PRESIDENT CAN'T PAY VISIT TO ANAHEIM EFFORTS TO HAVE HIM SPEAK AT MUNICIPAL PARK PROVE FAILURE Itinerary Already Blocked Out, and it Will Be Impossible to Make a Change in Schedule—Will Remain in County Seat Only a Few Hours, Most of the Time Being Spent at His Sister's Home—Will Probably Speak at Santa Fe Station in Santa Ana. Efforts on the part of Malcolm Fraser and others to arrange for a speech by President Harding at the municipal park in this city on the occasion of his visit to Orange county during the first week in August, have apparently failed, according to the report of a committee which consulted Walter Brown, his personal representative at Los Angeles, last Thursday. According to Mr. Brown the president's itinerary is already arranged and it would be impossible to alter the schedule. Mr. Harding will be in Orange county but obligations, he is merely Mrs. Remsberg's brother, and, as such, we shall, of course, respect his every wish. When he returns to his train, to resume his itinerary, however, he again becomes the president of the United States. Then, possibly, he may consent to sa ya few words to the people of Santa Ana and Orange county." It was believed the special train will leave between 2 and 4 p.m. LeCLAIRE BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT Man Charged With Cutting Wires Must Face a Jury L. R. LeClaire, of Anaheim, said to be business agent for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was held by Justice J. B. Cox, under $1000 bond for trial in the superior court July 27, on a charge of "cutting wires erected for the purpose of conveying electricity," which in this state constitutes a felony. LeClaire is specifically accused of severing electrical wiring installed in the home of T. A. Williams, 530 South Palm street, Anaheim, by Jess Triplett, contractor. LeClaire was arrested Thursday morning on complaint of Triplett, who asserted that the wires were cut Wednesday night maliciously and for the purpose of injuring his business. According t officers, LeClaire was seen by Special Detective Roy Choate, LARGE SUMMER FOR LEASE GROUND ANAHEIM BUILDING TION GETS KRICK ON NORTH L. A.

According to Mr. Brown the president's itinerary is already arranged and it would be impossible to alter the schedule. Mr. Harding will be in Orange county but a few hours on August 4, and most of the time will be spent at the home of his sister, Mrs. E. E. Remsberg, in Santa Ana. In accordance with the present arrangement, President Harding will arrive in southern California, upon his return from Alaska, in time to deliver two addresses in Los Angeles, Thursday, August 2. One speech will be delivered in the Hollywood bowl, the other at the new stadium in Los Angeles. Immediately after his Los Angeles engagements, President Harding will proceed to Catalina island, where he will be the guest of William Wrigley, millionaire manufacturer. Spending Friday, August 3, on the island, Mr. and Mrs. Harding are scheduled to take the morning boat for Willmington Saturday, August 4. Automobiles will be in readiness at 10:15 a.m., when the boat arrives, to bring the presidential party to Santa Ana. Mrs. E. E. Remsberg, sister of the president, expects to serve luncheon for the party about noon. "I do not know how long the president will remain with us," said Mrs. Remsberg, "but indications are that his visit will be brief. I hardly think there will be any speeches, but I suppose my brother will follow his usual custom and make a short 'front porch talk,' in the event the people of Santa Ana and Orange county insist upon it. I think my brother will also visit an aunt, at Sawtelle, while he is in southern California." Speaking for the president in Los Angeles, Walter Brown assured Orange county committeemen that Mr. Harding is quite anxious to spend as much time as possible here, but added that the exactions of the itinerary are such that few changes can be made in the schedule. Committeemen, however, consoled local and county residents with the information that it is just possible President Harding will make a brief speech at the Santa Fe station, just prior to his departure for San Diego. At the Santa Fe station, according LeClaire is specifically accused of severing electrical wiring installed in the home of T. A. Williams, 530 South Palm street, Anaheim, by Jess Triplett, contractor. LeClaire was arrested Thursday morning on complaint of Triplett, who asserted that the wires were cut Wednesday night maliciously and for the purpose of injuring his business. According t officers, LeClaire was seen by Special Detective Roy Choate, of Anaheim, at the Williams home at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday. His arrest ensued at 2 a.m. when he returned to his own home. The detective, it was said, fired six shots at LeClaire as the latter was fleeing from the Williams place. According to Triplett, the