An excellent program had been arranged for each afternoon and evening during the nine days the show was in progress. Scores of movie artists assisted in the performances. Miss Maryon Aye, one of the most beautiful members of the Hollywood colony, being selected as "Queen Valencia," and maintaining a court on the most important days. The Philharmonic orchestra of Los Angeles, under the direction of A. R. Shepherd, furnished music each afternoon and evening, giving a two-hour concert twice a day. The pageant of the Valencia orange, arranged by Miss Lettie Carroll, was given Friday and Saturday evenings. It was a progressive story of the development of California, giving pictures or scenes in the various stages of California's history. It began with the dons of a hundred years ago, followed b y scene representing the coming of the Americans, the argonauts of '49, etc., ending with a present day scene. All the activities and amusements were shut down Sunday, the only entertainment being sacred concerts by the orchestra in the afternoon and evening. Concessionsaires in the Joy Zone were rabid and threatened in numerous damage suits against the management, but nobody appears to be alarmed. The most interesting number on the entire program was the marriage on Monday evening of W. H. Ord and Miss Margaret Henke, both of Los Angeles. The marriage took place on the stage, Judge J. B. Cox performing the ceremony. Two years ago in a contest Miss Henke was adjudged the most beautiful girl in the state of Michigan.

Anaheim’s city government will be at home in the new city hall on June 7, and on the evening of that day the new building will be officially dedicated. All the offices will be open, the officials and employees being at their posts, and the public is invited to call and see the new quarters. Ahe municipal band will furnish music for the occasion, and Richard Melrose, for many years connected with the government as clerk and city attorney, will make a speech, reviewing the past history of the city hall. City sent to Santa Ana, called Rogers and had the man jailed on suspicion. Similar operations have been worked on many telegraph offices in the south, according to Rogers, by the gang, composed of expert telegraph operators, who intercept messages concerning money and then calling at the office, would claim to be the party to whom the money was addressed. By having "listened in" on the messages they were able to answer questions at the telegraph offices intelligently, Rogers said. "The Glendale office became suspicious," Warner said, "when a man called them by telephone, said he was Webb, and instructed the office to forward his sum of money from Scranton, Pa., to Santa Ana. The real Webb is employed by a Glendale electrical concern and the manager know him personally. He got in touch with him, found the telephone message was false and then warned me to be on the watch." Warner said Webb telephoned the office at Santa Ana while he was getting this warning over the wire from Glendale. He first gave his name as Frank Webb. While Webb's description does not fit that of a man who "worked" the Anaheim Western Union office for $150 a few weeks ago by a similar scheme, it is said to tally with a description of the person who victimized the Long Beach and other offices. ARNOLD KRAEMER BUYS S. Q. R. STORE IS VISITED BY BURGLARS THIEVES MAKE A GOOD HAUL AT DEPARTMENT STORE SUNDAY NIGHT Ladies' Silk Wear Valued at $1000 Carried Away in Eight Stolen Suit Cases—Entrance Gained By Sawing Hole Through the Floor—Aperture 8 by 12 Inches Admits Thief—Finger Print Expert Unable to Find Any Evidence—Big Haul at Santa Ana. The S. Q. R. store is the latest victim of the burglar in this city, goods to the amount of $1000 being carried away from that store Sunday night. The burglars appeared to be discriminating, taking only silk goods which would make a small bulk and run into high prices. When A. E. Schumacher, one of the proprietors, opened the store Monday morning he discovered that a hole eight by twelve inches in dimensions, had been sawed in the floor in the rear of the store room. Investigation at home in the new city hall on June 7, and on the evening of that day the new building will be officially dedicated. All the offices will be open, the officials and employees being at their posts, and the public is invited to call and see the new quarters. Ahe municipal band will furnish music for the occasion, and Richard Melrose, for many years connected with the government as clerk and city attorney, will make a speech, reviewing the past history of the city hall. City Manager O. E. Steward will also speak from the standpoint of a present day official. The next meeting of the trustees will be held in the legislative hall of the new building. Purchasers of the $160,000 sewer bond issue reported to the council Thursday night that attorneys for the company had approved all the steps taken in issuing the bonds, and that the money was ready at any time. The board ordered the bonds printed at once. The Southern Counties Gas company turned in a check for $1593.91, amount due the city under the company's franchise which binds the company to pay 2 per cent of its gross receipts to the city. The receipts of the company in this city during the year amounted to $79,195.60. The following sidewalks and curbs were ordered constructed: