State Going After Impostors Posing In Guise of Cops IMPOSTORS known to be operating on the highways under the guise of state traffic officers in various parts of the state brought a warning from Will H. Marsh, chief of the division of motor vehicles, to state motorists to beware of such persons and to make an immediate report of any person claiming to be an officer who demands money. One such impostor has bilked motorists of several hundred dollars in San Joaquin county by charging them with speeding or other violations, and then demanding ball for the court appearance of his victims. Other cases have come to Marah's attention of motorists who have been stopped by pseudo officers who have offered to "fix it up" on payment of certain sums. "Officers are not permitted to accept ball money or fines," Marah said. "Anyone making such demands should be regarded with suspicion and should be promptly reported to the nearest peace officer, as well as to us. We will welcome reports of WHEN PEOPLE ARE PAYING HEAVY TAX BILL Did Supervisor Finley Put One Over on the Board When, After Opposing Calling a Bond Election He Voted for One in October, When People Are Footing Up Their Taxes?—Talbert Asks for Jetty Repair. Coming on the heels of the defeat of the Santa Ana water bond election, when people of that city voted more than two to one against an issue of more than a million dollars for water development, the probable postponement of the Newport harbor bond election some week ago, set for October, to a date along in the coming spring, or possibly later next year comes with little surprise to taxpayers in the northern part of the county. Supervisor Finley, who has been opposed to putting the county to an expense of $10,000 for calling an election which he did not think the people would favor, and who later changed his vote to have the election in the annual tax-paying time, made the statement that if Santa Ana would not vote for water bonds, it would not vote for harbor bonds. The question arises, did Finley change his vote for a bond election in October, feeling it was the most important time in all the year to carry bonds, as a means of passing the buck to his associates? Whatever the reason, there now seems to be a disposition on the part of the bond adherents to cancel the October date and set the election over until some time next year. It now seems to be necessary for a Supreme court decision to throw light on the status of the harbor bonds, but this condition really existed when the board, some weeks ago, called the election. There is no disposition in this part of the county to bellittle the harbor or to disagree with its proponents at the beach towns, but the last two bond elections in this city—one for a large amount for betterments at the high school, and the other for a similar proposition to vote a quarter of a million dollars for an electric lighting plant—were hoplessly defeated. If Anaheim will not vote bonds for its high school, it will hardly vote bonds for a harbor. Santa Ana followed with an overwhelming defeat of its water bonds, and Finley says if that city will not vote for water bonds, it will not vote for harbor bonds. Then, of a sudden comes the discovery of the necessity for Supreme court action and if the higher court can hear the case in September, which is not altogether certain, the election may come in the spring. And if the court cannot hear the case until later, the election will suffer another postponement as a matter of course. The weather is warm, and people are trying to keep cool, but there seems to be a lot of official vaudeville among the harborites. Clyde Bishop adds to the galaity of the affair by saying that whatever the adverse vote outside of San Joaquin county by charging them with speeding or other violations, and then demanding bail for the court appearance of his victims. Other cases—have come to Marah's attention of motorists who have been stopped by pseudo officers who have offered to "fix it up" on payment of certain sums. "Officers are not permitted to accept ball money or fines," Marah said. "Anyone making such demands should be regarded with suspicion and should be promptly reported to the nearest peace officer, as well as to us. We will welcome reports of any of our officers making such demands. Their duty is to catch violators and not to collect money." Death Summons Old-Time Citizen J. H. Clabaugh, Former Santa Fe Agent, Dies Suddenly J. H. Clabaugh, who, for a third of a century was prominent in business circles here, passed away Sunday night. Some time during the night he was stricken with apoplexy and was found dead in his bed the following morning. Mr. Clabaugh was born in Missouri, and after coming to California, lived for a time at Lananda Park. In 1893 he came to Anaheim and assumed charge of the Santa Fe station as agent of that railroad. For 27 years he served in that capacity, but five years ago he was suddenly stricken down, and was sent to the company's hospital for treatment. He was forced to give up the position and its arduous duties. He gradually regained his strength afterward, and for a year or more past has been acting as agent for the California Food and Health Service Corporation, with an office on North Los Angeles street. Mr. Clabaugh was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, at Mason and a Knight of Pythias. He was also a member of two or three other societies, an das been prominent in church and lodge work during his long residence here. He leaves a widow and eight children. The children are: Mrs. Elsie Bath, Roy, Ernest and Lillian Clabaugh; Mrs. Rose Roberts, Harry Clabaugh; Mrs. Ada Perry and Elmer Clabaugh. Funeral services will be held at the Backs, Terry & Campbell parlors today. He was 64 years of age. ANAHEIM VOCALISTS BROADCAST FOR C. OF C.

