FIRE BUG LOOSE ON ILLINOIS STREET SIX ALARMS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD DURING THE PAST TWO WEEKS Two Homes Broken Into and Fire Kindled in the Interior—Garage at C. A. Gibson's Home Destroyed Saturday Night—Well Known Woman of the Neighborhood Suspended of Being a Pyramidist—All the Fires Were of Incendiar Origin—One Home Fired Twice. A reign of terror exists down on Illinois street, and dwellers on that peaceful thoroughfare are sleeping with one eye and both ears open, expecting to see flames burst forth in their midst, or hear the dread cry of fire. Who will be the next victim is to in the report of the Committee of Fifty, which is as follows: "The Secretary was asked to ascertain the probable tax rate. No amount is suggested so estimates are based on a million dollars. It is said with authority that if sold now, bonds yielding 4 1-2 would find a ready market. At this rate, $45,000 would be the interest cost for a year. However the first year only about half that sum would be spent so the interest charges would be only $22,500. "The assessed value of Orange county—1923-24, is over $154,000,000. A one cent rate yields $15,400. A 1 1-3 cent rate would yield $23,100. The rate would be 1 46-100 cents. The second year, the valuation, following the average growth for the past ten years, will be about $170,000,000 and $45,000 would be the charge for interest. On this amount the rate would be 2 65-10 cents. "Property is assessed for about 1-3 of its actual value—i.e., a man having 10 acres of orange grove worth about $8,000 an acre would have an assessment of $10,000. The taxes on such a grove would be: first year $1.46 and for the second year $2.66." In reply to Mr. Martin's letter the Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce writes. "The figures used in the tax statement are based on a million dollars. The cost of any bond" WHAT'S That Anaheim is sick atent time, no citizen will attny.

It ad A reign of terror exists down on Illinois street, and dwellers on that peaceful thoroughfare are sleeping with one eye and both ears open, expecting to see flames burst forth in their midst, or hear the dread cry of fire. Who will be the next victim is a question that all are asking but no man can answer. For there is a firebug at large in the neighborhood, apparently some pyromaniac whose only object in kindling the fire is to enjoy the excitement caused by a burning house. Six fires have occurred on that short street within two weeks, and in every instance there was unmistakable signs that it was the work of an incendary. Two homes were broken into while the people were away and a fire started in the interior in order that it might gain greater headway before discovery. An attempt was made on one residence twice in one night. The first time a fire was started under the porch, but it burned itself out before communicating with the house. Then the maniac burst open the door, the family being absent, and kindled a blaze in the linen closet. It was discovered in time to save the walls of the house but the interior was destroyed. When the alarm was sounded Saturday night and the fire department made a run toward the west, it was intuitively felt by persons whose homes are in that neighborhood that it was another Illinois street fire as the department had been called there on the two previous Saturday nights to extinguish flames. Their surmise was correct. A garage at the home of C.A. Gibson, at 507 S. Illinois street, was found to be in flames, but the fire had gained such headway that it was practically a total loss. Suspicion points to a woman living in the neighborhood as the guilty party who has been causing all the excitement. She is a quiet, inoffensive neighborly woman, always doing good deeds, and if she is the guilty party evidently she is an unfortunate pyromaniac and not responsible for her acts. Chief of Police Moody, it is said, was so convinced of her guilt that he openly charged her with the crime Saturday night, but positive evidence would be 2 65-10 cents. "Property is assessed for about 1.3 of its actual value—i.e. a man having 10 acres of orange grove worth about $8,000 an acre would have an assessment of $10,000. The taxes on such a grove would be: first year $1.46 and for the second year $2.65." In reply to Mr. Martin's letter the Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce writes: "The figures used in the tax statement are based on a million dollars. The cost of any bond issue can readily be ascertained from the figures given. "It would seem that every effort ought to be made to assist in some development which would reduce the burden of taxation on the farmers. At the present time the agricultural sections of Orange county carry about half the taxes and will continue to do so until some development in a new direction is secured. It seems entirely unfair to the farmer and agriculturist that he should be asked to carry burdens which are bound to increase in the future in spite of every economy on the part of the Board of Supervisors. Cut as much as they possibly can, there is no possible chance for a reduction in taxes except by development of new taxable values. New values will come with new industries and industries will come more quickly when harbor development is under way. There is no question about the greater possibilities which will come to Orange county when the harbor is developed. SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFALLS DR. ADAMS While in Chihuahua, Mexico He Falls Breaking His Right Wrist and Hand. Dr. W.W. Adams has returned to his home in this city after an absence of several months, following a serious accident which befell him on May 20 in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The doctor was driving a mule along a mountain highway, being on his way to the town of Ocampo, to file papers in a missing location, when he fell and broke his right wrist in two places also his hand. He was alone at the time, and was compelled to walk several hours to an Indian reservation where he found very little assistance. He continued on his way to the nearest town, and it was not until the following day that he was able to secure know its devastating effect it gained its doctrine and things to be rulous to evil because it seeks to which all enterprising striving to preserve—pessimism and unity of action.