On Kroeger street, between Broadway and Santa Ana, sidewalk and curb; Atchison street, between Broadway and Santa Ana street, curb; on East Broadway, walk near Santa Fe railroad tracks, on East Broadway, walk near East street; on Rose street, walk and curb near Santa Ana street; on Santa Ana street, walk and curb between Rose and East streets, on Paulina street, walk from Sycamore to Cypress, bordering Rogers property, walk and curb from Sabina street to Santa Fe street; on North Los Angeles, walk along Chamminl and Kole property; on Carleton street, walk and curb near Lincoln; on Thalia street, walk along property of Anaheim Feed & Fuel company; on Citron street, curb along Rimpau property; on Third street south, walk near Helena and walk and curb on Mrs. Womer's property; on South Olive street, walk and curb for twenty-five foot lot; on North street, on north side between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, wal kand curb. ARNOLD KRAEMER BUYS SANTA ANA PROPERTY Pays $120,000 for a Business Building, It is Said Arnold Kraemer, son of Samuel Kraemer, of Placentia, was scheduled to become the owner of valuable business property in Santa Ana, on June 1. Negotiations were being completed for the purchase by Kraemer of the Floyd B. Smith business property, southwest corner of Main and Sixth streets. The consideration is reported to have been approximately $120,000. The property, formerly occupied by Knox & Stout Ford agency, was acquired by Smith two years ago, since which time he has made extensive improvements and alterations. The building is two stories, located on a lot with 100 foot frontage on Main street and depth of 125 feet along West Sixth street. There are four store rooms on the ground floor. The second story being offices. Kraemer does not contemplate any changes in the building. It is said. It is understood Kraemer made the purchase as a sound investment, and with the belief that the property will become more valuable as business operations on North Main street expand. Kraemer and his father have made extensive building improvements at Anaheim, and the fact that the son has invested in Santa Ana is regarded by local persons as an indication that the Kraemers will carry on a building program there similar to that in this city. TRIED TO SEAT TRAIN AT RAILROAD CROSSING One Man at Point of Death, and Another Injured Henry Siris, 20 years of age, of 416 Bonita street, Long Beach, was perhaps fatally injured, and his father William Siris, painfully hurt here late Tuesday afternoon when the truck in office at Santa Ana while he was getting this warning over the wire from Glendale. He first gave his name as Frank Webb. While Webb's description does not fit that of a man who "worked" the Anaheim Western Union office for $150 a few weeks ago by a similar scheme, it is said to tally with a description of the person who victimized the Long Beach and other offices. When A. E. Schumacher, one of the proprietors, opened the store Monday morning he discovered that a hole eight by twelve inches in dimensions, had been sawed in the floor in the rear of the store room. Investigation revealed that a large quantity of silk ladies' wear had been stolen, and that eight suit cases were missing. The thieves had evidently carried the silk away in the suit cases. Entrance had been gained to the basement through a ventilator or fanlight, and a hole through the floor had been cut with an augur and a saw. Both these implements had been left behind by the thieves. As the hole through the floor was only 8 by 12 inches—much too small for a full grown man to squeeze through, it is supposed that a boy or a young person had been pushed through for the purpose of opening the rear door. Herman Zabel, the sheriff's finger print expert, came over but was unable to take any prints owing to the dust. There were no footprints except the barefoot tracks of a small boy or girl in the rear of the store, but as many children prowl about the alley every day, this was considered of little consequence. O. H. Renner, one of the proprietors, recalled observing a young man and two girls who visited the store Saturday afternoon. His attention was called to them because the young man wandered around the store in an observant manner while the girls were looking at goods. He gave the officers a description of them as far as he could remember. The burglars left absolutely no clue on which the officers could work. BURGLARS GET BIG HAUL Orange county officers, aided by those of many other cities in southern California are attempting to locate a bold unmasked bandit, who entered a private home at Santa Ana, held up three people and escaped with $6500 worth of jewelry and $90 in cash. The victims of the robbery were C. F. Skirvin, of 1501 North Broadway, a former well-known Iowa publisher,and his wife. Skirvin was forced at the point of a gun to stand by while his wife and her sister. Mrs. Josephine Walker,a visitor from Iowa, were BUNKO MAN ARRESTED BY SANTA ANA POLICE Said to Be Leader of a Gang of Wire Tappers Believed by Santa Ana police to be the ring-leader of a gang of expert wire-tappers, which, during the past two months, has successfully "worked" more than a dozen telegraph offices in southern California and by clever duplicity stolen more than $3,000, a man who said his name was Frank Webb was landed in the Orange