BROWN HEARING IS FIXED FOR JAN'Y 2 MYERS BIBLE CLASS FAILED TO GET A DATE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Three Attorneys will Probably Take a Hand in the Affair, and an Interesting Session is Predicted—Expected that The Case Will Last Two Days—Judge Brown Expects to Refute All the Charges and Clear Himself. Efforts of the Myers Men's Bible Class of the Christian Church to have the hearing of Judge G. B. Brown, charged with dereliction of duty, held before Christmas, in order that he might be ousted from office and a dry man installed in his seat before the holidays, thus insuring a drouthy Christmas time according to reckoning of the accusers, failed to materialize. The trustees have set the hear- ORANGE COUNTY ONCE BED OF THE OCEAN Dr. David Starr Jordan Unearths Fossil Remains Here. Definitely establishing the fact that Orange County contains some of the most promising fossil beds in the world and stressing the point that high school, junior colleges and universities are thus afforded a rare opportunity to make minute investigations with a minimum of inconvenience, Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland Stanford university, and an imposing army of scientists has returned to Los Angeles, following a highly important visit to Trabuco canyon. This visit, according to Dr. Jordan, proves, in large measure, what prehistoric water mammals swam over the mountains of Orange County from five to eight million years ago. Headed by S. Maus Purple, well-known scientist, whose finds in recent years have been regarded as extremely important, and include petrified forests, antedeluvian horses and 100-foot sharks, the party arrived in Orange Wednesday for noon. Here they were joined by Postmaster T. E. Stephenson, Robert N. Northcross, W. A. Dyer, J. R. Bruff and others. In the vicinity of the old adobe in Trabuco canyon the scientists spent the major part of the afternoon in Efforts of the Myers Men's Bible Class of the Christian Church to have the hearing of Judge G. B. Brown, charged with dereliction of duty, held before Christmas, in order that he might be ousted from office and a dry man installed in his seat before the holidays, thus insuring a drouthy Christmas time according to reckoning of the accusers, failed to materialize. The trustees have set the hearing for the day following the New Year, and if the police run in any moonshiners, bootleggers or drunks during the holidays Brown will sit in judgment on them. Rev. Leon Myers and his followers will no doubt have an attorney on hand to present the evidence which they are presumed to have accumulated proving that the Judge is not strict enough in his interpretation of the law, and that many malefactors escape punishment because of his lenency. Brown may also have an attorney to defend him, and City Attorney, H. V. Weisel will handle the case for the trustees. It is estimated that the case will drag through two days, as Brown is not disposed to lay down and let his accusers get judgment by default. What evidence Brown's accusers will present in support of their contention is not yet known, and this paper is not disposed to pass judgment until the evidence is made public. The Bible Class, however was unjust in its original complaint, because comparison, was made between the records of business in the Anaheim Court with those of Judge Cox's Court in Santa Ana and Judge French's in Fullerton, proving by these figures that Brown was not as zealous in the discharge of his duty as his two compatriots. This comparison was manifestly unfair. Three-fourths of the justice business of the county passes through Judge Cox's Court at Santa Ana. Only a couple of weeks ago the judge revolted and refused to handle a number of cases, stating that there were several justices in the county and it was unfair to bring all the business into his court. All the cops go into his court, persons arrested by the county traffic. Comparison with the business transacted in Judge French's Court at Fullerton is also unjust, because the police of that town, it is reported, spend their time endeavoring to hang a complaint on somebody who has headed by S. Maus Purple, well-known scientist, whose finds in recent years have been regarded as extremely important, and include petrified forests, antedeluvian horses and 100-foot sharks, the party arrived in Orange Wednesday forenoon. Here they were joined by Postmaster T. E. Stephenson, Robert N. Northcross, W. A. Dyer, J. R. Bruff and others. In the vicinity of the old adobe in Trabuco canyon the scientists spent the major part of the afternoon in close investigation of many of the spots designated by Northcross, Stephenson and Dyer, all of whom possess an intimate knowledge of the rich deposits to be found in the hills. The party included: Dr. David Starr Jordan, world's foremost authority on fishes; Dr. A. J. Trege, noted authority on shells and now conchologist of the Los Angeles Museum; F. Maus Purple, well known scientist; Dr. R. R. Snowden, of the Society for the Advancement of Science; Dr. J. Z. Gilbert, conchologist; Dr. Frank Dyer, Dr. George P. Clements, scientific