TRUSTEES INCREASE SALARY
PEOPLE TO VOTE SAL TO PAY THE MONTH
Bond Election for the Raising $110,000 for Improvement and Called Shortly After — Plans for $20,000 Approved — City Truck to be Increased.
Considering that the climax is becoming a imposing much work, a large portion of the trustees have decided people to vote them a year now is $20 a board will ask the vote increase to $50 per million will be submitted at the April elections.
With the keen scent of a blood hound and the reasoning faculty of a Sherlock Holmes the federal officers employed on the Anaheim mail robbery case have rounded up the men engaged in the conspiracy and unearthed sufficient evidence to make their conviction an absolute certainty, it is claimed. Link by link the chain of evidence has been constructed, and it is now said to be complete.
The latest sensation in the case was the confession of Judge J.U.Hemml of Torrance, made Thursday to United States District Attorney J.C. Burke. Hemml's connection with the affair was not known to J.L., Findlay the messenger, who was the first man arrested, and whose senational statement caused the arrest of J.R. Abernathy and Charles R. Wheeler. Hemml's intimacy with Abernathy placed him under suspicion, and when post-office inspector Lowe found him at Lutesville, Mo., Abernathy's old home, and learned that he had converted $5,200 given him by Abernathy into cashier's checks, suspicion became a certainty. The cashier's checks were later found in Hemml's office at Torrance. Then the discovery of a valise in his garage with the name of J.R. Abernathy written on the inside furnished another link in the chain of evidence. This valise Findlay recognized as one Abernathy had in his possession on the evening of December 27 when he turned over the registered mail pouch to him at the corner of Broadway and Helena streets.
Hedged about by undisputable evidence connecting him with Abernathy's transactions, Hemml deemed it prudent to make a confession, or, rather, a statement of his participation in the matter. He told District Attorney Burke that Abernathy brought a large sum of money to him in the valise and asked him to dispose of it in such a manner that it could return to Abernathy without laying him under suspicion. He told Hemml so the judge declared, that he had received the money as his commission for landing a contract with the Orange County Harbor Commission, and it was necessary for him to keep in the background and conceal his connection with the deal. Hemml also stated that a large portion of the money was still in his possession, buried in his back yard at Torrance, and he voluntarily led the officers in the search for it.
Orange County WINS PRIZES AT SAN BERDOO
Yorba Linda Tak's Sweepstakes in Lemon Display
Orange county fruit growers packing house executives are jubilant as a result of the announcement at San Bernardino that the Mutual Orange Distributors' association had won the grand lemon sweepstakes at the fourteenth annual orange show on fruit entered from Yorba Linda. In addition, this county won first prize for the best four boxes of lemons, and was awarded third prize of $300 in the sweepstakes for the best feature display.
Orange county's striking feature display, which occupies advantageous position near the entrance of the main tent, won the unstinted praise of judges and spectators. San Diego was awarded first prize of $500 in this division Riverside Chamber of Commerce won second prize.
Smashing all previous records, 60,000 spectators visited the exposition yesterday, according to orange show officials, and indications were that the 1923 high mark of 250,000 persons would be passed by this year's visitors. More than 90,000 persons visited the show during the first three days. Manager R.H.Mack declares...
return to Abernathy without laying him under suspicion. He told Hemmi so the judge declared, that he had received the money as his commission for landing a contract with the Orange County Harbor Commission, and it was necessary for him to keep in the background and conceal his connection with the deal. Hemmi also stated that a large portion of the money was still in his possession, buried in his back yard at Torrance, and he voluntarily led the officers in the search for it and pointed out the spot. The officers unearthed $5,570, nearly $2,000 being in one dollar bills, presumably a portion of the four thousand one dollar bills which constituted part of the money stolen from the First National bank's registered packages. This together with the $5,200 in cashier's checks and the money Hemmi had sent to his sister in Minnesota to be converted into cashier's checks and returned to him, aggregated close to $12,000 of the stolen money recovered or almost half of the amount stolen.
What became of the balance of the cash is still a mystery. Wheeler, according to Findlay's confession was to receive one-third of the whole. If he did receive it he has cunningly covered up his hiding place, but many believe that Abernathy double-crossed him as well as Findlay, and that the ex-school superintendent used the two postoffice employees as cat's paws and kept all of the loot himself.
Abernathy appers to have been the instigator of the plot and the brains of the enterprise, but it is believed he will plead guilty in the hope of getting a lighter sentence. The colls have tightened about him to such an extent that he must realize escape is practically impossible.
Wheeler is the only one of the

