VOLUME LIV COUNCIL ASKED TO REMOVE K.K. SIGNS PETITION, NUMEROUSLY SIGNED, PRESENTED TO THE BOARD THURSDAY Mystic Messages to Passing Members of the Klan Painted on Our Pavements Obnoxious to the Citizens and a Violation of the State Law—Trustees Announce Steps Already Taken to Remove Them — Saturday, October 18, Fixed for Power Plant Election. Following the count of the ballots cast at Tuesday's election, which disclosed the fact that the Ku Klux Klan strength is a minority faction of the city's voting population, the klan lettering and hieroglyphics which for months have defaced the pavements in various sections of the city, became exceedingly obnoxious to the people opposing the invisible empire. It out into the light of day, by means of a petition to the city council demanding that the K. K. K. and KIGY letters be wiped from the streets of Anaheim. They dragged it right up into the council chamber—right into the house of its friends—and threw it right in the faces of the "Big Four." What a dreadful sight it made, more dead than alive. Deserted by its former friends and supporters. Dirty and bedraggled. Even the reverend (?) kleagle could not recognize it any more. Slaback fumed and the mayor fidgeted. Then up spoke Councilman Hassen and told us how he had already, several days ago discussed with the city manager about taking the disgraceful signs from off the city streets, but they were waiting to find something that would destroy the lettering without injuring the paving. There you had a revelation of legislative and councillanic wisdom! Somebody thought soap and water would do the job. Others thought that those who painted the signs could lick them off, like an Irishman kissing the Blarney stone. There was a strong suspicion that Councilman Hassen didn't consult the city manager until he knew the storm was breaking over the K. K. K. signs. He wouldn't kick the poor old K. K. Following the count of the ballots cast at Tuesday's election, which disclosed the fact that the Ku Klux Klan strength is a minority faction of the city's voting population, the klan lettering and hieroglyphics which for months have defaced the pavements in various sections of the city, became exceedingly obnoxious to the people opposing the invisible empire. Wednesday evening a mass meeting was held at the Schumacher headquarters on East Center street for the purpose of protesting against the defacement of the streets in violation of the state law. Petitions were prepared asking the city council to immediately remove these signs and the following day they were circulated on the streets. At the meeting of the council Thursday night a petition containing 469 names was presented asking the council to order the removal of the "K. K. K.'s the "K. I. G. Y.'s" and any other mystic signs that may convey a message to the initiated but are meaningless to other people. The petition recited that the person or persons responsible for the paintings violated the state law and it was the duty of the officials to remove them forthwith. After City clerk Merritt read the petition Councilman Hasson stated that the board had already taken steps to have the obnoxious letters removed. The city manager, he said, had been instructed to remove them and was endeavoring to devise a plan to wipe the paint off without injuring the pavement. Another petition prepared at the mass meeting asking the council to restore the flag pole to its time honored place at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets was in circulation Thursday. It was numerously signed but was not presented to the council that night. It is understood that it will be filed with the city clerk before the next meeting of the council. Saturday, October 18, was the date set for holding the election to vote upon the proposition to issue $240,000 in bonds for the erection of a municipal power plant. The trustees will canvass the vote the following Monday evening and should the bonds carry work on the plant will begin as soon as possible. For the special election to be held in October the voting precincts of the There you had a revelation of legislative and councilmanic wisdom! Somebody thought soap and water would do the job. Others thought that those who painted the signs could lick them off, like an Irishman kissing the Blarney stone. There was a strong suspicion that Councilman Hassen didn't consult the city manager until he knew the storm was breaking over the K. K. K. signs. He wouldn't kick the poor old K. K. K. until he had to. Just two days more, and our good people witnessed the welcome sight of some city employees coating over the K. K. K. and KIGY letters with hot tar. The same kind the Kluckers used on women in Texas, Oklahoma and other states. Put to a better use here. And not a tear was shed when the poor old K. K. K. Kat was thus buried beneath the hot tar. Well, now, that might be wrong. Perhaps the Anaheim kleagle and his partner in distress, Ernest, slobbered solemnly because the K. K. K. kleokens would not continue to roll in their direction so rapidly and regularly. No doubt the mayor sighed a sigh of relief when the job was done—as it had to be. No fooling! And now another job awaits the Councilmanic Klansmen. The people of Anaheim want their flag pole back in its wonted place. Tis said that it was removed in the dark of night. Nobody knows who ordered its removal. The city council never took such action. Perhaps the archives of the K. K. K. would reveal the secret! Passing strange how the wireless messages pass from the Konklace to the "present city administration," as the local Klan organ calls the "Big Four." Oh, Kamelia, this is SOME town. Oh, Kamelia, we are having SUCH a time. THIS MAN WANTS A JOB Anaheim, Calif. September 1, 1924 Editor, Gazette, Anaheim, California: Dear Sir: This is labor day and I have no job.