accused man formerly worked for him. Triplett said it was his opinion that the union of electrical workers and the Northern Orange county electrical contractors and dealers' association have an agreement by which they are attempting to ruin his business. According to Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley, officers did not find incriminating evidence against LeClaire in a search, conducted under a search warrant, of LeClaire's home and the headquarters of the union. Electricians' toole were found at the home of the accused man. L. A. EVANS ENTOMBED IN ANAHEIM MAUSOLEUM Funeral for Old-Time Resident-Held Last Thursday Afternoon Funeral services for Lumis A. Evans, who died suddenly of apoplexy at his home on the west side at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, were held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlors Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Leon L. Myers having charge. The remains were deposited in a crypt of the Anaheim mausoleum. Mr. Evans' death removes a man who has been active in the affairs of Anaheim for more than a third of a century. He was born in Michigan in 1854 and came to California in 1876. In 1878 he was married of Napa to Miss Louise J. Kellogg, and in 1888 moved to Anaheim, where he has since resided. In the early years of his residence here he devoted considerable time to the study of soil conditions, and was an authority on the subject. For many years he dealt in real estate, and at the time of his death was connected with a firm promoting land development in Central America. A business transaction phasizes the growing demand on the Anaheim Beltion, of which Joe Siever negotiated a long time H.

Committeemen, however, consoled local and county residents with the information that it is just possible President Harding will make a brief speech at the Santa Fe station, just prior to his departure for San Diego. At the Santa Fe station, according to present plans, the president's special train will be in waiting long before Mr. Harding arrives from Wilmington. With many newspaper men, including national and international figures, on board, the special train, it was predicted, will be surrounded by thousands of spectators when the president, after leaving his sister's home, motors to the station to continue his journey southward. This train will bring to Santa Ana many other members of the president's party. At San Diego the navy transport Henderson, upon which the presidential party will sail from Seattle for Alaska July 6, will be in waiting to make the return voyage to the Atlantic seaboard by way of the Panama canal. Equipped with modern amplifiers, the platform of the president's private car can be used to excellent advantage in the delivery of impromptu speeches. "If the president can be induced to make a short speech at the Santa Fe station, it will be possible for hundreds to hear him with the greatest ease," said J. H. Baumgartner, a member of the committee sent to Los Angeles. "While he is fulfilling his social objection He was born in Michigan in 1854 and came to California in 1876. In 1878 he was married of Napa to Miss Louise J. Kellogg, and in 1888 moved to Anaheim, where he has since resided.

For many years he dealt in real estate, and at the time of his death was connected with a firm promoting land development in Central America. Mr. Evans left a large family. Besides the widow he had six sons, Leonard, Frank, Russell, Lawrence, Benjamin, of Anaheim, and Bayard Evans, of Los Angeles; four daughters, Dr. Orilla May Bigelow, Joel Pasadena; Carrie Lou Sutherland, of Anaheim; Mrs. Jennie Butler, of Anaheim, and Alice Barker, who lives in Iowa. RUM RUNNERS CAUGHT After a chase in which a number of shots were fired on both sides, federal prohibition enforcement agents in a coast guard cutter captured one of the largest bands of rum runners plying between Mexico and the California coast, when early Sunday morning a fishing smack and a crew of men and women and 100 cases of liquor were taken by the agents off Anaheim Landing. The rum ship was first sighted off Newport and a chase was made, ending in the exchange of shots, and the subsequent surrender by the crew near Anaheim Landing. Members of the crew attempted to throw the liquor overboard, but authorities say it was recovered. The ships were not landed at any Orange county port, but were taken to San Pedro and the crew made prisoners of the federal courts. AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, July 5, 1923 LARGE SUM PAID FOR LEASE OF GROUND ANAHEIM BUILDING CORPORATION GETS KRICK CORNER ON NORTH L. A. STREET Consideration is Said to eB $244,800, But Time of Lease is Not Stated—Modern Business Building Soon to Be Erected on the Site, it is Reported—Several Apartment Houses Now Under Construction By the Company on Mills Park Tract. A business transaction which