However, it is believed now that there will be no further incendiary fires in that neighborhood. ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR Orange County is putting the cart before the horse in the opinion of W. A. Martin, one of Orange County's most progressive realtors. In a recent letter to the Harbor Chamber of Commerce Mr. Martin says: "I am of the opinion that to a large extent we are trying to put the cart before the horse in Orange county. I notice the strenuous efforts of the various chambers of commerce over the country and about all you can hear is more industries." I am of the opinion that if all the chambers of commerce, all the service clubs and all really boards and other organizations over the county would put their entire efforts behind the harbor until the people were sufficiently educated that a bond issue could be carried and the harbor work started then the industries would come as fast as they could be properly accommodated. I feel sure that no large number of industries or large industries will locate with us until assured of water transportation." Continuing his letter, Mr. Martin asks for the figures showing the probable cost of a bond issue, as referred to above. GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY SET FOR DECEMBER 7 Committee Work For Observation—Citizens to Eat Orphan's Meal Sunday, December 7, which has been set aside as "International Golden Rule Day," will be observed quite generally throughout Southern California, New Mexico and Arizona, according to Dell A. Schweitzer, chairman of the Golden Rule committee for the Southwestern district. Following President Coolidge's endorsement of the day, governors of states, mayors of cities, pastors, welfare and civic leaders and women's clubs, reports to the chairman indicate, are cooperating in the movement, one of the objects of which is to have people share their prosperity with the wreaths under care of the American Near East Relief in Bible Lads. "The method of observance," says Chairman Schweitzer, "will vary with local conditions, but it is proposed that on Sunday, December 7, all per- AHEIM GAZETT Anaheim, California, Thursday, December 4, 1924 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ANAHEIM? That Anaheim is sick at the present time, no citizen will attempt to deny. A spirit of unrest, distrust and fear pervades the town, and uncertainty as to the future has touched it with a paralyzing finger. It is a city divided against itself, and will never regain its former healthy state until the cause of this division is removed. It is being throttled by the Ku Klux Klan, and until the destroying clutches of the Imperial Wizard are pried loose, no man can hope for a better state of affairs. Ninety per cent of the American people bitterly oppose and condemn the Klan because they know its devastating record wherever it gained a commanding foot-hold. They know its doctrine and its teachings to be rulern to every community because it seeks to destroy that which all enterprising towns are striving to preserve—peace, harmony and unity of action. The Klan bitterly opposes citizens of certain creeds who are numerous in every community, and denounces them for their adherence to the faith taught them by their forefathers. It advocates the of his henchmen, the charge is made that Price ordered his solicitors to offer special inducements to policemen and sheriff's officers to join the Klan. "When we get all these officers in," said Price, according to the affidavit, "we will take the blankety-blank fellow who are criticizing the Klan out for a joy ride at night, and when we set them down on the sidewalk again they will look more like Buff Orpington hens than human beings." Is it any wonder Anaheim is sick when it is controlled by an order which is under the government of such men as Price? Some days ago a prominent citizen of Los Alamitos was in the office and stated that he had read a notice posted near his town warning all tourists to detour Anaheim unless they belonged to the K. K. K. A tourist, a couple of