The trustees will canvass the vote the following Monday evening and should the bonds carry work on the plant will begin as soon as possible. For the special election to be held in October the voting precincts of the city were consolidated into four precincts to be known as A. B. C. and D. Election boards were named for these precincts. Precincts 1, 2 and 11 were combined to form precinct A, with J. H. Enearl, judge; M. O. Hensley, inspector, Freda Janss and Charles Fay, clerks named for the board in this precinct. Pricincts 3, 4, and 12 and the territory recently annexed known as the industrial tract, will combine to make precinct B. The election board in this include Asa H. Squires, judge; Fred B. Kern, inspector, Genevieve Fording and Susie I. Jayne, as clerks. Precincts 5, 6 and 7, form consolidated precinct C. The election board is William Houser, judge, C. C.

Oh, I know I'd have to join the Klan, but when a man is out of a job he might be induced to join any old thing to get work. But I'd rather have the job as kleagle.

If the Anaheim Kleagle gets half that much out of the suckers, he ought to be able to pay his rent. Yes, siree! Mr. Editor, please do the best you can for me. UNEMPLOYED. CONSCIENCE GOT HIM IN JAIL After a career of check writing more than two years ago involving more than $600 profits from victims, Bert Shaw of Talbert, was suddenly confronted by his conscience. Shaw, who is in the County Jail with his former partner in operations, Harold Melvin, 22 years of age, of Compton, met Constable Jess Elliott on the street in Santa Ana and bounded by remorse, unburdened himself to the officer. "I want to look the world in the face again," Shaw explained. Melvin, when arrested at Compton was not nearly so enthusiastic for NAHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, September 4, 1924 DEFENSE TEST PROGRAM IS COMPLETE LEGION POST AND CITIZEN'S COMMITTEE READY FOR DEMONSTRATION Ceremonies Are to Be Held in Evening, After the Close of Business—Legion Posts From Other Cities Will Probably Assist — Every City and Town in the United States to Observe the Day, Which Is Anniversary of the Battle of St. Mihell. Notwithstanding the untimely efforts of long haired pacifists and sentimental sub-sisters to put a quietus on the movement, preparations for the Defense Test Day demonstration are now complete throughout the length and breadth of the land. Friday, September 12, is the day fixed by the government for mobilization of the forces being licked into shape for defensive purposes in case this nation is again dragged into a war. This date community in the United States. Q—How is it to be conducted? A—By state and local civilian committees, acting in conjunction with local military commanders. Q. What are these state and local civilian committees to represent? A—It is intended that these committees shall represent the state and local agencies which, in an emergency declared by congress, would be used in procurement of man power under either a voluntary or selective system. The demonstration will be held here in the evening, after the close of business. As other cities in the county hold their celebrations during the day it is believed that posts from neighboring towns will assist Anaheim in the evening. The post assisted by a citizen's committee, has arranged a program that will be of interest to all patriotic people, who believe that the most effective means of preserving peace is to demonstrate to your covetous and belligerent neighbor that you are prepared and competent to knock his block off if he attempts to crowd you. BOGUS CHECKS CAUSE BIG LOSS IN BUSINESS Orange County Merchants Lose Half A Million Annually BOND PROPOSAL STRENUOUSLY OPPOSED MANY CITIZENS BELIEVE MUNICIPAL PLANT IS NOT CRYING NECESSITY Baulk at the Heavy Bond Proposition and Are Lining Up to Fight It On October 18.—Bonds For Any Purpose Unpopular With the People At the Present Time. Besides Many Believe City Can Buy Power Cheaper Than It Can Make It. Determined opposition to the issuance of $240,000 in bonds for the construction of a municipal power plant appears to be developing and when the date of election arrives this opposition will be organized into a sufficient force to defeat the proposal, it is claimed. Eight years ago Anaheim dismantled its power plant and contracted with the Southern California Edison Company to supply the Notwithstanding the untimely efforts of long haired paficists and sentimental sob-sisters to put a quietus on the movement, preparations for the Defense Test Day demonstration are now complete throughout the length and breadth of the land. Friday, September 12, is the day fixed by the government for mobilization of the forces being licked into shape for defensive purposes in case this nation is again dragged into a war. This date is the sixth anniversary of the battle of St. Miheil, the first scrap on European soil in