WOMAN KILLED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT MRS. U. G. TOLLE DIES AT SANITARIUM FROM INJURIES RECEIVED SUNDAY Two Others Seriously Injured, but are Reported Out of Dahger—Three Cars Mixed Up in a Smashup on Lincoln Avenue Sunday Afternoon—Elimination of Motorcycle Cops by Supreme Court Decision Leaves The Highways Wide Open. Mrs. U. G. Tolle of Long Beach, died at the Anaheim Sanitarium at 10 o'clock Monday morning from injuries received in an automobile accident at Lincoln Avenue and Buena Park road Sunday afternoon. Her husband, U. G. Tolle, and daughter, Mrs. Walter Thorpe, are both at the sanitarium suffering from serious injuries, each having sustained a fractured skull when the Ford car in which the family was traveling was overturned in a collision with a big Auburn car driven by R. L. Bufcher, also of Long Beach. salary warrant for such appointees; it was stated. In all quarters expressions of apprehension were heard with reference to the effect of the ruling upon public safety. Everywhere the situation was viewed as a crisis, a calamity. That speedy demoralization of traffic will result was the consensus. It was felt that to venture forth upon the highways in the future will be to court disaster from the reckless element, free of restraint while the "lid is off." Driving on public highways henceforth will be "keeping a rendezvous with death," one official declared. Meanwhile official circles and the public generally were hoping against hope that some way might be found out of the difficulty and thus avoid waiting for the next legislature to correct the law when it convenes two years hence. In the absence of the regular state patrol District Attorney A. P. Nelson was said to be making every reasonable effort to find a way out of the dilemma confronting Orange County authorities. "Until I have had time to investigate the matter thoroughly, I will be unable to issue a definite statement concerning the absence of the state patrol," said Nelson. "I desire to consult the highest authorities in Los Angeles and elsewhere before taking definite measures to protect our highways." In Riverside County, however, it is understood the board of supervisors, at the Anaheim Santa Fe at 10 o'clock Monday morning from injuries received in an automobile accident at Lincoln Avenue and Buena Park road Sunday afternoon. Her husband, U. G. Tolle, and daughter, Mrs. Walter Thorpe, are both at the sanitarium suffering from serious injuries, each having sustained a fractured skull when the Ford car in which the family was traveling was overturned in a collision with a big Auburn car driven by R. L. Bufcher, also of Long Beach. Three cars were concerned in the emashup. According to Phillip Thorpe, who was mixed up in the accident the Ford car was bumped into by a small ruhabout at the street intersection, and in trying to escape the runabout the Ford crashed into the passing Auburn. A Huddle ambulance brought the victims into the city where they received medical attention it was found that Mrs. Tolle, who was an aged woman, was fatally injured, and her death occurred the next morning. The body was immediately taken to Long Beach. Mr. Tolle and Mrs. Thorpe are expected to recover. This is only one of the first of a long list of accidents that may be expected since the Supreme Court's interpretation of the last adopted motor vehicle law, eliminates all motor cops who have heretofore patrolled the highways, because the law makes no provision for their payment. The speed maniac and the half-crazed guzzler of moonshine booze can now madly career along the highways without danger of arrest. Four state traffic officers assigned to duty in this county were wondering how they might collect their three months' salary that they have earned but which is not forthcoming; also wondering whether their services will be needed again. Such was the situation prevailing, not only in Orange county, but throughout the state, following the announcement that the salary provision of the new state motor vehicle law had been declared unconstitutional. The salary ruling, made by the northern district court of appeals on a test case brought by a Sacramento county traffic officer, brought instant collapse of the entire state patrol system. The motor-cop was automatically eliminated. Promptly upon receipt of the court ruling, Will H. Marsh, head of the state motor vehicle department, ordered traffic officers throughout the state to cease activities "until further CITRUS PACKING HOUSE BUILDING BIG ADDITION Work has been started on the new $40,000 addition to the packing house of the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association on the Southern Pacific tracks and Lincoln Avenue. The work is being done by day labor under the direction of Hamm & Grant, Inc., industrial engineers of Los Angeles, who supervised the construction of the original packing house, which is regarded as one of the most complete in Orange County. The addition to the building will be one story and basement, 60 by 93 feet. The basement floor and walls will be of concrete, with wood posts and girders supporting the wooden floor above. The frame above the basement walls will be of structural steel and reinforced concrete with hollow tile filled walls and sheathing roof. The contractors have already laid out the new machinery and will supervise its installation. The equipment consisting of a new washer, dryer, sorting tables, fruit elevators, box stackers, shook belts and electric motors, will be furnished by the Stebler Parker Company of Riverside. This Association handles more fruit than any other association in Anaheim, having shipped 875 cars during the past season. Next year's run is estimated at 1100 cars.