weeks ago, spent some hours in this city, and pinched a U. B. A. button on his coat because he was in sympathy with the movement to eliminate the Klan from public affairs. Drifting into a cafe he ordered dinner but found himself Ig over which that order has control. If a majority of the people of a town are in sympathy with the Ku Klux, that town can never prosper." Harking backward over the history of Anaheim we find its people, from the days of the pioneers, working in unison for the advancement and prosperity of the town. Among the original settlers who blazed the way for those who followed after, were Protestants, Catholics and Jews, but the differences in religious opinions did not disturb the harmony of the small community. A narrow and bigoted spirit of intolerance has never been known in the city before today, and no man has ever dealt his neighbor the right to believe as he pleased on religious matters, nor questioned his worth and standing as a citizen because of the church or synagogue in which he worshipped God. There have been times when difference of opinion arose between the people on matters of public moment. The wet and dry question was on various occasions, thrashed out in heated campaigns, but the differences of opinion were no more deep-seated than time he deplored ents attended th what school offi to do toward pleaded for grea sion of children.

The Klan bitterly opposes citizens of certain creeds who are numerous in every community, and denounces them for their adherence to the faith taught them by their forefathers. It advocates the boycott, or, at least, obligates its members to patronize, if possible, only subjects of the Imperial Wizard, ruler of the Invisible Empire. Its record in communities where it was dominant shows that its policy is to persecute those who incur its displeasure either by personal violence, by the boycott, or by propaganda. In many instances, its history shows it has arrogated to itself the right to punish persons without due process of law—men and women who have never been convicted of wrong doing, but were only under suspicion. Many such instances have been recorded in the papers since the organization of the Klan nine years ago, and in our own fair city of Anaheim we had an example of it a couple of years ago, when the local membership was only fourteen. One man was ordered to leave the city within a given time under threats of dire punishment, and another, who had lifted up his voice in criticism of the underground bunch, was peremptorily ordered (by anonymous letter) to shut up or suffer the consequences. This is in keeping with a statement recently attributed to G. W. Price, Grand Goblin of the Ku Klux in California.

It is clean and fit by anyone anywhere. Long no man has ever denied the right to believe as he pleased on religious matters, nor questioned his worth and standing as a citizen because of the church or synagogue in which he worshipped God. There have been times when difference of opinion arose between the people on matters of public moment. The wet and dry question was on various occasions, thrashed out in heated campaigns, but the differences of opinion were no more deep-seated than those existing between adherents of the political parties that periodically fight for control of the nation. When the smoke of battle drifted away victors and vanquished forgot their animosities and joined hands in working for the city's advancement and their mutual interests. The town prospered and grew rapidly. It was the pride of all its citizens and the envy of all its neighbors. But those sunny days have departed from us, and will not return so long as the present cloud is hanging over us. The Invisible Empire now in control of the city preaches religious intolerance and class hatred. Harmonious action between a large and influential body of our citizens and the bigoted Klansmen is utterly impossible; therefore bitter sriffs and warfare will exist among us so long as the Cyclops and his followers have control of the city, and the people must suffer the consequences.

