VOLUME LII MAN CONFESSES AUTHORSHIP OF FIRES LOCOED MEXICAN WANTED A LITTLE EXCITEMENT, HE DECLARED Several Attempts to Destroy Industrial Plants at Anaheim and Fullerton Frustrated By Prompt Action of the Fire Fighters—I. W. W. Agents Supposed Responsible—Employes at Municipal Power House Extinguish Two Fires Here. Whether the incendiary fires started in Anaheim and Fullerton last week were caused by I. W. W. activities, the work of a man with a personal grievance, or a demented firebug was a question authorities had not been able to answer satisfactorily, until F. B. Padilla, arrested on suspicion, confessed his guilt. Concluding that all the fires were kindled in industrial plants, and the Wobblies are particularly active in southern clined to believe that F. B. Padilla, the Mexican who was seen to emerge from beneath the Gentle packing house during the fire, was telling the truth when he stated that he had merely crept under the building because it was a good place to sleep, yet they held him in the Fullerton jail for further investigation. Officers from Colton and other points where incendiary fires had occurred came over and identified him as having been seen in the vicinity of fires at other towns. After considerable pressure Padilla finally confessed that he started the fires here and at Fullerton, and also fires at Colton, Riverside and San Bernardino. In all twelve fires had been kindled by him, he stated. The aggregate loss in these fires was over a million dollars. Padilla was taken to the different towns where he had fired buildings, and piloted the officers to the scenes of his activities. His only reason for his action is that he craved excitement and wanted to mingle with the crowds and watch the blaze. In fact, in several instances he assisted in extinguishing the fires he had himself started. Following is a list of the fires Padilla is alleged to have confessed starting, according to officers.

CONTRACTS FOR OUTSEWER ANAHEIM, ORANGED TON TRUSTEES SESSION Total Figures of $238,000, Nearly all and Dollars Below estimate—Time Limited By the Beam Expected to Be Six Months—Workably. Contracts for the outfall sewer constrictive system that cally all of the seven county to the ocean problem that has worry to the govern four principal cities a number of years, meeting of the trust of Orange, Anaheim. Whether the incendiary fires started in Anaheim and Fullerton last week were caused by I. W. W. activities, the work of a man with a personal grievance, or a demented firebug was a question authorities had not been able to answer satisfactorily, until F. B. Padilla, arrested on suspicion, confessed his guilt. Considering that all the fires were kindled in industrial plants, and the Wobblies are particularly active in southern California at the present time endeavoring to cripple all business, it was the general opinion that agents of that organization were responsible, but the fact that the fires in Anaheim were start shortly after eight o'clock, at an hour when the blaze was certain to be discovered and extinguished before much headway was gained, inclined the officers to believe that an insane man, craving excitement, may have been the guilty party. The attempt in every instance was bungling, and differed considerably from the work of the experienced wobbly. Two persons were arrested on suspicion—one at Orange and one at Fullerton, but there was no positive evidence against either of them. Jeff A. Janeway was arrested at Orange, and is at a hospital suffering from a bullet wound in both legs. He had been accosted by a policeman who wished to question him, but made an attempt to get away. The officer shot him through both legs. It has been ascertained that Janeway has an unsavory record. He refused to give an account of his activities during the short period of his sojourn in Orange county, consequently he will be held as a suspect after his discharge from the county hospital. F. B. Padilla, a Mexican, who only crossed the Rio Grande a few weeks ago, was taken in by the officers at Fullerton, and while the evidence against him is stronger than against him was stronger than against Janeway, he was detained only on suspicion. Padilla was identified by the foreman of the Gentle packing house, in Anaheim, as the man who was seen crawling from beneath the building on the night of the fire. He admitted his identity, claiming that he had crawled under the building for the purpose of spending the night, but his slumbers were disturbed by the hubbub incident to the fire. He talked freely of his actions, apparently telling a straight story, and wept copiously over the misfortunes that had overtaken him in the land of the Gringo. FORECAST INCREASE IN COUNTY TAXES More Money Required for School Purposes Coming eYar With investigations under way by the board of supervisors preparatory to fixing the county budget and tax rate next September, indications point to a higher tax levy the coming year despite a probable decrease in the road construction fund and other county funds. Increased school attendance and consequent greater financial demands, it is believed, may increase the rate at least 5 cents this year, it was said. According to R. P. Mitchell, county school superintendent, the supervisors will be asked for an allowance of 100 per month per pupil, for the high school, the same as last year. The increased attendance would swell the total to $348,200, he estimated, as against $311,000 for the past year. The average daily attendance was given as 3482.