department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce; Mrs. J. M. Scott and Miss Josephine Scott, Los Angeles; and Robert Northcross, Jr. and Teddy Stephenson of Santa Ana. Among the numerous finds recorded by the scientists were the fossil of a whale's rib, many huge oyster shells, hundreds of small shells, shark teeth, vertebrae of known and unknown sea animals and other odds and ends of scientific material which, according to Dr. Jordan, establish the fact that at one time, millions of years ago, most of Southren California was at the bottom of the sea. Dr. Jordan said many of the oyster shells found near Trabuco were the largest he had ever seen. Dr. Jordan, established the fact that this rich deposit bed "is not near Leland Stanford university, where it would be absolutely incapable to the classes specializing in geology." Dr. Dyer and Dr. Clements, inquiring particularly as to whether Santa Ana High or junior college have geology classes, said this field furnishes Orange County high schools with an opportunity enjoyed by few schools on the Pacific coast. Dr. Trege, commenting upon the discoveries, said that the fossil of the whale's rib is of the Miocene period, the time of the three-toed horse, somewhere between five and eight million years old. Responding to a call by J. S. Howard, pre-Harding Club, and my County Central Committee of Republicans met at Howard Realty Co., organized a Coolidge club. Quite a number attended the initial meeting the roll, and it is before the convention land next June a large Republican voters of male-and female, who names on the member Organization of the platoon by the election Howard as president, as vice president, Blair retary, and W. E. Alexa Both Howard and Jessie bers of the Republican Committee. The following was a platform of the club: "Endorsing the career manner in which Calvin conducted both national affairs since being Chief Executive States, and believing that guidance of the country with the straightforward plans for the presider congress." "We, the undersign pledge our support to Calvin Coolidge for on the Republican ticket of the United States as we our support in woe and individually, as r Anaheim Coolidge-for-Jessurun was appointing the committee on mem Clairmont, chairman committee, and Frank man of a special com-ming place.

All the cops go into his court. persons arrested by the county traffic Comparison with the business transacted in Judge French's Court at Fullerton is also unjust, because the police of that town, it is reported, spend their time endeavoring to hang a complaint on somebody who has violated an insignificant provision of one of the asinine laws on the statute books. And when they get into court the judge cheerfully hands them a sentence as large as the traffic will bear. One irate lady whose car halted in the middle of Anaheim several days ago gave vent to her indignation regrading Fullerton thusly: "Our car was stopped three times before we got through that beastly town and all our effects overhauled by the police," she said. "One search was an insult, but I consider three an outrage. They looked so disappointed when they failed to find anything that would justify them in firing us that I wouldn't have been surprised if they arrested us for trespassing. Never again will we drive through that town." Anaheim isn't desirous of advertising to the motoring public that it is a good town to go around, but the Myers Class accuses Brown of discharging persons undeniably guilty of violating the speed law. These laws were made for the purpose of safeguarding the life and limbs of the millions of people who daily congest the streets and highways, and the reckless individual guilty of violating one of them should be given the extreme limit. Dr. Trege, commenting upon the discoveries, said that the fossil of the whale's rib is of the Miocene period, the time of the three-toed horse, somewhere between five and eight million years ago. The scientists also found evidence of three former shorelines. Intimating that another visit will be paid Orange County, several of the scientists said they were taking back with them to Los Angeles much information that will aid them very materially in their research work. This work includes the never-ending search to discover what subterranean disturbances millions of years ago in the Miocene and Pliocene ages upheaved the mountains from their ocean bed and, with them, the remains of tremendously great whales, giant sloths and other unknown creatures. Further investigation, it was believed will disclose tusks, bones, teeth, vertebrae and other treasures just as they were left, at the time, in the uncounted centuries that are hidden in the blackness of the uncharted past. In testimony before a Senate committee while he was Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo declared that the soldiers must never ask for pensions, inasmuch as they were getting higher pay and insurance facilities never enjoyed by soldiers of previous wars. Now he is advocating a special bond issue to pay a bonus. It is McAdoo's way of buying votes with the taxpayers millions in the Treasury.