emphasizes the growing values in Anaheim was consummated last week when the Anaheim Building corporation, of which Joe Siegel is the head, negotiated a long time lease on the P. H. Krick property at the corner of Los Angeles and Cypress streets. The ground is 181x190 feet in dimensions, and it is stated the company contracts to pay a rental of $244,800 for it. This is merely for the bare ground, as the service station, the battery station and the cow stable now comprising the site nouncing a performance of "heavy Italian comic opera" to be presented later in the evening by the "Orange Lions Opera company." The opera was "arranged from Nuttalli by Provinski Schertfould" and the "cast-off characters" included "Margga Tomattos," betrothed malden; "Billious Bellipello," her fiance; "Donjon Tomattos," and "Donja Tomattos," her parents and half a dozen equally amazing characters, including "Lotharia Dulygio" successful rival to Billious. Guests gathered in front of the pavilion to witness the opera, which proved excruciatingly funny from the entry of the orchestra to the final "curtain," a window-blind, unrolled cermoniously before the perfectly visible cast. Entry of the gay "Lothario" and his henchmen on noble steeds, was perhaps one of the funniest bits, but every moment offered some new absurdity to make sides ache, so that it were a difficult matter to cite particular things."Concertino" the organ grinder and "Cocoanutto," his monkey, were delightful; the intoxicated violinist was equally so; "Johnsyni Myllinnii," director of the orchestra, the same—but why enumerate. It was a remarkable production and if it goes on the road, every Lion will feel certain of a remarkable season and unusual financial results. The opera was followed by yan entertaining feature presented by the Brea den which possesses a second Harry Lander. His Scottish songs with their FIRST U.P. TRAIN KILLS FOUR PERSONS PARTY OF AUTOISTS AT WHITTIER ATTEMPT TO BEAT IT TO CROSSING Gasoline Motor Car, Leaving Anaheim on its Maiden Trip Sunday Afternoon, Crashes Into an Auto Within an Hour, Causing the Death of Four—Train Crew Held Blameless, Driver of Auto Being Entirely Responsible According to Witnesses. The Union Pacific's first passenger car out of Anaheim had a disastrous trip—not for the car or its crew, but for an automobile load of people who attempted to beat it to a crossing. There were five persons in the auto, four of them being killed outright and the fifth, it was reported at the hospital, seriously, but not fatally injured. The dead are Frank Morgan and wife, of Whittier, and W. D. Morgan and wife, of Eagle Rock.

M mons, all A business transaction which emphasizes the growing values in Anaheim was consummated last week when the Anaheim Building corporation, of which Joe Siegel is the head, negotiated a long time lease on the P. H. Krick property at the corner of Los Angeles and Cypress streets. The ground is 181x190 feet in dimensions, and it is stated the company contracts to pay a rental of $244,800 for it. This is merely for the bare ground, as the service station, the battery station and the cow stable now cumbering the site will be moved off to make room for modern business buildings which the company will erect. This is a large sum of money to pay for the use of unimproved ground, but Mr. Siegel, who is a level headed man of business, is convinced that the Anaheim of today is but a village compared to what it will be a few years hence, and it is his intention to get a pretty large foot-hold now and be on the ground floor when the city grows up. It is not stated how long this lease is to run, but it is presumed to be a fifty year lease. If that is the case Mr. Krick will draw nearly $5000 a year income for a property that for many years was of little value to him, as most of it was vacant, and the balance was occupied by a barn and a corral for cows, horses and mules. What class of buildings the company contemplates erecting on the ground is not yet announced. This deal has no connection with the new hotel project announced some weeks ago by Mr. Siegel. Ground for this structure on Broadwap, just west of the library, was purchased outright by the company, and plans for the building are being drawn. The ground is 130x140 feet, and it is understood the building will cover the entire site. Aside from the fact that it is to be a five-story building, with store rooms and the hotel lobby on the ground floor and a large amusement hall in the top story, no definite information has been given out. It is promised, however, that the entire plan will be made public in a short time. A large amount of money is being invested by this company in improvements on the Mills Park tract., above North street. Four or five modern apartment houses are under construction, some of them being almost completed. Each house will furnish a commodious residence for four