He talked freely of his actions, apparently telling a straight story, and wept copiously over the misfortunes that had overtaken him in the land of the Gringo. Two fires were started in Anaheim almost simultaneously, one at the Joseph A. Gentle packing house on Santa Ana street, and the other at the old marmelade plant, at Los Angeles and Santa Ana. The firebug was observed lighting his fire at the Gentle place by residents of the neighborhood who notified Superintendent Hannum and other employees of the power house, who happened to be working nearby. Frank Schaffer, one of the electricians, ran to the power house to turn in the alarm, and when he came out he noticed an incipient blaze under the marmelade plant. He rushed back and turned in another alarm, then seized a chemical extinguisher and assisted the other power house men in subduing the flames at both places. The man who started the fire at the Gentle plant was seen, but got away. On the following day and night several fires were started in Fullerton, all of them in packing houses, making it an active day for the fire department. Two attempts were made to destroy the Placentia Orange Growers' association plant, one at 1:45 in the afternoon, and the other at 9:45. Six alarms were sent in during the afternoon and evening, but in every instance efforts of the firebugs to destroy the plants were frustrated.

Contracts for the last units in the outfall sewer construction, that gigantic system that will carry practically all of the sewage of Orange county to the ocean, and thus solve a problem that has been a source of worry to the governing bodies of the four principal cities of the county for a number of years, were let at a joint meeting of the trustees and engineers of Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton at C. OF C. DIRECTORS The election for six new directors of the chamber of commerce last week resulted in the following vote: Henry M. Adams, 44; Leonard Evans, 43; H. H. Benjamin, 42; R. B.

McFadden, 22; A. Bayllss, 19. The count of this vote revealed a tie between William Falkenstein and Sidney Prince for the sixth place. Mr. Falkenstein decided to withdraw from the contest, but the matter was otherwise settled when Henry M. Adams signed his seat, which he has held for several years, and declined re-election. EUCHRE CLUB The Ladies' Buchre club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. C. F. Grim at her home on East Center street on Thursday afternoon. After the game of euchre, the first prize, a handsome piece of pyrex, was awarded to Mrs. Falkenstein, and the second, also a piece of pyrex, to Mrs. Bennerscheldt, while the consolation was captured by Mrs. Dresser. Freshments of delicious salads, cake and coffee were served at the close of the afternoon.

The burglar who has so actively pled his trade in this city during the past few years, but who has been laying off for a month, is apparently back from a summer vacation and again on the job. Two residences on the east side were ransacked Saturday evening, the same system being used that has been employed here in all former burglaries. This man is an early evening visitor.

Bids for the work were submitted to the Anaheim trustees at the regular meeting Thursday night, but action was deferred until Monday night, when a joint meeting of the Three bodies was scheduled to be held. Santa Ana was not represented at this meeting, as that city has no connection with these contracts, only the cities of Anaheim, Orange and Fullerton, connecting with the treatment plant, west of Santa Ana, being interested. Ten bids were submitted for the work, and the bidding was shaved to the lowest possible figure. The governing bodies of the three towns are congratulating themselves because the contracts were let to responsible firms at a cost almost a hundred thousand dollars below the estimated cost. The total figures for the three jobs are $238,454.38. Following are the accepted bids: Section 2—From Garden Grove to the treatment site. Requirements—17,300 feet of 30-inch concrete pipe; 27,278 feet of 27-inch concrete pipe; 27 manholes and 1160 pile trestle. Awarded to C. E. Green, 418 Western Mutual Life building, Los Angeles.