Haled before Justice J. B. Cox, he waived preliminary hearing and was immediately arraigned before Judge Drumm, where he again waived time for pleading, entered his plea of guilty, and waived time for pronouncing judgment. Nava had expressed a desire to "have it over" and was expecting a long prison sentence, it was said. The order for the surgical operation visibly shocked him, however, and he protested to the court without success. Nava was sent to Folsom instead of San Quentin because of a previous felony conviction. He was found guilty by a jury in connection with the Saltana murder at La Habra about a year ago and was placed on probation.

PROMINENT FOR A. A. Mills, Caused A. A. Mills, the most acti zons of northern Monday morning Supporting Coolidge. Responding to a call issued by Judge J. S. Howard, president of the Harding Club, and member of the County Central Committee, a number of Republicans met at the office of the Howard Realty Co. Wednesday and organized a Coolidge-for-President club. Quite a number of Republicans attended the initial meeting and signed the roll, and it is expected that before the convention meets in Cleveland next June a large majority of the Republican voters of this section, both male and female, will have their names on the membership roll. Organization of the club was completed by the election of Judge J. S. Howard as president, David Jessurun as vice president, Blaine Gibson, secretary, and W. E. Alexander treasurer. Both Howard and Jessurun are members of the Republican County Central Committee. The following was adopted as the platform of the club: "Endorsing the careful yet forceful manner in which Calvin Coolidge has conducted both national and international affairs since suddenly becoming Chief Executive of the United States, and believing that the future of the nation depends upon the similar guidance of the country in accordance with the straightforward promises and plans for the president's message to congress. "We, the undersigned, do hereby pledge our support to the candidacy of Calvin Coolidge for the nomination on the Republican ticket as president of the United States and further pledge our support in work, collectively and individually, as members of the Anaheim Coolidge-for-President club." Jessurun was appointed chairman of the committee on membership, Harold Clairmont, chairman of the finance committee, and Frank Tausch, chairman of a special committee to select a meeting place. They are empowered to name their own associates. Believing that the mantle of the lamented Harding has fallen upon the shoulders of Mr. Coolidge, that he is in full accord with the great reconstruction policies of the late president, Republicans of Anaheim are of opinion that there should be no opposition to him at Cleveland. They present the advent into the ring of that perennial candidate, Hiram Johnson, who has been an old man of the sea on the neck of the California Republicans for many years, and many of influential supporters are tested to the court without success. Nava was sent to Folsom instead of San Quentin because of a previous felony conviction. He was found guilty by a jury in connection with the Saltane murder at La Habra about a year ago and was placed on probation. Since his rrest Nava has also confessed to committing four filling station robberies and hold-ups recently in the Downey district, the sheriff's office announced. He persistently denies that he was implicated in the Saltana case, however. Suspicion that he was guilty of a recent attack upon a young matron at Belvedere Gardens, where he lived for a time, was dropped when it was learned that he has been in San Diego and the border district for several months. Nava, who is said to be a Yaqui Indian, has a wife living at La Habra, it is said. His mother also resides there. The attack upon the Japanese girl was committed late Tuesday. Navalured the child to a field, from her home and tiny playmates and while her parents were absent. Upon her return two hours later a physician's examination of injuries, which will not prove serious, it was said, was declared to have verified the girl's story. Nava was captured by deputy sheriffs several hours later. It was in the county jail that he signed the asserted assault confession, it was learned. PIONEER CELEBRATES EIGHTY-NINTH BIRTHDAY Adams Family Hold Reunion in Honor of Aged Father. Coming as a signal for expressions of affection and high regard, the eighty-ninth birthday of Capt. P. T. Adams Tustin pioneer, brought to this well-known citizen a huge bouquet of beautiful flowers from his brother Elks and an assemblage of his relatives, both near and "In-laws." Capt. Adams ranks as the oldest member of Santa Ana Elks lodge, which lodge he joined May 18, 1903. It is a coincidence, too, that it is his eighty-ninth birthday that has just been celebrated, and he is No. 89 on the books of the lodge. Sunday, the passing of the eighty-ninth milestone brought together at the county park, for a reunion and for the enjoyment