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 BURGLARS MAKE BIG HAUL While the proprietor of the establishment watched from the rear of the store, a burglar, believed to have been "The Snake," whose depredations have brought about a total loss of more than $9000 during the past five days, shattered a plate glass window at the store of James, the Jeweler, West Fourth street, Santa Ana, at 12:40 a.m. Tuesday, gathered up jewelry worth $2000 and made his escape, according to police reports. J. A. James, the proprietor, lives at the rear of the store. About 12:40 a.m. he heard a crash, but thinking that a vase had fallen, for the moment he disregarded the incident, made his way slowly to the rear of the store. As he gained a view of the store window, he saw a young man, with a dark overcoat and a light hat, kneeling on the pavement, and reaching in to remove the jewelry in the window. The man was frightened away when James shouted. Although a definite list of the stolen articles was not available, it was said to include a $200 watch, seven diamond rings, eight gold knives, pearls and other valuable bits of jewelry. A piece of pipe, five feet long and safe robbers in that city within three months. With deputy sheriffs investigating various clues seeking the expert robbers, storekeepers are re-checking their losses to get exact amounts of the loot obtained in the most daring haul believed to have taken place Saturday night after the close of the Saturday business. Daniels grocery store, 122 North Glassell street, Orange, was the heaviest loser. A total of $1346 was taken in the haul from this place. At the Dewey & Hessek grocery store, 208 East Chapman street, $600 in liberty bonds and $125 in war savings stamps were taken. T. L. Faris, feed store, Olive street, was the loser of $200 of which $150 was in saving stamps. THE COAST HIGHWAY The first step toward the construction of the state coast highway from Newport Beach to Laguna Beach has been taken by the state highway commission. This step consists of arrangements for making a fill across Newport bay tidelands. This information was given out by State Highway Commissioner N. T. Edwards, of Orange. "The division engineer has been instructed to set stakes for the fill," said Edwards. "The fill will be made from the edge of the Newport bay channel east of the Orange County Country club access the tidelands to the road now on the southeast side of the bay lowlands. The county is to build a bridge across the arm of the bay." Edwards said that he is hoping to hasten the time when the commission can let a contract for grading the coast highway from Huntington Beach to Serra. He said that at this time funds will not be available for paving, but that the grading can be done, so will have to be carried already given the budget, this action. The adjustments get of the state department included the self-supporting fund been reduced by continued probability appropriation placed upon them, prevents being made. The item is to be rested with but a slight rise grain and warehouse talling $24,285, and gardens vacuum funnel of $8760, also have promised.

As he gained a view of the store window, he saw a young man, with a dark overcoat and a light hat, kneeling on the pavement, and reaching in to remove the jewelry in the window. The man was frightened away when James shouted. Although a definite list of the stolen articles was not available, it was said to include a $200 watch, seven diamond rings, eight gold knives, pearls and other valuable bits of jewelry. A piece of pipe, five feet long and one-half inch in diameter, found outside the store, was believed to have been used by the burglar in breaking the glass. Police Officers Barnard and Howell investigated at once. Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel, finger print expert, and Constable Jesse Elliott searched for clues. Considerable difficulty was experienced by Zabel in securing clear prints due to the fact that curious spectators had taken it on themselves to handle articles left behind. "We are hampered greatly by persons who leave their fingerprints on articles touched by ythe burglar," Zabel said. "Not only is it annoying to us, but it might be embarrassing to them, when the prints are photographed." "Officers should be notified immediately after a crime, and others should be kept away." The window and the jewelry were not covered by insurance, James stated. LADIES STILL DEMAND HOME DEMONSTRATOR Seeking several hundred signatures to a petition to the board of supervisors, women leaders of the Orange county farm bureau are active in a campaign to get a home demonstration agent for this county. Cheered by the message from Sacramento that the budget of the state by Governor Richardson is to be taken care of by the University of California in its general appropriation, the women leaders in the various centers started to secure the needed names for presentation to the board. The county board will be asked in the petitions to appropriate $1500 for expense of the agent and then an appeal will be made to the university to name the agent and appropriate funds for salary. Many other counties in the state have had the home demonstration agent for several years and were "LINE IS BUSY" When a switchboard operator, in answer to a subscriber's call, reports "the line is busy," it naturally causes some annoyance and sometimes the calling subscriber feels that a proper effort has not been made by the operator. A simple explanation of the work involved in completing a connection will help to disabuse anyone's mind of the fallacy that the operator can save herself any time or labor by reporting a line as busy without finding out whether it is or not. The operator, in completing a call, uses a pair of flexible cords terminating in metal tips. One of these she inserts in an answering jack which connects her with the calling subscriber, and the other she inserts in the multiple jack of the called subscriber. But before she plugs into the multiple jack, she places the plug on the rim of the jack, which is a little metal-rimmed hole. If the line is busy, she hears a click and so reports "the line is busy." The test takes but the fraction of a second. From the operator's viewpoint it is much more advantageous to complete a call than to be obliged to report the line busy, because in most cases the calling party will ask for the number again and continue until the call is completed, thus entailing far more work upon the operator than would have been the case had the call been completed the first time. Sometimes a subscriber's line is reported busy, and the called subscriber afterward declares that he or she was The state highways no legal authority way funds to through compromised al U.S. Webb nas Goldberg F.