Two hundred and thirty days was allowed for the completion of the work, but City Manager Steward is of the opinion that the sewer will be ready for connection within six months. The Ladies’ Muhre club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. C. F. Grim at her home on East Center street on Thursday afternoon. After the game of euchre, the first prize, a handsome piece of pyrex, was awarded to Mrs. Falkenstein, and the second, also a piece of pyrex, to Mrs. Bennerscheidt, while the consolation was captured by Mrs. Dresser. Freshments of delicious salads, cake and coffee were served at the close of the afternoon. Those present were: Mrs. Grim, Mrs. A. Schulte, Mrs. W. J. Cole, Mrs. Sandilands, Mrs. Fulkenstein, Mrs. Dwyer, Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Mrs. Bradley, Miss Margaret Bradley, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Edgar Hartung, Mrs. Benjamin, Mrs. Lybarger, Mrs. Chester Holcomb, of Chino; Mrs. Bennerachejdt, Mrs. A.

Lewis will entertain. SIX BRIDES-TO-BE HONORED AT PARTY Miss Lillian Degryse Entertains at a Pleasant Party Six brides-to-be honored at a party given by Miss Lillian Degryse at her home on Kroeger street last Thursday evening, the occasion being an enjoyable one, and the evening happily spent. The six blushing maidens who confessed their coming nuptials are among the best known and most popular young ladies in the city. They are Misses Mareta Westphal, Vera O’Rourke, Elsala Schellens, Evelyn Degryse, Clara Heinze, and Ruth Crawford. Each of the young ladies was presented 30 pieces of paper on which the thirty guests had written a carefully compiled list of “advice to brides,” which will probably receive due consideration from all of them. The sir fortunate bridegrooms who in a short time will lead these young ladies to the alter, were announced as follows: Miss Westphal is to marry Ralph Gassard, of Pasadena; Miss Schellens, Ernest Pyles, of Long Beach; Miss O’Rourke, Lytel Larsen, of Anaheim; Miss Heinze, Harold Larson, of Los Angeles; Miss Degryse, William Matter, of Long Beach; Miss Crawford, Glen Hartranft, of Fullerton. The dates fixed for the various weddings were not announced. The burglar who has so actively pled his trade in this city during the past few years, but who has been laying off for a month is apparently back from a summer vacation and again on the job. Two residences on the east side were ransacked Saturday evening, the same system being used that has been employed here in all former burglaries. This man is an early evening visitor. Apparently he doesn’t believe in taking chances by entering a house when the owner is at home. He selects his house, waits patiently until the occupants go out for the evening, then breaks in and leisurely gathers up all the loose valuables. The homes of A. F. Withee and John Neuschafer in the east end of town were entered Saturday evening, but little of consequence was secured in the way of loot. The Neuschafer home was deserted, all the members of the family being down town shopping, but on arriving home at eight o’clock they found the house had been ransacked, everything in it being disarranged. Drawers had been pulled out and emptied on the floor, bed clothing dragged from the beds and strewn about and furniture upset. The thieves got little for their pains as no money or valuable jewelry was ever left on the premises. A few pieces of jewelry of small value were taken. Entrance was gained through the back door. At the Withee residence the burglary occurred between eight and nine o’clock, while members of the family were visiting at a neighbor’s house. The rear door had not been locked, so the thief had no difficulty in getting in. The same thorough search was made here as at the Neuschafer home. Contents of drawers were piled on the floor, beds disarranged and the entire house upset. About $25 worth of jewelry was carried away from here. A few other pieces of jewelry had been gathered together and left lying on a dresser. The thieves were evidently frightened away by the return of a family living in the rear and fled precipitately. On the same evening thieves broke into the residences of Mrs. Hetebrink and Mrs. Alex Henderson both on Orangethorpe avenue. Food was the only thing taken from these houses, the burglars evidently being hungry hoos. TALBERT IS MENTIONED OLD TIME RESIDENT CALLED BY DEATH Mrs. Mary Gade, a former well known citizen of Anaheim, died at her home in Seal Beach on Wednesday, July 11, at the age of 61, after a lingering illness. She was the wife of H. C. Gade, and sister of Godfrey Stock, of this city; Ben Stock, of Michigan; Mrs. R. C. Spoerl and Mrs. Gene Johnson. Mrs. Gade was born in Riga, Mich., and was married to Menry Gade at Anaheim in 1880. Of this union seven children were born—Laura Gade Kroger, of San Antonio, Texas; Vera Goetsch, Mabel Hamler, Georgia Litten (dee, Mabely Hamler, George Litten (deceased), Harriett Ellis, Thelma Edmunds and Herbert Gade). Besides her husband, Henry Gade, and children she is survived by seven grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Gade moved from Anaheim to Seal Beach when there were only a few homes there and established one in which many strangers was made to feel as welcome as their own children. The family have a host of friends both in Anaheim and Seal Beah who found in Mrs. Gade a true friend. Funeral services were held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlor in this city Friday afternoon, interment being in Anaheim cemetery. ABSOLVE DRIVER IN KILLING OF BOY, 11 Holding that the driver did everything possible to avoid an accident, a coroner's jury empanaled by Coroner C. D. Brown cleared V. C. Tindell, of Long Beach, of all blame in connection with the death of John Murrillo, 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Murrillo, of Buena Park. According to testimony given before the jury in Fullerton, the boy, in playing with an old tire, failed to heed warnings given by Tindell, who was motoring from Anaheim to Long Beach—when his car struck the child, near the intersection of the Anaheim-Long Beach and Hansen roads. Tindell declared he sounded his horn, slowed down, and attempted toswerve his car, but the child, apparently panic stricken, ran directly in front of the automobile. Murdoch Henry is considerably peeved over the activities of a thief on West Center street. Some weeks ago he stole a valuable plant from the lawn of his residence property, and last Thursday night he carried off half of a row of carnations. Saturday night he returned and took the balance of the row, also a sprinkler from a neighboring lawn. Frightened away by the return of a family living in the rear and fled precipitately. On the same evening thieves broke into the residences of Mrs. Hetebrink and Mrs. Alex Henderson, both on Orangethorpe avenue. Food was the only thing taken from these houses, the burglars evidently being hungry hobos. TALBERT IS MENTIONED FOR STATE SENATOR Reality Boards Organize County Association at a Barbecue Saturday The reality men of Orange county enjoyed an all day picnic at the county park Saturday. The day was given up mostly to sporting events and consuming barbecued meats, but at the business session T. B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, chairman of the board of supervisors, was elected president of the association, and Mr. Talbert was also mentioned as a candidate for state senator to succeed Walter Eden, who has moved out of the county. The grooming of the supervisors for the state senate came at the conclusion of a brief business session, when the county organization was created. Acknowledging the honor his colleagues would thrust upon him, Talbert explained that a "gentleman's agreement" existed between Riverside and Orange counties giving Riverside the privilege of naming the successor to Eden. Talbert's name was presented by J. C. Wallace, secretary of the Santa Ana board of realtors,and who was elected secretary-treasurer of the county body. A. E. Hargrove, of Anaheim, who acted as temporary chairman of the meeting, was made first vice-president of the associated realtors.

