VOLUME LIV
BROWN HEARING
POSTPONED TO
JAN'Y 16
TRUSTEES DEMAND THAT SPECIFIC CHARGES BE FILED AGAINST RECORDER
Rev. Myers and Hia Bible Class Told that They Must Make Affidavit to Their Charges and Furnish Evidence to Convict—Trustee Gates Introduces Caustic Resolution—Charges Must be Filed Within Five Days from Date of Last Hearing.
At the hearing staged for the investigation of City Recorder Brown's official actions before the city trustees last Wednesday, Rev. Leon Myers and his Men's Bible Class discovered that while it was easy to make indiscriminate charges against a public official it is necessary to prove the charges hearing until January 16, and by resolution demanded that Rev. Myers file specific charges under oath within five days.
ORANGE COUNTY GROWERS
OBSERVING THE LAW
Charge of Imperial Lettuce Men Without Foundation.
Pointing out that a representative of the state department of agriculture is in close observation the shipment of vegetables from this county, A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, declared as unfounded charges by lettuce growers of the Imperial valley that lettuce growers of Orange county were not observing the vegetable standardization laws.
Growers of the Imperial Valley had on file with George H. Hecke, head of the state department of agriculture, charges that growers in Orange, Los Angeles and Kern counties were evading the law. It is asserted by the Imperial growers that alleged failure to observe the law is demoralizing the market.

At the hearing staged for the investigation of City Recorder Brown's official actions before the city trustees last Wednesday, Rev. Leon Myers and his Men's Bible Class discovered that while it was easy to make indiscriminate charges against a public official it is necessary to prove the charges before punishment can be meted out by constituted authority. Mr. Myers and a number of his followers were present when the hearing opened, but they were not prepared to furnish any evidence substantiating their charges of incompetence and dereliction of duty. The complaint which had been filed by the Bible Class, which was signed by more than two hundred persons, was designated by H. G. Ames, one of the attorneys for Brown, as "Indefinite, ambiguous, unintelligible and uncertain," and the trustees took this view of the matter.
"We want it understood," said Ames "that Justice Brown is not attempting to evade in the slightest degree a full and complete investigation. But on the other hand, courts the hearing and will assist in every detail toward bringing about the desired end. There is nothing in the present petition that can be refuted, no dates, no specific cases that would come under the heading brought by the charges. In other words, the petition is nothing but the bare, bald conclusion of the signers and it is not fair to Justice Brown that he should be called upon to defend himself from a series of conclusions of petition signers. If this were done it would throw down the bars for every scandalmonger in Anaheim to come before your body and bring generalized charges against any official for whom they might hold a petty spite.
"We do not want to stop the hearing, but do insist that other petitions signed by one or more members of Bible class be filed and that these petitions set forth specific instances of misconduct and that they be presented as affidavits made under oath.
"It seems that the Myers Men's Bible class has wandered far afield from the purpose which its name would imply, and are not seeking to fulfill the purpose one would expect from an organization dealing in the scattering of Christianity. Also, the petition comes from a private organi-
on file with George H. Hecke, head of the state department of agriculture, charges that growers in Orange, Los Angeles and Kern counties were evading the law. It is asserted by the Imperial growers that alleged failure to observe the law is demoralizing the market.
It is the opinion of Brock that the Imperial Valley men are "Hollering" in the hope that shipments from other lettuce growing sections may be "squeezed" and a greater market offered by the big crop in the valley.
Brook said that a few days ago he accompanied Stanley Rogers, in charge of vegetable standardization for the state, on a tour of the county. At that time lettuce was not being shipped; but Brock said he heard no complaint by Rogers that vegetable shippers here are not making correct packs. Brock said that there is less than 400 acres in Orange County planted to lettuce.
CRIMES IN COUNTY
DURING PAST YEAR
500 More Criminals in Jail Than During Previous Year.
The war on crime in Orange County during 1923 was not only particularly effective, but also particularly profitable, according to Sheriff Sam Jernigan's books.
Not only were there 2,018 criminals, great and small, confined in the county jail during the year, nearly 500 more than in 1922, but other criminals also paid many thousands of dollars into the public coffers.
The whiskey trade, for instance, was shown to have disgorged $16,003 of its profits in the form of fines that were collected in just one court. What the total collected from all the various justice courts and the superior court might be was not known, but it must have mounted to high figure, it was said.
The county jail, clearing house for moneys handled by the sheriff's office in connection with crime cases, reported that $28,584 passed through its hands during 1923. This sum included fines and bail money, County Jailor O. Moncrief stated.
Sheriff Jernigan and his deputies were making it especially "warm" for the liquor traffic, last year, it was shown. Not only were the booze profits depleted to the extent mentioned in actual cash, but loss of stock captured by the eagle-eyed officers cost them Germany—A Appear to be Privately Welcome And