And if the court cannot hear the case until later, the election will suffer another postponement as a matter of course. The weather is warm, and people are trying to keep cool, but there seems to be a lot of official vaudeville among the harborites. Clyde Bishop adds to the galaity of the affair by saying that whatever the adverse vote outside of Santa Ana, that city will poll enough votes to put the harbor bonds over. We commend Mr. Bishop to a careful perusal of Colonel Finley's statement. Is it really necessary that a court decision be had at this late date, or is this an easy way for the harborites to get out from under? There are many taxpayers in Orange county, many right in the city of Santa Ana, who, as they see the piles in the jetties churned up by the waves and the mouth of the harbor gradually filling up with sand, declare the half million dollars of good money expended there was absolutely thrown away. They object to throwing more good money away. The weather is warm and there will be time enough to talk of these things when the flowers are blooming again in the spring. Supervisor Talbert is quoted as favoring a tax levy of $50,000, to be immediately levied as a means of protecting the disintegrating jetties, which are the most sorrowful sight on the Southern California coast. This will be found to be a mere drop in the bucket—a very little drop in a very big bucket. Taxpayers in this neighborhood are wondering whether that money won't be thrown away. The question is being repeatedly asked. "Do taxpayers pay the county money to have the supervisors throw it away." General Lansing H. Beach, consulting engineer, and Warren K. Hillyard, county surveyor, are making a survey to determine the amount needed to protect the disintegrating jetties. Mr. Talbert estimates that 3-cent tax levy will be sufficient, as it will provide a fund of $45,000 or $50,000. "It looks like good business to me," he said.

We would do it if a big bridge, or a boulevard, or a costly building were going to pieces. If anyone individually owned that harbor, he would see that it was taken care of. Why shouldn't public business be as well taken care of?" Supervisor Talbert states that the reason for postponing the election is the necessity for securing a Supreme court decision on the validity of a bond issue. This would require time and make it impossible for the election to be called in the fall. The question, according to Talbert, is whether the county is entitled to proceed with a bond issue to improve the harbor, in view of a change in conditions, which have placed this county outside the scope of the harbor act. The act, as passed in 1919 to apply especially to Newport harbor, specified those harbors wherein tidallands had not been ceded by the state to county or city. The county voted a $500,000 bond issue for Newport harbor that year, after the act was adopted. In 1921, however, certain state tidallands were ceded to the county, so that the act no longer applies to Newport harbor. Local authorities, however, hold that, because the city commenced its harbor improvement program before the lands were ceded, the changed conditions will have no effect upon the validity of additional bonds.

That the police and municipal authorities would not cast an unfavorable eye on the fair be-painted ones, was stated today by Chief of Police Jack Tinsley of Huntington Beach. Tinsley declared that he "could see nothing wrong in the girls wearing the white duck trousers if they wished." Members of the city trustees hold the same view. "We have had no trouble with the girls here," Tinsley declared. He added that the girls in Huntington Beach and those who came there did not care to wear the pants unless they had their bathing suits beneath them. Many of the local girls have taken up the fad of wearing the white duck trousers with white middy ANAHEIM’S PARK IS A THING OF BEAUTY AMBITIOUS PLANS OF SUPT.