The meeting will be held at Huntington Beach, October 6. Women will be present. According to reports, the one hundred realtors present at the party had a lively time during the whole of the afternoon. Two baseball games were played between teams from the Santa Ana and Anaheim boards, with Anaheim winning both, the score being 11 to 12 in the first, and 10 to 9 in the second. Using twelve-ounce gloves, Talbert and McCain offered some real fun for the men who sell dirt and other things. Both men fanned the air a great deal and did no particular damage to each other. John Newcomer and Floyd Croddy, both of Santa Ana, also offered entertainment by putting on the gloves. Decision was given to the former. A four-round go between Tony Montoya and John Hernandez, semi-professionals, gave the spectators a real exhibition. A 50-yard race betyeen A. E. Hargrove, president of the Anaheim board, and F. C. Pope, president of the Santa Ana board, was won by Pope. A tug-of-war contest was won by a team cap- MONEY SECURED FOR BROADWAY HOTEL JOE SIEGEL TELEGRAPHS FROM SAN FRANCISCO THAT CAPITAL IS SUBSCRIBED Bay City Capitalists Think Anaheim is a Good Place for Investment—Siegel Announces That Work on the Five Story Structure Will Begin at Once—To Be Situated Just West of the Library—Will Be Finest Building in the County. Joe Siegel's mission to San Francisco, where he went to complete arrangements for his Broadway hotel, was completely successful, according to a wire which he sent down before beginning his journey home. There was never any doubt about the cash, and he succeeded in getting it without difficulty. He states that there will be no delay in beginning work on what will be the finest building in Orange county, and John Newcomer and Floyd Croddy, both of Santa Ana, also offered entertainment by putting on the gloves. Decision was given to the former. A four-round go between Tony Montoya and John Hernandez, semi-professionals, gave the spectators a real exhibition. A 50-yard race between A. E. Hargrove, president of the Anaheim board, and F. C. Pope, president of the Santa Ana board, was won by Pope. A tug-of-war contest was won by a team captained by J. E. Stewart, of Anaheim. Following these events, a barbecued steak supper claimed the attention of the picnickers, with Joe Wagner, of Anaheim preparing the steaks. The supper was prepared and served by members of the Anaheim board. Vocal selections by S. S. Harrralson and Robert Bradford and a native dance by an alleged former princess of the Hawaiian islands were features on the entertainment program preceding the business session. ANOTHER TILE PLANT FOR THIS SECTION Big Factory to Be Built on the Bastanchury Ranch. With the avowed intention of building up a big industry, the Clay Products company, with headquarters in Fullerton, is pushing preliminary details of organization and the construction of an $85,000 tile factory on a site at the southern edge of the Bastanchury ranch. Locally manufactured tile will be turned out of the completed factory by October of this year, officers of the organization predicted. The company has established offices in the California hotel building. Fullerton, where George R. Whitcomb, Anaheim orange grower, and four associates are directing organization plans. The company will be capitalized at $125,000, it was said. Whitcomb predicts a brilliant future for this newest manufacturing industry to locate in northern Orange county. The rich natural resources which the district offers for the brick and tile industry assure the company's ability to meet outside competition upon more than even terms, he declares. In this connection, he disclosed startling figures in regard to the brick and tile consumption in Orange county. By actual count recently, thirty truck loads of brick and tile passed Anahiem street between 10 and 12 miles old son of Mr. Joe Siegel's mission to San Francisco, where he went to complete arrangements for his Broadway hotel, was completely successful, according to a wire which he sent down before beginning his journey home. There was never any doubt about the cash, and he succeeded in getting it without difficulty.