TRUSTEES WANT INCREASE IN SALARY
PEOPLE TO VOTE ON A PROPOSAL TO PAY THEM $50 PER MONTH
Bond Election for the Purpose of Raising $110,000 for Water Works Improvement and Extension to be Called Shortly After City Election —Plans for $20,000 Sewer Extension Approved—City Treasurer's Salary to be Increased.
Considering that the job of Councilman is becoming an arduous one, imposing much work and occupying a large portion of the official's time, the trustees have decided to ask the people to vote them a raise. The salary now is $20 a month, and the board will ask the voters to permit an increase to $50 per month. The question will be submitted to the people at the April election. On three occasions the electors have voted on the church, was scheduled to come up in Judge West's court Tuesday, but has been withdrawn. An amicable agreement, it is stated, has been made between Father Browne and the contestants, George J. Carney and Vera Carney Werner, nephew and niece of the testator.
As the nearest kin of their uncle, they had sought to break the will when they found it had cut them off and had made provision which would leave the priest, they alleged, in possession of virtually the entire estate.
The filing of their contesting petition some months ago aroused a sensation in the parish, where attention was drawn to the pair's accusations that the priest had used his spiritual influence over their uncle on his death bed an had swayed him, under threat to withhold his "reward in heaven," to frame the will as it was made.
Negotiations understood to have been started soon after the petition was filed forestalled public flaunting of the accusations in court, however, and an amicable agreement is now reported to have been reached, satisfying the contesting heirs, though the exact terms of the settlement were not made known.
The Carney will, it was alleged, made the priest residuary legatee, to receive the estate remaining after various small legacies were paid. The smalled bequests went to two nurses
TROUBLE LOOMS OVER SEWER CONTRACT
BUILDERS OF OCEAN END JOINT ENTERPRISE DEMAND MODIFIED PLANS
Claim They are Losing Much Money on the Job—Threaten to Take the Matter Into Court Unless Councils Accede to Their Demands—City Bodies in Joint Session Saturday Refuse to Change the Original Plans.
Serious trouble has arisen over construction of the ocean end of Orange county's outfall sewer, which is being paid for by the cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton. DeWard & Cobham, contractors for this section of the work, declared they are losing a large sum of money, and demand a modification of the contract. The councilmen, however, referred their request, and declare that the work is pursued more diligently.

