsome silver loving cups to be awarded to winners in each of the divisions. The parade will move promptly at 10:30 a.m. from the corner of Commonwealth and Lawrence avenues, and will continue until the last of the floats have passed the reviewing stand at Spadra and Wilshire several hours later.

B. Cox has issued an ultimatum. Hereafter, small claims court collection cases will be held in night sessions, only, or rather, in early morning sessions. The venerable judge has established three o'clock in the morning as the hour at which principals in such cases must be present if they would lay their troubles before him. From now on, agencies seeking to use the small claims court to collect their business bills will sing with much feeling that timely and popular song. "Three o'Clock in the Mornin," according to Justice Cox. "I can get here," said the judge, "I don't need much sleep." By starting early in this way we can get through with these affairs before the regular business of the county begins. I have enough regular work to keep me busy in the day time without acting as a free collection agency for full grown businesses and any case of that kind will be set for a night court to start at three o'clock Transfusion of Blood Failed to Arrest the Disease—Busy Life Ends at an Early Age. Funeral services for George M. Ross who died at his home on South Claulina street Wednesday morning, were held at Backs, Terry and Campbell's chapel at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church, conducting the services. A delegation from the Kiwanis club and the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce attended the services. All the members of the Anaheim realty board closed their offices Friday afternoon out of respect to his memory, and in order to give the members an opportunity to attend the funeral. Mr. Ross had been ill for several months, his disease being pernicious anemia. Nothing the physicians could do was able to check the ravages of the disease. Transfusion of blood was resorted to, and arrangements were making to further extend this treatment. Several members of the Rotary club had volunteered to sacrifice a quantity of blood in the hope of prolonging his life, but the end came suddenly Wednesday morning before the operation was performed. Mr. Ross had been a resident of Anaheim nineteen years, and has for many years been active in the city's business affairs. He was a member of the Orange County Realty company and was also secretary and manager of the Walnut Growers' association. He has also served as a director of the Chamber of Commerce, and was one of the leaders in staging the first Valencia orange show. For many years he has been prominent in working for the advancement of the city. Mr. Ross was born in Kansas 43 years ago. Before coming to California he lived for a time in Arizona but he came to Anaheim in 1903. Several years ago he was married to Miss Marian Johnston, haughtier of Mrs. Jeannette Johnston, and sister of Dr. H. A. Johnston. He is survived by his widow and one son, Donald, also by his parents. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ross, and two brothers, W. J. Ross and Lloyd Ross. A large number of friends attended the services at the chapel Friday afternoon to pay their respects to the memory of a man who was esteemed by the entire community, and who was cut off at an early age, in the midst of an active life. The remains were interred at Loma Vista cemetery. Entries from the first division are as follows, with E. J. Marks, the chief: Two motorcycle officers leading, marshal of the day, Col. Finley and his aide, Col.

I have enough regular work to keep me busy in the day time without acting as a free collection agency for full grown businesses and any case of that kind will be set for a night court to start at three o'clock in the morning." BOOSTS ANAHEIM The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has just received a copy of The California Illustrated Review, southern California edition, which runs over 500,000 copies and is being circulated all over the world. E. G. Lewis, promoter of the Palos Verdes project, is transferring his great rotogravure plant at Atascadero to the use of this great monthly, of which the present is the first issue It is devoted to Greater Southern California, and contains besides half page write-ups with illustrations, of a few of the foremost cities in the southland. Anaheim occupies a top half page with four illustrations: Elks' club entrance, high school, business street scene and one of the features from the last California Valencia orange show. The local illustrations are marvels of re-production, and may be seen later in the week, in the window of the Golden State National Bank The article accompanying the illustrations was compiled by the local secretary, and the cost of the work and publication does not exceed the amount paid for the taking of the photos and the cost of the negatives a truly remarkable investment on the part of the Anaheim district and one which merits the hearty thanks to the generous donor, E. G. Lewis. Holding that there is a general rule in law that violators of any state law may be taken before any justice of the peace in the county, District Attorney A. P. Nelson said that handling of violators of traffic regulations would continue as it has in the past, despite the fact that Judge Shenk, of the Los Angeles superior court, handed down an opinion that speeding cases should be tried in the justice court of the township in which the violators occurred. Judge Shenk rendered the decision in reversing the judgment of Justice Follett, of Los Angeles, in imposing a fine of $100 and jail sentence of twenty days on a man who had been convicted of speeding at a point out side of Los Angeles township. "The decision of Judge Shenk will in no way effect a change in my court," said Justice J. B. Cox. District Attorney Nelson pointed out that most of the traffic violators are brought into the Santa Ana justice court because of the fact that it is M.

"A definite day in each week has been set aside in Judge Cox's court for hearing such cases and this makes it easy for motorcycle officers to notify arrested persons and witnesses who may be needed as to the date when they should appear in the local justice court," said the district attorney. Concerning the point raised in Judge Shenk's decision, Nelson said that a defendant in a traffic violation case has a right to ask for trial in the justice court in the township in which his infraction of the law is made. BOY SCOUT NEWS At least five hundred scouts of Orange county will participate in the Armistice Day parade to be held in Fullerton Saturday, according to announcement from scout headquarters. Every troop in the county is planning to have representatives in the parade and very nearly every troop is planning to have one hundred per cent attendance.