President Calvin Coolidge is chairman of the honorary committee and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge and Vice-President Charles G. Dawes are members. The most prominent men and women in the nation are taking an active part in the drive, and it is believed that every community in the United States will speedily subscribe its quota, as it has the endorsement of every patriotic citizen. The campaign in Anaheim will begin tomorrow, July 17, and our quota is placed at $1500. E. M. Everett is chairman of the drive here and announces that subscriptions can be left at either of the local banks, or that checks can be mailed to Anaheim Post No. 72. American Legion. Fifteen hundred dollars is a small sum for Anaheim to raise for such a cause, and it should be subscribed within a day. What shall be the fate of the child whose father dies fighting for his country? No American will question the rightness of giving to that child at least as good a chance in life as it would have had with a living father. No American will consent that one of these shall grow up in vicious, impoverished, neglected circumstances, uneducated, ill fed, half clothed, to curse the sacrifice that father made. The American Legion has pledged itself to find a home for every homeless orphan of a veteran, a home where health, education, affection and character building shall take the place of disease, ignorance, and development into lives of vice and crime. To fulfill this pledge the Legion has its national child welfare service, supported by the nation-wide membership and the auxiliary of women. Its program is simple, beginning with the determination to maintain the natural home if one parent survives and is at all capable, with temporary help, to maintain that home. Where no parent survives or no home seems possible, adoption into a family of carefully selected character is the objective. Foster homes are being found in growing numbers among Legion members, where the adoption of a soldier’s or sailor’s baby has an especial appeal. Of the five thousand cases of veteran’s orphans so far contacted by the Legion as needing help, many are cared for through local posts in prompt fashion. In some instances temporary and special provision is necessary, and for these children the Legion is establishing its series of children “millets,” which are group homes of the cottage type, conducted “family style” with six to twelve Jack Tinsley of Huntington Beach. Tinsley declared that he “could see nothing wrong in the girls wearing the white duck trousers if they wished.” Members of the city trustees hold the same view. “We have had no trouble with the girls here,” Tinsley declared. He added that the girls in Huntington Beach and those who came there did not care to wear the pants unless they had their bathing suits beneath them. Many of the local girls have taken up the fad of wearing the white duck trousers with white middy blouses. The trousers and blouses are worn in combination with the large Spanish hats now worn at the beaches. Tinsley declared that the girls in their immaculate white uniforms were rather pleasing to look at. Local young folks will receive the news that they may bask in the sunlight beneath the covering of a pair of white duck pants with joy. Many a sunburn has been avoided this year because of the pants, it is claimed by local beach loungers. FORMER CITIZEN DIES AT ONTARIO H. L. McClellan Passes Away in Newly Purchased Home Hector L. McLellan, who for many years was a resident of this neighborhood, his ranch home being on Placentia avenue, died Saturday night at his new home in Onotario, which he had occupied for only a few weeks. He was 64 years old. Mr. McLellan came here 43 years ago from Canada. His first residence was in Los Angeles, but 16 years ago he purchased the ranch property on Placentia avenue, and began growing oranges. Two years ago he disposed of his ranch and moved to Fullerton, where the family lived until five weeks ago, when they moved to Ontario. Mr. McLellan was one of the most prominent ranchers in this end of the county, and his death is deplored by his numerous friends here. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Nettie McLellan, three sons, Kenneth, Kordon and Donald, and two daughters, Nina and Virginia. Funeral services were held at the McAulay-Suters parlor at Fullerton. Tuesday afternoon, burial being at Loma Vista cemetery. Rev. Frank Dowling, a neighbor and old-time friend, conducted the services.