"It seems that the Myers Men's Bible class has wandered far afield from the purpose which its name would imply, and are not seeking to fulfill the purpose one would expect from an organization dealing in the scattering of Christianity. Also, the petition comes from a private organization whose title would indicate that it is not active in civic affairs.
"If the charges brought by the Bible class are actuated by a desire to the general welfare and good of the community, they will not object to appearing under oath. In addition to this their charges should be limited in scope to include unlawful conduct, corruption or, fraud and not be limited to matters which would come under the heading of 'judgment or discretion'."
Mr. Myers was of opinion that all required of him and his class was to make a charge and the trustees would dig up the evidence to substantiate their statements. Mr. Myers stated that it was not the desire of the class to persecute Judge Brown, but the petitioners were simply calling attention of, until a condition which should be remedied.
Trustee Gates was considerably peeled because statements attributed to him by the bible class had been circulated. He denounced them as false. He introduced a resolution demanding that Rev. Myers prove his statements recently appearing in print relative to the trustees or be cited for contempt of court. He denounced the whole proceedings as an attempt on the part of the bible class to obtain free advertising. The resolution was laid on the table.
The board decided to postpone the
Sheriff Jernigan and his deputies were making it especially "warm" for the liquor traffic, last year, it was shown. Not only were the booze profits depleted to the extent mentioned in actual cash, but loss of stock captured by the eagle-eyed officers cost the liquor industry many thousands more.
It was recalled that on one occasion during the year, Sheriff Jernigan emptied about 1400 gallons of captured liquor into the sewer. On another occasion an $8500 cargo of bonded whiskey was taken away from rum runners near Seal Beach and turned over to federal authorities. Other losses were contained in captured stills and other caged automobiles added an other large item to the red side of the booze ledger.
The money collected from the booze cases was clear profit. This interesting announcement was made by Sheriff Jernigan, who stated that not a cent had been expended in detective hire to "get" evidence." All of the work, he said was done by his own staff.
"In that connection," said Jernigan, "I want to say that our success has been due to spendid cooperation from municipal and other local authorities throughout the county. The various officers have given us much help in running down criminals; aid has also been received from private citizens. I'd like to express my appreciation of this co-operation."
Modern girls may be more modest than the old-time ones. The latter blushed occasionally, but the former now paint a blush on their cheeks in the morning that lasts all day.

TRAVELERS BACK FROM ACROSS THE SEA
MR. AND MRS. W. E. ALEXANDER AND MISS SOPHIE RIMPAU AT HOME AGAIN
Report an Exceedingly Enjoyable Trip Through Europe—Visited England, France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, but Were Advised Not to go to Germany—All Countries Visited Appear to be Prospering, and Warmly Welcome American Visitors.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Alexander and Miss Sophie Rimpu reached home shortly before the New Year after a tour of several months, most of the time being spent in Europe. They left here in the late summer ostensibly on a visit to eastern cities, and many of their friends were unaware that they had planned a trip across the nation.
dation of the Evening Herald and the Bulletin is a step forward in efficiency for the entire community. We extend our greetings to the newly consolidated paper and also to the Plain Dealer and Gazette, trusting that the new year will bring them the greatest of prosperity.
The Executive Committee, composed of Messrs Stern, Prince and Harbeson, have presented a plan of management for the Orange Show, May 15-24, 1924. The Directors accepted this plan and appointed Mr. Herman Stern as manager, with Messrs Prince and Harbeson, assistants. The working out of all plans will be in the hands of the Committee. Mr. Stern will have complete control of every feature and he is at present actively planning on a number of features for the Show. We wish to assure this Committee that they have the wholehearted support of our entire membership and the community at large. Recognizing that the shows in the past have been a splendid and most acceptable feature for Anaheim, we are asking the Committee that they make this show of 1924 the biggest that has ever been. Here's success to the management.
Members are earnestly urged to keep in mind that the monthly forum meeting will be held the latter part

Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Alexander and Miss Sophie Rimpau reached home shortly before the New Year after a tour of several months, most of the time being spent in Europe. They left here in the late summer ostensibly on a visit to eastern cities, and many of their friends were unaware that they had planned a trip across the Atlantic until word was received that they were sailing on the "Berengeria" for England.
It was their intention to include Germany in their itinerary on the continent, but received advice from reliable sources that a visit to that country at the present time would be inadvisable, consequently they passed up the Deutschland and spent their time in France, Switzerland and Italy. There was plenty of things of surpassing interest to see in those countries, so rich in historical lore, and containing so many monuments of past ages worth studying, consequently all their days abroad were filled with enjoyment.
In Switzerland they climbed the mighty Alps and sailed on some of the crystal lakes. This little buffer country between France, Germany, Austria and Italy is in an exceedingly prosperous condition and is well worth visiting as it contains some of the most magnificent scenery in the world. Italy is a garden spot, they report much like Southern California in climate, but the greater portion of their time in that country was spent in Rome. Naturally all the principal objects of interest in the capital of the christian world were visited, including the Vatican, St. Peters, the Sistine Chapel the catacombs, etc. They went down to Naples and saw Vesuvius and the excavations at Pompeii, the city buried under the ashes from Vesuvius two thousand years ago. They also passed through northern Italy, stopping at Florence, Venice and other cities, going as far north as Vienna, the Austrian capital.
All Americans who go to Europe visit Monte Carlo, the famous gambling resort on the Mediterranean, although they don't all go there to gamble. The Anaheim travelers took a peep at the noted resort while in the south.
They stopped long enough in Paris to make the acquaintance of all the principal sights in the world's gayest city and in London they did the same.
We wish to assure this Committee that they have the wholehearted support of our entire membership and the community at large. Recognizing that the shows in the past have been a splendid and most acceptable feature for Anaheim, we are asking the Committee that they make this show of 1924 the biggest that has ever been. Here's success to the management.
Members are earnestly urged to keep in mind that the monthly forum meeting will be held the latter part of January. This monthly meeting will be a 6:30 dinner. A number of the members have suggested that they be given an opportunity to state their views on Chamber of Commerce activities. This meeting will be given over entirely to expressions from the members. These expressions, of course, are expected to be constructive in their nature. The Directors seek suggestions and earnestly request that every member come and express himself in a way that will be beneficial to the organization and to the City of Anaheim. You will be sent an invitation in due time giving place and program.
It is a pleasure to note that the city Council has allocated a contract to the Anaheim Metal Industries to construct forty lamp posts to be erected in the City Park. This is a recognition of home industry. We are glad to know that Anaheim is able to take care of its wants. If you have not visited the park lately, you should as soon as the opportunity affords and see the number of people engaged in playing tennis and other games. It will not be many weeks until the swimming pool will be finished and a big day is being planned for the opening. The possibilities of this swimming pool for good cannot be over estimated. It has been planned correctly, conveniently and economically. Doubtless there is not a more unique type of pool in this Southland. Anaheim should be justly proud of the park and of the City Council for making such a recreational center.
Why does not the Chamber of Commerce get industries? Here are some of the industries making inquiry concerning a location in Anaheim received during December: A party from Long Beach to establish a factory for making feeds out of broken grains. He needs $6000. A firm from Pasadena to build a glass factory. They needed 10 acres but could not pay more than $1000 an acre. A manufacturer of pumps wishes material assistance.

