Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter HELD FOR MANSLAUGHTER A. A. A. Alton, a director of the Julian Petroleum Corporation, was held by a coroner's jury at Santa Ana to be responsible for the death of Mrs. Mildred Agnes Ware, 20 years of age, of Corona, which occurred in an automobile crash Saturday night near El Toro. The verdict stated that reports of the collision between the car Alton was driving and the one in which Mrs. Ware was riding showed that Alton was driving his machine at "an excessive rate of speed" and was on the left side of the highway at the time of the crash. The jury recommended that Alton be prosecuted on a manslaughter charge. No mention was made in the verdict of testimony of Dr. R. A. Cushman, Santa Ana physician, to the effect that examination of Alton and his three companions shortly after the accident showed they had been drinking. Alton is in the Santa Ana Hospital recovering from injuries. He is held under $10,000 bail on a manslaughter charge. His companions, who were slightly in jured, are C. N. Granger, 711 North Berendo street; J. F. Boyer 1056 Normandle avenue; L. M. Munford. Privately owned water works from $290,000,000 to $360,885,000, or 24.4 per cent; gold and silver coin and bullion from $2,616,643,000 to $4,278,155,000, or 63.5 per cent, and the United States navy from $402,352,000 to $1,445,992,000, or 259.4 per cent. CITIZENSHIP CLASS Attention of all persons of foreign birth in Orange county contemplating citizenship in the United States, is called to the training class now available in connectio with the Santa Ana night school, under the direction of Mrs. Lenore Panunzio. This class is to be held every Wednesday from 7 to 9 P.M. at the junior high school on North Main street. All persons who are wishing to prepare themselves for the naturalization examination July 21, will find this class most useful, the instructor said. Others in terested in learning more of the United States government and the constitution, and who may be contemplating becoming United States citizens at some future time, will also find this class beneficial and are cordially invited to join. She added. It is the belief of those in charge that in all citizenship training, less emphasis should be placed on form and more on the spirit of government. It will be the aim in this class to so conduct the teaching and discussions that the members will not only be prepared to pass a particular examination on a few set questions, but they will be led to a deeper appreciation and understanding of the responsibilities of the government in which they are to participate. Mr. McMullen of the history department of Polytechnic high is to conduct the class. LEGION POST SUSPENDED ALTON is in the Santa Ana Hospital recovering from injuries. He is held under $10,000 ball on a manslaughter charge. His companions, who wore slightly in jure, are C. N. Granger, 711 North Berendo street; J. F. Boyer 1056 Normandie avenue; L. M. Munford, 24 Windward avenue. The husband of the dead woman, Louis Ware, was also slightly hurt in the accident. Reports from Santa Ana yesterday stated arrangements for the release of Alton on ball are being made and that he will probably be released as soon as he is able to leave the hospital. WEALTH OF UNITED STATES The American nation, reputed to be the richest in the world, is worth $320,803,862,000, the department of commerce reported. In ten years between December 31, 1912, and December 31, 1922, when the last survey was made the national wealth increased 72.2 per cent. On December 31, 1912, it was placed at $189,299,664,000. The huge increase in the money value of the nation's wealth, the department said, is due principally to the rise in prices in recent years and not entirely to a corresponding increase in the quantity of wealth, as economists figure it. All classes of property, except livestock, increased in value in the ten-year period, the department reported. The estimated value of taxed real property and improvements increased from $96,923,406,000 to $155,908,625.000 or 60.9 per cent. Exempt real property, exclusive of national parks and monuments, rose from $12,313.520,000 to $20,505,819,000, or 66.5 per cent. Stocks and goods, vehicles, other than motor, furniture and clothing rose from $34,334,291,000 to $75,983.607,000, or 121.3 per cent. Railroads and their equipment rose from $16,148,532,000 to $19,950,800.000, or 23.5 per cent. Privately owned telephone and transmission enterprises other than railroads increased from $9,572,955,000 to $13,607,570.000, or 42.1 per cent. Manufacturing machinery, tools and implements rose from $6,091,451,000 to $15,753,260,000, LEGION POST SUSPENDED Suspension