Considering that the job of Councilman is becoming an arduous one, imposing much work and occupying a large portion of the official's time, the trustees have decided to ask the people to vote them a raise. The salary now is $20 a month, and the board will ask the voters to permit an increase to $50 per month. The question will be submitted to the people at the April election. On three occasions the electors have voted on the question of a salary for the trustees. Twice they defeated it, but the third time they voted in favor of a small compensation. How they will stand on the increase proposed is a fifty-fifty bet.
The city election will be held on Monday, April 14, according to an ordinance introduced Thursday night. The twelve voting precincts of the city have been consolidated into six for this election, and the following polling places have been designated: Anaheim Union high school, Ford Agency on North Los Angeles street, Store room at 415 East Center, Citron street school house, city hall, and Gibbs Lumber Company's offices. The people of precincts 1 and 11 will vote at the high school, 2 and 3 at the Ford Agency, 4 and 12 at the Center street polling place, between Philadelphia and Olive, 5 and 6 at Citron street school, 7 and 8 at the city hall, and 9 and 10 at Gibbs' place.
Four of the five members of the board of trustees will be elected at the April election, G. J. Stock being the only member holding over. A city clerk and city treasurer also will be elected. Because of the heavy work required of him now the board raised the pay of the city treasurer from $10 to $125 per month.
Following are the officers appointed for the election:
Consolidated election precinct "A" — Inspector, Frank Tausch; Judge, H. W. Lewis; clerks, Frieda Janss and Harry I. Horn.
Consolidated election precinct "B" — Inspector, Mrd. Emma S. Seale; Judge, H Nelson White; clerks, Mrs. Ada Dibble and S usie J. Jayne.
Consolidated election precinct "C" — Inspector, Fred B. Kerry; Judge, Harry A. Neff; clerks, Mrs. Ida C. Lake and Mrs. Genevieve Fording.
Consolidated election precinct "D" — Inspector, Frank Baum; Judge, C. L. Lamb; clerks, Mrs. Ethel H. Chamberlain and Ardis Ann Chambeens.

The Carney will, it was alleged, made the priest residuary legatee, to receive the estate remaining after various small legacies were paid. The smallled bequests went to two nurses who cared for the dying man, and several Catholic institutions, including St. Boniface church and St. Catharine's school for boys, both at Anaheim; Anaheim Council Knights of Columbus, St. Amellians Orphan asylum, St. Francis, Wis., and St John's catherdal, Milwaukee, Wis.
Two deceased brother of Carney and a deceased priest, the late Rev. Father Roche, were also included among the beneficiaries.
The will was dated January 31, 1923, Carney died February 8, 1923, and the will was probated in the superior court February 28.
The dishinherited nephew and niece blamed Father Browne for the fact that they were omitted from the will and charged that he deliberately schemed to get possession of the Carney property, himself. They charged further that he would not only have received the bulk that would come to him as residuary legatee on the face of things, but that he would also get virtually all the smaller bequests as well, barring the two legacies of $500 each received by the nurses.
The summary of their accusations, as contained in their petition to the court, follows:
1—That their uncle, Frank Carney, was under the influence of oplates at the time the will was signed and did not know what he was doing.
2—That their uncle was also under the influence of Father Browne as his spiritual guide and advisor, and abeyed the preist's alleged injunctions as to the framing of the will, under threat that he would not win his "reward in heaven" unless he followed the priest's advice.
3—That Carney thought he was leaving the bulk of his estate to the religious organizations, whereas the priest new that the organizations would not collect their legacies, which would revert to him as residuary legatee.
4—the priest new this, they allege, because the law specifies that institutions cannot collect legacies unless the dependent living thirsty dies before been started soon after the petition was filed forestalled public flaunting of the accusations in court, however, and an amicable agreement is now reported to have been reached, satisfying the contesting heirs, though the exact terms of the settlement were not made known.

SUIT TO BREAK WILL WITHDRAWN BY CONTESTANTS
Amicable Agreemnt Reached Over Estate of Frank Carney
Suit to set aside the will of the late Frank Carney, wealthy parishioner of St. Boniface church, in which the bulk of his estate had left to Rev. Patrick Browne, rector of the
A new broom sweeps out the stuff that is back there next day.
3—That Carney thought he was leaving the bulk of his estate to the religious organizations, whereas the priest new that the organizations would not collect their legacies, which would revert to him as residuary legacies.
4—The priest new this, they allege, because the law specifies that institutions cannot collect legacies unless the decendent lives thirty days after the will is made. Father Browne, they accused, knew that Carney could not live thirty days after the will was signed. His death, as a matter of fact, took place nine days following the signing of the will.
5—That their uncle was not in his right mind when he signed the will or he would not have made bequests to the two deceased brothers, whose demise, they thought the priest was not aware of. Neither, they said, would he have included the deceased Father Roche among the beneficiaries. Father Browne, they charged, knew that Father Roche was dead and that the Roche legacy would revert to himself.
6—That Father Brown's hand guided the hand of their uncle when it signed the will.
7—That the legacies for the two nurses were designed to purchase their friendship for the will and prevent them from "giving away" the circumstances.
These serious charges, made when the relatives first learned the contents of the will, have all been withdrawn. The estate has been settled satisfactorily to lal parties.
Two more Mexicans, Ramon Razo and Jesus Jiminez, are lodged in the Orange county jail for their alleged participation in the burglary last week of O. E.