WALNUT GROWER PAY F That the walnut gral California have good thankful at this p indicated by an an The salary ruling, made by the northern district court of appeals on a test case brought by a Sacramento county traffic officer, brought instant collapse of the entire state patrol system. The motor-cop was automatically eliminated. Promptly upon receipt of the court ruling, Will H. Marsh, head of the state motor vehicle department, ordered traffic officers throughout the state to cease activities "until further notice." The order was carried out here Wednesday evening and Orange county went without protection for its Thanksgiving traffic. Now the motorcycle officers, some of them having already discarded their uniforms, are discussing the situation with District Attorney A. P. Nelson and other local authorities as to a "way out." The motorcycle officers had been hard hit personally, by the railing, it was pointed out. Besides supplying themselves with their uniforms and other equipment they have served under state direction since September 1 without pay expecting the test case to adjust matters so that their salaries could be paid up in full when a ruling cleared the way. Losing the case, they also face loss of the salaries. There appeared to be no remedy for the situation which leaves this and other counties without traffic protection, according to District Attorney Nelson, Sheriff Sam Jernigan and other authorities. The county has no authority to appoint traffic officers, it was said, and County Auditor W. C. Jerome would be compelled to refuse to honor TOO MUCH WET GOODS Mrs. Anna St. Clair, of Anaheim Landing, who, with her husband, Thomas St. Clair, was arrested in a liquor raid by county and federal officers, pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of liquor when arraigned before Justice J. B. Cox, who set her trial for January 8 at 2 P.M. W. J. Gleason, arrested in the same raid, appeared on a similar charge and pleaded not guilty. His trial was set for the same date as that of Mrs. St. Clair. Gleason was released under $300 ball, which he posted following his arrest. Mrs. St. Clair was unable to provide ball and was remanded to jail. Her husband is also held in jail. Under Sheriff E. E. French, Deputies Dan Adams and Louis Heffner and Constable J. L. Elliott took part in the raid Saturday night, co-operating with San Pedro police officers and Federal Prohibition Agents Cole, Tyco, Crane and Hutchinson. Expenditures for the Department of Agriculture have grown from $3,000,000 in 1900 to $156,000,000 in 1923, a rate of increase many times as great as any other branch of the Government. Evidently the farmers have not been overlooked. That the walnut grower California have good thankful at this point indicated by an announcement to the effect mailed out to local walnut growers the current season's ments.

Tichnor, Grand Esteemed Leading Knight, Delivers an Impressive Address—Schmidt's Orchestra Leads in the Musical Program—Names of Eight Members Added to the Death Roll Since the Service a Year Ago—Large Audience In Attendance. One of the most beautiful ceremonies ever witnessed is the "Lodge of Sorrow," or the ritualistic service held annually by the Elks lodge in memory of departed members. To this ceremony all are invited, and those who attend learn much about the lodge and its objects, and after witnessing the beautiful rites have a higher respect for the great order that is built on a foundation of benevolence, charity and patriotism, and never shirks when opportunity to carry out its principles presents it to do the book work necessary in apportioning the payments among the respective growers. The first pool closed for shipments November 20. It found a satisfactory market in nearly all parts of the country. The Association has, by a special effort, been able to distribute first pool payments this season as early as it has made such distribution in former years, and much earlier than the payments have gone out some years in the past: Local walnut packing house managers in the walnut growing districts have been urged by Mr. Thorpe, in a special communication, to exert every effort to get the final payment to the ranchers without delay. The first pool was somewhat larger than the Association directors expected. It ran, according to Mr. Thorpe, about 35,000 bags in excess of the estimates made by packing house managers early in the harvest season. NEW HALL OF RECORDS With the major part of the construction work completed indications today were that Orange County’s beautiful new $206,000 hall of records will be ready for occupancy by February 1, according to County Clerk, J. M. Backs. "We had hoped," said Backs, "that we would be able to have the building ready for occupancy by January 1, but this seems impossible. Indications TERMINAL RATES DEMANDED BY ANAHEIM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PETITION RAILROADS FOR A LOW ER FREIGHT RATE Three Great Systems Running Tracks Into the City, and People Believe Some Benefit Should be Derived—Petition Presented Monday to Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific—Other Organizations Backing the Chamber of Commerce. With three great railroad systems running their tracks into Anaheim the people here believe they should reap an advantage in lower freight rates, and a campaign has been started to secure terminal rates. The Chamber of Commerce Monday presented formal application to the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific for reduction in rates, and the petition of this body will be backed up by other organizations and business institutions.