The most beautiful spot in California’s Garden of Eden is the ultimate end toward which Park Superintendent W. L. Ashleigh and the city fathers of Anaheim are gradually working in their plans for the Andehlia city park. Over $200,000 have been spent to date toward the realization of their dreams, and it is estimated that over $80,000 more will be spent within the next few years. In October, 1920, a bond issue of $100,-000 was voted for a municipal park, and the H. A. Dickle tract of a fraction less than 20 acres, lying between Palm and Lemon streets and north of Cypress street, was purchased for $70,000. The tract, when purchased, was planted to oranges and lemons, and very little was done toward park improvements until 1923, when a bond issue for another $100,-000 was voted for improvement purposes. Plans were then drawn for the park by Cook & Hall, lanscape architects of Los Angeles, and the buildings designed by City Engineer E. P. Hapgood. In August, 1923, a swimming pool and bathhouse was built at an initial cost of $37,700. The pool is 50x150 feet and from 2½ to 9 feet in depth and is equipped with a complete Sirch republication plant, which is known as the most modern development. In water purification, and insures the maximum number of days of operation of the pool with the lowest maintenance cost. The water in the pool is so clear that it has attracted wide notice, and so sterile as to meet the highest standards for water supplies, namely, the United States standard for water supplies used on common carriers engaged in interstate commerce. The bathhouse is modern in every respect, has 100 dressing rooms, rest rooms, a complete laundry for towels, suits, etc., lockers; first aid room and everything necessary to make it one of the most complete and up-to-date municipal plumings in Southern California, and as it stands today is an investment of over $52,000. In the near future a pergola is to be erected around the front and two ends of the pool and will eventually be covered with blue wisteria and Oregon evergreen grape. These two plants have already been set around the concrete walk surrounding the pool. Immediately in front of the plunge is to be erected a massive arcade administration building at a cost of $40,-000. This building will be divided into office rooms for all Anaheim civic organizations. Next year a band shell will be erected near the flag pole and facing the plunge. Between it and the site of the administration building a large music court, or amphitheatre, will be built with a table work will continue park in the mansion $8000 will be built There are at least seats, and a moo One disadvantage is the lack of space overcome this time planting medium on the northern paralleling Syco goon, bypass mammoth water West Family Is Sorely Afflicted Father's Death Follows Demise Of a Son Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Gibbs returned the first of the week from a visit to the Middle West. They went first to St. Paul, Mr. Gibbs being a delegate to the Kiwanis international convention. After the convention they went as far east as Chicago, and being a business man, Mr. Gibbs made it a point to investigate business conditions in all the places he visited. "In the three principal cities of this section which we visited and in which I was able to feel out general conditions, namely, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago, an extensive building program is under way which is representative of the steady, healthy growth these cities are experiencing. Optimism seems to dominate business conditions in general," declares Mr. Gibbs. On the road here they visited Salt Lake, Colorado Springs, Oakland and Santa Barbara. The trip was an enjoyable one, but they encountered hot weather in the Middle West. Twice within a week members of the West family were summoned by the angel of death. A couple of weeks ago Floyd West, member of the firm of West Brothers, garage owners, left for Toledo, Ohio, on receipt of news that his brother, Edgar West, was very ill. Shortly after he left his brother, Claudie partner in the business, was stricken with appendicitis and taken to the sanitarium, where an operation was performed. Last Thursday Floyd telegramged from Toledo that his brother, Edgar, was dead. George L. West, the father who was a prominent rancher on Brookhurst avenue received the telegram and was prostrated by the news. The shock was greater than his constitution could withstand, and he died Sunday morning. Funeral services were delayed, awaiting the arrival of Floyd, who was hastening home after burying his brother. The funeral will be held today at the chapel of Backs, Terry & Campbell. Mr. West has been a prominent citizen on the East Side for a number of years. The afflicted family have the sympathy of their numerous friends. The petition of Attorney Leonard Evans of Anaheim for an injunction to prevent the city of Fullerton from awarding a certain paving contract was today set down for hearing before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams Thursday. Evans, who owns property in the district proposed to be paved, contends that the paving proceedings have been irregular and will result in damage to the property owners. The proposed contract covers North Richman avenue and two other streets. On the west side of the park will also be the auto camp ground, with 21 two-car stalls, picnic grounds equipped with tables, seating areas and a moorish One disadvantage is the lack of shade overcome this planting medium in the Orange county.

SCHEU of Uplands parked his car on the cliffs near Boat canyon and took a stroll. When he returned to the place he believed he had left his automobile it was not there. He examined all the Buicks he could find in the vicinity, but his own had disappeared. So he hiked down to Laguna Beach and reported his loss to F. E. Howell, state traffic officer. Howell went up on the cliffs to scout around. He found where the car had been standing and the direction it faced. He noticed that the tracks led backward and he followed them to the edge of the bluff. Climbing down, he found the automobile with the engine and front wheel almost straight up and its rear end resting on the sand. The front portion of the machine was not scratched, but the rear was badly damaged. That was Saturday night.