county jail Friday. Webb was arrested by City Marshal Claude Rogers at the office of the Western Union, 404 North Sycamore street, Santa Ana, where Webb was attempting to collect $150 which, he told Manager F. E. Warner, had been sent him by his sister from Scranton, Pa. Webb said the money was to have been sent to Glendale, but on his order it was rerouted to Santa Ana. Warner, suspicious of the man's inability to answer certain questions which are customarily asked recipients of money by wire, and "tipped off" by the Glendale Western Union office that a Fred V. Webb, a well known resident of that city, who was expecting money from his sister at Scranton, had not ordered the cash helm Feed & Fuel company; on Citron street, curb along Rimpau property; on Third street south, walk near Helena and walk and curb on Mrs. Wommer's property; on South Olive street, walk and curb for twenty-five foot lot; on North street, on north side between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, wal kand curb. TRIED TO SEAT TRAIN AT RAILROAD CROSSING One Man at Point of Death, and Another Injured Henry Siris, 20 years of age, of 416 Bonita street, Long Beach, was perhaps fatally injured, and his father, William Siris, painfully hurt here late Tuesday afternoon, when the truck in which they were riding was struck by a Santa Fe passenger train at the Center street crossing near the Anaheim station. The young man, still unconscious and suffering from a fractured skull, a broken shoulder and internal injuries, was rushed to the Anaheim hospital, where physicians said there was little hope for his recovery. The father was severely bruised on the head and shoulders and may be confined to the hospital several days. The accident occurred when the son attempted to drive a truck loaded with oranges across the path of the approaching train. The engine struck the rear of the truck, threw the father beneath the train with his legs lying across the track. The train stopped just as the wheels reached his body. Witnesses, who declared the wigwag signal at the crossing was operating when the accident occurred, helped to remove the young man from the demolished car. The boy who "turns out" well, is likely to be the one who "turns in" early. A wise man lives by the experience for which others have paid the price. The victims of the robbery were C. F. Skirvin, of 1501 North Broadway, a former well-known Iowa publisher,and his wife. Skirvin was forced at the point of a gun to stand by while his wife and her sister, Mrs. Josephine Walker,a visitor from Iowa, were bound hand and foot. He was then made to open the safe where the gems and money were kept. The man was admitted to their home upon an alleged business mission regarding a company in which Skirvin is interested. When admitted he drew a revolver and forced the three occupants to remain quiet and give him the gems. He seemed familiar about the gems, which are usually kept in a safe-deposit box and some of which had not been worn in California. The intruder, who was unmasked, said he was a member of a New York gang, who "did things right," and had two confederates outside the house. As he left, he returned Mrs. Skirvin's wedding ring upon her appeal, but refused to return a diamond brooch which her husband had given her. Skirvin described the robber as being about five feet ten inches tall. weight 145 pounds, high cheek bones and deeply lined face. He wore a dark suit and coarse straw hat. His hair was dark brown, and, according to the victims, he seemed to be about 40 years old. So profit is without honor—somewhere. LETTE Number 33 FORE IS BY ARS OOD HAUL AT FORE SUN-HT Lued at $1000 Right Stolen Suit Named By Sawing Door—Aperture 8 Us Thief—Finable to Find Haul at Santa FAMILY REUNION A large family reunion was enjoyed Sunday at the P.

SUES TO RECOVER ROYER PROPERTY Deeds Given to Valuable Holdings to Be Contested in Court Suits have been filed in Los Angeles and Napa counties to test the validity of deeds given David H. and Beatrice McDonald and Anna Koltzen by the late J. O. Royer, as general manager MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED IN ANAHEIM AMERICAN LEGION POST HAD CHARGE OF SERVICES AT CEMETERY Rev. Thomas Walker, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Delivered the Address — Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech Recited By Five-Year-Old Boy—Entertainment at the Orange Show Appropriate to the Day—All Fullerton Joins In Procession to Loma Vista Cemetery. All Anaheim paused in its business pursuits yesterday, and spent the day in paying tribute to the dead. Business houses were all closed, and the majority of the people went out to the various cemeteries to lay flowers on the graves of the departed, and to witness the exercises at the graves of the soldiers who have passed on. At the orange show the program was appropriate to the day, the music being especially arranged for the occasion. The boys of '61 who, in former years have had charge of the services on SUES TO RECOVER ROYER PROPERTY Deeds Given to Valuable Holdings to Be Contested in Court Suits have been filed in Los Angeles and Napa counties to test the validity of deeds given David H. and Beatrice McDonald and Anna Koltzen by the late J. O. Royer, as general manager of the Anaheim Investment company, to property in those counties. The suits have