PARKIN SCHOOL BOYS IN LIQUOR SCANDAL Disclosures made by the District Attorney's office that at the Frances Willard Junior High School Santa Ana, young pupils have been drinking liquor and the appearance in court of Mrs. Ida Kredel, reputed wealthy widow, who lives in one of Santa Ana's fashionable residential districts, on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of two of her children because she is alleged to have given them wine, proved sensations in select circles last week. The complaint against Mrs. Kredel, said to be 36 years of age, who is charged jointly with W. R. Corey, reported to live at the Kredel home at 1319 North Broadway, was brought through the District Attorney's office by L. A. Warren, truant officer. Ball of $500 each was posted with Justice John Landell. Charges were filed according to Dep. Dist-Atty. C. N. Mosley, after Will H. Kellogg, principal of the school at which children of many of the city's foremost citizens attend, is purported to have found two whiskey. Kellogg and J. C. Cranston, superintendent of schools, the principal had been investigating reports made to him by teachers that a few pupils apparently had been obtaining intoxicants for some time. It was when a report came to him that one of the Kredel boys came to the classroom in "somewhat abnormal" condition that suspicion was directed toward his locker. Mosley stated he was informed a different lock than that used by the school was found a temporary barrier. Under grilling by Kellogg the boys are alleged by the authorities to have told of bringing the wine to school from home, to have imbibed themselves and to have provided close friends among the students with intoxicants. The mother and Corey, whom they refer to as "Uncle," had made the asserted illicit product, the boys are said to have confessed to Kellogg, according to Mosley. The complaint alleged the two gave liquor to the two boys and their sister Betty, 7 years of age, and urged them to drink it. In continuing the youths are purported to have described "parties" given at the Kredel home, subsequent to which the children were asserted to have been given wine and sent to bed. Mosley added he was informed. Superintendent Cranston and Kellogg decided Truant officer Warren should bring the complaint based on the story by the youths. Mosley declared. In connection with Tuesday's disclosures it was recalled that last spring Superintendent Cranston called two "mass" meetings of parents, one held at the Junior High School and another at the High School, at which he told asserted discoveries he had made of students drinking, of petting parties and of other asserted vices. At the ETTE Number 8 time he deplored the fact so few parents attended the sessions, explained what school officials were attempting to do toward proper supervision, and pleaded for greater parental supervision of children. That Mrs. Kredel would fight the charge against her was indicated when L. A. West, her counsel advised the court that the product referred to as wine proved to be fermented grape juice. She trew out the concoction. West maintained, but the two boys, he added, were found to have taken two small bottles full of the product to school, a fact not then known to their mother. At the preliminary hearing, it was understood the prosecution would attempt to have the two sons and daughter testify against their mother.

The date of this convention was originally set for last May while the California Valencia Orange show was in progress, but when it was announced that the show was abandoned because of the prevalence of an epidemic Two fair descendants of "The Pied Piper of Hamlin Town, Miss Helen Caldwell and Miss Anna Wright have started a rat crusade in Anaheim. Contrary to what might be surmised, considering the creepy nature of their work, the girls are far from being either bold or terrible. They talk about their intentions with a reserved confidence that impresses their auditors. With a feeling that they know what they are talking about and are quite capable of doing what they claim. The pied piperesses have been in the city some days organizing a rodent drive. Consultations have been held with the health officers and City Attorney Webb is assisting them. An effort will be made to enlist the assistance and interest of merchants and manufacturers. Miss Caldwell states that they have been exterminating rodents for five years, having covered 27 states during that time. She states that there are two rats per capita in this country. It costs $1.80 to keep a rat alive for a single year. It costs about 25 cents to rid an ordinary house of rats and mice and about five or six dollars to clear the ordinary mercantile establishment. No magic and no music is involved in the methods employed by either Miss Wright or Miss Caldwell, although it is not promised that children and probably others will not follow the attractive visitors. The plan is very simple and has a scientific basis. All that is necessary is an intelligent use of barium carbonate, a poison harmless to humans and recommended by the government department of agriculture. After eating the poisoned rats will seek water before dying. Instances have been known where they have traveled over two miles before succumbing. CITRUS ORCHARD SURVEY The following review of "A Survey of Orchard Practices in the Citrus Industry of Southern California," by R. S. Valle, is taken from the last issue of the Experiment Station Record. "This is a careful analysis of owners' records