Hart, Schaffner & Max, the great Chicago clothing manufacturers, recognize and appreciate a good thing when they see it. F. A. Yungbluth is the Anaheim dealer who handles this firms popular goods, and because he realizes the reliability of the clothing he makes a special effort to supply his customers with it. One of Mr. Yungbluth's Christmas ads in the Gazette attracted the attention of the advertising manager of the big firm, and the following letter of commendation was received by him:
Mr. F. A. Yungbluth,
Anaheim, California.
Dear Sir:
Your advertisement, in The Gazette, which is headed, "Your card isn't the only one that goes inside your gift package" has been worked out very neatly. It makes its message clear, very easily because you used a regular type selection and the arrangement of the copy is orderly.
The position of this ad is not the best, but even so your stands out distinctly because of various good points it possesses which we have already mentioned.
In view of those things we want to compliment you upon it and wish you the compliments of the reason, too.
Yours truly,
Hart Schaffner & Marx
Advertising Department
Mr. Yungbluth is one of the most successful business men in Anaheim. He began business here in a small way, and now he has probably the largest merchant tailoring establishment in the county. His success is attributable to two things—he has always given his customers theOf their money, and he has been a helpful user of printer's ink. He has spent a large amount of money in telling the people what he has to offer, and has always backed up his statements in his ads with the goods.
Mr. Yungbluth's motto is "By all Means Get a Fit," and a customer is not permitted to take a garment out of the store, no matter what the price, until it is made to fit. Because of the excellence of his work he has regular customers from distant points, several Los Angeles men being among...
and other cities, going as far north as Vieuna, the Austrian capital.
All Americans who go to Europe visit Monte Carlo, the famous gambling resort on the Mediterranean, although they don't all go there to gamble. The Anaheim travelers took a peep at the noted resort while in the south.
They stopped long enough in Paris to make the acquaintance of all the principal sights in the world's gayest city, and in London they did the same.
Wherever they went they state, the glad hand was extended to them. Europeans being overjoyed to welcome Americans amongst them.
They crossed the ocean on the return trip in the same liner that carried them over, and arrived here in time to spend New Year's at home. Their trip was such an enjoyable one that already they are laying plans for another to the same points with a little unexplored territory added. Their friends expect them to become confirmed globe trotters.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Following are extracts from the Chamber of Commerce bulletin issued the first of the month:
It was found necessary to enlarge the membership of the Transportation Committee. In addition to those now serving—Messrs Rueher, Jessurun and Ritchie—the following were appointed: Messrs Loehr, Lavender, Schureman and Wood.
It is with some gratification that the members of the Chamber of Commerce, Citizens and merchants find that two daily papers are now in the field. When we consider that each family in the community was expected to subscribe for three dailies and the merchants to advertise in each and the one weekly, is easy to see that such becomes a burden. The consoli-
Why does not the Chamber of Commerce get industries? Here are some of the industries making inquiry concerning a location in Anaheim received during December: A party from Long Beach to establish a factory for making feeds out of broken grains. He needs $6000. A firm from Pasadena to build a glass factory. They needed 10 acres but could not pay more than $1000 an acre. A manufacturer of pumps wishes material assistance. A ladder company seeks a location and sale of some stock. All of these Industrial Committee have investigated but as yet have no funds to give the assistance asked.
The office of the Chamber is continually being besieged by men who are looking for work. The coming problem of Anaheim, as well as all Southern California, is to secure employment for the men and women who are coming to the community to live. If you will connect this with our industrial development, you will see what it means to our city. Industries we must have, but we will never be able to secure them if we persist in saving that we will not give assistance. We must do our part. Every other community is faced with the tance to some of these that are really same problem, and those communities securing industries are, in every instance, giving help.
The purpose of a business industrial survey is to prepare for Anaheim's increased business and industrial development. It is necessary as a first step to analyze the local industrial conditions, taking into account all human and natural advantages and disadvantages present. The opinions of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers must be obtained. This is an agricultural center. We must develop the business sense within the community. The market must be expanded for existing industries. Any
Industry that will fit into the general scheme must be secured. A survey is a means to an end that furnishes facts from which industrial committees work. Nothing can be accomplished without wholehearted co-operation of manufacturers and wholesalers and retailers. During January this survey will be undertaken. It is absolutely necessary that leaders of business give the information requested.

with difficulty the services of Rev.