of a barbecued steak dinner, some twenty-eight members of the "tribes." Capt. Adams genially tested to the court without success. White Men will Raise Peppers. The recent supreme court decision upholding the California allen land law, was a death blow to our little brown brothers from Japan who for many years past have been so successful in rooting themselves into the soil in practically every section of the state. Orange County has a large Japanese population, most of them being tillers of the soil, and it is reported that they are all gathering up their doll rags and preparing for an exodus. Only one store in Anaheim is now owned and controlled by Japanese, and most of the produce sold in it is grown on a ranch in possession of the owners of the store. If The Okamota family, owners of the store, also own the ranch, they will be compelled under the new law to sell the real estate within a prescribed time and retire from business.. Trustee Howard Gates, who has been an uncompromising opponent of the Japanese invasion, has long dreamed of the day, when he would see the Japs fold up their tents and leave California, and now he is congratulating himself because his dream has come true. Just how many Japs there are in Orange County is not positively known. The census figures recording the Jap population are unreliable, because they can not be trusted to give an accurate return, but their exodus will leave a big void that must be filled by white men. Most of the vegetables now, sold on the market are grown by Japs, and somebody must step into the vacant place and supply the market. It is reported that the Jap growers and dealers throughout the state are canceling all orders for products grown or handled by them. Garden Grove, the greatest chili producing section in the world, is wondering who will carry on next year, as most of the peppers marketed from that region are grown by Japs. White men are preparing to take over the industry, and it is believed the output will not be curtailed. Floyd Keallher, who purchases a large portion of the Jan crop, is preparing to put out 200 acres himself, and other white men will undoubtedly take over the land and continue the industry. The Japanese government has filed a protest with the United States government against the treatment accorded the Mikado's subjects here, but as the supreme court of the United States Believing that the man of the lamented Harding has fallen upon the shoulders of Mr. Coolidge, that he is in full accord with the great reconstruction policies of the late president, Republicans of Anaheim are of opinion that there should be no opposition to him at Cleveland. They resent the advent into the ring of that pereunial candidate, Hiram Johnson, who has been an old man of the sea on the neck of the California Republicans for many years, and many of his most influential supporters are repudiating him and joining the Coolidge ranks. There was a time when Johnson was a menace to the Republican party, but now he is only a joke. All men and women who have faith in the party of Lincoln, McKinley and Harding, and believe in the policies advocated by them, should join the Coolidge club. MEXICAN SENTENCED TO LONG PRISON TERM Judge Drumm Also Orders Him to Be Sterilized. Said to mark the second time the law has been invoked in this state, a court order was issued Thursday for a surgical operation upon Everett Nava, 26, confessed attacker of a 7-year-old Japanese girl at Cypress, when Nava was sentenced by Superior Judge F. C. Drumm to a term of not more than fifty years at Folsom prison. The order of the operation to "prevent procreation," said to be provided under a new state law in cases of the Nava type, accompanied the prison sentence, and will be carried out, it is understood, after the defendant is delivered to the prison authorities. Nava's case was handled with utmost celerity, his sentence being pro- Capt. Adams ranks as the oldest member of Santa Ana Elks lodge, which lodge he joined May 18, 1903. It is a coincidence, too, that it is his eighty-ninth birthday that has just been celebrated, and he is No. 89 on the books of the lodge. Sunday, the passing of the eighty-ninth milestone brought together at the county park, for a reunion and for the enjoyment of a barbecue steak dinner, some twenty-eight members of the "tribe." Capt. Adams genially demonstrated his ability to take care of a large juicy steak with as much ease as did any of his grandchildren. Gathered around the table with Capt. Adams were his sons, Henry M.