families. It is said the company expects to invest a quarter o' fa million dollars in this section of the city. The opera was followed by byan entertaining feature presented by the Brea den which possesses a second Harry Lauder. His Scotch songs with their lifting refrains in which the audience joined, were applauded until the oaks and sycamores leaned down to listen. "It's nice to get up in the mor-r-r-nin'," "Roamin' in the Gloamin'" and kindred songs were offered to the pleasure of the crowd. Since Llewellyn's orchestra of Anaheim had arrived, President White, of the enterta ning den, announced that other numbers on the program had been withdrawn and dancing would complete the evening. With Mrs. White, the host led the grand march which ended in a circle two-step, after which waitresses, fox-trots and two-steps followed in rapid succession. Cymbal dances proved especially popular, offering an opportunity for everybody dancing with everybody else and the orchestra won the loudly expressed approbation of everyone present not only for excellent time, but for a remarkable generosity in encore, one dance with its repeated encores, lasting nearly half an hour. The occasion was a courtesy by the Anaheim den in appreciation of the cooperation of the other clubs of the county in preparing and maintaining the Lions' club exhibit at the Anaheim orange show. SHOWER FOR MISS PETERSON A very delightful party was given on Monday evening by Miss Allene Adams and Miss Julia Goodrum at the home of the former, in honor of Miss Carrie Peterson, whose coming marriage to Elmer Carver has just been announced. The party was a miscellaneous shower and many beautiful and useful gifts were received by Miss Peterson. Several games and guessing contests were played at which Miss Erma Barnes won the prize. Each guest hemmed a towel for the brides' hope chest and Miss Alvira Joost won the prize for finishing first. Refreshments of ice cream and cake decorated with pink hearts were served. Decorations in the living room and dining room were pink and white car out of Anaheim had a disastrous trip—not for the car or its crew, but for an automobile load of people who attempted to beat it to a crossing. There were five persons in the auto, four of them being killed outright and the fifth, it was reported at the hospital, seriously, but not fatally injured. The dead are Frank Morgan and wife, of Whittier, and W. D. Morgan and wife, of Eagle Rock. Miss Dorothy Morgan, 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morgan, was the only survivors, but she is suffering from serious injuries. The U. P. car, a gasoline motor, left Anaheim about 1:30 Sunday afternoon on its maiden trip, inaugurating passenger service on the new railroad. It reached Whittier at 2:10, the accident occurring at the Hadley street crossing in that city. Witnesses who saw the accident declare that the crew of the motor car were blameless for the accident, as the auto was driven onto the track directly in front of it, making the collision unavoidable. Apparently Mr. Morgan did not see the oncoming train nor did he see the warning wig-wag signal. A. Williams who saw the accident and who was in the car immediately following the Morgan machine, stated that the light car drove upon the tracks, though himself saw the danger and stopped his own machine. The Union Pacific car was going at high speed and struck the Morgan machine fairly upon the side. The automobile was lifted up and carried for some distance down the track,, being demolished. Wreckage strewed the track for several hundred feet. The five autoists were thrown out of the wrecked machine and fell along the right of way. Motorists picked up the victims and hurried them to the Murphy memorial hospital at Whittier. There it was found that the elder Morgans, father and mother, were already dead, but that life still remained in the younger couple. Their injuries, however, were fatal, and they succumbed within an hour. The bodies were removed to the undertaking establishment of White Emerson at Whittier, and the coroner notified, who announced that an inquest would be held early in the week. Miss Morgan was cared for at the Murphy hospital, where it was stated that her wounds were dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. An investigation on the scene was made by Constable R. B. Way and Union Pacific officials. The railroad men cleared the car crew of responsibility A large amount of money is being invested by this company in improvements on the Mills Park tract., above North street. Four or five modern apartment houses are under construction, some of them being almost completed. Each house will furnish a commodious residence for four families. It is said the company expects to invest a quarter o'fa million dollars in buildings in that section of the city. MANY LIONS CAVORT AT COUNT YPARK Anaheim Den Plays Host to the Entire