It is to be built on the library block, adjoining the library property on the west, will be five stories high and cover 130x140 feet. The second, third and fourth stories are to be devoted to hotel and apartment purposes, with a lobby on the ground floor. With the exception of the lobby the entire first floor is to be cut into business rooms. This is the first business block of any consequence to be constructed on Broadway, and in all probability others will follow the example and a portion of that thoroughfare turned int oa business street. Plans for the building have not yet been made public, but it is promised that all the latest conveniences in hot-turned into a business street.

Brown, representative of the Automobile Club of Southern California at Orange, the car approached the tracks from the west. The freight train was going north, but because of the county hospital building, the view at the crossing was obstructed. When C. L. Fields, the driver, saw that if he attempted to cross the tracks the car would hit "head-on," he attempted to steer the automobile along the side of the track until the train could come to a halt. The car was hit and the occupants violently pitched out, the report set forth. The car was insured by the Automobile Club of Southern California.

The company's estimate of $85,000 as the cost of its plant, exclusive of real estate, is based upon tentative bids. In addition to building the factory, it will be necessary to construct about 800 feet of concrete highway. Engineers have just completed a survey of the factory site and projected road. FOUR MEN INJURED IN RAILWAY COLLISION One man was in the county hospital and four others were at their respective homes at Orange recovering from the injuries and shock sustained when the automobile in which they were riding, near the county hospital, on the Garden Grove road, was demolished by a Southern Pacific train Monday afternoon.