Services this year were held at the club house by the Anaheim Lodge and the splendid program was enjoyed by a large audience. The Anaheim lodge was fortunate in securing as the speaker Harry M. Tichnor, Grand Esteemed Leading Knight, who holds the second highest office in Elkdom. Many other lodges invited Mr. Tichnor to deliver the address for them on that day, but he preferred to mingle with the Anaheim Elks, and address an Anaheim audience. He made an impressive talk, which profoundly interested the big audience. Special honor was paid to members of the Anaheim lodge who have died since the last memorial service. These members are: George Leach, H. A. Morton, Harry Winkled, W. H. Crowther, J. D. Lavin, J. B. Andrews. The program follows: "Guard of Honor March," Orchestra.

WALNUT GROWERS GET PAY FOR FIRST POOL That the walnut growers of Southern California have good reason to be thankful at this particular time is indicated by an announcement from NEW HALL OF RECORDS With the major part of the construction work completed indications today were that Orange County's beautiful new $206,000 hall of records will be ready for occupancy by February 1, according to County Clerk, J. M. Backs. "We had hoped," said Backs, "that we would be able to have the building ready for occupancy by January 1, but this seems impossible. Indications are, however, that the interior will be finished and furnished in time for the new tenants to take possession by the first week in February." According to tentative plans the new building will relieve much of the congestion that has existed at the county court house for many months. This congestion, due to Orange county's rapid growth, has been acute in certain departments. In the new building there will be ample space for a number of departments now badly overcrowded. These include the county treasurer, county recorder, county tax collector and others. Superintendent R. P. Mitchell, hear of county schools, will also have his office in the new building, as will the county farm advisor. In addition, there will be ample quarters for the superior court, department No. 3, the superintendent of county highways and the sealer of weights and measures. Miss Margaret Livingston, county librarian, is looking forward with keen anticipation to the spacious quarters which will be assigned her and her assistants in the county's new home. It is also probable that County Horizultural Commissioner A. A. Brock will be provided office space in the new building. Those who have inspected the hall of records pronounce it one of the finest structures of the kind in the Southland. PAVING PROGRAM A paving program has been completed by the county board of supervisors, according to Leon O. Whitsell, supervisor, whereby December 26 has been set as the date for opening bids for resurfacing the Orange-Olive boulevard from the Orange city limits to Olive. The road, which is the main travelled thoroughfare between Orange and the inland cities—Corona, Riverside and San Bernardino—has been in bad reapant in lower freight rates, and a campaign has been started to secure terminal rates. The Chamber of Commerce Monday presented formal application, to the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific for reduction in rates, and the petition of this body will be backed up by other organizations and business institutions. Anaheim, it is pointed out, is one of the five cities in Southern California served by the three transcontinental lines. Riverside, Pasadena, Los Angeles and San Bernardo are also served by all three roads. If the terminal rate is established here—that is, if freight can be loaded on a spur of one line and shipped over the other line without additional cost to the shipper—Anaheim will have unlimited possibilities to offer as inducements for the location of large factories. The Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific lines are now connected by spur tracks, but under the present plan, freight loaded for Fullerton on the Southern Pacific tracks must be shipped to Los Angeles and back to Fullerton. This condition has been the principal stumbling-block toward locating industries here in the past, it is said. The Union Pacific right of way now extends to within ninety feet of the Southern Pacific tracks, and officials of the Union, Pacific are said to be anxious to make the connection. After the chamber committee presents its formal request, other organizations of Anaheim will follow the lead and a stranuous campaign will be waged. The matter will probably be carried to the state railroad commission eventually, it is said. RESOLUTION COMMEND H. S. FOOTBALL COACH Chamber of Commerce Directors Hand Them a Bouquet. Resolutions commending A. E. Fitzmorris and L. E. Sutherland, coaches of the high school football team were adopted by the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and mailed to those gentlemen Saturday. The resolutions were as follows: Whereas you have achieved such a remarkable success with the boys of the Anaheim union high school, many of whom have never played football before; and Whereas you have instilled into these young men a fine spirit of sports- WALNUT GROWERS GET PAY FOR FIRST POOL That the walnut growers of Southern California have good reason to be thankful at this particular time is indicated by an announcement from the California Walnut Growers Association to the effect that it has just mailed out to local associations of walnut growers the final payment for the current season's first pool shipments. According to Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the association between $9,000,000 and $10,000,000 has been distributed among the grower members