County From the jungle fastnesses of Orange county park, borne far on the still night air, echoed and re-echoed the fearsome roar of Lions as hundreds of them gathered Thursday night in the floods of moonlight to feast on the results of a raid on neighboring kraals. It was an awe-inspiring sight. And a never-to-be-forgotten evening for which the Lions of the entire county united in praising the Anaheim den and its enterprising president, Bob White, hosts on the occasion. For in Orange county, "all roads lead to" the park, and at 6:30 o'clock supper call waissued and the Lions and their guests formed in line, each armed with plate and coffee cup, for a generous serving of broiled steak, frijoles, potato salad, olives, pickles, cheese,buns and coffee. The long tables were soon surrounded with the 350 and more guests. Ere the diners left the tables they were handed printed programs an- Glacier National Park, June 30, 1923. Mr. H. Kuchel. Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: We have been east to Ohio,and also visited in Chicago and St. Paul. The roads are so bad that we are not seeing the park, as we would like, as it has rained for the past two weeks. All the northern tier of states from here to St. Paul have had heavy rains the last few days and the wheat looks good. We leave for Seattle today, and expect to be home in two weeks. Yours truly, J.

Trial of the contest was before a jury and findings were for the heirs, the jury returning a verdict that Miss Feraud and others used undue influence on Royer when he drafted the document. Judge Williams has had the motion under advisement since last Saturday and made his ruling late Friday afternoon. Earlier in the day he had issued an order appointed Max Royer, son of the general, special administrator of the estate. Whether the case will be carried to the supreme court is not known. Attorneys for Miss Feraud were not present when Judge Williams announced his ruling a few minutes before court adjourned. During the contest trial, it was stated that Royer's estate was valued at approximately $225,000. In his petition for letters of administration, the son gave the value of the estate as not in excess of $50,00. WEEK-END ACCIDENTS Orange county's week-end traffic contributed two dead and five injured to the grim total of motoring tragedies.

The board of trustees of the Anaheim grammar school district are doing a commendable work in the construction of the new addition to the Fremont school building on West Center street, and perhaps their methods are unique in the history of school building in this state. The board is having the new structure erected by day labor. The total cost of the building will be approximately $50,000, and as the building is under the direct supervision of the members of the board every dollar of expenditure is being accounted for. Under this WEEK-END ACCIDENTS Orange county's week-end traffic contributed two dead and five injured to the grim total of motoring tragedies. Antonio Dominguez, 16, of Santa Ana, and Guadalupe Vidal, 8, of Buena Park, were dead. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Emmons and Mrs. A. Moore, mother of Mrs. Emmons, all of Pasadena, were seriously injured and taken to hospitals. Ammondo and Jesus Dominguez, brothers of Antonio, were slightly injured in the accident which cost the life of their brother. Young Dominguez, who resided at 1027 1-2 East Fourth street, Santa Ana, and who was employed on the San Joaquin ranch, was in the rear seat of the car bearing his brothers, when, in attempting to pass a truck in Santa Ana canyon, at 7 p.m. Sunday, they met another machine and were forced to fall back. But the sudden application of the brakes caused the rear of the fatal car to skid into the truck. The lighter vehicle was demolished. Antonio sustained fractures of all the ribs on his right side, and two of them penetrated vital organs. A gaping hole was torn in the boy's side. He died while being taken to the county hospital. The Vidal child was killed at 10 a.m. Sunday by a car reported to have been driven by Mrs. John C. Tucker, of Balboa, authorities understood. Accompanied by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Amadora Cota, the little girl was crossing the highway after stopping to purchase some fruit at a stand near the county hospital. Mrs. Tucker, with her husband and children, was bound for Pasadena when the accident took place. The accident to Mr. and Mrs. Emmons and Mrs. Moore occurred near Huntington Beach, late Saturday, when Emmons lost control of the wheel and his car struck a telephone pole, it was said by witnesses. After receiving treatment in the community hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Emmons were removed to a Pasadena hospital by their family physician. Mrs. Moore, suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg, several fractured ribs and