He said that unless the pipe was anchored, waves and currents soon would wash away the line.
In the absence of DeWard, Sanders told the board he was not in position to say whether the contractors would accept the committee report and proceed with the work.
He asserted that the contractors already had lost more than $30,000 and that if the contract were to be carried out without further changes the loss would be still greater.
Discussing the condition privately the attorney said that he believed that final settlement of the situation would have to be by court action.
He maintained that the contract was void because many changes, he averred, had been made in an irregular way. It was his opinion that the court would award his clients a just compensation for the work done.

Officers who arrested Marquez at his chack near Yorba said they found fifteen or twenty automobile tires asserted to have been stolen from O. E. Holland. A liquor still also was uncovered, it was charged.
Razo and Jimenez, now facing a charge of grand larceny, were arrested by Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy; Deputy Sheriff Dan Adams, and John Musillo, Santa Ana special deputy; Chief of Police Art Eels of Fullerton and Traffic Officer Ross Rudy.
This posse before daylight crept through a clump of trees, a quarter of a mile north of Yorba and gradually surrounded the "lookout station" of the alleged bandits, which was situated at the top of a hill.
At a signal the authorities broke into the cabin and seized the two occupants, officers said, just as they were reaching for automatics hidden in their clothing.

Surviving her mother but four days, Mrs. Nellie Rimpau, wife of Fred C. Rimpau, died at the family home on West Broadway Thursday morning at the age of 65.

The nearest surviving relatives are her husband, Fred Rimpau and two sisters, Misses Zolla and Beatrice Smythe.
The rosary service for the dead was held at the residence at b:30 o'clock Friday evening, and requium high mass was held at St. Boniface church at 9:30 Saturday morning.

While Glenn B. Churchill and O. C. Hardebeck, stock salesmen, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses in connection with the affairs of the Keen Hat Stores, one of which is in Anaheim, are held in the Los Angeles county jail in default of bail of $2000 each, it was announced Saturday that a new angle of the case had been uncovered which points toward activities of "consignment" brokers and may have the effect of linking the two men, trustees for the local branch with a national ring, formed for the purpose of defrauding manufacturers and investors.
The search of the investigating committee has revealed that both Churchill and Hardebeck had been in a similar business in Iowa and had been incorporated under the laws of that state at Keen Hat Stores.

It was pointed out that one of the profitable methods of "consignment brokers" in the east was to establish a store with an ample stock of goods and then to "fall" with a sufficient number of creditors to account for a depreciation of the stock. While charged with doing this method of business, evidence has been unearthed which warrants investigating this angle of their business transactions it is said.
It is stated there are 285 unit holders who purchased stock of the pair, a large percentage of them being in Anaheim. The total amount of cash collected by them aggregates $104,000 it is stated, and notes to the amount of $11,000 were given to them. A meeting of unit holders was held at the Helena street tabernacle some days ago for the purpose of discussing the situation. Fifty or sixty persons who had been swindled subscrib-
ed two per cent of the amount of their holdings toward a fund for the purpose of further investigation and prosecution. Twothirds of this sum was subcribed in this city. If this sum is not sufficient, Messrs. Pugh & Miller, drilling contractors, who are heavy stockholders, agree to put up the balance.