kept during a five year period in approximately 1,000 Southern California citrus orchards indicating influence of various associations." Anaheim is making preparations to entertain all the real estate dealers in California Saturday, when the first convention of the California State Association of Realtors will meet here. The date of this convention was originally set for last May while the California Valencia Orange show was in progress, but when it was announced that the show was abandoned because of the prevalence of an epidemic among the live stock, the convention was postponed. December 6 was finally decided upon as the date, and on that day hundreds will gather here and exchange ideas. B. H. Sidnam, of this city, is president of the Associated Realty Boards of Orange County, and is in charge of the affair. All of the real estate men in the county are assisting in making preparations for the reception of the visitors, who will come from every county in the state, and many of whom will bring their wives. "The Industrial Conference here Saturday, will attract widespread interest, as it is the first conference of its kind ever held by the realtors of California," stated Mr. Sidnam today. "Since no request was sent out for advance registration, it is difficult to estimate the approximate number who will attend the gathering, but I believe that there should be a least 600 here from expressions we have heard from various cities. "An unusually interesting program has been arranged for the conference, which will last only one day, and we are hoping that Anaheim's business and industrial interests will be well represented at the gatherings, which will be open to the public. "Anaheim should receive a great deal of favorable publicity as a result of the conference, and we are hoping that its success will be so great that such conferences will hereafter become a yearly feature of the work of the state association." There is a plan on foot now for organization of all the real estate men in Northern Orange County in two central bodies. The plan is to bring all the dealers in Buena Park, Olive, Garden Grove and Cypress in to the Anaheim association, and those of Brea, Placentia and La Habra into the Fullerton board. The Anaheim association will make an effort this week to increase its membership and line up every realty dealer in the city in its CITRUS ORCHARD SURVEY The following review of "A Survey of Orchard Practices in the Citrus Industry of Southern California," by R. S. Valle, is taken from the last issue of the Experiment Station Record. "This is a careful analysis of owners' records kept during a five year period in approximately 1,000 Southern California citrus orchards indicating the relative influence of various factors, namely, climate, soil, age of trees, fertilizer, culture and irrigation, upon the profits bienness of citrus orchards." In general, citrus groves near the coast produced more fruit per acre than those in the interior valleys. In respect to soil, it was found that those orchards located on fine sandy loams gave the highest average yields. An apparently definite relationship was found between the age of trees and their producing capacities, yields steadily increasing with advancing age to approximately 36 years. Nitrogen and bulky organic manures appeared to be the only fertilizing materials of value for citrus trees. The average yield increased with nitrogen applications up to about 350 pounds per acre, but, as indicated in a previously noted paper, mottling of the leaves apparently followed excessive application of nitrogen. Orchards winter-cover cropped gave higher yields than clean cultivated orchards receiving fertilizers. Although approximately one-half of the groves considered in the study were plowed each spring, no significant difference was found in the average yields of the plowed and the unplowed orchards. A study of irrigation records showed that not only was less water used in the orchards near the coast, but that the intervals there is a plan on foot now for organization of all the real estate men in Northern Orange County in two central bodies. The plan is to bring all the dealers in Buena Park, Olive, Garden Grove and Cypress in to the Anheim association, and those of Brea, Placentia and La Habra into the Fullerton board. The Anaheim association will make an effort this week to increase its membership and line up every realty dealer in the city in its ranks. between profitable water applications were much longer than for interior orchards. Coast studies indicated that the citrus industry has reached a stage of stability; as a close agreement was noted between the growers' estimate of the exchange value of groves, the capitalization of the present earning power of groves, and the cost of developing new groves on land purchased at its present valuation for other crops. The larger yields of coastal orchards offset by higher land values, rendering net profits per acre for the two sections practically equal. Tabulations and a discussion of methods of technique employed in the analysis of the data are appended." Collision with a truck, with painful results to a fliver and its occupant, was described Wednesday in a suit filed in the superior court by Bautista Cortez, who asks $10,000 damages against the Orange County Rock and Gravel Company. Cortez was the occupant of the fliver, which he said was struck by a gravel truck at the intersection of Prospect and Chapman avenues, at McPherson, last September 19.