-Adams, of Anaheim, and Good Adams, of Santa Ana, and daughter, Mrs. Hugh Plumb, and their families, and Frank Gowen, Daniel D. Adams, W. D. Doll and T. E. Stephenson, Santa Ana, and their families, and Mrs. Colburn. In his early manhood as a member of the intrepid Texas rangers, then as a Confederate officer, and later as a cattleman in Indian country along the Nueces, in Texas, Capt. Adams led an oventful life. Attracted to California he arrived in Tustin in November, 1877, and bought the property upon which he still lives. Throughout his residence in this county, Capt. Adams has enjoyed a wide acquaintanceship. Not only are the old-timers congratulating him on his sturdy good health, which continues in spite of his advanced years, but he is getting congratulations also from the younger generation. Every Elk knows him, and at the lodge it is declared that the good wishes of everyone of the lodge's 900 and more members went into the bouquet that was sent to the lodge's oldest Elk last Thursday. WALNUT INSTITUTE WILL BE HELD AT CHINO With Chino, San Bernardino County, selected as the meeting place for the fifth annual walnut growers' institute, tentative plans are being made by executives for one of the most Southern California growers' and important meetings of the kind ever attempted in the Southland, according to S. W. Stanley, Tustin, chairman of the walnut department of the Orange County farm bureau. "It was decided at a conference of delegates from the southern walnut growing counties," said Stanley, "that the coming convention be attended by every man' and woman vitally interested in walnuts, to the end that we may work out better methods for growing, harvesting and selling - this, one of Orange County's most substantial crops." Others who attended the conference were Arthur McFadden, Irvine; H. E. Wahlberg, Orange County farm advisor, and J. A. Smiley, president of the Orange County farm bureau. The session will be held at Chino Saturday, February 9, and will be under the management of a special program committee headed by Arthur McFadden of Irvine. Other members of the committee are D. F. Adams of Chino and W. S. Rosecrans of Gardena. Activities, as outlined for the department by the executive committee, include: Plans for the annual institute and annual field day; assistance in designing, having manufactured and purchased wholesale for distribution to growers of improved tools for pruning, tree surgery, tree wiring and other materials. It was also recommended that attention be given more stringent measures for control of the codling moth, with association control where desirable. PROMINENT MAN DIES FOLLOWING OPERATION A. A. Mills Succumbs to Illness Caused by an Old Hurt. A. A. Mills, for many years one of the most active and prominent citizens of northern Orange County, died Monday morning at the Anaheim Sanitary. PEDDLERS HARD HIT BY NEW TAX ORDINANCE MEASURE DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE HOME BUSINESS MAN FROM OUTSIDERS Six Hundred Local Dealers Will Pay an Occupation Tax the Coming Year—Merchants to Pay $18 per Annum—Canvassers Must Dig Up a Tax of $10 per Day for the Privilege of Doing Business Within the City—Others Hit Hard. Nineteen hundred and twenty-four is going to be an unprofitable year for the illicit peddler, the vegetable tenderer, the canvasser, the agent for out-town houses, and every person whose occupation brings him in competition with the local business man. The new license-tax ordinance is designed to protect the home dealer, the man who resides here, who pays his taxes here and helps to maintain the PROMINENT MAN DIES FOLLOWING OPERATION A. A. Mills Succumbs to Illness Caused by an Old Hurt. A. A. Mills, for many years one of the most active and prominent citizens of northern Orange County, died Monday morning at the Anaheim Sanitarium where he had been under treatment for some weeks. A week prior to his death he had undergone a surgical operation for a stomach disorder, and recovery had been so rapid following the operation that it was believed he would be shortly restored to health, but a sudden turn for the worse Monday speedily resulted in his death. Before coming to California Mr. Mills had been connected with the agricultural colleges of both Kansas and Utah. He came here nearly twenty years ago, purchasing a twenty-acre tract on North Los Angeles Street, above North, where he conducted a dairy. A couple of years ago he sold the dairy and subdivided the property. Subsequently he entered into an agreement with the Anaheim Building Corporation to handle the property, and it was his ambition to make it one of the most desirable residence districts in the city. The absconding of Joe Slegel, head of the corporation, dissolved that company, but Mr. Mills again acquired full control of the property, and was busily engaged in carrying out his original plans when death overtook him. His death is a heavy loss to the community. Mr. Mills was 60 years of age. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Pamella Mills, three daughters, Miss Irene Mills, Mrs. Edna Curtis, and Mrs. Irma Davis, and one son, Lawrence Mills. Nearly two years ago Mr. Mills and O. T. Callor were seriously injured in an auto accident. Mr. Mills' injuries were internal, and his last illness was the result of those injuries. Funeral services will be held at Backs, Terry & Campbell's chapel at 2 o'clock this afternoon. MORE FOODSTUFFS MUST BE RAISED HERE Large Quantities Imported That Should be Produced at Home. Nineteen hundred and twenty-four is going to be an unprofitable year for the litterant peddler, the vegetable vendor, the canvasser, the agent for out-of-town houses, and every person whose occupation brings him in competition with the local business man. The new license-tax ordinance is designed to protect the home dealer, the man who resides here, who pays his taxes here and helps to maintain the city government. The ordinance is drastic in its measures, the tax imposed on certain outside fakirs being so high that they are practically eliminated. Anaheim business houses are assessed $18 per year each. Those who come under the professional class such as doctors lawyers, chiropractors, osteopaths, dentists and chemists and like occupations will pay $12 each year. The transfer man will pay $6 per year for each vehicle in service, while the passenger carrying bus will pay $1 a year. Perhaps the most drastic section of the ordinance is that which provides for a license of $100 per month for the litterant peddler. This must be paid in advance, and it is believed by the members of the city council that it will have the effect of cleaning the city at once of the door to door peddler who in the past has been reaping a rich harvest at the expense of the local merchant. For the bankrupt or wreck sale there must be a payment of $100 per month. This also includes goods that are brought into Anaheim as the result of a "fire," but would not include the local merchant, were he forced into a similar position. The vegetable peddler, who is not a grower and has no fixed place of business, within certain sections of Anaheim will pay a license of $25 per quarter for each vehicle operated. This it is believed will have the effect of eliminating the wholesale buyer of inferior products and their sale in Anaheim. The canvasser is probably the hardest hit of any of the vendors classed as itinerant. He must pay a license of $10 each day for doing business within the city limits. Next on the list of those who will be forced to pay a large license is the "rag man." If in the future, he would ply his trade here, he will have to contribute $5 each day to the city. The peddler of medicines and the MORE FOODSTUFFS MUST BE RAISED HERE Large Quantities Imported That Should be Produced at Home. Pointing out, at the farm lands conference of the eighth regional district of the California Real Estate Association at Riverside last Saturday, that food stuffs must be provided 3,000,000 meals each day in Los Angeles alone, Everett A. White, of Santa Ana presiding at the conference as vice-president of the state organization, declared that unless the agricultural resources of the back country keep pace with development and growth of Southern California cities, a serious problem will develop. Stressing the point of a big market for produce in the southland, White said that millions of dollars are being paid for farm products imported into the state that should be grown in the state. "We must seek industrious people to locate in the farm land sections." said the Santa Ana realtor. "Some are here already and hundreds and thousands in other states want to come. "The agricultural sections of the country seriously affected with depressions are those sections dependent upon single crops. Those sections in which farmers combine their crop productions with dairying, hogs and poultry generally are successful and prosperous. There is no section of the country where it is possible to com- inferior products and their sale in Anaheim. The canvasser is probably the hardest hit of any of the vendors classed as itinerant. He must pay a license of $10 each day for doing business within the city limits. Next on the list of those who will be forced to pay a large license is the "rag man." If, in the future, he would ply his trade here, he will have to contribute $5 each day to the city. The peddler of medicines and the street fakir will have to pay a license of $25 a day, while the shoe-string man and the peddler of toys, buttons, hairpins and combs will contribute $1 per day. bine diversified farming more profitably than in California." Pointing out the responsibility of the real estate agent in locating men on farms, or any other property, White said that a great many failures are due to placing "the wrong men in the right place or the right men in the wrong place." "With failure the new settler is broken in courage, with harm to the community, and if he seeks a new location he will be handicapped by lack of funds," he continued. "This reacts against the state as a whole." On the other hand, if there is universal satisfaction and success on the part of the new settlers on farms, the community is benefitted." The Wonder Oil Company is preparing to "spud in" the first of the year on the oil well being drilled on the twenty-five acre valencia and walnut grove belonging to Henry Seidel. The property, which is three and a half miles west of Anaheim, was obtained by Seidel through a trade of his northern ranch property.