which the opposing powers learned that the American dogs of war had teeth. It is also the date on which General Pershing, head of the army, gives up his command and retires to private life. Morris W. Martinet, Jr., commander of Anaheim Post, American Legion, makes public the following relative to the celebration. A great deal of opposition to the Defense Day Test as outlined by our government is based for the greater part on a misunderstanding and a misconception of its fundamental purpose due to the lack of correct information. Below are a few questions and answers regarding this day, as compiled by Major General Chas. G. Morton, commanding the Ninth Corps Area. These will enlighten the public and will assist our citizens, both civilian and military, to a better understanding of the entire subject. Q—What is the eDefense Test? A—An explanation and tryout of plans prepared for our national defense with added patriotic ceremonies. Q—What is its purpose? A—Its primary purpose is to enable our people to see for themselves and to understand the initial steps necessary to muster our man power for national defense. Q—What are some of the initial processes? A—the filling to full strength of the various units of the army of the United States and the steps, necessary to provide for their supply, shelter, payment, training, medical care and attention, etc. Q—Why is it necessary to hold a "Defense Test?" A—Because in our past emergencies, from the time of our Colonial wars, up to the beginning of the world war, we have had no adequate plans for maintaining troops through an emergency. We have heretofore peace is to demonstrate to your covetous and belligerent neighbor that you are prepared and competent to knock his block off if he attempts to crowd you. BOGUS CHECKS CAUSE BIG LOSS IN BUSINESS Orange County Merchants Lose Half A Million Annually Orange county merchants lose annually $500,000 through bad credit accounts and in the cashing of bad checks, according to estimates of losses from these sources compiled by Robert Conway, general manager of the Orange County Credit Association. At the same time Edward McWilliams, director of the bond department of the First National bank of Santa Ana, estimated that Orange county investors lose annually approximately $350,000 through investments made in stocks and bonds that may be properly termed fraudulent securities. McWilliams added the further interesting information that national statistics on finance disclose that successful corporations are as 1 to 800, in other words investors who place money in new corporation projects have one chance in 800 to win. Giving credit without investigation of the applicant for such favor and fear of giving offense by refusing to cash a check proffered is assigned by Conway as the cause of the tremendous losses sustained by the merchant in operation of their merchandizing enterprises. "Merchants must make a statement of their financial standing and their assets when they apply to a wholesaler or manufacturer for credit, but when it comes to selling those same goods on credit, as a rule they make no investigation as to the qualifications of a debtor to meet contracted obligations when they are due," Conway said. Amplifying his statement of the estimated losses by Orange county investors, McWilliams said that investments too frequently are made in enterprises where there is no possibility of returning a reasonable interest on the capitalization or the capital stock issued. According to Conway, merchants in this county lose annually around $400,000 by bad accounts and approximately one hundred thousand dollars peacefully to demonstrate to your covetous and belligerent neighbor that you are prepared and competent to knock his block off if he attempts to crowd you. Determined opposition to the issuance of $240,000 in bonds for the construction of a municipal power plant appears to be developing and when the date of election arrives this opposition will be organized into a sufficient force to defeat the proposal, it is claimed. Eight years ago Anabelm dismantled its power plant and contracted with the Southern California Edison Company to supply the city with power and light on the ground that the company could sell juice to us cheaper than we could manufacture it. Now it is proposed to speed a large sum of money in rehabilitating the plant or building a new one, because it is contended we can manufacture electricity cheaper than we can buy it. This contention is denied by persons posted on the cost of production at the old plant. The Edison Company's figures were far below the actual cost of manufacture at the city's power house eight years ago, and they point out that the cost of labor buildings, machinery fuel and all necessary material and equipment is much higher now than in the pre-war days. However, people are less disposed to argue cost of production than they are to discuss