Cookson Supposed to Have Been Murdered Sheriff's officers, posses of citizens and cowboys are combing the hills and canyons of Orange County Park in a search for the body of Mrs. Virginia Lee Cookson, who is supposed to have been murdered in the park Monday night. She spent Monday evening with friends at Orange, leaving at midnight for her home, driving alone through the lovely park. The next morning her car was found near the lake in the park, and marks of a violent struggle were evident. One of her shoes was found in the car, the other was under it, and her hat, crushed out of shape, was found nearby. Footprints of a man leading to the lak ewer also discovered. The alke was dragged by officers Tuesday, but the body was not found. Mrs. Cookson has been in the limelight for two or three years past because of her feud with the Modjeska Ranch Company over a water right. Some weeks ago she was in this office, searching the files of the paper for evidence to the effect that the ranch company had subjected her to much publicity. She was suing the company for $50,000, and won her suit, but was granted only $200 damages. Judge Williams stated that the publicity had not harmed her, but merely proved that she was a courageous woman, not afraid to fight for her rights. Preparations were made yesterday to again drag the lake. with tables, seats, barbecue pits, etc. Work will commence on this part of the park in the near future, and about $8000 will be spent in improvements. There are at present several tables, seats, and a modern community kitchen. One disadvantage of the picnic grounds is the lack of shade, and an attempt to overcome this will be made by transplanting medium-sized trees taken from the Orange county park. On the north side of the park and paralelling Sycamore street is a lagoon, bypass crossing rustic bridges, mammoth water-lilies, in profusion. That was Saturday night. On Sunday the wreck was viewed by thousands, who believed a tragedy had happened. Scheu notified the insurance company to salvage his car. The report of V. W. Hannum, superintendent of the power house, submitted to the city council last Thursday evening, indicates that Anaheim is still growing. During the month of June 24 new electric light meters, two power meters and 13 water meters were installed. These were all in new residences or new business establishments and this expansion of the service indicates that the town is still expanding. Warren Ashleigh, superintendent of the city park, also filed a report showing that the plunge at the park is almost paying its way. During the month of June 1946 persons took a bath in the swimming pool, and the total receipts were $1912.16. The total cost of conducting the plunge during the month was $1107.33, consequently the deficit was very small. Mr. Ashleigh is conducting swimming classes at the plunge. 15 lessons having been given in June, in which 390 persons participated. Appointments of Archie L. Steward and Clifford H. Younkera as police officers were confirmed by the council. These men were appointed in places of other officers who recently resigned. City Clerk Merritt reported that during June $23,546.69 in warrants had been issued on city funds and that this sum had been spent in the following manner: $21,599.98 for general purposes; $761.85 for library; $530 for bond redemption and $654.86 for various improvements. Bid received from F. E. Moore, representing the Missouri State Life Insurance Company on mortgage note outstanding on the city's sewer farm was filed. The note on the sewer farm is in the amount of $27,447.75. Invitation received from the city of San Francisco, inviting Anaheim to take part in "The Story of California" pageant to be held in that city September 5 to 11, was read by the clerk, but no action was taken in the matter. The pageant is to celebrate California's seventy-fifth anniversary of admittion to statehood.

An invitation from the management of the suburban theatre at Orana to the Kiwanis members and their wives and families to attend the theatre as guests was tendered by A. B. McCormick. White gave details of the Kiwanis picnic to be held at the Fairway Country Club this (Thursday) afternoon. Mr. Grim opened his remarks with a description of the vessel in which their trip was made, the Rotterdam, comparing its size and length with local objects. Describing the sensations of seasickness, he read a most amusing letter which he had written while en voyage. The speaker described the cities of Funcha, in the Madiera Islands; Lisbon, Cadiz, Seville and Gibraltar, some of the points visited on the trip. In conclusion, Grim told in most fascinating manner his sensations and experiences on the air trip from Paris to London, describing most graphically the various phases of the journey. Mrs. and Mrs. W. C.