been filed by Attorney Edwin Meserve, representing the Royer family, who successfully fought the will contest suit in this county. The suits are said to have been filed in an effort to have the deeds declared not properly executed. The McDonalds were given the homestead of the Royers in Napa county, which had been held by them since coming to America in 1901 from France. Mrs. McDonald was a servant in the Royer Los Angeles home for seven years. A deed held by Mrs. Koltzon to a lot in Los Angeles is also contested. This deed was signed by General Royer on Sept. 18, 1922, the day the contested will was signed, and was recorded by Attorney Frank M. Willcox. The deed to the Napa county property given to Mrs. McDonald and her husband was executed on September 21, three days after the will. It also was recorded by Mr. Willcox. The family, represented by Mr. Meserve, will seek to prove that since the property was held by the company in which Mr. Royer was not the only stockholder and since he was proved in the other case, he have been under the influence of Miss Marie Feraud, his confidential secretary, Frank M. Willcox and John W. Willcox, his father, the deeds were not regular. It is claimed that had the general been in his right mind he would have given the servants a remembrance in his will and not be separate unconditional deeds, given without consulting the directors of the company. Mrs. Koltzon had been in the employ of General Royer but six weeks when the deed was given her "for faithful services." ANAHEIM BOY SCOUT MAKES GOOD RECORD Pupil at St. Catherine's After a Perfect Score pursuits yesterday, and spent the day in paying tribute to the dead. Business houses were all closed, and the majority of the people went out to the various cemeteries to lay flowers on the graves of the departed, and to witness the exercises at the graves of the soldiers who have passed on. At the orange show the program was appropriate to the day, the music being especially arranged for the occasion. The boys of '61 who, in former years have had charge of the services on this day, turned over the management to the American Legion this year, and the post had charge of all the arrangements. The services at the cemetery were similar to those of former years, the remnant of Malvern Hill post being in the line of march from the cemetery gates to the mausoleum, where the exercises were held. Following is the complete program as rendered at the cemetery: Assembly at arch of Anaheim cemetery, 9:30 a.m. March to monument—funeral march by Anaheim band. Selection by Anaheim band—Columbia. Invocation by Rev. Samuel P. Gott. Raising of flag by Boy Scouts. Tribute to absent and unknown dead, by Dr. Freeman, of Fullerton. Salute by American Legion firing squad.

Potter, accompanied by Mrs. Ruth L. Seitz. Benediction, by Rev. Leon L. Myers. Decoration of graves.

Walter Thornton, of the Christian church, and Frank Benchley, commander of the Fullerton post, made an address. SHERIFF CONFISCATES WHEELS OF FORTUNE Sheriff's officers, acting on instruc- ANAHEIM BOY SCOUT MAKES GOOD RECORD Pupil at St. Catherine's After a Perfect Score Distinguished for qualifying within a year for the highest honor in scouting, through fostering the spirit of scoutdom in one of southern California's leading institutions for boys, Jack McFadden, one of the most enthusiastic scouts among all the members of Orange county is not content to rest on his laurels, but has set as his goal a collection containing every medal and badge of the organization. Jack came to Anaheim from San Diego at the first of this school year and entered the St. Catherine school for boys. He had been admitted to a scout troop a short time before coming here, and upon his arrival he started a campaign to interest his schoolmates in scouting. He succeeded, and within less than a year the St. Catherine school has organized one of the most active and enthusiastic troops in Orange county. Instructors at St. Catherine's agree that the spirit of scoutdom, which has been introduced into the school, is both beneficial and instructive and is in direct co-operation with the policy of the institution—to protect the boyhood of America. It isn't necessary to teach a modern old dog new tricks. He knows 'em. SHERIFF CONFISCATES WHEELS OF FORTUNE Sheriff's officers, acting on instructions from C. N. Mozley, deputy district attorney, raided the Joy Zone at the orange show Friday night, confiscated seven wheels of chance, and seven men who were operating them were cautioned. The men gave their names as L. W. Stearns, L. M. Barnett, Eddie Moore, E. R. Bliss, J. O'Maley, T. Schwan and Harry Susman. All gave their residences as Los Angeles except Bliss, who lives in San Bernardino. The wheels were taken to Santa Ana and stored with other junk taken from violators of the law by tse sheriff and his aldes. It was reported that the seven operators would not be prosecuted. They would probably be reprimanded and told to go and sin no more. If these games were similar to those operated here on former occasions they could not be designated as games of chance, because the man who laid his money on the board had no chance. The operator was merely a highway robber and could stop on any number he chose. The only persons who ever won anything were cappers for the operators. Tomorrow belongs to somebody else—not you.