the proposal to issue a large block of bonds. Bond issues for whatever purpose, are looked upon with disfavor just now. The governments at Washington and Sacramento are preaching and practicing retrenchment and economy, and are urging local political governments to avoid incurring unnecessary debts. Lower taxation is a popular slogan now and people who applaud economy in national and state expenditures will also demand it of their municipal governments. Twice of late the people of this high school district have defeated bond issues for school purposes which were undoubtedly necessary for school expansion. They were turned down because there is a strong sentiment against incurring additional bond indebtedness for any purpose. It is reasonable to believe, therefore, that a proposal to float $240,000 for a municipal power plant which hundreds of voters believe unnecessary, and many would oppose even if it could be built without increasing the city's indebtedness, will meet an invincible opposition. The curtailment of power owing to the shortage of water has been an annoyance and a detriment to the com- reform. He appeared much disgusted at Shaw's confession which led to his own trapping. Shaw told the officer that more than two years ago he and Melvin has passed bogus checks aggregating $600. Ever since, my conscience has been killing me, he declared. Shaw, who is an oil worker, pointed out some of the stores he had victimized. He wants to make up the financial losses of his victims, he said. So many prominent citizens seem to have no time to be anything else. Amplifying his statement of the estimated losses by Orange county investors, McWilliams said that investments too frequently are made in enterprises where there is no possibility of returning a reasonable interest on the capitalization or the capital stock issued. According to Conway, merchants in this county lose annually around $400,000 by bad accounts and approximately one hundred thousand dollars by no fund and forged checks. The county losses are of particular interest in connection with a statement by the committee on public affairs, of the American Institute of Accounts, that "financial crimes" in the United States cause a loss annually of three billion dollars. The statements issued on a survey made by the committee. A loss of one billion six hundred million dollars is credited to embezzlement and forgeries. "Losses from stock frauds are chiefly due to the sale of corporate securities of no actual or potential value and the losses resulting from bucket shop and other illegal forms of trading in securities," says the statement. "Over three billion dollars have been stolen from the people of this country since the close of the war through the sale of spurious securities." Suggesting a remedy for conditions that make such gigantic losses by the mercantile world possible, the committee says that "since crimes are prompted by opportunity and seldom occur if proper safeguards are rigidly enforced, the remedy lies in the use of procedures and office appliances and upon the making of adults, which discourage embezzlement, forgery and financial misrepresentation." The crested fly catcher hunts a snake skin for his nest. is a strong sentiment against incurring additional bond indebtedness for any purpose. It is reasonable to believe, therefore, that a proposal to float $240,000 for a municipal power plant which hundreds of voters believe unnecessary, and many would oppose even if it could be built without increasing the city's indebtedness, will meet an invincible opposition. The curtailment of power owing to the shortage of water has been an annoyance and a detriment to the community, and is the chief reason why the trustees are seeking to build a plant, but it is announced on the authority of the state that the ban will be lifted the first of November and an ample supply will be furnished all consumers from that date. The Edison company will soon be in a position to guarantee its customers against a future annoyance of this kind. "All records for steam plant construction are being broken this summer by the crew which is building the new Edison plant at Long Beach" said W. L. Deimling, on his return from a meeting of Edison district managers held in Los Angeles on Monday. "As soon as our large new water power plant No. 3 of 100,000 horsepower capacity in normal years, was finished last August, consideration was given to increasing our steam reserve. In October plans were started for an additional steam electric plant at Long Beach, adjacent to the original 70,000 horsepower plant at that location. "When the water shortage became apparent these plans were changed, only to speed up the installation of the 110,000 horsepower new steam plant No. 2 at a cost of 10 million dollars, but also to install three emergency units, totalling 30,000 horsepower in the original plant, now known as..."