Roy Douglas, manager of the Palace theater, was best man. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Johnson of the State theater and Miss Midreel Stenzel, sister of the bride. The bride is a former resident of Minneapolis. She has resided In Long Beach with her mother for two or three years. The bridegroom is a prominent Mason, being a member of a Fort Worth,

GEORGE ZIEGLER THINKS
JUDGE NOT LENIENT
Paid $300 Fine for Having Liquor for Home Use in His Possession.
George Ziegler, who lives at 124½ Resh Street, was surprised New morning when he saw his neighbor, H. E. Scott and four officers of the law approaching his residence. Thinking they might be calling to extend greetings of the New Year to him he was ready to extend the glad hand, but soon discovered his mistake when they invaded his cellar and announced that they were searching for booze. They carried a warrant sworn to by Scott.
They found some wet goods—three half pints of old whiskey which Mr. Ziegler says he has had in his possession ever since he worked for the Orange County Wine Co., and was kept for medicine purpose. They also found a dozen bottles of home made wine and about a hundred bottles of home brew that he had stored away for use during the coming summer. The police confiscated the goods and gave Mr. Ziegler a free ride to the city hall where he was introduced to Judge Brown. He pleaded not guilty and put up $100 cash ball for his release. He didn't enjoy his dry New Year's dinner.
Acting on the advice of friends he later withdrew his plea of not guilty and plead guilty to having intoxicating liquor in his possession, whereupon Judge Brown fined him $300, which he paid, a pretty stiff punishment, he thinks, considering the small offense. George is unable to understand why the Men's Bible Class is accusing Judge Brown of being too lenient.
Mr. Ziegler is making plans for returning to his old home in Alsace-Lorraine, where he can enjoy his glass of wine without disturbing or offending the sensibilities of his neighbors. He also wishes to state that when he moves away he hopes a good Christian gentleman will move into the place whose habits will not be offensive to Mr. Scott.
FOUR COMPANIES PLANNED FOR ORANGE COUNTY
Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell motorized over from Redlands Monday to negotiate a lease for the room in the Mitchell block formerly occupied by the Stroup Market. They now travel in a spendid Packard car which probably sat Nick back five or six thousand dollars, but he considers it worth the money. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are very comfortably situated in their Redlands home, and declare it will be their home during the balance of their days, but they are always glad of an excuse to bring them back. Few people are now living who saw Anaheim before they came here more than fifty-five years ago, and although they drifted away from the city many years ago they had faith enough in Anaheim's future to retain their real estate holdings.
The lots on the southwest corner of Center and Los Angeles Streets was one of the properties acquired by them when Anaheim city lots were cheap. Some years ago the old buildings were cleared off and the two-story Mitchell block built thereon. A short time ago they were offered $275,000 for the property, but refused it. Mr. Mitchell states that he would like to sign this corner over to somebody on a ninety-nine year graduated lease, so that his descendants a few generations hence will derive a good income from it.
They also owned three lots on West Center between Lemon and Clementine Streets, opposite the California theater. There lots were recently sold to three different parties. The total amount received for them was $63,000. They cost the Mitchells $150 per lot.
The Mitchell hotel in Pasadena, opposite the Hotel Green, is another of their holdings which was purchased when property was cheap. Its chief value now is in the ground on which the building stands, and they have been offered $120,000 for it, but refured the offer.
The home which they recently purchased at Redlands is described as a beauty spot. It is situated on the apex of a hill 1700 feet above the city, and from their height they can look down on the shimmering lights of the city far below them. They also have a view of the beautiful surrounding country for many miles. The house

FOUR COMPANIES PLANNED FOR ORANGE COUNTY
Steps Taken to Increase National Guard in State.
Formation of infantry companies at Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana and Orange is included in the re-organization plans for the California national guard in 1924, dispatches received from Sacramento announcement Adjutant General R. E. Mittelstaedt made known plans for an increase of approximately 1600 officers and enlisted men and the formation of a number of new artillery, as well as infantry companies.
General Mittelstaedt said he expects to add 1000 officers and men to the infantry branch of the guard and 600 to the artillery. The program calls for the completion of four battalions of infantry, two in the northern and two to the artillery. The program calls for organization of the 143d field artillery and the completion of the coast artillery force by the organization of five new companies in San Francisco.
Besides the four companies planned for Orange county, the adjutant general said infantry forces would be recruited in Chico, Oroville, San Jose, Palo Alto and Hayward, in the north; and Calexico, El Centro, Holtville and Brawley, in the south.
The field artillery will be composed of units in San Jose, Stockton and Oakland.
Captain Seth Millington of Colusa,
former state commander of the American Legion, is to have charge of the re-organization work.
The present strength of the national guard is approximately 3600 officers and men. Gen. Mittelstaedt said he hoped to increase this number to 9000 in accordance with the program of the war department.
The fixed smile is worse than none. Regular men long to swat the perpetual ray of snushine.