of the charter of Daylight Post, American Legion, of San Francisco, for its publicly expressed stand against the organization's fight for the adjusted compensation measure, was sustained Sunday by the executive committee of the California department of the ex-service men's organization. State Commander James F. Collins ordered the suspension of the charter of the San Francisco post for which he termed "desertion under fire" in the stand for the adjusted compensation measure a week ago and the action taken Sunday affirms the state commander's order. The charter of Daylight Post is suspended until the next Department convention to be held in Monterey in August. In the face of the American Legion's stand for the passage of the adjusted compensation measure, Daylight Post publicly went on record against the bill. The charges against the post as presented by Seth Millington, Jr., of Colusa; State Commander Collins of Long Beach; and Fred F. Bebergall, former State Adjutant, of San Francisco, were as follows: "That said post has been guilty of conduct prejudicial to the best interests of the American Legion. "Publishing statements that as a post of the American Legion it was opposed to the adjusted compensation bill as approved by the American Legion in state and national conventions. "Announcing that the post, through its board of governors, had authorized its commander to join the national committee of American Legion Posts Opposed to the Bonus. "Conduct unbecoming an American Legion Post by holding the national organization up to public contempt and ridicule by publicly denouncing a policy regularly adopted by the American Legion. "That said post adopted insidious and unergroup methods in dissem- Stocks and goods, vehicles, other than motor, furniture and clothing rose from $34,334,291,000 to $75,983,607,000, or 121.3 per cent. Railroads and their equipment rose from $16,148,532,000 to $19,950,800,000, or 23.5 per cent. Privately owned telephone and transmission enterprises other than railroads increased from $9,572,955,000 to $13,607,570,000, or 42.1 per cent. Manufacturing machinery, tools and implements rose from $6,091,451,000 to $15,753,260,000, or 159.1 per cent, an indication of the industrial expansion of the country. Farm implements and machinery increased from $1,368,225,000 to $2,604,348,000, or 90.4 per cent. Other increases reported follow: "Announcing that the post, through its board of governors, had authorized its commander to join the national committee of American Legion Posts. Opposed to the Bonus. "Conduct unbecoming an American Legion Post by holding the national organization up to public contempt and ridicule by publicly denouncing a policy regularly adopted by the American Legion. "That said post adopted insidious and unergroun methods in disseminating the information relative to the action of said post by forwarding the results of said vote to the City Club Post of New York City before giving it to department headquarters. "All of which is contrary to the Elect Herbert H. Oelke CANDIDATE FOR ELECTION TO THE OFFICE OF CITY TREASURER An Ex-Service Man Qualified to Make Good City Election April 14 ANAHEIM GAZETTE American Legion, and traitorous and unfair." The fourth charge was denied by the accused, and not pressed. Daylight Post may appeal its case to the national executive committee of the Legion or it may retract its stand against the adjusted compensation measure and seek re-instatement locally. AL JOLSON'S "CALIFORNIA" SONG Lots of songs have been based on the sun-bathed charms of California, and there are surely few places in the western world more worthy of being sung in song. It is not astonishing, therefore, that no less a popular stage personage than Al Jolson himself should have found it impossible to resist the urge. Here he is, then, as part author of a genuine new song hit whose happy title is "California, Here I Come." There is something peculiarly significant about that title, too. Al Jolson, perhaps the most popular singer and comedian in the country today, is starring in his big musical success, "Bombo." In this he is singing "California, Here I Come" as the big song feature, and every day he and his merry show draw nearer to the Coast. Thus the title possesses right now an added spice an appropriateness. Al Jolson is assured of a royal welcome on his western tour, for besides everything else, California is where he hails from. No wonder the new song is such a glorious tribute to the State! It is a splendid example of what a real popular song should be, and its whole-hearted spirit is reflected in the happiest possible way in the lilt and the lure of its re- M.Eugene Durfee ARCHITECT Room 5, Cassou Bldg.