On February 25 a night telegram was sent to see what emergency equipment could be sent west. The next day one engineer at Akron, Ohio, and another in Lynn, Massachusetts, while at the same time an investigation was made of a machine in Havana, Cuba. The engineers found three machines finished and in shape for immediate shipment a 35,0000 horsepower generator at Akron and two 8000 horsepower generators at Lynn. Complete measurements of these machines were sent by long distance telephone. A crew of draftsmen was set to work and in one week complete plans were ready and the crew at Long Beach had started foundations. To supply these generators eight additional boilers were necessary. The first battery of four boilers were installed and "bricked in" in 23 days, and the second battery was completed in 17 days, a record which the engineers in charge declare will stand for all time. By July third the first generator had been installed, tested out and put into operation. Eighteen days later the two others were finished, making a complete installation of 30 horsepower in a little over four month establishing a new record for speed in steam plant construction. While this was going on work was also being rushed on the 100,000 horsepower No. 1 consisting of two turbines. OLD LANDMARK GIVES WAY TO NEW HOME HENRY KROEGER RESIDENCE ON EAST CENTER CROWDED FROM FOUNDATION Was the Pride of Anaheim When Completed More Than Half a Century Ago, and Was Center of Social Life For Many Years—Moved off to Make Room for John Brunworth's New Modern Residence. — One of Finest Homes in the City Now Being Built. Fifty two years ago, Henry Kroeger then mayor of Anaheim, built a residence on his ranch, cornering at East and Center streets. This ranch was one of the plots of the original town-site and fell to Mr. Kroeger's lot in the distribution of plots. Like all the other colonists Mr. Kroeger reclaimed his land from its wild state, cultivated it, and made the ground, yield big profits. The home he built in 1872, was in 17 days, a record which the engineers in charge declare will stand for all time. By July third the first generator had been installed, tested out and put into operation. Eighteen days later the two others were finished, making a complete installation of 30 horsepower in a little over four month establishing a new record for speed in steam plant construction. While this was going on work was also being rushed on the 100,000 horsepower plant No. 2, consisting of two turbogenerators of 50,000 horsepower each the largest to be installed west of Chicago. Two thousand tons of special structural steel are required for the job. This order was placed with the Bethlehem Steel Company, February twentieth. Twelve days later fifty per cent of the order was ready and shipments had started to the Llewellyn Iron Works, which have charge of fabrication and erection. Nearly all of this steel is now in place and the concrete walls are being poured. Eleven thousand piles of an average length of 45 feet were driven as a sub-foundation. On these there rests a re-enforced concrete "mat" 200 feet long, 75 feet wide and seven feet thick which in turn supports the massive concrete pillars that form the foundation for the steel structure. These piles are sufficient to build an ordinary pier 20 feet wide and two miles long. Preliminary to actual construction work eight miles of railroad track were laid, on which are operated a standard locomotive, three locomotive cranes and a host of cars of various types. A camp was built on the site where 500 men get their meals and 250 men are housed. To date 1979 carloads of material have been delivered, including 216 cars of piling, 173 cars of lumber, 364 cars of gravel, 190 cars of sand, 93 cars of cement, 56 cars of structural steel, 25 cars o fre-enforcing steel and 79 cars of boiler brick equipment. "In common with everyone else in California, we fondly hope for a normal rainfall this coming winter. But even if next winter should be as dry as the past winter, this splendid new steam electric plant at Long Beach, which will be ready to operate by December first, seven months ahead of schedule, will supply plenty of power to insure the community against any shortage next year." Mr. Diemling concluded. Fifty two years ago Henry Kroeger then mayor of Anaheim, built a residence on his ranch, cornering at East and Center streets. This ranch was one of the plats of the original townsite and fell to Mr. Kroeger's lot in the distribution of plots. Like all the other colonists Mr. Kroeger reclaimed his