severe lacerations of the fact, was too seriously hurt to be removed. MORE BOOTLEGGERS A woman and six Mexicans are in heim grammar school district doing a commendable work in the construction of the new addition to the Fremont school building on West Center street, and perhaps their methods are unique in the history of school building in this state. The board is having the new structure erected by day labor. The total cost of the building will be approximately $50,000, and as the building is under the direct supervision of the members of the board every dollar of expenditure is being actually accounted for. Under this new regime it is estimated that at least $7000, and perhaps more, will be saved the district for construction. The money to finance the enterprise has been saved out of the annual apportionment, covering three years, by an impartial eye given to an economic program, and thus safe-guarding the people's interests. The actual work started several months ago and the building will be finished and ready for occupancy when the fall term of school opens in September. The construction work is first-class in every particular and meets in every respect and minor detail to the plans and specifications. The board has been careful to replace certain units in the structure, for less money, wherever that could be done when the article installed did not fall below the standard. In this way the board has been enabled to economize considerably. This is one of their fundamental principles—to save a dollar without lowering the quality. The new building will contain all modern improvements and when finished will be the equal, if not the superior, of any like structure in the state. The board of trustees is composed of Messrs. Metcalf, Sloop and Elliott, gentlemen in whom their constituents have absolute faith and confidence. These public servants are doing the district a great service—in that they are proceeding along economical lines. They are zealously guarding the people's best interests, and are deserving of the hearty support and commendation of all good citizens. "I believe in an economic administration of public affairs," stated Mr. Metcalf, in discussing the details in connection with the construction of the new building. "The principle of economy should apply to all executive bodies in the state and nation, and likewise in the county and city, and even in lodges. An economic government is the paramount issue before the people today. A man should guard After receiving treatment in the community hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Emons were removed to a Pasadena hospital by their family physician. Mrs. Moore, suffering from a compound fracture of the left leg, several fractured ribs and severe lacerations of the fact, was too seriously hurt to be removed. MORE BOOTLEGGERS A woman and six Mexicans are in jail and four stills, twenty-five gallons of whisky, and several barrels of mash were being held as evidence of raids made at Delhi, early Friday evening; by Sheriff Sam Jernigan and a number of other officers of the county. Several houses were raided simultaneously, the officers dividing into small groups. Officers were endeavoring to locate two more men, thought by them to have been operating stills or selling liquor. Those held are charged with possession. According to Jeruigan, some of the still equipment was the best he has yet uncovered in raids. A "heat" was on in one of the stills, while in another it was found that distillation had just been completed, he said. In the raiding party, in addition to the sheriff, were Deputy Sheriffs O. K. Carr, Hank Warner, Vernon Myers, Louis Heffner, W. F. Scott, Herman, Zabel, Ed McLellan and H. W. McKague; B. F. Nichols, E. T. Nichols, A. A. McCoy, police officers of Anaheim, and W. H. Barnard, member of the Santa Ana police force. Those under arrest are Francisco Guzman, Manuel Guzman, Jesus F. Oanaba, Mrs. Marie Castro, Roman Rossales, Margarito Bullleo and Candelario Valenzuela. NEW EBELL BUILDING A colonial building in the form of a "T." 74 feet long and 41 feet wide, will be built by the Ebell club of Anaheim, according to plans announced here last week. The building is to be finished in the style of the colonists and will have a white exterior with green trimings. The interior will be finished in ivory enamel. In the main wing on the first floor will be the social room, the cloak room, the entrance loggia, the reception room, the section room. The second floor of the same wing will consist of a large banquet hall with a smaller room for luncheon. There will be a complete kitchen. Three hundred persons can be accommodated in the auditorium which is planned for the rear. A stage, dressing room will be located at the end. Who remembers when nearly every county seat town was divided on the question of whether there should be a hitch-rack around the court house?