Every troop in the county is planning to have representatives in the parade and very nearly every troop is planning to have one hundred per cent attendance. The scout division will be headed by a band which is to be furnished by the Armistice Day committee. The troop making the best showing for the day will be given a large loving cup to be awarded by the Kiwanis club of Fullerton. The offering of this cup has brought about keen rivalry from every point of the county, and many troops have been adding flags and uniforms to their equipment so as to present a good showing that day. The Boy Scout division will be known as the fourth division and will be in charge of Victor E. Teaney, assistant scout executive. D. Eyman Huff, president of the Orange county council, sent a message to the scouts of Orange county through their weekly bulletin urging that every scout be present in the Armistice Day celebration in memory of the victory our soldiers brought to us four years ago. The scoutmasters of Orange county will meet in their monthly session which is to be part social and part training, Monday evening, Nov. 13, in the headquarters of troop No. 1 of Orange. This meeting is held for scoutmasters, assistant scoutmasters, and troop committeemen. The last one was held in Anaheim and was attended by nearly forty men. It is expected that this one will be attended by at least sixty men who are actively engaged in scout work throughout the county. President D. Eyman Huff has called a meeting of its executive board to be held in the office of the scout executive Monday afternoon at 4 p.m., at which time many questions of importance will be discussed in planning the advancement of scouting throughout Orange county during the coming year. The camping and activities committee, headed by Dr. M. A. Patton, has a meeting scheduled for Wednesday evening, at which time final plans will be worked out for the efficiency contest among all the troops of Orange county, which will start soon. The Huntington Beach committee met on Tuesday evening for the purpose of planning their program to in. Following the announcement of three burglaries last week coupled with the statement that each house robbed was branded with the word "Tex" chalked up on the door jam just below the bell created a mild sensation in a score or more of households where the mysterious sign was found. It was believed by many that "Tex" was the nom de plume of a gentlemanly burglar who went about town writing his sign on the houses he intended to burgle, as a polite notification to the inmates of the house that he intended paying them a midnight visit. When it became known that the Tremer house on West Center street, Lee Elcholtz's residence at Clementine and Chartres, and the Henry Seimers home on Ohio street had been burglarized, and the mysterious "Tex" was chalked on each of them the entire population of the city went outside and inspected the front door jam. When several dozen people discovered the sign on their houses there was consternation in several dozen houses, and each and every person fully expected a visit from "Tex" the following night, and demanded that he be forthwith captured and placed behind the bars. Then came reports that the same caballistic sign had appeared on doors at Orange and Santa Ana, the county seat town being almost as liberally decorated as Anaheim. At Santa Ana however, the mystery was solved. A young man confessed to the authorities that he and a partner were canvassing for the sale of Texas oil stock and in order to avoid working the same house they had adopted the plan of leaving a sign on the door jam of each house visited. The mark had no connection with the burglaries. The burglaries made a pretty good haul Wednesday at the Elcholtz and Seimers homes, but only money and jewelry was taken. At the Elcholtz place they carried away $150 worth of stuff, and at Seimers' loot amounted to about $100. Both burglaries were pulled off early in the evening when the families were absent. week goes by without some attorney appearing in court and demanding that some case in which he is interested be tried at once. Here is a sample of what is report ed as occurring almost every Friday of friends attended the chapel Friday afternoon respects to the man who was esteemed county, and who was age in the midst of interred at Loma were: Active, M. Tranft, L. E. Miller, M. Wickett and A. Samuel Kreamer Dr. W. M. Chamley, Dr. W. M. Cole The Huntington Beach committee met on Tuesday evening for the purpose of planning their program to include a larger number of boys. Anaheim troop No. 1 troop committee meets on Wednesday evening at the office of Dr. J. A. Waters, at which time they will discuss many items of interest to their troop. Costa Mesa troop No. 1 is planning a community meeting for all the citizens of that community for Friday evening, November 10. A large number is expected at that time. Movement has started in Seal Beach for a new troop which is to be under the direction of a group of citizens there. There are approximately thirty boys of scout age and all of them are planning to become members of the troop as soon as it is formally established. WANT ANOTHER JUDGE Within a year, Orange county may have a third superior judge. That the next legislature will be asked to provide this county with a third judge, was declared likely. The declaration was made by attorneys and others who are familiar with the situation at the court house. The courts are congested, say the attorneys; they have more than they can do. Court records examined showed that the two departments of the superior court are setting cases now as far ahead as March and April. Calendars are filled up to that time. Not a jewelry was taken. At the Elcholtz place they carried away $150 worth of stuff, and at Selmers' the loot amounted to about $100. Both burglaries were pulled off early in the evening when the families were absent. week goes by without some attorney appearing in court and demanding that some case in which he is interested be tried at once. Here is a sample of what is reported as occurring almost every Friday morning on what is called law and motion day: "Your honor, we would like to dispose of this case," says an attorney "Both sides are ready for trial, and have been for some time. We are anxious to reach a settlement." Whereupon, the superior judge turns to his calendar, examines it, and announces: "The first dates open are March 27 and April 15. Cases are set clear up to March 27. You may have that date, or April 15 or some time in May." It was declared that court records show that the two superior court judges, Z. B. West, of Department No. 1, and R. Y. Williams, of Department No. 2, are each handling more business than was handled by both of the superior judges during the first year the county had two judges. With this situation presented by attorneys, it seems likely that the Orange County Bar association will be called on within the next two months to consider the plan. The new garage building to be erected at Anaheim for Dale and company Packard and Reo agents, will be a two-story structure, it was announced following the decision to change the plans. The structure will cost approximately $25,000. The larger building will be provided to house auto body building and painting departments.