land from its wild state, cultivated it, and made the ground, yield big profits. The home he built in 1872, was then considered a mansion and was the pride of Anaheim. It was a large house of thirteen rooms and embodied the best features of the architecture of the day. For many years it was the center of social activities in the new born city and was known through out the Southland. But while the big home was up-to-date half a century ago, it was woefully lacking in the conveniences of the present day dwellings, which add to the ease and comfort of the dwellers, consequently John Brunworth son-in-law of Mr. Kroeger and present owner of the place, decreed that it should give way to a modern structure. The house mover was called in. He put skids under the old landmark, chanted it fifty feet to the rear, and set it down on a foundation with its face turned to the east. So sturdy and substantial was the old structure that this was accomplished with no damage whatever with the exception that two small cracks appeared in the plastering covering the chimney. The proud mansion, as the Gazette fifty-two years ago on chronicling its completion called it, which for half a century was known as 1109 East Center street, is now 105 North East street. On its old site Mr. Brunworth is now erecting one of the most commodious and beautiful residences in the city. The new home stands closer to the street than the old one, but a portion of the building covers ground occupied by the old one. It is a two story stucco structure, containing every convenience known to modern builders that could add to the comfort of the family. This house contains nine rooms, besides the bathrooms, clothes rooms, closets, sun parlor and cellar. A portion of it is finished in mahogany and its floors are all hardwood. Carpenters are now at work on the inside finishings and it is expected the house will be ready for occupancy within a YOUNG LADY KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Several Persons Badly Injured In The Smashup Miss Mary Marshburn, aged 22, is dead, her father, Dr. W. V. Marshburn of Yorba Linda has four broken ribs; one Filipino boy is unconscious and hovering near to death, two others are more or less dangerously injured though in the hospital, and six others were attended by the doctor, as a result of a collision between a Reo truck loaded with the P. M. O. A. packing house picking crew and a Buick touring car driven by Dr. Marshburn. The accident occurred at the intersection by the Richfield school about 4:40 Wednesday evening. The Buick was proceeding south and the Reo truck driver was going west on the Richfield boulevard. It is reported that the doctor signalled to make a right turn and the truck driver when he realized that he could not slow down, swung to the left side of the boulevard with the idea that the two cars would run parallel. But Dr. Marshburn evidently attempted to cross the boulevard ahead of the truck and the Buick was struck broad In common with everyone else in California, we fondly hope for a normal rainfall this coming winter. But even if next winter should be as dry as the past winter, this splendid new steam electric plant at Long Beach, which will be ready to operate by December first, seven months ahead of schedule, will supply plenty of power to insure the community against any shortage next year."

Carpenters are now at work on the inside finishings and it is expected the house will be ready for occupancy within a few weeks. Mr. Brunworth is thinking of cutting into lots the Center street frontage of his orange orchard and putting them on the market. This is a desirable residence section and the lots would no doubt find a ready sale. side just at the driver's seat and was pushed, it is said, about 17 feet into a telegraph pole. In the jam Miss Marshburn's neck was broken and she died before passerby's could get medical assistance. The injured Filipinos were brought to the Anaheim hospital in the ambulance. Two were pick-up unconscious with bruises and cuts about the face. The third one to be taken to the hospital had severe cuts and bruises on the face and both wrists sprained. The picking crew was on its way home from work. The heavy truck has the front jammed in, the steering geer bent, and the body smashed. The owner and driver of the truck was uninjured but the men on the seat beside him were injured the most seriously. The men on the rear were seated on boxes. Dr. Marshburn's car is badly wrecked. Had the telephone pole not hindered the car it would probably have turned over.