The county board will be asked in the petitions to appropriate $1500 for expense of the agent and then an appeal will be made to the university to name the agent and appropriate funds for salary. Many other counties in the state have had the home demonstration agent for several years and were alarmed at the announcement that the department had been cut from the budget by the state budget makers. While the university has announced it will provide the $57,000 necessary for the work, it has not indicated whether or not additional home demonstration agents are to be appointed. The work of the home agent is to visit farm centers and conduct projects among the wives of farmers and ranchers. Modern methods of home training, hat making, house furnishing, decorative work and various other lines are handled by the agent. The women of the home department of the farm bureau would meet with the agent and co-operate in the projects attempted should the appointment be made. The board of supervisors has indicated in talks with farm leaders that should a petition containing 400 or more names be presented asking $1,500 a year for the home demonstration agent it would not be turned down. No official action, however, has been taken by the board. DURGLARIES AT ORANGE Breaking into three safes in Orange stores, safe crackers obtained $2270 in bonds and cash either Saturday or Sunday night in the second visit of From the operator's viewpoint it is much more advantageous to complete a call than to be obliged to report the line busy, because in most cases the calling party will ask for the number again and continue until the call is completed, thus entailing far more work upon the operator than would have been the case had the call been completed the first time. Sometimes a subscriber's line is reported busy, and the called subscriber afterward declares that he or she was within hearing distance of the telephone all the time. The explanation of that is, that the called subscriber is on a party line which is being used by some other subscriber on the line. In spite of unavoidable interferences, the fact remains that the proportion of calls completed promptly is overwhelmingly greater than the delayed or lost calls, and this must be so if a telephone company is to do a profitable business, because beside the inconvenience and annoyance to its patrons, incomplete calls represent lost business and expense for which it receives no return. NOT SERIOUSLY HAMPERED Following a conference of the agricultural legislative committee with the administration of Governor Richardson, R. N. Wilson, secretary of the committee, has announced that nearly all of the $490,000 stricken from the agricultural budget has been restored, and that no function of the state dealing with agriculture will be seriously hampered. Home demonstration work, which had been eliminated from the appropriation for the University of California, to be transferred to the high school districts of the state, will be left with the university, while the $57,000 needed for its maintenance ANAHEIM GAZETTE will have to be cared for by the money already given the institution in the budget, this action has been assured. The adjustments regarding the budget of the state department of agriculture included the agreement that the self-supporting functions, which had been reduced by $212,000, will be continued, probably through a deficiency appropriation, as the interpretation placed upon the law regarding them, prevents direct appropriations being made. The plant quarantine item is to be restored to the budget, with but a slight reduction. Funds for grain and warehouse inspection, totaling $24,285, and pest control as regards vacuum fumigation in the sum of $8760, also have been definitely promised. Assurances also have been given that in the event the plan of the governor to transfer the livestock sanitary service from the state to the counties, is defeated in the legislature, he will provide for its continuance as a state function. It is not considered probable the bill providing for the change can be passed; and in the event of its defeat, the $118,000 needed for its support will be restored to the agricultural budget. These adjustments were reached after representatives of the agricultural legislative committee, which is composed of thirty-five commodity organizations in the state, met in Sacramento to consider the budget. With them met representatives of the California farm bureau federation, the California state grange and the farmers' educational and co-operative union. A special committee was named to take the case to the governor's agricultural advisory council, and its efforts met with such success that Mr. Wilson has stated: "The net result is that all of the vital functions of the department of agriculture will be cared for, a condition upon which the farmers of the county will have to be cared for by the money already given the institution in the budget, this action has been assured."

Attorney General U.S. Webb nas informed Chairman Goldberg F. Daniels, of the state board of control in an open meeting. The board of control work approved and sent to State Controller Ray L. Riley, for approval, a claim for $47,000, presented by the highway commission in favor of Blake and Heney, who contracted for the construction work in San Luis Obispo county, and which was included among some $3,000,000 worth of contracts cancelled by the new highway commission. According to members of the board of control, the Blake and Heney claim was the basis of an agreement to allow in part for work actually performed by the contractors and in part for equipment purchased by the contractors in order to handle the job.

Royer and her son, Max, seeking to set aside the will of the late Gen. Royer, was postponed when it came up for trial Monday in the superior court, and will be taken up May 1. The case was postponed because five grand children who are heirs, were not represented by guardians. Royer left the major portion of his estate to Marie Feraud, a nurse, allotting only $30,000 to his widow, and providing that she get nothing if she should contest the instrument. The widow, and a son, Max Royer, brought contest, on the ground that Miss Feraud influenced Royer, and caused him to sign the will while he was under the influence of drugs. Attorneys Jones, Thomas, Stevenson and Wilcox, of Los Angeles, appeared for Miss Feraud.