during the past six weeks. This amount has just been rounded out by the mailing of checks for approximately $500,000 which winds up the pool, Mr. Thorpe says. The total selling charge to the growers by the Association, including trade discounts, and advertising, was 5½ per cent of the gross value of the shipments, which is generally conceded to be the lowest selling cost of any nonperishable product produced in the state. This sum of money represents the major portion of the 1923 walnut crop handled by the Association. The growers have already received most of the money that has been paid on first pool shipments, and the checks mailed today will reach the growers as soon as the officers of all local associations have had an opportunity A paving program has been completed by the county board of supervisors, according to Leon O. Whitsell, supervisor, whereby December 26 has been set as the date for opening bids for resurfacing the Orange-Olive boulevard from the Orange city limits to Olive. The road, which is the main travelled thoroughfare between Orange and the inland cities—Corona, Riverside and San Bernardino—has been in bad shape due to the breaking up of the present paving. When completed the road will be like new, adding to the fame of the Orange county boulevards. The work will be done under the county good roads fund, it was said. Whitsell also bared plans for paving the Stearns road from the Orange county hospital, north of Chapman Avenue, to the Anaheim-Garden Grove road, making a paved short cut from Orange and surrounding towns to Seal Beach and Long Beach. The road is approximately three miles in length and will be paved with concrete, which, it was pointed out, has superior lasting qualities over the asphalt type. Work, which is expected to commence within the next few months, will be accomplished under the road district improvement act. The program also calls for the paving by the county of Tustin Street, at the city outskirts, from Chapman Avenue to Seventeenth Street, Santa Ana, and Fairhaven Avenue from Grand Avenue to Prospect Avenue, completing a network of paved highways for traffic from the outlying districts. Morris and L. E. Sutherland, coaches of the high school football team were adopted by the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and mailed to those gentlemen Saturday. The resolutions were as follows: "Whereas you have achieved such a remarkable success with the boys of the Anaheim union high school, many of whom have never played football before; and Whereas you have instilled into these young men a fine spirit of sportsmanship and a desire to play the game fairly, and a love of their home school; Therefore, be it resolved that we, the directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, express to you our appreciation of the work you have done; of the favorable publicity you have given Anaheim through your efforts; and that we endorse your work, not only for building sportsmanlike men, but for building men of character, and Be it further resolved, that the directors give their assurance to the boys who have worked so faithfully and hard to establish this reputation, that we look to them as the ones who will, a few years hence, battle with the problems of the city with equal success."

ANAHEIM WOMAN KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Mrs. George Roberts Meets Death While on a Thanksgiving Outing Mrs. George Roberts, wife of the foreman of the Herald composing room, was instantly killed in an auto collision fifteen miles from Bakersfield last Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were on their way to Bakersfield to spend Thanksgiving with Mr. Roberts' parents. They were driving in a Paige car, and when nearing their destination collided with a heavy truck. Mr. Roberts drove round a slow-traveling car just ahead of him, but failed to see the truck, LABOR TEMPLE TO BE BUILT IN ANAHEIM UNIONS OF THE COUNTY PLANNING FOR SPLENDID STRUCTURE IN THIS CITY Committee Appointed to Select a Site and Perfect Plans for a Building to Cost $100,000—Money to be Raised by the Sale of Bonds—Work Progressing Toward the Establishment of a Labor Union Bank Here. Anaheim is to be the home of one of the finest labor temples in the west. This was decided at a meeting of the Orange County Council at the Temple here Monday night. It was agreed to make Anaheim the central point or headquarters of the labor unions of the county, and to erect here a temple costing at least $100,000. The money will be raised by the issuance of bonds which will be sold only to members of the various trades unions. There are thousands of union men in the county, and no difficulty is anticipated in selling the bonds, as they will undoubtedly be a good invest- Mrs. George Roberts, wire of the foreman of the Herald composing room, was instantly killed in an auto collision fifteen miles from Bakersfield last Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were on their way to Bakersfield to spend Thanksgiving with Mr. Roberts' parents. They were driving in a Paige car, and when nearing their destination collided with a heavy truck. Mr. Roberts drove round a slow-traveling car just ahead of him, but failed to see the truck, driven by Harry Gredes of Los Angeles, which was partially in the way. Mrs. Roberts' neck was broken by the impact, and she died instantly. The driver of the truck was arrested and placed in the Bakersfield jail, but was later released. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts were married five months ago, and came here from Arizona two months ago. The dead woman is survived by her husband, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wagner, of Ashfork Ariz., a sister, Mrs. J. J. Taylor, of Bakersfield, and a brother, W. W. Wagner of Fresno. Funeral services were held Saturday at St. Patrick's church, Bakersfield, and the remains were buried in Fresno. AN AUTO LAUNDRY A. Bayliss, who owns a spraying outfit and operates it during the open season for bugs, has established an automobile laundry at his place on East Center Street, where he occupies his spare time during the closed season rejuvenating dirty and tired autos. He does every thing to them except re-enameling, and in a few hours turns a decropit machine out snorting for action. Mr. Bayliss is now engaged in building a filling station at the entrance to his yards, and will have it in operation in less than two weeks. There are two or three other stations operating in the immediate vicinity, but he thinks the number of automobiles is increasing faster than the stations, and besides he is going to handle gasoline supplied by the Eureka people who are establishing a distributing station here, and are furnishing gas that is gaining a high reputation among autoists. AUCTION IN ANAHEIM Mr. Ray Fisher, the well known and popular contractor and builder of Anaheim, will sell his property at 535 Orange County Council at the Temple here Monday night. It was agreed to make Anaheim the central point or headquarters of the labor unions of the county, and to erect here a temple costing at least $100,000. The money will be raised by the issuance of bonds which will be sold only to members of the various trades unions. There are thousands of union men in the county, and no difficulty is anticipated in selling the bonds, as they will undoubtedly be a good investment. A committee composed of H. G. Archibald, E. M. Henshaw and W. H. Kelsey was appointed to select a site and perfect plans for the building, report to be made at the next meeting. After the committee's report is received immediate steps will be taken to float the bonds and begin work on the structure, which will be one of the finest labor temples in the entire country. In addition to the temple Anaheim will in all probability soon have a labor union bank, a branch of the central bank to be opened in Los Angeles on January 15. There are only a few labor union banks in the United States, but they have proven profitable investments to the stockholders, and of great benefit to the card men. It is probable that suitable quarters for the bank will be provided in the temple building. PANTALOON BURGLAR AGAIN AT ORANGE Playing a return engagement, the "pantaloon bandit," who recently victimized a number of homes, almost causing a run on barrels, revisited Orange over Thanksgiving, police reported. Discarding his shoes and socks, the elusive prowler entered the E. R. Mardin home at 521 North Cypress street, rummaged around a bit and emerged with a pair of trousers. Outdoors the bandit leisurely ransacked the pockets, extracted about $5 in silver, then, tossing the garment on the front porch, departed for other fields. Mardin, slumbering peacefully, was not disturbed by the burglar, who in securing the pantaloons from a chair passed within a few feet of where he was resting. Mardin rescued the trousers from the front porch next morning. Officer W. W. Mayer, who investigated discovered barefoot imprints on AUCTION IN ANAHEIM Mr. Ray Fisher, the well known and popular contractor and builder of Anaheim, will sell his property at 535 Lemon Street at auction next Saturday. This place was built by Mr. Fisher for a home but to better care for other interests he decided to dispose of this property. The services of W. Dwight Hammond the successful real-estate auctioneer of Los Angeles have been secured and Anaheim people will have an opportunity to see in actual operation this modern method of disposing of real estate which has become so popular of late years in Los Angeles and other large cities of the country. Some of the largest deals of the country are conducted in this manner and it has the advantage of being fair to both buyer and seller since it leaves the question of value to the popular judgement of the buyers assembled. Anyone desiring home or investment in Anaheim might do well to attend this sale. SUGAR FACTORIES HERE NOT HIT BY RULING Sugar factories in Orange County will not be effected by the recent decision of the United States supreme court, upholding the crop contract the pockets, extracted about $5 in silver, then, tossing the garment on the front porch, departed for other fields. Mardin, slumbering peacefully, was not disturbed by the burglar, who in securing the pantaloons from a chair passed within a few feet of where he was resting. Mardin rescued the trousers from the front porch next morning. Officer W. W. Meyer, who investigated, discovered barefoot imprints on the soft dirt near the house, indicating the visitor was a man of medium stature. The theft in his haste overlooked a coat on a chair near by, containing a large amount in bills, it was reported. A few doors away, it was reported, the "pantaloon bandit" again attempted to ply his trade, but was frightened away by the house wife who, awakened by the prowler, shouted, "Who's there?" The bandit fled without trousers, save his own, possibly. amendment to the alien land law, according to statements by mangers of the factories. While reports from San Francisco indicate that Japanese have cancelled contracts for crops on approximately 200,000 acres in the state, it was said here that no contracts are held by the local sugar companies with alien Japanese. C. A. Johnson, manager of the Holly Sugar company interests in the county, stated that his company had contracts with a few Japanese who had been Americanized.
